...clear winner in a Sawyer-free landscape would seem to be NBC's dominant Today, which will have the two strongest brand-name personalities in Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer. But producers there aren't exactly fist-pumping. "Success in the morning is more about a show's brand and identity than any one talent," says Jim Bell, Today's executive producer. Today proved it could beat a big gun like Sawyer. Who knows what weapon ABC will be forced by necessity to haul out next? "In many ways, she was the devil we knew," says a Today exec...

Although this installment works largely as a transition for the two-part finale, the strengths of David Yates’ directing and Steve Kloves’ script make this Potter film the strongest and most entertaining to date.

And with a huge backlog of unsold homes, analysts continue to disagree on whether the higher-than-expected increase signals a coming recovery...
...children were sedentary for five hours each day, and 1.5 of those hours were spent in front of a TV, computer or video game, on average. When the researchers further broke down screen time by activity, TV-viewing had the strongest correlation with higher blood pressure. Kids watching from 90 to 330 minutes of television each day had systolic and diastolic blood-pressure readings (the two numbers that indicate pressure caused by blood pumping from the top and bottom chambers of the heart, respectively) that were five to seven points higher than those of children watching less than half...
