Ratings for Dr. Paul H. Crane
Dr Crane is charismatic and appears holistic in his desire. However for the near $10,000 dollars the office staff are very poorly trained with poor etiquette and it seems all anyone cares about is money. They just keep asking for money even if the delivery isn't close all anyone cares about even after getting half the money up front is more money and honestly there is zero service or extra attention in fact his staff is exceptionally rude. He is probably great but the only time we determine that is the birth I suppose but everything before is mediocre and below. I don't know about the birth I haven't dicered yet. So overall I am not impressed and I do think he should reconsider his staff.
Lovely and caring man. We are not a wealthy family. His service to us could not be better
I was a patient of Dr Crane from the age of 17.5yrs old until I was 44 yes old. He is the best of the best Dr's in my opinion. He delivered all 3 of my children and got me through alot. Dr Crane is very know legible and I would to this day trust him with my life. The only reason I stopped going to him is because I moved out of State. I am 59 yes old today and if anything thing we're to happen on a serious level, he would be the first one I would call for advise.
I have seen Dr. Crane periodically since the early 1990s for breast issues. Besides being an expert at breast ultrasound, he has always been very caring and gentle. Once, when I was short on money he sent samples to the labs at his own expense. I trust him and would highly recommend him.
worst experience of my life.Could not have been treated more roughly .still dealing with it.
Dr. Crane delivered both of our daughters. Our experience has been more than excelent. He is very commited to his patients, very kind and extremely knowledgeable. He is the best OBGYN
he was wonderful. had a miscarriage. then became pregnant and dr. crane saw me thorughout the pregnancy and delivered me. always freindly, very knowledgable. call back and then again to check on you. felt very calm in his hands. wonderful experience. can't say the same for ceders sinai.
Paul Crane is the best doctor ever. He helped me through a terrible miscarriage and then encouraged me to get pregnant again and he delivered my two high risk (due to age) pregnancies. He will meet you in his office at any hour of the day or night. Returns all calls asap and saw me almost every day during the last few months of my pregnancies. He is amazing. I'm shocked that anyone would feel differently!
His staff gossips; no one likes that. Why no insurance? There must be a reason. It's a bit creepy. Our experience was not good; it wasn't horrible. He was late. He wasn't helpful with discussing some big problems we ran into nor did he seem knowledgeable. The hospital staff had to explain things to us.
Dr. Crane is the very best Doctor. His is knowledgeable, has the best technology and equipment and makes me feel like I am in the best hands. He delivered my second child 2 years ago and now helps me with general gyn stuff. I have been to other gyn.'s and no one else comes close.

New Push For Medicaid Expansion Has New Allies
Less than a year after lawmakers rejected Medicaid expansion in Nebraska, supporters are turning to a new group of allies: Low-income people who now realize that don't quality for coverage.
While signing up for health care on the federal website, many learned that although they're poor, they aren't poor enough to qualify for coverage. Now, they're coming forward and preparing to push for a revised measure along with advocacy groups and supportive state lawmakers.
The Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee will hear from people Wednesday who would have qualified for Medicaid under the expansion proposal.
The hearing sets up another expected debate in the Legislature between Democrats and some moderate Republicans who support Medicaid expansion, and conservatives who have aligned with Republican Gov. Dave Heineman to oppose expansion

METAL/NONMETAL MINE FATALITY - On May 22, 2008, a 46 year-old equipment operator with 15 weeks experience was fatally injured at a surface crushed stone operation. He had been dumping rock into a portable crusher using an excavator when the feeder portion of the crusher apparently clogged. The victim remotely shut off the feeder but left the crusher and discharge belt running. He climbed onto the feeder to check it and fell into the crusher.
Best Practices
SLAM Risks (Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage). Establish and discuss safe work procedures. Identify and control all hazards. Ensure the job is done safely. De-energize and lock out all components of portable crushers before performing work even if the task is brief. Guard or shield crushers to protect persons against flying or falling materials. Train all persons to recognize fall hazards.

Why I am avoiding the Nook Glow Light...

Device: Nook SimpleTouch w/ GlowLight
I've always been a bit rough with my electronics. My old SimpleTouch Nook fell off a ski lift into the snow around a rocky area and didn't work when I picked it back up (unsurprisingly). I bought a GlowLight to replace it.
So far my only complaints about the GlowLight were present when I bought it. The text doesn't seem as dark or sharp as it did on the regular one and there's more variation in darkness/width. One of the bezels seems to dip down a bit in the middle, but I saw that in other ones so I assumed it wasn't just mine..
But I haven't treated it with kid gloves and nothing worse has happened in the several months I've had it. Granted I do keep it in a Neoprene case most of the time, but it's taken at least one minor drop from the carseat to the floor of the car with no issues.
Maybe it's more fragile than other eReaders out there, but so long as it's sturdy enough to withstand everyday stuff given that the basics (like a case) are taken care of I think that's sufficient.
It meets those criteria in my opinion but I can't speak for everyone else.

This is not going to be easy for the Swedes.
Their rival in the world junior semi-finals Tuesday is Finland, and the Finns and Swedes have a storied tradition of trying to one-up each other. World championships, Olympics, pancake making, it doesn't matter. Finland versus Sweden is always a cold war.
Added to that, the Finns have a lot going for them these days. They not only beat Slovakia in the quarter-finals Monday at the Scotiabank Saddledome, they did it with a masterful performance from the flying Granlunds, Mikael and Markus. Not quite Sedin-like – but still pretty good – the brothers Granlund combined for three goals in the second period to help oust the Slovaks 8-5.
Older brother Mikael, the Finns' captain, started the family onslaught with a nasty wrist shot over the shoulder of Slovak goalie Juraj Simboch. Then it was Markus' turn to shine with a pair of goals that had Simboch cringing in his crease. By the time it was over, the Finns had outlasted a game but overmatched Slovakian team to set themselves up for another monumental showdown against Sweden.
"Every game against Sweden is a big game," insisted Teemu Pulkkinen, a member of the Granlund line that finished off Slovakia with eight points. "Hopefully, we can score some goals and play better defence. We can't make any mistakes … just focus on our game."
The Swedes finished atop their pool without suffering a loss. As their coach Roger Ronnberg has said, they're out to make amends for their stunning shootout loss to Russia last year in their semi-final. To accomplish that, the Swedes have opted for a different approach by starting slowly and finishing strong. It's allowed them to relax and deal with the pressure.
"I think that's the most important thing during a short tournament like this is that you can't get too serious. Just stay in the moment," Ronnberg said. "It doesn't matter how you play in the beginning. You have to do the best game last."
The Finns, who played in spurts, weren't overly impressed with how they defeated Slovakia. Mikael Granlund said the offence was clicking but that the defence was nowhere near good enough.
"We need to play better [Tuesday] My performance? It was okay. We're getting chances as a line," he said. "We won and that's all we needed."
The Finns were humbled 8-1 by Canada in their tournament opener and suffered an injury to goalie Sami Aittokallio. He was sidelined by a shot in the warm-up and Christopher Gibson played and took the one-sided beating from Canada.
Soon after, Aittokallio was given the starter's role and proved next to unbeatable. He beat the United States and shutout the Czechs with a 36-save effort capped by a familiar-looking celebration. With teammate Jani Hakanpaa, Aittokallio dropped to one knee and prayed à la Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. So far, no one has bothered to nickname the Finnish goalie's gesture Aittokallio-ing, and with good reason. It's too tough to say let alone spell.
"I'm happy to be in this game," Aittokallio said after allowing five goals to Slovakia. "I wasn't happy with my own play. It was good that way [to beat Slovakia]but I have to be better."
Asked their thoughts about facing Sweden in the semi-final, the Finnish players repeated the same word over and over – exciting. Pushed for more, the Finns admitted they had little knowledge of exactly how well the Swedes have played to this point.
"They're a good team with lots of great players," Mikael Granlund said.
"I know they jump in [the offensive play]" Aittokallio added. "It's going to be exciting and it's going to be lots better [Tuesday]"
Maybe the best so far for a Finnish team out to prove its worth against its long-time Scandinavian rival.
"We had a bad game against Russia [last year] This year, we had a bad game against Canada. But we move on," Pulkkinen said. "We know this game [with Sweden]is all that matters. It's going to be a nice game."
Russia 2, Czech Republic 1
Grigori Zheldakov scored at 1:30 of overtime to lead Russia to a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic in a quarterfinal at the world junior hockey championship Monday.
Zheldakov took a pass from Nikita Kucherov and sent a slap shot past Czech goalie Petr Mrazek to earn the Russians a berth in Tuesday night's semifinal against Canada.
Danil Apalkov scored in regulation for Russia, while goalie Andrei Vasilevski made 38 saves for the victory.
Jakub Culek scored in the first period for the Czech Republic, which will play Slovakia in the fifth-place game on Wednesday.
In the other quarterfinal, Finland defeated Slovakia 8-5 and will face Sweden in the other semifinal.
In relegation-round action, Switzerland edged Denmark 4-3 in overtime.
Mrazek stopped 43 of 45 shots he faced in the Czech net and received a standing ovation from the crowd of 16,581.
After starting the tournament with three straight wins — 3-0 over Switzerland, 3-1 over Slovakia and 14-0 over Latvia — Russia gave up a three-goal lead and lost 4-3 in overtime to Sweden on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic started off with a 7-0 win over Denmark before losing 5-0 to Canada. The Czechs then stunned the United States with a 5-2 win before a 4-0 loss to Finland in its final preliminary-round game.
The Russians outshot the Czechs 16-5 in the first period, but couldn't find a way to beat Mrazek.

Thirty Democrats could settle their party's grueling presidential nomination contest in a Washington, D.C., hotel room this Saturday, according to this report from the Hill, a Washington newspaper.
Among the elite few who will be in the room: Former Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates.
Although she resigned from the commission last year amid a police investigation into her campaign spending -- one that has resulted in no charges -- she remains a player on the Democratic National Committee.
As a member of the committee's 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee, Atkinson Gates could help put to rest the agonizing race between Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama to secure their party's nomination.
The rules committee is to decide the fate of Florida and Michigan, states that bucked the DNC's rules and moved the dates of their primaries forward despite warnings from the national party that their delegates would not count.
The decision by Atkinson Gates and her 29 colleagues about how to factor in results from Florida and Michigan if at all could have a huge impact on the contest, as detailed in the Hill article.
Atkinson Gates has been mum about which candidate she supports and did not return a phone call today from the Sun.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It has been a roller-coaster ride for the S&P 500 during the last week, falling one day and gaining on the other. The index has lost 1.4% during the past week, followed by a 0.8% drop in Dow Jones and a 0.2% decline in India's Nifty Index. Among other emerging markets, Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.6% while Brazil's Bovespa inched up 0.2%.We list a few ADRs that have outperformed both the U.S. and domestic markets during this period. Synutra International ( SYUT) gained 18% during the last week. The company is a China-based producer, marketer and seller of nutritional products for infants, children and adults. As of March 31, 2010, the company's network is comprised of more than 540 independent distributors and more than 1,000 independent sub-distributors who sell its products in more than 71,000 retail outlets.

How to Read Hands
Opening Up Your Hands
By spreading your hands as if serving someone a treat off a tray, you are indicating that you are open to new ideas being offered. Facing your palms down or clenching your fists shows you have a strong position—one that may not be so flexible.
Flailing Your Arms
You're not out of control. Research shows that those who gesture when they speak seem energetic, agreeable, and warm, while those who gesticulate less are seen as logical and analytic. Keep in mind that moderation is key; overly animated gestures that border on frantic make you appear unbelievable and less powerful. If you fear you may be too animated, perhaps in a job interview, hold on to something when you talk.
Hiding Your Hands
Stashing your hands in your lap, stuffing them in your pockets, and holding them behind your back are movements of deceit—you're hiding something. "A person may be telling you one thing, but these cues indicate you're not getting the whole story," says Barbee.
Picking at Your Nails
Messing with cuticles is a sign of low confidence and timidity. Try steepling your fingers (hands folded together with index fingers extended) so you can't pick and you instead appear self-assured.


text: I'm an unabashed braces fiend. I have most of the Albert Thurston boxcloth and stripes, several of the Trafalgar collector's editions and some solids. I bought the Trafalgar braces at Nordstrom in Seattle. I stumbled across Turnbull and Asser in New York City last April and looked through several drawersfull, settling on three beautiful irridescent pair. I will be spending two days in Washington DC and four in New York City the end of this month. Can anyone recommend a place with a significant selection of braces in DC and NY? I am also hoping to buy a pair or two of Aldens. I have never tried a pair on, but hope to get a feel for the size/buy a pair, then perhaps bid on some with that are made with the same last when they are offered on E-bay. Where do those in the know in DC and New York go for reasonably priced Aldens?

This is Not My Time Machine
I love it! I just ordered this shirt, I can't wait for it to get here :D
Who are the two above?
Bill & Ted, I think!
This should be front/back, imo. Or at least somehow putting them at a distance from one another.
Prefered the t-shirt before the redesign but oh well
1st design was much better. no idea who the guys in grey r
I loved the original with Dr. Who, Marty McFly, and the dude from "The Time Machine," why was this changed? Dx
Missing out on McFly.
Woo Hoo!
Hah, Bill and Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Might just have to get this. :D
I like both designs very much, but the current one is cleaner, if slightly less funny. Even better would be to add Bill and Ted to the first design! :D
I like it and ANY mixing of time travel themes. Especially since I'm currently catching up with the Dr. Who craze.
simple but nice composition on color :D
AAAAAAAA!!!! LOVE it!
I am so disappointed! Would have loved Dr Who's mixed with Marty McFly's time machines. I feel like less folks know Bill and Ted. =o(
i think this works better than the original -- i prefer the similar shapes of the police box to phone booth, and i didn't like the red on navy
This is an awesome shirt!!! Two of my favorite things. Dr. Who and threadless. :)
"San Dimas High School Football Rules!"
Nicely done! :D
Wow, quite different from the original sub. Congrats, nonetheless!
This is the most amazing shirt I have seen in possibly ever.
Birthday shirt for my birthday, yes.
Approval, very much so, yus :D
This is the most amazing shirt I have seen in possibly ever.
This is the best shirt ever!
Boo. I wish it had people from Back to the Future. Alot more people know them.
Ok. This comment is for kfraggle and others who want Dr. Who and Back to the Future. Probably not a good idea to advertise another t-shirt website on a t-shirt website but... My husband found this a while ago and I really like it and want to share: http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=8901 Hope this helps.
I liked the original one better! I must confess... I don't even know what that other thing (not Doctor Who) is about. :P
Thats Bill and Ted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the T!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Love the Doctor and Bill and Ted so much :)
love doctor who
thats the 10th doctor though...what about 11th??
Absolutely love this design over the original one. Not enough Bill & Ted references floating about, so this is great.
I love it! I didn't get it at first, but now I do - Bill & Ted were awesome. But I can't really picture the doctor just standing there while his TARDIS has been replaced - he would throw a fit.
That's adorable! I would wear this!
got this!! :D
like it but i really wish it was BTTF and DW. greatest mashup ever.
So awesome! Nice color choice and layout. Anyone who has seen either will get the references. Though I do wish it were the TARDIS and the DeLorean, but Bill & Ted's phone box fits better on the shirt.
For anyone not familiar with the non-Doctor Who reference, here's the link to the IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096928/
Fantastic! I'm a huge Doctor fan! And this may sound pretentious but where did you take this picture? I was in London a bit ago and the background looks incredibly familiar? It may not be london at all but I felt compelled to ask :)
This made me lol. Shame I'm not a huge DW fan.
I'm the strange woman with the Tardis Door (google tardis door glasgow) that went viral on boxing day (December 26th). Originally it was just the police box, but maybe I ought to branch out and find some appropriate days (April 1st springs to mind) to create a facade faux pas and temporarily horrify the neighbours. Great shirt!
This is awesome :) love it! :D
Reprint please!
i would be happy with just bill n ted and the tardis, more subtle :)
Reprint please

And on the conservative side... if the 3x10^-8 SNPs per site per generation
approximation holds (implying 0.78 SNPs per generation across the ~
26,000,000 base-pair coverage of the sequence-able Y-chromosome), and if
the average generational interval was typically 25 years, then your
projected 5,236 SNPs represents only ~102,000 years. And then it's
entirely possible that not all of these SNPs are strictly below A0: some
may actually exist in other haplogroups thanks to the Frankenstein-ish
assembly of the HUGO reference sequence (which is dominantly a composite of
R1b, but has bits and pieces from other haplogroups as well).

When Adam Scott arrived at East Lake Golf Club for round three he was expecting to withdraw from the Tour Championship with acute stomach flu until a boost of fluids from an IV drip rescued his tournament.
But the Masters champion could be forgiven if he wished he hadn't stuck a peg in the ground after all as it proved to be nothing but a bandaid solution.
Scott crashed to a four-over 74 to be seemingly well out of contention, some nine shots off the lead.
The illness could not have come at a worse time, potentially costing the 33 year-old $US11.4 million ($A12.14 million), the amount he would have banked had he gone on to win at East Lake Golf Club as the event winner and season long FedEx Cup champion.
The monumental payday now seems destined to go to Swede Henrik Stenson who maintained his four shot advantage with a one-under 69 moving him to 11-under.
Stenson led by as many as nine but stumbled with four back nine bogeys as heavy rain made play difficult. American Dustin Johnson fired a 67 to move into second place at seven-under while countryman Steve Stricker (68) sits third at five-under.
Scott, who started the day in second place just four adrift, arrived at the course on the back of little sleep following a night of frequent toilet trips, fever and chills.
"It was a nightmare," he said.
"I couldn't sleep and I woke at 3am feeling terrible and I was freezing. "I tried to have a warm bath and then I tried to sleep in my tracksuit but it didn't get much better."
After getting treatment from doctors at the course Scott decided to play on and try to ride out the illness to stay in the mix for the two trophies and a shot at Player of the Year.
But it was obvious he was in a bad way and he dropped five shots in his opening eight holes.
"It was very disappointing to wake up feeling like that. Without the doc's help, I definitely wouldn't have been going. I was really flat and not in a good way," Scott said.
The Australian garnered some sympathy from the leader, his playing partner in the final group.
"I feel for Adam You could clearly see that he was not in a good state physically today," Stenson said.
Scott tried to find some hope despite being so far behind heading to the final round.
"A six under round might just go a long way tomorrow so hopefully I can get some rest and feel better tomorrow and then who knows, miracles do happen," he said.
Jason Day carded a two-under 68 to move to even par for the week in a tie for 18th and was also sympathetic of Scott's predicament given he had also started the tournament under the weather with a sinus infection.
World No.1 Tiger Woods (69) continued to sit near the back of the pack in a tie for 26th at three-over.

Roger Federer has shown that he's still got it, producing two outrageous shots at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle overnight.
The 33 year old Swiss legend hit vintage form during the tight tussle, as he was pushed all the way by Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, eventually prevailing 7-6, 6-3-7-6 in a gruelling match lasting over two hours.
The highlight of the match was easily two moments of pure class from Federer, one a ridiculous behind the back lob while the other was a gritty forehand he managed to play while sitting down after slipping over during his service action.
The lob was notably special as he appeared to outrun the ball before thrusting his racquet behind his back and lobbing Kohlschreiber, resulting in him winning the point.
The top seed at the tournament, Federer has won seven titles at Halle and will be vying for his eighth Wimbledon title later this month.
The shots typified a player who is still very much at home on the grass and although ageing, will pose a threat for anyone who is unfortunate to draw him in the main pot at Wimbledon.

Levitating Dumpster Illusion
This Optical Illusion is mega super extra pro version – ultimate magic trick, I tell you! There was no digital modification done with this image, I can guarantee you that. Yet, it is unbeleivable and not understandable to my humble mind. This public installment was also done by creative artist called "Blue Sky", and you can find more about this installment on his homepage. Previously I've posted his wonderfull mural called "Tunnelvision", so be sure to check it out! "Levitating Dumpster" debuted at the Columbia Music Festival Association's fundraising 'Street Bash' and no one suspected it was art installment. Attendants believed it was an actual dumpster and were unable to figure out what supported it. Autor and his wife are tight-lipped about the secret behind this magic act. Can you solve this enigma? Can't wait to hear your thoughts. My mind is blank regarding this one… maybe mirror reflecting dumpster on it's upper side, while bottom of the mirror is transparent so you can see the house and the fence?

Im wondering on all these big wins...what is the procedure people go thru to cash their tickets in? Here in NC we have to go to the lottery headquarters for anything $600 and over....Now we have about 5 lottery headquarter locations across the state but if you hit the big one I think you have to go to the main one in Raleigh....But all of you in other states can you cash in a ticket.... scatch-off or otherwise.... anywhere other than you lottery headquarters??
I believe $600.00 is the limit in Oklahoma as well. Now Oklahoma has dozens of locations(Authorized Lottery Claim Centers) where you can go to claim a prize exceeding $600.00 to $5,000 but anything over $5,001 has to be claim at Lottery Headquarters.
I Love Pink & Green 1908
It's $600 here in New Hampshire as well. Being a very small state geographically we have only one lottery headquarters in the state capital which is at max a 2 1/2 hour drive away even from the most remote northern locations.
All states have lottery websites that explain the procedures for cashing winning tickets. Here in Ohio we can cash any winning ticket up to $600 at any lottery retailer. Winning tickets will a value of $600 to $5,000 can be cashed at a state approved bank usually within 20 miles after being verified by a local retailer and those above $5,000 has to be taken to a regional lottery office which is usually within 80 miles.
* you don't need to buy more tickets, just buy a winning ticket *
Although NH is a small state, it can take up to 2.5 days to reach the Concord lottery headquarters by cow.
Cows are the preferred means of transportation for most granite stater's, who are concerned with the local ecology.
The scenic views are well worth the trip however!
Idaho's a pretty big state, and as far as I can see, we only have on lottery office here in Boise. The people in Eastern or Northern Idaho have to claim by mail, or make the trek to Boise.
Haha so true especially if you were riding a cow down from Dixville Notch to Concord.
Really?? Wow that's interesting....being able to cash a ticket in at a bank...that's kinda convienent
the bank thing is cool but it gives me pause if they follow the same procedures to verify that you are indeed the proper winner of the ticket. There so so much lottery fraud.
That really sounds convenient with the banks in Ohio.
These are the rules in Illinois:
For prizes up to $600
Most local lottery retailers will cash winning tickets that are less than $600. Their ability to cash winning tickets is subject to fund availability and the individual retailer's preference. You can also cash lower denomination winning lottery tickets (less than $600) at any of the Prize Claim Centers around the state. If you can't make it to a Prize Claim Center, you can also mail your winning ticket to an Illinois Lottery Claims Department in Springfield, IL. The address is:
Prizes over $600 but less than $1 million
Fill out a claim form available at any Illinois Lottery retailer and mail it in. You'll receive your check in 4-6 weeks (less any taxes).
You can mail your winning ticket to Springfield, IL. The address is:
You can also visit Prize Claim Centers to immediately receive winnings up to $25,000 (less any taxes).
When you visit a prize center for any prize over $600, you'll need a photo ID and some means of verifying your Social Security Number.
For prizes over $25,000, these centers can mail your claim form to the Illinois Lottery Claims Department in Springfield, IL, for you. Prizes of $1 million or more
Call the Illinois Lottery Claims Department at 217-524-5147 immediately! Then call your mom, your friends, and your entire address book.
Prize Claim Center Locations
Reminder! When you visit a Prize Center to file a claim for any prize amount over $600, you need to bring a photo ID, AND some means of verifying your Social Security Number.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.
Just moved from Hooksett, NH. Loved the NH scratch-offs.
"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night." Steve Martin
Here it is for the Florida lottery-
"Prizes of less than $600 can be claimed at any Florida retailer.
Prizes up to $250,000 can be claimed at any Florida Lottery
district office. Prizes greater than $250,000 must be claimed at Lottery
headquarters in Tallahassee."
Im just down the street from my lottery headquarters. Makes cashing big winners easy.
Ronnie: Maybe you can just waive your winning jp ticket to them from your balcony.
Did you hear about big fire in the townhouse in DC? It was owned by a Democrat, Socialist, and a Republican. Only the Republican survived the fire! Why? Because she was AT WORK.
Ohio did a nice job to expedite their original process.
The first time I hit the pick-4, the clerk where I bought the ticket didn't know if they had a claims form or how to fill it out after they found it. When it was finally filled out and I found the nearest cashing bank (25 miles away), it needed notarized so I stopped at an Auto Dealership on the way to the bank and waited 20 minutes while the Notary was in the bathroom. The Bank Teller asked if I had an account at their bank and because I didn't, decided I had to pay the $10 processing fee up front as if there was a difference between me paying her or her paying me $10 less. It took me over 3 hours from start to finish.
The Ohio Lottery finally gave easy to follow instructions to their retailers, changed to a bank with more locations, and had them notarize the claim form so the next time it took less than 45 minutes. It was a little more complicated with multiple winning tickets, but I made a phone call to lottery headquarters and they gave me a number the retailer or the bank could call if they had any questions.
Kentucky has Cashing Agents in every county eliminating going to a retailer and pay by cash or by check on the spot.

WHITEHORSE – Education Minister Patrick Rouble today announced $162,955 in funding for a new education initiative to be delivered in partnership with Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Yukon College.
The Education and Employment Training (EET) program is geared to improve the First Nation's workforce engagement and it is the first project to be funded under the Government of Yukon's new Labour Market Agreement (LMA) with the Government of Canada.
"The EET program supports the Government of Yukon's commitment to work with our partners to enhance transitions between different levels of education, training and the world of work," Minister Rouble said. "We can help Kwanlin Dün citizens engage successfully in the workforce by creating responsive education opportunities that meet their needs."
"It is clear that the jobs of tomorrow will require additional skills and training," Human Resources and Skills Development Canada Minister Diane Finley said. "That is why we are pleased to work with the Yukon government to support programs that will help Yukoners come out of this economic downturn better prepared for the jobs of the future."
The EET program will provide a new level of educational support for Kwanlin Dün citizens by addressing the academic, employment and life skill needs of adult learners. The EET program will offer support for the future growth and development of community-based adult education initiatives for Kwanlin Dün citizens. Kwanlin Dün and Yukon College anticipate the first EET program students will begin their studies this fall.
The EET program also provides Kwanlin Dün citizens with access to supportive expertise in the development of a comprehensive, long-term, community-based education plan. This plan will be a blueprint for developing and implementing future adult education initiatives and increasing workforce integration for Kwanlin Dün citizens in the future.
"This is a meaningful initiative that will have long term impacts for the citizens of Kwanlin Dün First Nation," Kwanlin Dün Human Resources, Education and Social Assistance director Art Stephenson said. "The program will target critical education and training needs, while taking steps toward planning for better adult education opportunities in the future."
"We are very excited to be a part of the EET program and we look forward to engaging in this work with our partners," Yukon College's dean of Applied Science and Management Shelagh Rowles said.

Backgrounder – Labour Market Agreements
The Government of Yukon recently signed two labour market agreements with the federal government that will provide resources to support new and enhanced labour market development initiatives.
Yukon's new Labour Market Agreement (LMA) will help those unemployed people who are not eligible for employment insurance (EI) benefits or who are low-skilled and in need of skill enhancements. The LMA will work in cooperation with the territory's new Labour Market Development Agreement (LMDA), which targets individuals who receive EI.
Under a new LMDA, Yukon will now be responsible for the design and delivery of skills and employment training programs for EI-eligible residents. Similar agreements are already in place in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Programs and services supported by the LMA and the LMDA will ensure that the workforce readiness training needs of all Yukoners are met. The new labour market agreements will work to increase participation in the labour force by providing Yukoners with the skills they need to succeed in the world of work. The agreements will also support Yukon's economy by ensuring there is an adequate supply of skilled workers.
Yukon will receive $5.9 million over five years under the LMA. In addition, Yukon will receive $2.9 million over the next two years through the federal Strategic Training and Transition Fund, which is delivered through the LMA.

These simple structures that dot the countryside are becoming victims of decay, suburban sprawl, changes in farming practices and a growing trend to use old barn wood in new "rustic" buildings.
"We call them an endangered species," says Jennifer Goodman, executive director of the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance. "Barns are disappearing so rapidly, I often find myself saying, 'Ouch. Lost another one' when I drive down rural roads."
Nobody knows how many old barns exist. The Midwest once had 10,000 barns painted with Mail Pouch Tobacco advertisements — a free paint job in exchange for ad space. A few hundred remain.
One-fourth of the barns listed in the 1997 Field Guide to New England Barns and Farm Buildings are now gone. Thomas Visser, the book's author, says his home state of Vermont loses about 1,000 of its 30,000 barns a year to fire, collapse and the bulldozer. The few hundred barns that survive from the 1700s are most vulnerable. "Many have been coasting for a century with very little maintenance," he says.
Steve Stier, who restores barns in Michigan and wrote a manual for identifying barn styles, says, "When an old barn falls, we lose more than a building. We lose a sense of place."
The accelerating demise of the American barn has prompted efforts to save some of the old structures. Michigan and New Hampshire have begun surveying the barns in their states.
Last year, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put a barn for the first time on its list of most endangered places — the 1850s Miller-Purdue barn near Marion, Ind. The giant barn, once part of Purdue University's agriculture program, has three gables and five cupolas. But its ceilings are too low to accommodate modern farm equipment.
"We're not going to let it fall, even though its useful days have passed it by," says farmer Wayne Townsend, who now owns the building. He says the vacant barn will eventually undergo the $35,000 to $65,000 of work it needs.
"This is the dilemma farmers have," Townsend says. "We have to look at the bottom line. Good management dictates that it should come down. But if we don't preserve things like this, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be the lesser for it."
Part of this renewed interest in barns stems from the rustic look featured in the designs of Martha Stewart and Ralph Lauren, PBS' This Old House and the upscale catalogs of Plow and Hearth, Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware.
But this popularity might be speeding the demise of traditional barns as they're dismantled for their timber. The big prize: wood that is strong and straight with a tight grain that cannot be replicated today. This wood came from trees that grew for centuries before being harvested in the 18th and 19th centuries.
A hand-hewn barn beam measuring 10 inches by 10 inches adds authenticity to expensive houses being built from Idaho to Vermont. Other barn wood is milled into flooring or paneling that costs two to five times more than new wood.
The demand for old-growth wood is so great that salvage dealers are knocking on doors and taking out newspaper ads offering to tear down obsolete barns. The most valuable barns for timber are at least 100 years old — the same barns that preservationists would like to save.
John Killebrew, owner of Barnbusters of Waverly, Ill., has taken down about 200 barns in his career. "When I got in the business 20 years ago, there were thousands of barns around for me to choose from," he says. "There's nothing left. I have to go to Pennsylvania to find anything."
When he started, farmers let him tear down their barns for free. Some even paid to have them removed. Now, there are sometimes bidding wars for the right to demolish an old barn. Old barns have become so scarce that Killebrew has switched businesses to selling antique hardware on eBay. "People pay top dollar for this stuff," he says.
"The greater the market for old barn parts, the more endangered old barns are," Vermont author Visser says. "The sad irony is that people who buy these antiques are the same ones who love old barns. They don't realize they are contributing to the demise of what they love."
Many people in the barn salvage business also are active in saving old barns. They only take down barns that are beyond repair or scheduled for demolition. The best antique barns are often removed whole and shipped elsewhere to give life to an old building.
"I used to feel defensive about carting away my state's history," says Ken Epworth, owner of The Barn People in Windsor, Vt. "Not anymore. It's better than a barn rotting on a dirt road in New England."
Epworth recently finished rebuilding a barn in Oakville, Calif., in the heart of Napa Valley, that had stood in Meriden, N.H., since 1770. It took five weeks to load the barn on four flatbed trucks. It took four weeks to rebuild it. The barn is being remodeled into a visitors' center for Nickel and Nickel winery.
"People in Vermont take barns for granted. They shrug their shoulders at 200-year-old barns," he says. "In California, people pull over in their cars and say, 'Cool.' "
A large barn has been a landmark in the Penacook section of Concord, N.H., since Henry Rolfe, the first white settler, built it in the 1700s. The barn remained in the family until eight years ago. Then the new owner sold it because it blocked the view from his ranch house and was costly to maintain. "I had no idea people loved the barn so much until I sold it," says John Zobel, an administrator at a local church. "If I'd known it was so old and unique, I would have tried to keep it in the area."
Local officials want the current owner to swap the barn for another one less noteworthy, but negotiations have gone nowhere. The city doesn't know the current owner of the barn, other than he reportedly wants to ship the structure west for use as an art gallery.
"I've already resold it to a subcontractor looking for a museum-quality barn. He sold to someone else," says Robert Bettcher of Newbury, Mass., who bought it from Zobel. Bettcher doubts the town can keep its barn. "It's almost impossible to find a barn that good. ... Look, things change. I used to be a fisherman."
Old barns are expensive — often costing buyers $300,000 to $500,000 to be shipped and reassembled, Epworth says. That doesn't include the cost of converting it into living space.
"Millionaires are the only ones who can afford this stuff," says Terry Lowder, who's dismantling an 1888 Gothic church in Henry, Ill. He has shipped barns and their parts around the world, from New York to Australia, to movie stars and Internet millionaires.
"I feel bad when I see a farmer shove a big oak tree into a barn and burn it," Lowder says. "These old barns are valuable to me. But to the modern farmer, they're an eyesore, a hazard and a tax liability."
Their recent popularity, though, didn't start the disappearance of old barns. The construction of more than a million houses per year for the past decade has swept away farmland and barns even in areas that are still largely rural.
"Farmers are in a tough spot," says Barbara Pahl, head of the Denver office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Land is where their wealth is. When someone offers $6,000 an acre, what are they supposed to do?"
Gary Garczynski, president of the National Association of Home Builders, says growth restrictions in suburbs have forced development in rural areas farther out from cities. "People are trading dollars for distance. By moving farther out, they can get more house for the money," he says.
Even on working farms, old barns are often obsolete because of changes in technology. Dairy barns no longer have wooden floors with basements to catch a cow's waste. They have cement floors that are hosed clean. Or take the example of hog farms. The nation had a million hog farms in 1967. Today, there are about 85,000. A barn isn't needed on a farm that gave up on pigs or on a mega-farm that has 50,000 or more hogs.
"You can't convince farmers to add a new roof and paint a barn just to make it look cute," Pahl says. "The barn has to have a use."
The key is the roof. The collapsed barns that dot the countryside often were ruined by leaky roofs and water damage. A new roof on a 100-foot-long, 19th-century dairy barn can cost $30,000 — more if structural work is needed.
Ellen Prindle of Warren, Conn., recounts how she wanted to save a barn on her property that had been featured in the paintings of Eric Sloane, a landscape artist and author of several books on barns.
"The contractor said it would cost $50,000 before the first cup of coffee," Prindle says.
She built a new barn, instead. It was cheaper. "I couldn't do service to the old lady, to my regret," Prindle says. The barn was sold and disassembled but has not been rebuilt.
Those who do restore an old barn often have to pay higher property taxes because of the improvement. Some landowners get rid of the structures by letting volunteer fire departments burn the barns for training. Others give away barns to salvage dealers who want the antique wood and hardware.
Some just bulldoze them.
"We've had people tear down perfectly good barns for tax reasons. It was heartbreaking," says Elizabeth Muzzey, who is coordinating a survey of New Hampshire barns for the state.
Earlier this year, the New Hampshire Legislature approved a break on property taxes for people who preserve barns. The law, the first of its kind, takes effect in 2003.
In trying to figure out how many barns exist, the National Trust uses the number of farms as an indicator.
The United States had 6.5 million farms at the peak in 1920. There were 2.2 million farms in 2000. Including barns that survive on defunct farms, there are roughly 3 million barns across the nation.
But that number is deceptive. Barns constructed after World War II are usually built with lightweight poles and metal siding. The design is inexpensive and functional.
Barns haven't attracted the preservation fervor of old bridges, schools and lighthouses. Those were public structures, belonging to the community. Barns are privately owned. As a result, the designs vary. Early barns were rectangular boxes based on the English barns. They were often painted red because oxide-pigmented paint was the cheapest in the 19th century. Farmhouses got fancier white paint.
There are stone barns, too. And round barns from 19th-century utopian movements. And barns built on slopes — grain went in the top; livestock entered below on the other side.
The common barn, perhaps, has been taken for granted.
"I don't want barns to become something children only see in a book," Pahl says. "The race is on to see if we can save the American barn or if it will be erased from the landscape."

Who are the characters in the story "The Cold Equations," and what are their problems?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
"The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin is a futuristic story set in space. The story features only two main characters--Barton the pilot and a young girl named Marilyn who is a stowaway on Barton's EDS (emergency dispatch ship). While the story references Marilyn's brother and parents and a group of humans stranded on a far-away planet, Marilyn and Barton are the only characters actually in the scenes of the story.
Barton is on his way to deliver life-saving medicine to some men, and he has only enough fuel to get to the men's location with a very specific weight on board his ship. Because Marilyn has chosen to stowaway on board the EDS (an action which she knows is prohibited), she places Barton in a very difficult position. He either has to "dump" her into space so that he can make it to the ill men, or he and she will both die in space presumably along with the men waiting for the medicine. Godwin sets up a "lifeboat" situation and causes readers to think about the idea of sacrificing one for the good of the whole. Marilyn, while wanting to live, comes to realize the gravity of the situation she has put herself and Barton in, and eventually goes to her death.

Have you ever had that moment when you think you have a great idea but when you present it no one seems to think it was a great idea? Take Twitter, think about when someone said I want to create a FREE service where everyone can signup and receive SMS text messages from their friends at NO COST. Offer that up 10 years ago and people would say you were crazy, offer it up today and you would be genius. There are many examples of this and you see in Web Development and Web Design. People aren't always open to hearing the latest cutting edge idea. It might sound a little Crazy at the moment but just give a few years and it might not be as crazy idea as you think.
"If a tree falls in the middle of the forest does it make a sound? My answer is NO:)."
You wouldn't pitch someone on a commercial when there is no TV? Or offer up web development without the internet? The point is to wait for technology to mature always keeping your eye out for the cutting edge ideas but don't be discouraged when your idea doesn't stick. People are probably not ready to listen, don't force the idea just continue to cultivate it and eventually someone else might bring it to the table and that's when you will be well prepared to offer up a solution.
One can change the direction of the wind so why fight it! Continue to develop your idea and present it again once the audience is ready to LISTEN.

Washington (UPI) Jul 15, 2013
At a panel discussion on the search for alien life, held this week at NASA's headquarters in Washington, the agency's top scientists said they're getting close.
NASA scientists were joined by leading figures in the fields of astronomy, physics and planetary sciences.
"We believe we're very, very close in terms of technology and science to actually finding the other Earth and our chance to find signs of life on another world," Sara Seager, a physicist at MIT and recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, told a packed audience on Monday.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said finding alien life was all but inevitable.
"Do we believe there is life beyond Earth?" he asked. "I would venture to say that most of my colleagues here today say it is improbable that in the limitless vastness of the universe we humans stand alone."
Since 2009, NASA's search for an Earth-like exoplanet capable of hosting living organisms has been bolstered by the Kepler Space Telescope. Kepler has discovered thousands of exoplanets, but not definitive signs of alien life. That effort will be strengthened by NASA's super powerful next-generation James Webb Space Telescope -- scheduled to launch in 2018.
"Finding Earth's twin, that's kind of the holy grail," said John Grunsfeld, a former astronaut who did repair work on Hubble Space Telescope in 2009 and now serves as associate administrator of the agency's Science Mission Directorate.

Tony Romo's 2013 season ended a week early when he underwent surgery for a back injury and at least one person with very specific knowledge of back injuries is concerned for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
Troy Aikman, who had back surgery early in his career with the Cowboys and had problems before his retirement, said he "would be a bit concerned" about the prospects for Romo.
"I came back in a relatively short period of time because of when I had my surgery, so he's at least afforded more time to get ready," Aikman said at a United Way event Wednesday at AT&T Stadium (via Cowboys.com). "But having said that, two back surgeries in less than a year at his age, I would be a bit concerned.
"I'm hopeful that he's able to come back – everybody is. This team won't be the same if he's not able to. I anticipate that he will come back. But to say that, 'Hey, he's ahead of schedule and everything's going fine,' I'm not sure how you can really measure that here in April."
Aikman was 26 when he had back surgery; Romo has now had two back operations within the last year and will turn 34 on April 21. Aikman retired when he was 34.

Senate Republicans Opposing Broadly-Supported Reforms to Marijuana Possession Law with Ludicrous Claims, Sabotaging Efforts by Governor Cuomo, Mayor Bloomberg, Commissioner Kelly, District Attorneys, Community Groups to Bring Fairness and Clarity to Law
Reform Coalition Releases Two More Videos Highlighting Impact of Racially Biased, Costly, Unlawful Marijuana Arrests in NYC
Yesterday, New York Republican Senate Majority Leader announced his opposition to Governor Cuomo's proposal to standardize penalties for marijuana possession offenses in New York. The Senate Majority Leader, Dean Skelos, told the New York Times that "Being able to just walk around with 10 joints in each ear, and it only be a violation, I think that's wrong."
"The cartoonish response by Senator Skelos would perhaps be more humorous if the impact of the current marijuana possession policies were not so grim and racially disparate," said gabriel sayegh, New York State Director for the Drug Policy Alliance.
On Monday, New York Governor Cuomo, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, and all five New York City District Attorneys came out in support of ending the practice of arresting individuals for possessing small amounts of marijuana in public view. Today, Assembymember Hakeem Jeffries introduced Governor Cuomo's reform legislation -- A. 10581 would standardize the penalty for marijuana possession offenses in order to create equitable police practices for marijuana possession and reduce racial disproportionality in these arrests. These marijuana arrest practices by police, the Governor and advocates believe, needlessly criminalizes young people – especially young people of color – and harms the relationship between law enforcement and the community.
"The Senate is blocking sensible reforms to the marijuana possession law with ludicrous claims," said sayegh. "It's time for the Senate to work with the governor, mayor and law enforcement from around the state to fix this long standing travesty."
Below are two new videos released to highlight the racial disparate and unlawful marijuana possession arrest practices in New York.
- Council Member Melissa Mark-Viverito (East Harlem/Bronx) is the sponsor of NYC Council Resolution 986 that supports bi-partisan legislation in Albany, NY to put an end to tens of thousands of illegal, racially biased, and costly marijuana arrests in New York. http://youtu.be/_rtmE_Pm5TU
- James was stopped-and-frisked when entering his mother's apartment building. One of the officers reached into James' pocket without his consent and recovered marijuana. James refused to plead guilty for a crime he did not commit. He was remanded and held on Riker's Island for one week because he knew that personal possession of marijuana not in public view is not a criminal offense and refused to plead guilty. http://youtu.be/kf7dTfCfa5s
