Undersheriff Paul Howell said Friday that while Douglas County hasn't endured a mass shooting such as the tragedy at a Connecticut elementary school, the department is as prepared as it can be for such an unpredictable incident.
A 20-year-old gunman opened fire at the school Friday killing 20 children and six faculty and staff. He was found dead at the site, bringing the total to 27.
"From a reaction standpoint, our department would respond just like Connecticut. You send all the resources you can to deal with the aftermath, the investigation, and the notification of families," Howell said.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Our research program has several active projects:
1.) Pulmonary Vascular Disease We are studying experimental hypertensive pulmonary vascular disease, aiming to determine the pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease progression, and to identify and develop novel antiproliferative strategies for prevention and treatment. Our group is the first to show that hydrophobic statins such as simvastatin, effectively prevent fatal pulmonary hypertension in rats, and reverse established pulmonary hypertension with neointimal vascular occlusion. The mechanisms of simvastatins efficacy involve inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells. A translational effort to human clinical trials has been initiated at Stanford. Colleague Dr. John Faul (Assistant Professor, PCCM) is directing a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of simvastatin for treatment of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension in the Stanford University Chest Clinic.
2.) Lung Inflammation and Regeneration We are funded by the NIH to study the regulation of cytokine gene expression in bronchial epithelial cells. Inflammatory cytokines contribute to host defenses against pathogens introduced through the airways. Excessive host inflammation in the airways contributes to airway diseases such as asthma and COPD, and inappropriate host inflammatory responses contribute to bronchiectasis in cystic fibrosis and in nontuberculous mycobacterial disease. Together with colleague Dr. Stephen Ruoss (Associate Professor, PCCM), we are characterizing the role of cystic fibrosis gene mutations in susceptibility to nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infections.
We are characterizing lung stem cells capable of self-renewal and of promoting lung regeneration after injury. For this project, we are collaborating with Dr. Judy Shizuru (Associate Professor, Bone Marrow Transplantation, Stanford), and Dr. Chris Contag, expert in imaging (Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Microbiology, Stanford). We are using transgenic donor mice, marked with reporter genes, to identify and enriching stem cells capable of homing to and repopulating lung endothelium and epithelium. This project is funded by the Beckman Center (Stanford).
3. Lung surfactant rheology and cellular oxidative stress - We are studying the biophysical properties of lung surfactant in collaboration with Dr. Gerry Fuller, Professor of Chemical Engineering (Stanford). Dr. Fullers group has a unique instrument capable of measuring the dynamic viscosity of surfactants. Our aims in this collaboration are to establish how hydrophobic surfactant proteins B and C contribute to lowering the surface tension and viscosity of lung surfactant in health and disease. These studies are relevant for the pathogenesis of interstitial lung diseases and pulmonary fibrosis. The studies are funded by the Bio-X Committee at Stanford.
4.) Novel Gene Regulators NF45 and NF90 We are funded by the NIH to continue studies of two novel transcription factors cloned by Dr. Peter Kao in 1994. These proteins were isolated based on the regulation of the IL-2 gene in T-lymphocytes. They are widely distributed and are now recognized to regulate transcription, mRNA splicing, nuclear export, and protein translation. In order to further characterize their biologic functions, our group is the first to generate mice with targeted disruptions (knockouts) of NF45 and NF90. Currently we are characterizing the phenotypes of these mice, focusing on changes in patterns of gene regulation.

Great life hacking gadgets
The grid it organizing pouch
This is probably among the greatest recent advancements in life hacking technology. There are bands that cross over each other in a gridlock format. They enable you to carry a lot of stuff in your bag. Stationary is great for this one. But there are so many more possibilities. You could put cabling in it, pencils, pens, stationary, your mobile and more. Rather than allow all this small sort of stuff to roll around in your bag you can more easily organize and contain it. The grid it's can be found in a variety of sizes as well as shaping's. They also feature a pocket area for a tablet, iphone, ipad or the like. Further to this, there are numerous pockets of different sizes which allows for a lot of customization in how you want to organize it.
Recharge many different things at the same time with a power splitting battery charger
If you're able to locate a suitable power cord plug outlet, and have a number of gadgets to recharge, having a surge protected board can come in handy for this job. A useful answer to this dilemma is belkin's surge protecting power board style charging device. On it is featured some USB outlets as well as traditional power outlets. This sort of charger is perfect for when you're at work, the library or an office where limited power is available. This happens a lot at the library. With this device you can use your laptop as well as charging your favorite devices.
The three G or 4-G hotspots
Wireless internet is almost universally available. Even at McDonalds and other public places like shopping centers you can be sure to have access to a wi fi terminal. Despite it's wide availability it can be massively unreliable. Perhaps it's because so many people are always trying to connect to it. The perfect way of overcoming this issue is with a personal wi fi hotspot receiver. These allow you to connect to the internet put out by your favorite telecommunications provider. This isn't the only way of achieving this though. You could also jail break an iphone and turn it into a hotspot. Together with an app such as Mywi you can link the mobile to a wi fi connection such as those from verizon and the like. This latter option is fraught though. It can lead to issues with your phone. So please be careful and get an expert to help you set it up. The most reliable way of doing is by far the dedicated wi fi hotspot devices.
Hyperjuice battery recharging device – just in case
It can be so tough to run your gadgets off traditional batteries alone. They just run out of power too quickly. It's now all too easy to be caught without any power left. Think of your pocket camera device. They just don't last long at all. There are often times, particularly with a camera, when there aren't any wall power sockets around. This is where a portable battery charger can come in handy. One such example is the hyper juice battery charger. This device hooks up to the laptop a mobile or many gadgets for that matter.
Supercharge your mobile camera with aftermarket lens devices
The thing with portable cameras is you never know when you'll actually want to use it. When the perfect moment pops up you're often left without a suitable camera. This happens a lot if you rely solely on your mobile phones built in digital camera. As for carting around a professional style SLR it's just not happening for the vast majority of jo blow photographers. You can now purchase little lenss that you attach with a magnet to the smart phones lens. They extend the power of the built in lens and allow you to focus on objects that are really far away. You can also get creative with a fish eye lens that warps everything in sight. Alternatively, there's a macro lens that enables hyper close up photos to be taken with the good ole smart phone.

Anytime homeowners want to revamp a portion of the house, it usually starts in the kitchen. The biggest makeover that kitchens go through is the cabinet doors. Most kitchen cabinets are long overdue for a solid facelift. Never jump the gun when updating cabinet doors because if the facelift isn't done properly it becomes a costly attempt with failures on the horizon.
Homeowners have the luxury of calling the shots and deciding the approach for their cabinets. The doors set the standard of style desired. Modernizing your cabinets can be as simple as taking off old hardware, wood knobs and other items mounted to the door. If a subtle change of hardware is the goal, then it proves to be a simple job.
Others may choose a more thorough makeover for the kitchen cabinets. This can mean a more advanced task of removing the hinges and the cabinet door panels. Resurfacing the wooden material is part of updating the doors. When they have been completely sanded, a stain or primer is used to coat the door panel. After the primer is set, the next task is to slap on a coat of paint that will complement the style of the kitchen area.

Photo gallery: La Verne Lutheran-La Salle boys basketball
BURBANK - Jay Miller sent shock waves through the Bell-Jeff High School gym.
The La Verne Lutheran senior took an inbounds pass from Ashon Provence, from underneath the basket, and jammed the ball with a thunderous dunk.
"You just have to go for it," Miller said. "I've missed it a couple of times. I said I had to get it at least one time this season. I was like, `Dang, it went in.' I was surprised."
The Trojans already had their game against La Salle well in hand in the Pioneer Showdown. It was just an exclamation point on an 81-60 victory on Saturday afternoon.
"It was absolutely incredible," Lutheran coach Brandon Lee said. "SportsCenter-worthy."
The Trojans (16-6), who got off to a 15-0 start against the cold-shooting Lancers, were leading 35-17 with 3:37 remaining in the second quarter when they missed on a shot and the ball went out of bounds. Miller cut to the basket and Provence tossed it about 8 feet high. Miller, who had 15 points, reached back with his right hand, grabbed it and slammed it in.
"My teammate threw the ball kind of low and I just went and got it," Miller said. "I've done it a couple of times in practice."
Usually, Miller just lays the ball in on the set inbounds pass.
It put a thud into any of La Salle's comeback plans.
"That hurt us," La Salle's Milan Acquuah said. "But we kind of came out slow. That's what took the (win) out of us."
Lutheran's mad-capped early pace altered any of La Salle's hopes to win the nonleague game, one of six games played at Bell-Jeff on Saturday.
"We have a lot of good sets," La Salle coach Jelani Gardner said. "We did not use them because of the way they played defense.
"This was not a game about tactics. It was about common sense. If a man leaves you to double team, you have flash (the ball) back. The kids have to learn that."
The swarming defense caused the Lancers to hurry passes and shots. La Salle missed ita first six shots and turned the ball over twice before Lorenzo Rosales had a basket 3:44 into the game.
"What we want to do is speed up their offense and take them out of their comfort zone and don't allow them get in in rhythm with their offense" Lee said.
By that point, Lutheran held a 15-2 lead and Tey Williams came right back after Rosales' basket to hit a 3-pointer to make it 18-2.
"That's our style," Miller said. "We have to play like that for us to win. We have to be able to play this style the entire game, no matter the circumstances, no matter the score."
Lutheran shot 66.7 percent (10 of 15) from the floor and made 4 of 5 3-point shot attempts, three by Williams, who finished with 20 points.
"They sped us up," Gardner said. "They are a mirror image of ourselves. But they had a little more energy, a little more speed. It was a learning lesson."
If the Trojans missed from the outside, Joe Rushing was there to put the missed shots back in. He had a team-high 23 points and 14 rebounds, seven off the offensive glass.
Miller's dunk came during a 10-0 run to expand the Trojans' lead to 38-17. The closest La Salle got the remainder of the way was 72-56 with an 8-1 run late in the game. Connor Williams had six of those points, including a four-point play after getting fouled while making a 3-pointer.
Provence also had a four-point play. He was fouled, Gardner was called for a technical foul and Provence made four consecutive foul shots.
Vance Jackson led the Lancers with a game-high 24 points on 8-of-20 shooting.
In other games, K.J. Okmanas had 13 points and Marquise Mosley 11 to lead Renaissance Academy to a 59-57 victory over Diamond Ranch. Jasper Hwang led San Marino to a 57-64 win over Downey's Calvary Chapel and Salesian defeated Marshall, 69-63.

While the NHL and NHLPA are still slinging angry rhetoric, a closer look at the NHLPA's most recent proposals shows the sides are indeed creeping closer to each other and other news and notes from around the hockey world.
As Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr meet privately for the second time in two days, the NHL and NHLPA meet on Saturday to discuss the definitions of HRR.
The fundamental lack of trust between the NHL and NHLPA has prevented any meaningful negotiations leading up to the impending NHL lockout and other news and notes from around the hockey world.
The NHLPA made a last minute counter-proposal today that was once again deemed "unacceptable" by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, speaking on behalf of the league's 30 owners. The NHL then countered with what is being described by media as a significan
As the CBA negotiations press on, we take a look at what the NHL is trying to achieve with its proposal and other news and notes from around the NHL.
Donald Fehr announced Tuesday afternoon that the players want a short term deal - 3 years, with an option for a fourth. They are willing to make some concessions where HRR is concerned, reducing their revenue by an unknown percentage as of right now.
Even though the NHL has promised to lock the players out without a new CBA by Sept. 15, NHLPA head Donald Fehr believes a deal could still get done in time and other news and notes from around the NHL.

The holidays are coming to a close and that meant, among other things, traveling. In my case it meant 6-8 hours driving across the state to visit my in-laws. Not a fan of carseats, or really traveling at all, my daughter adds a "delightful" musical score to the drive – you should really hear the sounds she can create. Thankfully she is quelled, somewhat, by having her mother riding in the seat beside her. Add a DVD playing from a rigged up player on the seat in front of her and it is enough to make most of the drive an enjoyable one. All of it if she takes a nap too. When traveling with your child, what methods have you developed to help it go smoothly?
1st time mom,
Toys busy things. I learned from my first that if no one was in the back seat with him, unless sick or hungry (the ONLY time he cried), he played by himself and kept himself amused, right from the beginning. Once they are a bit older and won't throw their toys on the floor on purpose there are alot of little things that you can keep in a bag or suitcase specifically for road trips, that way it holds their interest as a new toy even though its really not. Once there are multiple children it gets hectic, mainly because they either start fighting, or one is asleep and the other wants to play or whatever.
There are alot of activity books and whatnot also for kids a little older. From aquadoodle pads to lap-desks for the car for activity books and crayons. Next time you go out shopping at like a target or walmart, look at all the kids toys not just the age or gender specific ones because alot of things are mixed in. I know at our target the lap-desk thing is at the end of an aisle thats got all make believe girl toys and outfits in it. Also check out the checkout lanes of these stores thats where I find alot of my travel sized car objects for the kids.

Amazing Sushi – The parking lot is always full within an hour of opening. We are usually able to get a seat at the sushi bar. The sushi is as good as we have had anywhere.
A tribute to management is that the staff is experienced, happy, and does not turn over. All the food has been of high quality, and the atmosphere is quite friendly, and welcoming. I am always surprised by how many people make a special trip in from out of town, ONLY to eat at this restaurant.
Great value, great food, and obviously, judging from the parking lot, this is a secret to no one!!
SUSHI!!! – The absolute best sushi I have ever eaten in my life! My husband and I went to Ichiban for our anniversary and sat at the sushi bar. We are not novices to sushi but it was the first time I had sat at the sushi bar. The chefs were amazing and so friendly. They made us feel at home and were friendly and helpful. We tried so many new things and everything was delicious! I especially liked the Uni! Please go and try at least one thing you haven't before.
For those not into sushi, Ichiban has the BEST hibachi as well. I remember coming here when I was a kid (25+ years ago) and it is just as impressive now as it was then! The hibachi chefs are very skilled and never fail to impress with their style and their fab food.

Children born in Denmark after 1985 are at increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes, say researchers involved in the Danish Study Group of Diabetes in Childhood, who evaluated trends in age-specific incidence rates between 1970 and 2000.
Overall, the type 1 incidence rate for ages 0-14 years between 1996 and 2000 was 19.5 per 100,000 children. Examined by age group, the incidence rate per 100,000 was 12.7 for the 0-4 age group, 19.4 for ages 5-9, and 26.3 for ages 10-14.
Researchers note that their analysis showed a "modest" yearly increase of 1.2 percent in type 1 diagnoses from 1970 to 2000 and a "significant...effect with an increased risk for children born after 1985."

Great product By Richard on 4/21/14Richard would recommend this product to a friendEasy to install, gives a simple quick way to monitor your filter performance.
How Can You Not Have One By Austin on 4/19/14Austin would recommend this product to a friendhow do you know what your system is doing are you at 0 TDS? the dual meter tells you what is going in to your DI canister and what is coming out. No more Hoping my RO/DI unit is working right.
Must have item on RO/DI system By Rick on 4/18/14Rick would recommend this product to a friendThis meter is a great addition to any system. Much easier then a pen type checker. To have confidence in the water going into your tank you need to know if the filter is running as it should be. With this you will know in seconds.
Why didn't I have one when I started!? By TriggerThis on 4/13/14TriggerThis would recommend this product to a friendA must have!
I didn't have one, almost crashed my tank putting 30TDS top off water in it every day because I didn't know my DI was exhauseted.
Don't have to worry any more
Literally takes 6 seconds to install
Great product
WORKS WELL UNTIL CALIBRATION IS NEEDED By NONE on 4/10/14NONE would recommend this product to a friendGOOD LUCK CALIBRATING FOR THE AVERAGE JOE. AT THIS POINT IMO IT BECOMES DISPOSABLE. FOR THE PRICE AND GETTING SEVERAL YEARS USE IT IS WHAT IT IS.
put a few on your rodi system By Chicago on 3/25/14Chicago would recommend this product to a friendI love these things. I use two of them on my system. Use for
1. supply water going in
2. water after the pre filters and after carbon
3. after the reverse membrane but beofre the di cartridges
4 last one after the di cartridges to let me know how the final water is.
so easy and great to monitor.
This works really well By Bob on 3/4/14Bob would recommend this product to a friendHooked this up to my older RO unit and was able to see how well the membrane is performing. Its especially amazing to see the difference between the input and output.
Great addition By Manfred on 2/18/14Manfred would recommend this product to a friendAnother way to determine when filter changes are needed. You can see the sediment filter and when it gets dirty. You can see the color change in the DI filter but this meter goes beyond that and confirms numerically what you see actually. Just another RODI precautionary measure.
Great Feedback for RO Membrane By Steve on 2/13/14Steve would recommend this product to a friendI had no idea whether my RO membrane was ready for replacement before installing this TDS meter. It allows you to monitor the performance of the membrane.
Works great By reddog on 2/11/14reddog would recommend this product to a friendThese seem to work very well. One came on my BRS 5-stage RODI system. It had one line of display missing so they sent me a new one asap. It's great to be able to see your incoming TDS and outgoing TDS on the RODI system.
Must have for a rodi system By nicholas on 2/9/14nicholas would recommend this product to a friendI have one of these on my rodi unit now that i thought was reading incorrect but come to find out i got a build a unit from BRS and my first rodi unit didn't work correctly and now it reads right where it should. this definatly saved my tanks from utter distruction
would recommend this product to a friend By Josh on 1/12/14Josh would recommend this product to a friendI have been thinking about getting one of these for a long time. I wish I hadn't waited. Takes guesswork out of filter changes. So easy to install.

Phillies place second baseman Chase Utley on DL
The Philadelphia Phillies have placed veteran second baseman Chase Utley on the 15-day disabled list with a mild oblique strain, according to multiple reports. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the strain may keep Utley out of the lineup for two to four weeks. Backup second baseman Freddy Galvis will replace Utley in the lineup during his stay on the disabled list.
The Phillies are calling the injury a "very mild" grade 1 strain and Amaro expects Utley to be ready to play after his 15 days are over. Utley said he felt a strain in his side during batting practice before Tuesday's game and headed back to Philadelphia to undergo an MRI on Wednesday.
Utley is hitting .272 for the Phillies this season, with seven home runs, 25 RBI and five stolen bases.

Auto Insurance Adjustment
Posted by STAYAWAYFROMTRAVELERS on 01/17/2008
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA -- I just got insurance with Travelers Insurance Company. I was happy with the rate until I made a stupid mistake of calling them to see whether everything is okey with the papers. It took like an hour of interview with the customer representative and somehow she decided to put my old roommate (I even don't know his name correctly) under my insurance. We were just living in the same condo with separate rooms and bathrooms, and I even did not know that he got a learners permit long time ago. I was frustrated with her adding him under my insurance without my consent. I will hopefully be able to cancel the insurance and get my money back. It would be hard though. I can't believe that these people are still in business.
No wonder they do not accept credit cards since they are doing dirty business! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!

Something doesn't make sense. I am assuming you are refering to auto insurance. How is your old roommate tied to your car? If the person is no longer your roommate how would Travlers know to add them on to your insurance.
Was your old roomate allowed to drive the car in the past and received tickets or was involved in an accident?
There seems to be more to this story.
Posted by spiderman2 on 2008-01-18:
I agree. I have had roommates in the past and never had them on any of my insurance.
Posted by STAYAWAYFROMTRAVELERS on 2008-01-18:
I agree, it is ridiculous to add him to my coverage. My old roommate has no connection to the car. He never received tickets or involved in an accident. I even did not know he had a learners permit.
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2008-01-18:
If he is living in your house (you have the EXACT same address) and he has a drivers license and no car or insurance, they can legally add him to your policy. The reason is that he has access to your vehicle at any given time. If you are not living together, you'll have to go out of your way to prove it. Perhaps he never changed his address on his permit/license? Nor did you? If you have two DL's listed at the same address and admit to having lived at the same place, they can add him. It's up to you to prove he doesn't. Good luck.
Posted by jenjenn on 2008-01-18:
I have travelers for auto & home owners. I've had great customer services experiences since I switched over...and saved a lot of money to boot.
Posted by Ponie on 2008-01-18:
I like their commercials.
Posted by STAYAWAYFROMTRAVELERS on 2008-01-18:
Many people have the same mailing adress in this country. It is still hard to understand how come he can be forcefully listed under my insurance without my consent. Also, how in the world do and why do I have to prove he moved?
-Don't believe in the commercials either. It is us who are paying for these commercials!
Posted by STAYAWAYFROMTRAVELERS on 2008-01-22:
Update: The company decided to cancel my full coverage and charge me for the highest possible amount of liability. All beacuse my ex roommate did not have enough CREDIT HISTORY :-) Such a lame excuse to rip off a customer. I got insurance from another company and still trying to get my money back from them!
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2008-01-24:
1. You won't get money back from them. You had coverage from them for a specified amount of time. To even consider being able to get money back from them, you'll have to prove your ex room mate is NOT living with you and that no other licensed uninsured drivers are there either.
2. If the other insurance company thinks your ex roommate is living with you, you'll go through it all over again.
3. If the insurance company thinks another licensed driver is living in the household they can and will add them UNLESS YOU can prove they are not living there OR they have other insurance.
4. If you never changed your DL to your new address and your roommate never changed theirs it shows you are living at the same address. Your DL is supposed to have your CURRENT address (with in 30 days of moving)

Unresolved claim
Posted by Victim Ruth on 12/18/2007
CHEVY CHASE, MARYLAND -- I have just had an experience with Traveler's insurance that was not only frustrating but also profoundly unjust. One of their policyholders hit my brand new car when I was stopped. It was patently clear to the Traveler's employee who came to look at the car that it was not my fault. And yet I could not get Traveler's to act on the claim. After driving around with a damaged new car for 2 and a half weeks with absolutely no cooperation from Travelers I had to go to my own insurance and pay the deductible. I am hoping that my insurance company manages to recover this money but given the Traveler's uncooperativeness there's not guarantee that it will happen.

Contact your state's Insurance Commissioner.
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2007-12-18:
There is some information missing-
Did the other party contact his insurance? THIS is the big thing. Even if you contacted them and he did not, there is nothing they can do until they get confirmation from the other party.
Sadly though, that is how insurance works and why you have it. If you cannot get the other person to "fess up" you can use your insurance and subro for the dedictable.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-12-18:
Isn't that how it is supposed to work? Your insurance company works for you, to pay your claim and recoup the loss from the other company. You shouldn't ever have to deal with the other company directly.
Posted by GWbiker on 2007-12-18:
I had the same issue with a State Farm insurance driver who hit my car. After obtaining a police report which listed the other driver insurance info, I directly contacted State Farm to file a claim. It took 30 days, but her insurance company repaired my car to my satisfaction and even furnished a rental car at no cost to me. BTW, the other driver was operating her car while on a suspended license.

Stay Away from Travelers
Posted by Honestj on 03/08/2010
My sister was hit by a traveler insured driver at an intersection. The Travelers insured driver ran through a stop sign at a T intersection going 55 and hit my sister passenger side door while she was traveling 40 on the road obeying all traffic laws. She fractured her neck. This was back in 2004/2005. Although the police report holds her absolutely unaccountable, Travelers refuses to pay her medical bills. They have done nothing but delay the trial. Meanwhile my sister had to drop out of school where she had a 4.0 and played collegiate sports..she is in constant pain and will need at least 2 or three surgery's in the next 20 years..right now she is has extreme injury throughout her back and experienced traumatic brain injury (her memory is clearly been altered since the accident, we all notice a change). Her life has been on hold for 5 years. They have been hiring private investigators to follow her and found nothing. They now "hired" a doctor to exam her which she just left and apparently he did not xray her, MRI her, and barely touched her back saying she mysteriously developed fibromyalgia and the fact she can't lift her arms above her shoulder are because of this disease that developed and not due to the fact she was t-boned in an accident in which the combined speed was 110 mph and the only reason she lived is because of her air bag.
WHY WHY WHY!!! They are ruining her life! She was a victim of a travler insured driver..she will never play college sports again, she can barely make it through the whole day with out pain... TRAVELERS IS EVIL! THis is not right! Please help me get this company its due! I will go on television, I will talk to reporters, I will do anything!!! This is not right... they should pay for her medical bills so she can go through a day without extreme pain!! Anyone with suggestions please let me know!!!
Apparently, because she has soft muscle damage the insurance company sees this as a pass in which they can get out of paying her on behalf of their client...My sister does not deserve this!!

Posted by spiderman2 on 2010-03-08:
Does your sister have an attorney? You indicate that she suffered a traumatic brain injury but then you indicate that the injuries are soft tissue injuries. These are two very different things. I would suggest your sister talk with her attorney if she has one and if she doesn't have one, she should find one to help her settle her claim. If this happened 5 or 6 years ago, it is probably far too late to file suit, but a qualified attorney can help your sister negotiate with Travelers.
Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2010-03-08:
In addition to Spiderman's recommendation you may want to consider filing a complaint with your state's insurance commissioner. Their behavior is absolutely unacceptable and they probably spent more on trying not to pay than they would had they just paid what is owed. Just stupid.

Travelers Insurance - Your Screwed If Your Hit By One Of Their Insured
Posted by Hit victim on 03/10/2011
Travelers Insurance refuses to pay damages even if damages are written in police report. Police report specifically states their driver was at fault, and that I was NOT. Report also states damages were caused as a result of the accident to sections 3 and 4 of my car, and Travelers only wants to cover section 4. Since section 3 is damage done to passenger rear door, it is obvious why they do not want to cover it, as this would be more costly. This insurance company is rude, and horrible to work with.
They state they try to contact you "multiple" times, even though they only leave ONE message.

Have you informed your insurance company of Traveler's response. Perhaps you could get your car fixed on your insurance and then they could have the job of going after traveler's.
Posted by MDSasquatch on 2011-03-10:
BEJ is right on target; that is exactly what I had to do when I was plowed by a teenager insured through Erie and I was getting the bumrush
Posted by leet60 on 2011-03-10:
Insurance companies for the "other party" in an accident will ALWAYS try to lowball you. If you have not already done so, as BEJ posted, get your insurance company involved immediately.
Posted by Kurizumaru on 2011-03-11:
You can also sue the other driver for the cost of damages and let him/her figure out how to get their insurance to pay up.

Loyalty Gets You Ripped Off
Posted by Gooch on 02/12/2008
MERRICK, NEW YORK -- I am a Travelers customer for over 20 years-I recently priced car insurance from 3 companies and found out I am overpaying as much as $2500 a year. Yes that amount is correct and I have had 0 accidents and between my wife and I drive 12000 miles a year-thats nothing. The best part is that one of the companies I checked was Travellers themselves; I input my current coverage from them and got a quote of $878 for 6 months.
That's $976 less than they charge me now. I called them and was told my policy started in 1985 was a different kind of account. Outrageous.

Posted by madconsumer on 2008-02-12:
how much was your insurance per year if you could save $2500? and for what? mine is about $1200 for full coverage with zero deductible.
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-02-12:
It seems the longer you are with an auto insurance, the more your policy is. The same thing happened to us. They raise it every year even when you have no accidents or tickets.
I checked new insurance last year and went with Ameriprise, through Costco, and we are saving that much per year too--for the same exact coverage (full).
Mad--It depends on where you live as to what rates you are being charged. You will always pay more if you live in or near a big city.
So, if you want to save money, everyone should check their insurance out every couple of years to make sure they aren't paying more than they need to.
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2008-02-12:
It's always good to shop around. If you did your qoute online, there may be some information that is missing or wasn't asked for a generic quote that might change when the policy is written.
Posted by spiderman2 on 2008-02-12:
It does pay to shop around! My insurance on a 2003 Honda Odyssey is only about $700 per year with no tickets and no accidents. PA must be way cheaper!
Posted by jenjenn on 2008-02-13:
That is interesting. I switched to Travelers last year for homeowners and car insurance and it saved me like $300/year. My rates are the lowest I can find.
Posted by gooch on 2008-02-13:
Thanks for the comments-I spoke with Travelers last evening and was told my policy was set up under a different plan in 1985.(It was through my employer with a payroll deduction);they also said they are in the process of changing their rates in NY and asked if I wanted to be switched to someone who would give me a new rate. I files a complaint with the NY dept of Insurance and will wait to see what they say. My new insurer also gave me a great price on an umbrella policy which travellers refused to offer unless I switched my Homeowners policy to them. I stupidly had it in my mind for years that staying with the same company was a benefit in case of an accident, which I have never had. I really believed it was a highly competitive area and the prices wouldn't be much difference. About 10 yars ago I did check and my saving was going to be $75 a year; really not worth switching.
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2008-02-14:
In order to have an umbrella policy, you HAVE to all all property lines at one company. The more policies you have, the more/bigger/better discounts you are eligible for.
What is the NY Dept of Insurance going to do? They were charging you more than you liked? Insurance companies can set prices on their own. Some are higher, some are lower.
Posted by prairecwby on 2008-06-10:
well well well, you would think that a company that has been around for ages would be very honest and upright, or as least in the day and age of fly by night insurance companies online. well you need to avoid auto insurance with this company at all cost.
yes, they gave me a great rate on the front end, but then the letters came in weeks later about increase due to claims showing up on reports that go back 5 years. I was honest and up front about the one accident I had when I was at fault in 2005, but this company does not tell you that they are going to increase your rate if you have ANY claim, your fault or not. So since I was hit by a driver in 2004 and my insurance did not even have to pay the claim. I have to pay a rate increase with travelers. I asked them how they can fault a person that has no control over someone else hitting your car or truck and they reply it is just the way they do it, and you are welcome to shop for other insurance, which I am doing at this time, but I am very upset with the way they do business and needed to vent somewhere and get the word out. Be aware, you will get a good rate at first, but you will be shopping again in 2 months when they nickel and dime you to death.
Posted by JJPSR on 2008-08-11:
PLEASE BLAME YOUR AGENT and YOURSELF FOR NOT CHECKING. MOST COMPANIES COME OUT WITH NEW PRODUCTS ALL THE TIME, GET EITHER APPROVED OR NOT BY THE STATE INS DEPT AND YOUR AGENT SHOULD HAVE REQUOTED IT FOR YOU. BUT YOU WENT OVER THAT WHEN YOU HAD YOUR ANNUAL REVIEW DIDN'T YOU ? OR DID YOU HANG UP ON HIM/HER?
Posted by gooch on 2010-01-12:
I didn't have an agent; the policy was something my company did through payroll deduction. I received a bill every year and after checking one other company and finding that maybe I paid $50 to $75 more a year, I didn't bother switching because back then the payroll deduction was worth it. I stopped checking. Travellers stated that the low quote I got from them was for another company they represented even though I got it on their website and no other company was mentioned. The policy went much higher when my daughter was added as a driver, and never went lower after she had her own insurance with a different company. They put her down on my policy every year stating that if she lived at our address they had to list her. NY State insurance said I had no case because as the Travellers rep. stated, "we sent you a policy with a price and you accepted" screw me

NOT the company to have if you have a DUI
Posted by Rlormor on 08/22/2007
OHIO -- I had Travelers Insurance as my auto insurance coverage from about 2000 - 2007. Mostly, I was quite happy with the premiums. I never had any accident claims, so I cannot comment on the claims service.
However, I received a policy renewal notice from them in August of 2007, as I did every August as my policy always expires at the beginning of September.
Well, they had found that I had a non-accident-causing DUI on my record from December of 2004. I feared that it might eventually show up (there is nothing else on my record), and that I would almost certainly pay a higher premium. I understood that. BUT, they rose me from a yearly premium of about $1600 for 3 OLD cars (a decent rate) to a yearly premium of over $10,600!!! ...A rate hike of over 800%!! I about fell over in my chair when I saw that, and then had it confirmed on the phone. Even the Travelers rep was surprised!
For all of you drivers with a blotch on your driving record, I was able to secure HIGH-RISK coverage from Progressive Insurance Co for LESS than my REGULAR, NO RISK rate with Travelers ($35 per month less!). THAT almost made me fall out of my chair too! :-)

All auto insurance companies check DMV records for liability risk assessment.
$1600 for yearly auto premium. Ouch.
I have a 06 BMW and paid $600 (full coverage)with $250 ded. via GEICO.
Time to shop around for another auto insurance company.

What I did was idiotic.... No excuses.
I'm just laying out the information here for anyone who makes the same dumb mistake.

Thanks rlormor...I apologize for the rant
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-23:
Rlormor--it sounds like you learned from your mistake, so kudos to you. Are DUI's ever wiped off your record (5 years) like other offenses? Just wondering. FYI--rates vary upon where you live. So it's hard to compare rates with others unless you live in the same city.
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2007-08-23:
Insurance person to the rescue:
Here's my thoughts on this. You got "away" with driving with a DUI on your record for MANY years... I have a feeling that you thought that it wouldn't come up... but insurance companies can AND DO periodic and random checks on their insureds. And it's legal, for reasons like yours. I bet you never disclosed to them that you HAD a DUI.
Also, having "old" cars still doesn't tell me what kind of coverage you could have on your vehicles. I've known people with cars who are over 15 years old with FULL coverage on them. So you could have full coverage, max liablility limits and possibly could have gone from a preffered rate to a substandard rate. There are way too many factors for me to get a clear picture of what's going on.
You could have had other tickets that the insurance company "forgave" unless you got another ticket with in X amount of time that could have bumped it up.
It's an unknown...
And now for my stone: I don't feel bad about them raising your rates. Would you rather pay an additional $10K to an insurance company because of your mistake, or use that same money to pay for the funeral expenses of a person whom you killed while driving drunk?
I used to love getting holier-than-thou drinkers in my agency. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "Hey, we've all driven drunk at least once in our lives..." My reply had always been, "I've never driven drunk. Ever. And viewing your record it looks like you've done it X times... not just once." The looks were always priceless.
Posted by downingroove on 2007-11-17:
I'm both an insurance agent and a former drunk driver. I will cast no stones- it sounds like you're fully aware of your mistake. I did the whole payback thing- jail, revoked license, fines, rehab, lost insurance, lost vehicle, and every bit was well deserved. I've been sober for 6 years. After getting my license back, I paid pretty reasonable insurance rates through Progressive. And now the DUI is off my record, and I recently obtained insurance through Geico with great rates. Travelers offers great rates as well, though (as mentioned before) there are sooooo many variables: location (if your neighbor is in another zip code, you could be paying a radically different premium), your age, marital status, other household members, their driving records, not to mention your own driving record. I'm actually a little surprised that Travelers didn't just cancel your policy (not just for the DUI, but for not disclosing it), but you are correct that Travelers may not be the best company for "high-risk" operators.
Just a side note- I have a feeling that when most people only have 1 DUI, it just means that they've only been caught once. That was my experience, anyway.

Downingroove...I drank heavily from the age of 21 until I was 27. During that time I never had an accident or a ticket, which I can only attribute to the sheerest form of good luck. I have been a friend of Bill W's for 32 years now and say a little prayer every day that I didn't kill myself or someone else. Insurance rates are least of a drunks problems.

Travelers Insurance Company: A vicious, scandalous, agency of crooks
Posted by Watches on 09/24/2009
I got into a wreck with one of Travelers' insurers. It was not my fault to start with, however, the adjuster wanted a tape recorded conversation, then wanted to visit my house. As if I were lying, even though the other party admitted to be at fault, I felt like the adjuster was interrogating me. Then, the adjuster offered pennies for my loss and they're concierge center gave the lowest estimate to fix my car. The estimate they gave would not be half way enough to fix my car. Dealing with this insurance company is a big headache. I feel sorry for anybody who has to deal with them. They will give you the run around and they care nothing for their insurers or the loss claimee's. I think they should be outlawed. So, don't look forward to resolving any claims with Travelers unless you retain an attorney. These people are non caring and ruthless. I would recommend that consumers run far, far, away from this company because they do not have no one's best interest but theirs. I am completely dissatisfied with them and plan to contact The Federal Trade Commission and The Insurance Commission. This is the only way to resolve conflicts like this because these agents don't respond, so a Government official is likely to be able to put fire under ther noses!!!!!!!!

Why isn't your own insurance company dealing with them?
Posted by JR in Orlando on 2009-09-24:
Travelers is doing a great job for their insured. You are not the customer, but their enemy. They don't want to pay. You want them to pay. Who ever said they should be nice to you or resolve the issue. Of course, they think you are lying and exaggerating the claim. Wouldn't you if you were in their shoes?
You chose, YOU CHOSE, not to get collision and comprehensive on your vehicle and this is the price you pay for not doing so. If you had, your insurance company would have fixed your car and done all this. Since you chose not to, you have to deal with settling the case and suing if necessary.
If you are asked to give a recorded statement, tell them you want to record it also, so that you have a record of what was said.
Posted by goduke on 2009-09-24:
What makes us think that the OP doesn't have collision of their own?
Posted by jenjenn on 2009-09-24:
I'm sorry, but Geico is the king of crooks.
Posted by JR in Orlando on 2009-09-24:
If the OP had collision, they would not have been as involved in the process of dealing with Travelers. The statement would probably been taken by their own insurance company, who would forward it to Travelers. Also, the op would have gone to their own insurance company for the estimate, not travelers, and would have gotten a more reasonable estimate. This makes me think there is no collision coverage on the op's vehicle.
Posted by MSCANTBEWRONG on 2009-09-24:
The OP's insurance company should be dealing directly with Travlers not the OP.
Posted by JR in Orlando on 2009-09-24:
Your insurance company will only deal with accidents involving the type of coverage you have: If you have no collision, they will not deal with damage to your car or collecting for damage to your car from the other insurance company. It is outside your policy and they have no duty to do so.
Posted by QKC on 2011-05-31:
As someone that works for an insurance company, let me explain why recorded statements are taken. Everyone lies to their insurance company. Common example: each party claims the other merged into their lane. Somebody is lying, but we don't know who, so we just side with our insured. Face to face meetings are common in injuries because again, many people lie. It's disgusting how many people claim injuries from minor, minor accidents. There are so many opportunists who get their bumper tapped at 1 mph in a parking lot and suddenly they are wearing a neck brace and have an attorney. Also, estimates are exactly what their name implies. If the body shop thinks it will cost more to fix the car, trust me, they will call the insurance company. Also, if you get an attorney on a minor accident, you're stupid. They take your money and they draw the claim out for months and months.

The Best Company for My Needs
Posted by Wmlk on 10/25/2013
My friend borrowed my vehicle for a job interview. She had an accident and totaled my car. Travelers took care of everything quickly and professionally. The prices are competitive for the coverage. I would recommend a price quote to anybody. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Great Service
Posted by Surose on 10/05/2013
I ran over something on thehighway late at night. It took off the front bumper and did some damage underneath the car. The next morning, I went to look over the car and saw the damage. I called Travelers that morning. The insurance adjuster came out within 24 hours. I had a rental vehicle that day and throughout until I got my car back approximately 9 days later.

The Best Insurance Is Processing Claims and Level of Professionalism.
Posted by CustomersAreIdiots on 05/17/2013
I was involved in a minor car accident where the other party ran a stop sign. After the police completed their report, I notified my Issuance Company (Travelers Insurance) and explain to them what happened. My information was taken, police report was submitted and the rest was history. In less than 5 business days I had my car back from the shop and was reimburse for my deductible.

Since Travelers floods consumer sites with phony compliments, I can't trust any of their 'compliments'. I certainly wouldn't trust Travelers insurance, either.

See the Cast of 'To Die For' Then and Now
'To Die For,' released in 1995, starred Nicole Kidman as a fame-hungry and ruthless local weather girl who hires three dopey teenagers from a high school to murder her husband. The dark comedy was based in part on a true story and told in mockumentary style, and it helped launch the careers of Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck. Now, 18 years later, we take a look back at the cast of the film and see what they're up to these days.

Comments about Applied Nutrition Natural Fat Burner Softgels - 30 Count:
Picked these up on a whim, at my store they were on sale so I figured why not! After the first week I saw a noticeable difference in my body and appetite!For me there hasn't been much of an energy boost, but I'm an avid caffine drinker so I'm going to guess that the level of caffine in the pill didn't differ much from my normal intake. (However my fiance experienced jitters)Otherwise there have been ZERO downsides to trying this pill; and will definitely continue using!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bisazza Chicago Flagship Store Opens!
The store was designed by Carlo Dal Bianco (director of Bisazza's design studio) and in addition to the mosaics, it carries pieces from the Bisazza Home Collection of furniture and accessories. Last night we checked out the Mosaic Super Ellipse Table (Piet Hein & Bruno Mathsson/Fritz Hansen), the Ottoman Table (Marcel Wanders) and the Madame Folding Screen (Carlo Dal Bianco). So nice to see them in person!
Worth a trip to oooh and aaah over the tiles (and what the desigers who work with Bisazza can do with them), the showroom is conveniently located just across from the Merchandise Mart at 226 West KInzie.

Autograph Posters are Fake!
The "autographs" on my poster look absolutely NOTHING like any of the signed memorabilia you can see on Ebay or Google Images for any 3 of the members. They have to all be fakes!
Look at the picture on this thread under TOUR http://www.zztop.com/forum/tour/2088361
This is what was sent to me.
Look at the picture on this thread under VIP UPGRADES http://www.zztop.com/forum/vip/1845511
This is what was sent to VIPs earlier in the tour.
Here is an Ebay listing for an album that was PSA certified on 5/1/12 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZZ-Top-3x-signed-Fandango-LP-Album-Cover-PSA-DNA-Gibbons-Beard-Hill-autographed-/221109683629?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337b2a05ad
There are obviously NO similarities with what is currently being distributed to VIPs. So unless all 3 members decided to change their signatures over the last 4 months, we are getting hosed! I paid Ground Control for an autographed poster, and that is what Ground Control owes me.

Re: Autograph Posters are Fake!
I am sick of all this crap, with the tickets now this?? OMG Come on, Someone has to be on the ball here....Just such a mess.....
Re: Autograph Posters are Fake!
I love the band, but if the autographs on the posters are fake and the meet and greet is only a photo op (VIP package promises a meet and greet AND a photo), that is fraud. The show was great, but I haven't gotten my poster and I only got 10 secs standing by the band for the photo. I suggest a class action law suit alleging fraud and breach of contract. Perhaps that would get someone's attention.

If you are a legal medical marijuana patient on the East Coast, getting your hands on your medicine could be a matter of life or death.
"We have had patients that have been held up at gun point, robbed and scared to death when trying to get their medicine," says Joanne Leppanen, asssociate director of the Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition, a group representing the interests of patients and caretakers. "We even had a patient trying to buy medicine when a raid happened."
While four states in the East have legalized medical marijuana (Maine, Vermont, Rhode Islandand New Jersey), none have an accompanying distribution system, like dispensaries, leaving patients on their own as to how to get their marijuana.
"Patients will say, 'Hey I have this card, is it going to help me?' What can we tell them? They can feel very defeated knowing something is out there that can help them, but having no access," says Leppanen. "It's heartbreaking because they are no realistic options."
The situation may soon improve. Three of the four states (Maine, Rhode Island and New Jersey) have recently passed legislation to establish state-licensed institutions that will sell medical marijuana to qualifying patients.
That said, however, these marijuana vendors won't be anywhere near as sophisticated as the pot retailers in Coloradoor California, where both dispensaries and profits are plentiful. (Rounding out the 14 states where the practice is legal are Oregon, Washington, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Michigan, Hawaiiand Alaska.)
In fact, the East Coast outlets won't even be called "dispensaries," but "compassion centers," or "alternative treatment centers" and will be not-for-profit organizations.
Distribution Disaster
Although Maine and Rhode Island have just recently approved distribution systems, laws allowing qualifying patients to use medical marijuana have been in place much longer.
Maine legalized medical marijuana in 1999, Rhode Island in 2006. But the laws contained no provisions for consumption and distribution, leaving the details to the regulators. The laws simply spelled out how much marijuana patients and their caretakers could possess and grow.
"We're sort of late out of the gate with this," says Charles Alexandre, the director of the Medical Marijuana Program at the Rhode Island Department of Health. "It seems sort of chaotic on the West Coast. I think our legislature was trying to avoid that."
One way state lawmakers are clearly trying to avoid the dispensary explosion trend of the West is by limiting the number of state-licensed marijuana outlets.
Hazy in New Jersey
In Rhode Island, for example, while there are 1,502 registered medical marijuana patients, only up to three nonprofit compassion centers will be allowed to operate. In Maine, where there is an undetermined number of patients because no registration program is functioning as of yet, the number of dispensaries will be limited to eight (more will be considered after the first year of operation) and all dispensaries will be subject to the state's five percent sales tax.
New Jersey is launching its distribution network with six non-profit, alternative treatment centers, with two in each of the state's three regions. The first two in each region are required to be nonprofit, after which, approved alternative treatment centers may be either nonprofit or for-profit, according to the New Jersey law. It is undetermined when patients may begin to apply for the state medical marijuana program.
Details regarding how and when these state-licensed dispensaries will begin operating are somewhat hazy, especially in New Jersey and Maine where state health departments are still figuring out program details.
Rhode Island has the clearest deadlines for the application process. The state will stop taking applications on May 17 and then announce what organization will become the first compassion center on July 10.
As of early April, however, not one application had been received.
Alexandre says even if the state winds up receiving multiple applications there's no guarantee any one of them will qualify.
Vermont, which legalized medical marijuana in 2004, has no legal provisions for dispensaries, but currently there are several House bills pending in committee which propose a distribution system. Two of the bills consider establishing not-for-profit 'compassion centers', one of which also proposes a study be conducted regarding what changes in law are necessary to permit pharmacies to distribute medical marijuana. Another bill proposes that marijuana seized in criminal cases be distributed to registered medical marijuana patients at liquor stores under the regulation of the department of liquor control.
Worries About Price
If that isn't enough uncertainty, medical marijuana patients don't even know what the official centers will charge.
"Patients get a little apprehensive because they hear that some dispensaries have a good profit margin, but those are prices they just cannot afford," says Leppanen.
In Denver, for instance, the average cost of an ounce of marijuana is $350, but it can range from $200 to $500.
The Rhode Island Department of Health will not regulate the prices of the medical marijuana. The fact that there may be only one dispensary with unregulated prices worries patients because a lot of medical marijuana patients in the state are from lower-income brackets who are already struggling financially, says Leppanen.
"We hope that they would be altruistic and would handle their business so people would not be priced out, but it's not something we will regulate," says Alexandre.
Savvy entrepreneurs are already trying to tap into the new market.
Rob Correy, a Colorado attorney who specializes in criminal defense and medical marijuana, says he receives numerous phone calls from dispensary owners on a regular basis asking about how they can set up shop in East Coast states.
Despite years of uncertainty and waiting, some medical marijuana patients remain optimistic.
Mary-Anne Hanley, a 52-year-old Rhode Island resident with chronic Lyme's disease, says she thinks the state-licensed dispensaries are a good idea because they are less-likely targets of federal raids.
"I'm hopeful about it," says Hanley. "I would let them be my caregiver, if I feel like they are reasonable with their prices."

I bought this bridge as a retrofit for an old Gotoh 201 style bridge on my 90s Yamaha jazz bass. I was weary of the price tag but decided to pull the trigger regardless. The bridge feels sturdy, and having the string overwrap not sit on the saddles is great. The small details like the knurled saddles and the slightly oblong string hole shape (helps maintain proper string angle without bend between string slots and saddle) make this a great buy.
I was getting ready to put together a Jazz Bass and was looking at bridges. I have always liked the vintage Fender bridges with the knurled saddles. When I first saw this bridge on Stew Mac's site I was a bit hesitant because there were no reviews. Then I saw it was stainless steel so I took the plunge. I can tell you this bass bridge is much better in hand than it seems looking at it on the PC screen. It is very stout and does have a little weight to it but I can tell you my jazz has fantastic sustain and I can feel the notes resonate in my thumb all the way up and down the neck. I also thought the price they were asking for this type of bridge was a little high but after getting it on my bass and playing it for a few weeks I can tell you it was well worth it. Intonation was easy. Plenty of adjustment room and the knurled saddles makes for easy placement of the strings over the pickup pole pieces. It really is a nice bridge!
