Camila Goes Mobile With Verizon Wireless - Offering Exclusive Tracks Only to V CAST CustomersHottest Mexican Group Kicks-Off U.S. Tour with Wireless Technology that Lets Fans Savor the Experience Beyond the Concert

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Camila, the hottest group in Latin music right now, is launching their first headlining U.S. tour with a 17-city schedule that kicks off in Miami, on June 6. This Latin sensation, whose albums have sold in excess of 800,000 units worldwide, has joined forces with Verizon Wireless to further connect with fans via mobile technology. Camila's song, "Todo Cambio," recently won two Billboard awards for the album of the same name, which has sold nearly 400,000 copies in the U.S. in 12 months.

Verizon Wireless customers who download Camila's content via their V CAST-enabled handsets will have a chance to win a pair of tickets sent directly to their phones. These mobile tickets will be their entry into the show. Others may purchase tickets at traditional outlets. For more information go to http://www.camilainconcert.com/

"We can't wait to embark on our first ever U.S. tour, where we will get to meet our Latin fans in America," said Jorge Juarez, manager for Camila. "We couldn't be more excited to finally hit the road on our first tour of the U.S. with Verizon Wireless, who is always at the forefront of mobile technology and great new music. We're going to do it Latin style and it's going to be a HOT summer run."

"We are thrilled to deliver our customers the hottest Latin group in music right now," said Ed Ruth, director of digital music for Verizon. "Together we will reach Camila fans via their cell phones and deliver a fun and interactive tour experience that will extend far beyond the live performance."

Verizon Wireless extends the Camila experience before and after each show by delivering the following:

Exclusive Music

Verizon Wireless will deliver six Camila songs exclusively to V CAST Music customers. These songs are not available anywhere else in the U.S. and can be downloaded over-the-air directly to fans' phones as a full-song download, a ringtone or ringback tone.

At select shows, fans have the opportunity to star in a music video with Camila via a green screen. Fans can "be in the band" and appear as though they are performing with Camila. Video clips will be sent directly to fans via their mobile phones, to share with their friends.

Mobile Tickets

Verizon Wireless customers in each of the tour cities who have downloaded any type of Camila mobile content from V CAST will be entered for a chance to win one of 10 pairs of tickets. These loyal customers and fans will receive a mobile ticket sent directly to their phones that is good for two tickets to the hottest Latin show in town.

Song ID stations will be set up at each venue to demonstrate to fans how to use V CAST Song ID to listen to a four-song live Camila EP available exclusively through Verizon Wireless. Fans can easily purchase songs from Camila, including the exclusive live EP, the matching ringtone or ringback tone with just one click. The Camila tour presented by Verizon Wireless is in support of their latest album, "Todo Cambio," which has already spawned the hit title track "Todo Cambio," which was nominated last year for a Latin Grammy. The album has been hailed as one of the most important and romantic releases of 2007 and has placed them at the top of the Mexican and U.S. charts as one of the fastest growing Latin groups today.

Spherion Survey Shows First Increase in Overall Employee Confidence Index in Nine MonthsConfidence in the Economy Increases Even as Personal Job Security Declines- Sixty-four Percent of Workers Express Confidence in the Future of Their Current Employer- Slightly More Workers Believe the Economy is Getting Stronger- Seventy-five Percent of Workers Believe they are Unlikely to Lose Their Jobs

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Spherion(R) Employee Confidence Index rose 0.7 points to 46.9 in May, showing the first increase in nine months. The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive(R) on behalf of Spherion Corporation , reflects workers' increasing confidence in the economy, as more workers report that the economy is getting stronger in May.

More workers, however, expressed concern about their personal job security. Seventy-five percent say it is unlikely they will lose their job in the next 12 months, a decline of three percentage points from the prior month. Two other key indicators also declined slightly. Sixty-four percent said they are confident in the future of their current employer, while just over half (51 percent) express confidence in their ability to find a new job. Both indicators dropped one percentage point from April.

"While some industries, such as manufacturing, have been performing better than expected, the simmering fears about job loss persist," said William Grubbs, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Spherion Corporation. "Even if they are employed and feel that their employer is doing well, many people know someone who has been laid off or is struggling and that insecurity creates a ripple effect, however subtle.

"What's important to keep in mind, however, is that the jobs picture is multifaceted. While some industries are in decline, others are growing rapidly. In addition, the prospects for college graduates, although not as expansive as in past years, are still relatively good. Some regions, particularly those with colleges and universities, have put a strong focus on recruiting talent prior to graduation. In turn, these areas have become major employment centers. Although there may be common threads, people in different industries or at different stages of their careers will have varied experiences. Right now, there is no 'one' economy or 'one' job market. These 'mixed messages' are evident in the survey, where workers' views about the strength of the economy are inching up even as they express doubts about their own job situation."

Results from the May Spherion Employment Report:

Confidence Level Up for the First Time in 2008: The Spherion Employee Confidence Index increased for the first time in nine months, rising 0.7 points to 46.9 in May. The Index, which measures workers' confidence in their personal employment situation and optimism in the macroeconomic environment, reveals that while workers' personal confidence has declined slightly, their views of the macroeconomic situation is on the rise.

Details of the Index: Macroeconomic Confidence: -- Twelve percent of U.S. adult workers believe there are more jobs available, unchanged from the previous month. -- Seven percent of workers report that the economy is getting stronger, increasing two percentage points from April. Personal Confidence: -- Sixty-four percent of U.S. adult workers feel confident in the future of their current employer, a decrease of one percentage point from April. -- The percentage of U.S. adult workers confident in their ability to find a new job decreased one percentage point to 51 percent in May.

Job Security: Three-quarters of Workers Say it is Unlikely they will Lose Their Job

-- Seventy-five percent of U.S. workers say it is unlikely they will lose their jobs in the next 12 months, a decrease of three percentage points from April.

Job Transition: Percentage of Workers Likely to Look for a New Job Unchanged

-- Thirty-five percent of workers are likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months, unchanged from the prior month. About the Spherion Employment Report

As part of the Spherion(R) Emerging Workforce(R) Series of employment surveys, the monthly Spherion Employment Report provides a snapshot of the latest workforce trends across the country and is issued in conjunction with state and national labor market releases. Three key indices are measured: the Spherion Job Security Index, which captures how likely respondents think it is that they will lose their job or that their job will be eliminated in the next 12 months; the Spherion Job Transition Index, which captures how likely respondents are to look for a new job in the next 12 months and the Employee Confidence Index that measures employees' overall confidence in the economy, their employer and their ability to find other employment. The Employee Confidence Index is calculated from the results of four components that reflect these aspects of employee confidence. For each component item a 'score' is calculated by taking the difference of the percentage of positive responses and the percentage of negative responses. These four scores are then averaged to indicate an overall level of employee confidence, with each score ranking on a scale from 0 (no confidence) to 100 (complete confidence). A reading above 50 indicates a positive confidence level.

Methodology

This May 2008 Spherion Employment Tracker was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of Spherion Corporation between May 7-9 and May 12-14, 2008 among a U.S. sample of 2,604 employed adults, aged 18 years and older (April 2008 n=2,836). Results were weighted as needed for age, sex, race/ethnicity, income, education and region. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.

All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Harris Interactive avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal.

Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the U.S. adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to be invited to participate in the Harris Interactive online research panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Guangzhou Global Telecom Review 2008 1Q Results

GUANGZHOU, China, June 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Guangzhou Global Telecom Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: GZGT) , a mobile phone handset, pre-paid calling card distributor and provider of value-added mobile services in the PRC, reported $7,672,427 in 1Q revenues as compared to $3,762,418 during the same period ended in 2007, representing an increase of $3,910,009 or 104%.

The significant increase in revenue is primarily contributed by the foundation work laid in 2007 which saw the Company expand in other parts of China with new branches being set up. The increase in revenue is extremely important as it means the Company has not only cemented its market share, but also enlarged its customer base and network simultaneously. At a time when the mobile industry is restructuring, an expanded presence puts the Company in good stead to capitalize on any first-hand opportunities. The first three months of 2008 added more than 20 million subscribers, based on government data. This growth figure is the main driver behind the Company's rapid expansion in China.

The gross profit increased from $113,159 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $684,643 in the same period of 2008. The increase of gross profit is mainly generated from the increase in revenue. Meanwhile, the gross margin saw a marked improvement from 3% during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to 9% in this 1Q of FY 2008. Following changes in the sales model of China Mobile Guangzhou from the first quarter of 2007, the management responded by adopting several initiatives in expanding our sales segments and regions to eliminate this effect.

General and administrative expenses were $705,723 as compared to $73,053 for the same period ended in 2007, an increase of $632,670. The increase resulted mainly from an expansion in network operations, increased travelling and administrative expenses recorded in this quarter due to additional set-ups of sales representative-offices to handle a growing customer base, and a one- time incentive bonus payment.

Operating loss of $187,546 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to a gain of $15,437 during the same period of 2007. The loss was mainly due to the one-off incentive payment.

Interest expenses were $169,629 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which mainly included the interest payment of convertible debt and fund- raising costs related to the second installment of convertible debt financing.

Net loss was recorded at $416,757 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to net profit of $12,414 during the same period of 2007. The loss was mainly due to a non-recurring payment and convertible debt interest expenses recorded during this quarter.

"All our efforts and capital investments towards building and exploring new market regions and sales channels have finally begun to reap rewards. Our 2Q results will validate this. China is the biggest mobile market with 583.5 million users at the end of April, exceeding the combined populations of US and Japan. To conclude, China has a 1.3 billion potential mobile users market and this translates into our potential too," commented an enthusiastic CEO Miss Li Yankuan.

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

LITCHFIELD, Conn., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Litchfield County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along Route 202 between Torrington and downtown Litchfield, and Route 63 in Litchfield between Goshen and Bethlehem, Connecticut, as well as the surrounding area.

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.

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers.

Coast Guard Presents Meritorious Team Commendation to SRA Team MembersSRA Recognized for Successful PeopleSoft Implementation Supporting 50,000

FAIRFAX, Va., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. , a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations, has received a U.S. Coast Guard Meritorious Team Commendation for its PeopleSoft deployment supporting 50,000 Coast Guard military retirees and annuitants. The new system went live April 1, with the first pension and annuity payments issued this month. The team was made up of Coast Guard civilians and military members, with SRA as the prime systems integrator.

"Faced with implementing major changes to existing business processes as well as having to manage the extremely difficult technical integration challenges of the integration, the team worked diligently to implement the intricate business process reengineering plan which would address customer and software developer concerns," commended Rear Adm. Clifford Pearson, U.S. Coast Guard. "The dedication, pride and professionalism displayed by the USCG global payroll development and implementation team reflect great credit upon each team member, and the U.S. Coast Guard."

The replacement system brings state-of-the-art security, data integrity, workflow, and internal controls to the Coast Guard, and leverages PeopleSoft's Pure Internet Architecture (PIA). Calculations in the old system were prone to error as they were performed manually, and during testing SRA and the Coast Guard uncovered and remedied thousands of data errors in the legacy system. In the new global payroll system, these calculations are automatic and have been extensively tested for accuracy. Adding to the complexity, laws governing the administration of military retired pay change annually, and are usually driven by several key dates and events associated with the member's career history, and the SRA implementation team ensures that all current rules were implemented correctly, and laid the groundwork for future additions and modifications to these rules.

"The Coast Guard is a strategic customer of SRA's, and we are very committed to their mission," said SRA Civil Sector Senior Vice President Max Hall. "Integrating critical business systems like these, with a significant impact in daily business processes, is a great accomplishment for the entire Coast Guard team."

Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for STMicroelectronics, Qimonda, Micron, and SanDisk

PRINCETON, N.J., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for STMicroelectronics , Qimonda , Micron and SanDisk .

In a series of reports released in March, Editor Paul McWilliams advised readers it was time to buy specific tech stocks. All of his selections have gone up considerably with one very near doubling. Now sitting on handsome profits, what does McWilliams think investors should do: Add to positions on strength, hedge or take some profits? Well, according to him, that depends on which of the dozen or so stocks you're talking about. To read his updated thoughts and enjoy a 21-day free trial of Next Inning, please click the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn681

In his report on worldwide semiconductor sales, McWilliams wrote: "An interesting twist to the thinking that NAND Flash will capture market share in the PC and server markets is the fact that Intel has invested heavily with Micron to develop advanced NAND Flash devices. Earlier this year, the joint venture announced a new NAND Flash device capable of delivering five times the speed of competing NAND devices..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- What is holding STMicro back right now and how much upside could the stock see on an improvement in economic sentiment? -- Qimonda and Micron are down 81% and 63% respectively since McWilliams' call to sell in late 2006. Have memory market dynamics put these stocks back in favor after their steep declines? -- How will trends in NAND Flash impact SanDisk? What is McWilliams' target for SanDisk's upside this year?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 254% since its inception versus 97% for the Nasdaq.

AT&T Expands Wireless Network for Buffalo CustomersNetwork Upgrade is Part of $80 Million Planned Investment in Upstate/Western New York

BUFFALO, N.Y., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. is supporting its continued commitment to Buffalo area customers with the largest wireless network investment in the region since 2005. The company's planned $80 million investment in the upstate/western New York area this year will bring the planned four-year territory investment total to more than $250 million.

AT&T has delivered dramatic change to the network experience for customers in the Buffalo area -- a direct result of the company's ongoing efforts to expand and enhance its network operations and the synergies that come from being part of the world's largest communications company.

Part of the 2008 investment plan calls for more than 50 new cell sites in upstate. In the Buffalo area, new cell sites are expected to go live in the Gates Circle area as well as in Derby, Elma Tonawanda and West Seneca by the end of summer. The company also added new sites recently in Orchard Park and East Aurora.

AT&T plans to triple the size of its high speed mobile broadband footprint in the Buffalo area by expanding to Niagara County and further south into Erie County later this summer. AT&T's high speed 3G network currently brings mobile broadband capability and enhanced in-building coverage to customers in the greater Buffalo area including the entire city of Buffalo as well as in Amherst, Blasdell, Cheektowaga, Clarence, Williamsville, Depew, Kenmore, Lackawanna, Tonawanda, West Seneca, Orchard Park and Lancaster.

"AT&T's network in the Buffalo area is better than ever. We aren't the same AT&T that you might have known years ago. Our planned network investment this year underscores our dedication to consumers and businesses in western New York," said Jay Summerson, vice president, External Affairs for AT&T in New York. "We have not only enhanced voice quality and boosted our in-building coverage -- but we've also enabled our customers to work faster without wires -- and enjoy more robust speeds on their laptops and mobile phones."

HSPA is the most advanced GSM data technology, providing average downlink speeds between 700-1700 kilobits per second (Kbps) for advanced devices. These enhanced speeds allow AT&T customers to download a 5 MB file in 25 seconds, a three minute song (about 3MB) in 15 seconds and a Ringtone that might take one minute and 45 seconds over slower mobile technologies - only takes an average of 25 seconds on AT&T's 3G network.

With the new addition of HSUPA technology, AT&T customers can enjoy uplink speeds between 500 and 800 Kbps. The new upload speeds complement AT&T's 3G download capabilities, which currently offer up to 1.4 Mbps across all markets for customers who have capable devices, such as AT&T's LaptopConnect wireless modems.

Equally as important as the network is the device through which a customer experiences it. AT&T's handset portfolio in company-owned stores is more than 75 percent 3G-capable -- and will be even more enticing with the addition of more 3G-enabled smartphones in the summer and fall of 2008.

AT&T's 3G network is now available in more than 275 U.S. major metropolitan areas. The company will deliver 3G service to nearly 350 leading U.S. markets by the end of 2008.

"I know that the SEC has an obligation to look into allegations it receives about any company -- even when those allegations are false," said Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com's chairman and chief executive officer. "I believe that this inquiry was initiated, and persisted, because of false allegations made by a cohesive group of short sellers and a few financial journalists who dutifully serve them. In this case, I believe these folks fomented the SEC investigation against Overstock.com then tried to claim that the existence of an SEC investigation was evidence of wrong doing. We knew that was false."

Byrne added, "Yipikaye." About Overstock.com

Communication Intelligence Corporation Closes $3.6 Million Financing

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Communication Intelligence Corporation (the "Company") (BULLETIN BOARD: CICI) , a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions for business process automation in the financial industry and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification, announced today that it has closed a financing, on June 5, 2008, led by Phoenix Venture Fund LLC (the "Investor").

As part of the financing, the Company borrowed a total of $3,637,500 million (the "Loan") from the Investor, which is a major shareholder of the Company, and two individuals (the "Additional Lenders"). The Company received net proceeds of $2,675,000 after financing related expenses of $325,000 and refinancing $600,000 of debt previously issued to the Additional Lenders, as well as an additional $37,500 in accrued and unpaid interest on such $600,000 through May 31, 2008 at 15% per annum. The Loan, which is secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiary, CIC Acquisition Corp., bears interest at 8% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in kind at the Company's option, and matures June 5, 2010. The Company also issued to the Investor and the Additional Lenders warrants to purchase 25,982,143 shares of the Company's common stock, which are exercisable at $0.14 per share at any time after the Company secures approval from its stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock (which approval is expected to be secured at the Company's upcoming annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 30, 2008), until June 30, 2011.

Contemporaneously with the closing of the Loan, the Company also issued 1,040,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") in exchange for the cancellation of $995,000 of existing debt, as well as an additional $45,000 in accrued and unpaid interest thereon, held by several lenders, including one of the Additional Lenders and several entities related to that Additional Lender. Such cancelled debt was due in September and December of 2008 and carried interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The Preferred Shares are entitled to an 8% dividend per annum, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional Preferred Shares at the Company's option and have a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share over common stock. The Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock at the conversion price of $0.14 per share any time after the Company secures approval from its stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, which approval is expected to be secured at the Company's upcoming annual meeting of stockholders, to be held on June 30, 2008. If the Company is unable to secure such approval, it will be an event of default under the Loan, which would permit acceleration of the Loan, and the Company will be required to make a rescission offer to the holders of the Preferred Shares who upon acceptance of such offer, will receive a note identical to the original note exchange for the Preferred Shares. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement requiring it to register the common shares underlying the warrants and Preferred Shares issued as described above.
