http://www.therisetothetop.com Is there a better name than social media?

http://Twitter.com/Clevvertv - FOLLOW US! If you're a Miley fan, you better listen up! Cyrus needs your support. Get the details right now! Poor Miley. In a recent poll, the Disney superstar got named something pretty darn bad and we're looking for people to defend her. Hey guys, I'm Dana Ward at the Clevver TV headquarters and we just received word that Miley got voted as - take a deep breath - 2009's worst celeb influence. That's right, it's probably not a win that the singing-actress is proud to earn - nor is it anything like her impressive number-1 song downloads, sold-out concerts and crazy-popular Hannah Montana merchandising. But the AOL poll asked readers ages 9 to 15 years old and they chose Miley as the worst Hollywood influence. So it wasn't even adults or parents who picked! We're wondering WHY there are so many haters out there... not just the obvious grouping of the media, but what about fellow kids and teens? I mean, Miley is actually setting records with all of her careers accomplishments, and hey, she's a teenager and bound to make a mistake or two, so why is everyone hating? Do you guys think that maybe some people are closet fans who actually like MC but choose to hate simply because they're too cool for school? So the main happenings with Cyrus that were likely the reason she received so many votes for worst influence of 2009 are likely her suggestive Vanity Fair covershoot, the stripper pole performance for the Teen Choice Awards and her slanty eyes photos with friends. Specifically on the poll, Miley got an astounding 42-percent of the votes in the category, beating out Britney Spears at 27-percent, Kanye West at 19-percent, Vanessa Hudgens at 9-percent and Shia LeBeouf at 3-percent. Some of those celebs had more shocking and solid bad influence -related situations over the last year, so why did Miley get the WORST vote? Leave your opinion below and let us know if you're an official Miley defender. Be sure to checkout our Twitter page @clevvertv and subscribe to our page for entertainment news all day everyday. I'm Dana Ward - thanks for watching! Hosted by Dana Ward.

An astonishing 7,300 photos were submitted for Kiteboarding magazine s November 2009 issue. Some photos fall into the usual categories of amazing waves or incredible freestyle shots, and others are, well, let’s just say way out there. From this library of photos we compiled a list of shots that turned heads here at Kiteboarding magazine. Enjoy this unique collection of 24 photos that will inspire, humor, amaze, captivate and entertain you. Wind Farmer What would you do if an ankle-nipping border collie chased you through the horse pasture? Jon Modica finds a creative way to escape, until he reaches the other side of the pond and the dog happily greets him. Photo: Adam Koch The Slider Project With this new massive fun box added to the already-established assortment of rails and kickers built by The Slider Project crew, the Hood River, Oregon, kite park attracts the best wake-style riders in the business, like freestyle guru Ruben Lenten (shown here). Photo: Lance Koudele Urban Assault Flysurfer team rider Lennart van Schuilenburg takes advantage of the Netherlands’ flat landscape as the wind flows smoothly into this skate park for a nighttime kite session to remember. Photo: Ramon Schoenmaker Ooh La La All you have to do to hang out with kiteboarding beauties Susi Mai and Tuva Jansen is buy yourself a private island in the British Virgin Islands like Virgin mogul Richard Branson. Otherwise, keep dreaming. Photo: Tracy Kraft Slice of Heaven No, this is not an actual 136 cm Jimmy Lewis Park board; it’s Dustin and Christine Hall’s wedding cake, with edible foot straps and all. Kudos to Dustin for establishing his priorities early on. Weeks before the wedding, Dustin sent his Jimmy Lewis board to Lewis for a minor ding repair. When Lewis heard about the cake, he sent back a brand-new custom board as a wedding gift. Now we would like to see an edible kite to go with it. Who knows, you might get a free kite. Photo: Nicole Rule Wipeout You’re not learning unless you’re crashing! As much as we like to see a perfectly executed KGB, the occasional free-falling, ball-smacking, water-inhaling wipeout can be equally, if not more, entertaining. Photo: Enrique Abreu Ride at Your Own Risk Not long ago, kiteboarders avoided obstacles at all costs. Now, a core group of riders are magnetically pulled toward them, like Kevin Steen, who rides the wall on this John Wayne Slider in Hatteras, North Carolina. Photo: Tracy Kraft Dreaming of Tubes While most of us merely dream of kiting a nicely breaking wave, seasoned pros — like Naish team rider Reo Stevens — are all too familiar with an epic shacking. Note to self: Step one to manifesting the dream of getting barreled is buying a ticket to Reunion Island (pictured) or another near-perfect break. Photo: Stephanie Fournet Near Decapitation Dimitri Maramenides resurrects the old-school one-footer with a bit of personal style — and nearly severs his head. Photo: Bryan Harvey Beach Doctor While most riders think pumping up their kites is enough of a warm-up for a hard-core session, Dr. Sarah Ellis can give you real tips on how to stretch before riding. You’d be an idiot not to let the doc warm you up. Photo: Elea Faucheron Invisible Board The next time you’re heading to the tropics, leave your snorkel behind and pack your see-through board instead. Eight months ago, North team rider Dirk Hanel had a crystal-clear vision as he began experimenting on a transparent kiteboard made of Acrylite. This CNC-shaped kiteboard comes complete with foot bed inserts and a custom rocker. Although for now this is a bit of a novelty, it could be a glimpse into the future. Photo: Roberto Foresti/Canon Excess Rubber While it was more than warm enough to ride in just shorts when this shot was taken in southern Florida this spring, Damien LeRoy threw on NPX’s Lucifer drysuit for some R s epic coastline. That must be one stinky van! Photo: Dave Tyburski Bombs Away As crab fishermen set up their traps, Kevin Langeree acid drops off this dock in Hatteras, North Carolina, successfully scaring the crabs to safety, and rides away, leaving two pissed-off crabbers wondering what in the world just happened to their dinner. Photo: Bryan Elkus Travel Bug After traveling across the entire Pacific Ocean from his hometown of Coolum, Australia, Ben Wilson couldn’t wait to score on the frigid Oregon coast. Photo: Lance Koudele Jibbing in Paradise Beautiful location? Check (Antigua). Great wind and perfectly flat water? Check. World-class obstacle park? Check. With a perfect playground in his backyard, Jake Kelsick bonks a barrel following a stylie board slide. Photo: Tracy Kraft No Wind? No Problem! It’s not every day you see a kiter out on a glassy body of water, but this Flysurfer SilverArrow kite has ridiculously good low end, making such an illogical concept a reality. Photo: Courtesy Flysurfer Steezie Slezy In one of the most stylie presses we’ve seen recently, Jason Slezak tests out the comfort of his Liquid Force limited-edition Synergy CT bindings and the flex core and grind base of his new 2010 Liquid Force Influence Grind kiteboard. Photo: Gregg Gnecco Wind Awareness Got an iPhone and an insatiable curiosity about the wind’s speed? Then put your wonder to rest a by turning your cell phone into a wind meter. That’s right, your iPhone can even help you pick what size kite to rig. Download this handy app at goingapps.com. Electrified Waters don’t get much prettier than this. Jeremie Tronet throws a powered kite loop over the electric blue waters on the island of Francisqui Abajo in the Los Roques, Venezuela, archipelago. Photo: Linn Svenden A New Kind of Board-Off Hood River, Oregon, local Jim Bison tries his hand at starting a new sport: kitebarefooting. Photo: Gavin Butler Where Not to Learn Generally, kiteboarders choose this sport to stand out a bit more than the average guy. Well, if you take a kiting trip to Tarifa, Spain, good luck getting noticed! Photo: Susi Mai

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Nationwide Insurance launched The Power of Parents, It's Your Influence by MADD today to give parents of high school students the communication tools they need to stop teen alcohol use. The program features resources at thepowerofparents.org. A GfK Roper Youth Report showed 74% of kids (age 8-17) said their parents are the leading influence on their decisions about drinking. Data also shows that a zero tolerance message from parents to teens is the most effective in deterring underage drinking and it also supports the lifesaving 21 drinking age law, which is in all 50 states.
