Destiny Media Technologies Reports Record Revenues for Q2 2008Play MPE Revenues Grow for 10th Consecutive Quarter; 300% Increase Over the Prior Year

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media (BULLETIN BOARD: DSNY) , the global leader in the secure distribution of pre-release music to radio and provider of instant play streaming video and audio, is pleased to report record revenues for Q2 which covers the period December 2007 -- February 2008.

During the past four months (to March 31, 2008) agreements were reached with EMI North America company wide, more than 50 independent record labels, and approximately 30 independent promoters. The independent promoter agreements in turn represent in excess of 125 independent record labels. Many of these agreements were reached later in the quarter or into the third quarter so these contracts are expected to have a more significant impact on revenue as the year progresses.

Despite the seasonal slowdown in sends when labels shut down for the holidays, MPE(R) revenues still exceeded the previous high set the prior quarter. Clipstream(R) revenues declined by 15%, while MPE(R) revenues grew by 8%. The loss from operations declined 3%.

The company has been developing a subscription based automated Clipstream(R) hosted solution for customers which is expected to launch in Q3. Customers will have full reporting and complete control of their video content, which will be hosted on Destiny's server farms, but which will appear to be embedded in their own page or other third party pages on the net or even within their own emails. The slight decline in Clipstream(R) revenue is a result of a decrease in marketing efforts in anticipation of this launch.

"While still modest, revenue exceeded management's projections on the strength of new contracts and increased usage by existing customers," said Fred Vandenberg Chief Financial Officer. "We look forward to transitioning the rest of the industry from trials to paid agreements and expanding our usage globally. Tests are underway in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia / New Zealand. Approximately 90% of MPE(R) revenue in the quarter was from the US, while the remainder is from Canadian usage."

Verizon Wireless Continues Georgia Network Expansion and Investments in First QuarterCompany spends nearly $68 million already in 2008 to expand and enhance coverage and capacity, proving "It's the Network"

ALPHARETTA, Ga., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, the company with the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, announced today the continued investment to enhance and expand its network across Georgia. In the first quarter of this year, the company continued its ongoing network investment across Georgia spending nearly $68 million to date, to enhance wireless capacity and expand service across the state. The company continued to expand its Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) third generation (3G) wide-area network Revision A (Rev. A). EV-DO Rev. A technology provides customers with access to e-mail, everyday corporate data, the Internet and Web-based applications, entertainment content and the ability to upload files nine times faster and download files at speeds as much as ten times faster than customers of other wireless service providers that use different network technologies.

In the first quarter of 2008, new cell towers were added or existing towers were enhanced in the following Georgia cities: Savannah, Cochran, Swainsboro, Camilla, Chamblee, Ft. Benning, Ft. Stewart, Newnan, Alpharetta, Roswell and the Perimeter Mall area in Atlanta. In addition, the company doubled the broadband capacity on over 30 sites in north metro Atlanta. Verizon Wireless also made sure that NASCAR fans could connect with friends and family by utilizing a COW (Cell on Wheels) to handle the high call capacity for the Atlanta Motor Speedway races in early March.

"We continue our investment to ensure we have the best, most advanced services and reliable network in Georgia and across the country. And customers appreciate it. More people continually choose Verizon Wireless over any other wireless company," said Jeff Mango, President Verizon Wireless Georgia/Alabama Region.

"Georgians demand the very best in wireless products and services but none of it matters unless the network is reliable, which is why our focus will continue to be on delivering the best, most reliable wireless network for voice and data."

With the enhanced network, Georgians have even more ubiquitous access to Verizon Wireless' two prime services: BroadbandAccess and V CAST. BroadbandAccess customers with Rev. A-compatible devices can now expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds. V CAST is a consumer-oriented multimedia service that gives customers access to the most comprehensive selection of downloadable music, high-quality videos and the coolest 3D games found anywhere.

The company's continued investment in Georgia is part of Verizon Wireless' ongoing effort to expand coverage, improve capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $40 billion -- $5 billion on average every year -- since the company was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services.

The British songstress, whose albums have sold in excess of 6 million worldwide, has joined forces with Verizon Wireless to further connect with fans via mobile technology. Bedingfield, whose "Unwritten" was the first single by a British female to hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard pop chart in 19 years, has long made female independence and inspiration the subject of her songs. Her tour includes support from two strong female acts, the Veronicas and Kate Voegele. Tickets for Natasha Bedingfield's Verizon VIP Tour are on sale at http://www.livenation.com/. In addition, lucky Verizon Wireless customers who download Natsaha's content via their V CAST-enabled handsets will have a chance to win a pair of tickets sent directly to their phones.

"Nothing is more exciting than taking it to the stage and performing my songs live," Natasha Bedingfield says. "Having toured around the world, I couldn't be more thrilled to finally be embarking on my first tour of the U.S. with Verizon, who is always at the forefront of mobile technology and great new music. It's going to be a wicked summer run."

"This is a tour that spotlights smart, strong young artists doing what they do best," says Ed Ruth, director of digital music for Verizon. "Natasha Bedingfield, the Veronicas and Kate Voegele are representatives of a new generation of talented female artists speaking out on what's important to them, and mobile technology is a big part of that movement. Verizon Wireless delivers the opportunity for all three artists to interact directly with fans, who can download their music, get tickets to the show and create an on-going dialogue with both before and after their performance."

Verizon Wireless extends the Natasha Bedingfield experience before and after each show by delivering the following at each venue:

Fans can choose to appear as though they are performing "Pocketful of Sunshine" with Natasha. Video clips will be sent directly to fans via their mobile phones to share with their friends.

Mobile Tickets

Verizon Wireless customers in each of the tour cities who have downloaded any type of Natasha Bedingfield mobile content from V CAST will be entered for a chance to win one of 25 pairs of tickets. These loyal customers and fans will receive a mobile ticket sent directly to their phones that is good for two seats to the hottest show in town.

Fans can identify any song and then easily purchase it, the matching ringtone or ringback tone with just one click.

The Natasha Bedingfield VIP tour is in support of her latest album, Pocketful of Sunshine, which has already spawned the hit singles "Love Like This" (featuring Sean Kingston) and the title track. Her first album, Unwritten, made her something of an overnight success in the UK and Europe with Top 10 hits, "Single," "These Words" and the title track. Bedingfield has taken the U.S. by storm as well, especially with Pocketful of Sunshine, which was No. 3 on Billboard's Top 200 during its first week, making it the highest album debut of her career. "Unwritten" was the most played song of 2006/2007 and is the theme song for the hit MTV show "The Hills."

The Veronicas, 23-year-old Australian twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, have become major stars thanks to their catchy pop-punk debut album, 2006's The Secret Life Of ... which has sold over 1 million units worldwide and their latest CD, the electro-rock Hook Me Up, which will be released in the U.S. by Sire Records this summer. With its minimalist beats, killer hooks and sassy vocals, Hook Me Up has already scored two Top 5 singles and gone multi-platinum Down Under. A welcome addition to Natasha's tour, the Veronicas have received raves for their recent live shows in Los Angeles and in New York. As Blender.com noted of an April show in Manhattan, "These girls can sing. And they flip off rock-star moves with the ease of stadium-trained pros."

Entertainment Weekly recently spotlighted Kate Voegele as being among the best of "the new golden age of female singer-songwriters" and Billboard hailed her as "An Artist to Watch in '08." And with good reason: Voegele's MySpace/Interscope debut, Don't Look Away, is generating major heat, going Top 5 on Billboard's Digital Album Chart. In addition, the number of song plays on Voegele's MySpace page has hit the jaw-dropping 15 million-plus mark. Voegele, who has shared stages with the likes of Dave Matthews, the Wreckers and John Mellencamp, performed at two consecutive Farm-Aid concerts and played to packed houses at clubs and theaters nationwide, has a recurring guest-starring role on The CW Network's hit TV series "One Tree Hill." The 21-year-old singer-songwriter/guitarist plays Mia, and over the course of a recent multi-episode arc, performed several songs from her strikingly radiant album, including the lead single "Only Fooling Myself."

Fans can download Natasha's songs, including her latest single, "Pocketful of Sunshine," as ringback tones, true tones and full-song downloads, both over-the-air and on their PCs via V CAST Music. Customers will be charged $1.99 per megabyte for data usage when downloading ringtones or ringback tones.

Cardica's C-Port Anastomosis Systems Facilitate Beating Heart Bypass Surgery in Study- Beating Heart Bypass Surgery Performed at Significantly Reduced Cost at Genesis Medical Center -- New Study Shows Greater than $1,650 Savings Per Procedure as Compared to On-Pump Procedures -

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardica, Inc. and Genesis Medical Center today reported results from a six-month economic analysis comparing the cost of off-pump, "beating heart" coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures, which were performed using the C-Port(R) Distal Anastomosis Systems, with the cost of traditional on-pump CABG surgery. The study showed that beating heart CABG saved $1,684 per procedure, inclusive of the cost of the C-Port systems in the beating heart cases, compared to traditional bypass surgery.

"Importantly, with the C-Port systems we can reliably connect the graft vessels without stopping the heart, which improves patient outcomes, reduces costs and increases the pool of patients eligible for bypass surgery," said Dr. Nicholas Augelli, cardiovascular surgeon at Genesis Medical Center. "Before this study, the vast majority of CABG procedures at Genesis were performed on-pump. We have dramatically changed our practice after this study due to both the significant benefits to patients and reduced costs of beating heart CABG surgeries, and we are able to perform more beating heart procedures by using the C-Port system."

Genesis Medical Center in Davenport, Iowa conducted an economic analysis from July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 to evaluate the cost of traditional on-pump to off-pump CABG procedures using the C-Port systems and other ancillary products to enable off-pump CABG. Drs. Nicholas Augelli and Robert Fietsam performed 78 off-pump procedures during the study, for a total savings of $131,352. In addition to an approximate operating room (OR) time savings of two hours with beating heart surgery, the study showed that the cost of beating heart procedures, which included the cost of the C-Port systems, were $14,905 versus $16,589 for on-pump, "arrested heart" surgery without the use of the C-Port systems. The average cost savings for beating heart procedures with the use of the C-Port systems was $1,684 over traditional bypass surgery without the C-Port system.

"This cost analysis coupled with our excellent patency results exemplifies the value of our C-Port systems to the patient, the physician and the hospital," said Bernard A. Hausen, M.D., Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cardica, Inc. "We believe the C-Port systems, which facilitate less invasive bypass procedures like beating heart CABG, have the potential to revolutionize the field of cardiothoracic surgery in the same way the sewing machine automated hand-stitching."

About the C-Port Anastomosis Systems

Cardica's C-Port systems are designed to enable automated, reliable and reproducible connections of blood vessels during CABG surgery. Unlike most hand-sewn anastomoses, Cardica's C-Port systems create compliant anastomoses that can expand and contract with blood flow. In addition, the C-Port systems, whether used during on- or off- pump surgery, offer surgeons unique access to a wide range of coronary arteries, particularly small coronary arteries on which, in the past, CABG procedures have been very difficult or impossible to perform.

About Cardica, Inc.

Cardica is a leading provider of automated anastomosis systems for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. By replacing hand-sewn sutures with easy-to-use automated systems, Cardica's products provide cardiovascular surgeons with rapid, reliable and consistently reproducible anastomoses, or connections of blood vessels, often considered the most critical aspect of the CABG procedure. Cardica's C-Port systems are marketed in Europe and the United States. The PAS-Port(R) Proximal Anastomosis System is marketed in Europe and Japan and is being evaluated currently in a pivotal trial in the United States and Europe. Cardica also is developing additional devices with Cook Medical to facilitate vascular closure and other surgical procedures.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements related to the potential cost savings and improved patient outcomes from future use of C-Port systems and the potential of C-Port systems in the field of cardiothoracic surgery. The words "believe," "will" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon Cardica's current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Cardica's actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks associated with the long-term patency of graft vessels connected using the C-Port systems, market acceptance of Cardica's C-Port systems, manufacturing of the C-Port systems and its suppliers, Cardica's sales, marketing and distribution strategy and capabilities. These and other risk factors are discussed under "Risk Factors" in Cardica's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007. Cardica expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein. You are encouraged to read the Company's reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, available at http://www.sec.gov/.

"Using technology like Mediasite in teaching helps me to inspire a generation of young readers and writers around the world," said Adora. "Plus, I'm getting my own hands-on education in technology -- especially creating presentations on the computer."

In this webcast, streamed live from Adora's home studio in Redmond, Wash., she will show the next generation of educators how technology can be effectively utilized to enhance both learning and teaching potential. Adora will also cover:

-- Why motivation is key to success as a learner. -- Steps to formulating a process for instruction. -- How to get education students to think like teachers.

The live webcast at http://www.sonicfoundry.com/adora is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. Central, and will also be available on-demand.

Adora has always credited technology with her early success as a writer. An avid reader by three years old and a writer by four, it wasn't until she got her first laptop at age six that she was able to begin writing as fast as she could think. Since then Adora has integrated technology into her own education and into the writing workshops she teaches to students around the world. Adora is the spokesperson for the Verizon Literacy Foundation, has published two books, and has been featured on "Good Morning America," "Oprah" and "CNN" among others. Adora has traveled extensively to teach writing workshops but now reaches her global audience using Mediasite. In just a month's time, Adora has recorded more than 60 hours of content.

AT&T and Cell Phones for Soldiers Launch Earth Day Challenge: Double Cell Phone Recycling by Next Earth Day To Support the Environment and Military FamiliesRecycling Program That Sends Phone Cards to Troops Has Helped Avoid 125 Tons of E-Waste; AT&T's Support for Program Expands to Add 'Helping Hands' From a Network of more than 300,000 AT&T Volunteers

SAN ANTONIO, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. announced today that the company will work with Cell Phones for Soldiers (CPFS) to drive recycling and reduce e-waste through the next year with a goal of doubling the number of cell phones the charity recycles by next Earth Day. CPFS collects and recycles mobile phones and uses the proceeds to buy free phone cards for U.S. military members and their families.

Since Earth Day 2007, CPFS has collected more than 900,000 cell phones for recycling. AT&T and CPFS have pledged to work together to help the charity collect more than 1.8 million devices by Earth Day 2009. AT&T currently supports the charity's recycling through more than 2,000 AT&T stores in more than 1,100 cities across the U.S. AT&T is expanding that support to include a network of more than 300,000 community volunteers, a national donation drive running through July 2008 and a new online starter kit for donations at http://www.att.com/recyclewireless.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, e-waste is accumulating three times faster than household trash. Since 2004, CPFS has collected more than 1.25 million mobile phones. The charity's recycling partner, ReCellular, estimates that this has prevented more than 125 tons of e-waste from entering landfills, including the environmental equivalents of:

* Saving enough energy to power nearly 4,000 U.S. households for a year. * Avoiding the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as removing more than 2,800 passenger cars from the roads for a year. * Keeping more than two tons of toxic materials out of landfills.

"With Earth Day and Cell Phones for Soldiers, we're turning up the volume on cell phone recycling," said Paul Roth, president of Marketing and Sales for AT&T's wireless unit. "So far this year, our weekly in-store recycling averages are five times what they were in 2007 and 28 times more than the same time in 2006. AT&T is proud to support both of these worthwhile programs."

AT&T Adds New People Power: The AT&T Pioneers

One way AT&T is supporting the recycling challenge is through the added support of the AT&T Pioneers. Beginning Earth Day on April 22, a network of more than 300,000 volunteers will begin helping expand the charity's cell phone donation drives into communities across the U.S. Roughly 100 new donation locations will be established, and volunteers will work to collect phones in corporate offices and community locations from the days surrounding Earth Day through July 4 to support the environment and to help keep military families connected with free phone cards.

New Free Online Donation Drive Tool Kit

AT&T and CPFS are also launching a new online tool designed to support community groups and help individuals launch and conduct their own donation drives with a new electronic "starter kit," available at http://www.att.com/recyclewireless. The tool is available to anyone who would like to run a donation drive with CPFS, and it includes environmental tips, planning tools, camera-ready artwork for recycling bins and other relevant materials.

"We're excited to have the support of the AT&T Pioneers and a new free tool to offer our supporters," said CPFS co-founder Brittany Bergquist. "We run our charity from home, and we rely on volunteer support to collect phones for recycling. Having more helping hands to drive our mission to recycle for the troops -- and reduce e-waste -- is something that makes a huge impact on our ability to reach people and, in the end, send more free calls to the troops. Having a new free tool that anyone can use is one more way we're making it simple for people to join us."

Since AT&T launched its support, the company has also donated more than 60,000 prepaid phone cards -- valued at more than $500,000 -- to CPFS to help the charity connect more military families. In the past two years, AT&T has donated more than $4 million worth of prepaid phone cards to help support U.S. military members and their families. These donations include direct distributions to troops serving in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, South Korea, Japan and Europe. The company also has built 70 calling centers in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan.

Additional information on these and other initiatives, including a list of AT&T retail locations serving as drop-off sites for CPFS, is available at http://www.att.com/troopsupport.

CACI Awarded $49 Million Contract to Help U.S. Navy Provide Operational Support for Federal Bureau of InvestigationFirst Prime Contract With Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Charleston Provides FBI With Systems Testing, Operational Continuity, and IT Engineering Support Through SeaPort II Contract Vehicle

ARLINGTON, Va., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc announced today that it has been awarded a $49 million prime contract by the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in Charleston, SC to help the Navy provide operational support to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The award, which has one base year and four option years, was made through the SeaPort II contract vehicle. CACI's primary role is to assist the Navy in providing the FBI with systems testing, operational continuity, and information technology engineering support. The award substantially increases the scope and value of CACI's SPAWAR support in Charleston as well as the company's assistance with FBI operations nationwide. It is the first prime contract that SPAWAR has awarded to CACI's Charleston facility.

CACI will help the Navy use its wide-ranging experience to provide and integrate support for the FBI with systems testing support to enhance surveillance capabilities, provide continuity of operations in the event of both man-made and natural emergencies, and deliver critical support for high-end IT systems engineering.

This gives CACI in-depth experience in the client's technical environment and user requirements to support this current work and enable the Navy to seamlessly comply with the requirements of the FBI. With CACI also fulfilling contracts with SPAWAR at multiple locations nationwide, the Navy has a single source for proven capabilities in surveillance and monitoring systems, continuity management, and IT engineering support to serve the needs of the Charleston command and the FBI.

According to Bill Fairl, CACI's President of U.S. Operations, "We are very pleased with this new and continuing work for the Navy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The award provides critical support and resources for the FBI and significantly expands opportunities for CACI within the Charleston Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center."

CACI President and CEO Paul Cofoni said, "With this important award, SPAWAR has recognized the fine support provided by CACI in other Navy installations throughout the country and selected us as a prime. We are proud that our support will ultimately help the FBI in its ongoing efforts to protect our nation from the threat of global terrorism."

HealthEast Care System Selects Concuity's ClearContracts to Increase Contract Analysis and Negotiation Capabilities and Improve Revenue Cycle Management

VERNON HILLS, Ill. and DUBLIN, Ireland, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Concuity, a healthcare division of Trintech and a leading provider of contract management and revenue recovery technology ("Peer Reviewed by HFMA") and services, today announced that HealthEast Care System has selected ClearContracts(TM) to enhance contract negotiation capabilities and improve the recovery of underpaid claims.

HealthEast Care System operates a number of hospitals and other health care facilities throughout the St. Paul, Minnesota, metro area, including three general acute care facilities -- St. John's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and Woodwinds Health Campus. A fourth hospital, Bethesda Hospital, provides inpatient rehabilitative care. HealthEast Care System also features a number of primary care and specialty clinics located throughout its service area.

"The calculations performed in our existing system for expected reimbursement weren't always accurate. We've also relied heavily on spreadsheets to track the appeal and recovery process. We wanted a more reliable solution for analyzing agreements, negotiating new contract terms, and recovering underpaid claims," said Aaron Bloomquist, System Director Managed Care for HealthEast Care System. "With ClearContracts, we'll have a tool that will help us better analyze the results of managed care agreements and hold payers accountable to the terms of those agreements."

The specialized collection workflow technology of ClearContracts combined with our Revenue Recovery Services enable healthcare organizations to accelerate collections, identify real variances, and improve cash flow and revenue. Collectors can effectively prioritize accounts, build cases for appeal, manage the appeal process, and collect more of what's owed.

"We're pleased to have HealthEast Care System as a client. They share the goal of other established healthcare providers -- they want to improve financial and operational performance," said Ed Gallo, EVP for Concuity. "Our revenue cycle management solutions and integrated best practices allow healthcare providers across the country experience significant increases in annual revenue. Providers that practice proper contract revenue cycle management can recover a majority of claims and avoid underpaid claims altogether."

Macy's Hails Earth Day with SunPower Solar Dedication in San JoseSunPower is Installing Solar Power Systems on 28 Macy's Stores Statewide, including 12 in Northern California

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- In anticipation of tomorrow's worldwide celebration of Earth Day, Macy's and SunPower Corporation , the San Jose-based manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, are dedicating a 307-kilowatt solar power system at the Macy's store at Oakridge Mall in San Jose. SunPower has partnered with Macy's to design and install solar power systems on 28 stores across California, including 12 in Northern California, and also assisted the retailer in improving the energy efficiency at the stores.

The solar dedication is part of Macy's Turn Over A New Leaf campaign that kicked off yesterday. The awareness campaign is designed to support, educate and inspire sustainability and eco-friendly practices in everyday life. In addition to special promotions, merchandise and in-store events, Macy's will donate all of the proceeds from ticket sales for its national charity days -- One Good Turn -- on April 26th and 27th to the National Park Foundation.

The solar power system on Macy's San Jose store is expected to generate 404,000 kilowatt hours per year. It will reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 514,000 pounds, which is the equivalent to planting 1590 acres of trees over the 30-year lifetime of the system.

"Through commitment and innovation, I believe that we will lead the way to solving the world's environmental challenges," said San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed. "The partnership between Macy's and SunPower is a great example. Together, the two companies are demonstrating how deploying clean renewable technology is fiscally and environmentally responsible. San Jose stands to benefit from their leadership and vision."

Macy's has committed to installing over 8 megawatts of solar power systems on its California stores. At most of the stores, including the San Jose location, Macy's will purchase the generated electricity from a third-party financier under the SunPower Access(TM) power purchase agreement (PPA) program. MMA Renewable Ventures, LLC, will finance, own and operate solar power systems at all stores for which PPA arrangements have been finalized. Delivering predictably priced electricity with no upfront system cost, MMA Renewable Ventures' PPA services provide Macy's with immediate savings and a long-term hedge against rising peak power prices.

Combining solar power with energy efficiency upgrades such as high-efficiency lighting and HVAC systems and energy management systems is expected to reduce energy consumption by more than 24 million kilowatt hours annually, achieving an estimated 40 percent reduction in Macy's demand for utility-provided energy in those stores. Carbon dioxide emissions are estimated to be reduced by more than 195 million pounds over the lifetime of the systems, which is the equivalent of removing 1,144 cars from California's highways each year.

"Macy's is committed to supporting the development of clean technologies, and reducing our energy consumption," says Macy's, Inc. Vice Chair Tom Cole. "We are proud to join the fight against greenhouse gas emissions in California because we believe a successful business is dependent on a healthy environment."

"SunPower is proud to partner with Macy's to deliver innovative solar technology, efficiency upgrades and affordable financing solutions to support this unprecedented 28-store commitment," said SunPower Chief Executive Officer Tom Werner. "We applaud Macy's for their forward-thinking approach to environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility."

In addition to San Jose, other Northern California locations scheduled to receive SunPower solar power systems include Concord, Cupertino, Daly City, Fresno, Newark, Richmond, San Rafael, Santa Clara, Stockton and Sunnyvale. Completion of all the solar power installations is expected by the end of this year.

Lodgian Unveils Nation's First Hotel to Fully Integrate Ultra Fast 802.11n Wi-Fi Technology from Ruckus WirelessCrowne Plaza in Melbourne, Florida Keeps Guests Unplugged but Well Connected, Everywhere

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus Wireless announced today that Lodgian, Inc. , one of the largest independent owners and operators of full-service hotels in the United States, has become the first hotel operator to deploy the next generation of Wi-Fi technology, known as 802.l1n (http://www.ruckuswireless.com/), throughout its Crowne Plaza Beach Oceanfront Resort Hotel in Melbourne, Florida.

The Ruckus Wireless 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi (http://www.ruckuswireless.com/) network was designed and deployed by One Media Wireless, one of the premiere technology integrators within the hotel industry.

The integration of the new 802.11n Wi-Fi (http://www.ruckuswireless.com/) standard by Lodgian signals a major market shift toward deploying faster and more reliable Wi-Fi services that can be used as a high-speed utility and not just merely a means to provide convenient connectivity.

"The entire market is captivated with 802.11n because it promises such a major boost in performance and range," said Selina Lo (http://www.ruckuswireless.com/), president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless. "But vendor promises haven't matched user reality. In turn, users have been anxiously awaiting a cost-effective system that can be used within a production environment. That day is here."

Lo noted that first generation 802.11n products remain expensive and cumbersome to deploy while delivering a fraction of the expected performance. But advances made in the area of Smart Wi-Fi, when applied to 802.11n, solve many of these problems.

802.11n is the newest IEEE Wi-Fi standard designed to deliver access speeds five times faster, up to 300Mbps , than previous generations of Wi-Fi technology that top out at 54Mbps. The integration of 802.11n within the Crowne Plaza in Melbourne solves two big industry problems experienced by hotel guests around the world: erratic Wi-Fi performance and spotty coverage.

Moving From Good to Great Wi-Fi

"Everyone can relate to some horrendous Wi-Fi experience at a hotel," said James MacLennan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Lodgian. "Today, it's all about leveraging technology to improve the guest experience. Lodgian is taking the lead in deploying the next generation of Wi-Fi that delivers what guests are craving: fast and reliable connectivity everywhere."

Lodgian has retrofitted the entire Crowne Plaza property with new Smart Wi-Fi 802.11n products and technology from Ruckus Wireless. Forty Ruckus ZoneFlex 7942 802.11n access points and a Ruckus ZoneDirector 1050 have been deployed to blanket the 270-room hotel, which includes two multi-story towers, restaurants, meeting space, and outdoor swimming, patios and beachfront areas. The new Ruckus 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi network replaces an older 3Com 802.11g network.

The new Ruckus 802.11n Wi-Fi system enables a raft of new applications for Lodgian guests at the Crown Plaza resort such as a multimedia gaming, digital signage, video surveillance, and voice over Wi-Fi.

"The Crowne Plaza Melbourne was the perfect fit for deploying 802.11n," said Mike Gompers, president of One Media Wireless. "Their younger, family- oriented demographic want to use Wi-Fi for anything and everything - from interactive video gaming to Internet Access on the beach, even voice calls on their dual mode phones wherever they might be. If you don't have the coverage and performance to serve these applications, you have unhappy guests and frustrated general managers."

Smart Wi-Fi Eliminates 802.11n Complexity and Guesswork

For Lodgian, the benefits of deploying Ruckus 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi were eliminating the guesswork and complexity. "This system has been designed to take the guesswork out of deploying the next generation of Wi-Fi," said Gompers.

"You don't have to worry about the underlying technology serving the network architecture requirements with the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Platform. The ZoneFlex APs simply attach to the network, download the pre-staged configuration and are completely managed by the ZoneDirector. Though the underlying technology is rocket-science; configuration, deployment and software are managed by the ZoneDirector, allowing integrators to focus on design and coverage requirements. This is essential to mass adoption of 802.11n and wireless in general."

Gompers noted that Lodgian is also using Smart Wi-Fi to support secure point of sale applications throughout the property.

According to Lodgian's MacLennan, long-range Wi-Fi signal coverage and reliability enable Lodgian to use the network to deliver a wider range of services to guests throughout the property. "Having the killer performance, coverage and reliability opens the door to an almost endless range of services we can provide our guests."

"While 802.11n provides a lot more bandwidth, it's the integration with Smart Wi-Fi that makes the difference. If the reliability isn't there, performance and range are compromised," concluded Gompers.

Smart Wi-Fi Helps Deliver the Promise of 802.11n

Smart Wi-Fi technology is a patented new technique that focuses Wi-Fi only where it's needed while steering signals around interference as it occurs. This is particularly important for 802.11n that uses multiple Wi-Fi radios and signals to improve performance. Smart Wi-Fi is the only technology that controls the form and direction of Wi-Fi signals, adapting them to real-time changes in the Wi-Fi environment. This enables more consistent 802.11n performance and signal reliability at range.

Over the last 90 days, Lodgian has upgraded 32 of its hotel properties to Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi and is scheduled to continue the roll-out of 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi to select properties throughout the United States.

Based in Sunnyvale, California, Ruckus Wireless is a next-generation Wi-Fi company credited with pioneering "Smart Wi-Fi" technology. Named a 2007 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, Ruckus Wireless was formed in 2004 at Sequoia Capital.

Atmel's CAP Customizable Microcontroller Named 2007 Product of the Year by EPC MagazineOne of Leading Products Selected by Editors and Industry Experts

ROUSSET, France, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(R) Corporation announced today that its CAP(TM) customizable microcontroller has been named as one of the Products of the Year by Electronic Products China (EPC) Magazine. The selection was made by a panel of editors and industry experts based on the criteria of significant advancements of a technology or its application, innovative design and substantial achievement in price/performance.
