Hi! Vitoria Castro here, founder of "Dominate Video Marketing". Even though it's 7 in the morning here is Brazil, I decided to create this video about 7 Rookie Mistakes with Video and How to Avoid Them. When I look at some of the videos of my students and all the people, I see these mistakes. So I just wanted you to be aware of them and start avoiding them. Okay, so let's get started.
Being boring.
How not to be boring? If you notice that you talk a bit slow like me. It is very important that you create some cards on your video and editing some music and everything to make your video more entertaining and also change your posture, okay? Kind of like they do at Wizmotions.
Also you can use whiteboard animation videos if you want. Don't talk like this as you are just talking to your computer or camera.
Or just show respect really talk as you're confident. Remember the cardinal rule of content creation: it's all about the viewer, not you. Your only intention is to provide massive value to your viewer. You can make some of your videos like telling a powerful story though, so make it short and to the point. Poor camera movement. Always focus on the subject.
Also, use a tripod to stop the movement. I'm in Brazil right now and I'm so sorry from doing this mistake right now. Also, do not zoom okay? Even if you are doing a scribe video or an explainer video you shouldn't be doing that. The image is not good usually. It's harder for you to control the movement. Poor lighting. Poor, poor, poor. Can you see the difference? I'm exactly at the same place.
By the way, that is a beautiful view don't you think? If you're looking at the sun, that's good to go. But if the sun is in your back, do not record it. So remember, you need to be looking at the sun, or to the light source. For shooting outdoors, do it in the morning or afternoon. Or if you're shooting indoors, at least use some lamps that you have at home while you're having some lighting coming from the window. And now, poor audio. Stop for a moment and listen. If you're in the indoors or outdoors, always check for any background noise: air conditioner, refrigerator going on, overhead planes.
Also use an extended microphone. Check your audio before you start shooting. And now improper editing. To avoid this, you need to learn how to use software. You don't really need to be good at it but you need to know the basics. Also, avoid distracting transitions. If you add some music remember to lower the volume down a little bit at the very end. Poor framing. You care for this by focusing on the eyes on you talking head videos. Use the rule of thirds. If you don't know the rule of thirds, watch this video here to learn about it. And this is the very first mistake that I think is very important for you to know — not doing videos. You can avoid this by making a decision to do a video. Blocking out a filming day and or editing day, make it simple. And also ask for help and I'm here every time you need, okay?
Well, in talking about that, don't forget to go to the link below and sign-up for my free and easy to learn video marketing. This is Vitoria Castro helping you express your message using the power of video.

I am using advanced powder and mix up some bottles for my daughter. Now, she is 8 months now and used to up to last week drink 4 8oz bottles daily with some rice cereal and jarred food on the side. Now, she seems to demand more food and less formula. She is drinking from 6 to 5 oz a feed 3 times then before bed will drink about a full 7 oz. is this normal??!!! She is still refusing to drink from a cup and dosent seem to like fruit juice in her cup when I try. Am I doing this right?
My baby is still young so i'm going through similar issues. This site has a chart that tells about how much formula your baby should be eating and how many bottles at each stage. there is also another chart that tells at which stage to introduce different foods and how much you should be giving your baby on a daily basis. Both of these charts have helped me tremendously. My daughter is 6 months old now and on a daily basis she drinks between 28 and 30 oz of formula a day (including what i put in her cereal) Her schedule looks like this
7am: 6oz bottle
11am: 5tbs banana oatmeal cereal with 2 oz of formula mixed with pureed blueberries and about 1/8 cup of pureed fruit
2pm: 7oz bottle
5:30pm: 6oz bottle with 1/8 cup of pureed veggies
9pm: 7oz bottle before bed
I always offer a 7oz bottle, but she won't always eat all of it... so the amounts she actually takes in is an average. She also gets puffs at least once a day so that she can work on her coordination with bringing small food to her mouth. As soon as i find where the charts are i'll post where to find them.
ok here are the links. I could tell you where to find it, but it's much easier to just give you the links so here they are
This one is for the average on how much formula the baby should be eating on a daily basis by age: http://similac.com/feeding-nutrition/formula-feeding/best-baby-formula
this one is what ages different things should be introduced to your baby and how much: http://similac.com/baby-development/bonding-and-development/growing-babies
I hope these help

I guess they need to write something.........anything. That said, I do love what Adelman is doing. That inside out is a lot like Riley's old Heat teams with Mourning. Nothing easy inside. Im surprise more teams dont play this way. Joshua21 mentions the bucks........and they have such a big front line they dont have to do this. Size is going to be an issue going forward for miami i think.
Commitment to defensive philosophy keeps Wolves afloat despite injuries
By Rob Mahoney
Fate seems to be chipping away at the feet, ankles, knees and hands of the Timberwolves.
First fell Ricky Rubio, the soul of the Wolves' renaissance, downed by a torn ACL. Then went Kevin Love, taking his MVP-caliber production with him on a months-long recovery from a broken hand. Microwave-like guard J.J. Barea soon followed, the victim of a freak foot sprain. Brandon Roy, too, was pulled off the court, not long before Chase Budinger tore his meniscus and required season-altering surgery. Even Nikola Pekovic turned his ankle and exited Minnesota's most recent game.
There are unlucky teams, and then there are the 2012-13 Timberwolves — early victims of misfortune piled on misfortune, and the improbable owners of one of the Western Conference's best records.
"We just keep losing guys," forward Andrei Kirilenko said. "It's like in the old ancient times. … There was that one king who was always winning the battle but losing so [many] people during the battle. So we're like that king — winning battles but losing guys. What can we do? We just keep playing hard and try not to lose."
And, remarkably, those efforts are paying off. Minnesota has gradually been stripped of four starters and two critical reserves, and yet Kirilenko and his few healthy teammates have managed to win five of their first seven games by banking on a seemingly impossible level of continuity. It's early in the season and Minnesota's lineup has been marred to the point of being unrecognizable, but the Wolves have quickly established an identity and the resolve to play by its directives. In the absence of a superstar, an offensive rudder and any semblance of good health, the Wolves have established themselves as a smart and hard-working defensive team.
"Our defense has been terrific night after night," coach Rick Adelman said. "We had one bad game together in Toronto where they shot the three really well. We also had a game against Brooklyn where they shot the three for three quarters really well. But other than those six quarters, we've been very consistent, night-in and night-out, guarding people. I think with the injuries and everything you have to have that to give yourself a chance to win in the fourth quarter. Our guys have really bought into that and we've been defending very well."
The Wolves rank seventh in points allowed per possession, but even more impressive are the specifics of their defensive profile. Adelman's team has played the best shot defense in the league (as measured by effective field-goal percentage) without overcommitting on its contests or giving opponents free trips to the foul line — a combination of defensive system and savvy that has kept an otherwise limited team competing at a high level. Minnesota doesn't force all that many turnovers, but instead subscribes to a defensive philosophy built on smothering dribble penetration and then closing out hard on perimeter shooters to funnel them toward more inefficient attempts.
That may leave the Wolves a bit vulnerable to the more precise drive-and-kick offenses, but it also allows an energetic team to compensate for its lack of a standout interior defender. Pekovic is surprisingly mobile, but simply isn't equipped to aggressively pressure pick-and-rolls or deter opponents from attacking the basket. So instead, Minnesota's D uses Pekovic as an obstruction while relying on swarming help from Kirilenko and perimeter players.
"[Adelman] wants to start his defense from the inside and work out," Roy said. "I don't want to say that he doesn't care if a guy gets a three-pointer on the weak side, but he much prefers if everybody collapses in the paint and works their way out to shooters. Our strategy has been that whenever a guy has the ball and is attacking the paint that everybody collapses in, and when they kick out to find shooters, we just have to do a good job of rotating out and closing out. And because of that, we put a lot of pressure on one another to make sure we're ready to help."
It's a creative use of the personnel available, and one that has held up surprisingly well given all of the compromises Minnesota has had to make because of injury. Playing good team defense typically requires a consistency in execution and a familiarity between teammates, both of which are complicated given the early injuries (to say nothing of the Wolves' remodeled roster). But Minnesota makes it all seem so easy, in part because of the stability that Adelman himself lends to the entire operation.
"In this locker room, we just have a great focus," Roy said. "We're not going to complain or point any fingers. We're just going to continue to go out and play. That trickles down from the top — that's just how coach is. He hasn't changed one thing about how he coaches since guys went out. It's the same way every day. And because of that, I think our mindset's been pretty much the same also. Whoever's in here has to go out and do the job, and he expects you to do the job."
It's one thing for a coach to expect such effort and returns, and another entirely for a teacher like Adelman to actually instill in his team the necessary tools. After all, accountability is only a realistic expectation if the players have the systemic facilities to achieve the team's goals. It's clear from their play and their comments that the Wolves are on the same page in that regard and sharing in the notion that their execution need not be determined by their horrible injury luck. Minnesota's players don't need Love on the court in order to make the correct rotations, nor do they need Rubio in the lineup in order to make the extra pass. The only true requisite is a belief that the details matter — that all of these reps and all of these games aren't lost because of sprains and breaks and tears.
In that, performance is as much a product of the system as it is the confidence inspired by it. A sound scheme with a good coach as its salesman can manufacture hope where there ought be none, and these Timberwolves stand testament to that very notion.
what a joke of an article...in the offseason the twolves were predicted as high as finishing 3rd in the west..by si.com nonetheless. The Milwaukee Bucks are 1st in there division, and its really not a fluke thus far, they are playing defense, playing as a team, and playing there whole bench excessively. Terrible article, at least if your into facts.
Too early to call for Adelman being coach of the year? I SAY NO.

Executive Excess 2013: Bailed Out, Booted, and Busted
This 20th anniversary Executive Excess report examines the "performance" of the 241 corporate chief executives who have ranked among America's 25 highest-paid CEOs in one or more of the past 20 years.
The lavishly compensated CEOs we spotlight here should be exemplars of value-added performance. After all, sky-high CEO pay purportedly reflects the superior value that elite chief executives add to their enterprises and the broader U.S. economy.
But our analysis reveals widespread poor performance within America's elite CEO circles. Nearly 40 percent of the CEOs on these highest-paid lists were eventually "bailed out, booted, or busted."

Rejecting the "flat worldism" of the globalists as well as the peaks and valleys of trade and aid policies over the years, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh guide us through the raging debate over the best route to development for the poorer nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
This book takes readers on a journey through the rise and fall of the one-size-fits-all model of development that richer nations began imposing on poorer ones three decades ago. That model — called the "Washington Consensus" by its backers and "neoliberalism" or "market fundamentalism" by its critics — placed enormous power in markets to solve the problems of the poor.
The authors have stood at the epicenter of these debates from their perches in the United Nations, the U.S. government, academia, and civil society. They guide us back in time to understand why the Washington Consensus dominated for so long, and how it devastated workers, the environment, and the poor. At the same time, they chart the rise of an "alter-globalization" movement of those adversely affected by market fundamentalism. Today, this movement is putting alternatives into action across the globe, and what constitutes development is being redefined.

This fully updated and expanded second edition of The Field Guide to the Global Economy presents the latest facts to help make sense of the rapidly changing international economy. Illustrated throughout with charts, graphs, and cartoons, the book documents new trends, including the foreign "outsourcing" of U.S. service jobs, as well as the increasing influence of mega-firms like Wal-Mart and labor union–free China on workers around the globe.
Published in conjunction with the Institute for Policy Studies, an independent research institute based in Washington, D.C., this accessible guide explains how global institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and North American Free Trade Agreement affect communities, workers, the poor, and the environment. The book dispels the widely disseminated propaganda about current globalization policies and provides an update on the burgeoning movement that is challenging them, from Bolivian water warriors to U.S. student anti-sweatshop activists.

Executive Excess 2011: The Massive CEO Rewards for Tax Dodging
Corporations don't dodge taxes. The people who run corporations do. And these people — America's CEOs — are reaping awesomely lavish rewards for the tax dodging they have their corporations do.
In fact, corporate tax dodging has gone so out of control that 25 major U.S. corporations last year paid their chief executives more than they paid Uncle Sam in federal income taxes.
This year's Institute for Policy Studies Executive Excess report, our 18th annual, explores the intersection between CEO pay and aggressive corporate tax dodging.

In many countries around the world, there is growing momentum behind proposals to place a very small tax on transactions of stock, currency, derivatives, and other financial assets. Such financial speculation taxes are one of the few available options that could generate the enormous financial resources required to pay for the continuing costs of the global financial and economic crisis, including reducing the high rate of job loss, and to achieve key development, health, education and climate change objectives in developing countries. Even at very low rates, such taxes could also discourage the type of short-term financial speculation that has little social value but poses high risks to the economy.

Combining attacking ambition with defensive strength, Rafael da Silva is perhaps the epitome of the modern full-back.
The Brazilian starlet is already a full international, having excelled at United since making his first team debut during a 1-1 draw with Newcastle in August 2008 - a surprise outing that was prompted by an inspired display in Barry Fry's testimonial earlier in the month.
Incredibly, what made Rafa's bow even more impressive was the fact he hadn't played competitively in over a year while the Reds applied for international clearance on his (and twin brother Fabio) transfer from Fluminense.
With surpreme confidence and ambition, he made several noteworthy appearances thoughout the 2008/09 campaign, scoring his first goal at Arsenal in November before staking a claim for the full-time right-back berth ahead of Messrs Neville and Brown.
As a result, Sir Alex Ferguson soon offered a two-year contract extension and a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award was soon won, as well as a place on the bench for the UEFA Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.

It's been a busy few weeks for Dan, so I think we're due a bit of a round up!
The F Word will be released in the US on 1st August 2015 (as What If), opening in LA and NY and expanding across the country over the following two weekends. It will be released elsewhere, under its original title, from 22nd August.
Originally scheduled for a January 2015 release, Frankenstein has been pushed back to October 2015. Dan finished work on the film last week, and said goodbye to his Igor hair extensions with a post on his Google+ page.
Kill Your Darlings is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray in the US, and is scheduled for a UK release 21st April. The extras include deleted scenes, one of which can be seen here.
The three month Broadway run of The Cripple of Inishmaan starts in just a fortnight, with the original London cast set to reprise their roles. Dan spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his return to the New York stage, and the lessons he has learned from his time on Broadway and the West End. You can read the interview here.
A new TV advert for the play has been released, and is embedded below.
Dan will be participating in a Times Talk on 31st March to promote the play, and you will be able to watch a livestream of the 90 minute talk here. The event starts at 6:30pm EDT (11:30pm BST), and should be archived for those of you that don't fancy staying up until the wee small hours.
On 1st April, Dan will be a guest on Live with Kelly and Michael, and on the 3rd April, he will appear on the Tonight Show Featuring Jimmy Fallon. The 4th April will see Dan making an appearance on The Today Show. Check your local listings for times and channels.
The Cripple of Inishmaan opens in previews at the Cort Theatre on 12th April, with opening night 20th April, and runs until 20th July. You can buy tickets here.
Definition of EPIGRAM, courtesy of Merriam Webster:
1 : a concise poem dealing pointedly and often satirically with a single thought or event and often ending with an ingenious turn of thought
2 : a terse, sage, or witty and often paradoxical saying
3 : epigrammatic expression
Let's talk Twitter.
Dan has mentioned countless times that he doesn't have a Twitter account, so it stands repeating – he doesn't have a Twitter account. He just doesn't, however much some of us may want him to.
Unfortunately, over 800,000 of you have been fooled by @DanieIRadcIiffe, who is passing off Dan's Google+ posts as original tweets. That account, and any other claiming to be Dan, are all fakes. Fake accounts may seem innocuous, but people are quick to believe what they read on the internet and there are unscrupulous people willing to exploit that. Dan's only social media presence is on Google+, and his page can be found here.
If and when Dan does join Twitter, you'll read about it here and on other fan websites, and he will have a little blue 'verified' symbol next to his user name.
So, unfollow the fakes (and if you haven't already, follow us) and make your Twitter feed a much nicer place.
Dan has just been presented with The What's On Stage Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance as Billy Claven in The Cripple of Inishmaan.
Congratulations, Dan!

Ford Motor Company
Lincoln Motor Company
Ford Motor Company
We want to hear from our site visitors and customers! Please use the form below to share your thoughts and questions about this website, Ford Motor Company and our products.
Ford Motor Company receives unsolicited ideas from the public and non-traditional suppliers. We review ideas and when appropriate, forward them to offices at Ford Motor Company for further evaluation. The ideas that receive an intensive review are well-developed, bring something new to the market, provide a competitive advantage and appeal to a broad customer base. If you have a suggestion regarding an existing product, please direct it to the Customer Relationship Center.
Your ideas are your intellectual property and they may be valuable. When you share your ideas with others, you risk losing the rights to your idea once it is disclosed. In order to mitigate this risk, you should contact your attorney about whether it is appropriate to share your ideas with others.
We welcome your ideas, but we can only review them according to our carefully established rules. Our rules may be strict, but that is because we don't want to mislead or inadvertently raise your expectations. We want you to know where you stand from the start so you can protect your interests. To begin, click on "Learn how to protect your ideas".
Ford Motor Company also takes a substantial risk when we review non-patented ideas from outside of the Company. A mere idea is not valuable until a significant amount of money is invested developing it, so we must be extremely cautious about which ideas receive funds. In addition, ideas that are submitted to the company may already be disclosed in prior literature and patents, may have been previously considered or already developed by us, or we may be developing an idea that is similar to your idea. This can cause confusion about the origin of the idea. We must be able to prove that our idea was developed independently of your idea.
Determining who developed what aspects of an idea can be a complex and time-consuming process involving hundreds of people. There is considerably less risk if we develop ideas from the people we employ. In fact the vast majority of the ideas used by Ford Motor Company originate with our employees or suppliers.
In order to review your idea and mitigate our risk, we developed the following rules and terms & conditions. If you would like us to review your idea, you must agree to them.
Please read the rules and terms & conditions carefully and contact your attorney before submitting ideas to the Company.
Qualifications for review
In order to be considered, submissions must relate to products, manufacturing methods or machines that are used by Ford and its companies. Ideas that primarily relate to items purchased by Ford should be directed to Fords suppliers.
Also, you must agree to Idea Submission Terms & Conditions.
Examples of ideas and suggestions that will not be considered are:
1. Confidential information of any type
2. Product styling or design
3. Product names, slogans or logos
4. Ways of conducting some part of the business
Please do not submit confidential information. Ford will not keep your idea confidential, as your idea will be copied and distributed to many people at Ford for evaluation. We do not wish to make your idea public, but there are a large number of Ford specialists that will review the idea, so it may be discussed with individuals outside of the company. If you would like to keep your materials confidential, do NOT send them to us. WE WILL NOT REVIEW CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
Please note that if you have preliminary discussions with Ford employees or specialists, they are not authorized to accept information on a confidential or restricted basis.
You are free to submit your idea to other companies without informing us; however, we request that you do not disclose that Ford is considering your idea.
Ford agrees to review your idea when properly submitted via the Idea Submission Process, according to the Idea Submission Rules and under the Idea Submission Terms & Conditions. We have no obligation to use your idea.
In return for your acceptance of the Idea Submission Terms & Conditions, Ford Motor Company offers a non-confidential, preliminary evaluation of your submitted materials. We cannot discuss compensation during this preliminary evaluation. Following the preliminary evaluation, if we are interested in pursuing your project, you will be notified per Step 4 of The Process, "Evaluation and Response." At that time, we may be able to discuss additional terms such as compensation.
Ford Motor Company does not act in a consulting capacity. We are not obligated to provide you with an explanation for any decision the Company reaches. This applies to the original disclosure as well as to anything you later disclose, orally or in writing. We assume no obligation to tell you something we already knew or have discovered since you submitted your idea.
You must own the idea you are submitting. You cannot submit the idea of another person or party. The idea must be the original creation of the individual who signs the disclosure form and the signor must have the exclusive right to submit the idea to the company. Further, the signor must have the legal right to negotiate the idea with us and the power and authority to grant any and all rights in the material. This does not mean that you are granting any rights under a patent, which you already have or may obtain in the future, during this preliminary review.
Often, employers will require an employee to sign an employment contract. Some conditions of this contract may be that the company will own ideas related to their business. Please determine whether your employer owns the idea you are submitting. Ford cannot accept ideas that are in violation of an agreement or understanding with another party, such as your current or former employer.
You must be at least 18 years old.
As a global company, we prefer correspondences in English. We recognize that our business is conducted in several languages around the world, but our primary language for business transactions is English and the Consumer Innovation Office is located in Dearborn, Michigan USA. We rarely accept innovations in other languages, as this severely limits the distribution of your ideas within the Company.
I understand and agree to be bound to the following terms and conditions when I submit my idea to Ford Motor Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries (herein collectively referred to as "Ford").
I agree to follow the "Idea Submission Rules".
I am at least 18 years old.
I am the owner or authorized agent of the owner of the idea I am submitting to Ford.
The information I am submitting to Ford is true and correct.
I am not violating any agreement or understanding I have with another party, including my current or former employer.
I am aware that under the law of the United States and most foreign countries, I may be able to protect my idea through application for patents, trademarks, copyrights or maintain my idea as a trade secret by protecting it from non-confidential disclosure.
I am giving up all copyright and other intellectual property right claims (other than patent and trademark claims) I may have against Ford for copying, disclosing, evaluating or otherwise using my idea.
Ford is under no obligation to use my idea or to hold it in confidence.
I will not be compensated for ideas developed by Ford independent of the idea I submit to Ford.

Which suitor would be the best fit for Rooney?
The future of Wayne Rooney at Manchester United remains unclear. Prior to Sir Alex Ferguson's departure the exiting manager confirmed that Rooney had handed in a transfer request at the end of last season and many were unsure whether the appointment of David Moyes, a man the striker left behind at Everton early in his career, would improve or exacerbate matters.
While uncertainty still lingers over Rooney's frame of mind it's been no surprise to see a number of Europe's top clubs take an interest in the situation, with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as Real Madrid and PSG from further afield, all rumoured to be circling.
- Rooney 'unhappy over transfer claim'
In this piece WhoScored attempt to gauge which of those sides needs a player like Rooney the most, though none would be reluctant to acquire a player of the Englishman's quality.
It's fair to say that last season wasn't the 27-year-old's best in a United shirt, though it did follow a familiar pattern in term's of the forward's league statistics over the past five seasons. The fact that Rooney scored fewer goals (12), but proved to be more of a creative force, with 10 assists, was as much to do with the arrival of Robin van Persie than it was his own form.
The former Everton man has had to adapt, or been forced to do so, due to the comings and goings at United in recent seasons, switching between the role as an out-and-out forward and more of a withdrawn second striker. Last season he was deployed in an attacking midfield role, having been the focal point of United's attack, scoring 27 goals, the season before.
In the 2008-09 season he scored just 12 league goals before going on to net 26 in the following campaign. In 2010-11 his goal tally dropped once again, to 11, but he picked up a much-improved 11 assists from the three in the previous season. Last season, despite striking 27 times, he picked up just four assists, so if the pattern were to continue, it could be predicted that Rooney is in line for another high-scoring campaign ahead.
The fact is, however, that the player has played deeper and deeper over the last season, and many see him moving back toward the midfield with age. In that case, his suitability to a number of his apparent aforementioned suitors is thrown into doubt.
Chelsea have a glut of attacking midfielders but lack the cutting edge. Whether a player of Rooney's style would fit that role at the Bridge is doubtful, and he would be unlikely to displace fans' favourite Juan Mata in behind the striker - whoever that may be.
It's a similar case at Arsenal. The Gunners' star man Santi Cazorla is no doubt best stationed in the number 10 role, despite being a more than capable interior winger on either flank. Although Theo Walcott might as well stamp the word "striker" on his head, having insisted that is his best position, it seems Arsene Wenger is still on the lookout for a number nine, with Gonzalo Higuain strongly linked. Again, it's unclear whether Rooney could fill that role, despite obviously having the technique to fit in with Arsenal's playing style.
The link that seems to make the least sense is perhaps one to Real Madrid, however. The Spanish giants have recently completed the signing of Isco and it's already been questioned whether Ancelotti can field another player between midfield and attack with Mesut Ozil already in place. The potential addition of Rooney, then, may only leave the Italian with the choice of who to leave out rather than how to fit them all in.
Despite their hot pursuit of striker Edinson Cavani, it is perhaps Paris Saint-Germain who could use the variety that Rooney offers to the best effect.
As well as ending the season as the top scorer by an incredible distance, Zlatan Ibrahimovic also led the team in terms of assists, with eight, and it's clear how much the Ligue 1 champions relied on the Swede last season.
Playing in either a 4-2-2-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation, the Parisian moneybags lacked a true creative force in advanced areas, with Javier Pastore picking up a decent seven assists but from just 1.1 key passes per game. Rooney's 10 assists came from significantly more chances created per game (1.8), and although PSG forked out big bucks to bring the likes of Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi to the Parc des Princes, it's fair to say they haven't really lived up to their price tags.
Rooney, on the other hand, has the capability to play both alongside Ibrahimovic, representing a frightening prospect to Ligue 1 defences, or in behind the big man, linking up play and picking out passes as he does so often at Old Trafford.
The England international trumps the likes of Lucas Moura (36.7), Jeremy Menez (30.7) and Lavezzi (31.7) for passes per game, with 45.8. While that figure is just shy of Pastore (49.8), Rooney played further forward, with 77% of his passes coming in the final third compared to 73% of the Argentine's.
Even so, the United man still had a markedly superior pass accuracy overall (82.9% to 77.2%). In addition, he also offers a greater range of passing than the current crop Laurent Blanc is set to inherit, completing far more long balls per game (3.7) than his competitors here.
Whether the former Red Devils defender's connections with the club would help in negotiating a deal is questionable, particularly given that the manager who brought the Frenchman to Manchester has since left, but a move across the channel could suit all parties involved.
United wouldn't be losing a top player to a domestic rival and PSG would show clear intent that they are up for the battle with the mega stars making the move to Monaco.
Crucially, Rooney's goal record would surely rise in France's top flight, and he may be the man to take some of the burden off the considerable shoulders of Ibrahimovic.

Oxford saw its season end with a 6-2 loss to Buckhorn at the Huntsville Sportsplex, and it came in about the worst way possible: The Yellow Jackets fell after fighting and clawing through a 14-inning marathon that lasted 3 hours, 30 minutes.
This came after an eight-inning loss by one run to Grissom in the opening round Friday night. Two games, two losses, and a gutty Oxford team was out of the double-elimination tournament.
"The kids never quit," Oxford coach Wendy McKibbin said after giving consoling hugs to several of her players. "We continued to fight. We just don't quit.
"Some things didn't go our way, but we came from behind and tied it up. We've been coming from behind all year. Nobody has flat beat us. We always fought."
Oxford (30-19) entered the regional having won nine of its previous 11 games, but the Yellow Jackets struggled to score.
On Saturday, both teams got their first batter of the game on base and across the plate for a run. For Oxford, Lexie Higgins scored on Jenn Turner's groundout.
But the game remained 1-1 until the 11th when Buckhorn's Jennifer Kern singled home Shelby Miller in the top half of the inning. Oxford answered in the bottom half.
Sydney Williams doubled with two outs and nobody on, and she scored on an error. Buckhorn couldn't come up with a grounder by Higgins.
In the 14th, Buckhorn took advantage of three Oxford errors and a bases-loaded walk to score four times. In the bottom half, Oxford managed to load the bases with two outs but couldn't push across a run.
Oxford also loaded the bases in the third inning but couldn't score.
Oxford eighth-grader JoJo Skinner pitched the first 11 innings, allowing 10 hits and only one earned run. She walked only one batter. Williams worked the final three innings.
"They both did a good job," McKibbin said.
At the plate, Williams was 3-for-6. Stewart Gail Chase was 2-for-6.
Also at the North Regional, Cedar Bluff lost a Class 1A elimination game to Falkville 11-6. In 2A, Sand Rock lost the winners' bracket final to Hatton 10-0 in five innings.

Hollywell Lane, LondonOctober 2010Freehand Spray Paint on Wall
The first year of Moniker Art Fair I was invited to re-visit the wall that I had previously painted VANDALISM on, many moons ago. Painting this wall gave me the opportunity to think about how much street art has changed and how different it was not so long ago. When I had painted Vandalism on this same wall the question I was pondering was is it art or is it vandalism. Painting walls and producing street art has become, in those years, a much more calculated process, with artists concentrating more on using their pieces to market themselves with an aim to make money rather than just the sheer enjoyment of painting something outside for effect. This being the first large-scale event concentrating solely on street art and targeting an international audience this fact was more apparent to me than ever. Calculate fitted the space and it fitted the motives.

A decade of Republican rule nearly doubled our national debt. Why would we go back?

Democrats are taking America in a New Direction - creating good American jobs, providing the lowest taxes in 60 years for the middle class and small businesses, and closing tax loopholes that send jobs overseas.
The Obama Administration has launched "Recovery Summer" - which will highlight groundbreakings and events across the country that are funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Recovery Act has already given tax cuts to 98 percent of Americans, funded tens of thousands of projects and put about 2.5 million Americans to work, but summer 2010 is poised to be the most active Recovery Act season to date, with tens of thousands of projects underway across the country that will help to create jobs for American workers and economic growth for businesses.

Midland Daily News (Michigan) - Biden touts Recovery Act at Midland battery plant site
Vice President Joe Biden called on America to innovate its way to a new economy at a groundbreaking event for the Dow Kokam battery facility in Midland.
The vice president is on a tour highlighting American Recovery and Reinvestment Act initiatives across the country. Dow Kokam received a $161 million grant to help create battery systems to be used in hybrid and electrical vehicles.
The company plans to create about 800 full-time jobs when at full capacity in the years ahead, and about 1,000 construction jobs are expected to support the project. [6/21/10]
The Courier-Journal (Kentucky) - Stimulus to fund 1,000 summer jobs for Louisville young people [MEMBER MENTIONED: John Yarmuth (KY-3)]
About $46 million in federal stimulus money has come to Kentucky -- including $6 million to Louisville -- to create a summer jobs program for disadvantaged young people and adults with children.
Gov. Steve Beshear announced the program Monday with U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth and Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson. The program is expected to put 10,000 people to work this summer statewide, with 800 to 1,000 of those jobs in Jefferson County.
'The stimulus program is meant to create economic activity, whether it's extending unemployment benefits or paying for a construction worker on the Watterson' Expressway, Yarmuth said. 'It really doesn't matter how the money gets into the economy, as long as it does.' [6/21/10]
KCUR 89.3-FM (Missouri) - New Summer Job Opportunities for Some KC Teens [MEMBER MENTIONED: Emanuel Cleaver (MO-5)]
About 4800 young people whose families are on public assistance will get jobs throughout Missouri this summer. Governor Jay Nixon and Congressman Emanuel Cleaver kicked off a federally-funded jobs program this afternoon, while fresh concrete was laid in front of a house for a walkway.
Some of the Kansas City youth in the Missouri Summer Jobs Program will be improving drainage and make other environmental improvements to homes in the Green Impact Zone. That's the economically-strapped section of the city where Congressman Cleaver is trying to concentrate federal stimulus funds. Rep. Cleaver said the work will benefit both the neighborhoods and the youth. [6/22/10]

Pacific Coast Business Times (California) - Broadband stimulus cash lands at Occam
In one of the biggest stimulus grants to filter down to a tri-county business, Goleta-based Occam Networks will supply equipment for a $101 million project to bring broadband access to rural Western Kansas.
Occam will provide networking equipment to Kansas-based Rural Telephone's Nex-Tech, which will connect 23,000 households and businesses across 4,600 square miles.
In March, federal officials unveiled the National Broadband Plan, a roadmap for wiring some of the remotest parts of the country.
The $101 million project will create jobs both in Santa Barbara and Kansas. Vela said it could create engineering and support positions at Occam. Rural Telephone will take on 17 full-time employees to run the upgraded services and expects to create 350 to 400 contracting jobs. [6/21/10]

SABMiller reveals Europe's most popular beer drinking destination
12 November 2010
SABMiller today publishes research into beer drinking culture around Europe. The findings include:
- Britain is the biggest round-buying nation, with 82% of people saying that they buy beer in rounds - three times more than in Germany, where drinkers prefer to pay for their own drinks individually
- British bosses are amongst the most sociable in Europe - and the most generous, whereas French bosses are the least likely to ever go out for a beer with their teams
- British women are big believers in equality - more than half think that men and women should split the beer tab on a date
Read the full report here
Prague, Amsterdam and Berlin have been named the top European destinations for a beer, according to a new report into European beer drinking culture by SABMiller, one of the world's largest brewers.
The report, 'Whose Round?' which was researched across 12 European countries, found that 20% of all respondents named Prague as their top city for a beer, although Brits chose London, followed by Dublin, as their beer-drinking destination of choice.
Prague was chosen as the top city by respondents from five countries and was particularly popular with beer drinkers from its Eastern European neighbours. Second placed Amsterdam trailed with 13% of the vote. London was fifth overall, proving most popular with Romanian, Czech and Dutch drinkers - as well as Brits.
As well as the British; Dutch, Germans and French beer drinkers all showed their national pride by voting their own capital the top place for a pint. Propping up the bottom of the league table were Bucharest, Bratislava and Warsaw, landing only 1% of the vote each.
Nigel Fairbrass from SABMiller said: "It is no great surprise that Prague is the most sought-after city for Europeans to enjoy a pint; the Czech Republic produces some of the world's finest beers and is home of the original Pilsner, Pilsner Urquell. Equally it's interesting to note that Brits don't think London can be beaten when it comes to beer."
'Your Round?' surveyed a range of beer drinking cultural trends across Europe, including which countries are most likely to socialise after work - and which have the most generous bosses; which nation of men are most likely to expect a woman to pay her way on a date; and the celebrities that Europeans would most like to go for a beer with.
Great Britain, Romania and Italy have the most generous bosses when it comes to buying beer whilst French bosses are the most misérables. The Dutch are the least likely to go out drinking with
colleagues (34%) but when they do, they have the most generous bosses, with 37% saying that their boss will sometimes or always stand a round.
Brits' choice of celebrity beer drinking buddies were Cheryl Cole and Stephen Fry, whilst Barack Obama and Angelina Jolie were the most popular across Europe.

This is the first time I have ever repied to or posted ANYTHING online! No facebook. . .no blog. . .no Twitter. I started a BFL challenge in Oct 2000 with a friend who inspired me with her success. I was 33 years old, four yrs married, and a three yr old daughter in tow. I began the challenge MORTIFIED by the reality that I was heavier three years AFTER delivering our daughter, than the day before her birth. At 5 ft. 10 in. tall I weighed in at 241 lbs and 3? % of body fat. I was disgusted to say the least. By week 8 I was down 11 lbs and 6% body fat. We wanted another child and had been trying for 2 years. While working out one morning, I said to my friend, "Watch, Daph, now that I've found some success, I'll get pregnant!" Two weeks later I mentioned feeling "a little bit nautios all the time". Our son was born one week after 9/11.
I am 43 and 275 lbs or so (will input exact weight on Day 1). I won't waste time with the gorry details about the DOZENS of attempts at losing the post SECOND baby fat. I deivered him at 269 and thought, "At least I only gained 39 lbs with this one!" A seemingly far cry from the 70+ lbs I had gained with my first pregnancy. My children have never known the strong, lean, determined collegiate volleyball player I was before our marriage. And my sweet husband hasn't seen her since we were dating and two months after our wedding. We were parents before our first anniversary. I just recently remembered, and dared to hope, that after trying everything ELSE out there to feel like the athlete that I thought I was, that MAYBE BFL really COULD be the answer. . .again. The repetative failures have only assited the self-feedback that this is . . . ." just my lot in life". I am determined to change the voices that keep me bound in this body. . .as well as this mind!
Hey Kath 43,
Congrats on your first online post! That is exciting to me but I am a geek…
Congratulations on your commitment to the BFL next week! I just started Monday this week, and cant wait to hear your progress! I am very excited to be part of this body transformation and cant wait for the personal results. My wife and I are tackling this together, we also have 2 kids, both have full time jobs, in fact my wife and I own our business, so we are doing the early shift. So far this week we have been at the gym door at 5AM to knock out our workout.
You CAN do it! Best of luck next week!
Hello there Kath 43. Diets stink. I've done a bunch too. BFL is a lifestyle change that if you can stick with after the first couple of weeks I think you will love. I'm excited you decided to post. I don't blog or do any of that stuff either but figured if I did while doing BFL it would help me stay honest with myself and focused. I'm excited to hear how your first week goes. Please keep posting. It's going to be an awesome adventure.
"Never give up. Never Surrender."
HI Kath43! You should be proud, stepping back in the ring like this. I am starting on 2/6 also, we will be classmates, good luck to us both!!!
Hi to all of you. I'm so excited by this thread. I'm starting on 2-5 and we can all journey together. I did BFL back in 2001. I had great success with it but find that I am now almost where I was when I started. Time to get serious again. I do have a question for you, or anyone that can answer. Back in 01 I used a supplement called Phen Free on cardio days. It was a fat burner supported by BFL. I've been unable to find it and I'm wondering if there is anything similar that BFL ers use. I have my Betagen, myoplex lites and I'm ready to roll. Good luck to all of us!!!!!
All the best on your fitness journey.....you can do this!!

Hi, I noticed that in my home system, there are 3 planets with no player name. When you spy or tap them however, they all say they are inhabited by frodo (me). Any idea why I seem to own these 3 level 1 planets?
Hi, I noticed that in my home system, there are 3 planets with no player name. When you spy or tap them however, they all say they are inhabited by frodo (me). Any idea why I seem to own these 3 level 1 planets?
Hi there,
Can you send me your location co-ordinates so that I can check it out and get it passed onto the QA guys so they can go all loopy-mad trying to see what's causing this. You can PM them to me if you wish.
I just check.
I see the same thing.
But I only have one of those Nameless planets in my system [227,114]
When I visit the planet it is my avatar icon and name that is in the upper left corner.
But I can't do anything where.
Then I click on my icon it shows a level 1 account with the following stats:
has destroyed 0 star bases
base has been destroyed 0 times
Total resources looted
Coins 0
Minerals 0
Hi there,
Thanks for the co-ordinates. From an assumption, it seems like people that download the game and progress in the tutorial but quit in the section where they pick Names & Avatar Style have a 'reserved' planet for when they start using game mechanics and constructing buildings, but haven't continued and therefor have these blank areas causing the game to flip out, losing it's mind, as it doesn't have the user resources and so by default the game is pulling the only 'resource' it knows and it's your username and avatar style.
I'll pass it onto the development team.
The nameless planet in my system:
When I spy on the nameless planet - See it is my name and icon in the upper left corner
The level 1 acount with my icon and name
It is exactly the same ting if I visit a nameless planet in another system.
So it doesn't need to be in my own system.
Yep, checked out a few systems with these. Will be passed to the QA and development team to fix.
It doesnt happen with your name and icon but with the name and icon of the owner of the last visited planet
It looks like you are right.
Here is a screenshot from the same nameless planet as my last message above. But this time I spied on the "Firebit" planet before visiting the nameless planet and now it is the Firebit's name and icon in the upper left corner
To update, this is being investigated and looked into although at this stage there's no ETA for it.
