Duracell Introduces New Products to Keep Music Lovers and Frequent Flyers Powered On-the-Go

BETHEL, Conn., July 24, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent survey showed that 54 percent of U.S. air travelers admit to at least one instance of sitting on the floor to charge a device through an airport power outlet.(1) Duracell(R) today introduced two portable power solutions to help people on-the-go stand up to their personal power needs.

The Duracell(R) My Pocket Charger and the Duracell(R) PowerSource Mini are pocket-sized power sources for popular devices such as a cell phone, BlackBerry(R) and MP3 player. They're small and versatile, making them especially convenient for travelers looking for ways to reduce the number of extra cords, chargers and device-specific batteries required for mobile devices. Each My Pocket Charger comes with two Duracell(R) CopperTop AA batteries, and the Duracell(R) PowerSource Mini's lithium-ion battery can be recharged through a lightweight AC charger, through a vehicle's DC socket, or through a computer's USB port.

The Duracell(R) My Pocket Charger is available in two models. One model features a connector for MP3 players and will provide up to 24 hours of music on the latest iPod(R) Nano; the other model features a connector for all BlackBerry(R) models and the newest Motorola(R) phones, and will provide up to one hour of talk time. The Duracell(R) PowerSource Mini includes a mini USB pivot arm that allows users to connect directly to a device without needing to carry a charge cable. A second USB port allows users to power two devices at once.

Americans today are more connected to their mobile devices than ever before, with 87 percent of U.S. households owning a cell phone, and an estimated 88.2 million MP3 players currently in use.(2) More surprisingly, a recent study commissioned by Xantrex Technology Inc. reveals the lengths travelers will go to power up while on the go. Results of the study show that 79 percent of air travelers admit that it is important to have their own portable power for their devices while traveling, yet over half of the survey respondents, 54 percent, reported sitting on the floor to use an airport's power outlet and 31 percent say they have walked to a different terminal to find an outlet.(1) In the survey, 25 percent of air travelers would even give up a first class seat in exchange for a mobile power source.

"Everyone wants their charge to last a little longer, and the Duracell My Pocket Charger and PowerSource Mini will provide the personal power insurance every road warrior needs," said Rick June, Duracell Vice President and General Manager. "Our portable devices give us the freedom to work, communicate and be entertained from almost any location. These charging solutions extend that freedom when you can't be near a power outlet."

These power solutions are available online and at select mass and specialty retail stores nationwide. Visit http://www.duracellpower.com/ to learn about the full line of products.

These new products are being introduced through Duracell's business alliance with Xantrex Technology, Inc., which was announced March 2007. An innovator in portable power and backup power products, Xantrex solutions allow customers to operate and charge mobile electronic devices such as laptop computers, PDAs, cell phones and more, so they can stay productive when on the go. Xantrex also provides portable and home emergency backup power sources, and smart charging capabilities for automotive batteries.

Latin American Users Recognize Mobility as Productivity, Personal Balance Tool: IDCThanks to Mobile Devices' Increasing Availability and Continuing Accessibility for Professional Users, Latin American Users are Joining the Mobility Wave Prevailing in Developed Markets

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With a 52% service revenue share in the telecommunications market, far exceeding that of fixed telephony (35%), mobile telephony services, including voice and data, are the industry's top performer in Latin America, and show the regional users' need to be continually connected.

These conclusions were addressed by IDC Latin America Telecom Director Romina Adduci during the conference hosted by Nokia in Buenos Aires around the new Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 mobile devices, proposing an ideal balance between personal and professional life.

This mobile services growth is being mainly supported by access to personal and professional communication resources, ranging from email solutions, messaging and Internet navigation to more complex, business-related applications, including CRM, ERP, Workforce Automation, etc., which are supported by the corporate intranet in the mobile environment.

Such mobilization is favored by a growing user eagerness and willingness to make their mobile devices their core communication tool. According to a survey conducted by IDC, this kind of device easily tops the list of Latin American aspirations when selecting among other core, daily routine items, including the wallet, the keys, etc.

For Latin American users, the entertainment and multimedia experience leads personal aspirations. But, while major interest for innovative communication forms is personal, real adoption occurs through the corporate world, basically for budgetary reasons.

The IDC study states that having a corporate device allowing users to stay online on the move, wherever they are, is conducive to enhancing the individual's communication experience significantly. Latin American users see that mobility brings more efficiencies, productivity and access to resources in multiple environments, thus contributing to balancing and even improving their quality of life, because they are able to manage their communication time and space.

According to the report, mobility is growing in Latin America - a trend that will continue to be on the rise as long as both users have more access to devices meeting their resource access expectations, and service plans are made more available enabling permanent connectivity at competitive prices.

About Nokia

Nokia is the world leader in mobility, driving the transformation and growth of the converging Internet and communications industries. We make a wide range of mobile devices with services and software that enable people to experience music, navigation, video, television, imaging, games, business mobility and more. Developing and growing our offering of consumer Internet services, as well as our enterprise solutions and software, is a key area of focus.

Facebook users will have the option to play alone or online against up to four or eight friends. The game will offer two single player modes -- Banana Solitaire and Single Player Banana Cafe -- in which players compete in a timed race to place letters in order to beat their own or their friends' best times.

Compuware Covisint Exec Predicts 'Future of Identities' at FORTUNE Brainstorm: Tech ConferenceIdentity Guru David Miller Introduces "Identity Custodian" Concept, Where Only One Username and One Password Combo Will Securely Open Entire Internet

HALF MOON BAY, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation , today announced that the Chief Security Officer from its Covisint Corp. subsidiary articulated his vision for a single-password society at FORTUNE Brainstorm: Tech conference. Miller discussed his "identity custodian" approach to simplifying the management of the large and growing number of username and password combinations that burden virtually all aspects of online life and productivity.

Miller discussed how, in the future, an individual will need only one username and one password to securely open the entire Internet. "Today, an individual's identity is married to his or her data, which means an ever-growing amount of username and password combinations," said Miller. "In the future, one's actual identity will be divorced from the data and have a life of its own that is prized by others. Most importantly, the individual will hold total control as to who gets access and who is kept at bay, making many of today's identity problems nonexistent."

FORTUNE Brainstorm Tech is an invitation-only event for approximately 300 of the world's leading business executives who recognize that their company's future depends on understanding the trends at the core of technology. The distinguished panel of experts in which Miller participated was moderated by FORTUNE technology writer Jessi Hempel. Also participating were Arthur Coviello, Jr., Executive Vice President of EMC and president of its RSA division; Mike Capellas, Chairman and CEO of First Data; Chris Kelly, Chief Privacy Officer and Head Of Global Public Policy for Facebook; and Kevin Kelly, "Senior Maverick" from Wired magazine.

Miller went on to predict that there will be a few organizations, called "identity custodians," that will handle and manage -- for a small, ongoing fee -- all of the identity and access challenges consumers face today. "Covisint has already solved this problem for entire communities of business users. The next step is to bring this exciting technology to consumers, which is closer than many think."

"Brainstorm: Tech is all about fresh, creative thinking regarding technology that improves society. Covisint's Dave Miller is an identity visionary who thinks creatively about how individuals interact with technology, organizations and other people," said David Kirkpatrick, Senior Editor, Internet and Technology for FORTUNE. "Miller has good ideas about how identity management can improve lives and free people from the unwieldy and confusing system in place today."

Covisint turns the extended enterprise into a competitive advantage for 45,800 organizations worldwide. Covisint's highly available platform provides an on-demand infrastructure for secure collaboration, interoperability and access to information. Covisint streamlines and automates business processes, globally connecting business communities, organizations and systems in the automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services industries, as well as the public sector.

Real Estate Franchisor Chooses Microsoft Dynamics CRM to Integrate Specialized Applications and Track Three-Way Sales CycleHomeVestors anticipates Microsoft technology will bring "wow" factor to its franchise sales and retention efforts.

REDMOND, Wash., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced that HomeVestors of America Inc., recognized nationally for its slogan "We Buy Ugly Houses," has chosen Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to provide a common platform for all its corporate and franchisee applications.

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

Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides powerful, role-based customer relationship management capabilities and will be especially valuable to HomeVestors in its efforts to track a three-way sales cycle. Headquartered in Dallas, HomeVestors has 65 corporate employees and 240 franchisees who buy homes in need of repair, rehab the houses and sell them to consumers. The company must first track leads from the Internet and other sources and the purchase of those houses by its franchisees. Then it needs to track the rehabbing process. Finally, it must track the sales to home purchasers.

"No other single platform could do all that," said David Hicks, vice president of operations at HomeVestors.

The company will use Microsoft Dynamics CRM to integrate a number of specialized Web-based applications for functions such as evaluating property, determining repair estimates and distributing leads to franchisees. Until now, recording information in those systems required multiple entries and manual processes.

Moreover, the company's franchisees had developed a variety of systems on their own to handle their tracking requirements, and the corporate organization could not communicate with those systems directly.

"We needed a solution that would enable us to have all of our franchisees on a similar platform to train them, to work together and to give us in corporate a way to help them be more effective in their markets," Hicks said.

HomeVestors will integrate Microsoft Dynamics CRM with the company's current Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Office solutions. All of its franchisees use Outlook and Office.

According to Hicks, "One of the biggest reasons we chose the Microsoft Dynamics solution was its ability to integrate with our other Microsoft tools. As our franchisees were familiar with Outlook, we felt they could pick up Microsoft Dynamics CRM very quickly."

To determine its needs, HomeVestors and its consultant developed a list of 15 potential solutions, which was narrowed to three that HomeVestors considered in detail. The two finalists were Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SugarCRM Inc. open source software.

"We knew that Microsoft Dynamics CRM, rather than open source, would be a world-class solution for us," said Paul D'Angelo, director of IT at HomeVestors. "There is a lot of competition in the house-buying market, and we are always looking for additional tools that will convince potential franchisees to join our network. We were looking for a 'wow' factor, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM will offer that."

D'Angelo also cited the ability to have systemwide statistics, share best practices among franchisees and enable franchise owners to compare their performance with that of other franchisees as reasons for the company's selection of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

HomeVestors is working with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Tribridge to implement its new technology. HomeVestors will rely heavily on Microsoft Dynamics CRM's workflow and reporting capabilities, and it will call on Tribridge to customize the solution to meet the needs for integrating its industry-specific applications and to track the three distinct sales cycles through which the company operates.

HomeVestors expects that Microsoft Dynamics CRM will produce numerous benefits for the corporate office and franchisees alike:

-- Support for company growth. HomeVestors expects that Microsoft Dynamics CRM will provide franchisees with the ability to track and meet their goals in a much better fashion than before, and will allow the corporate office to track nationwide those franchisees who are excelling and more quickly identify and help those who are falling behind. Consequently, the company expects to improve its franchisee retention. Further, the Microsoft solution will help with company sales by offering advanced technology to prospective franchisees.

-- Cost savings. Individual franchisees have spent considerable resources developing and maintaining custom tracking solutions.

"They will save thousands of dollars in writing applications, loading up servers and creating portals to develop systems that won't do a fraction of what this one will do," Hicks said.

-- Time savings. Previously, when leads came in through the Internet via e-mail, franchisees would have to re-enter each lead in their own system. Because Microsoft Dynamics CRM integrates with Microsoft Office Outlook, those leads will now populate the database automatically, saving two or three points of manual entry.

-- Better marketing campaigns. Microsoft Dynamics CRM will allow HomeVestors to track its marketing campaigns to determine which ones are successful, improving the effectiveness of its overall marketing effort. The technology also allows incoming calls to be associated with specific mailings to indicate the likely source that stimulated the call.

-- Improved accuracy. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM eliminating the need to enter the same data multiple times, the chances for error will decrease. The company also expects to more accurately track its franchisees' metrics, which previously were compiled and reported by hand and then coordinated manually. Now the numbers of appointments, offers made, sales and other metrics will be tracked automatically.

-- Improved revenue. HomeVestors believes its new Microsoft Dynamics solution will help franchisees create sales that otherwise wouldn't materialize. Often, for instance, an investor is looking for a house of a particular size and floor plan in a specific ZIP code; Microsoft Dynamics CRM will allow HomeVestors to match that investor's request automatically with appropriate houses that become available.

-- Easier reporting. Customized reports and a friendly interface will likely lead to improved reporting compared with the previous methods. For example, the company can create a report comparing the average time required for various franchisees to sell a house so that it can discover the people who are best at turning property rapidly. Also, previously reports on the numbers of offers made on houses were available only monthly, on the 5th or 6th of the ensuing month. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, managers can see the number of offers that were made the previous day, as well as the number of appointments set by individual franchisees for the current and following days.

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM will help our franchisees better manage their business and be more profitable," Hicks said. "In addition, it will furnish the corporate office with considerable data to track and provide the kind of technology that will attract entrepreneurs looking for a franchise."

Hicks said the ability to share metrics and best practices will help franchisees grow, and in turn will help the corporate organization to grow.

"Franchise organizations find particular benefits in Microsoft Dynamics CRM because it unifies the organization and provides detailed business intelligence to the franchisees and corporate headquarters alike," said Michael Park, corporate vice president for Microsoft's U.S. Dynamics business. "As a result, the franchise network becomes stronger, more efficient and more attractive to franchisees."

Pediatric Study Finds 21st Century Non-Contact Thermometer as Accurate as Conventional ThermometersRevolutionary thermometer designed to take body temperature, for home and clinical use

WESTON, Fla., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kidz-Med, Inc. (subsidiary of American Scientific Resources Inc. Pink Sheets: ASFX), United States distributor of the Thermofocus(R) 5-in-1 non-contact thermometer, is pleased to announce the results of a clinical study conducted by the Second Children's Clinic of the University of Milan, in Milan, Italy, which proves that the Thermofocus(R) measures body temperature in infants and children accurately and safely, and also produces results comparable with conventional thermometers.

The Thermofocus(R) non-contact infrared thermometer, which is designed to take a temperature reading in a second from the temporal artery on the forehead, is available online at Kidz-Med, Inc. (http://www.kidzmed.com/).

The study compared the 21st Century thermometer, billed as the first at distance, clinical thermometer in the world

(http://www.kidzmed.com/ccp0-prodshow/01500.html), to commercially available infrared and digital thermometers, that take oral, rectal, ear, and armpit readings.

The study concludes (http://www.kidzmed.com/pdfs/Clinical%20Study_Minerva%20Pediatrica_2007.pdf ), "Measuring body temperature with a non-contact infrared radiation device is completely safe and provides correct, reliable measurement of body temperature at different body sites without skin contact. This last feature is particularly advantageous for ambulatories and emergency department services where modes of transmission of disease need to be strictly controlled."

CEO of American Scientific Resources, Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta is responsible for bringing the revolutionary device to the United States.

Dr. Tirotta says, "This scientific data validates the reasons why the general public can trust the Thermofocus thermometer as an accurate and safe way to take a child's temperature. By taking a temperature quickly, easily and effectively, this thermometer provides a trauma-free experience to the child and parent or caregiver alike."

The Thermofocus(R) 5-in-1 non-contact thermometer takes an accurate temperature in one second, and has multiple uses that include taking readings of food, bath water, room temperature and baby's bottle. It is recommended by doctors and pediatricians throughout the UK, Europe and Asia and has even been used by medical personnel in Asia during the SARS epidemic (See BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2986469.stm).

The existing convertible notes can be put to the Company on December 16, 2008 and have a principal amount outstanding of approximately $253 million.

John S. Rego, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "Refinancing our existing debt has been a key priority for the Company. We believe this new financing will provide Vonage with the solid financial foundation to continue to grow our business profitably."

Turkey Deploys Final Phase of Lockheed Martin's Vessel Traffic Management Information System

BALTIMORE, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the world's most challenging navigable waterways became safer and more secure recently when the Turkish government deployed the final phase of the Lockheed Martin Vessel Traffic Management Information System (VTMIS) for the Turkish Straits.

This final phase of the system's deployment included the addition of three new remote sensor sites to provide coverage of the Marmara Sea and entrance to the Canakkale Straits. Turkey initially rolled out the first phase of the system in 2003 when it deployed Lockheed Martin's Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system for the Istanbul and Canakkale Straits.

Lockheed Martin's VTMIS provides the Turkish Ministry of Transportation with a comprehensive picture of the existing and developing maritime traffic situation, promotes safer navigation, lessens the possibility of accidents and increases search and rescue capability. Internationally recognized as one of the largest VTMIS in the world, the entire system now provides Turkey with complete coverage from the Black Sea entrance through the Istanbul Strait to the Marmara Sea and through the Canakkale Strait.

"The Turkish Straits carries substantial safety risks for navigation, property, life and environment because of heavy national and international marine traffic," according to a statement issued by the Directorate General of Coastal Safety. "Approximately 155 vessels pass through the Istanbul Strait daily and 135 vessels through the Canakkale Strait. The Turkish Straits VTS is the first in Turkey and is managed by the Coastal Safety Administration. The system offers many features. The past five years of operation has shown that the VTS was successful in reducing the risk of marine accidents and providing more efficient vessel traffic management."

The Lockheed Martin system features a network of remote sensor sites consisting of sophisticated radars, comprehensive camera packages, radio direction finders (RDF) and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), as well as Doppler current and salinity sensors, surface water measurement and automatic weather stations. The remote sensor sites send real-time information via an integrated Wide Area Network to the Vessel Traffic Control centers in Istanbul and Canakkale.

"Lockheed Martin is a world leader in maritime systems design and systems integration," said Dan Schultz, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin's Baltimore-based business. "By integrating advanced sensor technologies with our maritime command and control systems, Lockheed Martin is providing Turkey with one comprehensive system, enabling the Ministry of Transportation to process and share information to enhance safer navigation."

Lockheed Martin develops innovative solutions in homeland security areas of critical infrastructure protection, port security, coastal and border surveillance, maritime domain awareness and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) detection.

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.

J.D. Power and Associates Reports: Flat-Rate Service Plans With Unlimited Minutes Generate Dramatically Higher Satisfaction Levels Among Prepaid Wireless CustomersMetroPCS Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Prepaid Wireless Users

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Overall satisfaction among prepaid wireless customers who subscribe to flat-rate plans with unlimited minutes is considerably higher than that of customers who subscribe to per-minute price plans, primarily due to cost advantages associated with flat-rate plans, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 U.S. Wireless Prepaid Customer Satisfaction Study(SM) released today.

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

Now in its third year, the study measures customer satisfaction with current prepaid wireless service across seven key factors. In order of importance, they are: call quality (24%); company image (19%); cost of service (17%); account management (15%); initial activation (11%); service plan options (8%); and customer service (6%).

The study finds that overall satisfaction among prepaid wireless customers that subscribe to flat-rate pricing plans with unlimited minutes is 764 on a 1,000-point scale, which is considerably higher than that of subscribers of traditional per-minute pricing plans (717, on average). This gap in satisfaction is primarily driven by differences in the cost of service, as well as by the benefit of unlimited minutes available in flat-rate plans. In particular, unlimited-plan customers report higher satisfaction levels with the amount of airtime minutes offered for the price paid, the overall cost-per-minute charges and the cost per transaction to refill minutes in their account.

"Prepaid customers are clearly responding favorably to these unique service plan options, as they provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional price-per-minute plans that are typically offered and allow customers freedom from worrying about being charged extra fees for making too many calls within a given time period," said Kirk Parsons, senior director of wireless services at J.D. Power and Associates. "Although plans with unlimited minutes typically have geographic restrictions for placing and receiving wireless calls, they still fulfill customer expectations and tend to meet a specific service need better than other wireless plans. In fact, 46 percent of unlimited plan customers have completely replaced their traditional landline phone with wireless service, compared with only 13 percent of traditional pay-as-you-go customers."

The study also finds that satisfaction ratings for the initial activation process also vary greatly between customers that subscribe to, flat-rate prepaid plans with unlimited minutes and subscribers of traditional, per-minute plans. Specifically, customer satisfaction scores with plans that have unlimited minutes average 862, compared with only 756 among traditional prepaid calling plans. The ease of initially subscribing to the plan and activating the phone are the two areas driving the gap in satisfaction.

MetroPCS ranks highest in prepaid wireless satisfaction for the first time since the inception of the study and performs particularly well in five out of seven factors that drive overall satisfaction: cost of service, account management, initial activation, brand image, and service plan options. Also ranking above the industry average are TracFone, Cricket, Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile To Go, respectively.

"In particular, MetroPCS differentiates itself from the competition in areas related to the cost of service, account management and service functions," said Parsons. "From initial account setup and activation to account management tools and variety of pricing plans available, MetroPCS provides its customers with important elements that positively impact their daily service experiences."

The study also finds the following key prepaid wireless usage patterns:

-- Prepaid users spend $40 on average when purchasing additional airtime -- an increase of $2 from 2007. In comparison, the average monthly service cost for postpaid customers in 2008 is $76.

-- Prepaid customers report using 233 minutes per month. Conversely, postpaid customers average 543 minutes per month.

-- Approximately 63 percent of prepaid phones that are prepackaged with minutes are purchased from retail stores, while an additional 20 percent of customers report purchasing a prepackaged phone via the Internet. Approximately 17 percent of customers purchase activated minute cards separately from their cell phones.

-- Twenty-six percent of prepaid customers refill minutes approximately once per month, marking a decrease from 29 percent in 2007. An additional 14 percent refill their plan minutes at least twice a month.

The 2008 Wireless Prepaid Customer Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 3,316 wireless customers who currently subscribe to prepaid service plans. Findings are based on a continuous fielding period between February and May 2008.

Microsoft HealthVault and RelayHealth to Connect Doctors and PatientsImproved online access to health information to encourage adoption of personal health records.

REDMOND, Wash., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced a strategic collaboration with RelayHealth, McKesson Corp.'s connectivity business, to accelerate and improve the relationship between doctors and patients. Together, Microsoft HealthVault and RelayHealth will enable affordable patient connectivity with doctors' offices and hospitals so patients can have security-enhanced, easy online access to medical care, information and records.

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

HealthVault will provide physicians using RelayHealth's Software as a Service (SaaS) platform with the technology to facilitate enhanced online patient service and communications. Physicians can easily employ the RelayHealth service, which includes electronic prescribing, through a Web browser as the initial step toward clinical automation of their practice. The service is also designed to integrate with electronic medical record systems already in use. For patients, the combined solution allows access to their personal health information and an online interaction with their personal physician.

"Until now, the ability for consumers to access and share appropriate health information online has not been possible, and as a result, personal health records (PHRs) have not been broadly adopted or consistently used," said Pamela Pure, president of McKesson Technology Solutions. "Our relationship with Microsoft can change that. HealthVault offers consumers a convenient and accessible way to store and manage their healthcare and wellness data in one central place. The RelayHealth network then connects the consumer's portfolio of information with the care provider and unifies the management of the personal health record."

Pure added that RelayHealth's security-enhanced network makes it easy for physicians to review clinical data and share appropriate information with their patients or other clinicians efficiently.

"This new relationship enables us to connect the personal health record to the care process so the information can be better utilized," Pure said.

RelayHealth's core services enable patients to schedule healthcare appointments online, request prescription refills, pay bills, obtain results and even visit their doctor online using security-enhanced webVisit(R) consultations for non-urgent care. HealthVault is a consumer health platform that allows people to collect, store and share health information with family members and participating healthcare providers.

"Together, Microsoft and RelayHealth will make it easier for consumers and doctors to exchange information that is a part of our everyday lives, such as ordering and filling prescriptions, receiving lab results and other important exchanges that impact our health and well-being," said Peter Neupert, corporate vice president of the Health Solutions Group at Microsoft. "Using the Internet to better connect patients and providers is a big step toward engaging people in their health decisions and ultimately improving the quality of patient care."

Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

"The impact of GeForce GPUs on protein folding simulations was immediate and dramatic," said Vijay Pande, associate professor of chemistry, Stanford University and director of the Folding@home project. "Teams that are folding with GeForce GPUs are seeing their production skyrocket. Applying that kind of processing power to Folding@home changes the whole dynamic of the project and could significantly reduce the time it takes to carry out our biomedical research."

The Folding@home project has amassed a large following of computer enthusiasts who compete in teams to churn through as many data units as possible. Their unofficial stats are organized by and displayed at ExtremeOverclocking.com. It took the NVIDIA internal folding team only two weeks to move ahead of 90% of all teams, using only 10 machines. After expanding the team to include more GPUs, the NVIDIA team has moved inside the top 0.1% of teams in all-time total production in less than a month.

Other folding teams are also seeing their status rise as a result of the NVIDIA Folding@home client.

"We saw the completed work double for our PC Games Hardware Folding team as a result of many team members installing the NVIDIA Folding client," said Carsten Spille, editor at PC Games Hardware. "We are passing many teams every day and we have finally reached our goal of being one of the top 100 folding teams in the world."

Protein Folding

Proteins assemble themselves through a process biologists call "folding." The goal of the Folding@home project is to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases. Folding@home simulates protein folding in order to understand how proteins fold so quickly and reliably and to learn about what happens when proteins do not fold correctly. Diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cystic fibrosis, BSE (Mad Cow disease), an inherited form of emphysema, and many cancers are believed to result from protein misfolding.

ChoicePoint(R) Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results- Internal revenue in the Insurance Services segment grew 10.5 percent- Completed the sale of our government software business for a cash purchase price of $175.6 million, subject to final working capital adjustments- Sold the Database Solutions portion of the Marketing Services segment to Acxiom Corporation in July- Net Free Cash Flow from continuing operations increased sequentially from $32.7 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $48.5 million for the second quarter- Net Debt reduced by $279.6 million from December 31, 2007 to $310.2 million

ALPHARETTA, Ga., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the second quarter of 2008, ChoicePoint Inc. reported total revenue from continuing operations of $240.7 million, compared to $227.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") for the second quarter of 2008 was $0.28, compared to $0.41 for the second quarter of 2007. Excluding certain other operating charges, EPS would have increased 10 percent to $0.45 for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $0.41 for the same period of 2007.

The following table provides a reconciliation of EPS excluding other operating charges to EPS calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007:

Quarter Ended June 30, 2008 2007 EPS excluding other operating charges $0.45 $0.41 Other operating charges (0.17) - EPS $0.28 $0.41

Other operating charges of $16.4 million ($11.9 million net of taxes), or $0.17 per share, incurred during the second quarter of 2008 were primarily for costs associated with the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier and lease abandonment and asset impairment charges at various business units. See Note (b) to Financial Highlights for additional detail of 2008 and 2007 other operating charges.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights - Second Quarter -- Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations were $64.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $72.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. With $15.8 million in capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2008 and $11.3 million during the same period in 2007, net free cash flow from continuing operations (cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations less capital expenditures) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, was $48.5 million, compared to $61.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. However, through the first six months of 2008, net free cash flow from continuing operations totaled $81.2 million compared to $83.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decline in net free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 is primarily a result of increased capital expenditures. -- Net debt (total debt of $485.0 million less cash and cash equivalents of $174.8 million) at June 30, 2008, decreased by $279.6 million from December 31, 2007 to $310.2 million, with an average effective interest rate of 4.5 percent. The Company utilized its cash flows from operations to fund capital expenditures and pay down debt, while investing the cash proceeds from the sale of the government software business in short-term cash equivalents. The remaining debt capacity at June 30, 2008 under our committed financing lines was $389.5 million. Financial Highlights - Second Quarter -- Second quarter total revenue from continuing operations increased 5.9 percent to $240.7 million in 2008, from $227.2 million in 2007. Internal revenue (total revenue less revenue from acquisitions) from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2008 increased 3.7 percent from the second quarter of 2007. Continued strong internal revenue growth of 10.5 percent in the Insurance Services segment (excluding $3.0 million of revenue related to an acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2008) was offset by declines in the Business Services segment, primarily due to continued difficult macroeconomic conditions faced by our customers in the financial services market. -- Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $41.5 million, compared to $57.9 million for the same period of 2007. Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was reduced by other operating charges of $16.4 million ($11.9 million net of taxes) consisting of the following: -- Charges of $11.8 million for transaction-related expenses associated with the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier. -- Charges of $4.6 million consisting primarily of lease abandonment and asset impairment charges. -- Operating income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 included other operating charges of $0.2 million ($0.1 million net of taxes) consisting of the following: -- Charges of $1.7 million for severance and lease abandonment primarily associated with the consolidation of facilities; and -- A net benefit of $1.5 million due to a partial reversal of third party legal accruals related to the previously disclosed fraudulent data access. -- Excluding the other operating charges discussed above, operating income from continuing operations would have been $57.9 million and $58.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. -- The Company's effective tax rate for continuing operations in the second quarter of 2008 was 44.5 percent, compared to 39.7 percent for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2008 is due primarily to the non-deductibility of certain charges incurred in connection with the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier. -- Interest expense was $6.4 million for each of the second quarters of 2008 and 2007. Operational Highlights Insurance Services -- Total revenue increased 12.9 percent to $141.3 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $125.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding revenue of $3.0 million related to an acquisition in the first quarter of 2008, internal revenue increased 10.5 percent in the Insurance Services segment. This growth was led by double-digit internal revenue growth in data services and claims and fraud analytics. The delayed timing of new contract signings resulted in nominal growth in our software business. -- Operating income increased 10.7 percent in Insurance Services to $69.4 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared with $62.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. Operating profit margin was 49.1% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 50.1% in the second quarter of 2007. This decrease is primarily due to changes in product mix and ongoing investments in new product initiatives. Screening and Authentication Services -- Total revenue and internal revenue grew 0.1 percent in the second quarter of 2008, achieving revenue of $65.9 million in each of the second quarters of 2008 and 2007. Double-digit internal revenue growth from our tenant screening, Bridger, and VitalChek businesses was offset by continued negative total and internal revenue growth in our employment-related screening business, due primarily to a reduction in hiring levels by our largest customers. -- Operating income in Screening and Authentication Services was $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $12.7 million in the same period of the prior year. Operating profit margin increased to 19.8% for the second quarter of 2008, improving from 19.3% in the second quarter of 2007 and 16.7% in the first quarter of 2008. This increase is primarily due to the impact of cost management initiatives implemented in 2007 and 2008. Business Services -- Total revenue decreased 7.5 percent to $33.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $36.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. The results include the impact of our Charles Jones joint venture, which was effective July 1, 2007. Excluding the impact of $2.0 million of incremental revenue for the Charles Jones joint venture, internal revenue declined 13.1 percent during the second quarter of 2008, compared to the same period of the prior year, as revenues from our on- demand business due diligence ("BIS") products continued to decline due to macroeconomic conditions impacting our customers. -- Operating loss in the Business Services segment was $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to operating income of $2.9 million for the same period of 2007. Operating loss margin was 1.3% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to an operating profit margin of 8.1% in the second quarter of 2007, as margins declined in all three businesses in the segment: Public Records, Charles Jones and BIS. Corporate and Shared Expenses -- For the second quarter of 2008, corporate and shared expenses were $19.7 million, or 8.2 percent of total revenue, compared to $15.3 million, or 6.7 percent of total revenue, in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in corporate and shared expenses is primarily due to $2.8 million of specific third party legal costs, as well as incremental incentive compensation. For additional information on corporate and shared expenses, please refer to the table at the end of this release. -- The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4.5 million ($3.3 million net of taxes) during the second quarter of 2008. Approximately $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of revenue, with the remaining $3.7 million of stock based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts include restricted stock expense of $2.4 million ($1.5 million net of taxes), and stock option expense of $2.1 million ($1.8 million net of taxes). The Company recorded $5.0 million ($3.8 million net of taxes) of stock-based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2007, which includes restricted stock expense of $2.1 million ($1.3 million net of taxes) and stock option expense of $2.9 million ($2.5 million net of taxes). Disposition of Assets Held for Sale

On June 10, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its government software business ("i2"), to Silver Lake Sumeru, a leader in private investments in technology, technology-enabled and related growth industries, in a cash purchase of $175.6 million, subject to the finalization of working capital adjustments. The Company had reclassified the operations of i2 as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 as part of its previously-announced strategy of divesting businesses that did not fit within its strategic focus of helping customers manage economic risks.

Marketing Services Segment Divestiture

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Marketing Services segment. As a result, the Company is reporting the segment as discontinued operations and eliminating the reporting of the Marketing Services segment. In connection with the divestiture decision, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $17.1 million to record the Marketing Services segment assets at their currently estimated fair value less costs to sell. On July 9, 2008, the Company sold the Database Solutions portion of this segment to Acxiom Corporation. The Company expects to divest the remaining portion of the segment within the next 12 months. Neither the Acxiom transaction nor the divestiture of the remaining portion of the segment is expected to have a material impact on our financial results.

Shareholders Approve Merger with Reed Elsevier

On April 16, 2008 at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, ChoicePoint shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve the previously- disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 20, 2008, by and among ChoicePoint, Reed Elsevier Group plc and Deuce Acquisition Inc., under which ChoicePoint would be acquired by Reed Elsevier.

The consummation of the transaction remains subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions as described in the merger agreement.

On April 29, 2008, the Company announced that it and Reed Elsevier had received a request for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission regarding the proposed merger between the companies. In addition, the companies have been notified of parallel reviews by the attorneys general of certain states. The Federal Trade Commission information request was issued under notification requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The companies intend to cooperate fully and respond expeditiously to the FTC and the attorneys general. It is expected that the transaction will close later in the year.

Reed Elsevier and the Company submitted a Notice of the proposed transaction to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") pursuant to the Exon-Florio provisions of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. After being informed by the Department of the Treasury that CFIUS would not be able to complete its review within the review period allotted, the parties withdrew their Notice on May 5, 2008, and refiled on May 7, 2008. After consultation with the Department of Treasury, the parties again withdrew the Notice on July 18, 2008 and refiled on July 21, 2008. The review is expected to be completed within 45 days.

Transaction-related expenses above consist primarily of legal fees incurred in connection with the request for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission regarding the Company's pending sale to Reed Elsevier and investment banking fees payable in connection with the pending sale to Reed Elsevier.

(c) Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the following components:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 2008 2007 2008 2007 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes $(10,910) $1,356 $(15,327) $3,303 Gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes 33,464 129 33,503 (237) Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes $22,554 $1,485 $18,176 $3,066

(d) The Company has presented this analysis with and without these items because they represent costs that management excludes in its assessments of operating results of the business.

(e) To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provides the following non-GAAP financial measures: "operating income before other expenses," "income from continuing operations before income taxes and other expenses," "net income from continuing operations before other expenses," "effective tax rate from continuing operations excluding other expenses" and "earnings per share from continuing operations - diluted excluding other expenses". In each case, these non-GAAP financial measures differ from the equivalent GAAP financial measures in that they exclude the other operating charges described in Note (b), which include expenses related to the pending merger with Reed Elsevier, severance, lease abandonment, fraudulent data access, and other costs relating to the consolidation of facilities.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal purposes in evaluating and forecasting the Company's operating performance because they exclude expenses that are not reflective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and, in the case of expenses related to the fraudulent data access and consolidation of operating platforms, are expected to be limited in duration and decreasing over time. The Company also uses certain of these non-GAAP financial measures in setting bonus targets and targets for other performance-based compensation plans. Management believes these non- GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the Company's results with prior periods in which such expenses were not taken.

These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP operating income, income before taxes, net income or earnings per share. In addition, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. For example, expenses associated with items such as the fraudulent data access or consolidation of technology platforms could have a material impact on cash flows or liquidity. These effects are reflected in our GAAP financial statements. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Other companies may use different methodologies for calculating their non-GAAP financial measures and, accordingly, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those measures.

(f) Net free cash flow is not defined under GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The Company defines net free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations less capital expenditures. It should not be inferred that the entire net free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The Company believes net free cash flow is a useful measure of performance and its ability to generate cash.

(g) Net debt is not defined under GAAP. The Company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that net debt provides useful information regarding the level of the Company's indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for total debt data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(h) To supplement the Company's balance sheet information presented on a GAAP basis, the Company also uses "net debt to EBITDA ratio". Net debt to EBITDA ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, and is obtained by dividing the Company's net debt as of a specific date by its EBITDA for the specified period ending on such date. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. The Company defines EBITDA as net income from continuing operations before taxes, interest, other operating charges, depreciation and amortization, including amortization associated with stock-based compensation. The Company's net debt to EBITDA ratio is required to be calculated by the Company's loan covenants and Management uses it to evaluate the Company's ability to repay or refinance its debt obligations. Management believes that net debt is a useful measure because it represents the amount of debt obligations that are not covered by available cash and temporary investments. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful measure in this context because it assists management in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods or non- operating factors such as historical cost.

The Company's net debt to EBITDA ratio should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a ratio of GAAP total debt to net income. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Other companies may use different methodologies for calculating their non-GAAP financial measures and, accordingly, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those measures.
