Washington journalism is like high school. It has the same cool kids, mean girls, social rankings and the big prom—the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner. But unlike what happens in high school, the insular behavior of the Washington media affects the whole nation.
What a cutup! What a card, that President Obama, who suited up in a tux and served up a fresh batch of birther jokes Saturday night at the bizarre annual ritual known as the White House Correspondents Dinner. Taking aim at Fox News and Donald Trump, who stood out among the various sycophants media representatives, celebrities and politicos ... (more)

If you've been suffering from the heat wave and drought, you should have come to Evergreen Outreach this week at Fayette County Hospital. We were all most abundantly refreshed and rewarded.
Beverly Hood started the program, while we passed out cookies from Pam Baker – wonderful chocolate chip cookies that were slightly warm. Yum! And if that wasn't enough goodness, Phyllis Thoman was tickling the ivory keys, producing beautiful notes to cheer us all up.
We celebrated birthdays for Ryan Hunter, Sandy Beegle and Angela Ondes.
The Rev. Tom Farris lead us in a prayer, and shared a Bible story about King Saul (from Isaiah 55:1-9). Ultimately, when King Saul made poor choices, he was dethroned. If he had turned to God and asked him to help him with his choices, he wouldn't have suffered so much. Although God allowed him to experience great pain and anguish, in the end, he loved God more. He would accept no savior except him. Our lesson from this is that we are not to judge others, but to let God judge everyone in his own way and time. Only he can see in our hearts and minds. Farris closed with a prayer and a blessing for all of us.
And then the party began! Our entertainers for the day were singers Judy Varga and Randy Schukar. All we had to do was sing and dance. Just plain fun!
Randy started off with a serious solo entitled "What Jesus Did For Me." It certainly made you stop and think. Randy soloed with "Ring of Fire" and "Heartaches by the Number" (and he wasn't talking about chest pain)! Judy sang next, starting with "Lollipop" (and while she was singing, candy lollipops were handed out to everyone). Then came "Coal Miner's Daughter." Randy then sang "Elvira" and "The Gambler."
A long row of "chicken dancers" was formed, with plenty of clucking and chuckling. After that, I lost track of who sang what, so it was a good thing that they sang "Help Me Make It Through the Night." We made a circle of dancers for "Rockytop," and then came "Lucille," "Kiss an Angel Good Morning," "Tennessee Waltz," "Crazy," "Hey Good Lookin'" "Okie from Muskogee," and Judy finished with "The Lighthouse."
The pinochle players were in a different room, as it was just a tiny bit loud, with all of us singing almost as loud as the entertainers. John Huntley and Shirley Locke won two games, while Peggy Lippold and Rosamund Hobler won one.
I dare say that this was the most fun anyone has had in a hospital! Hats off to Evergreen Outreach! Anyone wanting to participate or volunteer, can contact Phyllis Rames or just meet us at First United Methodist Church's Wesley Hall on Mondays at 1 p.m.

The Pam Borton Radio Show can be heard Monday night at 7:30 p.m. from the Stadium Village Applebee's on the campus of the University of Minnesota. Hosted by the Golden Gopher women's basketball radio team of Corbu Stathes and Lynnette Sjoquist, the show can be heard live on 1500 ESPN.
Fans are encouraged to join Borton, Stathes and Sjoquist at Applebee's to catch the show live, grab a bite to eat and enjoy a great atmosphere with their fellow Gopher faithful.
On tonight's show, the trio will take a look back at the Cancun Challenge, where the Golden Gophers posted a 2-1 record vs. Richmond, James Madison and Missouri last weekend, and will also look ahead to the Gophers' ACC/Big Ten Challenge showdown on Thursday vs. Virginia. The game is set for 7:00 p.m. at Williams Arena and will be broadcast live on BTN.

Following the Cancun Challenge, Minnesota will return home to face Virginia on Thursday, Nov. 29, in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Cavaliers are receiving 19 votes in the latest AP Poll.

OPINION: Research in Motion, which makes the BlackBerry line of smartphones, has 106 passwords which can't be used to sign into its BlackBerry 10 operating system. Making their way onto the prohibited lists are passwords that are very easily guessable, such as "password" and "123456", which makes the BlackBerry decision seem eminently sensible.
You may think nobody uses hackneyed and easily guessable passwords any more, but you'd be wrong. According to Splashdata's survey of this year's most commonly used passwords, the two above are the two most popular passwords used, with "abc123", "qwerty" and "letmein" joining them in the top 10. Exactly the same kind of result is found when hackers make off with thousands of passwords - those most commonly used include those listed above.
There's an argument to be made that passwords aren't enough any more, after a tech-savvy journalist found his Gmail, Apple ID and Twitter accounts all compromised within an hour, despite his using strong passwords. In that case, a little knowledge about the person helped the hackers to acquire one password, which then gave them information - such as some credit-card digits - that could be used to access all his other accounts, one by one via helplines and password resets. It's scary how simple it is to entirely take over someone's online life if a concerted effort is made by someone with malicious intent.
PC World recommends you use two-factor authentication, where it's available - that is, having an offline code or token that must be used in combination with your online password to grant access. Gmail, for example, lets you use an SMS to your phone as a cross-check before login as a way to ensure your account is secure.
Where two-factor authentication isn't available, good passwords are essential. How do you make one?
A strong password contains letters, numbers, symbols, and is as long as possible - 10 or 12 characters or longer is far better than six or eight. Don't use plain English words. One method I use is to create phrases, which can then be turned into a sort of shorthand for a password. It makes them easier to remember, but harder to crack.
It's also good practice to use a separate password for each account that contains sensitive information about you: bank accounts, your email address, Facebook, AppleID. That way, if someone acquires the password for one, they don't have access to everything.
If you have trouble remembering passwords, software can help. We recommend a few products, including LastPass, 1Password, RoboForm and KeePass.
You may not have heard of Bitcoin: it's a form of money that you create using your computer. I don't mean in a "make money fast" kind of way, either. Instead, Bitcoins are generated by computer processing power.
If you sign up to mine Bitcoins, then when your computer isn't busy doing your regular work and hobbies, it can be used to solve a complex problem, and bitcoins are issued linked to how much work is done, in a predictable way. The problem gets more or less difficult depending on how many miners there are, and the system is intended to always be profitable for miners.
Alternatively, you can swap regular money for Bitcoins at a Bitcoin exchange - there are several around the world. And now, it appears that France will be allowing the French Bitcoin exchange to register with it's banking authority as a financial institution. Is that worthwhile? Apparently, Bitcoins is the most popular form of alternative currency - bigger than Bartercard - and a Bitcoin is worth about US$12 right now.
Some companies even accept Bitcoins in payment: WordPress announced in November that it now accepts Bitcoins for its blogging system software.
But it's also been accused of being a Ponzi scheme because of the way that the coins are mined: those who started out early earned thousands of coins for the same amount of work that may net you 50 coins now. You've got a few more years to try and mine your fortune, though - Bitcoins are designed to run out, in 2016 - or at 100 million coins in total. You can get started at bitcoin.org.

My chronic back and neck pain are always in search of a massage person with expertise. Thank goodness I heard about Anne Atkinson in New Orleans. I hesitantly made an appointment with Anne, hesitant because of past disappointments and even worse pain following former massages and physical therapies. It has happened all too often. It was a delightful day after my first massage with Anne Atkinson and the ones that followed were a continual relief of symptoms and pain. I became frisky, young and MORE importantly without pain after a long series of events! This women is a miracle worker worth much more than what she charges. I think I should schedule with her again NOW!

Anne specializes in personalized messages. Before the message she tries to get an idea of what your needs are. Such as, are you having pain in a specific area, are you holding stress in your neck, shoulders, back, head? This is not done as a quick conversation on the way to the message table; she discusses it with you until all your problems are addressed. I find her easy to talk to and I love that she doesn't talk during the message unless it is to be sure that the message is as you like it. Her message room is clean, quiet and relaxing to be in. In fact, I can feel the tension building up, think it's about time for a 90 minute message right now!
What I appreciate about Anne is her ability to tailor the massage experience to your specific needs. If there is a particular area or problem that needs attention, she is on it. If you need to talk while you are on the table, she is a great conversationalist and listener. If you want to relax and fall asleep while in her capable hands, that happens. Though the language of spirituality is not promoted, Anne clearly has a spirtual side which is evident in her attitude toward the individual who is in her care. I go away from each session envigorated and relaxed.

Rolex Big Boat Series - Multiple champions to compete
by Barby MacGowan on 1 Aug 2013
Rolex Big Boat Series - Bernard Girod's Farr 400 Rock and Roll in IRC-C © Rolex/Daniel Forster
The 2013 Rolex Big Boat Series will again be hosted at the St. Francis Yacht Club where racers from around the globe will participate in the West Coast's premier regatta from September 26-29. The event, in its 49th edition, will host four days of racing for monohull and multihull classes and serve as the West Coast IRC Championship, the HPR National Championship, and the Melges 24 Pre-Worlds. It will take center stage on San Francisco Bay as the first sailing event succeeding the 34th America's Cup, and spectators will once again have front row seats to watch some thrilling racing action.
Debuting with their own class at last year's Rolex Big Boat Series, multihulls will be returning in force this year with several new additions, including Tom Siebel's (Felton, CA) MOD 70 Orion Racing, which is capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots and is the first West Coast entrant in this emerging global class.
Also returning will be the IRC classes, with the IRC 52 Vesper, owned by Jim Swartz (Park City, Utah), looking to claim the IRC West Coast Championship after taking the IRC National Championship title at this event in 2012. The team will face tough competition from other 52s, including Tom Akins' (Tiburon, Calif.) team aboard the RP 52 Meanie, and from many Transpac teams that will be making San Francisco their next port of call after returning from Hawaii.
'The Rolex Big Boat Series will be a lot of fun this year,' said Akins, who is fresh off his class win in the 2013 Transpac and was new to the Rolex Big Boat Series last year. 'Meanie's design brief may be less geared towards Vesper's strength in buoy racing, but our team, with roots in San Francisco, knows this race track, and after thousands of miles of ocean racing knows how to get the most out of this boat. We are looking forward to the competition.'
This will be the inaugural running of the HPR (High Performance Rule) National Championship, and rising to the occasion will be defending 2012 Rolex Big Boat Series HPR class champion Peter Krueger (Reno, Nev.) and his team aboard the J/125 Double Trouble.
'When you look at the type of competition in which Rolex involves itself, it is no wonder that many competitors commit to competing in the Rolex Big Boat Series year after year,' said Krueger, adding that Double Trouble also won in 2011 with co-owner Andy Costello at the helm. 'We are fortunate enough to have a great crew, great boat and great sails, but there is much more pressure this year, because when you are sitting on the top, in terms of competition, there is only one way you can go, and that is down, so we are preparing to bring our A+ game.'
Every year, six coveted awards are given for best performances in specific classes at the regatta and are accompanied by Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner watches, which are presented to the skippers. The trophies remain on display at St. Francis Yacht Club and are as follows: the St. Francis Perpetual Trophy, City of San Francisco Trophy, Richard Rheem Perpetual Trophy, Keefe-Kilborn Perpetual Trophy, Atlantic Perpetual and the Commodore's Cup.

BYU basketball: Brock Zylstra will man the point until Matt Carlino becomes eligible
Jonathan Hardy
PROVO — The Cougars already have their point guard, as all signs point to UCLA transfer Matt Carlino taking the reins based on his impressive practice performances.
Due to NCAA transfer restrictions, however, Carlino won't be able to join the team until its game against Baylor on Dec. 17. From now until then, coach Dave Rose and his staff will be looking for a starting point guard.
The Cougars won't be taking on exactly a cupcake schedule in the early going. The candidates at the position will have to take on both in-state rivals Utah State and Utah on the road along with Weber State at home and Oregon at EnergySolutions Arena.
So who will be manning the position and who will be that player's primary backup?
Going by the minutes logged against Midwestern State and in practices, the 6-foot-6 former swingman Brock Zylstra looks to be the best bet.
"It's still a battle, but Brock has played the most minutes," said Rose.
The other two players vying for the starting spot — or at least some playing time at the point — are 6-foot junior Nick Martineau and 6-foot-2 junior Craig Cusick, who transferred from Utah.
While both Martineau and Cusick are natural point guards, Zylstra, a redshirt junior, has played and practiced exclusively at wing positions prior to this season. Not many fans imagined him to be the likely stop-gap option at the point until he played well there during the team's trip to Greece.
Since that trip, he's maintained the starting spot and is coming off of a solid performance against Midwestern State where he scored six points and dished out five assists in 21 minutes of play. What wasn't as solid, however, were his three turnovers.
"It was different and it was fun," said Zylstra. "I think I had three turnovers, which is not what I wanted, but it was a fun thing to experience."
It was a good and necessary thing for him and for the team to experience as well. Making the switch from a wing to the point isn't something you do effectively overnight.
Fortunately, Zylstra has the right mindset to do it effectively. While he fully admits that playing the point isn't his preference, he's more than willing to do whatever helps the team most.
"The one thing that Brock has demonstrated, over the course of the three years that he's been with us, is that he's a team guy," said Rose. "He's done anything that we've asked him to do his first three years and now we're asking him to play a new position that he's excited about. That's just who he is."
While it's incumbent on the point guard to manage the offense and in effect run the team, Zylstra isn't going at it alone. Given BYU's offensive system, he's receiving a lot of help.
"I think it's a team effort," said Zylstra. "With me bringing the ball up, I get a lot of help from the wings and from how plays are being drawn up."
While he's likely to see the most minutes at point while Carlino is out, some think he is likely to assume his role as a wing-man when Carlino returns. The prospect hasn't been discussed much, if at all, regarding what his eventual role will be, but Zylstra is OK with whatever coaches feel is best.
"I just want to do what is best for the team," he said. "That's my main focus."
It's that attitude that Rose hopes to impart on his young team this season.
"It's a great opportunity for him and hopefully he'll take advantage of that opportunity," Rose said. "I also think it's a great lesson to our younger guys about being a team guy."

These gorgeous leather jackets are perfect for auto snobs -- they're lined with salvaged leathers and fabrics from vintage car seats.
The Platinum Dirt VIN Jackets are made to order and custom-fit by Dustin Page, a passionate connoisseur of cars himself. A lover of Cadillacs and Lincolns from the '60s and '70s, he went on a mission to find the remains in auto junkyards. He used the old leathers to create brand new, retro-cut, distressed leather jackets and gathered hood-ornaments to act as zipper pulls.
This way if the wife makes you give up your '63 Caddy, for $1,200, you can still wear part of it close to your heart each time you miss it!

Fortunately for everybody involved, it seemed that nobody was hurt badly. Unfortunately for the reader, it seemed that the photographer didn't coordinate with the writer who's article emphasized the unusual circumstances, geography leading up to the car landing where it did. There were no photographs to help the reader understand visually what the writer and those quoted were talking about. It would have been nice to have at least one or two photographs of the road, the turn, and the terrain that the car had to maneuver around.

Hopefully the young girl learns a good lesson from this, both in distracted driving and about being honest. People make mistakes. What happens next is what is important.

She was very upset that she couldn't keep on driving when it was stuck.

I recently watched a kid (19 yrs old) veer off the street and run smack into a tree. I was watching him the whole time and he was texting. After he hit the tree, (severe damage to SUV-none to him) and he was calmed down, I asked him if his phone was ok. He went on to tell me that he just got a new iphone and loved it. When the cops arrived he told them he was forced off the road by an unknown driver.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Fix before car insurance declares a total loss?

Stop Auto Insurance Telemarketing?
About a year and a half ago one day, I received about a dozen telemarketing calls in rapid succession wanting to sell me car insurance. I haven't owned a car in about 5 years at that point so I assumed that maybe years and years ago I filled out a form and my information was passed around from lead vendor to vendor and suddenly resurfaced.

How to Force a Doctor to Fix a Billing Mistake
Two months ago I went to a new doctor for my yearly physical at the recommendation of a friend. I've talked with my insurance provider before and they said that an annual physical is covered and should cost me approximately nothing. So I was surprised when I later got a bill for several hundred dollars. The root of the problem seems to be that the doctor classified everything as diagnostic rather than preventative. My insurance has said they can't do anything unless he contacts them and changes the classification. I have called and emailed the doctor's office multiple times to clear up the issue, but they have done nothing and I am still getting bill reminders for several hundred dollars. What additional action can I take, legal or otherwise, to force this doctor to fix his mistake?
Great renter's insurance for a cyclist?
I've come to the realization that I'm stupid for not having renter's insurance. Mainly because I now have a collection of six bicycles that are very dear to me; a couple of them are even custom. I'm looking for renter's insurance that will protect me from theft (in home and out) and if possible, even damage from crashing. Ideally this would also cover the bikes at full value, not some bs depreciation. I'm in San Francisco, CA.
What contents insurance should we get as tenants in the UK?
Expats living in London, renting the ground floor flat of a house. We don't have much in the way of high-value possessions aside from laptops, TV, bike, clothing, but we should probably get them covered. Please recommend a good policy or insurance company. [more inside]

In a month or so, I will be buying a used car from a relative in a far away state to bring to New York state (not city). What do I need to do to be in compliance with the law, regarding insurance and registration? I already have a NY state license.
Should I pay for original work while damage fixed?

Should I fill a prescription in my own name, intended for my mom?
My mother is retired and disabled, on a fixed income. Every single year she hits the coverage gap (the "donut hole") on her medications, usually by September or October. This leads to the last three months of the year being a scramble of asking for free samples of her diabetic medications from her endocrinologist, and scraping to get by. At her last visit, her doctor straight-up offered to write the prescriptions in my name. My insurance would cover it with a simple copay and no coverage gap. Should I do this? [more inside]
How do I sign up for private health insurance asap?

Employment Insurance in Ontario
Hi. I have a question about how employment insurance works in Ontario. I read through the government of Ontario's webpage, but some things were unclear and I was hoping to get some clarity here. (If there's a better place to post this, please let me know!) I currently work as an actuarial student. In this context, student means that I'm still progressing through exams - I'm actually in my late 20's and well out of university. My job requires that I pass a series of exams. If I fail to pass an exam at least once every 18 months, I'll be fired. I'm writing an exam at the end of April and if I fail, I will meet the condition where the company can fire me. My question is - would I qualify for employment insurance payments if that were to happen?
Host Liquor Liability Insurance
In the midst of wedding planning and I am not sure how to resolve this particular issue. We finally found and booked a venue that we like and where we could bring in an outside caterer. Our caterer happens to be a BYO restaurant. Our venue allows us to serve alcohol but requires proof of insurance. Particularly, Host Liquor Liability insurance for $500,000. Since the caterer is a BYO, he does not have this coverage. How do I go about getting the required insurance? I know there are third party insurance providers. Is this where I should turn to? [Located in Philadelphia, the venue is a township owned building, the wedding date in Summer 2015]

Reporting a house insurance claim 101
While I was away, someone caused some minor damage to a corner of the house with their truck (chipped/cracked masonry, missing mortar, etc). My neighbour dealt with the initial incident, and I have the culprit's insurance details, and will be initiating a claim. Having not claimed on my house policy before, do I need to contact my insurance as well? Or do I just go through the insurance of the person who caused the damage? Thank you!
RV insurance pointers - medium term living.

Not-My-Fault Car Accident, How to Handle Insurance?
I was rear-ended last night - at a complete stop waiting for a light; the car behind me was going about 40mph when it hit us. Called the cops, called my insurance, it is completely the other driver's fault. My insurance said I can either have the other driver's insurance (Traveler's) handle my claim, or I can pay my $500 deductible and have my insurance handle the claim (repairs, rental car, etc.) with the knowledge that they may not be able to recover my deductible.

Multiple private health insurers?
USA insurance-filter: is it possible to be covered by 2 private insurance plans at once? We like my wife's employer's insurance, but it doesn't cover the expensive fertility treatments that we'll be receiving soon. My work's insurance does cover those treatments. Can we pay for both insurance plans and be covered by both? [more inside]

Car rental insurance in the UK (and paying US rates for the rentals!)
I'm a US citizen with a US driver's license, currently living in London. I don't own a car and I don't have car insurance. I'm planning to rent cars on holidays in the UK and elsewhere in Europe a few times this year. How do I do this without buying the typically exorbitant insurance coverage from the rental agencies and not relying on the limited coverage that my US credit card offers? [more inside]

Insurance companies for small business liability policies (SF bay area)
I want to investigate the cost of getting a small business liability policy, which is necessary for me to rent classroom space at nearby universities and local school districts. The requirement is usually a $1million policy with the school as an additional insured. I assume it will make the most sense to just get an annual policy, rather than event by event. Can you recommend reputable companies I should contact for quotes? [more inside]
Any informed assessments of Allied Insurance?
I can get somewhat cheaper auto insurance from Allied, but have not heard of this company. Googling for reviews get mixed results. Has anyone had experience with them - customer service, paying claims, etc.?
How to get details of coverage for a preexisting condition?
USA insurance-filter: we can't have kids naturally and need either surgery or IVF. We are on my wife's insurance, which does not cover either of these. My employer's insurance says it does, but before we switch I want to be very sure these things are covered and understand any limitations. Can I just ask the insurer directly? [more inside]
Big Toes are Worth More
What was this novel/short story/screenplay/dream I read?

Can I "loan" my car out for 5 months, and be legally covered?
My situation: I bought a car to replace my stolen scooter about a year ago, and just got my scooter back. Til the end of summer, I imagine I'll be riding the scoot exclusively. In lieu of selling my car and purchasing another in a few months- which I'd have to do in 8-month-rainy-season Seattle- I'd like to figure out a way to let someone use/insure/park it til then, and be legally assured that I would get the car back in the same condition I left it.

Finding out if a Life Insurance policy exists?
How do I find out if a Life Insurance policy exists? My Dad passed away last week after a short illness, and I'm in Milwaukee taking care of his affairs, cleaning out his apartment, etc. It was so sudden that we never got a chance to discuss specifics like if he had a will (he doesn't), etc. This is in the State of Wisconsin, city/county of Milwaukee.

My fiance sold and shipped some very expensive, heavy, one-of-a-kind electronics to an online friend overseas. They were damaged during international shipping. The purchase price was over a thousand dollars and the items are literally irreplaceable. Who is legally liable here? What are the ethics? We *cannot* afford to reimburse this expense. [more inside]

I just got a check for $10k. Can I keep it? YANAL.
A year ago, I was involved in a car accident that was not my fault. Now, in exchange for being released from any future liability for injuries relating to the accident, the other person's car insurance has issued a check directly to me. For $10k. This feels too good to be true--is it? [more inside]

Seeing two physical therapists at once - is it OK?
I've been seeing a PT for 3 months who is covered entirely by insurance. They provide ultrasound, etc., but not much else. I want to see another PT to get better treatment and pay out of pocket. Would it be OK to continue seeing the insurance-covered PT for ultrasound and e-stem once a week and pay out of pocket to go to the other PT once a week? Would my insurance company frown on this if they found out?
Help me find a cheap health insurance plan I can get online
I am getting health insurance just to meet the minimum coverage for something I'm doing that requires health insurance. I just want a cheap plan that I can get online. I tried googling but it's overwhelming and I don't know which sites to trust, half of them look like spam/scam to me. Is there a good comparison site?
TMJ and insurance
Asking for a friend: "I have TMJ & I'm looking for new insurance. I've noticed that Health Choice Insurance doesn't exclude TMJ, but you have to be authorized for it. The company seems small, and to partner with a handful of clinics. Does anyone have experience with this company, or with a different company who would cover an occlusional splint specifically made for the treatment of TMJ?" [more inside]

Question about Ontario driving records
I would like to buy a used car, drive it all summer (commuting to a short-term job), then sell it. I'm a newish driver, first car, first time getting auto insurance. Recently I got a major traffic ticket, for which I've already requested a trial. It's likely I'll be done with the car before the trial date arrives. How will this pending ticket affect my insurance? Also, I don't know if my infraction is potentially worth demerit points- how would I find that out? [more inside]
Can you have two health insurance companies & plans?
Hi MeFi, So a bit of a weird situation here. I was laid off in 2013 and at the end of that year I applied for Obamacare. It took FOREVER to get the application going since the website was awful so long story short, it's early 2014 and I get a job with full benefits. I completely forget about the application for Obamacare and it's now January 2015 and I received a letter from CeltiCare Health saying 'hi, here's your coverage card. you are now insured with celticare...' So now, technically, I have two coverages? One from my employer and through Celticare? How does this work? Should I call Celticare and let them know I already have insurance? What benefits are there to having two? Legal or not? Thanks for your help!

Covered California: Naturalization Cert/Cert of Citizenship?!
I'm trying to apply for health insurance through Covered California, and I've reached the "Household" section of their online form. I'm a naturalized citizen. My understanding is that a passport is perfectly valid proof of citizenship, but unfortunately, once I check the "naturalized" radio box, a section pops up prompting me to enter either my naturalization certificate or my certificate of citizenship — neither of which I have, and acquiring which may cost a good chunk of money and also put me past the open enrollment period. How do I get Covered California to accept my passport? Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Thanks! (An extra complication is that I'm not currently in California, though I could probably get my family to act on my behalf if my physical presence is required somewhere.)
