Nuvilex's Medical Marijuana Segment Could Mirror Israel's Success

SOURCE: Goldman Small Cap Research, Inc.

BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - Jul 31, 2013) - Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm focused on the small cap and microcap sectors, notes that considering the success of some of the programs in Israel in treating cancer patients with cannabis, Nuvilex Inc.'s (OTCQB: NVLX) subsidiary, Medical Marijuana Sciences, Inc. may elect to emulate some of that country's initiatives.

In Israel, the medical-marijuana industry has flourished. Today, medical marijuana is prescribed to 11,000 patients, up from 1,800 in 2009, according to the Israeli Health Ministry. It is used to treat an extensive list of illnesses including cancer, Parkinson's, Tourette syndrome, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Importantly, while some cancer patients do smoke medical marijuana, in most cases, the drug is delivered via pill, liquid, food and even vapor. These delivery method alternatives are a bit broader than what is typically found in the U.S.

Perhaps the reason for the forward-thinking of Israeli scientists is the long history of medical marijuana research in Israel, which according to a recent article in Tablet magazine, traces its roots to nearly 50 years ago.

Much like in the U.S., despite the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) inherent in cannabis that is responsible for the "high," Israeli researchers prefer to remove the THC and raise the concentration of the non-psychoactive cannabidiol, or CBD, which has documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In fact, in the 1960's, Israel was a world leader in research on marijuana and its components conducted under the so-called grandfather of cannabis, professor Raphael Mechoulam of Hebrew University, who first isolated the THC component.

Going forward, as Americans continue to embrace the use of marijuana for its medicinal properties coupled with the elimination of THC from cannabis "extracts" and a concentration on the use of CBD as a therapeutic agent, Nuvilex's choice of developing CBD-based treatments for serious cancers becomes validated. Furthermore, a combination therapy for pancreatic cancer that combines a CBD-based treatment with its high profile live-cell encapsulation-based treatment for that disease may well be in Nuvilex's future.

Since the summertime is also a vacation period for the country's legislators, the medical marijuana space has been a bit quiet of late. However, once legislatures return to session, it is likely that this industry segment will enjoy accelerated opportunities.

New Material Could Cool Gadgets Even Better Than Diamonds Do (Wait, What?)

As electronic devices get increasingly tiny, heat management becomes a bigger and bigger problem. In gadgets that can't practically house a fan, heat sinks do the job of keeping sensitive electronics cool. So far, the best-performing heat transfer material has been diamond, which any rap video will remind you is crazy expensive. Now, physicists have found that a boron compound could outperform all of Jay-no-hyphen-Z's ice.

Verizon NFL Mobile

Does anyone utilize this service? The premium service is $5 a month and you can stream live NFL games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights, the NFL Network, and NFL Redzone plus a few other minor features.

http://www.verizoninsider.com/nfl/mobile

I am going to give it a shot this season, or at least for a few months. I really want the NFL Redzone and I am not going to pay DirecTV $300 or whatever they are charging to get it.

Now I just need to figure out a way to transfer the feed from my phone to my TV or tablet because even on smartphones those screens arent big enough and the service is only for phones. The other concern I have is the video quality while on 4G. I was just streaming the NFL Network channel while on 4G and it was a bit grainy. It even cut out one time. I assume people will pay for this service because they want to watch NFL stuff while away from their home wifi, unless they are at a bar or friends house with wifi.

Hostage-taker, six others killed in Florida apartment shooting

By Jane Sutton

MIAMI (Reuters) - Seven people were shot and killed at an apartment building in a Miami suburb early Saturday, including the suspected gunman who was holding two hostages when a SWAT team moved in, police said.

The hostages were rescued unharmed, Hialeah Police Sergeant Eddie Rodriguez told NBC News.

The standoff began on Friday evening during an argument between the gunman and the husband and wife who ran the apartment complex. Their bodies were among the six found after the SWAT team moved in on Saturday morning, police said.

The gunman lived in a fourth-floor apartment with his mother, the Miami Herald quoted the landlords' daughter, Shamira Pisciotti, as saying.

The couple, 78-year-old Italo Pisciotti and 68-year-old Samira Pisciotti, went to the unit to discuss a problem with the gunman, who opened fire and killed them both, their daughter told the newspaper.

Three other victims were found shot to death in that building and one was walking into a building across the street when the gunman shot him from a balcony, police said.

The shooter was barricaded inside a fifth-floor apartment with the two hostages when police negotiators made contact with him during the night. The SWAT team swarmed in after the talks broke down about 2 a.m., the Herald said.

The apartment complex in the blue-collar, mostly Hispanic community housed about 90 families.

Green paint splattered on the Lincoln Memorial

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Lincoln Memorial was temporarily closed Friday after someone splattered a splash of green paint on the statue.

The apparent vandalism was discovered around 1:30 a.m. Friday on the statue, the pedestal and the floor, U.S. Park Police said. No words, letters or symbols were visible in the paint.

The marble Lincoln statute had green paint on its shins, chair and base, as well as on the floor of the memorial building.

Capt. Steven Booker said the paint spill "appears intentional based off of the splatter." Police were reviewing security camera footage to try to identify possible suspects, he said. No suspects had been identified by Friday afternoon. Officials said they would not release the security footage because the investigation is ongoing.

The memorial will be closed until the National Park Service maintenance crew can clean up the paint, which is expected to happen later Friday.

National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson said the memorial will be returned to the condition it was in before the vandalism.

"It is not permanent damage," she said. "Our historic preservation crew knows exactly what they need to do."

The process of removing the paint was expected to last throughout much of the day, Johnson said.

The memorial, one of the most popular sites on the National Mall, was dedicated in 1922 to the nation's 16th president. The building was designed by Henry Bacon, and Daniel French sculpted the statue of Lincoln. It sits at the opposite end of the National Mall from the Capitol, facing the monument to George Washington.

The memorial has served as a symbol of equality and reunification after the Civil War. It was the site of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington, along with other historic moments.

The Lincoln Memorial is generally open around the clock to visitors. Park rangers leave their posts about 10 p.m. and return about 9 a.m. daily. U.S. Park Police, however, maintain 24-hour patrols at the memorial, said Lt. Pamela Smith.

Microsoft retrasa el lanzamiento de Kinect Sports Rivals

Kinect Sports no es una marca consolidada en los jugadores tradicionales, pero result? un ?xito entre los fans de los controles por movimiento, llegando a comercializar para finales del a?o pasado m?s de 6 millones de copias.

Ante tal ?xito y la inclusi?n de Kinect desde f?brica en la pr?xima consola de Microsoft, Kinect Sports para Xbox One era algo seguro. El juego fue anunciado durante la pasada edici?n de la E3, anunciando que estar?a disponible para el estreno de la plataforma. Ese escenario no va m?s.

Polygon inform? que Kinect Sports Rivals no estar?a disponible para el lanzamiento de la Xbox One, hecho que posteriormente fue confirmado por Microsoft. El juego de deportes efectivamente aparecer? a la venta durante el pr?ximo a?o (primavera 2014 del hemisferio norte), sin contar con motivos oficiales o detalles tras esta decisi?n.

Por un lado, el juego estar? presente en la pr?xima feria gamescom y en PAX Prime, eventos a realizarse durante agosto. Por otro, el juego se hab?a comercializado con varias consolas en la preventa realizada en Estados Unidos, as? que esto generar? consecuencias en esas compras. Y es as? como la?Xbox One se queda sin uno de los juegos para su lanzamiento, quiz?s uno de los m?s atractivos para los jugadores casuales.

Apple's iPhone 4 Drives Global Growth: Here's What It Means For A New, Low-Cost iPhone Model

Apple is cashing in big on three-year old tech, according to its earnings results last night. As the Wall Street Journal points out, it's seeing the iPhone 4 leading to big growth in markets like India, and buttressing Apple's fortunes against low-cost devices based on competing mobile platforms like Android. The iPhone 4 is a key driver of Apple's record 31.2 million iPhones, the company explained on its earnings call, but it's probably best to consider this an audition.

Google letting developers in on the Chromecast action with Google Cast SDK

Now that Google has let its $35 Chromecast HDMI dongle out of the bag at its breakfast press event, it's gonna need developers to chip in some apps for it. To help boost that effort, the company is releasing the Google Cast SDK to help those folks bring content from mobile and the web to TVs. By using the kit, developers won't need to build new applications for the big screen from scratch; they'll just need to make a few tweaks to their existing mobile apps. Mountain View expects Google Cast tech to be embedded in future hardware from its partners, with Chromecast being "the first instantiation" of such an ecosystem. You can now grab a preview (at the source) for iOS, Android and Chrome -- which is good news, since the wee dongle already appears to be sold out on Play.

BEIJING ? Rescuers with shovels and sniffer dogs combed through collapsed hillsides today as the death toll rose to 89 from a strong earthquake in a farming region of northwest?China.

Another five people were listed as missing and 628 injured in Monday morning?s quake near the city of Dingxi in Gansu?province.

About 123,000 people were affected by the quake, with 31,600 moved to temporary shelters, the provincial earthquake administration said on its website. Almost 2,000 homes were completely destroyed, and about 22,500 damaged, the administration?said.

The quake toppled brick walls and telephone lines, shattered mud-and-tile-roofed houses and sent cascades of dirt and rock down hillsides that blocked roads and slowed rescue efforts by crews trying to reach remote?areas.

Hospitals set up aid stations in parking lots to accommodate large numbers of injured, while hundreds of paramilitary People?s Armed Police fanned out to search for victims in the region of terraced farmland where the quake struck about 760 miles west of?Beijing.

Damage was worst in Min county in Dingxi?s rural southern portion, where scores of homes were damaged and telephone and electricity services knocked out, Dingxi Mayor Tang Xiaoming told state broadcaster CCTV. All but three of the deaths, all the missing and most of the injured were in Min, a likely result of shoddy?construction.

Residents said the shaking lasted about one minute, but wasn?t strong enough to cause major damage in urban areas, where buildings are more solidly?built.

The government?s earthquake monitoring center said the quake was magnitude-6.6, while the U.S. Geological Survey said it was 5.9. Measurements can often varyy if different monitoring equipment is?used.

Facing Lawsuit Over Unsigned Shelter Contracts, John Liu Says He Won't Let Mayor "Bully" Him

John Liu: (No) bully for you, Mayor Bloomberg.

Our Jordan Melendrez reports and photographs:

"I would hope that there is nothing personal in the work that we all have to do for the people of New York City," the controller said Tuesday morning of Bloomberg's lawsuit over Liu's rejection of contracts for two homeless shelters.

"I would hope that there are no politics being played in this lawsuit that he has filed," Liu said. "I'm never going to back down just because the mayor tries to be a bully."

Bloomberg and the Department of Homeless Services have accused Liu of doing exactly that -- playing politics -- by refusing to sign off on the shelter contracts with Aguila Inc. His failure to do so, DHS Commissioner Michele Ovesey said this week, is "reckless and irresponsible."

Liu, one of a slew of candidates vying to succeed Bloomberg, addressed the contracts at a press conference called on a different topic: A $127 million subsidy to entice grocery-delivery service FreshDirect to operate in the South Bronx instead of heading to New Jersey.

The project has angered a contingent of local residents who say they were largely left out of the process.

"The salt in the wound [is] that they would go ahead and put this in the South Bronx without any opportunity for the community to have any kind of meaningful input," said Liu, who today cast the sole no vote on the Industrial Development Agency grant.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. said in a statement that the vote "represented another step forward not only for the FreshDirect project, but the continued expansion of positive economic development in the Bronx."

But Liu said his office's audits show such funds could be more wisely spent.
?
"What they are doing is giving huge amounts of taxpayers' money to private companies," he said. "We found that a vast majority of these subsidies wound up creating no jobs."

We've reached out to City Hall for comment...

CANADA EXPERIENCES EXTREME WEATHER: Is Geo-Engineering The Culprit?

Yesterday, shortly after the questionable HAARP-shut-down reports made their way around the internet and were refuted by Dutchsinse and others, there were over 30 tornado warnings in Ontario.?? Quebec also suffered extreme weather (1 person died) and so did Saskatchewan.? Golf-ball sized hail was seen in Regina.

In Quebec The Weather Network reported,

Hundreds of thousands of people are without power across southern Quebec due to the intense weather.

Fallen trees and downed power lines left a lot of work for Hydro Quebec employees.

At its peak, Montreal and the Laurentians had over 130,000 people without power.

There are still widespread power outages.

Currently almost 60,000 people have no electricity in Montreal, over 110,000 in the Laurentians and 69,000 people are without power in Laval.

You can find a list of affected areas here:

For Ontario, The Weather Network reported,

At one point, more than 2.5 million people across southern Ontario were under a tornado warning ? major population centres stretching from Niagara Falls through to Mississauga and Peel Region, along with areas near Orangeville, Barrie and parts of Ottawa.

Those were eventually dropped, with no tornadoes confirmed, but Environment Canada says at least three funnel clouds were reported.

Here?s a video of the rain in Hamilton:

This news anchor at The Weather Network was mentioning that a caller had said something like ?I?ve never seen clouds that look like that in my life? and she attempted to reassure us that these are indeed normal ?mammatus clouds? (although it seems that this 5minute video was taken down and replaced by a 2minute video where they do not discuss the mammatus clouds).

Are they normal?

I did a search for these clouds and found some that looked even more dramatic (1, 2).? Even if these clouds are associated with storms, are we not indeed seeing a dramatic increase in storms and odd weather all over the world?

A couple weeks ago Toronto got flooded.? A few weeks before that, Calgary got flooded and then the RCMP came in and took people?s guns, Katrina-style.? There were compelling arguments saying that geo-engineering played a significant/direct role in the Calgary floods.? India had at least 130 people die due to flooding a couple weeks before that.? Europe had massive flooding a few weeks ago and there was so much other news happening at the time that I could barely report on it.? All I was able to find before it became ?old news? was an article titled ?Iran condoles with German flood victims?.

Right now at 8:18am, the day after the tornado warning in Ottawa I?m seeing a chemtrail right above me and the sky getting whiter and whiter (?in fact, now as I finish and proofread this article, the sky has become completely white).

In this next shot we can see what appears to be chemtrails sprayed above the clouds during the storm in Montreal.? If these are not chemtrails then they are definitely really straight long clouds seemingly stretching all the way across the sky.

Everyone's Talking About The Huge Stampede Of ... - Business Insider

As the market sails to new highs, the floodgates have broken open.

Money is pouring like crazy into stocks, which is of course classic investor psychology. Nobody buys low. People like to buy high.

In Goldman Sachs' latest "Weekly Kickstart" note, strategist David Kostin relays the discussion the firm is having with clients. The discussions are all about retail fund flows, and the rush of money into stocks.

The 5% S&P 500 pullback in June did not derail strong flows into equities although the recent focus on Fed policy and potential for QE tapering has overshadowed an important shift in flows that appears to favor retail sponsorship of equities. Retail equity sponsorship is inflecting higher. This week the Goldman Sachs Rotation Index reached its highest point since late 2008, indicating that retail mutual fund flows have a higher risk appetite and bias towards equity funds.

The drivers of that shift have been $50 bn of outflows from taxable bond mutual funds and ETFs and $30 bn of flows into domestic equity funds since the start of June. During 2Q $28 bn of assets flowed into domestic equity funds vs. $27 bn into taxable bond funds. Those flows reflect strong relative outperformance of stocks versus bonds as the 10-year US Treasury bond posted its third straight quarter of negative total returns in 2Q. The Treasury has lagged the S&P 500 by 20% in 2013, and through June the S&P 500 information ratio is on pace for a 78th percentile performance since 1962.

Retail equity allocation is now overweight vs. its 20-year average of 68.4%. The mix of retail flows continues to rebalance the mutual fund asset allocation. We estimate retail investors have 69% of assets in equity funds, which is 70 bp above average since 1992 and up from 65% in 2012. Within that equity allocation a structural shift in favor of international funds is clear while bond holdings show an overweight in investment grade corporate vs. underweight in municipal bond funds.

This chart from the note is Goldman's own "Rotation Index" which looks at relative stock-vs-fixed income fund flows. As you can see, the rotation into stocks is surging like mad in recent weeks.

Goldman Sachs

Meanwhile, the topic of retail money rushing into equity ETFs was also on the mind of Mike O'Rourke of JonesTrading, who wrote about this in his "Closing Print" note, which was sent out last night.

O'Rourke did some number crunching to see which sector ETFs were garnering the most interest from investors:

There are some trends that we thought were interesting, such as the XLF.? Although the Financials are only up 26% year to date, the ETF market cap is up by 85%.? Of all sector ETF?s, Financials has the largest market cap, which is 50% greater than Technology?s XLK.? It is likely many investors opt for their technology exposure in the lager QQQ.? Despite the uninspiring performance of Tech, the market cap of the XLK has grown nearly 40% this year.?

The XLY has seen its market cap grow 77% since the start of the year versus 25% gain for the Consumer Discretionary Sector.? Similarly, the XLI has experienced 50% market cap growth versus the 20% year to date gain for the Industrial sector.? The IWM has experienced strong flow activity with the market cap being up 65% year to date versus the 25% gain for the Russell 2000.? Likewise the SPY has experienced a 28% growth in market cap versus 18% performance for the S&P 500.? While it is hard to know how much flows of this size influence the broad market, the one thing this clear is there are investors making a big exposure grab.? The activity is more about buying the market and sectors and less about individual stocks.

Google Glass Patent shows add-on kits to be made available for those with prescription glasses

The latest on the Google Glass front is a real sight for sore eyes. Google Glass kits will also become easily available for those require prescription glasses. This might be something we naturally assumed seeing has a larger portion of the world population does wear specials, myself included in that survey. The new add on kits are designed by Google and were already showcased at their May I/O event. The kit will be available in stores and is a sort of DIY scenario. Parts and materials will be available with the kit and from the looks of the schematics and drawings, it seems like an easy fit.

Part of the kit will include arms for the side that would house the circuitry, power packs and other communication modules. Aluminium would be used as the rim but it?s also possible that other metals like stainless steel, titanium, nickel, gold, or various alloys would not be a problem to use. It would even be possible to fit the arms into plastic casings as long as the interior was solid enough to safely house the components. The patent has already been sent in and although it?s far from ready to be deployed, we?re presuming a few changes and possibly customisation options would become available when it?s ready for retail. It also looks like you could simply tack on these components to your existing pair of glasses instead opting to purchase a completely new set that was designed to work with the Google Glass kit. That would be so much better for us all. In another figure of the patent design, magnets seem to be used to possible clip on the frames so they could be detached easily when not required.

As of now, since it?s only a patent filing, there?s no word on the actual availability of the kits yet, let alone a price tag. Let?s just hope that it doesn?t become more expensive simple because of the added ?prescription? angle.

Galaxy S4 "sound and shot" feature - extract sound

The Galaxy S4 has a neat feature called "sound and shot" (maybe "sound & shot"?). It will let you record up to 9 seconds of sound with a picture.

However, I want just the sound out of a picture I took, and I cannot find how to do that. There is no intuitive way to do this in the current version of Android or the gallery app. I know they must be storing the sound file somewhere, but apparently it is not next to the picture.

This article explains that it is not possible to listen to the sound on anything but an S4. Seems kinda short-sighted to me.

My guesses are they implemented by either:

1. storing the sound hidden within the .jpeg itself or
2. they have a separate hidden place they put a .wav or .3gp file or something.

I have searched the phone for the latter, and cannot find it. Given that the file size is almost double a normal photo sitting right net to it, I am inclined to think it is buried in the .jpeg file.

Any guesses as to how to get that out? and what the file format is?

Instant View: The city of Detroit files for bankrupcty

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The city of Detroit filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, making it the largest-ever municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history and marking a new low for a city that was the cradle of the U.S. automotive industry.

In a letter accompanying the filing, Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder said he had approved a request from Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection saying "it is clear that the financial emergency in Detroit cannot be successfully addressed outside of such a filing, and it is the only reasonable alternative that is available.

COMMENTS:

TOM METZOLD, CO-DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL INVESTMENTS AT EATON VANCE MANAGEMENT:

"More than anything, it's actually a relief, because they can now get negotiations done and validated under the auspices of a court."

CHRIS MIER, CHIEF MUNICIPAL STRATEGIST, LOOP CAPITAL:

"I don't think this an event that has a impact on the overall market. It is very well anticipated, I don't think anybody was caught by surprise here.

"I don't (think it could be a precedent) and the reason is it is a third standard deviation event, it is so incredibly unusual for a city of that size to go into a sixty-year tailspin and ultimately arrive at a point where it has to file bankruptcy that I don't expect it to ever be replicated.

"Detroit was the fourth largest city in the country for all of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and now they have lost more than half of their population. I looked at the list of the top 25 cities now and I can't think of one that is even close to that kind of situation."

ROBERT GORDON, A CLARK HILL ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE RETIREMENT SYSTEMS OF THE CITY OF DETROIT:

"At a meeting with creditors on July 11, Orr said that the mere filing of a Chapter 9 petition doesn't preclude parties from continuing negotiations thereafter.

"This position appears to ignore the bankruptcy's code requirement that a municipality engage in robust, good-faith negotiations before seeking Chapter 9 relief. While the Retirement Systems look forward to such negotiations, these have not yet occurred."

DAN HECKMAN, SENIOR FIXED INCOME STRATEGIST FOR U.S. BANK WEALTH MANAGEMENT:

"To us, it doesn't come as any kind of shock. We believe that there was very limited flexibility for the city other than to file for bankruptcy. It was clear probably several weeks ago that many of the creditors were not willing to accept the severe and dramatic cuts."

"If there's any negative impact on the muni market it will be localized, whether it's Detroit or weaker credits within Michigan."

"We don't think that this proves there's a systematic problem in the muni market itself. Fundamentals have been improving.

"You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in this market just because Detroit filed for bankruptcy. I think that would be a major mistake for investors."

AMY BRUNDAGE, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESWOMAN:

"While leaders on the ground in Michigan and the city's creditors understand that they must find a solution to Detroit's serious financial challenge, we remain committed to continuing our strong partnership with Detroit as it works to recover and revitalize and maintain its status as one of America's great cities.

JACK ABLIN, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, BMO PRIVATE BANK IN CHICAGO:

"It's not a huge surprise but now the question is how they will move forward and this could be kind of a precedent for other municipalities. Anyone concerned about some other cities like Chicago, cities in California, what this could do is accelerate a trend where states begin to withdraw their support for cities in an effort sure up their finances and we could potentially see more fillings, not on the same scale of Detroit, but certainly some other ones coming out of the woodwork.

"To me the muni market is kind of like real estate, there are thousands of issues and they are all pretty issue specific so it hasn't really tarnished my view of munis collectively.

RICHARD LARKIN, DIRECTOR OF CREDIT ANALYSIS AT HJ SIMS:

"I've said it before: I think bankruptcy was the original goal of Emergency Manager Kevin Orr from before the day he was hired.

"This bankruptcy isn't pre-packaged; it's premeditated.

"I have been projecting that Detroit would go in bankruptcy since January 2011 so I am not surprised if they file for bankruptcy because I saw this coming but I am surprised by the lack of participation by the state of Michigan in trying to solve its problems.

"Detroit getting into trouble? Not a surprise. The State of Michigan not coming to help? It is a big surprise, and I think I am not the only one to say that. In the past Michigan had a good reputation of a state helping out its localities when they were in difficulties. This time it seems they are washing their hands out of that and investors will remember that."

"Do I expect a major impact sending shockwaves and seeing prices falling and yields spiking? No I do not because most people had expected it and (a bankruptcy) is already priced in the market, but I could be wrong."

ROBERT AMODEO, PORTFOLIO MANAGER AT WESTERN ASSET IN NEW YORK:

"You'd like to hope that it is isolated. This should not come as a surprise to the market place. You'd like to think that the prices already reflect this distress but we'll see tomorrow. It's a little too late to see.

"We will see tomorrow morning. It is an important case in terms of treatment of different kinds of debt, secured vs unsecured, pension obligations and so forth. It's a very complex landscape and it's one that's going to be watched very closely by municipal investors."

RICHARD CICCARONE, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MCDONNELL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT:

Despite recent statements by emergency manager Kevyn Orr that he hoped to resolve any bankruptcy filing in less than a year, "it's going to be a long, drawn out process".

"I just don't see that happening. They're dealing with very difficult issues in which there's not very much court precedent for a major city in this arena."

"Detroit is not reflective of all cities in the country.

"This one was anticipated as a possibility for years, even before the credit crisis occurred. It was only the political support of the state which was helping keep them out earlier. They were on life support. I think Michigan had a difficult decision to make here. They had to deal with an issue in which you have such a dramatic decline in your population base? That's a humongous challenge."

(On the market) "It does provide some trembling and consternation."

"The biggest U.S. municipal bankruptcy ever filed comes at a time when the market for municipal bonds is already shaky. Outflows from municipal bond funds have been high.

"When you put a credit event together with outflows, you increase the initial risk until it works itself out. Everybody will go through a sorting out process."

"The real tremble to the bond market would be if the courts undo the secured general obligation."

MARKET REACTION: On the municipal bond market, Detroit bonds and notes traded on Thursday at record high yields, said Dominic Vonella at Municipal Market Data, a unit of Thomson Reuters.

The taxable June 15 2035 bonds traded at $38.5 with a yield of 16 percent. That compares with $76 and a yield of 8.39 percent in mid May.

Determined Mursi supporters plan rallies across Egypt

By Noah Browning and Crispian Balmer

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood called for mass protests on Friday in its campaign to reverse the army's overthrow of the elected Islamist president, but it also gave a first sign of willingness to negotiate with its opponents.

The rallies aim to show Mohamed Mursi's supporters are not ready to accept the new military-backed government. However, a Brotherhood official also told Reuters on Thursday that the movement had proposed a framework for talks mediated by the EU.

Sworn into office on Tuesday, the cabinet of interim premier Hazem el-Beblawy busied itself with tackling the nation's many woes, buying foreign wheat to replenish stocks and banking $3 billion in badly needed aid from the United Arab Emirates.

Egypt's interim President Adli Mansour will address the nation on Thursday at 9 p.m. (3 p.m. ET), state TV said. The speech comes on the eve of planned mass pro- and anti-Mursi rallies. It will be Mansour's first speech since he was sworn in on July 4.

Still stunned by the July 3 toppling of Mursi, his Muslim Brotherhood, and allies grouped in what it calls the National Alliance for Legitimacy, urged nationwide rallies on Friday, predicting millions would take to the streets.

"To every free Egyptian man and woman: Come out against the bloody military coup," the alliance said in a statement.

Brotherhood official Gehad el-Haddad, who represented the movement in previous EU-facilitated talks with other political groups, told Reuters that the organization would not retreat from its demand for the reinstatement of Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected leader.

However, signaling for the first time a formal readiness for negotiations, he said the Brotherhood had proposed through an EU envoy a framework for talks to resolve Egypt's crisis. "We never close the door to dialogue," Haddad said.

The EU envoy, Bernardino Leon, said the two sides remained far apart. It is hard to imagine the army letting Mursi return to power. The military has denied orchestrating a coup, saying it intervened to prevent chaos following mammoth protests on June 30 against Mursi's much-criticized, year-long rule.

Egypt, the most populous nation in the Arab world, is a strategic hinge between the Middle East and North Africa and has long been a vital U.S. ally in the region.

WAR WORRIES

The African Union warned on Thursday that Egypt risked being engulfed by civil war unless its government embraced Islamists - none of whom were included in the 33-strong cabinet.

Egypt's Nour Party, the country's second-biggest Islamist group which had initially backed a military-led roadmap to guide the country to new elections, said on Thursday the government would have to seek a way forward with the Muslim Brotherhood.

"I believe that those in power need to realize that increasing pressure on the Muslim Brotherhood and playing down the emotions of their supporters will lead to extremely bad results," Nour party spokesman Nader Bakkar told Reuters TV.

At least 99 people have died in street clashes since Mursi's downfall, more than half of them when troops fired on Islamist protesters outside a Cairo barracks on July 8.

A security source told the official Middle East News Agency that policing would be intensified at "all important and vital facilities" on Friday.

Tamarud, the movement which organized the massive anti-Mursi protests, has also called for rallies on Friday, including one close to a Cairo intersection where thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been holding a vigil for weeks.

It dubbed the rallies "the people against terrorism", blaming Mursi followers for recent violence.

Three members of the security forces died overnight in attacks blamed on Islamist militants in the Sinai peninsula, which borders Israel and the Gaza Strip. The militants have pledged to continue the fight until the return of Mursi, who has been held in an undisclosed location since his downfall.

Among the many accusations leveled against Mursi was mismanagement of the economy. The budget deficit has soared to about $3.2 billion a month, foreign reserves are more than 50 percent below their December 2010 levels and unemployment is more than 13 percent.

Bread has traditionally been one of Egypt's most explosive issues and an ex-minister from Mursi's government said last week that the country had less than two months' supply of imported wheat in its stocks, well below its preferred six-month supply.

Looking to narrow the shortfall, Egypt's main wheat-buying agency, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), bought 300,000 tonnes of wheat from global suppliers - only the second such purchase since February.

The cash-strapped government got a fillip with the arrival of the UAE aid, part of $12 billion that Gulf Arab states pledged after Mursi's removal. Saudi Arabia is due to transfer $2 billion in the coming days, Egypt's central bank said.

The funds should buy the cabinet time to try and fix Egypt's numerous problems, although analysts have warned it might also persuade officials to delay difficult decisions needed to right the listing economy.
