A Banalização do Sexo?
A questão do sexo hoje vem sendo tratada de forma muito irresponsável pela mídia. Pessoas vem abusando de nosso instinto sexual para ganhar dinheiro através de filmes pornôs, revistas, propagandas e novelas.Mas será que a mídia deve ser aplaudida ou vaiada por essa atitude? Por que os jovens pensam que se você ficar com mais de uma pessoa em uma noite, você será uma pessoa melhor? A mídia está errada sim em banalizar o sexo, isso é uma coisa muito íntima entre duas pessoas. A mídia no entanto, não total culpada pelo assunto. Pois se não houvesse público para essas industrias de filmes e novelas, como esse mercado iria se manter?
O ser humano vem passando por diversas lavagens cerebrais, estão tentando nos mostrar que se não ficarmos com mais de cinco pessoas em uma noite somos caretas, fazem-nos pensar que se dissermos “eu te amo” estamos nos apegando muito fácil as pessoas.
Não devemos nos deixar levar por essas coisas que nos são mostradas, sexo é amor, e paixão, é a forma que temos de dizer através de nosso corpo: “eu gosto de você” ou até mesmo “Eu te amo”.

Gennaro Ivan Gattuso (born January 9, 1978 in Corigliano Calabro) is an Italian footballer. His position is in the midfield. He currently plays for A.C. Milan
, with whom he won the UEFA Champions League in the season 2002/2003 and "Lo Scudetto" in the 2003/04 season. He is frequently nicknamed Rino and Ringhio. Gattuso started his career at the Italian side Perugia, but transferred in July 1997 at the age of 19 to the Scottish team Rangers. Gattuso won the admiration of Rangers fans while in Glasgow, and his 'ultra-aggressive' playing technique has been put down to the training he received there. He also credits the one-time Rangers manager Walter Smith as a great influence, and describes him as a 'second father'. Smith's successor as Rangers' manager, Dick Advocaat, did not prefer Gattuso in the team. After playing him 'out-of-position' as a right-back, Gattuso was sold in October 1998 to Salernitana for �3m. Milan spent �8m on Gattuso ten months later. His footballing ability has since improved since moving to a more pass-orientated Milan side. The current high profile Gattuso now enjoys is due to his time at Milan and his participation as part of the Italian national squad. He has been capped over twenty times for his country and played in the 2000 Summer Olympics, the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004. Gattuso still has links to Glasgow after marrying long-time girlfriend Paula Romano whom he met while in the city.

CAIPIRAS COM ATITUDE PUNK!
Quem está por dentro nas novidades musicais que rola pela net, já deve ter percebido uma grande mudança naqueles velhos e “grudantes” hits sertanejos. Sertacore é o que cola no momento. Tá certo, continuam com aquele “chororô” de sempre, mas agora, as violas “fincadas” na tradição caipira tornaram-se acordes mais rápidos e pesados denominados Hardcore.
A primeira banda a adotar esse estilo foi do sul do pais, a Hardnejo Sertacore, que está conquistando uma legião de fãs na net e, com certeza, irá fazer sucesso entre a galera do rock, e por que não os caipiras?! Se gostou da novidade, acesse o myspace da banda:

Thierry Henry for BarcelonaArsenal fans may try and convince themselves that Robin Van Persie is finally ready to take over Henry's mantle as Arsenal's main attacking weapon but there can be no denying that the London club have lost the most important player of their modern era.
Last season may have been disrupted by injury and Henry may now admit himself that he stayed a season too long at Arsenal but having finally arrived at the Nou Camp amongst a Barcelona squad hellbent on reclaiming their La Liga crown from Real Madrid, Henry should enjoy a new lease of creative life under Frank Rijkaard.
Two World Stars: Gisele and Thierry Henry
Ebel started on June 19th a major partnership with prestigious and emblematic football team Arsenal of London. To kick off this association, Ebel organized a very high-profile press conference in Central London with the unique presence of two world stars, Ebel’s ambassadress Gisele and Arsenal’s captain and French national team star Thierry Henry. This event has been a huge success and attracted a large crowd of journalists, photographers, TVs and news agencies. Coverage has been massive already and reached an audience far beyond the UK, including the Emirates, Singapore, Brazil, Switzerland…

Frank Lampard biography
Frank James Lampard, Jr. was born on the 20th of June 1978 in the town of Romford in the London borough of Havering. He is a midfielder who currently plays for Chelsea in the English Premiership.
Lampard comes from an extremely distinguished footballing family. His father Frank Lampard Sr. was a left back who played for West Ham United. His cousin is 'Spice boy' Jamie Redknapp, who played for Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur amongst other clubs. His uncle is Jamie's father Harry, who currently manages Portsmouth F.C.
Lampard went to the Brentford school in Essex, the same school former Milwall striker Neil Harris and model Jodie Marsh attended. He joined West Ham as a part of the East London club's revered youth system in July 1994. About a year later, he signed his first professional contract. Welsh club Swansea City, who were then playing in Divison 2, took him on loan in October 1995. His first senior goal came for the Swans against Brighton and Hove Albion. After his return in January 1996, he was a regular in the youth team of the Hammers and was captain of the squad which reached the FA Youth Cup finals that year.
His first goal for West Ham came against Barnsley in the 1997-98 season. The following season saw him establish his place in the West Ham starting 11 and in that season he did not miss a single game as the Hammers finished 5th. It was the first glimpse of the now very well known fitness of the man. Along with Joe Cole, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand, Lampard formed a formidable quartet which was hailed as the future of English football. He made his senior debut against Belgium in a friendly in October 1999, and played for 76 minutes before being substituted for Dennis Wise. He also scored 9 times in his U-21 career. Only Alan Shearer and Francis Jeffers have scored more times for the English U-21 side.
When his father, uncle and close friend Rio Ferdinand all left Upton Park in quick succession, Lampard decided it was time to move on. He moved to Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea signing him for �11 million. Lampard's first goal for his new club came in a pre season friendly against Northampton Town and soon after he made his Premiership debut against Newcastle United. He was sent off in the game against bitter rivals Tottenham, which to date still remains his only dismissal in the Premiership. October 13, 2001 marked the starting of a new record in English football as Lampard went on to play 164 games non stop for the Blues. His first two seasons at the club did not reveal all what he was capable of, and he was often overshadowed by Gianfranco Zola.
The arrival of Roman Abramovich heralded a new beginning for Lampard, and there has been no looking back from then. He has grown into one of the Premiership's most feared midfielders. His pinpoint passing and shooting abilities from the edge of the box are his exceptional strengths, and he is one man who is turned to when set pieces and penalties have to be taken.
The 2004-2005 season was one of the most successful ones in the history of Chelsea and Lampard played a stellar role, bagging 19 Premiership goals. He also scored 4 as Chelsea reached the last four of the Champions' League and also helped the Blues to win the league Cup.
He was not selected for Euro 2000 and missed the flight to Korea and Japan for the 2002 World Cup. His first international goal for the Three Lions came against Croatia in 2003 and he has gone on to win more than 50 caps for England. He currently wears the No.8 jersey which Paul Scholes vacated after his retirement. Lampard has often been accused of not being able to perform as well at the national level as he does at club level. Many view that he and Steven Gerrard are similar players, and that there is room for only one of them in the squad. But there is no doubt that the man puts in nothing less than 100% when on the pitch.
Lampard is regarded as one of England's finest players of this generation. He came second behind Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho in the poll for the European Footballer of the Year (2005) and FIFA world player of the Year (2005). He won the Football Writers' Association player of the year award in 2005. He was also part of UEFA's all star Euro 2004 squad. He has been described by his manager, the charismatic Jose Mourinho, as the "best player in the world''.
Lampard's autobiography is titled "Totally Frank". He is engaged to Elen Rives, and the couple have a baby girl named Luna.

Cristiano Ronaldo started playing competitive football at 8-year-old for amateur club Andorinha, and then for local team CD Nacional when he was 10. He then move to one of Portugal’s largest football clubs, Sporting Lisbon in 1996.
Ronaldo trained in the youth team before playing his first senior game for Sporting in 1999 against Moreirense, and scored a double on his debut.
Ronaldo played for Portugal’s youth side in the UEFA U-17 Championships and drew attention internationally. Liverpool under manager Gérard Houllier back then was reported to have interest in signing Ronaldo, but it was Manchester United that made the move in 2003 to fill the void of departed David Beckham.
Ronaldo’s signature came after Sporting Lisbon beat Manchester United 3–1 in a friendly; on the way back to England the United players spoke enthusiastically about the young winger and suggested manager Sir Alex Ferguson to secure his signature, which they did.
Ronaldo made his memorable debut for Manchester United as a substitute against Bolton. His 30 minutes performances created hype with United fans and the English media with his dazzling dribbles.
Ronaldo’s first two seasons at United received mixed reviews; despite praised for his skills, Ronaldo was often being criticized for lack of consistency and poor decision making on the field. However his consistency level has been greatly since the 2006/2007 season, which saw him becoming one of the best player in EPL.
Cristiano Ronaldo made his senior debut for Portugal shortly after being signed by United in a match against Kazakhstan in August 2003. He has become one of the key players for Portugal since then.
The controversial moment of Ronaldo’s career was in World Cup 2006, where he was alleged to influence referee to send off his Manchester United team mate and England striker Wayne Rooney in their quarter finals clash.
Ronaldo was being used as the scapegoat for England’s defeat in the World Cup and the hatred towards him had prompted his intention to leave England and Manchester United. In the end United managed to keep him, and Ronaldo had a wonderful season in the Premiership against all odds.
Ronaldo won both the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year Award in 2007. He is the first player since 1977 to bag the double in the same season. Ronaldo was also voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association for the same year.
Ronaldo’s performance was crucial to help Manchester United securing their first Premiership title in 4 years in the 2006/2007 season.
Ronaldo was the top 3 finalists for both the FIFA World Player of the Year and European Player of the Year awards in 2007. The eventual winner however went to AC Milan’s Brazilian playmaker, Kaka instead.
Ronaldo continued his fine form in the 2007/2008 season, netted in 40 goals in all competition (31 in Premier League), and was again voted as the PFA Player of The Year and Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year. His performance contributed to United’s double for the season; winning the Premiership in succession as well as bringing home the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Cobertura da mídia no caso de Sto André: Certo ou Errado?
O mês de outubro mostra para o Brasil a situação de violência em que vivemos. Em Santo André, estado de São Paulo, uma garota de 15 anos ficou 5 dias refém do ex-namorado de 22 anos.
Infelizmente este caso não teve um final feliz. A menina Eloá Cristina Pimentel estava presa no apartamento junto com sua amiga Nayara Silva sob a mira do revólver do ex- namorado Lindemberg Alves. Em uma ação da polícia tentando resgatar as duas, Lindemberg atirou no rosto de Nayara, que já teve alta e passa bem. Já Eloá, não teve a mesma sorte. Após várias horas de luta pela vida, a jovem teve morte cerebral.
Mas esse caso não mostrou somente a violência no Brasil. Com ele podemos perceber a falta de ética dos meios de comunicação. Vários exemplos podem ser ditos. A imprensa, no geral, taxava Lindemberg como um seqüestrador louco, um maníaco. Outros fatos marcantes foram as ligações feitas por alguns repórteres para Lindemberg, possivelmente interferindo de forma negativa na negociação da polícia com ele. E, por último, a falta de humanismo da Rede Record, mesmo sabendo que a jovem Eloá já estava morta, continuava reprisando cenas da hora em que tentavam salvar a garota.
É, mesmo com tudo isso, acredito que e mídia brasileira não vai mudar. A ganância pela melhor matéria, em querer ser melhor do que o outro, vai prevalecer sobre a moral e respeito ao ser humano.

In 2004, John Cena's status as a celebrity began to develop. Cena won the United States Championship from Big Show. Not too long later, Cena lost the title but he gained it back soon. Cena then lost the title again to fellow WWE superstar, Carlito. During that time, Cena apparently got stabbed in the kidney by one of Carlito's bodyguard. This resulted him to stay out of action for a month.
In 2005 and 2006 respectively, Cena has made a few controversies. He had a feud with champion John Bradshaw Layfield, manager Eric Bischoff and fellow wrestler Chris Jericho. Cena also made feuds with Edge and Umaga at that time. But even so, some friendships were formed. Cena is said to be friends with Carlito after they won a match with Jeff Hardy against Edge, Randy Orton and Johnny Nitro.
The year 2007 became a big year for Cena as he got involved in a wrestling match with Britney Spears' ex and rap star, Kevin Federline. John ended up losing that match thanks to some assistance from Umaga to Kevin Federline. Later that night, Cena took revenge by body slamming Kevin Federline backstage.

The Chain Gang Soldier also teamed up with Shaun Michaels defeating the RKO tag team, Randy Orton and Edge. The match ended up with Cena and Michaels winning.
As of October 2007, Cena lost his WWE Championship title because of an injury. While wrestling against Mr. Kennedy, Cena tore his pectoral muscle while executing a hip toss. Eventhough he finished the match and completed the rest of the scripted event, check up the next day found out that John's pectoral major muscle was torn completely from the bone, requiring seven months to a year rehabilitation. Because of not being able to perform, WWE's CEO, Vince McMahon stripped him off the title and ended his reign.
In the year 2008, Cena made an unannounced return to action on January 27 as the final participant of the Royal Rumble match. He won the match, and the traditional WrestleMania title shot. Cena also had a match against JBL, which he defeated at Judgment Day and then at One Night Stand in a First Blood match. However, JBL defeated him at the New York City Parking Lot Brawl. In the month of August, Cena had to replaced by Rey Mysterio after it was announced Cena had suffered a herniated disk in his neck which will require surgery and he will be out of action indefinitely. According to reports, Cena underwent successive surgery to repair the herniated disk in his neck with Doctor Joseph Maroon on August 25.
Aside from wrestling, John has also made his own name in the movie business. In 2006, a WWE franchise movie titled The Marine was released with John playing the lead character, John Triton. The movie received mix reviews due to the poor storyline and discrimination to the US Marines. Even so, fans queued up to watch the movie as this was John's first big screen appearance.
The WWE wrestler also adds recording artist to his resume as he released his debut rap album "You Can't See Me" which debuted at #15 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album was recorded with his cousin Tha Trademarc. The album features his entrance theme song, 'The Time Is Now' & a host of other singles performed by Cena & one the songs he performed with popular rap band Estoric & a number of other songs Cena performed with famous rapper Bumpy Knuckles. Cena is the only professional wrestler to ever perform on BBC Two's long running TV show Top of the Pops.
While still being active with WWE, Cena made a couple of guest appearances Jimmy Kimmel Live! twice to promote his album. He has also appeared on popular shows like Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Fuse's Celebrity Playlist, Fox Sports Net's The Best Damn Sports Show Period, MADtv, G4's Training Camp and two appearances on MTV's Punk'd. He also served as a co-presenter, with Hulk Hogan, at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, as a guest judge during the third week of the 2006 season of Nashville Star, and appeared at the 2007 Nickelodeon UK Kids Choice Awards 2007.
In fashion, The Champ has also made a few trademarks. Cena is often seen with knee-high denim jeans and throwback jerseys when he first started on WWE. Lately, Cena has been wearing a lot of Chain Gang merchandise. When his movie, The Marine was released, John was seen to be adding more military-inspired clothing to his outfit to promote his movie.
Cena graduated from Springfield College, Massachusetts with degrees in exercise physiology and human anatomy. He applied for 60 colleges and he got accepted by 58 of them but in the end, he chose Springfield College. He is the second eldest of five brothers and is said to be a family guy when he is not wrestling. His good friends are fellow wrestlers, John Hennigan, Batista, Randy Orton, Carlito, Jeff and Matt Hardy among whom he will have to fight with.
John Cena is definitely going to be a big inspiration to all whether in wrestling, fashion, music or even movies as his participation in the industry is already more than regular celebrity. With all he has achieved, fans can definitely expect to see more of this WWE superstar in the coming future.
Also recently he has completed his new movie 12 Rounds produced by WWE Films. This movie was said to be completed when John suffered from his injury in 2007.

Do Aprender ao Ensinar
O último sábado, dia 18, foi uma experiência muito legal para os antenados Cledemar Duarte, Henrique Oliveira, Junio Pires, Leandro Gonçalves e Nicanor Mendes.
Neste dia, os Antenados foram ensinar o que sabem para os alunos do curso de Gestão de resíduos e 3 RPCS do Centro Mineiro de Referência e Resíduos (CMRR), um projeto do Governo do Estado. Acompanhados por um monitor, cada um ficou responsável por ensinar Edição de imagens, Fotografia, Criação de vídeo/fanzine e cinegrafia.
Mas Nicanor e Cledemar não tiveram nenhum monitor acompanhando a oficina deles e quem conta um pouco desta experiência é Nicanor Mendes.
Como foi a experiência lá no CMRR?
“Foi muito bacana porque não havia passado por uma experiência como esta de ensinar o que sei para jovens da mesma faixa etária que eu”.
Quais foram as dificuldades encontradas?
“Por ser o primeiro dia não diria que foi uma dificuldade e, sim, uma certa vergonha, de falar e todos prestarem atenção em você, fizemos algumas brincadeiras para conhecer os alunos um pouco e foi bem construtivo”.
Quais suas expectativas daqui para frente?
“Vão ser mais oito aulas dadas somente aos sábados, e espero adquirir e passar com o curso mais conhecimentos, ajudar os alunos no que estiver ao meu alcance. Também espero que eles estejam bastante interessados e que, no final, possamos mostrar tudo através do vídeo que vamos fazer”.

Nick Heidfeld F1 Formula Driver

nick heidfeld formula1
nick heidfeld f1 steering wheelNick Heidfeld came to F1 with a reputation that reminded many of fellow German Michael Schumacher.
The then 23-year-old reigning F3000 Champion rose steadily through karts, Formula Ford, F3 and F3000 before reaching the pinnacle of the sport in 2000.
Blindingly quick, Heidfeld also displayed a maturity that belied his age.
He made his F1 debut with Prost, but could not have imagined how difficult his season would turn out to be. The AP03 was miserably unreliable, and to top it off Heidfeld struggled to fit in with the team after a series of disagreements with team-mate Alesi.
A disastrous season saw Nick wondering where all the praise had gone, and the German was relieved to be snapped up by Sauber for 2001.
The Swiss outfit showed what sound engineering coupled with a very reliable engine and gearbox package can do. Nick grabbed his first podium in Brazil and ended the season 7th in the drivers' table with 12 points and generally enjoyed the upper hand over Kimi Raikkonen.
Though the Sauber/Ferrari package was again quick at the start of 2002, the team's lack of testing and development meant that they gradually slipped to the back of the field as other teams overtook them through the season.
To make matters worse, rookie team-mate Felipe Massa often outqualified him.
His best finish was fourth in Barcelona and Nick finished the year in 10th place with seven points and the prospect of spending 2003 with a driver from his home town (Frentzen).
The two Germans gave their all that season, but mediocre grid slots made scoring points none too easy.
The highlight of 2003, and what also proved to be the race weekend when Sauber announced they were parting with both drivers, was the U.S. GP.
The pair finished in the points with Heidfeld narrowly being beaten by his team-mate to the Indy podium. Nick finished 14th with six points and landed himself a one-year contract, or nightmare, with Jordan.
2004 and a hugely underperforming EJ13 must have made the German believe he was back at Prost, living through yet another bad dream.
A seventh place at Monaco was his best finish of the season. But at least, given the nature of the Monte Carlo street circuit, it was proof that it was the car and not the driver that was responsible for the unsatisfactory results.
Canada yielded yet another point-scoring finish - albeit just one - and was entirely thanks to the disqualification of four cars that finished ahead of him.
Little did Nick know it was to be his final reward in a difficult season that almost resulted in his F1 career coming to an end.
Determined to leave Jordan after the Brazilian GP, Nick found himself without a team and with the majority of the top seats already filled.
However, a late opening at Williams - thanks to F1's Contract Recognition Board ruling that Jenson Button wasn't allowed to join the Grove team - left Sir Frank in desperate need of a driver.
After two months of rigorous testing and head-to-head tussles with Antonio Pizzonia, Heidfeld was eventually awarded Williams' second seat and lined up alongside Mark Webber at the season-opening Australian GP.
But driving a woefully inadequate FW25, the results Nick wanted - and had expected - didn't materialise, although he did get the upper hand over Webber, bagging three podium achievements in the first seven races compared to Webber's one.
And when his Williams career was prematurely ended by a testing accident ahead of the Italian GP, Nick was the top Williams man in the drivers' standings.
Unfortunately the injury - as well as a subsequent one suffered while recovering from the first at home - ensured Nick didn't compete in the final five races of 2005.
However his performances, especially those at the start of the season, had already secured him a race seat for 2006 with the new BMW-Sauber outfit.
Despite many pundits expecting it to be a year of learning for the new team, it proved to be quite a successful one with Nick claiming their maiden podium finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Another nine races finished in the points saw him bag 23 points in total, elevating him to ninth in the Drivers' Championship.
Confirmed as a BMW driver for 2007, expect more podium finishes as the German and his team work their way up towards becoming title contenders.

David Beckham wallpapersDavid Beckham Biography
Name : David Beckham
Birthdate : 02/05/1975
Birthplace : London (England)
Height : 180 cm
Weight : 67 Kg
Position : Midfielder
Club : Real Madrid (Spain)
Born in Leytonstone on May 2, 1975, David Robert Joseph Beckham was a Manchester United fan from a very early age. He even insisted on wearing a Red Devils shirt when training with London club Tottenham Hotspur as a schoolboy. The admiration was mutual – the biggest football club in the world had its eye on the young player.
Soccer has always been the biggest thing in David Beckham's life. He used to play for hours when he was a kid. Beckham and his father would kick the ball around until it was too dark to see each other. Because he was always kicking the ball around, David Beckham never did all that well at school. Beckham failed out when he was 16 and went to play soccer for Manchester United's Jr. Team. David played his first pro game for Manchester two years later when he was 18. By 1996, David Beckham was a regular with the team and one of the most popular players in England - by helping the team win an FA Cup and a Premier Division title in the same year. In 2002, David Beckham helped England advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup of Soccer in Korea and Japan, where the English lost to the eventual champions from Brazil. In 2003, David Beckham was transferred to Real Madrid for a mind-boggling $40 million. After a disappointing season with Real Madrid, David Beckham is hoping he can lead England to victory in Euro 2004.
David Beckham's success in soccer means he's now making a ton of cash. David Beckham makes more than $15 million dollars a year playing for Real Madrid and zillions more from advertising endorsements. That's allowed him to pick up some nice toys as well. Beckham now owns seven cars, including a custom built Ferrari, a Porshe 911, a Range Rover, and a Jaguar. When David Beckham's not scoring goals for his team, he hangs out with his wife, Victoria Adams (Posh Spice of the Spice Girls) and their sons Brooklyn (born in March 1999,) and Romeo, (born in September, 2002. They also have two dogs named Snoop and Puffy (after Beckham's favorite rappers, Puff Daddy and Snoop Dog). So between scoring goals, making music and cleaning up after their son and dogs, this family keeps very busy.
