<p>At the beginning of September there was a summit from which officials hooped some negotiations would begin between Israel and the Palestine people.</p>
<p>At the press conference the host, Barack Obama, was one step before the guests, being close fallowed by the head of Palestinian Authority , Mahmoud Abbas, the head of Jordan, Abdallah the second and among others the Egypt leader<br />
The &#8220;Al-Ahram&#8221; newspaper has offered an example of how to manipulate some pictures. The image of Mubarak , the Egypt leader was placed at the beginning of the group, ahead of all the others.</p>
<p>Needles to say that many others pictures were available to the press and the scam was quickly unveiled. So the Egypt leader is left with a big shame and the newspaper officials have no excuse what so ever regarding this event.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For about four hours the Bank of America Corp site was down but now it is up and running.</p>
<p>The motive seems to be a &#8220;temporary system&#8221; issue Tara Burkle declared. Also she declared that further investigation is in progress to see the source of the problem and that they will make adjustments that this kind of thing never happen.</p>
<p>It all started at 1:25 p.m and lasted until 5:15 p.m.. It seams that there are still people that can&#8217;t access their accounts but this is happening because of the amount of users that are trying to connect to the website. The same spokesman said the ATMs were not affected in any kind and that the customers can use them with confidence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1166 aligncenter" title="General Motors Headquarters, Detroit" src="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/general-motors-headquarters-detroit.jpg" alt="General Motors Headquarters, Detroit" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>After Chrysler filed for bankruptcy one month ago, it was the turn of General Motors to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 protection. Today at 8 A.M. local time, General Motors declared bankruptcy at the federal court in Manhattan after they reported $81 billion losses in the last four years. GM is the biggest car manufacturer in the US, and the future of the 235,000 employees worldwide now lies in the hands of Judge Robert Gerber.</p>
<p>The GM bankruptcy is the largest industrial insolvency in the history of the USA, and now the 101-year-old carmaker is under court protection. Now there are two from the top three US carmakers under Chapter 11 protection, and President Barack Obama is expected to hold a press conference today to speak of the matter.</p>
<p>General Motors manufactures brands like Cadillac, Chevrolet, Opel, Hummer, and Vauxhall, and although they&#8217;ve gone bankrupt, the company will keep on producing cars. GM officials hope that the US Government will give them another hand, and the company will be back, but in a smaller &#8220;shape&#8221; in the next 60 to 90 days.</p>
<p>Although it&#8217;s the largest industrial company to file for bankruptcy, GM is the third largest company to go bankrupt. Lehman Brothers, and WorldCom are the first and second. The former is an investment bank, while the latter is a telecommunications company.</p>
<p>Those familiar with the matter expected General Motors to go bankrupt sooner or latter, but some believed that the carmaker will recover thanks to the $19 billion aid from the Treasury, and $30 billion from the US government.</p>
<p>GM put heir hopes into Judge Robert Gerber&#8217;s hands who took care of bankruptcies for companies like Adelphia, and Global Crossing.</p>

The only question right now is how they are going to make money with so cheap fares.</p>
<p>Jet America Airlines 9 dollars fares will be transporting clients from Newmark, NJ to Toledo. The discount fares will only apply to nine seats in each flight and according to Tampabay Jet America Airlines the companies will make money from additional fees, the same way every low cost airline does.<br />
Jet America Airlines opens for business today and Tampabay.com announced that the company will charge an extra $20 for a round trip with an</p>
<p>assigned seat, $20 to purchase a ticket by phone and $10 to purchase the ticket online.</p>

<p>Mike Tyson’s daughter died on May 26 after suffering a strange and tragic home accident. The 4 year old girl got tangled into a cord connected to a treadmill in Tyson residence in Phoenix, Arizona. The girl was found by her brother who was sent there to look for her.</p>
<p>The police are considering this as being only “a tragic accident” and nobody’s fault. Apparently when the paramedics arrived they found the girl’s mother administrating CPR.</p>
<p>Tyson was in Las Vegas when the tragic incident happened but came as soon as he could and rushed to the hospital. The former heavyweight champion’s life was already a troubled one and here is no doubt that this event made it a lot worse. His father left him when he was two years old and later, when he was 16, his mother died. He got arrested 38 times by the time he was 13. He’s savior was a counselor who discovered Mike’s boxing talent and got him on the right track.</p>

<p>The recent U.S. reform caused by the economic decline left a lot of small business owners in a very difficult situation especially when we are talking about credit cards. These kinds of reforms already hit the U.K. economy and right now everybody is asking which the best business credit card to get is.</p>
<p>Of course the best and logical choice is to get the credit card that offers the lowest interest rate. Apart from costing less than a high interest card, there is yet another reason to choose this kind of credit card. Apparently the people who have high interest credit cards also have a poorer credit rating.</p>
<p>If you still want to continue with your high interest business card you should bear in mind that a good solution will be to purchase smaller items which you can easily pay off and by doing so you create a good credit ranking. However, don’t forget that credit card companies add an amount of dept to your credit card each month.</p>
<p>Another solution would be to apply for a business credit card with 0% apr for 6 months and try to make as many high payments towards paying off that card as possible in those first 6 months. If you succeed your credit score will be big enough to enable you to apply for yet another low interest business credit card.</p>

<p>BERLIN (AP) — After traces of cocaine were found in Red Bull Cola energy drink, a bewarege popular in Europe as well as in the States, sold heavily in clubs and discos, some states in Germany have proceeded to interdict the drink. Six German states have so far interdicted retailers to sell Red Bull, shortly after  a test found a trace amount of cocaine.</p>
<div id="attachment_1014" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 244px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1014" title="Germany - State Map" src="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/germanystates-225x300.jpg" alt="Germany - State Map" width="234" height="312" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Germany - State Map</p></div>
<p>This test was conducted last week, by North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink. We all know Germans to be pretty<br />
serious people and not taking such issues lightly. Not surprisingly, on Friday the ban started.</p>
<p>A more in-depth investigation continued, still not relevant enough however to shed light on this issue. Germany&#8217;s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk.  It promised to produce a more detailed report Wednesday. In the meantime, six German states (out of 16 total) have banned Red Bula cola energy drinks, and this is sure to upset some people but most of all to rise complaints from the company.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, Red Bull said its cola is &#8220;harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe.&#8221; In 2006, more than 3 billion cans were sold in over 130 countries. Inspired by a Thai drink, this popular energy drink also comes in a no-sugar version (which by the way tastes a lot worse and have the same amount of cabs). Red Bull says the flavor is &#8220;mixed berry&#8221;. It is commonly used as a mixer with alcoholic drinks such as vodka, and is the base ingredient in a Jägerbomb. However, mixing it with alcohol is not a good idea, it can even damage your health &#8211; apart from the day-after headaches some of us are well acquainted with.  Too much of it, or just using it to quench thirst (instead of in situations of effort or no sleep), can also lead to  adverse effects : nervousness, headache, and tachycardia.</p>
<div id="attachment_1015" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1015" title="Red Bull logo" src="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/800px-red_bullsvg-300x145.png" alt="Red Bull logo" width="300" height="145" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Red Bull logo</p></div>
<p>The ban however is, at this point, <strong>only </strong>for the  cola version of Red Bull, which contains natural flavoring and caffeine, and was introduced in 2008 in several countries. Red Bull Simply Cola is not manufactured by Red Bull itself, but in Austria by <span class="new">Rauch Trading AG</span> for Red Bull GmbH.</p>
<p>Red Bull declared that a self-enterprise test found no traces of cocaine whatsoever and that they use the same coca leaf extracts that most cola-like beverages and products  around the world use. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens, to be honest I think that even with all the bans and intersections in the world, UE buyers are going to double sales for Red Bull if it proves to have cocaine in it. &#8220;Now it really gives you wiiiiiiings&#8221;, right ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this article we are not trying to compare the up-coming Palm Pre ($199,00)  with touch-screen smartphone with Apple&#8217;s iPhone 3G. This will be dealt with in a coming article, as Palm have unveiled only partially their  come-back smarphone. So more in the near future, as things evolve.</p>
<div id="attachment_889" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/300px-newpalmlogosvg.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-889" title="300px-newpalmlogosvg" src="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/300px-newpalmlogosvg.png" alt="Palm Logo" width="300" height="117" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Palm Logo</p></div>
<p>Palm&#8217;s Pre has been generating plenty of buzz since it was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. Supposed (and some truly hope so) to be the &#8220;Iphone assassin&#8221; and &#8220;Blackberry killer&#8221;, the new Palm model has a bit of everything and something unique. Still, will this new gadget from veteran label Palm really storm the market? Too early to say.</p>
<p>Developer of the modern personal digital assistant and an early player in smartphones, <strong>Palm, Inc.</strong> is a personal digital assistant and smartphone manufacturer headquartered in Sunnyvale, California that is responsible for popular products such as the Zire, <span class="mw-redirect">Tungsten</span> PDAs, <span class="mw-redirect">Treo</span> smartphones and the LifeDrive. Previous product lines include the <span class="mw-redirect">Palm Pilot</span>, Palm III, Palm V and Palm VII. While their older devices run Palm OS Garnet, four editions of the Treo run Windows Mobile. In early 2009 Palm announced a new operating system, <span class="mw-redirect">Palm webOS</span>, which is expected to replace the original Palm OS Garnet.</p>
<p>The new phone is currently scheduled for release on the 6th June 2009 and will be the first to use Palm&#8217;s Linux-based<sup id="cite_ref-oslinux_0-0" class="reference"><span> </span></sup>operating system <span class="mw-redirect">Palm webOS</span>. The Pre functions as a camera phone, a portable media player, a <span class="mw-redirect">GPS</span> system, and Internet client (with text messaging, <span class="mw-redirect">email</span>, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity).</p>
<p>Sprint Nextel is the official carrier in the USA, and along with Bell Mobility (Canada distribution), they surely await the new model with hope in their eyes.</p>
<div id="attachment_888" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/palmpre.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-888" title="palmpre" src="http://www.friedpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/palmpre.png" alt="Pam Pre Up-Slidded" width="250" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pam Pre Up-Slidded</p></div>
<p>Regarding financial details, the Pre&#8217;s $199.99 launch price requires the usual two-year contract. The company will also be offering a wireless charger for an additional $69.99.</p>
<p>What I like best so far is that Palm enhances user-phone accessibility with keeping the classic keyboard in addition to a pretty good looking touch-pad. Let&#8217;s face it, even if touching a glass can be cool, actually having tactile feedback won&#8217;t be topped by any touchscreen too soon. Speed is also a factor as you can use both thumbs. Sure, a pen could be a solution but that still presumes taking it out of the holder, putting it back and uses both hands.</p>
<p>On February 16, 2009, <span class="mw-redirect">Adobe</span> announced that it will be developing a version of Adobe Flash Player for <span class="mw-redirect">webOS</span>. This might do more good through marketing than directly, but it still notable for Palm fans.</p>
<p>We will keep you updated with this phone. This news about the new Palm jewel might rush Apple to introduce it&#8217;s new IPhone(s) sooner, because as this stand at this point the Pre is coming sooner by some days.</p>
