NEW YORK, Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of BET Networks' 2008 national election coverage, BET News sits down with the 2008 presidential hopefuls for a series of compelling interviews titled "WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?" For the premiere special, BET speaks with the man on a mission to become the first Black man in the White House, Senator Barack Obama, in the half-hour special WHAT'S IN IT FOR US? BARACK OBAMA AND THE BLACK VOTE, premiering Tuesday, January 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The second special WHAT'S IN IT FOR US? HILLARY CLINTON AND THE BLACK VOTE will air on Tuesday, January 15 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

In the premiere special, BET News correspondent Jeff Johnson sits with Senator Obama in a revealing interview that provides a rare glimpse into the Illinois Senator's life, his family and his political aspirations as he embarks on an impressive quest to change the complexion of politics forever. Through this enlightening BET News special, viewers will hear Senator Obama's thoughts on topics ranging from the U.S. education system, the criminal justice system and immigration. It also explores what being "Black enough" really means, the African American electorate and even the Senator's personal thoughts on hip hop and what is playing on his iPod.

In the second special, Johnson sits down with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the woman who once stood before America in the East Wing and is now looking to lead America in the West Wing and become the first female Commander-in-Chief. Viewers will get a glimpse into Senator Clinton's thoughts on her rivals, her passions, and what sets her apart. Also, Senator Clinton's campaign ace has been husband Bill Clinton, and his presidency endeared them both to African Americans. Will her husband's influence and connection with the Black community be enough to earn her the Black vote and give her a win?

From the Specials:

When asked about the questions if he is "Black enough," Obama said, "As we've progressed over time, and people become more familiar with my track record, then they feel like this is the guy I'm going to vote for not because he's Black, but because he's got a track record and is working on racial profiling, and giving health care to kids, and dealing with wrongful convictions ... The other thing I've got to always say when people say, 'Are you Black enough?' is, 'Well, compared to whom?'"

Obama also expressed his taste in hip hop, both old school and new, as well as the challenges the genre faces. "The thing about hip hop today is it's smart, it's insightful, and the way that they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable ... I understand people want to be rooted in the community, they want to be down, but what I always say is that hip hop is not just a mirror of what is. It should also be a reflection of what can be."

These BET News specials are only one aspect of BET Networks' integrated, non-partisan national election coverage. BET News will be running a branded series of weekly and daily news briefs, and will have special coverage of the Democratic and Republican conventions. In addition, BET will air special public service announcements emphasizing the importance of voting and key election issues impacting its audiences, and will include election/issue updates on BET shows, such as 106 & PARK.

Online, BET.com is developing a special election microsite with features including blogs, polls, people on the street interviews and a link to a voter registration site. BET.com recently named Barack Obama its Person of the Year in the Politics category, and in his interview, this is what he had to say:

"I did not run for the presidency to fulfill some long-held ambition or because I believed it was somehow owed to me. I chose to run in this election -- at this moment -- because of what Dr. King called 'the fierce urgency of now.' Because we are at a defining moment in our history. Our time is now. I believe it's time for this generation to make its own mark -- to write our own chapter in the American story. After all, those who came before us did not strike a blow against injustice only so that we would allow injustice to fester in our time."

In the community, BET will hold a series of grassroots events to encourage local voter registration and awareness. BET Networks is partnering with a number of organizations, including Rock the Vote, the CBC Foundation, Urban League, Black Youth Vote, Urban Radio Network, National Coalition for Black Civic Participation, Hip Hop Action Network, Pan-Hell, Joint Center for Political Studies, NAACP and National Urban League on these community events.

The Obama and Clinton WHAT'S IN IT FOR US? specials are the first in a series of BET News specials that will explore how life in Black America would change if a particular candidate wins in 2008. Pamela Gentry of BET serves as executive producer of WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?. Tiffany Tate and Andre Showell are producers. Keith Brown is Vice President of News & Public Affairs, BET.

State Lawmakers Consider Real-Time Prescription Drug Monitoring Essential

LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirtualHealth Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VHGI) the parent company of VPS Holdings, LLC the creators of Veriscrip(TM), the Nation's first real-time system for tracking controlled substances announced today its support for recent initiatives in states like Wyoming and Florida that are realizing the need for upgrading their existing systems.

On December 26th, Congressman Colin Simpson, R-Cody announced his intention to look into the preparation of a Bill that would upgrade Wyoming's existing Prescription Drug Monitoring System to Real-time. The Wyoming Board of Pharmacy has a prescription drug monitoring program that began in 2004. There are 540,000 prescriptions collected each year and presently data is collected only once a month.

"In no way is it a real-time database when there is a 30-day lag," said Simpson, "Our first priority is to ensure people are legally using controlled substances." Updating the system each week would be an improvement, but several people said a real-time system is the best option. "From my perspective I'm pushing real-time," Park County Attorney Bryan Skoric said. "If not real-time now, then it will be real-time in five years and there will be 10 times the problem." "The more I think about it, the more real-time and electronic prescriptions would help," Dr. Michael Codiga added.

Earlier this month, state officials in Florida announced that they will launch a high-profile campaign for a statewide computer database to log every prescription for controlled substances. If the state Legislature rejects the idea as they have previously, database advocates said they will push to set up an experimental system in Broward and perhaps Palm Beach counties. A parallel initiative this year in Florida by the Legislature has been urging the use of e-prescribing by physicians. According to Bill Janes, Florida's Drug Czar, "In five to 10 years, this will be probably be a way that doctor shopping can be prevented, I can't wait five years. We need the database." This campaign was first announced at the National Conference on State Prescription Monitoring Programs in Washington, DC hosted by the National Alliance on Model State Drug Laws where Veriscrip(TM) participated.

Jim Renfro, President of VirtualHealth Technologies, Inc. stated that "The fact that these two state initiatives are supporting both real-time data and the use of e-prescribing as the basis for fighting prescription drug diversion only supports what we have said all along. In order to stop drug diversion and fraud you must have a real-time system in place that begins electronically tracking the prescriptions from their inception. That was our foundation in the development of our system originally and we believe it to be the benchmark that any effective prescription monitoring system will need to follow in the future."

While these statements reflect the Company's best current judgment, they are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from projected results due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to assumptions, beliefs and opinions relating to the business and growth strategy of VirtualHealth Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Verified Prescription Safeguards, Inc., VPS Holding, LLC, Envoii Healthcare, LLC, Medical Office Software, Inc. and implementation thereof, based upon the Company's interpretation and analysis of financial and market conditions, the decisions of businesses with whom the Company is either engaged in business with or negotiating, healthcare industry trends and management's ability to successfully finance, develop, market, sell and implement its e-commerce and internet solutions, clinical and financial e-transaction services and software applications to physicians, pharmacies, governmental agencies, laboratories, insurance companies, HMOs, and payers. These factors and other risk factors are more fully discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Smart products, systems, technologies and future concepts from Johnson Controls will be the focal point of the company's participation at the 2008 North American International Show (NAIAS) at Cobo Center in Detroit.

The event -- one of the world's premier automotive exhibitions -- opens to the media and invited guests on Sunday, January 13, 2008. It will be open to the public from Saturday, January 19 through Sunday, January 27, 2008.

This year marks the 14th consecutive year in which Johnson Controls will have a major NAIAS presence, serving as both an event sponsor and exhibitor. The company is a leading global supplier of automotive seating, interiors, electronics and batteries. A wide range of its current and future products and technologies will be showcased at the supplier's 9,000-square-foot exhibit in room D2-15 of Cobo Center. Johnson Controls also will convene two press conferences -- one on Sunday, January 13, 2008 and the other on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 -- and serve as the host sponsor of the AutoWeek Design Forum, which will be held on Wednesday, January 16, 2008.

At the first press conference -- scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on January 13, 2008 -- officials from Johnson Controls will unveil the company's latest innovations in seating; electronics; human-machine-interaction technology; interior safety and comfort; "earth-friendly" products; interior craftsmanship and advanced battery solutions. The second press conference -- to be held at 9:05 a.m. on January 15, 2008 -- will focus on the company's latest business and technology news relating to interior sourcing; advanced batteries for hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs); and systems targeting sustainability.

"In the global auto industry, demand for systems and products that reflect innovation, ingenuity and smart design has never been greater than it is today," said Jeff Williams, group vice president and general manager, North America for the Automotive Experience business of Johnson Controls. "With a commitment to 'Creating Smart Environments,' we acknowledge the importance of delivering products with features, functions and performance that are intelligently-crafted and well-integrated," he said. "The ultimate goal is to provide innovative products and technology to our customers that enrich the experience of automotive consumers."

Hamilton Sundstrand Expands its Green Energy Thrust

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Hamilton Sundstrand, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. , and US Renewables Group have agreed to commercialize the concentrated solar power tower technology and corresponding molten salt storage system developed by Rocketdyne through a new entity known as SolarReserve.

SolarReserve will hold the exclusive worldwide license to market and operate utility-scale Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) projects using molten salt technology and equipment developed and manufactured by HS Rocketdyne. This renewable technology will enable utility-scale solar power generation. It is designed to meet a utility's needs with a single installation capable of producing up to 500 MW of peak power.

United Technologies acquired Rocketdyne in 2005.

"US Renewables has invested in geothermal, biomass and other renewable generation, and has wanted to invest in solar, but we had not found the appropriate technology until we learned of HS Rocketdyne's tower technology with molten salt storage," said Lee Bailey, managing director of US Renewables Group (USRG). "Due to the unique ability of the product to store the energy it captures, this system will function like a conventional hydroelectric power plant, but with several advantages. We will have the capability to store the sun's energy and release it on demand. This product is more predictable than water reserves, the supply is free and inexhaustible, and the environmental impact is essentially zero."

HS Rocketdyne's CSP tower and molten salt storage system technology was originally demonstrated in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy at the Solar Two facility in Barstow, Calif. The unique component of the HS Rocketdyne power tower is the central receiver. This high heat flux hardware represents a unique combination of liquid rocket engine heat transfer technology and molten salt handling expertise. HS Rocketdyne is a world leader in liquid metal and molten salt heat transfer systems, and is the prime contractor for the International Space Station electric power system.

According to David P. Hess, president of Hamilton Sundstrand, "this is a perfect blend of world-class engineering, power project development expertise and the entrepreneurial business structure required to bring a proven capability to the marketplace. We're convinced that this renewable technology will make a positive impact for future generations, and we're confident the SolarReserve business structure will expedite our efforts to address this national priority."

Terry Murphy, former director of Advanced Power Systems at HS Rocketdyne, will serve as president and chief executive officer of SolarReserve. He will lead the commercialization effort to ensure a seamless integration of this technology into the commercial marketplace.

US Renewables Group, LLC (USRG) is a company organized to manage a series of private equity funds (including USRG Power & Biofuels Fund I, LP and USRG Power & Biofuels Fund II, LP) that acquire, develop and operate renewable energy and clean fuel assets. To date, the firm has approximately $575 million under management, and has invested in geothermal, biomass, landfill methane, ethanol, biodiesel and associated infrastructure. USRG has offices in Los Angeles and New York. For more information, visit http://www.usregroup.com/.

With 2006 revenues of $5 billion, Hamilton Sundstrand employs approximately 18,000 people worldwide and is headquartered in Windsor Locks, Conn.

It also is a major supplier for international space programs.

United Technologies Corp., of Hartford, Conn., provides a broad range of high-technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.

Raytheon Wins $232 Million Army Precision-guided Projectile Development Contract

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company , teamed with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, has been selected by the U.S. Army to develop the XM 1111 Mid-Range Munition for the Future Combat Systems' Mounted Combat System.

Valued at $232.3 million, the 63-month contract covers system design and development.

"This award establishes Raytheon as the leader in the development of affordable precision-guided projectiles," says Louise Francesconi, president of Raytheon Missile Systems. "We embrace our role as the primary provider of precision projectiles for the United States, and we look forward to working in partnership with the Army, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and our suppliers as we develop this revolutionary capability for the Army's current and future forces."

Mid-Range Munition incorporates proven technology using a dual-mode seeker suite comprising an imaging infrared sensor and a digital semi-active laser seeker. The dual-mode seeker was developed and successfully demonstrated during a two-year, Army-managed science and technology program.

In its proposal, Raytheon chose a multipurpose chemical energy warhead for the Mid-Range Munition. "For the beyond-line-of-sight mission, we believe that the chemical energy warhead, with proven lethality against the primary target of threat armor, is the best solution," said Rodger Elkins, director of advanced tactical weapons for Raytheon's Advanced Programs product line. "It provides better effects against the secondary targets of buildings, fortifications and light armor than a less versatile kinetic energy penetrator."

Raytheon's aggressive cost control initiatives provide the Army with a proven, low-risk, affordable product as it enters into the system design and development phase. Such innovative cost solutions are easily transferable to Raytheon's other precision-guided projectiles, such as the company's highly successful, combat-proven Excalibur 155 mm artillery projectile.

During the past 50 years, Raytheon has delivered more than 1.3 million precision-guided munitions, and General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems has been involved with the development and production of more than 3 million 120 mm tank cartridges. This vast development and production experience, coupled with the expertise gained in the development, production and fielding of Excalibur, ensures the Army will receive the world's best array of gun- fired, precision-guided weapons.

Work on the Mid-Range Munition will be performed at Raytheon facilities in Tucson, Ariz.

Raytheon Company, with 2006 sales of $19.7 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 72,000 people worldwide.

Note to Editors:

The XM 1111 Mid-Range Munition is a precision-guided, 120 mm, gun-fired smart ammunition that will provide a dual-mode, beyond-line-of-sight capability for Future Combat Systems' Mounted Combat System. Beyond-line-of- sight is an extension of the traditional direct-fire fight that enables stand- off engagements at greater ranges. With a beyond-line-of-sight capability, armored vehicle gunners can engage targets traditionally denied by intervening terrain or existing structures in an urban environment.

The initial contract award for this program was announced by the Department of Defense Dec. 21, 2007.
