"Something to be Truly Proud Of"

The winners of The Wall Street Journal's 2004
Technology Innovation Awards competition have been
announced. Innovators world-wide were considered.

1) The Gold award went to Sun Microsystems Inc of
California for a wireless approach to chip design.

2) The Silver award went to Given Imaging Ltd of
Yoqneam, Israel, for 'PillCam', a tiny camera that
patients swallow so that doctors can see their
digestive tract.

3) The Bronze award went to InSightec Image Guided
Treatment Ltd. of Tirat Carmel, Israel, for 'ExAblate 2000',
a nonsurgical way to destroy tumors by focusing
ultrasound waves on them.

This is a significant achievement for Israel. From a
world-wide search, Israel took two of the top three places.
This should be celebrated by the USA and brought to the
attention of the press world-wide.

Israel too often receives undeserved bad press. Let us
counter this with some positive images.

Well done Israel!!
