Tilted...?*

Greta Van Susteren's sudden departure from the network is just the latest aftershock. Uncertainty abounds not so much about the business but about its broadcasters.
Fox's parent company has settled with Gretchen Carlson and several other women who accused Ailes of harassment. But at least one lawsuit is still outstanding.

So far it's been mostly about subtraction. Van Susteren is just the highest profile departure; weekend "Fox & Friends" co-host Anna Kooiman said goodbye on Sunday, citing her husband's impending move to Australia.

Meteorologist Maria Molina signed off , citing a move to Michigan to pursue her Ph.D. More than half a dozen Ailes lieutenants have also left since July 21, the day Ailes resigned under pressure. Such turnover, both on air and off air, is highly unusual at Fox.

Kirsten Powers moved to CNN last month. But other talent changes are connected to the end of Ailes' tenure.  Other hosts and commentators who were especially close to Ailes are also likely to leave in the coming months -- not necessarily by choice.

The network faces a big challenge next year when the contracts for two of its remaining prime time hosts Kelly and Bill O'Reilly are set to expire.

Would the Network continues to be Fair and Balance or may be just slightly tilted for now?
Just a thought.

Ashley Madison the dating site for married people seeking affairs is riddled with fake profiles for women that encourage men to spend more money subscribing to the site.
The suit dovetails with longtime rumors that have swirled around the site that many of the female profiles on it are fake. The company says the suit is frivolous and provided Business Insider with photographs of the plaintiff to back up its statement that her suit is without merit.

Doriana Silva of Toronto alleges she was hired to write Portuguese-language profiles for the Brazilian version of the site. She was paid $34,000 plus benefits.

Her job consisted of creating 1,000 “fake female profiles”, to make men think there were more women willing to cheat than actually existed.
“To entice paying heterosexual male members to join and spend money on the website,” the suit says,

Rather, Silva claims that all the typing hurt her wrists and that therefore the company should compensate her for her injuries.

A North Carolina man has filed a lawsuit accusing the notorious affairs website of breaking up his 13-year marriage. The lawsuit, names the infidelity website, and his ex-wife's lover.

Can't find a decent person to cheat with now a days.!!!    Just a thought.

The number of Americans dying of heart disease increased last year for the first time in more than a decade.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in America, responsible for about 1 in every 4 deaths. New data released by the National Center for Health Statistics shows it took more than 633,000 lives in 2015.  Contributors to increased mortality include stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and kidney disease. 

What we've done before is that we identify the disease once it exists and do our best to treat it. But the brave new world is to identify the disease you might get before you get it.
Decades of research has shown that eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco products and using medication to control blood pressure and cholesterol can drastically reduce the risk of heart disease. Heart disease costs the United States about $207 billion each year
One in three Americans has high blood pressure. Controlling blood pressure more intensely than previously recommended can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

Forrest Hayes is a 51-year-old who was on the Google team involved with the high-profile rollout and production of its cutting-edge Glass eyewear. 

He will be remembered above all as a loving husband and father. More than anything else he enjoyed spending time with his family at home and on his boat. He is survived by his wife of 17 years and his five children.


"His brilliant mind, contagious smile and warm embrace will be missed and cherished in memories by his friends and family.

A high-priced prostitute [26 years old] injected the married executive with a fatal dose of heroin before callously stepping over his dying body to finish her glass of wine, police have revealed. All caught on his yacht's camera.

Too bad that all the hard work, and successes ended as such, associated with this last off step.
Just a thought.
