Years later in 2011, Reynolds filed a lawsuit against Jones for breaking a clause in their divorce settlement that says neither party will be allowed to speak negatively about their marriage . E!
"I haven't thought about Star Jones in I don't know how long," Cooper said, according to TMZ, stating his mother, Gloria Vanderbuilt actually brought up Jones comments.
The spring 2011 season of Celebrity Apprentice was a catfight for the ages. Jones engaged in a number of head-on battles with co-star Nene Leakes. The ladies constantly traded shady blows before the cameras. "Who f–king died and made you in charge of project managers?" Leakes barked in one episode, according to Us Weekly. She then added for the final send off, "Now where's Barbara Walters?!"
News reports he wanted $50,000 for the breach. Reynolds maintained that Jones' simple line on The Wendy Williams Show, "The wedding was fabulous, but the marriage was kind of a booty," went too far.
According to the Daily News, Jones and Reynolds held their ceremony at New York City's St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church with a massive bridal party of 15 bridesmaids and held a swanky reception at the Waldorf-Astoria. Despite the fairytale beginning, the marriage would come to a fiery crash just four years later.
Supporters of the status quo claim that those costs are justified by the benefits associated with the Jones Act, which include — most importantly — preservation of a robust, competitive domestic shipbuilding industry to undergird U.S. national security. But such claims are farcical.
By forcing more carbon‐intensive surface transportation methods into use, the Jones Act is responsible for creating unnecessary environmental costs. According to the World Shipping Council, maritime shipping “is the world’s most carbon‐efficient form of transporting goods — far more efficient than road or air transport.” 68 Maritime shipping produces approximately 10–40 grams of carbon dioxide to carry one ton of cargo one kilometer. In contrast, rail transport produces 20–150 grams, and trucking — whose tonnage is forecast to grow 44 percent by 2045 according to the Department of Transportation — produces 60–150 grams. 69 According to transportation analysis firm INRIX, the monetary value of carbon emissions caused by vehicles idling in traffic in 2013 was $300 million and by 2030 is expected to rise to $538 million — a total of $7.6 billion over the 17‐year period. 70
Excluding tankers, the ships in the Jones Act fleet currently average 30 years old, fully 11 years older than the average age of a ship in the world merchant fleet of other developed countries. 25. These increasingly decrepit vessels are not only inefficient, but dangerous.
The Jones Act was signed into law on June 5, 1920, less than two years after the end of World War I. The wartime deployment of hundreds of thousands of American troops to Europe, as well as vast quantities of materiel and equipment, had placed enormous demands on the country’s sealift capacity and required the support of foreign‐flagged vessels.3 That dependence on foreigners was seized upon by some in Washington as evidence of a glaring weakness in U.S. national security and a reason to beef up the country’s shipping fleet and shipbuilding capacity.
Although Jones presented the legislation as a national security imperative, various remarks made by the senator at the time betray protectionist, even nationalist, motives:
Supporters of the status quo claim that those costs are justified by the benefits associated with the Jones Act, which include — most importantly — preservation of a robust, competitive domestic shipbuilding industry to undergird U.S. national security. But such claims are farcical. Over the years, U.S. shipbuilding capacity has atrophied, the active fleet has aged — in some cases into obsolescence — and the number of merchant mariners has dwindled.
Meanwhile, Jones accused opponents of the legislation of being more concerned about advancing the interests of foreigners:
Jasper climbs back down the eucalyptus tree and walks to where Laura ’s body is now lying. He tries to untie the knot in the rope around her neck. Charlie is terrified, but he kneels down next to Jasper. Jasper says, “Hey, Charlie,” very casually. Unable to untie the knot, he uses his knife to cut the rope around her neck. He notes that the rope isn’t really a noose at all—the knot isn’t tight enough, suggesting that Laura may not have been hanged at all. Jasper carefully pulls away the rope, revealing that Laura’s neck is covered in dark marks and scratches.
Because Charlie has never smoked before, he puffs his cheeks and sighs, as if to say that he’s smoked too much already . Jasper shrugs and lights a cigarette for himself. Cigarettes function as a symbol of masculinity and machismo here. Jasper, as the more experienced adult of the two, is an experienced smoker.
He asks Jasper where they’re going, and Jasper says that they must keep moving. Jasper adds that he’s seen Mad Jack many times, and Charlie believes him. When Charlie asks Jasper what Mad Jack looks like, Jasper ignores him and walks on.
Charlie is attracted to Jasper without knowing anything about him, and it’s difficult, as of now, to see exactly why this is. One hint Silvey gives is that Charlie is a voracious reader, so he may be romanticizing Jasper, treating him like a rugged character from one of his beloved Southern books. Charlie is also aware, Silvey suggests, that Jasper doesn’t deserve his reputation for being a criminal or a vandal.
Jasper Jones: Chapter 1. LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Jasper Jones, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work. An unidentified narrator says that a young man named Jasper Jones has come to his window. The narrator has no idea why, but guesses that Jasper is desperate and in trouble.
Jasper seems to be the “voice of reason” in this scene. Charlie is too distracted and frantic to concentrate on anything for more than a few seconds. Jasper, by contrast, seems to be in control of his emotions. He has the will and the determination to do what is necessary—or at least what he thinks is necessary.
Charlie, still panicking at the sight of the dead girl, asks Jasper if he killed Laura. Jasper looks confused and disdainful, and denies that he has anything to do with the girl’s death. Still, Jasper says, Laura died at the same place in the bushes that he has been using as a makeshift shelter. He points to Laura’s face and says that someone beat her before she died. Charlie feels as if he’s living in a nightmare. He looks at Laura’s body and thinks that it’s nothing but an empty bag now.
