SRS Labs and VIZIO Develop Multi-Year Strategic Partnership- New licensing agreement provides VIZIO access to SRS technologies for VIZIO branded TVs and accessories- VIZIO is the fastest growing flat panel TV brand is the US with LCD and Plasma models ranging from 20 inches to 60 inches

SANTA ANA, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs, Inc. , the industry leader in surround sound, audio and voice technologies, announced today that they have formed a long-term strategic partnership with U.S.-based VIZIO granting the HDTV manufacturer access to SRS' portfolio of audio and surround sound technologies for their TV and accessory products. VIZIO's first technology implementation will be SRS TruSurround XT(R) in flat panel TVs, beginning in Q2 2008.

VIZIO, the number 2 flat panel TV Brand in North America and number 8 worldwide for Q1 2008, is one of the industry's fastest growing brands of HDTVs. Offering some of the most affordable HDTVs on the market, VIZIO also provides state-of-the-art features and technologies making them an ideal partner for SRS. The pairing of the two companies ensures consumers the best possible entertainment experience.

SRS TruSurround XT is a sophisticated multichannel processing technology which takes the surround content found in television shows and movies and creates an immersive theater-like entertainment experience over the TV's built-in stereo speakers. With the size of the bezels shrinking in each new generation of flat panel TVs, audio quality becomes a greater concern because the drivers are also becoming increasingly smaller. With TruSurround XT, it is possible to provide correction for even the smallest speakers, regardless of whether they are down-firing or side-firing. The result is an engaging surround sound effect without the clutter, wires, added expense or complexity of a multi-speaker configuration.

"VIZIO prides itself on offering the most affordable HDTVs at any size, yet, we also want to provide our end users with the most current features and quality available," said John Morriss, VIZIO vice president and general manager of VIZIO's TV Business Unit. "With the physical constraints of today's slimmer FPTVs, an optimal audio experience is a greater challenge. Working closely with SRS' engineering team to custom-tune TruSurround XT to fit our product requirements, we've been able to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality surround sound experience from VIZIO TVs. We are very pleased to partner with SRS Labs to deliver state-of the-art audio performance that supports our aggressive business model," added Morriss.

A 2007 Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) report found that 76% of all flat panel TVs are used without a separate audio amplification system and, therefore, consumer are left to rely on the internal speakers of the television when watching TV. In another study conducted by MarketTools, when asked what consumers would like to change about the TV they watch most often, consumers ranked "Better Sound" second, just behind larger screen size. Through the inclusion of SRS TruSurround XT in their TVs, VIZIO is providing consumers a cost effective solution to experience superior sound with high quality surround effects, drastically improving the experience of watching DVD movies and multichannel TV broadcasts.

"We are excited about this new strategic relationship with one of the leading flat panel TV brands in the US. The combination of our innovative technology designs and the ability to customize TruSurround XT for optimum performance with VIZIO products enables us to provide a great entertainment experience without any extra components, wires, or expenses," said Allen Gharapetian, VP of Marketing for SRS Labs.

VIZIO will initially ship three models with SRS TruSurround XT, which includes a 42 and a 47-inch LCD plus a 50-inch plasma. Starting in the second quarter of 2008, these models will be available at Costco, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Sears, K-Mart and Circuit City.

To celebrate this announcement, SRS Labs is running a sweepstakes together with its sponsoring partner, VIZIO, to give away 3 flat panel TVs featuring SRS TruSurround XT surround sound technology (a 42" and 47" LCD and a 50" Plasma). The sweepstakes will take place June 10 - July 4, 2008. To enter for your chance to win, please visit http://www.srslabs.com/TVsweepstakes.

comScore Adds Acxiom PersonicX(R) Segments to comScore Segment Metrix ServicePersonicX Segments Help Align Online and Offline Media Planning

RESTON, Va., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. , a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced the addition of Acxiom's PersonicX segments to the comScore Segment Metrix service for the U.S. market. This powerful new offering is targeted at advertising agencies and marketers seeking higher performing online media plans. Using comScore Segment Metrix, media planners can reach specific lifestage segments with an optimized buy across thousands of offline and online publishers.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO)

"This helps us really optimize our online media spend because, with this new capability, we know which sites have the highest traffic from our clients' core PersonicX lifestage targets," said Ted Washburne, Director of Business Intelligence, OMD. "Plus, now we can synchronize two media channels at once because we can buy impressions of those PersonicX clusters online and direct mail lists of those same clusters through Acxiom. Feeding these data into our analytics for our clients opens up whole new areas for us, such as evaluating the offline sales lifts of multimedia campaigns at a cluster level."

PersonicX Segments Enable Advertisers to Optimize Media Spend

PersonicX is a household-level segmentation system developed by Acxiom and used by marketers that groups consumers into 70 different lifestage-based segments based on several demographic variables. For example, the "Trucks & Trailers" segment in the table below represents people between the ages of 30-45, either married or single with no children, who either own or rent, have annual household incomes of less than $100,000, and live in rural areas.

Predictive of U.S. consumer behaviors, media preferences, shopping patterns, and financial needs, marketers rely on Acxiom's PersonicX to target more specific segments in an offline environment than is possible using simple age breaks. comScore Segment Metrix - PersonicX now enables marketers to reach these targeted segments via online as well as offline media, helping marketers better hone their messaging strategy, value proposition, and media placement.

"This powerful offering is a must-have tool for any media buyer looking to achieve a better return on marketing investment," said Tim Suther, Acxiom senior vice president for digital marketing services. "The unparalleled insight into the interests of various lifestage interests created as a result of this partnership will allow marketers to generate enhanced planning strategies driven by improved segmentation and better execution by using targeting approaches that accurately align their online and offline marketing efforts."

Consider, as an example, visitors to the Web sites for home improvement retailers Lowe's and Home Depot. Although these direct competitors have very similar product offerings, the lifestyle makeup of their online customer bases are markedly different. The following analysis shows the top five PersonicX lifestyle segments based on their relative consumption of pages at each of the sites:

Top 5 PersonicX Lifestage Segments for Lowes.com and HomeDepot.com Visitors Ranked by Page View Index* April 2008 Total U.S. - Home/Work/University Locations Source: comScore Segment Metrix - PersonicX Lowes.com PV Index HomeDepot.com PV Index Trucks & Trailers 320 Apple Pie Families 352 Country Ways 229 Collegiate Crowd 244 Humble Homes 217 Solo and Stable 182 The Great Outdoors 212 Country Ways 160 Young Workboots 209 Country Single 149 *Page View Index = average page views by segment/average page views for total Internet x 100; Index of 100 represents parity

Of the top five segments for each site, there is only one segment of overlap -- Country Ways. If Lowe's or Home Depot identified this as a key consumer target segment, comScore Segment Metrix - PersonicX would allow them to determine where to market to these consumers online. The following profile demonstrates which ad-supported sites have the highest concentrations of visitors from the Country Ways segment:

Top 10 Ad Focus* Sites with Highest Concentration of PersonicX 'Country Ways' Visitors April 2008 Total U.S. - Home/Work/University Locations Source: comScore Segment Metrix - PersonicX PersonicX 'Country Ways' Index to Total Visitors as a Percentage of Internet Total Site Visitors Population Total Internet: 'Country Ways' Segment 0.7 100 Marapets.com 9.9 1414 MetaCrawler 5.5 786 DriverGuide.com 5.4 771 Lycos.com Home Page 4.5 643 Self.com 4.2 600 Biography.com 3.1 443 MyHomeIdeas Network 3.0 429 Men.Style .com 2.9 414 Elise.com 2.5 357 CarsDirect.com 2.4 343 *Ad Focus sites are content sites that support online advertising

These sites represent an opportunity to reach the Country Ways segment, as a means of reinforcing an offline marketing message or campaign through the use of online advertising or other online marketing tactics.

"Recent comScore research has shown that 84 percent of the impact of online marketing effort is latent and occurs offline," said Linda Boland Abraham, comScore executive vice president. "This reality made it clear that marketers needed better tools to synergize their online and offline media planning efforts, and comScore Segment Metrix - PersonicX helps fulfill that need."

FARO and Corvette Racing Shift into High Gear for Le Mans

LAKE MARY, Fla., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc. the world leader in portable computer-aided measurement hardware and software, has provided its latest equipment in an effort to help the GTS-champion Corvette Racing Team win the most grueling race of the season -- the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which takes place this weekend.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080610/CLTU004 )

Gary Pratt, Vice president of Pratt & Miller said, "We use the Quantum FaroArm, FARO Gage and FARO Laser ScanArm in order to design, construct and analyze 'virtual' components, CFD (computational fluid dynamics), systems, and complete cars -- every facet of a project from initial conception to the finished product. The combination of our team's expertise and FARO's portable, computerized measuring technologies offers a total design solution, so we have unmatched time and cost efficiencies, accuracy, and performance."

This allows the company's engineers and technicians to accurately and efficiently produce everything from small, individual components and sub-assemblies to complete turnkey road and racecars.

In 2001, Corvette Racing earned major international success with an outright victory in the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, followed by a one-two finish in the GTS class of the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans. Since then, Corvette Racing has typically won nine of 10 ALMS races every year since then, except in 2004. That year they were undefeated, as they are thus far in 2008.

DeviceLock and Lexar Media Offer Bundled USB SecurityEnterprise-class Solution Addresses the Growing Dilemma of Data Leakage via USB Flash Drives

SAN RAMON and FREMONT, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- DeviceLock, Inc., a worldwide leader in endpoint device access control, and Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the general availability of a multi-layered, centrally managed endpoint security package. The bundle includes DeviceLock software and the Lexar Media SAFE PSD S1100 USB flash drive. After a number of successful pilot installations, DeviceLock is extending its availability by offering a bundled solution to customers worldwide.

One such customer is Armanino McKenna, a California-based accounting and business consulting firm. "Accountants are always moving between the firm's and clients' offices. Sometimes we work at home, so flash drives are a great convenience," explains Doug Miller, director of IT at Armanino McKenna. "But we're also dealing in data protected by numerous state, federal, and international privacy laws. We have the best of two worlds by using DeviceLock software in combination with hardware-encrypted devices. If these USB drives are lost or stolen, the contained data is protected. And we have DeviceLock for centralized management of local ports and drives on employee PCs, so that unauthorized devices cannot be used."

"There is a natural complementary relationship between DeviceLock software and Lexar's enterprise-class SAFE PSD S1100 USB flash drive. The hardware encryption ensures that any data that has been downloaded to the drive cannot be penetrated by an unauthorized person," adds Brad Anderson, director of product marketing at Lexar Media. "DeviceLock provides the centralized control and internal policy enforcement via USB ensuring that only authorized devices will be granted access, and only to the specified users."

DeviceLock software prevents employees from using their personal devices to siphon off valued information beyond the scope of their jobs and outside the guidelines of IT security policy. Featuring a comprehensive central management platform that is fully integrated with Microsoft Active Directory(R) Group Policy, DeviceLock software enables security administrators to precisely control, monitor, shadow-copy, log, and analyze end-user access to all types of devices and local ports on their workstations. It also automatically blocks operations of any hardware keyloggers -- devices that covertly track user keystrokes -- thereby capturing passwords, user IDs, credit card numbers, and other private information. The software proactively protects against data leakage via the local ports as well as corporate network infiltration by computer viruses, spyware, or other malicious software known as malware. This added layer of protection significantly reduces business risks resulting from insider errors, malicious actions, or negligence.

"This alignment with Lexar is welcomed by customers like Armanino McKenna, because it simplifies their job of putting together a full data security approach," explains David Matthiesen, director of sales at DeviceLock, Inc. "It's a continuation of our strategy to work with encryption providers and device makers to offer the best and most secure solution to protect against data leakage."

Availability

The DeviceLock/Lexar SAFE (Secure Access For Enterprise -- Personal Storage Device) PSD bundled solution is available immediately directly from DeviceLock, and through select channel partners.

NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RiskMetrics Group, a leading provider of risk management and corporate governance services to the global financial community, today launched Governance Exchange, an innovative online platform designed exclusively for board members, corporate executives and institutional investors to enable interaction on corporate governance issues. An industry first, Governance Exchange bridges the communications gap between these market constituents, enhancing their understanding of various market viewpoints and ultimately helping them achieve real market solutions. To foster member dialogue, Governance Exchange also provides a wealth of content and expert analysis.

"By facilitating access and providing transparency to a range of governance perspectives, Governance Exchange represents another major step for RiskMetrics Group in delivering on our vision of being the center for the financial community," said Rich Leggett, head of RiskMetrics Governance Services Unit. "Our clients will benefit from open and candid discussions as well as the rich combination of content, data, and analytics offered by this secure online platform."

Almost every critical corporate governance concern being brought to the forefront today requires dialogue. However, market constituents lack effective means for dynamic collaboration to solve critical issues. Governance Exchange offers members a confidential environment to communicate on today's most pressing governance matters. The platform encourages trust between the groups through access to a broad range of governance perspectives, a way to better understand and align with peer practices and timely information on trends in corporate governance.

"Yet, there are few secure outlets where these groups can communicate freely on corporate governance issues. RiskMetrics Group's Governance Exchange offers such a place -- a unique venue that unites these constituents."

Governance Exchange members drive the discussion through online forums, suggest topics for further study and foster the development of new content. Members are encouraged to share their ideas, experiences and best practices. As new members join, they will add their perspectives to the discussion and enrich the dialogue for the entire community. Thus, Governance Exchange provides a unique gateway to a wealth of anecdotal information, while helping to elevate this information to systematic knowledge.

In addition to the discussion forums which are the foundation for Governance Exchange, members will have access to a wide range of rich content, including webcasts, white papers, surveys, and analysis provided by both RiskMetrics Group's internal experts and by third parties. Currently, topics being discussed in Governance Exchange include executive compensation disclosure, proxy season trends, board and succession planning, and shareholder activism and performance metrics.

Aware Expands DSL Test Modem Module Portfolio for Outside Plant EquipmentAware's Universal DMT modules help service providers deploy advanced DSL services faster and more efficiently

BEDFORD, Mass., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. , a leading supplier of broadband technology and DSL test and diagnostics solutions, today announced that it will feature a new addition to its Universal DMT (UDMT(TM)) product line of DSL test modem modules in its booth at NXTcomm 2008. The 455 is a multi-mode ADSL2+/VDSL2 module that meets service providers' stringent ADSL2+ performance requirements and delivers industry-leading VDSL2 performance, making it ideal for solutions deployed in North American telco networks. The 455 module uses the same small-profile form factor, Linux-based network processor, and Dr. DSL(R) expert diagnostics software features as Aware's 450 UDMT module and supports all applicable data link layer protocols and statistics.

All of Aware's UDMT module product lines can be software-configured to emulate both DSL access multiplexers (DSLAMs) and customer premises equipment (CPEs) across a broad range of DSL technologies, including ADSL, ADSL2+, legacy VDSL1/1.5 and VDSL2. This extensive DSL technology footprint allows a single UDMT module to support all the common DSL network architectures. Service providers using test solutions based on Aware's UDMT modules are able to interoperate with installed DSLAMs and CPEs/gateways that contain chipsets from Broadcom, Conexant, Ikanos, Infineon or Texas Instruments. Aware's UDMT products are based on the company's fourteen years of experience in developing and deploying DSL chipsets around the world.

"When faced with the challenge of rolling out new services such as IPTV-over-DSL, service providers are looking for a future-proof, all-in-one universal testing solution that is interoperable with their current installed access equipment and able to support ADSL2+ and VDSL2 as well as the legacy VDSL1/1.5 solutions," said Peter LeBlanc, vice president, sales and marketing for Aware, Inc. "By using products based on Aware's UDMT modules, only one piece of test gear is required to perform all the necessary DSL tests, which reduces costs for the service provider and improves technician efficiency. This is particularly important now that IPTV deployments have begun to accelerate."

Traditional DSL testing solutions are built around single-function CPE emulation which only allows technicians to test back to the DSLAM to verify sync. Aware's UDMT DSLAM emulation capability allows technicians to also test towards the subscriber. The technician can qualify the in-home copper wiring and isolate inside wiring faults from the network interface device (NID) without access to the home or subscriber involvement. UDMT also enables multi-pair troubleshooting from the subscriber access cabinet without dispatching to every home and DSLAM profile optimization by testing the impact of a profile change or automatically selecting an optimal profile for a particular line.

BOCA RATON, Fla., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NuState Energy Holdings, Inc.

Rentar Environmental Solutions, manufacturer of the Rentar Fuel Catalyst, is the world leader in pre-combustion fuel technology and holder of 26 domestic and international patents. The catalyst has been extensively tested and validated by numerous independent laboratories recognized by EPA, CARB, foreign governments and prominent corporate entities. These test results have shown that use of the catalyst results in significant reductions in fuel consumption, particulate matter and greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, approximately 10,000 units are deployed worldwide to a varied customer base ranging from Fortune 500 companies to local, state, United States and foreign governments.

The intellectual property acquired by Rentar Logic in the transaction between Rentar Environmental Solutions and NuState includes the proprietary software application that now forms the backbone of the Rentar Fuel Management System. This unparalleled management tool is capable of validating the performance of any fuel efficiency or emission reduction technology. It provides clear, concise reports which are easily tailored to meet specific user requirements. By capturing real-time data about such things as speed, idle time, out-of-route vehicles, etc., and providing such data in a timely manner, fleet managers can significantly increase overall fleet efficiency as well as decrease fuel costs and harmful emissions. This cutting-edge technology bundle can provide benefits that are not available anywhere else in the world.

NuState is a holding company that owns 49% of Rentar Logic, Inc. and 100% of Commodity Express Transportation, Inc., a South Carolina-based third party logistics company with trucking, warehouse and freight brokerage operations. Commodity Express has a fleet of approximately 100 trucks and 500 trailers and is projecting 2008 revenue of close to $30 million.

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

ALBANY, N.Y., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. is supporting its continued commitment to Albany 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 Albany 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 Albany area, new cell sites are expected to go live in Delmar, and in Duanesburg near Mariaville Lake as well as in East Nassau and Granville by the end of summer.

AT&T plans to double the size of its high speed mobile broadband footprint in the Albany area by expanding north to include areas in both Saratoga and Warren Counties later this year. AT&T's high speed 3G network currently brings mobile broadband capability to customers in the greater capital region, including:

Albany County: Albany, Cohoes, Colonie, Green Island, Latham, Loudonville, Menands, Roessleville, Watervliet. Schenectady County: Niskayuna, Rotterdam, Schenectady. Rensselaer County: Troy.

"AT&T's network in Albany 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 upstate 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 a fresh line up of 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.

Later this fall, AT&T plans to expand its mobile broadband footprint in eastern New York state to the Hudson Valley and the Glens Falls/Saratoga Springs area.

Zebra Technologies Introduces HC100(TM) Patient I.D. Wristbanding SolutionCombination of thermal printer and antimicrobial coated wristbands helps improve patient identification and enhance safety

VERNON HILLS, Ill., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zebra Technologies , a global leader in delivering on-demand specialty printing solutions for the healthcare industry, has introduced the first cartridge-based patient I.D. solution to make wristband printing easier and more cost-effective for healthcare organizations.

"Missing or illegible wristbands are a major contributing factor to many adverse events," says Cristina De Martini, global practice leader, healthcare, at Zebra Technologies. "By utilizing bar-coded wristbands, hospitals can ensure that clinicians have the ability to accurately identify patients before collecting specimens, administering medications or transfusing blood -- a critical component for enhancing patient safety and reducing the potential for error."

Designed for maximum ease of use, Zebra's newest patient I.D. solution combines the small-footprint HC100(TM) thermal printer and easy-to-load cartridges containing Zebra's Z Band(R) direct thermal wristbands -- the only antimicrobial coated wristbands currently available in the market. In contrast to many laser solutions, the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution generates individual wristbands on demand. There is no need for staff to load labels into a special tray, print the labels, attach them to wristbands and apply laminate coatings, resulting in less waste and lower costs.

Featuring a smart card that optimizes print intensity and automatically calibrates for band size, the patient I.D. solution facilitates quick and accurate scanning at the point of care by producing bar codes and text that withstand water, blood, soap and other liquids while remaining smudge-free longer than the average patient stay. The HC100 printer accommodates Zebra's complete line of white and color Z Band cartridges, which are available in a variety of infant, pediatric and adult sizes as well as in both adhesive tab and clip closures. An antimicrobial coating protects Z Band wristbands from MRSA Types II, III and IV, in addition to S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. coli -- the leading causes of hospital infections in the United States.

Unlike laser printers, which are not designed to process large quantities of adhesive-backed wristbands and labels, the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution was developed to accommodate a high volume of wristbands. As a result, users experience fewer jams and ongoing maintenance needs are minimized. Staff productivity may be enhanced because users do not have to replace toner or ribbons.

The HC100 Patient I.D. Solution features built-in wireless connectivity, which simplifies implementation and enables users to easily move printers to different locations throughout the hospital. In addition, Zebra's relationships with leading HIT software vendors help to expedite deployment of the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution by facilitating ease of integration with ADT applications.

For more information on the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution and other Zebra products, please call +1 800 423 0442 or visit http://www.zebra.com/.

Zebra Technologies Corporation helps companies identify, locate and track assets, transactions and people with on-demand specialty digital printing and automatic identification solutions in more than 100 countries around the world.

Video: Selling Your Car to Find a Fuel-Efficient Vehicle?CarMax Offers Information on How Your Car's Value is Determined

RICHMOND, Va., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- If you are considering trading in your current vehicle, either for something newer or more fuel efficient, CarMax, Inc. the nation's largest retailer of used cars, has information on how your car's value is determined. CarMax's nationwide team of car buyers has tips on how to get the most for your car when it comes time to sell it or trade it in.

To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/carmax/30794/

"When evaluating a car's value, there are four major factors taken into account -- mileage, current market data, the condition of the vehicle and how well it has been maintained," said David Claeys, purchasing manager, Richmond, Virginia. "Current marketplace conditions, including the effects of seasonal shifts in demand or changes in the economy, can impact the trade-in value of a vehicle. While you can't alter current economic conditions, a good rule of thumb for consumers wanting to maximize the value of their vehicle is to simply take good care of it."

CarMax's car buying teams offer the following 10 tips to get the most out of your vehicle's value:

1. Stick to the vehicle's regular maintenance schedule -- and keep all records/documentation of maintenance performed. 2. Target a reasonable amount of mileage per year on your car. Where possible, avoid driving more than 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year. 3. Keep the interior and exterior clean. Don't neglect the carpet, floor mats or headliner. 4. Don't smoke in your car. Smoking narrows the resale market for a vehicle since it is difficult to remove the smoke smell. 5. Avoid eating in your car. Food and drink may damage the interior by leaving stains or unwanted odors. 6. Repair scratches and dents in a timely manner -- if left alone, they may lead to rust or other expensive damage. 7. Ensure all major mechanical systems are in good working order. Make any needed major repairs before attempting to sell your vehicle. 8. Avoid customizing your car. Adding after-market accessories can often lower the market value for your car by narrowing its appeal. 9. Don't paint or detail your car with wild colors. Non-standard colors may lower the vehicle's value. 10. Drive carefully to avoid accidents. Serious accidents that compromise the structural integrity of your car will significantly reduce its market value.

"An appraisal is a great way for a car owner to get a sense of the current value of their vehicle," Claeys said. "Before selling your car, you should visit a retailer like CarMax that will provide a free appraisal and make an offer for the vehicle based on its wholesale market value without requiring a purchase."

CarMax will buy any car, whether or the not the seller purchases a CarMax vehicle. Since opening its first store in 1993, CarMax's nationwide 900 car buying team members have appraised more than 9 million cars.

The CarMax website can be used to research information on vehicles of various makes and models. Online shoppers can search the company's inventory of more than 25,000 new and used cars. The website showcases each vehicle with multiple photos, a no-haggle price, and information on features, options, fuel economy and customer reviews. Visits to carmax.com continue to increase and approximately 70 percent of in-store customers visited the website before coming to the store.

Electronic Control Security, Inc. Announces Appointment of Gen. Gordon Fornell to Board of Directors

CLIFTON, N.J., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Electronic Control Security Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: EKCS) (ECSI) announced the appointment of General Gordon E. Fornell, USAF (Ret.) to the Company's Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Arthur Barchenko, President and CEO of ECSI, stated that the Company believes General Fornell's educational background and professional management experience working with the Government and private sector will strongly enhance ECSI's mission-oriented marketing and sales programs.

General Fornell retired from active duty in the USAF in 1993. He has been a private consultant since retiring. He is also a member of the Defense Support Initiative of the Okaloosa County Economic Development Council, President of the Air Force Armament Museum Foundation, and member of the Mid Bay Bridge Authority.

He served in senior acquisition leadership positions in AF Systems Command and AF Materiel Command. Those positions included two commands; one as Commander, Armament Division at Eglin AFB, FL, from 1985-1987; and second as Commander, Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom AFB, MA from 1988-1993. These organizations developed and acquired all non-nuclear munitions and communications, command and control, and intelligence systems for the Air Force.

From 1987-1988, General Fornell was the Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. He served both Secretary Casper W. Weinberger and Secretary Frank C. Carlucci in this capacity. He advised the Secretary on a wide range of national security issues and coordinated the office activities of a large staff. Relationships with nations around the world were established covering the full spectrum of national priorities.

The General served at HQ USAF from 1981-1982 as Deputy Director of Development & Acquisition. This directorate had responsibilities for the AF aircraft, engine avionics, C3I, and electronic combat programs. In 1982, he became Special Assistant for ICBM Modernization, which primarily was the focal point for Peacekeeper and Small ICBM development and acquisition.

General Fornell was the KC-10 Program Director at Wright-Patterson AFB from 1980-1981. He had total system responsibilities for the life cycle of the aircraft. A unique training system concept was developed and full contractor logistics support provided a highly reliable and responsible force multiplier to the Air Force.

From 1965 to 1980, General Fornell's assignments were primarily in research, development, and acquisition. He was a graduate of the AF Test Pilot School and served as a test pilot at both Wright-Patterson AFB and Edwards AFB. During this period, he served in two operational assignments. He was an A-1 pilot at Nakhon Phanom AFB and Vice Commander of the C-5 Wing at Dover AFB, DE.

General Fornell has had a wide range of operational and test experience. He has flown over 50 types of aircraft, logged over 7,000 hours flying time, wore parachute wings, and was certified as a Level III acquisition program manager.

General Fornell holds an MBA in Transportation & Public Policy from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University. He has also attended the Air War College and the USAF Test Pilot School.

Arthur Barchenko further stated that, "With General Fornell joining ECSI's Board of Directors, we will be able to enhance Shareholder value through the General's professional guidance in the Military and Homeland Security sectors by effectively addressing the opportunities that lie ahead both here in the United States and overseas."

AT&T Announces $37.5 Million Contract to Deploy Global Technology Solution for NPOESS

VIENNA, Va., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Government Solutions, a business unit of AT&T Inc. , has been awarded a nine-year contract extension worth up to $37.5 million by Raytheon Company to build a single global network for the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). NPOESS is the next-generation polar-orbiting operational environmental monitoring system for military and civilian users and will provide more timely, more accurate data with higher fidelity than existing systems.

Under the contract extension, AT&T will continue deployment of an Internet Protocol (IP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution that will eventually connect 25 NPOESS locations around the world. This network will enable the delivery of near-real-time weather data to users within 28 minutes of on-orbit measurement -- approximately four times faster than the delivery rate of today's data links. As part of the NPOESS architecture, the network will optimize the downlink of data from the science instruments on NPOESS spacecraft.

"Real-time access to accurate weather forecasts is critical for both military and civilian operations," said Don Herring, senior vice president, AT&T Government Solutions. "AT&T can help NPOESS accelerate the delivery of this critical information to forecasters by leveraging the speed and reliability of our network."

The VPN solution will harness AT&T's state-of-the-art Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled network. This highly secure data network will provide the flexibility, reliability and security necessary for users, including the Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, NASA and other federal agencies.

Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for NPOESS; Raytheon Company is the largest subcontractor and principal teammate, responsible for developing the data processing and command and control segments. The tri-agency Integrated Program Office, composed of the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Defense and NASA, is managing the development of NPOESS.

We can deploy it on a record-by-record basis and avoid significant upfront capital expenditures. We have been delighted with the performance of the service -- and with NeuStar's professional, around-the-clock monitoring and support."

The UltraDNS Traffic Controller service is built on NeuStar's Directory Services Platform. This platform sits at the core of the UltraDNS Managed DNS service, which provides a carrier-class DNS infrastructure for over 30 million Internet domains. It allows administrators to define load balancing configurations for content servers residing in one or more geographic locations, and manages traffic directed to servers and data centers by dynamically changing responses to DNS requests. Load balancing is performed based on the metrics obtained by continually monitoring host servers.

"The UltraDNS Traffic Controller service represents another milestone in our product strategy to provide customers, who rely on IP-based services for their critical business operations, with a managed service alternative to large IT infrastructure deployments," said Rodney Joffe, Senior Vice President & Senior Technologist at NeuStar. "UltraDNS Traffic Controller further demonstrates our DNS leadership position and the power of the UltraDNS Directory Services Platform."

TI introduces industry's highest linearity amplifier for differential signalsCurrent feedback architecture delivers larger gains at wide bandwidths to maximize design flexibility

DALLAS, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) introduced today a dual-channel, high-speed current feedback amplifier. The device features 70 percent greater bandwidth gain at +2 V/V than competitive devices, providing fast signal conditioning with the highest linearity to minimize distortion for better signal fidelity and easier filtering. The amplifier offers wide supply voltage options and large gain capability, giving engineers the flexibility to adjust the parameters to address the specific need, such as high gain for differential signals or high output voltage or current for low power consumption. In addition, the device's optimized symmetrical package eases layout for cost-effective precision IF amplifiers, high-speed arbitrary waveform output drivers, wideband analog-to-digital converter (ADC) drivers and active filters. (For more information see http://www.ti.com/opa2695-pr.)

Current feedback architecture optimizes bandwidth and slew rate and minimizes distortion

Unlike traditional voltage feedback or fully differential amplifiers, the OPA2695 offers a new level of performance for high-speed applications. Due to its current feedback architecture, the OPA2695 can deliver a high bandwidth of 850 MHz at a gain of +2 V/V and a fast slew rate of 2900 V/us to process high-speed signals.

The architecture also provides wider bandwidth capability at much higher gains than can be achieved with a voltage feedback architecture. In contrast, fully differential amplifiers, which are popular for differential signal paths and are based on a voltage feedback architecture, suffer from reduced bandwidths at larger gains.

The OPA2695 combines the current-feedback architecture with an optimized differential pin-out, which provides superior gain and bandwidth, maintains high linearity with low harmonic distortion levels, and eases the design process. The pin-out gives super-symmetrical signal paths with input and output pins on opposite sides of the chip to greatly simplify PC board layout.

Furthermore, the optimized pin-out enables superior even-order harmonic distortion, which cannot be achieved by other current feedback devices with traditional pin-out configurations. The OPA2695 provides second-order harmonics (HD2) of 94 dBc and third-order harmonics (HD3) of 93.5 dBc at 10 MHz for differential signals, and HD2 of better than 90 dBc up to 55 MHz at a large gain of +10 V/V, which reduces in-band harmonic distortion while easing the filtering of out-of-band even order harmonics.

Supply voltage options increase design flexibility

In addition, designers have the flexibility to provide a single supply voltage (3.5 V to 12 V) or a dual supply voltage (+/-1.75 V to +/-6 V) to the OPA2695 to suit their requirements. For example, with a supply voltage of +/-5 V and gain of +8 V/V, the OPA2695 can deliver a large output voltage swing of +/-4.1 V or 8.2 Vpp with a 120 mA sourcing or sinking output drive current into an ADC for accurate digitization.

Alternatively, at a lower single supply voltage of +5 V, the device can save power while still delivering +/- 90 mA output current with a 3.4 Vpp for power-sensitive applications, such as handheld portable devices. To further reduce power consumption, a power down option is also available, which reduces the quiescent current consumption to 80 uA.

The OPA2695 extends TI's high-speed, current feedback amplifier portfolio, which offers the industry's widest bandwidth. The offering includes the following:

Supply Supply Quiescent Current Slew Rate Bandwidth Voltage Voltage Current Output(typ) # of Ch (V/us) (MHz) (min)(V) (max)(V) (typ)(mA) (mA) OPA695, OPA2695, 2900(2) OPA3695 1,2,3 4300(1,3) 1700 +/-1.75 +/-6 12.9 +/- 120 OPA694, OPA2694 1,2 1700 1500 +/-3.5 +/-6.3 5.8 +/- 80 THS3201, THS3202 1,2 5200 1800 +/-3 +/-7.5 14 +/- 100

For more information and to download the latest Amplifier and Data Converter Selection Guide, please see http://www.ti.com/amplifier

Availability, pricing and support

The OPA2695 is available today in a SO-8 and QFN-16 package. Suggested resale pricing is $2.10 in quantities of 1,000. Samples and evaluation modules of the OPA2695, single-channel OPA695 and triple-channel OPA3695 are available from http://www.ti.com/opa2695

Credit Crisis Driving Wall Street Shift Toward Risk Analysis and Use of High-Performance Computing ResourcesAccording to Microsoft survey, performance is still critical purchase factor, but ease of deployment and ease of management are of greater importance year-over-year.

NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Driven by the credit crisis, Wall Street firms are increasingly conducting real-time and intra-day risk analysis and are leveraging high-performance computing (HPC) resources to assist with these tasks, according to a survey released today by Microsoft Corp. at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) 2008 Technology Management Conference & Exhibit.

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

The Microsoft "High-Performance Computing Capital Markets Survey 2008," conducted by Washington, D.C.-based KRC Research, found that capital markets firms in the last 12 months have faced increased demands to run real-time market risk analysis (25 percent), middle-office risk analytics (34 percent) and portfolio-related calculations, such as rebalancing and hedging strategies (42 percent). At the same time, Wall Street firms are turning to their growing HPC resources to assist with these activities, with companies reporting "a lot or some" demand for HPC to handle real-time market risk analysis (51 percent), middle-office risk analytics (50 percent) and portfolio-related calculations (54 percent).

The survey also found that while outright performance (27 percent) continues to be a primary purchase factor when selecting an HPC operating system, capital markets firms ranked ease of management (14 percent), ease of deployment (16 percent), and support of existing third-party applications (21 percent) of similar importance. By comparison, in a similar Microsoft HPC survey released last year, 37 percent of respondents reported performance as the most critical factor, with ease of management and other factors in the single digits.

"Impacted by the credit crisis, capital markets firms are aligning their HPC resources toward uncovering and managing risk," said Craig Saint-Amour, U.S. capital markets industry solutions director at Microsoft. "At the same, it appears that companies are seeking more bang for their buck from their HPC vendors in terms of greater ease of deployment, manageability and support. In this tough economic environment, lowering operational costs and increasing overall productivity at all levels of a firm's HPC value chain -- from end users to developers to operations staff - is at the forefront of every manager's mind."

Recent hardware and software advances, such as powerful, low-cost processors and familiar, widely supported operating systems such as Windows HPC Server 2008, have made it easier for analysts, traders and portfolio managers to conduct HPC tasks. According to the survey, the most common lines of business using HPC environments today include equities (30 percent), fixed income (20 percent), commodities (13 percent), foreign exchange (13 percent), derivatives (23 percent) and algorithmic trading (18 percent).
