Lexmark to discuss green printing strategies at fourth annual Ziff Davis CIO Summit, May 6-9

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rising paper consumption in the office is an increasing concern for environmentally conscious businesses and government agencies. Many organizations are implementing print reduction and paper recycling strategies. But are they going far enough to truly make a difference?

That's the topic of Lexmark International, Inc.'s message to participants at the 2008 Ziff Davis CIO Summit at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Half Moon Bay, Calif., May 6-9.

In its presentation, "Printing, Profits and Sustainability: The Triple Imperative," Lexmark will explore the close link between paper usage, business performance and the environment, with some surprising observations from the company's research and close work with clients around the globe.

With help from Lexmark, more and more organizations are realizing that technology projects that are good for the environment can also be good for business. Nowhere is that more apparent than with printing, where rising page volumes have long been viewed as onerous cost centers. Today, they are increasingly viewed as corporate social responsibility issues as well.

Many businesses are doing something to reduce paper usage, but not all print reduction initiatives are equally effective. While every step forward helps, dramatic improvements are possible -- and at a cost far less than many organizations may anticipate. In fact, by embracing proven best practices, new technologies and some simple, common sense strategies, businesses and agencies can often print less, save money and improve employee productivity at the same time.

"Improved processes mean businesses can print less, which translates to less impact on the environment and a better bottom line," said Marty Canning, Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "Lexmark's focus is helping clients understand the true drivers of unwanted printing, as it relates to their unique circumstances. We can provide them with the technology, and more importantly the strategies needed to improve business results and minimize the impact of printing on the environment."

Lexmark's presentation will be available online as part of the Ziff Davis CIO Digital Summit, which is a half-day recap of the keynote sessions and panel discussions on Thursday, May 22. More information is available at http://www.ziffdavisciosummit.com/.

Hifn Writes Prescription for Protecting Patient Health Care Records With Advanced Encryption TechnologySecure iSCSI Appliances Enable Out of the Box HIPAA Compliance

LOS GATOS, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hifn(TM) , the catalyst behind storage and networking innovation, is validating its commitment to the security and data protection requirements of the health care IT industry by headlining two health care technology events this month, including a featured speaking role by the company's CTO.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070723/CLM036LOGO)

A recent series of high-profile leaks at the UCLA Medical Center of the medical records of celebrity patients highlights the vulnerabilities of medical facilities that lack proper information security. It also illustrates the security challenges that health care CIOs are struggling with as the industry transitions from paper-based to electronic patient records while complying with HIPAA and other regulations.

"An increased role for IT has long been proposed as the solution to skyrocketing health care costs, but that is only the starting point in transforming the industry," said Russell Dietz, Hifn Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "There needs to be closer collaboration between the IT vendors and solution providers and health care IT professionals to help them cut through all the noise and create medical technology solutions that adequately address their business and patient care objectives while complying with government regulations for privacy and the security of patient records and other business critical information."

This week, Hifn is a sponsor of the CIO Healthcare Summit at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Marina del Rey, where 60 of the country's top Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers and Chief Information Medical Officers from leading health care organizations such as the Tenet Healthcare Corp., Shriners Hospitals and the Baylor College of Medicine will meet to discuss their specific IT requirements. The sessions will focus on the CIO's security and data protection challenges in the areas of Electronic Health Records, Backup and Disaster Recovery, HIPAA compliance and how Hifn's Swarm secure iSCSI storage appliances can address those issues to help the CIOs improve their IT ROI and deliver improved patient care through increased productivity in an industry known for legendary inefficiency. The three-day CIO Healthcare Summit program will consist of panel discussions, themed interactive workshops, case studies and networking sessions.

Then on May 20, Dietz will be a featured speaker at the Towards the Electronic Patient Record (TEPR) conference at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center. Dietz will be speaking as part of the Security Measures for your Organization track with a presentation on "A Risk Management Approach to Data Security -- Moving beyond FUD." Dietz will address the confusion faced by many health care IT professionals who are attempting to wade through the claims of almost 1300 companies currently selling products to address some aspect of the health care data security problem. Virtually all of them sell using fear, uncertainty and doubt to scare customers into buying their products. As a result the whole realm of data security is more infused with smoke than light. Dietz will propose a better methodology for purchasing data security technology and introduce techniques of risk management necessary to achieve data security and availability goals within limited budgets.

Hifn's Swarm Series of secure iSCSI storage appliances are the industry's only iSCSI storage arrays that provide HIPAA-compliant storage right out of the box based on the Swarm's built-in hardware data encryption. The unique features built into the Swarm storage appliances deliver a simple-to-install and easy-to-use scalable solution to address the privacy and security demands of health care organizations ranging from small medical offices to hospitals.

Autodesk Unveils Autodesk Seek Web Service for AEC IndustriesAutodesk's New Web Services Empowers Architects, Engineers and Designers to Search, Select and Specify Building Products from within their Design Applications

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Driving the move to integrate rich information directly into building designs, Autodesk, Inc. today announced the launch of Autodesk Seek, a groundbreaking web service that allows architects, engineers and designers to search, select and specify building products using Autodesk's advanced search technology.

Autodesk Seek provides a consolidated online source for building product design information and delivers information-rich results -- including relevant design files in multiple formats from within the customer's design applications. Design files can be easily dropped directly into the designer's building model or drawing, reducing the need to recreate individual components in the design. This embedded search functionality is now available in the 2009 U.S. versions of Autodesk's Revit-based software applications, as well as AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD MEP. The web service is also available through standard browsers at http://seek.autodesk.com/.

"Autodesk Seek enhances designers' productivity by helping to eliminate the pain of looking for specific building product information and their associated design files, which are often scattered across various sources such as catalogs and online libraries," said Jeff Wright, director, Content Solutions, at Autodesk. "With this new Autodesk web service, architects, designers and building engineers can now more easily focus on what they do best -- creating innovative building designs."

Today's announcement around search reinforces Autodesk's push to empower architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms by delivering new applications and technology solutions that build on the foundations of building information modeling (BIM), and that support its customers' need to create, predict and deliver their ideas in increasingly more optimal and more effective ways.

The Autodesk Seek web service connects the millions of designers in the AutoCAD and Revit communities with the building products of manufacturers who understand the value of making their product information available to designers at the right time and the right place -- in the design software application. Benefits to users and suppliers include:

-- Access -- Designers working in AutoCAD and Revit-based applications can quickly access specifications and design files among a universe of building products and insert them directly into their drawings or building models. -- Precision -- Designers can find what they are looking for based on key product characteristics (e.g., dimensions, materials or "green" performance criteria) through the Autodesk Seek parametric search engine. -- Standards -- Autodesk Seek supports industry data standards and design formats, allowing architects and engineers using any design package to access a breadth of product information from their desktops. -- Reusability -- Designers can find and re-use models rather than searching for information each time they begin a new project. Manufacturers' product information investments can be reused in other online initiatives.

Autodesk Seek is slated to be showcased at AIA Expo2008 in Boston, May 15-17, at Autodesk booth #20121.

In the months ahead, Autodesk Seek content and categories will continue to expand to support new industries and products, with the addition of further building product manufacturers (BPMs) and partners.

First American's Suit-on-Note Scoring Module Quantifies Optimal Resolution Projections for Investors and Servicers- Leveraging First American Data, Analytics and Technology Builds an Accurate Debtor Rating System for Investor Action and Servicer Prioritization -

DALLAS, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First American Subordinate Lien Outsourcing, a member of The First American Corporation family of companies, today announced the debut of its Suit-on-Note Scoring Module (SONSM Score). Used in conjunction with the determination of property equity and understanding the borrower's economic situation and intent, the SON Score helps servicers and investors ascertain the optimal resolution for servicing subordinate lien assets.

The SON Score provides an analysis of a respective borrower's current real estate assets as well as a determination of a loan's eligibility for the Suit- on-Note process, which is a different legal cause of action than a typical foreclosure action.

The SON Score is designed as a complement to the suite of scores and products provided by First American, including the recently released Second Lien Collectibility Score (SeLi SM Score), which utilizes an analytical risk versus reward rating system to quantify the actual potential of a second lien.

"The focus of all collection efforts is to determine debtor willingness and capacity to make payments on the debt," said Jason Pinson, president of First American Subordinate Lien Outsourcing. "The SON Score helps the servicer define the capacity to pay by looking for indications and actions on the debtor's other assets in a quick and efficient manner."

COMFORCE Corporation Announces First Quarter 2008 Results- Company reports record first quarter revenues- Net income increases to $992,000- Interest expense continues to decline

WOODBURY, N.Y., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- COMFORCE Corporation , a leading provider of outsourced staffing management services, specialty staffing and consulting services today reported results for its first quarter ended March 30, 2008. Revenues for the quarter increased 6.1% to $150.2 million, compared to revenues of $141.6 million for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in revenues was principally due to the continued growth in the Company's Human Capital Management Services segment, consisting of PRO(R) Unlimited, where revenues increased $9.0 million, or 10.4% over the first quarter of 2007. Additionally, PRO reported gross profit for the quarter of $12.5 million, compared to $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2007. Staff Augmentation revenue decreased by $316,000 due primarily to a decrease in services provided to Technical Services customers which was partially offset by an increase in services provided to Healthcare Support customers.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2008 was $23.8 million, or 15.8% of sales, compared to $22.1 million, or 15.6% of sales for the comparable period last year.

COMFORCE's operating income for the first quarter was $3.5 million, compared to operating income of $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Interest expense was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2007. This decrease was due principally to the Company's repurchase and redemption of $11.2 million of 12% Senior Notes during 2007.

The Company recorded income before income taxes of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to income before income taxes of $1.6 million for the same period last year.

COMFORCE recognized a provision for income taxes of $800,000 in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $652,000 in the first quarter of 2007.

COMFORCE reported net income of $992,000, or $0.04 per basic and $0.03 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $914,000, or $0.04 per basic and $0.03 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2007.

Comments from Management

John Fanning, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of COMFORCE, commented, "We are very pleased to have reported record revenues for our first quarter, following the record revenues achieved for the full year of 2007. PRO Unlimited continues to contribute significantly to our results, having increased revenues by 10.4%, or $9.0 million in the quarter. At the same time, PRO's gross margin rose by $1.1 million to $12.5 million, compared to last year's first quarter. We were also pleased to have reported an increase in Healthcare Support services revenues.

"Management remains committed to further reducing our public debt, and as previously announced on April 23, 2008 we repurchased approximately $6.5 million of our 12% Senior Notes. This latest repurchase is expected to reduce the Company's interest expense by approximately $500,000 annually, based on current interest rates. Our public debt now stands at $5.2 million.

Mr. Fanning concluded, "We remain optimistic about COMFORCE's prospects for the balance of 2008, especially as it relates to PRO."

RSA, the Security Division of EMC, Delivers Standards-Based Approach to Help Simplify ComplianceNew research paper describes the benefits of leveraging standards-based security frameworks in streamlining IT compliance management; RSA enVision(R) solution is engineered to deliver new pre-packaged reporting bundles for ISO 27002

BEDFORD, Mass., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC , today announced the findings of a new research paper that details the benefits organizations may gain -- including reduced costs and improved security -- by implementing a standards-based framework of security controls. The paper also details the ability of comprehensive security frameworks to help companies more easily comply with a variety of security requirements handed down by regulatory bodies, industry groups, partners, customers and internal policies.

In addition, RSA announced new reports within the RSA enVision(R) security information and event management solution that are designed to enable organizations to more easily report on key aspects of the ISO 27002 standard -- a global code of practice for information security management which is useful in defining an effective set of best practice security controls as part of a compliance framework.

In March 2008, RSA commissioned Michael Rasmussen, industry analyst and President of Corporate Integrity, to undertake a research paper based on what it means to develop a "sustainable and cost-effective IT compliance program." The key findings of this project are that the typical approach to compliance -- responding on a regulation-by-regulation basis without an integrated IT compliance management program -- escalates costs, reduces visibility of the control environment overall, wastes resources, and leads to unnecessary complexity, inflexibility, vulnerability and exposure.

"A proactive approach to IT compliance allows organizations to look confidently to the future while also mitigating risk in the course of business," said Mr. Rasmussen. "An effective IT compliance program should be centered on a comprehensive framework, based on industry-wide standards -- such as ISO 27002."

Security Frameworks-Based Programs to Simplify IT Compliance

As organizations worldwide struggle to both comply with a plethora of compliance requirements and improve enterprise-wide security, a framework-based approach founded upon best practices and controls helps customers to build a proactive security program that may effectively break down the walls that often isolate organizational compliance silos. By driving compliance holistically, rather than on a requirement-by-requirement basis, companies may reduce costs by both avoiding redundant technology controls and easing the process of managing compliance. In addition, leveraging international standards such ISO 27002 as the foundation of an IT security and compliance program helps organizations align efforts to comply with key portions of many global regulations, including: the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley, the European Union's Data Protection requirements and regional data privacy laws.

"Our forward-thinking customers are using framework-based security and compliance programs to cost-effectively satisfy multiple requirements and manage information risk," said Steven Preston, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing at RSA, The Security Division of EMC. "This goal can be achieved through the application of a consistent, holistic set of repeatable, scalable, enterprise-wide controls, which are centered upon recognized IT security best practices."

RSA Solutions to Establish Security Frameworks for Simplified Compliance

RSA's portfolio of technology solutions offers key security controls that help organizations establish frameworks based upon global best practices and standards. Key controls delivered by RSA's solutions include:

-- Authentication: -- RSA SecurID(R) Authenticators and RSA(R) Authentication Manager comprise the market-leading solution for providing strong authentication of users accessing network resources remotely. The RSA SecurID solution is also designed to integrate with hundreds of network devices and software platforms to enable strong authentication for administrative access, and to enable strong user authentication to operating systems. RSA SecurID technology also is engineered to support efforts to control access to mobile devices, such as laptops. In addition, RSA SecurID technology is built to enable organizations to restrict access to sensitive data by de-provisioning the RSA SecurID credential. -- In addition, RSA(R) Digital Certificate Solutions, RSA(R) Smart Cards and RSA(R) Adaptive Authentication are built to provide a variety of flexible controls for effective user authentication. -- Data Loss Prevention: -- RSA(R) Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Suite is designed to provide unified, seamless data policy orchestration across the enterprise, allowing customers to discover and monitor sensitive data and apply the appropriate enforcement mechanisms to secure sensitive data across the IT stack.

U.S. Department of Transportation Rule Allows Passengers to Carry Methanol Fuel Cells and Cartridges Onboard Aircraft

PASADENA, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VSPC) announced that a key US federal regulatory ruling now fully enables the business strategy for its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (DMFCC) subsidiary. On April 30, 2008, the Federal Register published the final rule from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), US Department of Transportation. PHMSA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations to permit certain fuel cell cartridges and fuel cell systems designed for portable electronic devices to be transported by passengers and crew in carry-on baggage on board passenger-carrying aircraft. Methanol fuel cells and cartridges are explicitly approved. DMFCC is an active member of the US and international committees that developed the safety standards that led to this approval, and is a member of the US Fuel Cell Council which played a pivotal role in adoption of this rule in the US.

Fuel cell cartridges and fuel cell systems are an emerging energy technology developed to provide a more efficient, longer-lasting and renewable power source for electrically operated equipment. This final rule prescribes regulations for transporting fuel cells containing liquids, including methanol and formic acid, which meet certain performance and consumer use standards. PHMSA issued this final rule in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The effective date of these amendments is October 1, 2008, and voluntary compliance is authorized as of May 30, 2008.

Micro fuel cells are expected to power portable electronic devices such as notebook computers and mobile phones. Disposable fuel cartridges provide the fuel for these fuel cells which could power a notebook computer for up to 10 hours, and a mobile phone for up to three weeks. DMFCC is a leader in the liquid fuel cell cartridge design, manufacturing and distribution business. The fuel cartridges are disposable like AA batteries and represent a recurring revenue stream for DMFCC. In contrast to batteries, cartridges are made of recyclable materials.

VIASPACE and DMFCC CEO, Dr. Carl Kukkonen, states, "Major electronics OEMs are pursuing methanol fuel cells for their electronic devices, and fuel cell powered notebook computers have been demonstrated by companies such as Samsung and Toshiba. These companies are developing their own fuel cells. DMFCC has developed the disposable fuel cartridges that consumers would purchase in the aftermarket to power these devices. This ruling by the Department of Transportation now allows passengers to bring fuel cell powered electronic devices and spare fuel cell cartridges on board commercial aircraft in their hand checked baggage."

In a separate press release, VIASPACE recently announced the successful collaboration of DMFCC and its manufacturing partner, the SATO Group, in delivering sample methanol fuel cell cartridges and valves to Samsung SDI. DMFCC used its expertise in cartridge design and safety qualification, and the SATO Group manufactured the cartridges and valves that were successfully integrated with Samsung SDI fuel cells in a portable electronics application.

DMFCC and SATO Group are positioning themselves to capture a significant portion of the estimated multibillion-dollar fuel cell cartridge market that has now been approved by this final rule from Department of Transportation.

ATLANTA, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- myPhotopipe.com, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MPPC), a web-based online provider of digital photo processing and related services, today announced the unveiling of a series of customer education products themed "A Beautiful Photograph is Just the Beginning."

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080325/CLTU023)

The new initiative follows a period of rapid growth in the Company's new customers and first-time purchasers, and a period of extensive new product development. "We needed to connect the dots," stated Pete Casabonne, President of myPhotopipe.com, Inc. "We've been in a fairly intense period of new product introductions and new customer growth, which means we need to make sure the breadth of our products is known to our customers, and that our customers are knowledgeable about our products. With the Internet and new digital tools, this is not your grandmother's 4X6 print anymore."

Since January 8, 2008, first-time customers and new customer registrations have increased from 17,480 to 19,645, for a net gain of 2,165, or an average of 18.5 first-time users a day. This represents the highest growth rate in the Company's history. At the same time the Company has increased the number of SKUs across almost every product line, introduced a new line of mounted products, introduced two new collections in its greeting card line, and updated the look of its exclusive multi-photo print templates.

"We service photographers across the nation, so we get to see what's happening, and when we see the smallest spike behind a style or a print size, we try to quickly translate that into a form that all of our photographers can access," continued Casabonne. "Today's photographers are demanding more from their online photo processors. They want ways to add drama to an image or turn a print into a work of wall art, but they don't want to wrestle with an alligator to make that happen. 'A Beautiful Photograph is Just the Beginning' tells our customers that there are many things they can do with that photograph beyond the ordinary 4X6 and 8X10."

The new initiative consists of a series of scheduled package inserts and forced updates to users of the Company's Remote Order Entry System software.

BMP Sunstone Receives SFDA Acceptance for Enablex(R) Clinical Trial

A Milestone Reached to Commercialize Leading OAB Drug in China

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., May 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BMP Sunstone Corporation ("BMP Sunstone" or the "Company") today announced that its Clinical Trial Application ("CTA") for Enablex(R) (Darifenacin) was officially accepted by China's State Food & Drug Administration ("SFDA"). CTA acceptance is a key SFDA requirement prior to pursuing a clinical trial and, ultimately, completing commercialization of a pharmaceutical product in China. The Company hopes to begin the clinical trial in the first half of 2009, and estimates that receipt of a market license could occur sometime in 2011.

Enablex(R) is a prescription medicine used in adults to treat symptoms of urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency related to an Overactive Bladder ("OAB"). Global annual sales of OAB medication are estimated to be USD$2.25 billion. In China, OAB afflicts an estimated 24-29% of the population over the age of 24, or over 200 million people. However, the treatment rates are historically low, with less than 15% of OAB sufferers in China seeking treatment.

"Today's announcement speaks to our unique ability to commercialize leading pharmaceutical products in the Chinese market," stated David Gao, Chief Executive Officer of BMP Sunstone. "CTA acceptance is one key step toward reaching marketability and we remain excited about the growth prospects for Enablex(R) in China. The addressable market for OAB medicines in China is a huge potentially opportunity and we believe we have the necessary resources to meet this developing market demand with Enablex(R)."

In November 2007, BMP Sunstone signed an exclusive agreement to register, market and distribute Enablex(R) in the People's Republic of China with Shanghai Novartis Trading Limited. Under the terms of the agreement, once approved, BMP Sunstone will have the exclusive rights to sell, market and distribute Enablex in China for ten years.

Gao continued, "Enablex(R) is a great example of our ability to target under-penetrated areas of China with drugs that improve the overall health of the population. We intend to continue to bring high value, niche-focused prescription drugs, with rigor and prudence, to the growing Chinese healthcare market."

About BMP Sunstone Corporation

BMP Sunstone Corporation is a specialty pharmaceutical company that is building a proprietary portfolio of branded pharmaceutical and healthcare products in China and is pursuing partnerships with other companies seeking to enter the Chinese pharmaceutical market. It is the only U.S. public company to offer industry partners a comprehensive suite of market-entry services in China that includes pre-market entry analysis, clinical trial management, product registration, market research, as well as pharmaceutical marketing and distribution.

As a community bank, CNB is well aware of the challenges of growing its customer base and opening new markets in the face of the expanding presence of national banks and non-traditional financial services organizations competing for its market share. However, as an innovative community bank, it has also recognized an opportunity to use technology to open new or untapped market opportunities and develop new revenue streams for the bank.

A long-time Postilion customer, CNB Enid is already deploying Postilion's ATM Driving and Card Management solutions today, which have helped the bank to offer FDIC-insured prepaid card products, along with card issuing and card processing, to both retailers and financial institutions that wish to enter the stored value card market.

CNB also benefits by having a central banking portal for configuration, monitoring, and reporting across all channels -- giving CNB the ability to better service, market, and cross-sell to new and existing clients.

CNB's installation will begin in May, with plans to take the following solutions live throughout the year:

-- Postilion Retail Internet Banking -- a comprehensive Internet banking service for retail customers, including account balance inquiries, transfers, bill payments, ATM personalization, and user alerts. -- Postilion Business Internet Banking -- a full-featured Internet banking service for business customers, including a sophisticated set of account, transfer, payment, payroll, wires, and self-service functionalities, secure protection against fraudulent activities, and targeted reporting. -- Postilion Voice Banking -- the full range of voice banking functionality, such as online and offline transaction processing, call flow management, and voice driver management.

"As a community banker for more than 30 years, it is my experience that you must be willing to innovate in order to remain competitive or you end up sitting on the sidelines," said Brud Baker, President and CEO, Central National Bank. "We have an excellent relationship with Postilion and they have enabled us to continually deliver leading-edge solutions to our markets. We are confident that Postilion is the right partner to take our self-service banking solutions to the next level, empowering our customers with the right products and services where and when they want them."

"Banking and payments will continue to converge and Postilion is well positioned to help community financial institutions deliver the products and services needed to compete in this dynamic market," said Pierre Naude, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Postilion Americas. "We are excited about the opportunity to help Central National Bank of Enid be among the first community banks to deliver integrated self-service solutions to provide a truly pervasive financial services experience for its customers."

About AtriCure, Inc.

AtriCure, Inc. is a medical device company and a leader in developing, manufacturing and selling innovative cardiac surgical ablation systems designed to create precise lesions, or scars, in cardiac, or heart, tissue. Medical journals have described the adoption by leading cardiothoracic surgeons of the AtriCure Isolator(R) bipolar ablation system as a treatment alternative during open-heart surgical procedures to create lesions in cardiac tissue to block the abnormal electrical impulses that cause atrial fibrillation, or AF, a rapid, irregular quivering of the upper chambers of the heart. Additionally, medical journals and leading cardiothoracic surgeons have described the AtriCure Isolator(R) system as a promising treatment alternative for patients who may be candidates for sole-therapy minimally invasive procedures. AF affects more than 5.5 million people worldwide and predisposes them to a five-fold increased risk of stroke.

The FDA has cleared the AtriCure Isolator(R) system, including its Isolator Synergy(TM) ablation clamps, and AtriCure's multifunctional pen and Coolrail(TM) linear ablation device, for the ablation, or destruction, of cardiac tissue during surgical procedures. Additionally, the FDA has cleared AtriCure's multifunctional pen for temporary pacing, sensing, stimulating and recording during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias. To date, the FDA has not cleared or approved AtriCure's products for the treatment of AF. AtriCure's left atrial appendage clip system has not been approved for commercial use. It is currently being used in clinical evaluations in Europe.

JDSU Unveils CWDM 'Channel Checker' to SmartClass Family of TestersFocus on Core CWDM Test and Measurement Requirements Enables Increased Field Technician Efficiency

MILPITAS, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced the release of the OCC-55 Smart Optical Channel Checker for CWDM networks. The OCC-55 is an innovative selective power meter for CWDM applications that provides the market with a low-cost alternative to optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs). The OCC-55, developed for CWDM network installation, maintenance and surveillance teams, is specifically designed for CWDM system installation, upgrades and troubleshooting.

CWDM technology enables network operators to cost-effectively increase bandwidth on existing fiber networks to meet growing demand for IP-based triple play services.

CWDM systems are mainly being deployed in metropolitan areas where network operator customer groups are densely concentrated and can be reached within a reasonable system link span without the need of optical amplifiers. Because of this, field technicians can no longer afford to carry a sophisticated full-band OSA to every location in order to verify the presence and the power level of an individual CWDM channel. The compact and inexpensive OCC-55 meets the market requirement for a CWDM analyzer and equips every technician with the ability to check for CWDM channels.

"With the OCC-55 CWDM channel checker, our customers have, for the first time, a CWDM selective measurement tool that enables a broad range of field technicians," said Enzo di Luigi, general manager in JDSU's fiber optics Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "The OCC-55 has the best price-to-performance ratio on the market and advanced ease-of-use features that provide workforce efficiencies for today's heavily burdened fiber technicians."

The OCC-55 operates in the 1260 to 1620 nm range and deploys a USB interface (both USB host and client available with the OCC-55) that, when used in combination with the free-of-charge OFS-355 software, provides customized reports that are easily downloaded from the OCC-55 to a PC. The OCC-55 can analyze all 18 CWDM wavelengths in terms of the individual power level and then display the measurement results either in a "bar graph" or "tabular" mode.

Mediware Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2008 ResultsQuarter Marked By 17 Net New Sites And Progress With Key New Product Launches As Company Moves Beyond Blood System SunsetTeleconference Call Scheduled For 10:00am EDT Today

LENEXA, Kan., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mediware Information Systems, Inc. , a provider of ClosedLoop(TM) clinical systems for blood and medication management, reported total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 of $9,839,000 compared to $11,057,000 in the year-ago quarter. Net income for the quarter just ended was $316,000, or four cents per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $831,000, or ten cents per fully diluted share, in last fiscal year's third quarter.

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008, Mediware reported total revenue of $29,242,000 compared to $30,794,000 in the comparable period in fiscal year 2007. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $442,000, or five cents per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $1,900,000, or twenty-three cents per fully diluted share, in the comparable period of fiscal year 2007. The nine month results for fiscal 2008 included a first quarter $225,000 non cash write-off of certain deferred tax assets and a cash charge of $377,000 associated with the organizational restructuring announced in July 2007.

"Our results for the third quarter improved over the current year's second quarter, with a 10 percent gain in revenue and an eight cent increase in EPS," said Kelly Mann, Mediware's president and chief executive officer. "Our teams are executing plans to build a strong foundation for future growth through new product launches, the integration of IMS products, and delivering on customer service excellence."

Mann continued: "We are pleased to report that the BloodCenter of Wisconsin, one of the nation's leading independent blood centers, has adopted our integrated blood center technologies with a strategy that combines our existing LifeTrak(R) software with IMS' enhanced products to improve collections and efficiency throughout the entire process from blood donor recruitment to hospital distribution."

Mr. Mann said Mediware's UK medication management business, JAC, also contributed to the quarter and continues to be successful winning new accounts and expanding product penetration with existing customers. Domestically, Mediware added 12 new medication management sites.

Among the quarter's highlights: -- BloodCenter of Wisconsin committed to be the first to adopt Mediware's integrated blood center technology strategy. -- Addition of 17 new domestic customer sites. -- Free cash flow, excluding the IMS acquisition, was $6.8 million for the first 9-months of fiscal 2008, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. -- Service and support revenues increased to $7.2 million primarily as a result of increased implementation services associated with blood management sales from previous quarters. -- Service and support backlog remains strong at approximately $24.5 million. -- Mediware executed a stock buy-back program, repurchasing 549,342 shares for $3.3 million. -- The launch plan for the new biologics management product is on track for a June 2008 release, and product teams are actively marketing and raising awareness.

"We projected 2008 to be a year of transition as we reset sales pipelines and introduce new products to drive growth," said Mann. "Through the introduction of MediREC(TM), BloodSafe(TM), BiologiCare(TM), and our integrated blood center solutions, we are well positioned for the coming quarters. Overall, I am pleased with our progress and feel confident we are doing the right things for the company, our customers and our shareholders."

Brocade Delivers Industry's Highest-Performing Distance Extension Solutions for Mainframe EnvironmentsUnique Acceleration Software Improves Data Protection and Offers Unprecedented Flexibility for Storage Placement, Enabling Greater Data Center Consolidation and Improved Efficiencies

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brocade(R) , the leader in data center networking solutions that help enterprises connect and manage their information, today announced new capabilities for its distance extension products that enable mainframe enterprise customers to better connect, protect, and access their business-critical data across virtually any distance.

Brocade Accelerator for FICON(R) is the latest performance-enhancing product in the Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF) architecture, a framework that helps organizations to transform their data center infrastructures for maximum performance, flexibility, and investment protection. The new solution, available as an optional software license, leverages proven, fourth-generation technology as well as innovative advanced networking capabilities, data management techniques, and protocol intelligence to speed up mainframe-connected disk and tape operations over distance.

"The mainframe remains a critical backbone element in many enterprises' datacenter environments as they work to support ever higher levels of transactions on this secure and efficient computing platform," said Richard Villars, Vice President of Storage Systems research at IDC. "Products like Brocade's Accelerator for FICON will play an important role in helping enterprises efficiently grow their mainframe infrastructure while ensuring high levels of data availability and security."

Because business continuity and global data mobility continue to grow in importance for today's organizations, the ability to share and replicate critical information over distance is playing an increasingly larger role. Mainframe architectures have evolved to improve performance, but often require specialized distance extension solutions to meet the requirements of today's global enterprises. Brocade Accelerator for FICON -- in conjunction with the Brocade 7500 and 7500E Extension Switches and Brocade FR4-18i SAN Extension Blade -- enables the industry's highest performance and most robust extension solutions over hundreds or thousands of miles, while delivering local-like performance.

Verizon to Expand Its Revolutionary, All-Fiber Network and FiOS Internet, TV Services in Hampton Roads, Va.Company to Begin 2008 Network Upgrades in Hampton, Portsmouth, Poquoson, York County; Continues Work in Chesapeake, Newport News, Virginia Beach

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon is ramping up its all-fiber-optic network upgrade in the Hampton Roads area, bringing the benefits of the fastest Internet speeds on the market and superior picture quality to more consumers.

Verizon, the company that is building the nation's most advanced digital all-fiber-optic network straight to customers' homes, has begun its all-fiber construction in parts of Hampton, and the company plans to begin upgrading facilities in the coming months in Poquoson, Portsmouth and York County. Verizon also continues its build in Chesapeake, Newport News and Virginia Beach.

"FiOS Internet and TV services have been an extraordinary hit with consumers in Hampton Roads and across Virginia, and more residents will be able to join the FiOS family in 2008," said Robert W. Woltz Jr., president of Verizon Virginia. "Verizon is offering consumers a superior choice by providing the best network available at a competitive price for voice, data and video services."

The network uses hair-thin strands of fiber and optical electronics to directly link homes and businesses to Verizon's network and replaces the traditional copper-wire connections for voice, high-speed Internet and TV.

Verizon must obtain cable franchises from government officials in Hampton, Portsmouth, Poquoson and York County in order to offer FiOS TV service. Verizon currently has franchises and is offering FiOS TV in Chesapeake, Newport News and Virginia Beach, as well as other municipalities in Virginia.

Customer Feedback about FiOS Services Is Positive

Customer reaction to Verizon's FiOS services has been very positive, with broadband and TV subscribers rapidly increasing in markets in Virginia and across the country.

At the end of March 2008, Verizon was marketing its FiOS Internet service to more than 7.9 million customers in more than 2,000 communities in 17 states. Also at the end of March, Verizon's FiOS TV service was available to about 6.5 million premises in 13 states: California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia.

And customers are responding to the superior reliability, quality and speed of FiOS services. At the end of the first quarter 2008, the company had 1.8 million FiOS Internet connections nationwide, an increase of 262,000 during the quarter. Verizon added a net of 263,000 new FiOS TV customers in the quarter, with a total of 1.2 million FiOS TV customers at the end of the quarter.

Superior Network, Awesome Services

Companies that install all-fiber networks gain other advantages in addition to new and superior services for customers. For example, fiber offers reliable service in stretches of wet weather that can affect copper- based networks.

"Verizon's 100 percent fiber-optic network is technically superior to other communication platforms because it offers faster data speeds than those currently available, as well as voice and video capabilities," said Ty Stephenson, Verizon's vice president of customer operations in Virginia. "This new network will have greater reliability and lower maintenance costs. By deploying fiber to homes and businesses in our territory, Verizon is transforming its wireline business into 21st century technology."

Verizon offers four tiers of FiOS Internet service for consumers:* -- 5 Mbps (megabits per second) downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. Suited for Internet surfing and basic computer functions. -- 15 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. Appealing to families that have multiple computers and various needs such as media downloads and the ability to access or share large files. -- 30 Mbps downstream and 15 Mbps upstream. Designed for communications-intensive power users with significant bandwidth needs, such as telecommuters or work-at-home households and avid online gamers. -- 15 Mbps downstream and 15 Mbps upstream. This service provides upload speeds for sending large files up to 19 times faster than cable's typical upload speed of about 768 kilobits per second (Kbps).

In addition, FiOS TV offers a broad collection of all-digital programming, 27 high-definition channels in the Hampton Roads market, more than 10,000 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.

Verizon has developed attractive service bundles featuring FiOS Internet and FiOS TV products, where they are available. For example, a three-service package featuring Verizon's Freedom Essentials unlimited calling plan, FiOS Internet Service at 5 Mbps downstream and FiOS TV Premier is available for as little as $104.99 a month with a one-year commitment.

Fiber Network Construction Benefits Economy

The significant network transformation to all-fiber-optics has created jobs in Virginia. "In addition to the many benefits our customers enjoy - superior, reliable FiOS services at great prices - our fiber project has had a positive impact on Virginia's economy," said Woltz. For example, more than 420 Verizon employees provide FiOS technical support for customers at the company's Fiber Solutions Center in Hampton, which opened in March 2005.

*NOTE: Actual (throughput) speeds will vary.

Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving more than 67 million customers nationwide. Verizon's Wireline operations include Verizon Business, which delivers innovative and seamless business solutions to customers around the world, and Verizon Telecom, which brings customers the benefits of converged communications, information and entertainment services over the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network. A Dow 30 company, Verizon employed a diverse workforce of approximately 232,000 as of the end of the first quarter 2008 and last year generated consolidated operating revenues of $93.5 billion.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Nexicon (Pink Sheets: NXCO) is pleased to announce the signing of another major independent motion picture studio to its GetAmnesty client portfolio.

In this new deal, more than 350 titles will be monitored by Nexicon's anti-piracy technology platform. Nexicon will retain 50% of all settlement fees generated via GetAmnesty.

Chief Financial Officers Cite Data Quality/Information Integrity as Top Technology Issue for Second YearNeed for Corporate Performance Management Tools Increases

FALLS CHURCH, Va., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- "Improving data quality/information integrity" retained its position as the most pervasive critical technology concern among CFOs (according to 42 percent of respondents) in the 10th annual Technology Issues for Financial Executives survey. The survey was conducted by Computer Sciences Corporation in association with Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF) -- the research affiliate of Financial Executives International (FEI) -- and FEI's Committee on Finance & Information Technology.

While improving data quality remained a critical technology issue for CFOs, the need for better and more timely analytical information to support decision-making and monitor performance, or corporate performance management (CPM), continues to be an acute business issue. This year, 68 percent of respondents (compared to 61 percent last year) reported they plan to invest in CPM-based technologies.

"High-quality data and its related processing are preconditions to reliable reporting and analysis, but the CPM tools themselves are also key," said Jerry Boltin, a senior partner in CSC's Global Business Solutions and Services Group. "While most respondents have made and are continuing to make substantial investments to improve their analytical information environments, their information needs continue to grow in order to keep pace with an increasingly complex and competitive market."

In this year's survey, nearly 70 percent of respondents (an increase of eight percentage points from last year) reported that information integrity was negatively impacting business performance. However, less than half of respondents reported they have formal, ongoing programs to monitor and report on information integrity. Even among organizations with more than $5 billion in annual revenue, only about seven in 10 have existing programs.

"Given the importance of information integrity and the broadly shared belief that the lack of information integrity is negatively impacting business performance, it's somewhat surprising that more organizations don't already have improvement programs and measurement mechanisms in place," said FEI President and Chief Executive Officer Michael P. Cangemi.

The survey also revealed that CFOs are concerned with "achieving the expected benefits from information technology investments." A new topic on this year's survey, this matter ranked second overall, with 34 percent of respondents rating it as a critical issue.

Information technology (IT) spending is expected to increase somewhat in the next year, continuing a trend of modest increases during the past several years. Consistent with previous survey results, all forms of in-sourcing (shared services) and outsourcing are expected to continue to grow. Payroll and IT activities continue to be the most commonly outsourced activities at about 50 percent and 24 percent, respectively. Continuing a trend from the 2007 survey, the direct use of offshore providers is increasing, but at a relatively modest rate, and the amount of offshore IT support is still relatively low comparatively.

Information security continues as an area of concern for financial officers but has slipped from the number-one position it held in 2005 and 2006 to sixth position this year. Although only about one in five CFOs report being "highly satisfied" with their security programs, three out of four report making improvements in this area during the past year. However, despite this improvement, the frequency of major security incidents is up with about 12 percent of respondents reporting one or more major occurrences. "Major" incidents were defined as causing a day or more of business interruption and/or adverse publicity.

The survey also examined a variety of additional pertinent issues, including financial executives' views related to financial management, IT strategies, use of technology applications and management of IT, among others.

The 10th annual survey reflects the participation of 629 financial officers who are FEI members. Approximately 75 percent are CFOs for their organization. All company sizes and industry sectors were represented. The vast majority of respondents, 83 percent, represent U.S. entities. Another 15 percent represent Canadian organizations, and two percent represent non-North American entities.

CCID Consulting: Making Fortune in China's Mobile Internet

BEIJING, May 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CCID Consulting, China's leading research, consulting and IT outsourcing service provider, and the first Chinese consulting firm listed in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: HK08235), recently released its article on mobile Internet.

At the beginning of April, some messages show that China Mobile will form a new affiliate to independently operate its mobile Internet business. The new company plans to operate Fetion, real name communities, cable advertisement, wireless advertisement, and the 139 mailbox. China Mobile's action produces great effort in industry, especially for mobile Internet service providers.

Mobile Internet's market share is increasing year by year. In Japan and South Korea, Mobile Internet users accounting for one third of the total Internet users.

On the other hand, in response to the integration of cable and wireless, the whole mobile value-added industry chain is becoming more and more diversified. All global major carriers hope to make fortune in the mobile Internet market. With the development of new wireless communications technology and the expansion of mobile communications, especially that of value-added chains, the structures of traditional service providers and content providers are changing. More and more traditional manufacturers with superior resources and large customer resources enter this field, such as powerful media organization, financial institution, Internet giants, including SNDA, Tencent and Sina. The second largest carrier KDDI in Japan cooperates with Google to develop mobile search business, which promotes the increase of users and advertisement; South Korea government actively promotes the opening up of mobile Internet; based on its powerful brand products and operation mode, Apple cooperates with American largest carrier AT&T to develop mobile Internet business.

Looking at the development of global mobile Internet industry, especially in the countries that is more advanced in the wireless infrastructure, such as Japan and South Korea, China mobile Internet industry is in its initial stage.

Japan is the country that is highly developed in mobile Internet technology. Its mobile Internet users have accounted for one third of the total Internet users. Japanese largest carrier NTT DoCoMo launched i-mode which based on HTML in 1999, which combines traditional Internet and mobile communications network, and drive the mobile Internet application and popularity in Japan.

South Korea has a high utilization rate of mobile Internet and 40% of mobile Internet users. South Korea's largest mobile carrier SKT launches mobile Internet service brand- NATE, which integrates cable with wireless. NATE protects service providers' enthusiasm and competitive justice, which ensures industrial healthy development. Aiming at the convergence of mobile Internet and traditional Internet in recent years, South Korea government actively promotes the overall open of mobile Internet, which result in mobile Internet completely breaks away the control of mobile carriers and form a new market similar to traditional Internet.

CCID Consulting believes that China's telecom carriers' move to set foot in the mobile Internet field will bring comprehensive and profound effort to the Internet industry.

Firstly, the competitive environment of mobile Internet industry will change. Traditional carriers undertake mobile Internet administrator. The relationship of service providers and carriers is cooperation. Once carriers set foot in mobile Internet value-added business, it will form a competitive relation between carriers and traditional service providers. Because carriers master the operation resources of mobile Internet, this competitive relation seems imbalance, which will affect the justice of competition and the development of the mobile Internet industry.

Secondly, mobile Internet industry will form new cooperation pattern. Carriers don't have mature operation experience of Internet value-added service. For carriers that want to enter the mobile Internet value-added service industry, they have to cooperate with traditional portal websites, learn the portal websites' management mode of value-added service so as to realize a win-win situation. At the same time, traditional portal websites hope to exploit carriers' operation advantages so as to expand their business fields.

Finally, mobile Internet service providers will undergo structural changes. Mobile Internet is an industry that is full of opportunities. Traditional carriers won't satisfy network operation, but they will try their best to occupy the dominant position of the whole mobile Internet industrial chain. This will affect service providers, and directly lead to some service providers' disappearance which has weak anti-risk ability and single service.

The healthy development of China's mobile Internet industry is to depend on a harmonious and just mobile Internet competitive environment. Meanwhile, because mobile Internet industrial chain trends to multiple, whether carriers could gain favorable profit, it has to be proven by the market.
