Evidently the dockets in Minnesota are less cramped than those in New York and California. On Monday, the players consolidated all of their lawsuits in the big MN.
The sides have not communicated since the talks fell apart and the players union disbanded Nov. 14.
Yet that hasn't stopped the suits from sniping at one another from afar, which of course does little but increase the rancor of the two sides (kind of the opposite of illustrating the hope for an agreement, no?) The whole article from USA Today can be found here. But here's a short summary along with some witty commentary:
"We assume that Mr. Boies was not happy with either the reassignment of the case from Oakland to San Francisco or the fact that the new judge scheduled the first conference for March 2012...This is consistent with Mr. Boies' inappropriate shopping for a forum that he can only hope will be friendlier to his baseless legal claims."
Ouch, Rick but you only sound like an angry man forced to do more paperwork.
David Boies (Hurt)
"Talking it through … we thought things would move faster in Minnesota. The docket is less congested there."
Do you all hear me? I want to resolve this-for the fans. Quickly!
And further:
"They've made pretty clear they (the league) have no interest in talking to us. … I thought this was a case we ought to try and resolve"
Can't we all just get along?
David Boies (Lawyer's humor)
"One of the good things about lawsuits: I know I'm going to hear from them in about three weeks," (meaning the 21 days the league has to respond to the filing.)
Bahahaahahahahaha...Attaboy, Davie, yer killin' me over here!
And lastly, to prove that he and his clients are the good guys, check this one out:
"Eventually, people come to the realization that litigation is not the best way to resolve most disputes...Most disputes ought to be settled. Trying a lawsuit is fun to lawyers. It's our form of competition. But it's not good for the system. It's generally not good for client, if there's an alternative...This was the last resort for players."
Last resort for the players? Did they not have a chance to accept an offer before all of this?
And if you think there was a PR battle before, the one in which the object was to win the hearts and minds of us fans, just you wait, my friends. Mr. Boies is playing victim here, and if we aren't careful we could fall for it. It takes two to rumble, and Boies wins even if he loses. Anyone know his hourly rate?
"We're trapped in the bottom of this 40 foot hole!"
"But at least we found the treasure!"
The hinges creak as the lid of the treasure chest is forced open. Gold, silver, and jewels spill out, overflowing the chest and gleaming in the torchlight.
"Oh my! This must be worth over 4 billion gold pieces! We're rich beyond our wildest dreams!"
"All we have to do is climb up, lower a rope, tie it to the treasure chest, and pull it up, and we can live like kings for the rest of our days!"
"We're going to have to work together to get up without a rope. If we stand back to back-- like this-- and link our elbows-- together, yeah, that's it-- we can climb up together. Put one foot on the wall-- there. Now I'll do the same."
"Yeah! There we go! Another foot, up! Unh. Yes, it's working!"
"Back to back, arm in arm, we can make it out of here!"
"Unh. Keep climbing. A little more. Unh."
"Getting closer. Then we can just lower my rope, haul it up, and split the 4 billion!"
"Yeah! Unh. Who gets to keep the rope after we split everything?"
"Whaddya mean, 'Who gets to keep the rope?' Unh. It's my rope. I'll keep the rope."
"No way! That's not fair! What about the middle class?! We should cut it in two!"
"I'm keeping the rope! And the padlock we busted off the chest, too! Take it, or leave it! And any lint I find in the lining of the chest! OR THERE'S NO DEAL!"
"YEAH?! Well, I have a bundle of dynamite here, and I'm lighting it right now--"
"Don't let go! Whadder you doing? We're gonna FALL!"
"--and dropping it down the hole, so you better change your nasty tone when you're talking to me, and give me--"
Both men fall in, the hole collapses, and they are totally buried, and no one ever remembers that they existed.
The End
* But, fortunately, a team of lawyers arrives and, after years and years of arguing about the correct length of shovel to use, and the proper dimensions of the scaffolding and support timbers, they rescue some of the gold, which they keep for themselves. yippee. *

CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Sanglifehrin A (SFA) is a novel immunosuppressive natural product isolated from Streptomyces sp. A92-308110. SFA has a very strong affinity for cyclophilin A (IC(50) = 6.9 +/- 0.9 nM) but is structurally different from cyclosporin A (CsA) and exerts its immunosuppressive activity via a novel mechanism. SFA has a complex molecular structure consisting of a 22-membered macrocycle, bearing in position 23 a nine-carbon tether terminated by a highly substituted spirobicyclic moiety. Selective oxidative cleavage of the C(26)=C(27) exocyclic double bond affords the spirolactam containing fragment 1 and macrolide 2. The affinity of 2 for cyclophilin (IC(50) = 29 +/- 2.1 nM) is essentially identical to SFA, which indicates that the interaction between SFA and cyclophilin A is mediated exclusively by the macrocyclic portion of the molecule. This observation was confirmed by the X-ray crystal structure resolved at 2.1 A of cyclophilin A complexed to macrolide 16, a close analogue of 2. The X-ray crystal structure showed that macrolide 16 binds to the same deep hydrophobic pocket of cyclophilin A as CsA. Additional valuable details of the structure-activity relationship were obtained by two different chemical approaches: (1) degradation work on macrolide 2 or (2) synthesis of a library of macrolide analogues using the ring-closing metathesis reaction as the key step. Altogether, it appears that the complex macrocyclic fragment of SFA is a highly optimized combination of multiple functionalities including an (E,E)-diene, a short polypropionate fragment, and an unusual tripeptide unit, which together provide an extremely strong affinity for cyclophilin A.

Vernon Summerlin
Hi there! I'm Vernon Summerlin. Like many, I came to Nashville to break into the music industry. After years of striving, I put songwriting aside when I sold the first two fishing articles I wrote. I was being published more than the average songwriter, and I got to fish all I wanted. Talk about being in heaven—it was like being paid to eat candy! Twenty-five years later, I've written/co-written 11 books, had a weekly outdoor column for Middle Tennessee newspapers, put my pen to countless fishing articles, and have been a host for three radio programs and two TV shows. I'm immersed in our state's outdoor life and will do my best to get you outside to experience Middle Tennessee's slice of paradise. Describe your perfect Tennessee day. Nothing floats my boat better than catching fish, or at least trying. Give me a partly cloudy day with the temperature in the mid-60s by 11 a.m. and a breeze causing a light ripple on the surface. In my "Old Man Boat" with my wife, Cathy, and Jake, the golden retriever, trolling the Cumberland River for smallmouth, walleye, striper. Where's the first place you'd take a friend visiting Tennessee? We often take our friends for a tour of the northern end of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Each season suggests the activity we'll include—walking the old trails, wading in a creek, picking berries, photographing waterfalls or capturing deer or turkeys on camera. If you could meet one historical Tennessean, who would it be and why? (This can be someone still living.) I would love to visit with Bill Dance and fish with him. He blazed the trail for so many anglers, inspiring some anglers to become fishing pros, some to write, some to develop outdoor TV shows. He's always gracious, with something substantial to offer.

Carter's, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
A reconciliation of income as reported under GAAP to adjusted income is provided at the end of this release.
Cash flow from operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $129.2 million compared to cash flow used in operations of $85.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to favorable net changes in working capital and increased earnings.
Business Segment Results
Carter's SegmentsCarter's retail segment sales increased $98.5 million, or 21.2%, to $563.8 million, driven by incremental sales of $53.5 million generated by new store openings and $35.7 million from eCommerce sales, and a comparable store sales increase of $14.1 million, or 3.4%. This growth was partially offset by a sales decrease of $4.8 million attributed to store closings. In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company opened 47 Carter's retail stores and closed eight. Carter's wholesale segment sales increased $16.6 million, or 2.4%, to $719.6 million, principally reflecting growth in the Company's Carter's and Child of Mine brands, partially offset by lower off-price channel sales. OshKosh B'gosh Segments OshKosh retail segment sales increased $2.8 million, or 1.5%, to $194.4 million, driven by incremental sales of $9.0 million generated by eCommerce and $1.9 million generated by new store openings, partially offset by a decrease of $7.8 million attributed to store closings and a comparable store sales decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.2%. In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company opened three OshKosh retail stores and closed six. OshKosh wholesale segment sales were $61.3 million, comparable to the prior-year period. International Segment International segment sales increased $71.5 million to $153.4 million, principally reflecting the contribution of the Company's business in Canada and higher wholesale sales in other countries. In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the Company opened 14 retail stores in Canada.

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).
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.
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]
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]
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]
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][citation needed]
Rove advised the younger Bush during his unsuccessful Texas congressional campaign in 1978.
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.
In 1982, Bill Clements ran for reelection, but was defeated by Democrat Mark White.
In 1982, Phil Gramm was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a conservative Texas Democrat.
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.
Rove handled direct-mail for the Reagan-Bush 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]
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.[citation needed]
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.
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.
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:
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).
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."[28] 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.[29]
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,[30] although many critics nonetheless identify this technique, particularly as utilized in this instance against Richards, as a hallmark of his career.[31][32][33]
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.[citation needed]
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.[34] 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.[35]
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]
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]
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.[36]
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.[37]
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).[38]
On August 31, 2007, Karl Rove resigned without responding to the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoena claiming, "I just think it's time to leave."[39][40][41]
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.[42][43]
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.[44]
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.[citation needed]

Shortly after leaving the White House, Rove was hired to write about the 2008 Presidential Election for Newsweek.[45] 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.[46] His memoir, Courage and Consequence, was published in March 2010.[47] One advance reviewer, Dana Milbank of The Washington Post, said of the book that Rove "revives claims discredited long ago".[48] The controversial book has inspired a grassroots rock and roll compilation of a similar name Courage and Consequence[49] that was released a week before the memoir.
Rove has also spent significant time on the road giving speeches to schools and other groups. Rove was scheduled to give the commencement address at Choate Rosemary Hall, a New England boarding school, but canceled after protests from students and faculty.[50] He instead made a private appearance at the school on February 11, 2008.[51]
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."[52]
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."[53]
Rove agreed to debate one-time presidential candidate and former Senator John Edwards on September 26, 2008, at the University at Buffalo.[54] However, Edwards dropped out and was replaced with General Wesley Clark.[55]
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.[56]
On November 3, 2008, Rove spoke on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis on the eve of Election Day.
In 2010, Rove became an advisor 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]
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!"[61][62] After multiple news outlets picked up on the story, Rove apologized for the remark.[63] Rove's Crossroads GPS organization had previously pulled its television advertising from Missouri in the wake of the comments.[64]
On November 7, 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?"[65][66][67]
In 2013 Rove and the PAC American Crossroads created the Conservative Victory Project for the purpose of supporting electable conservative candidates.[68] These efforts have attracted criticism, and even personal attacks, from elements within the Tea Party movement.[69]
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".[70] Rove and Wainwright were divorced in early 1980.[71] 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.[72]
In December 2009, Rove and Hickson were granted a divorce in Texas.[73] 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."[73]
In June 2012, Rove married lobbyist Karen Johnson in Austin, Texas. The wedding was attended by George W. Bush and Steve Wynn.[74]
Rove resides in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., and also keeps a house near Austin, Texas.[75]

Posts tagged: teacher contracts
The Idaho Press-Tribune reports today that a Canyon County judge has upheld collective bargaining law for Idaho teachers, ruling that the Nampa School District can't skirt the local teachers union to sign contracts with individual teachers calling for unpaid furloughs. The Nampa Education Association, not the individual teachers, is the legal negotiating agent between educators and the district, 3rd District Judge Molly Huskey ruled.
Paul Stark, attorney for the NEA, told the Press-Tribune, "We're appreciative that the rule of law has been upheld in this case, and that the collective bargaining process has been defended and validated. The ruling is going to ensure that deviations from the law like this will not happen again in Nampa, and hopefully not in other parts of the state.
The newspaper reported that district public information officer Allison Westfall said the district was disappointed with the order, but glad the matter's now settled. "Our sole intent last December was to find a way to accommodate those individual teachers who came forward wanting to volunteer for furlough days to help with the district's financial crisis," she said. Read the paper's full report here from reporter John Funk.
As teacher contract negotiations continue in the Nampa School District, Idaho Education News reports that nearly 100 teachers and community members participated in an hour-long tailgate party before last night's school board meeting, designed to welcome new board members and urge the district to focus on retaining good teachers, at a time when as many as 20 percent of Nampa's teachers have quit their jobs ahead of the upcoming school year.
"We continue to have people come in and tender their resignations, and that is ongoing," said Interim Superintendent Pete Koehler, Idaho EdNews reports. "I expect that to continue all the way up through the month of July until we hit the point where the law says we must now take action." You can read the full report here from reporter Clark Corbin.
Former teacher Bonnie Richardson said six of Nampa High School's eight English teachers left their jobs this year – herself included. Each teacher has at least five years experience, but left for financial reasons. "There is a train crash on the horizon," Richardson said. "With the proposed salary cuts, they can't afford to have a family."
The Idaho Statesman has a report here on the situation from reporter Bill Roberts.
The Meridian School District – the state's largest – declared an impasse today in its negotiations with its local teachers union, reports Kevin Richert of Idaho Education News, ending negotiations for the upcoming school year and issuing contracts based on the district's last best offer; you can read Richert's full report here.
Though legislation requiring school districts to unilaterally impose contract terms if agreement isn't reached by a June deadline was defeated in this year's legislative session, other legislation set a July 1 deadline for issuing contracts, and Richert reports that an Idaho attorney general's opinion says if school districts reach that deadline and declare an impasse, they can impose terms. They weren't required to, however; they could issue contracts today without a master agreement in place, and continue negotiating.
Meanwhile, Idaho Statesman reporter Bill Roberts reports that Meridian is the only district in the state to impose terms in this manner; other districts that have continued negotiating say the law's not clear that they can do that. You can read his full report here.

How do I get my baby to sleep on his back?
For the first three weeks of my 5-week-old's life, he hardly slept. I'd put him on his back and his startle reflex would wake him up. What a nightmare! One day I put him on his stomach and he slept for four hours -- so now he naps on his tummy while I keep an eye on him. At night, he'll only sleep on his back if he's in bed with me. I want to put him in his crib, but not on his tummy because I'm afraid of SIDS. Please help!

I have to agree with everyone. My son is 8 weeks old. When I first brought him home, I would lay him on his back, and his startle reflex would wake him up all the time. I then started laying him on his side on a sleep positioner and he started to sleep longer. Recently we started swaddling him and laying him on his side and he's now able to sleep 4-5 hours at a stretch.posted 07/24/2006 by michie0502
Like many readers comments my 9wk old son will not sleep on his back for any extended period w/out waking. I am very concerned about SIDS and get conflicting ways to approach this. Some say as a parent I must make my son sleep on his back by being consistant and that its not the babys choice until he can change position himself. Others say I always put my babies on their back & it was ok and yet as of today there is still no proven reason for SIDS. I dont know how I can make my baby sleep on his back as I have tried to swaddle and he hates it. I have also purchased a sleep incliner since some babies have reflux issues which he doesnt seem to have. I will be going back to work and my mother will be watching him during this time but, she refuses to put him on his belly. I this something he will outgrow?posted 07/23/2006 by cb1st
I have a four week old daughter and have had the same problem. On her back, she sleeps only for about 10 minutes and then starts fidgeting and fussing. I have tried letting her sleep next to me and in a co-sleeper next to our bed, even tried holding her... no real luck with sleeping for an extended period. Four nights ago, I put her in her crib in her room on her belly and she has slept for four hour stretches and wakes twice during the night to eat. I find myself checking on her alot in the night but it is still sooo much better. Her mattress is very firm and we don't put any blankets or toys, pillows in with her. She is strong enough to move her head side to side which makes me feel better. When I put her on her side, she just manages to get onto her belly anyway. I have mixed feelings on this too as I would have to be institutionalized if anything happened like SIDS but at the same, we all need some rest and the baby is so much happier in general so for now, I'm sleeping on her stomach and keeping a very close eye and ear to the monitor. I will now try the angel monitor too. Thanks for the tip.posted 07/21/2006 by TraceyLin
Can anybody tell me where I can find "Baby Sense?" My son is now 10 weeks old and will only sleep on his stomach. Every SIDS article I read though scares me more and more. I feel a little better knowing that I am not the only one going through this, but still worry about him. Any info on where to find the Baby Sense monitor would be great!! THANKS!!posted 07/20/2006 by mhowey
Initially we'd swaddle our son and put him to bed on his back. Then he became gassy and wasn't able to work it out being swaddled, so we put him on his side. As soon as he was able to hold his head up high while laying, we flipped him to his stomach (little before 4 months). He is a much more sound sleeper on his stomach.posted 07/10/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I am so glad to hear I am not the only one! My son (now just about 3mo old) would NEVER sleep on his back which I never believed in putting a baby on their back b/c of spitting up and choking on it! But we put our baby on his back one night b/c he fell asleep that way which was unbelievable and he woke in the middle of the night choking so bad that he was turning purple! I did not know they did that with acid reflux my first son had the reflux also i just put him on his side but of course he never slept either and i was working a full time job so he ended up in our bed! I had my lil baby in his side positioner and had the bassinet inclined and he is on zantac but he was still every so often choking during the day and then he was only sleeping about 30 min intervals my husband put him on his stomach and now he is in his crib w/a monitor right beside him and he sleeps 7-9 hours! (lovin it) he is a much happier baby also! =) as my husband says we were on our tummies and we are still here! lol not all dr's are right!posted 07/03/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
my son hated sleeping on his back when he was first born. and for the first 8 weeks of his life, he never got any sleep. finally, i gave up and put him on his tummy. he sleeps so well now!! from the get-go, they say to put your baby to sleep on their backs....why...because there's a greater chance of them getting sids. well, it makes perfect sense to me that the reason they tell you this is because between 2-4 months is when they get their first shots. now, i don't know if it's 100% accurate, but from what i've read, those vaccinations can cause almost like sleep apnea in babies causing them to almost stop breathing or very random shallow like breathing. that's why we are told to have them sleep on their backs!! i believe the majority of babies are designed to sleep on their tummies. and when they are placed on their backs, the little reflexes they get startle them and wake them up. i believe God designed it this way....to sleep on their tummy. it just makes perfect sense!! i will continue to put my son to sleep on his tummy. and yes, i am one of those people who do believe vaccinations play a HUGE role in SIDS. but that's just my opinion. =)posted 07/03/2006 by Meimei26
I have a 4 1/2 month old. He was sleeping on his side for the longest time and sleeping through the night. Now he is able to roll competely over and sleeps on his stomache. I was okay at first with it. I thought hey if he could roll over and lift his head up he won't suffacate. I still checked on him every couple of hours in the night time, but then my last dr. appointment my doctor told me to not let my son roll over. To put rolled up receiving blankets beside him so he won't roll. Now the little booger is literally lifting his butt up over the rolled blankets. I have had a couple of sleepless night because I am so watching him and making sure he is okay. If anyone could give me suggestions that would be great or let me know where to get that Baby Sense thing or Angel Moniter. Thank you very much. Every time I read comments like the ones above he reasures me that I am not the only one going through this.posted 06/26/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My son has been on his tummy since he was 2 weeks old. he has bad reflux and he would choke and could not sleep on his back or side. I have this monitor called the "angel care" it has a sensor pad you put under the mattress and it tracks their breathing and will alarm if they stop breathing, its the only thing that lets me sleep at night. I suggest for all moms whose babies sleep and the bellies.posted 06/12/2006 by gmp77
My baby is now four months plus & has been sleeping on his stomach since 3 weeks & he's doing really fine! he can sleep at a stretch of 5 to 6 hours & somehow he just knows hows to move his head in away to allow proper breathing. Initially, I was fearful just like all u moms out there but then after seeing him enjoy his long sleep, I'm not so worried anymore! He can't sleep on his back coz of the startling reflex action which causes him to get up in a fright! Sleeping on the stomach works well for him.posted 06/01/2006 by cerubhim

EggoA® Waffles Iron Out Cleaner, Greener Energy Source
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Tweetable Highlights:
- @KelloggCompany irons out cleaner, greener energy for baking waffles w/fuel cell technology #leggomyeggo
- Eggo waffles baked in California with cleaner energy source, less emissions #leggomyeggo
- Clean, reliable fuel cell powers the bakery that powers your mornings #leggomyeggo
Consumers of the best-selling waffle brand, Eggo®, will delight in knowing that their beloved food is now being produced in a more environmentally friendly way.
Kellogg Company's Eggo® bakery in San Jose, Calif., recently installed fuel cell technology that generates enough clean, reliable energy to produce approximately half of the facility's annual electrical consumption. The system also uses less water to generate this power than if it had been supplied by the utility grid."We're focused on introducing new processes and technology that minimize the environmental impact of our operations," said Diane Holdorf, Kellogg Company's Chief Sustainability Officer. "This new solution is a win-win. We're maximizing our production while creating energy-efficient solutions for making waffles." The fuel cell servers - developed by Bloom Energy - sit on-site to immediately meet the bakery's fluctuating energy demands. They work by converting natural gas into electricity using a reaction that is more efficient than combustion. Also this year, the San Jose bakery began testing new types of energy-efficient waffle irons which have helped achieve a 15 percent savings on electricity. Adding to the energy savings is that the design of these new grids allows the production of 12 percent more waffles per cycle. For more information on Kellogg Company's commitments to and progress in environmental sustainability, see the 2012 Kellogg Company Corporate Responsibility Report available online at www.kelloggcompany.com. About Kellogg Company At Kellogg Company (NYSE: K), we are driven to enrich and delight the world through foods and brands that matter. With 2012 sales of $14.2 billion, Kellogg is the world's leading cereal company; second largest producer of cookies, crackers and savory snacks; and a leading North American frozen foods company. Every day, our well-loved brands nourish families so they can flourish and thrive. These brands include Kellogg's®, Keebler®, Special K®, Pringles®, Frosted Flakes®, Pop-Tarts®, Corn Flakes®, Rice Krispies®, Kashi®, Cheez-It®, Eggo®, Coco Pops®, Mini-Wheats®, and many more. Because we believe in the power of breakfast, we focus our philanthropic efforts on global hunger relief through our Breakfasts for Better Days™ initiative, providing 1 billion servings of cereal and snacks - more than half of which are breakfasts - to children and families in need by the end of 2016.

The ADM2481 differential bus transceiver is an integrated, galvanically isolated component designed for bidirectional data communication on balanced, multipoint bus transmission lines. It complies with ANSI EIA/TIA-485-A and ISO 8482: 1987(E). Using iCoupler® technology from Analog Devices, Inc., the ADM2481 combines a 3-channel isolator, a three-state differential line driver, and a differential input receiver into a single package. The logic side of the device is powered with either a 5 V or 3 V supply, and the bus side uses a 5 V supply only.
The ADM2481 is slew-limited to reduce reflections with improperly terminated transmission lines. The controlled slew rate limits the data rate to 500 kbps. The input impedance of the device is 96 kΩ, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus. Its driver has an active-high enable feature. The driver differential outputs and receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form a differential I/O port. When the driver is disabled or when VDD1 or VDD2 = 0 V, this imposes minimal loading on the bus. An active-high receiver disable feature, which causes the receiver output to enter a high impedance state, is provided as well.
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature that ensures a logic-high receiver output level when the inputs are open or shorted. This guarantees that the receiver outputs are in a known state before communication begins and at the point when communication ends.
Current limiting and thermal shutdown features protect against output short circuits and bus contention situations that might cause excessive power dissipation. The part is fully specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and is available in a 16-lead, wide body SOIC package.Applications

An inappropriate tweet has left DiGiorno Pizza issuing multiple apologies on Twitter.
Associated Press, 60 Minutes security hacks prompts Twitter to up security with 2-step verification
It only took hackers a few minutes and 12 words.
The stock market plummeted $134 billion and the world did a double-take.
Two days later and Twitter is reportedly making major security changes.
According to Wired, Twitter is testing a new two-step verification process that they'll soon roll out to users.
Users will now be asked to provide a second piece of information to verify their identity, as opposed to just a password.
The hack also prompted a New York based web developer to create ismytwitterpasswordsecure.com . The site looks similar to Twitter's login page and says "In order to help everyone out a little we've created an algorithm that will examine your password and tell you if it's secure."
But when users attempt to enter their info they are bombarded with a surprise.
The site warns "No no no no no no no no don't be an idiot!" in bold font on a bright red background. "Don't ever type your password on a site that isn't Twitter.com. Same goes for Facebook and Linked In."
It's a good, albeit brash reminder.

Linda's sparkly rayon/lycra fabrics are wonderful...I have used quite a few...you won't be disappointed.
------Stash: 171.845 yds. @ 12.19.14
All lovely fabric choices. Although I love the St. John's ponte knit, I believe it is a wool ponte and I live in Naples, FL. My greatest challenge living here is dressing for the weather! I expect no sympathy there but having lived in the Northeast my whole life, I miss sewing up fabulous wools and fall fabrics. The gray/orange stripe is lovely however and is not wool.
That cotton lawn with the unusual striped flowers is beautiful! Now do I buy and stash for next summer? I'm booked solid n summer dresses until September:)
