Stinger Reveals Invention of Medical Monitoring Circuit for Its S-200 Projectile Stun Guns

TAMPA, Fla., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stinger Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: STIY) , the leader in electro-stun technology, today announced today that pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a) it has been required to disclose the invention of a medical monitoring circuit for Stinger's S-200 Projectile Stun Gun to Taser International, Inc. in Taser International, Inc. v. Stinger Systems, Inc., that is federal district court case CV07-0042-PHX-MHM. While it has been so legally required to reveal this breakthrough circuit invention to a competitor, Stinger Systems, Inc. announced further that the actual specifications for the circuit disclosed are protected against use or disclosure by Taser International, Inc. by a stringent protective order issued by the court and that a patent application is pending for the technology. Stinger Systems, Inc. also claims the Tru-Data (TM), Tru-Record (TM) and Tru-Strike(TM) trademarks for the circuit.

The smart circuit is designed to automatically activate when police shock a violent suspect with the S-200 stun gun to monitor, record and calculate physiological data from the suspect during the shock. If a physiological hazard presents, the smart circuit will automatically reduce or terminate the disabling shock.

Stinger Systems, Inc., has seen increased demand for its products through the last and current quarters, has recently made a number of inventive technical breakthroughs intended to enhance the safety of projectile stun guns and officer accountability for their use. In addition to the Tru-Data (TM), Tru-Record(TM) and Tru-Strike(TM) technologies, these breakthroughs include the company's Tru-Pulse and Tru-Vu technologies.

Ron Bellistri, retired from the NYPD, Organized Crime Control Bureau and currently Stinger's CEO, commented for the Company, "This is, yet, another in a string of Stinger's breakthrough inventions intended to enhance the safe use of projectile stun guns. As stated above, though Stinger Systems, Inc. is legally required to disclose the new medical monitoring technology to Taser International, Inc., Taser International, Inc. is not privileged to use or disclose the details of this breakthrough safety invention. Taser International, Inc.'s X-26 stun gun continues to have no capacity to even sense a shock, let alone to moderate the shocking if a physiological hazard presents. The X-26 circuitry records when its shock circuit is energized, whether it is actually shocking a suspect or not. This provides no safety benefit against a possible electrocution. Moreover, this recorded information is of only limited value to the company, an officer or city in the event of a later lawsuit and may actually damage their trial position. Taser International, Inc.'s M-26 and X-26 Tasers continue to be unable to distinguish between an officer's activating their shock circuits to encourage a suspect's surrender with an intimidation display or the officer's actually activating the Taser to subdue the suspect with a shock. Certainly, neither the X-26 nor the M-26 can moderate the shocking current to prevent an electrocution if a physiological hazard presents when a suspect is being shocked. Only Stinger System's, Inc. owns such technology. Stinger Systems Inc. remains the only company on earth that has this amazing smart technology."

Stinger Systems, Inc., a leading provider of electro-stun technologies, develops and sells a broad array of products utilizing advanced electro sparc-pulsed technology to police, corrections, and security sectors worldwide. http://www.stingersystems.com/ .

California Micro Devices Introduces Praetorian(R) III LC Filter Architecture for Mobile HandsetsOffers Superior EMI Filtering for High Speed Data Interfaces with Cost Reduced Architecture

MILPITAS, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices today announced its third generation Praetorian III LC filter architecture for mobile handsets. Setting a new benchmark for filter performance, Praetorian III products offer higher performance than Praetorian I products, at lower cost equivalent to the recently introduced Praetorian II family of products. Based on an innovative coupled inductor design, CMD's Praetorian III architecture features filters with higher levels of inductance and lower levels of capacitance. This results in filter designs that offer greater levels of attenuation together with superior signal integrity compared to competing products.

Growth of High Bandwidth Data Interfaces

Products based on the Praetorian III architecture address the most challenging EMI filter and ESD protection requirements found in today's advanced handset designs including high resolution color LCD displays, camera imagers and removable memory interfaces. "Increased consumer demand for feature phones and smart phones is expected to drive handset volume growth in the coming years," commented Tina Teng, analyst, wireless communications for iSuppli Corporation. "iSuppli forecasts unit volume growth for these combined categories to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 9.3% from 2008 through 2011 versus 6.0% for the entire handset market. Products that address the application needs of high resolution displays and imager and high density removable memory stand to benefit from the expected increase in demand."

Praetorian III Architecture

The Praetorian III architecture utilizes a six pole pi-filter topology and features high cutoff frequencies, high levels of attenuation and robust ESD protection up to 15kV contact discharge consistent with the IEC 61000-4-2 level 2 standard. Taking advantage of higher value inductors in the available chip area, it allows the use of smaller value capacitors resulting in a filter design with input capacitance as low as 10pF, significantly enhancing signal integrity. The coupled inductor's compact size also allows the design of filters that can fit into small form factor 0.4mm pitch uDFN and chip scale packages (CSP).

"With the growth in high bandwidth data applications, finding a filtering solution with low channel capacitance has become an important concern to handset design engineers worried about maintaining signal integrity," stated Kyle Baker, CMD's vice president of marketing. "Praetorian III products offer an ideal solution for these applications, offering industry leading performance at new, lower price points," he continued. New products based upon the Praetorian III architecture will sample in the third quarter.

About California Micro Devices

California Micro Devices Corporation is a leading supplier of application specific analog and mixed signal semiconductor products for the mobile handset, digital consumer electronics and personal computer markets. Key products include protection devices for mobile handsets, digital consumer electronics products such as digital TVs, and personal computers as well as analog and mixed signal ICs for mobile handset displays.

MedeFile Launches 'COP Initiative' to Provide Nation's Law Enforcement Agencies With Funding for Policing Technologies

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedeFile International, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: MDFI) , a company specializing in portable electronic medical records management solutions, today announced the launch of its new Community Outreach Program ("COP Initiative") created to impact the quality of healthcare on a community-wide basis, while giving local emergency medical first responders the information they require to help make life-saving treatment decisions. Moreover, through the COP Initiative, MedeFile hopes to play a meaningful role in aiding local law enforcement agencies nationwide offset critical budgetary shortfalls caused by Federal and State funding cuts.

Specifically, MedeFile is actively collaborating with local law enforcement agencies and community leaders to:

- Empower local community citizens with personal control, peace of mind and unprecedented convenience when managing their personal medical records through enrollment in the MedeFile-sponsored 'Community Outreach Program ("COP Initiative");

- Provide local law enforcement with a new source of funding for use in purchasing advanced police technologies, including digital in-car video recording systems, servers, advanced lethal and non-lethal self defense weapons, digital finger-printing machines, mobile digital terminals (MDTs), Kevlar bulletproof vests, patrol cars, K-9 units, etc.;

- Provide local first responders with potentially life-saving information for citizens requiring emergency health care, and are otherwise unable to communicate; and

- Promote enhanced convenience, access and standardization of medical records for area healthcare providers and practice administrators.

"MedeFile is very proud to launch the COP Initiative -- a truly innovative program created to reach an even broader audience of potential MedeFile members, while also providing the means to help local law enforcement purchase the policing technologies they require to enhance public safety in the communities they serve.

On Thursday, June 19, 2008, MedeFile officials hosted its first enrollment day related to the COP Initiative at the Lady Lake Police Department, located in Lake County, Florida. Over the next several months, the Company will be hosting a series of enrollment events in Lady Lake and in The Villages, one of the nation's largest retirement communities, to benefit area residents and the Lady Lake Police Department.

MedeFile's flagship product is the MedeFile system, a highly secure system designed to gather all of its members' actual medical records and create a single, comprehensive medical record that is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any desktop or laptop computer or hand-held web-enabled computing device. MedeFile enjoys a number of direct, competitive advantages over others in the medical records marketplace:

- MedeFile is the only company that has developed products and services geared to the patient, while containing the depth and breadth of information required by treating physicians and medical personnel.

- MedeFile does all the work of collecting and updating medical information on an ongoing basis; its dependence on the patient taking action is minimal -- particularly when compared to patient action required to support competing solutions.

- MedeFile provides a complete medical record. Other companies claim complete longitudinal records, but in reality only provide histories (usually completed by the member/patient), and are by no means complete or necessarily accurate records.

- MedeFile is the only company providing a coherent mix of services and products that are intended to affect the quality of healthcare by enabling the patient to manage and access the information normally retained by doctors and other care providers.

In coordination with participating departments, local municipal authorities and community leaders, MedeFile will host and support educational seminars at predetermined local public venues (community center; public library; area church; et al) on electronic medical record management, at which on-site enrollment will be available. Promotional activities to support each event will include direct mail flyers to local residents; postings on community bulletin boards and in community newsletters (if applicable); and select radio programming. In addition, MedeFile will donate up to two (2) computers to the local Public Library (or other public venue providing community residents with free access to the computers).

For every newly enrolled MedeFile Premium and MedeFile Basic member residing in a participating agency's jurisdiction, MedeFile will donate a percentage of the membership fees to that law enforcement agency.

To receive information on how your community or local law enforcement agency may participate in the COP Initiative, please contact Kevin Hauser, VP of Business Development at 561-833-3385, extension 100; or John Morrison, Director of Elite Media Group at 407-585-1080.

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.

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.

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.

Video: New 21st Century Digital Learning Environment Personalizes Math and Reading Instruction for Young LearnersPearson's SuccessMaker Combines Research-Based Lessons With Engaging Animations to Meet All Students' Needs

SAN ANTONIO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today's digital kids learn, think and play differently. Now with today's launch of the innovative, new SuccessMaker(R), a digital, supplementary, curriculum solution from Pearson, schools can offer young students a learning environment that puts them all on the road to academic success. A highly engaging, animated, research-based program, SuccessMaker is designed to support classroom instruction in reading and mathematics.

To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/pearsoned/33723/

Premiering this week at the 2008 National Educational Computing Conference, the nation's largest ed-tech conference, SuccessMaker was developed by leading experts in literacy and mathematics education. Used in conjunction with a school's core reading or math program, it provides schools with a 21st century approach toward learning that accommodates learners with a wide range of needs, including students with learning disabilities, gifted students, at-risk students and English language learners. SuccessMaker's unique instructional design takes individualized learning to the next level, putting students on the learning track that best meets their individual needs -- rather than a "one size fits all" approach.

"Today's young learners were born into a world where digital resources have always been at their fingertips, and it has changed the way they think, learn, play and socialize," said Karl Gustafson, Pearson senior vice president. "We developed this ground-breaking new digital curriculum solution so schools can offer students an instructional environment that accommodates their 21st century learning styles and helps every child be a successful learner."

While many educators are familiar with SuccessMaker Enterprise, the new SuccessMaker is the next generation of standards-based, digital supplemental instruction. All SuccessMaker instructional content is aligned with state standards, allowing teachers to assign lessons based on learning objectives in the core curriculum.

SuccessMaker offers a Lexile(R)-leveled reading curriculum that reflects the five strands for reading instruction -- phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and text comprehension -- outlined by the National Reading Panel. Lexiles provide a common scale for matching reader ability and text difficulty and are the most widely adopted reading measure in use today.

The mathematics lessons in SuccessMaker incorporate practice tutorials and assessments based on the best practices for math instruction outlined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Building on its more than 80 years of experience in assessment, Pearson developed assessments for SuccessMaker that are based on the most current, proven instructional strategies that provide support for all learners.

At Arizona's Sun Canyon Elementary School, teachers, administrators and students are all focused on success. Participation in a pilot of the new SuccessMaker provided them with an important tool for ensuring that all students achieve.

"One group of lower level readers moved up an entire level after just one semester with SuccessMaker," said Alyce Layden, first grade teacher. "And one girl even jumped five or six months in reading ability."

Best of all for young learners, SuccessMaker is filled with digital characters who engage and motivate them to learn. As one young learner from Sun Canyon put it, "It was like watching cartoons and learning at the same time."

SuccessMaker's engaging, digital environment is carried over to the reports and progress-monitoring tools for teachers and administrators. The Learning Management System allows teachers to make individualized assignments and combines up-to-the-minute classroom information with on-demand reports that allow teachers and administrators to track progress by student, class, school or district. The visual dashboard is color-coded, making it easier and faster for educators to make informed instructional decisions.

"SuccessMaker aligns with our Arizona state standards," said Colleen Grove Rodgers, principal, Sun Canyon Elementary. "Teachers can look at reports and target concepts and performance objectives. They can really track how students are doing on the Arizona state standards with the SuccessMaker reports."

Network-1 Announces Special Licensing Program for Early Adopters of Essential IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) TechnologyMicrosemi Agrees to Become First Licensee under the New Program

NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NSSI) today announced the introduction of a new Special Licensing Program for its Remote Power Patent (US Patent No. 6,218,930) entitled, "Apparatus and Method for Remotely Powering Access Equipment Over a 10/100 Switched Ethernet Network". The Remote Power Patent relates to, among other things, several key technologies underlying the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard (the "PoE Standard") that was approved in June 2003 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (the "IEEE").

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 vendors of finished products that comply with the PoE Standard, including equipment defined in the PoE Standard as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and Powered Devices (PD).

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 against several major data networking equipment manufacturers 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. Detailed royalty information is now available for review by qualified vendors of Power over Ethernet equipment. Interested parties should contact Network-1 for such information.

As previously announced, Network-1 recently entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Microsemi Corp-Analog Mixed Signal Group Ltd ("Microsemi") (previously PowerDsine Ltd), a subsidiary of Microsemi Corporation which, among other things, enables Microsemi to assist in its customers evaluation of the Remote Power Patent and the terms being made available to vendors of PoE equipment pursuant to the Special Licensing Program.

The 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.

The Special Licensing Program offers licenses at substantial discounts to Network-1's standard terms. However, at the expiration of the Special Licensing Program, Network-1 will no longer being offering "early adopter" discounted licenses to the Remote Power Patent and will only offer licenses at its standard royalty rates, which are substantially higher than its Special Licensing Program rates.

"It's been our intention to work with the industry to simplify licensing of this critical technology without the cost and distraction of unnecessary litigation", said Corey Horowitz, Network-1 Chairman and CEO. "We have always been committed to an industry wide licensing program that promotes, rather than inhibits, the growth of PoE", continued Mr. Horowitz. "To accommodate the industry, we will continue to offer discounted licenses through December 31. After that, we will only offer licenses on our standard terms and conditions which will be substantially higher as a result of having to aggressively enforce our IP rights for the benefit of our shareholders".

Analysts forecast explosive growth for the PoE market since it is an enabler of reliable, cost effective deployment of next generation IT solutions, including Voice over IP and Wireless LANS. 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.

Forward Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements relating to the company's anticipated plans, products, services, and financial performance. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean the statement is not forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect the company's actual results include its ability to retain and increase its customer base, to respond to competitive threats and real estate market conditions, to manage lead generation and other costs, and to expand into new lines of business. Please refer to the company's 2008 Form 10-QSB and 2007 Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more detailed description of these and other risks that could materially affect actual results.

The forward-looking statements are made as of today's date and the company assumes no obligation to update any such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a complement to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The term "Adjusted EBITDA " refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings or loss before, net interest, gain on sale of fixed assets, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant and useful information to our investors as this measure is an integral part of our internal management reporting and planning process and is the primary measure used by our management to evaluate operating performance.

Harris Corporation's New Mobile TV Platform Chosen by Albavision for Broadcast Operations in Guatemala and Costa RicaStations to be First in Latin America to Broadcast Using New Harris Mobile Solution

MIAMI, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation , an international communications and information technology company, has signed an agreement with Albavision (Angel Gonzalez Group) to implement the recently introduced Harris full mobile digital TV transmission platform for broadcast operations in Guatemala and Costa Rica -- Radio Television Guatemala and REPRETEL in Costa Rica. Albavision will be the first to roll out the new Harris mobile TV platform in Latin America, with plans to implement in other properties throughout the region in later stages.

"Radio Television Guatemala and REPRETEL have existing Harris ATSC transmitter installations and have been broadcasting in the ATSC standard for more than a year," said Juan Pablo Alviz, CTO of Albavision. "Therefore, we are very excited to take the next step and be the first broadcast operation in the Latin American region to broadcast to mobile devices using the new Harris mobile TV platform. The new proposed ATSC standard capability will allow us to integrate our current high-definition infrastructure and the capacity of mobile television without the need to incur a major investment. This is possible by making efficient use of spectrum when combining high-definition content for residences and lower resolution content for mobile units -- both within the same transmission frequency and infrastructure."

The Harris mobile digital TV transmission platform, which is expected to be available in November 2008, is based on the new Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) mobile/handheld solution proposed by LG Electronics, Zenith and Harris Corporation and recently joined by Samsung. It will enable television broadcasters to quickly begin the transition to mobile digital television (DTV). The proposed ATSC mobile/handheld solution is based primarily upon elements of the Mobile-Pedestrian-Handheld (MPH(TM)) technology -- developed by Harris, LG Electronics and Zenith -- as well as Samsung's Advanced Vestigial Sideband (A-VSB) system.

The recent agreement among the developers of the MPH and A-VSB technologies clears the path for electronics manufacturers to begin designing mobile DTV devices, and for local DTV broadcasters to proceed with confidence to build out their new mobile DTV services.

"ATSC adoption is increasing within the CALA region, and Harris is pleased to play a significant role in Albavision's mobile DTV evolution," said Nahuel Villegas, vice president for the Latin America and Caribbean (CALA region), Harris Broadcast Communications. "The proposed solution offers broadcasters such as Albavision a proven, reliable solution for local, mobile TV services. Broadcasters can count on Harris to provide complete mobile DTV transmission solutions that offer new revenue streams through new multimedia content."

Angel Gonzalez, CEO of Albavision said, "We consider this a natural step in the evolution of free and open television. Aside from offering excellent content, our responsibility with advertisers and audiences is also to guarantee the best quality and signal coverage, regardless of the receiving equipment. That is our focus in high-definition digital television, and very soon, with signals in mobile equipment as well. The new ATSC mobility capability allows us to meet both objectives in an efficient and cost-effective way."

Harris Broadcast Communications offers products, systems and services that provide interoperable workflow solutions that span the entire media delivery chain. The Harris ONE(TM) approach brings together highly integrated and cost-effective products that are ideal for emerging media business models and for customers upgrading media operations to digital and high-definition services.

DigitalBridge Communications Deploys the First Mobile WiMAX(TM) Network Using WiMAX Forum(R) Certified(TM) Equipment.BridgeMAXX mobile service is now commercially available in Jackson, Wyoming

ASHBURN, Va., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- DigitalBridge Communications (DBC) announced today that it has launched the first commercially available Mobile WiMAX(TM) network using WiMAX Forum(R) Certified(TM) 802.16e equipment in the U.S. with service in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. DBC's new mobile capability enhances its fixed high-speed wireless Internet service by enabling customers to access data "on the go," as they move throughout Jackson Hole. DBC will continue to expand its mobile service in the Jackson Hole area where its network will reach millions of residents and visitors, and then add mobile capabilities to its nearly three million-population footprint.

Businesses in Jackson with a mobile workforce are using the service today to connect field employees to their company networks, and to create a true mobile office in their vehicles at broadband speeds -- fast enough to allow full-motion video, voice, and data communications from anywhere in the area. Residents are also using the service to stay connected on their laptops all around town, and visitors to the area can use the service to send real-time videos and photos of their trip to friends and family back home. This launch furthers the trend toward making the Internet available whenever and wherever consumers want to access it, all at broadband speeds. The market for such services is expected to double every year through 2012, according to a recent Cisco study.

DBC was the first provider to launch a fixed and portable WiMAX service on WiMAX Forum Certified equipment for consumers in the US. Selling under the BridgeMAXX brand, its new mobility service plan offers 3Mbps download for less than $40 per month. Current BridgeMAXX fixed-service users can add the mobility feature for a bundled price of less than $30 per month.

"DBC is proud to play a leadership role in helping to mobilize the Internet. One of the benefits of the evolving WiMAX ecosystem is that it will support small and medium-sized towns as well as larger cities," said Kelley Dunne, CEO of DBC. "DBC's core mission is to reach communities such as Jackson and connect them to the global economy."

The BridgeMAXX service is plug-and-surf technology that allows customers to set up and begin using a WiMAX high speed Internet connection in a matter of minutes. For most residents, service can be accessed using a small portable modem or a device that connects to their computer. The wireless high-speed Internet service employs licensed radio frequencies to provide service instead of traditional coaxial cable, telephone wires or satellite dishes. WiMAX is a secure, high-speed, long-range wireless Internet technology.

The DBC BridgeMAXX network is powered by Alvarion's 802.16e BreezeMAX(R) 2.5 GHz base station, which incorporates SentieM(TM) technologies in the end-to-end Mobile WiMAX 4Motion(R) solution. Alvarion was one of the first few base station vendors to receive the recent WiMAX Forum certification for meeting the global standard for wireless broadband mobility. This makes Jackson the first community in the US to be able to experience true mobile Internet service at broadband speeds, on a state-of-the-art network using the newest wireless technology in the world. "Alvarion is delighted to partner with DBC to enable the delivery of the first Mobile WiMAX service in the U.S. market," said Tzvika Friedman, president and CEO. "We are proud to be at the forefront of the industry with an innovative, mature and certified Mobile WiMAX base station, further demonstrating our commitment to the industry as we offer the market next generation OPEN(TM) WiMAX solutions for the 2.5, 3.5 and 2.3 GHz frequency bands."

NASCAR Team Turns to Microsoft High-Performance Computing to Increase Competitive Edge Before RacesChip Ganassi Racing selects Microsoft solution, running simulations 38 times as fast as before.

REDMOND, Wash., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In an effort to improve car performance during races, Chip Ganassi Racing has selected a high-performance computing (HPC) solution based on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, Microsoft Corp. announced today.

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

Chip Ganassi Racing uses computer simulation software to help its NASCAR team determine optimal starting configurations for its cars before each race. With the solution, the team increases its competitive edge by running simulations approximately 38 times as fast as before, providing enough time to run multiple simulations before each race.

"With Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, we were able to easily put a solution in place that helps our teams better prepare for race day," said Mark Paxton, research and development engineering manager for the NASCAR team at Chip Ganassi Racing. "With simulation times reduced from 24 hours to about 30 minutes, we now can run multiple simulations for each race and better tune the situations for each car, track and set of track conditions. Faster simulation times give our car teams more time to rerun simulations if issues arise at the track or expected race-day conditions change."

Since its founding as a one-car IndyCar team 18 years ago, Chip Ganassi Racing, based in Concord, N.C., has grown into a highly competitive racing team that competes in the NASCAR Nextel Cup, NASCAR Nationwide, Indy Racing League, Indy Pro and Rolex Grand-AM series. The team has used simulation software for several years, but its usefulness has been limited by the massive computing power required.

Chip Ganassi Racing worked with Microsoft and Stackpole Engineering Services Inc., its simulation software vendor, to modify the software to run on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. Whereas it previously took the team 24 hours to run a simulation, Chip Ganassi Racing can now run a simulation in less than an hour by using a five-node, HPC cluster. By taking advantage of HPC, Chip Ganassi Racing can run simulations faster and more often, enabling the team to optimize race car performance and ultimately be more competitive at the track.

Chip Ganassi Racing can identify optimal starting configurations by using the technology to model track characteristics, expected race-day conditions such as temperature, and how performance under those scenarios is affected by wheel camber, tire pressure, spring rates and other variables that affect suspension geometry.

"We're all about making cars go faster, not building fancy computer systems," Paxton said. "At first, I thought HPC was only for big companies that can afford multimillion-dollar supercomputers. After we realized that HPC was accessible and affordable, we saw the potential competitive advantage it would bring. My only concerns were that the solution be easy to use and easy to manage, and that we could easily modify the application. Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 enabled us to meet all three requirements."

"Typical HPC solutions can be costly and complex, but we have designed Windows-based HPC solutions to be cost-effective and easy to deploy, use and manage," said David Graff, U.S. automotive industry solutions director at Microsoft. "Microsoft is making long-term investments in HPC to help automotive and other manufacturing customers create innovative solutions that accelerate insights and ultimately drive business success."

SAN ANTONIO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today at the 2008 National Educational Computing Conference (NECC 2008), Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Learning Technology (HMHLT) and Microsoft Corp. announced the release of the new Learning Village, built on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. This teaching and learning portal is a single sign-on solution where educators, students and parents can access and organize their schools' instructional content and learning resources quickly and efficiently.

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

"This alliance between Microsoft and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Learning Technology is built from a common goal to create powerful learning communities within and beyond the classroom," said Anthony Salcito, general manager of Education for Microsoft. "Microsoft's technology scale and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's content expertise will together change the K-12 education market and atmosphere."

Learning Village delivers curricula, content and resources in a unified, personalized and education -- relevant environment for teachers, administrators, parents and students -- providing a central point for communication, collaboration, teaching and professional development. It enhances districtwide decision-making and promotes student achievement. Schools across the country are already migrating from previous versions of Learning Village to tap into the incredible curricula and resources available to drive engagement, collaboration and achievement.

"Learning Village showcases how teachers, students and parents all benefit when lesson plans, content and curricula are centralized and accessible," said Scott Kirkpatrick, president, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Learning Technology. "As a leading K-12 global education company, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt provides rich instructional materials and ease of use for districts large and small. Learning Village combines Microsoft's technology platform with innovative curriculum management to deliver an incredible level of teaching and learning resources to the educational experience -- making teachers more productive, students more engaged and parents more informed."

Simplifying Teaching and Learning Solutions

Educators typically spend a lot of time and resources gathering information for lesson plans and tailoring lessons to specific student needs. They must tap into a variety of assets, ranging from DVDs and books to magazines, software and MP3s. Using the capabilities of Office SharePoint Server 2007, Learning Village delivers all this curricula and content for teachers, students, administrators and parents across a school district and community to one central location in a unified and personalized Web environment. Most important, Learning Village provides a framework for delivering high-quality educational experiences -- incorporating existing education applications and aligning those with the best practices of the district and community. Learning Village extends the school day, creating a forum for continuous learning and continuous professional development.

"We see Learning Village as a centralized solution for our teachers, where they can expand curriculum and real-world solutions, focus on professional development, and collaborate with one another," said Linda Eller, professional development coordinator, Educational Technology, Memphis City Schools. "We can't wait to start using and taking advantage of the new capabilities in the next-generation Learning Village. Now, with the utilization of the single sign-on application built on SharePoint, Learning Village will offer us even more -- better navigation and folder organization, an easier way to search content, and the ability to have even more content available."

With Learning Village, a single point of entry allows for personalized access to numerous resources, including assessments, curriculum, student information, discussion forums, just-in-time communication and more. As an example, with the student audience on the Microsoft Learning Gateway portal, students can access their homework assignments and participate in news updates and forums with their peers. Similarly, teachers can monitor student progress, share best practices, and deliver state-of the-art instruction, all while participating in professional development communities that help them hone their skills. Parents stay connected by reviewing their child's activities and performance.

"For teachers, the Internet is an essential tool that can be used for information-sharing, professional growth, classroom management and community support," said Marvin Jones, Ph.D., assistant superintendent, Bakersfield City School District in California. "As one of the earliest adopters, we are incredibly excited about the new Learning Village, which uses the power of the Internet to organize district materials and resources. The next generation of Learning Village saves our teachers time and provides them with a single logon to district resources. Utilization of the Internet enables teachers to access Learning Village at their convenience. Additionally, teachers may enhance their instructional expertise by accessing professional development articles and video clips. Learning Village provides a vehicle for grade level teams to collaborate in the development of lessons and share best practices with one another. It will help our parents and students make the most of their educational experiences."

California Micro Devices lance l'architecture de filtre Praetorian(R) III LC pour les combinés mobiles

MILPITAS, Californie, June 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- La société offre des capacités de filtrage EMI supérieures pour les interfaces de données à haute vitesse ainsi qu'une architecture à moindre coÃ»t

California Micro Devices (Nasdaq : CAMD) a annoncé aujourd'hui son architecture de filtre Praetorian III LC de troisième génération pour les combinés mobiles. Ã‰tablissant une nouvelle norme pour la performance des filtres, les produits Praetorian III offrent un meilleur rendement que les produits Praetorian I, et ce à un coÃ»t moindre équivalent à celui de la famille de produits Praetorian II lancée récemment. Conçue à partir d'un inducteur couplé novateur, l'architecture Praetorian III de CMD comprend des filtres dotés de niveaux élevés d'inductance ainsi que de faibles niveaux de capacité. Cela entraîne des conceptions de filtre qui offrent des niveaux accrus d'atténuation ainsi qu'une plus grande intégrité des signaux comparativement aux produits concurrents.

Croissance des interfaces de données à large bande passante

Les produits basés sur l'architecture Praetorian III répondent aux exigences les plus rigoureuses de filtres EMI et de protection ESD qu'on retrouve dans les modèles de combiné de pointe actuels, y compris les affichages LCD couleurs à haute résolution, les imageurs de caméra, et les interfaces à mémoire amovible. << L'augmentation de la demande des consommateurs pour des téléphones polyvalents et des téléphones intelligents devrait stimuler la croissance des volumes de combinés au cours des prochaines années >>, a commenté Tina Teng, analyste des communications sans fil pour iSuppli Corporation. << iSuppli prévoit une croissance des volumes d'unités pour ces catégories combinées qui atteindra un taux de croissance annuel composé de 9,3 % de 2008 à 2011 comparativement à 6,0 % pour l'ensemble du marché des combinés. Les produits qui répondent aux besoins d'application des affichages à haute résolution, des imageurs et des mémoires amovibles à haute densité risquent de profiter de l'augmentation prévue de la demande. >>

Architecture Praetorian III

L'architecture Praetorian III utilise une topologie filtre-pi à six pôles et est dotée de fréquences de coupure élevées, de niveaux élevés d'atténuation et de protection ESD robuste pouvant atteindre une décharge de contact de 15 kV, conformément à la norme 61000-4-2 de niveau 2 de la CEI. Tirant profit des inducteurs à valeur élevée dans la surface disponible de la puce, elle permet l'utilisation de condensateurs à valeur moindre qui entraîne une conception de filtre dont la capacité d'entrée est aussi faible que 10 pF, améliorant ainsi considérablement l'intégrité des signaux. Les petites dimensions de l'inducteur couplé permettent également la conception de filtres qui peuvent Ãªtre intégrés à des boîtiers CSP (chip scale package) et à des uDFN de petites dimensions de 0,4 mm.

<< Grâce à la croissance des applications de données à large bande passante, la recherche d'une solution de filtrage dotée d'une faible capacité de voie est devenue une préoccupation majeure pour les ingénieurs de modèles de combiné soucieux de maintenir l'intégrité des signaux >>, a déclaré Kyle Baker, vice-président du marketing de CMD. << Les produits Praetorian III constituent une solution idéale pour ces applications, offrant ainsi la meilleure performance d'industrie à de nouveaux niveaux de prix inférieurs >>, a-t-il poursuivi. Des échantillons des nouveaux produits basés sur l'architecture Praetorian III seront distribués au troisième trimestre.

By leveraging TI's 3GHz, powerful multicore DSPs, optimized software and analog signal chain components, Xinwei can not only meet the aggressive deployment schedules leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics but also offer a migration path to Beyond3G, including TD-LTE. For more information, please visit http://www.ti.com/TCI6487.

According to ABI Research analyst Serene Fong, there will be approximately 103 million wireless broadband households in China by 2010, a 14 percent CAGR growth from 2007. Many of these households clearly benefit from these broadband wireless advancements. SCDMA, and its off-shoot McWiLL (Multicarrier Wireless Information Local Loop), are optimized to deliver high-speed, bandwidth-intensive applications. SCDMA/McWiLL incorporates advanced technologies including smart antenna, software radio, CS-OFDMA, dynamic channel allocation, adaptive modulation, QoS/GoS, and enhanced spatial nulling technology. Such state of the art technologies, integrated in a synergetic way, enable the McWiLL system to have significantly larger coverage, higher data throughput, and more efficient combination of broadband and narrowband applications than its competitions. More importantly, further surpassing its popular alternatives, the McWiLL system, powered by smart antennas and dynamic channel allocation technologies, can support N=1X1 deployment and can allow an operator to deploy a large wide-area-network with one frequency band of 5MHz. The superb performance comes from sophisticated implementation of the aforementioned advanced technologies, requiring very high performance processing while maintaining a low power budget.

"As a leading provider of base station technology, Xinwei looks not only at today's needs of service providers and consumers, but future needs as well," said Mr. Zhiyun Liu, vice president of Xinwei. "TI's complete signal chain solution -- including DSPs, software and analog -- enables Xinwei to deliver a family of base stations with additional features and capacity while reducing the overall system cost."

Xinwei's next generation macro base stations will deploy TI's multicore 3GHz-performing TMS320TCI6487 processor. With three cores running at 1 GHz each, this wireless infrastructure baseband product enables base station manufacturers to extend their existing designs while entering into new markets, requiring small form factor applications with an exceptional scaleable, flexible solution.

Already the most widely deployed baseband processor for TD-SCDMA, Xinwei was able to capitalize on this "baseband on a chip," delivering a 15Mbps system on single carrier/sector using a small number of TCI6487's DSPs per board.

"We are very pleased to enable Xinwei to deliver this exceptional technology to the people of China," said Eldon Teng, director of Asia sales and marketing with Texas Instruments. "As a committed participant in China's communications infrastructure growth, it is an honor to provide our customers with the best DSP technology available."

Complete DSP Baseband Solution Speeds Time to Market

Building on TI's current WiMAX leadership, the TCI6487 is an excellent solution that meets the unique needs of today's emerging OFDMA requirements and tomorrow's LTE demands. The single-chip DSP solution works in conjunction with TI's optimized software library, complete analog front end and key products from third parties. Now, TI's customers can quickly get to market with advanced products for current requirements and have the ability to shrink as future smaller form factor requirements demand. A complete 10-MHz, 2-antenna, 3-sector solution can easily be implemented, improving overall cost and power per channel.

TI offers the industry's broadest wireless infrastructure product portfolio, spanning the complete signal chain. Supporting analog products include digital up/down converters, high speed data converters, RF products, timing, backplane interface and standard logic components. Highlighting the company's leadership in power management, TI has developed a non-isolated DC/DC power module with extremely fast response and high performance. It is the first power management device to meet core voltage tolerance requirements of the TCI6487.

East Jefferson General Hospital Selects Allscripts Electronic Health Record, Offers Free Electronic Prescribing for Affiliated New Orleans-Area PhysiciansHospital Leverages Federal Rule-Change Allowing Donations of Technology to Community Physicians

CHICAGO and METAIRIE, La., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allscripts, the leading provider of clinical software and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, announced today that East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH) has selected the Allscripts Electronic Health Record (EHR) for 138 of its employed and affiliated physicians, in the first phase of an anticipated deployment to all of the hospital's affiliated physicians. The New Orleans-area hospital also will offer Allscripts electronic prescribing technology at no charge to other medical staff who are not using the Electronic Health Record at this time.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061005/ALLSCRIPTSLOGO-b)

In deploying the Allscripts Electronic Health Record for physicians in its owned medical group as well as affiliated physicians, EJGH is leveraging recent changes to the federal Stark regulations which allow hospitals to subsidize the purchase of healthcare information technology for non-employed physicians.

"By offering physicians in the East Bank of Jefferson Parish the Allscripts electronic health record, we hope to provide a seamless connection to critical patient information throughout the entire continuum of care, anytime and anywhere," said Mark J. Peters, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of East Jefferson General Hospital. "Our goal is to help all of the region's physicians to connect electronically to East Jefferson for truly integrated patient care."

Opened in 1971 as a non-profit hospital in Metairie, adjacent to New Orleans, EJGH today has 450 beds and 3,000 employees. In 2002 the hospital was named Louisiana's first Nurse Magnet Hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, a status that places it among the nation's top hospitals. It is one of only eight facilities nationwide to hold affiliate status with M.D. Anderson Physicians Network, the nation's leader in cancer care, and was recently ranked the No. 1 cardiac care hospital in Louisiana by HealthGrades.

The Allscripts Electronic Health Record automates everyday clinical tasks such as documenting patient care, ordering and reviewing tests, and prescribing and refilling medications. EJGH will integrate the Allscripts solution with its inpatient information systems, enabling physicians outside the hospital to view the charts, schedules, lab results and radiology results of their hospitalized patients. The Electronic Health Record will be provided for EJGH physicians using secure Internet connections leveraging the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, a simple, affordable means of delivering vital patient information to caregivers without the upfront costs of purchasing new equipment to host the solution themselves. The SaaS model also speeds deployment and is becoming an increasingly important option for mid-size and independent practices.

"Physicians want to focus their time, effort, and money on caring for patients, not managing technology, and we think the Software as a Service model will make it easier for East Jefferson's affiliated physicians to enter the electronic healthcare highway," said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts. "Thanks to East Jefferson's leadership, more physicians in Jefferson Parish will be able to improve the quality of care they deliver and more effectively manage the costs of their own medical practices."

As part of its communitywide information strategy, EJGH will encourage affiliated physicians who do not implement the Allscripts EHR to adopt the Allscripts ePrescribe solution, a Web-based electronic prescribing application.

"Study after study has shown that electronic prescribing can help prevent needless medical errors, so for those physicians who choose not to implement the electronic health record, we want to make it as easy as possible for them to still prescribe electronically," said EJGH Chief Medical Information Officer Chris Barrilleaux, MD. "We think electronic prescribing is a natural first step towards implementation of a full electronic health record."

Designed to appeal to physicians in solo practice or small groups, the Allscripts ePrescribe solution requires no download, no new hardware, and minimal training. All prescriptions are instantly checked for drug-to-drug, drug-allergy and other potentially harmful interactions, and users receive real-time notification of insurance formulary status from leading payers, plans and pharmacy benefit managers.

In addition to the Allscripts solutions for physicians, EJGH's vision includes providing patients with a secure, online Personal Health Record and patient-provider communications from Allscripts.
