STMicroelectronics Advances Memory Manufacturing Technology to Deliver 512-Kbit Serial EEPROMs in 2 x 3mm Package OutlineNew memories promote scaling of designs to 512-Kbit density, with high-speed SPI and I2C interfaces

GENEVA, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , the world's largest supplier of serial EEPROMs, has leveraged its advanced non-volatile memory technology to deliver an industry first with two new 512-Kbit devices that offer the highest density memories available in the industry-standard 2 x 3 x 0.6mm 8-pin Micro Leadframe Package (MLP). Pin compatibility with memories of lower density allows designers to upgrade products quickly and efficiently by changing devices without redesigning the board.

Serial EEPROMs deliver non-volatile storage in low-pin-count packages, suitable for many consumer, industrial, medical and communication products. The devices' built-in byte-mode erasing capability allows easy parameter update; and 128-byte page write, together with 5ms write time, results in rapid programming of assembled boards on the production line.

In addition, with read current as low as 2mA and stand-by current less than 5 microamps, the new memories save energy in power-sensitive equipment such as battery-powered personal media devices or professional portable instruments. The wide operating-voltage range, from 1.8V to 5.5V, allows the same device to be used across many applications and product variants. Both types are also offered with an operating range of 2.5V to 5.5V.

The new devices are the M95512 featuring a 20MHz SPI port, and the M24512 with an I2C interface supporting 400kHz Fast-mode or 1MHz Fast-mode Plus. With its 20MHz SPI interface, the M95512 achieves data transfer speeds equal to the fastest serial EEPROMs currently available.

Both devices are also available in industry-standard SO-8 and TSSOP-8 packages. These new devices complete a full family of EEPROMs, delivered in MLPs from 2 to 128 and 512-Kbit densities. A 256-Kbit device will be available in Q4 2009.

The M95512 and M24512 in MLP 2x3 packages are available in mass production and are priced from $0.80 for high-volume orders.

PoliceOne: COPsync Increases Officer Safety, Adds High-Tech Tools to the Squad Car

CANYON LAKE, Texas, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- COPsync, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: COYN) is pleased to announce that the Company and its software technology were featured in a publication by PoliceOne.com. The article was authored by Senior Editor, Doug Wyllie. Please visit http://www.policeone.com/ for more information regarding the publication.

COPsync increases officer safety, adds high-tech tools to the squad car

On August 3rd, 2000, Texas Highway Patrol Trooper Randall Wade Vetter stopped a 72-year-old driver for not wearing his seatbelt. Unbeknownst to Trooper Vetter, the old man had been known to local officers for statements he'd made -- he'd said he would shoot any officer who tried to write him a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt.

Trooper Vetter was attacked by the suspect, who had exited his vehicle and opened fire with a rifle. Trooper Vetter, struck in the head, survived for four days before succumbing to his injuries.

We will never forget Trooper Vetter. Early History

Getting vital, real-time, officer safety information into the hands of cops on the streets became a life mission of two Texas police officers after the incident that claimed the life of Texas Trooper Randal Wade Vetter. Shane Rapp, a law enforcement officer in the state of Texas for 13 years, and business partner Russell Chaney, an active officer in Texas for 20-plus years, at the time had been technology entrepreneurs with a venture that was eventually sold to eBay. That company, CARad.com, leveraged legacy systems within the auto dealer industry that enabled dealers to list their cars on eBay. Basically, with just a few clicks of a computer mouse (and within about two minutes or less) a dealer could have a car listed on eBay.

Less than a year after launching their technology, Rapp's and Chaney's company controlled about a quarter of the cars listed on eBay -- CARad.com was selling $30K, $40K, and $50K cars, meaning a tiny Texas startup represented a vast volume of eBay's gross merchandise sales. For fairly obvious strategic reasons, the Silicon Valley giant practically had to buy out Rapp and Chaney to guarantee that eBay's financial destiny remained squarely in the hands of Meg Whitman and Co.

"That kind of put us in a position to where we could come back and help our brothers in blue and also give us an opportunity to really improve the profession we absolutely love doing," Rapp, who is Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for COPsync, told PoliceOne in an exclusive interview.

"Like I said, that set us up to where we could pretty well do what we wanted to do, but law enforcement is our profession and we wanted to improve the profession," Rapp said.

"During the build of that company, there was a Texas trooper who made a traffic stop on a 72-year-old man for a seat belt violation. Twenty-two seconds into the traffic stop, Trooper Randall Vetter lay on the ground fatally shot. That particular trooper worked in our county. I had dispatched the trooper for several years and worked with him out on the roads for several years. So of course working together, you develop that bond and that friendship..."

Recall that this 72-year-old suspect had previously stated that he was going to kill a police officer. This information was captured in a local database because he had made a threat to an off duty officer. The off duty cop went back, did a report, putting it in the system to be disseminated among officers in that department and quite probably to officers with the other departments in that area. Rapp and his colleagues believe that if Trooper Vetter had access to that information, the incident could have turned out much differently.

"This trooper had recently transferred to that county and did not get that information, and there was no way to notify him of it. So we said 'absolutely not -- this cannot happen ever again; we need to do our best to keep that from happening'. It was a tragic situation and our way of coping with it was to develop something that would keep it from happening in the future."

After spending 18 months on research and development, COPsync was launched in April 2004.

How it Works

Rapp says that the whole premise behind COPsync was to build an officer safety notification system. He says that in doing the research to accomplish that, his team discovered a need to work with lots of other technology vendors. Unfortunately, he says, most law enforcement systems in this space are very, very proprietary.

"They don't play well together and it causes issues amongst law enforcement agencies, so from day one we took a position that we will always remain neutral. We said, 'let's build for the mobile environment; let's actually provide it to the guys that are riding around in the patrol car.' And that meant we had to be hardware agnostic, vendor agnostic, and to be honest with you I could almost venture to say that we are technology agnostic. What I mean by that is, we built our technology from the foundation up to work with any possible system that is out there."

"So you're talking all sorts of database types -- SQL [Structured Query Language], Unix, Oracle, Informix, you-name-it, we should be able to push data back to those databases. We're working with systems that are written in many different languages. We can transfer data using several different formats, as needed by third party vendors, including simple comma or tab delimited flat files, or XML based formats that comply with the Department of Justice's GJXDM [Global Justice XML Data Model]."

So much for the "back end" technology that makes it go -- what does the cop in the squad car or dispatcher sitting at a desk in the station see? What tools does it put in the hands of law enforcement officers?

COPsync is primarily used with touch-screen laptops. The technology team listened to many officers in the field and from that feedback knew that the most useful way to utilize the software would be to just touch a button on the screen to navigate around and to enter keyboard strokes like license plate numbers, suspect names, etc. The buttons are very simple and easy to use. If you want to run a vehicle registration, you just hit the button that says 'Registration.' If you're looking to do an 'Offense Report,' you hit the button that has offense report on it.

In the instance where you're not looking at a menu of buttons, the interface presents information in a large, easily-readable font. In addition to the "at-a-glance" usability of the visual display, the system also "speaks" to the officer. But unlike most computer voices, this one is not an irritation or a distraction -- the technology here could easily have been the system's downfall but the engineers and developers clearly had the eyes AND EARS of the street cop at the tops of their minds.

Speaking of himself and partner Chaney, Rapp explains, "We're both still active officers in the state but we didn't know everything there was to know about law enforcement, so we actually brought some consultants. We brought in a veteran of the Texas Highway Patrol, brought in a veteran of the La Port Police Department, and then we brought in a criminal district attorney as well as a reserve deputy sheriff. That way we could kind of cover the whole gamut from an officer's perspective."

In addition to some of the more basic features provided in the COPsync solution (such as secure, private Instant Messenger and e-mail), there are many reports and other functions that can be accessed from a rack-mounted laptop in the squad car that's running COPsync. There is a comprehensive breakdown of features on the COPsync Web site but just a few examples of the system's capabilities are:

• The COPsync e-Citation module, which was "created to provide a simplified, time saving method of capturing citations real-time in an electronic format." The company says that "capturing this data electronically allows for immediate transmission of the citation data, making it visible to other officers immediately."

• The COPsync Crash Report Builder, which provides a "standardized interface for completing state mandated crash reports." The company says that states with Crash Reporting Bureaus which are equipped with "electronic submission capabilities, the information can be electronically transmitted to the bureau immediately upon completion and agency approval of the report."

• The COPsync DUI/DWI reporting module, which collects information about all people associated with the case including the driver, other occupants of the vehicle, witnesses, etc. The company says that "information obtained from scanning the Driver's Licenses is used to auto-populate not only the DUI/DWI report, but also citations, vehicle tow sheets, jail forms, court required complaints, offense reports, government (local, state, and federal) mandated forms, and more."

• The COPsync Law Reference Library module "houses a complete set of state-specific statutes and traffic laws, with enhanced and simplified query capabilities." The company says that "officers are frequently asked by citizens about certain laws; even as simple as what type of restraint their child is required to have. The Law Reference dramatically simplifies finding these answers."

One of the most impressive capabilities, however, goes right back to officer safety. If at any time an officer enters information on a subject who has a BOLO, an arrest warrant, or any history of violence against an officer included in the system records, a subtle but unmistakable audible tone is emitted within the squad car. It's enough sound to alert the officer, but not enough to be heard by the subject outside, and it's sheer genius. If you (or your kids) play video games, think about the sound you hear when an enemy fighter has "missile-lock" on a player, and you get a pretty good idea of the type of sound we're talking about.

Furthermore, as soon as that audible tone and visual alert happen in the squad on the scene, the system automatically transmits an officer safety alert to all COPsync-equipped patrol cars within a 50 mile radius regardless of their jurisdiction.

"As you know across the Unites States there are many places where a Sherriff's Deputy may be patrolling and his closest backup may be a city police officer or a state officer," Rapp explains. "So we made it to where it will even cross jurisdictions. Basically we just want to get somebody there as fast as we can. And so the system can go out within that 50 mile radius and notify those other units."

The Future

Rapp concludes, "There are three pillars that we look at now. Once the product was developed we kind of honed in and this was our focus: Officer safety being number one, information-sharing being number two and officer efficiency being number three. So by collecting all the data in a standardized format we now share that data across any agency that's on the COPsync system as well as if they use our mobile piece -- we will push it to their records, their jail, and/or their court system."

The company and its technology have evolved over the years, and the COPsync team continues to innovate. Many of those innovations come from the interactions that Rapp and his colleagues have on a daily basis with cops on the streets.

"We recently received a phone call from Chief Deputy Kurt Fisher in Rains County, Texas. They had an officer who basically went into distress -- they couldn't raise him on the radio and they couldn't raise him on the cell phone. Basically he's missing in action. No radio contact, no cell phone contact. They were able to use the COPsync system to know exactly where he was through our AVL and GPS capabilities, and actually get an officer to his location. One of the new things that's coming out in the next release of the product -- if you're familiar with the etone button that's on radios you'll know what I mean -- COPsync as a result of this particular situation will now have an officer-initiated etone-like button. If he does go into distress he can hit that button and it takes care of business, and he knows that help's on the way. A panic button if, you will."

ASAT Holdings Limited Announces Agreement in Principle With a Majority of Noteholders on Restructuring Terms and Extension of Forbearance Period Through July 31, 2009

HONG KONG and DONGGUAN, China and MILPITAS, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ASAT Holdings Limited (BULLETIN BOARD: ASTTY) (the "Company"), a global provider of semiconductor package design, assembly and test services, today announced that it has reached agreement in principle with a majority of its creditors on the terms of a consensual financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") of the obligations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries under the 9.25% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Existing Notes") issued by New ASAT (Finance) Limited and the loan provided to ASAT pursuant to the Purchase Money Loan Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2005 (the "PMLA"), between the Company and certain lenders.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080325/AQTU023LOGO)

Upon completion of the Restructuring, the Existing Notes and PMLA will be exchanged for new notes due 2016 in an aggregate principal amount of approximately US$70 million and a number of newly issued ordinary shares equal in aggregate to approximately 66% of the total outstanding ordinary shares on a fully diluted post-Restructuring basis, and existing holders of ordinary shares of the Company will hold less than 1% of the equity of the Company on a fully-diluted post-Restructuring basis.

A key feature of the Restructuring is that all trade creditors, suppliers, customers and employees will receive all amounts owed to them in the ordinary course of business.

The restructuring of the Existing Notes will be implemented through a creditor scheme of arrangement in the Cayman Islands courts. The first court hearing is scheduled for July 30, 2009.

"This agreement in principle is excellent news for our Company, our employees, our suppliers and customers worldwide because it is a major step towards completing the Restructuring, enabling us to participate in the general recovery in the industry and return to improved financial performance," said TL Li, the Company's acting CEO. "In addition to improving the capital structure, I am pleased by the cooperative nature of discussions with the Noteholders, customers and vendors. The spirit of cooperation exhibited by all parties is essential for ASAT to continue as a strong industry player."

"Our largest Noteholders and the PMLA lenders have taken a proactive role in this exercise that have enabled us to reach agreement on terms that will result in a stronger ASAT," said Kei Hong Chua, chief financial officer of ASAT Holdings Limited. "We are seeking to have the scheme approved and sanctioned by the court as quickly as possible, and the Company, the Noteholders and all the lawyers involved are working as rapidly as possible to make sure this occurs."

The largest Noteholders and other participants in the working group representing a significant majority in value of the Existing Notes have also expressed satisfaction with the terms of the proposed Restructuring. "Today's announcement is the result of intensive negotiations between, and hard work from, key stakeholders and their respective advisers. We believe it provides fair value to all concerned," said a spokesman for Clearwater Capital Partners. "We look forward to working now with all parties to document and close this Restructuring as soon as practicable and with minimum inconvenience to the Company's daily operations."

"Our agreement in principle with ASAT is an important step forward in the Company's Restructuring and will serve as a positive example of what can be achieved through working together to reach a solution," said a spokesman for JP Morgan Asia Equity Partners, the general partner of certain funds that are significant shareholders of ASAT and the lenders under the PMLA.

The Company also received an additional Extension of Forbearance Period under the Forbearance Agreement with a majority of its Noteholders and the lenders under the PMLA. The extended duration of the forbearance agreement is for a period of 30 consecutive days, commencing on July 1, 2009 and expiring on July 31, 2009 ("Additional Forbearance Period"). The same terms and conditions of the original Forbearance Period will stay in effect for the Additional Forbearance Period.

Under terms of the forbearance agreements, the lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Company with respect to certain designated defaults until after July 31, 2009, subject to certain early termination events. For further details regarding the terms of the forbearance agreement, see ASAT Holdings' report on Form 6-K dated March 2, 2009 furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at http://www.sec.gov/.

The Company requested the additional time as it continues discussions with its Noteholders and the lenders under the PMLA on the Restructuring.

BullMarket.com Publishes 40-Page High-Yield MLP Report

PRINCETON, N.J., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- BullMarket.com (http://www.bullmarket.com/), an online investment newsletter focused on long-term growth and income-generating stocks, has published a 40-page special report on master limited partnerships (MLPs). The report covers over 30 MLPs and LLCs and gives BullMarket's top pick in nine different subsectors.

Among the stocks featured in the report include Enbridge Energy Partners , Linn Energy , Targa Resource Partners , Teekay Tankers , Suburban Propane Partners , and many more.

In its MLP special report, BullMarket.com wrote: "For income-oriented investors, MLPs make good investments, as they provide a steady source of income that also has tax benefits. Usually about 80-90% of the distributions from MLPs are tax deferred and are classified as return of capital, which instead reduces an investor's original cost basis. Thus, one wouldn't have to pay taxes on this part of the distribution until the stock is sold."

BullMarket.com looked at the following topics, among others:

-- Why are MLPs a good investment option for income-oriented investors? Are their dividends safe?

-- How can MLPs pay out dividends that are higher than their reported profits?

-- What characteristics does BullMarket.com look for when picking MLP investments?

-- What valuation metrics should investors look at when choosing an MLP investment?

NI Technology Research Updates Outlooks for Apple, Research in Motion, Nokia, EMC, VMware, Juniper Networks, and Motorola

PRINCETON, N.J., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Apple , Research in Motion , Nokia , EMC , VMware , Juniper Networks and Motorola .

Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his subscribers generate huge returns on undervalued tech stocks in 2009. Out of the 80 stocks highlighted in his Undervalued Tech Stocks reports, 21 have produced returns in excess of 70% year to date. All of these were ranked as either good "strategic" or "speculative" buys. The average return for all stocks ranked as either "speculative" or "strategic" buys was 40.7%, better than twice the return of stocks he thought readers should avoid.

McWilliams now turns his attention to his quarterly State of Tech reports. In this exclusive series of reports, McWilliams offers data, charts, and analysis that illustrate important tech paradigms and highlight important trends that will move stocks during the upcoming quarter.

To read McWilliams' State of Tech series that is designed to prepare investors for the July earnings season, please accept our invitation to take a free 21-day, no risk test drive with Next Inning by visiting the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn842

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his most recent State of Tech report:

-- The smartphone sector has been a bright spot during the last six months and many of the stocks in the sector have posted significant gains. What has held the price of Nokia down? Is there a value proposition here that Wall Street is missing?

-- What factors have set Apple and RIM apart from the competition in the smartphone market? What lessons did Apple learn from battling with Microsoft over the years that it has leveraged to build differentiation in the smartphone market?

-- Without a doubt, the value proposition of EMC is complicated by its 84% stake in VMware. By breaking down both how VMware is represented in EMC's stock price and on EMC's income statements, McWilliams helps both EMC and VMware investors see the true value proposition of both stocks individually and combined under the EMC ticker. What is his outlook for these companies for the second half and how does he think the value proposition stacks up?

-- The price of Juniper is up 43% since McWilliams called it a good "strategic" buy in March? What is McWilliams' fair value target for the stock? Is he recommending that investors continue to build positions in Juniper at the current price?

-- Now that Motorola shares have reached the $6.50 short-term price target that McWilliams set in March, is there room for further gains from the stock or is it time to take profits?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 175% since its inception versus 2% for the S&P 500.

About Next Inning:

Verizon Wireless Expands 3G Wireless Network in Worcester, MassachusettsInvestment in Worcester County, Massachusetts to Stay Ahead of Rising Demand for 3G Multimedia and Internet Access

WORCESTER, Mass., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has expanded its network with a new cell site in Worcester, Massachusetts. The new cell site provides increased 3G high-speed wireless broadband coverage along I-290, Cambridge Street and Southbridge Street in downtown Worcester, as well as the surrounding areas.

Verizon Wireless, originally the first wireless provider to offer 3G speeds, today has the largest and most reliable 3G network coverage area in the United States, giving customers with notebook computers or smartphones the ability to:

-- Browse the web faster with quicker page loading times -- Quickly download and play music -- Watch streaming video -- Send emails with attachments -- Download and play 3D games -- Video conference with your contacts -- Rapidly share files

"Verizon Wireless' 3G network coverage across New England is unparalleled," said director for Network System Performance for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright. "We've invested billions of dollars into New England believing that even the most sophisticated cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on. Our continued aggressive network investments provide customers with a 3G network advantage at home and on vacation."

The company has invested more than $50 billion since its inception to increase the wireless voice and data coverage of its national network and to add new 3G services like Mobile Broadband and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested more than $2.4 billion into its New England network over the past nine years, including $240 million in 2008 alone. As the carrier with America's largest and most reliable wireless network, Verizon Wireless cell sites in New England provide 3G wireless data connectivity.

Mobile Broadband Internet Access

Verizon Wireless' 3G high-speed wireless broadband network keeps customers connected. With Mobile Broadband from Verizon Wireless, notebook computer users can access email, download files and browse the Internet at broadband speed (average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps). A one megabyte email attachment - the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file - can be downloaded in about eight seconds and uploaded in less than 13 seconds.

V CAST: Video and Music

Powered by the company's 3G high-speed network, V CAST multimedia services offer customers the ability to download full song tracks, play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to their phones. With content updated daily, customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather, sports highlights and the hottest entertainment clips.

V CAST Music with Rhapsody

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

Most Reliable Wireless Network

The company's 'America's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country. By traversing more than one million miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas - the equivalent of two roundtrips to the moon or 40 trips around the world - the test men and women 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 and largest wireless voice and data network, serving more than 86.6 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with more than 86,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Report Concerning Impact of Clean Energy Bill Released for Solar Investors

LAS VEGAS, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- An article addressing the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES), also known as the Waxman-Markey bill, and its potential impact on related equities is available free of charge at:

http://smallcapsentinel.com/CleanEnBill

Investors of the following companies are encouraged to read the commentary "Investing and the Clean Energy Bill" and to register to receive similar intelligence from Small Cap Sentinel, a leading source for information on the markets, solar energy, and emerging equities: ReneSola Ltd. , United Technologies Corp. , Trina Solar Limited , SunPower Corp. , MEMC Electronic Materials , Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. , and China Sunergy Co., Ltd. .

From the report: The bill narrowly passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 219 to 212 on Friday and it will now go to the Senate where most agree that it will face much tougher scrutiny. With each state having equal representation, the Senators from the 25 that rely heavily on coal are likely to vigorously oppose it. Nonetheless, we should have a final verdict in the near future, although the debate will no doubt continue. With so much debate surrounding this bill, how can you invest without knowing the eventual outcome? Here's how:

China Voice Holding Corp. Provides Update to ShareholdersWith Focus on Asian Market Company Expects Higher Margins and Growth

BOCA RATON, Fla., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Voice Holding Corporation (CHVC) today provided an update to Shareholders since completing the previously announced sale of its U.S. Subsidiaries to Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: FLTT) on January 29, 2009.

CHVC's President and CEO Bill Burbank, said, "We are happy to report that the U.S. subsidiaries sold to Flint Telecom Group, Inc. have been successfully integrated into their operations. While Flint experienced some initial delays in receiving funding to enable payments to China Voice, Flint has overcome the funding obstacles and is now current on payments to the Company. As Flint's largest shareholder, CHVC is pleased with their progress and the value represented by Flint. We believe that our relationship and position with Flint will reap positive returns for China Voice's shareholders."

Ron Allen, CHVC's CFO commented, "I just returned from a trip to Asia where I was able to work with our newly appointed business development firm, GVE Group Private Limited Singapore in establishing a plan to advance and grow CHVC in China. GVE is now working closely with the Company to identify acquisition candidates and companies that will help us to advance our Government Contracts for SKY O/A, our Office Automation application with integrated digital phone services. To achieve our Business Plan objectives in Asia, we have recently acquired Sino Beyond Limited, a Hong Kong company which will provide the vehicle for CHVC to acquire additional complementary businesses in the region. CHVC is a fully reporting company and is in the process of being sponsored by a Market Maker to become approved for quotation on the OTCBB market. The Company expects to work through the OTCBB approval process to become traded during this summer."

Burbank continued, "Our China contract deployments have been slower than anticipated due to the merger between China Netcom and China Unicom. The good news is that we are in the final stages of signing a new agreement with the surviving entity, China Unicom, to sell and deploy SKY O/A under the ICT business brand.

The Q-Chat teleconferencing application developed by CHVC subsidiary Candidsoft Technologies Company Ltd. of Beijing, Inc. (Candidsoft) for China Unicom's (CUC) SCDMA cellular network in GuangXi Autonomous Region and previously announced on March 03, 2009, continues to support over 400,000 users. To date, CUC has not expanded this application into other markets, primarily because CUC has not standardized its cellular network throughout the Country.

Burbank added, "CHVC has continued to maintain offices in Boca Raton, Florida, Dallas, Texas, Singapore and in Beijing and Nanning, China. We are grateful to our shareholders, employees and business partners for their support and hard work through this transition. The Company is now well positioned to move forward for the benefit of its shareholders."

China Voice Holding Corp. ("CHVC") is a U.S. publicly-traded holding company headquartered in South Florida with a portfolio of next-generation communications products and services doing business in the People's Republic of China. Through its subsidiaries, the Company provides Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") telephone services, office automation, wireless broadband, unified messaging, video conferencing, mobility services and other advanced voice and data services in China, where the Company has obtained full legal status as a licensed telecommunications company. CHVC's focus is on providing its innovative and patented voice and data solutions to government agencies and large enterprises in China. China Voice Holding Corp. trades Over-the-Counter and is listed in the Pink Sheets under the symbol "CHVC". CHVC has become a fully reporting company and files required financial and disclosure reports with the SEC.

Gomez & SAVVIS Sign Channel Partner AgreementSavvis to Resell and Use Gomez's Web Application Experience Management Platform for SLA Monitoring

LEXINGTON, Mass., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Gomez, Inc. (http://www.gomez.com/), the leader in Web application experience management, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Savvis, Inc. , a global leader in IT infrastructure services.

Under the agreement, Savvis will resell Gomez's industry-leading platform of Web application performance management solutions which are used by businesses to optimize the performance and availability of their Web and mobile applications. Savvis will offer Gomez's on-demand solutions as a value-added SaaS service, part of its hosting platform for businesses that are developing and deploying Web applications. Using Gomez's platform, Savvis' customers will be able to test and measure their Web applications from the "outside-in" - from the browser to the data center - to find and fix business-impacting performance issues that can occur anywhere in the Web application delivery chain.

Savvis will also use Gomez's platform to monitor the performance of its own managed hosting and cloud computing services. This will enable Savvis to independently validate its performance levels and monitor its contractual service level agreements (SLAs). This makes Savvis one of the first hosted service providers to offer SLAs that support levels of application performance from the cloud all the way to the end-user.

Savvis selected Gomez as its preferred Web application experience management provider based on its unique ability to test and measure Web applications across all browsers, devices and geographies, using the world's most comprehensive testing global network which spans more than 100,000 locations.

"It was important to Savvis to offer our customers industry-leading solutions for Web application experience management and in our opinion no other vendor could match the reach and scope of the Gomez Last Mile(TM) network, a distinct differentiator," said Brad Hokamp, SVP and General Manager, Hosting Business Unit at Savvis. "Being able to test Web application performance from the outside-in is fundamental to truly understanding how Web applications are performing for end-users. This relationship not only offers great value to our customers, but also gives Savvis a strategic edge with the ability to independently validate our SLAs."

"Savvis stands out as one of the most forward-thinking service providers. By both using and offering Gomez's solutions, they are adding to their value proposition and become a more attractive service provider to enterprises seeking to build and deploy Web applications," said Tom Meusel, Gomez's VP of Worldwide Channels. "This agreement underscores the strategic value that Gomez offers to managed services and cloud providers."

Hospital Improves Patient Experience by Adding Email and Web Access in Patient Rooms With Virtual Linux DesktopsIBM, NoMachine and Novell solution provides hospital patients personal desktops at fraction of energy and maintenance costs of PCs, says Glendale Adventist Medical Center

ARMONK, N.Y., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IBM , NoMachine and Novell announce today that Glendale Adventist Medical Center (GAMC) in Glendale, California has improved the experience of its hospital patients by delivering email and Web access in patient rooms, while saving significant information technology (IT) maintenance and energy costs.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090701/NY40757 ) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

The hospital installed personal computing stations in 65 patient rooms of its new West Tower, enabling patients to surf the Internet, communicate with friends and family through social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter, and research medical information about their condition.

The hospital estimates that the energy-efficient "thin client" computer monitors save 60 percent in electricity costs versus stand-alone PCs. The hospital estimates that the new desktops have saved 98 percent of the IT costs that would have been spent maintaining normal PCs.

GAMC patients have responded enthusiastically to the desktops, and the hospital sees this service as a way to attend to the patients' emotional needs and stand out from competitors. Some patients use the computers to blog about their hospital stay or update CarePages, popular patient Web sites that connect patients with chronic illnesses to their friends and families.

"Just as easily as the hospital provides patients with TVs in rooms, now we provide personal computing," said Roger Pruyne, senior programmer/analyst and project manager for the GAMC Patient Computing project. "The solution from NoMachine, Novell and IBM has delivered fantastic results for patients and the IT team. Considering our patients' positive feedback, we're looking to expand the project to other Adventist Health hospital locations."

GAMC says it also plans to extend its use of virtual desktops for employee and clinical use in the future. For more than 100 years, GAMC in Glendale, California, has been on the leading edge of medical technology. The hospital offers a wide range of advanced services, including many that are normally available only in major university-affiliated hospitals.

Using virtualized Linux desktops has kept the costs of the patient service low while maintaining a high level of privacy and security. Updates and maintenance to the software can be made on a centralized server by the hospital's IT staff, while no data is left on the local client monitor after the patient checks out of the hospital room. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop from Novell is the operating system that virtualizes the 65 desktops. NoMachine, creator and global distributor of NX desktop and application delivery software, provides complete and efficient remote access. An IBM System x3650 server provides the back-end computing system, and IBM experts also advised GAMC on the project's design.

"Glendale Adventist Medical Center has found a healthy balance of new patient services and lower IT costs," said Inna Kuznetsova, director of IBM Linux strategy. "With Web access to friends and family, the hospital's virtual Linux desktops are improving its patients' real hospital experience."

The NoMachine NX system provides easy set-up and installation, reducing the need for software support and technical assistance, enabling a smooth deployment of the in-hospital remote desktop solution for patients. NX's data encryption allows the secure transfer of confidential information and patient records.

"An important feature of this project is NX's ability to enable a connection over any type of network, including low-bandwidth and dial-up," said Sarah Dryell, business development manager for NoMachine. "NX's unique compression and caching features also provide a seamless remote connection from the thin client to the server, giving the patients the feel of being on their own personal computer, while reducing power consumption and support costs."

Synopsys MVSIM Adopted for Low Power Verification of STw8500 Mobile SoC PlatformComprehensive Support for Low Power Techniques and High Level of Accuracy Significantly Improve Bug Detection

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today announced that ST-Ericsson has adopted Synopsys' MVSIM low power dynamic verification solution for its STw8500 system-on-chip (SoC) platform for the mobile phone market. ST-Ericsson selected MVSIM for its proven ability to comprehensively verify low power techniques, including standby and built-in automated low power assertions, which enable the early detection of bugs. The tool's extensive support for the IEEE 1801 [Unified Power Format (UPF)] power format, on which the STw8500 project team has standardized, was also a deciding factor.

"Mobile handset applications are driven by battery life, which necessitates the application of complex low power design techniques," said Francois Martin, director of the Wireless Multimedia Digital SoC's Business Unit at ST-Ericsson. "We chose MVSIM because of its ability to comprehensively verify the advanced low power techniques we employ for our wireless designs and detect bugs early in our design cycle."

The voltage-level aware simulation in MVSIM enables accurate verification of low power designs and improves bug detection. Its comprehensive set of built-in, automated low power assertions boost verification productivity. MVSIM, a core component of Synopsys' Eclypse(TM) Low Power Solution, is production-proven and works at the RTL and gate levels. MVSIM addresses complex low power verification challenges and enables customers to achieve their high-quality goals while meeting time-to-market constraints.

"The mobile phone market imposes some of the most stringent requirements on power and therefore demands the most advanced low power verification solution," said Swami Venkat senior director of functional verification marketing at Synopsys. "Synopsys continues to pioneer tools and methodologies to help address low power verification challenges, including the recent publication of the Verification Methodology Manual for Low Power (VMM-LP) book. ST-Ericsson's adoption of MVSIM confirms the tool's growing momentum in the mobile market segment."

Residents of Onawa, Iowa, to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network EnhancementsNew Cell Site Means Clearer Reception, Fewer Dropped Calls

ONAWA, Iowa, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, the wireless company with the highest customer loyalty, has activated a new cell site near Onawa, which will enable more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; access the Internet; view high-quality videos; and download music, games and ringtones, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

The new cell site, located near Interstate 29 and Iowa Avenue improves coverage north of the site five miles on I-29, south for three miles on I-29, east to downtown Onawa and west to Lewis and Clark State Park.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $50 billion since it was formed--$5.5 billion on average every year--to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. In 2008, the company invested more than $24 million in its Iowa network.

Overstock.com Drops Internet Affiliate Advertisers in California, Hawaii, North Carolina and Rhode Island.States' Tax Plans Backfire as e-tailer Ends Affiliate Relationships

SALT LAKE CITY, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. today sent notices to all of its affiliate advertisers in California, Hawaii, North Carolina and Rhode Island that it is dropping their services owing to eminent passage of laws requiring internet retailers to collect taxes if they have local affiliate advertisers.

In May 2008, Overstock.com ended its relationship with over 3,400 of its New York advertising affiliates and sued the state when New York enacted the first of these anti-internet advertising laws. The suit is still pending along with a sister suit brought by Amazon.com.

"It's painful to have to terminate these relationships with affiliates, simply because they live in states where counterproductive (and likely unconstitutional) laws are being passed," said Patrick Byrne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Overstock.com. "However, politicians have to remember that a tax is a price that government charges for a service, and when they raise their prices, we're going to buy less of their services."

Overstock.com's President, Jonathan Johnson, added: "Internet advertising is a tidy little business that can be done by just about anyone, anywhere on the globe. When states unwisely and unconstitutionally pass these laws, their local internet ad business will quickly go dark, and that business will simply migrate to states more friendly to internet commerce. In the end, the only thing to be accomplished by these laws will be to put more local citizens out of work--exactly the wrong choice in a down economy."

Overstock.com's action comes on the heels of Amazon's recent termination of its own North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Hawaii internet ad affiliates.

A handful of other states have considered similar laws which attempt an end-run around U.S. Supreme Court decisions requiring that a company have "physical presence" in a state before it can enforce sales tax collection obligations. The laws in question seek to designate local, independent internet advertisers as constituting sufficient physical presence in a state to justify the imposition of collection obligations.

Byrne observed: "Outside of Utah, we don't have the type of operations that storefront and other retailers have, and we don't impose the same burdens on local state infrastructure that locally based business do; therefore, imposing similar tax collection obligations on us in those states is patently unfair. When you come to realize that there are 7,000 taxing districts in this country, you get a glimpse of how big the burden would be. We, of course, do collect taxes, but only in states where we have physical operations - as the Constitution requires."

Overstock.com plans to sever its affiliate advertising relations in each state that appears to be close to passage of similar laws, and only reinstate these businesses in states were such laws are found unconstitutional, are vetoed or repealed. In addition to the states affected by today's action, the Connecticut legislature has considered, but not acted on a bill, and similar initiatives were considered and rejected by the Maryland, Minnesota, and Tennessee legislatures when those bodies foresaw the negative economic consequences.

When asked what will happen if states continue to put pass these laws, Byrne replied, "Sadly, the business of internet advertising will be one more US-invented business that will migrate overseas."
