MasterCard Technology Leader George Spies Receives InfoWorld's CTO 25 Award

O'FALLON, Mo., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- George Spies, senior vice president, MasterCard Global Debit Operations, was honored this week as a recipient of InfoWorld's CTO 25 Awards for 2008. International Data Group's InfoWorld Media Group recognizes 25 senior IT executives who have demonstrated leadership within their companies and in the IT community with this annual award.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080603/NYTU160 ) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061031/MCLOGO )

The executive editorial team of InfoWorld Media Group, which covers the enterprise technology market and identifies emerging technology segments, selected Spies in recognition of his work in spearheading the technical development of MasterCard Integrated Processing Solutions(TM) (IPS), a powerful new debit and prepaid processing platform that MasterCard introduced in April. Through a single connection, MasterCard IPS provides banks and other financial institutions with a suite of branded debit network and payment card issuer processing services including PIN, signature, and ATM.

"Although technology is fundamental to the business of MasterCard, the company isn't often categorized as a tech company, so I'm especially honored to be recognized among so many top-notch IT achievers," Spies said. "InfoWorld has been part of the information technology landscape for 30 years, and this award validates the talent and dedication of the whole MasterCard technology team, which continues to grow IT as a business driver while constantly advancing our goal to make every MasterCard transaction more valuable."

Spies is based at the MasterCard Global Technology and Operations headquarters in O'Fallon, Mo., and under his leadership the MasterCard technology team built the platform from the ground up -- with an extremely tight timeline -- to enhance the MasterCard debit offering for its financial institution customers.

MasterCard IPS frees financial institutions from cobbled-together legacy payment systems that make achieving their business goals time-consuming and unpredictable. In addition, it introduced an advanced, user-friendly customer interface, the proprietary MasterCard Portfolio Viewer, which simplifies the process for financial institutions to package cardholder data into customized reports.

"With MasterCard IPS, George Spies and his team built a next-generation platform with our financial institution customers in mind, incorporating advanced functionality to provide them with the most agile, flexible and forward-thinking debit payments and processing solutions. The new platform is a pivotal asset for MasterCard," said Rob Reeg, president, Global Technology and Operations, MasterCard Worldwide.

"In his 12 years at MasterCard, George Spies has built his reputation around devising and carrying through business-driven IT strategy planning, execution and leadership, and he and his team definitely delivered with MasterCard IPS," Reeg added.

In addition to projects such as the new debit platform, Spies helps ensure that MasterCard Global Technology and Operations remains, as he puts it, "brilliant at the basics and brilliant at the hard stuff, too." For MasterCard, that means processing more than 18 billion payment transactions each year in 210 countries and territories with 99.999 percent network availability.

TV Choice and Competition Near for Residents of the Town of Babylon, and Villages of Roslyn and Manorhaven, N.Y.Communities Approve Video Franchises for Verizon

NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents of the Suffolk County Town of Babylon and the Nassau County villages of Roslyn and Manorhaven are a major step closer to having a real choice for their cable television service, thanks to newly approved agreements authorizing Verizon to offer its FiOS TV service, delivered over the most advanced fiber-optic network straight to customers' homes.

The Babylon Town Board granted video a franchise to Verizon Tuesday (June 3), paving the way for video choice in the nine communities that fall under the franchise agreement. Those communities are: Copaigue, Deer Park, East Farmingdale, North Amityville, North Babylon, North Lindenhurst, West Babylon, Wheatley Heights and Wyandanch.

The Village of Roslyn voted in favor of a franchise for Verizon on May 20, and the Village of Manorhaven followed suit on May 29.

The three new franchises bring to 119 the total number of New York municipalities that have approved video franchises for Verizon.

"This is great news for residents of Roslyn, Manorhaven and the nine communities within the Town of Babylon, who now will have a new choice for their video entertainment," said Monica Azare, Verizon senior vice president for New York and Connecticut.

"Consumers in these communities will be able to choose their cable provider as easily as they choose their phone company. Competition like this drives innovation, value and service quality, and we will continue to compete aggressively for business on Long Island," she said.

As with all local franchise approvals in New York, the agreements between Verizon and the villages of Roslyn and Manorhaven and the Town of Babylon are subject to review by the New York State Public Service Commission.

Verizon's FiOS TV is a formidable competitor to cable and satellite, offering a broad collection of all-digital programming, 30 high-definition (HD) channels in the New York market and access to more than 10,000 on-demand titles, 70 percent of which are free.

Verizon's fiber network delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. In addition to FiOS TV, Verizon's fiber network also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps, as well as high-quality voice service.*

Roslyn, Manorhaven and Babylon join a growing list of New York communities that are paving the way for competition and choice in the television market. In addition to these three, Verizon has been granted video franchises in the following municipalities:

iSECUREtrac Announces Contract With VA Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center

OMAHA, Neb., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iSECUREtrac Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: ISEC) , an industry leader in electronic monitoring solutions, announced today that, after intensive field evaluations involving several electronic monitoring suppliers, it was awarded a contract for electronic monitoring systems and services by Virginia's Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center.

Operating under the direction of the Virginia Department of Corrections, the Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center supervises approximately 1,000 inmates who are nearing completion of their sentence and who meet specific eligibility criteria established for participation in Virginia's work release program. Under the terms of the contract, iSECUREtrac will provide the Detention Center its latest System 5000 Active GPS, as well as iSECUREtrac Passive GPS, In-Home Alcohol Monitoring, and House Arrest Systems.

iSECUREtrac provides a complete suite of electronic monitoring systems designed specifically for community corrections. Its System 5000, which incorporates the industry's most advanced GPS components, provides location and compliance information in real-time. iSECUREtrac's Passive GPS system provides all the detail of its active system but sends reports on a delayed basis, usually a couple of times during a 24 hour period. When the alcohol consumption of a participant is restricted, iSECUREtrac's MEMS 2000 ensures program compliance. The MEMS 2000 measures breath alcohol content and provides visual identification of the program participant, eliminating the need for home visits by an officer or the requirement for testing in a central facility. House arrest or curfew management systems by iSECUREtrac provide information regarding an individual's presence or absence at a specific location, usually a residence, during specified time periods.

"We look forward to working with Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center by providing supervisory assistance for its work release program," said Peter Michel, President and CEO of iSECUREtrac, Corp. "The wealth of data supplied by iSECUREtrac's electronic monitoring systems can help Detention Center officers better manage work release compliance and reinforce those positive behaviors necessary for a successful transition from incarceration to full community re-entry."

Cyberlux Receives National Stocking Number Designations from the Defense Logistics AgencyAssignment of National Stocking Numbers enables Global Military Sales for Cyberlux Portable Illumination Systems.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cyberlux Corporation, (BULLETIN BOARD: CYBL) , a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the Defense Logistics Agency has awarded National Stocking Numbers to the Cyberlux Portable Illumination System line of products. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the largest combat support agency within the Department of Defense (DOD), is the source for nearly every supply item, whether for combat readiness, emergency preparedness or the day-to-day operations of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and federal agencies. National Stocking Numbers (NSNs) are standardized, officially recognized item numbers used by the United States Government, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and many governments around the world to purchase and manage billions of dollars worth of procurement annually. The assignment of NSNs will enable Cyberlux to easily and efficiently expand their military customer base to the global military marketplace.

The Cyberlux Portable Illumination Systems are designed as visible and night-vision compatible illumination systems for mission-critical tactical lighting that requires rapidly deployable, high-intensity lighting capability. Using advanced optics, advanced solid-state lighting technology, and light-weight advanced battery power, all contained in easily transportable wheeled cases, the WatchDog and BrightEye tactical lighting systems provide broad area visible white lighting and night-vision compatible IR lighting capable of operating all night on an advanced battery power system, capabilities not available in traditional lighting systems.

"Gaining National Stocking Numbers for our WatchDog and BrightEye products is an important step in the expansion of our supply capabilities within the DOD purchasing community. With these NSN designations, our tactical lighting systems are now available to all purchasing organizations within the U.S. government as well as the global military community," said Mark Schmidt, president and chief operating officer for Cyberlux. "We expect this to contribute to our military sales growth during the balance of this year and extend our revenue growth beyond the $8.0 million 2008 DOD budget level."

The Cyberlux Portable Illumination Systems were first available through the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule 56 for Specialty Lighting products under Cyberlux GSA Contract GS-07F-9409S and will continue to be purchasable through the GSA. The new National Stocking Numbers assigned to the Cyberlux Portable Illumination System products are:

The 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations legislation established a National Program of $8.0 million for the equipping of the United States Air Force with Cyberlux Portable Illumination Systems during Fiscal Year 2008 ending September 30th. The designation of the NSNs will enable Cyberlux to meet these requirements as well as the additional requests for Cyberlux equipment from other branches of the U.S. Armed Services as well as NATO.

Massive Inc est le premier réseau de publicité intrajeu dynamique à Ãªtre validé par un processus de contrôle tiers

NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Alors que les médias intrajeu sont en pleine évolution, l'exactitude éprouvée du dénombrement d'impressions de Massive procure une grande responsabilité aux annonceurs et aux agences de publicité.

Massive Inc, filiale à part entière de Microsoft Corp et réseau de premier plan pour la publicité de jeux vidéo, a annoncé aujourd'hui qu'elle a finalisé avec succès un contrôle mené par Interactive Media Services Group Ltd (ImServices) visant à vérifier l'exactitude du processus de dénombrement d'impressions de Massive. En tant que premier réseau de publicité intrajeu dynamique à subir un contrôle d'impression par un tiers, Massive procure aux annonceurs et aux agences de publicité la responsabilité requise d'un type de média évolué.

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

<< Le contrôle effectué par ImServices, leader de l'industrie du contrôle de sites Web et de réseaux de publicité, est la plus récente confirmation selon laquelle le réseau de publicité intrajeu de Massive prend les mesures nécessaires pour évoluer rapidement et offrir le niveau de mesure et de responsabilité auquel s'attendent nos clients >>, a affirmé Cory Van Arsdale, président-directeur général de Massive. << En tant que pionniers et innovateurs importants de l'industrie de l'intrajeu, nous restons engagés envers nos procédés à un niveau élevé de transparence et d'intégrité, et pour nous, le contrôle par un tiers représente une étape cruciale. >>

<< Notre révision des contrôles de Massive sur l'exécution de publicités, les mesures et la sécurité des données montre que Massive se conforme aux directives de contrôle et de mesure d'impressions de publicités de l'Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) ainsi qu'aux normes minimales applicables telles que publiées par le Media Rating Council (MRC) >>, a déclaré Dick Bennett, PDG d'ImServices. << J'estime qu'il est important que Massive, l'un des principaux joueurs de l'industrie du jeu en ligne, ait pris le rôle de leader et devienne le premier réseau de publicité intrajeu à chercher à subir un contrôle par un tiers. >>

Massive fera l'objet de contrôles annuels sur la performance de ses procédures actuelles reposant sur des normes pour l'exactitude et la responsabilité. Le contrôle vérifie, tout spécialement, que le processus de dénombrement d'impressions de Massive est constant, et que les dimensions, les angles et les seuils cumulatifs sont reflétés précisément dans les activités et les technologies du réseau.

Alors qu'aucune norme n'existe actuellement dans l'industrie pour les mesures de publicité intrajeu, Massive sera l'une des quelques sociétés de publicité intrajeu à collaborer avec l'IAB et le MRC pour élaborer des normes acceptables. Une fois que ces directives seront mises en place, Massive évaluera ses procédés, fera les ajustements nécessaires pour qu'ils soient entièrement conformes et s'en servira de base pour tous les contrôles ultérieurs.

La vaste expérience acquise par l'équipe chez ImServices a offert à Massive un aperçu important sur les besoins des annonceurs en ligne, des fournisseurs de contenu et des prestataires de services. Les membres de l'équipe possèdent une connaissance approfondie des processus impliqués dans le développement de normes de mesure indépendantes et sont profondément engagés dans divers programmes visant à créer ces normes cruciales pour le milieu de la publicité en ligne. En jouant un rôle actif dans des organisations clés comme l'Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) et l'Advertising Research Foundation (ARF), ils ont contribué à la création de normes de vérification et de mesure en ligne en constante évolution.

Ã€ propos de Massive Inc

Massive Inc, filiale à part entière de Microsoft Corp, est le créateur d'un réseau de premier ordre de publicité de jeux vidéo dynamique. Le réseau Massive permet aux annonceurs d'engager un public de joueurs en temps réel à travers des plates-formes multiples.

Les éditeurs du réseau Massive génèrent des revenus par le biais de publicités intrajeu dynamiques, ce qui leur permet d'exploiter pleinement la valeur de leur contenu tout en préservant et en optimisant l'expérience de jeu. La technologie de Massive permet l'intégration contextuelle de toutes les formes de médias et de contenu de publicité téléchargeables à l'environnement de jeu, y compris les formats image, audio, vidéo, et objet de jeu.

Wherify Wireless Announces Letter of Intent to Merge with Lightyear Network Solutions

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wherify Wireless, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: WFYW) , home of the award winning Wherifone GPS Locator Phone and the Springboard Location Based Services Platform, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. to merge its business into Wherify.

The proposed merger of Wherify and Lightyear would be conditioned on, among other things, negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, approval of the merger by the shareholders of both companies, obtaining a minimum of $15 million in new equity capital and restructuring of existing debt. The letter of intent specifies that no more than $2.5 million of the new equity capital would be used to restructure Wherify's current unsecured liabilities (approximately $16 million) and $2.5 million of such equity capital would be used to restructure Wherify's secured debt with Yorkville Associates. The letter of intent contemplates that the combined company would retain approximately $2.5 million of secured debt with Yorkville Associates. After repayment of approximately $800,000 of expected new bridge indebtedness and payment of transaction expenses and associated legal fees, the combined company would have approximately, $6.5 million in working capital. Wherify has not yet obtained binding commitments for the bridge financing, equity financing or debt restructuring. There is also no guaranty or assurance that the final restructuring terms, if any, will not be materially different upon further negotiations and due diligence.

Wherify, a pioneer in the rapidly emerging location based service business, is in the process of completing its proprietary location based service platform, Springboard. The Springboard platform is being designed to enable mobile communications carriers, mobile application providers and mobile device manufacturers to develop a wide array of location based services applications for their products, such as mobile social networking, mobile community search and shopping and fleet management. Springboard technology includes support of both GPS and non GPS equipped devices.

Lightyear, a closely-held private company, is a business and network service solutions company generating annual revenues in 2007 of approximately $65 million with an EBITDA of $2.2 million. Lightyear provides a host of telecom products and services for business and individual customers, including, among other things, integrated network access service for voice, data, private lines, VoIP services to over 4,000 business enterprise clients nationally. Sherman Henderson, Lightyear's President and CEO and the six-year incumbent chairman of COMPTEL, said, "Merging the unique location based services platform from Wherify with Lightyear's strong customer service focus, our potent multi-channel distribution network and our strong telecom industry relationships has the potential to geometrically enhance the combined company's business prospects."

Vince Sheeran, Wherify's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Bringing together Wherify's proprietary location based service platform with Lightyear's established leadership in customer support, multi-channel distribution and carrier presence is an excellent fit. We believe the proposed merger of Wherify and Lightyear has the potential to unlock the unfulfilled promise that location based services have represented for the wireless industry."

If the merger is completed as contemplated in the letter of intent, Mr. Henderson would be named the Chairman and CEO of Wherify, and Wherify would change its name to Lightyear Network Solutions. Under the present terms of the non binding letter of intent, Lightyear shareholders would receive approximately 51% of the pro-forma fully-diluted shares outstanding on the closing date of the merger and will have the right to choose 60% of the Board of Directors.

To facilitate the combination, Yorkville Advisors and Wherify entered into a forbearance agreement on May 19, 2008 under which Yorkville Advisors agreed in principal to the terms of the letter of intent and to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under its secured debenture with Wherify.

Learning To Change/Changing To LearnCoSN and Pearson Foundation Launch New PSA to Spotlight Transformative Role of Technology in K-12 Education

WASHINGTON, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and the Pearson Foundation today announced the official launch of a new public service announcement (PSA), "Learning to Change/Changing to Learn." The five-minute video, previewed in Singapore during the Pearson International 2008 Conference on Science & Mathematics hosted by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the Pearson Foundation, shares the views of an international panel of key educators and thought leaders. Together, their voices document the need for all educational stakeholders to develop contemporary classroom practices that incorporate technology to individualize and maximize student learning.

Beginning today, the PSA will be available for free, downloadable at each organization's website (http://www.cosn.org/ and http://www.pearsonfoundation.org/); via YouTube; and from a variety of education-focused social networking sites. It will also be broadcast and shared by both groups and by the leading educators who participated in the presentation.

"Each of us involved in the making of this new public service announcement hopes to add to the continuing conversation about the important role technology can play in delivering 21st century skills; engaging students in learning; and helping students to achieve essential educational goals," said Pearson Foundation President Mark Nieker. "We hope the video will be used to start new conversations by educators and policymakers at PTO, school board, chamber of commerce and other community meetings."

The video features insightful commentary from the following international educators and education technology thought leaders:

-- Deborah Baker, Superintendent, Leroy CSD, NY -- Greg Black, CEO, education.au limited, Australia -- Chris Dede, Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education -- Julie Evans, CEO, Project Tomorrow -- Karen Greenwood Henke, Writer and Consultant, Nimble Press & CoSN Board Member -- Stephen Heppell, CEO, Heppell.Net Ltd., UK -- Keith Krueger, CEO, CoSN -- Ken Kay, President, Partnership for 21st Century Skills, e-Luminate Group -- Cheryl Lemke, CEO, Metiri Group -- Barbara S. Nielson, Former South Carolina State Superintendent of Education -- Susan Patrick, CEO, NACOL (North American Council for Online Learning) -- Daniel Pink, Author, A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future -- Greg Whitby, Director of Schools, Catholic Education Office, Diocese of Parramatta, Australia -- Young Zhao, University Distinguished Professor and Executive Director, Confucius Institute, College of Education, Michigan State University

Each participant agreed to take part in "Learning to Change/Changing to Learn" in an effort to stimulate a global dialogue about the need for change in education, and the role that technology might play.

"Each participant shares CoSN's desire to encourage dialog and consideration of the role that technology has to play in education," said Keith Krueger, CEO of CoSN. "Most children arrive at the typical school coming from a technologically-advanced world full of interactivity and connectedness. Yet when they cross the classroom threshold, most technologies they find engaging are banned. If we want to prepare our students with skills to succeed, we need to rethink education. Technology has transformed every other industry sector. It is time we focus on how technology can personalize and transform learning."

"Learning to Change/Changing to Learn" is the second in a series of public service announcements planned by CoSN and the Pearson Foundation, each focused on the challenges and opportunities of integrating technology into teaching practice around the world. In April, the organizations released "Empowering the 21st Century Superintendent," which collects the voices of U.S. school superintendents on the integrated role of technology and education. Last November, CoSN, the Pearson Foundation, and senior U.S. educators and policymakers traveled to Scandinavia to explore how high performing educational systems around the world are investing in technology to create 21st century learning environments.

About the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN)

CoSN is the country's premier voice in education technology leadership, serving K-12 technology leaders who through their strategic use of technology, improve teaching and learning. CoSN provides products and services to support and nurture leadership development, advocacy, coalition building, and awareness of emerging technologies.

Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg Announces Plan to Protect Children by Providing Free Online Parental Controls to Consumer Broadband CustomersAnnouncement Made at WiredSafety's 'Stop Cyberbullying Conference' at Pace University

NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Stating that "parents will not feel comfortable with their children's embrace of technology unless they know their children are safe," Verizon Communications Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ivan Seidenberg announced plans Tuesday (June 3) to provide free online parental controls to Verizon consumer broadband customers.

Seidenberg made the announcement at WiredSafety's Stop Cyberbullying Conference at the Schimmel Theater at Pace University. The two-day event is designed to raise awareness of cyberbullying and to encourage parents, children, educators and others to get involved in combating the problem.

Among the parental tools that Verizon will soon make available are: * A content blocker that will allow parents to prevent children from viewing selected topics on the Internet. * Application filters that will allow parents to limit access to applications they do not want their children to use. * The ability for parents to designate specific time periods when the Internet or certain functions cannot be used.

Seidenberg, who at the conference received WiredSafety's Internet Superhero Award for Verizon's long-standing commitment to Internet safety, said, "Broadband technology presents a tremendous opportunity. But we know that people will only fully utilize broadband networks if they trust that their personal information will remain private, and that parents will not feel comfortable with their children's embrace of technology unless they know their children are safe.

"Verizon has tried to stay ahead of the curve on both fronts, and that's why we've decided to make even more tools available to our customers for free," Seidenberg said.

Parry Aftab, founder of WiredSafety.org, said, "Verizon has a long history of getting behind the issues. Not just the issues that are good for the bottom line, but issues that are good for consumers generally. Leading the pack, Verizon takes the hard position and takes it first."

The Stop Cyberbullying Conference, hosted by WiredSafety, Pace University and Westchester County, included panel discussions with child safety officers, government officials, victims of cyberbullying, and Tina Meier, the mother of Megan Meier, a 13-year-old Missouri girl who committed suicide after being bullied online.

Tina Meier spoke at the conference to help raise awareness of cyberbullying and generate support for The Megan Pledge, an online effort to rally 1 million young people to pledge to stop cyberbullying.

The pledge, named in honor of Megan Meier, was created by the New Rochelle chapter of Teenangels (Teenangels.org), a group of 13-to-18-year-old volunteers who have been trained by law enforcement officers and safety experts in all aspects of online safety, privacy and security.

Since the campaign was launched in late May, more than 235,000 teens have signed the online pledge -- at myYearbook.com/meganpledge.

Previous winners of the Internet Superhero Award are John Carr, a United Kingdom cybersafety pioneer; Paul Gillespie, a Toronto police officer who worked to develop technology to fight child pornography; and U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, for his leadership on the issue.

A webcast of the conference is available online at http://72.32.208.177/webcast/prcast/cyber_bully.htm
