Dow Jones Insight - 2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse: Clinton Campaign Picks Up Steam in Blogs and Message Boards

NEW YORK, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Results from the Dow Jones Insight -- 2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse show that over the past month Hillary Clinton's mentions in the mainstream media have declined in tandem with the likelihood of her nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate. However, if blogs lead the way, Clinton's campaign may still be viable in the election.

Candidates Influence the Blogs

Two weeks ago (May 13-19), Clinton's coverage on blogs and boards hit a low point as she received just a 25 percent share, with McCain finally rising to second place with 29 percent and Obama padding his already comfortable lead to 46 percent. But in the most recent seven-day period (May 20-26), Clinton jumped back into second place on the blogs and boards with 30 percent (7,088 mentions), compared to McCain who stayed level at 29 percent (6,785 mentions). At the same time, Obama's lead shrank to 41 percent (with 9,712 mentions) from 46 percent, clearly demonstrating that the Clinton mentions came at the expense of Obama's coverage.

Having dropped their discussion of Clinton to such low levels just a week earlier, social media appears to be ahead of the curve again: some protesting her continued presence in the race, others urging her to fight on, many railing against her remarks about Robert F. Kennedy and weighing the pros and cons of a possible vice presidency.

Meanwhile, Clinton's coverage in the mainstream press has shrunk slowly in the weeks since the May 5 primaries. In the most recent seven-day period (May 20-26), Clinton's share of all mentions fell 2 percentage points to 32% (10,502 mentions), while McCain gained two percentage points to 27%, with 8,892 mentions, and Obama slipped by one point to 41% (13,232 mentions).

Red State/Blue State Issues Coverage Similar But Shows Some Key Differences

With all the talk in the 2004 election about the differing concerns and electorates of Red States vs. Blue States, or those considered to be solidly Democratic or Republican states, Dow Jones Insight took a look at how the coverage by mainstream media in those states differed on some of the more controversial domestic "wedge" issues.

While the results showed that the coverage had more in common than was different -- on the issue of faith in particular -- there were a few key areas where coverage levels between the two groups varied, in expected ways.

Blue States had more coverage about the environment (20 percent of total coverage for all candidates on the five wedge issues vs. 18 percent in the Red States press) and on same-sex marriage (3 percent of total coverage on the issues vs. 2 percent in the Red States press). Red States, meanwhile, had higher coverage on immigration (13 percent of all wedge issue coverage in Red vs. 11 percent in Blue) and abortion (6 percent vs. 5 percent). Faith was virtually equal, with Red States at 61 percent and Blue States at 60 percent on high volumes relative to the other issues.

The most noticeable differences overall both involved McCain, who had higher coverage on immigration in the Red States press (20 percent of his total coverage on the five issues in Red States) than in Blue States (18 percent of his issues-related coverage), and higher coverage on same-sex marriage in Blue States (4 percent of all McCain coverage on the five issues) than in Red (3 percent), a small percentage overall but representing a disparity of 33 percent.

The Dow Jones Insight -- 2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse tracks four key areas of media coverage related to the election, as reported across traditional and social media sources, including:

-- Coverage of key issues by party -- Issue ownership by party -- Coverage of policies by media type -- Share of voice analysis - press coverage by each candidate

The Dow Jones Insight -- 2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse provides a high-level view of a competitive media landscape and demonstrates how candidates and issues are covered in the media and how that coverage changes over time. Dow Jones Insight combines proven research methodologies, trusted content and advanced text-mining and visualization tools to deliver strategic qualitative and quantitative media measurement metrics. Organizations use the analysis to nurture their reputation, demonstrate the effectiveness of their communications strategies and achieve business objectives. The platform processes nearly a million articles, Web pages, blogs and message board posts per day.

NEW YORK, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Spike.com, a division of MTVN Entertainment Group, a unit of Viacom , has unveiled its groundbreaking new online platform for men, it was announced today by Erik Flannigan, executive vice president, digital media, MTVN Entertainment Group and Jon Slusser, senior vice president, spike digital and video games. The totally redesigned site, launching on Friday, May 30, offers visitors a new cutting-edge look and feel. Spike.com will feature deeper content channels, a high resolution and full episode video player and advanced social networking. In addition, the new site will feature a slate of original content including a development deal with Playboy.com.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060322/NYW096LOGO)

1. PACT will release its un-audited fourth quarter and audited full year 2007 earnings results on or before June 9, 2008. Q1 2008 earnings will be released on or before June 23, 2008.

2. As previously reported by PacificNet Inc. on a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2008, Ziria Enterprises Limited did not deliver to PacificNet the share certificates of Emperor Holdings Limited, the legal owner of Octavian International Limited. As a result of Ziria's failure to deliver the share certificates, which was a condition to closing the acquisition of Octavian, on May 21, 2008, the Company, Ziria, PacificNet Games International Corporation, Octavian and Emperor Holdings Limited terminated the agreement to acquire Octavian. Under the acquisition agreement, if the transaction had been consummated, PacificNet was obligated to issue, in the aggregate, 2,330,000 restricted shares of PACT representing approximately 19.5% of PacificNet's outstanding shares and cash of up to $18,900,000, which would have been paid upon the completion of certain net profit performance targets.

All parties involved have agreed not to complete the merger but will remain distribution partners of complimentary products in each others respective markets.

Advantest Introduces New M7522 Dynamic Test HandlerIndustry-Leading Capabilities Offer High-Speed, Precision Positioning Handling for LCD Driver ICs

TOKYO, May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advantest Corporation , the world's leading supplier of semiconductor test equipment, today announced its new M7522 dynamic test handler. The unit offers the industry's highest processing speed and positioning accuracy for fine-pitch tape automated bonding (TAB) and chip-on-film (COF) package devices used in liquid crystal display (LCD) panel ICs. The M7522 dynamic test handler will be available from August 2008 and, alongside the T6373 LCD driver test system, will be displayed as part of the company's LCD Driver IC Test Solution at the "Advantest Tour de Force 2008" exhibition to be held at the Tokyo International Forum, June 3-5.

Rising demand and increased competition in the LCD market

Advancements in technology and changes in semiconductor industry business models are contributing to the continuing fall in price of LCD panels used in flat-screen televisions and computer monitors. Conversely, increasing demand for higher-definition capabilities is driving the need for higher-pin-count devices, which are more costly to produce. With the LCD market expected to expand in the coming years, not only in industrialized countries, but also in developing nations, it is predicted that growth in the flat-panel television market will be particularly strong, with demand surpassing 100 million units in 2009 and 150 million units in 2012. Because of this, worldwide shipments of the driver ICs that these LCD panels rely on are also expected to increase. However, as demonstrated by the drop in price of flat-screen televisions, competition between manufacturers has become increasingly fierce, making yield improvement and test processing speed major issues for high-volume manufacturers of LCD driver ICs. With its enhanced handling capabilities, Advantest's M7522 dynamic test handler addresses such issues.

Features and Benefits -- Industry's fastest index time of 0.7 seconds for improved test efficiency The M7522's newly-developed feed mechanism incorporates a high-performance servo motor, enabling an industry-leading 0.7-second index time for tape and film mounted package devices. With the fastest processing speeds in the industry, it contributes to test cost reductions. -- Advanced positioning technology for industry-leading performance -- Enhanced positioning accuracy offers significant yield improvements The unit's optical lens, which works to recognize the position of the device and the test probe, is now twice as powerful as that of Advantest's earlier model, offering a positioning accuracy of +/-3um -- the best in the industry. It supports even the fine-pitch driver ICs necessary for increasingly high- definition LCDs, thus contributing to great improvements in yield. -- Precision contact eliminates need for test pads Contact between the device and the test probe is currently achieved through the use of test pads on the tape of the device. Once testing is complete, these test pads are removed. With the enhanced positioning accuracy of the M7522, high precision contact is possible even without test pads, leading to a significant reduction in materials costs. -- Automated needle alignment facilitates operation The M7522's new automated device and test probe positioning capabilities afford greater precision and eliminate the problems associated with manual operation. Automating the process also enables more highly accurate positioning to be achieved in a shorter timeframe, and the handler's precision contacts give it the ability to support many of the newer tape trends. -- Automated maintenance for test probe Checking for bends in the needle tip and cleaning operations can now be performed automatically by the unit as necessary, offering improved yields and a considerable reduction in working hours. Key Specifications: Target Packages: TAB, COF (35mm/48mm/70mm) wide and super-wide types Reel Diameter: Up to 620mm Device Length: Up to 28-perforation pitch Pricing from $240,000, depending upon configuration.

Honeywell Navigation Unit Helps Successful Mars LandingSeventh NASA Mars Mission with Honeywell Technology

PHOENIX, May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Honeywell announced today that its Miniature Inertial Measurement Units (MIMUs) helped successfully guide NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander to a safe landing May 25th on the planet's surface.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080425/LAF040LOGO)

Honeywell MIMUs, each of which weighs approximately nine pounds and measure 6.6 inches in height and nine inches in diameter, provide data to assist the vehicle guidance. The units have contributed to the success of several commercial and military satellite and space exploration programs.

"Launched by NASA in 2007, Phoenix is the first mission to the Martian polar regions to analyze soil and ice using a robotic arm and other equipment," said Dave Douglass, Vice President, Honeywell Space. "Because of adverse conditions on the planet and in its atmosphere, landing on Mars is incredibly challenging. Honeywell technology ensured a safe descent through the planet's atmosphere after the spacecraft's 10-month cruise to Mars. The landing was a fantastic accomplishment for the NASA spacecraft and for Honeywell.

"This mission marked the seventh time Honeywell technologies were on a scientific mission to Mars. We are proud of this accomplishment -- and expect that our long legacy of developing the components and systems that enable NASA human and research missions will continue to grow," Douglass said.

Honeywell inertial measurement units guided and controlled the spacecraft as it descended through the Martian atmosphere at more than 12,750 miles per hour, slowing to 5.4 miles per hour at impact in the atmosphere through the use of heat-shield friction, a parachute and firing descent rockets. A Honeywell radar altimeter also provided precise navigation data to assist with the landing.

The Phoenix Mars Lander mission is the first in NASA's "Scout Program," a highly innovative and relatively low-cost complement to other major missions, will study the history of water in the Martian arctic and search for evidence of an area on the planet suitable for human exploration over a three month period.

NASA's Mars Odyssey, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Europe's Mars Express all were maneuvered into position to observe the mission. Each spacecraft is equipped with a Honeywell miniature inertial measurement unit.

Honeywell inertial systems are on other commercial and military satellite and space exploration programs including Venus Express, Pluto New Horizons, Rosetta mission to Comet 67P, STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory), Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and Stardust. Honeywell also will provide miniature inertial measurement units for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars Science Laboratory, planned for 2011.

Honeywell International is a $37 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell's shares are traded on the New York, London and Chicago Stock Exchanges. For additional information, please visit http://www.honeywell.com/.

Based in Phoenix, Honeywell's $12 billion aerospace business is a leading global provider of integrated avionics, engines, systems and service solutions for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, business and general aviation, military, space and airport operations.

First Battery of THAAD Weapon System Activated at Fort Bliss

DALLAS, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Army today activated the first battery of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Weapon System, developed by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and produced by Lockheed Martin , in a ceremony at Fort Bliss, TX.

Alpha Battery/4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 32nd Army Air & Missile Defense Command will receive 24 THAAD interceptors, three THAAD launchers, a THAAD Fire Control and a THAAD radar as part of the initial fielding. In addition, the battery will have logistics support assets, such as the Battery Support Center and Integrated Contractor Support System, as well as the necessary spares for a fielded unit.

"This is a historic day for the U.S. Army's Air Defense community," said Tom McGrath, program manager and vice president for THAAD at Lockheed Martin. "The first battery receiving the THAAD Weapon System signifies that we are one step closer to the day THAAD will be protecting our Soldiers, friends and allies around the globe."

The A4 Battery is receiving the THAAD Weapon System now to allow the unit to prepare for full-system fielding beginning in 2009. Unit training on the THAAD equipment is already underway. The first New Equipment Training Classes began in April, and the battery is well on its way to creating an operational unit.

"The THAAD Weapon System is enjoying excellent success in this current development phase," McGrath continued. "THAAD's precision engagement capabilities, combined with the power of the hit-to-kill engagement, offer the Warfighter tremendous protection from the threats of today and tomorrow. Soldiers from Fort Bliss have successfully operated the THAAD system in flight testing for two years, and will continue as flight testing progresses."

THAAD flight testing continues later this year, with two flights scheduled before the end of Fiscal Year 2008 in September and two during FY09, which commences October 1. Since November 2005, the THAAD Weapon System program has conducted seven successful flight tests, including four tests involving the successful intercept of threat representative targets.

A production contract for the first two fire units was awarded to Lockheed Martin in late 2006. THAAD launcher and fire control and communications unit production will take place at Lockheed Martin's manufacturing facility in Camden, AR. Interceptor production is conducted at Lockheed Martin's Pike County Facility in Troy, AL.

THAAD is designed to defend U.S. troops, allied forces, population centers and critical infrastructure against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles. THAAD comprises a fire control and communications system, interceptors, launchers and a radar. The THAAD interceptor uses hit-to-kill technology to destroy targets, and THAAD is the only weapon system that engages threat ballistic missiles at both endo- and exo-atmospheric altitudes.

A key element of the nation's Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), THAAD is a Missile Defense Agency program, with the program office located in Huntsville, AL. The agency is developing a BMDS to defend the United States, its deployed forces, friends and allies against ballistic missiles of all ranges and in all phases of flight.

Lockheed Martin is a world leader in systems integration and the development of air and missile defense systems and technologies, including the first operational hit-to-kill missile. It also has considerable experience in missile design and production, infrared seekers, command and control/battle management, and communications, precision pointing and tracking optics, as well as radar and signal processing. The company makes significant contributions to all major U.S. missile defense systems and participates in several global missile defense partnerships.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2007 sales of $41.9 billion.

PIERS Now Offers Argentine Import-Export Trade Data

NEWARK, N.J., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- PIERS Global Intelligence Solutions, a Commonwealth Business Media company and the leading provider of U.S. trade data, has expanded its international import-export database resources to include current and historical data on Argentina's overland, water- and airborne cross-border commerce with the rest of the world.

"This is an important addition to our Latin American database, which now includes the top seven of the 12 South American national economies -- Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, and Ecuador -- as well as U.S.-NAFTA partner Mexico," explains Wael Jarous, vice president of PIERS Commercial Sales.

"At PIERS, we always intend to enlarge our commercial intelligence assets," continues Jarous. "It takes time because we want to ensure that our agents abroad have the access to authoritative sources -- typically Customs authorities - and can provide data that meets the same industry-leading standards of accuracy and comprehensiveness set by our U.S. import-export trade database."

The PIERS Argentine data will yield the "who, what, when and where" of import-export transactions, Jarous says, including names of shippers & consignees, points of origin and destination, commodity descriptions, and actual freight and goods values. PIERS offers online access to its international database by subscription, or as custom datasets for one-time purchase. Data may also be delivered via CD or in print report formats.

A key player in global commerce, Argentina is one of the five full members (the others are Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela) of MERCOSUR, South America's largest and the world's fourth largest trading block after the European Union (EU), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).

According to U.S. State Dept. figures, Argentina exports in 2007 amounted to US$55.4 million, with MERCOSUR (22%), the EU (18%) and NAFTA (11%) the top markets. Imports in 2007 totalled $44.8 billion, with MERCOSUR partners (36%), EU (17%) and NAFTA (16%) the top sources -- with the U.S. accounting for approximately 13% of Argentine imports. Two-way trade in goods between the U.S. and Argentina neared US$9 billion in 2006, while two-way trade in services exceeded US$3.2 billion according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Argentine economy, in strong resurgence since 2003, is expected to continue to perform well in 2008 with GDP growth projected at 6.9%, according to the Argentine Central Bank's consensus survey.

Enfield, Connecticut Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

ENFIELD, Conn., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Hartford County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along Broadbrook, Town Farm, and South Roads, as well as the surrounding area, in Enfield, Connecticut.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England offers wireless broadband connectivity.

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high- speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fourteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high- population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Christian Majors Sign New Agreements and Renewals with Play MPE(R)Warner, Sony BMG and EMI Christian Label Groups Choose Play MPE(R)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media Technologies (BULLETIN BOARD: DSNY) is pleased to announce paid commercial agreements are in place with Curb, EMI CMG, INO, Integrity, Provident and Word, collectively representing 100% of the Christian major labels. These labels use Destiny's premiere digital distribution system, Play MPE(R), to securely move pre-release music to radio stations and other trusted recipients.

Brian Dishon, VP National Promotions, Provident Label Group, remarks "Sometimes it's scary how technology can change our behavior in such a large-scale way without us even being aware that it is happening so efficiently or so quickly. This is the case with Play MPE(R), and it is a good thing!"

According to Dishon, Play MPE(R) has changed the way they do business. "We used to have to manufacture a CD and wait 30 days to ship a single out to radio. Just last week we were delivered a mastered single around 2 pm and it was in the system and sent to radio by 4 pm and we had an 'add' on the song the following morning!"

Derek Jones, VP Promotional Marketing, Word Label Group also gives kudos to the system. "We love PLAY MPE(R)! It has revolutionized the way we deliver music to radio ... quick and quality downloads that are safe and secure!"

"Play MPE(R) is the sole standard of digital delivery for the Christian format," said Dean Ernst, VP of MPE Operations. "This format is a great example of how an industry can move from physical CD to digital when it is done in an organized and collective manner. We are grateful for the continued support and thank both labels and radio for making us the clear and only choice for digital delivery."

Play MPE(R) is the only system to deliver HD audio from source to destination at high download speeds without conversion to a lower quality format such as WMA. Radio stations receive the latest music instantly without sacrificing audio quality. It provides content owners the choice of locking releases to recipient machines or allowing the songs to be copied. It embeds a digital watermark that doesn't affect audio quality and survives compression and conversion into other audio formats, including analog.

Play MPE(R) has become the delivery standard for Christian radio with 100% of Christian reporting radio stations installed with the system. So far this year, these six major Christian labels have generated well over 200,000 transactions (536 singles, 355 compilations, 57 albums and 8 box sets).

Southern Company Chairman Reviews Strong Performance, Future Plans at Annual Shareholder Meeting

ATLANTA, May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southern Company Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Ratcliffe today gave shareholders an overview of the company's 2007 performance while outlining future plans.

"Safety, reliability, affordability and customer service are the fundamentals of our business," he said. "The excellent performance across our business along with the continued economic expansion of our region, provided you, our shareholders, good solid financial growth in 2007."

Ratcliffe made the remarks at Southern Company's 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which took place this morning at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga. At the meeting, Ratcliffe reported on Southern Company business issues and future plans. Also, shareholders elected the company's Board of Directors and voted on other matters.

Ratcliffe noted Southern Company's long track record of consistent dividend payments.

"We continued our record of consecutive dividend payments, which now stands at 242 quarters, or 60 years," he said. "And last month we raised the dividend 7 cents to $1.68 per year.

Over the past 10 years, and even over the past 30 years, our stock has outperformed the Standard and Poor's 500 Index for total shareholder return."

Speaking on environmental issues, including climate change, Ratcliffe said Southern Company will continue to work with Congress, the administration, and other stakeholders to achieve a policy guided by common sense.

"As the debate on policy to address the global issue of climate change continues, the policy that is eventually adopted must consider how best to balance our desire for reduced greenhouse gas emissions with our desire for a strong economy and reliable supplies of electricity," Ratcliffe said. "We will continue to inform this process with the best science and economic analysis we can generate. At the same time, we will deliver solutions for our customers that achieve their desire for reliable, affordable and cleaner electricity."

Macy's Chooses FileMaker Pro 9 Database Software to Manage World-Famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(R)

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FileMaker Pro 9 has been selected by Macy's Parade & Entertainment Group as the database software platform to manage the information system for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(R) in New York City. FileMaker Pro, the best-selling easy-to-use database software, will be used by the Macy's Parade & Entertainment Group to manage the myriad of information on the people, including the thousands of volunteers, and logistics required to ensure the smooth flow of all the magnificent helium balloons, floats, singers, dancers, performers and celebrities along the streets of New York City into Herald Square.

"With more than 5,000 people potentially participating in this year's parade, our new FileMaker Pro 9 databases will bring together all the required functions for the parade into one manageable, networked solution," said Robin Hall, senior vice president, Macy's Parade & Entertainment Group.

Macy's Parade & Entertainment Group, including its fabled Parade Studio in Hoboken, N.J., will take advantage of a networked FileMaker Pro solution for a variety of tasks, including costume inventory and assignment, float and balloon inventory and location, and volunteer history and assignment.

Before FileMaker Pro was deployed, the database for the parade was originally built in Microsoft Access and its operation required programming knowledge beyond the basic consumer level. This caused delays and resulted in the need to export all work from Microsoft Access queries into Microsoft Excel documents to find specific information in a user-friendly manner.

"With our new FileMaker database system, time-consuming tasks such as assigning volunteers parade responsibilities have been reduced from about 10 days to just one or two days, and more important, we can better meet the needs and specifications of each individual, group and staff member," said Hall.

Future expansion of the Macy's Parade database will involve Web-published content, including online registration for volunteer participation in the parade.

EMC Strengthens Information Infrastructure for Boston Health Care for the Homeless ProgramEMC Donates Network Storage Systems, Software And Services To Deliver Higher Performance and Greater Reliability

HOPKINTON, Mass., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, announced today it helped implement the state-of-the-art datacenter at the new headquarters of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), Jean Yawkey Place. EMC's $250,000 donation of storage systems, software and services will support BHCHP's clinical and business operations by protecting and keeping its information readily accessible at its headquarters and for its clinicians in the community. EMC's donation will help BHCHP meet a Kresge Foundation challenge to raise an additional $4.5 million for the organization.

"Our mission is to provide the highest quality health care for Boston's homeless men, women and children and this gift will help us do that," said BHCHP executive director Robert Taube, PhD. "EMC managed the move of our datacenter without any interruption to our operations and installed advanced data backup technology to support our clinical and financial operations, greatly benefiting our staff and patients."

Founded in 1985, BHCHP has evolved into the largest and most comprehensive health care for the homeless program in the country, delivering services to more than 10,000 homeless men, women and children a year. BHCHP is renovating a venerable old building in Boston that will unite the core elements of its operations under one roof, including an expanded inpatient care unit, primary care, dental and mental health, a pharmacy, administrative offices and the new datacenter.

EMC Global Services worked with BHCHP to coordinate the datacenter relocation and design the new infrastructure, which included provisioning it with EMC's high-speed data backup equipment and a project manager to coordinate the move of existing servers and network components to the new datacenter.

Additionally, BHCHP relies on its practice management and billing systems, as well as GE Healthcare Centricity applications for 24/7 access to patient information to provide direct care to patients throughout Boston. To protect and make critical information readily accessible, EMC donated an EMC Disk Library (EDL) system and EMC NetWorker(R) software to strengthen, streamline and simplify BHCHP's disk-based backup and restore operations. Using NetWorker, BHCHP is able to automatically cycle backups to the EDL based on pre-defined retention policies, thus achieving higher performance and greater reliability.

"Manila file folders and paper are not an option for our clinicians providing direct care to patients all over Boston," said Lee Cowgill, BHCHP's Network Administrator. "Our patients are often on the move, so clinicians need to have patient records at their fingertips. While we have already made great strides with our use of technology, our EMC information infrastructure is a giant leap forward and will be faster, more reliable and more redundant. This gift is especially meaningful to me because I was once homeless and understand the profound impact of our work."

Since its inception in 1985, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) has provided high quality health care to homeless individuals and families in the greater Boston area. A private, non-profit organization, BHCHP runs three hospital-based clinics and delivers care at more than 80 shelters and sites including the Pine Street Inn, St. Francis House and New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans. BHCHP's inpatient respite program, the Barbara McInnis House, has become a national model for delivering medical care to homeless individuals who are too sick for shelters or the street, but not sick enough for an inpatient hospital stay.

Microsoft Announces Enterprise Innovation Management InitiativeEnterprise customers and partners now can apply tested technologies and formal processes to address the challenges of innovation.

REDMOND, Wash., May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced its Innovation Process Management (IPM) initiative to help enterprises build a flexible IT platform to speed the process of innovation for competitive advantage and a higher return on investment.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

In many industries, innovation traditionally has been a compartmentalized, top-down process run by a small team of researchers, designers or engineers. The rapid spread and high availability of collaborative technologies has changed that model. It is now widely recognized that the next great breakthrough in products, services and processes can come from people anywhere inside or outside an organization. Advancements in IT also make it possible for companies to design flexible processes to support innovation.

"Innovation really is a team sport, requiring close collaboration and the alignment of people, processes and supporting infrastructure throughout an organization," said Don Richardson, director of Worldwide Innovation Management Sales Strategy at Microsoft. "Ideation, knowledge capture, knowledge management, project management and portfolio management all must be synchronized through a formal process to ensure that innovation projects yield success."

"Innovation is a top priority in every industry we serve," said Joe Boggio, director of Innovation Management Solutions at Microsoft. "Our customers want a systematic approach for managing innovation to garner greater yield, efficiency and speed; this initiative joins employees, suppliers and customers around a formal, end-to-end process to manage innovation for sustained growth."

The primary challenges associated with IPM include capturing the best ideas from all levels of the organization, identifying and harnessing the right people and other resources both inside and outside the organization, coordinating innovation project teams, monitoring project progress, and measuring success. Organizations often do not have structured innovation processes in place to drive transparency, metrics development or cross-functional collaboration. Because speed and coordination are critical to many organizations' success in innovation, an effective collaboration process is essential to turn insights into ideas and action.

Microsoft's IPM initiative is focused on helping its customers apply information technologies to address the challenges of innovation by delivering solutions that enable corporations to manage the end-to-end innovation process with greater transparency, coordination and discipline. The Microsoft Innovation Process Management Solution is built on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and is a key component of the Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution, enabling organizations to facilitate the innovation process.

Microsoft's unique approach to IPM is built around three key aspects of the overall process of managing innovation. The process is facilitated by Microsoft's integrated EPM and business productivity infrastructure, which includes collaboration, unified communications, business intelligence, enterprise content management and enterprise search. The three aspects and their components are as follows:

Ideation and Knowledge Capture -- The ability to capture and share ideas easily and rapidly to promote a culture of innovation by increasing first the quantity and then the quality of ideas contributed -- The capability to collaborate to solve problems, gain incremental benefit or break new ground in a product, service or process by garnering feedback, gauging interest, forming teams and further developing concepts to transform them into well-thought-out ideas Process and Knowledge Management -- The processes to facilitate, investigate, formulate, evaluate, develop and promote an idea from concept to sanctioned project, involving key stakeholders internal and external to an organization -- The capability to enforce process structure and discipline without stifling innovation -- The ability to manage the life cycle of all digital content flowing into and out of the solution Project and Portfolio Management -- The ability to evaluate ideas according to the following specifics: * Governing strategic objectives such as growth, globalization, innovation and customer loyalty * Operational parameters such as work-force resource constraints, capital expenditure, project funds and competing investments * Performance metrics such as sales, forecasts, inventory and spending * Macro environmental factors such as market dynamics, market size and industry trends -- The capability to track real-time progress against forecast metrics and make informed decisions to optimize budget, resources and time constraints to meet market demands, such as windows of opportunity to gain first-mover advantages

The IPM offerings from Microsoft and its partners are built on a flexible platform that can be customized to support customers' existing processes and integrate with their line-of-business systems, enabling them to get the most out of their current technology investments. Microsoft Office EPM Solution is a key component of IPM, which enables entire organizations to work together to continually improve processes, increase efficiency and facilitate knowledge sharing, driving a sustainable return on investment. More information on Microsoft Office EPM Solution can be found at http://www.epmconnect.com/.

Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

TechTeam Global Announces Organizational Realignment and Restructuring ActionsPlan Improves Operating Efficiency, Global Consistency and Profitability

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TechTeam Global, Inc. , a worldwide provider of information technology (IT), enterprise support and business process outsourcing services, today announced corporate-wide organizational realignment and restructuring actions to improve the Company's operating efficiency, achieve greater global consistency and drive improved financial performance.

The plan involves reorganizing many of the Company's business functions from a regional model to a global structure and results in reductions in staff functions of approximately 60 people. As a result, the Company expects to incur a $3.0-3.5 million restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2008, at which point the Company expects to have completed the restructuring. The Company does not anticipate incurring a restructuring charge in future periods related to this plan.

"We have designed our organization structure to achieve greater operating efficiencies and agility on a global scale in a competitive environment where best practices must be quickly identified, shared and implemented globally. This plan will enable TechTeam to provide high quality service delivery and account management for our customers globally, while allowing us to improve our financial performance and invest strategically to expand our geographic presence, increase our depth of capabilities and improve our visibility in the market," said Gary J. Cotshott, President and Chief Executive Officer of TechTeam Global, Inc.

"When I joined TechTeam in mid-February, one of my top priorities was to improve our operating efficiency and overall profitability, which while improved, remains below acceptable levels. Simultaneously, we wanted to re-invest on a targeted basis to support future growth, most notably in additional sales and marketing resources to drive demand. We will accomplish both objectives with this restructuring," Cotshott added. "We have already begun executing these actions. The organizational changes and staff reductions will be completed in large part this week with full completion anticipated by the end of the second quarter. In addition to a more effective organization, we expect to deliver improved profitability, achieving operating margins in the range of 7-8% for the second half of this year, which is a significant improvement over our recent performance."
