Similar to the backward integration programme that ended the importation of cement into the country, bulk importers of raw sugar were given a target to end the importation of this very essential commodity used by the food, beverages and pharmaceutical industries by 2020. In the first part of a series of in-depth investigations by THISDAY on the federal government's import substitution strategy aimed at reducing Nigeria's over-reliance on imported goods, conserving foreign exchange and job creation, Crusoe Osagie, Hammed Shittu and Abiodun Ajala embarked on tours to Numan in Adamawa State and Lafiagi in Kwara State to assess the level of compliance with the Nigerian Sugar Master Plan by Dangote Group and Bua Group, two fierce competitors that have been at each other's throats for market dominance in other sector where they operate. They also spoke to the Managing Director, Agro-Allied Division, Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc, Mr. Hugh Glyn Jones
The quest by the Dangote Group, BUA Group, and Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc to meet the target set under the Nigerian Sugar Master Plan (NSMP) to end the importation of sugar into the country by the year 2020 has attained a frenetic pace, with the three firms achieving various stages of development in their backward integration programme (BIP) sites.
To drive the country towards self-sufficiency in integrated sugar production, conserve foreign exchange and create jobs for thousands of Nigerians, the federal government in 2013 signed agreements with the three companies which import sugar to meet the nation's demand.
Under the agreement, BUA acquired the Lafiagi Sugar Company, now known as BUA Sugar Company, Lafiagi in Kwara State as its BIP project, for Dangote, it was the Savannah Sugar Company in Numan, Adamawa State, while Flour Mills on Nigeria established the Sunti Golden Sugar Estate in Niger State.
Since then, the three companies – all of which are major competitors in the cement and food and beverages industries – have been in a race against time to justify the government's incentives comprising rebates granted on duty payments, levies on the importation of raw sugar, and machinery to set up their plants. Behind the scenes, THISDAY also got some insight into the cut-throat competition between Dangote Group and Bua Group to outdo one another in yet another segment of the economy in which both firms compete.
Investigations by THISDAY at the various sugar plantations and plant sites revealed that the three sugar estates were at various stages of operation or completion, with two – Savannah Sugar and Golden Sugar Estates – having made considerable progress in attaining the milestones under the implementation of the backward integration plan, while Bua Sugar Company was still in the rudimentary stages of setting up its sugar estate.
Savannah Sugar Leads the Pack
The Dangote Group, at the moment, has just over 6,000 hectares of mature sugarcane, which is currently undergoing harvesting and processing, with the estate running three 24-hour shifts daily. When THISDAY visited its Savannah sugar plantation and factory in Numan, harvested sugarcane was being loaded into a machine which cuts and crushes it from where it moves through four mills where the crushed sugarcane is fully pressed and the liquid separated from the dry residue called bagasse.
While the bagasse goes into the boiler as fuel for producing the steam that turns the turbine for electricity generation, the liquid moves on for further processing which results in the separation of the sugar from the liquid effluent called molasses. The sugar syrup goes through further purification for the production of pure refined sugar while the molasses is also further processed into ethanol and other biofuels.
THISDAY discovered that apart from the processing of the molasses into ethanol and other biofuels which is currently not carried out at Savannah Sugar, all other activities at the integrated sugar production estate, from sugarcane to refined sugar, is carried out at the facility.
Speaking with THISDAY during the assessment of the estate, which the company said has gulped over N35 billion in investments to date, the agriculture manager of Savannah Sugar, Mr. Emmanuel Odaudu, said: "At the moment, the sugarcane plantation covers around 6,000 hectares and the company is currently expanding it to 16,000 hectares. The company has also acquired land in Lau/Tau, Taraba State; Kebbi State; Kaugama, Jigawa State; Mambe, Niger State; Kpata, Kwara State and Kogi State, for expansion."
Odaudu said in the current planting season, which began from January 6, the company has so far processed 1,400 hectares of sugarcane farmland, translating into 71,000 tonnes of sugarcane from which 3,800 tonnes of pure refined sugar has been processed.
"Production which takes off with harvesting sugarcane from the farm to processing in the factory goes on for 24 hours every day with workers running three shifts," he said.
The company's workshop manager, Mr. John Olayinka, added that Savannah Sugar uses various kinds of tractors and machines with varying capacities ranging from the Steiger tractors (17 units) to Magnum 290 for ridging (45 units). The company also operates dumpers, excavators and Komatsu dozers and each of these tractors can work on two hectares of farmland a day, he explained. "There are also continuous harvesters and grab harvesters all working round the clock to meet production targets," he pointed out.
Also, factory manager, Mr. Santosh Singh, during the tour, said: "After the separation, the sugar is further refined to pure white refined sugar while the molasses is further processed into ethanol, biofuels and mud which is used as manure for farmlands, among others."
Managing director of the company, Mr. Taaziya Akila Todi, who spoke at the sugar packaging section, puts current daily output of pure refined sugar from the Savannah Sugar plant at 160 metric tonnes per day and a projected output for this season at an estimated 18,000 metric tonnes of sugar.
"The expansion plan for Savannah Sugar which is currently ongoing, will see planted areas increase significantly along with the installation of a new plant that shall process 12,000 metric tonnes of cane per day. This will result in a total output of 250,000 metric tonnes of sugar produced annually from this company only.
"Ultimately, the plan is to replicate this in six different locations across the country (in Taraba, Kebbi, Jigawa, Niger, Kwara and Kogi States) to take the total output to around 1.5 million tonnes of refined sugar per annum. At this point, Nigeria will not only be self-sufficient in sugar production but will also have excess supply which can be channelled to the export market," he explained.
On the number of direct and indirect jobs Savannah Sugar has created, he said the company currently employs around 750 persons as full-time employees while also employing over 5,000 workers as contract staff who work in the farms and other parts of the factory.
"We also have guesthouses and accommodation within the estate where all our permanent employees and expatriates who visit the plantation and factory from time to time are accommodated," he said.
THISDAY also found out that the Savannah Sugar Estate is also being equipped with an airstrip where medium sized airplanes can land and take off. Currently, the facility is equipped with two power plants of 3.2MW capacity each to cater to the entire power needs of the estate with excess capacity to spare for adjoining communities.
Ultimately, according to Todi, power generation will be raised to 45MW in conjunction with the expansion plans of the company, with plans to make Savannah Sugar a net supplier of electricity to the distribution company in the area.
However, with Nigeria's current sugar consumption put at an estimated 1.7 million tonnes per annum and rising, Savannah Sugar's projected output of 1.5 million tonnes per annum, falls short of projected demand as per capita consumption rises.
BUA Moving at a Different Pace
But while the tour of Savannah Sugar showed that considerable progress had been made by the firm at its BIP site, the same could not be said of Bua Group's sugar estate in Lafiagi, Kwara State. THISDAY's visit to BUA's sugar estate revealed that the company was slow off the blocks and had a long way to go in attaining the milestones set out for producers under the sugar master plan. It was noted that only land preparation for transplanting its 13-hectare sugarcane nursery in the future had been carried out.
Providing insight, the General Manager of BUA Sugar Company, Mr. Samuel Yisaku, and the Group Head, BUA Agribusiness, Mr. Mario de Matos, said that the company was running its own BIP programme exactly as agreed with the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC) and so was not lagging behind any other company. Both executives explained that BUA was in the process of land preparation, which according to them, is the main milestone expected of their company by NSDC this year.
Yisaku added that BUA was also working to attain reasonable integrated cane processing in the next three to four years and transit to full production around 2024. The spokesman of the group, Mr. Otega Ogra, who also spoke during THISDAY's tour of the BUA plantation, further explained that hiccups in the privatisation process of the Lafiagi Sugar Estate was responsible for the seeming setback.
"The privatisation process through which we acquired Lafiagi Sugar took a long time to be completed and we were only able to take full ownership of the associated lands in late 2014 with the help of all stakeholders involved. The sugar council which regulates the industry was carried along every step of the way and targets were set and agreed upon based on the reality of the situation on hand.
"We have so far met our agreed targets which have been reviewed by the sugar council and for which we have received glowing recommendations from the inter-ministerial National Sugar Roadmap Implementation Committee. We are also confident we will meet our targets for 2016 as agreed with the sugar council," Ogra stated.
BUA at the moment has a 50-ton per day manual cane crushing plant which it is phasing out and plans to install a state-of-the-art plant that will turn out 1.2 million tonnes of refined sugar annually when the estate is fully operational. At the moment, according to Yisaku, the estate has 25 permanent employees and very few casual workers. It is not yet harvesting or processing sugarcane but mainly ploughing, tilling and preparing farmlands for mature cane seedlings presently occupying 13 hectares of land on the estate.
Apart from the land preparation equipment at the Bua estate in Lafiagi, the company also showed THISDAY some office blocks and three warehouses where it has stored pre-fabrication materials that are to be used to set up 100 units of accommodation for both workers and visitors to the estate.
Flour Mills is on Target
On its 17,000-hectare estate in Sunti, Niger State, Flour Mills of Nigeria, having spent N18 billion to date, has met one-third of the milestones under the national sugar plan. Its mill, according to the Managing Director of the Agro-Allied Division, Flour Mills of Nigeria, Mr. Hugh Glyn Jones, is also nearing completion and will commence trials soon.
Jones said the Sunti Golden Sugar Estate has complied with its approved BIP and is on target to achieve its full implementation by 2020. According to him, the estate is 17,000 hectares in size and the first phase of cane development will be for 10,000 hectares.
"The processing plant will commence production with a capacity of 3,500 tonnes cane per day (TCD) that will be expanded to 4,500TCD when sufficient sugarcane is available for processing," he said. He added that the plant will produce molasses for use in the group's animal feed operations and bagasse for production of electricity, noting that currently, 750 people are employed at the estate. The number of employees at the estate, he said, will gradually grow to 3,300 as the plant increases output.
He added that there will be an out grower scheme of 3,500 hectares developed alongside the estate to supplement sugarcane delivery to the mill. This, Jones said, will be developed as the irrigation infrastructure is extended beyond the core estate.
No Love Lost
But as Nigeria marches towards self-sufficiency in sugar production, what became apparent during THISDAY's investigation was the war of attrition between two major players – Dangote Group and Bua Group – in the sugar sub-sector. Both firms, with vast investments in cement and the food and beverages industries, have transferred their rivalry to the sugar sub-sector.
According to industry watchers, the President and Chief Executive of the Dangote Group and without contention Africa's richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, is often bemused by the fact that the president and chief executive of BUA, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, keeps snapping at his heels. Even more curious is that both men have not tried to conceal their rivalry through the occasional acts of one-upmanship in the various segments in which they operate.
While business rivalries may be beneficial to consumers in the long run, observers who spoke to THISDAY were of the view that in a 180-million-strong Nigerian market and excellent prospects for sugar exports to the West African sub-region and beyond, the market is more than large enough to accommodate Dangote, Bua, Flour Mills of Nigeria and other entrants into the industry.
Given the determination Dangote and Rabiu have displayed in expanding their cement concerns, what has become evident is that the race for market share and dominance in the sugar sub-sector will be an interesting one to watch. And just like the cement industry, it will only be a matter of time before Nigeria sees the back of raw sugar importation.
Promising Future for Local Sugar Production
Following the visits to the sugar estates in Numan and Lafiagi, as well as the interviews with Flour Mills of Nigeria and the NSDC, it was apparent that some progress had been made in meeting the milestones given to producers of refined sugar under the master plan.
The Savannah Sugar Estate was ahead of the competition and already producing sugar at its facility in Adamawa State, with plans to expand production to 1.5mt per annum from six other sites in the country; Flour Mills of Nigeria was on course to join Savannah Sugar in the production of refined sugar before the end of the year, effectively reducing Nigeria's dependence on imported raw sugar; however the Lafiagi Estate, having been hampered by post-privatisation delays at the sugar plantation and plant in Kwara, still has a long way to go before production can take off at its facility.
The mixed results, notwithstanding, the light at the end of the tunnel showed that the backward integration programme of the federal government in the sugar sub-sector has promise. It was a cue for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Investment to take note and replicate the BIP in other sectors in Nigeria's march towards economic diversification.

About Nigeria Sugar Master Plan
According to the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC), demand for sugar in Nigeria was estimated to have grown from 442,867 metric tonnes in 1995 to about 1,301,494 metric tonnes in 2005 showing an average annual growth rate of 7 per cent while local production accounted for less than 2 per cent. Today, demand has risen to about 1.5mmt while local production has stagnated.
This underdeveloped state of the sugar industry and the low local sugar production has deprived the country of all the benefits derivable from a vibrant sugar sector leaving some unwanted consequences notably, the annual drain on the nation's foreign exchange earnings, loss of hundreds of thousands of employment opportunities, and food insecurity arising from sugar import dependence.
Given the strategic importance of sugar, it became imperative that the nation's precarious dependence on sugar be checked particularly since Nigeria has the potential to become a net exporter of the commodity, if the capacity of the existing sugar plants is enhanced, new plants established, and sugarcane out grower farmers encouraged and supported through the provision of credit facilities, procurement of necessary inputs, and the development of basic infrastructure.
In realisation of this fact, the NSDC developed a road map called the Nigeria Sugar Master Plan (NSMP) for the attainment of self-sufficiency in sugar within 10 years. The NSMP was approved by the federal government in September 2012 and its implementation commenced on January 1, 2013.
The approval of the NSMP by government and its adoption as the strategic road map for the development of the sugar sector was a clear demonstration of government's commitment to leveraging on agriculture and industrial manufacturing to diversify the Nigerian economy and revenue sources in addition to creating employment opportunities for its citizens.
Busari: Companies That Signed up to the Sugar Master Plan Have Shown Commitment
The Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council, Mr. Latif Busari, spoke to Crusoe Osagie on the level of compliance with the Nigeria Sugar Master Plan aimed at attaining self-sufficiency in sugar production in the country
What has been the performance of the Sugar Implementation Committee and the Sugar Industry Monitoring Group with respect to compliance with the backward integration mandate in the industry?
There are two platforms for monitoring the implementation of the Nigeria Sugar Master Plan (NSMP): both the Sugar Road Map Implementation Committee consisting of the relevant ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), and the Sugar Industry Monitoring Group comprising the chief executives of the sugar refineries, have been quite effective in monitoring raw sugar quota utilisation and they also undertake periodic evaluation visits to the backward integration programme (BIP) sites to ensure that the projects meet targets and timelines and advise government accordingly.
So how are the players in the sugar sector implementing the backward integration policy on sugar?
So far, pretty good. The companies that signed up to the BIP with government in 2013 have shown commitment to their plans. Specifically, Dangote Sugar Refinery has expanded field and factory operations at its BIP site at Savannah Sugar Company, Numan, Adamawa State with about 6,000 hectares of sugarcane plantation and refurbishment of the factory. The company plans to acquire a new mill of 12,000 tonnes cane per day (TCD) for the facility and expand the estate to include adjoining Guyuk (7,500ha) recently granted by the state. The company has also acquired land in six other states for sugar projects – Lau/Tau in Taraba State; Kebbi State; Kaugama in Jigawa State; Mambe in Niger State; Kpata in Kwara State; and Kogi State.
Golden Sugar Company belonging to Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc, on the other hand, has a new 4,200TCD estate at Sunti Golden Sugar Estate, its BIP project which it commenced in 2012/13 will become operational in May 2016. The development at the Golden Sugar Estate, the first sugar factory under Nigeria Sugar Master Plan near completion is a testimony of Flour Mills of Nigeria's commitment to invest in the country.
The development of Lafiagi Sugar Estate, the BIP site of BUA Sugar Refinery, while not at the same pace as the others, is expected to accelerate in 2016. The company is ramping up its seed multiplication nursery pending the outcome of its site feasibility study, which is being handled by a reputable UK company called Booker Tate.
Given the incentives put in place for investors under the Nigeria Sugar Master Plan, are there any sanctions for non-compliance with the milestones set for operators in the sub-sector?
Yes, the NSMP provides adequately for sanctions and the operators are very much aware of them.
We understand that some companies just go and rent machines and place them at their sites as a form of window dressing in a bid to deceive BIP inspectors. Is there any truth in this allegation?
The council has no proof of that allegation and so far, council and the BIP monitoring groups believe that all machinery/equipment at BIP sites have been duly procured. Again, since machinery/equipment leasing and/or outsourcing of certain project activities are legitimate business options in Nigeria and a fairly common practice in construction projects, companies may take any of the options to execute projects. Council would like to believe that any machinery/equipment sighted at any project site is for legitimate project implementation.
How far has the government implemented and monitored the raw sugar quarterly allocation policy?
So far so good, this year marks the fourth year of the administration of raw sugar quota allocations to the refineries and the monitoring has been robust and in line with the provisions of the NSMP. Infractions have been minimal and have been sanctioned as applicable.
Between the Lafiagi, Savanah and Golden sugar estates, which of the facilities are actually producing sugar in the true sense of the word?
Savannah has been producing sugar every year since 2013 and even before. It is just that output has been low, but now production is projected to grow from 20,000mt in 2015 to 50,000mt in 2016, and 100,000mt by 2017. This is based on the expansion plan envisaged and being pursued by the Dangote Sugar Refinery. The Golden Sugar Estate, as mentioned earlier, is a new sugar project site that will be inaugurated in May 2016 and 28,600mt of sugar is projected to be produced in the first year. Lafiagi is of course at the planning and land development stage.
By your estimates, when will you stop the importation of raw and refined sugar importation?
Indeed 98-99% of all imports in the last five years or more have been of raw sugar; very little refined sugar is imported. Raw sugar is refined through some value addition to meet demand for industrial users and for homes. Industrial consumption is much more, about 80%. From this perspective, when we achieve self-sufficiency in production from sugarcane-to-sugar projects, refinery operations will obviously fall to meet the export market, if that is competitive. The NSMP target is to satisfy national demand first. Self-sufficiency will be achieved gradually over time but the NSMP has set a 10-year time line.
How would you advise government on other robust policies to encourage investments and development of other sectors of the economy?
The national dream is for Nigeria to be self-sufficient in sugar production. That is the ultimate NSMP goal and we, in the council, remain focused on the implementation of the plan in view of the numerous economic and social benefits this will bring to Nigeria. With regards to the general economy, I think, as a country, we need to avoid policy somersaults except where it is very necessary or becomes unavoidable. The policies enunciated in the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan have been acclaimed as generally lofty. Government however needs to demonstrate the will to see through its implementation so as not to send the wrong signals to the investing public. Of course where there is need to adjust implementation modalities, in view of emerging realities, that should also be done. I will therefore say that generally we already have good and robust policies for most of the sectors, we should now focus on diligent implementation.

CDC Determines Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Older Adults
CDC Determines Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Older Adults
THURSDAY, Aug. 13, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- The prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone density has been examined among adults aged 65 years and older. The findings were published online Aug. 13 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
Anne C. Looker, Ph.D., and Steven M. Frenk, Ph.D., from the NCHS, used data from the 2005 to 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys to examine the prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass at the femur neck or lumbar spine among U.S. adults aged 65 years and older.
The researchers found that 16.2 percent of adults had osteoporosis, with age-adjusted prevalence being 24.8 and 5.6 percent among women and men, respectively. The unadjusted prevalence was 25.7 and 12.8 percent among those aged 80 years and older and those aged 65 to 79 years, respectively. The unadjusted prevalence of osteoporosis was 24.9, 15.7, and 10.3 percent among Mexican-Americans, non-Hispanic whites, and non-Hispanic blacks, respectively. Low bone mass was seen in 48.3 percent of adults aged 65 years or older, with higher prevalence seen among women versus men (52.3 versus 44.0 percent). Prevalence was higher in adults aged 80 years or older versus those aged 65 to 79 years (52.7 versus 46.7 percent).
"Recent estimates of the prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass at the femur neck or lumbar spine in U.S. adults focused on adults aged 50 and over," the authors write. "There is also interest in the prevalence of osteoporosis among adults aged 65 and over because most adults in this group are eligible for Medicare coverage."

Lamplighters Touring Choir to perform Fall Concert
The Lamplighters Touring Choir will be presenting their Fall Concert Sunday, Nov. 19, at 3 p.m. in Roberts Chapel. The event is free, and the public is cordially invited to attend.
Melanie Catana, assistant professor of music, directs the choir, which is made of 18 students from a variety of majors and classes. At the Fall Concert, the students will sing pieces from GLAD's A Capella Project—a Christian rock group—and will also collaborate with the South Hills Children's Choir.
"I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing the children's choir and the Lamplighters perform together," said Catana. "I am also excited for the Lamplighters to perform the GLAD songs that we are preparing."
Catana said that in their rehearsals, the choir students work extensively to combine vocal skill with faith and Biblical learning.
"One of the most important elements to our choir is that we spend time talking about our faith in Jesus, together and in small groups," she said. "Our choir wants to be able to share the Good News of Christ by maintaining active and healthy individual relationships with the Lord. Prayer and devotions on Biblical passages are what keep us focused on our calling as a group: to be a choir that ministers God's message of salvation and love through meaningful and beautiful music."

Following up directly from the previous post in this series "The Functional Core":
In essence, the Market has become a weapon in the hands of it's maker.
Whomever accumilates the most sophisticated and commanding economic
arsenal, gets to call the shots.
From the colonial to the imperialist, into the hands of an unchallenged
super-power. Now it is not in fact the territorial threat that sends countries
into conflict, nor is it theology. Sadly, it is rarely humanitarian either. Though
all are evoked in the politizing of a nation's aims. Now it is merely another
and desperate attempt to generate instability itself, for which the drums
of war rumble. And it is in the wake of many a hard-earned deal, that we
summon our allies.
Globalization, as it is commonly refered to, is little more than a capitalist
battle for economic territory and a rapid return to aristocratic privileges
previously attributed to the early stages of the Industrial Revolution. The
objective of a powerful nation state is but to out-perform and destabilize 'the
other': destroy the other's production tools, access their market, their human
and natural resources, extend the reach of ones own labour force and establish
economic dominance through imposition and / or dependency - often a
combination of both.
Laws designed to protect the rights of a population whom are otherwise
subjugated to Market developments are frequently rendered disfunctional on
the basis of well-guarded jurisdiction. Afterall, which nation's civil laws will be
upheld in the case of international affairs? Thanks to the many very active
business lobby groups and untouchable economic trade policy institutions -
nothing but the business of business has legitimized jurisdiction. An
individuals rights are in fact much less expansive or protected, than that of any
corporation. 'International Affairs' and "Foreign Affairs" are now little but popular
euphemisms for 'big business affairs' that govern realms of law within and
between nations.
Humanitarian standards set by int'l bodies (such as the U.N.) are largely ignored,
afterall, the dominant and imposing state can claim itself as having the sovereign
right to conduct trade business in accordance to their own standards. They are
beyond the grasp of any external authority. In fact, the dominant player can pick
and choose to acknowledge law and policy in accordance to their own objectives
and especially in the effort to punish a resisting nation. A nation equiped with it's
very own wee trade policies and practices, interests and laws. Who will stop
them from doing so?
The global arena is riddled with hypocrisy. For the abled Core, it is a
gluttonous feast day after day after day, where they (our nations) sit privy to all
that which the most influential state cannot chew up and swallow itself. While
the G8 countries do vi for ranking, increasingly, the G7 are but the taste-testers
and peripheral benefactors, depending on how cooperative they are.. Many of
which do not have the guts to refuse invite, and are more than happy to be
thrown a meaty bone - regardless of what they state to their public. Or what
their population says to them, for that matter.
While for these states, the punitive impact of direct opposition would prove
too devastating to that particular (federal) administration's individual careers.
Besides, riding coat tails reaps it's rewards all the while destracts from the
sharing of blame. For most other nation states however, the result would be so
destructive that they work only toward having the means to risk claiming the
same quality of "soveriegnty" as the dominate player(s).
This is of course, where the focus inevitably narrows and highlights on the #1
Core nation - the United States of America. Recently and appropriately
described to me as the "800 pound gorilla next door". Indeed, the U.S. gov't
has more than demonstrated it's weight and status in relationship to Canada
and to the nations of the world. It seems that everyone is well-aware of the
slights and insults, the betrayals and the crimes committed in it's plight to
demonstrate it's placement in the Big Chair at the Big Feast - with exception
of an amazingly large swath of it's own population.
Mouths were agape around the globe, with the final sweeping confirmation
that a close majority of U.S. citizens supported a 2nd term for the Bush admin.
Not because we believe this 'man' and his crew were all that need be defeated
in the struggle for a more just world - nope. Not just because he was the Uncle
Sam Wants You Man for the Iraq War, nope. Simply because this U.S. President
has become a recognizable symbol for injustices perpetuated beyond U.S. national
borders now and in preceding decades.
An easy target indeed, the "captain and chief" presents himself as a menace to
the world; a lawless cowboy with an appropriated vocabulary and an
uncompromising "do no wrong" "moral authority" consistency that inflares the
nostrils of just about any informed and critically minded observer. Despite first
impressions, Bush Jr is not entirely the moron he chooses to present of himself.
He is not unawares of the consequences of his admin's policies nor actions. It
really isn't the case that he and his crew "poorly planned" nor "blindly
endeavored" the "War on Terror". They employed the term, the tactics, and the
strategy based upon a long awaited opportunity and with a very clear vision of
the broader implications.
Bush is the front-man, the take-it-for-the-team-man, the future-of-America
mouthpiece. One guy among a number, but with a strategy to win the vote. He
plays a character, keeps to a script, and has a team of informed co-conspirators.
This one nation of the America's is on a noble mission, one that was conceived
long before daddy Bush's reign, and saw the inception of the Project for the New
American Century in 1997. The participants in this project included politicians
and corporate figures, high-level military and a few CIA personnel. In 2000,
they described the following :
At present the United States faces no global rival. America's
grand strategy should aim to preserve and extend this advantageous
position as far into the future as possible.
Preserving the desirable strategic situation in which the United States
now finds itself requires a globally preeminent military capability both
today and in the future. But years of cuts in defense spending have
eroded the American military's combat readiness, and put in jeopardy
the Pentagon's plans for maintaining military superiority in the years
ahead. Increasingly, the U.S. military has found itself undermanned,
inadequately equipped and trained, straining to handle contingency
operations, and ill-prepared to adapt itself to the revolution in military
affairs. Without a well-conceived defense policy and an appropriate
increase in defense spending, the United States has been letting its
ability to take full advantage of the remarkable strategic opportunity
at hand slip away.
(Emphasis Added)
As you can see, this was a bid for an increase in military financing and effort. This
proposal outlined the nature of the military in the future, and subtly noted the
desired conflict theatres. It was dated for September, the controversial election
was in November. Everyone of Bush Jr's new administration was involved in PNAC
and many signed their name to this and other PNAC documents. I located this and
documents of similar nature (but that were dated two years prior), in the Pentagon
CIA Archives, in 2001. It has since circulated the net and a copy can be downloaded
from Wikipedia.
PNAC promotes U.S. Global Leadership (a soft phrase with obvious meaning)
and so does the current administration, and so do countless other neocons and
opportunistic neoliberals whom have recognized that the time for an American
Empire to out-do the empires of history, had come. In this document and others,
the words 'revolution' and 'transformation' and 'preeminence' are used regularly
to tactfully describe issues surrounding how to procure, manage, and sustain US
world dominance . The word "security" is used only in the context of protecting
U.S. 'leadership' and interests - not citizens. Most of these early doc's clearly
state that there is no threat. The emphasis is not on economic global
competitiveness and success among a diverse pool of international players, but
is on military power and it's ability to protect and further state interests. This
vision, push and strategy-making began at the onset of the 2nd world war. The
original scope of this 'vision' was much less expansive before the American
government actualized the potential that Germany could be defeated - and the
rewards of heroically captaining that defeat. The plight to increase US presence,
economic hegemony and political influence on the global stage, has been a
patient and rewarding struggle - ever since.
All the tools of war have been and are employed to meet this timely vision.
Every economic sanction, trade policy, aid package, the making and breaching
of civil and int'l law - as well as whatever military might can be summoned. These
people appear to view themselves as True Patriots in their understanding of the
real potential and they know what must be done to attain it. They know what's
best for America and have the 'balls' to accept the cruel conditions, the death of
innocents, the extinguished lives of young soldiers, and the nurturing of a nearly-
as-menacing faceless enemy... as merely a means to an end. Those whom do not
understand this, at very least understand that the economic benefits reach
beyond the necessity of globalization and that they will get rich, rich, rich. War
(however employed) is to them but the way of the world, and they aim to be on
the winning side.
Then there are the abled-but-bystanding who shrug their shoulders and tell us
that it's "better them then us" 'cause it's an "eat or be eaten" affair. All stances
pointedly ignore the potential for constructive change and support the perpetual
extension and conceptual expansion of empirical, imperialist, and colonial
history. This is the point. These are the markers of success. The level of
acceptance garnered and enveloped into the culture of 'the people' - consent.
Some say that surely, these people are creating wars in the world for a reason
beyond greed? Oversimplified - but not entirely incorrect. However, the main
characters in this narrative do have conviction. An unshakable faith. Much akin
to that insidious Myth so much of our culture is founded upon - that of the
(nonexistent) Free Market. Myth and faith bound and entwined with purpose.
These political elites are only doing what it is that is required by all great leaders
of all great empires. To do anything else would be irresponsible and weak in the
face of history. What giant would but awake only to turn over and mind it's own
fingers and toes? Such a giant would only be ridiculed as a figure children's tales.
And what remarkable lessons in improvement evolve with the advent of time,
where the manufacturing of consent is concerned. Swaying the opinion of a
population that believes in democracy, has disdain for colonialism, and was
accustomed to a 'mind yer own business and I'll mind mine' manner of engaging
with the world - became merely an issue of media savvy built upon four decades
successfulful research, development and theatre trials (I will flush out examples
of this , later). So was it seen that one could convince the bulk of the population
that several generations of war aimed at securing their nations rightful place as
king of the castle, is but the sacrifice that must be made... Under less honest
pretexts, of course. In fact, tactical approaches to converting popular opinion has
been so successful, that many U.S. citizens now view their nation as morally
obligated to interfere, intervene, and implement - even at the expense of their
own hard earned rights and freedoms. The secret to this success? Fear of a
looming threat, a faceless enemy. If the tactic works, why change it?
You may find Operation Northwoods of interest, in regard to how far your (any)
government might, has, and will go to convince you that there is a more pressing
need to break down those barriers presented by other nations. There is much
worth quoting in this document, it briefly outlines various proposals set forth by
the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (Department of Defence) regarding the "Cuba
Problem" and how they might create public justification for an invasion.
Highlights (suggested tactics for the purpose of manufacturing public consent):
Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene...
We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba. ..
We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the
Miami area, in othFloridadia cities and even in Washington.
The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking
haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans
enroute to Florida (real or simulated)....
It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate
convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down
a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States to
Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela. The destination would
be chosen only to cause the flight plan route to cross Cuba. The
passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday or
any grouping of persons with a common interest to support
chartering a non-scheduled flight...
It is possible to create an incident which will make it appear that
Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft over
international waters in an unprovoked attack...
... determination that a credible internal revolt is impossible of
attainment during the next 9-10 months will require a decision by
the United States to develop a Cuban "provocation" as justification
for positive US military action.
You can download this document at the National Security Archive and
of course, information and links are also available at Wikipedia.
I am suggesting that the US manufactured the terrorist attack in New York?
However plausible this theory is, I believe that this would have been highly
The 'giant' had already devastated so many populations, had already nurtured the
will and wont, and had already armed the once disjointed militia groups whom
would grow to apply an equal level of steadfast patience in their plight to oppose
and defeat thier maker. All that would need to be provided - is the opportunity.
Let us not forget that this story does not start with 9-11. That event is but a
blood stained flag signifying a turning point in (western) public awareness. That
event was but a necessary step toward making a far more important, formal
declaration. Not merely a declaration of war - but an ominously stated exhibition
of imperial preeminence and military predominance intended to parade the
worlds most dangerous nation in the seat of unchallenged and unparalleled power,
before a world audience.

Santa Rita Elementary School
Santa Rita Elementary School, an existing public school project on 14 acres, modernized permanent buildings, added classrooms, and converted an existing classroom to new school offices. The 21,000-square-foot project qualified for a Savings By Design incentive as well as state energy efficiency grants by beating Title 24 by 35 percent through a combination of envelope improvements, increased daylight, daylight compensation lighting controls, and innovative HVAC.
New interventions include the addition of patios adjacent to each classroom, skylights in the existing walkways and new rooms added to an existing classroom block. These interventions completely change the operation, look and feel of the campus, creating a hierarchy of outdoor circulation and social spaces and expanding teaching space into previously underutilized outdoor areas.
The jurors called this beautifully executed adaptive reuse project a good model for other schools to emulate. They praised the project for its keen attention to essential details and strong daylighting and ventilation solutions, calling it "honest — that is, straightforward and highly effective, not exotic or overly costly."
The jurors appreciated the project's messages: You can start later on with an older project and still accomplish an enormous amount through a carefully integrated design; you can achieve high efficiency on a modest budget and simultaneously create a better learning environment for children. "This project hit a home run with one pitch," the jurors concluded.
- Beats Title 24 requirements by 35 percent.

If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Massa to Milazzo train schedule: the first train leaves at 06:53, while the last ride is at 22:56. A Massa to Milazzo train cost about 107.8 €. But how long is the train ride from Massa to Milazzo? Your journey takes about 14 hours on average.

at the black hat conference in las vegas, a demonstration called device drivers by jon ellch and david maynor targeted a security flaw in a third-party wireless device driver and led to hacked macbook in less than 60 seconds. because it's a third-party driver, windows and other os-run machines are at risk, too.
the flaw in the wireless device driver is worrisome because most vulnerable laptops are at risk by default since laptops such as the "hacked" macbook in the demonstration are constantly looking for a wireless signal.
the duo is, not surprisingly, working on a fix to this security threat: a tool that currently recognizes 13 different wireless device drivers and lists their os and firmware version. luckily, however, there's no rush. the hackers released the presentation on videotape, so curious attackers won't be able to packet sniff the attack and use it for evil.
the original message of many of the alarmist articles posted this morning seems to be that apple products are not immune to security attacks, and much of the blame for said alarmism can be aimed squarely at maynor, who chose to target macs after seeing one too many "get a mac" ads.
for more, please see the apple core blog at zdnet and the security fix blog (with video) at the washington post.

except its a 3rd party problem dimwit. – by bob
|nothing to see here… (5:03pm est thu aug 03 2006)
ah, i was waiting for this to pop up here. before anyone gets all excited, the flaw was produced by inserting an external usb wireless card into a macbook and hacking its drivers, despite the fact that macbooks all come with their own internal wireless cards that can't be attacked by this flaw. anybody else see the non-story in this story? it also happens to work on all systems, not just macs, but since all macs have their own wireless cards, it wouldn't actually affect any mac users.
so watch out when you see someody running at you with an external wireless card in their hand. they may attempt to plug it into your computer, then run home and try hack it from their system.

there are alot of people out there who use their mac as a unix box/gnu programming etc.
and i love linux but i am not going to run an emulator to run corporate software that is not available in linux.
if you want to make fun of point and click, why not hit an os where their tools are mostly gui and can almost never run scripted without third party tools….
hmmm.. i wonder which os..
– by nozzoom
|response to anti mac guy (5:35pm est thu aug 03 2006)
with access to the terminal i don't think a mac can be summed up as 'point and click without thought'. it beautifully manages to provide the best of both worlds. here we have all the power of the most stable and robust os on the market and all the elegence of a well designed, well established gui.

well first of all, yes you can play those games, because you can install windows and os x on a mac at the same time. one of the commercials you hate so much says just that.

i don't think that anyone ever said there was a problem with mac hardware or pc (which stands for personal computer and technically should include macs) hardware. the debate has always been about the os. any security flaw is going to be in the software.
yes, windows was lax in coding standards becase they wanted to rush to market. yes, more people have tried to attack windows. but they are getting better. windows xp oftern doesn't have to be rebooted for about a week even when it is being used for more applications than the simple internet browser stuff. a lot of the instability now is caused by third party software with memory leaks. i wonder how often you would have to reboot os x if it had the same programs running. i expect vista to cause a big stir in this ongoing debate. – by iv

it's true that hackers and cybercrooks continue to spend most of their time devising attempts to breach about 820 million windows pcs in use worldwide. security firm mcafee says the number of malicious threats recently surpassed 200,000, ballooning 200% in two years, most of it aimed at microsoft. favorite new attack routes include microsoft office and internet explorer hackers find fresh vulnerabilities and write attack code, then thieves begin breaching pcs, often before microsoft can make a patch available.
recent office attacks have taken the form of e-mail directed to workers within targeted companies. often arriving on a monday, when in-boxes are overflowing, and appearing to come from a trusted source, the messages entice the victim to click on an infected word, powerpoint or excel attachment. opening or saving it turns control of the pc over to the intruder, who can then steal sensitive data and probe deeper into the company's internal network.
internet explorer attacks lurk in an array of forms on tainted web pages. usually all a victim has to do is click on a link to go to the tainted page where the breach takes place. – by windows insecure

i have read the article/blog serveral times and what i got out of it is that this does affect the drivers that come with the machine. which sounds to me that the default airport card is hackable too. but that they used a third party card to make the point that it is not just a mac exploit. there are other forum where this is being discussed with much 'geekier' context. so it seems that although this is a driver flaw it is based on the flaw found in other x86 hardware. as much as i like the switch to intel for laptop performance. it feels kind of good knowing that my powerbook or any ppc os x machine is not affected by this flaw. – by thedude
