	About Sweeps
		Sweeping techniques are a form of attack or counterattack aimed at moving the opponent's lower leg to cause a loss of balance.
		Sweeps are often done when the opponent is moving, just when the body weight is being transferred to the foot which is swept.
		When leg sweeps are done properly they are very effective, not only because they effectively set up scoring techniques, but because of their demoralizing effective on the opponent.

	Nielsen Ratings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much of the ratings system, however, still consists of the completion by viewers of ratings diaries, in which a viewer records his or her viewing habits, generally for a week, in exchange for being advanced a nominal fee.
		The term "sweep" refers to how the diaries were handled by Nielsen Media when the ratings were first produced: They are mailed to the households and processed by starting on the East Coast and "sweeping" across the nation.
		For this reason, the "sweeps" system of national ratings has been criticized as not representative of typical programming, and encouraging an increase in content of concern such as violence and explicit sexuality.

	How does sweeps week work? - By Sean Rocha - Slate Magazine
		Sweeps began 50 years ago when the AC Nielsen Co., which dominates the television rating business, mailed out diaries to selected households across the country and asked the residents to record their television viewing habits.
		Networks defend sweeps because they fear that actual year-round viewership is lower than the current system suggests; with a more accurate count, they might have to charge less.
		And the local advertisers—because they are scattered across the country, make small ad buys, and have less clout than their national peers—are stuck because the networks deliver an audience of unparalleled size that they can't afford to boycott in an attempt to force a change in the system.

	The rec.arts.tv FAQL: Section 3.6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		There are four "sweeps" periods during the year (though the fourth sweeps period in the summer is less important): November sweeps, February sweeps, May sweeps and July sweeps.
		It is during these "sweeps" periods (lasting 4 weeks) that the advertising rates for a network's schedule of shows (and for local channel's programming) are set with sponsors and advertisers.
		November sweeps set the ad rates for the following spring; they are probably as important as the May sweeps, and they are used to gauge the success of new TV shows that premiere in the fall.

		Sweeps should know as much as they can about chimney swifts-how they nest, what they eat, what else they do.

		Sweeps could help by paying attention to what day they begin to appear in their service area.

		Fox is the only network to do this on a regular and constant basis, delaying the premiere of all major shows until November.
