Clarus Announces 2007 Results

STAMFORD, Conn., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Clarus Corporation today announced financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Clarus reported no revenues for the quarter and fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $202,000 or $0.01 per diluted share compared to net income of $16,000 or $0.00 per diluted share during the comparable period of 2006. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the increase in net loss was primarily due to higher non-cash stock option related expense and lower interest income from declining interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to the prior year quarter. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was $117,000 or $0.01 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or $0.08 per diluted share during the comparable period of 2006. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million in transaction expenses and higher interest income for the full year period from rising interest rates year over year, partially offset by non-cash stock option related expense.

As of December 31, 2007, Clarus' cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $87.1 million (or $5.01 gross cash per share) compared to $84.4 million as of December 31, 2006. Gross cash per share at December 31, 2007 equals cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $87.1 million divided by 17.4 million common shares outstanding. Clarus has provided this Non-GAAP measure because it believes that it is useful to investors assessing the extent of Clarus' assets available for redeployment. Clarus is unaware of any comparable GAAP measure.

Clarus estimates that it has available net operating loss, capital loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $223.1 million, $1.6 million, $1.3 million and $56,000, respectively, which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2008, after application of the limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Clarus, formerly a provider of e-commerce business solutions, is seeking to redeploy its assets and use its substantial cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value. Warren B. Kanders, Executive Chairman of Clarus, stated, "While we recognize that we are currently in a challenging credit market which has made for a more difficult acquisition environment, we believe our cash resources and public company structure provide us a meaningful advantage in pursuing an initial business combination. We are focused on pursuing an acquisition of an established market leader with strong free cash flow generation and minimum EBITDA of $25.0 million and will continue our efforts to redeploy the Company's assets as expeditiously as reasonably possible. In 2007, our weighted average interest yield was 4.95%. However, due to the decline in interest rates, we expect to incur a net loss in 2008."

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934. Information in this release includes Clarus' beliefs, expectations, intentions and strategies regarding Clarus, its future and its products and services. Assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks including our inability to execute successfully our planned effort to redeploy our assets to enhance stockholder value, the unavailability of our net operating loss carry forward, and that the unaudited financial information provided in this press release may be adjusted as a result of the year end audit. Clarus cannot guarantee its future performance. All forward-looking statements contained in this release are based on information available to Clarus as of the date of this release and Clarus assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained herein.

Key Industry Leaders Adopt McGraw-Hill Construction / Dodge Project Document Manager, Enabling Print to Digital Transformation of Construction Industry

NEW YORK, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw-Hill Construction (MHC), part of The McGraw-Hill Companies , today announced the recently launched Project Document Manager (PDM), co-developed with its partner ReproMAX, has been adopted by several key industry leaders, such as Skanska USA Building, Austin Commercial, and Hill International. PDM is the first service to provide full document control over the entire lifecycle of a project that is integrated with MHC's Project Network and Dodge project news, plans, and specs; interoperable with leading project management software; and seamlessly connected to ReproMAX and its national network of local on-demand printing and digital providers.

PDM will be highlighted at the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) annual national convention and ConExpo (MHC booth # N1200), on March 10-15, 2008, in Las Vegas, NV.

As a powerful software application, PDM provides the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) community with the ability to control all project intelligence, construction documents and project management functions on a single, secure platform. Users can manage the complete workflow process -- design, bidding, project management, project closing, and even operations -- from PDM's intuitive interface. With PDM, construction documents are available online and easily shared or routed to ReproMAX local printing outlets for printing and shipping. Whether a firm still relies on paper or has adopted a paperless process, PDM makes critical daily tasks easier to manage and control.

"Construction is a team-sport, and with Project Document Manager, it's going to be easier to share critical information with the members of that team," said Norbert W. Young, Jr., president, McGraw-Hill Construction. "Our AEC customers have told us that they could run their projects much more efficiently if they had a document management system that made it easier to manage, view, track and share the construction documents for a project from beginning to end. That's what we created and are very proud to be driving the transformation of the industry toward digital design and construction."

PDM's flexible "open architecture" makes it compatible with project management tools that AEC firms use today, enabling easy integration with current business processes and practices. Since fully digital and mixed digital/print environments are both supported, PDM offers the additional benefit of setting the stage for significant Green improvements across the industry.

"Project Document Manager provides immeasurable long term value to the AEC community -- enabling connectivity of business systems and interoperability throughout the project lifecycle," said Rick Bosworth, president, ReproMAX. "The level of business efficiency and flexibility associated with PDM's digital and print capabilities is unprecedented. No matter what the work environment, PDM will provide increased productivity and savings."

What some current PDM customers are saying:

When Skanska USA Building Inc., a leading international and local provider of construction, pre-construction consulting, general contracting and design- build services, wanted a solution easily accessible to subcontractors and capable of managing, tracking and reviewing subcontractors' qualifications responses, they turned to PDM. According to Kevin Hutchinson, senior vice president of IT at Skanska, "We wanted a solution that would simplify the entire bidding process, which as a result would encourage our subcontractors to bid on our projects. PDM provided us that solution. The new pre-qualification processes helped Skanska increase accuracy, reduce the number of pre-qualifications to review, created a single and central information repository, and increased the number of bidders per project."

Austin Commercial, a leading national and international commercial contractor, was in search of a document management solution that could seamlessly integrate into its existing project management system. The goal was to reduce the time, money and effort spent assembling and distributing construction related documents. "Austin Commercial has established a reputation for delivering projects on time and under budget. As an employee- owned company we are all responsible for increasing efficiency and lowering operating costs throughout our organization," said Fred Cardenas, project administrator.

Hill International, a leading global construction manager, needed integration of applications (interoperability). "We are always looking for ways to improve communication and collaboration in project management," said David L. Richter, president and COO of Hill International. "McGraw-Hill Construction's project information management solution will help us maximize project lifecycle communication and minimize our clients' risk." Shaun Pressley, project controls engineer, added, "Through the use of McGraw-Hill Construction's project database, combined with PDM and further integrated with our existing project management tools, we were able to integrate everything on a collaborative scale. The ROI is clear and helps us differentiate our services with owner relationships as well as mitigate potentially costly risks throughout a project."

Johnson Controls and Haworth Launch Global Survey to Understand Expectations of Next Working GenerationDesign, technology and location - what does Generation Y want from the workplace?

MILWAUKEE, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls, the global leader that brings ingenuity to the places where people live, work and travel, has launched a research project called OXYGENZ -- a global survey of Generation Y (18-25 year-olds) to understand their preferences for their future workplace. The survey was developed by the company's Global Workplace Solutions business in partnership with Haworth, a global leader in the design and manufacture of adaptable workspaces.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070930/AQSU001LOGO)

OXYGENZ will investigate how, where and when young people wish to work. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, this new knowledge will inform businesses about the workplace attributes essential in the recruitment and retention of young people. OXYGENZ is sponsored and supported by leading global corporations including the BBC, BP and Cisco, looking to understand young people's choices on a global scale.

At http://www.oxygenz.com/, students and young workers can participate in an ingenious, interactive online survey, building a profile of their ideal workplace which they can share with friends and other survey respondents around the world.

Johnson Controls has the largest global real estate and facilities management business and thus is interested in creating smart environments that redefine the relationships between people and their surroundings. Its Global WorkPlace Solutions offering provides a single-source for real estate portfolio management, design and project management, strategic consulting, energy and facilities management services. It currently manages over one billion square feet of corporate real estate for some of the world's leading companies.

Guy Holden, Vice President and General Manager of Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions, comments: "For the first time ever, four generations are working side by side. As the baby boomers of the 1950's start to retire, businesses are facing a fundamental shortfall in talent. Providing a stimulating working environment is going to be a key factor in the war for future talent. The OXYGENZ survey is one of the biggest research projects our innovation team has undertaken and it is also one of the most exciting.

The Pearson Foundation has also committed to bring its digital media curriculum to Roots & Shoots groups in five locations around the world. Roots & Shoots is JGI's environmental and humanitarian youth education program. By extending youth engagement beyond the summit itself, the Pearson Foundation is creating a global dialogue among young people regarding the critical issues facing our planet.

"Dr. Jane Goodall embodies the idea of global youth education, and Pearson shares her passion for inspiring young people around the world and for giving them unique learning opportunities," said Nieker. "By providing digital technology to the Institute's Roots & Shoots program and Jane Goodall's Global Youth Summit this April, Pearson Foundation supports the spirit of environmental and humanitarian learning with a world leader in this field."

"In the Internet age, technology is critical to advocacy, which is why we are so excited about our partnership with the Pearson Foundation," said Goodall. "Like the Pearson Foundation, we support the use of digital arts for youthful self-expression. Working together, we hope to empower young people around the world to address the issues facing their communities and, ultimately, create the next generation of leaders."

Acceleware pénètre le marché de l'imagerie grâce au lancement de la solution de reconstruction d'image AxRecon(TM)

Congrès européen de radiologie, VIENNE, March 7 /PRNewswire/ --

- AxRecon mise sur la capacité de traitement des GPU pour accélérer les flux de production de la tomodensitométrie

Acceleware Corp. (TSX-V : AXE), important développeur de solutions d'accélération destinées au calcul haute performance, a annoncé aujourd'hui le lancement de sa solution de reconstruction d'image AxRecon, destinée aux marchés de l'imagerie médicale, de la sécurité et des essais non destructifs. La reconstruction d'image à l'aide de la tomodensitométrie nécessite souvent de longues heures de traitement et constitue un obstacle considérable à l'efficacité de plusieurs organisations. La solution d'Acceleware diminue le temps nécessaire à la complétion de cette tâche à quelques minutes au lieu de quelques heures afin d'accélérer le flux de production de l'imagerie. La solution AxRecon sera en démonstration au stand 435 du Congrès européen de radiologie (European Congress of Radiology, ECR), qui se tiendra cette semaine à Vienne, en Autriche.

<< Notre entrée sur le marché de l'imagerie médicale et commerciale représente une importante occasion de croissance pour Acceleware, en plus d'Ãªtre conforme à sa stratégie de croissance à long terme, qui consiste à nous attaquer à de nouveaux marchés >>, a affirmé Sean Krakiwsky, PDG d'Acceleware. << Les avantages d'un débit et d'une qualité d'image supérieurs dont profitent déjà les premiers utilisateurs de la solution AxRecon(TM) nous aideront à promouvoir l'adoption de ce produit dans l'ensemble du marché de l'imagerie. >> Le long temps de traitement nécessaire à la reconstruction d'image à l'aide de la tomodensitométrie restreint le débit et la qualité dont pourraient jouir les sociétés, les cliniciens et les chercheurs. Afin de répondre aux exigences de leur charge de travail, ces utilisateurs sacrifient souvent la qualité de l'image pour minimiser le temps de traitement. La solution AxRecon utilise la tomodensitométrie à faisceau conique existante pour éliminer la congestion en accélérant considérablement les calculs de rétroprojection filtrée. Cela permet aux utilisateurs de l'imagerie médicale et commerciale d'accélérer la reconstruction de leurs données et d'améliorer la qualité de leur image sans perturber leur débit actuel.

La solution AxRecon associe les bibliothèques exclusives d'accélération de logiciel d'Acceleware à la capacité de traitement parallèle très importante des unités de traitement graphique (GPU) de NVIDIA(R) afin d'augmenter considérablement la vitesse des calculs avancés. La solution AxRecon s'intègre parfaitement aux tomodensitomètres existants et nécessite très peu de configuration. En accélérant les algorithmes tels que la reconstruction d'image par rétroprojection filtrée, les utilisateurs sont en mesure d'accélérer leurs opérations et la qualité de leurs résultats finaux tout en diminuant l'utilisation d'énergie et l'empreinte physique de leurs systèmes informatiques haute performance. << Dans les applications micro-informatiques de tomodensitométrie biomédicale, les dimensions du volume de nos reconstructions ont considérablement augmenté au cours des dernières années >>, a affirmé David Holdsworth de Robarts Imaging. << Pendant la mÃªme période, les temps de numérisation ont également été réduits ; c'est pour cette raison que le temps de reconstruction à l'aide de la tomodensitométrie à faisceau conique est devenu le facteur de congestion qui, dans certaines situations, restreint le débit. La reconstruction fondée par GPU est une solution économique pour cette tache, et nous avons établi que la solution AxRecon d'Acceleware peut fournir des reconstructions en 3D jusqu'à 50 fois plus rapidement qu'une unité centrale simple. >>

Veuillez visiter Acceleware au stand 435 du Congrès ECR, qui se tiendra cette semaine à Vienne, en Autriche. Pour de plus amples renseignements sur la solution AxRecon, y compris les études de cas auprès des utilisateurs et les documents de présentation technique, veuillez consulter le http://www.acceleware.com/solutions/imaging/imagingintegrator.cfm.

Ã€ propos d'Acceleware

Acceleware met au point et commercialise des solutions qui permettent aux fournisseurs de logiciels de miser sur des configurations matérielles hétérogènes à mémoires multiples sans devoir reconfigurer leurs applications pour le traitement parallèle. Cette technologie de répartition de l'accélération permet aux utilisateurs finaux d'effectuer des calculs beaucoup plus rapidement et de convertir les applications des fournisseurs en passant du traitement à mémoire simple aux unités centrales, aux unités de traitement graphique ou à d'autres produits d'accélération à mémoires multiples.

Les solutions d'Acceleware sont déployées par des sociétés de partout dans le monde dans le but d'accélérer les applications de simulation par ordinateur et de traitement des données dans des domaines tels que l'électromagnétique, l'industrie pétrolière et gazière, l'imagerie médicale et de sécurité, la conception de produits industriels et de produits de consommation, ainsi que la recherche financière et académique.

Les solutions GPU à plates-formes multiples de troisième génération d'Acceleware peuvent accélérer par plus de 35 fois la simulation et le traitement des algorithmes, ce qui permet de traiter les données en quelques minutes plutôt qu'en quelques heures. Acceleware est une société ouverte inscrite à la cote de la bourse de croissance TSX du Canada sous le symbole AXE.

La TSX Venture Exchange Inc. n'accepte aucune responsabilité en ce qui a trait à la véracité ou à l'exactitude du présent communiqué.

Starwood Research Initiates Coverage on Riptide Worldwide Inc. (OTC BB: RTWW)

LOS ANGELES, March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Starwood Research announced today that it has initiated active coverage of Riptide Worldwide Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RTWW), an emerging consolidator in the fast-growing business process management software industry.

In a Starwood Research Analyst Note, Andrew White, CFA writes that RTWW represents "compelling upside potential" in light of CEO Frank Wilde's ambitious efforts to bolt profitable technology providers onto his company's established enterprise software solutions business. However White notes that while M&A has already substantially enlarged Riptide's operational profile, investors have yet to catch up to the story, leaving shares substantially undervalued by peer standards.

Key value drivers: -- RTWW is operating in a segment of the computer services market that offers both solid organic growth prospects and stable recurring revenue streams. The company has proven to be a nimble competitor versus giants in its field, winning a blue-chip list of long-term enterprise clients in both government and commercial markets. -- With close to 40 deals under his belt (including three for RTWW in 2007), Mr. Wilde has already demonstrated his flair for M&A. He continues to pursue further consolidation opportunities (perhaps at the rate of one acquisition per quarter) with the goal of building a $100 million operation by the end of 2008. He stresses that this is not growth for its own sake, but a strategic campaign to add both profitable businesses and expertise to the existing corporate base. -- While RTWW is already breaking even on an EBITDA basis (and expected to break out into outright profitability in early 2009), Mr. White notes that the stock remains relatively undiscovered by investors, leaving shares trading at a steep 70% discount compared to other small-cap technology providers on a price-per-sales basis.

The full analyst note on RTWW, along with an audio interview with Mr. Wilde, can be found at http://www.starwoodresearch.com/ceointerviews.

Starwood Research Institute provides research on stocks that have exponential growth and explosive profit potential. Our focus is on high-risk, highly speculative emerging growth stocks that offer upside profit potential of 500% to 1,000% or more. Starwood's Analyst Notes and CEO interviews (available free at: http://www.starwoodresearch.com/) are unique because they are conducted by highly experienced investment analysts, who have all earned the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) designation, the highest standard in ethics and professional excellence in the investment community. Full compensation/conflicts of interest disclosure is online at http://www.starwoodresearch.com/

VIDEO from Medialink and Siemens: Spaceship Earth Re-Launches into the Future at Epcot

NEW YORK, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Spaceship Earth has relaunched and reopened at Epcot, where the icon was rededicated Tuesday, March 4, 2008. While it looks much like it did on the outside when Epcot opened in 1982, the inside has undergone dramatic changes since summer 2007, including an innovative 'interactive' attraction with many new scenes, new costumes and set decorations, new lighting and special effects, a new musical score and narration, and a totally re-themed interactive post-show.

(See video from Siemens at: http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=34734 )

On a trip through time inside the Spaceship Earth attraction, now sponsored by Siemens, guests discover how each generation of mankind has invented the future for the next generation, and how the spirit of innovation has moved people from caves to the cosmos. During the journey, new scenes depict: a family in the late 1960s viewing the moon landing on television; a massive, two-story computer room of the late 1960s with reel-to-reel- computers; a garage of the early 1970s where the 'personal computer' is born; and a 'tech tunnel' in which guests become part of a digital data stream.

The new narration is delivered by English actress Dame Judi Dench, who earned an Oscar as best supporting actress in 1999 for her role in the motion picture 'Shakespeare in Love.' While Dench delivers the ride vehicle narration in English, guests can also choose five other languages for their vehicle, a Disney 'first' -- French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.

The new musical score was composed by Bruce Broughton, who has won a record 10 Emmy Awards and has been nominated for an Oscar and a Grammy during a career writing in every medium - from theatrical releases and TV feature films to the concert stage and computer games. A 62-piece orchestra and 24- voice choir brings his latest composition to life.

NEW YORK, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative changes, enhancements and additions to the popular Thinkfinity.org Web site were unveiled Friday (March 7) at WNET's Teaching & Learning Celebration here.

Thinkfinity.org is the Verizon Foundation's free, comprehensive program and online portal to 55,000 educational and literacy resources for teachers, parents and students. Resources include standards-based, grade-specific, K-12 lesson plans and engaging interactive activities provided in partnership with many of the nation's leading education and literacy organizations.

Improvements to Thinkfinity.org announced by the Verizon Foundation and its partners include:

-- The addition of 500 new resources. -- Individual portals to allow users to search for resources targeted to educators, students, parents or after-school programs. -- A dynamic new look. -- A simple, more comprehensive search engine. -- Ability to search for resources tailored to individual state standards.

Also on Friday, the Verizon Foundation presented a $160,000 grant to the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) to train teachers throughout the state to make the most of the free resources on Thinkfinity.org. The institute will conduct the training through its partnership with New York State Teacher Centers.

"This generous grant will facilitate NYIT's efforts through our Center for Technology Based Learning Systems to bring Thinkfinity's terrific resources to teachers in every school district throughout the state," said Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., president of NYIT. "We are proud of our ongoing partnership with the Verizon Foundation and the New York State Teacher Centers on this innovative and unquestionably valuable project."

Since the launch of Thinkfinity.org in March 2007, the Verizon Foundation has committed more than $32 million nationally to update and expand Thinkfinity.org and provide training to teachers.

"Thinkfinity.org has been a tremendous resource for me, providing easy access to a wide range of lesson plans and activities to spark the imagination," said Ira Faber, a teacher at Middle School 226, District 27, in New York City. "The new enhancements, particularly the decision to align to individual state standards, will make Thinkfinity.org even more valuable to teachers."

In addition to offering free access to thousands of educational resources, Thinkfinity.org also offers a comprehensive professional development program that allows teachers to sign up for free online or face-to-face training to learn how to best make use of the Thinkfinity.org tools.

"The improvements announced today will allow the wonderful resources of Thinkfinity.org to reach an even larger audience of parents, teachers and students," said Verizon Foundation President Patrick Gaston. "Whether it's a history teacher looking for resources to bring the past to life, or a parent seeking an educational activity to stimulate the mind of his or her young child, Thinkfinity.org will help them quickly and easily find the information needed to improve student achievement."

Content for Thinkfinity.org is provided through a partnership between the Verizon Foundation and 11 of the nation's leading organizations in the fields of education and literacy: the American Association for the Advancement of Science, International Reading Association, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, National Center for Family Literacy, National Council on Economic Education, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Council of Teachers of English, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, National Geographic Society, ProLiteracy Worldwide and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

The Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, supports the advancement of literacy and K-12 education through its signature program, Thinkfinity.org, and fosters awareness and prevention of domestic violence. In 2007, the foundation awarded more than $67.4 million in grants to nonprofit agencies in the United States and abroad. The foundation also matched the charitable donations of Verizon employees and retirees, resulting in $25.1 million in combined contributions. Through Verizon Volunteers, one of the nation's largest employee volunteer programs, Verizon employees and retirees have volunteered more than 3 million hours of community service since Verizon's inception in 2000.

With the order, Harris has now been selected by all branches of the U.S. military to provide high-performance radio systems for MRAP vehicles.

"We continue to gain market share in our tactical radio business and are expanding into new addressable markets," said Dana Mehnert, president, Harris RF Communications. "The U.S. and international opportunities pipeline for secure, networked, software-defined tactical communications remains large and robust, and we now expect to finish fiscal year 2008 with orders significantly greater than sales."

Harris is providing Falcon II(R) AN/VRC-103 multiband and Falcon II(R) AN/VRC-104(C) high-frequency vehicular radios for use in Air Force MRAPs, which are designed to mitigate the effects of blasts through uniquely designed V-shaped hulls and raised chassis.

In addition, via a separate procurement, the Air Force is installing Falcon III(R) AN/VRC-110 high-performance, multiband vehicular radio systems into MRAP vehicles. Each AN/VRC-110 comes with two JTRS-approved Falcon III AN/PRC-152(C) multiband, multimission handheld radios, which provide features such as SINCGARS capability, ultra-high frequency (UHF) ground-to-ground line- of-sight communications, close-air support, tactical satellite communications and programmable encryption. The Falcon III AN/VRC-110 system provides a "grab-and-go" feature through the AN/PRC-152(C) handheld transceiver that delivers continuous communications when removed from the vehicle, an important capability in urban environments.

"These Harris Falcon II and Falcon III radios will provide the Air Force with a complete radio communication system for beyond-line-of-sight as well as ground-to-air and ground-to-ground, on-the-move communications," said George Helm, vice president and general manager, U.S. Government Products, Harris RF Communications. "Harris is proud to have been selected by the Air Force as the supplier for this very important program. Through our participation in the MRAP program, we are providing enhanced mobile communications capabilities that will enable tactical units across the Department of Defense to operate more effectively."

Harris RF Communications Division is a leading supplier of secure voice and data communications products, systems, and networks to military, government, and commercial organizations worldwide.

WEGENER to Address Building File-Based Networks at 2008 National Religious Broadcasters Show

DULUTH, Ga., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wegener Corporation , a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced that Kamy Merithew and Gary Pelkey, both Vice Presidents of WEGENER, will deliver a seminar entitled, "Radio Broadcasters: Building File-Based Networks" at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention, taking place March 8-11, 2008 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, in Nashville, TN.

The presentation will be one of over 70 seminars to be held during the NRB show. An annual event, NRB attracts over 6,000 attendees from around the world who gather to learn how to use media technology more efficiently to support their broadcast ministries.

The presentation, which is scheduled for Monday, March 10 from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., as part of the Broadcast Essential Educational sessions will consist of presentations by Kamy Merithew and Gary Pelkey, followed by a Question/Answer session. Merithew and Pelkey will cover the challenges for national radio broadcasters and how they can best provide programming to multiple locations while keeping the content as localized as possible.

Merithew and Pelkey will also explain how an intelligent file-based solution is an efficient way to insert local ads, station identifiers, local traffic, and weather, compared to integrating multiple devices at each affiliate station. WEGENER's file-based solution-which combines network control, content management, and media server technology-uses addressable devices to receive live broadcasts, store regionalized content, and combine them to create customized broadcasts.

"We hope to demonstrate to convention attendees how to use intelligent, centralized, file-based solutions in radio and television networks to create additional programming opportunities, reduce expenses, and simplify operations," said Merithew.

"File-based broadcasting enables them to support multiple time zones and create regional and local stations from the broadcast operations center through the use of custom program inserts and low-cost multicasting," Merithew added.

As part of their presentation, Merithew and Pelkey will address: how one- time distribution of repetitive material to addressable media servers can be used to enhance national live programming; how to maintain content quality through the process and how to use IP and satellite to distribute programming.

NEW YORK, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS RADIO and AOL today announced a ground breaking partnership whereby CBS RADIO will power AOL Radio (http://radio.aol.com/), combining two of the largest online radio networks and giving millions of listeners unlimited and free access to the most diverse lineup of programming available. Additionally, the two companies will work together to create a number of product enhancements including a new player, as well as complete support for the Mac.

Once AOL Radio's stations are integrated into its operations, CBS RADIO will drive advertising sales for AOL's more than 200 award winning stations in addition to its own online streams of more than 150 radio stations and custom channels.

A brand new state of the art player developed by CBS RADIO and incorporating all of the favorite features AOL listeners are accustomed to, and more, will be launched this spring. The completely updated interface will include all of the stations currently programmed by AOL and a wide range of top-rated local sports, talk, news and music stations, including CBS RADIO's WFAN-AM and 1010 WINS in New York, KLSX and KROQ in Los Angeles, WXRT in Chicago, WVEE in Atlanta, as well as a litany of customized stations created exclusively by CBS RADIO for the Internet. Additional stations programmed by CBS RADIO and AOL will be launched throughout the partnership.

The new player will allow audiences to toggle between stations; view song titles, album information and link to websites featuring the current artist being streamed; access favorite stations via presets, rate and share songs with family, friends, and coworkers; purchase individual songs, albums and concert tickets; and link to a host of additional web content, including photos, videos, promotions, contests, news headlines, sports scores, trivia, and concert information, among other topics.

"CBS RADIO continues to invest in high-growth areas including internet streaming," said Dan Mason, President and CEO, CBS RADIO. "We have been very clear about our goals in this area and teaming with AOL is a tremendous step forward in that regard. Couple that with years of progress building out our own streaming operations, and CBS RADIO is instantly positioned as the leader in the online radio space. A combined CBS RADIO/AOL Radio affords us vastly greater scale, as well as massive distribution for our brands. We look forward to all that we will now be able to offer our audiences and advertisers alike."

"This partnership with CBS RADIO reconfirms our commitment to the expanding online radio audience and provides significantly more programming choices for our listeners," said Kevin Conroy, executive vice president of AOL.
