C of C students aim to be part of history

Stomping their feet to keep their toes from freezing, blowing into their hands to keep them warm, a group of College of Charleston students waited early Saturday morning for the vans that would take them to the nation's capital. They are about to be part of President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration.

Fighting crime a community effort

Elder James Johnson could sense the anger when he pulled up to the scene of North Charleston's first homicide of the year Jan. 8. A teenager had been gunned down near Mary Ford Elementary School. Tensions ran high. Johnson heard some young men in the crowd talking of going after a person they thought was responsible for Parris Green's slaying. Johnson spread the message that it was better to let police handle the investigation, that vigilante justice wasn't the answer. It worked. Cooler heads prevailed.

Let it snow!

Guy moves down here from Cleveland, and next thing you know, he's bringing the weather with him. After suffering through several snow-free seasons, Tim Dowd was anticipating some accumulation. Friday night, he took matters into his own hands.

We're due for a great president

WASHINGTON â€" Things have changed very little since I left here 20 years ago. The government is a mess. Politics is even messier. The only thing that kept us from running off the rails in the 1980s was a strong dollar, an evil enemy and a guy named Ronald Reagan. Love him or hate him, he was a charismatic president in the right place at the right time.

Charleston Boat Show opens Friday

If you're looking for a deal on a boat, says Jacqui McGuinness Bomar, you won't want to miss this week's 29th annual Charleston Boat Show at the North Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center. Bomar, whose company JBM & Associates runs the show for the Charleston area boat dealers, acknowledges the current economic uncertainty but is hoping for a big show.

Wake defense sends Clemson to first defeat

CLEMSON â€" It's easy to say the No. 10 Clemson Tigers on Saturday were colder than the wintry wall of icicles on nearby Issaqueena Falls. But No. 2 Wake Forest caused this frozen frustration, not bad luck or weather. The Deacons won the Atlantic Coast Conference battle of unbeaten teams, 78-68, by holding Clemson to 33.8 percent shooting before a Littlejohn Coliseum sellout crowd of 10,000. And that was with the Tigers making strides after missing 30 of their first 39 shots.

Cougars escape Upstate with another close victory

GREENVILLE â€" The College of Charleston isn't playing particularly well right now, just well enough to win, and it's hard to argue with that. Two days after surviving 65-63 at Wofford, the Cougars sweated out a 78-71 victory at Furman on Saturday night at Timmons Arena "We were very fortunate at Wofford, and we come in here tonight and

Poof! Second-half magic disappears for Bulldogs

SPARTANBURG â€" Citadel basketball coach Ed Conroy said he couldn't have drawn it up any better. With his team down by two points at Wofford and the final seconds running out, Conroy chose not to call a timeout, and let his Bulldogs play. Cameron Wells drove the lane and whipped a pass to freshman lefty Cosmo Morabbi, wide open in the right corner.

Gamecocks rally versus Vols, but deficit too big to erase

KNOXVILLE, TENN. â€" South Carolina got precisely the sort of effort and intensity it needed Saturday to beat the preseason conference favorite on the road. One problem: It didn't come until midway through the second half. The Gamecocks turned a 19-point first-half deficit into a one-possession game in the final seconds, but Tennessee wiggled away with an 82-79 victory in front of 20,203 fans inside Thompson-Boling Arena.

Circuit City closing

Circuit City has pulled the plug on its hopes for a turnaround. The ailing retailer, the nation's second-largest seller of consumer electronics, said Friday it will begin liquidating all of its 567 U.S. stores, sending as many as 34,000 workers to unemployment lines by March.

Lower-priced songs from iTunes? There's a catch

While some songs will be 30 cents cheaper, popular songs likely will be marked up to $1.29. That price breaks a psychological $1 barrier and prepares consumers for a new strategy by labels to bundle songs, videos and other exclusive content together â€" all in the hopes of reversing years of falling music sales.

New Yahoo CEO seen as key to resurrecting Microsoft deal

Other bold moves that Carol Bartz could make include buying AOL from Time Warner Inc. or spinning off Yahoo’s Asian assets.

Hedge funds, unhinged

Kenneth C. Griffin, who built the Citadel Investment Group into one of the largest hedge funds ever, was riding on top of the world until last summer. He has since seen the value of his funds plunge by roughly $10 billion â€" one of the biggest amounts lost in the hedge fund carnage last year. “It’s part of capitalism,” he says.

Mini of Charleston racing squad looks mighty fast in first races of 2009

Road course drivers in a region that includes South Carolina opened 2009 with a testy ride on a remodeled track. But that didn’t thwart the locally-based Mini of Charleston racing team, which would chalk up a key win at Sebring International Raceway in Florida.

9:55 PM, 1/17/09, Update: Delta 4 blasts off on classified military mission

A heavy-lift Delta 4 rocket carrying a classified National Reconnaissance Office payload blasted off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station this evening, lighting up the night sky for dozens of miles around as it arced away to the East over the Atlantic Ocean.

Delayed twice earlier in the week by technical problems and bad weather, the 235-foot-tall three-core United Launch Alliance rocket roared to life at 9:47 p.m. - two hours and 14 minutes behind schedule because of unspecified problems - and majestically lumbered away from launch complex 37. It was the third launch of a Delta 4 "heavy" since 2004 and the first in 14 months.

Because the payload was classified, United Launch Alliance ended open commentary and provided no details on the climb to space following nose cone fairing jettison seven minutes or so after liftoff. The climb-out appeared normal, but without commentary the ultimate success of the mission could not be assessed.
