What does it take to keep Penn State's University Park campus operating in bad weather? According to University Snow Marshal Lloyd Rhoades, while the rest of us likely are sleeping, roughly 175 Office of Physical Plant employees mobilize and work through the night, using plows, backhoes, skid steers, utility vehicles, walk-behind blowers, shovels and plenty of salt and anti-skid material to make the campus navigable. For a moderate storm such as was experienced at University Park last night, crews begin clearing at midnight, working toward having optimal conditions by 7 a.m. During that seven-hour timespan, they work to clear entrances to 904 buildings, along with 32 miles of paved roads and 25 miles of paved walkways, in addition to removing snow from lots containing about 13,000 parking spaces. Often, they need to go back and re-clear those areas after they've been cleared initially, to remove additional accumulating snow. (more)
The Office of Physical Plant on Penn State's University Park campus has declared a second straight Midnight Clear for tonight (Dec. 9). This means that there is no parking in any surface parking from midnight to 7 a.m., with some exceptions. The National Weather Service has predicted that temperatures will drop steeply tonight and through the day on Thursday, with lows tonight in the 20s and lows on Thursday in the teens. As a result, said University Park Snow Marshal Lloyd Rhoades, snow piles that currently are in parking lots across campus must be cleared before they freeze in place. (more)

Although politicians are often criticized for making empty promises, when it comes to their voting records, their words may carry more weight than previously thought, according to findings by two Penn State information technology scientists.
Religion is not just for churches, synagogues or mosques anymore -- it's a topic that is being actively searched for online, according to researchers at Penn State. The researchers examined how people use search engines to locate religious information online. They analyzed more than 5.5 million searches collected from three Web search engines between 1997 and 2005 to investigate attributes of religious searching on the Web.
Anxiety sensitivity, or the fear of feeling anxious, may put people who are already above-average worriers at risk for depression, according to Penn State researchers. Understanding how sensitivity to anxiety is a risk factor for depression may make anxiety sensitivity a potential target for treating depression in the future.
