ISWI Announces Record Wagering Volume for June Reaches $4 MillionISWI ALSO PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

WEST PATERSON, N.J., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interactive Systems Worldwide, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ISWI.OB) today announced record monthly wagering volume from the operation of its SportXction(R) system in the UK.

The system operated by Global Interactive Gaming Ltd. ("GIG"), the Company's wholly-owned UK subsidiary, recorded 2.0 million pounds Sterling ($4.0 million) in turnover (i.e. the total amount wagered) during June 2008. This total is the largest monthly turnover ever recorded by GIG, and represents a 77% increase over the turnover in June 2007 of 1.1 million pounds Sterling ($2.2 million). The turnover in May 2008 was 1.2 million pounds Sterling ($2.4 million). The Company is very encouraged by this growth.

Another significant milestone was reached in June. The hold (i.e. the total amount retained by the system after winning wagers are paid) for June surpassed 150K pounds Sterling for the first time, reaching 151K pounds Sterling ($302K). This represents a hold percentage of 7.58% of the total amount wagered.

The Company's revenue from its agreements under which it operates its software has historically been based upon several factors: the turnover, the hold and the contractual revenue (hold) split with its partners. Under the Company's current agreement with its largest partner, the Company receives the greater of a fixed monthly payment or a revenue share of the hold. Based on the system's performance in June, the Company's revenue share from this partner will exceed its normal fixed monthly payment.

Corporate Update:

The Company's limited cash resources remain management's top priority. The Company is pleased that in June it completed a small ($50,000) debt financing through the issuance of a promissory note to help it solve its immediate, short-term liquidity issue. The Company is actively pursuing other strategic transactions to try to resolve its longer-term liquidity needs.

The one-year employment contract of Mr. Bernard Albanese, the Company's CEO, which was due to expire on June 30, 2008, has been extended for a three-month period with substantially the same terms. This short-term extension was agreed to in order to allow the Company sufficient time to attempt to resolve its liquidity issues, without burdening the Company with an additional long-term commitment. It should be noted that Mr. Albanese has not been paid since April, although his pay is being accrued as a liability to the Company at a voluntarily reduced rate of $180K per annum.

(BULLETIN BOARD: ISWI.OB) has designed, developed and patented a proprietary software system, the SportXction System, which enables play-by-play wagering during the course of live sporting events.

Cenveo Provides Second Quarter Update

STAMFORD, Conn., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Robert G. Burton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cenveo, Inc. , today gave shareholders the following update:

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070618/CENVEOLOGO )

"As we close the second quarter, I am pleased with the Company's performance and results despite a challenging economic environment. We executed our game plan by focusing on reducing costs, winning share in the marketplace, and delivering for our customers. By successfully implementing these action items, I remain comfortable with the previously communicated guidance of $64 million of adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter, which represents a 15% increase from the same period last year. We continue to focus on deploying the free cash flow we generate to pay down debt and invest in our business. As we were able to in the first quarter of this year, we paid down our debt balance in the second quarter despite closing the Rex acquisition and paying our largest quarterly cash interest payments.

We have recently strengthened our already strong senior management team. Dean Cherry, who has worked with me for more than 20 years, adds depth and experience to our envelope, commercial print and packaging operations. These players are all industry veterans, all of whom have worked with me at prior industry related companies. As we look towards the back half of the year, I remain optimistic on the Company's prospects and financial goals despite the economic headwinds we continue to face. We expect to continue to execute on our game plan of controlling costs and growing our business organically and selectively through strategic additions. I look forward to sharing with our shareholders all of the Company's recent positive successes in more detail on our conference call on August 7th."

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), included in this release are certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and Non-GAAP operating income. These Non- GAAP financial measures are defined above, and should be read in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not presented as an alternative to cash flow from operations, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to reported net income as an indicator of our operating performance. The Non-GAAP financial measures as used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by competitors.

We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA, along with GAAP financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance with that of our competitors and estimating our enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA is also a useful tool in evaluating the core operating results of the Company given the significant variation that can result from, for example, the timing of capital expenditures, the amount of intangible assets recorded or the differences in assets' lives. We also use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate operating performance of our segments, to allocate resources and capital to such segments, to measure performance for incentive compensation programs, and to evaluate future growth opportunities.

Cenveo, headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, is a leader in the management and distribution of print and related product offerings. The Company provides its customers with low-cost solutions within its core businesses of commercial printing and packaging, envelope, form, and label manufacturing, and publisher services; offering one-stop solutions from design through fulfillment. With over 10,000 employees worldwide, Cenveo delivers everyday for its customers through a network of production, fulfillment, content management, and distribution facilities across the globe.

Statements made in this release, other than those concerning historical financial information, may be considered "forward-looking statements," which are based upon current expectations and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. In view of such uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as of the date of this release, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made herein. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management's expectations include, without limitation: (1) our substantial indebtedness impairing our financial condition and limiting our ability to incur additional debt; (2) the terms of our indebtedness imposing significant restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility; (3) the potential to incur additional indebtedness, exacerbating the above factors; (4) cross default provisions in our indebtedness, which could cause all of our debt to become due and payable as a result of a default under an unrelated debt instrument; (5) our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; (6) intense competition in our industry; (7) the absence of long-term customer agreements in our industry, subjecting our business to fluctuations; (8) factors affecting the U.S. postal services impacting demand for our products; (9) increases in paper costs and decreases in its availability; (10) the availability of the Internet and other electronic media affecting demand for our products; (11) our labor relations; (12) compliance with environmental rules and regulations; (13) dependence on key management personnel; and (14) general economic, business and labor conditions. This list of factors is not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact the Company's business. Additional information regarding these and other factors can be found in Cenveo, Inc.'s periodic filings with the SEC, which are available at http://www.cenveo.com/.

Airvana Releases New EV-DO Software Products to Address Rapidly Growing Demand for Mobile Data ServicesNew Release of EV-DO Software Provides Mobile Operators with Greater Capacity and Improved QoS

CHELMSFORD, Mass., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Airvana, Inc. , the company transforming the mobile experience, today announced the release of the company's latest CDMA 1xEV-DO Rev. A software. This release, which was delivered in June, enables mobile operators to more efficiently increase capacity and accelerate the roll-out of next-generation multimedia services. EV-DO is the wireless technology providing the engine of growth for CDMA operators around the world by enabling high-speed mobile Internet, multimedia and entertainment applications.

The release of Airvana's new EV-DO technology enables operators to prepare their networks to support the continuing growth in mobile broadband usage and deliver the services and consistent user experience demanded by subscribers. Specifically, the latest release implements an important upgrade to Airvana's pioneering and patent-pending RNC clustering technology which significantly increases the number of sites that can be incorporated into a cluster. The RNC is a critical network element that manages subscriber sessions, connects users to an operator's IP network and maintains connectivity as users move across cell boundaries. With Airvana's RNC clustering, operators can deploy multiple RNCs without introducing any RNC borders that can cause service interruptions as subscribers cross them. This benefit is especially important for delay-sensitive applications such as push-to-talk and push-to-video. The result is that multiple RNCs behave like a single, virtual RNC that can serve a very large number of subscribers across a large geographic area with an improved mobile broadband experience.

Additionally, Airvana has introduced two important capabilities in the latest release: tiered service levels and multi-carrier load balancing (MCLB). Tiered service levels allow operators to differentiate data service levels based on specified business rules. For example, an operator might choose to offer priority service to subscribers over roamers. MCLB enables operators to use their cell sites more efficiently, and provide more consistent user experience, especially during peak hours. Both features will improve the quality of subscriber sessions for increasingly popular mobile services such as GPS navigation and media streaming.

"Providing a quality user experience is critical to an operator's success in driving the adoption of new services and generating new revenue streams," said David Nowicki, vice president of marketing and product management, Airvana. "We address that with the latest release of our EV-DO technology, which is designed specifically to give operators the technology foundation required to provide services with the most consistent, reliable experience possible."

Airvana has demonstrated consistent success in delivering EV-DO equipment for operators' macro-cellular networks worldwide. The company's award-winning IP-based radio network technology is deployed in over 70 operator networks with access to hundreds of millions of CDMA subscribers worldwide.

About Airvana

Airvana specializes in helping operators to transform the mobile experience for users worldwide. The company's high-performance technology and products, from comprehensive femtocell solutions to core mobile network infrastructure, enable operators to deliver broadband services to mobile devices, independent of physical location. Airvana is headquartered in Chelmsford, Mass., USA, with additional offices in the United Kingdom, China, India, Japan and Korea.

In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Airvana's views as of the date of this press release.

Survey: Companies' Efforts to Shred Sensitive Documents Might Not Cut ItMounting Privacy Laws Have Companies Struggling to Keep Up and Keep Compliant

BOSTON, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to shredding sensitive business documents, leaders of some of America's largest companies are devoting more attention and more money to keeping information safe. But despite the extra effort, many admit unfamiliarity with key federal and state laws governing information privacy, leaving them vulnerable to fines and identity theft.

These are the central findings from a survey of business professionals and managers responsible for safeguarding their company's information. Conducted on behalf of Iron Mountain Incorporated , the global leader in information protection and storage services, the survey targeted companies with annual revenue of at least $750 million.

Perhaps most surprising among the survey's findings is that companies believe they're more familiar with federal requirements for information destruction than they actually are. While nearly three in four respondents (74 percent) express familiarity with federal requirements, fewer than one in three (30 percent) are aware of the Federal Trade Commission's Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) Disposal Rule, one of the top laws governing U.S. businesses on information security and disposal. The FACTA Disposal Rule mandates that organizations properly dispose of papers that contain consumer information through methods such as burning, pulverizing or shredding so that the "information cannot practically be read or reconstructed."

It's not surprising that some companies seem unsure of the law. Over the last five years, a myriad of state and federal legislation like FACTA has been enacted to protect consumers and their sensitive information. Currently 28 states have must-shred laws, and 43 have notification requirements for disclosing privacy breaches. With each new law, companies must revisit their policies and procedures for destroying information-an increasingly difficult task, given the variety and distribution of information across an enterprise. Fifty-nine percent of respondents feel familiar with their existing state laws.

Already overwhelmed, companies face even more rules for protecting information

Some companies will soon have to contend with a new set of FACTA mandates from the FTC. Effective Nov. 1, 2008, financial institutions and creditors must have a formal program for preventing identity theft. Commonly known as the Red Flag Regulations, these new guidelines require companies to identify and account for "red flags," defined by the FTC as "patterns, practices and specific forms of activity that indicate a possible risk of ID theft."

Along with these new regulations, the FTC appears intent on enforcing its Disposal Rule for the first time since its enactment in June 2005. In December, the FTC found against an Illinois-based mortgage company for improperly disposing of loan documents. As a result, the company must undergo a third-party audit every two years over the next 10 years and pay a $50,000 fine for leaving consumers' personal and financial information in and around a Dumpster near its office.

"The FTC is serving notice that it's no longer enough for companies to simply say they have a policy for shredding or information destruction" said Colleen Langevin, a vice president at Iron Mountain. "Now, organizations must prove their policies and procedures actually work. Proving this means demonstrating good-faith efforts to document policies; train employees; audit behavior; and oversee service providers."

While questions over companies' compliance emerged as a key theme of the Iron Mountain survey, findings also lent insight into current behaviors around information destruction. Key findings included:

-- Shredding is a universal practice, but not universally compliant:

Nine in 10 companies outsource their shredding, while more than half (57 percent) also rely on on-site commercial-grade shredding or incineration equipment. But less than one in four report on compliant destruction of consumer information (24%), or audit compliant policies and procedures (23%) based on best industry practices. Companies will need these audit controls to comply with the FACTA requirements.

-- Information destruction receiving greater attention:

One in two respondents (54 percent) say their company's leaders paid more attention over the last year to how their company destroyed and disposed of sensitive information. And nearly one third (30 percent) report their company increased its budget over the same time for information destruction and disposal.

-- Training and policy compliance top companies' data privacy concerns:

For those who have some familiarity with state, federal or pending legislation, nearly one third (30 percent) worry that company policies do not comply with newer legislation or that they will not comply if pending legislation is passed. Twenty-nine percent express concern with getting employees up-to-speed on new requirements.

-- New laws, bad press and customer demand drive data disposal:

Two in three companies (66 percent) say it has become more important to formalize policies and procedures for destroying sensitive information. Those companies cited new laws (63 percent), negative press of data losses (43 percent), customer demand for information security (29 percent) and pressure from industry groups (28 percent) as the top reasons why.

Conducted between Oct. 1, 2007, and Jan. 2, 2008, the Compliant Information Destruction: Inside Corporate America Survey polled 115 business professionals involved in and/or responsible for information privacy at publicly held, for-profit companies with annual revenues of at least $750 million. It has a margin of error of (+/- 9%) at the 95 percent confidence level.

VIASPACE Expands Its Energy Product Line With Exclusive Deal for Fuel Cell Test Stations

PASADENA, Calif., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VSPC) , a company that transforms proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions, announced today that it has entered into a distribution agreement for Fuel Cell Test Stations and carbon based Bi-Polar plates manufactured by GasHub of Singapore.

GasHub is a major manufacturer of high technology products including fuel cell test stations to companies and universities in Singapore. It has also developed promising new carbon-based bi-polar plates. The current standard for bi-polar plates, used to manufacture most fuel cells, is a machined graphite based product. GasHub's new carbon based Bi-polar plates have produced promising results with a much lower cost of manufacture.

Fuel Cell test stations that can test hydrogen, liquid and solid based fuel cells are an expanding portion of the $54 Billion clean energy market. GasHub's tests stations are lower cost options for many countries, such as China, which have large, emerging needs for alternate energy. Hundreds of universities throughout the world are also engaged in fuel cell research, but must deal with the reality of limited budgets when it comes to equipment purchases.

The performance of hydrogen fuel cells using a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) depends on the moisture level of the membrane. The membrane only conducts protons when it is hydrated or moist. The moisture is provided by water vapor in the incoming air or hydrogen stream. VIASPACE already produces the VIASPACE HS-1000 VIASENSOR which provides real-time measurements of the amount of water vapor in these gas streams and can be utilized within a fuel cell test station for that purpose.

VIASPACE CEO Carl Kukkonen stated, "We are very pleased with this new agreement, granting VIASPACE exclusive rights to distribute these products in the U.S. and Asia. The efforts we have put into establishment of a global distribution network now will give us the opportunity to make major expansions to our fuel cell instrument product line without further investment in research and development. They also provide an opportunity to sell a VIASENSOR to every customer we call on to discuss fuel cell test stations as well."

Kukkonen continued, "We are also very excited concerning the carbon based bi-polar plates developed by GasHub. This new technology shows great promise to date and offers a lower cost alternative for this mass produced product used in most fuel cells."

About VIASPACE: Founded in 1998 with the objective of transforming proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions that solve today's complex problems, VIASPACE benefits from important patent and software licenses from Caltech, which manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

AirMedia to Acquire Advertising Business on Gate Bridges in Airports

BEIJING, July 7 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AirMedia Group Inc. , the operator of the largest digital media network in China dedicated to air travel advertising, today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Excel Lead International Limited, or Excel Lead, and 80% of the equity interest in Flying Dragon Media Advertising Co., Ltd., or Flying Dragon, which operate the advertising business on gate bridges in 10 airports in mainland China. The transactions will further expand AirMedia's air travel advertising network to cover the advertising business on gate bridges in airports, and diversify its media resources to include billboard advertisements, which will help AirMedia to capture the growth opportunities in the air travel advertising sector in China. The transactions may also help AirMedia to win some new and important clients, which have customarily advertised through these media resources, and consequently enlarge AirMedia's customer base.

Gate bridges in airports serve as the connections between boarding gates and airplanes, and are therefore the areas through which every air passenger must pass before and after they board the airplanes. Advertising on these gate bridges in airports is an attractive offering and has been well received by advertisers including international brand names.

Through the transactions, AirMedia will obtain the contractual concession rights to place advertisements on gate bridges located in 10 major airports in mainland China, including Terminals 1 and 2 of Beijing Capital International Airport and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. The acquisition of Excel Lead is expected to close in July 2008 first, subject to various customary closing conditions and three earnout closings by the end of 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The transactions are expected to be accretive to AirMedia's earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis starting in 2008.

Commenting on the transactions, Herman Man Guo, Chairman and CEO of AirMedia noted, ''The transactions further solidify our leading position in China's dynamic air travel advertising sector, and evidence our ability to make the strategic acquisition that may expand our network and provide a broader range of advertising opportunities to our clients. I believe that the transactions will allow us to further capture the attractive growth opportunities in China's air travel advertising sector. We will continue to look for additional opportunities to further consolidate the fragmented traditional air travel advertising market and to achieve our mission of becoming a full-scale air travel advertising provider in China.''

Transaction Details

On July 4, 2008, AirMedia Group, Inc. entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Excel Lead from its owner, with the contingent consideration based on the after-tax net profit performance of Excel Lead in the second half of 2008, the full year of 2009 and 2010, respectively, up to RMB189.3 million in cash and 1,530,950 ordinary shares of AirMedia, which equal to 765,475 ADSs of AirMedia, or up to RMB275.5 million in cash only. On July 7, 2008, Beijing AirMedia Advertising Co., Ltd., a consolidated affiliate of AirMedia Group Inc., entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 80% of the equity interest in Flying Dragon from its owners with a consideration of RMB10 million in cash.

Metro Law Enforcement Agencies in Tennessee Choose the ICOP Model 20/20(R)-WCombined Fleets of these Agencies Number More than 800 Patrol Cars

LENEXA, Kan., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ICOP Digital, Inc. , an industry-leading company engaged in advancing digital surveillance solutions, today announced that following an extensive review process involving multiple competitive digital in-car video systems, a city police department and county Sheriff's office serving one of the largest metropolitan areas in the State of Tennessee have selected the ICOP Model 20/20(R)-W for deployment in their respective fleets. Collectively, these agencies operate over 800 patrol cars.

Following receipt of an initial purchase order issued by this Tennessee city, ICOP shipped a total of 10 units to the noted agencies. Following the determination of logistical protocols for installation and officer training, phased fleet deployment of the ICOP Model 20/20-W in both agencies' patrol fleets is expected to commence as funding becomes available.

"We are particularly proud that ICOP has won these coveted metro agencies as new customers following what was their in-depth assessment of the ICOP Model 20/20-W in head to head field tests with other leading competitive offerings; it is this type of welcomed scrutiny that helps to validate the fact that the superior performance, functionality and user benefits of the ICOP Model 20/20-W simply cannot be matched. Moreover, with the emergence of ICOP LIVE(TM) as an enabling technology of choice for empowering law enforcement with real time situational awareness through live streaming of audio and video to and from patrol cars, the competitive differentiation and enhanced value proposition of the ICOP Model 20/20-W became even more pronounced when comparing ICOP's solution to other competitive alternatives," stated Dave Owen, Chairman and CEO of ICOP.

JDSU Test Solutions Selected by Carphone Warehouse NetworksUK Service Provider Taps JDSU Service Assurance Solutions to Support Wide-scale Deployment of Next Generation Network and Advanced IP/Broadband Services

MILPITAS, Calif., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced it has entered into a contract to provide service assurance test solutions to The Carphone Warehouse Networks (CPWN), one of the largest and most advanced telecom networks in the UK, and a wholly-owned division of the fixed line and broadband business of The Carphone Warehouse (CPW) Group plc. The JDSU service assurance system, NetComplete, will support the design, implementation and management of the Next Generation Network (NGN) for CPWN, covering both its residential and business customers via local loop unbundling.

The industry-leading JDSU NetComplete Broadband/IP test solution and services were chosen by CPWN after a competitive, extensive evaluation process which determined JDSU's solution to be their best option for increasing operational efficiency. CPWN also noted JDSU's extensive broadband test and performance monitoring experience in the UK. CPWN selected the JDSU NetComplete QT-200 xDSL/triple-play probe and on-board applications together with NetAnalyst software for its sophistication, service history and suite of available applications.

The CPW Group has over 4 million customer lines across its TalkTalk, AOL Broadband and Opal brands including over 2.7 million residential broadband customers. This makes CPW the third largest broadband supplier in the UK. The JDSU solution will be deployed at more than 1,600 exchanges for TalkTalk, CPW's ISP operation, and will play a significant role in the CPWN UK-wide fault management process carried out at their new service management centre (SMC) at Irlam, Manchester. CPWN staff and technicians will use the solution to proactively troubleshoot complex physical and service layer faults, improve diagnostics accuracy, reduce time-to-repair and trouble ticket volume, as well as help demarcate problems between CPW and BT. In addition, the JDSU NetAnalyst Test Operating System (OS), a centralised test management platform, is being used as middleware between the CPWN front office OS and the QT-200.

JDSU was also awarded an expansion contract for an identical solution to support the AOL Broadband business as it further extends its UK service footprint.

"The Carphone Warehouse Networks is committed to ensuring our customers enjoy a reliable next generation network that delivers quality voice and broadband services," said Neil McArthur, chief executive of The Carphone Warehouse Networks. "With complete performance monitoring and fault management capabilities by JDSU, we can focus on further improvements on network quality and the customer experience as we seek to become a market leader not only on price but also on service and innovation."

NetComplete's range of solutions comprises probes and software for fixed and mobile networks, as well as quality of service and quality of experience multi-play solutions for the home.

"JDSU is proud to have been selected by CPWN to help ensure excellent network performance and service quality," said Tom Waechter, president of JDSU's Communications Test & Measurement business segment. "Our test solutions have a proven track record since 2003 in the UK and Europe, helping service providers resolve complex faults correctly the first time, lowering customer churn, improving quality of service and reducing mean-time-to-repair. We also help customers achieve substantive business gains when delivering advanced IP/broadband-based services."

The NGN effort led by CPWN is evolving rapidly and includes a 40G core that will allow the business to scale up capacity and address customers' growing demands for broadband. Two thirds of all CPW's broadband customers are now on its network and the business expects to increase this number to 80% by March 2009.

NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its efforts to reinvent the way audiences experience content and advertising, MTV Networks (MTVN), a unit of Viacom , is partnering with Cadbury, the makers of Sour Patch(R) Kids soft & chewy candy, and DISH Network Corporation to launch its first-ever advertiser-supported interactive television campaign.

iTV voting and polling presented by Cadbury's Sour Patch Kids will be enabled during The N's all-new reality series, "Queen Bees," which premieres Friday, July 11 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The campaign will be available exclusively in DISH Network(R) homes nationwide.

"We're working hard to reinvent commercial time as content time, and interactive television is emerging as a strong tool for fostering engagement with our audiences, while providing greater accountability to marketers," said Hank Close, President, U.S. Ad Sales, MTVN. "This partnership signals that we're open for business in iTV advertising, and we're excited to step into the marketplace with great partners like DISH Network and Cadbury."

"By participating in this exciting and innovative opportunity, we're taking our Sour Patch brand advertising to the next level," said Sebastian Genesio, Sour Patch marketing director. "The content on Queen Bees is a natural fit for Sour Patch and reinforces the brand's sour then sweet brand equity in a target-right medium."

The "Queen Bees" campaign will give audiences the unique opportunity to interact directly with television content during show time. Throughout the show, viewers will be prompted with three different sets of questions and results on the bottom third of their screens: "Fill in the Blank," "Sour or Sweet" and "Star Chart Play Along." The questions will be presented before commercial breaks and the voting results will appear immediately following the commercial break, encouraging viewer retention throughout the pod. Sour Patch Kids' branding will be incorporated throughout the iTV application. Additionally, The N will weave Sour Patch Kids' product attributes into one question each episode.

"Our audiences really respond to iTV and we've been out in front with our distribution partners, putting our brands behind advancing this emerging technology," said Denise Dahldorf, Executive Vice President, Content Distribution and Marketing, MTVN. "DISH Network has been an industry leader in iTV, and this partnership brings the power of our programming to their innovative platform."

"For more than seven years, DISH Network has been a leader in iTV and we are excited to continue our innovative work with MTV Networks and Cadbury to build the next platform of interactivity between audience, programmer and marketer," said Michael Kelly, Executive Vice President for DISH Network. "'Queen Bees' unique application creates a new level of connectivity which compliments the programming, pleases the viewer and provides valuable data for the client."

"Queen Bees" is an ideal program for iTV, as 72 percent of reality TV watchers demand content interaction, according to a Harris Interactive study from February 2008. The eight-episode series takes a look at seven self- centered, narcissistic "mean girls," who have been nominated by family and friends in the hopes that they will better themselves from the inside out. While the girls think they are competing to be the biggest diva in the house, they quickly learn that they are there because people want them to change.

The "Queen Bees" campaign furthers MTVN's leadership in interactive television. When the company first started iTV polling in September 2006 on The N's "Degrassi: The Next Generation," there was a 30 to 40 percent viewer participation rate, well above the industry average of 10 to 15 percent. Spike TV's 5th Annual "Video Game Awards" received a 20 percent increase in ratings when the program introduced iTV polling in December 2007. There was a 25 to 30 percent participation rate for the awards show and viewers spent an average of 30 minutes with the application.

Lockheed Martin's Aegis Fire Control System Guides New Anti-Air Warfare Missile to Successful Intercept

MOORESTOWN, N.J., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin's Aegis Fire Control System successfully launched a Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) and guided it to a successful intercept of an airborne drone target during a U.S. Navy test at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico in late June.

"The Aegis heritage is one of continuous evolution to pace the threat," said Orlando Carvalho, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin's Surface/Sea-Based Missile Defense Systems business. "This successful test is yet one more step forward in Aegis' proud history in delivering new capabilities and engineering new technologies. The SM-6 is another arrow in the Aegis quiver, which includes missiles for anti-air warfare, ballistic missile defense, anti-submarine warfare and land attack."

The Aegis Fire Control System (FCS) at WSMR incorporates commercial off-the-shelf computing technology and Aegis Open Architecture computer program products, and is a subset of the Aegis Open Architecture weapon system that will be installed on the Ticonderoga-class cruisers as part of the U.S. Navy's cruiser modernization program.

In the WSMR test environment, the Aegis FCS uses the same weapon control, command and decision programs and sensors that are part of Aegis Open Architecture. In addition to the new capabilities delivered with Aegis Open Architecture, the commercial off-the-shelf components integrated within an open architecture supports easy upgrades as new technologies become available. Open architecture enables Aegis to evolve by incorporating state-of-the-art capabilities in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

In the recent test, the SM-6 missile was launched from a Lockheed Martin-developed Baseline VII MK 41 Vertical Launcher System (VLS). The Baseline VII VLS at WSMR provides full commonality with the latest fleet systems.

The Navy installed both systems at WSMR in March 2007. Together, they serve as a comprehensive land-based test site to verify missile integration before the respective newly developed capability is sent to sea. Prior to the SM-6 test, the Aegis Fire Control System completed a successful launch and in-flight guidance of an SM-2 Block IIIB missile in December 2007.

The Navy is developing the SM-6 to meet its requirement for an extended range anti-air warfare missile. The missile will be integrated into the Aegis Modernization program scheduled for installation on Arleigh Burke-class Aegis-equipped destroyers beginning in 2012.

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

Ingram Micro Offers New 'Live Online' Training, Certifications and Virtual Labs to Save Partners Time, Money and Travel CostsDistributor's VPN Dynamics subsidiary offers channel partners new, high-end technical training, certifications and virtual labs from major manufacturers Citrix Systems, CheckPoint Software Technologies, Juniper Networks, Meru, SonicWALL, VMware and Websense

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Ingram Micro today announced a lineup of new and affordable "Live Online" training, certifications and virtual labs offered by VPN Dynamics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ingram Micro. A complete list of the Live Online training, which includes several of the industry's leading networking, security and virtualization manufacturers, is available at http://www.vpndynamics.com/.

According to Ken Bast, vice president, vendor management, Ingram Micro U.S., these new, instructor-led online classrooms will minimize travel expenses and make it much easier and more cost-effective for service providers to train technicians and end-users on high-demand technologies, such as networking, security and virtualization.

"Our channel partners can also resell these offerings to their end-user clients, which in turn helps to build up their service margins and strengthen their role as the trusted IT provider," Bast says.

The new Live Online training, certifications and virtual lab courses are available now to Ingram Micro solution provider partners in the U.S. and Canada. All Live Online courses are conducted in real-time and led by highly trained instructors, and include 24 hours of sandbox time so participants can demo the equipment at leisure. Featured manufacturers include Citrix Systems, CheckPoint Software Technologies, Juniper Networks, Meru, SonicWALL, VMware, and Websense.

To ensure participants receive a positive, one-on-one training experience, all online classrooms are kept small (six people or fewer per class) and are backed by VPN Dynamics' Live Online Guarantee: If a participant is not satisfied with the online training, he or she will receive a voucher to retake the class in person at the Santa Clara training facilities.

"The right training and certifications can make all the difference for solution providers who are actively selling higher-end technologies, such as network infrastructure, security and server virtualization," says Bast. "Whether it is better pricing, more qualified leads, or stronger support resources such as MDFs and field engineers, there's no question that vendors invest in the partners who invest in them. Equally important is the business value training brings to solution providers by way of expertise, advantage, and the keen ability to close deals and align the business need with the right technology solution."

"The training our technicians receive through VPN Dynamics is top-notch," says David L. Prince, president of Databranch, Inc., an Olean, N.Y.-based SonicWALL partner and member of Ingram Micro's VentureTech Network. "These new online training courses and virtual labs come at a perfect time -- especially given the rise in travel costs. Training our technicians is an ongoing, but necessary investment that holds a significant ROI for us and our clients. It's great to have a partner like Ingram Micro who recognizes the necessity, but also looks for ways to make it easier -- and in this case, more profitable -- to extend our expertise and value."

Atmel Introduces a Touch Controller for Slider and Buttons With Integrated LED Control and GPIO FunctionsFirst of a new generation of capacitive touch sense ICs

SOUTHAMPTON, England, July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atmel(C) Corporation announced today the AT42QT2160 -- a touch controller IC combining touch key and touch slider functions in a single device. The AT42QT2160 can control up to 16 individual touch keys with a slider comprising between 2 and 8 of the touch key channels. In addition, the chip can also control up to 11 LEDs through a PWM output function that is controlled by the host, eliminating the need for an external LED controller.

With this combination of functions, this device is ideal for use as a multimedia HMI controller in mobile phones and consumer applications, such as personal media players, where it saves space, minimizes design time and allows the designer creative flexibility in laying out control keys. With its wide voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V DC) and low power requirements, it is well suited for other battery-driven applications, such as digital still cameras, PDA's or handheld gaming devices.

The AT42QT2160 uses Quantum Research Group's (acquired by Atmel in March 2008) patented charge-transfer technology. This provides robust and reliable performance, high immunity to EMI through spread-spectrum modulation and filtering algorithms, calibration of the device over life and user-defined sensitivity thresholds for individual keys. An additional patented function, adjacent key suppression (AKS), intelligently suppresses signals present from nearby keys so that only intended keys register a touch.

The AT42QT2160 has 3 GPIOs with PWM capability and a further 8 shared ports that provide additional standard outputs for the host without adding cost or using an extra I/O expansion device with PWM capability. Host configurability is achieved via a 2-wire interface (I(2)C compatible). To save system power, the chip provides a system Multi-Input Wake-up (MIWU) function. This can trigger a reaction from the host or other system components via the 2-wire interface, or using a dedicated output pin, when pre-defined input signals levels are reached. Touch button sensor electrodes, of arbitrary size (>6 x 6 mm) and shape, are usually formed from copper pads on the printed circuit board or a flexible circuit. The touch surface can be made from glass up to 3mm in thickness or plastic, up to 2.5mm thick.

Peter Jones, Managing Director of Atmel's MCU Business Unit, commented, "This is the first of many new products that we will launch in the next year as we accelerate our R&D in touch technology to capitalize on one of the fastest growing embedded applications. We expect to see up to 60 models of mobile phones adopting our technology over the next 12 months and the increasing use of touch controls in everything from laptop PCs to consumer electronics. It's a very exciting time to be in this business."

The AT42QT2160 is the latest addition to Atmel's comprehensive range of capacitive touch controllers based on Quantum Research Group's charge-transfer technology. These include QTouch(TM) controllers for single and multiple touch buttons, touch sliders and touch wheels, together with QMatrix(TM) devices for higher density matrix key panels.

Availability and Pricing

Samples of the AT42QT2160 IC are available now in a 28-pin, 4 x 4mm QFN package. Pricing for the part is $0.98 each for quantities of 100ku per year. A demonstration board for development support is also available.

SAIC Successfully Tests Advanced Modular Gun Demonstrator for Navy Project

SAN DIEGO and McLEAN, Va., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Science Applications International Corporation today announced that it has successfully tested the Advanced Modular Gun Demonstrator (AMGD) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centers' Wallops Flight Facility, located in Wallops Island, Va.

The AMGD is the result of a five-year contract with the U.S. Navy, which has a value of more than $11 million. Under the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS), 3C sponsored contract, SAIC engineers worked with Naval Surface Warfare Center - Dahlgren and Indian Head Divisions to develop a high-performance, modular, large-caliber, powder test gun.

During testing, the AMG achieved a successful shot of an unassisted round, which traveled more than 85 statutory miles. The distance was measured by Wallops Flight Facility tracking systems. Early results indicate a new record may have been set for distance of a gun-launched projectile.

The test verified the AMGD's capability as a technology demonstrator and test platform for the development of long-range projectiles that require exo-atmospheric flight, aerodynamic heating and the ability to overcome critical re-entry. The AMGD demonstrated the ability to launch projectiles to extended ranges of more than 85 statutory miles with exo-atmospheric altitudes in excess of 150,000 feet. The test also validated the demonstration teams' abilities to collect measurements from the gun system as well as to transmit heating and flight data from the projectile to a ground receiving station.

"The AMGD provides the defense community with a test platform for advanced gun technology to help meet future needs identified by the military," said Tom Baybrook, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
