Merry Christmas från Suzanna McGee och Sofias Plexus Power Site!

Americans to consume 537 billion calories on christmas:

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) - Christmas will be a gut-busting time for Americans. According to New York-based nutritionist Lael Edelstein, Americans will consume a combined 537 billion calories on December 25 - and will probably gain 5 to 7 pounds as a result.

Although most folks won't do much to burn off the extra lard, Edelstein says if the calories are converted to energy, it would supply enough fuel to power Santa Claus' sleigh around the world 180 million times. All those calories could also supply enough electrical power to light up New York City for five days; 31,000 Trinity atomic bomb tests or make 6.6 billion pounds of man-made snow."

Where the other systems concentrated on Muscle Development, Maxalding went one stage further and taught muscle control.

Sportcal: Taekwondo Retains Official Status for Athens Olympics: 20 december

Taekwondo was included in the Olympics for the first time at the 1988 Games in Seoul as an exhibition event, and had the same status at the 1992 Games. The sport became an official sport for the Sydney Olympics this year, but received this status only on a temporary basis."

Infomedica: Hur kontrollerar man kvaliteten på den information man får på Internet?

• "Den information man får på nätet ska inte ersätta kontakten med en riktig läkare, utan användas som tilläggsinformation.
• Det är viktigt att själv försöka ta reda på så mycket som möjligt om källan till informationen. Vem är avsändaren och hur garanterar avsändaren kvaliteten på sin information? Om reklam eller sponsorer förekommer ska de vara tydligt redovisade. Det ska också gå att se när sidan senast uppdaterades.
• Man ska vara kritisk mot all information som verkar för bra för att vara sann."

Se även Länkskafferiet: Att värdera webbplatser själv:

"Tryckt material, t ex böcker och tidningar, granskas noga innan det publiceras. På Internet kan alla som har tillgång till en server (en kraftfull dator) enkelt publicera vad de önskar. Därför är det extra viktigt att du kritiskt granskar material som du hittar på nätet. Det är bara du själv som kan avgöra om texten, bilden, mjukvaran, ljudfilen mm som du har funnit motsvarar dina egna förväntningar och kvalitetskrav."
