Make Doctor’s Licenses Like Driver’s Licenses? Medical Groups Say No
When it comes to licensing, the nursing profession works almost exactly the way it does with driving a car — at least in half the states.

My World Interrupted: It Is More Than a Loss of Place, It Is a Loss of Identity
"Over the past 35 years, we've lost 2,500 to 3,000 feet of land to coastal erosion. To put this in perspective: I was born in 1997, and since then, Shishmaref has lost about 100 feet. In the past 15 years, we had to move 13 houses — including my dear grandma Edna's house — from one end of the island to the other because of this loss of land. Within the next two decades, the whole island will erode away completely." more »
