GEORGE W INSISTS ON GIVING THE SO CALLED MODERATE WASHINGTON ARABS AS WELL AS HAMAS MURDERERS A STATE OF THEIR OWN SIDE BY SIDE WITH ISRAEL WITH EAST JERUSALEM AS THEIR CAPITAL.

THIS IS COMPLETE NONSENCE AS WASHINGTON IS DECIEVED INTO BELIEVING THE LIE THAT BY GIVING THE ARABS A STATE OF THEIR OWN THAT PEACE WILL OCCUR. LITTLE DOES GEORGE KNOW THAT WORLD WAR 3 OCCURS BECAUSE JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL IS DIVIDED, WHEN WILL WASHINGTON GET THIS THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULLS.

BUT SINCE THE BIBLE SAYS IT HAS TO BE A LAND FOR PEACE 7 YEAR TREATY, IT HAS TO COME TO PASS, SO THE DECEPTION HAS TO BE FULFILLED FOR THE PROPHECIES TO OCCUR.

WASHINGTON ALSO WANTS A CONFERENCE IN THE FALL TO GET THE PRO PALESTINIAN STATE COUNTRIES TOGETHER TO FIGURE OUT THE TIMELINE AND TO KEEP THE ROAD MAP ON TRACK.

Peres vows to pursue peace as Israel's president By Ari Rabinovitch
Sun Jul 15, 3:50 PM ET

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Nobel peace laureate Shimon Peres was sworn in as Israel's president on Sunday and pledged to seize the opportunity to encourage long-delayed efforts to achieve a diplomatic resolution to conflict in the Middle East. A former prime minister and Israel's eldest statesman, Peres, 83 was elected by parliament a month ago to the highly prestigious post. Though the job is largely ceremonial, past presidents have had substantial influence in Israeli politics.When the opportunity for peace is created, it must not be missed, Peres said in his inaugural speech to parliament, after taking the oath of office, in a ceremony interrupted briefly by the wails of his infant great-grandson, at which he smiled.

It is a president's duty to encourage peace processes at home, with our neighbors and the entire region, Peres added in his remarks to a house packed with Israeli well-wishers and dignitaries.Peres won a Nobel prize along with the late Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat for a 1993 interim peace deal, Israel's first with the Palestinians, that led to the establishment of limited Palestinian self-rule in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.As head of state, Peres will have the critical job of granting pardons or commuting sentences for prisoners in Israeli jails, including dozens of Palestinian inmates Israel has pledged to release in a boost to President Mahmoud Abbas.

Peres replaces Moshe Katzav, who resigned from the presidency last month after admitting in a plea bargain for a dropped rape charge to committing sex crimes against a woman employee and sexually harassing another.Born in Poland, Peres immigrated before Israel achieved statehood and rose through the ranks of the leftist Labour party as an ally of the country's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion.As deputy defense minister in the late 1950s Peres secured a secret deal with France to launch an Israeli nuclear program that the Jewish state has reportedly used to produce atomic weapons, though Israel does not comment on this.

Peres served as prime minister from 1984 to 1986 then again in 1995 after Rabin's assassination, though he never won an Israeli election for the position decisively.
He left Labour in 2005 to help found the centrist Kadima party alongside Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Ariel Sharon, the former prime minister who has been in a coma since suffering a stroke the following year.Peres, Israel's ninth head of state, had to step down as Olmert's deputy in order to become president, and resign as parliament's longest-serving member of 48 years.While the presidency does not entail any direct involvement in policymaking, Israeli presidents traditionally speak out on key issues, often influencing political decisions. The president also meets world leaders.(Additional reporting by Ori Lewis in Jerusalem)

Olmert and Abbas to Meet in Jerusalem at PMO
by Hana Levi Julian (JULY 16,07 INN)

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas Monday afternoon in Jerusalem and present Abbas with a list of 250 PA prisoners to be released, and another 178 wanted fugitives to receive amnesty.The mass pardoning of terrorists is part of a major good will gesture to help increase Abbas’s stature among the PA population.Abbas is under enormous pressure from Arab nations and the international community, explained an Olmert aid. He has recently taken a series of positive actions: he is using determined rhetoric against terror; he has issued a presidential decree that bans carrying firearms; and he has insisted that armed militias must not be allowed to control the streets.

The concessions will be accompanied by a warning, however, not to include Hamas in any role in the Palestinian Authority government. PMO staffers also told reporters that Olmert will demand that Abbas bring the PA-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria under tight control. Meanwhile, we are willing to make these gestures to prove that Israel means what it says,” added the source.Abbas is also expected to arrive with demands, including for permission for a Jordanian army brigade to deploy in PA-controlled Judea and Samaria in order to help Abbas bring the areas under control.He is also expected to request more weapons and other materiel from Egypt and full security coordination with Israel , which would prevent any more unilateral moves by Jerusalem .According to Maariv, PA security forces have already received a large shipment of weapons from Jordan. The transfer of arms reportedly took place via the Allenby crossing on Sunday. Israeli officials agreed to allow the weapons delivery despite objections from senior security officials.

PA sources did not respond to reports of the weapons transfer. Israeli sources admitted that official policy regarding weapons transfers to the PA has changed and said the transfer had been approved several weeks ago.lmert’s office flip-flopped over whether the government would include arch-terrorist and Fatah Tanzim leader Zekarya Zubeidi on its amnesty list, but eventually was forced to admit this week that he was indeed going to be included. The 178 fugitives will all be made to sign a promise to abandon their terrorist activities and lay down their weapons, as will the 250 convicted PA terrorists to be freed from their sentences as part of the package. Olmert’s office emphasized that none of the 250 prisoners to be released will have blood on his hands, meaning those who have taken part in an attack that has murdered Israeli citizens.Other concessions to be included in the good will package are the transfer of tax monies collected by Israel on behalf of the PA that were withheld after Hamas was elected to the PA leadership, and the removal of security checkpoints in Judea and Samaria.

Peres: We Must Rid Ourselves of the Territories
by Hillel Fendel (JULY 16,07 INN)

Shimon Peres, on the eve of becoming President of Israel, tells AP that he won't insult the minority, but that he has not changed his opinions.Shimon Peres took the oath of office, administered by Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik, in a ceremony accompanied by musical interludes of Biblical verses. The singers were unaccompanied by musical instruments, except drums, apparently in respect for the current Three Weeks mourning period for the Holy Temples. In the AP interview, which took place just hours before Peres was sworn in in the Knesset as Israel's 9th President, Peres expressed his surprised joy at being elected President. I don't think there was any person who was so much attacked and criticized in these last 60 years like myself, Peres said. But the fact [is] that after 60 years of criticism, of terrible remarks, they decided to elect me as the president. I didn't expect it.

Peres also said he would continue his crusade of surrending parts of the Land of Israel in exchange for promises of peace from Israel's enemies. He noted that this would require Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria. We have to get rid of the territories, he said. I won't make any secrets of my mind. I shall respect the minority. I shall not insult them. I changed my position [to President]. I didn't change my beliefs and concepts.

Eldad on the Attack

MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) responded with anger at Peres' remarks. I wanted to accept Peres as the President of the entire country, Eldad said, but he decided to begin with divisiveness and discord. To say so derisively that Israel must get rid of area and, consequently, a quarter of a million people who live there... This is not the way to start.Peres is famous for having a way with words and unique comparisons. As Jerusalem Post editor David Horowitz wrote on Friday about a recent Peres speech, Peres was full of clever aphorisms that sometimes seemed rather less wise when they sunk in.For instance, on April 10, 1999, Peres said on New York television, We have to replace the fire of hatred with the water of existence.In May 1997, Peres told the Jerusalem Report, In Argentina, the home of the tango, you know that in order to dance well, you have to close your eyes and let the romance begin... Peace is a romantic process.

Quake triggers fire at Japanese nuclear plant
Black smoke rising from a facility of Tokyo Electric Power's nuclear plant at Kashiwazaki.July 16, 2007 - 7:15PM

A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Japan today, killing five people and injuring hundreds as it toppled houses, triggered mudslides and sparked a fire at a nuclear plant.In the hardest-hit areas northwest of Tokyo, homes were reduced to rubble and a bridge was nearly cracked in two by the force of the mid-morning quake, which also sent small tsunami waves rolling into the Japanese coast.The government set up a crisis management centre while Prime Minister Shinzo Abe broke off from election campaigning to race to the scene of the worst damage in Niigata and Nagano prefectures.Rescue workers were hunting for anyone buried alive in the wreckage after nearly 300 buildings were flattened by the quake, which shook skyscrapers in Tokyo more than 200km from the epicentre.

When the earthquake hit, I was out on my boat and I felt this swing, said Susumu Ishiguro, the owner of a fishing shop in the worst-hit city of Kashiwazaki on the Sea of Japan (East Sea).I came back to the port and I found my house was a complete mess. I think all the old houses got crushed, he said.The four women and one man confirmed dead were all in their 70s or 80s, police said. At least 441 people were hurt and more than 300 were evacuated to shelters, officials said.The quake triggered 50cm tsunami waves and was followed by several aftershocks, including a strong 5.6-magnitude tremor in the afternoon.Raising fears among residents, smoke billowed for hours from a blaze at a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki before being put out. Plant officials said the reactors shut down automatically and that there was no radiation danger.Abe, dressed in a relief worker's uniform, headed to the scene by military helicopter, cutting short a campaign stop ahead of July 29 elections.

We need to take every step to save lives. It's supposed to rain tomorrow in the area so we have to take every step to save lives, secure lifelines and reassure people, said Abe, who is struggling in opinion polls.Kashiwazaki city police officer Masao Honma said: It was too strong to stand. Some people got under tables, others immediately went outside.City employee Shoji Iida said residents put iron sheets down on the roads to help traffic go through.The roads were all fractured and deformed with bumps all over the place, he said.

The quake also triggered mudslides in the city, where soil was already loose after a major typhoon at the weekend, which left four people dead or missing and flooded hundreds of homes across Japan.Today was a bank holiday in Japan, so financial markets and many offices were closed.Service on Japan's famed bullet trains was temporarily suspended as a precaution after the earthquake, which severed power to some 21,000 households.Japan lies at the junction of four tectonic plates and is hit by about 20 per cent of the world's most powerful earthquakes.Niigata was the scene of a major earthquake in October 2004, measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale. Sixty-seven people were killed, including those who suffered stress and fatigue afterwards.
The 2004 Niigata earthquake was Japan's deadliest since January 1995, when a 7.3-magnitude tremor destroyed much of the western metropolis of Kobe, killing more than 6,400 people.agencies

Moshe Feiglin Sums Up Olmert Releasing Terrorists in One Sentence
July 15, 2007...

Moshe Feiglin, who is running for the head of the Likud party against Benjamin Netanyahu, can describe Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's action of releasing terrorists in one sentence. Only one who undervalues Jewish lives can come up with such an agreement to give freedom to murderers with so much blood on their hands.
It has happened countless times that criminals who are freed repeat their heinous crimes. Who will bear the responsibility if G-D forbid Jews in Israel and innocent people throughout the world will lose their lives to one of these freed terrorists?

Moshe Feiglin has the moral compass that is presently absent from Israeli politics. The right decisions based on Jewish values will actually save lives in Israel and worldwide.

Moshe Feiglin, Manhigut Yehudit's candidate for Prime Minister of Israel will be in the United States between July 15th and July 19th.Members of the press are invited to contact us to arrange an interview. There will also be a press briefing in New York on Wednesday July 18th. Members of the press who would like to attend may contact us:

Active RFID's Growing Role in Overall Market
Tuesday July 10th, 2007

Research firm IDTechEx of Cambridge has released an update to its annual report on the current and future state of the active RFID industry, with projections out to 2017. Listed below are key findings from Active RFID and Sensor Networks 2007-2017:
As a percentage of the entire RFID industry, active RFID will grow over the next ten years. Specifically, it is expected to more than double from 12.7 percent of the market in 2007 to 26.3 percent in 2017.

IDTechEx pegs the active RFID market value in 2017 at $7.07 billion.

There are a number of factors driving the growth of the active RFID market, many similar to what is seen on the passive RFID side. Among them are an increase in track-and-trace generally (both assets and people), decreasing cost of the technology, standardization, integration with other wireless technologies, contactless payment adoption, and the ambitious Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN) projects seen in Asia.

IDTechEx estimates that 614 million active RFID tags were sold as of the beginning of this year. At 593 million, car clickers accounted for the vast majority. In a distant second place were military applications, which have used 6.3 million.

Active RFID is a systems business, according to IDTechEx. That is, providers make money less on the tags and more on deploying holistic solutions. Contrast that to some of the passive RFID supply chain and retail deployments, in which the anticipated high-volume consumption of tags will contribute significant, recurring cost.

While there has been much coverage of the adoption of RTLS solutions by the healthcare industry and hospitals in particular, there have not been many estimates of the actual number of deployments occurring. IDTechEx provides a figure: 50 hospitals per year are installing RTLS systems for asset, patient, and staff tracking.

Active RFID and RTLS has attracted more than its fair share of interest from investors: 37 percent of the 27 recent IDTechEx-tracked fundings went to companies that are in some way involved with active RFID. Notable, too, is that one of the biggest acquisitions to date in the RFID industry was Lockheed's $400 million purchase of Savi, a company that focuses heavily on active RFID technology (see Lockheed Martin to Buy Active RFID Leader Savi).

Sarkozy brings in EU troops to celebrate Bastille day
16.07.2007 - 09:26 CET | By Lucia Kubosova

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has reiterated calls for a common European defence policy, with troops from all EU member states present for a march in Paris to celebrate the 14 July Bastille Day.For his first Bastille Day appearance as French President, Mr Sarkozy sat in the back of a military vehicle, leading a parade of European military forces down the Champs Elysees. It was the first time that troops from other EU states – including 30 soldiers from Germany's Bundeswehr - were invited for the traditional parade, along with flag-bearers from all the bloc's countries. This showed that Europe had to look at France through different eyes, explained Mr Sarkozy.

It's Europe's party, he said, adding It was a parade of armies but it is peace that we want to celebrate, according to press reports.The French politicians and public were joined by European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, as well as Portuguese prime minister Jose Socrates, whose country currently holds the rotating EU Presidency. Mr Sarkozy introduced other changes to the various traditions connected with the celebration. The new leader ditched the usual July 14 televised interview and also refused to issue the mass pardons usually granted for the holiday.

However, speaking to European defence ministers and French military officers on the eve of the celebrations, the French president reiterated his call for a common European defence policy. The basis for a European defence exists. We must make it grow, he said, adding I want Europe to be capable of ensuring its security autonomously.The national holiday marks the storming of Bastille prison in Paris on 14 July 1789 by frustrated crowds which precipitated in the French revolution.
