Police are searching for a suspect after a man was shot in the upper chest in New Brighton just after 10 p.m. on Saturday.
The shooting occurred on Crescent Avenue, between Westervelt Avenue and Daniel Low Terrace.
A resident who lives in a house near where the shooting took place said he heard two loud pops, and assumed it was fireworks.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said he went outside and saw three people trying to load the victim into the back of a cab. But before they could get him into the back, police arrived. It is unclear what the cab's involvement was in the shooting.
The man described the scene as "chaotic," as police cuffed one man after he started punching the cab's windows.
"This is to close for comfort," the man said of the shooting.

Joe Maddon Talks Archer's Return, A-Rod Appeal, and PEDs
Joe Maddon was on MLB Network Radio on Friday afternoon and discussed Chris Archer's return, PED use, and whether or not Alex Rodriguez should be allowed to continue to play while appealing his suspension.
First the good news, he feels that Chris Archer should be ready to make his start on Tuesday:
Maddon on Chris Archer: he should be fine, we think it might have just been a cramp...I think he's going to make his next start.
? MLB Network Radio (@MLBNetworkRadio) August 9, 2013
He says that from his selfish perspective "I want a level playing field for us moving forward, I think it gives us our best chance to be not only competitive but to win at a high level over the next several years when we don't have to compete with other teams paying for guys that are on enhancement drugs..."
When asked whether or not Alex Rodriguez should be allowed to play while waiting for his appeal he said that he should be able to do whatever the rules say....but....."on the surface he should not be permitted to play while an appeal is in the process...."

Uggla dealt to Braves for twoNovember 16th, 2010, 2:43 pm by BILL PLUNKETT, OCREGISTER.COM
According to multiple reports on Twitter, the Braves and Marlins have consummated a three-player trade at the GM Meetings in Orlando, Fla. today.
After having their four-year, $48 million contract offer spurned by second baseman Dan Uggla, the Marlins instead traded Uggla to the Braves for infielder Omar Infante and left-handed reliever Mike Dunn.
That sounds like a package the Angels could have easily matched -- if they had any interest in the much-speculated Uggla.
Omar Infante + Mike Dunn = Maicer Izturis + Michael Kohn?
Is that an offer you would have wanted Angels GM Tony Reagins to make for Uggla?Read the rest of this entry »

March 18, 1878 - January 03, 1975
Lawrence Denny Lindsley (3/18/1877 - 01/03/1975)
Famous nature photographer and grandson of Seattle pioneer David T. Denny and Louisa (Boren). At age 11, Lawrence Denny Lindsley helped his father, Edward Lindsley, build a log cabin-style Real Estate office for his now-locally-famous grandfather. Five weeks after it was finished, young Lawrence watched in horror from his Denny Hill home as the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 destroyed much of downtown Seattle, but did not reach the newly constructed cabin, where the self proclaimed "roustabout" boy had "cranked the grindstone used to sharpen the axes."
In 1895, at age 18, Lindsley began working in the Esther Mine at the head of Gold Creek in Kittitas County. In 1899 he was employed by his grandfather, David T.Denny (who was contracted to oversee the work by King County) to help with the road repair of a wagon road across Snoqualmie Pass. It was at these two job sites that Lindsley began using his photography skills to document the work being done. In 1903, he started work at the W.P. Romans Photographic Company in Seattle, in which he owned part interest by the time it was purchased seven years later by Asahel Curtis. This led to Lindsley helping to develop some of the gold tone negatives for Edward S. Curtis' famous "Indians of North America" series. He was a charter member of the Mountaineers Club which formed in 1907. By 1908, he had moved to Lake Chelan and was working for the Great Northern Railroad, who hired him to photograph Glacier National Park for their tourist literature. Lindsley, an outdoorsman who learned to hunt deer on the summit of Queen Anne Hill, also worked as a wilderness guide.
In September 1916, the GNR hired Lindsley to be the guide, cook, and packer for the party of author Mary Roberts Rinehart. In Rinehart's published account of the expedition in Cosmopolitan magazine and in Tenting To-Night, her 1918 novel based in the Cascades, the taciturn Lindsley figured prominently as a character called, "Silent Lawrie." Lindsley himself was a prolific writer who kept journals for most of his adult life. He also wrote lengthy descriptions on the backs of many of his photographs, adding history, context, and detail to bring his pictures to life. He returned to Seattle and the Curtis Studio in 1916, living in the Wallingford District for over fifty years, and continued taking photographs into his 90's.

Hardemon talks people, politics and plans for Dist. 5
Youngest commissioner since the switch to single-member districts
D. Kevin McNeir | 12/5/2013, 9 a.m.
Liberty City-born Keon Hardemon, 30, has 10 days until he officially settles into his new City Hall office as the city commissioner for District 5. But he says he's already had meetings with Miami's top brass including the city manager, attorney and mayor. And he's learned a lot since his first failed attempt for public official two years ago when he allowed his temper to get the best of him during a televised debate on Mike Putney's Sunday show against then-opponent, County Commissioner Audrey Edmonson.
"I learned in that first run at public office to appreciate all opportunities to speak publicly and that one has to be clear and in control when dealing with the media, other public officials and the public in particular," he said. "You earn votes because people believe that you're a problem solver. That's what you have to show about yourself. I'm used to working in the courtroom but political office is a different playing field. After the first election, I had the good fortune to attend a Congressional Black Caucus boot camp and was sponsored by Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. It was six weeks that taught me a great deal about running a campaign and winning it. And I learned how to listen a lot more."
Much has been said about Hardemon's youth. Even Judge Orlando Prescott mentioned it during the swearing-in ceremony, saying that while seasoned men and women bring needed experience, younger folks bring energy and zeal to public office.
"I just turned 30 on October 20th but I don't think age is all that important," he said. "You can't look at one's age in a vacuum. I consider my collective experiences to be unusual for one as young as me. I have had the opportunity to be groomed by my coaches when I was a teen, my instructors in business and law school and even mentors like Judge Prescott after I passed the Florida Bar. So I have the perspective of someone much older. Even my grandmother has said that I always had an old soul. It will all serve me well in building bridges and filing in gaps within our District."
No animosity with the old regime
Hardemon won the election garnering 72 percent of the vote over his opponent, the Rev. Richard Dunn, II. He admits that his victory was secured by the endorsement of his mentor, former City Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones. He set the record straight on their relationship.
"Michelle did an amazing job for this District and I really appreciated her help with the election," he said. "But she's moved on to go after other personal goals and will not be part of my administration. Her chief of staff, Cornelius Shiver, could figure prominently in my office personnel and he's offered great advice to me so far. But what I want is the best people I can find — not friends, family or political allies — to be part of my team. I'll be making announcements to that end in the coming days."

Churches and congregations around the world will take part in the Global Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem on Sunday.
As in previous years, a Jerusalem celebration of the day of prayer will be broadcast live from the ancient city.
Robert Stearns, one of the event's organizers, told CBN News why it's important to pray for Israel at this time.
Click play for more with CBN News Mideast Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell on how to pray for Israel.
CBN founder Pat Robertson is issuing an urgent call to Christians to pray for the nation of Israel as the U.N considers the vote on Palestinian statehood.
"Truly there has never been a time when we need to pray for Jerusalem like today," he told CBN News.
"I think it's just obvious with the events in New York last week, all of the discussions at the United Nations, the attention of the world is focused on Israel and the Middle East," he said.
"Really at the heart of that is what happens in the city of Jerusalem," he added.
"So the time is now for concerned believers to become educated and empowered to be standing in prayer as Psalm 122:6 tells us, 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,'" he said.
Stearns said nearly 300,000 churches are expected to participate globally.

Charleston's Board of Architectural Review was slated on Wednesday to consider one of the most controversial projects to come to its attention in recent years: the Clemson Architecture Center.
Unfortunately for the many people who showed up at the meeting to weigh in, or just to listen to the debate, the BAR was unable to consider the matter.
That's because the seven-member board couldn't get a quorum of members who weren't in some way associated with the project or Clemson's architectural program in Charleston.
So the BAR's big meeting came and went, leaving many disappointed attendees, particularly those who took the trouble to come from out of town.
The matter will be taken up again when a former BAR member can be pressed into emergency duty to make up a quorum.
It was certainly surprising to learn that so many BAR members have a link with Clemson's Charleston office. And properly, those members recused themselves.
But the BAR should have been prepared for that contingency in advance. The board should been ready to conduct its business as advertised, particularly on a high-profile issue like the architecture center.
Clemson already has had a dispute over the center, and consequently abandoned its initial plans for a building on George Street. The current plan is opposed by the Ansonborough neighborhood, where the building would be located, and by the Preservation Society of Charleston, which wants it built elsewhere.
It was to be expected that one side or the other would have been disappointed by the outcome of Wednesday's meeting. As it turned out, both sides had something to complain about.

Okay, what the hell:
(Yeah, I've started test driving the Zune style- I think I'm probably going to go back to the Media Center Royale because ORANGE START = BARF BARF)
EDIT: I should probably note that, apart from the RSS feeds mentioned in this thread, IE7 does feeds just fine. It's just Achewood, Rory, and non-broadcasted Channel 9 feeds.
MORE SYMPTOMS: Huh. From the links at the bottom of Garry's main page (and the ones in this post), this feed doesn't work (shows up as source) but this one does. Also, all feeds work when accessed by the little orange button in IE7.

Yes, I established that. I want to figure out what's wrong.
Okay, so on any other system, going to http://www.achewood.com/rss.php yields a valid RSS feed. But, for some reason, on my Windows XP partition, it comes out like this:
I've checked my Internet Options and there's nothing different in the advanced settings from the options of a computer this works on. When I start IE7 without Addons it still shows up like this. When I copied the working feed file from my Vista partition into the XP Feeds folder, XP started grinding 100% CPU on winlogon.exe for several hours, to the point where I had to do a cold reboot into Vista to delete it, which made the system run fine again (except that my peripherals weren't recognized for some reason).
What is going on?
EDIT: Oh, the irony!
This happens with the button at the bottom of the page, too. It works with the feed provided by the RSS icon on the IE7 toolbar.

That was useful. Now, is there any way I can keep it from booting the default at all?

Born: In 1975 in Detroit.
Sounds like: The musical equivalent of childhood wonder.
For fans of: Highly conceptualized folk, choirlike vocal richness, unobtrusive biblical references, found sounds, hoarding (of layered sounds and the physical material they're packaged in), live show choreography.
Latest release: The five-album, 57-song box set Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10.
Why you care: A songwriting and stylistic chameleon who shot into the limelight thanks largely to his brilliant 2005 release, Illinois, Sufjan Stevens embraces colossal thematic projects with the energy and effervescence of a Dr. Seuss character. His newest box set—a treasure chest of Christmas classics and festive original material—alternates between the playful and the pristine. Albeit lengthy and at times cacophonous, Silver & Gold unwraps Stevens' peculiar process as much as his well-established musical prowess. Arguably one of the brightest musical minds of the 21st century, Stevens has not only re-emphasized the importance of the concept album, but has done so while, admirably, calling his own shots throughout. Sure, the dude really, really appreciates Christmas—the set list for this current tour, conducted under the name "Surfjohn Stevens," consists entirely of his holiday songs—but even Stevens' guilty pleasures boast his signature and obsessive sonic perfectionism. He's telling you a dazzling secret with every song, cupping his hands around your ears and unleashing painfully imaginative stories that range from travelogues to nostalgic memories to ruminations on solitude, all constructed around an intricate, mega-melodic backbone and keenly observational lyricism.
SEE IT: The Surfjohn Stevens Christmas Holiday Sing-a-Long Seasonal Affective Disorder Yuletide Disaster Pageant on Ice is at the Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukee Ave., on Thursday, Dec. 6. 8 pm. Sold out. Under 21 permitted with legal guardian.

Isuzu's 2011 N-Series trucks are the first medium-duty low-cab-forward trucks to meet the most stringent emissions standards in the world. They are:
Isuzu's heritage of clean diesel technology enables us to be the first to offer Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection.
Here's how it works.
Together with an enhanced exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and variable-geometry turbocharger, SCR technology allows all 2011 Isuzu N-Series trucks to meet the demanding emissions standards.
This revised exhaust system also monitors the DPF's particulate status and the level of DEF required for the SCR system to operate, and reports the results to the driver through the Multi-Information Display.
Under normal highway operating conditions, the DPF will regenerate itself automatically to remove particulate matter from the exhaust. But under slow-speed, stop-and-go or long-idle conditions, the system may require—and will allow—the driver to manually initiate a DPF regeneration cycle manually.
It stores 7.4 gallons of diesel exhaust fluid, and is even equipped with a heating element to ensure reliable operation in cold-climate conditions.
DEF consumption is only 1% of fuel used, so the DEF tank should be refilled every 20-25 times the fuel tank is refilled.

Oct 17, 2005 | The development of Semantic Web capabilities provides exciting opportunities for life science companies to address two major challenges confronting them — innovation and safety — improvements in which require data integration among myriad data sources. (See Masters of the Semantic Web, page 28.)
There are several ways that Semantic Web technologies can be implemented within a biopharmaceutical R&D organization. Semantic Web deployments are highly flexible and can range from small departmental solutions to large multi-enterprise consortium. At each organizational level, informatics developers can create significant value through the application of Semantic Web technology. As standards emerge and companies become more experienced in deploying the technology, we expect to see many valuable capabilities developed:
PharmacovigilanceAs the COX-2 inhibitor debacle makes painfully clear, biopharma companies need new methods and systems for tracking toxicity indicators in defined patient populations earlier in the pipeline. Pharmacovigilance is essentially a problem of data standardization, integration, signal detection, and reporting. R&D generates huge volumes of experimental data that eventually become part of the legacy of a compound's IND filing. Much of this information might signal potential toxicities for compounds further up the value chain, but traditional analytic tools have typically failed to identify potential clinical adverse events. Specific issues and needs include:
Addressing these needs improves competitive intelligence and surveillance, relates patient profiles and genomic data to safety, enhances risk-benefit assessment to drive preferred treatment plans, and provides continued education and alerts to reduce avoidable drug reactions.
Deploying Semantic Web methodologies for data integration and creating intelligent applications for signal detection helps researchers in preclinical and clinical development search and view the research history of a compound. As a result, R&D CIOs could enable the creation of overarching views and predictions, leading to safer therapeutics in the marketplace.
Semantic InnovationBiopharma and biotech companies need new systems for interpreting experimental data to improve R&D productivity. The quantity of data and IT architecture is too much for any researcher to completely interpret his or her results. A strategically designed knowledge architecture allows the creation of applications to generate testable scientific hypotheses, thus leading to new insights about targets, compounds, and diseases — the essence of hypothesis-driven drug discovery.
A Semantic Web approach could include modifying semantic architectures built for other vertical markets such as the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community to advise combat commanders and adapting them for the pharmaceutical industry's need for more intelligent decision support systems.
Semantic technologies are still developing, and the market includes many niche categories that may be required to develop a complete system. Companies implementing such technologies need to balance value and complexity in assembling a solution. Semantic Web technologies will create opportunities for improvements in discovery, development, and safety. Companies should move aggressively to pilot the use of semantic technologies in these areas.

Welcome to the forums Tom.
You don't want that system. It is a rather old server system. In fact the way the seller tries to say it is a "great gaming machine" I wouldn't buy anything from that seller because he/she is very much full of it and I wouldn't trust him/her farther than I can throw my house.
Sure, eight years ago that would have been a great gaming platform, but right now you could buy a standard off the shelf cheap system for less and it would blow it away.
Xeon 2.8Ghz processor = old single core processor. We are currently on six core CPU's. Dual core is the minimum you want, with gaming quad core is highly recommended, six core if you are building new.
SCISI = big bucks
AGP = three generations old video card slot
6200 video card = can't get much lower than that. From the Sellers description -Maybe, just maybe it would actually be able to run The Sims 3, but only if you like slide shows at the lowest possible resolution.With dedicated video 512MB RAM with Pixel Shader 3.0 support
Capable of playing the most popular games, including The Sims 3 and World of Warcraft
1GB DDR-266 = I have 1GB ram on my video card alone. 2GB system memory is standard for an office computer these days. Gaming should be 4GB. Single channel DDR-266??, current mainstream memory is DDR3-1600 dual or triple channel! And even faster speeds for those with deep pockets. What a difference!
What is your budget? We can certainly help you find a much much better system than this old dinosaur.
You know what I would pay for that system? About $25 (about £12 ??). Maybe $50 if it actually had the second Xeon in it. That's about all it is worth. No joking in any way, I have given away better systems.

Hi Monica. It's not a matter of patches. The bug is marked
RESOLVED FIXED because it's been put into our next release, on top of
lots of other code. Although you can certainly use CVS and get
everything necessary from there, unless you have the expertise to
already know how to do that, I'd strongly recommend against it.
You are also free to use the unstable development release
(3.1.4) which has these features, if you are okay with the risk of some
features not working correctly.

Sirius, XM buzzing to build biz by '06
Satellite radio is facing a do-or-die December.
And in attempts to keep their names in the news, the country's satellite radio firms, XM and Sirius, are engaging in a last-minute flurry of announcements, marketing and publicity campaigns. Not all of them, however, are created equal.
Sirius issued Tuesday a multipage press release announcing the "expansion" of its NBA partnership, but there was little news apart from making official a previously forged partnership; a touted 24-hour NBA channel, for instance, had launched two weeks ago.
XM, meanwhile, has sent out five press releases in the last week. Tuesday it scored its biggest bit of news: Bob Dylan will host a weekly show that will have him interviewing guests as well as deejaying.
Both companies say that they are simply announcing the deals as they happen. "We haven't gone, 'It's the fourth quarter, let's jam out press releases,' " said Sirius spokesman Patrick Reilly.
But the firms also admit the holidays are a heady time for their subscription-based services. Sirius is counting on the January launch of Howard Stern to help it move units and hit its target of 3 million subscribers by the end of 2005, a number Wall Street is keenly watching. (At last count Sirius had roughly 2 million subs.)
Sirius has plastered Los Angeles with Stern billboards, and earlier this week launched its first Stern broadcast spot. Stern, who has cooperated with the press only sporadically during his over-the-air tenure, has opened up for "60 Minutes" and major newspapers. "We're close to reaching a crescendo for the quarter," Reilly said.
XM, which has a broad base of niches but no Stern-like uber-presence, has countered with a campaign designed to "highlight the diversity of our personalities," according to spokesman Nathaniel Brown. Called "Listen Large," it features TV promos from the likes of Ellen DeGeneres, Derek Jeter, David Bowie and Snoop Dogg.
Not to be outdone, Sirius has just taken to the airwaves with ads featuring program host Martha Stewart. In the December announcement blizzard, the company also disclosed a Christian talk station.
The next few weeks are also key, given that both companies continue to operate at a loss, and it's unclear how deep, and for how long, investors will tolerate the bleeding. XM lost $134 million last quarter; Sirius finished with a decline of $180 million. XM has a sub base several million higher than Sirius.
Sirius also got some bad news Tuesday when Banc of America analyst Jonathan Jacoby downgraded the stock from "neutral" to "sell" and said the company may miss the 3 million sub figure. Jacoby had harsh words for the satellite radio company: He said that the Stern hullabaloo has caused the company's stock price "to become completely detached from the underlying business fundamentals." Sirius closed down 45¢, to $7.01.

Champion enjoys individual success at 2014 USBC Open

RENO, Nev. -
Since returning to the
United States Bowling Congress Open Championships
after a two-year hiatus, Anthony LaCaze of Melrose Park, Ill., has established himself as the man to beat on the tournament lanes.
Last year, he helped Junior Team USA Support 1 of Mansfield, Texas, to the Team All-Events title and a second-place team finish, and while their title defense didn't go as well as they'd hoped this week at the National Bowling Stadium, LaCaze was able to enjoy some individual success.
The 31-year-old right-hander rolled sets of 766 in doubles, 765 in team and 742 in singles Monday to capture the Regular All-Events lead with a 2,273 total. He led the defending champion Junior Team USA Support 1 to a 10,084 total, which is third in Team All-Events this year.
Tim Damerow of Waupun, Wis., previously held the Regular All-Events lead with 2,228, and his Janz's H.I. team of Beaver Dam, Wis., tops the Team All-Events standings with 10,363.
"I didn't know what was leading," said LaCaze, who logged his 13th year on the tournament lanes. "I just knew I was throwing it well. I wanted to stay focused on what I needed to do to strike, instead of striking itself."
Since long before LaCaze and his teammates arrived in Reno from four different states, they'd been in constant contact concerning their practice experiences, equipment choices and strategic ideas.
They walked down Center Aisle together as they were recognized as champions for the first time, and every minute of their time on the lanes was about the team. They worked together, communicated about what they were seeing and helped each other stay focused as they tried to become the first team to repeat in Team All-Events since Lodge Lanes of Belleville, Mich., accomplished the feat in 1998.
"The team really helped me out," said LaCaze, who also is third in Regular Doubles with Steve Novak of Bay City, Mich., with a 1,367 total. "We played the team game, stayed right and developed the lanes really well. I just tried to keep my first step short and wait for the swing to get through, and the results were good."
LaCaze was joined on the lanes by Erik Vermilyea (2,013), Matthew Tuckfield (1,974), Novak (1,967) and Jeffrey Mersch (1,857).
The group also found success during its team event Sunday, despite the excitement of the championship celebration and the pressure of being the defending champions.
"It was something I thought about for a year straight," Vermilyea said. "From the second we set the number last year, I started to think about what it would be like to win, see the word champion by our names, march down Center Aisle - and it was an amazing experience. It was everything I hoped for. It was absolutely perfect and something I'll never forget."
After starting slowly with a 1,050 game, Junior Team USA Support 1 was able to pile on the strikes on the way to games of 1,161 and 1,268. The finale was the fifth-highest game in tournament history and gave the group a 3,479 total, which is fifth in Regular Team. Motion Plus Lanes of Cudahy, Wis., leads with a record 3,561.
"To finish that up and start bowling was a lot of work," said Vermilyea, a former Junior Team and Team USA member who made his 10th Open Championships appearance. "There were not a lot of good shots the first game, but we settled down. We gelled like we always do, and we finished it off strong."
LaCaze made his return to the Open Championships in 2013 after missing two years as an exempt player on the Professional Bowlers Association Tour. He was the 2009-10 PBA Rookie of the Year and picked up his first PBA national title at the Earl Anthony Memorial Classic in 2010.
In his re-emergence on bowling's biggest stage, LaCaze contributed a 2,050 all-events total to the Team All-Events-winning effort. With this year's success, he has averaged more than 240 in his last 18 tournament games. He averaged 200.9 in the nine tournaments before earning his Tour exemption.
It definitely has been an emotional week for LaCaze and his teammates, who celebrated, struggled and succeeded together, while sharing a life-changing experience at the Open Championships. And now, the wait and scoreboard watching begins again.
"I'm getting goose bumps just talking about it," LaCaze said. "It feels good. I hope everybody who comes out here throws the ball to the best of their ability, and hopefully I'll be there at the end."

Change a sub-menu
You may notice that some Wheaton webpages have sub-menus in their sidebars. In fact, a sub-menu may have appeared on your own page—inexplicably!
Sidebars are reserved for sub-navigation on Wheaton's site. So, if a page has any "child" pages, those pages will appear automatically in the "parent" page's Sidebar. Just as in real life, no matter what else you may have planned for that area, the "children" can take over.
Wheaton's site works that way by design. Your readers need to be able to navigate through your site, and this kind of sub-navigation is very helpful to them.
If you need to re-order the options in a sub-menu, use pageMash (find it in the editor dashboard under "Pages") to drag the page titles up or down. Be certain to save your work by clicking "update" in the lower-right before leaving pageMash.

I am a pretty big fan of both of these two, but I believe you have misinterpreted their findings and messages.
Taubes is NOT a VLC champion at all.....he makes a very long, detailed case that most of our notions about fat are incorrect, especially in regards to cholesterol levels in cardiovascular disease.
In regards to Lustig, he is mostly a public policy figure, not a scientist. He says this himself in most appearances he has.
BOTH are out to prove one simple case: processed carbs and sugar, due to their hormonal effects and their caloric content, are very bad for you. This fact should be placed at the top of our priority list, far ahead of vague notions about exercise or "reduced fat". Lustig is a pretty big CICO proponent in his book, making largely the same case that you are in terms of palatibility being a big problem in that vast calories can be taken in without much satiety.
The reason they are at least given some airing in the paleo community is that they were some of the first to make the case against processed food being the #1 target.
Lastly, I think the notion that our European "ancestors" being "healthy" is without merit.....when are we talking about here, the Middle Ages? In paleolithic times?
The time when Europeans, as well as earlier in the Middle East, when people did live primarily off staple food carbs were all marked by widespread malnutrition. People were short, had bad teeth, deformed bones, and there was no understanding of cardiovacular disease to make any such claims of "healthy" from.
In contrast, those that came BEFORE this period of "eat like a poor farmer", the hunter-gatherers, were on average much taller, larger, had intact teeth into advanced age, etc. All of this is laid out very well by Dan Leiberman, Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard. None of this is news.
The case I make in my own diet is that carbs are not the enemy at all.....but they are a controlled substance with a specific use, that being to fuel intense exercise. In NON-processed forms, they can be taken in without blowing away the CICO for the day, and to boost performance. Most present-day paleo writers, such as Wolf and Durant, are not carb-haters. They understand that in cleaner forms they are useful.
Most of the arguments against so-called carb haters are straw men, defeating arguments no one made. It's all pretty simple, and Taubes and Lustig are at least on the right side of the diet craziness that is America.
carbs from rice = ok in moderation, especially for athetics
carbs from a bag of Cheetos = bad

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio - Nextant Aerospace, the aircraft manufacturer that converts Beechjet 400A/XP planes into multi-million-dollar corporate jets, announced late Monday that it will be building at least 10 planes for Asia Pacific Jets of Singapore.
This is the five-year-old company's first order to deliver its Nextant 400XT jets to Asia. Most of its orders are for clients in North America.
Nextant will build three air ambulances and seven VIP executive jets over the next three years, with the possibility of more aircraft after that, said Jay Heublein, Nextant's vice president of sales and marketing.
The custom-designed, made-to-order jets - to be built at the company's new 125,000-square-foot facilities at Cuyahoga County Airport in Richmond Heights - cost about $4.4 million each.
Nextant just finished its 16th aircraft and has orders to build 83 more over the next five years.
Air ambulances, equipped with a self-contained ambulance bed and advanced cardiac life support systems, are used to transport patients to from remote regions to specialty hospitals.
Executive aircraft can be outfitted with every imaginable amenity and configured to accommodate up to eight people, plus two pilots.
"We are proud that Asia Pacific Jets has selected the Nextant 400XT, and to see the aircraft begin service on the Asian continent," said Nextant Aerospace Chief Executive Kenneth Ricci said in a statement announcing the contract.
He said that feedback from the 15 aircraft now flying around the globe has been "outstanding," and that the company is looking forward to expanding its into other markets worldwide.
Nextant Aerospace takes a Beechjet 400A/XP airframe and equips it with the latest technology, including a Williams FJ44-3AP turbofan engine, high-tech instrumentation including a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated avionics suite, advanced electronics, including high-speed wireless Internet, and a completely rebuilt interior.
The resulting Nextant 400XT has a range of 2,005 nautical miles - about 50 percent better than the Beechjet - and a cruising speed of 460 nautical miles per hour.
Unlike the Beechjet 400XP, it costs about 30 percent less to operate and can fly farther using less fuel.
The first two jets for the new order will be sent to Asia to coincide with the new Singaporean base that Air Pacific Jets and AirMed Asia are launching later this year.
Asia Pacific Jets, which just announced a partnership with AirMed Asia of Hong Kong, will also become Nextant 400XT's sales agent in Asia.
AirMed Asia will operate one of the few company-approved maintenance facilities in Asia.
Jeffrey Tolbert, AirMed International's chief executive, said in a statement that the Nextant 400XT offers "everything we like about the Beechjet, and everything one would expect from a brand-new light jet, but at a fraction of the cost" to buy and operate the plane.
He also said its range "will enable nonstop flights from our Singapore base as far west as Mumbai, India, and as far north as Shanghai, China."

What Skateboarder Tony Hawk Eats for Breakfast
Welcome to My Morning Routine, where we take a look at how people kick-start the day. And by "people" we mean celebrities.
(Credit: Matt Duckor)
Tony Hawk is widely considered the greatest professional skateboarder of all time, and was a driving force in turning something once relegated to drained pools and abandoned parks into a multibillion-dollar worldwide sport. We caught up with the 44-year-old on the phone as he prepares for his gig as an ESPN commenter for the X Games, which start on April 18:
My morning routine really depends on whether I have to get the kids going in the morning. If I do, I'm up at 7 and immediately make them lunches (and myself coffee) and try to figure out what do about their breakfast. Sometimes I make them something quick: an egg and cheese bagel in the microwave, a technique I've learned through the years.
I try to get the bagels from Albertson's. They prefer plain, I prefer wheat–they're very finicky. Sometimes I'll make them on a croissant if that's what I have on hand. Usually I use a smaller bowl and scramble one egg and put strips of cheddar on top of it and microwave it. Then I can scoop it out out of the bowl and it's perfectly shaped for a bagel.
(Credit: Courtesy ESPN)
If I'm left to my own devices, I turn on Howard Stern, and if it's a repeat day, then just music. I ease into the morning–my energetic music I save for skating. Lately, it's been the new Paul Banks, which is the guy from Interpol's solo album, Grizzly Bear, stuff like that. I have such an eclectic collection of music, though. We'll play Joy Division and Kraftwerk–we dig deep for random stuff like that. I usually try to shower and shave and brush my teeth before I'm out the door–except on the days with the kids, when there's no time for me in the morning.
[For my breakfast], it really all depends on what the agenda of the day is. Sometimes I'll go down the street, where there's a good Mexican place that people don't realize serves breakfast and get a breakfast burrito with black beans to go. If I'm going to my office, I'll just eat it in the car. If not, it's close to home, so I eat at home.
The pinnacle breakfast is a croissant and cappuccino, one sugar. My girlfriend loves these Trader Joe's croissants, but you have to put them out overnight, so you have to plan ahead. I have the croissant with Bonne Maman jam.
I discovered Bonne Maman in France in the early '90s during a skate exhibition, and was surprised when I found it in the States. Eating it now reminds me of that time and place, when everything was new and undiscovered in skating, and we were at this sort of strange skate camp that was in a small town. And as much as we were uncomfortable living there, we were excited to have such a great opportunity to skate and travel. I was suddenly able to appreciate international foods. Up until then I really had been stuck in an American diet–everything was starch-based and not very flavorful, and I was not as willing to expand my horizons when I was just at home. So in France at the skate camp was the first time I was able to focus on making breakfast on a daily basis. Up to that point I was in a different city every day, and we were at this camp three weeks, four weeks. It was the first time we were more domesticated in an overseas environment.
The only other morning routine is when I have to get up super early to catch a flight. In that case, I get my clothes on, get a bag, and go.

I was hoping to get through this off-season without getting all worked up about something that probably didn't amount to anything. I made it through Thanksgiving and New Year's Day and was 29 days from the start of spring training when word came that Jon Lieber had signed with the Chicago Cubs for $3.5 million plus incentives.
This is the kind of thing I hate about the way Drayton McLane runs the Astros. He'll spend money on the big, splashy moves. Roger Clemens, Carlos Lee, Miguel Tejada, Andy Pettitte. Those guys could have gotten almost anything they wanted because Drayton sees the chance to build a marketing campaign around them.
Then when it comes time to finish the deal, to add a reliever here, a starter there, he starts to cut corners. I have no idea how much money Ed Wade offered Jon Lieber. I just know that the Astros weren't willing to pay what he was asking for. The Cubs were. In the end, Lieber might not have signed with the Astros anyway, but the Astros made it easy for him.
I don't know if he would have won a single game for the Astros. He's recovering from surgery and is a few months from his 38th birthday. He won 12 games the last two seasons combined and may very well be at the end of the line.
On the other hand, he's just the kind of acquistion that smart teams make. He was willing to accept a one-year deal. In other words, he understood that he's past the point of getting a multi-year deal.
This criticism probably is unfair since Wade has worked hard filling out his roster: Geoff Blum, Darin Erstad, Mark Loretta, Doug Brocail. It's just that the Astros have such a criticual need for starting pitching, and Lieber knows how to win.
He's a smart, tough, grind-it-out kind of pitcher. He's like Clemens in that he can win even though he no longer has killer stuff. He wasn't worth a three-year deal or even a two-year deal. But he was worth a look.
One of the things that seemed to irritate Clemens and Andy Pettitte, and probably Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt even though they'd never say it. If you play for the Red Sox or Yankees, you know that ownership will give you every opportunity to win. They especially will not cut corners in filling out a roster. If you play for the Astros, you hear about budget constraints and fiscal responsibility. Once upon a time, those words may have meant something.
No more. Baseball is awash in cash. Franchise values have soared. Revenues are healthy. The Astros could have afforded Jon Lieber.
The Rocket is going to be grilled about his supposed use of lidocaine and his refusal to speak to George Mitchell.

Whitney Houston has been busted by the sprinkler cops.
The pop diva, 39, has received a summons for violating New Jersey's water-use restrictions after police found lawn sprinklers running at the 10-acre estate she shares with husband Bobby Brown, the Newark's Star-Ledger reports.
"Nobody gets special treatment here," police Lt. Jim Hughes told the paper.
State officials imposed water-use restrictions last month because of East Coast drought conditions. Under the rules, residents are prohibited from watering lawns or washing cars, and they could face a $1,000 fine for breaking the ban.
Houston and Brown were not home at the time of the alleged sprinkler offense, said Houston's rep, Nancy Seltzer. "A judge will understand that someone taking care of the property obviously made a mistake," Seltzer said. "Whitney is very conscious about the environment, and she will care if, in fact, this (law) was breached."
Seltzer says Houston has been away while working on her upcoming album, "Just Whitney," due out in November. Her first single, "Whatchulookinat," which features Houston firing back at her critics, has been given a lukewarm reception from critics and radio.
Meanwhile, despite the couple's water problems, husband Bobby recently told "Extra" that their love is as solid as "a diamond."
"We love hard and we fight hard," Brown, 35, said. But he added, "You can't break a diamond and that's what our love is. A diamond."

Sometimes the best way to judge a pitcher is to based on his response when under duress.
Enter Hart's Tyler Glasnow, who struggled a bit with control early on Wednesday and had to pitch with his team behind nearly the entire game.
Glasnow's refusal to give in paid off in the seventh inning, when the Hart bats came up with two big runs that resulted in a 2-1 Foothill League victory over Saugus on Wednesday at Saugus High.
The senior right-hander tossed a complete game, allowing an earned run off three hits and striking out 11.
It spoiled another stellar outing by Saugus starter Justin Donatella, who also went the distance.
"(Glasnow) allowed us to hang around a little bit," said Hart head coach Jim Ozella. "It wasn't our best performance today, but he kept us within striking distance."
Pinch-hitter Garrett Gooding struck first for Hart (15-4, 6-2) in the seventh inning with the game on the line.
With Alex Tenorio on first base via a leadoff single, Gooding sent the ball into right field for an RBI double in his only at-bat of the game to knot things up at 1-1.
Two batters later, catcher Steve Rosso hit a lazy fly ball into shallow right field, but Saugus second baseman Dylan Freyre lost track of it and let it fall, scoring pinch-runner Renton Pexa from third.
The run was unearned, but it proved to be the eventual game-winner.
Donatella surrendered seven hits, struck out two and didn't walk a batter in a mostly formidable performance.
"Our guy deserved to win," said Saugus head coach John Maggiora. "As good as (Glasnow) was, our guy pitched as good or even better in some situations."
The Centurions (7-12, 2-6) took the 1-0 lead in the second inning when Glasnow hit two batters and gave up a single to load the bases. He then issued the game's only walk to Nick Warren to allow the first run to come across.
"I was trying to throw too hard and was pulling out and lost a lot of velocity," Glasnow said. "But I took a little bit of velocity off later on and I started locating a lot better."
It turned out less was more. He got out of the jam with an infield pop-out and a strikeout. After giving up the run, Glasnow retired 17 of the remaining 18 Saugus batters in the game.
"There's times when you don't have your great stuff, but you've got to maintain, and I thought he did a great job of doing that," Ozella said.
The Indians remain tied for first place in the league with Valencia while Saugus has now lost six of its last seven Foothill games.

History comes to life on Colonial Day
Published 5:15 pm, Wednesday, November 30, 2011
Brunswick Lower School students stepped back in time recently when they transformed themselves and Everett Gym on the King Street campus to a Colonial America general store. The annual Lower School event, known as Colonial Day, is the culmination of the fourth grade's study of colonization and officially kicks off a concentration unit on the American Revolution.
During the first half of the academic year, the boys take on the identities of colonial tradesmen living in Hingham, Mass. circa 1764 and remain in character while standing in their booths on Colonial Day. In preparation for the event, students work with a partner to research life as a particular colonial artisan. The various colonial professions include: blacksmith, silversmith, peddler, gunsmith, wig maker, hat maker, glassblower, weaver, candle maker, potter, sail maker, baker, metal cutter, tanner, printer, cooper and teacher. As they learn the ins and outs of their craft, the boys collect props, design shop signs and tool posters to aid them in creating their booth or "storefront."
"Colonial Day is an effective and fun way to study early colonization," said Kim Iorillo, Brunswick fourth grade teacher. "We compliment our research and preparation for the event with novels, field trips and work in our social studies book."
In addition to learning American history, Colonial Day teaches the boys how to work as a team, make presentations to parents and family members, and craft their public speaking skills.
When "colonial shoemakers" Jack Griffin and Marcelo Lejeane were asked why they immigrated to the new world, they responded in character, "We came to America for religious freedom and the opportunity to own our own land."
"Colonial Day is a highlight of the fourth grade experience and a time-honored tradition at Brunswick's Lower School," said Katie Signer, Brunswick Head of Lower School. "It is the culmination of many weeks of hard work and a wonderful way to make history come alive."

Its got the OS flatter nose and concave.
May 10, 2013Could I put some longboard trucks on this deck and use it for cruzing?
NHS Fun Factory replied
Yes but I would suggest using regular trucks and longboard/cruzer style wheels instead of longboard trucks because they are usually designed to turn with long longboard wheelbases and might turn a little too quick on a shorter board.

Nope. Only our completes and cruzers come pre gripped. For decks you have to buy the grip separately.

How to keep a healthy weight
Keeping to a healthy weight can help cut your risk of cancer and other serious diseases. Many people gain weight throughout their lives, often without realising it. The good news is that small changes to your lifestyle can lead to a reduction in bodyweight. The day-to-day choices we make about our lifestyle have the greatest effect on our weight.
To help keep a healthy weight for good, it's important to form long-term healthy habits, including eating a balanced diet and being physically active regularly. Most 'quick fix' or crash diets don't offer a long term solution and most people gain back the weight they lost. For more information on healthier choices, go to Weight Concern's Healthier Balance page or NHS Choices Change4Life or One You. Your GP practice, or a local support group, can also give you help and information on losing weight.
We know how difficult it can be to lose weight and keep it off. But you may not need to lose a lot of weight for your health to improve. If you are overweight, losing only a tenth of your body weight and keeping it off will make a difference. For most people this will be around 3-10kg or ½ - 1 ½ stone. However, if you are seriously overweight, or have other health problems, it may be advisable to seek advice from your doctor before beginning a weight management programme.
Jeff, a lorry driver from Portsmouth, lost 5 and a half stone by being creative about eating healthily and keeping active while out on the road.
What are the Ten Top Tips for a healthy weight?
Ten Top Tips is a programme for weight loss through lifestyle changes that you can fit into your daily routine. Developed by Cancer Research UK and Weight Concern these tips are based on the best scientific evidence and help you to make lifestyle changes to take in fewer calories through food and burn more calories through activity.
If you've tried to lose weight before, you might find this is a bit different as the aim is to form healthier habits that can last a lifetime. But some of the healthy choices here may be familiar and that means you can get off to a good start.
A habit is something you do automatically, like tying your shoelaces or brushing your teeth.
- Habits are formed when you do something over and over again in the same place or at the same time
- We know that habits can affect our health in different ways. For example, regularly having a second helping of dinner might make it more difficult to manage our weight
- Getting into a routine and practising the healthy tips every day, helps turn them into healthy habits
Sticking with all ten tips in the long term will help you lose weight safely and keep it off.
1. Keep to your meal routine. Try to eat at roughly the same times each day, whether this is two or five times a day. This will help you to avoid unplanned meals and snacks which are often high in calories.
Handy hints :
- Pick a pattern that fits your daily routine and stick to it.
- If you tend to snack, try to snack around the same time each day.
- Plan when you intend to eat and check at the end of the day if you have achieved this.
- If you're eating out at night, get into the habit of thinking about what you eat during the rest of the day. Don't skip meals - this might make you overeat later. Instead, plan to eat lighter meals earlier on in the day so you don't take in too many calories.
2. Go reduced fat. Choose reduced fat versions of foods such as dairy products, spreads and salad dressings. Use them sparingly as some can still be high in fat.
It is easy to overeat on foods like butter or spreads, salad dressings, mayonnaise, cheese, pastries, chips, biscuits and crisps. High fat foods contain a lot of energy, even in small portions. So without actually eating large amounts of food, you could be eating more calories than you can burn every day. And because you've not eaten that much, you may still feel hungry..
Handy hints:
- Change to semi-skimmed milk and save 60 calories a day (based on consuming 300mls of milk a day).
- Try to cut down on food that has been cooked in lots of oil or butter. For example, try steamed fish instead of fried fish, bruschetta instead of garlic bread, and steamed rice instead of egg fried rice.
- Try to avoid sauces based on cream or coconut milk. For example, you could have tandoori instead of a korma, a stir-fry or steamed Thai dish instead of a green curry, or a marinara instead of a carbonara.
3. Walk off the weight. Walk 10,000 steps (about 60-90 minutes of moderate activity) each day. You can use a pedometer to help count the steps. You can break up your walking over the day. For more information, visit our physical activity tips.
Handy hints:
- 5,000 extra steps a day (40 mins walking at a brisk pace) will burn 1, 240 calories over a week.
- Take the stairs rather than the lift.
4. Pack a healthy snack. If you snack, choose a healthy option such as fresh fruit or low calorie yogurts instead of chocolate or crisps.
Handy hints:
- Have a banana instead of a standard-size chocolate bar (46g) and save around 150 calories.
- Take a piece of fruit to work with you.
- Choose yoghurts with less than 100 calories per pot. The calcium will also keep your bones healthy.
For ideas on healthy alternatives to sugary snacks, go to Change4Life Sugar Smart.
5. Look at the labels. Be careful about food claims. Check the fat and sugar content on food labels when shopping and preparing food.
Handy hints:
- 'Low fat' doesn't always mean low in calories. For example, a low fat digestive biscuit has the same number of calories as a standard digestive biscuit at 70 calories. And low fat sausages, spreads and crisps are still high in fat compared to other foods.
- Remember that foods claiming to be 80% fat-free still have a 20% fat content!
- A 'portion' of food as defined by the manufacturer may not be the same as the amount that you would eat.
To find out more about how much sugar is in your food and drink, go to Change4Life Sugar Smart.
6. Caution with your portions. Don't heap food on your plate (except vegetables). Think twice before having second helpings.
Handy hints:
- Cook smaller quantities and eat off a smaller plate.
- Put away left-overs as soon as you've served your meal.
- Don't eat from the bag - place foods in a bowl or on a plate so you can see how much you're eating.
- If you're eating out, try sharing a starter or side dishes with a friend . Meals designed to be shared, like tapas or dim sum, can be healthy but be careful how many you order.
- Don't feel you have to clear your plate
7. Up on your feet. Breaking up your sitting time has many benefits beyond just weight loss. For more information, go to our physical activity tips.
Handy hints:
- Try standing rather than sitting for bus or train journeys.
- When watching TV, try to stand up during the ad breaks and do a few chores (e.g. wash the dishes or put the rubbish out).
8. Think about your drinks. Choose water or sugar-free squashes. Unsweetened fruit juice is high in natural sugar so limit it to one glass per day (200ml or 1/3 pint). Alcohol is high in calories so limit the amount you drink.
Handy hints:
- A pint of ordinary strength beer (3-4%) has two units of alcohol and 182 calories. Cutting down on alcohol can help with keeping a healthy weight and benefits your overall health. Alcohol also increases your appetite - some people notice that they tend to eat more when they drink alcohol.
- High street coffee shops offer a wide choice of drinks. Large drinks with lots of cream, milk or sugar can be loaded with fat and calories. Try buying smaller sizes, and asking for 'skinny' drinks that use skimmed milk. Try to avoid cream, flavoured syrup or sugary toppings. Use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk if you're making hot drinks at home.
9. Focus on your food. Slow down. Don't eat on the go or while watching TV. Eat at a table if possible.
Handy hints:
- Eating meals at the table will help you focus on the amount of food you eat.
- Don't eat while walking, wait until you get there.
10. Don't forget your 5 a day. Eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, whether fresh, frozen or tinned (400g in total).
Handy hints:
- A medium sized apple or banana or three heaped tablespoons of peas is one portion.
- Try having fruit or vegetables with every meal, this makes it easier to reach five a day.
- Many people see salads and vegetarian dishes as being automatically healthy. It is true that they are a good way of getting some fruit and vegetable portions into your meals. But pay attention to the ingredients and dressings - they can often be loaded with fat and sugar.
How can I turn the tips into habits?
The Ten Top Tips programme helps you incorporate the lifestyle changes into your daily routine so that they become automatic over time. To develop new healthy habits you need to:
- Plan ahead: Spend some time now planning how you will fit the tips into your daily routine. For example, think about how to include the extra walking into your day. Making a plan increases your chances of doing something.
- Be prepared: Do you need to do anything differently, for example pack walking shoes.
- Keep going: Do as many of the tips as you can each day. For each tip, doing it at a similar point in your everyday routine will make it easier to turn the tip into a habit. For example, you might decide to always have a piece of fruit at lunch time.
- Track your progress: Record-keeping increases success in developing healthy habits. Use the Ten Top Tips tick sheet to record if you do each tip. Keep this up until the tips become automatic.
You can also download a copy of the Ten Top Tips leaflet or order a copy from our publications site.
How can I help my children keep their weight healthy?
Often, children who are overweight need adult support to be able to make healthy changes to eating and activity. Body weight is a sensitive issue but an important one to discuss. Children as young as 5 can be unhappy about their weight and may need your help.
One important way of encouraging your children to lead a healthy lifestyle is to set a good example yourself. Try to get the whole family involved in healthy living. Keep a healthier selection of food at home, make time for healthy family meals together, and do activities together that everyone enjoys like walking, cycling or skating.
Weight Concern has plenty of tips and advice for talking to children about weight. For more tips on encouraging your children to eat healthily, visit our diet and healthy eating section. And for advice on encouraging your children to be active, go to the NHS Choices advice on 10 ways on getting your kids to be more active, or the Change4Life fun generator.

A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to terror charges for helping Somalis join a jihadi group.
Omer Abdi Mohamed, 26, pleaded guilty Monday to providing material support to terrorists and helping Somali Americans travel from Minneapolis to Somalia to take up arms with al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group.
Dozens of Somalis are believed to have gone back to their homeland to join al-Shabab.
Mohamed said he attended meetings at mosques and other locations where radicals raised money and made arrangements to send fighters to Somalia.
Prosecutors say that once in Somalia, the travelers joined al-Shabab insurgents, helping them to build a terror training camp where they received weapons training from al-Qaeda operatives.
Five other men have already pleaded guilty in the government's ongoing investigation, called "Operation Rhino" by federal agents.
Mohamed faces up to 15 years in prison.

Buffeted by the energy crisis and faced with Repsols failure to respect its obligations, the Argentine government which has for some years allowed the pillage of its biggest national enterprise - has finally realised a partial expropriation of YPF (51% of its shares) from the hands of the multinational Repsol. This has led to criticism and the threat of sanctions from Spain and the European Union. We consider that the attacks against Argentina from the Spanish government, other imperialist countries and some Latin American governments are an attempt to continue the super-exploitation and blackmail exerted over the Latin American countries by the Spanish, European or US multinationals,
The struggle for the full recuperation of natural and energy resources traverses the whole of Latin America. That is why we call upon the working class and the peoples of Latin America, Spain and Europe to unite their voices and reject all attacks and economic aggression against Argentina, to defend the rights of each sovereign people to take control of its resources and expropriate the multinationals; to fight so that the wealth of each country like oil, gas, minerals or water are under the social control of the workers and citizens. It is thus that we can ensure a use that respects nature and that profits are reinvested for the majority of the population rather than a privileged minority.
We also believe that in the context of the legitimate right of each people to dispose of its natural resources, the decision of the Argentine government is a step still fairly distant from the objective because it maintains YPF as a public limited company whereas outside of YPF the multinationals continue in Argentina to administer most oil production and export. That is a situation which must change so as to win full energy sovereignty.
To take up the rich history of Argentine and the struggle of several generations of its oil workers, we rely on the Argentine social and political organisations which can develop a campaign to obtain a YPF which is 100% owned by the state and the Argentine people in the context of the full nationalisation of oil production under social control.

- 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth
- 6 medium carrots, thinly sliced

"Made this tonight and it was wonderful!! Used baby carrots because that's what I had. Never know what "12 cloves of garlic" means in teaspoons due to every head being different. I put browned beef right into slow cooker as everything gets stirred together anyways. I like more colour so 30 minutes before it was done I added some frozen peas and corn together with left over seasoned flour from browning beef. Thanks Alissa."
