 Houston, Texas, February 2013 — While it’s only been open a year, enrollment at The Sarah Kelly Music School, just north of Houston, is already near full capacity.
Owned by two-time Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Sarah Kelly, the school strives to bring in top names to meet with students at the school. Last month Chris Sampson, Dean of USC’s Thornton School of Music, came to visit. This Pac 12 school, which is known for its music, will be giving out partial scholarships. To help meet the demand, Sarah’s school recently started offering online classes; now she can literally reach out and help more young people interested in music as a profession.
What makes this school unique is that apart from learning to play instruments, students actually get to learn to write their own music. Regardless of experience, students are usually playing songs after just a few weeks of lessons and writing their own soon after. They also have a chance at being accepted into the school’s Artist Development Classes that focus on production, vocal training and song writing, giving them access to a studio where their songs are recorded by a professional producer.

 Chicago, Illinois, January 2013— In 1885, Claire Cretors’ great grandfather invented a machine that forever changed snacking: The commercial popcorn machine.
126 years later, his great-granddaughter is writing the next chapter for the Cretors family. This time, with the popcorn itself.
Made with all-natural ingredients completely free of GMO’s, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, G.H. Cretors’ new signature Chicago Mix combines caramel corn and cheese corn in the same bag, offering addictive, simultaneous hits of sweet, salty, crunchy and cheesy. The caramel corn is made the old-fashioned way: by hand, in copper kettles. Cane sugar, brown rice syrup (a non-GMO alternative to corn syrup with a lower glycemic impact) and real butter is heated over aflame and then stirred slowly by hand to develop its rich complex flavor and crunch.

 Everywhere USA, February 2013 — Difficult as it is to believe, that special canine or feline person who means so much to you may be exposed to more things that are hazardous to their health than we are.
Researchers at the non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that pet dogs and cats were contaminated with 48 of 70 industrial chemicals tested, including 43 chemicals at levels higher than those typically found in people.
“Just as children ingest pollutants in tap water, play on lawns with pesticide residues or breathe in an array of indoor air contaminants, so do their pets,” reports EWG. “Since they develop and age seven or more times faster than children, pets also develop health problems from exposures much faster,” EWG adds.
It has been found that average levels of chemicals such as stain- and grease-proof coatings (perfluorochemicals) were 2.4 times higher in dogs. In addition, fire retardants (PBDEs) were 23 times higher in cats, when compared to average levels in human beings.

.jpg) Atlanta, Georgia, January 2013 — The Coca-Cola Company is reinforcing its efforts to work together with American communities, business and government leaders to find meaningful solutions to the complex challenge of obesity.
A two-minute video, titled “Coming Together,” debuted recently on national cable news. The video encourages everyone to be mindful that all calories count in managing your weight, including those in Coca-Cola products and in all foods and beverages. Its purpose is to highlight some of the specifics behind the Company’s ongoing commitment to deliver more beverage choices, including low- and no-calorie options, and to clearly communicate the calorie content of all its products.
A second spot, called “Be OK,” debuted this week on American Idol. “Be OK” makes it clear right up front that a can of Coca-Cola has 140 calories. This spot also encourages people to find ways to have some fun in burning off those calories.
