Garmin(R) GPSMAP(R) 495: A Feature Rich, Great Value GPS for Pilots

OLATHE, Kan., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. , the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today the GPSMAP 495, a portable aviation device designed for pilots who want many of the same features as the popular GPSMAP 496 at a fraction of the cost. The GPSMAP 495 includes Garmin's SafeTaxi(R) airport diagrams, Garmin's Smart Airspace, AOPA's Airport Directory data, enhanced high-resolution terrain database, aviation database with private airports and heliports, accelerated GPS update rate, and European VFR reporting waypoints.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061026/CGTH082LOGO)

"Those familiar with our aviation handheld product line will see the GPSMAP 495 as a cross between the GPSMAP 296 and GPSMAP 496 because it provides some of the advanced features found on the GPSMAP 496, but is closer to the GPSMAP 296's price point," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing.

The GPSMAP 495 incorporates the same, higher resolution terrain database found on the GPSMAP 496. The land graphics have over ten times as much data as other Garmin handhelds and vividly display proximity hazards. In aviation mode, pilots have the benefit of terrain and obstacle alerting, pop-up alerts, and customizable minimum clearance limits that give audible terrain alerts at specified altitudes. Pilots will also appreciate Garmin's Smart Airspace feature that automatically highlights airspace close to the pilot's current altitude and de-emphasizes airspace away from the current altitude.

Like the GPSMAP 496, the GPSMAP 495 has an increased GPS update rate that is five times faster than other handheld GPS devices. This impressive speed gives fluid updates of GPS derived data including the aircraft's flight indicators, such as the HSI and turn rate indicator.

The GPSMAP 495's SafeTaxi diagrams and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Airport Directory data help reduce the headaches associated with navigating unfamiliar taxiways and airports. With over 850 US airport diagrams preloaded, SafeTaxi lets pilots see the aircraft's exact location on the field in relation to charts that identify runways, taxiways and hangars. The preloaded AOPA Airport Directory data includes information for over 5,300 public-use airports and more than 7,000 FBOs, such as pilot services, ground transportation, lodging, restaurants, and local attractions. In addition, Garmin's version of the AOPA's Airport Directory highlights airports where pilots can save on fuel by using self-service fueling locations.

Those who want to use the GPSMAP 495 on the road or water can do so by adding optional MapSource(R) City Navigator(R) street maps or BlueChart(R) marine cartography. City Navigator helps drivers navigate unfamiliar streets with turn-by-turn, voice-prompted directions to specific addresses and points of interests. When MapSource BlueChart(R) marine cartography is installed, the waterproof GPSMAP 495 displays information like depth contours, inter-tidal zones, spot soundings, wrecks, navaids, port plans, restricted areas, cable areas and anchorages.

The GPSMAP 495 is expected to be available April 8-13, 2008, at the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In in Lakeland, Florida. The expected street price is $1,595.00. Those who purchase a GPSMAP 495 at the 2008 Sun 'n Fun Fly-In are also eligible to receive a $100 rebate. The GPSMAP 495 package includes a yoke mount, cigarette-lighter adapter, AC adapter cable, USB-to-PC interface cable, low-profile remote GPS antenna, carrying case, free Jeppesen update certificate, owner's manual and quick-reference guide. The GPSMAP 495 does not include the GXM 30A smart antenna with XM WX Satellite Weather and it is not compatible with the GXM(TM) 30A smart antenna.

Atari, Inc. Receives Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq-Common Stock Subject to Delisting--Atari, Inc. Intends to Initiate Appeal Process-

NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atari, Inc. , an interactive entertainment company, announced today that on March 24, 2008 it received a Staff Determination Letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating that Atari, Inc. has not gained compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(3), and that its securities are therefore subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market.

As previously announced, on December 21, 2007, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notified Atari, Inc. that, pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(1), unless the market value of Atari, Inc.'s publicly held shares (which is calculated by reference to Atari, Inc.'s total shares outstanding, less any shares held by officers, directors or beneficial owners of 10% or more) maintains an aggregate market value of $15.0 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to March 20, 2008, Atari, Inc.'s securities would be subject to delisting. The value of Atari, Inc.'s publicly held shares did not reach that level within the required period. Atari, Inc. intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel in order to appeal the Nasdaq Staff's determination in light of, among other things, the pending proposal by Infogrames Entertainment SA (IESA) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock not held by IESA. The hearing request will stay the delisting and, as a result, Atari, Inc.'s securities will remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the Panel issues its decision following the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant Atari, Inc.'s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.

About Atari, Inc.

New York-based Atari, Inc. publishes and distributes interactive entertainment software in the U.S. The Company's 1,000+ published titles distributed by the Company include hard-core, genre- defining franchises such as Test Drive(R); and mass-market and children's franchises such Dragon Ball Z(R).

Icahn Publishes an Open Letter to Motorola Board

NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Carl Icahn is sending the following letter to the Board of Directors of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE MOT):

Carl C. Icahn c/o Icahn Associates Corp. 767 Fifth Avenue, 47th Floor New York, NY 10153 March 26, 2008 Board of Directors Motorola, Inc. 131 E. Algonquin Road Schaumberg, Illinois 60196 Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today's -- much delayed and long overdue -- announcement regarding the spin-off of the Mobile Devices business and the establishment of two fully independent companies with separate management teams and Boards is clearly a step in the right direction. As you know, for some time I have argued that this should be done. However, as one of the largest Motorola stockholders, I continue to have concerns about the speed and manner in which a new management team is selected for the Mobile Devices business and the separation transaction is consummated. Time is of the essence and decisive action is required to reposition the Mobile Devices business for success as an independent company. Furthermore, today's announcement begs a few key questions:

1. Why will it take you until sometime in 2009 to accomplish the separation? 2. Why does it take the threat of a proxy fight for you to make promises we all want to hear? 3. Do you intend to carry out your proposals or will it be a repeat of last year's proxy fight strewn with a string of broken commitments? Obviously the tepid reaction of the market manifests shareholders' views concerning the value of your commitment. The only statement made in your conference call we totally agree with is that . . . "there can be no assurances that any transaction will ultimately occur."

You stated during today's conference call, "we discussed Board Nominees with Carl Icahn and we proposed two nominees and he declined." Again this is only partially true. It is true that Sandy Warner, head of the Nominating Committee called me and offered seats to two of my Nominees if I would drop the proxy fight. However, you failed to mention in your conference call that I told Mr. Warner that I would gladly accept this offer if the Board would also accept Keith Meister. Mr. Warner replied summarily to this offer that Meister did not "qualify." I asked Mr. Warner what does one have to do to qualify -- lose $37 billion dollars? Mr. Warner then replied that the Board did not "know" Meister. My answer was that Meister would fly anywhere at any time to meet the Board so they could "know" him (I did mention that the situation at Motorola is too serious for the Board to remain a country club). My offer to Motorola stills stands.

You have stated to the press that our request for information about what steps the Board actually took to correct the problem at Motorola is an unnecessary distraction. We disagree. In a political election when constituents believe their representatives' performance was inadequate, they are certainly not denied information as to whether their representative acted in a grossly negligent fashion. Why should it be different in Corporate America?

I do however agree with you that this proxy fight is a distraction that Motorola at this junction can ill afford. If as you have stated, we all want to benefit the stockholders of Motorola, then what possible reason is there for not putting Keith Meister on the Board. After all, how much can he eat at the Board meetings? On a positive side, having a highly intelligent, energetic individual like Keith, who has 145 million reasons to spend his time working toward the spin-off being accomplished, may well make this promise come true in a timely fashion.

We ask the Board meet with Meister, put egos aside and let's get on with the urgent business at hand.

Sincerely, Carl C. Icahn

Avistar Announces Cost Restructuring in Response to Patent Challenge by Microsoft

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avistar Communications Corporation today announced decisive cost cutting measures. As part of this cost management program, the company will reduce its US and European workforce by approximately 25%, largely by the end of Q1 2008. In addition, Avistar is suspending the formation of its previously-announced China-based development capacity. This cost structure realignment is prompted in large part by Microsoft Corporation's recent challenge to all of Avistar's US patents through the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Following extended in-depth licensing discussions, Microsoft moved to challenge all of Avistar's 29 US patents using the USPTO's re-examination process. "This single action against Avistar's complete US patent portfolio represents over 5% of the entire 2007 third-party re-examination challenges at the USPTO," observed Simon Moss, Avistar's CEO. "This leads to only one logical conclusion -- Microsoft must be taking our patent portfolio very seriously in regard to it's relevance to their present or future products. Why else would it take such a dramatic action?"

"Avistar has 80 US and foreign patents in its current portfolio relevant to the burgeoning unified communications market. The patents submitted for re-examination have a 1993 priority date, have already been examined over a large body of prior art, and include patents that have successfully withstood two litigations," added Tony Rodde, Avistar's President; Intellectual Property Division. "Accordingly, we believe that the re-examination process, if undertaken by the USPTO, will validate these patents and make them even stronger."

Avistar remains hopeful of reaching a favorable resolution with Microsoft on licensing Avistar's intellectual property in the near future. In the meantime, however, the prospect of an extensive re-examination process and the potential impact on Avistar's financial outlook have left Avistar with no alternative but to proactively and decisively execute this set of cost reductions in order to protect its intellectual property and its associated product business.

These cost management efforts are structured to effectively align operations to deal with Microsoft's challenges, while still allowing Avistar to continue investing in its C3 video communications and collaboration product line, as well as continuing to license its intellectual property and technology. In expanding its C3 product suite, Avistar has scheduled the introduction of new, market-leading software solutions which implement additional unified communication features, add turnkey room-based videoconferencing solutions targeted at small to medium meeting rooms and executive offices, as well as incorporating significant progress in key community and supply chain innovations.

Avistar is recognized as one of the early pioneers in unified communications. Wainhouse Research expects the market for Unified Communications to expand 104% annually to $16.6B by 2012. The relevance of Avistar's patent portfolio has never been more important to the firm. An analysis conducted last year by Ocean Tomo, LLC, a leading appraisal and services firm with specialized expertise in valuing patents, indicated that, subject to certain qualifications, the potential net present value of monetizing Avistar's intellectual property could represent an income of between $300 and $500 million.

About Avistar Communications Corporation

Avistar creates technology that provides the missing critical element in unified communications: bringing people in organizations face-to-face, through enhanced communications, for true collaboration anytime, anyplace. Its latest product, Avistar C3, draws on over a decade of market experience to deliver a single-click desktop videoconferencing and collaboration experience that moves business communications into a new era. Available as a stand-alone solution, or integrated with existing unified communications software from other vendors, Avistar C3 users gain instant messaging-style ability to initiate video communications across and outside the enterprise. Patented bandwidth management enables thousands of users to access desktop videoconferencing, Voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming media, without requiring substantial new network investment or impairing network performance.

Avistar's desktop videoconferencing and collaboration installations are among the world's largest, including more than 18,000 seats in more than 40 countries. Clients report as much as a 20 percent reduction in travel expense and carbon emissions, increases in productivity, and immeasurably improved relationship building within their organizations, as well as with suppliers and customers. Avistar holds a portfolio of 80 patents for inventions in video and network technology and licenses IP to videoconferencing, rich-media services, public networking and related industries. Current licensees include Sony Corporation, Polycom, Inc., Tandberg ASA, Radvision Ltd. and Emblaze- VCON.

Statements made in this news release that are not purely historical, including but not limited to statements regarding the validation and strengthening of Avistar's patents as a result of the re-examination process, Avistar's prospects for achieving a favorable resolution with Microsoft on licensing Avistar's intellectual property in the near future, the impact of Avistar's cost reductions on its ability to protect its intellectual property and its associated product business, growth in the market for Unified Communications and the net present value of monetizing Avistar's intellectual property portfolio, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including such factors, among others, as uncertainty associated with the USPTO's review and determination process, the time and expense to Avistar of responding to the re-examination requests and defending its patent portfolio, difficulties associated with enforcing or licensing Avistar's patent portfolio to Microsoft or others during the review and possible re-examination process, the risk that Avistar's existing and pending patents could be revoked by the USPTO, Avistar's lengthy sales cycle, volatility associated with Avistar's sales and licensing activities which make it difficult to match Avistar's expenses with its revenue and risks that the assumptions and qualifications upon which the Ocean Tomo report was based do not materialize. As a result of these and other factors, Avistar expects to experience significant fluctuations in its licensing activities and operating results, and there can be no assurance that Avistar's future results will meet expectations. These and other risk factors are discussed in Avistar's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Avistar disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

"For the first three quarters of this year we have grown our operating cash flow 55%, 3 times faster than at this point in the past five years."

"Safe Harbor" Statement: Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans and prospects are "forward-looking statements" and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect our current expectations and our actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations: (1) Economic, political and market conditions could adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability through reductions in IT budgets and expenditures. (2) We may fail to achieve our financial forecasts due to such factors as delays or size reductions in transactions, fewer large transactions in a particular quarter, unanticipated fluctuations in currency exchange rates, delays in delivery of new products or releases, or a decline in our renewal rates for software license updates and product support. (3) We cannot assure market acceptance of new products or new versions of existing or acquired products. (4) We have an active acquisition program (including our recently announced proposed acquisition of BEA Systems, Inc.) and our acquisitions may not be successful, may involve unanticipated costs or other integration issues, or may disrupt our existing operations. (5) Periodic changes to our pricing model and sales organization could temporarily disrupt operations and cause a decline or delay in sales. (6) Intense competitive forces demand rapid technological advances and frequent new product introductions, and could require us to reduce prices. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our SEC filings, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, particularly under the heading "Risk Factors." Copies of these filings are available online from the SEC or by contacting Oracle Corporation's Investor Relations Department at (650) 506-4073 or by clicking on SEC Filings on Oracle's Investor Relations website at http://www.oracle.com/investor. All information set forth in this release is current as of March 26, 2008. Oracle undertakes no duty to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the table, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:

-- Support deferred revenue: Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the fair value of support contracts assumed in connection with our acquisitions. Because these are typically one-year contracts, our GAAP revenues for the one-year period subsequent to our acquisitions do not reflect the full amount of software license updates and product support revenues on assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entities. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenues. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business because we have historically experienced high renewal rates on support contracts, although we cannot be certain that customers will renew these contracts.

-- Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

-- Amortization of intangible assets expenses: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income. Amortization of intangible assets expense is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Amortization expenses will recur in future periods.

-- Acquisition related and other expenses, and restructuring expenses: We incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisitions and also incurred certain other operating expenses or income, which we would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented. Acquisition related and other expenses primarily consist of in-process research and development expenses, integration related professional services, stock-based compensation expenses (in addition to the stock-based compensation expenses described above), personnel related expenses for transitional employees, certain business combination contingency adjustments after the purchase price allocation period has ended, and certain other operating expenses or income. Stock-based compensation expenses included in acquisition related and other expenses primarily resulted from unvested options assumed in acquisitions whose vesting was fully accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the terms of those options. Restructuring expenses consist of Oracle employee severance and other exit costs. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effect of these items on our total operating expenses. Although acquisition related expenses and restructuring expenses are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, we will incur these expenses in connection with future acquisitions.

For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2008, acquisition related and other expenses include a gain on property sale of $57 million. For the nine months ended February 28, 2007, acquisition related and other expenses included a $52 million benefit related to the settlement of a lawsuit filed against PeopleSoft, Inc. on behalf of the U.S. government. This lawsuit was filed in October 2003, prior to our acquisition of PeopleSoft and represented a pre-acquisition contingency that we identified and assumed in connection with our acquisition of PeopleSoft. In October 2006, we agreed to pay the U.S. government $98 million to settle this lawsuit. Business combination accounting standards require that after the end of the purchase price allocation period, any adjustment that results from a pre-acquisition contingency should be included as an element of net income in the period of settlement, versus an adjustment to the original purchase price allocation. Since the purchase price allocation period for PeopleSoft ended in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the favorable difference of $52 million between the estimated exposure recorded for this lawsuit during the purchase price allocation period and the actual settlement amount has been included in our consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2007 as a component of acquisition related and other expenses.

Verizon Wireless Files Lawsuit to Stop Telemarketers Offering Extended Automobile Warranties

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless said today it has filed a lawsuit to stop unknown telemarketers from calling its customers and employees with an offer of an extended car warranty. The lawsuit, filed in New Jersey Superior Court, alleges the telemarketers illegally used an autodialer to reach Verizon Wireless customers and used "spoofing" techniques to mask the origin of the calls.

The lawsuit alleges that Caller ID showed calls were made from a variety of numbers with 281, 614, 801, and 562 area codes. But, when Verizon Wireless customers and employees attempted to call the numbers found on Caller ID, they generally heard a fast busy signal, indicating a non-working number.

"Telemarketers are using increasingly sophisticated methods, such as illegal autodialing, to harass our customers," said Steven E. Zipperstein, vice president and general counsel of Verizon Wireless. "Whatever the method, these unlawful telemarketing calls are an annoyance to our customers and invade their privacy, and we will continue to use every weapon in our legal arsenal to stop this activity and protect our customers."

In the lawsuit, Verizon Wireless says that, beginning in January 2008, more than 2 million of its customers and employees received calls on their wireless telephones with a pre-recorded voice message indicating that the recipient's car warranty was about to expire, and encouraging them to press "1" for more information. When a recipient presses "1", he or she is connected to a person who asks for the make and model of the car. However, if the recipient asks for information about the company offering the policy, the representative simply hangs up and ends the call.

The lawsuit alleges violations of the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which makes it illegal to use an autodialer to make calls to wireless phones, as well as state fraud and privacy laws. By filing the lawsuit, Verizon Wireless will be able to use the discovery process to help identify the currently unknown telemarketers, and to get them to halt their practices.

Verizon Wireless' record of protecting customer privacy puts the company at the forefront of the U.S. wireless industry. Over the past several years, Verizon Wireless has won permanent injunctions against individuals and companies that have engaged in illegal telemarketing and text message spamming to Verizon Wireless customers, and against those who have attempted to obtain information about Verizon Wireless customers to sell to third parties.

eCollege's Enterprise Reporting Provides Data for Online Learning SuccessNew Reporting Tool Offers Deeper Insights into Online Learning Programs' Daily Activity Trends

DENVER, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- eCollege, the nation's leading provider of comprehensive eLearning technology and services to education, today announced an early access release of Enterprise Reporting-a powerful reporting suite that delivers extensive program information in an accessible, Web-based tool. Enterprise Reporting places student activity, course progress and a variety of online data at administrators' fingertips. The announcement was made at CiTE 2008, eCollege's annual users' conference.

"One of the inherent benefits of online education is that student and instructor activity can be measured," said eCollege President Matthew Leavy. "We are continually working to give our customers the very best tools and resources so they can make informed decisions to improve their online learning programs. With Enterprise Reporting, our customers have the ability to quickly gather up-to-date information about their online learning programs. Instant access to data across programs allows institutions to act on key performance indicators that can improve learning and student success."

To provide this robust reporting suite, eCollege has partnered with Cognos, an IBM company and the world leader in business intelligence and performance management solutions. Cognos' proven software approach provides an adaptive analytics framework that eCollege has leveraged for Enterprise Reporting's powerful trending and monitoring capabilities.

"Our partnership with eCollege is an exciting step forward into the fast-expanding online learning market. With a zero footprint and quick time to deployment, our IBM Cognos BI solutions are perfectly suited to empowering eCollege customers with the enterprise reporting and analysis they need to optimize program management," said Ted Jandle, Vice-President of Global OEM Partners at Cognos.

Enterprise Reporting is the evolution of eCollege's reporting strategy. It combines eCollege's analytical trending tool, Program Intelligence Manager, with the ability to monitor daily program information, such as course enrollments, student activity and grades. Institutions will use Enterprise Reporting to quickly create customized reports about their online learning programs.

Enterprise Reporting provides a flexible user interface in which users can drag and drop desired fields to execute ad-hoc reports. This reporting tool pools granular and historical course performance data, allowing users to monitor trends in daily occurrences.

The Enterprise Reporting package will allow institutions to identify at-risk students early and provide assistance to help them succeed. Enterprise Reporting gives eCollege customers the tools they need to make informed decisions that will improve learning throughout the institution, increasing student success and retention.

Enterprise reporting also will give institutions the ability to analyze data from a program-intelligence perspective. These capabilities allow administrators to make specific, measurable results for implementing strategic improvements to their online learning programs. These strategic improvement decisions offer increased program effectiveness and quicker return for the institution's online education investment.

Highlights of the On Demand Reporting tool include: -- Advanced reporting capability that allows institutions to monitor key performance indicators on a daily basis -- Analyzes historic data to determine key drivers of operational and program success -- Flexible user interface with drag-and-drop capabilities for defining ad-hoc reports -- Provides comparative reports of the institution's online enrollments, activity and grades -- Monitors student grade and activity levels, identifying at-risk students for follow-up action -- Provides current seat counts to ensure optimal resource levels for targeted student retention -- Efficient report creation for accreditation and regulatory compliance needs

Five eCollege customers will pilot the program. The final launch of Enterprise Reporting is targeted for 2008.

"Enterprise Reporting enables our customers to quickly and dynamically generate useful operational reports. They can pick and choose the desired data fields and filter on any parameter," said Katy Kappler, Product Director of Administrative Solutions at eCollege. "Now, with this effective tool, users can run complex, aggregate reports quickly."

Eutelsat and Speedcast Announce the Launch of a New Global Maritime Broadband Service

SINGAPORE, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On the occasion of Asia Pacific Maritime, Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) and SpeedCast announce they are jointly launching a new maritime broadband communications service addressing the commercial shipping sector. The partnership between both companies brings together expertise from Eutelsat, one of the world's largest satellite operators and SpeedCast, a major satellite communications service provider in Asia, wholly owned by AsiaSat, the leading regional satellite operator in Asia.

The new service will serve key shipping routes using Ku-band satellite capacity, mostly on Eutelsat and AsiaSat satellites. In addition to a fixed flat fee per ship, irrespective of usage, the system will provide an improved customer experience by automatically switching from one satellite coverage beam to another with no manual intervention. A major innovation of the service is the use of small one metre stabilised satellite antennas. Compared with currently used 2.4 metre C-band systems, the Ku-band antennas will reduce equipment costs by more than 50% and the space occupied on deck by more than 60%.

Eutelsat and SpeedCast, together with distribution partners, are principally targeting operators of merchant shipping and fishing fleets who wish to integrate enhanced on-board applications in order to optimise productivity and improve crew welfare. The service will enable secure offshore Virtual Private Networks to be established with land-based offices so that a ship in effect becomes a mobile office fully integrated into an overall network. The provision of additional services to crew such as Internet access, GSM connectivity, Video-on-Demand and IPTV services could also be carried through the same satellite connection.

SpeedCast CEO, Pierre-Jean Beylier said: "We are very happy to be launching this new global Ku-band service together with Eutelsat to address some of the key issues that the shipping industry is currently facing, such as crew retention and extension of corporate applications to ships. Eutelsat and SpeedCast's service combines Internet access and VoIP for the crew, and secure VPN capabilities with guaranteed bandwidth for mission critical corporate applications. The ship really becomes a mobile office with an always-on broadband connection and unlimited usage for a monthly fixed fee, as we are used to onshore."

Arduino Patacchini, Eutelsat Multimedia Director commented: "We are very excited to expand beyond our strong and well-established suite of D-STAR maritime services and regional footprint towards a worldwide coverage through this partnership with SpeedCast. This new offer enables us to respond to the maritime community and to crew who will be able to be connected to family and friends at any time. It also opens the door to new applications. Achieving these objectives with a small one metre antenna on a global basis marks a real step forward."

The service will be provided via a 24/7 Network Operations Centre operated by SpeedCast in Hong Kong connecting with a network of teleports, including SpeedCast's Hong Kong teleport and the Turin teleport operated by Eutelsat's broadband affiliate, Skylogic.

About SpeedCast

SpeedCast is a leading satellite service provider operating in over 35 countries in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.

SpeedCast's powerful satellite IP-based platform delivers:

- SpeedCast Broadband: high speed Internet connectivity for enterprises and service providers - SpeedCast Private Network: satellite network infrastructure and managed solutions - SpeedCast Multimedia: Premium bouquet of over 30 world-class channels for broadband and mobile networks - SpeedCast Broadcast: content delivery solutions to ensure high-quality distribution of enterprise and media content.

Eutelsat et Speedcast annoncent le lancement d'un nouveau service maritime mondial à haut débit

SINGAPOUR, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- A l'occasion du salon Asia Pacific Maritime, Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris : ETL) et SpeedCast ont annoncé le lancement conjoint d'un nouveau service de communications maritimes de haut débit dédié au secteur de la marine marchande. Ce partenariat réunit l'expertise technique d'Eutelsat, l'un des premiers opérateurs mondiaux de satellites et de SpeedCast, l'un des grands fournisseurs de services par satellite en Asie, détenu à 100% par AsiaSat, opérateur régional de satellites leader en Asie.

Ce nouveau service offrira une couverture des grandes routes maritimes en exploitant principalement les ressources satellitaires en bande Ku des flottes Eutelsat et AsiaSat. Lors d'un changement de zone de couverture, le transfert d'un faisceau satellitaire à un autre se fera automatiquement sans intervention manuelle de la part de l'équipage, apportant un grand confort d'utilisation. Le service sera commercialisé sur la base d'abonnements forfaitaires sans limite de consommation. Une autre innovation majeure importante de ce service est la réduction de la taille de l'antenne stabilisée de 1 mètre de diamètre. Comparée aux antennes de 2,40 mètres pour les services actuels en bande C, l'usage de la bande Ku permet ainsi de diminuer de moitié le coût des équipements et de plus de 60% l'espace requis de fixation sur le pont.

Eutelsat et SpeedCast, à travers leurs réseaux de distributeurs, visent principalement les armateurs de navires de commerce et de flottes de pêche qui souhaitent équiper leurs navires de solutions d'accès au haut débit afin d'augmenter leur productivité et d'améliorer la vie en mer de leurs équipages. La liaison par satellite permettra d'établir entre le bateau et ses bases à terre un réseau privé virtuel entièrement sécurisé, le navire devenant ainsi un << bureau mobile >> entièrement intégré dans un réseau global. La fourniture d'autres services à l'équipage, tels que l'accès Internet, la connexion aux réseaux GSM, le téléchargement de la vidéo à la demande ou la réception de l'IPTV, pourra également être assurée par cette liaison satellite.

A l'occasion de cette annonce, Pierre-Jean Beylier, Président de SpeedCast, a déclaré : << Nous sommes très heureux de lancer aujourd'hui avec Eutelsat ce service mondial en bande Ku unique en son genre, qui apporte une réponse à certains des grands enjeux de la marine marchande, tels que la pénurie de personnel et l'importance croissante des systèmes d'information embarqués sur les navires. Le service lancé par Eutelsat et SpeedCast associe l'accès Internet et la téléphonie sur IP pour les équipages, à une connexion permanente des bateaux à leur réseau privé d'entreprise avec une bande passante garantie. Le bateau devient donc une extension mobile de l'entreprise, connectée en permanence en haut débit, avec des formules d'abonnement mensuel illimité, comme il en existe pour les services à terre. >>

De son côté, Arduino Patacchini, Directeur du département Multimédia d'Eutelsat, a ajouté : << Le lancement de ce service vient consolider le développement de notre gamme de solutions maritimes D-STAR, en nous permettant de passer progressivement d'une empreinte régionale à une couverture mondiale, grâce au partenariat avec SpeedCast. Cette nouvelle offre constitue une réponse parfaitement adaptée au besoin croissant de connexion permanente pour les professions de la mer, et notamment pour les membres d'équipage qui pourront communiquer à tout moment avec leurs proches. Elle ouvre en outre la voie à de nouvelles applications qui profiteront à l'ensemble du secteur. >>

Le service sera fourni 24h/24 et 7j/7 via un centre de gestion exploité par SpeedCast, à Hong Kong. Ce centre sera connecté à un réseau de téléports, dont celui de SpeedCast à Hong Kong et celui de Skylogic, la filiale haut débit d'Eutelsat, situé à Turin (Italie).

In separate meetings held today in London, Reuters shareholders also overwhelmingly approved the transaction. Thomson and Reuters will each now seek court approvals in Canada and the United Kingdom, respectively. The acquisition is expected to close on April 17, 2008.

The Thomson Corporation

The Thomson Corporation (www.thomson.com) is a global leader in providing essential electronic workflow solutions to business and professional customers. With operational headquarters in Stamford, Conn., Thomson provides value-added information, software tools and applications to professionals in the fields of law, tax, accounting, financial services, scientific research and healthcare. The Corporation's common shares are listed on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC).

The directors of Thomson accept responsibility for the information contained in this announcement. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the directors of Thomson (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure such is the case), the information contained herein for which they accept responsibility is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

DEALING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the 'Code'), if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of Thomson or of Reuters, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant securities' of that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the acquisition of Reuters becomes, or is declared, unconditional, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of Thomson or Reuters, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of Thomson or Reuters by Thomson or Reuters, or by any of their respective 'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. 'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.

Peterson's and U.S. Navy Provide Education and Career Guidance to Service Members and Their Families

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Peterson's, a leading provider of education guidance, and the U.S. Navy Library Program are working together to offer service members and their families a suite of educational products and services designed to help them reach their educational and professional goals.

The comprehensive online resource center is available 24/7 at the Navy Knowledge Online Web site to help active, as well as reserve service members and their families find the right educational program, prepare for important tests and exams and plan their military or civilian careers.

"Thanks to the expert content provided by Peterson's, the Navy Education Resource Center now offers the CLEP/DSST Center, Military Test Prep Center, Resume/Career Center and the Family College Planning Center," said Nellie S. C. Moffitt, head of the Navy General Library Program in the Media & Resource Branch. "With the tools available on our site, service members can not only identify their education and career goals, but take proactive steps to attain them."

The CLEP(R) (College Level Exam Program) and DSST (DANTES Subjects Standardized Tests) programs provide students the opportunity to demonstrate college-level proficiency through a series of exams in undergraduate college courses. The CLEP/DSST section of the resource center helps enlisted and reserve Navy personnel and their families prepare for various CLEP and DSST subject tests. One of the main benefits of successfully taking CLEP and DSST exams is that individuals can earn college credit for knowledge they have gained through their professional experiences or other alternative learning methods. This can save time and also reduce tuition expenses. By completing practice tests available in multiple subject areas, service members can identify their strengths and weaknesses and prepare an effective study plan.

The Military Test Prep Center offers diagnostic tests for the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery), which is the military's qualification and promotion exam. Navy personnel can take the ASVAB diagnostic test and utilize full-length computer adaptive practice tests and an online ASVAB course. Peterson's technology will create an Individualized Learning Path(TM) for each user based on the results of the diagnostic test. This means that every lesson will specifically target the skills and knowledge of the user to improve his or her performance on the ASVAB.

By using the resources available in the Resume/Career Center, users learn to present their Navy background as a major asset, translating military jargon into compelling resume language. With Resume Builder, users can harness the knowledge of Certified Professional Resume Writers and create professionally formatted resumes that get results.

The Family College Planning Center is another valuable component of the resources provided to the Navy Library Program by Peterson's. Within this section of the online portal, service members and their families can find everything they need to plan, prepare and pay for college, including extensive college search and selection tools, practice tests for college admission tests, like the SAT* and ACT(R), as well as expert financial aid guidance. A database of scholarships totaling more than $8 billion is also available along with dozens of expert articles covering federal aid, college-based awards, loans and more.

Peterson's Nelnet, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nelnet, Inc., is a leading provider of education solutions in print and online for students, families, schools and educators in the areas of test preparation, admissions, financial aid and career guidance.
