AT&T Accelerates Timetable for Expanding Service in MichiganAlltel and Verizon Wireless Customers Joining AT&T to Receive Free Mobile Devices on the Nation's Fastest Mobile Broadband Network

MUSKEGON, Mich., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* said today that the timetable for expanding AT&T service in Michigan has been accelerated and that it expects to complete network upgrades on wireless assets acquired from Verizon Wireless in June 2010 by the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011. That is significantly sooner than the earlier estimate for enhancing AT&T's coverage in Michigan by mid-2011. Once network integration work is completed, AT&T will launch service for Alltel customers in Muskegon and Verizon Wireless customers in Michigan Rural Service Areas (RSA) 5 and 7.(1)

Every residential Alltel customer in Muskegon and Verizon Wireless customer in RSAs 5 and 7 joining AT&T as a result of the transaction will receive an offer for a brand new AT&T handset at no additional cost.(2) Customers will be able to choose their free device from a list of the latest AT&T 3G handsets that are comparable to what they have today.(3) Additionally, the vast majority of customers choosing free comparable devices will be able to keep their existing rate plans, and none of these customers will be required to assume an additional contract term.

Customers will also have the opportunity to upgrade to a new device, like iPhone 4(R), for an additional fee and with a new two-year contract, with current AT&T rates and associated data plan.

"AT&T has been working tirelessly to upgrade the Alltel and Verizon Wireless networks to the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, and we expect that coverage in these areas will be as good as -- if not better than -- it is today, with the ability to talk and surf the Internet at the same time," said Brian Jones, director of sales, AT&T Michigan. "Our preparations will ensure that we deliver a superior customer experience when we launch service, and we look forward to expanding our presence in Michigan.

"AT&T customers have access to the nation's fastest mobile broadband network. And not only does AT&T's network cover 97 percent of all Americans, AT&T also has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider. That means our customers have voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in 200 countries."

AT&T representatives will communicate to new customers on a regular basis about any changes they can expect moving forward. For example, in the coming weeks, AT&T will send customers a letter describing the steps for choosing new devices. New devices will be mailed directly to AT&T customers' billing addresses approximately one to three weeks before service is launched in these areas.

AT&T is an industry leader in delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications.

Mobile Security Problems Will Drive Demand for Authentication ProductsMobile security threats are spurring the use of mobile authentication solutions to protect customer data, says Heavy Reading Mobile Networks Insider

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- As mobile phones become basic tools of commerce, the threat of significant theft through hacking and other illegal activities is rising, causing enterprises and network operators to scramble to find ways to protect their customers' data through mobile authentication solutions, according to the latest report from Heavy Reading Mobile Networks Insider (www.heavyreading.com/mobile-networks).

Mobile Security: The Coming Boom in Authentication examines the issues and challenges now surrounding mobile security, focusing on security authentication as a means to safeguard mobile applications. The report identifies the key industry verticals most affected by mobile security issues, and provides in-depth analysis of the technology solutions available from eight leading suppliers of mobile authentication products, including information on deployment costs.

For a list of companies included in Mobile Security: The Coming Boom in Authentication, http://img.lightreading.com/uni/pdf/mni0910_companies.pdf

"There is no question that mobile security will eventually equal - if not surpass - PC security as a threat to IT departments," notes Denise Culver, research analyst with Heavy Reading Mobile Networks Insider and author of the report. "But the reality is that enterprises and organizations should already be making moves to integrate mobile authentication as a regular business practice, as firewalls and virus scanners are utilized in the PC world today."

There are several key issues that need to be addressed today for mobile platforms to be secure, says Culver. "First is the need for implementation of standards across the industry, which is a significant challenge given the number of ways authentication can be accomplished," she explains. "There also must be standardization of deployment across the myriad of devices that already exist and that will continue to be introduced into the market."

Key findings of Mobile Security: The Coming Boom in Authentication include:

--  Enterprises are turning to mobile authentication to extend existing
services or offer new services to large-user-volume markets, while
protecting against fraud.
--  The strongest vertical for mobile authentication is the financial
industry, especially mobile banking.
--  Online betting and auction sites will turn to mobile authentication as
the cost of fraud becomes prohibitive.
--  Enterprises must be better educated about the benefits of applying
mobile authentication throughout their entire ecosystem.
--  Mobile authentication has both hard and soft cost benefits, such as
eliminating inventory management and reducing help desk costs.

Mobile Security: The Coming Boom in Authentication is available as part of an annual single-user subscription (six issues) to Heavy Reading Mobile Networks Insider, priced at $1,595. Individual reports are available for $900 (single-user license).

Verizon Wireless Expands 3G Network Coverage in Madison County- Improves coverage and capacity in Earlville and Munnsville- Provides access to 3G wireless broadband service- Meet one of Upstate New York's local Test Men, Jack Brandes

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless is investing in Madison County and expanding its local coverage with new cell sites in Earlville and Munnsville. The new site in Earlville improves coverage and capacity along portions of Route 12B between Sherburne and Hamilton, including the village of Earlville. The new site in Munnsville improves coverage and capacity along portions of Route 46 between Munnsville and Oneida, including the towns of Munnsville, Stockbridge, and Valley Mills.

This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless' voice and data services. The company has invested more than $60 billion nationwide since it was formed - $5.7 billion on average every year - and invested more than $100 million in Upstate New York in 2009.

"We've always believed even the most advanced device is only as good as the network it runs on. We continue to aggressively invest in our Upstate New York network to increase coverage and capacity for our customers, add new services, and maintain our 3G network leadership," said Gene Fassett, executive director of Network for Verizon Wireless' Upstate New York Region.

Verizon Wireless recently earned recognition from J.D. Power and Associates for "Highest Call Quality Performance among Wireless Cell Phone Users in the Northeast."

Services include wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, V CAST and V CAST Music with Rhapsody, and MobileBroadband, the company's high-speed wireless broadband network geared toward mobile professionals and business customers. It provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second, and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless' services continued during the second quarter of 2010 as the company added 1.4 million net new customers.

The company's "nation's most reliable wireless network" reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and women throughout the country. These engineers drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles more than 1 million miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 3 million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

DALLAS, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* announced today that the three upcoming Mexican National Soccer Team international friendly games will be available for streaming live, for futbol fans to continue to live soccer at the highest level. AT&T is teaming up with Univision Interactive Media to stream these highly anticipated Mexico friendlies so that fans on the go can catch the games live. The streams will be available to AT&T customers who subscribe to AT&T Mobile TV or MobiTV services**.

Customers will be able to watch all the Mexican National Team soccer action live on their AT&T wireless phones by texting "TRI" to 3421 to sign up***. The first game, Mexico vs Ecuador, will be streamed live starting at 9:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 4, 2010 (6:00 p.m. PT). Additional games will continue throughout the month against high-caliber international teams. Ten additional Mexican National Team games anticipated for 2011 will also be streamed live and available to AT&T customers.

"Following 'El Tri' is very important to our Hispanic customers," said Natalia Vargas, advertising manager, AT&T Hispanic Marketing. "We at AT&T strive to provide services that fit their lifestyle, and we also share their love of soccer."

As part of its five-year relationship with the Mexican Soccer Federation (FMF) and its national team, AT&T is committed to bringing fans the best in soccer. In addition to streaming the games live, AT&T will offer everything else a true fan needs--Mobile Video game highlights and goals; SMS alerts, scores, news and match schedules; and unique soccer content on UnivisionFutbol.com.

AT&T has a long tradition of bringing the most relevant Latino content to Hispanic consumers, including soccer, boxing, games and programming. Earlier this summer, AT&T treated fans to a Hollywood-styled advertisement campaign featuring some of Mexico's most popular national team players including Israel Castro, Efrain Juarez, Jonny Magallon and Carlos Vela. The awe-inspiring ads were created to showcase the country's rich cultural and soccer traditions, and mixed the modern elements of soccer with iconic Mexican artists and powerful pre-Columbian history.

In June and July, AT&T rolled out a star-powered soccer clinic program in 8 U.S. cities, which featured former Mexican players Claudio Suarez, Edgar Duenas and Martin Zuniga. During these clinics children learned training and dexterity tips from the pros, and shared unique moments with the players at pre-clinic autograph sessions.

Most recently, as the title sponsor of the MLS All Star Game 2010, AT&T treated fans in Houston to a one-of-a-kind futbol celebration featuring Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. Hernandez signed autographs and talked to hundreds of fans during the 2-hour store event.

Experian Launches ProtectMyID

LONDON, September 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian has announced the launch of a new service specifically aimed at protecting consumers against the growing threat of ID fraud: ProtectMyID.

ProtectMyID offers a comprehensive online service to allow consumers to keep track of where their personal information is being used to secure credit. The launch of the service follows research by Experian that shows identity fraud (http://www.protectmyid.co.uk/) is on the increase and is more widespread than ever. Experian revealed that the number of identity fraud victims who sought help from the company last year leapt by nearly 20% compared to the year before.

ProtectMyID provides credit report monitoring with text or email alerts if any credit is applied for in the user's name. Details of the activity and advice on what to do is then posted to the user's personal and secure online account. As part of the service users also have access to a dedicated Experian caseworker who can offer individual advice to help resolve the suspected ID theft (http://www.protectmyid.co.uk/whatyouget.aspx) or other fraudulent activity. Other benefits of the service include free fraud insurance to cover the cost of resolution up to GBP75,000 (provided by ARC, underwritten by AXA) and the option for CIFAS Protective Registration.

The Experian research revealed that in 2009, people were taking longer to discover that they have become a victim of fraud, indicating that fraudsters are getting better at covering their tracks; the average time taken is now 416 days, up 17 days compared to 2008. Year on year, reported fraud rose most sharply in early summer, rising by 57% in May and by 74% in June - the highest number ever reported to Experian in any single month. The average financial loss per victim was GBP1,100 in 2009 and the most extreme loss reported to Experian was for almost GBP59,000.

Commenting on the launch of the new product Peter Turner, MD of Experian Interactive, said "Identity fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK and our research shows that organised criminal fraudsters are not solely focusing on the wealthy but are now turning their attention to the wider population.

STMicroelectronics Reaches Ultimate Dimension in TV with New High-Performance Digital TV System-on-Chip and Video-Enhancement IC for Best-in-Class Motion-Compensated 3DTV and 3D GraphicsHigh-performance full-featured SoCs deliver compelling new entertainment and web-based services while slashing overall TV power consumption, and facilitating new business models for the TV industry

GENEVA, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , one of the world's largest semiconductor companies and a leader in chips for set-top boxes and digital TVs, today announced a new TV System-on-Chip (SoC) offering the first-of-its-kind integrated 3D graphics accelerator (OpenGL-ES 2.0 and OpenVG 1.1 compliant), enabling next-generation Internet TV services, exciting user interfaces and casual gaming.

ST's new FLI7540, representing the 'Freeman Ultra' line of products, powers high-performance TVs that demand exceptional video, audio, and user-interface capabilities. The FLI7540 delivers exceptionally high performance (1700+ DMIPS CPU with 256 kbytes of Level 2 cache), strong security dedicated for advanced middleware/Internet TV applications, and is compatible with worldwide digital terrestrial television (DTT) standards.

ST has also introduced a new high-quality Faroudja(TM) video-enhancement IC that dramatically reduces TV power consumption and boosts video quality for LED TVs while offering best-in-class experience for 2D/3DTV. The FLI2520 'Diamond' video-enhancement IC delivers the industry's first single-chip 2D/3D@200/240Hz with advanced MCTi(1) motion judder and blur reduction, plus 240Hz LED backlight adaptive local dimming and 480Hz backlight scanning for motion-blur reduction.

The FLI2520 is also the first TV IC offering the royalty-free VESA interconnect standard iDP (internal DisplayPort) output to the panel timing controller. For TV set and panel manufacturers, iDP substantially reduces BOM cost and system complexity, in comparison to alternative approaches.

"Our TV customers demand powerful solutions to meet the requirements in next-generation products to support extensive processing for the enhanced Internet TV and 3D video experiences," said Luigi Mantellassi, General Manager of ST's TV and Monitor Division. "The Freeman and Diamond family of TV products offer TV manufactures a solid foundation to quickly design a portfolio of compatible, high-value TV models with compelling step-up features and price points. In addition, Freeman's Internet TV, security engine, 3D graphics, and flexible software framework enable exciting new business models for both TV manufacturers and retailers, while consumers enjoy unprecedented, instant access to large vaults of content."

The BOM cost-efficient combination of FLI7540 and FLI2520 results in a unique and uncompromised range of key technologies:

--  Wealth of content access and new business models with Internet TV
--  Rich and innovative user interfaces with OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics
--  Silky smooth film- and video-motion compensation with 200/240Hz Faroudja
MCTi
--  Best quality, motion-compensated 3DTV@200/40Hz.  Also 2D->3D conversion.
--  Substantial power reduction and enhanced contrast ratio with LED
backlight adaptive local dimming

The FLI7540 is software compatible with other products in the Freeman product line, and is the culmination of the integration of world-class technologies from ST's industry-leading set-top-box chips and the Emmy(R) Award winning Faroudja video-processing technologies.

(1) Motion-Corrected Temporal Interpolation (MCTi) is an ST-proprietary technology that smooths out fast-moving 3D and 2D images

Availability and Pricing

The FLI7540 and FLI2520 and associated platforms are now sampling to qualified customers. Pricing is available to OEMs, upon request. Both products will be demonstrated at ST's private suite at IFA 2010 in Berlin.

Emmis Communications Further Extends Preferred Stock Exchange Offer and Adjourns Special Shareholder Meeting

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Emmis Communications Corporation, an Indiana corporation ("Emmis") today announced that it is further extending its offer to issue 12% PIK Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 ("New Notes") in exchange for Emmis' 6.25% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a rate of $30.00 principal amount of New Notes for each $50.00 of liquidation preference of Preferred Stock until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. The exchange offer, as previously extended, was originally scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, September 2, 2010 .

Emmis also announced that the special meeting of Emmis shareholders held at 6:30 p.m., local time, on Thursday, September 2, 2010, to vote on certain amendments to the terms of the Preferred Stock, was initially adjourned until 8:30 a.m., local time, on Friday, September 3, 2010, and subsequently adjourned until 6:30 p.m., local time, on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, at One Emmis Plaza, 40 Monument Circle, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.

Emmis has been informed that JS Acquisition, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("JS Acquisition") whose equity securities are owned entirely by Mr. Jeffrey H. Smulyan, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Emmis, and JS Acquisition, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company ("JS Parent") that is wholly owned by Mr. Smulyan, is further extending its tender offer to purchase all of Emmis' outstanding shares of Class A common stock for $2.40 per share in cash until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. The tender offer, as previously extended, was originally scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, September 2, 2010.

The offers are being further extended because Emmis, JS Parent, JS Acquisition and Mr. Smulyan are continuing their discussions in an effort to reach an agreement with Alden Global Capital ("Alden"), a private asset management company that had previously agreed to provide financing for the tender offer through an affiliate, and a group of holders of approximately 38.3% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in the aggregate who have previously indicated that they would vote against the matters to be voted on at the special meeting. Although we believe that an agreement among the various parties remains unlikely, we believe the extension is warranted due to the continuing discussions.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, September 2, 2010, 422,803 shares of Preferred Stock had been tendered into and not withdrawn from the exchange offer. In addition, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, September 2, 2010, 19,824,537 Class A shares had been tendered into and not withdrawn from the tender offer. If not withdrawn at or prior to the expiration of the tender offer, such shares would satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition.

IceWEB CEO Comments on Merger & Acquisition Activity in the Data Storage Market

STERLING, Va., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- IceWEB(TM), Inc. , www.iceweb.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, sees favorable trends in merger and acquisition activity in the data storage market.

John R. Signorello, Chairman and CEO of IceWEB, Inc., commented, "We are seeing some very exciting activity in the data storage market over the past few years. The recent bidding war for data storage provider 3PAR between Hewlett-Packard and Dell has triggered a great deal of attention to the sector."

On Monday, August 23, 2010, Hewlett-Packard Co. launched a bidding war for data-storage provider 3PAR Inc., making a $1.8 billion bid that is one-third higher than what rival Dell Inc. agreed to pay for the company. On Friday, August 27, Dell matched HP's offer of $1.8 billion, only to be countered again by HP offering $2 billion for the company. On Thursday, September 2, after a two-week bidding war between the technology giants, HP offered $33 per share putting the final price tag at $2.35 billion and Dell threw in the towel.

Both PC makers were looking at 3PAR as a way to build up their "cloud computing" businesses, delivering software, data storage and other services to customers via the Internet. 3PAR could also help them cut data storage expenses.

The offer from HP comes as technology companies appear to be increasing merger and acquisition activity as cash levels sit at record levels, highlighted by the $7.68 billion deal between Intel Corp. and McAfee Inc. The all-cash deal announced Thursday, August 19, 2010, marks the biggest acquisition in Intel's 42-year history. It is the sixth biggest deal globally between two technology companies over the past 3 1/2 years, according to Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.

In 2009, EMC acquired all of the outstanding shares of Data Domain common stock for $33.50 per share in cash.

In 2008, HP Acquired LeftHand Networks for $360 million. Also in 2008, Dell acquired EqualLogic for $1.4 billion.

The most attractive acquisition candidates offer something innovative that no other company offers. For example, the software 3PAR offers is designed to maximize available space on data storage hardware -- a cost-cutting step -- by using a technique called "thin provisioning," by which extra capacity can be added as needed.

According to Senior Analyst, James E Bagley, of Storage Strategies NOW, IceWEB's Unified Storage, "Has a combination of technologies to maximize the capacity efficiency of the storage infrastructure. Built in compression ensures that highly compressible files are stored efficiently. Thin Provisioning means that blocks are not allocated until written to, meaning the administrators can assign arbitrarily large volumes to servers without paying the penalty of a lot of wasted space. The most significant advantage is inline deduplication. Similar files used by multiple servers or virtual desktops are stored as single images within the storage pool. This can result in efficiencies as high as 95% in environments with many similar servers. This combination of features is unprecedented and together means that the overall cost per usable terabyte is one of the best in the industry."

AcuNetx Announces Change in Trading Status

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- AcuNetx, Inc. today announced that it had received a communication from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to the effect that its Common Stock would be removed from quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on September 3, 2010.

The letter indicated that FINRA took the action because AcuNetx has been delinquent in its filings under the Exchange Act three times in the past two years, and NASD Rule 6530 provides for removal from quotation in this instance. AcuNetx has the right to appeal the decision, and is considering whether to file such an appeal.

Robert S. Corrigan, President of AcuNetx, said, "We plan to continue filing reports and financial statements with the SEC, and we expect that our stock will continue to be quoted and traded in the over-the counter market (Pink Sheets)." He added, "Accordingly, we believe this action will not have any effect on our shareholders, and should have no effect on the liquidity of our Common Stock."

Corrigan explained that AcuNetx had timely filed its 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. However, since AcuNetx had earlier dismissed its independent certified public accountants and has not engaged new accountants, the financial statements in the 10-Q were not reviewed by outside accountants, as contemplated by SEC accounting rules. FINRA took the position that, because of this, the filing was deficient.

"We are actively interviewing accounting firms, and plan to retain a new firm in the coming weeks," said Corrigan. "Once retained, we will ask the new accountants to review our current 10-Q filings and amend them if necessary."

About AcuNetx, Inc.:

AcuNetx markets a diverse line of diagnostic, analytical and therapeutic tools for medical (audiologists, neurologists, otolaryngologists and physical therapists as well as hospitals, clinics, and extended care facilities) and law enforcement applications. R&D applications include patent-pending technology for the physiological detection of deception (polygraph). AcuNetx is headquartered in Torrance, CA.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ENER1, Inc. today announced that it has agreed to sell $55 million of senior unsecured notes, together with shares of common stock and warrants, to certain investment funds, led by funds managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. In addition, the company also announced the sale of $10 million in senior convertible notes to strategic partner ITOCHU Corporation. This follows a $65 million investment from principal shareholder Ener1 Group in June of this year, and a $20 million investment from ITOCHU Corporation in December, 2009. The sale of the senior notes is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to be completed on or before September 8, 2010.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080312/CLW018LOGO )

Ener1 will use these funds along with its grant from the United States Department of Energy under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, for general operating expenditures and to help pursue its intended manufacturing plans to install 260 MW, or capacity for 11,000 electric vehicle battery packs, at its three Indianapolis facilities.

"Ener1 has heavily invested in expanding its global manufacturing operations in response to the anticipated demand from the grid energy storage, transportation and small cell markets, allowing us to meet our growth objectives," commented Chairman and CEO Charles Gassenheimer. "We are appreciative of the vote of confidence that our shareholders have placed in Ener1's management team to execute its business plan."

The principal of the notes is payable in 10 equal quarterly installments with a coupon of 8.25 percent. The first such installment is due on January 2011. The notes provide Ener1 with the option of paying principal and interest entirely in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in stock, or a combination of cash and stock.

The Company is required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the resale of shares of common stock delivered in payment of principal and interest installments. JMP Securities LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent for the transaction.

Ener1 will be presenting at investor conferences in September, including the Credit Suisse Automotive and Transportation Conference, the Cowen Clean Energy Forum, the Wedbush Clean Technology and Industrial Growth Conference, the Deutsche Bank Technology Conference and the Paris Auto Show sponsored by UBS.

NI Technology Updates Outlooks for STMicroelectronics, Linear Technology, Analog Devices, ON Semiconductor and Advanced Micro Devices

PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for STMicroelectronics , Linear Technology , Analog Devices , ON Semiconductor and Advanced Micro Devices .

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After calling the rally that started in March 2009 to the day and providing Next Inning readers with buy recommendations that in some cases returned in excess of 400%, he advised readers on May 3, 2010 that the markets were heading for a correction. By the end of the day, the correction started.

In his June 7(th) Strategy Review, McWilliams advised readers we would see stocks rally in July, but that the rally would be followed by another selloff in August. As we know now, both events materialized as predicted. On August 30(th), Next Inning published McWilliams' Fall Strategy Review that outlines what he expects from the markets during the coming three months and naming five stocks he thinks will hit new highs before the close of the year. Investors are invited to read McWilliams' market insights with no obligation during a 21-day risk-free trial.

Trial subscribers will receive the Next Inning Fall Strategy Review and highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided. These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and detailed earnings previews, are available for free to trial subscribers.

In addition, subscribers will have access to McWilliams' daily commentary and actionable alerts. To take advantage of this offer and receive these reports for free, please visit the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn1082

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Based on worldwide semiconductor sales data, recent earnings reports, and information gathered from McWilliams' field network, is there support for a bullish view of STMicro?

-- According to McWilliams, is there reason to believe analog semiconductor companies Analog Devices and Linear Tech have seen a better-than-expected start to calendar Q3?

-- Why might ON Semi be an attractive speculative play in the event of a fall rally for tech stocks?

-- Is AMD due for a rebound after taking a beating of late? Does Intel's revised Q3 outlook suggest that AMD's Q3 may not be as bad as some had feared?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 242% since its inception versus 21% for the S&P 500.

About Next Inning:

Next Inning is a subscription-based investment newsletter that provides regular coverage on more than 150 technology and semiconductor stocks.

AT&T Ready for Hurricane Earl in New JerseyOffers Communications Tips for Consumers and Businesses

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced it stands ready for the impact of Hurricane Earl, as it passes to the east of New Jersey, with an arsenal of disaster response equipment and personnel that enable a quick response post landfall. To help local consumers and businesses prepare, AT&T is also providing important communications tips for use before, during and after the storm.

AT&T has invested more than $500 million in its Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) organization since it was formed. The NDR function includes more than 300 technology and support trailers that AT&T is able to deploy quickly to respond to disaster situations such as severe hurricanes.

A critical element of AT&T's efforts to maximize network reliability is its ability to respond swiftly when disaster strikes, made possible by extensive preparations. These include: ongoing readiness drills, topping off fuel at generators positioned at cell sites and switching centers, testing high-capacity back-up batteries, distributing additional portable generators, adding capacity to the wireless network as able, and staging of additional emergency response equipment in strategic locations near the anticipated landfall area.

AT&T continues to enhance network redundancy in hurricane-prone areas. These efforts include installation of more back-up and permanent generators at critical cell sites and switching facilities, location of critical equipment to less vulnerable areas, upgrade of electronics in many locations, replacement of copper wiring with fiber optic cable, elevation of switches critical to network operations above expected flood levels and protection of physical facilities against flooding.

AT&T offers the following recommendations for consumers and small business owners before and after the storm hits:

AT&T Tips:

--  Be sure you have a "hurricane phone." It's a good idea to have a
wireless phone on hand and at least one corded (landline) telephone that
is not dependent on electricity in case of a power outage.
--  Program all of your emergency contact numbers and e-mail addresses into
your mobile phone. Numbers should include the police department, fire
station and hospital, as well as your family members.
--  Keep your wireless phone batteries charged at all times. Have an
alternative plan to recharge your battery in case of a power outage,
such as charging your wireless device by using your car charger or
having extra mobile phone batteries on hand.
--  Keep your wireless phone dry. The biggest threat to your device during a
hurricane is water, so keep your equipment safe from the elements by
storing it in a plastic bag or some other type of protective covering.
--  Track the storm and access weather information on your wireless device.
Many homes lose power during severe weather. If you have a wireless
device that provides access to the Internet, you can watch weather
reports through AT&T Mobile TV or keep updated with local radar and
severe weather alerts through My-Cast(R) Weather, if you subscribe to
those services.
--  Camera phones provide assistance. If you have a camera phone, take,
store and send photos -- and even video clips -- of damaged property to
your insurance company from your device.
--  Take advantage of location-based mapping technology.  Services such as
AT&T Navigator and AT&T FamilyMap can help you seek evacuation routes or
avoid traffic congestion from downed trees or power lines, as well as
track a family member's wireless device in case you get separated.

Maximizing Service During and After a Hurricane:

--  During an emergency, many people are trying to use their phones at the
same time. The increased calling volume may create network congestion,
leading to "fast busy" signals on your wireless phone or a slow dial
tone on your landline phone. If this happens, hang up, wait several
seconds and then try the call again. This allows your original call data
to clear the network before you try again.
--  Try text messaging. During an emergency situation, text messages may go
through more quickly than voice calls because they require fewer network
resources. All of AT&T's wireless devices are text messaging capable.
Depending on your data or text plan, additional charges may apply.
--  Keep non-emergency calls to a minimum. If there is severe weather,
chances are many people will be attempting to place calls to loved ones,
friends and business associates.

Additional information and tips for disaster preparedness can be found at www.att.com/vitalconnections.

alternative plan to recharge your battery in case of a power outage,
such as charging your wireless device by using your car charger or
having extra mobile phone batteries on hand.
--  Keep your wireless phone dry. The biggest threat to your device during a
hurricane is water, so keep your equipment safe from the elements by
storing it in a plastic bag or some other type of protective covering.
--  Track the storm and access weather information on your wireless device.
Many homes lose power during severe weather. If you have a wireless
device that provides access to the Internet, you can watch weather
reports through AT&T Mobile TV or keep updated with local radar and
severe weather alerts through My-Cast(R) Weather, if you subscribe to
those services.
--  Camera phones provide assistance. If you have a camera phone, take,
store and send photos -- and even video clips -- of damaged property to
your insurance company from your device.
--  Take advantage of location-based mapping technology.  Services such as
AT&T Navigator and AT&T FamilyMap can help you seek evacuation routes or
avoid traffic congestion from downed trees or power lines, as well as
track a family member's wireless device in case you get separated.

Maximizing Service During and After a Hurricane:

--  During an emergency, many people are trying to use their phones at the
same time. The increased calling volume may create network congestion,
leading to "fast busy" signals on your wireless phone or a slow dial
tone on your landline phone. If this happens, hang up, wait several
seconds and then try the call again. This allows your original call data
to clear the network before you try again.
--  Try text messaging. During an emergency situation, text messages may go
through more quickly than voice calls because they require fewer network
resources. All of AT&T's wireless devices are text messaging capable.
Depending on your data or text plan, additional charges may apply.
--  Keep non-emergency calls to a minimum. If there is severe weather,
chances are many people will be attempting to place calls to loved ones,
friends and business associates.

ARRIS Introduces ServAssure(TM) Live!New Software Offers Instantaneous Service and Network Visibility

SUWANEE, Ga., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS today announced the introduction of ServAssure Live!, designed to provide Technical Service Representatives (TSRs) and Call Center Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) with real-time subscriber-centric service and device visibility. Additionally, Network Operations Center (NOC) personnel can use ServAssure Live! to view the health status of devices in the network that are not directly tied to a subscriber, such as the CMTS and Call Management Server, thereby allowing instantaneous detection of service degradation, performance of diagnostics and remote repairs.

Rapid problem identification and resolution enables TSRs/CSRs to keep current customers happy and reduce overall churn. Rather than relying on a process of elimination in situations that can be addressed or repaired remotely, ServAssure Live! empowers Call Center personnel to quickly pinpoint the root cause of service issues and fix them.

ServAssure Live! automatically discovers customer premises equipment (CPE) which allows the application to easily adapt to changes in the network without time consuming reconfiguration and manual setup. Its standards-based Web Services interface enables adaptable integration with existing data sources and positions the application as a trusted source of consistent data for the entire OSS infrastructure.

ServAssure Live! is a flexible standalone system designed for ease of deployment and on-going maintenance. MSOs are not bogged down by daily process management tasks because ServAssure Live! never involves manual device imports or scheduled polling activities.

"We are very excited to introduce ServAssure Live! to the Call Center employees at our customers' systems," said ARRIS Assurance VP and GM Bailey Shewchuk. "They are the front line of customer service and need the most accurate information to be able to resolve customer problems in a timely and efficient manner, thus freeing up resources to be allocated to revenue-generating activities."

Deploying and maintaining ServAssure Live! is so straightforward, that ARRIS offers customers a free 30-day trial upon request. For more information, please contact your ARRIS representative or visit our web site at www.arrisi.com

ARRIS ServAssure Live! will be on display at IBC, September 10-14, Stand 1.D41.
