Romney's Earth Day Guru: Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin, John McCain's "energy expert" in 2008, now appears to be setting the agenda for Mitt Romney. On Earth Day, Palin bashed the "holiest of days for EcoLiberals," saying in a National Review blogpost that it should be celebrated with "drill, baby, drill." On Monday, Romney followed Sarah Palin's lead, telling an audience at a major coal company that he too opposes environmental regulations for drilling of coal, oil, and natural gas.
Romney even adopted Palin's language in his speech at a Consol Energy research facility:
PALIN: "It's time for the greatest nation on earth to tap into its full potential, and one surefire way to do so is to tap into what is beneath this earth."
ROMNEY: "The course that I will put us on is to take advantage of what comes from above the ground as well as what comes from below the ground so that America can finally become energy-secure and independent of the oil cartel."
"Romney's energy and environmental platform calls for stripping EPA's power to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and expanding oil-and-gas leasing to include areas that are currently off limits, including the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, among other measures," The Hill's Ben Geman writes.
Romney denied that global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels at a Consol Energy facility last year. Consol has given $5000 to the Romney campaign and $150,000 to the Romney SuperPAC.

Sarah Palin as Romeny's Energy Secretary?
From a Nobel Prize-winner to an airhead who does not know the difference between North and South Korea!
To be fair, rich people don't have to worry about pollution and its attendant effects on human health – not to mention effects on the health of the planet. Rich people can always spend their time in countries that do care about such things, like most of the countries in Europe. Their children can attend school in France or Germany, thereby avoiding asthma and COPD, and drinking Perrier and other bottled water to avoid effluent and mercury poisoning. You can't expect these people to be concerned about such things when they're so easily avoided.
I wouldn't have expected Romney to have advocated nationalizing oil.
Communism, pure and simple. See, he wasn't really a conservative.
Tying the hated Sarah Palin to Mitt would be exactly what the Obama 2012 campaign would like – but there's no relation here. Adopted Palin's language? Well they both talked about using fossil fuels from the ground. Of course President Obama has done that before too.
Reminds me of the Fox News tying the Chevy Volt to the hated (by the right) President Obama in their "news".
Give us real news, not Obama 2012 campaign dumps.
"Consol has given $5000 to the Romney campaign and $150,000 to the Romney SuperPAC."
Hmmm…SuperPAC, … SuperPAC, …
I know!!!
Why doesn't someone come up with a SuperPACman game. It would look just like the video game of the 1980's but it would be Romney's profile that gobbles up the litte cherries. And instead of dots, the path with be marked by little triangular trees that get eaten on the way. Eat up all the trees and you 'progress' to the next level.
Has Sarah Palin forgotten the Valdez?? The Valdez spill still affects that area today. "No regulations" would be an environmental disaster!!! Has she gone completely bonkers? I am all for increased drilling for oil and natural gas but it has to be done safely…how about a non-regulated oil or natural gas rig in you backyard Sarah? You don't mind a little oil in your drinking water do you? Then just step right up and guzzle it down…it's sure to make you lots of money, even though poisoning your yard and family. And while your at it fill your swimming pool with oil too…great for your complexion.
I would much rather have an "Eco Liberal" watching over my drinking water than a non-regulated "drill, baby, drill" at all costs, environmental disaster waiting to happen, driven Energy Secretary. Non-regulated oil and natural gas drilling is like war. There is always inevitable, unpredictable collateral damage…and we all know what collateral damage can cost. Let's expand all sources of energy including oil, natural gas and coal, but it MUST be done in a safe and cleanest way possible. Just as our President is currently doing….
Romney said: "The course that I will put us on is to take advantage of what comes from above the ground as well as what comes from below the ground so that America can finally become energy-secure and independent of the oil cartel."
Brad Johnson calls that "adopting Sarah Palin's language".
But just one month ago, Obama said:
"Now, under my administration, America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last eight years … I've directed my administration to open up millions of acres for gas and oil exploration across 23 different states. We're opening up more than 75 percent of our potential oil resources offshore. We've quadrupled the number of operating rigs to a record high. We've added enough new oil and gas pipeline to encircle the Earth and then some … So we are drilling all over the place … And as long as I'm President, we're going to keep on encouraging oil development and infrastructure."
It sounds to me like Romney is "adopting" Obama's language, not Sarah Palin's language.
Getting advice from Sarah Palin on energy is like getting advice from Dan Quayle on spelling.
The extreme of the extreme left, Marxists, and the extreme of the extreme right, National Socialists, both advocated nationalizing industry, outlawed private ownership of guns, outlawed radios, controlled the newspapers, outlawed free speech and freedom of association, abolished privacy rights and advocated racist policies. Both are bad for a happy society. But I did not notice any mention that Romney wanted to nationalize the oil industry.
Please ignore that language. We have to reelect President Obama so he can finally get around to addressing climate change.
It was the travesty of the Valdez Oil spill and the in-action by Exxon over 20 years and the loss of the natives' livelihood that motivated Sarah to get involved. As Gov.she held Exxon accountable for responsible drilling and took them to court and won. There is no other country with the environmental regulations that America has. That is why it is responsible for the US to be the leading oil, gas and coal producers. The spill that happened in the gulf of Mex is happening in other countries every day.

sir, in an earlier post you said that 38 corrects would lead to 99+%ile . But even in mocks this never happened in cl mocks and real cat was easier. So what is the basis of this
To Predict or not to Predict?Academics, Preparing for CAT, Test Taking Strategies October 22, 2013 98 Comments on To Predict or not to Predict?
There are things that should be ignored and there are things that should be addressed. This one is the latter.
I was quite amused when I read this in a website of a test prep company.
"Another important point to note is something we stress upon in every chat session – it is impossible for even the Prometric/IIMs to predict the number of attempts to get a X or a Y percentile. The end result will be a resultant of the difficulty level of the paper and on how the other test takers solved the paper during the slot. It is therefore strongly advised not to get swayed by the predictions that you may find online or may hear from friends."
I am compelled to write this since there is a direct 'accusation' against the efforts that CL is doing, with a tone of condescension, if I can add that.
1. "it is impossible for even the Prometric/IIMs to predict the number of attempts to get a X or a Y percentile."
Let us first analyse what Promteric says about CAT:
"Unlike less sophisticated test construction techniques that simply randomly assign test questions to each candidate, LOFT is a dynamic forms generation model that utilizes advanced computer algorithms and item characteristics to custom-build each exam. A randomly assembled exam can vary dramatically from one candidate to another, leading to serious concerns about fairness and validity. LOFT, on the other hand, carefully "balances" each candidate's exam to ensure proper content coverage and overall difficulty, enabling reliable comparisons of performance from one candidate to another".
(Source : https://www.prometric.com/en-us/news-and-resources/white-papers/Documents/LOFT.pdf)
Perhaps what this prep company failed to understand is this – when questions are created and difficulty level is assessed, the same is based on a prediction – not an astrological prediction but one built with algorithmic precision. So, to say that CAT is just a set of random question with no logic is a non-cogent argument.
2. "It is therefore strongly advised not to get swayed by the predictions that you may find online"
I am not suggesting that one should base one's decision solely on these predictions. I am also not suggesting changing anything based on one time slot or one student's experience.
That is no reason to stop predicting. There are enough statistical models and tools available today to make reasonable and highly probable predictions if you have enough data. Well, at CL, we do have considerable number of data points and some real 'statistical minds', who can make sense of these data using proven and time-tested models.
The fact is – that the same prep company has been predicting the score after every CAT. Just that they got lost to figure out how to analyse CAT when it became online with multiple time-slots and multiple tests within the same time-slot!
Here's the bottom line:
CL is willing to stick its neck out and not be a 'chicken'. We will make plausible predictions based on available statistical model for the benefit of student community. Now, it is for you to figure out how to best use the information.
We made the information available! We will continue to analyse, decipher and decode the CAT – it reflects in the quality of our Mocks, in the comprehensiveness of our course ware and the accuracy of our analysis.
If you have not used our True Percentile Predictor yet, try it now.

one thing I have noticed during my mock tests is that I waste about 15 – 20 mins minimum on questions I end up not answering . this time , if saved , can lead to one or two solved RC/ LR . my question , sir, is how to save this time.
moreover I have found I have a chronic weakness in answering the mood of the passage and inner massage of it (for an example if there is an adage in the options and if it more or less fits , should I go for it or should I choose the option more specific to the passage?? ).
Sir i am unable to understand how percentile and accuracy are interlinked while giving cat exam
Hello GP Sir,
I have attempted 10 ques in QA/DI, with all of them correct, and 18 in VA/LR with 13-14 being correct. Sir, kindly help me in assessing my performance in CAT'13, by providing your estimation of my score. Being a CL student, I am unable to access CLPP.
My Academic Profile is as follows:-
10th : 87%
12th : 91%
Graduated in Economics(Hons) with 62% in July 2013.
Sir, I have applied for IMI Delhi and Fore School till now. Kindly help me out with the Colleges I should be filling, according to your estimation of my score.
I tried doing the same many times, but still I am not able to connect to CLPP through my SIS account. I am able to separately access the CLPP through Facebook, but that is of no use, since its not connected to my SIS.
Hence, I am unable to assess my CAT performance, due to which, filling up forms for colleges is also difficult. Sir, kindly help me, by giving your assessment of my above mentioned performance in CAT'13.
Ok, Thank you very much Sir for your help. This estimation of yours has shown me some direction, as to which all colleges I should apply.
Thanks again.
I know its late in the piece, but I need help now. I can't use the CL calculator(Can't even change the slot on it.). Haven't given the best test series out there as well (Mindworkz) so I can't input any scores. Here are my stats
Slot: Oct 28,2013 (Morning) WRONG QUESTION SLOT!!!!
QA : 14-15 out of 17 correct.
VA : 24-25 out of 29 correct.
Least gross score I make is 95 max is 125.
%ile I should get? (This slot is very debatable due to the wrong question and VERY tough venn diagram DI)
I have applied to FMS.
Worst case scenario what should I apply to?
Thank you very much sir, for your input. My question is where should I apply for the GD/PI classes or training and when do they start.(I am from Delhi, all institutes should be available here.).
sir i attempted 17 question in each section . my estimate is that there wll be 12 correct que in each section can you please predict my percentile..
Sir as per the application earlier my CAT Percentile was shown as 74 percentile. But after the new revised data it is showing 92 percentile at the same attempts.
Please clarify this doubt. What approx percentile can I expect?
Also as per your estimate sir how much raw score is required to get 90 percentile in CAT?
sir, earlier the percentile predictor was showing a percentile of 85 at raw score of 82 but now it has inflated it upto 94,could you please tell is it correct?
cl predicted 66% in cat predictor tdy it is showing 89% in true cat predictor…i just read ur previous comments for a similar percentile(66) in that u stated that even if normalization takes place u cannot score more than 75% but now the true predictor is showing 89% ?? is it reliable?
Hi GP sir. I have attempted 19 qns in QADI and 25-26 qns in VALR. I think QADI is accurate, but at max there might be 2 wrong ans. What percentile can I expect ?
Thanks for the reply sir.
sir, earlier the percentile predictor was showing a percentile of 85 at raw score of 82 but now it has inflated it upto 94,could you please throw some light on how genuine are these?
Even I have got a doubt on this application. Earlier it was showing only 16 %tile for me and GP sir also told that I am unlikely to be above 50 %tile. But now it is showing 62 %tile for me!!
GP Sir, kindly throw some light on this. Can I apply to B-Schools based on this score?
sir,i have the same question.since the form filling involves thousands of rupees and cat percentile predictor is the only thing right now on which our form selection will be based ,reliability of percentile predictor is of high consideration.
Hi. Does the difficultness of the paper vary for people taking up the exam in the same slot? I took up the CAT test on November 10th morning slot. I found the test to be a little easy and made 19 attempts in section 1 whereas most people who attended the test along with me made an attempt of 10. How will this affect my percentile during normalization?
Sir I gave my CAT on 7th november on true cat i got
86.34 %ile in QA/DI
97.07 %ile in VA/LR
95.64 %ile overall
I am from General Category
i have
class X 83.6 %
class XII 89 %
B.Tech 67%
and work experience of 12 months
which college should i apply for from which college i can hope for a call
can i get a call from any IIM ?
sir according to the new revised true CAT %ile predictor
94.88 %ile in QA/DI
98.09 %ile in VA/LR
98.2 %ile overall.
quite a confidence booster, these new scores
and what about iim and other top college's taking admission based on CAT, do i have any luck based on my academic profile ?
and which private college's should i try for ,
My QA/DI and VA/LR Attempts are 25-25 apiece. While one can be sure of one's attempts in QA/DI (Given the difficulty level of all the DI sets (which was surprisingly low)) , an obvious 8 correct on 9 in LR, I'm in a bit of doldrums about the RC's. I'm sure you have heard that the RC's were not the easiest on the 5th of Nov. Having said all this, how can normalisation work to affect my fortunes? (QA/DI- 25A 23C – 67
VA/LR – (erring on the side of caution) 25A 20C – 55)
And whatever could be my sectional and overall percentile? Thanks already!
Thanks sir,
a/c to last year, with 92 net marks what percentile did it convert to at a moderate slot?
Sir,i gave my exam on 6th nov,1st slot. I am NC-OBC candidate;Average profile(fresher)..Heard that the slot was of moderate difficult (QA-DI-moderate , VA-LR-easy). I have attempted 16 QA questions with atleast 14 corrects and 21 questions from section 2 with atleast 17 corrects..what is the LEAST PERCENTILE that i can expect considering the difficulty of the paper??
also,sir plz let me know of which colleges should i fill the form, apart from the newer iims..and what are my changes for converting nitie if i get a call with average profile.
What that particular test-prep center said is not totally wrong either. I understand and appreciate your points but you need to also look into the matter that this year's CAT is a notch tougher than that of last year, so using past year's data to analyze this year's results will not necessarily work. Besides, you have yourself mentioned in another thread that there are many students who don't get IIM calls even if they were very happy after the exam and many who get calls even if they had predicted a lower percentile.
Absolutely true sir! It is the difference in opinions that actually create the beauty and diversity in this world. But no way should it mean that a dissenter on a certain subject is condescending.
I am happy to know that CL has worked on and revised its database and also deepened its understanding of scaled scores. Being dynamic in this way is commendable and this could lead to a more accurate estimation.
I have attempted 14 in QA with approx 12 correct and 16 in VA with approx 13-14 correct.True Cat %ile Predictor is showing 66 %ile..Isn't there any chance for me to get a better %ile in the actual results ?
sir, I am not able submit my cat 2013 attempts . slot 6th nov , 10 am
sir i have tried to link my SIS account with my facebook account. But even after taking my fb credentials nothing happened. I have tried it many times now. sir please help me as i need to use the predictor as well as see the nmat analysis. I have nmat on 11th of nov. Please reply soon sir.
its saying, my beast percentile can be 92 and average 82, but i guess its hardly possible now, I tried to cover up as much as i can in the next section but quant/DI was a nightmare for me..thanks to geometry
i gave my cat'13 on 30th of October and i found my Quant section was very tough, there was no ques from PPL, AMA,time-speed, time-distance,SI/CI and DI was too calculative..I was only able to solve 7in quant with 100%accuracy, and am expecting an overall score between 50-60. I want to ask can Normalization help me ? do I stand a chance in getting a good MBA colg ?
I have given my cat on 5th November slot 2(3:15 pm). I have attempted 22 questions in QA&DI with 100% accuracy and in VA&LR section i have attempted 19 question with an expectation of 13 correct and 6 wrong.So, i am expecting the below given score:
QA&DI : 66 marks (22 correct, 0 wrong)
VA&LR : 33 marks (13 correct, 6 wrong)
How much percentile can i expect sir?
In CL percentile predictor its showing 95.53%ile overall. And in QA&DI : 99.53%ile.
and in VA&LR : 59%ile.
Sir, can you predict my sectional percentile in VA&LR section?. Because many colleges are having sectional percentile cutoff also.
QA 16 attempt,13 correct,VA 17 attempt 12 correct…..I belong to nc obc..what percentile and consequently what college's should I expect?? sir reply plz.
Hello GP Sir,
I am a CL student. I wrote CAT on 31st Oct morning slot.
My attempts were 16 + 27. I entered the data in the true percentile predictor as 13 correct out of 16 for Section 1 & 23 correct out of 27 in Section 2. The percentile shown was 97.58.. For my friend(non CL) it was 19 correct out of 21 for section 1 & 13 correct out of 19 in Section 2. His percentile showed as 85.67..
As you can see his accuracy is slightly better. Then how come there is such a huge difference in our percentiles??
One more doubt sir, will these percentiles change from time to time as more people enter their data??
Thank you Sir
how much can a raw score of 56(19c,1w)in VA and 48(17c,3w)in QA lead to in terms of percentile in each section?
sir last year i attempted net 31(14+17)questions and i got around(168/450) marks..could you tell me what might be my raw score out of 180..?
Hi sir,
I have given my CAT on 24th Oct 2nd slot.The paper was really tough I could attempt only 14 Quant Questions and 20 Verbal Questions..the Quant section was full of difficult geometry questions.I expect 90% accuracy overall.I had given all CL Mocks and on basis of mock percentile predictor i was getting 96 expected percentile….the CL Percentile predictor on CAT performance is showing 85 percentile…..What should percentile should i expect….considering it was the toughest paper??
Hello Sir,
Today I took cat and updated my score in CL CAT percentile predictor. I'm bit surprised to see the result. As per my attempts & accuracy, I'm getting a raw score of 38. (QA – 8 out of 10 and VA-LR: 6 out of 8). I've score same kind of marks in IMS SimCats and CL also projected a score of 80 percentile with those marks. But unfortunately True CAT Percentile Predictor estimated 16.73 (max 19.02) percentile for me! Can you please explain?
Thanks in advance.
Hello GP Sir,
Thank you for your reply. Sir can you please let me know how much raw score is required to score atleast 65 percentile? Actually it was my first attempt and I got very less time to prepare for CAT.
GP sir,
I have been trying since last month to score well in unproctored mock cats but I generally end up in the percentile range of 65-70 . Some times verbal touches 77-78 while quants is low and sometimes the vice versa. I am pretty sure I lack practice because when I analyse the questions post test I am able to do 22-25 of them in quants and so is the case with Verbal too(LR). My D Day is on 5th Nov and I am not very confident that I will pull of a 98-99 %ile score this year . Below is my profile.
Work Ex – 3.2 yrs till now in software industry (Banking and financial services sector)
10th – 78.8% CBSE
12th – 70 % CBSE
Category – General
By the time I get admitted to a B School (if any)my work ex will be more than 3.5 yrs.
My only target is older IIM's , XLRI, MDI, FMS and SP JAIN. If I am not able to make it to the above mentioned will it be advisable to give a try next year??
My prime concern is Work Ex which will be 4.5 yrs next year . So is it advisable to do a full tine MBA from the above mentioned with such high Experience ? Also will the above B schools consider my candidature with such Work ex.?
Additionally going to ISB will be a good idea ? But then its a different GMAT track and even then Experience will be concern?
I am troubled by these thoughts from past few days and I thought of addressing these in the forum . Kindly help/guide me on the above.
Thanks & Regards,
Thank you sir for such detailed reply . Surely helped a lot . Will try my best
gp sir,
my academic profile is:
10th: 97%
12th: 93%
graduation: 90%
non engineering boy
no work ex
What percentile in cat 2013 will get me calls from IIM A,B &C & FMS?
What is the minimum no of attempts in qa and va sections to get me this percentile? I am a little weak in qa. What minimum attempts in qa will allow me to get call from iim A?
Gp sir,
Is a call from IIM A possible with 95 percentile?
I have heard that due to normalization, wrong questions are heavily penalized. Is it true?
If I am stuck between 2 choices in a question should I mark either of them or leave the question?
*Hats off*
Awesome reply. This is what I call survival of the fittest. The only reason why CL has its way much ahead of all these other 'test prep' companies. With this post I announce myself as the greatest fan of GP in the country(Yes,I'm allowed to exaggerate:P)
Now my problem.
I'll tell you stories of couple of my friends who took CAT last year.
1.Person A: Attempts very low[7 in Section1 and 11 in Section2]
A managed to get an overall percentile of 80
2.Person B: Attempts[14 in Section1 and 16 in Section2]
B got a percentile of 76
Question 1 :How far is the accuracy level important in CAT? Is it advised to attempt only questions which we are 100% sure about or can we go with a question which we are sure by about 80%?
Question 2: As you said a decent attempt would be 20 in Section1 and 22 in Section2. Is it a confirmed fact that a person with 16+16 attempts wont manage a 99+?
Please enlighten us with the weight-age of accuracy level and how it affects our overall percentile.
Thanks in advance(Big fan of GP :D)
Can you tell me how much weight-age might be given to ACCURACY?
If my accuracy is less but I get more score as compared to other guy, will he be given a percentile more than me? If yes, then how much is the range of that score difference?
Good Morning Sir,
Is it true that exam set that comes in last days of CAT is comparatively tough then one coming in earlier days.
I know nothing can be done now and i should focus on my preparation but i just want to save myself from any surprises.
Also Thanks a lot for all the help you are providing us through this blog and SQC.
thank you
sir,I am a CL kolkata student.sir my proctored mock percentile ranges between 70 to 80..my exam on 7th november..ncobc profile and mbbs background..is it possible to score more than 96 still??
Thats like a person who I personally admire so much as a teacher and a mentor with enormous dedication to help the students. Sir , I am a CL student and have also had the materials & tests of this other Test Prep Company in the past, and I cant agree with you more on "it reflects in the quality of our Mocks, in the comprehensiveness of our course ware "– i have personally felt these two points stated by you. Your analysis worked perfectly as far as my last year percentiles are concerned.
Another thing , I personally loved the spirit in which you have answered . If you may allow me to say — like a LION :).

Toronto manager John Gibbons had a couple of highly-publicized blowouts with Shea Hillenbrand and Ted Lilly two years ago. But if you talk to people around the team, they'll tell you Gibbons is a "player's manager" who creates a comfortable environment for his guys.
That's a good thing for Scott Rolen -- the Blue Jays acquired the third baseman in exchange for Troy Glaus on Saturday -- because Toronto's newest addition doesn't have a particularly good track record with authoritarian types.
Rolen's relationship with Cardinals manager Tony La Russa -- always dicey -- reached six-alarm fire status when La Russa went on a bizarre, stream-of-consciousness rant at the winter meetings in early December. The minute La Russa shared the news that his personal rift with Rolen was driving him "nuts," it was only a matter of time.
After trade talks with the Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers and other clubs stagnated, St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak found a willing taker in the Blue Jays, who think Rolen has enough of an all-around game to make them an even more serious threat to the Red Sox and Yankees in the American League East in 2008.
Rolen is a seven-time Gold Glove winner, and if his shoulder is healthy (admittedly a big "if"), he'll give Toronto a major upgrade defensively.
Toronto ranked 13th in the league with a .715 OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) against right-handed pitching last season. Rolen is a .284 career hitter against righties -- compared to .244 for Glaus -- so he should help the Jays in that regard.
Rolen's former St. Louis buddy, David Eckstein, recently signed a one-year deal to play shortstop for Toronto, so the Jays won't have to spend much time building synergy on the left side in spring training.
And although the three years and $33 million left on Rolen's contract scared off some clubs, the commitment fits right in with Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi's timetable. The Blue Jays are built to win over the next three seasons, with Vernon Wells, Roy Halladay, Alex Rios, Lyle Overbay and B.J. Ryan all tied up contractually through 2010 or beyond, and now the team won't have to fill a potentially gaping hole at third base.
Glaus, who hit 58 homers in two seasons with Toronto, is under contract for $12.75 million this year with an $11.5 million player option for 2009. But the Blue Jays had legitimate reason to wonder if Glaus might pass on the option and leave town next winter. Glaus has foot problems that necessitated surgery in September, and the combination of plantar fasciitis and the artificial turf in Toronto was kind of scary.
The Blue Jays don't have a third baseman in the pipeline, and next winter's free-agent crop consists of Joe Crede, Casey Blake and not much else. Once the Rolen trade goes through, Ricciardi won't have to worry about overpaying for Crede (and playing phone tag with Scott Boras) or combing through the bargain bin for a Plan B.
As for Glaus, it remains to be seen if the switch to natural grass will have the desired effect on his health. But Glaus did hit 37 homers in his last National League go-round with Arizona in 2005, so, if healthy, he provides a bona fide middle-of-the-order complement to Albert Pujols . The Cardinals have also signed Cesar Izturis to play shortstop, so they're better equipped to cope with Glaus' lack of range.
Given the medical histories, there's an inherent risk in the trade for both clubs. But the deal made enough sense all around for both Glaus and Rolen to waive their no-trade clauses. Now the only remaining obstacle is physical exams on Monday.
After that, presumably, Rolen will revel in the change of scenery. For all his reported problems with Larry Bowa in Philadelphia and La Russa in St. Louis, Rolen plays hard, sweats the details and burns to win. He also got along just fine with Terry Francona during his early years in Philly. If Rolen is finally over his shoulder trouble, a fresh start in a new country might be just what the doctor ordered.

Rock and Rap has had a sometimes fun, sometimes interesting, sometimes possibly regrettable relationship over the years. Artists like Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco continue to blur the line by releasing post-punk/electroclash/whatever style music (complete with fake British accent), learning to play the guitar, and announcing that rap is boring.

Your perfect tankbag for small trips and/or daily use. Enough space for the important things. The tank bag follows the tankline very decent and it is almost invisible during your ride. With map compartement and nice handle. At the elastics on one side you can fix additional material. Thanks to the easy-to-use mounting kit, the tankbag is securely fixed to your bike, but can also easily be removed at the gas station.
If you like the idea of a passenger seat bag, but want something lower profile that you can swing your leg over, this piece of luggage is for you.
One of the most versatile soft luggage systems on the market, this heavy duty touring tail bag system from Touratech will handle everything from the daily commute to a week-long trip on your motorcycle.
Whether it's a weekend ride, or your daily commute, a soft passenger seat bag is a great luggage option for your BMW F800. Unlike a tail-bag, the passenger seat bag mounts closer to the rider, keeping the weight more centered on the motorcycle.
A great bag for small items that won't get in your way while riding! The Touratech handlebar bag for the BMW R1200GS oil or water cooled and KTM 1190 is the perfect bag for stashing small items like your wallet, sunglasses, or glove liners. It designed specifically to fit the bend and taper of the BMW or KTM's handlebars, and is a great alternative to a tank bag if you don't need as much capacity.

This hotel is very handy to I5 about 3 hours from Los Angeles. It was clean and quite sufficient for my needs. I don't need to pay---for one night to have fancy surroundings.

Conveniently located to Buttonwillow Raceway, lots of places to eat, etc., within walking distance, affordable, pet friendly, with friendly, pleasant staff.
March 9, 2010
I asked for a downstairs room and was told there were none available. I found several empty rooms downstairs. I am walking on a cracked hip. I asked for 2 extra towels and they refused . They gave me one.One clerk had a bad attitude. Not friendly or helpful. Bed was so bad I slept maybe 4 hours.

On to Kenya
This spring, 16 undergraduate and graduate students representing nine different disciplines were led by three Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) faculty members on a trip to Kenya as part of an interdisciplinary program designed to promote knowledge and understanding of East Africa in a global context.
The WSSU Spring Break in Kenya exposed students to the cultural, political, economic, and linguistic diversity in East Africa and allowed them to also experience the richness and diversity of Kiswahili language and culture.
After a five-week orientation to prepare for the trip, students found themselves on the campus of Kenyatta University in Kenya. For the next 11 days, they were exposed to lectures on history, politics, culture, economy, and society in Kenya. They had access to local scholars, civil servants, professionals, and artists. They visited a number of sites of historical and cultural interest and interacted with local students and the community at the university, in the local schools, health clinics, art and craft centers, businesses, community centers, villages, and markets. They also took a trip to Maasai Mara Park to learn about issues of cultural preservation and tourism in modern Kenya.
Graduate nursing student Nicole Calhoun, of Gastonia, N.C., said making the trip was important to her as a future health care provider.
"I was interested in learning about a different culture in its natural environment," said Calhoun, who plans to pursue a doctorate in nursing research and develop cultural sensitivity research that addresses health disparities and health inequalities. "This trip impacted me personally and professional. Personally, I returned home with a sense of gratitude for the comfortable life I have and the opportunities I have been afforded. Professionally, the experience ignited a fire in me to address health disparities not only locally but internationally as well."
For Birmingham, Ala., sophomore Ashely George, the excursion was a study in the social fabric of a country different from her own.
"I wanted to be able to study the politics of colorism within the diaspora of Kenya and to base my research on pure observation," said George, a social work major. "I was tired of reading about social issues and stereotypes about a country that was prejudged through another individual's perception. I wanted to formulate my own perception of the Motherland."
George said her Kenyan experience changed her in ways that others saw but she didn't recognize at first. She said her values and perceptions were different upon her return.
"Grateful is the word that comes to mind," she said. " Grateful for not only the 'things' I possess but also for my family." George remembers wanting to give away all the things she packed in her bag for the trip to the Kenyan children she met during her trip.
"My take away from this experience is that, as Americans, we take a lot for granted and that everything we do should have meaning and purpose."
When she graduates, George plans to join the Peace Corps and open small clinics in Africa, offering counseling, health and tutorial services.
"Just to see the poverty level in the slums and poor health care system made me become more grateful than ever," said Tiara Williams, a sophomore healthcare management major from Raeford, N.C. "The trip to Kenya motivated me even more to become successful so that I can help make a difference in the world."
She said the trip taught her that it was the small things in life that matter and that you don't have to have a high income to enjoy life. "The Maasai tribe taught me the true meaning of survival," she said.
Seeing the world has always been a goal for Zieaira Baxter, a rising senior business administration major from Thomasville, N.C. She began working on that goal as a freshman during a six-week study abroad program in Shanghai, China.
"My mother always stressed the importance of taking advantage of my opportunities while in college, and studying abroad is one of those," said Baxter. "Kenya was definitely one those places on my travel bucket list."
She said the trip to Kenya humbled her and changed her perception of African countries. She said she really enjoyed her conversations with students from other African countries, which she credits with changing her life. Her visit to the Kibera slum, one of the poorest slums in Kenya, made her really appreciate what she has in America.
"Often times we find ourselves complaining over the small things [like] having hot or cold enough water, air conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter just to name a few. Yet, we fail to realize that some people don't have that at all," said Baxter.
No sooner than Baxter returned from her trip to Kenya, she caught another flight bound for Brazil.
Though she is unsure about her future plans, she said, "My dream is to land a job with a Fortune 500 company. I am hoping that my international experience will reel me into a job or position that would include traveling!"

The 371K belt sander tackles small jobs and tight spaces with ease.
Unpacking the Porter-Cable "compact belt sander," my first thought was to make a bumper sticker for it saying, "My other belt sander is a tank." My old model is a chain-driven 3x24 sander that needs its oil changed every year and weighs almost 15 pounds. Sometimes I'm tempted to drive it to work. The little Porter-Cable 371K compact belt sander is the exact opposite. At just under 5 pounds, with a 2-1/2x14 belt, it's small, light, and easy to handle.
A small tool is made for small work. The 371 is made for shaping and scribing, not for flattening large surfaces, and it does its job well. I especially liked being able to work close up against the side of the sander in tight places. It won't truly sand flush against its side, but it gets pretty close. Its flat sides also make it a good tool to chuck into a vise for stationary work.
Credit: Photo: Michael Springer
The tool is well made; it has high-quality castings with a good finish. It has plenty of power for the belt's working surface; in fact, I practically had to sit on it to get it to bog down.
The top rubber grip surface and front handle are excellently placed. Gripping over the body allows for great control. This grip/handle arrangement, when compared to a traditional belt sander, reminds me of the difference between a barrel-grip jigsaw and a D-handled one. (To give you a hint where I stand, I haven't owned a D-handle in more than 20 years.) The front handle was easy to remove to sand closer into corners.
Looking at the tool, I was tempted to try one-handed use. It wasn't pretty; I couldn't control it well. My hands are too small and the dust collection hose coming off the back interfered. By the way, this tool needs a supplemental dust collection system; there is no bag supplied.
Changing and adjusting the belt couldn't be easier. Although they're an uncommon size, the belts seem to be readily available where the tool is sold, and large sandpaper suppliers are already making belts in this new size for it also.
Over the years I've reached for this tool several times. The problem was it didn't exist. Now it's here: a small sander that's more aggressive than a random orbital and does the tasks I want a belt sander to do–directional sanding, aggressive removal of wood, and flattening surfaces. The 371K does all of this well–in a small way. A nice tool with good power, I'll certainly keep one ready under my bench. As for the larger work, there's always "The Tank."

The Wand's claim to fame is certainly its Trans-Port technology, which allows for button commands to be passed through to the remote through its bottom port. This technology will be taken advantage of by specially designed third-party accessories (to be made by Nyko). That said, there aren't any devices available yet that use this. Nyko has promised a Pistol Grip accessory that'll allow for the A and B buttons to be used on the gun's handle, but that isn't scheduled to be available until later this summer. We're not doubting the technology here, it just would have been satisfying to see it in action. Unfortunately, without some hands-on experience, the Trans-Port technology section of this review gets an "I" for incomplete.
There's also some confusion as to whether Wii MotionPlus will be compatible with the Wand. Nyko has told us that Nintendo has not shared any prototypes with the company, so it's essentially impossible to know whether MotionPlus and the Wand will play nicely. We'd have to recommend waiting for our compatibility test results with the two products before purchasing a Wand.
Performance-wise, the Wand acts just like a regular Wii remote. There's no noticeable difference in reaction time, pointing abilities, motion control, or vibration. The standard Nunchuk plugs into the base port with no problems, and there was never an issue of incompatibility. For good measure, Nyko includes a customized wrist strap and blue rubberized covering, to boot.
We're glad to see the Wand is priced similarly to the Wii remote, retailing online for about $30. We wouldn't be able to recommend it had it been priced more expensive. If you're concerned about button size, the Wand has you covered, but the absence of products that support Trans-Port and the uncertainty of MotionPlus compatibility may have you waiting until you pull the trigger on a Nyko Wand. When we do have answers to these questions, we'll be sure to update this review and score accordingly.

I'm pretty pumped about the upcoming (adjectiveless) X-men. I really don't feel like this cast is missing anything, and I hope that they actually keep this as the cast for a while. That said, if there were to be any additions to the cast, who do you feel would play the best to these characters?
My first thought, I guess because of the heavy 80's vibe, was Sunspot and Cannonball.
but, for some reason I'm thinking maybe Gateway, or Pixie, is more likely.
but then that made me think of Manifold, who interests me more.

Revolve Automated Motion: Motion-Control Dolly (Kickstarter)
You've probable seen stunning time-lapse photographic videos on Vimeo before (here's one, or just search by the "timelapse" tag) and you might have noticed that the very best usually have some motion in addition to the time-lapse. Since these sequences are recorded over many hours, they require very slow changes to the camera's position. At playback time, it looks like a pan or tilt at regular speed, with a super-speed world in the background. The effect is striking.
There are a lot of expensive rigs that can help achieve this effect, but they're expensive and bulky We found an interesting Kickstarter that includes a belt-drive and a dolly, plus presumably a simple embedded controller with knobs and switches to set up. Using this set up, it is possible to set up rolling, circular, 360-degree panning and other movements.
It's only a matter of time before a system like this is available that combines everything you see here with a Raspberry-Pi based Robot controller. Imagine a motion-control dolly that could autonomously wander around your dinner party snapping photos of everyone, while avoiding to run into anything.

Install went smoothly and I can see all my Volusion products in the drop down under Settings.
However, when editing a post, there is no Volusion icon. To make sure the plugin was working, I enabled the "show some love" feature and sure enough, it added the link in the footer. One thing I notice is that my Gravity Forms icon does show up in the location above the post edit buttons where the Volusion icon is shown in the screenshots.
I went to the seodenver.com/volusion page and it doesn't exist any more. I also went to seodenver.com and there doesn't seem to be any reference to this plugin on the site any more.
Should I keep using this plugin or is it being retired? Or maybe being supressed like the wordspinner plugin (bum deal on that one!)

Panthers now in Miami's company
Published: Monday, November 26, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2007 at 6:23 a.m.
CHARLOTTE -- With all due respect to the Miami Dolphins -- the winless Miami Dolphins -- the NFL's worst team might reside in the Queen City. At the very least, nobody is playing any worse than the Carolina Panthers right now.
If the jury were still out on David Carr, Sunday's performance (10-of-22, 95 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions) provided enough evidence for a unanimous verdict.
To be fair, it's not all Carr's fault. The running game was MIA, and the defense gave up huge chunks of yardage in the second half. But only the delusional or drug-addled would term Carr's performance against the Saints anything but awful. He didn't complete any of his first seven pass attempts and after overthrowing an open Dwayne Jarrett for a completely indefensible interception (it looked like he was aiming for Josh Bullocks) fans began chanting, "We want Moore."
Moore being Matt Moore, an undrafted rookie. Yeah, it's gotten that bad in Carolina. Were Moore, who did enter the game with the outcome decided, the second coming of Joe Montana it wouldn't have made a difference against the New Orleans Saints.
A partial list of Sunday's ineptitude:
To recap: Carolina can't even line up correctly, can't move the ball when they do and can't score because they keep handing the ball to the other team. When the other team gets the ball, the defense can't get out of its own way long enough to stop it.
Add everything up and Sunday's performance ranks among the worst in Panthers' history.
"Right now we're probably one of the worst teams in the NFL given the way we're playing," Lucas said.
No doubt.
It's a shame Miami doesn't visit Charlotte this season. Maybe then the Panthers could finally win a home game. But who are we kidding? A contest at Bank of America Stadium these days would only give the Dolphins a great chance to crack the win column.
Fair or unfair -- and I don't think it's entirely fair -- calls for a coaching change in the offseason are about to grow louder.
"The buck stops here," head coach John Fox said.

This study reports a case of infant abuse by a pigtail macaque mother living in a captive social group. Patterns of abusive behavior appeared three weeks after the birth of the infant and were in strict temporal as sociation with the repeated kidnapping and severe harassment of the infant by the alpha-female in the group. Before and after the period of social stress, the mother exhibited proper caregiving behavior towards her infant. The analysis of the abusive mother's style of interaction with her infant relative to three control mothers indicated that she was an extremely permissive mother. It is argued that the mother's failure to adapt her mothering style to better protect her infant during the period of repeated kidnappings and the resulting lack of control over the situation may be the mechanism by which stress precipitated infant abuse. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Treatment of diabetic neuropathy focuses on:
Tighter control of blood glucose
Pain relief
A regular exercise program to burn glucose and build muscle strength
Avoiding smoking
Medications to treat autonomic problems and prevent bladder infections
Physical therapy
Meticulous care of the feet
Healthy eating and regular exercise can keep blood sugar under control in some people with diabetes. For others, treatment with one or more medication or with insulin may be needed.
To relieve the pain of peripheral neuropathy, your doctor may first prescribe acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
There are many other medications available to reduce nerve pain. These include:
Low doses of tricyclic antidepressant medications, such as
amitriptyline (Elavil)
nortriptyline (Aventyl, Pamelor)
desipramine (Norpramin)
Gabapentin (Neurontin)
Pregabalin (Lyrica)
Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Your doctor may also recommend that you rub on a pain-relieving cream containing capsaicin. In more severe cases, doctors may prescribe narcotic medicines.
If you have gastroparesis, eating small, frequent meals low in fat and fiber. Your doctor may prescribe metoclopramide (Reglan) to help the stomach empty.
There are many available treatments for constipation and diarrhea.
To help relieve constipation, drink plenty of fluids and exercise regularly. You also can take:
stool bulking and softening agents such as:
psyllium (Metamucil, Konsyl)
methylcellulose (Citrucel)
stool lubricants such as:
docusate sodium (Colace)
Use laxatives sparingly. Overuse may lead to dependence and make constipation worse.
For diarrhea, your doctor may prescribe:
bulking agents (which help to change liquid stool into a soft solid stool)
loperamide (Imodium)
If you have poor emptying of the urinary bladder, your doctor will help you minimize medicines that could contribute to the problem of incomplete bladder emptying. Catheters can be used to empty the bladder when neuropathy is severe. Bladder infections requiring antibiotics commonly occur in people with abnormal bladder function.
For erectile dysfunction (impotence), your doctor may prescribe:
sildenafil (Viagra)
vardenafil (Levitra)
tadalafil (Cialis)
Other possible treatments for erectile dysfunction include:
A vacuum cylinder with a hand pump
Injections into the penis of a drug that promotes erections
A penile implant.
Dizziness when standing can be treated by drinking more fluids. Medicines that increase your body salt and water can also help.
If peripheral neuropathy affects your feet, you should:
Wash your feet every day and make sure you dry between the toes.
Carefully check your feet for any cuts, sores or swellings.
Wear soft, clean socks and well-fitting shoes.
Never go barefoot.
Cut your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown toenails.
Never try to remove calluses or warts yourself. Always show them to your doctor.

THE space epic Star Wars has been voted the best film made in a poll by Empire magazine.
George Lucas's perennial favourite, in which Luke Skywalker takes on the forces of the evil Empire, was released in 1977 and went on to become one of the highest earning films.
Its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, came second in the poll.
Some critically acclaimed films are included, but the top 50 features few European films and many American blockbusters. The Daily Telegraph film critic Andrew O'Hagan dismissed the results yesterday as "grotesque" and "dull-minded".
He said: "This list features violent, often quite stupid, American films. Where are the European films, the beautiful and popular films made in recent years by British directors, where is Charlie Chaplin?
"It confirms what we already knew: that the majority of people who go to the cinema like violent films that are easy on the brain. It would be grotesque for anyone to suggest that this represents the best."
A film's reception at the box office had little bearing on the poll. Frank Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption got only lukewarm praise at its release but it has gone on to achieve cult status and it took third place in the voting.
Gladiator, which won glowing reviews, huge audiences and an Oscar for the actor Russell Crowe, came in seventh behind the special effects of The Matrix, fifth, and the violent Fight Club, sixth.
Steven Spielberg's pre-eminence among directors is highlighted with the inclusion of Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark in the top 50.
Empire readers ranked Robert De Niro the greatest actor, followed by Kevin Spacey and Al Pacino. Julia Roberts was named top actress with Jodie Foster and Sigourney Weaver close behind.
The top British actors were Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Judi Dench. Spielberg, whose new film AI opens in Britain on Friday, was named best director with Martin Scorsese second and Alfred Hitchcock third.
Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction was judged to have the best soundtrack.

BRYAN -- With the start of the 2009 season just 64 days away, the Brazos Valley Bombers are getting geared another summer of fun and excitement. In addition to hosting several offseason events, including Boofest and Beerfest, the Bombers been active in and around the community as they make preparations for the upcoming season.
For the average baseball fan, the fun ends with the third out in the ninth inning, but the experiences that are provided for host families extend much further. The opportunity to get to know a Bombers player on a personal level, while being able to grant them with a home away from home will provide you with memories that last longer than just the summer.
With the season running from the beginning of June through the end of August, host families are asked to provide a bed and bathroom, as well as one to two meals per day depending on the players' schedules. With this responsibility comes the benefit of building a relationship with the player that can last for a lifetime. Bomber players are always appreciative of the effort that you make as a host family and they can serve as a positive role model in the lives of your children.
The Duane family, who has been a Bombers Host Family for the past two seasons, has developed a relationship with former Bomber T.J. Mittelstaedt that has extended far beyond anything they could have imagined. Their kids became very attached to Mittelstaedt over the past two summers and they still keep in contact on a regular basis.
Pete and Cheryl Munoz, who have also hosted players the past two summers, are looking forward to building another friendship this summer. The bonds they are their children have built with several players, including Kip Masuda and Clint Helms, promises to last for years to come.
In addition to the benefit of building lasting relationships with the players, host families also receive season tickets for the Bombers season. Families have the opportunity to share in the excitement of a Bombers game while getting to root on their Bombers players as they take part in the action. There are also several host family events that will be planned for the summer, which will give you the opportunity to get to know your Bombers player and the rest of the organization on a personal level.
If you have any questions regarding Host Families or would like to host a player, please feel free to contact Ashley Bertling at (979) 779-PLAY, extension 5047 or at email@example.com.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Grief: Helping Older Adults With Grief
- Older adults often have many major losses within a short period of time. For example, an older adult who loses a partner may suffer many losses, including financial security, his or her best friend, and social contacts.
- The natural aging process brings many losses, such as loss of independence and physical strength.
- Older adults may seem to overreact to a minor loss. What is considered a minor loss may bring memories and feelings about a previous greater loss.

I have the following setup:

A proxy between my server and the external network. I doesn't control this proxy. It forwards a port to the https port on my server.
A CNAME records that maps my the external DNS name I want for my server to the proxy.
Locally, everything works. But when connecting using the proxy, using the CNAME or directly the IP address, I receive the following error:
