JitterJam is unique in that it encompasses and surpasses the capabilities of single-purpose social media and marketing tools and puts the consumer at the core of the marketing platform. JitterJam builds a social profile for each consumer.
Consumer databases are often just static email lists and are collected for specific campaigns. JitterJam unifies the consumer contact across email, mobile and social sphere and develops background intelligence on each contact's activities and interests. JitterJam's Make Me Happy[TM] permission marketing system enables each consumer to drive how they want to be contacted, how often they'd like communications from the business or brand, and what specific types of communications they'd like to receive. After the business has received explicit permission to market, the multi-channel communications platform enables deep segmentation of the consumer database for highly targeted marketing campaigns that result in deeper engagement and higher returns. Those returns are immediately measured and the results available through the JitterJam platform. This enables businesses to identify and target the most active and engaged individuals.

Steve Spurrier didn't let "talking season" end without one final jab.
At South Carolina's media day on Sunday, the Head Ball Coach was asked about the upcoming vote on autonomy among the Power 5 conferences: the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC.
And rather than get into cost of attendance, full-term scholarships and other hot-button topics, Spurrier went in another direction first: scheduling.
Where some coaches, most notably Alabama's Nick Saban, want to see the SEC play only Power 5 conferences, Spurrier disagrees.
"The Big 5 conferences all playing each other, I don't think that makes a lot of sense, really," he told reporters in Columbia. "Out of conference, playing East Carolina is a lot tougher game than maybe picking up one of those bottom Big Ten teams."
Shots fired.
Duck, Jim Delany.
Well, sort of. If you haven't gotten used to Spurrier's antics by now, there's no helping you. Put a microphone in front of him and he's going to say something worthy of a headline.
But it was a compelling argument for Spurrier to make nonetheless, putting a mid-major like East Carolina up against the likes of the Big Ten. South Carolina hosts the Pirates of the American Athletic Conference in Week 2 of the season. And before you go dogging the matchup, remember this: East Carolina beat North Carolina and NC State last season, scoring a combined 97 points in the two games.
For comparison's sake, East Carolina's 10 wins in 2013 was more than all but Michigan State and Ohio State from the Big Ten.
Lest someone call Spurrier biased, he did say, "I like other conferences, too," when asked about the Power 5 autonomy. He even gave Bob Stoops' bottom-half-of-the-SEC argument a nod.
"The SEC, we have some down-the-line teams just like every conference," he said.
But, hey, what did we tell you? Spurrier isn't afraid to speak his mind, whether it rubs his SEC brethren the wrong way or not.

Skip to comments.Rubio campaigns with Romney, raising VP speculation
Posted on 04/23/2012 3:31:23 PM PDT by Flotsam_Jetsome
click here to read article
If he gets the nod what will the "He's not a natural born etc." crowd do? Will they sit on their hands and not vote? I dont think so. They will just swallow that pill and vote. Anything to get Obama out.
These must be qualifiers for the position.
Last week Rubio made a Freudian slip that may have hinted at his interest in the job. "Three, four, five, six, seven years from now, if I do a good job as vice president -- I'm sorry, as senator -- I'll have the chance to do all sorts of things," Rubio said Thursday at a forum.
It's like he is repeating for all to hear what the GOP-e have whispered to him behind closed doors. It's creepy.
I heard that also.
The term "birther" was made up by the left in order to discredit those with that view (I personally don't care).
Interesting to see that some on this board have adopted the language of the left...
What's ironic is, with the racist 'hoodies' working full-time trying to demonize Zimmerman and create an anti-latino race war, the GOP-e might actually have blindly stumbled onto circumstances which could result in breaking the democrat party's stranglehold on the entire hispanic vote.
There's a determined group of that bloc, which is all about racial solidarity and "reconquista" of the American southwest - they'll never vote GOP, even if the Bush family were to promise them the American southwest, in exchange for it. But Rubio would be a powerful influence on latinos if he were on the ticket.
Not saying I like the GOP-e, nor Mitt Romney.
However I like Rubio; so do a lot of people. He's not a lightweight IMO.
The GOP prospects for November, aren't actually that bad. Trending positive.
This is not turning into a re-run of McCain 2008.
I don't know where you have pulled your figures from, but the GOP-e is not "trending positive" as you say.
But also notice the trajectory of the Republicans' support. The GOP's favorability rating is down to just 35% -- 13 points lower than their rivals -- which isn't just low, it's also the third lowest it's been since CNN polls started keeping track 20 years ago.
It would appear the support that helped drive GOP gains in the 2010 midterms has completely faded away. This matters, not only in the Republican drive to take back the White House, but also when it comes to the 2012 congressional races.
Thirty-four percent hold a favorable opinion of Romney, the lowest for any leading presidential candidate in ABC/Post polls in primary seasons since 1984. His unfavorable score is higher than Obama ever has received; it's been exceeded by just one other Republican candidate this year, Newt Gingrich, and by only one top candidate in 28 years, Hillary Clinton in 2008. Obama, for his part, remains above water - 53 percent favorable, 43 percent unfavorable in this poll
Well other than that the argument of two citizen parents and born on U.S. soil wasn't the argument until sometime AFTER the election in 2008.
It seems that this should have been known to all and sundry - if it were true - and not a dusty old argument taken down off the shelf sometime AFTER the 2008 election.
Better than Hillary as Romney's VP.
Darn the UNANIMOUS lunatics on the Minor and Ark courts.
By 'AFTER' do you mean AFTER 1789, when Dr. Ramsay, Congerssional historian, wrote his "A Dissertation on the Manners of Acquiring the Character and Priviliges of a Citizen" - or after 1814 when Chief Justice Marshall cited Vattel - or the dozen cases citing common law until 1875 and Chief Justice Waite, who turned the common law into precedent - or 1898 when Justice Gray, in spite of his dilemma, his having been appointed by the ineligible Chester Arthur, made Wong Kim a citizen, because his parents weren't citizens, in spite of his having been born on our soil - or 1916 when Attorney, later Ambassador, Breckenridge Long wrote a lengthy legal article in the US's largest legal newspaper explaining the law and two parent sovereign birth requirement in Chicago Legal News Volume 49, ironically protecting Woodrow Wilson's candidacy - or 1939, or 1939 when Chief Justice Hughes' decision confirmed that Marie Elg, like Steinkuler, could not lose her natural born citizenship, granted by nature, not Congress, even though her parents repudiated their US cititzenship and raised her in Sweden, because she was born in New York to citizen parents?
Either you belong to the crowd depending upon the media or crony capitalist Rinos for truth, or, like so many stalking FR, you are working for Barack. It doesn't matter. Those who don't appreciate the advantages of a nation built upon laws will have to learn the hard way about life under a dictatorship of the bureaucracy. Some people with the necessary skills will take their ability to produce to societies where bureaucrats haven't spent the capital of human productivity to support the drones who allow them to languish, whose creativity is spent on schemes for redistributing the productivity of the diminishing few who still do produce.
Shouldn't Romney pick someone closer to his political philosophy, like Susan Collins, or Bernie Sanders?
There are currently only two types of U.S. citizen. Those who were natural born and those who were naturalized.
Rubio was never naturalized.
He was born a citizen according to U.S. law - which should always reflect our best understanding of natural law.
I dunno. Some think Susan Collins, or Bernie Sanders would be a better fit. ;)
Exactly allmendream. "He was born a citizen." He was not born a natural citizen. Rubio, like Obama if we assume he was born in Hawaii, is 'native-born', like American Indians, who were native-born and not citizens but residents. Rubio was made a citizen by the 14th Amendment, which is based upon Article I Section 8, the command to Congress to create a "uniform rule for Naturalization." A rule for "Naturalization" does not creat natural born citizens, but 'naturalized citizens!"
What is not natural about such citizens, a notion from 'natural law', is that they inherit the allegiances of their parents, which may be entirely opposed to the principles for which our founders fought. That is obviously the case with Barack. Don't forget, the only reason the Constitution mentions the phrase natural born citizen is to specify the requirement for just one of our citizens, the citizen who will honor, defend, and protect the Constitution. Otherwise, there is no phrase to specify the requrements for citizenship in the Constitution. Citizenship requirements were specific to each colonial state, and were to be made uniform by Congress.
Congressman John Binghum, the author and sponsor of the Naturalization amendment that made Obama and Rubio ciitzens, told the house while explaining his amendment prior to its passage from the Congress for ratification in three fourths of the states:
I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen
Rubio was naturalized, as eventually were his parents. His was 'jus soli' naturalization based upon the 14th Amendmendment, which uses the unfortunate term "Native-born citizen of the US," the exact term used by Barack Obama on his web site fightthesmears.com. You are correct about two classes of citizen, natural born and naturalized. Naturalized citizens become citizens under law, such as the 14th Amendment; natural citizens are citizens based upon natural law, the guiding foundation according to our Declaration of Indpendence. And what is a natural born citizen? There are dozens of citations from legal scholars around the time our framers and founders were alive, but the most cited, by far, including frequently in Supreme Court decisions, and our first law book, as assigned by Thomas Jefferson, at our first law school, William and Mary in 1779, was Vattel's 'Law of Nations', an exposition of 'nature's law'.
Through the turn of the twentieth century no one doubted the common definition of what was a natural born citizen. That is what Chief Justice Waite told us, and the rest of the justices agreed. Even in 1939, Chief Justice Hughes didn't question Marie Elg's natural born citizenship, even though she was raised by her parents in Sweden when her dad repudiated his US naturalization because he found a good job in Sweden. She couldn't be denied citizenship, though our State Department argued otherwise, because her's was natural born citizenship, granted by nature, not men.
The term natural born citizen appears nowhere in the 14th Amendment. The attempt to conflate natural born and native born using Wong Kim Ark, which is based upon the 14th Amendment, is logical and legal nonsense - which doesn't mean that the court won't do it if forced to reinterpret natural born citizenship. We are seeing politicians chafing under the constraints imposed upon government by our Constitution, both Democrats and Republicans, both bodies becoming wealthy parasites upon the productivity of free men. They are killing the host by devaluing the Constitution written to protect those individuals who are now, unwillingly, supporting Washington D.C.'s growing wealth as government, its employee salaries, and benefits, exceeds twice the national average. Obama, with no allegiance inherited from his parents, is an ideal choice, unless people realize that we have protections. Allegiance is difficult for many to grasp, particularly as we welcome citizens whose clearly stated objective is to turn US citizen into subjets of the Caliphate, into our defense and justice departments.
Naturalization is a legal process as defined by Congress.
Being born a citizen is not a legal process of naturalization - it is being naturally born a citizen.
One is either born a citizen according to U.S. law - which should always be our best reflection of natural law - or one must be "naturalized" into that condition that otherwise only birth could bring.
Natural law is key to our Constitutional Republic - it is not to be found in a dusty book written by one man - but it is up to us as citizens and our elected Representatives and our Courts to decide how best to conform our law to what is natural and correct.
At some level anyone who has studied the constitution even if only in middle school... knows the truth of what the framers intended when they specified that the president must be a natural born citizen. I don't really even need to specify because at a gut level we all know that their intention was to protect the Republic from malevolent foreign influence. Those born with a parent with foreign allegiance are the ones that the framers intended to exclude. It is not rocket science... it is common sense.
It is both laughable and disturbing that someone could actually believe that the framers could have intended that Adolph Hitler's progeny would have been eligible to be our president even if Eva Braun had given birth to him within our borders and even if she were an underage Nazi girl who was a US citizen. This is the height of intellectual dishonesty. Yet we see it argued over and over and over in this forum... all to protect a president whose actions have demonstrated repeatedly that he puts foreign interests ahead of the interests of our own country.
I don't care how elaborately they construct their legalese arguments... it is all wrong and everyone who is a patriot knows at their very core that it is all wrong. Why do these people continue to spew out this trash? Why do the rest of us put up with it? The Alinskyites especially deserve to be grabbed by the ear and kicked in their asses on their way out.
Those who identify with the left are not ignorant. They hold most citizens in disdain. For many of them, confusing people is sport. They, along with their teleprompter-driven tool, Barack, consider the Constitution an unwanted constraint. Since few are successful entrepreneurs, they take advantage of the inherent vulnerability of a society which members aren't subjects of a tangible monarch. One of our presidents before we had a Constitution, Dr. David Ramsay explained why we are not subjects, and do not observe British common law, in 1779:
"The difference is immense. Subject is derived from the latin words, sub and jacio, and means one who is under the power of another; but a citizen is an unit of a mass of free people, who collectively, possesses sovereignty."
"Subjects look up to a master, but citizens are so far equal, that none have hereditary rights superior to others. Each citizen of a free state contains, within himself, by nature and the constitution, as much of the common sovereignty as another. In the eye of reason and philosophy, the political condition of citizens is more exalted than that of noblemen. Dukes and earls are the creatures of kings, and may be made by them at pleasure: but citizens possess in their own right original sovereignty."
Our continued efforts to inform are having an impact. Many on FR recognize the tactics, even when the Obots change their names. Membership dates help. The older Obots are now too well known to have the impact they once did. But education is the antidote. Like any topic, having a problem to solve makes probing the mass of sources easier. It opens up the two hundred thirty years since the ratification. When people are vulnerable to the implication that there is no definition in the Constitution for natural born citizens, when the Constitution explicitly does not contain definitions, the cleverness of the professional confidence men now controlling the Executive branch is exposed.
Few connect the fact that a liberal activist, whose desire for a Supreme Court appointment was dashed by his being caught plagiarizing a recent book, was Obama's adviser at Harvard, constitutional law professor, and on Obama's campaign committee - Larry Tribe. Larry's potential legal problems were smothered by Elena Kagan. Obfuscation of Obama's ineligibility was likely engineered by Larry and Elena. Look who was made solicitor general, responsible for presenting or preventing cases from reaching the court - Kagan. Look who wouldn't recuse herself when cases from Donofrio and Apuzzo were selected for hearing - Kagan, now Justice Kagan. We are vulnerable because so few of us know anything about our history. But we are leaning quickly!
I have a feeling that Rubio is getting ready to turn into a BIG FAT RINO.
I'm sorry, but I can't help but see this happening very soon.
I really hope I am wrong.
He already has NYCslicker. He has become the stalking horse for the RINOs still running the Republican party to keep their promotion of the ineligible McCain and, by implication, knowledge that Obama too was ineligible, under the cover of protection already provided by the press, and by the beholden pundits too afraid of Alinsky ridicule, or too afraid of losing their crony contracts dealt by Republican power brokers.
"Would this be a good thing, or a very, very bad thing?"
As Rubio is not a Natural Born Citizen and ineligible to be POTUS, this would be avery bad thing.
I agree. Some feel that his being on the GOP ticket would perforce make the DNC go after him for not having (any) citizen parents at the time of his birth. No way. I think that they wouldn't say a peep, and would allow the"Obama" precedent be reinforced by a Rubio candidacy.
I think the GOP-e is in for a very rude awakening if they think that there aren't enough people who know of and care about this issue to make them lose in November if they try to put this guy up. Of course, they may very well desire just that.
Stupid Sellout Party.

3 too many??
I think you will need to replace the smart seat with a radian. Then when the twins are done with the infant seats, they will need radians too.

^Yup, likely that. The SmartSeat is a BEAST.

The Smart seat may be ok in the tarus since its got some room in teh back. You probably will need to do a seat belt install. WHich snugrides do you Have?
Ok see if you can find this base
Its a good 3 inches narrower and works with the 30-32 and 35. That may mean what you have will work. The orginal 35 base flares out and takes up more room.
The Radian is a convertible car seat made by Diono.
Melia, CPST mommy to
E (5/09) and EK (6/11), expecting a new arrival 11/26!
in the escape you will likely need three radians period, that is a tight fit, I barely got three in my hubby's car. I could make a scenera fit for one but it really was not a good install at all.
I can see if I can find my pictures of three seats in that car for you, also is your two year old still rear facing?
here is the link to the photos of my kids, I could not find photos in the escape, but these are in jeep patriot with side to side width is the same, this one has less space front to back though, also if you want infant buckets, you could in the escape likely use two OnBoard 35s as tehy are very very narrow and a radian to start with if you did not want a radian for newborns to start with but after they outgrow those you will need three in that car www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...

|Summary, etc.:
| Taqwacore chronicles the nascent Muslim punk rock movement in America. It was inspired by the work of Michael Knight, a convert to Islam who wrote the novel The Taqwacores (a term combining the Muslim concept of God consciousness with hardcore punk). The film follows Knight and a variety of young Muslim musicians on tour through the U.S. before bringing their music to Lahore, breaking taboos along the way-- from staging a lesbian thrash act at an Islamic convention to stomping on the American flag, or as Knight explains, giving the finger to both sides. Taqwacore charts their attempts to navigate the gap between their cultures and their countries, their religion and their individuality.

Woo another question about ear piercing!
Riingo posted on Jan 20, 2011 3:16:07 PM - Report post
This came to mind. When you gage your ears (I am not going to but this came to mind) does it re-open your wounds from the piercing or just stretch it?

I have had my ears pierced way back when then,had them stretched out to 1". I have had no problems whatsoever with them.

Unless you try and stretch it to far to fast, then you will open up scars and could potentially rip your ear.

Jamestown's Cautious View
Jamestown Properties, an Atlanta firm that manages real-estate funds held by thousands of largely German investors, made headlines last week when it was reported that Google Inc. was considering buying a Manhattan office building from a Jamestown venture with a price tag that could hit $2 billion.
But also worth noting is a building that Jamestown is buying: a two-million-square-foot former store and warehouse in Atlanta built in the 1920s by a predecessor to Sears Holdings Corp. Jamestown is planning to redevelop the building into a mixed-use property with rental apartments, condos, retail and office space.
The two deals reflect a strategy at Jamestown that is worth paying attention to given that the firm has been remarkably prescient in its 27 years of buying and selling U.S. commercial property. Jamestown's decision to put the 2.9-million-square-foot building at 111 Eighth Ave. in New York on the block reflects the view of Christoph Kahl, Jamestown's founder, that investors are willing to pay up for core office property because there is a scarcity of it on the market.
Mr. Kahl, 56 years old, who started his career at a German real-estate syndicator, founded Jamestown in 1983. Mr. Kahl said he expects to see more buying opportunities as the values of prime U.S. office towers fall in the next year or two, because he predicts the market will be flooded with office properties as owners are pressured by rising interest rates and lower rents, as well as the expected supply of distressed properties coming to market.
At the same time, Mr. Kahl is more interested in unique properties that won't be affected by a flood of lower-priced buildings.
"In this market, you can only do selective things," Mr. Kahl said. "You have to be very cautious and look for the niche that will not get the wave of supply."
The strategy of seeking out unique real-estate plays isn't new for Jamestown, a firm that has acquired more than 80 U.S. properties over the years, including One Times Square in New York, the site of the New Year's Eve ball drop; Pacific Place, a mixed-use property in San Francisco; and 999 Peachtree St. in Atlanta. It also bought and sold the General Motors Building in New York.
Jamestown has assets under management valued at more than $4.2 billion. Investors in the 23 funds that Jamestown has liquidated earned average annual returns over the life span of the investments of between 8% and 35%, Mr. Kahl said.
Jamestown initially bought prime properties with reliable cash flow and continues investing in these types of buildings to this day. Among its redevelopments, Jamestown helped reposition Chelsea Market, a former Nabisco factory in New York, into a property with prime office space and boutique retail.
In agreeing to buy the Atlanta property for $27 million, the firm is tackling a storied property that has defied years of redevelopment efforts. One of the city's largest buildings, it was acquired by the city in 1991 and at one point housed police headquarters.
Last year, Jamestown began talks with a group of developers who have had the City Hall East complex under contract since 2005, with plans to redevelop it as a mixed-use development that would have included more than a thousand residential units, said the group's leader, Atlanta-area developer Emory Morsberger. The group was unable to get financing after the condominium market collapsed, Mr. Morsberger said.
Before agreeing to buy the property, Jamestown asked the city to restructure the agreement to allow Jamestown to pay about $15.5 million at closing and the remaining $11.5 million only if certain investment goals were met on the project, said David Bennett, senior policy adviser to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
Another change is that Jamestown also wants to reduce the number of residential units to about 400, along with about 250,000 square feet of retail space and about 400,000 square feet of office space that it plans for the project.
The city, which estimates it costs about $600,000 to maintain the empty building annually and expects nearly $1 billion in economic benefits over the next 10 years if it is developed, opted to restructure the agreement with Jamestown.
"There is a definite incentive to getting it sold," said Ernestine Garey, interim president of the Atlanta Development Authority, which will handle the sale of the property.

Newbies ... everywhere.
In the front line, at the net. In the back row. Obviously, at the service line.
They're just about everywhere at the University of Northern Colorado's preseason volleyball practice.
Blending in, fitting in and most of all, welcomed by a standout corps of returning players for the Bears.
Six — count 'em — six freshmen — 5-foot-11 freshman setter Ryleigh Haynes (Eaton), 6' 1" middle blocker Alexandra Kloehn (Corona, Calif.), 5' 11" outside hitter Michaela Nelson (Iowa City, Iowa), 5' 11" middle blocker Timarie Nymeyer (South Lake, Texas), 6' 2" middle blocker Emily O'Neil (Miami Shores, Fla.), and 6' outside hitter Kim Weissmann (Loveland) are adjusting to the up-tempo pace of the college game and the learning curve that goes with the territory.
Lending a helping hand is 6' 2" senior middle blocker Brianna Strong, who has been through the ropes and knows what to expect from freshmen in a successful and prestigious program such as UNC.
Some preseason conditioning remains the constant — fitness tests, stadium test, jumping and shuffling.
However, with six newcomers, some things change.
"Now that we have six new freshmen coming in, it's a little different look," Strong said. "Dre (Andrea Spaustat) and I aren't the only middles (middle blockers). We have three other middles. It's a little bit different because of us having more people. A little bit different, a little of the same." Strong explained that surprisingly some preseason drills haven't missed a beat.
"We've just jumped right into it," Strong added. "The first workout was a little bit off, and there are times when there's a little bit of miscommunication. The freshmen are watching us, learning and seeing what our program is all about."
Strong doesn't overly concern herself with the talent level or even the pace of progress the freshman class is at.
"I trust our coaches' recruiting," Strong said. "I know they've recruited people who will represent the Bears well. They'll adapt to our style. I never worry about it. It's new people, new friends."
Nelson has welcomed being a newbie, with the bar set high.
"There's a lot of new but good things," Nelson said. "There's a lot of technique things that I hadn't learned before. It's exciting to learn these things and to become a better player. This is high intensity volleyball."
Nelson conceded that the high altitude has been another adjustment, but the Bears' conditioning drills have made it easier.
"The tempo of the game is a lot faster than what I'm used to," Nelson said. "Also, everybody does a great job of making everybody feel included."
UNC veteran coach Lyndsey Oates has maintained her practice of conducting freshmen only practices, usually before a normal practice with the entire team.
"It depends on how many freshmen and how many veterans we have," Oates explained. "We have a lot of freshmen right now, so we've had a lot of freshmen practices.
"Usually they're about 30 minutes before our regular practice ... we have to text them up on concepts and philosophies," Oates added. "They'll hear us talk about things that the veterans already know. Also, they're more likely to ask a question when it's just them."
Oates also explained that the transition for setters and middle blockers is more difficult than outside hitters, adding "four of our freshmen are setters and middle blockers. It takes a little longer for them than players at other positions."
Even just after four days of preseason workouts, the Bears have scrimmaged and it's hard to tell the difference between a newbie and an oldie.
"I'm pleasantly surprised at where we're at," Oates said. "Our veterans came back really fit and some came back more advanced than when we last saw them in the spring. I'm also pleasantly surprised how fast our freshmen are catching on."

All of TEC Lighting's staff have been helpful and in many cases gone out of their way to make us happy. That's service is hard to find these day's.
I purchased the XtraCure Model XC18-1-3D. It has performed beautifully with my Konica Minolta printer.
I think Tec Lighting (and product line) needs to be on your 'Top Supplier/Product' list – the training went without a hitch and was very thorough and informative.
Our customers are extremely satisfied with the finished products we have been producing. Highly recommended – A great investment.
In the competitive environment we find ourselves in, offering UV Coating to our product line has given us an advantage.

Forbes Highlights Roger Ailes' Use Of "Sex Appeal" And "Objectification Of Women" To Boost Fox News' Ratings
Forbes, Citing Former Fox Anchor, Reports Ailes Stipulated Female Contributor "Remain A Size Four"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Former Fox News president Roger Ailes exploited female employees' "sex appeal" and instituted a "culture of objectification of women" to boost ratings, according to Forbes. Reportedly among the "sexually charged culture fostered by Ailes" was a condition in a female Fox contributor's contract that "required her to remain a size four."
Ailes had a long and sordid history of rampant sexism and misogyny during his time as Fox News' chief. Since former Fox host Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes, dozens of women have reportedly come forward to make claims of similar harassment.
Amid fallout from the allegations and Ailes' ouster, media reports unearthed a culture of sexual harassment and intimidation at Fox that went beyond Ailes and suggested a "broader problem in the workplace."
Forbes' Madeline Berg, citing "former Fox employees," wrote that Ailes "fostered" a "sexually charged culture" at Fox News that rested upon the "objectification of women" and "sex appeal." Ailes frequently relied on showing "a thin blonde, often large-chested, invariably heavily made up, wearing a fitted and brightly colored dress or skirt, visible through the transparent desk" as a "formula for boosting ratings," according to the article. Berg quoted a "former anchor" who said a female contributor "claimed her contract required her to remain a size four," and a "former producer" who said "skirts were a 'requirement'" for female employees. From the July 27 Forbes article:
These "second floor" recommendations reflect one of many examples of the sexually charged culture fostered by Ailes at Fox News and Fox Business News, the two networks he created and ran for the parent company 21st Century Fox.
Following a lawsuit filed against Ailes earlier this month by former anchor Gretchen Carlson alleging sexual harassment and retaliation, FORBES spoke to a number of former Fox employees to get a sense of what went on behind the scenes during the Ailes era.
21st Century Fox declined to comment on the story. Representatives for Ailes did not respond to requests for comments. But the former employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, described a culture of objectification of women and an unwillingness to stand up to superiors, including the authoritarian and god-like Ailes, who earned an extraordinary degree of autonomy from his notoriously hands-on boss, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, due to the unprecedented success he brought to 21st Century Fox.
One part of Ailes' formula for boosting ratings: sex appeal.
A look at almost any show on the network often shows a thin blonde, often large-chested, invariably heavily made up, wearing a fitted and brightly colored dress or skirt, visible through the transparent desk.
A former anchor recalled a contributor who claimed her contract required her to remain a size four—very thin, especially considering she was 5'9''.
And a former contributor and guest host said that he even knew female anchors who chose to wore (sic) waterbras to enhance their cleavage due to pressure to look a certain way.

Former Mercyhurst star hustling to stick with Royals
CLEVELAND -- When the Kansas City Royals called up David Lough last month because of an injury in their outfield, they didn't promise the former Mercyhurst University standout anything more than a spot on the 25-man roster.
Lough, who has spent nearly three full seasons in Triple-A waiting for a meaningful look, understood that. And he's taking nothing for granted in his second big-league opportunity.
On Monday, Lough, an Akron native, made two hustle plays in a 2-1 win over his hometown Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.
They weren't the stuff of national highlights, like his diving catch last week to rob the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera of extra bases.
But they were the kind of moments that could make it tough for the Royals to send him back to Omaha when Jarrod Dyson comes off the disabled list.
Lough legged out a double on a soft line drive to the gap in the seventh inning and beat out a bunt to load the bases in the ninth during the Royals' winning rally.
Lough's 2-for-4 in the box score didn't tell the full story, but the at-bats didn't go unnoticed by Kansas City manager Ned Yost, who singled out Lough in his postgame interview.
Of the double, Lough said, "I've actually done that a couple of times where the outfielder will dive for it, and once I see that, I see the ball jump up, I think two all the way. The center fielder has to come over, grab it and make a perfect throw to get me. Once I see that guy dive for it, I'm already thinking two for sure. That's probably the third time I've done that."
The bunt caught Indians third baseman John McDonald flat-footed. Reliever Rich Hill came off the mound to make the play but didn't have a chance, and ended up on his backside while Lough sprinted through the bag to load the bases.
The Royals eventually scored what turned out to be the winning run on a wild pitch.
"It was just one of those bunts where I saw the third baseman didn't really crash," Lough said. "I was able to get it down the left side. Any bunt I put down I run hard no matter what, because you never know what can happen. In those situations you don't give yourself up and just jog down the line. You bust your (butt). That's what it's all about. And it ended up working out for us."
After batting .237 in a 20-game September call-up last season, the 27-year-old Lough has made the most of his opportunity this time. He has eight multi-hit games in 25 starts, hit his first big-league homer earlier this month and had that highlight catch against Cabrera, which made the rounds on highlight shows for a couple of days.
The left-handed-hitting Lough has played almost exclusively against right-handers, and Yost has moved him around the outfield and given him at least one start in every spot in the order but second, fourth and ninth.
"I'm a lot more comfortable this time," said Lough, who left 10 tickets for family members Monday and took batting practice on the field with his father, Denny, earlier in the day. "(The call-up) was due to an injury, which is unfortunate, but it gives me an opportunity. Whatever my role is on this team, I've been playing a lot, I feel a lot more comfortable than last year, coming up in September.
"Just being around these guys, I know a lot of these guys I came up through the system with. The comfort level is off the charts, a lot better than last year."
Despite batting .455 in 24 spring games, Lough was a late cut and started slowly in his fourth season in Omaha. But he rebounded to put together a 16-game hitting streak, and his .340 average and .393 on-base percentage in the leadoff spot made him an obvious replacement when Dyson went out with a high ankle sprain.
Yost said at the time that Lough "went down and did what you ask all young guys who have good springs to do -- he continued it."
When he arrived in Kansas City, the Royals were scuffling. They had lost seven of 10 and continued to slide, falling nine games below .500 until bouncing back with the best record in baseball so far in June.
Monday's win left them at 12-4 this month and got them back to .500 on Monday night.
"We've been resilient," Lough said. "Before we went on this winning run where we couldn't win a game when I first got called up. And then all of a sudden things just clicked for us, and we've been on a roll. Everybody's relaxed, laid back, and pretty confident."
Joe Spano, Lough's former coach at Mercyhurst, said he doesn't believe it's a coincidence that the Royals have played well with Lough playing regularly.
"I'm biased, but I think he has everything to do with it," Spano said. "When he came to us as a freshman he only hit around .300, but he changed the culture of our program because of the way he plays the game. The kid's won a ring at every level in the minors, and that tells you something about him. He makes a team better."

CLEMSON -- After a much-maligned performance last season, the offensive line's most important critic, Clemson line coach Brad Scott, offered a positive review of the unit's 2009 premiere.
Against a Middle Tennessee defense showing four different packages, multiple fronts and plenty of stunting and twisting, Scott was pleased with how his offensive line recognized and communicated.
The Tigers allowed two quarterback hits, one sack, and were penalized just twice. Though it is difficult to decipher whether the Tigers will be stouter at the point of attack using a Sun Belt team as a gauge, Clemson did gain 202 rushing yards on 47 carries.
There were just three missed assignments by the interior linemen, according to Scott. He was especially pleased with the play of sophomores Mason Cloy (center) and Antoine McClain (right guard).
Scott said there were six opportunities where Cloy had to make quick calls with pressure coming, and he succeeded on every account, getting the line in position to pick up firing linebackers.
"Mason did a great job," Scott said. "We had a bunch of guys grade out as winners."
McClain graded out well, too, and appeared much more comfortable in his second year as a starter.
"We are much further along in technique," Scott said, "in accuracy of movement, I like to say. (McClain's) missed assignments were just cut down tremendously."
The pessimist would note against an undersized Middle Tennessee front, Clemson settled for a short field goal in the first half after failing to punch the ball in on consecutive goal-line runs.
Left tackle Chris Hairston said it was partly attributed to the Tigers adjusting to an unorthodox scheme.
"I don't think it was guys giving up," Hairston said of the goal-line work. "We just have gotta get an attitude where we have to make this play."
Hairston, Corey Lambert and Landon Walker each played approximately 45 snaps, according to tackles/tight ends coach Danny Pearman. Pearman indicated both Walker and Lambert would play Thursday. The second-team line played most of the fourth quarter.
Calling on Costner
Kicker Richard Jackson said he borrowed from Kevin Costner's character in "For Love of the Game" while preparing himself for Saturday's opener.
To ease nerves and block out the 80,000, Jackson alluded to the "clearing the mechanism" practice Costner, a fictional major league pitcher, used to steady himself in the film.
"I was just aiming at a point and trying to block out the rest," Jackson said. "That's kind of what I do: take the same steps and pick out a spot I want to look at."
Jackson admitted to having serious pre-game nerves, and was pleased Clemson's opening drive only lasted about 10 seconds -- thanks to C.J. Spiller's 96-yard touchdown return -- so he didn't have to think too long about kicking the extra point.
Jackson made 3 of 5 field goals and might have a chance to create considerable separation from Spencer Benton should he perform well at Atlanta on Thursday.
Extra points
After a one-catch, one-drop performance Saturday, Xavier Dye said Monday that Brandon Clear received more reps with the first-team offense Sunday night. ... Spiller practiced Monday after sitting out the second half against Middle Tennessee after feeling a pull in his hamstring and jamming his toe.

Halloween Contact Lenses and Other Special-Effect Contacts
On this page: Latest trends and designs • Do you need a prescription? • Where to buy special-effect lenses • Safety checklist
Special-effect contact lenses including black contact lenses, Halloween contact lenses and other "crazy" lenses are soft contact lenses that are available for theatrical and novelty uses.
Just like colored contact lenses, special-effect (FX) or crazy contacts can be used whether or not you normally wear eyeglasses or contact lenses, because most types are available both with and without lens powers to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism.
|Special-Effect Contact Lens Photo Gallery
Please mouseover thumbnails below to see close-ups. All designs by Orion Vision Group.
It's important to note that all contact lenses, including plano Halloween contacts and any other special-effects contacts, are classified as medical devices by the FDA and require a valid contact lens prescription from a licensed eye care practitioner.
Theatrical or novelty lenses are safe to wear but only when they are properly prescribed and cared for, and purchased from a legitimate source. Putting the finishing touch to your Halloween costume is not worth a sight-threatening eye infection from improper contact lens use. (Read our Safety Checklist below.)
How Do Special-Effect Contacts Work?
Special-effect contact lenses have an opaque (non-transparent) tint to completely mask your natural eye color and are available in a wide variety of dramatic colors and designs. The center of the lens, which lies over your pupil, is clear so you can see.
Recommended For You
Most novelty or costume contact lenses cover just the colored portion of your eye (iris), but special-effect scleral lenses, like all-black, red, yellow or white contacts, cover both the iris and the "white" (sclera) of your eyes to create a truly haunting look.
Special Effects Contact Lenses: Trends and Designs
Black sclera contact lenses, white contact lenses, wild eyes, cat eyes whichever you choose, there's a huge array of Halloween contact lenses to add the ultimate finishing touch to your Halloween costume.
Current trends in theatrical or novelty contact lenses are inspired by movies and cult TV shows.
These include the popular black, white and yellow special-effect scleral contact lenses, as worn on the cult TV show True Blood; red and amber colored contacts like those worn in Twilight, New Moon and Breaking Dawn; and Goth contact lenses in patterns of red, black, white and yellow which channel The Exorcist.
Other movie character special-effect lenses include vivid green "Mad Hatter" colored contacts inspired by the movie Alice in Wonderland, yellow "alien" contacts as featured in Avatar and even yellow cat-eyes like those seen in Harry Potter.
Crazy contact lenses remain popular, too. These include zombie, vampire and other supernatural designs such as spider webs, cat eyes and werewolves perfect for adding the "wow" factor to your Halloween or special occasion costume.
If you want even scarier looking contact lenses, there are mesh-look contacts and even neon glow-in-the-dark UV lenses!
Do You Need a Prescription?
Yes while novelty contacts are designed for fun, they still are considered medical devices and cannot be purchased legally in the United States without a contact lens prescription.
You must see your eye doctor for a contact lens exam to have them properly fitted and prescribed, even if you have perfect eyesight and don't need corrective eyewear.
Contact lenses including special-effect lenses are not a "one size fits all." A poor lens fit can lead to eye infection, corneal ulcer, decreased vision and even blindness.
Circle Contact Lenses
Circle lenses are a relatively recent phenomenon. Also called "big eye" lenses, they make your eyes look larger than normal to produce a doll-like appearance, inspired by doe-eyed anime cartoon characters.
Many companies sell circle contact lenses illegally, which increases the risk of eye health complications.
Issues concerning the safety of circle lenses have been well-documented in the U.S. media in recent years.
Many companies selling circle lenses in the U.S. do so illegally, either without requesting a prescription or selling unapproved lenses or both.
To help avoid the risk of developing a serious lens-related eye infection, always ensure you are buying contact lenses from a legitimate source.
Where to Buy Theatrical and Special Effects Contacts
By law, your eye doctor must give you a copy of your contact lens prescription if you request it, which means you have the option of buying contact lenses from any eye care professional (ECP), optical chains and legitimate online retailers.
The cost of contact lenses with special-effect designs is comparable to that of more conventional color contact lenses designed to enhance or change your eye color.
Custom hand-painted designs, however, can cost significantly more.
To ensure a safe wearing experience, always buy your special-effect contact lenses from an authorized source.
Never buy special-effect contacts at any store that doesn't ask you for a valid contact lens prescription.
Don't buy contact lenses from a flea market, street vendor, beauty salon, Halloween store or similar setting. Such sales are illegal in the U.S., and for good reasons:
- You might be getting unsafe products that are not FDA-approved for sale in the U.S. Don't risk your eyes on products that may have been manufactured improperly or don't have sterile packaging.
- Even wearing FDA-approved lenses can be dangerous, if they haven't been specifically fitted to your eyes. Poor-fitting contact lenses can cause serious vision problems, corneal abrasions and infections. Plus, they probably won't be comfortable to wear!
Watch this video by the FDA on improper use of decorative contact lenses.Watch this video by the FDA on improper use of decorative contact lenses.
According to a 2015 consumer survey sponsored by the American Optometric Association (AOA), 26 percent of Americans who purchased non-corrective color or special-effect contact lenses did not have a valid prescription for the lenses from an eye doctor.
Also, a study published recently in the professional journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science found that people wearing cosmetic contact lenses (defined as decorative, color and non-corrective lenses, often obtained without a prescription) had more than a 16 times greater risk of developing an eye infection than people wearing standard corrective contact lenses prescribed by an eye doctor.
Safety Checklist
- Visit your eye doctor for a contact lens exam, fitting and prescription (regardless of whether you need vision correction).
- Buy contact lenses from a licensed ECP or an eyewear retailer that requires you to have a prescription. Never buy contact lenses from an unlicensed source that doesn't require a prescription. Doing so greatly increases your risk of serious eye problems.
- Always follow your ECP's instructions for wearing and caring for your contact lenses, and visit your eye doctor for follow-up eye exams.
- Never share your contact lenses! While it may seem like a fun idea to swap special-effect lenses with your friends, sharing contacts can spread harmful bacteria and may result in serious eye health problems, including loss of vision.
- Keep in mind that "crazy" contact lenses generally are designed for daily wear only and are not FDA-approved to be worn overnight.
- If you experience any eye redness, swelling or discomfort, immediately remove your contact lenses and contact your eye doctor as soon as possible. This could be the sign of a potentially sight-threatening eye infection.
If you experience a problem with Halloween or other special-effect contact lenses, or see contacts being sold without a prescription online or elsewhere, the FDA would like to hear from you to help protect public safety. Here's how to report a contact lens problem to the FDA.

I spent all day reading Willy Vlautin's new novel,
, and listening to his band Richmond Fontaine's latest release,
, which locates a middle ground between the panoramic country-rock of 2003's
and the hushed acoustic textures of 2005's
Both are experiences in storytelling, which led me to pen a Vlautin-inspired story—er, review, of my own. Like punk's DIY ethos that taught kids that anyone can play an instrument, Vlautin makes you feel that everyone has stories that deserve to be heard. And he knows how much music can mean to those stories, too.

Okay, so I sat down with Guitar Hero 5 for the last few days. What happened? I actually found myself hooked. I am still trying to put my finger on the exact reason why I bought a Guitar Hero despite my disgust with Activision's flooding of the market with so many variations on the title.
Things I can at least say are improved over World Tour include the presentation, the Career mode, and DLC. The presentation seems to have taken a few cues from Rock Band, including a bit cleaner and less exaggeration. They even have a stage where they have integrated the Winamp visualizer into the background. Also, I have found the Career mode to be a lot less disjointed than the odd concert posters of World Tour. This time is straight forward, as you go down a list of tracks, which are separated on a simple list of venues. An improvement are the challenges added in to each of the songs. You can obtain a Gold, Platinum, and Diamond level by how you perform at these challenges and they are specific to performing the song with a specific instrument.
The last thing that has won me over was the ability to migrate songs from World Tour, Smash Hits, AND the World Tour DLC being compatible. The licenses are cheaper than RB2, as I spent 280 points for World Tour. I swore I read that it includes additional songs as they obtain the licenses, so we shall wait for more than 36 tracks. Regardless, I got my favorite band, NOFX's song from it, and also the DLC song that kicked my butt so I'm content for now. It's an improvement over World Tour, and worth the pick up over the previous Neversoft guitar titles. Improvements are improvements, but I don't necessarily find myself playing a sequel just because of tweaks to the overall formula. I just wish I could explain specificly what has drawn me to play this game so obsessively up to this point.
In other news, Sega has just teased a 2D Sonic the Hedgehog coming next year. It stirs great nostalgia and feelings. It only says it was built from the ground up, which could just mean a remake of the original Sonic the Hedgehog in HD. The logo at the end does look very similar. Given how many times Sega has disappoint, I will reserve judgment until I see a running product. Very interesting development.
Anyways, onto other subjects. I'm just contemplating what direction to go in. Within the last week or two, I've had a few customers who have been in game development remind me of how grueling the development process is on normal life. One person said the free games given to him were ways of apologizing to family members for being out of sight for months. If I remove that, there is still the other thing I love, which is talking about videogames. I can write, but I must be able to standout in some form to make it in this current period of time. I already know I write methodical and logical, with a general writing formula in mind. What will I do? At least write in here with whatever comes to mind. Just food for thought as I go through my day to day grind. Until next time, Joe out!

I get that Obama's power comes from the fact that 47 percent of Americans don't pay taxes and 49 percent of American Households have at least one member that receives a government check... both historical records.
I also get that the top 1 percent of american earners supplied 38 percent of income tax revenues before the recent Obama tax hike and that that will rise to an all-time record 42 percent this year because of the tax hike.
I get how government beneficiaries completely outnumber government contributors at the ballot box in socialist countries and that that is happening in the U.S. now.
What I DON'T get is that Americans USED to be able to SEE the horrors of incremental socialism in countless countries that adopted socialism before us and they flatly rejected it. Cuba, Venezuela, etc. have all suffered economic decline over the years and decades as a result of Obama-style policy implementation.
Why can't America SEE what huge deficits and rampant money printing lead to. Why can't they see that our current 50 year low in capital spending is destroying our industrial base.
Who ARE you people who love Obama but articulate well enough on this board to illustrate that you should know better than to see him as anything more than an economic disease in human form.
What would our grandfathers say if they could See Obama's deficits and see how Obama's friend Bernanke is debasing our currency with all this debt-monetization...
... they would roll over in their graves for sure.
Agree. Many people aren't aware the mainstream media is pure state-run propaganda pushing socialist agenda. For the true news go to TheBlaze website and TheBlaze on Dish channel 212.
TheBlaze .. isn't that Glen Beck empire renamed.... you are kidding I hope.
Well not putting myself into the category of those you mention (articulate Obama lover) but I need to point out that many of those people may not love Obama, they just dislike the alternative much worse. When you have 2 terrible choices, you pick the one you think will do the least damage. So the question becomes, why do they think Obama is less damaging...perhaps he is not killing off as many of their family members at war, perhaps they are unemployed and need money today, not in the form of jobs years from now. Not saying that Obama is improving their situations, but he gives that impression. Its the independant voters that make the difference in an election and Obama was better at convincing them he would not be as extreme(left or right) as the Republican alternative.
Obama has sanctioned the use of propaganda to replace the truth.
Fascinating analysis but what has it to do with IBM stock?
Is the IBM Message Board the only place you can natter on about this?
Let's talk about IBM, its stock & its future.
Debating the rights & wrongs of the present economic situation in the US becomes increasingly irrelevant as IBM continues to leave the US and its overpaid US employees behind and seeks profits for its stockholders (admittedly, mostly in the US) from the rest of the world.
"I" stands for "International" not "American".
Sentiment: Buy
Perhaps what many voters have witnessed and are reacting to during the last 20 years or so, is the immoral explotation of the working class by greeding corrupt business and political leaders, the damaging forever of much of the environment (big oil, mining, uncaring development), silly, religious-based "values" and other, to quote Jindal, "stupid" acts from the right-wing .

Northeast Regional Medical Center in Kirksville welcomed the first baby of the New Year.
Early Wednesday afternoon, the hospital welcomed Herizen Lyn, weighing in at 7 pounds and 7 ounces. Herizen was to be due in the last few days of December, but waited until the first day of the new year to make an appearance.
The growing family is happy to have an even more exciting reason to celebrate the new year.
'It's pretty cool to have a New Year's baby. We are just glad she came, and she's all healthy, and it's going to definitely be a New Years celebration every year now," said Russell Sandoval, Herizen's father.
Nurses at the hospital say that having a baby born on January 1st is a rare occurrence, but is always exciting when it happens.

So I think that Intel is well aware of user discomfort with the idea and privacy issues.
Definitely having a live camera aimed at you in your living room is extremely intrusive. IMO, if Intel has any insidious thoughts of using this camera in future to get advertising data, it will have to rethink its plans.
But keep in mind that the camera can be used for video chats (Skype, etc.) and video conferencing. That will be a neat feature to have on your set-top box.
Being able to disable the spying feature is good, provided doing so doesn't make the consumer pay more for the service. I would question the effectiveness of using the camera for Skype or any videoconferencing as most people have their settop box benath the TV or behind the glass door of a wall unit. And most new HDTV's are too thin to support an equipment box.
In the most likely settop box location the Intel camera would be about crotch level for people watching TV on their sofa. And don't think for a moment that dangling the carrot of living room videoconferencing will make spying on families acceptable.
