New free app brings Samsung?s ?Smart Pause? functionality to iPhone
"I like small penises," said no women interviewed for an actually scientific study released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS. Yes, PNAS is a funny sounding acronym, and, yes, PNAS has found that size does matter ? and that women prefer "showers" to "growers."

University of Miami athletes depend on former Staten Islander Vinny Scavo
The first one to notice was Tammy Scavo.
It was the night before the University of Miami?s Sept. 22 football game at Georgia Tech, and the Hurricanes? head athletic trainer, Vinny Scavo, and his wife of 22 years were sitting in the hotel lobby as a film camera lurked nearby.
?She says, ?What?s that camera doing following you??? the former New Dorp HS pitcher said. ?I said, ?I don?t know.? So I asked around.?
It turned out the camera, at the direction of filmmaker Madison Murr of 3Pennyfilms, was recording Scavo for its next installment of ?Raising Canes,? an internet series shown on Youtube.com and Hurricanes.com which has become a vital part of the Hurricanes? recruiting program. This particular episode dealt with the return of junior defensive end Shayon Green from an ACL injury.
As an instrumental part of Green?s rehab as Miami?s director of athletic training, Scavo was tabbed to make his computer-screen debut after 30 years of taping, flexing and fixing athletes in various organizations. Green had given Murr the go-ahead to film Scavo applying the layers of Hurricane-colored green and orange athletic tape from mid-shin through thigh in the otherwise private confines of the training room.
Scavo, whose sister Maryanne still lives in their childhood home in Grant City, was called on to offer his version of the Green?s rehab and recovery, sanitized of course.
?I said, ?This is beautiful,?? the 52-year-old said. ?I had no idea that was going to happen. I usually drop a few F-bombs in there, but I didn?t do that, or my wife and sister would have yelled at me.
?But it wasn?t uncomfortable. I just went about my business. I didn?t think about it. We usually don?t allow press in there to protect the privacy of our players, but Shayon agreed to do it.? ?
LOTS OF ENTHUSIASM? ?
Scavo?s enthusiasm for his job and his school show through loud and clear on film.
?He was a good sport,? Murr said. ?The trust factor was there. We wanted to get his own story. He said, ?Whatever you need.? He was a great interview. He?s been there so long and is very passionate about the program, so that was a great positive.?
It wasn?t as if Scavo carved out a section of schedule for some face-time. He doesn?t have many leisurely minutes in Coral Gables. Since becoming director of the school?s entire athletic training program last year after head football coach Al Golden hired him to be the his team?s head trainer in 2010, Scavo has overseen the treatment and rehabilitation of the university?s 400 athletes.
As if that hasn?t kept him busy enough, he also tends to U of M alumni who live in the area such as the Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed and New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, and one former local baseball player of note.
The one who name adorns the school?s baseball stadium.
?We?ve had Alex Rodriguez in here,? Scavo said. ?Our doctor (Dr. Lee Kaplan) operated on him and we?ve had him in. He?s talked to me about different ideas he?s had for his rehab. I have no idea whether he used them or not, but he worked very hard in our strength rooms down the hall.
?He was very nice, very pleasant. To me, he?s just A-Rod, and he needs rehab.?
Scavo has provided those services to every level of athlete since he graduated New Dorp in 1977 after four years playing baseball, his true love, and one playing football. After a semester at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, he ventured south to pitch at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Fla. There, he became interested in athletic training.
w
A meeting with future Yankees manager Dick Howser led to temporary stops at Florida State, where Howser was the baseball coach, and the minor league Oneonta Yankees once Howser accepted the Yankees job. Then it was back to college and ?The U,? for stints as assistant football trainer under national championship winners Howard Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson.
Upon marrying Tammy in 1991, he took a job at Coral Gables HS that paid more money.
?Believe it or not, I couldn?t afford to be a college trainer,? he said.
The downward step proved no impediment to his being named to the Olympic Trials staff. After that, he directed the minor league training operations for the upstart Florida Marlins from 1992-96. Then it was back to high school until, in 2006, Dr. Kaplan asked him to direct the sports medicine clinic he set up at the University of Miami Hospital. ?
EYE FOR TALENT? ?
He moved on-campus in 2011 when Golden pushed through the construction of a facility dedicated solely to strength, conditioning, and athletic training.
Despite his nearly year-round residence in Florida, Scavo said he remains a Staten Islander at heart. What little vacation time he gets is spent up here, visiting family and old friends and teammates. He bled, right along with his Island brethren, when Superstorm Sandy struck.
?I have (FOX) Five on my satellite and I watch it every night,? Scavo said. ?I told my sister what was happening before she even knew it.?
He also reads The Advance every day to keep up on hometown news. That?s where he learned about Augustus Edwards, Tottenville?s 6-foot-1, 230-pound running back with 4.5 speed. Golden?s staff hadn?t even looked at Edwards until Scavo brought his name up.
A discussion with the school?s recruiting coordinator led to a visit not long ago.
?I met him coming out of the hotel, and he had a Yankees hat on,? Scavo said. ?I said, ?Good move. Good move.??
Edwards committed to the Hurricanes in early February.
If Scavo has his way, Edwards won?t be the last recruit from his old borough.
?We need more Staten Island kids down here,? he said. ?

Boston Dynamics' Petman robot successfully wears clothes (video)
Boston Dynamics has been releasing video after video of its Petman humanoid robot performing a variety of tests, but something has always been missing: clothes. No longer. The company has today released a new video that demonstrates the robot can not only wear clothes, but make you never look at a hazmat suit the same way again. As the company notes, the testing isn't just for Petman -- thanks to some DoD funding, it's using the robot to test suits like this in hazardous conditions, with an array of sensors on the robot itself able to detect chemicals leaking through the suit. Sit down, and head on past the break to see the video for yourself.

Roger Waters, Israel: Jewish Group Pressure Organizers to Cancel His NYC Appearance

According to Jewish Daily Forward, "An Evening With Roger Waters" was slated for the Theresa L. Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York City for April 30. The interview, which was to look at the musician's career and current projects, was then reportedly rescheduled to June 19 but now is not happening at all.
"It's absolutely outrageous that Jewish community funds are going to help Roger Waters spread his anti-Semitic message," Richard Allen of JCC Watch said in a statement found on the organization's site. Allen also added Jewish donors to the JCC were essentially "helping to provide Waters with a facility, marketing, and respectability, so he can win over more people with his anti-Israel lies."
The ticket link to the event says, "This event has been cancelled. We will be issuing refunds to all ticket-holders."
As previously reported Waters has been quite vocal in his stance imploring musicians to boycott Israel, comparing it to the "apartheid regime" in South Africa.
"They are running riot and it seems unlikely that running over there and playing the violin will have any lasting effect," Waters said, adding he encouraged Stevie Wonder to nix a gala dinner performance last December for the Israeli Defense Forces.
Tickets for the event, which started at $75, will be refunded by organizers. Waters will launch yet another leg of The Wall world tour in Europe starting July 18 in the Netherlands. The trek is slated to conclude in Paris on Sept. 21.

Daily stress takes a toll on long-term mental health, UCI-led study finds
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
Our emotional responses to the stresses of daily life may predict our long-term mental health, according to a new study led by a UC Irvine psychologist. The research, which appears online in the journal Psychological Science, suggests that maintaining emotional balance is crucial to avoiding severe mental health problems down the road.
Susan Charles, UC Irvine professor of psychology & social behavior, and her colleagues conducted the study in order to answer a long-standing question: Do everyday irritations add up to make the straw that breaks the camel's back, or do they make us stronger and "inoculate" us against later tribulations?
Using data from two national, longitudinal surveys, the researchers found that participants' negative emotional responses to daily stressors ? such as arguments with a spouse or partner, conflicts at work, standing in long lines or sitting in traffic ? predicted psychological distress and self-reported anxiety/mood disorders 10 years later.
"How we manage daily emotions matters to our overall mental health," Charles said. "We're so focused on long-term goals that we don't see the importance of regulating our emotions. Changing how you respond to stress and how you think about stressful situations is as important as maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine."
The results were based on data from 711 men and women between 25 and 74 who had participated in the Midlife Development in the United States project and the National Study of Daily Experiences.
According to Charles and her colleagues, the findings show that mental health outcomes aren't affected by just major life events; they also bear the impact of seemingly minor emotional experiences. The study suggests that the chronic nature of negative emotions in response to daily stressors can take a toll on long-term psychological well-being.
"It's important not to let everyday problems ruin your moments," Charles said. "After all, moments add up to days, and days add up to years. Unfortunately, people don't see mental health problems as such until they become so severe that they require professional attention."
