VENTNOR, NJ, April 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Jimmy Fallon, the host of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" has carved out his own little corner of the late night universe, appealing to a particular brand of pop culture awareness and nostalgia. That love of junk culture from a particular era (mostly the early '90s) inspired Fallon to stage reunions of the casts of "Saved By the Bell" and "California Dreams" as well as a number of music acts from the era. Such was the case when Bel Biv Devoe took the stage at 30 Rock to tear into their classic single "Poison." BBD is represented for celebrity appearances by none other than the "Agent to the Stars" Mike Esterman of Esterman.com. Thanks to Esterman and the appearance on Fallon, BBD is back on everyones radar as one of the best "live" groups around.
Esterman has just released BBD's touring schedule for April/May:
- April 15, 2011 - Raleigh, NC
- April 21, 2011 - Rochester, NY
- April 22, 2011 - Chicago, IL
- April 23, 2011 - Cleveland, OH
- May 6, 2011 - Uncasville, CT
- May 7, 2011 - Landover, MD
Bel Biv Devoe is made up of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe, all of whom were members of New Edition.

2 new studies link hunting to lead in scavenger birds
2011-04-08
Two new UC Davis studies add scientific evidence that hunters' lead ammunition often finds its way into carrion-eating birds, such as eagles and turkey vultures.
These scavenger species often take advantage of animal remains left behind when a hunter cleans a kill or when a shot deer or wild pig escapes the hunter but dies later.
However, when the remains contain lead shot pellets or bullet fragments, the scavenger birds can develop lead poisoning, which can cause inability to fly, starvation, anemia, blindness, seizures and death.
In 1991, to protect bald eagles, ...
Africa's Biggest Brand: MTN's Recipe For Success with African Business Review
2011-04-08
On paper, the performance of African brands in the BrandFinance Global 500 list of the most valuable brands looks poor.
Telecoms giant MTN is the sole representative of African brands to make the top 500, positioned 199th in the table topped by Google.
However, we took the time to delve deeper into the outlook for the continent's brands - and it is certainly bright.
We spoke to two experts in the field Oliver Schmitz - Managing Director of Brand Finance South Africa and Thebe Ikalafeng, the founder of Brand Leadership Group.

Fishes that don't sleep point to genetic basis for slumber, NYU biologists find
2011-04-08
Cave fish sleep significantly less than their surface counterparts, a finding by New York University biologists that reveals the genes involved in sleep patterns and disorders. Their study, which appears in the journal Current Biology, may shed light on how genetic makeup contributes to sleep variation and disruption in humans.
The study's authors were Erik Duboué, an NYU graduate student, Alex Keene, an NYU post-doctoral fellow, and Richard Borowsky, a professor in NYU's Department of Biology.
They examined surface fish in the species Astyanax mexicanus and three cave ...
Instant evolution in whiteflies: Just add bacteria
2011-04-08
In just six years, bacteria in the genus Rickettsia spread through a population of the sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), an invasive pest of global importance. Infected insects lay more eggs, develop faster and are more likely to survive to adulthood compared to their uninfected peers.
The discoveries were made by a University of Arizona-led team of scientists and are published in the April 8 issue of the journal Science.
"It's instant evolution," said Molly Hunter, a professor of entomology in the UA's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the study's ...

New model of whiskers provides insight into sense of touch
2011-04-08
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a model that will allow them to simulate how rats use their whiskers to sense objects around them. The model enables further research that may provide insight into the human sense of touch.
Hundreds of papers are published each year that use the rat whisker system as a model to understand brain development and neural processing. Rats move their whiskers rhythmically against objects to explore the environment by touch. Using only tactile information from its whiskers, a rat can determine all of an object's spatial ...
A procedure used in preconception diagnosis can lead to problems with pregnancies
2011-04-08
A new study demonstrates that a procedure used in preconception diagnosis to identify eggs that are free of genetic disease might not work well in all cases. The research, published by Cell Press in the April issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, highlights the issues associated with analyzing the amount of mutant mitochondrial DNA in supporting cells as a proxy for eggs prior to in vitro fertilization.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and preconception diagnosis (PCD) are services that have been very useful to couples who have a genetic defect in their ...
US students and science: AAAS testing gives new insight on what they know and their misconceptions
2011-04-08
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has launched an innovative website to help educators assess more precisely what students know about key ideas in science and -- just as importantly -- the incorrect ideas they have. It offers an unusually detailed picture of how middle and high school students across the United States are currently doing in science, and features information on what they know and on hundreds of misconceptions they have about everything from the size of atoms to whether all organisms have DNA.
Knowing these misconceptions and how ...

NASA's Kepler helps Iowa State's Kawaler, astronomers update census of sun-like stars
2011-04-08
AMES, Iowa – NASA's Kepler Mission has detected changes in brightness in 500 sun-like stars, giving astronomers a much better idea about the nature and evolution of the stars.
Prior to Kepler's launch in March 2009, astronomers had identified the changes in brightness, or oscillations, of about 25 stars similar to our sun in size, age, composition and location within the Milky Way galaxy.
The discoveries are reported in a paper, "Ensemble Asteroseismology of Solar-Type Stars with the NASA Kepler Mission," in the April 8 issue of the journal Science. The lead author ...
