Love Chelsea. I know that Jan/Feb are going to tough months for the character, but I'm looking forward to seeing MCE knock all her scenes out of the ballpark. Hopefully these writers give her more emmy-winning material.
Pretty Emerald
I miss Chelsea! I sure hope that she has many scenes coming up soon because I can't stand watching the show without her!
hopey pix
It is definatley going to be tough in these cold winter months seeing Chelsea with a new Adam,if the TSJ rumor is true!!I sure hate that Michael Muhney AND Billy Miller are going at the SAME time!!How lousy for fans!!Is anyone REALLY looking forward to this change?NOT ME!!I wish and pray Sean Patrick Flanery will once again come back at some time on Y&R as Sam!!I know he wants to return!!He said his time on the show made his mom treat him like he was a rock-star!!I thought that was so cute!!Please bring back Sam for Sharon,as the Newmans left are ALL stale OR big bullies!!I don't want to watch them anymore!!
I've been loving Chelsea lately. She's much stronger after having Connor. She doesn't let either Chloe or Adam tell her what to do, who to love or be friends with. She accepts that they don't like each other but insists the two play nice when she's around. I like it. I also like how Chelsea treats Chloe like family. I wish Chloe didn't hate Adam so much, but sometimes friends are less forgiving of the boyfriend than the girlfriend is.
Pretty Emerald
Yes Chelsea is very strong. She is a "mama bear" now. She will always put Connor first. I think that she is so sweet, kind, patient and loving with Chloe....SHE is a true friend, an amazing mother and a wonderful lady all the way around.
Pretty Emerald
I loved seeing Chelsea today! She looked gorgeous and has a billion dollar smile. So good seeing her happy. It is really sweet that she wants Chloe to be Connor's godmother.
I luv Chelsea ...but with Michael Muhney (Adam) only..they have great on screen chemistry....
Love Chelsea with MM's Adam, but he's gone. I won't abandon my girl. MCE is a chemistry magnet. I will support her in whatever pairing so long as it is a good story.
Pretty Emerald
Quote TwoOfEach: Love Chelsea with MM's Adam, but he's gone. I won't abandon my girl. MCE is a chemistry magnet. I will support her in whatever pairing so long as it is a good story.
AMEN! MCE is wonderful with any pairing....she rocks! Excellent actress.
Pretty Emerald
Well, I am worried about Chelsea and Connor once Adam goes to prison or is killed. No doubt nasty Victor will probably try to get his old crusty hands on the baby. I hope that Chelsea will continue to be strong. Team Chelsea!

Jack "Calico Jack" Rackham
Dec. 21, 1682, Jamaica
Nov. 17, 1720
Pirate. Famous for his romance with female pirate Anne Bonney. Called "Calico Jack" after the calico-patterned clothing he favored. Spent four years in the West Indies involved in piracy, having onboard Bonney (disguised as a man), and eventually bringing onboard a pirate whom, to Bonney's surprise, turned out to be another female named Mary Read, begining a famous affair between the two, much to Jack's chagrin. He was captured in battle, reportedly an easy victory as the only real fighters on board were the women; the rest of the crew, including Rackham, were in the hold drunk. He was tried, convicted, and hanged in St. Jago De La Vega, Jamaica. After the sentence was read, Anne reportedly said to her former lover "If you had fought like a man, you need not have died like a dog!" Whether or not his body was buried in Port Royal (now underwater), or simply dumped at sea is unknown.

The Canucks have been in a lot of low-scoring games lately, but this one felt different. Prior games have been snoozefests — actually, scratch that. A snoozefest sounds amazing. Think about it: an entire festival dedicated to sleeping? That's a yes. Sleep is fantastic. Snoozefest is the wrong word. But the prior games have been mundane.
This one wasn't. The Canucks dominated the Coyotes for the majority of the night, peppering Mike Smith like he was a Caesar salad and they were the waiter at an Olive Garden. With a lesser goaltender in the opposition end, this might have been a blowout. But Smith kept the Coyotes close. By the end of the night, Phoenix had come to rely on him so thoroughly that, when he left the goal for the extra attacker, they got confused and scared and scored on themselves. Related: I watched this game.
Oh my god, so glad you caught the Kassian exuberance after the own goal. I fracken just about fell off my couch laughing so hard. He was soooooo excited, like he just won the lottery. Higgins and the Sedins just looked at him like he was an idiot. Sooooo funny.
Love what Kass brings to this team, it's been needed for a LONGGGG time. Ray Ferarro said it best "Kassian is known around these part as a free spirit". Lol. Definitely.
It WAS awesome seeing Kassian so happy and slapping butts. He is a breath of fresh air, a free spirit, and that is good for this team. Also, he is unpredictable on the ice. Who would have expected him to hold onto that puck for so long, causing all kind of chaos for the Coyotes? Totally put them out of position!
Derek Roy had another impressive night as a Canucks. I'm not sure how his face-off numbers were, though. If anyone has that info, it'd be appreciated.
Speaking of him, has anyone found video that shows a good angle of the sick move he made on that powerplay in the 3rd period to get away from one of the Phoenix defenders (who I can't recall the name of)?
Did you notice, the Canucks now have two shorthanded goals, both with an empty net (and in consecutive games)? I have a feeling they get penalized on purpose just to score some shorthanded goals. They are tricking the opposition into believing they have higher numbers, while really making it easier to score some empty-netters.
And with the six on three the opponents were tricked so well that they even did the empty-net scoring for the Canucks.
I like how well we can roll three lines that can be dangerous, although I'd rather see Sestito over Ebbett on the fourth to bang more bodies.
I also like how we were carrying the play and we didn't turtle down until the final four minutes, as opposed to the entire third period.
Good things to come!
looking good, as good as one can look playing hockey vs the yotes. that's getting close to a full lineup. the defence even managed to survive without tanev. i wasn't sure how that was going to go but it went well. good ol' alberts is pretty solid for a guy who sits and sits.
but mostly i just got this feeling like they weren't going to choke. even with the late pp against and the night-long taunting of the 1-0 gods the old pulse stayed pretty even. never doubted the win and was more concerned to see whether it would be henrik or higgins for the empty netter.
just a feeling…felt through a tv set…but it's better than not feeling it.
Schneider is rocketing up to the top of the goalie stats ranking, just like last season. Not counting Anderson, who's only got 16 starts, Corey tied for 1st with a .928 SV%.
He won't be to match his amazing .937 SV% from last season … but that was also one of the best statistical years for a goalie in the history of the league.
Hopefully, though, he'll be able to better his .960 SV% in the playoffs.
Hard to believe that the prevailing view on PITB not that long ago was that Luongo was the better choice, and that Schneider was too unproven to be a #1.
I don't know that I ever said Luongo was the better choice. We were defending him from criticisms we found absurd. And we never said Schneider was too unproven to be a no. 1 — just that it was risky to give a guy the number one job based on such a small sample.
All that said, Schneider's been amazing and he's definitely exceeded my expectations during this stretch. I'll rain on his parade a little and say that the defence during much of this run, Calgary excluded, has been very good — good enough to make almost any goalie look spiffy. But he's been lights out nonetheless.
Come on…. you guys are big Luongo fans, it is your main biased point and I would say the only real weakness of the blog. We get it, Luongo is a great guy, and a great goalie, but Schneider is more poised. He isn't going to say non-professional stuff to the media that the opposition can feed off of… the problem is that your defence of Luongo comes off as anti-Schneider….
The problem with Canucks fans regarding this issue is that they have this either/or mentality.
Here's all we've been saying: Roberto Luongo is a fabulous goalie. He's the best goalie the Canucks have ever had, and all the bitterness and grumbling he draws from Canuck fans is a byproduct of his having been here for losses in big games they wouldn't have been in without him.
The same will happen to Schneider, the fans will get on him and demand the next guy, and if it's merited, we'll defend him. That doesn't mean we hate the next guy any more than our defence of Luongo means we're anti-Schneider. It just means the public opinion is silly. That's been our stance all along, and the idea that not being anti-Luongo means we're anti-Schneider is absurd.
that's okay. everyone has personal favourites. let's just say that if the canuck lineup were a democratic process the pitb basement would be full of old "vote for Lou" election signs. they'd be leaning up next to the "vote for booth" and "say 'no' to Coho" signs.
nothing wrong with that… but you gotta own it:)
You guys have admitted to overcompensating in an effort to combat overstated opinions, though. I don't think you guys are anti-Schneider, but I do agree that you have damned him with faint praise a number of times, including when he outplayed Luongo last season. The Canucks have never developed a goalie prospect in house that's anywhere close to this good — it's something to be excited about.
PITB also has a number of newish-to-hockey readers, and I agree with AKidd that the opinions expressed here (including on the issues he highlights) do seem to have swayed an awful lot of them.
It definitely shouldn't be an either/or thing, you're certainly right on that. I think the vociferousness of Canuck fans flows both ways, too (HFBoards turned, on a whole, solidly "pro-Luongo" in the first half of the season, and has swung back the other way now. And a lot of morons do see it as "for one = against the other").
Schneider is definitely worth getting excited about. I'm especially impressed with his economy of movement: his positioning is so sound and he rarely overplays a shot. Personally, I think he's played himself into Vezina consideration. It'll be interesting to see how voters weigh his performance against someone like Craig Anderson, who has better statistics but was injured for much of the season and has far fewer starts. That's probably worth a post sometime this week.
But how much need has there been for us to write pro-Schneider posts? How often has it been necessary to defend him from his detractors? We've been pretty clear about Luongo needing to be traded, though we've certainly wondered aloud if trading Schneider might be the better option, just because he has more value in the trade market. I mean, it's not going to happen and we expect Schneider to be the number one in Vancouver for a long, long time and, hopefully, break some of the franchise records that Luongo has set.
It's just frustrating that us pointing out that the best goaltender in franchise history is, y'know, good, gets somehow spun as us saying that the potential best goaltender in franchise history is bad.
really? well maybe you didn't officially back Lou but if you count the pitb articles last season where "Luongo" was in the title and those with "Schneider" there's a huge disparity( i didn't actually count but….) schneider was having a SPECTACULAR season and you guys basically didn't say 'boo'. didn't even mention his gaudy numbers for months. You could've defended Lou AND given schneider his due but you didn't.
and that's perfectly fine.
and let's not pretend there wasn't a lot on the line last year. it wasn't 'linden or naslund' it was 'one of these goalies will be number one and the other will be traded'. let's be honest, people took sides. how could they not? canuck fans are pretty impassioned and future goaltending is a big deal.
so it really is fine. and it's fine to support schneider now too. it really is 'all good 'and perfectly normal behaviour for sports fans. just don't pretend you didn't.
Well, at least the Canucks played pretty well. Until very recently it was they who weren't getting shots or opportunities.
I am a bit surprised how well Kesler played given the circumstances (he's still a major knob, though).
And, wow…Roy is pretty slick. He is, of course, playing for a contract. With that kind of skill, he is a bit of a waste at 3rd line center though he can't win a face-off battle (game %age) to save his life.
Schneider was Schneider. The team plays with so much more confidence when he is net (and have played for 2 years prior). .931 on the way.
Injuries weren't the only thing that cost the team a Cup in 2011 – it was the brain-trust (so-called) for keeping Luongo in in Boston.
Phoenix – bad team, great goalie…boring hockey.
But, not to be too optimistic, hard to judge the Canucks too much on that game. The Canucks major issues are at the back end under an aggressive forecheck. Phoenix doesn't forecheck (okay, 1 man).
As I always try to be objective, we (game-watchers) are seeing some good things from the on-ice team.
Oh, as I speculated, McGrattan was more than a little injured by the (dirty) Weise hit. Don't expect him to play April 10.
First of all, he delayed 1 second or so.
Secondly, (have to say it): "Never played, eh." Done it myself and had it done to me, too.
Finally, I will take back the 'assessment' if I can see another replay or two, if wrong. Until I do, that's what I saw, so that's what I say.
Sigh…(for two reasons)…
First, my initial, detailed response has been suspended in the ether for eternity (info. is never lost – L. Susskind). And, it is my fault because I forgot to 'copy' prior to submitting given the server issues.
Second, I am shocked that this basic hockey concept is apparently beyond your comprehension of the game.
To assist you, let me change the verbage as you seem to be hung-up semantically on 'delay'.
If I had said, "Timed his hit for maximum effect." does the clear things up for you? Does it make my hockey knowledge (learned in minor hockey) more plausible/comprehensible?
Sorry, it is clear (to me) that you have never played organized hockey and most certainly not at any competitive level.
This is so basic.
If you would like me to educate you on the details, I will.
I hope have not been impolite in my response.
"Tom 1040 was right, I didn't play the game. How could he know? Is it that obvious? I'll just say his observation is asinine. I don't need to recognize that his comment may have merit or that actually playing the game may provide insights or perspectives not apparent to me. And, I have John in Marpole to agree with me though he never played the game either." – Harry
It's just plain flawed logic. If I told someone who had never played soccer that the best way to kick a soccer ball was to use the side of your ankle and he argued that I was wrong, it would be ridiculous for me to say that I was right because I played the game and he didn't.
I don't have any stake in this discussion. It's entirely possible you're right and that he somehow knew that McGrattan was about to put himself in a vulnerable position and timed his hit just right. For fun, I went back and looked at the hit. Weise doesn't seem to pause or delay at all from what I can see, but stops taking strides (like any player does in avoiding a charging call) and hits him at the only time he could have hit him: when their paths met. It's a big check, to be sure, but there's no indication that he changed his approach in anticipation of McGrattan clearing the puck. To me, the real reason that the hit is so devastating is because McGrattan is a complete plug with no clue what's happening around him. A better player never would have reached for the puck to put himself in that position, which makes it seem completely ridiculous that Weise would anticipate him doing just that.
First, I fail to see the relevance of your soccer example. What you describe is not a basic concept of soccer, it is indeed – ridiculous (kicking a ball with your ankle, please).
He didn't pause he just stopped taking strides? What's the difference? And, like I said, he delayed the timing of his hit for when McGrattan was most vulnerable.
Thank you for that information – indeed he did delay.
As for avoiding a charging penalty (sorry, gotta say it): you never played organized competitive hockey either. I can tell by that comment alone. I honestly mean no offense because there are many ways to avoid a charging penalty and often you take it anyway.
But let me say this. Apparently you play/played soccer, correct? Hence, I would not deny your comment or call asinine any observation you would make on a soccer play or tactic or strategy based on your playing experience, especially when it is such an essential/basic part of a sport.
Next, back to the hit itself, did he stop striding just before the hit or about ten feet back? I think the latter. Hence, he timed it beautifully – for maximum effect.
Here are the details:
1. there are two areas on the ice where, particularly along the boards, players are very vulnerable: a) 10 feet or so before the blueline and center ice. Why? Because a player's first responsibility is to clear the puck from their zone, or gain the red line to avoid icing the puck. We always used to look to those areas and in those situations to lay a beating on someone. You can also include stancions (sic?) in this discussion.
2. Hitting is an art unless one is a behemoth suck like Boogard was. In other words, timing is everything. The best hit is the best timed hit. For example, Pinnizotto's first game and shift was a hit on the Nashville D-man. Same kind of timing yet open ice. He even stated as much post-game as I recall.
3. The best timed hit is when the 'hittee' is most vulnerable. When is that? Well, blind-side hits have been banned, right? Why? Because players can't protect themselves just like they can't when they have just shot the puck or are in extension. Very vulnerable. We learned this early and no one had to teach it. It was clear from playing the game and seeing and doing so many times over many games over many years. Go back (sorry) and look at the Moore hit on Naslund – exact same concept and similar context.
4. McGrattan is a 4th line goon. If he doesn't get the puck out of his zone he knows he will ride the pine and remember he spent most of the year in the minors. He knows the consequences.
5. Weise knows this too, and aggression is his livelihood. He has the opportunity to lay a big hit on an opposing goon that is taking liberties on his teammates. In fact, if he doesn't hit with maximum effect he is not as valuable to the team.
6. From the vulnerabilty, the speed and mechanism (along the boards) there is a high probability of injury and there was. Go back to my game night comment. I said McGrattan is more than a little injured and would be out extended even before announcements. It is/was that obvious.
7. McGrattan may not have seen Weise but that does not mean a skilled player would not put himself in that position – as mentioned – look at Naslund and there are many more. Often, those kind of hits are not done to skilled players because of the code, and there usually suspensions. Unless it is playoffs – which, as stated, make Weise valuable.
I apologize for this lengthy response though I have tried to be brief and I could comment more.
I know you are supporting your friend, which is a noble thing to do. My observation is not asinine, in fact, it is more than plausible, it is likely.
I'm glad to see Kesler back, and a goal from him too! I never thought we'd nurse that 1-0 lead to the end but Mike Smith was good (though I'm really getting tired of his shennanigans). I was trying not to feel sorry for the Coyotes but when they scored the own-goal I did a little. Looking forward to seeing more good play on the upcoming road trip.
Left in the frame twelve thirty-four
When Kesler is the first to score
(Beiksa flubs a blue line shot
Which somehow Mason Raymond got
Across the crease and off the post
Where Kess converts MayRay's almost)
Two pucks into the Phoenix net
But they've not scored their second yet
(As on the first the whistle blew
Before fourteen could poke it through
And then the next was soccered in
By double threes the elder twin)
With not much left Kess gets the gate
But two's the one who's scoring late
(Then Garrison draws a hooking call
But six on three no shots at all
And while Smith was quite the story
Tonight's win belongs to Cory)
This goal would make an awesome Breakdowning.
1. 3-on-1, Kassian waits and waits
2. 3-on-5
3. Chaos descends as everyone waits for Kassian's pass.
4. Kassian feeds Bieksa for a fanned shot.
5. MayRay Post
6. Kessler shovels it into the net from 12 inches.
Please unleash the irony of breakdowning it.

Leaflet - Order of Service, Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, 1924-1925 Reg. No: HT 8399
- Summary:
- Order of Service for the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, dated 1924-1925. On 12 September 1841 the first organized Jewish congregation in Melbourne was established. In April 1844 they obtained a grant of an half acre site of land at what is now 472 Bourke Street, on which to erect a Synagogue. By 1847 a small building for use as a Synagogue, seating 100, was erected on the rear of the site.
The Melbourne Hebrew Congregation was modelled on the religious traditions of the Great Synagogue, Dukes Place Aldgate in London, this influence increased following the migration of some 300 Jewish families from London and the Posen district of Prussia between 1852 and 1855. The flourishing Jewish community needed a new and grander Synagogue. Plans were made to erect a Synagogue on the Bourke Street site to seat 650 people. The foundation stone was laid by David Benjamin in March 1855. In 1927 the building was sold to Equity Trustees and in 1930 the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation moved to the new Melbourne Synagogue in Toorak Road, South Yarra.

I apologize please disregard my original posting as I have an error in my post which shoud read:
I'm sure Progressive as a company will rebound as it always has.
I can only hope, however, it does not move to resolve this issue through employee layoffs to reach their profitability goals. Taking that path of the past offers no guarantees to that end and only tarnishes their image in the community and beyond.

Any sane common sense thinking person would take Romney to task over his "Repeal Obamacare" rantings. I think his ears are clogged? The Supreme Court just ruled otherwise.
Why does he still continue to say his "Romneycare" was good, right, and works well in Massachusetts, but "Obamacare" which even Republicans have said was modeled after "Romneycare," is absolute trash, no good, etc etc. ??
Come on, are you saying that only people living in Massachusetts are worthwhile enough Americans to be allowed to have a guaranteed health insurance program, but the rest of us living in the other 49 states are not?
And, as with all Republicans, where is Romney's replacement plan details? Why, he doesn't even have a proper name for his replacement plan from what I can see. He sure can't call it Romneycare now can he!?
Yes, Mitt showed up. So does that make him on the side of those people in that room? Hardly. His desperation is showing that's all. It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.
"Lastly, it will require Washington to repeal and replace the president's health care spending law with patient-centered health care that actually lowers costs."
Senator Portman, could you so kindly expound on this statement to include what steps you would take to bring in more uninsured people who wish to have health insurance but have not been able to get it in the private market?
As you know the Ohio High Risk Pool administered by Medical Mutual of Ohio is a direct result of the enactment of the Affordable Care Act of 2010. If it were not for the Ohio High Risk Pool I would have had to stay uninsured since June of 2010 until I reach Medicare Age in January of 2013 if I was unable to obtain health insurance through an employer. There are many people working at jobs that do not offer health insurance, and I'm sure you are aware of that fact too.
I feel it has been reprehensible that the private insurance industry has been permitted to outright deny people health insurance because they have pre-existing health conditions; which may or may not be life threatening. Certainly, not all uninsured people caused their own pre-existing conditions. Being human and aging can do that to us throughout our lives.
I worked for 42 years of my life, the last 26 of which was for Progressive Insurance's headquarters here near Cleveland. Like with so many employers, when I was laid off at age 60, Progressive only offered federal COBRA which ends in 18 months. At that point, a person is on their own and had better be able to come up with health insurance some way or they will be 'mandated', if you will, to be uninsured. It can and does happen. I know because it happened to me. People cannot wait years until they reach age 65 to be guaranteed health insurance. People are people and you shouldn't have to 'fit into some kind of acceptable category' in order to have health insurance in America today.
I am indeed saddened to see how some people who could obtain health insurance and afford the premiums are saying they will stay uninsured to make a point that they do not wish to be 'mandated' to obtain it.
I just wish it was an option for me to enroll in a good private plan, but it wasn't. When you have been rejected for coverage by four insurers like Aetna, Celtic, Medical Mutual, and United Healthcare, you realize that you just won't be able to obtain affordable health insurance that isn't an outright scam. I have been directed to signing on with scam outfits when a health insurance agent exhausted all of my possible options. It wasn't worth my money, but the agent would still make the commission if I enrolled. How sad is that.
So, please Senator Portman, we need more details about your plan that adequately replaces the Affordable Care Act. The status quo didn't work.
Lastly, I extend my personal thank you for your being among the few who write in a respectful manner. It is refreshing and appreciated. I wish more columnists and reporters would follow your lead. Thank you.
Taking a moment to look at the facts of the 'free market' and how it can impact consumer choice of health insurance options available to the uninsured in Ohio, let's examine the details of the private insurance plans the Ohio Department of Insurance promotes as their ongoing option for the uninsured to obtain health insurance which covers their pre-existing conditions.
You can do this yourself by logging onto the "Open-Enrollment Carrier List" last updated January 12, 2012 and click on the websites of each of the private insurers.
You can do 'mock quotes' based on your own situation (age, etc.) and learn for yourself what your rates would be on those plans that continue to be promoted by the O.D.I. as options for the uninsured to have health insurance that will cover their pre-existing conditions (if applied for within 63 days after losing 18 months of creditable coverage such as federal COBRA) and could not obtain health insurance any other way:
Directly from the O.D.I. website:
Especially, if you are over age 55, you will see some extremely high monthly premiums that can reach into well over $1,000 per month.
I was once told by someone at the Ohio Department of Insurance "We didn't say "Open-Enrollment" rates are affordable for everyone." That person was certainly correct.
I can only hope Ms. Taylor's replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act, that I know she terms as "Obamacare," is a big improvement over "Open-Enrollment" private health insurance plans.
Otherwise, Ohio hasn't made any strides forward to resolve the plaguing issue of reducing the numbers of uninsured people who live within its borders.
Think about it though, the die-hards against "Obamacare" apparently also are on-board with those who did not want the mandate because it takes away freedoms.
However, those who can afford health insurance and would not be rejected for it, but who choose not to obtain health insurance are going to be in one word - uninsured. They are as uninsured as those who either are not able to obtain it due to having pre-existing conditions or those who cannot afford the premiums every month but do not qualify for Medicaid.
All these people are in one word, uninsured. So, if it is the fault of the uninsured for driving up insurance costs, then it is also the fault of the uninsured who choose to be uninsured because they do not wish to be mandated to be insured!!!
Folks, you can't have it both ways. You are either for people being insured or not. You can't blame the uninsured who don't want to be but were left with no other choice; I'm sure most would gladly trade places with healthier people who would not be rejected in the private market and who also had the resources to pay for the monthly premiums. They are the ones who are knowingly taking a risk that if they get into a serious health situation they just might not have the resources to pay all of their bills.
One last thought, obviously, not all pre-existing health conditions are the result of unhealthy lifestyles; thus to promote that to be so is totally absurd. A little thing in your life comes along we call aging that changes your health as well and with it comes the unthinkable -- death which is not preventable nor cheap.
How about we quit splitting hairs over definitions and just call the tax/penalty a fine; like how you are fined for not complying with a law. Where the money goes after you pay it; only the government knows!!!!
The Ohio High Risk Pool is the 'bridge to 2014' for those people who have been uninsured for six months and can submit two rejection letters from health insurers, and meet other requirements such as residency. See their website for complete details.
These uninsured Ohioans can apply for health insurance coverage through the Ohio High Risk Pool administered by Medical Mutual.
See the website link below.
Passed in 2010 when Gov. Strickland was Ohio's governor, Ohio opted to run their own high risk pool rather than have HHS come in and do it for the state (please note: Ohio did not and still does not have a 'state run high risk pool' like California which was in place prior to the ACA being passed and implemented. )
It is important to understand that the state of Ohio had one program in place that still exits for those who are uninsured and could not find health insurance any other way, and it is known as "Open-Enrollment". A person does not need to be uninsured for six months (as with the Ohio High Risk Pool plans) however, they must apply within 63 days of losing COBRA coverage, for example, for their pre-existing conditions to be covered. Please refer to the Ohio Department of Insurance for all of the details about "Open-Enrollment" plans and read the details.

Next, compare the coverage and costs to participate in the ONLY program the State of Ohio offered (and still offers) to those who are uninsured and cannot obtain health care insurance that covers their pre-existing conditions -- an extremely expensive health insurance program called "Open-Enrollment" – by logging on to the ODI website and clicking on the link below to see a list of the carriers in the state of Ohio who offer "Open-Enrollment" health insurance coverage plans:

Please use the above link in order to see a PDF of ALL of the carriers and their contact information with links to their websites where you can also research their current plans including monthly premiums.
So, please do the research yourself. Do we want to only have these "Open-Enrollment" plans as the ONLY health insurance coverage option for the uninsured in Ohio if the Ohio High Risk Pool and the health care exchanges in 2014 were to cease and/or to be struck down?
For my age group of people over 55, my monthly rates ranged from $800 to $2,100 (in June of 2010) per month in one of the "Open-Enrollment" insurance plans that offer varying degrees of deductibles, etc. Such monthly rates were and would still be unaffordable for me, and I am sure for most unemployed people seeking health insurance.
Currently, on the Ohio High Risk Pool, for my age, living in Cuyahoga County as a non-smoker, my monthly contributions (as they are called by Medical Mutual who administers the Ohio High Risk Pool) are $428.00 per month for the $2,500 deductible plan, or if I chose the $1,500 deductible plan, I would be paying $512.00 per month.
Ultimately, the uninsured consumer has to consider their household budgets when they embark on enrolling in health insurance plans that are affordable for them, cover their pre-existing conditions, and that are worth the premium costs they will be asked to pay each month.
If the consumers don't protect themselves, no one is going to do it for them.
If people want choices, they need to be informed so they don't make the wrong ones -- the uninsured have had very limited choices after being rejected in the private market. That is very important to keep in mind.
To think on the flip slide, where people who could afford health care insurance in the private market (check out ehealthinsurance.com) and would be or have been accepted in a private plan, yet reject it, is a person who is biting off their nose to spite their face to try to a point in my opinion.
Read from the HHS website for the state of Ohio.
For anyone who has been uninsured for six months or longer and has been rejected for total coverage by two or more private insurers in the state of Ohio, please log onto:

In reply to Sharyl129:
One of the stipulations for joining the Ohio High Risk Pool, of which I have been enrolled in since December 2010, is having been uninsured for six months. It does not matter if a person is enrolled in a state where their high risk pool (from the passage of the Affordable Care Act) is run through HHS or through their state, the wait is six months being uninsured for that period of time. You can check it out on the website: www.ohiohighriskpool.com.
God bless Chief Justice Roberts for making the best decision for Americans who need and want to have health insurance so they can have better health care and health care choices. If the law were to be struck down tomorrow, I would have lost my Ohio High Risk Pool insurance, so I can breathe a sigh of relief that I don't have to be 'mandated' to be uninsured because my only option for health insurance was taken away.
If America could stop the practice of allowing insurance companies the ability to outright reject people for health insurance coverage; which to me, is 'mandating' that someone NOT obtain health insurance, then so much of this problem of Americans being uninsured could be resolved.
As is stands, we must wait until January of 2014 for this discriminatory practice to be abolished if the Affordable Care Act is allowed to remain in place as it is.
In the meantime, we can't have it both ways -- take away the ability for people to be insured and then complain when we hear that people are uninsured and driving up costs.
Where is the 'freedom or liberty' in being told because you have pre-existing health conditions like sinusitis or macular degeneration, or because you need to take an expensive medication, that as a result of these facts of life you will be completely rejected for any health insurance coverage in the private market? I call it inhumane discrimination against individual Americans.
It does not matter what your age is; you are a human being who can get sick for one reason or another during the course of your lifetime. To think you never will is totally unrealistic. No one can predict when they will have an accident or get a heart attack.
And, to say that healthy young people don't really need insurance and will wait until they get sick to get insurance doesn't work out that way at all. Once they present an illness to a potential insurer, the truth will cause them to be rejected by that insurer for health insurance coverage. To lie about your health record on an insurance application is fraud and you are subject to the applicable penalties that are stated on that application.
Just listening to what the politicians tell you won't give you the whole story. Until you have been rejected for health insurance in the private market, you don't know first-hand from experience what it is like to live uninsured when you don't want to; but are forced to unless or until you have a guaranteed option in place for yourself like an employer-sponsored plan, a spouse's plan, Medicare or Medicaid.
That's where the Affordable Care Act's impact has made a difference; it provides an option to those who couldn't obtain a health insurance policy any other way; by enrolling in the high risk pools which are the bridge to 2014 when the health insurance exchanges start and no one can be rejected for health insurance coverage due to having pre-existing health conditions.
Ohio did not run its own high risk pool as did many other states, but now because of the Affordable Care Act it does.
Check out: ohiohighriskpool.com for further information about this health insurance option for the uninsured that would not exist if it were not for the enactment of the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
Hi Leon the Lion,
Yes ehealthinsurance.com is a wonderful website, and one I have used often; especially when I lost my COBRA coverage back in 2010, and my next step was to apply for private health insurance coverage through the private insurance market.
I applied at carriers such as Medical Mutual, Anthem, Celtic, and Aetna via Ehealthinsurance -- as I say I think it is a great online resource offering legitimate health insurance (not scams like Corevalue and their like),
HOWEVER, due to my having some pre-existing health conditions like sinusitus, rotator cuff syndrome (I was due to have surgery for it two weeks prior to my COBRA running out), the fact I had just consulted about having the surgery, I was rejected by all of the private insurers who cited these conditions; and thus I could not obtain health insurance coverage through them. You have to be truthful with your answers or you could be convicted of fraud, by the way.
In fact I went through the whole application process twice with each carrier during 2010. It wasn't until the ACA was implemented did I learn that your rejection letter, which you need to submit to prove you had been turned down for coverage in the private insurance market and were not able to obtain health insurance through the private carriers, that your rejection letters needed to be dated within 6 months of your application. Most of my letters were dated 7 or 8 months prior to my eligibility date; which was December of 2010.
My one complaint of the framework of the ACA is its mandatory (speaking of mandates which is a popular topic these days) six month wait that a potential enrollee in the Ohio High Risk Pool (created because of the ACA) must have as an uninsured person. I was told that this was set up this way so people would not all at once 'jump ship' from their private insurers. I believe, and you can check it out, that Republicans favored the idea of making people put in the six months of being uninsured, if they weren't already, in order to qualify for acceptance into the Ohio High Risk Pool (and all of the other federal high risk pools, whether administered by the state or through HHS).
Before the ACA was passed and implemented, several states (about 27) were running their own high risk pools; however, Ohio was not one of them.
As I've mentioned earlier, for those who lost employer-sponsored plans, and who could not obtain health insurance any other way (no COBRA, spouse plan, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.) the only option was to enroll in the "Open - Enrollment" Plans where you and your pre-existing conditions would be accepted and covered (apply for coverage within a 63 day window after losing 18 months of creditable health insurance coverage.)
Here is a link to those "Open-Enrollment" Plans on the ODI website (as of January of 2012):
Pick any carrier you want, do a mock quote for your sex and other requested criteria and see what your "Open-Enrollment" monthly premium costs would be if you were to enroll in one of these plans.
As an example. For my age, sex, non-smoker, living in the Cleveland area, for Medical Mutual (who by co-incidence also administers the Ohio High Risk Pool under the ACA) for Medical Mutual's "Open-Enrollment" plans for me (as of January, 2012),
For their Basic plan (both FEI and non-FEI): My monthly premium cost would be $1,048.62; and for their Traditional plan, my monthly premium cost would be $1,250.23.
And here is a link to that quote as well for my documentation, and hopefully it will show up correctly here:
Traditional Basic ($1,048.62)
Traditional Standard ($1,250.23)
To sum up, Ehealthinsurance.com is a great site; and your determination for coverage 'letter' in many cases, will be sent to you via email from Ehealthinsurance.com itself.
However, Ehealthinsurance.com certainly cannot guarantee any of the private health insurers listed on their website will, in fact, offer you coverage. Only the insurers themselves can do that after you apply via their on-line application forms, which are on average 8 to 12 pages long.
It is so sad to realize that these "Open-Enrollment" plans were all Ohio had to offer those who needed health insurance and could not obtain it any other way but to enroll in these plans to still have their pre-existing health conditions covered; or understand that the reality is they would have to return to being an uninsured person.
I will be praying you never lose your health insurance; or need and want health insurance, but are not able to get it because you are rejected due to having pre-existing conditions. Be careful what you wish or vote for as you just might get it!
To the best of my knowledge most catastrophic health insurance plans (those I have checked in to during the past two years) do NOT honor and extend coverage for pre-existing conditions.
I worked for 42 years at various employers before my lay-off at age 60, and I'm quite sure some of my premiums I paid during those years helped with paying for those who were uninsured. I didn't lose sleep over it, I was just glad to have the insurance coverage and the job to be able to pay the premiums which were never higher than $99 a month for the health insurance part of the plan.
But, you simply can't have it both ways - complaining about how the uninsured are driving up the costs for those who have health insurance, yet purposely take away their only affordable option for health insurance -- which in Ohio is the Ohio High Risk Pool (created under the Affordable Care Act) which is in effect right now.
I paid $575 per month last year for a $1,500 deductible plan under the Ohio High Risk Pool (enrolled after the six months of being uninsured which is a stipulation for acceptance in the plan), and this year I am paying $428 per month for a $2,500 deductible plan. Both have $50 co-pays at specialists and $30 co-pays at primary care. $575 or $428 are still more affordable than the "Open-Enrollment" plans and their monthly premiums.
The Ohio Risk Pool will sunset in 2014 if the insurance exchanges become effective when adults can no longer be rejected for coverage due to having pre-existing condtions which could be for health issues like sinusitus, consulting for a surgery not yet peformed, or taking expensive medication like Celebrex.
I think many people don't realize that there is a lot elements of the Affordable Care Act already operative and in place now helping more people to have access to health insurance and therefore, better health care options, AND above all they are no longer among the ranks of the uninsured. Not everyone who is uninsured wants to be uninsured. Not everyone is able to work or be hired even if they have tried to get work. If that weren't true, there would be perpetual zero percent unemployment in America.
I have a challenge I'd like to issue to Mr. Romney.
I 'get it' that you would repeal the Affordable Care Act (called Obamacare by those against it) on 'day one of your presidency' but I'd like to hear the name and specific details of your health care insurance plan for America to replace it. You are the 'architect' of the health care laws in Massachusetts that your detractors like to call "Romneycare" and that "Obamacare" was modeled after it. However, and correct me if I'm wrong, you don't think "Obamacare" is right for the rest of America. But, you never state exactly the reasons for saying that. If the Affordable Care Act is repealed and nothing replaces it that prevents private insurers from denying people insurance coverage, then the number of those who are uninsured in America will rise.
Do you know, Mr. Romney, that in Ohio (since you're writing specifically about Ohio here -- I know you focused on the economy and jobs -- but there is more to living a better life isn't there. Health is Wealth.) before the ACA was passed in March of 2010, if you lost your job and after your COBRA ended in 18 months, AND further if you were turned down in the private insurance market for health insurance coverage because you have pre-existing conditions -- which don't necesarily have to be life-threatening -- AND you could not get health insurance any other way, the only option left in Ohio is a program called "Open-enrollment" (check it out on the ODI website!) and for people age 55 and older the monthly premiums are the highest.
"Open-enrollment" plans will cover pre-existing conditions if you apply within 63 days of losing your COBRA coverage. The big catch to these plans are the costs. The monthly premiums for someone in my age range was $800 to $2,100 premiums to pay every month with $1,000 deductibles. Not exactly affordable plans I would say. The Ohio Department of Insurance is still offering and promoting these plans that most cannot afford; especially someone not working or on a low wage. Were you aware of Ohio's Open-Enrollment Plans, Mr. Romney? I suppose not. It is sad that you want to take away the Affordable Care Act and not offer us anything better to replace it. Not everyone has an employer-sponsored health plan, nor is on Medicare or Medicaid. Please keep that fact in mind.
This is my challenge to you, Mr. Romeny, to first be up front and tell us your replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act, and explain in detail how it is going to work better, and that it will help those who need health insurance.
As long as the private insurers are still allowed to deny health insurance coverage to adults in America today, people are left with no viable chioce but to be uninsured even if they want to be insured and have comparable health insurance like those who have employer-sponsored plans.
Many monument dealers place little plaques with their name and information on the rear of the stones they sell. I've seen some old white marble stones with inscriptions at the bottom on either the front or rear with the name of the monument company and the city it operated from. So, advertising in one form or another has been going on when it comes to grave markers. It also though is a way to tell us (especially on the older ones) who the maker was of the stone which may or may not now be out of business.
To JulioFranco, please share also with us the name of your new website when you can. I'm sure many readers will have an interest in it. I'm sure we can "Google" The Wendish Research Exchange and locate it.
You bring up another dimension here and that is needing foreign language gravestone inscriptions interpreted and translated into English. I have a cemetery preservation in Ohio blog and have recently been asked to post pictures of gravestones inscribed in Hungarian. The stones are older and the inscriptions are becoming so faint that it is much more challenging to see all of the words on the stone.
Wireless.phil does have some good points to ponder as well. Some people are more cautious about sharing information so publicly and I can understand that aspect; although unfortunately the internet has done that for us with Social Security numbers being made public for all to see and indexed online as they have been.
Yes, speaking to relatives now who can remember and are willing to share their life stories is the key. Once they are gone, and their information wasn't recorded in one form or another, the opportunity to obtain it first-hand just may be gone for good.
I feel an even more efficient idea might be to have this code placed next to the deceased's name on the cemetery records at the cemetery's office in their computer and also stored on back up media;even on hard copies.
Also, some dearly departed still simply do not have gravestones for one reason or another.
As we know, those of us who frequently visit older even inactive and abandoned cemeteries, gravestones -- no matter what their size or composition may be -- are 'sitting ducks' to such elements as the passage of time, ill effects of severe weather, varying degrees of vandalism; and don't forget the ravages of insects and pollution -- yes even on modern granite.
Unfortunately, also, the way technology can change over time, will there be a device to read these codes in say 50 to 100 years? We can only hope so.
The $300 (in today's estimations) will mean only those who can afford that extra amount will be able to purchase this extra option for their loves one's marker. If you can't afford it, please consider these options:
Make an 'information donation' about your ancestor to your local library or to the Ohio Genealogical Society if your ancestor has Ohio roots or connections. Most genealogists who check census records know where their ancestors ended up. If all else fails, they know that most local libraries, even public ones, often have a local history room and it is a great move to add the life history of your ancestor to their collection, which hopefully will be permanent.
Don't forget to post pedigree charts and family pictures you wish to share online with Rootsweb; which is a much used free website. Or Ancestry.com where at present, even if you don't have a paid subscription, you can post some of your family's information.
And, currently there is findagrave.com which offers much for sharing 'final destination information' about the deceased with photographs and biographical information including relationship links to parents, spouse and children. It is a free website as well.
It is important to know about these advancements, and they are significant, but I feel we need to keep in mind we can only evaluate what the future will hold based on what we see in the present.
I would like to know where the cemetery and church photograph was taken? The cemetery is well kept. Many of the stones are white marble so it could date back to the 1860s or even earlier. This picture of well groomed grounds and straight standing monuments tells us this cemetery and its markers have been well cared for over the years.

In the mountain towns of Northern Italy, winter brings more than frost on the hillsides and a fire in the hearth. Two weeks after the first full moon of the new year, farmers and friends come together for the Maialata. An age-old Italian celebration of the pig – "maiale" is Italian for pork – the feast is steeped in peasant traditions in accordance with folklore and biodynamic practices. All day the community would work together to butcher and prepare the local pigs, all night they would feast on the bounty of their labor.
In honor of this tradition Nostrana Chef and Owner Cathy Whims is partnering with us to bring the Italian festival of the pig to Oregon. Friends and pork aficionados will come together to create an experience normally reserved for farmers, butchers, and Italian villagers.
Winter months afford the natural refrigeration necessary to process an entire 500 pound animal into sausages, salumi, prosciutti, steaks, ribs, behemoth roasts, and ragus. Cathy, owner Rudy Marchesi and friends invite diners to participate in the entire process: stuffing sausage and making ravioli alongside some of Portland's best chefs while enjoying hand crafted cheese, charcuterie, and wine. Once we have prepared our meal, side by side, we will then gather in the wine cellar to indulge in a multi-course feast accompanied by Montinore's wines, of course. Reservations required. Schedule to follow.

Newport News, Va. – Police say a woman and two men carjacked a sailor, then as he sat in the front seat, they stole from his bank account before leaving him on Flint Drive.
The sailor approached a woman and asked her to call for help.
"He was like shaky, and you could just tell he was physically scared," said a woman who helped him Friday night. "He was hiding behind the car and he was shaking. He was completely scared of everything."
The sailor agreed to pick the woman up on Craigslist Friday night.
She got in the passenger side, but what the sailor didn't anticipate was two men getting in the back.
Police say the two men carjacked the sailor and threaten him with a revolver.
"He said he walked past our house a few times, looking for his car, and he said they said they were going to park his car somewhere around here but couldn't find it," the woman said.
His car was found a couple blocks away on Ruston Drive.

CINCINNATI – David Kellner, 45, of Cincinnati pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud for his role in a scheme with a college friend and the friend's brother who lived in Arizona to defraud Huntington Bank in Cincinnati.
Carter M. Stewart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, Mark Porter, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Secret Service, and Norwood Police Chief William Kramer announced the plea entered today before Senior U.S. District Judge Herman J. Weber.
According to court documents, Kellner was approached in 2009 by an old college friend, Paul Jacobs, 46, of Cincinnati, who asked Kellner to cash three checks for him. Jacobs' brother, George Jacobs, 54, of Scottsdale, Arizona, had discovered an unclaimed premium return of $131,203.00 to Mainstreet Framers, Inc. for workers' compensation insurance provided through the Mahoney Group, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, for whom George Jacobs worked as a broker. George Jacobs discovered that Mainstreet Framers, Inc. had filed for bankruptcy and that there was no request to return this premium. In dire financial straits, George Jacobs enlisted the help of his brother, Paul Jacobs, a Cincinnati, Ohio attorney and together they agreed to fraudulently obtain these funds, open a fraudulent bank account in order to negotiate the check, and divert the proceeds to themselves.
The checks represented part of the proceeds from the crime. Paul Kellner was paid $1,360 for cashing the checks. He faces up to 5 years in prison for his role in the scheme. Judge Weber scheduled Kellner's sentencing for August 1, 2012.
George Jacobs pleaded guilty on February 15, 2012 and Paul Jacobs pleaded guilty on February 22, 2012 to one count of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, punishable by up to 30 years in prison. George Jacobs is scheduled for sentencing on June 5, 2012 and Paul Jacobs is scheduled for sentencing on June 13, 2012.
Stewart commended the cooperative investigation by the Secret Service and Norwood Police, as well as Senior Litigation Counsel Anne L. Porter, who is prosecuting the case.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. This disorder occurs in almost 1% of all Americans and affects women much more often than men. In its mildest form, hyperthyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms; however, in some patients, excess thyroid hormone and the resulting effects on the body can have potentially life-threatening consequences.
Hyperthyroidism can be caused by a number of things, including:
Learn More AboutHyperthyroidism (Video)
Toxic nodule - A single nodule or lump in the thyroid can produce more thyroid hormone than the body needs and lead to hyperthyroidism.
Toxic multinodular goiter - If the thyroid gland has several nodules, those nodules can sometimes produce too much thyroid hormone causing hyperthyroidism. This is most often found in patients over 50 years old. In many cases, a person may have had a multinodular goiter for several years before it starts to produce excess amounts of thyroid hormone
Graves' disease - Graves' disease is an autoimmune illness, which means that it causes the body's own immune system to attack healthy cells. It often causes the thyroid to enlarge and produce excess amounts of thyroid hormone. In some patients, swelling of the area around the eyes may occur, causing bulging eyes, discomfort, or double vision. Like other autoimmune diseases, this condition tends to run in families. It is much more common in women than in men, and tends to occur in younger patients.
Subacute thyroiditis - This type of hyperthyroidism can follow a viral infection which causes inflammation of the thyroid gland. This inflammation causes the thyroid to release excess amounts of thyroid hormone into the blood stream which leads to hyperthyroidism. As the viral illness resolves and the inflammation in the thyroid gland diminishes, the thyroid usually returns to its normal state. Because the stored thyroid hormone has been released, patients may become hypothyroid (where their thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone) for a period of time until the thyroid gland can build up new stores of thyroid hormone.
Postpartum thyroiditis - Some women develop mild to moderate hyperthyroidism within several months of giving birth, which usually lasts 1 to 2 months. This is often followed by several months of hypothyroidism. Most women recover and have normal thyroid function.
Excessive Iodine ingestion - Some sources of high iodine concentrations, such as over the counter supplements, kelp tablets, some expectorants, amiodarone (a medication used to treat certain heart rhythm problems) and x-ray dyes, may occasionally cause hyperthyroidism in certain patients. In most cases, the hyperthyroidism usually resolves when the supplement is discontinued.
Overmedication with thyroid hormone - Patients who take too much thyroid hormone replacement can also develop hyperthyroidism. They should have their thyroid hormone levels evaluated by a physician at least once each year and should NEVER give themselves "extra" doses unless directed by a physician. Changes in thyroid medication should always be guided by thyroid function testing.
When hyperthyroidism develops, patients may experience some of the following signs or symptoms:
There are signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism that can be identified by a physician. Laboratory tests can be used to confirm the diagnosis and probable cause. A primary care physician may make the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, but help may be needed from an endocrinologist, a physician who is a specialist in thyroid and other endocrine diseases.
The best test to determine overall thyroid function is the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level. TSH is produced in the brain and travels to the thyroid gland to stimulate the thyroid to produce and release more thyroid hormone. A high TSH level indicates that the body does not have enough thyroid hormone. A TSH level lower than the normal range indicates there is more than enough thyroid hormone in the body. The body stops making this pituitary hormone when the thyroid gland even slightly overproduces thyroid hormone.
If the TSH level is found to be too high or too low, other tests are usually ordered to further investigate the problem.
There are several other tests that can help a physician make their diagnosis, including: Estimates of free thyroxine (T4), and free triiodothyronine (T3). These tests determine how much active thyroid hormone is in the blood. When hyperthyroidism develops, free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine levels rise above normal. Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin is a substance often found in the blood when Graves' disease is the cause of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and other anti-thyroid antibodies are also seen in some disorders.
Currently, there are several effective treatments available to treat hyperthyroidism. Deciding which treatment is best depends on the cause of the hyperthyroidism, how severe it is, and other factors. A physician experienced in the management of thyroid disease can confidently diagnose the cause of hyperthyroidism and prescribe and manage the best approach to treatment for each patient.
In the United States, two medications are available for treating hyperthyroidism: propylthiouracil (PTU) and methimazole. They control hyperthyroidism by slowing down thyroid hormone production, and are often used for several months to bring thyroid hormone levels back to normal. Some patients with hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease can have a sudden natural remission of hyperthyroidism after 12 to 18 months of treatment with these medications and may avoid permanent hypothyroidism, which often happens as a result of other treatment methods. Unfortunately, many times this remission is only temporary.
In general, medication is not particularly successful for long-term cure of hyperthyroidism. Antithyroid medications may cause adverse reactions in about 5% of patients who use them. This usually happens during the first 6 weeks of drug treatment. Such a reaction may include rash or hives, but after stopping using the medication, the symptoms usually go away within 1 to 2 weeks.
A less common but more serious adverse effect can occur in less than 1% of patients, where there is a rapid loss of white blood cells in the bloodstream. This can increase a patient's susceptibility to illness and serious infection, by weakening the body's ability to fight off germs and other invaders. Symptoms such as sore throat, infection, or fever should be reported to your physician immediately, and a blood cell count performed. In nearly every case, when a person stops using the medication, the white blood cell count returns to normal.
Very rarely, antithyroid drugs may cause liver problems, which can be detected by monitoring blood tests or by the sudden appearance of joint pain and/or swelling. This has been associated with PTU most recently and this medication is used much less than in the past. You should call your doctor if there is yellowing of the skin (jaundice), fever, or abdominal pain.
The thyroid is one of the few glands in the body that avidly takes up iodine. By attaching a radioactive molecule to iodine, radioactive material can be selectively delivered to the cells of the thyroid gland without causing significant adverse effects to other organs in the body. Once concentrated in the thyroid gland, the radioactive labeled iodine destroys the thyroid gland. This leads to less production of thyroid hormone and thereby cures the patient of their hyperthyroidism. In general, this treatment can be used in patients with Graves' disease or in those patients with a single nodule in the thyroid gland that is causing hyperthyroidism. The treatment is given in pill form. It may take 3 to 6 months after taking the dose for the full effect to be seen. Sometimes, as in the case of an especially large goiter, a second dose may be needed.
Most patients become hypothyroid and need to take some sort of thyroid hormone replacement for the rest of their life. In others, enough of the thyroid gland function remains that they go back to having normal thyroid function and do not need supplementation.
This treatment is generally very safe and effective; however, there are indications not to use radioactive iodine for treatment of hyperthyroidism. Some goiters are too large to be effectively treated with radioactive iodine. Others, which cause compressive symptoms that are bothersome to the patient, should be removed. Treatment with RAI for toxic multinodular goiters is controversial as non-functioning nodules may be cancerous, but do not take up the radioactive iodine. These should be thoroughly investigated prior to treating with RAI.
Those women who are pregnant or desire to become pregnant within a year of treatment should not be given radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine can damage the growth of the body, brain, and thyroid of a developing fetus. Also, since small amounts of radioiodine will enter a mother's breast milk during treatment, breastfeeding is not allowed for one year after treatment with RAI. For these reasons, before any radioactive iodine is given to a woman, whether for treatment or for a scan, it is mandatory to take a pregnancy test whenever pregnancy is possible.
There are other reasons radioactive iodine should not be used in certain circumstances, and your physician will discuss the appropriate treatment options with you.

Removal of the thyroid gland is one of the three options for treatment of hyperthyroidism. It is safe and effective, and resolution of the hyperthyroid state occurs within 1-2 weeks instead of the 3-6 months with radioactive iodine. Thyroid surgery is safe when performed by experienced endocrine surgeons, but as with any treatment, there are risks associated with surgery. The treatment of hyperthyroidism is individualized to each patient, and your physician will discuss the risks, benefits and alternatives to all of the options with you during your visit. Surgery leads to permanent hypothyroidism and the need for lifelong thyroid hormone replacement.
A medication called a "beta blocker" can be used to temporarily control some of the uncomfortable symptoms of hyperthyroidism while waiting for other treatments to take effect. Beta blockers control the heart rate and help decrease the feelings of palpitations, irregular heart beats, or a racing heart. They also lower the blood pressure. Your physician will decide whether or not you need to be on this medication. In cases where hyperthyroidism has been caused by thyroiditis, iodine poisoning, or from an overdose of thyroid hormone, this may be the only type of treatment needed. If you are having surgery to cure your hyperthyroidism, you will likely be placed on this medication several weeks before the date of your procedure.

thanks guys. I guessed it was HTML5 (confirmed, by looking at page info)
"How come I can't stream this full screeen? Am I missing something? (Thanks)"
No, you can't watch it in full screen, welcome to HTML5
... but fullscreen still works (sorta) - just upscale the page (ctrl and+) so far, that it fills your screen?

The Illinois Senate is forming a study group.
Quinn said Monday he read with "interest" a report by The Associated Press that shows blacks account for half of all student suspensions even though they make up only one-fifth of the enrollment.
The Chicago Democrat said it's worth considering a special commission to look at the issue. He said discipline needs to be "evenhanded."
Quinn appointed a special commission earlier this year to look at how clout influenced admission decisions at the University of Illinois.
