Bible

Fox (Heb. shu'al, a name derived from its digging or burrowing under ground), the Vulpes thaleb, or Syrian fox, the only species of this animal indigenous to Palestine. It burrows, is silent and solitary in its habits, is destructive to vineyards, being a plunderer of ripe grapes (Cant. 2:15). The Vulpes Niloticus, or Egyptian dog-fox, and the Vulpes vulgaris, or common fox, are also found in Palestine. The proverbial cunning of the fox is alluded to in Ezek. 13:4, and in Luke 13:32, where our Lord calls Herod "that fox." In Judg. 15:4, 5, the reference is in all probability to the jackal. The Hebrew word _shu'al_ through the Persian _schagal_ becomes our jackal (Canis aureus), so that the word may bear that signification here. The reasons for preferring the rendering "jackal" are (1) that it is more easily caught than the fox; (2) that the fox is shy and suspicious, and flies mankind, while the jackal does not; and (3) that foxes are difficult, jackals comparatively easy, to treat in the way here described. Jackals hunt in large numbers, and are still very numerous in Southern Palestine. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: 20th Century Fox

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Twentieth (20th) Century Fox is shorthand for Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation which is an American film studio located in the Century City area just west of Beverly Hills, California. The studio is presently a subsidiary of News Corporation, the Australian media conglomerate owned by Rupert Murdoch.

On July 23, 1926, Fox Film bought the patents of the Movietone sound system for recording sound on to film.

Founder William Fox was forced out of Fox Film, and new leadership under president Sidney Kent in 1935 merged with Twentieth Century Pictures (formed 1933 when producer Darryl F. Zanuck left Warner Brothers to produce under Joseph Schenck, former head of United Artists and brother of Nicholas Schenck.)

The hyphen was dropped from the studio's name in 1985.

The studio's notable films include:

1930s

1940s

1950s

The famous Fox Fanfare by Alfred Newman first accompanied the Fox logo in 1951. The longer version was originally used only on Cinemascope productions.

1960s

1970s

1980s

1990s

2000s

Despite suggestions that the studio should change its name to Twenty-first Century Fox it did not do so.

Twentieth Century Fox is also the punning title of a song by The Doors on their self-titled debut album (1967), referring to a foxy lady.

Charles James Fox

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Charles James Fox (January 24, 1749 - September 13, 1806) was an English politician.

He was the third son of Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland, one of the older generation self-aggrandizing Whigs. His mother was Lady Caroline Lennox, daughter of the Duke of Richmond. Fox was educated at Eton and Hertford College, Oxford. He was over indulged by his father and quickly entered into an extravagant and dissolute lifestyle, in 1774 he was £140,000 in debt. Fox became MP for Midhurst in 1768, although he was legally too young. He supported Grafton and his attacks on the radical John Wilkes. Fox was made a junior lord of the Admiralty by North in 1770, he resigned in January 1772 in order to vote against the Royal Marriage Act but was reappointed to a government post at the Treasury in December but was finally dismissed by North in February 1774, following pressure from George III.

Out of government Fox became more radical, progressing from his friendship of Edmund Burke to becoming a leader of the Rockinghamite Whigs. Fox won the seat of Westminster in 1781 and showed his support for Parliamentary reform. When Rockingham became Prime Minister in 1782 Fox was made the first foreign secretary. When Rockingham died (July 1, 1782) Fox unwisely resigned over the appointment of Shelburne as Prime Minister. In February 1783 Fox formed an alliance of convenience with North to regain power.

Fox and North came to power in April 1783 over the king's resistance, although Portland actually headed the government the two men were both secretaries of state. The ambitions of both Fox and North were blunted by the active efforts of the king and they angered him further with their open support of the Prince Regent. They were both driven from office by the efforts of the king's supporters following the failure of Fox's East India Bill in December. The March 1784 election was a sad defeat for the opposition although Fox was re-elected.

He remained a force in the Whigs and his support of the French Revolution (1789) led to a split in the Whigs between the supporters of the revolution and the others who joined William Pitt the Younger, leaving the opposition as no more than sixty MPs. Fox had become convinced that the king and the establishment were more of a threat to the constitution than 'radical' politics and protested against the curtailment of liberties associated with the war against France. In 1792 Fox saw through the only piece of substantial legislation in his career, the Libel Act, which restored to juries the right to decide what was libel and whether a defendant was guilty. Fox married his mistress, Elizabeth Armistread, in 1795 but did not make this fact public until 1802.

Fox and much of the opposition deliberately withdrew from political life from 1797. He returned following the Treaty of Amiens and having assisted in the replacement of Henry Addington, when Pitt was succeeded by Grenville he was made foreign secretary in the "Ministry of all the Talents" and died in office. He was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Fox

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Foxes are small dog-like mammals in the Canidae family.


Red Fox
(Larger image)

It includes the genus Vulpes and several others. V. vulpes is the world-wide Red Fox, often taken to be the fox.

Foxes are not pack-hunting animals, but are solitary hunters that encroach on each others' territories usually only during the mating season.

Foxes include members of the following genera:

The term fox does not include dogs, wolves, coyotes and jackals who are members of the genus Canis.

The red fox most commonly has red fur on its back and sides with white on the underside. However, it can also have black fur on its underside instead of white, or silver/grey fur on its back. These color variations can even happen within a single litter.


Red Fox, colour variation
(Larger image)

In some countries foxes are a serious pest. In Australia, for example, feral Red Foxes are probably the single most harmful invasive animal, being responsible for more extinctions than even cats and rabbits. Ironically, certain varieties of fox in other parts of the world are an endangered species.

In Western culture, the fox is a familiar animal of folklore for cunning. The species is also a popular animal for furry characters.

In Japanese culture, the kitsune (Japanese for fox) is a powerful form of animal spirit that is highly mischevious and cunning.

Fox McCloud

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Fox McCloud is a fictional character from the Star Fox universe. He was created by Takaya Imamura. He is the head of the mercenary Star Fox team, summoned by General Pepper. He is the son of James McCloud, founder of the Star Fox team. His father was captured by his arch nemesis Andross. Peppy Hare returned to Corneria inform him about his father's destiny. He is a like a second father to Fox. Fox was 18 years old at the time of Star Fox 64. Wolf O'Donnell of the Star Wolf team is his utter rival. Fox invited his close friends Falco Lombardi and Slippy Toad to join the Star Fox team. When the Star Fox team arrived to Venom, where Andross is, the Star Wolf team would not allow them to enter to get to Andross without a fight. Fox McCloud brought his father's traitor Pigma Dengar to justice. After the victory against Star Wolf team, Fox entered Andross's chamber alone while his wingmen Peppy, Slippy, and Falco waited. After Fox defeated Andross in Star Fox 64, the Star Fox team docked back to the Great Fox and arrived back to Corneria and talked with General Pepper, then they went home.

Eight years later, Fox McCloud heard a rumor that boredom separated Falco Lombardi from the Star Fox team, and then General Pepper reported a conflict on Dinosaur Planet, an ancient world on the opposite corner of the Lylat System. He piloted his Arwing to ThornTail Hollow, Dinosaur Planet. At ThornTail hollow, he received communicators from General Pepper, enabling him to communicate with General Pepper, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad. The habitats of Dinosaur Planet speak a fictitious language called Dino. Slippy developed a translator so that that Fox could understand Dino. Then he talked with the ThornTail tribe, and picked up Krystal's Staff. As the name implies, the staff belongs to Krystal, Fox's damsel distress, who dropped it from above Krazoa Palace at the beginning of Star Fox Adventures. While Fox was on Dinosaur Planet, Slippy airdropped a High-Definition Display Device. Fox had to purchase it, because Shabunga Shopkeeper got it first. In order to free Krystal and save Dinosaur Planet, Fox had to return the SpellStones to their rightful position and finish what Krystal started. Shortly after he freed Krystal, the staff returned to her hands. Then Andross awakened. Fox went to his Arwing and defeated Andross once again with the help of Falco Lombardi. After that, he returned to Great Fox, and General Pepper paid him as Dinosaur Planet was saved. Falco Lombardi entered the Great Fox and rejoined the Star Fox team. Then Peppy Hare showed Fox a message from Krystal. Shortly thereafter, Krystal entered the Great Fox and said "That's to say thank you." Therefore, she appreciated what Fox did for her. Then she united herself with Fox, and the story of Star Fox Adventures ends. Immediately afterwards, the Star Fox team used the money that Fox received for saving Dinosaur Planet to finance to repair the Great Fox.

Fox Network

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Fox Broadcasting Company is a television network in the United States. It is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

It was launched in 1986, a year after News Corporation purchased TFC holdings, the parent company of the 20th Century Fox movie studio. The seed FOX stations were a chain of television stations purchased by News Corp. from John Kluge and his Metromedia Inc. in mid-1986.

Metromedia's television stations in turn derived from the stations owned by the long-defunct DuMont television network.

The network did not have a signifigant market share until the 1990s when News Corp. bought more TV station groups, including New World Communications, Chris-Craft Industries, BHC Communications and United Television, making it the largest owner of television stations in the country.

The Fox network is home to the longest-running animated series in history, The Simpsons. It is also credited with launching the careers of such Hollywood stars as Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller and David Duchovny.

FOX News

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The FOX News Channel is a 24-hour news channel launched in 1996 on United States cable and satellite networks as well as in syndication. It is available to 80 million subscribers in the U.S. and broadcasts primarily out of its studios in New York City.

History

Launched on October 7, 1996 to 17 million cable subscribers, the nascent network quickly rose to prominence in the late 1990s as it started taking market share away from the Cable News Network (CNN). It has since surpassed CNN to become the number one news channel in the United States. FOX News Channel asserts that it is less biased and more factual than other American networks, using promotional statements such as "fair and balanced", "we report, you decide". Their commentators argue that other news channels are dominated by a liberal bias. Many liberals and rival media organisations accuse FOX News of having a conservative bias and of pushing agendas rather than reporting the news in a neutral manner.

The FOX News Channel was launched just three months after MSNBC went on the air. Even though they began broadcasting around the same time, FOX News has attracted a large and growing viewership, while MSNBC remains mired in a distant third place among the three U.S. cable news channels.

Like the rest of FOX, it is owned by Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. It is a sister channel to Sky News, which is based in the United Kingdom.

The CEO, Chairman, and President of FOX News is Roger Ailes, formerly a political strategist for Presidents Nixon and Reagan. Previously, Ailes ran the CNBC network for the NBC network and produced campaign TV commercials for Republican political candidates. His work for former President Richard M. Nixon was chronicled in the book The Selling of the President: 1968 by Joe McGinniss.

Daytime anchor David Asman previously worked at the conservative The Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Manhattan Institute, a conservative thinktank. Sunday host Tony Snow is a conservative columnist and former chief speechwriter for the first Bush administration. Managing editor Brit Hume is a contributor to the conservative American Spectator and Weekly Standard. Talkshow host Bill O'Reilly was a columnist at the conservative WorldNetDaily.com and was a registered Republican.

FOX News on Television

Every hour from 9AM to 3PM Eastern Time, the FOX News Channel broadcasts Fox News Live providing a wide-ranging assortment of hard news, guest analysts, and interviews. In primetime, the network presents a slew of personality-driven news-talk shows such as Special Report With Brit Hume, hosted by political reporter Brit Hume from Washington, D.C. The network bills The Fox Report With Shepard Smith as the signature evening newscast, offering various reports on the day's events hosted by Shepard Smith. The network's top-rated show is The O'Reilly Factor, hosted by the opinionated journalist Bill O'Reilly who has declared his show a "no spin zone." In addition, conservative Sean Hannity and moderate-to-liberal Alan Colmes, both radio talk show hosts, debate political issues of the day on Hannity & Colmes.

The network syndicates Fox News Sunday hosted by Tony Snow to Fox Network affiliates across the United States. From time to time, FOX News also produces a newsmagazine show for its Fox affiliates called The Pulse.

The channel is now available internationally, but unlike CNN's international service it tends to concentrate on domestic issues which might be seen as less newsworthy outside North America.

Criticism

The channel has come under heavy criticism for claiming to be "fair and balanced" and announcing "we report, you decide" while allegedly putting a conservative slant on news. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a left-leaning media watchdog group, put together a report, Fox: The Most Biased Name in News, that lays out the evidence of this purported bias:

Conservative news stories: The network sometimes dedicates whole segments and shows to conservative stories they feel have been downplayed. FOX News specials are hosted by conservatives. Reporters take time off to look for stories that are explicitly conservative or place liberals in a bad light. Many say management asks them to make stories more conservative. And FOX staff even apologize for running stories that make conservatives look bad.

Charlie Reina, a Fox News producer for six years, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times on November 1, 2003 as alleging that Fox News executives require the network's on-air anchors and reporters to cover news stories from a right-wing viewpoint:

"The roots of FNC's day-to-day on-air bias are actual and direct. They come in the form of an executive memo distributed electronically each morning, addressing what stories will be covered and, often, suggesting how they should be covered. To the newsroom personnel responsible for the channel's daytime programming, The Memo is the bible.

"Virtually no one of authority in the newsroom makes a move unmeasured against management's politics, actual or perceived. At the Fair and Balanced network, everyone knows management's point of view, and, in case they're not sure how to get it on air, The Memo is there to remind them."

A Fox spokesman called Reins' remarks the "rantings of a disgruntled former employee."

Fox and their supporters, however, contend that what left-leaning observers like FAIR perceive as a conservative bias is, in fact, lack of a liberal bias. Pointing to items such as this 1997 American Society of Newspaper Editors' survey [1] in which 61 percent of journalists responding identified themselves as "Liberal/Democrat (or) leaning that way", and the book Bias by former CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg, they claim that a left-wing prejudice permeates the so-called 'mainstream' media. Consequently, they say, Fox is perceived as being 'right of center' only because they are not 'left of center'.

A small controversy eruped between Newscorp's two most important franchises, "The Simpsons" and Fox News. On an NPR radio program, Fresh Air, the creator of "The Simpsons," Matt Groening said that Fox News threatened to sue him because of a parody of Fox News on one of their episodes. Fox News claimed they never threatened a law suit, and Groening later retracted the stament. Still, many wonder what the actual truth is.

Since ascribing any type of bias, whether left or right, is a somewhat subjective act, it is unlikely that this issue can effectively be proven one way or the other. As such, the only media outlets that can positively be called 'liberal' or 'conservative' are those which choose to identify themselves as such.

Vicente Fox

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)


Vicente Fox
President of Mexico
Term of Office:1 December 2000 - 2006
Preceded by:Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León
Succeeded by:incumbent
Date of Birth:2 July 1942
Place of Birth:Mexico City
Date of Death:
Place of Death:
First Lady:Marta Sahagún
Occupation:
Political Party:Partido Acción Nacional

Vicente Fox Quesada (born July 2, 1942) was elected President of Mexico for the period 2000-2006, the first opposition party candididate to win this office in Mexico since 1929.

His election was historically significant because he is the first President elected from an opposition party since Francisco I. Madero in 1910.

Fox was born in Mexico City, and grew up on a farm in the state of Guanajuato. His education included the Universidad Iberoamericana and Harvard University.

After graduation he went to work for the Coca Cola Company, starting off as a route supervisor and driving a delivery truck. He rose in the company to become supervisor of Coca Cola's operations in Mexico, and then in all of Latin America.

Fox joined the PAN (National Action Party) party in the 1980s, and in 1988 was elected to congress representing León, Guanajuato. He ran for governor of Guanajuato in 1991, and many think he got the most votes, but the ruling PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) candidate was declared the winner in what a number of observers considered a dishonest fix by the PRI. In 1995 he won the governorship of his state by a wide margin and took office. His term as governor was noted for honesty and transparency of government, and the economy of Guanajuato flourished. Fox was nominated as the PAN party's presidential candidate for 2000 and won the election.

His PAN Party promotes free market economies and conservative values and policies (the party is normally associated with the Roman Catholic church).
