Hi,
I would like to ask what are the specific advantages of Gold AMEX. I was told that with such card, one can freely use most of those classy airport lounges around the globe regardless of class or airline being used at the particular flight. One just shows his/hers GOLD AMEX and wham, you are out of crowds in hall with crying kids, jumping teenagers and so on. You can open complimentary Financial Times, watch news and regarge your laptop or cell. Is this piece of information right or wrong?

(lets say 25 seconds), which programming language is the best to do so? (I am not sure if I would have to scrape a financial news site or if I would have API access to direct stock quotes.)

As I was looking for information on the ****** cartoon printed in the NY Post yesterday I flipped to Fox News , there was Greta Van Susteren and her buddy Mark Furhman discussing an issue.
I later came across this clip about Fox News ****** and noticed that even Greta had denounced Mark Furhman back in 1994.
Wow i guess some people really do sell their soul for political or financial gain.

I watch financial news channels all day long. All you hear about is a recovery. But it seems as if the only folks recovering are the rich. It seems as if those who have money to invest and those who were bailed out by the government are the ones making money. They’re taking that bailout money and investing it or hoarding it. They are not lending it out. And then you have these analysts on there who are interviewed. They get the most bullish folks possible. But for the life of me, I cannot find any positive economic signs. Sure, corporate profits are up. But that is the result of layoffs measures to squeeze even more production out of their existing employees. And the inventory levels for manufacturing companies aren’t a positive sign either. And the biggest economic indicators of all are simply dismal- the job market, the housing market, and consumer spending. Even the Fed (usually the biggest bulls of all) is hesitant to say anything about a recovery. They actually say things will be flat or worse in the coming months. So are these financial news channels lying about the economy to boost (false) confidence in the market? And if so, what motive would they have to do such a thing?

The NFL announced today that for financial reasons, they had to eliminate one team from the league. So they’ve decided to combine the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and form one team, therefore saving jobs. They will be known as the TAMPACKS. Unfortunately, they’re only good for one period and have no second string.

MiMi asked:


This was an example of business as usual shown by those we have put on the hill. This was an economic bailout to save the country from financial ruin, wasn’t it? What does a maker of wooden arrows, the Exxon Valdez payout, the Puerto Rico and Virgin Island Rum Producers, small and medium size film and TV producers and so on have to do with saving our financial institutes? If this action does not outrage us as a nation to start demanding accountability from our elected officials then we as a nation will continue to be deemed as weak, complacent and ignorant by the world community.
