Geothermal energy is a kind of power than makes use of the earth's heat. In some areas of the world geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years. The earth's core is very hot. It has a temperature so hot that it can melt rock. In areas with lots of volcanoes molten rock can be found very close to the surface.
For this reason geothermal power stations can be found in Italy, New Zealand, Iceland, Japan, the Philippines and the United States. These are all areas that contain volcanic rock. The intense heat from the rocks is used to generate energy and electricity and sometimes also for heating. But how does geothermal energy work?
Under the ground hot rock can be found. These rocks heat water to produce steam. By drilling holes down into the hot rock the steam is released. The steam can be purified and used to power turbines which in turn drive electric generators. Water may be pumped into the area of hot rock or natural groundwater may be used to produce the required geothermal energy.
To achieve this the water is pumped down an "injection well". Then it filters through the cracks in the rocks where they are at a high temperature. The water then returns via the "recovery well" under pressure. As it arrives at the surface it forms steam which is then purified for use as geothermal energy.
The extent to which geothermal energy is useful depends on how hot the water gets. This is influenced by the heat of the rocks and the amount of water pumped into the area. If the rocks are not hot enough or cool down naturally this presents a problem for geothermal power stations.
Geothermal energy has several advantages and disadvantages. One main advantage is that producing it does not pollute the environment or add to the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Such power stations use little space so there is little impact on the land and ecology. Geothermal power stations do not require any fuel to run. Once the plant is built the energy is nearly free.
The disadvantages of geothermal energy are that there are not that many areas in the world where a power station can be built. To do so you require a specific type of hot rock. It also needs to be at the right depth for drilling purposes. The type of rock above the site needs to be easily penetrable. Such power stations may also run out of heat for decades. Sometimes toxic gases and minerals force their way to the surface.
Where geothermal energy is used it has proven to be a useful and cheap alternative for fossil fuels. Iceland is almost entirely powered but geothermal energy. However, clearly, it is not going to be the solution for countries that have no volcanic rock to drill. Such areas of the world are going to have to find alternative ways to create clean, renewable energy resources for residential and industrial use.

How Waivers Work, or zOMG THEY'RE TRAIDING CLIFF LEE
Since Jeff Passan of Yahoo tweeted today that Cliff Lee has been placed on waivers, it seems like a good time to review how the waiver process works. Or we could all freak out. Your call. "Most players are made available via the waiver wire even if the team has no intention of trading them...There is no risk in placing someone on waivers because these are revocable, meaning the team can revoke a claim and pull the player back if they want to keep him on their roster."

At least in this game, Doc should have put those guys in the last 6 minutes instead of the last 2.5 - I honestly believe that both of these guys, especially Troy, can contribute!!! Thoughts?
Thinking about it, it might not even matter - what's going to happen when Shaq comes back? Does JO come off the bench with Baby and Shaq moves into the starting role? Would make the most sense right? Shaq & Baby would be too slow together, no?

Big leaguers honored with postage stamps
- Written by Donald Hunt
- Published in Baseball
Major League Baseball fans will have a chance to celebrate their favorite players as a group or individually. Due to the overwhelming response after the recent announcement to recognize Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby, Willie Stargell and Ted Williams collectively on a single sheet of 20 Forever stamps, the U.S. Postal Service announced that it will issue sheets of 20 stamps honoring each player individually. The events will be held in Cooperstown and the cities where each one played.
"We've heard from Indians, Pirates, Red Sox and Yankee fans and we're stepping up to the plate to immortalize their revered players individually," said U.S. Postal Service Stamp Services Manager Stephen Kearney in a statement. "We have a limited quantity of individual player stamp sheets ready to fill all preorders now for shipment on July 21 — with these orders getting top priority," he added. "It will be interesting to learn which of the four players sells the most individual sheets. Orders received for individual player stamp sheets will be accepted and honored through August 31, 2012, even if it requires additional printing."
Kearney noted that the individual player stamp sheets will be sold only in limited quantities beginning July 21 at select post offices in Boston, Cleveland, Cooperstown, New York and Pittsburgh. Customers can order them between now and August 31.
DiMaggio (1914–1999) was known as the "Yankee Clipper." He was also known for his amazing 56-game hitting streak in 1941 — the season of "the Streak." DiMaggio led the New York Yankees to 10 pennants and nine World Series titles.
Doby (1923–2003) was the first African American to play in the American League, joining the Cleveland Indians shortly after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the National League. The seven-time all-star was a great hitter and centerfielder. He set an American League outfielder record for 164 consecutive errorless games.
Stargell (1940–2001) led the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates to a World Series championship. The seven-time all-star hit 475 career home runs.
Williams (1918–2002) of the Boston Red Sox served in the military during World War II and the Korean War. The last major league player to hit over .400 for a single season, in 1941, Williams won six American League batting championships and four home run titles. Despite the breaks in his career, Williams hit .344 over 19 years, including 521 home runs.
Fans can pre-order the stamps now by going to www.usps.com/play-ball.

Well, the 'horns game is not on national TV this weekend. The good news is that it will be on Fox Sports Net, which is a collection of regional stations. Most everybody gets at least their regional FSN channel on their cable system and on Dish and DirecTV. You can also buy a DirecTV package to get them all.
Almost all of the regional FSN stations will cover the Texas/Iowa St game this weekend. The ones that WILL carry it are: (number is DirecTV channel)
642 CSN Mid-Atlantic
646 FS South
652 RSNa (where ?)
654 FS Florida
659 FSN Pittsburgh
663 FS Detroit

692 FS West So-Cal, NV, HI)
if you live in Ohio, these two stations will cover the 'Big XII game TBA':
660 FS Ohio
661 FS Cincinatti
If you don't know which is your local FSN region, use the Regional Lookup Tool: Regional Lookup
Also - if you have DirecTV but the game is not carried in your local FSN region you can buy the DirecTV Sports Package for $13/month and get all of the FSN channels. You can do this online and cancel (by phone) a month later...that's actually a pretty good deal to get the game.
And: if you still want to watch ABC/ESPN on Saturday, here is their regional map:

HSE consultation on sharps regulations
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published a consultation document containing draft "health and safety (sharp instruments in healthcare) regulations" with a view to implementing the European Union council directive 2010/32/EU on the prevention of sharps injuries in the hospital and healthcare sector, which is due to come into force in member states in May 2013 [1].
The proposed regulations would introduce explicit provisions relating to the prevention of sharps injuries in healthcare, including: safe use and disposal; information and training of healthcare workers; and actions to be taken by employers following injury, including post-injury investigation and post-exposure prophylaxis where appropriate.
The regulations would apply to all "healthcare employers" (ie those whose main activity is managing, organising or providing healthcare), which would include hospitals, GPs, dental surgeries ambulance services and care homes, and in some cases their sub-contractors if they are involved in providing laundry, cleaning or waste disposal services.
Significantly they would introduce the same "hierarchy of control" as exists in other health and safety legislation requiring, as far as reasonably practicable, that alternative, safer devices are used. The consultation document's impact assessment includes a presentation of the evidence base underpinning proposals for implementing the directive. This stresses that "safer sharps" are "one control measure in the Directive that is intended to be considered alongside others (such as elimination and prevention through safer working practices) when assessing the risk". HSE has amended the wording of the directive, in the process of transposition, so as to make clear that measures such as use of safer devices and banning of recapping would not be absolute requirements of the proposed regulations.
1. Consultation on proposed regulations to implement Council Directive 2010/32/EU on preventing sharps injuries in the hospital and healthcare sector (CD244), see HSE website at: http://www.hse.gov.uk/consult/condocs/cd244.htm. Further information: Martin Dilworth, HSE, 5S2 Redgrave Court, Merton Road, Bootle, Liverpool L20 7HS; tel: 0151 951 4335; email: firstname.lastname@example.com. The consultation began on 8 August 2012 and ends on 8 November 2012.
Increase in hepatitis E cases in England and Wales
Hepatitis E virus infections in the past have been associated with travel to endemic areas. More recently, indigenous cases have been increasingly recognised in developed countries, including in England and Wales [1,2].
The number of reference laboratory confirmed cases in England and Wales, which was stable prior to 2010/11, has substantially increased since then (see table); non-travel associated cases account for most of the increase and are now in the majority (56%) (of which more than 60% are male and over 50 years of age, with no geographical clustering).Enhanced surveillance for hepatitis E in England and Wales: reference laboratory* confirmed cases
Non-travel** (%)
62 (38%)
78 (44%)

152 (56%)

As in mainland Europe, the genotype 3 virus found in human infections in England and Wales is very similar to that found in swine [3]. Food sources and risk factors, including consumption of pig products and contact with pigs, have been reported [4,5]. With evidence of a similar virus circulating in pigs, routes of transmission to humans in England and Wales are likely to be zoonotic. In addition, a recent study has shown 10% of pork sausages sampled at point of sale from UK retailers were positive for hepatitis E [6], suggesting that these products could be a potential vehicle for hepatitis E virus transmission.
HPA is currently investigating with colleagues in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Food Standards Agency and the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency.

Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Stoke-on-Trent
Public and environmental health experts in the West Midlands are continuing to investigate a legionnaires' disease outbreak at Stoke-on-Trent after identifying the probable source as a hot tub on display in a store in the town. Appropriate control measure have now been put in place. As at 10 August, the number of confirmed cases associated with the outbreak was 21, including two fatal cases.
In the meantime, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), having reviewed significant outbreaks in Great Britain over the past 10 years [2], has issued a safety notice reminding operators of cooling towers and evaporative condensers - the most common source of such events - of the need for effective and consistent monitoring of water quality and the importance of responsibilities being assigned to named individuals with proper management oversight of such facilities [3].

Summary results of the second national survey of abnormal prion prevalence in archived appendix specimens
In April 2008, the Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC) considered available prevalence data for variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) in the British population and advised that a second appendix survey, using the same approach as a previous appendix tissue survey [1] on samples from the 1941 to 1985 birth cohort, be undertaken to further refine the estimate for the prevalence of subclinical infection [2].The second unlinked anonymous survey of the prevalence of abnormal prion protein in archived appendix tissues has now been completed and this summary provides an update to the interim results published in September 2011 [3,4].
The survey examined appendices by immunohistochemistry from operations conducted between 2000 and 2012 and collected from 41 hospitals throughout England. Abnormal prion accumulation was detected within the follicular dendritic cells of 16 appendices out of 32,441 suitable samples examined. None of the positive appendices have come from the 176 known vCJD cases in the UK. In line with the interim findings, the final overall prevalence estimate, 493 per million (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 282 to 801 per million), remained statistically consistent with results from the earlier appendix survey (237 per million, 95%CI 49 to 692 per million) which examined samples from operations performed between 1995 and 1999 [1]. The prevalence estimates by birth cohort were 733 per million (95% CI: 269 to 1596 per million) in those born between 1941 and 1960 and 412 per million (95% CI: 198 to 758 per million) in those born between 1961 and 1985: these results were also in line with the interim findings [3,4].
The survey was conducted by a collaboration of the HPA, the Department of Neurodegenerative Diseases at the UCL Institute of Neurology, the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency, the National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Research and Surveillance Unit, the Histopathology Department of Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, and the MRC Prion Unit.
The final survey results have been considered by the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Risk Assessment Sub-Group of the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens, the successor to SEAC [5]. In summary, the estimated prevalence range largely overlaps that from the first survey, but is narrower with a higher central estimate (around 1 in 2000 compared with around 1 in 4000). The new survey also demonstrates the presence of prion protein across a wider birth cohort than previously.
The hypothesis that the prevalence of abnormal prions found in both appendix surveys to date is linked to the epidemic of BSE in cattle in Britain can be tested directly by studying further appendix samples archived prior to the BSE outbreak and samples from those born in 1996 or later by which time measures had been put in place to protect the food chain [5].

Individuals in North Africa, Europe and West Asia are rewriting the history of their countries as "people power" takes center stage. This "people power" has always existed within us; history is written by those who recognize the power of the human dream of freedom and who set about making that dream a reality, against all odds.

What if they held an election and nobody came? That is exactly what happened on Sunday, June 21, when Haiti tried to hold run-offs for 12 of 30 Haitian Senate seats. Polling stations around Haiti had even fewer voters than they had on April 19, when Haitians massively boycotted the election's first round by respecting the Lavalas Family party's call for "Operation Closed Doors, Empty Streets." The CEP had disqualified the party, Haiti's largest, on arbitrary and unjustified technicalities.

Charlottesville, VA (Sports Network) - Kyle Singler had 21 points to help fifth-ranked Duke to a 67-49 win over Virginia at John Paul Jones Arena.
Jon Scheyer had 20 points and five steals for the Blue Devils (25-4, 12-2 ACC), who have won eight straight.
Duke visits Maryland on Wednesday in what will go a long way in deciding the ACC regular season crown.
Jerome Meyinsse had 21 points and seven rebounds for the Cavaliers (14-13, 5-9), who have dropped seven straight games.
The Blue Devils held the lead from the beginning as the team scored 10 of the first 12 points with Scheyer's three-ball making it a 10-2 game a bit over four minutes in.
After Meyinsse put in a jumper for Virginia, Duke scored the next 10 points for a 20-4 lead on a Singer three-point play.
The Blue Devils led by as many as 17 points in the first half and took a 35-21 lead into the break.
Virginia didn't get its first field goal until five minutes into the second half, and by that point Duke had an 18-point lead.
From that point Duke continued to hold onto a significant lead as it cruised to the finish line.
Virginia plays at Boston College on Wednesday...Duke owns a commanding 111-48 series lead over Virginia...Duke shot 48 percent in the game while Virginia made just 31.4 percent of its shots.

I have a solution for the Emergency Center.December 8, 2010 at 6:22 a.m.
Place it with the 911 operations area and if the Emergency coordinator needs to communicate with someone in the area he can yell across the room to the dispatchers for a link out.
There! A couple of million saved.
bs-maybe i misunderstood. i guess you just like to play the devil's advocate.December 7, 2010 at 10:39 p.m.
jsutataxpayer, first of all i'm sure that you are more than "just" a taxpayer. you should give yourself more credit than that.
"Who should be concerned by over $220 million in capital spending in a down economy? Only those who have to pay for it over the next 18 years. That includes me."
i believe that the $220 million in capital investment in a down economy is a good thing. what good would it do to take money out of the economy? you act like the money is going to go into a few select pockets in town, never to be seen again.
who do you think works for CL Thomas, New Distributing, Krueger or anyone else you may want to name from the VEDC membership? it's your neighbors. other taxpayers. the people actually doing the work and collecting the paychecks. do the owners/shareholders make a good living? you bet, but i'm sure that they all have earned it. building thier business.
do you own your own business or are you a working stiff like the rest of us?December 7, 2010 at 10:36 p.m.
holein1: "...the usual "these crooks" type we get from justataxpayer and bs."
I said, "Either I'm overlooking something, the story left something out, or the county is dragging their feet for unseen reasons." How is this calling anyone a "crook"? It seems like it may be a combination of the three possibilities — I'm missing something, this is inadequate reporting, AND the county has reasons/plans which aren't readily available to the public.
Frankly, I think VicAd should take the lead on providing the Commissioners Court minutes in PDF format on their website so we can view the bid request, submitted bids, alternative plans, etc so we don't have to speculate when we're not given enough information.
Don't you have a natural curiosity to know why something like the following doesn't add up:
The article says, "The county was hoping to pay for the new center with $1.455 million in grants, plus about $200,000 from the county and city." That's $1.655M in funds and the low bid was $1.474M, but Judge Pozzi said, "We obviously do not have the required funding to do everything right now."
If you know the answer to this riddle, please enlighten us. If you don't, wouldn't you like to know?December 7, 2010 at 8:54 p.m.
jared - thanks for sharing a view and experience that is different from the usual "these crooks" type we get from justataxpayer and bs. the only angles those guys seem to have are ones where we are being fleeced.
perhaps the reason for the high cost for the chairs has to do with OSHA compliance for a municipality. i'm not an expert but i'm sure there are plenty of "musts" a city or county has to do when making purchases for employees.December 7, 2010 at 5:04 p.m.
@BSspotter and @justataxpayer, I am all for making minutes open record. This is our county that is supported by her citizen tax dollars.
I just know that there is seldom a competitive bid without alternates of some sort or fashion. For example, the owner may want a better A/C unit and requests a price that be separate from a bid that includes a unit that will function for the time being but be out grown in the near future. This is just an example, I don't the details of this particular project.
justataxpayer, thanks for the kind comments; if you heard my confession, you may have a different opinion ;) but that stays in the box!December 7, 2010 at 3:24 p.m.
You're probably right, but whatever the case, this leaves one wanting for more information. If the meeting minutes were available online, we'd have our answers.December 7, 2010 at 2:57 p.m.
The county may be refering to the prices of the alternates. Sometimes, an owner will have a number of alternates that can affect the base bid. It is possible that the prices of the contractors mentioned in the article are based on the base bid price and the county may be seeking one, some, or all the alternates and those are what may be out of the price range at this time. I don't know the details in this particular project, just speculating from previous bidding experience.
It is possible that the low base bidder on any project may not be selected because the owner may choose to use the alternates which may make the low base bidder a higher bidder for the overall price including chosen alternates.December 7, 2010 at 1:23 p.m.
Am I missing something?
The article says, "The county was hoping to pay for the new center with $1.455 million in grants, plus about $200,000 from the county and city."
That's $1.655M in funds and the low bid was $1.474M, but Judge Pozzi said, "We obviously do not have the required funding to do everything right now." It's not obvious to me. Either I'm overlooking something, the story left something out, or the county is dragging their feet for unseen reasons.
VicAd: "Dean said she is talking with the contractors to see what can be done to bring their prices more in line with what the county anticipated."
Is justataxpayer right — are they looking for a way to give this contract to Clegg Services?December 7, 2010 at 12:07 p.m.
plainboring: "Do they even have a plan to keep water out of the basement when it floods...?"
Yes, it's called an emergency expenditure when it floods.
It's as easy as...December 7, 2010 at 11:48 a.m.
1) PROBLEM: Build an emergency command center in a location likely to fail during an emergency

Do they even have a plan to keep water out of the basement when it floods from a CAT 5 hurricane? Something tells me they did not look at the 1999 flooding down there. I don't think it would be amusing to watch over $1 million worth of infrastructure to be destroyed by water pouring into the basement.December 7, 2010 at 9:16 a.m.
What does a $1,000 chair look like! To me it looks like to much money for one chair! Are they encrusted with diamonds and gold to cost so much? Shame on you Victoria leaders! Shame on you. I could understand paying $100 for a nice chair or even less. My question is where did they purchase a chair for $1,000? I bet it was not in the city of Victoria! And they tell ME to SHOP Victoria.

From May 5th, Animals Asia will convert a bear bile farm in Nanning, China, into a sanctuary following a request by the farm to rescue and care for its 130 bears. Mr Yan Shaohong, General Manager of the bear farm, has described the decision as one fuelled by the desire for the company to get out of the increasingly unpopular and ultimately unprofitable industry.
Much animal suffering is not immediately obvious and visible. They are forced to suffer long, arduous journeys and extended periods tied up, chained or caged - with no freedom of movement. Housed in temporary, transportable accommodation, it is simply not possible for circuses to provide an appropriate environment for wild animals.
The Grand National is - by design, no less - an accident waiting to happen. Forty horses compete for space on the 4.5mile course fraught with obstacles, jumps and dangerous terrain. Last year, only 17 horses - fewer than half - managed to reach the finishing post. And while the race organisers were quick to highlight an unusual absence of fatalities, they failed to mention that two horses were killed in the run-up to the event earlier that week. More than three dozen horses who might otherwise have been grazing and running in the fields have been killed at Aintree in the last 50 years.
This is what a great number of cosmetic companies are actually saying both on their packaging and on their websites when you read a message stating: "not tested on animals", or "product not tested on animals" and even "cruelty free". It is difficult to believe, but I am afraid that I am the harbinger of bad news!
Anyone who takes Muslims and Jews to task for brutal methods of slaughter yet eats meat regardless of the suffering involved is no less callous. Does the matter of a few more seconds of suffering as they are slaughtered make much difference to the animals who, during their entire short lives, have been treated with unthinking savagery?

From Staff Reports
Kokomo Tribune
---- — State police are warning people about a yet another scam filtering around the area involving state troopers.
"It seems as quickly as you hear about one scam it disappears and another one starts," Sgt. Trent Smith of the Indiana State Police in Indianapolis said in a media release.
Smith said the latest scam involves an individual claiming to be from a law enforcement agency. The scammer typically threatens to arrest the victim if they don't pay fines for some fabricated crime or debt. To make matters worse the crooks often have some personal information about the victim, which makes them seem more legitimate, said Smith.
Recently state police have received complaints about this scam.
One state police detective investigating a complaint turned the tables on the scammer and called him back. The man claiming to work for the Indiana State Police didn't answer so the detective left a message and the man called back. The scammer proceeded to tell the detective that he had a warrant for his arrest. He explained that in order to take care of it and avoid being arrested at work, the detective would need to buy two Green Dot prepaid cards for $1,000 and then call him back with the account numbers. The conversation lasted more than 30 minutes and ended once the scammer realized he was talking to the police.
The investigation in this case is ongoing, but more than likely it will turn into a dead end, said Smith.
In this scam case, as with most, the calls are originating from cell phones all over the U.S. and tracking down the 21st century con artist is no easy task. State police feel a well-informed public is the best defense in combating scammers and remind everyone that an influx of this type of crime is often seen during the holiday season.

A guy in my first year 10 team H2H mixer got the draft time wrong and missed the draft, which led to him drafting this incredibly unbalanced roster:
C: Geovany Soto
1B: Albert Pujols
2B: Michael Cuddyer
3B: Pablo Sandoval
SS: Dee Gordon
OF: Carlos Gonzalez
OF: Andrew McCutcheon
OF: Desmond Jennings
UTIL: Mark Teixeira
UTIL: Jay Bruce
SP: Matt Cain
SP: Dan Hudson
RP: Drew Storen
RP: Huston Street
P: Gio Gonzalez
P: Josh Beckett
BN: Coco Crisp
BN: Yubel Escobar
BN: Mitch Moreland
BN: Jonny Cueto
BN: Ryan Vogelsong
Since seeing his team, he's made it well known that he's looking to trade one of Tex or Pujols, which I look at as a great oppurtunity given my team:
C: Matt Wieters
1B: Kevin Youkilis
2B: Brandon Phillips
3B: Evan Longoria
SS: Starlin Castro
OF: Ryan Braun
OF: Hunter Pence
UTIL: Paul Goldschmidt
UTIL: Jesus Montero
SP: Adam Wainwright
RP: Jose Valverde
RP: Kenley Jansen
P: Matt Moore
P: Cory Luebke
P: Clay Bucholz
BN: Billy Butler
BN: Kendrys Morales
BN: Addison Reed
BN: Jonny Venters
BN: Brandon McCarthy
I waited a long time on 1B at the draft, only for Youk's owner to inexplicably drop him the day after. I got him off waivers, but am not his biggest fan, so I'd love to get one of these two to upgrade my 1B position. I tried this trade, which was rejected:
Youkilis, Castro, Wainwright for Pujols, Gordon, Morrow
So, basically, I'm looking for trade ideas to pry a 1B away from him. He said he wants MI and SP.

The White House has officially released a location for President Barack Obama's visit to Binghamton. As expected, Binghamton University will be one of the stops along his two-day bus tour. During the trip, the President is expected to lay out his plan for affordable higher education for middle class families. YNN's Melissa Kakareka has the latest from Binghamton University.
VESTAL, N.Y. -- Excitement is building at Binghamton University now that the White House has confirmed President Barack Obama will visit the campus next Friday.
"To have the President of the United States visit Binghamton University on his tour to talk about how higher education can impact the middle class is extremely exciting. Very proud, looking forward to it," said Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger. "Everyone's really excited and they just can't wait for him to get here. They are also shocked," said BU Student Christina Seung.
The White House said the President will take part in a town hall style event at Binghamton University. However, the university is still waiting for specifics about the venue and the size of the gathering. It is also unclear who will get to attend.
Many students are hoping for a chance to see the President. "I actually was hoping to come because it seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Michelle DiGiacomo, a Binghamton University student. "If I was able to go to a town hall meeting, it would be awesome to just hear feedback from other people and hear him respond to their questions," said Brittnay Corcco, a Binghamton University student.
Stenger said he feels the university is an appropriate venue for the President's bus tour, which will also take him to Buffalo, Syracuse and Scranton.
"Providing an affordable education and a quality education for students is one of our features and I think that's probably why he, his staff, and the researchers that went into this chose Binghamton University," said Stenger.
Stenger said he is looking forward to showing the President everything Binghamton University has to offer.
"We hope everything goes very smoothly and we hope our campus is friendly and receptive to him, I know they will be, and that we have a great turnout and that he enjoys himself here and that he feels happy about being here," said Stenger.
University officials say they expect to have more information about the President's visit in the next few days.
As far as preparing for his visit, the schools says it will follow whatever instructions and protocols are laid out by the White House.

News: Hell Rell On Lil Mama Stage-Crashing His Set, "I Might Snuff Her" [Video]
Monday, Oct 5, 2009 5:10PM
Dipset associate Hell Rell has become the latest person to weigh-in on last month's Video Music Awards 2009 stunts and said Lil Mama's on-stage rush may have ended violently if done to him.
While not promoting violence toward women, Rell said his natural reaction to somebody interrupting his performance could result in a fight.
"It was weird, you don't do sh*t like that," Rell said in an interview. "You know how much long Jay-Z and Alicia [Keys] were rehearsing for that? Weeks, probably a month. For her to jump up there and interrupt the performance, it was crazy...I might [have] snuff her because I don't know who it is. I'm paranoid, I think somebody in the crowd trying to rob me. I might snuff her. I might. No disrespect. I wouldn't know who she is. Anybody jumping on stage standing, I might snuff her. That sh*t, come from two different worlds. They [would] be like 'Ruggah is a foul n*gga, the n*gga snuffed Lil Mama.' I like Lil Mama." (Vlad TV)
Jay-Z previously broke his silence on Lil Mama's stage crash in an interview last month.
"And I'm cool with her being excited and all that but you have to understand, people put in work to make that performance happen, that took weeks," Hov told radio personality Angie Martinez. "I was a little angry to be honest, but what I'ma do, fight Lil Mama? [laughs]" (Hot 97)
Despite appearing calm on-stage, early reports claimed Jay addressed his issues with MTV staff regarding Lil Mama's show-stealing move.
How mad was Jay-Z when rapper Lil Mama muscled into his duet with Alicia Keys at the MTV Video Music Awards? Though he tried to stay cool onstage, a backstage source tells us, "He went ballistic. He was screaming at the MTV producers about the lack of security. He apparently thought at first she was just a fan. Beyonce finally calmed him down." (New York Daily News)
While Mama did not initially appear alongside the duo, she did step on the stage towards the end of their performance.
Around the end of Jay-Z's performance of 'Empire State of Mind' with Alicia Keys, rapper and 'America's Best Dance Crew' judge Lil Mama hopped up on stage and for a few seconds was standing on the side dancing. Jay-Z at one point patted her on the leg as a hint to go back to her seat, but Mama didn't get the message. (Pop Eater)

What is mentioned above regarding cost and quality of courses given online is true, but the students will not have the college environment experience, which is a significant part of going to college. We will have a generation that will lack the face to face experience, such traits are needed in negotiations of different kinds of subjects from purchasing a vehicle to negotiations between politicians.

Anything that lowers the outrageous cost of a college education has my vote.
I think this is one of only five countries in the world that doesn't provide a free college education to qualified students. These days, a graduate degree is a necessity, especially for all the professions in new technologies and sciences.
It borders on criminal that medical doctors leave med school with millions of dollars in student loans. In Mexico, if a student qualifies to get into med school, the government pays for it. The trade-off is that he graduate must work ina hospital for the poor, at minimum wage, for two years. And Mexico is a Third World Country!
The situation we have with overpaid college administrators, who increase tuition twice a year and then give themselves raises, is not sustainable. Let the internet eliminate these financially burdensome people.

And as the internet eliminates financially burdensome people (is that how you view the teaching community...be careful as that finger may point at you sooner than you think YOU TOO will be replaced by technology). And what will we do with all those people who did not study CS and programming? What jobs will be left for the many? Digging, no robots will take care of that. Watch out where technology goes...we are eliminating our usefulness as human beings.

I didn't need this analysis to know that Franken and the Democrats stole that seat. Coleman originally won by over 700 votes. Franken then "won" on the recount by over 300 votes. That's over a thousand votes "miscounted" I don't believe it now, and I didn't believe it then. 1000 votes were not "miscounted". They were MANUFACTURED. But it's nice to know that even the libs can't fight York's analysis. As if they care.

In the eyes of the Obama administration, most Democratic lawmakers and left-leaning editorial pages across the country, voter fraud is a problem that doesn't exist. Allegations of fraud, they say, are little more than pretexts conjured up by Republicans to justify voter ID laws designed to suppress Democratic turnout.
That argument becomes much harder to make after reading a discussion of the 2008 Minnesota Senate race in "Who's Counting?", a new book by conservative journalist John Fund and former Bush Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky. Although the authors cover the whole range of voter fraud issues, their chapter on Minnesota...

Rosemary was well known to ancient practitioners. It was an herb known for strengthening the memory and helping the brain. Eventually, it also became associated with the fidelity of lovers, and was presented to wedding guests as a gift. In 1607, Roger Hacket said, "Speaking of the powers of rosemary, it overtoppeth all the flowers in the garden, boasting man's rule. It helpeth the brain, strengtheneth the memorie, and is very medicinable for the head. Another property of the rosemary is, it affects the heart."
Rosemary was often cultivated in kitchen gardens, and was said to represent the dominance of the lady of the house. One would assume that more than one "master" sabotaged his wife's garden to assert his own authority! This woody plant was also known to provide delicious flavoring for game and poultry. Later, it was used in wine and cordials, and even as a Christmas decoration.
Roman priests used rosemary as incense in religious ceremonies, and many cultures considered it a herb to use as protection from evil spirits and witches. In England, it was burned in the homes of those who had died from illness, and placed on coffins before the grave was filled with dirt.
For magical use, burn rosemary to rid a home of negative energy, or as an incense while you meditate. Hang bundles on your front door to keep harmful people, like burglars, from entering. Stuff a healing poppet with dried rosemary to take advantage of its medicinal properties, or mix with juniper berries and burn in a sickroom to promote healthy recovery. In spellwork, rosemary can be used as a substitute for other herbs such as frankincense.

The reporting party told officers they heard someone shoot something near Tayberry Ave. and Legacy St.Ben Schumacher, communications specialist for the Sioux Falls School District, said Discovery Elementary was prepared to lock down if police gave indication that a threat was present. Sioux Falls Police Public Information Officer Sam Clemens said the shooting suspects were actually three juveniles shooting fireworks out of a vehicle. They face possible citations, but no arrests will be made, Clemens said.

Here is why past cheating is revelant to this season. When the Colts started off their season 13-0, everybody was up in arms because Dungy said an undefeated season was not one of their goals, that the goal was to win the Super Bowl. He was exactly right on that point. For a team to suddenly go from not winning a Super Bowl to winning a Super Bowl undefeated would be a huge leap considering all of the accompaning pressure that would go with an undefeated season. However, if you have already won 3 Super Bowls, the amount of pressure on you is reduced considerably. If the Pats failed in their quest, well, they still have 3 Super Bowl trophies. If Belicheck had said to his team that their goal was to go undefeated without any prior Super Bowl titles, his team would have thought he was nuts. But if you already have 3 titles, you have that experience to draw from when pursuing the undefeated season.
Even if they complete the undefeated season, the whole Patriot dynasty will be questioned and talked about for decades because of the alleged and proved cheating. I would not be surprised to see a book or books come out from former Pats players and employees documenting what they knew about the Pats and their cheating. In this day and age, money talks, and everybody is going to try to profit from the Pats undefeated season.
The stance taken by the NFL will only increase scrutiny on this story. When reporters smell blood in the water, they will always try to be first with the story. All of the love they have shown for the Pats by ignoring this story will be forgotten when careers can be advanced and money can be made by being the first to find out events and report on the story.
So, after the game is over, let's all sit back and watch these events unfold. That "undefeated" season will be talked about constantly, it just may not be in the way Pats fans want it to be discussed.

Metro's Chief Safety Officer is leading the investigation into a deadly overnight accident inside a section of the Red Line tunnel.
Crews who had been welding sections of track together describe a sudden loud noise, then fire. It's not clear yet whether a fluid leak, or a mechanical issue is to blame, but investigators say it caused a 40 foot section of rail to move, striking a Metro track worker, a supervisor and a contract worker.
All three were taken to the hospital just after midnight with serious injuries. The contractor was later pronounced dead. 41 year old Harold Ingram of Richmond, VA was an employee of Holland Company.
In a statement, WMATA said in part, "Following the incident, all Red Line track work was suspended, and a safety "stand down" was ordered to brief Red Line crews on the incident, offer counseling services, and reinstruct employees on safety procedures."
The work Ingram and the Metro employees were performing was part of a $5.5 billion project, the largest reconstruction effort since Metro was built back in the early 1970's.
The welding accident occurred along the outbound track, about 400 feet from the Union Station platform. Both the Tri-State Oversight Committee and National Transportation Safety Board were notified.
Committee President Klara Baryshev told Fox 5 over the phone, "We are very concerned about the safety of riders, employees and contractors and will be monitoring metro's investigation closely."
Due to the government shutdown, the NTSB public affairs team has been furloughed and cannot be reached for comment.According to WMATA, free shuttle buses will continue to operate between Dupont Circle and Noma-Gallaudet stations until system closing Sunday night. Normal rail service will be restored Monday morning.

The Emotional Eating Solution Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
John Davenport used to overeat, binge eat and eat in the middle of the night. He gained more than 43 pounds giving in to his emotional eating habits, so he decided to change his life. After overcoming his addiction to food, Davenport wrote the Emotional Eating Solution to provide "step-by-step" instructions on how to lose weight if addicted to food. The official website reads like an affiliate marketing website. There is a quiz to help the dieter decide whether or not they suffer from emotional eating. The quiz is biased as there are two main answers "always" and "never." There is no answer for the in between.
List of Ingredients
Step-by-step guide to weight loss for food addicts.
Product Features
As soon as something goes wrong, you are in the kitchen eating something you know you shouldn't have. Feeding emotional turmoil may help the pain go away right now, but the long term effects on the body are hazardous. Emotional eaters eat because they are happy, sad, stressed, fearful and depressed. There is a new reason to eat every time another emotional turn happens. The Emotional Eating Solution is the answer, according to John Davenport, author and self-proclaimed emotional eater.
The information on the official website is horrible. There are no links leading off the main page. The dieter must read through tens of thousands of words to find out any information on the eating plan. Somewhere near the end of the page, there is a reference to a 21 day trial of the Emotional Eating Solution. We assume the $4.95 trial fee gives the dieter access to all eating plans and diet information. If the trial is not cancelled, but sending an email to the website, the dieter is charged another $39.95. There is no additional information given to the dieter who pays full price and the dieter does not receive the $4.95 trial fee back when cancelling.
- Promotes healthy eating for weight loss.
- No information on the actual diet.
- The trial fee is not refunded when the order is cancelled.
- Not all dieters are emotionally connected with food.
- Testimonials do not include before and after photos.
- All of the information is listed in one, long document.
Emotional eating is a problem for many dieters. Breaking the emotional connection with food is the first step in healing. John Davenport claims to have the answer to breaking the habit, but that answer is obscurely referenced on the official website. Dieters need to pay a $4.95 fee to learn more about the diet and then pay an additional $39.95 to keep the information. The website is difficult to follow and the website gives no information on how the dieter will lose weight.
