Hey Kids, Stop Drinking Monster -- You Could Ruin It for Adults
Headlines this past week have been screaming -- okay, raising their voices slightly -- once again about those dastardly energy drinks. Which you could be drinking right now as you read this, depending on the time of day and your occupation.
This time it's Monster Energy drinks, those 24-ounce jobs especially, that are getting parents agitated. According to WebMD, the FDA is now investigating five recent deaths and a heart attack that survivors say were brought on by drinking too much of Monster's highly caffeinated products.
Of course, the Monster squad says that their products are safe for consumption.
It's the level of consumption that seems to be the link in the deaths. Fourteen-year-old Maryland girl Anais Fournier died in December 2011 after she drank two Monsters in two days, collapsed and succumbed a week later. She also had a pre-existing heart condition, according to reports. She shouldn't have been drinking even a sip of Monster, let alone two full 24-ounce cans.

But teenagers aren't really good at the whole reasoning, personal preservation, common sense thing anyway. Fournier's tale is a sad one, but it didn't have to happen.
My own younger brother has a pulmonary condition that required open-heart surgery when he was an infant, and even 22 years later his doctors remind him that things like Monster can put him in a bad spot. I think the most he can imbibe in is strong iced tea.
Just about two years ago the country was in the grips of demon alcoholic energy drank Four Loko, and I chronicled an afternoon on the garbage for Hair Balls. Jesus, that was really only two years ago?
Monster doesn't have alcohol in it, but adding booze to it will mess you up pretty good, and younger hearts and systems could feel adverse effects from the combination, however fun it might feel to be destroyed on Taaka and blue acidic goo.
What's in a standard Monster? How about all the sugar, ginseng, taurine, L-carnitine, salt, guarana seed and B vitamins you can (not) handle? Makes that coffee in the office break room sound like mother's milk.
Monster on its own is pretty damned nasty, but the truth is, it helps a good portion of our population run. Some convenience stores have it in the fountains next to Pepsi and Mountain Dew even, and I have known people to drink one or two during a 9-5 shift out of sheer necessity.
A lot of people will blame the product and not the user -- AMURRRICAH -- and it wouldn't be too far off base to see Monster having to scale back the magic potion in its cans in the next year after heavy FDA scrutiny.
No doubt another product will take its place, or another existing energy drink will amp up its recipe to take advantage of the hole in the market. Monster has just been lucky enough to have been on top, er, under Red Bull, for this long.
Warning labels won't help because, well, don't we all remember how much a parental advisory sticker used to help album sales?
Kids, the working adults of America implore you, please refrain from drinking Monsters. They need it to keep the country going. You are too young to truly need the oomph and zoom that Monster gives the nation's commercial drivers, IT staff, security guards, roofers and emergency room nurses.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said in an interview published on Tuesday that it is "inexcusable" for Democratic voters to stand on the sidelines in November 2 congressional elections and urged them to shake off their lethargy.
Facing a bleak election outcome in congressional elections on November 2, Obama said Democrats who are not satisfied with what he has been able to accomplish so far need to realize that giving Republicans increased power could bring back economic policies he believes have been discredited.
"The idea that we've got a lack of enthusiasm in the Democratic base, that people are sitting on their hands complaining, is just irresponsible," Obama told Rolling Stone magazine (here). "We have to get folks off the sidelines. People need to shake off this lethargy, people need to buck up."
Obama and his Democrats face an angry electorate with the U.S. jobless rate at a stubbornly high 9.6 percent. Republicans are far more enthusiastic about voting on November 2 and believe they may be able to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives from Democrats and make gains in the Senate.
Democrats, on the other hand, are struggling to persuade their liberal base of supporters to get fired up. Many liberals do not believe Obama has gone far enough in pursuit of their agenda, complaining for example that the healthcare overhaul did not include a government-based insurance option.
Obama's decision to grant an interview of more than an hour to the hip magazine Rolling Stone reflected a bid to energize young voters who helped propel him to the presidency two years ago, an effort that includes a trip to college campuses this week.
Obama revealed that he has about 2,000 songs on his iPod, many of them the music of his youth, such as Stevie Wonder and Bob Dylan. Personal aide Reggie Love helped him update his music list with some rap performers.
"Thanks to Reggie, my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I've got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff," he said.
But much of the interview was about serious subjects and what seemed to be an effort to shore up support from the Democrats' liberal base.
Obama said he has a list to keep track of campaign promises he has fulfilled.
"I keep in my pocket a checklist of the promises I made during the campaign, and here I am, halfway through my first term, and we've probably accomplished 70 percent of the things that we said we were going to do," he said.
Obama defended his economic team against criticism from the left that the financial regulatory overhaul Democrats pushed through Congress was not tough enough on Wall Street.
"Is it going to solve every potential problem in Wall Street in a multi-trillion-dollar, worldwide, capital market? Probably not. There could end up being new schemes, new loopholes that folks are going to try to exploit," he said.
The president said he had been surprised by some complaints from Wall Street that he has been anti-business. He said Wall Street executives should have to pay their fair share of taxes like everyone else.
"I know a lot of these guys who started hedge funds. They are making large profits, taking home large incomes, but because of a rule called 'carried interest,' they are paying lower tax rates than their secretaries," he said.
Obama expressed suspicion about the funding of the conservative Tea Party movement, saying it is being bankrolled by "very conservative industries and forces that are opposed to enforcement of environmental laws."
And he said he believes the Fox News Channel expresses a point of view that, "I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle-class and is competitive in the world."

The other day, I was going on and on and on about somebody I know. I don't even know him too well, but he has a way of making everybody feel like they are old, close friends of his.
I was saying that he had the best, happiest energy I have ever witnessed and how it's too bad we can't bottle it.
I wished that we could clone him.
I complained that this world needs more people just like him.
Last night, as I battled my usual insomnia (it's become such a part of my life, I figure I really should just accept it), my thoughts returned to this ray of sunshine and I realized, "Well, why can't I be one of those people like him? Wouldn't that be doing my part?"
Maybe some people are more naturally rays of sunshine with happy energy that make everybody around them feel better.
And maybe the rest of all CAN be with just a little effort.
I'm willing to try...

Despite the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic's dated architecture, at least when compared to the latest Chevy Malibu, this 2008 Chevrolet Malibu performs well in safety tests.
The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic has been crash tested by the NHTSA and the IIHS, and both report impressive results for the Chevrolet 2008 Malibu Classic. In NHTSA tests, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic earned a perfect five-star rating for front impact protection, as well as four of a possible five stars in the rollover category. For 2008, Chevrolet's Malibu Classic also earned high marks from the IIHS, which awarded the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic the highest possible rating, "good," in the Institute's frontal offset impact test. This Chevrolet 2008 Malibu also earned a "good" rating in the IIHS's side impact test.
In addition to above-average crash-test results, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic comes with most of the modern safety features that consumers have come to expect, according to reviews read by TheCarConnection.com. Reviewers at AOL Autos report that "standard safety features include front and side-curtain airbags," while Edmunds notes that, for 2008, Chevrolet has added "standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes" to the Malibu Classic. Edmunds adds that the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic includes standard "traction control," though they are disappointed to find "stability control is not available."
One of the other noteworthy safety characteristics on the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic is that it affords very good overall driver visibility. ConsumerGuide is most vocal in its praise, reporting that "outward vision is good" on this Chevrolet 2008 Malibu Classic, "enhanced by large door mirrors."

NFL Betting: Week 4 Tips
Sure thing: Jacksonville v Cincinnati (-1.0) at 1.80.
It's always risky to pick a road team as a lock, and it's always risky to pick the Bengals for anything, but the more I look at this match-up, the more I think Cincy would have to really try hard to mess it up. They have weapons, their defence is able to put pressure on a quarterback (Blaine Gabbert) who doesn't react well to it, and they do have playmakers in the secondary who aren't going to be intimidated by the Jags' receivers. The best bet might be on whether Benjarvus Green-Ellis (aka Law Firm), who had never fumbled in his NFL career until last week, might fumble again. I'd bet against it, but maybe that's the effect becoming a Bengal has on people. Recall what the journey in the opposite direction did for Corey Dillon.
Underdog: Atlanta v Carolina (+7.0) at 1.88.
Last year the Falcons handled Carolina and Cam Newton pretty well, and while it's optimistic to expert Newton to have another stinker like he did against the Giants, the Falcons' D has been much improved this season. They've shown the ability to shut down decent offensive teams on the road. At home, in the Bubbadome, they should be able to keep Cam under control. Their own offence, which has placed more responsibility on Matt Ryan's shoulders to lead from the front, has been better too. As the Ravens have discovered with Joe Flacco, sometimes letting the quarterback make the play decisions at the line of scrimmage helps him focus, not only on what he's supposed to be doing, but what he will see from the defence. So far it's worked for the Falcons and it ought to work again this week. I hesitate only because the Panthers have the ability to keep it close.
Value bet: New York Jets v San Francisco (-4.0) at 1.95.
On paper, you'd think the Jest were just the sort of team that can beat the Niners, especially at home. Control the ball with the run game, pass effectively, play good D that keeps SF in check, and then blitz them to distraction once you have a lead. But the Jets run game has been plodding, Mark Sanchez struggles to get a deep pass game working, and their D hasn't dominated the way you'd expect. They are also now is without their best defensive player, Darrelle Revis, whose ability to lock out another team's receiver means the Jets are able to commit more rushers. Without him, they have to think about providing help. The Niners want to play that same kind of game, even when they're behind, which is their weakness. But they have the targets to stretch the field, they have depth in running, and their D isn't likely to allow the Jets too much running room. They won't win by much, but they ought to cover four.
One to avoid: Denver v Oakland.
I actually think Denver will cover the spread on this one; they're at home, their passing game came back to life in the second half, and Oakland's defence is vulnerable. But Denver's defense isn't much better, especially inside, and that could be where the Raiders manage to keep it tight. Of course they're more likely to run out of gas, which is one of those things to keep in mind whenever you see the John Elway 4th quarter comeback statistics reeled out at you. So if you insist on taking Denver, be my guest, but avoid the Packers giving 9 to the Saints, OK?

Also in The Washington Post:
It might be the biggest controversy in rich-people Washington in years: Wayne Reynolds thinks he has a plan to save the Corcoran, but gallery folks aren't interested. So now he's waging a brash public relations campaign to get himself a seat on its board — specifically, as chairman, reports our colleague David Montgomery. Corcoran officials are outraged, calling it a "reckless" move; another museum chief likens it to a hostile corporate takeover. But as Reynolds prepares to spent $10,000 on a party to get the word out, at least some members of the Corcoran community are intrigued. (See also Montgomery's 2002 story about how Reynolds and his wife Catherine first made a splash in Washington with their million-dollar gifts.)

The Only Real Happiness
It is a strange thing to think that so many people seek happiness, and a sense of self worth, but so few seek to live a life worth being happy about.
If all you care about is the feeling of happiness, you can try to get that by ignoring everything that doesn't immediately please you.
But then, of course, if you live like that you'll find that your life gets very small, and rapidly, very unhappy. The things you try to push away will, eventually, push back.
If instead you seek to live a life worth being happy about, then you don't need to close your eyes to reality in order to feel like what you do matters, because it does.
If you seek happiness, and have no interest in the truth, you are not 'taking a short cut'. You are not 'outwitting the game'. You're hamstringing yourself, and at best, will only ever find a sham of happiness.
If you seek the truth, the path can be hard - hard like you've never read about. But the happiness to be found there is the only one worth having, because it's the only real one.

Australia have added 97 runs to their overnight score in the third Ashes Test, setting England a target of 121 to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Peter Nevill started day three on 37, needing to do the bulk of the work if the tourists were to somehow make a game of it at Edgbaston.
Nevill extended his stubborn knock for a further 45 minutes, pushing Australia to a total of 7-217 before he fell for 59.
Mitchell Starc continued to fight – bringing up his half-century and pushing the visitors' lead past 100 with a six off Moeen Ali.
Starc went down swinging for 58, Ali snaring the final wicket as Australia were bowled out for 265 late in Friday's morning session.
The wagging tail could be interpreted as a portent of how England might struggle in the fourth Test without Jimmy Anderson and/or another damning indictment of Australia's batsmen.
"It just shows you how badly they played in the first two days," Shane Warne said on Sky Sports.
"They didn't bat time and let the pitch dry out. It would have been a good Test match."
Recalled paceman Steve Finn snared the scalp of Nevill to finish with career-best figures of 6-79 in the second dig, but his teammates failed to regularly threaten.
Nevill, given a life late on day two by counterpart Jos Buttler who dropped a leg-side catch, continued to frustrate the hosts.
The edges flew early in Nevill's maiden Test half-century, although Stuart Broad was certain he had the breakthrough in the day's fifth over.
Broad didn't bother turning to appeal when Buttler snaffled a one-handed catch down the leg side.
Umpire Chris Gaffaney felt the ball came off something other than glove.
Hotspot confirmed the second-gamer should have been out, but England had wasted their two reviews on day two.
Broad pouted, much like in his previous over when an Ali misfield cost the side a boundary, but Finn struck soon after.
This time, Nevill unsuccessfully reviewed a leg-side catch from Buttler, out of optimism more than anything else.
Nevill and Starc had helped themselves to 39 runs off the first six overs of the day, Alastair Cook leaving only two slips in place after half an hour.
Part-timer Joe Root was given an over before Cook threw the ball to Ben Stokes.
Flame-haired allrounder Stokes recorded a wicket maiden in his first over on Friday, with Root grabbing a remarkable catch at third slip to dismiss Josh Hazlewood for 11.
Nathan Lyon would have been out in the same over if Cook had a review left, with a confident lbw shout turned down by Aleem Dar.
Lyon finished 12 not out, meaning the bottom five in the order contributed almost 60 per cent of the runs in the second dig.

And, sadly, it came to pass. It is well predicted that most countries blessed with natural resources, even in the best of times, perform worse economically than countries not so endowed; and that, when times are tough, countries that are dependent on natural resources come to an assured grief. There is a popular name for this strange but common condition: resource curse. It sounds metaphysical, it seems counter-intuitive even, but it is a position supported by enough evidence. And there can't be better evidence than this: a Nigeria that is in the choke-hold of economic recession right after fifteen years of consistently high oil prices and over N70 trillion of oil revenues earned by the federation.
A recession might be a dramatic inflection point, but the brutal fact is that our country has never really been in sound economic health. A long spell of rising oil prices in much of our over four-decade addiction to oil had put us on a permanent high, masked the hollowness of our economic well-being, blind-sighted us to the dangers dancing in plain sight, and induced a costly work-avoidance in our leaders. Now that we are at this terrible pass, it will be tempting to just focus all our energy at getting growth back to positive zone. Without a doubt, getting out of recession should be the first order business. But doing only that will show us up, again, as a people eternally incapable of learning. This should be the time to finally wean ourselves of the unhealthy dependence on crude oil for most of our exports and government revenues; a time to reset the foundations of our economy and even of our politics; a time to get a permanent cure for what deeply ails us.
Clearly, natural resources do not come embedded with supernatural curses, as the positive experiences of Norway, UAE, Malaysia and Botswana have shown. But it is also clear how natural resources end up as blights, and not blessings, just as it is clear what to do to reverse the curse. So the problem is not lack of knowledge. The problem is that resource-endowed countries either do not do enough to prevent the sad prophecy from fulfilling itself or do not do enough to 'cure the curse' after it has manifested. And these countries fail to take both preventive and curative measures because countries blessed with natural resources are prone to certain risks and disposed to certain choices that create delusions, dependencies and distortions, which inexorably turn natural resources to impeders, rather than enablers, of development.
One known risk is that the prices of natural resources fluctuate. This creates revenue instability for countries that depend on resource rents to fund their budgets. Since this is known, the sensible thing would be for such countries to save enough when the prices are up as insurance against when the prices are down, and to use the windfall to create other more stable streams of income and to invest in the productive capacities of their people. But most resource-dependent countries rarely do that, as a surge of easy money induces the delusion of everlasting riches. Such countries get unreasonably high when prices of their natural resources are high and set themselves up for an inevitable fall when prices inevitably tumble.
Three episodes in four decades of our history provide good illustration. In 1972, a barrel of crude oil sold for a yearly average of $1.82. By 1974, oil price leapt to $11 per barrel, then to $29.19 in 1979, and then to $35.52 in 1980. But by the time the price of oil marginally dropped to $29.04 in 1983, our economy was already in trouble. It is important to look at the figures again: we were not in trouble when oil was $1.82 in 1972, but we were in a deep mess eleven years later when oil was $29.04.
A second episode: at the outset of democracy in 1999, oil sold for less than $20 per barrel (in actual fact, our Brent sold for a monthly average of $15.23 in May 1999) . In the 15 years between 1999 and 2014, oil prices rose steadily (except for 2008/2009), soaring to almost $150 per barrel at a point. However, by the time oil prices fell just below $100 in September 2014, we were on the way to distress district, close to the dark place we were just thirty years earlier. It is important to underscore this again: when oil was selling for $20 per barrel we got by but when it started selling for a little below $100, it was another season for weeping and gnashing of teeth, with most states and even the federal government struggling to pay salaries. What happened with the two episodes is that we got deluded into thinking high prices would last forever, we stretched public finances to breaking point, and we saved little for the rainy day.
But there is a third episode: oil prices tumbled from a high of $147 in June 2008 to $38 in December 2008. Yes, the dip was short. But we survived that slump largely because we had reserves in excess of $60 billion, which tied us over that bust time. Interestingly, the savings were largely accumulated at a period when oil never rose above $70 per barrel, when our oil supply was constrained on account of militancy in the Niger Delta and when $12 billion was paid to get debt forgiveness. But crude oil per barrel sold for an average of $77.38 in 2010, $107.46 in 2011, $109.45 in 2012, and $105.87 in 2013. However, by the time oil prices slipped to yearly average of $96.29 in 2014 and $49.49 in 2015, we did not have the kind of cover we had six years earlier not just because we didn't save enough but also because we had also over exposed ourselves, as will be illustrated shortly. If the time between the first and the third episodes is long enough to induce amnesia, the space between 2008 and the onset of the current slide in oil prices is short enough to remind us of the risk we are constantly exposed to. But we failed to learn.
Another known risk that turns natural resources to curses is that resource-rich countries are prone to corruption, low levels of accountability, and high incidence of profligacy. Because of the nature of resource rents, it is easier for those in authority in extractive economies (as opposed to tax economies) to corner and capture public resources and expend them anyhow. Beyond the predisposition to graft and the wastefulness, resource rents concentrate and consolidate public resources in a few hands, nurture a ruling elite more interested in private gains than the common good, foster a rentier, patronage, and predatory political ethos, fuel intense competition for power, conflicts, poverty and inequality, inverse the relations between citizens (the principals) and those in authority (the agents), and distort the interaction between state and society. All these conduce to opaque and unaccountable management of the revenues from natural resources. Even before the ongoing revelations and probes, reports by the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) had provided more than ample evidence of the mind-boggling mismanagement of Nigeria's main source of revenue.
The other well known risk that resource-rich countries are exposed to is a dependency condition called the Dutch Disease. It manifests this way: massive inflows of foreign exchange on account of the high price of a natural resource raise the comparative value of the local currency and turn the economy into a high-cost one. This means that other sectors, like manufacturing and services, that the country can earn foreign exchange from become uncompetitive and are crowded out; and imports also become cheaper, eventually knocking off local industry. A double but dangerous dependency is thus created: the country depends solely on the natural resource for foreign exchange; and depends on imports for almost all its needs. While consistently high prices will mask the trouble, onset of low prices will burst the bubble. This is where, sadly, Nigeria has found itself today. The 1,851% increase in the price of oil between 1972 and 1980 infected us with the Dutch Disease, so much so that we depend on crude oil for 85% of government revenues and about 95% of exports. And we import almost everything, including, shamefully, refined petroleum products (which constitute about 40% of forex demands.)
This composite picture should show why Nigeria is in trouble today: little savings from a long boom time, and a 75% plunge in the price of a product that accounts for more than 80% of government revenues and foreign exchange in a country where so much revolves around government and in an import-dependent economy; fall in monthly forex earnings from $3.2 billion to about $400m sometime this year; decline in oil production from 2.2 million bpd to a little over 1 million bpd; and the growth in monthly import bill from N148.3 billion in 2005 to N917.6 billion in 2015 (519% increase). While it can be validly argued that recession could still have been averted, the oil and dollar dependence created a downward spiral: fall in the value of the Naira, cost-push inflation (since most things including industrial inputs are imported), drop in disposable incomes, which is compounded by the fact that most states are owing salaries, and the resultant negative impact on demand and ultimately on production. True, oil and gas sector now accounts for only 9% of our GDP, but our unhealthy dependence on it for government revenues and foreign exchange imbues the sector with a disproportionate heft. This we need to fix in a systematic and sustainable way.
We can easily spend our way out of this recession or bump up production in high growth areas. Oil prices and production may even rise again, making the get-out-of-recession task easier. But all these will not cure us of the oil curse. Hopefully, the present pain will permanently bury doubts about the need for a robust stabilization fund and the imperative of strengthening transparency and accountability mechanisms like NEITI. But we also need to permanently puncture the lie that we are a rich country just because we have oil. It is a trite fact that the wealth of nations is not buried under the soil. Countries become rich when their people and their companies produce value-adding, highly-sought, cutting-edge goods and services. But beyond fixing the defective structure of our economy, we also need to reinvent our politics. A governance model that is defined by extraction, sharing and consumption surely cannot lead to development. And by the way, development doesn't happen: it is created. Rahm's Rule should thus be our article of faith: "you never want to let a serious crisis to go to waste." The crisis of this recession has thrown a massive opportunity our way, the opportunity for a total reset. It will be a shame if, again, we fail to seize this chance to heal our country.
By Waziri Adio
By December this year, the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) would have clocked sixteen years and eight months in the making, and more than eight and half years since it was first presented to the National Assembly. That would have been two hundred months of several committees constituted for the purpose, of countless stakeholder consultations and engagements, of endless back and forth between the executive and the legislature.
By then, according to a Policy Brief recently published by the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), the PIB would have gone through four presidents, five presidential terms and five legislative tenures - without resulting in an overarching petroleum industry law.
Given the importance of the petroleum sector to Nigeria's economy and the enormity of the problems that has plagued the country's oil and gas industry over the years, there can be no justifiable excuse for the embarrassing impasse on the PIB. Add to these the fact that Nigeria's oil industry does not exist in isolation but operates in a global environment that is constantly shifting in favour of countries with the most competitive instruments, it becomes obvious that the country has continued to wallow in the kind of luxury that it can ill afford, especially at a time like this.
The global market is changing rapidly, exacerbating old threats and creating new ones. The world's largest consumers have become top producers and top importers have begun to export.
But the new threats do not however lie only in far away Alaska or the South China Sea. They are also showing up on our very door step. Two months ago, Ghana passed its Petroleum Production and Exploration law. According to Ghana's energy minister, "the new law would create an attractive environment for potential investors by providing certainty and transparency in the ground rules for operations".
If the pool of investment dollars was limitless, such development would hardly merit a glance. But it is not. According the NEITI Policy Brief (titled The Urgency of a New Petroleum Sector Law), international oil companies are increasingly channeling investment funds to "other viable oil and gas projects across Africa including Ghana Senegal, Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania etc."
The sad tale around the PIB rigmarole is not just the sixteen years that it has languished in limbo. The real story is that every additional year of waffling on the bill compounds the losses and worsens the problems of the sector and Nigeria's economy. NEITI estimates that more than $200 billion has been lost in planned investment and projected returns on investment in the last eight years of delay on the PIB, as well as thousands of jobs. These figures appear very conservative. Other estimates, including a recent study conducted by the Natural Resource Charter, a policy think tank, put the losses at more than twice the figure.
Whatever the numbers, there is no question that Nigeria's current economic problems would have been avoided if the opportunities were taken in the relevant sectors of the economy, including (and especially) the oil and gas sector. Most estimates of loss of investment due to the delay in enacting a petroleum industry law relate to the upstream sector. But the volume of domestic economic activity lies in the downstream and midstream subsectors. According to OPEC data quoted by NEITI, Nigeria has the least contribution of oil to total GDP ratio among OPEC member countries. This corresponds with data on the country's refining activity as a ratio of total crude production. Only 3% of Nigeria's oil is refined domestically.
Appropriate legislation to incentivise midstream and downstream investment would have reversed this massive imbalance. The fact that legislation did not happen has produced huge consequences. In five years alone (2011 – 2015), Nigeria spent more than $26 billion importing refined products. The double effect of lost domestic production and acute import dependency forms a significant part of the explanation for the country's current economic troubles.
Swift action on the PIB would undoubtedly catalyse Nigeria's recovery. Continuing to delay the passage of the PIB not only robs the country of this important opportunity, it would ensure that the bleeding continues.
The comparative swiftness with which Ghana produced its petroleum industry legislation should serve as both reminder and a warning. In less than two years after the bill was presented to the Ghanaian parliament, it was signed into law. Ghana became an oil producing nation in 2010, one whole decade after Nigeria initiated the process that produced the PIB. Ghana may be a relatively less complicated case, but a petroleum industry law is not the genome project. It is simply a political process. Politics is supposed to be about negotiation and consensus, not about endless stalemate.
Nigeria's weakening global competiveness and the current recession should provoke a sense of urgency and rouse the political actors to action. So far, it has not.
The lack of progress on the PIB has been attributed largely to differences over issues like the host community benefits, the powers of the minister, the fiscal provisions etc. But the fact that these disagreements have been allowed to weigh down the PIB is because there has been lack of political leadership to moderate these differences and to drive the bill from conception through legislation. Due to the absence of political leadership, the different political actors have engaged in a manifestly unproductive contest over control of the process. Rather than focus on the core objective of petroleum industry reforms, the actors have resorted to endless political gamesmanship to secure the greatest advantage for their respective constituencies.
These were never the objectives of petroleum industry reforms. In the end both the nation and its constituent parts have suffered the consequence of stalemate. The zero-sum approach has yielded no winners.
Current attempts to revive the PIB do not look promising. For one it is not clear who is leading the process, or even that the executive and legislature are working in concert, with several bills being mentioned. It is hard to see how this enhances the chance of success.
Fortunately, everyone agrees that the petroleum sector in is desperate need of reforms, and that the PIB is a crucial piece of legislation. But, experience has shown that this is not sufficient. A more important consensus at this point would be to agree on what should be done differently this time. According to the NEITI policy brief, all actors first need to remember that corruption, lack of transparency and accountability and general poor governance of the sector were the main reasons for reforms in the first place. Secondly, precious time is being needlessly expended on starting the process from the scratch every time a new regime decides to revive the process.
But most importantly, the president should take charge of the process, not just because his position confers on him the responsibility to do so, but because his political mandate, secured on the platform of transparency and accountability, stands him in good stead to rally stakeholders around the core objectives of the PIB. There can be little contention in this regard.
NEITI proposes a formal instrument for facilitating this consensus. The publication also called for a clear roadmap and a communication strategy.
But the strategy is not the only thing that needs to change. The process has to be conducted with greater haste. The costs are mounting, and the the impact increasingly more severe.
Price volatility in the oil market is an ever present reality. But this up-and-down swing need not always translate into a boom and bust cycle for the economy. A petroleum industry law, complemented with relevant reforms in the management of oil revenue, can and will help ensure that it does not.
And the law does not need to be perfect, or a panacea. It just needs to be passed, and with the urgency that it demands.

Jalapeno Chutney (Famous Dave's Sweet Soul Jalapeno Copycat)
Recipe by Andi the grate
I have moved a few hundred miles away from the nearest 'Famous Dave's BBQ'. At the persistance of my boyfriend, I had to come up with something similar to their ' Sweet Soul Jalapeño dipping sauce'. Here's what I came up with. Seeing as though all I had to go on was memory, I don't know if it's really close or not. Nor will I be able to taste some of the real stuff any time soon for comparison... but this is gooooood. Please feel free to z-mail me with any suggestions on how to make it more accurate.
Top Review by olensbro
I live near a famous daves and went there just for that sauce, but the quit having it. the only real discrepancy. I saw with this recipe was I think it's. missing fresh ginger. I also doubled the spices and omitted the sugar. may be better than famous daves

Heinrich Boll
Destiny (Expression) Number 5
Heinrich Boll was a male celebrity.
He was born on Friday December 21st 1917, in Koln, Germany,.
Heinrich Boll is a free spirit. He loves change, adventure, and excitement. Heinrich loves his freedom. Like a bird that needs its wings to live, Boll cannot exist without it. Freedom is the nucleus around which Heinrich Boll's life revolves. He needs it for his very survival. By using freedom properly, Heinrich is able to explore and develop all of his varied talents. He will meet many types of people and travel great distances. Freedom is the atmosphere necessary for Boll to bring forth his many talents.
Heinrich Boll is capable of doing almost anything, and probably quite well. Only by avoiding the imprisonment of illusory security is he able to bring forth his abilities.
He is unusually adaptable. In fact, change is a blessing for Heinrich. In the same way, Boll needs challenge and variety. He hates the routine of life; being stuck is a catastrophe for him. Heinrich Boll becomes miserable when he is held back or held down.
The taste and texture and color of life have an overpowering allure for him. From childhood, Heinrich Boll dreams of seeing foreign lands, experiencing the sensual and the exotic. He wants to try everything at least once in life. All of life is a playground for his senses.
But this can get Heinrich into trouble. He may fail to respect his natural limits, either biologically or socially. Any sort of boundary is anathema to Boll, which can blind him to his natural limits, and may cause him to overindulge his desire for food, sweets, alcohol, sex, and drugs.
Heinrich Boll is gifted in his ability to communicate. Heinrich's facility with words is almost limitless. He can be a salesman, politician, lawyer, public relations person, and minister. Boll also possesses the talent to share and advance new ideas. He is talented with his hands. Heinrich Boll loves the new and untried. His field is the frontier. Boll is a bit of a gambler, and often plays for very high stakes. All of this combines to give Heinrich Boll a youthful enthusiasm, which others find infectious and attractive.
Heinrich likes to work with others, but needs to perform his task un-encumbered by the restraints of others.
He is a clever and a quick thinker, but his thought processes - like his life in general - can be unorganized and scattered. Heinrich Boll must stay grounded and focused if he wants to be successful.
Boll falls in and out of love frequently, especially early in life. He is naturally sensual and commonly have a strong sex drive. These characteristics usually make for a lively and exciting love life, but Heinrich Boll must guard against shallow feelings and relationships. His challenge is to develop mature and lasting relationships.
Self-discipline and setting healthy limits is the key to Heinrich Boll's success in virtually every area of his life. Ironically, Heinrich will find that as he learns to set appropriate limits on himself, he will develop more self-mastery and realize even greater freedom.
This is especially true when it comes to finishing what he starts. Boll's tendency is to give up once he has got a project or job under control; he grows bored quickly. Heinrich Boll starts to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of his great accomplishment, long before the work is finished.
The 5 Destiny desires the whole world. Heinrich is aware that he has many talents that can bring much success. But that success depends on Heinrich Boll's willingness to choose certain areas to concentrate on, and to bring them to perfection.
You and Heinrich
About Heinrich's Destiny (Expression) number
The Destiny number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings that were with Heinrich Boll when he entered his human body. His name, and the numbers derived from it, reveals Heinrich's development, as well as the talents and issues he will be working with during this life.

59 - 80 Final
No. 24 Louisville routs ConnecticutFeb 7, 2012 - 4:43 AM Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Chris Smith scored 16 points and Gorgui Dieng added 15 to lead No. 24 Louisville to a thorough 80-59 throttling of Connecticut.
Kyle Kuric chipped in 10 points and nine rebounds, while Chane Behanan grabbed 12 boards to go with seven points for the Cardinals (19-5, 7-4 Big East), winners of five straight.
Louisville made 11 three-pointers, while the Huskies (15-8, 5-6) shot just 3- of-14 from behind the arc in their fifth loss in six games.
Ryan Boatright paced Connecticut with 18 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals. Leading scorer Jeremy Lamb was held to seven points, 11 below his season average.
Lamb was held scoreless in the first half, and Connecticut trailed 29-24 at the break.
Louisville extended its lead with a 9-1 run to start the second half, capped by Dieng's reverse slam 2 1/2 minutes in.
"I thought we were in good shape at the end of the half," said UConn interim head coach George Blaney, who for the second straight game was filling in for Jim Calhoun. "All we needed to do was come out in the second half and do the same thing. I thought we just let it get away from us."
The Cardinals held a 44-32 edge midway through and broke it open with a 16-2 run that Kuric highlighted with a tomahawk dunk in transition.
Dieng's slam off a steal in the backcourt ended the surge for a 26-point cushion, and Louisville coasted over the final seven minutes.
"That's about as good of a display that I've seen in quite some time," Louisville head coach Rick Pitino said. "This was a very good confidence builder."
Game Notes
Louisville improved to 15-2 at KFC Yum! Center...Smith hit 4-of-6 from three- point range...Dieng also had six steals...Shabazz Napier, who came in averaging 13.3 points per game, shot 3-of-11 and had nine points for the Huskies.

Mayhem # 2434535
About MePhotography took my life by surprise, in my mind all i wanted was a new camera but that developed into something more. All my other hobbies began to gradually fade away as photography consumed my time. I hardly find time to do anything else, my mind is not at rest unless i have tonnes of pictures to edit or a photo shoot approaching.
I like to have fun at shoots, cutback on the formalities, give the models their space to feel comfortable and be themselves, because a real smile is always better than a fake one. I like to experiment with different things always willing to let the model plan out a few shots or just be wild and have fun.
I'm here to have fun,take crazy pictures and meet new people...

Spitzbuben (Swiss Jam Cookies)
Recipe by emmyport
Delicious Swiss jam cookies our family makes for Christmas. My father is from Switzerland, so I grew up with these yummy cookies. I apologize if the time and yield are slightly off; I generally make 2-4 batches at a time, so it takes an entire evening!
Top Review by Sydney Mike
I'm made many different kinds of cookies in my time, but I'm sure this was a new experience for me, AND a very enjoyable one, at that! I was so pleased with myself that I was tempted to keep them all here for the 2 of us, but broke down & sent 2/3 of them off with my other half to share at one of my weekly meetings! I did have a small problem with the jam, since I usually think of it as 'chunky,' but with a little processing, I managed to have a strawberry jam that worked for me! Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe ~ Your cookies are a real delight! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]

Jordan Retro 4
February 18, 2012 by staff
Jordan Retro 4, Release Reminder: Air Jordan IV "White Cement"
Today is Michael Jordan's 49th birthday. Wow… It's pretty hard to imagine MJ is almost 50. The only thing I ever related 50 to with Jordan was points scored and maybe a 50 inch vertical leap.
Nonetheless, MJ is getting up there and what better way to celebrate his birthday than with a great Jordan Brand purchase. Tomorrow marks the release of one of the most popular models in the Air Jordan IV "White Cement".
Originally released in 1989 and designed by the incomparable Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan IV is an iconic shoe. It was the first Jordan shoe available on a global scale and catapulted JB to international success.
This 2012 retro does slightly differ from the OG version but is still a remarkable shoe. And tomorrow Feb 18th, sneakerheads will flock to online stores and brick and mortars alike to add a pair to their collection. Priced at $160 USD the "White Cement" will sell fast so make sure you are prepared to cop this history shoe in the AM.

There have always been people with adventuresome souls who sold their homes when they retired, bought RVs and spent their retirement years traveling into the wild blue yonder. Some simply had wanderlust and wanted to spend their golden years taking the ultimate, never-ending vacation. Others were among the original snowbirds, migrating north to south and back again with the birds. They'd spend the cold, snowy winters parked near the sunny beaches of Florida's Gulf Coast or among the golf course-strewn deserts of the Southwest, then head north to reconnect with family and friends in time to enjoy the first flowers of spring. When the leaves started to fall, they'd pack up and flock back to southern climes.
Today, we call people who have given up their landlocked residences in favor or full-time RV living "full-timers." Many RV enthusiasts still become full-timers because they want to travel the country or enjoy camping, but the poor economy has swelled the ranks with people looking for affordable housing options. People who have lost their homes to foreclosure, unemployment or natural disaster have found comfort in full-time RV living. Not only can great deals on used RVs be found online, but campground prices and lot rental rates can be downright cheap.
Seasonal workers who serve the tourist trade, seniors who staff national park concessions and gift shops, construction tradesmen who move from one boom area to the next, workers who rebuild areas devastated by natural disasters, and agricultural workers have long embraced full-time RVing. Taking a page from their textbook, unemployed workers are discovering the versatility and comfort of making a RV their primary residence. On average, RV living is cheaper than renting an apartment and doesn't obligate you to a long-term lease. When the work dries up, it's easy to pack up the family and travel to where the jobs are. Full-time RVing allows you to keep your family together, enjoy the friendly camaraderie of other RVers, and turn potential disaster into an adventure. Many people who embrace full-time RVing never look back!

Motorists asked to drive with caution, watch for Habitat bikers
DETROIT LAKES -- Motorists traveling on area roads are asked to slow down and watch for bicyclists participating in a Habitat for Humanity fundraiser for families in Manitoba, Canada.
Cycle of Hope volunteers left Louisville, Ky., on June 28 for a two-week journey to celebrate the 20th Annual Cycle of Hope's 1,000 Miles Home Challenge.
Bicyclists will travel into west central Minnesota today as they travel from Willmar to Garfield on local city streets, as well as county and state highways. On Friday, they will depart Garfield and bike to Detroit Lakes.
Since 1993, the Cycle of Hope riders journey 1,000 miles and raise enough money to enable Habitat for Humanity Manitoba to build a new affordable home for a family in need. The Cycle of Hope has raised more than $2.5 million for Habitat for Humanity Manitoba since its inception and looks forward to the annual challenge each year with new and returning cyclists.
For more information, please contact Elaine Smith at 204-295-0263.

SKU: 710779333420 Brand: Labrada Category: Energizers Purpose: Marketers of fat-loss products talk a lot about artificially stimulating your metabolism (your calorie-burning rate.) But in the war on fat, its far more important to curb overeating. Unfortunately, your tendency to overeat is programmed into your DNA your genes. Its been that way for hundreds of thousands of years. Help comes in the form of Ephedra-free Charge!®ASF. Its unique fusion of plant-derived molecules enable you to curb senseless overeating so you dont feel restricted. To boot, Charge!® ASF helps you maintain your fire in the gym, whether youre running on the treadmill or clanging plates at the squat rack. Youll Be Shocked to Learn This! Stimulants like ephedrine prompt your body to artificially increase its metabolic rate without there being a real physiological need to do so. Its a dead end as far as noticeable fat loss goes. And in some people its caused nasty side effects like anxiety, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and the jitters. The irony is that most stimulants only increase metabolism by a very small amount compared to the big increase in metabolic rate you get from working out. To Get Leaner, You MUST Curb Overeating! In fact, it only takes a few extra bites of food just a little bit of overindulgence-- to completely override any metabolism-elevating effect achieved by artificial means such as when you use an ephedra-based product. The secret to getting the body you really want is to suppress your appetite for calories you dont need in a way that doesnt leave you feeling restricted or low in energy. You need to be able to fly through your workouts with power and enthusiasm! Charge!® ASF Works with Any Diet to Help You Get Ripped! The Labrada Nutrition R&D Team formulated Charge!® ASF to give you the appetite suppression, energy boost, and fat-burning control you need, no matter what kind of diet youre on. But Charge!® ASF is especially effective when used with high-protein, moderate-carbohydrate diets. When you eat fewer carbs, you burn more fat. Fantastic, right? Yes, however, this fat-burning fire frequently sets your appetite ablaze. Meanwhile, your energy levels tank. Carbs or No Carbs, Calorie Control is Critical! On the other hand, when you eat a low-fat diet, you often crave the taste of fatty foods! The bottom line is that carbs or no carbs, you must take charge your appetite and keep your fat-burning metabolism screaming! Lose control of your appetite, or allow your fat-burning metabolism to weaken, and youll end up getting softer rather than harder, fatter rather than leaner. The Fat Loss Accelerating Fusion of Charge!® ASF In developing Charge!® ASF, The Labrada R&D team assemble a formula of plant-derived molecules with complementary features: catechins from Green Tea Leaf, methylxanthines from Guarana, biogenic amines from Bitter Orange, and more. Its a case of 1+1+1 = 6. The Green Tea catechins act synergistically with methylxanthines in the Guarana and synephrine in the Bitter Orange to give you a metabolic advantage they cant provide on their own. Yet Charge!® ASF is still jitter-free. No irritability, no anxiety, no cold sweats. NO EPHEDRA. Charge!® ASF: The Highest Concentration of EGCG Available!One of the most important catechins in green tea leaf is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Labrada picked Charge!® ASFs green tea leaf extract to give you the highest EGCG concentration available! Plus, Charge!® ASF has 50% more synephrine (from Bitter Orange) than the leading ephedra-free fat-burning formula. Charge!® ASF: Feel the Charge! Finally, the R&D Team formulate Charge!® ASFs proprietary Thermoblend with L-tyrosine to help you re-stock fat-mobilizing neurotransmitters in your brain (e.g.,norepinephrine) as soon as theyre released by the synergistic combination of Green Tea, Guarana and Bitter Orange. With all this extra EGCG, synephrine and neurotransmitter-replenishing power, you can expect: 1. Enhanced mental drive and energy (awesome workouts!) 2. Faster fat-burning rate (accelerated fat loss!) 3. Control overeating (without feeling restricted!) Re-Charge your Energy Levels, Curb Overeating, Burn More Fat: Take Charge!® ASF!! Whos in control of your physical appearance? You or your appetite? Prevent your energy levels from tanking. Avoid overeating. Lose body fat ---much faster than you are now. Invest in the transparent red bottle of Charge!® ASF today! It only takes two capsules to begin your transformation.
Theres no way around it. If you overeat, youll never arrive at your destination of a camera-ready physique -a body of shapely curves or concrete muscle. But controlling your appetite can be really tough. As you eat less and become leaner, your appetite frequently grows in ferocity and your energy levels take a nosedive. Its enough to make you want to go back to the kitchen table and forget the whole thing. It takes a much bigger kick in the pants to get you fired up and ready for the gym or for your day!

Russo and Steele Moves to Different Site for Scottsdale 2011
After last year's violent weather during the annual Scottsdale classic car auctions; Russo and Steele, which suffered the most extensive damage, is not taking any chances when it puts on its 11th annual event next January.
As a result, Russo and Steele has decided to move the site of its auction to North Scottsdale at the intersection of Freeway Loop 101 and Hayden Road. The new location was chosen primarily because it offers much better protection from the elements as well as improved drainage. For the 2011 auction, slated to take place on January 9-23 2011; Russo and Steele will also incorporate a Losberger structure – a German manufactured clear span 'aluminum' hall; designed to provide greater protection than a traditional tent as well as an 'all-encompassing environment' for the auction.
In a recent press statement, Drew Alcazar, CEO of Russo and Steele, thanked the Arizona State Land Department and the City of Scottsdale for their assistance in helping find a new venue. "Countless hours were invested, looking at every conceivable option to improve and ensure the long-standing quality event we have invested so many years to build," he said. Now, with the new venue confirmed, Alcazar went on to declare, "Russo and Steele is ready to put the pedal to the metal, as we make the strongest statement in our 11-plus-year history. Russo and Steele is back, better than ever."
