			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York, NY - September 30, 2008 - Get Your Green Up Ent./CTE West recording artist Roccett will be featured in an international and US ad campaign for Tupac Shakur&#8217;s official clothing line &#8220;Makaveli Branded.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 22-year-old Roccett, born and raised in the rugged streets of Carson, CA, is honored to represent the &#8216;Makaveli Branded&#8217; clothing line, that was launched seven years ago by 2Pac&#8217;s mother, Afeni Shakur. &#8220;Being a part of &#8216;Makaveli Branded&#8217; and anything to do with Tupac is a great honor. I grew up on Pac&#8217;s music. He is still my favorite rapper and inspiration for me as an artist,&#8221; said Roccett . &#8220;I am honored to be in the ad campaign and to be a &#8216;Makaveli Branded&#8217; sponsored artist. The ad not only gets US visibility, but also will get visibility and exposure throughout Europe and other territories that distribute the brand,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Tupac Shakur Foundation Scholarship Fund to complete the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, GA.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since the untimely death of my son, I have been on a spiritual journey to fulfill and complete what he began while he was alive. Because of his love of music, his fans, his culture, and his family, I walk through life with one purpose. Keeping Tupac&#8217;s Legacy alive,&#8221; said Ms. Shakur. &#8220;All I hope is that we never forget what Tupac always knew; Pursue your goals with a passion and never let life slow you down,&#8221; she continued.</p>
<p>Attached is the newest &#8220;Makaveli Branded&#8221; advertisement featuring Roccett.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Mashup Camp, produced by TechWeb&#8217;s Alternative Events Group, today announced an enhanced format, new program elements and a revised Web site for Mashup Camp Silicon Valley, to be held November 17-19, 2008 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.</p>
<p><strong>For more information please visit <a href="http://www.mashupcamp.com">http://www.mashupcamp.com</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The new Camp will showcase an improved format based on feedback received from the Mashup Camp community. The event is condensed to three intense days featuring new program elements like API Chalk Talks, as well as traditional favorites like SpeedGeeking and participant-driven unconference sessions. A revised Web Site reflects the renovations with improved functionality, design and navigation.</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The improvements we&#8217;ve made to Mashup Camp &#8212; largely based on what attendees have been telling us &#8212; stand true to the intimacy and attendee-driven content of our previous &#8216;unconferences&#8217; for the mashup<br />
community,&#8221; said Alternative Events Group General Manager, David Berlind. &#8220;We expect Mashup Camp&#8217;s fresh program will be a driving force of innovation in what is becoming one of the most important software<br />
ecosystems.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mashup Camp Silicon Valley has proven to be fertile ground for VCs looking to invest in one of the richest mashup developer ecosystems around. Given how simple it is for non-developers to build mashups, Mashup Camp is also great for the general mashup-curious who want to come see how the mashup approach puts the power of software development into the hands of ordinary people.</p>
<p>TechWeb&#8217;s Alternative Events Group produces unconference-style andcustom events like Mashup Camp where developers decide which application program interfaces (APIs) and development tools to use when building the next generation of Web applications. Such API and tool adoption ultimately determines which development platforms will succeed on the Web. The content of TechWeb&#8217;s Alternative Events Group is largely community-driven, with much of it created by the participants during the events, generating<br />
collaboration and idea sharing in an efficient and rapid format.</p>
<p>Since the first Mashup Camp in February 2006, the Alternative Events Group has organized seven camps and has added a hands-on training component that allows vendors to present focused information about their APIs and other mashup solutions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Alternative Health Journal today announced the launch of the Web&#8217;s first alternative health community with Web 2.0 functionality, directly competing with the well-known medical information site, WebMD. The new site, found at <a href="http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com">http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com</a>, features original editorial and user-generated content focused on natural health news, information and<br />
alternative healthcare solutions for consumers. </p>
<p>Editorial contributors for the new site include award-winning health blogger, Bob Condor, author of The Good Mood Diet and managing editor of health at MSN.com, renowned former NASA scientist Dr. William Judy, and Dr. Glen Halvorson, who worked with the U.S. Olympic team. </p>
<p><span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p>The new site offers visitors free access to timely information about alternative healthcare solutions and the latest in Web 2.0 interactivity. Alternative Health Journal also hosts one of the Web&#8217;s largest collections of alternative health articles, videos and vitamin-supplement glossaries, allowing consumers to make informed decisions about vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies, minerals, enzymes and other natural products not directly regulated by the U.S. Food &#038; Drug Administration (FDA). The site&#8217;s growing community of readers and contributors can now:</p>
<p>    &#8212;  Upload articles, videos and natural cures to share information, tips<br />
        and expertise with fellow community members<br />
    &#8212;  Participate in forums and a lively alternative health discussion board<br />
    &#8212;  Share knowledge and best practices on the alternative health blog<br />
    &#8212;  Comment on editorials and videos and vote for natural cures<br />
    &#8212;  Search the site by article, video or glossary health concern<br />
    &#8212;  Stay informed about alternative health events in the news</p>
<p>    &#8220;When I began researching the alternative health space on the Web, I was amazed to see the lack of quality information portals,&#8221; said Erin Jansen, Editor-in-Chief and founder of the well-known internet dictionary, NetLingo. &#8220;Like many people, I am passionate about alternative health and medicine, but found no modern, reliable websites with current news or information that helped me research homeopathic remedies or get the latest information I need on a regular basis. Since WebMD doesn&#8217;t provide the timely articles or information about alternative health solutions I wanted, we decided to create the world&#8217;s first Web 2.0 alternative health community.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We want to give people the opportunity to learn about alternative health solutions instead of relying solely on western medicine or drugs,&#8221; added Robert Riess, President. &#8220;Health is personal. People go online to search for health information that&#8217;s particular to whatever is ailing them, so we also wanted to give people the opportunity to share their health stories, whether it&#8217;s in a video, article, essay, natural cure, or in our forums.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alternative Health Journal also sends a newsletter twice a week to its growing and loyal fan base. The site even has plans to allow its community the ability to link to other social networking platforms such as MySpace and Facebook. To view the website or sign up for the newsletter, visit<br />
<a href="http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com">http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com</a>.</p>
<p>Alternative Health Journal is the online community and leading source for alternative health news, tips for healthy living and breakthroughs in natural medicine. Site visitors share knowledge and get access to original content on alternative health topics ranging from natural anti-aging solutions, ways to ease joint discomfort, tips to sleep better and much more. </p>
<p>Partnered with well-known doctors, authors, and alternative health practitioners such as former NASA scientist, Dr. William Judy and Dr. Glen Halvorson who worked with the U.S. Olympic team, Alternative Health Journal is the only online source for content with a fresh perspective on nutraceutical industries such as anti-aging, joint repair, weight control, heart, cholesterol, sleep, memory, men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s sexual health, vision, and body-building. The free online news community also features one of the world&#8217;s largest collections of alternative health articles, videos, blogs, community forums and product reviews. For information or to become a member, sign up at Alternative Health Journal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A difficult task ensues when attempting to pinpoint what it is about Bagbrown’s debut that sounds so eerily familiar.  Likened to most three-piece rock bands of the late sixties, the group transcends a bold electric blues mentality into their diverse, yet comprehensive approach to songwriting.  However, to say that it is reminiscent of a traditional pop record is a far cry from the term as defined by modernity.  Slowly driven with an emphasis on shifts between deep watery vocals and scathing guitar leads, self-titledpicks up pace and intensity as it progresses.</p>
<p>“I think, as most people do, that after fifty years of rock music much of the form has been exhausted.  So much music has been made there almost isn’t any practical need to record anymore of it.  Be that as it may, a void will always exist that needs to be filled by live performance.  People who have come out to the show almost always have an opinion of who we sound like or what we remind them of.  I know that’s the norm for any new band, nowadays.  It’s just easier to remember the last half-century and identify with the music you’ve grown up with or the bands you are used to hearing than it is to describe something new by its qualitative features alone.  I know I do it all the time.” says twenty-three year old front man Scott Heaton.</p>
<p>A true independent, Bagbrown is releasing their first effort on their own accord.  It is available today for physical purchase at cdbaby.com/.  Substantive LPs are often tall orders for new bands yet this ten song, forty-five minute release has become only an endearing portion of their live repertoire.  Accordingly, the outfit intends on returning to the studio this autumn to record a follow up EP (inclusive of a B-Side from self-titled) before booking regional shows.  For a more introspective look at the band including bio, pics, and updates please visit the following web address:</p>

Musically inspired by the late 60’s-early 70’s, the album adopts the 7-song format and approach of classics like The Stooges’ Fun House, Neil Young’s , Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain, and Deep Purple’s Machine Head.

<p>Musically inspired by the late 60’s-early 70’s, the album adopts the 7-song format and approach of classics like The Stooges’ Fun House, Neil Young’s , Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain, and Deep Purple’s Machine Head. </p>
<p>In line with that, it allows room for some instrumental exploration and long guitar solos, notably on the 9-minute closer, Record Store Blues. Similarly, there are some shorter songs, with perhaps more of a mainstream appeal, as in the two intended singles, Unsigned and Proud, and Make Some Noise.</p>
<p>The title too, is taken from that era. The Exodus Is Here is a line from Baba O’Reily by The Who, the opening track of their 1971 album, Who’s Next. Nonetheless, these links to older times are done in the wider context of the album, which largely deals with the changes in the way music is now being created, promoted and consumed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alienalright.com/">The Exodus Is Here</a><a href="http://www.alienalright.com/"> is Alien Alright’s</a> third release so far, with each release being stylistically different from the next. His debut, Howard Good’s Radio Sessions (2004), was largely acoustic, whereas its follow-up, The First Impression EP (2005), used looped beats to combine straight forward Rock with Hip-Hop and Funk.</p>
<p>“I can remember the feeling of going to the record store”, sings Alien Alright in one of the concluding lines on the album. The future of record shops might be in doubt, but there can be some consolation, if thanks to the independence that the internet gives, more musicians make albums which are adventurous as well as accessible, and with something to say.</p>
