Microsoft to launch smartphones on October

Microsoft Corp will formally offer a series of smartphones using the latest version of its Windows operating system on October 11 which will be sold exclusively by AT&T, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The newspaper, citing "people familiar with the launch plans," said the US software giant will offer three Windows Phone 7 smartphones with handsets made by South Korea's Samsung and LG Electronics and Taiwan's HTC.

The Journal said AT&T will be the initial exclusive US carrier for the phones, which will go on sale the week of November 8.

Microsoft has been under pressure to come up with new smartphones to rival Apple, which controls the market with its popular iPhone, and many other companies that have launched devices using Google's Android.

According to market research firm Gartner, Microsoft's share of the worldwide mobile operating system market will fall to 4.7 percent this year from 8.7 percent last year.

AT&T will be the initial exclusive U.S. carrier for the Windows Phone 7 smartphones and will offer three handsets -- one each made by Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and HTC Corp, the report said.

In emails to AFP, Microsoft said it is "on track to deliver Windows Phone 7 this holiday" but does not comment on "rumors and speculation."

Taliban monkeys

Taliban Trains Monkeys To Fight American Soldiers?

The US-led forces fighting the Taliban fighters in Afghanistan might soon encounter 'gun-totting' monkeys, trained for 'jihad', if a rumour doing the rounds in the Chinese media is to be believed.

According to most reports - this is simply a rumor that began on the Internet and has since gained some steam.

NATO officials and military experts have scoffed at the report originating in the Chinese media, which says that the Taliban are training monkeys to fight the US-led military. The New York Post cited the state-run People's Daily as saying that the Taliban is "training monkeys to use weapons to attack American troops".

Here's an excerpt from this article:

The Rumor Doctor had to investigate this case of primal fear after the Chinese People’s Daily reported this week that “monkey terrorists” are being trained by the Taliban in Waziristan, near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The newspaper also claimed that reporters from an unnamed British news agency took photographs of the “monkey soldiers” holding AK-47s and other weapons.The primates are supposedly meant to counter U.S. military technological advantages in Afghanistan.

“In response, the Taliban forces have tried any possible means and figured out a method to train monkeys as ‘replacement killers’ against American troops,” according to the newspaper. The Rumor Doctor asked NATO officials whether these killer monkeys have yet been encountered on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

“We have absolutely nothing that leads us to believe that this tale could be even remotely based in reality,” said NATO spokesman Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale.

lorcaserin

Lorcaserin,Wonder Diet Drug Is Safe,  Study Finds

An experimental weight loss drug that targets the brain’s hunger center was shown to be safe and effective for helping dieters shed pounds in a two-year study, researchers say.

The drug lorcaserin works on the serotonin receptor -- the same appetite-controlling hormone targeted by the notorious drug fenfluramine, the "fen" component of combination medication fen-phen. Fenfluramine was taken off the market in 1997 after being linked to potentially life-threatening heart valve problems.

But lorcaserin is far more selective than the drug fenfluramine and much safer, its manufacturer says, because it specifically targets the serotonin receptor associated with hunger while having no impact on the heart.
Half Lost 5% of Body Weight

Half of the dieters in the study lost at least 5% of their body weight, compared to 20% of dieters who took a placebo pill. About one in five lorcaserin users lost 10% or more of their body weight, compared to one out of 14 placebo users.

People who continued on the drug for two years were able to maintain their weight loss better than those switched to placebo after one year, researcher Steven R. Smith, MD, of the Florida Hospital and the Sanford-Burnham Institute tells WebMD.

The study appears in the July 15 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

By the end of year one, 55% of the patients in the placebo group and 45% of those taking the diet drug had dropped out of the study.

During the second year, half of the remaining participants who had been taking lorcaserin were switched to placebo.

The average weight loss during the first year was about 12 pounds in the lorcaserin group and 5 pounds in the placebo group. During the second year of the study, 68% of people who continued to take the weight loss drug maintained the loss vs. 50% of people switched to placebo.

Ryan Reynolds debuts 'Green Lantern' costume

Ryan Reynolds is set to star as the Green Lantern and his alter-ego Hal Jordan in a movie by the same name that is set for release on June 17, 2011 and a sequel is already in the works as well.

One scene in the film involves him being hurled through the air at 60 feet per second to create the illusion of flight, according to Entertainment Weekly, which features the 34-year-old Canadian actor in his superhero costume on its latest cover.

The Green Lantern also stars Blake Lively, who plays Serena on the hit CW series Gossip Girl, as Jordan's love interest Carol Ferris as well as Peter Sarsgaard, who plays his enemy Hector Hammond. The director is Martin Campbell, who directed the 2010 Mel Gibson film Edge of Darkness, the James Bond movie Casino Royale in 2006 and the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro and its 2003 sequel.

Michael Goldenberg, Brothers & Sisters writer and producer Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim penned the screenplay for The Green Lantern, while the latter three have also been tapped to write The Green Lantern 2, which is in development and has not been given a release date.

Reynolds recently suffered a minor injury while training for the film off its sets and has since been back to work and production was not affected, Entertainment Weekly said. Reynolds was cast as the Green Lantern last year after beating out Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto, who went through two rounds of screen tests, according to Us Weekly magazine.

Reynolds played Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine alongside Hugh Jackman in 2009 and the title character in the 2002 comedy film Van Wilder, which starred Tara Reid. He also starred in the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl from 1998 to 2001.

The actor, who married actress Scarlet Johansson in Canada in 2008, began his career on Canadian television, starring in shows such as the teen soap opera Hillside, also called Fifteen, in 1990 and the sci-fi teen series The Odyssey.

Aimee Louise Sword

Aimee Louise Sword ,Woman who had sex with teenage son sent to prison

   Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township, Detroit,USA who used the Internet to track down the 14-year-old son she gave up for adoption when he was only 2 days old was sentenced Monday to nine years in prison for having sex with the boy.

    Aimee Louise Sword, 36, entered a guilty plea to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in exchange for the dismissal of two other sex offenses that involved her son. Before sentencing by Oakland Circuit Judge Daniel P. O'Brien, Sword -- who has five other children -- apologized for her actions.

    "I want to apologize to the court, my children and my sister," Sword told O'Brien. "I am remorseful for everything that occurred. ... I don't understand it."

    Assistant Prosecutor Nicki Weisberger described Sword as committing a "selfish, cowardly, despicable act" with the boy, now 16. At a preliminary exam in January, the teenager testified she contacted him in 2008 while he was living with an adoptive family in Grand Rapids. Sex acts later occurred at a motel and at the home of one of Sword's relatives in Waterford Township.

    Defense attorney Mitchell Ribitwer noted Sword entered a guilty plea to spare the teenager from having to testify at trial. Ribitwer said Sword utilized the Facebook website to contact the boy.- Detroit

Amber Riley

ACTRESS Amber Riley says her Glee  costars don't hate each other

Riley — who plays feisty Mercedes Jones in the smash hit US TV show — told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper that despite spending all day, every day together the cast try their best not to fight.

“You know, we spend sometimes 14 hours a day with one another,” she said.

“We rehearse together, we sing together, we travel together, so we have to make an effort to get along with one another.”

Riley and her Glee costars Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz previously admitted that they sometimes fight, but insisted the tension doesn’t last long.

Meanwhile, Oscar winning actor Javier Bardem has signed up to appear on Glee.

The star — who worked with Glee creator Ryan Murphy on new movie Eat Pray Love — will join the show’s cast next season as a rock star who becomes friends with Kevin McHale’s Artie.

“We’re going to rock the house,” Bardem told Entertainment Weekly magazine.

“We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin's political action comittee doc hints former Alaska Gov. Has her eye on the white House

Everybody knows that Sarah Palin has her eye on the White House, but news that the fiery former VP candidate has quietly amassed a million dollar war chest sparked a fresh round of reports Monday that she is wholeheartedly engineering a 2012 presidential bid.

A disclosure form filed by Palin's political action committee SarahPAC reveals the ex-Alaska governor has raised a serious stash of funds, donating at least $87,500 to fellow Republicans whose candidacies she has endorsed over the last few months.

"We're going to really help a lot of Republican candidates get a chance to win," Tim Crawford, the committee's treasurer, told Politico.com. "And I'm glad we have the resources there for the governor to use."

Palin's contributions are being interpreted as evidence that she is building a network of Republican supporters who will return the favor when she decides to run for President.

"In politics, donations – especially donations made as a vote nears – are favors that can produce return favors, with interest, in years to come," the Christian Science Monitor reports.

And Politico reports that the filing "suggests that she has begun building a more sophisticated political operation. SarahPAC raised $866,000 in the second quarter of this year and boasted more than $1 million at the time of the filing.- NYDAILYNEWS

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga Gets Nostalgic at NY Homecoming

At Lady Gaga's hometown headlining debut at Madison Square Garden Tuesday, the pop phenomenon proved she’s a regular girl at heart.
Although extravagant attires (including a nun-like transparent getup with two pieces of white tape on her chest), fake blood and sparks-shooting bras were still front and center, Gaga also made it a priority to show her gratitude by dedicating songs to her father, her fans, her native New York City and her friends.
“My name is Lady Gaga, and I used to sit right over there, way far in the back and way up top,” she said, pointing toward the top left side of the venue. “I saw Madonna, Cher, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, KISS. I used to stare at this side of the room, and I used to think, ‘I’m gonna be up there,’” she declared, gazing at her own elaborate stage. “So, every second you watch me on this stage, you remember I was sitting where you are,” Gaga said as the sold-out room roared in response.
Later in the show, Gaga dedicated a soaring performance of “Speechless” to her father, who was in the audience — one of the highlights of the evening. “I remember when he would carry my piano down the four flights of our walk-up when I had shows,” Gaga recalled about her father’s support during the early part of her career. “Of all the drunk men in my life, Dad, you’re my favorite,” she half-jokingly said as she dragged her high-heeled boots on the piano.

Gaga’s two-hour long concert was the first of three Monster Ball shows taking place this week in New York — she also played Wednesday and was due to play Friday. During her show, the star, her supporting cast and friend Posh — whom Gaga said once shared an apartment with her in Manhattan’s Lower East Side — enacted a trip around all over her beloved city, from Brooklyn to LES and Central Park by car, train and down a glittery road to make their way to the Monster Ball. “The monster ball will set you free!” she shouted...NEW YORK (BillBoard)

As for the $100 million figure, TMZ said it was not speculation but “comes from sources with direct knowledge of the property settlement agreement.”

TMZ also said Nordegren would receive child support for the couple’s two children but the amount was not known.

Christina Hendricks Cup Size

Update on Christina Hendricks Cup Size

Christiana Hendricks cup size is in the news now. The following is what she has to say:

About her Body Measurement and Cup Size : “Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous!” Hendricks, 35, tells the July/August issue of Health. “I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, Oh, I look like a woman. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, ’cause I loved it!”
On her gym routine:
“I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training. I’m really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I’m pretty good at it, I feel sort of like a Karate Kid.”
On her ‘vices’:
“I like salty, creamy foods. I could sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town! That would be on my last-supper list. But I discovered that dry French onion soup mix in nonfat yogurt tastes just as good. It really does!”
Finally, Hendricks, famed for her hourglass figure, discussed the question of the rapturous public reaction to her curvaceous body, saying: “All those times I had agents who were like, ‘You have to lose some weight,’ and all of a sudden, people are celebrating it. It’s like: ‘Oh, thank you! Thank you for letting me be me’.’

Being the most amazing, strong, heroic and incredible person I know … even though the guy was twice his size, Matthew intervened. He managed to subdue this guy for a second and, since his wife was beat up, called the cops … as he did so the guy jumped him from behind and beat him. This guy did things I can’t even type.”

Nicollette Sheridan's Lawsuit Has Been Dismissed By ABC As A 'Light Tap'

Nicollette Sheridan's Lawsuit Has Been Dismissed

Nicollette Sheridan has accused one of the Desperate Housewives producers of slapping her upside the head during a dispute. However, recently, According to the Hollywood Reporter,ABC has dismissed outrightly Nicollette Sheridan's accusations, claiming that Nicollette Sheridan is only exaggerating the touch for dramatic purposes. 
Actress Nicollette Sheridan, like every other one of the Desperate Housewives is known as a diva, is always being accused of having a flair for the melodramatic. And, much like the boy who cried wolf, it's really hard to determine what's what when someone like Nicollette Sheridan makes an accusation. 

Marisa Tomei

Marisa Tomei and John C. Reilly star in the movie 'Cyrus'

In “Cyrus,” John C. Reilly he’s is John, a sometime editor and layabout who, after seven years, is still reeling from his divorce. (He was dumped.) When he finds out his ex-wife (Catherine Keener) is remarrying, he goes into a tailspin but, in a deus ex machina moment, the woman of his dreams, Molly (Marisa Tomei) comes up to him at a party, and pretty soon they’re a couple. The catch: Her live-in, 21-year-old son Cyrus (Jonah Hill), Molly’s best friend and, as soon becomes obvious (though not to Molly), John’s worst enemy.

Cyrus is written and directed by the brothers Jay and Mark Duplass. Reilly doesn’t go for the obvious laughs. John’s ardor for Molly is actually quite touching, which is why, when Cyrus threatens to wreck his elation, he’s both bereft and enraged.

“Cyrus” slows down by the end, and even before then it’s often too mopey for its own good. But there’s an original comic temperament at work here, and that’s rare. Grade: B+ (Rated R for language and some sexual material.)

About Cap and Trade Definition

About Cap and Trade Definition
Today, there is a lot of buzzz about cap and trade.Cap and trade become hot topic today. But, what is Cap and trade definition? Why many people searching Cap and Trade Definition? According to www.ecomii.com the Cap and trade definition is one method for regulating and ultimately reducing the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere. It is viewed as a more democratic solution to regulating pollution than a carbon tax as it creates a commodity out of the right to emit carbon and allows the commodity to be traded on the free market.

The basic concept involves two parties, the governing body and the regulated companies or units emitting pollution. The government sets a cap on pollution, limiting the amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful output that companies, or other groups, are allowed to release. The government then issues credits which allow companies to pollute a certain amount, as long as the aggregate pollution equals less than the set cap...

Flag Day

America celebrates Flag Day

Monday marks the 125th celebration of National Flag Day.

The holiday originated in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. On June 14, 1885, a 19-year-old teacher placed a small American flag in a bottle on his desk. He then asked his students to write an essay about the meaning of the flag.

The teacher, Bernard J. Cigrand, spent many years advocating for the national observance of Flag Day. Over the years, 36 governors and five presidents urged the union to approve nationwide recognition of the holiday.

The Stars and Stripes was first implemented by Congress as the official flag of the United States on June 14, 1777.

President Woodrow Wilson named June 14 as National Flag Day in 1915. Cigrand was 50 years old.

Bob Etheridge Attacks Student: North Carolina Congressman Gets Rough With Interviewer (VIDEO)
Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-N.C.) appeared unreceptive to the question of an anonymous reporter this weekend, when he grabbed the self-identified "student" after he asked the congressman if he "fully supported the Obama agenda."

In the video, the North Carolina lawmaker is seen approaching the camera, while the reporter asks, "Hi, Congressman. How are you? Do you fully support the Obama agenda?"

Etheridge appears visibly irritated and immediately asks, "who are you?" before knocking the interviewer's camera to the ground.

In the next shot, Etheridge grabs the reporter's wrist and continually asks him to identify himself. The cameraman replies, "we're just here for a project...we're just students."

Kayla Today Show

Kayla Today ShowUpdate on Kayla Manson Today Show:Kayla Manson, a 13 year old girl, is probably most known for the life-threatening attack on her 15 year old friend Josie Ratley said the “c word” on the Today show twice during an appearance this morning. She was once accused as an accomplice by her boyfriend in the attempted murder of her best friend. During the time on the Today show, she was recounting a number of text messages that were related to the incident, that had been exchanged between her friend and boyfriend, just before he attacked her.
Apparently, several of the text messages contained the word, and she didn’t think to censor herself on live TV. She was probably nervous, but it certainly was not going to help people get a positive view of her character when she runs around saying things like that on live TV.
She said that she did not see the texts where her boyfriend had threatened to kill her friend. Instead, she had only seen the texts where they called each other names (presumably the c word).
Manson revealed that both of the messages that she saw, were the ones in which her friend called him a rapist, and one in which she called him a “c*nt.”
“We just have to be careful with our language, but that’s all right, sweetheart,” Meredith Vieira said.

Wow Server Status: Blizzard confirms 24 hours stop

Good and bad news about WOW server status for players of World of Warcraft. For 24 hours the game servers in the United States will stop. We assume that WOW Europe  will stop too, but so far there is no confirmation. The reason is the Cataclysm update.

Given the radical nature of this expansion and to start the real Beta Test, World of Warcraft closed for 24 hours where changes will be uploaded for the Cataclysm update, but for now, not for normal users.

That means that the steps for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm are progressing and that, little by little, we will see more news on WOW Forums.

Rima Fakih Pole Dancing

Star Magazine reported that Michigan's Rima Fakih won a contest for pole dancing in 2007 at the Coliseum strip club.

The contest was sponsored by the radio show "Mojo in the Morning". The show's head DJ said, “The strippers there taught the contestants how to do moves like ‘booty poppin’ and pole dancing. Rima told us at the time that she was a model — and her routine was awesome! She definitely deserved to win.”

Mojo In The Morning reports that they have been contacted by people from the Miss Universe headquarters asking for more information about the pole dancing contest. They say they asked if her title was in danger, and did not receive an answer.

Lucky for her, Fakih has nothing to worry about. Donald Trump has no plans to get rid of her like he did Carrie Prejean. He was fine with it since Rimia Fakih was fully clothed. Trump stated, “We back her to the hilt."

So far the Lakers bench has outscored the Suns, 18-13.

Sasha Vujacic entered the game at the 6:31 mark, his first appearance since getting hurt in the final regular season game. Robin Lopez, the Suns center, has also done well so far and has six points and two boards.

In his news conference before the game Phil Jackson talked about the report in The Times on Monday that Kobe Bryant recently needed to have his knee drained of fluids.

"It's a concern, we're dealing with it and think we have it under control," Jackson said. Bryant has had his knee drained one or two times before and Jackson said, but would not say when the latest procedure occurred, other than to say "a ways back."

George Whitefield

Indiana University East associate professor of communications Jerome Mahaffey will be a guest on the Glenn Beck show, "Founding Founders' Friday" at 5 p.m. Friday on FOX News, Channel 52 on the Richmond Comcast cable system.

Mahaffey was a guest on the series to discuss the founding fathers of the American Revolution. The episode, which was filmed at Fox Studios in New York Tuesday night, involved a conversation on George Whitefield, an influential minister in America from 1740 to 1770 - a time when there was no "separation" of church and state, Mahaffey said.

Whitefield (pronounced Whit-field) was a forgotten founder, without whom there would have been no American Independence in 1776, Mahaffey added.

Generally, Whitefield is justly criticised in connection with his work amongst the first Africans in America.

He did not fight against slavery. At the Orphanage he built in Bethesda, Georgia, he purchased slaves, who although they were treated well, were nevertheless, slaves.

Whitefield felt his responsibility was to preach to slave owners, and to correct abuses.

He certainly didn’t agree with the harsh treatment of slaves, but whether he acquiesced with the institution, or whether he merely felt he could do nothing, his failure to use his influence to end slavery, or even begin a serious debate to end slavery, was certainly a sin of omission on his part.

Delonte West Gloria James

There is a disturbing story coming exclusively from Terez Owens news that one of  LeBron’s teammate,  Delonte West,  is sleeping with LeBron’s Mother Gloria James. he report also claims that perhaps Lebron found out this relationship before game four and it perhaps destroyed their team’s chemistry and divided their team.
A source explains the following:
”My uncle is the general contractor at the Q and has been for the last 7 years. He’s good friends with a lot of guys at the Q, including some of the bigger boys in the organization and knows Dan Gilbert personally.My uncle has been told that Delonte has been banging Gloria James (Lebron’s Mom) for some time now. Somehow Lebron found out before game four and it destroyed their chemistry and divided the team. I am not making this up, I wish it wasn’t true but it happened. .”

Lena Horne Funeral

Jazz great Lena Horne, who died Sunday at age 92, was remembered by hundreds of mourners at New York's St. Ignatius Loyola church on Friday (May 14).

Among those who honored Horne were singers Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson. Keys gives Horne credit for being a heavy influence on the music industry and women. When Horne passed Janet Jackson tweeted ‘The passing of Lena Horne, a remarkable woman, is truly a great loss.’

"[She] was so many ideas existing all at the same time, in the same space, and they were all conflicting, and they were all true," Lumet said, according to reports. "I've tried to sum her up and I can't. ... Summing up really means it's over, and I think she's not over and that she's quite infinite." 

7 Year Old Single Ladies

Early Show hosts on CBS discuss the gone viral video of 7 year old girls performing a hyper sexualized dance in hyper sexualized costumes to the tune of Beyonce's Single Ladies. These little girls have parents???

According to Sarah Kaufman, Washington Post Staff Writer "The signs are all there: The hip-grinding come-ons. Legs kicked up to the ear. Skin-baring lingerie.

This particular video remake of Beyoncé's 2008 hit "Single Ladies" follows a rubric of raunchy moves straight out of the pole-dance manual.

But the performers, according to published reports, are 7-year-olds.

Their satin-and-lace hooker look screams Lolita. The whole two-minute display seems one crotch-shot short of illegal.

And with nearly 2 million hits, the clip of five enthusiastically gyrating grade-schoolers (dubbed "Little Girls Going Hard on Single Ladies") taped at the World of Dance Competition in Pomona, Calif., last month has gone viral."

Noah s Ark Found In Turkey

Evangelical explorers claim to have found pieces of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat.

The group believes that the wooden structure they’ve located is part of a ship.

Unequal Time reports, “… above the 12,000-foot mark on the Turkish mountain, and they have released a number of photographs depicting the interior of a wooden structure. If the structure does exist at that high altitude and can be authenticated as the result of ancient construction it almost certainly rules out the possibility that it is the remains of a primitive human settlement.”

Hong Kong-based Noah's Ark Ministries said the structure had been found on Mount Ararat at about 14-thousand-700 feet.
Wood from the structure has reportedly been carbon-dated to reveal it to be about 48-hundred years old.
The group says that would put it about the same time as the Biblical story of Noah leading animals onto a boat to save them from a devastating flood.
