HTTP:: Mena Suvari Says Women Shouldn t Be Afraid of Weight Training
--------
Pint-sized Mena Suvari has, without a doubt, always been in great shape, but it’s only in recent months that she has finally discovered she too can have the kind of toned body she always wanted. Thanks to trainer Daniella Frita, whom she met a little more than four months ago, the actress is now in the best shape of her life and, even better, willing to share her secret with the fans via an interview with Us Magazine. Most women avoid lifting weights when they go to the gym and this is one of the biggest mistakes they could make, Mena says. Living under the misconception that weight training will only build more muscle, which, in turn, will make them lose their femininity, many women are missing out on the benefits of this particular exercise routine, the star believes. “Women need to not be afraid of lifting weights because they help you be toned.†Mena says for Us Magazine. Until not long ago, she too thought that lifting weights was not the thing for her, but al!
l that came to change when she met Frita, who acts as her body double on “You May Not Kiss the Bride,†the film Mena is currently shooting. Since then, she’s been hitting the gym religiously, doing yoga and lifting weights and, dare we say it, she looks incredible, judging only by the photos ...

HTTP:: Weekend Reading Nintendo Needs to Learn to Communicate
--------
For about two weeks, previously unsubstantiated rumors about a reduction in the price of the Nintendo Wii home gaming console have been getting clear proof. Wal Mart talked about a price rollback for the device, without mentioning the new price. Then, a Toys R Us ad was leaked to the press showing that the price would be the long-talked-about 199 dollars. Finally, on Friday, we got word that a circular from Target showed the same price and the date for the reduction, September 27. This is, by all accounts, pretty important evidence for a move on the part of Nintendo. Still through all this, Nintendo has only said that it refuses to comment on rumors and on speculation. Nothing changed in its behavior. It did not schedule interviews with any important news outlets regarding the mounting rumors. It did not send any important official out to talk to the press and to gamers. It did not schedule a press conference in order to make sure that its side of the story was being hear!

Rest is essential not only for your wellbeing but also for your health, as countless studies have shown already. Not being able to fall or stay asleep, or tossing a lot around at night can be caused by several factors, which means eliminating them is the perfect way to get a good night’s sleep, Shape magazine says in its latest online issue. The hour when you sit down for dinner may be just one of the many factors that prevent you from resting properly during the night. With many of us coming home late from work, dinner is occasionally followed by sleep, but the result is far from what we’d expect in terms of rest. To prevent this, we should do our best to have our last meal of the day at least two hours before heading for the bedroom, if we want to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. “If you’re hungry and are craving a light snack, foods with tryptophan, like whole-grain, low-sugar cereal or a small peanut butter sandwich, release serotonin into the brain,!

HTTP:: Magnetized Gas Makes New Kind of Physics Possible
--------
Atomic physicists were recently puzzled to discover a type of gas that could have the ability to start a new type of physics all by itself. The chemical exhibits some very peculiar properties, when its initial conditions are changed. For instance, when its temperature is dropped to the ultra-cold range, it begins to be magnetized, very much in the same way metals (including nickel and iron) do when placed near a magnet, ScienceNow reports. The scientists say that they could potentially use their newly discovered gas to rearrange the messy atomic structure within solid materials. However, not all the scientific community shares their enthusiasm. Some say that the team has not seen what it claims, and that the results of its investigation are still inconclusive, Science Now adds. Behind the research were scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), led by experts Gyu-Boong Jo and Wolfgang Ketterle. They analyzed a cloud of lithium-6 atoms, because of the!
spin similarities that these specific structures had with electrons. Though no one knows for sure, it is widely believed that magnetism inside a solid, for instance, is given by the way electrons arrange themselves in their orbit around a nucleus. This theory is based on the Pauli exclusion principle, a quantum-mechanics idea that s...

HTTP:: NASA Creates Electromagnetic Propulsion System Prototype
--------
At the Space 2009 Conference, held this week in Pasadena, California, engineers at the American space agency NASA have revealed the fact that they have successfully completed the construction work on their first electromagnetic propulsion system. Rather than relying on a rocket, the new device is only made up of a linear motor and a ramjet engine. The team behind the project also says that this would be the first system to fly beyond the sound barrier using a ramjet engine, arXiv reports. Although ideas related to this type of propulsion systems have been around for about 63 years, it was only in the late 1990s that officials at the agency started paying more attention to them. Using the linear method means that no rockets and solid/liquid fuel mixes will be needed again. Chemical reactions will no longer be the method of choice for delivering vehicles to orbit. Additionally, vast amounts of fuel will stop occupying most cargo space on even the largest rockets, which mean!
s that more advanced space technologies could be researched in the near future. Essentially, in the new system, a spacecraft is tethered to a track or rail, and is then accelerated by an electric motor to supersonic speed. “Linear motors are basically electric motors unwound.

Spotify has recently chosen to move to SGI Rackable C1001 half-depth servers and to standardize them at its collocation data center from Stockholm, Sweden. Spotify has become very popular during the past years as a high-quality, on-demand streaming-music service and is currently using custom-made SGI 1U high rack-mount servers that had to be able to sustain all the data-delivery demands as well as the processing necessities coming from the ever-increasing user base. Choosing SGI's servers, Spotify was able to reduce its energy costs and obtain twice the density within a similar footprint, compared with the values of its previous server provider. The streaming service has acquired more than five million users since it was launched, therefore it needed a server solution that could be easily adjusted and extremely dense but also energy efficient so that the continuously growing company could capitalize on reduced space and cut-down costs.

The precious satellite, accompanied by seven containers of auxiliary equipment, left its assembly building on September 15th via a large Antonov aircraft. It arrived in Arkhangelsk, the Russian Federation, in the wee hours of the morning, on September 16th, and was then immediately placed on trucks and driven to its designated train station.

For over twenty years, scientists and patients in Germany have been pooling resources together to secure government fundings for advanced research into the field of artificial retina prosthetics.

While other countries poured money in technology for space exploration and weapons, the European nation funded research into advancements that would benefit the people. At the international symposium “Artificial Vision,†which will take place in Bonn on 19 September 2009, three out of four teams presenting innovations are German. Organized by the Retina Implant Foundation (RIF) and the Pro Retina Foundation for the Prevention of Blindness (PRFPB), the meeting is set to showcase major advancements in this line of study that will have significant implications on the quality of life of patients suffering from blindness or other forms of visual impairments.

For over twenty years, scientists and patients in Germany have been pooling resources together to secure government fundings for advanced research into the field of artificial retina prosthetics. And advancements have been made at an ever-increasing rate. While other countries poured money in technology for space exploration and weapons, the European nation funded research into advancements that would benefit the people. At the international symposium “Artificial Vision,†which will take place in Bonn on 19 September 2009, three out of four teams presenting innovations are German. Organized by the Retina Implant Foundation (RIF) and the Pro Retina Foundation for the Prevention of Blindness (PRFPB), the meeting is set to showcase major advancements in this line of study that will have significant implications on the quality of life of patients suffering from blindness or other forms of visual impairments.

There have been whispers for some time that Sony is preparing to put out a 250 GB hard drive version of the PlayStation 3, initially packaged together with some of the big video game releases of the coming period. Some said that the new console version had been conceived by Sony as a multimedia center, complete with the ability to record TV shows in order to watch them later. Others speculated that the move was designed to counter the bundles that Microsoft was set to release in the coming months. Now, consumer blog Endgadget is offering an image that is said to show the box of the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves bundle, which includes the 250 GB hard drive PS3. It looks pretty legitimate, with all the colors right, images taken from the game on the box and the logos of the developer and publisher. Still, it could all be put together by an experienced Photoshop user, so gamers needn't get their hopes up yet. Sony is stating that, “As you know, we do not discuss speculative ru!

The instrument was unveiled at the European Planetary Science Congress, held in Potsdam, Germany, AlphaGalileo reports. “The feeling of ‘being right there’ will give scientists a much better understanding of the images. The only input we need are the captured raw images and the internal camera calibration.

Teen psychologists and parents have tried to figure out for a long time some of the triggers that make their children engage in violence before they turn 20 years old. In a new scientific study, experts propose that some of the youngsters do not possess the ability to correctly interpret social cues, such as the facial expressions of others around them, and also to empathize with others' intentions. Details of the research appear in the latest issue of BioMed Central’s open access journal Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, AlphaGalileo reports. A team of Japanese researchers, led by Kyoto University expert Wataru Sato and Naomi Matsuura from the Tokyo University of Social Welfare, ran a comparative analysis of 24 incarcerated male adolescents in the country's jails with a similar number of peers, but who had no history of violence. The end goal of the investigation was to recognize the emotional states that drove the delinquents to their deeds, the scien!

While an octopus is not generally regarded as being the most clever animal on the planet, its brain is looked at with respect by scientists. One simple reason for this is the fact that it can control eight limbs flawlessly, in very much the same way we control four. This trait that octopuses have is of great aid to researchers seeking to construct the next generation of highly flexible robots, which could have a lot to learn from how the animal performs its daily routines, Wired reports. The main difference that separates the human and the octopus brain resides in how body-part control is alloted in the motor cortex. While we have separate regions controlling the arms and legs, the octopus has several areas of the brain that control different limbs at different times. The motor cortex is therefore just as flexible, if not even more, than the rest of the body. The most difficult thing for the animals to do is not to control their eight limbs at once, but to ensure that the!
correct one of the never-ending movement possibilities is selected at all times, researchers say. “We think, because of the complexity of the octopus body and its variability, that it has another way of organizing its control system. That’s what we find in this study. It’s suited to a structure with many more degr...

HTTP:: Jennifer Lopez Pours Herself in Victoria Beckham Dress
--------
One of the things often reproached to Victoria Beckham as a designer is that the severe tailoring and design of her creations only target women such as herself, meaning, with almost no body fat at all. The other day, singer Jennifer Lopez, famous for her curves, did the unthinkable and proved that any woman could shine in a VB creation if she had enough confidence in herself â€" and money to afford it. All three lines coming from Victoria Beckham put sophistication above comfort and practicality. The same goes for the beige, figure-hugging dress Lopez chose for the meeting with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus at the US Capitol. Zipped up all the way to the back, the dress clearly did not allow Lopez to walk properly, but, for what it’s worth, it looked stunning on her. The singer matched the VB creation with beige Louboutins and the Ferragamo blush-colored “Musa†python clutch. With her hair in a simple ponytail, !
Jennifer Lopez was the very symbol of elegance and sophistication, showing at the same time that not only size 0 models could strut in Beckham’s designs. However, they say, it takes a lot of confidence to wear such a dress, especially since, because of the cut, it tends to cling to every fold, c...
