Councillors will hold a second debate over plans for the Catholic Church to run a new voluntary-aided secondary school, after a campaign group collected more than 1,000 signatures opposing the proposals.
The Richmond Inclusive Schools Campaign launched an online petition on August 2 and took less than a month to reach the threshold.
Richmond Council, which is still verifying all the signatures, looks set to discuss the plans at a full meeting on Tuesday, September 13.
More than 1,000 people signed a petition supporting the proposals earlier this year - triggering the first debate - and Lord True, leader of Richmond Council, announced in July the authority would buy the Richmond Adult Community College site, in Clifden Road, Twickenham, for a new school.
He said he hoped the church would be able to move in by 2013.
Jeremy Rodell, campaign co-ordinator for the Richmond Inclusive Schools Campaign, said he was pleased the group had gained so many supporters.
He said: "It just proves what we've been saying all along, that once people wake up to this there's a lot of very strong feeling about it."
The council has faced growing pressure for a new secondary school due to Richmond's steadily rising birth rate, which increased from 2,384 in 2000 to 2,992 last year.
Mr Rodell said children should not be denied a place because of their parents' religion or beliefs and Richmond's Liberal Democrat group has also argued the Catholic archdioceses' should not get the site "at the expense of community secondary school provision".
Lord True, who has registered as an interest that he is a trustee of the Sir Harold Hood's Charitable Trust, which aims to benefit Catholic charities, said he hoped Education Secretary Michael Gove would grant the church permission to run what would be its only secondary school in the borough.
Mr Rodell said: "Our aim is not to say 'you can never have a Catholic school'. We are saying that, with all the pressures, the first priority should be an inclusive school and what they are doing should be the bottom priority.
"We think logical arguments should lead the cabinet to come to the right decision.
"That may be rather fanciful but that's the only democratic process."

A new gadget from Xerox lets users scan and wirelessly share files instantly. The Xerox Mobile Scanner is small and cordless, and sends JPG and PDF files directly to computers as well as iPhone, iPad and Android devices via Wi-Fi.
A news release from Xerox paints an interesting picture:
Your boss calls and asks you to send him a copy of a client proposal. The only copy you have is on paper, and you're in the back of a taxi. Without needing a computer or even a power connection, you use the new Xerox Mobile Scanner to scan the proposal to a PDF file and wirelessly transfer it to your mobile phone. You then email it to your boss in seconds.
The Xerox Mobile Scanner looks pretty simple to use: press the power button, select a file format (PDF or JPG) and insert the document. The scanner's patented AutoLaunch technology senses the page and begins scanning.
"The Mobile Scanner provides a quick, convenient way to scan and share documents when you're on the go," said John Capurso, VP of marketing at Visioneer, a Xerox licensing partner. "Untethering the scanner and adding Wi-Fi reflects Xerox's drive to make life easier for the mobile worker."
The scanner is battery powered and uses a free mobile app to connect wirelessly to almost any device (both Mac and PC), and even the Cloud. It will scan a colour letter-size sheet in 10 seconds at 300 dpi, and Xerox says the batter will last for over 300 scanned pages. The device will also scan documents as small as 2″ x 2″.
Xerox has priced the Scanner at $249.99, which includes a 4GB SD memory card, carrying case, rechargeable battery and charger. Its size is 2″ x 1.75″ x 11.5″.
Here's a video from Xerox about the functionality of the Mobile Scanner:

Deprivation index of rural communities adjusted to policy framework in MoldovaAug 25, 2014
Representatives of the central and local authorities, National Bureau of Statistics, civil society, academia and development partners participated today in the round table " Small Areas Deprivation Index: Relevance, Use and Methodological Review" organized by the Ministry of Economy in cooperation with the National Bureau of Statistics in the framework of the UN Programme "Strengthening the national statistical system".
Small Areas Deprivation Index (SADI) is a composite indicator which shows the development level of a local community at the lowest territorial disaggregation, covering all rural communities in Moldova. SADI combines 7 sets of indicators related to economic development, access to education and infrastructure facilities, heath care and the extent which local public budgets can afford community development and support to vulnerable groups of population.
As of 2003, SADI is annually calculated by the Ministry of Economy mainly using the data collected from local mayor's offices with small adjustments to the content throughout this period while the country's development context has significantly evolved both at the national and local level. Thus, the UN Programme helped ensure the full methodological review of the Index by harmonizing the indicators with the existing policy framework, identifying qualitative data at the lowest level of disaggregation and adjusting the calculation methodology of SADI.
Octavian Calmîc, Deputy Minister of Economy, said that SADI's review was important as it allows authorities to better target its efforts to improve people's life. "We are all aware of the fact that the statistical data we get from the regions is not sufficient and that we need to improve methodology and quality. This data is both useful for central and local authorities in estimating the economic and social realities as well as other aspects of local development".
UN Resident Coordinator in Moldova, Nicola Harrington-Buhay, noted that the Republic of Moldova is among few countries which promote a multidimensional approach to poverty analysis. "It is key that adequate attention is paid to disaggregated regional statistics and such evidences are used for human rights and human development based policies. It is of utmost importance for development partners to know the challenges faced by the people in order to better target their assistance to Moldova and its people."
Artur Răducanu, Secretary of the Embassy of Romania to the Republic of Moldova, concluded that the SADI review will lay out the basis for development of mechanisms at the central and regional level for justification of investment projects and for accessing EU pre-accession funds. "Use of data is crucial for the development policies of the Republic of Moldova", Mr. Răducanu said.
Vitalie Valcov, Deputy Director General of the National Bureau of Statistics, highlighted that the results achieved were possible due to the cooperation of all project's partners. "It is important that this cooperation does not stop here and that we will be able to continue collecting the data which is so crucial for the country".
SADI methodological review was carried out in the framework of the UN joint programme "Strengthening the national statistics system", implemented by the National Bureau of Statistics in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development and Constructions and Ministry of Economy, with the support of UNDP and funds from the Romanian Government.
The Joint UN Project helps to strengthen the national statistical system through improvement of collection, dissemination and use of socio-economic statistical data. It contributes to harmonisation of official statistics with international standards as well as to improving the availability, quality and use of disaggregated data, in particular regional statistics, to enhance the participatory policy-making process.

'Motor City' Detroit becomes largest in US history to file for bankruptcy
Detroit has became the largest city in US history to file for bankruptcy protection, succumbing to debt of $US18.5 billion ($20.2b).
Detroit by the numbers
- 411 homicides in 2012
- 58 minutes for police to respond to calls, compared to 11 mins nationwide
- Only one third of the city's ambulances work
- 40 per cent of the city's streetlights don't work
- 78,000 abandoned buildings
- Population down from 1.8 million in 1950 to 685,000 today
- Debt of $US18.5 billion
Once the fourth largest US city, Detroit has seen its population shrink by more than half, from 1.8 million in 1950 to 685,000 today, as crime, flight to the suburbs, and the hollowing out of the auto industry have all eaten away at its foundations.
Thousands of residents left Detroit when the financial crisis hit and without them and their taxes, the city has gone broke. The city has an annual deficit of around $US400 million.
"The citizens of Detroit need and deserve a clear road out of the cycle of ever-decreasing services," Michigan governor Rick Snyder said in a letter accompanying the court filing.
"The only feasible path to a stable and solid Detroit is to file for bankruptcy protection."
Detroit stopped making payments on some of its $US18.5 billion of debt and obligations last month.
Mr Snyder appointed an emergency manager with a background in bankruptcy earlier this year to restructure Detroit's finances.
He said he had "very much hoped" the move would help the city avoid bankruptcy, but that now it is time to "face the fact that the city cannot and is not paying its debts as they become due, and is insolvent."
He listed a host of problems that prove Detroit cannot meet its obligations to its citizens either.
Long list of problems in crime-hit city
The homicide rate is the highest in nearly 40 years, and, for more than two decades, Detroit has been on the list of the most dangerous cities in the United States.
People have to wait an average of 58 minutes for the police to respond to their calls, compared with an average of 11 minutes nationwide.
A lack of funds for maintenance and repairs means only a third of the city's ambulances work and police cars and fire trucks are also in poor condition.
There are 78,000 abandoned buildings scattered across the city, and 40 per cent of the streetlights do not work.
The city's tax rate has reached its legal limit and even if it could raise rates, residents cannot afford to pay more, Mr Snyder said.
Barry Beale owns Shantinique records, one of the city's iconic record stores. He says the city is struggling.
"I don't think anybody really in charge. Nobody seems to have an answer or can get anything done," he said.
The long term effects of the move to file for bankruptcy protection will be felt by the city's current and former employees.
The city's two pension funds are suing over moves to cut retiree benefits; there are claims they are underfunded by $US3.5 billion.
But the city's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, has moved to reassure the city's remaining residents.
"Services will remain open, paycheques will be made, bills will be paid. Nothing changes from the standpoint of the ordinary citizen's perspective," he said.

The FDA has cleared the Celluma, BioPhotas' biophotonic medical device, for six separate Indications-For-Use, including the treatment of acne, muscle and joint pain, muscle and joint stiffness, muscle spasm, arthritis, and compromised local blood circulation.
Research funded by NASA and DARPA using light emitting diodes (LED) or biophotonic therapy has been scientifically proven in recent clinical trials to up-regulate cellular function in the treatment of many common conditions, restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself. Contrasted to many widely accepted therapies where vital tissue is intentionally damaged to create a healing response, using LED light to "re-energize" cellular function in a non-invasive manner allows the body to maintain vitality as nature intended.
Commenting on the FDA clearance, Patrick Johnson, president and CEO for BioPhotas says, "Receiving FDA clearance for six separate indications-for-use is a major milestone for us in the development of our product portfolio and the growth of the company. Our goal in developing the Celluma was to create a safe, effective and convenient device that could be used in the home and in a professional medical setting, and to do that at a fraction of the cost of the competition. We believe we have accomplished that goal with a product that is proprietary in design and novel in clinical application for pain management and certain skin conditions."
Pain caused by a variety of reasons impacts over 100 million Americans and affects quality of life, work productivity and can be a huge emotional and financial burden. Similarly, acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States, affecting 40 to 50 million Americans. Nearly 85% of all people have acne at some point in their lives. The Celluma is designed and priced for the mass consumer market, while offering medical professionals a viable alternative treatment modality.
Continuing, Johnson says, "BioPhotas' vision is to address the rapidly growing market opportunity in global healthcare and wellness with the proven science of biophotonics and LED technology featured in the Celluma to provide effective, affordable and predictable solutions for medical practitioners and consumers alike. The Celluma will give consumers and medical professionals affordable access to a powerful clinical technology that could otherwise cost five to 20 times more, particularly when compared to cold lasers used to treat the same conditions.
The Celluma uses three distinct wave lengths of light energy, modulated with proprietary electronic algorithms to effectively treat a variety of skin, muscle and joint conditions. The Celluma is distinct from other light therapy devices given a novel flexible design that molds to the body to allow the light to be absorbed more effectively leading to higher efficacy and more predictable outcomes.

TAMPA, Fla. - The Iowa nickname suggests keen vision. But when it comes to LSU freshman quarterback Anthony Jennings, the Hawkeyes will be mostly flying blind.
Because of Jennings' limited snaps during the 2013 season, there isn't much game tape for the Iowa defensive staff and players to study. Even though Jennings stepped fully into the spotlight by keying the No. 14 Tigers regular season finale victory against Arkansas, he still only played in small bits of eight games.
That leaves lots of room for speculation as the two teams prepare to lock horns in the Outback Bowl here Jan. 1 at noon. Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz has an idea what LSU might do different than when starter Zach Mettenberger was running the show.
"There's really nothing we can do about it," Ferentz said following the Hawkeyes' Thursday practice. "We have some earlier season stuff, nothing really significant, but the last drive you get a glimpse of what he's capable of doing. What we don't know is how the game plan changes if they knew he was going to be playing 75 snaps."
As LSU fans well know, Jennings stepped in for an injured Mettenberger and drove the Tigers 99 yards for the winning points, which came on a 49-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Travin Dural. It doesn't necessarily extrapolate to what Jennings will do over the course of a game, but Ferentz is duly impressed by what he squeezed into that small window of opportunity.
"Just a little bit that he was in there, he took the football from the one-foot line to the other end zone and showed good athleticism, got the ball to the open guys and really did a nice job. The No. 1 thing for a quarterback to do is move the team and score and he did that.
"LSU's got a lot of very good players. The fact that he became the No. 2 guy tells you the caliber of talent he's got. I'm sure he's made every practice count this year."
Jennings won't be facing Arkansas this time. In fact, he's going up against the nation's No. 7 defense which is allowing 303 yards per game. Iowa's turnaround from 4-8 to 8-4 has been keyed by a veteran unit, led by a set of senior starting linebackers. One of those, Anthony Hitchens, had 102 stops, including a team-high 13 for losses.
"We're going to assume that he's good," Hitches said. "He's mobile as we've seen in the film we have. We'll have our hands full with a mobile quarterback who is a good athlete so we have to keep preparing like he's good.
"They're not one dimensional. They can run the ball. They can pass. The quarterback can scramble. We're going to have our hands full."
Ferentz has likened Jennings to Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller and Michigan's Devin Gardner. In that respect, he expects to see a few more designed quarterback runs from the Tigers, who were strictly a dropback team with the 6-feet-5 Mettenberger.
But Ferentz also knows that because of LSU's prodigious talent, the Tigers are good enough to get by without letting Jennings carry the ball.
All-SEC running back Jeremy Hill piled up 1,185 yards and 14 touchdowns as the Tigers averaged 200.8 yards rushing per game. Jennings has the same weapons in the passing game that Mettenberger had with Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry combining for 132 catches for 2,289 yards and 18 touchdowns. LSU became the first SEC team in history with a 3,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000 yard rusher.
"I don't know if they will run it more but I wouldn't be surprise if they utilize him maybe in the running game," he said. "They may not either. Their running backs are really good. It's not like they need another one.
"It gives you one more thing to defend. I imagine we'll see some of that. We see it in the course of the year. It doesn't diminish the fact they've got at least two really good receivers a stable full of running backs."
Iowa cornerback B.J. Lowery said he doesn't expect LSU to change much and he's not worried about the lack of film. He's said the tendencies they might learn isn't as important as the fact LSU will likely run the same offense it has all season
"When they threw him in they were running pretty much the same offense the starter did," he said. "We're expecting the same things plus a some added things like the running quarterbacks we played.
"He doesn't play like a freshman. He throws the ball down the field and when the pocket closes he knows how to get out."**************

Lately, Lockney has been getting a great deal of attention from the media. This is because of the drug testing. Why? And, since we are so widely covered, why are so many people still misinformed?
Two reasons:
1.) We are getting so much attention because one person decided to dissent from the decision, and dissension creates controversy. Controversy makes interesting (though not necessarily good) news. We are not the first school in the country to do this. We are, in fact, the fourth. But most people don't know that. The media like controversy -- it makes it easy to work people up and sell news, which brings me to the answer to the second question:
2.) People are misinformed because the media are taking advantage of their position in this matter to distribute personal opinions rather than facts. The term for this is yellow journalism. Yellow journalism is defined as tabloid-type journalism, and certainly shouldn't be expected from sources which purport to be respectable news establishments.
Many people I know have been interviewed only to find that what they had said was twisted and taken completely out of context. I read Letters to the Editor and comments in Vox Populi from people who are missing the facts through no fault of their own -- they only know what the media tell them. Somebody actually wanted to know why they aren't testing teachers! They are testing them -- and if the media did their job, no one would have asked.

Here's a scenario for you. Imagine having to type in 500 column entries into an Excel worksheet and then having to enter the same data into two other worksheets. Sounds like a lot of work doesn't it? The fact is, there are times when you need to enter the same data into multiple worksheets within a single spreadsheet. For example, if you need the same list of names to appear on more than one worksheet. One method you can use is to enter all the data into one worksheet then copy it over to the other ones. Or, you can use the time saving tip described below.
Instead of re-typing or copying the same data between worksheets, you can use the Group feature. Once you group two or more worksheets, any data you type into one worksheet appears in the other worksheets within the group. So let's take a look at how you can do this.
With your workbook open, hold down the CTRL key while clicking the worksheets you want to group. Notice that the tabs of any grouped worksheets turn white.
Click on one of the grouped worksheets and enter in your data. As you type in one worksheet, Excel automatically enters the same data into the other grouped worksheets.
Once you are finished you can ungroup the worksheets by right clicking any sheet name and selecting the ungroup option.

Today in History: John Lennon Releases His Peace Anthem, Imagine (1971)2013-10-08 Share Tweet
Arguably John Lennon's greatest song, "Imagine" became the most iconic song in the late musician's recordings. The song sparked the idea of a world without borders, life led with nothing but peace and love for all mankind.
1971 became a defining moment in John Lennon's career. Having been dubbed as one of the world's greatest musicians and songwriters to have ever lived, Lennon created an image of the world. Ideal is the word that best sums up the song's message.
Accompanied by a simple melody, the song was received successfully by critics and listeners all over the world. Even at Lennon's untimely death in 1980, "Imagine" continued to be an anthem for anti-war movements and pursuit of world lived through equality and love of fellow man. The song topped the Billboard 100 charts and sold over 1.6 million copies worldwide during the debut of the album. It's amazing to know that the song that would make million's sing their hearts out would come from a humble studio in New York City.
The song was inspired by Yoko Ono's Grapefruit and Lennon admitted that he should have made arrangements to give Ono co-credit for the song.
"Imagine" painted a life without worries of persecution and hate. It was the anti-thesis of a human world lived in material wealth, political powers and wars over beliefs and religion. It was a call to arms in a way that it encourages people to continue dreaming for a world free of strife until it becomes a reality one day. It was indeed a great musical feat to have the world singing the hymn whenever a human crisis was involved.
It's really hard to figure out how a simple song could display such strong philosophy and evoke emotions that people have long dreamed of. "Imagine" will continue to inspire and touch the hearts and minds of the generations to come. It's easy if you try. No one could have said it any better than John Lennon.

At least one Chargers player might risk a fine Sunday by wearing red, white and blue cleats he was sent by Reebok.
A handful of Chargers players were given the starred and striped cleats but told by a Reebok representative that the shoes had not been approved to wear in a game.
Players expressed confusion over why the NFL would deny them the chance to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by wearing different cleats when the league provides pink apparel (including shoes) to be worn by teams to promote breast cancer awareness each October.
League spokesman Greg Aiello said he knew of no plans to allow players to alter their uniforms on Sunday and declined to comment on whether any players would be fined for wearing alternate footwear. The league has strict guidelines about game-day clothing.
Sideline personnel league-wide will wear commemorative pins, and players will wear a red, white and blue patch just below their jersey collars in the shape of ribbon with 9.11.01, a star and 9.11.11 on the other.
The league has numerous plans to remember 9/11 in ceremonies at all of of Sunday's games, and the league and NFL Players Association are donating $1 million to charities and memorials related to the events of 9/11.
One player who said he was contemplating wearing the special shoes predicted he would be fined $5,000.

Seldom has mass-delusion been so beautiful -- or maybe it has.
While two former popes were canonized (subsequent a generous relaxation of miracle requirements), hundreds of thousands stood in beatifying awe, stirred by emotions rarely visited upon the multitude, and moved to blessed heights that render the dominant miseries of life momentarily irrelevant.
They prayed and cried and shrieked in happiness, spilling tears of joy or entered into deepest reverie to contemplate the meaning and the privilege of witnessing such mortal beings being elevated into sainthood -- a realm of holy hosanna, or if you will, an exclusive club populated predominantly by older, white males.
I can only envy those under the influence ... or pity them, I haven't decided.
Michael E. White

As plans go, this one seemed simple and sensible. Build not for today, but for a thousand tomorrows.
The Lightning had already tried too many quick fixes and been caught in too many bad deals to risk another stab at turning the franchise around in a hurry. So when Steve Yzerman and Guy Boucher came aboard last summer, they made it clear they were committed to long-term goals.
Sure, there would be road blocks. And, yes, they probably expected adjustments would have to be made.
But who would have guessed that one of their greatest challenges was being too good?
With 22 games remaining in the season, Tampa Bay already has surpassed last year's win total and is currently the No. 2 team in the Eastern Conference. Which means the team that was racing full speed toward the future had to recalculate its GPS somewhere along the line.
"We felt we were achieving a lot of stuff that was difficult to achieve, so I'd say it was around Christmas time when we really started looking at this," said Boucher, who has the team on pace for a record number of victories in his first season in the NHL. "At that point, we felt there was a consistency and a sense of character and success. Not just winning, but success in what you're trying to do.
"That's the criteria. That's when you know you've got something."
And that's when the franchise's focus changed. Oh, the future was still king. The Lightning would make no moves that would significantly trade on its chances for success down the road, but Yzerman was willing to make minor sacrifices in order to capitalize on today.
Which brings us to Dwayne Roloson. And Marc-Andre Bergeron. And Eric Brewer.
In a span of 49 days in January and February, the Lightning acquired three veteran players who will play prominent roles as the franchise heads toward its first postseason since 2007. Those three may not be around for the long term — they may not even be around next season — but this was an opportunity that could not be wasted.
And, best of all, the cost was manageable. The Lightning gave up a couple of nondescript prospects (Ty Wishart and Brock Beukeboom) and a third-round draft pick in trades for Roloson and Brewer. All Bergeron cost was $500,000 or so, and faith that an injured knee was healed.
In return, Tampa Bay has a good chance to win its first playoff series since the Stanley Cup final in 2004.
"It is still my belief that we need our draft picks and as many young prospects as we can get, but the players had played well enough that I wanted to give ourselves an opportunity to go as far as we could without mortgaging the future," Yzerman said. "The prospects we moved, I think we can replace with players already in the system or with draft picks. And losing a third-round pick was something I felt we could live with."
The greatest cost was to owner Jeff Vinik's checkbook. The Lightning took on close to $4 million in prorated salaries, which is one of the reasons backup goaltender Dan Ellis, and his $1.5 million salary, was traded for Curtis McElhinney on Thursday.
The key to all of the moves was getting Roloson from the Islanders for Wishart at the first of the year. At that point, the Lightning was a decent team with a problem in the net. Roloson changed that equation, and that made the subsequent moves more logical.
"It's Roloson. It's Bergeron. It's Brewer. It was specific needs. It wasn't about going out and buying whatever we could. We filled specific needs," Boucher said. "Goaltender? Perfect, we got one for the right price. Specific need for a power-play guy? Bergeron. Then what do we need? We need a big, shut-down defenseman. Brewer. So they were very smart, specific things Steve was able to do.
"We talk a lot about what we want to do, but this wasn't just words. This was action."
That action was not unnoticed in the locker room. For all Boucher has asked of the players this season, this was essentially the organization's payback. Play well enough in the regular season, and ownership will give you a legitimate chance in the postseason.
"Sometimes you can wait too long to make moves and then you're in trouble because there are 29 other teams that are trying to get the same pieces," said Marty St. Louis. "Our management saw an opportunity, and they jumped on it.
"You get players like that, you become better right away. And that's how we feel. We're better with those guys, for sure."
The other factor no one wanted to address was the relative strength — or weakness — of the Eastern Conference. The Lightning may not be a great team, but I'm not sure a great team exists in that conference. Philadelphia is very good and has more depth than anyone. Pittsburgh can be tough when healthy. A few other teams are just as good, if not better, than the Lightning.
But what Lightning players did in the first two months of the season was put themselves in the conversation.
And in the past two months, it was management's turn to be heard.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
140 mistakes
Directed by: Mike Newell
Starring: Alan Rickman, Brendan Gleeson, Daniel Radcliffe, David Tennant, Emma Watson, Eric Sykes, Gary Oldman, Jason Isaacs, Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes, Robbie Coltrane, Robert Pattinson, Rupert Grint, Timothy Spall
Genres: Adventure, Family, Fantasy, Mystery
Continuity mistake: After Fred and George drink the aging potion, when the twins jump over Dumbledore's Age Line, in this overhead shot Hermione sits at the edge of the long bench, with the closed book and crossed legs. Yet, in the next shot, as Fred and George begin congratulating each other, Hermione sits a few feet away from the edge, still with the closed book and crossed legs. (This is before she moves her seat and opens her book.)
Continuity mistake: When the students are dancing to The Weird Sisters at the Yule Ball, Viktor Krum can be seen at the back of the group, jumping up and down, with Crabbe/Goyle jumping up and down behind him with his hands on Krum's shoulders. Immediately after, however, Krum is seen dancing with Hermione, and Crabbe/Goyle has disappeared, with no time to move between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Harry overhears Snape and Karkaroff, when Snape confronts Harry and mentions the Gillyweed, the shelves behind the ladder in the store room are quite visible. Once Snape finds the bottle of Veritaserum things behind the ladder differ.
Continuity mistake: In class, when Moody shouts, "And hear across classrooms!" he throws the chalk at Seamus, and the way Seamus ducks over his desk noticeably differs between the two shots; he first leans down on his right arm, then on his left.
Continuity mistake: At the Quidditch World Cup, when the kids reach the top, in the first shot facing them their positions are Cedric, Ron, Fred/George and Ginny. Just before the shot cuts, Ginny is just about to move behind a twin, and more to the point, three members of the Irish zoom by on their brooms between Ron and Cedric. In the next shot (from behind), as the Irish are still zooming by, now their positions are Fred/George, Ron and Ginny, with the Irish zooming by between Ron and Ginny. Between shots, Ginny has moved past three people and the zooming Irish on their brooms. Don't confuse the hat wearing twin for Ginny; her hat is green with a black buckle band and the twin's hat is green stripe. (Clearer on fullscreen DVD.)
Continuity mistake: When Harry is attacked by a multitude of Grindylows he sustains numerous injuries, particularly the one on his jaw and neck. The position and characteristics of that wound repeatedly change in the following shots.
Continuity mistake: When Harry takes a bath in the Prefects' bathroom, the robe behind him repeatedly changes position throughout the scene.
Continuity mistake: During the Tournament's first task, Harry runs behind the large rock formation to hide from the Horntail. After he's summoned the Firebolt, as he's crouched down, there is a semi close-up of Harry, then it cuts to a close-up, and the position of his red and black hood on his shoulders noticeably changes between these shots.
Other mistake: When Barty Crouch Jr., as Moody, near the end of the film says about him providing Neville Longbottom with the book for the Gillyweed, Harry is mouthing his lines (before his close-up).
Continuity mistake: In the DADA class, whenever there is a shot facing the class room, we can see that Ron and Harry are in the middle of the class room and Parvati and Padma are on the viewer's right side of the room (screen). Yet, when Moody makes the spider float from Padma onto Ron's face, in the shot facing Ron, the spider floats onto his face from the viewer's left side of the room (screen) whereas it should have been the right side of the room (screen).
Continuity mistake: When the Horntail is out for Harry's blood, in the overhead shot, as he hangs on the window frame his sleeve is pulled up showing his bare arm. However, in the next close-up as he still grips the frame, his sleeve is tucked tightly into his glove.
Continuity mistake: When Hermione is walking over to wake up Ron she places a candle on the table. When it cuts the candle has moved closer to the edge of the table.
Revealing mistake: At the first challenge, just before the Horntail makes its appearance, there is a tight close-up of the egg as Harry stands in the stone "doorway" in the background, on the left. Clearly it is not Daniel Radcliffe, but his stand-in (his face differs and he has a shorter, bowl-type haircut) who is standing there, for this one specific shot.
Continuity mistake: Right before the third task, Igor Karkaroff puts his hands on Krum's shoulders. In the next shot, however, his hands are off his shoulders and he is standing a respectable distance away. This change continues throughout the rest of the scene.
Continuity mistake: At the Yule Ball, when Harry, Ron, Padma, Parvati, and eventually Hermione, are sitting at the table, Ron's awful dress robe is lying on the table behind him, and it changes position between shots.
Continuity mistake: In the cemetery, when Harry stands trapped at the statue, the ripped sleeve and arm cut are visible as his hands grasp the sickle handle, and they both differ between shots.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the Yule Ball, when Ron and Hermione walk to the staircase, seated on the stairs are two girls who are comforting a third girl in the center. When Hermione shouts, "Ron you spoiled everything," the girls' positions change between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Dumbledore walks into Harry's dormitory, joking about setting fire to the curtains, the position of the clothing, etc., on Harry's bed differs between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Harry overhears the conversation between Snape and Karkaroff, Snape holds up the small glass bottle of Veritaserum while he accuses Harry of stealing from his store of ingredients. The way Snape holds the bottle repeatedly differs between the close-ups facing Harry and close-ups facing Snape.
Continuity mistake: There is a scene where Harry is holding the letter from Sirius and we can hear Sirius's voice reading the letter. The words on the letter are different from the words we hear Sirius reading. Particularly the end where Sirius says, "P.S. The bird bites" the letter says, "By the way, the bird bites."

Mariah Carey: Many of my friends are gay… but I'm not
Mariah Carey has disappointed a lot of women – and men – by openly denying rumours that she is bisexual.
The singer, who is expecting her first child with husband Nick Cannon , said that, despite the gossip, she was not attracted to women.
She told Advocate magazine: 'If it makes somebody happy to say that, whatever, but that's not the reality. I don't have a discriminatory policy of who I'm friends with.
'So yes, I'm friends with women who are gay – gay, straight, it doesn't matter to me. So I don't get upset when I hear that because it is what it is. I guess I could lie about it to seem more exciting.'
The 40-year-old said she could not be more supportive of same-sex marriages, adding: 'If two people want to get married, it's their prerogative – we hope. Everybody should be able to do what they want to do and be in the pursuit of happiness.
'Ever since I was a little girl, my mother was very open-minded and had many different types of friends, so being gay never seemed wrong or strange to me.'

Updated from 8:50 a.m. ET with volatile morning market action and additional comment from Rafferty Capital Markets analyst Richard Bove.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Investors can expect another day of extreme volatility for shares of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC), amid mixed signals from Washington.
Fannie Mae's common shares on Tuesday dropped 30.8% to close at $4.03, while Freddie Mac's common shares were down 26.8% to close at $4.04, after Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson (D., S.D.) Senator and Mike Crapo (R., Idaho), the ranking member of the committee, announced they had come to an agreement on a bi-partisan proposal to wind-down the mortgage giants.
Fannie's shares were down another 10% in early trading Wednesday to $3.63, while Freddie's common shares were down aother 13.4% to $3.50.
GSE junior preferred shares also also hit hard. Fannie Mae's preferred Series S shares (FNMAS) were down 7.6% to $10.95, after pulling back 3.3% on Tuesday. Freddie's preferred Series Z shares were down 7.8% to $11.30, after a 3.9% decline on Tuesday. Both issues have face values of $25, with investors hoping the junior preferreds will trade up to par if their dividends are restored.
Fannie and Freddie -- together known as the government-sponsored mortgage enterprises, or GSEs -- were taken under government conservatorship at the height of the U.S. housing market meltdown in September 2008. The GSEs' common and preferred stocks remained publicly traded, but values plunged because dividends to non-government shareholders were suspended, and because it appeared highly unlikely at the time at the GSEs would eventually return to being highly profitable.
Over the past year, many institutional and retail investors have ridden common and junior preferred shares of the GSEs to huge gains on what they consider to be a unique investment opportunity, during a long legal battle over government's treatment of private investors.
The government's original bailout agreement with the GSEs required Fannie and Freddie to pay the U.S. Treasury 10% annual dividends on the government-held senior preferred shares. However, in August 2012, after the GSEs had returned to profitability and after they had stopped increasing their borrowings from the government, the bailout agreement was changed so that all GSE profits were paid to the government, in excess of minimal capital cushions.
Following their March dividend payments, Fannie and Freddie will have paid total dividends of $199 billion on $189.4 billion in senior preferred shares held by the Treasury. Factoring in warrants that were handed to the government to acquire up to 79.9% of the GSEs common shares, Rafferty Capital Markets analyst Richard Bove on last week estimated the government's return on its investment in Fannie and Freddie was $238 billion.

I was at first puzzled by Professor James C. W. Ahiakpor's charge that I had misrepresented mainstream economics (by my statement that mainstream economics' use of its supply-and-demand apparatus relies on the assumption of perfect competition, and thus perfect knowledge). I was puzzled because mainstream textbooks are quite explicit on this point.[1]
Upon re-reading Professor Ahiakpor's comment, especially his quotations from Stigler and other mainstream writers who emphasize the unrealistic nature of the assumptions of the perfectly competitive model, and particularly its assumption of perfect knowledge, I believe that I can put my finger on the source of Professor Ahiakpor's misunderstandings. In fact, I will use several passages from Stigler's textbook on price theory (not the source of Professor Ahiakpor's Stigler quote) to attempt to clarify matters.
As a prelude to his discussion of how demand and supply determine price, Stigler carefully articulates the conditions (especially that of perfect knowledge) needed for perfect competition.[2] He then proceeds to address possible misgivings concerning these conditions. "If the reader bristles at the acceptance of assumptions such as perfect knowledge . . . he is both wrong and right. He is wrong in denying the helpfulness of the use of pure, clean concepts in theoretical analysis: they confer clarity and efficiency on the analysis, without depriving the analysis of empirical relevance. He is right if he believes these extreme assumptions are not necessary to the existence of competition . . . ." (Italics in original.)
Clearly, Stigler's position can be stated in three points: (a) the real world is not perfectly competitive; it is not characterized by perfect knowledge; however, (b) the economist is best able to explain price determination in the real world by referring to a "pure and clean" analytical model of supply and demand under conditions of perfect competition; and (c) this pure and clean model is then useful in understanding the real world because the degree of competition and of perfection of knowledge in the real world is sufficiently close (to the pure and clean concepts of the analytical model) as to render that analytical model a useful basis for understanding price determination in the real world.[3] Ahiakpor has focused exclusively, it seems, on points (a) and (c), and somehow concluded that mainstream explanations for price determination do not depend analytically on perfect-knowledge assumptions. But surely this conclusion is quite mistaken; point (b) cannot be denied.
For mainstream economics (and particularly for Stigler) the applicability of the pure and clean analytical model of supply and demand to the real world of imperfect knowledge is based entirely on the belief (hope?) that the degree of such imperfection in knowledge is not serious enough to compromise the applicability of the pure model. But the analytical basis for such application remains the pure and clean model itself. Any explanation of real world price determination rests, in mainstream economics, on the validity of the explanation for price determination offered by the pure and clean model of supply and demand, under conditions of perfect knowledge. The Austrian critique points out the internal, analytical inadequacy of that pure and clean model (quite apart from the unrealism of its assumptions).[4] As Hayek and the modern Austrians point out, the true explanation for the emergence of the market price refers strictly to those very imperfections of knowledge that mainstream economists find it necessary to downplay.
The Model's Uses
I would like to make a concluding observation. The asperity of Professor Ahiakpor's comment suggests that he has read my pieces as expressing complete dismissal of mainstream economics and as doing so with complete hostility toward it. This is by no means the case. Speaking strictly for myself (rather than on behalf of Austrian economists), I can say that there certainly are important uses for the mainstream perfect knowledge model. For many rough and ready purposes of applied economics, it is this model that is the most useful practical tool. I have often stated that if students had to be exposed to only one lecture in economics, I would hope that that lecture would be the mainstream supply-and-demand lecture. But, I must insist, such usefulness, as a matter of pure science, is severely limited. For adequate understanding of how markets work it is necessary to go beyond the perfect competition/perfect knowledge analysis, and to explore the processes that flow from imperfect knowledge and from the entrepreneurial decisions set in motion by such imperfection of knowledge. The truth is that recognition of this scientific insight turns out to be of utmost importance for developing enlightened public policy. For as Austrian economists know, it is in and through these processes that free markets make their contribution to human well-being.
- I list here three examples, at different levels of sophistication: George J. Stigler, The Theory of Price, 3rd ed. (New York: Macmillan, 1966), pp. 87-89 (leading into his discussion of price determination through demand and supply); J. M. Henderson and R. E. Quandt, Microeconomic Theory: A Mathematical Approach (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1958), chapter 4 (and especially p. 86, leading into the discussion of market equilibrium in terms of supply and demand analysis); and D. Salvatori, Microeconomics (New York: HarperCollins, 1991), p. 26.
- Stigler (p. 87) treats perfect competition as equivalent to the state in which each market participant faces infinitely elastic supply or demand curves—the state which corresponds to the price-taking assumption to which Professor Ahiakpor refers.
- Many mainstream economists would follow Milton Friedman in arguing that the absence of realism in the assumptions of the perfectly competitive model is almost irrelevant to the usefulness of the model in predicting real world outcomes. For Friedman's well-known position on this see his Essays in Positive Economics (Chica go: University of Chicago Press, 1953), pp. 14f.
- It was Hayek who, in his brilliant 1946 critique of the perfectly competitive model, identified its central flaw as an explanation for price determination. The model cannot explain how price comes to be that which the model predicts. The model can only, given its assumptions, postulate that that is the price. The model assumes the result the emergence of which we are seeking to explain. See F.A. Hayek, Individualism and Economic Order (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1949), pp. 93f.

After witnessing the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, Gulf Coast residents are preparing for the worst with Hurricane Rita. Traffic jams have turned Houston's outbound highways into parking lots, and for many of those that stay in the area, power loss is almost inevitable.
Many people may be left with a single means of communication—their cell phones. That's why the major cellular carriers, including Cingular, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint, plan to provide cell-phone users with the resources they might need during an emergency.
Both Cingular and Verizon Wireless have fleets of mobile cellular sites that can be driven to locations that need extra network capacity. Cingular also has trailers ready to dispense that can provide antenna back-up if a tower is out of service.
Verizon says it will set up wireless emergency communication centers to serve residents and rescue workers in need. Sprint Nextel's Emergency Response Team also is standing by to help. It can be reached 24 hours-a-day at 888-639-0200. Sprint Nextel has staged backup generators and personnel in Texas Gulf Coast areas to deal with service disruptions.
These carriers collectively suggest that Gulf Coast residents take the following precautions:
1. Charge cell phone batteries in case local power is lost and, if possible, have additional charged batteries handy.
2. Keep cell phones and batteries in a dry place, such as a sealable plastic sandwich bag.
3. In case of a power outage, use a car adapter to recharge cell phone batteries.
4. Keep a list of emergency phone numbers, including police, fire, rescue agencies, power companies, insurance providers, family, friends, and co-workers, stored in a cell phone.
5. Designate someone outside of the Gulf Coast area as a central contact that family members can call if they become separated.
6. Forward home phone calls to a wireless number in an event of an evacuation.
7. Instead of voice calls, send text messages. They'll most likely go through faster than voice calls and will help keep networks free for emergency personnel. Sprint Nextel customers can use the walkie-talkie function instead of phone calls.
8. If a call doesn't go through, don't press "send" right away. Instead, wait 10 seconds before trying again.
9. Use the Internet option on a cell phone to access weather and news updates.
10. Use a camera phone to take and send photos of damaged property to an insurance company.

The mall food thread reminded me of what I miss most from shopping as a child – visiting the tea-room with my mother at the big department store. It seemed so elegant when I was five – white table clothes, heavy (cheap) silver, silver domes for the entrees.
I always ordered the Welsh Rarebit Burger – it seemed so grown-up to me. Upon close analysis of my memories, I believe it was, in fact, a giant burger doused with a neon-orange cheese sauce that also covered the rest of the plate. At least it came with a dome…Ah, the 70's in the Midwest. I don't really remember much else…but I'm guessing they also served a lot of chef salads. Did anyone else lunch with Mom?

This great story is about a beautiful twenty-three year old young lady named Dominique Olloqui who has Down syndrome. If I could tell you one thing, it's that she was sent from heaven to teach us about pure love and courage. My daughter Dominique is a Miracle baby, weighing only three and half pounds. Her progress was slow. At the age of one she was diagnosed with Leukemia. She spent four years fighting this awful disease. At the age of five she finally beat it! With the support of God, family, and doctors, she was cured. Dominique is very lucky. She has the support from both of her parents, her family especially from her brother Chris who she calls her, Hero. Through the years his patience and love has helped her become more independent. At the age of six, she learned to walk and was ready to go to school. In school, her progress was slow but she loved going and making new friends. At the age, of eight, I enrolled her in Girl Scouts of America as well as dance class. She loves music and enjoys dancing. She learned ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop. She still dances and performs with her dance studio. Dominique is a very outgoing young lady. She has a special friend. Her name is Anya. They have been best friends since they were young. They have shared and continue to share very special moments in their lives. In Girl Scouts she learned many different crafts and camping techniques- she now enjoys eating marsh mellows by the campsite. Dominique has been and inspiration to me. This great little brave girl learned how to fight cancer with tenacity not found in many adults. Four years of hospitals, doctors, chemo and many years of check-ups was not easy. She is courageous- a true fighter. When she was sick and could not walk or talk she never gave up. She has given me the power and courage to help her reach her goals. She inspired me to be a better person. I am honored, that I was chosen to be her mother. She taught me that life is precious. Dominique is a normal teenager with a bubbly personality. She is a social butterfly that loves to party! She enjoys the movies, bowling, and loves shopping. She's been to the Hilary Duff and Britney Spears concerts. Dominique goes to school at an adult center where she enjoys being a cheerleader. She models in the schools fashion show and dances in the talent show. Dominique participates in the Special Olympics as a Global messenger. She competes in swimming and soccer. She has earned three gold medals and one bronze. She wants to have a boyfriend, get married and have children. Dominique has blossomed to a beautiful young lady. She is always happy with her bubbly smile. Dominique is still learning and preparing for her future. Her disability has not impaired her ability to function in today's society.

|Jumped on this route for the first time yesterday. I really enjoyed it. We warmed up by taking three laps on the lower half (5.11 climbing) before starting to project it. After the big jug at the midpoint, there is probably only one more contrived rest. I'm going to have to really dial down my footwork on this one to get the redpoint. I managed to do all the moves, now I just need to link it all up.

Looks like glue-ins were added by a generous individual alongside the older bolts.
Note: some of the fixed draws look pretty manky, with worn bottom and top biners: a couple of the rope-grooved biners were just switched to the top biner!
I'm going to bring a few project draws to replace the ones that are there next time I'm out, but if you're there in the interim, take care.

If you are looking to break into 13a sport climbing this a great way to do it! For my climbing partner Jeff Olesen and I, this was one route and suffer-fest that really bonded us together. We would wake up at 5am to rally each other and Ray Ray his amazing red nose pitbull. Then we would drive to AF from SLC (about an hour) and take turns swapping burns, whippers and frustration's on fixed gear over and over and over again until the summer temps were to hot to permit worthy attempts. Both crux's are past the half way point and their is an interesting ending :) Go for it!

Hello, My name is XXXXX XXXXX you for using Just Answer. I will be doing the research on your question. If I need more information, I will contact you. Please disregard any requests to rate your answer before you have received your answer.Thank you, Shirley
Hello Carl,
I have been unable to locate the information you seek. All of our research is done online and it is very rare to locate records as old as the ones you are seeking, online.
Although the Germans did and do keep excellent records, I cannot say for sure that you would even locate the record in Gorlitz. It is also unlikely that the monuments still exist.
However, I would like to give another expert an opportunity to assist you, so I will opt-out of the question.
I wish you good luck in your search.
The Johann Christoph Grundling *31 Aug 1688 x Anna Helena Waltern 4 Mar 1715. His father Johann (Hans) Grundling x 17 Nov 1678 in Gorlitz to Anna Maria Alsch(n)er.
Johann Christophwas a tailor.
It dosn't match to yours
I came across the record above, I thought it may have fitted into your family tree.
Burial records for the Luthern church in Gorlitz are not online. 99.9% of the population of Gorlitz were Luthern 1600's, 1700's
The cemetery where your family would have been buried was Nikolai Cemetery, it opened 1600 and closed 1848, the cemetery is open to the public.
In German
In the 1500 almost all of the population in Germany was Chatolic. 31 Oct 1517, Luther nail his credo to the All Saints church. I do not believe that from mid 1500 to 1700, 99.9% was Lutern.
This is importent to me, to direct me to a spesific relegion in my search for buriel places.
On the web I find the phrase "parish-office" where very old documents may be avaiable. Did you know some thing about is?

Beljan makes Saturday memorable
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. -- When Charlie Beljan got the text message on Friday night his heart started pounding.
Not to worry, though. The man who famously played through an anxiety attack to win the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic last November wasn't headed for another visit to the emergency room.
Beljan was just excited to find out he'd be playing with a pair of World Golf Hall of Famers -- Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els -- in the third round of the Northern Trust Open. And not only did he play with the two for the first time on Saturday, he shot the lowest score.
Not bad for a guy who was making his living on the Gateway Tour just 24 months ago.
"(I was) lucky enough last year to get on the PGA TOUR and to get a victory and to tee it up with Mr. Els and Mr. Mickelson and to have a day like I did is something that I'll never forget," Beljan said after signing for his 68. "(I) had them both sign my visor and I'll put it in a nice frame at home so I'll always have something to remember."
Beljan acknowleged Els, who shot 73, and Mickelson, who had a 72, likely aren't asked to sign a playing partner's visor too often -- unless, of course, it's after a pro-am round.
"But hey, I'll ask -- what's the worst they are going to tell me, is no?" Beljan said. "But no, it was very kind for them both to do that, and (I) appreciated it."
Beljan's round of 68 left him in a tie for seventh with Josh Teater at 7 under, trailing Bill Haas by five strokes. He got untracked on the back nine with three straight birdies to start before making a final one from 6 feet at the par-5 17th.
"I wish I could have had a few more putts drop but I've got a great chance tomorrow and look forward to it," Beljan said. "I could have birdied every hole on the back nine realistically without stretching it for making more than a 15- or 20-footer. These greens are tough, especially poa annua in the afternoon, that's how it goes.
"If you told me I was going to shoot 3 under par or if I was going to shoot even par, I would have been thrilled to death. I'm ecstatic, I'm happy, life's good."
Beljan, who is playing in the Northern Trust Open for the first time, has soaked up the atmosphere at Riviera. He loves looking at the old photos around the clubhouse and he says he's already booked a spot for his RV for next year.
"I can't wait to come back," Beljan said. "I'm fortunate to be here and fortunate to have an opportunity like I did today, and to go ahead and beat those boys is something, it's just one day of golf. It was one great day."

There is much redevelopment work to be done in New Port Richey, but expanding the payroll shouldn't be a part of it.
Consider the work ahead: The centerpiece of private sector investment, the mixed-use Main Street Landing project, will not be completed without city assistance, its developer states. The historic Hacienda Hotel cannot expand unless it moves westward, right into the popular community-built playground in Sims Park. The hoped-for Orange Lake Landings is nothing more than an empty lot where a church once stood, and the city is bracing for the departure of its largest taxpayer and private employer, HCA, which, in November, is relocating most of its operations from Community Hospital to a new medical center in Trinity. Meanwhile, the stalled activity downtown has the city refocusing on less-costly initiatives to improve residential neighborhoods.
With such a long to-do list, it is understandable that City Manager John Schneiger wants to hire a full-time economic development manager. Understandable, but not feasible. The city simply has more pressing demands.
Its $2.2 million redevelopment fund, financed by taxes generated from higher property values, "is essentially broke,'' Schneiger has said, as the city pays off loans for its rebuilt recreation/aquatic center and for acquiring the Hacienda and Orange Lake/First Baptist Church sites that have yet to be redeveloped. By Oct. 1, 2012, the city's general fund will be subsidizing the Community Redevelopment Agency, and difficult budget decisions will await, as 16 city employees — police officers and code enforcement and development services personnel — are on the CRA budget. It is an inopportune time to be adding to the payroll in the name of business development.
It also is counterproductive to try to lure new businesses downtown at the same time the council is debating changing its appropriations for the community festivals and special events that bring people downtown.
Recruiting new businesses to empty storefronts won't be as simple as a downtown tour and a promise to expedite the permitting process. While the city has desirable riverfront housing, its overall demographics include a bountiful supply of modest rental housing attracting moderate-income transients. That works against the city as retailers and other business interests (HCA, for instance) seek to locate closer to a larger pool of higher-income earners. Reversing that trend probably will take the successful completion of high-profile downtown projects to draw visitors to the Hacienda and new residents to the proposed downtown housing. Completion of just one of the projects will demonstrate to other businesses the value of investing in downtown New Port Richey.
In the meantime, to bolster economic recruitment, perhaps New Port Richey can borrow a page from Zephyrhills. That city now wants to assemble its own development task force to revise incentives and work to attract smaller, lower-profile businesses to the city. It's the type of community-based initiative that smaller cities are going to have to rely upon. This prolonged era of shrinking property tax rolls and reduced resources makes business recruiters a hard-to-afford luxury.

why the hell would you overtrain? if your a mental case maybe its cuz your not breathing enough when workin out, plus the weed man
dont overtrain, you gotta give your muscles a chance to REBUILD or else the work out is a waste of energy. When you work out you break down your muscles and they gotta have time to rebuild, rest 1 day then go back and train (weight training) - cardio doesnt matter cuz you can do it everyday

The Giants may have lost on the field to the unbeaten Packers, but they won–and won big in the ratings department. The late afternoon game on WNYW/Channel 5 was tops for the week, according to Nielsen, with a whopping 2.3 million viewers and an 11.9 rating.
Because of the dramatic Packers comeback, devastated fans stayed with Fox. Post-game show, The OT was number two with an estimated 1.8 million and a 9.4 rating.
The Giants also scored in the ratings at number four, with the previous week's ESPN Monday nighter (983,000/5.0) in New Orleans. The Saints, however, did most of the scoring on the gridiron in a 49-24 drubbing. A simulcast version on WWOR/Channel 9 was number 22 (583,000/3.0).
The NFL was also represented by NBC's Sunday Night Football, tying at number five (892,000/4.6).
The highest non-football program, though, was NBC's Rockefeller Center tree lighting special at number three (1.5 million/7.9).
More from the Top 10 after the jump.
- *Fifth 60 Minutes WCBS (897,000/4.6)
- Seventh Glee WNYW (861,000/4.4)
- Eighth Harry's Law WNBC (845,000/4.3)
- *Ninth The Simpsons WNYW (821,000/4.2)
- *Ninth The Good Wife WCBS (813,000/4.2)

Fox's The X Factor had impressive numbers, reaching number 11 for the 90-minute performance show (809,000/4.1) and 15th place for elimination night (732,000/3.7).
WABC made its first appearance on the survey at number 18 with Modern Family (610,000/3.1).
