Newberry Volcano: Geothermal Energy Advocates In Oregon Have High Hopes

Filed Under: Golf News

Jan.15, 2012

— Geothermal energy developers plan to pump 24 million gallons of water into the side of a dormant volcano in Central Oregon this summer to demonstrate new technology they hope will give a boost to a green energy sector that has yet to live up to its promise.

Celebrity wardrobe malfunctions have become a relatively common occurrence in today’s technology driven world.

While some bloopers are purely accidental, very tame and could happen to anyone — a gust of wind blowing a skirt or an unladylike exit from a vehicle — when the embarrassing moments happen to stars, it can make for some excellent water cooler talk for the rest of us.

There was a time, not too long ago, when it seemed every young girl Hollywood was purposefully being photographed from an unflattering angle, revealing some piece of an undergarment (or lack thereof) and although that trend has thankfully died down, we still often get to see the Spanx shot, nipple tape or wave-induced bathing suit blunder.
