James Franco takes the role of Galaxy Note 10.1 spokesman
Cast as a man of many talents, the actor works to persuade potential customers that Samsung's new device also comes with varied features and capabilities.
It seems to make sense that actor, director, short story writer, and Ph.D. candidate for Yale's English program James Franco would be the new spokesman for Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1. The company is aiming to show that while Franco is a man of many talents, the device can also accomplish many tasks at once.
In a new TV ad for the device, which Franco claims to have directed himself, the actor is seen walking around his house using his Note to look up information with the touch pad, write down messages with the S pen stylus, and check out other features of the device. All the while, he touts his many skills.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 was launched earlier this month as a potential competitor to Apple's iPad. The device comes with a 10.1-inch screen, 1.4GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The device also comes with Samsung's S Pen stylus, allowing users to "write" all over the screen.

Reblogged from skeptv 7 notes Posted 11, March, 2012 skepttv: Tyrannosaurus rex bite force animated In a new study published in UK journal Biology Letters, researchers at Liverpool University predict that a Tyrannosaurus rex's bite is much stronger than previously thought. Researchers used laser scanners to digitize T. rex jaws and used computer models to reconstruct the jaw muscles of the T. rex and estimate its bite force. The study predicts T. rex had a bite force of 20,000 to 57,000 Newtons, equivalent to the force of a medium-sized elephant sitting down. #science #biology #Physiology #physics #animals #zoology #paleontology

The following is an excerpt from the new Men's Health book, The Athlete's Book of Home Remedies. In it, you'll find hundreds of doctor-approved health fixes and injury-prevention tips. Click here to pick up a copy today!
Foam-Roll Exercises
Foam rolling is in many ways like a deep massage—but you give it to yourself. By rolling the hard foam over your thighs, calves, and back, you'll loosen tough connective tissue (like the fascia, which stretches over many of your muscles and can tighten up) and decrease the stiffness of your muscles. The result? Better flexibility and mobility, and muscles that can function properly. I recommend foam rolling before any workout, but in reality, you can do it anytime. The easiest time is to pull out the foam roller while you're watching TV.
If you've never foam-rolled before, be prepared. It's uncomfortable and
can even be painful when you start. Don't worry—the more painful it is, the more that muscle needs foam rolling. The good news is that the more you do it, the less discomfort you'll feel. For each muscle that you work, slowly move the roller back and forth over it for 30 seconds.
If you hit a really tender spot, pause on it for 5 to 10 seconds. Definitely focus on the muscles that need rolling the most. You'll know which ones they are just by trying it. You'll find 36-inch foam rollers at most sports or fitness shops, but in a pinch you can also use a basketball, tennis ball, or even a length of PVC pipe.
Place a foam roller under your right knee, with your leg straight. Cross your left leg over your right ankle. Put your hands flat on the floor for support. Keep your back naturally arched.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches your glutes. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left knee. NOTE: If rolling one leg is too difficult, perform the movement with both legs on the roller.
Sit on a foam roller with it positioned on the back of your right thigh, just below your glutes. Cross your right leg over the front of your left thigh. Put your hands flat on the floor for support.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches your lower back. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left glute.
Lie on your right side and place your right hip on a foam roller. Put your hands on the floor for support. Cross your left leg over your right and place your left foot flat on the floor.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches your knee. Then roll back and forth. Lie on your left side and repeat with the roller under your left hip. If this becomes too easy over time, place your right leg on top of your left instead of bracing it on the floor).
Important Note: Your iliotibial band— commonly called the IT band—is a tough strip of connective tissue that runs down the side of your thigh, starting on your hip bone and connecting just below your knee. When you start foam rolling, you'll probably find that this tissue is one of the most sensitive areas that you can roll over, perhaps due to the high tension of the band. Remember, pain means you need to roll it. Make this a priority, because over time, if your IT band is too tight, it could cause knee pain.
Place a foam roller under your right ankle, with your right leg straight. Cross your left leg over your right ankle. Put your hands flat on the floor for support and keep your back naturally arched.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches the back of your right knee. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left calf. (If this is too hard, perform the movement with both legs on the roller.)
Lie facedown on the floor with a foam roller positioned above your right knee. Cross your left leg over your right ankle and place your elbows on the floor for support.
Roll your body backward until the roller reaches the top of your right thigh. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left thigh. (If that's too hard, perform the movement with both thighs on the roller, as shown.)
Lie facedown on the floor. Place a foam roller parallel to your body. Put your elbows on the floor for support. Position your right thigh nearly perpendicular to your body, with the inner portion of your thigh, just above the level of your knee, resting on top of the roller.
Roll your body toward the right until the roller reaches your pelvis. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left thigh.
Lie faceup with a foam roller under your upper back, at the tops of your shoulder blades. Cross your arms over your chest. Your knees should be bent with your feet flat on the floor.
Raise your hips so they're slightly elevated off the floor. Roll back and forth over your shoulder blades and your mid- and upper back.

Exquisite in their elegance, this is a must-have modern classic accessory. The sheen of the rhodium-plated outer ring offsets the glitter of the inner circle that sports clear crystals set in the classic pavé style. A hint of shine is always appreciated! The earrings come as a pair.

Additional Info History Campus Location Traditions Alums Sports Facts Dorms Liberal educators spent almost a decade thinking up Bennington before the college opened its doors to an all-female class of eighty-seven in 1932. From the beginning, it aimed to be different: unlike any other school at the time, it offered a Visual Arts major, and it encouraged its students to be active, engaged participants in their own educations to an almost unprecedented degree. The Field Work Term (FWT), Bennington's version of a co-op program, dates back to this era as well. Starting in 1935, men were allowed admission to the theater program and, in 1969, after a serious expansion, the school went co-ed. In the 1990s, President Elizabeth Coleman implemented controversial changes on behalf of the Board of Trustees that included eliminating tenure for professors, after which numerous faculty members were let go. The 550-acre campus was formed out of donated farmland and rural touches are visible everywhere on this pastoral campus. The main building was a barn -- and is still called the Barn -- and students refer to the rolling lawn in front of the Commons building as the End of the World. Bennington is a town of about 16,000 in the Southeastern corner of Vermont, near the border with New York and Massachusetts. Albany, the nearest city, is about an hour away by car. The Green Mountains are nearby, as are lots of picturesque New England villages, but the school can feel pretty remote, especially to those students who don't have cars. Pigfest: an annual springtime party featuring live bands and a pig roast Sunfest: day-long music festival in May Snowball: a winter formal Bowl-a-rama: bowling in Bennington Roll-a-rama: roller-skating in Greenwall Auditorium Bacchanal: one of the annual parties hosted by the houses 24-Hour Play: plays are written and performed in the span of one day Alan Arkin '55, actor ("Little Miss Sunshine") Donna Tartt '86, novelist ("The Little Friend") Andrea Dworkin '68, activist Kiran Desai, novelist ("The Inheritance of Loss") Bret Easton Ellis, author ("Rules of Attraction") Justin Theroux, actor ("John Adams," HBO) Michael Pollan '77, writer ("In Defense of Food") Tim Daly, actor Jonathan Lethem, novelist ("Fortress of Solitude"), attended but did not graduate Melissa Rosenberg '86, filmmaker ("Twilight") Bennington has no varsity sports teams. Athletes can play intramural sports like dodgeball and soccer and can venture, either on their own steam or via the Outing Club, to the nearby Green Mountains for hiking, biking, skiing, and white-water rafting. When Martha Graham was a faculty member there, she helped create what's now known as Modern Dance. Alum Bret Easton Ellis's book "the Rules of Attraction" is set at a fictionalized version of the college called Camden. Alum Donna Tartt also set her famous first novel, "The Secret History," at a small private Vermont college, but not one that seems to be based on Bennington. Buckminster Fuller built one of his first geodesic domes on the campus. Bennington was the first college to offer a major in the Visual Arts. Students are guaranteed a place all four years in one of the college's co-ed houses. There are no triples, suites, or on-campus apartments; 60% of the available rooms are singles and the rest are doubles. Only 1% of the undergrad population opts out of this system. The colleges were built in varying styles, ranging from Colonial to hyper-modern and, appropriately, are supposed to have different personalities. They are each responsible for hosting certain traditional annual parties.

A measure that would provide billions of dollars for health care for September 11th first responders passed a key hurdle in Congress yesterday.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday passed the September 11th Health and Compensation Act.
The legislation now heads to the full House for a vote.
Lawmakers hope to have a final version on President Barack Obama's desk soon.
The bill is named after James Zadroga, a police officer who spent hundreds of hours at the World Trade Center site and later died of respiratory illness.

Hey there, my name's Hazel Tucker and I'm a transsexual adult film actress and model! (For those of you who don't know me): I set out from my little hometown in Massachusetts a few years back, and headed to Hollywood to become a transsexual porn star. I was a little "innocent" 19 year-old girl then. Now I am 23, and naughtier and hornier than I have ever been before! My first appearance on an adult site was for Shemale Yum, one of the hottest all-t-girl adult websites, as their "4th of July Girl" in the summer of 2008. I have since appeared on many other websites and in several DVD productions. Some of my biggest achievements in the world of porn have been taking home New Face of 2008 at The Annual Tranny Awards and also making a clean sweep in 2009 for Best DVD Model and Best Website Model.
I shot my first DVD with transsexual porn auteur, Buddy Wood that first year out in sunny California. We called it Hazel Does Hollywood and it's one of my best works to date! So what do I do when I'm not fingering and fucking and sucking? Well, you can catch me hanging out posting on my blog, or out doing things a bad girl in her early twenties does. I hope you like all of the hot content available to you here and I'd love to hear your suggestions! Here you will find that I am a bit kinkier then when I started out as The All- American Shemale Next Door. I'm the slut that likes Ass-2-Mouth, being spanked and tied up(S&M), girls, boys, and lots of different toys. Please check out the tour, I've put a lot of work into Hazel-Tucker.com and I hope you enjoy it as much as I love doing what I do for all of you! Cum on in… I'm hard and waiting.
23rd July 2013
Hazel Tucker is looking pretty in pink in today's solo scene! She's playful and flirty, eager to suck some cock today.
11th June 2013
Hazel Tucker isn't quite sure if it's still winter or spring time yet, that's why she's wearing her favorite beanie. But don't worry, she strips down for us! Another great scene from Shemale Yum.
"The perfect girl... I'd get fired from work if she was with me! I'd just stay home in bed with her and eat that gorgeous ass every friggin day!" - 1trnylvr2
"God she has such a hot, sweet lickable little ass. I wonder how long I could lick it before she begged me to stop?" - slutsharon
"Absolutely beautiful! If I ever win the lottery I'm cumming over to get her - gorgeous cock and so glad shes a bottom!" - making153
"Nice to see her in a hot tub at night showing off that gorgous body of hers! nice littlle puffy nips and small pretty dick! Every bit of her is hot! More please!" - jonny
"Without question, Hazel has the pinkest bubblebutt on a shemale or a girl! I could bury myself in it for hours!" - GSmith
"Hazel you are the most beautiful, cute and sexy shemale I've ever seen! In fact you are more beautiful than any real girl too!" - matty7853

"I ordered by phone and delivery was very quick. I would have preferred to order online but the site does not show clearly how to order a specific colour, or, in my case, equal number of packs in red and blue. For bridge players two packs are used and these should be in contrasting colours. However, for price and service I couldn't do better."
Kenneth Whittaker, Sat 20th March '10
"Ordered at 11.34am on a Friday, delivered at 8.13am on Saturday morning. About as quick a delivery as I have ever received from an online service and that was with standard delivery. The mind boggles to think what the express delivery is.... Time travel?!"
James Austin, Thu 18th March '10

Thank you for a job well done."

Norman Axon, Sat 27th February '10
"I've found drinking from the boot to be a fulfilling and pleasurable drinking experience and have become up to 14% drunker 25% faster than drinking from a normal pint glass. On a more negative note, I have found that as the night progresses I seem adopt a German twang to my accent."
Rich Stevenson, Sat 27th February '10

Anne Pays, Thu 25th February '10
"Excellent service, thank you very much."
Janet Gunning, Wed 24th February '10
"Loved the product and was impressed by the speediness of your customer service team. However, I would have been more impressed if my order had arrived the first time (in time for the occasion I ordered it for, rather than nearly a month late)!! I am glad it arrived the second time, but the Royal Mail first class post is going to lose you customers and cost you money. Please evaluate this across your business and decide whether it might be worth you altering your standard delivery method. I would think twice before ordering from you again - particularly if I was in a hurry!! Thank god your Customer Service department is quick, polite and helpful!"
drinkstuff says: Thank you for your comments Allison. We're sorry that you had such trouble with your order. Royal Mail is a very reliable service which is used by most companies for standard delivery. The majority of orders will be delivered in 2-3 days but unfortunately some parcels can take longer. Royal Mail state that we should wait 14 days before a parcel can be deemed as lost in the post and a resend issued. If you require your goods in a hurry, we have a next day courier service for very little extra cost. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Goods not being delivered within 2-3 days is very rare.
Allison Hulbert, Wed 24th February '10
"Most impressed, I received my order as described in good quality and with speedy delivery. I will definitely buy from drinkstuff again."
Tommy McAdam, Wed 24th February '10

Peter Wilson, Sun 21st February '10
"Table is excellent - sturdy, good quality and really looks the part. Great value for money. Only issue was the delivery - had two table delivered damaged but Drinkstuff were very prompt and efficient with replacements. Box is large and heavy so damage in transit is to be expected. I judge customer service on how a company puts things right rather than if something goes wrong as these things happen. This is my second large value purchase from Drinkstuff and they have come up trumps again!"
Peter Buckett, Sun 21st February '10
"Product quality, great service and cost are the basic things that ensure I will be a returning customer (already used them 3 - 4 times). Thank you."

Robert Chadwick, Thu 18th February '10
"Many thanks for such fast and well packed delivery. I was delighted with the shot glasses and have used them already. They are even suitable for children to drink non alcoholic beverages from (my 6 year old granddaughter loves to have a couple of her favourite juices from them), being well made and plastic. Very pleased customer!"

LEXINGTON, MA, December 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Patent Provides Composition of Matter Protection for a Series of Highly Selective Delta Opioid Receptor Agonists
Biousian Biosystems Inc, (BBI) a biotechnology company that designs and develops drugs with unique selectivity and potency for GPCR targets, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent to BBI (U.S. Patent 8,575,309). The patent describes a series of highly selective and potent delta opioid receptor agonists for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. One of the molecules covered by the patent is BBI-11008, the company's lead drug that is positioned as a best-in-class analgesic.
BBI-11008 is an orally available drug that has equivalent efficacy to opioids but exhibits markedly reduced side effects in preclinical models. Due to the unique delta opioid selectivity of BBI-11008, it lacks the toxicities usually associated with mu selective opioid agonists (e.g. morphine), including respiratory distress, GI tract immobility and has no evidence of addiction. The molecule's performance has been studied in extensive in-vivo preclinical pain studies, funded by multiple NIH SBIR grants.
Ed Bilsky, Founder of Biousian Biosystems and Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the University of New England, said, "Delta opioid receptors were first described in the 1970s, but multiple efforts to develop a highly selective agonist with drug-like properties have failed. Our novel synthetic chemistry applied to naturally occurring enkephalin opioid peptides enable us to impart small-molecule, drug-like properties to peptides. The lead molecule has therapeutic utility across a broad range of pain indications, including neuropathic pain, inflammatory pain, cancer pain and migraine".
Robin Polt, Founder of Biousian Biosystems and Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and BIO5 at the University of Arizona said, "We are very excited about the prospects for glycopeptide drugs that increase drug stability and increase penetration across the blood-brain barrier and into the central nervous system. Biologically compatible glycosides such as BBI-11008 are metabolized into simple amino acids and sugars that are more properly regarded as nutrients, in contrast to classical opioid alkaloids that produce a cascade of toxic metabolites".
Mark Philip, acting President of Biousian Biosystems said "We are delighted to have made such rapid progress and achieved proof of principle for both efficacy and safety for BBI-11008 in a range of preclinical models. This, together with the recently-issued patent protection for this series of molecules, encourages us to accelerate the work towards moving the lead candidate into the clinic."
Biousian is actively exploring both corporate partnerships and/or equity investment to progress this molecule into clinical trials. The company's business development is being supported by Alacrita Consulting.

Broadway's "Soul Doctor" has been called "a fascinating story with beautiful music" by The New York Times. Save more than 40% on tickets to the show about the life of Shlomo Carlebach, the father of popular Jewish music who became known as "the rockstar rabbi" in the 1960s.
Seats at Circle in the Square Theatre in Orchestra Far Sides Rows D-G are regularly priced at $39. In additional, all other Orchestra seats are now $77 (reg. $135) through Oct. 13.
After his escape from Nazi Germany, Carlebach (played by Eric Anderson) befriended legendary jazz singer Nina Simone, who introduced him to soul and gospel music. He created a new sound with melodies that fused his roots with American popular music.

THURSDAY, April 12 (HealthDay News) -- A new report says there is little evidence that over-the-counter insect bite remedies actually work.
In addition, most reactions to insect bites are mild and don't require any treatment, according to the evidence review in the April issue of the British journal Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin.
When insects such as mosquitoes bite a person, the saliva they inject can cause a reaction. In a few cases, this can lead to infection, an eczema flare-up or even anaphylactic shock.
But most insect bites cause only a mild reaction involving itching, pain and swelling, as well as secondary problems caused by scratching the bite. Many over-the-counter products are used to treat these issues.
Antihistamines are widely recommended to ease insect-bite-related itching, but there's no proof that this is effective. That's also the case for steroid creams and tablets to treat itching and inflammation caused by insect bites.
Creams that contain painkillers, anesthetics, antihistamines or antiseptics are "only marginally effective and occasionally cause sensitization," according to the review.
There is some evidence to suggest that diluted ammonium solution may help relieve itching or burning, but there is little evidence that antiseptics or astringents are effective, the reviewers said.
"There is little evidence for the efficacy of treatments for simple insect bites," the reviewers said. "The symptoms are often self-limiting and, in many cases, no treatment may be needed."

Provides additional versatility and functionality to Audio-Technica modular microphone systems.
The Audio-Technica AT4049B-EL Omnidirectional Head Capsule is a modular component of the Audio-Technica AT4049B, AT4051B, and AT4053b Condenser Microphone systems. The AT4049b-EL is one of several capsules designed to work with the Audio-Technica AT4900b-48 Microphone body. It is recommended for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast. The 4049b-EL has fast response to transients and contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most difficult-to-capture instruments.
Omni capsules don't suffer from proximity effect or off-axis coloration. Use omni mics when you want a more realistic sound of instruments recorded in a live space. Since omnis do pick up more of the room than other patterns, it's important to record in a good-sounding acoustic space. Omni's are also used for recording electric guitars when you want to capture the true sound of the instrument without hyped low-mids, and some room tone as well. However, the greatest advantage of omni mics in general and the AT4049B in particular, is the open and extended bass response and lack of phase-cancellation problems that can occur with directional mics.
A cost-effective way to add omni recording to your bag of studio tricks.

Prince Harry was moved to a guarded location during a recent Taliban attack on Camp Bastion, the Defence Secretary has said.
Philip Hammond had earlier told the Commons that Captain Wales - as Harry is known to the Army - was never in danger although he was present during the assault on Bastion last Friday.
He later explained that the 28-year-old is being protected by "additional security arrangements" as he carries out his second tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Speaking on BBC 2's Newsnight, he said: "Clearly there are fall-back plans and I can't go into the detail of them - but once we knew on Friday night that the perimeter at Bastion had been breached he would have been moved to a secure position under effective guard."
Asked by presenter Jeremy Paxman if that meant Prince Harry was not treated the same as every other soldier, the Defence Secretary said: "You asked me whether he was at any greater risk. And I've told you that in combat he's at the same risk as any other Apache pilot.
"Clearly if we had a VIP in theatre and frankly if I was there or, Jeremy, if you were there in Camp Bastion and there was a breach of the perimeter security, anybody who might, by nature of who they are, be a target, they would be put in a secure location."
He added: "He is serving there as an ordinary officer but clearly there are additional security arrangements in place that recognise that he could be a target himself specifically as a result of who he is."
Two US Marines were killed and six planes destroyed during the attack on the desert base in Helmand province, where the bulk of the UK's 9,500-strong force in Afghanistan are deployed.
Taliban sources claimed Bastion was targeted because Prince Harry is serving there as an Apache attack helicopter gunner. The Prince was about two kilometres away with other Apache crew members during the assault on the base, which is the same size as Reading.
Mr Hammond's comments came following a bloody spell for Nato forces in the troubled country, which saw two British soldiers killed at the weekend by an attacker dressed as an Afghan policeman and feigning injury. Married father-of-two Sergeant Gareth Thursby, 29, and Private Thomas Wroe, 18, were shot dead in the south of Nahr-e Saraj district, Helmand province, on Saturday, in what appears to be the latest in a string of "green-on-blue" incidents.

How to improve on a '53 blackguard Tele? Answer: Make it more reliable in terms of tuning, take the gloss off the neck and sweeten rather than change the tone of Leo's magic, single-coil Telecaster pickups.
Lighten the whole deal by making it semi-hollow bodied and give each string a pukka bent-steel saddle and you have, in this writer's opinion, perhaps the only - certainly the most effective - real improvement on the timeless design of the Tele.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, says the old adage. For that very reason serious guitar players too numerous and talented to name have sought out "original" Teles i.e. anything up to either 1959 (when rosewood fretboards were first specified on Fenders) and/or 1965 (the point at which Fender became CBS property) since 1949 and the advent of the world's first production electric Spanish guitar.
Anything else has always been a compromise - until now. Having owned (at a guesstimate) more than 50 different Telecasters in my 49 years as a player, I can only say the Fender Select Thinline has become my guitar of choice because it has all but all the key features of a good Tele rolled into one very pretty and lightweight package.
It may look like a show pony but I was gigging with it within 24 hours of taking delivery and it had both bandmates and members of the audience asking: "What is that beautiful -sounding instrument?"
I know this review is anecdotal. It is deliberately so because you can get the tech specs at Fender's website. All I have to add is that this baby does exactly what it says on the tin - better than any "standard" Tele or Custom Shop Nocaster I have owned.
That's all she wrote folks. Go figure.

This neat little item is for the person that has everything. While it's not exactly high tech, it serves it's purpose well if you ever want to create a layout when you're away from the real thing. The only drawback is the miniature balls are easily lost, but you get a backup set just in case. Though I haven't found any great use for it yet, it reminds me how much I like pool every time I go to the fridge.
