SINGAPORE, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In conjunction with Solar Power International 2008 and in response to customer demand and advanced technology requirements in the solar industry, Flextronics today underscored its commitment to support the manufacturing requirements of solar OEMs with complex market delivery requirements in an increasingly competitive environment.

This need for scalable growth and low-cost, efficient market delivery solutions continues to increase for solar organizations and Flextronics is committed to enhancing its solar solutions portfolio to support these OEMs.

"This summer, we announced updates to our solar market strategy with a key component being the selection of Flextronics as our strategic EMS partner based on the organization's portfolio and commitment to deliver advanced solar solutions that will improve our overall operational efficiency," said Philippe Favreau, COO, Carmanah. "We believe Flextronics, with its flexible, global infrastructure, has the right set of solar capabilities to help our organization quickly scale to meet growth objectives in the competitive solar industry."

"Flextronics' Industrial segment is well suited to partner with solar OEMs and is committed to help these OEMs address advanced design and global market distribution requirements with the ability to quickly ramp and scale to meet growing demand," said EC Sykes, president of Flextronics Industrial.

Verizon Wireless Keeps Chicago Marathon RunningWireless Technology and the Nation's Most Reliable Network Ensure Race Officials, Runners and Spectators are Connected Throughout the Race

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, the official wireless sponsor of the 2008 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, announced today that the company will provide its Field Force Manager product and PC cards to the race staff to guarantee crystal clear communication between staff members and to ensure emergency response communication can be organized and communicated clearly. The wireless company has also increased network capacity with the deployment of a temporary portable "cell on wheels" to prepare for the influx of simultaneous calls and text messages as thousands of fans and supporters descend upon the city.

High-Tech Marathon Team

Field Force Manager is a turnkey wireless solution that combines powerful Web-based applications with handsets to help increase efficiencies between a central base of operations and workers in field. Chicago Marathon race coordinators will use Field Force Manager to map GPS locations of crew workers along the race route in real-time; schedule and dispatch tasks; and receive fleet, job and employee reports in the event of an emergency situation. Field Force Manager will also allow volunteers from health services, race administration, timekeepers and others to stay in touch about real-time events occurring along the race route.

"Communication plays a big role in the coordination of a marathon that is safe, successful and fun for everyone involved," says T.J. Fox, Illinois/Wisconsin Region President-Verizon Wireless. "The Verizon Wireless Force Field Manager will allow the marathon staff to clearly communicate situations while the system pinpoints their ground crews' whereabouts. This prevents any confusion about a crew's exact location on the marathon route -- between city blocks or in the middle of Grant Park, for example."

Verizon Wireless is also providing marathon officials with 3G-capable wireless phones and PC cards, giving access to both voice and data services, including the Internet, via the company's high-speed BroadbandAccess network. Marathon officials will use the PC cards in laptops and handheld computers to keep track of runners and share other information during the race.

"Beefing up" Cell Capacity

Verizon Wireless has also deployed a COW (Cell on Wheels) at the Chicago Marathon site to provide additional voice and high-speed data capacity for the tens of thousands of marathoners and fans expected to descend upon downtown Chicago to support their friends and family as they cross the finish line.

The unit of part of a fleet of mobile cell sites the company maintains not only to enhance service surrounding large-scale events but also in time of natural disasters. The service enhancement means that more customers can use the Verizon Wireless network concurrently, whether making voice calls or using data applications to receive real time updates as runners cross the 10K, halfway (13.1 miles) and 30K checkpoints, as well as the finish line.

"We anticipate a 200 percent spike in wireless traffic in the area during marathon weekend," says Fox. "The COW strengthens an already robust Verizon Wireless network in Chicago and is equivalent to the highest capacity stationary site presently in Illinois, with the ability to process thousands of calls every hour."

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 68.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 70,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

"It will be the finest inmate telecommunications system in the United States," said Board Chairman Oliver Bell, an Austin businessman. "We are the last state to do this.

Industry Demonstrates How to Use Existing Technology to Improve Efficiency for Law Enforcement and First Responders

TEMECULA, Calif., Oct. 10, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company assembled 15 industry vendors Sept. 26 to demonstrate how off-the-shelf technologies can be integrated to provide greater effectiveness to military, law enforcement and first responder operations.

The demonstrations, held at the French Valley Airport in Temecula, Calif., were attended by an array of national, state and local public officials from the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.

"Throughout the country, there are law enforcement and first responder professionals who are looking to improve their effectiveness using the technology that already exists," said Gene Blackwell, Raytheon vice president of the Rapid Initiatives Group. "For that reason, we tried to assemble public officials to demonstrate the art of the possible."

One of the demonstrations used existing technology for affordable air surveillance. Timely processing of sensor data produced valuable information for quicker and more accurate decision-making.

This persistent surveillance system was mounted on an ultralight aircraft and flown during the demonstrations. A hyperblimp was also used to demonstrate how users can survey a specific geographic area more efficiently.

All the demonstrations showed different ways to increase efficiency in detecting, identifying, responding and eliminating threats for force protection, counterterror and first responder missions.

Raytheon Company, with 2007 sales of $21.3 billion, is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning 86 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 72,000 people worldwide.

Note to Editors:

A Sept. 24 release incorrectly stated that the demonstrations were held for the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System. Public officials from across California were invited to attend, and the event was not limited to any specific program or organization.

Rays Fans, Callers Get Sign To 'Swing Away'Verizon Wireless Boosts Network at 'The Trop' During Playoffs To Ensure Big League Coverage

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa Bay Rays third-base coach Tom Foley isn't the only one making sure his signals are clear during the Rays' first-ever playoff run. Teams of Verizon Wireless technicians have been boosting network coverage in and around Tropicana Field to ensure championship-caliber wireless service for the thousands of fans, media and baseball officials expected to be on-hand.

For the series versus the Boston Red Sox beginning today, Verizon Wireless is boosting call capacity for the high-tech wireless transmission site that resides inside "The Trop." In addition, cell sites that surround the ballpark will be enhanced to ensure strong service as fans and media make millions of voice calls, send text and picture messages and other wireless transmissions before, during and after the games.

These sites utilize multiple voice and high-speed data channels, each of which can handle hundreds of phone calls and data transmissions simultaneously.

If the Rays advance, additional COWs (Cells on Wheels), COLTs (Cells on Light Trucks) and other resources likely will be deployed as the Rays and the Verizon Wireless network perform under baseball's brightest lights.

The Verizon Wireless network utilizes the most advanced 3G high-speed wireless technology (EV-DO Rev. A), which allows customers to enjoy clearer call reception and faster speeds when sending text or multimedia messages. It also complements more advanced wireless services, such as V CAST, which allows customers to stream video clips, play cutting-edge 3D games and download full-song tracks over-the-air; VZ Navigator(SM), a location-based service offering maps, audible driving directions, traffic updates, gas station locations and pricing; and the newest, most reliable Push to Talk technology.

Customers using the company's BroadbandAccess data service to wirelessly access their e-mail and calendars, the Internet and other information, can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps. At those speeds, customers can upload or 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.

Boosting coverage at "The Trop" throughout the post-season is part of the company's continuing investment to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.8 billion in Florida and $45 billion nationally since the company was formed. The company spent more than $250 million to enhance services and coverage in Florida during the past 18 months.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 68.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 70,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Lockheed Martin Expands Registration for Intelligence Analysis Training

NEWINGTON, Va., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin announced today that beginning in October registration for private intelligence analysis training courses will be significantly expanded. Intelligence analysis training is now being extended to the law enforcement community and U.S. citizens employed by federal or state governments, and U.S. corporations or organizations engaged in intelligence and security.

The classes, conducted in Newington at the Lockheed Martin Center for Security Analysis, are still available to the U.S. military, federal government, or any other organization within the intelligence community.

"The decision to expand our registration is in response to the growing demand for individually-focused expert training on analysis and data mining tools," said Erik Kleinsmith, Lockheed Martin Program Manager for this initiative. "Organizations outside the intelligence community were unable to register for the classes in the past and similar training is often too expensive or unavailable for those wanting to participate as an individual."

Corporations or organizations can cut costs by taking advantage of the option to register for single seats within a class as opposed to the past, when they only had the option to enroll a large group of employees.

Courses in Critical Thinking, Counterterrorism, Asymmetric Threat Operations and Strategic Intelligence & Homeland Security will be the first classes opened to the public. Enrollment can be on a group or individual basis.

Critical Thinking -- Critical thinking is examined as a tool to produce reasoned, mission directed analytical results. The course facilitates and enhances individual critical thinking skills through reflective thinking, systematic questioning, and critical reading.

Counter-Terrorism -- Explores analytical techniques for the purpose of countering and defeating terrorism. The course focuses on learning to analyze, interpret, and apply threat-profiling techniques to vast amounts of terrorism data, and produce a multi-discipline intelligence product in accordance with current intelligence community needs.

Asymmetric Threat Operations -- Gives a foundational understanding of the myriad of non-conventional threats that the public faces today. The course concentrates on the goals and methods of insurgency operations, guerilla warfare, terrorism, and humanitarian operations.

Strategic Intelligence & Homeland Security -- This course is designed for Homeland Security and other enterprise employees in order to develop a broad understanding of strategic intelligence. It prepares intelligence, law enforcement and security professionals, and interested public parties to understand and support missions including securing our homeland, defending the citizenry, and protecting the national infrastructure.

The training program plans to eventually expand beyond the four courses and is currently pursuing accreditation. Additional class information and registration instructions are available at http://tinyurl.com/4c9pb8. Class sizes are limited and registrations are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2007 sales of $41.9 billion.

North Reading and Wilmington, Massachusetts Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

NORTH READING, Mass., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Middlesex County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along I-93, Park Street, and Concord Street in North Reading and Wilmington, Massachusetts and the surrounding area.

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. Regionally the company has invested over $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $100 million during the first six months of 2008. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England provides wireless broadband connectivity.

"We've always believed that even the most advanced cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on," said director for Network Systems Performance for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright. "We continue to aggressively invest into our wireless networks across New England to increase coverage and capacity for our customers."

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the second quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fifteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

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. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 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 confirm that 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.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 68.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 70,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

WebMD Reports Strong Online Advertising Sales Growth

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WebMD Health Corp. , the leading provider of health information services, stated that it has experienced a strong increase in sales of its online promotional and educational programs in both the pharmaceutical and consumer products markets during the September 2008 quarter. These sales represent a significant increase in advance commitments for 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. Accordingly, WebMD indicated that it has not experienced the weakness in online sales that has recently been reported in other sectors of online media and advertising.

WebMD stated that it expects its third quarter financial results to be at the low end of its prior financial guidance. The company expects to report that online advertising revenues increased more than 20% in the third quarter, as compared to the prior year period. Traffic to the WebMD Health Network during the third quarter grew substantially, to an average of more than 49 million monthly unique visitors and to 1.1 billion total page views, increases of more than 20% and 30%, respectively, over the prior year period.

The growth in sales commitments that WebMD experienced relates primarily to 2009 marketing programs. WebMD is currently evaluating the expected timing of the revenue from these sales commitments and potential new sales for the December 2008 quarter. It is possible that revenues for the December 2008 quarter may be below WebMD's prior financial guidance. However, the revenue shortfall, if any, is not expected to be more than 5% of the low end of the prior guidance range (excluding any revenue from the pending acquisition of Marketing Technology Solutions).

Wayne Gattinella, President and CEO of WebMD, stated: "The unique strength of the WebMD brand continues to gain momentum, as we continue to demonstrate the unique quality and impact of our differentiated audience to large advertisers. We are well positioned to increase our growth in the online health market and to continue the sales momentum that we achieved in the third quarter."

As previously announced, WebMD and HLTH Corporation , which owns 84% of WebMD's common stock, will release their respective financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2008 at approximately 4:00 pm (ET) on Thursday, October 30, 2008 and will host a joint conference call on that day at 4:45 pm (ET) to discuss those results. Investors can access the call via webcast at http://www.wbmd.com/ (in the Investor Relations section).

Homeland Integrated Security Systems Inc.'s Board of Directors Authorizes Share Exchange

ARDEN, N.C., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HISU) is pleased to announce that the Company's Board of Directors has approved a plan to offer shareholders the opportunity to exchange their common stock for shares of the new Series E Convertible Preferred stock. For each 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock tendered during the exchange, shareholders will receive one share of the Company's preferred stock, valued at $1.00 per share. The stock exchange will also offer shareholders warrants to purchase additional shares of the Company's Common Stock.

A shareholder must tender at least one million shares of Common Stock to qualify and take part in this exchange offer. The deadline for accepting the exchange offer and delivery of physical certificates to the Company is the close of business on November 21, 2008.
