Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) and HomeATM announced today that the recent Payments Card Industry (PCI) 2.0 certification of HomeATM's Safe-T-PIN(TM) is the result of an efficient collaboration between the two leaders on their markets. HomeATM's Safe-T-PIN, powered by Atmel's AT91SO25 secure microcontroller, is the first ever Internet Pin Entry Device (PED) to achieve such certification.

Atmel's AT91SO25 dedicated features and Common Criteria EAL4+ security certification were instrumental in obtaining this first PCI 2.0 certification. This product is offered in a compact BGA144 package which brings high security and extended connectivity in a small footprint. Safe-T-PIN provides secure two factor authentication for e-commerce transactions and secure log-in.

Based on the ARM(R) 32-bit SecureCore(TM) SC100 CPU core, Atmel's AT91SO devices are suited for highly secure systems such as card payment terminals. They achieve an outstanding level of integration of a wide array of peripherals. They feature 256 KB of EEPROM, 100 KB of RAM and 32 KB of ROM, cryptography engines to accelerate DES/TDES, AES, SHA-n, RSA, elliptic curves as well as many flexible interfaces such as USB, SPI, UARTs, GPIOs, magnetic strip and smart card interfaces. All devices are the only ones on the market to be certified Common Criteria EAL4+.

Kenneth Mages, CEO at HomeATM stated, "PCI 2.0 specifications are much more demanding than the previous versions when it comes to protecting a POS system. The choice of Atmel's AT91SO25 Secure System-On-Chip has been really helpful to speed up and achieve our product certification."

Olivier Debelleix, Atmel's Marketing Manager for Embedded Security commented, "Our AT91SO products for secure systems have been used in many POS applications that have been certified towards previous versions of the PCI standard. HomeATM's PCI 2.0 certification demonstrates our products help to cope with the increasing demand for embedded security."

Majesco Entertainment Company Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results- Second Quarter Net Revenues Increased Over 60% to $20.5M -- Increases Fiscal 2009 Revenue Guidance -

EDISON, N.J., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment Company , an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2009.

For the second quarter ended April 30, 2009, Majesco's net revenues increased 60.8 percent to $20.5 million versus $12.8 million in the same period a year ago. During this same period, the Company reported an operating loss of $0.6 million, compared to a $0.3 million loss in the second quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating income was $0.5 million versus non-GAAP operating income of $0.2 million in 2008. Net loss for the quarter was $1.7 million versus a net loss of $0.3 million in 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was $0.3 million compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.1 million last year.

The Company's basic and diluted net loss per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2009 was $0.06 compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.01 in the same period last year. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share was $0.01 compared to $0.0 last year.

For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Company's net revenues increased 69.8 percent to $53.4 million versus the year ago period. During this same period, the Company reported operating income of $3.1 million compared to operating income of $2.1 million in the same 2008 period. Non-GAAP operating income for the six month period was $5.3 million compared to $2.9 million for the comparable 2008 period. Net income through the first six months of fiscal 2009 was $2.5 million versus net income of $2.4 million in the comparable 2008 period. Non-GAAP net income was $4.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to $2.6 million in the same 2008 period.

The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and the six months ended April 30, 2008 was $0.09. The Company's non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was $0.16 compared to $0.09 in the comparable 2008 period.

Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Majesco, said, "We delivered another impressive quarter as we continued to successfully execute on our business plan and capitalize on the strength of the family friendly, casual game market. Our revenue growth was driven by the continued strength of Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 and our Cooking Mama franchise. During the quarter we launched Gardening Mama, our first brand extension of the Mama franchise, which delivered a solid performance and demonstrated the power of the Mama brand and its ability to extend beyond cooking. As expected, profitability in the quarter was dampened by our strategic marketing campaigns as we made investments to support the growth of our franchises and most promising titles. We believe the benefits of these investments will continue beyond the first half of 2009 and help drive future growth. Despite these investments, for the first six months of fiscal 2009 we delivered improved operating and net income on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. For the first six months, our non-GAAP operating income grew $2.4 million or 83 percent to $5.3 million, while our non-GAAP net income reached $4.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 75 percent.

"As a result of our success to date this year, and the strength of our release schedule for the rest of the fiscal year we have increased our revenue guidance for fiscal 2009 to $80 to $85 million. We remain focused on prudently managing our costs and are committed to delivering profitable growth. We have a proven strategy, are executing operationally and believe we have the right team in place to continue creating value for our shareholders over the long-term."

Comarco Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

LAKE FOREST, Calif., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Comarco, Inc. , a leading provider of innovative mobile power solutions through its ChargeSource(R) line of multi-function universal mobile power products, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 ended April 30, 2009.

"Our first quarter financial results were as we anticipated, and represent the transition between the legacy Comarco and the Company as it is now, focused on new, innovative mobile power products with significant corporate partners," said Sam Inman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comarco. "Contributing to the first quarter results was revenue from Lenovo, our sole customer in the quarter, as well as the investments we made in support of our new product at Lenovo and the product development efforts associated with our exclusive supply agreement recently reached with Targus."

"The Targus relationship is a significant milestone for the Company and represents the cornerstone of our worldwide retail strategy," continued Mr. Inman. "Initial shipments to Targus have begun. More importantly, we are working closely with Targus to develop a unique line of mobile power products and we expect to introduce the first of these new products in the fall. On the OEM side of our business, we anticipate the release of our new ChargeSource(R) cost-optimized modular 'thin and light' power adapter to Lenovo next month. With the expected ramp up of these new product shipments, we should be well-positioned to achieve strong revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 2010."

"Over the past few quarters, we have been successful in accomplishing several very important corporate goals. There are many milestones left to go. Our entire team at Comarco is focused on executing to drive revenue, achieve profitability and enhance shareholder value," concluded Mr. Inman.

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.0 million, a decrease of 47% compared with $3.8 million in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company reported a net loss for the recent first fiscal quarter of $2.8 million, or ($0.39) per share. This compared with a net loss of $1.7 million, or ($0.23) per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.9 million. This compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $3.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Included in the results of continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 were non-recurring severance costs totaling $0.9 million related to the departure of former senior management.

The Company had $12.5 million in cash at April 30, 2009. Forward-Looking Information

AfterSoft Network N.A. Inc Announces Release of VAST Enterprise Version 7

ALLENTOWN, Pa., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- AfterSoft Network N.A., Inc a wholly owned subsidiary of Aftersoft Group, Inc (BULLETIN BOARD: ASFG) , a leading provider of business automation and ecommerce solutions for the automotive aftermarket, is pleased to announce the general release of VAST Enterprise, Version 7 (VE V7), completed after months of design and development. This latest version is based on Microsoft's SQL server database platform. The previous versions of the application were developed using Microsoft Access.

"We have seen a marked improvement in speed and performance, and anticipate productivity improvements at store level and within our IT department, as a result of the upgrade to Microsoft's premium SQL database in the Aftersoft software," says Burt August, Director of Information Technology at Monro Muffler Brake Inc. "We are looking forward to installing VAST Enterprise 7 in all 740 of our Monro and Mr. Tire stores."

Among various enhancements and benefits included in this version: -- Data Replication services that allow for periodic data transmissions of all transactions from the POS system to a Multi-Store server -- Unique decentralized architecture allowing multi-location dealers to work independently while offering the benefits of a real-time central server based system -- Electronic Parts & Tire buying interface to the Activant(R) AConneX(R) gateway and Internet AutoParts (IAP). -- Enhanced reporting and invoice printing functions.

With VE 7's data replication feature, transactions are sent automatically throughout the day to the central server, which keeps the central system aware of all store activities. Because each store is running in decentralized model using its own SQL database, store locations are insulated from disruptions caused by the Internet or wide area network related outages.

"Medium and large dealers require the benefits offered by centralized systems for inventory availability, transfers and central customer bases, but many dealers resist this approach in favor of a more reliable decentralized system. Vast Enterprise V7 offers the best of both worlds, while ensuring that down time is minimized," according to John Fischer, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, AfterSoft, NA.

VE V7 also includes an optional interface that makes it possible for stores running VAST to electronically locate parts and tires, complete price checks, and order placement to connected suppliers. All electronic services are available to suppliers using Aftersoft's OpenWebs, or Activant AConneX(R) gateway enabled suppliers and customers. Examples of suppliers who have already adopted Aftersoft's OpenWebs ecommerce platform include NAPA and U.S.AutoForce(TM).

Aftersoft Group, Inc. is a supplier of business and ERP supply chain management solutions to automotive parts manufacturers, distributors and retailers.

EMBARQ Supports Small Business Owners With Free Webinar SeriesThe Way Forward Webinar Series Presents Living in the Age of Transparency: Security and Your Small Business

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMBARQ is pleased to present the third and final installment in The Way Forward Webinar Series for small business owners on June 17 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. To register and learn more about this free webinar, please visit http://embarq.streamlogics.com/EMBARQ/.

The third webinar in the series, "Living in the Age of Transparency: Security and Your Small Business," will be led by Thomas Koulopoulos, founder of Delphi Group, a global innovation think tank and the former executive director of the Babson College Center for Business Innovation. Koulopoulos has not only studied the importance of security, researched it and written about it, but more importantly, he has lived it while building his own small business and understands the issues small business owners face.

"In today's world the issue of digital security takes center stage when it comes to protecting your customer's privacy and financial data as well as your own online business," said Koulopoulos. "Even without the staff, budget and other resources of a large company, there are plenty of things you can do as a small business owner to protect your customers and yourself."

During the presentation, Koulopoulos will focus on not only the technical side of small business security but also the more critical, human component of creating a safe online environment for your employees, customers and yourself. The presentation will also address how to embrace the three dimensions of security: technology, trust and transparency, how to prevent a security breach before it happens, why viruses are more of a threat than you think and how to create a culture of security from the inside out.

In addition to the upcoming live presentation of "Living in the Age of Transparency: Security and Your Small Business," previous webinars in the series, "The Innovation Zone: Achieving Small Business Success in Today's Economy," led by Thomas Koulopoulos and "The Five Faces of Genius: Creativity and Small Business Breakthrough," led by Annette Moser-Wellman are available to be viewed on demand at http://embarq.streamlogics.com/EMBARQ/.

Video: BBVA Compass Launches First U.S. Advertising CampaignCampaign inspired by new brand promise, "Solutions Built Around You".

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- BBVA Compass today announced the launch of its first ever U.S. advertising campaign, designed to establish BBVA Compass as the bank that helps customers through every stage of their life, listening and partnering with them to develop the best possible solution for their unique needs and particular situation. The new campaign is the result of a collaborative effort by BBVA Compass and GSD&M Idea City and is the first to support the fully integrated and rebranded BBVA Compass. Launched across the bank's six-state footprint, it aims to engage customers while delivering on a promise of trust and dependability during these difficult times.

To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/bbvacompass/38769/

With the tagline "banking built for you," the advertisements support the BBVA Compass new brand promise "Solutions Built Around You." The brand promise is closely aligned with the BBVA Compass business strategy and its customer-centric, universal banking model.

Through a mix of media which includes TV, radio, online, OOH and print and a Hispanic marketing component, the advertisements demonstrate the holistic approach that BBVA Compass takes to serving clients and tailoring solutions around their needs, thereby offering them banking solutions that will help make their lives easier. It also serves to illustrate the BBVA Compass commitment to identifying opportunities to build solutions around all stakeholder groups, including the communities in which it operates and the employees which it serves.

"BBVA Compass has come a long way in two short years. We have integrated four US banks into one unified strong franchise, changed our logo and signage to show that we are a proud member of the BBVA Group and updated our web page and email addresses to reflect the same," said Jose Maria Garcia Meyer, BBVA Country Manager - U.S. and Chairman of BBVA Compass. "The 'banking built for you' advertising campaign is another step in the transformation of BBVA Compass and will serve to educate the public at large on why we are a different kind of financial institution and one that is coming from a position of strength in the market which allows us to be committed to building solutions for our customers, communities and employees."

The "banking built for you" campaign is multi-faceted in messaging and approach. It simultaneously delivers on BBVA Compass commitment to look across the organization and bring the entire resources of the bank to a customer while also allowing the organization to look beyond current capabilities and take a future-oriented approach.

"As we began the research behind our new brand campaign, we discovered that customers in today's environment are looking for a financial institution that will provide the guidance and support of a partner while allowing them to tailor products to their evolving financial needs," said Frank Sottosanti, Chief Marketing Officer for BBVA Compass. "As a result 'banking built for you' was a homerun in our research and also dovetails perfectly with BBVA Group's global positioning statement, 'We walk alongside our clients through life's stages, anticipating their most important decisions and providing the best possible solutions.'"

Campaign Overview

The new campaign and ensuing media placements are the result of a joint effort between BBVA Compass and GSD&M Idea City. With the implementation of a market-by-market media strategy, BBVA Compass is able to capitalize on each individual market's strength in messaging to consumers.

Each state across BBVA Compass' footprint will see a :30 television spot that graphically displays the interplay between a customer and a banker through the lens of the customer's "typical" day. With the banker's offer to build a solution around the customer's unique needs using the bank's Build to Order Free Checking(R) product, BBVA Compass positions itself as a relationship building bank committed to finding a solution, regardless of the unique financial situation.

In addition to the television spot, markets across the bank's footprint will see print advertisements also focused on the Build to Order Free Checking(R) product, as well as an array of digital extensions, radio and OOH.

"BBVA Compass is a uniquely strong bank with relentless dedication to its customers and communities," said Duff Stewart, President and COO of GSD&M Idea City. "Using a variety of traditional and nontraditional media, the new brand campaign communicates these messages and highlights the collaborative customer focus of the BBVA Compass brand."

"With unlimited games, our FiOS and HSI broadband customers can do away with those annoying game-rental late fees and the hassles of storing and cataloging game discs," said Susan Retta, vice president for Verizon broadband marketing. "And when customers are away from home, they can access their account from any broadband connection to play online games or download new games to play later."

Among the hundreds of arcade, action, puzzle, sports, and word games are: -- For families - "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader," "Jewel Quest(R)," "The Price Is Right(TM)," "Boggle(R)" and "Risk.(TM)." -- For kids - "Bob The Builder(TM)," "Clifford The Big Red Dog(R)," "SpongeBob(TM) Teaches Typing," "American Girl" and "Zoo Tycoon." -- For Casual Gamers - "Bejeweled Twist(TM)," "Diner Dash(R)," "Agatha Christie(TM)," "Virtual Villagers(R)," "Splinter Cell(TM)" and "Prince of Persia(TM)."

The games offer is available throughout the summer and the titles can be downloaded to PCs and laptops. To order Verizon broadband and the unlimited gaming service call 1-800-VERIZON.

Comcast Partners With AG Blumenthal To Keep Kids Safe OnlineCT AG Featured in Child Internet Safety PSA During National Internet Safety Month

BERLIN, Conn., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast, Connecticut's leading provider of entertainment, information and communications products and services, today announced that they have joined forces with Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to keep children safe online. Comcast produced a 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA) featuring Attorney General Blumenthal and McGruff the Crime Dog focused on Internet safety that will air across Connecticut throughout the month of June, coinciding with National Internet Safety Month.

The PSA highlights steps and tips parents and caretakers can take to protect children and help them avoid online predators, cyber bullying and pornography, including installing parental controls, teaching kids to never give out their personal information online and keeping the home computer in a busy, central location.

"Comcast is committed to providing our customers with a safe and secure Internet experience," said Michael Parker, Comcast Vice President for Connecticut. "Children rely on the Internet more than ever for communication, research, school work and socialization, and while the Internet can be a powerful and effective tool, it is important to educate young people on how to stay safe online."

"The Internet provides profound opportunities -- but also perils -- for our children," said Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. "My office is continuing the vigorous battle to protect children from predators online. Because information is power, I am working with Comcast to educate parents and caregivers on the importance of Internet safety. Parents are always the first and last line of defense and we must provide them with all the tools necessary to protect their children."

Comcast is the nation's leading residential Internet Service Provider and takes its responsibility to provide a safe and secure online experience very seriously. With a comprehensive, multi-layered approach, Comcast has not only built Internet safety protections into the very fabric of its network operations, but has also partnered with leading Internet safety software companies and advocacy organizations to provide tools and resources for individuals and families to protect their identities, children and digital assets.

Comcast provides all of its residential high-speed internet customers with the McAfee(R) Internet Security Suite -- one of the most robust, highly-acclaimed Internet security solutions offered by any Internet Service Provider free of charge. Comcast Security powered by McAfee(R) Internet Security Suite provides a simple, convenient and reliable way for Comcast High-Speed Internet customers to protect their identities, their families and their computers. McAfee software provides a full suite of security tools for parents, including parental controls that block Web sites, filter Web content, monitor chat sessions and allow parents to log their children's Internet activity.

Comcast also offers a comprehensive Security Channel on its consumer portal, Comcast.net (http://www.comcast.net/security). The Comcast Security Channel serves as an online resource to help customers protect themselves from spam, viruses and other online threats.

The comprehensive set of McAfee(R) security tools is available in a single download on Comcast.net's Security Channel. Comcast.net customers can access Parental Control features by clicking the "parental controls" section on the main Security Center Web page at http://www.comcast.net/security, which also features tips and resources from the Internet Keep Safe Coalition (iKeepSafe).

Soitec's 300mm Ultra-Thin SOI Ready to Support Mainstream Ramp up of Fully Depleted Applications at 22nm NodeUTSOI Delivers Film Thickness Uniformity Control of Plus or Minus 5 Angstroms

BERNIN, France, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Soitec Group (Euronext Paris), the world's leading supplier of engineered substrates for the microelectronics industry, announced today that its 300mm ultra-thin SOI (UTSOI) wafer platform is qualified and ready to support fully depleted (FD) device applications scheduled on the industry's CMOS roadmaps for 22nm and beyond. Soitec introduced its 300mm UTSOI wafer platform, fabricated using the company's patented Smart Cut(TM) technology, at SEMICON West last year, and since then has been actively working on product options, process optimization, and internal and customer qualifications.

The latest breakthrough is Soitec's ability to manufacture SOI with extremely thin top-layer silicon (20nm) to a thickness uniformity tolerance of plus or minus5 A (angstroms) in high volume with high yields. The specific parameters of the final SOI substrate can be tailored to customer applications, and manufactured with the same yields and similar costs as the current generation of mainstream SOI wafers.

FD SOI has been used commercially for many years, but mainly for niche applications. Now industry leaders are reporting the advantages of fully depleted SOI for mainstream applications. "On fully depleted SOI, we've demonstrated 25nm high-k metal-gate devices with matching characteristics far superior to those obtained on bulk silicon," reported Dr. Olivier Faynot, Director of Advanced SOI technologies Development at CEA-Leti. "As it eliminates the need to dope the channel region, FD SOI solves threshold voltage (Vt) variability challenges at current and future nodes, while maintaining excellent Ion and Ioff characteristics and drastically reducing gate leakage current. With this uniform ultra-thin film SOI substrate, Soitec is delivering a solution for substantially improving Vt control of the CMOS device."

"UTSOI provides a solid foundation for planar and ultra-thin body devices, giving designers the ability to drastically cut power consumption and leakage while preserving performance. It simplifies the overall CMOS architecture, thus reducing the cost of ownership below a bulk approach," stated Paul Boudre, Chief Operating Officer of the Soitec Group.

GE Launches Program to Doctors, Hospitals to Accelerate EMR Adoption; First $100 Million of healthymagination CommitmentOffers Healthcare Providers Interest-free Funding for Immediate Access to Electronic Medical Records, Commits to Stimulus WarrantyElectronic Medical Records Can Help Improve Patient Outcomes, Reduce Medical Errors and Costs

FAIRFIELD, Conn., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GE today announced, as part of its healthymagination initiative to increase access to technology and reduce cost, the launch of a new program, Stimulus Simplicity, which offers doctors and hospitals an easier path to electronic medical records (EMR) adoption. This program is a joint offering of GE Healthcare and GE Capital and contains two core elements - a commitment to ensure the EMRs are certified (a precursor to federal stimulus reimbursement eligibility) and an interest-free loan with deferred payments. The program addresses some of the biggest barriers to EMR adoption faced by healthcare providers, uncertainty around future standards and interim funding to cover the capital investment.

GE's Stimulus Simplicity program helps physician offices and hospitals that invest in GE's electronic medical records (EMR) products, GE Centricity(R) EMR and Centricity Enterprise solutions, maximize the potential benefits of the increased focus on EMR under President Obama's stimulus funding bill. The financing enables healthcare providers to accelerate adoption of EMRs and further their efforts to reduce cost and improve patient care through greater access to valuable information at the point of care. GE's financial services business, GE Capital, will provide the financing with GE Healthcare providing its EMR product certification warranty.

The Hazard Clinic, in the Appalachian region of Eastern Kentucky, is among the first to qualify for the interest-free opportunity and will use the loan to purchase the Centricity EMR solution.

"This gives a small, rural clinic like ours a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring our patients the type of technology they'd typically have to travel for," said Stephanie Wooton, Hazard Clinic Administrator. "The case for EMR is clear and convincing. Yet, as a community-based organization, we likely wouldn't have been able to transform our recordkeeping without this offer. Now, not only do we expect the Centricity EMR to save us money by increasing efficiencies, it will empower our staff to deliver the topnotch care our patients deserve. Frankly, that's the most exciting part."

Under the HITECH Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), federal stimulus funds won't become available for EMRs until 2011 and the federal government has yet to set specific guidelines for determining what constitutes a "qualified" system. To overcome these barriers to immediate adoption of EMRs, GE is making an unparalleled commitment to support our customers' ability to meet "meaningful use" standards. GE is now offering its HITECH Warranty for Centricity EMR and Centricity Enterprise solutions and zero-interest funding with deferred payments to qualified buyers so they can have immediate access to this technology without the up-front capital costs.

"Electronic medical records are designed to assist providers in improving patient outcomes, and reducing medical errors and costs," said Vishal Wanchoo, president and CEO of GE Healthcare IT. "However, significant financial barriers are making healthcare providers hesitant to adopt the technology. Between the large upfront capital investment required in these challenging economic times and the uncertainty of the criteria to earn government incentive payments, small practices and facilities in rural areas and inner cities may decide the risks don't outweigh the potential benefits. GE's zero-interest interim funding and certification warranty provide doctors, community health clinics and hospitals a bridge to qualifying for stimulus funds and faster access to the improved care available through electronic medical record use."

GE Capital expects to make about $100 million available for the program, which is part of GE's long-term commitment to help health providers get access to innovation that improves health and reduces the cost of care.

Dan Henson, president and CEO at GE Capital, Americas, said, "EMRs have a bright future, and GE brings unique technology and financing capabilities that will accelerate its development. Our partnership with GE Healthcare in this program demonstrates the power of GE's portfolio in addressing important social needs. We can offer this attractive financing package because of the quality of GE's EMR offering, the reduced credit risk due to anticipated customer reimbursement from the HITECH Act, and the opportunity this program creates for new customer relationships for our healthcare financial services business."

Between 2003 and 2004, 22 percent of sick adults in America had duplicate tests ordered by different health care professionals.(1) Centricity EMR not only helps deliver quality care, but also provides surveillance of patient data to identify whether an appointment should be scheduled, a test performed or patient-specific health targets need to be reassessed. This focuses attention on the right, relevant care, and in addition to significantly less redundancy, GE solutions can take tens of thousands of dollars, per physician, out of the overall cost of care delivery(2).

The financing is part of GE's healthymagination initiative, a $6 billion commitment to improve access, affordability and quality of healthcare. Under healthymagination (http://www.healthymagination.com/), GE supports the expanded use of healthcare IT to speed communications, while limiting variation and controlling costs. By accelerating EMR and Health Information Exchange (HIE) adoption, GE expects to help remove $28 billion in cost from the health system while improving access to better and more affordable care.

GE's Centricity(R) EMR systems are used by more than 33,000 physicians and 900 hospitals and clinics, enabling ambulatory care physicians and clinical staff to document patient encounters, streamline clinical workflow and securely exchange clinical data with other providers, patients, and information systems.

GE's Centricity Enterprise is an integrated clinical, financial and administrative system that helps hospitals caregivers provide enhanced patient care through computerized physician order entry (CPOE), clinical decision support and expert rules, while documenting many aspects of patient care. The system integrates core clinical processes for orders, results, pharmacy and care documentation, in concert with administrative/financial processes for scheduling, registration/admitting, charging and billing. With Centricity Enterprise, hospitals of all sizes are able to quickly and easily drive best practice improvements in their organizations to improve communications between patient care teams.

Wavien, Inc. and Texas Instruments DLP(R) Announce Technology for Longer-life, Low Maintenance Projectors

VALENCIA, Calif., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Wavien, Inc. announce plans today to introduce Wavien's proprietary Dual Paraboloid Reflector (DPR(R)) technology. Wavien, Inc. and Texas Instruments (TI) DLP(R) Products will co-promote the DPR technology for the front projector market. Wavien's DPR technology extends the operating lifetime of standard arc lamps by over three times, reducing the frequency and cost of lamp replacement as well as significantly reducing maintenance downtime. The DPR system can be used with all standard arc lamps and traditional or advanced drivers including Brilliant Color pulse drive technology.

"Wavien's DPR technology offers a longer lifetime, significantly improved and maintained brightness, and higher efficiency in projection applications when used with OSRAM P-VIP(R) or Phoenix SHP lamps, and lamps from other qualified vendors." stated Dr. Kenneth Li, President and CEO of Wavien, Inc., who is also the inventor of the DPR technology. Dr. Li added: "This unique patented design enables a significant reduction in the cost of projector operation, which is especially important in classrooms where projector usage is very high. We are very excited to have the support of Texas Instruments DLP in promoting DPR technology."

The collaborative effort will concentrate initially on the rapidly growing market for projectors designed for educational use, including K-12 and higher education environments. The educational market is heavily burdened by frequent and costly projector maintenance, due to high usage requirements and dependence on reliable front projectors. Utilization of Wavien's DPR technology will bring about a reduction in projector maintenance and the total cost of projector ownership, and enable the design of a new generation of "low maintenance" and "maintenance free" projectors.

"At Texas Instruments DLP, we strive to partner with companies that are looking at innovative methods to extend the life of projector lamps and reduce the total cost of ownership for consumers," said Roger Carver, manager DLP Front Projection at Texas Instruments. "We are delighted with the extended lamp life achieved with Wavien's DPR technology and look forward to working with Wavien and our customers to bring DPR-powered projectors into the marketplace soon."

Oberthur Technologies Partners With the People's Bank of Georgia to Launch Contactless Payment VISA payWave Cards Throughout Central Europe

PARIS, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oberthur Technologies has officially launched a new Visa payWave contactless payment program with the People's Bank in Tbilisi, Georgia. The bank's 'Voyage Card' combines contact 'Chip and PIN' payment with Visa's payWave contactless payment application, enabling the cardholder to pay simply by placing their card in front of a reader. The card also offers MIFARE ticketing for use in public transport, putting it at the forefront of convergent technologies for payment. Combined with the visual impact of hot foil stamping technology, the Voyage Card will offer the People's Bank an effective marketing tool to create a "top-of-wallet" card that will in turn improve both customer frequency and loyalty.

The Voyage Card is also the first Visa payWave contactless card in the world to use Oberthur Technologies' state-of-the-art 'hot foil stamping' card-design technique, which provides the People's Bank with a new look for their card without any risk of transaction interference. Part of the card's design (a world map) is stamped with holographic material onto the card's surface. This creates a high-definition, embossed, holographic imprint that provides an eye-catching visual for the cardholder.

The bank plans to issue cards to students and teachers in Tbilisi, a key customer segment for the bank to encourage the use of contactless technology, and plans to rollout Visa payWave in pharmacies, railway stations, fast-food stores, schools and universities. Contactless payment replaces cash for low-value payments, the most common transaction type in Europe today. It shortens transaction times and shops checkout queues, creating critical time savings, not only for shoppers, but also for merchants, by increasing in-store discretionary spending. The Voyage Card's MIFARE application also allows the user to purchase personalized e-tickets for use in Tbilisi's public transport system.

"The People's Bank of Georgia is extremely satisfied with the role played by Oberthur Technologies in this very important project, both for the bank and for the country as a whole," comments George Glonti, CEO of the People's Bank. "Oberthur has been a reliable and supportive partner during this project, and the international experience, technical innovation and expertise of Oberthur technicians enabled us to issue the first VISA payWave Card in the CEMEA region - a historic and spectacular event in the card industry."

"The Visa payWave project with the People's Bank clearly illustrates that Oberthur's innovative technologies in contactless payment and smart plastics have real-world applications that will push the payment industry forward," states Frederic Chevreton, head of the payment product line, card systems division at Oberthur Technologies. "In this important region for the payment industry, consumers will be able to take advantage of the versatility, speed and security of contactless payment, as well as the flexibility of converged payment and public transport applications".

This honor is part of the weekly IT publication's 16th annual Best Places to Work in IT survey, which was published in the June 15 issue and online at http://www.computerworld.com/. CME Group is the only financial exchange to receive this honor.

The Best Places to Work in Information Technology (IT) list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals compiled by IDG's Computerworld, the "Voice of IT Management." The lists are compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. In addition, Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of IT workers, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.

"We are honored to receive this award and acknowledge the great work our team does to advance our reputation as a leading technology provider," said CME Group CEO Craig Donohue. "Thanks to their efforts, we facilitated the trading of three billion contracts representing $1.2 quadrillion in notional value last year.

"Given the current market environment, we are especially proud of the technology that supports our clearing services and improves our clients' ability to manage their risk."

Oberthur/id3 Fingerprint On-Card Comparison Biometrics Meets NIST Criteria

PARIS, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On 9 June 2009, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published the results of Phase III of the MINEX II program.

MINEX II evaluates the performances of fingerprint matching algorithms running on smart cards. The main advantage of On-Card Comparison is to enhance security and user privacy since the reference biometric data never leaves the card. It provides a very secure way of authenticating the card holder.

Oberthur Technologies/id3 On-Card comparison is one of two technologies that have successfully met NIST criteria.

The report clearly shows the capacity of the Oberthur/id3 algorithm to deliver exceptional performances in terms of interoperability, accuracy and speed, while maintaining an error rate lower than the thresholds defined in the US government's PIV program. The algorithm is the fruit of joint development by Oberthur Technologies and id3 Semiconductors, which have been working together since 1999 when the first proof of concept of On-Card Comparison was demonstrated.

Regardless of which of the 19 approved vendors were used to extract the fingerprint minutiae of 123,962 individuals, the Oberthur /id3 matcher demonstrated high accuracy with an error rate of under 0.55%. The algorithm not only exceeds PIV specifications, but is also the fastest to date with an average of 0.28 seconds per positive match. Another advantage, and not the least, is its very low consumption of processor resources (<3kB code, 1kB data), which facilitates implementation on a smart card. The On-Card algorithm was validated on Oberthur's Java platform, ID-One(TM) Cosmo.

This result opens the way to large-scale rollout of smartcard-embedded biometric verification technologies, doing away with the proprietary constraints imposed previously by the capture equipment used for enrollment or verification.

"By validating fingerprint comparison technology embedded on smart cards based exclusively on ISO/IEC 7816-11 and ISO/IEC 19794-2 standards, the NIST demonstrates the feasibility of implementing standardized solutions for rapid, interoperable matching with a high degree of accuracy, while remaining completely independent of the infrastructure used," said Christophe Goyet, Technical Marketing Director Identity for Oberthur North America."

"Recognition by the NIST of our On-Card algorithm rewards the work we have done over the last 10 years to promote adoption of this technology, which is less demanding in infrastructure and respects citizens' privacy. By successfully testing its performances, the NIST proved the maturity of On-Card comparison, thereby opening the way to numerous applications," commented Jean-Louis Revol, President of id3 Semiconductors.

The complete NIST report is available on http://fingerprint.nist.gov/minexII/.

AT&T Asks State Corporation Commission to Reconsider Order That Would Hinder Long Distance Rate ReductionsExisting Order Would Keep Long Distance Rates Too High; Would Obligate Consumers Statewide to Subsidize Embarq Telephone Company

RICHMOND, Va., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T* today announced that it has filed a motion asking the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) to reconsider a May 29 order that will keep prices for all in-state long distance calls too high, and that will obligate telephone customers across the Commonwealth to subsidize the Embarq Telephone Co. by at least $23 million this year, and nearly as much in subsequent years.

The case involves the regulatory "access fees" Embarq charges other telephone companies to originate and terminate in-state long distance calls to Embarq customers. In its filing, AT&T is asking the SCC to reduce Embarq's access fees by at least $23 million per year, the same way it reduced Verizon's access fees in 2005.

According to AT&T's filing, unless the Commission modifies its May 29 Order consumers all across Virginia will be paying at least $23 million too much for their long distance calls, just to subsidize Embarq, a company that serves less than 10 percent of Virginia's telephone lines.

"Ultimately, Embarq's high access rates are not an AT&T problem, or a Sprint problem, or a Verizon problem," says Mark A. Keffer, AT&T General Attorney & Associate General Counsel, Northeast Regulatory. "Rather, this is a consumer problem; a problem for every consumer in Virginia who is paying too much to make traditional in-state long distance calls, no matter where they live, and no matter which carrier they use."

The Sloan Consortium Launches Premier Virtual Symposium Powered by MediasiteSloan-C partners with Sonic Foundry to introduce its first blended conference linking educational leaders across the nation on-site and online

MADISON, Wis., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sonic Foundry, Inc. , the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management, today announced that through continued partnership with Sonic Foundry, The Sloan Consortium has selected the Mediasite platform to webcast all session at the International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning. The event will be held June 17 - 19 at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, California, and is collocated with the Moodle Moot user conference.

The Symposium highlights research, application and best practices of important emerging technological tools related to social networking, assessment, open educational resources, new media and support services. Designed to bring together individuals interested in the technological aspects of online learning, Sloan-C has expanded its conference offerings to include both the Virtual Symposium and the new Localness Initiative. Virtual attendees will participate in more than 40 multimedia presentations between the Sloan-C Symposium and Moodle Moot events, including keynote, expert panel, plenary and closing sessions, which will be streamed and archived with Mediasite. Remote attendees will also have access to a virtual exhibit hall, discussion forums and the ability to ask real-time questions through Mediasite's ask feature.

Under the Localness Initiative, higher education institutions provide conference materials - both live and recorded - to members of their institution and the community at large. The blended program provides the opportunity to incorporate faculty professional development for online learning at a time when training dollars are stretched.

The Symposium is the third international conference Sloan-C has webcasted with Sonic Foundry. The impetus to put presentations online stemmed from research Sloan-C conducted with its members which found 95 percent of respondents were interested in having access to conference sessions online, and over half stating they would not only attend the conference on-site, but also sign up to watch the streaming presentations at a later time.

"We know colleges and universities are facing travel and budget restrictions, and while attending in person is ideal, disseminating conference material and the knowledge presented online is now essential to the professional development of our members," said John Bourne, Executive Director of Sloan-C. "In keeping with our mission to integrate online education into the mainstream of higher education, we're excited to offer our Emerging Technologies Symposium via Mediasite, and we look forward to building this knowledge base by leaders in online learning for the online learning community.

The patented Mediasite webcasting and content management system quickly and cost-effectively automates the capture, management, delivery and search of rich media presentations that combine audio, video and accompanying graphics for live or on-demand viewing. The platform is increasingly used for events where organizations seek to complement the conference with viewing over the web.
