LISBON People from all over the county lined Main Street from Lisbon Central School to the Lisbon Medical Center Saturday morning to watch the towns annual homecoming parade.
From the town fire and rescue departments to dairy farms, political campaigns and gun enthusiasts, people with pride in their town marched through it waving signs and flags, tossing candy and honking horns.
Nancy D. McCullough and Cindy H. Carr, both of Lisbon, organized the parade after being asked by the Lisbon Hometown Committee.
Ive lived here my whole life and the community comes together well for this, said Ms. Carr. Im thankful to everybody for their time, patience, kindness and for working with us.
Ms. McCullough said the town-funded parade was free for anyone who wanted to participate. Other organizations in the community also contributed sponsorship of the parade.
The come home for the parade, Ms. McCullough said. We always have legions and fire departments from all over the county, so they do participate from all over the county.
Two women who participated in the parade have lived in Lisbon for 83 years. Bessie N. Seguin and Betty H. Seguin are twins who were driven through the parade in the back of a convertible, each sporting a tiara. The two never thought theyd be beauty queens at this age, their driver said.
We never thought wed see her in the parade again, said Chelsey E. Carr, Bessies 22-year-old granddaughter.
Amy M. Chester was managing a float representing her Lisbon dairy farm, C & M Dairy. The float had lots of children on board and people dressed up like cows surrounding it.
Were very pleased to participate, Ms. Chester said. The homecoming is enjoyable and its nice to have everybody get together in the township.
The Northern New York Freedom Fighters was among several groups protesting the states Safe Act gun-control restrictions and encouraging people to vote.
Theres no clubhouse, no meetings, just a bunch of guys that are sick and tired of the way things are, said member of the group, Larry I. Kring.
The Lisbon Central School marching band also made their way down Main Street as the last march of their season.
This is our way to give back to the community, said Glenn Roberts, Canton, who has been Lisbons band director for 12 years. When we first got started they fundraised like crazy to help us get our uniforms and drums and everything. Theyve always been very supportive of us.
When the parade ended at the Lisbon Medical Group, the town wasnt done celebrating.
They held a surprise ceremony changing the name of the Lisbon Medical Group to Alan J. Winney Medical Center, in honor of the towns health officer of 37 years who recently retired.
Mr. Winney served as a member and chief of the towns rescue squad as well as a member of the fire department before becoming Lisbons town healthcare provider and health officer.
Tears were Mr. Winneys initial reaction as the honor came as a complete surprise.
It was very, very humbling, he said. Im just in disbelief.
Mr. Winney said it was an honor to be celebrated during the homecoming weekend because it brings so many people back home and all different organizations are involved.
I thank the community for their acceptance of me as their health officer for 37 years, he said. It was an enjoyable experience and I hope I played a small part in their lives.

Hi all,
I have the following situation:
I want to send data from one MySQL Server to another, the main server is here and the other is in another city, this is done via internet. This is very sensitive data.
What I did is a small PHP script that runs in the client (other city) that connects to the main server and sends all the data from his server to the main one.
The script connects to the main one using the parameter MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL, all worked fine when I ran the script from the prompt using #php (script).
Then I went on and made a cron job (as root) to automate this process (this is a daily process). Here's where the problem started. Whenever the script is run using the cron job (as whatever user even root) it gives me the following error in mysql_connect when connecting to the main server:
Warning: mysql_connect() [http://www.php.net/function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'firstname.lastname@example.com' to database '%T[' in /ServerScripts/SyncronizeDBToMTY.php4 on line 10
The name of the database changes whenever the script is executed. Seems like its getting corrupted somewhere. I tried running the script with the -n param without any luck.
Im desperate, can anyone help me.
Best Regards,

But Alison is content with her life; she enjoys being sheltered from the uncertainty of growing up. When the girls meet three street kids, Lily convinces Alison to follow the boys to Los Angeles. Thrust into a world of excitement and danger, the girls must decide how far they are willing to go to get what they want.

A scathing audit of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) suggests former Sheriff Simon Leis crippled technological developments, stacked leadership positions with political cronies and still kept his staff fiercely loyal during his 25-year reign over the sheriff's office.
According to the Oct. 15 audit, the result was an agency "largely frozen in time" that failed at adopting modern standards and practices for policing and corrections facilities.
As one example, the audit found the agency still uses what it colloquially calls "The Book," a single, massive paper-based trove of financial data and other information, instead of modern technologies, such as computer spreadsheets. Not only did the agency insist on sticking to the old ways of keeping records, but one unit head reportedly told auditors that she simply does not trust computers.
The audit presents various consequences for Hamilton County: outdated policing policies, exposure to possible litigation and an overworked, under-trained staff.
"A mid-level supervisor indicated that in his twenty-plus year career, he has never had updated use of force training beyond the initial academy. This is inconsistent with the best practices and exposes the HCSO, the County, and officeholders to unnecessary legal liability," the audit found.
Leis' policies also had a negative effect on newcomers trying to build a career on the county force, according to the audit.
"The command staff was comprised exclusively of personal and political associates of the former sheriff, some with no true law enforcement experience except at that level," the audit noted. "Almost no career employees were promoted above the rank of lieutenant, despite advanced training including degrees and other training (e.g. Southern Police Institute) directly related to their careers."
One staff commander interviewed for the audit reportedly said the failure to identify, train and promote new leaders created "The Lost Generation" at HCSO.
One explanation for the dire circumstances, according to the audit, is that the agency completely lacked inspection and planning functions that would have examined policies and practices for certain standards and established plans to fix discovered errors.
Another possible cause: The audit found that five years of cuts created staffing gaps in several areas, particularly correctional facilities.
Still, the audit found the sheriff's staff is so loyal that its members would quickly embrace and adapt to changes given through the chain of command. "This is a key advantage, and we have no doubt that both sworn and non-sworn HCSO members will readily and rapidly implement chosen reforms and changes," the audit claimed.
The audit recommends various new investments and changes in standards for HSCO. It notes that some of the investments, such as a greater focus on modern technology, could help make the agency's work more efficient and allow a reduction of non-sworn staff — and the costs associated with them — through attrition.
But the investments would involve a substantial policy shift for Hamilton County, which carried out major budget cuts in the past six years just to get to a point this year where large reductions or tax increases aren't necessary to balance the annual budget.
Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil promised the audit during his 2012 campaign. It was conducted by former American Civil Liberties Union attorney Scott Greenwood and former Cincinnati Police Chief Tom Streicher.
The HCSO audit:
Ohio Democrats are moving to sue the state if it continues blocking access to texts from State Board of Education President Debe Terhar, a Republican from Cincinnati. The school board leader has been facing criticism for making a Facebook post that compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. The post was a picture with the caption, "Never forget what this tyrant said: 'To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.' — Adolf Hitler." There is no historical evidence Hitler made that quote.
Despite ongoing litigation questioning its constitutionality, JobsOhio intends to move ahead with plans to sell liquor-backed bonds. The Supreme Court agreed to take up ProgressOhio's challenge of JobsOhio last week. JobsOhio is a nonprofit private agency set up by Gov. John Kasich to drive economic growth, but bipartisan questions have surrounded its legality and constitutionality since its conception.
Hamilton County Board of Commissioners President Chris Monzel wants to change the county's mission statement. His proposed changes would remove references to equity and add conservative language about the county government living within its means. The county is already required to balance its budget.

The federal government is committing another $5 million to Cincinnati's streetcar project, but the city must first close the budget gap that has recently put the project in danger. The U.S. Department of Transportation is also asking the city to restore certain aspects of the project, including a passenger information system and a screen or wall that would block power substations from public view. City Council's Budget and Finance Committee is expected to vote on the project's $17.4 million budget gap today. The latest proposed fixes from the city manager would pull funding from multiple capital projects, including improvements around the Horseshoe Casino, and issue more debt.
Cincinnati and Hamilton County announced a compromise Friday that will end the county's funding hold on sewer projects. As a result, the city will be required to rework its "responsible bidder" ordinance and repeal the "local hire" and "local preference" laws that incited county commissioners into passing the funding hold in the first place. The city says its responsible bidder law creates local jobs and encourages job training, but the county argues that law's rules favor unions and push up costs on Metropolitan Sewer District projects. CityBeat covered the city-county conflict in further detail here.
Ohio is No. 3 in the nation for "megadeals" — massive government subsidies to corporations that are meant to encourage in-state job creation — but a new report found many of the deals rarely produce the kind of jobs initially touted by public officials. For Cincinnati, the risks of megadeals are nothing new: In 2011, the city's $196.4 million megadeal with Convergys collapsed when the company failed to keep downtown employment at or above 1,450, and the company agreed to pay a $14 million reimbursement to the city.
As of Friday, Cincinnati is officially leasing its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority. The Port announced it had signed the lease Friday, putting an end to a four-day controversy over whether the agency was going to sign the lease at all. The city will get a $92 million lump sum and at least $3 million a year from the deal, according to city estimates. Current plans call for using the money to help balance city budgets and fund economic development projects, including the I-71/MLK Interchange.

City Council met yesterday for the first time since June and passed various development deals that span six Cincinnati neighborhoods. The deals include a 15-year tax abatement for the second phase of The Banks, which will produce 305 apartments and 21,000 square feet of retail space; several other apartment projects; new Over-the-Rhine headquarters for Cintrifuse, a small business and startup incubator; the redevelopment of Emanuel Community Center; and a new homeless shelter for women in Mt. Auburn. The deals are expected to lead to 575 new apartments around the city, which could help meet the high demand for new residential space downtown.
City Council also approved a motion that asks the city administration to begin preparations for a disparity study that would gauge whether the city should change its contracting policies to favor minority- and women-owned businesses. The motion asks the administration to either use part of the upfront money from leasing the city's parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority or find an alternative source of funding. The study is required because of a 1989 U.S. Supreme Court case, which declared that governments must prove there's racial or gender-based disparity before changing policies to favor such groups. Since the city disbanded its last minority- and women-owned business program in 1999, contract participation rates have plummeted for minority-owned businesses and remained relatively flat for women-owned businesses.
Cincinnati and Hamilton County officials still have not reached a compromise on several local hiring and bidding policies for the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), which is owned by the county but run by the city. A moratorium on the controversial city policies expired on Aug. 1, prompting county commissioners to block an upcoming MSD project in a vote Wednesday. Councilman Chris Seelbach told WVXU that those working on a compromise just need a little more time, but he's confident they'll be able to reach an agreement. City Council passed hiring and bidding rules in May this year and June 2012 that require MSD contractors to meet certain job training requirements that council members say will lead to more local jobs, but county commissioners argue the standards are too strenuous and favor unions. CityBeat covered the dispute in further detail here.
State Reps. Connie Pillich and Denise Driehaus of Cincinnati will hold a press conference today asking Gov. John Kasich to launch an ethics investigation into JobsOhio, the privatized development agency. State Democrats have been particularly critical of JobsOhio since a Dayton Daily News report found six of nine JobsOhio board members have direct financial ties to companies that have taken state aid from the development agency. Republicans argue that JobsOhio's secretive, privatized nature allows it to expedite deals that bring businesses and jobs to the state, but Democrats claim the set-up lacks transparency and fosters corruption.
Only one-third of Ohio school levies were approved in a special election Tuesday. Despite an increase in funding in the most recent two-year state budget, state funding to schools has been slashed since Gov. John Kasich took office.
The Charter Committee's second round of endorsements for
this year's City Council elections went to Democrats Greg Landsman and
David Mann and Republican Amy Murray. Previous endorsements went to Independents Kevin Flynn and Vanessa White and Democrat Yvette Simpson. The Charter Committee isn't generally seen as a traditional political party, but it holds a lot of sway in local politics.

The full Q&A with Meyers can be read here.
In the latest budget plan, Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan is asking all city employees, including cops and firefighters, to take eight furlough days, which she says would save enough money to prevent all layoffs. That plan follows a motion co-sponsored by council members Roxanne Qualls and Chris Seelbach, which would eliminate all fire layoffs and reduce police layoffs to 25.
Hamilton County commissioners voted to stop all sewer projects yesterday in opposition to the city's "responsible bidder" policy, which requires most contractors working with the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) to have apprenticeship programs. City Council, spearheaded by Seelbach, passed the measure to encourage more job training options for workers, but the county government says the measure is unfair and puts too much of a strain on businesses working with MSD. The issue will likely head to court.
Commentary: "Good News Reveals Budget Deception."
At last night's budget hearings, Councilman Charlie Winburn repeatedly brought up the city's so-called "credit cards," which are really procurement cards that are often used by the mayor to entertain and attract businesses to Cincinnati. Winburn says the use of the cards is outrageous when the city is considering laying off cops and firefighters, and Councilman Chris Smitherman says the system needs more controls. The cards are set up so they can only be used by city employees for certain services, and City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. says the cards make the system more efficient, which means lower prices for the city.
A bill in the Ohio House revives the Medicaid expansion, which was previously opposed by Republicans as part of the budget process. Gov. John Kasich is one of the top Ohio Republicans who supports the expansion, but it's unclear how far the bill can move this time, considering many Republicans are still opposed. CityBeat covered the expansion, which would insure half a million Ohioans and save the state money in the next decade, in further detail here.
The Ohio General Assembly passed a bill
yesterday that would effectively ban Internet "sweepstakes" cafes,
which state officials say are prone to illegal gambling activity. State
Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, says the bill is a "shoot 'em
and let God sort it out" approach because the bill generalizes against
all Internet cafes instead of imposing specific regulations that would
only target offenders. If Kasich signs the bill, it will become law.
The Ohio Public Interest Research Group, a nonprofit advocacy group, submitted 589 petitions to the Ohio Senate opposing a measure that would force Ohio's public universities to decide between $370 million in out-of-state tuition revenue and giving out-of-state students documents required for voting. The measure was originally sneaked into the Ohio House budget plan, but Senate officials are removing it from the budget bill and appear likely to take it up in a standalone bill. CityBeat covered the original measure here.

The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a 40-year agreement with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) that will lease the county-owned Memorial Hall and provide renovations to the 105-year-old building.
County officials have long said the building, which is used to host concerts, shows and speaking events, is in dire need of upgrades, particularly overhauls to its roof, windows, facade work, floors, air conditioning and bathrooms — all of which will now be financed by 3CDC with the help of tax credits.
"The public-private partnership between 3CDC and Hamilton County will result in the preservation of historic Memorial Hall without the use of taxpayer dollars for the improvements," Commissioner Greg Hartmann, a Republican, said in a statement. "3CDC has an impressive track record with development projects in downtown Cincinnati and will be a great partner to manage this project."
The partnership will also relinquish the county government's operational funding for insurance and utilities for Memorial Hall, which cost the county about $200,000 annually.
In a statement, Hartmann's office said the partnership with 3CDC "extends only to the renovations at Memorial Hall," and the county will retain ownership and the final say over any increased programming.
The city of Cincinnati has repeatedly partnered with 3CDC, a nonprofit company, for projects at Fountain Square, Washington Park, the Vine Street streetscape project and ongoing developments throughout Over-the-Rhine.
Gov. John Kasich will not look to the full legislature to expand Medicaid and is instead asking a seven-member legislative oversight panel to consider using federal funds for the next two years to expand Medicaid eligibility to more low-income Ohioans. The Controlling Board, which is made up of one Kasich appointee, four Republican legislators and two Democratic legislators, will make its decision on Oct. 21. The expansion would allow Medicaid, the government-run health insurance program, to cover all Ohioans up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or individuals with an annual income of $15,856.20 or less. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found the expansion would generate $1.8 billion for Ohio and insure nearly half a million Ohioans over the next decade.
Cincinnati's 2013 mayoral and City Council elections may be on track for the lowest ever voter turnout. As of Friday, the Hamilton County Board of Elections had processed 3,173 absentee ballot applications in Cincinnati. At the same point in 2011, the board had processed 8,964 applications in the city. The numbers come just one month after a measly 5.68 percent of voters cast a ballot in the mayoral primary election, much lower than the mayoral primaries held on Sept. 11, 2001, the day of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and 2005.
Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann acknowledges Union Terminal is in need of repairs, but he says the Museum Center must lower the estimated $180 million price tag on the project. "These are great facilities, but we don't have an unlimited amount of dollars, and I think taxpayers expect us to view their tax dollars in that way. I think that number for the Museum Center is too high right now. I've encouraged them to bring that number way down for (county commissioners) to consider having the property tax payers of this county pay for it," Hartmann said.
Hamilton County judges say witness intimidation is on the rise, which could be making it more difficult to put criminals in prison. Judges are so concerned that they banned cellphones from their courtrooms after some residents used the devices to take pictures of witnesses and showed the photos in neighborhoods as an intimidation tactic, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Now, some witnesses are refusing to testify even when threatened with jail. To them, the threat of violent crime is so real that some jail time makes more sense in comparison.
City officials plan to break ground today for a new police station for District 3 on the west side of Cincinnati. The district serves East Price Hill, East Westwood, English Woods, Lower Price Hill, Millvale, North Fairmount, Riverside, Roll Hill, Sayler Park, Sedamsville, South Cumminsville, South Fairmount, West Price Hill and Westwood.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asked the Ohio EPA to explain in writing why a proposed permit for Murray Energy's coal slurry project doesn't include certain pollution limits. Without the restrictions on specific toxic gases, the U.S. EPA could reject the project's permit. Former Ohio EPA Surface Water Division Chief George Elmaraghy previously said his call to adhere to pollution limits for coal companies led the Kasich administration to fire him.

The streetcar project is moving forward following yesterday's votes from City Council's Budget and Finance Committee, which approved increased capital funding and accountability measures that will keep the public updated on the project's progress. The increased funding fixes the project's $17.4 million budget gap by issuing more debt and pulling funding from various capital projects, including infrastructure improvements around the Horseshoe Casino. The accountability measures will require the city administration to report to City Council on the streetcar's progress with a timeline of key milestones, performance measures, an operating plan, staffing assessments and monthly progress reports.
At the same committee meeting, council members failed to carry out a repeal of "local hire" and "local preference" laws, which was part of an earlier announced compromise between the city and county that would allow work on sewer projects to continue. At this point, it's unclear whether the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners will repeal the funding hold on sewer projects. The commissioners passed the hold after City Council modified its "responsible bidder" law in May. The city says the laws encourage local job creation and training, but the county claims the rules favor unions and impose extra costs on Metropolitan Sewer District projects.
Republican Gov. John Kasich's approval ratings hit an all-time high of 54 percent in a new Quinnipiac University poll, helping him hold a 14-point lead against likely Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald. "All in all, at this stage, Kasich has done a pretty good job appealing to voters across the state," said Quinnipiac's Peter Brown. "FitzGerald remains pretty much an unknown to most Ohioans, with only one in four voters knowing enough about him to have formed an opinion. The election is a long way away, but the next stage will be the race to define FitzGerald, positively by the candidate himself and negatively by the Kasich folks."
The Cincinnati office for the Internal Revenue Service also targeted liberal groups, particularly those who used the terms "progressive" and "occupy." The IRS has been under scrutiny in the past few months for targeting conservative groups by honing in on terms such as "tea party" and "9/12."

City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. gave his suggestions for fixing the streetcar budget gap Tuesday, and CityBeat analyzed the details here. The suggestion, which include temporarily using front-loaded Music Hall funds and pulling money from other capital projects, are capital budget items that can't be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of limits in state law, so if City Council approved the suggestions, the streetcar would not be saved at the expense of cops, firefighters and other city employees being laid off to balance the operating budget.
Ohio Senate Republicans seem unlikely to take up so-called "right to work" (RTW) legislation after it was proposed in the Ohio House. RTW legislation prevents unions and employers from making collective bargaining agreements that require union membership to be hired for a job, significantly weakening a union's leverage in negotiations by reducing membership. Since states began adopting the anti-union laws, union membership has dropped dramatically around the nation. Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, were quick to condemn the RTW bills and compare them to S.B. 5, a 2011 bill backed by Republican Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Republicans that would have limited collective bargaining powers for public employees and significantly reduced public sector unions' political power.
Hamilton County commissioners approved a county-wide collaborative between health and government agencies to help reduce the county's infant mortality rate, which has exceeded the national average for more than a decade. Funding for the program will come in part from the sale of Drake Hospital to UC Health.
With a 7-2 vote yesterday, City Council updated its "responsible bidder" ordinance, which requires job training from contractors working with the Metropolitan Sewer District, to close loopholes and include Greater Cincinnati Water Works projects. Councilman Chris Seelbach led the charge on the changes, which were opposed by council members Chris Smitherman and Charlie Winburn.
Ohio Senate Democrats are still pushing the Medicaid expansion, which the Health Policy Institute of Ohio found would insure 456,000 Ohioans and save the state money in the next decade. Ohio House Republicans effectively rejected the expansion with their budget bill, which the Ohio Senate is now reviewing. CityBeat covered the Ohio House budget bill in further detail here.
The state's Public Utilities Commissions of Ohio approved a 2.9 percent rate hike for Duke Energy, which will cost customers an average of $3.72 every month.

POTSDAM - Just four months after launching its Project JOINTS (Joining Organizations in Tackling Surgical Site Infections) initiative in April of 2011, Canton-Potsdam Hospital (CPH) began seeing impressive results of zero surgical site infections for elective total knee and hip replacement surgeries.
CPH is now in its 19th consecutive month with zero infections. Only a few hundred organizations across the country, including CPH, were invited to participate in trialing Project JOINTS, an initiative of the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Results of the trial have shown significant reduction in SSIs. Based on this success, IHI is now expanding Project JOINTS nationally as a best practice for all healthcare facilities.
CPH staff have been formally invited to speak at the IHIs 24th annual National Forum on Thursday. Participating will be members of the hospitals operating room, ambulatory surgery, lab, and infection prevention team including Lisa McDonald, Karen Cox, Jeanette Dempsey, Nancy Foisy, Sally Remington, and Nancy Wood. Participants will share their process for implementing the project and how they are able to maintain their zero SSIs status through utilization of these best practices.
The Project JOINTS Program holds healthcare organizations to a rigorous set of standards and protocols to follow. To ensure the best care for our patients, weve been diligent to adhere to those standards, noted Sue Hodgson, MHSA, RN, CPHQ, FACHE, vice president of Quality and Performance Improvement and Chief Nursing Officer. We recognize return visits, readmission, prolonged therapy, repeat surgeries, and redundant imaging scans are typically unnecessary if we all perform consistently. Through this program, we work collaboratively with our patients and set them up for a successful recovery.
Infection prevention specialist at CPH expressed the criticality of re-evaluating and re-identifying areas that pose risks for infection prior to making an incision. Correct hand washing, skin preparation, and proper protective wear (gowns, masks, gloves, and hair covers) dramatically reduce the presence of bacteria. Equally as important to minimizing the risk for an infection is the precise timing and dosage of antibiotics.
Success is tightly hinged on pre-screenings and patient education, said Lisa McDonald, BSN, RN, RNFA, CNOR, CPH Project JOINTS coordinator.
Our Pre-op Nurses provide education and one-on-one consults prior to surgery to ensure everyone is comfortable with the pre and post-surgery expectations. During a consult, patients participate in a simple nasal swab screening to determine the presence of bacteria. Depending on the results, some patients might require a second set of cleansing wipes to use or the provider might prescribe antibiotics be administered. Its very common for individuals to test positive; however, weve adopted best practice measures to eliminate the bacteria from the skin so that it does not get into the wound and develop into an infection, McDonald added.
As a natural extension of Project JOINTS, CPH and its providers have adopted additional processes for reducing infections. Recently CPH established a multimodal total joint pain protocol, wherein providers develop a combination of medications for each patient, depending on their individual needs.
Pain management is an integral part of healing. Similar to uncontrolled blood sugar contributing to higher rates of infection and slower wound healing, high pain levels after surgery can also increase complications and risks, McDonald noted.
CPHs quality and safety results are monitored and assessed by external organizations that benchmark against national standards and report out progress to the public. Individuals can compare hospitals in their area by visiting http://medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/ and typing in a zip code or hospital name.
