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

WOODSTOCK, Conn., June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Windham County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along Routes 198 and 197, as well as the surrounding area, in Woodstock, Connecticut.

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

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

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

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

Dresser-Rand to Invest in Unique Technology and Associated Infrastructure at its Olean Operation

HOUSTON, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dresser-Rand Group Inc. ("Dresser-Rand" or the "Company") , a global supplier of rotating equipment, announced today that the Company will make two investments at the Olean, New York location, which is home to the Company's largest manufacturing facility. One investment is to construct additional test capability associated with its compressor-separator technologies. The second is for a new technology center to house about 500 engineers and technologists. The capital expenditure for the two projects is expected to be approximately $25 million. Both projects will commence immediately. The test facility is expected to be operational later this year, while the occupancy date for the Tech Center is scheduled for early 2009.

Dresser-Rand has developed new integrated separation and centrifugal compression technology, which it believes will represent a unique and superior value proposition for its clients into the future. Dresser-Rand's fully Integrated Compression System(TM) (ICS(TM)) uses high-efficiency DATUM(R) centrifugal compressor technology driven by a high speed, close-coupled motor mated with an integrated gas-liquid separation unit with process gas coolers, all packaged into a single module. It is designed to be used onshore and aboard fixed and floating offshore platforms as well as, ultimately, in subsea production modules. The Company believes this is game changing technology, which goes beyond "best-in-class" and is actually the "only-in-class" for this type of equipment.

With its integrated approach, the ICS compression module can reduce the total footprint exhibited by traditional modules by up to 65%, while cutting the weight approximately in half. Integration of advanced motor driven centrifugal separation technology gives the ICS the ability to handle any dry or wet gas application. Because the compressor, motor, separation system, and gas coolers are contained in the same process module, the system can be installed as a single unit, eliminating the need for large, stand-alone separators. As opportunities for subsea compression emerge, the Company expects the ICS system to offer the best solutions for providing real value to clients with seabed production operations.

The new technology center will allow the Company to co-locate all parties associated with product design and application along with the technical support for assembly and test of the Olean products. It also will house the worldwide research & development staff and the client facing group that project manages all aspects of the client contracts at the Olean facility. The move to one location is expected to substantially improve communications, productivity, and client satisfaction. The existence of a new state-of-the-art Technology Center will also enhance Dresser-Rand's ability to attract and retain future technical employees to New York State in general and the city of Olean specifically.

Vincent R. Volpe Jr., President, and CEO, said, "We are very pleased to announce the company's final approval of these two strategic investments in Dresser-Rand's Olean site. We have worked hard to create an environment in New York State where we can be successful and continue to invest in technology and associated infrastructure initiatives that will help us compete in a very global market. We appreciate the support received from Governor Paterson through Empire State Development and from our state legislator, Senator Cathy Young, Assemblyman Joe Giglio and both county and city officials. In addition, we believe the new, contemporary labor agreement covering approximately 500 workers at the Olean facility engenders an environment conducive to investment. This agreement is market competitive, with contract language that allows for continuous operating improvements through more flexible and modern work rules."

Bill Pienta, international representative for the Steelworkers, said, "We are very pleased that the successful conclusion to the recent contract negotiations between the Steelworkers and Dresser-Rand has helped to facilitate and encourage the company's decision to invest in two new major projects: the ICS test stand and the new Technology Center. The ICS test stand could have been built in many of Dresser-Rand's worldwide locations, however, we believe that Dresser-Rand has a very talented and dedicated workforce who can and will be competitive in Olean, New York with the continued investment in technology and jobs created by the ICS program."

"We are extremely proud of our employees at the Olean operation and their willingness to accept changes necessary to enhance the long-term competitiveness of the business," said Jean-Francois Chevrier, Dresser-Rand's Vice President and General Manager, North American Operations. "The workforce here in the southern tier of New York State is hard working, productive and highly skilled. Today's announcements reflect the Company's confidence in its workforce and its commitment to remaining a premier employer and good corporate citizen in New York State."

Dresser-Rand is among the largest suppliers of rotating equipment solutions to the worldwide oil, gas, petrochemical, and process industries. The Company operates manufacturing facilities in the United States, France, Germany, Norway, India, and China, and maintains a network of 28 service and support centers covering more than 140 countries.

More Cable TV Choice for Taunton, Mass., ConsumersThousands More Households Now Can Order Verizon's FiOS TV, the Only TV Service Delivered Over Nation's Most Advanced Fiber-Optic Network Straight to Consumers

TAUNTON, Mass., June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, consumers in Taunton have more choice in cable TV providers now that Verizon has introduced FiOS TV, making a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality available to thousands more Massachusetts households.

Taunton is among 71 Massachusetts communities (see list below) where the company's new television service is being offered -- the only TV service delivered over the nation's most advanced all-fiber network directly connecting to millions of individual homes and businesses.

Verizon is currently negotiating with several other communities in Massachusetts to obtain additional franchises. For more information on the Verizon franchise process in the state, visit http://www.verizon.com/ma.

Donna Cupelo, Verizon region president for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, said, "FiOS TV gives consumers in Taunton an outstanding, superior alternative for their video entertainment. Customers in Taunton who liked what FiOS did for their Internet connection will love what it does for their TV. We've harnessed the vast capacity of our advanced fiber-optic network to deliver a revolutionary, new entertainment experience."

Massachusetts residents who are FiOS TV-eligible now have the option to trim their monthly bills by bundling FiOS TV service, FiOS Internet service and the Verizon Freedom Value unlimited calling plan, all for $104.99 a month.

Service highlights include: -- FiOS TV Premier, the lead offer, delivers more than 200 all-digital channels. -- A total of 30 high-definition channels for Massachusetts customers, with extraordinary clarity and theater-quality sound delivered over uncompressed signals. -- An industry-leading library of more than 10,000 video-on-demand titles each month, 70 percent of which are free. -- Channels grouped by genres such as entertainment, sports, news, shopping, movies and family, making it easy for audiences to find their favorite programming. -- An easy-to-use interactive programming guide that integrates HD programming, On Demand content and the digital video recorder along with broadcast television into a seamless user experience. -- Set-top boxes ranging from a standard-definition box for $5.99 per month to the Home Media DVR, featuring a multi-room DVR that enables up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. The recorder is bundled with Media Manager, a new feature that lets customers easily access photos and music from their personal computer and play them on their entertainment center where they look and sound the best. A standard definition Home Media DVR is $17.99 per month. -- FiOS TV Widgets, a free interactive feature that provides local weather and traffic information.

Programming choices for Hispanic, African-American, Asian, Russian and other multicultural audiences are available in every market, making FiOS TV an outlet for emerging and independent networks to showcase their diverse programming.

Information on packages and prices is available at http://www.verizon.com/fiostv. Taunton customers also can call 1-888-GET-FIOS to see if they qualify to order FiOS TV.

Verizon research indicates 87 percent of Massachusetts residents favor more competition and choice for video services. Independent studies have shown that competition in the video market brings enormous benefits to consumers in the form of reduced prices, better packages and improved service.

FiOS TV is designed to be a formidable competitor to cable and satellite. Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, the largest of its kind in the country, is currently under construction in more than half the states where the company offers landline communications services, including almost 100 Massachusetts communities.

The network brings the power and capacity of fiber optics directly into people's homes and has industry-leading quality and reliability. Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of uncompressed, high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. It 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 services.

(More information about FiOS TV and fiber optics is available in Verizon's online News Center at http://www.verizon.com/news.)

The value of FiOS TV extends to the installation and customer support. Specially trained Verizon technicians will install the service and acquaint subscribers with FiOS TV features and services. Verizon is waiving the installation fee for up to three existing TV outlets, and there is no charge to install a needed optical network terminal at the subscriber's home. Charges for other installation services, such as additional outlets, may apply. Verizon provides 24 x 7 technical assistance by phone from its Fiber Solutions Centers in Providence, R.I., and other cities.

[FiOS TV is available in Abington, Acton, Andover, Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Boxborough, Boxford, Braintree, Burlington, Canton, Dedham, Dunstable, Framingham, Franklin, Georgetown, Hamilton, Hingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Ipswich, Lakeville, Lawrence, Lincoln, Littleton, Lexington, Lynn, Lynnfield, Malden, Marion, Marlborough, Marshfield, Mattapoisett, Medfield, Medway, Melrose, Methuen, Middleborough, Nahant, Natick, Needham, Newton, North Reading, Norfolk, Norwood, Reading, Taunton, Rochester, Rockland, Rowley, Sherborn, Southborough, Stoneham, Sudbury, Swampscott, Tewksbury, Topsfield, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Walpole, Waltham, Wareham, Wayland, Wellesley, Wenham, West Newbury, Westborough, Westwood, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn, as well as other locations in New York, New Jersey, California, Delaware, Texas, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.]

ComEd Announces Enhanced Communication Protocol for Local GovernmentsNew computer application, called eOutage, designed to keep municipalities better informed

CHICAGO, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ahead of this year's storm season, ComEd has enhanced its communications with Northern Illinois municipalities to increase collaboration, service coordination and information sharing.

"Enhancing our communications with municipalities is one element of ComEd's ongoing efforts to provide customers with quality service and information," said Fidel Marquez, ComEd vice president of External Affairs and Large Customer Services. "Before this year's storm season begins, we want local governments to know they can rely on robust communications with ComEd."

ComEd developed a computer application, called eOutage, specifically to keep municipalities better informed when outages occur. This online tool provides timely updates to municipal officials of the same data ComEd crews rely on when restoring service following a storm. Recently, eOutage was revised to provide municipal officials with enhanced information regarding outages affecting their constituents.

The company will use several new modes of telecommunications, including text messaging, to convey outage and restoration data, public safety information and other outage related data to police and fire departments; village managers and mayors; state officials; emergency service offices; disaster agency coordinators; and sheriffs' departments.

In addition to these enhancements, ComEd also implemented Virtual Hold last October, which is a new technology that gives customers the option of requesting a call back from our call center. ComEd will call them back in the same amount of time they would have been placed on hold.

Expanded communications like these are expected to improve emergency storm restorations. For instance, through closer communication, municipal resources can be deployed to clear a street in coordination with the dispatch of ComEd crews to where fallen trees have made access difficult. Local officials will also be in a better position to inform ComEd of outages affecting critical facilities.

ComEd was honored in January by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) with their "Emergency Recovery Award" for outstanding efforts to restore power following last August's multi-front storm system, which resulted in the worst damage to ComEd's electrical system in a decade.

"Even though we received national recognition for our response to last August's series of storms, we are not going to rest on our laurels," Marquez said. "We are committed to continuous improvement in all operational areas, including how we communicate with local officials and other first responders. These enhancements will improve our coordination with local government, which will benefit customers."

ComEd customers with questions about their ComEd service should call 1-800-EDISON1. Spanish-speaking customers should call 1-800-95-LUCES.

Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation , one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately 5.4 million customers. ComEd provides service to approximately 3.8 million customers across Northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state's population.

Meredith Corp. Boosts Bandwidth With AT&T

DES MOINES, Iowa, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. has announced that Meredith Corporation , one of America's leading media and marketing companies, has signed a networking services contract with AT&T. The three-year agreement worth more than $3 million extends and expands a long-standing relationship. It calls for AT&T to continue delivering Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based services while providing increased bandwidth.

Meredith's businesses center on publishing, television broadcasting, online and integrated marketing services. Meredith's extensive online presence, which includes more than 40 strategic alliances with leading Internet destinations, and its industry-leading consumer database, continue to increase the amount of data flowing over the company's network, increasing the need for more bandwidth.

Under the contract, AT&T will supply network solutions to Meredith's 30 locations around the country, enabling its 3,900 employees to simultaneously access applications from any location. With AT&T's Managed Internet Service (MIS) and Intelligent Content Distribution Service (ICDS), visitors to Meredith's Web sites experience greatly improved performance and speedy downloads, creating a positive customer experience.

AT&T ICDS can significantly improve a Web site's capacity, reliability and performance by replicating information on multiple servers located closer to Web users. Web content and media streams reach users faster and more reliably because AT&T ICDS serves traffic through AT&T's worldwide network of high speed edge servers.

"Creating, managing and delivering creative content is a significant part of our business and drives a highly data-intensive operation, which demands the highest level of network performance from AT&T," said Brad Wyckoff, chief information officer of Meredith Corporation.

"With the pace of our online business activities and overall data distribution requirements, sustainable network stability with the capacity to prioritize the different types of traffic, is essential."

By integrating data, Internet and voice services onto one converged network platform, the AT&T solution will make it possible for Meredith to reach superior levels of performance and reliability. Using AT&T's powerful MPLS platform, Meredith will have the ability to prioritize network traffic to ensure optimal bandwidth and latency for the company's most critical applications. AT&T's MPLS service has achieved the industry's highest levels of reliability and redundancy.

In addition to network services, AT&T will continue to provide Meredith with local and long distance voice services as well as teleconferencing services.

Open Text Enhances Web 2.0 Solutions, Offers New Social Computing ToolsNew Solutions Let Customers Deploy Powerful Social Computing Capabilities on the Web and Across the Enterprise, While Addressing Compliance and Legal Requirements

ENTERPRISE 2.0 CONFERENCE, BOSTON, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Open Text(TM) Corporation , a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced enhancements to its portfolio of Enterprise 2.0 solutions, including a powerful offering that lets customers manage compliance rules for social computing capabilities, such as blogs, wikis and forums on websites, and a set of collaboration tools for more dynamic employee interaction within the enterprise. The solutions further Open Text's Enterprise 2.0 strategy unveiled in March.

Open Text is creating Enterprise 2.0 solutions that let customers offer an innovative, interactive and compelling experience on the Web and in their existing content ecosystems, including content originating in SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Office. The solutions are aimed at combining content governance with content productivity considerations so that customers can adopt a more comprehensive Enterprise 2.0 strategy. Enhancements and new capabilities include:

- Fully Integrated Social Networking: Deeper levels of meta-data handling to enrich the user experience. This includes richer handling for dynamic content, with particular emphasis on deeper descriptive data for people and processes as well. It also includes blending the best of both top-down taxonomies with bottom-up tags. - Leverage Core Content in a 2.0 World: The ability to leverage all content sources in an organization for social networking. Core content of an organization in virtually any repository, such as SAP, Microsoft SharePoint, and Open Text's Livelink ECM or eDocs, can now be delivered and personalized in the context of social networks. - Security and Personalization for 2.0 Content: Persona-driven Web access tailored to respective information requirements. Thanks to a fully integrated 2.0 concept, personalization can be applied to user- generated content. This allows the usage of social networking capabilities in the context of the business -- customer care, sales or services -- incorporating metadata such as language, regions, hierarchies, occupational groups, departments and interests, so that knowledge can be assigned and accessed accordingly. - Compliance and Validation Services: Expanded Web compliance capabilities, which let customers apply regulatory or legal rules to user-generated content in social computing applications. No longer is Web compliance only relegated to the accessibility validation of a Web page. Integrated compliance capabilities should work with the company's blogs, wikis and other Web 2.0 modules to give customers the option to apply an automatic regulatory and legal check point before content goes live on the Web. The solution lets customers set rules that address industry-specific or corporate policies, as well as discovery, copyright and data protection issues. - Extended Collaboration to be Released Later this Month. Open Text's Extended Collaboration solution, set for release later this month, provides a powerful work environment where employees can easily circulate ideas, experiences and knowledge in real-time. The solution combines a robust knowledge repository with project workspaces, polls, news channels, tasks and milestones. A set of community applications brings specialized, enterprise-ready tools, including real-time collaboration or newsletter views, FAQs, and event calendars to promote shared expertise and best practices. Community content can also be managed according to compliance, records retention and legal rules since the solution is integrated with Open Text's powerful records management and archiving capabilities. Open Text has already seen strong interest in the solution from Livelink ECM customers since first unveiling the solution back in March.

"For organizations, regulatory and legal concerns are still the biggest barriers to wider Enterprise 2.0 adoption," said Daniel Kraft, President of the Open Text Web Solutions Group. "To help companies get beyond the fear, we have to provide the tools that address the business realities of compliance, yet still provide dynamic, Enterprise 2.0 capabilities. The integration of real time compliance management offers the support for risk mitigation with our full suite of Enterprise 2.0 applications, something companies can't find from other vendors."

Synopsys Honors IPL Alliance Companies With Eighth Annual Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement AwardTSMC, SpringSoft and Ciranova Receive Award for Driving Interoperable PDK Library Standards

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, announced that TSMC, SpringSoft and Ciranova have received Synopsys' eighth annual Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award for advancing the IPL (Interoperable PDK Libraries) Alliance. Working alongside Synopsys, the trio was instrumental in the creation and promotion of standards for Process Design Kits (PDKs) that accelerate innovation for analog and custom design.

The IPL Alliance was founded in April 2007 to address interoperability issues in the analog design flow. Interoperable PDK libraries work with any design tool that supports the OpenAccess database, thereby reducing PDK development and support costs, and providing designers building analog design flow options. Since its inception, the IPL Alliance has made tremendous progress in solving PDK interoperability. A free IPL reference library and an online interoperability demonstration are available for download at http://www.iplnow.com/, the IPL Alliance web site.

"We are honored to accept the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award and we applaud the other recipients," said S.T. Juang, senior director of Design Infrastructure Marketing at TSMC. "This standard improves PDK development efficiency and reduces support costs."

"SpringSoft's commitment to standards and interoperability is absolute. The ability for users to easily link best-of-breed tools and plug them into existing flows is vital to the rapid design and verification of today's complex ICs and systems," said Martin Lu, CEO of SpringSoft. "We are honored to be recognized with the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Award and consider it a clear measure of teamwork in driving open collaboration in the industry."

"Ciranova's objective is to offer productivity and IP portability to the analog IC design community. Interoperable PDKs advance both goals," said Eric Filseth, CEO of Ciranova Inc. "We are pleased to work with other companies to make the IPL Alliance a success. You can expect to see more progress in these areas from the IPL Alliance in the future."

"The IPL Alliance is an important industry effort that brings the benefits of interoperability and innovation to the world of custom and analog designers," said Rich Goldman, vice president of Corporate Marketing and Strategic Market Development at Synopsys. "This can only come to fruition through the teamwork of many companies, and we look forward to the IPL Alliance's future success."

About the Tenzing Norgay Interoperability Achievement Award

The Tenzing Norgay EDA Interoperability Achievement Award was established by Synopsys to recognize EDA providers who collaborate on interoperable design flows that benefit the user community. The award is presented annually to companies that have surpassed common levels of interoperability, have contributed to overall industry advancement and have helped provide a new view of the future for EDA interoperability. Named for the crucial role that Sherpa Tenzing Norgay played in the first successful attempt to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1953, the EDA Interoperability Achievement Award recognizes achievements that are critical to a designer's success.

Nokia Simplifies Mobile Advertising With Launch of Nokia Advertising Alliance

HELSINKI, Finland, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia today announced the launch of the Nokia Advertising Alliance, which will simplify mobile advertising for brand advertisers. The program brings together leading mobile marketing solutions, including couponing, location-based targeting, image recognition, and other emerging technologies, to offer advertisers a simple way to increase consumer engagement. Now brands can work with Nokia to combine the reach of mobile advertising on the Nokia Media Network with the latest mobile technologies for more effective campaigns.

"Mobile is maturing into an effective advertising medium, however, the fragmentation of certain technologies makes it hard for some programs to scale," said Brian Bos, Senior Vice President, Convergence Director at MindShare-Team Detroit. "We applaud Nokia's efforts to streamline this evolving market and make it easier to manage our clients' mobile advertising investment."

"To realise truly integrated advertising, it's imperative that major brands can make use of a range of mobile services. The Advertising Alliance brings together the most innovative technologies in the market, and brings trust to brands who want to use them," said Scott Heron, Director of Digital Services at Wunderman.

Members of the Alliance are integrated with the Nokia Media Network allowing brands to plan, execute and measure mobile advertising campaigns through a single Nokia interface. A range of companies have been initially certified as Members of the Alliance, including i-movo, Mobile Acuity, Mobiqa, and uLocate, with many additional members in testing. Leading brands from the automotive to entertainment industries have built campaigns using the Nokia Advertising Alliance.

"Succeeding in mobile requires much more than a banner ad alone. Brands have the opportunity to deliver immersive, highly engaging experiences to consumers. The Alliance gives brands access to a range of novel mobile ad experiences from one trusted vendor," said Mike Baker, VP and Head of Nokia Interactive Advertising.

Nokia Interactive Advertising provides brands with all that they need to connect with and engage the mobile consumer. It includes:

- The Nokia Media Network which gives reach to millions of mobile consumers through advertising on more than 100 blue-chip mobile publishers, operator partners and Nokia properties.

- Nokia Interactive Solutions that creates end-to-end, high performance mobile campaigns for brands from banner ads, mobile internet sites and location finders to mobile coupons, click-to-call and other advanced mobile mechanics.

"We've also expanded our technical platforms and feel that when clients are ready to upgrade to a new platform, we're ready to help them make that transition. We have already seen a number of clients move toward upgrading on Linux."

Eagle continually evaluates and integrates new technologies to support and enhance the system architecture that underlies its investment management solutions. V9.0 supports current versions of operating systems and databases to ensure higher availability, enhanced performance and a secure foundation to run all applications. This latest version supports Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems and Oracle 10g and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 databases.

The functionality enhancements in V9.0 were based on a number of factors including input from clients and necessary support for changing industry regulations. New functionality has been added across all of Eagle solutions.

-- Data Management offers improved usability across the workflows, providing instinctive navigation. It also offers a redesigned rules editor for more intuitive interaction. New features include the ability to handle multi-leg swaps for derivatives, a pricing option for direct access to pricing information and the ability to make modifications, which enables access to readily-available audit information. -- Investment Accounting delivers new functionality to support the processing and settlement of swaps. New features were added to Eagle's Mutual Fund Accounting solution to support clients that work with third party administrators and investment managers. This latest version provides the ability to conduct more in-depth analysis of data for dissemination to a client's various audiences. For Eagle's Insurance Accounting solution, the latest version supports the most recent directives from regulators. -- The Performance Measurement suite now provides a dynamic performance analysis capability. This functionality was introduced to enable clients to regroup and filter security level performance at any time to support ad hoc analysis. The workflow around the GIPS(R) composite management module now enables an end-to-end solution to help clients maintain the composite through an automated process all the way through to creating necessary disclosures. The performance attribution module was expanded to include additional methodologies that helps meet both client and evolving industry requirements for both equity and fixed income attribution models. -- Information Delivery, a key component of the data management solution, which provides capabilities for reporting and dissemination of information, delivers a number of new packaged options for viewing and receiving information in V9.0. The solution was enhanced to allow more points of flexibility to enable clients to generate multiple views of data through the Eagle Data Mart, a tool enabling users to define their universe of reportable data and, in turn, deliver this enriched data to any downstream system or application.

Ark Asset Management Co., Inc. Selects Eagle ACCESS ASP Solution

BOSTON, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services technology and a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon, today announced that Ark Asset Management Co., Inc. (Ark), a leading investment management firm in the institutional marketplace, will transition its installation of the Eagle investment management suite, which is currently managed in-house, to the Eagle ACCESS application service provider.

In 2003, Ark implemented Eagle's data management, accounting, and performance solutions to leverage the advanced functionality, flexibility and scalability they provided. Since then, Ark has incrementally shifted its technology strategy from internally managing its middle- and back-office systems to a total outsource model. The migration to Eagle ACCESS will be the final step in the process. Once completed, it will allow the firm to focus on growing its asset management business, improving its IT infrastructure and reducing its number of committed resources.

"When we began our relationship with Eagle years ago, our initial goal was to acquire a data management, performance and investment accounting system that offered flexibility, ease-of-use and scalability, and Eagle's solutions have certainly met this need," said Gillian Plastaras, chief administrative officer of Ark Asset Management Co., Inc. "As our firm has evolved, we have shifted our focus to leveraging Eagle's robust solutions to our maximum benefit, without the costs and need for additional resources dedicated to managing and maintaining an in-house platform."

Since 2004, Ark has outsourced all of its IT and middle- and back-office operations to iX Partners, including Ark's technology-related staffing, vendor management and service delivery requirements. iX Partners will continue managing the remaining in-house technology and will interface directly with Eagle ACCESS on Ark's behalf.

"For a few years now, Ark has been using hosted and outsourced solutions to run its IT and investment operations," said Paul Cucurullo, managing partner of iX Partners. "This is Ark's next step in the direction of moving all systems off site to allow its business leaders to focus on core business competencies. As a strategic partner of Ark's we will use our Eagle and investment management operations expertise to leverage Eagle ACCESS' outstanding capabilities and to continue in our strategic and tactical role with Ark."

"In today's economic state, we have noticed a trend where many firms like Ark want to concentrate on core business needs and allow service providers to manage the scheduled upgrades, disaster recovery, and other technology requirements," said John Lehner, president of Eagle. "By leveraging the Eagle ACCESS model, Ark will be able to reduce its infrastructure overhead and repurpose those resources toward expanding its business and servicing investors."

About Ark Asset Management Co., Inc.

Ark Asset Management Co., Inc. ("Ark") manages US equity and US fixed income assets for institutional clients, including sub-advisory relationships for pooled vehicles. The firm has substantial experience managing portfolios in all types of market environments and is committed to delivering quality investment management and service to our clients.

"This latest product approval at a Tier-1 NSP is another clear indicator that our innovative transport and datacom test solutions are creating a major upheaval in the next-generation protocol test market," said Germain Lamonde, EXFO's Chairman, President and CEO. "I'm pleased with the ongoing success of our transport/datacom test solutions as they surpassed 20% of Telecom Division revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and are increasingly gaining traction with Tier-1 accounts."

"As our brand equity continues to build and customers become more familiar with our protocol test solutions, I'm highly optimistic that this business will continue representing a major growth vehicle for EXFO in 2008 and beyond," Mr. Lamonde added. "As well, with the recent acquisitions of Brix Networks and Navtel Communications, we intend to cross-leverage technologies across our various R&D sites to further increase growth in protocol testing and expand into the application layers of the stack."

Cardium Launches New AWARE Clinical Study Website

SAN DIEGO, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardium Therapeutics today announced the launch of a new website at http://www.anginaresearchstudy.com/ to provide patients, caregivers and physicians with information about the Company's Phase 3 AWARE clinical study. The AWARE study is evaluating the therapeutic effects of Generx(TM) for the potential treatment of myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood flow within the heart muscle) and associated angina due to coronary heart disease. Generx is designed to promote angiogenesis, a natural process of blood vessel growth within the heart muscle, following a one-time intracoronary infusion from a standard cardiac infusion catheter.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051018/CARDIUMLOGO)

The AWARE (Angiogenesis in Women with Angina pectoris who are not candidates for Revascularization) study, a Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, is planned to enroll approximately 300 women with recurrent stable angina pectoris who are not candidates for revascularization and who are receiving optimal drug therapy. The primary endpoint is the improvement in time to onset of electrocardiogram changes diagnostic of myocardial ischemia during exercise treadmill testing at six months following administration. The secondary endpoints are improvement in myocardial blood flow within the affected heart muscle measured by adenosine SPECT imaging, as well as improvements in other measures of angina. The AWARE study is expected to include up to 50 U.S. clinical centers. Enrollment criteria, participating sites and other information can be found at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00438867 and at Cardium's website at http://www.cardiumthx.com/flash/aware.html.

Currently, there are 49 participating AWARE sites in 32 states across the nation, including: Alabama (University of Alabama, Birmingham); Arizona (Banner Baywood Heart Hospital and Medical Center, Mesa; Southwest Heart, Tucson); California (Cardiovascular Medical Group of Southern CA, Beverly Hills; Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles; LA Cardiology Associates, Los Angeles; Mission Internal Medical Group, Mission Viejo; UCSD Medical Center, San Diego); Colorado (Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates, Aurora; South Denver Cardiology Associates, Littleton); District of Columbia (Cardiovascular Research Institute, Washington); Florida (Florida Hospital, Orlando; University of Florida, Gainesville); Georgia (St. Joseph's Research Institute, Atlanta); Idaho (St. Luke's Idaho Cardiology Associates, Boise); Illinois (Fox Valley Cardiovascular Consultants, Aurora; Midwest Heart Foundation, Lombard); Indiana (Northern Indiana Research Alliance, Fort Wayne; The Care Group, LLC, Indianapolis); Kentucky (CardioVascular Associates, Louisville); Massachusetts (Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston); Maine (Maine Medical Center, Portland); Michigan (William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak); Minnesota (Minneapolis Heart Institute, Minneapolis; St. Mary's Duluth Clinic, Duluth); Missouri (St. Anthony's Medical Center, St. Louis; St. Lukes Hospital, Kansas City); Nebraska (BryanLGH Heart Institute, Lincoln; The Cardiac Center of Creighton University, Omaha); New Jersey (The Valley Hospital, Ridgewood); New York (Lenox Hill Heart & Vascular Institute, New York; University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester); North Carolina (Duke University Medical Center, Durham); Ohio (The Lindner Clinical Trial Center, Cincinnati; North Ohio Heart Center, Elria); Oklahoma (Oklahoma Cardiovascular Research Group, Inc., Oklahoma City); Oregon (Providence Heart & Vascular Institute, Portland); Pennsylvania (Geisinger Clinic, Danville; Heritage Cardiology Associates, Camp Hill); Rhode Island (The Miriam Hospital, Providence); Tennessee (Meharry Medical College, Nashville; The Stern Cardiovascular Center, Germantown); Texas (Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas; Baylor College of Medicine, Houston; Cardiovascular Associates of East Texas, Tyler; South Texas Cardiovascular Consultants, San Antonio); Vermont (Fletcher Allen Health Care, Burlington); Washington (Swedish Heart and Vascular Clinic, Seattle); and Wisconsin (Care Foundation, Wausau).

About Women and Heart Disease

An estimated 7.3 million American women are currently living with coronary heart disease. Of these, approximately 4.6 million American women suffer from angina and it is estimated that approximately 300,000 women will die annually from coronary heart disease. The American Heart Association reports that more women's lives are claimed annually by cardiovascular disease than by the next five leading causes of death combined (all cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Alzheimer's, diabetes and accidents). Despite these stark statistics, surveys indicate that nearly half of women are not aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, and only 20 percent were aware that heart disease as the greatest health problem facing women today. Observed differences between men and women with coronary heart disease are not fully understood. Some researchers believe the differences may be the result of microvascular disease, the narrowing or stiffening of the smaller arteries and arterioles that nourish the heart. While microvascular disease is believed to affect both men and women with coronary heart disease, the prevalence is higher in women and in patients with diabetes.

About Generx

Generx(TM) (alferminogene tadenovec, Ad5FGF-4) is the lead product candidate in a new class of cardiovascular biologics that is being developed to leverage the body's natural healing processes in response to repeated ischemic stress (insufficient blood flow and myocardial oxygen supply due to coronary heart disease). The natural biologic response to repeated transient ischemia is angiogenesis, the growth of new collateral blood vessels, which is orchestrated by a complex and incompletely understood cascade involving many growth factors. These newly-formed vessels can effectively augment blood flow and oxygen delivery to parts of the patient's heart downstream from a blockage in a coronary artery. In many patients however, including those with recurrent angina, coronary collateral vessel formation is insufficient to meet the heart's needs during stress. Currently available anti-anginal drugs, which may provide symptomatic relief, are generally designed to alter the oxygen demand of the heart muscle or dilate vessels to temporarily relieve angina. Generx is designed to be a disease-modifying angiogenic therapeutic to promote the heart's natural response to ischemia through the growth of new blood vessels to increase blood flow within the heart muscle.

Cardium's therapeutic approach to the treatment of myocardial ischemia associated with coronary heart disease has been the focus of the most widely-conducted clinical studies for Angiogenic Gene Therapy (AGENT-1 through AGENT-4), which involved 663 patients at more than 100 U.S., European and other international medical centers. Generx represents the first and only DNA-based cardiovascular therapeutic to be advanced to Phase 3, and the Company believes it to be the only current Phase 3 product candidate for the potential treatment of patients with stable angina, a chronic medical condition affecting millions of patients in the U.S. and worldwide.

About Cardium

Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, InnerCool Therapies, Inc. and the Tissue Repair Company, are medical technology companies primarily focused on the development, manufacture and sale of innovative therapeutic products and devices for cardiovascular, ischemic and related indications. Cardium's lead product candidate, Generx(TM) (alferminogene tadenovec, Ad5FGF-4), is a DNA-based growth factor therapeutic being developed for potential use by interventional cardiologists as a one-time treatment to promote and stimulate the growth of collateral circulation in the hearts of patients with ischemic conditions such as recurrent angina. For more information about Cardium and its businesses, products and therapeutic candidates, please visit http://www.cardiumthx.com/ or view its 2007 Annual Report at http://www.cardiumthx.com/flash/pdf/CardiumAR07_Book_FINAL.pdf.

Cardium's InnerCool Therapies subsidiary is a San Diego-based medical technology company in the emerging field of patient temperature modulation therapy to rapidly and controllably cool the body in order to reduce cell death and damage following acute ischemic events such as cardiac arrest or stroke, and to potentially lessen or prevent associated injuries such as adverse neurological outcomes. For more information about Cardium's InnerCool subsidiary and patient temperature modulation, including InnerCool's Celsius Control System(TM) and CoolBlue System(TM), please visit http://www.innercool.com/.

Cardium's Tissue Repair Company subsidiary (TRC) is a San Diego-based biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of growth factor therapeutics for the treatment of severe chronic diabetic wounds. TRC's lead product candidate, Excellarate(TM), is a DNA-activated collagen gel for topical treatment formulated with an adenovector delivery carrier encoding human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). Excellarate is initially being developed to be administered once or twice for the potential treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Other potential applications for TRC's Gene Activated Matrix(TM) (GAM(TM)) technology include therapeutic angiogenesis (cardiovascular ischemia, peripheral arterial disease) and orthopedic products, including hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue (ligament, tendon, cartilage) repair. For more information about Cardium's Tissue Repair Company subsidiary, please visit http://www.t-r-co.com/.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for statements of historical fact, the matters discussed in this press release are forward looking and reflect numerous assumptions and involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and may cause actual results to differ materially from stated expectations. For example, there can be no assurance that results or trends observed in one clinical study will be reproduced in subsequent studies, that our clinical trials can be initiated and conducted in a timely and effective manner, that clinical trials and other efforts to accelerate the development of our Generx(TM) product candidate will be successful, that necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained, that our actual or proposed products and treatments will prove to be sufficiently safe and effective, that competing products will not be safer, more effective or less expensive, that third parties on whom we depend will perform as anticipated, or that our products or product candidates will lead to value enhancing or partnering opportunities. Actual results may also differ substantially from those described in or contemplated by this press release due to risks and uncertainties that exist in our operations and business environment, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties that are inherent in the development, testing and marketing of complex biologics and therapeutic hypothermia devices and in the conduct of human clinical trials, including the cost, timing and results of such trials, our dependence upon proprietary technology, our ability to obtain necessary funding, regulatory approvals and qualifications, our history of operating losses and accumulated deficits, our reliance on collaborative relationships and critical personnel, and current and future competition, as well as other risks described from time to time in filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date hereof.

(OTC Pink Sheets: ATAR), one of the world's most recognized brands and a third-party video game publisher and distributor, alongside Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. announced today that Neverwinter Nights(TM) 2: Storm of Zehir is currently in production. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, one of the premier independent development studios in the world, the second expansion to Neverwinter Nights 2 will deliver an engrossing DUNGEONS & DRAGONS(R) experience in the tradition of the Neverwinter Nights franchise and is scheduled for worldwide launch Q4 2008.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir hearkens back to the days of the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale franchises by including full party customization, dungeon crawling, and free exploration of a non-linear game world via an Overland Map. The gripping storyline foreshadows the events that will take place in the Forgotten Realms with the coming release this June of the Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons(R) Roleplaying Game.

In the aftermath of the defeat of the King of Shadows, the Sword Coast is in the midst of an uneasy economic recovery. Trade syndicates have sprung up to exploit the post-war confusion for their own ends and the players' party will wade into this uncertain environment. In order to increase their own fortunes, they can either ally with a syndicate to create a trade empire, or cut their own path through Faerun by preying upon caravans and selling the goods on the black market. As they attempt to extend their influence, players will become aware of a new faction working behind the scenes: the evil, shape-shifting, serpentine Yuan-Ti.

In addition to trading and economic manipulation, the Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Overland Map allows players to explore the Chultan Peninsula and Sword Coast in a non-linear manner never before seen in any of the Neverwinter Nights games. Exploration will take players from well-known locations, like Neverwinter and Crossroad Keep, to more exotic areas, such as the xenophobic jungle nation of Samarach. Groups of highwaymen and monsters populate the Overland Map and the farther from civilization the player roams, the more difficult the encounters become. The 15-hour campaign in Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir is also packed with new classes, spells, creatures, and playable races.

Fans of the compelling multiplayer features of Neverwinter Nights 2 will also be able to take advantage of new improvements to the multiplayer experience, while modders will be able to take advantage of the power and flexibility of the Overland Map and Trading System features along with other world-building enhancements.

Game Features: -- Travel the Sword Coast and Samarach using the open-ended exploration of the new Overland Map. Use skills like Spot and Survival while on the Overland Map to avoid ambushes and even find hidden locales and lost artifacts. -- Create your own full party of adventurers. Devastate your foes with a squad of fireball-flinging Sorcerers, form a solid wall of steel with a party of Fighters, or strike the perfect balance in your party by spreading out the classes you choose for your characters. -- Improved party gameplay including streamlined party conversations, a new Teamwork Benefit System, and powerful party feats. -- The world's economy reacts to your adventures and choices. And, through trading and quests, you can expand your merchant company into a massive trading empire. More information about Neverwinter Nights 2 can be found at http://www.nwn2.com/ .

Synopsys Announces DesignWare IP for PCI Express with PCI-SIG I/O Virtualization TechnologyNew DesignWare IP Lowers Power, Reduces Cost and Increases Performance for Enterprise Computing Systems

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, today announced the availability of DesignWare(R) IP for PCI Express with PCI-SIG(R) Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) technology. The PCI-SIG I/O Virtualization (IOV) technology, which builds on the PCI Express (PCIe) protocol stack, reduces the system hardware requirements by enabling the simultaneous sharing of peripherals across multiple CPUs or operating systems. By supporting the PCI-SIG IOV technology, the new DesignWare IP allows resources to be allocated more easily and efficiently, thus lowering power, improving performance and reducing overall costs in blade servers, storage and networking applications used in enterprise computing systems.

"With the increased bandwidth demands in next-generation enterprise computing infrastructure applications, the PCI-SIG IOV technology can help reduce the cost and increase the performance of virtualized systems," said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG chairman and president. "As an active member of PCI-SIG, Synopsys continues to help designers quickly adopt the latest PCI Express specifications by providing IP that allows them to easily integrate the PCI-SIG SR-IOV technology in their chips."

Synopsys offers a complete DesignWare IP solution consisting of digital controllers, PHY and verification IP, all of which fully support the PCI-SIG SR-IOV 1.0 specification. As the leading provider of PCI Express IP, Synopsys collaborated with key companies developing products for enterprise computing to help ensure that the DesignWare IP for PCI Express with PCI-SIG SR-IOV technology contains the necessary features required to serve this market. The DesignWare IP operates at 2.5 GT/s or 5.0 GT/s per lane and is fully configurable. It supports multiple Physical Functions (PF) and Virtual Functions (VF) such as Alternative Routing ID Interpretation (ARI), Function Level Reset (FLR), and Address Translation Services (ATS), providing designers with the ability to select the optimal feature set required for their target design. In addition, the IP preserves the existing DesignWare IP for PCI Express application interface, allowing easy integration of SR-IOV technology into a system on a chip (SoC).

"After evaluating other vendors, Synopsys' high performance, low latency and low gate count DesignWare IP, combined with the SR-IOV technology, was the ideal solution for us," said Bruce Tolley, vice president of marketing at Solarflare. "Synopsys is well known in the industry for delivering high-quality IP, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them to develop our next generation 10G Ethernet controllers for server adapters utilizing the SR-IOV technology."

"The enterprise computing market is driving the need for advanced functionality such as I/O virtualization in the PCI Express standard," said John Koeter, senior director of marketing for IP and Services at Synopsys. "Our new DesignWare IP for PCI Express with PCI-SIG SR-IOV technology implements the necessary features for this dynamic market and helps designers lower integration risk and meet their critical market windows."

Availability

The complete DesignWare IP for PCI Express solution with support for PCI-SIG SR-IOV is available immediately for early adopters, with general availability expected at the end of June.
