Both artists will be accompanied by a full orchestra along with each artist’s jazz ensembles who will also serve as special guests for the evening.

Cheek to Cheek debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts upon its release on Sept. 23.  Now at 88, Bennett remains the oldest artist in music industry history to have an album on the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. Cheek To Cheek marks Lady Gaga’s third consecutive #1 album release in just over three years.

Cheek To Cheek features classic jazz standards sung by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in a combination of vocal duets and solo performances. From the title track to “But Beautiful” to “I Won’t Dance,” the record showcases the chemistry between the two artists, who span 60 years in age. As Bennett says, “What I really love about being a jazz singer is that jazz artists are very creative, very honest, from phrase to phrase,” and Lady Gaga adds, “We wanted to make something that sounded perfect because of the quality of the emotion…the honesty.” Cheek To Cheek also features the Lady Gaga solo “Lush Life,” accompanied by Tony Bennett’s solo of  “Sophisticated Lady.” The two songs complement each other, as Lady Gaga explains, “I loved making ‘Lush Life,’ Tony mentored me emotionally through the process,” and Tony Bennett adds, “I sang ‘Sophisticated Lady’ to answer her on ‘Lush Life,’ and because Duke Ellington wrote it, who collaborated with Billy Strayhorn, the writer of ‘Lush Life.'” Recorded in New York City, Cheek To Cheek took over a year to complete and features jazz musicians associated with both artists including members of Bennett’s quartet: Mike Renzi, Gray Sargent, Harold Jones and Marshall Wood as well as pianist Tom Ranier. Jazz trumpeter Brian Newman, a long-time friend and colleague of Lady Gaga appears on the album as well with his NYC-based jazz quintet. Jazz soloists on selected tracks include tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, trumpeter George Rabbai and flutist Paul Horn, who passed away in July.

“We are thrilled to present this very special show. Individually they are incredible talents, together it is something not to be missed,” said Arthur Fogel, president of global touring and chairman of global music, Live Nation.

Tickets for the Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga performance in Los Angeles on May 30 at the Hollywood Bowl will go on sale Monday, Nov. 3 at 10:00 a.m. at www.ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster Outlets, the Hollywood Bowl Office or charge by phone 1-800-745-3000.

MEGA 96.3FM PREMIERES RAQC & NACHIN





MEGA 96.3FM, The Los Angeles Radio Station Preferred By The Young, Vibrant And Millennial Latino Consumers To Unveil On Monday, October 27 “The RaqC And Nachin Show”

“THE RAQC AND NACHIN SHOW” ON MEGA 96.3FM, THE ONLY MORNING SHOW IN LOS ANGELES CATERING TO THE NEW GENERATION OF US BORN LATINOS, WILL AIR FROM 6 TO 10 AM MONDAY TO FRIDAY


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MEGA 96.3FM, a Spanish Broadcasting System Inc., (SBS) (Nasdaq: SBSA) radio station in Los Angeles announced today the launch of the new morning show: “The RaqC and Nachin Show” debuted today Monday, October 27. On its first fun-filled week, listeners can expect surprises, the launch of new segments and special guest appearances by Chiquis Rivera, Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas and many more. “The RaqC and Nachin Show” will broadcast live from 6 to 10 AM Monday to Friday on MEGA 96.3FM.

MEGA 96.3FM is the trailblazing radio station in Los Angeles that represents and caters to today’s millennial Latinos; a unique and coveted consumer group that drives the region’s economy, music taste, purchasing trends and social media conversations. The 18-49 LA Latino consumers are uniquely bicultural, bilingual and make up the majority in the Los Angeles market. MEGA 96.3FM features on-air personalities that not only represent but are part of their target consumer group; one of the hard to replicate keys to the success of the radio station.

“We are excited to provide our loyal audience ‘The RaqC and Nachin Show;’ the only morning radio show in Los Angeles that represents young Latinos; a show they can relate to in content, language and culture. Both RaqC and Nachin are proven leaders and personalities that represent the MEGA 96.3FM audience;” said Bill Shadorf, Vice President Corporate Sales/VP West Coast Market Manager at Spanish Broadcasting System.

Juan Carlos Hidalgo, West Coast Programming Consultant at Spanish Broadcasting System said: “We are very fortunate that RaqC and Nachin are back home at MEGA 96.3FM. They represent the new generation of U.S. born Latinos that retain a strong connection to their cultural roots. The duo speaks to an audience that has a unique ability to combine, switch and mix English and Spanish effortlessly and naturally. This will certainly be an entertaining morning show designed specifically for young Latinos in LA.”

Raquel Cordova, better known as RaqC “The Queen of Spanglish Media”, originates from Riverside, CA. Her radio career began in 2000 at U-92.7 in Palm Springs as the morning show co-host. Shortly after, SBS offered her an on-air position with the Mexican Regional station, La Ley 107.9 in Chicago. Her successful run in Chicago allowed her to master the art of radio, as well as fine-tune her second language, Spanish. RaqC enjoyed a successful 8-year run as a top personality for Latino 96.3FM (the former name of MEGA 96.3FM). She is well known in the Latin-American community as being one of the stars on Mun2 top-rated reality show, “Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis and RaqC”, and most recently as a Tastemaker for NuVo TV on their newest show, “The Collective”. She has extended her career to various parts of entertainment besides radio including; TV, hosting, blogging, writing, acting and red carpet coverage. Embracing the influence she has on others coupled with her spirit of giving, RaqC founded Amigas4MySoul, a non-profit organization established to promote unity and empowerment among women by providing various events, conferences and self-empowerment workshops with the intention of teaching young women about the power of SELF-LOVE. Never shy of the camera, RaqC has gained media exposure through local and national press at many of Hollywood’s red carpet events such as the ALMA AWARDS and the NHMC’s Annual Impact Awards Gala.

Ignacio Sandoval, better known as “Nachin” is a radio personality born in Mexico and raised in Boyle Heights. “Started from the bottom now I’m here” is Nachin’s favorite quote, as he knows firsthand what it is to evolve through life. From early beginnings he overcame poverty through the hard working values set as an example by his mother who sold hot dogs on the street. Nachin’s motivation came at an early age when he realized the only way to a better life was through education. He earned a scholarship to the University of Riverside where he double majored in Theatre and Spanish Literature. Nachin calls himself a survivor and a doer. Growing up as an immigrant Nachin found himself in a world that was divided, as he was a Latino at heart but also an American in every way. In early 2000 Nachin became a radio intern at a station based in LA where his on-air journey began. Ever since then he has worked to give a name and voice to the new generation of millennials that glide between two worlds just like him: “the bilingual and bicultural generation.” One of Nachin’s dreams is to see more young people become educated, as they will be the ones leading the future generations.

“The RaqC and Nachin Show” will broadcast live from 6 to 10 AM Monday to Friday on MEGA 96.3FM.

If you purchased Shell Eggs or Egg Products produced in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014, you could be a Class Member in a proposed class action settlement.

If you purchased Shell Eggs or Egg Products produced in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014, you could be a Class Member in a proposed class action settlement.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire- HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC regarding the In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002.

This legal notice is to inform you of proposed Settlements between Plaintiffs and Defendants Midwest Poultry Services, LP (“Midwest”), National Food Corporation (“NFC”), and United Egg Producers/United States Egg Marketers (“UEP/USEM”), reached in the class action lawsuit, In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and also to inform you of a second amendment to the Sparboe Settlement.

Who is included in the Settlements & Second Sparboe Amendment?
The Settlement “Classes” include all persons and entities in the United States that purchased Shell Eggs and Egg Products, in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014. Due to the recent Settlements, the prior Sparboe Settlement is amended to add to the Sparboe Settlement Class direct purchases of Shell Eggs and Egg Products from March 1, 2014 through July 30, 2014, expanding the Class Period to make it comparable to the more recent Settlement Classes.

What is this case about?
Plaintiffs claim that Defendants conspired to limit the supply of Shell Eggs and Egg Products, which raised the price of Shell Eggs and Egg Products and, therefore, violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, a federal statute that prohibits agreements that unreasonably restrain competition. The settling Defendants deny all of Plaintiffs’ allegations.

What do the Settlements provide?
Under the Settlements, Plaintiffs will release all claims against Midwest, NFC and UEP/USEM. In exchange, Midwest will pay $2.5 million; NFC will pay $1 million; and UEP/USEM will pay $500,000, into a settlement fund for the benefit of the Classes. Plaintiffs also will receive documents and information that Plaintiffs’ attorneys believe will aid in their analysis and prosecution of this Action.

What does the Sparboe Settlement provide?
There is no monetary relief under the Sparboe Settlement. Sparboe agreed to provide substantial and immediate cooperation to Plaintiffs, which the Court already found conferred substantial benefits upon the Class. The second amendment merely conforms the Sparboe Class to the recent Settlement Classes.

What do I do now?
If you are a Class Member your legal rights are affected, and you now have a choice to make.

Participate in the Settlements: No action is required to remain part of the recent Settlements or the amended Sparboe Settlement. If the Court grants final approval to the Settlements and the Second Sparboe Amendment, they will be binding upon you and all other Class Members. By remaining part of the Settlements, you will give up any potential claims that you may have against Midwest, NFC, UEP/USEM and Sparboe relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit. You may be eligible to receive a settlement payment at a future date.

Ask to be excluded: If you wish to exclude yourself from the Sparboe Settlement as amended (if you had no purchases before March 1, 2014) and/or the recent Settlements and wish to retain your rights to pursue your own lawsuit relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, you must formally exclude yourself from the Classes by sending a signed letter to the Claims Administrator postmarked on or before March 6, 2015.

Object: You may notify the Court that you object to the recent Settlements and/or Second Sparboe Amendment by mailing a statement of your objection(s) to the Court, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and Defense Counsel postmarked by March 6, 2015. Detailed instructions on how to participate, opt out or object are on the Settlement website.

Who represents you?
The Court appointed Steven A. Asher of Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC; Michael D. Hausfeld of Hausfeld LLP; Stanley D. Bernstein of Bernstein Liebhard LLP; and Stephen D. Susman of Susman Godfrey LLP as Interim Co- Lead Class Counsel. You do not have to pay them or anyone else to participate. You may hire your own lawyer at your own expense.

When will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlements and/or the Second Sparboe Amendment?
At 9:30 a.m. on May 6, 2015, at the United States District Court, James A. Byrne Federal Courthouse, 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, the Court will hold a hearing to determine the fairness and adequacy of the recent Settlements and the Second Sparboe Amendment, and consider any motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and incentive awards and reimbursement of litigation costs. You may appear at the hearing, but are not required to do so.

Please note that the Court may change the date and/or time of the Fairness Hearing. Settlement Class Members are advised to check www.eggproductssettlement.com for any updates.

SACRAMENTO, California, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the No on 46 campaign announced it has launched two new 30-second TV ads in both Spanish and English featuring Sandra Mendez, MD, the Los Angeles-born daughter of Mexican immigrant parents, now a respected obstetrician/gynecologist serving Medi-Cal patients in Sacramento County who once served as the first female Chief of Staff of Methodist Hospital in Sacramento.

English Text and audio as follows:

Dr. Sandra Mendez

OB/GYN, 25 years practicing
in California

Dr. Mendez: I’m Dr. Sandra Mendez.

That moment when a mother first sees her baby is why I love my job.

Half my patients are on MediCal, and these families are struggling.

If Proposition 46 passes, patients like mine will lose access to care.

Trial Lawyers

millions

The trial lawyers designed Prop 46 for themselves, not to protect patients.

Prop 46
increase costs
$1,000 a year for
a family of four

Experts agree: Prop 46 will increase health care costs.

NO ON 46.com

PAID FOR BY NO ON 46 – PATIENTS, PROVIDERS AND HEALTHCARE INSURERS TO CONTAIN HEALTH COSTS, WITH MAJOR FUNDING FROM THE COOPERATIVE OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS IE COMMITTEE AND THE DOCTORS COMPANY.

Prop 46 is a serious risk to my patients — and California – that’s why I’m voting no.

Mitad de mis pacientes tienen el MediCal… diariamente viven con lo mínimo.

 

Half of my patients are on MediCal….every day, they’re living on the edge.

Si pasa la Proposición 46, pacientes como las mías perderán el acceso al cuidado de salud, porque subirán los costos.

 

If Prop 46 passes, patients like mine will lose Access to healthcare, because costs will go up.

Lancome Celebrates 5th Annual Genifique Day October 24 & 25, 2014

To Benefit
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®


NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Join Lancome for the fifth annual Genifique Day to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Today and tomorrow, Lancome will donate $7 directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for every bottle of Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate, Genifique Eye Light-Pearl and Genifique Yeux sold, to underscore Genifique’s 7-day radiance results. The brand has tapped Celebrity Makeup Artist Mickey Williams to host events at select Lancome counters around the country to support Genifique Day.

Each year, in honor of national Genifique Day, hundreds of thousands of dollars in vital donations are raised for St. Jude. Each Genifique bottle sold helps the hospital fulfill its mission to find cures and save children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It costs $2 million a day to operate the hospital, and your individual contribution can help in so many ways:

21 bottles could pay for one night of family housing
9 bottles could cover one blood count test
5 bottles could buy a day of meals
3 bottles could pay for one bone marrow needle

Additionally, the brand will continue its social media campaign through this final weekend—Instagram or Tweet your hands in the shape of a heart and post to social media with the #LancomeGivesBack hashtag, and the brand will make a $1 donation to St. Jude (up to the $20,000 goal).

“I’m honored to be affiliated with a brand such as Lancome that supports such a worthy and meaningful cause,” Lancome ambassadress Lupita Nyong’o states. “Growing up, I witnessed doctors in my own family work tirelessly to restore the health of people around them. I understand how important it is to support efforts to find cures for critical diseases, and I therefore proudly support the work that St. Jude is doing, especially in pediatric cancer, to help the children there lead better, healthier lives.”

The Genifique collection serves as the epitome of Lancome’s commitment to helping women look and feel their overall best. Inspired by cutting edge science, Genifique’s award-winning formula infuses skin with radiance while visibly reactivating the 10 key signs of youth.

“Thanks to Lancome and other supporters, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” says Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Our founder Danny Thomas believed that no child should die in the dawn of life. To fulfill this promise, St. Jude depends on initiatives like national Genifique Day to support the life-saving reseach and treatment conducted at the hospital, and ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.”

About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for the most aggressive childhood cancers, and treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since we opened more than 50 years ago.
