Iran on Monday urged India to forge closer military ties, especially between their two navies, officials told AFP. Iranian naval chief Sajjad Kouchaki Badelani kicked off a five-day visit with talks with local military leaders including Defence Minister K.A. Antony, Indian navy spokesman Vinay Garg told AFP. "The two sides spoke about (bilateral) maritime cooperation and about our energy needs and they called for closer cooperation," Commander Garg said.

"The talks were far-reaching in regards to our presence up to Australia and theirs across the (Indian Ocean) rim nations," added a top naval official, who did not want to be named.

Iran's ties with India were piqued over Delhi's support for an International Atomic Energy Agency demand for Tehran to freeze its nuclear programme as well as the UN watchdog's decision to report the issue to the Security Council.

Meanwhile a deal to sell Iranian gas through a 2,600 kilometre (1,600 mile) pipeline to India via rival Pakistan remains at the planning stage mainly due to diplomatic, military and economic hurdles.

India, which meets 70 percent of its oil needs through imports, mostly from the Gulf, signed a civilian nuclear energy deal last year with the United States.

Software Patch Makes Car More Fuel-Efficient

Eindhoven, Netherlands (SPX) Mar 05, 2007
A car wastes energy almost continuously. Whether it is running in first, second, or a higher gear, there is only one position of the accelerator that guarantees optimal performance. Accelerating a little less or a little bit more can cause considerable loss of energy. John Kessels has designed a way to save energy by enabling the car to achieve optimal engine performance more frequently.
