::::BREAKING NEWS::::

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(MARKET WIRE)-- GLOBAL TRIAD, INC. (Other OTC: GTRD.PK ), a
publicly traded company currently on the over the counter, announced that Global
WiFi Plus, Inc. a leading provider of total solutions for wireless
communications, signed a contract to provide wireless Internet services to a
premier property in Delray Beach, Florida, consisting of over 125 luxury homes.
Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, Global WiFi will offer the
residential user an alternative from cable and DSL Internet providers and will
deliver not only high speed access with additional security, but can also
deliver additional capabilities including VoIP, Video on Demand, and IPTV
designed to broadcast "Board of Directors" meetings to the individual homes.

Global Triad Inc.
Is currently trading under the 10 to 20 cent level, which is much undervalued
with all their new cutting edge products, recent news announcements and their
short-term and long-term projected numbers. The stock has a 52 week high of 1.05
which puts its current price level at a very attractive entry level for an
investor.

If you take the time to look at this company, we know you will definitely like
what you find. The continued marketing campaign to get the public aware of the
companys products and value as an investment along with the projected sales in
2005 and profitability in the third quarter could bring huge returns for the
fast acting investor.

The Company and Products:

GTRD has three subsidiaries that are on the cutting edge of technology. The
three divisions are a perfect match for Global Triad Inc. to be a leading force
in the digital communications sector. They have a fast access broadband wireless
delivery system (WARP-SPEED) that is two times faster then DSL and also supports
video on demand with hundreds of movies and V.O.I.P. The company has its data
storage facility know as (WEBCAST). This product allows corporate users to store
their sensitive data over the Internet with SSL encryption security to the
Global XS encryption facility. This facility exceeds over 700 Terebits of
storage capacity. The company has all their products listed on their website.
Global TV, Inc (one of their subsidiaries) has signed a letter of intent with
Municipal Solutions, L.L.C. This agreement gives Global TV exclusive rights to
provide high-speed wireless broadband technologies to clients of Municipal
Solutions in more than 7 states that are key municipalities and government
agencies including the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army.


Take the time to look at this stock it could be a real nice percentage gainer
for an investor in the short-term and a home run for the long-term investor.

The legacy of Polish master Witold Lutoslawski covers half of the last century,
each work a link in his creative chain.  Hear two of Lutoslawski's symphonies
and see how the 36-year journey between them covered personal and political
upheaval, as well as stylistic evolution.  The haunting "Musique funebre" and
the virtuosic "Chain 2" for solo violin and orchestra reveal strikingly
different aspects of Lutoslawski's emotional voice.

   Sidney Frank, 86, Dies; Took a German Drink and a Vodka Brand to Stylish
Heights   By DOUGLAS MARTIN
   Sidney E. Frank, who was forced to leave Brown University as a freshman when
his money ran out, went on to concoct spectacularly successful marketing
campaigns for Jägermeister liqueur and Grey Goose vodka, then became so rich he
gave Brown its biggest gift ever, died Tuesday in San Diego. He was 86.
   His death was announced by the Sidney Frank Importing Company.
   After Mr. Frank sold Grey Goose to Bacardi for an estimated $2.3 billion in
2004, he liked to call himself "the $2 billion man" and told BusinessWeek that
he planned to become "the $10 billion man."
   He died well short of his goal, but this deprivation hardly sabotaged his
lifestyle. He owned six palatial homes, traveled with four chefs and, when he
could no longer play golf, hired a team of professionals to play just for him;
he instructed them on which clubs to use.
   His generosity was similarly outsize: a $23.8 million bonus for his secretary,
$100 million in scholarships and $20 million for a building for Brown, among
other gifts. After he saw "Escape From Sobibor," a film from 1987 based on the
revolt in 1943 of Jewish prisoners at a Polish death camp, he tracked down nine
survivors and sent them checks of $11,000 each.
   The ebullient Mr. Frank was known for audacious sales techniques, including
employing a squadron of pretty young women, called Jägerettes, to patrol bars
and promote Jägermeister. Sales increased from 600 cases a month in 1974, when
Mr. Frank started selling it, to more than two million cases last year.
   Grey Goose's success was also stellar, but involved a different technique from
Jägermeister's, which rarely advertised. Mr. Frank plowed his entire first
year's profit from Grey Goose, $3 million, into ads.
   The idea was to build an elegant image, beginning with a price about $10 a
bottle more than the market leader, Absolut. He gave Grey Goose away at charity
events and deposited bottles in limousines used for the Academy Awards ceremony.
It became the best-selling premium vodka in the country.
   Sidney Edward Frank was born on Oct. 2, 1919, in Montville, Conn., where his
father and mother raised chickens and grew vegetables. He graduated from the
Norwich Free Academy, which was not free; his tuition was paid by the town,
which had no high school. Two years ago, Mr. Frank gave the school $12 million.
   At 12, he started as an entrepreneur by making a ladder to climb Mohegan Rock,
a tourist attraction. He charged a dime to climbers.
   He earned mostly A's in high school and planned on paying for college with
earnings from Mohegan Rock and odd jobs. When he applied to Brown, he was told
his chances were borderline. His firm handshake finally persuaded the dean of
admissions to accept him, he was told.
   Once there, he was assigned a room next to that of another freshman, Edward
Sarnoff, a son of David Sarnoff, the founder of the National Broadcasting
Company. Mr. Sarnoff introduced him to Louise Rosenstiel, daughter of Lewis
Rosenstiel, founder of Schenley Industries, one of the nation's largest
distillers. They later married.
   "The easiest way to make a million dollars is to marry it rather than earn
it," Mr. Frank said in an interview with The Daily Mail, a London newspaper, in
2005.
   When he ran out of tuition money, he applied for a job at Pratt & Whitney.
There were many applicants, and he was told to come back in a couple of hours to
demonstrate that he knew how to use a slide rule, which he did not. He bought
one, pored over the directions and got the job, which involved keeping Allied
planes flying in World War II.
   Not yet married to Miss Rosenstiel, he met her father, who asked him to use
his engineering skills to help develop an alcohol-based motor fuel. That
flopped, so Mr. Frank switched to liquor.
   After his sixth marriage proposal to Miss Rosenstiel, which she accepted, he
went to work for the family's company and soon vastly increased the production
of a Scotch distillery that Schenley had bought in Glasgow.
   He discovered that the distillery was still following a law limiting
distillation to twice a week, a law that had been repealed. With daily
production, the still, for which Schenley had paid $13 million, rang up $10
million in profit the first year, nearly recouping the cost.
   Mr. Frank soon discovered that marrying a fortune was not a foolproof tactic,
as he became enmeshed in repeated familial disputes. He was fired, rehired, made
president, and fired again. His father-in-law then blackballed him from the
industry.
   Mr. Frank sold art for a few years, then clawed his way back, first by
supplying sake to sushi restaurants. He discovered Jägermeister - a German
liqueur variously described as tasting like licorice, root beer or cough syrup -
on a stroll through Yorkville, a historically German neighborhood in Manhattan.
   Germans viewed the syrupy drink, which contained many herbs, as medicinal, but
Mr. Frank saw another niche: the hard-partying college market. He said he got a
big break when a newspaper in Baton Rouge, La., likened Jägermeister to Valium,
even if it had no drugs.
   The party scene Mr. Frank fostered - rife with free shots at the bar,
promotions by young women and, later, male Jägerdudes - developed a reputation
for wild behavior. In 1997, a group of Jägerettes persuaded the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission to sue Mr. Frank's company, charging sexual harassment.
Some said they had been harassed by Mr. Frank himself.
   The company and Mr. Frank denied the charges, but paid $2.9 million as part of
a settlement.
   Mr. Frank's first wife died in 1972. He is survived by his wife, Marian; his
daughter, Catherine Halstead, of Seattle; his son, Matthew, of Marin County in
California; his sister, Edna Nowitz, of Bridgeport, Conn.; five grandchildren;
and two great-grandchildren.
   In recent years, Mr. Frank was working on a travel magazine, a new Irish
whiskey and an energy drink called Crunk.

Mr. Byron Calame

Public Editor - The New York Times





Dear Sir,



Douglas Martin's obituary note on the late Sidney Frank (January 12, page
B7) contains following phrase: "...After he saw "Escape from Sobibor", a
film from 1987 based on the revolt of Jewish prisoners at a Polish death
camp...".

After a long period of absence of such a mindless insulting and
history-falsifying nonsense like "Polish death camps" in  "The New York
Times", we find it again in print.

But this time it is not my intention, as we usually react, to refer the
author to the history textbooks and perfectly documented performance of the
German Nazi mass genocide machinery. I rather wish to appeal to his
sensitivity and responsibility for offering that kind of wording to the
public of the newspaper which for decades has been seen as a media ethics
standards setter. Also the editors of the mentioned obituary must be
questioned about the quality of their job in terms of  thoughtful
proofreading.

The timeline of "The New York Times" using phrases like "Polish death camps"
is fairly long. Any time the newspaper labeled Nazi death camps in
Germany-occupied Poland as "Polish" , it meant devilish switch between the
perpetrators and the victims. May be this time the editorial board of  "The
New York Times" should once and for all incorporate the usage of "Polish
death camps" into the set of the paper's internal guidelines and editors'
wording advisory.

I am quite aware of the unfortunate ambiguity of the English language which
defines "Polish death camps" as simply geographically located in Poland. But
at the same time this may clearly indicate that those camps were operated by
Poland. It more than suggests to the reades that they were part of the
"Polish genocide" as "The San Francisco Chronicle" disgracefully stated in
its New Year's edition (nice wishes for the Polish Americans, aren't
they -?) and then refused to publish a letter to the editor authored not by
an outraged Pole but by the activist of an important Jewish foundation in
the Bay Area.

The dreadful Holocaust period of gas chambers and the brutal killing of the
innocent people for handing over a glass of water to the human
dignity-stripped Jew (which was the case of the Nazi law in occupied Poland,
exclusively) slowly enters the written history. It certainly demands from
our generations to be more cautious about the historical truth then ever.

On a sunny day in 1940, a young gentleman in his twenties was captured by
Gestapo on one of the streets of Krakow, Poland. A bunch of false ID cards,
reportedly kennkarten for the Jews, were found on him. He was immediately
deported to Auschwitz I Camp (at that time, only the Polish people were
inmates there), and had his number - 246 (three digits, one of the first
groups deported !) - tattooed on his arm. A few weeks later he was shot to
death there. Thas young man was the son of my grandmother's sister.

Please, don't you write "Polish death camps" anymore; just don't ruin my
faith in the principles of "The New York Times" and its proud role in the
public service of mass media that I have believed in for so many years.

       Hailed as one of America's outstanding young ensembles, the
Manhattan -based CASSATT STRING QUARTET has performed throughout North America,
Europe and the Far East. Formed in 1985, the quartet is celebrated for its
commitment to American music and for its tireless leadership as teachers at
numerous universities and conservatories. The ensemble was formed in 1985 with
the encouragement of the Juilliard Quartet, and their numerous awards include a
Tanglewood Chamber Music fellowship, two top prizes at the Banff International
String Quartet Competition, and a 1996 recording grant from the Mary Flagler

impressionist painter Mary Cassatt.Â

Academy of Music in Warsaw, as well as at the Manhattan School of Music and 
The Juilliard School in New York City. Among his mentors were such eminent
pianists as Maria Wilkomirska, Artur Balsam and Ania Dorfman, In 1968 political
circumstances forced Mr. Markowicz and his family to leave Poland and resettle
in the United States, where as a scholarship student he continued his musical
education. Currently he divides his musical activities between performing, music
education and music criticism . He is a sought after soloist and chamber
musician , and in that capacity he has performed all over the United States, as
well as several European countries; he recently partnered with renowned Polish
contralto Ewa Podles for recitals in Spain.  In addition, Mr. Markowicz has
been active for many years as a highly regarded music
reviewer for the Nowy Dziennik (Polish Daily News), the leading Polish language

Prepare yourself.  Ewa Podles is a phenomenon!  On Monday, February 13, at 8
pm, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Philadelphia Chamber Music
Society (PCMS) is presenting the Polish-born operatic superstar for the fourth
time in five years.  Possessing a rare and astounding contralto voice--a 3
octave powerhouse--, Ms. Podles has developed a near fantical international
following.  Opera News hails Ewa Podles as "unquestionably the most gifted
contralto on the music scene today." "Her voice is a throwback to the Golden
Age," raves The Boston Globe.  The critics have called Ewa Podles "a vocal
hurricane"; "a force of nature"; "without Peer."   "The National Post headlined
a review, "All hail the goddess," then lauded her voice as "one of the wonders
of the world."  Come and hear why.
       Ms. Podles' program will include songs by Chopin and Tchaikovsky,
Schumann's Frauenliebe und leben, Op. 42, and De Falla, Siete Canciones
Populares Espanolas.
