STMicroelectronics Dramatically Reduces On-Resistance for Fast-Recovery MOSFETs, Delivering All-Round Energy SavingsSecond-generation Super-Junction FDmesh(TM) architecture targets applications requiring high power density and ultra-low losses

GENEVA, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , a world leader in semiconductor devices for power applications, has announced a new family of fast-recovery MOSFETs that combine enhanced switching performance with on-resistance improved by more than 18% over existing devices, to meet the needs of efficiency-focused applications, including renewable-energy controllers.

The first device in the new Super-Junction FDmesh(TM) II family is the STW55NM60ND, a 600V N-channel MOSFET offering the industry's best on-resistance of 0.060 Ohms for fast-recovery MOSFETs in the standard TO-247 package. The peak drain current of 51A allows one MOSFET to replace multiple components in converters for space-constrained applications such as telecom and server systems. Combined with savings in thermal management due to reduced losses, this allows designers to significantly increase power density.

To deliver these performance enhancements, ST has improved its FDmesh super-junction architecture by combining a vertical structure with the conventional strip MOSFET, which also features a faster and more rugged intrinsic body diode. In addition to reducing on-resistance and recovery time, further improvements increase switching efficiency and save driving losses by reducing gate capacitance, gate charge and gate input resistance. The devices also have high dv/dt rating for higher reliability during switching, particularly in bridge-type topologies including Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) under light-load conditions.

Future devices to be introduced using this architecture will provide additional package options and current ratings, combined with the industry's best on-resistance for fast-recovery MOSFETs in each respective package. These include the STP30NM60ND, rated to 25A drain current and achieving 0.13 Ohms on-resistance in the TO-220 package. The STD11NM60ND for applications up to 10A has 0.45 Ohms on-resistance in the surface-mount DPAK package. ST will progressively introduce additional devices in the FDmesh II series, providing an extensive range of voltage and current ratings in industry-standard power packages.

The STW55NM60ND is now available in production volumes at $10 in quantities of 1000 units and higher.

Celsia Announces First Vapor Chamber Heat Sink for Memory Modules, Developed for Mushkin's New Ascent Line of High Performance MemoryUltra-Wide Copper Vapor Chambers Combined with High Conductivity Aluminum Keep the Most Powerful Memory Up to 21 Degrees Celsius Cooler in Extreme Usage Situations

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Celsia Technologies (BULLETIN BOARD: CSAT) (http://www.celsiatech.com/), a leader in cooling solutions for the PC, telecommunications infrastructure, and LED lighting industries, announces that Mushkin will be cooling its latest high performance Ascent Redline and Ascent XP memory modules using eVCI (enhanced Vapor Chamber Interface) heat sinks by Celsia.

"Our new Ascent line represents the pinnacle of memory technology, so we wanted the thermal solution to be equally as cutting edge," said George Stathakis, President of Mushkin, Inc. "As far as we know, this is the first time memory has been cooled using vapor chambers. As a result, memory modules have been tested to remain up to 21 degrees C cooler using eVCI technology than comparable modules without a heat sink*. Moreover, the thin, low profile design of all Ascent products gives enthusiasts the ability to fill all memory slots."

For the Mushkin eVCI cooling solution Celsia used its patented NanoSpreader technology, a copper encased two-phase vapor chamber into which pure water is vacuum sealed. The liquid is absorbed by a copper wick and passed as vapor through a micro-perforated copper sheet where it cools and returns as liquid to the wick. NanoSpreader vapor chambers can be made thinner and wider than heat pipes and can be attached directly to the heat source, increasing thermal performance of high heat flux cooling solutions by as much as 30% over solutions using heat pipes.

"NanoSpreaders are the ideal solution for cooling Mushkin's most powerful memory products," explained George Meyer, Celsia's CTO. "For this application, we designed them to directly touch 95% of the memory chip surface area, allowing heat to be quickly and evenly spread to a high conductivity 6063 aluminum alloy encasement where it is dissipated into the surrounding air."

Pricing and Availability

NanoSpreaders are available now, starting at under $2.00. To obtain application specific pricing, submit the quote request form found at http://celsiatech.com/quote.asp.

Mushkin Ascent line with eVCI technology is available now from leading retailers. A list may be found at http://www.mushkin.com/doc/sales/.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools Moves to the Head of the Class With SAPFourth Largest School System in the United States Selects and Implements SAP(R) ERP to Streamline Operations and Improve Transparency and Efficiency to Enhance Student Services

ORLANDO and MIAMI, Fla., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP Public Services, Inc., a subsidiary of SAP AG , today announced that Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) has selected SAP's flagship enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, SAP(R) ERP. M-DCPS joins an increasing number of school systems investing in modern information technology to better manage their operations and improve public education. Implementation of the software began in September 2007. The district-wide business transformation project, called BOSS: Business Operating Solutions for Schools, aims to improve administrative processes and to enable the district to reallocate resources to schools and students. As a result, school administrators will have more time to focus on adhering to the highest level of academic standards so that students can become more productive, well-rounded and responsible citizens. With this selection, Miami-Dade becomes the fifth school district in Florida to run SAP solutions, joining the growing number of top K-12 school districts running SAP nationwide. The announcement was made at the co-located events SAPPHIRE(R) 2008 Orlando, SAP's international customer conference and the ASUG (America's SAP Users' Group) Annual Conference, both being held in Orlando, Florida, May 4-7.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a)

As the fourth-largest school district in the United States, M-DCPS has 342,000 students, more than 50,000 employees across 850 work locations, and maintains an annual budget of over $6 billion. In today's educational environment, a school system such as M-DCPS needs a current, integrated financial and human resource system in order to improve decision-making and provide accurate and timely data about student academic progress. M-DCPS legacy systems were labor intensive, difficult to navigate, costly to maintain and risk-abundant due to their age, growing obsolescence and the diminishing knowledge-base of IT staff able to work with the old code.

Given the challenges, M-DCPS officials committed to modernizing their IT systems by leveraging SAP ERP to increase transparency and accountability. This helps to ensure that funds are spent to hire more teachers and allow for smaller classes, to update text books, to better maintain buildings and to fund programs such as music, sports and the arts. Additionally, by eliminating isolated pockets of information, M-DCPS can spur collaboration among principals, teachers and administrators to help ensure that activities and resources are aligned to achieve the district's mission of providing the highest quality education to its students.

Using SAP software, M-DCPS will integrate financial, procurement, human resource and payroll business processes, adopting best business practices to ensure efficiency, effectiveness and high ethical operation standards. The new system will allow school administrators to more easily recruit, develop and retain high-performing, diverse and motivated faculty and staff. It will also provide greater employee access to personal information and self-service options for benefits and payroll, allowing staff to spend less time on cumbersome paperwork and more time focused on student achievement. Processes like time and attendance recording or the management of travel expenses, formerly paper-based, will be replaced by electronic workflow and approval processes. Streamlined procurement, budget and asset management capabilities will also help M-DCPS reduce costs and reallocate funds at the classroom level.

"The Miami-Dade County public school system has already been called a model for the state of Florida and can serve as a lighthouse implementation for K-12 institutions across the nation," said Patrick Bakey, president, SAP Public Services, Inc. "A solid education is one of the most valuable tools we can give our youth. SAP already works with five of the top 10 K-12 customers in the United States, and we are proud to now partner with M-DCPS as it strives to enhance student experiences through technological advancement."

SAP Announces Next-Generation Support OfferingSAP(R) Enterprise Support Attains Rapid Adoption by SAP Customers;Meets Evolving Customer Needs With Holistic Support Model, Crossing Boundaries to Support Optimal Viability of a Solution Landscape

ORLANDO, Fla., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP AG today announced growing market adoption for the company's new support services offering, SAP(R) Enterprise Support, which has signed nearly 200 customers since its launch in February 2008. SAP Enterprise Support meets the evolving needs of customers by supporting a company's mission-critical business processes and heterogeneous software environment. The ongoing growth of SAP's robust product offerings and mass adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA) have challenged traditional support models. No longer are bug fixes and maintenance sufficient. SAP Enterprise Support provides companies with a holistic offering that helps to reduce the risk and maximize the value that customers receive from their IT investments. The announcement was made at the co-located events SAPPHIRE(R) 2008 Orlando, SAP's international customer conference, and the ASUG (America's SAP Users' Group) Annual Conference, both being held in Orlando, Florida, May 4-7.

"Companies are adopting service-oriented architectures to run ERP and business software applications designed to enable greater business process flexibility," said Matt Healey, senior research analyst, IDC. "The convergence of SOA and flexible business process management calls for a higher level of support than has been typical in the past. Today, solution support must ensure coverage of mission-critical business process and a heterogeneous software environment. SAP Enterprise Support can fulfill these increased needs."

Evolving IT Landscapes Require Holistic Support Model

IT departments are under increased pressure to better meet and support the needs of the business. In particular, IT organizations are faced with the key challenge of minimizing system downtime and maintaining a stable core while implementing and managing differentiating composite applications, involving both SAP and non-SAP solutions. IT organizations that can efficiently manage a flexible infrastructure are better positioned to be a strategic partner to the business.

SAP Enterprise Support was launched earlier this year to address the needs of these evolving landscapes. It delivers support beyond a single element of the landscape in order to help customers operate all solutions vital to their business. SAP Enterprise Support addresses continuous innovation and investment protection so that customers can successfully deliver mission-critical business processes. The offering provides standardized and integrated solution lifecycle management and facilitates the implementation and adoption of enhancement packages, support packages and technical upgrade capabilities. In this way, it makes ongoing maintenance and upgrading much easier. An integrated quality process across all technology stacks and code bases helps to ensure support for the entire SAP platform and beyond.

"With SAP Enterprise Support and its holistic application and lifecycle management, we had the right support solution from the beginning," said S.R. Reddy, assistant vice president of IT, UTI Asset Management Company Limited. "This helped us to build up our software landscape based on best practices and defined standards to achieve successful solution operations at lower costs. The close collaboration with SAP makes it valuable for us."

SAP Enterprise Support Enabled by End-to-End Solution Operations

By facilitating end-to-end solution operations, SAP Enterprise Support also manages the business process flexibility resulting from a service-oriented IT strategy. The industry-leading standards, tools and processes that comprise end-to-end solution operations give customers the ability to manage change and integration across their entire business network -- all by addressing challenges with clearly defined interfaces to both service providers and standardized and integrated support processes. With end-to-end solution operations support, which can include non-SAP products, customers benefit from increased business process availability, performance, data consistency and transparency.

SAP Enterprise Support is delivered via specific components that are designed to address the increased needs of multifaceted systems -- from design of support to ongoing support and upgradability.

-- Mission-Critical Support -- Keeps core mission-critical applications running with continuous quality checks for technical risk analyses and continuous improvement, 24X7 access to SAP support advisory center with direct communications, leading-edge service-level agreements, and on-demand support integration to facilitate consistent collaboration among customers, partners and SAP. -- Global Support Backbone -- Utilizing the enterprise edition of the SAP(R) Solution Manager application management solution, customers have all methodology processes and tools for quality management and integration validation. SAP Solution Manager facilitates support for distributed systems with functionality covering all key aspects of solution deployment, operation and continued improvement. As a centralized, robust solution, SAP Solution Manager combines tools, content and direct access to SAP and partners to increase the reliability of solutions and lower total cost of ownership. -- Run SAP Methodology -- SAP's proven best-in-class operations methodology, Run SAP, is built upon SAP standards for solution operations, which help IT and business process experts harness their IT landscapes and better implement their SOA strategies. The new standards for solution operations are mapped out in the newest release of SAP Solution Manager. Via best practices, Run SAP structures and guides the implementation of these standards through a proven project management methodology.

"SAP Enterprise Support is a continuing demonstration of SAP's commitment to ensure success for each and every customer," said Uwe Hommel, executive vice president, SAP Active Global Support, SAP AG. "To achieve optimal business value out of an IT infrastructure, it is essential to be able to efficiently and thoroughly address the full end-to-end solution landscape. With SAP Enterprise Support, customers can rest assured they will receive expert support from solution build to implementation and ongoing operations -- for SAP and non-SAP solutions. As momentum in enterprise SOA continues to grow, SAP Enterprise Support is the best offering for customers looking to accelerate innovation with IT and enable differentiation to drive value to the business while reducing risk."

Run SAP Methodology Optimizes End-to-End Solutions Operations

To deliver on the promise of SOA, companies need to closely manage business processes and their integration along with software and system components. Run SAP is an operations methodology that was designed to complement SAP Enterprise Support. It enables companies to optimize the implementation and ongoing management of end-to-end solutions. SAP Services and SAP-certified partners offer a broad service portfolio to implement holistic end-to-end operations following the Run SAP methodology. The methodology helps customers past the go-live phase and focuses on application management, business process operations and administration. Its preconfigured operations approach bridges the gap between technical and functional components of an implementation and guides customers through solution assessment and scoping, defining operations, set-up of operations, handover to production, and operations and optimization of the system. Customers and partners can also enable their workforce with a specific education curriculum and certifications.

Data Domain Selects Xactly to Power Sales Performance ManagementWill replace cumbersome spreadsheet-based process with on-demand Xactly Incent solution

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Xactly Corporation, the leader in on-demand sales performance management, today announced that Data Domain, Inc. , the leading provider of deduplication storage systems for enterprise disk backup and network-based disaster recovery, has selected the Xactly Incent(TM) on-demand sales compensation management application. The fast-growing deduplication storage technology company will use Xactly Incent and the Xactly Modeling(TM) module to automate and streamline its incentive compensation management process end-to-end, thereby improving sales and service behaviors across approximately 275 users.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050906/SFF038LOGO)

"In replacing our currently manual, spreadsheet-based compensation management process with Xactly Incent, we gain a more accurate, economical and powerful means for incenting sales behaviors that support our strategic corporate objectives," said David Schneider, senior vice president, worldwide sales, Data Domain. "After a complete evaluation of both on-premise and on-demand compensation management applications, we chose Xactly Incent for what we believe is an all-around superior product offering -- including deep functionality, open application programming interfaces, and tight integration with salesforce.com's CRM application."

Xactly Incent is a 100-percent on-demand Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that enables sales and finance executives to design, implement, manage, audit and optimize sales compensation management programs easily and affordably. Xactly provides a number of complementary solutions to Xactly Incent, which can be added in a modular approach to enhance a company's investment in its sales performance management strategy.

Along with Xactly Incent, Data Domain also selected the Xactly Modeling module, which will enable sales and finance management to perform simulations on plans, plan changes and special incentive programs to gauge their effectiveness; create sales organization change models to predict their impact on incentives and cash flow; and run sales forecast scenarios for an accurate picture of commission expenses.

"Most companies today follow a spreadsheet paradigm that results in either simplifying or unnecessarily complicating their incentive programs. As a result, these programs are delivered without the benefit of real-time Web-based visibility, often leaving a company's sales force unmotivated and resulting in unpredictable sales," said Evan Ellis, senior vice president of worldwide operations, Xactly. "Rapidly growing companies like Data Domain can quickly benefit from replacing Excel with a sales performance management application such as Xactly Incent, enabling their incentive programs to be drivers of growth and profits."

SAP Ushers In New Era for Business Process ManagementNew SAP NetWeaver(R) Capabilities Strengthen SAP's Comprehensive Technology Platform OfferingSAP Community of 350,000 Business Process Experts Drives Best Practices and Success

ORLANDO, Fla., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP AG today announced plans for the release of SAP NetWeaver(R) Business Process Management and SAP NetWeaver(R) Business Rules Management. The addition of these planned capabilities will further establish SAP NetWeaver as the strategic platform of choice for customers that execute a service-oriented architecture (SOA) strategy. The new tools from SAP are aimed to provide the business process flexibility needed to enable customers to turn strategic business insight into real-world execution. A vital part of SAP's robust platform offering, SAP NetWeaver allows IT organizations to drive more value by providing the agility to quickly respond to requests from the business for new or adapted business processes. The addition of the planned capabilities will enable business process experts to design, model and immediately execute new or adapted business processes without having to develop code. The SAP NetWeaver technology platform and its full set of capabilities allows companies to accelerate the consolidation of their IT landscapes, enabling them to enjoy new levels of the business process flexibility used to drive innovation and competitive advantage. The announcement was made at the co-located events SAPPHIRE(R) 2008 Orlando, SAP's international customer conference, and the ASUG (America's SAP Users' Group) Annual Conference, both being held in Orlando, Florida, May 4-7.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a)

"The planned addition of business process management tools to the SAP NetWeaver technology platform will further establish SAP NetWeaver as the platform of choice for companies committed to a strategic approach to IT," said Klaus Kreplin, corporate officer and member of the Executive Council, head of SAP NetWeaver Technology, SAP AG. "The SAP NetWeaver technology platform and SAP's leading end-to-end business processes provide a consolidated IT landscape outfitted with the best tools to enable innovation, ultimately leading to differentiation and a competitive edge for our customers. SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management will be another innovative offering to further enable users to make changes that are aligned with business needs and ultimately drive business success."

Essential Components Enable Optimized Process Development and Execution

SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management, developed at SAP under the codename "Project Galaxy," is part of SAP NetWeaver(R) Composition Environment and is planned to feature three major capabilities:

-- The process composer -- to model business processes based on the business process modeling notation (BPMN) standard and integrated into the Eclipse development framework together with a rules composer tool for modeling of business rules. -- The process server -- based on Java EE, to directly execute these process models, without requiring brittle translation steps between model and code ("round tripping") -- The process desk -- the process participants' interface to their assigned tasks, allowing interaction with the running process instances and other participants by means of forms, interactive screens and collaboration tasks

"Automation of complex, user-facing processes spanning various enterprise systems is a key requirement of every major project at Colgate," said Bora Uran, director, application architecture, Colgate. "SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management will offer an integrated modeling and execution environment that will improve the quality of interaction between business process experts and IT developers. With the addition of business process management, SAP NetWeaver is a more powerful and flexible platform on which to build composite applications that will increase the utilization of assets in our complete IT landscape."

Simplification, Rules Management and Immediate Execution Enable Differentiation and Innovation

For organizations looking to utilize technology to drive differentiation in the marketplace, business process management is a major factor in success. Many business processes are standardized across departments, regions and organizations. Business processes that differentiate a company from its competitors are highly customized and typically need to be changed or edited frequently to meet business needs. Creating unique, customized business processes to improve business performance and increased efficiencies is best achieved when companies combine the right mix of standardized, end-to-end core processes with flexible innovative tools that enable the creation of new processes that can be immediately executed and reused across the enterprise.

SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management is planned to provide customers a standardized, unified environment for the implementation and management of complex, multifaceted business processes focusing on four cornerstones:

-- Unified modeling -- In an Eclipse-based tooling environment, business process experts throughout the organization will be able to access a single version of a business process and edit and make changes without the danger of losing details in translation. -- Business rules management -- Built on Yasu Technologies' Quickrules technology acquired by SAP in 2007, SAP NetWeaver Business Rules Management, combined with SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management, is intended to provide the ability to refine rules by editing decision tables to directly impact the execution of composite processes -- all in a single user interface with no need to switch back and forth between tools, reducing errors. -- Immediate execution speeds time to value -- SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management will allow IT departments to accelerate implementation of innovative business processes and composite applications that in turn can result in value for the business. -- Built-in efficiencies via Enterprise Services Repository -- The Enterprise Services Repository of SAP NetWeaver enables users to easily track and identify ready-made process steps of SAP and non-SAP applications for reuse throughout the enterprise in the development of new business processes.

"As business process management is increasingly adopted by organizations as an important management practice, they're constantly looking for ways to better support process execution across people and applications," said Janelle B. Hill, research vice president, Gartner. "Integrated composition technologies, as part of a business process platform, are required to accelerate the successful management of agile business processes."

Further Strengthening the SAP NetWeaver Technology Platform

SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management and SAP NetWeaver Business Rules Management are planned to be available to ramp-up customers in Q3 2008 with general availability within the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment enhancement package 1 expected in early 2009. SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management further delivers on the SAP NetWeaver innovation road map (see April 24, 2007 press release titled, "SAP Unveils Road Map for Next Wave of SAP NetWeaver Innovations"). In the past year, SAP NetWeaver demonstrated increased adoption rates with more than 38,700 total SAP NetWeaver deployments and more than 100 percent revenue growth for 2007.

Business Process Expert Community Enables Business Process Management Collaboration

The design and modeling of differentiating business processes is unique to each company. However, the ability to access intelligence and best practices from a pool of experts in similar industries or organizations serves to further speed time to value for customers. Launched in late 2006 as part of the SAP community network, the SAP Business Process Expert community now totals more than 350,000 members sharing best practices across 28 special interest communities organized by 18 industries, business process management best practices, and solutions such as customer relationship management and governance, risk and compliance.

Within the community, SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management users can interact with peers around enterprise SOA and business process design, access resources and learning opportunities, and accelerate usage of business process management tools. Business Process Expert community members also collaborate and address issues and trends facing IT organizations, work together on definitions and implementations of new and cross-industry processes, and accelerate discussions around emerging topics and issues among fellow customers, partners and SAP.

"We are thrilled to be able to bring FiOS TV to residents in Lakeville," said Donna Cupelo, Verizon region president for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. "Since the launch of FiOS TV in Massachusetts last year, we are continuing our efforts to meet the consumer demand for cable TV choice."

FiOS TV is the company's new fiber-optic television service, which offers a better-quality picture, more high-definition and on-demand programs, and more reliable service at competitive prices.

Verizon currently offers FiOS TV in 69 Massachusetts communities (see list below) as well as other locations in New York, New Jersey, California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia.

"As a result of this new franchise, consumers in Lakeville will be able to choose their cable provider as easily as they choose their phone company," said Cupelo. "Competition drives innovation, value and service quality, and it puts the consumer in control."

Verizon is currently in negotiations with several other communities in Massachusetts to obtain additional franchises. For more information on the Verizon franchise process in the state, log on to http://www.verizon.com/ma.

Verizon research indicates 87 percent of Massachusetts residents favor more competition and choice for video services. Independent studies have shown that competition in the video market brings enormous benefits to consumers in the form of reduced prices, better packages and improved service.

The Lakeville franchise agreement contains provisions for the network's future growth; financial support and capacity for educational and government access channels; cable service to government buildings; and other important benefits to the town, including insurance, indemnification and enforcement protections.

"Verizon will compete aggressively for subscribers in Lakeville with our FiOS services, which are fueled by our lightning-fast fiber-optic network," Cupelo said. Verizon soon will begin its door-to-door sales campaign in Lakeville, explaining to local consumers the many advantages of FiOS TV.

Verizon is the first company to offer a fiber-to-the premises (FTTP) network, connecting homes and businesses directly to fiber optics on a widespread scale.

FiOS TV offers a broad collection of all-digital programming, 30 high-definition channels, thousands of video-on-demand titles, and more. Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen.

In addition to FiOS TV, Verizon's fiber network also allows the company to offer consumers and businesses high-speed FiOS Internet service at download speeds up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds up to 20 Mbps.*

* NOTE: actual (throughput) speeds will vary.

[FiOS TV is available in Abington, Acton, Andover, Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Boxborough, Boxford, Braintree, Burlington, Canton, Dedham, Dunstable, Framingham, Franklin, Georgetown, Hamilton, Hingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Ipswich, Lawrence, Lincoln, Littleton, Lexington, Lynn, Lynnfield, Malden, Marion, Marlborough, Marshfield, Mattapoisett, Medfield, Medway, Melrose, Methuen, Middleborough, Nahant, Natick, Needham, Newton, Norfolk, North Reading, Norwood, Reading, Rochester, Rockland, Rowley, Sherborn, Southborough, Stoneham, Sudbury, Swampscott, Tewksbury, Topsfield, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Walpole, Waltham, Wareham, Wayland, Wellesley, Wenham, West Newbury, Westborough, Westwood, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn.]

Manassas, Va., Residents to See More Choice, Competition as City Council Awards Cable Franchise to VerizonFranchise Covers 12,000 Households; Currently, More Than 1,100 City Households Can Order FiOS TV, the Only TV Service Delivered Over the Nation's Most Advanced, All-Fiber-Optic Network Straight to Consumers' Homes

MANASSAS, Va., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Manassas residents are a major step closer to having an innovative, reliable and competitive alternative for their cable television services, thanks to a unanimous vote by the City Council Monday evening (May 5) authorizing Verizon to offer its fiber-optic-powered FiOS TV.

FiOS TV offers consumers a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality from the only TV service delivered over the nation's most advanced all-fiber network directly connecting to millions of individual homes and businesses.

The 15-year cable franchise covers approximately 12,000 households in Manassas. Verizon currently offers FiOS TV to more than 1,100 city households and will make the service available to all households in Manassas within three years.

Verizon began offering FiOS TV in parts of Manassas in February under "ordinance franchise" rules, which are part of a 2006 law enacted to accelerate choice and competition for cable television services. The negotiated franchise approved by the City Council will be effective retroactively to Feb. 29, 2008.

"It's clear from the tremendous demand for FiOS TV that Virginians want choice and competition for their TV service," said Robert W. Woltz Jr., president of Verizon Virginia. "FiOS TV offers a clear, superior alternative to the incumbent cable provider -- powered by our lightning-fast fiber-optic network.

"Northern Virginia residents are saying 'yes' to FiOS TV in rapidly growing numbers, and we hope to increase those numbers even more as we build our all-fiber network in more of Manassas," Woltz said.

Manassas is among numerous Northern Virginia communities, including nearby Manassas Park and Prince William County, where the company's new television service is available.

Virginia residents who are FiOS TV-eligible have the option to trim their monthly bills by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet service and the Verizon Freedom Essentials unlimited calling plan, all for $104.99 a month with a one-year commitment. They also can add a Verizon Wireless calling plan for a Grand Slam of communications and entertainment services.

FiOS TV Service Highlights FiOS TV service highlights include: -- More than 200 all-digital channels available with FiOS TV Premier, the lead offer. -- A total of 30 high-definition channels in the Washington metro area market, with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound delivered over uncompressed signals. -- An industry-leading library of more than 10,000 video-on-demand titles each month, 70 percent of which are free. -- Channels grouped by genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming. -- An easy-to-use interactive programming guide that integrates HD programming, on-demand content and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience. -- Set-top boxes ranging from a standard-definition box for $5.99 per month to the Home Media DVR, featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. The recorder is bundled with Media Manager, a new feature that lets customers easily access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center where they look and sound the best. A standard definition Home Media DVR is $17.99 per month. -- FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.

Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market, making FiOS TV an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.

Sports fans subscribing to FiOS TV Premier in the Washington market will also receive a host of sports channels -- including Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN and MASN 2), several ESPN channels and the NFL Network -- at no extra charge.

Manassas consumers can check online at http://www.verizon.com/fios to see if FiOS TV is already available in their area, or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV becomes available. Customers also can call their local Verizon sales office or 888-GET FiOS (888-438-3467).

In addition to Virginia, Verizon currently provides FiOS TV in parts of California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Texas.

FiOS TV is delivered over Verizon's all-fiber-optic network, which brings the power and capacity of fiber optics directly into people's homes and has industry-leading quality and reliability. Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of uncompressed, high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. It also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 30 Mbps* (megabits per second) in the Washington metropolitan area and upload speeds of up to 15 Mbps, as well as high-quality voice services.

As a recent Veterinary College grad, you must help your Aunt Lucy heal a myriad of exotic animals and save the once world-famous Zoo Hospital from a businessman's bulldozer by attracting more visitors.

Zoo Hospital is the first game of its kind on Wii that lets players experience a veterinarian's job.

TRX Travel Analytics Carbon Emissions Calculator Named 'Best in the Market' by the Stockholm Environment InstituteTRX Partners with TerraPass to offer Airline Carbon Emissions Calculator through new Web Services Agreement

ATLANTA, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TRX, Inc. , a global technology company that develops and hosts software applications to process data records and automate manual processes, announced today that its Travel Analytics CO2 emissions calculator was named the best air travel CO2 emissions calculator by the Stockholm Environment Institute.

TerraPass Inc., a leading retailer and marketer of carbon offsets to individuals and businesses, will feature the TRX Travel Analytics CO2 emissions calculator on http://www.terrapass.com/ as part of an exclusive three-month agreement with TRX. Starting in mid May 2008, the CO2 emissions calculator will be available at TerraPass to anyone seeking detailed and accurate information on the carbon impact of air travel.

"Our CO2 emissions calculator leverages our leadership position in travel data by incorporating more data points than any other calculator in the industry," said Trip Davis, President and CEO of TRX. "Along with TerraPass, we have quickly established the lead and benchmark in the carbon emissions space for travel. The accolade from the Stockholm Environment Institute further establishes our credibility as the leader in converting travel data into actionable insights for our customers. The calculator and supporting analytics offers our customers the ability to accurately and effectively balance their carbon footprints."

As part of its Carbon Offsetting and Air Travel study, the Stockholm Environment Institute evaluated the industry's leading carbon emissions calculators and named TRX "Best in the Market" based on four primary considerations:

-- Provides the most in-depth information about the data sources and metrics used -- Offers extensive data sets and accounts for the largest number of parameters -- Updates the data sets regularly -- Distinguishes between different carriers, enabling travelers to choose the most efficient carrier ahead of time

The TRX Travel Analytics CO2 emissions calculator (http://carbon.trx.com/) assesses the amount of CO2 a company produces based on its specific corporate travel footprint. The sophisticated model matches detailed travel data from the corporation (such as arrival/departure cities, carriers, etc.) with worldwide flight schedules and aircraft information (the size and type of the plane, cabin information, etc.). Corporations are then able to use the calculator to learn how much CO2 its specific global air travel program has emitted, as well as how their program compares to industry averages. The model also allows companies to see which carriers are the lowest CO2 emitters for their travel footprint, providing them with tools to determine how changing their preferred carriers, or modifying their travel volume, would impact the environment.

"We are thrilled to join forces with TRX to offer our customers the very best flight calculator available," said TerraPass CEO Erik Blachford. "We are committed to delivering TerraPass members the most accurate possible carbon footprint calculation, and this partnership is a significant step forward."

About TRX

TRX is a global technology company. We develop and host software applications that process data records and automate manual processes, enabling our clients to optimize performance and control costs. We are a leading provider to the travel industry. We deliver our technology applications in an on-demand environment to travel agencies, corporations, travel suppliers, government agencies, credit card associations, credit card issuing banks, and third-party administrators. TRX is headquartered in Atlanta with operations and associates in North America, Europe, and Asia. Please visit the company's Website at http://www.trx.com/

About the Stockholm Environment Institute

The Stockholm Environment Institute is an independent, international research institute specializing in sustainable development and environment issues. It works at local, national, regional and global policy levels.
