Julianne Hough knows how to keep Ryan Seacrest on his toes.
In the July issue of Glamour, the "Rock of Ages "star admits to being highly competitive with the "American Idol" host, whom she began dating in 2010. "It gets silly. Ryan and I are very alike," she explains. "When we work out with a trainer, we'll die before we stop, like, to the point where we can't breathe."
PHOTOS: Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest's red hot romance
Though she's 24 and he's 37, their age difference doesn't bother Hough. As for Seacrest? "He's always joking about it," Hough tells the magazine.
The two first met while Hough was engaged to childhood pal Zach Wilson, also a dancer. "He was a great guy -- I'd known him since I was 9. But I needed to figure myself out more, and so I moved to L.A. and we ended it," Hough says of Wilson. "And actually, he ended up marrying my childhood best friend, and now they have a kid together. It was a little weird when it happened, but they're a great couple!"

The dancer-turned-actress rebounded with country music star Chuck Wicks, 32, who went on to become her partner on "Dancing With the Stars." "While we were dating, we went on Ryan's radio show together. The interview's on YouTube, and I blush when I hear it because Ryan is hitting on me the entire time! At the end, Ryan said something like, 'You guys really have something special!' And I thought to myself, 'He's so full of s--- right now!' When Chuck and I broke up, I wanted to be single. That lasted five months. Then Ryan and I went on a date."

According to Hough, she was attracted to the "similarities" she shared with Seacrest: "We both like that perfection in ourselves, and we want to make our relationship like that."
VIDEO: Ryan Seacrest proposes to Julianne Hough -- sort of
Like Seacrest, who also hosts "E! News" and continues to emcee his daily radio show, Hough is workhorse. "I'm a very anxious person. If I'm not working, I go crazy," she tells Glamour. "I've been lucky in my career. But if I lost everything tomorrow -- and had no money -- I would somehow make it work. I have that survivor mentality because of a lot of stuff that went on in a previous life. I feel like I've had four lives."

Pros: Strong high-tech industry, eco-minded area, abundant college sports
Con: Struggling state economy
The "college town" image is embraced in Ann Arbor, where the University of Michigan is considered by business leaders and entrepreneurs to be the engine of the city. Though located in an area suffering what's been called a "one-state depression," the educated workers and steady stream of startups coming from UM have helped Ann Arbor weather Michigan's economic decline.
The city's strong suit is its high-tech industry, which receives significant support from a private-public partnership called Ann Arbor Spark. A statewide Pre-Seed Capital Fund targets tech companies in four fields: advanced automotive, manufacturing, and materials; alternative energy; homeland security and defense; and life sciences. The fund invests up to $250,000 in promising ventures (which are required to match the fund's cash with their own) and takes an equity stake in return; the goal is to give promising ventures the cash needed to advance beyond the development stage.
Taxes are a bit of a sore spot throughout Michigan, but state officials aim to be responsive to business needs. A 'single business tax' (SBT) that behaved like a payroll tax did not sit well with the business community; as a result, it was repealed and replaced at the start of 2008 by the Michigan Business Tax. The new tax, based on business income and gross receipts, offers a number of credits to help companies reduce their tax bite.
The cost of living in Ann Arbor is high for the region, but in return the city offers a number of attractive amenities for residents, including a vibrant arts scene, award-winning restaurants, easy access to Northern Michigan's freshwater lakes, and highly ranked college sports teams. -Brandi Stewart
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to the Single Business Tax as still in effect. FSB regrets the error.

Trial record 14 of 135 for:
Donepezil in Chronic Poststroke Aphasia: a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study has been completed.

Detailed Description:
- Aphasia (impairment of language function due to brain damage)may be treated with speech-language therapy and drugs. Several drugs have been studied but with limited success.
- Recent data suggest that the neurotransmitter acetylcholine may be reduced in brain damaged subjects and that drugs that stimulates acetylcholine activity may help recovery of aphasic deficits particularly when paired with speech-language therapy.
- Recent evidence indicates that medicaments acting on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine may promote improvement of aphasic deficits and our previous open-label study of donepezil in post-stroke aphasia showed benefits in all patients and observed benefit were long-lasting (6 months).This study will test the safety and efficacy of donepezil (an agent acting on acetylcholine)in subjects with stroke-related chronic aphasia (more than 1 yr of evolution).
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Stroke Aphasia |
Drug: Donepezil |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Treatment With Donepezil of Chronic Aphasia and Sensorimotor Deficits Associated to Cerebrovascular Accidents: a Double-Blind,Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Parallel Trial. |
Resource links provided by NLM:
Further study details as provided by Gabinete Berthier y Martínez:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Language function (overall aphasia severity)
- Communication
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Depression
- Cognitive evaluation of language function
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | February 2003 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | March 2005 |
- Prior clinical information of donepezil treatment of post-stroke aphasia comes from single-case studies, small case-series and an open-label study. In addition, an extension phase of a small open-label study also suggest that the efficacy of donepezil in chronic post-stroke apahsia is maintained at long-term follow-up. These data collectively suggest that in post-stroke donepezil is effective and well-tolerated with a limited potential for causing clinically significant interactions when prescribed with other medications. However, these results are preliminary and should be judged parsimoniously until randomized controlled trials will be performed.Moreover, recent data by our group also showed that donepezil may improve sensorimotor deficits (hemiparesis)in some patients.
- The use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil in post-stroke may be justified because in vivo and postmortem studies have shown that patients with vascular dementia and lesions in subcortical and cortical structures have deficient cholinergic neurotransmission that results from interruption of cholinergic pathways linking the basal forebrain with the cerebral cortex, including the perisylvian language area.In addition, two large-scale randomized controlled trials in patients pure vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment found that donepezil was significantly superior to placebo on cognition, global function and activities of daily living.And the most noticeable benefits of donepezil over placebo at doses of 5-mg and 10-mg were found on the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog/11), an assessment instrument highly reliant upon language variables (6 out of 11 items).
- We evaluated the efficacy of donepezil in patients with chronic aphasia associated with stroke.This is a 20-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel study that enrolled aphasic patient with more than one year of evolution. During the study all patients continued receiving two hours weekly of conventional speech-language therapy. Patients were randomized in an 1:1 ratio to donepezil, 5-mg/day, for the first 4 weeks, followed by forced dose escalation to 10-mg/day thereafter (n =13), or placebo (n = 13) and then a 4 week washout period. The primary efficacy measures were the Aphasia Quotient (AQ) of the Western Aphasia Battery and the Communicative Activity Log. Secondary efficacy measures included selected subtests of the Psycholinguistic Assessment of Language Processing in Aphasia that examined phonological and lexical-semantic domains and the Stroke Aphasia Depression Questionnaire.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 69 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Chronic aphasia of more than one year duration. Must be able to complete protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Heart block

Although Asia's countries are tremendously diverse, they are linked by a number of important economic issues: the practice of "contractualization," which turns permanent jobs into informal work, the effect on individual countries of international financial institution policies and programs, and the increased exploitation of migrant workers. Asian workers also are reeling from the global economic crisis, which has shuttered factories and sent migrant workers back to poverty and joblessness while providing a pretext for employers to continue the race to the bottom in terms of wages. As companies chase the lowest costs and highest profits around the globe, Southeast Asia has become a haven for export processing zones. Millions of workers desperate for decent wages and benefits become trapped in these "factory cities," lured into a life of 12-hour workdays, forced unpaid overtime, and sub-poverty wages. Once inside the EPZs, the workers have no rights on the job. Any attempt to form a union is squelched. Union activists are fired and blacklisted, unable to find another job. Some Asian countries encourage migration as an unwritten development policy. Money earned by workers who go abroad contributes significantly to country economies, as workers send earnings home to their families. Millions of workers from South and Southeast Asia are employed in the Arabian Gulf in construction, manual labor and domestic service. All of these countries belong to the International Labor Organization and thus are bound to observe and protect core labor standards, including the right to form and join unions. In reality, however, only three of the six Gulf states — Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman — have labor laws that offer a framework for independent unions. Few migrant workers have rights on the job or in their communities. Men, women, and children are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation at all stages of the migration experience.

U.S. Trade Decision Key Step for Bangladesh Worker Rights. June 28, 2013—Workers in Bangladesh—especially millions of poorly paid garment workers who often risk their lives in dangerous factories—won a new tool to advance their rights when the United States suspended preferential trade benefits with the country. U.S. Rep. Miller Meets with Bangladesh Garment Union Leaders. May 30, 2013—The freedom to form factory-level unions and negotiate job safety, living wages and fundamental social protections is key to any reform of Bangladesh's labor laws, leaders and members of Bangladesh unions and worker organizations told U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.). Over the weekend, Miller held two meetings at the Solidarity Center's Bangladesh office with garment union leaders and more than two dozen workers from newly formed and registered unions at 20 garment factories.

Cambodia: Owner Admits Negligence in Factory Collapse. May 20, 2013—At least 23 garment workers were injured today when a structure the workers used for rest breaks collapsed in Cambodia. The collapse comes just days after two workers were killed when a ceiling caved in at a Cambodian shoe factory. Bangladesh Government Moves to Ease Unionization. May 14, 2013—The Bangladesh Cabinet approved a change to the nation's labor laws that it says would enable workers to more freely form unions. The proposal, which must be approved by Parliament, would allow workers to join unions without showing the list of union supporters to factory owners to verify their employment—a practice that effectively makes it impossible for unions to gather sufficient support to register with the government because factory owners often penalize or fire workers who support unionization. Bangladesh: Shoddy Construction Behind Building Collapse. May 3 2013—More than 500 people have now been confirmed dead in last week's building collapse in Bangladesh, the country's worst industrial disaster on record. The dead are among the 2,868 victims pulled from the rubble of the eight-story building, which housed five garment factories where thousands of workers toiled on the upper floors. Bangladesh: Deaths Exceed 300, Warrant Out for Building Owner. April 26, 2013—More than 300 workers now have been confirmed dead from Wednesday's building collapse in Bangladesh. Some 2,200 survivors have been pulled from the ruins of what is being called one of the worst manufacturing disasters in history.

April 25, 2013—"The factory caught fire about 6 p.m. After the fire, they did not allow us to go out," says Nazma. "They locked the gate. The workers were screaming together." Nazma is among the Tazreen Factory fire survivors in this video who describe the horrific workplace conditions that killed 112 garment workers in November. The unsafe and deadly working conditions at Tazreen are similar to those many Bangladesh garment workers face every day. But for many, living through the fire is just the beginning of their ordeal. Sumi Describes Surviving the Tazreen Garment Factory Fire. April 25, 2013—Workers Memorial Day, internationally observed each April 28, is more timely than ever this year. The rising death toll from yesterday's building collapse in Bangladesh and the recent workplace deaths at the fertilizer factory in West, Texas, serve as tragic reminders of how much more needs to be done to ensure the safety and health of workers around the world. As part of Workers Memorial Day events, the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Md., is hosting a symposium: "From Mourning to Mass Movements: Garment Workers, Fire Safety and the International Fight for Social Justice." Solidarity Center Mourns for Workers Killed in Bangladesh. April 24, 2013—Another four garment factories in Bangladesh became death traps today, and the Solidarity Center is mourning the senseless loss of life and the grievous injuries that have befallen hundreds of workers who were simply trying to make a living. The organization is calling on the Bangladesh government to enforce its labor and building codes, on brands that source from the country to prioritize health and safety conditions in factories, and on both to respect the rights of workers and to recognize that the only way Bangladesh will have safe factories is if workers have a voice on the job. Hong Kong Dock Workers Strike against Exploitation and Injustice. April 15, 2013—About 450 Hong Kong dock workers continue their strike against port operator Hong Kong International Terminals (HIT), a subsidiary of billionaire Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Whampoa, and its subcontractors. Struggling to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world, the workers are demanding higher pay and better working conditions. Bangladesh: 1 Year Later, Murderer of Aminul Islam Still Free. April 4, 2013—The Solidarity Center and the international worker rights movement are commemorating Bangladesh union leader Aminul Islam, who was brutally murdered one year ago today. His murderer or murderers remain at large. Bangladesh: Shrimp Industry to Address Working Conditions. March 27, 2013—In Bangladesh, shrimp industry leaders—at the urging of workers and human rights groups—have taken a step toward improving working conditions for the nearly 1 million shrimp workers who toil during peak season across the supply chain. Report Examines Garment Factory Fires in Bangladesh, Pakistan. March 15, 2013—Two massive fires at garment factories in Bangladesh and Pakistan last year killed hundreds of workers, many trapped in buildings with inadequate or locked exits. A new report examining both horrific incidents finds that the deaths and injuries were "caused or exacerbated by illegal, unsafe buildings, faulty electrics or machinery, poor safety procedures and avoidable hazards such as blocked or inadequate fire exits." The report, Fatal Fashions, points out that workers' lack of freedom to form unions and bargain collectively to improve working conditions underlies this deadly environment.
Bangladesh: Three Months After Tazreen Fire, Little Change. February 20, 2013—Three months after at least 112 workers died in the Tazreen Fashion factory fire, dangerous and deadly working conditions are commonplace for the nearly 2 million Bangladeshi garment workers, who have little recourse than to take jobs that may kill them. Worker Rights under Attack in the Maldives. February 5, 2013—Even as the Maldivian government further shuts the door on worker rights, union leaders and members of the Maldives Port Workers Union (MPWU) who were fired or suspended from their jobs in 2012 remain strong in their struggle. In recent days, Maldives President Mohammed Waheed Hassan Mani signed a bill into law that restricts freedom of assembly throughout the island nation. This move follows the firing and suspension of MPWU leaders and members by the state-owned Maldives Port Limited early last year. India: 2.5 Million Miners Now Have Worker Compensation. January 31, 2013—Some 2.5 million mine workers in Rajasthan, India, will now be covered by worker compensation for job-related illnesses and injuries, a victory that stems from a multiyear campaign by safety and health advocates. The decision this week by the state of Rajasthan, in northwest India, also provides compensation to widows of miners who died from silicosis and creates a structure for improved safety standards. Bangladesh: Seven Women Dead in A Preventable Factory Fire. January 28, 2013—Seven young women, at least two of them teenagers, died over the weekend in a Bangladesh garment factory fire—the 28th fire incident to frighten, injure or kill Bangladeshi garment workers since a deadly blaze at the Tazreen factory killed at least 112 workers in late November, according to Solidarity Center staff in Bangladesh. At least 491 garment workers have been injured on the job since the Tazreen blaze, according to information compiled by the Solidarity Center. Cambodia: Brands Could Help Garment Workers Get Better Nutrition. January 24, 2013—Among the thousands of Cambodian garment workers who have fainted on the job over the past few years, many suffer from malnutrition, anemia and dehydration. Low wages and a relative monopoly on food canteens surrounding factories leave workers with few options for healthy food. In recent months, however, Cambodia's garment manufacturers and unions have begun working together to urge clothing and apparel brand makers to fund one free meal for workers each day. The Solidarity Center played a key role in facilitating the agreement between the two groups. ILO Report: 52 Million Domestic Workers Worldwide. January 9, 2013—Some 52 million people over age 15—primarily women—labor as domestic workers around the world, according to a report released today by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

The HRDF then engaged in a series of lengthy consultations with a range of Thai government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to compile the 346-page guidebook. Bangladesh: 17 Garment Fires Since 112 Killed in Tazreen. December 21, 2012—It has been nearly a month since at least 112 Bangladeshi workers died in the horrific fire at Tazreen Fashion Ltd garment factory. A government probe has identified nine mid-level officials "who barred the workers from leaving the factory after the fire broke out," according to the Bangladesh Daily Star Report. The factory owners kept fabric bales in the building's basement, rather than in fireproof storage as required by Bangladesh law. Sri Lanka: A Worker Center Offers a Model for Aiding Migrant Workers. December 18, 2012—With no other option to support her family in her native Sri Lanka, Nalani Samarasinghe, 41, has moved to Qatar three times for jobs ranging from 11 months to three years. At her last job as a domestic worker, she was expected to work between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m. daily with no holidays. In addition, the employer charged her rent and refused to let her return home for more than two years. Samarasinghe, who was interviewed by the Migrant Service Center in Sri Lanka, says she could not leave for a better job because migrant workers visa's in Qatar are tied to a particular employer. Bangladesh Garment Workers Federation Pledges Action at Factory Level. December 14, 2012—When Kona, a textile worker in Bangladesh, tried to help her co-workers win better conditions on the job, she was harassed to the point where she and her husband were forced into hiding.

Interview: Labor, Business Must Partner for Ethical Investment in Burma. December 3, 2012—Political transformation is happening fast in Burma, but social and cultural change are just beginning—putting the country at a key tipping point for how it ultimately will be structured, says Pyi Thit Nyunt Wai, general secretary of the Federation of Trade Unions-Burma (FTUB). "We're starting at ground zero. The country is like dough that's being kneaded. We must decide what shape it has to be," he says. Paying with Their Lives: The High Cost of Cheap Clothing. November 28, 2012—Last weekend, more than 110 garment workers died in a fire that burned the Tazreen Fashion Ltd. garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka.

Abstract: The crystal structures of 2,4,5-tribromo-1-(prop-2-ynyl)imidazole and seven new 1,3-dialkyl-2,4,5-tribromoimidazolium salts (R1 = propenyl, propynyl, dibromopropenyl; R2 = Me, Et) with halogen-containing anions (tetrafluoroborate, hexafluorophosphate, triflimide) were determined. The structures revealed halogen...halogen and anion...π interactions. Contacts of the type Br...Br, Br...F, Br...O, Br...N, F...F, H...Br, H...F, F...π and O...π were identified. Specific interactions were quantified by Hirshfeld surface analysis.
Keywords: bromine; fluorine; halogen interaction; Hirshfeld surface analysis; imidazole

On Tap in DII Clubs This Weekend |
Clubs - Men's DII Clubs |
Southern California Pasadena hosts 0-1 South Bay Rhinos this weekend, while Ventura County visits San Fernando Valley, who were idle last week. Pasadena and Ventura County have developed an interesting rivalry. Last season Ventura finished 2nd in the league with an 8-1 record, but lost a multi-overtime playoff game to 3-5-1 Pasadena 46-41. They will remember that when two play April 6. Also 1-0 are the North County Gurkhas, who host 0-1 Huntington Beach, and Kern County, who host 0-1 Eagle Rock. Two other teams face off, both 0-1, as Santa Barbara visits Riverside. Fresno is 2-1 in preseason play and were stymied a bit by SoCal team Kern County 28-8 in a friendly match. With a big, powerful forward pack Houston United is formidable up front, and the HURT have enough pace to punish teams if they leave gaps. They take on 0-2 Dallas Athletic this weekend. The Frisco Griffins, led by No. 8 and captain Kevin Harrell as well as center Justin Boyd, will have a tough task this weekend as they travel about 300 miles to take on 1-3 Alamo City. Winless Katy plays 1-3 Oklahoma City in Oklahoma, while the big game may well be 2-1 Shreveport making their way to La Porte, Texas to face 2-1 Bay Area. Clearly the winner of that game will remain in the hunt for 1st place. Shreveport will be hoping Mark Burley against has the scoring touch as his two tries paced his team to a big win over Alamo City a month ago. Bay Area hasn't played a league game since December 1, when captain Hayden Randall scored three tries and kicked another eight points for a total of 23 in his team's 40-10 dismissal of Katy. Florida The Orlando Griffins, who are 4-1-1, visit Jacksonville, 0-3. As with Tampa, last weekend was far from easy for Orlando. They needed Ken Britt to block a drop goal attempt, gather the ball, and ramble 75 meters for a try to edge Daytona 26-17. Naples (5-1) visits 3-3 Fort Lauderdale. Once again, the favored team comes into the game a bit shaken up. Yes the Hammerheads won last week, but only 11-10 over Boca Raton. Johnny Lindsay scored the lone Naples try and Ryan Shore kicked two penalties for the victory. Boca will not be too happy to see that game slip away. Now at 4-2, the Buccaneers look to rebound against 0-7 Miami.

Monitoring radioactive waste sites
Los Alamos, N.M.After years of weapons production and nuclear fuel reprocessing activities, the U.S. created millions of gallons of radioactively contaminated waste. Because storage of much of this liquid waste is in underground stainless- and carbon-steel, radioactive, liquid-waste storage tanks that potentially face corrosion, researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory are now developing new technologies for real-time monitoring.
Historically, corrosion monitoring has been accomplished by comparing the results of chemical analysis of waste samples drawn from the tank against established standards or by evaluating tank material test strips, called coupons, immersed in the waste for long periods of time and withdrawn for analysis. Pulling the coupons from a tank is expensive and risks worker exposure. Also, neither the sample nor the coupon exposure method provides the rapid results needed to initiate corrective measures quickly.
A new monitoring technique using electrochemical noise provides real-time corrosion data and reduces the potential for exposing workers to radiation. And the enhanced corrosion data lowers operating costs via improved tank waste management. Electrochemical noise corrosion monitoring tracks extremely small current and voltage fluctuations among three electrodes, made of material as similar as possible to the waste tank material, placed in the waste solution.
Current is measured between two electrically coupled electrodes (a working electrode and a counter electrode), while the third electrode connects between the working electrode and a pseudoreference electrode to measure the voltage.
The magnitude and polarity of the signals, as well as the relationship of the timed signal traces to one another, provide indicators of type and significance of the corrosion processes occurring in the tank. Particular types of corrosion have unique and potential "signatures" that indicate when pitting or stress corrosion cracking is occurring.
"Because the chemistry near the electrodes and tank walls is similar, whatever happens on the electrodes, after some period of gaining equilibrium, is the same as what's happening on the tank walls," said Los Alamos project manager Mike Terry.
Electrochemical noise to detect corrosion is not new. Officials used it in the oil and gas industry for 10 years before a test program started in 1995 by the DOE's Tanks Focus Area (TFA) to evaluate electrochemical noise's application in radioactive waste storage tanks. "It's not a new technology, but it's definitely an emerging technology for our application," said Terry, who represents Los Alamos's involvement in the TFA as safety technology integration manager.
Because of the range of tank construction materials, tank designs, and varied waste chemistries encountered, researchers are testing different probe/electrode designs to confirm they generate meaningful signatures and accurately interpret the measurements.
The project is part of an effort funded by DOE's Office of Environmental Management.

Emma Redinger, a 19-year-old from Ogallala, died shortly after midnight Friday in a rollover accident on Interstate 80 near Hershey.
Redinger was riding with 18-year-old Casey Lake of Grant, the Nebraska State Patrol said. Lake lost control and over-corrected. The car rolled several times and ended up in the ditch, according to the Patrol.
The wreck occurred about 3 miles east of Hershey at 12:35 a.m. The two were headed west, toward home.
Redinger was wearing a seatbelt but the Nebraska State Patrol says it is possible that it might not have been applied correctly, but that is speculative at this point, State Trooper J.J. Connelly said Monday.
Lake was not wearing a seatbelt and was airlifted to Denver with severe injuries.
The accident is being reconstructed, Connelly said.

ATTENTION ALL MUSIC PMP PRODUCERS, SONGWRITERS AND MUSICIANS!!! MISSION: Discover the next future star talent from the Production Market Place to be signed to Artist Publishing Group ASSIGNMENT: Complete the following tasks demonstrating the necessary skills to excel as a creative force in the competitive music industry. TRACK DUMP NOW OPEN 1 - Create a new production for an already existing song (will provide acapella) 2- Flip a specific sample (will provide 2 choices) 3 - Make 2 beats for a specific A-list artist 4 - Freestyle on your instrument of choice (not vocals) "We want to help producers, songwriters and musicians reach their full potential. PMP has been, and continues to be, a great resource for talented individuals to be paired appropriately." - Mike Caren CEO, Artist Publishing Group / Worldwide President, A&R, Warner Music Group If working with some of the biggest acts in the game, scoring platinum hit records, earning substantial royalty/publishing paychecks and recieving various awards of recognition sounds good to you then we welcome you to come take the APG Challange!
"...In the meantime, I was trying to find a way to break into the industry as a producer. I tried everything... I mean EVERYTHING. Looking from the outside in, it's hard to imagine what the industry is really like. To me it was like a secret society, and none of my friends knew much about it. I wasted so much time and energy barking up the wrong trees. One day, my girlfriend at the time was reading through a copy of the new Scratch Magazine (RIP)
(Magazine, not girlfriend). She found an ad for PMP Worldwide and suggested that I spend my last $450 ($275) on a subscription. I checked out the site and immediately signed up - it was the best thing I had found by far. 2 months later I got a call from Mike Caren at Atlantic Records after submitting for a Juvenile track dump. He was starting to build his publishing company at the time. He tested me for a few months, and we sent ideas back and forth. Shortly after, I gave him a song for Flo Rida's first album using a sample he'd sent me, and the rest of the story starts at the beginning of my discography.
"Kevin "BOS" Randolph and I would like to thank you directly Mitch and the people of PMP for assisting us with the French Montana placement "Throw it in the Bag".

As part of the "Tracing Our Roots" series of discussions at NYU Steinhardt's Piano Studies program, Marilyn Nonken will offer a unique program focusing on her own career and teachers this Sunday, 21 April, at 3.00pm at NYU's Black Box Theatre, 82 Washington Square East. During the free event, Marilyn (who directs the Piano Studies program at NYU Steinhardt) will perform works by Arnold Schoenberg, Luigi Dallapiccola, and Tristan Murail, and also provide reminiscences of her mentors David Burge, who passed away earlier this month, and Leonard Stein. (The New York Times obituary for Burge can be found here.) Her first book, The Spectral Piano, is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.
Did I mention it was free? I look forward to being there. For a brief taste, here's Justin Urcis's interview with Marilyn about Murail's Territoires de l'oubli:

A wild-asparagus omelet with fresh vegetable fritters and fava-bean puree is nothing if not satisfying. Especially if your feast takes place in a Greek taverna beside the Ionian Sea. But if all you do is eat, you're missing out on the full experience. Attend a seminar with Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries, and you'll see where the asparagus grew on a hike led by a resident botanist. You'll learn what fava-bean puree means to Cretan culture as you tour ancient ruins with a certified historian. You'll find out how to prepare your own vegetable fritters from Nikki Rose, the Greek-American chef who founded CCS in 1997. Since then, her network of island businesses has expanded to include organic farmers, artisan food producers, local musicians, artists and small-lodge owners across the island. The bounty of expertise allows her to promote eco-tourism across the island and spread the word about Crete's tradition of sustainable cooking, gardening and living to travelers from around the world. CCS hosts about 10 seminars throughout the year. Each one (whether open to the public or arranged privately) is only available to about eight travelers, so you'll be sure to get a full, personal experience at every session — and, of course, a full, satisfying plate at every meal.

Breakthrough: Open Source Firm Official Supplier to British Schools
The British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta), the government body with the mission of "Leading next generation learning," has for the first time included Open Source enterprises on their list of official software and IT service suppliers for the nation's schools.
At the same time, the Becta agency collaborated with the British Office for Government Commerce (OGC) to create a Software for Educational Institutions Framework agreement. The framework will replace the current software licensing scheme with a new one starting in October. Becta selected 12 suppliers for the new framework agreement. Included on this list is Sirius Corporation, a British Open Source solutions provider. Becta will sign formal agreements with the suppliers and British schools are to orient themselves to the new list over the next four years. About £80 million worth of business is expected, "delivering significant savings over what could be achieved via ad-hoc procurement mechanisms."
"The Inquirer" newspaper considers the new Becta suppliers list an "historic UK breakthrough" for Open Source. Mark Taylor, president of Sirius, confirms this assessment. Educational bodies had been reluctant to adopt Open Source solutions while they were absent from the approved list. Now, Taylor says, there is a strong pressure on schools and regional bodies to make their purchasing budgets comply with the new agreement.
Becta had become increasingly skeptical of Microsoft. Beginning of the year, the agency discouraged schools from migrating to Windows Vista. They were also strongly against ISO approval of Microsoft's OOXML document format and recommended the existing Open Document Format (ODF) instead.

Peahi's seasonal debut didn't disappoint, Greg Long termed it, "The heaviest Jaws paddle session I have been a part of." This unusual northerly storm system provided a memorable opening day on Maui and a deeply sober event, the most probable drowning of Kirk Passmore, on Oahu's North Shore.
Often big waves and their practitioners are described in breathy superlatives of close shaves with death and incredible feats of derring-do. A death brings into sharp focus that banging the life out of a subject's vocabulary in no way lessens the risk involved. Big waves are deadly, as we are reminded of with depressing regularity, and anyone prepared to go out there and push themselves over the edge should be wrapped in laurel and applauded through the streets. Greg Long is renowned for being prepared and still he wasn't immune to almost drowning at Cortez Bank 11 months ago. Maya Gabeira had to be resuscitated out at Nazare only a few weeks back. This is the proving ground and paddling Peahi its apex.

Oil spill responders 'not happy' with federal office closure
The federal government's decision to close its emergency oil spill office in Vancouver will not deprive B.C. of actual boots on the ground in the event of a spill in local waters.
But the designated responders who would contain and clean up the oil are concerned their local federal advisors will be relocated to Quebec.
"We're not happy with it," said Bruce Turnbull, spokesman at the Western Canada Marine Response Corp.
A total of 42 Environment Canada employees in the Pacific region are affected by cost-saving shifts announced in the federal budget to carve $3.78 million from the Environmental Emergencies Program.
B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said Ottawa has indicated only five of the federal staffers do spill-related work and only as advisors, not as actual responders in the field.
Western Canada Marine Response (formerly Burrard Clean) crews would respond with booms and skimming vessels if a tanker spilled oil in B.C. waters.
But Turnbull said they might also call in Environment Canada staff to serve in key incident command roles, act as environmental unit leaders or to act as technical advisors in areas such as First Nations or fisheries concerns.
Federal staff will still be available – by phone from Montreal or Gatineau.
"I'm hesitant to say it's not going to work," Turnbull said. "It could be a new learning curve. It could cause issues."
He said he preferred frequent, direct contact with locally based federal staff, adding such relationships can be important when multiple agencies must coordinate their response to a crisis at 2 a.m.
The decision comes in the wake of Kinder Morgan's announcement it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline and nearly triple the amount of oil it will carry here from Alberta.
If approved, the number of oil tankers loading in north Burnaby would jump more than five-fold to at least 300 a year.
NDP energy critic Peter Julian, the MP for Burnaby-New Westminster, said it's "reckless and dangerous" for Ottawa to close the west coast's only federal spill response office while it expedites reviews for pipeline projects that will increase oil tanker traffic.
"For the Conservatives to say to British Columbians, 'In the event of an environmental catastrophe, leave a voice mail message in Ottawa,' is shameful," he said.
Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent said the move to centralize staff won't increase risks to the environment.
"These employees were not cleaning up spills. They were providing information about environmentally sensitive land and species at risk," he said.
The federal government has promised more money for the Coast Guard and Transport Canada, as well as an extra $35 million over two years for tanker safety and $13.5 million for increased pipeline inspections.
"I can assure British Columbians that the response capability of all levels of government is sufficient and that capability will increase to match any potential expansion of oil tanker traffic," Lake added.
