And somehow I fit a work out in there...I'm down to 197lbs. from a high of 220lbs.!
LA Office - Steve Baughman to Lead US Business ..."fast forward"
my favorite part of the last press release :
Reggie James then went on to say: "Now that Steve has joined the team we will have the ability to fast forward, first DC, then RTG."
Steve has 1200 Facebook friends and 1500 Twitter Followers.

More Puzzle Pieces....
http://www.AderraCode.com New site as of 3/24/2012
4 artists you can get codes for
one is Haddon Cord ( the next hot young pop star..Think Sara Bareilles)https://sites.google.com/a/haddoncord.com/home/news
She recently recorded a four song CD with legendary guitarist Carl Verheyen producing. She's performed over 50 shows in 2011 and has packed clubs and local theatres.
Haddon is described as a cross between Sheryl Crowe and Shania Twain with a dash of Madonna. Her natural angelic tone is juxtaposed by a subtle country twang, resulting in a truly unique and recognizable vocal style.
Her mentor is Carl Verheyen (Guitar Magazine calls Carl Verheyen “One of the top 10 guitar players in the world.”)
Carl is on the BrandEntertain Team ( https://sites.google.com/a/brandentertain.com/home1/our-team )
Haddon Cord is closely tied to BrandEntertain
http://SBClick.com (a BrandEntertain property, think Groupon type technology) has also cleaned up their site.
http://AderraMediaWorks.com looks like a JV with RecordMemory.com (Nashville, TV)
IMHO
Puzzle
Somehow it think http://www.recordmemory.com/?page_id=739 may be involved too.
They make the USB pieces, and the owner looks to be nearing retirement...imo
Plus they are in Nashville

These discussions will include several companies that are part of an overall plan to vertically integrate.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/rtg-ventures-continues-execution-business-154500065.html
NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RTG Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: RTGV.PK - News) stated in its last press release that: "In November 2011, Reggie James and Linda Perry had preliminary discussions with several companies who meet the criteria and were interested in a joint venture with a public company in the social media space which could evolve into a merger of like-minded entities."
Alongside these meetings a short release was also issued (http://prn.to/AooL65) that described clearly the continued development of the Pulse Station platform. The combination of these last 2 statements and continued effort under extraordinary and often negative sentiment, has culminated in a seismic shift in 3rd party investors and technology companies looking to engage in a deeper way with RTG Ventures, its technology and lead interactive agency.
Speaking on the recent activity, Reggie James, SVP Marketing & Communications said, "There has been significant interest in our unique offering of combining bespoke technology with digital marketing insight that has resulted in us making a trip back to the US to take things to their next logical level."
He added, "As social and digital integration is at the heart of what we do, Pulse Station is already modelling part of its architecture to embrace the need for brands to understand their footprint in this arena as well as other vertical sectors. This has allowed us to broaden our reach in sectors that are in vogue and we will look to push the technology in areas such as sport and fashion."
Linda Perry, Executive Director further commented, "Now that the restructuring of debt is in hand, we attended the National Investment Bankers Association (NIBA) Conference (http://nibanet.org/). The Conference met all expectations. Not only a new network of institutional investors, but people whose sole purpose in attending is to find like minded people for mutual advantage. As a result of our participation, RTG now has several sources of long term funding sources who are interested in our business and who are prepared to invest. Those discussions will continue, hopefully to conclusion, after the next week of meetings in LA."
She added, "Following that event, we are travelling on to Los Angeles to continue the discussions that begun in November. These discussions will include several companies that are part of an overall plan to vertically integrate. The private company which RTG has identified as a JV/Merger candidate will be an active participant in several of these meetings."
In light of potential developments that can change the landscape for RTG significantly Neil Gray, Chairman of RTG Ventures from London, will join the meetings in Los Angeles. Additional efforts will be announced within the next couple of days that will enhance the balance sheet. We also expect to update shareholders through releases on the progress of the meetings in LA shortly after the meetings conclude.

About
The Pussycat Dolls, Usher, 50 Cent, Destiny’s Child, Pink and Snoop Dogg are just a handful of the top-selling artists that Grammy Award-winner Steven “Steve B” Baughman has worked with.
A California native, Steve B. graduated from California State University, Chico in 1995 with a BA in Music, Recording Arts. He then made his way to the heart of the music industry, Los Angeles. Starting his career at the prestigious Larrabee Studios, Steve B., worked with a wide variety of artists, producers, writers and music executives over a five-year period. This opportunity, straight out of college, allowed him to learn the music business from the bottom up. Armed with this knowledge and experience, Steve B. went off on his own in 2000 as an independent recording engineer.
Working for Death Row Records, Interscope Records, Sony Records, Capitol Records and many others, he was able to form relationships with some of the biggest moguls in the music business, including but not limited to, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Iovine, and 50 Cent. Since then, Steve B. has worked on innumerable platinum records like Eminem’s 2002 “Eminem Show”, which was nominated for multiple Grammy’s and won in the category of Best Rap Album. In 2004, Baughman opened his own personal recording studio, servicing multi-platinum artists and up-and-coming talent.
As a writer/producer/mixer/engineer, he has been able to provide these clients with a complete start to finish album experience. Due to this success, in 2007, Baughman was hired by multi-billionaire Dr. Henry Nicholas to help form a new record label. As a staff A&R/producer/mixer, he was responsible for handling existing talent and bringing new talent into the system. Steve B continues his musical entrepreneurial drive and now has a new production/management imprint that includes country artist, Megan Moreaux. In addition he continues to mix and produce the biggest names in the music business.

What we need is an app that changes the way the world interacts, and changes habits with music.
An app that gets 100 million downloads and we charge a low annual fee for use.
An app that is so cool, new, and useful that it gets shared via social media and reaches 100 million users, faster than anything before it.
An app that when used, creates useful “big data” that we can sell to bands, music companies, entertainment firms.
An app that can easily be tweeked to take the music concept app to be used for other entertainment venues: TV, Sports, Movies, Gambling, etc.
The right app..could change all this around…just dreaming out loud.

Interesting read.

by Roger Ehrenberg
Throughout my business career, I’ve observed that people love to label current fashions. “Web 2.0,” “Cloud” and “Social” are three which are currently in vogue. In my lifetime likely none was bigger than “.com,” describing a business and its recognition of the importance of the Internet. Remember when long-established businesses would change their names by adding a .com extension, only to receive a salutary stock market reaction? This was a equity market story that was destined to have an unhappy ending, from which the public markets still have yet to fully recover. Needless to say, the Internet has changed billions of lives in positive ways too numerous to mention, but those benefits didn’t come from labels, stickers or launch parties. They emerged from businesses new and old building and re-positioning their strategies to harness the Web’s true power, and to engage with customers in more and better ways than was previously possible. Nobody gratuitously adds .com to their names any more, and as far as I know I haven’t heard anyone refer to an Internet-based business as a .com for at least five years. That said, I’m beginning to detect a similar phenomenon in companies touting a characteristic particularly close to my heart: the use of “data” to describe a value inherent in the business. And in many if not most cases, it’s not true and I’m not buying.
It doesn’t take a genius to know that data is everywhere, and that it is growing exponentially across virtually every dimension: bigger, faster, deeper – and perhaps even more messy. Every business uses and generates data, but this doesn’t begin to capture what it means to be a data-driven enterprise or where data is viewed as a discrete asset and treated as such. It is a fundamental issue of strategy and culture, and the mere presence of data is not itself an indicator of having deep and relevant data DNA. “Hey, our business generates a lot of data, BIG DATA” is a phrase I hear frequently which I assume is supposed to get me excited. It doesn’t. “Hey, we’ve got this thesis that as our business scales we’re going to build a monster data asset that can better help us attract, retain and monetize happy customers. It will help us create competitive barriers and we’re planning for this from Day 1. We’ve shared some early data with a data-hacker buddy and feel this is a promising avenue for building company value.” Hey now, NOW you’ve got my attention.
There is a world of difference between the mere presence of data (say, an inert corpus of data accumulated from customer transactions) and its activation (putting that same data in a form that can be analyzed in real-time to provide intelligence about trends, pricing, feature attributes, etc. and classified and stored in a way that subjects itself well for future analysis). The data-driven enterprise will embody the notion of creating and leveraging its data asset in everything it does, and will use it to drive current and future decision-making, not merely retrospective analysis. There isn’t some checklist to determine if a business has a deep data culture or not; believe me, if you are one you know it. And if you toss around labels that sound good but ring hollow as there isn’t a bridge between headline and application, then, well, you probably lack the culture I’m describing.
There isn’t anything wrong with not being a data-driven enterprise. I mean, we all can’t be data-driven, can we? Well… I take that back. There is something wrong if a business isn’t data-driven in some way. Online or offline, it doesn’t matter. Commerce generates data. Businesses need to learn from and leverage data to remain competitive and grow. Whether you operate a barber shop, an enterprise software business or sell virtual goods online you have the potential for creating a valuable data asset. But I’m here to ask you a simple question: “Where’s the beef?” Because without it don’t talk about it: just get it. It’s never too late to adapt but it requires core cultural change, and half-hearted efforts simply won’t work. Just as building an online culture has been critical for all businesses to compete in the 2000s, building a data culture has become an essential element for success in the 2010s and beyond.
