The Lady Gaga AMA 2009 performance was stunning. Of course Lady Gaga is used to shocking the world but that was hard to do in the wake of Adam Lambert's...strange...performance. Lady Gaga did
Lady Gaga AMA 2009: Amazing Act by Lady Gaga at 2009 AMAs Despite Losing Breakthrough Artist Award do a stunning performance of her new hit "Bad Romance" of which the music video has become an international hit.
The most amazing thing about the Lady Gaga AMA performance was of course the artist's costumes. The backup singers were wearing something that could only be described as "indescribable" and Lady Gaga faced hermaphrodite rumors head-on by wearing a fake you-know-what in front of her lower area. I love it when stars play to the rumors and don't get offended by Hollywood trash talk!
The most disappointing thing about Lady Gaga and the AMAs is that she lost the T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist of the Year to a group called Gloriana. Now I have never heard of Gloriana before but I guess that she's a "breakthrough" star.
According to Utica OD.com Gloriana is a Nashville-based band. They won the "On Your Side" award from Nationwide at the 2009 CMT Awards. Obviously we will be seeing more of this group.
I think we will be seeing more of Lady Gaga. She's been compared to Michael Jackson in that she's a phenomenal choreographer and has a very creative feel in her music videos. In fact the music video for "Bad Romance" features a variety of scenes including one where Lady Gaga and her backup dancers are in strange white costumes and dancing around pod-like coffins. The scene has been compared to that of Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
Lady Gaga's AMA performance started out when the singer came out dressed in a flesh-colored body suit. She started singing "Bad Romance" and then transitioned in to "Speechless."
"Speechless" was written for her dad.

katelynn johnson
TUCSON Ariz. -- Arizona coach Mike Stoops called Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti to express concern for the health of a Ducks cheerleader who was hit in the head by a water bottle thrown from the grandstand on Saturday night.
Katelynn Johnson suffered a concussion as the Ducks celebrated a 44-41 double-overtime victory in Arizona Stadium. She was carted off the field and taken to the hospital where she was treated and released.
An Oregon spokesman said Johnson returned to Eugene on Sunday.
Speaking at his weekly campus news conference on Monday Stoops called the incident "disturbing."

global warming emails
Video: Global warming emails reveal a smoking gun but does it fire blanks?

The global warming emails are firing up critics. AP Photo Eugene Hoshiko
The climate change skeptics believe that they have finally found their proof that global warming is all a myth propped up by scientists and various organizations. The "smoking gun" are 61MB's of emails that were hacked from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit. The emails contain various statements which seem to suggest the purposeful manipulation of data by scientists to conceal cooling trends. In addition some emails seem to suggest that scientists worked to keep the work of skeptics from being published or recognized. Copies of many of the emails can be read here. Some of the highlights include the following quotes:
"I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
I think we have to stop considering Climate Research as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to or cite papers in this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…What do others think?"
For sure the quotes are damning but needless to say the climate change consensus has not yet waved the white flag of surrender. One of the scientists involved in the email said that the "trick" involved with date simply involved a way of solving a data problem not an intent to deceive. Anyone who hangs out with math nerds for any amount of time knows that they use various "tricks" to solve problems. Another chief climatologist notes that reading the entire exchange of emails rather than selective quotes actually reveals the "integrity of these scientists" who were merely talking about science.
It is also worth noting that the emails only involve one group of scientists out of the thousands who research and work on climate change. The emails also deal with a very limited set of data and do not discredit the numerous other studies and models showing an increase in CO2 levels and temperatures across the globe. In fact as Fox News released the article above which details the email "smoking gun" they also released another article stating that CO2 levels were higher in 2008 than ever before and warning that temperatures could rise by as much as 11 degrees Farenheit by 2100. So in the end the supporters of climate change legislation argue that the email do point to a smoking gun but on that only fires blanks. Watch the latest business video at For more info: .

Week 12 2009 NFL SeasonHere are my NFL Week 12 Power Rankings. The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans will have no impact on the power rankings in respect to the top 10. Therefore these power rankings are final.
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings: 10 Philadelphia Eagles (6-4)
The Philadelphia Eagles reenter the top 10 after sneaking out of Chicago
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings Top 10Date: December 31 1969 with a 24-20 win. Similar to the rest of the NFC East the Eagles are unpredictable. The Eagles Giants or Packers could find themselves climbing the rankings quickly if they manage to get everything together. "IF."
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Redskins next Sunday. With Washington's defense could it be another trap game for the Eagles?
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings: 9. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4)
Week 11 was not good for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs was not even their main concern. Troy Polamalu could miss a month with a knee injury. Already trailing the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North the Steelers may have to take a route to the Super Bowl similar to 2006: on the road.
In the next month the Steelers play against the Ravens Browns Raiders and Packers. They need to win at least two of these or risk their position as a Wild Card participant. They will likely have to do it without Polamalu.
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings: 8. Dallas Cowboys (7-3)
The Dallas Cowboys remain at #8 after another underachieving performance against the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys are playing good defense but their offense is non-existent. In the past two games they have mustered two late touchdowns one being in garbage time. The Cowboys aren't even to December yet and they already look prone to falling apart.
The Oakland Raiders travel to Dallas for a Thanksgiving feast. After defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in week 11 and considering the Cowboys offensive struggles could we see a closer than expected contest?

UW's tournament resume could hinge on next three days
With the Big Ten stacked from top to the Iowa border even the conference champion might end up with five or even six losses in Big Ten play. Those in third fourth or even fifth place might find themselves ranked in early March despite barely finishing above .500 in the conference. You know what that means for the Big Ten's sixth seventh and eighth place finishers. Bubble bubble bubble.
That brings us the beautiful island of Hawaii where the UW men's basketball team which figures to be a factor in the Big Ten race can do themselves a big favor in the next three days by stacking their tournament resume with a couple quality victories and even a quality loss.
The Maui Invitational commences at 2 p.m. CT and a lineup that usually includes two or three Top 15 teams has been replaced with three or four teams that are looking to sneak up on the national competition this season.
It's a tournament that won't be easy but is certainly winnable for the Badgers. No matter what happens it's very likely the Badgers will be looking back at these next three days in mid-March saying "That's when we clinched our NCAA Tournaent berth" or "That's when we lost it."
Imagine if UW can just reach the Maui Invitational Championship Game. The Badgers could possibly play Arizona Gonzaga and Maryland in three straight days before capping off a four-game stretch with Duke next week at the Kohl Center. Even just a 2-2 record in that stretch would go a long way. A 3-1 record would be nothing short of a success.
So how does the Maui Invitational breakdown? Let's take a look at the field:
Top Half of the Bracket
No. 21 Maryland vs. Chaminade - 8:30 p.m. CT ESPN U - Line: Maryland -26
Maryland - Led by All-American candidate Greivis Vasquez the Terps are certainly a favorite in Maui if not the favorite. After a second round exit in the NCAA Tournament last season Maryland returns four starters and has two capable freshmen centers ready to step in and play.
Chaminade - The Division II host team made headlines when it upset No. 1 Virginia in 1982 but it doesn't figure to be a factor in any games this week. Maybe if Chaminade faces Colorado Wednesday it could pull off a win.
Cincinnati vs. No. 24 Vanderbilt - 4:30 p.m. CT ESPN 2 - Line: Vanderbilt -4
Cincinnati - The Bearcats figure to finish in the bottom half of the Big East this season after tying for ninth last year. Head coach Mick Cronin is doing a good job repairing a fractured program and Cincinnati could challenge Maryland if it can get by Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt - The Vandals are a sleeper in the SEC after failing to reach a post-season tournament last season. They are also a sleeper in Maui and like Cincy Vanderbilt is capable of upsetting Maryland if it can get out of the first round.
Bottom Half of the Bracket
Gonzaga vs. Colorado - 2 p.m. CT ESPN 2 - Line: Gonzaga -10.5
Gonzaga - The Zags had a case for jumping into the rankings this week even after losing at Michigan State. They looked impressive in East Lansing and nearly pulled off the upset. Sophomore forward Robert Sacre looks like a star in the making and Gonzaga's front court is the most loaded in this tournament.
Colorado - Basketball is never the story in Boulder and it won't be this season either. Colorado returns four starters but does that matter when they are coming off a 1-15 performance in Big 12 play last season?
Wisconsin vs. Arizona - 11 p.m. ESPN 2 - Line: Wisconsin -4
Wisconsin - The Badgers are a sleeper in this tournament but they will have to get past Arizona before they can make any noise. This figures to be a balanced offense but UW really needs either Trevon Hughes or Jason Bohannon to make a run at tournament MVP if they figure to win this thing.
Arizona - Sean Miller -- the hot coaching commodity in the offseason -- takes over a program that lost three starters but still boasts senior guard Nic Wise who will be a handful for Hughes. Miller's outstanding recruiting class will have to play older immediately if the Wildcats want to challenge for the Maui crown.
Ranking the Field
1. Gonzaga
2. Maryland
3. Wisconsin
4. Arizona

youtube adam lambert american music awards
Jennifer Lopez falls at American Music Awards (with video)
November 23 12:15 PMTV Trends ExaminerReid Kerr
Subscribe
The American Music Awards last night had their share of "Holy @%$!" moments with Adam Lambert (video) Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga all making performances that have people talking and checking Youtube this morning.
Jennifer Lopez made her musical return last night as well in a performance as notable for a miscue as for anything else. She performed her new song "Louboutins" with a phalanx of dancers dressed as boxers.
Check out the video if you'd like to fast-forward to the fall start watching around the 2:50 mark.
Two things about this one show that Lopez is still a star. To start with she didn't miss a beat on the fall. That was a pretty good jump she landed flat and bounced right back up.
Here's the difference between Lopez (a star) and me (a schlep). Lopez falls after climbing a staircase made of human beings and literally standing on the back of a guy while belting out her notice to the world that she has returned. Meanwhile I stub my little toe on the side of the refrigerator in the middle of the night coming to raid the fridge and I have to call in sick the next day and I limp for a week.
Yep she's still got it.
Update: Most of the YouTube clips have been pulled thanks to Dick Clark's well-trained team of lawyers. I've found another clip watch it while you still can.
For more: Check out Reid's column on Adam Lambert at the AMAs or these videos of Adam Lambert on the American Idol tour.

dressing recipe
Heaping plates nullify Thanksgiving calorie cuts
By MICHAEL HILL

5 hours ago
Good news this Thanksgiving: Compared to 50 years ago some staples of the Turkey Day table have fewer calories.
The bad news? It probably won't matter because most Americans will eat too much anyway.
While Americans are notorious for cranking up the calories and portions compared to a generation or so ago small changes in the nation's diet seem to have buffered Thanksgiving dinner from some — but not all — of our bigger-better mentality.
To find out just what has changed about America's official gut-busting dinner The Associated Press asked Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab to analyze recipes from the 1950s and compare them to contemporary versions.
Previous studies of non-Thanksgiving recipes by lab director Brian Wansink had found that calorie counts for many classic cookbook recipes have ballooned by nearly 40 percent during the past 70 years.
But Thanksgiving staples didn't follow that trend.
Calorie counts for five of the eight recipes tested actually dropped by almost a third when comparing 1956 Better Homes and Gardens recipes to the 2006 edition of the "Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook" changes Wansink attributed partly to the use of lower-calorie ingredients such as low-fat milk instead of cream. Surprisingly some serving sizes went down over the decades too.
Per-serving calorie counts dropped an average of 102 calories for green beans with almonds stuffing mashed potatoes candied sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. They went up 26 calories for rolls and were essentially unchanged for corn and candied carrots.
That puts the total calorie count for a contemporary Thanksgiving dinner of those eight fixings plus a turkey drumstick at 2057 calories. The tally for 1956 was 2539 according to Cornell researcher Laura Smith.
But those numbers are accurate only if you eat proper serving sizes. And when was the last time you carefully measured out 6 ounces of candied sweet potatoes or called it a day after just one roll? Especially on Thanksgiving.
Wansink's research repeatedly has shown that controlling portions is not something Americans today are skilled at.
"There might be a little less butter put in the dressing or there might be fewer marshmallows on the sweet potatoes" he says. "But where you end up messing with them you end up serving up a lot more than your grandfather served himself."
Meals served at home have followed the same trend as restaurant and packaged food portions — more more more.
Even the plates on which Thanksgiving is served have grown since a generation ago (by more than a third according to Wansink's studies). By today's sensibilities older china sets seem more fitting for tapas than Turkey Day.
And Wansink's research has shown a link between larger plates and larger portions. Put simply a little lump of mashed potatoes can look awfully lonely on a foot-wide plate. The same dynamic works with wine consumption. Today's bigger glasses get bigger pours.
Wansink added that even in cases where recipes are about the same size today's families are smaller. That means more per person.
Even the turkeys are bigger. Today's big-breasted birds on average are 10 pounds heavier at slaughter compared to 1950 according to federal data. Recipes from the '50s actually included roasting instructions for 5-pound birds. Good luck finding one that small today.
Joan Salge Blake a nutrition professor at Boston University and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association thinks the tradition-bound nature of the Thanksgiving meal probably played a role in keeping the recipe calorie counts down.
"These are Grandma's recipes" which are less likely to change over generations she says.
Nancy Hopkins deputy editor of food and entertaining for Better Homes and Gardens isn't surprised by Wansink's findings. She says her company has responded to consumers who increasingly ask for healthier options including for Thanksgiving.
To see a real calorie spike all you have to do is compare Thanksgiving today to 1621 the year of the feast that inspired the holiday.
The menu enjoyed by the settlers and their Wampanoag guests — commonly knows now as the Pilgrims and Indians — is lost to history. But the limited clues available point to tables loaded with venison and wildfowl according to Kathleen Wall colonial foodways culinarian at Plimoth Plantation at Plymouth Mass. Other dishes may have included lobster mussels boiled greens and pumpkins.
But forget the fancy sides.
The Pilgrims probably had no potatoes in 1621 and if they had butter and sugar it came over on the Mayflower the year before. There was no dough so no pies. They may have eaten cranberries but not as a sweetened sauce. The birds probably were stuffed with little more than quartered onions and parsley Wall said.
The likely calorie count? A settler who gave thanks with a turkey drumstick some lobster boiled spinach and stewed pumpkin washed down by water — sorry no beer or wine yet — probably only ingested about 550 calories.
No fancy fatty stuff for the settlers who came over on the Mayflower. Salge jokes "they would have sunk the ship."

bfads.net 2009
November 23 2009 7:02 AM PST Rating the Black Friday laptop doorbuster deals by Font size
There's certainly no shortage of coverage about Black Friday tech sales and savvy shoppers have no doubt already scoped out their favorite deals from the leaked ad scans and early deals posted on sites such as BFads.net.
We've scanned some of the ads and picked several potentially promising Black Friday deals including limited-time special offers in order to give you some context on what constitutes a good doorbuster deal and what's just a bust.
Note that many of the prices cited below are only available during the early hours of Friday morning.
Sony NW235 $399 Best Buy
Intel Pentium Dual Core; 4GB RAM; 320GB hard drive; 15-inch screen
Unlike some of the cheapest Celeron laptops out there we find models such as this with an Intel dual-core CPU to fit the basic definition of usability. Best Buy is offering this as a Friday doorbuster with a minimum of 10 per store (ticket required). We've typically seen similar systems for around $500.
HP G60-507DX $197 Best Buy
Intel Celeron; 2GB RAM 160GB hard drive 15-inch screen
A full-size laptop for under $200 may seem tempting but we suggest you avoid any Celeron-powered systems. The nearly Netbook-level performance will definitely disappoint in a15-inch laptop. This is also a limited-quantity doorbuster and would normally sell for around $350-$400.
eMachines eME627 $198 Walmart
AMD Athlon 64; 2GB RAM; 160GB hard drive; 15-inch screen
As Acer/Gateway's nearly forgotten entry-level brand you don't hear a lot about eMachines these days. This deal is available 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Black Friday but we're still adamant that your expectations must be kept pretty low.
HP G71-329wm $398 Walmart
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600; 4GB RAM; 320GB hard drive; 17-inch screen
If it indeed has the standard Intel Core 2 Duo CPU we've seen reported (the Walmart site doesn't say) then this is a good deal for a basic desktop replacement laptop. While not technically a doorbuster quantities are limited.
HP Pavilion (model unknown); $379 OfficeMax
AMD Sempron; 3GB RAM; 160GB hard drive; 15-inch screen
Remember how we said you should avoid a Celeron-powered midsize laptop? Same goes for AMD's Sempron processor. We've seen similar systems for around $399 so it's not even much of a bargain.
Delstar DS700 $119 K-Mart
CPU unknown; 128MB RAM; 2GB SSD; 7-inch screen
It's like the first prototype Netbook ever made crawled out of the primordial swamps and stuck a "for sale" sticker on itself. Hopefully we don't have to tell you to avoid this Windows CE system with components more typical for a mobile phone even if it is being offered for $120 (down from the usual $150) as a Black Friday doorbuster.
Toshiba Satellite L505-S5984 $399 Best Buy
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500; 3GB RAM; 250GB hard drive; 15-inch screen
A real Intel Core 2 Duo CPU for the price of an HP Mini 311 Netbook. Considering it's only $50 more than the non-Black-Friday price of a typical Celeron-powered Toshiba this is a decent mainstream deal.
New York native Dan Ackerman a former radio DJ turned journalist has written about technology and music for publications including Spin Blender The Hollywood Reporter and USA Today.

If it indeed has the standard Intel Core 2 Duo CPU we've seen reported (the Walmart site doesn't say) then this is a good deal for a basic desktop replacement laptop. While not technically a doorbuster quantities are limited.
HP Pavilion (model unknown); $379 OfficeMax
AMD Sempron; 3GB RAM; 160GB hard drive; 15-inch screen
Remember how we said you should avoid a Celeron-powered midsize laptop? Same goes for AMD's Sempron processor. We've seen similar systems for around $399 so it's not even much of a bargain.
Delstar DS700 $119 K-Mart
CPU unknown; 128MB RAM; 2GB SSD; 7-inch screen
It's like the first prototype Netbook ever made crawled out of the primordial swamps and stuck a "for sale" sticker on itself. Hopefully we don't have to tell you to avoid this Windows CE system with components more typical for a mobile phone even if it is being offered for $120 (down from the usual $150) as a Black Friday doorbuster.
Toshiba Satellite L505-S5984 $399 Best Buy
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500; 3GB RAM; 250GB hard drive; 15-inch screen
A real Intel Core 2 Duo CPU for the price of an HP Mini 311 Netbook. Considering it's only $50 more than the non-Black-Friday price of a typical Celeron-powered Toshiba this is a decent mainstream deal.

whitney houston ama performance
Whitney Houston’s AMA performance marks the singers comeback
November 24 2009 By samron in Awards
Whitney Houston one of entertainment’s famous singer/actress has made a comeback on the American Music Awards 2009. Houston performed at the AMA’s last night to a cheering crowd of fans
What made Whitney different from the other performers at the AMAs was the fact that she only let her voice do all the performing – figuratively speaking. She did not get into anything bold nor headline grabbing worthy nor seductive but she let her powerful voice win over the audience.
The “I will always love you†singer performed her new track – I Didn’t Know My Own Strength- and the soulful voice of hers reflects the Diva that Whitney truly is.
Other acts in the evening made headlines only because of their “shock factor” but Whitney made it because of her music – after all this is what Music Awards are all about.

Singer shocks primetime audience
Calls cut of performance "discrimination"
ShowBUZZ shooting stars
AMERICAN Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has refused to apologise for his daring performance at the American Music Awards where he simulated oral sex with a male dancer.
In front of millions of primetime viewers Lambert also made out with a male keyboardist Tommy Ratliff grabbing his crotch before flipping his middle finger to the crowd.
Lambert who was performing his new single For Your Entertainment has come under fire from some who believe that the exploits were too much for TV.
The View’s Sherri Shepherd twittered: “Did Adam Lambert just grind some dude's head in his crotch... TO MY NIECE... GO TO BED NOW!”
“And did Adam Lambert slip the tongue to one of his dancers???? Whoa... Celibate woman here... turning off TV now...”
The openly gay Lambert has refused to apologise saying that the sexual gestures happened “in the moment”.
He told Access Hollywood: “You know honestly if I offended some people... it’s apples and oranges.”
“I’m not an artist that does things for every single person I believe in artistic freedom and expression I believe in honouring the lyrics of a song and those lyrics aren't really for everybody either.”
The controversial moments of the performance were cut before being shown on the US west coast a move that Lambert labelled as “discrimination”.
Rolling Stone reported that none of Lambert’s sexual gestures were cleared by the event organisers before the show went live.
Earlier in the evening Michael Jackson took out four posthumous awards while Taylor Swift was crowned Artist of the Year.

ama awards 2009 performances
J. Lo fell on stage Adam Lambert’s performance raised um eyebrows with his crotch-kicking oral-sex referencing performance and Taylor Swift continued her award-winning dominance by grabbing Artist of the Year. It’s the 2009 American Music Awards which is apparently something about which people now care.
The ceremony which took place last night saw actress Jennifer Lopez make a case for herself as a candidate for the Three Stooges remake by having a little spill on the AMA floor. Happens to the best of us so no worries J. Lo! Watch the video of her spill here:
To be fair J. Lo was climbing a staircase of man-meat which looks like an attempted feat that is as ludicrous as it is unsafe. The fact that she only had a minor slip appears to be a miracle.
And what about Adam Lambert? That’s a thing right? Well apparently it’s a thing that has a penchant for face-humping as this clip from his AMA performance indicates (take a look at about the 1:00 minute mark). Between this and the J. Lo performance it was bondage night at the 2009 AMAs. It’s as if someone looked at old Cirque Du Solei footage and said “I think that’s a little too restrained. Let’s try something with a little more zazz!” Sure award shows have lots of spectacle but this is kind of out-of-control. Apparently crotch-grinding is still transgressive? Like Michael Jackson transgressive?
But do you want to know who’s in control right now? Of music of life of not being interrupted by Kanye West? You guessed it. Frank Stallone. No! I mean Taylor Swift. Swift won the Artist of the Year proving that blond girls with pretty songs and pretty guitars never ceases to impress the general population. So hot damn!
Speaking of hot how about Lady Gaga doing that running-in-place dance over and over again? If nothing else she proved that she’d make a heck of an aerobic instructor. One-and-two-and-three-and-four!

Jennifer Lopez falls during AMA performance [video]
SHOT OF THE DAY
You would think that the water cooler talk today would be that country starlette Taylor Swift beat the late Michael Jackson for the artist of the year award at the American Music Awards on Sunday night. However the AMA talk today is around Jennifer Lopez and her onstage fall.
Lopez took a pretty embarassing fall during the performance of her single "Louboutins."
During a pretty complex dance routine of jumping over people and off of others Lopez whiped out after landing from a stunt.
J.Lo is of course fine. I think she only bruised her ego.

Jennifer Lopez falls during AMAs (video)

Sunday night during the American Music Awards (AMAs) Jennifer Lopez fell during a live performance. Lopez walked up a staircase of men and jumped down after reaching the top she landed on her feet and then quickly slipped and fell. She jumped up quickly and acted like it didn’t happen. So if you weren’t paying close attention during the live performance you may not have noticed. See the video below.
The theme to Jennifer Lopez’s dance was boxing so all of the dancers were in boxing shorts and so was she. There were many quick jab-like moves and this almost appeared to be one of them but rest assured she fell.

'American Idol:' did Adam Lambert expose double standard?
November 23 4:48 PMDallas TV ExaminerMatt Carter

Viewers on the West Coast didn't see Adam Lambert's moves.
Susana Capra / AEG Events Examiner
Adam Lambert isn't just generating controversy for the quality of his American Music Awards performance on Sunday night; he is also drawing out comments from gay and lesbian advocacy groups who claim ABC and Dick Clark Productions' decision to censor the "American Idol" runner-up's dance moves on the west coast feed was due to there being a pre-existing "double standard." Adam at one point thrust a man's head close to his crotch while performing single "For Your Entertainment."
After the performance gay rights publication The Advocate gave a statement to Radar Online:
“In his first major television performance outside 'American Idol' Adam Lambert delivered the sexually charged number we expected from him last night on the AMAs. It was reminiscent of other envelope-pushing performances by provocative artists like Madonna and Janet Jackson. It’s unfortunate that ABC and Dick Clark Productions censored the performance for west coast audiences highlighting the double standard that still exists for gay entertainers.”
ABC meanwhile took a more innocent stance on the issue claiming that "due to the live nature of the show [they] did not expect the impromptu moment in question.”
Adam Lambert has already mentioned publicly that he does not want his homosexuality to define his musical career. He recently was embroiled in some controversy with Out Magazine after failing to fully support their agenda as a gay man.
Did you think that Lambert's AMA performance was too risque for TV? Let me know your thoughts with a comment below and stay tuned for more "American Idol" news.

Gonzaga defeats Colorado in opening round of 2009 Maui Invitational
November 23 3:10 PMSpokane Headlines ExaminerRyan Gamble

Coach Mark Few (pictured) has to like what he saw on Monday.
Dirk Hansen
Gonzaga beat Colorado in the Maui Invitational on Monday. The Gonzaga vs. Colorado game was in the first round of the 2009 Maui Invitational and marked a very exciting game that saw Gonzaga come back after being down late. The win means that Gonzaga will now take on the winner of the Arizona vs. Wisconsin game happening tonight on ESPN2. The Gonzaga second round game will take place on Tuesday November 24th with tip-off coming at 6:30 P.M. PST. The 2009 Maui Invitational has a number of great teams including Gonzaga Arizona Wisconsin Vanderbilt Maryland and Cincinnati in the groupings.
The game didn't start out well for the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Monday as they were trailing early and fell behind by a score of 40 to 29 at halftime. It meant that the Bulldogs were going to have to act fast if they wanted to get back into the game and they were able to do exactly that. The team seemed really sluggish in the first half but must have received a nice pep-talk from Coach Few because they came out much stronger in the second half. First Gonzaga ripped off a big run to take the lead from Colorado and then they were able to hold them off in the closing moments to win the game 76 to 72. It was quite a swing in momentum for Gonzaga and should have them ready to go for the second round of the 2009 Maui Invitational on Tuesday.
Leading the way for Gonzaga was guard Steven Gray who scored 27 points including 11 for 14 from the free throw line. Fellow starter Matt Bouldin also chipped in 21 pints of his own with center Robert Sacre scoring an additional 10. The Gonzaga bench showed itself to not be quite as strong as hoped as they only put up eight of the 76 total points for the team. On the night Gonzaga shot 47.8% from the field and looked good on offense. Where the improvements need to come for Gonzaga is on defense because allowing Colorado to shoot 53.1% from the field just isn't going to cut it against some of the better teams in both the tournament and their conference.
With the victory Gonzaga now sits at 3-1 on the season after having lost a nail-biter to Michigan State last week. Advancing to the second round of the 2009 Maui Invitational also means that more poll voters are going to take notice of the team and that should help them attain a national ranking if they can win a couple of more games. Gonzaga looks like the team to beat in the WCC this year but they have a tough out-of-conference schedule that includes Washington State University and Wake Forest once the Maui Invitational comes to an end that could really get them the additional national recognition.

best buy black friday 2009 sales
Which Best Buy Black Friday sales are actually worth it?
Cheap? Sure. But here's a look at which of Best Buy's Black Friday sales get good scores from reviewers.
By Chris Gaylord
11.23.09
Best Buy screenshot
Best Buy Black Friday: 2009 sales features decent deals on laptops TVs and video games. But let's look past the price tags.
Pay close attention to the Giants/Broncos game on Thanksgiving day. You may pick up some important defensive tricks before braving Best Buy’s Black Friday crowd.
Best Buy reminded customers this morning that doors will open at 5 a.m. on Friday. Better bring a jacket store floor plan and maybe protective pads. Things can get ugly.
Today’s email from Best Buy included a link to their digital circular. But before you start your shopping list let’s take a moment to look past the prices and see if these deep-discount TVs laptops and video game systems are worth buying. Here are some reviews to accompany Best Buy’s 2009 sales.
Samsung 46-inch LED-LCD HDTV: User reviews sing the praises of this super-thin 1080p television. But it’s “doorbuster” Black Friday price – $1599 – seems unimpressive. Savvy shoppers can avoid the lines and pick up essentially the same TV now from Amazon for $1749. Both stores will deliver the Energy-Star-compliant TV for free. But Best Buy will sweeten the deal with free installation and will recycle your old television at no extra charge.
PlayStation 3 bundle: On Friday and Saturday shoppers can pick up the top-of-the-line video game console with two free games “Little Big Planet: Game of the Year Edition” and “Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time.” The whole package is $299. The PS3 has gained a lot of momentum from its recent price drop and solid feature set including free online play free Netflix streaming service built-in Blu-ray player and HD graphics. The bundled games also get top marks from reviewers (95 percent and 86 percent respectively according to Metacritic). Both appeal to a younger set of gamers or at least the young at heart.
Xbox 360 bundle: Numerically Best Buy pulled together an even better deal for gamers eying a new Xbox 360. But reviews may say differently. This Black Friday deal includes the high-end Elite console and six games all for $299. The Xbox itself is a great value with more online features than the PS3 a larger catalog of games and a higher install base – so more of your friends are likely to own one. But the six selected games are a little weak. Here’s the list (with review scores from Metacritic): Sonic the Hedgehog (46 percent) Spider Man: Web of Shadows (68) Wall-E (50) LEGO Batman (76) Pure (85) Ghost Recon 2 (86).
Compaq Mini Netbook: This pint-size ‘puter comes with a similarly tiny price tag: $179. The 10.1-inch laptop is a Best Buy exclusive so it’s hard to find independent reviews. But similar netbooks such as the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook cost twice as much. Remember though these itty-bitty machines are not meant to replace full-sized PCs. Netbooks trade away high-end specs for its petite frame and therefore should be secondary computers for email and light Web use.
Garmin Nuvi 205w GPS device: This entry-level GPS unit is “very good” according to CNET. The large touch screen and simple interface works wonders if you’re not expecting too many features. Best Buy’s Black Friday price $99 is a solid deal. Most retailers want between $130 and $175. More info here.
The full Best Buy Black Friday 2009 sales circular is online here. Remember: deals last from 5 a.m. Friday to Saturday evening.

Adam Lambert got Elisabeth Hasselbeck's panties in quite a wad during his Sunday

Elisabeth Hasselbeck trashes Adam Lambert AMA performance (video)
Elisabeth Hasselbeck laid into openly gay rocker Adam Lambert for his racy performance at the American Music Awards during Monday morning's "Hot Topics" discussion on The View. Elisabeth Hasselbeck stated that she found Adam Lambert's highly sexualized AMA performance to be 'really over the line'. Adam Lambert's AMA performance of his new single 'For Your Entertainment' included simulated oral sex leather leashes dry-humping and heavy male-on-male kissing so it's not a surprise that conservative crone Elisabeth Hasselbeck wasn't a fan of the display.
Internet searches for Adam Lambert's AMA performance video dominated Google Trends for most of Monday so while conservatives may be outraged by the flagrant display of unapologetic sexuality it seems that most of the world still wants to see what Adam Lambert has to offer. ABC has reported receiving multiple complaints from viewers for inappropriate network content as a result of Adam Lambert's AMA performance.

Report: Consumers not yet prepared to purchase via socnets
The latest Consumer eTail report from GSI Commerce found that while British consumers expect to spend more online during the holiday season very few said they would be likely to purchase via social networks.
by Helen Leggatt
Along with research specialists Maximiles GSI Commerce surveyed over 2000 British adults to discover more about their willingness and expectations to purchase gifts online during the coming Christmas shopping season.
Overall the news is good. A quarter of those surveyed were willing to spend over $1650 on a single product up from 12% last year and less are putting a limit on the amount they spend online.
However the survey found that consumers weren't yet prepared to purchase via social networks. Just 9% said they would be "likely" to make purchases via social sites such as Facebook or MySpace and 28% were "positively unlikely" to do so.
"Social networks are fantastic forums to listen and engage with your customers but as the data reveals at the moment in the vast majority of cases they are simply inappropriate for transactional interactions" said Steve Davis EVP & President International GSI Commerce.
"While there is no doubt that incorporating features like these will result in a corporate PR benefit to a retailer the question they need to be asking is not 'what cool stuff can we add to our store' but 'where can we add value for our customers'."

Charles Manson Is His Daddy!
Filed under: Wacky Tacky & True > Sad Sad
And we're not kidding!
Local El Lay DJ Matthew Roberts went on a search for his biological father and found a serial killer!
After locating his birth mother he discovered that his father was Charles Manson! And what's worse is that his conception was the result of a rape in 1967.
"She even said 'You look just like him'" said Roberts.
And as you could imagine the discovery sent him into a severe depression!
"I didn't want to believe it. I was frightened and angry. It's like finding out that Adolf Hitler is your father†he continued. "I'm a peaceful person - trapped in the face of a monster."
In order to confirm Roberts began exchanging mail with Manson who is detained for life at Corcoran State Prison in California.
“He sends me weird stuff and always signs it with his swastika†he continued. “At first I was stunned and depressed. I wasn't able to speak for a day. I remember not being able to eat."
Manson's response is truly disturbing when he remembered raping Terry Roberts' birth mother: "The truth is the truth. The truth hurts."
Although Matthew fears that he has characteristics that resemble his father "I'm not nuts but I've got a little bit of it. It's scary and upsetting. If I get worked up my eyes get really big and that's really freaked some people out before. I've tried to tone that down quite a bit. I don't like having that effect on people."
But he won't pick up the phone to call Manson!
"If I did talk to Charlie on the phone I would say 'I truly understand what it's like to be you more than anyone could ever imagine on so many levels.'â€
CHARLIE?!
"He's my biological father - I can't help but have some kind of emotional connection. That's the hardest thing of all - feeling love for a monster who raped my mother. I don't want to love him but I don't want to hate him either" said Roberts.
This is truly a case where ignorance is bliss!

Just for the record Barbie Charles Manson isn't a serial killer. As a matter of fact it is believed that good old Charlie never actually killed anyone. He is in jail because of conspiracy in the murder spree which his family members carried out. That poor DJ has one hell of a legacy to deal with. Rot in hell Charlie.

No good can come from further contact and frankly this information was better not having been revealed for all involved. This dude should take comfort that as long as his mental health is being attended to he need have no further worries because biology (of which he has only 50% of Manson's) is only part of who we become. The nurture over nature argument should comfort him.

Manson and Hitler were ordinary men not monsters. Pretending they were monsters is what keeps people from recognizing trouble when they see it. Their message of hope change and a new world is what identifies these men with our president.

Wow I can imagine what that feels like! Poor man! I would describe my own father - with whom I did grow up - as a mentally disturbed asshole who can't control his anger (minus all the killing of course). And I sometimes catch myself behaving the way he would short fuse and all. That's one of the most disturbing things to discover that you've got something in common with a person you're trying so hard not to be. Thank nature for the other 50% of my gene pool! Poor dude that's a lot to take in and I agree that he probably shouldn't pursue further contact with Manson! Some people just aren't worth it family or not! You gotta look out for your own good and sanity!!

Poor guy. I can't imagine how conflicted he must feel. You don't pick your gene pool but it's still your blood. I can see what he says about "I don't want to love him but I don't want to hate him." I've had friends with sh**y parents who feel the same way. Kind of reminds me of this interesting interview I saw with Jeffrey Dahmer's parents. His poor mother's face carried a burden I can't begin to imagine. She cried in sympathy for the victims' families especially their parents. But at the same time there was so much guilt with the fact that - although you can't forgive or excuse your child's actions - you can't hate your child either. This seems somewhere along these lines. Hope he can make peace for himself.

It doesn't MATTER if someone's a "biological father" when it comes to "emotional connection" or not. That is an ignorant myth. It is NOT an automatic thing. It is entirely possible to have no emotional connection WHAT SO EVER to a biologiclal relative. And I would suggest some minor medication for the guy to relieve any potential psychosis he may have inherited. There are all kinds of helpful meds out there.

How can he sit there and say " can't help but have some kind of emotional connection. That's the hardest thing of all - feeling love for a monster who raped my mother."..How the fuck can he say he has a connection to someone he didn't even know was even a remote possiblity of being his father? Plus he never met him much less talked to him. Don't you sort of need to know someone on a somewhat personal level before you can form an attachment to them. Whether it be parent or not? I mean the type of feelings are based on the type of relationshipbut still require some sort of personal involvement. I don't know… I feel bad for the guy. I think I'd rather not know in this instance.

At this point it is still just conjecture right? Lots of women who give children up for adoption pull the old I was raped thing especially in the old days when premarital sex was still taboo. She may not know who is the actual father But if it is true that doesn't mean he is a bad person because his father is.

Whatever your parents did whoever they were you are just seperate and different piece of body mind and soul. Your mind was created by your education and your upbringing.Your life itself created your "psychological me". As a adult it is up to you what kind of energies you will allow enter space of your mind (spirits ETsaliens). But it is comletely different story. Your soul has nothing but nothing to do with mind generaly specialy with mind of your father.
Just get over it man and keep focus on your own life and keep living your own life . If you start thinking to much about him you WILL connect to his mind and some entities from there may start bothering you. Just forget him sooner better.

Just more proof that the trash flows through the "streets" of LA. It's obvious Matthew Roberts feels a kinship with his fucked up father and it's disturbing.
This is his sick way of using Manson's name to promote himself. Nothing is going too far and immoral in the LA mindstate when fame is involved. Charles Manson was the same way and this thirst for fame no matter how immoral shows Matthew Roberts is just a "chip off the old block."

Whatever your parents did whoever they were you are just seperate and different piece of body mind and soul. Your mind was created by your education and your upbringing.Your life itself created your "psychological me". As a adult it is up to you what kind of energies you will allow enter space of your mind (spirits ETsaliens). But it is comletely different story. Your soul has nothing but nothing to do with mind generaly specialy with mind of your father.
Just get over it man and keep focus on your own life and keep living your own life . If you start thinking to much about him you WILL connect to his mind and some entities from there may start bothering you. Just forget him sooner better.

Wow I feel bad for him. I would have NO idea how to deal with finding out such a monster was my father. And I thought I was the one with the messed up dad but Charles Manson is in a whole different ball park.

Just more proof that the trash flows through the "streets" of LA. It's obvious Matthew Roberts feels a kinship with his fucked up father and it's disturbing.
This is his sick way of using Manson's name to promote himself. Nothing is going too far and immoral in the LA mindstate when fame is involved. Charles Manson was the same way and this thirst for fame no matter how immoral shows Matthew Roberts is just a "chip off the old block."

Sen. Blanche Lincoln gives health care 60th vote with a catch

Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas has given the 60th vote needed for the Senate health care bill to advance. The legislation will therefore come the floor for debate after Thanksgiving recess.
But Lincoln issued a warning to Senate Democrats.
She vowed to vote against the bill in the next major vote if the government-run plan the "public option" is not removed by the end of the amendment process.
“Although I don’t agree with everything in this bill I have concluded that I believe it is more important that we begin this debate to improve our nation’s health care system for all Americans rather than just simply drop the issue and walk away” Lincoln said.
She added “Attempts by the national Republican Party and other conservative groups to portray this as a vote for or against this particular health care reform bill is untrue.”
Lincoln repeatedly said that this vote was “not my last or only chance to have an impact.”
“I’m not thinking about my reelection the legacy of a president or whether Democrats or Republicans are going to be able to claim victory in winning this debate” she said in announcing her support to advance the bill to the Senate floor.
Reid is declaring victory but that celebration will be short lived if Lincoln actually blocks a bill that includes a government-run plan.
“Let me be perfectly clear” she said. “I am opposed to a new government administered health care plan as a part of comprehensive health insurance reform and I will not vote in favor of the proposal that has been introduced by leader Reid as it is written.”

November 16 2009 10:03 AM PST eBay Motors founder starts new e-commerce site by Font size
eBay Motors founder Simon Rothman announced on Monday that he has officially launched a new e-commerce site Glyde.
According to the press release Glyde's goal "is to democratize e-commerce." The site was born out of Rothman's desire to make it easier for Web users to buy and sell products online.
But Glyde throws in a twist. The site's marketplace is designed for Web users to sell used goods. They can sell books CDs DVDs and video games.
"The average American household has $3000 worth of unwanted media collecting dust" Rothman said in a statement. "We built a service that makes buying and selling a used DVD as simple as trading a share of Disney stock. It's the NASDAQ for physical goods."
It's an interesting take on what Glyde is all about. But after using the site for awhile I would agree that it does make it extremely easy to buy and sell goods.
Glyde lets you search for DVDs CDs Games or books.

Glyde's design is extremely simple. If you decide you want to buy some products you can flip through the listing of available inventory pick what you want and learn more about it by clicking on it without much trouble. Unlike sites like Amazon or eBay which deliver you to a product's individual page listing Glyde displays the listing over the search results. When you're done looking at it simply click the "X" at the top right of the panel and you'll be returned to your spot in the results.
Placed prominently on all product pages is a "Buy Now" button. Users have the option of buying a used copy of the product from a seller or a new copy.

Glyde's buying process isn't all that unique. It's standard fare. And even though it offers discounted pricing I just don't think it competes well against Amazon's Marketplace or eBay. Those sites have far more products competitive pricing and simpler checkout processes. Unless Glyde can improve upon that it might have a problem.
But it's Glyde's selling side that will probably appeal most to users. The site makes it incredibly simple to sell products. Users need only to list the product set a sales price and wait for someone to buy. Once they do Glyde sends them a prestamped preaddressed mailer. Sellers need to insert the item they're selling into the mailer and place it in their mailbox. Once the buyer receives the product the funds are deposited into the seller's account less the cost of the mailer and Glyde's fee which is 10 percent of the sales price.
Even better those selling products on Glyde can opt for the proceeds to go to the charity of their choice. It's a nice option.
Glyde provides a simple efficient e-commerce solution. But by taking on giants eBay and Amazon in the used-goods market it will be difficult for the company to stay relevant and capture significant market share.
