The Minogue sisters, Kylie and Dannii, were very open in the past about the long-gone days when they too became heavy users of Botox, which had often made them look “frozen†in publicity shots and on the red carpet. Similarly, both vouch they have made the decision to age naturally and gracefully, with Dannii now opening to The Sun about the depression that completely shattered her body confidence and made her turn to the regular jabs to hold on to her youthful looks. In May 2005, Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer â€" it was then that the ordeal began for Dannii, the X Factor judge tells the British tabloid. Her career was at a very low point, and then she got the news of her sister’s cancer. As if that wasn’t enough to send her into depression, shortly afterwards, a close friend of hers also passed away, which brought Dannii so low, she admittedly could hardly look at herself in the mirror. She turned to Botox to help her boost her diminished body confidence !
and, for a while, it actually worked, she says. “My sister was sick, then my best friend died soon after â€" I felt I’d been hit by a wave. I couldn’t deal with the stress. I couldn’t deal with having to look at my face. It was a personal thing of having to get through a lot of sadness...

Activision has officially confirmed that its Blur racing video game is now slated for a 2010 release. The title was initially set to arrive before Christmas, but the publisher decided that the team that developed it needed some more time in order to make sure that the quality was on par with the expectations that gamers had of Blur. Mike Griffith, who is both the chief executive officer and the president of Activision Publishing, has said that, “We are committed to making Blur a great new racing franchise, and we are very encouraged by the game's design. The additional time will allow the studio to fully optimize the vision they set out to create for Blur including a distinctive and groundbreaking multiplayer mode that will appeal to a broad audience.†The official position could be partly true, but Blur was also probably pushed back because of the strong competition that it was facing in the marketplace. Need for Speed: Shift has just been released by Electronic Arts!
and the tougher, more simulation-minded title is initially receiving a strong, positive response from gamers, while Microsoft is set to soon release Forza 3 Motorsport and Sony prepares Gran Turismo 5 for this year. These are very strong brand names and Blur, a new, intellectual property that aims to introduce some pretty interesting concept...

The Xbox 360 has received several other controllers along the years, besides the standard black and white models. Now, it looks like a brand-new set of clothes will come for the device. Appearing only in the GameStop schedule, Microsoft seems to be preparing a red and black controller for the Xbox, expected to become available at the mentioned store on October 15. The red and black wireless adapter for the 360 will be priced by GameStop at $69.99. A cool $20 over the standard wireless controller from Microsoft, the red and black model will also come with a black Play & Charge Kit. Normally, this is available on the market for the exact $20 price difference of the two controllers, so the market value of the new one is pretty much the same as the old ones.

Rosenberg, who has kept quiet on the subject until now, is finally breaking her silence to point out that all the rumors that are being circulated in the media are actually doing more harm to the “Twilight†franchise than good. This happens because it helps create the confusion that the love story the two play onscreen also translates in real life, she believes.

Most BlackBerrys feature a dedicated button that will need to be pressed, so you can actually lock the keyboard. LockIt offers the same feature without the need to press anything, as it will simply do it automatically. I'm sure there are times when you forget to lock your device after a call, especially if you're concentrated on something else. This simple, easy-to-use application ensures that you won't mistakenly dial a number, while keeping you smartphone in your pocket. LockIt functions like a safe mechanism, by locking your device automatically after a certain period of inactivity, which has been previously defined. To unlock the device, you will need to press a combination of keys. The software is also available for BlackBerry smartphones with touchscreens. You will be able to a!

The Spice Girls disbanded in 2001 to pursue solo careers but, following heavy demand from fans and some failed attempts at breaking into the music industry as solo artists, they reunited in 2007. In the immediate future, the five singers might join forces again to make another comeback, E! Online says, citing a recent statement from Geri Halliwell. Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton recently stepped out for dinner in London. Although Victoria Beckham was notably absent from the unofficial reunion (which might as well have been just a night out with the girls), as she was away on business promoting her latest fashion line, reunion rumors immediately began to circulate. Halliwell, on her part, is not doing anything to infirm them, E! points out. “The Spice Girls […] are mulling another reunion tour, with the ringleader of this latest attempt being the one who originally broke up the girl-powered quintet, Geri Halliwell.

--------
Experts from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have recently developed a new series of structures, constructed entirely out of the relatively new carbon compound graphene and strands of DNA, which is the building block of all living things. The team, which worked closely with scientists from the Princeton University, realized that there had been virtually no studies done on this type of combination, and decided to fill in the gaps. PNNL experts Zhiwen Tang and Yuehe Lin were the leaders of the new investigation, which resulted in nanostructures made entirely out of graphene and DNA. The interactions that appeared between the two components were tracked using a fluorescent protein. Preliminary studies seem to indicate that single-stranded DNA interacts with the carbon compound much stronger than its double-stranded sibling. The team inferred this by analyzing how much the fluorescence of the marker protein changed.In their exper!

Her father, a military man, was very aggressive and had a short fuse with her, her sister Rachel and her mother, the singer reveals.

HTTP:: Windows Embedded CE 6 0 R3 Gets a Silverlight Makeover
--------
Microsoft Corp. announced on Tuesday the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3, enhanced with Microsoft Silverlight, which should provide a rich application experience through Silverlight for Windows Embedded user interface (UI) framework. The new release is expected to enable designers and developers to make improvements to the UI capabilities of their Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based devices, and also to deliver their products faster and with less associated costs. “With the release of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3, Microsoft has furthered its commitment to energize the evolution of consumer Internet devices (CIDs), which fall between Smartphones and the full-featured, small Windows-based notebooks, by empowering our OEM and developer ecosystem with innovative, new technologies to fuel rich, animated and compelling user experiences,†said Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded Business Unit at Microsoft.

HTTP:: Coercive Interrogation Destroys Memories
--------
As evidenced countless times in jails around the world, including the US-operated Guantanamo Bay prison, in Cuba, torture has not yet been completely removed from common practice, when it comes to interrogating prisoners. During the Bush administration, torture was used extensively to collect data from so-called terrorist suspects, which have, to this day, to be charged with anything. Among these techniques, waterboarding is the most common, as evidenced by reports by the US Army. However, psychologists demonstrated recently that torture did not aid jailers in collecting the data they needed. According to a new scientific paper published by Cell Press in the September 21st issue of the journal Trends in Cognitive Science, it would appear that hardcore methods of extracting information may play a larger role in degrading and destroying the memories, than in retrieving them. The experts demonstrate that repetitive and extreme stress applied to the brain actually damages the !
brain tissue, and impairs the cognitive mechanisms that are related to memory formation and storage, as well as to other neural functions, e! Science News reports.

In their own time, ninjas were perfect at hiding themselves in the shadows, and at navigating the darkness flawlessly, away from any light. However, in modern time, they would be easily discovered by a soldier wearing infrared goggles, as ScienceDaily accurately points out. In an attempt to translate this reasoning to the vastness of space, experts are currently building the most sensitive detector to date, which will have the ability to hunt elusive sky “ninjas†that hide in the dark and cold places between galaxies. The new instrument is called the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), ScienceDaily reports. The new, wide-angle, orbit-based telescope will be able to detect even the dimmest traces of light or infrared-wavelength radiation coming in from the spaces between stars and galaxies. For a while, astronomers believed that these recesses of the skies were empty, but recent discoveries in the field taught them better than that. Vast dust clouds, brown dwarf!

A new study offered by OTX through its GamePlan Insights service shows that a lot of those players who have picked up the new Halo 3: ODST are also set to buy Modern Warfare 2 when the title is released on November 10. This is good news for Microsoft and Activision and might prove to be pretty bad news for other publishers and other video games, which are set to be released in the run up to Christmas. OTX is estimating that the average gamer will be buying three full-priced video games for this holiday season. This means that there's a lot of competition between franchises and publishers and creating associations between two series can be beneficial to both sides. Nick Williams from GamePlan is saying that, “Data collected in the first two weeks of September suggests that more than half of ODST intenders also plan to purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is indicative of the strong overlap between the two franchises.†Those who have bought Halo 3: ODST, which!

Experts from the University of Alberta, in Canada, have recently discovered in a new study that chat and texting speak does not seem to adversely affect children's ability to learn language properly. Known among parents and teachers for the seemingly barbaric abbreviations it uses, the specific language that is employed today by teenagers to communicate via web posts, e-mail and text messages seems cryptic to many, and not at all easy to read. According to study author Connie Varnhagen, the language variation between written and spoken English is actually a good thing. In the new report, she underlines the fact that teens using chatspeak have no more difficulties spelling than those who do not use this form of communication. And there are plenty of people on the web obsessed with correct language, as there are users altering it in the most unbelievable ways.

It seems that the people at Relic are satisfied enough with the success of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, which was released earlier in the year, and are preparing to launch an expansion pack for it, which will be called Chaos Rising. At the moment, the company is not offering any more information, as the big revealing is set to come at some point in the month of October. Still, it is good news for all those who have played and enjoyed the hybrid between role playing and small-unit tactics that Relic has put together in Dawn of War II. The revealing was made in the PC Gamer podcast and, while details are really limited at the moment, it's safe to say, judging from the title, that the big addition will be the ability to play as a Chaos Legion.

It seems that the people at Relic are satisfied enough with the success of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, which was released earlier in the year, and are preparing to launch an expansion pack for it, which will be called Chaos Rising.

HTTP:: Operation Flashpoint 2 The Dragon Rises with Stunning Beauty

Codemasters released today a developer video for the sequel to Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, better known as simply Operation Flashpoint. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising gave away some of the technological wonders that it would encompass, through the “Fog of War†trailer that showcased the state of the art technology involved in generating the visual effects and background. Codemasters developers came in front of the camera to explain to gamers everywhere the science behind the game but also the result it produces. The trailer also contains gameplay footage and a small presentation of the game editor that can be very well described as being user friendly and highly accessible. All this will come together to form one of the most beautiful-looking titles of the year. The game will be released on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with launch dates set on October 6 for the U.S. and 8 for the PAL, while the UK launch will take place on October 9. The launch w!

Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), in Monterotondo, Italy, were recently somewhat disappointed at the result of one of their investigations, before they realized that they had in fact stumbled upon something great. The team essentially found that white blood cells known as macrophages played a huge role in healing injured muscles, and also that the entire process was controlled by a molecular switch that was also identified. From now on, scientists could use these results to try new treatments for a number of medical conditions, PhysOrg reports. According to the paper detailing the finds, which appears in the latest issue of the respected journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, sport-related injuries, and even diseases such as the Duchenne muscular dystrophy, could all be treated faster than currently possible in the future, with the help of the new finds.

HTTP:: Survey Shows More Turn to the Internet to Find Lost Loves

Parting with a loved one can be a heartbreaking experience that few would ever want to revisit. However, in recent months, the number of those searching online for their former flames has increased so much it has given birth to what they call the “Ex Files,†the Daily Mail says. Most of them, though, just want to know how their ex is doing and have no intention to pursue a reconciliation. An older survey has shown that online dating can â€" and does â€" in many instances lead to true love. However, of the respondents to the latest poll, few are those who actually search for an ex online in order to rekindle the romance. Although almost half of those who log online have also searched an old flame, only four percent admit to doing so with the clear purpose of a reconciliation. Even more surprising, about seven percent actually do rekindle the romance, even if they were the ones to get the boot. “One in four is searching for a childhood sweetheart, one in five for an !

Common sense would dictate it takes experience and lots of practice to get all the know-how to be a pure and respected fashionista, but, for Tavi Gevinson, it all comes naturally. The 13-year-old born in Chicago and running a blog called Style Rookie has not only managed to increase her audience to 1.5 million hits a month, but also to turn herself into the latest darling of the fashion industry. Just recently, Tavi was to be found in the front row of all the hot shows at the New York Fashion Week, a feat even veteran fashion editors envy her for. However, it’s not just her writing that’s getting fashion insiders singing her praises, but also her unmistakable style. While her mates are cramming for tests, Tavi is busy customizing designer pieces for an image that has been labeled anything from quirky to highly innovative.
