Lockheed Martin Begins Critical Test Phase for First Advanced EHF Military Communications Satellite

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin announced today that the first Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) military communications satellite is now undergoing thermal vacuum testing at the company's Sunnyvale, Calif. facilities.

The U.S. Air Force's AEHF system will provide global, highly secure, protected, survivable communications for all warfighters serving under the U.S. Department of Defense.

One of the most significant program milestones, thermal vacuum testing will verify AEHF spacecraft functionality and performance in a vacuum environment where the satellite is stressed at the extreme hot and cold temperatures it will experience in space throughout its 14-year design life.

AEHF thermal vacuum testing is conducted in Lockheed Martin's Dual Entry Large Thermal Altitude (DELTA) chamber and is one of several critical environmental test phases that validate the overall satellite design, quality of workmanship and survivability during space vehicle launching and on-orbit operations.

"The start of spacecraft thermal vacuum testing represents a significant achievement for the entire government-industry program team," said Leonard F. Kwiatkowski, Lockheed Martin vice president and general manager of Global Communications Systems. "We look forward to executing a successful test and delivering the unprecedented communications capabilities that AEHF will provide to our military."

Following completion of spacecraft thermal vacuum testing in late July, the team of Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Sunnyvale, Calif., the Advanced EHF prime contractor, and Northrop Grumman Space Technology, Redondo Beach, Calif., the payload supplier, will perform environmental test data analysis and remaining integration and test activities necessary to prepare the vehicle for flight. The spacecraft is planned for delivery to the Air Force in early 2009 in preparation for launch aboard an Atlas V launch vehicle.

A single AEHF satellite will provide greater total capacity than the entire Milstar constellation currently on-orbit. Individual user data rates will be five times improved. The higher data rates will permit transmission of tactical military communications, such as real-time video, battlefield maps and targeting data. In addition to its tactical mission, AEHF will also provide the critical survivable, protected, and endurable communications to the National Command Authority including presidential conferencing in all levels of conflict.

Lockheed Martin is currently under contract to provide three Advanced EHF satellites and the Mission Control Segment to its customer, the Military Satellite Communications Systems Wing, located at the Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif. The program is in the early stages of adding a fourth spacecraft to the planned constellation.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2007 sales of $41.9 billion.

Black Enterprise Magazine Names Verizon to Publication's List of 40 Best Companies for Diversity

NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon has again been named to Black Enterprise magazine's 40 Best Companies for Diversity, the most recent in a series of honors this year recognizing Verizon as a top employer and a leader in corporate diversity.

In selecting the companies, Black Enterprise evaluated diversity programs and consulted with diversity experts and corporate diversity officers. The publication also conducted an extensive survey of more than 1,000 of the country's largest publicly traded companies and more than 50 leading global companies with significant U.S. operations.

This is the third time that Verizon has been named to the list. The company was cited for the diversity of its Board of Directors, for having spent $3.1 billion with women and minority suppliers in 2007, and for rating highest for the percentage of advertising dollars spent in diverse markets.

The results of the survey appear in Black Enterprise's July issue.

"We're proud to be recognized as a company that sets the standard in American business," said Magda Yrizarry, Verizon's vice president for workplace culture, diversity and compliance. "At Verizon, diversity is as much about good business practices as it is the right thing to do."

Verizon has been recognized as a leader in workplace practices by numerous publications.

Earlier this year, Verizon was named No. 1 on DiversityInc magazine's list of Top 50 Companies for Diversity, for the second time in three years. BusinessWeek ranked Verizon fourth in the publication's 12th annual ranking of the best-performing companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. For the past two years, Verizon has been ranked by BusinessWeek as one of the Best Places to Launch a Career. And for the third consecutive year, Working Mother magazine named Verizon to its list of Best Companies for Multicultural Women.

Part of Verizon's culture and an integral part of its business strategy, diversity cuts across all business groups and functions -- from human resources and supplier relations, to marketing and philanthropy. The Verizon Foundation, the company's philanthropic arm, contributed more than $34 million in 2007 to charitable causes and organizations that serve minority communities across the country. The Verizon Center for Customers with Disabilities is in its 15th year and handled over 800,000 calls last year alone. Verizon's multilingual centers were created to answer customer demand for multilingual, multicultural services and provide services in six languages -- Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian and Vietnamese.

Whether it's a wireless service, the latest in broadband technology, or the best in entertainment, Verizon depends on the unique talents, perspectives and experiences of all employees to maintain its premier network and better serve its customers.

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.

Texas Instruments Delivers RFID Asset Visibility in Harsh and Metallic Environments with Two New Low Frequency ProductsMulti-Usage Wedge Transponder and 24 mm LF Circular Inlay designed for industrial applications with TI's half-duplex technology

DALLAS, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- While 134.2 kHz low frequency (LF) RFID technology has been used to identify everything from livestock to automotive parts since the late 1980s, a host of new applications are demanding tags with improved performance in highly metallic and other harsh industrial environments. Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) , http://www.ti.com/rfid, today announced two additions to its LF product family: the 12 mm Multi-Usage Wedge Transponder and 24 mm LF Circular Inlay. The 12 mm Multi-Usage Wedge Transponder offers improvements in chip circuitry that enable direct-on-metal mounting. The 24 mm LF Circular Inlay, manufactured using TI's patented tuning process, provides improved consistency in read and write performance in applications such as waste management and industrial production.

The tags incorporate a number of TI's patented RFID technology and quality innovations including half-duplex (HDX) radio communication. HDX boosts read range by 50 percent compared with full-duplex (FDX) LF and offers a stronger RF signal because the HDX reader shuts down during the HDX tag's response. This allows the HDX reader to concentrate on receiving the signal thereby obtaining an accurate read as compared to FDX. In FDX systems, the reader signal remains on and may create RF interference as it attempts to read the FDX tag. HDX also features frequency shift keying technology which makes TI's tags more immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other ambient environmental noise, allowing the reader to effectively read and differentiate tags that are close together.

Based on his experience with TI's LF HDX technology, Gerald Dittrich, research & development director of Brooks Automation Germany said, "Our customers have challenging conditions that require TI's LF HDX technology because it offers excellent read/write performance. The TI MUSA transponder delivers on that promise. We found that it's both shock resistant and performs particularly well in customer installations where metal resides."

TI's new tags are designed for rugged applications like container tracking in waste management, vehicle identification and access control, as well as other applications in highly metallic environments, such as oil refineries, oil drilling and tool production. The tags can also be applied to carbon fiber products, including aerospace, automotive and bicycle parts, and are developed to withstand the high temperatures of the manufacturing process.

"Low frequency HDX is the workhorse we recommend for applications where metal, temperature, and noisy environments often challenge other technologies," said Mikael Ahlund, director of asset tracking for Texas Instruments RFID Systems. "The performance and quality innovations we continue to make in our LF product portfolio ensure that the technology continues to find new applications."

In addition to being able to be directly mounted on metal, TI's 12 mm Multi-Usage Wedge Transponder also features 208 bits of flexible, user programmable memory and a password protected write capability that enables users to build a level of security into their application. For example, a company can have one portion of the tag's memory programmed with a factory-locked number, such as a manufacturer's ID code, while some of the other data sections can be freely used to record status, maintenance, or location updates over the life of an asset. Security can be imposed with a password that allows data updates only by authorized parties.

The 24 mm LF Circular Inlay is available with 80 bits of read/write memory or 64 bits of read only memory. The inlay is ISO/IEC 11785 compliant and can be easily encapsulated into a variety of materials and form factors. The inlays undergo complete inline parametric and functional testing to provide optimum off-the-reel yield. Both products are compatible with TI's reader portfolio. TI's HDX tag-reader combination offers the most optimized performance in addition to ease of installation and use.

TI's 134.2 kHz LF product family includes more than 40 transponder, inlay, antenna and reader products incorporating 20 years of the company's RFID design and manufacturing experience. For more information, visit http://www.ti.com/lowfrequency.

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

NEW BRITAIN, Conn., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Hartford County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along Newington and New Britain Avenues, East Main Street, and Route 9 in New Britain and Newington, Connecticut, as well as the surrounding area.

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

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

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

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

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Digimarc Board Approves $310 Million All-Cash Offer from L-1 Identity Solutions for Digimarc's ID Systems BusinessDigimarc Unanimously Approves Offer from L-1 and Terminates Discussions with Safran

STAMFORD, Conn., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- L-1 Identity Solutions ("L-1") , a leading provider of identity solutions and services, today announced that L-1 has signed an amended definitive merger agreement with Digimarc Corporation ("Digimarc") . The proposed transaction values the ID Systems Business of Digimarc at $310 million and offers Digimarc's stockholders increased consideration and certainty of value within a short time frame through the commencement of a tender offer by July 2, 2008. L-1 will finance the transaction through proceeds of a committed credit facility and private equity investments, including an investment by Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of L-1 Identity Solutions.

The Digimarc Board of Directors unanimously supports the new offer from L-1 and is recommending that its stockholders tender into the offer. The Company has terminated discussions with Safran regarding their non-binding expression of interest in acquiring the ID Systems Business.

As previously announced on June 23, 2008, the Federal Trade Commission has granted early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino ("HSR") antitrust review process. Early termination of the HSR review removed a key closing condition to the proposed acquisition. Consummation of the transaction now requires only the completion of the tender offer, the spin-off of the digital watermarking business along with the company's cash, and other customary closing conditions.

"We believe that our all-cash offer is superior to the conditional, non- binding proposal from Safran SA and is a strong reflection of the intrinsic value of the business, its growth opportunities, and the synergies unique to the combination with L-1. The addition of Digimarc's ID Systems to L-1 would create an industry leader in secure credentials, biometric and authentication technologies and services," said Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman and CEO of L-1. "We believe that our offer is in the best interests of customers, U.S. citizens, and Digimarc employees and stockholders by offering them significant value and an expeditious closing of the transaction. As a Paris-based company with significant ownership by the French government, Safran's proposal would be subject to approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"). This process can be lengthy and approval cannot be assured."

Following the closing of the transaction, on a pro-forma calendar 2008 basis, L-1 expects to have revenue of approximately $670 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $110 million including operational efficiencies, unlevered free cash flow of $75 million and a backlog of approximately $1 billion. L-1 expects to recognize synergies and additional operating efficiencies once the businesses are combined. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2008 and be accretive to L-1 earnings.

"I believe the transaction with L-1 is the right choice for Digimarc's ID Systems Business, our stockholders, employees and customers. The combination of L-1's leading biometric recognition and authentication capabilities with our centralized credential production process will enable us to better serve our national and international customers with a superior products and services," said Bruce Davis, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Digimarc. "Furthermore, our combined presence and knowledge of international markets will enhance our customer reach through an expanded portfolio of innovative credentialing solutions, including national ID cards."

L-1 believes that the combination of L-1 and Digimarc's Secure ID business will bring significant synergies and benefits to the identity management industry. The company's customers will have a choice of secure credentialing production systems, including central issuance, over-the-counter, and hybrid approaches that utilizes both methods. The combined security feature portfolios of the companies will deliver best-in-class protection to produce the most secure credentials possible. The industry knowledge of the combined teams will foster development of superior next-generation security functionality for future applications. The increase in industry knowledge and cross-border relationships will help secure identities across the globe in emerging markets such as Russia and Asia-Pacific, as well as with Canadian and Mexican biometric credentialing programs. Leveraged synergies between the businesses will reduce the cost structures of both organizations to drive greater operational efficiency and shareholder value. These benefits also will be passed directly to the customer for improved customer service from the combined call center and field service teams, bolstered competency of the entire organization from acquired back office systems and processes, and valuable savings with more competitive pricing from economies of scale.

Under the terms of the amended merger agreement, the tender offer is expected to commence on July 2, 2008, but no later than July 7, 2008 and remain open for 20 business days. The spin-off of the digital watermarking business will occur prior to the expiration date of the tender offer.

About L-1 Identity Solutions

L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. , together with its portfolio of companies, offers a comprehensive set of products and solutions for protecting and securing personal identities and assets. Leveraging the industry's most advanced multi-modal biometric platform for finger, face and iris recognition, our solutions provide a circle of trust around all aspects of an identity and the credentials assigned to it -- including proofing, enrollment, issuance and usage. With the trust and confidence in individual identities provided by L-1 Identity Solutions, government entities, law enforcement and border management agencies, and commercial enterprises can better guard the public against global terrorism, crime and identity theft fostered by fraudulent identity. L-1 Identity Solutions is headquartered in Stamford, CT. For more information, visit http://www.l1id.com/

Adjusted EBITDA

L-1 uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income (loss) interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments of long term assets and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to help investors analyze the operating trends of the business before and after the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and to assess the relative underlying performance of businesses with different capital and tax structures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing L-1's financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation, impairments of long term assets as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate the company's operations and can compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies in the industry. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions, establish internal budgets and goals, and evaluate performance of its business units and management.

L-1 considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the company's operational strength and performance of its business and a useful measure of the company's historical and prospective operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes interest income and expense and income taxes, all of which impact the company's profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization and impairments related to the use of long term assets which benefit multiple periods. L-1 believes that these limitations are compensated by clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow

Unlevered Free Cash Flow represents cash flow from operating activities, plus cash interest expense and cash income taxes, less interest income, and capital expenditures. L-1 believes unlevered free cash flow is a useful measure for assessing the company's liquidity, meeting its debt service requirements and making acquisitions. Unlevered free cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similar measures used by other entities and is not a substitute for GAAP measures of liquidity such as cash flows from operating activities.

ID-L Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this press release and those made from time to time by L-1 through its senior management are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect the company's current expectations based on management's beliefs and assumptions and information currently available and actual results could differ materially from these expectations. Certain factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among other things, the consideration by Digimarc of the competing proposal as described in this press release, the ability of L-1 and Digimarc to complete the spin-off of the digital watermarking business and to satisfy other conditions in order to successfully close the acquisition on a timely basis, the availability of financing necessary to complete the acquisition, availability of government funding for the Company's products and solutions, general economic and political conditions and the unpredictable nature of working with government agencies. Additional risks and uncertainties are described in the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings of L-1, including the company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. L-1 expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Additional Information

The tender offer to which this press release pertains has not commenced. The information contained herein is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Digimarc. At the time the tender offer is commenced, Dolomite Acquisition Co. and L-1 intend to file a Tender Offer Statement on schedule TO containing an offer to purchase, forms of letters of transmittal and other documents relating to the tender offer and Digimarc intends to file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the tender offer. L-1 and Digimarc intend to mail these documents to the stockholders of Digimarc. These documents will contain important information about the tender offer and stockholders of Digimarc are urged to read them carefully when they become available. Stockholders of Digimarc will be able to obtain a free copy of these documents (when they become available) at http://www.l1id.com/ and http://www.digimarc.com/ and the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov/.

Government executives encourage agencies to document enterprise-wide IT strategies in advance of new 2009 administrationStock Market Symbols GIB.A (TSX) GIB (NYSE)CGI-GMU Initiative for Collaborative Government Event Highlights Key Factors for Maximizing Mission Value from Enterprise-wide IT

FAIRFAX, VA, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a recent meeting sponsored by the CGI-GMU Initiative for Collaborative Government, a joint public policy initiative by CGI (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB) and George Mason University, senior executives from across the federal government and industry leaders outlined the success factors for the consolidation of IT services and encouraged other federal leaders to act now to document their enterprise-wide IT management strategy in advance of the next Administration.

To kick-off the meeting, featured guest speaker John Kost, Group Vice-President, Gartner CIO Research Worldwide, presented a "Checklist for Success" for IT consolidation that emphasized the importance of active governance and leadership engagement, as well as the need to define a clear motive, scope and end vision for enterprise-wide IT initiatives. Following Mr. Kost, Molly O'Neil, Chief Information Officer, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Henry Chao, Chief Technical Officer, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, shared approaches that their agencies have taken to successfully optimize agency-wide use of IT in support of mission activities.

Government executives at the CGI-GMU seminar stressed the importance of documenting agencies' enterprise-wide IT strategies in advance of January 2009. They recommended focusing IT strategies on defining the mission results to be achieved, with IT investments described in the context of how they support the mission outcome. The federal executives also highlighted the need to educate leaders throughout the agency on the benefits of managing IT across the agency, and how business decisions can affect the IT infrastructure.

"Every consolidation decision impacts the technology infrastructure, and without education of senior management, you won't get to where you need to be when you try to consolidate the agency's IT infrastructure," said EPA's O'Neil. "You need to have direct, honest explanations to promote understanding and trust." Chao added that it is important to determine the exact processes that are being consolidated and determine the end result desired before starting to reduce the IT infrastructure.

About the CGI-GMU Initiative for Collaborative Government

Created in January of 2008 by CGI Federal and George Mason University, the mission of the CGI-GMU Initiative for Collaborative Government is to analyze models of collaboration between government and the private and non-profit sectors, and how the government can best leverage these models to maximize mission results.

Consumers Name Crime, While First Responders Rank Natural Disasters as Top Safety MatterAs 2008 hurricane season begins, new survey results compare consumers' and first responders' safety priorities; both say future technology is critical

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. today released survey findings (http://www.motorola.com/business/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=6ab65930db29a110VgnVCM 1000008406b00aRCRD) that reveal consumers rank crime as their top safety concern. Results of an APCO-Motorola survey (http://www.motorola.com/business/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=244d4facb24c9110VgnVCM 1000008406b00aRCRD&vgnextchannel=216b4facb24c9110VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD&appI nstanceName=default) conducted earlier this year found that first responders named natural disasters as their highest priority. Regardless of the emergency, both groups agree that investments in technology are vital to protect officers and the public they serve.

Marking the beginning of the 2008 hurricane season and National Safety Month, Motorola's new consumer survey (https://www.motorola.com/governmentandenterprise/NorthAmerica/en- US/Public/Functions/microsite/micrositepromo.aspx?site=en_US/microsites/Future techConsumerForm&cwrap=N&WT.mc_id=FromSurveyLinkonPage), which polled approximately 1,000 consumers nationwide, uncovered the public's top safety priorities for their local communities. In the earlier first responder survey, Motorola teamed with the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) to poll 200 local firefighters, police officers, EMTs and county officials to determine their needs and concerns.

Overall, an analysis of the two surveys revealed that consumers and first responders have different concerns. For example, consumers selected crime and drugs (59 percent) which are immediate in nature and perhaps more frequent as opposed to less frequent events like natural disasters (19 percent). Conversely, first responders picked natural disasters like hurricanes, fires and floods (65 percent) as their top threat.

"During Hurricane Katrina, our communications systems became submerged in water and we were left unable to communicate with other counties to coordinate vital rescue and safety efforts," said Ronnie Cuevas, undersheriff, Hancock County, MS Sheriff's Department. "When a disaster strikes, communication is critical. Today, we've taken measures to ensure we have the technology we need, like a Project 25 digital communications system, so all of our agencies can talk to each other and we can also communicate with other counties to effectively coordinate evacuation, rescue and safety efforts."

Both consumers and first responders felt technology was essential to protect the public during everyday emergencies and natural disasters. In fact 92 percent of consumers believed that investments in new technology were important, with 69 percent ranking it as extremely or very important.

"We are committed to investing in new technologies that are innovative, intuitive and interoperable so that first responders are armed with the tools they need to save lives," said Bob Schassler, corporate vice president, Motorola Radio Products and Solutions Group, Government and Commercial Markets - Americas. "From withstanding harsh weather, fires and floods to improving response times to crimes, we work closely with first responders to develop new solutions."

Yet, only one in five consumers felt that their communities were well funded to purchase these advanced technologies. Similarly, in the Motorola/APCO survey, first responders pinpointed new technology as essential to help them do their jobs.

"Improving communications and providing critical information to emergency responders helps save lives regardless of the emergency," said Richard Mirgon, First Vice President of APCO.

"Plano has made a significant commitment to utilizing technology that helps our first responders better protect our community," said David Stephens, director, Technology Services, City of Plano, TX. "Through the use of our citywide mesh network, our public safety personnel are able to communicate and coordinate incident management better. By extending many IP-based applications into the field, they are able to make better, informed decisions by having more diverse information available at the scene."

The survey also found that consumer confidence in first responders' ability to coordinate and get help from colleagues ranked high. Nearly all consumers (85 percent) surveyed felt their communities were equipped to obtain/coordinate help from other first responders such as Federal agencies, state officials or other counties. In addition, consumers believed their community was prepared to efficiently warn residents to evacuate in the event of a natural disaster with 43 percent ranking their communities as extremely or very prepared to do so.

"Neighboring York and James City counties both had significant gaps in their communications capabilities and decided to build a state-of-the art regional communication system to better coordinate both day-to-day operability as well as interoperability with surrounding governments," said Terry Hall, emergency communications, York County, VA. "In just two years, the interoperable digital technology has been tested and proven time and again. When a fast-moving storm knocked out James City County's 9-1-1 communication center, calls were immediately re-routed to York County and during Queen Elizabeth's 2007 visit, county interoperability helped with federal, state and local governments to secure the area."

Not surprisingly consumers' opinions varied regionally as well. In the Northeast, more people (15 percent) worried about terrorist attacks versus those living in the Midwest, South and West regions combined (7 percent). Consumers in the South and West (22 percent) were more concerned with natural disasters like fires or hurricanes. In addition, southerners are more confident in their communities' ability to warn residents in the event of an evacuation and are more likely to feel that their public safety officials will be able to connect them to loved ones in an emergency situation. This may be a result of evacuation signs, shelters and other procedures that coastal states have employed to help facilitate evacuation.

About the Consumer Survey

Between April 18, 2008 and April 21, 2008, Opinion Research Corporation (hired by Motorola) conducted interviews of 1,009 consumers 18 years of age or older in the continental United States. The sample was comprised of 504 men and 505 women. The sampling error is plus/minus two to three percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.

About the First Responder Survey

Between November 2 and December 4, 2007, the professional interviewing service, Western Wats, conducted a quantitative survey with 200 public safety officials, sampled from the top 100 MSAs. The sample includes both those responsible for overseeing first responders, and those responsible for managing purchases of technology used by first responders. The survey was conducted through telephone interviews, averaging 20 minutes in length. The sampling error for the survey results reported is plus or minus seven percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

AT&T Answers the Need for Speed in Charleston and HuntingtonCompany Delivers Supercharged Wireless Access to Mobile Applications and Interactive Content in West Virginia

CHARLESTON/HUNTINGTON, W.Va., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Watch video on the go. Surf the wireless Internet at DSL-like speeds. Share live video during a wireless call. AT&T today announced the launch of third generation (3G) mobile broadband network in Charleston and Huntington -- opening the door to a new era of interactive wireless voice, video and data applications and selection of new devices including the new 3G iPhone being launched on July 11.

"I am pleased that West Virginia consumers will have access to mobile broadband and video services," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller. "AT&T's investment will benefit consumers, businesses, and make our state an even more attractive place to do business. The future of communications is being delivered in a wireless world, and West Virginians will have access to the leading-edge technology."

With the addition of 3G technology to more than 90 cell sites in the Charleston area, AT&T's fastest wireless data network is now available in South Charleston, Spring Hill, Institute, Nitro, Saint Albans, Tyler Heights, Cross Lanes, Scott Depot, Teays Valley, Hurricane, Culloden, Yeager Airport and Logan. The 3G network can also be accessed along 1-77 in Pocatalico, Ripley and Ravenswood. In the Huntington area, the network has been launched in Barboursville, Kenova, South Point, Ohio; Ironton, Ohio, Askland, Kentucky; Cannonsburg, Kentucky; Grayson, Kentucky; and Olive Hill, Kentucky. Consumers can also enjoy 3G coverage along I-64, Routes 23, 54 and 60 as well as at the Tri State airport.

"We are committed to delivering a top notch wireless experience every time our customers make a phone call, read an e-mail or surf the Internet on our network," said J. Michael Schweder, President, AT&T Mid-Atlantic Region. "This year AT&T plans to spend nearly $30 million in West Virginia to enhance network coverage, capacity and deploy the 3G network. Since 2005, AT&T's planned investment in the state has exceeded more than $70 million."

Benefits of the AT&T 3G Network

AT&T's 3G network provides the simultaneous delivery of voice and data -- a capability not offered by all wireless providers. With a compatible 3G device, consumers connect to razor-sharp clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service, and can quickly download games, pictures and the latest music, entertainment, news and weather through MEdia(TM) Net, the company's mobile Internet portal. The 3G network can also allow customers to take advantage of groundbreaking services such as AT&T Video Share which allows users to share live video over wireless phones while carrying on a voice call. Road warriors can use their device as a wireless modem for their laptop and dial into a conference call at the same time.

"Charleston and Huntington are major business hubs with tech-savvy consumers who want broadband wireless connections to live video, web browsing and e-mail," said Erika K. Thompson, vice president and general manager for AT&T's wireless unit in West Virginia and Virginia. "AT&T's LaptopConnect helps mobile business users be more productive with quick access to large files or corporate applications. All that's required is a LaptopConnect card or a laptop with embedded 3G service, software and an AT&T data plan."

AT&T uses HSPA/UMTS (High Speed Packet Access/Universal Mobile Telephone System) technology, which is based on the world standard GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications).

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

With the new addition of HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) technology, AT&T customers can enjoy uplink speeds between 500 Kbps and 1.4 Mbps. The new upload speeds complement AT&T's 3G download capabilities, which currently offer up to 1.7 Mbps across all markets for customers who have capable devices, such as AT&T's LaptopConnect wireless modems.

Equally as important as the network is the device through which a customer experiences it. AT&T's handset portfolio in company-owned stores is more than 75 percent 3G-capable -- and will be even more enticing with a fresh selection of 3G-enabled smartphones in the summer and fall of 2008. AT&T's 3G devices are available at eight company-owned wireless retail locations in Charleston, Huntington, Scott Depot, Barboursville, Ashland, Kentucky; several national retailers including Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Sam's Club.

AT&T's 3G network is now available in 280 U.S. major metropolitan areas. The company will deliver 3G service to nearly 350 leading U.S. markets by the end of 2008.

Customers who use a GSM phone, such as those offered by AT&T, can take their device and browse the Web and perform other data functions in more than 145 countries. They can make a wireless phone call in 200 countries and territories or on 75 cruise ships worldwide.

Pearson Announces Partnership With Aspirations UnlimitedPearson Exclusive Publisher of My Voice Survey Products

SAN ANTONIO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Educational Assessment group of Pearson today announced a partnership with Aspirations Unlimited and its founder, Dr. Russell Quaglia, also the founder of the Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations, to become the exclusive publisher of the popular My Voice Surveys and related products.

The My Voice Surveys assist students, educators and parents in discovering how a student perceives the school environment, what motivates and inspires the student to achieve, and how well the student believes the school is meeting those objectives through relationships and engaged learning. Survey results provide insight for adopting, implementing and sustaining positive changes to create an optimum teaching and learning environment.

The My Voice Survey has been given to hundreds of thousands of students and is supported by decades of research conducted by Dr. Quaglia and the Institute. The Survey is offered to students in grades 3-12, parents and teachers and is based on the Quaglia Institute's 8 Conditions That Make A Difference(R) in student aspirations. These conditions emphasize students' self-worth, active engagement, and sense of purpose.

"When students have high aspirations, they have the ability to dream about the future, while being inspired in the present to reach those dreams," said Dr. Quaglia. "Whether the goal is to learn trigonometry or a trade, get good grades or go to college, students want to be successful. Too often, however, students don't reach their goals and fullest potential because the conditions that inspire and support them are not in place."

My Voice consists of a short survey, lasting less than 15 minutes, of students, staff and parents to determine the perceived school environment. The survey results provide meaningful data and valuable insights to educators and helps reveal the connections and disconnections among educators, students and parents. In addition, accompanying Resource Guides provide plans and activities to improve the school environment and student aspirations.

"We are delighted to be the exclusive publisher of the My Voice Survey," said Deloris Flint, Director, Educational Assessment group, Pearson. "This is a powerful tool for helping teachers and administrators gain a better understanding of how students, parents and other teachers and administrators perceive their school and learning environment."

Additional information about My Voice can be found at http://www.myvoicesurvey.com/.

Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Second Edition Now Available From Pearson in Online FormatOnline Assessment Allows for Automated Capture, Real-Time Scoring, Reporting and Analysis

SAN ANTONIO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pearson today announced the availability of an online version of the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, Second Edition (NNAT2), an assessment of student ability that yields a norm- based score that can be used to identify gifted students who are likely to have the potential for advanced scholastic achievement.

The online format of the assessment allows for automated capture, real- time scoring and reporting. The online format is also more convenient for school administrators and instructors, who do not need to store, distribute, organize and ship test booklets.

The NNAT2 is appropriate for students in grades K-12. The test measures general ability using diagrams to allow for a culturally neutral evaluation regardless of the individual student's primary language, education, culture, or socioeconomic background. The NNAT2 has been empirically validated for assessment and identification of gifted minority children and been shown to be free from race and gender bias.

Online items of the NNAT2 are presented one item per screen, facilitating a student's focus on the task. The online format calls for minimal computer- system requirements and provides online system-check tools, and automated analysis of the readiness of the computer that will be used. NNAT2 employs a secure browser to ensure that students cannot access other web sites or applications during test delivery.

Administration of the online version, like the paper-and-pencil NNAT2, takes 30 minutes and is specifically developed for use by a variety of education professionals, including bilingual educators, testing coordinators, gifted and talented teachers, special education teachers, functional life skills facilitators, counselors and school psychologists.

The online test gives the user the flexibility of automated capture, real- time scoring and analysis, without having to store and distribute paper booklets. For the right user, this will dramatically help save time and resources in administrating the NNAT2.

The NNAT2 is authored by Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D., who has been an expert in assessment for more than two decades and is a professor of psychology at George Mason University. He is the author of more than 250 publications, including scholarly articles, books, tests, rating scales, and computer software solutions. He is also the co-author of the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (Wechsler & Naglieri, 2006). In 1985, Dr. Naglieri published his first nonverbal test, the Matrix Analogies Test, which was renamed the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT) in 1997 and is now the NNAT2.

Pearson Introduces New, Individually State-Aligned Item Banks for Benchmarking and Summative Assessments for High School CoursesEnd of Course Array(TM) Now Available for Arkansas, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia

SAN ANTONIO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Leading publisher Pearson today introduced benchmarking and summative assessment item banks for high school courses aligned to standards for five states. The new End of Course Array(TM) Editions for Arkansas, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia give educators an assessment solution for tracking student performance in specific high school courses with content specifically aligned to each state's learning standards.

These state editions follow release last fall of the National Consensus Standards for high school courses algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, biology and chemistry.

"Research shows that students who are held accountable through end-of- course testing not only have improved test scores, but place one-half of a grade level ahead in math and science," said Deloris Flint, Director, Educational Assessment group, Pearson. "Using EOC Array(TM), teachers generate the data necessary to truly drive instruction and maximize student learning, ultimately leading to greater success on their state's respective end-of- course exams."

Since districts' needs and usage vary, the EOC Array(TM) test item banks were designed to be comprehensive and flexible. The items included with the state editions of EOC Array(TM) are aligned to each state's standards, ensuring that the content is relevant to that state's classrooms. Within each course the items address the breadth and depth of each standard to help ensure a student becomes proficient in that standard. To provide teachers and administrators with additional flexibility, tests are easily created online. Tests may be created at the classroom, school or district levels, allowing districts to share tests across schools if desired. With the ability to share tests across schools, districts may customize their tests to match their specific needs and pacing guides.

Specific courses for each state are as follows:

-- Arkansas -- items for courses in algebra 1 and biology, aligned with the Arkansas Curriculum Framework, for use in the Arkansas End-of-Course Exams.

-- Maryland -- items for algebra 1 and biology, aligned with Maryland's Core Learning Goals, for use with the Maryland High School Assessment.

-- North Carolina -- items for algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, biology and chemistry, aligned with the North Carolina Course of Study, for use with North Carolina End-of-Course tests.

-- South Carolina -- items for algebra 1, aligned with the South Carolina Course Standards, for use with the South Carolina End-of-Course Examinations.

-- Virginia -- items for algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, biology and chemistry, aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning, for use with the Virginia SOL End-of-Course testing.

The large number of quality items available for each course provides teachers and administrators with many options for using EOC Array(TM). Districts, schools and/or teachers can create a comprehensive assessment plan for their courses by using the items to create benchmark assessments and a summative end of course exam. Items not used for these exams may then be integrated into everyday instruction to help teachers continuously monitor student achievement and make informed instructional decisions to maximize student learning.

The new EOC Array(TM) state editions include the following features:

-- Assessments available for online administration and print-on-demand from the software platform for paper/pencil testing.

-- Immediate scoring online or scanning functionality for paper/pencil tests.

-- Keyboard entry of answer choices available.

-- Integration with iRespond wireless handheld personal response devices provides real-time data for students and teachers.

-- A flexible item bank of 900-1,400 items available for each course.

-- Item banking flexibility allowing test forms to be created at the district, school or classroom level.

-- Extensive reporting capabilities in PDF and dynamic online formats at the student, class, school and district levels -- including: Gain and Standard Analysis, Multi-Measures, Item Analysis, Proficiency, Grouping and Lists Reporting.

-- Multiple choice and constructed response items.

Using high-quality, reliable items aligned to state learning standards and national consensus standards, EOC Array(TM) enables educators to evaluate student mastery of subjects and measure student achievement with more accuracy.
