U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature for August 1





WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1: SPIDER-MAN AT 50

Profile America -- Wednesday, August 1st. Spider-Man continues to stay near the top of the heap in the superhero game, as his latest movie opened last month, this time in 3-D. And his Broadway musical, after a costly and controversial development phase, continues its run on the Great White Way. Actually, Spidey gets around pretty well for his age. It was 50 years ago today that "Amazing Fantasy Comics" appeared with the first story about Spider-Man. Bitten by a radioactive spider, teenager Peter Parker finds he has super powers and has to deal with the responsibilities that come with them. About 40 new shows open on Broadway each year, drawing audiences of more than 12 million. You can find more facts about America's people, places and economy from the American Community Survey at www.census.gov.

The video, which is titled "Richard Allen Homes: An Extended Urban Family," has a run time of 45 minutes and discusses the origins and the social and economic climate at the development, over a 71-year period. It provides a rare opportunity for those who have never lived in public housing to gain a perspective on what life was like in the housing projects, over the past seven decades.

The day-long event will also feature free food for all guests, college scholarships and U.S. savings bonds awards, a presentation ceremony for the never-before-seen video, and a community award presentation.

At 4:00 pm, the organization will award 18 kindergarten-through-eighth-grade students, a boy and a girl from each class, with U.S. Savings Bonds. The K-through-seventh-grade students will each receive a $50 bond, while the two eighth-grade students will each receive a $100 bond.

In addition, two college-bound students, Ryan Barksdale-White, and Baseeman C. Tolbert-Hassan will receive a $500 scholarship, each, to assist them in purchasing school supplies and books, for the upcoming school year. Barksdale-White, who graduated from Northeast High School, will attend nearby Neumann College. Hassan, who attended Philadelphia Electronics & Technology Charter School, will attend the Pennsylvania College of Technology.

The Original Richard Allen Committee, Inc. was founded 23 years ago by a small group of former residents of the housing development, which is located between 9th and 12th Streets, from Fairmount Avenue to Poplar Street, in North Central Philadelphia.

TBN Co-Sponsors Birmingham's Back-to-School R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Rally

TBN Co-Sponsors Birmingham's Back-to-School R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Rally





BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Trinity Broadcasting Network, America's most watched and requested faith channel, announced that it will be a co-sponsor of the 17(th) annual back-to-school R.E.S.P.E.C.T. rally for students and their families, August 4th from 3 to 8 p.m., at More than Conquerors Faith Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Several rap and contemporary Christian artists who are regulars on TBN's Smile of a Child and JCTV youth networks will be on hand, and TBN will also provide 3,000 book bags to distribute to students who attend the event.

The Rev. Steve Green, pastor of More than Conquerors Faith Church, launched the annual R.E.S.P.E.C.T. rally in 1994 to help young people embrace the importance of treating others -- and themselves -- with respect. "We were seeing so much violence, vandalism, and disrespectful language and behavior among the kids in our neighborhoods that we knew something had to be done," Pastor Green recalled. "God dropped into my spirit the idea of kicking off the school year with an event that would reinforce to our kids that they need to place the same value on themselves and others that God does."

The acronym R.E.S.P.E.C.T. stands for "Respect Every Single Person Ever Created Today," and Pastor Green explained that as in the past, this year's focus will be on inspiring Birmingham's youth to step up to a new level in their attitudes and behavior towards themselves, their peers, and those in positions of authority. He said that since the beginning both local and national corporate sponsors have stepped forward to help make the event a success.

"This year we are blessed to welcome TBN as one of our R.E.S.P.E.C.T. co-sponsors," he said. "Many of these students and their families are regular viewers of TBN, JCTV, and Smile of a Child, so to have some of the rap and music artists these kids see on TV actually come and be a part will be a real treat."

Among the JCTV and Smile of a Child regulars scheduled for the event will be Grammy nominated and Dove Award winning rap artist T-Bone, host of JCTV's Real Videos and TX10; popular Christian rap artists The Ambassador and Mr. Del; contemporary Christian recording artists Morgan Harper Nichols and Beckah Shae; and noted youth speaker and spoken word artist Katy Coffman. In addition to supplying 3,000 book bags for students, TBN will also provide full television coverage of the event.

Matt Crouch, TBN's Vice President for Administration, said that community involvement has always been a part of TBN's outreach. "We're thankful for the opportunity to partner with More Than Conquerors and the city of Birmingham in this vital event," he said. "Our prayer is that each child and family who attend will be impacted in a lasting, life-changing way."

GLENDALE, Calif., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (NASDAQ: DWA) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012. For the quarter, the Company reported total revenue of $162.8 million and net income of $12.8 million, or $0.15 per share on a fully diluted basis.

"DreamWorks Animation's second quarter of 2012 was driven primarily by the box office performance of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, the seventh highest-grossing film of the year," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chief Executive Officer of DreamWorks Animation. "The third and biggest film in our blockbuster Madagascar franchise has surpassed $500 million at the worldwide box office to date, with a large number of key international territories yet to come."

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted contributed approximately $54.8 million of revenue to the quarter, driven primarily by its performance at the worldwide box office. The film was released on June 8, 2012 and has grossed approximately $210 million at the domestic box office and $293 million at the international box office to date.

Puss In Boots contributed $22.8 million of revenue to the quarter, driven primarily by home entertainment. The film reached an estimated 5.2 million home entertainment units sold worldwide through the end of the second quarter, net of actual and estimated future returns.

Kung Fu Panda 2 contributed $46.4 million of revenue to the quarter, driven primarily by domestic pay television. The film reached an estimated 5.7 million home entertainment units sold worldwide through the end of the second quarter, net of actual and estimated future returns.

Megamind contributed $1.4 million of revenue to the quarter, driven primarily by home entertainment. The film reached an estimated 5.5 million home entertainment units sold worldwide through the end of the second quarter, net of actual and estimated future returns.

Library, which now includes Shrek Forever After, contributed approximately $27.4 million of revenue to the quarter. All Other items, including non-feature film businesses, contributed $10.0 million of revenue to the quarter, of which Shrek The Musical in London was the single largest contributor.

Costs of revenue for the quarter equaled $114.2 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $30.8 million, including approximately $5.2 million of stock-based compensation expense.

The Company's income tax expense for the second quarter was $5.9 million. Its combined effective tax rate - the actual tax rate coupled with the effect of the Company's tax sharing agreement with a former stockholder - was approximately 30% for the second quarter.

DreamWorks Animation's third quarter results are expected to be driven primarily by the continued theatrical performance of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. Television revenue for Puss In Boots is also expected to contribute to the Company's third quarter results.

Gaelic Storm Steps Into The Ring With New Album Chicken Boxer

Gaelic Storm Steps Into The Ring With New Album Chicken Boxer

NEW YORK, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 31st, Gaelic Storm steps back into the ring with the release of their new album, Chicken Boxer, a heavyweight record that comes out swinging with a mix of empowering anthems and traditional ballads. The album is the fifth to be released on the band's own label, Lost Again Records, Inc. and the group's ninth album overall.

Get Chicken Boxer here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/chicken-boxer/id536043939

Through years of high-energy performances and consistently strong record sales, Gaelic Storm has earned a reputation as one of the world-music scene's preeminent Celtic bands. With catalog sales of more than 1 million, the group's previous two albums 2008's What's the Rumpus? and 2010's Cabbage, both debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard and iTunes World Album Charts. The latter held the top Billboard slot for three consecutive weeks.

"This is our ninth album and every one seems to be better than the last," band member Patrick Murphy says. "I think this record will take us to another level. It's another step in the journey."

Although Gaelic Storm frontman Patrick Murphy and guitarist/vocalist Steve Twigger now live in the US, the pair returned to Ireland, traveling the coastline in search of inspiration for the songs on Chicken Boxer. "That was a really important trip to us," remarks Twigger. "The idea of home is all over Chicken Boxer. Whether home is where you were born or where you make your living, that theme runs throughout the album."

"If you see our show, we have fast singing-and-clapping songs. We have ballads. We have instrumentals. We tell stories. A variety of things can happen," says Steve Twigger. "And that all comes out on this album."

Gaelic Storm will take Chicken Boxer LIVE as they kick off their "Rag and Bone Tour" on July 27(th) at the Dayton Celtic Festival in Dayton, OH, playing over 50 shows throughout the US including headlining Milwaukee Irish Fest, New York's famous Bowery Ballroom, and The Troubadour in Los Angeles. In September, the band will headline their own self-promoted second annual one-day "Shamboozle Festival" in Asheville, NC. For a full tour schedule, please visit http://www.gaelicstorm.com/tourdates.html.

Distributed by MRI/Sony/RED and produced by Steve Twigger, with additional production by Ryan Lacey and Patrick Murphy, Chicken Boxer will be available everywhere July 31st, 2012 including iTunes, amazon.com and all other digital service providers. Physical copies will be available for purchase at select retail locations, live shows and at http://www.gaelicstorm.com/store.

The band will release the first music video from the album, for the track "Rag and Bone," in mid-August. The song recalls a happy memory from Twigger's childhood of the good-natured "rag-and-bone man" who would collect junk and scrap along the streets of his hometown, handing out candy to the kids. The video was shot in Austin, TX at the "Cathedral of Junk" by director Jim Wright (Pete Yorn, Dierks Bentley).

Gaelic Storm is represented by ROAR, a Beverly Hills-based talent and brand management company. Additional information about the band and their tour can be found at http://www.gaelicstorm.com/.

"With the conclusion of our financial reorganization, we turn the institution's full focus to what we are all passionate about--sharing the incredible artistry of The Philadelphia Orchestra with our Philadelphia audiences, especially as we welcome the electrifying Yannick Nezet-Seguin as music director in October. The Philadelphia Orchestra remains among the best in the world, bringing audiences to the edge of their seats, earning rave reviews and generating enthusiasm in this great city and as its ambassador abroad.

Elvis Presley: PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET, as Recorded Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, June 10, 1972

Elvis Presley: PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET, as Recorded Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, June 10, 1972

DELUXE 40th ANNIVERSARY EDITION 2-CD+DVD BOX SET PRESENTS HISTORIC AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONCERTS - NEWLY REMIXED - IN ONE PACKAGE FOR FIRST TIME

BONUS DVD: HAND-HELD FILM OF AFTERNOON SHOW, PLUS 20-MINUTE PRESS CONFERENCE

5,000-word liner notes essay by Lenny Kaye, historian and guitarist for Patti Smith

Available everywhere October 30, 2012, through RCA/Legacy

CONCERT FILM TO PREMIERE AUGUST 17th DURING ELVIS WEEK IN MEMPHIS

NEW YORK, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Of all the live concert recordings released by RCA during Elvis Presley's lifetime, none carried the historic significance of his long-awaited New York City shows at Madison Square Garden in June 1972. Now, a pair of hour-long performances have finally been coupled in one package for the first time as PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET: 40(th) ANNIVERSARY EDITION. This deluxe 2-CD+DVD box set will be available everywhere October 30(th) through RCA/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060130/LEGACYLOGO )

PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET takes its title from a New York Times headline that accompanied its rave review of the King of Rock 'n' Roll's four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden (80,000 tickets sold), the weekend of Friday through Sunday, June 9-11, 1972. CD two reprises the Saturday night show in its entirety, some 20 songs (plus introductions) originally issued on LP on June 18, 1972, just eight days after the concert took place. CD one reprises the (slightly longer) Saturday afternoon show, some 23 songs (plus introductions), archived and issued for the first time 25 years later in 1997, on CD.

The Madison Square Garden recordings have been newly mixed for the first time by respected New York engineer Michael Brauer.

Adding to the historic weight of PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET is an evocative 5,000-word essay written by Lenny Kaye, longtime guitarist for Patti Smith. Kaye actually covered the press conference and the concerts for his gig as music editor of Cavalier magazine in the '70s. In addition to his roles as a musician and a producer of numerous reissues and compilations, Kaye has been annotating albums for more than four decades.

Accompanying the two CDs is a bonus DVD that presents unseen footage of the Saturday afternoon show, captured on hand-held camera by a fan, and now acquired by Legacy from that fan decades later for this package. Rarely is unseen footage of Elvis in concert discovered, so this footage lends historical importance to the package. The film is a revealing portrait of a physically commanding Elvis and his power­house TCB Band, background vocalists, and orchestra.

The recently discovered footage is set to make its world premiere during Elvis Week in Memphis on Friday, August 17(th), at 4:30 p.m. at a free event in the Elvis Week Entertainment Pavilion.

Along with the concert film on the DVD is another video document, the press conference that took place on Friday afternoon before the big weekend. Attended by Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, Elvis disarms and wins over the New York press corps with his good-natured demeanor.

For example, when asked "Which kind of song do you like doing the best?" Elvis answers, "I like to mix 'em up. In other words, I like to do a song like 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' or 'American Trilogy,' or something. Then mix it up and do some rock and roll, some of the hard rock stuff. I'm not the least bit ashamed of 'Hound Dog' or 'Heartbreak Hotel'..."

A closer look at the concert repertoire confirms his answer. The set lists for the afternoon and evening shows are an eclectic mix, something for everyone. After the bombastic "Also Sprach Zarathustra" theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey, both shows are bookended at the start by "That's All Right" (from 1956), Creedence's "Proud Mary" (via Ike & Tina Turner), Hoyt Axton's "Never Been To Spain" (via Three Dog Night), and Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me." Both shows end with "Suspicious Minds," Kristofferson's "For The Good Times," Mickey Newbury's "American Trilogy," Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away," Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You" (via Ray Charles), and of course, "Can't Help Falling In Love."

The set lists are virtually identical, though four songs from the afternoon show were not performed at the evening show: Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Until It's Time For You To Go," "Blue Suede Shoes," Lowell Fulsom's "Reconsider Baby," and Don Ho's "I'll Remember You." And one song from the evening show was not performed at the afternoon show: Man Of La Mancha's "The Impossible Dream."

With those exceptions, the central portion of each show is very nearly the same something-for-everyone program, starting with the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie," then straight back to 1956-57 for "Love Me," "All Shook Up," "Heartbreak Hotel," the medley of "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" c/w "Don't Be Cruel," "Love Me Tender," and "Hound Dog."

After being roundly excoriated by New York critics after his televised visits of 1956 (on Jackie Gleason's Stage Show, in January, February and March), and 1957 (Ed Sullivan's Toast Of the Town in January; and The Steve Allen Show in July), Elvis and his manager Tom Parker did not schedule another New York performance for some 15 years. Even after Elvis triumphed on his black leather NBC-TV "comeback" special of December 1968, and returned to public concert touring fulltime in August 1969 (at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, chronicled in 2010 on RCA/Legacy's On Stage: Legacy Edition), they still waited three years to play New York.

When asked at the press conference why it took so long, Elvis answers with a straight face: "I think it was a matter of not getting the building, the proper building. We had to wait our turn in order to get the building. Couldn't get a good building in fifteen years. No, all kidding aside, we had to wait our turn to get in ... into the Garden, you know. I just hope we put on a good show for everybody. Oh, I like it. I enjoy it."

SocialToaster and SME Digital Provide the Missing Link to the Launch of O2 Media Inc.'s Organic Social TV Campaign for 'The Balancing Act' airing on Lifetime

SocialToaster and SME Digital Provide the Missing Link to the Launch of O2 Media Inc.'s Organic Social TV Campaign for 'The Balancing Act' airing on Lifetime

Leading brand entertainment production firm and social media luminaires design a Social TV Campaign that monetizes brand sponsorships, drives fan engagement and increases new viewership for dynamic morning talk show

BALTIMORE, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SocialToaster announced today that they have been chosen along with media partner, SME Digital, Social Media Explorer's digital marketing agency, to launch a new and innovative Social TV Campaign for 'The Balancing Act.' 'The Balancing Act,' is America's premier morning show, which airs weekday mornings at 7am (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television and is produced by O2 Media Inc.

O2 Media Inc., a full-service integrated media and production company, is a pioneer in the Branded Entertainment industry. Unlike other production firms, networks or agencies, O2 Media Inc. is providing their clients with branding insight and strategy all in one place, creating dynamic social conversations that allow them to engage with their audience and have the audience shape the direction of a show or development of a product. Kraft's new Baker's Chocolate product will be introduced and used in a cooking segment on August 2, 2012. O2 Media Inc. was looking for an effective way to engage the audience with Kraft's new product and provide an easy way for audience members to then bring this segment and the product into their own kitchens. To achieve this goal, O2 Media Inc. set out to create a Social TV Campaign for Lifetime's 'The Balancing Act' and Kraft's new Baker's Chocolate. The campaign was designed to drive audience engagement, allow viewers to determine the content of the show, incentivize fans to influence new supporters of the show, and increase social sharing. In addition, the campaign encourages interaction through Facebook, Twitter, and provides bloggers a way to monetize brand sponsorships.

SME Digital worked with O2 Media Inc. to develop a Social TV Campaign that would include a food blogger contest, where contestants with a strong following would be asked to submit a video of them making a recipe using Kraft's new Baker's Chocolate to win an opportunity for them to have their own segment on 'The Balancing Act.' The second contest involves viewers submitting their own recipes, including the story and history behind the recipe with a photo, to be voted on by the show's Facebook fans and Twitter followers for a variety of cash prizes. The 1(st) prize recipe winner will receive $1,000 and a summer cookout.

SME Digital chose SocialToaster as the platform to push out controlled messages and content around the contests to 'The Balancing Act's' Super Fans' as a result of the company's strong background in the area and track-record for results with a number of recognizable brands. SocialToaster amplifies corporate messaging on brands' social networking sites, proving that there is immense value in social media engagement. Loyal fans of a brand called 'Super Fans' are mobilized with an email whenever the brand has blog postings, events, articles, or promotions for them to promote. With just one click, Super Fans share the brand's content with peers across all of their selected social networking sites. The visibility of the message increases exponentially as the content is shared.

"Over the last few months, we've taken SocialToaster a step further and established a gamification element to the system," explained Brian Razzaque, CEO of SocialToaster. "We believe the incredible share rates that our clients have experienced are a result of the combination of the gaming elements of the software that ties rewarding to sharing and recruitment of new fans and the ease of use for our client's consumers. This will add tremendous value to O2 Media Inc. and 'The Balancing Act' in launching, promoting and assessing the Social TV Campaign."

"O2 Media Inc. is setting a new frontier for what an integrated media production company can bring to the table and sharing with networks and brands how to utilize social, TV and mobile to increase viewership, determine show content and provide more incentives for brand sponsorships," said Jamie Kennedy, Social Media Director at O2 Media Inc. "SME Digital's consultation was the strategic insight we needed to ensure the campaign was fully integrated and provided both brands and fans incentives. When we learned that brands were seeing an increase in anywhere from 60 to 74 percent of their content shared across the social networks of their fans every time it gets delivered through the SocialToaster, we knew that SocialToaster was the missing link to launching this campaign successfully."

"We are extremely excited to have been chosen by O2 Media Inc. as a strategic partner to assist in the development and launch of the campaign. We recommended SocialToaster as the software to help amplify the news around the contests and provide fan feedback and metrics to assist in meeting the goals we established for the campaign," commented Nichole Kelly, President of SME Digital.

New Super PAC FightBigotry.com Releasing the Most Hard-Hitting Attack Ad Against President Obama This Year

New Super PAC FightBigotry.com Releasing the Most Hard-Hitting Attack Ad Against President Obama This Year

WASHINGTON, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FightBigotry.com for the first time clearly connects the dots showing President Obama's disturbing pattern of tacitly defending black racism against whites before and since being elected president.

The public and press can view the ad at www.fightbigotry.com, Ozean Media will be handling our media buys.

The ad first points out that the Obama administration and surrogates Nancy Pelosi and Louise Lucas (not the Republicans) have injected race into the presidential campaign, with Obama Attorney General Eric Holder recently telling the New York Times -with no disagreement from President Obama--that some white voters who oppose Obama's policies are motivated by race. This statement is in and of it self racist; implying that whites are too stupid to have honest disagreements with the president without being racist.

Then the ad shows who the real racists are here:


-- In 2010, On the verge of convicting The New Black Panthers for voter
intimidation against whites (the judge had already entered a default
judgment against the Panthers), The Obama administration for no
legitimate reason dropped the charges; unless you consider Eric Holder's
racially-divisive remark referring to "his" people being legitimate).
Now in 2012, the Panthers, - apparently emboldened by Obama's
administration not prosecuting them - are calling for a race war and
spilling "white blood". Again no response from President Obama.
-- In 2009: President Obama's defended his friend Harvard professor Henry
Louis Gates after Mr. Gates' racist altercation with police. The
president said the police "acted stupidly" when it was Mr. Gates' racist
actions being 100% responsible for the altercation.
-- The cases of The New Black Panthers and Henry Louis Gates now let us see
the 2008 Jeremiah Wright controversy in much fuller context when Mr.
Obama refused to repudiate the racist Wright, but instead strongly
defended him.
-- Then we have racist words directly out of President Obama's own mouth,
describing his white grandmother's racism as that of a "typical white
person," And how her racial stereotypes made him "cringe"; but Jeremiah
Wright's racial venom never made him cringe?
-- The ad then closes with a clip of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream"
speech, pointing out that Dr. King would have been sickened by the likes
of The New Black Panthers, Henry Louis Gates, Jeremiah Wright and Eric
Holder; and finally points out that President Obama's tacit defense of
black racism continued despite his winning the presidency with nearly
half the white vote.
From Jeremiah Wright to the present, President Obama has received a free pass on this sensitive issue of race and this ad will finally hold the president accountable.

The ad is now on the internet to raise money and get feedback; approaching the big money SuperPac donors while at the same time appealing to the regular folks for smaller contributions. In 2008, then-Senator Obama raised over $200 million from small contributions and FightBigotry.com hopes to do the same.

8-Year-old Julian Pavone, Guinness World Record Holder, Signs Deal With Internationally Recognized Le PeTiT CiRqUe

8-Year-old Julian Pavone, Guinness World Record Holder, Signs Deal With Internationally Recognized Le PeTiT CiRqUe

CULVER CITY, Calif., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Julian Pavone, "The World's Youngest Drummer!"® and Guinness World Record Holder recently signed with the internationally recognized Le PeTiT CiRqUe. Le PeTiT CiRqUe is the only all-kid Humanitarian Cirque company in the world. It is composed of a troupe of kids ages 7-13 that are some of the top aerial artists/circus artists in the country as well as prodigies, World Champions and Guinness World record holders in music, karate, and skateboarding.

Everyone knows and loves Cirque du Soleil, yet Le PeTiT CiRqUe brings an element that Cirque du Soleil and adult circus companies cannot equal: child pro-level talent and prodigies using their gifts to entertain and heal. They have mesmerized numerous audiences worldwide and perform one of the most unique, innovative and INSPIRATIONAL shows today. Jamie Lee Curtis said, "Are you kidding me? These are CHILDREN!! This is the greatest thing I've ever seen!" Stewart Copeland, from The Police, said, "Le PeTiT CiRqUe provides something completely outside of the box, a vibrant circus that stokes the fires of creativity and enthusiasm."

Le PeTiT CiRqUe grew out of its renowned inspirational youth cirque school, Le Studio, and was founded/created by Nathalie Yves Gaulthier. Previously, Gaulthier was the owner and talent agent to Gaulthier Artists Inc. which has represented Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony award nominees. At age 14, Gaulthier founded talent agencies in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Beverly Hills. She attended college (McGill University) at age 15. She was raised as a minority in Nunavut (near Greenland) amongst Eskimo-Inuits and this allowed her to see the world from a very different perspective. Gaulthier is the show creator and director providing powerful stunning visuals that SENSITIZE, inspire and heal its audiences with messages that are highly thought-provoking and touching.

Julian Pavone is honored and excited to join Le PeTiT CiRqUe as a drumming prodigy. He is currently 8 years old and plays a 22-piece custom drum set with 17 cymbals. He began playing the drums while sitting on his father's lap at the age of three months. At 15 months old, he became a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers' drumline (The United Drumline, founded by William Winfield, III) making him the youngest member by 16 years! Then, at 20 months-old, Julian recorded a CD, "Go Baby!", with legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong.

Since then, he has received worldwide media coverage with more than 40,000 newspaper and magazine articles published about him. He has appeared on more than 200 television and news shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (twice), "Good Morning America", "The Maury Show", "Martha Stewart", "Inside Edition" (three times), "FOX News Dayside", "Good Company", WGN, MSNBC, Japan's #1 television show, "Amazing Stories" (twice), and on "Seriously Funny Kids", hosted by Heidi Klum.

Julian has performed live on numerous radio stations around the world and for many concert venues, including the legendary Whisky A Go-Go, the Grammy Museum, House of Blues and Hard Rock Cafe (the youngest ever to perform at these venues). He has also performed for the Detroit Pistons, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs.

He has received numerous honors and awards, including "Maury's Most Talented Kid" of 2009, "The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award", and at age 3, was one of "Oprah's Most Talented Kids". He also appears in "Sticks and Skins", a photography book about the world of drumming that is currently on display at the Smithsonian Institute. It includes legendary drummers like Buddy Rich, Ringo Starr, Neil Peart, and Stewart Copeland.

Julian also loves sharing his gift with others, especially if he can help his community. He is currently the youngest partner of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, joining celebrities such as Sir Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers. He will soon begin third grade at University Liggett School, a private, college-preparatory day school that is Michigan's oldest coeducational, independent school.
