After much anticipation, we're thrilled to announce the contestants of the 2014 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge! This year's Challenge will be the fifth and final competition of its kind. From June through the end of August, 50 animal shelters in 24 states will engage in a spirited competition to save more animals' lives than they did during the same three months in 2013. The shelters will compete to win a total of $600,000 in ASPCA grant funding, with prizes ranging from $1,000 to a grand prize of $100,000 for the Challenge's top performing shelter.
The bar for these contestants has been set high: 2013 Challenge contestants saved a collective total of 56,379 animals during the exciting three-month competition.
Stay tuned for continuing coverage of this year's Challenge. The competing shelters will host Challenge Kickoff Week events June 1-7, and we know they'll be working hard to prepare between now and then.
For a complete list of the 2014 contestants, please visit our Challenge site.

Here kitty, kitty! Good kitty! I'll scratch your ears Smokey kitty!
Thanks to ASPCA and everyone involved in this challenge. Thanks to all contestants. You all are winners in my opinion. Haven't checked the shelters yet, but I love Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah and the main reason is because they do not turn any animal down. They also took the Michael Vick (Victory Dogs). Treated them, worked with them and found forever homes with the exception of the two (Vick's best fighters) who the judge said could never leave. That turned out to be their home till their untimely death.
Three cheers for all the shelters. We have some tough competition. Good luck to everyone.
OK, so Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is not in the running, but that does not negate my opinion of them. They are still tops in my book. I do wish everyone good luck. I see alot that I am familiar with. I will be looking forward to seeing who will actually win it.
Thanks ASPCA for all you are and all you do for the animals.
this is absolutely fantastic to hear that people are taking a real interest to save these poor creatures,god bless them all.

DARKE COUNTY - Dustin M. Barton of Greenville was charged on Friday with inflicting physical harm while in the act of a theft offense, which is a felony of the second degree.
If found guilty of the charge, Barton could face up to eight years in prison and a maximum fine of $15,0000.
At approximately 2:10 a.m., a Greenville police officer responded to the area of Grant Street and East Fourth Street in reference to a 911 call to the Darke County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office advised they could hear subjects demanding money and then heard a scuffle, then the call was disconnected.
According to the case's affidavit, the officer was advised by the victim that he was jumped by several suspects, including Barton.
The officer later observed Barton running in the area, initiated pursuit, and was able to tackle him to the ground and detain him, according to the affidavit. Barton then admitted to being with two other males while they assaulted the victim, taking their wallet and phone.
Barton was then arrested and transported to the Darke County Sheriff's Office Jail.
Barton has a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 8 at 3:30 p.m.

Is it just me, or are designers suffering from a serious case of deja vu at the moment? Not that it's a bad thing, as it means that you can get more than one season's wear out of the more "on-trend" pieces. And even better than that, it also means that a lot of the more covetable items, that normally you wouldn't be able to get anywhere near for another 12 months, are already in store and ready to buy!
Honorable mentions also go to sheer, metallics, monochrome prints and military for repeat trend offending in the most covetable of ways.

As everyone gets back on track after excessive celebrating over St. Patrick's Day, one thing that you can do to burn off the calories you drank is the Shamrock Shuffle. There is no better way to kick off the running season than participating in this 8K (5mile) race is on Sunday, April 7th. Now, don't be fooled because shamrocks are associated with St. Patrick's Day, which is on March 17th. If you are familiar with Chicago its inconsistent weather conditions, running in 20 degree weather is not desirable.
People of all ages join bright and early on Sunday morning in Grant Park in their finest of green outfits. The race loops through the Loop as all the runners vigorously try and make it to the finish line for the post race celebration. Along the way you get to see all the great attractions Chicago has to offer, while complete strangers cheer you on!
Don't be intimated by the idea of running 5 miles. This race is for all types of runners. My mom, sister, and I ran the race last year and it was so much fun we signed up again this year.
We also have some of our Hampton Team running this year, so if you are in the area come cheer us on!
Happy running!

Campaign: Look for the Leaping Bunny logo next time you shop!
The BUAV has led the way in campaigning to end the suffering of animals for cosmetics testing, resulting in the UK government banning cosmetics testing on animals in 1997 and the European Union following suit in March 2013.
Despite the EU ban on animal tested cosmetics, the Leaping Bunny continues to be the only way European consumers can be sure they are buying truly 'cruelty-free' beauty products. The Leaping Bunny is a global standard which applies to all of the operations and sales of companies, not just those for the EU. We only certify companies that have a policy not to test their products on animals for any market anywhere in the world and so, until we achieve a global ban, we encourage everyone to shop with the Leaping Bunny.
In 2012 we launched Cruelty Free International which is using political, legal, scientific and campaigning expertise to achieve a global ban on animal testing for cosmetics and household products. Cruelty Free International has already made some great achievements globally in Brazil, Russia, Korea, China and the USA to note just a few places.
Find out how you can get involved with the work of Cruelty Free International here.

Martin Haspelmath is the second most senior scientist in the linguistics department of MPI-EVA. He studied linguistics in Vienna, Cologne, Buffalo and Moscow, and received his Ph.D. and habilitation degrees from the Freie Universität Berlin. Before moving to Leipzig in 1998, he worked at the Otto-Friedrichs-Universität Bamberg and the Università degli Studi di Pavia.
His research interests in linguistics are primarily in broadly comparative and historical morphology and syntax as well as language contact. He started out with a focus on European languages ("The European linguistic area", 2001), in particular Lezgian (A grammar of Lezgian, 1993), but more recently he sees himself as a generalist whose primary concern is the discovery and explanation of linguistic universals (The World Atlas of Language Structures, 2005; "Parametric versus functional explanation of syntactic universals", 2008). Together with several colleagues he has pioneered the approach of language comparison via specialist consortia (Loanword Typology, Atlas of Pidgin and Creole Language Structures, The Leipzig Valency Classes Project).

Comment: Great product! Stylish, you can wear it anywhere. Football game, golfing, fishing as well as motorcycling. Wear it under a jacket or by itself. I purachased on for my wife also and she loves it! Highly recommend this product!.
Frank Zugelder
McAlester Oklahoma
Comment: Best heated jacket every, I use it for more then just riding my motorcycle. On cold days in my car and working late nights (fashoinable). I only wish I could buy a extra battery.
Camille Candy Johnson
Inglewood, California
Comment: Looks great, nice feel to the material, does not look like a heated vest. Seems to be all quality materials. You start to feel the heat in seconds. Not sure on battery life as I do adjust the heat level to stay comfortable. Either way I am impressed by the battery. The lighted switch on the front is the coolest thing ever. I LOVE it.
Wish a spare battery could be had cheaper, but not a worry at this point.
North East New Jersey
Comment: Jacket is stylish. However, the battery lasts for only 3.5 to 4 hours. Not long enough, especially since we just had Hurricane Sandy and lost power for days. The vest would have been ideal, but the heat does not last long enough. It also takes a long time for the battery to charge. I am not sure I would order this again.
New Jersey
Comment: I ride in cold weather. This vest makes 40 degree weather tolerable. I will get an extra battery and 12 volt charger soon.
Jim White
Bim WV

Falcon, CO
Comment: I bought this for my husband who likes to hunt on cold mornings. He loves it! He did mention that it would be nice if the battery lasted longer, but is still very satisfied with the vest.
Comment: After many complaints about how cold she always is on Dialysis, I purchased the vest for my mother. She wears the vest as and every day item, along with to and from dialysis four times a week. She can not say enough good things about it.
Lakewood, CO
Comment: Great product, I owned one got another for a gift. on cold days makes riding the Harley more enjoyable without having the cold down your back. It heats up in the right spots.

Mordini Paces Women's Volleyball to 3-0 Sweep of Erskine
September 19, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Thanks to a hitting percentage of 25%, the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons were able to make quick work of the Erskine Flying Fleet in a 3-0 (25-15, 25-15, 25-18) sweep in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action on Saturday afternoon at Merner Gym. Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) led all offensively with a dozen kills on the day. With the win, Pfeiffer stays unbeaten at home improving to 6-6 overall and 3-1 in the conference. Erskine falls to 3-10, 1-3.
Erskine took their only lead of the match with the first couple points of set one. Kills by Larz Chabra (Mt. Pleasant, SC) and Alicia Bragg (Rock Hill, SC) put the Flying Fleet up 2-0 before back-to-back kills by Mordini got the Lady Falcons and the offense rolling from there. Victoria Parrish (Henderson, NC) picked up three kills in a four-point span to put Pfeiffer up 9-4, before Mordini and Parrish, along with Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) and Brittany Dickens (Raleigh, NC) would throw down kills the rest of the way leading the Lady Falcons to a 25-15 set one win.
Pfeiffer wasted little time in set two getting out to a rapid 11-2 head start forcing Erskine to burn an early timeout. Mordini picked up a pair of kills in the stretch while Dickens served six-straight times with an ace and three Flying Fleet errors. Erskine would creep back into set two on a kill by Allison Albers (Goodhue, MN) and four-straight errors committed by the Lady Falcons to get within four at 18-14. Pfeiffer however, would pull away as a kill by Kaci Markham (Asheboro, NC) began the final stretch run for the home team coupling with another kill by Mordini and four more errors by Erskine led to a 2-0 match advantage.
The misfiring for Erskine continued to start the third and final set as Vanessa Gerig (Towanda, IL) served up the first seven-straight points with two more kills by Mordini, an ace and a handful of more Flying Fleet mistakes. Again, Erskine would make a mini-comeback on another kill by Albers putting them within three at 8-5. Ovbeys third kill in the next length of ten points would separate Pfeiffer once again to lead 14-9 late in the third set. Dickens and Mordini registered the final two kills of the afternoon starting at 16-10 before Kathryn Hobson (Asheboro, NC) came off the bench to chalk up the final kill of the day and a 3-0 win.
Pfeiffer gets back to Conference Carolinas action with three matches on the slate for next week. Tuesday begins the action in a road trip to St. Andrews to take on the Knights at 7:00 p.m. The Lady Falcons return home next Thursday night and Saturday afternoon for homecoming weekend action against Limestone and Converse.

GREENVILLE – Tulsa was looking to make a move just before halftime, trailing by one score, and take the momentum away.
Zeek Bigger had other plans.
East Carolina's sophomore linebacker stepped in front of a pass, ran it 29 yards to the 18-yard line, and one play later, quarterback Shane Carden hooked up with Isaiah Jones for a touchdown.
Jones scored two touchdowns and had his first 100-yard receiving game as the Pirates rolled to a 58-24 win over Tulsa on Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
"One of the things Coach Ruff harps on is offense scoring, kicking the ball, defense stopping and offense scoring again. That's what we came out here to do," Jones said.
"We relied on the defense to do their job and then we went out there and executed."
Bigger's interception was the momentum swing the Pirates needed.
"It was a play we had been working on all week in practice," Bigger said. "We knew they were going to do a West Coast three-step, so I was watching the wide receiver and I saw him make the move and go back out.
"I went underneath the pass and then our offense got the touchdown."
Junior Justin Hardy, who had 99 receiving yards on 10 catches, hauled in his 23rd touchdown reception in the third quarter, breaking the all-time school record for scoring grabs in a career. He has 1,000 yards on the year – the first ECU receiver to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
Jones, a freshman and son of former ECU standout Robert Jones, said Hardy has been a mentor to him in his first college season.
"Justin, I am actually a roommate of Justin, and it's awesome," said Jones, who had eight catches for 104 yards. "I can ask him any question I want. It's like having one of the greatest players in your back pocket.
"He is teaching me things I didn't think you needed to know as a receiver."
Following Hardy's score, Tulsa returned the ensuing kickoff back to ECU's 15-yard line, then one play later, all-purpose threat Trey Watts answered with a 15-yard touchdown reception from Dane Evans.
Jones followed by hauling in a 25-yard bullet from Carden to bump the Pirates' lead to 35-17 at the end of the third quarter.
Carden threw five touchdown passes and ran for two more while piling up 384yards through the air.
Watts ran for 120 yards and was the first opposing running back to gain 100 yards against ECU's run defense.
After ECU failed to score on its opening drive, for the first time this season, Tulsa moved the ball 77 yards on 11 plays to put points on the board. Watts, who touched the ball seven times on the Golden Hurricane's first possession, pushed into the end zone from a yard.
The Pirates dink-and-dunked the ball 75 yards on their next offensive possession, capped off with a 1-yard run from Carden.
Carden lobbed a 28-yard score to Cam Worthy, giving the Pirates a 14-7 advantage. Five minutes later, Tulsa kicker Carl Salazar nailed a 19-yard field goal.
ECU added on with Carden's first touchdown-strike to Jones, building a 21-10 cushion at halftime.
The Pirates outscored the Golden Hurricane 37-14 in the second half. Bryce Williams caught a 5-yard touchdown reception and DaShaun Amos put the exclamation on the victory with a 100-yard interception return for a score on the game's final play.
"One of the goals I have for our team is to play off of each other and I was proud of the way we responded," ECU coach Ruffin McNeill said. "We knew that Tulsa would come in with a championship mentality because they won it last year.
"I was proud of our team and that we were able to come back and beat them convincingly."
The Pirates (7-2, 5-1 C-USA) host UAB at 2 p.m. next Saturday.
Notes: ECU had the ball first for the 20th game in a row...For the first time this season, the Pirates failed to score on their opening drive...Tulsa's Trey Watts is the first opposing running back to gain 100 rushing yards against ECU's defense...Watts gained 104 yards on 20 carries in the first half...Hardy passed Lance Lewis for most career touchdown receptions.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
If the U.S. were attacked with weapons of mass destruction, biological or nuclear, the Justice Department would not be prepared to respond. That's the conclusion of a report put out yesterday by the department's Inspector General.
Col. Randall Larsen, USAF (Retired) Executive Director of the Commission for the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism and now CEO of the WMD Center, told Federal News Radio the IG's finding "was not surprising."
Larsen explained there's a national response in place for the federal government to respond to natural and man-made disasters, including WMD incidents. As part of this "National Response Framework", Justice's job is to ensure public safety and security.
The Attorney General designated the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to be the lead agency to coordinate Justice's response.
And that's the big problem, according to Larsen.
They (ATF) haven't had a leader, well... In this entire administration they haven't had one yet, and there was a gap at the end of the Bush Administration. So they're saying (the IG's office) they don't have plans, they're not training, they don't have checklists for people to use, the agents they interviewed... said "we don't really know what we would do in that sort of emergency." Well, sounds like to me one of the first things we need to get fixed is get a leader in at ATF.
The IG's report notes the FBI is adequately prepared, said Larsen. "They have plans, they have handbooks. There's one thing to have a plan but you get down to the handbooks, the checklists, that people really need out in the field, but more importantly, they test them. They're involved with lots of exercises and whatever. So the assessment was that the FBI would respond."
While the FBI may be prepared, Larsen deadpanned, "there's a lot of law enforcement challenges after a big weapon goes off in a city."
The WMD Commission concluded its work in February, but Larsen noted the threat still exists.
"This is the one that could really threaten the nation - WMD attacks on our cities. We have to be prepared for them. So hopefully this IG report, that's what it's supposed to do, report to the American public and the press so we can look at this. Hopefully it'll put some attention on it and get this fixed."

The idea of a stocking stuffer is not green to begin with; almost always superfluous trinkets, these items are what end up in the garbage a month after christmas. Thankfully, most of the items here circumvent the useless aspect, though the FLOWmarket products couldn't be defined as anything but useless. I really like giving plants as gifts though, so give on!

Guest Article: Identifying Environmental Toxins In Your Home
If you've followed this blog at all you know I've posted a few articles about the green home my wife and I built and recently moved into. I've promised to post more about it, and will in time, but for now I'd like to share a guest piece about how green living in general is beneficial. This article is by recent college graduate and aspiring writer Krista Peterson, whose interests lie in health and environmental issues.
Identifying Environmental Toxins In Your Home
by Krista Peterson
Protecting our children from products that can potentially harm them is becoming more and more difficult in this day and age. With environmental toxins more present at every turn, keeping our eyes open for asbestos, BPA, and lead may secure the long term health of our children.
Mothers know better than most how to take care of their children. Unfortunately, even giving your baby a bottle can be dangerous. Bisphenol A, or BPA, has been used for over 40 years in the production of plastic products. Its negative effects are most commonly spread to us and to our children by plastic coming into contact with our food and drink. Plastic bottles, even baby bottles and cups, often contain BPA. New studies are showing that BPA may indeed harm adults and children. To avoid BPA and to prevent infants from ingesting too much of it, mothers are encourage to breastfeed. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breastfeeding provides myriad health benefits for both the mother and the child. Not only are children who are breastfed less likely to become obese, breast milk provides all the nutrients an infant needs for development, antibodies which protect infants from common illnesses and allergies, and better long-term health. Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of ovarian and breast cancers and obesity for mothers. Mothers and fathers should also check for and throw away scratched or damaged baby cups and bottles.
In addition to guarding against BPA, parents should keep a careful eye out for asbestos. Asbestos is found in drywall and other building materials in homes, offices, and schools. Once disturbed, asbestos releases fibers into the air and children and adults that frequently breathe these invisible fibers in are at risk for a serious cancer called mesothelioma. Symptoms generally don't show themselves for 20-50 years after exposure to asbestos fibers. Because of this lapse in time, diagnosis and treatment are often postponed until the cancer has spread. Mesothelioma life expectancy is extremely low, and preventing exposure to asbestos is the best way to keep your children healthy.
Finally, lead poisoning can have devastating effects on the health of your children. Children are more susceptible to lead poisoning because they are more likely to put dust, dirt, paint, and old toys into their mouths. They are also less likely to wash their hands properly after playing in soil that contains lead. Lead poisoning symptoms include irritability, vomiting, loss of appetite, nausea, and behavioral inconsistencies. Lead can also be found in drinking water and other household products. To protect your family form lead poisoning, have your home tested. If high lead levels are found, see a doctor about a lead blood test.
Environmental toxins like lead, asbestos, and BPA may threaten the long term health of you and your children, but prevention, information, and caution can reduce the risk of environmentally related illness. If you observe mesothelioma or lead poisoning symptoms, even if they are noticed among neighbors or friends, see a doctor about screening and testing. Spread the news about how to protect our families.

Joe Jonas Gossip
Joe Jonas gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
"It's not that what he says is so incredible, it's how many people don't know that this exists." -- Duana, after reading the candid new Joe Jonas interview with Vulture posted last night.
Pffft. After so many Disney examples, how could they not know that this exists? Well, if that's your position, is it willful ignorance then, the ones who still decide for their children to move forward in the direction of fame? Reminds me of a quote attributed to Iris Burton who specialised in child stars. Her client list included Kirsten Dunst, Drew Barrymore, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, and, most notably, the Phoenixes, Joaquin and, of course, River. That's quite a track record – and you can read from that any way you want. Burton once declared that Read Full Intro
Broken Down Jonas Brothers
Pacific Coast News
The Jonas Brothers were supposed to go on tour in two days. It was just announced this afternoon that they're tapping out and PEOPLE reports that it's because they pretty much hate each other right now. No, not in those words, but their publicist is calling it a "deep rift" over "creative differences". Full Story
Best Random Couple
All these photos came up on the agencies yesterday... Random what? Apparently they're doing some new talent reality show together. I didn't spend a lot of time researching. But it was Nelly's birthday yesterday and he celebrated with, I guess, his new best friend, Joe Jonas. Full Story
Please say hi to me
These pictures made me laugh. Shia Labeouf and Joe Jonas walked past each other at Cafe Med yesterday in West Hollywood. Let's Photo Assumption the Middle Vagina Virgin's face: Please know me. Please say hi to me. Please look up. Please let's bro-shake. Should I walk back in the other direction? How can I run around the back and come across him all over again without seeming obvious? Should I try it? Please let me be his friend. Full Story
Let me just make a quick call
Yesterday it was reported that Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas had broken up. Conveniently, just a few hours after the news went wide, Greene was papped in New York, in green for the occasion, with her dad, and oh look, shocking, she's also with Jared Followill, to whom she's been linked before, and apparently they're making out again now that she's done holding hands with a Vagina Virgin. Full Story
Vagina Virgin + Twilight C-List: it's over
You know, I thought about putting an exclamation point after the title but then again, who'll be reading this story with any kind of enthusiasm or excitement? I mean, their relationship ended the way it started– with a lot of try, and very little care. On our part. After all, it's Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene. Full Story
Chest puffing
This post should really write itself. Just look at the photos. You don't need me to point the funny out to you. Let me just throw you the facts then: It's Fashion Week in New York. This is the Calvin Klein show. This was apparently the best front row they could manage: Joe Jonas, Zac Efron, and Kellan Lutz. Full Story
Jersey Shore > Ashley Greene
Best story of the day so far. Who are the two most hard up attention-whore members of the Twilight cast? Definitely Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene. It's like they're trying to Out-Try each other every day. Kellan poses in a tree with a book. Ashley will throw it back in his face by taking off her clothes in a magazine, or dating a Vagina Virgin. Full Story
Who looks more uncomfortable?
Joe Jonas hit up the Knicks game at Madison Square Garden last night fronting like he's all manly man with the sporty sportos. Am very, very surprised that Ashley Greene isn't hanging off him auditioning for a spot on the Knicks cheerleading squad. She doesn't usually pass up those kinds of opportunities. Full Story
Swifty doesn't deny it
I was gloating yesterday re: Taylor Swift's new song Dear John being about John Mayer after he, obviously, f-cked her up during their secret relationship. Click here for a refresher on those lyrics. This girl does not mess. Prefer it so much more than when she's aw-shucks-ing onstage after winning an award that she so clearly was going to win. Full Story
They eat Japanese
The Middle Vagina Virgin and Ashley Greene went out for dinner last night at Katsuya in Hollywood. Let's call this is a pity post, because at this point, she was probably hoping for a lot more coverage about their relationship than has been given them so far. People.com wrote about it one day and then even they stopped caring. Full Story
The most obvious source in the world
"[Joe] is head over heels for [Ashley]. He thinks she is down-to-earth and absolutely beautiful. He hasn't been this into a girl in a long time." – a source to People.com, for an article posted this weekend, on the burgeoning relationship between Ashley Greene and the Middle Vagina Jonas Virgin. Full Story
Are you Atari?
It's your new favourite song. Well, it's certainly my new favourite song. This is Cee-Lo and this is the break-up anthem for 2010, what Demi Lovato needs to be singing to Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene who is apparently now rubbing up her Try all over a Vagina Virgin. Thanks Hez!...and PS. Full Story
Joe Jonas was the joke of TIFF last September. Because he'd go running throughout Yorkville, the epicentre of the festival, at the busiest time of day, when traffic was at a standstill and the crowds were as thick as they get all year, with his shirt off or in a purple tank top, surrounded by security. Full Story

The Jerusalem Post, citing Egyptian news media, said an Israeli delegation made up of four officials arrived in Cairo on a military jet Thursday and left that evening.
The al-Masreyoon website said they met with a group from the Egyptian General Intelligence Service with a source telling the site Raafat Shehata, the head of the service, led the talks.
The topics included the state of the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, the alleged Israeli attack on Syria and the security situation in Sinai. The officials also were reported to have discussed a prisoner exchange in which Andre Pshenichnikov, an Israeli citizen detained after he was caught crossing into Egypt, would be returned in exchange for Egyptians held in Israel, al-Masry al-Youm said.

There was great rejoicing amongst O.C. firefighters on Sept. 5. 2001: Infamous telemarketer Mitch Gold – who had been raising millions in the name of disabled firefighters, but spending almost all of it on fundraising – had been indicted for charity fraud.
"We're high-fiving because finally we put this knucklehead to rest," said Joe Kerr, Orange County Professional Firefighters Association. "Once they put him in jail, we figured that was the end of it."
But that wasn't the end of it. A few days later, planes hit the Twin Towers in New York City. "The next thing we know, we're getting a call from the district attorney in Brooklyn. 'We have an Association for Firefighters and Paramedics soliciting funds for 9/11 victims. Does that have anything to do with you guys?'"
No, no, no, Kerr explained for what seemed like the thousandth time. The union's charity had nothing whatsoever to do with the Santa Ana-based Association for Firefighters and Paramedics, which gave just pennies of every dollar to burn victims.
"They resurrected themselves," Kerr said of the bad charity. "Same group, different players. We tried to get the Brooklyn D.A. to talk to the O.C. D.A. We tried to help tighten down some legislation. We went to the attorney general. We were told there was not a lot anyone could do. They're walking the line, just skirting the law."
And even after the state attorney general cracked down, suing the Association for Firefighters and Paramedics in 2009 and forcing it into a settlement agreement that involved years of official monitoring, the charity still collects millions and gives less than two cents of every dollar to the victims it purports to help.
"We've been on it, unsuccessfully, for 16 years," Kerr said. "Our office gets scores to hundreds of phone calls every year from people inquiring, 'Is this organization legit?' Which it is not. Are they affiliated with us? No, they are not. We tell people that if someone is doing a phone solicitation, chances are they are not a legitimate firefighting organization. If they are asking you to leave a check on your doorstep, we advise you strongly against doing it."
So, after all these years, should the power of the great state of California be brought more firmly to bear on charities that exist mainly to line fundraisers' pockets? Is this not an issue of consumer protection as much as anything else?
"Absolutely," Kerr said. "Something has to be done. They are preying on the good intentions of people who believe they're contributing to community firefighters injured or killed in the line of duty. In our opinion, that's fraudulent. We think the law should be severely tightened."
Oregon passed a law in June – the first of its kind in the nation – that will simply yank state and local tax exemptions from charities that devote more than 70 percent of their spending to management and fundraising over a three-year period.
Florida is looking at something like this, too. The Sunshine State's consumer services commissioner is asking state lawmakers to support increased fines, mandatory background checks for telemarketing employees, and a requirement that charities spend at least 25 percent of donations on those in need, or risk losing their state tax exemption.
Florida's commissioner also wants the power to deny licenses to charities or solicitors banned by other states and to immediately suspend charities engaging in fraud.
So our question to California lawmakers is simply this: If they can try it in Oregon and Florida, why can't we try it here?
We are in the process of reaching out to every legislator in the Golden State in an attempt to get this question answered, and Kerr has vowed to bring the firefighters' perspective to lawmakers as well. Early and off-the-record reaction in Sacramento indicates that the problem is well-known, and there might be some resolve stirring to combat it if we keep banging our heads against the wall long enough.

MORGANTOWN — Allegations of knowledge of election law violations by Secretary of State Natalie Tennant highlight an explosive motion filed in Federal court by former Lincoln County Commissioner Thomas Ramey, Jr. Ramey filed the motion to vacate, set aside or correct the term of his sentence in federal custody. Basically, Ramey is asking that his sentence be reduced.
Ramey, a Democrat from Harts, was serving on the County Commission by appointment before allegedly being elected to a term in his own right in 2010.
Allegations arose that Ramey and others conspired to rig the 2010 Lincoln County Democrat primary election by the illegal use of absentee ballots.
Eventually, Ramey was pleaded guilty on August 8, 2012 to making a false statement to investigators. He resigned from office and has been serving a 21-month sentence at a Federal facility in Morgantown.
Prior to serving on the County Commission, Ramey had been a member of the Lincoln County Board of Education.
When a sitting member of the Lincoln Commission, Buster Stowers, passed away in 2009, Ramey was chosen to complete his term in November of that year.
According to a narrative provided by Ramey, who filed the motion on his own behalf, he, Sheriff Jerry Bowman and County Clerk Donald Whitten entered into an arrangement whereby the three candidates would solicit votes from "traditional non-voters." That group included those who eventually cast absentee ballots.
Although it was determined that Ramey's Democrat primary opponent was ineligible to run because of a residency requirement, a legal ruling on that matter was not sought, the narrative says.
About 750 of the 5,000 votes cast in the election were absentee and the media began to publicize the dramatically increased number of absentee ballots from previous elections, the narrative continues.
As media scrutiny increased, the election was held and Ramey lost to his opponent on Election Day balloting but was declared the eventual winner after absentees were taken into consideration. Two apparently defeated candidates — for County Commission and Circuit Clerk — filed election challenges.
The end result was that Ramey remained the declared winner of the County Commission primary; Whitten was re-nominated for County Clerk; and Bowman was chosen for Circuit Clerk. After subsequent negotiations, Bowman gave up his claim to the Circuit Clerk nomination and it was awarded to his opponent, incumbent Charles Brumfield.
In early 2011, the narrative says, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began investigating the election. Ramey alleges that Federal agents were "threatening constituents with voter fraud during … interviews."
Ramey claims statewide media sided with his opponent alleging he had "stuffed the ballot box."
Ramey then outlines meetings he had with Federal agents in an attempt to resolve the situation.
In the meantime, Bowman and Whitten pled guilty to election law violations. After Ramey and his attorney rejected one plea offer to him, he eventually entered the guilty plea to making a false statement.
Bowman received a sentence of one year and one day and can never run for public office again as a result of his guilty plea to conspiracy.
Whiten was sentenced to 18 months in prison and cannot run for public office in the future because of his guilty plea to making a false statement.
Ramey was sentenced to 21 months in prison but he is allowed to run for public office in the future. Ramey self-surrendered to prison on January 29, 2013.
Ramey claims the disparity between the sentences for the three gives rise to his current motion in court. He also argues that his court-appointed counsel gave poor and inappropriate advice, rising to the level of ineffective counsel.
In his narrative, Ramey makes a number of allegations about Tennant, the Democrat Secretary of State who has announced she is running for the United States Senate in 2014.
Ramey's statement says Brandon Bentley, a lifelong Lincoln County resident, "advised authorities of candidate Natalie Tennant's presence during the 2008 campaign at the 'Bologna Shack' next door to Paul Griffith's home on Ely Fork Road in Lincoln County, wherein absentee applications were passed and filled out to encourage 'no excuse' absentee voting."
Further, Ramey says Tennant and her staff were "well aware" that Whitten had not attended County Clerk training sessions, as required by law, and had not purged Lincoln voter rolls in a timely manner.
The narrative continues, "Upon information and belief, Tennant was fully aware of questionable absentee campaign strategies being used in Lincoln County. She failed to act upon this information until after the election."
Ramey goes on, "Tennant attended and witnessed Ramey at the 2010 Lincoln County canvass recount wherein the vote was stalled. Secretary of State Tennant then urged canvasser, Charles Vance, to vote to certify the election to enable the process to proceed to election challenges. Vance originally opposed certifying the election because of the appearance of impropriety."
Ramey claims he made efforts after the 2010 election to clean up Lincoln County's election processes.
Further, he says, "Secretary of State Tennant was quick to condemn and target naive individuals for the FBI to investigate, yet slow and delinquent in her mandated duties to secure and ensure a fair, legal Lincoln County election."
Ramey argues that his attorney was well aware "of corruption at the highest level of West Virginia politics" and had assured him (Ramey) that he would "give interviews in front of the Federal building and expose Natalie Tennant."
Ramey says various violations of law were uncovered by his investigators but were not used by his attorney.
In his motion, Ramey requested an expedited hearing.
A spokesman for Tennant said the allegations in Ramey's motion regarding Tennant have been proven not to be true.
"If they want to break election laws in West Virginia, the facts are they will be investigated and turned over to prosecutors by Secretary Tennant," said Glance.
"In fact," he said, "it is a bit ironic that a prisoner behind bars because of the work of the Secretary of State's office and other law enforcement officials is hurling these kinds of allegations against the Secretary of State."
Glance said Tennant basically denies all the allegations "and believes her record of helping bring violators to justice is clear."
A courthouse observer noted that, since Ramey filed the motion on his own behalf, he is not "bound by the rules that govern attorneys in these cases. In other words, Mr. Ramey can claim anything he wants and not be forced to prove it or lose his law license," the source said.

Portland always has great crowds, though.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Whatever play we drew up, the lob to Thomas was all we could get. Oh well. Suck it up. Played our hearts out but lost. Davis took his lumps, but in what you might call a bad game, he still put up numbers.
He's gonna be just fine. Better than fine, really.
Ehh those million turnovers we had early came back to haunt us. This is the effort i want to see though that was a good comeback by a young team.
hornets 1-point loss, less than a minute after Tom Brady keeps his TD streak alive in the 4th.
I see it's still 2012.
Lillard pretty much ROY this year. Only way anybody else can win it is if Lillard gets hurt.
Monty had wrong personnel on defense at the end. He needed more athleticism.
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
I only needed to watch ONE Weber State game to know Lillard was gonna be a pain in our asses if we didn't draft him. Dude has "It." Point blank.
If Davis' game matures faster than expected, we hit our next draft in a big way and get either more of our Gordon, which is basically ANYTHING out of Gordon, thereby turning the team into contenders, it'd speed it up considerably. And we'd have more sellouts. When we were competitive during the CP3 years, we would have some raucous crowds.
