Obama Slams Israel Over Settlement Plans

Jakarta, Indonesia (AHN) – A day after Israel announced its settlement plans, U.S. President Barack Obama, vehemently criticized the proposed construction of 1,300 Jewish settler homes in the disputed East Jerusalem region.

Talking to reporters in Indonesian capital Jakarta during his Asian diplomatic tour, Obama slammed both Middle Eastern parties for not making the extra effort required in saving stalled truce talks.

The American president said that Israeli settlement construction was “never helpful when it comes to peace negotiations.”

“I’m concerned that we’re not seeing each side make the extra effort involved to get a breakthrough that could finally create a framework for a secure Israel living side by side in peace with a sovereign Palestine,” he added.

Meanwhile, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat has called on the world leaders to recognize a Palestinian state as a response to Israel’s declarations.

“This latest unilateral Israeli act necessitates dramatic international action for immediate recognition of the Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders,” Erekat said in a statement.

Earlier, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas presented the idea of seeking the United Nations’ intervention in declaring the statehood as an alternative in case peace talks end inconclusively.

However, he had said Palestinians would go for such an option only if Washington agrees to it.

The U.S., the U.N., the European Union and Russia all criticized the Israel’s decision to approve building of new homes.

Responding to the international criticism, Israel said that Jerusalem was not a settlement, it is the capitol of Israel, adding that its government had never placed any restriction on construction in its capital.

Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – Two federal agencies are warning parents and caregivers not to put their babies in sleep-positioning products because they can suffocate children.

Two recent deaths have been linked to the products, the Food and Drug Administration said in a statement. The FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the warning after reviewing 12 known deaths associated with using the products.

The most common types of sleep positioners have bolsters attached to each side of the mat and wedges to elevate the baby’s head. They are meant for children under 6 months old.

Over the past 13 years, the federal government received 12 reports of babies known to have suffocated to death after being placed in positioners. Most of these children died after rolling side to side to their stomach.

The agencies are urging parents not to use these products . They also reiterate that babies should be placed to sleep on their backs. Pillows, quilts, blankets or anything else should never be placed in a baby’s crib.

Why You Should Get an Auto Loan Quote from Multiple Lenders

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

You probably heard many people tell you that in order to save money you need to get many auto loan quotes. You also probably wondered why you need to waste time with quotes when you can get right down to business right away by filling out an application form for an auto loan online. I have narrowed down all the reasons to three reasons why you should go for multiple quotes before you decide upon an auto loan

  1. Multiple companies will be competing for your business
  2. Filling out an application online is fast and simple
  3. You are also not under any obligation to accept any loans from any company you apply to

There are many companies online which will probably go out of their way to offer you the lowest quote possible. They also offer everyone a free quote features but its up to you to fill out the application with as much detail as possible. The companies also make it as simple as they can for people to fill out these online applications. These application forms you fill out for an auto loan can range from a few questions to a full page or a few pages of questions.

Since everything is online you don’t have to drive from one place to hunt for quotes. Also, nowadays the approval speed of loans is pretty fast so you don’t have to wait long for an approval if you have a good credit score. A good company will get back with you in around a day while others will get back to you within an hour or so. There are also a few out there that give instant approvals. So when you submit an application their system will check the auto loan application and notify you immediately of whether you are approved or not.

Another very good thing about applying online for auto loans is you can do a side by side comparison of various companies. You can apply to various companies and then compare the results you get side by side. It is then up to you how you want to proceed and get the auto loan. I suggest the best way is to send them an email and someone will get back to you and then you can discuss the finer details of actually getting the auto loan which will get you your car.
