Television Producer/Philanthropist Loreen Arbus & 'CSI' Star Robert David Hall to Present the Inaugural 'Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarship' at the 31st Annual College Television Awards

Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act With the Major Launch of a $40,000 Scholarship Program

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation announced that television producer/philanthropist/disability rights activist Loreen Arbus, the first woman television executive in America to head up programming at a network, and Robert David Hall, star of the hit series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", will present the Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarships at the 31st Annual College Television Awards gala on April 10 at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood.

"The Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarship is a tremendous addition to the College Television Awards," said Television Academy Foundation Executive Director Terri Clark. "We are grateful for Loreen's support. This is a meaningful way to salute her extensive work on behalf of disabled Americans as well as perpetuate the legacy of her parents."

"I am honored to be presenting the first-ever Focus on Disability Scholarships to two student producers who heighten awareness of the largest minority in the U.S. -- people with disability," said Loreen Arbus. "As co-founder of the Media Office of the California Governor's Committee for Employment of Disabled Persons, it has been my great good fortune to have interacted over the years with Robert David Hall, who I so admire for his tireless work and passionate commitment to debunking disability stereotypes in Hollywood."

The Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarship is a joint partnership between The Loreen Arbus Foundation, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation and The Foundation of the Alliance for Women in Media. The scholarship focuses specifically on the needs, achievements, contributions and stories of people with disabilities, and commemorates the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Scholarship will be given to two aspiring student television producers.

The two scholarships will be presented April 10th at the 31st Annual College Television Awards, the Television Academy Foundation's annual celebration of the best in student television, digital and film work in the U.S. One honoree, determined by the Television Academy Foundation, produced a moving documentary. The second honoree, representing the Alliance for Women in Media (formerly AWRT), produced a powerful public service announcement. Each will receive a $10,000 scholarship from The Loreen Arbus Foundation. The winning work will be showcased at a special screening on Sunday, April 11th at the Television Academy Foundation's Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood. Tickets to the College Television Awards can be purchased through the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation website.

"I am thrilled that the idea I had to create this scholarship is being brought to light by these two wonderful organizations," said Loreen Arbus.

Loreen Arbus: Bringing groundbreaking advocacy for people with disabilities and carrying on a family legacy

Holding the distinction of serving as the first woman in the U.S. to head programming at a network (at both Showtime and Cable Health Network/Lifetime), Loreen Arbus is committed to her work with United Cerebral Palsy (UCP), the organization co-founded by her parents, Isabelle and Leonard H. Goldenson, Founder/Chairman, ABC. The fifth-largest U.S. health agency, UCP serves and advocates on behalf of more than 54 million Americans with disabilities.

Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act

In 1968 - more than 20 years prior to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) -- the Goldensons successfully lobbied to create Section 502, The Architectural Barriers Act which for the first time prohibited discrimination on the basis of disability. Mrs. Goldenson's unique ideas resulted in Federal laws mandating shaved corners of street curbs, lowered public telephones, enlarged restroom cubicles, ramps in public buildings, and designated "handicapped" parking in every city in the United States. Recognized as the predecessor to the ADA, Section 502 directed communities around the country to take steps towards greater accessibility for people with disabilities.

Hot Metal: Digital Praise(R) Debuts STRYPER Expansion Pack for Guitar Praise(TM)

Hot Metal: Digital Praise(R) Debuts STRYPER Expansion Pack for Guitar Praise(TM)

Smokin' Compilation of 25 Tracks by Christian Rock's Top Heavy Metal Band Adds New Appeal to Digital Praise's Christian-Themed Guitar Controller Game

NEWARK, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Praise®, Inc, the leader in Christian-themed, family-friendly entertainment software and currently under pending merger agreement with Left Behind Games (BULLETIN BOARD: LFBG) , today unveiled the newest addition for its hugely popular Guitar Praise(TM) PC guitar controller game--the Guitar Praise STRYPER Expansion Pack. Packing 25 top Stryper tracks into one amazing compilation, the Guitar Praise STRYPER Expansion Pack gives players a fresh and inspiring new way to enjoy Guitar Praise.

The Guitar Praise STRYPER Expansion Pack celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Stryper, the definitive Christian hard rock band and the first to achieve crossover success in the mainstream music world. The band's trademark blend of melodic vocals, heavy guitar licks and pounding drums, which has matured since the band's debut in 1984 but lost none of its powerful appeal, has generated sales of more than 8 million albums worldwide.

One of the most mesmerizing stage acts still today, Stryper received tremendous exposure on television's MTV and VH1, paving the way for more faith-fueled bands to be considered for airplay. Stryper continues to record Billboard charting albums and will be touring worldwide once again in late summer/early fall of 2010.

"This exclusive expansion pack, the first and only game-based distribution of material from the Stryper collection, keeps Guitar Praise at the forefront of hard driving, mega-amped yet uplifting Christian gaming," said Tom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise. "Anyone who enjoys Guitar Praise will have a great time losing themselves in the lyrics, intensity and incredible rock-and-roll power of Stryper."

Highlights in the Guitar Praise STRYPER Expansion Pack from the band's various albums include:

-- Reborn--Open Your Eyes; Reborn, Wait For You; Live Again; I.G.W.T.
-- 7 Weeks: Live in America--To Hell With The Devil; Soldiers Under
Command; Lour 'n Clear; Sing Along Song; More Than A Man; Free; Caught
In The Middle
-- Murder By Pride--Mercy Over Blame; Love Is Why; Murder By Pride; 4
Leaf Clover; Eclipse For The Son; The Plan; I Believe; Everything

Since its introduction in 2008, Guitar Praise has vaulted to the head of the Christian gaming market, enabling players of all ages to rock out to tracks by the best bands in Contemporary Christian Rock. The game allows either one player to perform in solo mode, or two players to compete for the better lead guitar score. With a second guitar (sold separately), players can jam at the same time--both on lead guitar or one on lead and the other on bass.

Pricing and Availability

The Guitar Praise STRYPER Expansion Pack works with Guitar Praise (plus one or two wireless guitars). The pack is priced at $19.95 (pack requires Guitar Praise for operation and is not included).

Digital Praise's Guitar Praise STRYPER Expansion Pack is now available for purchase from leading Christian retailers, Amazon.com, or direct from Digital Praise. To order, go to www.guitarpraise.com.

More Starpower Added to 2010 CMA Music Festival

More Starpower Added to 2010 CMA Music Festival

Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Danny Gokey, Randy Houser, Justin Moore, Blake Shelton,and Josh Turner Also Added To Line Up

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Danny Gokey, Randy Houser, Justin Moore, Blake Shelton, and Josh Turner join the star-packed artist lineup for the Nightly Concerts at LP Field during 2010 CMA Music Festival and Fan Fair®, which will be held Thursday through Sunday, June 10-13 in Nashville, Tenn.

Previously announced performers include Jason Aldean, Billy Currington, Alan Jackson, Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Kellie Pickler, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Zac Brown Band. All of the announced artists will perform during the Nightly Concerts at LP Field.

A long-time supporter of the event, Adkins will be making his 10th consecutive appearance as a part of the Nightly Concerts appearing every year since the event moved to Downtown Nashville in 2001. Adkins has received five CMA Award nominations including two in 2009 for Single and Music Video of the Year, both for "You're Gonna Miss This."

Both Corbin and "American Idol" season eight finalist Gokey have made strong impressions on Country Music fans this year, and they will soon become a part of the CMA Music Festival legacy when they make their debuts at the 2010 event.

While Houser will make his third appearance at CMA Music Festival, this year will mark his debut as a part of the Nightly Concerts at LP Field. He performed on the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage in 2008 and 2009. Houser also received two 2009 CMA Award nominations for New Artist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for "Boots On."

Moore last performed during the 2008 CMA Music Festival on the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage, but he didn't miss out on last year's event. The singer welcomed fans during "The Fifth Annual CMA Music Festival Kick-Off Parade," and he spent one-on-one time with his fans in the Fan Fair® Exhibit Hall. This year Moore returns to performing for Festival goers in a big way with his debut on the Nightly Concerts at LP Field.

Shelton, a two time CMA Award nominee, has appeared six times at the Festival since his debut in 2001 and will make his return to the Nightly Concerts at LP Field after a three year absence.

Making his fifth consecutive appearance on the Nightly Concerts at LP Field, Turner made his debut on the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage in 2004 and has since garnered five CMA Award nominations.

Now in its 39th year, CMA Music Festival began as Fan Fair in 1972 as a unique celebration of the relationship between Country Music artists and their fans in the heart of Music City USA. More than 2,000 Country acts, from the legends and superstars to today's rising hit makers and hopefuls, have lent their time and talent to the event over the decades.

The artists participate for free, and in appreciation, CMA donates half the net proceeds of the Festival to support music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools through the Keep the Music Playing program. To date, $3.3 million has been donated to purchase musical instruments and supplies, providing thousands of Metro Nashville Public Schools students with the resources and opportunities they could not have afforded on their own, and giving many of them a strong reason to remain in school.

Nashville's signature music event features concerts, autograph signings, family activities, and more. This unparalleled celebration of America's music draws thousands of fans and media from all corners of the globe to Nashville. CMA Music Festival was dubbed the "crown jewel of Country Music festivals" by USA Today and winner of the International Entertainment Buyers Association's 2004, 2006, and 2008 LIVE! Award for Festival of the Year.

CMAfest.com, the official website of CMA Music Festival, has been updated for 2010. In addition to up-to-the-minute information about tickets, schedules, and artist appearances, there are new features to enhance interactivity on the site including CMA's venture into the blogging world.

69th Annual Peabody Awards Winners Announced

69th Annual Peabody Awards Winners Announced

ATHENS, Ga., March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thirty-six recipients of the 69h Annual Peabody Awards were announced today by the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The winners, chosen by the Peabody board as the best in electronic media for 2009, were named in a ceremony in the Peabody Gallery on the University of Georgia Campus.

The latest Peabody winners reflect great diversity in genre, sources of origination and content. The recipients included "Modern Family," ABC's droll, perceptive comedy about a multicultural extended family; HBO's "Thrilla in Manila," a documentary that probes the hype, mythology and meaning of the politically charged Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fights in the early 1970s; and "The Great Textbook War," a fair, balanced radio documentary from West Virginia Public Broadcasting about a 1974 skirmish that presaged "cultural wars" still raging in America. "Jerome Robbins -- Something to Dance About," a richly insightful portrait of the director-choreographer from Thirteen/WNET's "American Masters," received a Peabody Award, as did the Desmond Tutu installment of CBS's consistently surprising "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," a talk show without borders.

Peabodys went to "Sichuan Earthquake: One Year On," a thorough assessment of the damage, grief and anger in the quake ravaged Chinese province by Hong Kong's Now-TV News, and "A Hidden America: Children of the Mountains," ABC News' illumination of the abiding poverty of our most forgotten region, Central Appalachia. Peabodys also were awarded to "The Madoff Affair," a comprehensive examination by WGBH's "FRONTLINE" of the Ponzi scheme that cost investors $65 billion, and "Hard Times," Oregon Public Broadcasting's smart, compassionate radio coverage of the impact of the financial crisis on ordinary folks.

Other entertainment programming recognized by the Peabody Board included "Glee," Fox's invigorating musical dramedy about the diverse members of a high-school choral club; "In Treatment," HBO's mesmerizing therapy-session drama; "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency," HBO's charming series about a female private eye in Botswana; and "Endgame," a PBS/Masterpiece film about secret negotiations that facilitated the end of apartheid in South Africa. A Peabody also went to "The Day That Lehman Died," a riveting radio docudrama from the BBC World Service that reconstructed the frantic negotiations that preceded the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy filing that shook the financial world.

In the realm of arts and culture, Peabodys were awarded to "Noodle Road," a visually scrumptious survey of the Asian culinary staple by South Korea's KBS 1TV; PBS' "Inventing LA: The Chandlers and Their Times," a portrait of a family newspaper dynasty that pursued civic goals and personal agendas with equal zeal; and two "Independent Lens" documentaries: "The Order of Myths," a look at race relations through the prism of the Mardi Gras of Mobile, Ala., and "Between the Folds," an exhilarating, awe-inspiring study of the art of origami and paper folding.

A Personal Peabody was awarded to Diane Rehm, whose eponymously titled show on Washington, D.C.'s WAMU-FM and National Public Radio epitomizes vigorous, courteous political discourse. Peabodys also went to "BBC World News America: Unique Broadcast, Unique Perspective," a model "world" newscast crafted for U.S. cable subscribers by BBC America; National Public Radio's topically boundless web counterpart, npr.org; and SesameStreet.org, the celebrated children's television series' cheery, interactively educational web site.

"Every year the Peabody Board faces the daunting task of selecting examples of the most outstanding work in electronic media," said Horace Newcomb, Director of the Peabody Awards. "Our work is made more difficult because every entry is selected by a producer, a studio, a network or cable channel as their best work of the previous year. We begin at the top and have to go even higher."

The Peabody Board recognized the meritorious efforts of several local news organizations. Awards went to "Under Fire: Discrimination and Corruption in the Texas National Guard," a startling investigative series by Houston's KHOU-TV that led to the firing of three Texas Guard generals; "Derrion Albert Beating," a series of reports by Chicago's WFLD-TV about the sidewalk murder of an honor student that had national repercussions; and "BART Shooting," a series of reports in which KTVU-TV in Oakland, Calif., doggedly pursued the facts of a deadly, train-station confrontation.

In the Peabody-honored "Up in Smoke," Los Angeles' KCET-TV explored the state's cannabis culture and found, among other surprises, that medicinal marijuana clinics, thanks to an inadvertent regulatory loophole, outnumbered Starbucks shops in the city. In "Chronicle: The Gift," WYFF 4 in Greenville, S.C., made a man's tragic, accidental death the impetus of a public-service campaign on behalf of organ donation, showcasing the stories of the recipients his generosity saved.

Other radio winners included "Mind the Gap: Why Good Schools Are Failing Black Students," a documentary in which independent producer Nancy Solomon focused on a suburban New Jersey high school, asking difficult questions of teachers and students alike, and "Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson: Covering Afghanistan," a collection of uniquely insightful reports about everyday life as well as the ongoing warfare by the chief of National Public Radio's Afghan bureau.

"To those who say all media content is the same, or presented from a single perspective, we offer this great range of material as a response," said Newcomb. "Our selections demonstrate that great work available in 2009 varied widely and appealed to viewers and listeners with very different tastes interests, and concerns."

CBS News' "60 Minutes" added another pair of Peabodys to its collection: "Sabotaging the System" looked at the clear and present danger of cyber attacks from Russia and China on our computer-dependent infrastructure and what we are doing to thwart them. Even as airwaves and town halls were buzzing with talk of health-care "death panels," "The Cost of Dying" took a courageous, objective look at the actual monetary cost of end-of-life care. A Peabody also went to "Where Giving Life Is a Death Sentence," a BBC America news report by Lyse Doucet about a remote Afghan province that has the world's worst recorded rate of maternal mortality.

The notable documentaries honored also included "Iran and the West," BBC2's comprehensive, three-hour explanation, complete with exclusive new interviews with key leaders, of how the current nuclear impasse evolved, and "The OxyContin Express," a shocking documentation by Current TV of the extent of prescription-drug abuse in America. "Brick City," a gritty documentary series shown on Sundance Channel, paints an unvarnished picture of life, politics and hopes for revival in gang-banged and impoverished Newark, N.J. "I-Witness: Ambulansiyang de Paa," from the Philippines' GMA Network Inc., memorably chronicled how residents of a poor, remote town can only get their sick and injured to medical care using the "ambulance on foot," woven hammocks that they carry over dangerous terrain.

The Peabody Awards, the oldest honor in electronic media, do not recognize categories nor are there a set number of awards given each year. Today the Peabody recognizes distinguished achievement and meritorious public service by TV and radio stations, networks, cablecasters, Webcasters, producing organizations and individuals.

The Peabody Board is a 16-member group, comprised of television critics, broadcast and cable industry executives, academics and experts in culture and the arts. They make their annual selections with input from special screening committees of UGA faculty, students and staff.

All entries become a permanent part of the Peabody Archive in the University of Georgia Libraries. The collection is one of the nation's oldest, largest and most respected moving-image archives. For more information about the Peabody Archive or the Peabody Awards, visit www.peabody.uga.edu.

NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- It is official: Justin Bieber rules the charts this week. One week after the release of his sophomore album, MY WORLD 2.0, Bieber now owns the #1 album on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

"Justin is nothing short of a phenomenon," says "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

Justin has captured the hearts and imaginations of his huge legion of fans in a way I've rarely if ever seen.

MY WORLD 2.0, a new album of 10 all-new songs, is the follow-up to Justin's debut album, My World, released in November. My World, which earned RIAA platinum status in just a few short weeks, contained Justin's first four Top 40 hits on the Hot 100: "One Time" (certified RIAA platinum), "One Less Lonely Girl," "Love Me," and "Favorite Girl." Justin is the first solo artist in history to send four songs from a debut album into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the album's release.

Born in Stratford, Ontario, Justin Bieber is a multi-talented singer, and a self-taught musician on drums, guitar, piano, and trumpet. To date, he has surpassed 150 million YouTube.com views (the first 50 million of them as an amateur starting in 2007, posting renditions of his favorite hip-hop and R&B songs). Also in 2007, his manager Scooter Braun introduced Justin to the music industry in Atlanta. There he met multi-platinum superstar Usher, who signed the 13 year-old to his first professional deal and formed the RBMG joint-venture label with Braun and Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

John Mayer's 'Battle Studies World Tour' Extends to Summer

John Mayer's 'Battle Studies World Tour' Extends to Summer

SPECIAL GUESTS TO INCLUDE TRAIN, OWL CITY & THE AVETT BROTHERS Hometown Show In Hartford, CT On Sale 4/16; Majority of Markets On Sale 4/17 at LiveNation.com

NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- John Mayer's fourth album, Battle Studies, debuted at #1 in November 2009 and launched a world tour that has sold out arenas across the country and earned the musician some of the best performance reviews of his career. Summer dates for The Battle Studies World Tour, produced by Live Nation, have now been announced to kick off on July 16th in Charlotte, North Carolina. Special guests will include Train, The Avett Brothers and Owl City. Tickets for Mayer's hometown of Hartford, CT will go on sale on April 16, while dates in select markets go on sale beginning April 17th at LiveNation.com.

Citi® cardmembers will also have access to presale tickets beginning Wednesday, April 14th at 10am local time through Citi's Private Pass® Program. For complete presale details visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

Since kicking off in February, the Battle Studies World Tour has repeatedly ranked among the Top Five on Billboard Magazine's weekly Hot Tour list. Mayer's current single, "Heartbreak Warfare" is his seventh Top Five radio hit, with the song reaching over 385 million people in the past three months. He has also earned a steady stream of performance accolades:

Mr. Mayer is an astonishing blues guitarist, both in his technical
gifts and in his ability to make those gifts appear accessible. -
New York Times

"It was an impressive display of his sharp guitar playing,
appealing sing-alongs and personable wit, and the audience
responded generously." - RollingStone.com

"...for two hours, he thrilled fans with high-energy vocals, superb
and innovative guitar playing, and light-hearted banter." - The
Oklahoman

"He certainly has the scary-good guitar chops to try anything,
whether it's the smooth and effortless, funky vibe of 'Vultures'
or the edgy rock build-up of 'Assassin' or the smoky blues-bar
interlude on his cover of 'Ain't No Sunshine.'" - Grand Rapids
Press

"Mayer was in good spirits, seemingly self-possessed by the music,
grooving to his own guitar playing, enjoying the sound of his
fellow musicians and singing like the words mattered to him." -
Minneapolis Star Tribune

"... there's no question that the guy can play guitar. It's not for
nothing that such revered ax men as B.B. King and Eric Clapton
have given Mayer their imprimatur." -Philadelphia Inquirer

"Performing for more than 12,000 fans with a killer seven-piece
band, Mayer has surely grown into his stage persona. He's equal
parts quirky and smooth, earnest and confident. And he has a
hearty body of work to draw from." - Dallas Morning News

Battle Studies was released in November 2009 on Columbia Records and debuted at #1. It is his fourth studio album from the seven-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter/guitar player/producer and incorporates the warmth, melodies and simplicity of 70's and 80's California rock and pop. Battle Studies is a confessional, relaxed and liberated album recorded in a private home in California where Mayer lived and worked over the course of six months before wrapping at the famed Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. The album was co-produced by John Mayer and Steve Jordan.

ABOUT JOHN MAYER - The consistency with which John Mayer combines word craft and melody has earned him rarefied status in popular culture as a respected songwriter and musician. Since his acclaimed debut in 2001 with Room For Squares, each release has earned John Mayer additional accolades. Through 2003's Heavier Things, his work with John Mayer Trio in 2005, CONTINUUM's 2006 release and now Battle Studies, John Mayer has established himself as a musician and collaborator who exceeds genre boundaries. The guitarist, vocalist and songwriter has earned seven Grammy Awards and sold nearly 12.5 million albums worldwide.

In May 2007, Time Magazine placed John Mayer on their Time 100 list of the most influential contemporary thinkers, leaders, artists and entertainers. For two consecutive years, Rolling Stone Magazine featured John Mayer on the cover of their annual "Guitar" issue - first with February 2007's "The New Guitar Gods" round-up and then in May 2008's "Living Guitar Legends" issue featuring Mayer with peers and icons alike.

Pairings with a range of artists are a defining trait of the musician whose collaborative streak is well-known. From rock to blues, hip-hop to jazz to country, Mayer has performed and/or recorded with Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Burnett, Herbie Hancock, Dixie Chicks, Jay Z, Alicia Keys and Taylor Swift. In 2005, Mayer famously toured and recorded with power players Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan as John Mayer Trio, whose live album TRY! featured searing blues and rock. As on Continuum, John Mayer again took the helm as the co-producer of Battle Studies, his fourth studio album, released on November 17, 2009 and debuted at #1.

ABOUT TRAIN - Grammy Award-winning band Train is rolling back into the music scene with the recent release of their new Columbia Records' album, Save Me, San Francisco. Their current hit single, "Hey, Soul Sister," has reached #1 on the overall iTunes chart, has been certified RIAA Double Platinum (selling more than 2 million copies), and soared up the Billboard charts, peaking at #6 on the HOT 100 chart and #1 on the Adult Top 40 Chart. Save Me, San Francisco is the multi-platinum-selling band's fifth studio album and channels Train's early days, revisiting the roots rock sound that has made the band such a tour de force. USA Today raves that Save Me, San Francisco finds the band, "returning to its mid-'90s roots, when its hook-laden country-tinged tunes hit adult-contemporary audiences in their sweet spot."

ABOUT OWL CITY - Owl City has become an international phenomenon over the past year with the release of his now platinum album Ocean Eyes (Universal Republic July 2009), #1 single "Fireflies" (now triple platinum) and several sold out headlining tours of the US, Europe, UK and Asia. Adam Young started his career as Owl City in June of 2007 when he began making music in the basement of his parent's house in Owatonna, Minnesota - a small town with roughly twenty-two thousand inhabitants. Nearly three years later, thanks to more than 18 million profile views and more then 90 million plays on MySpace, this young man has become more than just an internet sensation. "Fireflies" is now an international hit having made it to the #1 spot in 22 countries and Owl City's latest single "Vanilla Twilight" seems to be on the same trajectory - having already gone gold and climbing the charts world wide. In addition, he's won the critics over with features out now in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, People, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today, among many others.

ABOUT THE AVETT BROTHERS - There is no harmony like brotherly harmony. Something indelible in the weave of voices and play of sensibilities is stamped into the fraternal DNA and also stems from a lifetime of shared experiences. You can clearly hear fraternal magic at work in the songs of Scott and Seth Avett, better known as the Avett Brothers, as well. That magic is abundantly evident on I and Love and You, the Avett Brothers' big-label debut. Its 13 songs are delivered in a style that defies pigeonholing but might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop - even a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there. Drawn by the naked honesty of their songs and the rousing intensity of their live shows, legendary producer and talent scout Rick Rubin signed the Avett Brothers - consisting of siblings Scott and Seth, plus bassist Bob Crawford - to his American Recordings label in 2008.

In harnessing the tools available to them in the service of the strongest set of songs they've written so far, the Avett Brothers have surpassed themselves on I and Love and You. There's really no great secret or magic formula for what they've achieved here. It comes down to honoring inspiration with an awful lot of hard work. "The brothers have an incredibly strong work ethic," affirms Rick Rubin, "and they continually worked at honing their craft. Hearing brothers who have sung their whole lives together - singing the truth - was a revelation each new day."

19 Entertainment Responds to Call From Viewers of 'American Idol' to Bring Back Alex Lambert

19 Entertainment Responds to Call From Viewers of 'American Idol' to Bring Back Alex Lambert

In Response to Massive Outpouring of Fan Support, 'If I Can Dream' Producers Offer Alex a Second Chance at Making His Dreams Come True on 'If I Can Dream,' New Talent Discovery Platform from creators of 'American Idol' Hopefuls From Around the World Urged to Submit Auditions Exclusively through MySpace to Win Trips to Hollywood for the 'Weekend Dream Experience' & a Shot at Stardom by Potentially Moving into the House

LOS ANGELES, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- American Idol contestant and fan favorite, Alex Lambert charmed millions of viewers with his electrifying soulful voice and humble demeanor on season 9 of American Idol. A viewer named Jessica Bongiorno created an online petition that attracted 20,000 signatures to date calling for Lambert's reinstatement which impressed producers at 19 Entertainment who decided to give the 19-year-old Texan a second chance to fulfill his dream of becoming a music artist by inviting him to participate in If I Can Dream, a new talent discovery platform created by Simon Fuller. To follow in the footsteps of Alex Lambert, aspiring artists and hopefuls from around the world are urged to submit their audition videos exclusively on MySpace by April 16th for the opportunity to be chosen to visit the "Dream" house and to prove that they have what it takes to "make it" in Hollywood and potentially to become the next artist to move in.

America can watch on a live stream www.hulu.com / www.ificandream.com as Alex takes his first step into his new home on Thursday, April 1st at 5PM PST/8PM EST for his move-in day. Moving to Hollywood and into the If I Can Dream house will give Alex the ultimate second shot at fulfilling his dreams. He will meet with top music managers and record labels and have the opportunity to perform in front of live audiences at clubs and venues in LA. His fans will be able to follow his every move and will be able to give Alex real-time feedback as he writes and tests out new songs on If I Can Dream.

Tune into Hulu every Tuesday morning (shortly after midnight PST) for new episodes of If I Can Dream and go to ificandream.com (http://www.ificandream.com/) watch the 24/7 live stream.

Living proof of the democratization of Hollywood represented by If I Can Dream, Alex is no stranger to the challenges inherent with trying to "make it." Born into a large family of 6 brothers who struggled to make ends meet growing up in a one-bedroom apartment, Alex prepares to experience a stark contrast as he moves into a palatial house in the Hollywood Hills where everything he has dreamed of is all within his reach. Born into a musical family (both of Lambert's grandfathers, as well as his father, are guitarists), Lambert taught himself to play guitar at age eight and recently began singing and writing songs. He cites blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughan as one of his main inspirations, though he describes his own music as more eclectic. "As long as a song has a good melody, meaningful lyrics, and a dynamic performance, it doesn't matter what genre it is," Lambert says. "I listen to everything, and I want people who like all different styles of music to enjoy what I do."

The MySpace audition process for If I Can Dream is designed to help find the "best of the best" new and undiscovered talent. Auditions submitted at www.myspace.com/ificandream are being voted on by the MySpace community and reviewed by 19 Entertainment, which will soon select the next aspiring "Dream" artist and groom them for success in Hollywood. One lucky aspiring artist will win the opportunity of a lifetime to visit the "Dream" house during the weekend of May 1st as part of the "Weekend Dream Experience." They will have the chance to prove that they have what it takes to be considered to become a future resident -- with the opportunity to join current artists Amanda Phillips, Ben Elliott, Kara Killmer, Giglianne Braga, Justin Gaston and new roommate Alex Lambert. The winner will receive insider access to Hollywood and will have the opportunity to meet with celebrity mentors, acting and vocal coaches, shoot with renowned photographers and attend red carpet events. The "Weekend Dream Experience" will kick off on May 1st and will continue periodically over the coming months giving a number of hopefuls the opportunity to come to Hollywood and follow their dreams.

Kia Soul Commercial Named Automotive TV Ad of the Year

Kia Soul Commercial Named Automotive TV Ad of the Year

Music-Loving Hamsters Showcased Kia's New Five-Door Hatchback as 'A New Way To Roll' -- Spot featured four different and downloadable music tracks -- Soul hamster campaign contributed to strong sales for Kia's affordable halo car

NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Already a recipient of numerous accolades including a "2010 Automotive Excellence Award" from Popular Mechanics and being recognized as the "Best Hatchback of 2010" by Cars.com, the new 2010 Kia Soul was honored yet again today at the Nielsen Automotive Advertising Awards event in conjunction with the New York International Auto Show when the TV commercial for the uniquely styled urban passenger vehicle was named "Automotive Ad of the Year."

Created by David&Goliath, the Soul spot depicts city and suburban streets inhabited exclusively by hamsters who are mindlessly running in place inside their exercise wheels until a molten red Kia Soul pulls up to a stoplight and the passenger window rolls down to reveal a trio of paw-tapping, music-loving hamsters who have discovered "A New Way to Roll."

Portraying Soul as a lounge on wheels with its highly specified audio system that includes speaker lights that pulse to the beat of the music, the hamsters bob their heads to four different music tracks that appear in slightly different versions of the spot to keep each viewing fresh. Viewers with a sharp eye can identify song and artist information on the hamsters' iPod screen, and the campaign extended online with each track available for download at www.kiasoul.com.

"The Soul was designed to stand out in a sea of sameness and that same philosophy guided the creative development of the hamster campaign and to position Soul as Kia's affordable halo vehicle," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing, Kia Motors America. "Soul was the first vehicle to emerge from Kia's design-led transformation, and the hamsters quickly became a viral success and grabbed the attention of young and young-at-heart buyers looking for something with a unique personality and turned Soul into an overnight sales success story for the brand."

The Nielsen Automotive Advertising Awards are based on results from Nielsen IAG's National Ad Effectiveness Study which employs an online panel of TV viewers who have watched programs within a natural viewing environment (as opposed to a clinical research environment) in the past 24 hours. Panelists answer survey questions about the programs they watched and the commercials they were exposed to. Finalists for the 2010 IAG Automotive Advertising Awards are determined based on ad performance results from commercials which were launched in calendar year 2009.

"Truly effective advertising starts with a great creative idea," said Nielsen Automotive President Lois Miller. "When you combine that idea with a memorable and unique hook that grabs viewers' attention, you are going to get the results that we saw from Kia this year."

Soul offers an immense amount of style and value on top of an extensive list of standard safety features sure to appeal to all consumers looking for a well-equipped vehicle suited to their personalities, including front seat active headrests, dual front advanced airbags, front seat-mounted and full-length side curtain airbags, an Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist System (BAS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Front and rear crumple zones, side-impact door beams, an impact-absorbing steering column and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system also come standard.

Available in four trims, Soul, Soul+, Soul! (exclaim) and Soul sport, the five-door hatchback offers an attractive starting price below $14,000(1) as well as unique and utilitarian style. Designed with the young and young-at-heart in mind, Soul presents an immense amount of style, value and function with a relatively small footprint and surprisingly spacious interior. Passengers will find comfort Soul's roomy cabin, usefulness from Soul's efficient cargo carrier with 14 storage zones and will benefit from numerous standard convenience features, including an AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system outfitted with SIRIUS® Satellite Radio capabilities (including a three month complimentary subscription)(2), and USB and auxiliary input jacks in the center console with full iPod®(3) and MP3 controllability via the audio head unit and steering wheel controls (achieved with an optional Kia accessory cable).

KMA has released three special edition Souls -- Denim, Ignition and Shadow Dragon -- based on the Soul+ trim, including Denim Soul, Ignition Soul and most recently Shadow Dragon Soul. Offering consumers even more ways to personalize the Soul, each special edition comes with its own unique exterior color and packaging.

Kaleidescape Delivers Online System Dashboards and Automatic Notifications

Kaleidescape Alerts Provide Early Notice Of Potential Problems

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaleidescape, Inc., the leader in movie servers, today announced the availability of online system dashboards for customer movie servers coupled with automatic email Kaleidescape Alerts that provide immediate notification to a customer's dealer when service is required. The new online dashboards provide a graphical depiction of the status of each component, making it easier to diagnose the cause of a problem and schedule preventative maintenance.

"With this expanded service offering, our customers can rest assured that their movie library, movie servers and other home entertainment components are safe," said Michael Malcolm, Kaleidescape Founder, Chairman and CEO. "Our dashboards and alerts offer a variety of diagnostic information to dealers about the Kaleidescape movie servers they install."

KEAOS 3.8, the current version of the Kaleidescape Entertainment Appliance Operating System, continually analyzes the temperatures of Kaleidescape components. If a component gets too hot or too cold, an email alert is automatically sent to the customer's dealer. Temperature alerts help dealers reduce the number of equipment failures and the risk of unplanned downtime for their clients. These tools also indirectly monitor the temperatures of surrounding environments, which can help protect other equipment.

"Kaleidescape has always been renowned for providing excellent product design, elegant user interfaces, and an unmatched movie-watching experience for our customers," said Arthur Mayo, President of S3 Entertainment in Park City, Utah. "With these new utilities, we can provide an extraordinary level of support to go along with it."

The online dashboards are available on the Kaleidescape Extranet. Dealers can use them to view current and historical component temperatures, remaining storage capacity, disk failures, Internet connection state, and KEAOS version.

Kaleidescape delivers KEAOS software updates automatically via the Internet, without the need for any dealer or user intervention. KEAOS 3.8 was delivered automatically to all dealer and customer movie servers worldwide effective March 8, 2010.
