Great youth shoulder pads
July 28, 2014
I will say I was a bit scepticle of the pads because they seemed thin and they didn't have a hard plastic shell that normal pads have. Boy was I wrong. I am a pop warner mighty mites coach and I would recommend these pads highly. I have 2 kids on my team including my son that have them and they are great. They protect the kids and allow them to have full movement. The rest of my team now want them. We'll done Wilson.
Pros:Light weight Great protection Allows movement

My son has been using the same pair for 2 years and loves them. He even plays around the house with them on because they are light and they make him feel invincible. He plays OL/DL and they have held up great through 2 years of punishment. He has finally out grown them and we look forward to buying his next pair. I will not even consider other shoulder pads.
Pros:Padding, weight, range of motion, durabilty
Cons:Back plate seems a little small and the velcro in them keeps sticking to his jersey...minor problem

John the Hammers Dad
October 27, 2012
Hello! and much respect to all the super Dad's or special Mom's who know or care enough to find out! What equipment can make a difference in safety/performance and give restful pre-game night's to well deserved parents. My son (Known affectionately from his coaches and team-mates as the beast or hammer or freight-train) who just turned 9 in 8/2012 and in his third year of intense Pee-Wee football here in (NJ) where our near highest in the nation taxes provide antiquated protective gear equivalent to letting your child play with matches after a long dry spell on a camping trip. I must say' Wilson X Pad 2.0 has won me over...please forget all the other brands . You can let your little trooper dress himself, with these amazing velcro secured and insanely padded super' snug fitting ultra-lite armor plated battle gear. He won't feel half the hit ! No joke! Save the hours I spent to determine this fact . These pads are for real! also I must take this opportunity to say please check out the ZENITH X2 Elite Concussion helmet! No more inflating or headaches or Jaw-Pain this helmet is incredible and with kids getting concussions as high as 5 in one game recently here in N.J please check it out! Thanks.

Excellent Shoulder Pads
October 15, 2012
My 11 year old was using the rec. issued pads, which were OK. I tried several "expensive" sets of pads and he wasn't happy with any of them - until we tried these. The Wilson shoulder pads are easy to put on and take off, easily adjustable, comfortable, allow freedom of movement and offer outstanding protection. The padding is also removable for washing - only pads I know of that can claim that feature. My son said he feels safer in these pads too. I also bought (though not at Sports Unlimited because they didn't stock it) the back pad (Wilson calls it a Kick Plate), which attaches with two Velcro straps to slotted plastic tabs on the shoulder pads. They come in two sizes. I got the smaller of the two for shoulder pad sizes XS to M. I purchased the Kick Plate on Amazon. One note: the pads run a bit small. Based on he sizing chart (weight, chest circumference and shoulder width), my son should have been a small. But those were too small and we exchanged them for medium, which were ideal.

Great Shoulder Pads
October 14, 2012
My son loves these shoulder pads. He grew out of the 1st gen Wilson X after 2 years and the pads were so great that II was willing to purchase a larger size only to realize Wilson redesigned them even better. If sized properly, they fit the body well for excellent movement. My son plays RB, WR, and OLB 13yr old Pop Warner. God job with these Wilson.

My son is iin his 3rd year of football and has always complained about the usual shoulder pads. these are the BEST! They are super light, flexible for skill positions, but offer excelelnt protection. Worth paying the money I guarantee it!

August 19, 2012
Solid, light weight and allow full range of motion for skill positions. The difference with these pads is the core upper chest and upper back protection that they provide. When properly fitted, there is little in the way of pad flapping.

This is my son's second set. And we won't look at anything else. Fit,comfort and protection is all there. They hug the body and don't flap around and are very light.

Questions & Answers
My son is 62 lbs, 25" chest, 11" shoulders. Some reviews say these run small. What size should I order?
By Daniel from Houston, TX on March 21, 2013
By Customer Service on March 21, 2013
Answer:His best bet would be to go with the XXS. His measurements are under the top limits for this size, so even if they run a little small, they should still fit him snugly and comfortably.
Do you have the XS in stock?

Alcoholic drinks witnessed volume sales falling away in Russia during 2012, as the government took further steps to reduce the consumption of alcohol in the country. The year witnessed continuing hikes in excise duty, the reclassification of beer as an alcoholic beverage, extended restrictions on alcohol trading hours and locations, and a ban on advertising alcoholic drinks. These factors all adversely impacted volume sales, which recorded an accelerated rate of decrease compared to 2011, although this marked a better performance compared to the review period CAGR, which was strongly influenced by plummeting volume sales over the course of the 2008 financial crisis. Growth rates continued to fall for several years which had a considerable impact on the overall review period

Facts About Sacagawea
Posted In: Famous People.
Just what was a pregnant, Shoshone born, Hidatsa raised, traded to a French trapper doing wandering across unexplored North America. Much is written about her and her significance.
The outset of the expedition
The Corps of Discovery, in North Dakota in 1805 realized that she would be of huge value as a translator as she spoke both Shoshone and Hidatsa. They had hired her husband, Charbonneau, as a guide but the trump card, unpaid, was Sacagawea as she spoke the "Snake" languages.
Pregnancy, child birth and carrying a Papoose
The fact that she was expecting a child who was born just before the expedition set didn't seem to hamper her. Indeed the child, Jean Baptiste was an asset.
Up the Missouri
The journey up the Missouri was against the current, so they were poled or pulled from the river bank. Sacagawea saved a number of items including precious journals after a boat capsized. She had the river renamed after her for her quick thinking.
Meeting her brother
When the expedition found the Shoshone, they were looking to trade for horses to get them over the Rockies. Sacagawea, while translating, found out that the Shoshone chief was her brother. She managed to get horses and guides for the expedition across the mountains.
Traveling with a baby
It turned out that the presence of a woman and child was not threatening to the tribes they met, so managed to complete their mission to present day Oregon in relative peace. They wintered at the Fort they built there (Fort Clatsop near Astoria).
Vast distances
It is estimated that she traveled almost 4,500 miles with the expedition returning with them until they once again reached the Mandan villages from where they had set out.
A symbol of the value of womanhood
There are many statues and monuments raised to Sacagawea. The Suffrage association hailed her as a heroin and in 2000 the US Mint issued a Dollar coin in her honor. Sadly no images actually exist so the likenesses are artists impressions.

Price : $ 0.99
It's becoming more and more apparent that impossible is nothing when it comes to customizing your iPhone. GuestMode is a long anticipated tweak that was in the works for a while and finally we've got our hands on it. Like the title says, it's pretty obvious what this new tweak does for your iPhone. It allows friends, family or randoms to use your iPhone in a 'Guest Mode', this protecting what information/apps on your device. …
One feature that Apple doesn't give use iOS users, its the ability to see a detailed description on what is actually downloading when your purchasing a app for the App Store. We think this is a key feature that we haven't had the ability to privilege yet………I say yet, but lucky for us Jailbreakers, we have a tweak that can give you all the information you need when downloading the apps off the App Store …
Want to spice up your iMessage and start sending more creative pictures to your friends and family? Sure you do, by your kinda restricted at what you can send via iMessage, so what you need to do is install a FREE tweak called; Doodle Message from Cydia. (Available from the BigBoss repo) Doodle Message is a cool neat tweak that allows you to send 'Doodle' message's to your friends and family using iMessage! Just imagine how …
Apple has always bundled the famous YouTube app with all of it's iOS devices from the beginning. Allowing users to enjoy the millions of videos that are posted online everyday.
However, recently Apple had a falling out with Google and decided to forgo the remaining time on their agreement that they had to drop both Google Maps and YouTube. People thought the removing of both would be a huge mistake by Apple, and we've heard those opinions from all around the web.
When the iOS 6 jailbreak finally arrived, there were 100s of people who were trying to port the app back over from iOS 5.1.1, however none succeeded. So support for the new iPhone 5 4″ screen has never been there, till now.
Let's have a look at the new standalone YouTube app for the iOS 6.0+ platform and see how it performs.
Another new tweak out today for the iOS 5 notification system. This time it's a music tweak by the name of MusicBanners.
MusicBanners is 100% free and can be found over in Cydia.
To install simply, start cydia, search for "MusicBanners" and then hit install.
Once installed you will see no new App icon on the acre…
Are you one of those hardcore people that likes downloading torrents? Now think…Would what it be like if you could do the exact same what you do on your PC, but to do it on your iOS Device????
Obviously Apple does not allow this, but lucky or you Jailbreakers, there is a App for doing this!!!
I guess you are wondering what the big fuss is about with XBMC for your iDevice?
Well, I going to tell you a little about it and show you whatcan be achieved when you have this installed on your iDevice!
XBMC (formerly "Xbox Media Center") is a free, open source multimedia player that originally ran on the first-generation Microsoft Xbox, (not the newer Xbox 360), and now runs on computers running Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and iOS. So you are probably thinking….What Can I possibly gain form installing this on your iDevice?
First thing, Because this is an open source multimediaplayer, you can obviously add programs/videos/pictures and music to this!!
I think the days of just syncing your iDevice to a single iTunes is nearly over……
We all know how iTunes has caused us nightmares in the past, hopefully this really is the end of the issue as Harrison Apps has come up with ingenious tweak/App!!!!
If you use your iDevice Alarm clock like me, aren't you frustrated with the dull selection of alarm tunes that you can have to wake you up? I mean, come on guy's who wants to wake to; Marimba, Ascending, Bark…the list is endless!
I give you; PlayAwake…….a Jailbreak tweak that lets you assign any music/audio from their music library to ring as an alarm. To achieve this, this tweak adds a new panel to the Clock app that allows users to choose between the standard sounds, such as the well-known 'Marimba' one, or a song from the local iOS library of songs, which you synced from iTunes of course.
Got a fun tweak for you guy's here, are you one of those people that loves custom sounds on your iDevice?
I certainly am, I love knowing that no one else is going to have the same iDevice as me with my own sounds on it.
We bring you, iSounds;

3 Ways Revenge's Eli James Could Destroy Emily Thorne's Mission
Emily Thorne's foster brother from another mother, Eli James, just hit up the Hamptons for some revenge (or to enjoy the nice beach weather, either way), and you know what that means! Trouble is afoot, Revengers.
Who knows if we can trust this Eli fella, but one thing's for sure: if he decides to cross our girl Emily, he could be a serious detriment to her plan. Plus, let's not forget that Emily burned down boyfriend's house in a crazy pyromaniac fueled rage, so the chances of him being her no. 1 fan are pretty slim.
Check out 3 ways Eli could ruin Emily's mission!
1. He Could Reveal Her True Identity to the Graysons
From the looks of next week's promo, Eli eventually realizes that Emily Thorne is Amanda Clarke. It'll definitely take some sleuthing for him to discover that Emily's trying to take down the Graysons, but once he does, dude could easily foil her plans. UGH, stop ruining everything, Eli! You're stressing us out so much, and we don't even know you yet, sob!
2. He Could Blackmail Her
Eli doesn't have to know the details of Emily's revengenda in order to figure out that she wants to keep her real identity on the hush-hush. The good news? She has plenty of money to pay him off if he decides to blackmail her. The bad news? What if Eli wants more than just cash? This handsome gent could potentially move to the Hamptons and pressure Emily into forking over her entire inheritance! Sigh, she should probably just bury him in a sand dune to be on the safe side.
3. He Could Reveal Her True Identity to Jack Porter
In case you hadn't noticed, Jack is an emotional mess. He's this close to ending it all with a shard of sea glass, and there's no way he's mentally stable enough to learn the truth about Emily. If Eli catches wind of Jack and Emily's love connection, there's a chance that he could tell Jack the truth just to hurt Em. Then what, guys? Lord knows how many jars of sentimental glass Jack would attack.
Do you think Eli will thwart Emily's mission? Hit the comments!

West Virginia to Battle Oklahoma
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Every game is difficult when you are playing in the No. 1 basketball conference in America.
Last Saturday's game against Kansas State at the Coliseum was tough. So was the game at Baylor back on Jan. 28. Well guess what? West Virginia has another tough one coming up on Wednesday night when 21st-ranked Oklahoma comes to town.
The 17-5 Sooners have only lost three times in Big 12 play, most recently last Saturday to an Iowa State team that just won a three-overtime epic at Oklahoma State on Monday night.
The Cyclone victory over the Cowboys put them in a three-way tie with West Virginia and Kansas State for fourth place in the Big 12 standings, just one game behind third-place Oklahoma. Kansas still sits atop the conference standings with a 7-1 record while Texas is breathing right down the Jayhawks' neck at 6-2.
Oklahoma State, predicted by some to unseat Kansas this year, is currently sitting in seventh place with a 4-5 record.
That's how good this league is.
Huggins has certainly spent the last couple of days familiarizing himself with the Sooners. All five of Oklahoma's losses this year have come against good teams - Michigan State, Louisiana Tech, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State - and four of the five losses have been by seven points or less.
The Sooners are 10th in the country in scoring offense averaging 83.5 points per game and have scored more than 80 points in a game 14 times so far this year. However, Oklahoma has only topped 80 points just once in its last six outings, that coming in a 12-point victory against Oklahoma State at home on Jan. 27.
"When you have more possessions you're going to score more points and they shoot it a lot faster," said Huggins of Oklahoma's preferred style of play. "When you shoot it faster there are going to be more possessions and you're going to score more points and your opponents are going to score more points.
"We're shooting it a lot faster than what we've shot it and we're scoring more points, but so is our opponents so that comes with the territory. It really comes down to points per possession more than what the final score is when you start looking at offensive and defensive statistics," the coach added.
Sophomore guard Buddy Hield is coming off a career high 30-point performance in Oklahoma's 81-75 loss to Iowa State, while sophomore guard Isaiah Cousins had a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Cyclones.
"Those sophomore guards are playing well right now and (forward Ryan) Spangler makes a huge difference for them," said Huggins.
The 6-foot-8, 232-pound Spangler has pulled down 93 rebounds in his last seven games and his is averaging a team-best 10.2 boards per game for the season. The sophomore is also averaging 11.1 points per game while shooting an impressive 61.2 percent from the floor this season.
"He's the best rebounder in our league and maybe one of the best in the country," said Huggins.
The veteran Mountaineer coach also has an impact player in junior guard Juwan Staten, who is coming off a career high 35-point performance in the Mountaineers' 81-71 victory over Kansas State. Staten became the first WVU player to earn Big 12 player of the week honors since West Virginia joined the league, and it was his last-second basket that helped the Mountaineers knock off Baylor, 66-64, on the road back on Jan. 28.
Staten is now averaging 18 points, six assists and 5.8 rebounds per game, reaching double digits in points in all but one game this season.
In last Saturday's win against Kansas State, there were many times in the second half when Huggins had the floor spread and let Staten create offense on his own. He said that partly by design because K-State plays such great help defense. Whether or not Huggins will do that again against Oklahoma depends a lot on how the Sooners choose to play Staten.
"If you watch(K-State) play they help so much and we needed to get some easy baskets so we had to take the help away. That's why I did it," said Huggins. "After watching film I thought if we could get some uncontested shots and were fortunate enough to make a few then they'd have to come out and guard us, which would open things up for us."
West Virginia is in the unusual position of facing Oklahoma for the first time this season after already wrapping up regular season play against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. Still, Huggins says he's pretty familiar with the Sooners – just as Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger is pretty familiar with the Mountaineers.
"You know who they're playing," Huggins explained. "You know what the people they are playing are trying to do. You watch film and you look at patterns - what they do consistently, what they do well and what they don't do well - and you can't do that in non-conference early in the year. A lot of times in non-conference they are playing people that they can run whatever they want to run."
Last year, Oklahoma won all three times the Sooners faced West Virginia, including a 67-57 decision in Morgantown on Jan. 5, 2013.
Tip off for Saturday's game is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on ESPNU. The Mountaineer Sports Network from IMG's coverage on affiliates throughout West Virginia begins with the pregame show at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are still available and can be purchased in advance by logging on to WVUGAME.com.

Invading my Dreams.
By AndrewB 1 Comments
How do I know that I'm a gamer? Well, last night I had a dream. A key piece of the plot to said dream involved a bunch of wild animals suddenly showing up and attacking the house. There was a flea-infested dog, a boar, and a horse, that I can remember. As the horse runs up against the front porch, trying to reach the door, he pulls the "no pathfinding teleport" thing (you know, where an NPC will rub up against a wall they can't quite get around until they suddenly just teleport around it or clip through it?). To top it off, he rears back and bashes the door, only to have his hoof clip right through it.
Do my dreams have poor pathfinding and bad graphics?

Time for summer tires!
A. T. U knows why one should change now on summer tire
The spring gives now throughout Europe full gas. For driver, it means now again: Away with the winter tires, here with the summer tires. For now it becomes slow time to adapt its tires directly to the higher temperatures.
Why every car owner in a timely manner should switch in the warmer season on summer tires? A.T.U, European market leader in automotive service, lists the three most important reasons.
1. Summer tires exhibit a shorter braking distance. A car with winter tires available at rate 100, dry roadway and 20 degrees outside temperature after 56 meters, with summer tires however after 38 meters. This difference of 18 meters (32 percent), which can be crucial in an emergency. Also, summer temperatures can damage enormously winter tyres, which have heat damage to the treads and side walls. At worst, even the tire bursts.
Switch and save on summer tires
2. Summer tires save money and protect the environment here. To use winter tires in the summer continue to leads to a higher up to 20 percent wear by abrasion reinforced, which can then later tear a larger hole in the left. With a mileage of 10,000 km and warm weather, a summer tires in the same wear and tear creates whopping 2,000 kilometers more than a winter tires. Who wants to go in the summer not on summer tires, needs more fuel in addition up to five percent. Because of lower rolling resistance-carbon goes back, making favorable for the environment and use summer tires.
Secure with summer tires
3. Summer tires shine with greater comfort. Allow at temperatures of more than seven degrees summer tires, thanks to the materials used and the specific profile more comfortable ride and better handling. Help, especially at higher speeds the car summer tires markedly more stable and thus safer driving behavior.

Some of you who read my recent review of Green Lantern #11 will no doubt remember how I said that Geoff Johns was scaring me, because, among other things, that issue hinted at Hal Jordan disappearing in the future with the new gun-toting Green Lantern named Baz seemingly taking his place. You'll also remember that I said that I trust Geoff Johns and I believed he had the best for the character, the series, and ultimately us – the fans! – in mind.
I am now starting to severely doubt Geoff Johns and his handling of Green Lantern, especially in regards to our beloved hero Hal Jordan.
What changed, you asked? What changed is the fact that I came across a disturbing press release from DC Comics. The press release began with "After Hal Jordan goes missing…" According to series editor Matt Idelson, after Green Lantern Annual #1, Hal will be "MIA in a big way." The Justice League will be descending upon the new Green Lantern to find out who he is, and what – if anything – he's done to their teammate Hal.
Things are indeed beginning to look very grimm for us GL fans. Here's to hoping Geoff Johns knows what he's doing, because those of us – myself very much included – who love Green Lantern because it's about Hal Jordan may stop following the series so faithfully if he takes it too far in this crazy, ridiculous direction.
You can read the official DC Comics press release below.
The "Rise of the Third Army" continues!
After Hal Jordan goes missing, many questions will be left hanging. Particularly for the Justice League, as they decide to go after the new Green Lantern to demand answers about their absent team member. Flying into stores on November 7th, GREEN LANTERN #14 comes to you from the acclaimed creative team of writer Geoff Johns and artists Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy.
"We're going to be meeting a brand new Green Lantern in issue #0, and unlike his predecessors, he's not the sort of guy you'd be expecting to wear the ring. That's putting it mildly," teased series editor Matt Idelson. "After the events of GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1, Hal Jordan is MIA in a very big way, and our new Green Lantern finds himself in a new role, though his troubled life isn't going to go away in the slightest. In fact it's the things he's notorious for that in large part bring the Justice League into the picture—they want to know what's happened to Hal, and what this guy thinks he's doing filling the role of Green Lantern. It's going to be intense, but also very, very cool."
Below, take an exclusive first look at GREEN LANTERN #14 by checking out Doug Mahnke and Mark Irwin's cover for the issue.

Silva gets a shot at the title anytime he wants to come back, he'd more than earned it. When you defend your title as many times as he did, you've earned it. Doesn't matter if he goofed and lost, the numbers for the rematch would be HUGE. I don't understand why Silva haters don't want a rematch, Clearly Weidman is a superior fighter. So what the problem? He'll probably destroy Silva again right? Personally I have no problem with him retiring. Even if he wins 20 more fights by KO, what's the point? This is a dynamic exit in many ways fitting for his dynamic career. Lots of what ifs and arguments for years over this fight......
The real question is which Anderson shows up for the rematch meaning, I bet he does not play games and act hurt in the rematch.
Anderson still has one of the best skillsets we have ever seen...so I cant wait for the rematch
I don't see how anyone has earned a title shot right after they lost a title fight unless the judges screwed them. He got knocked out, and he screwed himself. His fans can make all the excuses they want, but he got beat.

Beyoncé Knowles and Sasha Fierce almost proved to be an unbeatable team.
The 28-year-old diva collected a field-dominating, record-setting six Grammys tonight, but it was 20-year-old Taylor Swift who was standing tallest at the end of the night, her 5 million-selling Fearless a winner for Album of the Year.
"When we're 80 years old and we're telling the same stories over and over to our grandkids and they're so annoyed with us, this is the story we're going to be telling over and over again," she said. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Swift, who entered the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards with a whopping eight nominations, made it out with four wins overall, including Best Country Album and Best Female Vocal Country Performance and Best Country Song, both for "White Horse."
Get the complete list of winners.
Knowles, who came into the night with 10 nominations, set a record for female artists with her half-dozen wins. She had previously been tied with Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones and Alison Krauss, each of whom had tallied five Grammys in one ceremony.
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" earned three pieces of hardware—Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song—while Knowles' presidential inauguration-approved rendition of "At Last" earned her Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance honors, and "Halo" was the top Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Kings Of Leon dimmed "Halo's" glow just a bit, stealing away Record of the Year for "Use Somebody," which also earned the Nashville-rooted band Best Rock Song and Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals.
The family-based rockers also won the award for best acceptance speech, with lead singer Caleb Fallowill declaring to the world: "I'm not going to lie, we're all a little drunk. But we're happy drunks."
Several other artists, including Maxwell and a show-opening, scene-chewing Lady Gaga, saw double Sunday.
The "Run This Town" trio of Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna were two-time winners, collecting gramophones for Best Rap Song and Rap/Sung Collaboration (for which Jay-Z beat out his missus, who shared a nomination for "Ego" with West).
It was a triumphant return to the Grammys for Rihanna, who was recovering from Chris Brown's attack last year, and an unfortunate missed opportunity for West, who opted to skip the show this year after his rough (PR-wise) '09.
But as you all know, the Recording Academy hands out more than 100 Grammys overall, but only nine were handed out in prime-time so that the majority of the attention could be paid to the live performances.
And oh, the performances...
Perhaps the most anticipated number was the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson, featuring Céline Dion, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Usher and Smokey Robinson singing "Earth Song," which was supposed to be a centerpiece of the late King of Pop's This Is It tour last summer.
The quintet came through with flying colors, though the sheer number of awards-show tributes to Jackson, including the one Janet Jackson presided over at the 2009 MTV VMAs, dimmed the uniqueness of this one. But as expected, Jackson's eldest children, Prince Michael and Paris, took the stage afterward to thank their dad's fans, which added another appreciated touch of humanity to the pop icon's layered legacy.
But such touching moments seemed to take a backseat to the razzle-dazzle throughout the show.
Lady Gaga immediately shed her gravity-defying red carpet number to don a sparkly green unitard and get onstage to kick off the show. The snippet of "Poker Face" was good, but then she made Elton John's "Your Song" her own when she paired "Speechless" with the Rocket Man's tune, the two of them putting the hurt on opposing pianos.
Say what you will about her pantsless lifestyle: The Lady can sing.
Other estimable pairings included Swift and Stevie Nicks; Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli, whose "Bridge Over Troubled Water" duet will be available on iTunes for Haiti relief; T-Pain, Slash and Jamie Foxx; and Eminem, Lil Wayne and Drake, backed by Travis Barker on drums, who brought down the house with a rollicking show-closing, bleep-filled performance.
Alanis Morissette wasn't there, but a très fierce Beyoncé seamlessly slipped "You Oughta Know" into her thumping rendition of "If I Were Boy." (Jay-Z led the enthusiastic standing O.)
Pink was part chanteuse, part human sprinkler as she took to the stage (and the air above) to sing "Glitter in the Air," wearing nothing but a flesh-colored body stocking with a few strategically placed sequins and ribbons as she was hoisted Cirque du Soleil-style above the crowd.
Cradled in white bunting, Pink spent a whole minute singing while spinning around and around and...And then, by the power of production tricks, she ended up soaked and spraying water every which way.
Why not?
Green Day, whose latest politically charged opus, 21st Century Breakdown, was named Best Rock Album, turned in one of the less flashy performances when they teamed with the cast of the Broadway-bound American Idiot on "21 Guns." The Dave Matthews Band did their usual mellow, jam-band thing on "You and Me."
But the Black Eyed Peas (three-time winners for Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals, Pop Vocal Album for The End and Short Form Music Video) had energy to spare.
Their "I Got a Feeling" light show may have caused seizures, but their futuristic black and silver military garb looked really cool.
And while he didn't sing, an honorable mention goes to Stephen Colbert, the night's first presenter and a first-time Grammy winner, for Best Comedy Album, for A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All.
"Have a good time, honey," he told his teenage daughter sitting in the audience. "Stay away from Katy Perry."
Robert Downey Jr. was also an inspired choice to introduce Foxx and T-Pain's performance of "Blame It." (That's "blame it on the alcohol.") The tune also won the pair a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals.
"Thank God I'm here to bring dignity and classical flair to this evening's otherwise gauche festivities," the Sherlock Holmes star grandstanded, his intentionally inflated ego continuing to serve him well this awards season.
Check out some of tonight's most memorable moments in our 2010 Grammys: Big Moments From the Show gallery.

Read more: 50 ideas to change science forever
Wouldn't it be great if the internet understood what you wanted? It will, and will be studying its human symbionts too, and all at ever-faster speeds
The internet telescope
How the web gets beneath our skin
The fundamental question of social science, in a nutshell, is this: how can you throw a bunch of people together and end up with not just a bunch of people, but families, companies, markets and societies?
The answer, we have long thought, lies in the interactions between individuals and organisations. Measuring those interactions is at last becoming possible as hundreds of millions of people shift their social and economic activities online - to email and social networking services, search engines and e-commerce sites and, increasingly, smartphones. The net is becoming to social science what the telescope was to astronomy: a device for making a previously invisible universe visible.
We have used email to map out social networks running to hundreds of millions of people, and shown through large-scale experiments how social influence generates hit songs. We have used search queries to predict the box-office revenues of movies or local flu trends, and mined Facebook updates to generate measures of a society's happiness.
These early successes do not address the "big" problems of social science, such as the origins of economic inequality or religious intolerance. But there is no reason why the internet data revolution should not change our understanding of ourselves, just as the data collected by early astronomers transformed our view of the cosmos. Duncan Watts
Duncan Watts directs the human social dynamics group at Yahoo! Research, New York, and is author of the upcoming book Everything is Obvious (Once You Know the Answer) (Crown, 2011)
My new computer is zippier
Today's supercomputers are pretty awesome. But they aren't half as good as we would wish. Even the world's most powerful computer, the Cray Jaguar at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee - capable of over 1.7 petaflops, or 1.7 × 1015 calculations per second - lacks the oomph for the most challenging simulations. Dreaming of recreating the universe's first few seconds, or predicting the planet's future climate in unparalleled detail? Dream on.
Don't forget to set the alarm, though. By 2030, ultrafast, low-power chips coupled with high-speed optical connections should have given rise to the zettaflop machine - at an industrious 1021 calculations per second, the equivalent of a trillion present-day PCs. That will be a tipping point in our predictive capabilities, allowing us to model the effects of new drugs on the human body, the response of societies to climate change or how colliding galaxies give birth to new solar systems.
The semantic web
My computer understands me
Web search has its limits. Type a question such as "how many women have won more than one Nobel prize?" into a search engine, and you'll find the answer, but only after some clicking about and a little bit of reading.
That's because search engines don't know what words mean. In simple terms, they rank web pages by how frequently a queried word appears on it and how many popular sites link to them. They don't know that a Nobel prize is an award and that humans can win awards.
Semantic "metadata" now being infused into the web will help them do just that. A web-page author might tag the word "Nobel prize" with a link to a machine-readable database such as Dbpedia.org. There, "Nobel prize" might be linked to a number of names, each associated with a gender. Couple that with a search engine that has a basic understanding of human sentence structure, and web search might begin to find not just pages, but answers.
Such as, "One: Marie Curie".
Digital immortality available now
In 1945, American engineer Vannevar Bush introduced the idea of a person's memex - "an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory" - that would store, search and retrieve a lifetime's books, records and communications. Fifty years later, Bill Gates wrote that "someday computers will store everything a person has ever seen and heard".
That day is now here. Since 2001, Jim Gemmell and I have demonstrated many aspects of complete "lifelogging", storing letters, papers, photos, videos and voice recordings associated with my life in an annotated and searchable database. Terabyte memory storage coupled with digital cameras, biosensors and GPS means we can now log everything about an individual in real time, from their location to aspects of their physical state such as energy expenditure, heart rate and stress levels.
Utopian vision, or dystopian nightmare? That will depend not least on the laws and norms we establish on privacy. What rights do we have, for example, to record our interactions with others? But lifelogging's beneficial potential is immense. In 2009, researchers in the UK showed how lifelogging with a time-lapse camera can aid those suffering from memory loss to regain control of their lives (Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, DOI: 10.1136/jnnp.2008.164251).
For social scientists, extensive lifelogging will mean an unprecedented flood of data to further our understanding of human behaviour. For each of us, it could mean a chance for a little, limited immortality. Gordon Bell

Verified software
My computer won't fail me
Web-browser crashes are annoying, but as far as software malfunctions go, the consequences are mild. With a plane's autopilot or the control room of a nuclear power station, it's another matter. As our lives become ever more saturated with computers, how can we know they won't fail?
Currently, we systematically test all conceivable scenarios under which they might. A better insurance might be logic. A computer program is a sequence of statements and commands that ultimately boil down to logic. Logic can be reduced to mathematical theorems that can be proved correct with an otherwise unattainable certainty.
The mathematical techniques to check software using formal logic have existed since the 1960s, but faster computers, better algorithms and clever theorem-checking programs are now making "verified software" commercially feasible. Software that is logically watertight is also less vulnerable to malicious attack, making this one innovation that could leave us all more secure.

HP plays the patent game

HP files patent suit against GatewayMarch 25, 2004
The company has increasingly been forced to deflect claims from companies and individuals who assert that HP owes them royalties. Some of the claims come from so-called patent trolls who buy patents on the open market and then use them to extract payments, Joe Beyers, vice president of intellectual property licensing at HP, said in a recent interview.
Patent claim activity "has really heated up," he said. "It has tripled in the last three to four years."
But HP, like Microsoft and IBM, is also extracting more from its own patents and intellectual property. The company created a group in January 2003 to better market and defend its intellectual property.
Now, the group sports an annual run rate of around $200 million, or four times what it used to get. Notable deals including licensing its LightScribe technology, which lets a CD or DVD recorder burn a label onto a recordable disc, to several Asian manufacturers. It has also waged a lawsuit against Gateway.
Legislating creativity
sweeping changes.
"We've done 2,500 transactions in the last 2.5 years," Beyers said.
Intellectual property has emerged as one of the major flashpoints in the technology world. In the past several years, a few small companies have managed to land multimillion-dollar patent verdicts and settlements against large companies such as Microsoft and Intel.
Meanwhile, entrepreneurs such as Ross Perot and ex-Microsoft CTO Nathan Myhrvold have formed companies that are buying up thousands of patents that some believe could prompt a rash of lawsuits. Like others in Silicon Valley, Beyers said he is "quite concerned" about the rise of this type of company.
Washington politicians such as Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, have written legislation to try to reform the patent system.
However, reforming the system is proving difficult. Tech companies have pushed for a law that would make it more difficult for plaintiffs to get an injunction against defendants in patent suits. The threat of an injunction, which can force a defendant to remove a product from the market, has forced many to settle suits.
Critics of the idea, including both small companies and large pharmaceutical manufacturers, contend that lifting the injunction threat will prompt defendants to let suits drag on.
Several sources say that Smith will drop the proposal to make injunctions more difficult in the final version of the bill.
Although questionable patents have been a problem since the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was formed two centuries ago, intellectual property started to become a larger problem for the tech industry over the last decade. Flailing companies have increasingly turned to patent lawsuits to boost their bottom line.
The "IP" business model also began to emerge in the chip industry. In this model, small companies invent something and then license it to larger ones. Invariably, licensing discussions that start out amicably end up in lawsuits.
Partly out of fears about lawsuits, and partly out of a desire to help defray the burden of R&D budgets, large companies have also begun to shore up their own licensing practices.
This was the case at HP. Before the IP group was formed, the company's various product divisions controlled their own intellectual property. A group that tried to extract royalties from a third party would sometimes find out that a different group at HP had already given the third party a license in a separate transaction.
To help bring order to the process, the IP group runs under somewhat rigid rules. All licensing deals need to be personally approved by Beyers.
Obtaining royalties for at least some of its patents helps. "We spend over $3.7 billion a year in R&D," Beyers said.

- IP Theft is not by accident
- HP, Volvo, GM, Microsoft are not amateurs who do not know what they are doing. Any HS aged kid can get on the web to www.uspto.gov and do a keyword search on any topic and find if his invention has precedent, was invented, or is novel.
For these companies to cry wolf and used such derogatory terms such as "Trolls" to describe companies that even there greed and thievery by making them pay for what they use is and will be proven to be a loosing game plan.

There are many advantages of getting your Green Card and especially becoming a Citizen of the United States of America.
You may already be aware of some of the benefits of getting your Green Card or even your USA Citizenship, however few realize the importance of these benefits. For example, having a US Passport is a nice benefit but did you know that having a US Passport allows you to visit many countries without even getting a visa? Or you may know that as a US Citizen you are allowed to visit a US Consulate in a foreign country but what you may not realize is that in case of a disaster in the country that you are visiting the US Consulate will provide a means for you to evacuate or if you get in trouble and get arrested they will make sure that you are humanely treated in the jails of the country of your visit.
Though there are many more benefits of getting your US Citizenship or Green Card, it is not always an easy task. The process of getting naturalized can be long, expensive, complicated and frustrating. From filling out the USCIS forms; to the biometrics process; to the interview, to the exam; and finally to the ceremony; each step requires knowledge and the understanding of the requirements and process. Unfortunately, it is too easy to get denied your citizenship or green card for doing something wrong (or perhaps not doing something) within each of these steps.
So, what are your options? Well, you could hire a lawyer to help you with the process but, if you thought the filing fees were expensive, wait until you see how much it costs to hire a lawyer to help you with your case. You can also try doing it on your own and risk losing everything. It is obvious that the best option is with our help. For less than five bucks a month you can have access to all of the resources that you would need. From filling out your forms; to what to expect and what to have ready for each step of the process; all the way through until you get your citizenship!
You may have had to reread the last sentence several times but be assured that it is not a mistake, it really is less than five dollars a month! If you're asking about how we can afford to provide our services for such low prices, the answer is simple. The amount of visitors, like you, who continue to use our services is always growing. You see, you will not find any other place, either online or elsewhere, that can offer you so much value for such a low price, we dare you to look! Or, just like everyone else, why don't you give us a try!

The minister of trade and investment, Dr Olusegun Aganga, recently announced the federal government's plan to launch a new micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) policy. The draft policy document - the National Enterprise Development Programme (NEDEP) - would provide the framework for the creation of a stronger and more robust small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector.
NEDEP is also expected to create 3.5 million direct jobs in 2013, and 5 million indirect ones by 2015.
Of course, we agree with Minister Aganga that the country needs a strong MSMEs sector. MSMEs have proven to be the best vehicle for inclusive growth and the creation of local demand and consumption as well as jobs.
It is hoped that government's attempt at promoting the sector will work this time round. For the problem with Nigeria is not lack of good ideas but poor implementation of good ideas. For the country to record any meaningful growth, a programme like NEDEP must be executed in an effective way.
Across the world, it is acknowledged that MSMEs form the bedrock of most thriving economies. In Nigeria, for example, the informal sector is what has been fueling the economy; but for the informal sector, the country's economy would have since collapsed in spite of its enormous human and natural resources that are underexploited and misapplied.
Recent statistics give credence to the sector's potential: the 2012 Enterprise Baseline Survey conducted by the Pro-Poor Growth and Promotion of Employment Programme in collaboration with the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and the German Development Agency revealed that there were 17,284,671 SMEs in Nigeria that employ 32,414,844 people and contribute 46.5 per cent of Nigeria's GDP in nominal terms.
What could happen if the sector were given as much support as was given the South-East Asian SMEs by their governments in the 1980s? There would be a "growth spurt" for our economy. Nigerian MSMEs have had to contend with additional issues of lack of adequate infrastructure and access to financial services. We hope the new NEDEP policy would address these.
Even if everything else becomes difficult to resolve, government should strive to get the power sector right. Without adequate and regular power supply, businesses will continue to suffer. With regards to financing, there exist the National Microfinance Policy and the more recent National Financial Inclusion Strategy, both developed by the Central Bank of Nigeria in collaboration with other stakeholders to address the issue of access to financial services.
Proper harmonisation of policies is also important for the growth of the sector. The different government agencies should converge to form a force strong enough to ensure the "growth spurt" in the MSMEs sector. It is high time government eschewed its usual lackadaisical attitude towards the implementation of policies and programmes. If well implemented, NEDEP might well save the country from poverty, youth agitation and the attendant insecurity.

FOR yet another time, the country's historic Oceanside town of Bagamoyo, with its ancient limestone buildings, a powerful reminder of the demeaning slavery days, hosted a meeting of children with disabilities in the company of their parents or guardians.
As children of the children of Froral Inclusive Day Centre and disabled ones from the district sat down enjoying confection at Mwambao Primary School, the chief guest Renatus Mongogwela, Bagamoyo District Administration Officer, reminded the gathering of the significance of handicapped people despite their numerical inferiority.
"They may be small in number, however, their group is one you cannot wittingly avoid to join," said Mongogwela. The Bagamoyo District's official explained that one may aspire to become a teacher or a doctor. One can also plan not to be a doctor or a teacher.
But whether one would become disabled or not, was a mystery that lay in the hand of Fate. "It is different with this group. You never know how, when or what will someday make you a disabled person," said Mongogwela at the Bagamoyo charity gathering by Tanzania Resource Centre for Disabled (TRACED) last Monday. "It is a group that anybody can join anytime."
TRACED was reassuring the unfortunate children in the company of children of the Froral Inclusive Day Centre on the anniversary of World Day of the Disabled on December 2. A non-governmental organization,TRACED works in partnership with Erikshijalpen of Sweden.
"We are celebrating the World Day of the Disabled and taking this opportunity to discuss with parents and other stakeholder to see how best we can improve the welfare of those born with a disability, and where possible, to prevent a probable disability," said the Traced Managing Director, Mbonea Yahya.
Mongogwela called on parents and all stakeholders in the national endeavour to give children with a disability a better future to come forth and do all in their power to remove obstacles to promise the disabled a brighter future of independent life.
"Please do enable them to access services or facilities in their society," he said. By the comment, Mr Mongogwela merely endorsed Bagamoyo District Welfare Development Officer Erasto Aron Mfugale's call for parents and government leaders at all levels to have precise plans concerning the welfare, academic and professional development of the community's members with a disability.
"We live and lay down our development plans as though we did not have people with a disability amidst us," Mr Mfugale said. Both Mfugale and Mongogwela expressed with sadness that by ignoring the disabled, the community left idle the huge potential that lay in them.
There was so much manpower that could be exploited. There were so many talents left to die away and missed by the whole community at large, he said. Mfugale's remark concerning the national potential in the handicapped members of the community was underscored by achievement attained by one disabled lady, Lydia Alpha.
Ms Alpha, administrator in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, said consigning the disabled to rot was indeed unfortunate and indeed unwise. "But that can only change if we stop hiding our disabled children and send them to school and out of our homes to be seen by other members of the society, who can give them the assistance they need," she said.
Grateful to her parents for having sent her to school, she told the guardians and parents of children with a disability and who may have felt embarrassed to exposed their disabled, what difference education would make to their unfortunate children by pointing to herself.
Without education, she said, she would never have had the wherewithal to get the job and meet her economic needs. "I would not have been able to get this job. How would I if my parents had not sent me to school and just hid me in the house at home?" she asked passionately in a wheelchair.
The wife of a businessman, Ms Alpha studied up to Form IV and later undertook a telephone operator and typing course. Supportive, Mongogwela agreed with he and said: "Keeping children with a disability out of sight is wrong.
They need an independent life possible only with the assistance of those who will see them and know they exist." Currently, TRACED, jointly with the Swedish Erikshjalpen, is conducting research and carrying out surveys on the assessment needs of parents and their children with disabilities.
Also in their research, is parental education, guidance and counselling training on disability aspects such as physiotherapy. In line with ceremony, TRACED and Erikshjalpen, train parent resource groups, take part in community development by working together with education and health workers in what is termed as 'interdisciplinary team' to discuss disability issues and their involvement and role in TRACED programmes in the country.
TRACED supports medication rehabilitation for children with disabilities that can be corrected by physiotherapy, surgery such as club feet, contractures, congenital malformation, cataract and so on and so forth.
TRACED makes it one of its major objectives to coordinate, cooperate and collaborate with parent groups, government and relevant local and international non-governmental organizations in promoting community-based rehabilitation programmes for children with disability.
For all its agenda, the Dar-based non-governmental organisation has a faithful partner in Bagamoyo authorities. "We'll ensure all schools and other public places have constructions put in place with people with a disability in mind," said Mfugale. Apparently, TRACED and partners are doing well for the unfortunate members of the Tanzanian community.
So far it has identified and screened 863 children in Dar es Salaam, Mufindi and Bagamoyo and given them the necessary assistance that has enabled them to lead a relatively happier life. Equally lucky, are 315 pupils and students with disabilities, who received mobility gears from the organization and can now move freely.
Bagamoyo District boasts one centre for children with disabilities established by TRACED. Another similar one is in Isalavanu Mufundi in Iringa Region south of the country.

Thinking for a Living 3.0
Our good friends over at Thinking for a Living have just launched the 3rd iteration of their online presence. Flipping the site on its side and applying a strick columnar layout, TFAL 3.0 is a great example of how media should be consumed online. Read this post by Frank Chimero describing the thinking and features behind the new site. Congrats to BBDK (Duane, Shane and Bob), Frank Chimero and Ian Coyle, you guys knocked this one out of the park.
It should be noted that the mobile version of TFAL is most likely the best mobile website online right now (maybe better than the site on a full monitor)…
