Priyanka Chopra is Covergirl for NOTCH

CHENNAI, NEW YORK and LONDON, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



- The Actor Opens up About Moving From Movies to Music to Fulfill her Father's Dream
in the April Edition



- NOTCH Fan Base Nears the One Million Mark



NOTCH, India's first digital lifestyle entertainer, launches its seventh edition with
leading lady Priyanka Chopra. In an open and honest interview, the star spoke about why
she hates singing live - "I like to be prepared and I don't think I am so ready right
now"; and how her father's ailing health was a huge cause for concern. "I am only back
from his bedside to honour my professional commitments. I pray he gets better. I do love
him - he is the wind beneath my wings."

Priyanka also shows her protective side with advice for li'l sis Parineeti Chopra. "I
am sure Parineeti, who is a strong-willed girl with her heart in the right place, will
chart her own path in the unforgiving world of Bollywood. My only advice for her as an
older sis would be to be herself and not get overwhelmed by the glitz and glamour - that
way you can protect yourself from getting hurt," she says.



Magazine Highlights



Anupam Kher who's had a sterling year with the Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook
admits it was Robert De Niro who left him star-struck. "The first time I met Robert De
Niro in his trailer, I started to cry, which made him very uncomfortable. It's because I
come from a small town that I am not indifferent about life - that sense of wonderment is
still alive," he confesses to NOTCH.



Ashton Kutcher admits living Steve Jobs' life to get his performance pitch-perfect. "I
worked for months researching every aspect of Jobs' personality, even adopting his
'fruitarian' diet. The fruitarian diet can lead to like severe issues, and I went to the
hospital doubled over in pain. It was really terrifying," he says, talking about the
much-awaited biopic Jobs.



Kareena Kapoor has often gushed about Gstaad, and she shares details of her Alpine
getaways with NOTCH, giving readers a ringside view of the fondue-infused fun times that
she and Saif Ali Khan have. "It's the snow. It keeps my mind off everything else and
brings me a lot of peace," she explains.



NOTCH Exclusives



- Power dressing takes on a whole new dimension when you begin to understand the
refined tastes of the First Lady of politics, Sonia Gandhi. Sanya Dhir of KBSH tells us
how sarees of Soniaji's choice are sourced, woven and sent in 'secret' boxes to No.10
Janpath.



- Peep into the exclusive fund-raising concert where Sting performed at the behest of
Maharaja Gaj Singh of Jodhpur. Also read the fly-on-the-wall account of Steven Spielberg's
masterclass that left many B-town directors tongue-tied.

CTIA-The Wireless Association® Statement After the FCC Releases the Notice of Inquiry on Radio Frequency

WASHINGTON, March 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- After the FCC released its Notice of Inquiry (NOI) on Radio Frequency (RF), CTIA Vice President of Public Affairs John Walls issued the following:

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100629/DC28223LOGO-a )

"CTIA welcomes the FCC's focus on cellphones and health effects. In establishing RF emission requirements for wireless devices, the FCC has always been guided by science and the evidence produced by impartial health organizations and the scientific community.

"As the GAO stated in its July 2012 report, 'Scientific research to date has not demonstrated adverse human health effects of exposure to radio-frequency energy from mobile phone use, but research is ongoing that may increase understanding of any possible effects.' The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health have reached similar conclusions about the state of the science.

"As this review proceeds, it is important to recall the FCC's Director of Communications has said, 'We are confident that, as set, the [FCC's] emissions guidelines for devices pose no harm to consumers.'"

CTIA-The Wireless Association® (www.ctia.org) is an international organization representing the wireless communications industry. Membership in the association includes wireless carriers and their suppliers, as well as providers and manufacturers of wireless data services and products. CTIA advocates on behalf of its members at all levels of government.

UMaine Chancellor James Page Discusses Maine Educational Vision on TideSmart Talk with Stevoe

FALMOUTH, Maine, March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an interview today with TideSmart Talk with Stevoe, a weekly radio show that takes a macro approach towards society and culture, University of Maine System Chancellor James Page joined host and 2014 Maine gubernatorial candidate Steve Woods to discuss a vision for a more innovative, nimble and effective higher education system in Maine.

In an hour-long interview, Page and Woods discussed ways to streamline and improve Maine's higher education system. Reflecting on his first year as chancellor, Page talked about his goal of making education more accessible for Mainers. In January 2012, the University froze in-state tuition for the first time in 25 years.

"We have to find ways to make education more affordable for Maine residents," Page said.

Page, who is tasked with leading the repositioning of the UMaine system to meet 21st century higher education needs, also discussed his vision for attracting more students from out of state and the importance of building partnerships between universities and local business. Woods and Page also talked about Maine's challenges in attracting and maintaining young, innovative entrepreneurs.

"The University of Maine is a great sandbox for student innovation," Woods said. "We need to find ways to attract and keep these highly-educated students here so that they can then explore their ideas and launch business ventures that will have real economic benefit in our communities."

Also on the March 30 TideSmart Talk with Stevoe show, Woods was joined for an in-studio interview with Maine Center For Entrepreneurial Development Executive Director Don Gooding to further discuss ways to support economic growth throughout the state.

Since launching TideSmart Talk with Stevoe one year ago, Woods has hosted more than 100 high-profile guests including famed attorney F. Lee Bailey, mentalist The Amazing Kreskin, two-term Maine Governor John Baldacci, Shipyard Brewing Company President Fred Forsley, longtime Maine broadcast journalist Bill Green, Portland Sea Dogs Owner Bill Burke, Portland Mayor Michael Brennan, Former Chief of Staff to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and current University of Maine Athletic Director Steve Abbott, Maine Senate President Justin Alfond and former congressman Tom Allen.

William Shatner and the Alien Gorn Settle 40-Year Feud

William Shatner and the Alien Gorn Settle 40-Year Feud

The Former Rivals Showdown in Promo for Upcoming Release of STAR TREK ®: THE VIDEO GAME

Rematch of legendary 1967 TV battle between Shatner's Captain Kirk and lizard-like alien puts spotlight on STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME set for April 23 release

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- More than four decades after they first squared off on an isolated desert planet, William Shatner comes face-to-face again with the menacing Gorn species of STAR TREK fame to settle a longstanding feud... but this time the battle begins on a comfy sofa with the two former foes seated in front of a video screen as they fight again in promotion for the April 23 release of STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130329/LA85778-a)

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/19991206/PARLOGO)

The original Kirk-Gorn duel was seen in the classic 1967 "Arena" episode of the STAR TREK series. Millions of people have viewed the original on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SK0cUNMnMM.

In the promotional video released exclusively on Yahoo! Movies (http://movies.yahoo.com), Shatner and the Gorn are seen casually playing STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME when an onscreen dispute leads to a friendly fight re-enacting actual choreographed punches from the classic TV brawl blow-for-blow. This time, however, couch pillows replace the space rocks that were thrown the first time around.

"What better way to spotlight the adventure and fun everyone can have actually playing as Capt. Kirk in the new game, than to team up the legendary former captain himself to play one of his old foes," commented LeeAnne Stables, President of Consumer Products at Paramount Pictures, the studio releasing the game. "Mr. Shatner is such a great sport and that Gorn had absolutely no chance of coming out on top this time."

After spending a day on the set with the Gorn to create the video, veteran actor Shatner, who originated the role of Capt. Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series, added: "It never ceases to amaze me how many people still ask me about that scene. It's 46 years later, and he hasn't aged as well as I have."

The highly anticipated STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME features a vastly updated version of the Gorn as the key foe to legendary duo Kirk and Spock. Players take on the roles of Kirk and Spock, who work together to get to the heart of a mysterious attack by an enemy with unimaginable strength - a re-imagined version of the Gorn. In an entirely original story, written by BAFTA award winner Marianne Krawczyk, the Gorn is a terrifying threat, with an army that could overwhelm Kirk, Spock and the crew of the Enterprise.

The all-new video showdown between the two STAR TREK icons can also be found online at www.startrekgame.com starting March 29, and highlights the co-op play that is at the heart of STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME, which will be available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Pre-ordering is available now.

The promotional video was produced in-house at Paramount Pictures under the creative direction of Senior Vice President Brian Miller and shot on location in a ranch-style home in suburban Los Angeles. The original 1967 Kirk-Gorn fight can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SK0cUNMnMM courtesy of CBS Television.

STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME is under license by CBS Consumer Products and will be released April 23 in North America and April 26 worldwide by Paramount Pictures and NAMCO Bandai Games.

Werner Partners with CBS Sports Network for the NCAA® "Coaching Spotlight"

Werner Partners with CBS Sports Network for the NCAA® "Coaching Spotlight"

Werner's 75th Commemorative Ladder Featured on the TIM BRANDO SHOW Set

GREENVILLE, Pa., March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Werner Co., manufacturer of the official ladder of the NCAA(®) Men's Basketball Championship, will once again sponsor the "Coaching Spotlight" segment on CBS Sports Network's the TIM BRANDO SHOW as well as COURTSIDE WITH SETH DAVIS. The Coaching Spotlight highlights past and present coaches and provides a platform to discuss the teams striving to cut down the nets at the 2013 NCAA Men's Final Four(®) in Atlanta.

"We are proud to bring fans the 'Coaching Spotlight' again this year," said Chris Filardi, Vice President of Marketing at Werner Co. "Through our relationships with NCAA(® )and the National Association of Basketball Coaches we continue to be a part of an incredible experience that means so much to our audience and the coaches and athletes that work incredibly hard for this once-in-a-lifetime experience."

This year marks the 75(th) celebration of the Final Four(®), and to commemorate this special occasion Werner has created a custom 75(th) Championship Ladder that will be used exclusively during the net-cutting ceremonies after the NCAA Division I Men's Championship game. This unique ladder has been featured on the Tim Brando Show set throughout March Madness(®), and also will be showcased on the show's set in Atlanta during the Final Four(®). This ladder celebrates all of the schools that have won the tournament dating back to the University of Oregon in 1939.

The custom 9' Werner stepladders traditionally used during the tournament are made exclusively for the NCAA(® )for the post game net-cutting ceremonies and provide easy access to the net for the winning players and coaches. These ladders include an innovative HolsterTop(TM) featuring a built-in magnetic strip to secure the scissors used to cut down the nets in all of the regional games and the Men's and Women's Championships.

The history of the tournament net-cutting ceremony dates back to 1947 when North Carolina State head coach Everett Case was hoisted by his team to cut a piece of the winning net as a souvenir. The tradition continued and spread throughout the conferences. In 1965, after Case had been diagnosed with inoperable cancer and stepped down, the Wolfpack again won the ACC tournament. To honor its long-standing coach, the team rolled Case's wheelchair to the net and again hoisted him to take the spoils of victory. He died the following year, but the tradition has become an integral part of the game over the years.

To celebrate this special year in NCAA(® )history, Werner has launched the Rise Above the Rest Sweepstakes where one lucky winner will receive a 9' Championship Replica Ladder. For more information, including official rules, please visit http://riseabove.wernerladder.com.

ABOUT WERNER CO.

"Yung Rapunxel", The New Single And Accompanying Video From Azealia Banks' Upcoming Album, Broke With Expensive Taste To Be Released April 16



SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Azealia Banks is ready to give the world another glimpse into her upcoming debut full-length album. "Yung Rapunxel", the latest single and video from Azealia Banks, will be released on April 16. The song, produced by Lil Internet with an accompanying video shot by Jam Sutton, will be included on her upcoming Interscope Records album, Broke With Expensive Taste.

Azealia Banks burst onto the scene last year with her infectious single "212". The song, which has sold over 135,000 copies since its release, and the accompanying video, which has had over 47 million hits, immediately established Banks as a force to be reckoned with. An EP, titled 1991, whetted appetites for Broke With Expensive Taste, an album that Banks has been focused on writing and recording since the EPs release. Now, the woman who Pitchfork called "...not just a rising star but a boundary-busting symbol of hip-hop's ever-changing mores" gives everyone a taste of what's to come.

Throughout his career as a television star, celebrity stylist, author and fashion designer, Kressley has won fans for his roles in "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" as well as Lifetime's critically acclaimed show, "How to Look Good Naked," ABC's "True Beauty" from executive producers Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher, Oprah Winfrey's "Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star," and his current show on the Oprah Winfrey Network "Carson Nation," in which Kressley travels to small towns across the U.S., transforming lives one person at a time with humor and style.

Kressley also heated up the dance floor as a contestant on the 13th season of ABC's mega-hit "Dancing with the Stars" and is a New York Times best-selling author with three books to his credit, including "You're Different and That's Super," a children's book promoting diversity and tolerance.

"Carson Kressley is a tremendous friend to Philadelphia University," said President Stephen Spinelli Jr., Ph.D. "His energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and he has a real heart for encouraging students and young professionals to pursue their goals. He has been successful on many levels and serves as a role model for our students, who are taught to think and work across disciplines. We couldn't be more proud to have Carson as our Commencement speaker."

Kressley has a history of supporting PhilaU, visiting campus in March 2012 to encourage students in the fashion programs and participate in a student-led interview on his experiences in the industry. Kressley also introduced Spirit of Design Award recipient Tommy Hilfiger at the 2011 Philadelphia University Fashion Show and, in 2006, a PhilaU fashion design student was presented with the Carson Kressley Scholarship for outstanding design work.

"What an honor it is to receive this degree from Philadelphia University. I'm a big fan of their solid educational programs and entrepreneurial spirit," Kressley said. "Although I'm not an academic I certainly know my way around the fashion world and hope to inspire the graduating class by sharing my 'anything is possible' story."

In a separate ceremony, Robert Nydick '78 will give the graduate Commencement address and will be awarded the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters. Nydick, professor of management and operations at Villanova University and a Philadelphia University trustee, will speak from his years of experience teaching students how businesses make sound decisions.

Nydick, who taught at Philadelphia University for seven years, currently teaches undergraduate and MBA students at Villanova in areas of decision sciences, operations management and operations research. He has published his research in top journals.
