Dont touch that Dial By Barbara Ciara, WTKR NewsChannel 3 This year Im celebrating 36 years as a Journalist and Im proud to say that I still hop out of bed every morning with eager anticipation of what the day will bring. On many occasions viewers will strike up a conversation with me when Im out and about to discuss news events or submit their own story ideas. Some of our best feature stories, and hard hitting investigations began with a call or email from interested viewers. For some of us journalists who have been around for a while its this kind of interaction with community which inspired the phrase, giving a voice to the voiceless. Recently I was in line for my morning ritual of picking up a cup of coffee before work when a stranger in line, who said she worked at a nearby eatery, volunteered this: I know you are on television, but I dont watch the news, its too depressing. I tried to imagine myself stopping by her restaurant and telling the manager, I dont eat here at your estab...

Ciara returns with new track Sorry (Picture: Getty) Da Lata: Going Underground (Da Lata Music) A British-Brazilian take on The Jams classic hit from the 1990s club veterans. Streetwise vocals from Floetic Lara (above left with Da Lata) take the retro groove in the right direction. Prince: Rock And Roll Love Affair (Purple Music) The right royal maverick continues his fruitful fling with the Swiss label. This guitar funk number is served with a spritz of house. Ciara: Sorry (RCA) Sorry doesnt seem to be the hardest word for Ciara the Texan chanteuse powers up her husky tones on this rnb ballad. Vessels: The Sky Was Pink (Cuckundoo Records) Leeds post-punks play a spiralling electro-fied cover, based on James Holdens remix of a Nathan Fake track.

Black Salad is a deliciously lush, characteristically murky confecti...

Students lobby Labour over pledge not to raise registration fee By Conor Kane Friday, November 30, 2012 About 70 students angry about an anticipated increase in third-level registration fees and worried about a cut in grants held a loud protest outside Labour Party TD Ciara Conways constituency office yesterday. Ms Conway was not present to meet the students in her Dungarvan, Co Waterford base as she was in the Dil but the protesters posted letters through her door and also sent a number of Twitter messages to the backbencher. The lunchtime protest consisted mainly of students from Waterford Institute of Technology and was the 14th of 15 being held in the Union of Students in Irelands current Fed Up Stand Up campaign about fees and grants. Slogans chanted by the students included "Labour Party, shame on you", and "Ciara Conway, keep your promises". USI vice-president Kate Acheson said they were asking Ciara Conway and other government TDs to prioritise education. ...

(Corrects 17th paragraph to clarify use of proceeds in Clean Harbors deal) By Ciara Linnane NEW YORK (Frankfurt: A0DKRK - news ) , Nov 28 (IFR) - Activity in the US high-yield market picked up on Wednesday with three new deals being announced, including a USD500m offering from crossover credit Ally Financial. "The market seems to have shaken any residual affects of a turkey food coma," RBS (LSE: RBS.L - news ) analysts said in a note. Volume has been subdued for most of this week as concerns about the fiscal cliff, the name given to the automatic expiry of tax cuts and spending measures in January if Congress fails to avert them, kept issuers on the sidelines. Ally Financial, the former GMAC (NYSE: GOM - news ) , announced plans to issue USD500m of three-year senior notes via Citigroup (NYSEArca: BUW - news ) , Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news ) , Deutsche Bank (Xetra: 514000 - news ) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - news ) joint books. Proceeds of the deal will be used for g...

Singersroom 11/27/2012 7:25:37 PM Ciara gets a helping hand from label-mate Future for a new remix of her lead single "Sorry." Like the original, Ciara sings about a man she's missing following the folding of a relationship. The R&B siren describes the single as a very, very real record. Its someone that I really loved, she told ESSENCE magazine. Theyll know who they are when they hear the song. Ciaras fifth studio album, One Woman Army, is set to release this winter.

Gino DePinto, AOL "Turnt up" is a phrase that decorates Ciara 's vocabulary. Rarely known to party hard like its definition suggests, the songstress uses the phrase to describe her forthcoming album, One Woman Army , and she even has one song on the effort dedicated to the term: "Super Turnt Up." The track, which was co-produced by Jasper Cameron and Ciara, is "mean and aggressive," according to the singer. "It's super swagged out," she tells The BoomBox. "I love this song 'cause it just feels very unique to me." There's also an unexpected collaboration fans can look forward to when listening to the song. "I remember when I was writing the record, how I was playing around with the concept of it. That song is actually me featuring me. You'll hear me in a different way on that record. I don't want to give away too much." Ciara is hush-hush about who will eventually show up on the final One Woman Army pro...

Written by Karen Kovacs Dydzuhn Monday, 26 November 2012 05:00 Though it wasnt her birthday, a festive party was held for Ciara ODriscoll at Great Hollow Lake. The second grade student at Monroe Elementary School was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, a rare childhood epilepsy, when she was 11 months old. Ciaras friends, teachers and caregivers from Monroe Elementary School, as well as neighbors and Monroe Volunteer Emergency Medical Service staff members who have gotten to know her, participated in Monroes first annual Steps Toward a Cure charity walk. Ciaras parents, Lori and Liam ODriscoll, are the founders of the Dravet Syndrome Foundation, established in 2009. Lori ODriscoll said the Monroe-based nonprofit organization has donated $1 million for research and $30,000 for family assistance. While we work towards a cure, we also want to help families, she said. A full-time volunteer, Lori is the president and chief executive officer of the foundation. Liam watched over Ciara, 7, early o...

Sat, Nov 17 2012 by EseHombre | Filed Under: Celebrities Fresh off a collab with one bad bish, Nicki Minaj is on to the next in a surprise collaboration with Ciara. Nicki decided to bring even more energy to her already jam-packed Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re-Up release by throwing a Ciara track in the mix. In the new jam, Im Legit, which is similar to tracks like Travis Porters Make It Rain and Big Seans A$$, Nicki slows her flow down then, over a series of hand claps, speeds it up and gives you something to bounce to. Ciara fits right in on the song while bragging on the chorus , Im the shit with no makeup/ Dont have to curl my hair up/ All this booty here mine/ Im a dollar worth of dimes. Nicki toots her own horn as well, even making light of that Romney/Obama scandal she found herself caught up in. I graduate with honors.

Brie Daniels 11/21/2012 12:52:33 PM If you were wondering whether or not Ciara still has it...she does. On Monday, the R&B diva took center stage for a live Myspace/Twitter concert donned in all white and rocking a glove reminiscent of one youd see Michael Jackson wearing. She performed hits like "Lose Control", "Goodies", "Ride It", a slowed down version of "One, Two Step", and "Promise" amongst others. Believe us when we say homegirl broke it all the way down with moves many of us have practiced in front of the mirror at one point or another. There was also plenty of crowd participation and watching CiCi made everyone feel like theyd just been invited to a kickback at her house. Yall making me sweat right now, Ciara said at one point during the concert. Its all about having fun and sweating and getting down. She even pulled some girls onstage to have a miniature dance off. It looked so fun we had a hard time staying situated in ...

MANILA, Philippines Singers Angeline Quinto and Ciara Sotto are the latest Filipino hopefuls who are hoping to land a role in the West End revival of the international hit musical Miss Saigon.

Ciara meets Nicki Minaj in "I'm Legit" / Photos by Getty Images "I did a freestyle, then I got a shout out from Obammer." Jay-Z may be the president's BFF , but the Young Money crew knows better than most how to exploit Barack Obama's occasional acknowledgement of their existence. For the trailer to his recent Dedication 4 , Lil Wayne sampled an out-of-context POTUS saying, "Maybe you are the next Lil Wayne, but probably not," and Nicki Minaj racked up countless headlines for her mention of Mitt Romney on that same mixtape. Naturally, the attention increased tenfold when Obama himself had to explain that, no she wasn't actually endorsing the Republican candidate and, by the way, y'all don't understand how rap lyrics work . Well, Minaj circles back on her new Ciara-featuring track, "I'm Legit," when she rhymes: "I graduate with honors, I'm Ball-nead O'Conner / I did a freestyle then I got a shout out fro...

Ciaras dad warns against further cyber-bully deaths By Noel Baker Thursday, November 15, 2012 The father of Ciara Pugsley, a schoolgirl who died by suicide after a campaign of online bullying, has warned lives will continue to be lost unless steps are taken to tackle the problem. Speaking after a meeting with TDs and senators at Leinster House, Jonathan Pugsley said that he felt some sympathy for the alleged bullies in the recent case of Erin Gallagher, as well as her family, after she too took her life following online abuse.

One Woman Army is a very very real album for me. It's a very exciting album...I'm very free in my thoughts. It represents my independence as a woman, but it's not about being over independent.

Gino DePinto, AOL Did you know Ciara is a sports buff? The statuesque singing beauty isn't one of those women who studies a "Football for Dummies" book just to impress a guy. She can actually carry on an intelligent conversation on teams and their respective players without sounding like an airhead. Don't let the blonde hair fool you. "I love sports because I feel like it runs parallel to what I do, whether it's in the competitive spirit or just the need to perform under pressure," the 27-year-old Atlanta native tells The BoomBox. "I feel like a lot of times, athletes are faced with that challenge. "I relate to that in so many ways, whether it's getting ready for a performance or knowing that you have a certain amount of time to do something and you gotta show up when it's time. Just that spirit of drive and will and ambition, getting fit for something." Most fans of the songbird, whose fifth album, One Woman Army , arrives in ear...
