...Christine Lu, the digital strategy advisor for the national burger chain Fatburger, pushed stores to give secret menu deals to users who flash proof that they've checked in via Foursquare. "The challenge with any social-networking site is the single mom working in an office - what's in it for them?" Lu says. "If you can translate it into the mentality that this is saving you money, who wouldn't want...
...stakes couldn't be much higher. If you thought health care reform and climate change legislation were tough to get through with a 60-40 advantage in the Senate, the emerging electoral landscape pretty much guarantees that the Dems will lose their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and see their 41-seat majority in the House significantly narrowed.

We think. There was no open bar to help grease the proceedings...
...time college football teams are covered as closely as the White House by newspapers, radio, TV and all manner of websites - it would seem shocking that any coach would think he could get away with abusing a player. But coaches are more powerful than ever, with seemingly recession-proof salaries. According to a USA Today study, the average pay for major-college football coaches has risen 28% over the past two years, to $1.36 million. In 2007, 12 coaches made at least $2 million. Today, that number has more than doubled, to 25. According to the USA Today study, Leach...
