Hi, my name is Rosemary.
My purpose for this website is to let you know that you can learn to heal yourself of anything naturally; without painful surgery, dangerous drugs or expensive hospital stays.
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I spent eleven years confined to a wheelchair. Since there is no known cure for MS, doctors told me I would never walk or talk again. I sat in my wheelchair watching my weight balloon from 120 lbs, up to well over 300 lbs, until I "changed my mind".
I discovered "God's 8 Laws for Natural Healing". By correctly taking 8 simple measures, I am now walking (a mile every day), talking (even speaking publicly), and have lost weight (200 lbs). This is me "before" and "after".
I wrote a few small books about what I learned. You can find them under the "E-Books" tab at the top of this page. The same basics that caused me to shed weight also caused me to shed MS and walk again. These laws apply to all illness, not just MS.
The good news is that you can do it too!

Report: BART official earns $330K without working
Former GM resigned in May 2011, continued to get paid
Bay Area Rapid Transit's highest-paid employee last year earned more than $330,000 - even though she didn't work a single day for the public agency, according to a newspaper report.
Former BART general manager Dorothy Dugger resigned under pressure in May 2011, but stayed on the payroll for another 19 months, the Bay Area News Group reported Sunday.
Dugger, 57, cashed in nearly 80 weeks of unused vacation time, drawing paychecks and full benefits. During that period, she earned nearly two extra months of vacation, received management bonuses and medical insurance, and boosted her pension benefits by more than $1,000 a month for life. When she left BART's payroll in December, she began to draw an annual pension of $181,000, according to the newspaper.
Dugger said she was entitled to the money because she earned more than 3,100 hours of unused vacation time during two decades with the light-rail agency.
"It was time I earned my whole career at BART," she said. "It's a cost of having the option" to save the vacation until the end of a career, she said.
The value of her unused vacation days soared after she took the top job in 2007 and received a raise of nearly $100,000 a year because the unused time-off was paid at her final, highest pay rate - not her rate when the time was accrued, records show.
"She was still on the payroll? I did not know this. It's startling," said James Fang, a BART board member who tried to oust Dugger in 2011. "We have to look at this."
Some BART riders are also upset.
"I hope it becomes a big stink," said BART patron Mitch Roland, of Alameda. "This is an agency funded by taxpayers. ... They should have stricter controls."
The months of extra pay were on top of the $920,000 that BART paid Dugger to leave in May 2011 after the agency's board botched an effort to fire her by violating public meetings laws. She left amid mounting complaints about BART's service and cleanliness as well as her leadership.
Dugger told the newspaper she was proud of her time with BART. Asked if her lucrative use of vacation time exposed a fiscal flaw in the agency, she said, "I think BART's track record on fiscal management is quite solid."

Same rules apply to v14 as for previous. As many CUDA cores as possible, with lot of RAM. Simple as this.
There are only few laptops which are sort of Resolve friendly. Look at gaming machines with GTX 1080 cards. Overall laptop is not Resolve friendly machine.
Search forum as this has ben discussed many times- don't think v14 changes anything here.

Jessica Biel: Showing Off Justin Timberlake's Engagement Ring?
The bride-to-be wears a sparkler as she celebrates fiancé Justin Timberlake's SNL appearance
Jessica Biel flaunted a very special accessory while out celebrating in New York City Saturday night.
More than a month since news broke of her engagement to Justin Timberlake, the actress was spotted wearing what appeared to be her engagement ring – and getting cozy with her man – at a Saturday Night Live after-party.
This would mark the first time Biel went out in public with her sparkler – never mind a rare public display of affection for the couple who don't often step out together.
Biel, 29, and Timberlake, 31, "were very lovey all night and kissed a few times," a guest at the Ristorante Asellina party tells PEOPLE.
The couple, who started dating in 2007, celebrated Timberlake's appearance on SNL as Grammy-winning folk sensation Bon Iver with guests such as Evan Rachel Wood and rumored fiancé Jamie Bell, Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton, David Alan Grier, Seth Meyers, Chloë Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Kenan Thompson and the show's host and alum, Maya Rudolph.
Also spending time with the couple: former SNL star Amy Poehler and current cast mate Kristen Wiig, who, according to the source, "loved the ring and chatted [Biel] up about it."
A rep for Biel could not be reached for comment.

The measures proposed by the government for achieving these goals within the context of a fully liberalised energy market are various (pages 36-39). Taken together, however, they show a common concern with the integration of renewables into the wider system of energy provision in the Netherlands. Although in many cases the measures address problems peculiar to this particular densely populated corner of Europe, the Dutch might just be in the process of creating a blueprint for renewables which will be of wider use as the wind industry faces the challenges of the next century. Not only do the Dutch plans deal with how best to secure a market for wind, but they also outline ways of bringing down the many institutional barriers to development. Seldom, if ever, has such a well rounded national policy for wind been seen before.
Given the constraints on wind development in the Netherlands, a simple free market mechanism is not in itself going to secure the future of the sector, but neither, if they are to develop naturally, can wind and other renewables be hived off into some alternative ghetto hedged around with protective measures. Instead the government has adopted an integrated approach to energy policy which, while encouraging the development of a free market in all forms of energy trade, also attempts to level the playing field for renewables. If successful, it could shift wind from the periphery towards the centre of energy provision.
The proposed integration of wind energy into the social and economic life of the Netherlands takes various forms. The first problem to be tackled is that of making space for wind. Here the government has encouraged a series of initiatives aimed at increasing public tolerance of wind technology through clarifying issues such as the impact of turbines on bird life. Accepting that there is a finite amount of land available for wind development -- some 1000 MW installed capacity at current estimates -- the government has proposed a number of administrative measures, including reformed zoning regulations which will enable the optimal use of traditional sites.
In addition it is seeking to overcome the physical limitations on wind development by providing political and financial support for the investigation of non traditional, inland, near shore and offshore sites. Thus regulations on tower height are to be reformed in order to make the development of inland sites financially viable, while government agency NOVEM is conducting a feasibility study into the development of a 100 turbine 100 MW wind plant in the North Sea. If successful this project would provide electricity for 100,000 of the Netherlands' fifteen million people.
Allied to concern with the physical integration of wind technology, another series of measures is aimed at the integration of wind into the wider economy of energy provision. These measures are characterised by a pragmatically Dutch mix of free-market carrot and governmental stick. Subsidies to wind were cut in 1995 and replaced by a series of fiscal measures aimed at encouraging investment in renewables. Meanwhile the power companies have been told that come the free market a certain percentage of the electricity they sell must have been generated from renewable resources. To meet their targets they will be able to buy-in green power from independent producers in the Netherlands, or import it from abroad on a green electricity market.
The merits of tax breaks over direct subsidies for wind will continue to be hotly debated, but one consequence of the removal of subsidies is the emergence of green power marketing strategies whose full economic potential and cultural impact remains to be seen. Coupled with fiscal measures designed to close the remaining price gap between conventional fuels and renewables, green electricity schemes have revealed a surprising willingness on the part of Dutch consumers to part with their guilders for the good of the environment. As a consequence of the success such "green pricing" policy, some energy distribution companies are already profiling themselves as green utilities and beginning to market green power as a value added commodity, rather than looking at wind as a government imposed obligation.
With some 10,000 households signed up by mid 1996, green electricity schemes will not in themselves secure the future of wind in the Netherlands -- as an economic measure they do little to address the primary problem of physical constraints. However, culturally they may prove more important. In extending the option of clean energy to all consumers, the popular perception of wind power as an exotic alternative should be diminished. It is to be hoped that this would go hand in hand with a corresponding increase in levels of public support. An integrated wind sector can no longer be regarded as a rich man's toy with no relevance to the real energy needs of a modern industrialised country.

Why didn't J. Gresham Machen go to the Southern Presbyterian church instead of founding what became the OPC? Wouldn't the Southern Presbyterian church have welcomed Machen and his colleagues? Machen was, after all, Southern Presbyterian in background. By starting a new denomination Machen seems to have chosen a much more difficult road. From what I've read, the new denomination was plagued with division and conflict. Yet it somehow survived.
To begin with, although he had a Southern Presbyterian (PCUS) background he apparently had been a communicant member of that church only from 1896 (Stonehouse's J. Gresham Machen, p. 58) until he joined the Princeton Seminary faculty in 1906 and joined the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (PCUSA). He chose the quality of the training he would receive at the PCUSA's Princeton over that of the PCUS's Richmond Seminary. And certainly he was joining the preeminent theological faculty in the United States and the preeminent conservative one in the world. From then on his work involved him wholly in the life and work of Princeton and its church.
By the time the conservative-Reformed/liberal conflict reached its crisis at the 1936 General Assembly in Syracuse, N.Y., he had been absorbed by the contrasting early and late history of the PCUSA. He had seen its great heritage and had mourned and resisted its loss as liberals in the 1920s challenged the General Assembly's affirming basic doctrines of the gospel. A group of over 1,300 of its ministers adopted the "Auburn Affirmation" which denied the need for ministers to believe and preach such doctrines required by the church's constitution. The General Assembly reorganized Princeton Seminary so as to make it more "representative" of the increasingly liberal character of the church. The boards and agencies of the church continued to pour out blatant heresy through their ministries, and Presbyteries began to require support of those agencies for ordination. Machen was personally involved through those 30 years and was committed to restoring its former glory if in any way possible. Later, when that goal had proved unattainable he spoke of the new church's goal as being, in these precise words, "the true spiritual successor" of the PCUSA. Finally, those who stood with Machen in the conflict would have been, without any doubt, entirely northern Presbyterians (PCUSA), and they would have felt no inherent pull toward the PCUS which would have led to them pushing Machen to go in that direction. Nothing was being done that was having any effect on restoring the witness of this formerly great church—his church for the past two-thirds of his life—back to its roots! His "successor" aims would have been lost in a merger with some other church.
By 1936, then, the PCUS was far away. But further, both a general evangelicalism and liberalism had begun to worm their way into that historically Reformed church and it would not have been an entirely desirable home for Machen himself nor for those who stood with him, having just come through a draining and discouraging decade and more. This however, is not to say that the topic of joining the PCUS did not come up in private conversations. I am not aware that Machen was involved in any of these, but in the Westminster student body it was mildly suggested from time to time, never zealously discussed, to my knowledge. Of this I am certain: no such move was proposed in any official way anywhere that I know of. It may be of interest to you that similar thoughts were expressed here and there about uniting with the Christian Reformed Church and the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America ("Covenanters") with similar results.
Yes, a more difficult road was chosen. I am convinced nevertheless, and now more than ever, only a few months short of 75 years since the church's June 1936 founding, that this was his—and his associates'—only road. Only by means of a new church could a true spiritual succession to the PCUSA's Reformed heritage be established. See what has happened since then in some churches we might have considered joining.
I think the OPC is still a Reformed church and that we are striving to be a better one, and I doubt if we could be saying that under other options then before us. Let me add that personally, I am not opposed to church unions as such if God's providence lays a biblical possibility before us, i.e., agreement on doctrine and practice. I believe in the unity of the church, that Christ's body is one. As with Machen, the deciding factor must be adherence to the Word of God regardless of the difficulties that adherence may entail.
That leads me to comment on your observation that the OPC was "plagued with divisions and conflict. Yet it somehow survived." Yes, we did have various problems. But I cannot call them plaguesdifficulties, disturbances in the church, yes. But rather, they were means of ultimately bringing about a united witness to the truth on the matters under contention, and that has been seen and followed by churches and individuals around the world in spite of our small size. In other words, our conflicts, just as in the ancient church, not only enabled us to survive at that time but also strengthened our future as a Reformed church. Again, It was because of them, not in spite of them, that I say we took the right road; they have served the OPC as the conflicts and divisions of the ancient church served it and today's church millennia later.
Those conflicts (resolved by Nicea, Chalcedon, etc.) served as a form of official church discipline, most of them long, labored, and disturbing, brought out the truth, and when many were won to that truth those who were not won over either left the church or were judged as heretics and excised from the church in one way or another. They were essential to the church's place as "the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Tim. 3:15). So, although those heresies may have crept back in, and others added over hundreds of years, there was a great body of God's people ready to start all over again at the Protestant Reformation, and we seek to do that for Presbyterians with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Those conflicts, in short, served, in God's grace, as purifiers. Now it has been our duty over the last 75 years to try also to discern and maintain all the truth and nothing more nor less than the truth of God's revealed Word, as it is the responsibility of the generations that follow. Not to boast that we have filled that responsibility; only to say that we have tried, and even that not as we ought. Lord, help us!
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Winsted's interim finance chief warns selectmen: Town will overspend its 2012-13 budget
WINSTED >> Interim town finance director Jane Wall bore numbers and bad news for the Board of Selectmen at their Monday night meeting.
Wall presented the board with updated expenses and her projections for the rest of the 2012-13 fiscal year, and according to her figures, the town will likely spend up to, if not over, its budget. Those spending projections fell just short of the total budgeted amount, but Wall said that unknown expenses will tip them over the scale.
"This is not goodness to us," Wall said, "if you understand what I'm saying."
In the meantime, Winsted's longer-term cash crunch is accompanied by a short-term crisis. The second installment of the state Education Cost Sharing funds arrived on Feb. 1, delivering another $1.9 million to Winsted's coffers. As of Jan. 31, Winsted has spent $17 million out of its $30 million budget, including the school system. $11 million of that spending comes from the school system, which is offset by the $3.8 million in ECS funds that Winsted has received so far. Wall said that "in total, that seems like it's pretty good through January," including the ECS funds.
"One of the things that we're stymied with in our cash flow situation is that the only payment we had received in our ECS grant was for $1.955 million," said Wall.
ECS funding is back-loaded, as towns receive 25 percent of the funds early in the fiscal year, 25 percent on Feb. 1 and the rest in May. The cash bomb will help later in the fiscal year, but in the meantime, Wall said that Winsted will feel the pinch.
"It's not a good situation," said Wall, "because we should have enough cash on hand to meet our 60-day payables, but we don't."
As a result, Wall said, some budgeted projects will not be completed to help pay for not only the known expenses, but also projects such as Main Street's streetscape improvements -- if they start within the fiscal year -- and other surprises later in the year. Winsted will receive 80 percent reimbursements from Connecticut for the streetscape improvements, but the town has to spend the money before it can be repaid.
"There are a couple of things that will not be happening this year," said Wall.
These abandoned projects include the recreation fields, at a cost of $190,000, as well as a wide-ranging revision of Winsted's zoning regulations and neighborhood stabilization initiatives. The regulations were bandied about during budget negotiations, but by opting to not perform the review, Winsted will save $20,000. In all, Wall said, the town will not undertake $230,000 worth of projects that had been in the budget.
Some of these projects were inserted in advance of a much tighter budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year. The newly-adjusted property values will kick in for the 2013-14 budget cycle, putting the squeeze on Winsted if the town is to go forward with a flat budget once again.
"The mill rate will have to increase by a minimum of six mills," Wall warned.
Wall, who expected to depart in March, may be asked to stay on through town manager Dale Martin's presentation of the proposed 2013-14 budget. While she is in office, though, Wall is working to help improve transparency in the town's finance office. Wall has posted financial reports up to 2010 -- the last year of availability -- on the office's website, and was praised by Marsha Sterling, who ran for the Board of Selectmen in 2011, for the move.
During her remarks, Wall also took a moment to dispel the rumor that Winchester Public Schools had blown a $1.2 million hole in the 2012-13 budget due to unpaid bills. These bills hit near the end of the 2011-12 fiscal year, and as such, Wall said, the spending is considered to be part of the 2011-12 budget. Specifically, Wall remarked that "this is not a budgetary matter."
"it's not a good thing to have this," Wall said, "but we don't have to feel like we're using last year's money. The cash comes in when the cash comes in, but in terms of accounting, the revenue and expenses are recognized for the period when they are accounted for."

|Who votes? Any user? Some professional? Users who have submitted videos already? What about mutliple accounts to bomb up or down some videos? etc.
|Thomas, the winner will be decided by a panel of judges, not by user votes. One of the reasons for this is to avoid the potential issues you're referring to.
|OK, thanks for having clarified.
|what about the music? Do you need to hold the rights to the soundtrack as well?
|Obviously not, lots of people on youtube use tracks they don't own.

The Grey's Anatomy newbies haven't done an interview...until now. Seattle Grace's interns get an episode told from their point of view on December 6, then three of them (Shane, Jo and Stephanie) attend Dr. Bailey's wedding on December 13. "We see the interns pairing up with the doctors [and] romantic stuff happens," teases Gaius Charles (Shane). The rookies share some scoop.
Heather (Tina Majorino, 27)
Alex's one-night stand is put on Meredith's service and gets caught in the middle of a fight between Meredith and Derek, which sparks memories of her broken home. "Meredith asks Heather to do some research on a procedure to help Derek's hand," says the Big Love alum. "It blows up, and Derek ends up screaming at Meredith and Heather."
Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton, age not disclosed)
The doc is dubbed "Grumpy" by Cristina, then at Bailey's wedding can barely form a sentence in the presence of her secret crush (Alex? Derek? Jackson?). Expect them to share an intimate encounter. Says Hinton, "It's definitely charged."
Shane (Charles, 29)
He's assigned to April and gets lectured on the questionable bedside manner he exhibits when he extracts a growth from a woman's private parts. "It's gross and humiliating, but some good comes out of it," Charles says. "Shane and April form a friendship."
Jo (Camilla Luddington, 28)
She's put on Alex's team "and cannot stand him," says Luddington, who, along with Charles, observed a real open-heart surgery. "Alex gets under her skin as no one else has done and calls her 'Princess.'" Luddington won't confirm, but don't be surprised if Jo ends up being Alex's "person."
Leah (Tessa Ferrer, 26)
Leah is pitted against Steph when both are assigned to Cristina and must monitor a set of babies. "It gets out of control and puts our jobs in jeopardy," teases Ferrer. Then we'll see the extent of Leah's heartbreak from getting screwed over by Alex (yes, he hooked up with her, too): "She's really pining after him."

Col. Young Playground
The Daily Plant : Tuesday, August 3, 2004
Careening down slides and swinging toward blue skies are always childhood favorites. Eight-year-old camper Janay Wilkinson agrees but prefers the monkey bars for her daily exercise regimen. "I like the monkey bars because they give you strength," she said boisterously. "They are the best to play on."
A frequent visitor and aficionado of Colonel Charles Young Playground, Janay was among the more than 50 campers from Hansborough and Jackie Robinson Recreation Centers who joined Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe, Council Member Bill Perkins, Parks Committee Chair of Community Board 10 Haja Worley, and Parks & Recreation Manhattan Borough Commissioner Bill Castro to celebrate the refurbishing of the playground on Tuesday, July 27. A popular recreational ground in Harlem, the playground received a $606,700 makeover with funds allocated by the Mayor's Office.
"This old park was, literally, everything it was cracked up to be," remarked Commissioner Benepe. "The new, colorful play equipment and re-paved surface have given this playground a whole new look."
Bright blue, green, and yellow playground equipment adorn the area, now home to two new play apparatuses for toddlers, a large structure for children, and several new pieces of exercise equipment. The area surrounding the playground received a special boost with the installment of soft, safety surfacing for children to skip, hop, and jump on. Additional improvements include a garden, restored water service to the area, and freshly sodded grass on the northern ballfield.
"It may be called Colonel Charles Young Playground, but it is your park," remarked Council Member Perkins to the campers. "Anytime you walk in here, remember that it has been refurbished for you, and you need to take care of it."
Named for Colonel Charles Young, the playground is one of two Harlem parks to honor the distinguished army officer, cartographer, teacher, and diplomat who opened the door for African Americans to enter fields that were formerly closed to them. Colonel Young was the third African American to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1889. He traversed the globe, visiting Haiti, Liberia, and Mexico, and established a school for African American soldiers at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Colonel Young passed away on January 8, 1922, and his home, previously a way station on the Underground Railroad, is scheduled to become the future site of the National Museum of African American Military History.
The City acquired the property in 1944 and opened the playground to the public in September of that year. The playground is located across the street from the 369th Core Support Battalion Armory, home to the "Harlem Hellfighters," who were active in both World Wars, and the Korean, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Iraq Wars. Myriad programs, such as the annual visit of the World Champion Black Rodeo, are held on the playground's ballfields.
The new playground was designed by Bradley Romaker, and the chief contractor was UA Construction/TA Pyramid. The project manager for the upgrade was Vijittri Marbumrung.

Goldbugs are nervous, and rightly so. Their beloved metal—the "currency of last resort"—has been acting more like a basket case than a bastion of safety. During the second quarter, gold fell in value right alongside global stocks (AWCI) and the euro (FXE). What's going on?
Even commodities permabull Jim Rogers admitted to the Business Insider that gold could fall 40 to 50% in value if India ceased gold imports or if Europeans began liquidating their holdings.
The early warning signs behind gold's fall beneath key trading levels have been months in the making. Gold flirted with falling 20% from its peak multiple times during the second quarter and has already forfeited the gains from its strong start earlier in the year.
In the three months up through the May 24 market close, the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) lost 12.09% in value. From a technical perspective, GLD is trading below both its 50 ($158.57) and 200 ($164.63) simple day moving averages, which means the trend is still down.
The ETFS Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares (GLTR), which is a broader measure of the precious metals group and includes gold, silver, platinum and palladium in one package, was down 15.76% over the same period.
"While gold is a safe haven in general, this is not true during a credit crisis," said Daryl Montgomery, author of Inflation Investing: a Guide for the 2010s. "When the financial system is severely stressed, it is difficult to sell paper assets. Banks and hedge funds instead lease gold from central banks for a small sum and then sell it on the open market. This provides them with some quick cash that they desperately need and is what causes gold to drop when it seems like it should be going up."
Could 2012 turn out to be the first time in 11 long years that gold has a loss?
For more than a decade, gold performed well despite the 9/11 attack, the bursting of the dotcom and housing bubbles and the 2008-09 financial crisis. But past performance, as investors keep forgetting, is not prologue for the future.
It's been a long time since gold has had a major correction and those corrections have tended to be infrequent. From 1999 to 2011, gold experienced three declines greater than 20%, but snapped back each time. But this time around might be different.
Huge budget deficits, bankrupt governments and political instability aren't necessarily a slam dunk for gold investors, as 2012 is already proving.
Interestingly, the Dollar Index—also known by goldbugs as the Grande Fiat of Fiats—rose on consecutive days during May, posting its longest winning streak since 1973.
The median estimate of 11 analysts tracked by Bloomberg project gold to average $1,740 per ounce in 2012 compared to its current trading range of $1,500.
ABN Amro cut its forecast on gold from $1,600 in January to $1,550 in May. Barclays reduced its outlook by 8% to $1,716 and RBS cut its forecast by $25 to $1,725.
Falling estimates for gold haven't dissuaded large hedge funds from staying in accumulation mode.
John Paulson, who made a fortune in 2007 betting against the U.S. subprime mortgage market, said to clients that gold is the best protection against currency debasement and a good long-term bet against rising inflation and a euro breakup. Paulson also added that gold mining stocks are historically inexpensive. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has fallen 20.93% over the past year.
Another gold bull has been billionaire investor George Soros, who increased his stake in GLD during the first quarter.
Demand for gold grew 16% over the past 12 months to 1,098 tonnes, or metric tons, according to the World Gold Council's Q1 2012 Gold Demands Trend Report. Globally speaking, that translates into a tidy sum of $59.7 billion in gold.
Also, central banks are buying bullion at the fastest pace in five decades, adding 439.7 tonnes in 2011.
In the consumer market, gold has long relied on India for consumer buying, but the threat of bans on imported gold could stop that. Also, India's gold market got jolted with a national strike by jewelers protesting an excise tax on gold.
China figures to become a bigger player in the gold market, despite its sagging stock market and property bubble. Jewelry demand in China now makes it the largest jewelry market for the third consecutive quarter. Altogether, China increased its gold holdings in Q1 to a record 98.6 tonnes, up 13% from Q1 2011.
Europe's sovereign debt crisis adds another monkey wrench into the gold demand/price equation. Will Europeans start liquidating their gold to raise cash? How would worldwide gold prices be impacted by panic selling?
Looking Ahead
For gold traders, being short has been the right move thus far in 2012. Inverse ETFs like the ProShares UltraShort Gold (GLL) have spiked more than 25 percent over the past three months. If gold continues to slide, funds like GLL will likely have more gains ahead. GLL aims for two times the daily opposite performance of gold.
Keep an eye on the Federal Reserve. More monetary stimulus from the Fed could reverse gold's recent weakness. Would gold react to further quantitative easing with a price hike?
Financial advisors with clients holding positions in gold ETFs can smartly hedge those positions with defensive put options or by writing covered calls. This is one big advantage of investing in gold ETFs that can't be obtained by investing in gold related mutual funds.
While gold has recorded an impressive 11 consecutive years of gains, at some point, the streak must end. If there's any time gold should be shining, it's during turbulent economic and political times like this. And given that gold's recent performance has been spotty, this year looks like it might be the first in many, where gold does the unthinkable by posting a loss.

Karl Christian Rove (born December 25, 1950) is an American Republican political consultant and policy advisor.[1] He was Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff during the George W. Bush administration until Rove's resignation on August 31, 2007. He has also headed the Office of Political Affairs, the Office of Public Liaison, and the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives. Since leaving the White House, Rove has worked as a political analyst and contributor for Fox News, Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal.
Prior to his White House appointments, he is credited with the 1994 and 1998 Texas gubernatorial victories of George W. Bush, as well as Bush's 2000 and 2004 successful presidential campaigns. In his 2004 victory speech Bush referred to Rove as "the Architect". Rove has also been credited for the successful campaigns of John Ashcroft (1994 U.S. Senate election), Bill Clements (1986 Texas gubernatorial election), Senator John Cornyn (2002 U.S. Senate election), Governor Rick Perry (1990 Texas Agriculture Commission election), and Phil Gramm (1982 U.S. House and 1984 U.S. Senate elections).
Early years
Family, upbringing, early education
Karl Rove was born in Denver, Colorado, the second of five children, and was raised in Sparks, Nevada. His biological father left the family when Rove and his older brother were children. His mother, Reba Louise (née Wood), was a gift shop manager, and his mother's second husband, Louis Claude Rove, Jr. (1928–2004), who adopted him[2] and whom Rove knew as his father, was a geologist.[3]
In 1965, his family moved to Salt Lake City, where Rove entered high school, becoming a skilled debater.[4] Rove described his high school years as "I was the complete nerd. I had the briefcase. I had the pocket protector. I wore Hush Puppies when they were not cool. I was the thin, scrawny little guy. I was definitely uncool." Encouraged by a teacher to run for class senate, Rove won the election. As part of his campaign strategy he rode in the back of a convertible inside the school gymnasium sitting between two attractive girls before his election speech.[5] While at Olympus High School,[6] he was elected student council president his junior and senior years. Rove was also a Teenage Republican and served as Chairman of the Utah Federation of Teenage Republicans.
Entry into politics
Rove began his involvement in American politics in 1968. In a 2002 Deseret News interview, Rove explained, "I was the Olympus High chairman for (former United States Senator) Wallace F. Bennett's re-election campaign, where he was opposed by the dynamic, young, aggressive political science professor at the University of Utah, J.D. Williams."[7] Bennett was reelected to a third six-year term in November 1968. Through Rove's campaign involvement, Bennett's son, Bob Bennett—a future United States Senator from Utah—would become a friend. Williams would later become a mentor to Rove.
In December 1969, the man Rove had known as his father left the family, and divorced Rove's mother soon afterwards.[8][9] After his parents' divorce, Rove learned from his aunt and uncle that the man who had raised him was not his biological father; both he and his older brother Eric were the children of another man. Rove has expressed great love and admiration for his adoptive father and for "how selfless" his love had been.[10] On September 11, 1981, Rove's mother committed suicide in Reno, Nevada.[11]
College and the Dixon campaign incident
In the fall of 1969, Rove entered the University of Utah, on a $1,000 scholarship,[12] as a political science major and joined the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Through the University's Hinckley Institute of Politics, he got an internship with the Utah Republican Party. That position, and contacts from the 1968 Bennett campaign, helped him land a job in 1970 on Ralph Tyler Smith's unsuccessful re-election campaign for Senate from Illinois against Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson III.
In the fall of 1970, Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Treasurer of Illinois. He stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead, printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing", and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon's rally. (Dixon eventually won the election.) Rove's role would not become publicly known until August 1973 when Rove told the Dallas Morning News. In 1999 he said, "It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it."[13] In his memoir, Rove wrote that when he was later nominated to the Board for International Broadcasting by President George H.W. Bush, Senator Dixon did not kill his nomination. In Rove's account, "Dixon displayed more grace than I had shown and kindly excused this youthful prank."[14]
College Republicans, Watergate, and the Bushes
In June 1971, after the end of the semester, Rove dropped out of the University of Utah to take a paid position as the Executive Director of the College Republican National Committee.[15] Joe Abate, who was National Chairman of the College Republicans at the time, became his mentor.[10] Rove then enrolled at the University of Maryland in College Park in the Fall of 1971, but withdrew from classes during the first half of the semester.[16]
Rove traveled extensively, participating as an instructor at weekend seminars for campus conservatives across the country. He was an active participant in Richard Nixon's 1972 Presidential campaign. A CBS report on the organization of the Nixon campaign from June 1972 includes an interview with a young Rove working for the College Republican National Committee.[17]
Rove held the position of executive director of the College Republicans until early 1973. He left the job to spend five months, without pay, campaigning full-time for the position of National Chairman during the time he attended George Mason University.[10] Lee Atwater, the group's Southern regional coordinator, who was two months younger than Rove, managed Rove's campaign. The two spent the spring of 1973 crisscrossing the country in a Ford Pinto, lining up the support of Republican state chairs.
The College Republicans summer 1973 convention at the Lake of the Ozarks resort in Missouri was quite contentious. Rove's opponent was Robert Edgeworth of Michigan. The other major candidate, Terry Dolan of California, dropped out, supporting Edgeworth. A number of states had sent two competing delegates, because Rove and his supporters had made credential challenges at state and regional conventions. For example, after the Midwest regional convention, Rove forces had produced a version of the Midwestern College Republicans constitution which differed significantly from the constitution that the Edgeworth forces were using, in order to justify the unseating of the Edgeworth delegates on procedural grounds,[10] including delegations, such as Ohio and Missouri, which had been certified earlier by Rove himself. In the end, there were two votes, conducted by two convention chairs, and two winners—Rove and Edgeworth, each of whom delivered an acceptance speech. After the convention, both Edgeworth and Rove appealed to Republican National Committee Chairman George H. W. Bush, each contending that he was the new College Republican chairman.
While resolution was pending, Dolan went (anonymously) to the Washington Post with recordings of several training seminars for young Republicans where a co-presenter of Rove's, Bernie Robinson, cautioned against doing the same thing he had done: rooting through opponents' garbage cans. The tape with this story on it, as well as Rove's admonition not to copy similar tricks as Rove's against Dixon, was secretly recorded and edited by Rich Evans, who had hoped to receive an appointment from Rove's competitor in the CRNC chairmanship race.[18] On August 10, 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal, the Post broke the story in an article titled "GOP Party Probes Official as Teacher of Tricks".[19]
In response, then RNC Chairman George H.W. Bush, had an FBI agent question Rove. As part of the investigation, Atwater signed an affidavit, dated August 13, 1973, stating that he had heard a "20 minute anecdote similar to the one described in the Washington Post" in July 1972, but that "it was a funny story during a coffee break".[20] Former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean, has been quoted as saying "based on my review of the files, it appears the Watergate prosecutors were interested in Rove's activities in 1972, but because they had bigger fish to fry they did not aggressively investigate him."[21]
On September 6, 1973, three weeks after announcing his intent to investigate the allegations against Rove, George H.W. Bush chose him to be chairman of the College Republicans. Bush then wrote Edgeworth a letter saying that he had concluded that Rove had fairly won the vote at the convention. Edgeworth wrote back, asking about the basis of that conclusion. Not long after that, Edgeworth stated "Bush sent me back the angriest letter I have ever received in my life. I had leaked to the Washington Post, and now I was out of the Party forever."
As National Chairman, Rove introduced Bush to Atwater, who had taken Rove's job as the College Republican's executive director, and who would become Bush's main campaign strategist in future years. Bush hired Rove as a Special Assistant in the Republican National Committee, a job Rove left in 1974 to become Executive Assistant to the co-chair of the RNC, Richard D. Obenshain.
As Special Assistant, Rove performed small personal tasks for Bush. In November 1973, he asked Rove to take a set of car keys to his son George W. Bush, who was visiting home during a break from Harvard Business School. It was the first time the two met. "Huge amounts of charisma, swagger, cowboy boots, flight jacket, wonderful smile, just charisma - you know, wow", Rove recalled years later.[19]
The Texas years and notable political campaigns
Rove's initial job in Texas was in 1977 as a legislative aide for Fred Agnich, a Texas Republican state representative from Dallas.[22] Later that same year, Rove got a job as executive director of the Fund for Limited Government, a political action committee (PAC) in Houston headed by James A. Baker, III, a Houston lawyer (later President George H. W. Bush's Secretary of State). The PAC eventually became the genesis of the Bush-for-President campaign of 1979–1980.
His work for William Clements during the Texas gubernatorial election of 1978 helped Clements become the first Republican Governor of Texas in over 100 years. Clements was elected to a four-year term, succeeding Democrat Dolph Briscoe. Rove was deputy director of the Governor William P. Clements Junior Committee in 1979 and 1980, and deputy executive assistant to the governor of Texas (roughly, Deputy Chief of Staff) in 1980 and 1981.[23]
In 1981, Rove founded a direct mail consulting firm, Karl Rove & Co., in Austin. The firm's first clients included Texas Governor Bill Clements and Democratic congressman Phil Gramm, who later became a Republican congressman and United States Senator. Rove operated his consulting business until 1999, when he sold the firm to take a full-time position in George W. Bush's presidential campaign.
Between 1981 and 1999, Rove worked on hundreds of races. Most were in a supporting role, doing direct mail fundraising. A November 2004 Atlantic Monthly article estimated that he was the primary strategist for 41 statewide, congressional, and national races, and Rove's candidates won 34 races.[24]
Rove also did work during those years for non-political clients. From 1991 to 1996, Rove advised tobacco giant Philip Morris, and ultimately earned $3,000 a month via a consulting contract. In a deposition, Rove testified that he severed the tie in 1996 because he felt awkward "about balancing that responsibility with his role as Bush's top political advisor" while Bush was governor of Texas and Texas was suing the tobacco industry.[25]
1978 George W. Bush congressional campaign
Rove advised the younger Bush during his unsuccessful Texas congressional campaign in 1978.
1980 George H. W. Bush presidential campaign
In 1977, Rove was the first person hired by George H. W. Bush for his unsuccessful 1980 presidential campaign, which ended with Bush as the vice-presidential nominee.
1982 William Clements, Jr. gubernatorial campaign
In 1982, Bill Clements ran for reelection, but was defeated by Democrat Mark White.
1982 Phil Gramm congressional campaign
In 1982, Phil Gramm was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a conservative Texas Democrat.
1984 Phil Gramm senatorial campaign
In 1984, Rove helped Gramm, who had become a Republican in 1983, defeat Republican Ron Paul in the primary and Democrat Lloyd Doggett in the race for U.S. Senate.
1984 Ronald Reagan presidential campaign
Rove handled direct-mail for the Reagan-Bush campaign.
1986 William Clements, Jr. gubernatorial campaign
In 1986, Rove helped Clements become governor a second time. In a strategy memo Rove wrote for his client prior to the race, now among Clements's papers in the Texas A&M University library, Rove quoted Napoleon: "The whole art of war consists in a well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive, followed by rapid and audacious attack."
In 1986, just before a crucial debate in campaign, Rove claimed that his office had been bugged by Democrats. The police and FBI investigated and discovered that the bug's battery was so small that it needed to be changed every few hours, and the investigation was dropped.[26] Critics, including other Republican operatives, suspected Rove had bugged his own office to garner sympathy votes in the close governor's race.[27]
1988 Texas Supreme Court races
In 1988, Rove helped Thomas R. Phillips become the first Republican elected as Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. Phillips had been appointed to the position in November 1987 by Clements. Phillips was re-elected in 1990, 1996 and 2002.
Phillips' election in 1988 was part of an aggressive grassroots campaign called "Clean Slate '88", a conservative effort that was successful in getting five of its six candidates elected. (Ordinarily there were three justices on the ballot each year, on a nine-justice court, but, because of resignations, there were six races for the Supreme Court on the ballot in November 1988.) By 1998, Republicans held all nine seats on the Court.
1990 Texas gubernatorial campaign
In 1989, Rove encouraged George W. Bush to run for Texas governor, brought in experts to tutor him on policy, and introduced him to local reporters. Eventually, Bush decided not to run, and Rove backed another Republican for governor who lost in the primary.
Other 1990 Texas statewide races
In 1990, two other Rove candidates won: Rick Perry, the future governor of the state, became agricultural commissioner, and Kay Bailey Hutchison became state treasurer.
One notable aspect of the 1990 election was the charge that Rove had asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate major Democratic officeholders in Texas. In his autobiography, Rove called the whole thing a "myth", saying:
- The FBI did investigate Texas officials during that span, but I had nothing to do with it. The investigation was called "Brilab" and was part of a broad anti-corruption probe that looked at officials in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., as well as Texas ... An official for the U.S. Department of Agriculture spotted expenses claimed by Hightower's shop that raised red flags ... enough to indict some of Hightower's top aides; they were later found guilty and sent to prison.
- The myth that I had something to do both with spurring the investigation and with airing all of this has stuck around because it is convenient for some to blame me rather than those aides who ran afoul of the law.[28]
1991 Richard L. Thornburgh senatorial campaign and lawsuit
In 1991, United States Attorney General Dick Thornburgh resigned to run for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania, one made vacant by John Heinz's death in a helicopter crash. Rove's company worked for the campaign, but it ended with an upset loss to Democrat Harris Wofford. Rove subsequently sued Thornburgh alleging non-payment for services rendered. The Republican National Committee, worried that the suit would make it hard to recruit good candidates, urged Rove to back off. When Rove refused, the RNC hired Kenneth Starr to write an amicus brief on Thornburgh's behalf. After a trial in Austin, Rove prevailed.[10] Karl Rove & Co. v. Thornburgh was heard by U.S. Federal Judge Sam Sparks (who had been appointed by George H.W. Bush in 1991).
1992 George H. W. Bush presidential campaign
Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief Robert Mosbacher Jr. (Esquire Magazine, January 2003). Novak provided some evidence of motive in his column describing the firing of Mosbacher by former Senator Phil Gramm: "Also attending the session was political consultant Karl Rove, who had been shoved aside by Mosbacher." Novak and Rove deny that Rove was the leaker, but Mosbacher maintained that "Rove is the only one with a motive to leak this. We let him go. I still believe he did it."[29] During testimony before the CIA leak grand jury, Rove apparently confirmed his prior involvement with Novak in the 1992 campaign leak, according to National Journal reporter Murray Waas.[30]
1993 Kay Bailey Hutchison senatorial campaign Rove helped Hutchison win a special Senate election in June 1993. Hutchison defeated Democrat Bob Krueger to fill the last two years of Lloyd Bentsen's term. Bentsen resigned to become Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton administration.
1994 Alabama Supreme Court races In 1994, a group called the Business Council of Alabama hired Rove to help run a slate of Republican candidates for the state supreme court. No Republican had been elected to that court in more than a century. The campaign by the Republicans was unprecedented in the state, which had previously only seen low-key contests. After the election, a court battle over absentee and other ballots followed that lasted more than 11 months. It ended when a federal appeals court judge ruled that disputed absentee ballots could not be counted, and ordered the Alabama Secretary of State to certify the Republican candidate for Chief Justice, Perry Hooper, as the winner. An appeal to the Supreme Court by the Democratic candidate was turned down within a few days, making the ruling final. Hooper won by 262 votes.
Another candidate, Harold See, ran against Mark Kennedy, an incumbent Democratic justice and the son-in-law of George Wallace. The race included charges that Kennedy was mingling campaign funds with those of a non-profit children's foundation he was involved with. A former Rove staffer reported that some within the See camp initiated a whisper campaign that Kennedy was a pedophile.[24] Kennedy won by less than one percentage point.
1994 John Ashcroft senatorial campaign In 1993, according to the New York Times, Karl Rove & Company was paid $300,000 in consulting fees by Ashcroft's successful 1994 Senate campaign. Ashcroft paid Rove's company more than $700,000 over the course of three campaigns.
1994 George W. Bush gubernatorial campaign In 1993, Rove began advising George W. Bush in his successful campaign to become governor of Texas. Bush announced his candidacy in November 1993. By January 1994, Bush had spent more than $600,000 on the race against incumbent Democrat Ann Richards, with $340,000 of that paid to Rove's firm.
Rove has been accused of using the push poll technique to call voters to ask such things as whether people would be "more or less likely to vote for Governor Richards if [they] knew her staff is dominated by lesbians". Rove has denied having been involved in circulating these rumors about Richards during the campaign,[31] although many critics nonetheless identify this technique, particularly as utilized in this instance against Richards, as a hallmark of his career.[32][33][34]
1996 Harold See's campaign for Associate Justice, Alabama Supreme Court A former campaign worker charged that, at Rove's behest, he distributed flyers that anonymously attacked Harold See, their own client. This put the opponent's campaign in an awkward position; public denials of responsibility for the scurrilous flyers would be implausible. Rove's client was elected.
1998 George W. Bush gubernatorial campaign Rove was an adviser for Bush's 1998 reelection campaign. From July through December 1998, Bush's reelection committee paid Rove & Co. nearly $2.5 million, and also paid the Rove-owned Praxis List Company $267,000 for use of mailing lists. Rove says his work for the Bush campaign included direct mail, voter contact, phone banks, computer services, and travel expenses. Of the $2.5 million, Rove said, "[a]bout 30 percent of that is postage". In all, Bush (primarily through Rove's efforts) raised $17.7 million, with $3.4 million unspent as of March 1999.[35] During the course of this campaign Rove's much-reported feud with Rick Perry began, with Perry's strategists believing Rove gave Perry bad advice in order to help Bush get a larger share of the Hispanic vote.[36]
2000 Harold See campaign for Chief Justice For the race to succeed Perry Hooper, who was retiring as Alabama's chief justice, Rove lined up support for See from a majority of the state's important Republicans.[24]
2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign and the sale of Karl Rove & Co.
In early 1999, Rove sold his 20-year-old direct-mail business, Karl Rove & Co., which provided campaign services to candidates, along with Praxis List Company (in whole or part) to Ted Delisi and Todd Olsen, two young political operatives who had worked on campaigns of some other Rove candidates. Rove helped finance the sale of the company, which had 11 employees. Selling Karl Rove & Co. was a condition that George W. Bush had insisted on before Rove took the job of chief strategist for Bush's presidential bid.[25]
George W. Bush Administration
When George W. Bush was first inaugurated in January 2001, Rove accepted an appointment as Senior Advisor. He was later given the title Deputy Chief of Staff to the President after the successful 2004 Presidential election. In a November 2004 speech, Bush publicly thanked Rove, calling him "the architect" of his victory over John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.[37]
In April 2006, Rove was reassigned from his policy development role to one focusing on strategic and tactical planning in anticipation of the November 2006 congressional elections.[38]
Congressional subpoenas
On May 2, 2007, the Senate Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena to Attorney General Gonzales compelling the Department of Justice to produce all email from Rove regarding the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy no matter what email account Rove may have used, with a deadline of May 15, 2007, for compliance. The subpoena also demanded relevant email previously produced in the Valarie Plame controversy and investigation for the CIA leak scandal (2003).[39]
On August 31, 2007, Karl Rove resigned without responding to the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoena claiming, "I just think it's time to leave."[40][41][42]
On May 22, 2008, Rove was subpoenaed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to testify on the politicization of the Department of Justice. However, on July 10, Rove refused to acknowledge his congressional subpoena citing executive privilege as his reason.[43][44]
On February 23, 2009, Rove was required by Congressional subpoena to testify before the House Judiciary Committee concerning his knowledge of the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy and the alleged political prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, but did not appear on this date. He and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers later agreed to testify under oath before Congress about these matters.[45]
On July 7 and July 30, 2009, Rove testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding questions about the dismissal of seven U.S. Attorneys under the Bush Administration. Rove was also questioned regarding the federal prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, who was convicted of fraud. The Committee concluded that Rove had played a significant role in the attorney firings.
Activities since leaving the White House
Shortly after leaving the White House, Rove was hired to write about the 2008 Presidential Election for Newsweek.[46] He was also later hired as a contributor for the Wall Street Journal and a political analyst for Fox News. Rove was an informal advisor to 2008 Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, and donated $2,300 to his campaign.[47] His memoir, Courage and Consequence, was published in March 2010.[48] One advance reviewer, Dana Milbank of The Washington Post, said of the book that Rove "revives claims discredited long ago".[49] The controversial book has inspired a grassroots rock and roll compilation of a similar name Courage and Consequence[50] that was released a week before the memoir.
On March 9, 2008, Rove appeared at the University of Iowa as a paid speaker to a crowd of approximately 1,000. He was met with hostility and two students were removed by police after attempting a citizen's arrest for alleged crimes committed during his time with the Bush administration. Near the end of the speech, a member of the audience asked, "Can we have our $40,000 back?" Rove replied, "No, you can't."[51]
On June 24, 2008, Rove said of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, "Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."[52]
Rove agreed to debate one-time presidential candidate and former Senator John Edwards on September 26, 2008, at the University at Buffalo.[53] However, Edwards dropped out and was replaced with General Wesley Clark.[54]
Rove, who was hired by Fox News to provide analysis for the network's election coverage, defended his role on the news team to the Television Critics Association.[55]
On November 3, 2008, Rove spoke on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis on the eve of Election Day.
In 2009, Rove was inducted into the Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame. The induction became a major dispute as political views clashed over the announcement. Gov. John Hoeven was scheduled to introduce Rove during the SAHF banquet but did not attend. At that time, Rove was being investigated by Democrats in Congress for his role in the 2006 dismissal of nine U.S. attorneys.[56]
In 2010, Rove became an adviser to American Crossroads, a Republican 527 organization raising money for the 2012 election effort.[57]
Rove made appearances at a number of campuses, including UC Merced on October 8 as conservatives students, in the College Republicans at UC Merced, sought to provide an alternative perspective since First Lady Michelle Obama and Former President Jimmy Carter spoke at the young campus.[58]
Rove was the guest host of The Rush Limbaugh Show on Monday, August 9, 2010.,[59] marking his first time hosting a radio talk show.
In a profile which appeared in the December 15, 2011 issue of The New Republic, Rove, with his hands-on involvement with American Crossroads, is described as one of the shrewdest navigators of the political climate after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision which exempted political broadcasts funded by corporations and unions from campaign finance limits. "Rove had no role in creating this new legal environment... but if Rove and his allies did not invent it, they certainly were adroit at exploiting it."[60]
In February 2012, Rove said Chrysler's Halftime in America Super Bowl advertisement featuring Clint Eastwood was a sign of Chicago-style politics.[61][62][63][64][65]
Following Todd Akin's comments regarding "legitimate rape" and the notion that raped women are unlikely to become pregnant, Rove joked about murdering the Missouri Senate candidate, saying "We should sink Todd Akin. If he's found mysteriously murdered, don't look for my whereabouts!"[66][67] After multiple news outlets picked up on the story, Rove apologized for the remark.[68] Rove's Crossroads GPS organization had previously pulled its television advertising from Missouri in the wake of the comments.[69]
On November 6, 2012, Rove protested Fox News' call of the 2012 presidential election for Barack Obama, prompting host Megyn Kelly to ask him, "Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better? Or is this real?"[70][71][72]
In 2013 Rove and the PAC American Crossroads created the Conservative Victory Project for the purpose of supporting electable conservative candidates.[73] These efforts have attracted criticism, and even personal attacks, from elements within the Tea Party movement.[74]
Rove's history, The Triumph of William McKinley: Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters, was published in 2015.[75]
Personal life
Rove married Houston socialite Valerie Mather Wainwright, on July 10, 1976. He moved to Texas in January 1977. His sister and father still remembered "the wedding [that] was so extravagant that [we] ... still recall it with awe".[76] Rove and Wainwright were divorced in early 1980.[77] He attended the University of Texas at Austin in 1977. In July 1999 he told The Washington Post that he did not have a degree because "I lack at this point one math class, which I can take by exam, and my foreign language requirement."[13]
In January 1986, Rove married Darby Tara Hickson,[13] a breast cancer survivor, graphic designer, and former employee of Karl Rove & Company. Rove and Hickson have one son, Andrew Madison Rove, who attended Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.[78]
In 2002, Rove built a home just outside Destin, Florida, which includes a television studio for remote news appearances.[79]
In December 2009, Rove and Hickson were granted a divorce in Texas.[80] Dana Perino, Rove's spokesperson, said, "Karl Rove and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week. The couple came to the decision mutually and amicably, and they maintain a close relationship and a strong friendship. There will be no further comment and the family requests that its privacy be respected."[80]
In June 2012, Rove married lobbyist Karen Johnson in Austin, Texas. The wedding was attended by George W. Bush and Steve Wynn.[81]
In a 2007 interview with the New York Review of Books, atheist Christopher Hitchens claimed that Rove was "not a believer".[82] However, in 2010, Rove told Kamy Akhavan of ProCon.org in an email exchange that Hitchens had misinterpreted a quote of his about feeling that the faith of other White House staffers was stronger than his own and stating "I am a practicing Christian who attends a Bible-centered Episcopal church in Washington and an Anglican church in Texas."[83]
Rove resides in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., and also keeps a house near Austin, Texas.[84]

Loyola at a Glance Faculty/Staff Newsletter
Graduation ceremony to showcase live social media posts from students and their families
April 25, 2014
This isn't your grandma's graduation ceremony. This year, Loyola University New Orleans is harnessing the power of social media during commencement to help students and their families capture memories, share congratulations and create digital keepsakes—all in real time. Loyola is the only university in the New Orleans area to showcase live social media posts on multiple giant video screens throughout the Mercedes-Benz Superdome during its spring undergraduate and graduate commencement ceremony set for Saturday, May 10. Doors open at 8 a.m., and the ceremony begins at 9:45 a.m.
All students, parents, families and faculty members can submit photos during commencement simply by posting a photo to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #Loyno2014. Photos will upload to the jumbo video screens in the Superdome.
All photos will be moderated before automatically posting. The posts will appear as early as 8 a.m. when visitors and students begin to arrive at the Superdome. The big-screen social media posts are automatically disabled during the commencement program and address so as not to detract from the ceremony.
After the ceremony, Loyola will feature the best photos using the hashtag #Loyno2014 in a special section of the university's Facebook page.
