True.

When I last looked at oil supply/demand, I did not see any huge supply shortages. In fact, it appeared that with demand slacking off in the OECD countries but still growing, albeit at a lower rate, in BRIC and emerging economies, POO should grow slowly but steadily for the rest of the year. Perhaps even stabilize or even retreat if growth slows down globally. The recent [early '08 on] spike makes no sense to me so I got out. If this rise is speculatively driven, the risk of a downturn might be substantial. But so would the opportunity to get back in cheaper.

Local vet: Lack of steroids may have been factor for Big Brown.

Like millions of horse racing fans, Richard Alker was captivated by the possibility of Big Brown winning the Triple Crown Saturday in the Belmont Stakes.

And just like many of them, Alker has a theory to why the thoroughbred suddenly came up empty when urged on by jockey Kent Desormeaux.

Alker is the veterinarian at the Panama City Animal Hospital and Equine Center and a thoroughbred owner. He believes that Big Brown was a healthy horse during the Belmont. He thinks, however, that skipping a scheduled monthly injection of the anabolic steroid Winstrol combined with excessive heat and fatigue produced Big Brown's disappointing finish.
