Crane, Rob
2008
\"The design was plan B,\" [Rob Crane] says. \"I was quite surprised when it won. Maybe it just resonated with people; it's quite a nostalgic image.\" Joe Pilbeam, who designed the cover for The Nextmen's \"Let It Roll\" 12in, at No 3 in the poll, agrees. \"If anything, downloads have spurred people on,\" he says. \"It pushes me harder to create nice artwork.\" At No 4 is the \"No Memory of Time\" 12in by Eva Be - one of a three covers for singles based on paintings by the singer's grandfather. \"Somewhere There's an Angel\", by the Maidstone-born, Vancouver-based one-man band Dan O'Connell, aka Thurston Revival, which comes in at No 5 in Art Vinyl's poll, is the most expensive single ever produced. Only 100 copies of the record were made and each was sold for 100, to make a point about the devaluing of music in the internet age.

FIGHT FOR TOBACCO MONEY GETS NASTY RESEARCHER DOUBTS VALUE OF ANTI- SMOKING EFFORTS
in
Crane, Rob
2000
The fight over money from Pennsylvania's chunk of the national tobacco settlement has led to an allegation that a researcher twisted the facts to try to get more money. In testimony before a state House committee in Pittsburgh last month, Dr. Ronald Herberman of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute said he doubted the effectiveness of anti-smoking ad campaigns and pushed for money for research. William Godshall, executive director of the SmokeFree Pennsylvania activist group, said the claim about the cancer risk is false. He called on Herberman to retract it or leave the \"scientific integrity\" of the cancer institute in question.

Cars like no others on the road
2011
\"The trend (of customizing cars) is so popular that there are companies - all they do is make fibreglass bodies, or all they do is make replacement parts,\" [Larry Way] said. \"There's a company that's just making steering wheels. It's a hot industry. We're going through a bit of a recession now, and the market's a little soft, but most of these companies are still surviving.\" \"Once the builder started to show me all of this stuff, I thought, 'Holy cow, this is unbelievable,'\" Way recalled. \"I just couldn't believe the engineering and all the things they did to it. And you wouldn't know it unless someone showed it to you because everything is hidden.\" Way and I proceeded to Hall Four, the zone of the young, the realm of \"Lambo doors,\" named after the doors of the Lamborghini, set on hinges that make them open like beetle wings. \"They do things differently,\" Way said of these younger customizers. \"The cars today have more electronics so they do a lot of that, modifying electronics. It's different from baby boomers, who are more involved in mechanical things. These guys here are more electronic and cosmetic.\"

Bill would target smoking age to help curb addiction | Hypertension risk for boys
2003
Backers of the bill say it's true that there are high schoolers and younger who legally are not allowed to buy cigarettes, but who do smoke. But the more critical period for a potentially addicted puffer starts at age 18, when most young people gain additional independence, can buy their own cigarettes, and have the opportunity to smoke all day long. In a place such as California, where public smoking and thus second-hand smoke is so restricted, is there harm in allowing 18- year-olds the option of making their own choices on smoking? Is there some element of protecting young adults from themselves in the bill? [Rob Crane], who founded the Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation, has put his organization's support behind the California campaign. He entered the fray upon seeing the California Medical Association resolve to push for the bill. Crane hopes to see it spread to a few other states that can then serve as an example that the legal minimum age of 21 can work to cut the rate of smoking in society.

CRANE RETURNS TO MADISON AS WMTV (CH. 15) NEWS DIRECTOR
2005
Out: Jim Dick. In: Rob Crane, from WSAU in Wausau. Crane began his news career in Madison as a sports intern at WMTV. \"I was instrumental in hiring him in Wausau as I oversee that station,\" says [Bob Smith] of Crane. \"Rob's been the news director there for a little over two years and he's done a terrific job and we're delighted to have him at WMTV.\" Crane started interning at WMTV in 1990 and moved to WISC (Ch. 3) four years later, before a year in Milwaukee and a move to his current post in Wausau in 2003.

SENATE PLANS TO TAP TOBACCO SETTLEMENT
2001
COLUMBUS - The Senate plans to include about $300 million from its share of the national tobacco settlement in its budget-balancing plan, compared with $240 million from the tobacco settlement in the plan approved by the House, Senate President Pro Tem Doug White said Thursday. Dr. Rob Crane, an anti-smoking advocate and member of the board set up to administer the cessation and prevention fund, said both the Senate and House plans rely too heavily on money from the national tobacco settlement. Crane, an assistant professor of family medicine at the Ohio State University, urged the Senate Finance Committee to take a different approach - raise Ohio's cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack, from 24 cents to 74 cents. That would raise $400 million annually, Crane told the committee.

By the time CHP Officer Brian Hawkins arrived, Crane had gotten belligerent and pushed the officer, Ziese said.

Sitting-room sleaze Just for the record, that was Britpop
2003
Casualties of Seventies \"liberation\", [Rob Crane] and [John Carpenter] (played here by Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe) serve the same purpose as earlier [PAUL Schrader] films, like Hardcore (flesh flicks) and American Gigolo (male prostitution): they exemplify the pervasively sensate US society and the corruption that sexual-commerce inflicts on individuals who binge on it. Schrader's films have an Old Testament ring, a Mosaic comeuppance. Temptation and sin are Auto Focus's, er, focus. At home, Crane is already into girly mags and nudie pinups. Enter Carpenter, who puts the action into the sex by demonstrating Sony's new camcorders and taking him to strip clubs for a trial recording. Soon, sex-play leads to video replay upon replay. Lacking work when Hogan's Heroes' run ends, Crane gets hooked on home-made porn by his slimeball friend. Each advance in video technology pushes the men to lower depths of prurient experiment. \"Sex isn't an answer,\" Crane is warned, and quips lubriciously: \"No, it's a question.\" A few weeks later, though, when taking him the dinner (in a Tupperware box, naturally) he is too busy at the office to come home for, [Cathy] finds her husband doing something men don't do - in another guy's arms. [Todd Haynes] plants the stigma of homosexuality in this perfect household-with finesse: just enough angst to upset the balance of domestic bliss, but also enough fidelity from Cathy to bear up. The analyst whom [Frank] consults, with Cathy understandably left in the anteroom, is a voice from the past when gay rights hadn't even a name, never mind a movement, and shock therapy was supposed to restore \"hormonal balance\". But the damage has been done.

DAY OF RECKONING
2012
The US Olympic Sailing Committee broke with tradition to select its team for the 2012 Games in Weymouth, England. Instead of a closed, domestic regatta for each discipline, the committee, led by Dean Brenner, chose two international events: the Skandia Sail for Gold in England in June and the ISAF Combined Worlds in Perth and Fremantle in December. The results of Sail for Gold left three Laser sailors Brad Funk, Clayton Johnson and Rob Crane in the hunt for the Olympic berth. Here, Streuli shares how the three sailors battled it out at the race in Fremantle, Australia.
