The Nintendo DS has seen quite a few franchises flourish on it and give birth to a very successful and profitable series. An example of such a thing is Disney's Spectrobes franchise, which has seen a huge success with the first iteration when it was launched a few years ago.Realizing just what it had on its hands, the company tasked the Jupiter studio with creating a sequel to it. This new project was finalized with Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, which was released on October 7, 2008 in North America, while Japan received it on December 11, the same year, and Europeans on February 27, 2009.The game boasts some major improvements over the first title, while continuing the story of Rallen and Jeena, two space officers who have saved their native Nanairo system from the evil Krawls. The peace after the conflict is disrupted by the abduction of one of their friends, Aldous, by a Krawl superior officer known as Maja. The fact that mysterios portals are opening around the Nanair!

HTTP:: Fraud Shoppers Women Admit to Returning Items After Wearing Them
--------
They say there is nothing â€" or close to nothing â€" women know how to do better or enjoy more than shopping. According to a new survey by OnePoll and cited by the Daily Mail, it seems they, whoever that may be, might have been wrong, since it’s not the shopping itself that women enjoy, but rather the thrill of getting something new, even if that means having to return it the next day. What this means is that women don’t necessarily like to pile up item over item, that’s just a natural consequence of their desire to own something new. This, together with the recession and the need to cut down a bit on expenses, has prompted them to turn to what is known as “freestyle shopping,” the practice of “buying” a dress, wearing it just once for a special occasion and then returning it to the store on the grounds that “it doesn’t fit.” While not new, this type of shopping fraud has now come to know impressive numbers, with one in every three women doing it. !
The poll, conducted on 3,000 women who agreed to honestly answer a couple of questions on the Internet, reveals that ladies are truly ruthless when it comes to getting what they want â€" especially if that happens to be a designer piece or an overpriced but nice item,...

Not a single day without a Hollywood-related piece of news it seems, as the rumor mill started spinning yesterday about who would direct the upcoming World of Warcraft-inspired movie, and now official confirmation has arrived from both Legendary Pictures and Blizzard that reputed director Sam Raimi will be at the helm of Warcraft. For those of you who aren't familiar with his work, Raimi is responsible for the more recent Drag Me to Hell horror flick and can also boast having directed the Spider-Man movie franchise, proving that he can handle, at least sometimes, the pressure from fans and will deliver a great mainstream approach to cult figures and characters. While Legendary Pictures and Blizzard will be the two main companies behind the Warcraft project, Warner Bros. will also pitch in to co-finance and distribute it around the world. Besides Raimi, former associate producer of The Dark Knight, Charles Roven, will also work on this new movie. Raimi will supervise the !
early stages of development for Warcraft and will commence shooting after work on the future Spider-Man 4 movie will end, supposedly next year. “At its core, 'Warcraft' is a fantastic, action-packed story,” Raimi revealed in a statement made after the official announcement. “Blizzard Ent...

Mariah Carey is busily working in the studio on her upcoming album, the interestingly titled “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.” It could very well be that this assiduous work itself led to a delay in terms of release of the material, as it has been pushed back from August 25 to September 15 without as much as a notice, The Examiner informs. Fans were the first to notice the change on websites like Amazon.com, where it has been operated without an explanation. Mariah Carey, on her behalf, has said nothing of the delay, but it is believed she and her team had realized they would not have enough time to get the material into impeccable shape by the time it was scheduled for release. Therefore, instead of coming out with something they were not happy with, they chose to push the date back a bit, speculation has it. “Mariah Carey is steady at work on the anticipated album ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.’ However, said work may have contributed to a change in release d!

Sony Pictures is in the final stages of acquiring the material put up for sale by AEG Live, with Variety reporting that Sony is eyeing a release date for October 30, this year. At the beginning of this week, AEG Live confirmed that a bidding war had begun between the biggest movie studios in Hollywood, for the rights to turn the rehearsal footage, including backstage images amounting to close to 100 hours of tape, into a film. Even back then, Sony was a favorite in the run, reportedly aiming to bid more than its rivals to secure the rights.

A new archaeological investigation conducted on the Santa Rosa Island off the coast of Santa Barbara by scientists from the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) has revealed traces of nanodiamonds, which seem to indicate that a comet struck the location some 12,900 years ago. The team believes that traces of the comet scattered across the North American continent at that time, and that this location is only one of those impacted. Details of the study appear in this week's issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).“The pygmy mammoth, the tiny island version of the North American mammoth, died off at this time. Since it coincides with this event, we suggest it is related,” UCSB Professor Emeritus James Kennett, who conducted the research with his son, Douglas J. Kennett, and 15 other scientists, says. He also reveals that the ground layer in which the hexagonal nanodiamonds were found is part of the larger layer called the You!

An international collaboration of scientists from the United States and Spain has successfully developed a method of analyzing the vapors that the human skin emits in real time. The experts believe that these substances, mostly fatty acids, are the chemical triggers that attract mosquitoes to us, and also the stuff that allows dogs to accurately identify their owners. The team, made up of investigators from Boecillo Technology Park, in Valladolid, and the Yale University, published details of the new device in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, AlphaGalileo reports. “The spectrum of the vapors emitted by human skin is dominated by fatty acids. These substances are not very volatile, but we have developed an 'electronic nose' able to detect them,” study co-author and Yale University Department of Mechanical Engineering expert Juan Fernandez de la Mora explains, quoted by SINC. “The great novelty of this study is that, despit!

But, fortunately for the speedy animal, the developers collaborated with Dimps and delivered Sonic Rush, one of the first Sonic titles for Nintendo's hugely successful DS handheld platform.

HTTP:: Harry Potter Star Gets Community Service for Pot Farm
--------
Back in April, Jamie Waylett, who starred in all six “Harry Potter” movies as Vincent Crabbe, was arrested on charges of possessing and producing a class B drug. The actor pled guilty last week and, just a few hours ago, got really lucky in court, as a judge ruled that the cannabis he was planting was for his own use, sentencing him to just 120 hours of community service, TMZ reports. The days news broke in the media of both the kind of charges brought against him and the nature of the operation he was running, estimates had it that Waylett stood to spend the next 14 years of his life behind bars. With all that, the judge presiding the case ruled that the cannabis farm found at Waylett’s home (his mother’s, actually) was small-scale and solely for his own purpose, so he sentenced him to community work instead of jail time. “Jamie Waylett â€" who appears in all six ‘Potter’ flicks â€" was busted back in April when cops found eight bags of weed in the car in!
which he was riding. Cops searched his mom’s place after and found 10 marijuana plants. Waylett pleaded guilty last week. The judge yesterday said he accepted that the cultivation was on a small scale and for the actor’s own use.” TMZ writes of the sentencing. Wi...

HTTP:: Magnetic Fields Make Nanostars 039 Twinkle 039
--------
Biomedical imaging techniques refer to tracking down particles injected into the human bodies to their destination, and assessing their behavioral patterns. This can be done using fluorescent markers, which are then observed with specialized equipment, designed specifically to track a certain type of marker. Now, experts at the Purdue University have developed a new way to do this, by creating nanostars that spin when subjected to a rotating magnetic field. When they do this, they scatter the light shone on them, creating a pulsating effect, a twinkle. This type of signals can be very easily detected from the myriad of others that exist in the average human cell, where the level of activity is unbelievable. Being able to identify the exact marker you're looking for has proven to be relatively difficult with previous methods, and that's why the new structures hold so much promise for the field. Details of the National Institutes of Health-funded work can be found in the lat!
est issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. “This is a very different approach to enhancing contrast in optical imaging. Brighter isn't necessarily better for imaging; the real issue is background noise, and you can't always overcome this simply by creating brighter particles. With gyromagnetic imaging we can zero ...

HTTP:: Britney Spears Conservatorship to Come to an End
--------
It’s been a long time since Britney Spears lost all say in all aspects of her life, but reports are now coming in claiming that Jamie Spears, the man calling all the shots, as the media dubbed him, may be preparing to “set her free.” Come November, Jamie will ask the judge in charge to revise the conservatorship and preferably end it, TMZ says, citing well-placed sources within the Spears management. In February 2008, Britney Spears hit rock bottom following a series of disastrous press, a public meltdown that saw her shave her head in front of the paparazzi and then a very embarrassing public outburst that had her lashing out at a pap and pounding with an umbrella on his SUV. After paramedics, accompanied by police, rushed Spears to Cedars-Sinai, where she was involuntarily hospitalized under 5150, Jamie Spears was put in charge of all aspects of the singer’s life, from her music career to her personal life and, of course, finances. Now, Jamie might be consider!

HTTP:: Eating Healthy and Cheap Is Possible Experts Stress
--------
Many anti-diet eaters who also happen to have weight issues use the old excuse that eating healthy is too expensive when it comes to making a change in their lifestyle. As it happens, they’re completely right in their assertion, but that’s not to say an improvement can’t be brought about with less money as well. As Dr. Adam Drewnowski, director of the University of Washington Center for Public Health Nutrition, puts it for USA Today, a recession-proof healthy diet is not an impossibility. In order to come up with the foods that we should also replace our fast-food lunch box with, Dr. Drewnowski analyzed the items currently available in the average US supermarket and then took into consideration most contexts that might deter us from eating healthy (like living in an area where fresh vegetables were not an option, not having time to cook, and so on and so forth). The conclusion is extremely simple: living healthily by changing our diet and thus dropping the unnecessa!

HTTP:: Holistic Dentistry Practice Says Tongue Is Map of Health
--------
Dentists usually look at the tongue and the gums to see what condition they’re in when we normally go in for a consult, but one doctor in the UK does more than just that. Dr. John Roberts has a Holistic Dentistry Practice in West Yorkshire where patients come in to have him look specifically at their tongues, which are actually maps of health, the Daily Mail says in a recent piece. This new approach to diagnosing â€" or, at least, observing â€" diseases or simply imbalances in the body is actually based on old Chinese practices that hold that the tongue is the only part of the body that holds the key to the health of the entire organism. Depending on shape, coloration and countless other aspects far too many to list here, Dr. Roberts can offer specialized advice to patients who might not even know they’re sick. Of course, as noted above, his recommendations don’t come as clear-cut diagnoses and might not always refer to serious issues, but his soaring popularity show!
s that, whatever it is that he does, it is working wonderfully for his patients. “Each area of the tongue corresponds to a different internal organ; which means, basically, the tongue is the window through which one can look into the body.” Dr. Roberts tells the Mail, right before starting the...

--------
The UK is the hardest hit territory by the swine flu epidemics, which has made it clear to two of the biggest airlines that steps must be taken to prevent people with the virus from traveling to other parts of the world, or for those to enter the country. Thus, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have announced that measures are in place to block swine flu travelers straight at the airport, on the spot, as physorg can confirm. The idea is to let no one with symptoms go out or in the country if a thorough check at the airport can prevent it. Thus, staff will detain anyone who looks suspicious â€" in the sense of presenting the by-now well-known symptoms â€" and will call for the standby medical team when the person in question asks for it. If the person chooses to ignore the recommendations of the medical staff, he or she will have to provide a 'fit to fly' paper from their doctor in order to book a place on the plane, which will be paid for by the company, it has been reve!

They say this duo’s biggest hit to date, the aptly called “The Cheeky Song,” is a classic example of brainwashing earworm. They also say that the Cheeky Girls, the Romanian twins who managed to break on the international European market with the above-mentioned single and who are now pursuing other aspects of their career, are also the worst act ever put together in the history of showbiz. Still, that doesn’t stop them from going on with their stuff and at least trying to help other young girls in terms of battling anorexia. Speaking with Closer magazine, the twins, Monica and Gabriela Irimia, reveal that, although they now boast extremely fit and toned bodies, it wasn’t always so. Back when they were still getting tons and tons of negative media, for anything from their music to their fashion choices and their personal lives, and when they had reached a financial dead-end with their label collapsing and their not selling anything anymore, the girls succumbed to !
pressure and, to put it simply, stopped eating. Their weight plummeted under 44 kg, while their waists contracted to just 22 inches. Moreover, being twins and always doing things together made it harder for Monica and Gabriela to come out of anorexia, they now say. “We negatively supported each other to stay ...

--------
The PlayStation Portable console has been a pretty successful one, managing to move over 50 million units ever since it was released. This is an even greater feat as the platform hasn't really been supported by many high-quality titles from third-party developers, instead relying on Sony to actually offer games for it. But the tide is turning and, with the announcement of the PSP Go, the platform is coming to life once more. We've already heard about a lot of successful Sony franchises arriving to the small device, like LittleBigPlanet or Motorstorm, but one of the biggest is Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines. Picking up straight from where the first title ended, it will continue the saga of Altair and his mission against the Knights Templar. It seems that the “core gameplay” won't change and will offer free-running and an intuitive combat system in order to meet the high expectations of fans. “As it was the case in Assassin's Creed, Altair will get to explore!
various large cities,” Frederic Lefrancois, third-party producer for the game at Griptonite Studio, said in a prepared Q&amp;A. “This time around Altair will discover the cities of Limasol and Kyrenia in Cyprus, a beautiful and historically very interesting island in the Mediterran...
