Devcon International Corp. Reports Full Year 2007 Financial Results

BOCA RATON, Fla., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Devcon International Corp. today announced its full year financial results for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Revenues from continuing operations for the full year ended December 31, 2007 increased $1.8 million to $55.8 million, compared to revenues of $54.0 million for the period ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenue was due primarily to 2007 revenue including a full twelve months of revenue for the Guardian acquisition compared to ten months of revenue for 2006 as Guardian was acquired on March 6, 2006. This increase was partially offset by six months of revenue amounting to $1.2 million included in 2006 from the wholesale business, which was sold in 2006.

Net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $(17.3) million or $(2.81) per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $(23.7) million, or ($3.94) per fully diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006. The 2007 results include depreciation and amortization of $17.7 million compared to $18.1 million in 2006. The decrease in net loss resulted primarily from a $10.8 million reduction in interest expense.

The Company reported a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $(6.4) million for the full year 2007, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of, $(5.7) million for the comparable period last year. The increase in loss can be attributed to the winding down of our Construction Division, which was sold in March, 2007 and an increase in losses from our Materials operations on the Island of Sint Maartin/St. Martin.

The Company reported a net loss available for common shareholders for the full year ended December 31, 2007 of $(29.4) million, or $(4.77) per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(30.4) million, or ($5.05) per fully diluted share for the full year ended December 31, 2006.

Robert C. Farenhem, the Company's President, stated, "We made significant progress integrating our electronic security operations during the fourth quarter. With the sale of our materials operations in the French Antilles in January 2008, we have settled on-going litigation and are closer to completing the transformation of Devcon to -."

RT Logic Awarded Combat Survivor/Evader Locator (CSEL) Modulator/Receiver Processor (CMRP) by Boeing

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RT Logic, a recognized leader in satellite data link processing, today announced a contract award by The Boeing Company's Command, Control and Communications (C3) Networks Division in support of the Combat Survivor/Evader Locator (CSEL) Modulator/Receiver Processor (CMRP) project.

Boeing C3 Networks of Huntington Beach, California, is the prime contractor working the CSEL effort for the U.S. Air Force. Under the CSEL CMRP effort, RT Logic will deliver their Telemetrix 400XR (T400XR) Modulator/Receiver system as part of the CSEL Terrestrial Training System (CTTS). Boeing's CSEL system allows rescue forces to communicate with downed airmen anywhere in the world via over-the-horizon communications satellites. RT Logic received the CSEL CMRP order in November 2007, with the delivery of five, T400XR-based CMRPs planned for late summer of 2008. Each CMRP will have one modulator/demodulator stream per unit and operate within the UHF band for RF signal input and output.

The T400XR is RT Logic's premier narrowband, receiver and modulator product. It employs digital receiver and modulator technology to meet multi- mission narrowband requirements. The T400XR has a configurable software- defined receiver/modulator, and supports most of the popular demodulation and modulation schemes such as BPSK, QPSK, SQPSK, UQPSK, SOQPSK, and SQPN (spread spectrum) signals. Data rates ranging to 50 Mbps are supported under certain demodulation schemes. Demodulation processing is supplemented by bit synchronization, a variety of forward error correction (FEC) methods, and PCM code conversion. The modulation capability of the T400XR enables PCM simulation, command processing, Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT), or ranging as required. The T400XR can be configured to operate at an intermediate frequency (70 MHz), or have modular frequency converters integrated into the T400XR's Compact PCI (cPCI) enclosure, thus allowing operation on UHF, L, S, X, C, and Ku bands.

"Our excellent working relationship with Boeing engineers on several previous DoD satellite programs has established RT Logic as a trusted satellite ground systems provider," said Bill Asiano, RT Logic's CMRP Program Manager, "The CSEL CMRP is a very important project to RT Logic because it allows us to adapt our products for adjacent markets using our flexible, low risk, and cost effective commercial product architectures."

ATLANTA, March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southern Company Chairman, CEO and President David Ratcliffe today announced that J. Barnie Beasley, chairman, CEO and president of Southern Nuclear Operating Company, will retire effective Sept. 1, after 39 years of service with the company.

Stafford, Connecticut and Monson, Massachusetts Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

STAFFORD, Conn., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for Connecticut and Massachusetts residents, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along Route 32 in northern Stafford, Connecticut and southern Monson, Massachusetts.

Verizon Wireless has invested nearly $44 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone.

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high- speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the fourth quarter of 2007 as the company added two million net new customers and, for the thirteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high- population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 65.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

EMC Introduces High Performance Connectrix DCX Backbone for Data Center FabricsIndustry's First 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel Director Combines Highest Levels of Bandwidth and Scalability; Ideal for Virtualized Infrastructures

HOPKINTON, Mass., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today introduced the EMC(R) Connectrix(R) ED-DCX-B, the industry's first 8 Gb/s (gigabit-per-second) Fibre Channel director. With 8 Gb/s line rates -- double that of existing directors -- and four times the aggregate bandwidth, the newest member of the Connectrix family enables large-scale consolidation of virtual and physical servers and storage pools, multi-protocol integration, and simplified management that can dramatically reduce operational and capital costs.

Based on OEM technology from Brocade, the Connectrix ED-DCX-B combines unprecedented scalability and bandwidth with leading innovations in power, energy efficiency and port density. The Brocade DCX is a new class of network infrastructure and serves as the core platform for Data Center Fabric (DCF) architectures. The DCF architecture encompasses multiple storage protocols between applications and storage, connects virtual server and storage pools, supports networking over extended distances, and provides mainframe connectivity. The DCX will be a platform for future networking capabilities, providing 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel services at the core of the data center as well as additional specialized fabric and data center application services.

The Connectrix ED-DCX-B is designed to provide the highest levels of scalability and performance with low energy consumption. With 6.5 Tb/s (terabits-per-second) of total bandwidth, it can be configured to support 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel to connect hundreds of applications, consolidate large scale VMware environments, and serve as the core backbone of enterprise storage area networks (SANs). The Connectrix ED-DCX-B also provides integrated multi-protocol support, enabling further consolidation over extended distances and in heterogeneous server environments.

The Connectrix ED-DCX-B offers multiple blade options for server-to- storage connectivity. The 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel blades are available in 16, 32, and 48 ports for a maximum configuration of up to 384 ports in a single domain. In addition, new inter-chassis links (ICLs) can be configured to connect two Connectrix ED-DCX-B chassis together, while preserving front-end ports. These connections utilize copper cables to link the director's core blades without combining domains.

"The EMC Connectrix family of switches and directors provides customers with extensive choices, proven interoperability, centralized management and the industry's best customer service," said Barbara Robidoux, EMC Vice President, Storage Product Marketing. "The new Connectrix ED-DCX-B backbone is ideal for enterprise customers looking for the highest levels of performance, availability and reliability. It's a platform that is designed to meet current needs and be easily expanded to meet future SAN requirements."

In addition to higher levels of performance and scalability, the Connectrix ED-DCX-B delivers several major new features to improve consolidation, fabric management, and security. These features include Adaptive Networking Services for optimized fabric behavior and ensuring ample bandwidth for mission critical applications, native interoperability with Connectrix M-series switches and directors, and Admin Domains to segregate and limit access to shared fabric resources.

The EMC Connectrix family offers the industry's most extensive selection of networked storage connectivity products, ranging from highly available enterprise-class directors to edge switches and management tools. All Connectrix systems concurrently support multiple hosts and operating systems, enabling multiple servers to connect to multiple storage systems from EMC as well as other vendors. This flexible family of platforms helps facilitate the consolidation of information onto fewer storage systems for improved management, protection and availability.

The MOU includes the branding, marketing and sale of Azure's Low Emission Electric Power ("LEEP") systems within the electric utility and telecom markets.

"Our agreement is an important step in moving Azure's LEEP system into yet another major market," said Scott Harrison, Azure's Chief Executive Officer.

Illinois Radiologists Self-Edit Reports, Reduce Turnaround Time with SpeechQ for Radiology(TM)

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Provena Mercy Medical Center, a 356-bed community-based hospital in Aurora, Illinois, has achieved new levels of efficiency and physician satisfaction using SpeechQ for Radiology(TM), the award-winning front-end interactive speech recognition solution from MedQuist (Pink Sheets: MEDQ). Radiologists in Provena Mercy's Imaging department are self-editing 90 percent of their reports, and report turnaround time (TAT) has been reduced by more than half since the implementation of SpeechQ.

The Imaging department at Provena Mercy performed more than 80,000 exams in 2007. In the past, all reports were dictated and then outsourced to a transcription company. Once transcribed, these reports were then returned to the appropriate radiologist for review and signature. With SpeechQ, average report turnaround time has been reduced from 61/2 hours to 3 hours, and TAT for STAT and ED reports is now five minutes.

Dr. James Studlo, medical director of Imaging Services and chief of the medical staff at Provena Mercy, comments, "When using a traditional dictation system, I often had to rewind and listen to what I had said to confirm that my conclusion was complete. With SpeechQ, it is much easier and faster for me to read what I have dictated and to sign off on a report while the images are displayed." The ED physicians and medical staff at Provena Mercy also appreciate receiving a typed, legible final report within minutes after their patients have had an imaging procedure.

David Angel, administrative director of Medical Imaging and Laboratory Services, adds, "Our success is measured by providing high-quality diagnostic reports to our referring physicians and their patients in a cost-effective and timely manner. Many of the hospital's medical staff have commented on the improved reporting from the Radiology department, and both the imaging staff and the radiologists have noticed a decrease in the amount of phone calls from physicians' offices requesting reports."

Powered by the Philips SpeechMagic(TM) speech engine, SpeechQ for Radiology integrates with most radiology-specific information systems and PACS, and was rated number one for front-end speech recognition by its customers in the KLAS 2006 and 2007 Enterprise Speech Recognition Reports.

"The most important results of this front-end speech recognition solution are being recognized by the patients and their physicians," says Scott Bennett, MedQuist senior vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Because Provena Mercy is using a technology that allows the radiologists to quickly create their diagnostic reports and put them in the hands of a patient's physician, the patient is treated faster, and that treatment is based on a complete and final diagnostic report."

SGI Altix ICE Momentum Thunders on with Powerful new Blade Enclosures and OptionsDriven by Latest Intel Xeon Chip Set, Altix ICE Now Offers More Configuration Options and Improved Cluster Management

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SGI today announced a range of enhancements to its SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE integrated blade platform. With new blade enclosures and blade options available today, Altix ICE delivers even greater performance and flexibility in a system purpose-built to meet the needs of high-performance computing (HPC) users.

SGI Altix ICE is the industry's first blade system to support the latest Intel(R) 5400 Chipset (codenamed "Seaburg") with Dual- and Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors. The newly available blade options increase the performance density of the Altix ICE platform by including improvements to memory, bandwidth and interconnect performance, and an enhanced cluster management environment. The new enclosures also make use of high-performance, next- generation InfiniBand processor technology.

"Today's announcement shows that SGI Altix ICE is rapidly maturing as a platform for HPC," said Bill Mannel, senior director, SGI server marketing. "These latest enhancements to Altix ICE allow organizations to deploy solutions that are flexible enough to adapt to their workflows and budgets while maximizing performance and productivity. And with the Altix ICE platform enabling even large-scale systems to get up and running quickly, SGI can deliver those advantages faster so customers can realize a return on their investments sooner."

More Flexibility with New SGI Altix ICE Blade Enclosures

To the existing SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE 8200 platform, SGI is adding two new blade enclosures. The new options give customers the flexibility to optimize for the greatest bandwidth performance or, for more budget-conscious, an enclosure configured for optimal price/performance.

-- Performance Option. This new option features dual-plane InfiniBand networks for reduced network traffic congestion and improved bandwidth. MPIs (message passing interfaces) with dual-rail capability will take advantage of the architectural design by enabling faster and more efficient transfer of large and small messages. Customers can choose between Hypercube (which is best for larger node count MPI jobs) or non-blocking Fat Tree network topology (suited for smaller node count MPI jobs). -- Price/Performance Option. Balancing bandwidth with budgetary constraints, this new option utilizes a single-plane InfiniBand network, along with the choice of a Hypercube or Fat Tree network topology.

Both options include a separate Gigabit Ethernet network for administrative communications, further maximizing the amount of bandwidth available to data and I/O traffic.

The new blade enclosures also take advantage of the SGI Altix ICE platform's cool-running, energy-smart design. In fact, eight Altix ICE installations rank among the top 10 percent of the world's 500 most energy- efficient supercomputers, according to the February Green 500 list.(1)

Greater Control, Flexibility and Reliability with Enhanced Environment

In addition, SGI Altix ICE blades can now take advantage of powerful networking features available through SGI ProPack for Linux(R) Operating System. Altix ICE customers can use ProPack to exert granular control over throughput and I/O performance. For instance, depending on the needs of a specific application or workflow, users can aggregate a system's InfiniBand bandwidth or separate I/O traffic from data traffic.

SGI also has enhanced the SGI Tempo cluster management tool. Through an innovative Hierarchical Management Framework, Tempo allows IT administrators to manage a nested series of networks that can utilize large deployments in a highly distributed fashion. Restricting traffic within the rack, or even within the blades themselves, keeps extraneous traffic off the network.

With Tempo's diskless boot function, customers also can simultaneously boot all blades, enabling one or multiple racks to boot in less than five minutes. Individual nodes can also independently be powered up and down within a cluster, enabling administrators to save on energy costs by powering down nodes that aren't in use. Tempo supports environments serving tens to hundreds of users and thousands of nodes and incorporating multiple applications and operating systems. Through it all, administrators can manage the entire environment as a single system.

Beginning this summer, SGI Altix ICE systems will provide new levels of reliability by incorporating failover capabilities via the next release of SGI ProPack. With this new feature, applications supported by the SGI Message Passing Toolkit (MPT) will remain operable even as cables within an Altix ICE enclosure are pulled. SGI Tempo will also introduce features supporting higher availability, including the ability to hot swap and automatically reprovision Altix ICE blades, the ability to create cold spares for admin nodes, and more options for compute node root file system configurations to improve recovery times.

Growing Number of High-Profile Deployments

Since launching the Altix ICE platform last year, SGI has been deploying systems in some of the world's most demanding environments. Among them:

-- The State of New Mexico's Encanto, a 14,336-core SGI Altix ICE system with 28 Terabytes (TB) of memory and ranked as the third most powerful supercomputer in the world, was up and running 48 hours after it arrived at the Intel Corporation facility in Rio Rancho, N.M. -- SGI is deploying a 25,000-core supercomputing system at two sites for the North German Alliance for the Advancement of High-Performance Computing (HLRN). The computing complex, which will incorporate SGI Altix ICE blades, will increase HLRN's current HPC resource by 60 times. -- The Honda Racing F1 Team, based in Brackley, UK, purchased an SGI Altix ICE system to drive computational fluid dynamics applications enabling aerodynamics studies in preparation for the 2008 Formula One season.

"With Altix ICE, the number of complete vehicle CFD models we'll be able to process could increase by a factor of five, which is key in adding performance to the car," said Henrik Diamant, head of CFD, Honda Racing F1 Team. "If we can increase our weekly throughput of parts analyzed, then we can find those fractions of a second that could ultimately give us an edge against the competition."

All Altix ICE blade enclosure options are available today. For more information on SGI Altix ICE, visit: http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/altix/ice/

Microsoft Reaches Virtualization Milestone With Release Candidate of Hyper-VFeature-complete version of Windows Server 2008 virtualization technology made broadly available to customers and partners.

REDMOND, Wash., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Reaching the next major milestone in virtualization development, Microsoft Corp. today made broadly available a feature-complete release candidate of Microsoft Hyper-V, the hypervisor-based virtualization software available with various versions of Windows Server 2008. A beta of Hyper-V was included with Windows Server 2008 when it launched last month, and this release candidate provides updated, near-final code.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

Hyper-V provides customers with efficient and cost-effective virtualization infrastructure software. It enables customers to reduce operating costs by increasing hardware utilization, optimizing infrastructure and improving server availability. Customers and partners can download the release candidate at http://www.microsoft.com/Hyper-V by 10 a.m. PDT today.

"As customers begin deploying Windows Server 2008, we want to ensure they have the tools to optimize their IT infrastructure. Hyper-V will help customers consolidate IT systems and allow their businesses to respond more rapidly to ever-changing market conditions," said Bill Hilf, general manager of the Windows Server Division at Microsoft. "Virtualization has been too complicated and expensive for most organizations, which is why less than 10 percent of servers are virtualized today. Our goal is to make Hyper-V broadly available, easy to adopt and cost-effective while delivering powerful systems management capabilities for customers' traditional and virtualized IT environments."

Customers who started evaluating Hyper-V during the beta process in December 2007 and as part of their Windows Server 2008 installation are already experiencing more flexible IT systems, greater control, increased business agility and higher performance.

"Hyper-V is a thinner, more optimized virtualization technology than we've seen from other vendors, and we look forward to improving server utilization and better managing our datacenter, especially in a clustered environment," said Jason Nord, server engineer at Land O'Lakes Inc. "While evaluating Hyper-V, we've found it offers better support for running simultaneous operating systems, which helps us consolidate our applications that run on a variety of older software and servers."

Microsoft is working with partners to help them plan, build and test their own offerings built on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V to address broad customer needs and expand and enhance the platform capabilities.

"Surgient has seen growing customer interest in adding support for Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V to our virtual lab management software so that our mutual customers can streamline application life cycle operations, reducing capital and operating expenses," said Tim Lucas, president and CEO of Surgient Inc. "Our customers need to be able to replicate production application configurations in virtual labs using any virtual or physical infrastructure. Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V delivers in all these areas, and we're excited to add support for it to our virtual lab management platform."

Hardware industry partners including AMD, Dell Inc., Fujitsu, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Hitachi Ltd., HP, Intel Corporation, IBM Corp., NEC Corp. and Unisys Corp. are also working with Microsoft to test and evaluate Hyper-V. Once final code is available, these partners plan to integrate support for Hyper-V into their virtualization offerings in ways that best fit their business, including pre-installation on servers, device support, solutions and services. These partnerships will further lower barriers for customers as they adopt virtualization solutions, making it easier to incorporate virtualization into their server infrastructures.

The release candidate features an expanded list of tested and qualified guest operating systems, which now includes Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3. Host server and language support has been expanded to include the 64- bit (x64) versions of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter, with English, German and Japanese language options available as well as enablement of Hyper-V on international locales, and further language options and support available in the final release. In addition, the release candidate comes with support for more hardware configurations and offers improved performance and scalability. It also includes the option for installing Hyper- V Manager Microsoft Management Console on Windows Vista SP1 for remote management.

Deployment and management capabilities are essential when building a scalable virtualization infrastructure. With the Microsoft System Center suite and the next version of System Center Virtual Machine Manager, available in the second half of 2008, customers can seamlessly manage their physical and virtual servers with a single set of consistent, compatible tools. Customers will be able to rapidly provision and configure new virtual machines and centrally manage their virtual infrastructure, regardless of whether they are running on Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2, VMware ESX Server or VMware Infrastructure 3. A future release of System Center Virtual Machine Manager will also add support for the Xen hypervisor.

The final version of Hyper-V remains on target for release by August 2008, which aligns with the previously stated timing for delivery within 180 days of the Windows Server 2008 release to manufacturing. More information about Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/virtualization- consolidation.aspx, and more details about the Hyper-V release candidate can be found on TechNet blogs at http://blogs.technet.com/stbnewsbytes.

Spybusters, LLC Selects Tektronix to Aid in Fight Against Corporate EspionageSecurity Consulting Firm Uses Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer with DPX(TM) Live RF Display to Identify Wireless Listening Devices in Boardrooms and Trading Floors

BEAVERTON, Ore., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Tektronix Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced today that Murray Associates, registered as Spybusters, LLC has selected a Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) with DPX(TM) live RF display technology (http://www.tektronix.com/rtsa) to help the security consultancy identify wireless eavesdropping devices that may be located in clients' facilities including boardrooms and security trading floors. The RTSA instrument enables the firm to quickly and efficiently spot sophisticated listening devices, even in challenging environments where there are many competing signals.

Corporate espionage is on the rise due to such factors as globalization, decreased employee loyalty and the increasing value of information. In some parts of the world espionage is a common business practice in competitive industries. At the same time, new technologies are making it easier and more affordable than ever to steal information by tapping into private conversations. Given the potential reward, spies are employing increasingly sophisticated technology that can be difficult to detect.

To fight back against this espionage, companies as well as government agencies are turning to firms that specialize in detecting and removing eavesdropping and other surveillance devices. One of the leaders in the segment is Murray Associates. Based in Oldwick, New Jersey, the 30-year-old company, which is registered as Spybusters, LLC, is seeing heightened demand for its services. The majority of the firm's clients schedule regular inspections or sweeps for any form of electronic surveillance technology in sensitive areas such as executive suites, boardrooms, trading floors, vehicles and aircraft as well as executive homes and off-site meeting locations.

To dramatically increase the level of confidence in pinpointing wireless listening devices, Spybusters has begun using a Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer with unique DPX live RF spectrum display technology. DPX processes more than 48,000 spectrum measurements per second, which is vital to spotting short duration events, and produces a live RF spectrum display that reveals previously unseen RF signals and signal anomalies. The RTSA provides 100 percent probability of intercepting and displaying signals as short as 24 microseconds in duration. In contrast, conventional swept spectrum analyzers typically don't exceed 50 spectrum measurements per second, opening the window for a signal to elude discovery.

"With the Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer and its live RF display we can immediately see what's going on," said Kevin D. Murray, CPP, founder and president of Murray Associates. "Our confidence level is sky high. Some instruments save time. Others increase effectiveness. This one does both. The RTSA has put us miles ahead. There's no one who can touch us in terms of our ability to identify wireless devices."

Only available with Tektronix RTSAs, DPX waveform image processor technology provides an intuitive, full-motion, full-color live RF display. The use of a persistence color grade makes it easy to visually identify the noise floor, and both strong and weak signals occurring at different points in time. By contrast, a swept analyzer (SA) has limited capture and display capability relative to the dynamic signal environment. A swept analyzer will often miss the signals that are most likely to be from an eavesdropping device that turns on and off, changes frequency often, or attempts to mask itself adjacent to another signal. The signal discovery advantages of DPX live RF display technology are particularly useful in helping Spybusters spot unexpected transient anomalies or find signals hidden within or behind legitimate signals.

Beyond finding hidden signals, the RTSA can track down many other signals potentially used in eavesdropping transmissions, including frequency hopping signals, spread spectrum signals, and burst transmission signals. In addition, the extensive signal analysis capabilities provided by an RTSA can aid in determining the type of device that is creating the signal.

"Discovering unexpected and difficult to detect signals is one of the many applications where the unique capabilities of Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers enables our customers to be dramatically more effective in doing their jobs," said Rick King, Vice President, Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer product line, Tektronix. "This application showcases the unique advantages of the DPX live RF display technology by providing an immediate view of everything in the spectrum, including signals with complex modulation that are designed to avoid detection."

About Laser Energetics, Inc.: LEI has and continues to develop a comprehensive and strategic laser product line that addresses applications in Industry, Science, Medicine and the Military. The Company has had a primary focus on its Alexandrite laser technology. These tunable solid state lasers are unique in that they can be conductively air cooled to compete favorably against water cooled lasers in many applications. In addition, these lasers have one of the greatest wavelength tuning ranges with a bandwidth of over 250nm. The company is pursuing markets that are diverse yet can use the same laser with their compact user friendly design. This laser technology provides a sustainable advantage over many other lasers because of their tune-ability, conductively air cooled operation, and their efficiency allowing these lasers to operate at preferred lower voltages such as 110 Volts as well as the military standard 28 VDC, as compared to other less efficient competitive lasers that are large and need 220 Volts to operate.

XFMedia's Fortune China Financial TV Programs Expand Landing Coverage to Total 80 Terrestrial TV Channels

BEIJING, March 19 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- XFMedia , a leading media group in China, announced that two of the Fortune China financial television programs ("Fortune China") have added landing coverage to a total of eighty terrestrial television channels across 24 of China's 31 provinces and provincial-level municipalities. The programs are Fortune China Weekly and Fortune Celebrity, the two weekly programs in the series.

Building upon the existing coverage Fortune China enjoys on the nationwide satellite television NMTV, the programs are now available on more than one channel to the local households in these regions. This development deepens the reach of the programs, enhances the brand visibility and hence is expected to increase the advertising revenues.

The Fortune China series, broadcast in Chinese, is composed of six programs which focus on financial and investment related information and analysis and includes interviews with influential business people. The shows target China's upwardly mobile demographic who have a keen interest in investment.

The Fortune China shows now reach a total potential viewing audience of approximately 225 million through the NMTV satellite channel and a total of 80 terrestrial channels. According to data from CSM Media Research, ratings for the six programs on NMTV averaged 0.144% in the fourth quarter of 2007; 32% higher than the third quarter of 2007, with five of the shows recording new monthly highs.

"XFMedia is strong in financial content, and these are among the most popular and widely watched financial programs in the market," XFMedia CEO Ms Fredy Bush said. "Combined with our strong ad sales capability, we believe we are the market leader in this area."

Ms Bush said she expects the expanded broadcasting coverage of the Fortune China shows will help promote the Fortune China brand, and increase advertising revenues. "It is encouraging to note that the Fortune China shows in February saw a 54% growth in gross advertising revenues over January. Management expects the show's revenues for this year to see continued growth over last year," added Ms Bush.

The company who produces the Fortune China just won the "2008 Top TMT (Technology, Media & Telecom) Enterprises with The Best Investment Value" Award on January 19. This award was presented at the China International Private Equity Forum to the enterprises in the industry of Technology, Media and Telecom which have the highest growth potential as an investment target for investors.

The Fortune China program series itself has recently won the "2007 Most Globalized Financial Program Award" awarded on March 15 by the New Weekly news magazine. This award was established to give credit to financial TV programs in China that provide good international standards and quality in terms of program content and production style. The shows, amongst the best known financial TV series in China, also won the Award of the TV Media with the Best Investment Value in 2006 and 2007 consecutively. The award recognizes the shows in China that provide the best return for the advertising dollars spent.

XFMedia derives revenue through advertising sales and licensing of TV programs, including the Fortune China series. The six programs in the Fortune China financial television series are Fortune Morning, Fortune Guide, Fortune Broadway, Fortune Talk Show, Fortune China Weekly and Fortune Celebrity.

CounterPath to List on TSX-Venture Exchange and Announces Share Consolidation

VANCOUVER, March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CounterPath Corporation (OTCBB: CPAH, formerly COPA), a leading provider of desktop and mobile VoIP software products and solutions, today announced that the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") has conditionally approved the listing of the Company's common shares on the TSX-V as a Tier 1 issuer. Trading of the common shares of the Company over the TSX Venture is conditional on the completion of standard requirements and the provision of standard documents to the TSX-V. Trading is expected to commence on the TSX-V Venture Exchange under the stock symbol "CCV" in July, 2008. Investors can continue trading common shares of CounterPath on the OTC BB under the new symbol CPAH.

"The TSX Venture listing will provide access to the Canadian capital markets which are receptive to high growth companies with innovative technologies," said Greg Pelling, Chief Executive Officer of CounterPath. "Listing on the TSX-V and filing in Canada along with the U.S. will enable Canadian investors to trade our stock in Canada within four months and qualify our shares for inclusion in Canadian Registered Savings Plans," concluded Pelling.

Concurrent with the conditional listing, the Board of Directors has approved a five for one common share consolidation effective March 19, 2008 ("the effective date"). The consolidation affects all shareholders uniformly and does not affect any shareholder's percentage interest in CounterPath. No fractional shares will be issued. Registered shareholders otherwise entitled to a fractional share interest as a result of the consolidation will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. As part of the consolidation, the Company's new trading symbol on the OTC BB is "CPAH".
