rged in November 2011, when
Sandusky was arrested, and accused of perjury and failure to properly report
the incident.Spanier was forced out as president at that time. A year
later, he was charged with covering up a complaint about Sandusky while
additional charges were filed against Curley and Schultz. Spanier remains
a faculty member on administrative leave.Paterno was fired and died in January
2012.In these Nov. 7, 2011, file photo combination, former Penn State vice

ndustry expert, said that passenger bribe attempts are
an unintended consequence of airlines trying to squeeze more revenue from
ad-on fees.Flying used to be a Neiman Marcus experience but now its
a Walmart experience and fading quickly, he said. You might see people
auctioning off their seats like people sell baseball tickets on Stubhub.Yet,
John DiScala, a frequent traveler and the founder of JohnnyJet.com, said
paying each other for seat switches, at least in theory, isnt such
as bad thing.If youre desperate, in this day and age, I dont
know if its poor taste to offer (another passenger) money for a
seat switch, said DiScala, who has never offered a bribe, but admits
that he once tipped a TSA official $10 after being allowed to
cut the security line when he was late for a flight. Some
people would be happy to move for $100.DiScala said that the best
way to carve out the space you want on a flight is
to simply be nice to everyone, the airline staff and your fellow
passengers.I bring two types of chocolates with me when I travel, one
for the gate agents and one for the flight attendants, he said.
I get treated like a rock star and I dont consider it
to be a bribe.

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> rding to the Inspector Generals report, ECOtality
was required to kick in a minimum of 20 percent of cost
sharing under the $35 million in grants, and under the $100 million
award, it was to match the taxpayer subsidy. But the DOE allowed
ECOtality to use monthly costs of car owners and other expenses it
did not directly incur to leverage the federal funds. That meant the
company took on little risk in return for its subsidies, the report
said.Although there is no clear legislative history on the meaning behind
requiring recipients to provide cost-share, the concept is generally understood
to mitigate risk, help leverage federal investments, and ensure that recipients
have some skin in the game in these kinds of transactions, the
IG report said.ECOtality planned a full rollout of charging stations in
five major metro areas to address one of the biggest problems facing
the market for electric cars range anxiety, or fear that owners
wont be able to easily charge them. The goal, according to the
report, was for government to stimulate the installation of so many chargers
at commercial and residential locations, that places to re-power cars would
be nearly as ubiquitous as gas stations.But weak demand for the electric
cars resulted in a diminished need for chargers and the DOE and
ECOtality sought to reach the 15,000-charging station goal by spreading
the program to five more markets. The company also went heavier on
home-chargers for in
dividual owners and lighter on commercial stations that
could serve multiple users. Those factors, according to the report, undermined
the goal of easing range anxiety in the original markets."The real problem
is the policy approach of the Obama administration," said Paul Chesser,
of the National Legal and Policy Center. "The department of Energy and,
really ECOtality, were in an impossible situation. President Obama says,
'There's going to be 1 million electric cars on the road by
2015, so here are billions to make it happen.' And then nobody
buys the cars."It's a disastrous domino effect, a complication of a policy
that was a bad idea," Chesser said.Under the plan, all charging stations
were to be used to gather data from users, but many commercial
stations were so seldom used that they proved useless in gauging public
satisfaction.The lack of analysis by the Department or ECOtality prevented
us from determining whether the reasoning behind these changes was sound
and in the best interest of U.S. taxpayers, the IG wrote.Although the
audit found no issues with the selection of Ecotality for the project,
Chesser said the company relies more on political connections than expertise
in winning taxpayer grants. ECOtality began as a maker of biodegradeable
products, but in 2006 jumped into the electric car industry. And the
company has been upfront about its business strategy of going after government
money.Im a political beast, ECOtality Pr
