Wine from Israel is shipped to the US
This week a ship will leave Haifa, Israel, with 800 cases of 22 premium wines from 9 boutique Israeli wineries not currently available in the US, many of which are not kosher and are intended for a broad audience. The wine is imported by Israeli Wine Direct, a new specialty importer focused on introducing Americans to outstanding and often unknown wines and winemakers from Israel.
The eastern Mediterranean, which includes Israel, is the birthplace of wine. Thousands of years ago, a thriving wine scene existed in Israel, and wine from Israel was exported throughout the region. Interrupted for centuries by outside conquest, today the wine world is witnessing a re-emergence of outstanding winemaking in Israel. There are now nearly 200 wineries there, many producing outstanding wines unknown to Americans. Wine from Israel is beginning to receive international recognition by the likes of critic Robert Parker and Wine Spectator magazine.
The 22 wines are available now while they ship for pre-order in select states through the Israeli Wine Direct. Visitors can learn more about the wineries and winemakers.
Israeli Wine Direct, LLC, a Wine Direct Company, was founded by Richard Shaffer in April of 2007. The company hand-selects the best small-production wine from Israel (kosher and non-kosher) and makes them.

MediGuide has started US clinical trials of medical positioning system
MediGuide and Philips announced they have started their planned clinical trials of MediGuide’s Medical Positioning System (gMPS™) technology in the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, using the Philips Integris Allura Flat Detector catheterization lab.
Royal Philips Electronics and MediGuide have been cooperating since 2003 in the field on cardiac navigation. The gMPS™ system and the GMC™ device are CE Mark certified and are limited to investigational use only in the U.S.
The gMPS™ system is intended for intravascular evaluation of coronary anatomy. It enables real time tip positioning and navigation of an gMPS equipped diagnostic or therapeutic invasive device used in coronary or cardiac intervention in the Cath Lab environment, on both live fluoroscopy or recorded background. The system is indicated for use as an adjunct to coronary angiography.
The gMPS™ enabled GMC™ intravascular device is aimed to be used in conjunction with conventional X-ray angiography systems to enable real-time tip positioning and navigation, quantitative length measurement, 3D lumen reconstruction, qualitative 3D foreshortening indication and landmarking, in patients who are candidates for coronary angiography and/or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
The trial is conducted by Dr. Giora Weisz and Jeffrey W. Moses from Columbia NYP.
Dr. Moses said after the first patient: "The system performed beautifully. It is the first step of moving beyond fluoroscopy in coronary intervention. The potential here is enormous!"
Haifa based MediGuide, had originally spun off from the renown Elbit Systems. It is a provider of technology, solutions and applications for intra body navigation and less invasive procedures with a special focus on cardiology. Based on its proprietary MPS technology, MediGuide brings the ability to navigate MPS Enabled Devices (catheters, wires and other devices equipped with a sub millimeter MPS sensor) in the MPS Ready Cathlab environment, co-developed by MediGuide in collaboration with the leading imaging companies.
