October 28, 2009
Seeing is Believing — National Children’s Alliance (NCA), under agreement with the United States Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), announces that it will administer $10,125,000 in federal funds during the 2010 calendar year to support Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) and Multidisciplinary Teams nationwide. A request for proposal has been posted to the NCA website www.nationalchildrensalliance.org. The deadline for grant proposals is December 2nd, 2009 and awards will be announced January 1st, 2010.
The objective of the funding is to further the development and implementation of multidisciplinary child abuse investigation and prosecution programs. The multidisciplinary approach is a child-focused method in which representatives from many disciplines, including law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical and victim advocacy, work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about the investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse cases.

Hailing from the Inland Empire, these two emcees may be young-guns in the hip hop game, but they are approaching their career and success with ease and confidence. Their video for “Teach Me How To Jerk” won the Freshmen contest on MTVU and was later added into rotation. You can also catch the video on MTV Jams and BET.
Audio Push has been pounding the pavement with a spot on the recent Jerk Tour and have been poached to join Chris Brown and the New Boyz on another month long stint across the country.

‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’ Will Give Fans ‘Closure,’ Dancers Say – Movie News Story | MTV Movie News
October 27, 2009
MTV.com — Michael Jackson was deep into preparation with his dancers in the days before his death in June. In “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” he can be seen working out routines side by side with those dancers, trying to work out the last-minute kinks before the crew was set to take the stage at London’s O2 arena in July.
Unfortunately, those concerts never happened, but his dance troupe thinks the movie, at least, will allow fans to see what they missed out on.
“I think the fans are going to get a good little sneak peek into Michael, who Michael was,” Mekia Cox told MTV News. “I think it will be good for the fans to see him on his last couple nights with us and to see how strong he was and to see that he was still the Michael we remember. I think that just that in itself will give the fans some closure.”
