You may be feeling your uvula when you swallow rather than your

removal is not an exact science and often a little tonsular tissue can be left behind after surgery which can indeed grow back. My daughter has monster tonsils which look to me like they almost join up with the uvula in the middle but she doesn't feel them when swallowing because they have been huge all her life. The doctor said they are normal sized(!!

My dilemma is that for the previous 2 or 3 years, I have had an enlarged right
. Both of my tonsils are
, but the right is much worse than the left. As long as I can remember, I have had chronc head and throat problems. I had multiple ear infections (always in the right ear) and my ear drum busted twice as a grade schooler. Since my early teen years, I have had chronic sore throats and it usually seemed to be the most red and inflamed on the right side.

Six days following exposure, I had a mild sore throat with a little bit of

So it's possible the food particles are becoming lodged in the thick mucous lining my throat, but I am really concerned that some type of pocket may have formed in my throat just below my tongue that is catching the food particles and along with mucous, saliva and bacteria is now forming

2015 rate hike less than 2 percent
Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler announced in September that for plans sold through the state-run exchange – Washington Healthplanfinder – average premiums would only be increasing by 1.9 percent for 2015. This represents a significant improvement over the past several years, when premiums in the individual market in Washington increased an average of 8 to 18 percent each year. The state is still finalizing premiums for off-exchange products for 2015, and for two new carriers that applied to join the exchange.
In addition to lower-than-normal rate increases, the filed rates represent a large increase in the number of plans that will be available next year, both on and off-exchange. If they are all approved by the state, there will be 114 plans in the exchange next year (up from 46 this year) and 119 plans outside the exchange (up from 51 this year).
New carriers, more plans
In 2014, eight insurers offered individual policies through the Washington Healthplanfinder:
- Bridgespan
- Community Health Plan of Washington
- Group Health Cooperative
- Coordinated Care
- Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Northwest
- LifeWise
- Molina Healthcare of Washington
- Premera Blue Cross
For 2015, they will be joined by Columbia United Providers.
In addition, three new carriers' plans and rates are still under review by the Insurance Commissioner: Moda Health Plan, Inc., United Healthcare of Washington, Inc. and Health Alliance Northwest Health Plan Inc.
For the carriers that have already been certified to sell 2015 policies, 90 plans have been approved for sale (plan availability varies from one region to another). That's nearly double the 46 individual policy options that were available in 2014, and it doesn't yet include plans from United Healthcare and Health Alliance.
The addition of more carriers and plans demonstrates how successful Washington's exchange has been in its first year, and the new plans should be beneficial in terms of competition, consumer choice, and rate stabilization.
Renewing coverage for 2015
For people who already have a plan through Washington Healthplanfinder, automatic renewal will be possible – assuming their plan will still be available in 2015 – if they checked a box on their initial 2014 application allowing the exchange to verify their subsidy eligibility by checking federal tax data for up to five years. About 80 percent of the exchange's 2014 plans will be available again in 2015, and the exchange has reported that roughly 100,000 of their 147,000 private plan enrollees will be eligible for automatic renewal.
These consumers will receive a letter from the exchange letting them know that their plan is being renewed with the applicable subsidy, but they will also have the option to switch to a new plan during open enrollment. In Washington, the deadline to enroll or switch plans is December 23 if you want to have a January 1 effective date (this is later than the deadline in most other states).
2015 rates will not be available on Washington Healthplanfinder's quote system until November 15, but the state Insurance Commissioner has already published rates that have been approved thus far, with a notice that more will be added as they are approved. Their website allows consumers to see rates in PDF format for each region of the state.
Washington Healthplanfinder 2014 enrollment
Washington Healthplanfinder announced on September 5 that 147,888 people were enrolled in private plans through the exchange as of the end of July. The exchange had enrolled 11,497 people with special enrollment periods triggered by qualifying events since between March 31 and July 31, and remains one of the country's most successful exchanges. A quarter of the people who enrolled were in the 25 – 34 "young invincible" age group.
By the end of July, the exchange had disenrolled a total of 24,072 people because of non-payment, loss of eligibility, or voluntary plan terminations, but that's an attrition rate of just 6.4 percent. Including Medicaid and private plans, 1,283,670 people were enrolled in plans through Washington Healthplanfinder at the end of July.
In addition to the private plan enrollments, 909,752 people had enrolled in Medicaid through the Washington exchange by mid-April (nearly half of those people were already enrolled previously, but renewed their Medicaid coverage through the exchange).
Also by June 1, another 171,286 people had enrolled in private individual plans outside of the exchange in Washington, making the off-exchange market in Washington even more robust than the exchange market (off-exchange plans are all ACA-compliant, but there are no subsidies available to offset the premiums and cost-sharing for off-exchange plans).
Improvements for 2015
Open enrollment for 2015 is just around the corner; it starts on November 15. It runs for just three months this time, ending on February 15, and Washington Healthplanfinder CEO Richard Onizuka is reminding Washington residents to enroll early rather than waiting until the last minute. Applicants who wish to have a January 1 effective date must complete their enrollments by December 23.
Washington Healthplanfinder has been hard at work to ensure that their second open enrollment period is even more smooth and successful than their first. The exchange has made significant progress on the back-end functionality of the website, improving the transmittal of enrollment and payment data to insurance carriers, and implementing critical code and data fixes to avoid repeats of the isolated – but very frustrating – billing and invoice issues that arose in 2014. As a result of all the fixes, there will be far fewer billing, enrollment, and submission errors during the 2015 open enrollment.
From a consumer interface perspective, Washington Healthplanfinder will be more user friendly this year too. They've added screen-sharing functionality with customer support, and additional on-screen definitions to help consumers – especially those who are not familiar with how health insurance works – better understand the enrollment process.
They've also added new information on the eligibility screen to make it easier to understand eligibility for each member of a household. This page summarizes the improvements Washington Healthplanfinder has made over the last year.
Consumers will also have the option to pay premiums to the exchange using paper checks in 2015, as opposed to 2014 when all payments had to be electronic. Although electronic payments are widely considered to be a convenient method, they can be difficult for low-income residents.
Billing and invoices
In Washington, enrollees pay their premiums directly to Washington Healthplanfinder and the exchange then sends the premiums out to each insurer (although the exchange notes that customers do also have the option of paying premiums directly to insurers). This is different from the standard billing method used in most other states, where insureds pay their premiums to the carriers after enrolling through the exchange.
For the most part, this has worked smoothly in Washington, but a technological invoice problem has impacted roughly 25,000 enrollments (about 15 percent of the total) and has resulted in premiums being paid even though the carrier has no record of the enrollee. As of early June, the exchange was working to fix the problem.
By early October, nearly all of the billing problems had been resolved, but there were still approximately 1,300 customer accounts that continued to have technical issues. Those remaining problems are expected to be fixed by mid-October.
Special off-exchange enrollment period
With all of the improvements, the state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler has said he is "cautiously optimistic" that the technological problems people have faced with enrollment this year will be fully resolved by November 15, but notes that there is "no guarantee."
Because of the glitches that have hampered enrollment for some people, Kreidler's office has implemented a special open enrollment period running from August 27 to November 14, for people who wish to enroll in a plan outside the exchange because of problems with their exchange enrollment. In order to utilize the special enrollment period, consumers must first contact the Washington Healthplanfinder suppport center at 588-923-4633.
Subsidies are not available outside the exchange, and Washington Healthplanfinder notes that they have resolved nearly all of the problems that occurred during the first open enrollment. So it's unlikely that a large number of people will take advantage of the special enrollment period.
Washington Heatlthplanfinder history
Washington was one of the first states to move ahead with a state-run health insurance marketplace as envisioned by the Affordable Care Act. Former Gov. Chris Gregoire signed legislation creating the state exchange in May 2011. In March 2012 Gregoire signed additional legislation, which further defined how the exchange will be governed and operated.
The Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) helped establish the Washington marketplace. HCA transitioned governing authority to an 11-member board of directors in March 2012. The governor appointed eight voting members and a board chairperson who votes only in if needed to break a tie. In addition, the insurance commissioner and the administrator of the Health Care Authority are non-voting members.
In March, 2014, Washington legislators tried to pass a bill that would have created much more transparency in the state's health insurance industry, providing consumers with data on how much insurers are paying for services in each region of the state. It had widespread support, but opposition from Premera Blue Cross – the state's largest insurer – sank the bill and Washington did not join the 11 other states that have all-payer claims databases.
The federal government is funding the Washington Healthplanfinder in 2014. In 2015, marketplace operations will be funded by the state with $21 million that was previously earmarked for the state's high-risk insurance pool, which will be operated through the exchange, and with a 2 percent tax on premiums on plans sold through the exchange.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), about 835,000 Washington residents could potentially use the new marketplace to purchase private plans (nearly 148.000 had done so by the end of July). The Washington insurance commissioner's office estimates that 477,400 residents will qualify for subsidies, and state set a target of enrolling 280,000 people in 2014. Obviously it fell short of that amount, but enrollment continues throughout 2014 as a result of qualifying events.
Healthplanfinder Business (SHOP)
The Washington exchange for small businesses will offer 23 plans from two carriers in 2015:
- Moda Health Plan will be available state-wide, and is new to the small business exchange.
- Kaiser Permanent will be available in Clark and Cowlitz counties, where it also offered small group plans in 2014.
No grandmothered plans
Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler and Governor Jay Inslee took a strong progressive stance with regards to consumer protections: existing plans that did not meet ACA standards were cancelled at the end of 2013 and needed to be replaced on January 1 with new, ACA-compliant policies. Following President Obama's announcement that carriers could extend existing plans into 2014 if states allowed it, Kreidler and Inslee were quick to declare that Washington would not allow non-compliant plans to continue into 2014.

The first thing you see after climbing the flight of stairs to Saratoga Lanes is the bar. Behind it stands Mark, who promptly fills your request for shoes, pulling a pair from beneath the chilled Jägermeister machine and asking, "Are you ready for a drink?" Clearly, this is your kind of bowling alley. Opened in 1916, Saratoga Lanes is one of only a handful of second-floor bowling alleys left in the world (R.I.P. Arcade Lanes) and is the oldest alley west of the Mighty Mississip. It looks like it was updated in the 1950s and hasn't changed much since then. Sure it has satellite TV so you can watch the Cards. But there are only eight lanes here, and no automatic scoring. The night is young. Order up another beer and see if you can break 100.

Memoirs of a French Village: a chronicle of old Prairie du Rocher, 1722-1972
In summarizing or evaluating the history of Prairie du Rocher, one must note the impact that historical events and influences have made on present day, Prairie du Rocher. The community is today, as it was in the 1700′ s, basically an agricultural community. The farmers no longer live in the village, but they remain the basic economic factor in the village. The farm lands which surround Prairie du Rocher, are among the most fertile and bountiful soils in the world. The limestone bluffs, from which the French obtained stone for the construction of Fort Chartres, today provide livelihood for many of the villagers. The cemetery in which the inhabitants bury their dead in 1972 is the same one in which their ancestors buried their loved ones as early as 1722. The rock bluffs and the wide Mississippi River isolate the community from the outside world today, as they did in the early years. The mosquitoes remain as numerous and voracious as they were in 1839; and the damp, wet, unbearable, and unhealthy conditions return during the wet months. The population today is approximately 750, a gain of only 250 since 1859, over a hundred years ago. The old, distinctly French names such as Barbeau, Bievenue, Langlois, Louviere, De Rousse, and Duclos, still appear on the village registers, but the influence of the French is not limited to the inheritance of names. Over 90% of the residents today, belong to the Roman Catholic Church. The Church remains the center of the community. The majority of the villagers today, are complacent, contented, unambitious, good-natured, and happy – traits directly traceable to their ancestors. Most of the villagers remain to an amazing degree, as Montague described it, "free from that strife, contention, and turmoil, which attends the pursuit of wealth and political preferment." In order to observe this living historical heritage, one need only attend the annual church picnic, rendezvous, or witness the group of villagers dressed in 18th century costumes, on New Year's Eve, who move from house to house proclaiming the end of another year, in the old familiar words of the La Gui-annee.

Indian Captivity Narratives
This collection contains entire narratives of Indian captivity; that is to say, we have provided the reader the originals without the slightest abridgement. Some of these captivities provide little in way of customs and manners, except to display examples of the clandestine warfare Native Americans used to accomplish their means. In almost every case, there was a tug of war going on between principle government powers, French, American, British, and Spanish, and these powers used the natural prowess of the Indians to assist them in causing warfare upon American and Canadian settlers. There were definitely thousands of captivities, likely tens of thousands, as the active period of these Indian captivity narratives covers 150 years. Unfortunately, few have ever been put under a pen by the original captive, and as such, we have little first-hand details on their captivity. These you will find here, are only those with which were written by the captive or narrated to another who could write for them; you shall find in a later collection, a database of known captives, by name, location, and dates, and a narrative about their captivity along with factual sources. But that is for another time.
History of the Indian Wars
Our relations with the aboriginal inhabitants of this continent form a distinct and very important, and interesting portion of the history of this Republic. It is unfortunately, for the most part, a history of bloody wars, in which the border settlers have suffered all the horrors of savage aggression, and, in which portions of our colonial settlements have sometimes been completely cut off and destroyed. Other portions of this thrilling history, evince the courage, daring, and patience of the settlers, in a very favorable point of view, and exhibit them as triumphing over every difficulty, and finally obtaining a firm foothold on the soil. In all its parts, this history will always possess numerous points of peculiar interest for the American reader.

The Migration of Voyageurs from Drummond Island to Penetanguishene in 1828
The story of the transfer of the British garrison from Drummond Island to Penetanguishene in 1828 and the migration of voyageurs connected with the post has never been told in print. In the following notes Mr. Osborne has endeavored to gather this story from the lips of the few survivors who migrated at that time. Descendants of French-Canadians largely predominated in this movement, but we also get glimpses of what a strange and heterogeneous people once gathered around Mackinaw and Drummond Island, especially about the time of the coalition of the two fur companies in 1821. The migrant voyageurs settled principally near Penetanguishene, in the township of Tiny, Simcoe County. Offshoots of the band settled at Old Fort Ste. Marie, at Fesserton and Coldwater, and another south of Lake Simcoe, near Pefferlaw, York County. These notes will form a useful supplement to Joseph Taase's "Les Canadiens de l'Ouest."
Registers of the Parish of Michilimackinac

Singing Our Way Through: Songs for the World's Bravest Kids. Performed by Alastair Moock and others. CD. approx. 38 min. CDBaby.com. 2013. ISBN unavail. $14.99.
K-Gr 5–When Alastair Moock's five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago, he began singing and writing songs with her. Hek realized how much the music brightened Clio's mood and the result is this album, the goal of which is to bring joy to kids with cancer. Joined by several guest performers (Elizabeth Mitchell, the Okee Dokee Brothers, and others), Moock has created an album of 13 songs. Along with terrific vocals, the musicians give excellent performances on electric, acoustic, lap-steel, and slide resonator guitars; mandolin; upright and electric bass; organ; piano; mandocello; kazoo; kalimba; harmonica; accordion; drums; and percussion. Most of the songs have a folksy feel, featuring bluegrass, gospel, and folk musical styles. "I Am the Light," a spoken poem with an instrumental guitar background, poem uses the letters from "cancer" as the first lines of the stanzas. "When I Get Bald" I will still hold my head high. And children who are "B-R-A-V-E" endure invasive medical procedures with courage. Among the songs are "Take a Little Walk with Me," "Hard Travelin'" (Woody Guthrie), "Have You Ever Been Jealous," "Joy Comes Back," "Take Care of Your Grownups," and "Home When I Hold You" among others. The album ends with a rousing rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" with Clio singing a couple of verses, and then being joined by other patients, former patients, and siblings of patients. This emotional album will move everyone who has been touched by cancer.–Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX
