Upgrading to Vista? Think Mac

It's time to get a Mac. If you're thinking of upgrading to Vista, you'll probably need a new computer. Why not get a Mac? It's simpler, more secure, and way more fun. And it works with the stuff you already have, like printers and cameras. So before you upgrade anything, you owe it to yourself to check out a Mac.

If cod is so scarce, why can I still buy it?
WHO, WHAT, WHY?
The Magazine answers...

Cod and chips
The national dish
North Sea cod are in danger of dying out without a complete fishing ban, scientists say. So where does the cod on the fish counter or in the chippie come from?

Cod has long been a firm favourite in the UK, whether served in batter with chips, nestled in a fish pie or given the full gastro treatment. Britons eat one-third of all the cod consumed in the world, and 85% of cod caught in European waters is destined for our plates.

But our taste for cod has dangerously depleted stocks in the cold, deep waters around the UK. Tough fishing quotas were introduced in 2004, and campaigners have urged retailers to sell only cod from sustainable sources.

So why, as scientists at the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea warn for the fifth year running that a complete fishing ban is the only way to revive North Sea stocks, is the fish still for sale?

The majority of cod for sale on fish counters in supermarkets and in frozen meals is from sustainable sources such as Iceland or the Barents Sea, or from the Baltic, where over-fishing has not been such a problem, says WWF's fisheries policy officer, Tom Pickerell.

"This means the consumer doesn't have to make a conscious decision to buy cod from sustainable stocks - they just do."


WHO, WHAT, WHY?
Who, What, Why
A regular feature in the BBC News Magazine - aiming to answer some of the questions behind the headlines
So who buys the small amount of cod still being legally fished in the North Sea? The 2006 quota is just 23,000 tonnes - a 70% reduction on the amount fished in the 1970s.

"A bit goes to catering. A bit goes to fish and chip shops. A bit goes to frozen food firms. And a bit goes to local fish markets on the North Sea coast," says Oliver Knowles, oceans campaigner at Greenpeace.

All of which can be more anonymous about where their fish is sourced from, unlike the major supermarkets, most of which have begun to make a virtue of where their fish comes from.

A year ago, Greenpeace published a league table of how the UK's leading supermarkets fared when it came to selling seafood from sustainable sources. Only two of the nine major chains - Marks and Spencer and Waitrose - had policies to do so, and so only sold line-caught cod from Iceland.

Twelve months on, seven of the nine have made commitments to sell only sustainable seafood, including Morrisons and Asda, which last year languished at the bottom of the league table.

Recipe for change

Likewise, when eating out, the type of venue that will declare the green credentials of their cod - if it is on the menu at all - is the type of venue that goes in for seasonal and organic produce.

Cod
Cod stocks are under pressure
And while there have been sightings of the occasional chippie that refuses to sell cod, provenance isn't much of a selling point in the deep-frying industry. Which is not to say that that fish supper includes cod from at-risk stocks. "A lot of it will now come from sustainable sources because it's a guaranteed supply," says Mr Pickerell.

But buying cod from where supplies are - for now - plentiful is not the answer. That simply shifts pressure around the globe.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has warned that three-quarters of commercially valuable fish stocks around the world are over-exploited, and that 90% of species such as cod and swordfish have already been lost.

Nor is it simply a matter of eating different types of fish. Environmental campaigners want a ban on beam-trawling, which drags heavy nets along the seabed - 70% of what's caught is thrown back, dead or dying, and at-risk cod is also caught this way by fishing boats chasing haddock and whiting.

"We're strip-mining fish from the sea," says Mr Knowles. "We need to look at where our fish comes from, and how it comes from the sea."

But that isn't to say we should stop eating fish, says Mr Pickerell. "You can eat fish three times a week - and if that means cod once a week, that's fine. But try different species and only buy sustainably-caught fish."

Funeral sem benção

O funeral do homem que lutou pela morte ultrapassou a esfera familiar.

Mil e quinhentas pessoas encheram as ruas de Roma, Itália, para acompanhar o funeral do italiano Piergiorgio Welby que há anos reclamava o direito à eutanásia. A Igreja Católica recusou celebrar as cerimónias fúnebres.

O padre da paróquia de Piergiorgio welby foi impedido de realizar a cerimónia relegiosa pela hierarquia católica.

Indignadas com a posição da Igreja, milhares de pessoas quiseram manifestaram-se solidárais com a opção do sexagenário e da sua família.

Piergiorgio Welby, com 60 anos, sofria de distrofia muscular desde a adolescência. Há anos que estava preso a uma cama devido à crescente paralisia dos músculos.

Em Setembro, enviou uma carta ao Presidente italiano, depois recorreu aos tribunais. Queria que lhe desligassem o ventilador. A recusa do juíz foi conhecida sábado.

A batalha de Piergiorgio Welby não foi ganha nos tribunais mas sim graças a um médico que o ajudou a morrer. Um "cocktail" de medicamentos permitiu a Welby falecer em casa, rodeado de familiares e amigos.

O médico já se mostrou disponível para uma audiência com um magistrado. Apesar de correr o risco de ser condenado a 15 anos de prisão. Acredita que não violou a lei.

A igreja tem uma leitura bem definida destes casos. Contra a eutanásia, defende os tratamentos paliativos.
in sic

Só quem não tem familiares em situações de manutenção de vida assistida de máquinas, não percebe o desespero e o desgaste psicológico e emocional que o mesmo e a família passa.

Não se prolonga a vida destas pessoas. Prolonga-se a agonia e a dor. Prolonga-se uma luta contra uma morte horrível porque até que ela chegar, inúmeras infecções e problemas irão aparecer. A sanidade perde-se e a loucura invade nos. A morte espreita, anseia-se mas não aparece.

Nestes casos não faz a sociedade um homícidio a longo prazo?

O Tamanho em Prespectiva

Feliz Natal

CONDUZAM PELA DIREITA!!!!

Este é o meu único pedido..
Por favor façam-me lá a vontade..

Eu que faço a A5 quase todos os dias consigo, sem ultrapassar o limite de velocidade, fazer toda a auto-estrada na faixa da direita, enquanto passo carros que circulam na faixa do meio a velocidades mais baixas. Atenção, eu disse passo e não ultrapasso pela direita. É que se eu circular sempre pela direita não estou a ultrapassar, algo que qualquer advogado ou agente da autoridade vos pode confirmar. Quantas vezes eu já não fiz a ponte 25 de Abril pela direita sempre a passar carros que vão pelo meio..

Circular pela faixa do meio sem estar a ultrapassar é ilegal e como tal dá direito a multa. O mesmo se aplica a circular sempre na esquerda.. Por muito depressa que vamos há sempre alguém que quer ir mais depressa, por isso vamos lá encostar à direita e deixemos esses apressados passar. O facto deles irem a violar o código da estrada não nos obriga a fazer o mesmo..

Circulem pela direita e boas festas...

Ela, Carolina

What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now

---

---

• In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
• 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get it’s hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
• 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
• 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
• >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
• >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
• >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.
