SKorea says US socialite ousted as honorary consul

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? South Korea has decided to revoke an honorary title given to an American socialite tied to the scandal involving former CIA director David Petraeus.

A Foreign Ministry official said Monday that Jill Kelley misused her title as South Korean honorary consul. He wouldn't elaborate.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Kyou-hyun as telling reporters in Washington that Kelley used her title for personal gain.

Kelley had complained to an FBI agent about threatening emails she had received telling her to stay away from Petraeus, who once commanded Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. Petraeus knew Kelley from parties and events around Tampa.

Agents tracked the emails to Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell, who was having an affair with the former general.

Syria rebels say seized key military base near Turkey border

Paula Broadwell had ambitions beyond being the lady who wrote David Petraeus' biography. According to a report in the New York Post's Page 6, Broadwell was trying to leverage her book fame into becoming a TV regular, or an elected official. A source told Page 6 that Braodwell had ambitions of running for office before the scandal broke, but it doesn't say whether it was on a municipal, state or federal level. The interesting note is that she apparently, "had gotten requests from both parties to consider running for office," which, okay. ...

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) ? Sleep away from windows, stock up on food, get the family car off the street ? these are the lessons Gazans have learned in previous rounds of fighting between Israel and the territory's Hamas rulers.

This time, some are adding "change houses" to the list as Israel increasingly targets homes of Hamas activists, making it difficult to guess where missiles might hit. Over the weekend, Israeli airstrikes struck the homes of some two dozen Hamas activists, killing 24 civilians.

For ordinary Gazans, moving sometimes doesn't help.

Pediatrician Sami Dawood moved twice. On Sunday, he evacuated his wife and three children from their high-rise apartment in Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa neighborhood after a missile hit the roof. Fearing Israel would strike the building again, the family moved to the home of his father-in-law near the Palestine Stadium in the center of the city. Early Monday, while the family was asleep, missiles hit the stadium as a suspected rocket-launching site.

"Now we are back home again," said the 40-year-old doctor.

Gaza City housewife Amal Lubbad lives across the street from a house flattened in an airstrike Sunday. The blast, which killed 11 members of the Daloo family, including a Gaza policeman, also blew out the windows of her home.

The 39-year-old Lubbad, her husband and eight children spent a restless night, sleeping on the floor in the room farthest away from the Daloo house, but there was no airstrike.

"We were afraid," she said, adding that the family has nowhere else to go. On Monday, she and her daughters swept up the glass shards as bulldozers in the alley below cleared away the ruins of the Daloo home.

Ola Hani, a 31-year-old mother of four, said that since the last Gaza war four years ago, she's kept a week's worth of food and other supplies in her house. "Even in normal days, I don't touch any of it, only when I have a chance to replace it," she said.

Her stash includes canned food, lentils, rice, milk powder, two small radios and candles. Her husband, a banker, is away in Jordan for a training course, and she asked a friend to drive the family car to another friend's yard, to keep it out of harm's way. The Hani family lives in a high-rise and does not have a parking garage.

At a bakery, bank teller Jibril Alawi bought 250 pieces of pita bread for his clan of 35 ? his immediate family and the wives and children of his four brothers who all live in the same building. He said they take turns going on vital errands to minimize exposure to risk.

Like others in Gaza, the Alawis have moved mattresses into inner hallways and rooms away from windows.

Still, sound sleep is impossible in Gaza these days. The massive booms from the airstrikes, often just minutes apart, rattle windows. The wailing of ambulances and the buzz of unmanned spy planes, or drones, make up the background noise.

Hani said she and her children feel scared when they hear the bombardment.

"But a few minutes after that, we start to cheer and laugh when we see another rocket landing in Tel Aviv," she said of attempts by Hamas to strike Israel's main metropolis.

Photographers in white lab coats hanging around the emergency room of Gaza's largest hospital, Shifa, are part of a different type of Hamas battle: They are members of a Health Ministry team documenting deaths and injuries in the fighting.

The head of the group, Ashraf al-Kidra, keeps journalists updated with casualty figures ? 106 dead as of Monday evening. In the long term, he hopes the information will serve as the basis for possible international legal action against Israel.

"We learned a lesson from the last war," said al-Kidra, referring to Israel's previous major offensive against Hamas targets in Gaza four years ago. Casualty figures at the time were hotly disputed, with Palestinians saying most of some 1,400 people killed were civilians, while Israel gave a lower figure and said most were militants.

In the chaos at the time, many Israeli attacks were not properly documented, al-Kidra said.

Now, he has two-member teams deployed at each of Gaza's 13 hospitals. They work in 12-hour shifts and update him with each new casualty. Equipped with two mobile phones and a walkie-talkie, the former physiotherapist and acupuncturist says he has barely slept since the offensive began Nov. 14.

One of his team members, Alaa Saraj, made the rounds in Shifa's emergency room Sunday. Amal Mattar, 38, was lying on a gurney, her face cut by shrapnel from an airstrike near her home in Tel al-Hawa, the Gaza City neighborhood. Saraj snapped her picture, and a doctor said she would need six stitches.

___

After more than a decade of on-and-off fighting with Israel, Gazans are not easily shaken.

A warning in Arabic by Israel's military that "Hamas is gambling with your fate and playing with fire," delivered Sunday by briefly taking over the frequencies of local radio stations, elicited mostly amusement.

A group of men hanging around a Gaza City taxi office tried to outdo each other in making fun of the warning. "Let's get some warmth from the fire that Hamas is using to burn us," one of them joked.

Hamas appears to have solid popular support for continued rocket attacks on Israel, despite the new hardships it has brought. Many here expressed satisfaction that Israelis should get a taste of the fear Gazans know so well.

Scenes showing Israelis ducking for cover from rocket fire were discussed with relish, and jokes have popped up on social media, including Facebook. In one, an Egyptian broadcaster with a popular music program asks a listener what he would like to hear. Answer: "The sound of the air raid siren in Tel Aviv."

Ice Wireless, Iristel Conclude Trials for Satellite-based Telephone and Internet in Canada's North

IQALUIT, NU, Nov. 9, 2012 /CNW/ - Ice Wireless and Iristel concluded successful trials this week for a new satellite-based telephone and Internet network to be launched in Canada's North. The new network was first demonstrated October 31, 2012 in Iqaluit to members of the Northern Communications and Information Systems Working Group at a Canadian Department of National Defence meeting to discuss challenges with northern infrastructure.

The trials were conducted using SES AMC-9, a 24 transponder C-band satellite whose footprint comfortably covers Nunavut and which is also capable of covering other rural and remote communities in Canada's North.

"This is the first time anyone has field tested an SES satellite in Canada's North," said Samer Bishay, President of Ice Wireless and Iristel. "What we experienced in Iqaluit was absolutely amazing. Our call quality for our fixed line and mobile phone tests was crystal clear, and we demonstrated broadband Internet speeds of 100 Mbits/s on a 2.4 meter dish, which is just as good, if not better, than any other satellite covering the North today. We are thrilled with the results."

Space and earth segment connectivity will be managed by Juch-Tech, a Hamilton-based earth station whose experience in providing reliable and cost-effective Internet solutions to Africa has convinced the company that Northern Canada has fallen behind many of the world's poorest regions in terms of telecommunications service.

"Juch-Tech has already established satellite connectivity across Africa, so we thought to ourselves, why aren't we doing this in our own backyard?" said Walt Juchniewicz, President of Juch-Tech. "Communication is a fundamental necessity in all our daily lives, and Canada's North has fallen behind the rest of the world. Arctic communities, government departments, Canada's military, emergency response agencies, schools, hospitals and residents all deserve to have better telephone and Internet access."

The successful telephone and Internet trials utilized a broad range of technology and related partnerships, including NovelSat modulation technology, XipLink acceleration performance enhancement technology, and Atop HD video streaming and formatting for GSM/IP-based mobile devices. Onsite support was provided by Coman Arctic, a logistics company based in Iqaluit that has worked with Ice Wireless for the past two years to bring competitive telecommunication services to Nunavut.

In light of the successful telephone trials, Ice Wireless is now moving ahead with its roll out of 3G service to Iqaluit in Summer 2013, which will include download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. At the same time, Iristel plans to expand its CLEC footprint to offer a range of telephony services including fixed line home telephone and long distance services.

Established in 2005, Ice Wireless ("ICE") is a telephone and Internet company that provides service to rural and remote communities in northern Canada.

Jindal: Liking people is key to expanding GOP tent

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says the Republican Party needs to go back to basics to attract the broad coalition of voters credited with putting President Barack Obama back in the White House.

Kindergarten basics.

"If we want people to like us, we have to like them first," Jindal said on Fox News Sunday.

Former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has a more nuts-and-bolts approach to bringing in some of the largest and fastest growing groups of Americans: He's forming a super PAC to support Republican candidates who back comprehensive immigration reform, including legalizing the status of an estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. without authorization.

The 2012 elections drove home trends that have been embedded for years in the fine print of birth and death rates, immigration statistics and census charts. Nonwhites made up 28 percent of the electorate this year, compared with 20 percent in 2000, with Hispanics comprising much of that growth. Obama captured a commanding 80 percent of the growing ranks of nonwhite voters in 2012, just as he did in 2008. Republican Mitt Romney won 59 percent of non-Hispanic whites, and although he dominated among white men ? outperforming 2008 nominee John McCain among that group ? he couldn't win.

Republicans have spent much of the time since the election wrestling with ways to appeal beyond their base of white men and married women. Nonetheless, in a conference call to big donors last week, Romney credited Obama's win to "extraordinary financial gifts from government" he said the president gave groups in his base coalition: Latinos, African-Americans and young people.

Both Jindal and Gutierrez backed Romney's bid for the White House, but distanced themselves from his post-election comments.

Jindal, the incoming chair of the Republican Governors Association and a potential presidential candidate in 2016, on Sunday said slighting people simply isn't good politics.

"You don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought. We are an aspirational party," he said.

Jindal said the Republican Party needs to convince voters it is the party of the middle class and upward mobility. Its conservative principles "are good for every single voter" and it "has to campaign for every single vote," he added.

"We also don't need to be saying stupid things," Jindal said, referring to GOP Senate candidates in Missouri and Indiana who lost their races after comments about rape that were widely criticized.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the GOP group's incoming vice chair, said also on Fox News Sunday that governors are key to bringing a diversity of voters to the GOP. Thirty states have elected Republican governors, an indication that "the trust factor is there."

"We've got a message that works for young people, that works for people who come to our country from other countries, and, basically for anyone who wants to live their piece of the American dream," Walker said. "I think that starts with our governors as great messengers."

Gutierrez, who served under President George W. Bush, said the country cannot grow without immigrants and the Republican Party is a natural home for them.

"We are the party of prosperity, of growth, of tolerance," Gutierrez said in remarks taped Friday for CNN's "State of the Union." ''These immigrants who come across, and what they do wrong is risk their lives, and they come here and they work because they want to be part of the American dream. That is what the GOP is."

Gutierrez said he is working with Charlie Spies, who created the largest super PAC supporting Mitt Romney, Restore Our Future, on a super PAC to back candidates that support "a path, a process for legalization of workers who are here undocumented."

"First they have to be legalized," Gutierrez said. "Then you have to find a way to get into a line for the green card. ... There will be requirements. And we'll have to negotiate some sort of requirements."

Gutierrez said Republicans for Immigration Reform is about people from all over the world, including Hispanics, Asians, West Africans and Ethiopians.

"If we get this right... the 21st century is ours," Gutierrez said, referring to the GOP. "If we get it wrong, shame on us."

HIV-Positive Women Benefit from Human Papillomavirus Vaccination

Doctors don't usually advise young women infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, to have the vaccine for human papillomavirus. The thinking is that these women, who are already sexually active, probably have already been exposed to HPV. Therefore, the vaccine is unlikely to do any good.

That approach may be a mistake, according to research published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. ?In the study of HIV-positive women, researchers found that many are not infected with some of the most serious strains of HPV and could still benefit from vaccination.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus. There are many strains of HPV, but four -- types 16, 18, 6 and 11 -- are linked to the development of disease. Types 19 and 19 account for about 70 percent of all cervical cancers while types 6 and 11 cause 90 percent of cases of genital warts. The vaccine protects against those four strains and is recommended for girls before they become sexually active, ages 11 through 26.

MORE: HPV Vaccine Benefits Those Who Do and Don't Get the Shots

The new study, by Dr. Jessica A Kahn, an associate professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, examined 99 HIV-positive women ages 16 to 23 receiving their first HPV vaccination. She found that 75 percent of the women had an existing HPV infection with at least one type, with 54 percent testing positive for a high-risk type. However, when examining the two types that cause 70 percent of cervical cancers (HPV-16 and HPV-18), the researchers found that nearly half of the women had no existing infection with either type and showed no evidence of exposure to them.

"Health care providers may hesitate to recommend HPV vaccines after a girl starts having sex," Kahn says. "However, our results show that for a significant number of young women, HPV vaccine can still offer benefits. This is especially important in light of their HIV status, which can make them even more vulnerable to HPV's effects."

MORE: Doctors Urge HPV Vaccine for Boys

Protection against developing cervical cancer is especially important in these women, she notes, because HIV status increases the risk of cervical cancer and makes it harder to treat.

HPV vaccination has only been available for about six years, and knowledge on the benefits of the ?three-shot series is still emerging. Another study, published this week in the Journal of Infectious Diseases found a significant decrease of HPV prevalence in Australia since that country implemented widespread vaccination.

Women ages 18 to 24 were examined with Pap screening throughout the country in the two years (2005-07) before vaccination became available and in the two years after (2009-10). There was a 20 percent overall decrease in genital HPV prevalence and a whopping 77 percent decrease in the targeted strains -- types 6, 11, 16 and 18 -- following the advent of? the vaccine program.

MORE: HPV Vaccine Found to Have Minimal Side Effects

Moreover, HPV was detected in only 5 percent of vaccinated women in the post-vaccine era compared to 15.8 percent in unvaccinated women in the post-vaccine era and 28.7 percent of women in the pre-vaccine years.

Question: Do you think enough people who are eligible for the HPV vaccine get the shots? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Obama-Boehner 'fiscal cliff' handshake: Could it actually hold?

After a friendly meeting on the ?fiscal cliff?, President Obama shook hands with House Speaker John Boehner. Maybe it?s the holiday spirit, but there?s cautious optimism that bipartisanship might not be dead in Washington after all.

By Patrik Jonsson,?Staff writer / November 17, 2012

President Barack Obama acknowledges House Speaker John Boehner at the White House in Washington Friday as he hosted a meeting of the congressional leadership to discuss the deficit and the economy.

Fresh from reelection, President Obama met Friday with leaders of an unpopular Congress, including House Speaker John Boehner, to discuss how to avoid leaving the most powerful country in the world hanging like Wile E. Coyote off a ?fiscal cliff.?

It was the first such powwow in six months. And as it broke up and members headed out of town for Thanksgiving, Mr. Obama and Mr. Boehner reached across the table for a warm handshake ? a brief grip that seemed to encapsulate an electorate?s cautious hope that a polarized government could strike a deal that raises revenues while downsizing entitlement programs and other spending that have begun to threaten the nation?s solvency.

So, will ? can ? that ?fiscal cliff? handshake hold?

To be sure, the reelection of President Obama sent a powerful message to Republicans, who for the first time since a tea party wave in 2010 yanked the House into a staunch antitax position felt they had room to take a different tack from the corrosive 2011 debt limit standoff that created a set of automatic spending cuts to take effect Jan 1. Along with the looming end to the Bush tax cuts, those spending cuts comprise the ?fiscal cliff? that some fear could plunge the country into recession, or worse.

On the other hand, the election gave Democrats more a deadline than a mandate, a sort of affirmation that Obama?s legacy could well ride on his handling of America?s rough-idling economy.

RECOMMENDED:?Could 'fiscal cliff' push US into recession? Four questions answered.

A lot is at stake over the next few days as staffers begin to work out the details of the outline that Congressional leaders said they agreed to.

For now at least, President Obama is holding to his demand that families earning more than $250,000 chip in more taxes, which he says could bring in $1.6 trillion over the next 10 years.

Speaker Boehner says Republicans are willing to consider additional revenues. Whether he meant new taxes remains unclear. But on its face, the statement indicated a change from the summer of 2011, when a majority of Americans concluded that tea party Republicans were actively seeking gridlock in order to force Democrats toward spending cuts.

?To show our seriousness, we?ve put revenue on the table as long as it?s accompanied by significant spending cuts,? said Boehner.

Commenting on a recent Washington Post-Pew Research poll that shows 53 percent of Americans leaning toward blaming Republicans again if Congress can?t strike a deal with Obama, columnist Froma Harrop notes that, ?Understanding this, thoughtful Republicans are feeling freer to risk the tea partyers? wrath and cooperate with Democrats. The teams may disagree on much, but at least they?re now playing in the same ballpark.?

Texas trucker released from Mexican prison

MEXICO CITY -- A Texas truck driver who says he made a wrong turn into Mexico with a trailer full of ammunition has been released from prison but remains in the custody of immigration authorities, U.S. officials said Friday.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico said that 27-year-old Jabin Bogan was freed from a maximum security prison in the state of Veracruz. It did not say why immigration authorities were holding him, or when he is expected to return to the U.S., but Bogan likely is accused of violating immigration rules when he entered Mexico.

Bogan's family and lawyers declined to comment. He had faced up to 30 years in prison on an ammunition trafficking charge, but the judge reduced the charge to possession of ammunition after testimony from Mexican customs agents contradicted prosecutors' claim that Bogan hid 268,000 bullets under floorboards.

Bogan's mother, Aletha Smith, has told The Associated Press that the truck driver had been ordered to pay a fine in order to be released.

Bogan crossed from Texas into Juarez, Mexico, on April 17.

Agents testified in June that Bogan was trying to make a U-turn back into the U.S. when they found the ammunition bundled on top of wooden pallets inside the trailer.

Since then, Bogan's lawyers and family in the U.S. have cried foul, saying the ammunition charge was too hefty for what they claim was an honest mistake.

Bogan had made two deliveries in El Paso, Texas, and said he was supposed to drive to Phoenix to deliver assault rifle ammunition to a wholesaler there when he got lost. He said he took a wrong exit on the freeway and drove toward the border, where he said a law enforcement official told him to continue driving across the bridge. Bogan said that when he realized he had crossed into Mexico, he attempted to turn back, but the layout of the traffic lanes prevented him from returning without first crossing into the truck inspection area in Juarez.

Bogan's attorneys have said surveillance footage taken at the border crossing shows Bogan blocking several lanes of southbound traffic for more than half an hour while trying to maneuver his 18-wheeler back to U.S. soil.

Mexican prosecutors alleged he tried to clandestinely smuggle bullets commonly used by drug cartels.

Samsung Galaxy Camera review: a 21x compact shooter brought to life by Android

There were no heckles, boos or crickets for Samsung's reps back at IFA. But it's fair to say that the atmosphere following its unveiling of the Galaxy Camera was as muted as it was polite. It didn't help that most journalists in that meeting room were there primarily to see the Galaxy Note II, which was undoubtedly the show's headline act. It was also worrisome that Nikon had recently released a half-hearted Android camera of its own -- the Coolpix S800c running on lowly Gingerbread. And finally, some folks in the room -- ourselves included -- may have been put off by Samsung's talk of "convergence," in reference to the fact that the Galaxy Camera has a micro-SIM slot for HSPA+ cellular data. After all, the whole notion of converged hardware has lost the sheen it once had. Hybridized, perhaps. Modular, maybe. But please, not a camera-phablet.

Here's the thing, though: the Galaxy Camera is not a converged device. It's a camera, plain and simple. It just happens to be one that's hooked up (in a multitude of ways) to the glorious world of Android. More specifically, we're looking at full-throttle Jelly Bean sitting astride the same optically stabilized 21x zoom lens and almost half-inch 16-megapixel sensor that have already been deployed in Samsung's WB850F WiFi camera. These are components which far exceed anything you'd find in even the most image-conscious smartphone. If you want to put a label on it, it's probably more meaningful to describe all this as software convergence. The same OS and cloud-connected apps that have so radically transformed phones, tablets and TVs are now also being deployed in a camera -- and there's no reason why they shouldn't be just as invigorating in this new role. At the very least, don't dismiss this device as a curiosity until you've read our take on it.

Gov. Bentley says Alabama won't set up exchange, expand Medicaid

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Gov. Robert Bentley, in a show of continued resistance to the Affordable Care Act,? said this afternoon that he will not set up a state health care exchange and he will not expand Medicaid under the federal healthcare overhaul.

"I will not set up a state exchange in Alabama," Bentley said during a speech to the Birmingham Business Alliance.

States have a Friday deadline to inform the? U.S. Department of Health and Human Services? if they plan to set up a state-run exchange, essentially a marketplace for people and businesses to shop for insurance. If states don't set up their own exchange, either alone or in federal partnership, then the federal government will step in and design it.

Bentley said he has been in communication with other governors? -- including peers in Texas, Florida and Louisiana -- about the exchange decision.? He expected multiple governors to show a united front of resistance to the Affordable Care Act.

"If we stand together, I do believe Congress is going to have to look at this again,"Bentley said.?

Bentley said he expected other governors to announce similar decisions.?

"That will send a clear signal to all of our elected leaders in Washington that the health care bill should be changed," Bentley said.

Bentley questioned the constitutionality of the the federal government stepping in and setting up essentially a state agency through a federally designed exchange.? Oklahoma has filed a lawsuit alleging that it is unlawful for the federal government to establish an exchange within a state, Bentley noted.

"We believe the federally facilitated system they will try to set up, we believe that is unconstitutional," Bentley said.

Bentley said a state study commission had estimated previously that a state exchange would cost up to $50 million annually to operate. He said the state cannot afford that. The commission estimated that the cost to operate an exchange in 2015 would range between $34 million and $49.6 million.

The exchanges -- whether run by the state or the federal government --? are supposed to be in place by 2014.

Bentley said he will also refuse to expand Medicaid as it currently exists under the Affordable Care Act. The expansion would have been paid for almost entirely by the federal government, but Bentley questioned the long-term cost to both the state and nation.

"I will not expand Medicaid as it exists under the current structure because it is broken," Bentley said."We just can not afford it. The people of America can not afford it."

Bentley, who is a doctor,? said his decision to resist the Affordable Care Act was based on a difference of philosophy, not politics.

"It is, in my opinion, truly the worst piece of legislation that has ever been passed in my lifetime," Bentley said of the ACA.

Senate Minority Leader, Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, criticized the governor's decision on both the exchange and Medicaid expansion.

"It's a total shame. It's a complete failure of leadership by the Republican supermajority. What this means is Washington will run Alabama's healthcare system not Alabama," Bedford said.

Bedford said the state should also grab an opportunity to expand Medicaid with the federal government picking up most of the tab.

"There are 350,000 people that could get preventive care rather then showing up in an emergency room," Bedford said.

Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, R-Auburn, said he applauded Bentley's "principled stand against Obamacare." Hubbard said implementing the Affordable Care Act would bloat government and put Alabama on a path to "fiscal disaster."

"The governor is in discussions with roughly two dozen of his counterparts in other states to coalesce against Obamacare and push back against its mandates. It's my hope that this coalition can send a wake-up call to Washington and reverse the dangerous trend of liberal policies and directives that Obama and Congressional Democrats are pushing so hard to implement," Hubbard said.

An advocacy group for low-income families expressed disappointment in Bentley's decisions.

"We're disappointed that the governor would close these doors for now. We think Alabamians deserve as good a deal from healthcare reform as folks in other states are getting, " Jim Carnes, communications director for Arise Citizens' Policy Project.

In Alabama about 351,000 people, including 244,804 previously uninsured,? would? join Medicaid under an expansion, according to 2010 estimates from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.

The suggested expansion would open Medicaid to adults younger than 65 with an income of less than 133 percent of the federal poverty level, which would be $14,856 for individuals and $30,657 for a family of four. The federal government would pay 100 percent of the cost of services for new enrollees for the first three years, but that eventually would drop to 90 percent.

?"This offers us the opportunity to get hundreds of thousands who have no healthcare into preventive care. These are working people. They work in industries we all utilize every day -- restaurants, construction," Carnes said.

Bentley said people had assumed that after the election, the ACA could not be stopped.

"They're wrong," Bentley said.

He said the two key portions of the law are the Medicaid expansion and the exchanges.

"If we have a large enough number of states who refuse to do it, it is going to be very difficult for them," Bentley said.

Timeshares The Good The Bad And The Ugly

Timeshares are based on the concept of fractional ownership in a property. You can purchase one month,then you own 1/12 of the unit. Other buyers will purchase the remaining fractions. When you purchase one week at a timeshare condominium each year, you own 1/52 portion of the unit.

There are two general programs:

• Deeded ? You purchase an ownership interest in the property.
• Non-Deeded ? You lease the right to use the property for a specific amount of time each year for a pre set number of years.

From there, the various ownership structures become more complex. Some properties operate on points systems. These are often referred to as ?vacation clubs?. With these, you purchase a specific number of points that can be redeemed at a variety of destinations.

Some plans let you ?bank? unused points. You can purchase a fixed week, which means that you own the right to use the unit during the same week each year, or you can purchase a floating week, which generally gives you the right to use the property during a predetermined period of time.

Timeshare properties can often feature larger and more luxurious accommodations than standard hotels and are generally located in desirable places.

The pitch timeshare sales people use to convince consumers to purchase billions of dollars worth of timeshares each year. How would you like to have a wonderful vacation in a beautiful location at a reasonable price? Would you like to repeat that vacation every year?

When you are standing in a beautiful condominium overlooking the perfect beach and sparkling blue water, it is easy to succumb to the sales pitch. Remember, timeshare salespeople are in the business of selling. But just because they tell you that you are getting a great deal, doesn?t mean that you really are.

Before you buy, take some time to research the property and talk to other timeshare owners. Don?t make your decision in haste and never let the salespeople rush you.

I would suggest that you go back to your home and think about it before you jump in and buy. Banks will not give you a mortgage to purchase timeshares. ?People either pay for their timeshares by going into their saving?s accounts or use their lines of credit.

Look for my next article where I will discuss what owners can expect for their money when they invest in timeshares.
