An online tool shows how dealing with traffic accidents can become more efficient.
Accidentsketch is a simple online interface that allows users to quickly report the details of an accident. The drag and drop tool has a number of road-shape, traffic sign, and vehicle components that can be arranged to assist more accurate reporting of accidents. The tool is online-only for now, but we expect to see the concept implemented by insurance organizations onto mobile interfaces that allow users to more easily file claims.

DENVER, October 1, 2013 Chronic use of prescription painkillers, also known as opioids, among obese patients prior to bariatric surgery continues after surgery, according to a new Kaiser Permanente study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers examined the electronic medical records of 11,719 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2005-2009 at one of 10 U.S. sites in the Scalable Partnering Network. Participating patients were evaluated one year before and one year after surgery. Seventy-seven percent of the obese patients who exhibited chronic opioid use prior to surgery continued to use these medications chronically one year after their procedure. Chronic opioid use among these patients also increased by 13 percent the first year after surgery.
"Obese patients are often more sensitive to pain and tend to be prescribed increasing opioid doses in order to manage that pain," said lead study author Marsha A. Raebel, PharmD, a senior investigator at Kaiser Permanente's Institute for Health Research.
In the year prior to their surgical procedures, 56 percent of the patients in this study reported no opioid use for pain management, 36 percent used some opioids and 8 percent used opioids on a chronic basis. Chronic opioid use was defined as having 10 or more prescriptions over at least 90 days or at least a 120-day total supply of medication sometime in the year prior to surgery. Some opioid use was defined as one to nine prescriptions over 90 days or less than a 120-day supply.
"There are limited options for pain management available to bariatric surgery patients because non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications increase the risk of ulcers, particularly after bariatric surgery," said Dr. Raebel. "Given the increasing chronic usage rate reported in this study, it's clear that the medical community needs to develop better pain management programs for patients who

Just wanted to post and say we finally chose our new TV - the Sony Bravia 40" true LCD. Best Buy delivered it and set it up for us, and it's wonderful. Great picture with digital cable..I've noticed some commercials were a little on the grainy side, but the movies and TV shows we looked at are just fine. We surfed channels for hours and didn't see anything that hated in terms of picture quality. We ended up spending more than we had planned to, but love what we got, so I guess it's worth it in the end.
Thanks to everyone who passed on info when we were looking - it really helped to narrow down choices! |

Congrats Clara! Glad to hear everything worked out. -jasper |
meskauskas: How do you like your sony bravia. Any concerns, complaints. We are considering purchasing one like yours 40". Any feed back would be helpful. |
- Posted by jolly__roger (My Page) on Fri, Aug 4, 06 at 2:35
Looks good to me even when it is off. |
Congrats on a great purchase. We will be getting one for the MBR. Price is not an issue, but size is, since the room is small. I have an old funky 31" regular TV in there now, and that monster is the focal point in the room. UGH. Wanted to get the 40" Bravia, but will probably do the 32" and use the 55" big screen tv in the LR when we must have the full theater experience. PS: I mostly watch B&W DVD's from the 30's, 40's and 50's. I took some of my favorite DVD's (Casablanca; north by northwest; Notorious) down to Best Buy and they let me demo them through the Bravias - They looked terrific as they are all remastered versions. The black bars on the sides did not bother me either, like the older LCD's where the bars were grey and really stood out. I know what TV to get but have been waiting for 2 years now to find a stand I like. It must fit in with our modernist home and have a minimalist design, yet function well for holding the Tivo box, DVD player, and yes, the old VCR. Enjoy your new set!! L |
did you get a 40" Lcd for the HD picture or for the cool packaging? thin sets are so neat. I have 53" rptv and a 42" plasma and the rptv seems like a dinosaur. I have a large room for the rptv so I can deal with it. the plasma can fit anywhere which is nice. |

For the fifth consecutive year, members of the Einstein community gathered to participate in Einstein's annual World Cup soccer tournament. The competition, which also serves as a special community fundraiser, was introduced in 2009 by Dr. Laura Norwood Toro and Dr. Joerg Schlatterer, inspired by Einstein's extensive international community and by the World Cup played in South Africa that year.
This year's celebration of the world's most popular sport featured 11 teams competing for bragging rights on behalf of nations and cultures from around the globe, including Madagascar, Latin America, Brazil, China, Guatemala, Atlantis, Germany, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy and Colombia. In the end, Latin America and Germany faced off in the final match, with Latin America winning the championship by a score of 6 to 1.
As in past years, in addition to promoting sportsmanship and camaraderie, the tournament participants raised a total of $1,100 for the Teak Fellowship, a charity designed to help talented New York City students from low-income families gain admission to and succeed at top high schools and colleges. In the five years since Einstein began holding its World Cup, the competitors have teamed to raise more than $5,100 to support this worthy cause.
Local sponsors, Good to Go and M&R Deli, provided food and refreshments served at the tournament.

New Alzheimer's Therapy Targets And Approaches Reported At Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2013
"A critical issue to consider for potential regenerative therapies for Alzheimer's is the ongoing and progressive burden of brain cell death caused by the disease. It is not sufficient solely to generate new neurons and to promote their survival; it is necessary to reduce the ongoing burden of pathology for there to be long-term benefits for cognition and function," Brinton added. "We were very encouraged to discover that Allo reduced the burden of Alzheimer's pathology. Our latest findings are very exciting as they show that Allo increases the energy capacity of the brain. This is important because the generation of new neurons, new synaptic circuits and synaptic transmission all require substantial energy."
Phase 3 Trial of Pioglitazone to Delay Onset of MCI in Cognitively Normal Elderly (1) Uses Genetics to Enrich the Study Population and (2) Is Designed to Verify New Diagnostic Criteria
International trials to delay onset of MCI due to Alzheimer's disease are complex in design, requiring careful consideration of case definition, site characteristics, selection of primary outcome metrics and methods to ensure appropriate cultural and psychometric validation. They require innovations in approach to recruit the most appropriate study population, provide consistent MCI diagnoses across countries and to ensure the credibility of their results.
Kathleen A. Welsh-Bohmer, Ph.D., of the Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Duke University Medical Center, and her colleagues at Zinfandel and Takeda Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., are currently initiating an international Phase 3 trial of low dose pioglitazone, a medication which at higher doses is approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes, as a therapy to delay onset of MCI due to Alzheimer's. The trial will begin enrollment in 2013. In earlier human studies, treatment with pioglitazone was associated with decreased markers of brain inflammation.
Study participants will be cognitively normal individuals who carry genetic risk variations in the APOE and TOMM40 genes that are associated with an increased risk of earlier onset of symptoms of Alzheimer's. By recruiting people with this genetic combination, the researchers believe they will enrich the study population so more participants will get MCI and/or Alzheimer's during the course of the trial.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Two major health care companies plan to open competing hospitals in Gilbert in the same year on opposite sides of Val Vista Drive.
Banner Health and Catholic Healthcare West are in escrow for land just south of the future San Tan Freeway stretch of Loop 202, but the Gilbert Town Council must approve general plan amendments for both projects before construction. Both companies hope to open in 2006.
A recent land deal by Banner Health to abandon an approved hospital site a few miles away — at Ray and Greenfield roads — has made the two groups neighbors. But both say the actions of their competitors will not affect future plans.
"We don't view this as a race," said Paul Gilbert, an attorney representing Banner Health. "If two hospitals are approved and two are under construction, we're still going forward."
Attorney Ralph Pew, who represents the property owners of the Catholic Healthcare site, said the market should determine the outcome.
"This is not a matter of choosing one over the other," Pew said. "We're going forward with ours and they can go forward with theirs."
Scott Nordlund, Catholic Healthcare vice president of strategy and business development for Arizona and Nevada, said he had "no reaction" to Banner Health's new acquisition.
"We're focused on our relationship with the community . . . and on what we could bring," Nordlund said.
Banner Health is a Phoenixbased company that operates four Mesa hospitals, including Banner Desert Medical Center, formerly Desert Samaritan Hospital, as well as Banner Mesa Medical Center, Banner Baywood Medical Center and Banner Baywood Heart Hospital. It also owns Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix. Banner took over the the former Samaritan and Lutheran hospitals.
Catholic Healthcare operates Chandler Regional Medical Center, as well as St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center and Barrow Neurological Institute, both in Phoenix.
Both companies want to build in the Gilbert market to serve the fast-growing far south East Valley, which lacks a regional hospital. Before that happens, however, the county, Gilbert and public will have their say.
Banner Health's former hospital site near Ray and Greenfield roads was purchased in 1999 by Lutheran Health Systems, which merged with Banner Health later that year.
Susan Doria, Banner Health senior vice president for strategic development, said the company did not believe it was a good site because of a lack of freeway access and the Union Pacific Railroad track and started looking for a different location a year ago, with increased activity beginning earlier this year.
Banner Health was able to purchase the Val Vista Drive site, which is just less than 40 acres and lies in unincorporated county land. The land needs to be rezoned for a hospital and must undergo a minor general plan amendment, which can be approved by the Gilbert Town Council at any time during the year.
Paul Gilbert said Banner Health plans to file a rezoning case with Maricopa County as early as next week, file the minor general plan amendment with the town and later request annexation into Gilbert. He said the zoning is being done at the county level to avoid a possible town referendum.
For a successful citizens' referendum in Gilbert, fewer than than 1,000 signatures are needed. At the county level, it's more than 100,000.
The decision, however, does not sit well with Gilbert officials.
"We're extremely uncomfortable with that, especially something of that magnitude," Gilbert Town Manager George Pettit said. "If in fact it's something to benefit the community, bring it in and run it through the town's process."
Pettit said the county has indicated it will not rezone property if it does not conform with the area's general plan.
Gilbert planning director Jerry Swanson said it typically takes four to six months for a minor general plan amendment to reach the council, which makes the final decision.
Catholic Healthcare, whose site is inside town limits, filed a major general plan amendment — for properties greater than 40 acres — late last month. These amendments can only be approved once a year, according to state legislation. Swanson said Catholic Healthcare met the deadline to have its request heard at the Town Council's annual major general plan amendment hearing in December, putting both projects on a similar schedule with the town.
Banner Health hopes to begin construction in May and open in the first three months of 2006, Doria said. Catholic Healthcare did not have a construction time frame for its 60-acre project, but expects to open "within three years," Nordlund said.

Have You Seen This Copywriting Mistake on Twitter?
Posted on August 23rd 2014
Imagine you're at a social event. You walk in the door and someone introduces themselves to you. As soon as you introduce yourself, they launch into their sales pitch.
How would you respond?
You'd probably leave the conversation as quickly as you could. You'd probably be turned off immediately, as they haven't taken any time to build rapport with you and to understand what your needs and desires are.
Unfortunately the very similar thing happens too often on Twitter.
When connecting to new people you'll often receive an automated message. I'm sure you've encountered some of these:
"Hey, you should like my Facebook page, go to www…"
"Thanks for the follow! Please retweet my …"
"Check out my web site at www…"
"Subscribe to my YouTube channel…"
What these people fail to realize is that you can't ask for something from someone when you haven't first established any sort of rapport or relationship.
A key tenet of copywriting is that you need to address the underlying needs, desires, and problems of your target audience. And this is where many businesses on Twitter are making a big mistake. They lead with "me, me, me" or "we, we, we" instead of "how can we deliver value to you?".
To gain followers and customers, you first need to establish a relationship.
How do you do this? Offer them something of value. Offer assistance. Invite them to contact you with questions they have on the topic you're an expert in. You could offer new followers a deal or discount if they become a new customer.
I encourage these businesses on Twitter, who too quickly jump into their sales pitch, to take more time to build rapport with their prospects and find ways to add value to them.
Focus on your customer's value, on their problems and desires. It's the key to winning.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jerri Unsatisfactory
Was very disappointed that our room was NOT what was reserved. Instead of the 2 doubles reserved, only one king bed was available. Reservation was made for family of 4/2 adults + 2 children. Only due to illness did my wife stay home with other son but the purpose of 2 beds was to be able to sleep comfortably; this could NOT be accomplished with son who was all over the bed. We expected better service from a hotel such as the Sheraton, which is why we were willing to pay higher price for room reservation.

We stayed here only because of its convenience to a business appointment. 1st I fixed the toilet in our room - the flush chain had come loose. 2nd I had a drink in the lounge - was quoted a price then charged $1.50 more. I had to ask the bartender about it. No explanation or apology from him. 3rd there were lots of young people lounging in the lobby due to events at the hotel but no one seemed to care about their behavior. Did not present a professional appearance for the hotel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sailorstl Hotel is nice - wireless internet service undependable - outrageous cost for phone calls
Outrageous $2.00 charge per call for a 1-800 phone call. There was supposedly a nondescript card that had that information on the desk in the room, but I did not see it.
Very poor wireless internet service. It was down two of the four nights of my stay.
A sign in the elevator indicated that the hotel coffee shop opened at 6:00 a.m. but when I went to get breakfast on my check-out day, the sign at the entrance to the restaurant said it didn't open until 6:30 a.m. – no breakfast for me that morning.

I was there for 1 night. I checked in and dropped my bags off at the front at 8P, upon my return at 11P, my bags were still not in my room. I called the front desk and the person who answered the phone said, "I just got here, I have no idea." Finally received my bags around 11:30P. Called for a wake up call, never got one. In the morning, went to the gym, came back, got in shower, there was a cockroach crawling on my shower stall, I left promptly.

Rated 2 out of 5 by zked This hotel needs upgrades
The WIFI service was inconsistent in the meeting room (Crescent) area and continuously dropped - causing me to lose client information in mid transaction. The first staff person I asked about the issue said he "would take care of that" and I never saw him again. The remainder of the staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
The hot water in the shower never became hot and the surface of the shower/tub is slippery to the point of danger.
Those plastic/rubber sheets are in no way comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BigAl45 Hotel is understaffed in summer
Three things cause me to suspect that the Sheraton Crescent cuts way back on staff in summer when few visitors come to Phoenix:
1) Waterslide was only open intermittently; 2) I had to wait 5-10 minutes for someone to show up and serve me in the lounge at 5:00 p.m.
3) When I went to the little coffee/gift shop at 8:00 a.m., I had to wait for someone to come and open up.
All staff were extremely friendly and helpful once on the scene, but it was a bit irritating to have to wait for service.

If it wasn't for our fabulous experience with the front desck manager and the maid, the ratings would be siginficantly worse. Several plumbing issues in our room, including black smelly stuff coming from our sink. Pool was supposed to be heated and it wasn't. Had to ask for someone to come out and open the slide if wanted to use it. Club lounge was a joke (except for the guy who staffed it in the morning). Poor food selection. Frequently out of food. Fridge for drinks was broken.

I stayed 3 nights and I want to mention about the staff member, Garrett, in the Indigo restaurant. After my first buffet breakfast, he remembered that I liked having hot tea, so the second morning, he saw me walking in, then brought various teabags, hot water in a cup, along with an extra pot of hot water, and honey. I didn't ask for those; they were right in front of me. He is an excellent server, who pays attention to details. I enjoyed my breakfast, and appreciated his service.

.We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and we were pleased with the room. It was clean and comfortable. There was only two small negatives and one was the toilet ran all the time so we had to make sure we kept the bathroom door shut. We paid extra to have the extra amenities that we didn't really use but did enjoy the cont breakfast and appetizers in the evening. We ate in the restaurant the first night, we felt rushed and it was not that great so we ate out after that.

two night stay; left this morning at 8;30 for business mtg. and returned about 8:00 PM. Walked in my room and it had not been cleaned, not touched. Front desk acts like you must have left something on the door.
At 8:30 at night they want to send housekeeping and act like everything is OK. Now I have worked all day and had dinner with a client and then want to hear we will send housecleaning. Won't stay here again! Food at best is OK, service at best OK.

This is a lovely hotel - modern, clean and comfortable. However, it is the first hotel I've stayed in that I can remember that did not have a mini frig or a microwave oven in the room. Not only was this inconvenient for me, but this hotel is used by large groups (volleyball and baseball tournament players) whose families bring water and snacks to feel hungry athletes. The lack of these amenities made this very problematic.

When I arrived I was informed that I had been upgraded to a suite. I was impressed with the size of the suite, it was clean and appeared fine. It wasn't until I tried to turn the heat on in my room that I had a problem. It blew cold air all night. I called and reported it before leaving the next morning and also informed someone at the front desk my bedroom TV did not get good reception. The TV was fixed but I never did have heat in room #258.

Rated 3 out of 5 by snoopsterj Small uncomfortable beds and pillows
On the club level, there are no rooms that work for a family or more than 3 people, really. They have 2 small doubles, or one king. The beds are very uncomfortable and the sheets come up off the bed with the slighest movement. The pillows are just horrible. The room size is nice and spacious, so there is room for larger beds or a pull out sofa. The waterslde, pool, and hot tub were very nice. The breakfast was decent, but could've been better.

Love this hotel; have been twice in

The staff are very helpful and friendly. They have tennis courts, racquetball, a fitness room, Starbucks, and nice shade trees. I was impressed with all you get for the price. It is not a fancy Sheraton but my family loves it!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton Crescent very much, particularly due to the beautiful lobby, courteous staff and beautiful rooms. The kids love the pools and big slides. We stayed in a room with a delux balcony, which was delightful. Our only negative experience was the Indigo Bistro buffet breakfast, which was quite poor in quality and the Coyote Care (Starbucks) was not adequately supplied...disappointing.

The evening was very noisy where a young child from across the hall consistently ran from his room to another slamming doors or knocking on doors to get in. It was very disruptive. And as I left my room at 8 am for a business meeting, I found that the routine had now continued however this time, it was a young woman running between two rooms. If it were not for that experience, I would have ranked the stay higher

Rated 5 out of 5 by MaryInFlagstaff Stay at the Phoenix Sheraton Crescent Hotel!
I stayed at the Phoenix Sheraton Crescent Hotel off I-17 (at Dunlap) for a conference (of approx 600 people). The hotel was so easy to get to from the highway and parking was no problem. I arrived at the conference expecting a nice place to stay, but the Sheraton Crescent exceeded my expectations! My room was upgraded for no extra charge if I joined the Sheraton Preferred Club (free). The accommodations and amenities were better than most places I have stayed at in the Phoenix area. The bed was VERY comfortable and everything was easily accessible. The meeting rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. The pool was very nice and the bar next to the lobby was fun. The food (in the dining room and outside in the courtyard for lunch) was FANTASTIC and the staff was so efficient, friendly and helpful -- I would highly recommend staying at the Sheraton Crescent Hotel!!

We were disappointed that there was a $10 per day charge for WiFi in the room, When we mentioned that when leaving, we were told we should have complained and they would have given it to us. Great? We were also disappointed with the pool facilities. No shade in the broiling Phoenix sun. We could have paid $50 for four hours in a cabana.

Your standards should be higher than they are. Our first room was a disaster, first the tv channels did not all come in, the bedding was old and stained. The bed skirts were dirty and I don't recommend doing the greener choice because housekeeper will not make your beds or take out your trash. The second room the put us in was on the club level which we thought would be nicer, but no it wasn't. The bed skirts were dirty and there was a crack in the sink that looked ghetto. The evening hot snack were empty every time we went to it and the beverage selection was small. Last we were told the water slide opened up at 8:30am in the morning but when I took my grandson to it at 9:40am it was not open and I was told there was 1 person in charge of it and he wasn't at work yet. The only reason we booked this hotel was for the water slide to take our grand kids to. And the only thing great about the hotel was the shampoo, conditioner, soap and Starbucks coffee in the rooms.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Vicki55 Quick Overnight Stay
We checked in at 7 PM & checked out by noon the next day. We only interacted with staff upon check in & check out. Staff was friendly. We're SPG Gold Members, but we were not offered an upgraded room. In fact our room overlooked a rooftop. At check out, they didn't ask if everything was ok. If they had asked, I would've mentioned that our toilet barely flushed & wouldn't stop running most of the time (room 336). The noisy A/C was an annoyance. No matter what temp we set it at, it ran nonstop, rather than turning on & off. If we were staying longer, I definitely would've asked for a different room. On the positive side, the bed was very comfortable, & the shower was nice. The lobby was inviting, & the flavored water in the lobby was refreshing. There was some large function going on, & all of those people seemed to be having a positive experience at the hotel. I'd definitely stay here again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lynn Mixed review
The hotel amenities were lovely with a nice pool and hot tub, tennis courts and even racquetball courts. The exercise room was in the basement and could only be reached through a long corridor on the second floor and then descending two floors in an outer stairway. Yuck. The rooms were sparce, balconies small and dirty. Food in the hotel was outrageously expensive. The staff was very pleasant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FriarTuck as always
To my surprise and eventual delight I was given a room on the seventh floor with its access to the club room or whatever it's called and a delicious continental breakfast. better continents than most I've experienced. At check-in clerk commented on this being by 10 Starwood stay but made no reference to giving me the 7th floor room and is significance, so i was all a surprise to me. Thanks.!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Az1010 Good / Bad
More elegant than I expected. Large room, high ceilings, marble floors, 2 balconies. Location convenient but lots of traffic noise. Sink drain was seriously clogged, no washcloths in room. Had to ask twice for green choice points, nobody collected the card from the doorknob. $10/day for Internet. Supposed to have free wifi in lobby but we couldn't connect to it. Bed & pillows were comfy.

Perfect vacation home!
This cottage is everything you can ask for. Your own private lane makes you feel special right from the start. The sparkling clean house, cozy decor, beautiful porch & deck, hammock under the trees & the cool breeze from the woods transport you to the ultimate vacation state-of-mind. For a little break into reality, the cottage is equipped with internet & 2 TVs. Lee & Rosezell were wonderful homeowners. They love their house & their guests and take care of them to the best of their abilities. We were 6 people staying here and had one of the most comfortable, memorable, value-for-money vacations. Grocery store, beaches, golf courses, hammock & village boutique shops & the beautiful Brookgreen gardens all within 5-10 minutes away. Skip the expensive, crowded myrtle beach hotels, kick back & enjoy the tranquility at the Rose cottage. You cannot go wrong with this choice!

Time to produce jobsMay 5, 2013We need more jobs and economic growth in Pennsylvania, so we can't sit on the sidelines when over 1,000 good Pennsylvania jobs could be lost to out-of state workers.... pinecrMany texans are moving into our area and I don't think it is because of the beautiful scenery...gas industry has sold this state a bill of worthless goods...saying how they will hire local, well take a look around at any bar on the Pine Creek road and you will see it filled with gas workers from out of state enjoying a brew before or after work. Most jobs will be filled with out of state workers because that is always the way of the gas industry...and once the gas industry is done with this state there will be many, many empty hotels and motels and we will be a ghost town like so many before us...same old story like in so many other states where the gasholes have been...pollute the area and then leave. 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » gavinf56Chuck, lol, you just make stuff up as you go now. born here, sorry about that, you got caught in some crossfire. Yea I know it's both sides and its not going to stop even when Corbett loses the next election. 4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BornHereI didn't say it was Corbett's fault. Rendell $200,000 from the industry. In one way or the other all of these politicians are in the gas industries pocketbook. 5 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CMReederPrivate industry doesn't provide temporary jobs Gavin they provide 'real' jobs. At least that is what you on the right say they create real jobs for real people. Government need not apply. 5 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CMReederAs usual Gavin you veered from the topic in your fyi. You did nothing but provocate and you know it. I did not write the letter. Jobs will go to those who are qualified and depending on who is the employer whether they will be union or not. Construction is temporary. Life of the finished facility in this case will depend on the viability of the resource operated by non-union industries. 3 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CMReederRendell gave the keyes but Corbett open the flood gates to the gas companies. 5 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » gavinf56You almost have to laugh at the"Government spends taxpayers money for temp jobs is good, private industry spending money for those same type jobs is bad" mentality. 4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » gavinf56Rendell gave the gas companies the keys, but yet it's Corbett's fault. Drink. 3 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » gavinf56The fyi addressed to you made no mention about "locals", but that you addressed it as such isn't surprising with your long history of reading comprehension. 4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CMReeder"The liberals on this forum do not understnd that liberals in Harrisburg will not stop drilling, just tax the*****out of it in order to line their own pockets." Meanwhile the conservatives have sold out PA and the gas company has stuffed their pockets. 5 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CMReederFor my information, how sweet. They are temporary jobs and I'm not the one who wrote the letter complaining that locals not getting these jobs. But as usual Mr. Ferringer you are clueless. 6 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BornHereThe reason Gas Companies are going to North Dakota is farmers and ranchers cannot prevent drillers from drilling. The rights to the minerals below these farms and ranches were separated from the rights to the land decades ago. All of this drilling is being done without anyone's consent, so drilling companies are doing whatever they want. 8 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » gavinf56...and for Mr. Reeders information, these type of construction projects pay very well, union or not and you will not see those "undocumented workers" at these type of job sites. 7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » gavinf56TTfP, I agree. Google "Construction of Front Royal power plant sparks hiring" and read the Shenandoah Valley article about them gas power plant going in there. The GC is from TX. People go to where the jobs are and to think that a contractor building a project needs to use only local labor is just plain ridiculous. 6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ToTEXASfromPAGavin56, I do agree there will be a lot from PA that fill the jobs (probably the majority) but if Moxie doesn't want to make a pledge to the government officials that ALL jobs (at least that is the way I interpreted the LTE) will be filled from PA residents, it is because they probably plan on using other contractors and/or subs to do or supervise the job. In looking at some of the experiences and past projects that the company leadership has worked on, several of the GC's were from other states. I would suspect they would bid these companies that they have had good experiences with. In the end, I believe that we both would think the free-market ought to be allowed to determine how it goes and keep the government from dictating. 8 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » eriklatranyiThe liberals on this forum do not understnd that liberals in Harrisburg will not stop drilling, just tax the*****out of it in order to line their own pockets. 6 Agrees | 9 Disagrees | Report Abuse » eriklatranyiTgrammiex4: Domestic, low-cost energy will produce manufacturing jobs, but we still need to address taxes, regulations and the unwillingness by some to actually work. 11 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Tgrammiex4We need not only gas co. jobs here but manufacturing jobs. So many have closed/ left the area. There's a segment of the population here who have worked these types of jobs thier whole lives. Too young to retire but old enough that college would not be worthwhile at this stage of thier lives. This whole country needs to start making things again and do it competatively. 6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CMReederAnother anti government, tax, liberal rant form pinhead Eric. 12 Agrees | 12 Disagrees | Report Abuse » eriklatranyiThe gas industry has also moved to North Dakota where they do not have protesters demonstrating and liberals rubbing their hands together for the tax revenue. 10 Agrees | 11 Disagrees | Report Abuse » eriklatranyiThe GC for this project will be from out of the area....there are no local GCs who have experience building power plants.

If you're holding events such as gatherings or special occasions, you will save extra money if you purchase wholesale goods as opposed to buying these products on retail. In case you are fond of online shopping using your smartphone or tablet, do not allow any website store your password automatically given that somebody else would likely gain access to your web personal accounts in the event that they obtain your phone.
A decent online shop must be easy to use. This will allow shoppers to effortlessly move around all throughout the website, choose the items they want, place the item in their shopping cart, and then make payments when they check out. There are lots of disadvantages included when buying from a private online merchant like products which aren't delivered, products which don't match the details provided, poor after sales service, or wrong use of one's credit card specifics. When you're purchasing from a merchant you aren't experienced with, make sure to study them beforehand. You should not be enticed by job offers that publicize how one can earn income within your extra time over the internet. Unfortunately, many of these will have you pay to learn the tactics along with the url to the site where you can look for jobs. This is in reality a rip-off because the tricks they'll actually show you are unbeneficial.

In case you are buying from several online merchants, it's best to have various security passwords for every single personal account.
