Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Decide what you'd like to do. Have a plan. Set your goals and follow through. And most important, stay on track and don't give up. No matter what!
Bang for the buck The cost is great if you are a New York State resident. Financial Aid, Grants can help for those who cannot immediatly afford.
Am enjoying being here Have yet to have a bad experience. People here are friendly, energized and share the same goals of succeeding. Activities are new to me so I'll try to update after the Fall.
Am learning a lot Excellent resources available for all students in Writing and Math. Library is the best I've seen. Great experience for those out of high school or adults who want to get back into the workforce. Faculty cares about your success.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Corning is perfect for students who don't really know what they want to do and don't have the money to go off to a four year college. They have 2 year programs that can get you started on a career. Most importantly I feel Corning is great for students who are not quite ready to enter the big world away from home. If you are shy this is a great place to grow and become comfortable with who you are.
Tips for prospective students DONT procrastinate!! That was the hardest thing for me. Do not put off choosing your next semester's classes because you are so busy because the class you really want may be gone. AND try not to work so many hours while you go to school. School should be your first job!! Good luck with your decision!
Bang for the buck What a savings! The credits transfer to SUNY colleges. Why pay all that money to go away when you have an awesome college practically in your back yard!! They have plenty of scholarships available also. It is really a top notch college to go to if you are interested in a community college
Am enjoying being here I do enjoy my classes, especially my film classes. The professor is awesome. Corning is small enough to make you feel comfortable. They have successful sports teams and it is easy to make friends
Am learning a lot I am certainly learning a lot about college and learning a lot from the classes I am taking. I am glad I chose to start my college career here at Corning. I wasn't quite ready to step out into the world because I wasn't comfortable meeting new people. Corning is just the right stepping stone to take for this. The classes are small and professors are friendly and helpful.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students -looking for a small school environment -Live in or around the Corning area -still undecided major. There is room for exploration without spending thousands of dollars to do so.
Tips for prospective students -Be prepared for driving in any weather. The college isn't known for closing. -There are a number of campuses, so look for classes at the ones closest to you -Do what any student should: attend class, study, talk to your professors and other students -order books from amazon or other similar websites. they are usually less than in the bookstore.
Bang for the buck I was able to complete two years there and leave debt free. The college is a commuter college, so there was a bit of money spent on gas. Carpooling or taking public transportation can help to save on that cost. They do have plans to build dorms on the main campus in the near future.
Did enjoy being here The two years it took me to earn an associates degree went by fast. The school isn't very large so there are a lot of familiar faces, especially within each program. There are lots of activities that go on throughout the year. The weather gets to be a bit of a hassle in the winter, but then again, it is New York. Corning is ranked in the top 10% of community colleges in the nation.
Did learn a lot I found the placement exams for math and english a bit annoying, seeing as how I ended up in a lower level math than what I should have been in. The professors here are wonderful and willing to help out any student in need. The level of education you can get if you put in the effort is really good.

Categories Comments What to do for fun market street is pretty much amazing for aimless wandering :-p
Food and Dining eat the waffle fries! :-)
Dorm Life there aren't any dorms on campus yet, but they're in the process of building them.
Tips for prospective students i advice for prospective students is to make use of all the resources on campus. take advantage of the learning centers, tutors, etc. you're paying for it, and your grades will thank you for it!
In three sentences corning community college has prepared me for future success, and has enriched my life in ways i did not expect. ccc has a varied course selection, amazing programs and their credits transfer really well. you can't beat the price, either!

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are campus security people, but I have never seen them in action. I have never seen any disputes or disturbances. Most people are serious about their education, and don't really have much to argue about.
Greek Life Phi Theta Kappa is a National Honor Society that provides volunteer activities and potential scholarship opportunities. I suggest joining early to increase opportunities.
Clubs and Activities There are pool halls, clubs, and honor societies which provide stimulating and exciting activities for their members.
Great for these types of students I took most of my courses online, but the school encourages extra-curricular participation. Online classes are great, but are not for social people. On-campus courses and activities are abundant for people that choose interaction.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are nice architecture pieces and study nooks.
Bang for the buck Corning is not an expensive school. The cost per credit is very reasonable. The books and supplies are costly. It is more cost-effective to buy used books and get supplies from a local store. CCC does offer used books and they have a book buy-back program.
What to do for fun CCC has many campus activities. They try to engage students in academic social settings.
Food and Dining The school cafeteria has fresh food and hot coffee. The prices are a bit high, but still reasonable.
Dorm Life I did not live in campus housing.
Academic Rigor Teachers are driven to help students excel. If you want to learn, they will do everything in their power to help.
Tips for prospective students Get a calendar and mark down all of the dates from the syllabus from each class. Online classes are tailored toward a self-driven student, and much of the learning is done on your own.
In three sentences Great for online students! Professors reply promptly to e-mail and other messaging. Online bookstore is convenient and has free shipping.

Categories Comments Campus Safety You are always seeing public safety around campus. They are always there to help. Be sure to get your car parking pass!
Clubs and Activities Student Government, Future Educators Club
Bang for the buck Generally a decent price college, especially for the education you recieve and the fun that is offered.
What to do for fun The student life office is always setting up fun events for the college students, as well as having festivities with prizes and free food offered. There is also clubs available on campus to be involved in and a game room to go to in between classes.
Food and Dining The food is good and they have a great variety. You can find anything from chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks to tuna wraps and a salad bar. They usually have specials everyday too.
Dorm Life There is not a dorm life yet, but there should be one within the next year or two.
Academic Rigor Classes definitely set you up to succeed and give you the information you need. Teachers are always there to help and there are many academic study centers.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to look into the colleges you want to transfer to before you start taking too many of your classes. CCC is great for transferring, but some other schools have a hard time accepting all the credits. Also, be sure to go to your instructors for any extra help you may need, they are always willing to help.
In three sentences Overall, good college based on classes, professors, and transferring. It is not too big or too small. Great college to start at and to transfer from.

Greek Life They don't have greek life here.
What to do for fun They have some clubs there and activities going all the time.
Food and Dining There is a cafe that serves food for breakfast and lunch.
Dorm Life The school is building a dorm right now.
Academic Rigor The academic is outlined for you to keep you on track.
Tips for prospective students To get a head in life education is the top propriety to have. Taking time out to learn is the best thing in life that anyone can do for themselves.
In three sentences CCC is a good school to attend to get started to where you wanna go. The professor there that I have met work with and have tutors that are willing to help out. In the past couple of years of being there it was a good experience.

Categories Comments Campus Safety CCC is extremely safe. Public safety is always on their rounds around the campus, and the students are too nice to cause any trouble anyways.
Bang for the buck CCC offers a good neighbor discount for those in PA, and an even bigger discount if you live in the Corning Area. I went to college these last three semesters for less than two grand per semester. Imagine that! An associate's degree for less than $10,000! Plus the books and supplies of course...
What to do for fun There are tons of clubs on campus! You can be part of the Campus Radio, there's a theater club, a Psychology club, etc. There's always something going on, and even if the campus is closed, many clubs meet elsewhere on their own time. I was part of the theater club once and it was so much fun, however it is a bit time consuming. If you can find the time to enjoy it, though, you wouldn't be disappointed!
Food and Dining The food is awesome! This semester they just recently put in a Star Bucks in the cafeteria. It lacks some things from your average Star Bucks...but still...Star Bucks! The food is healthy and they make a lot of it fresh right in front of you. There is not a lot of fried foods, and when there are, they always provide a healthier choice. I love eating there!
Dorm Life It is a community college, so there are no dorms. However, because people are beginning to travel from a distance to go to CCC, next semester (Spring of 2013), CCC will be opening a dormitory building. I obviously have not experienced them, but just from what I've heard of them they are simple and small, but being a community college, having a dorm at all is a plus!
Academic Rigor Almost every one that I know that goes to CCC gets good grades, and does not have a terrible time doing so. Of course being a college it challenges people, but it provides learning centers to help students get through those challenges. If you put in the time and effort, it will reward you. You won't be disappointed with your grades. Unless a student is consistently skipping classes, I've never heard of anyone failing. You have to try to fail at CCC...
Tips for prospective students College can be intimidating, but CCC is not an intimidating college. CCC is very well known for accomodating for disables students, so everyone is very nice and inviting. Considering it is only a two year school, professors do not get easily irritated with the new kids, because there are always new kids. The only thing I had a problem with my first semester was the freedom. Like any college, there is freedom...lots of it. Other than the fact that you can't smoke on campus, there are not many restrictions, and it is easy to skip class. Do not fall into that. CCC can be rewarding and fun, but do not take advantage of the freedom it gives you. Go to class, and you are guaranteed to get out of there with a degree in two years. You just have to care!
In three sentences It is difficult to compare CCC to other colleges, considering this is the first and only college I have attended, but judging by my visits to other colleges, it is small and simple. The campus does not stretch for miles and miles, and it is easy to get around and find classes. I receive plenty of individual help, and even if this is difficult in class or with a particular professor, the college provides learning centers for almost every subject. The professors almost always know me by name by the end of the semester.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is always around when you need them. They are great about helping students jump start their cars, or just being there if there is a problem.
Clubs and Activities There are clubs for everything! If you are into art, or history, the drama club has put on some awesome shows! There are health and fitness clubs, sci fi clubs. Just anything you could imagine being interested in, there is a club for it!
Great for these types of students Corning is great for students who are working as well as going to school. It has an amazing art program, and if you just don't know what you want to do, it is a great place to try out different things and find what you enjoy.
Bang for the buck If you are smart about the classes you take and the time you invest in studying, Corning is worth every penny you pay. The tuition is very reasonable, and if you have financial difficulties the staff will help you find scholarships or financial aid! Also there is a brand new fitness center with every machine you could ever want, and it is free to all students!
What to do for fun Play sports! Corning has some great sports teams, and they are so fun! Not into sports? Join a club, there is everything from Art and History clubs to animal lover clubs, or sci fi lover clubs! There is a little bit of everything.
Food and Dining The food is really expensive for the amount you get. Its not uncommon for them to be out of a lot of things and the service is really slow. The wraps are really good though!
Dorm Life The dorms are not finished yet but they will be open for the 2013-2014 school year!
Academic Rigor Some of the classes are very difficult but the teachers are very good about giving proper time to prep for tests and quizes. Because the classes are small the teachers are very available to help if you are struggling.
Tips for prospective students Always ask former students their opinions on teachers, sometimes it is hard to know which teachers will benefit you most but with a little bit of research you can make sure you have a teacher who will be right for your learning style. Take some classes that are not in your major, they have an abundance of unique classes that are so fun to take! Take Contemporary World Affairs with Sky Moss, no matter what your major is that class will benefit you.
In three sentences Corning community is a very good college with great teachers! The campus is the perfect size for walking to classes. The academics are challenging but not overwhelming, and the teachers understand that most students are working and attending college.

Clubs and Activities There is not a lot of sports or activities.
Great for these types of students Students looking to transfer to a 4 year college.
What to do for fun The college is on a hill with nothing else around. So there is not much to do, unless there is a sports game.
Food and Dining There is a good variety of food, but the cafeteria closes later in the afternoon and the prices are a little high.
Dorm Life Corning just got dorm rooms built this year and haven't been used yet. (2013)
Academic Rigor There is small classes and good teachers.
Tips for prospective students Corning is basically just a transfer college.
In three sentences CCC is a good college to start your college career. There is small classes with great teachers. They also have good transfer programs.

Step aside Justin Bieber, Elvis is still King.
Taylor Rodriguez enjoys performing. And he's gathering a following around this area. The 13-year-old Forest Middle School student brings the songs of Elvis to the stage and he welcomes the chance to portray the King. He'll be doing just that this Saturday, Sept. 17, at El Cazador Restaurant in Bedford, from 6-9 p.m.
Teresa Lynn Widener eats rocks.
She's done this for 20 years, and Widener doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. And she's not afraid to talk about her unusual habit. "I don't think it makes me a lot different from anybody else," Widener said this week. "It's just gritty. I think it's earthy."
The first time that Olivia Yap, of Queens in New York City, spent time with Andy and Lea Larsen of Huddleston, she saw stars.
It was like nothing she ever saw before because the big city lights washed out the night sky back home. "It was real, real dark and the stars were pretty and big," she recalled. "They looked like glitter."
A song written by a local man is being used to help out the folks in Joplin, Mo., affected by the devastating tornado that ripped through that city last month.
Last year after Mark Laperle's pastor lost his son in a car accident, he was moved to write "Sing Again" for that family. When the tornado ripped through Joplin, Laperle thought it also might provide comfort to the residents there. So he sent it to them.

Ah, Friday. They can try to take it away from you, but they better be well armed and twice as strong, because I'm ornery.
I got plans.
I have to kill some poison ivy and otherwise retard some growth in the yard and mostly, on property that isn't mine, because the city thinks I should take care of the bike path and the land they own, just because I live next to it, though it hasn't bothered to care in 11 years. I also hope to see Captain America.
Sunday though, my wife and many friends and coworkers will be at the Warrior Dash, a 3 mile trek through hell itself. I'm not doing it, not because I'm a pussy, which I totally am, but because I still have a very slowly healing foot thing and I know I'd wreck it. Still, I almost did it anyway, and who knows, still might sneak in if someone bails. I should be used to foot pain by now, right? Mostly though, I'm there to support and take pictures and drive my wife, who is far more mightier then I. Which is how I like it, quite honestly.

A great introductory acoustic, priced for anyone to afford.
From Rogue comes this amazing deal in the RA-90 dreadnought acoustic guitar. The Rogue guitar is an ideal instrument for the beginner, or young musician. The body depth and width bring out balanced tone and plenty of projection to be heard from across the room.
This ultra-affordable dreadnought acoustic guitar features a whitewood body, which brings out lots of mid-range punch. The nato neck adds sustain without losing any strength in tone. The rosewood bridge and fretboard add clarity to each note, and a striking look to the front of the guitar. The RA-090's C-shape neck, 1-2/3" nut width, and 16" radius help with intricate fretboard movements when running up and down the 20 frets. The RA-90 also features nickel hardware and covered tuners.

The CNN Travel staff has put in some hard miles.
Collectively, we've touched down on every continent on earth and we're closing in on every country.
But we're nowhere near perfect travelers.
Every one of the travel chokes on this list comes from painful personal experience -- often multiple times repeating the same mistakes. (We're nothing if not persistent.)
1. Overpacking
At home, with your complete wardrobe available, there's no reason not to run through work, workout and working-the-clubs outfits in a single day.
But when your life is crammed into a couple bags, your fashion morality changes.
Those socks you wore on the plane should be good for another go.
The purple tee you slept in ought to be alright for a third wear.
Yesterday's undies? Well ...
According to a recent survey by Travelodge, two-thirds of travelers typically return from a trip with at least six unworn outfits.
The lesson: You don't need a new set of anything for each day of a trip. Figure on at least two wears for (almost) everything.
2. Not buying something you like as soon as you see it
You think you're gonna circle back to that shop.
You think you'll see a cheaper, better version somewhere else.
You won't.
That evocative street painting or those Metallica nesting dolls you didn't buy? Now not having them will haunt you for the rest of your life.
When you see something you like, just buy it and live without regret.
3. Not checking your phone plan before traveling abroad
What you call "international roaming" your phone carrier calls "shareholder dividend!"
A week of texts from Singapore or St. Lucia shouldn't cost more and hurt worse than open heart surgery. But it happens all the time to travelers who fail to check their phone plans before departure.
4. Trusting "near city center" descriptions
"Near city center" is like a Bible verse -- open to vast interpretation.
When you find the money you saved on your "near city center" hotel is being spent on 30-minute commutes and outrageous taxi fare, you know you've committed one of the cardinal sins of travel.
Related note: Except by purely technical definition, if you're staying near the convention center in Portland, Oregon, you're decidedly not staying "downtown" (as is popularly advertised) by any local sensibility.

Seattle's Eastside is one of America's most affluent areas. Multimillion-dollar estates on Lake Washington are home to a few billionaires, including Bill Gates. With its concentration of finance and tech firms, downtown Bellevue's skyline rivals that of Seattle. The Eastside has several corporate headquarters, Microsoft, Nintendo of America, and Eddie Bauer.

"Lots of Road Construction"
I was put in a front room on the side of the 24/7 highway construction. Very noisy at 3 am Friday night. Saturday was not that bad. On checking out I was told that I could sign up to get preferred treatment. Everyone should get preferred treatment without having to give out contact/personal information and receive unwanted email.

"Very nice place, but highway construction nearby"
I've stayed at this La Quinta many times, and it has always been quiet, comfortable, and clean. There is a problem with the room doors, in that they don't shut all the way on their own. If you don't pay attention, you can inadvertently leave your door ajar. Be sure it latches! This trip was not great, because there is highway construction in progress […] on one side of the building. They worked with heavy equipment all night, including the beep-beep-beep of machinery backing up. Really hard to sleep with all of that. I think customers should be notified if this is going on, before they arrive, so that they can request a room away from the noise, or choose not to stay in that location. I had a VERY poor night's rest this time. Would book with this location again, but only after the construction is complete. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

"Good hotel for the price"
This is a good hotel for the price. Our room had some dust behind the fridge (showing me that it had not been vacuumed in a while) and the sink was clogged, but the breakfast is nice to have, and the bed was comfortable. The front desk was not very helpful, however, as we asked about directions and the clerk simply said that she does not travel the […] way we were heading. A map would have been nice, or some effort to help us, but we found our way regardless. We have stayed at this hotel more than once due to the decent value. The elevator floors had been changed to a laminate (they were carpet before, making them somewhat smelly), so that was nice to see that improvements are being made.

"The worst hotel I have ever met"
I booked the 1 night 2 rooms for my friends and use my credit card to make reservation.My friend checked in and paid on hotel.

What a terrible hotle!They double charged us and no apology.I will never book that hotel. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

Do you look at your doing your taxes this weekend right David.
I -- we're all tired of paying too much in taxes but we have an expert -- you -- -- listen that this is not an expert who says.
A few simple steps can save -- a lot of money.
And it -- have anything to do with tax policy your not taking advantage of existing tax opportunities.
Joining us now out of Fox Business exclusive is -- Harris as the CEO personal capital.
He's also the former CEO of Intuit and PayPal which of course -- quicken and Turbotax or just a person to talk to wanted to elect this.
-- -- say that Americans are always complaining about we want more tax cuts but they're not even capitalizing on what's already there for them.
Well it's certainly true that you can save a lot particularly in your investment portfolio if you think not about.
Pretax performance but rather after tax performance -- after all it's not what you -- It's what you keep that counts OK so -- talking specifically for our investor audience speaking about.
Tax deferred accounts vs taxable accounts the portfolio.
Plays explain this graphic but I heard them.
Just as we took off but if we can put -- back -- people can look at it.
Sure they -- that you've got -- everybody has said Ira.
841 K we hope we hope.
They have tax deferred opportunities as well as taxable opportunities typically what most investors do is put.
Similar mix of assets in both buckets.
Really what you want to do is put your income generating assets.
Into tax deferred accounts because they are taxed at higher rates.
Put the capital gain generating assets in taxable accounts -- first volume that lower rates but secondly if you play it Smart.
You have the control over when you realize that those taxable events quickly give us an example of taxable what you're talking about income generating -- these dividend yielding stock show dividends although some dividends are are qualified dividends.
But certainly any bonds any thing that generates interest.
Those go into that the tax.
Deferred accounts for those of us who have mutual funds -- avoid high turn over rates explain what that means yes well so many mutual funds they trade frequently.
And what happens is that some managers are are -- pursuing top level performance and they're trying to make.
In 08% 9% in a given year.
In in in trying to do so -- trading frequently many times the turnover rates are more than.
One acts in other words they turn more than the entire portfolio within a given year and by the way every time you make the trade to get taxed on any kind of -- that -- -- -- that's the problem.
That's the problem because every time the trade you.
Realizing the capital gains and that gets distributed to the -- idea owners of the mutual fund every year.
OK watch those fund turnover rates and then by individual securities at year end instead of funds.
This mistake people make do not buy into a mutual fund in November December why well it's easy.
They have been selling.
During the course of the year.
They have been just -- they have been accumulating gains during that year.
Some of those gains may have been accumulated from positions that they purchased years ago so it's a lot of built up gain.
And they distributed all.
To the holders on record as of November or December of each year so you could buy a brand new stock and all of a sudden get a tax bill.
For gains that you never saw that did not find them wait and pray and wait -- the beginning of the next year that's correct most prominent mistakes investors make when they're doing their taxes or at least -- from plant.
Well you know first of all the most prominent mistake is that they don't plan.
I used to run a company that that -- Turbotax that tax preparation software sold lots of copies of Turbotax.
And we always said -- we can say the couple hundred dollars for people.
Because we can help them find deductions but we could save thousands if we could get out front on the tax planning process.
And help them through the year.
We built a product a couple of times nobody nobody used so the first thing you do you -- -- you have to get aggressive and take control and and make a plan.
The second thing you can do is.
Is -- try and manage when you realize the losses.
Harvest losses in two years when you needed to shield gains -- big gains until the following year.
Things of that nature are you busy this weekend because David David advertising it would -- a partisan.
-- -- -- -- Up.
Bill -- is that CEO up personal capital thank you so much thank you have a good weekend at Camp David --

Beautiful shoe, but the straps were too loose once on, and the forefoot is a little long. I'm usually a perfect size 9, but had to exchange these for an 8 1/2.

Cute but tight
I wish I would have known that these run small when I ordered them. I ordered my normal size, 8, an the straps were so tight that they pinched my skin. The front of the shoe was very narrow and didn't leave enough room for my toes. I will probably be returning the 8s and ordering a 8 1/2.

Quote of the Day
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.
William Shakespeare
The growing market concern over the weakening oil fundamental picture is continuing to pressure oil prices with the complex declining for the fourth trading session in a row. The fact that the U.S. Dollar Index was also strong yesterday contributed to the selling in the oil pits. The rally in equity markets — normally a positive driver for oil prices — was largely ignored with the strong U.S. dollar and prospects for weaker demand turning out to be the main negative price drivers for the complex.
It is interesting in that often times the market discounts the nearby oil fundamentals and tends to focus on the externals, which normally present a forward or perceived view of the future fundamentals. However, over the last week or so the market has become much more focused on the current fundamental picture, which is becoming more and more bearish. As I have been discussing in the newsletter, supply is robust and growing, global oil demand is faltering and U.S. inventories are at the highest level since the 1930s.
On the economic front Germany's economy expanded less than expected while France fell into recession for the first quarter. France's economy contracted 0.2% quarter on quarter for Q1 after a 0.2% decline in Q4. The Eurozone reported a decline of 0.2% on a quarter on quarter basis for Q1 vs. a market consensus of 0.1%. Europe's economy continues to weaken suggesting that oil demand in the region will also weaken going forward.
After spending a week below the key technical support area of $8 to $8.25/bbl the spot Brent/WTI spread was hit with a mild round of short covering which accelerated after the API reported a 541,000 barrel build in Cushing inventories along with a 750,000 barrel crude oil build in PADD 2. The API and the EIA have been relatively consistent in their assessment of Cushing inventories. As such I expect the EIA Cushing number to be in sync with Tuesday's API number. This is the first build in Cushing crude oil stocks in a month and could be an early turning point from the destocking pattern that has been in play in Cushing for most of the last several months.
In addition Enbridge's planned shutdown of the Ozark pipeline for 10 days beginning June 10 will reduce the flow of oil from Cushing. The Ozark pipeline has a capacity of 215,000 bpd moving crude oil from Cushing to Wood River, Ill. Enbridge said June's capacity will be reduced by 40% or basically by about 2.5 million barrels. This could certainly derail the newly emerged destocking pattern that has been in play in Cushing for the last month or so.
Furthermore the Ekofisk field will be down for maintenance in June, which will result in a decline in North Sea production and will be another short term bullish price driver for the spread. We could see the spread settling into the $8 to $10/bbl trading range during the changing inventory pattern out of Cushing as well as during the maintenance in the North Sea.
The EU Commission is investigating oil pricing assessments in Europe. There are concerns that companies may have colluded in reporting prices to Platt's for a variety of oil products and biofuels. The target companies are Platt's, Shell, BP and Statoil.
Global equities rebounded over the last 24 hours as shown in the EMI Global Equity Index table below. The Index is now about unchanged for the week with the year to date gain now at 2.3%. The rankings have remained the same with Japan and the U.S. holding the top two spots while Brazil and China are at the bottom of the leader board… both in negative territory for 2013. Equities were a positive price driver or the oil complex but as discussed above other price drivers offset the equity/oil price relationship.
Tuesday's API report was bearish for crude oil and distillate fuel and mostly neutral for gasoline. There were no major surprises in the API data as most of the data points came in within the range of market expectations. Total crude oil stocks increased by 1.1 million barrels vs. an expectation for a small draw of about 0.2 million barrels as crude oil imports decreased while refinery run rates also decreased by 0.6 percent. The API reported a draw in distillate fuel inventories within the expectations. Gasoline stocks declined within the market projections.
The entire oil complex is still in negative territory heading into the EIA oil inventory report to be released at 10:30 AM EST on Wednesday. The market is usually cautious on trading on the API report and prefers to wait for the more widely watched EIA report due out this morning. The API reported PADD 2 stocks increased by around 0.8 million barrels while Cushing stock increased by 0.541 million barrels. On the week gasoline stocks decreased by about 0.5 million barrels while distillate fuel stocks increased by about 1.9 million barrels.
My projections for this week's inventory report are summarized in the above table. I am expecting a small draw in crude oil inventories, a modest build in distillate fuel... as some areas of the U.S. returned to spring like temperatures during the report period... and a small draw in gasoline stocks even as refinery runs are expected to show a small gain.
I am expecting crude oil stocks to decrease by about 0.2 million barrels. If the actual numbers are in sync with my projections the year-over-year comparison for crude oil will now show a surplus of 13.7 million barrels while the overhang versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 33.1 million barrels.
I am expecting a modest build in crude oil stocks in Cushing, Ok as the Pegasus pipeline has remained shut down for all of the report period. This will be bullish for the Brent/WTI spread but as discussed in detail above other factors are in play which could dampen the impact of this driver.
With refinery runs expected to increase by 0.2% I am expecting a small draw in gasoline stocks. Gasoline stocks are expected to decrease by 0.5 million barrels which would result in the gasoline year over year surplus of around 10.3 million barrels while the surplus vs. the five year average for the same week will come in around 4.5 million barrels.
Distillate fuel is projected to increase by 0.7 million barrels. If the actual EIA data is in sync with my distillate fuel projection inventories versus last year will likely now be about 1.5 million barrels below last year while the deficit versus the five year average will come in around 15.8 million barrels.
The following table compares my projections for this week's report (for the categories I am making projections with the change in inventories for the same period last year. As you can see from the table last year's inventories are not in directional sync with some large differences compared to last year's changes. As such if the actual data is in line with the projections there will be modest changes in the year over year inventory comparisons for most everything in the complex.
I am maintaining my view of the entire complex at neutral. Global demand growth is still looking like it is turning to the downside. On the other hand the market has been pushing oil and other commodity values higher as more liquidity from advanced country central banks continues.
I am maintaining my view at neutral for Nat Gas and keeping my bias at cautiously bearish as lower prices may still be in the cards. The fundamentals are less supportive after last week's inventory snapshot.
Markets are mostly lower ahead of the US trading session as shown in the following table.
Best Regards,
Dominick A. Chirichella

State of the Union address
The State of the Union is the address presented by the President of the United States to a joint session of the United States Congress, typically delivered annually. The address not only reports on the condition of the nation but also allows presidents to outline their legislative agenda (for which they need the cooperation of Congress) and their national priorities.[1]
The practice arises from a command given to the president in the Constitution of the United States:
" | He shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. | " |
— Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution
Although the language of this constitution is not specific, by tradition, the President makes this report annually in late January or early February. Between 1934 and 2013 the date has been as early as January 3,[2] and as late as February 12.[3]
While not required to deliver a speech, every president since Woodrow Wilson has made at least one State of the Union report as a speech delivered before a joint session of Congress. Before that time, most presidents delivered the State of the Union as a written report.[2]
Since Franklin Roosevelt, the State of the Union is given typically each January before a joint session of the United States Congress and is held in the House of Representatives chamber of the United States Capitol. When a presidential inauguration occurs in January, the date may be delayed until February.[2]
What began as a communication between president and Congress has become a communication between the president and the people of the United States. Since the advent of radio, and then television, the speech has been broadcast live on most networks, preempting scheduled programming. To reach the largest television audience, the speech, once given during the day, is now typically given in the evening, after 9 pm ET.
Also, in recent decades, newly inaugurated presidents have chosen to deliver speeches to joint sessions of Congress in the early months of their presidencies, but have not officially considered them State of the Union addresses.[4]
George Washington delivered the first regular annual message before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 1790, in New York City, then the provisional U.S. capital. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson discontinued the practice of delivering the address in person, regarding it as too monarchical (similar to the Speech from the Throne). Instead, the address was written and then sent to Congress to be read by a clerk until 1913 when Woodrow Wilson re-established the practice despite some initial controversy. However, there have been exceptions to this rule. Presidents during the latter half of the 20th century have sent written State of the Union addresses. The last President to do this was Jimmy Carter in 1981.[5]
For many years, the speech was referred to as "the President's Annual Message to Congress".[6] The actual term "State of the Union" first emerged in 1934 when Franklin D. Roosevelt used the phrase, becoming its generally accepted name since 1947.[6]

Prior to 1934, the annual message was delivered at the end of the calendar year, in December. The ratification of the 20th Amendment on January 23, 1933 changed the opening of Congress from early March to early January, affecting the delivery of the annual message. Since 1934, the message or address has been delivered to Congress in January or February.
The Twentieth Amendment also established January 20 as the beginning of the presidential term. In years when a new president is inaugurated, the outgoing president may deliver a final State of the Union message, but none has done so since Jimmy Carter sent a written message in 1981. In 1953 and 1961, Congress received both a written State of the Union message from the outgoing president and a separate State of the Union speech by the incoming president. Since 1989, in recognition that the responsibility of reporting the State of the Union formally belongs to the president who held office during the past year, newly inaugurated Presidents have not officially called their first speech before Congress a "State of the Union" message.
In 1936, President Roosevelt set a precedent when he delivered the address at night. Only once before—when Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to order the U.S. into World War I—had a sitting president addressed Congress at night.[7]
Calvin Coolidge's 1923 speech was the first to be broadcast on radio. Harry S. Truman's 1947 address was the first to be broadcast on television. Lyndon B. Johnson's address in 1965 was the first delivered in the evening. Three years later, in 1968, television networks in the United States, for the first time, imposed no time limit for their coverage of a State of the Union address. Delivered by Lyndon B. Johnson, this address was followed by extensive televised commentary by, among others, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Milton Friedman.[8] Ronald Reagan's 1986 State of the Union Address is the only one to have been postponed. He had planned to deliver it on January 28, 1986 but postponed it for a week after learning of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and instead addressed the nation on the day's events.[9][10] Bill Clinton's 1997 address was the first broadcast available live on the World Wide Web.[11]

Delivery of the speech[edit]
Protocol of entry into House chamber[edit]
A formal invitation is made to the President for each State of the Union Address.
By approximately 8:30 pm, the members of the House have gathered in their seats for the joint session.[12] Then, the Deputy Sergeant at Arms addresses the Speaker and loudly announces the Vice President and members of the Senate, who enter and take the seats assigned for them.[12]
The Speaker, and then the Vice President, specify the members of the House and Senate, respectively, who will escort the President into the House chamber.[12] The Deputy Sergeant at Arms addresses the Speaker again and loudly announces, in order, the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, the Chief Justice of the United States and the Associate Justices, and the Cabinet, each of whom enters and takes their seats when called.[12] The justices take the seats nearest to the Speaker's rostrum and adjacent to the sections reserved for the Cabinet and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.[13]
Just after 9 pm, as the President reaches the door to the chamber,[14] House Sergeant at Arms stands just inside the doors, facing the Speaker and waiting for the President to be ready to enter the chamber.[13] When he is ready, the Sergeant at Arms announces his presence, loudly stating the phrase: "Mister [or Madam] Speaker, the President of the United States!"[14]
As applause and cheering begins, the President slowly walks toward the Speaker's rostrum, followed by members of his Congressional escort committee.[14] The President's approach is slowed by pausing to shake hands, hug, kiss, and autograph copies of his speech for Members of Congress.[13] After he takes his place at the House Clerk's desk,[14] he hands two manila envelopes previously placed on the desk and containing copies of his address to the Speaker and Vice President.
After continuing applause from the attendees has diminished, the Speaker introduces the President to the Representatives and Senators, stating: "Members of [the] Congress, I have the high privilege and [the] distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States."[13][14] This leads to a further round of applause and, eventually, the beginning of the address by the President.[14]
Designated survivor and other logistics[edit]
Customarily, one cabinet member (the designated survivor) does not attend, in order to provide continuity in the line of succession in the event that a catastrophe disables the President, the Vice President, and other succeeding officers gathered in the House chamber. Additionally, since the September 11 attacks in 2001, a few members of Congress have been asked to relocate to undisclosed locations for the duration of the speech to form a rump Congress in the event of a disaster.[citation needed] Though there is a rumor that many members of Congress are unable to be present in the chamber because while there are 435 members of the United States House of Representatives and 100 members of the United States Senate, the maximum capacity of the House chamber is about 448 seats, this is not the case. There are many more seats for observers.
Both the Speaker and the Vice President sit at the Speaker's desk, behind the President for the duration of the speech. If either is unavailable, the next highest-ranking member of the respective house substitutes. Once the chamber settles down from the President's arrival, the Speaker officially presents the President to the joint session of Congress. The President then delivers the speech from the podium at the front of the House Chamber.
In the State of the Union the President traditionally outlines the administration's accomplishments over the previous year, as well as the agenda for the coming year, in upbeat and optimistic terms.[15] Since the 1982 address, it has also become common for the President to honor special guests sitting in the gallery, such as everyday Americans or visiting heads of state. During that 1982 address, President Ronald Reagan acknowledged Lenny Skutnik for his act of heroism following the crash of Air Florida Flight 90.[16] Since then, the term "Lenny Skutniks" has been used to refer to individuals invited to sit in the gallery, and then cited by the President, during the State of the Union.[17][18]
State of the Union speeches usually last a little over an hour, partly because of the large amounts of applause that occur from the audience throughout. The applause is often political in tone, with many portions of the speech being applauded only by members of the President's own party. As non-political officeholders, members of the Supreme Court or the Joint Chiefs of Staff rarely applaud in order to retain the appearance of political impartiality. In recent years, the presiding officers of the House and the Senate, the Speaker and the Vice President, respectively, have departed from the neutrality expected of presiding officers of deliberative bodies, as they, too, stand and applaud in response to the remarks of the President with which they agree.
For the 2011 address, Senator Mark Udall of Colorado proposed a break in tradition wherein all members of Congress sit together regardless of party, as well as the avoiding of standing; this was in response to the 2011 Tucson Shooting in which Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot and wounded in an assassination attempt. This practice was also repeated during the 2012 address.
Opposition response[edit]
Since 1966,[19] the speech has been followed on television by a response or rebuttal by a member of the political party opposing the President's party. The response is typically broadcast from a studio with no audience. In 1970, the Democratic Party put together a TV program with their speech to reply to President Nixon, as well as a televised response to Nixon's written speech in 1973.[20] The same thing was done by Democrats for President Reagan's speeches in 1982 and 1985. The response is not always produced in a studio; in 1997, the Republicans for the first time delivered the response in front of high school students.[21] In 2004, the Democratic Party's response was also delivered in Spanish for the first time, by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.[22] In 2011, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann also gave a televised[citation needed] response for the Tea Party Express, a first for a political movement.[23]
Local versions[edit]
Certain states have a similar annual address given by the governor. For most of them, it is called the State of the State address. In Iowa, it is called the Condition of the State Address; in Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the speech is called the State of the Commonwealth address. The mayor of Washington, D.C. gives a State of the District address. American Samoa has a State of the Territory address given by the governor. Puerto Rico has a State Address given by the governor. Some cities or counties also have an annual State of the City Address given by the mayor, county commissioner or board chair, including Sonoma County, California; Orlando, Florida; Cincinnati, Ohio; Parma, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Seattle, Washington; Birmingham, Alabama; Boston, Massachusetts; Los Angeles, California; Buffalo, New York; Rochester, New York; San Antonio, Texas; McAllen, Texas; and San Diego, California. The Mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County in Nashville, Tennessee gives a speech similar called the State of Metro Address. Some university presidents give a State of the University address at the beginning of every academic term. Private companies usually have a "State of the Corporation" or "State of the Company" address given by the respective CEO. The model has also been adopted by the European Union.[24]
Historic speeches[edit]
- President James Monroe first stated the Monroe Doctrine during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress on December 2, 1823. It became a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States and one of its longest-standing tenets, and would be invoked by many U.S. statesmen and several U.S. presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan.
- The Four Freedoms were goals first articulated by Franklin D. Roosevelt on January 6, 1941. In an address known as the Four Freedoms speech he proposed four fundamental freedoms that people "everywhere in the world" ought to enjoy: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear
- During his State of the Union Address on January 11, 1944, FDR proposed the Second Bill of Rights. Roosevelt's argument was that the "political rights" guaranteed by the constitution and the Bill of Rights had "proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness".
- During his State of the Union address on January 8, 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson introduced legislation that would come to be known as the "War on Poverty". This legislation was proposed by Johnson in response to a national poverty rate of around nineteen percent. The speech led the United States Congress to pass the Economic Opportunity Act, which established the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) to administer the local application of federal funds targeted against poverty.
- In his 2002 State of the Union Address President George W. Bush identified North Korea, Iran and Iraq as representing significant threats to the United States. He said, "States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world". In this speech he would outline the objectives for the War on Terror.
