Quantum Entanglement: Measuring Particles & Retaining Entanglement

When two photons' spins are entangled, measuring one spin gives you the spin of the other. My question is, after one of the particles is measured, does it still retain its entanglement? Could you keep measuring photon A's spin to get photon B's spin?

No. You get at most one measurement on each particle.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
