Product description
This is the story of how the food industry have used three essential ingredients to control much of the world's diet. In "Salt, Sugar, Fat" Michael Moss uncovers the truth about the food giants that dominate our supermarket shelves and reveals how the makers of processed foods have chosen, time and again, to increase consumption and profits, gambling that consumers and regulators wouldn't figure them out. With access to confidential files and memos, relentless and original reporting, and numerous sources from deep inside the industry, Michael Moss shows how some of the worlds biggeset food companies have pushed ahead, despite their own misgivings (never aired publicly) and in spite of the meteoric rise of obesity in the western world. The truth about what's in your shopping basket: a hunk of cheddar cheese is one-third fat, along with protein, salt and a little sugar; the human brain lights up for sugar the same way it does for cocaine; in nutrition circles, there is no single product - among the 50,000 items sold in the grocery store - that is considered more evil, or more directly responsible for the obesity crisis than soda; and, in the world of processed foods, salt is the great fixer. It corrects a myriad of problems that arise as a matter of course in the factory. Cornflakes, for example, taste metallic without it and crackers become bitter and soggy and stick to the roof of your mouth.

European Commission approves Milford Haven oil refinery deal
A US company has been given the green light to buy the Murco oil refinery in Milford Haven.
The sale was announced in July, but needed to be approved by the European Commission before it could go through.
The sale of the site has safeguarded 400 jobs.
The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns, because the overlaps were very limited and the new entity would continue to face strong competition from a number of credible players.
Redevelopment of Milford fishing port to get underway
An extensive redevelopment of Wales' largest fishing port is to get underway this week.
The Port of Milford Haven is building new fish processing units, offices and facilities for the inshore fleet as part of wider plans to boost the fishing industry.
It's the second stage of the planned £70m redevelopment of Milford Dock that developers hope will attract visitors and locals to the waterfront. It's expected to be completed by Spring next year.
"It's very exciting to see something that has been a long time in planning finally get underway. Few people realise how vibrant Wales' biggest fishing port actually is. We want to make the industry more visible and ensure it creates greater benefits for local businesses."
Details on new 'super prison' delayed
Plans to build a so-called 'super prison' in Wrexham are on hold after councillors voted to defer a decision until they have more information.
A meeting was held last night by Wrexham Planning Committee to address issues such as landscaping, layout and parking.
The prison has already been given outline permission.
The prison, designed to hold over 2000 inmates is estimated to cost £212m.
Councillor Neil Rogers is in favour of the prison and said that the local economy will benefit between £23 and £25m from the construction process alone.
Wrexham 'super prison' proposals to be decided
Wrexham Councillors will vote on more details about the new so-called 'super prison' in Wrexham later.
Outline planning permission for the multi million pound project has already been granted. The council's planning committee will discuss landscaping and layout in a meeting tonight. But there are still concerns about what impact the prison might have on the local area.
Previously the work on the £212 million prison was set to start this summer but was delayed while planners considered the proposals.
The scale of the development, which will have a maximum of 76,370sqm of floor space, and the position of two site access were approved at outline planning permission stage.
The final development will include a total of 13 buildings with a combined gross floor area of 72,622sqm and ranging from 8.5m in height to 15.5m in height.

Working with the Welsh and UK governments, local authorities such as Cardiff Council, the NHS in Wales, business partners and civic society, Cardiff Innovation System can establish the University, the City and Wales as international leaders in innovation.
Promoting Wales as a capital for job and wealth creation, a source of highly skilled-graduates and a thriving centre for innovation and commercialisation, is a powerful message to send to the international community.
Campus scheme designed to drive economic prosperity
Cardiff University has unveiled plans for a £300m campus and social science research park.
It's all part of aims to drive an "innovation-led growth that will boost the Welsh economy".
An ambitious vision is being announced by Cardiff University's vice-chancellor.

Just then, a puff of wind lifts the rolling, flapping bag over a chain-link fence and into the lives of several townsfolk — a can-collecting girl, a homeless man, a store owner — not that all of them notice. Renowned poet Ted Kooser fashions an understated yet compassionate world full of happenstance and connection, neglect and care, all perfectly expressed in Barry Root's tender illustrations. True to the book's earth-friendly spirit, it is printed on paper containing 100 percent recycled post-consumer waste and includes an author's note on recycling plastic bags.

Aluminum giant
Alcoa Inc.
) announced that it has broken ground on its new $100 million
aerospace expansion in La Porte, IN, where it will produce
nickel-based superalloy jet engine parts for large commercial
aircraft, including narrow- and wide-body and military airplanes.
The plant's construction is expected to complete by the end of
2015. The plant will provide highly engineered parts that are
required to build some of the best selling engines and at high
volumes to its customers. The facility will utilize the latest
technologies in order to meet particular product specifications.
The 32,000 square feet plant will increase Alcoa's capacity to
supply engines for narrow-body aircraft. It will also enable Alcoa
to produce parts about 60% larger than components it already
produces, thus expanding its market presence to wide-body
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation has offered Alcoa up
to $4 million in conditional tax credits, based on the company's
job creation plans. Further, the city of La Porte has approved tax
incentives of $7.1 million over a 10-year period. This is the
second major aerospace investment by Alcoa in Indiana in two years.
The first one being Alcoa's plans of constructing a $90 million
greenfield state-of-the-art aluminum lithium facility at its
Lafayette operations, as announced in 2012.
Alcoa is witnessing healthy airline fundamentals. The company, on
Apr 8, increased its global aerospace growth expectations for 2014
to 8%-9% from 7%-8% factoring in strong demand for both large
commercial aircraft and regional jets and sustained growth in the
business jet market.
Alcoa, a prominent player in the mining industry along with
Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd.
Atlatsa Resources Corp.
) and
BHP Billiton Ltd.

aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina. The company currently
holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

So is £340 your budget?
I've just ordered an F20 125d with about £3k of extras and that is exactly what it's costing per month on a PCP at 14k miles per year.
You could probably drop to the 120d which will still be quick enough to be fun. The auto is very good but it does add around £1500 to the price. I'm not sure what figures people are getting out of the 120d but according to reports 50mpg is easily achievable in the 125d. not bad for a car with over 200bhp that does 0-60 in 6.5s
While looking for a car I test drove.
Mercedes A250.
Same performance as the 125d but way more expensive to run. It didn't drive anywhere near as well as the BMW.
New Audi A3 1.8tfsi.
Gearbox doesn't seem to suit the engine. The engine was good on the motorway but crap around town. Handling and ride is much improved over the old model.
Golf GTD.
Just boring, felt a bit dated compared to the above and wasn't cheap
Skoda Octavia VRs
Same engine as the Golf but drove much better. I believe they don't share the same suspension set up or the Octavia has that complex dif thingy from the Golf GTi or something. MPG reports aren't fantastic for a diesel and my wife's a snob so it was out from the start.
Ford Focus 1.6TDCi
It drove well but I hated the interior.
Only other thing that I can think might be good is a Mini Dooper or something. Too small for me so never even tried.

Anyone brave enough to tackle VBA in Excel 2011, Ruby 1.9.2 / Sintra, and character encoding?
I've got a Mac VBA script that's making a request to a Ruby Sinatra web app. The text I'm passing from Excel contains character such as é. Unfortunately, ruby (version 1.9.2) chokes miserably on these characters as Excel is not sending them over as UTF-8.
# encoding: utf-8
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require "sinatra/reloader" if development?
configure do
class << Sinatra::Base
def options(path, opts={}, &block)
route 'OPTIONS', path, opts, &block
Sinatra::Delegator.delegate :options
options '/' do
response.headers["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] = "*"
response.headers["Access-Control-Allow-Methods"] = "POST"
halt 200
post '/fetch' do
chars = []
params['excel_input'].valid_encoding? #returns false
And my excel VBA is as follows:
Sub FetchAddress()
For Each oDest In Selection
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;http://localhost:4567/fetch", Destination:=oDest)
.PostText = "excel_input=" & oDest.Offset(0, -1).Value
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SaveData = True
End With
End Sub
The character é comes out the other end as Ž.
SNIP It looks like the text in excel is encoded as windows-1252 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 END SNIP
It looks like ruby thinks that the text is windows 1252, hence printing of Ž.
The byte representation of the character is 142 (or Ž in windows-1252). The problem is I don't know the encoding that is being sent to me from Excel in the first place.

Levy: Republicans and Hispanics can do this
Dear Mark: I am upset with the Republican Party of Texas. As a Hispanic Republican (yes, we do exist), I am frustrated that delegates at the Republican State Convention decided to end in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and place that in their platform. If Republicans want more Hispanics to join the party, why would they do something like this?

I've listed here the most important papers on the DNA/FH topic that I am able to make public.
The JOGG paper is also available on their website at www.jogg.info.
The Pomeroy Family Association (PFA) Annual Report is a shortened version of the report sent out to PFA members in December 2009. This abbreviated version shows the summary materials at the beginning of the report which describe how the trees are linked together and how the DNA results are being used, and they leave out the material on each individual tree.
The report prepared for Guild of One-name Studies (GOONS) members was a first draft of the JOGG paper I did in 2008. It is aimed at other project managers who are actively reconstructing the constituent trees in their surname(s) and collecting the transcribed data of key data sets in order to do so.
I've put these up so that they can gain a wider audience and help more people. PLEASE: do not re-post these files elsewhere on the web.

Before hitting the Sonoma County League road for the end of the first, and the start of the second half of the 12-game schedule, the three-time defending champion Sonoma Valley High School varsity volleyball girls cruised to their fifth straight SCL match to remain unbeaten and alone in first place.
Last Thursday night in Pfeiffer Gym, the Lady Dragons soared out of the gate and roared past Piner for a 25-3 first-set victory, which was followed by 25-6 second-set rout.
In the third set, the Sonoma girls got more resistance from the visiting Prospectors, but not near enough to stop them from coasting to a 25-13 win and the 3-0 match triumph.
The Lady Dragons were led by senior Mackenzie Albrecht's 20 assists and two blocks; senior Delaney Swanson's 14 kills, seven digs and five serving aces; sophomore Jenna Mak's 13 digs and one ace; junior Sami Von Gober's 10 digs and seven aces; junior Courtney Cogbill's 10 assists and three digs; senior Hannah Herrick's four kills and four digs; sophomore Kiara Miles' four digs, three kills, two aces and one dig; senior Cheyene McCambridge's four digs and three aces; and senior Ciara Smith's three kills.
Sonoma's spikers wrap up the SCL first half tonight against Elsie Allen in Santa Rosa, before playing a rematch at Petaluma on Thursday, Oct. 9, which kicks off the final stretch of six matches.

The Best Day for Along Time!
Our DS has had a rough year which I've discussed on previous posts, with bullying, school phobia, dyspraxia, ongoing assessments. Well we got the phone call from our LEA that our request to transfer our DS from current school (2000 pupils, rough, bullying, low moral in teaching staff) to a school further away (650 pupils, friendly, positive happy teachers) has been approved and he can start MONDAY. We are all so excited in our hearts we know this school is much better for him.
Also he had joint OT and physiotherapy assessments today and they went really well. He's got some brilliant exercises to do and they spotted some interesting things.
Perhaps today is the first good day and there are more to come here's hoping.
To anyone who has not had a good day I send a VERY big

The 2014 general election is over. I assume that all of the candidates got votes of some sort, and one of them got more than the others. It doesn't matter who beat who; what matters is that it's over. Now it's time to buckle down and do some work,
No matter who you are or what you believe, one thing is very clear. We have allowed our country to stray from the path. We're in the woods and following wills-o-the-wisp isn't going to get us anywhere. We need to sit down and have a serious discussion about where we are, how we got here, and how we get back to someplace we want to be. There's no Blair Witch in these woods; the only danger we're in is from our own stupid, so let's just work on that, shall we?
The first stage in any discussion, debate, or negotiation is for all parties to know what they want and what they'll settle for, so here's my wish list for the 113th US Congress.
Fix the Affordable Healthcare Act
Honestly, I don't care if Obamacare is "repealed, root and branch," or not. I just know it's broken and needs to be fixed. Provisions that should have been included were not, and there was some dumbass shit added that should be removed. Here's my short list.
The individual mandate needs to go. I'm all for offering a tax deduction to help those who can't afford basic insurance, but penalizing those who don't want it is stupid. It's also stupid to penalize those who can afford better than basic.
While we're on the subject of basic insurance, let's all try to agree that basic healthcare does not include any elective treatments. No boob jobs, no boner pills, and no birth control that isn't related to the immediate health of the mother. You can buy a rider for that if you want to, but it should not be required basic service.
If we're going to throw a big bag of money into the industry by public fiat, we have to limit who can grab the bag and how much they can grab. This shit where a single hospital stay can net a patient 30 different bills from 20 different "companies" has got to stop. There should be one bill for one procedure, and it should be fully discussed with the relevant parties before anyone starts sharpening a scalpel.
By that same token, drug companies should not be allowed to advertise prescription medication on television. If you think there's something wrong with you, by all means, see a doctor, but there is no point at which it is okay for a drug company to convince you to harangue your doctor into prescribing their medication.
Repeal the USA Patriot Act
Seriously. Just dump that shit.
Dissolve the Department of Homeland Security
And return the component bureaus to their original homes. INS (or whatever they're calling it now) should be part of State. Customs should be part of Commerce. The Coast Guard is a goddamned part of our military and should be part of the DoD like the rest of our military. We don't need a Department of Violating Every Idea On Which Our Nation Was Founded, and creating it was a bad idea in the first place. Lets dump it.
Reinstate Glass-Steagall
Or something like it. Whether Fannie Mae and the Community Reinvestment Act contributed to the crash of 2007 is open to debate. What isn't is that it never would have happened if Glass-Steagall (the law that separated banking institutions from less reliable investment entities) hadn't been repealed in 1996. As long as people who treat other people's lives as a commodity are allowed access to our savings, our savings will be at risk of another catastrophe.
Enforce our Anti-Trust Laws
I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again and again until someone finally listens) "Too big to fail is too big to exist!" There are too many industries dominated by too few companies. The thing is, they are all essential industries. Telecommunications, food production, fuel and energy production, name a national industry. Now name more than five companies in that industry. that needs to be fixed.
End "Free Trade" that isn't Fair Trade
We have a trade deficit. More money leaves our country than comes in. Shouldn't we seek some sort of balance?
And finally,
Fix Immigration
No, that doesn't mean provide amnesty for the million or so illegal immigrants currently living in our country. Since 1985, we've done nothing but make it easier to be an illegal while making it more difficult and harrowing for people to immigrate legally. We need to end the by-region immigration quotas and replace it with a first-come policy. I also think favored-professions should go, because who the hell are we to bleed a developing nation of their best and brightest?
And we need to make the punishments for employing illegal immigrants more severe. Get caught employing undocumented labor and you shouldn't have to pay a small fine, you should have to pay the difference between what you paid the immigrant(s) and what you would pay a legal resident. then you should submit to regular inspections to show that you learned your lesson. Because breaking the law has consequences, and one of those consequences is that you have to prove you can be trusted not to do it again.
That's my list. You have to register to leave a comment. I'll keep an eye out for new registrations. E-mail me at bhainley("at" symbol)casualnotice(period)com or message me on Facebook for expedited registration.

Quesada Tributo Cigars Shipping Soon
David Savona
Posted: May 26, 2010
The Quesada Tributo cigar line, the second cigar to bear the Quesada name, following the 2009 release of the Quesada 35th Anniversary, will be in cigar shops next week. Brand owner Manuel Quesada told Cigar Insider the cigars would ship from his factory in the Dominican Republic by the end of May and ship from SAG Imports in Miami the first week of June.
Like the Quesada 35th cigar, the Tributo brand was made by Quesada and his team of daughters, nephews and nieces—known as the "Fifth Generation"—at Matasa (Manufactura de Tabacos S.A.) in Santiago.
The brand comes in four sizes. The Manolin measures 6 1/2 inches by 60 ring, and has a suggested retail price of $7.95. The Alvaro, the only figurado in the line, is a 6 by 52 belicoso, and sells for $7.50. The Alvarito, a 4 1/2 by 40 cigar, sells for $5.25, and the Julio, a 5 by 50 robusto, is $6.50.

Tour de France Stage 6 & Wine and Gin Citrus Chill
Wake Up to the Tour with Pan Cooked French Toast and a Choice of Toppings – All in Pictures
The Tour on TV and the smell of butter, eggs, bread, and a good shot of ground cinnamon cooking in the frying pan! Click either the picture above or directly below for a complete, easy to follow step-by-step picture book recipe.
As for toppings, sure, you can use traditional maple syrup.
But just click any of the pictures below for picture book recipes that show how to put together very easy and terrifically flavorful alternative toppings. As always, what you see in those recipes works fine but is just intended to fire up your imagination. Try something different and make it all yours!
Cobble Destroyed Tour de France Day & Crepes Made Easy – All in Pictures
What an incredibly tough and destructive day on the cobblestones in the dreaded stage 5 of the Tour de France yesterday between Ypres and Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, still in Northern France. Congratulations to Dutchman Lars Boom (great name!) for destroying a field of tough, tough men and winning today's stage!
Just one word about the whole event today – and I'm 3000 miles away: "OUCH!" Another few words: cobblestones are part of classic road pavement history – and should be permanent history as far as pro cycle racing is concerned. Too many of the world's best athletes got smoked today, including last year's Tour winner Chris Froome, on history's pavement relics.
Baguette Full-On – All French and All Fun!
Another stunning win by Marcel Kittel – hey, the guy's won three of the first four stages of the Tour – with incredible strength and speed. And this was the first stage (section) of this year's Tour in France from Le Touquet-Paris-Plage to Lille Metropole. Terrific!
All right! The Tour's now in France. So how 'bout something, well, simply French?
Tour de France Yorkshire Pudding Ideas – In Pictures
Right now, here in this post, we're pausing – just briefly – with a refreshingly crisp Tom Collins toast to a terrific 3-day Tour de France start in England with a crunching win – again – by Marcel Kittel in London yesterday. And now, on to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage to Lille Metropole in France and Belgium
On the food side of life, it's been a real thrill finding ways to use both the traditional savory version of Yorkshire pudding and an improvised breakfast version – that I've enjoyed everyday since this past Friday. Read more »
Tom Collins Toast to a Great British Tour de France Start – All in Pictures
Inspirationally strong, gutsy rip-from-the-break-a mile-from-the-finish-line win by freshly crowned Italian National Cycling Champ Vincenzo Nibali in yesterday's grueling climb and descent 2nd stage of the Tour de France from York to Sheffield.
Today, the men ride from Cambridge to London in the 3rd and final stage of this year's Tour on British roads. So, how 'bout a refreshingly appropriate toast to a blaze-fast Tour start and incredibly enthusiastic fan support with an unmistakably British cocktail favorite, the Tom Collins, which is just as quick and easy to make as fresh lemon or limeade.
Breakfast Variation on Yorkshire Pudding – All in Pictures
Congratulations to Marcel Kittel (not pictured above) on winning the first stage of the Tour de France from Leeds to Harrogate in Yorkshire, England! At the same time, I'm darn sorry to hear that the "Manx Missile", Mark Cavendish, might be done for the Tour this year after a nasty crash near the finish line. His determination, savvy, and strength are always a thrill to watch.
Just as the Tour moves on to stage 2 that runs from York to Leeds, still in Yorkshire, we're gonna' move on with a very cool and easy to make breakfast variation on Yorkshire pudding that is a great alternative to a breakfast muffin or toast. I had a good blast of the version this morning slathered with fresh, homemade almond and homemade peanut butter, both of which I'll post here later in the Tour, along with some fresh papaya, strawberries, yogurt and whipped cream (absolutely necessary!) – all of which sustained me no problem for 35 miles on the bike late this morning.
Yorkshire Pudding: Tour de France Food – All in Pictures
All right! The 101st Tour de France rips out of Leeds to Harrogate today – 190km or 118 miles – all in the Yorkshire province of England. Terrific!
I tried this signature Yorkshire pudding recipe for the first time two nights ago – and had a lot of fun doing it (ya, I only filled 10 of the 12 muffin tin holes. That happens – fine.)
Scrambled Eggs with Sausage, Bell Pepper and Cheese – All in Pictures
This full-on flavor recipe combines the protein power of eggs and sausage, fresh zest of red bell pepper and shallots and richness of Parmesan cheese – all in one pan.
As mentioned in other scrambled egg recipes here, adding just a small amount of salt to the eggs before cooking them not only enhances scrambled egg flavor, it also ensures the eggs will turn out soft and tender. Eggs cooked without salt tend to be tough and rubbery as shown in the comparison pictures below.
Kid-Friendly Grapes and Banana with Yogurt and Jam – All in Pictures
Kids are out of school for the summer, and they'll be hungry. Great time to help them help themselves in the kitchen with a fast, fresh and flavorful breakfast or snack recipe they can make safely on their own.
The key to kid-safety is that this recipe doesn't require the use of knife. The grapes can be eaten whole, and the banana can be broken into smaller pieces by hand as shown below.

Wu-Tang Clan is a New York City rap group with the MCs/Producers RZA, GZA/Genius, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa hailing from Staten Island, Brooklyn and Bronx. They have gone on to become multi-platinum record producers, Grammy winners, TV and film stars, screenwriters, product spokespersons, business owners and, most recently, major motion picture composers. The Clan featured nine MCs until the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004. One of the most critically and commercially successful hip hop groups of all time, Wu-Tang Clan shot to fame through their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music. Since their debut, they have introduced or launched the careers of numerous other artists and groups, and already in 1994 there were credited to be over 300 Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, consisting of rappers, producers, and record label CEOs.
The founders of the Wu-Tang Clan were RZA, GZA, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, who had previously formed the group Force of the Imperial Master (later known as All In Together Now after the release of a popular single by that name). The group attracted the attention of some notable figures in the industry, including Biz Markie, but did not manage to secure a record deal.

Pretty, But Rims Chip Easily!
Elizabeth from New York, NY– Verified Buyer
I love the look, but we've had them for about a month, and at least 2 of them are already chipped around the rim. We're not particularly rough on them -- we put them in the dishwasher, but we don't stack them or anything, and our shelves are lined.
Quality Glass

Village Events to be held:
The Dog Inn
sadly closed again on 9 November with Nick, the manager, moving to The Ranken Arms, Hoddlesden along with chef Jamie. Owners of the pub, Enterprise Inns, has not been very forthcoming with the village committee as to whether or not anyone is due to take over managing the pub but it is expected that with structural work needed and Enterprise Inns rumoured to be in administration that the building will remain empty for some tome.
This has unfortunately resulted in the village having to source alternative venues for Committee and History group meetings, Christmas parties etc.

Belthorn Committee fund-raising
The Committee is reliant upon donations and fund raising in order to continue putting on events for the benefit of the village and its residents. All donations go into Committee Funds. All donations received are accounted for in the Committee meeting's minutes unless received at an event in which case they are accounted for generally by the treasurer when reporting to the committee on the amounts received from an event.
If anyone would like to donate to the Belthorn Village Committee, all contributions towards village funds are gratefully received. The Belthorn Village Committee is the generic name for The Belthorn Village Hall Fund which is a registered charity. The Committee is run by volunteers who are villagers (or connected to the village) and donate their time and effort for the benefit of the village and its residents. Any monetary donations received will go towards future village events and projects.

A Boston Fire Department hazardous materials team cleans the first blast site near the Boston Marathon finish line on April 22. Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
With 1,000 FBI agents working the case of the Boston bombing, a suspect in custody and reams of evidence already sifted, there's quite a lot we've learned about the Tsarnaev brothers. The more we've learned, the less we really know. Consider:
1. So Russia told the FBI, twice, that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a subject of interest to them. The FBI interviewed Tsarnaev and apparently obtained some of his communications and did not find any evidence that he was a threat. Then Tsarnaev goes to Dagestan, a place where many of the 9/11 co-conspirators received their training, for six months. But when he returned to the U.S., Russia once again pinged him, but did not provide any additional information. I say "but," because the Russian intelligence services have an enormous surveillance net and presence in the Caucasus; either they collected new information about his whereabouts or activities, or they did not. Significantly, whatever they DID find did not cause them to change their level of alarm. The U.S. intelligence and counter-terrorism analysts working the Tsarnaev case undoubtedly understand Russian capabilities better than I do. So what did the Russians know about the older brother BEFORE his Dagestan trip, and what did they learn from him during that trip?
2. Today came news that the two Boylston Street bombs were remotely detonated and contained a mix of different low-grade explosive powders. That points on one hand to a level of sophistication that might imply training or co-conspirators. But maybe not: A cellphone-triggered device is much harder to make than one that can be triggered by a fob-like device you can buy at a local hobby store. And the powder mix may simply have been a prudent way to avoid being seen as suspicious for buying lots of fireworks. In any event, making the bomb requires time, effort, and space. Where were the bombs made? Where were they tested? Were there precursors?
3. So far as motives go, we still don't have one. Radical Islamic jihad is a theology; the motive — to hurt people, to protest American foreign policy, to get back at someone — remains unknown. And that motive will help us determine the mix of factors that moved the older brother from apparently lapsed Muslim to radicalized Muslim to an active terrorist.
4. What are the differences between the goals of radical Islamic forces in Chechnya? Is there evidence that Russian separatism, ethnic nationalism has become less important? Is the Salafist-Sunni brand of radical Islam diversifying? Is it directly responsible for attacks against U.S. interests inside the United States? Have we missed signs that the Caucuses Emirate, with Doku Umarov as its spiritual leader, has aspirations to replace al Qaeda? (The group insisted this week it has no beef with the United States.) The brothers' Chechen family insists that Tamerlan was radicalized inside the United States. "Radicalization" is a very complex and rather undefined process. In shorthand, it seems to mean the social and psychological developments that created within him the justification to commit terrorism.
5. Finally, given that the frequency of terrorist incidents against the West is down, will the attention given to this incident fuel others who might have been otherwise convinced not to act on their radical beliefs?

Ghana: 'we want oil to be a blessing for all'; Ghana will join the club of global oil producers in either late 2009 or early 2010 when production starts in the Tano Basin of the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of the Western Region where "significant" oil deposits were discovered last year, reports Tom Mbakwe.
It will start by producing 60,000 barrels a day, and increase to between 250,000 and 300,000 barrels a day by 2012 when at full production. In an exclusive interview with New African, Adu-Gyamfi, a businessman in his own right, said though Ghana has been producing oil for many years from its Saltpond field, the quantity (700 barrels a day) was so insignificant that one couldn't describe Ghana as a genuine oil producer. But this time, with production starting at 60,000 barrels a day, and rising to 250,000-300,000 barrels a day in 2012, "we can now call ourselves an oil producing country", said a proud Adu-Gyamfi.
Ghana's current daily consumption of oil is 60,000 barrels a day, much of it imported from Nigeria. "By producing 60,000 barrels a day ourselves, we will have a guaranteed supply and staple price, but not necessarily cheap pump prices," Adu-Gyamfi hinted.
Last year, after many years of exploration, Ghana finally struck oil in "significant" quantities offshore in the Tano Basin near the border with Cote d'Ivoire.
Three foreign oil companies--Kosmos Energy, (American); Anadarko Petroleum (also American); and Tullow (British)--are working on Ghana's find, located 65km off the Western Region. Of high quality (light crude, the best in the business), the find, estimated at three billion barrels in total, is expected to last 30 years at full production.
Exploration is still continuing--and more could be found. As many as 13 foreign companies are now actively exploring for oil within Ghana's territorial waters, and, as Adu-Gyamfi puts it, "there is the likelihood that more oil will be found".
Kosmos made the first discovery in its Mahogany 1 & 2 blocks, while Tullow made the second find in its Hyedua block. The first two finds are said to flow from the same reservoir. But the third discovery, made by Kosmos in early 2008 in its Odum block, has its own reservoir. The three blocks have since been renamed the "Jubilee Field", to mark Ghana's Golden Jubilee of independence, the year in which the oil discoveries were made.
The companies have agreed to coordinate their production, and have already secured a rig which will cost them $640m in three years, for the operation. In all, 27 wells will be drilled, five of which are already up and running. It costs about $30m to drill one well, and the companies are hoping to spend $400m in the early production phase, and $3.5bn at full production.
Adu-Gyamfi denied claims made by Ghanaian opposition politicians that the nation would get only 10% of the proceeds from the oil, with the remaining 90% going to the foreign companies.
He said instead of 10%, the nation would get a "cumulative share of 51%" of all the revenue accruing from the oil, and challenged anybody who had the least doubt to check the facts from the oil agreements that were deposited in Parliament long before the foreign companies started work in Ghana.
"These agreements begin life at the GNPC," Adu-Gyamfi told New African. "We do the first draft and take it to the Ministry of Energy for study and approval. It then goes to cabinet for study and approval, before it is taken to Parliament for ratification.
"So before a company comes in, it already has the agreement, and when it discovers oil, everybody knows the shares they will get. Everything is laid out before the work begins, so it is not when oil has been discovered that you sit down to negotiate the shares," Adu-Gyamfi explained. "In terms of our agreements, Parliament debated and approved them well before the oil companies started their exploration work. The agreements are now public documents. Anybody can go to Parliament and check."
According to him, the oft-repeated 10% share is just the first tranche of the shares (or in petroleum parlance, "the carried interest") that the nation will get from the oil find. This will be in addition to a 5% royalty fee, and another 3.5% "paid or participating interest" that Ghana will have in the project (this one will be paid for by the state, amounting to $140m). On top of that, the oil companies will pay 35% corporate tax on their profits, in addition to what is called in the business as "additional oil entitlements".
"In all, Ghana will get a cumulative 51% share of all the revenue from the oil," Adu-Gyamfi explained, pointing out that "any model petroleum agreement states that 10% is the carried interest, but that is not all; there are more. To go around and tell people we are getting only 10% is deliberate misinformation."
Ghana has one major oil refinery situated in the port city of Tema with a capacity of 45,000 barrels a day, and a second one is being built by a private consortium in Takoradi to handle what Tema can't refine from the Jubilee Field.
According to Adu-Gyamfi, geological studies show that mainland Ghana might be sitting on large deposits of oil. "The studies show that we have the same sedimentary soil formation as landlocked Chad which has discovered huge deposits of oil. So we are confident that we will discover more oil on mainland Ghana itself. It's exciting news. So far, little exploration work has been done on the mainland. It's a job for the future." A major spin-off of the oil project is gas production, and plans are advanced to build a gas pipeline that will take gas from the Jubilee Field to the Osagyefo Barge (a floating generating plant on the sea off the Western Region). In the meantime, the Ghanaian government is inviting companies with the required expertise to build a gas plant to process the gas to come from the Jubilee Field. "There will be no flaring of gas in the production of Ghana's oil," vowed Adu-Gyamfi.
He revealed that all the oil companies working in Ghana have "decommissioning programmes" in place to ensure that they don't leave the country with environmental problems. The decommissioning plans are vetted and approved by Ghana's Environmental Protection Agency. A decommissioning fund is to be set up.
In February this year, Ghana called an oil and gas conference in Accra attended by all the major oil producers in the world, so that Ghana could learn from their experience, and avoid their mistakes (such as environmental degradation, neglect of host communities, misuse of oil revenue, etc).
"We don't want to go the way some of these countries have gone--in making oil a curse instead of a blessing," Adu-Gyamfi said. "We want to make oil a blessing for all our citizens, and as President Kufuor said at the oil conference, perhaps providence did not give us oil earlier because it wanted us to learn from the experience of our predecessors."
Norway, acknowledged as the world's 'best manager of oil revenues', is being studied by Ghana as a role-model.
