Compare the lowest ratesĀfor your 2019 and 2020 Ohio Health Insurance Exchange plans. Whether you are an individual, family, self employed, Senior, or uninsured, our expert guidance and experience allows you to view and learn about the most affordable on or off-Marketplace health insurance in Ohio. Easily review all plans in your area, and customize the copays, deductibles, and rate that fits your budget.
We also help you understand and calculate your free federal subsidy that can reduce your premium. Both subsidized Obamacare and non-ACA plans are available. Enrolling in a new plan takes only 15-20 minutes. By comparing copays, coinsurance, deductibles, and maximum out-of-pocket expenses, inexpensive and reasonably-priced plans can be reviewed.
You can also review Senior Medigap plans offered in the Buckeye State. Choose among Medicare Advantage, Supplement, and Part D prescription drug coverage offered by multiple companies. If you have reached age 65, you are probably eligible for benefits. Medigap plans can pay many common out-of-pocket expenses including costs of hospital stays, office visits, and prescriptions.
Your free Marketplace quotes are the best available prices allowed by each carrier, and there are no costs or obligations. We also discuss and review the impact that the Affordable Care Act and the Administration will have on your specific situation.
Instant online individual and family health insurance Marketplace and Senior quotes are provided by our broker/agency with more than 37 years of experience. Our freeĀservice is provided by live persons.ĀĀInexpensiveĀ plans are available, and we find them for you. We provide rates and information for all of the major companies, such as Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Medical Mutual, Humana, Molina, CareSource, Ambetter, Paramount, Cigna, Premier, Oscar, AultCare, and SummaCare.
HealthSpan, Assurant, Premier, and InHealth no longer underwrite policies for persons under age 65. Many carriers offer Medigap options, but do not offer Exchange plans (Aetna, Humana, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare).
By asking for a free quote at the top of the page, quickly, you'll be able to view, compare or apply for the most affordable high-quality private plans offered to consumers. These rates will be the most competitive prices in the state. You can easily compare different medical plans and apply online, by email, by fax or by mail. And once the policy is approved, we continue to provide our free service. We can assist you with billing, claims or administrative issues. And yes...we also provide dental quotes.

Open Enrollment in Ohio for the Health Insurance Exchange begins on November 1st for 2020 effective dates. However, SEP exceptions are available throughout the entire year. This Marketplace allows you to buy your private individual, family or small business healthcare without risking denial for underwriting reasons. Pre-existing conditions are covered, and no waiting periods or surcharges will be imposed. Exchange enrollment was higher than last year, despite recent Medicaid expansion.
The effective date of coverage for these policies depends upon when the application was submitted. However, if you apply after December 15th, it is possible your effective date will be later than January 1st. Although the .Gov website has experienced major delays and glitches, our website offers the same rates and we have had no software issues. We also provide a much easier enrollment process that will save you hours of time and frustration, since we handle the bulk of the work for you. Anthem Blue Cross has returned to the Buckeye State in selected counties.
NOTE: Open Enrollment for Seniors (Age 65 and older) always starts earlier. Medicare Supplement and Advantage plans (that replace original Medicare) are popular Medigap options that can reduce out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles and copays. Part D prescription drug coverage is also offered, although sometimes included in Advantage contracts. An additional enrollment period takes place when you reach age 65, regardless of the time of year. Many companies (UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Colonial Penn, Gerber, Medico, USAA, and Humana) offer Medigap plan to Seniors, but not private individual coverage if you are under age 65.
What Happens If I Miss The Deadline?
Even though Open Enrollment ends, there are still low-cost plans that will provide quality coverage. And actually, many of the top-rated companies (such as UnitedHealthcare) underwrite these plans. For example, short-term coverage can be kept up to 12 months, which provides valuable benefits until the next OE period at the end of the year. The application is short and takes less than 20 minutes to complete. If you need the policy quickly, your wait will likely be less than 24 hours. Additional products (critical illness, term life, dental, disability, and vision) can be purchased at any time.
Temporary plans have become extremely popular with consumers who do not want to participate in the Marketplace and prefer to purchase simple major medical coverage that provides "no frills" benefits. "Special" enrollment periods are offered if you qualify for several exclusions. These are discussed later in the article. However, if your policy does not comply with ACA guidelines, you will be assessed a penalty.
Other benefit-specific policies may be ideal for keeping premiums within your budget after the deadline passes. The range of coverage will vary. First-dollar plans, limited-benefit and more comprehensive policies can be easily compared and designed specifically to fit your needs. Simply ask us about them!
What If I Already Have Coverage?
The "Affordable Care Act" (ACA) law requires that you have "qualified" health insurance that meets specific requirements including the inclusion of "essential health benefits." However, if you currently own a plan that was issued on or before March 23, 2010, you can probably keep it (if you wish) and would not have to change. Your employer or existing company can verify its "grandfather" status.
You may also receive correspondence that you have to replace that plan. If you receive a letter or email indicating that the existing policy will terminate, please contact us immediately, so we can review your options, which may include extending the termination date of the contract. Each carrier has the discretion to either continue or terminate private plans. However, if you need to replace your current policy, we will review your best offers.
Even if preventive benefits (which are now mandatory) are not included and pre-existing conditions are not covered, it still may qualify as a grandfathered contract. If it is an individual policy, you willĀ have options that allow you to retain coverage. Typically, you receive a letter from your company notifying you of the status. In some situations, you can renew your previously-purchased policyĀ and avoid having to meet ACA requirements.

Low-cost Ohio health insurance plans are offered through the Marketplace. Medical Mutual, Ambetter, Oscar, Molina, SummaCare, and CareSource feature budget-friendly policies that are extremely affordable and inexpensive. Premiums for individuals, families, the self-employed, or the unemployed will be much cheaper than you realize after viewing some of the plans.
We help you apply and enroll for both on and off-Exchange Marketplace policies. This means you never have to answer medical questions, take a physical, or meet specific underwriting guidelines. Quality benefits are no longer impossible to obtain and the ACA subsidy could pay most or all of your premium payments.
The bestĀ health insurance often contains coverages found in more expensive policies. While catastrophic expenses are usually covered, additional benefits such as office visits, prescriptions, preventative exams and lab/X-ray costs are also sometimes included. Most preventive benefits are now covered at 100% with no waiting period.
Recent healthcare reform changes mandated the preventive benefits coverage along with a few other extra items including the elimination of lifetime caps on benefits paid. These extra benefits also apply to high-deductible policies and most other contracts.

Get the cheapest short-term medical coverage available in Ohio. If you are not working, are a recent high school or college graduate that is no longer covered under a parentÆs policy, unemployed, between jobs, a seasonal employee, currently uninsured, or just waiting for other coverage to begin, then a temporary policy might be your best option. We guaranteeĀthat the quotes you view on our website are the lowest available rates allowed by each carrier.
Also, if you are employed part-time or temporarily laid off, on strike, or on Cobra, you may need this type of plan. ST health insurance is extremely cheap and is available from UnitedHealthcare, National Greneral, and several smaller companies.
Edward Harris
Ohio individual and Medicare health insurance plans can be purchased online on our website. Many large companies offer a large selection of plans to meet the ever-changing needs of consumers. Regardless if you're an individual, family, student, self-employed, between jobs, an early retiree or uninsured, we'll find the right private health insuranceĀplan for you. We simplify the process of comparing Marketplace plans and enrolling online.
And unlike many other online sites, we're located in the state (Springboro) and are recognized asĀthe top website for affordable Ohio private medical insurance. The rates you view are the lowest prices offered by each carrier, whether on or off the Exchange.ĀIf you aren't offered group benefits by your employer, you will be able to easily choose a budget-friendly plan and obtain coverage.
In Ohio, UnitedHealthcare,ĀAnthemĀBlue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, Humana, Molina, and Medical MutualĀoffer the most competitive rates. Competitively-priced options are also available throughĀ Ambetter, SummaCare, Oscar,Ā and CareSource. Individual policies are no longer medically underwritten, so pre-existingĀ conditions do notĀ increase the rate.
RecentĀ reform changes will effect the rate you pay, now that federal subsidies are available to help pay the cost of a policy. We'll be happy to review those changes with you, and discuss what specific steps should be taken to maximize your savings.

The WP003 is a two-part exam given in the same format as the final examination for
freshman composition (WP002). During Part I, students are given 50 minutes to write

a persuasive essay of approximately two pages with a 70-minute time frame. In Part
II, students are given two to three pages of source material to refer to while writing.

Fayette superintendent launches transportation department review
Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent Tom Shelton says he's working on a wide-ranging plan to address continuing employee complaints and concerns in the district's transportation department.
"We are looking at everything, including the organizational structure within transportation," Shelton said. "Does it fit, is it working, is it part of the issue?"
Shelton said the plan would be part of a broad overview of policies and procedures across the district, but he gave no time line for completing it. He said he "couldn't elaborate" on personnel matters.
Shelton said he received an email from unnamed transportation department employees last month, raising personnel issues and complaining about the work environment in the department.
The anonymous message, which came soon after Shelton visited transportation department offices and talked with some workers there, used the email address of someone who does not work for the school system, according to the superintendent.
Shelton sent an email reply, telling the workers "you can be assured I am developing a plan to deal with these issues." He also said school board members "are aware" of the concerns.
Transportation employees have been making similar anonymous complaints about working conditions in the department for more than a year. Shelton said he began hearing them shortly after being named superintendent in June.
News of the latest, emailed complaints surfaced last week on Kentucky School News and Commentary, a Lexington-based education blog.
Late last year, Shelton planned to conduct an investigation into issues at the transportation department. But that plan was suspended on the advice of attorneys after Sherry King, a former Fayette County school bus driver, sued the school system alleging she had been sexually harassed. King also alleged that she was bullied and intimidated by transportation officials after filing a grievance.
The suit, which names transportation director John Kiser, other department officials and members of the school board, is pending in Fayette Circuit Court.
Shelton said this week that with the planned transportation department inquiry suspended, he intends to look at the department as part of a broad overview.
"It's (an) overview of the entire district, and specifically about transportation. Are we meeting our objective, which is to provide safe rides to and from school for our students," he said.
"We're looking at policies and procedures, particularly ones that deal with employee discipline. We are looking at committee structures, such as committees that could maybe help us develop or revise policies for incentives, discipline and safety procedures."
In their email, the anonymous employees cited some instances of transportation employees who, they alleged, do little or no work.
Shelton said he already was aware of those situations, "but, obviously, I couldn't elaborate."
"When you hear enough concerns and complaints, it justifies an investigation," Shelton said.
He said that while the pending lawsuit precluded the possibility of such an inquiry now, "that can't stop us from making sure we have an efficient and effective department with the best policies and procedures."

The producers of HBO's "Silicon Valley" decided to portray the tech industry in a positive light, both for the comedy's storyline and to lure an audience to the cable channel, according to reports.
"We couldn't completely kick over the idea of Silicon Valley," producer Alec Berg told the New York Times. "If we're trying to get people to invest in our guys, and what our guys want is to succeed in this business, we can't have the audience feeling that these guys are wrong to want that."
Executive producer and director Mike Judge, of "King of the Hill" and "Office Space" fame, also spent time in the 1980s working as an engineer in Silicon Valley.
"I think people in tech are funny, weird, awkward and interesting people, and you just don't see them portrayed as they are," Judge told the Times. "I thought I might be one of the few people in Hollywood who could get this crowd."

PALM BAY, FL - Palm Bay Hospital, part of the not-for-profit, Brevard-based Health First family of healthcare facilities and services, now offers patients a new, high-tech visualization system that can cut down on procedures, return trips to the hospital, and eliminate additional testing.
Until now, if a patient had a problem with the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas (among others), a physician would probably need to use a scope that was inserted in the patient's mouth and twisted and turned through the entire digestive system until the trouble spot was reached. That procedure can be uncomfortable and often does not provide enough information about a patient's problem, leading to additional tests, X-rays, and more.
Palm Bay Hospital now offers patients a less-invasive, more powerful alternative. The revolutionary "SpyGlass System," now available to any Palm Bay Hospital patient, involves inserting a tiny 6,000-pixel camera directly into the troublespot through a small catheter. This tiny camera is lit, can be steered in any direction. and is designed to allow doctors to access and inspect all four quadrants of the examination and treatment area. As a result, physicians are able to achieve improved diagnoses.
"When Palm Bay Hospital doubled its size last year, we renewed our promise to provide Palm Bay and our surrounding communities with the latest, cutting-edge medicine available," says Palm Bay Hospital President Judy Gizinski. "This new "SpyGlass" procedure offers our patients improved results, better recovery times, and reduces the possibility of additional tests. This is the latest step in fulfilling our promise to our patients and the community."
Notes: The "SpyGlass" procedure is also available at Holmes Regional Medical Center, which is also part of the not-for-profit Brevard-based Health First family.

He Turns Health Into Wealth
The success of Melanie's on Fulton Street has prompted Gould to open his second restaurant in Brooklyn, this time in Flatbush on 3322 Church Avenue.
It was just two years ago, that Michael Gould stood beside his daughter Melanie for the grand opening of his first restaurant in Brooklyn. Now, as demand for healthy eating grows, Gould is cashing in with the opening of a second restaurant.
The first restaurant, Melanie's, named after his daughter, stood out among the rows of fast food chains and neighborhood delis along Fulton Street in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. With money made from wise real estate investments, Gould purchased the building at 1285 Fulton Street in 1981.Â
As the surrounding area began to change for the best, people moving back in and the demand for services and eateries growing, so did the number of fast food chains and bodegas.Â
Gould noticed that the people moving back into the area were different from those who lived there 20 years earlier. "They wanted to eat and shop and had the money to do it,� he says. "They were also more health conscience, but often had to go outside the area to dine.� In 2005, with his own financing Gould opened Melanie's, a restaurant that offers a healthy menu with a Caribbean flair. To be sure, Roti and other native Caribbean dishes are found at most eateries along Fulton Street, yet Melanie's offers its patrons a unique eating experience that have kept the traffic growing at this restaurant since it opened its doors in 2005.
"My secret ingredient is consistency,� says Gould. "When people are given choices they can enjoy eating tasty foods prepared for a healthier lifestyle. I try to provide consistency in authentic Caribbean dishes and favors, consistency in great customer service, and consistency in a clean, safe, and exciting atmosphere where you can bring your family, business associates, and friends to eat right in the neighborhood. You take a risk opening any business, but my investment here is also an investment to the community.�
He says he employs from within the neighborhood. He is also proud to provide affordable living space—the building has four apartment units over the restaurant. "If more landlords took care of their buildings instead of renting out just the commercial space, Fulton Street could become just like any other booming business area in Manhattan where people spend time and money,â€? Gould observes. Â
The success of Melanie's on Fulton Street has prompted Gould to open his second restaurant in Brooklyn, this time in Flatbush on 3322 Church Avenue. Offering the same consistencies as the first Melanie's, Gould is hoping his new investment will benefit the community as well.Â
Caribbean music welcomes customers at Melanie's from morning to night. Health shakes and drinks are served daily; all breads and desserts are made on the premises. Gould takes pride in using state-of-the art kitchen equipment and cooking foods low in fat but high in taste. Many of the dishes are recipes from his native Trinidad. The restaurant has acquired a large following of faithful non-coffee drinkers who stop by each morning to get healthy fruit and vegetable drinks. Gould hopes to open a third Melanie's in Harlem in the near future.  Â
The Grand Opening of Melanie's at 3322 Church Avenue will take place on Thursday, April 26 at noon. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will join Michael and Melanie for the festive opening, as will President and CEO of the Caribbean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Roy Hastick.

The rule and probe keywords that are described in Rule Keywords and Values and Probe Keywords and Values might not be precise enough for your needs. You can define your own custom rule or probe keywords by creating a custom_probes file.
The custom_probes file is a Bourne shell script that contains two types of functions. You must save the custom_probes file in the same JumpStart directory where you saved the rules file. The two types of functions that you can define in a custom_probes file are as follows:
Probe – Gathers the information you want or does the actual work and sets a corresponding SI_ environment variable that you define. Probe functions become probe keywords.
Comparison – Calls a corresponding probe function, compares the output of the probe function, and returns 0 if the keyword matches or 1 if the keyword does not match. Comparison functions become rule keywords.
The custom_probes file can contain any valid Bourne shell command, variable, or algorithm.
You can define probe and comparison functions that require a single argument in the custom_probes file. When you use the corresponding custom probe keyword in the rules file, the argument after the keyword is interpreted (as $1).
When you use the corresponding custom rule keyword in the rules file, the arguments are interpreted in sequence. The sequence starts after the keyword and ends before the next && or begin script, whichever comes first.
The custom_probes file must meet the following requirements:
Have root as its owner
Be executable and have permissions set to 755
Contain at least one probe function and one corresponding comparison function
To improve clarity and organization, define all probe functions first, at the top of the file, followed by all comparison functions.
The name of a probe function must begin with probe_. The name of a comparison function must begin with cmp_.
Functions that begin with probe_ define new probe keywords. For example, the function probe_tcx defines the new probe keyword tcx. Functions that begin with cmp_ define new rule keywords. For example, cmp_tcx defines the new rule keyword tcx.
Use a text editor to create a Bourne shell script text file. Name the file custom_probes.
In the custom_probes text file, define your probe and comparison functions.
You can define probe and comparison functions that require arguments in the custom_probes file. When you use the corresponding custom probe keyword in the rules file, the arguments after the keyword are interpreted in sequence (as $1, $2, and so on).
When you use the corresponding custom rule keyword in the rules file, the arguments are interpreted in sequence. The sequence starts after the keyword and ends before the next && or begin script, whichever comes first.
Save the custom_probes file in the JumpStart directory next to the rules file.
Ensure that root owns the rules file and that the permissions are set to 644.
You can find additional examples of probe and comparison functions in the following directories:
/usr/sbin/install.d/chkprobe on a system that has the Solaris software installed
/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/usr/sbin/install.d/chkprobe on the Solaris Operating System DVD or on the Solaris Software - 1 CD
The following custom_probes file contains a probe and comparison function that tests for the presence of a TCX graphics card.
#!/bin/sh # # custom_probe script to test for the presence of a TCX graphics card. # # # PROBE FUNCTIONS # probe_tcx() { SI_TCX=`modinfo | grep tcx | nawk '{print $6}'` export SI_TCX } # # COMPARISON FUNCTIONS # cmp_tcx() { probe_tcx if [ "X${SI_TCX}" = "X${1}" ]; then return 0 else return 1 if }
The following example rules file shows the use of the probe keyword that is defined in the preceding example, tcx. If a TCX graphics card is installed and found in a system, profile_tcx is run. Otherwise, profile is run.
Always place probe keywords at or near the beginning of the rules file. This placement ensures that the keywords are read and run before other rule keywords that might rely on the probe keywords.
probe tcx tcx tcx - profile_tcx - any any - profile -

After a ban on outside beverages led to a huge drop in attendance last year, officials at Pimlico Racetrack are changing course. Still no outside drinks, but $20 gets you a bottomless mug of beer. This plan has no flaws.
They've also lowered the price of admission for this year's Preakness Stakes, from $50 to $40. So you no longer need to haul your cooler full of Natty Boh down to the track, because the event is now a day-long open bar for sixty bucks. As a cure for drunkenness this seems counterproductive—though quite lucrative for beer vendors—but at least it will cure the welts on your head that normally result from flying aluminum cans as you run the port-a-john gauntlet. Which you will definitely be doing after you enjoy free refills in the hot sun for six hours.
Of course, this might be the last year they even have a Triple Crown—the Belmont Stakes is a bit of a financial pickle—so drink, drink and be merry for tomorrow horse racing dies.

Fisher-Price Recalls 800K Infant Sleepers over Risk of Mold Exposure
(WASHINGTON) -- Fisher-Price is recalling about 800,000 infant sleepers over concerns about mold buildup, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on Tuesday.
The recall affects Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleepers sold in stores and online since September 2009.
The CPSC said Fisher-Price has received 600 reports of mold on the recliner seats and some parents have reported illnesses linked to the product.
"Sixteen consumers have reported that their infants have been treated for respiratory issues, coughs and hives after sleeping in the product," the CPSC said in a press release.
Mold can develop under the sleeper's removable seat cushion if it is left wet or not cleaned frequently, warns the CPSC.
Consumers who own the affected product are being asked to immediately check it for any mold. If they spot any, they should cease use of the sleepers right away and contact Fisher-Price to find out how to remove the mold properly.
The recall does not affect Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleepers currently in stores.

While investigating the prospects of changing out the anodes on my trim tabs I got a pretty decent electrical shock when I touched my starboard trim tab. I knew I was lucky it wasn't worse and I am also very pissed. We could only get the current to stop when we unplugged both shore power cables. Turning off the 120V breakers one by one didn't stop it. So I am looking at the actually shore power switch. When looking at it, there were about 9 different cables connected to it. I have 2 30amp connections and the generator. That seems to be a few too many cables to me. I am going to track them all down tomorrow morning and figure out where they all go. I did find that the one shore power had its ground running straight into the 120V panel's neutral block. I moved that so it went into the galvonic isolator, but it is still leaking.

The wait is over: you can now order up a brand new Nokia Lumia 521 direct from T-Mobile. The cost of the device is of course exceptionally low, coming in at just $29 down payment and just $5 a month for your two-year…errr…non-contract with T-Mobile. Feeling lavish? Then you can just buy the phone outright for a mere $150, which last we checked is damn low for a brand new smartphone in 2013.
The Lumia 521 from Nokia is a custom variant of the Lumia 520, comes in white and sports a dual-core 1GHz CPU, 4" LCD display, 512MB of RAM and a 5MP rear shooter. While you give up things like NFC, wireless charging, a front-facing camera and the ability to play a handful of games, you do get a solid smartphone running Windows Phone 8 and Nokia's excellent navigation software and app selection.
Nokia told us that devices like the Lumia 505 (South America) and the Lumia 520 are selling exceptionally well and we've seen the Lumia 521 sell out on HSN and Walmart in their exclusive pre-sale deal,, which evidently ends today. Will the trend continue? We think so.
And yes, our Lumia 521 is due today or tomorrow, so if you want a quick video tour of the device, stay tuned. In the meantime, who's picking one up?

Cuban American Bar Association Condemns Racially Charged Video Game (thanks Chris Johnson and Gamasutra (registration required)) has word of the latest unhappy reaction to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA) has sent a letter "to the manufacturers of the video game... condemning the game's use of racially charged remarks promoting the hate and killing of Haitians and Cubans," demanding an apology to each group. They copy U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and Florida Governor Jeb Bush , as they are also "seeking the removal of the offensive video game from store shelves throughout the country." Finally: "CABA's letter quotes the Haitian government spokesperson, Mr. Mario Dupuy, who stated, 'this racist game is psychologically extremely dangerous and is an incitement to genocide.'"

As many of you affected with ichthyosis already know, at times, this condition can present enormous challenges. And yet, as many of you also know there are still other times when ichthyosis is simply a background hum to the music of life. Member Brian Gass, affected with CIE, is living, walking, and hiking proof that although his ichthyosis is a part of his life's journey, it follows his lead, trailing far behind his pursuit of passions, dreams, and interests.
Recently Brian contacted us to let us know he'd be doing a little traveling this summer. Well, actually a lot of traveling– 2,650 miles up the spine of the Sierras from Mexico to Canada, to be exact. Although he is an avid hiker, racking up "over a thousand trail miles on three continents," this journey will prove to be a journey of his lifetime.
For the benefit of others affected by ichthyosis who share in his love of the outdoors, periodically throughout the summer he will be reporting back to FIRST and on his blog: (https://hikeonthegoodfoot.blogspot.com/). Not only will Brian be sharing an up-close view of the most breathtaking terrain, but he will be sharing everything he learns and experiences about the care and safety of his skin along the way.
We are happy to share Brian's mission and his message: do what you love first and your skin will follow.
Here is a personal note from Brian with more information regarding the details of his upcoming adventure.
Thanks to FIRST for this post.

The final leg of our marathon deer season should end with a bang on Monday.
The recent snowstorm has created the most productive conditions to hunt. It's definitely time to leave the passive confines of our tree stands and actively follow the tracks of big bucks that thus far have succeeded in eluding us.
No form of deer hunting is more exciting or potentially more rewarding than stalking silently into the wind on fresh, soft snow.
Birders looking out to sea this morning at Sandy Neck in Barnstable or Andrews Point in Rockport are no doubt benefiting from northeast winds driving offshore species close to land.
The latter vantage point already has provided rare sightings of great skua and black-capped petrel this winter. I'm betting those observers hardy enough to buffet the cold and wind are now seeing through their scopes and binoculars huge numbers of gannets, along with a few penguin-like puffins, murres, razorbills, dovekies and guillemots.
Serious pelagic birders never miss the awesome opportunities provided by nor'easters.
Local anglers and bait shops will be happy to know that Atlantic salmon fishing in Massachusetts will continue, though significantly diminished by the loss of one our hatcheries.
One hundred twenty-four big brood stock salmon from the Roger Reed Salmon Hatchery in Palmer were recently stocked at Whalom Lake, Comet Pond, Lake Quinsigamond, Wallum Lake and Webster Lake.
In addition, four of the Cape's underfished, well-stocked trout ponds — Cliff, Little, Long and Sheep's — also received their allotment of 25 brood stock salmon each. The 6-1/2-pound leapers should provide some unforgettable catches for lucky anglers this winter, though the bonanza of years past when many more fish were available may be gone forever.
Meanwhile, Cape pond fishermen, if they're able to fish deep enough, are reporting good smallmouth bass fishing.
Lakers and rainbows were taken from shore at Wachusett Reservoir throughout November. It's a shame the season there had to close on Dec. 1, when action was still good — and, from some perspectives, even improving.
Many anglers want to know why we can't fish there until ice forms. Extending the season, they argue, would help the local economy and our struggling bait shops and enhance our recreation.
With climate change, maybe the DCR should re-examine some old closure rules that appear to many rather arbitrary today. If ice continues to form later, a future December fishing season at Wachusett Reservoir would be a much-appreciated Christmas present for many local fishermen and businesses.
Our coastal fishing is pretty much over. The closure of many seasonal bait shops signaled the true onset of winter there. Many surfcasters are still talking, though, about 2012 at the canal, which provided some of the best fishing there in decades. But for good action now, you need to head south.
Connecticut has stocked about 2,000 brood-stock salmon, most heavily in the upper and lower Naugatuck River (more than 800 fish), Beach Pond, Crystal Lake, Mount Tom Pond and the Shetucket River (more than 700 fish).
A few stripers were reported taken in the Middle Ground area while good numbers of schoolies are presently feeding on alewives in the Housatonic River. The Thames River hasn't been particularly productive yet, though we expect the great river will improve throughout the winter.
Connecticut shell fishermen reportedly have been coming home with limits of scallops from the Niantic River. Fresh-opened scallops rival our best oysters.
For winter codfish, Rhode Island charter boats out of Snug Harbor and Point Judith are doing a good business — when they can get out. The story is the same out of Gloucester — pollock fishing is good, when they can get out.
Drift-boat fishermen on the Oswego River in New York regularly are taking good numbers of steelhead and brown trout. The Salmon River, with fewer fishermen willing to risk chilled fingers and hypothermic dunkings, also has been giving up steelheads and big browns.
According to MassWildlife's Bill Davis, the preliminary deer season harvest numbers for the Central District included 655 whitetails taken during the archery season.
Bob's Gun and Archery in Webster and Fin & Feather Sports in Upton each checked 106 deer, followed by Moe's Bait & Tackle in Berlin with 63, Turnpike Rod & Gun in Ashburnham and Ric's Still Alive Taxidermy in Leominster with 60 each, and D&G Bait & Tackle in Leicester with 59. Many thanks to all the shops that took time away from their business to provide convenient check-in service for us.
Bow hunter Rodney Miller, vice president at Leicester Rod & Gun, took two heavy bucks this season. One was a 152-pound 8-point, the other an old 182-pound 9-point with significant tooth wear. Both bucks were taken from the same stand in thick laurel.
The second buck was shot within 20 yards of where the first buck was field dressed. The presence of the gut pile didn't ruin the hunting. Many hunters will give up on a location once a deer is harvested from it, assuming coyotes will feed on the remains and spook deer from the area. There's a lesson here. A good cover obviously can produce more than one deer, and bucks are far less concerned about discarded viscera than many of us believe.
During shotgun season, which always provides the largest harvest, Central District check stations handled 1,057 deer. Bob's Gun & Archery checked 206, Wickaboag Valley Bait & Tackle in West Brookfield had 145, and the combined Fin & Feather and Upton State Forest station had 128.
The year 2012 has been remarkable for the extraordinary number of impressive racks being reported. MassWildlife's scientific management program is working beautifully, producing big, healthy deer while minimizing deer-related problems.
Environmental police recently confiscated deer taken by hunters not having purchased the required stamps for archery or primitive firearms seasons. They've also noted some hunters possessing multiple copies of licenses and antlerless permits. Most hunters are entitled to just one of the latter. This is the first year hunters are printing licenses and permits off the computer, and some people are apparently trying to take advantage of the system.
More alarming is the illegal hunter importation here of two deer from Pennsylvania, a Chronic Wasting Disease-positive state. The deer were confiscated and incinerated. Cavalier disregard for our herd-protecting law puts our whitetail deer at risk. Ethical deer hunters shouldn't allow this to happen.
Today, Saturday and Sunday — Youth indoor archery clinics during winter break for ages 6-16. Equipment supplied. Fin & Feather, Upton. Afternoon classes will also available from Jan. 2-16, 3:30 to 5 p.m. Info: Jeff LeClaire, (508) 529-3901.
Saturday — Uxbridge Christmas Bird Count. Compiler: Strickland Wheelock, (508) 278-5885.
Monday — Primitive firearms season for deer closes.
Tuesday — New Year's Day Bird Walk, noon, Forbush Bird Club. Meet at All Faiths Cemetery entrance, 67 Island Road, Worcester. Leader: John Shea, (508) 752-4364.

Judging from the pictures he was texting me early that day, Mark seemed to be having a great time in Dallas despite the weather. He tells me that he and some friends got to the stadium several hours in advance to walk about the spectacle that is Jerry's World. After a 25-minute trek through tents and security pat-downs, Mark stepped up to a ticket scanner. And that's where things started going sour.
His tickets were coming up with a big invalid "X". Not sure what was going on, Mark was told there might be an issue with the bar code and had to visit the ticket resolution center, a half-mile or more away. Slightly embarrassed and unsure, Mark began walking, trying not to get upset. After all, it was still hours until kickoff. When he arrived at the tent, it was clear he was not alone. There was already a massive line of people who all received the same rejection as Mark at the gate, and they appeared more than just annoyed.
"They were just pissed," Mark said. "But nobody knew what was going on. We were eventually told our tickets were unusable. I was wondering if Ashton Kutcher was going to pop out and say I was Punk'd."
Sometime after 3pm, Mark and the others were moved into an area called the Party Plaza, a fenced-in tailgate-style section without bathrooms. Apparently, there was food and drinks, but definitely not free. There, a frustrated Mark and hundreds like him were subject to more idle downtime while those in charge from afar seemingly tried to decide just what to do with the displaced herd of ticketholders without seats.
During the waiting, Mark met a variety of people, including a 91-year old man who had driven all the way down with his grandson to Dallas from Chicago. "We felt so bad for them. We were like, 'this isn't the end of the world for us.' We just felt so bad. This wasn't right at all."
At this point (roughly around 4pm) with no reliable information coming, the agitation levels were peaking. People were chanting "Jerry sucks!" and one guy began screaming "class action law suit!" while violently shaking the face that held him in.
The crowd was finally told they were going to be let it. Mark and friend followed the crowd to whatever entrance they were being led. "I never felt like more of a reject in my life," he said. When they got into the stadium, they tried to flag down anyone wearing an earpiece, thinking they might know what was going on. Without any real explanation so far, Mark was still hoping the situation would be resolved and he could get a seat. Sadly, this wasn't the case. Now, 45 minutes until kickoff, Mark and others were ushered into an elevator and led to a ground floor area called the Miller Lite Club, again wondering if he was being Punk'd.
"It was more like a holding pen," Mark said. According to him, this area was actually about five feet below the playing surface, so that they could "only see legs." Mark said they couldn't see any of the game and were bunched together several deep, trying to make sense of the game on monitors that had a 40-second audio delay. "We strangely got used to that," he said.
During the first quarter, these apology letters were handed out.
Sometime during the 2nd quarter, the displaced ticket-holders were then offered vouchers for free drinks. But shockingly, there was a catch – a tab maximum was placed so that twenty minutes and one free drink later, everything was back to normal price ($10 for a 12-ounce beer, he said.) In the 3rd quarter they were given sandwiches and a small buffet including mac 'n cheese. People were standing in entryways three- and four-deep (apparently allowed) and doing whatever they could to catch a glimpse of live action.
"At this point, we just felt like a nuisance and a reject, like we were somehow ruining it for everyone else… We barely watched the game and saw nothing live at all. It was a complete disappointment. Kids were crying. Old ladies were crying. It was like, 'this is it? This is what is comes down to?'"
In the 4th quarter, they were given what Mark refers to as a "Sorry Sack," which included a t-shirt, hat and a program. There were rumblings they would be able to go onto the field after the game. An NFL representative eventually came around and apologized, exchanged emails with the displaced fans, and said they wanted to make it right.
One of the few highlights for Mark came after the game, roughly twenty minutes after the Lombardi trophy presentation when they were in fact allowed on field (in another gated-in area). "That was kind of neat. They were trying to make something right," he said. He was able to take this picture of John Kuhn.
As I write this, Mark is waiting in the Dallas airport, disappointed from the experience and ready to return home. I give Mark a lot of credit for taking this as well as he has. There are certainly people who went through the same hassles and runaround – who got the same sporadic information and who effectively missed the Super Bowl they traveled to see – who are many times more livid than Mark.
I decided to ask Mark if there anything the NFL could do to make it up to him. He replied, "Yeah – not let it happen in the first place. This shouldn't have happened. They knew about it. This is like being a kid and going to Disneyworld and finding out it it's closed. We didn't get to even see the Lombardi presentation. We could've seen this all at home, and been a lot more comfortable. It's not about the money, it's about the experience and a lot of people lost out on that. They could've let us shake every player's hand, but they're not going to fix the fact we missed the Packers win the Super Bowl."
Update: Since this posting, an NFL representative has contacted me in hopes of reaching Mark to inform him of the new options as announced by Commissioner Roger Goodell. This offer, available to all of the 400 affected ticketholders, now includes a free ticket to a future Super Bowl of his choice, airfare and accommodations. Complete details can be found on NFL.com. While there will surely be several lessons learned from this experience, I applaud the NFL for trying to make things right. Though I cannot speak for him, I believe Mark will be satisfied.

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. It was first identified in 1975 when a group of children in Old Lyme, Connecticut, had mysterious arthritis-like symptoms. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium B. burgdorferi, which is carried by deer ticks.
Not every bite from a deer tick causes Lyme disease. It is more likely to happen if the tick stays attached to your skin for 36 hours or more. Cases have been reported in nearly all states, and the disease is also on the rise in large areas of Asia and Europe.
It is very important to get early treatment for Lyme disease, so if you have any symptoms, you should call your doctor immediately. Although symptoms may go away after a while, that does not mean the disease is gone. People who get early treatment with antibiotics usually get better without any complications. If it is not treated, Lyme disease can spread to the:
Lyme disease has three stages.
Localized Early Stage
A red rash appears within a few weeks of a tick bite, starting as a small red spot at the site of the bite. The spot gets bigger over time, making a circle or oval and sometimes looking like a bull's eye. The rash can range in size from that of a dime to the entire width of a person's back. As the infection spreads, rashes can show up at different places on the body. You may also have flu-like symptoms.
Early Disseminated Stage
The early disseminated stage includes:
Late Stage
The late stage includes:
Deer ticks carrying the bacterium B. burgdorferi bite people. The bacteria get into the skin, after the infected tick has been in place for 36 to 48 hours.
Your risk of Lyme disease may be higher if you:
Lyme disease can be hard to diagnose because many of its symptoms look like those of other illnesses, and there is no definitive lab test for Lyme disease. About 20% of people with Lyme disease do not get a rash. Tell your doctor if you think you may have been bitten by a tick. Your doctor may order these tests:
The best defense against Lyme disease is to guard against tick bites, such as:
Use an insect repellent with DEET. Wear light-colored clothing, which makes ticks easier to see, and inspect your body carefully after you have been outdoors. If you find a tick, remove it with tweezers, making sure to remove the head as well as the body. Seeing your doctor and taking antibiotics within 3 days of a tick bite may prevent Lyme disease.
Your health care provider may prescribe the following medications:
You should never treat Lyme disease with complementary therapies alone. Anyone who has Lyme disease needs to take antibiotics to cure the disease and avoid complications. Lyme disease does affect many parts of your body, so including complementary therapies along with standard treatment may help.
Some people believe they have long-lasting complications from Lyme disease. Using CAM therapies to treat these long-lasting complications is controversial. Conventional doctors believing that CAM practitioners may be attributing too many random symptoms to Lyme disease. Make sure you see reputable doctors, whether conventional or CAM practitioners, and educate yourself so that you can be your own advocate.
Always tell all of your doctors about the herbs and supplements you are using or considering using.
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you should take herbs with care, under the supervision of a health care provider. Some helpful herbs include:
Few studies have examined the effectiveness of specific homeopathic remedies. Professional homeopaths, however, may recommend treatments for Lyme disease based on their knowledge and clinical experience. Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type, including your physical, emotional, and intellectual makeup.
In some cases, such as Lyme disease, a professional homeopath may prescribe specific remedies without considering the individual's constitutional state. Such remedies for Lyme disease include:
Most people who are treated with antibiotics make a full recovery. Getting early treatment can help avoid complications.
If you have a severe and advanced case of Lyme disease with varied symptoms, your health care provider may want to see you regularly.

Heineken Cup
Heineken Cup - Team of the Round
ESPNscrum Staff
January 22, 2012
Simon Zebo scored three tries for Munster against Northampton © Getty Images
The final round of Heineken Cup Pool action did not want for drama, but which players stood out enough to earn a place in our Team of the Round?
15. Rob Kearney (Leinster)
The former British & Irish Lions fullback is approaching his best form and scored one of the tries of the tournament against Montpellier. A great line from deep, a dab on the gas and a great fend to finish under the posts.
14. Sitiveni Sivivatu (Clermont Auvergne)
The big All Black was initially slow to settle in France, but now he's producing the sort of fireworks that made him one of the world's most dangerous wingers. Outstanding workrate.
13. Keith Earls (Munster)
Timing is everything. With the Six Nations around the corner and Brian O'Driscoll still injured, Earls threw his hat in the ring as a possible replacement with a top-drawer display in Munster's rout of Northampton.
12. Wesley Fofana (Clermont Auvergne)
The coming man of French rugby, Fofana looked so dangerous on the few occasions that Clermont gave him some space. Proved that under pressure his quick feet and incisive bran do not desert him.
11. Simon Zebo (Munster)
The Ireland Under-20 winger was in irrepressible form against Northampton. His three tries demonstrated his pace and finishing instincts, and they were all scored with a smile. A star is born perhaps?
10. Niall O'Connor (Connacht)
There's benefit to be had in knowing your surroundings. Faced with a Galway gale and stinging rain, O'Connor kept his nerve to land the three penalties that gave Connacht a maiden Heineken Cup win and scalp - Harlequins - that a few other sides have failed to take this season.
9. Morgan Parra (Clermont Auvergne)
It was a classic one on one battle between the scrum-halves in this one, with Parra coming out on top against the impressive Ruan Pienaar. Hustled and harried his pack, kicked well from hand and the tee. Classy stuff.
1. Lionel Faure (Clermont Auvergne)
The former France international ran out of steam early in the second-half, but his early showing was fairly special. Alongside his strong set-piece work was a stunning tap-tackle to fell Ulster wing Craig Gilroy - an intervention that may well have saved the result.
2. Ti'i Paulo (Clermont Auvergne) If Faure saved the result, Paulo secured it. The former Crusaders hooker was a ball of energy after coming on in the second-half and he made the perfect impact off the bench, peeling away from a ruck to catch Ulster out with a vital try.
3. Brian Mujati (Northampton Saints)
Scant consolation perhaps, but Mujati's dominance at the scrum was the sole high point for the Saints. Two penalty tries tells only part of the story though, but failings elsewhere cannot take away from his mastery of the set-piece.
4. Mike McCarthy (Connacht)
The Connacht pack was imperious against 'Quins and while John Muldoon is unlucky to miss out on selection after a storming performance at blindside, McCarthy underlined his international credentials with an assured display.
5. Paul O'Connell (Munster)
The big man is back. He has been growing in stature week on week and was quite outstanding around the field in Milton Keynes. One of the great leaders around at the moment.
6. Aaron Shingler (Scarlets)
The Welsh region booked a place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarters thanks to Shingler's intervention - a spectacular 90 metre interception that saw the blindside outsprint Scotland wing Max Evans.
7. Gerhard Vosloo (Clermont Auvergne)
A small reshuffle here, as Vosloo deserved a spot in the side. A constanst threat at the breakdown, where his timing was spot on throughout, he kept Clermont in there against an Ulster back-row that has swamped many other sides.
8. James Coughlan (Munster)
When his side needed some space after a battering at the scrum, Coughlan obliged. He was part of a Munster back-row that took Northampton apart, and he ran himself into the ground. Also played a strong supporting role as Munster tormented the Saints at the restart.

Specialty EMRs: Behind the Curve?
Are specialty EMRs worth investing in? There is debate on both sides of the issue, and a general consensus doesn't appear to be developing anytime soon. Anne talks about assertions made in a statement recently about specialty EMRs, and offers her own two cents on the topic.
Study Suggests Most HIEs Aren't Sustainable
HIEs are very expensive. Unfortunately, according to a recent study, the investment in them don't seem to have any financial or clinical payback. There's so much time and effort being put toward HIEs — would money be better spent elsewhere? Likely, but Anne Zieger doesn't see things changing anytime soon.

Hello there. My name is Reece and I'm from the United Kingdom. I'm really new to Java and I don't really know much about the language at all. To be honest, I just want to learn this language as a hobby. I did start picking up the basics of the language Ruby, which I'm now no longer learning. The reason I stopped with Ruby is because one of my friends told me that Java would be a better language to learn.
I'm basically back at square one. I registered to this forum because I could probably do with some help when I start picking things up. I really don't want to be spoon fed everything due to the risk of not picking up the language. For now, I'm just browsing Google to pick up on the basics. I do have a certain goal that I want to reach with this language. I really want to make a Blackjack game. The reason I want to make that game is because a friend told me that it was a good project to start with. I have quite a few really good ideas that I would like to put in motion after I've finished this first project. One step at a time though I guess.
Well, I'm going to end my introduction here because I've started to write a book by the look of this post.

Full TitlePhase III Comparison of Thoracic Radiotherapy Regimens in Patients with Limited Small Cell Lung Cancer Also Receiving Cisplatin or Carboplatin and Etoposide (CALGB 30610/RTOG 0538)
The standard therapy for limited small cell lung cancer is chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide every three weeks, plus radiation therapy twice a day for three weeks. In this study, researchers want to study two other chemoradiation regimens with the standard therapy to compare their effectiveness and their side effects.
Patients will be randomly assigned to receive the standard treatment regimen or one of two investigational regimens. In one investigational regimen, radiation therapy is given once a day for seven weeks. In the second investigational regimen, patients receive radiation once a day for 16 days of treatment (about three weeks), followed by radiation twice a day for the remaining 9 days of treatment (about two weeks), for a total of five weeks. Patients in all three study groups will receive cisplatin and etoposide every three weeks.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have limited small cell lung cancer.
- Patients whose cancer has been completely removed with surgery may not participate.
- Patients may not have had prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy for small cell lung cancer.
- Patients must be able to be ambulatory for more than half of their normal waking hours.
- Patients must be age 18 or older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Andreas Rimner at 212-639-6025.

Icon of the Mother of God "O All-Hymned Mother"
The Icon "O All-Hymned Mother" derives its title from the thirteenth Kontakion of the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos. "O All-Hymned Mother who bore the Word, holiest of all the saints...."
The Mother of God wears a crown, and clasps Her child to Her breast with both hands. Christ is held in Her left arm, and rests on Her left shoulder. He is facing Her, and both of His hands are placed below Her neck.
Instead of the usual stars on Her head and shoulders, the faces of angels appear in three circles. This is similar to the Arabian Icon (September 6) and the "Stone of the Mountain not cut by Hands" Icon on the iconostasis of the cathedral of the Transfiguration at Solovki.

Tuesday, February 1, 2011
National steel-service center Olympic Steel, Cleveland, OH, announced plans to purchase a 150,000-sq.-ft. facility at U.S. Steel's Gary Works location in Gary, IN. It will outfit the facility to add 150,000 to 180,000 new tons of high-quality tempered sheet capacity, so it can better serve its customers in the Chicago market. The facility will house a new four-high temper mill (from I2S, LLC), a Butech cut-to-length line, and several pieces of plate-burning equipment. The new mill will allow Olympic's temper mills in Cleveland and Iowa to expand their respective sales territories, according to company officials.
