    Verizon's All-Fiber-Optic Network Now Available to Many Residents in Archstone Apartments in Northern VirginiaResidents in 14 Communities - 5,429 Living Units - Will Enjoy the Fastest Internet Connection Speeds on FiOS Internet Service and Extraordinary Picture Quality on FiOS TV

    ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents in 14 Northern Virginia apartment communities with a total of 5,429 units now have access to the most advanced all-fiber-optic network and FiOS Internet and TV services, under an agreement between Verizon and Archstone, a leading apartment building management and investment company.

    "We're excited to bring these Archstone residents FiOS services from Verizon," said Eric Cevis, vice president of Verizon Enhanced Communities, which markets and sells communications and entertainment services to

    single- and multiple-home properties. "It matters which network is connected to your TV, computer and phone.

    "With our all-fiber network, these customers are receiving the most advanced network for voice, data and TV services available in the market today -- FiOS services," said Cevis.

    The Archstone communities offering Verizon's FiOS services are located in Arlington, Ashburn, Fairfax, Herndon, Reston and Vienna. An additional 3,290 Archstone apartment homes in the state are expected to have the services later this year. Archstone is also working with Verizon to bring FiOS services to more communities in Maryland, Massachusetts and New York.

    Since the end of 2005, Verizon Enhanced Communities has aggressively pursued agreements with property owners to bring FiOS to their properties. To date, Verizon Enhanced Communities has entered agreements with developers and contractors for new developments under construction covering 400,000 private households and is offering FiOS to 750,000 apartment units across 16 states where the company is currently building its all-fiber network.

    Archstone offers its customers an array of superior services. Prospective residents can visit ArchstoneApartments.com to view real-time pricing and availability, select a floor plan, and complete a lease online. Current residents have all the benefits of unconditional Seal of Service Guarantees, which include flexible lease terms, 100 percent move-in satisfaction guarantee, one-day service guarantee and a relocation guarantee.

    Verizon FiOS can deliver Internet access with maximum downstream connection speeds of up to 50 Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps over the nation's most advanced digital, all-fiber-optic network. At 50 Mbps, downloading a 1.2 GB (gigabyte), or 90-minute, standard-definition movie takes approximately 3.2 minutes. Upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps make modern video and file-sharing a snap over the nation's only large-scale fiber-optic network that extends all the way to customers' homes or small and medium-sized businesses. Using a 20 Mbps upstream broadband connection, a person could upload a 250 megabyte (MB) file or a 3,500 page document in about 90 seconds, compared with about 47 minutes over a 768 kilobits per second (kbps) upstream connection.

    Verizon's fiber-optic network also delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound with FiOS TV and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming so clear and intense it seems to leap from the screen. Verizon's FiOS TV service offers a broad collection of all-digital programming, with more than 400 channels and 10,000 video-on-demand titles each month, 70 percent of which are free. The VOD library also includes an increasing number of HD titles, with plans for 1,000 HD VOD titles per month by year-end.

    These Archstone communities now have FiOS services:

    -- Arlington -- Archstone Columbia Crossing on Columbia Pike; Ballston Place on North Pollard Street; Arlington Courthouse Place on North Veitch Street; Arlington Courthouse Plaza on Clarendon Boulevard; Gallery at Rosslyn on North Oak Street; Gallery at Virginia Square on North Nelson Street; 2201 Wilson Boulevard on Wilson Boulevard; and Archstone Ballston Square on North Randolph Street.

    -- Reston -- Archstone Charter Oak on Charter Oak Court, and Archstone Reston Landing on Cameron Pond Drive.

    -- Ashburn -- Archstone Stoneridge on Broad Vista Trail. -- Fairfax -- Archstone Monument Park on Oakdale Crescent Court. -- Herndon -- Archstone Woodland Park on Glen Echo Road. -- Vienna -- Archstone Tysons Corner on Gosnell Road

    Archstone's desire for FiOS services in its communities reflects the competitive advantage Verizon's all-fiber network offers owners and developers in marketing their properties. Verizon is the only major telecom company whose network has earned the certification of the independent Fiber to the Home Council for providing fiber all the way to customers' homes.

    Verizon Enhanced Communities received the Cornerstone Award from Broadband Properties Magazine acknowledging the organization for outfitting a 300-unit, eight-building JPI residential community with Verizon's FiOS all-fiber-optic network services in just 14 days.

    CardioDynamics BioZ(R) ICG Technology Integrates with General Electric Healthcare's Centricity(R) Electronic Medical Record (EMR) SystemGE Centricity(R) -- Third Largest U.S. Outpatient EMR with Nearly 10% Market Share

    SAN DIEGO, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CardioDynamics , the innovator and leader of BioZ(R) impedance cardiography (ICG) technology, today announced that the Company's BioZ(R) Dx now seamlessly integrates with General Electric Healthcare's Centricity(R) electronic medical record (EMR) system.

    The Company released this week its latest version of BioZport(R) ICG data management software which includes capabilities to automatically integrate and transfer BioZ(R) ICG data from the BioZ(R) Dx to GE Healthcare's Centricity(R) EMR system. This is a strategic advancement for the Company's flagship product as EMR interface and paperless workflow are increasingly becoming necessities to the outpatient physician when making decisions on new medical technologies. Currently, it is estimated that 24% of U.S. outpatient physicians utilize an EMR system. Medical device to EMR interface capability will continue to grow in importance as U.S. outpatient-based physician use of EMR is forecasted to grow at over 16% per year through 2013.

    Michael K. Perry, CardioDynamics Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are extremely pleased to release our initial BioZ ICG direct EMR interface. EMR is a driving, essential factor in the majority of medical device decisions for early adopter physicians and large physician practices. Interfacing with our long-time partner, GE Healthcare, whose Centricity(R) system has nearly 10% share in our sizable outpatient physician market, is a great accomplishment for our company, customers, prospective customers and investors."

    Perry continued, "Our EMR strategy is to partner with the top 10% to 15% of EMR suppliers, who collectively have 80% of U.S. outpatient market share. Allscripts, the second largest outpatient EMR provider, with over 12% market share, is our next planned interface. With increasing penetration rates for both ICG and EMR, interface capability should further accelerate the adoption of ICG and supports our long-term vision that BioZ ICG is present in every physician office that prescribes cardiovascular medicine for heart failure, shortness of breath and high blood pressure patients."

    BioZ ICG technology presently resides in approximately one out of every six (16%) cardiology offices as well as one out of every five (20%) outpatient heart failure clinics in the United States with over one million BioZ tests performed annually.

    For further information, please contact Emma Brejwo at ebrejwo@cdic.com. About CardioDynamics:

    CardioDynamics , the ICG Company, is the innovator and leader of an important medical technology called BioZ(R) Impedance Cardiography (ICG).

    Evangelical Community Hospital Selects Allscripts Electronic Health Record for 100 PhysiciansCommunity-Wide Personal Health Record Tied to the Electronic Health Record

    CHICAGO and LEWISBURG, Pa., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allscripts, the leading provider of clinical software and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, announced today that Evangelical Community Hospital has selected the Allscripts Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution to automate and connect clinical processes for their 40 employed physicians and 60 affiliated physicians in independent practice.

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

    The agreement with Allscripts leverages recent changes to the federal Stark regulations that now allow hospitals to assist non-employed physicians in purchasing healthcare information technologies such as the Electronic Health Record. Evangelical Community Hospital will host the Allscripts solution and subsidize the cost and ongoing fees associated with providing the system to physicians in the community

    "In seeking to fulfill our vision of healthy communities, we're bringing our close-knit network of physicians together to share clinical and financial information on one Allscripts network," said Scott Peterson, Chief Information Officer at Evangelical Community Hospital, which previously provided its physicians the Allscripts Practice Management solution to automate back-office functions such as billing, scheduling and revenue cycle management. "We planned to take this step eventually but the Stark rule change provided us the opportunity to move forward in a much more aggressive manner and to build physician support for the deployment over a much shorter time."

    The Allscripts Electronic Health Record delivers instant access to patient information when and where physicians need it - at the hospital, in their offices, or while on-call. The web-based solution also automates everyday clinical tasks for physicians and other healthcare providers, including prescribing and refilling medications, ordering and reviewing tests, and documenting patient care.

    "We are pleased that Evangelical Community Hospital is able to support the deployment of the Allscripts electronic health record to our staff members who might not otherwise adopt and use an Electronic Health Record, either because of cost or fear of implementation difficulties," said J. Lawrence Ginsburg, MD, MMM, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Evangelical Community Hospital. "We carefully evaluated multiple vendors and believe that Allscripts offers the best combination of functionality and support. It is clear that the use of an electronic health record will enhance patient safety and the quality of care delivered by these physicians."

    "The connectivity to other community physicians that Allscripts will provide is especially important," Dr. Ginsburg added. "It means that patients being seen by multiple providers, or going to the emergency room, may be confident that all their physicians have access to the same information, including medical history, test results, medication lists, and allergies. This will allow provision of more timely, safer care and avoid duplication of tests and procedures."

    Evangelical Community Hospital is a 135-bed community hospital that serves Pennsylvania's central Susquehanna Valley with a full spectrum of inpatient and outpatient services. The hospital's emergency department serves more than 30,000 patients each year, including a large contingent of students from nearby universities, as well as residents of local retirement and skilled nursing facilities.

    To better serve these populations, Evangelical Community Hospital will provide its patients and the broader community with Allscripts iHealth - a secure, online Personal Health Record (PHR) and patient-provider communications service from Medem that is linked to the Electronic Health Record.

    "A big challenge that we face is that a large number of college students in the area have no medical history on file at the hospital," said Scott Peterson, Vice President, Information Systems. "Also, elderly patients who often have multiple health issues and are on numerous medications are brought to the Emergency Department for care. We want to diagnose and treat these and all patients in the most efficient and effective manner possible. iHealth clearly gives us the ability to deliver quality care for them by making it easier for our providers to quickly locate vital clinical information," Peterson added.

    Allscripts Chief Executive Officer Glen Tullman, an alumnus of nearby Bucknell University, commented, "Having spent four years in the Susquehanna Valley, I'm pleased that Allscripts will be helping to keep the local population healthier. And I applaud Evangelical Community Hospital for their commitment to developing an end-to-end community care model, ensuring that physicians throughout the community have the information they need, when and where they need it, to improve the quality of care they deliver and ultimately lower the cost of running a medical practice."

    Evangelical Community Hospital also will deploy Allscripts Study Manager, providing the data tools to more easily participate in clinical research, resulting in a new revenue stream for physicians inside and outside the hospital, and advanced care options for patients. And the hospital will integrate the Electronic Health Record with its inpatient information systems, enabling physicians to view the charts, schedules, lab results and radiology results of their hospitalized patients.

    SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. today expands its ROKR portfolio with the introduction of three new music-optimized devices that provide a range of styles at attractive prices for mobile music fans. The lineup includes MOTOROKR EM30, a candybar phone using Motorola's ModeShift technology, ROKR EM28, a clamshell device with sonic features and touch-sensitive keys, and ROKR EM25, a slider with FM radio sharing capabilities.

High-speed USB 2.0 helps users transfer music from their PC with simple drag and drop -- no special software required. (3-5)

    ROKR EM28 has sonic features that enhance the music's performance. A 3D sound effect gives music a surround-sound quality and an audio equalizer provides 11 pre-set music genres, including rock, reggae and pop for optimal listening. Consumers also can boost the bass up to nine decibels.

    ROKR EM25: Get What You Need

    ROKR EM25 offers a genuine music player experience including immediate access to a stored music library and built-in FM radio, in a sleek, quality handset. The phone has a dedicated music key so consumers can simply access stored music and familiar music controls to play, pause, forward and rewind songs. Consumers can use FMShare to share a favorite station with friends by sending it in a text message and SONGID technology to identify a song while out and about, then download and listen to it on the phone. (1-3)

    While the new ROKR devices are offered in different designs to suit a range of consumers' style preferences, each supports GSM/EDGE technology and is equipped with a host of features for an enjoyable mobile music experience:

    -- Supports multiple digital music formats including MP3 so you can sync your music easily with devices (3-5)

    -- FM radio with RDS(4) provides the name of the artist and song playing so you can discover new artists and songs

    -- Industry-standard connectors, including a universal 3.5mm jack, and stereo Bluetooth(R) wireless technology lets consumers connect to their favorite wired or compatible wireless speakers and headsets(2), including the lightweight Motorola S9-HD headset and Motorola's new ROKR portable speakers.

    Supermicro Ships World's First 1U Server Solutions Achieving New Power Efficiency Standard

    SAN JOSE, California, August 5 /PRNewswire/ --

    - New 1U Chassis and SuperServers with up to 8 Hot-Swap 2.5" Hard Drives Demonstrated at LinuxWorld 2008

    Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced volume shipments of the industry's first and only 1U chassis and servers with up to 90%+ power efficiency. Continuing its technology and design leadership, the company has launched three new 1U chassis and SuperServers featuring the first 80 Plus Silver-certified power supply for 1U systems, which will be on display at LinuxWorld 2008 in San Francisco, August 5-7, booth #1125.

    (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080805/AQTU077)

    Optimized for 2.5" hard disk drives, the high-density SC113MTQ-560CB, the cost-effective SC111T-560 series and the high-performance SC113TQ-560 series chassis all feature a new 560-watt multi-output power supply that delivers 85%+ power efficiency when the system operates at or above 20% loading, making them the greenest standard 1U rack server solutions available. It is important to note that multiple-output power supplies deliver much more optimized system efficiency compared to single-output power supplies.

    "With the cost of many 2.5" SAS drives having reached that of equivalent 3.5" drives, now is the time for customers to deploy the power-saving and performance advantages of these compact drives, and Supermicro offers the industry's most efficient server solutions optimized for 2.5" drives," said Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "By combining the benefits of our silver-level up to 90% efficiency power supply and our efficient motherboard and thermal design technology with the energy-saving advantages of 2.5" disk drives, customers can realize significant energy cost savings and reduce their carbon footprint. In addition to lower latency, 2.5" drives enable a higher aggregate I/O bandwidth, empowering these servers to deliver up to 50 percent greater system performance in the same footprint."

    Both the high-density, short-depth (20") SC113MTQ-560CB and the SC113TQ-560 chassis series support eight hot-swappable 2.5" hard disk drives. The versatile and cost-effective SC111T-560 series supports four hot-swappable 2.5" hard drives and, like the SC113TQ-560, features Supermicro's flexible Universal I/O (UIO) architecture as an option to support up to three add-on cards in a standard 1U form factor.

    Featuring Supermicro's X7DCL-3 serverboard, the short-depth SuperServer 1025C-M3B and the cost-optimized SuperServer 1025C-3B combine onboard SAS with support for 8 and 4 hot-swap 2.5" drive bays, respectively. Based on the low-power Intel 5100 (San Clemente) chipset, these servers maximize energy and cost savings with native DDR2 memory support and offer the benefit of a very long product lifecycle (up to seven years).

    For maximum performance in a standard 1U form factor, the SuperServer 1025W-UB, based on the Intel 5400 (Seaburg) chipset, supports a 1600MHz CPU bus and 800MHz FB-DIMM memory (including support for low-power 1.5V) as well as two PCI-Express 2.0 expansion slots with double the I/O bandwidth of PCI-Express 1.0 slots. Supermicro's flexible Universal I/O (UIO) architecture comes standard to support up to three add-on cards in this 1U server that supports eight hot-swap 2.5" drive bays and Supermicro's new 85%+ high-efficiency 560-watt power supply.

    Microsoft Offers Customers and Partners an Edge in Online Security With New Information-Sharing ProgramsPrograms provide additional guidance, can shorten response times and increase industry collaboration against online threats.

    LAS VEGAS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At the Black Hat USA 2008 conference today, Microsoft Corp. introduced security-related programs that share early information with partners to help them protect customers quickly and effectively. The new programs also provide additional information and guidance to help customers evaluate risks and prioritize the deployment of Microsoft security updates.

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

    Along with the predictability of Microsoft's monthly security update process is the emergence of an undesirable cycle - the release of exploit code, related to those updates, sometimes within hours of release. Understanding this changing threat environment, Microsoft will offer the Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP), which gives security software providers advance information about vulnerabilities addressed by Microsoft security updates. This will allow security software providers to offer protections to customers quickly and effectively.

    In addition, as part of the company's ongoing effort to improve its guidance for customers, Microsoft announced its new Exploitability Index. Developed based on customer feedback, the Exploitability Index will provide customers with guidance on the likelihood of functional exploits being developed for vulnerabilities addressed by Microsoft security updates. This additional information helps customers better assess their unique risks and better prioritize deployment of the monthly security update. The Exploitability Index will be included as part of Microsoft's monthly security bulletin release.

    "The introduction of these new programs helps address evolving online threats and provides more practical guidance to assess and manage risk," said Andrew Cushman, director of security response and outreach at Microsoft. "In the race between exploit and protection, Microsoft is committed to shifting the advantage to the security industry. The Microsoft Active Protections Program gives security software providers the information and resources they need to help better protect customers."

    By investing in technology innovations, industry partnerships and customer guidance, Microsoft continues to seek ways to put organizations in control of their computing environments and help address online security.

    "As security threats become more sophisticated, the global security community must combine its resources and work together to provide maximum security protections to worldwide Internet users," said George Stathakopoulos, general manager of security engineering and communications at Microsoft. "No one organization can counter online attacks alone. Therefore, we must use the combined strength of the industry, partners, customers and public organizations to build a more secure environment for everyone."

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

    Novell ZENworks Configuration Management Expands Scalability and Platform SupportLatest release optimizes management and increases performance -- eliminating administrative effort and cost through automation

    WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell today announced the availability of ZENworks(R) Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 (SP1) which has been designed and tested to enable new levels of scalability and features improved performance for remote and low-bandwidth locations. With expanded platform support for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008, this latest release extends Novell's leadership in identity-based, cross-platform system management. ZENworks Configuration Management SP1 helps customers efficiently manage both medium and large scale enterprise IT environments by offering streamlined operations, greater flexibility, better compliance and increased performance.

    "Our organization is made up of more than 4,500 employees spread out across the state of Louisiana, which translates to more than 10,000 devices and thousands of users that need to be supported and managed regardless of location," said Chad Israel, technical account manager at State of Louisiana, Department of Social Services. "With ZENworks Configuration Management we are able to reduce IT administration and costs through automation, making it a critical technology solution for enabling the staff to help our citizens get the services they need to live safer and more independent lives."

    This latest release includes the new ZENworks Satellite capability which allows content, applications and images to be sent once to a remote location and then distributed to all the devices at that site. Previously, customers managing systems in remote offices were constrained by network bandwidth. With the option to move distribution and collection management functions to a local device, ZENworks Configuration Management speeds distribution of updates and applications, ensuring all machines are properly managed regardless of location, without slowing down the business.

    The first product to be performance tested in the Novell(R) Systems Management SuperLab, a new facility designed to simulate real world environments, ZENworks Configuration Management has demonstrated support for more than 30,000 devices within a single management zone. Additionally, this solution now offers optional support for Oracle Database 10g, enabling customers to leverage their existing IT investments for superior system scalability and back-end manageability.

    "Enterprise customers are faced with the challenge of managing their distributed IT environment in the same way they manage their on-site resources, all while keeping the business productive and meeting regulatory compliance demands," said Joe Wagner, senior vice president and general manager of Systems and Resource Management at Novell. "With increased scalability and expanded platform support, this release of ZENworks Configuration Management helps customers deliver critical IT services throughout their organization, no matter where the users or devices are located, reducing the cost and time spent keeping systems updated and meeting business needs."

    Major New England Health System Selects Allscripts to Automate and Connect Emergency Department and Physician PracticesHartford Healthcare Leverages Federal Rule Change to Subsidize Electronic Health Record for Affiliated Physicians

    CHICAGO and HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allscripts, the leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, today announced that Hartford Healthcare Corporation (HHCC) has selected the Allscripts Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) for two hospitals, as well as the Allscripts Electronic Health Record (EHR) for 200 physicians in affiliated medical groups.

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

    The Allscripts Electronic Health Record automates and improves the safety of everyday clinical tasks, including prescribing and refilling medications, ordering and reviewing tests, and documenting patient care. The Allscripts EDIS electronically streamlines processes for the entire Emergency Department (ED), including tracking, triage, nurse and physician charting, disposition and reporting. Connectivity to the Electronic Health Record provides ED physicians with immediate access to many patients' medical histories and medication lists -- information that has historically been provided by patients.

    The Allscripts EDIS solution also will exchange information with Hartford Healthcare's existing Eclipsys inpatient information system for a seamless information handoff when patients are admitted to the hospital from the Emergency Department.

    "Hartford Hospital remains committed to using the best technology in caring for our patients," said Stephan D. O'Neill, Vice President of Information Systems at Hartford HealthCare Corporation. "With Allscripts, we will be able to link our physicians in the Emergency Department with our providers outside the hospital. This will enable us, for the first time, to notify and update a patient's primary care physician when the patient is at the ED, so there will be minimal delay in communicating that critical information."

    Hartford-based HHCC is the parent organization of Hartford Hospital, one of the oldest and largest hospitals in New England, as well as Midstate Medical Center in Meriden, Conn. Non-profit Hartford Hospital, the major teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Connecticut Medical School, is a 867-bed facility with more than 6,600 employees and more than 80,000 annual emergency department visits. Midstate Medical Center is a 130-bed acute care hospital with 70,000 annual emergency department visits.

    "Hartford HealthCare is addressing one of the most common complaints and serious issues in healthcare today," said Allscripts Chief Executive Officer Glen Tullman. "In emergency departments all over this country, we're tying the hands of our world class physicians by not providing them with critical information they need to treat the patients they see. HHCC is bridging the information gap and taking an important step in fulfilling the vision of a connected healthcare system that enables physicians to improve the quality of patient care, reduce unnecessary procedures, and therefore lower costs."

    In deploying the Allscripts Electronic Health Record for 50 physicians in Hartford Medical Group (HMG) -- also a HHCC subsidiary -- and another 150 physicians affiliated with its hospitals, HHCC is leveraging recent changes to the federal Stark regulations that allow hospitals to subsidize the purchase of healthcare information technology for non-employed physicians. HHCC will cover most of the cost of the Electronic Health Record, and provide implementation services and front-line technical support for physician practices.

    "The changed Stark rules make it far easier for physicians in our community to adopt an electronic health record, especially those in smaller practices who may have felt they can't afford this technology or would have difficulty implementing it alone," said Kent Stahl, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Hartford Medical Group. "We're looking forward to expanding our existing Allscripts implementation and building a 'virtual care network' with the other physicians affiliated with Hartford HealthCare Corporation."

    HMG implemented the electronic prescribing functionality of Allscripts three years ago and plans to now deploy the entire EHR. The group is one of two HHCC-affiliated practices to have deployed the Allscripts EHR. The other, Connecticut Multispecialty Group, implemented the full Allscripts EHR for its 60 physicians in 2005. The two groups' positive experience with Allscripts was a primary reason HHCC selected the company, according to O'Neill.

    "We assessed the competition, but Allscripts was ultimately our partner of choice because of the reputation of the company and the value of its products," O'Neill said. "We were really impressed by the technical and implementation teams we worked with, and the positive experience we had with HMG and some of the other medical groups."

    About Allscripts

    Allscripts is the leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare. The company's unique solutions inform, connect and transform healthcare, delivering improved care at lower cost. More than 40,000 physicians and thousands of other healthcare professionals in clinics, hospitals and extended care facilities nationwide utilize Allscripts to automate everyday tasks such as writing prescriptions, documenting patient care, managing billing and scheduling, and safely discharging patients, as well as to connect with key information and stakeholders in the healthcare system.

    CACI Publishes Recommendations for Integrated National Strategy to Counter Asymmetric Threats to U.S. and Global SecurityProceedings From Symposium Co-sponsored by CACI and National Defense UniversityParticipants Include National Security Experts in Government, Industry, Education

    ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc announced today that it has published the results of a symposium in which national security leaders from government, industry, and academia addressed the need for a unified national strategy to deal with asymmetric threats to U.S. and global security. Held May 8, 2008, the symposium was co-sponsored by both CACI and the National Defense University (NDU). The publication, "Dealing With Today's Asymmetric Threat to U.S. and Global Security," is available free of charge from CACI's website, http://www.caci.com/.

    At the symposium, General Anthony Zinni (Ret), former Commander of the U.S. Central Command, provided a stimulating keynote address, challenging the experts to expand their vision and confront the tougher issues of very great importance to our national security. Rising to the challenge, experts from military, diplomatic, intelligence, industry, and other fields addressed problems and offered bold solutions in both what is called "soft power" and the more military-focused "kinetic power" models. From these discussions, CACI has developed this publication, which presents significant recommendations from symposium participants on the need for an integrated national asymmetric threat strategy and the considerations it must embrace. The symposium was the first of three planned events, with the second symposium scheduled for October at NDU. It will focus on "Rebuilding America's Soft Power."

    Following the end of World War II and throughout the Cold War, the U.S. government was able to maintain a consistent national security strategy to counter the relatively uniform and understood threats of that era. With the September 11, 2001 attacks, however, a new, lethal, and asymmetrical threat to the West entered the world stage.

    At its most basic level, asymmetric warfare refers to conflict between two or more actors -- nations, coalitions, or groups -- whose relative military power differs significantly. Terrorist organizations posing asymmetric threats know they cannot match the U.S. conventionally and instead seek new and constantly evolving ways to turn our strengths against us -- with lethal attacks marked by greater intensity, uncertainty, and psychological impact. This terrorist threat, grown on a foundation of instability and religious extremism, has leveraged technology, strategic communications, and divergent Western policies and priorities to enhance both its credibility and efficacy. As a result, the U.S. must rethink the policies, structures, and processes that have guided its national security and look to new, bolder concepts, strategies, methods, and tactics to combat and defeat these threats.

    Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, CACI Chairman of the Board, introduced the symposium, and at its conclusion noted that, "We thank everyone who participated in the Asymmetric Threat Symposium, as well as our co-sponsors at the National Defense University, and are very proud and privileged to have benefited from their insights. With this symposium publication, we make their views available to all. The U.S. and the West are in a long-term struggle over values, ideas, and culture, not terrain and military power in the traditional sense. I believe the development of an integrated national asymmetric threat strategy to address this struggle, which we have begun to explore in this publication, is both timely and urgent -- and of major national concern."

    The National Defense University is the premier center for Joint Professional Military Education and is under the direction of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. Through its research centers, NDU produces policy analyses, research, and other support to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Combatant Commanders from major military commands, and other U.S. government agencies.

    WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Enabling customers to run their time-critical business applications faster, and with more reliability and predictability, Novell today announced SUSE(R) Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 is now certified on select IBM BladeCenter hardware and supported by IBM WebSphere Real Time middleware. Utilizing best-of-breed products, Novell's real-time operating system and IBM's real-time Java hardware together ensure enterprises running latency-sensitive applications have the highest possible performance and availability across their entire solution stack.

This means mission critical enterprises, such as financial services organizations, are able to meet their external and internal customer commitments.

The deal, which closed as scheduled on April 1, 2008, allows the combined entity to offer integrated solutions across a number of passive tag applications, in particular to address the electronic vehicle registration opportunities worldwide. - Sirit launched its next generation INfinity 110 high frequency ("HF") reader module designed for embedded RFID applications. This new offering leverages Sirit's long history of supplying HF embedded reader solutions by supporting more tag protocols than competitive products in a compact footprint. - Sirit's INfinity 510 UHF RFID reader ("IN510") was announced as being part of an expanded rollout at METRO Group's Real brand hypermarket stores. 200 Real locations will be equipped with Checkpoint portals powered by Sirit readers at the loading doors to track incoming goods. - Sirit announced that the IN510 was selected for Finland's postal delivery service RFID implementation. Readers have been installed across the country as part of a system to monitor and quantify the speed and accuracy of real-time postal deliveries. Q2 2008 Financial Results

    Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 reached $4.8 million (US$4.7 million) compared to $7.0 million (US$6.1 million) in the second quarter of 2007. For the first half of 2008, total revenue is $9.1 million compared to $13.5 million from the first half of 2007. The decline in revenue continues to result primarily from lower toll transponder sales during the first six months of 2008 when compared to 2007, as well as foreign exchange impacts with a stronger Canadian Dollar in 2008. Year-to-date the total decline in US Dollar revenue is 23% compared to a reported decline in revenue in Canadian Dollars of almost 32%.

    During the second quarter of 2008, Sirit's Automatic Vehicle Identification ("AVI") applications contributed $3.3 million (US$3.2 million) or 70% of the total revenue, down from $5.2 million (US$4.5 million) or 74% in the second quarter of 2007. Radio Frequency Solutions ("RFS") applications revenue contributed $1.5 million (US$1.5 million) compared to $1.8 million (US$1.6 million) in the second quarter of 2007. This represented a 50% increase from the first quarter of 2008 at $1.0 million (US$1.0 million). Revenue from the operations of RSI acquired on April 1, 2008 are consolidated within either AVI or RFS based on the nature of the application.

    "As previously announced, Sirit continued to experience delays in toll transponder orders from our largest toll customer. However, expenses in the second quarter remained consistent with the first quarter, even with the acquisition of RSI," commented Anastasia Chodarcewicz, Chief Financial Officer, Sirit Inc. "In light of the continued slower revenue generation, Sirit has already implemented actions to reduce operating expenses for the second half of 2008."

    Gross profit in the second quarter of 2008 was 30% compared to almost 36% in the second quarter of 2007. The change is the result of an overall lower revenue level available to absorb fixed overhead costs as well as the inclusion of manufacturing costs associated with the operations of RSI.

    Operating expenses during the quarter, excluding foreign exchange and amortization, were $3.0 million, consistent with both the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007. Even with the inclusion of the new RSI operations, significant effort was placed on the control of expenses. Additional expense reductions have been taken to bring costs more in-line with the lower revenue levels currently being experienced. Development expenses now include RSI development efforts and are also anticipated to decrease in the second half of 2008. Amortization expense has increased with the assumption of manufacturing assets and creation of intangible assets, both associated with the acquisition of RSI.

    Operating loss for the quarter was $2.2 million compared to a $1.5 million loss in the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter was $2.2 million compared to a $1.4 million loss in the second quarter of 2007.

    The Company incurred approximately $2.5 million in short-term debt during the quarter and ended the quarter with $4.7 million in cash compared to $6.8 million at the beginning of the quarter. Of the total cash spent during the quarter, approximately $1.8 million was to repay liabilities of RSI assumed upon the acquisition.

    Second Half 2008 Perspective

    We remain confident about the growth opportunities for Sirit across all application areas. We are seeing, especially in AVI, some of the biggest opportunities we have faced in our history for applications such as Electronic Vehicle Registration and Electronic Tolling from emerging countries. We are however, now forecasting a continued slowdown in Q3 from our largest toll customer which will delay our return to a position of growth until the fourth quarter. In light of this delay, the Company has accelerated the streamlining and consolidation of the RSI acquisition and has reduced spending with the goal to return to a near cash neutral position by the end of 2008.

    "Even with the delays experienced in our traditional tolling market, we are excited about the very large opportunities Sirit is pursuing. As an example, we have been working very closely with 3M on new toll and electronic vehicle registration opportunities worldwide as we recently announced with the deployment of our toll technology with 3M in Brazil. We have also recognized the need to more closely align our spending with revenue levels and have taken actions to control expenses until revenue growth returns," added Norbert Dawalibi, President and CEO, Sirit Inc. "Overall, I continue to be confident about the future for Sirit and I look forward to high growth and achieving profitability in 2009 as we expect to see new application areas become a reality for Sirit."
