When Exxon Mobil speaks, the energy world sits up and pays attention. The Irving, Texas-based company is America's largest oil-and-gas company.
Later Thursday Exxon will release its annual energy outlook, which this year has a stark message—we are entering an era of abundance; it's time the U.S. started exporting oil.
Exxon's outlook is more optimistic than that of BP, which produces its own annual look-ahead. Exxon is increasingly optimistic about how much oil can be recovered with today's technology, predicting 65% of the world's crude will be untapped by 2040 (the U.K. company, by contrast, says no one "can know how much oil exists under the earth's surface or how much it will be possible to produce.")

Talk about resource nationalism. In Mexico, a plan to end the state oil company's longstanding monopoly has caused widespread disquiet.
Previously, Mexican governments have balked at even contemplating challenging the status quo. State-owned Petróleos Mexicanos is a potent symbol of the country's independence, and the depth of this feeling has been seen in the past few days. Protesters formed a human chain around Mexico's Senate as the debate began.
Geologists believe Mexico to have the world's fourth-largest reserves of shale gas, but crude production has stagnated in recent years. Pemex has estimated that investment needs to top $60 billion a year—more than double the current levels—to tap the country's potential. Read More »

By LEONG SHEN LI
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Brunei has officially dropped its long-standing claim over Sarawak's Limbang district after the two countries resolved various land and maritime territory disputes.
"Brunei has decided to drop the Limbang issue and as a result, Limbang is part of Malaysian territory," Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced to Malaysian media.
The resolution of the disputes were sealed via the signing of the Letters of Exchange by Abdullah and the Sultan of Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah at Istana Nurul Iman here yesterday.
The other disputes include over where the maritime boundary between the two countries in the South China Sea should run, the rights to exploit potentially rich oil deposits in the disputed maritime territory, the right of movement by Malaysian vessels over Brunei waters and the demarcation of the common boundary of the two countries.
The dispute over Limbang can be traced back to the cession of the territory by Brunei to Sarawak's White Rajahs in 1890. The cession had been strongly disputed by the Sultanate which regarded the transfer as annexation by Sara-wak.
Yesterday, Abdullah thanked the Sultan for the resolution of the various disputes, especially that of Limbang.
He said bilateral relations between the two countries would now enter a new era.
Abdullah and the Sultan said in a joint statement that they had reached agreement over the maritime boundaries between the two countries in the South China Sea.
They also agreed to establish a "commercial arrangement area" where oil and gas revenue in the disputed area would be shared between the two nations. How much each country would get was not disclosed.
The two sides also agreed to the existence of "unsuspendable rights of maritime access" which guaranteed the right of movement by Malaysian vessels through Brunei territorial waters provided Brunei's laws and regulations are obser-ved.
Lastly, the Letters of Exchange also established the methods to demarcate the land boundary between the two countries.
The negotiations over the agreements, which began in 1995, took 39 rounds of talks to reach the resolution.
The dispute over maritime territory arose out of a 1979 map published by Malaysia which indicated that all deep-sea territorial waters off the coast of Brunei belonged to Malaysia.
The latest dispute over maritime territory occurred in 2003 when Malaysia and Brunei awarded petroleum production-sharing contracts for four exploration blocks to different companies in the disputed area, close to where a 440 million-barrel discovery had been made the year before.
Following the dispute, both countries agreed to stop drilling activities in the area.

Smart meter backlash spreads to Wisconsin (sort of)
By: SGN Staff
About two dozen Marshfield, Wisconsin residents have told Marshfield Utilities they don't want smart meters. No, it's not a huge number but the water and electric meter installation project began only recently, in the summer.
The utility's $4.5 million smart meter project began with replacing water meters because most are installed in the home and appointments need to be made to enter. Advanced electric meters will be installed afterward.
While it certainly isn't a massive uprising, Marshfield Utilities General Manager Bob Trussoni told the Marshfield News Herald that the utility is gathering names of residents who don't want the meters.
But he did say he thinks some of the meter opponents will change their minds if they are required to pay $15 to $25 a month to keep their current meters. The utility does intend to submit an opt out plan to the state Public Service Commission. But, Trussoni said, "We can't submit that until we know who wants to opt out."
The complaints against smart meters are essentially the same as they have been in the variety of anti-metering initiatives that have been nagging utilities for a number of years: concerns about health related to electromagnetic emissions and concerns about data security.

In 2009, Conor Oberst, master musician behind Bright Eyes, told Rolling Stone magazine that Bright Eyes' next album, what would become this February's "The People's Key," would be its last, fueling speculation that this year's performances could mark the end of the band.
But near the end of Sunday's sold-out show at the Riverside Theater, in front of what Oberst earnestly called one of the best crowds he's played for lately, Oberst promised Bright Eyes would return. Problem is, Sunday's astonishing two-hour, 24-song set, culminating with several fans climbing the stage to embrace Oberst, will be nearly impossible to top.
At 31, Oberst is one of the most ambitious, accomplished indie rockers of his generation, structuring lush folk, pop and electric orchestrations around poetic lyrics. Occasionally that ambition leads to moody self-seriousness.
Live, Oberst emoted necessary anguish, pushing aside pretentiousness with strong performances, including "Lua," a daring pre-encore finale supported only by acoustic guitar, fragile singing from Oberst and fans and, for this rendition, a sharp, sorrowful trumpet.
Oberst also showed an infectious, fun side, flashing his belly for brooding "Approximate Sunlight," spinning in circles while strumming guitar for peppy popper "Jejune Stars" and playfully pushing a fan into the pit during the wide-eyed wonder of "One for You, One for Me." Bright Eyes' three-piece band was upsized to seven, and the orchestration was exquisite, particularly during "Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)," lifted by tangy slide guitar and two drummers.
Oberst dedicated "Old Soul Song" to Madison protesters, opening the door to political tangents when he called Gov. Scott Walker a choice 12-letter word, urged people to vote him out of office and, playfully, suggested they egg his house. Political punditry often kills rock parties, but the crowd adored it.
This was Bright Eyes' big night, but opening act Titus Andronicus threatened to steal the show, heating up the crowd within seconds with spirited, take-no-prisoners punk. At one point, frontman Patrick Stickles climbed the speakers to the balcony to lead an exuberant crowd clap-along. His antics inspired throngs in the pit to push and shove and launch crowd surfers up to the stage. Shakespeare this definitely wasn't, but you couldn't ask for a more thrilling way to start a show.

General order 24, were Kir kand Scotty bluffing?
View Single Post
September 2 2013, 10:30 PM
Re: General order 24, were Kir kand Scotty bluffing?
True that. But it isn't in any way outside the general Trek parameters that a fairly low traffic load would already put thousands at risk: individual transports supposedly carry that many people already. And "Errand of Mercy" consistently suggests that the ownership of a Class M rock is strategically significant, completely regardless of what sort of industry, culture or lichen may be growing on that rock.
"Armageddon" doesn't stand out in this respect, then - nor in the respect of giving very thin exposition at the beginning and then never really returning to it. Which IMHO makes speculation all the more fun, as the cues and limitations really come from elsewhere in Trek: the works of unrelated, often disagreeing authors must be rather brutally meshed together and then molded to all-new shapes to provide the answers.

BETH WILSON: Social Media: The Good, the Bad, the Caution
Do you Twitter? Are you Link-In? Are you on My-Space, Facebook? Do you blog? Did you see that YouTube vid? Do you have "texting thumb syndrome?"
Social media is here and it is not going anywhere. For the most part, I LOVE social media. I have been a huge advocate for the DoD to get on board with using the potential and power of social media, especially in the arena of Family Support Programs and Command Support. I was thrilled when the DoD released its directive on the use of social media earlier this year. The potential to provide reliable information to military families through social media is limited only by your creativity.
Social media has the potential, especially for military families and couples, to provide connection and communication, thus enhancing family bonds as never before. Photos of family, the children, family events and report cards can give military families a greater sense of connection across the miles. I am all for tools that strengthen families!
However, there are legitimate concerns and pitfalls. Bear with me, I'm about to put on my "Mama Beth" face. I am concerned about a trend in social media that is damaging to relationships, marriages, and yes, even our command's mission.
Social Media Gossip
There are two issues here. First, in years past gossip was considered a bad thing. It was wrong to speak evil of others or spread unflattering information. Today we have TMZ glorifying gossip and bad behavior. But — I digress.
My inbox is full with accounts of "lose lips" sinking marriages, friendships among other things. Gossip happens, yes. But gossip is WRONG. Social media opens the door to post things that we would not say to each other face-to-face. It offers "cover" and is deceptively inviting to post far more than should be posted. Let me give you a few examples
w Candace posted about going out with Mary, Ellen and Tania, getting drunk and flirting. Ellen's husband mentioned the post to Tania's husband who was hurt that his loving wife was drinking and flirting while he was deployed. However, it was not "his Tania" — but another command wife. The deployed husband does not know who to believe is hurt by Tania and his relationship with others in his command is affected.
w Maia, in a low moment of frustration, posted her frustration with the military, her husband's command, deployment, her husband and military life. She posted — "if I could I'd just leave it all right now." She didn't really mean it but there it was in black and white on her blog. Her friend, Leah, mentioned it to her husband (who was deployed with Maia's husband) who then talked to Maia's husband. Do I need to tell you how this impacted the husband? Their marriage?
w Then there is the FRG drama. Suzie was offended by Linda and posted it on Facebook. The next thing you know people have taken sides and the FRG that needs to be unified in purpose is divided and dangerously close to dissolving. All because of a misunderstanding that should easily have been resolved over a "real life" cup of coffee.
With freedom and convenience there comes equal responsibility. I know it feels good to post your frustrations and anger. It is exciting to post your life on Facebook and Twitter. But the drama, pain and unintended consequences that follow can be severe.
What you do online is NOT private. Guard your life, your marriage, your privacy, and yes, your command, with due diligence especially online.

There are 2 half round straps each side of the stem (1 top & bottom both sides)
There is one bolt connecting the bottom staps that passes behind the coolant bottle...you need to shave a bit of plastic off the lug to get bolt through...but hardly any) the top staps bolt on to the existing frame brackets either side of the ignition.
Apart from the two side brackets (which also support the indicators) The fairing is connected with 2 qwick lock fasteners to the dash. which is bolted to a flat plate bracket above the headlight.
All works pretty well and takes less than 5mins to remove the fairing. it is fiddly getting it sorted but the stem bracket is rock solid which is the key.
This bloke uses a stainless strap on his which I tried copying but couldn't get to work
If you need anything more let me know happy to take some more/clearer pictures for you if that helps.

Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), The BIRT Company™ – delivering more insights to more people than all BI companies combined – today announced that ActuateOne® is now certified on CDH4 (Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop Version 4). ActuateOne is a BI platform and suite of interactive applications, based on BIRT, that enable developers and end users to create and customize analysis and visualizations of traditional and Big Data from virtually any source.
ActuateOne's flexible approach to connect to and merge an array of Big Data sources, combined with Hadoop's data scalability, enables organizations to build information applications that facilitate more effective and collaborative decision making. CDH is a 100-percent open source distribution that combines Apache Hadoop with other open source applications within the Hadoop stack to deliver advanced, enterprise-grade features, and is the world's most widely deployed distribution of Apache Hadoop in commercial and non-commercial environments. Through its integration with CDH, ActuateOne now makes it easier for organizations to attain value from Big Data – data that is too large to manage using existing database management tools – whether that data is structured, unstructured, device- or activity-generated – for example data from social networks.
"Actuate's goal is to support our customers' needs for Big Data architecture – from accessing, to visualizing and analyzing, to operationalizing data for insights that can improve any organization's bottom line," said Nobby Akiha, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Actuate. "We are pleased that, as a Cloudera Certified Technology, Actuate can provide best-in-class support to the two million BIRT developers worldwide who can use ActuateOne and CDH4 to develop analysis and visualization applications."
Actuate also announced that it has joined the Cloudera Certified Technology program, which makes it simpler for Apache Hadoop technology buyers to purchase the right cluster components and software applications to extract the most value from their data. Clusters that leverage CDH4 alongside Cloudera Certified Technologies like ActuateOne operate with reduced risk and lower total cost of ownership. Cloudera Certified Technologies have been tested and validated to use supported APIs and to comply with Cloudera development guidelines for integration with Apache Hadoop.
"Building a Hadoop cluster from the ground up can be challenging. There are numerous choices to be made at all levels of the stack, and making those choices can be very complicated. The Cloudera Certified Technology program is designed to make those choices easy and reliable," said Tim Stevens, Vice President of Corporate and Business Development at Cloudera. "We're committed to helping enterprises achieve the most from their Big Data initiatives, and we're pleased that Actuate has completed its certification of ActuateOne on CDH4."
About Cloudera

Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH), available to download for free from www.cloudera.com/downloads, is the most comprehensive, tested, stable and widely deployed distribution of Hadoop in commercial and non-commercial environments. For the fastest path to reliably use this completely open source technology in production for Big Data analytics and answering previously un-addressable big questions, organizations can subscribe to Cloudera Enterprise, comprised of Cloudera Support and a portfolio of software including Cloudera Management Suite. Cloudera also offers consulting services, training and certification on Apache technologies.

Even though it's now Microservices Journal, long-time fans of SOA World Magazine can take comfort in the fact that the URL – soa.sys-con.com – remains unchanged. And that's no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade. Skeptics, however, might say that this change is nothing more than an exercise in buzzword-hopping. SOA is passé, and now that people are ...

There has been a lot of discussion recently in the DevOps space over whether there is a unique form of DevOps for large enterprises or is it just vendors looking to sell services and tools.

JONATHAN POWELL: As Tony Blair's chief of staff, the tousle-haired Jonathan Powell was at the PM's side during at every key moment in the build-up to war. Along with Alastair Campbell, he was Blair's most trusted confidant as the No 10 struggled to win support for the action. Powell, a former diplomat, was heavily involved in the drafting of the intelligence dossier that made the case for the invasion and the Hutton Inquiry heard how he urged MI6 chief John Scarlett to toughen the dossier's language. He was not criticised by Lord Hutton or the subsequent Butler inquiry, although the latter had strong words about the informal "sofa style" of government that had developed under Powell. He left Downing Street in June 2007 when Blair stepped down. He later took up a position at Morgan Stanley's investment banking arm.

A Canyon Country man accused of trying to pay a man to have his wife killed was offered an undisclosed plea deal, officials said Tuesday.

Dino Guglielmelli, 53, of MacMillan Ranch Road, is accused of trying to pay $80,000 to have his his wife, Monica Olsen, aka Monica Andreny, killed.
"The defendant has until June 9 to take the offer," said Deputy District Attorney Emily Cole, who's in charge of the case's prosecution.
The man he's accused of soliciting for the murder, Richard Fuhrmann, is a former business acquaintance of Guglielmelli's who was working as a witness for the Sheriff's Department when Fuhrmann recorded a discussion with Guglielmelli and discussing the alleged murder for hire.

The case is expected to go to trial shortly thereafter if the defendant does not accept, Cole said, declining to mention the details of the deal because they weren't discussed in open court.
Guglielmelli is due back in court on that date to announce his intention.
The trial has garnered international attention for the former CEO of Creation's Garden, a multimillion-dollar vitamin supplement business.

From an earlier story
Cole played a 14-minute excerpt from a 90-minute taped recording of an Oct. 1 meeting between the two.

Cole's questioning of Fuhrmann, who claimed he had lost "everything" since Guglielmelli's arrest, explained their relationship as two business acquaintances whose friendship grew as Guglielmelli's marriage continued to unravel.
Guglielmelli's alleged resolve to kill his wife grew more impassioned after a domestic violence charge Guglielmelli filed against Andreny was dismissed, Fuhrmann said.
"He wanted specifically to know if I knew anyway to have her killed," Fuhrmann said, during direct examination.
Upon cross-examination, Brooklier questioned Fuhrmann's credibility, mentioning a letter Fuhrman sent to a divorce attorney for Andreny back in March 2012 expressing concern for the life of Guglielmelli's wife, which Fuhrmann admitted sending.
Brooklier then brought up the fact that in a sworn deposition in August 2013, Fuhrmann characterized threats Guglielmelli made as "nothing more than an angry husband."
During the taped conversation, Guglielmelli can be heard asking, "There's no way for them to track it back to me?" referring to the pair's alleged deal.
"I'll be happy when it's all over," Guglielmelli said, on the tape.
After Fuhrmann expressed concern over his pay in the matter, Guglielmelli offered reassurance.
"You're going to get paid," Guglielmelli said. "Don't worry about that — I've got you covered."

Shankar Kambhampaty, an MVP from Hyderabad, India and Chief Technology Officer at the Investment Banking unit of Polaris Software Lab, just got the second edition of his book - Service Oriented Architecture for Enterprise and Cloud Applications – published by Wiley India. This book is targeted at practitioners who wish to get insights into developing SOA solutions. Software architects, designers, developers, project managers and consultants can benefit significantly from this book. At the same time, beginners can also get an understanding of the concepts and how SOA based solutions are developed in practice today. The best practices identified through executing a number of SOA projects, provide the much needed guidance to project teams.
The book is packaged with CD-ROM which includes source code of PoCs which demonstrate the usage of SOA technology elements/products and instruction document for each PoC which contains the instruments to deploy and run the PoCs.
Indeed a nice initiative by the author. I hope I could afford one ...
Thanks and Regards,

Father of US school shooter expresses shock
NEWTOWN, Connecticut – The father of the 20-year-old US man who is thought to have killed 26 people including 20 young children along with his own mother expressed grief and shock Saturday.
Peter Lanza is the father of Adam Lanza, who is thought to have taken his own life shortly after carrying out Friday's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. He released a statement to WFSB television in Connecticut.
"Our hearts go out to the family and friends who lost loved ones and to all those who were injured. Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy," the statement said.
"No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief in trying to find whatever answers we can," it continued.
"We, too, are asking why. We have cooperated fully with law enforcement and will continue to do so. Like so many of you, we are saddened and struggling to make sense of what has transpired."
Lanza was divorced from Adam's mother Nancy. Adam lived with his mother in Newtown, and she is thought to have been his first victim before he set off for the school.
The slain mother owned a registered collection of guns, including those used in the attack.

Wanxiang says panel approves A123 sale
Tuesday - 1/29/2013, 4:28pm EST
AP Business Writer
DOVER, Del. (AP) - Chinese auto parts conglomerate Wanxiang Group Corp. said Tuesday that a federal panel has approved its purchase of most assets of failed battery maker A123 Systems Inc.
The approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) came more than a month after a Delaware bankruptcy judge signed off on the deal, valued at nearly $257 million.
`"We're pleased the government has completed its review and provided us with the go-ahead to finalize this transaction," said Pin Ni, president of Elgin, Ill.-based Wanxiang America.
A spokeswoman for the Treasury Department declined to confirm the decision by CFIUS, a federal interagency committee headed by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that reviews sales of U.S. companies to foreign owners.
"By law, information filed with CFIUS may not be disclosed by CFIUS to the public," said spokeswoman Holly Shulman.
Waltham, Mass.-based A123, which makes lithium-ion batteries for electric cars, grid storage and commercial and military applications, received more than $130 million of a $249 million Department of Energy grant before declaring bankruptcy. A company spokesman declined to comment Tuesday on the CFIUS decision.
Critics of the deal repeated their concerns about the economic and security risks of U.S. technology acquired by foreigners.
"The approved sale marks yet another step in the coordinated strategy by foreign countries to acquire leading U.S. companies who are researching, developing and producing critical technologies," said Dean Popps, co-chair of the Strategic Materials Advisory Council, a group of retired military and defense industry officials. "CFIUS itself has recognized this strategy but it appears they continue to fail to do anything to prevent it."
Wanxiang beat Milwaukee-based auto parts marker Johnson Controls Inc. in bidding for most of A123's assets after the company sought bankruptcy protection. After its initial offer of $125 million for A123's automotive assets was trumped by Wanxiang, Johnson lobbied with other critics of the deal, including some members of Congress, trying to persuade CFIUS to deny approval of Wanxiang's purchase.
Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., said Tuesday that it's clear that the technology acquired by Wanxiang has both civilian and military applications.
"It is also apparent that this technology was developed using taxpayer dollars through President Obama's stimulus program and is now falling into the hands of a foreign company," Huizenga said in a statement. "American taxpayers should not be funding technology that will in turn be used in competition against American companies."
A Department of Energy spokesman said the grant to A123 was used for the construction of manufacturing facilities at two Michigan sites, not technology or research.
"Consistent with the intent of that investment, the purchase of these assets includes the Energy Department's requirement that the plants and equipment partially paid for by the Recovery Act stay in Michigan and continue to operate," said DOE spokesman Bill Gibbons.
The sale to Wanxiang does not include A123's defense-related business assets, which are being sold separately for $2.25 million to Navitas Systems of Woodridge, Ill.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who is vice chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has questioned whether Navitas can manufacture A123's military-grade batteries without assistance from Wanxiang. In a letter last week to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Blackburn also asked whether the deal specifically prohibits the transfer to Wanxiang of technical data related to A123's military products.
Blackburn said Tuesday that the administration's approval of the sale contradicts a commitment made by Obama during his inaugural speech to keep control of cutting-edge energy technologies developed in the U.S.
"Actions speak louder than words and this is a clear cut example of a time when President Obama needs to step in and protect our national security interests," Blackburn said. "We cannot afford to have technology that is used in our drones and Navy SEAL delivery systems end up in the hands of the Chinese government."

Weird tickets and lessons learned.
Motorcycles are small and maneuverable. As such they go places cars can't. There are also laws on the books for doing almost anything you can think of with regards to the operation of your motor vehicle.
I've learned you're not suppose to drive on the sidewalks even though the law says you can do it to "access adjacent property."
And this past weekend I learned when you see "cones and barriers" they represent something stronger than: If you can squeeze through yer good to go. Nope. And no written message like "Rode Closed" needs to be present.
What lessons have you learned on a BIKE that you might not have had you been in 4-wheel vehicle?
I've learned that when you have a collision with a car on a M/C, it hurts a LOT more than it does if you have a collision with a car while IN a car.
If you got a ticket for going through the cones I would like to see the vehicle code section and the report.
Disobedience to a traffic control device.
They seem to have very little tolerance towards wheelstanding across the parking lot while waving at your buddies.....:wave
passing a tractor trailer on a double yellow with a long clear view ahead isn't ok even when there are ripped bags of sand on the trailer blowing sand back at you
A coworker turned left in a lane with a "right turn" arrow. His ticket: "Failure to obey traffic control device". And since it was on post, his name and offense got listed in the base newspaper.
kicking a cone or trying to pick up something on the road at speed is never a good idea...
an overly exuberant launch from a stop light will get you a warning/ticket even if you didn't speed or do a wheelie in the process...
if your "friends" are doing something stupid and take off, the cops just might pull you over for no reason and yell at you because your friends were being jackasses and they knew they couldn't catch them if they tried... it's just best to agree with whatever they say at that point because you probably won't be cited if your papers are in order...
C&I for going between stopped cars on a 5 lane rd to go around a stopped semi that was blocking both lanes. The cop did not even see it happen, a twat in a mini van called 911 and reported that I was flying through stopped traffic. After I got past the semi I stopped at QT and there was already a cop sitting there, so he walked over asked if it was me. I said no and he called dispatch for a description of the bike and rider. It just so happened that the description matched me to a T. My next response was "Yea I'm the only guy in MO with a White MC, Red Jacket and blue jeans. So then he had the dispatch send the bitch over and she IDed me. I still denied it and he wrote a C&I ticket. So I paid a lawyer 200 to make it a equipment violation. Total cost about $425.00
The lesson I learned was not to stop so close to a spot that I just violated several traffic laws because some busy body twat may have called the cops!:deal
Not cited yet, but I hear LEO's don't like it when an ADV Rider stands up on the footpegs to stretch while moving.........???? Let's see a H-D Rider do THAT !!!!!!!!
I got strobes flashed at me for doing that and the cop waved his hand as to say (sit down)....which I did....no sense provoking them.

THE country's lone sugar miller has signed off on a deal with Tate & Lyle Sugars to sell a majority of locally-produced sweetener to the UK buyer.
Fiji Sugar Corporation executive chairman Abdul Khan said the deal struck with the UK buyer also allowed the FSC to look for and trade with alternative companies.
"We have signed off with Tate & Lyle but we are also in the process of developing other markets as well," Mr Khan said.
"Should other markets step up and offer a competitive price, then we do have an opportunity to sell to them."
The FSC is projecting a total crush of about two million tonnes of cane and the production of 210,000 to 215,000 tonnes of sugar this season.
The first sugar shipment of 30,000 tonnes to the UK is scheduled for this month.

We will await final government decision
Centre must respond to bias charge
NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday reiterated that its reading of the constitutional position was that Chief Election Commissioner N. Gopalaswami's recommendation of removal from office of Election Commissioner Navin Chawla was "binding" on the government.
Party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said the party would consider the options before it in the event of the government rejecting the recommendation. "We will await the final decision of the government before taking the next step," he said. He said the government should respond to the charge of political bias levelled at Mr. Chawla by the Chief Election Commissioner.
He said he did not favour an interpretation of the Constitution that the three Election Commissioners, including the CEC, could be removed only through a process of impeachment and the CEC did not have power or authority to suo motu make the kind of recommendation he did about a fellow Election Commissioner.
While holding the position – BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley articulated the party's position on Saturday and Mr. Prasad on Monday – that under the Constitution the CEC had the power to suo motu make such a recommendation, Mr. Prasad did not respond when asked why the BJP had first sent its petition against Mr. Chawla to the then President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in March 2006 and not to the CEC, if its reading of the Constitution was that the CEC was the sole authority to take a view on removal of an Election Commissioner. He only said that the party had subsequently approached the CEC in January 2008.Related Stories
