Anthem Blue Cross Of California Medicare Supplement
More On This Topic: Bulkquip Submitted by: Dennis Jarvis Anthem Blue Cross of California has a been a dominant fixture in the California health insurance market for decades now and their participation in the California Medigap market is no exception. One of the key concerns when shopping for Medicare supplement plans is a carrier’s strength and stability in the market since the purchase can echo decades into the future. Anthem Blue Cross definitely looks good in this light since they are one of the original providers of Medigap plans and can be considered as a leader in the market. Let’s dig a little deeper into their participation, pricing, and plan design in the California market. In most states, Blue Cross and Blue Shield are the same company. California, as always, is very unique in that the two are separate companies for the individual, family, small group, and Senior medigap markets.…
Minnesota oil pipeline explosion and fire kills two
Friday, November 30, 2007 A major oil pipeline in Minnesota exploded and caught fire, killing two workers. The pipeline carries oil from Saskatchewan, Canada to close to Chicago, United States, representing 16% of America’s total oil imports. The section of the pipe that exploded was undergoing maintenance at the time to address a pinhole leak first identified three weeks earlier, and patched at the time with a metal sleeve. On Wednesday, the entire section was removed and replaced with a new one. When oil was reintroduced on Thursday morning, oil leaked where the new section joined the pre-existing pipe, triggering the fatal explosion. The fire was extinguished later the same day. The line is split between four separate pipes. After the explosion, all four pipes were shut down, resulting in the global price surge, but this subsided for the most part after it became clear that the three undamaged pipelines…

Here are a few tips and suggestions on how to modify your favorite 4-6 serving recipes when you find yourself cooking for a crowd of 20 or more. What constitutes a crowd?

Objective Tinnitus A Quick Review
More On This Topic: Forearm X Ray Anatomy Tinnitus is generally classified into either objective tinnitus or subjective tinnitus. The latter is more common. It is described as the tinnitus that cannot be heard by others, which means that only the sufferer can listen to the noise and sounds produced by tinnitus.
