Jinpan International Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results- 2Q08 Sales Increases 26.7% to $40.6 Million -- 2Q08 Net Income Increases 47.4% to $6.0 Million -

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jinpan International Ltd. , a leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of cast resin transformers for voltage distribution equipment, today announced consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Total sales for the second quarter reached $40.6 million, a 26.7% increase over total sales of $32.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily a result of strong demand for the Company's cast resin transformers, both in China and internationally. International sales in the second quarter increased 163% to $5.0 million, or 12.3% of total sales compared to $1.9 million, or 6% of total sales, for the same period last year. Cast resin transformers, switch gears & unit substations represented $37.0 million of sales in the second quarter while wind transformers and wind reactor products represented $3.6 million of total sales.

Gross profit in the second quarter was $13.8 million, a 29.7% increase over the same period last year. Second quarter gross margin increased 80 basis points to 34.1%, compared to 33.3% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to increased sales of higher margin, customized transformer and wind power products.

Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were $7.0 million, or 17.3% of sales, compared to $5.5 million, or 17.0% of sales, in the same period last year. Selling and administrative expenses increased slightly primarily due to new facility expansion initiatives.

Operating income in the second quarter of 2008 increased to $6.8 million, or 16.8% of sales, compared to $5.2 million, or 16.2% of sales in the same period last year.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 increased 47.4% to $6.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Second quarter net income as a percentage of sales increased 210 basis points to 14.9% from 12.8% in the same period last year.

Mr. Zhiyuan Li, Chief Executive Officer of Jinpan, commented, "We made excellent progress in our business in the second quarter. We acheived sales increases for our core cast resin transformer products; we grew sales in both our domestic and international businesses; and demand for our wind power applications continued to gain healthy momentum. In spite of higher raw material costs, we were able to increase our gross margin 80 basis points largely due to increased sales of higher margin, customized cast resin transformer and wind power products.

During the quarter, we commenced operations at our new 267,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Wuhan. This facility is centrally located, closer to our material suppliers and provides easy access to highways and railroads."

On the balance sheet for the second quarter of 2008, construction in progress and short-term bank loans increased primarily due to the Company's recent acquisition of a new manufacturing site in Shanghai.

Accounts receivable at June 30, 2008, increased to $57.0 million from $43.0 million as of December 31, 2007 largely due to the increase in total sales.

Inventories at June 30, 2008 were valued at $33.2 million, a slight decrease from the end of the first quarter of 2008 and a 29% increase from the end of the fourth quarter of 2007.

Acquisition of Shanghai Manufacturing Site

On June 18, 2008, the Company purchased land for a new manufacturing facility located in the Shanghai Qinpu Industrial Park, in Shanghai, China. This site covers an area of 764,384 square feet and is zoned for industrial use. The site contains several partially completed buildings designed for manufacturing which were never completed because the previous owner was in the process of constructing the buildings when it filed for bankruptcy. The purchase price of this site was approximately $9.3 million plus administrative fees associated with the closing. To fund this purchase, the Company secured a bank loan of approximately $5.8 million and also used approximately $3.5 million of cash from its balance sheet.

Mr. Li continued, "We are excited to be acquiring a site in the Shanghai region. Purchasing the manufacturing site that contained partially completed buildings saves us significant time and construction related expenses. At the Shanghai facility, we plan to focus on the production of complementary power distribution products primarily for wind power applications, which is the fastest growing segment of our business.

2008 Financial Outlook

The Company reiterates its 2008 outlook of sales of approximately $155 million, which represents a 30% increase over 2007 sales of $119.6 million, and net income of approximately $21.4 million, or approximately $2.64 per diluted share, which represents a 30% increase over 2007 net income of $16.4 million, or $2.03 per diluted share. These forecasts include the sales contributions from the recently opened Wuhan manufacturing facility.

Mr. Li continued, "We are positioning our business for continued growth in the areas of cast resin transformers, integrated assembly products (switchgears and unit substations) and wind transformer and reactor products. With respect to operations of each of our manufacturing facilities, our Haikou facility will primarily focus on manufacturing high-end customized transformer products; our Wuhan facility will primarily focus on manufacturing standard cast resin transformers and our future Shanghai facility will primarily focus on manufacturing wind power products (transformers and reactors) and sophisticated switchgears and substation units, all of which are currently being manufactured at our Haikou facility.

The initiatives we have in place today will better position us for growth in the future. We continue to focus on expanding our market share within China's growing electrical infrastructure market, investing in new state-of-the-art facilities to increase manufacturing capacity and efficiency, and developing high margin power generation products for existing and new geographic regions. We are encouraged by our progress and look forward to continued future success," concluded Li.

Northeastern Pennsylvania Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Calling, Data Access, and Music

MOSCOW, Pa., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for Northeastern Pennsylvania residents, Verizon Wireless has expanded its network with two new cell sites in the region in the month of August. The new sites increase coverage and capacity in both Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. In Lackawanna County, coverage and capacity will increase along Routes 348, 590, 690, as well as Interstate 84 and the Mount Cobb area. In Luzerne County, coverage and capacity will increase along Route 115 between Shades Creek and Blakeslee.

The network expansion is part of an aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year (more than $1 billion every 90 days) to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless' voice and data services. Verizon Wireless continues to improve its wireless network in Pennsylvania. So far this year, the company reports it has spent nearly $150 million on new cell sites and other upgrades that give customers clearer reception and fewer dropped calls. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.6 billion in Pennsylvania since 2000.

Nationally, the company has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to offer customers the most reliable service available, including wireless data services such as picture messaging and text messaging and the company's exclusive V CAST service. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones over Verizon Wireless' high-speed EV-DO network. Verizon Wireless' high-speed third generation wireless broadband network has been enhanced with EV-DO Rev. A technology. This enhancement allows customers who use the company's flagship business data service, BroadbandAccess, to interact with Web-based applications, download music over-the-air, access to e-mail, everyday corporate data, the Internet, and more at speeds that are eight to nine times faster than before. For example, BroadbandAccess customers with Rev. A compatible devices can now expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers can download a 1 megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same sized file in less than 13 seconds.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the second quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers. For the 15th consecutive quarter, Verizon Wireless also led the wireless industry with an all-time high in customer loyalty. The company posted a churn (customer turnover) rate of just 1.1 percent, setting an industry and company record.

Verizon Wireless tests its network and those of its competitors to ensure the Verizon Wireless network remains the nation's most reliable. Nationally, Verizon Wireless' real-life test men and women drive 98 specially equipped vehicles almost 1 million miles annually on interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to determine if voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

To effectively address the growing regulatory records management requirements, organizations are looking to make it easier for records managers and firm staff to follow firm filing and retention polices, and manage those policies from a single administration system.

The net benefits of the new improvements are faster and easier deployments, higher productivity for the records staff, lower total cost of ownership, and the ability for the solution to adapt to changing records practices.

"We need to apply consistent governance policies to manage electronic and paper records across our various practice areas, and automate as much of the records retention process as possible so our attorneys can focus on critical client matters," said Shawn Mitkowski, chief information officer at Zuckerman Spaeder.

Customers and Analysts Share Broad Support and Excitement for Interwoven's Acquisition of Discovery MiningInterwoven Now Delivering Innovative Solution to Significantly Streamline and Simplify the eDiscovery Process

DALLAS, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ILTA 2008 CONFERENCE -- Interwoven, Inc. , a global leader in content management solutions, has received strong validation from its customers and analysts regarding the recent acquisition of eDiscovery provider Discovery Mining. With this acquisition, customers now have access to a comprehensive eDiscovery solution from a recognized market leader with a global footprint, a proven track record of innovation and execution, and a deep commitment to the legal market.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071205/INTWOVLOGO)

"Our key stakeholders see this acquisition as a strategic move for Interwoven, recognizing the industry insight that we'll provide to the eDiscovery market," said Joe Cowan, CEO of Interwoven. "They also recognize the value it can deliver to professional services firms, as we continue to add to our already comprehensive set of content management solutions to organize, find, and govern firm content. We're pleased with the reaction to the acquisition, and we'll continue our laser focus on remaining a trusted partner to the firms who have Interwoven at the core of their practice."

Interwoven Discovery Mining's Software-as-a-Service offering provides a reliable and comprehensive service to process, host, review, and produce discovery documents related to litigation, internal investigations, regulatory responses, and mergers and acquisitions. This further extends Interwoven's offerings -- the legal industry's de facto standard for organizing, finding, and governing matter content -- by adding a service for managing eDiscovery that can:

-- Quickly scale as data volumes increase through a Software-as-a-Service model that eliminates the need for the firm to invest in data processing power;

-- Present data in a way that is simple to review and access via an intuitive interface for ease of use -- users can review and assess information from a web browser with nominal training;

-- Manage and produce data so it can easily be exported to third parties or litigation support systems; and,

-- Offer predictable timeframes and pricing through well-defined methodology and skilled project management teams with proven experience in complex litigation and investigations.

Key Stakeholders Show Strong Support of Acquisition

"Our lawyers -- and even our clients -- see the value of the Interwoven Discovery Mining solution to provide the results needed to get our jobs done quickly and efficiently," said Joan Washburn, director of litigation support for Holland & Knight LLP. "Interwoven's vision for providing firm-wide information management solutions that make firms operate more effectively confirms we made the right decision in selecting Interwoven as a technology partner."

"I am excited at the prospect of having a single technology provider that not only will have the capability to store the firm's documents and e-mails, but also our client's production documents," said Laura Bandrowsky, practice support director for Duane Morris LLP. "Interwoven's acquisition of Discovery Mining is something that every firm who uses document management and eDiscovery solutions will benefit from."

"Growing amounts of digital information combined with ever changing legal regulations across borders makes eDiscovery a challenge for any firm," said Reza Alexander, litigation and practice support manager for DLA Piper UK LLP. "The scale of Interwoven's document and e-mail management capabilities were already robust, and with the addition of Discovery Mining's turnkey solution, DLA Piper can better manage the review of large volumes of electronic information, regardless of language -- with greater consistency and lower costs, whilst at the same time mitigating against the unique and complex European eDiscovery data protection issues."

"Delivering eDiscovery as Software-as-a-Service is one of the best ways to accurately analyze and search large amounts of data in a cost-efficient and timely way, with little to no infrastructure investments for law firms and corporations," said Vivian Tero, Program Manager of IDC. "With Discovery Mining, Interwoven now offers a comprehensive suite dedicated to the professional services industry, and is an important element to defining the future of legal technology solutions."

Interwoven and LexisNexis Team Up to Introduce Integrated SolutionIndustry Leaders Combine Strengths in Enterprise Search, Document Management, and Legal Content and Analysis for Streamlined Workflow Approach To Knowledge Management

DALLAS, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ILTA 2008 CONFERENCE -- Interwoven, Inc. , a global leader in content management solutions, today announced it has entered into an agreement with global business information solutions provider LexisNexis to integrate and launch Lexis(R) Search Advantage, a new search enrichment offering, with Interwoven Universal Search.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071205/INTWOVLOGO)

The integration of Lexis Search Advantage with Interwoven Universal Search will combine the market leading enterprise search solution for professional service firms with content and services from LexisNexis(R) to provide law firm attorneys a single destination to efficiently find and leverage internal work product and trusted content from LexisNexis. Lexis Search Advantage is available immediately in the U.S. market by LexisNexis.

The agreement supports a growing demand in the legal industry for technology providers to combine expertise to offer more integrated and powerful solutions to help attorneys streamline workflow and productivity. Lawyers today must use a multitude of technology solutions to perform daily functions with little-to-no integration or context between the technologies. This results in a productivity drain that negatively impacts firm profits and can harm client satisfaction due to the inconsistent application of firm best practices.

"To compete and win on a global scale, today's law firms require streamlined technology solutions," said Mike Walsh, CEO U.S. Legal Markets, LexisNexis. "The integrated product offering by LexisNexis and Interwoven is a perfect example of two respected market leaders delivering enhanced workflow capabilities to improve productivity, increase profitability, and stimulate growth."

The combination of the market leading Interwoven Universal Search solution with the new Lexis(R) Search Advantage solution provides law firms with a powerful asset that unifies and integrates access to content across multiple internal and LexisNexis sources, to provide a unique and comprehensive search environment. The benefits to law firms include:

-- Significant streamlined workflow in a more intuitive and efficient manner, driving higher levels of client service and improved profitability

-- Richer contextual search capability with simultaneous searching of all internal documents and LexisNexis services at http://www.lexis.com/. LexisNexis research solutions are used daily by lawyers and relied on as the most authoritative, comprehensive collection of legal, news and business, and risk and analytics content available anywhere

-- Integration of real-time Shepard's Signal(TM) indicators in internal documents instantly allow attorneys to confirm if a case law citation is strong, accurate, and on point. This eliminates several manual steps that lawyers must take to examine current legal validity of a citation

-- Powerful enterprise search technology and Web 2.0-based user experience and navigation to drive a tailored and comprehensive search experience

-- Documents within a firm's content repositories are enriched with additional metadata to enable enhanced identification and improved access to relevant external documents

"This alliance exemplifies the thought leadership Interwoven and LexisNexis have in the legal industry and demonstrates Interwoven's commitment to help solve the complex information management challenges of law firms," said Joe Cowan, CEO at Interwoven. "Customers want their top technology providers to work closely together to drive increased efficiencies, reduce risk, and provide better leverage of their investments. By working together with LexisNexis, we can make a big difference to a fundamental aspect of a law firm's operation."

Verizon Wireless Investing More Than $100 Million in Upstate New York Network Enhancements in 200880 New Cell Sites to be Activated Region-Wide; Wireless Broadband Continues to Expand: Coverage Coming To Northway in Adirondack Park

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today that, for the eighth consecutive year, the company will invest more than $100 million in network enhancements throughout Upstate New York in 2008, including the addition of 80 new cell sites throughout the region. This investment brings Verizon Wireless' total network investment in Upstate New York to more than $1 billion since 2000 -- significantly more than any other wireless company.

In addition to the new cell sites, the company is also continuing to expand BroadbandAccess, its high-speed wireless broadband network, across the region and is working on a project to bring wireless coverage to a nearly 50-mile stretch of Interstate 87 between Albany and Plattsburgh.

"Investment in our network is an investment in customer satisfaction," said Marquett Smith, president of the company's Upstate New York Region. "Providing an outstanding customer experience starts with the network and customers continue to choose Verizon Wireless because they know their wireless device is only as reliable as the network it's on."

The regional investment is part of a more than $5.5 billion average annual investment nationwide -- more than $45 billion invested since the company was formed.

Expanding BroadbandAccess coverage

The company recently expanded BroadbandAccess, its high-speed wireless data service, into Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Delaware, Otsego, Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties, and continues to build out its BroadbandAccess coverage areas throughout the region. By year end, the company plans to have 96% of the Upstate New York population and 73% of the region's geographical area covered by third generation EV-DO technology.

Verizon Wireless customers throughout much of New York State can now enjoy an untethered mobile office experience, enabling them to wirelessly access the Internet, email and other data on their laptop computers at faster speeds, and download music, watch videos and play 3D games on their phones. BroadbandAccess provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, translating to being able to download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

Verizon Wireless' wireless broadband network now stretches across Western, Central and Eastern New York from Lake Erie to the Hudson River Valley, including the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica/Rome, Albany, Jamestown, Elmira/Corning, Ithaca, Binghamton, Watertown, Canton/Potsdam, Glens Falls, Poughkeepsie and into the New York City area, as well as hundreds of towns and villages across the state.

Bringing coverage to the Northway

Last year, Verizon Wireless unveiled its plan to bring wireless service to the Northway corridor within the Adirondack Park by building 13 new cell sites in six communities. To date, four sites have been approved and the company expects to have them in service by the end of the year. Applications for the remaining cell sites will be submitted upon completion.

In addition to building new sites and expanding its network coverage and capacity, the company also continues to invest in redundancy capabilities designed to keep the network operating during power outages and in its rigorous quality assurance program -- daily testing designed to analyze network reliability and assist the company in targeting improvements.

Verizon Wireless' investment in the Upstate New York region reflects its commitment to offer customers the most reliable wireless service available. The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now" national advertising campaign.

These engineers drive 90 specially equipped vehicles almost 1 million miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 3 million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

Verizon Wireless customers have the benefit of the 30-day Test Drive, an industry first that lets customers experience its network virtually risk-free for 30 days. If customers are not satisfied with their experience and take their number to another carrier, Verizon Wireless will refund their money for calls, equipment, activation fee and taxes.

BroadbandAccess

The network expansion into this area enables Verizon Wireless' business customers to experience a truly mobile office experience with BroadbandAccess, giving them access to their calendars, the Internet, e-mail and critical business information residing behind their companies' firewalls. BroadbandAccess was developed with a range of users in mind and enables large enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection.

Customers in wireless broadband coverage areas can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, which means customers can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds. To help customers stay connected, BroadbandAccess seamlessly switches over to the company's NationalAccess service if a customer travels outside of the BroadbandAccess coverage area.

V CAST Music with Rhapsody

The company's network powers its V CAST Music with Rhapsody service, which combines Verizon Wireless' world-class, over-the-air mobile music service with Rhapsody's leading desktop solution. Delivering unlimited monthly access to music on up to three V CAST Music with Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers, V CAST Music with Rhapsody lets customers who purchase music over-the-air download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be played.

V CAST

The company's V CAST service offers customers the ability to play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to handsets. V CAST offers content updated daily so customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather, sports highlights and the hottest entertainment clips.

Network Technology and Investment

Verizon Wireless' broadband network is based on CDMA 1x Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology and provides Verizon Wireless customers in this area with speeds significantly faster than the company's NationalAccess service.

The multi-million dollar expansion entailed installing high-tech wireless hardware and software in wireless transmission sites throughout the region. It is part of an ongoing network investment by Verizon Wireless, which has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. To date in 2008, Verizon Wireless has invested over $110 million in the expansion and enhancement of its network in Georgia.

Trina Solar Signs Supplemental Agreement to the Long Term Supply Agreement with GCL Silicon Technology

CHANGZHOU, China, Aug. 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trina Solar Limited (''Trina Solar'' or the ''Company''), a leading integrated manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products from the production of ingots, wafers and cells to the assembly of PV modules, founded in 1997, today announced that its subsidiary, Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd., has signed a supplemental agreement to the long-term polysilicon supply agreement with a subsidiary of GCL Silicon Technology Holdings Inc. (collectively, ''GCL Silicon Technology'').

Together with the original supply agreement announced in April of this year, GCL Silicon Technology will supply Trina Solar with virgin polysilicon and wafers sufficient to produce approximately 4,825 MW of solar modules in aggregate over eight years. Delivery of polysilicon at predetermined prices started in April of 2008.

''This supplemental agreement greatly extends our advantage in securing high quality polysilicon feedstock at predetermined prices to support our long-term sales growth. Combined with our other long-term agreements and increased manufacturing efficiencies, we remain confident in our abilities to expand our margins in the long term as the cost of solar energy approaches grid parity levels,'' said Jifan Gao, Trina Solar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

''Further, the supplemental agreement's inclusion of significant wafer quantities, starting in 2010, reflects a significant revision to our capacity expansion strategy, whereby future expansion will involve increased cell and module capacity additions relative to those for ingot and wafer. We believe that this flexible strategy will offer increased output of solar modules to achieve better market penetration under our increasingly recognized brand. This will also allow us to place our technology improvement emphasis on cell and module value areas to further strengthen our brand. For 2009, we intend to leverage on this dynamic strategy to efficiently extend our capacity growth to approximately 700MW for cell and module areas, while expanding ingot and wafer production capacities to approximately 500MW.''

''Trina Solar is an important strategic customer and we are encouraged by their progress made so far," said Hunter Jiang, CEO of GCL Silicon Technology. "GCL Silicon Technology remains committed to expand its production capacity to meet the growing demand from customers such as Trina Solar."

This supplemental supply agreement will further increase the Company's raw material supplies and enhance its cost structure, and therefore strengthen its position as a leading global PV manufacturer. After signing this supplemental agreement and together with other polysilicon supply agreements, the Company has now secured approximately 95% of its estimated silicon feedstock requirements for 2008, an equivalent of approximately 204 MW based on a production target of 210 to 220 MW of module output. The Company has also secured sufficient feedstock through its long term contracts to produce approximately 380 MW of solar modules in 2009.

About Trina Solar Limited

Trina Solar Limited is a well recognized manufacturer of high quality modules and has a long history as a solar PV pioneer since it was founded in 1997 as a system installation company.

EPA's WasteWise was launched in 1994 as a program designed to assist organizations in eliminating costly municipal solid waste and select industrial wastes. The goal of the program was to provide the resources for partners to design a unique waste reduction program tailored to their specific needs which would benefit both the environment and the organization's bottom line. Today the program has a membership of over 2,000 partners including major corporations, institutions, and government agencies.

Partners of WasteWise agree to set and work towards goals in three important areas of waste reduction -- waste prevention, recycling, and buying or manufacturing recycled content products.

Marc Sherman, chairman and chief executive officer of QSGI, commented, "We are very pleased to be a part of the WasteWise program, which further illustrates our commitment to handling our clients' technology in the most environmentally beneficial manner. Our industry leading erasure, auditing and re-marketing program minimizes the volume of waste to achieve a re-marketing rate of almost 98%, and we pride ourselves on our EPA compliant recycling program so that the remaining 2% of physical waste does not end up in a land fill. Though we have always adhered to the highest environmental standards, we look forward to our participation the U.S. EPA WasteWise program."

According to the EPA, the amount of waste diverted from landfills by recycling has doubled in the last decade. The environmental benefits of recycling include a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions, overall energy savings, and a reduced need for landfills and incinerators.

Open Text Announces Comprehensive Email Lifecycle Management Solution for Law FirmsSolution Helps Law Firms Define, Secure and Control Email Content from Creation to DispositionSignificantly Boosts Productivity While Reducing Storage and IT costs

GRAPEVINE, TX, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ILTA '08 - Open Text(TM) Corporation , a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), announced today the release of an email management offering for its law firm customers. Combining fundamental email filing and archiving capabilities, the solution helps firms define, secure and control the processes by which emails are managed, retained and disposed, providing key benefits such as improved productivity, better email system performance, and reduced storage and IT costs.

Open Text Email Lifecycle Management for Law Firms addresses the largest business problem facing firms around the world today: managing enormous volumes of client- and matter-related emails. Combining Open Text's Email Archiving for Microsoft Exchange with Open Text LegalKEY records management capabilities allows users to manage the entire lifecycle of emails from creation to disposition. Robust server-based rules identify when emails should be archived from the message server. Users can still view archived emails in their inboxes and easily access archived messages with a single click.

With the Open Text solution, users also have access to multiple profiling tools which let them properly classify emails into the firm's document management system so that, for example, an important email on a client matter can be filed with the client's other case documents. These tools include watching Microsoft Outlook folders and auto-filing new emails dragged into Outlook folders, as well as suggesting logical classifications based on email addressing and threads. Emails which have been classified in the document management system are marked, reducing duplication of effort across the user community.

Additional end-user controls are then layered on top, which support retention and disposition of emails according to compliance mandates and internal policies. With email filing, users actively participate in the process of classifying emails as business records. Once captured as records, emails are then managed securely over the course of their lifecycle, fully preservable with legal holds in the event of audit or discovery, and quickly retrievable with integrated full-text search. Open Text Email Lifecycle Management for Law Firms helps control infrastructure costs associated with messaging systems, while providing easy-to-use interfaces for users to classify messages as business records.

"Law firms are often challenged by the ambiguity of information that is being stored in their email servers, making it increasingly difficult to assess and understand what content is locked away in user accounts, let alone focus on how to extract and use it," said Mohit Thawani, Business Development Manager, Legal Solutions Group at Open Text. "Our solution gives law firms an automated and reliable way of categorizing high-value and high-volume mission-critical content, along with a targeted approach for moving this content into a more accessible system, saving time and significantly increasing productivity."

Australia's IRESS Optimises Next-Generation Data Center With Radware's OnDemand SwitchRadware Speeds-Up the Delivery of IRESS' Financial Management Applications Across the Network; Increasing End-User Productivity Whilst Lowering Infrastructure Costs

MAHWAH, New Jersey, August 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware , the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, announced today its OnDemand Switch(TM) platform has been deployed by IRESS Market Technology, a principal supplier of share market and wealth management systems based in Australia. IRESS implemented Radware's scalable, cost-effective switch to enhance business continuity at its data centers, simplify network topology and provide customers the assurance of always-available financial industry information.

IRESS provides comprehensive financial industry data and functionality to a broad, and growing, range of financial market professionals across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. Handling time critical financial information, IRESS required an application delivery solution that would ensure a highly-redundant data centre infrastructure across multiple sites and greater investment protection, as new customers were sourced and new financial management applications were offered. This was crucial as IRESS' previously implemented solution, while functional was both expensive to maintain and limited to deliver future business requirements.

To meet its immediate needs, IRESS deployed Radware's OnDemand Switch, a new hardware platform for Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) that delivers breakthrough performance and superior scalability through an easy-to-upgrade license approach, for additional throughput and services.

Immediate benefits obtained through the deployment by IRESS of Radware's OnDemand Switch include:

Business benefits: - Assured business continuity through transparent and immediate redirection of customers between data centers - Guaranteed on demand scalability and decreased costs to facilitate the delivery of future business requirements; - Clear improvement of ROI, based on costs associated with project lifecycle, upgrade costs, annual software licenses, maintenance, energy, cooling and rack space; - Decrease in overall management overhead; - Significant increase in performance, visibility and reporting. Technical benefits: - Substantially better performance in layer 4-7 switching, transactions per second capacity and more; - Constant availability and optimized performance of its premier share market information system through SSL offloading and application acceleration; - Substantial simplification of the application front-end topology delivering local and global application switching; - Added new layers of fault tolerance, creating a transparent and immediate re-direction of mission-critical applications between its two Australian data centers; - Future proof architecture with On Demand scalability - no need for costly redesigns of architecture, hardware fork-lift upgrades.

"We considered a number of solutions, and after a rigorous evaluation process, we chose Radware for its strong technical benefits, including the URL re-write function, redirection functionality, global load balancing and SSL off-load features," said Dale Monger, Global Head of Networks, IRESS. "From a business perspective, we are confident in the ability of Radware's solution to generate a healthy return on investment, as we anticipate a reduced total cost of ownership associated with lower annual software licenses, maintenance fees and rack space."

During the initial deployment, IRESS replicated its primary data center site to its secondary site; enabling Radware's global redirection functionality to provide the active-active utilization of both data centers. As a result of this implementation, IRESS replicated a similar Radware deployment strategy in its Canadian data center.

"Our goal is to help fulfill our customer's next generation datacenter requirements by speeding up the delivery of applications across the network, adding redundancy and delivering on scalability," said Mick Stephens, General Manager, Radware Australia and New Zealand. "We believe our OnDemand Switch has been an optimal solution to support IRESS' growing financial IT infrastructure needs - and will continue to optimize mission-critical applications to best support IRESS' rapidly expanding business."

Swimmers Deliver the Gold in Speedo Suit Designed With Help From SGIFluid Flow Studies Conducted on SGI Altix Help Reduce Drag

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When sports enthusiasts look back on this year's Summer Games in Beijing, they'll recall an historic event in which a single swimmer earned eight gold medals in eight days. But they may also remember 2008 as the year swimming and supercomputing became one.

That's because swimmers from the U.S. and around the world shattered records and brought home medals while wearing elite Speedo Fastskin(R) LZR Racer(R) swimwear designed in part on supercomputers from SGI (http://www.sgi.com/ ).

More than two years ago, Speedo's Aqualab research and development facility turned to powerful SGI(R) Altix(R) (http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/altix/4000/) systems to develop the next generation of its performance swimwear. Engineers ran computational fluid dynamics (http://www.sgi.com/industries/cfd/ )(CFD) analyses to better understand how to optimize the flow of water around a swimmer and to create the designs and materials that would give athletes a winning edge.

Combined with water and wind tunnel tests, the CFD analyses were part of a scientific approach to product design that ultimately created the Fastskin LZR Racer, which features 5 percent less passive drag than the Fastskin(R) FS-Pro, the suit Speedo introduced in 2007.

Where Swimming and Supercomputing Meet -- Researchers believe that swimmers perform better in suits that streamline the body and channel the flow of water around it, thus reducing drag. -- CFD modeling shows how the water flows around the body. Different suits are designed for male and female athletes because CFD has determined that females produce a more separated flow, where the water actually leaves the surface of the swimmer. -- The SGI Altix system architecture speeds up the design process by shortening data access time and computational runs. This makes it an ideal platform for complex CFD analysis for designing next-generation swimsuits, cars, airplanes or rockets.

OpenSRS Web Hosting Industry Survey: Resellers Missing Opportunity with Social Network Users

TORONTO, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tucows Inc., a leading provider of Internet services to web hosting companies and ISPs worldwide, announced today the results of an industry survey conducted by its reseller services group OpenSRS at the HostingCon 2008 conference in Chicago last month. Survey findings revealed resellers of email and domain names are missing significant business opportunities to tap into social network users.

Of the respondents, 60% have their own blog or personal website, and nearly three-fourths use social networks like Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and FriendFeed to share information with friends and family. Despite the majority of people using social networking services, 81% of the respondents in the web hosting industry do not believe these "web 2.0" or functional-hosting businesses could hurt their business.

"While the web hosting industry does not view social networks as a threat to its business, people are going to functional-hosts for services that allow them to share information online. This demonstrates that there are opportunities for web hosts to tap into consumers who embrace social networks - but these opportunities are being overlooked by the very industry that knows the Internet best," said Ken Schafer, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing for Tucows. "It's important that as the web hosting industry moves forward, we understand that Internet users are seeking a customized, personalized, Internet experience for both personal and professional reasons. Ultimately, it's about customer relationships. Providers and resellers need to work together to provide the support, services and infrastructure that give users the best experience."

Other results of the survey revealed that 73% of all domain name resellers enjoy working with their provider. In addition, three-fourths of domain name resellers believe their provider understands its needs and nearly one-half have no complaints with their provider, but of those that did, the top complaints were poor communication or support and lack of the full range of services their customers want.

"It's always great to receive positive feedback from the industry - OpenSRS has made a strong commitment to our reseller community because they have been incredibly supportive of us. By making it easy to sell and manage the highest quality Internet services, we give our resellers the tools they need to be successful," added Schafer.

In 1999, Tucows became the first domain name wholesaler to be accredited by ICANN and chose the name OpenSRS for its domain name service. Recently relaunched to celebrate its resellers' sustained loyalty, OpenSRS today remains one of the world's largest wholesale domain registrars as well as the most reseller-friendly, and has expanded its offerings to include hosted email and SSL certificates. OpenSRS has grown steadily each year and today boasts over 9,000 active resellers on six continents. Those resellers, in turn, have the potential to reach millions of end users.

About OpenSRS

OpenSRS is a global provider of wholesale Internet services to web hosting companies and ISPs. Wholly owned by Tucows, Inc., OpenSRS provides wholesale services for hosted email, domain name registration, Personal Names, and SSL certificates. For more information, please visit http://opensrs.com/.

Vote To Go 'Green' With Verizon Wireless and Make a Difference Every DayCompany Offers Delegates and All Mobile Users Tips to Help Conserve the Earth's Resources

DENVER, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- This week's Democratic Party Convention promises to be the "greenest" political gathering in history. Verizon Wireless is doing its part to help the environment in Denver and nationwide, starting with phone recycling. According to the EPA, recycling 100 million cell phones would save enough energy to power nearly 200,000 U.S. households with electricity for a year.

"We're not there yet, but the good news is more and more old cellphones are being recycled every year," said Melanie Braidich, regional president for Verizon Wireless. "Since we launched our national cellphone recycling program in 2001, we have kept more than 200 tons of electronic waste out of landfills."

Verizon Wireless is encouraging delegates and other visitors to Denver and everyone with a used wireless phone or accessory they're no longer using to donate the equipment to its HopeLine(R) program. Wireless phones and equipment can be donated this week and year-round at any Verizon Wireless Communications Store in Denver. Donated phones, batteries and accessories will be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way or refurbished for reuse, with proceeds and devices benefiting survivors of domestic violence.

Verizon Wireless offers more "green" tips for delegates and all wireless users:

Make a point today or after the convention to sign up for paperless billing. Verizon Wireless' Green Bill gives customers a useful way to access, organize and analyze their account information, while at the same time saving paper by eliminating the monthly bill in your mailbox. To sign up, visit http://www.verizonwireless.com/myaccount.

Unplug your charger when it's not in use

In your hotel room, office or right at home, use a power strip for your device charger, and then switch it off when everything has been charged so you don't use "phantom" energy.

Download or preload directions in VZ Navigator(SM) to save fuel when traveling

Not sure how to get to where you're going in Denver? Using VZ Navigator to find the most direct route could help you save time and fuel. If you do need to fill up, use Gas Finder (on VZ Navigator) or FuelFinder (on Mobile Web) to find the least expensive gas (charges apply).

Work from home -- or elsewhere -- with 3G wireless

Use Verizon Wireless' high-speed 3G wireless service to create a mobile office anywhere within the BroadbandAccess coverage area and save on gas, time and other commuting costs (BroadbandAccess charges apply). The Verizon

Wireless 3G network, the nation's largest, now covers more than 85 percent of the U.S. population and more than 258 major metropolitan areas.

SOMERVILLE, Mass., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- TIBCO Software Inc. , today announced that Forrester Research, Inc. has recognized the TIBCO Spotfire(R) line of products as a strong performer in BI reporting and analysis platforms, according to the July 2008 Forrester Wave(TM): Enterprise Business Intelligence (BI) Platforms, Q3 2008. Forrester cited TIBCO as a strong performer based on the company's market presence, strategy, and current Spotfire offering.(1)

According to Forrester, "TIBCO, a recent entrant into the BI market with the acquisition of Spotfire, leverages its long history of success and expertise in middleware for integrating visual information analysis with process orchestration and business rules."

Unlike other products that notify users of problems, but do not initiate an action or fix, TIBCO Spotfire(R) Operations Analytics closes the business process improvement loop by automatically preparing an interactive analysis application of a real-time process based on customer-defined rules. Using this single application on their desktop, business professionals can quickly perform root-cause analysis and then revise rule parameters to improve future business performance.

According to Forrester, "While many BI vendors talk about enterprise optimization or enterprise decision management that can only be enabled through seamless convergence of BI, business process management, and business rules engines, the TIBCO Spotfire team is actually implementing such solutions today. Its Operational Analytics bundle can display data and process metrics and let an end user correct rules and process flows if necessary. Users can even see the updated results in real time."

"TIBCO Spotfire products deliver on the vision of pervasive BI -- where everyone is equipped to discover new insights," said Christopher Ahlberg, EVP and President, Spotfire division. "With Spotfire's combination of in-memory analytics and interactive visualization for building and sharing analytic applications, we are setting new standards in innovation and functionality to help our customers achieve greater insights into business performance."

The comprehensive report evaluated 12 vendors competing in this market today. More information about the report and related research is available at http://www.forrester.com/ .
