The de- cisions were in favor of the sitting i Democratic lugs and I Hooker. Brigadisr General Benjamin H. Grierson has been placed on the re- tired list. The conference report on the silver bill was then taken up, and Vest stated the reasons why he should vote against the report. A large majority of the Senate had voted, he said, for the free coinage of silver, but the con- ference report absolutely did away with all idea of free coinage, and was intended to continue the system under which sil ver has been persistently de- graded since 1873. He was anxious for the absolute parity between the two metals as money metals; he would like to see the time when sixteen ounces of silver would purchase an 'ounce of gold, and when an ounce of gold would con- tinue as at present to purchase sixteen ounces of silver, fie read, the closing clause of (he second section of the conference bill: It being the estab- lished policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by and asked why that declaration had been inserted, why that stump sjxjech hail been inserted into the stomach of the bill. It had been put in, he said, for the purpose of saying to the Treasury Department that, until Oliver came to a parity with gold, it should pay out gold' and the public business should be conducted on a gold basis. He for one would never vote to maintain and continue that practice; he had never been a "silver man" for the purpose of booming sil- ver or increasing its price; he was against that and all other forms of subsidy. The conference bill might give an increased market for silver, but the principle for which the Senate voted, that the two metals should be on a parity, had been given away on that bill absolutely and completely. Coke expressed a concurrence in the conclusion reached by Vest. He could not support the conference bill. The Satiate conferees had not represented the will of the Senate, which had been declared for the free ami unlimited coinage of silver. On the contrary, they had assented to a bill which pro- vided definitely for a cessation of the further coinage of silver at all; that there was no compulsion on the Secre- tary of tbe Treasury to coin silver after July 1, 1891; that silver coinage was then left to the discretion of the Secretary, and such discretion was equal to stopping the coinage of silver. That was a fact well known and ad- mitted in debate. He was opposed to buying a single ounce of silver not to be cojned. He was opposed to the United States going into the warehouse business for silver or any other product. If silver is not to be coined, why should it be purchased? If the object of the bill was to advance the money power of silver, why should its coinage be stopped when the coinage alone con- ferred upon it the power of money? Two-thirds of the people of the United States, who were in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and an admitted majority in the Senate were shocked at every turn by the -Execu- tive and the Secretary of the Treasury. He proposed to vote against the con- ference bill because he preferred the Jaw as it now stood. Sherman defended and explained the conference report. The question had arisen in the conference commit- tee, he said, whether the two houses could be brought to an agreement on the two bills passed by, them respect- ively. In the first section of the con- ference bill the language of the first section of the House bill had been re- tained the amount ot silver to be purchased had been in- creased, much to his regret; it bad been fixed at a larger amount than the entire American product of silver. It has been made mandatory (not per- missive) on the Sectetary of the Treas- ury to buy four and a half million ounces of silver each month, which, at tbe rate of 29 an ounce, or six- teen to one, would amount to a yearly issue of about seventy millions in treasury notes. Tbe legal tender I clause in tbe Souse bill and the Sen- ate bill have been somewhat _diBerent and somewhat alike also, and the question had come up in the confer- ence w tether it would be right to de- prive citizens of the United States of the right to contract for payments in gold or anything else. It had there- fore been agreed unanimously that the Treasury notes to be issued for silver, like the silver dollar on which they are based, should be legal tender for all debts, public and private, unless where otherwise stipulated in the con- tract. That same clause was to be found in the Bland bill. Stewart Does the Senator from Ohio think there is any danger of the Secretary of the Treasury failing to buy of silver per if he Cart at lesH'ttiari'rtar, as provided in the Act? slightest The Senate cannot legislate on the idea that an officer of the Government will not execute the law. The suggestion has been made about the President and Secretary of the Treasury haunting the Capitol in regard to tho bill. I have not seen either of them, and 1 do not think a single conferee has seen either of them during the con- ference. The President of the United States will do what he thinks it his duty to do under his obligation; as to his seeking to influence me or my seeking to influence him, that is rather beyond the bounds of reason. At 3 o'clock the conference rejwrt on the silver bill went over till to- morrow, and eulogies on the late Rep- resentative Cox of New York were begun. The Senate amendments were con- curred in to the House bill for the admission of the State of Wyoming. On motion of Carey of Wyoming the Senate amendments were concurred in to the House bill for the disposal of abandoned military reservations in Wyoming.______________ Two Average Private By Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, July L.

When Judge Young opened up his court levee at 10 o'clock this morning the cases of Frank Johnson King of and Jack Chapman, both accused of robbery on the premises of Mrs. Moore, were dismissed for want of corroborative evidence. James Cornier was arraigned before the Court for selling whisky to In- diiins an offense that seems to be becoming prevalently epidemic. Mike MoGinnis, for disturbing the peace, was assigned to the cooler for tea days. Joseph Edwards, for vagrancy, was given twenty days for meditation on the character of soil of Reno's streets. Jack Chapman paid, a penalty of fifteen days for indulging in an illicit caso of fisticuffs on the public thor- oughfare. James McDertnott, sentence with- held yesterday, was given eight days for disturbing the peace. Of the two men involved in the cut- ting attack at the Pyramid saloon last Saturday evening, Frank Reilly plead- ed guilty and was jugged for ten days. His partner, Meyers, pleaded not guilty, and the trial of his case was set for 2 o'clock this afternoon. A WILEY LAW-BREAKER On His Way to the Stone House at Carson. The Fourth of July and its expiring hilarity evolved the second case of fel- onous selling of liquor to Indians. On the Natal Day drunken Washoes were carousing around town, and a number of boozy bucks boasted to Constable Upson that they could get all the liquor they wanted. As a result the officer kept his eye peeled and caught James Conner in the act of secretly delivering a fat and bulky flask of the most villainous kind of rotgut to a squuw. His maneuvers were cunning and curious. He followed the squaw down First street near the cala- boose, and, stooping down, hid the flask in a clump of weeds near by. Passing back, he slipped his hand into a pocket of her dress and extracted his recompense for violating ihe law. The officers were keenly watching him and he was quickly calaboosed. Cor- nier claims that this is the first time he has ever dealt out liquor to Indians but the offlcers aver that he has been trading with them tq the extent of over a day, especially on such days as the Fourth. Moving to tbe Kant. It is calculated by residents in dif- ferent parts of Virginia that the firing of guns on the Fourth of July has had the effect of sliding the town from one- half to an inch to tbe East. The cal- culation is based upon doors which when shut, stand east and west. All such doors which were at all close to shut before the Fourth could not be closed after the Fourth. The settling of buildings in many places has also been noticed by the cracking and fall. ing of plaster; also, by the breaking of glass in several firm and cloeelv- fitted windows. Tbe London Oonetables Trying1 to Compromise. How a Bank Panic Wan Htopped. By Cable and Associated Press.] MoNTtviDKO, July is an abatement in the financial panic. In order to stop the rutjon the banks tbo Government issued decree making yesterday a national holiday. One million five hundred thousand dollars in goM is on its way hpre from Buenos Ayres, and it is hoped that upon its arrival the financial distress will be relieved. LONDON, July Times prints a dispatch, dated Buenos Ayres, with reference to the fitmucial crisis in Uruguay. It states that the Uru- guayan Legislature met in a special sesssion on Sunday to consider what course to pursue in view of the sus- pension of specie payment by the National Bank. A bill passed which will be promulgated at once, sanction- ing the suspension of specie payments for six months. This 1ms alarmed the merchants, and a deputation waited upon the Finance Minister. The Min- ister assured the merchants that the Government had no intention of re- sorting to a forced currency. The Government fears the people will not accept the paper currency, but desires to save the National Bank if possible by the present intermediate measure. If Una effort to assist the bank fails, it will probably be forced to liquidate. forfeited hand UrantN. By Associated Press.] WASHINGTON, July the House to-day Payfion explained the general provisions of the bill which proposes to forfeit and restore to the public do- main all public lands wherever sit- uated which have been granted in aid of the construction of railroads where the railroads have not been completed within the specified time. There have been, he said. 37 railroads aided by acts of Congress which had not been completed within the time fixed by Congress. Twelve of these road grants had been forfeited, comprising nearly acres. That left twenty-five roads which had :iot been acted upon, and nine which had been fully com- pleted. Sixteen roads were now un- completed, and the House substitute recommended the forfeiture of all lands lying opposite such portions of j roads as were not now constructed. The estimate was to the effect that the bill would restore acres to the public domaiu. A Wnrmer.

Almost immediately after hitting publish on a round-up of the latest hubbub over plans to build an engineering campus in New York, Betabeat got an intriguing tip from an interested party. Apparently Cornell isn't the only school tapping power players to help their campaign.
"About two weeks ago Stanford hired City Hall 'fixer' Bradley Tusk and his consulting firm Tusk Strategies to seal the deal on this Tech Campus bid," wrote the source. We confirmed the tip with Tusk Strategies, but we needn't have. The Stanford Daily actually reported the hire in a small item in late September, along with the news that the school had also signed up Edelman, the global public relations firm that also represents Wal-Mart.
Mr. Tusk, the man The Observer called Bloomberg's "secret weapon," back in 2010, engineered the mayor's third term reelection in 2009. Coincidentally, Mr. Tusk was also hired by Wal-Mart earlier this year to the lead the corporation's push into New York. The New York Times reported that Mr. Tusk, "is still close to the mayor, a strong supporter of Wal-Mart's campaign."
As Betabeat has previously noted, Mayor Bloomberg also happens to be a fan of Stanford's. In a speech in Palo Alto in March, he said, "We're particularly pleased that Stanford–which has a top-flight engineering school–is considering the idea," of applying to build on city-owned land in New York. Naturally, Mr. Tusk's ties to the current administration will only exacerbate feelings that Stanford has an advantage going into the RFP process.
(For its campaign, Cornell is working with the PR agency BerlinRosen, as well as Suri Kasirer, a former aide to Governor Cuomo and the head of the city's highest-grossing lobbying firm.)
The tipster, who asked to be anonymous, compared Mr. Tusk's capabilities to that of Harvey Keitel's character in a seminal Quentin Tarratino film. "People basically think of him like "The Wolf" from Pulp Fiction," wrote the source. In the movie, the character introduces himself by saying, "I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems." This morning Stanford announced it would be solving the problem of being perceived as an outsider by partnering with both CUNY and City College.
We're still waiting for Stanford to call back, but spokeswoman Lisa Lapin told the Stanford Daily that Mr. Tusk and his agency were serving as strategic consultants, not lobbyists, as per the NYC EDC's instructions. "There's a big difference," a representative for Tusk Strategies told Betabeat over the phone. According to the rules of the RFP process, universities must limit their contact with the city. As we reported last month, however, Stanford reached out to senior staffers at the DOE in a "unprecedented" act of helpfulness to see if they could assist on things like college readiness programs. The DOE declined the offer.
UPDATE: Ms. Lapin called from Stanford and offered some clarification on Mr. Tusk's role, as well as Stanford's partnership with City College, a senior college within CUNY, usually referred to as CCNY.
Ms. Lapin said Tusk Strategies was hired in September and that Mr. Tusk, "came recommended by people who are in New York who are interested in our partnership." As for whether his connection with the administration would sweeten Stanford's proposal, "I couldn't speculate," she said with a laugh.
According to Ms. Lapin, Mr. Tusk was not involved with the decision to work with CCNY. "He had nothing to do with it. Those were truly academic conversations and the person who was point on that collaboration was our dean of engineering, Jim Plummer."
Tusk Strategies was hired because Stanford is at a disadvantage as a non-native. "What we're looking for assistance with is different communities in New York with which we're less familiar," said Ms. Lapin, citing constituencies in labor, education, and business.
Ms. Lapin stressed that that Stanford's partnership with CCNY was entirely unrelated to the potential Roosevelt Island campus. "Our applied science campus proposal is just a Stanford proposal. We're partnering with them on programs, but they're not a partner in the proposal itself," she said. "We're not financing the project with anyone else. We're not building it with anyone else."
She also emphasized that the decision to work with a local institution was related to the demands of the RFP, not getting a leg up in the process. "New York asks us what our involvement will be in the community, it's not in response to anything competitive."
The joint programs with CCNY will "hopefully [include] a very robust one," she said, namely a joint degree "where their best and brightest students could be enrolled in a co-term program where they get their bachelors of science at CCNY and masters of science at Stanford."
Regardless of whether Stanford wins the bid, Ms. Lapin said CCNY and Stanford will be moving forward on an entrepreneurship and innovation program based on a National Science Foundation grant Stanford received this summer. "Our dean and academic officers at CNNY and CUNY realized there were all kinds of things we could do together," she said. "It was far preferable to us than looking for space to rent, say, in an office building somewhere."

Ripoff Report
VerizonNationwide USA
Verizon - Randy - Supervisor Purchased in home connects.The phone echoed and I had to switch back over. Lost phone service for my business for 2 days and was charged $170 for an early termination fee. Months and many hours on the phone later I was told by manager Randy that he called his tech supports and they said the towers are fine in my area. Interesting that when I asked for Randy's last name he couldn't give it to for security reasons. Or maybe that was so he could hang up on me Nationwide
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I switch from a personal account to a business account with Verizon. I was sold these home phone connects. They were to replace the ones I already had through comcast. The sound quality was so bad I could barely understand customers. We then had to switch back to comcast with the same #. For 2 days when calling our business line it woud say this # doesn't exist. Instead of an apology for not being able to provide the service they sold, I recieved a early termination bill for $170. After many hours on the phone being told it would be credited I was put through to manager Randy. Randy would not give me his last name for secury reasons or so hey said. he did tell me he contacted his tech team and stated that the towers around me are fine. So basically to sum up the Verizon experince: Was sold a sevice that didn't work, lost 2 days of business to switch back, lost more then 5 hours of work trying to rectify the situation, paid $170 early termation fee, was pretty much called a liar because there techs said so, and then was cutiously hung up on by Randy. Time to take my business to T-Mobile

Remember that test mule we ran just yesterday, the one we thought might be an S4 Avant? We cross-posted that story to our B8 S4 forum and may have been quickly schooled by a few of our readers. And their theories were solid, solid enough for us to take a second look and likely agree with them.
The spy photographers
We recently visited Audi of America headquarters, coaxed into a visit by news that there was a German spec Audi A4 that had been built as a 2012 package mockup. And while the spec (Premium Plus, S-line bodywork and those 5-spoke wheels) may still be subject to change the most significant difference we saw on the car was its Glacier White Paint that was described
Just an FYI for those watching intently as the Audi Q3 cruises towards its Shanghai premier next week. Seems Audi Germany has launched a Q3 section to their Audi.de website where you can sign up for news and see a few teasers.
Up until now the shots seen were unobstructed but very,very tight on the car... with good quality views so long as you only wanted to see the headlight or the taillight
Here's something you don't see every day... at least we hope you don't. The photo you see above (and more like it after the jumps below) is of a 2002 Audi allroad brought to a New Jersey detailer after the car's owner had experienced a carpet-soaking firewall leak and then parked the poor car for four months. According to Jalopnik, where we found the story, the detailser said the cleanup required special
Hey, you know that actor Jason Statham? Turns out he drives an Audi A8. I know... surprising, right?
It's fair to say that Jason Statham has had his fair share of association with Audi. There were the two guilty pleasure Transporter movies (2 and 3 to be specific, because he drives a Bimmer in 1). There was the Audi chase commercial where Statham rocked a then-new
It pays to know what you're doing behind the wheel. And though we all like to think we do, you never really know until you're put to the test. Case in point is the Portuguese driver of an Audi A4 in the video below. On a fast highway sweeper and just after passing a car, the driver rather masterfully counter
Texasbahn? LoneStarbahn? Doesn't really seem to have the same ring as Montanabahn did... and though Texas isn't moving toward no speed limit as Montana had (sort of) years ago, you have to hand it to the Texas legislature's move to bump the state's highest speed limit to 85.
The theory goes that there's no such thing as a short drive in Texas, where cities aren't exactly as closely positioned as they are in the more highly
This past weekend the 2011 DTM series was officially kicked off with the traditional demonstration and celebration in downtown Wiesbaden. Each year the series closes off the streets of its home town and invites tens of thousands of fans to take part.
The event includes a little bit of everything, from a concert (Natasha Beddingfield played this year) to demonstration
AutoCar dropped a second mix of official Audi design images on their website today. While the first set showed an upcoming R8 GT Spyder, this set shows an idea of what production versions of the Audi A3 will look like when the next-generation car debuts later this year.
Autocar sources suggest that when the A3 goes on sale with 3-door, 5-door Sportback, Cabriolet and
It was likely a foregone conclusion but it would appear that Audi is readying an R8 GT Spyder for the market according to Brit car magazine AutoCar and their proof are a collection of four design drawings (two interior, two exterior, all four available after the jump below).

'RHONJ" Newbies Joe And Melissa Gorga Talk To 'Life & Style' About The Rift With Teresa Giudice
The Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Joe and Melissa Gorga spoke to Life & Style to talk about that out-of-control family fight that aired Monday night on Bravo. The couple, married six years, also talked about their strained relationship with Joe's sister, Teresa Giudice. "I was so upset," Melissa told Life & Style about the overwhelmingly violent battle that went down at her son's christening. "Teresa's never given us any respect. She was being fake, just acting nice for the cameras."
"Teresa is poison. When she heard I was going to be on the show, she flipped. She wants to be queen," Melissa continued.
Apparently Teresa was not pleased when she learned her brother and his wife were joining the cast, and held out on her contract until the 11th hour. And according to Joe, Teresa showed up to the christening just for show. "My sister didn't even want to be there," Joe explained. "She'd just signed her Housewives contract that morning or the day before because she was mad that we were on the show," Melissa added. "I think when Joe and I started making a lot of money is when she really lost it. She was used to being the biggest and the best, and then when I came in, she felt threatened. She doesn't want anyone to one up her. Teresa's fine with you as long as you're one step below."
Read up on more scoop on The Real Housewives Of New Jersey rift after the jump.
During her one-on-one interview Monday night, Melissa pointed out that she and her husband have bills to pay, which are paid on time-a dig at Teresa and her husband Joe, who filed for bankruptcy last year.
PHOTOS: A Few New Additions To The Real Housewives Of New Jersey
There's also a divide when it comes to Joe and Teresa's parents, whom Joe claims are turning against their son because Joe Giudice has his father's ear. "Teresa would tell our parents 'Melissa this,' 'Melissa that' or 'Joey didn't do this,' and my parents have never been the same," Joe told the magazine. "Her husband talks about me to them all the time, too."
Monday night, the cast of RHONJ threw a premiere party at The Brownstone, owned by Albert Manzo (Caroline's husband). Our good friend, Tom Murro from Celebrity Magnet got an exclusive pic of the cake, featuring this season's ladies. Teresa did not attend the party, as she threw her own at Tribeca in Fort Lee, N.J. to celebrate the release of her second cookbook, Fabulicious.
Gorga posed with Posche trainwreck Kim DePaolo and Jerseylicious "star" Tracy DiMarco at The Empire Room in New York City during Mercedes Benz Fashion week February 17th.
Ohhhhh New Jersey.

[ Why TMA Cares About Your Choice | Consumer Protections | Sample Complaint Form | Healthplan Checklist ]
The key to making the right choices lies in understanding the different types of plans and what they cover.
Below is a brief description of the different types of plans offered by Texas insurers and a printable checklist that allows you to evaluate each plan you are considering.
You also should check the report cards offered by government agencies and consumer groups organizations that evaluate health insurers and HMOs.
For more detailed information, check out the links to other resources.
Types of Plans
Most plans fall into one of four basic categories: traditional health insurance, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs), and point-of-service plans (POSs). But there also are differences between plans of the same basic type (for example, not all HMOs are the same), so be sure to read carefully all materials your employer and the health plan provide. In Texas, these plans are regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance.
Traditional Insurance
Traditional health insurance is the most flexible type of health plan because it allows you to choose any doctor you want and to see specialists without first getting approval from a primary care physician or "gatekeeper." However, depending on the plan, certain restrictions may apply. For example, you may need to get the insurance company's approval before checking into a hospital, unless it is an emergency.
With traditional health insurance, you have to spend a certain amount on medical bills each year before your insurance starts to pay. This is called a deductible. After that, you have to pay a portion of each charge, called a copayment. The insurance company pays the rest of the charge based on what it considers reasonable. Many insurance plans protect you from large medical expenses by limiting your total expenses in any given year, called your out-of-pocket expenses. There also may be a cap on total benefits -- a maximum amount the insurance company will pay in your lifetime.
Traditional health insurance is generally more expensive than other types of health plans and may require you to do more paperwork to file claims.
HMO (Health Maintenance Organization)
There are several types of HMOs. Most pay your medical bills only if you go to a physician, clinic, or hospital within their organization (unless it's an emergency or you're out of town). They may require you to choose a primary care physician who will coordinate your care, and you probably will have to get that physician's approval before seeing a specialist. You must get the HMO's approval before entering a hospital or receiving some other kinds of non-emergency care if you want the HMO to pay for it.
Most HMOs do not require that you meet a deductible each year and require only a small copayment (for example, $5 per visit or prescription). The health plan handles most of the paperwork for you.
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)
PPOs are generally less flexible than traditional health insurance plans but more flexible than HMOs. You can see any health care provider you want to (including a specialist), but your copayment is higher if the physician you choose is not a "preferred provider," that is, a physician that the health plan has a contract with.
PPOs almost always require that you get their approval before entering a hospital. But they are more likely to cover checkups and other preventive medical services than traditional health insurance plans. Most preferred providers file claims for you.
POS (Point of Service)
A POS plan is similar to an HMO in that you can see physicians within a network and pay only a small copayment. But you also can see physicians who aren't in the network and pay a portion of the charge, after you've met your deductible, as you would with a PPO plan. A POS plan may have restrictions on the services you can receive outside the network. For example, prescription drugs, organ transplants, treatment for infertility, and mental health services may not be covered.
One way to get good answers is by asking good questions. The Texas Medical Association has prepared a guide to what questions you should ask about your health plan. Our "Essential Elements of a Quality Health Plan" is available as a PDF .
The California Medical Association designed the Health Plan Checklist to help you compare various plans you are considering for you and your family -- or to help you summarize your current plan. You can use the checklist as a tool to examine -- side by side -- important information from plans, including plan deductibles, services, plan coverage, and copayments.
Report Cards
Several governmental and consumer organizations prepare report cards on HMOs and other health insurers.
Office of Public Insurance Counsel (OPIC)
Texas' Public Insurance Counsel represents the rights of the public in insurance matters. The OPIC staff publish an annual report card on HMOs each September.
Texas Health Care Information Collection Center (THCIC)
This council was created in 1995, and is part of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. THCIC's primary purpose is to provide data that will help Texas consumers and health plan purchasers make informed health care decisions. On September 1, 2004 the THCIC joined the Texas Department of Health, the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and part of the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation to form the Texas Department of State Health Services. All functions of THCIC continue in the Center for Health Statistics. THCIC publishesReports on HMO Performance in six regional versions.
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
The NCQA is a private nonprofit organization that accredits plans. It is committed to improving the quality of the nation's health care and accredits plans. NCQA's Health Plan Report Card is based in part on the its evaluation of the quality of care provided by HMOs and on member satisfaction with HMOs' services. The report card can be customized to provide information on the insurers and HMOs you are considering.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
CMS, the federal agency that runs the Medicare program, maintains an extensive interactive Web tool, Medicare Health Plan Compare, that helps you comparison shop for a Medicare HMO.
A number of other organizations offer extensive resources for making choices in health care insurance.
Consumers Union
Consumers Union offers advice on "Choosing a Health Plan ."
Kaiser Family Foundation
The Kaiser Family Foundation offers a primer on the intricate workings of private health insurance. The report, "How Private Health Insurance Works ," ( PDF ) not only describes the differences in types of insurance, but also explains how insurance underwriting works. The report's best feature is its detailed explanation of the regulation of insurance companies and their related organizations. The complexities of government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid are not addressed in the KFF report.
Kaiser Family Foundation also publishes an online guide to handling health insurance disputes with your employer or private health plan.
Texas Department of Insurance
The Texas state insurance agency offers a printed publication and an online version, Your Health Care Coverage, which includes tips for evaluating health care options.
An insurance news website, insure.com contains numerous articles relating to buying health insurance, including insurance for special cases, such as college-age children, single-parent child coverage, and expatriate coverage. The health insurance section also has articles addressing a number of common problems.
California Medical Association
As California's state association for physicians, CMA maintains a section on comparing health plans that is extensive and includes the same comparison checklist as this site.

Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is a wonderful campground. We stayed here for a week in site F12 while my son played baseball at Cooperstown Dreams Park: a short 5 minute drive away. The wooded section of the campground is just amazing. If you are looking for a great spot, I would suggest F9. It is close to the bathhouse (which are extrememly clean, but a little spartan), nice wooded site with lots of privacy. The wooded sites are all leveled with gravel and well thought-out in the layout. Be advised, the wooded sites are a little bit of a hike to the office, laundry and pool, but there is plenty of parking available if you hop in your car. The laundry facilities are very clean and modern, but pretty pricey (about $4 per load to wash and dry). The staff here is just wonderful to work with. Very helpful. We were not able to hook up our satellite TV in the wooded area (due to the trees), but it would have been easy to do in the field sites. Can't comment much on the field sites except they did seem big, but not much privacy with no trees around. All in all, excellent campground for the Cooperstown area. This is what camping should be like!
Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is an older campground with some seasonal campers. However it is very well maintained and the staff is very nice and friendly. I would call the bathrooms "vintage" but they were well kept with just a few daddy long legs to keep me company. We did not use the pool, but my daughter enjoyed the playground. This is a nice shady campground. You will have to go to the office/game room to use Wi-Fi, but all in all, a nice place to spend the night.
