First of all I thought Kelly Clarkson did a great job on the National Anthem before the Superbowl last night that’s tough to sing live. But countless stories have been written since about Madonna, 53, miming the words of her 12-minute halftime performance at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Did you notice, I did? It sounded just like the songs on the radio which is always a giveaway. Not many Artists can sound just like their studio voice which is “enhanced”. Another giveaway Madonna while dancing didn’t always lip sync perfectly in time, which is much easier said than done. However, lip syncing is not a new concept for the Super Bowl. In 2009, pregame show producer Rickey Minor told The Associated Press that Jennifer Hudson and Faith Hill were in fact lip syncing for their pregame performance of the National Anthem for the Super Bowl because he requested they do so. The AP also reported that Whitney Houston's unforgettable rendition of the National Anthem in 1991 for the Superbowl was pre-recorded and lip sync live.
Idol update in case you missed it last night a Liberian is hoping to be the next ``American Idol.'' Romeo Diahn was a refugee camp during Liberia's war, and his family managed to leave for America. He earned a ticket to Hollywood during the auditions in Portland, Oregon. The judges also liked the woman who is taking care of her boyfriend after a stroke and the girl who convinced Sara Bareilles (bah-REL'-ihs) to bring her onstage at her concert. They said no to the guy with the baby face and the guy who was sick and shown several times blowing his nose. Forty-five tickets were given out in Portland. Tonight's auditions will be in St. Louis.
I know how much I pay for all my daughter college books and it’s a lot! So I’m all for this. Hardbound textbooks may be going the way of slide rules and typewriters in schools. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius Genachowski are challenging schools and companies to get digital textbooks in students' hands within five years. About $8 billion is spent annually in the U.S. on textbooks for children in kindergarten through 12th grade. Digital books are viewed as a way to provide interactive learning, save money and get updated material faster to students. But many schools lack the broadband capacity or the computers or tablets to embrace the technology
A new diabetes awareness program in the New Orleans uses texting to help people learn their risk of developing the disease and how they can avert it.
Federal agencies, the American Diabetes Association and other developers of the txt4health program were holding a one-day health fair in New Orleans on Today to launch it. Texting HEALTH to 300400 gets a series of questions to assess the risk for Type 2 diabetes. Participants then get weekly text messages to help improve and manage their health.
Diabetes association president Vivian Fonseca says this can connect people with pre-diabetes to the resources they need to keep from it from becoming diabetes.
A Louisiana program spokeswoman says txt4health will go statewide next year.
Me and my whole family are very fair skinned and never tan so we got alot of sunburns young and have been affected by Skin Cancer. So this is great medical news for all of us. Regulators have approved a pill that treats the most common type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma. The pill is called Erivedge and is made by Genentech, a unit of Swiss drugmaker Roche. Erivedge is intended to treat locally advanced cancer for patients who are not candidates for surgery or radiation, and for patients whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body. The capsule is taken once per day.
Genentech says Erivedge is the first drug approved to treat advanced basal cell carcinoma. It says the drug will be available within one to two weeks.
The most common side effects of Erivedge included muscle spasms, hair loss, weight loss, diarrhea, fatigue, changes or loss in sense of taste, decreased appetite, constipation, and vomiting
