    Lockheed Martin Delivers U.S. Navy's First Remote Minehunting Vehicle (RMV)RMV Will Provide Significant Capability

    RIVIERA BEACH, Fla., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- A ceremony today marked Lockheed Martin's delivery of the first production Remote Minehunting Vehicle (RMV) to the U.S. Navy. This delivery is a significant milestone in the development of the mine countermeasures capability for both DDG 51 Arleigh Burke Class destroyers and the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).

    The RMV is a semi-submersible, semi-autonomous, unmanned vehicle that tows a variable-depth sensor to detect, localize, classify and identify bottom and moored sea mines at a safe distance from friendly ships. The RMV transmits real-time mine sonar images to its host ship over a data link system. This mine reconnaissance capability will allow a naval Strike Group Commander to quickly and safely assess the threat of mines in prospective areas of operations.

    In 2005, the Naval Sea Systems Command awarded Lockheed Martin a low-rate initial production contract for three RMVs. In 2006, a contract for four more RMVs was awarded. Total contract value is $118 million. The RMV is produced at Lockheed Martin's Riviera Beach, FL facility.

    The RMV is the integral mobile subsystem of the Navy's AN/WLD-1 Remote Minehunting System (RMS). The RMS includes the RMV, a launch and retrieval system for the RMV, the RMV-towed sonar sensor, advanced communications equipment and software that integrates RMS into the host ship's combat system.

    The RMV is one component of the RMS which is currently installed on USS Bainbridge (DDG 96). The RMS completed an operational assessment in the summer of 2006 and a technical evaluation in March 2007. RMS is expected to conduct an Operational Evaluation in June of this year. The RMS is scheduled for its first operational deployment aboard USS Bainbridge in late 2007.

    "The Remote Minehunting System (RMS) introduces a critical mine countermeasure capability to our forward-deployed naval forces," said Captain Joe Spitz, Deputy Mine Warfare Program Manager, Program Executive Office Littoral and Mine Warfare. "Sailors now have an organic unmanned mine warfare system that will allow them to detect and classify mines from a safe distance. RMS allows the Navy to send a remotely operated vehicle into dangerous waters, keeping Sailors out of the minefield."

    "I am extremely proud of our Lockheed Martin and Navy team for successfully reaching this key milestone," said Fred P. Moosally, president of Lockheed Martin's Maritime Systems and Sensors business. "It marks the delivery of a significant capability to the Navy that will help keep our sailors and ships out of harm's way. This technologically advanced product delivers a critical capability to the Strike Group Commander, which will result in improved battle space awareness."

    Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.

    Chapman Capital Supports Embarcadero Sale Agreement Advisor to Vote All Shares in Favor of TCB Transaction

    LOS ANGELES, April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Chapman Capital L.L.C., investment advisor to two investment funds that together own 9.3% of Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. ; ("Embarcadero" or "the Company"), today announced its support of the Company's definitive agreement to be acquired for $7.20 per share by an affiliate of Thoma Cressey Bravo (TCB). On March 7, 2007, Chapman Capital filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) demanding that Embarcadero resume negotiations with TCB or other bidders regarding the sale of the Company.

    Robert L. Chapman, Jr., Managing Member of Chapman Capital, commented, "Under private ownership, Embarcadero's relatively small size should become an asset vs. its being a liability in the public domain. Moreover, following TCB's December 16, 2006 decision to terminate its September 6, 2006 agreement to acquire Embarcadero, I am confident that Orlando Bravo recognizes the importance to TCB's reputation of consummating this revised transaction."

    Chapman Capital also announced that, as result the revised merger agreement, it has terminated its prospective plan to replace the majority of Embarcadero's Board of Directors (the "Board"). On March 21, 2007, Chapman Capital had announced its demand that Mr. Gary E. Haroian immediately resign from the Board due to Chapman Capital's view that Mr. Haroian's ineptitude was an impediment to the maximization of Embarcadero's shareholder value. This followed Chapman Capital's March 12, 2007 announcement that it had determined to seek nominees to replace Class I directors Timothy C.K. Chou and Frank M. Polestra, and Class II directors Michael J. Roberts (lead "independent" director) and Samuel T. Spadafora, should a sale of Embarcadero not have been announced by March 30, 2007.

    Chapman Capital L.L.C. is a Los Angeles, CA based investment advisor focusing on takeover and turnaround investing. The firm currently manages over $300 million as the registered investment advisor to Chap-Cap Partners II Master Fund, Ltd. and Chap-Cap Activist Partners Master Fund, Ltd., the combined owners of approximately 9.3% of Embarcadero's common shares. Over the past eleven years, Chapman Capital has agitated successfully for the restructuring or sale of over twenty publicly traded companies, including a recently closed transaction involving Glenayre Technologies, Inc. and pending transactions involving Carreker Corporation, Sunterra Corporation and Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. Mr. Chapman previously was employed by Goldman Sachs & Co., Scudder Stephens, & Clark, and NatWest Bank USA.

    New EMBARQ Technology Center Unveiled in Gardner, KansasLab dedicated to former employees' technological contributions

    GARDNER, Kan., April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMBARQ today officially opened its new EMBARQ Technology Center network laboratory in Gardner, Kansas. New equipment and technologies will be tested at the lab before being deployed in EMBARQ's network in 18 states across the country. The lab is dedicated to Bob Pohlabel and Pete Gaughan, two former lab employees, who both succumbed to cancer after more than 50 years of combined service with the company.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060516/EMBARQLOGO)

    "New technology holds the promise of better customer services and new products," said Jim Hansen, senior vice president of Network Services at EMBARQ. "However, before any new technology is put into our network, it has to be thoroughly tested to make sure our customers have a positive experience. At EMBARQ we are innovative, but practical at the same time. The EMBARQ Technology Center is the essence of that promise."

    For example, new technologies such as packet switching have been tested at the lab at its previous location. Practical products such as an integrated voicemail platform serving both wireline and wireless devices, or SmartConnect where customers' phones switch seamlessly between a wireline and wireless network, are easier to implement on a packet network. EMBARQ just last year switched its one millionth customer from a circuit to a packet network.

    Interoperability testing, or the ability of different pieces of network equipment to work together, will be a cornerstone function at the lab. In addition, customer premise equipment that EMBARQ's business customers install at their business locations also will be tested at the lab.

    Crutchfield Amplifies Its Resource Planning With Microsoft Dynamics AXElectronics retailer prepares for continued business growth by expanding its base of Microsoft software.

    REDMOND, Wash., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer electronics seller Crutchfield Corp. has chosen JunctionMCR built on Microsoft Dynamics(TM) AX to improve its merchandising resource planning.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

    An authority in direct-to-consumer sales for more than 33 years, the Charlottesville, Va., company will replace its custom merchandising management system with Microsoft Corp.'s premier enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. With JunctionMCR and Microsoft Dynamics AX, Crutchfield will be able to unify vendor and item management in one environment, simplify the individual user's experience, make product procurement more efficient, and improve its overall forecasting capability.

    "With JunctionMCR, we will streamline the product procurement process," said Steve Weiskircher, vice president of Information Technology at Crutchfield. "By coupling better forecasting with automated purchasing workflow tools, we expect to dramatically improve the procurement process and provide deeper insight into item and vendor management processes."

    Specific benefits that convinced Crutchfield to choose Dynamics AX include these:

    -- Flexibility. Through the flexibility of the Morph X development environment and numerous integration options, including Microsoft(R) .NET Web services, Crutchfield's present IT staff can customize the system so that its business systems mirror its business processes. The flexibility of JunctionMCR and the Microsoft Dynamics AX development model will enable Crutchfield to reduce overhead expenses associated with traditional custom application development. -- Quick payback. The new merchandising model made possible by JunctionMCR will help Crutchfield better understand and predict demand through improved forecasting and streamline purchasing with automated workflow -- as well as potentially recoup its investment in the ERP software within two years. -- Shared insight. Advanced features will better align sales, inventory and distribution. For example, automated notifications, or Alerts, will ensure that specific employees throughout Crutchfield's operations are simultaneously aware of price changes, low stock on particular items, or impending changes in product lines. Trade Manage features will provide greater insight into sales trends so that Crutchfield can better meet ebbs and flows in consumer demand.

    "The value of business software is measured not only by the power of its features, but also by the cost and complexity of management," said Michael Park, corporate vice president of the U.S. Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners Group at Microsoft. "Microsoft Dynamics AX combines powerful ERP tools with familiar Microsoft Office operations and flexible IT environments that don't require an army of IT staff to manage."

    Junction Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, developed and is implementing JunctionMCR, built on Microsoft Dynamics AX. The company's deep knowledge of Microsoft's technology platform was essential in identifying the right technology for Crutchfield's business needs.

    Liberty Media Corporation Announces Preliminary Results of Tender Offer

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") announced today the expiration of its modified dutch auction self-tender offer to purchase up to 8,849,500 shares of its Liberty Capital Series A common stock. The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 5, 2007. Based on the preliminary tabulation by the depositary, the tender offer was oversubscribed and the purchase price for the tender offer is $113.00 per share. Liberty also announced that it intends to exercise its right to purchase up to an additional 2% of its outstanding LCAPA shares in the tender offer without extending the tender offer. Accordingly, Liberty expects to purchase approximately 11.5 million LCAPA shares at a purchase price of $113.00 per share, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer.

After the depositary verifies the actual number of LCAPA shares validly tendered and not withdrawn, including shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures, and the purchase price at which such LCAPA shares were tendered, Liberty will promptly announce the actual number of LCAPA shares tendered and not withdrawn, the proration factor applicable to the tender offer and the purchase price for LCAPA shares properly tendered and not withdrawn.

    Orban Ramps Up Production to Meet DemandWorkdays Longer, Saturday Shift Added

    TEMPE, Ariz., April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Circuit Research Labs, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: CRLI) , parent company of CRL Systems, Inc. dba Orban, in response to a surge of demand from broadcasters and other customers, has increased production of its audio processors and other professional electronics to reduce order backlog and to speed up deliveries to customers.

    Beginning mid-March, the company's production staff began working an additional two hours daily and a Saturday assembly shift was added to the work week. Both changes will remain in effect until production can satisfy demand quickly, which is estimated to be by mid-May. The company has a large backlog of orders totaling approximately $3.0 million dollars, a result of strong bookings and delays brought on by production down-time caused by the company's moving its corporate offices and manufacturing from San Leandro, California to Tempe, Arizona. Additionally, production has been impacted by difficulty in procuring components that comply with the EU "reduction of hazard substances" (RoHS) directive. This requires that electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market after July 1, 2006 contain restricted levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and brominated flame retardants.

    "Our management and sales units are indebted to our production staff. Everyone agreed enthusiastically to the changes," said C. Jayson "Jay" Brentlinger, Chairman, President and CEO of CRLI. "We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated group of employees."

    The work schedule changes also apply to the company's final test department, a team that thoroughly tests each product to ensure quality.

    The high demand for the company's products results from the marketplace's enthusiastic acceptance of new Orban processing products like Optimod 6300 (a "three-in-one" processor for STL protection, digital radio/netcast processing, and talent headphone processing), Optimod-AM 9400 (featuring independent stereo processing for analog AM and digital radio), and Optimod-FM 8500 (Orban's flagship FM processor and the next step beyond Optimod-FM 8400). The 8500 builds on the proven, competitive sound of the 8400 while adding features that make it the ideal choice for FM stations simultaneously transmitting iBiquity's HD Radio(R), Eureka 147 (DAB), or a netcast. Orban designed all of the 8500's circuitry using the latest components and built in enough DSP power to support future improvements like those in the 8500's upcoming Version 2.0 software.

    In 2006, the company consolidated its Orban and CRL production units into a new 36,000 square foot corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant in Tempe, Arizona. Previously, Orban products were manufactured in San Leandro, in the San Francisco Bay Area's Silicon Valley. The research and development staff, lead by industry icon Bob Orban, remains in San Leandro.

    Circuit Research Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries is a worldwide leader in audio processing for broadcasting and the Internet. Orban leads the industry in the design and manufacture of audio processors for radio, television and Internet broadcasting. Its websites are http://www.orban.com/ and http://www.crlsystems.com/.

    CCID Consulting Reviews Dell's Influence on China's PC Development Trends

    BEIJING, April 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CCID Consulting, China's leading research, consulting and IT outsourcing service provider, the first Chinese consulting firm listed in Hong Kong, recently indicated that as a result of influences from Dell, China's PC development trends will focus around two areas, price wars and restructuring.

    Michael Dell, founder of Dell, and who recently took up the reins again, held a press briefing in Shanghai on March 21. He said that Dell would cooperate more with other vendors and make acquisitions in the future, particularly in new fields. Also on March 21, in order to meet users' demands, Dell released its lowest-priced PC in Shanghai, at only RMB2,599. Through Dell, CCID Consulting will examine the road ahead for PC developments in China.

    CCID Consulting analyst Wen Fang said that price wars will be a future theme in the desktop PC and notebook fields. The direct sales model has long been Dell's advantage. This model of channel cost control offers grater price advantages to Dell. But, diving product prices offered by other leading vendors have largely neutralized Dell's advantages. To build up its price advantage again, Dell has introduced desktop PCs at only RMB2,599. This shows that price wars will become one of the development themes in China's PC market in the future.

    CCID Consulting thinks that M&As and restructuring will be one of the future development directions for PC makers. Currently, Dell's certain acquisition moves or intentions have shown its determination to develop more new services. This includes its acquisition of the IT services provider ACS. Some small- and medium-sized brands that perform poorly in the market may get greater growth opportunities through such restructuring.

    Developing new services and providing products with high added values is also a key area of attention for PC makers in the future. CCID Consulting believes that PC businesses alone will no longer meet user demands, still less bring profits to vendors. The current development trend suggests that the general need is to provide IT consulting and total IT solutions. Household users' growing demand for 3C integration and digital homes also means that vendors should not just provide PC products. They also need to provide more product services. This puts forward new requirements for vendors' product lines. Consumer electronics products such as smart phones have also entered the sight of PC makers.
