HTTP:: Kelly Osbourne Flaunts Newly Slim Body in OK
--------
Kelly Osbourne has long battled the extra pounds, even resorting to some of the most unorthodox methods to lose weight, like starving herself and taking fistfuls of laxatives. Until just recently, she never quite managed to keep whatever weight she lost off, and that’s mostly because her lifestyle was not healthy by far, she says. In the latest issue of OK! magazine, the one-time singer and television personality flaunts her new body, the one she got with dancing and eating right. Kelly is now a very healthy size 8, after spending countless hours in the rehearsal studio preparing for Dancing With the Stars, beginning to eat much better food and focusing on her wellbeing more than anything. She has lost weight and she’s more than proud to show off her new figure in a wonderful photospread for the magazine, which has her donning short, tight and brightly colored dresses that put her strongest suits on display. The mag also comes with an interview in which Kelly goes a bit!
more into detail about how it’s like to be a contestant on the ever-so-popular televised competition and how annoying she finds always having her confidence brought up. She also speaks of her birthday and the presents she got, including a black Pomeranian. “I’m going to name him Sid. I had to get a kids’ p...

Digital images are now part of all our lives and we encounter them almost everywhere. Today, we have right at our fingertips both the technology and the ability to produce and edit pictures with insignificant effort. There are hundreds of applications that can help you change anything about a graphic file and all you need to do is reach out and pick the right one for you. Many utilities try to do it all and offer you an exhaustive tool for all purposes but often fail because of lack of attention insofar as details are concerned. Then again, once in a while, you come across a piece of software focused on one task but so good at it that you'll keep and use it for a long time.When it comes to converting images, the range of available apps is nearly limitless even though the possible uses and facilities they can supply are roughly the same. The difference is made by the price you have to pay for such a piece of software, by the complexity of features and quality it provides. If!
you're on the lookout for a utility that can work with several picture files and formats at once with high processing speed and great looking output, you may want to take a closer look at Moo0 ImageTypeConverter. It offers you, in a small package, all the capabilities of a much larger and complex application with the great advantage of being free of cost.

Some little guy comes up with a great idea and then some bigger guy decides that he should do it too. It's usually how things work in any industry and now, Left 4 Dead 2 may take some hints from Splosion Man. The zombie shooter could offer wearable Avatar items for in-game accomplishments. MTV Multiplayer spotted a post on the official Steam Forums where the user “Fade Guy†found an interesting little treat regarding the game and shared it with the rest of the community. Inside a .txt file from the demo of L4D2, several items are listed in correlation with a particular achievement. The items are a frying pan, a med kit and some t-shirts and are split in two categories. The first is "in game" and the other one is "xlast," which probably refers to the Xbox 360 version and its Avatar items.

Best Buy has announced today that the recently unveiled Motorola DROID, the first handset to reach Verizon Wireless' airwaves with Google's Android operating system on board, is now available for pre-order from Best Buy Mobile. The new handset will hit the shelves on November 6, yet users should know that those who will pre-order it from Best Buy will not have to come up with the mail-in rebate Verizon Wireless included in the phone's price. In other words, Verizon customers will only pay $199.99 for the device upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the carrier. “We’re excited to feature this new device for our consumers, as it represents the latest and greatest in mobile technology,†said Best Buy Mobile President Shawn Score. “Bringing the DROID to Best Buy Mobile expands our already unmatched assortment of smartphones allowing customers to compare high-end devices like the iPhone 3GS, HTC Hero and DROID all under one roof.

Here are some of the viewpoints in this debate. “Influenza vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect people from contracting illness during influenza epidemics and pandemics.

HTTP:: How to Kill Resilient Worms
--------
Scientists have recently developed a new method of destroying a class of parasitic worms, which is so hard to kill, that it has spread to a point where it inhabits all the people in several African villages. The tiny invaders are so well adapted to everything one gets to throw at them, that they seem to survive all antibiotic therapies, for example, without suffering any side-effects. Now, experts have determined that adopting an indirect method of destroying the worms may be the most suitable approach. Therefore, they have devised a course of treatment that is not aimed at destroying the worms themselves, but rather the bacterium cultures these organisms have inside them. The method draws its inspiration from the basic knowledge of our bodies, which holds that we die if all the bacteria inside our gut are removed. We live in symbiosis with them, and neither of us can survive separately. The same holds true for the Mansonella perstans worm, which lives inside people in re!
mote African villages, Wired reports. A type of bacteria, called wolbachia, has become absolutely necessary to the parasite's survival over the course of its evolution. As such, they have become the primary target for a new therapy, which aims at destroying them. Without the bacteria, the worms soon die too, experts say. This roundabout way proves to be...

HTTP:: Camera Can Reveal Firing Neurons
--------
Each and every action that we perform, be it a thought or an actual movement of an arm or leg, is done via electrical impulses. These impulses travel through neurons in nerve fibers from head to toe in extremely brief periods of time, a trait that allows us to perform sudden movements, and not experience “lags†between the time when our brain issues a command (we think about moving), and the actual motion. Observations of how electrical signals travel through neural fibers have just become possible, with the development of a new, super slow-motion camera, able to record one million frames per second. Previous studies determined that electrical impulses traveled through nerves at about 180 kilometers per hour, which is extremely fast for something without an engine. The new camera, which only works in black and white, is able to make out individual signals hurtling through the nerve channels at these high speeds, and has such a resolution that it allows it to film micr!
osecond-long impulses as they go by, in essence. According to the team that constructed the camera, the instrument has an accuracy of about 100 picoseconds. A picosecond is one trillionth (a millionth millionth) of a second. The “active element†inside the new instrument that allows for these extreme feats of engineering is the ...

After having successfully docked to the International Space Station (ISS), in spite of being an experimental design, the unmanned Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), a cargo freighter, is getting ready to undock from the station and meet its fiery demise upon atmospheric reentry. Members of Expedition 21 spent yesterday performing unloading operations, and clearing the HTV of all the supplies it contained. The Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) was unsure whether the craft would reach its destination, so all the supplies that did make it, a couple of tons, were in excess. When experts plan how to divide the task of refueling the space station, they do not take into account experimental, new designs that might fail.

Dustin Browder, who is the show runner for Starcraft II and who has also worked on the Command & Conquer series and on MechWarrior 2, talked about how difficult it had been to actually decide how much to keep from the original title and how much to innovate for the sequel.

Last Thursday, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta space probe managed to perform one of the most successful trajectory correction maneuvers (TCM), according to officials at the agency. The spacecraft's gravity-assist maneuver was very close to projections, and it is now well on its way to meeting up and studying the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in 2014. The spacecraft also contains the Philae lander, whose main purpose is to land on the space rock, and provide in situ measurements of its characteristics, AlphaGalileo reports. “The maneuver was very close to the predicted and required amount. We will continue to analyze the results to determine whether we will need any additional maneuvers,†ESA Flight Dynamics lead specialist Trevor Morley says. A number of scientific sources was used to infer the new conclusion, the expert adds, including the telemetry radioed down by Rosetta, and Doppler / ranging data received from ESA and NASA ground stations. The Ros!

We will continue to analyze the results to determine whether we will need any additional maneuvers,†ESA Flight Dynamics lead specialist Trevor Morley says. A number of scientific sources was used to infer the new conclusion, the expert adds, including the telemetry radioed down by Rosetta, and Doppler / ranging data received from ESA and NASA ground stations. The Ros!
etta telemetry also included star-tracker data and parameters related to fuel usage and thruster operations, which were extremely useful in determining the chances the spacecraft had of meeting its target. There were some highly complex mathematics involved in planning the meeting between the space probe and the comet, and all of ...

Coming to show that, indeed, most women would deem it necessary that they lost one pound more, researchers have found that men consider size-0 women (and especially celebrities) not in the least bit attractive, the BBC can confirm. Most women, researchers have learned, think they could always stand to lose a few pounds more, which is why many have come to believe that size 0, the frail, stick-thin figure, is the one they should aspire to achieve. Men, on the contrary, not only deem size 0 as not at all attractive, but they would also choose the likes of a Scarlett Johansson over a Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham. “In our study, people in the normal weight range were judged healthier and more attractive than under or overweight individuals. This sends a strong message to all the girls out there who believe you have to be und!

Americans are the most interested in getting content via digital distribution and with online payment. 43% of those questioned who own gaming consoles are saying they get extra levels through digital download, with 40% sharing that they get paid content through it.
