California Becomes the Fourth State to Ban Cell Phones While Driving
Grass Valley, CA (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- On July 1, 2008, California will become the fourth state that will implement a ban on the use of cell phones while driving.
The California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed into law a legislation that passed in the California Assembly last month. The measure goes into effect in July 2008, and imposes a minimum fine of $20 for anyone caught driving and using a cell phone unless the driver uses a headset, ear bud or other technology that frees both hands.
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington, D.C., have similar laws, but California is a large state to sign off on such legislation. More than 35 other states are considering a similar bill.
Palm, California's largest producer of cell phone and accessories, is one of the largest supporters of this bill. The company said the bill responsibly addresses evidence that handheld cell phone use increases the risk of an accident.
"With the technology available today, there is no reason for a driver to be holding a cell phone while behind a wheel. Headset technology, both wired and wireless, is readily available, and call quality using hands-free headset is generally excellent," said Mary Doyle, Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Palm.
Ms. Doyle added, "Palm gives drivers numerous options for helping keep their eyes on the road and two hands on the wheel, focusing first and foremost on driving."
Cellphone Battery Warehouse has more than 47 different styles and brands of headsets to offer to motorists. The Palm Bluetooth Wireless Headset is one of the most popular headsets for motorists.

Phoenix Duplex Investment
Single family homes historically have the lowest capitalization rates (?cap rates?) of any property class. This is calculated by dividing the net operating income (assuming no mortgage) by the purchase price of the property. For instance, a $100,000 property that generated $9000 per year in net operating income would be classified as a ?9 cap.? For single family homes, cap rates are in many cases in the range of 5 to 6% (sometimes less) with most of the return for investors coming in the form of appreciation in the value of the property. For this reason, many income investors have sought out small multi-family investments which tend to have higher cap rates. Additionally, investors like the ease and low cost of residential mortgages which a...
