So You Think You Can Dance had quite the performance on Tuesday night.


Not only did the Fox drama reveal the two winners of season ten, but executive producer Nigel Lythgoe announced that the reality dance competition had officially been renewed for season 11. Lythgoe found out the happy news "five minutes before we went live." Now that's news to dance over, no?!


So which of the four finalists were crowned the winners of season ten: Aaron Turner, Amy Yakima, Jasmine Harper or DuShaunt "Fik-Shun" Stegall?

Meet the male and female winners: Fik-Shun and Amy! "The most crazy/amazing experience of my life!" Amy wrote prior to the finale. "So honored to be given so many opportunities to live my dream!"


As for the show's renewal, SYTYCD's most recent episode attracted 4.2 million viewers and notched a 1.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demo. "Can I get a wooohoooo season 11 coming your way," judge Mary Murphy tweeted. "Keep your dancing shoes on!"


The series is nominated for several Emmys this year, including Best Reality-Competition Program, and host Cat Deeley is up for Outstanding Host.

Security Think Tank: Prism unlikely to change much

So the spies actually spy. Shock, horror. 

The media was full of the alleged actions of the US government and the existence of a programme called Prism.

Networks and the monitoring of them have been fair game since they came into existence and to believe otherwise is rather naive. One can only hope that any monitoring is appropriate, controlled and legal.

Given that such alleged monitoring activities are likely to be conducted by many nations and, given that those nations will have a pretty good idea what others do, I personally doubt that these revelations will significantly raise the risk level for the US government.

Yes, there will be a blip of increased malicious activity from some quarters against US systems, but upticks of such activity can be generated by many events.  

The public, left to their own devices, will quickly forget.
