Britney Spears’ masterplan is working

At an emergency hearing this week, Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered that Britney Spears won’t be allowed to drive with her children in the car anymore. After running a red light last week while driving with her children and the court appointed monitor, Kevin Federline’s lawyers set an emergency hearing which resulted in the new Britney ban. It looks like Britney’s master plan to avoid having any responsibility for her children altogether is working.

Victoria (Beckham’s) Secret

Victoria Beckham performed at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, with the rest of the spice rack as her backup. This was the first live performance of the newly reunited Spice Girls — although I suppose that they’re banking on Victoria’s “popularity” now (if popularity means being vaguely associated with crazy Tom Cruise and his poor brainwashed beard, Katie Holmes). I’m pretty sure that Victoria’s Secret only asked her to perform because her name happens to be Victoria. It’s pretty hard to find people with that name nowadays. I mean, I honestly can’t think of any other reason that they would choose a has-been pop star who can’t sing to pose and frown at people who really only want to see whether or not Heidi Klum actually has nipples.

Britney Spears, driver license

Britney Spears is having a really great month for driving. According to TMZ, she drove over yet another photographer’s foot at the Four Seasons in Beverley Hills.
“The paps refused to move, despite several warnings and documented footage of how Britney rolls. Moments later, Brit shockingly rolled her new wheels over a guy’s foot.”
Okay, so according to the information that we’ve been given on Britney Spears recently, including the fact that she runs red lights with children in the car, has narcolepsy, is basically an alcoholic, and uses her cell phone while driving…why hasn’t her license been taken away? Seriously, I think that the police out there use her as entertainment. They totally have bets going about whether she’ll kill a pedestrian or a photographer first. Me? I’m just entertained by the things she wears and the fact that she feels the need to do shit to her face. Check out the lips.

Britney Spears runs a red light

It’s almost a joke, how bad of a mother Britney Spears is. The other night, while driving with her children and the court-appointed monitor in the car, Spears attempted to use her cell phone. In the process of either calling or texting someone, Spears drove through a red light, narrowly escaping a crash. According to TMZ:
The Popwreck approached the light slowly on Coldwater Canyon. You then see Britney raise her cellphone to her face. It is unclear if she’s texting or making a call. She then drives into the intersection as someone outside the car screams, “Red light, red light!” Britney then turns left onto Mulholland Drive, managing to miss oncoming traffic.
It seems as though Britney is quite desperately trying to get rid of her children all together. She’s practically begging to have them taken away. The next thing we know, she’ll have “accidentally” left them locked in a Wal-Mart bathroom overnight, before going to the airport to fly to another country. Someone, please, save these children!

Claudia Schiffer gets even hotter

Claudia Schiffer stepped out of retirement to be photographed for the Chanel campaign by Karl Lagerfield in St. Tropez, France. Wearing a thong and a sheer dress, Schiffer looks amazingly much like she did ten years ago…while her ex, David Copperfield, looks older and creepier by the day. Do we need any more evidence that women age better than men?

Halle Berry ’s BAFTA

While most women try to hide their post-pregnancy weight, the beauty gods have once again shone down on Halle Berry because apparently all her weight went straight to her boobs based on the grand view she gave the audience at the BAFTA Awards the other night. They’re so enormous that it seems like a physical impossibility that her dress is actually holding them in.

Rhianna and a random girl

Who knows when these pictures of Rhianna grabbing another girl’s boobs came out, but quite honestly I think that even if they’re from after she met Josh Hartnett he wouldn’t mind all that much. It’s funny, this sort of echoes how Rhianna likes to try to be a grown-up by saying things about Hartnett being “lovely” and then calling him “so hot” five seconds later. What do we gather from this? That she’s still a teenager…albeit a really gorgeous, famous one.

Christina Aguilera announces her pregnancy

Although everyone’s known since Paris Hilton spilled the beans, Christina Aguilera has publicly announced her pregnancy. According to OK!:
“I want to get it right,” the 26-year-old is quoted as telling Glamour magazine about her future child, the first for her and hubby of two years Jordan Bratman. “I’m a lucky girl.”As for Jordan’s feelings about the news? “He’s so supportive and amazing through everything.”
Oh, so this is what happy, normal parenting looks like. Funny, I’d almost forgotten with all this Britney motherhood-on-trash nonsense.

Jessica Simpson takes a spill

Jessica Simpson nearly took a spill last night when exiting her limo at the Ace Awards in New York City. The heel of her shoe got stuck in the sidewalk and for a moment that fake veneer dropped and we got to see what she’d look like if she weren’t posing all the time. If all her shoes are this dangerous, I wouldn’t recommend buying them anytime soon.

Victoria Beckham

Der er ikke så meget som et gram overflødigt fedt på hendes tændstiktynde krop.
Og derfor er Victoria Beckham blevet sat på en kur, hvor hun skal spise mere. Ellers er hun ikke i stand til rent fysisk at klare Spice Girls' kommende verdensturné, som skydes i gang til december.
Som det er nu, lever Posh næsten udelukkende af dampet fisk og soyabønner. Og det går måske an, når ens hverdag består af shoppe-ture og kendis-arrangementer.
Men det holder ikke, når turnéen starter, og Victoria, sammen med de andre kryddersild, skal give den gas på scenen.
Derfor skal Victoria på en kur, hvor hun skal spise fem portioner brun ris med dampede grøntsager om dagen foruden masser af nødder og korn.
En kilde fortæller til Daily Mail: "Hun er rædselsslagen for at tage så meget som et gram på, og derfor har det været en kamp at få hendes overtalt til at spise mere. Det ville være pinligt for hende, hvis hun besvimer eller bliver dårlig på scenen, fordi hun er for svag."

Ny bog fra Harry Potters mor

J.K. Rowling er færdig med sin første bog, som ikke handler om Harry Potter, Men "Fortællingerne om barden Beedle", som Rowling selv har illustreret, er kun trykt i syv eksemplarer.

1. november 2007, 13:55 Af MAGGIE SVARSTAD maggie@bt.dk

Mens de syv bøger om troldmandslærlingen Harry er solgt i 400 mio eksemplarer over hele verden, så er J.K. Rowlings nye bog med magiske fortællinger bestemt ikke tilgængelig for alle og enhver.

"The Tales of Beedle the Bard" ("Fortællingerne om barden Beedle"), som er en håndskrevet bog med forfatterens egne tegninger, skal nemlig først og fremmest skaffe en masse penge til nødhjælpsorganisationen Childrens Voice. Og derfor er den også kun trykt i syv eksemplarer.

De seks skal bruges til gaver. Mens nummer syv bliver solgt på auktion hos Sotheby's i næste måned. Og vil man være med om buddet, så skal den store tegnebog findes frem. Buddene starter nemlig på 350.000 kroner.

Panda-kærlighed på japansk

To røde pandaer i den japanske Yumemigasaki Zoo i Kawasaki er blevet havens helt store attraktion. De to små dyr har nemlig forelsket sig vildt og inderligt i hinanden og krammer i op til ti minutter ad gangen.

1. november 2007, 15:13 Af MAGGIE SVARSTAD maggie@bt.dk

Pandaerne har kommet godt ud af det sammen i mange år, og deres kysseri sker ofte i parringstiden. Men aldrig så meget som år. Så jeg går ud fra, at de simpelt hen har forelsket sig i hinanden, siger den zoologiske haves direktør.

På trods af deres heftige omfavnelser og hede kys, så har det japanske pandapar endnu ikke produceret noget afkom. Men det gør ikke noget, for bare synet af det forelskede par, som i øvrigt begge hedder Yuyu, fortryller alle.

Bare at se dem kysse gør mit hjerte.

Verdict due on Madrid train bombs

Security forces are on alert before a Spanish court delivers its verdict on the March 2004 Madrid train bombings, the country's largest terror trial.

A three-judge panel will read out its verdict and sentences at 1100 (1000 GMT) on Wednesday.
Twenty-eight men faced trial over the devastating nail-bomb blasts that hit four commuter trains, killing 191 people and injuring more than 1,500.
All the accused pleaded innocent during the four-month trial.

'Doubts remain'
The defendants - 19 mostly Moroccan Arabs and nine Spaniards - face charges including murder, forgery and conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack over the 11 March 2004 blasts.
The top eight defendants each face nearly 39,000 years in jail if found guilty on all charges, but under Spanish law the maximum sentence for terrorism is 40 years.

Spanish investigators say the accused were part of a local Islamist militant group inspired by al-Qaeda, but had no direct links to the terror organisation.
Fourteen of the accused went on hunger strike during the trial, in protest against what they called unjust accusations against them.
Seven suspected ringleaders died in a suicide blast in a Madrid apartment three weeks after the attacks.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero says he hopes the ruling will "give a definitive answer to those who have put forth absurd and despicable doubts about 11 March".
Many Spaniards still have serious doubts about who was behind the attacks, says the BBC's Danny Wood in Madrid.
Some theories - supported by a number of victims - suggest they were part of a coup d'etat involving Spain's secret services.
But many others believe the verdict will clear up such doubts, and regard it as a key step towards recovery, our correspondent says.
Memorial services are planned for a week after the verdict.

Warning over net address limits

Internet Service Providers urgently need to roll out the next generation of net addresses for online devices, internet pioneer Vint Cerf has said.

Every device that goes online is allocated a unique IP address but the pool of numbers is finite and due to run out around 2010.
A new system, called IPv6, has been awaiting roll out for 10 years.
Unless IPv6 is switched on in the coming years, some devices might not be able to go online, Mr Cerf has warned.
Mr Cerf, who played a key role in the development of the protocols which underpin the global net, said: "There is a risk of not being able to get online."
He added: "The rate of consumption of available remaining IPv4 numbers appears to be on track to run out in 2010/11."
Mr Cerf is about to step down as chairman of Icann, the body which oversees the net, and is also Google's chief internet evangelist.
Potential shortage
The current system, called IPv4 provides four billion addresses but the explosion in the number of devices which go online has led to the potential shortage.
Although IPv6 was standardised 10 years ago it has not been rolled out at speed.
While modern computers, servers, routers and other online devices are able to use IPv6, internet service providers have yet to implement the system.
"The reason they haven't - which is quite understandable - is that customers haven't asked for it yet," said Mr Cerf, adding, "my job, whether with my Icann hat on or not, is to persuade them to ask for it.
"If you don't ask for it, then when you most want it you won't have it."
IPv6 will create 340 trillion trillion trillion separate addresses, enough to satisfy demand for decades to come.
"To be clear - if we finally exhaust the IPv4 pool it doesn't mean the internet stops working. But people wanting an IPv4 address won't get one. "
"If there is an internet that does not support IPv6, not getting an IPv4 address means not getting on the net."
He added: "The appreciation of the importance of getting IPv6 into operation is very much more visible than before.
"I'm anticipating in 2008 a substantial increase of use of IPv6, introduced in parallel with IPv4."
One complicating factor is that IPv6 and IPv4 are not compatible so ISPs will have to run the two systems in parallel - adding to costs.
In Asia, governments in China, Korea and Japan have begun to lead roll out of IPv6 and the European Union is reviewing methods to encourage adoption.

Court grants Spears child visits

Britney Spears can have three monitored visits a week with her two small sons, a US court commissioner has ruled.

But the pop star must undergo random weekly drug and alcohol tests and continue to receive parenting classes.
Ms Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline was granted full custody of Sean Preston, aged two, and one-year-old Jayden James on 1 October.
In September, the same court official cited Ms Spears' "habitual, frequent and continuous" drugs and alcohol use.
Scott Gordon has previously granted Ms Spears visitation rights only to suspend them on her failure to comply with court orders. He later restored the visits, but on condition they were attended by a court-approved monitor.
In Tuesday's ruling Ms Spears was granted two afternoons and one full night per week with her two sons.
But as conditions for the visits to take place, she was also ordered to childproof her house, work out a schedule for the visits with Mr Federline, and use car seats when driving her children around.
'Chaotic'
The judgement comes after a three-hour hearing last Friday, which both Ms Spears, 25, and Mr Federline, 29, attended.
Detailed testimony was presented, from Ms Spears' parenting coach Lisa Hacker among others. Ms Hacker's report concluded that the singer loved her sons and that they were bonded to her.
But it also criticised Ms Spears, calling the atmosphere at her home "chaotic" and saying she rarely played with or spoke to the boys.
"It seems that her choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children," Ms Hacker said in her assessment.
A full evaluation of the custody arrangements is not expected to be completed until mid-January, according to news agency Reuters.

Burma army 'recruiting children'

The Burmese army is forcibly recruiting children to cover gaps left by a lack of adult recruits, says a report by a US-based human rights organisation.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) says children as young as 10 are beaten or threatened with arrest to make them enlist.
Burma has previously said it is working towards preventing the recruitment of children by the military.
HRW has urged the UN Security Council to do more to punish Burma over its alleged use of child soldiers.

False documents
The report, entitled "Sold to be Soldiers: The Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers in Burma" says there are thousands of children in the Burmese military.
It claims that children are approached in public places by military recruiters and civilian brokers who have been promised cash rewards by the military.
The children are often beaten or threatened with arrest to force them to enlist, the report says.
It is claimed that recruiting officers routinely falsify enlistment documents to register children as being 18, the legal minimum age for recruitment.
One child quoted in the report says he was forced to lie about his age when he was recruited for a second time.
"When I said I was 16, I was slapped and he said, 'You are 18, answer 18.'
"I just wanted to go back and home and I told them, but they refused."

'Blatant recruitment'
The child recruits are deployed to battalions after an average of 18 weeks training, the report says.
They are often reportedly sent into combat immediately, or forced to take part in activities, such as burning villages, which can be classified as human rights abuses.
Jo Becker, children's rights advocate for HRW, said Burma is "literally buying and selling children" to fill the ranks.
"The government's senior generals tolerate the blatant recruitment of children and fail to punish perpetrators," she said.
"In this environment, army recruiters traffic children at will."
Ms Becker said that the recent military crackdown had put off many of those potential recruits who were not already deterred by poor conditions and low pay.
"After deploying its soldiers against Buddhist monks and other peaceful demonstrators, the government may find it even harder to find willing volunteers," she said.
The Burmese ruling junta says it has formed a high-level committee to address the issue of child soldiers.
However, Ms Becker described the committee as "a sham", saying the government must address the issue head-on and demobilise all children.

International pressure
There remains widespread international concern about human rights in Burma.
Thousands of people are thought to have been detained following September's military crackdown.
The UN Security Council is due to meet soon to discuss the use of child soldiers in Burma.
HRW has accused the Security Council of not taking any action to address the issue, despite stating repeatedly that it would consider targeted sanctions.
The group has urged the UN to impose travel restrictions and arms embargos if the situation does not improve.

Científicos logran prometedores resultados en estudio sobre el cáncer

Plantean la posibilidad de prevenir la enfermedad mediante la destrucción de células infectadas antes de que se conviertan en cancerosas

Washington, (EFE).- Científicos estadounidenses han demostrado por primera vez que muchos tipos de cáncer pueden combatirse mediante un ataque frontal sobre los virus que los causan, reveló un estudio publicado por la revista PloS One.
Según los científicos del Colegio de Medicina Albert Einstein de la Universidad Yeshiva, en Nueva York, el resultado de su investigación plantea la posibilidad de prevenir la enfermedad mediante la destrucción de células infectadas antes de que se conviertan en cancerosas.
Casi el 20% de los cánceres que afectan al ser humano tienen como origen principal infecciones virales preexistentes.
Entre ellos se incluyen el cáncer hepático, causado por los virus de la hepatitis B y C, el cáncer cervical, causado por el virus papiloma humano, y ciertos tipos de linfomas.
Los investigadores utilizaron una técnica llamada radioinmunoterapia, mediante la cual insertaron radioisótopos en los anticuerpos.
Una vez inyectados, esos anticuerpos atacan una proteína específica y el radioisótopo destruye la célula donde se encuentra esa proteína, según explicaron.
Para probar su teoría en ratones, los científicos insertaron el radioisótopo rhenium en anticuerpos monoclonales dirigidos contra un antígeno que se manifiesta virtualmente en todas las células del cáncer cervival.
También prepararon la radioinmunoterapia contra el cáncer hepático insertando el mismo radioisótopo a anticuerpos monoclonales contra HBx, un antígeno viral de las células cancerosas que aparecen en el hígado.
Posteriormente, los roedores que padecían una forma de tumores cervicales o hepáticos fueron tratados con la terapia.
Según los científicos, en ambos casos la radioinmunoterapia redujo de manera considerable del crecimiento tumoral en comparación con otros no tratados.
"La radioinmunoterapia tuvo resultados no sólo contra esos cánceres, sino que además la radiactividad se limitó totalmente a las masas tumorales sin dañar los tejidos sanos", señaló Ekaterina Dadachova, profesora de medicina nuclear y Microbiología e Inmunología de Albert Einstein.

Angelina Jolie var inviteret som gæstetaler konferencen med det meget lange navn 'The Flight Of The Hummingbird – The Future Of Children In The Mind And Society Of The World', der bliver holdt i Pio Manzu Centret nær Rimini, Italien.
Jolie måtte pludselig melde afbud - og det fik de italienske aviser til at løbe over med nyheden om, at Jolie venter endnu et barn.
Talskvinde bekræfterEn talskvinde for centret, Letizia Manjani, viste sig at være ualmindeligt dårlig til at holde på en hemmelighed, da The Sun udspurgte hende om graviditeten:
- Angelina aflyste i sidste uge. Af respekt for hendes privatliv kan jeg ikke bekræfte hendes graviditet, men jeg kan sige, at de italienske avisers rapporter er korrekte, sagde talskvinden til engelske The Sun.
I sidste måned udtalte Brad Pitt i et interview, at parret var klar til at få et barn mere. Det bliver deres femte barn.

Scarlett: Jeg elsker dansk mad

Den sexede Hollywood-stjerne fortæller i nyt interview om sin kærlighed til København og den udskældte danske husmandskost

Traditionel dansk mad har fået mange stryg over flæskesværene i løbet af det sidste årti. Men den udskældte brune sovs og de forhadte frikadeller har stadig en trofast fanskare. Blandt andet filmstjernerrnen Scarlett Johansson, datter af den danske arkitekt Karsten Johansson. Hun afslører sin hang til dansk husmandskost i et nyt interview med det australske magasin Health & Fitness: – Min far er dansk, hvilket gør mig til halvdansker. Men jeg er født og opvokset i New York. Derfor opfatter jeg ikke mig selv som europæer. Jeg er dog i Danmark i ny og næ. Det er faktisk ikke særlig længe siden, at jeg var i København, fordi jeg har fået en lille niece. – Jeg elsker byen og er lykkelig, når jeg er der. Jeg bliver også rigtig fed. Jeg kan simpelt hen ikke holde snitterne fra al den dejlige danske mad, erklærer Hollywood-stjernen, der har en 39-årig dansk halvbror, Ian Johansson. Tilhænger af plastikoperationer22-årige Scarlett er flere gange blevet kåret til verdens mest sexede kvinde og udelukker ikke, at hun vil ty til plastikkirurgi for at beholde det berømmede udseende: – Jeg er stor tilhænger af plastikoperationer. Jeg vil ikke ende som en gammel heks.– Det ville være for deprimerende, udtaler Scarlett, der har følgende skønhedstip til sine medsøstre: – Jeg har altid været dårlig til at give andre gode råd. Men min mor fortalte mig engang, at jeg altid skulle huske at vaske mit ansigt med sæbe, før jeg gik i seng. Det råd har jeg fulgt, og det har tjent mig godt, konstaterer sexsymbolet med de gode danske gener.

Brasil será la sede del Mundial de fútbol del 2014, anunció la FIFA

El país de la samba organizará por segunda vez este torneo. Antes lo hizo en 1950, cuando su selección perdió la final con Uruguay, en el recordado 'maracanazo'

Zurich (Reuters) - Brasil organizará el Mundial de fútbol del 2014, informó el martes la FIFA. El presidente de la entidad que rige el fútbol a nivel mundial, el suizo Joseph Blatter, confirmó que el país sudamericano se quedó con la sede de la competencia. Brasil, que era el único candidato y organizó el Mundial del 1950, se convierte en el primer país sudamericano en ser sede mundialista desde Argentina en 1978. De esta forma, Brasil es la quinta nación que es sede del Mundial en dos oportunidades, después de México (1970 y 1986), Francia (1938 y 1998), Alemania Occidental, Alemania (1974 y 2006) e Italia (1934 y 1990). La selección de Brasil es pentacampeona mundial y es la única que participó de las 18 Copas disputadas hasta el momento. Brasil fue el único candidato nominado por al Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CSF). Según la política de rotación de la FIFA, abandonada el lunes, Sudamérica debía recibir la Copa en 2014, después de Europa (Alemania) en 2006 y Africa (Sudáfrica) en 2010.

Hallaron huellas de pies y manos de hace 5 mil años en Caral

Huellas de pies y manos que datan de hace aproximadamente cinco mil años encontró el equipo de arqueólogos del Proyecto Caral, sobre el piso de la también descubierta plaza circular "TinkuyMituKancha", al norte de Lima.

El anuncio lo hizo la arqueóloga, y responsable del Proyecto Especial Arqueológico Caral- Supe, Ruth Shady, dentro del marco de celebraciones por el décimo tercer aniversario de presentación de la civilización más antigua de América.
Shady, informó que además localizaron los restos de un infante, de aproximadamente dos años, adornado con cuencas cilíndricas de material orgánico y ofrendas de textiles quemados.
“TinkuyMituKancha” -o plaza de la integración- se ubica entre la Pirámide Mayor y Pirámide la Cantera, construcciones de piedra que forman parte del complejo arqueológico más antiguo del continente.
Las huellas se encuentran dispersas, afirma la estudiosa, y aparecen como si se dirigieran hacia distintas direcciones “como si sus protagonistas danzaran en una ceremonia ritual”, explicó durante la presentación del hallazgo.
“Este descubrimiento nos transmite un mensaje simbólico a la sociedad peruana actual. En esta zona construida que hemos mostrado, se puede observar la división dual que separa un espacio de color amarillo, de otro gris. Ambos habrían sido ocupados en un ritual, por grupos diferenciados que llegaban a un entendimiento en la mitad superior de esta edificación”, dijo.
La arqueóloga chalaca sostiene que el mensaje simbólico es de la integración, que podemos tener diferencias culturales, sociales o políticas, pero cuando se trata de sacar adelante obras que beneficien al país la confluencia de esfuerzos debe darse.
Explicó que esa práctica, el ritual de integración, se habría producido por las autoridades de entonces, para transmitir a la población que las diferencias no deben afectar los intereses comunes.
“Nosotros queremos que la arqueología del Perú le de al pueblo peruano de hoy, el mensaje de vincular el pasado con el presente, que dejemos las diferencias cuando se trate de beneficiar a la sociedad en su conjunto”, manifestó.
El equipo de arqueólogos, también presentó la fachada sur de la Pirámide de la Galería, tercera edificación de grandes dimensiones que conforman la ciudad sagrada.
La civilización más antigua de América, se encuentra en el kilómetro 184 de la carretera Panamericana Norte, a tres horas del centro de la capital, Lima.
Hace 13 años, Ruth Shady, junto a un equipo de arqueólogos inició las investigaciones y conservación de este patrimonio cultural, y también comenzó a difundirlo y a convocar de manera directa a la población de Caral y del ámbito de influencia para mejorar sus condiciones de vida.

Según un estudio realizado por Phillips basado en una muestra de 1.830 ciudadanos.
En la madrugada del sábado al domingo, a las 03:00 horas serán las 02:00.
El 23 % de los encuestados afirma que padece alteraciones en el sueño.
Los gallegos son los que peor llevan el cambio horario de invierno.
Uno de cada tres españoles asegura que el cambio horario de invierno le afecta negativamente y que sufre, como consecuencia, alteraciones en el sueño, cansancio y dificultades para levantarse por las mañanas, según un estudio realizado por la compañía Philips.
La madrugada del sábado al domingo, a las 03:00 horas, comienza el horario de invierno
La madrugada del sábado al domingo, a las 03:00 horas, comienza el horario de invierno y los relojes deberán atrasarse 60 minutos, es decir, serán las 02:00 horas.
El análisis, basado en una muestra de 1.830 ciudadanos de entre 18 y 55 años, revela además que cuatro de cada diez españoles lleva peor el cambio horario de invierno -que hace que amanezca más temprano y oscurezca antes- que el de verano, aunque sólo el 14 % considera que es "muy molesto" y que lo suprimiría.

Unas consecuencias que no dejan dormir
Entre las principales consecuencias, el 23 % afirma que padece alteraciones en el sueño, mientras que el 21 % y el 20 % de los encuestados declara, respectivamente, que se siente cansado y que le cuesta levantarse por las mañanas.
El 66 % considera que adaptar los relojes a las horas de luz es una medida efectiva para ahorrar energía
No obstante, el 66 % considera que adaptar los relojes a las horas de luz es una medida efectiva para ahorrar energía, y sólo algunas personas mayores dudan de la eficacia de esta medida.
Del total de la población española, los gallegos son los que peor llevan el cambio horario de invierno, ya que un 43 % considera que les afecta de forma negativa y un 30 % asegura que le resulta molesto y lo suprimirían.
Los gallegos también son los que dicen sufrir más alteraciones en el sueño, mientras que los castellano manchegos son los que se sienten más cansados (35 %), con una cifra que se sitúa muy por encima de la media nacional.
Por contra, los andaluces opinan que, en general, están "despiertos" por las mañanas, y los canarios y extremeños, que a pesar de los cambios horarios, tienen ganas de hacer cosas cuando se despiertan.
Los andaluces y los murcianos son además los menos escépticos respecto a los resultados de ahorro energético que conlleva esta medida.

Todo lo que ocurre en una hora
Nacimientos: Nacen 15.525 bebés en todo el mundo.
Muertes: 1.458 personas pierden la vida por desnutrición.
Bocadillos: Los españoles se comen 404.566,21 en una hora.
Relaciones sexuales: En el mundo se realizan 70.547.945 actos sexuales.
Bodas: Contraen matrimonio 23,8 parejas en nuestro país.
Divorcios: Se rompen oficialmente 17 uniones conyugales en España.
Sida: Se contagian de VIH 1,59 personas en el mundo.
Aviones: Aproximadamente despegan 25 aviones desde el aeropuerto de Barajas en Madrid.

¿De dónde nos viene la norma del cambio de hora?
El cambio de hora se convirtió en norma en 1974 -un año después de la primera crisis del petróleo- con el objetivo de aprovechar mejor la luz del Sol y consumir menos electricidad.
Adelantamos el reloj el último domingo de marzo y lo retrasamos el último de octubre
Esta medida se aplica como directiva europea desde 1981 y se renueva cada cuatro años.
Adelantamos el reloj una hora la madrugada del último domingo de marzo y lo retrasamos el último domingo de octubre.
En España, el cambio horario se realizó por primera vez, de manera no oficial, en 1918, para ahorrar carbón.

Apple ready to set Leopard free

Leopard comes in one flavour for all usersLeopard, the latest update of the Apple Mac operating system OS X, goes on sale on Friday.

The release ends months of waiting for Mac fans, after Apple pushed back the launch to finish development on its much-hyped iPhone.
Early reviews for Leopard have been positive with veteran technology writer Walt Mossberg calling it "evolutionary, not revolutionary".
Apple is hoping to build on recent strong sales of its Mac computers.
In the last three months, Apple sold 2.2 million Macs, up 400,000 on its previous best quarter.
The company is touting Leopard as a Vista-beater, pointing to new features not found in the new operating system (OS) from Microsoft that drives many PCs.

Apple says there are 300 new features in Leopard, but some of them are minor tweaks to the previous OS, called Tiger, rather than fully-fledged tools or enhancements.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Mossberg said: "I believe it builds on Apple's quality advantage over Windows.
"In my view, Leopard is better and faster than Vista, with a set of new features that make Macs even easier to use."

'Few disappointments'
In the New York Times, technology columnist David Pogue wrote: "Happy surprises, and very few disappointments, lie around every corner."
At the MacLiveExpo, being held in London, there was a mixed response from attendees on whether they would be rushing out to buy Leopard on day one.
Many of the delegates said they would wait for the operating system to "bed down" before they bought it.
"I never buy any operating system when it first comes out. I normally wait until it has been out for six months or a year," said David Ramage, a Mac user from Luton.
Vista has been quite a disappointment for many people and Leopard could be the reason many people make the switch to Macs

He added: "Tiger does what I need it to do right now. I've not seen anything in Leopard to make me want to buy it immediately."
For developers, a new operating system means having to work to ensure their programs run smoothly on the new platform.
Ben Rudolph, director of communications at SWSoft, makers of Parallels, said Leopard was a big step forward for Apple and "would continue to drive sales of Macs".
Parallels lets users run Windows and Linux alongside OS X on a single Apple machine.
Mr Rudolph said Parallels would run smoothly under Leopard, barring any last minute changes to the code released by Apple.
"If that happens, we'll release a free, automatic update to account for them very soon after Leopard's launch," he said.
Of the new features in Leopard, Mr Rudolph said he was looking forward to being able to take advantage of his Mac's 64-bit architecture.
The new OS takes full advantage of the latest generation of chips inside Apple machines, while running applications on older processors also.

"I'm also looking forward to new user-experience features like Stacks, which should help me organise my incredibly messy desktop, and Spaces, which lets me cycle between different desktops."
Nik Rawlinson, editor of MacUser magazine, said many users would get Leopard in its first few weeks on sale.
"When Tiger was launched it earned Apple $120m very quickly and all the expectations are that sales will be double that."
He added: "Vista has been quite a disappointment for many people and Leopard could be the reason many people make the switch to Macs."
He said he felt Leopard had enough new features to distinguish itself from Microsoft's Vista.
"A lot of things that were previously only add-ons in the Mac world, such as the Apple TV interface, are now integrated into the OS.
"That is competing directly with Media Center on Windows PCs. Apple has seen that Microsoft has moved forward in some areas and is responding."

Neanderthals 'were flame-haired'

Some Neanderthals were probably redheads, a DNA study has shown.
Writing in Science journal, a team of researchers extracted DNA from remains of two Neanderthals and retrieved part of an important gene called MC1R.
In modern people, a change - or mutation - in this gene causes red hair, but, until now, no one knew what hair colour our extinct relatives had.
By analysing a version of the gene in Neanderthals, scientists found that they also have sported fiery locks.
"We found a variant of MC1R in Neanderthals which is not present in modern humans, but which causes an effect on the hair similar to that seen in modern redheads," said lead author Carles Lalueza-Fox, assistant professor in genetics at the University of Barcelona.
Though once thought to have been our ancestors, the Neanderthals are now considered by many to be an evolutionary dead end.
They appear in the fossil record about 400,000 years ago and, at their peak, these squat, physically powerful hunters dominated a wide range spanning Britain and Iberia in the west, Israel in the south and Siberia in the east.
Our own species, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa, and displaced the Neanderthals after entering Europe about 40,000 years ago. The last known evidence of Neanderthals comes from Gibraltar and is dated to between 28,000 and 24,000 years ago.

Altered chemistry
The latest research suggests that similar adaptations were evolved independently by Neanderthals and modern Europeans in response to similar environmental circumstances.
All humans carry the MC1R gene, but modern redheads possess an altered, or mutated, version of it.
This rare variant doesn't work as effectively as more common forms of the gene. This loss of function alters the chemistry of the cell, producing red hair and pale skin.
In the latest study, the authors retrieved fragments of the MC1R sequence from Neanderthal bones found at Monte Lessini in Italy and from remains unearthed at El Sidron cave in northern Spain. DNA is notoriously difficult to obtain from very old specimens such as these.
"This was a bit like finding a needle in a genomic haystack. I couldn't believe we found it the first time. I asked my friends to repeat the results. Eventually the variant was found in two separate Neanderthals in three different labs," said Dr Lalueza-Fox.

Unique variant

The researchers found that Neanderthals carried a unique variant of the gene not present in modern humans.
In order to test what effect it had on hair and skin colour, the researchers inserted the Neanderthal variant into a human cell called a melanocyte.
Melanocytes produce the dark pigment called melanin which gives skin, hair and eyes their colour.
The researchers saw the same loss of function in the Neanderthal form of MC1R as they did in modern variants of the gene which produce red hair.
"In Neanderthals, there was probably the whole range of hair colour we see today in modern European populations, from dark to blond right through to red," Dr Lalueza-Fox told the BBC News website.
To Dr Lalueza-Fox, the observation that the Neanderthal version of the gene is not found in modern humans suggests they did not interbreed with each other, as some scientists have proposed.

Facebook: Un Hi5 gigante??

¿Facebook?. Si este nombre no suena familiar, pues debería, ya que se trata de una de las 20 páginas de internet más visitadas del mundo, con 47 millones de “adictos” y que permite al usuario crear su propia web y comunicarse con otros usuarios de la comunidad. Cada día se suman a él 200 mil nuevos usuarios. Nada menos.

Este es el sitio de redes sociales más visto después de MySpace y que acaba de convertirse en una de las firmas con más valor de la web, luego que el miércoles Microsoft anunciara que adquirirá una participación de 1,6 por ciento en el capital de Facebook por 240 millones de dólares.
La oferta de Microsoft se impuso a otra del buscador de Internet Google, que también negociaba para comprar una parte del sitio de redes sociales.

El dueño tiene 23 años
La oferta valora Facebook en unos 15.000 millones de dólares, nada mal para una empresa fundada en 2004 por un estudiante que hoy tiene 23 años, Mark Zuckerberg, y que prevé que los beneficios de 2007 no superen los 100 millones de dólares.
Zuckerberg es un muchacho de apariencia tímida siempre calzado con unas sandalias Adidas de los 80 -el equivalente al jersey de negro de Steve Jobs, presidente de Apple- que se ha convertido en el "niño bonito" de Silicon Valley.
Apertura
El fundador de Facebook ha señalado en varias ocasiones que quiere mantener la independencia de la firma y que, algún día, la sacará a bolsa, aunque no antes de dos años.
Según los analistas, Zuckerberg tomó dos decisiones acertadas que permitieron a su servicio distanciarse de otros tantos sitios similares de Internet.
La primera fue abrir la página a todos los usuarios de la red, ya que un principio estaba limitada al ámbito universitario.

Miles de aplicaciones
La segunda fue permitir a programadores ajenos a la empresa que diseñaran aplicaciones que los usuarios pudieran añadir a su perfil y que se quedaran con los ingresos publicitarios generados por ellas.
Ya se han creado miles de aplicaciones que van desde lo loable - sistemas de recaudación de fondos para causas humanitarias- hasta lo absurdo, como un programa para enviar mordiscos virtuales a otros usuarios y convertirlos en zombies.

Hoy Facebook es una de las 20 páginas más visitadas de Internet y el primer sitio de redes sociales después de MySpace, propiedad del magnate de los medios de comunicación Rupert Murdoch.
En el sector tecnológico hay opiniones de todos los gustos sobre el éxito de Facebook y la millonaria oferta de Microsoft.

Publicidad
Para algunos, Facebook es la gallina de los huevos de oro por los enormes ingresos publicitarios que semejante número de usuarios puede generar.
Para otros, una oferta de esas características sobrevalora la compañía porque los usuarios suelen ignorar la publicidad que aparece en Facebook y los anuncios no están relacionados con los intereses y datos demográficos de la persona que los ve.

No compite con Google
Rishard Tobaccowala, director de la división de medios del grupo publicitario Publicis, insiste en que Facebook no es el nuevo Google, una firma con la que se la compara a menudo.
"Facebook sólo tiene enormes grupos de personas comunicando sin expresar intereses específicos", dijo Tobaccowala a la revista The Economist antes de hacerse pública la operación de Microsoft.
En Google, sin embargo, el anunciante conoce los intereses del usuario, que se convierte así en un cliente potencial y, además, la publicidad es valorada por los internautas porque está relacionada con los términos que buscan, añadió.
