SINGAPORE, April 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) A Chorus Line, one of Broadway's most celebrated musicals, is set to be performed in Singapore this May in a spectacular production.

Telling the individual stories of 17 dancers whose lives have led them to a bare audition hall and a dream of appearing on the Broadway stage, the show debuted in 1975 and became one of the longest-running productions of all time.

It earned 12 Tony nominations, winning nine, while also claiming the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1976 and eventually spawning a 1985 film version starring Michael Douglas.

Tickets are available online now from S$55 (GBP27.40), with the most expensive VIP passes coming in at S$165.

Patrons are advised that the show contains strong language and some mature themes, while audience members must be seated 15 minutes before the performance starts.

Study finds link between injectable contraceptives and breast cancer risk in younger women

2012-04-05

SEATTLE – The first large-scale U.S.-based study to evaluate the link between an injectable form of progestin-only birth control and breast cancer risk in young women has found that recent use of a year or more doubles the risk. The results of the study, led by breast cancer epidemiologist Christopher I. Li, M.D., Ph.D., of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, are published online ahead of the April 15 print issue of Cancer Research.

Sexual objectification of female artists in music videos exists regardless of race, MU study finds

2012-04-05

COLUMBIA, Mo. ¬— Popular music videos have been criticized as having misogynistic messages and images. While more female music artists have gained visibility and created successful "brands" in recent years, critics argue that many of these artists are pushing the boundaries of acceptable norms with regard to race, gender and sexuality in popular culture. Cynthia Frisby, an associate professor of strategic communication in the University of Missouri School of Journalism, and Jennifer Aubrey, an associate professor in the department of communication in the University of Missouri ...

Income inequality and distrust foster academic dishonesty

2012-04-05

College professors and students are in an arms race over cheating. Students find new sources for pre-written term papers; professors find new ways to check the texts they get for plagiarized material. But why are all these young people cheating? A new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests one reason: income inequality, which decreases the general trust people have toward each other. Lukas Neville, a doctoral student at Queen's University in Ontario, was inspired to do the study by his own teaching experience. ...

Free apps drain smartphone energy on 'advertising modules'

2012-04-05

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers have shown that popular free smartphone apps spend up to 75 percent of their energy tracking the user's geographical location, sending information about the user to advertisers and downloading ads. "It turns out the free apps aren't really free because they contain the hidden cost of reduced battery life," said Y. Charlie Hu, a Purdue University professor of electrical and computer engineering. Because smartphone batteries must be small and lightweight, power consumption is a major issue, the researcher said. He has led work to create ...

Quantum computer built inside a diamond

2012-04-05

Diamonds are forever – or, at least, the effects of this diamond on quantum computing may be. A team that includes scientists from USC has built a quantum computer in a diamond, the first of its kind to include protection against "decoherence" – noise that prevents the computer from functioning properly. The demonstration shows the viability of solid-state quantum computers, which – unlike earlier gas- and liquid-state systems – may represent the future of quantum computing because they can be easily scaled up in size. Current quantum computers are typically very small ...
