High Schoolers Get College Ready With Pearson's MathXLStudents say MathXL Software Prepares Them for CollegePartnership with High Schools Brings College-Level Math to Classrooms

NEW YORK, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It is high school graduation season, and across America, many students who earn a diploma may find themselves arriving on college campuses in a few months lacking the skills they need to succeed at college-level work. The data says it all: One study finds that only 34 percent of high school graduates are actually prepared for college, and one-third of students find themselves doing remedial work once they get to campus. Yet 85 percent of today's fastest-growing jobs require some type of higher education.

At Louisiana's West St. John High School, a small-town school located about 25 miles up the Mississippi River from New Orleans, math teacher Shannon Smith focuses on getting her students ready for college. Smith's students are over an hour away from Louisiana State University, but they're doing the same math that's taught at LSU using Pearson's MathXL software.

As the linked video shows ( http://www.pearsoned.com/ednews/may08pages/mathxl.htm ), Smith says her students are more engaged in their learning and doing more practice problems using this computer-based math learning tool. And Smith's students say they believe they're much better prepared for college.

According to LSU Pre-Calculus Math Coordinator Phoebe Rouse, who helped create a pilot program to bring LSU's math course to high schools using MathXL, "The beauty of MathXL is that it doesn't really matter where the student is when they're working the problems ... Wherever they are, as long as they have Internet access, they can access MathXL and do their work."

These high school students spend only a short amount of time in a classroom listening to a traditional lecture. Rather, they spend most of their class time in the math lab using the software to actively work on math problems.

Students in the program can earn college credit if they pass the final exam and gain admission to the university. "The students take the same homework, quizzes, tests and final exam that we do right here at LSU, but they never leave their high school and they use MathXL to do this," Rouse says.

Both teachers and students say they like how the software is personalized and adapts to suit individual learning styles. Math teacher Jamie Colombo of Live Oak High School in Denham Springs, La., says her students get more individual one on one attention, which keeps both advanced and struggling students engaged in math.

At Baton Rouge's McKinley High School, math teacher Bobby Stecher says his students benefit from being exposed to college-level material. "They've gained a lot of content knowledge, and they've learned how to be independent. And I think there are a lot of carryover skills for college classes, not just in math but for English or reading or any course that uses an online component ... I think they'll have an advantage," Stecher says.

SonicWALL Sports New SSL VPN LookSecurity vendor releases firmware 3.0 for its SSL VPN products

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SonicWALL, Inc. , a leading secure network infrastructure company, today announced the release of flexible new enhancements to its SSL VPN product line, making it even easier for small to mid-size businesses to use and manage their secure remote access and technical support.

The new 3.0 firmware release for the SonicWALL(R) SSL-VPN 2000 and 4000 platforms streamlines remote access administration with a more intuitive interface and builds upon the recent successful launch of SonicWALL(R) Virtual Assist clientless remote support module with improved features that increase IT staff productivity and decreases time-to-resolution for incidents.

SonicWALL's SSL VPN is really a fantastic device," said Ben Gray, Director of IT at Palm Beach Tan. Gray uses a SonicWALL SSL-VPN 2000 with Virtual Assist to remotely deploy computer systems to new franchises. "Anything related to computers out in the stores is our responsibility -- voice, data and the POS systems. The new features have made remote deployment of franchisees way more flexible. It's a huge time saver for us, bottom line."

With this enhanced platform release, customers benefit from easier-to-use remote technical support using new enhanced hot keys such as the ability to instantly launch a real-time chat session with a technician during a support session. Customer experience is also improved by more flexible accommodation of a wide range of computer displays.

Technicians can leverage new shortcuts to instantly initiate chat, transfer files, or launch the customer's start menu or task manager. In addition, there exists a new quick-diagnostic utility that provides instant insight into the customer's computer configuration which may significantly decrease time-to-resolution of an incident. Technicians can be automatically notified by email upon initiation of a customer request, enabling greater productivity.

The SonicWALL SSL VPN 3.0 firmware improves the remote access administration experience with a next-generation intuitive interface using icon-based visual aids for easier configuration and management of the SSL VPN appliances, while retaining a familiar navigation system. Furthermore, new Virtual Assist logging and reporting functionality in the administrative portal ensures IT accountability by providing detailed logs of remote support sessions, which can be used to generate automated reports for export or email according to predefined schedules.

"The increasing costs of doing business combined with a soft economy makes it more important than ever for IT to consider cost-effective solutions like Virtual Assist," says Upa Hazarika, SonicWALL SSL VPN Product Manager. "Both channel partners and end customers can reap benefits from increased security, productivity, and user satisfaction, while leveraging existing infrastructure using this appliance-based solution. At SonicWALL, we strive to drive down the costs and complexity of security, so that businesses can be more productive."

The SSL-VPN 2000 and 4000 appliances are available for sale today via the channel. SonicWALL(R) Virtual Assist may be bought as a perpetual license for these platforms based on the maximum number of concurrent technicians required at any given time.

About SonicWALL, Inc.

SonicWALL is committed to improving the performance and productivity of businesses of all sizes by engineering the cost and complexity out of running a secure network. Over one million SonicWALL appliances have been shipped through its global network of ten thousand channel partners to keep tens of millions of worldwide business computer users safe and in control of their data.

Verizon Wireless and Strayer University Team Up to Bring the College Classroom to the WorkplaceStudents earn college degrees at work site; more locations planned

SALT LAKE CITY, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The halls may not be covered in ivy, but the Verizon Wireless call center near Salt Lake City is very much an institution of higher learning.

Through a partnership with Strayer University, Verizon Wireless launched a model college degree program at its call center last fall. Associate and bachelor's of business administration classes as well as an MBA program are conducted onsite at no cost to employees, thanks to the company's tuition assistance program. Business courses are tailored to the Verizon Wireless student, with the opportunity to use actual business scenarios as case studies.

"The onsite program allows our employees to continue their education right here at our call center," says Trent Vansice, director of customer service for the Salt Lake City call center. "It has made it much easier for employees to take advantage of our industry-leading tuition assistance benefits."

"Strayer University is honored to partner with Verizon Wireless to provide the best possible educational experience for its employees," said Karl McDonnell, chief operating officer for Strayer University. "This program model has enabled us to extend our reach in ways not previously available to fulfill our mission of providing a high quality education for working adults."

The onsite education program also makes good business sense. Vansice reports that employee turnover rates are significantly lower for those who take advantage of the educational benefit provided by the company.

Verizon Wireless is the highest-ranked wireless company on Training magazine's list of top 125 training organizations in America and the only wireless carrier included in the "Working Mother 100 Best Companies" where recognition is based on a work environment that is especially hospitable to working parents.

The company currently offers onsite college programs in nine of its 29 call centers, plus programs in five headquarters offices. Verizon Wireless plans to expand the onsite college degree programs to company locations in three additional states in the western U.S. later this year and seeks to add even more states during the next two years.

HI-FOG(R) Protects Finnish Tunnel

HELSINKI, Finland, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marioff Corporation Oy has been selected by the Helsinki Public Works Department to install a HI-FOG(R) Water Mist Fire Protection System in the city's new underground tunnel service network. The installation will be Finland's first automatic tunnel fire protection system. Marioff is part of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. .

The Helsinki underground service network will direct road traffic under the downtown area, allowing the city to expand its pedestrian zones. The project includes a two-kilometre service tunnel, one kilometre of which will be protected by the new HI-FOG(R) system.

"This is a very important project for Helsinki, and we are pleased to be working with the City's planners to make the service tunnels safer," said Markku Vuorisalo, Marioff's General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure.

The HI-FOG(R) system uses high pressure to produce a fine water mist that combines the extinguishing characteristics of water with the penetrative qualities of gases to minimize property damage and environmental hazard upon activation.

"HI-FOG(R) is suitable for a variety of land-based applications, especially in retro-fitting, where its thin tubes and multiple power options have a significant advantage over competing products," says Vuorisalo.

Marioff Corporation Oy was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Vantaa, Finland. The company's industry leading HI-FOG(R) water mist fire protection system offers major advantages over conventional water sprinkler systems and is installed in passenger cruise ships, metros and railway stations, commercial buildings, hotels, heritage sites, museums, IT centres and factories.

HILLSBORO, Ore., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MathStar, Inc. announced today it has committed to a plan to discontinue its field programmable object array (FPOA) chip development and its board-level systems development businesses. The Company decided to do so to preserve the Company's assets while it considers strategic alternatives. As previously reported on May 21, 2008, the Company has decided to engage an investment banker to explore strategic alternatives.

As a result of these initiatives, the Company expects to incur aggregate pre-tax costs and charges of approximately $4.1 million consisting of the following: approximately $1.1 million in employee severance and benefit costs; approximately $1.4 million in asset write-off and accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment; approximately $1.1 million in accelerated payment of future rent and operating lease payments; and approximately $500,000 in other exit costs.

Douglas M. Pihl, the Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, John M. Jennings, the Chief Accounting Officer, and several other employees will remain with the Company in order to wind down the businesses and maintain the Company's status as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Franchise Approval Vote Brings Real Choice for TV in New York City a Major Step CloserAgreement Moves to State Public Service Commission for Final Confirmation

NEW YORK, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- New York City's Franchise and Concession Review Committee (FCRC) today voted unanimously to approve a proposal by Verizon to provide TV service to all five boroughs of the city, and bring competition in the TV market. The company will provide the service through its state-of-the-art, all-fiber-optic FiOS TV network. The vote follows an agreement on April 29 by the city's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to accept the Verizon proposal. As final steps in the review process, the proposed agreement must be confirmed by the Mayor's Office of the City of New York and the New York State Public Service Commission. The following statement on today's FCRC vote should be attributed to Monica Azare, Verizon senior vice president for New York and Connecticut.

"After many years, real choice for TV is closer to reality for New York City residents. Soon, they will be able to break away from the monopoly of legacy cable TV providers. If we are successful in the last steps of the approval process, we will deliver on our promise to begin offering FiOS TV in parts of each of the five boroughs later this year.

"New Yorkers should feel proud of their city's government, which has forged ahead and said 'No' to the monopolies, and 'Yes' to competition, choice and a new technology -- built by Verizon's union-represented workers -- that will raise the bar for all providers. Today's vote represents the voice of the residents of New York City, who expressed broad support for a new provider that will create value for customers.

"When our proposal is fully approved, New York will be the first major city in the nation to break the cable TV monopoly and bring the network of the future to its residents today."
