Deal DetailsLast Edited by stephsully July 13, 2010 at 12:50 PM
1 year Free Amazon Prime membership
Did a search and couldn't find this:
-Valid .edu e-mail address
-Specify college, year and major
Quote :To sign up for and use Amazon Student, you must (1) have an Amazon.com account, (2) be a college student actively enrolled in at least one course at a college geographically located in one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia, (3) be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request and (4) have a valid e-mail address that contains the domain suffix .edu.
Everything else is self-explanatory. Go to prime and manage your account. Should be activated and have an ending date 1 year from sign-up date. You are even able to add family members to the account like a regular prime subscription.
Updates to answer questions
Q: Will this automatically renew?
Quote :The automatic renewal provisions in the Amazon Prime Terms & Conditions (which would require you to pay for Amazon Prime) do not apply to this membership, even if we decide to extend the free Amazon Prime offer beyond one year.
A: You might be able to. And you might not.
If you do not qualify and they catch you, Amazon will make you reimburse them for their costs
Quote :If you do not provide documentation indicating that you meet the eligibility requirements above, you may be required to reimburse us for benefits you received as a result of your Amazon Student membership.
Q: What happens if I already have a prime account?
A: I'm not sure, however people are reporting that if they currently have a prime account and they sign-up for the Amazon Student account, the following happens:
1. Their current prime account gets cancelled and they get a pro-rated refund
2. They get signed up for the free 1 year amazon student prime
Q: My .edu address isn't my Amazon.com address -- do I have to create a new account?
A: No
Quote :If your .edu e-mail address isn't listed on your Amazon.com account, that's OK. The only e-mail we'll send to your .edu e-mail address is the verification e-mail. After that, other Amazon Student e-mails will be sent to the e-mail address listed on your Amazon.com account.
A: Students are notoriously poor. Many have to work minimum-wage jobs while taking classes to pay for rent, tuition and food. Let a student know about this deal and help them save money. Also, donating old books you have lying around the house to schools and libraries (especially those dealing with budget cuts) could potentially enrich a child's life and help them get interested in many different subjects and put them on the path to higher education.
"Join Amazon Student and get FREE Two-Day Shipping for one year with a free Amazon Prime membership ($79 value), as well as e-mail alerts for exclusive promotions. There is no cost to join--simply sign up by providing your school and major. If you�re not a student, you may still be eligible for a free trial of Amazon Prime."
Conditions for the curious (from Terms and Conditions)
T&C [amazon.com]
EDIT: This is really crazy!! Almost 2750 thumbs ups and counting! -- Over 3900 reps (I started with only 17!) Thanks everyone for all the support!
Here's the back story of how this deal came about: My sister-in-law really wanted a prime account since their's had just ended a short time go. She kept asking if I wanted to split one with her and my other siblings, but the rest of us weren't so keen on the idea because we didn't have that much of a need for it.
Fast forward to yesterday afternoon, she calls me and tells me about this Amazon Student thing and asks if I've ever heard of it. I told her no and did a search on slickdeals and google and couldn't find a thing on it. I went to the website she gave me and saw that you get Prime free for a year if you're a student, etc. etc. I verified it worked and that you could add family members to the account.
As soon as that happened, I posted it here since I've been a member for a while, but never posted a deal before (everyone is really quick on the uptake for this kind of stuff so by the time I find out about something, it's probably been on here for days already). I wanted to give back to everyone and this was the perfect opportunity.
The rest as they say, is history (1 day old history!)

Hello Sd'ers
Friendly Warning....There's absolutely no begging or pleading to be added to their amazon prime account. The mods are aware of this and is strictly prohibited within our terms, policies & conditions of slickdeals. Please refrain yourself from any further type of begging/pleading posts or comments for invites within this thread. Thank you...
What does invite others to use prime mean (under the account tab) does this mean to authorize others to use my prime account for free, or does it mean to invite others that have a edu. e-mail to sign up???
^You can invite anyone (up to 4 others), with any email address to share your Prime account. You won't see any of their purchase and they won't see any of yours.
Family invites may say that they are only for one month (at least it was for my wife) but they also get a full year and 4 invites!!! - Morning_Breath
- well, for the invites it said Subscription Duration = 1 month. However, the prime account showed valid until Jul 13, 2011. So we will know if it is valid for 1-year ONLY after 30 days.

RE: Auto-renewal
This is nothing to worry about. If they do end up charging you, just call them and tell them you'd like to cancel. I had a three month trial renew on me, which I didn't catch until over a month later. I called, said I never used the service and didn't want to keep it, and they gave me a full refund on the spot.
Inviting household members
Invitation works like normal! Each Student Prime account may share the Prime benefits with 4 other people like a normal paid Prime account. -aznkuo

Obama and race in America
The hope I am holding onto for Obama's leadership is the depth and candor of his Philadelphia speech on race and the fact that his most fundamental racial identity seems to be his being biracial. He represents a new generation of children of interracial families who have experienced the rich gifts and real challenges of finding intimacy across the divide, who refuse to choose between the cultures of their two parents. They want the best of both, see the flaws of self-sufficiency and are willing to lose some friends along the way for the sake of something better than the old categories of who "my people" are. —Chris Rice

Old Hiden Trails?
I've been in the backcountry twice now.....I think. Last time I went I thought I saw a little trail, that was unmarked, and kinda hidden by trees and bushes. It was a trail, because I went over there to do some business, and saw that it was a trial that went on for a while. I thought that maybe it could be an old Indian trail, or trail that pioneers used or something. Or I have an over active imagination, and it was just a trail for the rangers or something, but still It would be neat to find a hidden stream, or an old house no ones ever seen. The GSMNP are old and big, there could be many undiscovered things out there, more in the backcountry, because it would be hidden better, because it's not full of people and tourist. I was just wondering if it would be possible for there to be a hidden trial in the backcountry and if you might find something there. Are there hidden trials in those mountains? Are you allowed to explore them? Do the rangers know they are there. Do they hide hidden streams full of fish for me to catch. (Giantfish) Could you find out about the history of the trail by researching the area. My main idea is could any of this be possible, could that trail i saw really be a hidden trail??
I doubt that there are too many things like pathways undiscovered in the gsmnp. What you saw was probably a manway and some dedicated, hardcore hikers use those to get away from the crowds and add a little challenge. I think there was an article a few months ago in backpacker magazine that detailed the 5 best manways in the gsmnp. These paths are usually very tight and cramped and, honestly, i don't see why anyone would really want to use them, especially use fisherman. I wouldn't recommend hiking these, though, as technically they are not marked trails i think, so i would imagine you could get into some trouble. Someone may know a little more about this topic because i'm not exactly 100% sure.
I suspect many of these, particularly those heading toward water, are simply game trails. Many animals, deer for instance, tend to be creatures of habit, using the same "trail" over and over again.
Most of the major trails in the areas like Elkmont and Tremont are the remains of lumber train tracks....it is amazing how high these trains used to get on the mountains....a good read on this is a book called The Last Train to Elkmont....when I was younger I used to fish up the right fork of FCP where there was not supposed to be a trail back down....if you knew where to look there was an old railroad bed that was overgrown with moss and etc....the cross ties were mainly rotten and the rails were gone but the bed was still there and it was a lot easier than climbing back down the river....I have followed many a game trail and had to back track where it went where no mere mortal man could go safely....my uncle still talks about some of the oldtimers that knew of some of these forgotten trails and could get between spots where no map shows a route....my guess is that some of these may still be around but mostly you are asking for a lot of trouble if something happened to you while off exploring....
Some times the little side paths lead to old homesteads or cemeteries. Just be careful and make sure you can find your way bact to the main trail. Learn to use a compass and map, or GPS. Cross country travel or the use of manways isn't safe without these skills IMO.

HELP!!! (sorry, this is long...)
I am going back to work full-time August 28th and I don't know if I've really messed up...I've never given my daughter a bottle and she's now 7 months old. We are trying to avoid introducing a bottle now only to wean to a sippy cup very soon, so we are trying to indroduce a sippy cup for when I go back to work. The problem is, she won't take it! There are the occasional moments when we think "for sure this is it" because she likes to chew on the spout, but then she only takes 3 or 4 sips and turns her head away like we're trying to poison her or something. She lets the milk run out of her mouth and I don't even think she's actually swallowing anything more than one or two drops per sip. She does take a pacifier (loves them, in fact), so I know it's not just that it's not a breast in her mouth.
We've tried the Avent Magic Cups, a First Years cup, and Nuby cups. She likes the Nuby the best, but we still aren't having much luck.
People that have tried...myself, my husband, and my mom. I've held her, been in the room, out of the room and out of the house, but everyone seems to get the same reaction.
We've tried right out of the fridge, room temp and warmed, but no luck with anything. I've even tried drinking out of the cups after she rejects them to see if it really does taste gross, but aside from not being a big fan of breastmilk myself , I don't think there's anything wrong with the milk (i.e. spoiled) and there isn't a plastic taste either.
We've tried water in the cup to see if she just doesn't like getting breastmilk except from me, but she makes the same "poison" face and pushes the water out of her mouth.
My local LLL group suggested using different cups (particularly the Nuby) and also that maybe she could focus on solids at daycare and I wouldn't even have to worry about her taking a bottle or cup. She isn't all that interested in solids, though, so I feel like she'd be super hungry at the end of the day if she isn't able (willing?) to take a cup. Someone also suggested teaching her how to use a straw, but I'm not sure if she'd be ready for that at 7 months or how safe it is--I certainly wouldn't give her a straw just to play with, so is it safe to use one for breastmilk delivery?
Any suggestions?

I got a strange feeling we win this game dispite the lakers length
Did Felton really successfully wrestle and defeat a crocodile? With him, i would believe it. I do believe what you said about his balls being very big. Even if i was about his size i wouldnt wanna **** with him. No point guards wanna **** with him these days
I got a strange feeling we win this game dispite the lakers length
Lesss do ittttttttt. Our big 3 need to have BIG GAMES
Lmao to artest...... We got this the only thing that scares me is they got mismatches everywhere.... D'ant should have Turiaf on the court WITH Amare lets get big too.... I know turiaf cant play as long as we want him to but this game we might NEED him too..... LETS GOOO
Artest trying to choke Shawne Williams lol. He almost became a gangsta again. But Will the Thrill is balling, STAT is missing shots he normally makes. He has no field goals in the first quarter, he needs to get it going.
Knicks not playing well. STAT has 1 point, and has sat for like 10 minutes. No Gallo. Yet Knicks only trail by 2 points. ENCOURAGING.
Walker misses all 3 free throws. All mental right there.
When Landry is shooting lights out, he is a very dangerous player.

The Bluefield State College School of Business was officially renamed "The W. Paul Cole, Jr., School of Business," during a recent ceremony at the College. Local business and civic leader Paul Cole (third from left) is pictured during the naming ceremony, flanked by his sons Tom (left) and Bill (right), and his wife, Carol. His son, Charlie Cole, was recovering from surgery and unable to attend the ceremony. Cole's sons—Charlie, Bill, and Tom—presented a substantial gift to the BSC Foundation, matched by the Shott Foundation, for an extensive renovation and upgrade of Mahood Hall, home of the College's School of Business.
(Bluefield)—Bluefield State College has named its School of Business in honor of William Paul Cole, Jr., a business and civic leader. The financial support of Cole's sons—Bill, Charlie, and Tom—and the matching support of the Shott Foundation has enabled the College to obtain state funding that will result in a complete makeover of Mahood Hall, the home for the BSC business school.
During a recent ceremony at Bluefield State College, BSC President Albert Walker noted, "In the Caribbean, every house has a name. From this date forward, Mahood Hall will be the home of the 'William Paul Cole, Jr. School of Business.'"
"We recognize and appreciate that Paul Cole has established a legacy of excellence in the business and civic communities," added Dr. Steve Bourne, Dean of the College's School of Business. "With the generosity of the Cole family and the Shott Foundation, we will now be as advanced technologically as any academic structure in southern West Virginia."
Mahood Hall renovations will provide a new roof, elevator, and extensive lighting improvements. All windows will be replaced and study/lounge areas will be enhanced. A new HVAC system will provide a comfortable learning environment. The building, already wireless, will be equipped with new technologies that will permit instructors to broadcast and communicate with similarly equipped classrooms anywhere in the world in "real time." The building will also feature electronic classrooms and Smart Boards—interactive whiteboards that combine the simplicity of a traditional whiteboard with the power of a computer. New computers will be installed in laboratories, classrooms, and faculty offices."
Karen Harvey, Executive Director of the BSC Foundation, approached Cole's sons with the opportunity to name the School of Business after their father and they responded, providing the largest private gift to date in the history of the College. "We are honored that the area's premier entrepreneurial family – with the sixth generation entering the businesses – will be associated with the School of Business at Bluefield State College," she said. "It's also a great responsibility to live up to the standards the Cole family has espoused in business, community service and philanthropy."
Cole's sons Tom and Bill attended the ceremony and spoke briefly. Charlie Cole was unable to attend, after having undergone surgery shortly before the naming ceremony. "I'd like to thank the Shott Foundation and Bluefield State College for bringing us this opportunity," Tom Cole stated. "We couldn't have asked for a better mentor in business and in life than my father. My mother taught me compassion. My dad has been an inspiration to me. . . .as my best friend."
"Dad's a smart guy and he also has 'common sense' smarts," Bill Cole added. "I am thrilled to be a part of this endeavor. It is an honor that is befitting our father."
The naming of the School of Business honors Cole, a Beaver High School graduate who received a business degree at Davidson College and later earned an MBA from the Harvard Business School. He established an automobile empire in this region that his sons have taken over and expanded. Cole served as Bluefield's mayor for 13 years, the longest such service in the City's history. He is also a former president of the Bluefield Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, and several professional organizations.
"I'd like to thank Carol, my wonderful wife of 56 years," the honoree commented. "She has better ideas than I do. I'd also like to thank my three sons. I am extremely proud of all of them. I hope this School will continue to grow in its service to the community and the College."
"This is the first School at Bluefield State College to be named," Dr. Bourne observed at the ceremony's conclusion. "When you put a name like Paul Cole's name on a building, you have a lot to live up to. We will work to live up to that name every day."

Although she has been involved with many mediums, she has concentrated in digital fine art photography for the past 20 years. Her work appears in several private collections and is shown regionally.

What happens when you invite someone very different from you to come over to play?
Just such an adventure awaits a toddler when she introduces her shy imaginary friend to a very special kitchen, where instead of food, they'll cook up beautiful music! This gentle, playful adventure celebrates friendship and turning the ordinary into the extraordinary as you never know just what will become a musical instrument next. Pasta box shakers and dishes drumming away with spoons are just some of the friendly surprises that encourage a child's sense of play. And as our heroine empowers her timid friend to create music, we discover just what wonders can be accomplished when we all work together.
Celebrate in this child's kitchen as she introduces her imaginary friend to what makes the holiday season the most wonderful time of year.

The Peacock Room Comes to America: Exhibiting Freer's Bibles
Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
In November 1912 museum founder Charles Lang Freer put two rare biblical manuscripts on public view in his Detroit home. This special installation showcases those antique works—a parchment codex of Deuteronomy and Joshua, and the so-called Washington Codex, the third oldest parchment manuscript of the Gospels—in the unexpected setting of James McNeill Whistler's Peacock Room. Part of the long-term exhibition The Peacock Room Comes to America, this presentation exemplifies Freer's cosmopolitan aesthetic philosophy by juxtaposing biblical parchments with ceramics gathered from all over Asia and framed by Whistler's brilliant blue and gold decorations.

Artist Thien-Kim Pham captures the emotions and personalities of the many faces who call the streets home in her somber, charcoal drawings on canvas. The Street Sense Project, at The Art League Gallery this December, forces the viewer to contemplate the lives of street workers and dwellers through large-scale portraits.
Pham has experienced the pain of those living on the street within her own family. As a result, she began to build relationships with many street-workers (some homeless, some not), to learn their stories and create their portraits as a way to call attention to the many individuals in this situation.

Cogswell College student, Aaron Miner, recently received the 2013 Smokler Scholarship award to attend the San Francisco Writers Conference from February 14-17. Following are his reflections on the first session he attended:
The sun warmed the bright, long room as I seated myself for my first panel at the San Francisco Writing Conference. The conference comprises four days of presentations, workshops, keynotes, consultations and exhibitions for authors, agents, and publishers. I arrived early for this first panel—the one slated to begin at nine in the morning. Its title was: "How to Turn Your Book Into a Movie."
I introduced myself to the several women who also sat in the front row. Among them was a nonfiction author from out of state, who was writing a memoir about her grandmother. She reacted with curiosity when I mentioned my studies at Cogswell. She expressed an especial concern about how studios might alter the scripts they purchased against their author's intentions.
As the matter was one I had given much thought, I happily shared what I knew. What I saw as the film industry's tendency to shoehorn stories into ill-fitting, but marketable, packages was what led me to entrepreneurship in the first place. As a child, my love of books and movies developed into a passion for writing, and later I also developed an interest in animated filmmaking.
Founding my own studio was the plan from the start. I have a strong independent streak, and I balked at the notion of altering my story to make it more saleable to an executive. With my own studio, even if the market demanded a compromise between art and business, I could at least decide the best compromise for myself. When I transferred out of De Anza College's animation program, I chose Cogswell College over San Jose State because Cogswell taught entrepreneurship alongside digital media.
Though my interests in fiction, filmmaking and entrepreneurship complement one another, I have always struggled with their seemingly disparate natures. At times, they seem like two vocations too many for a single lifespan. The question of how to integrate them into a whole, and avoid burnout, tortured me for a long time.
Soon, our panelist arrived: a producer and manager who works out of Hollywood. Her trade involves adapting novels into television shows and pitching them to the networks. "Everyone is looking for a built-in audience," she said towards the middle of her talk. There is a market for adaptations, as well as the ubiquitous sequels and prequels, because their renown guarantees a turnout. The expense involved in filmmaking also requires that this be a mass audience. Such expenses have all but eliminated the independent film studios. Our speaker regretted this fact, because she believes that some less popular perspectives deserve a hearing.
The epiphany washed over me like a wave. It was an obvious epiphany, but an epiphany nonetheless. We live at a time where telling a story across multiple media is a matter of course. Novelists want films to promote their novels, and film studios want novels to promote their films. The economics of the old industry demands high budgets and cultivates a tyranny of the mainstream. However, producers, creators and audiences alike find themselves disgruntled by this fact. Furthermore, as the panelist herself mentioned, the development of new distribution methods via the Internet clears the way for a myriad of voices to find their niche. Being an author, filmmaker and entrepreneur in this day and age suddenly seemed appropriate.
As our technology advances, and our culture evolves with it, I expect the boundaries between professions will undergo immense shifts. The media industries in particular will feel the effects. In recounting her tales of shopping series based on her clients' books, our panelist described a convoluted industry, stuffed with middlemen. Now that any filmmaker can distribute their work with a click and a tweet, we may have no more need of these intermediaries. I look forward to seeing the kind of world that emerges when the dust settles, and the transformation is complete.
The panel ended at fifteen minutes to three. I introduced myself to our speaker afterwards and shook her hand before hurrying off to the next event downstairs. The San Francisco Writer's Conference was just beginning.
Aaron M. Miner is a writer, filmmaker and entrepreneur attending Cogswell College. In 2012, he founded Studio Kenaz–an independent animation company–and produced a video for Murs and Josh Blaylock, which was featured at that year's San Diego Comic Con. He is presently revising his first novel, and maintains a blog at Runicfire.net.

State seeks to keep post-Irene AOT hiresBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | December 07,2013MONTPELIER With recovery from Tropical Storm Irene still underway in parts of the state, the Shumlin administration is asking lawmakers to extend the terms of 38 temporary transportation workers brought on in the wake of the 2011 floods.
Secretary of Transportation Brian Searles this week told the House Appropriations Committee that district garages across the state still have their hands full with more than 200 Irene-related infrastructure projects that have yet to be closed out.
In the meantime, he said, storms between Memorial Day and July 4 this year resulted in nearly 400 additional repair projects on the state and town transportation systems. Searles said the limited-service employees hired after Irene who do both labor and administrative tasks will be critical to those projects.
There will be another significant piece of our budget dealing with just Irene in our transportation bill, Searles said of the fiscal 2015 budget proposal Gov. Peter Shumlin will unveil next month.
When Searles testified before the same committee two years ago, he said the 38 positions would be paid for mostly by federal aid and that they would expire after two years. But Scott Rogers, who oversees statewide maintenance functions at the Agency of Transportation, said the employees have come to play a vital role in disaster recovery, especially for municipal road departments that often lack the staff and expertise to navigate the bureaucracy at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
One of the things we learned during Irene is that the towns in general are not staffed up well to handle such a disaster, or to work with FEMA in particular, Rogers said. Some have robust staffs, some dont. And they need us to really help shepherd them through the project.
Rogers said the limited-service positions brought onto the rolls in late 2011 have played a central role in providing that guidance.
I cant state enough how important this service is to the towns, he said.
Searles said the positions would cost about $2 million over the next two fiscal years. But he said federal assistance will cover about half that, and that he has enough state revenues to make up the difference without hurting other agency operations.
Searles said the employees have become valuable members of the agency team and that his plan is to fold them into permanent government slots as longtime workers at the agency retire over the next two years.
Searles and Rogers said holding onto the workers will help resolve not only the disasters of the past but also any future major weather events.
I think everybodys feeling is were getting more events, and more intense events, Rogers said. So the more we can do to be ready for it, the better off were going to be.

Erickson legacy lives on at D&E
Charles F. Erickson of Parkersburg, who died on July 4, built alumni centers at colleges and universities across West Virginia. In addition, at Davis & Elkins College, he left a living legacy as well.
Commenting on the continuing influence of the late college benefactor, D&E President Dr. Michael Mihalyo said, "Charles believed in the importance of much more than just alumni 'relations.' He insisted the focus must be on alumni 'engagement and support.'
"We took him seriously. And during the past year, the D&E Board of Trustees revised our bylaws to reflect his admonition. Our board now has an Alumni Engagement and Support Sub-Committee," Mihalyo continued. "And on July 1 – three days before his passing – we promoted our alumni staff person, Ms. Wendy Morgan, to the newly created position of director of alumni engagement and support. His legacy lives on for us in this still further tangible and vibrant way."
Charles and his father, the late Charles O. Erickson, both felt strongly about the importance of higher education to the future of West Virginia and to the country. After his father's death in 1993, the Erickson Foundation was formed. Charles promised his father he would run the foundation focusing on providing a home on West Virginia college and university campuses for alumni to remain connected and involved with each institution. To date, there are 13 Erickson alumni centers throughout West Virginia.
D&E received such a grant from the Erickson Foundation in the early 1990s when historic Graceland Mansion was being restored. The senior Mr. Erickson liked the idea of incorporating an alumni gathering place within this National Historic Landmark. As a result, for more than 20 years Graceland has served as a campus 'home' for literally thousands of alumni when they return for reunions, Homecoming and other cultural and athletic events.
The historic Graceland bears testimony to the Erickson Foundation's generous support with a bronze plaque on the main floor with the following inscription: "In Memory of Charlie O. Erickson, Whose vision and generosity recognized the leadership of all alumni of this College along with alumni of other institutions in West Virginia."
The plaque was presented to D&E by Myrah Erickson Scott and Lee A. Scott Sr., sister and brother-in-law of the late Charles F. Erickson, at the rededication of Graceland on October 14, 1995.
Commenting further on the influence of Charles F. Erickson, President Mihalyo noted, "Charles and his father understood as have few others that colleges do not grow by themselves – they are built by people who believe in them. This insight has been a huge source of inspiration to the renaissance of Davis & Elkins College in recent years."

Tax-free municipal bonds might not be so free if Romney becomes president
- 11:16 pm Thursday, October 4th, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
One of the subjects discussed at the 4th Annual SIFMA Municipal Bond Summit in New York this week was the fate of tax-fee bonds.
While Romney's economic policies have never been detailed and thus are foggy at best, should he become the next president of the United States, there are concerns about whether municipal bonds will loose their tax free status. If that were to happen, the carnage would be ugly for everyone from the taxpayers in the higher income brackets who invest in tax-free munis to the building of services in our cities and the employment of American workers.

Pennsylvania lawmakers are moving to revoke Penn State University's exemption from the state FOIA law in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
The state's House State Government Committee earlier today forwarded a bill to the full House, 17-6, that would make Penn State and three other previously exempt universities subject to FOIA, which in Pennsylvania is called the Right to Know Law.
A full House vote on the bill, which you can read here, could come as early as Wednesday.
Penn State is one of four universities that are privately managed yet receive taxpayer funding. Penn State in the most recent fiscal year received $227.7 million, just under half of the $514.8 million taxpayers paid to the four schools.
When Pennsylvania lawmakers beefed up the Right to Know Law in the wake of several scandals, then-University President (and now indicted fired Ex-President) Graham Spanier successfully wrangled Penn State an exemption from the law.
I blogged at great length last year about how Sandusky could have been stopped years earlier had the university not been given a free pass from disclosure.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Kerry Benninghoff, echoed those concerns in his memo to lawmakers expressing support for the reform.
"It is disturbing to think what we and the public could have known about the revelations at Penn State if the Right to Know Law had offered greater access to that institution's records," Benninghoff wrote.
Should the reform clear both houses, hopefully Gov. Tom Corbett does the right thing and sign it into law, despte the fact that he's suing to have the NCAA's much-deserved sanctions against Penn State thrown out.
This bill is a win-win-win, in my opinion. The government wins because it regains some trust. Pennsylvania's taxpayers win because they get some more accountability.
And I win, because I just love watching the alumni and young "adults" at Penn State put on a show by pulling their hair, flopping to the ground and crying, "But it's not faaaaaiiiiir!"
Don't disappoint me should this become law, kids.

Two suspects arrested in deadly shooting near SFCC
Motive for shooting of Heather Cassel remains unclear
Spokane police have arrested two suspects in connection with Monday morning's deadly shooting at an apartment complex near Spokane Falls Community College.
The shooting happened at the College Terrace Apartments around 4:30 a.m.
A woman, identified by the medical examiner Tuesday afternoon as Heather Cassel, 20, was found dead between a garage and an apartment building.
According to police, Jonathan J.L. Ritchey, 23, was arrested for first-degree murder and his uncle, Gary L. Stoddard, 45, was arrested for first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.
This after Cassel -- Ritchey's girlfriend and the mother of his 18-month-old child -- was found shot to death near the SFCC campus.
Police said Cassel's body was identified late Monday night. Once it was identified, detectives retraced her activity leading up to the shooting on Monday morning. It took just 25 hours for police to find and arrest the suspects in Cassel's killing.
Three search warrants were executed at 5 a.m. Tuesday for evidence related to the murder. The woman's vehicle was also found and seized for evidence. A gun believed to have been used in the shooting was found during one of the search warrants.
Arleth said most of the department spend the day and night trying to find the two men and Tuesday their family argued for Ritchey to be released.
According to court documents, Stoddard confessed to shooting Cassel. He said she was bound in handcuffs while in the car near the College Terrace Apartments when she tried to escape. Stoddard told officers he shot her and then left the scene.
While members of Ritchey's family spoke on his behalf, no one in court stood up on Stoddard's behalf. Ritchey's bond was set at $100,000 while Stoddard's was set at $1 million.
If released neither men are allowed to talk with each other; Stoddard is not allowed to talk with the family.
The motive behind Cassel's kidnapping and killing remains unclear.
