The Arkansas State Police, in conjunction with www. arkansas.gov (Information Network of Arkansas, INA), is working to get missing children back to their families through the improved Morgan Nick Amber Alert activation system.
"Nick exemplifies the spirit of 'America's Got Talent' with his talent, originality and an infectious love of performing and creating," NBC head of alternative programming Paul Telegdy said. "His popularity and appeal are sure to take the series to a new level of success."

The alert system is named after Morgan Nick, a six-year-old girl who was abducted June 9, 1995, while she was playing at a baseball field in Alma, Ark., with her friends. According to the Morgan Nick Amber Alert Field Operations Manuel, Morgan was catching fireflies with her friends at the baseball park when she went missing. "Although Morgan has not been located, from the search for this child grew a spirit of dedication from state and community leaders, law enforcement agencies across the state and Colleen Nick, Morgan's mother, to insure Arkansas parents and law enforcement have a means to quickly spread the word when a child is abducted," according to the Morgan Nick Amber Alert Web site.

Actor-singer Nick Cannon has signed a deal with NBC that includes hosting its summer reality show "America's Got Talent."

On the series' upcoming fourth season, Cannon will succeed Jerry Springer, who bowed out last week.

Cannon is the third host for "Talent," which launched in 2006 with Regis Philbin as emcee.

"Nick exemplifies the spirit of 'America's Got Talent' with his talent, originality and an infectious love of performing and creating," NBC head of alternative programming Paul Telegdy said. "His popularity and appeal are sure to take the series to a new level of success."

The hosting gig is part of deal Cannon negotiated with NBC that involves unspecified future projects.

"This is just the first of multiple projects we are looking to do with Nick at NBC," NBC co-chair Ben Silverman said. "He's a true triple threat: a multitalented producer, actor and musician."
