Carlos Fidel Rueda was born in Culiacan, Sinaloa, on March 23, 1983. His father kept an squeeze box fabrication around the house at all times, and Fidel soon took to outlay his spare time playing the pawn. As Fidel's skill improved, he started vocalizing as well. It was not long before he was invited to play for parties and events in the country. In order to platter and do more often, Rueda formed a chemical group, Los Buitres de Culiacan. After a few years gaining go through, the band released its number one record album, entitled Que Role la Bolsita, under the Discos Sol label. The disc was easily received, but it was the followup, Solo Para Mi, that open up doors to perform end-to-end the region. As the band gained identification, its release with the Herca Music label, Limonadas Verdes, coagulated the group's popularity with the world. In 2006 Rueda chose to rip from the striation he had helped to make -- out of defeat with the record book mark and his deficiency of control over repertory and artistic decisions, Rueda chose to go solo. With an experimental well-grounded featuring only when drums, a few horns, and piano accordion, Rueda released his solo debut in 2007. The disc, entitled Paz en Este Amor, became a regional smash come to. Released by Universal's Machete Music, the disc landed a spot on the Billboard charts in both the Regional Mexican Airplay and Hot Latin Tracks categories.

Jamie Oliver - Oliver Unhappy With Government Approach To School Meals
Jamie Oliver had criticised the government for its refusal to commit to long-term plans over healthy school dinners.
The celebrity chef launched a high-profile campaign to improve the quality of meals in UK schools after his Jamie's School Dinners TV programme had uncovered a worrying amount of junk food on the menu of schools across Britain.
A government white paper introduced in 2004 introduced tougher minimum standards for school meals and outlined a new vocational qualification for school catering staff in a bid to press the promotion of healthy eating.
But speaking at the Hay Festival in Powys, Oliver related his continuing frustration at the government's approach to the issue.
"I've been through three education secretaries and two prime ministers," he told interviewer Rosie Boycott.
"They won't commit to a ten-year plan."
He continued: "I think feeding our kids is the cogs of our country. It shouldn't have anything to do with politics. But I am trying to pace myself so I'm shutting up about it for around 18 months."
The TV chef said he had been disheartened by the quality of many children's packed lunches - even seeing some with lunchboxes containing the Red Bull energy drink and McDonald's fast food - and pressed the need for teaching children to cook.
"Food is so important and we have let it go," he told the audience. "Kids should be able to leave school and know how to make a stew or a stir fry."
In response to Oliver's remarks, a spokesperson for the School Food Trust, the government body set up in 2005 to improve school meals, said the agency recognised the long-term needs of transforming food in schools.
"After an entirely expected difficult start there's no doubt that the corner's been turned," she told the BBC.
"So while nobody's expecting to see a massive change over night the truth is that everyone is completely committed to this for the future."

Angelina Jolie - Jole Forgives Black For Baby Blunder
Actress ANGELINA JOLIE has forgiven JACK BLACK for telling the world about her pregnancy.
The star, 32, confirmed she is expecting twins during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival last month (14May08), after her Kung Fu Panda co-star accidentally let slip the news to a TV reporter.
But Black insists Jolie was relieved the news was made public.
He says, "Later she told me she was relieved because she and Brad (Pitt) didn't want to hold in the secret."
And Black insists Jolie never told him she was expecting: "I think my wife told me? She'd just read it in some rag. Then I thought that was common knowledge."
