Buying or selling a time-share? Read this first
How is a time-share like a marriage? They're both easier to get into than out of.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
I've never owned a new car because I can't stand the thought of buying something that's going to drop in value by thousands of dollars the instant I own it.
But from what I learned while researching this story, buying a new car could be a smart purchase compared with a time-share. Why? Because time-shares can depreciate even faster.
This story started with an e-mail from a viewer. Here's the gist: "I'm trying to get rid of my time-share. The only help I see is those places that want to charge me hundreds of dollars just to list it. We're barely making our home mortgage payments now. Can you help?"
To see how I answered this question, check out the following TV news story called "4 tips to sell a time-share fast." Then meet me on the other side for more.
While that story was about how to sell a time-share, if you're considering a time-share purchase, you should also be interested. Why? Because when you visit some of the sites that list time-shares and see how much they're selling for versus the original cost of that timeshare or something similar, you might change your mind. And even if you don't, these sites might convince you to bypass the time-share developer "showroom" and markup by buying one pre-owned from a private party.
For additional information, read this story about selling time-shares from the Timeshare Users Group. It's got a lot of great information, including something they put in bold and in red: "Never pay an up-front fee in an effort to sell your Timeshare!" It also tells you how to market your time-share, what to do if you owe more on your time-share than it's worth, and how to transfer the title when you find a buyer. Another place for information on selling time-shares is eBay's guide to time-share sales. Both articles should prove interesting to prospective buyers too, since you'll want to know what an exit strategy might look like.
One of the things you saw emphasized in my news story, and you'll also find in honest articles about selling time-shares, is that you really need to approach a sale with low expectations. Many time-shares don't have much of an active aftermarket, which means there aren't a lot of buyers. Fewer buyers translates into lower values. So if you're a seller and borrowed most of the money to buy your time-share, you might have to pay off part or all of your loan to get out of it -- not a pretty picture. That should also tell potential buyers something: This isn't a purchase you'd want to finance, especially if there's any chance you may have to sell down the road.
- Timeshare Users Group listings (Note: Buyers, check out the Bargain Basement listings with deals for as low as $500.)
- Redweek time-share listings
- My Resort Network
- TransAction Timeshares
- eBay time-share sales
But that's not all. When I set out to shoot this story, the first thing I did was attempt to find a time-share reseller who would talk to me on camera. That shouldn't have been difficult since I live in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. But despite hours of phone calls, I couldn't.
I found one guy who advertised himself as a pre-owned-time-share specialist, but when I called him, he said he no longer did it, nor would he even talk about it on TV. What he told me, however, was that he couldn't make a living selling pre-owned time-shares because most weren't worth enough to provide him with a large enough commission. Then he bent my ear for nearly an hour berating the people who developed and sold time-share properties, the state laws that allowed unsuspecting consumers to be hoodwinked by high-pressure salesmen into radically overpaying for them, and even Web sites promising to market your time-share only after receiving hundreds of dollars in upfront fees.
The only other person I was able to speak with was the owner of one of the Web sites the former salesman was talking about -- one that charges a $300 upfront marketing fee. This guy also wouldn't talk on camera. When I asked him why, he said he didn't trust the media to tell a positive story (go figure) and that he couldn't really defend sites like his anyway because they don't work. In other words, a man who makes his living charging people to list their time-shares on his site admitted to a reporter that very few of his customers actually sell them that way.
In case you're not familiar with consumer news reporting, let me tell you: These are not good signs. When business owners in any industry are unwilling to talk about their businesses on camera, those are ones I wouldn't want to approach as a consumer.
Bottom line? While some buildings, locations and time slots will prove more marketable than others, time-shares are a lot easier to buy than sell.
I'll stop short of saying you should never buy a new time- share because the world is a big place, people's appetites vary widely and there are always exceptions to every rule. In fact, I'm sure there are timeshares that have gone up in value. But personally, if I ever decide to buy a time-share, I'll make sure I never intend to sell it and I won't expect much if I do. I certainly won't finance it, and I will try to buy it pre-owned from a Web site like those above rather than paying top dollar to a developer.

Student Loan Comparison Sites
The following student loan comparison sites and directories of education lenders may accept paid placement for their listings. The loans may initially be ranked according to criteria that maximize profit to the directory and not necessarily criteria that minimize cost to the borrower. Some of the least expensive loans may be excluded from such directories because the lenders may be unwilling to pay for placement.
Some of the directories rank loans by the best advertised rates or average rates, as opposed to the actual rates. These comparisons are of limited utility, since few borrowers obtain the best advertised rates. Advertised rates are not necessarily predictive of the actual rates offered to typical users, so the prospective borrower cannot rely on the information provided by the site. You still have to shop around.
Best Student Loan Comparison Sites
The most useful student loan comparison sites need to satisfy the following minimal standards:
To date, none of the loan comparison sites satisfy all of these standards, although all satisfy some of them.
Student Loan Comparison Sites (Live)
The following student loan comparison sites are live and list more than one lender. The student loan marketplaces built by Overture Technologies are listed first because they come closest to satisfying all of FinAid's criteria. The other student loan marketplaces are listed in alphabetical order.
Overture Technologies has built student loan marketplaces that allow borrowers and cosigners to compare private student loans from multiple lenders based on actual personalized rates and terms, not "as low as" teaser rates. Credit reports are pulled only once to minimize the impact on credit scores, and only shared with the lenders selected by the prospective borrower. The loan listings can be sorted by total cost, APR and monthly payment. Overture Technologies operates student loan marketplaces in partnership with several state nonprofit organizations. Overture Technologies also operates a student loan marketplace under its own brand for students in other states, the Overture Student Loan Marketplace. The state student loan marketplaces include:
ElmSelect is a school-specific tool that lists the college's preferred lender list. The loan comparison information does not include repayment examples and is unstructured, without consistent information about all lenders. It also does not adequately distinguish between federal and private loans. ELMSelect is owned by ELM Resources, a not-for-profit mutual benefit company established by federal education lenders, guarantors and servicers.
Graduate Leverage offers a loan comparison tool called Insight that ranks FFELP lenders according to "effective APR", which takes into account the industry-wide or school-specific likelihood of qualifying for a loan discount. They provide comparisons for Stafford, PLUS, consolidation and private student loans. Their undergraduate site is called Collegiate Leverage. For more information, call 1-781-547-4100 (1-888-350-8488 graduate students, 1-877-552-9910 undergraduate students, 1-877-552-9904 financial aid administrators), fax 1-813-249-9039, write to Graduate Leverage, 880 Winter Street, Suite 320, Waltham, MA 02451 or send email to email@example.com.
Greentree Gazette provides a student loan buying guide that provides comparisons for Stafford, PLUS, Consolidation and Private student loans. The interest rates and fees listed are the "lowest possible" taking all possible discounts into account. As such they do not reflect the actual cost experienced by most borrowers.
SimpleTuition offers loan comparison tools for Stafford, PLUS, Consolidation and Private education loans. The private student loans include both school-certified and non-school-certified loans. The results are initially in random order, but with the paid placement lenders ("Simple Tuition Partners") listed first. Prospective borrowers may have to take an action to see an expanded list of lenders or to sort the loans. Ranking by cost is based on best advertised rates, not actual rates. The expanded list of lenders appears to be limited to larger well-known lenders. Most Simple Tuition partners are listed with a logo, bold type, and an Apply button. No contact information is listed for the other lenders. For more information, call 1-617-630-1009, write to SimpleTuition Inc., 255 Washington Street, Newton, MA 02458, or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student Lending Analytics provides star ratings for private student loans for undergraduate students. They do not receive any compensation from lenders for the ratings or referrals.
Student Loan Network provides a list of six private student loan programs without any analytical comparison of the loan programs. The comparison chart does not list interest rates side-by-side or provide any kind of feature-by-feature comparison.
TuitionBids is a startup firm that plans on offering a common application form for federal (Stafford and PLUS) and private education loans. Up to 6 lenders will submit bids for the prospective borrower's loans. It bases initial "bids" on the prospective borrower's approximate rating of his/her own credit history, but displays only the best and worst rates. Prospective borrowers can also supply their social security number for more precise bids, where each lender will be pulling a credit report. Bids are not immediate. For more information, call 1-866-289-9566 or 1-201-301-6000, fax 1-201-301-6001, or write to TuitionBids.com, 180 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 07632.
Tuition Management Systems (TMS) BorrowSmart is a tuition payment plan. On their web site they include a school-specific loan comparison tool. The comparison tool displays monthly payments for each lender, but is a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison since it allows each lender to specify a different loan term. TMS is owned by First Marblehead.
Comparison Chart
The following comparison chart highlights key differences among the various loan comparison tools. Loan comparison sites that are not yet live are listed at the end of the table.
Loan Comparison Sites (Not Yet Live)
The following loan comparison sites are either not yet live or refer borrowers to a single lender.
College Advance LLC is a startup firm that plans on offering a loan comparison tool called Student Loan Scout for private student loans based on actual rates. In effect the prospective borrower will submit a single credit application which will be used to obtain actual interest rate and fee offers from lenders instead of just the advertised best rates. [According to the company web site, launch of Student Loan Scout has be put on hold due to the credit crisis.]
College Loan Market LLC is a startup firm that plans on offering a loan comparison tool for private student loans based on actual rates. In effect the prospective borrower will submit a single credit application which will be used to obtain actual interest rate and fee offers from lenders instead of just the advertised best rates.
eStudentLoan Inc. previously offered a loan comparison tool called LoanFinder that displayed matches with up to a half dozen loan programs. Comparisons were based on the best advertised rates and fees ("as low as"), not actual rates, although one can also look at worst case rates and fees ("up to") by clicking on the lender logo. They are owned by Goal Financial, an education lender. Currently, however, the site refers visitors to a single lender. For more information, send email to email@example.com.

Duration: 1 hour
China - the superpower the world fears, but few really know. Ken Hom, the godfather of Chinese cuisine, and Ching-He Huang, leading chef of the contemporary generation, together undertake an epic 3000-mile culinary adventure across China - not only to reveal its food, but its people, history, culture and soul.
In the final leg of their culinary adventure across China, Ken and Ching make an emotional return to their ancestral homes, the climax of their entire journey, before reuniting for their final meal in Hong Kong.
They start first in the dim sum capital Guangzhou to explore the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, the food most familiar to the west, before heading their separate ways. Ching travels across the south China sea to Taiwan where her food journey began at her grandmother's knee, while Ken cooks for relatives he hasn't seen for more than 23 years.

ONTARIO -- Junior guard Lacy Haddock played perhaps his finest all-around game this season, scoring 23 points with seven rebounds and six assists as the Coyotes fought back and earned an 86-82 non-conference victory over Azusa
Pacific at the Coyote Holiday Classic at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
Haddock earned his most productive scoring output as the Coyotes improved their winning streak to five games and are 5-1 overall heading into their Dec. 30 game at UC San Diego.
The Coyotes found themselves down throughout most of the first half and trailed by 13 with 16:51 remaining in the game.
Reserve guard Jamari Simmons keyed a 10-0 run with two 3-pointers as the Coyotes cut the Cougars' lead to 52-49 with 13:44 remaining.
Simmons later tied the game at 58-58 at 9:54 with another three as that opened a 16-3 run over the next four-plus minutes.
But thanks to the efforts of APU's Troy Leaf, the Cougars would not go away. Leaf scored 12 of his game-high 30 points in the next three minutes and teammate B.J. Porter hit a 3-pointer that tied the game at 80-80 with 1:16 left.
On the Coyotes' next possession, Haddock brought the ball down and attempted a sweet, rainbow shot from 17 feet that roped the net and gave the Coyotes the lead for good at 82-80 with 45 seconds left.
CSUSB then hit four free throws down the stretch for the win.
Haddock was 8-of-12 from the floor with two 3-pointers and four free throws. He shared team-high rebound honors with senior Kwame Alexander.
Junior guard Brian Goins had 18 points, hitting 7 of 15 and had four assists with three steals.
Simmons was outstanding from outside as he scored 19 points off the bench with a career-high five 3-pointers as CSUSB hit 10-of-20 from 3-point land.
Alexander had 10 points in 22 minutes off the bench.
Both teams shot 50 percent from the floor. The Coyotes forced 17 APU turnovers and converted 25 points off turnovers.
Women's Basketball
Cal State San Bernardino had its way with Hope International on Tuesday afternoon, earning a 70-42 victory in non-conference women's basketball at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
The Coyotes improved to 4-3 overall and is off until Dec. 30 when they play at UC San Diego.
Senior Kristen Huffman and junior Tayllor Gipson each scored 16 points as the Coyotes were in complete control early in their game against the Royals. The Coyotes built a double-digit lead just 4 1/2 minutes into the contest and allowed the lead to drop below single digits just once.
CSUSB defended well in the second, giving up just 15 points and seven field goals.
Freshman Alexcia Mack had 10 points with six assists and four rebounds. Sophomore Briana Baker had 10 points with five rebounds.
Freshman Adriana Brodie pulled down 12 rebounds, including six on the offensive end.
The Coyotes did a nice job of distributing the ball as they finished with 17 assists.
Andrina Rendon led HIU with 13 points.

DUDE, WHERE'RE MY SATELLITES? What is humanity's most distant spacecraft? Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 now holds that distinction at 17.5 billion kilometers from the Sun. That corresponds to 16 light-hours or 117 Astronomical Units (AU). This graphic shows the position of Voyager 1 relative to the outer solar system (top and side views) along with other distant spacecraft contenders. Next most distant, Pioneer 10 is about 15.4 billion kilometers from the Sun, though on the opposite side of the solar system from Voyager 1. Voyager 2 and Pioneer 11, both also well beyond the orbit of Pluto, are 14.2 billion and 12.4 billion kilometers from the Sun respectively. Still outbound for Pluto, the New Horizons spacecraft is presently 3 billion kilometers from the Sun and will encounter the Pluto system in July of 2015. All these spacecraft have used sling-shot style gravity assist maneuvers to increase their speeds through the outer solar system. Voyager 1 is moving the fastest though, escaping the solar system at about 17 kilometers per second. Still operational, both Voyagers are headed towards the outer boundary of the solar system, in search of the heliopause and the beginning of interstellar space.

Serotonin: The Happiness Chemical
If there's one thing you enjoy (and really there is) it's a good dose of serotonin right between your synapses. Serotonin is typically known as the chemical that keeps you happy and is the target for most antidepressants whose role is to keep it lingering in your brain for longer. As such it's a good idea to eat lots foods such as bananas are turkey which are rich in tryptophan, the precursor molecule for serotonin.
However serotonin has a few other roles to play, in fact 90% of serotonin present in your body is found in intestinal cells and regulates intestinal movements. A quality that is exploited by harmful bacteria (and many seeds) who secrete serotonin to trigger diarrhea. Serotonin is also the component of insect bites that causes pain but thankfully is also key in blood clotting.
What is a hypercube (also referred to as a tesseract) you say! Well, let's start with what you know already. We know what a cube is, it's a box! But how else could you describe a cube? A cube is 3 dimensional. Its 2 dimensional cousin is a square.
A hypercube is just to a cube what a cube is to a square. A hypercube is 4 dimensional! (Actually— to clarify, hypercubes can refer to cubes of all dimensions. "Normal" cubes are 3 dimensional, squares are 2 dimensional "cubes, etc. This is because a hypercube is an n-dimensional figure whose edges are aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length. A tesseract is specifically a 4-d cube).
Another way to think about this can be found here:
Start with a point. Make a copy of the point, and move it some distance away. Connect these points. We now have a segment. Make a copy of the segment, and move it away from the first segment in a new (orthogonal) direction. Connect corresponding points. We now have an ordinary square. Make a copy of the square, and move it in a new (orthogonal) direction. Connect corresponding points. We now have a cube. Make a copy and move it in a new (orthogonal, fourth) direction. Connect corresponding points. This is the tesseract.
If a tesseract were to enter our world, we would only see it in our three dimensions, meaning we would see forms of a cube doing funny things and spinning on its axes. This would be referred to as a cross-section of the tesseract. Similarly, if we as 3-dimensional bodies were to enter a 2-dimensional world, its 2-dimension citizens would "observe" us as 2-dimensional cross objects as well! It would only be possible for them to see cross-sections of us.
Why would this be significant? Generally, in math, we work with multiple dimensions very often. While it may seem as though a mathematican must then work with 3 dimensions often, it is not necessarily true. The mathematician deals with these dimensions only mathematically. These dimensions do not have a value because they do not correspond to anything in reality; 3 dimensions are nothing ordinary nor special.
Yet, through modern mathematics and physics, researchers consider the existence of other (spatial) dimensions. What might be an example of such a theory? String theory is a model of the universe which supposes there may be many more than the usual 4 spacetime dimensions (3 for space, 1 for time). Perhaps understanding these dimensions, though seemingly impossible to visualize, will come in hand.
Carl Sagan also explains what a tesseract is.

The largest virus yet discovered has been isolated from ocean water pulled up off the coast of Chile.
Called Megavirus chilensis, it is 10 to 20 times wider than the average virus.
It just beats the previous record holder, Mimivirus, which was found in a water cooling tower in the UK in 1992.
Scientists tell the journal PNAS that Megavirus probably infects amoebas, single-celled organisms that are floating free in the sea.
The particle measures about 0.7 micrometres (thousandths of a millimetre) in diameter.
"It is bigger than some bacteria," explained Prof Jean-Michel Claverie, from Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.
"You don't need an electron microscope to see it; you can see it with an ordinary light microscope," he told BBC News.
What We Recycle
In conclusion: We really need to work on that ratio..

#5 Air Jordan 11 Black/True Red
Rounding out our top 5 is the black and red Air Jordan 11. The sneaker is one of the most recognized Air Jordan models of all time. The shoe was Jordan's primary option in his run towards his 4th NBA Championship during the 1995-96 NBA season. While the four sneakers ahead of it hold a slight edge in terms of prestige and value there is no denying this sneakers place in Air Jordan history. The shoe highlights everything a great Air Jordan should be beginning with color scheme all the way to the flashiness. Since it's first release in 1995, the sneaker has been rereleased twice and can fetch atleast $250 for a deadstock pair.

Fish for a cure at MS walleye tourney
Get out on Lake Erie for a day of fishing and help people with multiple sclerosis by signing up for the MS Walleye Fishing Tournament on June 6. Get a group of six friends, customers or co-workers to fill a boat. The fully stocked boat will set sail from the Midway Marina in Port Clinton.
Join more than 150 anglers as they participate in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's 23nd annual Walleye Fishing Tournament. The anglers are treated to a continental breakfast before heading out to fish aboard a charter boat with a licensed charter boat captain at the helm. Each boat is stocked with food, beverages, bait and ice.
When the participants return in the afternoon, they take part in a light dinner and win some great prizes while their catch is being cleaned and bagged for them to take home. Prizes are awarded for first, second and third place for largest fish and stringer.
The cost for a boat with six people is $1,200. Individual tickets are also available for $250. After May 30, the price for a boat will increase to $1,300 and individual tickets will no longer be sold.
The money raised through the MS Walleye Tournament helps more than 20,000 Ohio residents living with multiple sclerosis. Funds are directed toward services like transportation, durable medical equipment loan, friendly-visitation programs for those who are homebound or hospitalized, and self-help groups. Funds also support research efforts at Ohio institutions like the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and The Ohio State University Medical Center where MS researchers are working to find the cause and a cure for the disease.
Join Presenting Sponsor Shamrock Companies, Inc., and other participants as they search for the elusive "big catch" all while fishing for a cure. For information, call Tony Bernard at 614-515-4608 or visit www.MSohiobuckeye.org.e.org.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Apoligies for the possible attack I am about to make.
WoW.com does alot of good stuff, and I appreciate that a website such as this takes alot of effort to run and organise. The phyiscal threats that you mentioned towards WoW.com staff were indeed to far although I don't know if you recieved these by e-mail or the comments were deleted on the old thread. Im not saying "SS or it didnt happen" but I guess your word is good enough for this front.
Now I've done sucking up about time I got to the meat. Dropping the drama section is a bad dacision. Period. You might say that a few vocal people aren't a majority but you know as well as the rest of us that the internet is full of silents that will never or very rarely post an opinion are make them known past the "whos logged on" box. For me it comes down to a simple argument. If people don't like the drama that was in this section, then don't read it. The sections are clearly set out in big bold lettering so getting past it only requires a couple of mouse scrolls. Possibly a bad example, but do you read the horoscopes in your daily paper? I'm yet to met someone that doesn't just skip past it. But I bet the paper keeps it in anyway because a small majority like it. You say people can go to other places to get a drama fix, seems rather silly to be taking away something that gives wow.com it's varaity. So yeah, sorry lisa, but like the class specific threats Im just gonna skip past this article, and I urge everyone else to do the same from now on if you want drama back.
Please don't patronise us with statistics we are not aloud to see or know. It only frustrates us more. It feels like you know what's better for us and your protecting us somehow. Unless these statistics are a fabrication, which I severely doubt. Although if they are you are just digging yourself a bigger hole. If people just skip past this article that just want drama, then maybe these statistics will shed a much clearler light on the drama/dramaless argument.
I was going to mention something as the real reason I thought a week ago you started halting the drama. I'll not post it in fear of causing a flame war, but was something a about the political correctness brigigade gaining yet more stupid ground but i'll leave my thoughts on that depending on a reply to this, if I even get a reply.
BREAKING NEWS: Dickhead ninjas loot, empties guild bank and moves to a new server.
I mean, how many times you can vary this theme and still keep it interesting? FOX News notwithstanding, how often does any news outlet repeat the same old story ad nauseum?
Statistics be damned! Just come right out and say "we don't feel like writing about some slopehead who hasn't got the home training necessary to keep his own ass clean." I am behind you 100%. This is YOUR publication. Nobody plunking into this comment section pays you. Do what you think is write (sic) and you will win followers with your integrity.

Your day.
This day.
My favorite daydream.
Every day is a new beginning…
One day…
RIP Whitney Houston.
You make me feel…
Dear future girlfriend #35
I feel inspired to write; so I thought I'd have a go at writing a poem for you. The distance between us is getting closer and closer. Knowing that makes me happy.
Another Day Gone
Another day gone,
as the sun goes down,
and the stars come out,
I find myself stuck between four walls,
thinking of you.
Another day gone,
but that's okay,
because really,
that's another day closer to you,
my future love.
Another day gone,
not too long now,
the time will come,
and we will realize that the wait,
was worth it all.
Whatever tomorrow brings…
One day.
Does his company…
To better days.
One day at a time.
Some days…
Need to learn to live by this, I waste so many days always forgetting how valuable each day is.

A family dog alerted a Tucson couple to an early-morning fire in their garage that eventually spread to the attic of their home.
The couple credits their pooch, Reilly, of enabling them to escape to safety.
Multiple vehicles were engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at the scene around 1:30 a.m. Monday in the 10500 block of East Dusky Willow Drive.
Firefighters took hose lines through the front door of the house to fight the fire from the unburned side, a tactic used to reduce damage by preventing flames from spreading to the rest of the home, said Tucson fire Capt. Barrett Baker.
A second crew arrived soon after and began attacking the blaze that was burning three vehicles - two in the garage and one in the driveway, Baker said.
When the fire spread into the attic of the house, a ladder crew cut two holes in the roof to allow the smoke to escape. They were able to put out the fire in the attic space by spraying water in the holes that they had cut, while crews inside pulled down the ceiling.
Eight units and 21 firefighters worked to control the fire.
No one was injured.
The couple, along with Reilly, stayed in another location and didn't need help from the Red Cross.
Three cars were destroyed and the garage and other areas of the house had considerable smoke and fire damage, Baker said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Even estranged spouses must generally file joint returns to get subsidies for health coverage, putting them at potential risk.
Mar 13
The price tag of the breakthrough treatment raises questions about the proper costs of pharmaceuticals.
Mar 03
The administration pressed the pause button on part of the health law again. Here's what the new timeline for the employer mandate means for businesses, workers -- and for politicians.
Feb 11
For nearly 3 million Americans, subsidies don't kick in until they've paid up to 9.5% of their income toward premiums.
Feb 10
Former Health And Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt says officials could learn from similar, albeit smaller, problems he and his staff had implementing the Medicare Prescription Drug Program in 2006, and that he doubts the Obama administration will meet its goals for enrollment in the health law's insurance marketplaces.
Jan 08
Those buying some bronze and silver plans could have to spend thousands before full coverage kicks in.
Dec 23, 2013
Rule changes and deadline shifts have complicated the efforts of health insurance companies to prepare for a wave of new customers and "post-enrollment snafus."
Dec 20, 2013
Changes that would allow the companies to enroll subsidy-eligible individuals are being tried in Texas, Ohio and Florida.
Nov 24, 2013
Many state regulators, insurers have yet to decide on whether to OK renewals of canceled policies.
Nov 21, 2013
Under the president's plan, insurers will be permitted to extend this year's policies into next year, but it's far from clear that insurers will want to follow through. Some state regulators may not even let them.

Wolfpack Hustle: Midnight Drag Race _ 6th St. Bridge, Downtown LA
The annual Wolfpack Hustle Midnight Drag Race took a break from its location in the 2nd Street Tunnel, and set up the 1,000 feet sprint race on the historic 6th St. Bridge. Coincidentally enough, the 1932 bridge is in the midst of a replacement project, slated to tear down the existing bridge and rebuild a new span crossing the LA River, train tracks, 101 freeway and 5 freeway. Plans call for the demolition to start October 2014. Which means this is the 2nd to last possible drag race to take place on the current 6th St. Bridge.
The central steel arch segment over the LA River. This is the portion of the bridge which pivots a bit to the south, giving the current bridge a non-linear, elbow-like trajectory.
Don Ward.
The Freeway.
The Train Tracks.
The River.
Good buddies Susannah Lowber and Melody Brocious, competing in the drag race.

Bring the whole family and enjoy the classic story that proves there is a Santa Claus.
Daytona Playhouse will present in classic radio style "Miracle on 34th Street."
It is Dec 22, 1947. A young lady discovers dreams do come true if you really believe. Susan (Alaya Ruddy) has doubts about childhood's most enduring miracle -- Santa Claus. Her mother (Karyn Ruddy, Alaya's Mom) told her the "secret" about Santa a long time ago, so Susan doesn't expect to receive the most important gift on her Christmas list.
But after meeting Macy's Santa (Skip Van Tol), who's convinced he's the real thing, Susan is given the most precious gift of all -- something to believe in.
Be part of the show. Help make sound effects, sing Christmas songs with the Lux Songbirds. It's an Old Time Radio Show with live music, live sound effects and 24 actors performing this classic holiday story. The entire family will enjoy the show and kids can have one last visit with Santa after the show. Tickets are $10 for 18 and older and $5 for 18 and younger.
Shows are at 7:30 p.m. Dec 21-22 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec 23.
To reach the box office call (386) 255-2431 between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m. or two hours before each show.

Hi, Tom.
I just read your last newsletter and grinned with joy as usual. Thank you for your stories.
It's been a while since I wrote in the forum, but, Alas!, life is sometimes hectic!
Me and my Italian group of "whovians" will be doing an impersonation of several Doctors (I'll be Pertwee by the way) at our next convention in December, and this made me wondering if you had ever any problems with the many impersonations comedians and actors had done of you (i.e. an hilarious Jon Culshaw "interviewing" you in 2001!).
All the best to you, Sue, Poppy and all the other lovely creatures living close to you!
A big hug from Italy!

When my dog was in her older years, I found that the store-bought treats had too much sodium in them for her, so I began making some home-made treats with such things as peanut butter or tuna in them. Because I knew exactly what the ingredients were, I'd sneak one myself every now and then if I were desperate! They were fairly bland, and I guess that was a good thing.

There are a lot of big things happening in our beloved borough, the increasingly hip home of Jay Z, Al Capone, Ina Garten, and Carl Sagan, not to mention Dandelion Wine. With CSAs, farmer's markets, breweries, distilleries, and a 43,000 suare foot rooftop farm it's becoming easier and easier to drink and eat local… and tonight, 6-9 pm, we're celebrating that with our friends from BROOKLYN OENOLOGY, tasting three wines made practically in our own backyard from NY state grapes, featuring labels by Brooklyn artists! Meet winemaker Alie, share cheese from our friends at Eastern District, and listen to some of our favorite Brooklyn based bands on the record player!
Shindig 2011
"95% Vidal Blanc / 5% Riesling (sourced from two Finger Lakes vineyard sites), there are flavors of citrus, green apple, stone fruit, lemon zest, a little slate and ginger, and a touch of sweetness mingled with refreshing minerality on the finish… Being a lip smacking , thirst-quenching, food loving wine, Shindig is a perfect aperitif and matches shellsh, sushi, salads, vegetables, fried seafood, BBQ, and any time that a great, refreshing summer sipper might be required!" $16

Our planet is at a turning point. The massive global migration underway now from countryside to cities will demand huge investments in energy, water, materials, waste, food distribution, and transportation over the next 25 years.

Waiting on Fifty Shades of Grey?
Published on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 8:51am
I know you are. DCPL's hold list for the trilogy is over 400.
Some people are simply curious about the books because of the media attention given to the series and some people are fans of the genre.
Either way, here are some titles to help you through that long wait list!
Black Jack by Lora Leigh
Part of the Black Ops series, Black Jack is renegade agent Travis Caine and his reputation for being a "loose cannon" has put him in the line of fire more than once. But will his new assignment, "Night Hawk," be the end of him? The Sacramento Book Review calls Lora Leigh's writing, "compelling, and red-hot romance." DC Public Library has more than a dozen titles by Lora Leigh, some of them are even available electronically.
The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber
The Crimson Petal and the White is the story about Sugar, a young Victorian girl struggling to improve her social standing. Through her life at Mrs. Castaway's brothel, Sugar meets an unbelievable and unforgettable cast of characters. A lengthy title, Publisher's Weekly calls it "a marvelous story" and "deeply entertaining".
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Set in a world of cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and a truly Machiavellian villainess, this is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal and deeply laid conspiracies. This is the first book in the Kushiel's Legacy series. The library has the entire series in its collection.
Beyond My Control: Forbidden Fantasies in an Uncensored Age by Nancy Friday
Unlike her first title, My Secret Garden, Friday explores the fantasies of both women and men. Using her survey results, Friday takes a bold, honest and sometimes humorous look at the secret desires of our society. She makes observations about the shift in traditional gender roles, and the make up of family dynamics and how even the Internet has affected our collective sexuality. A great read for anyone interested in the psychology and sociology of romance.
In the Cut by Susanna Moore
Frannie stumbles upon a man and a woman in an intimate moment. A week later the woman's body has been discovered in the park across the street. What follows is a chilling tale of lust and murder as Frannie finds herself drawn to the detective assigned to the case.
The Surrender by Toni Bentley
This witty, intelligent and eloquent memoir about the exploration of one woman's obsession will leave readers questioning their own desires. Bentley's honesty about her life in the New York City ballet, her failed marriages and her discovery of a new type of satisfaction will keep readers turning the page.

{mosimage}A while back, a mysterious announcement printed by Physorg piqued the EcoGeek interest. According a press release from the vizuka.com Dubna Nuclear Institute, a 'battery' has been created that can extract energy from both solar and levitra on sale stellar sources, is twice as effective as solar panels at converting light into energy, and is cheaper to produce than solar panels.
Only one piece of information has arisen since we first spotted the article. A second release found at ITAR TASS explains that the substance is a 'heteroelectric' but does not explain what a heteroelectric is. They do, however, re-confirm that "This product of levitra professional development studies has already proved its high efficiency both in darkness and in cloudy conditions."
So, that's very exciting, but also very mysterious. We'll keep our eyes open and let you know when more information appears.

How to Make Money with Fat Stocks
AnnaLisa is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Sure you want to be thin and rich in real life, but you don't want your stocks to be rated Underweight! Finding Overweight stocks with low PEGs isn't easy in the torrid run-up of the last year. Screening for mid-caps with Wall Street Outperforms, gross margins over 25%, trailing P/Es under 15, and EPS growth rates of 30% over the last three years elicited only seven names out of a possible 1,674. Using the free stock screen at Motley Fool.com under the CAPS tab I further screened for CAPS with four star rankings or better, bringing it down to five.
Those five names were Cirrus Logic, NetEase, Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW), Rosetta Resources (NASDAQ: ROSE), and Oil States International (NYSE: OIS). Tossing out NetEase because it's a volatile Chinese internet stock with the highest PEG, that left two oils and a precious metals company. Semiconductor Cirrus Logic also came up, but its fortunes are too dependent on Apple and it seems to fall harder and faster from the tree when Apple declines.
The not too rich or too thin winners
Silver Wheaton may be the most intriguing company on the list, as it is the only one with yield at 2.10% and a beta of exactly one despite being a silver and precious metal streaming company. It doesn't actually mine itself; it has 20 long term silver and gold purchase contracts. It is close to its 52 week low as silver and gold has declined dramatically in price recently.
However, it has very low overhead (only 27 employees and based in Vancouver), a gross margin of 85.08%, and a PEG of .78. Over the past three years revenue and EPS growth has been 39.40% and 46.39%, respectively.
Analysts have a median price target of $38.30 for serious upside from its June 16 close of $23.31. They are bullish, with 10 Wall Street Outperforms, more so since Silver Wheaton has diversified into gold contracts lately, inking a deal with Vale, the Brazilian miner.
Silver Wheaton comes in under a 15 P/E by the skin of its teeth at 14.3 with a forward P/E of 13.55, but it also merits a four star CAPS ranking. Caveats with Silver Wheaton are the same risks associated with any company exposed to silver and gold, as well as a significant decline in net operating cash flow from $249 million in Q4 2012 to $167 million for Q1 of 2013. Fool Dan Caplinger has a video detailing other risks, like possible competition and counterparty risk.
While the dividend payout ratio stands at 30%, buying Silver Wheaton for yield alone isn't advised. Fellow Fool Rupert Hargreaves has doubts that its dividend can be covered if silver prices remain depressed.
Two oils that are pretty slick
Oil States International, a global specialty service and products supplier (also called accommodations) to oil and gas drillers and producers, earns a five star CAPS rating and has a trailing P/E of 12.13 and a PEG of .77.
Oil States has performed well this last year with gains of 33.55%, and is only 1% off its 52 week high of $94.32. The company has enjoyed stunning three year EPS growth of 86.43%, although three year revenue growth has been more modest at 28.60%. Gross margin was the lowest of these screened names at 25.14%.
It has garnered 12 Wall Street Outperforms and its median price target is $99.50, but caution is advised after the company received four downgrades in the last two months, losing two Outperforms and two Buys. Although the short interest is 4%, it is decreasing.
Mostly that was on valuation due to a 40% run up in the stock after hedge fund activist David Einhorn bought 2.7 million shares to make it his largest new holding in Q1. Einhorn gave a $120 price target based on his sum of the parts analysis at 8.6 x 2013 EBITDA, and then conjectured an $155 pps if the company would turn its Accommodations unit into a REIT. Einhorn thinks that the Accommodations division is undervalued with its high growth and return on capital. JANA Partners Barry Rosenstein owns even more than Einhorn, with a 9.1% stake in Oil States.
Rosetta Resources, an independent oil and gas explorer and producer, is more gas oriented than oily. Hey, gassy and fat--what could be better? Rosetta Resources has 18 Wall Street Outperforms with a PEG of .30.
With some of the lowest costs to drill in the industry and prime property in the Texas Eagle Ford shale region, Rosetta Resources will be in the catbird seat when natural gas prices rise with increased demand.
Its gross margin stands at 81.2% with an impressive 96% EPS growth rate over the last three years. It reported on May 6 another EPS beat, but its revenues missed. For the past three years revenue growth has lagged EPS growth at only 27%. Its trailing P/E is 13.12 with a forward P/E of 9.48.
An important advantage going forward for the company is this focus on the Eagle Ford, which allows them just about the lowest reserve replacement costs in the industry at $6.99 per barrel of oil equivalent. Fool Tyler Crowe explains reserve replacement costs with industry comparisons here.
It also has the lowest corporate governance risk rating of 1 (the best!). CEO James Craddock's compensation of $690,000 is certainly among the lowest in the natural gas patch compared to similar market cap SandRidge Energy and much larger Chesapeake Energy.
The Foolish Takeaway
These three mid-caps are still dependent on a rise in silver and energy prices. Most promising is Rosetta Resources, with increasing demand for natural gas and a gradual rise in prices. Oil States is worth a look with two activist investors pushing to unlock value. Finally, Silver Wheaton is a good play on a silver resurgence, but likely the most speculative of these "never too thin will make you rich" stocks.

MERCED - The University of California, Merced, prides itself on the intimacy of its campus community. With more than 3,400 enrolled students, just about every face on campus is a familiar one. That sense of community is important for a number of reasons. It fosters a collaborative working/learning environment, it increases student engagement, and it also contributes to campus safety.
A recent grant from the U.S. Department of Justice will enable the UC Merced Police Department [1]to launch programs to maintain the safe campus environment it has helped to cultivate since the university opened in 2005. The $299,756 grant provides funding for the department to create and strengthen preventive, healing and criminal justice procedures that address violence against women.
According to Rita Spaur, chief of the UC Merced Police Department, the grant will also fund programs that allow survivors to report and seek services related to current or past sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking. The most recent campus crime statistics show that one sexual assault took place on campus in 2008. The last sexual assault to occur on campus was in 2006.
"The goal is to implement a comprehensive, multi-phased collaborative program that reaches out to and educates the campus community on issues of violence against women, and supports survivors," she said. "Even one assault in our community is too many."
The program will fulfill grant requirements that include prevention and education programs targeted at dating and domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. In addition to preventive programs, such as self-defense classes, the program will also address issues related to bystander behavior and peer response.
Aside from helping the campus community maintain its existing level of safety, Spaur said the three-year grant gives the university the tools necessary to serve the university population as it grows.
Nearly half of students enrolled and more than 300 members of the faculty and staff are women. Projections estimate an influx of 650 to 750 new students each year until UC Merced reaches its capacity of 25,000.
"Our department has jurisdiction in the state with emphasis over UC Merced-owned or leased properties and the surrounding square mile," Spaur said. "Maintaining the safety and security as the campus community grows is a primary focus for our department. This grant will help us establish a culture of zero tolerance for violence against women that will sustain as UC Merced grows to capacity. "
The UC Merced Police Department will continue to work with campus departments, and local nonprofit, law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to develop a coordinated community response that encompasses services [2]for survivors and criminal prosecution.
"The program will build upon the rich experience of community partners to effectively empower women of the UC Merced community," Spaur said. "It will also support other campus and community services."
The UC Merced Police Department currently offers a citizen's academy [3]that examines all aspects of law enforcement and a R.A.D. self-defense [4]class for women. Both the academy and self-defense class are offered throughout the year.
Resources for women on campus who are survivors of dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking in the past or present are offered through Counseling and Psychological Services [5].
"Ensuring the safety of our campus community is a collaborative effort," said Fuji Collins, assistant vice chancellor for student health and wellness. "This grant will give our police department and campus the resources necessary to keep students, faculty and staff safe here."

self-defense classes, contact

On October 9, 2013, the spacecraft Juno will fly by Earth to get a gravity assist and put it on a course for Jupiter. To celebrate this event, NASA is inviting amateur radio operators around the world to say "HI" to Juno in a coordinated Morse Code message. Juno's radio and plasma wave experiment, called Waves, should be able to detect the message if enough people participate.
NASA is asking us to send the letters "HI" in verrrrry slow Morse Code on 26 different frequencies in the 10m band. I say verrrrry slow because each dit is 30 seconds long.
The event is to start at 1800 UTC on October 9 and last until 2040 UTC. The "HI" message is to be repeated every 10 minutes, beginning at 18:00, 18:10, 18:20, etc. as shown in the figure below.
The Say HI to Juno Web page has much more information on this event. The page include a table of frequencies on which to transmit and information on how to get a QSL card. There is also a Facebook page.
I think that this is a very cool event, and I hope that if you have the capability of transmitting on 10m that you'll participate. Let's all say HI to Juno!

1. Heat a large pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine the next four ingredients in a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands, toss everything together so that the peppers and beans are evenly coated in the marinade. Remove just the peppers, reserving the beans and the marinade and place them on the hot pan. Cook, about 8 minutes a side until they're tender. Remove from pan to cool.
3. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally, and then vertically into 4 equal top/bottom pieces. Hollow out the bread on the bottom of each of the sections to create a little divit. Fill the hollowed out areas of each of the bottom loaf pieces with 1/4 cup of marinated beans. Reserve remaining vinegar mixture. Finish each sandwich by layering on the basil, the cooled pepper, the arugula and 1/4 of the sliced mozzarella. Drizzle the remaining vinegar mixture over each sandwich and season again with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with top piece of bread.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dawn Perry and I am the new Principal. I feel very blessed to be here and look forward to meeting you all!To give you a little background, my life goal has always been to help and serve people, which will become more apparent as you read on and learn more about me over time.I received my BS in Elementary Education from Wesley College in 1997 and my Master's degree in Instructional Leadership from University of Delaware in 2012. Immediately after my undergraduate degree, I taught elementary school for one year and middle school English Language Arts for two years.I then changed my career and became a police officer. I served three years as a Delaware State Trooper and a year and a half in Las Vegas. During that time, I received several awards for my work and gained experience in various areas of law enforcement. After my son was born, I decided to re-enter the field of education. For the next five and a half years I taught middle school English Language Arts in Dover, Delaware and earned my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. I have been providing professional development, mentoring education majors, student teachers, and heavily involved with curriculum development over the years. A little over a year ago, my husband's job relocated us to Pennsylvania, where I taught 5th grade at Nativity of our Lord in Warminster. My heart and soul is dedicated to helping others. In all my experiences, I have found no greater way to do this than to serve our community by educating our children and assisting our teachers who educate our children.Please feel free to contact me anytime at: firstname.lastname@example.com am looking forward to serving Holy Cross School!

Get out & grow
Creating the perfect garden
by B. Durbin Wean
Today we are going to stretch a little bit from the more formal look that we talked about last week. We can combine a sense of structure and form with use and beauty by growing fruits, vegetables, flowers and shrubs in a garden called a "potager." This word comes from the French meaning "kitchen garden."
One of the keys to planting a potager is to abandon the utilitarian idea of sowing a crop in squares or in perfect lines. However, potagers are usually a number of beds arranged in a geometric pattern most often rectangular, although it can take the form of a diamond or even have triangular beds radiating from a central point. Imagine a large globe artichoke in the center or you might have a potted rosemary, topiary, or tree rose. You can grow fruits, vegetables and herbs in containers or interesting shapes to make a feature out of them. Espalier pears or apples on a wall or a fence make an interesting display that is space saving. Many nurseries have espalier fruit trees with several different varieties of fruit grafted on each tree.
Here is the way to plan and plant your potager. The simplest design in a small yard is to take a square and divide it into quarters with a cross shaped path. Your path can be as simple as dirt with straw on it or as structured as one that is paved with pavers or brick. In larger gardens I really like to see a central area with beds radiating around it. Make sure your garden is in full sun and be sure to enrich your soil with compost as fruits, flowers and vegetables need light, space and rich soil. Make sure to mulch your soil also to conserve water and to keep the soil light. You can buy fertilized mulch or use straw.
In planting your garden making the right choices is a matter of personal taste, but where space is short stick to good producers with ornamental value. Runner beans are high performers that look as good as they taste. Try red cabbages, ruby or bright lights Swiss chard and beets whose green tops are laced with red. Juxtapose tall fluffy fennel, with broad-leaved lettuce. Plant fluffy leaved carrots with big round nasturtiums. Grow several different kinds of parsley like Italian flat leaf and curly leaf.
