HTTP:: Kelly Clarkson Shocked by Airbrushed Photo in Self Magazine
--------
The cover of the current issue of Self magazine shows, as it’s already known, a photo of a gorgeous Kelly Clarkson looking at least several pounds thinner than she is in real life. While magazine staff continue to defend the policy of photoshopping photos of celebrities to present an idealized image of them, Kelly herself reveals to have had a shock when she first saw the issue, the Examiner informs. According to the original American Idol, as she’s often dubbed in the media, she did not know that Self did not want her to appear on the cover as she was, despite the fact that the article accompanying the photospread talks of Kelly being a role model for having embraced her weight and, at the same time, a very healthy lifestyle. While the piece in question talks of acceptance and beauty outside industry standards, the photo shows that, in fact, those standards still apply because Clarkson clearly did not fit them and had to have her image altered. “The whole airbrus!
hing thing has gone crazy.” the singer says for Britain’s Heat magazine, as cited by the Examiner. Speaking strictly of the Self cover, Kelly admits even she had some trouble recognizing the woman shown there. “I was like, ‘Who is that on the cover of the magazine?’ They were obviou...

Pingie: HTTP:: Stellar Formation and Magnetic Fields Strongly Linked

HTTP:: Stellar Formation and Magnetic Fields Strongly Linked
--------
According to scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, it may be that magnetic fields play a much more important and decisive role in stellar formation than first anticipated. The conclusion was drawn after the experts made a comparative analysis of turbulences versus magnetic fields. The two phenomena were the ideal candidates to explain why stellar nurseries â€" areas of intense stellar formation â€" only produced small amounts of stars, at specific locations, as if something was hindering the growth process. The accepted knowledge on stellar formation at this point holds that stellar nurseries, which are, in essence, molecular clouds, filled with cosmic dust and gas, occasionally and under precise circumstances fall under their own gravitational pull into an area much smaller than their original size, and, as a result, ignite. However, if that alone were true, then all sections of known molecular clouds should have young, blue stars, whereas this is!
not the case. Therefore, other forces must be at work to prevent stars from appearing everywhere, and magnetic fields and turbulences have been the best bet. “The relative importance of magnetic fields versus turbulence is a matter of much debate. Our findings serve as the first observational constraint on this is...

HTTP:: Angeline Jolie and Megan Fox Fighting for the Same Movie Part
--------
The competition between Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox, until now played out only in the media, is about to take a more serious turn. Both actresses, it seems, are competing for the same movie part and Jolie is reportedly very worried that the much younger and, to some extent, with more media appeal, Fox will eventually get it, Splash News says, citing reliable insiders. “Angelina Jolie is reportedly battling it out for the lead role in the ‘Barbarella’ remake with her younger lookalike Megan Fox. 34-year-old Angie can’t help but be compared to 23-year-old Fox as two share the same pout, penchant for tattoos and long dark hair. Previously, it had been reported that Megan would be taking over for Angie in a ‘Tomb Raider’ prequel... as the role required a younger looking character.” Splash writes of the ongoing negotiations for the remake of the film on the popular comic book. However, it’s not just that the two are gunning for the same part that’s the pro!

HTTP:: Bluewhite64 Linux 13 0 Features KDE 4 3 1
--------
Attila Crăciun announced yesterday the release of Bluewhite64 Linux 13.0, a Slackware-based distribution that runs natively on AMD/Intel's 64-bit processors. Many changes and upgrades have been made, and, along with those, come new features and improvements over the older Bluewhite64 12.2. The operating system now uses an improved packaging format based on the LZMA compression algorithm, thus reducing package sizes and the decompression time. These new packages have a ".txz" extension, while the older ones were using ".tgz." X.org and its drivers have been updated to version 1.6.3, enabling HAL to do the video settings automatically and removing the need for an xorg.conf file. A generic 2.6.30.5 Linux kernel has been added to the distribution, but many of its components have been configured for compilation as modules. If you want to use it and the drivers that are needed for your hardware reside in modules, you will have to create an initrd file yourself. Also, if you wan!
t to use 32-bit programs, you will need to install the IA32 support libraries that are located in the /extra/ia32-emulation directory on the install media. Bluewhite64 13.0 includes support for HAL (the Hardware Abstraction Layer), allowing users that are in the cdrom and plugdev groups to manage items such as USB drives, camera...

HTTP:: Facebook and StudiVZ Settle Lawsuit
--------
Facebook and StudiVZ, its German “counterpart,” have reached an agreement in the intellectual-property lawsuit filed by the American social network last year. StudiVZ will pay an undisclosed sum to Facebook and both companies will cease any further legal action in any of the two countries. The two social networks will operate normally in Germany, but have agreed not to disclose any further details about the settlement. The legal fight started last summer when the Palo Alto company filed a lawsuit in its native California against the German social network claiming it was running a “knock-off” of its site, which duplicated its “look, feel, features and services.” While the claim wasn't exactly without merit, there was more to the lawsuit than met the eye in the first place. It turned out that Facebook might have actually tried to acquire its German twin, but failed to meet Holtzbrinck's, the company that owns StudiVz, financial requirements. Holtzbrinck bought the!
German social network in 2007 for 85 million Euros, or around $134 million, but reportedly wanted several times that amount from Facebook. StudiVZ is the biggest social network in Germany, with around 13 million users in the country where Facebook is doing less spectacular than in the rest of...

Google Chrome is growing up, fast. While it's still behind the more fully fleshed browsers in some areas, it's catching up and, at the rate it's developing, Chrome may just become the most feature-rich web browser out there, sooner than you think. Hot on the trail of several improved features, Google has made the move some Firefox users addicted to add-ons have been waiting for since Chrome was launched a year ago, with the announcement that Chrome now has official extension support in the dev releases. “Extensions are small pieces of software that developers can write to customize the way Google Chrome works. We've been working on enabling extensions for a while, but until now, they were hidden behind a developer flag. As of today, this is no longer true,” Aaron Boodman, software engineer at Google, wrote. “Removing the flag is the first step in our launch process, and it means we're ready for a few more people to start using extensions â€" the kind of adventurous!

Before Whitney Houston’s somewhat lackluster live performance for Good Morning America, the diva pre-taped an interview with Oprah Winfrey, which will air on September 14. In fact, the diva said at the time her voice was creaky precisely for this reason, but, from what Oprah is telling the New York Daily News, it was well worth it, since that was the best interview she’d ever done. Of course, Oprah doesn’t go into specifics about what Whitney said once she sat down on her couch â€" years of experience in television have taught her better than that. She does, though, say that the singer opened up about every aspect in her life that’s ever been subject to speculation in the media, from her marriage to her drug use and her sometimes weird behavior. Oprah also says she has never done a better interview in her entire career, and that should be more than enough to keep viewers glued to their television screens when the episode airs. “My approach to this interview was!
to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a ‘moment.’ I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her. One woman to another woman. And the day of the interview I literally prayed about that all day long. I just wanted a connectio...

As both Eddie and LeAnn announced divorce proceedings, they jetted off for a romantic holiday in Mexico to mark the singer’s 27th birthday.

Pamela Anderson has been part of more than one PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) campaign, the former “Baywatch” bombshell often lending her voice, face and body to the organization for a good cause. This time, with the Cruelty Doesn’t Fly campaign, things aren’t any different: what is different, though, is that airports in New York City have refused to air it as previously agreed, the Houston Chronicle informs. The Cruelty Doesn’t Fly campaign has materialized in a video where Anderson acts as an airport security guard. However, unlike the real deal, the star wears hotpants and a shirt buttoned only loosely and matched with fingerless, black gloves, aviator sunglasses and, of course, high heels. Her responsibility is to not allow anyone board the plane if they have items made of leather, fur, wool or animal skin on them. If they do, they’re stripped of them and only afterwards allowed through. “The ad was due to be shown at New York Cityâ€!

The company behind the Mac operating system advises users to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro registration code, if they are QuickTime 6 Pro users, and then proceed with this installation, in order to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. As for the security side of the update, Apple has patched three holes in the player, all affecting users of Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5.8, Windows 7, Vista and XP SP3. “A buffer overflow exists in QuickTime's handling of MPEG-4 video files,” the description of!
one of the vulnerabilities goes. “Opening a maliciously crafted MPEG-4 video file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking.” Apple credits Alex Selivanov for reporting the issue. “...

Pingie: HTTP:: NASA Review Panel Releases Preliminary Report

HTTP:: NASA Review Panel Releases Preliminary Report
--------
The spaceflight review committee appointed by President Barack Obama early on this year revealed two days ago its first official report summary, detailing possible future avenues of development for the American space agency. Five basic options are detailed in the 12-page document, of which only two are closely related to the ongoing Project Constellation, Space reports. The full assessment is scheduled to be released near the end of this month. Among the most important highlights of the document is the fact that four of the options state that the retirement of the space shuttles should be delayed until at least mid-2011, as opposed to the 2010 deadline currently in effect. The fifth option argues that the shuttles should be retired only in 2015, when, at least in theory, the Project is supposed to come online. One of the options in the new report states that NASA should continue its current plans, but argues that the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle and the ARES I rocket!
would not become available until 2016. For the heavy-lift member of the Project, ARES V, the deadline for completion would move in the late 2020s, the same report also shows, while the Altair Lunar Lander would only be completed in the 2030s, if ever. This option relies on the fact that the agency's budget will not be increased over the...

We all know that BioWare, now part of the mighty Electronic Arts empire, is working on a Star Wars themed MMO that is shaping up to be quite an experience. Initial reports are saying that the game will be fully voiced, a first for the genre, moral consequences will be central to the game, each class will offer the same amount of content as one full-fledged role playing experience from BioWare.Given all of the above, everybody thought that Sony and its Star Wars Galaxies would become history once The Old Republic was launched. But an inside source at Sony Online Entertainment is saying otherwise, talking about how the company is developing a new Star Wars MMO aimed at more casual players.The source talked to Ten Ton Hammer, a specialized MMO site, at PAX and it seems that the development is in the beginning stages. The engine used is said to be that powering Free Realms, a free to play MMO, a big hit for Sony. It is set to cover the period of the Clone Wars, which is already!
depicted in an ongoing animation series.Apparently, the game will also use the same stylized look and the overall gameplay mechanics will be calibrated so that younger players who are into the animation and more mature players who do not have the time to invest in The Old Republic will be drawn to it.

HTTP:: Sleep in Separate Beds for Marriage to Work
--------
We’ve often heard that the key to a perfectly functional and lasting marriage, or any other type of relationship, for that matter, is communication and openness. While this still remains true, sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley is telling people that their marriage cannot work if they and their partners share the same bed at night. The explanation for this is simple, as the Daily Mail states: a couple don't get a good night’s rest and, in time, this will make the relationship deteriorate. Speaking at the British Science Festival, Dr. Stanley, who lives by his own rule and doesn’t share a room with his wife for the duration of the night, stresses, though, that neither partner should relocate if they sleep well. However, if they wake up in the morning feeling beat and more tired than the night before, no matter how much they love their partner / spouse, they must consider the option of relocating for the night, since poor sleep increases the risk of heart disease and strok!
e, while also representing an important factor in the divorce decision. “If you sleep perfectly well together, then don’t change. But don’t be afraid to relocate. You then put in this person who makes noise, punches, kicks and gets up to go to the loo in the middle of the night, is it any wonder you are not ...

Caster Semenya, the 18-year-old athlete from South Africa who now holds the 800m champion title since August, continues to be at the center of a huge controversy regarding her true gender â€" and will remain so until the results for all tests she’s to undertake will return. In the meantime, Semenya, now turned national hero, has agreed to pose for the national glossy magazine YOU, which even deemed necessary that she undergo a complete makeover, as Times Online can confirm. The cover of YOU has Semenya in a black designer gown, arm laden with oversized bracelets, nails painted and hair done in curls, and includes the caption “Wow, look at Caster now!” The pages of the mag include even more photos â€" a four-page spread actually â€", which show the athlete trying on several looks, such as jeans and sparkly tops and other dresses. As expected, there is also an interview with Caster herself, who says just what any other 18-year-old girl in the world would say: that she!

It seems that the PlayStation 3 Slim is having quite the impact on all the significant videogames markets. In Japan, the console is said by gaming magazine Famitsu to have moved around 150,000 units to gamers in the first three days. And now GamesIndustry.biz is saying that sales of the Sony made home gaming console have increased by 999% over one week in the United Kingdom, which is one of the most important markets in Europe.Dorian Bloch, who leads the Chart-Track market research firm, has stated that “The uplift on week 36 on week 35 is plus 999 per cent. We don't give out the hardware numbers, but never-the-less it's a very large increase.” The head of Sony Europe, Andrew House, also weighed in on the situation by saying that “I think what I've heard anecdotally is that this is the point people were waiting for - a redesigned model and, in Euros, a significant price reduction. That's people's cue to jump into the business.”Comparatively, Chart-Trak also reports !
that the increase resulted from the price cut applied to the Xbox 360 Elite by Microsoft was only of about 43%. Unfortunately, the company refuses to release actual sales numbers and is only talking percentages. It's also worth taking note that the re-designed PlayStation 2 console, which arrived in 2004, only pushed sales...

As much as the media criticized First Lady Michelle Obama for some of her fashion choices in the past, the one thing everyone seems to agree upon is that she has wonderfully toned arms. Guesses have been made and they have all summed up to taking shots in the dark about what she does to maintain them in such great shape. Those who have wondered on the topic might stop their enquiries, because it’s Michelle’s personal trainer himself, Cornell McClellan, who’s now dishing out on the “secret” in a new interview with Women’s Health. Mrs. Obama is very dedicated to staying healthy and in top shape, so it’s no wonder she works out almost every day, most of the time with sessions scheduled to start at 5.30 in the morning, the trainer reveals. As research has also shown, working out in the morning is recommended, because it helps boost the mood and leads to an increased productivity â€" Mrs. Obama certainly knows that. “She’s truly committed herself to the impo!
rtance of health and fitness. I believe the purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit. To do that, we take a holistic approach that includes strength, cardiovascular, and flexibility training.” McClellan explains. He’s known Mrs. Obama ...

As always in the videogaming business, a successful release leads to questions about whether a long running franchise is born. Batman: Arkhmam Asylum, which closes the dark crusader with a variety of villains like Killer Croc, The Riddle and the Joker in the gothic and gargoyle filled insane prison, has been received quite well by players and by critics alike, so the people at Rocksteady, the developer of the videogame, have been quickly fielding questions about the sequel.Paul Crocker, who is the lead narrative designer on the Batman videogame, has told CVG that “We'll have to wait and see if anyone buys this” before adding “I hope so. We're just really pleased to have been given the chance to work on Batman. I'm a complete comics nerd, I used to work in a comics store... this is a dream come true for me. I'm sure people will want more. We don't know. You'll have to wait and see.”Apparently, Crocker has not been taking a close look at the charts in the United Kingd!

HTTP:: Heidi Klum Unzips for Page Six Magazine
--------
Heidi Klum is part of the so-called “old” generation of models, in the sense that the 36-year-old mother of three continues to be one of the highest paid and appreciated female models of the moment. As we all know, by this age, most of them are already happily retired, pursuing other careers in the same field, of fashion, or perhaps living their life isolated from the world. Not Klum, though, who, pregnant with her fourth child now, happily unzips for the latest issue of Page Six Magazine and offers a wonderful insight into her enchanted life. The interview also touches upon such topics as her critics, designer Karl Lagerfeld in particular, who recently took several swings at the model and even her husband. As fans must know, Lagerfeld repeatedly said he didn’t know Klum personally, had never worked with her and did not care for her, but, for all he knew, she was too “fat” and plain (read: commercial) to cut it as a runaway model. Heidi addressed this uncalled-fo!
r attack on a couple of occasions, but, once more, she’s ready to show the world that she is of the opinion everyone is entitled to theirs, even if expressing it means bashing her. “I don’t know why [Karl] said that.
