Bring down the high cost of college textbooks



New website helps you find college textbooks at reasonable prices

Exeter Township resident George Lambriodes, a junior at Philadelphia University, has launched an online business to help college students buy and sell used textbooks.

The site, www.enoci.com, has been active for several weeks. It connects buyers and sellers of textbooks and other items on the same campus or with students at other schools.

The word "enoci" comes from the Greek language and it literally means "connection" or "to connect."

Lambriodes, a 2008 Exeter High School graduate. decided to launch the venture based on his own frustration with the high price of college textbooks.

Students can spend thousands of dollars each semester for required textbooks and even used books cost hundreds of dollars. Students receive pennies on the dollar from college bookstores when they attempt to sell books back after they're done with classes.

Lambriodes' site helps sellers earn a better return while still offering books at a discount to buyers. Clients can list any textbook for just 99 cents.

There are no shipping, commission or transaction fees involved with the service and clients can search the site for specific textbooks for free. You can search nationally, by region or by specific college campus.

Books are just the beginning. Clients can also use the site to sell supplies, room furnishings (mini refrigerators), CDs, DVDs, and even cars to fellow college students, according to Lambriodes.

Schwank Vs. Medaglia in special election for PA Senate seat

What I know about Larry Medaglia Jr., the Republican candidate in the special election for the 11th state Senate seat in Berks County: The Berks County Register of Wills office is more efficient thanks to reforms Medaglia has instituted, saving taxpayers money.

What I know about Judy Schwank, the Democratic candidate: When she was chairwoman of the Berks County Commissioners four years ago, she was the deciding vote for a 34% property tax hike for Berks County homeowners and businesses.

The race is basically a fiscal conservative vs. tax-and-spend liberal.

Newspaper: Failing grade is embarrassment to Pa. lawmakers

From an editorial in The Mercury:
Safe driving standards and more restrictive teen driving laws have been adopted in neighboring states of New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Maryland.

Pennsylvania has gotten failing grades on many fronts recently, and new Gov. Tom Corbett says he intends to change some of that.

This fix is simple. It doesn't cost anything except leadership to enact safe driving laws.

Pennsylvanians deserve better than laws that fail.

Liberal Media Bias 101

It took seven days for somebody at The New York Times to finally admit to the newspaper's shoddy reporting of the Arizona shooting tragedy.

Arthur S. Brisbane, the newspaper's "public editor," points out in a column that The New York Times reported various factual errors and speculated about the cause of the shooting without a shred of evidence to back up its reporting.

Brisbane writes:
The Times's day-one coverage in some of its Sunday print editions included a strong focus on the political climate in Arizona and the nation. For some readers — and I share this view to an extent — placing the violence in the broader political context was problematic.

The Times had a lot of company, as news organizations, commentators and political figures shouldered into an unruly scrum battling over whether the political environment was to blame. Meanwhile, opportunities were missed to pick up on evidence — quite apparent as early as that first day — that Jared Lee Loughner, who is charged with the shootings, had a mental disorder and might not have been motivated by politics at all.

'80 Ideas for a Prosperous Pennsylvania'

After eight disastrous years under Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, Pennsylvania is is serious trouble.

But there is hope. Rendell is gone. Republican Tom Corbett will be sworn in today as the state's new governor.

With so many problems facing Gov. Corbett, where to begin?

The Commonwealth Foundation, an independent, non-partisan, free-market public policy think tank, has come up with a road map to help rebuild Pennsylvania's economic vitality, offering 80 concrete recommendations to make needed reforms to various state programs and agencies.

From the introduction to the report:
Pennsylvania's newly-elected governor and the 2011-12 General Assembly will face a host of challenges created by the previous governor bent on a tax-borrow-spend-and-control mentality that has driven the commonwealth into a potential $5 billion budget deficit. These fiscal challenges also include an education system with a wide achievement gap for students and parents demanding more options for their children, a recession that has led to the highest unemployment rate in 30 years, a public that has lost faith in its leaders and economic growth that has trailed the rest of the nation for decades.

Pennsylvania must undergo a rapid transformation to reverse the poor policy decisions that have eroded economic freedoms and brought the state to its present condition. To provide a road map for success in this critical endeavor, the Commonwealth Foundation has compiled a list of 80 policy recommendations for Gov. Corbett and state legislators to help lead a Pennsylvania comeback.

Obama = Debt = Hypocrisy

Sen. Barack Obama on the Senate floor in 2006:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance the government's reckless fiscal policies."
President Barack Obama, after running up the national debt by more than $3 trillion in just two years to a record $14 trillion, now wants Congress to raise the debt ceiling limit ... so he can keep spending money we don't have.

And has anyone in the mainstream media pointed out Obama's hypocrisy? Nope. They're too busy trying to blame Sarah Palin for something ... anything.

Rendell regrets supporting pay raise

It took five years to sink into his thick skull, but lame-duck Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has finally admitted he screwed up in supporting the infamous middle-of-the-night pay raise for state legislators, judges and other politicians in 2005.

From a story by Brad Bumsted in The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
Gov. Ed Rendell said today his one regret during his eight-year tenure was that he agreed to sign the 2005 legislative pay raise, which hiked lawmakers' pay by 16 to 34 percent.

He said he agreed to sign it after opposing it a year before because he was told by legislative leaders he'd get nothing on his agenda approved during his remaining years in office.

"The pay raise and the way it was structured was untenable," Rendell said at a news conference to talk about his tenure as governor. He leaves office Jan. 18 when Republican Gov.-elect Tom Corbett is sworn in. Rendell was elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006.
Most of the legislative leaders who hatched the pay raise scheme have been ousted or forced into early retirement in the past five years. The list includes John Perzel, Chip Brightbill, Robert Jubelirer, Mike Veon and Vince Fumo.

Also gone is former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice Ralph Cappy, who also pushed for the pay raise. Cappy retired in 2007 instead of facing the voters in a retention election. The only person who escaped the wrath of voters was "Teflon" Ed Rendell.

Read the full story, "Rendell: Pay raise for lawmakers was bad idea," at the newspaper's website.

A statewide poll conducted for the Tribune-Review found 50 percent of Pennsylvania voters disapprove of the job Obama is doing in the White House, mirroring a recent national poll.

Forty-four percent approve of his leadership, and 6 percent are undecided, according to the survey by Susquehanna Polling & Research of Harrisburg, conducted from Dec. 27 to Sunday. The poll of 800 voters has a margin of error of 3.46 percent. Fifty-one percent of those polled are registered Democrats, and 38 percent are Republicans.

National Debt Tops $14 Trillion Under Obama

You may not have noticed it during the busy holiday rush, but the U.S. national debt has topped $14 trillion under Barack Obama.

It now stands at $14,001,550,000 - and rising by the second. Broken down by population, every man, woman and child in the United States owes $45,000.

The interest alone on the national debt has now topped $3.5 trillion.

Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats have increased the national debt by more than $3 trillion in just two years.

The debt was $10.6 trillion when Obama took office in January 2009.

And for the Kool-Aid drinkers out there who can't accept the fact that Obama has plunged the nation into uncharted debt territory, consider that it took George W. Bush eight full years to increase the debt by $4.9 trillion.

Left unchecked, Obama is on pace to push the debt to $16.5 trillion in 2012 (his last year in office) or $6 trillion more than the day he was sworn in.
