MedicineWorks.com Launches New Web Application, InteractionsGuide(TM)

BEAVERTON, Ore., March 15 -- Oregon-based MedicineWorks(TM) has announced the launch of InteractionsGuide.com, a user-friendly web application and online database designed to support physicians and pharmacists in evaluating and managing interactions between prescription drugs and herbs, vitamins, minerals and other supplements. Through powerful search and analysis functions InteractionsGuide(TM) enables electronic access to the content of Herb, Nutrient and Drug Interactions: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Strategies, a collaborative effort, and highly praised landmark publication by Mitchell Bebel Stargrove, ND, LAc, Dwight McKee, MD and Jonathan Treasure, MA, MNIMH, RH.

The study of "interactions between herbs, nutrients and drugs is a complex and constantly evolving field," commented co-author Dwight McKee, MD. "It is filled with case reports of poor or questionable quality and unfounded speculation drawn from in vitro studies and animal models, which many secondary and tertiary sources uncritically repeat. These speculative data often end up not 'holding water' when actually tested in well-designed clinical studies, of which there are far too few. Our team has established a new standard by approaching these issues from an integrative perspective rather than a 'pharmacocentric' one. We review adverse interactions and research beneficial interactions, evaluating potential risks as well as possible clinical benefits when nutrients and herbs are combined with conventional drug therapy. It has been an exciting journey, and one that continues, with this electronic version."

With half the U.S. population using herbs and nutritional supplements, InteractionsGuide(TM) is an essential tool for safe and effective care in contemporary medicine. This innovative database aids healthcare professionals in coordinating treatments by providing summary tables, a review of source, usage, dosing and safety information, therapeutic strategy considerations, in-depth evaluation of known and potential interactions, and instant access to original abstracts. Incorporating developments in pharmacology, nutrition, herbalism, biochemistry, genomics, oncology, hematology, naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, and other disciplines, InteractionsGuide(TM) provides a comprehensive and balanced overview and enables professionals to craft an integrative treatment plan, incorporate patient choices, and collaborate in providing care.

"Patients often feel confused and frustrated by conflicting recommendations from their healthcare providers, especially when it comes to combining conventional medications with herbs and nutrients," said clinician and author Mitchell Bebel Stargrove, ND, LAc. "We are seeing InteractionsGuide(TM) help doctors expand upon their training and methods and work together, resulting in the best possible outcome for each patient."

About MedicineWorks(TM):

MedicineWorks(TM), a division of Health Resources Unlimited, Inc., produces medical reference and health education tools for professionals and the public. InteractionsGuide(TM) builds on work begun twenty years ago with the development of IBIS: Integrative BodyMind Information System(TM), the pioneering multi-disciplinary electronic encyclopedia of nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy and other therapeutic approaches. As a leader in innovative electronic media and educational resources, MedicineWorks(TM) offers a growing suite of tools empowering individual choices for health and enabling professionals to provide the best that medicine has to offer.

Salesforce.com Launches Salesforce Chatter Developer Preview, Unleashing the Opportunity for Force.com Developers to Build Enterprise Social Apps

Chatter developer preview triggers paradigm shift for enterprise developers to innovate with the social capabilities made popular by consumer services like Facebook, Google, and Twitter With Chatter, developers will be able to instantly add social features like profiles, status updates, and real-time feeds to any Force.com app Chatter's breakthrough, real-time social capabilities extend Force.com's "five times faster" advantage over .NET and other software platforms

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15 -- Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), the enterprise cloud computing (http://www.salesforce.com/cloudcomputing/) company, today launched the developer preview for Salesforce Chatter (http://developer.force.com/chatter), providing a select group of developers with access to the new social capabilities of the Force.com platform. In addition, the company will unveil Chatter DevZone - a Chatter-powered community where developers can share ideas, collaborate on building new social enterprise apps, and be the first to see the latest social apps developed by their peers, all while experiencing the productivity benefits Chatter offers.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050216/SFW105LOGO)

In the past, building social enterprise apps was unthinkable for developers. The cost and complexity of writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code, feeds, profiles, notification logic, and layers of permissions and security stood as impenetrable barriers to innovation with social capabilities. But with Chatter, every Force.com app a developer builds has social capabilities that can be enabled with just a few clicks. For the first time ever, developers can leverage the real-time breakthroughs by consumer services from Facebook, Twitter, and Google and apply them to create compelling enterprise apps all at five times faster and for half the cost of building on traditional software platforms.

  Comments on the News
  --  "Developers have been asking, 'Why can't we build enterprise apps that
      are more like Facebook?'" said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO,
      salesforce.com. "With Chatter, they can. Developers can now add social
      capabilities like user profiles, status updates and real-time feeds to
      any Force.com app with just a few clicks."
  --  "Since deploying Chatter internally, salesforce.com has witnessed
      firsthand that real-time collaboration shatters traditional barriers
      to success," said Parker Harris, executive vice president of
      technology, salesforce.com. "We're launching the Chatter developer
      preview for our developer community so members can see what's possible
      with the collective creativity and imagination."
  --  "Companies are eager to innovate and create business apps that harness
      the power of today's real-time social features," said Denis Pombriant,
      founder and principal analyst, Beagle Research. "With the capabilities
      of the Chatter application and Force.com platform, companies, for the
      first time, can quickly and easily create social apps for the
      enterprise."

  Salesforce Chatter Developer Preview -- The Conversation Starts Here

Since the launch of the Chatter private beta, the more than 230,000 Force.com developers have clamored for the opportunity to start building apps on the industry's first enterprise cloud computing platform with real-time social capabilities. In the developer preview, 5,000 select developers will receive a Chatter-enabled development environment to begin building social apps on the platform. Combining social capabilities like feeds and profiles along with salesforce.com's secure, trusted sharing model of the Force.com platform make building enterprise social apps five times faster and half the cost of traditional software platforms.

Salesforce.com is also unveiling the Chatter DevZone, a community Chatter deployment in which all preview developers can collaborate to innovate. In the Chatter DevZone, developers can share inspiration, use apps built by peers, and collaborate with each other to discover what's possible with Chatter. Developers can not only build breakthrough apps of their own, but also leverage other custom apps that no one else has access to yet. They can be the first developer pioneers of Chatter and inspire the ecosystem to accelerate the marketplace for Chatter apps.

Once Chatter is generally available later this year, the nearly 150,000 custom apps built on Force.com can instantly become social. Chatter will include a rich set of pre-built components that developers can use to build apps that leverage the real-time social capabilities including:

  --  Profiles: Developers can add profiles to any app on Force.com to
      promote collaboration across the organization with a consistent
      experience and real-time data.
  --  Status Updates: With Chatter, developers will be able to add status
      updates to any custom app so users in other apps, or even the apps
      themselves, will be able to provide updates. With this capability,
      it's easy for employees to monitor real-time activity across multiple
      business processes like recruiting, materials or any app.
  --  Chatter Feeds: The social capability of Force.com makes it easy to
      monitor critical business systems or discussions with real-time feeds.
      Any custom app built on Force.com can leverage Chatter Feeds that
      employees can use to make important business decisions and proactively
      solve problems.
  --  Groups: Custom apps built natively on Force.com will be able to add
      the group functionality from the Chatter app. Business users will be
      able to self-organize into groups and share updates, files and feeds
      directly within those apps.
  --  Application Updates: For the first time, developers can innovate with
      apps that automatically alert employees of changes to the status of a
      case, order, or project. This feature enables any object built using
      the Force.com platform to send updates to Chatter Feeds and profiles.
  --  Content Sharing: Developers can innovate and include the ability to
      share content, like documents, spreadsheets and presentations directly
      within their custom app.
  --  Security and Sharing Model: Leveraging the same sophisticated security
      and sharing model they use to build any app on Force.com, developers
      can build apps that share information based on the permissions and
      groups that companies choose to configure.
  --  Social Networks: Developers can easily pull Facebook information using
      Force.com for Facebook developer toolkit into their custom apps or
      create new apps that run on salesforce.com's secure, trusted and
      global infrastructure. Similarly, companies and developers will be
      able to filter the most relevant Twitter feeds into their custom
      Force.com apps. The integration helps custom apps remain relevant with
      the real-time content from Twitter.
  --  Google Developer Toolkit: Google Docs are naturally social because
      they run in the cloud. The Force.com platform is tightly integrated
      with the Google Data APIs, empowering custom apps with the ability to
      do things like push data into a Google Spreadsheet or query a Google
      Calendar.
  --  Chatter APIs: The social capabilities of Force.com is enhanced with a
      bundle of powerful APIs for feeds, profile, updates, and other
      components so developers can create new social enterprise business
      apps with these APIs to pull data from any app, including those
      on-premise, to make their apps more social, sticky, and relevant.

  Pricing and Availability
  --  Salesforce Chatter is currently scheduled to be generally available in
      calendar year 2010. Customers who purchase salesforce.com technologies
      should make their purchase decisions based upon features that are
      currently available.
  --  Salesforce Chatter will be included in all paid editions of Salesforce

Surpassing last year's total of 17,000 attendees, the event brought together experienced game developers, publishers, deal makers, industry aspirants and working press for more than 400 lectures, panels, summits, tutorials and roundtable discussions.

Offering a full five days of content, the event also hosted a extensive Exposition floor, featuring the biggest firms in the games space alongside the Career Pavilion and associated Game Career Seminar, the 12th Annual Independent Games Festival, the 10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, Game Connection America, and more opportunities for networking, discussing business, sharing knowledge, and meeting with equally-devoted fellow developers.

Following the success of the show, organizers of the Game Developers Conference have announced that GDC 2011 will return to the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco from Monday, February 28 to Friday, March 4, 2011, with a call for lecture submissions to open this summer.  More information on that upcoming show and the other GDC events on the calendar - including GDC Canada, GDC Online, GDC Europe and GDC Austin - will be available at the GDC news page - http://www.gdconf.com/news.

Some of the highlights of this year's GDC in San Francisco include a keynote from the renowned creator of the genre-defining Civilization series, Sid Meier, entitled "The Psychology of Game Design (Everything You Know Is Wrong)."  Using examples from his illustrious career, the legendary developer discussed how player motivation is tied to gamer psychology and expectations, and described how developers can strike a delicate balance between fun and difficult gameplay.

GDC 2010 also played host to the 12th Annual Independent Games Festival and the 10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards.  Pocketwatch Games' stylish co-op caper, Monaco, proved to be the big winner at the 2010 IGF, bringing in the coveted $20,000 Seumas McNally Grand Prize for Best Independent Game, as well as the award for Excellence in Design.  At the Game Developers Choice Awards, which immediately followed the IGF, Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2 scored the record for most awards won at the prestigious event, taking home the prizes for Game of the Year, Best Writing, Best Visual Art, Best Technology and Best Audio.  During the awards ceremony, an announcement via video was delivered from White House CTO Aneesh Chopra addressing GDC attendees.  The video message announced the Apps for Healthy Kids contest, championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, encouraging developers to create tools and games meant to engender healthier eating and exercise habits among kids, and educate parents on their children's' diets.  The challenge offers $40,000 in cash prizes.

The show also offered intensive tutorials and a full lineup of summits focusing on emerging trends in the game industry.  They included the AI Summit, the GDC Mobile/Handheld Summit, GamesBeat@GDC, the IGDA Education Summit, the Independent Games Summit, the Game Localization Summit, the Serious Games Summit, and a pair of extremely successful inaugural summits, the iPhone Games Summit and the Social & Online Games Summit, all of which took place on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the week, March 9-10.

"Even through hailstorms and turbulent business times, the passion, experience and sheer dedication of the gaming community really showed through this week, to make for an incredible conference," said event director Meggan Scavio. "I'm proud to see the games industry reinvigorated by the new platforms, inspiring ideas and fresh business models showcased at GDC 2010, and I hope attendees take the lessons that they learned from the event to create tomorrow's amazing titles."

LAKE WORTH, Fla., March 15 -- Recently, Graphic Security Systems Corporation (GSSC) and Foster + Freeman (F+F) signed a License Agreement, which authorizes combined usage of F+F's software along with GSSC's SI Digital Decoding technology and IP, becoming an official licensee of GSSC. The software will be used to digitally authenticate VIP, VIPhoto and IPI in all major passports and ID documents worldwide.

Foster + Freeman, the leading maker of high resolution multi-spectral imaging devices, will offer GSSC's SI Digital Decoding software in its systems such as the "VSC 6000," a comprehensive digital imaging platform, which facilitates document examiners with an extensive range of utilities for detecting irregularities on altered and counterfeit documents. The VSC 6000 is equipped with a high-resolution color camera and zoom lens, in addition to a range of viewing filters and multiple illumination sources - from white light to UV and IR, of various wavelengths. Instrument functions are selected and controlled through a simple graphical user interface.

"We are always striving to collaborate with the key players in the security and authentication market, to offer our customers innovative solutions for their needs," explains Scott Perkins, GSSC Chief Operating Officer. "By implementing GSSC's SI Digital Decoding software, in combination with Foster + Freeman imaging devices, document examiners will be able to authenticate VIPhoto and other common security features in one step,". VIPhoto, which is part of the Scrambled Indicia technology portfolio, developed by Graphic Security Systems Corporation, allows invisible personalized data to be integrated or hidden into a facial photo or background in variable form, making identity documents extremely resistant to tampering or alteration. It is currently in use on multiple ID cards, driver's licenses and passports, worldwide.

We believe our strong results, nearly 49 percent growth in annual revenue and 52 percent in annual earnings, show that our strategy of developing both our marketing efforts and service offerings for our online educational programs as well as our vocational training programs has positioned us for a strong 2010."

Financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009

China Education Alliance reported total revenue of $10.41 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 13.5% compared to $9.18 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company's online education business generated 59.3% of its total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 70.3% for the same prior-year period. Its training center business generated 35.4% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 21.2% for the same prior-year period; its advertising business division generated the remaining 5.3% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 8.5% for the same prior-year period.

Online education revenue was $6.17 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, keeping at the same level as the fourth quarter of 2008, $6.45 million. Training center revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $3.69 million, up 89.7% from $1.94 million in the fourth quarter last year. The increase was due to new programs and courses added at all sites of the Company's training centers in Northeast China.

Advertising revenue was approximately $0.55 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, a decrease of 29.2% from $0.78 million in the fourth quarter last year. Advertising comprises only about 5% of total revenue.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $4.57 million, representing an increase of 24% over fourth quarter 2008 net income of $3.68 million. The increase was largely the result of strong development in the Company's and training center division. Diluted earnings per share was $0.15, compared with $0.14 in the same period last year.

Operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 increased to $4.61 million, from $3.87 million in the same period a year ago. Operating margin was 44.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Overall cost of sales decreased 19.3% to $1.63 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $2.02 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. Gross profit increased to $8.78 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 22.7% from $7.15 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2008. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was 84.3%, as compared to 77.9% for the same quarter a year ago.

The training center gross margin increased to 87.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 from 69.1% for the same period last year. Advertising gross margin was 93.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, little change from 93.7% in the fourth quarter of last year.

Selling expenses decreased 13.8% to approximately $2.16 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $2.50 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, due to decreased expenses in marketing and advertising. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were approximately $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase from $0.57 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to an increase in some non-cash expenses (stock-based compensation) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses at 17.5% increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 from 6.22% in the same period of last year.

     provided through its website, http://www.edu-chn.com/ . This website is
     a comprehensive education network platform that utilizes
     video-on-demand technology and houses a large database that includes
     more than 350,000 exams and test papers, as well as courseware for

     Heilongjiang-based, self-run vocational education market, which
     includes IT training and other professional training programs.

"We will continue to focus on expanding our online educational product offerings and vocational training services into more provinces of the rapidly developing Northeast region of China. We remain committed to our expansion goals in 2010, and will continue to pursue acquisitions and strategic partnerships that improve our outreach efforts and expand our brand.

Qualcomm and GreenRoad to Provide Industry's First Complete Mobile Resource Management and Driver Safety Solution

- Reduces Costs While Improving Productivity, Safety and Fuel Economy -

SAN DIEGO and REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 15 -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM), a leading provider of business-to-business wireless enterprise applications and services, and GreenRoad, a leader in driver safety and efficiency, today announced they have signed an agreement to offer the first integrated solution that addresses mobile resource management (MRM), safety and driving behavior.  The solution, intended for local service fleets, is a combination of Qualcomm's Service Fleet Manager and the GreenRoad 360(TM) service, enabling fleets to better manage their assets, gain greater fuel efficiency and improve safety.

The combined offering allows fleets to install a single in-vehicle hardware platform, use one data plan, and access best-of-breed fleet management and driving behavior improvement applications.  The integrated service offers fleets a unique opportunity to realize the benefits that come from a combined mobile resource management and technology-based driving behavior service, which requires less administration and can reduce cost by as much as 20 percent.  The combined service is available initially for commercial vehicle fleets in North America and the United Kingdom.

"Qualcomm and GreenRoad are recognized leaders in their respective fields," notes Clem Driscoll of C.J. Driscoll and Associates, a leading analyst in mobile resource management for fleets. "Their partnership will, for the first time, enable fleet operators to obtain a combined MRM and Driving Behavior Management solution from a single source. There is clear synergy in the integration of these solutions, which should result in significant improvements in fleet productivity as well as reductions in operating costs and losses due to accidents."

"Mobile resource management and driver safety are vital issues to every local service fleet," said Norman Ellis, vice president of sales, services and marketing at Qualcomm Enterprise Services.  "GreenRoad's unique driving behavior service offers a different dimension to our mobile resource management offering, enabling our customers to obtain more value from each of the two services.  We are proud to work with GreenRoad and offer the first combined mobile resource management and driving behavior service."

Qualcomm's Service Fleet Manager mobile resource management system uses GPS technology to give fleets visibility into their assets and provide an immediate snapshot of critical vehicle information through a Web-based interface.  It can help reduce overtime costs, boost revenue, cut fuel costs and improve customer satisfaction with enhanced scheduling and routing.

GreenRoad 360 provides the industry's first driving behavior improvement service with real-time, in-vehicle feedback and comprehensive visibility into those maneuvers that most affect safe driving, fuel efficiency and emissions. GreenRoad 360 combines live, individually tailored driver coaching with Web-based applications that continuously rate driving skills.  The in-vehicle feedback is delivered through a non-distracting LED display that enables drivers to identify and self-correct risky and inefficient driving maneuvers in the moment.  Fleet management and risk and safety professionals gain insight into driving behavior and have the tools they need to help drivers achieve measurable safety and fuel-efficiency goals while reducing operating costs.

"We are proud to work with Qualcomm Enterprise Services, which has a long history as an innovator and industry leader in MRM," said Dan Steere, CEO of GreenRoad.  "Qualcomm's Service Fleet Manager is the perfect complement to the GreenRoad service."

Microsoft Outlines New Opportunities at MIX10 for Developers to Create Compelling Experiences

Unveils end-to-end development platform with free tools for Windows Phone 7 Series and advances with Silverlight that will bring new applications, games and experiences to life.

LAS VEGAS, March 15 -- Today at MIX10, Microsoft Corp. showcased advancements in its platform technologies that enable the developer and designer community to deliver compelling user experiences across a broad set of devices. Building on the excitement of the recently announced Windows® Phone 7 Series, Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president, .NET Developer Platform, and Joe Belfiore, corporate vice president, Windows Phone Program Management, detailed the opportunity for developers to use proven technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight and the XNA Framework to build new mobile applications and 3-D Games.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

"As the browser, server, Web and devices evolve, a focus on delivering consistently great user experiences has become paramount," Guthrie said. "By extending our familiar platform technologies and tools to phones, Microsoft is delivering the premier application development experience across a variety of devices and form factors."

End-to-End Application Development Platform for Windows Phone 7 Series

During the keynote, Microsoft provided the first deep dive into Windows Phone 7 Series application development. By combining Silverlight features for rich application development and the XNA Framework for games, Windows Phone 7 Series empowers millions of developers and designers to build visually stunning and immersive applications and games -- one of the industry's most profitable mobile application categories -- while taking advantage of device-specific capabilities. Specifically, developers will be able to take advantage of the following features:

  --  Accelerometer, an intuitive control that responds to motion
  --  A Microsoft Location Service to provide developers with a single point
      of reference to acquire location information
  --  Microsoft Notification Service for pushing information to the phone,
      regardless of whether or not an application is running
  --  Hardware-accelerated video with digital rights management (DRM)
  --  Internet Information Services Smooth Streaming for the industry's
      highest quality content viewing experience
  --  Multitouch
  --  Camera and microphone support

"Windows Phone 7 Series brings together a rich application environment, powerful hardware, a fresh approach to software and a smart new design," Belfiore said. "It was designed to generate incredible opportunities for developers and designers to quickly and easily deliver compelling applications and games. With the best developer tools, an established ecosystem and marketplace, and a path for developers to use their Silverlight and XNA Framework skill sets, we are delivering an application platform that is simple, powerful and inspiring."

Free Tools for Windows Phone 7 Series Developers and Designers

To further support an end-to-end development experience, Microsoft announced the availability of comprehensive tools support for Windows Phone 7 Series. The easy-to-install package includes previews of the following:

  --  Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
  --  Windows Phone 7 Series add-in to use with Visual Studio 2010 RC
  --  XNA Game Studio 4.0
  --  Windows Phone 7 Series Emulator for application testing
  --  Expression Blend for Windows Phone Community Technology Preview
      (available as a separate download)

  A Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 Series Applications

Microsoft also showed how developers and designers will be able to bring applications and games to market with a new Windows Phone Marketplace. The Marketplace features a panoramic design and active merchandising to increase the discoverability of games and applications, and supports one-time credit card purchases, mobile operator billing and advertising-funded applications. The Marketplace will also enable customers to try applications before buying them and allow developers to cross-promote their applications through deep linking.

Several leading companies will be creating exciting applications and games for Windows Phone 7 Series. They include The Associated Press, Archetype International Inc., AWS Convergence Technologies - WeatherBug, Citrix Systems Inc., Clarity Consulting Inc., Cypress Consulting, EA Mobile, Fandango Inc., Foursquare Labs Inc., frog design inc., Glu Mobile Inc., Graphic.ly, Hudson Entertainment Inc., IdentityMine Inc., IMDb.com Inc., Larva Labs, Match.com LLC, Matchbox Mobile Ltd., Microsoft Game Studios, Namco Networks America Inc., Oberon Media Inc., Pageonce Inc., Pandora Media Inc., Photobucket Inc., PopCap Games Inc., Seesmic, Shazam Entertainment Ltd., Sling Media, SPB Software Inc., stimulant, TeleCommunications Systems Inc., Touchality LLC and Vertigo Software Inc.

Continued Innovation With Silverlight and Expression Blend

Microsoft announced a release candidate (RC) for Silverlight 4, available for download today, which builds on the beta version released at the Professional Developers Conference in November 2009. The Silverlight 4 RC provides powerful media and enterprise application and media capabilities, out-of-browser flexibility and world-class tools support via Visual Studio and Expression Blend with Sketchflow to enable robust application development and rich interactive experiences.

In addition, Microsoft unveiled the Expression Blend 4 Beta, a design and development workflow tool. New features such as Path Layout enable developers and designers to build and animate innovative user interface design via a groundbreaking visual layout mechanism, without the need to write code. Expression Blend 4 Beta also adds support for Silverlight 4, .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010.

Silverlight Customer Adoption

Silverlight adoption has continued at a rapid pace with installations approaching 60 percent of all Internet devices worldwide -- an increase of nearly 15 percentage points in just four months. Customers such as Major League Soccer, BBC, eBay Inc., Netflix Inc., NBCOlympics.com and CT Corp., a Wolters Kluwer business, demonstrated how they are taking advantage of the power of Silverlight to deliver compelling consumer and enterprise experiences.

"Microsoft Silverlight technology will be the backbone of the video platform on our newly launched MLSsoccer.com," said Chris Schlosser, director of digital strategy for Major League Soccer. "Our work with Microsoft allows us to launch cutting-edge digital and mobile experiences for our loyal fans. As part of our increased focus on digital media, we view a rich video experience as absolutely critical to accomplishing our goal of 'super serving' MLS supporters."

General Dynamics Itronix Launches New GDAssure(TM) Program that Certifies Customer Computer Systems Prior to Installation

- Program offers unprecedented level of assurance that new rugged computer systems will work successfully when deployed across the customer's enterprise -

SUNRISE, Fla., March 15 -- General Dynamics Itronix introduces the new GDAssure(TM) Solution Validation and Installation Certification Program that evaluates and certifies that a customer's rugged computer, software and peripherals operate as they are intended in a simulated day-to-day operating environment. The GDAssure program reduces the time and costs associated with a computer system that, once installed, fails to operate correctly.

The program assembles a team of engineers, system architects and others who test and evaluate various aspects of a system's configuration and performance. An analysis might include the evaluation of wireless accessories including printers, bar code scanners, GPS modules, operating software and mounting hardware for vehicle installations. Testing can also incorporate vibration, shock, drop, extreme operating temperatures and other tests based on a system's configuration and operating environment. The final analysis documents the components that worked as intended and those that need to be re-evaluated.

"This program is useful to a wide range of government, public safety, utilities, transportation and other organizations that expect their computer-based systems to successfully and efficiently operate across the enterprise, with minimal impact on their day-to-day operations," said Frank Romeo, solutions & services marketing manager for General Dynamics Itronix.

The GDAssure Solution Validation and Installation Certification Program is available as part of a sales contract and takes from 60 to 90 days to complete.

GDAssure Solution Validation and Installation Certification Program is part of the General Dynamics Itronix GDAssure Service portfolio that offers a variety of lifecycle, professional and managed services, including:

  --  Standard three-year warranties;
  --  Enhanced warranty programs;

Africa.com Launches Weekly Music Contest 'Africa.com TOP 20'

Former Goldman Sachs Exec Teresa Clarke Appeals to Global On-Line Music Audience

NEW YORK, March 15 -- The newly re-launched on-line portal to information about all 53 countries on the African continent, Africa.com, is appealing to a global music audience with its new weekly music contest, Africa.com TOP 20.  Africa.com's listeners vote for their favorite songs and send in new ones.  The results are posted every Monday at 12am EDT.

Said Africa.com Chairman and CEO, Teresa Clarke, "Our goal is to give a taste of home to African ex-pats as well as to give North and South Americans, Europeans and Asians the chance to hear Africa's heart beat just a little louder."

Each week, on-line disc jockey Chaka Ngwenya, born in Zimbabwe, provides the commentary as he counts down the top 20 songs selected by Africa.com's audience.  In a weekly blog, music journalist Prudence Chauke, born in South Africa, explains the background and musical influences of the artist whom listeners selected as number one.

In its premiere, Africa.com TOP 20 showcased greats like Salif Keita from Mali and Lucky Dube, a reggae musician from South Africa.  Although Yolela by Baaba Maal and Luciano was in the number one spot, on-line listeners had different tastes.  Their new number one is Thandiswa Mazwai with "Nizalwa Ngobani (Do You Know Where You Come From?)".

As Prudence Chauke explained, the listeners' choice is from Thandiswa Maswai's 2005 debut album "ZABALAZA" and it layers a string of questions in an attempt to remind the faces of Africa where they come from. The mid-tempo tune is infused by Thandiswa's soulful Xhosa (known as the "click" language) trademark singing, occasionally accompanied by a hint of English.  After shooting to fame as part of one of Southern Africa's most legendary groups, Bongo Maffin, Thandiswa has proven to be an important and enduring performer in the South African music scene.

About Africa.com :

Africa.com is a newly launched on-line portal for news, maps, videos, travel, investment and cultural information about all 53 countries on the African continent.  Africa.com 's Chairman and CEO, Teresa Clarke, was formerly a managing director with the global investment banking firm, Goldman Sachs.

Honeywell Announces New Thermal Management Materials for Portable Computing Devices

Builds On Technology Leadership in Thermal Management

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., March 15 -- Honeywell (NYSE:HON) Electronic Materials announced today a new printable thermal management material designed to help manage the tremendous heat produced by increasingly powerful semiconductors in portable computing devices such as laptops and netbooks.

Honeywell is a recognized leader in developing thermal management solutions that transfer and dissipate heat, and the new material, Honeywell PCM45M-SP, builds on Electronic Materials' existing line of thermal management materials. As semiconductors become more powerful and smaller, more heat is being generated in the confined spaces where semiconductors are packaged for end-use applications. This tremendous heat can damage the semiconductor or degrade its performance, and it can damage the device as well.

"Mobile computing devices such as laptops and netbooks are placing increased demands on thermal management materials to enable high performance and ensure a long lifespan," said Tim Chen, packaging leader for Honeywell Electronic Materials. "To meet that challenge, we have combined our industry leading phase-change chemistry with an innovative formulation specifically designed for these types of mobile devices."

In typical mobile computing applications, chip temperature rises steeply at start-up and remains high during operations. PCM45M-SP is designed to meet these specific thermal management requirements, delivering reliable power cycling performance where other thermal materials would typically fail.

PCM45M-SP can withstand more than 1,000 hours at 150 degrees C without degradation and more than 1,000 temperature cycles. The application is not limited to heat sink design, and the material may be applied to a component, heat sink or thermal spreader in any shape built into the printing screen. Additionally, the enhanced stability of this new material minimizes or eliminates the need for pre-mixing, conserving time and resources.

The PCM45M-SP phase change thermal interface consists of a sophisticated thermally conductive material with optimum filler size distribution to achieve maximum packing density compared with conventional phase change materials. PCM45M-SP changes phase at 45 degrees C to ensure maximum surface conformance.

Honeywell Electronic Materials, part of Honeywell Specialty Materials, supplies microelectronic polymers, electronic chemicals, and other advanced materials along with an extensive set of product offerings under its metals business segment, including physical vapor deposition (PVD) targets and coil sets, precious metal thermocouples, and materials used during back-end packaging processes for thermal management and electrical interconnect.

Honeywell Specialty Materials is a global leader in providing customers with high-performance specialty materials, including fluorine products; specialty films and additives; advanced fibers and composites; intermediates; specialty chemicals; electronic materials and chemicals; and technologies and materials for petroleum refining.

Honeywell International (http://www.honeywell.com) is a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell's shares are traded on the New York, London, and Chicago Stock Exchanges.

Small and Medium-Sized Business Options Are Focus of Verizon Global Wholesale Offers

Voice-Over-IP and Powerful Internet Access Packages Bolster Business Success In Rough Economic Times

NEW YORK, March 15 -- At a time when small and medium-sized businesses look for every technological advantage to help them continue as the fundamental economic growth engine in the U.S., Verizon is providing support with three new voice-over-IP and Internet packages available through the Verizon Global Wholesale division.

The offers are designed to respond to the rapid growth of voice-over-IP (VoIP) in the small and medium business realm and the resulting demand for powerful high-speed Internet connections. In addition, the offers support Verizon Global Wholesale customers' marketing efforts to small and medium sized businesses.

"By creating new VoIP and Internet packages that include both services and hardware, we're giving our wholesale customers new ways to support their small- and medium-sized business customers in a time when every nickel and every efficiency counts toward success," said Quintin Lew, senior vice president of marketing for Verizon Global Wholesale. "Our goal continues to be to arm our wholesale customers with the tools that help them to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed."

(For more information about the benefits Verizon Global Wholesale offers its wholesale customers who support the small and medium business market, click here (http://www.verizonbusiness.com/resources/media/index.xml?urlid0677).)

NEC IP PBX and SIP Gateway Solution

The first new package combines Verizon's SIP (session initiation protocol) Gateway Service with associated router hardware. SIP Gateway Service transports VoIP traffic between packet-based IP networks and the traditional telephone network, allowing Verizon Global Wholesale's customers to give small and medium-sized businesses a quick and easy way to get into the VoIP world.

In addition to providing access to Verizon's expansive IP local network and its telephone number inventory, wholesale customers can offer small and medium-sized businesses a new NEC UNIVERGE SV8100 IP PBX and its associated installation and maintenance bundle at a discount, simplifying the setup and lowering the cost of entry into the IP market. This enables small and medium-sized businesses to work with a single vendor, receive one bill, and gain access to a feature-rich VoIP solution that delivers cost reductions and the promise of increased productivity.

Both the SIP connection and the NEC UNIVERGE SV8100 PBX are priced at a discount with this new simple, feature-rich package. The service and hardware discounts expire on June 30.

Internet Dedicated T1 Package

The second new package, Internet Dedicated T1, also combines discounted service and hardware. It provides a high-capacity connection for 30 or more users and is designed for transmitting high-volume e-mail traffic, transferring large files, or hosting Web sites from virtually anywhere.

The package, based on T1 technology, combines 24 channels of broadband signal into a 1.544 megabit per second (Mbps) service, with customer equipment available to enable the service. Quality of service (QoS) assurance is offered as an option, at an additional cost. QoS is important for businesses that consolidate voice, video and key business applications onto a converged IP network.

The equipment offered in this package is either a Samsung Ubigate iBG 1000 for data-only applications or a model 1003 for data and voice services combined.  The discounts on service and equipment expire on March 31, 2011.

For small and medium-sized businesses with a larger appetite for Internet access, a third new promotional offer features Internet access with an Ethernet connection at either 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps.  This Internet Dedicated Ethernet service is discounted and bundled with a Samsung iBG1000 router, the cost of which is credited back over the initial year of service.

Targeted at businesses that intend to consolidate voice, video and key business applications onto a converged IP network, this offer delivers a single-vendor solution that end-user customers can leverage to fit their business model. The Ethernet service discount and the monthly credit offer for the cost of the router are scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.

"Small businesses need their carriers to go beyond a one-size-fits-all solution," Lew said. "These Internet offers cover the key speeds and features that growing small and medium-sized enterprises require to solve modern connection issues and engage the world in new and aggressive ways."
