Siemens Makes Donation to the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago$11,750 gift will help Museum inspire and educate guests on science topics

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution, Inc. today donated $11,750 to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. This donation was made on behalf of visitors to the Siemens booth at the recent IEEE Power & Energy Society Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exposition in Chicago.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

Siemens launched a special website inviting visitors to preview its booth and schedule appointments and demonstrations during the exposition. In keeping with Siemens' 160-year tradition of giving back to communities, the Company made a contribution to the Museum of Science and Industry for each visitor to the booth and for each meeting scheduled before the event. The resulting $11,750 gift is being given to the Museum of Science and Industry to help it achieve its vision to inspire and motivate children to achieve their full potential in science, technology, medicine and engineering.

"The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago was a natural choice for Siemens to support," said Dave Pacyna, Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution, Inc. president and CEO. "Siemens is among the first engineering innovators in the world, and our own non-profit Siemens Foundation focuses on advancing science, math and technology among American students," he added.

Pacyna added, "Siemens is a strong advocate of math and science education, which is key to developing and retaining top talent for us and for our customers -- electric utilities. With the current and increasing deficit in engineering talent in the energy industry, institutions like the Museum of Science and Industry are beneficial in fostering a desire in our nation's youth to pursue careers in the sciences."

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. announced today the launch of a new public service initiative designed to benefit Connecticut's mature adult population. AT&T Connecticut will host a series of free events, titled "Cell Phones for Seniors" and "Surfing for Seniors" at senior centers throughout Connecticut over the next several months. The first of these is scheduled on August 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the North Haven Senior Center, 189 Pool Road, North Haven, Conn.

"AT&T's free seminar is a unique opportunity for seniors to receive help with two areas of technology that are engrained in our daily lives -- mobile phones and the Internet," said Judy Amarone, manager, North Haven Senior Center. "With AT&T's assistance, we expect our members to be able to walk away feeling more comfortable and confident that they will have a positive, safe experience using their cell phones and surfing the Internet."

This event is open to the public and mature adults interested in attending are encouraged to call the North Haven Senior Center at 203-239-5432.

In "Cell Phones for Seniors", which starts at 10 a.m., AT&T volunteers will work in a classroom setting to teach seniors about mobile phone basics, such as controlling the phone volume, checking voice mail, and storing a number in the phone's address book. Seniors can also learn about AT&T's Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) options as well as how to send text messages and share pictures on their phones. Participants are encouraged to bring their mobile phones, regardless of which wireless carrier they currently use. AT&T will also have free "practice" phones on-site.

In "Surfing for Seniors", starting at 1 p.m. mature adults will receive training from AT&T representatives in a classroom setting where they'll learn how to safely navigate the information superhighway, including understanding the risks and needed precautions to surf safely and securely. Topics will include how avoid spam, scams, fraud and phishing schemes, as well as privacy best practices and how to use spyware.

"Technology is no longer a vehicle used only by businesses and gadgeteers, but rather a commonality in all of our lives today," said State Representative Steve Fontana (D - North Haven). "I commend AT&T in their efforts to inform and educate the mature consumers of Connecticut on how to use this technology in a convenient and safe manner."

"These events are a great example of AT&T's philosophy to connect people with their world, where they live and work," said Ramona Carlow, president, AT&T Connecticut. "Our goal with these events is to make even better and lasting connections using mobile phones and the Internet -- both safely and securely."

Below are more dates and locations are open to the mature adult public: Mansfield: August 18, 2008, 12:30 - 4 p.m. Mansfield Senior Center 303 Maple Road, Mansfield, Conn Hartford: August 20, 2008, 10:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Southend Wellness Senior Center 830 Maple Avenue, Hartford, Conn Norwalk: August, 26, 2008, 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Norwalk Senior Center 584 Main Avenue, Norwalk, Conn Meriden: August 27, 2008, 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Meriden Senior Center 22 W.

SpectrumDNA Studios and COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Partner on Social Media ServiceThe Political Addictionary Makes Its Debut On COMEDY CENTRAL's Indecision2008.com

NEW YORK and PARK CITY, Utah, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SpectrumDNA Studios, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpectrumDNA, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SPXA) , and COMEDY CENTRAL are teaming up to create the Political Addictionary, a populist site for political lingo enthusiasts at http://politicaladdictionary.com/.

The Political Addictionary, an invention of SpectrumDNA Studios, is a linguistic barometer for the country's political climate. The institutional dictionaries of the English language haven't yet caught up with the antics of our politicians, or the craziness of the political process. This inventive wiki-like engine allows users to invent and catalogue new words to help keep the lexicon relevant, irreverent and contemporary.

COMEDY CENTRAL has launched the Political Addictionary on its Indecision 2008 site http://www.indecision2008.com/. It features the user-generated political "Word of the Day", as well as weekly "There Oughta Be a Word" challenges from the bloggers at COMEDY CENTRAL. Users can also create their own "There Oughta Be A Word" challenge by providing a definition and daring the community to come up with a word. Politicos, wonks, linguists and the casual political junky can either join in on the conversation, or just browse the clever content for pure entertainment. There are widgets, RSS feeds and games in the works, as the site is constantly growing and changing with new user created words every day. Financial terms were not disclosed.

SpectrumDNA Studios CEO Jim Banister says, "For us it was a natural partnership choice. We watch and love COMEDY CENTRAL, so we created a social media 'show' of sorts that we would personally use if we saw it on COMEDY CENTRAL's online network. In fact, we do! And we improve the Political Addictionary engine every week, based on actual user-usage and feedback from the COMEDY CENTRAL editors and producers. It's a constantly evolving engine of engagement ... for a subject that is perennially topical-politics! Would that be politopical?"

Michael Kraskin, senior producer, Indecision2008, COMEDY CENTRAL, adds, "The Political Addictionary is one-of-a-kind, which helps indecision2008.com extend our reach beyond the walls of our existing viewership. It is the perfect vehicle through which the collective audience of the 'politically interested' helps COMEDY CENTRAL sound off about the joys and pains of the electoral process. If we don't laugh, we'll cry. There oughta be a word for that!"

SGI Altix Blade Servers Earn Rare Industry Certification For Energy EfficiencySGI First to Ship 80 PLUS-Certified Single-Output Power Supplies, Allowing Customers to Reduce Energy, Cooling Costs

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As more organizations look for ways to battle soaring energy costs, SGI today announced that all its blade-based servers incorporate 80 PLUS(R) certified power supplies. The certification signifies that all SGI blade servers meet aggressive efficiency and power factor criteria across the full range of operating conditions.

The energy efficiency of SGI servers translates into lower power and cooling costs for customers. SGI servers also reduce the environmental footprint of data centers by significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with powering today's data centers.

In fact, SGI was the first server manufacturer to ship 80 PLUS certified single-output power supplies for redundant data center applications. SGI(R) Altix(R) 4700 and SGI(R) Altix(R) 450 servers have shipped with 80 PLUS Bronze certified units since January 2007. SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE 8200 has shipped with 80 PLUS Silver certified units since June 2007.

"At a time when utility companies and users alike are increasingly concerned about the financial and environmental impact of today's computer systems, SGI continues to push the envelope for improved power supply efficiency," said Geoff Wickes, director, commercial and industrial programs at Ecos Consulting, which manages the 80 PLUS Program. "SGI has distinguished itself as an industry leader by making significant technical contributions to our development efforts. We look forward to our continued collaboration on this important initiative."

In 80 PLUS tests, SGI power supplies maintain 89 percent or better efficiency(1). This means for every 100 watts of power running to the SGI blade-based servers, users can typically expect at least 89 watts will be available to run high-performance applications for scientific research, manufacturing, and enterprise computing. Many power supplies still deliver only about 60 watts for every 100, allowing up to 40 percent of supplied electricity to be wasted.

"80 PLUS is doing vital work by providing the industry with an unbiased certification for redundant server power supplies, and we are pleased to be part of this collaborative effort," said Dr. Eng Lim Goh, Chief Technology Officer, SGI. "Power supply systems play a major role in the overall energy efficiency of servers. By blending state-of-the-art technologies with industry best-practices, SGI delivers power supplies that lower recurring operating expenses and environmental impact."

For more than a year, SGI has been shipping servers equipped with 80 PLUS Bronze and Silver certified power supplies. "This serves to validate SGI's early and long-term focus on high efficiency as a key platform design parameter, enabling leadership-class applications performance per watt," Goh said.

FLO Corp. Strikes Agreement to Speed Game-Day Access for Baltimore Ravens Fans at M&T Bank StadiumRavens FLO Card Holders to Also Speed through Security at Reagan and Dulles

BALTIMORE and CHANTILLY, Va., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FLO Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: FLRP) , which markets the FLO Registered Traveler (RT) card, today signed a four-year, exclusive agreement with the Baltimore Ravens football team. This partnership will bring the numerous benefits of the FLO card to the team's fans, including preferred access starting in 2009 to M&T Bank Stadium as well as speedy access through security at Reagan, Dulles and other U.S. airports. This agreement follows closely the company's July 29 groundbreaking partnership with the Washington Redskins and accelerates FLO's value-driven business strategy which enables preferred access for FLO members to major concerts, venues and events.

FLO Chief Executive Officer Glenn Argenbright stated, "We are pleased to partner with the Baltimore Ravens. Working with such tremendous world-class organizations advances in a significant way our corporate strategy of expanding into new and exciting markets. Securing this exclusive contract with the Ravens to provide fast-lane service to fans on game day is testimony to our commitment and to the market demand for preferred-access products and services to simplify and improve all aspects of our daily, weekly and monthly routines."

"FLO's deep penetration of the Washington / Baltimore corporate and travel management company distribution channels for RT, along with the Ravens' formidable sports and consumer marketing prowess, represents a powerful, force-multiplying marketing combination for the sale of FLO cards. The sports- venue benefit is highly synergistic with FLO's airport RT and door-to-door travel benefits offerings," said Argenbright.

Ravens Vice President of National Sales and Partnerships Kevin Rochlitz agreed, "A traveler seeking Registered Traveler card access to Dulles, Reagan, BWI or other airports is quite likely to choose one that also provides fast- lane access to the Ravens and other professional sports franchises and venues in the region. This exceptional bonus for our fans is just one of many important reasons why the Ravens will unequivocally endorse the FLO proposal to provide RT services at BWI, when the time comes. Most importantly, we are pleased to help pioneer this fan-centric, affordable red-carpet treatment where our fans can enjoy fast-lane access on game day."

The new Ravens-branded card will be valid at all other FLO-sponsored sports venues as well as all RT verification stations that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration has approved at 19 U.S. airports. In addition, FLO offers an expanding variety of benefits that add value, choice and convenience far beyond the airport security and sports venue lanes. These benefits currently include more than 75 options, such as a personal concierge, worldwide airline lounge access, discounts on top brand gift cards, worldwide travel assistance, travel insurance and mortgage concierge services. Details about FLO's benefit programs can be found at http://www.flocard.com/.

FLO Executive Vice President Luke Thomas said, "We are pleased to be partnering with the Baltimore Ravens. Their executive team is exceptionally focused on innovation and enhancing the total fan experience on game day. We are committed to elevating fast-lane technology and member benefits for the lifestyle enhancement of sports fans nationwide."

A portion of every RT card sold will benefit the Ravens' All Community Team Foundation.

Omnitrans Selects CIBER for $4 Million Implementation of SAP Solutions

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER Enterprise Solutions, a division of CIBER, Inc. , has won a ten-month, $4 million contract with Omnitrans, the public transit system for the County of San Bernardino, to implement a new SAP(R) business and technology solution for the organization. Omnitrans currently uses numerous applications to run its operations. The SAP solution will replace these systems and integrate all operational data into a single repository to make strategic decision-making activities easier.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010927/CBRLOGO)

For the project, which will begin this month, CIBER will implement SAP applications, which include financials, human capital management, procurement and information technology (IT) infrastructure.

"We knew we had the manpower to complete this project, but we needed a partner to guide us through from start to finish," said Durand Rall, CEO/General Manager, Omnitrans. "We were seeking a partner with a great deal of experience with SAP solutions who could steer us toward best practices and help us avoid pitfalls. CIBER's experienced resources and strong implementation records were what convinced us that CIBER could help us accomplish more in a limited timeframe than our resources alone."

"The team of experts from CIBER, SAP and Omnitrans will help Omnitrans make the best use of its time, money, and personnel resources to deliver financial returns from this IT investment," said Patrick Bakey, President, SAP Public Services, Inc., based in Washington D.C. "The SAP solution will provide Omnitrans with the scope of functionality it needs right now, while accommodating the organization's future growth. In the end, the solution will provide the features and flexibility Omnitrans needs along with a very reasonable total cost of ownership."

Following the completion of the implementation, CIBER will advise, counsel, and mentor Omnitrans team members in the areas of implementation, training material development, trainer selection, trainer education, classroom delivery, change management, and project communication.

"This is a big initiative, but its benefits for Omnitrans will be numerous and far-reaching," said Mike Wingert, Vice President of CIBER's SAP Public Sector Practice. "By implementing SAP and therefore upgrading its financial, human resources, and materials management applications, Omnitrans can significantly increase its operational efficiencies, which translates into reduced costs and greater services to its constituents. We're very pleased to be chosen to help Omnitrans achieve these goals."

Established in 1976, Omnitrans and its 275 vehicles serve 34 fixed routes over 408 square miles to transport 15 million riders each year throughout San Bernardino County.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, today announced the availability of a full range of silicon- proven DesignWare(R) DDR IP solutions for systems-on-chips (SoCs) that require an interface to high-performance DDR3, DDR2 and DDR memory subsystems. The DesignWare DDR IP solutions deliver memory system performance of up to 1600 Mbps, the maximum data-rate of the JEDEC DDR3 specification. The solutions include configurable protocol and memory controllers, integrated mixed-signal PHYs including I/Os and verification IP. The DesignWare DDR IP portfolio provides designers with scalable solutions that help reduce risk and speed time-to-market for applications such as digital home, digital office, data center and storage.

The comprehensive DesignWare DDR IP portfolio consists of three product lines including DDR3/2, DDR2/3-Lite and DDR2/DDR, all of which have been validated and fully characterized in Synopsys' silicon test chips and support two generations of DDR SDRAM:

-- The DDR3/2 IP helps satisfy the needs of the highest performance interfaces with operation at up to 1600 Mbps and offers a wealth of in-system calibration capabilities to ease implementation of the interface at higher data rates.

-- The DDR2/3-Lite IP is an area- and feature-optimized IP solution operating at up to 1066 Mbps using DDR2 or DDR3 SDRAMs. The DDR2/3-Lite IP is ideal for SoCs that initially target DDR2 SDRAMs, and has the option of migrating to DDR3 when it becomes more cost effective without the need to modify the current SoC design.

-- The DDR2/DDR IP operates at speeds up to 1066 Mbps and is available in leading 130nm, 90nm and 65nm process technologies.

The DesignWare DDR IP provides designers with the flexibility to interface to DRAM components or dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) including support for write/read leveling as required with DDR3 DIMMs. To further configure a memory interface that is unique to each SoC, the DesignWare DDR IP permits customization of DRAM interface width, number of DRAM ranks, power I/O to signal I/O ratios, and flexible I/O placement as required by the SoC package.

Each of the three DesignWare DDR IP product lines consists of a complete solution including configurable memory and protocol controllers, integrated PHY and verification IP. Unlike other DDR controller solutions, Synopsys offers designers a choice of two digital controllers. The DesignWare DDR Memory Controllers support up to 32 on-chip application buses, quality of service (QoS)-based arbitration and optimized memory transaction scheduling. The DesignWare DDR Protocol Controllers, a unique offering, provide efficient DDR control and protocol translation allowing customers to implement their own optimized custom memory scheduler. Complementing the digital controllers are the integrated, hardened PHYs, which include the application specific I/Os, DLLs, PLLs and other PHY logic, significantly easing timing closure in the SoC design flow and within the timing budget for the overall DRAM interface.

"All generations of DDR interfaces continue to be a top priority for customers designing complex SoCs," said Desi Rhoden, Executive VP of Montage Technology and chairman of the JEDEC JC-42 Memory Committee, the organization where worldwide memory standards are developed. "As an active participant in the DRAM standards committee, Synopsys is able to anticipate future DRAM products and develop memory interfaces to match DRAM availability timelines and performance targets."

"Meeting timing closure at the latest DDR speeds is very challenging," said John Koeter, senior director of marketing for IP and Services at Synopsys. "Synopsys' expertise in analog and digital IP designs enables us to deliver a broad range of silicon-proven DDR IP that is customizable to meet the unique requirements of each end application and helps achieve timing closure at faster data rates with less risk."

NVIDIA GeForce Motherboard GPUs Power New Lines of Smaller, More Visual Consumer PCsGeForce 8200 Lets Acer Create Aspire Small-Form-Factor PCs with Stunning Visual Performance

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Suppliers of corporate and business PCs have had success in marketing small-form-factor PCs, but to date the demand for smaller PCs in the consumer market has not appeared because these PCs lacked the visual processing power to meet consumers' increasingly visual application demands. But this may be changing as consumer PCs are moving from the desktop to the living room and great visual processing technology moves more and more into the mainstream. To meet this nascent demand, PC makers like Acer are using NVIDIA(R) motherboard GPUs to deliver new lines of consumer-oriented, small-form-factor PCs that have the performance, functionality, price, and visual performance of full-sized desktop machines. The Acer Aspire x1200 and x3200 line of PCs use the NVIDIA GeForce(R) 8200 GPU to deliver stunning visual performance while solving many of the thermal, noise, and cost issues traditionally associated with designing smaller machines.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080813/AQW059) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020613/NVDALOGO)

To date, small-form-factor PCs have relied on integrated graphics chips, but with the explosive growth of visually intensive applications, integrated graphics don't deliver the performance that consumers are demanding. A dedicated GPU is needed for optimal performance.

NVIDIA GeForce motherboard GPUs are single-chip solutions that combine the performance and DirectX 10 compatibility of a GeForce GPU with the functionality of NVIDIA nForce(R) core-logic. The GeForce 8200 GPU's superior performance for a given thermal envelope, plus its full support for standard desktop PC components, give PC makers a cost-effective solution for creating smaller, quieter, and energy efficient PCs that pack a visual punch using the full range of AMD CPUs.

The GeForce 8200 GPU also gives Acer, other PC makers, and system builders flexibility in creating a line of products that are optimized for particular customer requirements. The motherboard GPU can be used in low-cost machines targeted at a mainstream audience, delivering the graphics performance needed for today's visual computing applications, like Windows Vista, and casual gaming. The motherboard GPUs also feature a dedicated PureVideo(R) HD video process that delivers superior Blu-ray and HD video performance and the GPU can be used to transcode video to play on portable devices. Or an additional GeForce graphics card can be added using NVIDIA's Hybrid SLI(R) technology with GeForce Boost. GeForce Boost combines the processing capabilities of the GeForce 8200 motherboard GPU with select GeForce 9 Series graphics cards for more graphics horsepower when running games and visually intensive apps and providing power savings when using less visually demanding functions.

"Small form factor is the direction the consumer PC market is taking," says Allen Jong, Director of Stationary Computing Business Unit, ITGO, Acer. "We chose to base our new Acer Aspire X1200 and our X3200 on the GeForce 8200 because it allows us to deliver the best performance-space ratio on desktop PCs, at a desktop price, with room for possible future expansion. The result is a line of modern, compact PCs that have the performance needed for today's visually-oriented applications."

"Industry trends are clear," says Manoj Gujral, General Manager, Platform Business of NVIDIA. "Small-form-factor PCs are going to play an increasing role in the consumer market. And motherboard GPUs like the GeForce 8200 chip are a key part to providing the visual computing power that is vital requirement for the consumer PC market."

Worldwide demand for small-form-factor consumer PCs is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.4% between 2006 and 2011.(1) The GeForce 8200 is NVIDIA's first of many motherboard GPUs targeted at this growing market.

The Acer Aspire X1200 and X3200 with the GeForce 8200 GPU are now available for purchase from retailers. Small-form-factor PCs based on GeForce motherboard GPUs are anticipated to be announce by other top PC makers in coming months.

From Minutes to Seconds: How Manifold is Using NVIDIA CUDA to Transform GIS TechnologyGeographic Information Systems are the Latest to be Transformed by NVIDIA CUDA Technology

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- From tracking 911 calls and studying carbon dioxide levels to keeping track of pesticide use, the applications of geographic information systems (GIS) are growing rapidly. NVIDIA Corporation, the world leader in visual computing technologies, and Manifold today announced that they are working closely to make GIS even more powerful through the use of the award-winning NVIDIA CUDA(TM) development environment for accelerating applications on the GPU.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020613/NVDALOGO)

"GIS datasets are growing increasingly complex, often involving many gigabytes of interactive maps. We are under pressure to deliver products capable of crunching through these datasets fast, efficiently, and accurately," said Dimitri Rotow, product manager, Manifold.net. "With the CUDA configuration, calculations that previously took 20 minutes to complete are now done in 30 seconds. Moreover, calculations that previously took 30 to 40 seconds are now real-time. It is no exaggeration to say that, at least for our industry, NVIDIA CUDA technology could be the most revolutionary development in computing since the invention of the microprocessor."

The main reason for the increasing complexity of GIS datasets is simply that more data is being collected and more detailed analysis is required. Satellite photos that were once only available to intelligence analysts are now viewable by anyone with an internet connection. In addition, "remote sensing" satellites now image the Earth using multiple sensors which collect data in multiple wavelengths and resolutions and from many different angles and the compositing of these images is an arduous task. Without GPU acceleration through CUDA, GIS users would need to settle for lower resolution data which can miss subtle terrain artifacts -- for an archeologist for example, this lower resolution could mean finding the outline of a buried fort but not the individual walls, making a dig problematic and costly.

Manifold began using CUDA in May 2007 and it took just 2 months to re-code their system to take advantage of the parallel processing power of the GPU. Manifold System Release 8, the world's most powerful, full-featured GIS package recently beat out 12 distinguished nominees including AutoDesk, Gaia, and Magellan to win the 2008 Geospatial Leadership Award at the 2008 GeoTec Conference held in Ottawa, Canada.

The Manifold nomination and award citation reads, "Manifold is the first GIS to exploit massively parallel supercomputer technology on a desktop using inexpensive plug-in cards that provide hundreds of processors for less than $500. That enables GIS tasks and analysis to be completed hundreds of times faster than before through an innovative use of inexpensive, consumer hardware."

For more information on Manifold System Release 8 visit http://www.manifold.net/ and for a demonstration of the software running with NVIDIA CUDA, visit: http://www.manifold.net/video/nvidia_cuda_demo.wmv.

Crime Stoppers of Houston, EMBARQ Establish Reward of up to $6,000 for Identification, Arrest, Charging of Texas Copper Cable ThievesCable theft threatens entire community

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- "He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it," said the Roman philosopher, Seneca. Embarq Corporation is not only heeding Seneca's advice but asking Texas residents to join with them in stopping a crime that affects the entire community -- communications cable theft.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080813/AQW019LOGO)

Crime Stoppers of Houston and EMBARQ are offering a total reward of up to $6,000 for information called in to the 713-222-8477 tips hotline that leads to the identification, arrest and charging of anyone stealing the company's live traffic-carrying cable, primarily copper, in the Houston area. EMBARQ has more than 200,000 residential and business customers in Texas.

This is the third serving area in which EMBARQ has offered a reward for cable theft. In 2007, the company began similar programs in Las Vegas, Nev., and in Warren, Ohio. Cable theft is an industry-wide issue with criminals stealing the cable for monetary gain.

"Crime Stoppers pays up to $5,000 for information called in to the 713-222-8477 tips hotline that leads to the identification, arrest and charging of any felony suspects, and we are pleased that EMBARQ is sweetening the reward," said Katherine Cabaniss, executive director of Crime Stoppers of Houston. "Their additional reward takes our efforts to a higher level. It is our hope that those who would steal copper will think twice, and those who would normally look the other way will become more actively involved in protecting the community."

"When people steal cable, it puts the entire community at risk," said Jim Hansen, senior vice president of Network Services at EMBARQ. "Cutting cable can cut emergency communications which affects everyone. Imagine having a loved one suddenly in need of emergency medical assistance, only to find communications services don't work because someone just cut the cable to steal the copper. This is a threat to everyone."

Officials believe that the copper is taken to recycling centers where it is sold as scrap. So far in the Houston area during the last 12 months, Embarq has incurred over $130,000 worth of damage due to cable theft. Stealing copper cable doesn't come without risks. Aside from the potential for arrest, there have been dozens of reports nationwide in recent months of copper thieves being electrocuted while attempting to steal copper cable from power companies.

Citizens who have information regarding the theft of live copper cable are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS where they remain anonymous.

Embarq Corporation , headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, offers a complete suite of communications services. The company has approximately 18,000 employees and operates in 18 states. EMBARQ is included in the S&P 500 and is in the Fortune 500(R) list of America's largest corporations.

ANADIGICS Nominated for EDN China Innovation AwardCompany's WCDMA Power Amplifier Nominated for Best Device Award by One of China's Top Trade Magazines

WARREN, N.J., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANADIGICS, Inc. today announced its HELP3(TM) WCDMA dual-band power amplifier (PA), AWT6221, has been nominated for an EDN China Innovation Award. ANADIGICS' AWT6221 is competing for the "Best Device Award" in the Communication IC category.

EDN Innovation Award is one of the most prestigious awards in California's Silicon Valley, with an 18 year history to recognize achievements in the design of IC and related products. It was introduced to China in 2005 to encourage adoption of innovated IC products, and is now one the most influential awards in China's electronics engineering industry. EDN China Innovation Award finalists will be selected by a jury of industry peers, comprised of technical experts from the industry, university and institutes, and EDN China editors. Once the finalist list is complete, EDN China readers can log online to cast their vote for final award winners.

The AWT6221 dramatically reduces average current consumption by 75%, which translates to up to 25% increase in talk-time. ANADIGICS' HELP3(TM) PAs like AWT6221 use the company's exclusive InGaP-Plus(TM) technology, which integrates bipolar and field-effect transistor (FET) devices on the same InGaP GaAs die. Through selectable bias modes, the HELP3(TM) PAs achieve optimal efficiency across the low-range and mid-range output power levels. The intelligent bias circuit of AWT6221 reduces current consumption to 8mA at low power levels -- the world's best. Through the integration of two independent PA chains, the tiny AWT6221 delivers uncompromised performance in both frequency bands and conserves printed-circuit board area.

"ANADIGICS is extremely excited to be nominated by industry peers for such a prestigious honor awarded by EDN China," said Ali Khatibzadeh, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Products, ANADIGICS, Inc. "ANADIGICS' mission has always been to help lead the semiconductor market into the next generation with innovative wireless and wireline RF solutions that result from strategic forward thinking and leadership products like the AWT6221."

CargoSmart Provides Customers Advanced Shipment Tracking Insight and Business Process Optimization With TIBCO SOANew software enables CargoSmart to increase supply chain visibility and collaboration for shippers, consignees, and logistics service providers

HONG KONG, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TIBCO Software Inc. today announced that CargoSmart Limited, a leading global logistics Software as a Service (SaaS) solution provider has successfully deployed TIBCO SOA infrastructure software. This implementation is the first in the industry to provide customers with advanced visibility and collaboration solutions, including Exception Management and Milestone Assignments, with the TIBCO SOA infrastructure.

CargoSmart customers are now able to resolve shipment issues sooner with exception detection, avoid costly delays with proactive exception management, and gain efficiencies by monitoring shipment events alongside business processes set up as user-defined milestones. "The ocean carrier portal market was becoming commoditized. To maintain a leadership position in the industry, we needed to provide customers a way to more tightly integrate CargoSmart with their business processes to provide more speed, visibility, and value. Clearly, this required an enterprise messaging platform with high scalability, availability and extensibility to handle both current and future global logistics solutions," said Steve Siu, chief executive officer, CargoSmart.

CargoSmart uses TIBCO Enterprise Message Service(TM), TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks(TM) and TIBCO BusinessConnect(TM) for its platform integration. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service serves as the information backbone, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks orchestrates sequences of service interactions into short or long-lived business processes and TIBCO BusinessConnect acts as an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transformation engine to facilitate message format conversion among external parties.

"By using TIBCO, our applications can easily scale out horizontally by deploying processes into different ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks engines riding on the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service architecture -- the foundation for an event-driven SOA that thousands of TIBCO customers have already successfully deployed," concluded Steve Siu.

The driving force behind the decision was an SOA adoption initiative that CargoSmart had already begun. TIBCO's leadership in the SOA arena aligned well with CargoSmart's plan for Business Process Modeling and Execution and event-driven architecture. The entire SOA infrastructure put in place by TIBCO enabled CargoSmart to develop and deploy its products as services and integrate its system using events riding on the Enterprise Messaging Bus.

The solution platform allowed CargoSmart to develop products more quickly to meet dynamic market requirements. Services reuse and subsequently cost benefits are other positive byproducts of SOA adoption for the company. Further, using the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service implementation, services can be deployed and run on various distributed platforms and be accessed across networks to further maximize services reuse.

TIBCO spokesperson, Murat Sonmez, executive vice president, global field operations, said, "Leading companies like CargoSmart recognize that event-driven architecture is the next step in enabling business and IT collaboration. By enabling real-time analysis of business information, CargoSmart gives their customers the power to monitor and react to business exceptions immediately. The solution also sets the stage for bringing to market a series of new products for customers to better manage their supply chain processes."

CargoSmart is now working with TIBCO on the next phase of advanced solutions, a document workflow management product that builds upon the exception management and milestone assignment products.

About CargoSmart

CargoSmart Limited (http://www.cargosmart.com/) is a global logistics Software as a Service (SaaS) solution provider, with advanced visibility and exception management, enabling shippers, consignees and logistics service providers to keep cargo moving and delivered on time.

Franklin Electronic Publishers Reports First Quarter Results

BURLINGTON, N.J., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Franklin Electronic Publishers, Incorporated , a world leader in electronic handheld information, today reported a net loss of $1,163,000 or $0.14 per share for the fiscal 2009 first quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to net income of $68,000 or $0.01 per share in the same quarter last year. Sales in the current period declined to $11,993,000 from $13,675,000 in the prior year.

The lower sales resulted primarily from the continued decline in sales from the Company's North American operation. The North American decline was primarily due to retail pressure brought about by the economic situation in the U.S. and its impact on sell through, a significant customer who did not purchase from us in the current quarter and a voluntary reduction of shipments to another significant customer due to credit issues and the unavailability of credit insurance with respect to such customer.

Sales from our European operation were approximately flat in the current fiscal quarter compared to the same period last year, notwithstanding that last year's quarter benefited from an approximately $800,000 promotional sale to a customer that did not purchase in the current quarter.

The first quarter earnings were impacted by the decline in North American sales as well as by one-time charges of $718,000 consisting of separation pay from our cost cutting initiative earlier in the quarter and an investment loss resulting from the liquidation by its sponsor of a short-term fixed income fund. Without these two one-time charges, the company would have shown a loss of approximately $445,000 during the current fiscal quarter.

Barry Lipsky, Franklin's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated "In spite of the first quarter being our seasonally weakest quarter, the decline in our North American operations is still disappointing. While economic conditions continue to impact our results, we have been diligent in our efforts to become more cost effective, maintain a strong financial discipline and remain focused on implementing our strategic initiatives. In the early part of the quarter, we transitioned certain U.S. based roles to our Hong Kong facility and have outsourced other functions that required higher infrastructure costs. This led to a reduction of approximately 10% of our U.S. workforce and should result in an annual full year savings of $1,000,000. Despite retail pressures, we have continued to maintain strong margins tracking in line with last year's quarter. Excluding the one-time charges, our operating results exceeded our internal budget expectations." Mr. Lipsky added, "We also just completed our new long term Strategic Plan and we remain confident we are on the right path to guide us to growth in revenue and bottom line earnings."
