MSC.Software Reports Preliminary Revenue Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2007

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corporation , the leading global provider of enterprise simulation solutions including simulation software and services, today announced preliminary revenue results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $56 to $58 million compared to revenue of $67.4 million in the first quarter last year. Last year's first quarter included $2.5 million of revenue associated with the Company's PLM business which was sold in March 2006 (of the total $2.5 million of PLM revenue, $1.3 million was software and $1.2 million was services revenue), and approximately $6.8 million in software revenue that resulted from restatement adjustments. The restatement adjustments arise from software revenue recognized in the first quarter of last year for transactions that occurred prior to January 2005. Adjusting for PLM and the accounting restatement impact in the first quarter last year, it is estimated that software license revenue increased by approximately 8% in the first quarter 2007, while maintenance revenue increased by approximately 4% and services declined by approximately 40%. Additionally, as previously reported, the company expects to take a restructuring charge in the first quarter of approximately $7.0 million. The company expects to report a GAAP net loss for the first quarter both before and after adjusting for the restructuring charge.

The revenue range and revenue growth rate are estimates and may change pending the Company's management and independent auditor's completion of their normal quarterly closing and review procedures. The Company expects to report first quarter results on May 9, 2007 and file its Form 10-Q for the first quarter on May 10, 2007. The Company will discuss in detail these first quarter results and forward guidance and outlook for 2007 on its Q1 conference call on May 9th.

Organic, Inc. Named Web Design Leader by Independent Research FirmOrganic's Empathy-building Approach and Use of Personas in 'Standout User Research' Sets Firm Apart

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic, Inc., a leading digital communications agency, was named as a leader in both "Transaction-Led" and "Image-Led" web site design projects, according to a report released by Forrester Research. The report, entitled "The Forrester Wave(TM): Interactive Marketing Agencies -- Web Design Capabilities, Q2 2007" (April 2007) evaluated Organic alongside 14 other agencies against 18 criteria.

In this evaluation, Organic was cited as a leader and one of four "leaders of the pack." According to the report, "Organic's vision to be 'the go-to- agency for empathy-based experience design' is well within its reach." The report continues, "Rigorous user research tactics, empathy-building exercises, and standout persona application make it a good choice for companies that need help transitioning to user-centered design. Similar to the results from the 2005 evaluation, its reference sites earned consistently high markets for usability ... "

Forrester used a rigorous methodology that evaluated the web design agencies against 18 criteria, including scores derived from two reference sites that included both a "Web Site Review" and a "Brand Image Review," which evaluated both the usability and the brand representation of each site -- both critical building blocks of an exceptional digital experience.

According to highlights of the report, "The agency is an especially good fit for buyers who want:

"In-depth understanding of consumer attitudes and behavior. The firm scores top marks for its rigorous user research tactics and its best practices in bringing personas to life within a company. Clients that need help with aligning their organizations around user needs will benefit from techniques like short videos that highlight key messages from ethnographic research, portable collections of physical objects that individual personas would use in every day life, and "persona rooms" that literally put stakeholders in the personal space of customers. "An equal focus on usability and branding. With its unusually broad range of experience design skills, Organic effectively translates its deep understanding of consumer needs into Web sites that help users achieve their goals ... This makes Organic a top pick for companies that need highly usable sites that also adequately support their brand."

"Being recognized as a leader in our category is truly an honor," said Mark Kingdon, CEO of Organic. "At Organic, two things guide our work: our unique empathy-focused methodology and our passion for emerging technologies. We are delighted that these guiding principals are apparent in our work, and ultimately deliver value to our clients."

Organic's clients include leading brands such as DaimlerChrysler, Sprint, Bank of America, and Geek Squad. In addition to being named a "Leader" by Forrester, Organic is also a top 10 interactive agency, according to Advertising Age.

The report was authored by Forrester's Kerry Bodine with Harley Manning and Moira Dorsey. To view the entire independent report and the summary of Organic's scorecard evaluation, go to http://www.organic.com/about/reportlist.jsp.

Seagate Technology Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2007 Results

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seagate Technology today reported revenue of $2.8 billion, GAAP net income of $212 million, and diluted net income per share of $0.37 for the quarter ended March 30, 2007. Net income and diluted net income per share includes approximately $62 million of charges associated with recent acquisitions. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share were $274 million and $0.47.

For the nine months ended March 30, 2007 Seagate reported revenue of $8.6 billion, GAAP net income of $371 million and diluted net income per share of $0.62. Net income and diluted net income per share include charges of approximately $219 million associated with recent acquisitions and $19 million for the early retirement of the 8% notes. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share were $609 million and $1.02.

"We are disappointed in our results for the March quarter," said Bill Watkins, Seagate chief executive officer. "We clearly miscalculated the market, and in this unusually challenging environment failed to deliver the projected results. However, it is worth noting that the fundamentals of our business and that of the industry remain solid. Seagate's revenue remained strong, our balance sheet is healthy, and we continued to generate cash for ongoing investments in the capital and R&D required for growth. We are operating at the kind of scale that will allow us to continue to innovate while driving down costs, and thus exercise a great deal of market flexibility. Moving forward, we will align spending with the current outlook, and continue to drive the cost improvements necessary to thrive in this environment."

Adjustments made to GAAP net income and diluted net income per share can be found with the financial statements included with this press release. Additional information relating to the financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2007 can be found online at seagate.com.

Business Outlook

For fiscal year 2007, Seagate now expects $11.3 - $11.4 billion in revenue and $0.92 - $0.96 GAAP diluted net income per share. Including Maxtor's operating result but excluding approximately $247 million of expected acquisition related costs, and $19 million of fees associated with the early redemption of the 8% notes, non-GAAP diluted net income per share is expected to fall within the range of $1.37 - $1.41.

For the June quarter, Seagate expects to report revenue of $2.65 - $2.75 billion, and GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.29 - $0.33. Excluding approximately $28 million of expected acquisition related costs, Non-GAAP diluted net income per share for the June quarter is expected to fall within the range of $0.34 - $0.38.

This guidance does not include the impact of any future acquisitions, stock repurchases or restructuring activities the company may undertake.

Dividend and Stock Repurchase

The company has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on or before May 18, 2007 to all common shareholders of record as of May 4, 2007.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2007, the company took delivery of approximately 22.6 million of its common shares related to its share repurchase plan.

Linear Technology Announces Proposed Private Placement of $1.7 Billion of Convertible Senior Notes

MILPITAS, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Linear Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: LLTC) announced today that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due May 1, 2027, which notes will be issued in a $1 billion tranche and a $700 million tranche, through an offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

Each series of notes will be initially convertible, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, into a combination of cash up to the principal amount of the notes and cash, common stock or a combination thereof, at Linear's election, with respect to any excess conversion value over the principal amount. The interest rate, conversion rate and other terms for each series of notes are to be determined by negotiations between Linear and the initial purchaser of the notes.

Linear intends to use the entire net proceeds of the offering to fund a portion of its planned repurchase of approximately $3 billion of its common stock pursuant to an accelerated stock repurchase transaction it expects to enter into with an affiliate of the initial purchaser simultaneously with the offering of the notes.

The initial purchaser has advised Linear that, in connection with the counterparty to the accelerated stock repurchase establishing its initial hedge of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction, it expects such counterparty or its affiliate to enter into various derivative and/or common stock purchase transactions in secondary market transactions concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This counterparty or its affiliate is likely to modify such hedge position by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to Linear common stock and/or by purchasing or selling Linear common stock in secondary market transactions prior to final settlement of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction. In addition, during the term of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction, which is expected to last approximately nine months, this counterparty or its affiliate will purchase shares of Linear common stock in connection with the accelerated stock repurchase transaction.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

The securities will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state laws.

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, whether or not Linear will offer the notes or consummate the offering, the anticipated terms of the notes and the offering and the anticipated use of the proceeds of the offering.

Linear Technology Reports Lower Revenue and Net Income From the Third Quarter of the Previous Fiscal Year and Announces Plans for a $3.0 Billion Accelerated Stock Repurchase Transaction

MILPITAS, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Linear Technology Corporation , a leading, independent manufacturer of high performance linear integrated circuits, today announced that revenue for its quarterly period ended April 1, 2007, was $255.0 million, a decrease of 9% or $23.9 million from revenue of $278.9 million for the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. Net income computed in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 of $98.6 million or $0.32 diluted earnings per share decreased 11% or $12.0 million from net income of $110.6 million or $0.35 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Sequentially, revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 of $255.0 million decreased 5% or $12.9 million from revenue of $267.9 million from the sequential December quarter. Net income computed in accordance with GAAP for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $98.6 million, or $0.32 diluted earnings per share, a decrease of 6% from GAAP net income of $105.0 million or $0.34 diluted earnings per share reported in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. During the most recent quarter the Company's cash and short-term investments balance increased $24.9 million over the second quarter of the current fiscal year net of spending $25.2 million to purchase 0.8 million shares of its common stock. A cash dividend of $0.18 per share will be paid on May 16, 2007 to stockholders of record on April 27, 2007.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $111.8 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share a decrease of $6.0 million from non-GAAP net income of $117.8 million or $0.39 diluted earnings per share reported from the sequential December quarter. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, fiscal year 2007 third quarter non-GAAP net income of $111.8 million decreased 7% or $8.0 million from non-GAAP net income of $119.7 million for the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. The Company's non-GAAP measures set forth above exclude charges related to stock-based compensation. The Company's management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company's current operating results and financial results and to compare them against historical financial results. Reconciliations of reported net income and reported net income per diluted share to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively, are included at the end of this press release.

According to Lothar Maier, CEO, "This was a difficult quarter for us in that quarterly revenue and net income were down both sequentially from the December quarter and from the similar quarter last year. However, Linear continues to be very profitable with a return on sales of 39%. In addition, the Company continues to have positive cash flow from operations. Moreover, orders placed on the Company increased during the quarter and we had a positive book to bill ratio. The upcoming June quarter is a challenge to accurately forecast. Although inventory in the marketplace appears to be more balanced than in previous quarters, visibility continues to be low and customers remain guarded in their forecasting and inventory management. In summary, we currently expect revenue to increase 3% to 6% with operating margins up similarly."

Linear Announces Plans for a $3 Billion Accelerated Stock Repurchase Transaction

The Company also announced its plans to enter into an accelerated stock repurchase transaction, subject to market and other conditions, pursuant to which it will repurchase approximately $3 billion of its shares of common stock. The Company intends to finance such repurchase with existing cash and the proceeds of a $1.7 billion convertible note offering. The accelerated stock repurchase transaction would be conditioned on the closing of the convertible note offering.

Robert H. Swanson, founder and Executive Chairman, said "Over the last twenty-five years we have built a strong profitable analog franchise. During this period we have grown entirely organically without any Company acquisitions and have accumulated roughly $2.0 billion in cash. We believe that our best investment continues to be ourselves, Linear Technology Corporation. Accordingly, we plan to purchase $3.0 billion of Linear stock in this transaction."

"This substantial share repurchase underscores our belief in Linear's future" said Lothar Maier, Linear's CEO. "Repurchasing stock at this time represents an opportunity to use our strong cash position, together with some leveraging of our strong cash flow, to enhance long-term shareholder value."

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this press release are forward-looking statements. In particular, the statements regarding the demand for our products, our customers' ordering patterns and the anticipated trends in our sales and profits are forward- looking statements. The forward-looking statements are dependent on certain risks and uncertainties, including such factors, among others, as the timing, volume and pricing of new orders received and shipped, the timely introduction of new processes and products, general conditions in the world economy and financial markets and other factors described in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2006.

Company officials will be discussing these results in greater detail in a conference call tomorrow, Wednesday, April 18, 2007 at 7:30 a.m. Pacific Coast Time. Those investors wishing to listen in may call (719) 955-1566 before 8:15 a.m. to be included in the audience.

The Company's non-GAAP measures set forth above exclude charges related to stock-based compensation. The Company's management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company's current operating results and financial results and to compare them against historical financial results. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expenses and the related tax effects primarily because they are significant non-cash expense estimates which management separates for consideration when evaluating and managing business operations.

In addition, the Company believes that providing investors with these non- GAAP measurements enhances their ability to compare the Company's business against that of its many competitors who employ and disclose similar non-GAAP measures. This financial measure may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by the Company's competitors to the extent their non-GAAP measures include other items. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Ricoh Debuts New EFI Digital StorefrontWeb-to-Print Platform Provides Customers with 24/7 Access to Printing Services

BOSTON, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, the leader in document and printing solutions, and EFI , the world leader in color digital print servers, superwide format printers and inks, and print management solutions, today introduced Version 3.0 of EFI Digital StoreFront(TM) (DSF), the intuitive and powerful Web-to-Print solution. Compatible with Ricoh's high-volume color and black and white multifunction products (MFPs), DSF provides customers with around-the-clock access to print shop services, with a unique visual and customizable shopping experience. DSF increases the profitability and efficiency of print shop services by enabling printers to meet customers' diverse print needs and create a streamlined production workflow.

Version 3.0 of DSF is on display at On Demand, through April 19th at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, in Ricoh's booth #619. Developed with input from hundreds of EFI customers, this latest version of DSF encompasses a completely redesigned and highly customizable user interface, easier and faster web-based administration, new variable data print (VDP) choices, and hundreds of new features across the entire system.

In today's fast-paced business environment, it is increasingly important for print shops to create full-service solutions for clients that operate on a 24/7 schedule. As such, DSF offers several capabilities to make ordering, monitoring and paying for print services easier. With DSF, customers need only to submit information that pertains to their specific print job. These instructions are delivered between sender and recipient via a structured, electronic workflow that moves information easily from customers' desktops to production and business units. DSF also delivers real-time visibility into the printer's manufacturing process that enables clients to see the status of their print job at any interval. Furthermore, to make purchasing even easier, DSF allows customers and service providers to customize payment options. No matter if the client is paying with a credit card, cost center or cash, DSF collects billing information before the print job enters production workflow, therefore minimizing lost revenue and time.

In addition to its intuitive self-service web storefront, DSF also supports value-add print products to help print shops cater to the individual needs of each client. Customized print products or variable data print (VDP) template-driven documents can be hosted on DSF, allowing customers to add personal touches to standard formats for unique print products. DSF integrates two powerful and popular VDP offerings -- XMPie and FusionPro -- enabling the MFP to produce both single record products such as business cards and personalized 1:1 products such as direct mail campaign materials.

DSF offers several solutions to simplify the print process from idea to end product. An intuitive on-ramp provides easy access to DSF from clients' desktops, and DSF seamlessly integrates with other EFI products. Additionally, EFI PrintMessenger(TM) enables users to quickly and fluidly transfer content from their desktop to the Ricoh MFP, bypassing bulky attachments, outdated software applications or slow networks -- all scenarios where efficiency is reduced and cost is incurred. Instead, users can "print" to DSF, which automatically converts documents to a PDF workflow. Print shops receive clients' projects in a clean, organized copy with fonts, images and graphics intact. PrintMessenger comes standard on all DSF platforms.

DSF offers direct integration with the new MicroPress 7.5, a unique raster-based workflow solution that is also on display in Ricoh's booth. MicroPress 7.5 is compatible with ColorWise(r) Pro Tools, EFI's popular color print production management suite, and Spot-On, a feature that provides the ability to measure and manage spot colors. Production speed for both black & white and color is optimized via several MicroPress functions, and particularly because MicroPress minimizes the need for re-RIPing in complex production, including Make-ready. With MicroPress, print service providers have an unprecedented workflow two-punch power -- top speed and accurate, high-quality color.

Frost & Sullivan Lauds Dassault Systemes for Its Pioneering Technological Innovations in Digital Manufacturing

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan selected Dassault Systemes and DELMIA as the recipient of the 2007 Company of the Year Award within the North American product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions space.

Recognized as the leader in the global PLM solutions market, the company is known for its pioneering technological innovations in digital manufacturing that help customers innovate throughout the product lifecycle.

"Innovations at Dassault Systemes have been inspired by consistent focus to provide value-added solutions and services to the end-users and have taken on new meaning with the introduction of DELMIA Automation solutions," notes Frost & Sullivan Industry Manager Kishan M. Bhat. "DELMIA is the premier brand of Dassault Systemes for digital manufacturing solutions, focused on two unique software applications that streamline manufacturing processes, DELMIA PLM and DELMIA Automation."

The solutions assist industries where the optimization of manufacturing processes is critical, including automotive, aerospace, fabrication and assembly, electrical and electronics, consumer goods, plant, and shipbuilding sectors.

"DELMIA Automation has strengthened the core of the Dassault Systemes PLM offering," states Bhat. "With this innovative automation solution, the company has taken digital manufacturing to new heights by integrating the mechanical definition of the factory with the control logic built in the programmable logic controllers (PLC)."

Process and manufacturing industries are leveraging these solutions to increase their throughput and obtain advanced visibility into the process and manufacturing lifecycle on a virtual commissioning platform.

The DELMIA Automation virtual commissioning solution enables greater efficiency in validation and the control engineer can leverage the virtual model of the machine or cell to explore as many 'what if?' scenarios that are otherwise extremely difficult to validate.

"A critical success factor for the market adoption of virtual commissioning is the speed and ease-of-use in building the virtual environment," remarks Bhat. "DELMIA Automation's re-useable smart devices allow any company to build a library of smart devices that describe the behavior of a device, without the need to re-write that behavior. As a result, less time is spent in building the virtual environment while using pre-validated components at the same time."

The entire DELMIA suite of applications comprises leading digital manufacturing solutions that integrate with the PLM solutions from Dassault Systemes, like CATIA, ENOVIA, and SIMULIA.

Leading manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and hi-tech industries have deployed the PLM offering from Dassault Systemes and have continuously raised the bar on operational excellence.

The company also provides efficient integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to complete the business lifecycle management.

Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has demonstrated excellence within its industry based on numerous factors including business development, competitive strategy and market leadership. The Award recognizes outstanding management, consistent growth, and positive social and economic impact on local and national communities and customers.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

Comcast to Open New Customer Support Center in Newark, DE; Announces 800 Additional Local Hires in Next Year800-Seat, State-of-the-Art Call Center to Support Local Customers as Comcast's Eastern Division Continues Rapid Growth with Triple Play Bundle, Digital Cable

NEW CASTLE, Del., April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Cable's Eastern Division today announced plans to open a new 800-seat, state-of-the-art customer support center in Newark, Delaware. The Division also announced it will hire an additional 800 employees in Delaware over the next 12 months, bringing its total to 2,300 across the state. In the past year, Comcast's Eastern Division has increased its employee base by more than 25%, and earlier this year announced plans to fill more than 2,800 new positions in 2007, the majority in frontline, customer-impacting roles. Once fully operational, the Newark center will handle customer service, sales and support for all of Comcast products and services. It joins Comcast's four existing local call centers in the Philadelphia Metro Region, including one in New Castle, DE; the Eastern Division also operates a customer service center in Dover, DE that serves the lower two counties of Delaware and Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Situated at 300 North Wakefield Drive, the 115,000 square-foot center will provide 24x7 support for Comcast customers in the northern Delaware and greater Philadelphia areas. The space will feature state-of-the-art technology and a host of employee-oriented amenities including an exercise center, cafeteria, auditorium, break rooms, training/meeting facilities and convenient on-site parking, and is located just off I-95, convenient to a host of shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues. The lease for the new customer support center was brokered by American Financial Realty Trust of Jenkintown, PA, and Comcast expects to have its first employees situated there late this summer, with a grand opening event slated for end of year.

"In an age where more companies are outsourcing customer service jobs overseas, I am pleased that Comcast has committed to further investment and continued growth here in Delaware," Governor Ruth Ann Minner said. "I believe this is a testament to our state's attractive business climate, and I look forward to Comcast's expansion and continued commitment to Delaware."

Comcast's Eastern Division credits its expansion to phenomenal growth in all aspects of its business, with an emphasis on the Triple Play bundle of video, high-speed Internet and residential phone service, introduced in Northern Delaware last spring. The Division expects to end 2007 with more than one million Comcast Digital Voice customers, and is seeing unprecedented growth in its Digital Cable business, with more than three million subscribers who used its ON DEMAND service almost half a billion times last year. More than one in three new customers are signing up for the Triple Play bundle, and a strong majority of the Division's customers now have Digital Cable and Comcast High Speed Internet.

"Our new customer support center will utilize the most advanced technologies and tools to help us deliver an outstanding experience to every one of our customers, every time," said Michael Doyle, president, Comcast Cable Eastern Division and founder, CN8, The Comcast Network. "We have always believed in investing in and giving back to the local communities in which we live and work, and are excited that we have the opportunity to welcome hundreds of talented, passionate Delaware residents into the Comcast family to help us better serve our customers."

"Comcast's expansion in the suburban Newark area will bring hundreds of new employment opportunities for residents and a renewed commitment to our community by a well respected corporate citizen," said New Castle County Executive Chris Coons. "We are excited to work with Comcast and look forward to their plans for additional hiring in the next few years. I thank Governor Ruth Ann Minner and the Delaware Economic Development Office for their dedicated leadership in this effort and others to ensure our local economy continues to grow."

Comcast offers extensive career-path options along with competitive pay, medical, dental and prescription benefits, retirement investment options, and free and discounted Comcast services. Applicants can learn more about specific positions at a number of upcoming area career fairs and are encouraged to review job profiles and opportunities at http://www.comcast.com/, where they can also apply for positions online.

Oregon Consumers Win as Washington County and 10 Cities Approve Video Services Franchise

BEAVERTON, Ore., April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- On Feb. 8, the MACC (Metropolitan Area Communications Commission) Board of Commissioners recommended the approval of a video franchise agreement reached with Verizon for 10 municipalities and Washington County. Today, Washington County formally approved the MACC recommendation, following earlier approvals by the 10 municipalities.

Verizon, connecting the nation's largest fiber-optic network directly to customers' homes, is building its all-fiber-optic network in most of the wireline telephone areas it serves in the Portland metro area. The 100 percent fiber-optic network is the technological platform from which customers receive Verizon's crystal-clear FiOS TV, ultra-fast FiOS Internet service and reliable FiOS phone service.

The following statement should be attributed to Verizon Northwest Region Senior Vice President David S. Valdez:

"Today's approval by Washington County of the MACC's video franchise agreement with Verizon means consumer choice in cable TV is on the way for more than 156,000 Washington County households early next year.

"Verizon, which continues to build out its all-fiber-optic network in Washington County, already offers ultra-fast FiOS Internet and reliable FiOS phone service. This agreement now sets the stage for us to offer our competitive cable service, FiOS TV.

"Customer acceptance of Verizon's FiOS services continues to grow at a record pace because we have established best-in-class standards for TV picture quality, programming choice, broadband speeds and customer service."

For Verizon Customers Who are Moving, One Call Does it All; Seamless Termination and Activation Available With Verizon's New Mover's ServiceBest Service Fit, Best Price at New Home Are Easy to Arrange in Advance; Dial 1-866-VZMoves, Put in the New Zip Code, and Verizon Does the Rest

NEW YORK, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- With a single call, Verizon customers who are moving can schedule termination of service at their old home, be sure service is active when they arrive at their new home, and be sure they are getting the best deal on all the Verizon services they want at the new address.

By dialing 1-866-VZMoves (1-866-896-6837) and entering the zip code at their new address, customers can speak with a Verizon customer service representative familiar with all the services and prices available at the new home. The representatives are trained to help customers analyze their family's calling pattern and the Internet and entertainment services they want, and then help them order the best combination available at the best price, including options for Verizon's Double Freedom, Triple Freedom and Ultimate Freedom bundles or, where available, Verizon FiOS Internet and Verizon FiOS TV services delivered over fiber-optic facilities all the way to the home.

Representatives will arrange for all services at the old home to be terminated on the move-out day and turned on and ready for customers at the new home on move-in day, or whatever days the customer selects.

"The most important part of the Movers program is the opportunity it represents for customers to review their service needs and get the very best value possible at their new home," said Eileen Cassidy, vice president of voice and bundled services for Verizon. "Many customers have not reviewed their service needs recently and can add services or get discounts now available in their new neighborhoods."

Without checking with Verizon, customers might not be aware that the popular FiOS services are available in the area to which they are moving. Verizon is building out its fiber optic network in 16 states and will pass 9 million homes by the end of 2007.

The new toll-free mover's service supplements Verizon's very successful online mover's feature, available via links on the Verizon home page at http://www.verizon.com/. Several hundred customers each week arrange to move their service via the online link.

Among the options available nationwide are the Double, Triple and Ultimate Freedom bundles introduced this winter that offer six combinations of calling, Verizon High Speed Internet service, DIRECTV service and wireless calling from Verizon Wireless. The bundles are priced competitively in all markets with offers from cable TV companies and offer more service combinations than cable. In some areas, two-service bundles start at under $65 a month, three-service bundles at under $95 a month, and bundles of all four services at under $135 a month.

Customers also can order a Verizon Freedom calling plan and, if they order Verizon FiOS Internet Service and Verizon FiOS TV service where these services are available, they can save a significant amount per month a month off the combined price of these services.

Current calling and High Speed Internet customers who order qualifying voice and data services for their new homes will not pay setup charges.

"It's important that customers call us first to be sure they know all their options for getting their services from us over our reliable nationwide network," said Cassidy. "Cable promotions can be deceiving, and we encourage customers to review their options for true value because our technology and our network are the real underpinnings of quality -- the most important element in the value proposition."

Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving more than 59 million customers nationwide. Verizon's Wireline operations include Verizon Business, which operates one of the most expansive wholly owned global IP networks, and Verizon Telecom, which is deploying the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network to deliver the benefits of converged communications, information and entertainment services to customers. A Dow 30 company, Verizon has a diverse workforce of approximately 242,000 and last year generated consolidated operating revenues of more than $88 billion.

Websense Positioned in Leaders Quadrant by Leading Analyst Firm for Content Monitoring and Filtering/Data Loss Prevention

SAN DIEGO, April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Websense, Inc. , announced today that the company, with its Websense(R) Content Protection Suite(TM) software, has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of Gartner's recently released "Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering/Data Loss Prevention [CMF/DLP], 2Q07" (by Paul E. Proctor, Rich Mogull, and Eric Ouellet, April 13, 2007).

Gartner defines leaders as performing well today, having a clear vision of market direction and actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market. The report states that Gartner "gives strong preference to vendors that demonstrate completeness of vision - in terms of strategy for the future - and ability to execute on that vision." (1)

"We are not surprised by this placement in the Leaders Quadrant," said Pamela Fusco, executive director of security solutions at FishNet Security and former EVP, Global Information Security, Citigroup Technology Infrastructure (CTI). "Websense has a powerful solution and is a terrific partner for us as well as customers. We expect to see tremendous growth in the data loss prevention market and in our business with Websense."

In the report the analysts write that "[CMF/DLP technologies'] true value lies in helping management to identify and correct faulty business processes and - crucially - identify and prevent accidental disclosures of sensitive data. This concern is becoming more and more important because of the compliance demands of regulatory initiatives (for example, breach disclosure laws and HIPAA) and industry initiatives, such as the PCI standard."

"We believe Gartner's evaluation and placement of Websense in the Leaders Quadrant of the Magic Quadrant demonstrates our commitment to providing comprehensive, leading-edge software to help organizations protect themselves from information leaks," said Gene Hodges, CEO, Websense. "Organizations need to not only have the systems in place to protect themselves from outside threats, but also ensure sensitive data doesn't leave the company either accidentally or maliciously."

Websense Content Protection Suite enables organizations to accurately and efficiently discover, monitor and prevent information leaks through commonly used resources including instant messaging, email, and network printing.

Secure Computing Shares Research Innovations and Best Practices In Email, Web and Domain AuthenticationTechnologists Discuss Reputation Systems and Authentication Protocols at 2007 Authentication Summit

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Secure Computing Corporation , a leading enterprise gateway security company, today announced its participation in Authentication Summit 2007, a two-day intensive program that outlines best practices in email, Web and domain authentication. The Secure Computing-sponsored event -- intended to highlight authentication techniques proven to help eliminate online security risks -- will feature two of the company's spokespeople.

Secure Computing experts will address industry and company-specific best practices in email, web and domain authentication. Secure Computing's expertise is evidenced in its security products. For example, IronMail(R) and Webwasher(R) appliances employ a suite of authentication techniques such as SenderID, Domain Keys and signature verification to ensure that communications that are not proven to be from the claimed sender are blocked. This helps to prevent end users from even receiving phishing and other fraudulent emails by blocking them at the gateway -- even when they are masquerading as authentic email from a valid sender. In addition, Secure Computing's Webwasher product can determine whether an executable file has been signed and verified, thus helping to ensure that incoming files are legitimate and not malware disguised as friendly correspondence.

The long-term result of using these authentication products is to help prevent end users from providing personal information to cybercriminals. The authentication in IronMail and Webwasher helps to prevent some would-be cases of identity theft or, in the cases of re-selling credit card or bank information, transnational organized crime.

At the summit, Dr. Paul Judge, Secure Computing chief technology officer, will moderate a panel discussion, April 19th at 1:30pm, titled "360 Degree View -- Real World Authentication; Protecting the Customer." The session will review lessons learned from the deployment of Sender ID/Domain Key Identified Mail, one technique for authenticating email messages so that phishing emails -- or emails that use fraudulent tactics to elicit personal information -- are identified and blocked.

In a separate panel, on April 18th at 3:50pm, "Evolving Threat Research Review - Image Base Spam & More," Dr. Phyllis Schneck, Secure Computing's vice president of research integration, will detail emerging image spam randomization and image manipulation tools as well as the importance of authentication, reputation and other counter-measures.

"Today, spam comprises well over 90-percent of all emails and continues to wreak havoc on organizations that have not taken appropriate measures to defend themselves," said Dr. Phyllis Schneck. "This summit is a perfect forum for us to take all of the information gleaned through our experiences, which include identifying and blocking spam messages for thousands of customers each day. We've long been involved in authentication techniques and can provide significant insight into how they can help eliminate phishing emails and other threats when properly deployed."

Butler Special Shareholder Committee to Refile Complaint Against CEO, Board

PORTLAND, Ore., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Special Shareholders Committee of Butler International, Inc. announced today its intention to make demand on Butler to pursue allegations that Butler's CEO, Edward Kopko ("Kopko") and the Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the shareholders, disenfranchised shareholders' rights to vote, and diluted shareholder value. The demand arises from a series of self-interested transactions, pursuant to which Butler's Board blindly and/or recklessly approved onerous financing transactions that benefited Kopko and diluted the shares of the Butler shareholders.

The Committee intends to make the demand after an amended complaint filed by three shareholders against Butler, Kopko, and the other Board members was dismissed by Judge Thomas J. Bollinger of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Maryland, on April 2, 2007, on the grounds that the plaintiffs improperly pled their claims as a direct action rather than as a derivative action.

Questions regarding the demand may be directed to counsel for the Special Committee, Mr. Lawrence J. Quinn, Tydings & Rosenberg LLP, 100 East Pratt Street, 26th Floor, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, Phone: 410.752.9700, Fax: 410.727.5460

AT&T Services Inc. Obtains Permanent Injunctions Against Alleged Data Brokers With More to FollowCompany Aggressively Pursues Defendants' Alleged Use of Computer Fraud to Improperly Obtain Customer Information

SAN ANTONIO, April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Services Inc. ("AT&T") today announced that it has reached confidential settlements and obtained court-ordered injunctions against 13 alleged pretexters in the federal lawsuits it filed in San Antonio and San Francisco. Similar settlements have been reached with two more defendants, and the courts' entry of permanent injunctions is expected to follow shortly. The settlements reflect undisclosed cash payments together with agreed permanent injunctions that forbid each defendant from engaging in any future unlawful pretexting activity.

Separately, following a hearing on Friday, March 23 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, the court granted a preliminary injunction against Lobel Financial Corporation, which will be the only remaining defendant in the lawsuits.

"We stated at the time we filed these suits that AT&T would use every means available to vigorously pursue individuals and companies who, through fraud, attempt to obtain unauthorized access to customer information," said Dorothy Attwood, chief privacy officer for AT&T. "We have done just that and are very pleased with the results of these cases. We believe that the results send a clear and decisive message that has had a significant and chilling effect on the pretexting community."

In addition to seeking the legal sanctions, AT&T has taken additional steps to prevent this type of activity in the future. "We intend to remain vigilant in order to keep information about our customers secure," Attwood said.

AT&T originally filed the federal lawsuits against unidentified "John Doe" defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas on Aug. 23, 2006, and in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Sept. 6, 2006. The lawsuits allege that the defendants used fraudulent means to gain access to AT&T's business records containing confidential customer information, including calling-record information. The lawsuits, together with AT&T's successful motions for expedited discovery, gave AT&T the authority to issue subpoenas to Internet service providers in an effort to obtain the identities of the perpetrators. Ultimately, 16 businesses and individuals were identified and named as defendants in the lawsuits.

The 13 defendants for whom agreed permanent injunctions have already been obtained are: Brett Alford of Jacksonville, Fla.; A L Skip, Inc. of Brentwood, Calif.; Michael Alan, Inc. of Arvada, Colo.; Autostar U.S.A., Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas; DWC Research, Inc. of Tampa, Fla.; EZ Auto Solutions, Inc. of Galt, Calif.; Katherine Martens of Lutz, Fla.; Kym McDaniel of Ellijay, Ga.; Nae-Mo Corporation d/b/a Mathews and Michaels of Dallas, Texas; Nowcom Corporation of Los Angeles, Calif.; Receivables Specialist, Inc. of Tamarac, Fla.; SRG, Inc. of Richardson, Texas; and Trace America, Inc. of Bonita Springs, Fla. AT&T has also reached agreements with two other defendants: Data Research Inc. of Tucson, Ariz., and WMADM, Inc. d/b/a Wm. Maloy Company of Anaheim, Calif., and expects that agreed permanent injunctions against those defendants will be entered soon.
