HTTP:: Miis Also Supported by Guitar Hero 5 Home Avatars Not
--------
Activision announced yesterday that Xbox Live Avatars would be incorporated into Guitar Hero 5, with players being able to use them as part of their in-game band and with full customization options available, thus controlling every aspect of their appearance.Just after the publisher made the announcement, a lot of people begun asking why Xbox Avatars were given preferential treatment over the Nintendo Wii-powered Miis and over the Home Avatars available to those who own a PlayStation 3 gaming console from Sony. Activision felt compelled to jump in and offer some clarification related to the issue.A spokesperson for Activision Blizzard told Eurogamer that “While there are no plans to have Home Avatars for the PS3 version, the US has confirmed that Wii owners will be able to rock out with their Miis in Mii Freestyle Mode.”Activision is also saying that if Xbox 360 users have customized their Avatar with stuff from the new Avatar Marketplace, all will be taken from the vir!
tual representation when it is integrated into Guitar Hero 5. The good news is that a fresh set of accessories can be added in the game to make the Avatar look like a rock icon.Guitar Hero 5 is Activision’s big bet during this fall for the music simulation segment. The game offers players a c...

Post-Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson is a very busy businesswoman, looking to fill the time she now has to spare with countless projects, one more potentially successful than the other. Aside from preparing to start shooting on her VH1 reality show, “The Price of Beauty,” the star is also patiently gearing up for the release of her lingerie collection, as she says in a recent interview with Women’s Wear Daily. Simpson has always loved lingerie, she adds in the interview, because it makes for that unseen item that can make or break a good outfit, or boost a woman’s confidence for the entire day. Because of this, Jessica always dresses in lingerie items that suit her mood, which is why her line will be based on the same principle, offering women countless options to choose from. However, Simpson points out, the collection will not only be varied, as it will also include different styles so that any lady looking to buy something from her finds just the thing she wants. â!
€œI think lingerie is a special part of what you wear every day. It’s fun to pick different colors and styles.

--------
Electronic Arts has announced a loss for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, saying that it has a budget gap of 234 million dollars, which is significantly more than the 95 million loss reported for the same period of last year.Overall sales have also dipped, with the publisher only selling videogames worth 644 million dollars, compared to 804 million in 2008. Still, John Riccitiello, the Chief Executive Officer of Electronic Arts, is saying that the company has done better than expected and that the “performance” can be attributed to “good execution.”The biggest winners for the publisher were The Sims 3, which arrived in June, EA Sports Active and Fight Night Round 4 from EA Sports. Riccitiello believes that the first two games are bestsellers and that they will continue to bring in important revenue to the company. EA Sports Active has proved to be a hit with fitness-oriented gamers, most of them preferring it to Wii Fit from Nintendo.The game has sold 1!
.8 million units and EA Sports is already planning to put out an update for the title. The game, alongside Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Grand Slam Tennis and Rock Band 2, allowed Electronic Arts to get a 21% share of Wii-based gaming in North America and 13% in Europe.Meanwhile, The Sims 3 ...

nn Currently holding about 11.5 million domain names for sale, Sedo has reported two huge sales this week. The domain name Jesus.net was sold for $124,337, while in a previous sale, Server.com was sold for a huge $770,000. Before the sale, Jesus.net was redirecting traffic towards Christ.com, since after that all visitors have been forwarded to JesusInternetProject.com. Most impressive is Server.com's 12,000-unique-visitors-per-month record, even if the site points to the standard GoDaddy parked page template. Sedo has been used for this kind of sales, since the site reported weekly sales of over $600,000 â€" 700,000 for a good period of time. The reseller first made a name for itself in 2006, when Russian Standard Co. bought, using Sedo brokerage, the Vodka.com domain name for about three million dollars. Since then, users have been flocking to the website to park, list, transfer, buy, or sell domain names. The website is on the right track to go over the one-million ma!

HTTP:: Wikipedia Sees a Drop in Contributions

Wikipedia has become one of the biggest sites in the world and many users rely on it almost everyday either for school and even research, but also other less educational purposes. It's hard to imagine how the web looked like before Wikipedia, but a new study revealed some troubling statistics showing that the site had mostly stagnated in recent years, with contributions dropping about a third since 2006 when their numbers peaked. "It's easy to say that Wikipedia will always be here," Ed Chi, a computer scientist at the Palo Alto Research Center, told New Scientist. "This research shows that is not a given." Eight years after it launched, the web resource houses some three million user-contributed articles. But the growth in the number of new articles reached its peak three years ago, when 60,000 new pieces were submitted per month, and the trend has since turned negative, with about 40,000 new articles being added today. The number of edits to current entries flattened !
out in 2007, when they reached their maximum, and have since stayed at about 5.5 million per month. The number of active editors also peaked that year and has since stayed at about 750,000 per month. The research also provided a possible explanation for the waning interest, as regular contributors have become more important both i...

Valve is one of the biggest companies involved in gaming, particularly in the segment dedicated to the PC platform. Seeing as how its games were the basis for many multiplayer titles, like Counter Strike, the competitive side of gaming also preoccupied the game developer. One of its most successful titles and the one that managed to steal the crown from Counter Strike as the most popular online FPS is Team Fortress 2. The title has seen a lot of updates and patches added in recent months, all bringing in some pretty big changes for every player, whether he was a more casual or a hardcore one. That is why, according to TF2 developer Robin Walker, a close beta test is currently underway, where large European and American TF2 clans are invited in order to further tweak the balancing issues that are encountered throughout the game after the release of the patches. “The TF2 Beta is something we've just started running,” Walker said. “It's aimed at filling a hole in TF2'!

Ever since she split up from husband Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston has had nothing but bad luck in her love life. As fans must know, tabloids and celebrity blogs did not fail to pick up on this and, in almost no time, a sort of “urban myth” came to be, which has it that she’s always looking for love and is desperately clinging to whatever man that comes into her life. In the latest issue of Elle magazine, Aniston says she no longer has a problem with this perception people have of her. This is not the first time that the former “Friends” star makes fun of the image she has in the media. Far from being upset because of the stories that run in the media on her personal life, Jennifer Aniston is now OK with almost constantly having the label “lonely girl” attached to her. It took her some time to get here, though, but at least she is now able to look at the funny side of things â€" not that they would change if she became upset, for that matter. “I’m not go!

OK UK is the latest such outlet to get to hear the answer to these questions straight from Robert. Female fans of “Twilight” and especially Edward Cullen, the character he plays in the saga, can breathe a sigh of relief: Robert Pattinson is single. “I am young, free and single,” the actor admits for OK. As for dating co-star Kristen Stewart, that too is nothing but just a rumor, since they’re “just friends,” the British heartthrob says. He does try to joke about having a thing for her when they first started shooting for “Twilight,” but then he backtracks quickly and says, “Honestly!

HTTP:: Study Shows We Learn More from Success
--------
A new study from experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Picower Institute for Learning and Memory shows that we may have more to learn from our successes than from our failures. The new research, conducted on monkeys, revealed that neurons in the brain involved in learning became a lot more fine-tuned after a success than after a mishap. The scientists infer that this type of associations is a tool of evolution, which ultimately leads to an improvement in behavior. In the experiments, monkeys were trained to look right or left, depending on what type of images they saw on a computer screen. Whenever they got the “answer” right, they were rewarded. The science team says that this led to a much higher improvement in success rates, than if they were to be punished for not looking in the correct direction. The monkeys learned how to respond to the images â€" which flashed for a few seconds â€" by trial and error, the experts say. The team was led by re!

The neurons that the experts focused on were located in the prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia, as they have been associated with playing an important role in learning in previous studies.

Scientists and biologists around the world have been amazed at the small gecko's ability to climb virtually any surface since they first discovered the animal. From studying its feet, experts have inferred that materials making use of the same basic principles can be created, but exactly what triggers the grip and makes it turn “on,” and how this happens exactly have thus far eluded all scientific inquiries. Recently, scientists at the University of Calgary and Clemson University, in South Carolina, have managed to solve this long-standing puzzle.In their investigation, they have determined that the only thing triggering a gecko's solid lock on objects is gravity, and not necessarily voluntary control from the animal itself. Details of the amazing find are currently published in today's online issue of the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. In charge of the research were UC expert Anthony Russell and Clemson scientist Tim Higham. The new study repres!

HTTP:: Progress Made in Plastic Solar Cell Technology
--------
Scientists at the University of Washington, led by Associate Professor of Chemistry David Ginger, have recently taken another step forward towards completing the scientific objective of producing cheap, plastic-based solar cells able to transform more than ten percent of the sunlight they absorb into electricity. One of the major obstacles research groups around the world have met until now in doing this has consisted in unsuccessful attempts at creating a stable structure at the nanoscale, made up of carbon-based materials. “The solution to the energy problem is going to be a mix, but in the long term solar power is going to be the biggest part of that mix,” Ginger says. In a new, innovative process, the UW team has managed to devise a way of constructing tiny bubbles and channels inside nanoscale plastic structures. The channels are roughly 1/10,000th the size of a human hair. What is more amazing is the fact that the structures are not imprinted or engraved into the !
finished plastic product, but built-in, as a byproduct of a high-temperature production process known as annealing.The most common way to make solar cells at this point is for researchers to blend two types of materials into a thin film, and then subject them to annealing, so as to increase their p...

The same happened with her second album too, “The Redemption,” a release that failed to get critics singing its praise and fans to buy it, as SocialiteLife informs. “The Redemption” did not get much promotion prior to release, for rather obvious reasons: as most glossy mags and celebrity blogs point out, while Brooke is undoubtedly a celebrity, she is “not quite there” and is yet to be taken seriously for what she does. Still, the fact that it was known it would include songs written in the aftermath of the Hogan divorce, when mother Linda started dating a man younger even than Brooke herself, did help build up hype for it. Unfortunately, from what the aforementioned publication says, it just wasn’t enough to make the album move up th!
e charts. “Brooke Hogan’s latest album, ‘The Redemption,’ debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at #144, with 3,381 copies sold. Ouch. She held an album release party at Mansion in Miami this past Friday night. A full ten days after the album debuted.” SocialiteLife writes in a recent post. ...

HTTP:: Scientists Set to Investigate North Pacific Garbage Patch
--------
A group of marine biologists and environmentalists from California is setting sail to the Northern Pacific this week, to visit the immense patch of garbage that has accumulated in the region due to converging currents. In the years since this formation has been made public, it has become obvious that the patch, now the size of a small island, is fueled from North America, Asia and Japan, and that it is made almost entirely out of plastic residues and other non-degrading materials. The new survey is destined to assess the evolution of the patch since the last time it was studied, Reuters informs. According to the latest survey, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now stretching over hundreds of miles, and is made up of loose-bound pieces of trash, with a number of areas of higher density dotting this desolate landscape. The “island” is not solid enough to walk on, and anyone trying to do so can expect to sink amidst the debris and suffocate to death, the experts warn. !
The new team setting out in the Pacific is based at the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The scientists embarked on Sunday, and the whole crew is made up of about 30 members, including experts, technicians and sailors. Their expedition is expected to last for about thr...

HTTP:: Discovery 039 s Roll Out Slowed Down by Lightning Storm
--------
A couple of weeks before space shuttles are launched from the Kennedy Space Center, at the Cape Canaveral complex in Florida, they are taken out on a five-kilometer cruise atop the massive, Apollo-era Crawler-Transporter (CT), the second largest tracked vehicle in the world. This giant beast of burden takes the shuttles and the rockets carrying them, set up in launch configuration, to Launch Pad 39A. In the latest such trek, while carrying the space shuttle Discovery on Tuesday, the transporter was forced to move slowly and uncertainly, due to massive lightning storms and rains that made the road difficult. When on launch pads, NASA's shuttles are protected by extensive lightning masts, as well as by shell-like protective structures, which ensure that no damage is caused even by the most severe storm. However, on the strip of road that connects KSC's massive Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to the only launch pad still associated with the Shuttle Program, 39A, the vehicle, !

HTTP:: Warming Tundra Releases Carbon Dioxide
--------
Other than being outstandingly beautiful and harsh to live in, the Arctic tundra is also one of the largest carbon sinks in the world, beside the oceans. Over millennia, impressive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) have been trapped by the soils and permafrost in these regions, and have been stored in the frozen ground ever since. Now, as the tundra gets warmer â€" as evidenced by the fact that smaller or larger lakes keep popping up all over the place â€" those large amounts of carbon could soon be gradually released into the atmosphere, further ruining its already delicate balance. “It's a big deal. These are aspects that haven't been recognized before,” San Diego State University ecologist Walter Oeche, who has also been the principal investigator of the new paper, says of the finds. The finds were presented at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) on August 3rd, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In addition to the danger CO2 poses, geologists have !
also known for a long time that important quantities of methane are also stored there, and their emission levels seem to have spiked in recent years as well. In an attempt to determine precisely how the warming world influences the delicate balance of the tundra ecosystem and carbon cycles, Oeche's team purposefully unbalanced ...

Pingie: HTTP:: Visual Processing in Autism Hinders Body Language Interpretation

HTTP:: Visual Processing in Autism Hinders Body Language Interpretation
--------
In some instances, social interactions can prove to be very difficult for those suffering from autism, and a new study from the Durham University, in the United Kingdom, shows that this may be attributed to their poor ability to observe and process the body language of those in front of them. This leads patients to be inaccurate in their assessments of how the persons they are talking to are feeling, which can lead to embarrassing situations, and less interactions with others overall. In the experiments, experts from the university asked a number of individuals suffering from the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to identify what emotions were being conveyed from a series of short clips. The movies did not have sounds, nor did they show the face of the person in question. For the most part, the participants proved unable to accurately determine how the people in the movies were feeling, despite the fact that only simple emotions such as fear, happiness, anger, disgust and sa!
dness were expressed. Durham University Psychology Department Dr. Anthony Atkinson believes that people with autism have trouble reading body movements because they process some basic visual information differently from healthy individuals. The expert, who has also been the leader of the new study, says that the data...

According to a new statistical report released recently, the use of antidepressants in the United States has increased steadily between 1996 and 2005, with no signs of deceleration. Most likely, the experts behind the new study say, it will continue to increase among those older than six years of age in the future as well, while at the same time remaining relatively low among racial and ethnic minorities. Details of the investigation appear in the August issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, a journal published by the JAMA/Archives. “Several factors may have contributed to this trend, including a broadening in concepts of need for mental health treatment, campaigns to promote mental health care and growing public acceptance of mental health treatments. In parallel with growth in mental health service usage, psychotropic medications have become increasingly prominent in treatment,” the authors write in the background section of their new article.

Pingie: HTTP:: Combining Gasoline and Diesel for More Efficient Engines

HTTP:: Combining Gasoline and Diesel for More Efficient Engines
--------
Taken separately, gasoline and diesel fuel both bring a unique set of advantages and disadvantages to internal combustion engines. Experts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) have therefore seen no reason why the two should not be combined in their experiments, in an attempt to harvest the best of both worlds, with as little negative effects as possible. They advocate a new type of internal combustion engine, in which the two types of fuel are mixed directly in the combustion chamber. Details of the new system were presented yesterday at the 15th US Department of Energy (DOE) Diesel Engine-Efficiency and Emissions Research Conference, held in Detroit. According to UWM research group leader Rolf Reitz, applying the theory would result in a new, hybrid-like diesel fuel system, which would reduce emissions by about 20 percent, and would also be a lot more efficient in terms of fuel consumption. This is achieved through the use of a proprietary, new system called “f!
ast-response fuel blending,” which mixes the fuel directly in the chamber according to the road conditions of the time. In other words, the system does not inject a constant amount of fuel, such as in regular combustion engines. The expert's strategy also found a solution for the eternal problem that diesel and gas...

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the biggest games to appear in recent years. It has brought critical acclaim to the first person shooter series and has really changed the way development studios look at the single and multiplayer sides of their creations. Given the fact that it is still one of the most played video games on online services like Xbox Live or on the PlayStation Network, you can clearly presume that its developer, Infinity Ward, is keeping a close eye on the proceedings, in order for every player to enjoy himself. That is why when the newest batch of glitches and exploits were discovered by a few PS3 users, the team already started working on a solution. It seems that these problems were so bad that they rendered the game almost unplayable by regular users. Cheaters were able to get infinite ammo or even abilities like walking through walls or flying. According to a recent Twitter message from Infinity Ward's director of communications and communit!
y manager, Robert Bowling, it seems that things will be fixed through a patch soon enough. “A patch is in the works for PS3 and Xbox 360 to address the recent COD4 exploits. I'll keep you posted on the progress,” Bowling said in the message. The popularity of Call of Duty 4 is still quite hig...

They say you are what you eat, but, at the same time, they also say you are the company you keep. A new study comes to show that eating patterns in children and teens can easily be altered by their friends, which means a heavier peer will make it OK and acceptable for the youngster in question to eat more as well. However, this mostly applies to kids who already have some sort of weight issue, as physorg points out. Researchers have established that, in the case of an overweight teen, the friends s/he surrounds herself/himself with are crucial in terms of whether s/he will be losing any weight in the future. If peers are heavier than normal, then the teen too will start piling on the pounds, simply because it suddenly becomes acceptable for s/he to eat more and inhibitions no longer fit in. Therefore, a solution to tackling the childhood and adolescence obesity would be better “filtering” the friends the child or teen in question keeps. “These results are important,!

Video games can tackle a wide range of genres, from shooters, in either first- or third-person view, to intricate, role-playing or racing titles. But, sometimes, in an effort to find innovation and to “break” the market, some developers try more unorthodox approaches. Such is the case with Guillemot Inc., which is responsible for the dating simulator Sprung. The title, which was published by Ubisoft, appeared on December 8, 2004 in North America and reached European shores on March 11, the next year. The purpose of the game is to meet up, flirt and eventually hook up with other people, depending on one's genre. The location is at a remote winter resort called Snowbird Mountain, where players can interact with other characters and complete all of the 50 dating missions included in the main story. From interacting with drama queens and kings to more normal characters, Sprung promises a great story, penned by Colleen McGuinnes from the famous TV series North Shore. “W!

HTTP:: Prevention Program Effective at Reducing Teen Couple Violence

Over the past few years, an alarming rise in couple violence incidence has prompted experts to look for solutions to this serious problem. What is even more concerning is the fact that teen couples have also joined the trend. This means that, later on in life, partners that now abuse or are abused will translate this behavior in other relationships too. A recent investigation has revealed that a simple intervention program, inserted in the 9th grade curriculum, reduces the number of such incidents, and also prompts the use of condoms two and a half years later. Expert David A. Wolfe, PhD, who works at the Center for Addiction, the Mental Health Center for Prevention Science, in London, Ontario, and at the University of Toronto, in Canada, followed a number of lessons delivered to ninth graders by specialized teachers, between 2004 and 2007.

It is already common knowledge that the most challenging part of dieting is having to accept that it comes with many restrictions. Researchers say it’s precisely knowing we can’t have something that makes us want it more, which is why we should approach dieting from a different angle: stop trying to play by the rules and learn instead to cheat better, as MSNBC can confirm. Dieting is like a never-ending story, especially in the case of those that promise many pounds lost over just a couple of days. After the diet comes the weight gain, and then another diet and the same weight gain, and so on and so forth, so what we must strive to achieve is some sort of balance in our diet that is not focused so much on losing weight as it is on keeping it off. Clearly, that cannot be done when restrictions apply, therefore we must learn to cheat better and smarter, and thus be able to indulge and, at the same time, still maintain our figure. “Forget drawing up elaborate, depres!

Hollywood and the gaming industry are becoming closer and closer these days, as almost any new blockbuster has to get a video game tie-in, in order to get even more money for the companies involved in the project. Also, in most cases, these games benefit from famous actors coming in and doing the voice work for their characters. But it seems that actors still don't see video games as a business as serious as movie making, mainly because most people don't really take into account the performance of an actor's voice in a game like his character in a movie, at least according to famous actor Mickey Rourke. The Oscar-nominated entertainer has talked about his involvement in the two branches of the industry, as he lent his voice to the upcoming first person shooter Rogue Warrior. He will be voicing the main character of the game,  Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko. He revealed, “I don't really think people yet are comparing the two, insofar as somebody's performance in a vi!

HTTP:: Deep Brain Stimulation to Tackle the Problem of Obesity
--------
Obesity figures have gone sky-high in recent years, with estimates saying that the number of people with weight problems will increase even more in the following interval. Because of this, talk of a pandemics is warranted, as also is that of the measures needed to keep it in check. One last such method would be deep brain stimulation (DBS), which involves the insertion of electrodes into the brain to send small electric charges to it and thus alter the “dieter”’s perception on fullness and even attitude to food altogether, the Daily Mail says. DBS is already being used in treating diseases like Parkinson’s and it’s now being considered for use in treating obesity. A three-year trial is currently underway in the US, with two volunteers having already undergone the procedure. Should the surgery be approved by the US Government at the end of the trial period, Dr. Donald Whiting, a neurosurgeon at West Virginia University Hospital that has performed two such intervent!
