Tyler Wade will be in attendance with his mentor and friend, the legendary soul/funk icon Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan has won 10 Grammy Awards and 4 American Music Award nominations. Accompanying both Tyler and Chaka will be celebrity consultant Raffles van Exel, President and CEO of Raffles Entertainment.
“This is a dream come true, as I have always wanted to attend the American Music Awards.” States Tyler Wade. “This will inspire me to work even harder on my debut album as I hope to one day be a presenter and maybe even an award recipient in the future. I’m also honored to be attending the show with my mentor and idol, the incomparable Chaka Khan.”
About Tyler Wade:
Tyler Wade was born and raised near Atlanta, Ga. His father is a Presbyterian minister and his mother is a homemaker and independent business woman. Tyler learned to sing at an early age during participation in the church youth choir under the direction of Linda Manning, and was selected to perform many solos while participating at Midway Presbyterian Church in Decatur, GA. During this time, he developed a passion for music but just like all young people, he had to put this passion in the background for a few years in order to finish school.
Late in his teenage years, Tyler began modeling in the Atlanta area for G-Star, Diesel, and Y-3. He decided to move to Los Angeles in the summer of 2007 to further pursue his modeling career. However, in the background of this endeavor, there was always a desire to pursue music. While living and working in Hollywood, he had the opportunity to become associated with the socialite scene. Through the contacts he made, he began to earnestly pursue music again. Now a budding recording star, he continues to enjoy life in Southern California while finally having the opportunity to pursue his passion for music.
Tyler is working on material for his debut with more details to follow. For interviews and other inquires, please contact Raffles Entertainment: http://www.rafflesentertainment.com

The app will help students to deal with integrals, non-linear and differential equations, optimize functions, generate distributions and draw plots. It may also be useful for researchers, scientists and everyone who is interested in Math. Our main goal was to develop an app which would keep high school students motivated to learn science and get used to the idea that Math is not about pointless numbers and figures its about making things work, said Alex Krakovetskiy, the founder of WP7Rocks.com.
Designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, Math Rocks! is a perfect showcase of the fact that a smartphone could not only be an entertainment gadget but a serious educational assistant as well. The idea behind this app is hardcore math implemented in WP7 metro-style, said Dmitriy Tarasov, CEO of Tarasov Mobile.
Despite of many math-related apps available in Marketplace, this product is created specifically for tech-geeks and would help to calculate a trajectory, solve a real-life physics task, find an integral and help students to get familiar with different computational methods.
Thats right, it is almost rocket science in a pocket

BFM Digital is commemorating the first anniversary of BFM Jazz with a special compilation album, “A Year with BFM Jazz 2011,” featuring tracks from the labels top players including Steve Gadd and The Tierney Sutton Band.
Utilizing their established footprint in the digital marketplace with a network of more than 250 digital stores worldwide, BFM Digital created BFM Jazz to insure that talented and seasoned jazz musicians had a home and advocates for their music. As changes in the music industry were affecting major labels, BFM Jazz is built upon a commitment to support the creative community and distribute quality music.
BFM Jazz was created after years of working with some of the best names in Jazz through BFM Digital. Many of these artists self-released incredible albums with no label support to bring awareness to them. We launched BFM Jazz to offer full marketing, PR and radio support for these releases to help them reach their full potential, says Michele Ito, GM of BFM Jazz.
BFM Jazz kicked off a strong year with “Live at Voce,” a live album from one of the most influential drummers of all time, Steve Gadd & Friends. Gadd has recorded legendary drum tracks such as Aja (Steely Dan), Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover (Paul Simon), Late in the Evening (Paul Simon) and Nite Sprite (Chick Corea.)
To bring the first year to a close, BFM Jazz released The Tierney Sutton Bands “American Road” in September, full of the bands take on Americana classics. Downbeat Magazine stated that Suttons luminous alto has seldom sounded so pure as on her ninth release.
Other BFM Jazz releases, included on the compilation, are Bob Sheppards “Close Your Eyes,” Luis Contes “En Casa de Luis,” Larry Goldings “In My Room,” Alan Pasquas “Twin Bill” and John Daversas “Junk Wagon: Big Band Album.”

New GPS notifications feature from iBuildapp lets anyone build an app that can send special offers to customers based on their location. iBuildApp recently added mobile coupons for businesses to their free-to-build apps. Now anyone can develop and send coupons, incentives, or timely deals straight to their most loyal customers when they are close by.
Build an app with GPS notifications immediately by going to http://ibuildapp.com
The app will notify a customers phone (iPhone and Android) whenever they leave or enter a defined area or POI (point of interest). Based on that information, businesses can offer mobile coupons or provide driving directions.
To build an app with GPS, just enter the POI info, desired radius (options of 50 feet, 100 feet, 300 feet, 500 feet, 1 mile, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles, or 15 miles), and a message (alert) for the notification. Alerts will be displayed on customers devices once they enter the defined zone.
There is no limit to how many location-based notifications can be added and no need to recompile the app when adding a new location/notification. All the info will be available via an XML file that can be quickly updated. The feature works even when the app is running in the background, but not when the app is closed.
For example, if a user allows their iPhone to use their location, the app will initiate GPS to define their exact location. Then when they are near a preset location, the app prompts a notification.For iPhone users the location is determined by a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi and cell towers, depending on what’s available at the time.
Screenshots at http://ibuildapp.com/gps-for-push-notification-is-released
iBuildApp helps businesses take advantage of the growing mobile marketing trend. The new offering from the iBuildApp team follows iBuildApps set of top mobile solutions for BlackBerry, Nokia, Windows, Andriod, iPad and iPhone. It is free to build an app with GPS notifications.
