Find a problem, I don't care how small it is. Find a solution to the problem. Implliment the solution. Make sure the solution works. Then you can tell the world that you found a problem, implimented a solution, and did your job.
Do not focus on who is paying for the study, focus on who is choosing the independent party. It is the "chooser" not the "payer" that has the ability to influence the outcome.
Is that so hard to understand friends?
Hopefully a sharp investigative journalist will ask the question, and provide the answer.
picturethis, I am looking for the words where it says the attendees will receive a college degree. I don't see it anywhere.
It is a collaboration between schools, unions and employers because one of them recognize there could be a local shortage of qualified people to fill the jobs.
Get the chip off your shoulder, be thankful that somehow, somewhere, finally, people are getting together to educate potential employees.
Furthermore, Lakeland is not a for profit college. No one is trying to turn everything into more profits for the colleges. That statement simply shows your lack of understanding.
Howard - The article you refer says that the government deposited 165 million gallons of toxic waste into this hole in the earth. The article goes on to report that "Unfortunately, the injections probably triggered earthquakes in the region." Furthermore, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Remdiation Venture Office goes on to say that the army discontinue the use of this well in 1966, more than 40 years ago, because of the possibility the fluid injection was triggering earthquakes in the area.
Note the words probably, and posibility. These words do not mean the same thing as proof. In addition, science has progressed some in the last forty years since the well was closed, and guess what , still no proof, imagine that.
This leaves the possibility that the earthquakes were also being caused by other natural conditions. No where did it say that the Army "proved" that the injections caused, or could cause eartthquakes.
Furthermore, you fail to site the first paragraph of the report sited in the link that says the following: "Deep well injection for liquid waste has been safely used for many years at sites throughout the United States without documented damage to human health or the environment. After an extensive study of deep injection wells across the country by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it was concluded that this procedure is effective and protective of the environment." Hmmm... don't want to use the EPA findings either?
The comments in the post are without merit.
If we were to eliminate the 5 causes in the article you refer to, we should stop building dams, because water is heavier than air and causes a massive change in the stress load.
We should stop all the coal mining in the country that supplies more than half the electricity in the country (of course we would not want to switch to our newly found supply of natural gas, that clean burning resource that does not pollute like coal).
Another human cause of earthquakes mentioned, is drilling a gusher dry, where the combination of liquid extraction and injection changed the tectonic action in the field. The article states " "Few will deny that there is a relationship between hydrocarbon recovery and seismic activity, but exactly how strong a relationship exists has yet to be determined." They caution that in regions where tectonic activity is already high, extracting oil and natural gas could trigger strong quakes." Ok no drilling in San Francisco along the San Andreas fault.
I like this one a lot. Number 5 way for human's to create an earthquake is to Create the World's Biggests Building. A geologist claimed the Taipei 101 was causing earthquakes along a long-dormant fault line. The article states that while it is possible, the building would have to weigh ten times the 700,000 metric tons of the Taipei 101.
Generally speaking raises are provided when the employer is the recipient of increased income from year to year. This also assumes that expenses do not increase disprportionately.
I am not a master of Youngstown's budget, but I don't believe it is the recipient of increased cash flows. If that is the case it makes it difficult to offer employees raises.
Generally speaking when you raise prices, without increasing the value of goods and services provided, you lose customers. Through tax increase, the City of Youngstown has increased prices and lost customers, forcing the city to raise taxes again, and lose more customers.
Union or no union, collective bargaining or not, if the money is not there, the raises won't come. You might force things for a while, but the well does run dry. When the well runs dry, you get forced into wage freezes.
You might try some collective thinking on how to bring more revenue to the city without losing customers, instead of collective bargaining.
Insider-trading bill is a solid investment in accountability
If television jounalist and anchors are forbidden to trade stocks I don't see why Congress can not be held to the same standard.
I would be happy with a blind trust, or limiting investments to mutual funds available to the general public, no hedge funds.

Hagan blasts ‘real failure of government’
Please, just once before you leave office.
Find a problem, I don't care how small it is. Find a solution to the problem. Implliment the solution. Make sure the solution works. Then you can tell the world that you found a problem, implimented a solution, and did your job.
Thanks
