Israel's Ampal seeks Chapter 11 over Egypt gas loss: media ...

JERUSALEM, Aug 30, 2012 (AFP) -

Energy company Ampal-American Israel Corp has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing losses caused by a halt in Egyptian gas supplies to the Jewish state, business daily Globes said Thursday.

Ampal, controlled by Israeli businessman Yosef Maiman and which owns 12.5 percent of Israeli-Egyptian consortium East Mediterranean Gas (EMG), filed its application on Wednesday with the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, the Israeli newspaper said.

In April, Egypt scrapped its gas supply deal with EMG, signed under the rule of ousted President Hosni Mubarak, citing what an official called the consortium?s failure ?to respect conditions stipulated in the contract.?

The sale of gas to Israel, which signed a 1979 peace treaty with Egypt, has always been controversial in the Arab world?s most populous country. It was the largest trade deal between the two former foes.

The pipeline supplying Israel and Jordan, which crosses the troubled Sinai peninsula, has been hit by bomb attacks 15 times since the uprising which toppled Mubarak in February 2011.

?In December 2011, Ampal announced that it could not meet its debt payments,? Globes said.

Exports to Israel began in the spring of 2008, in accordance with a deal signed three years earlier which came in for heavy criticism from Egypt?s Muslim Brotherhood, which subsequently won elections after the fall of Mubarak.

Under the 15-year deal worth $2.5 billion, EMG was to sell 1.7 billion cubic metres a year.

Globes said that Ampal?s share price on the Nasdaq in New York fell 78.5 percent on Wednesday to $0.60. According to the website of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, as of 2:05 pm (1105 GMT) it had fallen 35 percent to 7.20 shekels ($1.79).

According to Globes, Ampal said it had been trying to negotiate agreement with its bondholders for eight months, and had submitted several proposals, the latest of which was published on July 17 and amended on July 30.

Israel generates 40 percent of its electricity from natural gas and until last year, Egypt provided 43 percent of its gas supplies.

In the absence of Egyptian gas, Israel has been pushing for the speedy exploitation of several recently-discovered gas fields off its northern coast.

Google offering Google for businesses, free until the end of 2013

Google offering Google for businesses, free until the end of 2013

Google is bringing the enterprise-friendly elements of its Apps platform into Google+ in order to help businesses collaborate on projects online. The company's been using the service internally, but feels it's time to launch, in Google tradition, a "full preview" with a free and open beta that'll run until the end of 2013. The feature set includes private sharing, admin tools and, most impressively, hangouts directly integrated into Calendar, Gmail and Docs -- letting you video chat with multiple colleagues while you draft that project proposal, or resignation letter. Apps chief Clay Bavor hasn't mentioned how much the service will cost when the preview period finishes, but we'd be surprised if it was much more than what it currently charges if it's trying to snare the Yammer and Salesforce crowds.

Robot drivers learn to react like startled critters

9 hrs.

Robot drivers of the future may steer clear of potholes, toppled power lines and stray cats thanks to an artificial neural network modeled after the fear-response mechanism in mammals.

The system, called STARTLE, uses existing hardware and sensors to scan the environment for threats. If one is detected, it will cue other systems to deal with it swiftly.

The system is programmed to kick into gear when it notices something abnormal. That could be a pothole, which it focuses resources to steer around, or?a child running out into the street after a soccer ball, prompting it to hit the brakes.

New Scientist has the details:

The design mimics the amygdala, which provides a rapid response to threats. The amygdala helps small animals to deal with complex, fast-changing surroundings, allowing them to ignore most sensory stimuli.

STARTLE was developed Roke Manor Research, a Hampshire, England, based research and development firm that boasts a ?diverse portfolio of products protecting military people and platforms against a constantly changing threat.?

With that kind of background, we can expect to see STARTLE outfitted on tanks and Humvees, but this type of technology will almost certainly find a home in the robot cars destined to soon clog our roadways.?

In fact, similar safety mechanisms are under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where robotic co-pilots take over the wheel when it senses a driver is about to crash.

Immune System Supplements: For A Healthy, Long Lasting | Nutrition


Health and Fitness | Nutrition | * Written by James | Tuesday, 28 August 2012 21:21 | Word Count: 457

Now a day?s people are becoming more and more conscious regarding their health and related problems, in fact they have become dietary conscious as well. For this the value of dietitian has increased to a huge extent in past few years, as these days people really want to know if the food they are taking or consuming is having any nutrition value or not. After the increase in number of people having health problems because of more intake of unhealthy food everybody now wants to include more of healthy food in their diet, which have content of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, fibers etc. But this is something which cannot be achieved in one day itself there for these various health supplements are available in the market separately for men and women both.

We all are well aware that after a certain age the needs of men and women becomes different, as for men more supplements are required to improve their immune system which will help their heart to work properly, and even increase and improve their sex life. Similarly more Himalaya health supplements required for women so that they can increase their resistance power, to be fit and fine during their mensuration cycle, as they have a family back to look after. And none the less physical fitness is necessary to accomplish daily routine task as well. If you want to be healthy (both physically and mentally) it is necessary to be educated enough to have knowledge about all supplements which are available in local market as well as through online shopping in India. Especially mothers should give knowledge to their daughters about being healthy and hygiene.

For individuals information various brands are available in market these days which are working hard so that they can provide health supplements products for both men as well as women. For example one such known brand which is dealing in field is named as Himalaya, which is coming up with its products named as Himalaya health supplements. While getting more into the basics we came to know that this company was established in the year 1930 and all its products are made from organic things and ayurvedic ingredients. After becoming a well known and a well established brand in country, all its products are now available online, which means checking details related to these products or ordering them is quite easy with the option of online shopping in India. But one should always consider a doctor before using or consuming these products, as excess of anything is harmful even if they are health related items like protein or vitamin. Lastly just be cautious before buying and consuming any product as being healthy is good and leading healthy life is important to fulfill all your duties.

Diaz and Others Throw Weight Behind Armory Ice Center Plan ...

Breaking Bronx
-->

August 28, 2012 at 4:29 PM

By Alex Kratz

Last Thursday, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and a handful of local officials came out in strong support of a proposal to turn the Kingsbridge Armory into a world-class ice sports center. The video above shows snippets from the new conference, which also featured the project?s two most prominent supporters ? former NY Rangers star Mark Messier and gold medal winning figure skater Sarah Hughes. Lehman College President Ricardo Fernandez also attended to show his support.

Diaz said the group assembled ? including State Senator Gustavo Rivera (who can see the Armory from his apartment, he likes to say), Councilman Oliver Koppell (who reminded everyone it was his dream to have ice sports at the Armory 15 years ago), Assemblyman Nelson Castro (who thanked Diaz for inviting him) ? was speaking as a unified voice to the mayor?s office and the city?s Economic Development Corporation, which will decide on a developer for the Armory sometime in September.

Notably not present, however, was Bronx Councilman Fernando Cabrera, whose district includes the Armory. Although Cabrera wasn?t available to attend the press conference due to conflicting meeting with the police commissioner, his chief of staff, Greg Faulkner, said Cabrera has not taken a public position on which developer he prefers. A few months ago, Cabrera was said to be down on the ice center plan because it didn?t offer enough community benefits. But Faulkner said the first-term councilman truly has not decided on which project would benefit the community more.

The other group in the running is Young Woo & Associates, which wants to turn the Armory into a creative market for local artisans and entrepreneurs. The project would also include a recreational facilities, some mid-sized retail, a gym and a movie theater. According to the Daily News, Young Woo responded, saying it was ?very surprised and obviously disappointed? by the borough president?s endorsement and defended their plan, called Mercado Mirabo, as the option that would ?offer the most significant benefits to the surrounding community and all the residents of The Bronx.? (Young Woo announced today that the Hip Hop Museum will be part of the overall development plan for Mercado Mirabo.)

During the press conference, Diaz was asked why he supported the ice project over the Young Woo market project. He said he liked the other project, but liked the ice project better. He said the ice project would pumped more money into the local economy and wouldn?t compete with the area?s small businesses.

Asked by BronxTalk host Gary Axelbank if Bronxites (not known for their affinity toward hockey or figure skating) would actually use the ice rinks, Diaz said: ?There?s an old adage, Gary. If you build it, they will come.?

More on this in next week?s Norwood News, but this should get the conversation going.

Aspirin may help men with prostate cancer live longer, study suggests

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Men who have been treated for prostate cancer, either with surgery or radiation, could benefit from taking aspirin regularly, says a new study that includes a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Taking aspirin is associated with a lower risk of death from prostate cancer, especially in men with high risk disease, according to a multicenter study published in today's issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Kevin Choe, assistant professor of radiation oncology at UT Southwestern, is first author of the paper.

Preclinical studies have shown that aspirin and other anticoagulation medications may inhibit cancer growth and metastasis, but clinical data have been limited previously. The study looked at almost 6,000 men in the Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) database who had prostate cancer treated with surgery or radiotherapy.

About 2,200 of the men involved ? 37 percent ? were receiving anticoagulants (warfarin, clopidogrel, enoxaparin, and/or aspirin). The risk of death from prostate cancer was compared between those taking anticoagulants and those who were not.

The findings demonstrated that 10-year mortality from prostate cancer was significantly lower in the group taking anticoagulants, compared to the non-anticoagulant group ? 3 percent versus 8 percent, respectively. The risks of cancer recurrence and bone metastasis also were significantly lower. Further analysis suggested that this benefit was primarily derived from taking aspirin, as opposed to other types of anticoagulants.

The suggestion that aspirin, a frequently prescribed and relatively well-tolerated medication, may improve outcomes in prostate cancer is of particular interest, Dr. Choe said, since prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer among men and the second-leading cancer killer in the U.S.

"The results from this study suggest that aspirin prevents the growth of tumor cells in prostate cancer, especially in high-risk prostate cancer, for which we do not have a very good treatment currently," Dr. Choe said. "But we need to better understand the optimal use of aspirin before routinely recommending it to all prostate cancer patients."
