    Verizon Landline Network Weathering Historic Floods, Severe Storms in MidwestMany Landline Phones Function During Power Outages

    FORT WAYNE, Ind., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon technicians have made significant progress in restoring telephone service to customers affected by the historic flooding and severe storms that have wracked the Midwest over the last two weeks.

    Overall, Verizon's landline telecommunications network in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin has held up well throughout the storms, and many of the company's customers whose homes and businesses have not been flooded and who have corded, landline phones have been able to use those phones even as power failed in many areas.

    In addition to the restoration efforts, Verizon and its employees have been participating in efforts to provide aid to affected consumers, such as giving out bottled water in some areas and assisting in storm damage cleanup. The Verizon Foundation also has begun a 1-to-1 match for every dollar donated by Verizon employees in support of relief efforts under way across the Midwest.

    "Every spring and summer, severe weather poses a threat to how people communicate and can affect how Verizon provides communications services -- and this spring has been particularly nasty," said Michael P. O'Keefe, vice president of customer operations for Verizon's Central region. "However, the dependability of our landline network and phone service gives customers the peace of mind that, even during power outages, they can stay connected to friends, family, associates and, most important, 911."

    Customer repair reports to Verizon have been running from two to six times normal as customers in the five-state region return to their homes and businesses and assess the damage. The company has mobilized its workforce and extended technicians' hours to restore service as quickly as possible. In addition, Verizon technicians shifted from Texas are helping in the hardest-hit areas. Access to flooded areas and downed telephone poles are two of the biggest challenges facing the technicians as they work to restore service.

    The Verizon landline network, which nationally processes more than 1 billion calls a day, with 99.9 percent reliability, is self-powered, with backup power in place, so customers can still make phone calls on a corded phone during a power outage, said O'Keefe.

    People who use a cordless home phone, cable phone or voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) connection over broadband will most likely lose service when the power fails.

    "Corded phones remain the most reliable way to maintain communications during severe weather because Verizon has always worked to ensure our landline network continues to provide unparalleled reliability," said O'Keefe.

    Customers can purchase an inexpensive phone with a cord that plugs directly into a wall jack at many retail outlets that sell electronic equipment.

    Customers should avoid talking on a landline phone when thunder and lightning are present.

    Residential and small-business customers with five lines or fewer should call 800-483-1000 to request a repair. Businesses with more than five lines should call 800-483-2000. Verizon will offer to forward calls from the non-working number to another phone number that is working, at no charge.

    Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving more than 67 million customers nationwide. Verizon's Wireline operations include Verizon Business, which delivers innovative and seamless business solutions to customers around the world, and Verizon Telecom, which brings customers the benefits of converged communications, information and entertainment services over the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network. A Dow 30 company, Verizon employed a diverse workforce of approximately 232,000 as of the end of the first quarter 2008 and last year generated consolidated operating revenues of $93.5 billion.

    Verizon Business Receives 2007 Product of the Year Award From 'Communications Solutions'Verizon Business IP Trunking Honored for Outstanding Innovation

    BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Web site, Communications Solutions (http://www.comsolmag.com/), covering advances in hardware, software and services, has named Verizon Business' IP Trunking a 2007 Product of the Year.

    Trunks are communications lines that connect switching systems. Verizon IP Trunking services use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling to interoperate with either an IP or time division multiplex (TDM) private branch exchange (PBX) or key system. This versatility gives a customer an easy way to replace traditional TDM trunk lines provided through the public switched telephone network.

    "Verizon Business continues to enhance and expand its VoIP portfolio to make it easier for customers to enjoy the benefits of IP-based communications," said Nancy Gofus, Verizon Business senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "This award showcases our commitment to advancing technology for customers who are adopting VoIP and other IP-based services to more efficiently and cost-effectively manage communications across their enterprise."

    Rich Tehrani, TMC president and group editor-in-chief of Communications Solutions, said, "Verizon Business has been recognized with a 2007 Product of the Year Award for their excellence in the advancement of VoIP communications. Verizon Business has proven they are committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."

    The eighth annual Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of the prestigious award. The most innovative products and services brought to market in 2007 were selected as recipients of this year's Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for their groundbreaking achievement.

    Verizon Business IP Trunking has a nationwide footprint covering more than 350 metropolitan markets in the United States. In addition, the local service supports local-to-global coverage in France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom, with plans to expand further expand in Europe (Italy, Spain, Sweden and Ireland in 2008).

    In December 2007, Verizon Business introduced several major enhancements for its IP Trunking customers, with on-demand networking via Burstable Enterprise Shared Trunks (BEST), additional IP PBX platform support, a new path to VoIP through the company's Ethernet-to-Private IP-access option, and automated rerouting of calls to maintain business continuity.

    The 2007 Product of the Year Award winners can be found on the Communications Solutions Web site.

    About the Verizon Business VoIP Portfolio

    Today, the five Verizon Business VoIP solutions -- IP Flexible T1 (available only in the United States), IP Integrated Access, IP Trunking, Hosted IP Centrex and Managed IP PBX -- enable high-quality voice communications in a converged network environment, leveraging Verizon Business' vast national and international footprint and a wide range of innovative features. Verizon Business is a leader in developing and delivering IP solutions helping large businesses and government agencies transition to VoIP on their own path and pace.

    AT&T Enables New Water Management Company to Build Business Around Monitoring Water Levels in the HomeAT&T Helps Spring Water On Tap Establish a New Business Model for Spring Water Delivery, Managing Large Water Supplies for Customers in Their Homes

    ATLANTA, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. today announced a contract with Spring Water On Tap, an Atlanta-based natural spring water supplier.

    AT&T will provide Spring Water On Tap with AT&T RFID Service which works seamlessly with Spring Water On Tap's existing wireless network infrastructure. The service will enable Spring Water On Tap to benefit from precise, on-demand tracking of water inventories in its customers' homes.

    Spring Water On Tap provides large permanent tanks to customers and maintains fresh spring water supplies in those tanks for all of customers' personal uses in the home. AT&T RFID Service enables wireless-based RFID tags to send regular signals to keep track of customer water levels and provides status updates, which are available for Spring Water On Tap staff to view with a Web browser anywhere on the company's wireless network.

    With AT&T RFID Service, Spring Water On Tap also will be able to enhance the efficiency of distribution routes for its water delivery units, so that trucks are always dispatched to service customers in need and do not make unnecessary checkup stops. By viewing customer tank levels over the network, Spring Water On Tap delivery staff will be able to plan routes and water drop- offs more efficiently.

    AT&T will deploy 1000 RFID units in Atlanta, to be followed by a projected 6000 units in other cities where Spring Water On Tap plans operations across the Southeast.

    "The core driver of our business is efficiency. We needed to develop a system to proactively and unobtrusively monitor the water levels of our customers' tanks in their homes," said Percy Jones, CEO, Spring Water On Tap. "AT&T has enabled our company to accomplish our mission of providing customers with a seamless supply of fresh spring water in their homes at all times."

    AT&T RFID Service is part of AT&T's overall portfolio of sensor-based networking solutions that enable businesses to track a wide variety of valuable resources in real time.

    About Spring Water On Tap

    Spring Water On Tap is an innovative company whose main focus is delivery of a great product that is great for human consumption and helps protect our environment.

A long-time pioneer in the water industry, he has always desired to develop a way to deliver fresh, clean water in an efficient manner to customers. The developed technology for the company will allow trucks to go from the company's spring water sources directly to homes and businesses and will monitor the product in real time so that it can be routed immediately to any desired location. Spring Water On Tap is a company that is also focused on the environment. We hope to eliminate the use of the plastic bottles that are so detrimental to our environment.

    World's Largest Producer of Martial Arts Gear Will Punch Up Its Marketing Programs With Microsoft Dynamics CRMWith Microsoft technology, Century Martial Arts expects to improve the way it meets customized needs of thousands of martial arts schools.

    REDMOND, Wash., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced that Century Martial Arts Supply, the world's largest manufacturer of martial arts, mixed martial arts, boxing and fitness equipment, has selected Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to provide customer information on a more detailed level than was available with its previous systems. Century's customers include thousands of martial arts schools globally for which the company supplies equipment, curriculum programs, trade-show events and customized products.

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

    Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides powerful, role-based customer relationship management capabilities. Century will integrate it with the company's current Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 business management solution and its Microsoft Office and Microsoft Exchange Server.

    Century, with more than 300 employees based at its Oklahoma City manufacturing and distribution center, sells products through catalogs and the Web as well as through sporting-goods chains.

    "We wanted to get to know our customers better," said Paul Webb, vice president of Information Technology at Century Martial Arts. "Dramatic differences exist among our customers -- for example between a karate school and a jujitsu school. We wanted to know how to help them better with their businesses, and that meant we had to understand their needs and buying patterns over multiple dimensions -- sizes, colors and versions. Microsoft Dynamics CRM will dramatically improve our understanding of each customer on an individual basis."

    Previously, Century had examined historical purchases, buying trends, surveys and feedback from customers and focus groups to gather business intelligence, compiling spreadsheets, reports and analytics. Century needed more extensive reporting, however, to achieve its goal of taking a more proactive approach in suggestive selling to customers, and to increase brand loyalty.

    Century Martial Arts considered Salesforce.com and SugarCRM open-source software before determining that Microsoft Dynamics CRM would best meet its needs.

    "Besides being competitively priced, Microsoft Dynamics CRM integrated into our existing Microsoft architecture, its functionality and ease of use were attractive, and other Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers that we interviewed gave it extremely high marks on productivity," Webb said.

    Century selected Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Tribridge Inc. to assist with the implementation of the technology. Working with Tribridge, Century will plan implementation of the marketing aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM that will be used by the marketing and sales staff members conducting outbound calls and visits. Century expects to refine its marketing campaigns to ensure that they are reaching the right customers and prospects, that the marketing messages are timely and appealing, that their efforts are compelling to customers, and that they build the company's brand.

    Century Martial Arts anticipates that Microsoft Dynamics CRM will benefit the organization in a number of ways:

    -- Support for company growth. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is expected to help Century increase sales, because the company will be able to hone its marketing efforts to the unique needs of various sectors of its customer base. The technology will form one of the pillars of the company's ability to gather information that will equip its sales and marketing staff members more effectively than before.

    -- Improved return on marketing investments. The company will be able to spend marketing and advertising dollars more wisely and thereby should obtain a higher return on the resources it invests in those areas. It also will have the capability to introduce new marketing methods in the future through e-mail campaigns and other programs based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM functionality.

    -- Time savings. The organization expects to be able to analyze its results more readily and respond more rapidly to developments in the marketplace. When it runs a marketing campaign, Century will be able to measure its effectiveness quickly and fine-tune subsequent campaigns. This heightened effectiveness also is expected to save the company money in its marketing budget, because it will be able to target its programs more precisely.

    -- Improved reporting. Microsoft Dynamics CRM will furnish Century with timelier reporting at a more detailed level than was previously available to the organization. With dashboards, it also will provide better and more up-to-date business intelligence than the company previously could gather. With the reporting from Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Century will be able to analyze the buying patterns of different schools and work with customers on missed opportunities for volume discounts and other savings.

    -- Better data management. Century anticipates that its new Microsoft technology will increase the integrity of its data as well as the amount of data the organization can manage.

    -- Better planning data. Over time, as Century records more information in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM database, it will gain insights to help it plan and execute sales, marketing and advertising better than before, because executives will be able to see which campaigns and offers are working the best.

    -- Integration across the company. All aspects of the company are expected to benefit from Microsoft Dynamics CRM and the way it will integrate with Microsoft Dynamics AX and Century's forecasting capabilities.

    -- Improved use of IT staff. Because Microsoft Dynamics CRM will allow sales and marketing personnel to produce their own reports and make most changes to formatting, such as adding a tab or a field, the administrative burden on Century's IT staff is lightened. The IT staff now can work on transitioning to new technologies and capabilities while non-IT staff takes ownership of their own data.

    "An organization like Century Martial Arts, which operates as a manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler and retailer, requires a deep and individualized understanding of its thousands of customers, each with its own needs," said Michael Park, corporate vice president for U.S. Dynamics business at Microsoft. "Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides the customer with intelligence and ease of use that make such a deep comprehension of customer preferences and buying patterns possible in a timely manner."

"Both the form factor of this balun and its performance characteristics allow for significant improvements in layout and implementation methodology used to achieve this function in frequency converters. For the design engineer, it means a reduced component count, lower cost, and increased performance ... a win/win/win."

    Bowyer added: "that the new family of softboard components was driven by input from the field. These baluns have been developed with input from four of the world's largest ADC IC manufacturers who were keenly interested in making sure their function and performance meet both current and future expectations in this market segment."

    Top Analyst Firm Positions RSA, The Security Division of EMC, in Leaders Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss PreventionDesignation Based on RSA(R) Data Loss Prevention Suite's "Completeness of Vision" and "Ability to Execute"

    BEDFORD, Mass., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC , today announced that it is positioned in the Leaders quadrant within Gartner's 2008 Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss Prevention. This designation was based on the RSA(R) Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Suite's completeness of vision and ability to execute, and appears in the June 2008 report by Eric Ouellet and Paul Proctor entitled "Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss Prevention."

    Gartner defines Data Loss Prevention tools as those "used to prevent inadvertent or accidental loss or exposure of sensitive enterprise information using content inspection technologies." The report also states, "We have long believed that integrated network, endpoint and discovery capabilities -- with a centralized management console capable of distributing a consistent set of policies and providing usable back-end workflow for alerting on and remediating violations -- [is] the ultimate goal and destination of this market."

    "We believe that our position in the leaders' quadrant of the Data Loss Prevention Magic Quadrant reflects the completeness of our vision and validates that we are positioned to provide solutions that address the overall process of helping to secure data in a holistic manner," said Dennis Hoffman, Vice President and General Manager, Data Security Group, and Chief Strategy Officer at RSA, The Security Division of EMC. "We continue to be vigilant in enhancing our DLP offerings, bringing significant enhancements to market with our 6.0 release which was announced last month, starting integration on all our data security products, and collaborating with industry leaders like Cisco so that customers can discover, monitor, and enforce the use of sensitive data directly into the infrastructure -- no matter where it moves, how it moves or where it is."

    The RSA DLP Suite is engineered to provide unified, seamless data policy orchestration across the enterprise, allowing customers to discover and monitor sensitive data and apply the appropriate enforcement mechanisms to secure sensitive data across the IT stack. The DLP Suite includes RSA DLP Endpoint, RSA DLP Network, and RSA DLP Datacenter, with overall management of the Suite provided by the RSA DLP Enterprise Manager.

    Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant positions "vendors in a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to the report, "Leaders" in the DLP market have demonstrated a good understanding of client needs and offer comprehensive capabilities in network, discovery and endpoint."

    Network-1 Enters Into New Agreement With MicrosemiMicrosemi Agrees to License the '930 Patent under a New Special Licensing Program

    NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NSSI) today announced the it entered into an agreement with Microsemi Corp-Analog Mixed Signal Group Ltd (previously PowerDsine Ltd), a subsidiary of Microsemi Corporation a leading manufacturer of high performance analog mixed-signal integrated circuits and high reliability semiconductors, which, among other things, amends the prior Settlement Agreement entered into between the parties in November 2005.

    Under the new agreement, on June 25, 2008 Network-1 will commence an industry-wide Special Licensing Program for U.S. Patent No. 6,218,930 (the "Remote Power Patent") owned by Network-1 to vendors of PoE equipment. The Special Licensing Program is of limited duration (through December 31, 2008) and is being implemented on an industry-wide basis to offer discounted running royalty rates and exceptions to Network-1's standard licensing terms and conditions for the '930 Patent to PoE vendors who are "early adopters" and enter into license agreements without delay to avoid litigation and higher royalties. The new agreement enables Microsemi to assist in its customer's evaluation of the Remote Power Patent and the terms being made available to vendors of PoE equipment pursuant to the Special Licensing Program, an activity that was previously prohibited by the 2005 Settlement Agreement with PowerDsine.

    The new agreement also provides that Microsemi will, by August 15, 2008, enter into a license agreement under the Special Licensing Program for certain Midspan PoE products. Microsemi designs, develops and supplies PoE Midspans, systems, integrated circuits and modules that enable the implementation of power over Ethernet in local area networks and provide the capability to deliver and manage electrical power over existing data network cables.

    "As has always been our goal, we are committed to simplifying the licensing of this critical technology in order to further accelerate the growth of PoE," said Corey Horowitz, Chairman and CEO of Network-1. "At the same time, we are providing vendors of PoE network equipment, including the major data networking equipment manufacturers against which we initiated patent litigation in February 2008, a new limited window to take advantage of very attractive licensing terms versus our standard rates and the higher rates that would result from unnecessary delay and wasteful litigation."

    On February 11, 2008, Network-1 announced it had initiated patent litigation against several major data networking equipment manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, for infringement of its Remote Power Patent. Named as defendants in the lawsuit were Cisco Systems, Inc., Cisco-Linksys, LLC, Enterasys Networks, Inc., 3Com Corporation, Inc., Extreme Networks, Inc., Foundry Networks, Inc., NETGEAR, Inc., and Adtran, Inc. The Special Licensing Program will be available to all vendors of PoE equipment including those companies that are defendants in the recent patent litigation filed by Network-1 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and who enter into a license agreement with Network- 1 within 120 days of a scheduling order being entered in the case.

    By taking advantage of PoE technology, companies can deploy next generation solutions such as Voice over IP and Wireless LAN's without having to run separate power cables. PoE technology provides numerous benefits including significant deployment savings and increased service reliability through centralized backup power. These benefits have caused industry analysts to identify PoE as a "must have" technology and vendors have responded with a wealth of new products offerings.

    Indeed, industry analysts expect PoE to become a defacto technology embedded in LAN Ethernet switches that power devices such as wireless access points, VoIP telephones, and network cameras, among others. Industry analysts estimate that in 2007 fully 20% of all Ethernet switch ports were PoE enabled and between 90 and 95% of IP Phones and Wireless Access Points were also so enabled.

    Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. is engaged in the acquisition, development, licensing and protection of its intellectual property and proprietary technologies. It currently owns six patents covering various telecommunications and data networking technologies and is currently focusing its licensing efforts on its Remote Power Patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,218,930) covering the remote delivery of power over Ethernet networks.

    J.D. Power and Associates Reports: Cox Communications and Qwest Rank Highest in Satisfying Business Customers With Telecommunications Data ServicesSpending on Data Services Declines among Small and Midsize Domestic Businesses

    WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Communications and Qwest rank highest in satisfying small/midsize and large enterprise business customers with telecommunications data services, respectively, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Major Provider Business Telecommunications Study(SM) released today.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050527/LAF028LOGO-a)

    The study measures customer satisfaction with providers of telecommunications data services, such as cable modem, DSL, T1, T3/DS3, ethernet and frame relay. Providers are ranked in two segments: small/midsize businesses (companies with 2 to 499 employees) and large enterprise businesses (companies with 500 or more employees). Six key factors are used to measure satisfaction (in order of importance): performance and reliability; sales representatives/account executives; billing; cost of service; offerings and promotions; and customer service.

    Cox Communications leads the small/midsize business segment, performing particularly well in five of six factors: performance and reliability; sales representatives/account executives; billing; cost of service; and customer service. Verizon follows Cox Communications in the segment rankings.

    In the large enterprise business segment, Qwest ranks highest in customer satisfaction, receiving highest ratings from customers in five of six factors: performance and reliability; sales representatives/account executive; billing; cost of service; and offerings and promotions. Verizon follows Qwest in the segment rankings.

    The study finds that more small and midsize businesses are spending less on telecommunications data services than they were in 2007. Approximately 81 percent of small and midsize businesses are spending less than $1,000 per month for data services, compared with 76 percent a year ago. In addition, the number of small/midsize businesses that intend to bundle telecommunication services has increased to 50 percent -- up from 48 percent in the 2007 study.

    "Some providers have lowered prices in order to maintain their market share, which is good news, especially for small and midsize businesses that are particularly vulnerable to the financial pressures associated with the current economy," said Frank Perazzini, director of telecommunications at J.D. Power and Associates. "Data services are increasingly vital to business operations regardless of size, and the ability to receive more services for less money helps these businesses cut costs without reducing headcount."

    The study also finds that the rate of switching providers among small/midsize businesses and large enterprises has declined slightly since 2007. In 2008, 14 percent of large enterprises switched providers, compared with 17 percent in 2007. Among small and midsize businesses, only 8 percent switched providers in 2008, compared with 10 percent in 2007. Additionally, 38 percent of large enterprise customers report that it would be "somewhat difficult" to switch providers, compared with 22 percent in 2007.

    "Switching data service providers is not always cost effective for large businesses that have many employees and locations to consider," said Perazzini. "Unless a business is assured a highly favorable price and superior service, the additional costs and coordination, combined with the current economic struggles, make it more likely that many businesses will wait to change providers until they have a handle on the economic outlook for their company and the major providers in the industry."

    The 2008 Major Provider Business Telecommunications Services Study is based on responses from 2,422 business customers with telecommunications data services at small/midsize and large enterprise businesses in the United States and includes evaluation of their data service providers. The study was fielded in March and April 2008.

    Customer Satisfaction Index Ranking Small/Midsize Business Segment (Based on a 1,000-point scale) Provider Index Score J.D. Power.com Power Circle Ratings For Consumers Cox Communications 651 5 Verizon 640 4 Time Warner Cable 605 3 Small/Midsize Business 600 3 Major Provider Average Comcast 594 3 AT&T 581 2 Qwest 560 2 Large Enterprise Segment (Based on a 1,000-point scale) Provider Index Score J.D.

    iCAD Initiates Clinical Study of Its Virtual Colonoscopy CAD in Partnership with ACR Image Metrix

    NASHUA, N.H., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iCAD, Inc. , an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) solutions for the early identification of cancer, today announced it has initiated a clinical study for Colon CAD, its virtual colonoscopy CAD product, in partnership with ACR Image Metrix, a subsidiary of the American College of Radiology (ACR). iCAD and ACR Image Metrix, having completed the development portion of the study, are collaborating on study execution including a multi- reader, multi-case (MRMC) clinical study designed to assess the impact of Colon CAD on the accuracy of interpreting CT Colonography exams also known as virtual colonoscopies. The study will also assess the sensitivity of Colon CAD for detecting polyps and will measure the impact of iCAD's CT Colon CAD product on interpretation and workflow.

    Virtual colonoscopy offers patients a less invasive option to conventional colonic polyp detection techniques. Reviewing these images can be tedious and challenging because of the amount of information captured in a CT exam. iCAD's colon CAD product uses sophisticated image processing analysis technology to identify polyps in images with the potential for streamlining the reading process and improving accuracy, productivity and workflow. The study, which will be managed and executed by ACR Image Metrix, will include up to 20 radiologists, is expected to take about six months to complete and will include the analysis of several hundred cases tested with virtual colonoscopy featuring Colon CAD.

    "Moving to this clinical study, which should enable iCAD to submit the necessary data to the FDA, is an exciting step bringing the Company closer to taking our Colon CAD product to market," said Ken Ferry, President and Chief Executive Officer of iCAD. "Working with ACR Image Metrix, a group with a high level of expertise in this area, will be of great value in helping us prove the tremendous benefits we believe our Colon CAD product can provide both in polyp detection and workflow enhancement. We believe our Colon CAD product has tremendous market opportunity and will be a great addition to our established CAD product lines for breast cancer detection."

    Although 140,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year, it is one of the most preventable cancers when early polyps are detected and removed. More than 82 million Americans are over 50 years of age, thus making them eligible for colorectal cancer screening; however, diagnostics are significantly underutilized, due at least in part to the invasive nature of current screening procedures such as colonoscopy. Results from recent trials including the National CTC Trial conducted by the ACR Imaging Network (ACRIN) that demonstrated the effectiveness of virtual colonoscopy as a screening procedure, coupled with recent initiatives to establish Medicare reimbursement for the procedure, may increase the viability of virtual colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening and are likely to drive increased utilization of the procedure.

    "CT Colonography will not only provide a new and necessary option for cancer detection, but has the potential to increase screening rates nationwide," said Abraham Dachman, M.D., Professor of Radiology, University of Chicago Medical Center and Principal Investigator of the Colon CAD study. "While we expect the benefits in polyp detection will be significant, we are also exploring how enhanced workflow features can add to the benefit CAD provides to CT Colonography."

    About ACR Image Metrix

    ACR Image Metrix is a subsidiary of the American College of Radiology (ACR), the premier professional society serving more than 32,000 radiologists committed to ensuring that imaging is safe, effective, and accessible to all patients. ACR Image Metrix is based on the successes of ACRIN(R), the NCI-funded clinical trials cooperative group established in 1999 to assess emerging imaging technologies. ACRIN(R)'s clinical trials have involved as few as 65 to more than 50,000 subjects and have handled over 50 million images. The ACRIN(R) portfolio includes such high-profile studies as the Digital Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST) and the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST).

    TXU Energy Launches Nation's First ZigBee-Enabled Demand Response Program Over Broadband Internet Using Comverge Smart Thermostat

    EAST HANOVER, N.J., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Comverge, Inc. , a leading clean capacity provider through demand response and energy efficiency, announced today that it has partnered with TXU Energy and Digi International to offer a demand response program in Texas, which will allow customers to manage their energy consumption over the Internet using a smart thermostat from Comverge.

    TXU Energy is launching a two-way demand response program through a partnership that includes Comverge and Digi International. Digi will provide the Ethernet/ZigBee(R) gateway, while Comverge will provide smart thermostats -- referred as the TXU Energy iThermostat(TM) -- using ZigBee enabled Home Area Network (HAN) equipment. The Energy Star(R)-certified programmable thermostat allows customers to conveniently adjust their temperature settings from any computer connected to the Internet. It also allows TXU Energy to cycle a customer's air conditioning during periods of peak energy demand, reducing the strain on generation and transmission facilities.

    "The iThermostat is great for customers who want to manage their energy usage, save money and lessen the impact on our environment without giving up comfort or convenience," said Jim Burke, CEO of TXU Energy.

    "This program provides the mechanism to deliver true two-way demand response programs over high-speed Internet connections," said Robert M. Chiste, Comverge Chairman, President and CEO. "Many utilities are beginning to deploy AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) systems which can take years to install. This technology allows them to deploy ZigBee-enabled demand response devices now, which can ultimately integrate with those systems.

    "Our Smart Grid Solutions Group is pleased to work with TXU Energy to provide them with what we believe is the most cost effective, innovative clean energy technology available on the market today, and we are very proud to help launch one of the nation's first IP gateway Home Area Networks."

    HLTH Reports Receipt of Letter

    ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HLTH Corporation today announced that, on June 18, 2008, HLTH received a letter from a law firm purporting to represent certain purported holders of HLTH's 3 1/8% Convertible Notes due 2025 enclosing a purported "notice of default." The letter, which was also sent to the Indenture Trustee, expresses the view that a default under the Indenture for the Notes has occurred because of (1) HLTH's stated intention not to issue a change-of-control notice to the Notes' holders in connection with the proposed HLTH-WebMD Health Corp. merger, and (2) HLTH's stated intention not to adjust the Notes' conversion rate under Section 10.06(c) of the Indenture following the proposed merger.

    HLTH believes that the "notice of default" is without merit and defective because, among other reasons, the proposed merger will not constitute a change of control under the Indenture and the proposed merger will not trigger a conversion-rate adjustment under Section 10.06(c) of the Indenture. Under the HLTH-WebMD Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, WebMD will assume the obligations of HLTH under the Indenture.

    About HLTH

WebMD is the leading provider of health information services for consumers, physicians, healthcare professionals, employers and health plans through its public and private online portals and health-focused publications.

    This press release does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale. In connection with the proposed merger, HLTH and WebMD expect to file, with the SEC, a proxy statement/prospectus as part of a registration statement regarding the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus because it will contain important information about HLTH and WebMD and the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents when filed by HLTH and WebMD with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov/ or http://www.hlth.com/ or http://www.wbmd.com/. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement, prospectus and other relevant material when they become available before making any voting or investment decisions with respect to the merger.

    All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including those regarding: the merger transaction between HLTH and WebMD (the "Merger Transaction"). These statements speak only as of the date of this press release, are based on HLTH's current plans and expectations, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future events or results to be different than those described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to: changes in economic, political or regulatory conditions or other trends affecting the healthcare, Internet, information technology and plastics industries. Further information about these matters can be found in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.

    Deluxe to Acquire Hostopia.comAcquisition Provides Web-Hosting Capabilities for Small Businesses

    ST. PAUL, Minn. and MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deluxe Corporation and Hostopia.com Inc. (TSX: H) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Deluxe to acquire Hostopia, a leading provider of web services that enable small and medium-sized businesses to establish and maintain an Internet presence. Deluxe will acquire Hostopia in an all-cash transaction that values Hostopia at approximately C$124 million. Under terms of the Merger Agreement, Deluxe will pay C$10.55 in cash for each outstanding Hostopia common share. Subject to a final accounting allocation of the purchase price, the acquisition is not expected to have a significant impact to Deluxe's earnings and operating cash flow for fiscal 2008.

    "We are very excited with the prospect of providing Hostopia's industry-leading, private-label web services to our small business customers and collectively growing our product and service offerings as we move forward together," said Lee Schram, Chief Executive Officer of Deluxe. "Hostopia has grown top line revenue in excess of 20 percent in each of the last three years. While we have substantial knowledge and expertise in selling to the small business market, we believe that Hostopia's ability to attract new customers and provide additional services to that market will increase the power of our offerings. This acquisition is in line with our long-term strategy of broadening the products and services we offer to small businesses to manage, promote and grow their businesses. We also believe that the transaction will offer significant value to our shareholders as we continue to introduce growing products and services with recurring revenue streams."

    Colin Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Hostopia, said, "After careful consideration, the Hostopia Board of Directors has unanimously approved this transaction with Deluxe. We believe the transaction delivers outstanding value to the Hostopia stockholders. Deluxe and Hostopia have many similarities, including a desire to help small businesses grow and promote their businesses. Our customers will benefit from augmented product and service offerings which include small business logo design, print-on-demand services and e-mail marketing, all of which have demonstrated demand from small businesses. In addition, Deluxe brings access to new channels for Hostopia including direct mail to small businesses and sales through financial institutions. We look forward to providing web-hosting capabilities to small businesses as a significant component of the services that Deluxe offers to those businesses."

    The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, is structured as a merger under applicable law. It will require the approval of Hostopia stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding Hostopia common shares at a special meeting to be called to consider the transaction. Hostopia stockholders holding in aggregate approximately 35% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hostopia common stock have agreed to vote their Hostopia common shares in favor of the transaction as long as the merger agreement is in effect, pursuant to a voting agreement with Deluxe. The transaction is also subject to certain other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2008.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain statements contained in this release may be deemed to be forward-looking statements under certain securities laws, including the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and in any applicable Canadian securities legislation, and Deluxe Corporation and Hostopia.com Inc. intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor created thereby. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the acquisition of Hostopia by Deluxe and statements concerning Deluxe's and Hostopia's, or their management's, current intentions, expectations, beliefs, projections or predictions about future results or events. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "plan" and "project" and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as "will," "may," "should," "could," or "would." By their very nature, forward-looking statements require Deluxe and Hostopia to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of Deluxe and Hostopia, which give rise to the possibility that certain predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations and other forward-looking information, including statements about the acquisition of Hostopia by Deluxe, will not be achieved. Deluxe and Hostopia caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially and adversely from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the possibility that the acquisition of Hostopia by Deluxe does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the risks and uncertainties associated with Deluxe's ability to complete the acquisition of Hostopia and to integrate Hostopia with Deluxe successfully; the ability to retain key personnel; the inherent unreliability of earnings, revenue and cash flow predictions due to numerous factors, many of which are beyond Deluxe's and Hostopia's control; developments in the demand for the combined companies' products and services; relationships with major customers and suppliers; unanticipated delays, costs and expenses inherent in the development and marketing of new products and services, including new e-commerce, customer loyalty and business services, and the failure of such new products and services to deliver the expected revenues and other financial targets; the impact of governmental laws and regulations; and competitive factors. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Additional information concerning these and other factors that could cause actual results and events to differ from Deluxe's and Hostopia's current expectations are contained in Deluxe's and Hostopia's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in Deluxe Corporation's Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008 and Hostopia's Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2007 (each as updated by subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission).
