Realtime transcriptionists who develop the ability to use the shorthand machine as the input device for text entry are availing themselves of a multitude of job opportunities. In the "Information Age," companies are searching for staff that can input text accurately at high rates of speed. These companies are looking nationwide for well-trained information reporters who have good vocabulary, excellent English skills, good transcription skills and the ability to turn their work around quickly.
The realtime transcription option provides training to students on how to use the shorthand machine as an input device in lieu of the QWERTY keyboard and, therefore, produce text at lightning fast speeds. The steno strokes are translated as they are written, using a stored dictionary, and the resulting English text is input directly into the selected PC application. Not only can the reporters write text, they can also use steno strokes to send commands to the operating system or the application. The reporter can conduct all word processing functions from the shorthand machine and produce the document in a timely fashion without ever touching the keyboard or the mouse.
The JRC program offers distance learning opportunities through Web-based education.
The goal is that graduates will demonstrate the use of good grammar, punctuation and editing skills for transcription preparation and production; communicate clearly and concisely; utilize all information reporting technology; exemplify a high standard of ethics as an information reporting professional and demonstrate employability skills and characteristics as an information reporting professional.

SPOKANE -- It is hard to imagine a much tougher start to Pac-12 play for the Cougs. They were held to 25 points by No. 1 Arizona, before falling to 0-2 at ASU. Meanwhile, top-scorer DaVonte Lacy spent most of his time as a spectator.
On Wednesday Washington State will call the Spokane Arena home, as they take on No. 15 Colorado. Unfortunately for WSU, they will again be without Lacy. The Cougs' guard tore muscle and cartilage in his ribs against the Sun Devils in his first game back following an appendectomy.
Head coach Ken Bone acknowledged his team's struggles without Lacy, with just 72 total points in their conference-opening two-game road trip. Bone says they need to accept that he's not on the floor and pick up the load. But there's no doubt his absence comes at a bad time.
"It sucks that I'm not here," Lacy said. "But I have full confidence in my teammates that they're going to do what they need to do to prepare themselves."
Bone acknowledged Tuesday that this is a trying time for his program. There is no doubt the WSU coach is under the microscope following his first losing season in Pullman. Bone is in the fifth year of a seven-year contract.
Athletic Director Bill Moos reference "fan apathy" in his radio show Monday. Bone knows that his team can't keep going down this path.
"In our situation now we need to win," Bone said to KREM 2 Sports Director Darnay Tripp. "We've not played well as of late. We did not have a great season last year. We're working hard and trying to win ballgames."
WSU welcomes Colorado to the Spokane Arena Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.

The 2014 Political Environment
Updated September 18, 2014 | As the 2014 midterm election cycle begins to take shape, the Cook Political Report has identified several metrics worth monitoring between now and Election Day.Read full report »
The current Senate line-up is 53 Democrats, 45 Republicans, and two independents that caucus with Democrats. There are 36 Senate races on the ballot in 2014. To win the majority, Republicans would have to score a net gain of six seats. Democrats are defending 21 of these seats, including six in states that GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney won easily in 2012, and two more that are in swing states. By contrast, Republicans will defend 15 seats, only one of which is in a state that President Obama carried in 2012. Republicans have also successfully expanded the playing field of vulnerable Democratic-held seats, increasing their chances of winning the majority. Republicans are on track to pick up between four and six seats; it is more likely than not that the number will be at the higher end of – and may exceed – that range.
The current House breakdown is 234 Republicans, 199 Democrats, and two Democratic vacancies. Democrats need a net gain of 17 seats to reach a majority in 2014. Because the House is well sorted-out, large shifts or a change in partisan control of the House are unlikely. In large part because of President Obama's standing and the GOP's midterm turnout advantages, we would estimate a Republican gain of between two and 12 House seats if the election were held today.
The current line up of the nation's Governors is 29 Republicans and 21 Democrats. There are 36 contests in 2014. Of these 36 races, 22 are held by Republicans and 14 by Democrats. Republicans have far more exposure to losses. Of the GOP's 22 seats, President Obama easily carried seven of these states in 2012, while another three seats are in swing states. Only one of Democrats' 14 seats is in a state that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney carried. While a favorable political landscape should help Republicans in the Senate and the House, it won't be as helpful in gubernatorial contests. As such, Democrats are likely to gain between two and four seats.

Jake Longs season is over. Whether his Dolphins career is also done wont be known for a while.
As expected, the Pro Bowl left tackle will miss the rest of the season with a torn triceps in his left arm. The Dolphins placed him on injured reserve Tuesday night, while also releasing safety Anderson Russell.
Jake will be very missed, Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline said Tuesday. Hes one of our leaders, a staple on our offensive line.
To fill the roster spots, the Dolphins signed offensive tackle Patrick Brown, who played for the Vikings last season, and safety Tyrone Culver, who spent the previous five years with the Dolphins.
Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said during the offseason that he very much wanted to re-sign Long, who made the Pro Bowl his first four seasons and was leading in AFC fan voting at his position this year.
But the injury sustained during the first quarter of Sundays game against New England has thrown his future into question, as has the uncertainty about whether the Dolphins can persuade him to agree to a contract more modest than the wishes of his representation.
The Dolphins havent ruled out using their franchise tag on him, though that would result in a $15.4 million salary for next season, higher than Miami prefers.
All options are available, a highly placed source said.
Numbers game
If the Dolphins use the franchise tag on Long, their salary-cap space would diminish from $40 million to about $25 million. And the Dolphins will need a lot of that space to address other free agents, including Sean Smith, Hartline and Randy Starks.
Longs representation wants a contract that would make him one of the top left tackles in the game similar to the eight-year, $92 million deal that Cleveland gave Joe Thomas.
But its expected that the Dolphins would not want to pay that much because Longs play has declined somewhat the past two years, and because he has had difficulty staying healthy.
The leagues top left tackles typically cost between $9 million and $12 million a year. Carolinas Jordan Gross and Washingtons Trent Williams have six-year, $60 million deals, and the Jets DBrickashaw Ferguson is in the midst of an eight year, $73.6 million contract.
Long, the first overall pick of the 2008 draft, is making $11.2 million this season and will collect his entire salary.
Long said two weeks ago that hes playing at the same level he had in the past. But thats not the case, according to Pro Football Focus.
The website ranked Long second among all tackles in 2009 and 2010 and 21st last season, but just 47th this season. He rated above average in pass protection 32nd of 75 qualifying tackles with four sacks allowed and 10 hurries. Only 10 qualifying tackles have allowed fewer hurries.
But the site gives him a negative grade for run blocking, ranking him 51st. Long also has a team-high seven penalties.
Martin moves over
For the final four weeks of the season, the Dolphins will move rookie right tackle Jonathan Martin to left tackle, where he played at Stanford. He allowed one sack Sunday against New England, according to Pro Football Focus, but coaches said he played well overall.
Jonathan is having a very good year, offensive coordinator Mike Sherman said. A young man like that, just out of college, and already having played both sides of the line and being thrown over there in the middle of the game speaks volumes of what hes all about.
Martin said he felt comfortable moving back to left tackle. I was making mistakes I hadnt made since high school, but that can be cleaned up, he said.
Nate Garner, who filled in at right tackle after Longs injury, also allowed a sack on Sunday but that was his only big negative, Sherman said. His run game was very good.
This marks the second consecutive season Long has ended the season on injured reserve.
He missed the finale last season with an injury to his right arm. He also has had knee and back issues in 2010 and 2011 and missed one game because of the back injury. But he had missed just two games in his career before this season.
With Long out, now we have to move someone from one side to the other, and so were not quite as strong at both positions maybe, Sherman said. The one thing we have benefitted from is the cohesiveness of that group.
Brown, who joins Will Yeatman as the other tackles on Miamis roster, was out of the league this season after being active for 16 games for the Vikings last season. Undrafted out of Central Florida in 2009, he spent three weeks with the Dolphins in 2010.
Culver, a strong special-teams player, had two interceptions and two forced fumbles during his five seasons with the Dolphins. He was released in the last round of preseason cuts in August.

Adult adoptees and birth parents who have been previously matched may obtain the adoptees' original birth certificate due to a new law, Colorado Revised Statute §19-5-305. Procedures for implementing this new statute have been developed. Complete the consent form to release an original birth certificate from a sealed file.
To have your original birth certificate issued, you will need to contact the district or juvenile court that decreed your adoption or a court of competent jurisdiction. You will need to request a good cause hearing from the court and ask that court to order the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Vital Records, to open your sealed adoption file and issue a certified copy of your original birth certificate. Persons who have been previously matched may be able to obtain an original birth certificate for their personal records.
If you were adopted July 1, 1951 through June 30, 1967, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled adoptees can access their adoption records.
If you were adopted September 1, 1999 to present, records are open to adult adoptees 18 years of age and older.
You will need to obtain a court order for Vital Records to release this information. Other options include the Colorado Voluntary Adoption Registry and the Colorado Confidential Intermediary Service.
You will need to contact the court where your adoption was decreed for a good cause hearing (or a court of competent jurisdiction). We have found that the courts usually act favorably on these petitions.
We will require a certified copy of the order, a $20.00 processing fee and a photocopy of your driver's license, state ID or passport. The fee to issue a certified copy of the original birth certificate is $17.75 for the first copy and $10.00 for each additional copy if ordered at the same time.
Typically, the District or Juvenile court should have decreed the adoption in the county where your adopted parents were residing at the time of your adoption.
If you were a ward of the Colorado State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children prior to being adopted, you can contact Division of Youth Corrections, Closed Records, 4143 South Julian Way, Bldg 23, Denver CO 80236; phone (303) 866-7346;
The adoptee must write a letter asking for non-identifying information. Include your birth name (if known), date of birth, adopted parents' names, your current name, address, city, state, zip code and phone number. Include all information that you know regarding your birth parents. If the information is correct, the agency will not eliminate that information from the documents they will mail to you. Any identifying information that you do not provide will be eliminated. They have records for the years 1895-1960. The letter must be notarized and mailed with a copy of your driver's license. There is a charge of $.50 per page. Do not mail any money, as you will be billed for the copy charge plus postage. If you are not sure that you were a ward of the State Home, call prior to writing the letter. A birth parent or sibling can be given only the county and the year the adoption was final.
If you were in the custody of a county human services agency prior to your adoption, contact Colorado Department of Human Services, 1575 Sherman St., 2nd Fl., Adoption Unit, Denver CO 80203-1714; phone (303) 866-3228. This agency has records on file for birth years 1950 to present. Few records available prior to 1950.
If you were in the custody of Catholic Community Services, contact Catholic Charities, 2525 West Alameda Avenue, Denver CO 80219; phone (303) 742-0828; www.catholiccharitiesdenver.org; e-mail (for birth years 1949 to present)
If you were in the custody of Lutheran Family Services contact Lutheran Family Services of Colorado:
If a private attorney handled the adoption, the above agencies would not have non-identifying information.
Contact the court that decreed your adoption, or the Colorado Department of Human Services, Adoption Unit at (303) 866-3228, or the adoption agency that handled your adoption.
You must be at least 18 years of age. Please see the Colorado Voluntary Adoption Registry page for more information.
In this situation Colorado Vital Records would not have your original birth certificate. You will need to contact the state vital records office where you were born to find out the procedure for obtaining your original birth certificate. Each state has different laws and regulations.

Romney v Obama: when it comes to debating, Obama might be the new Messiah but he's no Bill Clinton
Tonight is round 2 of the great presidential debates of 2012. Although this one will be less like a boxing match and more like a 90-minute edition of Oprah. The format is ordinary people asking questions from the audience, which means that the goal of the evening is empathy, empathy, empathy. Rather than scoring points against each other, the candidates have to show that they understand people's problems, care about them and have solutions. It's like a talk show for megalomaniacs.
The format advantages Mitt Romney, as do the current poll numbers. The Canadian commentator Charles Adler summed it up nicely on Twitter: "Ohio now moving toward Romney – Other battlegrounds now in his column – NC, VA, FL. If Romney doesn't gaffe tonight, Obama Era is Over." Charles is being a little over-optimistic. Politics is too febrile for one night to settle everything, but the polls do show that the President's previously unassailable lead is collapsing. That means Mitt doesn't have to play tough tonight, he just has to keep projecting an image of moderation and calm. The person who does have to make an impression is the grey haired old Prez, who has been promising us fireworks for days. But the format of talking directly and sympathetically to the voters doesn't lend itself to aggressive personal attacks – so Obama probably won't find the opening he needs. Even if he does, he has to be careful how he manages it. Joe Biden showed that too much laughter and loudness can be counterproductive.
Are we in for a boring evening? Not necessarily. Candy Crowley has promised to hold the candidates to account (she's been in a lot of trouble for this, but British viewers will be more than used to aggressive moderators) and we'll be watching to see if Romney raises Libya after Hillary Clinton finally took responsibility for the Benghazi raid mess. Likewise, Obama will probably mention Bain and try to draw out Romney's character flaws. There's always a chance that we'll get a moment of high drama. In 1992, George HW Bush floundered at a town hall style debate by failing to show sufficient interest in a young lady's question. Bill Clinton stole the show by coming on strong with his "Ah feel yur paiiiin" act. That's the style of debating that this format favours: personal, quiet, reassuring. Clinton pioneered the town hall debate and he was the undisputed master of it.
Otherwise, it's business as usual. You can tell when Romney's being super-serious because he doesn't blink. Obama will break up … important points … with long pauses. The Prez will probably tell us that he likes to pray – just like Lincoln did! And Romney will U-turn on a U-turn that was, itself, a U-turn of what he first said in 1965. Look out for Obama's tried and tired tactic of blaming everything on George W Bush (don't be surprised if the Hindenburg is included). If Romney is doing too well, maybe he'll get over-confident and start having fun. I'd like to see him try to fit the lyrics of Bee Gees songs into every answer: "When it comes to what ordinary citizens want, Candy, I'd say listen to the ground. There is movement all around. There is something goin' down and I can feel it."
The easy bet is on a draw or a Romney win. When it comes to debating, Barack Obama might the new Messiah to his followers – but he's no Bill Clinton.

Choreographer Jiri Kylian, for many years artistic director of the Nederlands Dans Theatre, used to make dances with an elemental sweep and a resonant humanism at their core. In the Boston Ballet's "All Kylian" program, which presented three of his works spanning 28 years, that generosity of spirit — along with a hard-earned tenderness — shone through, but not without a detour along the way.
The oldest work on the program, "Symphony of Psalms" (1978), remains the most compelling. Set to Igor Stravinsky's score of the same name, the dance, for 16, is at once a celebration and a requiem.

I love that they ask if you are celebrating anything ahead of time and work with you if you have a seating preference. Nice wine list.Special Features:
- Lives up to its reputationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/24/2014We were eating a late dinner so selected a lighter menu and it didn't disappoint. Service is very good but not overdone. We will go back.Special Features:
- Always a good dinnerDlvsmDined on 9/21/2014As always very good! Service is excellent and the wine list is vast but a bit overpriced. Everything was very good and some of the best steaks in town! Shrimp appetizer special was not as great as they were a bit over cooked and very hard but the cheese sampler was awesome! Also had the Halibut and this was excellent and perfectly cooked! Would definite go back again and again.Special Features:
- LunchBuddDined on 9/21/2014The meatloaf is the best that you will ever find. Their selection of ice creams for desert is decadent. The food never disappoints.Special Features:
- Great! As usual!CarguyVIPDined on 9/20/2014Our favorite restaurant ... it never fails to deliver an extraordinary meal. Our server, Judy, was terrific. Helpful advice, just the right amount of attention. Another great experience at Annie Gunn's.Special Features:
- Great Meal, Great ServicejonesfotoVIPDined on 9/16/2014The only even slightly disappointing aspect of our recent dinner at Annie's was the terrible paper napkins that littered our table. Distracting and unsightly, they stuck to the bottoms of our glasses, to the table and to my dining partner's hand. Find new napkins. Otherwise, perfect service, remarkable cuisine and one of the finest bartenders anywhere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- brithdayDined on 9/16/2014I took my best girlfriend there for lunch, the food was outstanding. Our waiter was suburb, the apple pie and cinnamon ice cream really great. My only complaint was it was very noisy, it was the noon hour and there several large groups, so it was hard for my friend and to talk and hear each other.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/11/2014My husband and I went to Annie Gunn's to celebrate our anniversary. Upon being seated our waiter started to pour us an alcoholic beverage. We are non-drinkers, so it would have been nice if we would have been asked so that we didn't have to stop him from pouring to inquire about what we were being served. Also, after the meal, we were going to order dessert, but the waiter brought us one and wished us happy anniversary. We thought it was complementary, but then I noticed it was added to our check. If we had known we had to pay for it, we would have ordered something different.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- too loud for the priceloudDined on 9/9/2014we went there on a Tuesday evening at 6pm and inside or "outside" in the in the close off addition, was extremely loud. We had to yell just to hear each other. after 45 min my ears hurt from the noise and throat hurt from yelling just so my date across the table could hear me. It honestly was similar to being at a Rams game and trying to have a conversation.

We were there celebrating a birthday and there were 9 of us in a group but we all had a difficult time hearing each other because of the noise level. We sat out on the enclosed porch area and would not recommend this seating location if you are trying to go there for a "romantic" dinner b/c you will be disappointed. However, the steaks were amazing and so were the salads.Special Features:

Originally we were on the patio, but 80 yr old Dad wouldn't have been able to hear anything. They quickly accommodated us inside where the noise level was better for him. Dinner was very good and our server was fantastic. Highlights for us: Prussian pearls (fancy oysters on the half shell - I only eat Oysters on the Half here!), Smoked shrimp & lamb chops. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:

- DisappointingMeswmDined on 8/10/2014Haphazard service. Food was good, however we waited a very long time for our entree. Annie Gunn's is Too expensive for these mistakes.
- Best in St LouisOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/10/2014My Wife and I have been coming to Annie Gunn's for several years now, mainly for special occasions, and they have never disappointed. We've been to many "fine dining" establishments in several large cities and Annie Gunn's is the standard by which they are all judged. Only a couple have come close, and only one has matched Annie Gunn's for the quality of food and service. We have never gotten less than perfect service and only once have we not been blown away by the food and presentation, and even then is was "merely" excellent. Always a warm atmosphere, always great service, and always stellar food. It's what keeps us coming back from over 2 hours away.Special Features:
- Always Excellent!MissDVIPDined on 8/9/2014Sometimes I forget about Annie Gunns since the location does not appeal to me, but every time I dine there I know it is a great place. I usually order sea food and vegetables or one of their amazing salads. Our server was totally attentive and patient with our special diet questions. It is a great place to take a senior for lunch and one can feel that there are special items that are not found at other restaurants. Food tastes original and well presented.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great steakjohngDined on 8/8/2014Its been a long time since I have had a steak that tasted so good. This place beats Flemings for taste of food.Our service was outstanding .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A real treat.2ofsevenDined on 8/8/2014Made my reservation online for lunch the next day which I loved. Restaurant was packed when we got there but we were lucky enough to sit in a "snug" which is basically a little closed in booth. It was perfect for the 4 of us and our 87 year old dad. We didn't ask for it but were thrilled to have it since it was crowded and pretty loud in the restaurant. Food was outstanding (and expensive) but portions are decent and our server was wonderful. We did have to wait 40 minutes for our lunch to be served which was long for dad but I'm not sure if that's the norm or just an off day. We enjoyed everything about Annie Gunn's and would definitely return.Special Features:

Protect Yourself With This Ultimate Inflation Hedge
Shmulik is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Ever since the financial crisis broke out in 2008, central banks have engaged in the practice of money printing in order to fuel the economy and avoid stagnation. One of the great concerns voiced by many is that this practice is bound to lead to a currency devaluation and rising inflation. Investors are terrified that their hard-earned cash will be simply inflated away by the government. Everyone wants to hedge their money one way or another.
The common hedge
The majority of the investing population seeking a proper hedge for their cash has found it in the metal sector. The papers are full of praises for metals such as gold and silver. The most daring ones even propose copper or uranium, which are more volatile by nature, but provide a better hedge against devaluation. Indeed, precious metals have outperformed the general market by far. Gold, for instance, has outperformed the SPY 500 by 230% over the past decade. That is a phenomenal beat. But precious metals have become expensive and too correlated with the over-all performance of the stock market. I'm going to offer a cheaper, much tastier, inflation hedge.
The uncommon hedge
The tasty hedge that I'm about to suggest is loved by many. In fact, it's so tasty that many of us are willing to pay a little extra premium with every year that passes. And this precisely, is the ultimate hedge, as well as edge, of this commodity. The commodity I'm writing about is chocolate.
Laws of demand and supply
What's unique about chocolate, compared to other manufactured foods, is that its key ingredient - cocoa is concentrated in one, tiny politically volatile country. This country is the Ivory Coast which controls 40% of the world's cocoa bean supply. This fact alone assures that supply will always be a little tricky. On the demand front, Asian counties have just barely begun consuming the brown stuff. Now that annual income per head is starting to rise, many more are sure to get hooked to this sweet commodity. Tight supply and high demand assure that prices will be on a continuous rise. But these facts alone do not imply that chocolate is a proper hedge against monetary expansion.
Who benefits from this trend
The Candyblog displayed a very interesting graph of the price of candy over the last century. Take a look at the graph here. The graph tells us the whole story. It visualizes the size of bar (green line), price of a bar (orange line) and price per ounce (brown line) over the last 100 years, for a Hershey (NYSE: HSY) chocolate bar.
The trend is clear to see. Chocolate bars have beaten inflation easily over the past 100 years and are likely to continue and do so in the future.
But you might say to yourself - perhaps it's not the chocolate, it's only the company (Hershey) that led to these phenomenal pricing dominance. Well, it's not. All across the board, global chocolate manufacturers have been able to exercise pricing dominance. You know this by looking at how their shareholders have fared. As you can see from the graph below, the chocolate manufacturing sector has easily beaten the Dow Jones Index.
Hershey, priced at a P/E of 27x and price/sales of 2.7 is the clear winner by 60% (!). Nestle (NASDAQOTH: NSRGY), priced at a P/E of 21 and price/sales of 2.4 comes in second with a 30% beat. Third comes Rocky Mountain Chocolate (NASDAQ: RMCF), priced at a P/E of 28 and price/sales of 2 with a 20% beat. At fourth place and in line with the Dow comes Kraft Foods Group (NASDAQ: KRFT), priced at a P/E of 14 and price/sales of 1.4. For the sake of clarity, it is worth mentioning that Kraft is only posted here due to its buyout of Cadbury, the giant British chocolate company two years ago. I believe that Kraft will only truly experience the tasty results from this buyout a couple of years down the road. In specific, I believe that following the assimilation of Cadbury, Kraft's gross profit margin (currently- 10%) stands to improve towards the 12%-15% area as a result of the highly lucrative chocolate business.
It's also worth noting that not only the mega-cap chocolate companies benefit from the chocolate trend. Even smaller companies such as Rocky Mountain above have been able to increase their total revenue by 4.3% and 6.2%, in the third quarter and nine-month period, respectively. This increase in revenues did not come at the expense of gross profit margins. The gross profit margin improved to 34.9% and 37.8% in the third quarter and nine-month period, respectively. This goes to show you just how profitable these chocolate businesses really are.
The Fool looks ahead
Where ever you turn, you might face the danger of slowly eroding the value of your money. I believe that chocolate and global chocolate manufactures, and not necessarily precious metals, present an interesting hedging opportunity.

This is a game we made about space and gravity. Place gravity wells near gas giant planets to suck the matter from their surface. Stream these particles through space to fill collection rings to solve each puzzle.
Please enjoy the game and soak up the atmosphere, if anything I've made could be labeled as soothing, I'd say it's this ;)
Awesometown frontpage'd!
Level transitions are quicker now and the thumbnails for player levels work. A few bug fixes too, keep reporting bugs if you find them!

This is truly a beautiful game. I love the music and the graphics themselves. Good job
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 24, 2010
One big flaw!
I really like the implementation of retro-styled graphics and sound effects, as they don't feel cheap but suiting. The soundtrack is very relaxing and the game would definetely soak me in IF it wasn't for those unnecessary long breaks between the levels, that just pull me out of the atmosphere every single time.

A Girard, Kansas man is being hailed as a good Samaritan by the Crawford County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff Sandy Horton says Christin Johnson lost control of her vehicle just north of Girard. The van flew into the air, landed in a tree and caught fire.
Joe and Kim Curran saw the van go up in flames. One occupant got out on their own and Joe pulled the other two before the van became fully engulfed.
Sheriff Horton says if it hadn't been for the Curran's timing the situation could have been different.
"Mr. Curran's timing of driving down the road, when he was, was in their benefit and ultimately saved their lives," says Sheriff Horton. "The fact that he actually not only stopped, climbed over a fence, all the obstacles in front of him, and yet he still did what he did."
Johnson is in fair condition and one of the teens is in stable condition.
The other has been released from the hospital.
DISCLAIMER: Joe Curran is the uncle of the reporter who was told to cover this story, Zach Fletcher.
