Nanophase Continues Expanding Direct Sales Effort

ROMEOVILLE, Ill., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nanophase Technologies , a leader in nanomaterials and advanced nanoengineered products, continues expansion of its direct sales efforts to new potential customers in addition to ongoing work for our valued market partners. "The complementary efforts are designed to maximize the company's opportunities to develop new solutions for an expanding customer base and drive additional sales through existing sales and distribution channels", noted Jess Jankowski, CFO and acting CEO.

"Our new management team is developing and refining Nanophase's strategy to accelerate marketing and applications development", noted Jankowski. "We have some of the top scientists and engineers in the nanotechnology field, capable of developing ready-to-use solutions that provide customers enhanced performance. We continue to pursue new opportunities in architectural and industrial coatings, chemical mechanical polishing for semiconductors and other polishing applications, SPF clothing, and several other new markets. In keeping with our migration to a direct sales model, we are continuing to reorient our sales and marketing team to increase the amount of direct customer contact and implementing a stage-gate process to vet opportunities. We are at a point now where, with the pending addition of a new member to our sales team, we will need to add to our applications development team to keep up with the available opportunities. As we continue down this path, we expect additional customer contact to allow us to tighten our strategy and to increase our hit rate".

Regarding opportunities within our partner base to grow in existing markets, Jankowski explained that although the seasons are changing, "Consumers forget that sun exposure is the same regardless of the weather. People are becoming more aware of the need for year-round sun protection against longer-wavelength UVA rays, which are primarily responsible for skin cancer". One of the company's currently largest-selling products -- zinc oxide for sunscreens that provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB ray protection, is contained in several daily wear sunscreens and cosmetic products.

The fact that the United States Food and Drug Administration is currently preparing rules that would require manufacturers to test and disclose the efficacy of their sunscreen products against both types of ultraviolet rays may also be a demand driver. "We believe this increasing awareness of sun protection could be a very positive long-term trend for Nanophase, as our zinc oxide formulation is not only effective against both types of ultraviolet rays, but is essentially transparent, making it superior to traditional white, opaque zinc oxide".

Jankowski noted that Nanophase continues to maintain a solid revenue base, is operationally lean and has a significant capital reserve with a conservative cash burn rate.

New Survey Reveals Companies Seeking Innovative Tools to Enable More Effective Management Across Physical and Virtual IT DomainsEMC Management Solutions for VMware Environments Provide Clear 'Line-of-Sight' Across Virtualized Environments

LAS VEGAS and NEW YORK, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- VMworld and Interop 2008 -- EMC Corporation today unveiled the results of an exclusive survey focused on IT management in virtualized environments. The analysis, conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), reveals that many companies today feel unprepared to face the challenges associated with managing IT environments that include both physical and virtual elements.

The survey, completed in September 2008, polled more than 150 IT business professionals and uncovers that while virtualization technology brings higher levels of speed and efficiency to businesses today, only 24% of respondents feel "very confident" their current management tools are sufficient to maintain existing IT service levels. Among those using specialized management tools for VMware environments, however, respondents were more than twice as likely to be "very confident" they could maintain IT service levels.

Additionally, nearly 48% report their number one challenge in tier-one production environments is isolating root cause problems within server virtualized environments. A key management challenge cited for VMware environments: the ability to map virtual machines to physical infrastructures, such as servers and applications, storage management, virtual security, and application performance monitoring.

Taking this one step further, the study relates that nearly 60% of respondents plan to deploy storage virtualization technologies in conjunction with VMware over the next 12 months. Chief among these storage technologies is block-based virtualization and thin provisioning (38%), followed by virtual SANs and file storage virtualization.

"As virtualization technologies continue to be deployed in larger and more complex production environments, greater emphasis will be placed on the day-to-day management needs of these environments," stated Bob Laliberte, Analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group. "Specifically the requirement for operations teams to have complete visibility of the virtual infrastructure and how that maps to the physical infrastructure will be critical. EMC continues to advance on its first mover advantage in this space by delivering new functionality for users to manage their physical and virtual infrastructures."

"VMware Infrastructure solutions have increased datacenter efficiency through consolidation, optimization, and automation at companies of all sizes across the globe," said Parag Patel, Vice President, Alliances, VMware. "But our customers are also telling us they want to support these infrastructures with tools capable of unifying management across both physical and virtualized environments and are asking us to help build the Virtual Datacenter OS. That's where solutions from partners like EMC become useful."

EMC's management solutions for VMware Infrastructures

"At EMC, we know our customers require a consistent strategy to manage information -- a way to provide core services no matter where the information is coming from, how it's used or where it's going," said Chris Gahagan, EMC's Senior Vice President, Resource Management Software. "To accomplish this, they need a consistent and integrated approach to managing the entire end-to-end information infrastructure."

EMC's management solutions for VMware infrastructures seamlessly blend virtualization support into EMC's existing industry-leading IT management offerings. The solutions enable companies to apply ITIL processes and manage service levels for virtualized environments. They provide IT operations with a complete picture across the IT environment -- mapping IT services across servers, applications, networks and storage -- including inter-dependencies as well as any configuration changes that occur and their impact on core IT services. The solutions offer IT Service Management, virtual-to-physical dependency mapping, automated root cause analysis, storage management, and compliance with VMware best practices or industry regulations.

EMC's IT Service Management and ServiceDesk solution is EMC Infra -- with new VMware discovery and virtual dependency mapping integration with EMC Application Discovery Manager (ADM) -- bringing ITIL processes to the virtual environment. Enabling customers to manage their virtual infrastructure from within a unified service management configuration management database (CMDB), the solution introduces breakthrough levels of integrated process management and maturity for configuration and change management, process workflow, and incident/problem management. This is built on a core understanding of the interrelationships between virtual and physical components and their dependencies in delivering application service levels for critical business applications.

EMC Application Discovery Manager (ADM) 6.0 provides comprehensive insight into the delivery of business application services. ADM discovers business applications and the relationships among applications, application elements and services, the virtual machines that support them and their supporting physical IT infrastructure in VMware environments. Ultimately, these application relationships enable IT organizations to support their service levels to the business. This solution utilizes VMware's VI software developer kit and common information model APIs.

Key to ADM is the solution's "Virtual Listener," that passively "listens" to application traffic across a vSwitch -- providing insight into the traffic and relationships across virtual machines otherwise "invisible" to the physical world. The solution establishes dependencies of virtual machines to one another in the delivery of business application services -- and for the construction of data protection and disaster recovery plans for VMware Site Recovery Manager and VMware Consolidated Backup.

With ControlCenter 6.1, EMC extends its leadership in managing virtual infrastructures to now include thin provisioned storage. ControlCenter 6.1 provides the industry's most comprehensive storage resource management (SRM) suite that delivers end-to-end visibility and control across VMware and thin-provisioned storage environments.

ControlCenter 6.1 offers support for EMC Symmetrix Virtual Provisioning -- an enterprise-class implementation of thin provisioning. VMware and Symmetrix Virtual Provisioning offer common, synergistic benefits -- including higher resource utilization, faster and simpler provisioning, and automated load-balancing across pooled resources. As a result, EMC Symmetrix DMX-4 and Symmetrix DMX-3 storage system customers are expected to recognize significant gains by deploying these technologies together. With ControlCenter 6.1, customers now have the tools required to effectively manage and reap the full benefits of deploying these technologies together.

ControlCenter 6.1 allows customers to create thin devices and pools, provision thin devices to physical as well as VMware ESX servers, track capacity consumption for thin devices and pools for virtual guests and ESX servers, graphically identify end-to-end relationships and topologies from virtual guests down to thin pools and data devices, and to monitor status and troubleshoot performance and availability issues for physical and virtual resources.

Panyu M&M Increases Import of Dairy Product to China

FOSHAN, China, Sept. 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- MyStarU.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MYST; Frankfurt Stock Exchange: TQF) announced today that its subsidiary, Panyu M&M Import Export Co. Ltd.,(Panyu) has increased import of dairy product to China.

Panyu's importing product lines have had 110% growth in this year. Recently, Panyu has been importing dairy products from one of the largest exporters in New Zealand. China's demand for dairy products will further increase, since it is difficult for the Chinese milk industry to satisfy various needs for dairy products in its own market.

New Web Site Helps Dominion East Ohio Customers With Natural Gas Choice- Easy-to-use comparison tools, objective information featured- Videos explain choice options, provide 'how to' guide

CLEVELAND, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion East Ohio has launched a new Web site to help customers make the best choices in purchasing natural gas. The interactive site, which serves as a one-stop shop for gas choice information, can be accessed online at http://www.dominiongaschoice.com/ .

The theme of the site is "Get Turned On To Energy Choice." Dominion East Ohio worked with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC), natural gas suppliers and community organizations to launch the Web site.

Energy Choice is a program sponsored by Dominion East Ohio that offers eligible natural gas customers the option of buying natural gas from a supplier certified by the PUCO. About 70 percent of Dominion East Ohio's customers already purchase their gas supply from another company.

To help consumers understand the costs and terms associated with certified natural gas suppliers' offers, Dominion East Ohio's Energy Choice Web site offers tools such as links to the PUCO's "Apples To Apples" comparison chart, the OCC's "Comparing Your Energy Choices" chart, and other objective comparison tools. Since the purchase of natural gas can amount to as much as 75 percent of a gas bill, this information can make a substantial impact on a household's energy spending.

A unique aspect of this easy-to-navigate Web site is the addition of a series of videos. The videos explain the options Dominion East Ohio customers have concerning their enrollment in Energy Choice, which include continuing to purchase natural gas through Dominion East Ohio's Standard Service Offer, or joining a governmental community aggregation program. These videos, divided into five installments, or chapters, use animated devices to break down the complexity of Energy Choice.

"This Web site is a comprehensive, one-stop resource for customers who want information on their natural gas supply options. We believe that it is important for customers to understand these choices in order to determine which option best meets their needs," said Bruce C. Klink, president, Dominion East Ohio. "It also is important for customers to remember that regardless of where they buy their natural gas, Dominion East Ohio will still deliver it to their homes and businesses, and will continue to provide customer service and 24-hour emergency response."

"Comparing the offers of natural gas suppliers can be confusing at first," said PUCO Chairman Alan Schriber. "This new site provides Dominion East Ohio customers with additional tools to make the gas supply decision that is right for them."

Ohio Consumers' Counsel Janine Migden-Ostrander said: "The topic of purchasing natural gas has a variety of important yet complex aspects to consider. The more information customers have, the more educated their decisions will be. We have employed the power of the Internet to simplify the issues and give residents a comprehensive source of information to help them make the best decision for their household."

The Web site was designed and produced by Rosetta, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, formerly Brulant, Inc.

Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers of energy, with an energy portfolio of about 26,500 megawatts of generation. Dominion also serves customers in 11 states. For more information about Dominion, visit the company's Web site at http://www.dom.com/ .

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lockheed Martin announced today that the corporation received a 5-year, single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract worth up to $56.7 million to support Federal Occupational Health (FOH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Lockheed Martin will provide medical and administrative staffing to perform clinical services for the federal workforce in FOH's Region A, which encompasses more than 85 federal facilities in 21 states across the U.S.

Under the contract, Lockheed Martin will perform clinical services that include emergency response, physical exams, immunizations, vision and health screenings, and health risk appraisals. Lockheed Martin will staff nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, health educators, medical assistants, and medical administrators. Lockheed Martin currently provides occupational health staffing services at 97 sites in FOH's Mid-Atlantic Region, which includes Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

All 149 TWIC Enrollment Centers Now Open to Serve Maritime WorkersTSA, Lockheed Martin Encourage Port Community to Enroll

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program is now completely deployed to all 149 U.S. port locations, a major milestone for this key homeland security initiative. Lockheed Martin is the lead contractor on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) program, providing enrollment and deployment services.

The TWIC program's goal is to ensure that any individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and vessels has received a thorough government background check and is not a security threat; 1.2 million people are expected to enroll.

"We have enrolled more than 500,000 people to date, and with enrollment centers now available at all port facilities, our message to maritime workers who need a TWIC is, 'Come in now and enroll,'" said Judy Marks, president of Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security Solutions.

Workers may pre-enroll for TWIC online at http://www.tsa.gov/twic or the Coast Guard's Homeport site, http://homeport.uscg.mil/ . Pre-enrollment speeds up the process by allowing workers to provide biographic information and schedule a time to complete the application process in person. This reduces wait and processing times for applicants at enrollment centers.

"We appreciate that maritime workers are taking time out of their schedules to apply for this credential," said Marks. "That time is valuable - to them and to the companies they support. That's why we continue to make every effort to build convenience into the enrollment process."

Workers at select ports will require a TWIC to gain unescorted access to secure areas of these ports as soon as October 2008. Compliance will be phased in by U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port Zones between Oct. 15, 2008 through April 15, 2009, after which all ports must be in compliance and all workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of a port must possess a TWIC.

Lockheed Martin assists TSA in the deployment of the TWIC program with its partners, including Daon, CSC, Deloitte Consulting LLP, Intercede, L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc., and Operational Research Consultants, Inc.

For more information about TWIC and a complete list of enrollment sites, please visit the official program Web site at http://www.tsa.gov/twic.

Tri-S Security Announces Amendment to Credit Facility; Potential Annual Savings Approximately $975,000

ATLANTA, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tri-S Security Corp. , a provider of security services and equipment for government and private entities, today announced an amendment to its credit facility with its senior lender. The amendment reduces the monthly over-advance fee payable by the company on its highest daily over-advance from 2.25% to (a) 1.25% through December 31, 2008, and (b) 1.75% thereafter. The company estimates that this fee reduction will save the company approximately $975,000 annually and will have a major impact on both cash flow and future earnings.

In addition, the amendment extends the maturity date of the $2.5 million term loan provided under the credit facility an additional year, from March 2009 to March 2010. With this extension, the term loan will move from a current to a long-term liability. This extension will improve various financial ratios and gives the company eighteen months before the term loan becomes due.

Pursuant to the amendment, the company issued to its senior lender a warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.27 per share, which is 110% of the closing sales price of the common stock on the day the amendment was signed.

The company is conducting an extensive review of its operations, including its operating facilities and corporate headquarters, with the intention of developing initiatives to further reduce general and administrative expenditures. These initiatives will be implemented once the review has been completed, and the company believes that these initiatives will have an immediate effect on both cash flow and future earnings.

Lockheed Martin Inducts First C-5A Into Avionics Modernization Program

MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Lockheed Martin C-5 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) reached another milestone this week with the induction of the first U.S. Air Force C-5A into the program.

"The combination of hardware and software afforded through AMP allows Air Force crews to fly unrestricted anywhere in the world," said George Shultz, Lockheed Martin's vice president of C-5 Modernization. "Modernizing the C-5As today with new avionics further ensures this unique national asset will continue to support the warfighter for many years to come."

The AMP replaces the analog cockpit instruments and systems in the C-5 with digital displays and equipment. It also provides the necessary communications and navigational avionics to comply with Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) requirements, the new set of international standards for aircraft movement and reduced separation in flight.

There are 111 C-5s to be modified through AMP with 42 production airplanes completed to date. The AMP installations are taking place at Dover AFB and Travis AFB and are scheduled to be completed in second quarter 2014. The C-5 AMP fleet has flown more than 9,400 sorties and 40,000 operational flight hours.

The Air Force had the C-5As re-winged in the 1980s, increasing their structural service life to the equivalency of its C-5Bs. The C-5 has been the backbone of strategic airlift in every military engagement since it entered service and has supported U.S. humanitarian relief efforts around the globe. It is the only aircraft capable of carrying 100 percent of certified air-transportable cargo, with a dedicated passenger compartment enabling commanders to have troops and their equipment arrive in an area of operation simultaneously.

Lockheed Martin is a pioneer in sustainment initiatives, offering a number of flexible and individually tailored support solutions. The company is a major supplier of logistics systems and services to military and civil government customers, and provides solutions for platform maintenance, modifications and repair, material readiness and distribution, and global supply chain command and control.

Verizon Wireless' 'COLTs' Make Pit Stop at Dover Speedway For NASCAR Race WeekendMobile Cell Site Will Help Handle Double the Normal Call Volume

DOVER, Del., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for NASCAR fans during race weekend September 19-21 at Dover International Speedway, Verizon Wireless will beef up its network capacity by deploying two temporary mobile cell sites called COLTs (Cell on Light Truck).

With more than 250,000 race fans and tailgaters expected in the City of Dover throughout the weekend, Verizon Wireless reports that its network will handle double the number of wireless calls than during a typical weekend. The COLTs will enhance wireless capacity, allowing more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls, send and receive text and picture messages, and download games and ringtones.

"When we anticipate a significant surge in wireless activity, we bring in additional mobile cell sites that work along with our existing area network to compensate," said Ed Chan, executive director of network for Verizon Wireless' Philadelphia Tri-State Region. "The COLTs enable us to handle the temporary increase in wireless usage and ensures that we are providing our customers with the highest quality service from the nation's most reliable network."

Quick Facts on the Verizon Wireless COLT -- The temporary cell site can process thousands of calls every hour.

-- Each 25,000-pound COLT features two retractable masts, a microwave antenna to link network components, an emergency power generator and a small office.

-- The COLTs are also fully equipped with resources needed during emergencies including equipment, fuel, electrical generators, food, water and cots.

The temporary cell site is part of Verizon Wireless' continuous effort to increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in the Philadelphia Tri-State Region and across the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. The company spent more than $235 million in 2007 to enhance services and coverage in the Philadelphia Tri-State Region, bringing the total network investment in the region to more than $1.5 billion since 2000.

Brazilians' Engagement With Online Multimedia Content Impeded by Lack of Home Broadband PenetrationcomScore World Metrix Study Highlights Potential for Significant Multimedia Growth in Brazil As Broadband Penetration Rates Rise

RESTON, Va., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. , a leader in measuring the digital world, today released results from a study of online visitation to multimedia Web sites in Brazil. The multimedia category includes sites offering video, music, and other entertainment-based applications. The study showed that while Brazilian Internet users tend to visit multimedia sites as frequently as the rest of the world, an indicator of high potential demand for the content on these sites, they spend considerably less time on average on these sites due to technological impediments.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO)

"As a developing Internet market, Brazil still has relatively low broadband penetration, which tends to inhibit extended periods of engagement with multimedia content because of the slow download speed," said Alex Banks, comScore managing director of Latin America. "However, Brazilian Internet users' frequent visits to the site category indicate strong latent consumer demand, meaning that as broadband penetration rates in Brazil increase, the time spent engaging with this content can be expected to rise considerably."

Since a significant number of consumers in Brazil access the Internet from outside this universe definition, comScore has developed an Extended Universe for the online population in Brazil, which is estimated differently than comScore's Total Internet estimate. comScore estimates Brazil's Extended Universe to be 56.2 million. Video Web Sites Lead Multimedia Category

Of the top 20 multimedia properties in Brazil, 12 of them are primarily video-sharing sites and all of them include general video functionality. YouTube.com led the category with 11.5 million visitors in July, followed by Globos Videos with 8.3 million visitors. Other video-sharing sites within the top ten include MSN Video (1.5 million visitors), StartVG.com (1.1 million visitors), and WeShow.com (756,000 visitors). YouTube.com was the only site in the category with an average engagement duration greater than ten minutes per person during the month (12.9).

Nokia and Research In Motion Honored at SiRF's 2nd Annual Location 2.0 SummitDial Directions, Proxpro and Microsoft Win People's Choice Awards at the SiRFecosystem Conference

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Capping a successful second annual SiRFecosystem's Location 2.0 Summit, SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. , a leading provider of GPS-powered location platforms, today announced the recipients of the prestigious Summit Awards. Nokia received the Leadership Award for its strategic commitment to driving the mass market to adopt the more widespread use of location, and Research in Motion received the Pioneer Award for its ground breaking dedication to making location a core element of its product line. Additionally, Summit attendees voted to give the People's Choice Awards to Fast-Pitch presenters, with innovative location enabled applications, Dial Directions for the Consumer category, Proxpro, Inc. for the Enterprise category and Microsoft for the Next-Generation category.

"RIM took an early and proactive stance toward location technology by including and promoting GPS functionality in virtually all its BlackBerry handsets, and for this we have honored their efforts with the Pioneer Award," said Kanwar Chadha, founder of SiRF. "Nokia, with their overall market leadership in the mobile handset industry, is being honored this year with the Leadership Award for driving location to mainstream consumers. By promoting the use of location with Nokia Maps as well as their recent acquisitions of Navteq and Gate5, Nokia is making location an integral part of the mobile phone platform."

The Leadership Award recognizes companies who have demonstrated undisputed leadership in the location industry and have made a major impact in the marketplace, an award won by the GPS Wing of the U.S. Air Force. The Pioneer Award recognizes companies who have created ground breaking technologies, products or services for end-user benefit, an award won by Google Earth last year. New this year, the People's Choice Awards recognize companies for their cutting-edge technology and innovative use cases that promote location as a part of daily life.

Dial Directions, winner of the People's Choice Award for the consumer category, presented their platform for voice-activated mobile services across different devices to power navigation & directions, local search, directory assistance, and other location-based services. The platform enables industry partners to expand their mobile services with a voice-activated interface, letting consumers enter locations (such as addresses, business searches, and points of interest) naturally by speaking rather than typing.

Proxpro, Inc., awarded the People's Choice Award for the enterprise category, presented their product, Prompt, a "push" technology that optimizes navigation and traffic information based on a personal calendar. Prompt compares the user's current location with the time and location of their next appointment, displays the fastest route to avoid current and predicted traffic and tells the user exactly when to leave.

Microsoft, awarded the People's Choice Award for the next-generation technologies category, presented a set of algorithms developed by Microsoft Research that can predict a driver's destination and route as they drive. With Microsoft's prediction algorithms, navigation devices can give location-based alerts, including road warnings and ads, before a driver actually encounters a traffic problem or an advertiser, giving them time to make a decision, even in familiar territory when a driver has not entered their destination.

"Our sincere congratulations go to all the award winners for their outstanding commitment and dedication to using the power of location to transform the mobile world," said Andrew Seybold, founder and president of Andrew Seybold, Inc. "I would also like to thank the wonderful lineup of speakers and panel members at the Summit who inspired and challenged attendees with their viewpoints and expertise, and to invite everyone to meet again at next year's event."

The second annual Location 2.0 Summit attracted more than 200 of the top global location industry executives to one of the world's foremost strategic forums for new LBS innovations. Providing an intimate setting to encourage dialogue among all participants, this year's event was hosted by renowned wireless analyst Andrew Seybold who shared his insights on the most effective LBS strategies that he has championed from the very early days of the industry. After a welcoming address by industry veteran Mohan Gyani and an insightful opening keynote address from Barry West, president of the Xohm business unit of Sprint Nextel, attendees became active participants in the afternoon's three interactive panel discussions. Other keynotes included Christof Hellmis, director of Navigation and Routing Solutions at Nokia and Dr. Vincent Tao, director of the Microsoft Local, Mobile Search and Virtual Earth business unit who discussed trends in the consumer and enterprise markets for location enabled services. Held in question and answer format, the panels tapped into the expertise of the distinguished panel members and explored key aspects of the location ecosystem. The afternoon concluded with closing remarks by Kanwar Chadha, SiRF's founder and VP of marketing, followed by the Location 2.0 Summit Awards reception and program.

Other featured speakers at the second annual Location 2.0 Summit include Masaaki Maeda, president and CEO of NTT DoCoMo; Rich Miner, group manager of Mobile Platforms for Google; Steve Glagow, vice president of Orange Partner at Orange-France Telecom; Ed Schmit, associate director of the Enterprise Developer Program at AT&T; Joe Astroth, executive vice president and general manager of Location Services at Autodesk; Magnus Nilsson, CEO of Wayfinder Systems; Niren Hiro, vice president of business development for Admob; Jerry Panagrossi, vice president and general manager of North America for Symbian, Inc.; Randy Frantz, director of Telecommunications and LBS at ESRI; Per Enge, professor at Stanford University and director of the GPS Research Laboratory; Eric White, vice president at Trimble Mobile Solutions; Dean Fledderjohn, general manager at Kyocera Wireless Corp. and Asokan Thiyagarajan, technology evangelist for Motorola. Panel moderators included Brad Smith, technology editor at Wireless Week and Marcus Torchia, Senior Analyst at Yankee Group.

This year's Location 2.0 Summit sponsors are Diamond sponsor Microsoft Windows Embedded, Gold sponsors ESRI and Wayfinder, Bronze sponsors Locr, Motorola, Pacific Datavision, and Samsung, and Media sponsors Berg Insight, Canalys, GPS World and GIS Development.
