It appears that the fantasies of many libidinous male soccer fans (and many non fans, presumably) have been answered as the fetching goalkeeper of the U.S. Women’s National Team, Hope Solo, hinted on her twitter account on Tuesday that she will pose naked in the famed “Body Issue” of ESPN The Magazine.

“The Body Issue” features male and female professional athletes posing naked in a tasteful fashion. Last year’s issue had photos of Serena Williams, Dwight Howard and Adrian Peterson in the buck, among many others.

As she recently told The Huffington Post’s Jordan Schultz, Solo has been very busy in recent weeks following the conclusion of the Women’s World Cup, in which her U.S. team was defeated in the final by Japan.

“I flew to LA when most people went home, and I did the media circuit there,” she told The Huffington Post. “I think that’s our responsibility; I need to keep the awareness of the game out there, but I also need to thank our fans.”

Despite the tremendous outpouring of support the team received during the World Cup and the tireless efforts of Solo and her teammates since returning home, the Women’s Professional Soccer League continues to struggle, seemingly unable to carry the World Cup interest over to the domestic league.

Verizon Wireless has released the system software upgrades it promised for two of its Windows phones, the HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Ozone.

HTC Touch Pro2 for VerizonThese devices were released last year with Windows Mobile 6.1, but they can now be upgraded to the latest version of Microsoft’s Mobile operating system.

The HTC Touch Pro2 — a high-end model with a slide-and-tilt WVGA touchscreen and large keyboard — can be upgraded to Mobile 6.5 Professional.

The HTC Ozone — an inexpensive messaging-oriented model with a QVGA display and small keyboard — can be upgraded to to Mobile 6.5 Standard.

More about Windows Mobile 6.5

The latest version of Microsoft’s operating system for high-end phones isn’t a major upgrade. The most significant changes are included in the Professional edition.

This version of Windows Mobile 6.5 is more fingertip friendly, with many on-screen elements enlarged so users can select them without a stylus. Windows Mobile 6.5 also has more of a focus on consumers, as the Today Screen has been modified to include items like a music player and photo viewer.

Both the Standard and the Pro editions come with a new version of Internet Explorer, and have access to Microsoft’s new on-device software store.

An overview of the changes can be found in this article: Windows Mobile 6.5 Review.

Upgrade Now

These system software upgrades are available from the website of Verizon’s partner, PCD:

HTC Touch Pro2

HTC Ozone

Both are free to download and use.

Installing either of these ROM updates will erase everything that’s on the smartphone, so it’s important to back up any files before installation. This doesn’t apply to files that are on a removable memory card.

Remember Google’s Chrome “Bug Bounty” program? Well, when Google released Google Chrome 12, it announced on its blog that it rewarded developers/researchers who found vulnerabilities (bugs) in its code. Earlier in August 2010, it was reported that Google gave away a total estimate of $10k of rewards. Mozilla too has the bug bounty program which pays $3,000 in hard cash plus a free Mozilla T-shirt for finding bugs!

Facebook has joined Google and Mozilla, and is following the “Bug Bounty” program, by rewarding its security researchers. However, the reward offered is way too less. For security related bugs – cross site scripting flaws, for example – the company will pay a base rate of $500, but if they’re highly significant flaws, Facebook has promised to pay more. However, the company executives haven’t revealed the bonus reward.

“To show our appreciation for our security researchers, we offer a monetary bounty for certain qualifying security bugs,” Facebook stated on its portal.

Facebook launched a new Whitehat hacking portal where researchers can sign up for the program and report bugs. They have also published a list of about 42 researchers who have made “responsible disclosures” in the past.

With over 750 million active users, looks like Facebook is highly concerned about its security issues. Facebook hired a computer hacker who was recently sued by Sony for hacking the online gaming system PlayStation 3, last month

If a bug has been discovered, the researchers are asked to provide as much information as possible. In order to receive the award, a detailed explanation of steps is required and all legitimate reports will be investigated.

Here’s the company’s policy -

“If you give us a reasonable time to respond to your report before making any information public and make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data and interruption or degradation of our service during your research, we will not bring any lawsuit against you or ask law enforcement to investigate you.”

In addition to that, the researcher who reports a bug first is only rewarded. For instance, if two researchers find the same bug individually, the first one who reports it will be eligible to claim the reward.

Facebook’s Bug Bounty Eligibility Rules

In order to be eligible for the reward, researchers must follow to Facebook’s Responsible Disclosure Policy.

Shelby Supercars has revealed the name of the car it hopes will become the fastest production car in the world: the SSC Tuatara.

The Tuatara is the second hypercar from the American manufacturer, and marks a revolutionary advancement over the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

The 792kW/1357Nm Ultimate Aero TT set the record for the fastest production car in September 2007. Its speed of 412km/h (256mph) eclipsed the previous record, which was held by the Bugatti Veyron.

The French manufacturer returned fire in June last year with the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which shattered the SSC at a blistering 431km/h (268mph).

Reports suggest Shelby Supercars is aiming to reach 275mph (443km/h) with the 993kW 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8-powered Tuatara.

Shelby Supercars is yet to announce when the Tuatara will hit the road, although some have suggested it could be planning a record-breaking run before the end of the year.

The Tuatara name is inspired by a reptile from New Zealand, which is a direct descendent of the dinosaurs. Translated directly from Maori it means ‘peaks on the back’ – fitting given the aerodynamic winglets at the rear.

The Tuatara also has the fastest evolving DNA in the world, a trait that SSC founder Jerod Shelby believes his company shares.

“Most manufacturers essentially use the same basic model and body shape for up to 10 years, while only making small refinements to it each year,” Mr Shelby said.

“After only three years in production with the Ultimate Aero, SSC’s Tuatara is about to monumentally evolve in the areas of sophistication, design, aerodynamics and shear all‐around performance. We felt that the fastest evolving DNA was a perfect definition of SSC’s latest project.”

Expect more details of the SSC Tuatara to be revealed in the coming months.

Until then, let us know what you think of the name and the design.

Good news if you’re a fan of the Texas League’s Arkansas Travelers, the Double-A affiliate of the Anaheim Angels. According to Minor League Baseball’s official “Promo Preview”, Little Rock’s minor league baseball team is back with its “triumvirate” of promos that bring “back-to-back-to-back onslaught of intrigue and hilarity.” The best of the bunch? Pre-Game midget wrestling, of course! In fact, this Friday, August 12, the team is hosting a “decidedly un-PC bout between Bobby Dean and Lil Kato” for World Midget Wrestling Heavyweight Championship belt (“custom designed for the petite waist!”). Check out a few pics from the The Travs’ 2006 pre-game midget wrestling match

She’s best known for her teen popstar days and sweet films such as “American Dreamz,” “A Walk To Remember,” and “The Princess Diaries.” She’s even voiced a Disney Princess, Rapunsel in “Tangled.”

Now, Mandy Moore is growing up on the big screen — by getting super raunchy.

The 27-year old singer/actress stars in the upcoming comedy, “Swinging With The Finkels,” as one half of a sexually stagnant couple looking for answers to their relationship drag. Her solution? She proposes to husband Martin Freeman (of UK “The Office” and “The Hobbit fame) that the two become swingers — or, a couple that has sex with another.

In this trailer for the flick — which has already come out in the UK — Moore shows her new side with an especially embarrassing vibrator scene that involves Jerry Stiller. Not that any vibrator scene with Jerry Stiller wouldn’t be embarrassing, but this one is especially cringe-inducing.

Kelly Rowland had a wardrode malfunction, nip slip or whatever you want to call it and exposed her nipple to a packed crowd at Club 4Sixty6 as she performed her song “Motivation” in West Orange, New Jersey.

As Kelly was surrounded by shirtless men, her bra rode up and exposed her nipple as she performed several dance moves.

She handled it in good spirits and after the show she tweeted, “New Jersey crowd was amazing!! hope you enjoyed the show and didnt mind the peekaboo LOL!!! #kanyeshrug #stuffhappens”

Let’s just be happy that Kelly’s peekaboo moment is something that we can just shrug off, because stuff does happen!

Blood Falls

भट्ठी से तप रहा शहर दोपहर को अचानक मीठी सी ठंडी लहर से झूमने लगा था।ऐसा लगा कि भगवान ने आसमान मे अपना एसी चालू कर दिया है।तभी दोपहर की चमकदार धूप पता नही क्यों शर्मा कर देहात की नई-नवेली दुल्हन की तरह अपने आप मे सिकुड़ने लगी और जनरल बोगी मे चिरौरी कर सीट के कोने मे बैठे बादल ने पसरना शुरू किया।थोड़ी ही देर मे आसमान पर उसका कब्जा था और मैं टाटा के शोरूम मे बैठा गाड़ी की ज़ल्दी डिलेवरी की दुआ करने लगा।मुझे आई(मां) के हाथ के बने प्याज के गर्मागर्म पकौड़े की याद सताने लगी थी।बरसात मे भीगने के बाद गरम पकौड़े खाने का मज़ा ही कुछ और होता है।

थोड़ी ही देर मे गाड़ी के मिलते ही लगा कि मौसम के साथ-साथ भगवान भी मेहरबान है।गाड़ी मे बैठ कर बाहर निकलते-निकलते बारिश की बूंदो ने गाड़ी की छत को म्यूज़िकल इंस्ट्रूमेंट बना कर नया तराना छेड़ दिया था।उस अलौकिक संगीत मे डूबा हुआ मै कब घर पहुंचा पता ही नही लगा।गाड़ी से उतर कर सीधे अंदर भागा।आई ने पूछा आज इस समय्।मैने कहा कुछ नही थोड़ी देर मे भजिये बना कर खिलाओगी क्या?उन्होने कहा अभी बना देती हूं।मैने कहा नही अभी मे छत पर जा रहा हूं।बड़ा हो गया है बच्चा नही है तू…… मैने उनकी बात सुनने की बजाय छत की ओर भागना ज्यादा मुनासिब समझा।आई की आवाज़ मेरा पीछा करते हुये आई और कान मे फ़ुसफ़ुसा के कहा कि पता नही कब सुधरेगा।

तब-तक़ बारिश की बूंदों ने भी धीरे-धीरे मतदान की तरह रफ़्तार पकड़ ली थी।अब उनका संगीत किसी विदेशी संगीत की तरह न समझ मे आने वाला होकर भी कानो मे मिश्री घोल रहा था।बूंदो के बोल समझ मे नही आ रहे थे मगर वे पैरो को थिरकने पर मज़बूर कर रहे थे।सर से लेकर पैर तक़ बारिश की बूंदों के रंग मे रंगने के बाद होश ही नही रहा कि समय कैसे बादलो की तरह उडता चला जा रहा है।बूंदे भी लगता है कि थक़ गई थी और उसकी रफ़्तार दम तोड़ने लगी थी।रह-रह कर गरजने और चमक्ने वाली बिज़ली भी खामोश होकर कही छुप कर बैठ गई थी।

नीचे से आई की आवाज़ ने बारिश के संगीत का जादू तोड़ा।अरे भजिये लाऊं क्या?मै आ रहा हूं आई, कह कर मै नीचे उतरा।कपड़े बदले और गर्मा गरम भजिये की प्लेट और टमाटर और हरी मिर्च-धनिये की चटनी लेकर उपर आया।बालकनी मे बैठ कर फ़िर से ज़ोर मारती बारिश की बूंदो की छमाछम सुनते हुये भजिये का स्वाद लेने लगा।वाह क्या बात है?दुनिया मे इससे अच्छा भजिया और कोई बना ही नही सकता होगा,ऐसा मैने सोचा और अलौकिक संगीत के साथ स्वाद के समंदर मे गोते खाने लगा।

अचानक़ बिजली रानी ने फ़िर से अपनी ताक़त दिखाना शुरू कर दिया और थोड़ी ही देर मे वो छतीसगढ के उत्पाती हाथियो की तरह आऊट आफ़ कंट्रोल होने लगी।उसकी उद्दंडता को देख बरखा रानी भला कंहा चुप रहने वाली थी।उसने भी अनुशासनहीनता मे कोई कमी नही की और अब गुलज़ार के गीतों सी मधुर बरखा रानी रामसे ब्रदर्स की फ़िल्म सी लगने लगी।रह-रह कर कड़कड़ाकर चमकने वाली बिजली ऐसा लग रहा था टार्च जलाकर देख रही हो कि है कोई जो उसका मुक़ाबला करने बाहर निकले।

अरे अंदर आ जा,नीचे से आई की आवाज़ ने ध्यान बंटाया।मैने कहा आ रहा हूं।इतने मे फ़िर बिजली चमकी और ऐसा लगा कि सामने थोड़ी दूर कंही गिरी है।अरे उस तरफ़ तो झोपड़पट्टी है।ओफ़ बुरा हाल होगा वंहा तो।अभी तो शुरूआत है। बारिश जब जवान होगी तब तो और कहर बरपायेगी।अचानक़ मै कई साल पीछे चला गया।याद आ गया मुझे बारिश के मौसम का हाल बयान करना।तालाबों का ओव्हर-फ़्लो होना,नालियो-नालो का फ़ूट जानां। निचली बस्तियों मे पानी भर जाना।रात-रात भर जाग कर गुज़ारना। दूसरे अख़बार मे छपी, नवजात शिशु को छाती से लिपटाये मां की तस्वीर देख कर संपादक का बड़बड़ाना। और, थोड़ा और,थोड़ा और ह्यूमन स्टोरी लिखने के लिये कहना।रात भर टपकती छतों के पानी को गिनती के बरतनों मे जमा करके ऊलीचना। भूख से बिलखते बच्चो को, परेशान होकर चुप कराने की बजाये पीटना।झडी यानी लगातार होने वाली बारिश मे दूसरे और तीसरे दिन भी चुल्हा नही जला सकने की हताशा।रोज कमा कर खाने वालो के चेहरो पर गहराती निराशा।

ओफ़ मै ये क्या सोचने लगा। मैने सिर को ज़ोरदार झटका दिया और उन खयालो को बाहर निकाल फ़ेकने की भरपूर कोशिश की।पर वो खयाल तो न चाहते हुये भी युपीए की सरकार की तरह रिपीट होने लगे।भूख से बिलखते बच्चे।गीले कपडो मे तरबतर घरों मे भरे पानी को बाहर फ़ेंकते लोग्।बिमारियो का संक्रमण रोकने के लिये मुंह पर मास्क पहने दवा बांटती मेडिकल टीम्।फ़ोटोग्राफ़र और विडीयोग्राफ़रो की टीम के साथ प्रभावित ईलाको का दौरा करते जन?प्रतिनिधि। अख़बारो मे गरीबी को छापने की होड़।मै परेशान हो गया ये क्या हो गया है मुझे।मै तो सारे काम-धाम ड्राप करके मौसम का मज़ा लेने घर आया था।तभी नीचे से आई ने आवाज़ दी, भजिया और दूं क्या बेटा?नही आई,पता नही, ये नही, मेरे मुंह से कैसे निकला।मुझे याद आया। एक ऐसी ही तूफ़ानी बारिश की अपनी रिपोर्ट का शीर्षक्।'ये किसने दुआ की थी बारिशों की'।मैने कुर्सी से उठते हुये प्लेट मे बचे भजिये के आखिरी टुकड़े को मुंह मे ड़ाला।पता नही क्यों आज आई के हाथ के भजिये मे वो स्वाद में वो मज़ा नही आया.

The tendency to desire what is best for the other

Honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one’s counterpart

Mutual understanding and compassion

Trust in one another (able to express feelings – including in relation to the other’s actions – without the fear of being judged); able to go to each other for emotional support

Positive reciprocity – a relationship is based on equal give and take between the two parties.

A little less try,

A little more laugh,

And a little less cry,

A little more WE and a little less I.

If friendship is live – keep smiling

If CARE is a WAVE,

South actress Kajal Agarwal, is all set to make her debut in Bollywood alongside actor Ajay Devgn this Friday, with ‘Singham’. The beautiful actress isn’t really insecure about Ajay Devgn grabbing the entire limelight, instead, she says she had a blast working with the actor.

Kajal says, “Its not the amount of screen space that I have but it is the quality of work that I deliver. Yes, its an Ajay Devgn film but I will stand out with my performance. I am sure after watching the film people won’t stop loving me.”

The actress adds, “Its better for me to act with Ajay as acting is second nature to him. We have rehearsed together and he is very co-operative. He does not need rehearsals he gave me very important tips.”o

Kevin Pietersen was not out on 202 when England declared.The consensus seems to be that Pietersen probably should have been given out when he tucked the ball down to Rahul Dravid, but we care more about what happened after that. He wasn’t given out and India had another 196 opportunities to dismiss him, but didn’t.

On Sky, they called Matt Prior the catalyst, which may well be true, but it’s worth keeping things in perspective. Kevin Pietersen scored three times as many runs as Prior.

As for England’s declaration, 474 really doesn’t seem like that many runs to us. We’d have been tempted to try and inflict some more wear and tear on the immense Praveen Kumar being as we’re at the start of an overly rapid four-Test series, but maybe we’re going too far with the long range planning with that. After all, the guy who wins the Tour de France will have done so by picking the right times to attack.

Apple may be releasing OS X 10.7.1 to the public in a matter of days, with developer signaling that version 10.7.2 is already being made available for download through the iCloud for Lion beta section.

People in a position to know are signaling that a combo Lion update labeled Build 11C26 is now available for download.

Unlike all previous OS X seeds, Mac OS X 10.7.2 is being distributed through the iCloud for Lion beta channel.

It’s a combo update required to test Apple’s suite of web services set to make a public debut this fall.

“You must install OS X Lion 10.7.2 in order to use iCloud for OS X Lion beta 5,” Apple tells those enrolled with its $99-a-year developer program.



“This pre-release version of OS X Lion is being provided solely for testing iCloud. (Mac Developer Program membership is required),” reads Apple’s note to developers.

Also offered through the same channel is iCloud the iCloud Add-on installer for OS X Lion which installs iCloud Beta 5.

Earlier this week, Apple rolled out iOS 5 Beta 4, a new test build of the company’s mobile operating system for developers to play around with.

Just like iCloud, iOS 5 will be available publicly this fall.

Both OS X Lion and iOS 5 are tightly integrated with iCloud, “a breakthrough set of free new cloud services that work seamlessly with applications on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content in iCloud and automatically and wirelessly push it to all your devices,” as Apple itself puts it.

iCloud will replace services like Dropbox on many users’ computers as it wirelessly syncs pretty much every type of file on all of a user’s devices almost instantly whenever anything changes on one of them.

Diego Forlan scored twice and Uruguay won the Copa America for a record 15th time after beating Paraguay 3-0 Sunday.

Luis Suarez also scored for Uruguay, which followed up a semifinal appearance at the 2010 World Cup by winning South America’s championship for the first time since 1995.

“We played as a group,” said Suarez, who was selected as the best player of the tournament. “I think when groups are united like this, everyone together and going for the same thing, you can get things done.”

At roughly 3.5 million people – about the population of Connecticut – Paraguay has the lowest population of teams in the tournament.

Argentina and Brazil were upset in the quarterfinals of the Copa. Uruguay ousted Argentina on penalties and Paraguay eliminated Brazil, also in a shootout.

Argentina has won the title 14 times, Brazil eight. Brazil had won four of the past five titles.Uruguay was the clear favorite going into the final, wrapping up a tournament filled with surprises.

Not only had Brazil and Argentina been sent home early, but Venezuela reached the third-place match on Saturday before losing 4-1 to Peru. Those two countries have been the weakest in the region in recent years, but they suddenly look formidable going into regional World Cup qualifying later this year.

Uruguay’s squad featured 20 of the 23 players it took to the World Cup a year ago, showing teamwork and unselfish play with none of the vast star power of Argentina or Brazil.

“The important thing was getting started well,” said Suarez, who had four goals – one fewer than Peru’s Paolo Guerrero. “With two goals in the first half, I think it was very difficult for them to come back.”

Suarez gave Uruguay the lead in a match it dominated in the opening minutes. Receiving a pass in the area, the Liverpool forward beat defender Dario Veron to score from a deflected left-footed shot that went in off the far post behind goalkeeper Justo Villar.

Uruguay could have even have led in the second minute, when Villar stopped Diego Lugano’s point-blank header.

Forlan, who was voted the best player at last year’s World Cup, made it 2-0 by lashing a left-footed shot from 12 yards that left Villar flat-footed. He was set up after teammate Egidio Arevalo Rios had stolen the ball from a Paraguay player near midfield.

Uruguay won fairly and played better,” Paraguay defender Paulo Da Silva said. “Uruguay is a beautiful champion.”
