(Photo by HB Meeks/Tell Us Detroit) MIU Men’s Health Foundation Calls on Men and Families to Focus on Men’s Health Week MIU Run for the Ribbon to take place Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19 at 8 a.m. SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN – What began as a one-day event to celebrate prostate cancer survivorship and men’s health now commands an entire week of advocacy. The MIU Men’s Health Foundation has inspired thousands of men, with their families, to gather at the Detroit Zoo in support of the annual MIU Run for the Ribbon on Father’s Day. Now the MIU Men’s Health Foundation, with Premier Healthcare Partner Beaumont Health System, encourages men and their families to expand their activities in support of National Men’s Health Week (taking place June 13-19, 2016). On June 13, men, women and children who wish to support the men in their lives are asked to dress in blue, and men are encouraged to participate in a healthful activity, donate to their favorite men’s health charity and share about it on social media, using #BlueMonday2016 to tag the Blue Monday Facebook page in their posts, and turn their profile picture blue with Twibbon. The overall goal is for people to publicly take a moment to share wishes of a “Happy and Healthy Blue Monday” for the men in their lives. http://tellusdetroit.com/health/MIU-MenS-Health-Foundation-Calls-on-Men-and-Families%20to-Focus-on-MenS-Health-Week-061616.html Page 1 of 4 MIU Men’s Health Foundation Calls on Men and Families to Focus on Men’s Health Week 6/22/16, 4:10 PM New this year, the Foundation launched the Blue Monday Challenge. The Blue Monday Challenge is a fundraising competition on CrowdRise where charities supporting men’s health initiatives will compete to raise the most funds for their organization. The Challenge launches on May 23, 2016 and ends on Blue Monday. A total of $6,000 in cash grants and bonuses will awarded by MIU Men’s Health Foundation to charities raising the most money. Businesses, corporations and community organizations also are asked to embrace Blue Monday as part of their culture, joining employees together to support the cause. Corporate partners include GM, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Molina Health and Quicken Loans. These partners will be supporting Blue Monday by encouraging their staff to wear blue, organizing health activities and turning their buildings blue. “Blue Monday is a day to promote and kick-off Men's Health Week, enhance men's health engagement and encourage fathers to have health conversations with their sons sooner to begin a generational legacy toward health,” said Michael Lutz, M.D., president of the MIU Men’s Health Foundation. For more information about Blue Monday, visit www.BlueMondayMensHealth.org. Run for the Ribbon Gala, June 17 The Run for the Ribbon Gala will take place Friday, June 17, 2016, at The Sky Deck in Detroit, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. for a “Night Under the Lights,” filled with 250 friends, fine wine and food, dancing and a silent auction. Guests will enjoy a strolling dinner, picturesque views of the Detroit skyline and entertainment from The Ben Sharkey Band and American Idol finalist, Jena Irene Asciutto. Tickets for the event are $179 each. Run for the Ribbon 5K, Father’s Day June 19 Men’s Health Week will culminate in the Eighth Annual MIU Run for the Ribbon on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19 at 8 a.m. at the Detroit Zoo in support of prostate cancer survivorship. Prostate cancer is the most common type of non-skin cancer found in American men, affecting one in seven, and is the second leading cause of cancer death for men, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The ACS estimates nearly 181,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2016. While more than 26,000 men will lose their fight with this disease, it is estimated nearly 3 million men are prostate cancer survivors, either diagnosed and treated or living with the disease. The mission of Run for the Ribbon is to promote the awareness, education, research and treatment of prostate cancer and men’s health related issues. The race attracts more than 2,000 survivors and supporters to run or walk each year. Registrants are encouraged to build a team or personal fundraising page when they sign up for the event. Registrants can upload photos, a personal story and set up team or personal fundraising goals. Each secure team page or personal page will have its own customized URL. Survivors can join the Prostate Cancer Survivor Team and raise funds in honor of all the men who are winning or have won the battle against prostate cancer. “Prostate cancer affects more than just the man who is diagnosed. His family and friends also feel the effects as they share in the worry and concern, as well as the vigilance and relief when he joins the ‘survivors club,’” said Lutz. “This run is as much for supporters as it is for http://tellusdetroit.com/health/MIU-MenS-Health-Foundation-Calls-on-Men-and-Families%20to-Focus-on-MenS-Health-Week-061616.html Page 2 of 4 MIU Men’s Health Foundation Calls on Men and Families to Focus on Men’s Health Week 6/22/16, 4:10 PM survivors, so we encourage all our walkers and runners to bring a whole team of supporters.” MIU Run for the Ribbon has been endorsed by the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports as a quality physical activity event that significantly contributes to the health and well-being of Michigan residents and is included in the Pure Michigan FITness Series endorsement program. The cost for early registration, by May 20, is $30 for adults and $20 for children. Registrations made from May 21 to June 17 are $35 for adults and $25 for children. Online registration at www.miurunfortheribbon.org is available until June 17, 2016. After June 17, participants must register on race day. Race day registration is $40 for adults and $30 for children. All participants will receive an official T-shirt, and commemorative medals will be awarded to all finishers, with special awards going to top finishers in several age categories. Team awards will be given to the team with the most members, the team that raises the most funds and the most creative team name. In honor of Father’s Day, the newest father also will receive an award. Participants with prostate cancer or who have survived prostate cancer will be given a special commemorative gift to celebrate their courage. Jody Trierweiler from the Beverly Hills Club will lead a warmup session beginning at 7:30 a.m. Registrants also can honor a loved one by placing his name on signage along the course with a $5 donation. All donations will be used to promote the awareness, education, treatment and research of prostate cancer and men’s health related issues. About MIU Men’s Health Foundation As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, MIU Men’s Health Foundation is dedicated to men’s health advocacy and the awareness, education, research and treatment of prostate cancer and men’s health related issues.

Steven Tyler United States - 19 May 2011 Many contestants who audition for American Idol tell moving and emotional stories. Perhaps the most touching of them was told by Chris Medina who performed Breakeven by The Scripts at the auditions in Chicago. He told the judges of his fiancée Juliana Ramos who had suffered a brain injury after a car accident that left her in a wheelchair – able to move only her left arm and little more. After Chris sang, he brought his fian- cée to the audition room at the judges’ request. While Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez intro- duced themselves, Steven Tyler shook her hand saying: “Hi, girl. I just heard your fiancée sing, and he’s so good.” He added in a warm, tender whisper: “That’s why he sings so good, because he sings to you.” The New York Times called the moment “a stellar embrace” and praised Tyler as “deeply practiced and deeply humane” and an “unalloyed genius”.

  • 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-Hop
    MUSICAL BORROWING IN HIP-HOP MUSIC: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND CASE STUDIES Justin A. Williams, BA, MMus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop Music: Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies Justin A. Williams ABSTRACT ‗Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop‘ begins with a crucial premise: the hip-hop world, as an imagined community, regards unconcealed intertextuality as integral to the production and reception of its artistic culture. In other words, borrowing, in its multidimensional forms and manifestations, is central to the aesthetics of hip-hop. This study of borrowing in hip-hop music, which transcends narrow discourses on ‗sampling‘ (digital sampling), illustrates the variety of ways that one can borrow from a source text or trope, and ways that audiences identify and respond to these practices. Another function of this thesis is to initiate a more nuanced discourse in hip-hop studies, to allow for the number of intertextual avenues travelled within hip-hop recordings, and to present academic frameworks with which to study them. The following five chapters provide case studies that prove that musical borrowing, part and parcel of hip-hop aesthetics, occurs on multiple planes and within myriad dimensions. These case studies include borrowing from the internal past of the genre (Ch. 1), the use of jazz and its reception as an ‗art music‘ within hip-hop (Ch. 2), borrowing and mixing intended for listening spaces such as the automobile (Ch. 3), sampling the voice of rap artists posthumously (Ch. 4), and sampling and borrowing as lineage within the gangsta rap subgenre (Ch.

  • How American Idol Constructs Celebrity, Collective Identity, and American Discourses
    AMERICAN IDEAL: HOW AMERICAN IDOL CONSTRUCTS CELEBRITY, COLLECTIVE IDENTITY, AND AMERICAN DISCOURSES A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Amanda Scheiner McClain May, 2010 i © Copyright 2010 by Amanda Scheiner McClain All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a three-pronged study examining American themes, celebrity, and collective identity associated with the television program American Idol. The study includes discourse analyses of the first seven seasons of the program, of the season seven official American Idol message boards, and of the 2002 and 2008 show press coverage. The American themes included a rags-to-riches narrative, archetypes, and celebrity. The discourse-formed archetypes indicate which archetypes people of varied races may inhabit, who may be sexual, and what kinds of sexuality are permitted. On the show emotional exhibitions, archetypal resonance, and talent create a seemingly authentic celebrity while discourse positioning confirms this celebrity. The show also fostered a complication-free national American collective identity through the show discourse, while the online message boards facilitated the formation of two types of collective identities: a large group of American Idol fans and smaller contestant-affiliated fan groups. Finally, the press coverage study found two overtones present in the 2002 coverage, derision and awe, which were absent in the 2008 coverage. The primary reasons for this absence may be reluctance to criticize an immensely popular show and that the American Idol success was no longer surprising by 2008. By 2008, American Idol was so ingrained within American culture that to deride it was to critique America itself.
