Clay has left RCA Records. Here's more information from <br /><a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20260594,00.html">People.com</a><br /><br /><br /><blockquote>The rumors started when his likeness was removed from his record's Web site and now Clay Aiken is setting the record straight: the former American Idol has parted ways with RCA Records, Aiken's rep has confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE.<br /><br />"We were unable to come to terms in a recent contract negotiation, and decided that it was best to move on," the rep, Cindi Berger, said Friday.<br /><br />The buzz about Aiken's exit was fueled earlier this week when his picture disappeared online and Billboard, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Aiken, 30, had been dropped by the label.<br /><br />According to Billboard, Aiken’s 2008 album “On My Way Here” sold just 159,000 copies in the U.S., compared to his 2003 debut album, “Measure of a Man,” which sold 2.78 million copies.<br /><br />Aiken ended a stint in January in the Broadway run of Monty Python’s Spamalot, and told PEOPLE in December that he looked forward to returning to his native North Carolina with his son Parker, born Aug. 8, following the show. "I want to spend time with Parker," Aiken said. "He's still uber-dependent. I'm ready for him to start talking. I'm ready for a little action!"<br /><br />Aiken also said he was looking forward to some downtime: "We'll take a little bit of time, we're not quitting or anything, we're just going to take it slow for a month or so and recollect once I get back," he said. "I may never have any free time once Parker starts walking and talking!"</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">(CC) 2008 Clay's Daily Double.

Although active parent communities can help keep some offerings afloat, few have the financial resources to effect change on a larger scale.<br /><br />Many celebrities, however, include education in their philanthropic activism. A relatively recent newcomer to this arena is former American Idol singer Clay Aiken, who has been unusually active in furthering educational missions. As he explains on his website, "My music career has allowed me to do the same thing I was doing before—work with kids. It has just given me a bigger stage, so I can enact change on a grander scale."<br /><br />Before Idol, Aiken was pursuing a degree in special education and tutored a boy with autism. After successfully launching his singing career, Aiken quickly formed the Bubel/Aiken Foundation, which "serves to bridge the gap that exists between young people with special needs and the world around them" through inclusion and other programs. The foundation has been awarded grants to "create, test and launch a national model for an innovative K–12 Inclusive Service Learning curriculum which teaches social and life skills to children of all abilities while helping to dispel stereotypes and stigmas about disabilities."<br /><br />From 2006 to 2008, Aiken served on the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. Since 2004, he has also served as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, enabling "all children in the world to obtain a primary education" and helping children who have survived disasters, live in deplorable conditions, and must have education restored quickly. "School provides stability and hope when little else can," Aiken explains on his website. "Just to have someplace safe and meaningful to go can mean so much to children in tragic circumstances."<br /><br />Through the generosity and activism of celebrities like Clay Aiken, important aspects of and initiatives in education can progress. As our schools continue to struggle with shoestring budgets, assistance from celebrities and others with the wherewithal to effect change and galvanize people into action may increasingly be key to the survival of important educational programs.<br /></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer">(CC) 2008 Clay's Daily Double.

By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, BC/EFA raises funds for AIDS-related causes and other critical illnesses across the United States.

Part of the radiothon was to discuss stories about the hospital. Linda Loveland announced that they would play a pretaped interview from Jaymes giving her account of Parker's surgery and her praise for Duke.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote>Here's a recap from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Clayscience21</span> at the <span style="font-weight: bold;">CB</span>:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Jaymes' account:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">At 4 weeks, Parker started becoming very, very ill, culminating in vomiting. It became clear to them he wasn't getting nourishment. Doctor told them to go to Durham regional where they spent 8 hours in the emergency room with Parker. Durham suggest Duke Children's since Durham did not have pediatric ward. Jaymes mentioned that Clay was aware of Duke's reputation as a local resident but Jaymes was also aware of Duke even growing up elsewhere since it has a national reputation. The condition was diagnosed as pyloric stenosis, common in children. It's a muscle at the bottom of the baby's stomach that overgrows and obstructs the passage of food to the intestines. Doctors said surgery was urgent and needed to occur within 24 hours. It was terrifying for Jaymes and Clay. The thought of Parker under anesthesia was scary. Parker was in the hospital for 4 days and 4 nights. It was shocking to be in that situation. But doctors and nurses at Duke were calming and comforting. Parker was doing great now and just celebrated his six months birthday. The surgery was an instant fix with a fast recovery and with Parker able to take a bottle right away. He's very happy and healthy now.</span><br /><br />Lynda followed up the taped interview with her comments about being in contact with Clay and Jaymes about this and that Parker was the cutest, happiest little kid.<br /><br />The male DJ suggested that Claymates listening could donate online if they were interested.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />You can download the interview by clicking on the link below:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/hj3ezw">Jaymes Interview On WRAL</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">(CC) 2008 Clay's Daily Double.

In addition, noted designers such as Bob Mackie have created original bears for these auctions.<br /><br />BC/EFA is very grateful to the creative and talented artists who designed, outfitted, costumed, draped, frocked, dressed, shod, hatted, painted, armored, tattooed, stuffed, “lipoed,” wigged, bejeweled and feathered the Broadway Bears – and in doing so created truly one-of-a-kind, museum-quality pieces for auction. BC/EFA is also indebted to The North American Bear Company for generously donating now hundreds of bears – each of which went out a bare bear and came back a star!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">SPAMALOT Bear signed by Clay Aiken!</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyzMzhyphenhyphenQPUUP0GkBMnpCcZVvMx0dAoyXBfeC5A0-RWzNlhlueJtu2fMlYS8r29KEbItQ16MgwA-rgq1Xea0JGw9qhI3ZR71hOVFtSdaXmSo_V8-mFci7lcJdicxOeAwwBJPzeQ/s1600-h/bears-10.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyzMzhyphenhyphenQPUUP0GkBMnpCcZVvMx0dAoyXBfeC5A0-RWzNlhlueJtu2fMlYS8r29KEbItQ16MgwA-rgq1Xea0JGw9qhI3ZR71hOVFtSdaXmSo_V8-mFci7lcJdicxOeAwwBJPzeQ/s400/bears-10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300894331410307826" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHfPp4Nj70ilfYLCCLgiJXe6xeXgWLX2VCiZoMR5HtvnosHYgJwkYysw-g2LTIPDohUHpy27U0OomReTNpMIr4C_xbOObqMMARoJiBcD0IdnZzsAr7ZahRFxo8gJfyG6Tgp6U/s1600-h/bears-11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHfPp4Nj70ilfYLCCLgiJXe6xeXgWLX2VCiZoMR5HtvnosHYgJwkYysw-g2LTIPDohUHpy27U0OomReTNpMIr4C_xbOObqMMARoJiBcD0IdnZzsAr7ZahRFxo8gJfyG6Tgp6U/s400/bears-11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300894530455053938" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Click Here For More Information: <a href="http://www.broadwaycares.com/events/bears.cfm">Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids</a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">(CC) 2008 Clay's Daily Double.

The 2nd annual Golfing For Inclusion event took place at the Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens on January 26th. While the economy is on the decline, TBAF still had an excellent turnout.<br /><br />They had several great auctions all with wonderful end results. Here are just a few of the items that were up for bid that evening:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SRHP Autographed Stool - $5,500<br />Original POYB, signed score - $6,600<br />Dinner with Clay (anywhere, with bidder & 3 others) - $35,000<br />Clay Voice Message - $2,500<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-BQaDm2gGcxazjqmaJFSCTng58iLAVCpk7qgrQM6wwJ8s4Z5AiJk-sKxzhyxJjthjkz9Awi0xH9V-pbxeynPVSJ34i9W01Jgm8pRhul6qFEUsnHsovqYdFcsbSnTyEjtNWkY/s1600-h/wayne.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 204px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-BQaDm2gGcxazjqmaJFSCTng58iLAVCpk7qgrQM6wwJ8s4Z5AiJk-sKxzhyxJjthjkz9Awi0xH9V-pbxeynPVSJ34i9W01Jgm8pRhul6qFEUsnHsovqYdFcsbSnTyEjtNWkY/s320/wayne.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300868641664790946" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The grand total for the evening was a whopping $100,000, a great success for any night of auctioning.

That is less than 2 weeks, in fact, only 12 days.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt8PxKnY28FL0gU6dCa-5D1ISuDShMlmojUHNSTQaY1EhMnsOs8OfyEVvqd59v8EgT8UmZNQN57gshkvt1z7OgEVcFYPfRugaFYyGJlDOD6jqftmxB0K8RplgTrk-d5jeR_9bfDQ/s1600-h/Happy-Birthday-Balloons.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt8PxKnY28FL0gU6dCa-5D1ISuDShMlmojUHNSTQaY1EhMnsOs8OfyEVvqd59v8EgT8UmZNQN57gshkvt1z7OgEVcFYPfRugaFYyGJlDOD6jqftmxB0K8RplgTrk-d5jeR_9bfDQ/s200/Happy-Birthday-Balloons.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270216325295457986" /></a>One way you can celebrate Clay's 30th birthday is by participating and The Clayboard's annual Clayboard Team for Inclusion TBAF Two Fold Birthday Celebration Project, which includes (1) a fundraiser for The Bubel Aiken Foundation, and (2) encouraging people to reach out to others in various acts of kindness. <br /><br />A thread is set up at The Clayboard which is dedicated to this celebration.<br />You can go to the <a href="http://theclayboard.yuku.com/topic/27535">Clayboard Team 4 Inclusion Clay's B-day BAF Fundraiser</a> and read all about it, or just read below about the details. Mamarose at the Clayboard has written up a wonderful explanation of the Birthday Celebration Project:<br /><br /><blockquote>Before I get into details of this year's Birthday Celebration Project, let me explain how you can become a part of our Clayboard Team for Inclusion TBAF Beta Alpha Chapter! <br /><br />What is Beta Alpha you ask: <br /><br />"Beta Alpha is a nationwide community project where groups come together to raise funds and build awareness for full inclusion. Beta Alpha allows you to turn any event, golf tournaments, tennis matches, marathons, auctions, into one that helps support the goal of inclusion. It will also allow people to make individual donations to join the cause." <br /><br />Anyone wishing to be a member of The Clayboard Team for Inclusion must register individually. Registering is very simple and only takes a minute or two. Go to the <a href="http://www.bubelaiken.org/default.aspx?tabid=112">Beta Alpha Individual Registration Page</a>. Fill out the form you see there. On the form, you will see a space asking you to fill in the name of your chapter/group. If you wish to become a part of our Clayboard chapter, there you should type in our title, <em>Clayboard Team for Inclusion</em>. It is as simple as that! Of course individuals may register without becoming a member of a chapter, but we really would love to build a great Beta Alpha Chapter here at The Clayboard and we hope you will join us. Registration is open to EVERYONE!!! <br /><br />***And now on to our Clayboard Team for Inclusion TBAF Two Fold Birthday Celebration Project!!!*** <br /><br /><strong>PART ONE</strong> of our Birthday Celebration Project will be a fundraiser to benefit The Bubel/Aiken Foundation. To make a contribution to our TBAF fundraiser, please CLICK HERE: <a href="https://store.bubelaiken.org/apps/">TBAF DONATION PAGE</a> and follow the directions given there to make your online donation. <br /><br /><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ: IN ORDER TO HAVE YOUR DONATION COUNT AS A CLAYBOARD TEAM FOR INCLUSION DONATION, you must include the name of our chapter when filling out the donation form. In the box marked "Beta Alpha Chapter," just type in Clayboard Team for Inclusion. That way your donation will go into the total being raised by our Chapter for this drive. </strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1CE6SX-No3Evssf8p0OyXXg-WupxlcRY2d-2lIBAsj7uRqCBEfdqdF2Rham2QPl6peLVY6ryqwpnRNMmlJyxWE9JEVgXFacbQ7cBAEll8SNXNdPSWLTuAAMwARJzEsopmrKXkQ/s1600-h/Project.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1CE6SX-No3Evssf8p0OyXXg-WupxlcRY2d-2lIBAsj7uRqCBEfdqdF2Rham2QPl6peLVY6ryqwpnRNMmlJyxWE9JEVgXFacbQ7cBAEll8SNXNdPSWLTuAAMwARJzEsopmrKXkQ/s200/Project.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270223295058207826" /></a><br /><br />Also note that the donation form offers suggestions for donation amounts, but there is also a box included for "Other" in which you can write in the donation amount of YOUR choice. Please remember...NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL! <br /><br />Although TBAF will keep a tally of the contributions coming in, as we did last year, we will also be manually tabulating our daily totals so we can keep you posted on how the fundraiser is coming along. <br /><br />So, after you have made your TBAF donation, please follow these steps: <br /><br />Send a PM Mamarose10 (take the link above to the Clayboard thread and click on Mamarose's name in the first post to send her a PM) and include in your PM the following information: <br /><br />1. The total amount of your donation (Type carefully & accurately please!). <br /><br />2. Your screenname, if you wish to be included on a participant list that will be published with birthday greetings to Clay. If you chose, you can also be listed as Anonymous. <br /><br />Please note: Donation amounts will NOT be published. Every donation, large or small, is important and equally appreciated! <br /><br /> <br /><br /><strong>PART TWO</strong> of our project will be a little different. We all know that sometimes monetary donations are just not possible, but that should never stop anyone who wishes to take part in Clay's birthday celebration. Those who cannot make a monetary donation to TBAF at this time, are welcome to instead participate in some thoughtful and intentional acts of kindness in Clay's name. It can be anything from helping an elderly neighbor to volunteering at a local soup kitchen or whatever you choose. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZw4L5iBCDECbgum8WpICdQ__GGzUsFoQ4310MQDDn3Jl_VQY25SLUnYVkbeeDbSv2pdUMRMfrnHemr4PPujtHquq-73aNed3UdguI5krWQilLprlS7cSe5aV96eO1yCldGQ3rlg/s1600-h/random-acts-of-kindness.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZw4L5iBCDECbgum8WpICdQ__GGzUsFoQ4310MQDDn3Jl_VQY25SLUnYVkbeeDbSv2pdUMRMfrnHemr4PPujtHquq-73aNed3UdguI5krWQilLprlS7cSe5aV96eO1yCldGQ3rlg/s200/random-acts-of-kindness.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270226955736311490" /></a><br />The names of ALL participants, both those who make a monetary contribution and those who perform an act of kindness, will be included on a birthday card to be presented to Clay at the end of the month. <br /><br />To participate in the Thoughtful and Intentional Acts of Kindness Project, please follow these steps: <br /><br />Send a PM Mamarose10 and include in your PM the following information: <br /><br />1. A BRIEF synopsis of your act of kindness. <br /><br />2. Your screenname so we may include you on a participant list that will be published with birthday greetings to Clay. If you wish, you can also be listed as Anonymous. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpqvij19QwwjTFz_uLhaAK1CPG9vHi2sgg9Wh55lVWHxBKQXCzwDQIMJsKVctbHMBgxFCEyZEL07w1ocIdxd3C5hPuP0sLcrdqtygAjVJzNS2lLA7Gt9Z4jEXv1bHBq9sszP3jQ/s1600-h/untitled2.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 188px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpqvij19QwwjTFz_uLhaAK1CPG9vHi2sgg9Wh55lVWHxBKQXCzwDQIMJsKVctbHMBgxFCEyZEL07w1ocIdxd3C5hPuP0sLcrdqtygAjVJzNS2lLA7Gt9Z4jEXv1bHBq9sszP3jQ/s200/untitled2.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270227424560121938" /></a><br /><br />****Lurkers/non-Clayboard members who would like to participate may feel free to donate and email clayboardadmins@gmail.com to report their donations. <br /><br />As the days go by, we will try our best to keep you posted with updates on how our fundraising and acts of kindness totals are coming along. <br /><br /><strong>Our fundraiser will officially end at Noon Eastern Time on November 29th.

If you have not done so already, please join us in becoming a member of our Clayboard Team for Inclusion Beta Alpha Chapter, and let's make this a month where we show Clay that we support him, love him and celebrate each and every day the joy he has brought to all of us! </blockquote> Thanks to Mamarose for this explanation. Please give if you can, and you can help make this a memorable celebration for both Clay and The Bubel Aiken Foundation.<div class="blogger-post-footer">(CC) 2008 Clay's Daily Double.
