AnalogicTech Updates Outlook for Second Quarter 2008

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. ("AnalogicTech" or the "Company") , a developer of power management semiconductors for mobile consumer electronic devices, today provided an updated outlook for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050829/SFTU089LOGO)

Based upon the Company's preliminary review of its financial performance for the second quarter of 2008, AnalogicTech expects to report net revenue in the range of $20.5 to $21.5 million. Net revenue, gross margin and earnings per share are expected to be below the Company's original forecast primarily due to continued weakness in China handset sales, short-term delays in the roll out of new high profile handsets by its customers and general softness in its end markets.

The Company also expects to record the following expenses that will adversely affect its financial results:

-- A higher than normal excess inventory charge in the range of $0.8 to $1.2 million as a result of lower than anticipated sales.

-- A severance charge of approximately $0.4 million, which includes $0.2 million of stock compensation expense, associated with the departure of the Company's former Chief Operating Officer.

-- A charge related to in-process research and development expenses associated with the acquisition of Elite Micro Devices, Inc. of approximately $0.3 million.

Elite, a privately held, Shanghai, China-based audio company was acquired by AnalogicTech for approximately $1.0 million in cash in the second quarter. Elite's high performance Class D audio amplifier and CODEC products are ideal for audio amplification and audio processing in handsets, personal media players, Bluetooth hands-free car kits, and high definition televisions. AnalogicTech will discuss technology synergies and new market opportunities made possible by this acquisition during its second quarter conference call.

AnalogicTech continues to be encouraged by its design win traction across multiple product lines, several of which are in new high profile handsets. While the timing of the new handset introductions will vary, the Company's expected dollar-content in these models is significantly higher than that of previous design cycles. In its non-handset business, AnalogicTech recently secured its first design win for its one-chip PowerSOC for digital still cameras at a major OEM. Progress on development, introduction and design wins continues across high-voltage and multi-function products using ModularBCD.

AnalogicTech will release full financial results for the second quarter on July 28, 2008, after the market closes and will host a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss the results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. To participate in the live call, analysts and investors should dial 800-218-0204 at least ten minutes prior to the call. AnalogicTech will also offer a live and archived webcast of the conference call, accessible from the company's investor relations website at http://www.aati.com/ or via the corporate website, http://www.analogictech.com/. A telephonic replay of the conference call will also be available until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, August 1, 2008, by dialing 800-405-2236 and entering the passcode: 11116327#.

Schultz has joined the company as its General Counsel. In addition, SRA veteran Mike Fox was named as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, a newly created leadership role in the company; and Jeff Rydant was named Senior Vice President of Marketing & Sales.

Schultz will report to SRA President and CEO Stan Sloane and will be responsible for managing all corporate transactions along with business, employment and contract law activities.

Schultz is a member of the New York, Washington and Tokyo Bar Associations, and is on the board of directors for the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade.

"Mark's focus on international law brings an expertise to SRA that will prove valuable for our growth strategy," said Sloane. "We are looking forward to having him as a key player on our management team."

Fox, in his new role, will lead SRA's strategic planning process, develop marketing strategies for the company's new initiatives, actively participate in mergers and acquisitions and manage business integration synergies for acquired companies, and take part in significant capture opportunities. With more than 20 years at SRA, Fox has held a number of leadership positions during his tenure, most recently as Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

"Mike's knowledge of the inner-workings of SRA, as well as the external market environment, provides the necessary depth to support and achieve our long-term growth objectives," said Sloane. "In this strategic role, Fox will continue to work closely with SRA's business sectors, research and development organization and the technical operations team."

Most recently Rydant was a consultant for SRA playing a lead role in capture and proposal efforts for many of the company's largest programs.

Spectrum Control Reports Second Quarter ProfitCustomer Orders for the Current Quarter Total $42.4 Million; Up 20% from a Year Ago and 34% from the First Quarter of This Year

FAIRVIEW, Pa., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

FlashResults Spectrum Control, Inc. (SPEC) (Numbers in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 2nd quarter ended 2nd quarter ended 5/31/2008 YTD 5/31/2007 YTD Sales $32,574 $63,728 33,558 66,445 Net Income 2,176 3,965 2,750 4,869 Average Shares 13,358 13,500 13,798 13,694 EPS $0.16 $0.29 $0.20 $0.36

Spectrum Control, Inc. , a leading designer and manufacturer of electronic control products and systems, today reported results for the second quarter ended May 31, 2008.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company reported net income of $2.2 million or 16 cents per share on sales of $32.6 million, compared to net income of $2.8 million or 21 cents per share (20 cents diluted) on sales of $33.6 million for the same period last year. For the first half of fiscal 2008, the Company had net income of $4.0 million or 30 cents per share (29 cents diluted) on sales of $63.7 million. For the comparable period of 2007, the Company had net income of $4.9 million or 37 cents per share (36 cents diluted) on sales of $66.4 million.

Dick Southworth, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Total customer orders received in the current quarter were a record $42.4 million, an increase of $10.8 million or 34% from the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $7.0 million or 20% from the same period a year ago. Military and defense markets were particularly strong. Major orders received in the second quarter included applications for secure communications, various land and amphibious combat systems, and munitions systems. With this strong order rate, our sales order backlog grew to $58.3 million as of May 31, 2008, up $10.3 million from the end of last fiscal year. A significant portion of our recent orders, however, are not required to be shipped to customers until later this year or early into fiscal 2009. As a result, our shipments and profitability for the current quarter fell slightly below our previous expectations. With our record second quarter order rate and strong sales order backlog, we have maintained our production capacity and infrastructure to enable us to respond quickly and efficiently to expected increases in business levels. Accordingly, we believe our Company is strategically positioned for long-term dynamic growth and enhanced shareholder value."

Business Segment Discussion

Our operations are conducted in four reportable segments: signal and power integrity components; microwave components and systems; power management systems; and sensors and controls.

Our Signal and Power Integrity Components Business designs and manufactures a broad range of products including low pass electromagnetic interference ("EMI") filters, filter plates, filtered connectors, specialty ceramic components, power entry modules, power line filters, antennas, and various value-added assemblies. These products are used in numerous industries including military and defense, communications equipment, medical and industrial instrumentation, and commercial aerospace.

Our Microwave Components and Systems Business designs and manufactures microwave filters, amplifiers, frequency mixers, oscillators, synthesizers, multiple channel filter banks, and related products and integrated assemblies. These components and systems are predominantly used in various military and defense applications including secure communications, smart weapons and munitions, countermeasures for improvised explosive devices, radar systems, and military aircraft.

Early in fiscal 2008, customer orders for certain military/defense programs were delayed and demand throughout portions of our telecom equipment markets was soft. These market conditions contributed to lower shipment volumes during the current quarter for our signal and power components, as well as our microwave products. However, overall market conditions have recently improved, as reflected in our second quarter order rates.

Shipments of our signal and power integrity components were $13.7 million in the current quarter, down $1.1 million from the second quarter of last year. Sales of our microwave components and systems amounted to $10.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, down $1.4 million from the same period a year ago. In the current quarter, customer orders received for signal and power integrity components totaled $ 19.6 million, up $6.8 million or 53% from the first quarter of this year and $3.1 million or 19% from the comparable period of fiscal 2007. Customer orders received for our microwave products were $13.5 million in the current quarter, an increase of $5.5 million or 68% from the first quarter of this year and $1.9 million or 17% from the same period last year.

Our Sensors and Controls Business designs and manufactures rotary and linear precision sensors, temperature sensing probes, thermistors, resistance detector sensors, and related assemblies. Shipments of our sensors and controls amounted to $5.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, up $446,000 or 9% from the same period a year ago. Customer orders for these products totaled $6.9 million in the current quarter, up $1.2 million or 21% from the second quarter of last year. In particular, demand for our custom position sensors (which are used in numerous applications including robotic surgical equipment, commercial weather instruments, and military aircraft and vehicles) continues to increase.

Our Power Management Systems Business designs and manufactures power distribution units, breaker and fuse interface panels, custom power outlet strips, and our Smart Start power management systems. Shipments of our power management systems increased by $1.1 million or 57%, with shipments of $2.9 million in the current quarter and $1.9 million in the comparable period last year. Customer orders for these systems amounted to $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 42% from a year ago. Demand for these products was particularly strong in applications for servers, data storage, optical networking equipment, voice-over-internet protocol ("VoIP") equipment, switching gear, and various defense-related systems.

Stock Buyback

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we continued our stock buyback program, with our Board of Directors authorizing an additional $5.0 million to be used for stock repurchases. Of this additional authorization, $1.7 million was expended in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to acquire approximately 199,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of our stock buyback program, acquired shares are purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prevailing market prices. Funding for these repurchases comes from available cash reserves or borrowings under our revolving line of credit facilities. The amount and timing of future share repurchases will be based on our ongoing assessment of the Company's capital structure, liquidity, and the market price of the Company's Common Stock. From the inception of our stock buyback program through May 31, 2008, we have repurchased a total of 1.1 million shares at an aggregate cost of $7.7 million, as part of our Board's aggregate authorization of $11.0 million. The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock.

Current Business Outlook

Mr. Southworth added, "With some uncertainty in the U.S. economic and political environment, and ever-shortening lead times within our commercial markets, developing short-term business forecasts has become increasingly difficult. Based upon our existing sales order backlog, recent customer order trends, and the forecasted requirements for certain major customers and programs, we currently expect shipments of $32.5 to $34.0 million for our third quarter ending August 31, 2008. If this sales level is achieved, we anticipate generating earnings of 16 to 19 cents per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. On a longer-term basis, we will continue to build a diversified platform of products, while strengthening our status as a key supplier to all of our major customers. As we broaden our product portfolio and participation in a wide variety of markets, we will lessen the impact from a sustained weakness in any particular market sector. As our sales volumes increase, we will be able to leverage our manufacturing overhead to enhance operating margins and overall profitability More than ever, we believe this business strategy will deliver long-term shareholder value during all market cycles."

Verizon Wireless Expands Wireless Network to Athens County, OhioNew Network Infrastructure Expands Coverage Area and Service For New and Existing Customers

ATHENS, Ohio, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has extended its wireless voice and data network to Athens County, giving its customers here direct access to the nation's most reliable wireless network. This expanded coverage means that both new and existing customers will enjoy Verizon Wireless' reliable network throughout the region. Additionally, customers in Athens County will have access to advanced wireless features such as picture, video and animated messaging.

The new network coverage comprises all of Athens County -- including the city of Athens, the Ohio University main campus and Lake Hope State Park -- as well as portions of Jackson, Vinton and Meigs counties. The network expansion includes:

-- The length of U.S. Route 50 through Vinton and Athens counties from Coolville to Ratcliffburg; -- U.S. Route 33 through Athens and Meigs counties from Nelsonville to Pomeroy; -- State Route 32 through Athens and Jackson counties from Coolville to Beaver; -- U.S. Route 35 through Jackson County from Brocks Corner to Centerville.

Investing nearly $17 million in the expansion of its network, Verizon Wireless has constructed 46 new cell sites throughout the new markets enabling Verizon Wireless customers living in and visiting the area to take advantage of enhanced wireless phone services while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

"This network enhancement reflects our ongoing commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high quality services they expect from Verizon Wireless," said Roger Tang, president-Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia Region, Verizon Wireless. "Wireless consumers today understand that value is not defined by price alone. A major reason our customers choose Verizon Wireless and stay with us is because we offer the nation's most reliable network. And now, we offer that reliability directly to Athens County residents."

With Verizon Wireless, local residents now have access to the company's nationally recognized customer service and advanced features such as Get It Now(R) applications. Verizon Wireless customers can simply download these applications -- such as ringtones, games and more -- to their handsets and purchase them directly from these devices.

"We are always working to increase our network coverage and reliability, and our expansion to Athens and the surrounding counties is an important part of this commitment," said Tang. "Local residents, students, businesses and visitors will have direct access to the benefits of Verizon Wireless."

The new coverage will also give Verizon Wireless customers the convenience of the company's IN Network, which provides customers the ability to talk and send text and multimedia messages to other Verizon Wireless subscribers free.

The expanded service is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to improve coverage and capacity, and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Ohio and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. Last year, the company invested nearly $190 million in its Ohio network improvements.

Manhattan Scientifics Acquires Metallicum, Inc.Advanced Metals Technologies from Los Alamos National LaboratoryAluminum as Strong as SteelAirplanes, Cars Go On a Nanotechnology Diet

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Manhattan Scientifics (Pink Sheets: MHTX) announced today that it has acquired Metallicum, Inc. and its licensed patented technology. The announcement came from MHTX's affiliate Albuquerque factory, where New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingaman said, "I believe the merger of Manhattan Scientifics with Metallicum will have a very positive effect on New Mexico and the country. The lightweight nano metals the company will produce will have the potential to revolutionize a whole range of industries, from transportation to health care. This merger is another great example of how our national laboratories can partner with the private sector and create vital jobs while meeting some of our nation's most pressing needs."

The transaction includes all of Metallicum's licensed intellectual property related to the design and high-volume nano-fabrication of nano-structuring metals for medical components as well as for transportation applications. The Company intends to establish manufacturing partner relationships with major Fortune 500 metals companies. "Our business plan includes strategic partnering with significant customers in the medical device & prosthetics industries as well as in auto, truck, & aircraft manufacturing industries," said Marvin Maslow, founder & chairman emeritus of Manhattan Scientifics. "We are working towards regaining our full-reporting SEC status and trading on the OTC board."

Company CEO Manny Tsoupanarias commented, "With the acquisition of Metallicum, Manhattan Scientifics is re-inventing itself as a 'green company.' This move is intended to enable us to accomplish our goal of profitability for our shareholders."

The Metallicum division will produce and license the super strong metals using nano-technology developed by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in conjunction with their colleagues in Russia. "The advantages are easy to understand because a stronger metal means using less material for the same purpose. Less material translates to lighter weight and reduced environmental impact. For example, a lighter weight car uses less gas," said Terry Lowe, Ph.D., co-inventor of the nano-structured metals process, president and chief scientist of the Metallicum division. Lowe continued, "A lightweight industrial metal, like aluminum, can be manufactured to have the strength of steel. The technology is expected to trim thousands of pounds from airplanes and hundreds of pounds from cars without sacrificing structural strength or adding significant cost. The fuel savings to the American public will be significant as will the number of jobs created for Americans, particularly in New Mexico."

Dr. Lowe added, "A big airplane like a B747 has about 100,000 pounds of titanium in its construction. We believe our nano metals could reduce that weight by about 5% or 5,000 pounds."(1)

The nanostructured metals have wide implications for use in the medical device and prosthetics industries including dental implants, replacements for hips, shoulders, knees and cardio vascular stents. Clinical studies have already shown that bone integrates with these new metals up to 20 times faster. This means faster healing after surgery and ultimately longer lifetimes for nano-structured metals implants. Maslow added, "People are living longer and we need new parts. The biological acceptance of Nano Titanium by the human body is stunning."

Donald J. Sandstrom, a member of the MHTX science team and former senior leader of Materials Science and Technology Division at the Los Alamos Laboratory added, "New technologies are the life blood of the American society. During the most recent decades the technological achievements in electronics, beginning with the transistor, and the computer have all been driven by some new material, or understanding of materials behavior that has allowed these advances to be made. We are now poised on the edge of another exceptional materials breakthrough. Nanomaterials promise to lead the way in the improvement in structural materials, materials for wear resistance, and most recently, biomaterials and nano-structured titanium will lead the way!"

The nano-structuring process was developed through a U.S. Department of Energy program that brings together its national laboratories, U.S. companies, and FSU institutes to redirect the efforts of scientists who formerly worked on nuclear weapons and related military technologies.

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

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

The network brings the power and capacity of fiber optics directly into people's homes and has industry-leading quality and reliability. Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of uncompressed, high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. It also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps as well as high-quality voice services.

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

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

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

Verizon Wireless Expands Wireless Broadband Network in Ohio to Portions of Geauga CountyHigh-Speed Network Gives Verizon Wireless Customers Access to Fast Wireless Internet, E-mail, Mobile Music, Videos and More

MIDDLEFIELD, Ohio, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today that it has expanded the national rollout of its high-speed wireless network to portions of Geauga County including the towns of Huntsburg, Newbury, Middlefield, Auburn Corners and Parkman.

"This is a vital area with dynamic, tech-savvy business people, students, visitors and residents who want to stay connected," said Roger Tang, president -- Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia region, Verizon Wireless. "The launch of our broadband network here provides our customers with access to the very latest wireless technology."

With the wireless broadband network now available, Verizon Wireless customers in the area can enjoy two prime services:

-- BroadbandAccess, the enhanced high-speed wireless service that equips Verizon Wireless' business customers with a truly untethered mobile office experience, enabling them to wirelessly access their calendars, the Internet, e-mail and critical business information residing behind their companies' firewalls; and

-- V CAST, a consumer-oriented multimedia service that gives customers access to the most comprehensive selection of downloadable music, high-quality videos and the coolest 3D games found anywhere.

BroadbandAccess

Based on Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) network technology, BroadbandAccess provides mobile workers with the ability to access their corporate information as if they were attached to this data via a high-speed wired connection but with the freedom of true mobility. Developed with a range of users in mind, the service enables large enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection.

With BroadbandAccess, business customers, residents and visitors to the area can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps. That means they can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

Customers who travel outside the enhanced BroadbandAccess coverage area with an EV-DO device will switch seamlessly to the company's NationalAccess service.

"Our enhanced BroadbandAccess service gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication -- speed, mobility and security," Tang said. "With these advantages comes an increase in productivity and bottom-line business benefits."

V CAST: Video and Music

The company's wireless broadband network also enables its V CAST multimedia services, which offer customers the ability to download full-song tracks, play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to their handsets with top transmission speeds. With content updated daily, customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather updates, sports highlights and the hottest entertainment clips.

Coverage and Investment

Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess and V CAST coverage in Ohio now includes the following communities:

-- In Huntsburg, along Chardon Windsor Road, as far east as Clay Street and as far west as Kile Road. New coverage is available as far north as Sisson Road and Hautala Road and as far south as Huntley Road;

-- In Newbury, along Pekin Road as far east as State Highway 44 and as far west as Bass Lake Road; and along State Highway 44 as far north as Butternut Road and as far south as Kinsman Road;

-- In Middlefield, along State Highway 87, as far east as State Highway 528 and as far west as Woodsong Drive and also along State Street for approximately one mile north and south of the intersection with State Highway 87;

-- In Auburn Corners, along Interstate 422 as far east as the Cuyahoga River and as far west as Shaw Road, and along Rapids Road as far north as Interstate 422 and as far south as Winagle Road;

-- In Parkman along Interstate 422, State Highway 88, State Highway 168 and McCall Road.

The multi-million dollar expansion includes the installation of high-tech wireless hardware and software in wireless transmission sites throughout the region. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. Last year, the company invested nearly $190 million in its Ohio network improvements.

Verizon Wireless was the first national wireless provider to commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United States. These communities in Ohio are the latest markets to be added to the coverage.

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers.

Stanley Marks Success of the Department of State's New Tucson Passport CenterCeremony Held On June 30 To Celebrate Opening

ARLINGTON, Va., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stanley, Inc. , a leading provider of systems integration and professional services to the U.S. Federal Government, announced today that a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on June 30, 2008, to mark the successful opening of the Tucson Passport Center (TPC) in Tucson, Ariz. Stanley provides facility operations and production support for the U.S. passport as well as other travel documents at the facility.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040106/DCTU010LOGO )

The TPC is the second of two mega-processing centers that Stanley has built in the past two years for the Department of State in response to the rise in passport demand resulting from the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. It is anticipated that more than 18 million passports will be produced in the government's fiscal year 2008.

The TPC began processing passports on May 5, 2008. Its sister facility, the Arkansas Passport Center, was opened in March 2007. These two centers represent a dynamic new approach to the passport production process, separating the printing from the processing and adjudication functions supported by the Department of State's other centers and agencies nationwide.

"This project was a team effort from start to finish and all involved should take pride in their contribution to the Department of State's critical mission of providing passport services to the American public," said Phil Nolan, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Stanley. "We are both proud and excited to be participants in this endeavor."

Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick F. Kennedy, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Janice L. Jacobs, Tucson Mayor Robert E. Walkup, and other government officials were in attendance at the ribbon cutting.

Stanley was awarded a 10-year contract in October 2006 to construct the two contractor-supplied and operated turnkey facilities in Arizona and Arkansas. The city of Tucson offered a strong local workforce, among other factors, which led to it being chosen as the site for one of the facilities.

Stanley delivers professional services, passport application processing services, technology support and logistics support to the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs/Passport Services Directorate. Stanley has worked with the Bureau of Consular Affairs since 1992, beginning with operations at the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, N.H.

About Stanley

Stanley is a provider of information technology services and solutions to U.S. defense and federal civilian government agencies. Stanley offers its customers systems integration solutions and expertise to support their mission-essential needs at any stage of program, product development or business lifecycle through five service areas: systems engineering, enterprise integration, operational logistics, business process outsourcing, and advanced engineering and technology.

Cablevision Celebrates Freedom With the Addition of 15 New Channels of Free HD for iO TV(SM) CustomersLeading HD Line-Up Will Expand To 60 Channels On August 1, With The Introduction Of Popular Cable Networks Like Nickelodeon, Discovery Channel, FX, FOX News Channel, AMC, And The Weather Channel - All Offered To iO TV Customers At No Additional Cost

BETHPAGE, N.Y., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cablevision Systems Corp. is celebrating freedom by announcing plans to deliver 15 new free high-definition channels to iO TV digital cable customers -- bringing iO's HD line-up to 60 channels, without the extra equipment or programming fees Cablevision's competitors charge for HD.

The new additions will launch over a five-day period starting July 28 and will be available across Cablevision's entire service area by August 1. More than 1.1 million iO TV customers today have at least one high-definition television and HD-enabled set-top box, an HD customer base that has grown by more than 50 percent in the last year, as Cablevision's high-definition programming line-up has expanded from 23 channels a year ago to 45 today and 60 by the beginning of next month.

Cablevision expects its high-definition line-up to continue to expand, and to ultimately deliver all of the channels it carries in HD, as networks convert to the superior format and the company taps the enormous capacity of its fiber optic network and advanced technology.

The full list of new HD channels will be announced when the services become available later this month, but the additions will include many of cable's most popular networks, including Nickelodeon, WE tv, AMC, Animal Planet, The Weather Channel, Travel Channel, FOX News Channel, Discovery Channel, Hallmark Movie Channel and FX.

"With our nation poised to celebrate the holiday that marks our freedom, we thought it was a perfect time to announce even more free HD for our iO TV digital cable customers," said John Trierweiler, Cablevision's senior vice president of product management. "Free HD has become an important competitive differentiator of our digital cable service, and with these additions iO TV customers will have access to 60 of the best HD channels at no additional cost, including all of the HD games of all nine New York-area professional sports teams."

With nearly 2.7 million iO TV customers, more than 85 percent of Cablevision's cable customers are iO TV digital cable customers, the highest digital penetration in the nation. iO TV offers customers access to up to 360 channels, including 53 premium movie channels, 48 channels of commercial-free digital music, more than 3,500 titles available on demand at all times, an interactive programming guide, 45 high-definition programming services -- moving to 60 services by August 1 -- and uniquely valuable and relevant interactive television applications including News 12 Interactive.

J.D. Power and Associates Reports: Online Television Content Becoming Increasingly Effective in Targeting New-Vehicle Buyers

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Online television show content is emerging as an increasingly effective way of reaching new-vehicle buyers, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Power Auto Online Media Study(SM)-Summer, released today.

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

The semi-annual study, now in its third year, provides an in-depth look at the Internet usage and behavior of new-vehicle buyers and identifies Web sites that most effectively target desirable advertising audiences in terms of reach and scope. It is the only study of its kind that consists exclusively of verified new-vehicle buyers.

The study finds that a substantial majority of new-vehicle buyers -- 68 percent -- report going online to find information on television shows, and that the reach of online television show content among new-vehicle buyers has increased by 22 percent since 2007. In addition, television show content is among the top three types of online information consumed by new-vehicle buyers, along with travel-related information (including maps, driving directions and weather reports) and news (including finance and business-related content).

"As the automotive market struggles in the current economy, it becomes even more important for manufacturers and advertisers to effectively target the diminishing number of consumers who are seeking to purchase a new vehicle," said Arianne Walker, director of marketing and media research at J.D. Power and Associates. "J.D. Power and Associates forecasts that fewer than 15 million new vehicles will be sold in 2008, compared with the 16.1 million sold in 2007. As new-vehicle sales shrink, understanding which advertising mediums will provide the best balance of audience reach and composition is absolutely critical. As more new-vehicle buyers seek information regarding television shows on the Web, advertisers can benefit from increasing their focus on this medium."

The study also finds that new-vehicle buyers most frequently visit the following Web sites when searching for television content: CNN.com (with 30% reach among new-vehicle buyers); MSNBC (24%); ESPN (23%); and FOXNews.com (21%). Among television network Web sites, ABC is visited most frequently by online users (with 16% reach among new-vehicle buyers), followed closely by CBS and NBC (each with 13%).

"Television networks are expanding the types of content offerings available on their Web sites to increase their online audience," said Walker. "In particular, television network sites are issuing online broadcasts of archived television shows, which exposes viewers to pre- and post-roll advertising placements."

Buyers of premium-brand vehicles tend to seek online television show content with the greatest frequency, and are 8 percent more likely to look up information about television shows online, compared with the average new-vehicle buyer. When looking at specific segments, 79 percent of midsize premium utility vehicle buyers, 76 percent of compact premium crossover utility vehicles (CUV) buyers, and 75 percent of midsize premium CUV buyers typically view this type of online content. The biggest increase in consumption of online TV content is among buyers of midsize premium conventional vehicles, a rise of 41 percent since 2007.

"Premium-brand vehicle buyers tend to be frequent users of digital video recorders (DVR), and of the 49 percent of buyers who have DVRs, the vast majority of them -- 97 percent -- tend to skip commercials when they watch recorded TV programming," said Walker. "Fortunately for advertisers, their propensity to view television content online provides an ideal alternative way to expose advertising messages to this audience."

Historically, online television content was viewed primarily by Generation Y new-vehicle buyers (those born between the years of 1977 and 2002). However, consumption by other generations is now nearly as high.

"While 81 percent of Generation Y buyers visit Web sites regarding television shows, 80 percent of Generation X buyers and 73 percent of Baby Boomer buyers are also seeking this content, demonstrating that this medium is an effective way to reach new-vehicle buyers in various generational demographic groups," said Walker.

The Power Auto Online Media Study, now in its third year, is based on a random national sample of 12,809 verified new-vehicle buyers who purchased a vehicle between August and October 2007. The study was fielded between February and April 2008.

Last.fm Offers Radiohead's In Rainbows for Free-On-Demand Listening

NEW YORK and LONDON, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiohead have teamed up with Last.fm to offer their album, In Rainbows, for free, ad-supported on-demand streaming. The album will be made available on Last.fm to listen to in its entirety, for free today at http://www.last.fm/music/radiohead. This deal marks the first time the band have granted a worldwide license of this nature for In Rainbows to an online music Web site.

The rights to In Rainbows have been licensed to Last.fm through the "one stop shop" digital licensing platform that Radiohead and their publisher Warner/Chappell Music created at the end of last year. The service enables rights users around the world to secure all the necessary digital licenses across both the recording and publishing rights for In Rainbows from one destination. All licenses are subject to band approval.

In Rainbows, Radiohead's seventh album, was first made available as a download, which fans could purchase at a price they decided, in October 2007. Last.fm, which is able to track the listening habits of its 21 million-strong community of music fans, revealed that the album was listened to over 22,000 times in the first 12 hours it was available, or once every 2 seconds.

Martin Stiksel, Last.fm co-founder, said: "Radiohead understand that the Internet is changing music distribution, and we're extremely proud that they've teamed up with us to offer In Rainbows for free-on-demand streaming. We believe that music fans should be able to access music for free, and just as importantly, that artists and rights holders should be paid when their music is listened to. Last.fm makes this possible, and we're thrilled to be working with Radiohead to once again break new ground in digital music."

Bryce Edge, Radiohead's co-Manager, said: "We felt this was a fantastic means of offering a new way for people to discover In Rainbows. It's perfect timing for the band's current world tour."

Jane Dyball, Senior Vice President, European Legal and Business Affairs, Warner/Chappell Music said, "The experimental 'one stop shop' for all In Rainbows digital rights has proved a great success. It has offered the band a whole spectrum of innovative ways to digitally distribute and promote their album, whilst providing all their licensees with a nimble service on terms set in consultation with the group and their management."

Business Objects Ranked Number One Business Intelligence Vendor by Revenue by Leading Industry Analyst FirmCombined Share of SAP and Business Objects Lead the Expanding Business Intelligence Market by a Wide Margin

SAN JOSE, Calif. and PARIS, July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Business Objects, an SAP company and the world's leading provider of solutions that optimize business performance, today announced that research analyst firm IDC has ranked Business Objects as the number one vendor for business intelligence (BI) tools with a 14.2 percent market share, and combined with SAP the company leads the market with a 19.2 percent share. The market analysis, titled "Worldwide Business Intelligence Tools 2007 Vendor Shares: Query, Reporting, Analysis and Advanced Analytics Market Stable in the Face of Economic Turmoil," (IDC # 212921) finds Business Objects to have demonstrated leading market shares and revenues, and reports that BI remains one of the top investment priorities for companies globally.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a)

"IDC's 2007 BI tools report marks the eighth year that Business Objects has been listed as the software revenue market leader in this market," said Dan Vesset, vice president of business analytics research, IDC. "This report focuses on business intelligence tools, excluding Business Objects revenue from related product segments such as data integration tools and performance management applications. These additional tools and applications provide Business Objects customers with the option to expand their total business analytics architecture with additional software from the same vendor. Combined with strong BI capabilities from the SAP NetWeaver technology platform, Business Objects provides business users with critical insight -- regardless of whether they are SAP or non-SAP customers."

According to the IDC report, Business Objects also made history as the first BI vendor to reach the $1 billion revenue mark. Business Objects reached this milestone through customers' continued adoption of its BusinessObjects(TM) XI platform and expanded offerings in the broader business analytics software market. In addition, the company extended its product portfolio through the acquisitions of Cartesis for financial performance management, Inxight for content analysis and Fuzzy Informatik for data quality management.

"At Business Objects, our mission is to transform the way the world works by connecting people, information and businesses," said Marge Breya, general manager and executive vice president, Business Intelligence Platform, Business Objects, an SAP company. "Our number-one ranking in IDC's annual BI tools report is great validation of our ability to execute on new products and technologies that optimize business performance. We will continue to break the barriers of traditional BI to enable every person connected within an organization to have trusted, immediate access to the business information they need to do their jobs -- just as easily as they have access to e-mail and the Internet."

In 2008, Business Objects has already delivered the largest platform release in company history, making it the first vendor to bring data integration and data quality together in one product. Together with the BI foundation from SAP NetWeaver(R) and the Business Objects BI platform, Business Objects continues to deliver the leading business intelligence for SAP environments today.

The IDC report also states that the introduction of SAP NetWeaver(R) Business Intelligence Accelerator also contributed to SAP's strength of offering and position in the ranking, as did its data warehousing capabilities. SAP was listed separately from Business Objects in IDC's report on the 2007 BI tools market since the acquisition was completed in January 2008. SAP and Business Objects will appear in the 2008 market report as a single entity.

As an independent business unit within SAP, Business Objects transforms the way the world works by connecting people, information and businesses. Together with one of the industry's strongest and most diverse partner networks, the company delivers business performance optimization to customers worldwide across all major industries, including financial services, retail, consumer-packaged goods, healthcare and public sector.

Court Rulings Against U.S. Subsidiary of Elbit Systems

HAIFA, Israel, July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Systems Ltd. (the "Company") announced that on June 30, 2008, the court issued a series of orders relating to a trial in Memphis, Tennessee, against several defendants, including Kollsman, Inc. ("Kollsman"), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company. This is further to the Company's announcement on November 7, 2007 and information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on May 28, 2008 regarding a claim brought by the plaintiff Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. The new rulings reflect an award to the plaintiff against Kollsman for direct and exemplary damages, interest and costs totaling approximately $23.2 million. A final judgment to be entered by the court will contain the actual judgment amounts. Kollsman strongly believes that these rulings are neither supported by the evidence on the record nor by the applicable law and intends to evaluate the options available to vigorously defend itself, including filing an appeal upon the entry of a final judgment in the case. The Company anticipates that the ruling will materially impact its second quarter 2008 results in an net after tax amount of approximately $10 million, taking into account reserves previously recorded.

EDISON, N.J., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment Company , an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announced today that it was added to the Russell Microcap(R) Index when Russell Investments reconstituted its comprehensive family of U.S. indexes on June 27.

Membership in the Russell Microcap, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We are quite pleased to be a part of the Russell Microcap Index," said Jesse Sutton, Majesco Entertainment's Chief Executive Officer. "Our inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index highlights our efforts and commitment to growing our company in the rapidly developing mass-market, family friendly video game industry."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them.

Annual reconstitution of Russell indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000(R) Index and Russell Microcap. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.

Total returns data for the Russell Microcap and other Russell Indexes is available at http://www.russell.com/Indexes/performance/daily_total_returns_us.asp.
