“From the officer who arrests criminals to the doorman who greets you when you arrive at a hotel, uniforms are an integral part of any customer-facing business,” said Richard Lerman, President and CEO of the NAUMD. “This year’s winners are a dynamic group of companies who have created a competitive edge in their businesses by placing a strong focus on the image of their staff.”

For more than 31 years, the NAUMD’s Image of the Year Awards honor uniform manufacturers and distributors that have mastered the concept of fashion and function within image and market planning. Specifically designed to assist in identifying staff and professionals, imagewear can also extend a company’s brand, increase safety, enhance interior décor and improve employee morale. Winners in each category represent apparel programs with distinct purposes or functions within their industry.

In Season Two of “JONAS,” rock stars Kevin, Joe and Nick Lucas have landed in Los Angeles, where they have rented a Hollywood Hills house and will experience a summer like no other when their relaxing vacation turns into three life-changing opportunities: Joe lands a prized role in a big Hollywood film, Kevin indulges his newfound passion for the movie business by shadowing a famous director, and Nick takes up surfing and feverishly works on his first passion – writing songs for the new JONAS album. Completing the entourage are the guys’ best friends, Stella Malone, who continues to grapple with being more than just a friend to Joe, and Macy Misa, who keeps all the fans up to date with her JONAS V-log.

Recurring guest stars are Debi Mazar (“Entourage”) as Mona, the mercurial and eccentric film director at the helm of the movie Joe stars in; Adam Hicks (of Disney XD’s “Zeke and Luther”) as DZ, the brothers’ posturing neighbor; and Abby Pivaronas (“Lincoln Heights”) as Vanessa Page, Joe’s beautiful movie co-star. Chaperoning the fun are the Lucas Brothers’ friend and chief of security, Big Man (played by Jonas Brothers’ real-life chief of security, Rob Feggans), and Stella’s Aunt Lisa, played by Beth Crosby (“All My Children”). Throughout the season, “JONAS” will feature all-new original songs performed by Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas.

“JONAS” is executive-produced by Lester Lewis (“The Office,” “The Larry Sanders Show”) and Paul Hoen (director and co-producer of “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” DGA Award-winning director of “Jump In!,” and “The Cheetah Girls One World,” among others). The series was created by Roger S.H. Schulman and Michael Curtis.

While parents and children prepare to offer their day of volunteer service in 2010, two families will share their encouraging stories during the parade telecast of how they’ve made a difference by volunteering in their hometown communities, the inspiring motives that moved them to give back and the lessons their children have taken with them along the way.

Even the Disneyland portion, which tapes first (and already has, earlier this month), seemed to be a big surprise as reporters scrambled to try to get a hint as to who might show.

But as for the Walt Disney World portion, a listing for the special on TV.com offers up a list of celebrities which meshes (for the most part) with the list of artists who were part of the Disneyland portion. Although Anika Noni Rose, Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani are missing from the cast list, it does properly list Selena Gomez, Stevie Wonder, Demi Lovato and host Ryan Seacrest.

Which, by process of elimination, leaves the WDW portion of the parade to include: American Idol winner Kris Allen, Disney Records recording artist newcomer Steve Rushton and Celine Dion. Of course just as with the Disneyland portion, there still remains plenty of room for additional surprise performers.

The non-surprise is that Live hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa are listed as hosts this year.

Update #1: December 3 – It’s being reported that — in addition to Kris Allen – Yanni and the Jonas Brothers are performing in the televised parade.

Update #2: December 4 – Regis Philbin will not be co-hosting this year due to recovery from recent surgery. Kelly Ripa will act as the sole host for the Walt Disney World portion and Nick Canon will be providing ‘man on the street’ type interviews

“Both JONAS and Sonny with a Chance will deliver fresh new interactive experiences for fans,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “Filled with memorable moments with favorite characters, these DS games allow players to deepen their engagement with both shows with hours of lighthearted fun.”

JONAS for DS is inspired by the Disney Channel Original Series starring the Jonas Brothers, whose characters juggle everyday school and family life as it collides with the pop star world. The game lets fans play as three of the hottest rock stars on the planet, Nick, Joe and Kevin Lucas. Players help the band, JONAS, tear up the stage in six concerts, hang out with friends Macy and Stella, and visit locations such as the brothers’ firehouse and school as seen on the TV show.

JONAS also features popular tunes sung by the Jonas Brothers on the show, including “Live to Party,” “Keep It Real” and “Why,” which players can jam to in performance mode. In addition, players can customize the brothers’ outfits for cool looks in school and in performance mode. In story mode, players collect musical notes to power up their guitars and then strike the right guitar chords to overcome obstacles.

Sonny with a Chance for DS is inspired by the show within a show called “So Random,” a popular sketch comedy show for kids. Sonny Munroe, played by Demi Lovato, is the talented 16-year-old who moves from Wisconsin to Los Angeles to join the cast. The game gives players the opportunity to experience completely random and humorous events with the “So Random” cast, Sonny, Tawni, Nico, Grady and Zora, as they compete in more than 40 mini-games, with two designed exclusively for Nintendo DSi.

Inspired by familiar episodes seen on “Sonny With A Chance,” the mini-games include pie throwing, puzzle solving, races, rhythm-based games and

“Hollywood Records has been an incredible partner for us as a band,” say the Jonas Brothers. “Working with exciting new talent and producing music for them is a natural evolution in our careers and we couldn’t be more excited to have our friends from Honor Society be one of the first artists we will help launch.”

Added Disney Music Group Chairman Bob Cavallo, “We are delighted to form this label with the Jonas Brothers. Kevin, Joe and Nick have a keen ability to find and nurture talent, even guiding them through the studio as songwriters and producers. Their talents are truly impressive.”

Honor Society’s infectious new summer song and their first official single, “Where Are You Now,” was released on July 21. The single is taken from the soundtrack to the upcoming film, BANDSLAM (Summit Entertainment and Walden Media) starring Aly Michalka, Vanessa Hudgens, Gaelen Connell and Lisa Kudrow which premieres in theatres on August 14. See link below to watch the video for “Where Are You Now.”

Honor Society – “Where Are You Now”

Since the Spring, Honor Society has been named a breakout band to watch by Rolling Stone, identified as a Buzzworthy artist by MTV and earned an opening spot on one of the biggest tours of the summer as they join the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks on the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009. Their explosive growth is due in large part to the band’s intensely loyal fan base they built from the ground up on MySpace and YouTube. Honor Society’s potent pop rock sound, skilled musicianship, energetic live shows and sense of style has led to over 3 million plays of their music on their MySpace artist profile page. In addition to recently selling out famed live music venues such as New York’s Fillmore Theater at Irving Plaza and the House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, the band is currently headlining their own club tour called The Full Moon Crazy Tour.

Honor Society is:
Michael Bruno – lead vocals, guitar
Andrew Lee – bass, backing vocals

In addition to the Jonas Brothers’ # 1 debut in the US, Lines, Vines and Trying Times debuted # 1 in Canada, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Central America. Jonas Brothers hosted and performed their hit singles “Paranoid” and “Burning Up” this weekend on the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. Lines, Vines and Trying Times also debuted top ten in the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, New Zealand and Ireland.

Jonas Brothers have built an astounding presence on line, and boast 1.2 million Facebook friends, 1.3 million mySpace friends and 1.3 million Say Now friends. On YouTube, they are the # 1 most subscribed musician channel and # 5 overall. It is no surprise that Lines, Vines and Trying Times catapulted to # 1 on iTunes on its first day.

Jonas Brothers created a media frenzy leading up to the release of their new album. They held weekly Facebook chats with their fans, taking their questions, and previewing songs from the new album. They performed live on The Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America in Central Park, Jimmy Kimmel Live from Wembley Arena, and to the largest crowd in history at The Today Show in Rockefeller Plaza. Jonas Brothers were also guests on Larry King Live, and received 8 nominations for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. Jonas Brothers also return for their second cover story in ten months for Rolling Stone with the new issue hitting stands this Friday. Their cover from last year was the magazine’s highest selling issue of the year.

Critics have taken note of their authentic musicality. The New York Times stated, “On ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’ the Jonas Brothers continue to specialize in the smartly straightforward: neatly constructed pop-rock songs with shades of the Beatles and the Brill Building.” Billboard’s review stated, “‘Paranoid’ furthers the brothers’ evolution as craftsmen of catchy and original-sounding hooks. This songs shines on its own musical merit.”

Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 sold nearly 1 million tickets in its first week on sale, and this Spring, they played to over 200,000 fans in
