IN AUGUST 1960, Paula Kent Meehan founded Redken Laboratories, Inc., a company that initiated the concept of "beauty through science." Meehan recently hosted a reunion for former employees who were with the company during its "Renaissance Years" of 1960 through 1993. More than 400 former employees helped recognize Redken's product and leadership contributions at the milestone anniversary gala held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Long-time Redken executive and spokesperson Ann Mincey emceed the event that included a gallery of Redken memorabilia and guests who included Vidal and Ronnie Sassoon, former senior executive Bill Peplow and his wife Pam, and Redken's fi rst distributor Bob Peel Sr. of Peel's Salon Services along with his wife Lou, and son Bob Peel Jr. and his wife Kris. "Redken created superior products and educational programs which propelled the industry's transformation and created a solid foundation for the company's continued success," said David Cannell, Ph.D., retired senior vice president of research and development.
The vocal group Saint Tropez reunited to perform Light the Way, the Redken song that debuted at Hair World in Las Vegas in 1984. Additional musical numbers were performed by former Redken executive and current president of Pravana Steve Goddard and Meehan's childhood friend actress and singer Debbie Reynolds. Other former members of Redken's senior management team Chris Meehan, Jim Brooks, Harry Fairtlough, Jim Pekin and Tom McLaughlin participated in the reunion that was organized under the leadership of Joni Rae Russell and Robert Russell of Joni Rae and Associates.
"We've hosted reunions in the past and I've always been gratified by the number of employees who returned to connect with each other and rekindle the spirit of Redken," said Meehan. "The fact that 2010 marks such a milestone made this the most special reunion of all. We celebrated not just a company, but the incredible caring and rapport of the friends and colleagues who helped create the central core—the incredible nucleus—that endures to this day. They are truly the modern pioneers of beauty through science," she said. To see more photos visit facebook.com/redken-50- year-reunion.

HOOVER, Ala. — Even Jadeveon Clowney has to marvel at his widely seen, helmet-popping, ball-jarring hit of Michigan running back Vincent Smith in the Outback Bowl. But anymore, Clowney doesn't watch in awe of the play itself, but rather, how frequently it is shown — seemingly whenever he is mentioned on television.
"I was happy at first, like, 'Hey! I did that' " he said Tuesday of his initial reaction to the hit. "Now, it's like, 'Oh, man, it's still going on.' But it's a great honor to do something big like that and everybody recognize it."
Such is the state of our viral video world: Become known for a clip, and it follows you forever, or at least for a long time.
Clowney said he first watched a replay of the hit on the sideline shortly after it happened, courtesy of a smart phone. On Wednesday night, a day after he spent much of his Southeastern Conference media days session reflecting on the hit, its publicity reached its zenith, when Clowney won Best Play at the ESPYs — ESPN's annual sports award show.
Clowney, an All-American junior defensive end who will probably go first in next year's NFL draft, flew from SEC media days in Hoover, Ala., to Los Angeles for the award show, which was hosted by "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm. The winners were determined by online fan voting. Clowney's signature moment — the one that most sports fans now know him for — beat NBA player DeAndre Jordan's alley-oop dunk, Ray Allen's 3-pointer for the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals and a 55-foot buzzer-beating heave by high school basketball player Khalil Edney.
What is often unmentioned about Clowney's hit of Smith is that nobody blocked Clowney, because of a miscommunication on Michigan's offensive line. While the hit of Smith produced a spectacular highlight, most rational football observers would not consider it Clowney's best play of the season. A better contender would be his strip sack of Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, to clinch a 38-35 USC win. Bray's helmet stayed on, but Clowney got to Bray by beating tackle Antonio Richardson, an elite player who handled him for much of the day.
"That was a big play," Clowney said. "Everybody doesn't really pay attention (to that play). It wasn't a big hit, but it saved us in the last couple minutes of the game."

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases)".
Index And When It Is Determined: The Index used to determine your variable APRs is the highest U.S. Prime Rate as
published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal during the 90 days immediately preceding the last day of each
calendar month (the determination date). The Index will be effective for the entire billing cycle that ends in the second month
after the determination date. For example if your billing cycle ends in July, we will use the Index determined on
May 31st. As of 09/01/2016,
the Index (Prime Rate) was 3.50%.
APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers: To determine the APR for purchases and balance transfers, we add a
margin of 9.74%,
or 16.74% to the Index (Prime Rate).
APR for Cash Advances: To determine the APR for cash advances, we add a margin of
21.99% to the Index (Prime Rate).
1We will begin charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the transaction date.
Please Note: Your
account generally will have monthly billing cycles, except that your first
billing cycle may be more or less than one month. All credit terms, including
minimum finance charges, will apply in each billing cycle including
the first billing cycle.
You understand that the terms of your account, including the APRs, are subject to change.
We reserve the right to unilaterally change the rates, fees, costs, and other
terms at any time for any reason subject to applicable law.
Required minimum payments may be allocated to the lower APRs first.
Payments in excess of the required minimum payment will generally be applied to balances with highest APRs first.
BALANCE TRANSFERS: You authorize us to make one or more of the
balance transfers that you have requested. All balance transfer requests
are subject to our approval; we are not liable if we do not make a requested
balance transfer. We reserve the right to make balance transfers in the order
we select and to limit the amount of the balance transfers that we
make (this amount may be less than your total credit limit). If you request
an amount that we do not approve, we may process a partial transfer for less
than you requested or we may decline the entire request. In addition, transfer
requests that are incomplete, illegible or requested to cash, to yourself or to
another account with us or one of our affiliates need not be processed. You should not transfer
any amount that is in dispute in order to preserve your dispute rights. You should continue
to monitor the other accounts that you request to transfer balances from and you should
continue to pay the minimum payments due on those accounts until you receive statements
from those creditors showing that the balances due them have been paid in full. This
may not happen until after the balance transfer appears on your billing statement from us.
You are liable for any late payments, finance charges or disputed amounts on your other accounts.
If you want your other accounts closed following a balance transfer, you are responsible for doing so.
Balance transfers are subject to applicable fees and finance charges and do not have the benefit
of a grace period.
CREDIT REPORTS: By applying for this account
you agree that First Bankcard® (a division of First National Bank of Omaha) may obtain
credit reports for purposes of processing your application and for

requested and of the name and address of the credit reporting
agency that furnished the report. You also authorize
First Bankcard® (a division of First National Bank of Omaha) to verify your
employment, income and other relevant information.
NOTICE TO CARDMEMBERS AND AUTHORIZED USERS: We may report
information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments,
or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.
MINIMUM PAYMENT: You may pay all or a part of the balance
on your account at any time. However, you must pay at least the minimum payment
by the due date shown on your billing statement. The minimum payment will
be indicated on your billing statement and shall be the largest of (1), (2), or (3) listed
below, plus any amount that is past due on your account: (1) Your total New Balance
if it is less than $10; (2) The greater of 2% of the entire New Balance, or $10;
OR (3) The sum of your current cycle fees and finance charges, plus 1% of the entire
New Balance (to calculate this 1%, we will not count amounts in dispute or current
cycle fees and finance charges as part of the New Balance). If your account is
overlimit, we will add to the minimum payment the amount
necessary to reduce your balance to your approved credit limit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the
government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, the USA Patriot Act requires all financial institutions
to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person

agreement, unilateral statement or court decree adversely affects our
interests and/or rights unless, prior to the time the credit is
granted or an open-end credit plan is entered into, we are furnished
with a copy of the agreement, statement, or decree, or have actual
knowledge of the adverse provision. Married Wisconsin residents
applying for credit separately must furnish name,
and address of their spouse to

the right to use this account to the extent of any credit limit set
by the creditor and each applicant may be liable for all amounts of
credit extended under this account to each joint applicant.

QUALIFYING TRANSACTIONS: "Qualifying Credit Card Transactions" are authorized, new purchases posted to the Account on or after your Enrollment Date,
net of refunds, credits (for returned merchandise or otherwise), and disputed billing items. Points may be deducted for awards based on purchases
that are subsequently subject to a refund, credit or dispute. Qualifying Credit Card Transactions do not include:
(a) annual fees, finance charges and other fees or charges posted to the Account;
(b) cash advances (including but not limited to cash received over
the amount of transactions charged to your Account, purchases of money orders or other cash equivalents) or special check transactions;
(c) balance transfers;
(d) charges for other products, services, or benefits that we provide (such as credit insurance premiums); or
(e) other transactions that we determine not to be eligible.
We are solely responsible for determining which transactions are eligible for point earnings and our determination is final.
"Qualifying NFIB Membership Transactions" are "Qualifying Credit Card Transactions" made by National Federation of Independent Business members to pay their
National Federation of Independent Business annual membership dues.
"Qualifying Business Expense Transactions" are "Qualifying Credit Card Transactions" made at any merchant whose merchant category code ("MCC")
is classified by the payment card industry as "Telecommunication services" (MCC 4814), "Cable and other pay television" (MCC 4899),
or "Stationery, Office Supplies, Printing, and Writing Paper" (MCC 5111).
The MCC is a four-digit code used by the payment card industry to classify a merchant's primary business. You might expect some merchants to be classified into one of the MCCs
identified above, but they may not be classified as such. This could affect whether transactions you make with such merchants will qualify as Qualifying Credit Card Transactions
and, as a result, whether you will earn points on such transactions. We do not assign MCCs to merchants nor are we responsible for making sure with any of the
payment card networks that a merchant has been assigned a correct MCC.
We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether any transaction qualifies as a Qualifying NFIB Membership Transaction, Qualifying Business Expense Transaction,
or Qualifying Credit Card Transaction, and our determinations shall be final.
POINTS: We will award you points as follows:
Business card arrangements with multiple cardholder accounts earn points at the individual account level, but businesses may elect to set up the accounts
so that points can be awarded and redeemed at a certain, designated account level.
BONUS EARNINGS: In addition to the above, you will earn 5,000 bonus points after the first Qualifying Credit Card Transaction is posted to the Account
after the Account is opened and while the Account is enrolled in the Program. Please allow 6-8 weeks after you qualify for these bonus points for the bonus points to be added
to your point balance.
REWARDS: Once you become a cardmember and if the Account is in good standing, you can redeem points for merchandise, gift cards/certificates, travel, other goods
and services and cash back as a credit to the Account (collectively, the "Rewards"). Point redemption may be subject to shipping, handling or other fees.
Complete details on Rewards and point redemption are available through our Rewards Service Center and the Rewards website.
If the Account does not remain in good standing, you will not earn future points and could forfeit any accumulated points previously awarded.
Closing the Account (by you or by us) will result in the termination of the Program and any unused accumulated points will be forfeited. We may change or terminate the Rewards program
in our discretion at any time with or without prior notice to you.

EAST LIVERPOOL - The legacy of a longtime East Liverpool nurse is being felt in the lives of young aspiring health professionals in the classroom of Nicole Dozier.
The Diversified Health Occupations class at East Liverpool High School recently received a $250 donation from Team Mojo Foundation, a local non-profit charitable organization, to help cover the cost of lab fees, uniforms, supplies and other expenses for low-income students.
"I know there's a need there because we've helped (East Liverpool) students in the past," said Team Mojo Founder Bill Crawford. "It seemed to make sense."

The money comes from memorial contributions made by friends and family of Marilyn "Sue" Tucker Creaturo, who died July 10, 2012, at the age of 71. Creaturo, a 1958 graduate of East Liverpool High School, worked most of her life as a nurse, having graduated from the East Liverpool City Hospital School of Nursing in 1962.
When Creaturo died, "her family generously asked that contributions be made to Team Mojo Foundation in lieu of flowers," Crawford said. "Sue's daughters were very excited about the idea."
Kimberly Creaturo and Melody Creaturo Gill, both of East Liverpool, approved the idea as a way to honor the memory of their mother, Crawford said.
"Sue was a longtime, well-respected, local nurse," he said, "so we're all pleased that these funds may help others become successful nurses too."
The money, just one of many ways Team Mojo has helped local students since its founding in 2010, will be distributed according to need by Dozier, who has worked as a registered nurse for 12 years and only recently began teaching.
Crawford said Team Mojo relies on the knowledge of teachers such as Dozier to ensure that donations get into the right hands.
"Interaction with schools is crucial for us," he said. "The key to us is the network we've established with school teachers, administrators and staff at the 20 schools in our coverage area."
Team Mojo provides assistance to students in need from school districts in East Liverpool, Wellsville, Midland, Pa., Hancock County and beyond.
Since October 2010, Team Mojo has distributed more than $21,000 in financial assistance, raised mostly through private donations and grants.
The charity's "success stories," according to its Web site, include helping five high school wrestlers pay for their team apparel and gear; helping several high school students afford an overnight field trip to Gettysburg, Pa.; getting three siblings started in piano lessons through the Free Music Lessons Project; subsidizing the cost of a church mission trip for two teenagers; donating more than 800 school supplies to four area elementary school teachers; purchasing new school clothes for children whose house was destroyed in a fire; and helping three high school girls pay for their prom tickets.

The European Commission (EC) recently published an important report, officially a Communication: Against lock-in: building open ICT systems using standards. The Communication introduces and explains the need for the accompanying: Guide for procurement of standards-based ICT—Elements of Good Practice, which was released at the same time.
The documents, announced in a press release on June 25, are designed to educate public administrations and encourage their use of standards-based ICT procurement, which, in the words of the communication, "will enable more interoperability, innovation and competition, lower costs (by more than 1 billion Euros per year), and improve interaction with citizens." The Commission's activities are an effort to fulfill a key part (Action 23) of the Digital Agenda, the EC's long-term planning strategy designed "to help digital technologies, including the internet, to deliver sustainable economic growth..."
Great! Go forth and prosper! Who could argue with this? If matters were only that easy.
As I reported previously, policy makers throughout Europe and beyond are putting in place all manner of laws, regulations, and guidance designed to lay the ground work for public-sector adoption and private-sector growth of open standards and, by extension, open source software. Despite these commendable efforts, it turns out that in practice, not everyone, it would seem, is against lock-in.
All too often, when it comes to implementing these policies, procurement officers are retreating to what they've long been comfortable with—proprietary solutions—for a variety of reasons. As the against lock-in Communication points out, these reasons include, you guessed it, the cost of over coming lock-in.
That is, 40% of procuring authorities in a survey cited by the Communication said that changing their existing brand of ICT solution would be too costly because it would imply changing many other systems that somehow use the data of the system that they would like to change. While this is, of course, little more than an admission of the problem, others in the same survey point to other impediments such as a lack of expertise to decide which standards are relevant (50% of those surveyed).
To overcome this, the Commission's Guide provides not only advice on developing an ICT strategy and assessing standards, but also advice on long-term budgetary planning in overcoming higher upfront costs when trying to remove lock-in situations. Recognizing that these documents will be little more than dust collectors if they are not brought to the attention of and actually used by public administrations, the Commission, as outlined in the Communication, proposes to actively engage appropriate constituencies throughout the European Union.
The Communication explains that "in order to facilitate sharing of best practice, the European Commission will support this initiative by organising meetings with relevant stakeholders (public authorities, ICT supply industry, standards organisations and civil society), supported by a public best practice website." Based on these meetings, the Commission will also report on the outcome of this process, tracking progress being made in the use of standards in procurement and identifying what other steps can be taken to promote their use.
So, now can we go forth and prosper? Not quite yet.
We, as the "ICT supply industry, standards organizations, and civil society" (and any other category you might fit into) need to applaud the EC's initiative and engage in their education efforts. Organizations such as Open Forum Europe and Free Software Foundation Europe have put out supportive statements (OFE here and FSFE here) commending the Commission's action.
They have taken a leading role to promote the Commission's good work. Real change takes time, commitment, and persistence to convince those who are charged with implementing these policies that doing so is not only in the best long-term interests of the citizens that they serve, but, frankly, is well within their reach.

Please suggest any MEPs ammendments on this proposal by European Commission. It's the way we can help open source further. Right now I'm working at the European Parliament so thrust me, it's simple to change things:
1. Find a few MEP email addresses.
2. Write a mail. Be ready to answers questions and ask the MEPs to ask if they have something to ask.
3. Remember to give exact suggestions how the text should go and what should be altered (like diff output). Remember to also tell the MEP why these editing suggestions are good. Otherwise, nothing naturally happens.
PS. The reasons to use open source is already in the document. It just needs to be cited. The suggested procedure just isn't radical enough.
@Tom this particular initiative will likely not get picked up by the EP. Anyway I'm not sure how this would help, what needs work is implementing the recommendations instead of yet another top-level political report, as well intentioned as it might be.
I think education is key. Educating for example the procurement officers in open source and open standards. To give them an unbiased view on options and benefits of open software and standards.
EC is on the right track with those meetings and best practices. It bridges the laws and policies towards implementations.

PHOENIX -- For months, Michael Guzzo complained to neighbors about incessant dog barking, even putting up fliers on doors throughout his Phoenix townhome complex advising people of pet ordinances and fines.
This weekend, police say, Guzzo went on a rampage, methodically killing four members of a family and their two dogs that lived next door before killing himself with the same shotgun.
While his motive died along with him, neighbors and family members of the victims say he was becoming increasingly unhinged over dog noise.
Neighbors in the complex of two-story townhomes where a central courtyard looks like a tree-laden park said Guzzo made no secret that the barking dogs were irritating him.
He often left printouts of the city's dog barking ordinance on doors throughout the community, said Joni Flood, 21, who lives a few doors down from the victims.
"He hated them. But everyone here has dogs," Flood said.
On Saturday, police say, Guzzo shot and killed neighbor Bruce Moore, 66; his daughter, Renee Moore, 36; her husband, Michael Moore, 42, who used his wife's last name; and Renee's son, Shannon Moore, 17, along with the family's two dogs.
Guzzo, 56, then walked across the courtyard and tried to kill more neighbors who had dogs, neighbors whom he had confronted in the past.
Libni Deleon, 26, said that just a few months ago, he returned home from work to find Guzzo standing by his back gate where his two dogs were on the patio barking. "He said, 'Your dogs are barking. I'm here to live in peace,"' Deleon recalled.
On Saturday, moments after killing four people and two dogs, Guzzo went to Deleon's home and began kicking on the front door.
Libni Deleon's wife, Vanessa, who had just gotten out of the shower, grabbed their two children and ran upstairs to hide in the bathtub.
Libni Deleon went toward the door as Guzzo blasted two holes through it, sending about 20 shotgun pellets into the walls at the back of their home.
Deleon ran upstairs to get his own gun, opened the window and began to yell at Guzzo, who opened fire again before walking back to his own home to kill himself.
"I feel pretty darn lucky," Deleon said.
While Guzzo's motive died along with him, neighbors and family members of the victims say he was becoming increasingly unhinged over dog noise.
"He hated them. But everyone here has dogs," said Joni Flood, 27, who lives a few doors down from the victims.
Family members, meanwhile, struggled to come to grips with their loss, dumbfounded by the sheer senselessness of the killings.
Standing amid pools of drying blood on the home's back patio where the two men were apparently shot first, Michael Moore's brother called the killings "angering beyond belief."
"It just angers me looking at all this because I just feel for my brother," said Patrick Riley, 41. "The helplessness."
The patio wall was chipped with pockmarks from the shotgun's blast. Police haven't given specific details of the attack, but Riley said he thinks Guzzo shot his brother over a 6-foot cinderblock fence while he worked on an engine.
"He had no idea what was coming," Riley said. Bruce Moore was killed a few feet away near the patio door to the home.
Riley said police told him Guzzo killed the two men first, then walked through the family's unlocked front door and shot Renee, her son, Shannon, and the dogs.
The killer was no stranger to the family, even though they had little contact with him, Alderman said.
Renee Moore had told her repeatedly "the man was crazy. He can't stand the dogs."
Alderman sobbed Monday as she stood outside the home while other family members gathered on the porch where the two men, including her son, were shot.
"I don't want to see the blood," she said with a heavy sigh.
Phoenix Sgt. Steve Martos said authorities can only speculate on a motive for the killings.
"If he had left a note, maybe," Martos said, "but nothing like that occurred in this case."
A makeshift memorial has been set up in front of the Moore home on Monday Oct. 28, 2013, in Phoenix, to remember the four shooting victims. Police say loud barking dogs might have led to 56-year-old Michael Guzzo, to kill four of his neighbors and the neighbors' two dogs before turning the gun on himself, and dying. The victims were identified as Bruce Moore, 66; his daughter, Renee Moore, 36; her husband, Michael Moore, 42, who took his wife's name; and Renee's son, Shannon Moore, 17. (AP Photo/Ross D.

on December 4, 2012 - 9:30 PM
, updated December 5, 2012 at 10:31 AM
An appeals court has set April 1 as the date it will hear the Buffalo Public Schools' appeal of the teacher transfer case, and unless the teachers union and district officials radically change their stances, city schools will lose $33.4 million in state aid.
The union since late September has refused to negotiate on teacher evaluations until the district drops its court fight over the involuntary transfer of 51 teachers this fall from three low-performing schools.
An arbitrator ruled that the transfers violated the contract. A State Supreme Court justice upheld that ruling. In four months, the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court will hear the district's appeal.
Any school district that does not have an approved teacher evaluation plan in place by Jan. 17 will lose this year's increase in state aid – for Buffalo, $33.4 million – under the deadline Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo set last year.
"Why don't they just abide by the contract?" Buffalo Teachers Federation President Philip Rumore said of district officials. "Once they agree that the teachers can go back if they want, we're willing to sit down with them."
Rumore and district officials say they believe the two sides would likely be able to reach an agreement on teacher evaluations fairly readily if they were to come to the table.
The district submitted an evaluation plan to the state in early July, but state Education Department officials took issue with the way the plan awarded extra points for teachers with a large number of students with disabilities, students who don't speak English fluently and students who are chronically absent.
While the BTF sometimes parts ways with its parent organization, New York State United Teachers, in this case, the Buffalo union has the support of NYSUT.
Richard Iannuzzi, president of NYSUT, said he believes Rumore is doing the right thing. "I'd love to see them at the table [negotiating teacher evaluations], but you can only be at the table if your contract is being treated with respect," Iannuzzi said. "When an arbitrator and the courts say your contract is being violated and the district continues to do so, then there isn't any respect, and you shouldn't be at the table."
Superintendent Pamela C. Brown declined to comment for this report but in recent interviews has said the district will not drop its appeal of the transfer case.
The teacher transfers were required as part of a federal school improvement model the School Board chose for three low-performing schools. "We are required to adhere to federal and state law," she said recently. "I am not going to change my decision to do that."
She has repeatedly called on Rumore to resume negotiations on teacher evaluations.
If the district loses this year's increase in state aid, she said, about 600 teachers and other staff could be laid off in midyear.
More than 600 of the nearly 700 districts in the state had submitted evaluation plans by late last week.
"Syracuse, Rochester – all these other districts have somehow been able to do this," Brown said. "Why we can't get that kind of cooperation in Buffalo, I just can't understand."

Zuma Rossdale Learns How to Surf in Long Beach
Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale's youngest son, Zuma, 4½, beats the heat in Long Beach, Calif., where he honed his surfing skills on Saturday.
That's right – school may be out, but this little one (pictured here with his presumed instructor) is still learning.
Meanwhile, 7-year-old brother Kingston also got in the spirit of the season with mom Stefani, who showed off her bikini-ready abs on land.
Of course, it's just another sandy outing for the frequent beachgoers.

A tip in October about Kenneth Boones possible involvement in arsons in Hollywood led a task force to place him under surveillance in connection with a string of intentionally lit fires on the peninsula, Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen said.
Suspicious fires
Click here to see an interactive graphic of suspicious fires in the downtown area over the past decade. For more coverage of the downtown fires, go to postandcourier.com/arson.
Investigators kept close tabs on the 55-year-old construction worker until Saturday night, when they learned he was on his way to set another fire in the rural Charleston County town, Mullen said at a news conference in City Hall.
After watching him pick up a man and take steps to avoid being followed, police pulled over his vehicle and found a container full of gasoline inside, Mullen said.
Charleston County deputies have charged him in connection with arsons in Hollywood in August and September of this year, Mullen said. Charleston police also have evidence tying him to another arson at 48 Montagu St. in Charleston in December 2010, Mullen said.
Speaking to the public, Mullen said, they can breathe easier knowing that at least one person who set fires is in jail.
Boone, who lives on the edge of the fire zone on the peninsula, now faces four arson charges. He is being held at the Charleston County jail, with bail set at $225,000, Mullen said.
Mullen cautioned that the investigation is still in its infancy and much more work needs to be done. He also urged people with information on the fires to come forward and help police.
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley praised the extremely creative and extremely resourceful work of the Peninsula Fire Arson Task Force and thanked its members personally by name. Riley said arson is a very dangerous crime that is very difficult to solve because it often occurs under darkness while people are sleeping.
I dont believe there is a law enforcement agency anywhere that exceeded the determination, the hard work, the diligence and the quality of our arson task force here in Charleston, Riley said.
Chief Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh spoke of the task forces effectiveness, including canvassing neighborhoods and getting the word out on cleaning up porches was an effective tool to thwart the arsonists efforts.
The goal of this group was to stop this issue, he said. We wanted to interrupt what was going on downtown.
He added, Even though there has been an arrest, we cant stress enough that we have on-going investigations. We still need the community to be vigilant. We still need the community to remain vigilant.
The fires have bedeviled investigators and detectives for nearly a decade.
In all, more than 80 suspicious fires have broken out in a tightly packed area of the peninsula bisected by the Septima P. Clark Parkway, better known as the Crosstown.
They began at least in the early 2000s and were set every year after that, according to a Post and Courier analysis. Its unclear whether they were the work of one person, though given the length of time, its plausible that several fire-setters were at work.
The motives for the fires also remain a mystery, but they also have similarities. Nearly all of the fires were set in homes that had been converted into apartments. Many of the apartments were rented by college-age students. Most were older homes, on average 105 years old, though some had been standing since 1835.
They tended to come in waves, often starting in the spring and ending when the cold weather set in. Many were set on porches. In one in three fires, a couch or chair was set on fire. Most were started in the early hours of the morning. More than half erupted between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., and nearly eight in 10 were set after midnight.
They were concentrated in a surprisingly compact area in downtown Charleston the neighborhoods immediately north and south of the Crosstown. Plotted on a map, all but two fires were within 5,000 feet of each other, a relatively short walk.
Boone lives on the edge of the area affected by the arson. He has a lengthy criminal record, with convictions for marijuana possession, grand larceny, criminal domestic violence and receiving stolen goods, according to State Law Enforcement Division records.
Boones father was once described in a 2009 Post and Courier feature as a patriarch of old Charleston and known for his careful construction work on the Calhoun Mansion, 2 South Battery and other famous Charleston homes. His mother, Orelee, is a double-amputee and worked for the Clerk of Court for more than 20 years.
Boones address is listed as 5 Glenwood Ave., which overlooks Allan Park in the Hampton Park Terrace neighborhood. This morning, two older green Ford pickups with tool boxes were parked in the driveway. Orelee came to the door in her wheelchair and said her son, who goes by the name of Kenny, did various construction jobs around the city, including a house that had burned.
Records with the Secretary of States office list Boone as the registered agent for a wholesale tobacco distribution company.
In December, Mayor Joe Riley announced the city was doubling its reward from $25,000 to $50,000 for anyone whose tip helps find and convict those responsible.
The city announced a $25,000 reward in late July, after a suspicious early morning fire occurred at a two-story home on Cannon Street.
Check back with the Post and Courier for updates.

That's on the cloture vote to prevent a fillibuster on the motion to proceed with the bill to the floor for debate, not the bill itself.
On Cloture on the Motion to Proceed (Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to S.649 )
While that's interesting information, what do you propose should be done with this information?
April 13, 2013, 11:57 PM
I know...should have made that plain in the title...fixed on my post title.
I don't have any ambitious intent for the information. I just thought it interesting to share the roll call information. If you feel it serves no purpose, please feel free to delete it.

I suggest people plan to 1) write their senators and either thank them for their nay votes or tell them they are disappointed in their yea votes and urge them not to support the bill. 2) work towards ousting those who voted yea. Obviously that is not too likely in some cases. However, the so called pro gun democrats in swing states such as the senators from MT or Manching who has been a traitor from the start on this need to feel the voters wrath. The same for republicans who voted yea in states that are solidly republican. These people in many states are easier to oust than you think. You do it at the primary and/or causus level. So few people participate that it is easier to carry influence there. People like McCain and Flake (how apt) from AZ, chambliss from GA, Corburn from OK, Graham from SC etc. Only that will send a message to politicians about keeping their grubby hands off of our constitutional rights. The "pro gun" democrats were no surprise (everyone should also thank Arsenal once again for helping Reid get re-elected in what was a close competitive race). I know I know, its not a party issue (but for some reason only democrats lead the charge on gun control and only 2 democrats voted nay on this. The real thing that boils my blood is these rhinos that voted yea. They need to be ousted prior to the general elections. It can be done, see the 2010 campaign against Senator Bennett in UT.

Live Blog: Election night for statewide and legislative races
Update at 10:51 p.m.: Keffer hasn't conceded yet, but the AP already called the race and there is no indication that the result will change.
With that, we're ready to call it a night and kill the live blog, so to speak.
Thank you for joining us, and and thanks to staff writers Danielle Abril, Audrey White and Ray Leszcynski for their contributions.
Good night, everybody.
Update at 10:21 p.m.: With all 55 precincts reporting, Bennett Ratliff appears to have defeated Steve Nguyen for the Republican nomination in House District 115. He won by 353 votes — about a 52-48 split.
Update at 10:00 p.m.: This is an update to an earlier item via DMN's Ray Leszcynski: "Former Rockwall City Council member Cliff Sevier defeated the city's former mayor, Bill Cecil, in a close race for the Republican Precinct 1 Rockwall County Commissioner's seat."
Update at 9:55 p.m.: The AP has called the race for Villalba.
Here's more from Danielle Abril:
Villalba gave a thank-you speech to guests and said the team still has a tough road ahead. He's already preparing to face Democrat Carol Kent in November.
"We, in this room, together can achieve anything," Villalba said to supporters. "Tomorrow we begin work against the Democrats!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Update at 9:49 p.m.: From Audrey White: Keffer said he'll wait until his key Lake Highlands precincts report before he decides whether to concede the race.
Update at 9:47 p.m.: From Staff Writer Danielle Abril:
Villalba is claiming victory. "I have a small announcement to make," he told guests. "We won!"
With more than half the precincts reporting, Villalba is claiming his 11 percent margin is "insurmountable."
"We are the victors tonight," he said. "So taste it and feel it."
To be clear, Danielle reports that Keffer hasn't conceded to Villalba yet.
Update at 9:36 p.m.: More from Audrey at Keffer's party: "Everyone is just eating pie at this point."
I'm projecting that cake will defeat pie in a dessert election.
Update at 9:24 p.m.: You got to look in at Villalba's party HQ. Now, here's a look at Keffer's party via DMN's Audrey White:
At least 60 people turned out for Bill Keffer's watch party at the Highlands Café in Lake Highlands, and a couple dozen remain after 9 p.m. In the meantime, Jeannie Porras, the restaurant's manager, announces the kitchen is closing.
The Highlands Café started seven years ago after 20 investors united to create the kind of family-oriented restaurant they felt was missing from the area. The neighborhood restaurant and the neighborhood candidate are a natural match. Keffer also hosted his primary results party here in May.
"We live down the street," Keffer said. "It's the neighborhood corner restaurant for us. We're good friends with the owners."
Porras, has been in the service industry for many years, said that helping to host the party is right up her alley. She said she was glad the campaign wanted to come back to prepare for tonight's results together.
Update at 9:13 p.m.: Danielle with more:
Villalba's party is cheering "Jason, Jason, Jason!"
"It's not over yet but we are up 11 points," Villalba said to his party. "It's very clear we're likely about to end this night in celebration."
Update at 9:10 p.m.: Staff Writer Danielle Abril reports that the crowd at Jason Villalba's party cheered Cruz's victory and results showing Villalba firmly in the lead.
And here's a look in at Villalba's party, courtesy of Danielle's Twitter account, @daniellereports. Check it out for more photos.
Update at 8:55 p.m.: We have a projected winner in the Texas Supreme Court contest. The AP has declared that attorney John Devine will defeat incumbent Justice David Medina.
Devine has maintained a relatively steady 55-45 margin over Medina tonight. Gov. Rick Perry had endorsed Medina in the race.
Medina's Hispanic name became an issue in the campaign after two Houston attorneys alleged Devine entered the race after telling them, "I can beat a guy with a Mexican last name."
Former Railroad Commissioner Victor Carillo claimed that he lost in 2010 because of his Hispanic name.
Update at 8:49 p.m.: More confidence over at Villalba's party, as staff writer Danielle Abril reports:
Rumors are swirling at Villalba's results watch party that Bill Keffer's party in Lake Highlands has already gone home. Villalba is just waiting for a call from Keffer at this point.
"You don't overcome that," Villalba told one of his supporter about Keffer's early results.
But the rumors are premature, DMN's Audrey White reports:
Bill Keffer arrived at his election party around 8:15 p.m. to greet campaign team members and the waitresses at the Highlands Café, a neighborhood fixture.
He seems unfazed by the disappointing early vote results.
"It just needs to be a surge day," he told one supporter.
Keffer touted his previous experience in the Texas House and his staunch conservative politics as a contrast to his opponent's more moderate approach. He was a representative from 2003 to 2006 in what was then district 107.
"There is a clear philosophical difference – I'm a conservative and he's not," he said.
He said he hopes the election will turn around tonight. If he's elected in November, he says he'll take a fiscally-focused approach.
"As a result of having been down there before, I got to experience how the legislature operated in 2003 when we had a shortfall – we made the entire budget undergo zero based budgeting," he said. "That's a once in a crisis type response, yet I saw how effective it was."
Update at 8:38 p.m.: We have a Rockwall County update from staff writer Ray Leszcynski:
Former Rockwall City Council member Cliff Sevier led the city's former mayor, Bill Cecil, after early voting in the Republican Precinct 1 County Commissioner runoff. Cecil was the leading vote-getter in the May 29 primary.
The winner replaces Commissioner Jerry Wimpee, who announced in November that he would not run for re-election.
Voters in three of Rockwall County's four precincts went to the polls in the Republican runoff. Former County Judge Chris Florance's bid to return to elected office as a justice of the peace was being stopped by former Rockwall councilman Mark Russo as of the early count. Liana Bell Whitten led David Karr in the other justice of the peace race.
Update at 8:34 p.m.: Though the sample size is small, it appears to be a good night to be named "Tincy."
The AP projects that Geraldine "Tincy" Miller will win her race for a seat on the State Board of Education. Miller ran against Gail Spurlock. Miller sat on the board for 26 years before she was ousted in the 2010 primary.
Miller will face Democrat Lois Parrott, a former Dallas school board president, in the general election.
Update at 8:16 p.m.: Two more races called by the AP:
Barry Smitherman will hold on to his spot on the Railroad Commission. Gov. Rick Perry, who endorsed him, appointed Smitherman to fill a vacant spot on the commission last year.
And Dr. Donna Campbell is expected to knock off incumbent state Sen. Jeff Wentworth in the Republican runoff in Senate District 25. That district sits mostly between San Antonio and Austin.
Wentworth had been in the Texas Senate since 1993, and was a House member prior to that.
Update at 8:09 p.m.: The AP is calling it: Christi Craddick will defeat State Rep. Warren Chisum. Craddick, 42, will face Democrat Dale Henry in November.
Update at 7:59 p.m.: You may be wondering where the updates are for Dallas County races. Well, so are we. We've had none for awhile. In the meantime, here is Danielle Abril with more on the early triumphant feeling at Villalba HQ:
Villalba's campaign team credits the personal touch it gave to voters for the early lead Villalba shows against his opponent Bill Keffer in the race for the Republican nomination.
"A person touched every house at least once," said Linda Rogers, grassroots coordinator. "The early numbers are strong and an indication that we will win."
Campaign manager Kim Garza said volunteers knocked on every door in the 26 precincts. They also put out flyers and made calls. The group grew from 15 volunteers in the primary to 115 for the runoff.
"We just had a strong grassroots strategy," she said, adding that Villalba's nonpartisan message worked. "It was risky, but it was true, and he stuck to it."
Update at 7:49 p.m.: DMN's Audrey White sends in this report at Keffer's party:
At the Highlands Café, many of Keffer's supporters are meeting each other for the first time as they wait for the results of the House District 114 Republican runoff.
They're disappointed by the early voting results that showed Keffer trailing Villalba.
Will Vandivort, who has lived in Lake Highlands for 33 years, said he doesn't expect Keffer come back.
"This is a local race, so the early vote is a pretty good barometer of what it's going to look at 10 o'clock," Vandivort said. "Bill is behind. There's not enough uncertainty left to see a margin for him to catch up."
The race, he said, is a battle between North Dallas and Lake Highlands voters.
"There's just more of them than there are of us," Vandifort said.
Update at 7:36 p.m.: Should also point out that Republican Bennett Ratliff came away with an early vote victory over Steve Nguyen in HD-115, which runs through Farmer's Branch and Coppell, as well as the DFW Airport.
But it's tight: Ratliff is at a hair under 54 percent.
Update at 7:25 p.m.: Just got this dispatch from DMN's Danielle Abril:
As early numbers revealed Jason Villalba up 54 percent against opponent Bill Keffer for the House seat in District 114, the crowd of supporters at his watch party in North Dallas erupted in cheers.
Villalba is confident that he will finish strong. "Our community message is resonating," he said. "We care more about people than politics."
Villalba has been criticized for his plans to work across party lines to make a difference. But he said tonight proves the people support his stance.
"We've done it tonight," he said. "the overwhelming support shows we are right on the issues."
Update at 7:18 p.m.: Villalba wins the early vote over Keffer, 54-46. Fewer than 500 votes separate the two.
More Dallas County results: Craddick trounced Chisum in early voting. Not a good sign for Chisum, who beat Craddick in the county in the primary. But keep in mind, it's a statewide race.
Devine and Smitherman are also both early vote winners in Dallas County.
Update at 7:03 p.m.: The polls are now closed. Awaiting results.
Original post at 6:45 p.m.: The polls are about to close. Tensions are running high. Tom Benning has set the scene. The night is young. The mood is right.
It's time to get down — down the ballot, that is.
This blog will keep its watchful eyes on statewide and legislative races. Stay here for updates throughout the night.
Some stuff to watch: The Texas Supreme Court race has taken a racially charged turn. Will Justice David Medina fight off the challenge from attorney John Devine?
Attorney Jason Villalba grabbed some key endorsements, including one from retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Will it be enough to prevail in his feisty battle with former GOP state Rep. Bill Keffer for the HD-114 state House seat?
Will former Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick's daughter Christi take the next step toward creating a new Texas political dynasty? Or will state Rep. Warren Chisum's decades in the oil and gas business pay off in the personal showdown for a spot on the Railroad Commission?
In the other Railroad Commission race, will Comal County Commissioner Greg Parker overcome the Rick Perry-endorsed incumbent Barry Smitherman?
And more! We'll have updates on the way through the night. Dallas Morning News' reporters Audrey White and Danielle Abril will play supporting roles from Keffer's and Villalba's election night parties, respectively.

DNC speaker addresses JCODW at annual fundraiser
January 27, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — Sister Simone Campbell, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention, made a stop in Charles Town Saturday evening after she was invited by the Jefferson County Organization of......
The good Sister is a lefty Catholic. Her organization's website (NETWORK) proudly drops the names of Ted Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson, Barbara Mikulski, Walter Mondale, Joseph Biden, Bill Clinton and, of course, Obama. And it seems to struggle to avoid putting Saint in front of the name of Bryan Hehir, an uber-leftist priest. Also on that website, one can see how gullible or disingenuous (I don't know which) the organization can be regarding abortion. NETWORK strongly supports obamacare and goes out of its way to try to establish that the law does not use any taxpayer funds to support that deadly and evil practice. One cannot find ANY references to the Vatican or the Pope on the Network site, which is a bit curious for an organization that attaches Catholic to everything it does and whose leader is a Catholic nun.

She said, "but your Constitutional right to own a gun is infringing on my Constitutional right for freedom" What a load of crap. Also, calling for bipartisanship and then only speaking at Democratic functions/news/shows certainly isn't setting the example now is it?
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The screen name changed but the inane comments are the same. What a fruitcake. No matter. Another word or two about the good Sister. All of the politicians proudly spotlighted on her website are pro abortionists. Every single one of them is. And, as I all ready said, she deludes herself into believing that obamacare is abortion neutral. This is terribly sad. What greater cause can there be then to oppose the destruction of innocents?

is this a nun, for real? long hair, low neckline, in a casino? wow. hard for an old-liner like me to take her seriously.

"Graft said the fundraiser usually brings in about $2,000 for the organization, but its focus is not always politics and supporting campaigns."
It's really hard to find an honest person, the latter part of this wacko's comment is an outright lie. And you wonder why Shelley keeps getting elected.

"Four shootings -- two of them double homicides -- and a stabbing left 7 people dead Saturday, authorities said. In what appeared to be the last homicide of the day, a 32-year-old man was fatally stabbed about 11:50 p.m. in the South Shore neighborhood on the South Side, police said. The stabbing happened during a domestic argument in the 2500 block of East 73rd Street, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said."
I think this left wing nut posing as a "nun" needs to head to Chicago ASAP. Maybe she and Rahm can figure out how they can protect the forgotten folks in Chicago. Oh,I forgot they don't need their votes.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Chicago authorities say seven people were killed and six wounded in gun violence in one day. Among those killed Saturday was a 34-year-old man whose mother had already lost her three other children to shootings. Police say Ronnie Chambers, who was his mother's youngest child, was shot in the head while sitting in a car."
Four of her children murdered, where is the outrage? I wonder how many of the shooters are NRA members and how many are OBAMA supporters. I think that MSNBC should look into this.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You are proud of speaking at the DNC and on MSNBC and bringing her to Charles Town. She sounds like a Reva Mickey clone, doesn't she. In fact, we are handing out REVA RINGS to put in the noises of misguided democratic left wing liberals that cannot quit spending our tax dollars.

I would bet that the leadership of the JCODW does not come close to representing the views of the majority of Democrat women in Jefferson County. Right or wrong?

Actually, squirmy, the abusive religious were quite left in their preachings and largely homosexual.

Chicago. Gee, that's in Illinois. Didn't the shooters know the law? ALL GUNS are banned in Chicago, not just the scary looking ones. Of course, the law was recently ruled to be unconstitutional but the state was given six months to come up with a constitutional law. Thus, the FULL BAN was in effect when these shootings occurred.

@LordThyGod, That is the sorriest description of a democracy I have ever seen. Oh, and today I joined the NRA just for YOU. I shouldn't have let it expire back in 04 anyway. Thanks.

And another thing. Those wishing for more strict gun laws to make everyone "safer" please feel free to join your liberal pals and pile into the big city of your choosing. The strict gun laws there are already making everyone more free and safe, right?

(DUH-lee) - Noun - A Dullie is a Sharpie pen that has been used so much that the tip is all frazzled and will not write a smooth or fine line.
I've had this same Sharpie for almost 2 years, and I think it would now officially qualify as a Dullie.

"You've always been so kind," Bullock told Leno, choking up. "Even when the film [I was promoting] was horrible and you knew it, you never let me see it in your eyes."
"When I made crazy life decisions, you never questioned," she continued. "You were just always so welcoming."
The procession of guests paying tribute to Leno during his last weeks at the Tonight Show desk has been great for ratings: The show has hit a 15-month high in viewership.
Leno's last show will be Thursday – better stock up on tissues now.

Getting on and off ski lifts seems quite easy. However, disregard for instructions causes 98% of all momentary lift stoppages: falling when getting on or off, unsecured equipment and getting off too early are only a few examples of what may cause an emergency stop. Follow these guidelines and maximize your time on the slopes!
Start off right! Nothing better than a lesson to learn the fundamentals of ski or snowboard. The Learn to Ski and Ride program includes a lesson, a lift ticket and the equipment rental for the day.
The best way to dress for winter is to wear layers. This gives you flexibility to add or remove layers, depending on the weather and your activity.
Know the mountain code of conduct. Be safety conscious. It is your responsibility!

The opposite of a boner. When you are really cold/turned off, your dong will scrunch up so tight that it gets stiff.

When the zipper of a pair of shorts/pants concaves up producing the image of a boner instead of rising but collapsing into itself hence negative.

An Negativeboner happens mainly when a man is exercising and requiring blood flow to go to other part of his body besides his penis. This does not happen to all men. The guy's dick shrinks up to the size it was when he was 3, and sticks straight out, making a prominent small bulge in pants like gym shorts or swimsuits. This happens to men of all sizes (penis wise) and is really embarrassing and aggravating. They mainly occur during high weight or high intensity workouts, or cardio.
Bob was doing 500pound squats in the school gym. all the girls were watching. When he put the weight back, OH NO! he had a Negativeboner and everybody could see how tiny his dick was at that moment. Bob was extremely humiliated and now everyone thinks he has a baby penis. Bob knows his dick is actually a bigger than normal size. He just wishes everybody else knew that...
