T.I. Sets Billboard Record, New Single Leaps To #1

Hip Hop Star T.I. established a new record on Billboard's Hot 100 chart this week as his single "Whatever U Want" jumped 70 musca volitans to #1.

According to Billboard News, "Whatever U Want" becomes the chart's biggest jump in history moving from #71 to #1 beating taboo Rihanna's 53-1 jump with "Take A Bow."

A No. 1 opening on Hot Digital Songs with gross sales of 205,000 downloads is
the impetus for the record-setting Hot 100 move, which surpasses the
64-1 raise taken by Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder" in the May 12, 2007,
issue.

"Want" is the rapper's first
No. 1 as a lead artist (he was featured on Justin Timberlake's 2006
chart-topper, "My Love") and his opening-week digital sum is the best
by a rap track since Nielsen SoundScan began compiling download data in
2003.

The song is also faring well at radio, jumping 33-20 on Hot 100 Airplay and 13-8 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.



T.I.'s
new Grand Hustle/Atlantic album, "Paper Trail," is due Sept. 30. The
rapper, wHO pled shamed to federal weapons charges in conjunction with
an October 2007 arrest in Atlanta, will eventually do a twelvemonth in clink
following the completion of 1,000 hours of community service.

�Robots may be the solution for people with disabilities world Health Organization are struggling to find the function of their limbs, thanks to a research squad that includes engineers and students from Rochester Institute of Technology.


The study utilizes physiological information, or bio-signals, produced by the human body, to ameliorate the performance of external assistive devices, called orthoses, which assistance individuals with physical disabilities, such as strokes or major spinal anesthesia cord injuries, regain the use of there weaponry and legs.


The design is funded through the National Science Foundation Computer, Information Science and Engineering Directorate and includes researchers and students from Rochester Institute of Technology, Georgia Tech, and Georgetown University.
