AbleGamers and Minicore Studios, the developer of coming space-dog adventure game Laika Believes, are teaming up to offer grants to purchase assistive gaming technology to players with disabilities. The program is called the "AbleGamers 2013 Summer of Fun Grant Program," and it's open to people of all ages. Take a look at the grant application here.
The application will be live until July 31; after that, the AbleGamers board will review the submissions and dole out funding as they see fit. AbleGamers Founder Mark Barlet says he expects to receive thousands of requests, Game Politics reports.
Minicore Studios founder John Warren says it's an honor to be involved in the grant program.
"Minicore is a huge supporter of the AbleGamers charity," he says. "We love what they do for the gaming community and those with disabilities. This was a perfect opportunity to get involved and help gamers with disabilities play."
According to a document obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Apple will pay 0.13 cents and 15 percent of advertising revenue to major labels for every song played on iTunes Radio in its first year, climbing to .14 cents and 19 percent in year two. In comparison, Pandora currently pays 0.12 cents per song, and WSJ added that Apple is offering publishers more than double Pandora's rate for royalties. There are some exclusions to Apple's offering, however: it won't need to pay for songs streamed for 20 seconds or less, those that are already in your iTunes library or certain promoted tracks. For its part, Pandora said that comparing the two is unfair, since varying features between the services could trigger royalty payments differently. It also addressed recent controversy about those royalties in a detailed blog post (see the More Coverage link below). In addition, insiders say that Apple's primary aim is to encourage listeners to buy more tracks on iTunes, in turn boosting hardware sales. Still, the new service will no doubt reap the benefits of Apples new iAd mobile advertising platform, so it's likely that Cupertino will have its cake and eat it, too.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Rolling Stones, known for songs such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash," have won a new publishing deal just as a series of shows this summer is set to boost interest in the band's back catalogue.
BMG, part of German publisher Bertelsmann, has signed to represent the music catalogue of the Stones, who are on tour celebrating 50 years in the music business.
The company gave no value for the deal, in which BMG's responsibilities will range from marketing and licensing songs to the film, TV and advertising sectors, to ensuring the writers are paid promptly and accurately for their use on the fast-growing number of digital music services.
It is the first new publishing deal with an outside company in 40 years for Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, who share writing credits on many of the band's best-known hits.
EMI Music Publishing, which owns the band's songs from 1971-1983, was the last outside company to sign a deal with the band, before the Stones took control over their own compositions.
BMG will from July 1 take direct responsibility for publishing all of the songs written by Jagger and Richards since 1983. Additionally the company will be responsible for handling the pair's shares of their pre-1983 copyrights such as "Angie" and "Brown Sugar".
"This deal is incredibly important for BMG," the company's CEO Hartwig Mausch said in a statement. "Keith and Mick have clearly created one of the most outstanding song collections in rock 'n' roll history".
The Stones, who released their first single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", in 1963, are gearing up for a gig at British music festival Glastonbury this weekend before playing more dates over the summer in London.
The BMG deal comes on the back of a career-spanning digitally re-mastered back catalogue released on Apple Inc's iTunes Store last week.
(This story has been corrected to add 'known for' in first paragraph to show that BMG did not get the rights for "Satisfaction" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash")

'Human Evolutionary Genetics' by Jobling, Hollux, Hurles, Kivisild, and Tyler-SmithPublic release date: 26-Jun-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]
Contact: Alain Mentha alain.mentha@taylorandfrancis.com 917-351-7138 Garland Science, Taylor & Francis Group
New second edition -- now available!
Garland Science is proud to announce the publication of the long-awaited Second Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics by Jobling, Hollux, Hurles, Kivisild, and Tyler-Smith.
Now in full-color, the Second Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics has been completely revised to cover the rapid advances in the field since publication of the highly regarded First Edition. Written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, it is the only textbook to integrate genetic, archaeological, and linguistic perspectives on human evolution, and to offer a genomic perspective, reflecting the shift from studies of specific regions of the genome towards comprehensive genomewide analyses of human genetic diversity.
Human Evolutionary Genetics is suitable for courses in Genetics, Evolution, and Anthropology. Readers with a background in anthropology will find that the streamlined genetic analysis material contained in the Second Edition is more accessible. The new edition also integrates new technologies (including next-generation sequencing and genomewide SNP typing) and new data analysis methods, including recent data on ancient genomes and their impact on our understanding of human evolution. The book also examines the subject of personal genomics and its implications.
The new Second Edition has been comprehensively revised and updated. New to the Second Edition:
Two new authors contributing additional expertise in genome variation, infectious disease, primatology and anthropology.
Now with a new layout and in full-color throughout, making the text and figures easier to read.
Two additional chapters, reflecting developments in understanding the human genome in the context of other hominid and great ape genomes, and in complex disease.
The guest-authored 'Opinion Boxes' are retained, with completely new boxes and guest authors to reflect current issues and controversies.
Each chapter ends with in-depth review questions.
Comprehensive glossary of over 1,300 terms, doubling the terms in the first edition.
Praise for the First Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics:
"I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in human evolutionary genetics or anthropological genetics. It would be an ideal choice for advanced undergraduates and graduate courses on this topic, and would also be a key reference for those active in such research." HUMAN GENOMICS
"[Human Evolutionary Genetics] is one of the best textbooks on any subject I have ever read. It belongs on the shelves of everyone interested in the genetic aspects of human evolution. There is also much of value in it for paleoanthropologists, historical linguistics, archaeologists, and human biologists (biological anthropologists), as well as for geneticists with various complementary specialties and interests." AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN GENETICS
"I strongly recommend Human Evolutionary Genetics as an undergraduate textbook. At the same time, I recommend this book to any readers with an interest in human evolution or human genetics." HUMAN GENETICS
