VantageScore Gains Market Momentum Among Industry LeadersEquifax Retail and Technology Customers Embrace VantageScore(sm)

ATLANTA, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Equifax Inc. today announced that several banking, retail and technology customers are incorporating VantageScore(sm) into their decisioning processes. Fingerhut, a national direct mail and web retailer of a broad range of consumer products and services, will leverage VantageScore for its portfolio reviews. Recently, I4 Commerce, which provides strategic payments and marketing technology solutions to merchants across the country, began utilizing VantageScore within its underwriting process.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060224/CLF037LOGO )

VantageScore, a credit score jointly developed by Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, is a direct result of market demand for a more consistent and predictive approach to credit-scoring methodology across all three national credit reporting companies. Introduced to the market in March 2006, VantageScore is recognized today as an alternative risk management scoring solution.

"Currently we have 100 major financial and retail institution customers in various stages of evaluating and testing VantageScore," said Dann Adams, president of US Consumer Information Solutions, Equifax. "VantageScore represents a breakthrough in credit scoring where score variability among the three major credit reporting companies is due solely to data differences within the credit files."

All three credit reporting companies use the same VantageScore algorithm to calculate the credit score. VantageScore leverages the collective experience of the industry's leading experts on credit data, scoring and analytics. In addition to Fingerhut and I4 Commerce, several other Equifax customers have begun using VantageScore within their underwriting processes for mortgage, credit card and pre-screen decisioning.

"Fingerhut has come to rely on Equifax to provide industry-leading analytics and technologies that enable us to offer our customers immediate credit access," said Richard Payne, senior vice president and chief credit officer, Fingerhut. "We have been impressed by VantageScore's performance and look forward to using the score more in the future."

Through complex analytic models, Equifax Predictive Sciences mines data to generate new intelligence for customer decisions. The result is the opportunity for our customers to offer more products to more of their consumer and business customers. For more information about Equifax solutions, visit http://www.equifax.com/.

VantageScore is being independently marketed and sold separately through each of the three national credit reporting companies via licensing agreements with VantageScore Solutions, LLC.

June 30th Deadline for Wisconsin Microsoft Settlement Claims-Consumers and Needy Schools Stand to Gain

MILWAUKEE, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- June 30th is the last day for Wisconsin consumers and businesses to claim up to $233,896,000 in benefits from a class action settlement with Microsoft , the lawyers involved in the Court-approved settlement announced today. The settlement includes Wisconsin consumers, businesses, and governmental entities that acquired Microsoft software from December 7, 1993 through April 30, 2003, for use in Wisconsin.

The class-action lawsuit alleged that Microsoft violated Wisconsin's antitrust and unfair competition laws. Under the settlement, which was approved April 6, Microsoft denies that it did anything wrong and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that any law was violated. The Court did not rule on the merits of the lawsuit. Microsoft will distribute up to $223,896,000 in vouchers that eligible class members can redeem regarding their purchases of computers, peripheral computer hardware, and computer software made by any manufacturer. The vouchers are worth $23 each for Microsoft's "Office" productivity suite software and Microsoft's "Excel" spreadsheet software; $15 each for Microsoft's "Windows" and "MS-DOS" operating system software; and $10 each for Microsoft's "Word" word processing software (including "Home Essentials" and "Works Suite").

To qualify for vouchers, those included must fill out and submit a claim form available at http://www.microsoftwisuit.com/ or by calling the Court's Settlement Administrator at 1-800-598-3050. Claims for five or fewer licenses and up to $100, may be submitted with no need to provide any additional documents or proof about software purchases.

"We are pleased that a significant portion of the settlement proceeds will benefit deserving K-12 schools in Wisconsin," said Rich Wallis, Associate General Counsel for Microsoft. If the total value of vouchers issued to Class members is less than $223,896,000, Microsoft will distribute technology vouchers worth one-half of the remaining amount to qualified public, tribal, and Bureau of Indian Affairs elementary, middle, junior high, and high schools (K-12) in Wisconsin." Ben Barnow, one of the attorneys for the Class, stated that "this is a superior settlement that benefits the Class both directly with the vouchers and indirectly with the aid to needy schools. We look forward to its benefits being realized by the Wisconsin Class and the needy schools."

These vouchers can be used up to four years after they are distributed. With certain limitations, the vouchers can be transferred, sold, or given away as a personal gift or charitable donation. If vouchers are unclaimed, 50% of the unclaimed amount goes to the provision for needy schools. But if the vouchers are claimed, but not used, 100% goes to the needy schools.

For larger claims or for software that was not acquired through a volume license program (e.g., "Open," "Select," or "Enterprise" licenses), claimants will need to provide additional information about software purchases. Those who acquired software through a volume license program will need to complete a Volume License Claim Form. The claim forms contain detailed instructions about filling them out.

The Court-approved website is http://www.microsoftwisuit.com/ and the toll- free phone number is 1-800-598-3050.

Management of these messages is easily done through PASSUR online password access messaging tools, requiring no Airport IT involvement. -- "My Home Locator" - providing AirportMonitor users the ability to pinpoint their home on the AirportMonitor background map by entering their address, allowing for a more effective assessment of airspace and flight activity in relation to the user's residence.

DuPont Tate & Lyle Joint Venture Officially Opens $100 Million Bio-PDO(TM) Facility - the World's First to Produce Propanediol from Corn Sugar U.S. Secretary of Energy Bodman Recognizes Advancements in Bio-Based Technology

LOUDON, Tenn., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products, LLC, an equally owned joint venture of DuPont and Tate & Lyle, today marked the growing demand for products made from its revolutionary Bio-PDO(TM) product here today. U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman joined senior leaders from DuPont, Tate & Lyle, the joint venture and their customers to see the new production facility first-hand and recognize its official opening.

The Loudon facility produces 1,3-propanediol (Bio-PDO(TM)) from renewable resources - in this case corn sugar - making it the first facility in the world to manufacture this new bio-based product. Bio-PDO(TM) is a versatile, biodegradable and high-performance ingredient that can be used in cosmetics, liquid detergents and industrial applications such as anti-freeze and many other applications that currently use glycols. It also can be used as a monomer to produce unsaturated polyester resins as well as other specialty polymers such as DuPont(TM) Sorona(R) and the latest renewably sourced polymer, DuPont(TM) Cerenol(TM). In addition, renewably sourced Hytrel(R) thermoplastic elastomers and a new line of renewable DuPont automotive finishes are two new product lines scheduled to launch later this year. The first commercial product was sold in November 2006, and demand for new uses of Bio-PDO(TM) continues to grow with nearly a dozen product applications.

"It's encouraging to see industry team up to make incredible advances in bio-based technology, building upon the Department of Energy's efforts to reduce our reliance on imported oil, aggressively confront climate change and help maintain our nation's competitive edge in the global marketplace," Secretary Bodman said. "I've seen tremendous examples today of how private sector investment can make available to consumers more affordable, homegrown and environmentally sensitive products. I commend DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products for taking bold steps to maximize domestically grown resources, and I'd like to see more of this type of collaboration."

The joint venture uses a proprietary fermentation process developed jointly by DuPont and Tate & Lyle to produce Bio-PDO(TM) using corn sugar instead of petroleum-based feedstocks. The production of Bio-PDO(TM) consumes 40 percent less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent compared to petroleum-based propanediol. Annual production of 100 million pounds of Bio-PDO(TM) will save the energy equivalent of over 15 million gallons of gasoline per year, or enough to fuel more than 27,000 cars - over half the cars in Loudon County, Tenn.

At today's event, the American Chemical Society (ACS) presented the research teams involved in the development of Bio-PDO(TM) with the prestigious 2007 Heroes of Chemistry award. The program highlights the vital role of industrial chemical scientists and their companies in improving human welfare through successful commercial innovations and products. Recipients are selected based on the technical merit of the chemical innovation, including talent and foresight demonstrated by the nominees, the commercial impact of the products on the marketplace, and the benefits to mankind through the products' performance. Representing the teams and organizations receiving the award were: Charlie Nakamura and Cathy Babowitz of DuPont, Dennis Adkesson of Tate & Lyle, and Gregg Whited of Genencor International.

"The Loudon Bio-PDO(TM) production process is on the leading edge of industrial biotechnology," said DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products President Steven Mirshak. "We are quickly growing into a business that delivers high performing, renewable products to diverse markets globally. This was the goal and vision of our parent companies. We are enabling our customers to produce high-quality, renewably sourced products based on Susterra(TM) and Zemea(TM) propanediol."

"We began looking at bio-based, renewable materials in 1993 as the natural evolution of DuPont science," DuPont Chairman & CEO Charles O. Holliday, Jr. said. "Today, the growth opportunity is exponential with applications in personal care, automotive, paints, athletic equipment, apparel and more. Bio- PDO(TM) has demonstrated that our approach to integrated science works. We are seeing further evidence of this in the development of advanced biofuels and other renewable products in our pipeline. I am more confident than ever that we as a society are making progress toward building a global economy that addresses energy challenges in a sustainable way."

Tate & Lyle's Chief Executive Iain Ferguson said, "Today's event is the culmination of our companies working together to open up real commercial opportunities and drive scientific advancement. Industrial biotechnology that remains focused on the consumer can help businesses not only reduce their dependence on traditional petrochemical fuel sources - helping companies to cut costs and pollution - but also can deliver more choice and better products for consumers."

Bio-PDO(TM) is available in two grades: Zemea(TM) and Susterra(TM) propanediol. Zemea(TM) has been developed for the personal care and liquid detergent categories where high purity level and low irritation are key product requirements. Susterra(TM) propanediol is ideal for industrial applications such as de-icing fluids, anti-freeze and heat transfer fluids, where its low toxicity and biodegradability are beneficial. To learn more about Susterra(TM) or Zemea(TM) corn-derived propanediol, visit http://www.duponttateandlyle.com/. Today's event was webcast and can be viewed at: http://mediasite.advancedav.com/dupont/register.html.

DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere.

Lionbridge Expands Its Microsoft Certification Portfolio with the New 'Certified For Windows Server 2008' ProgramIn its 13th Year, Lionbridge's VeriTest Certification Service Now Testing Applications for Integration with the Next Version of Microsoft's Server Operating System; Complements VeriTest's Microsoft Certified for Windows Vista Program

WALTHAM, Mass., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., today announced that Microsoft has chosen its VeriTest(R) testing division as a provider of testing and validation services for independent software vendors (ISVs) seeking the Microsoft Certified for Windows Server 2008 designation for their applications. During the past 13 years, Lionbridge has enabled thousands of ISVs in the Microsoft ecosystem to maximize the reach of their application through comprehensive application development, testing, certification, and localization services. As a longstanding Microsoft certification partner, Lionbridge provides ISVs with a consistent experience from previous tests and ensures a quick and streamlined process that allows ISVs to quickly gain certification status and begin marketing their products.

Available today, VeriTest Pre-Certification services help ISVs prepare software products for the Certified for Windows Server 2008 logo. The VeriTest team will assess a pre-release version of the product for compliance with the Test Specification test cases that will most likely cause products to fail the official test. The pre-certification report will enable the correction of most logo compliance issues without disrupting product's release schedules.

VeriTest offers a Fast Pass to ISVs that are committed to having one or more products certified in time for the launch of Windows Server 2008. This Fast Pass allows ISVs to avoid the last minute rush and reserve their place at the head of the queue when logo testing becomes available.

"Certification programs through VeriTest help ISVs manage each stage of the process, including pre-certification and code maintenance. Our global project management and longstanding expertise in Microsoft certification creates a clear path for developers around the world to develop and release reliable applications that are compatible with Microsoft platforms," said Steve Nemzer, vice president, global development and test, Lionbridge. "This new certification program builds on our successful relationship with Microsoft and its ISV partners, who continue to rely on Lionbridge's VeriTest service to ensure the reliability, compatibility and usability of applications worldwide."

VeriTest pioneered product certification testing together with Microsoft in 1994 when it helped launch the first Designed for Windows logo program. Today, VeriTest is an authorized solutions partner for many Microsoft certification programs, including the Microsoft Certified for Windows Vista Program. The test services from VeriTest enable current and prospective ISV members of the Windows partner ecosystem to quickly and cost-effectively ensure that their applications meet the Microsoft specifications.

"We have worked with Lionbridge and its VeriTest division for many years to deliver quality certification tests across a full range of products," said Joseph Landes, director of product management, Windows Server Division at Microsoft Corp. "Through the combination of tools on the Web site, the pre- certification test, and reducing the actual test duration in half without any compromise to quality, we've reduced the overall cost of certifying applications for Windows Server 2008 by roughly 50 percent."

Microsoft announced the Windows Server 2008 logo program in a separate announcement http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2007/jun07/06-05WinServer08.mspx .

ST Journal Presents Latest Research Findings in Wireless Sensor Networks

GENEVA, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , a leader in wireless and sensor technology, has published its latest issue of the ST Journal of Research focusing on Wireless Sensor Networks. Previous issues, similarly focused on a particular technology theme, have presented details on the Company's advanced research efforts on MEMS and Multimedia Streaming Technologies.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the key enablers of Ambient Intelligence, a vision establishing a smart, friendly, and context-aware environment that can detect and respond to specific human needs. WSNs are composed of miniature and interconnected smart devices that interact with each other seamlessly, creating an environment where computing and networking technology coexist with people in a ubiquitous and pervasive way.

WSN devices, which have been referred to as 'smart dust,' are complex integrated systems implementing a combination of functions including communication, security and signal or application processing. Because of the breadth of functions, research work in this field encompasses several domains, including sensor technology, radio-frequency communication, ad-hoc networks, low-power microcontrollers, transduction principles, energy management and middleware. The interoperability of WSNs with existing technologies such as the Internet, broadband wireless networks or database management systems is an important driver and consideration for the adoption and proliferation of WSNs.

STMicroelectronics has been among the first companies to enter the WSN market with the introduction of sensors, low-power microcontrollers, wireless radio devices, and other components in its portfolio. STMicroelectronics is a promoter of the Zigbee(TM) alliance, an industry consortium working on the definition of network, security and application layers towards truly interoperable WSNs.

The editors of the ST Journal of Research have collected eleven technical papers addressing both system overviews and specific design topics. In the system overview arena, this issue covers ad-hoc networking technologies for WSN, radio-frequency issues, the integration of WSNs with the Internet, the mass-market adoption of Zigbee(TM) solutions, techniques for source and node localization and the usage of WSN and MEMS for posture and activity recognition. Papers on specific design solutions cover a broad spectrum: the impact of impulsive interference on network throughput and energy consumption, medium-access control schemes in the IEEE 802.15.4a standard, solutions for the trade-off between power consumption and die area, and the usage of elliptic curve cryptography coprocessors for security issues.

"Mastering different system and process-technology domains is necessary to provide winning WSN solutions," said Jim Nicholas, Microcontroller Division General Manager, STMicroelectronics. "This issue of the ST Journal aims at sharing and exchanging the results of the activities of ST and its research partners in this field with the technical community worldwide."

The ST Journal of Research aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and exchange on key research issues, methodologies, and solutions. ST publishes its journal in electronic format and is available at http://www.st.com/stonline/press/magazine/stjournal/index.htm.
