USA Network Ignites New Original Series 'Burn Notice' With First Ever Commercial-Free Airing Presented By DIRECTVDIRECTV's Best Picture to Glow as Exclusive Presenting Sponsor of June 28 Premiere

NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- In a first for USA Network, the premiere of the much anticipated new original series, BURN NOTICE, will air commercial- free in its entirety on June 28 at 10pm/9c, it was announced today by Scott Collins, vice president, ad sales, NBC Universal. DIRECTV, the nation's leading satellite television provider, has been named the exclusive presenting sponsor of the broadcast, which includes a massive fully integrated media and marketing partnership.

The commercial-free premiere sponsorship package with DIRECTV includes all marketing efforts from on-air and online to paid media and promotions.

"As the first series from USA Network to ever air commercial-free, we thought audiences would appreciate the opportunity to learn all about our lead character Michael Westen from beginning to end without interruption," said Collins. "And we're thrilled that DIRECTV embraced the show's unique premise to become our inaugural partner for the BURN NOTICE premiere."

"This is a terrific way to help reinforce our HD superiority message in anticipation of offering up to 100 HD channels by the end of the year," said Jon Gieselman, senior vice president of advertising for DIRECTV. "We are always looking for break-through ways to communicate why DIRECTV has a unique advantage over our competitors."

The sponsorship also includes: ON-AIR PROMOTION

As the commercial-free presenting sponsor, DIRECTV's message and brand were integrated into all on-air promotional spots, driving viewers to the premiere episode. USA also included DIRECTV in the introduction as well as the customized live-action closing "Thank You" message. USA Network took its creative cues from DIRECTV's current "4th Wall" television campaign where actors recreate a scene from one of their most iconic film or TV shows and then break the "4th Wall" to talk about DIRECTV (seen in recent DIRECTV on-air spots featuring Charlie Sheen from MAJOR LEAGUE and Pamela Anderson in BAY WATCH).

Lead actor Jeffrey Donovan taped an in-character "thanks for watching" 30- second bumper that will air following the premiere. In the spot, his character Michael Westen, a blacklisted spy, is seen disabling a bugging device in his apartment. When he finishes rendering it inoperable, he turns to the camera and says "Thank you for watching this unique commercial-free presentation of BURN NOTICE presented by DIRECTV." He then throws the device into a sizzling frying pan. Additionally the viewer will be reminded of DIRECTV's sponsorship via brand snipes during the telecast.

BRAND INTEGRATION

DIRECTV will be integrated verbally and visually into two episodes during the summer season.

OFF-AIR

DIRECTV will be included as part of the BURN NOTICE launch campaign including national out-of-home, print, newspaper, radio and digital media.

ONLINE

DIRECTV is one of the presenting sponsors of the official BURN NOTICE microsite. Their sponsorship includes pre-roll and display advertising as well as ownership of the specially created Burn Notice Spy Guide which includes a DIRECTV DVR interface and showcases Michael Westen giving users "CIA 101" type tutorials on everyday life situations.

MOBILE

DIRECTV will be the presenting sponsor of the Burn Notice WAP Site and the weekly SMS Scavenger Hunt.

About Burn Notice

When spies get fired, they don't get a letter from human resources, they get BURNED. This summer, USA Network presents BURN NOTICE, a sexy, action- packed original series starring Jeffrey Donovan ("Touching Evil," "Hitch") as Michael Westen, a blacklisted spy. Series also stars Gabrielle Anwar ("The Tudors," "Scent of A Woman") as Fiona, a beautiful ex-IRA operative who happens to be Westen's ex-girlfriend. Bruce Campbell ("Evil Dead," Army of Darkness") stars as Sam, Michael's closest buddy in town, a washed up military intelligence contact who is keeping an eye on Michael for the Feds. Also starring is Emmy(R) Award-winner Sharon Gless ("Queer as Folk," "Cagney & Lacey") as Madeline, Michael's hypochondriac mother, who couldn't be happier to have her boy back in town. BURN NOTICE will premiere with a one-hour episode on Thursday, June 28 at 10pm/9c and will be followed by 11 one-hour episodes.

About CNS Response

CNS Response is a life sciences company focused on the commercialization of the first patented system that guides psychiatrists in pharmacotherapy for patients with certain behavioral disorders. The Company's system, "Referenced-EEG(SM)" or "rEEG(SM)", matches mental and addiction patient physiology with treatment outcome (a biomarker system).

rEEG(SM) utilizes traditional electroencephalography (EEG) in conjunction with a normative database and a proprietary clinical (symptomatic) database to identify the following: (1) medication classes most likely to be needed; and (2) medications with the most probable treatment potential for each patient. Reports are provided to physicians in a relationship analogous to that of a reference laboratory. Prospective, retrospective and field studies of treatment-resistant patients have reported treatment success of 70% or greater in managed care, outpatient psychiatric and residential substance abuse clinical settings.

In addition to providing analytical support to physicians, CNS Response is also an aide to pharmaceutical developers, who can use rEEG(SM) to (1) stratify study populations to improve the success of FDA clinical trials; (2) provide insight on effective therapeutic dosing of investigational drugs; (3) identify additional indications for psychiatric medications; (4) provide insight into effective drug combinations; and (5) discover opportunities for decision analytics and support. In addition to these applications, CNS Response continues to investigate the use of rEEG analysis for development of proprietary pharmaceutical opportunities.

AIT Laboratories Reduces Costs and Improves the Quality of Results with Help from Waters UPLC/MS TechnologiesWaters ACQUITY UPLC/LCT Premier Mass Spectrometry System Saves Lab Significant Time and Money for Forensic Toxicology Screenings

MILFORD, Mass., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For a fast-paced Midwest laboratory interested in maintaining a high level of customer service and increasing profit margins, it was time to take a hard look at the tried and true analytical methods it had been using for forensic toxicology testing. So AIT Laboratories (Indianapolis, IN) turned to Waters technologies to decrease run times, reduce costs, and improve data quality.

Since AIT Laboratories converted its forensic assays to Waters UltraPerformance LC(R)/mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS) technology it has found that sample preparation and run times are three times faster than that of GC/MS or ELISA tests, the current industry standards. The combination of the speed and resolving power of the Waters(R) ACQUITY UltraPerformance LC(R) System coupled with the exact mass capabilities of the Waters LCT Premier(TM) mass spectrometer has enabled AIT to improve data quality, reduce costs, and offer nationwide clients faster turnaround.

AIT Laboratories performs work on approximately 1,200 autopsy cases per month using an ACQUITY UPLC System combined with a LCT Premier mass spectrometer for toxicology screening. The LCT Premier mass spectrometer is a time-of-flight MS system designed for routine and automated exact mass measurements for the identification of compounds. AIT has observed less ambiguity in their data with fewer false positive results, which has decreased the frequency of required confirmation testing. AIT Laboratories has also seen overall sample preparation and run times that are three times faster than that of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or immunoassay-based ELISA tests which are the standard tests most toxicology labs use today. In addition to having greater sensitivity than GC/MS, AIT's UPLC/MS system creates results that are certified in half the time it takes to certify GC/MS results. AIT estimates it is now saving more than $15,000 per month in labor and supply costs by converting to UPLC/MS.

Since it's founding in 1990, AIT Laboratories has always relied on the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies to meet the assay needs of clients. "At the end of the day, the benefits of the Waters technology have led to improved turn-around time for our clients, and that is what matters most," said Michael A. Evans, PhD., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AIT Laboratories, "I'm an early adopter, and have found that keeping up with the latest technology saves time and money in the long run." AIT Laboratories recently won the 2007 TechPoint Mira Award in the health and life sciences category for its technical prowess in the realm of health and life sciences.

Before turning its toxicology screenings over to UPLC/MS, AIT Laboratories tailored an exhaustive library of hundreds of drug compounds it now uses for screening and identification purposes.

Waters ACQUITY(R) UPLC systems use proprietary 1.7 micron chromatographic particles, very low system volumes and elevated pressure to resolve and detect more peaks in less time than conventional HPLC. When combined with the LCT Premier mass spectrometer, the system provides optimized full spectral MS detection for UPLC(R) separations, providing unsurpassed speed sensitivity and resolution for high throughput applications. "This technique is particularly useful for compounds which are difficult to analyze by gas chromatography- based techniques, and the simpler sample preparation requirements of LC/MS make it an invaluable tool for high- volume toxicology laboratories " said Michael Yelle, Senior Director of Clinical Operations of the Waters Division, "We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with AIT Laboratories to enable them to save costs and time while generating better data to meet exacting industry requirements."

About AIT Laboratories (http://www.aitlabs.com/)

Renowned not only in Indiana but also nationwide, AIT was the first lab in North America to receive certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a federation of national-standards bodies concerned with consistent rules of technical specifications. The company's earned multiple honors from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business and currently ranks as a top-ten life science company in central Indiana.

The company has enjoyed a recent growth rate of three times that of the average independent lab.

AIT has also been recognized for its commitment to culture and diversity in the workplace, earning an Outstanding Employer nod from the Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired and receiving a 2006 Employer Award from the Indianapolis Mayor's Office of Disability Affairs and the Mayor's Advisory Council on Disability.

AIT Laboratories' procedures comply with guidelines distributed by the Society of Forensic Toxicologists (SOFT), the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS), and The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists (TIAFT).

Many urban centers have set up Web portals to facilitate the citizen-to-government interface necessary to support the delivery of services. An electronic interface as a one-stop destination for public access to information on various aspects of government functions well as a single window for the delivery of government services. However, rural centers and cities that lack the infrastructure necessary for every citizen to have Web access are disadvantaged because in the absence of Web connectivity, provisioning of government services is done manually. In regions that don't have Internet access, citizens are forced to wait in long lines for each service or information request. The pilot project using SCO Mobile Server enables electronic provisioning of services and access to government information using a cell phone over the cell carrier network. Since cell coverage in rural areas is readily available, nearly every citizen in Indore will gain electronic access to services and information.

The Honorable Divisional Commissioner of Indore, Shri Ashok Das, is the pioneer who envisioned that rural areas could participate in e-governance by using the ubiquitous cellular network to capture and retrieve data. His vision and subsequent selection of SCO Mobile Server earned him the "Best Technology Implementation" award for the e-governance pilot project in his region.

"We wanted to evaluate the productivity of people working with us which was only possible by reviewing their performance. We decided to choose e-mobility with e-governance for the uninterrupted data sharing process, which could make the current information available to us on a real-time basis. SCO Mobile Server technology was a perfect choice as it provides a complete end-to-end solution, and it enables the user to upload and download data on the move," said Das. "The SCO Mobile solution helped us capture data and conduct business transactions in real-time. The objective is to develop the mobile monitoring and control system within the existing framework of processes which can cater to effective data capture and transparent reporting for the Office of Revenue department," added Das.

"Getting real-time, up-to-date information is very crucial for effective MP Government operations," said Subodh Rustagi, Country Manager - SCO India & Southeast Asia. "SCO's solution, based on SCO Mobile Server, achieved these goals by enabling users to upload data using a smart handheld device and making this information immediately available to the commissioner. Based on our experience with this solution, SCO will offer mobile solutions to other government departments."

"The Indian market represents a high-growth potential for SCO Mobile," said Sandy Gupta, Chief Technology Officer of The SCO Group. "SCO has a long established presence in this region and is familiar with bringing products to the Indian market. We have established our partner eco-system in that region by engaging in important relationships with vertical solution providers, system integrators and development houses around SCO Mobile technology and business."

Next Inning Technology Publishes State of Tech Report Schedule: Updates Outlooks for International Rectifier, Micrel, Dell, and Bell Microproducts

PRINCETON, N.J., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced its schedule for publishing its quarterly State of Tech report and, with it, provided updates on several companies that are delinquent in filing reports with the SEC including International Rectifier , Micrel , Dell , and Bell Microproducts .

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn500

In this announcement, McWilliams outlined his goals for the upcoming State of Tech report:

-- To provide a strategic review to help us assess our asset allocation and long-term thinking. -- To provide a unique view of the taxonomy of the tech industry that helps us spot waves of change that may cause certain tech sectors to see changes in their demand environment and/or their value proposition within the supply chain. -- To provide a snapshot of revenue, profitability, and inventory trends within the various tech sectors. -- To provide a valuation assessment of various tech sectors and individual companies. -- Provide a foundation from which we can build an earnings season strategy - this is augmented with the monthly semiconductor report, which is published around the first of every month, and earnings preview reports that are published weekly during the peak weeks of earnings season. Earnings season provides us with opportunities to not only make some quick trades, but also adjust our long-term positions.

In his comments concerning companies that are delinquent their filings with the SEC, McWilliams answered several pressing questions for investors:

-- Does McWilliams see an investigation into a revenue recognition issue at International Rectifier as materially threatening to the company's long-term strategy? -- Several things have changed at Micrel during the last year or so. As an investor, how does McWilliams view these changes? -- What does McWilliams believe is driving Dell's earnings growth? -- Bell Microproducts undertook a major initiative to fix its problems in the European markets just prior to when it discontinued its filings to the SEC. What are McWilliams' thoughts regarding the status of Bell in Europe?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 282% since its inception versus 100% for the Nasdaq.

Consumers in Eight More New York Communities Gain TV Choice as Verizon Expands FiOS TVNew Fiber-Optic-Network Service Available in More Long Island, Rockland County and Westchester County Communities

NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- An innovative, reliable and competitive alternative to cable TV is coming to more New York consumers as Verizon expands its industry-leading FiOS TV service, which is provided on the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network straight to customers' homes.

Verizon is now taking orders for FiOS TV in parts of Bayville, the Town of North Hempstead, New Hyde Park, Sands Point, the Town of Haverstraw, West Haverstraw, Chestnut Ridge and the Town of North Castle, including the unincorporated hamlets within each of the eight towns.

The company already offers FiOS TV in more than 70 New York communities through cable franchises that have been approved in White Plains, Rye Brook, Irvington, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytown, Eastchester, Mount Kisco, Elmsford, Port Chester, Tuckahoe, Orangetown, Piermont, the Town of Greenburgh, Airmont, Clarkstown, Nyack, South Nyack, Upper Nyack, Grandview- on-Hudson, Massapequa Park, Cedarhurst, Laurel Hollow, Lynbrook, Mineola, East Rockaway, Farmingdale, Valley Stream, Freeport, Williston Park, Huntington, Smithtown, Hempstead and Oyster Bay. Verizon also has been granted franchises by Mount Pleasant and Old Field and will launch FiOS TV in these communities soon.

[NOTE: See complete list below of New York communities where FiOS TV is now available.]

"Residents of these eight additional communities now can join the other New Yorkers who have been given an outstanding, superior choice for their video entertainment," said Monica Azare, Verizon senior vice president for New York and Connecticut. "FiOS TV will bring something to consumers they've never had before, with incredible pictures and sound clarity and innovative new services - all from a brand they know and trust.

"Customers who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. We've harnessed the speed and capacity of fiber- based broadband with the power of broadcast to create a revolutionary, new entertainment experience," said Azare.

Consumers can check online at http://www.verizon.com/fiostv to see if FiOS TV is already available in their area, or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV becomes available. Customers also can call their local Verizon sales office or 1-800-880-2941.

Service Highlights

Verizon's FiOS TV Premier package delivers 200 all-digital channels for $42.99 per month. The package includes 28 high-definition (HD) channels in the New York market and access to more than 8,600 on-demand titles, 60 percent of which are free. Sports fans subscribing to FiOS TV Premier in the New York market will also receive the YES Network, MSG Network, FSN New York and SportsNet NY at no extra charge.

All Verizon FiOS TV-eligible customers in New York have the option to trim their monthly bill by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet Service and the Verizon Freedom Essentials voice service - all for under $95 a month.

Verizon offers three set-top boxes: standard definition for $4.99 per month; high definition, which includes HD channels, for $9.99 per month; and a dual-tuner, HD-capable digital video recorder for $12.99 per month.

Verizon also offers innovative features not available from other providers, such as Home Media DVR (digital video recorder) and FiOS TV Widgets. Home Media DVR, at $19.99 per month, has a multi-room DVR feature enabling up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. Customers also can access photos and music on their PCs and play them on their TV. FiOS TV Widgets is a free interactive feature that provides viewers with local weather and traffic information while they're watching their favorite shows.

In addition to New York, Verizon currently offers FiOS TV in parts of California, Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Maryland and Rhode Island.

Delivered over Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, FiOS TV is a formidable competitor to cable and satellite. Verizon's FTTP network delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. The company's fiber network also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps, as well as high-quality voice service.*

The value of FiOS TV extends to the installation and customer support. Specially trained Verizon technicians will install the service and acquaint subscribers with FiOS TV features and services. Verizon is waiving the installation fee for up to three existing TV outlets, and there is no charge to install a needed optical network terminal at the subscriber's home. Charges for other installation services, such as additional outlets, may apply. Verizon provides 24x7 technical assistance by phone from its specialized Fiber Solutions Centers.

The Quantum Group, Inc. Announces Former IBM Executive P.L. 'Pete' Martinez Has Joined the CompanyNamed Vice President, Chief Technology & Innovations Officer

WELLINGTON, Fla., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Quantum Group, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: QNTM) (http://www.quantummd.com/) announced today that P.L. "Pete" Martinez has joined the Company as Vice President, Chief Technology & Innovations Officer. Martinez is a former IBM Vice President of Global Business Services and Senior Location Executive for IBM South Florida until his recent retirement from the company.

Noel J. Guillama, President & CEO of The Quantum Group commented, "As we built the foundation of what is today The Quantum Group, Inc., we professed the critical role technology would play in our revolutionary structure. Today, I can say we are making a huge leap forward in this regard with the announcement that Pete Martinez is joining our senior management team. Pete's innovative approach, wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as his pioneering spirit make him a perfect addition to our team."

Guillama continued, "I have asked Pete to begin at the 50,000 foot view to develop the integrated system which will, in the near future, power the mission of the Quantum Group of companies. He has been given carte blanche to evaluate where we are and to take us where we need to go to develop efficient, quality, proactive, cost effective and innovative healthcare solutions."

Throughout his thirty-two year career with IBM, Martinez has led numerous successful entrepreneurial businesses. From a leadership position in IBM's original PC business to pioneering the first electronic services on the Internet and the creation of e-business consulting, he has been an innovator of both business and technology. Most recently, he led a 1,700 person organization composed of consultants, hardware and software developers, industry specialists and sales leaders. In 2003, Martinez led the formation of IBM's largest Human Resource Business Transformation Multi-Client Center, which opened a multi-billion dollar outsourcing business. Previously, he led the formation of business consulting and system integration services in Latin America, a 2,000 person, $200 million business. He was also the first executive of IBM's e-business Strategy Consulting and Consulting Profession Leader for the Americas. Martinez led the IBM University Consortium 'LA Grid' (Latin America Grid) and the advanced pandemic global research initiative 'Project Checkmate'.

With a strong technology foundation, Martinez has been able to define creative solutions to business problems. He has worked with banks, manufacturers, governments, biotech firms, hospitals, academia, media firms, and retailers in defining new strategies for cost containment, growth and transformation of processes and market channels.

Martinez commented, "Healthcare is one of the few remaining industries that have not leveraged the new business models, processes and technologies of the 21st Century. The opportunity to significantly accelerate cost reductions while improving quality of care is real and mandatory. I believe that The Quantum Group has a laser sharp focus matched with a pragmatic vision of the benefits of coupling technology to care. The potential is very exciting."

Guillama, in an address to company stakeholders stated, "We are confident that we have built one of Florida's largest and best healthcare delivery system which will soon be available to over 80% of the Medicare beneficiaries in Florida. Our revolutionary approach to interconnecting our patients, providers, hospitals and payers will be possible through the creation of a new platform for improved and more cost effective care - ultimately eliminating critical time, duplication of efforts and wasted resources which do not provide for better care and outcomes. We believe that we need to convert information held by each party in the delivery cycle, to intelligent systems shared by all for the benefit of our patient's health. I am extremely confident that Pete Martinez is the person to bring it all together."

Martinez is a frequent key note at international conferences and has been featured by the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, ABC News, The Economist, Univision and CNN. He has over 20 patents and technical publications in the areas of: computer architecture, robotics, optical disks and display technology. Martinez is a member of the Board of Directors for several organizations in business development and healthcare, and he serves on the Advisory Board of the University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University; the latter for which he is also a visiting professor. Further, Mr. Martinez is Chairman Elect of the Florida Research Consortium.

The Quantum Group, based in Wellington, Florida, is one of Florida's largest community based healthcare provider systems. In conjunction with its subsidiary companies, including Renaissance Health System of Florida, Inc. (RHS) (http://www.rhsfl.com/), Quantum provides administrative and support services to the Florida managed care industry as well as to the physicians of Florida. Through our growing number of nearly 1,600 contracted physicians and multiple managed care relationships in the state of Florida, we are strategically positioned to bring increased efficiencies to the over $100 billion Florida healthcare industry. According to an article published in the August 22, 2006 edition of the New York Times (By Gina Kolata), "By 2030, predicts Robert W. Fogel, a Nobel laureate at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, about 25 percent of the G.D.P. will be spent on health care, making it 'the driving force in the economy,' just as railroads drove the economy at the start of the 20th century."

Certain statements contained in this news release, which are not based on historical facts, are forward-looking statements as the term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to substantial uncertainties and risks in part detailed in the respective Company's Securities and Exchange Commission 10-KSB, 10-QSB, S-8 and 8-K filings, that may cause actual results to materially differ from projections. Although the Company believes that its expectations are reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its businesses, expectations, representations and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from their expectations. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the Company's ability to execute properly its new business model, to raise substantial and immediate additional capital to implement its continuing business model, the ability to attract and retain personnel - including highly qualified executives, management and operational personnel, ability to negotiate favorable current debt and future capital raises, ability to manage the care of its patients with reasonable medical loss ration, ability to negotiate beneficial managed care agreements with a diversified and expanding provider base, continue to supply the services needed by the HMO clients as well as the growing list of physician clients and the inherent risk associated with a diversified business to achieve positive cash flow. With this announcement the Company has formally embarked on a plan to acquire, build, integrate and or lease technology systems, software and other solutions for its own use and possibly for the sale or lease to other organizations ranging from individual physicians to healthcare delivery systems. The preliminary assumptions are that $30MM will be needed over the next 3 years. The Company believes, but has no assurances that such a project can be built, funded or deployed, and will face substantial obstacles in such an endeavor. This endeavor may distract, divert and interfere with management's other objectives as well as divert resources from other operations. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this press release will, in fact, occur.

Bank of America Expands Capabilities of InstaQuote(R) Trading PlatformNew Enhancements Support Equity Options and Futures Trading Strategies

NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America today announced two new derivatives-focused enhancements to its InstaQuote(R) direct market access platform. As the firm's latest smart order routing solution for equity options, Spread Trader was launched to help enable InstaQuote users to efficiently enter multi-leg options orders electronically across the complex order books of both the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and the International Securities Exchange (ISE), and then source additional liquidity across all other U.S. options exchanges.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050720/CLW086LOGO-b )

Spread Trader may be especially suited for traders seeking to enhance their multi-legged options strategies, at each leg of the trade, using sophisticated liquidity aggregators and decision support tools. Bank of America is the first to introduce this advanced options order routing technology via its own trading platform, InstaQuote.

"As equity option volume continues to grow, we see unique opportunities to help facilitate best electronic execution in the broader derivatives markets," added Dean Curnutt, head of Institutional Equity Derivative and Convertible Sales for Bank of America. "Our Spread Trader functionality is a powerful addition to the suite of tools our users have available to enter option orders electronically."

In a recent study conducted in 2006, in conjunction with Financial Insights, Bank of America found a relatively high market penetration for automated options trading. Sixty-one percent of respondents indicated that they traded some portion of their options holdings electronically, compared with just 39% who rely solely on the telephone. Respondents who execute electronically tend to be repeat users, trading more than 70% of their total order flow in an automated fashion.

In addition, the firm also announced that InstaQuote users now have full access to all futures listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's (CME) Globex platform. This new functionally includes full charting capabilities, pre-trade allocation, and the ability to process iceberg orders.

"Derivatives desks are beginning to embrace automated trading technologies," explained Jason Crosby, head of Global Markets Electronic Trading Services Sales for Bank of America. "Our advanced solutions set us apart by helping traders access multiple markets and effectively enter complex trades while realizing cost efficiencies," he said.

ATLANTA, June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EarthLink, Inc. announced today that its Board of Directors has named Rolla P. Huff to serve as the Company's new president and chief executive officer.

"After an extensive search process by our Board, we have found the new leader for EarthLink," said Robert M. Kavner, chairman of EarthLink's Board of Directors. "We believe that Rolla has the experience and strategic acumen required for EarthLink to create value for its shareholders, while maintaining its track record of innovation and customer service."

"Rolla has substantial experience in providing both wireless and wireline, Internet and voice products to consumer and business markets. We will look to Rolla to set EarthLink's strategic direction for the future."

Kavner added, "The Board would also like to express our thanks to Mike Lunsford for stepping in as our interim CEO during a critical transition period."

Huff, 50, served as the chairman and chief executive officer of Mpower Communications, a facilities-based provider of voice and data services to both the business and consumer markets from 1999 to 2006. Prior to Mpower, he served as president and chief operating officer, and earlier as chief financial officer, of Frontier Corporation until its acquisition in 1999. Between 1983 and 1998, Huff served in a variety of roles at NCR, AT&T, and AT&T Wireless, including president of the Central US Region of AT&T Wireless, CFO of AT&T Wireless, financial vice president of merger and acquisitions for AT&T.

"EarthLink is one of the Internet's great brands with millions of loyal subscribers, more than a billion dollars in annual customer revenue, a core business that generates substantial free cash flow, a strong balance sheet, and a great team of people dedicated to superior customer service," said Huff. "I believe EarthLink has the elements to create substantial shareholder value. Accordingly, I have purchased from the Company 100,000 shares of EarthLink stock."

Huff added, "I am honored to be joining the leadership of this great company and am pleased that Mike Lunsford has agreed to continue to be a part of the executive team."

Sky Dayton, EarthLink founder and director said, "EarthLink started with a simple principle: Make it easy for anyone to connect to and unlock the power of the Internet. Now the Internet is evolving from a simple computer connection into voice, data and wireless services that are ubiquitous and always on, and in this new world, our founding idea is more relevant than ever. Rolla is a proven leader who has delivered results for customers, employees and shareholders over two decades. I think he is the perfect CEO to have at the helm during this very important time in EarthLink's history."

The Company also announced an increase in the size of its Board of Directors to eight members and the appointment of Mr. Huff as a new member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Huff will also serve as one of the representatives of the Company on the Board of Directors of HELIO, a joint venture between the Company and SK Telecom Co., Ltd.

Raytheon-Sponsored Air Traffic Industry Round Table Provides Key to Reducing Delays and Increasing Safety

WASHINGTON, June 25, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- The key to reducing delays and increasing safety in the aviation industry lies in the speedy adoption of a satellite-based air traffic control system, according to aviation experts at a recent Raytheon Company -sponsored industry roundtable discussion.

Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) has been called the future of air traffic control. Instead of using radar data, signals from Global Positioning System satellites will provide air traffic controllers and pilots with much more accurate information to keep aircraft safely separated in the sky and on runways.

The industry roundtable discussion, moderated by Jane F. Garvey, former head of the Federal Aviation Administration, included the insights of James May, president of the Air Transport Association, the nation's oldest and largest airline trade association; Capt. Bart Roberts, managing director of flight operations for American Airlines; Roderick MacKenzie, vice president of Advanced Applications for XM Radio; and Andrew Zogg, Raytheon vice president of Airspace Management and Homeland Security.

"This is an issue of great importance to our nation," said Zogg. "Every day, more than 60 percent of the world's air traffic passes through U.S. airspace. In 10 to 20 years, we expect more than 1 billion passengers will travel annually by airplane, and thousands of new consumer jets will swarm the skies. And this will burden a system that uses technology derived from the great innovators of World War II."

The FAA is addressing these issues with a project that promises to revolutionize the U.S. aviation industry. If successful, the FAA's ADS-B program will greatly reduce flight delays, increase air safety and enable air traffic controllers to better manage increasingly crowded skies.

"ADS-B will be a great enabler to allow our member airlines to fly more efficient routes," said May. "Moving to this modernized GPS technology will also save fuel, reduce emissions while mitigating delays. Across the board, it is going to benefit the flying public tremendously."

Safety benefits, however, are the primary driver of the ADS-B solution.

"A single runway incursion accident prevented, or the prevention of another mid-air accident, or the intervention before a controlled flight into a mountain are the headlines of the past," said Roberts. "We will not read about them in the future because of what ADS-B will become to aviation safety."

After successful testing of the technology, the FAA reserved $80 million for fiscal 2007 to begin initial implementation of ADS-B in the national airspace system. Raytheon is one of three teams pursuing the ADS-B program; the FAA is expected to select the winning team and award a contract in August.

"The Raytheon team is proposing an innovative single frequency solution for the FAA's ADS-B program that reduces equipment costs and improves safety by adopting the single international standard for locating aircraft," said Zogg. "The Raytheon solution is more cost effective because it adopts a frequency already being used by commercial and general aviation aircraft."

The savings also are realized by using the existing technology developed by XM Radio to deliver graphical weather displays to the cockpit through their XM WX Weather Service.

"It is recognized that in about 30 percent of aviation accidents, weather was a contributing factor," said MacKenzie. "The industry acknowledged the power of real-time graphical weather in-flight to improve pilots' situational awareness and has adopted this solution very quickly. Today about 80 percent of all new general aviation aircraft delivered has the XM WX Weather Service capability installed at the factory."

As ADS-B is deployed, both government and industry agree on the benefits. "We all hope that ADS-B will be the equivalent of widening our nation's airways from two lane country roads to six-lane interstate and international highways," said Zogg. "All the while, ADS-B will provide increased safety and convenience to the millions of passengers flying every day."

Raytheon Company, with 2006 sales of $20.3 billion, is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning 85 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 73,000 people worldwide.

StreamAudio Announces Radio Streaming Agreement with Emmis Communications

NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmis Communications chooses StreamAudio to "stream" its radio signals on the Internet for all stations.

Brian Rozelle, Director of Technology for Emmis Interactive, said, "We developed a complete plan for implementing Internet streaming for all of our U.S. based radio stations, complete with the software and features that we required for advertising on the Internet, and shared these with multiple vendors. After careful review, we determined that StreamAudio has the most complete streaming features, infrastructure, and user-friendly software in the industry today."

Robert Lisiak, Sr LAN/WAN Analyst for Emmis, a member of the "roll-out" team for the streaming initiative, said, "We had a requirement that all station personnel responsible for either streaming the stations or selling Internet ads really understood how the StreamAudio streaming infrastructure and ad insertion software worked before any station began streaming. StreamAudio has a good technical staff that was committed to helping us customize and roll out their great product, and this made for a painless and successful process."

Bruce Walden, GM for Emmis Austin Radio and member of the roll-out team, said, "We worked out a training program with StreamAudio by market, by week. StreamAudio did a great job training our staff and getting each of our stations up and running.
