Eminem, Taylor Swift and Macklemore Ryan Lewis were among the winners during Sunday night's live webcast from New York. and rapper Earl Sweatshirt, and Schwartzman and Watts careened about the soundstage with only notecards to point the way.

Eminem was named artist of the year before performing a wordperfect version of his new lungbusting tour de force "Rap God," filmed in black and white. Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" won YouTube phenomenon and Macklemore and Lewis won YouTube breakthrough.

Actress Gina Gerwig kicked the awards off as the protagonist of a live video of Arcade Fire's "Afterlife," directed by Jonze. Gerwig appears to break up with her boyfriend, then expresses the emotions she's feeling in an interpretive dance that moves from apartment to forest to soundstage with a little visual trickery.

A short while later Schwartzman and Watts admitted they would be working the 90minute show without a script with just notecards standing between them and awkward pauses and brief technical difficulties.

"This is all about anything happening," Schwartzman said, and it sort of did.

Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler stepped into the shot to take photos with his iPhone, the show's hosts ran through the crowd a few times, climbed a ladder, participated in facepainting, performed not one but two improvised songs and in the show's most awkward moment carried babies through the crowd and tried to interview Macklemore and Lewis as they cried.

"So do we get to keep the babies?" Macklemore asked.

Schwartzman said the night was about creativity, and it certainly was creative.

Earl Sweatshirt and fellow rapper Tyler, the Creator, performed their song "Sasquatch" in the midst of a mosh pit, using handheld cameras to relay the frenetic experience. Lady Gaga went the opposite way, performing her new song "Dope" wearing just a black cap, sunglasses and a plaid shirt. She sat alone at a piano, with the camera tight on her face. She removed the glasses to reveal tears on her face as she sang.

Avicii played the dumb hot guy part in a short film that concluded with a bloodspattered faked double suicide and Butler made a return to the stage when he jokingly interrupted as a group of Swift fans accepted her award, recreating the infamous moment when Kanye West rushed the stage during Swift's win at the MTV Video Music Awards.

"Not Taylor Swift," Butler said. "I'm gonna let you finish. Not Taylor Swift. The YouTube phenomenon of the year was definitely the 'Harlem Shake.' I don't know. No disrespect, but everybody knows that if you've ever been on YouTube, so whatever." He then dropped the mic and walked off stage.

Other winners included Girls' Generation, DeStorm and Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix.

Some of the facts I've learned about breast cancer also bring encouragement. While the American Cancer Society reports that the chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman's life is around one in eight (12 percent), the good news is, it's no longer labeled a terminal disease. Thanks to improvements in treatment and early detection, millions of women are surviving breast cancer today.

Millions of women have gone through it, and they have survived. In every community across America, there are breast cancer support groups and there is help, information, and plenty of hope to go around. It helps so much to arm oneself with information for this battle, and to surround oneself with "soldiersinarms," because a battle it is!

I will never forget the night before I took my first round of chemotherapy, I made the mistake of reading all the side effects that were going to happen. When the nurse drove the needle into my chest port, just looking at that full bag of toxic, poisonous drugs hanging on the IV stand, I was absolutely overwhelmed. I remember thinking, "Lord, I'm already a quadriplegic and I deal with pain. I feel like you've abandoned me here." Yet, as I watched the IV with its steady drip of poison seeping into my veins, the Bible had an answer for me. From Hebrews chapter 13: "God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'" I can't begin to tell you how much that verse helped me on that first day in the chemo clinic. Brian Schwenke Jersey

With that first day in chemo, I began the prayerful habit of looking to God's Word for emotional balance, and by saying out to the Lord: "Thank you that I'm not alone. You are here, bearing my burdens and caring for my needs. You have not abandoned or forgotten me. You give me strength for this challenge." Just rehearsing those truths was so powerful even sitting slumpshouldered in a big chemo chair. So take heart, the Lord of the Universe is in the good fight with you.

I also discovered that when I employ God's Word in my prayers, His peace keeps me from emotionally throwing in the towel. When feeling near to the point of emotional defeat, I was encouraged again by the book of Hebrews, this time in chapter 10 where it says to anyone who is fainthearted, "So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." And, oh, what he has promised our sufferings in this world aren't even worth comparing with the glories that lay right around the corner on heaven's horizon. So today don't throw away your confidence; you will be richly rewarded!

I also found it helped to have a courageous friend to look to for an example. I remember after I had my mastectomy for my breast cancer, my doctor implanted a catheter port in my chest wall my quadriplegic veins are pretty thin, and this little port is like a small checker underneath my skin into which they can stick a needle to either draw blood or give chemotherapy.

But a port needle is a big needle! I remember the first time I had to take chemotherapy, it really hurt when they stuck it in. I looked around at some of the other people hooked up to their IV's and wondered if it hurt them as much as it did me. When I went in for my second round of chemotherapy, I cowered when they approached me with that big needle. But then I watched the nurse stick the woman next to me: I couldn't believe it; she didn't drawback or flinch or anything! It didn't seem to bother her at all.

I remember thinking, "if she can handle it with grace, I sure ought to be able to." That woman inspired me, and so I asked the nurse, "Is there something I can do like her to make this less painful?" to which she replied, "Just take a deep breath right before I stick you; then let it out quickly when I plunge the needle in." And you know what? It worked! I didn't feel anywhere near the pain I did before. And now, many months later, as well as many port flushes later, I'm like that woman I first saw in the chemo clinic I don't flinch or anything. I found her courage.

I once heard someone say that human beings naturally lean toward cowardice and fear you hang around someone who's afraid, and it will breed fear. Spend time with someone who is cowardly and you begin to feel timid and cowardly too. But if you spend time with someone who is brave and courageous, guess what: Their courage will breed courage in you. And God knows this. It's why he says in Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." God knows that when we are brave, we influence others to be brave. So we've got a command, God commands us to be courageous; be strong; be brave.

And we need to especially be courageous when others are observing the way we face our trials, whether they be cancer, family crises, job loss or whatever. You never know who you can inspire with the hope and courage that you show as you take on your battle and endure. And I hope my words today have done just that for you.

A team of researchers led by Bill Sellers, a professor of computational and evolutionary biology at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, used lasers to scan a 131footlong (40 meters) skeleton of the Argentinosaurus huinculensis. The scientists then created advanced computer models to digitally recreate how the dinosaur walked and ran.

"If you want to work out how dinosaurs walked, the best approach is computer simulation," Sellers said in a statement. "This is the only way of bringing together all the different strands of information we have on this dinosaur, so we can reconstruct how it once moved." Michael Jordan Bulls Jersey

Previously, it was suggested Argentinosaurus' bulky size may have led to problems walking, but the new simulations show the massive, 88ton dinosaur was able to keep up a pace of roughly 5 mph (8 km/h).

Being able to scan and digitally reconstruct the extinct Argentinosaurus was critical to understanding its range of motion, because there are no similar living examples, Sellers said.

"The important thing is that these dinosaurs are not like any animal alive today and so we can't just copy a modern animal," he explained. "Our machine learning system works purely from the information we have on the dinosaur and predicts the best possible movement patterns."

Researchers are keen to study how various living and extinct creatures move, in order to better understand human locomotion.

"All vertebrates from humans to fish share the same basic muscles, bones and joints," Sellers said. "To understand how these function we can compare how they are used in different animals, and the most interesting are often those at extremes. Argentinosaurus is the biggest animal that ever walked on the surface of the Earth and understanding how it did this will tell us a lot about the maximum performance of the vertebrate musculoskeletal system. We need to know more about this to help understand how it functions in ourselves."

Modeling the movement of different animals could also help researchers build more effective robots.

"Similarly if we want to build better legged robots then we need to know more about the mechanics of legs in a whole range of animals and nothing has bigger, more powerful legs than Argentinosaurus," Sellers said. Derrick Rose Jersey

Sellers and his colleagues at the University of Manchester plan to use the same techniques to recreate the movements of other dinosaurs, including Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and the king of carnivorous dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus rex.

The detailed findings of the new study were published online today (Oct. 30) in the journal PLOS ONE. Original article on LiveScience.
