Intel and NDS to Collaborate on Protected WiMAX-Based TV Multicast; First Proven End-to-End Pay-TV Solution over WiMAX

LONDON & STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NDS Group plc (Nasdaq: NNDS) (Euronext Brussels:NNDS):
Highlights:

-- WiMAX service providers can bundle TV and video with their fixed offerings

-- Intel deployed pre-WiMAX trial system in its Swedish Wireless Competence Center in Kista

-- WiMAX technology based on Intel silicon working with NDS's secure VideoGuard(R) conditional access

-- WiMAX service providers able to generate additional revenue from delivery of valuable content to their subscribers

Intel Corporation and NDS Group plc, the leading provider of technology solutions for digital pay-TV, have today announced a trial system to demonstrate the TV and video services for fixed WiMAX technology.

Using the WiMAX IEEE 802.16-2004 standard and the soon to be ratified IEEE 802.16e, Intel and NDS will also collaborate on industry and market development activities. The companies will engage in demonstrations to service providers and the industry to show how WiMAX can offer more than broadband access with pay-TV services.

The pre-WiMAX implementation takes place at Intel's Wireless Competence Center (IWCC) in Kista, Sweden and demonstrates the first system to show WiMAX TV services including live TV, VOD and integrated electronic program guide (EPG) delivery to an Intel(R) Centrino(R) mobile technology based notebook over 802.16-2004 and 802.11. The current demonstration uses fixed pre-WiMAX equipment to deliver content to the customer premises equipment (CPE) and then WiFi to send content to the notebook. Companies intend to enhance the system to support 802.16e standard in the future and to make sure that security requirements protect the interests of content providers in an aim to demonstrate pay TV services delivery over mobile WiMAX to Intel based PDA and notebook devices.

NDS VideoGuard(R) conditional access protects the business and content of the service provider and:-

-- Prevents the valuable TV channel offering from being received by subscribers who have not paid for it.

-- Protects content delivery efficiently using content entitlements, authorizations and tier packaging.

-- Enables content purchasing scenarios (e.g. Pay-Per-View)

-- Supports Video-On-Demand by enabling secure content purchasing, protecting content delivery sessions, and enabling content business scenarios like DRM.

Hecla First Quarter 2006 Earnings Top $38 Million; 115% Increase in Gross Profit, 21% Decrease in Silver Cash Production Costs, 51% Increase in Gold Production; For the Period Ended March 31, 2006

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) today reported first quarter net income of $38.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.03 per share, during the same period of 2005. Hecla's gross profit more than doubled from the same period a year ago, the average total cash cost per ounce of silver production decreased 21% and gold production increased 51% over the first quarter of 2005. First quarter net income is primarily attributable to a gain of $35.6 million, net of income taxes, on the sale of a stock investment and increased gross profit due to rising metals prices. Excluding the gain on sale of investments, Hecla's net income totaled $2.8 million, or $0.02 per common share, an improvement of $6.1 million over the first quarter of 2005.
Hecla's diversity of operations continues to deliver low-cost production and less risk. From its U.S.-based mines, Hecla continues to have extremely low silver production costs with first quarter production of 1.2 million ounces at an average total cash cost per ounce of $2.05. As a result, Hecla's estimated total average cash cost for silver in 2006 has been reduced to $2.25 per ounce. Gold production in the first quarter was over 42,000 ounces at an average total cash cost per ounce of $357, with a total average cash cost for the year expected in the range of $350-$375 per ounce of gold.

The price of silver averaged $9.69 per ounce, with an average realized price of gold of $558 per ounce during the first quarter. Hecla's President and Chief Executive Officer, Phillips S. Baker, Jr., said, "This is the start of a great year. We continue to be on track to show further operational improvements, and precious and base metals prices are now above those experienced during the first quarter and all of last year. The price of silver is in the range to really show profits while at the same time allowing significant investments in the future through exploration. Our mines are easily supplying the cash flow we need to fund this effort. Our exploration work on the Hugh Zone silver discovery in Mexico is getting more exciting as each exploration dollar is spent, and we're making good progress on the Hollister Development Block gold project, increasing the resource at Lucky Friday, further delineating the new West Gallagher zone at Greens Creek, and Venezuelan exploration is advancing targets at both La Camorra and Block B. Truly, Hecla has low-risk exploration potential as yet unrecognized by the market, as well as tremendously undervalued properties at these increased metals prices. Those factors, along with what we believe is a precious metals bull market with some legs on it, bodes well for our stock price."

FIRST QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS

-- Gross profit of $11.7 million, a 115% increase from the first quarter a year ago

-- Revenues of $39.8 million, a 63% increase from the first quarter a year ago

-- 1.2 million ounces of silver produced at an average total cash cost of $2.05 per ounce, a 21% decrease in production costs compared to the same period of 2005

-- 42,419 ounces of gold produced, a 51% quarter-on-quarter production increase, including production of 37,620 ounces from Venezuela at an average total cash cost of $357 per ounce

-- A 25% decrease in estimated silver total average cash cost for 2006 to $2.25 per ounce; estimate for total average cash cost per ounce of gold increased to a range of $350-$375

-- 38% increase in average silver price and 30% increase in average realized gold price compared to the first quarter 2005

-- The La Camorra mine reached its one-millionth ounce of production

-- Shares of Alamos Gold Inc. sold in January, generated a $35.6 million gain, net of income taxes, and $57 million in cash

-- Continued focus on exploration and pre-development, with increasing optimism toward the West Gallagher at Greens Creek in Alaska, the Hugh Zone discovery in Mexico and positive exploration drilling below the current resource at Lucky Friday in Idaho

Unisys CEO Urges New Definition of Security to Meet Changing Privacy, Identity and Risk Management Concerns; In Keynote at World Congress on IT, McGrath Emphasizes Importance of Visibility to Secure Business Operations

AUSTIN, Texas, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The term "security" must be redefined and expanded to encompass the new global realities of colliding economic, political and consumer forces that demand more accountability from businesses and governments, said Joseph W. McGrath, president and CEO of Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS), in his keynote address here today at the 15th World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT 2006).
From port security concerns to bird flu risks to large scale identity thefts and cyber breaches, individuals, businesses and governments think differently today about what security and safety mean. McGrath stressed that as a result, companies and governments need more visibility into their operations to better plan ahead and more effectively manage risk, both for their customers and constituents.

"Seeing today is the path to securing tomorrow," said McGrath. "Security--in a new world--is not merely about what can go wrong but what needs to go right. Organizations today operate on a slender thread, delicately striking a balance between security as defense and protection, and security as confidence and trust."

McGrath discussed how the private and public sector must work together to improve security worldwide. He stressed that success demands a framework--a blueprint--to identify, track and trace, and protect people, goods, and information and IT systems. It demands technologies old and new, all connected through a clear digital blueprint.

"That slender thread can unravel or break at a moment's notice," McGrath said. "To achieve success, you must be more secure not only in a physical sense, you also need to be more confident. This means an organization has to be visible--not merely preventing problems but also inspiring confidence in the marketplace."

Unisys expands on these views in its publication of "Your New World: A Visual Guide to Secure Business Operations," which offers advice for businesses and governments to meet the new security demands of a global economy. The book discusses the importance for an organization to be a leader trusted by all its customers and stakeholders, with the visibility needed to read patterns in effective ways to help satisfy marketplace needs today and tomorrow.

In addition to his keynote at WCIT, McGrath participated in a panel of government and private sector experts who further explored this new security paradigm. The panel discussed the visibility and collaboration needed in identity authentication, which is often at the heart of most security initiatives.

Unisys also presented policy proposals to WCIT delegates on the need for standards around procedures and practices in global identity authentication. In developing its proposals, Unisys conducted primary global research to study consumers' views on privacy and security issues. The research reveals that a majority of individuals worldwide would share personal data if they knew the end user will securely protect their information and they can perceive a clear benefit in convenience gained. For a summary of the survey results, see http://www.unisys.com/services/security/security__program.htm

Biogen Idec to Expand Oncology Pipeline with Acquisition of Conforma Therapeutics

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & SAN DIEGO, May 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Conforma Therapeutics Corporation, a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on the design and development of novel drugs for the treatment of cancer, today announced that they have signed a definitive merger agreement for the acquisition of Conforma by Biogen Idec.
Conforma, founded in 1999, is focused on the discovery and development of drugs that inhibit heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) molecules, which are involved in protecting and supporting the growth of cancer cells across a range of tumor types, and which also play a role in tumor resistance to a number of leading cancer therapies. The company has advanced two compounds into Phase I clinical trials: CNF1010, a proprietary form of the geldanamycin derivative 17-AAG; and CNF2024, a totally synthetic, orally bioavailable HSP90 inhibitor.

"Global leadership in oncology -- from discovery to development to commercialization -- is a major strategic objective for Biogen Idec," said James C. Mullen, Biogen Idec's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Conforma's platforms in the promising area of HSP90 antagonists provide significant opportunities to develop drugs for a range of solid tumors. Through this transaction, Biogen Idec will also broaden our therapeutic opportunities in the cancer field while adding Conforma's talented scientific team to our oncology group."

"Biogen Idec is a premier biotechnology organization that has pioneered important medical advances in areas of high unmet need. Working together will better enable the development of our innovative therapeutics and will open opportunities for further application of our technology platforms," said Lawrence C. Fritz, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Conforma. "Biogen Idec's global resources and commitment to advancing breakthrough therapies make them an ideal partner for us and we look forward to joining them."

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006. Upon completion, Biogen Idec will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Conforma for $150 million, payable at closing, and up to an additional $100 million upon the achievement of certain development milestones. The transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, is subject to approval by the stockholders of Conforma and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Montgomery & Co., LLC was the exclusive financial advisor to Conforma in connection with this transaction.

Following the transaction's close, Conforma's operations and employees will be integrated into Biogen Idec's San Diego campus, the company's oncology center of excellence. Conforma's North American and European rights to Amrubicin, an anthracycline anticancer drug that Conforma had licensed from Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd., will be transferred out of Conforma into a new start-up specialty pharmaceuticals company, Cabrellis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, prior to the close of this transaction.

Conforma's Technology Platform: Inhibiting HSP90 Chaperones

Cancer occurs when certain signaling proteins, such as kinases and nuclear receptors, mutate or become over expressed. Recent discoveries in cell biology have demonstrated that many of these key signaling proteins require the action of a family of molecular "chaperones" known as the HSP90 chaperone family in order to be properly folded and thus maintain activity. Drugs that bind to HSP90 chaperones may induce these critical signaling proteins to degrade, leading to tumor cell death. Conforma's drug candidates specifically bind to activated forms of HSP90 and thus attack tumor cells, sparing normal tissues.

In addition to its lead products, Conforma has developed a diverse library of compounds that affect the HSP90 family of molecular chaperones and have the potential to lead to the development of other treatments.

About Conforma Therapeutics

Conforma Therapeutics, a San Diego-based biopharmaceutical company, is focused on the design and development of novel drugs for the treatment of cancer. Conforma's internal discovery efforts have been focused on drugs that target the cellular HSP90 family of molecular "chaperones" that control protein shape or conformation, including that of key signaling molecules involved in the growth and survival of tumor cells. Further information regarding Conforma is available at www.conformacorp.com.

About Biogen Idec

Biogen Idec creates new standards of care in oncology, neurology and immunology. As a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of novel therapies, Biogen Idec transforms scientific discoveries into advances in human healthcare.

Let's Get Ready to Roomba

By Will Swarts
May 3, 2006
iRobot (IRBT1)


Share price as of Tuesday's close: $23.55
Share price now: $25.49
Percent change: 8.2%
Volume: 417,400 million shares, daily average 152,300

The News
Wall Street was swept off its feet by iRobot's (IRBT2) first-quarter financial results.

The Burlington, Mass.-based maker of the Roomba3 robotic vacuum posted a net loss of $2.9 million, or 12 cents a share, an improvement from the $4.1 million, or 42 cents a share, in red ink recorded a year ago. Analysts were looking for a loss of 17 cents a share. Sales surged 123% year-over-year to $38.2 million, trumping the Street's projection of $31.1 million. Buyers hoovered up shares of iRobot to the tune of an 8% gain on Wednesday.

Continuing demand for iRobot's Roomba and a pickup in military orders for PackBot4, a bomb-disposal robot in use in Afghanistan and Iraq, aided the top line. The stock is now back above its November initial-public-offering price of $24 but well shy of the January peak near $38 that was fueled by a strong holiday selling season. Investor enthusiasm was tempered during the first quarter by the shaky debut of the Scooba5 floor washer. Scooba and its $399 price tag failed to sway consumers, and some retailers had to offer discounts to move inventory.

But Paul Coster, an analyst at J.P. Morgan, credited iRobot with righting itself quickly and providing the revenue surprise. "First-quarter results were better than we expected owing to robust initial sell-in of Scooba," he wrote in a research note published Tuesday. "We may have been overly cautious regarding initial Scooba sales and consumer seasonality in the first quarter." IRobot doesn't break out sales by product.

In a conference call late Tuesday after quarterly results were released, management labeled as a "rogue retailer" the first chain to slash prices on Scooba, an automated floor cleaner about the size of a medium deep-dish pizza. IRobot said it's no longer allowing that retailer to stock Scoobas. Since the initial rollout, Best Buy (BBY6) and Home Depot (HD7) haven't placed re-orders, according to Coster. IRobot stepped up direct sales of its top-of-the-line products and plans to introduce a less expensive version of Scooba that will sell for $299. Roombas sell for between $150 and $300, depending on the range of software features used in different models of the automated vacuum cleaners.

"I will admit Scooba's birthing has been eventful," said Colin Angle, co-founder and chief executive of iRobot, during the conference call. The CEO reaffirmed guidance issued in February, saying he expected 2006 sales of between $177 million and $192 million. Earnings could hit a penny a share, much lower than last year's profit of 11 cents, due to expanding marketing and research expenses. Wall Street analysts project earnings of 34 cents a share for 2007.

Angle also pointed to improved margins, saying profits on sales increased 7.6 percentage points from the same period last year.

The Analysis
While iRobot's consumer business, which accounts for as much as 70% of its sales, is prone to seasonal swings, its military business, which picks up the balance, provides stability, says Brian Gesuale, an analyst with Raymond James & Associates.

About 400 PackBots are now being used by the military, Gesuale says, and a recent $26 million order from the U.S. Navy to build another 213 units gives the company some momentum. The twin caterpillar-tracked PackBots, which cost as much as $115,000 apiece, are used in bomb disposal, mine clearing and other "dangerous, dirty or dull" tasks, according to both the company and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which leads the Department of Defense's initiative to put robots on the battlefield.

"Missions, for example, surveillance and reconnaissance, that are long and repetitive may be better accomplished by a machine that never gets tired or bored and doesn't need a break," says Jan Walker, a spokesman for DARPA. "In the future, the Army, for example, envisions using unmanned systems for reconnaissance, to deploy sensors, to carry weapons, equipment and supplies, locate threats, act as a communications relay, assess battle damage assessment, detect mines, detect chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear contamination, and provide security, early warnings, and target acquisition and designation."

Gesuale says the current backlog of 250 military machines represents almost $33 million in sales. "That's nearly 100% visibility on the government side of the business," he says. "This helps because the consumer side follows a heavy seasonal pattern, during the holiday season in the fourth quarter and also around Mother's Day."

J.P. Morgan's Coster suspects iRobot is sticking with its current forecasts because of the seasonal sales shift on its consumer side, and wrote that the seasonal slowdown will likely shift to the second quarter. Consumer sales will hit $134 million this year, he wrote, and climb to $164 million in 2007. Military revenues should hit $32 million this year and grow to $43 million next year.

The company is also expanding into Europe, Korea and Japan. That may be a bigger boon than expected since robots are more widely accepted in Asian markets. Yi Guo, a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology's Robotics and Automation Laboratory in Hoboken, N.J., says consumers in Japan are particularly keen customers for a wider range of uses.

"In Japan, there's a big trend for entertainment and service robots," Guo says. "There's a trend toward humanoid robots for entertainment. Some can even mimic human actions, like dancing. In the U.S., I think the trend is more for service robots like the Roomba."

IRobot management also addressed a major concern for analysts: The some 18.7 million shares owned by company executives and the venture-capital firms that invested in iRobot before the IPO. The lockup period for those shares expires on May 20. A potential selloff could pressure the stock price.

"The executive team has no plan to sell stock any time soon," Gesuale says. "The second takeaway is that the VC community will ultimately liquidate, but will do in an orderly fashion."

The Bottom Line
In its civilian business iRobot makes gadgets, so it could be subject to fickle consumer tastes. But Gesuale thinks it's in solid shape regardless.

"There's a convenience and aging of America theme here," he says. "A lot of senior citizens don't want to leave their homes when they get older, but can't spend lots of time pushing around a vacuum cleaner."

The increased marketing expenses for the Scooba launch will subside, he adds, though overall advertising will be stepped up for the critical fourth quarter. The new military order and an increase in contract R&D revenue — government money for new robotics projects including a small unmanned vehicle — will also help.

"It's a nice diversified end-market play," he says. "You're basically riding the robot-adoption theme into two diversified end markets. It's hard to gauge the timing and size of these [government] awards, but they've been very good and have come in above expectations. And on the consumer side, they've got a great brand."

If Gesuale's confidence in the company proves accurate, then iRobot shares won't be gathering dust for long.

The company reports that FQ3 sales of approximately $1.2 million represents a gain of 262% over last year's third quarter and a 42% gain over the second fiscal quarter of this year. Preliminary results are unaudited and subject to review.

Leif Pedersen stated, "As the new president and CEO of SmarTire, I am extremely encouraged by these sales results for the third fiscal quarter. They clearly demonstrate that our company is continuing to achieve solid top-line performance on both an annual and sequential basis. In addition, with the increased acceptance of tire pressure monitoring in the global marketplace as a result of the Tread Act and higher oil prices, I am confident that SmarTire can significantly accelerate this sales growth.

W2 Energy Inc., a developer of Green Energy, is pleased to announce it will file its financials under a Form 10 and begin regular reporting. Upon filing of the financials W2 Energy will make application to the AMEX for listing. Mr. Michael McLaren CEO states, ''We have finished with the restructuring of the company and are satisfied that we can move ahead with a strong foundation and a clear focus to execute our business plan to the fullest.'' He also stated, ''We all look forward to listing on the AMEX building shareholder value, market capital and executing strategic acquisitions that will complement our already impressive portfolio of technologies, patents and commercial applications.''











eGene Inc. (OTCBB: EGEI - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=EGEI.OB )

eGene Inc., developers of rapid DNA analyzers, announced that its HDA-GT12(TM) Genetic Analyzer shows compatibility of detecting the influenza A virus, commonly known as the avian flu virus. The automatic analysis process is less than six minutes. The company has demonstrated that its system platform can handle 12 RT-PCR amplified virus samples in six minutes, or at a sample analysis rate of two samples per minute.

As an acute respiratory infection, rapid detection of the influenza A virus is important. "The virus naturally infects humans and other mammalian species such as swine, horse and avian species," said Dr. Ming Liu, acting CEO of the company. "The concerns of a human outbreak of the avian influenza virus have raised significant concerns. Our system can rapidly detect whether we are dealing with an ordinary flu strain or the more serious avian strain. Furthermore, genetic analysis is one of the effective ways to determine whether the virus has mutated to a point where it is dangerous to humans. The need to perform this analysis rapidly cannot be understated in today's world where an airplane ride can transmit a virus thousands of miles in a short period of time."

The HDA-GT12 system uses a consumable multi-channel cartridge that can be used to detect multiple influenza samples simultaneously. The cartridge is engaged to eGene's system and can automatically inject and analyze 12 DNA samples at the same time for results available in six minutes, or for 96 samples from a PCR plate for results available in 50 minutes -- less than an hour.

"This automated and affordable system can be easily operated for avian influenza virus detection," said Dr. Liu.

He noted that eGene recently tested its system utilizing the reagents from In-Vitro Diagnostic FluAVision kits provided by DNA Technology A/S (Denmark). Positive control of influenza A from the testing kit was used for amplification and analyzed with the eGene HDA-GT12 system.

Previously, eGene explained that its analyzer, if placed in airports and other ports of entry throughout the world, can be used to determine if the flu virus is present in the DNA samples of travelers entering -- or leaving -- a given locale.

"The fact that our compact, low-cost, automated digital genetic analysis system platform can do the detection and analysis work in a short time means that should a flu pandemic break out, our system could easily detect and notify officials of a virus carrier who may not be exhibiting physical symptoms of the flu. This is very important, because with illnesses like the flu, the virus is already present and multiplying even in the absence of physical symptoms," explained Dr. Liu. "This could potentially stop the spread of the flu."

eGene currently sells its HDA-GT12 system in more than 100 hospitals and research centers worldwide, and is looking to expand U.S. distribution.

The HDA-GT12(TM) Genetic Analyzer analyzes the genetic fingerprints of living organisms through the microsatellites AFLP and RFLP. It performs fast DNA sample screening and high-resolution DNA fragment analysis (2-5bp). The system also analyzes the quality and quantity of total RNA and cRNA, determines the efficiency of cRNA and cDNA amplification reactions and ensures quality of fragmented cRNA. The company sells cartridges that are specific to the type of analysis to be performed. All data is then received in digital form for appropriate transmission and storage.

Applied Materials buys coating firm: IT WILL PAY $464 MILLION TO ENTER SOLAR MARKET

May 05, 2006 (San Jose Mercury News - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Edging its way into the hot market for solar technology, semiconductor-equipment maker Applied Materials agreed to buy Applied Films on Thursday for $464 million.
Applied Films, based in Longmont, Colo., makes equipment that deposits thin layers of molecules on devices. The equipment is used to make flat-panel displays, solar cells, flexible electronics and coated, energy-efficient glass.

Under the deal, Santa Clara-based Applied Materials will pay $28.50 a share in cash. Since Applied Films has $161 million in its own coffers, the net purchase price is $303 million. Applied Materials will assume Applied Films' stock options and other equity awards.

Mike Splinter, chief executive of Applied Materials, the world's biggest maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, said in an interview that the deal allows the bigger company to expand its display business and expand into solar.

"Did you check your energy bill this week?" Splinter said. "The cost of energy and fossil fuels is an increasing concern. Technology is coming into play that will reduce its cost."

The equipment made by Applied Films, dubbed physical vapor deposition equipment, can be used in factories such as the one that San Jose-based SunPower has in the Philippines to make solar cells. Customers use the SunPower solar cells, which are now made out of the same silicon material used to make semiconductor chips, on rooftops to gather energy from the sun.

Applied Films, however, allows solar cells to be made out of glass, which isn't in as short a supply as silicon these days, Splinter said. Applied Films can help lower the production costs of solar cells, one of the big obstacles so far in solar adoption, he said.

Solar is about 12 percent of Applied Films' business, which is mostly built on flat-panel equipment. In the third fiscal quarter ended April 1, Applied Films reported revenues of $62 million, up 38 percent from a year earlier. The company lost $800,000, compared with a profit of $2.9 million a year earlier.

Jesse Pichel, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, said that the move gives Applied Materials a chance to participate in the fast-growing market for solar cell manufacturing. He said the market is relatively small now, but he anticipated it could grow to billions of dollars over time as solar cells take more of the energy market.

"This allows them to get into solar cell factories where they have never had a position before," Pichel said.

He noted that Applied Films has a new tool that is in use in factories owned by Q-Cell in Germany, and that tool will enable the companies to double their production. Applied Films has more than 700 employees, most of them in Germany. Splinter said the company expects to grow the division over time.

The deal is the biggest acquisition by Applied Materials since it bought Etec Systems in 2000 for $1.8 billion.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Freundlich - Schwache Arbeitsmarktdaten stützen
Die US-Börsen werden am Freitag zu Handelsbeginn freundlich erwartet. Unerwartet schwache Arbeitsmarktdaten hätten die Hoffnung auf ein baldiges Ende des Zyklus von Leitzinserhöhungen aufflammen lassen, hieß es am Markt.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> stieg gegen 14.50 Uhr um 5,00 Punkte auf 1.322,00 Zähler. Am Donnerstag hatte der S&P 500 0,34 Prozent auf 1.312,25 Zähler zugelegt. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> gewann 10,75 Punkte auf 1.720,50 Zähler. Am Vortag war der Auswahlindex um 0,87 Prozent auf 1.701,03 Punkte gestiegen.

Die Zahl der Beschäftigten außerhalb der Landwirtschaft ist im April nicht so stark gestiegen wie von Experten erwartet. Die Zahl ist zum Vormonat um 138.000 geklettert. Von MarketWatch befragte Volkswirte hatten mit einem Plus von 199.000 gerechnet. Die durchschnittlichen Stundenlöhne im April sind stärker als erwartet um 0,5 Prozent gestiegen. Von MarketWatch befragte Volkswirte hatten im Durchschnitt mit einem Plus von 0,3 Prozent gerechnet. Die Arbeitslosenquote in den USA ist im April wie erwartet bei 4,7 Prozent verharrt.

Aktien von Microsoft <MSFT.NAS> <MSF.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) präsentierten sich im vorbörslichen Handel etwas fester. Microsoft greift für den Angriff auf Suchmaschinen-Marktführer Google <GOOG.NAS> <GGQ1.ETR> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) noch tiefer in die Tasche. Die Ausgaben für das Online-Anzeigengeschäft, das MSN-Portal und neue Suchtechnologien werden in dem im Juli startenden Geschäftsjahr um 60 Prozent auf 1,6 Milliarden Dollar aufgestockt, kündigte Microsoft-Chef Steve Ballmer am Donnerstag (Ortszeit) an. Davon gehen allein 1,1 Milliarden Dollar in Forschung und Entwicklung.

Activision <ATVI.NAS> <AZT.ETR> (Nachrichten) waren vorbörslich auch gefragt. Der Spielehersteller ist im vierten Quartal des Geschäftsjahres zwar in die Verlustzone gerutscht. Das Ergebnis fiel jedoch besser aus als am Markt befürchtet. Zudem bestätigte Activision trotz abgesenkter Prognosen für das laufende Quartal seine Erwartungen für das Gesamtjahr.

Die Spekulation um mögliche Zukäufe von Warren Buffet bewegten ebenfalls die Kurse. So verzeichneten PG & E <PCG.NYS> vorbörslich Kurszuwächse. Der Versorger könnte ein mögliches Übernahmeziel für den Finanzinvestor Warren Buffet und dessen Unternehmen Berkshire Hathaway <BRK.B.NYS> <BRK.A.NYS> <BRY.FSE> <BRH.FSE> (Nachrichten) sein, berichtete das "Wall Street Journal" unter Berufung auf einen Vorbericht zur Hautpversammlung von Berkshire.

NowAuto Inc. (Pink Sheets: NWAU - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NWAU.PK )

NowAuto Inc. announced that wholly owned subsidiary Navicom GPS will be exhibiting at Booths #606-608. Navicom will be demonstrating the company's state-of-the-art digital network and GPS product line that launched earlier this year. Navicom encourages anyone interested in learning more about the benefits of tracking technology to visit the Navicom booths.

Parent company NowAuto Inc. announced earnings will be released on Wednesday, May 10th from the NABD Conference. The company also announces it has returned to profitability and will release an update later next week.

NABD is the perfect fit, with attendees ranging from financial institutions who fund this sector to dealer software management companies and BHPH dealerships nationwide, among other prospects in the marketplace.

Navicom has built their own backend hardware and software offering GPS like no other, customizing and integrating applications for specific facets of any business. Attendees need to educate themselves to the current market environment, identify new sourcing alternatives, and utilize technology to work smarter in order to navigate safely, meaning less loss of inventory and more profitability.

What about the escalating cost of fuel? How does this all pertain to GPS technology and how big is the potential for GPS?

-- Global GPS/Telemetric sales are on-track to exceed $16 billion by the year ending 2006.

-- The consumer automobile GPS/Telemetric sector is experiencing exponential growth also; studies show an increase in internal efficiencies and customer service in sectors where companies have adopted GPS/Telemetric systems, a largely untapped market.

-- The insurance and security industries have increasingly embraced the idea of embedded GPS/Telemetric systems to fight theft, damage, and fraudulent claims.

-- Growth rate for the market is expected to be near 25 percent through 2007 and increase beginning in 2008 as the next wave of GPS/Telemetric technology is made available via new satellite launches.

-- More than 25 million commercial vehicles and 5 million truck trailers are on the roads in North America. This is a clear indication of the tremendous market potential for commercial vehicle GPS/Telemetric systems.

-- Tangible benefits, such as increased productivity, reduced costs, and enhanced safety and security - which ultimately lead to greater customer satisfaction - are likely to make it difficult for fleet operators to ignore Telemetric.

-- Nearly 32 percent of trucks and about 25 percent of truck trailers are anticipated to be equipped with Telemetric systems by the end of 2012.

-- The revenue from both hardware and services in the long-haul, local fleet, and trailer-use segments alone is likely to breach the $6.5 billion mark in 2012.

-- Only 9 percent of the overall market is utilizing the benefits of this cutting-edge technology, leaving more than 90 percent potential market penetration.

-- This data affirms that the commercial and consumer GPS/Telemetric industries are in their early stages of growth - similar to that of the wireless phone industry in the early 1990s.








Dover Petroleum Corp (Pink Sheets: DVPC - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DVPC.PK )

Dover Petroleum Corp announced an increase in gross production from eight of its eleven coalbed methane wells in the Slater Dome field (the "Slater Dome Prospect") from an initial average daily rate of 254 MCF ("thousand cubic feet") per day in June 2005 (pipeline connection date) to 542 MCF per day in January 2006. Overall, Slaterdome's ownership amounts to a networking and operating rights interest of approximately 33.3% in the Slater Dome Area. The Company has received between $5.17 and $13.07 per MCF for its production from the Slater Dome Prospect. The company reported that the gross production has increased from 4,007 MCF (approximately 1,335 MCF to our interest) in June 2005, our first month of production, to 11,629 MCF (approximately 3,875 MCF to our interest) in January 2006 an increase of 190%.

We anticipate further increases to production as our wells dewater and as the producing wells are electrified. Currently, we are using some of our gas produced (approximately 175 MCF per day) to run the production equipment, which decreases the amount of gas available for sale. We anticipate that the current wells in the southern area of the prospect will have electricity by the end of February 2006, which will release more gas for revenue sales. We have one well in the northern area of the prospect that is awaiting a pipeline connection and one well in the southern area awaiting a completion rig.

The Slater Dome Prospect is located geographically in the southern end of the "Atlantic Rim" geologic feature where there are a number of successful coalbed methane projects currently being operated by Double Eagle Petroleum Co, Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Warren Petroleum, Kodiak Oil and Gas Corp, New Frontier Energy and others.

Dover's wholly owned subsidiary, Slaterdome, Inc., and Slaterdome's partners, Cedar Ridge, LLC and New Frontier Energy, Inc., together own the working and operating rights interest in certain oil and gas leases covering approximately 34,398 gross acres in northwest Colorado and southwest Wyoming (the "Slater Dome Area"). Our acreage increased from 32,631 through purchase of additional land at 2 Federal Land Sales. The Company and its exploration partners currently have nine gas wells and one water transfer well at the Slater Dome Prospect. All of the wells have provided indications of the presence of natural gas. As we dewater the coals, we will be able to assess the productivity and economics of each well.

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., May 8, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) today announced that small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are increasingly taking advantage of Oracle(R) Database 10g Standard Edition One (Oracle Standard Edition One), the company's full-featured, enterprise-class database priced and packaged to meet the specific needs of the SMB market. The American Osteopathic Information Association, enetrix and Great Dane Trailers are among many organizations worldwide benefiting from the power and value of Oracle Standard Edition One.
SMBs across diverse industries, running on their operating system of choice, including Linux and Windows, are taking advantage of Oracle Standard Edition One's fast installation and automated management, which helps significantly decrease the cost and complexity required to deploy and maintain database applications. Oracle Standard Edition One also includes Oracle Application Express, an intuitive browser-based development tool for developing and deploying secure Web applications. It's proving ideal for consolidating disparate desktop database and spreadsheet applications, and deploying them as Web-based database applications that are secured and managed as part of Oracle Standard Edition One.

American Osteopathic Information Association Increases Access to Information

Headquartered in Chicago, Ill., the American Osteopathic Information Association (AOIA) is a professional association supporting more than 56,000 osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) in the United States. The AOIA uses Oracle Standard Edition One as the back end for its Web portal, DO-Online.org, which was launched in June 2005. With Oracle technology, AOIA was able to increase the value of its Web site by providing members with secure access to important information and online communities based on criteria in each user's individual profile. Using Oracle Standard Edition One and Oracle Application Express on Linux, AOIA cost-effectively consolidated its applications into a single database, which reduced redundant administrative tasks.

"In making software decisions for our new portal, we evaluated several databases," said Michael J. Zarski, JD, executive director, AOIA. "We chose Oracle because of its stability and flexibility on the Linux platform. Plus, we save thousands of dollars each year in administrative costs, and it allows us to provide our users an up-to-date, easy to use information service."

enetrix Offers Hosted eCommerce Solutions

enetrix is a leading provider of Enterprise Feedback Management and eCommerce solutions that help clients to identify and meet employee, customer and partner needs; improve profits and customer satisfaction; and enhance eCommerce capabilities.

Great Dane Trailers Keeps Orders Running Smoothly

Headquartered in Savannah, Ga. and Chicago, Ill., Great Dane Trailers is the leading manufacturer of dry van, refrigerated and platform trailers and has been in business for over 100 years. Faced with an obsolete order management system, Great Dane sought a Web-based sales system that could provide secure access to order information, including configuration data, pricing and availability of options for each product. With Oracle Standard Edition One running on Windows, sales representatives can easily generate such detailed information anywhere, anytime. Using the J2EE-based sales tool, customers' requirements can then be translated into an order by selecting appropriate options available at the manufacturing level. Oracle's robust database expedites this process and increases plant productivity.

"In making software decisions, security and reliability were the utmost concerns, but a manageable learning curve was also a significant factor," said Joe Dyer, manager of business technology and integration, Great Dane Trailers. "We chose Oracle Standard Edition One for its advanced features and because it offers us the opportunity to work more effectively with customers from every angle."

The lease and option to purchase agreement is considered timely due to the potential of high-grade gold production at the Bromide Basin Mines in the Henry Mountain Mining District in Garfield County, Utah.

"The Bromide Basin Mine has always been viewed as an important acquisition for Unico and its shareholders, but with the price of gold topping $650 per ounce, the fact that Bromide Basin is a true 'gold play' further emphasizes its importance for Unico," said Mark A. Lopez, chief executive officer of Unico, Inc. "By extending the lease and purchase option well beyond its original expiration date, Unico now has an ideal and unique opportunity in our portfolio of properties to capitalize on skyrocketing metals prices."

The purchase option exercise price is $835,000.00 for all specified mining claims, mill sites and dumps being leased. If all terms of the agreement are met, Bromide Basin Mining Company will have the right to extend the term of the lease and option to purchase agreement for an additional year, through October 31, 2007, by giving Kaibab Industries notice by September 30, 2006. As consideration for this third revised lease agreement, the company has also agreed to pay in advance the sum of $5,000 per month and pay Kaibab Industries a five percent net smelter return upon all ore taken from the leased premises each month, to the extent that the amount for any month exceed the $5,000 monthly base rent.

The Bromide Basin Mining Company has paid to Kaibab Industries $63,591.62 for past due lease payments, taxes and mine fees on the previous mining lease agreement, which expired on November 1, 2005. The company has also paid $125,785.20 to Kaibab Industries as payment-in-full for the original equipment purchase agreement dated April 1, 2003 and promissory note for certain mining equipment associated with the original lease agreement.

"We are pleased to have another supportive business partner in Kaibab Industries, which granted Unico additional time to secure the financing necessary to maintain the Bromide Basin lease. With this lease secure, Unico will seek to initiate mining activities at this property as well as the ongoing work currently underway at the Deer Trail Mine," added Mr. Lopez.

Making Radio Waves

By Will Swarts
May 8, 2006
Emmis Communications (EMMS1)


Share price as of Friday's close: $13.43
Share price now: $16.25
Percent change: 21.0%
Volume: 8.7 million shares, daily average 571,000

The News
When a prominent radio executive decides it's time to tune out the public markets, investors listen.

Shares of Emmis Communications (EMMS2) rose 21% Monday after CEO Jeff Smulyan offered to take the struggling Indianapolis-based radio broadcaster private at $15.25 a share. The $567 million management-led buyout bid represents a nearly 14% premium to Friday's closing price. Emmis's stock had lost almost a third of its value since the beginning of the year.

Smulyan should have the cash available to make good on the offer now that he came up short in his attempt to purchase the Washington Nationals. Another bidder landed the baseball team last week. Smulyan, the former owner of the Seattle Mariners, already owns 16.9% of Emmis's shares. In a statement, Smulyan said he would improve the company's financial strength by refinancing $936 million worth of debt and preferred stock.

Emmis also announced that it's continuing its withdrawal from television by selling WKCF-TV in Orlando, Fla., to Hearst-Argyle Television for $217.5 million. It'll keep its half interest in "The Daily Buzz," a syndicated weekday news program produced in the WKCF studios, and continue to own the station's building. (Hearst Corp. is a co-owner of SmartMoney.com.)

Emmis still owns stations in Honolulu and New Orleans, but has been pulling back from that business over the past year. Fourteen other stations have been sold since the middle of 2005, says Joseph Bonner, an analyst at Argus Research, an independent investment research firm in New York. The bulk of the company's $387 million in fiscal 2006 revenues came from its 26 U.S. radio stations and other broadcasting operations in Eastern Europe. An ambitious share buyback last August, in which about 40% of the public shares were taken off the market at a $395 million price tag, hurt the bottom line last year, says Fred Moran, an analyst at the Stanford Group, an equity research firm in Houston.

Radio revenues will drop 1.6% to $295 million this year, according to a research note issued by Moran on Monday. There's little joy on the horizon, either. His models project annual radio revenue growth of just 1% for fiscal 2008 and 2009, with overall growth of 1.5% driven by 3% revenue gains in Emmis's modest magazine publishing business.

A radical makeover appears necessary as traditional radio faces stiff competition from satellite broadcasters such as Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI3) and XM Satellite Radio (XMSR4). Even though Sirius and XM have seen their shares suffer of late, Bonner says the market assigns better growth prospects to satellite-radio broadcasters than terrestrial ones.

The Analysis
Monday's market reaction has been two-pronged. First, the thinking is that it's about time something happened to shake up the stock. Second, many on Wall Street are encouraging investors to sell today, at the likely top of the market, since there's little chance things will get any better for Emmis any time soon.

"The Emmis tender offer reflects the frustration that management has had with their lagging stock price," says Moran. "We think it's a positive effort toward recognizing the troubles of radio, but does not offset the fact that radio remains under competitive pressure. We would suggest investors take the money, given that a multiple of 15 [times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda] reflects more than fair value for a radio asset at a time when radio's fundamentals are pressured."

With terrestrial radio revenues essentially flat in 2005, even that deal looks unappealing to Anthony DiClemente, an analyst with Lehman Brothers.

"In our opinion, Emmis does not make an attractive leveraged buyout (LBO) candidate at this premium valuation as there is little room for margin improvement, given its radio Ebitda margins are currently around 36%," DiClemente wrote in a research note published Monday. "In addition, at the current proposed takeout multiple in the low teens, we estimate that an LBO [internal rate of return] would only approximate 5% to 10%, assuming that radio market multiples stay flat over the next five years. As a result, we do not believe the possibility for private buyouts provides enough rationale to step in and buy radio stocks at current levels, and would recommend investors sell into today's strength."

Bonner says it might be more realistic to see the management bid as an extension of last August's share buyback, which drove prices up above $24 a share at the very peak.

"Management's view of radio's future is much more optimistic than Wall Street's — perhaps that is why Emmis shares have performed so poorly over the past year," according to Bonner. "While sharpening a company's focus on a core business is often positive, it also increases risk by concentrating on one industry. We are not as sanguine as management about the prospects of radio. Emmis has, however, managed average rate increases of about 6.4% over the last two years in radio."

That's not enough for Moran, who adds that investors were also relieved that Smulyan whiffed on the company's pursuit of the increasingly struggling Nationals franchise.

"If Emmis had bought a share of the Nationals, it could only have overhung the stock as a concern, because it would have further indebted Emmis without providing any positive cash-flow contribution. Most investors were uncomfortable with the pursuit of the Nationals franchise."

The Bottom Line
Emmis may be the first midsize radio company to take itself out of the publicly traded game, but it certainly won't be the last. For that reason alone it's not wise to hope for a third-party bidder to come along and push up Smulyan's bid.

Smulyan, who owns 66.7% of super-voting stock in addition to his 17% stake of common shares, "will not agree to any other transaction involving Emmis," according to the company's statement. That dims any prospect of a competing offer, says Moran, who also believes that the special committee voting on the management buyout won't kick in another $1 a share to help the deal along.

"Sell Emmis into the overreaction to the buyout offer, because we're sour on the sweetener," according to Moran.

Investors determined to speculate on radio would do better by far to keep their eyes on Entercom Communications (ETM5), which has completed a $100 million share buyback and has a more favorable balance of debt and cash. Cox Radio (CXR6), the publicly traded terrestrial radio unit of privately held Cox Communications, has low debt and has a corporate parent that could bring the company off the market "in the blink of an eye," says Moran.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Knapp behauptet erwartet
Die Aktien an der New Yorker Börse werden am Dienstag laut Händlern knapp behauptet in den Handel gehen. Die enttäuschende Dell-Prognose dürfte auf die Stimmung drücken. Für Zurückhaltung werde auch der für Mittwoch anstehende US-Zinsentscheid sorgen. Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> fiel um 0,10 Punkte auf 1.327,10 Zähler. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> verlor 1,25 Punkte auf 1.720,00 Zähler.

Dell-Aktien <DELL.NAS> <DLCA.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) brachen vorbörslich um 8,06 Prozent auf 24,30 US-Dollar ein. Am Vorabend hatte der US-Computerhersteller seine Gewinnprognose gesenkt. Wie das Unternehmen am Montag nach US-Börsenschluss mitteilte, rechnet es nun für das erste Geschäftsquartal mit einem Gewinn pro Aktie (EPS) nach dem US-Bilanzierungsstandard GAAP von 33 US-Cent. Zuvor hatte Dell den Anlegern 36 bis 38 Cent in Aussicht gestellt. Eine Vielzahl von Analysten schraubten daraufhin ihr Kursziel für Dell herunter.

Aktien des US-Autobauers General Motors (GM) <GM.NYS> <GMC.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) legten vorbörslich 3,69 Prozent auf 24,42 US-Dollar zu.

Der weltgrößte Autohersteller hatte zuvor im April für den Januar-März-Abschnitt auf vorläufiger Basis einen Verlust ausgewiesen. Zudem stufte die Deutsche Bank den Titel auf "Hold" herauf.

McDonald's <MCD.NYS> <MDO.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) legten vorbörslich etwas zu. Die Schnellimbißkette hat den Umsatz im April weltweit um 6,25 Prozent auf vergleichbarer Basis gesteigert. Das Wachstum im amerikanischen Heimatmarkt lag bei 4,1 Prozent, in Europa bei 9,3 Prozent.

Am Montag hatte der Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) <INDU.IND> 0,06 Prozent auf 11.584,54 Punkte gewonnen. Er verharrte damit auf dem am Freitag erklommenen höchsten Niveau seit April 2000.

OMNI Reports Strong 1st Quarter Results 1st Quarter Results Top Wall Street Estimates Revenues Increase 40%; Net Income More Than Doubles; EBITDA Surges Over 55%

CARENCRO, La., May 11, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- OMNI ENERGY SERVICES CORP. (Nasdaq: OMNI) announced today that its 2006 first quarter net income was more than double the amount of net income from continuing operations reported by the Company during the comparable 2005 quarter and almost 50% higher than Wall Street estimates.
On revenues of $18.5 million, OMNI reported net income of $2.3 million ($0.11 per diluted share on approximately 21.6 million fully diluted shares) for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Wall Street had estimated OMNI's 2006 first quarter net income from continuing operations would total $1.5 million ($0.09 per diluted share on fewer fully diluted shares -- approximately 16.1 million). The 2006 first quarter results include a charge of approximately $0.1 million attributable to the recent implementation of FASB 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Payments. Additionally, the 2006 first quarter's results included the operations of the Company's recent acquisition of Preheat, Inc. since the effective date of that acquisition -- February 10, 2006. If the results of Preheat, Inc. were included for the entire 2006 first quarter, the Company's pro forma net income would have been approximately $2.8 million on pro forma revenues of $21.3 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for discontinued operations and other income or expense ("Adjusted EBITDA"), for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was $4.6 million, more than 55% greater than the $2.9 million reported for the comparable 2005 period. Including the results of Preheat, Inc. for the entire first quarter of 2006, the Company's pro forma Adjusted EBITDA would have approximated $5.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided herein to assist investors to better understand the Company's financial performance. See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA on the last page of this press release including a discussion of why the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.

After preferred stock dividends and related charges of $0.2 million, OMNI's net income to common stockholders and pro forma net income to common stockholders was $2.1 million ($0.10 per diluted share) and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The Company previously reported net income from continuing operations of $0.9 million ($0.08 per diluted share) and net income of $0.2 million ($0.02 per diluted share) on revenues of $13.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2005. No preferred stock dividends were paid in the 2005 first quarter.

Commenting on the first quarter results, James C. Eckert, OMNI's Chief Executive Officer said, "The first quarter was a solid start to what promises to be a busy and exciting 2006. This trend appears to be continuing into the second quarter. With the 2005 sale of the aviation transportation segment, our management team has been able to return their focus on the growth and profitability of our core business segments and completion of the acquisition of Preheat, Inc. As a result, we reported improved margins and increased profitability on higher revenues, increased asset utilization and improved operating efficiencies for the first quarter of 2006. We are now focused on integrating the operations of Preheat with our other core business units, continued profit maximization and strategic growth within each of these business segments. Utilization of our equipment and personnel remains very high and all market indicators lead us to believe, at this time, that these utilization levels are expected to continue throughout 2006. Revenues from all three divisions are at or above record levels. Seismic drilling backlog remains strong and early indications are that this strong demand for our seismic services will continue well into, and possibly throughout, the 2007 year. Our Trussco and Preheat units are adding sizeable top line revenues and enhanced operating margins. We believe remaining focused on the execution of our strategic business plan will continue to result in improved profitability, reduction of bank debt and increased shareholder value. I am optimistic we can leverage these improved operating levels into significant performance for this year."

Headquartered in Carencro, LA, OMNI Energy Services Corp. offers a broad range of integrated services to geophysical companies engaged in the acquisition of on-shore seismic data and to oil and gas companies operating primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. The company provides its services through three business divisions: Seismic Drilling (including drilling, survey and permitting services), Environmental Services and Equipment Leasing. OMNI's services play a significant role with geophysical companies who have operations in marsh, swamp, shallow water and the U.S. Gulf Coast also called transition zones and contiguous dry land areas also called highland zones.

Movie Gallery Quiets Critics

By Will Swarts
May 11, 2006
Movie Gallery (MOVI1)


Share price as of Wednesday's close: $3.16
Share price now: $4.78
Percent change: 51.3%
Volume: 39.6 million shares, daily average 2.6 million

The News
Movie Gallery (MOVI2) garnered rave reviews from Wall Street on Thursday. Quieting critics who said the home-video industry was tired, trite and played out, the No. 2 DVD rental company announced unexpectedly strong first-quarter financial results. Movie Gallery's stock went up 51%.

The Dothan, Ala., parent of the Movie Gallery and Hollywood Video chains finally saw its cost-cutting measures take hold. First-quarter earnings came in at $1.27 a share on sales of $694 million. The company earned 58 cents a share on sales of $234 million during the same period last year. Wall Street analysts expected a quarterly profit of 15 cents a share on sales of $644 million. Total same-store sales fell 6.5%.

The numbers couldn't have been better timed. A preview note from Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter published Monday called the start of the year a "make or break quarter" for the company, which like larger rival Blockbuster (BBI3) must contend with constant pressure from mail-based rivals such as Netflix (NFLX4) and video-on-demand services from cable companies. Movie Gallery's store operating expenses as a percentage of revenue fell to 45.2% during the first quarter from 46.4% a year ago; general and administrative expenses slipped to 6.4% from 6.7%.

But Arvind Bhatia, an analyst with Sterne Agee & Leach, a Birmingham, Ala.-based investment bank, pointed out the past few quarters have been wildly inconsistent.

"You had a company that was looking to try to improve their results for quite a while," Bhatia says. "This was a cost-saving thing, and they finally kind of hit their stride this last quarter."

The Analysis
As much as the market may applaud the performance, the effect of cost cutting, coupled with Movie Gallery's lack of guidance since completing its purchase of Hollywood Video last April, left plenty of short-sellers selling with two thumbs down as they were caught in a classic short squeeze.

Scanty information, a string of three losing quarters and conventional wisdom that sees dimming prospects for bricks-and-mortar rental operations prompted heavy betting against Movie Gallery. Short sellers borrow stock in hopes it will drop in value, allowing them to resell it at its original price and pocket the difference. About 16 million shares, nearly 60% of the public float, were held short as of April 10.

That means the breakout quarter prompted speedy unwinding of short positions as bears tried to cut their losses. It's an accelerating cycle that drives prices up in a hurry and often ebbs a bit after the initial frenzy of activity.

The earnings spike may not sustain its momentum — this is still a tough business — but Movie Gallery management was upbeat on its conference call. The company may close some stores and is working on subleasing within individual outlets to "educe the overall footprint of its store base by returning under-utilized portions to landlords and negotiating subleases where economically feasible," according to a written statement.

Chief Executive Joe Malugen didn't offer further guidance for the next couple of quarters, but he noted that an improved current and future lineup of video releases should boost the top line. "Saw II," "Chicken Little" and "King Kong" are among the more promising titles.

"While some other options have grown in recent years, home video rental remains the most popular movie option by far in the industry," Malugen said Thursday in a conference call with analysts and investors. "We do not expect that to change."

The Bottom Line
Movie Gallery appears to be the big beneficiary of a consolidating industry, and it looks like it's gotten a handle on integrating former rival Hollywood Video into its corporate structure. That prompted Malugen to say, when asked directly, that Movie Gallery "would be very receptive" to a possible deal with Blockbuster, whose shares climbed 6% in sympathy in midday trading.

"We certainly believe that further consolidation is warranted and desirable," the CEO told analysts.

If Movie Gallery is on track to demonstrate consistent results after bombing on its last few quarters and has managed to get its cost structure back in line, it may reverse its yearlong stock slide5. Shares remain a tough comparison with Blockbuster, which has rebounded in 2006, and Netflix, which has seen its share price more than double over the past 52 weeks.

The earnings surprise, which sank short sellers but cheered Wall Street with the potential for better things to come, combined with a potential merger could turn Movie Gallery into a summer blockbuster.

Federated Investors, Inc. to Acquire $7.1 Billion MDT Advisers, a Leading Quantitative Equity Manager * Cambridge, Mass.-based Firm Known For Strong Equity Performance in a Variety of Disciplines to Become Federated Center of Excellence * MDT Recogni

PITTSBURGH, May 12, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Federated Investors, Inc. (NYSE: FII), one of the nation's largest investment managers, today reached a definitive agreement to acquire the business operations of Cambridge, Mass.- based MDT Advisers, a division of MDTA LLC, at a purchase price of up to $240 million. MDT Advisers is the advisor to approximately $6.8 billion in separately managed account portfolios and institutional accounts and approximately $300 million in mutual funds that use MDT's proprietary quantitative investment process. J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer of Federated and Gordon J. Ceresino, president and chief executive officer of MDT, announced the agreement today.
The sale is expected to close in July 2006. MDT is an industry leader in quantitative investment techniques, having developed a disciplined quantitative process to invest in equities. The objective of the process for each of MDT's 10 investment strategies is to exploit multiple market inefficiencies in order to outperform the appropriate benchmark with moderate relative risk. The investment employees who have been responsible for the development and disciplined execution of MDT's proprietary quantitative equity investment process over the past 14 years will remain with the firm in Cambridge and continue to manage portfolios as a center of excellence for Federated.

"Combining the proven investment acumen of MDT's team and process with Federated's distribution muscle will give our firm a powerful new growth opportunity," Donahue said. "The MDT mutual fund portfolios will significantly enhance Federated's product offerings by creating a quantitative line of equity mutual funds to complement the 39 equity mutual funds that use Federated's proprietary investment process that blends quantitative and fundamental research."

The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of Federated Investors, Inc. and shareholders of MDTA LLC. The transaction includes initial purchase payments of approximately $110 million, the majority of which will be paid at closing, and a series of contingent payments totaling as much as $130 million over the next three years based on growth.

"MDT's relentlessly disciplined approach to investing employs a rigorous quantitative process, which has provided investors with consistent investment performance over the last 14 years," Ceresino said. "We opted to collaborate with Federated, not only because of their longstanding reputation in the industry and distribution strength, but also because they share our core business values by focusing on long-term investors."

MDT's flagship strategy, All Cap Core, has existed since 1991 in a separately managed account format and as a mutual fund since October 2002. MDT All Cap Core Fund (Institutional Shares) has an Overall 5-star Morningstar Rating among the 1,472 large-blend funds in Morningstar's Large-Blend Category for the period ending April 30, 2006. MDT Balanced Fund (Institutional Shares) typically holds 60 to 80 percent equities with the remainder in bonds. It has an Overall 5-star Morningstar Rating among the 818 funds in Morningstar's Moderate Allocation Category for the period ending April 30, 2006. MDT Balanced Fund uses the same proprietary quantitative process as the All Cap Core fund for its domestic equity allocation and adds a well- diversified mix of high-quality bonds to the fund in order to provide investors with both stability and income.

In addition to the MDT All Cap Core Fund and MDT Balanced Fund, MDT's other newer offerings include: MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund; MDT Large Cap Growth Fund; MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund; MDT Small Cap Core Fund; MDT Small Cap Growth Fund; MDT Small Cap Value Fund; and MDT Short-Term Bond Fund. Upon the closing of the transaction, Federated expects to introduce the MDT mutual funds to its clients. Federated has cultivated deep and diversified relationships with 5,500 client firms including banks, broker/dealers, bank broker/dealers, corporations, government entities, insurance companies, foundations and endowments. Federated's 170 sales professionals make thousands of client visits each year, calling on financial professionals and major institutions across the United States and in Europe.

As a result of strong investment performance in many investment categories, MDT's products have begun to attract institutional investors who typically use a separate account format. In particular, MDT's style-specific strategies, which include three small-cap products with strong performance since their inception, have stimulated institutional interest.

"With the combination of Federated's broad-based sales force and MDT's separately managed account sales experts, we will be able to introduce the Federated MDT portfolios managed by Federated's new quantitative center of excellence, MDT Advisers, to the banks, brokers and institutions that constitute Federated's sizeable distribution network," said Thomas E. Territ, president, Federated Securities Corp.

The completion of the mutual fund transaction is subject to approval of the MDTA Mutual Fund Board and Federated Mutual Fund Board of Directors/ Trustees, as well as shareholders in the nine MDT mutual funds. MDT mutual fund shareholders will be asked to approve a reorganization of the funds that will efficiently integrate their funds into the Federated complex and allow for the creation of Federated MDT funds.

As is typical in this type of transaction, MDT will obtain consent from its separate account clients to continue to permit MDT to manage their assets after the closing. Based on current asset levels, when these separate account and mutual fund transactions are completed, Federated would manage approximately $38.7 billion in equity assets, an increase of 22 percent from $31.6 billion at March 31, 2006.

At the closing of the transaction, Federated would own approximately 90 percent of the outstanding equity interests of MDTA LLC with the right to acquire the remaining 10 percent by June 30, 2007.

GHL Technologies, Inc. (OTC: GHLT-http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GHLT.PK)

Closed up 2% yesterday. after the close they announced today that it has signed a non-exclusive, third-party vendor agreement with Trimble Navigation, Ltd. (NASDAQ: TRMB) to provide nationwide sales, installation and maintenance for Trimble\'s line of Mobile Solutions GPS/telematics products.

Under the terms of the agreement, Trimble has outsourced the nationwide installation and maintenance of its GPS systems in commercial vehicles, in part, to EVI and has indicated that it will refer as much installation business as EVI can assume. EVI will contract directly with Trimble\'s customers to provide installation and maintenance services and also may provide direct sales of additional Trimble products.

EVI also reported this morning that through its new relationship with Trimble, it is currently providing GPS installation and maintenance services to one of the world\'s leading telecommunications companies. This account alone is projected to represent substantial revenue for EVI over the next few years and calls for EVI to install and service GPS systems in the client\'s fleet vehicles nationwide.

Altogether, EVI estimates that the installation, sale and maintenance of Trimble\'s Mobile Solutions line will represent multi-million-dollar revenues for the company over the next several years. Moreover, the non-exclusive nature of the agreement allows EVI to pursue similar relationships with other national and international GPS/telematics manufacturers.

"EVI installers have been training with Trimble for the past several months to provide optimum installation services for Trimble\'s GPS customers," said Gene Hew-Len, CEO of GHL Technologies and a 25-year veteran of the mobile electronics and GPS/telematics industry. "EVI\'s new relationship with Trimble, a world-class leader in commercial telematics applications and GPS technology, will help our company continue to solidify its position as a leading installer of GPS products and allows our company to benefit from Trimble\'s diverse product base."

Trimble\'s mobile solutions segment addresses numerous fleet management needs. The company\'s market strategy targets opportunities in specific vertical markets where it believes it can provide unique value to the end user by customizing the hardware and software solution for a particular industry.

Trimble\'s horizontal market strategy focuses on providing turnkey solutions to a broad range of service fleets and mobile workers across a large number of market segments, leveraging the same general applications that are used in its vertical markets without the same level of customization. These products are distributed through individual dealers as well as after-market automotive electronics suppliers, and EVI will be able to sell, install and distribute these products as well.

According to numerous industry sources, global GPS and telematics sales are expected to exceed $16 billion by the end of this year, with the demand for real-time track and trace applications growing exponentially as companies continue to improve customer service standards. The GPS/telematics marketplace is expected to grow at a rate of nearly 25 percent through 2007 and more rapidly beginning in 2008 as the next wave of GPS/telematics technology is made available via new satellite launches.

GHL Technologies continues to aggressively engage its resources to identify and establish strategic partnerships with companies on the cutting edge of GPS/telematics technological development as well as complete acquisitions that are consistent with its business model.








On The Go Technologies Group (OTCBB: OGHC -http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=OGHC.OB).

Closed up 1% yesterday. Last week they announced that sales for 2006 Q3 period have topped $10 Million for the first time in the Company\'s history. This represents an increase of over 20% from the previous quarter.

The record sales figure puts OTG over the $25 Million mark in revenue at this point, and on track to exceed $30 Million in sales for the year end July 31, 2006. The jump in revenue is due to the Company\'s acquisition of medical sector VAR Island Corporation and digital entertainment reseller Solutions in Computing last quarter, as well as the collective organic growth of the Company\'s other sales and service divisions.

"This is a great achievement for the Company as we move toward profitability. The people who truly made this possible, our sales and service team members, are to be commended," stated OTG\'s CEO Stuart Turk. "This quarter, coupled with the past two periods, puts us on track for our strongest year yet."








Ocean West Holding Corporation (OTCBBWHC-http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=OWHC.OB)

Closed down 1% yesterday after announcing to shareholders last week in an investor conference call held Monday May 8, 2006, and projects revenue generation as a result of its previously announced distribution agreements, driven principally by the Rogers Wireless license agreement, of between $650,000 per month to as high as $1,250,000 per month by year end 2006. AskMeNow expects to reach approximately one million subscribers by year-end as direct result of its nationwide marketing program in the US and a co-opted nationwide marketing program in Canada with Rogers Wireless, which currently serves over 6mm mobile subscribers in Canada as the leading cellular carrier.

With an anticipated subscriber adoption of just 25% of such projected one million subscribers, asking questions at a rate of 6-8 per month, AskMeNow believes they have set their expectations conservatively considering they anticipate sales from games, ringtones, and concierge services to be substantially accretive to the $0.75 Canadian fee charged for every question asked by customers in Canada.

"Considering we are preparing to launch in India in the coming months, as well as officially launching our proposed new improved product with the Intelligate software in the United States by 4th quarter 2006, we are hoping we can reach near term profitability by year end or first quarter of 2007, said Darryl Cohen, CEO. "As we begin to generate customer activity, I believe we will be in a position to provide other carriers around the world with an overwhelming validation of our technology and financial model. This will help to propel deals that should increase our revenue substantially," Cohen said.

ANALYSE: Commerzbank sieht den DAX zur Jahresmitte bei 6.300 Punkten
Die Commerzbank (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) sieht den DAX <DAX.ETR> zur Jahresmitte bei 6.300 Punkten. Zum Jahresende dürfte der Leitindex dann bei 5.850 Zählern stehen, hieß es in einer Studie vom Donnerstag. Die Initialzündung für die jüngsten Kursverluste sei von US-Konjunkturdaten ausgegangen.

"Die Bären sehen gegenwärtig nur Gründe für weitere Zinserhöhungen", sagte Analyst Ralf Goenemeyer. Dabei sei die Inflation nicht wirklich ein Problem. Eine weitere Erhöhung der Leitzinsen auf die erwarteten 5,25 Prozent oder gar darüber hinaus sei zwar durchaus möglich. Die US-Notenbank werde bei ihrer Entscheidung jedoch die Zukunft bewerten, und hier sei mit einer sinkenden Kernrate der Inflation zu rechnen. Eine Notwendigkeit für automatische Anhebungen gebe es demnach nicht.

Die Aktienmärkte bleiben nach Ansicht von Goenemeyer attraktiv. So habe die überwiegende Mehrheit der Unternehmen im DAX und MDAX <MDAX.ETR> ihre Zielvorgaben für 2006 bestätigt oder gar angehoben. Vor dem Wochenende und dem Verfallstermin sei ein positiver Stimmungsumschwung der Anleger jedoch unwahrscheinlich./ag/fat

Zacks Top Simulator Player Interview features Sierra Health Services, Titanium Metals Corporation, Frontier Oil Corporation, Pacific Ethanol, Inc. and UnitedHealth Group

CHICAGO, May 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks.com introduces its Second Quarter Challenge top player interviews, which feature insights from the leaders of the Zacks Simulator game. The Simulator allows investors to prove their stock picking abilities by competing directly against other players for prizes worth thousands of the dollars.


This week Zacks introduces another top Simulator player, Hamilton Lewis II (aka: Cycles), who is in ninth place in the Second Quarter Zacks Stock Challenge with an overall return of approximately 32%. Hamilton's Simulator portfolio holdings include Sierra Health Services Inc. (NYSE:SIE), Titanium Metals Corporation (NYSE:TIE), Frontier Oil Corporation (NYSE:FTO), Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEIX) and UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH)



Highlights from the May 17 interview include:

How does he play the market?

The successful stock picker's investment style consists of a "floating capitalization" approach that includes the principles of cycles, inter-market and industry analysis. In other words, Hamilton does not discriminate between large-caps, small caps or mid-caps. Rather, this market watcher zeroes in on cycles, industry trends and market activity.

He also pays attention to what the charts are saying. Hamilton likes to combine price and volume trends with supply and demand analysis. He believes this methodology allows him to find stocks that should outperform the broader markets.


Hamilton's Simulator portfolio, which includes Sierra Health Services Inc. (NYSE:SIE), Titanium Metals Corporation (NYSE:TIE), Frontier Oil Corporation (NYSE:FTO), Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEIX) and UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH),



What does the savvy investor he look for in a security?

This Zacks Challenge contender seeks out two primary characteristics in a stock: positive industry conditions and an upward trending price. "Positive momentum confirms that the stock will rise relative to its cyclic pattern," explained Hamilton.

How does he know when to sell?

Hamilton looks for warning signs of a breakdown in the stock's and/or industries upward trend. Specifically, he keeps an eye out for a series of lower lows, industry group and sector deterioration, and a pattern of negative momentum.

What is his outlook on the market?

This Simulator participant is in the bearish camp. He attributed his views on the market to the negative U.S. Dollar as compared to the Euro and the Yen. The market player went on to imply that it is quite possible for the Dow to decline to 10,200 in the next 12 months.

Any advice for those who are just starting out in the market?

Hamilton, who is an admirer of George Soros for his courage as well as his style towards wealth accumulation and risk management, advocates learning from other successful investors. He also said "know thy self," meaning one should decide what he or she wants from the market before taking the plunge.

Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day Highlights: salesforce.com, King Pharmaceuticals, Guess and FormFactor.

CHICAGO, May 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks Equity Research highlights salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) as the Bull of the Day and King Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:KG) as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Guess (NYSE:GES) and FormFactor (Nasdaq: FORM)



Bull of the Day:

Our Bull of the Day recommendation is for salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM). CRM is the market leader in the on-demand CRM space, and continues to see substantial subscriber and customer growth. The company has recovered from challenges in the fourth quarter to post some of its best results ever. Although the stock could prove to be volatile, we believe over the long-term, CRM is the leader in a potentially huge market. We therefore reiterate our Buy recommendation on the shares of salesforce.com with a six-month target price of $60.00.






Bear of the Day:

Our Bear of the Day recommendation is for King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE:KG). King is a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company that focuses on developing and marketing branded prescription pharmaceutical products. Most of the company's key products are either facing increased competition or generic threat. Additionally, we are concerned about declining prescription trends for most of these products. We believe that generic threat and mounting competition will continue to hinder both top-and bottom-line growth going forward. As such, we are maintaining our Sell rating on the stock, with a $14 target.




Analyst Blog:

Guess' (NYSE:GES) first quarter earnings were up 89% year-over-year and well above market expectations. We believe the company is positioned to continue delivering impressive results like this for the next several quarters. Based on the strength of its first quarter report and our optimistic view of the company's fundamentals, we are upping our 2006 and 2007 estimates. As such, our target price goes from $45 to $52, which is roughly 24 times our 2007 EPS estimate.







FormFactor (Nasdaq: FORM) is the market leader in advanced wafer probe cards used to test semiconductor wafers during the manufacturing process. The company has a very strong growth profile. March quarter revenue and EPS were above expectations. Bookings were up 17% sequentially to an all-time high. The company is no longer capacity constrained, and we expect margins to expand from here. The company's technology is leveraged towards leading edge 300mm and sub-110nm nodes, which are ramping quickly throughout the industry. We envision a strong second-half for FORM, and consequently, are maintaining our BUY rating FORM shares.





About the Bull and Bear of the Day

Every day, the analysts at Zacks Equity Research select two stocks that are likely to outperform (Bull) or underperform (Bear) the markets over the next 3-6 months.

Capitalizing on Growth in $70 Billion Staffing Market, INfe Human Resources Expands Through Acquisitions and Renames Subsidiary to Build Brand Recognition

INfe Human Resources Renames Wholly Owned Monarch Human Resources "INfe Human Resources of New York" to Increase Name Recognition in Thriving Industry May 17, 2006--INfe Human Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: IFHR - News), an innovative staffing company acquiring and accelerating the growth of staffing businesses in high-margin market niches, is exploiting growth opportunities in the thriving $70 billion US staffing market. INfe Human Resources has acquired revenue-generating staffing companies with complementary services and rolled them up into its wholly owned staffing subsidiary, achieving dramatic increases in revenue for first quarter 2006. To build name recognition and branding within the industry as it continues to pursue acquisitions, the company will discontinue use of the Monarch Human Resources, Inc. subsidiary name and continue staffing operations under the name INfe Human Resources of New York, Inc.

INfe Human Resources CEO Arthur Viola commented: "In the last two years the staffing industry has grown significantly. Growth has been driven by the need for flexibility in employment by both employers and employees coupled with a strong economy and job market. Trends including skills shortages across a range of industries, companies outsourcing services to focus on their core competencies, and the consolidation of staffing companies to increase scale and efficiencies are helping to spur double-digit industry growth." The American Staffing Association (ASA) reported that, based on data from its 2005 quarterly surveys, US annual sales for temporary and contract staffing totaled $69.5 billion in 2005, exceeding the industry's previous sales record in 2004 by 8.5%. Staffing firms employed an average of 3.11 million temporary and contract workers per day in the fourth quarter of 2005--up 9.8% over the same period the previous year. Following two years of double-digit employment growth in the staffing industry, the ASA views the staffing market as having moved into a period of solid, stabilizing, and sustained demand, even as staffing industry employment growth continues to far outpace overall employment growth.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that more jobs will be created in personnel supply services (which includes staffing) than in any other industry this decade, and that it will be the fifth fastest-growing industry through 2012.

"As we recently announced, our first quarter financial performance was strong, and we had significant increases in revenue, liquidity and cash flow that enabled INfe Human Resources to move from the development to operating stage," remarked Mr. Viola. "We have acquired and improved the performance of staffing companies with existing revenue and excellent potential. Backed by solid financial gains and key acquisitions, we feel we are uniquely able to take advantage of the sustained growth occurring in the staffing industry." About INfe Human Resources, Inc. (IFHR) INfe Human Resources, Inc., operating through wholly owned subsidiary INfe Human Resources of New York, Inc., is an innovative staffing company engaged in roll-up acquisitions of staffing businesses in high-margin market niches. To date the company has closed three acquisitions, resulting in significant revenue increases, expanded service offerings, reductions in back office costs and increased market share in the $70 billion staffing industry. In addition to taking advantage of major growth and opportunity for consolidation in the staffing market, INfe Human Resources offers capital and corporate financial consulting services to OTC Bulletin Board companies through its wholly owned Daniels Corporate Advisory Corporation subsidiary. INfe Human Resources' management team leverages a record of individual success in driving the growth of emerging companies to help potential consulting clients identify advantageous market niches and execute profitable roll-up acquisitions.

Aktien NYSE/NASDAQ Ausblick: Freundlich - Gute Dell-Bilanz, Snow beruhigt
Gestützt von abnehmenden Inflationssorgen werden die US-Börsen am Donnerstag gut behauptet erwartet. US-Finanzminister John Snow hatte in einem Fernsehinterview betont, dass die Inflation klar unter Kontrolle sei, sagten Börsianer. Zins- und Inflationsängste hatten die Wall Street in den vergangenen Tagen stark unter Druck gebracht. Auch eine positiv aufgenommene Bilanz des US-Computerherstellers Dell sorge für Entlastung am Markt.

Der Future auf den S&P-500-Index <INX.IND> legte bis 15.00 Uhr 0,45 Prozent auf 1.268,80 Punkte zu. Am Donnerstag hatte der marktbreite Index 0,67 Prozent auf 1.261,81 Zähler verloren. Der Future auf den NASDAQ-100-Index <NDX.X.IND> <NDX.X.NQI> stieg um 0,52 Prozent auf 1.603,00 Zähler. Am Vortag hatte der technologielastige Auswahlindex 0,74 Prozent auf 1.587,11 Punkte abgegeben.

Technologiewerte stehen laut Händlern wegen der am Vorabend vorgelegten Zahlen von Dell <DELL.NAS> <DLCA.FSE> (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) im Fokus - die Aktien tendierten vorbörslich fest. Zwar ist der Gewinn im abgelaufenen Quartal um knapp ein Fünftel geschrumpft. Damit wurden aber die nach einer Gewinnwarnung zu Beginn dieses Monats bereits gesenkten Markterwartungen getroffen. Analsten reagierten positiv: Friedman Billings stufte den Titel auf "Outperform" hoch.

Im Kielwasser von Dell sprangen Aktien von Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) <AMD.NYS> <AMD.FSE> (Nachrichten) vorbörslich kräftig nach oben. Der Computerhersteller Dell hatte bei Bekanntgabe seiner Quartalszahlen angekündigt, bis Ende des Jahres Server mit den neuen Opteron-Prozessoren von AMD anbieten zu wollen. CIBC erhöhte den Titel von "Underperformer" auf "Sector performer"./fat/gl

US-Börsen dürften sich zu Beginn erholen
Die aktuellen Futuresstände deuten auf eine Erholung an den zuletzt unter starken Druck geratenen New Yorker-Börsen hin. Der NASDAQ-Future legt um 0,6 Prozent auf 1.603,75 Punkte zu. Der S&P-Future steigt um 0,5 Prozent auf 1.268,75 Punkte. Besonders die NASDAQ ist mit Erholungspotential ausgestattet, zumal der Technologie-Index in den letzten Tagen mit acht negativen Notierungen in Folge die längste Durststrecke seit 12 Jahren verzeichnete. Ein Stratege macht auf den Umstand aufmerksam, dass der Markt auf einen Punkt gestoßen ist, wo eine starke technische Überverkauftheit zu registrieren ist.

Als mögliche stützende Faktoren für den Technologiesektor sind der weltgrößte Computerhersteller Dell und der Chiphersteller Advanced Micro Devices anzuführen. Dell verteuert sich nach erwartungsgemäß ausgefallenen Zahlen zum abgelaufenen Quartal im vorbörslichen Handel um fast 4 Prozent auf 24,85 Dollar. Advanced Micro Devices legen nach der Meldung über die von Dell beschlossene künftige Bestückung hochpreisiger Server mit AMD-Prozessoren vorbörslich um 8,4 Prozent auf 33,95 Dollar zu.

Bilanzprüfung im Strip-Club

„Due Diligence“ nennt man die Prüfung, bei der Investoren sich „mit der gebotenen Sorgfalt“ über die Zustände in einem Unternehmen informieren. Bestand und Bilanzen werden geprüft, Strategien und Märkte untersucht, das Management hinterfragt… so etwas kann langwierig und trocken sein – muss aber nicht.

Ein Nasdaq-notiertes Unternehmen hat jetzt einen neuen Weg gefunden, Aktionären und Analysten sein Kapital zur Prüfung vorzulegen: den „Due Diligence Ball“, ein heißes Nightlife-Event.

RickŽs Cabaret International ist der erste Nasdaq-notierte Strip-Club. Die Aktie mit dem Kürzel RICK handelt seit etwa zehn Jahren und kletterte in den vergangenen drei Jahren von knapp über einem Dollar auf zeitweise 8 Dollar. Zur Zeit notiert das Papier bei 6,49 Dollar, mit steigender Tendenz. Erst in dieser Woche hat das Management die Gewinnprognosen für das laufende Jahr um 10 Prozent angehoben, so gut läuft das Geschäft in zehn Läden in fünf US-Bundesstaaten.

Davon überzeugen sich Analysten gerne. Der Nachrichtendienst Reuters schreibt, dass den Experten in der New Yorker Filiale nicht nur Stripperinnen vorgeführt und private Tänze spendiert wurde, sondern auch Hummer und Austern. Immerhin verdankt RICK seinen Erfolg der Kombination aus schönen Frauen und gutem Essen, weshalb das Unternehmen an der Nasdaq auch der Restaurantbranche zugerechnet wird.

Anlegern fällt es allerdings auch nach dem „Due Diligence Ball“ schwer, ihren Analysten wichtige Informationen über das Unternehmen zu entlocken. Ronald Russo, Analyst bei US Euro Securities und Hausbanker von RickŽs Etablissements, beschreibt zumindest einige Branchentrends und gibt sich optimistisch für das Unternehmen: „Die Vorstellung, dass Stripclubs immer weniger akzeptiert werden, ist falsch. Das liegt nur an den jüngsten Spesenskandalen.“

Diese Skandale sind der Grund für das Schweigen der übrigen Analysten. Denn während sie eigentlich nut ihren Job erfüllen und einem börsennotierten Unternehmen mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von 30 Millionen Dollar auf den Zahn fühlen, tun sie das in einem Umfeld in dem Privates und Geschäftliches zuletzt oft vermischt worden sind – mit schlagzeilenträchtigen Folgen.

Für Aufruhr in der Strip- und Finanzbranche sorgte jüngst die Geschichte von Robert McCormick, dem früheren Chef des Telekomspezialisten Sawis. Der soll vor drei Jahren an einem einzigen Abend 241 000 Dollar im New Yorker Stripclub ScoreŽs ausgegeben und über seine American-Express-Karte als Spesen abgerechnet haben. McCormick bestritt das stets und will nur von 20 000 Dollar wissen, einen Rechtsstreit haben er selbst, Sawis, ScoreŽs und American Express erst vor zwei Monaten beigelegt.

Der Aufsehen erregende Fall brachte ein Thema ins Rampenlicht, über das die Wall Street in Zeiten politischer Korrektheit nicht wirklich sprechen wollte. So ist es im New Yorker Finanzdistrikt durchaus üblich, gelungene Geschäfte im Strip-Club zu feiern, was einigen Banken zuletzt Millionenklagen weden sexueller Diskriminierung eingebracht hat. Nachdem unmoralische Geschäftspraktiken Morgan Stanley zuletzt 54 Millionen Dollar kosteten und Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein noch gegen eine Klage kämpft, arbeiten die Broker-Organisation NASD und die Börsenaufsicht SEC an verschärften Regeln für Unternehmen an der Wall Street, die Sex künftig von Arbeitsplatz fernhalten oder empfindliche Strafen erleiden sollen.

Analysten, die sich mit der Aktie von RickŽs beschäftigen, haben jetzt ein Problem, denn über ihre Erfahrungen (und Einschätzungen) der Geschäfte können sie kaum öffentlich reden. Müssen sie aber auch nicht, denn offensichtlich informieren sich Anleger bei einigen Unternehmen gerne selbst – im Club oder in der Bilanz. Letztere ist am Morgen eingereicht worden und führt im Freitagshandel zu einem Plus von mehr als 8 Prozent.

Dell switches to AMD chips

AUSTIN, Texas, May 19, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Texas' Dell Inc. will switch to Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Opteron chip in multiprocessor servers by year-end.
News of the switch from Intel Corp. chips hoisted AMD shares 14 percent in overnight trading, the Financial Times reported Friday.

Three years ago AMD broke away from Intel's shadow by introducing Opteron, a server chip that ran in the enhanced 64-bit mode needed by many corporate customers but could also run in the more standard 32-bit mode.

Since then Opteron sales have increased to account for about 20 percent of server chips sold, said Nathan Brookwood, of Insight 64.

Many observers have long regarded Opteron as superior to Xeon.

bellwetherreport.com: BellwetherReport.com Updates Foot Locker Inc.

May 19, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- The Bellwether Report Takes Notice of Foot Locker Inc. (NYSE:FL) Foot Locker leads the pack in the race to capture the biggest share of the athletic footwear market. The company is a leading retailer of athletic shoes and apparel. Foot Locker has more than 3,900 specialty stores in 20 countires in North America and Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand, led by Foot Locker (the #1 athletic footwear retailer in US). Foot Locker also operates Lady Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker; Champs Sports, an athletic wear retail chain; Eastbay, a catalog retailer of athletic equipment and apparel; and the Footlocker.com Web site. The company also has about 360 Footaction stores in the US and Puerto Rico, which sell footwear and apparel to young urbanites.
Shares jumped 9% in early morning trading after this week's announcement that the Company's first quarter profit moves up.

Athletic retailer Foot Locker Inc. said Wednesday first-quarter profit rose slightly, as strong business in North America offset European declines.

The company reported profit of $59 million, or 38 cents per share, compared with $58 million, or 37 cents per share, in last year's first quarter. Sales fell less than 1 percent to $1.37 billion from $1.38 billion.

Analysts were expecting per-share profit of 37 cents on $1.37 billion in revenue, according to Thomson Financial.

Same-store sales -- an important industry gauge measuring sales at stores open at least a year -- increased 0.5 percent, the company said.

SafeNet probed over options

May 19, 2006 (The Baltimore Sun - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- SafeNet Inc., the Belcamp network security company, said yesterday that it received a federal subpoena for information about stock option awards as well as an informal inquiry from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC requested "information relating to stock option grants to directors and officers of the company, as well as information relating to certain accounting policies and practices," the company said in a statement.

Federal officials this week have issued subpoenas to and launched investigations of several other publicly held companies regarding their stock options.

Regulators are looking at possible "back-dating," in which an executive would receive options with an effective date earlier than their grant date to take advantage of previous declines in the stock, The Wall Street Journal has reported.

Options usually bear a "strike price" equal to or more than the price of the stock on the day they are granted. Because the value depends on the difference between the strike price and a higher market price later, the lower the stock on the effective date the better for the recip- ient.

It was unclear last night whether the SafeNet probe is related to the others.

But an examination of payments to SafeNet Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Anthony A. Caputo shows a pattern of immediately exercisable grants of options at or near the bottom of short-term dips in the company's stock price, or at yearly lows.

The SEC declined to comment on the SafeNet case. The U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, which issued the subpoena, would not confirm or deny an investigation.

"We are cooperating" fully with both the SEC and U.S. attorney's office and "we will provide them any documentation that they need," said SafeNet spokeswoman Donna St. Germain.

St. Germain said the subpoena sought documentation regarding any stock options the company has granted. She declined to expand on her statement about the SEC inquiry.

In March, SafeNet stated in an SEC filing that it would adjust some of its 2005 earnings, strengthen its accounting staff and improve its financial reporting.

SafeNet said in the filing that it had identified a material weakness that "pertains to insufficient staffing and technical expertise in our accounting and financial reporting functions" and that it had hired two new accountants and created a new position of "director of recognition of revenue."

SafeNet announced shortly thereafter that Chief Financial Officer Ken Mueller had left the company, offering few details about his exit.

SEC documents show that on Sept. 29, Caputo received 100,000 options to buy SafeNet shares at the then-market price of $29.70 -- a day before the stock rose nearly $7.

On May 19, 2004, Caputo received 100,000 options at $21.70 per share, close to the low for the year of $21.14 and far below the price of $36.74 at the end of 2004.

On Feb. 27, 2003, Caputo received 100,000 options when the stock was $16.47. That was the lowest price of any trading day that year. By October the stock had reached almost $43.

Again in October 2002, SafeNet granted Caputo 100,000 options when the stock was $13.75. Within two months it was $29. In 2001, he got 150,000 options when the stock was $5.85, only a penny above its low point for the year.

In 2002, 2003 and 2004, SEC filings show that Caputo was the only senior SafeNet officer who got options that were immediately exercisable, meaning he could benefit from any short-term price increase. Most options have a vesting period of several years.

Other companies reported yesterday receiving similar inquiries from federal officials regarding stock options.

Caremark Rx Inc., a Nashville pharmaceutical services company, said it was subpoenaed this week by the U.S. attorney in New York and received an informal inquiry from the SEC for stock option documents.

Affiliated Computer Services Inc., a Dallas business process outsourcing and information technology company, filed an SEC document yesterday saying that it received a subpoena from the same office requesting documents about stock options granted from 1998 until now.

Health care giant UnitedHealth Group of Minneapolis said this week that it was subpoenaed for stock option documents dating back to 1999. The Internal Revenue Service has also asked the company for documents involving stock options for top executives, UnitedHealth said in a statement.

Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. of Camarillo, Calif., issued a press release this week saying that three of its top officers were fired because of their "involvement with issues related to the integrity of documents relating to Vitesse's stock option grant process."

Compuware's Karmanos gets 44% pay increase

May 23, 2006 (Detroit Free Press - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Profit went up at Compuware Corp. last year and so did executive compensation and the number of shares the company is giving employees.
Compuware Chairman and CEO Peter Karmanos Jr. was paid $3 million for the year ending in March, or 44% more than the previous year, as the company boosted profit 87%.

In the year ending in March, Karmanos' base salary was $971,850, more than a 50% increase from his $635,925 salary for the year ending in March 2005. The increase was not a raise, said Compuware spokeswoman Lisa Elkin. Compuware's board of directors restored a voluntary 69% pay cut Karmanos took in October 2003, she said.

That salary reduction was part of a cost-cutting effort during gloomy financial times for Compuware after the post-millennium tech bust that led earnings per share to drop 172%, from 91 cents in 2000 to a 66-cent per share loss in 2002.

Karmanos' bonus for fiscal 2006, which is tied to the company's performance, was $1.75 million, a 20% increase compared with last year. Of that bonus, $583,110 is to be paid after two years. During the year ending in March, Karmanos received $77,780, including access to leased cars.

He also gained $224,000 on paper by exercising expiring stock options, although he kept the stock he bought.

As a boon from the boost in earnings, the company told workers Monday that it plans to buy 100 Compuware shares for each of its U.S.-based employees this year. It opted not to buy those shares for employees last year for the first time in its history.

Compensation figures for Karmanos and the company's top executives were released in the company's proxy statement Monday.

In that filing, Compuware's board of directors said its bonuses are tied to goals for earnings per share and revenue. The board said the company met goals for earnings per share. But Compuware's revenue declined 2% for the year ending in March to $1.2 billion.

INTEL: Intel Capital extends WiMAX investments worldwide First investment in the Middle East and continued momentum in Europe

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 23, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Intel Capital, the venture capital investment arm of Intel Corporation, today announced the signing of two WiMAX (Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access) agreements. The first is for an investment in Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited, a joint venture with Orascom Telecom of Egypt, and the second is for an investment in Worldmax, a joint venture with Enertel Holding of the Netherlands. Both investments are expected to be completed following the fulfillment and satisfaction of certain condition precedents and the receipt of various approvals.
The deals underscore Intel Capital's continuing commitment to the deployment of low-cost broadband Internet access through WiMAX networks around the world. Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited is also the first investment from the Intel Capital Middle East and Turkey Fund announced last November.

Both deals are collaborations between Intel Capital and established telecommunications companies, which will bring significant experience of network deployment, marketing and operations to the newly formed joint ventures. Orascom TelecomWiMAX Limited will focus its efforts on working with governments and companies throughout the Middle East and parts of Asia to obtain suitable spectrum licenses for the deployment of WiMAX services. Worldmax is targeting the deployment of WiMAX services in the Netherlands. In addition to funding and personnel, Enertel is also contributing an existing nationwide 80 MHz at 3.5 GHz spectrum license to support this new joint venture.

Both new companies will be majority-owned by Orascom Telecom of Egypt and Enertel Holding respectively, with Intel Capital as the lead investor. Intel Capital will also provide access to the significant technical and marketing resources of Intel Corporation.

"Intel Capital is a leader in promoting the deployment of low-cost WiMAX based Internet access," said Arvind Sodhani, president of Intel Capital. "These latest agreements build on the foundation of existing Intel Capital investments to bring the benefits of low-cost, high-bandwidth broadband Internet access to consumers around the world and support the vision of the World Ahead program that Intel CEO Paul Otellini outlined earlier this month at the World Congress on Information Technology."

Over the past year, Intel Capital has announced investments in a number of WiMAX and wireless broadband service providers around the world including: PIPEX Wireless in the United Kingdom, DBD in Germany, Unwired Australia, Neovia in Brazil and MVSNet in Mexico. Intel Capital has also been active in supporting WiMAX infrastructure development through investments in Navini Networks, a provider of WiMAX basestations and modems, and Beceem Communications, a provider of mobile WiMAX chipsets.

"We see the creation of this new wireless service provider as an incredible opportunity to provide new services to major cities in the Netherlands," said Cees Meeuwis, Enertel executive chairman. "Worldmax will offer wireless access and services through a wholesale relationship with a number of resale channels in the Dutch market. This wireless broadband access service will uniquely complement the existing fixed-line broadband access services already offered in the Netherlands."

"Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited is an exciting first step towards bringing the advantages and opportunity of Internet connectivity to the people of the Middle East, and beyond, many of whom have never had such an opportunity before," said Franco Grimaldi, CEO of Orascom Telecom WiMAX Limited.

"Together with Intel Capital, we will work closely with governments and companies in the Middle East and Asia to make this vision a reality."

Yahoo! and eBay Form Strategic Partnership to Further Expand Their Businesses in U.S.

SUNNYVALE & SAN JOSE, Calif., May 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) and eBay Inc (Nasdaq: EBAY) today announced a multi-year strategic partnership designed to mutually benefit both companies by better serving their user, merchant, and advertising communities in the U.S. The agreement consists of four major components in the areas of search and graphical advertising, online payments, a co-branded toolbar, and the opportunity to explore "click-to-call" functionality.
"Our consumers will benefit from the combination of Yahoo! and eBay's leading technology and services, providing them with one of the best online experiences," said Terry Semel, chairman and chief executive officer, Yahoo! Inc. "Yahoo! holds a leadership position in all forms of online advertising. This partnership with eBay provides us with a great opportunity to further extend our sponsored search and graphical advertising reach to one of the largest and most active communities on the Web."

"We are thrilled to be working more closely with Yahoo! and we think this agreement represents a great opportunity to benefit our communities and grow our businesses," said Meg Whitman, president and chief executive officer, eBay Inc. "Yahoo! offers an engaged online audience, which drives massive traffic through its rich consumer content and premium services. Working together, we can create more exposure for our properties, which in turn makes them more valuable to our users."

Yahoo! and eBay will begin to roll out the initiatives outlined in the agreement this year. This will include a testing phase that will take place over the next several months, with a plan to achieve full implementation in 2007.

Further details of the agreement include:

Search and Advertising:

Yahoo! will become the exclusive third-party provider of all graphical advertisements throughout the eBay.com site, and sponsored search for complementary products on some eBay.com search results pages in the U.S. Yahoo! already provides a broad and deep array of essential services to an extremely engaged audience around the world. Through this partnership, Yahoo! can expand upon these strengths with the addition of eBay.com's high quality online inventory, offering advertising clients an optimal marketing experience.

Yahoo! and eBay have also agreed to collaborate on ways to increase the quality and comprehensiveness of Yahoo! Web search results for eBay.com and to provide Yahoo! search users with more up-to-date listings from the millions of products on the eBay.com marketplace, with the goal to create a better search experience by enabling shoppers to more easily find relevant eBay listings.

Integrated Commerce Payment System:

Yahoo! has selected PayPal to become the exclusive third-party provider of its online wallet -- allowing customers to pay for Yahoo! services from bank accounts, credit cards or balances associated with their PayPal accounts. PayPal, which has 73 million accounts in the U.S., also will be deeply integrated on the Yahoo! site and will receive prominent positioning when users purchase Yahoo! services across its network. This offering will provide Yahoo! consumers with additional online payment choices and the option to use PayPal across the entire Yahoo! network.

PayPal will be integrated and promoted as Yahoo!'s payment solution to Yahoo!'s merchants and publishers, which includes the Yahoo! Publisher Network, Yahoo! Search Marketing, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions and other small business services.

Co-Branded eBay Toolbar:

Yahoo! Web search functionality and Yahoo! site links, including the Yahoo! Home Page, Yahoo! Mail and My Yahoo!, will be integrated into a co-branded version of the eBay toolbar. The eBay toolbar has been downloaded by more than four million eBay users to date, and lets consumers quickly link to preferred eBay locations while offering enhanced online protection. This new co-branded toolbar will make it even easier for consumers to take advantage of both companies' offerings to quickly access information wherever they are on the Web.

"Click-to-Call" Advertising Functionality:

Yahoo! and eBay will explore developing and deploying "click-to-call" advertising technologies on their respective Websites in the U.S., accessible by users of both Yahoo! Messenger with Voice and Skype. "Click-to-call" is a product feature link included inside an advertisement that consumers can use to directly call that advertiser to pursue a transaction.

Yahoo! and eBay do not expect this relationship to have a material impact on their financial results in 2006. Both companies will incorporate any financial impact for 2007 and beyond when they deliver their business outlook for those periods.

Blue Coat Reports Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2006

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 24, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Blue Coat(R) Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCSI), the leader in secure content and application delivery, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. Net revenue for the fourth quarter was $35.9 million, an increase of 26.5% compared to net revenue of $28.4 million for the same quarter last year and a slight increase compared to net revenue of $35.5 million in the prior quarter. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, net revenue was $141.5 million, an increase of 47.1% compared to net revenue of $96.2 million in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year and net income of $3.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the prior quarter. The net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 includes a charge for acquired in-process R&D of $3.3 million related to the acquisition of Permeo Technologies, Inc. ("Permeo"), the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $0.4 million, and approximately $24,000 of stock-based compensation expense, offset by approximately $0.2 million related to the reversal of restructuring reserves.

GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was $8.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to non- GAAP net income of $2.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year and non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was $12.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented above for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 exclude the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, the reversal of restructuring reserves, and a charge for acquired in-process R&D. The non-GAAP financial measures for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 also exclude the write-off net of recovery of capitalized software costs associated with the failed implementation of a forecast system. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, the non-GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and the reversal of restructuring reserves.

Blue Coat ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted investments totaling $58.5 million, a decrease of $13.4 million from the prior quarter due primarily to the acquisition of Permeo, partially offset by cash flow from operations.

"Our fourth quarter results reflect the slower growth in the proxy appliance market that we began to see in the previous quarter," said Brian NeSmith, president and chief executive officer of Blue Coat. "We remain confident in our ability to maintain leadership in the market for secure content and application delivery, particularly with the latest addition of MACH5 application acceleration to our SG platform and the rapid integration of technology from Permeo."

Financial Outlook

For the first fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2006, the Company currently anticipates net revenue in the range of $36.1 - $36.6 million. GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $2.2 - $2.6 million, or $0.15 - $0.17 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, which is expected to exclude the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of FAS 123R, net income is expected to be between $0.6 - $1.0 million, or $0.04 - $0.06 per diluted share.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Blue Coat uses the non-GAAP financial measures of income discussed above for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. These non- GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share data. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The measures are intended to supplement GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Blue Coat believes that these measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and investors regarding its ongoing operating activities and business trends related to its financial condition and results of operations. Blue Coat believes that it is useful to provide investors with information to understand how specific line items in the statement of operations are affected by certain items, such as the amortization of intangible assets, the write-off and recovery of capitalized software associated with the failed implementation of a forecast system, a charge for acquired in-process R&D, stock-based compensation expense, and the reversal of restructuring reserves. In addition, the Company's management and board of directors use certain non-GAAP financial measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the Company's financial results of operations since items such as the amortization of intangible assets, the write-off and recovery of capitalized software associated with the failed implementation of a forecast system, a charge for acquired in-process R&D, stock-based compensation, and the reversal of restructuring reserves are not considered to impact current resource allocation decisions. The Company believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EPL Offers to Acquire Stone Energy for $52 Per Share in Cash and Stock; Equity Value of Approximately $1.4 Billion Provides Premium of Approximately 26% to Current Value of Plains/Stone Agreement and is Expected to Be Immediately Accretive to Cash Fl

NEW ORLEANS, May 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Energy Partners, Ltd. ("EPL") (NYSE:EPL) announced today that it has made an offer to the Board of Directors of Stone Energy Corporation ("Stone") (NYSE:SGY) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Stone for a combination of cash and stock valued at $52.00 per Stone share. Under the terms of the EPL proposal, each share of Stone common stock will be exchanged for $26.00 in cash and a variable number of shares of EPL common stock having a value of $26.00 based on the average closing price of EPL stock over the 20 trading days preceding the closing of the merger. The number of EPL shares to be issued for each Stone share will range from a maximum of 1.287 to a minimum of 1.053, assuming 27.7 million fully diluted Stone shares. This would equate to 1.21 EPL shares for each Stone share, based upon the closing price of EPL's stock on May 24, 2006. Stone shareholders will be given the option to elect to receive the consideration in cash or EPL common stock, subject to the limitation that the total value of the cash consideration payable for the shares will be approximately $720 million.
EPL's offer represents a premium of approximately 26% over the $41.20 per share value proposed to be paid for Stone shares under the merger agreement between Plains Exploration and Production Company ("Plains") (NYSE:PXP) and Stone, based on the closing price of Plains's common stock on May 24, 2006; a premium of approximately 10% over the closing price of Stone's common stock on April 21, 2006, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the proposed Plains/Stone agreement; and a premium of approximately 28% over the May 24, 2006 closing price of Stone's common stock, the last trading day before the EPL offer was made public.

The proposed transaction is valued at approximately $2.0 billion, which includes approximately $1.4 billion in equity and the assumption of approximately $563 million of Stone debt. This represents aggregate additional consideration of $300 million over the current value provided to Stone shareholders under the Plains/Stone agreement. On a pro forma basis, the combined company will be the third most active driller of operated wells in federal and state waters in the Gulf of Mexico (based on 2005 figures). The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to EPL's cash flow per share. Assuming the timeline set forth in the offer letter, it is anticipated that the proposed transaction will close in the third quarter of 2006. The equity portion of the transaction is expected to be structured to be tax free to Stone shareholders who elect to receive EPL shares.

"The financial benefits of this offer are extremely compelling for Stone shareholders," said Richard A. Bachmann, EPL's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our offer clearly provides Stone shareholders superior value over that contemplated by the Plains/Stone agreement, including a substantial premium, the certainty of cash, and a variable exchange ratio subject to a collar to provide downside protection. In addition, given our highly complementary operating assets, we expect to achieve significantly greater synergies than those identified in the Plains/Stone agreement.

"The combination of Stone and EPL will create a premier offshore E&P company capable of generating considerable upside value for shareholders of both companies. This transaction will accelerate the diversification and growth of our presence in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf and add proved reserves at an attractive price. We will also gain significant option value through Stone's onshore Rockies position. Furthermore, the acquisition of Stone will increase our scale and scope and enhance our competitive position in all facets of exploration and development.

Wall Street: Analysten stützen den Markt

Die US-Börsen haben den Donnerstagshandel mit weiteren Gewinnen eröffnet. Kurz nach der Glocke klettert der Dow-Jones-Index um 36 Zähler, die Nasdaq legt um 13 Punkte zu.

Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt wird für das erste Quartal mit einem Wachstum von 5,3 Prozent gemessen, was besser ist als die ursprünglich gemeldeten 4,8 Prozent. Ganz zufrieden ist der Markt dennoch nicht, da manche Analysten eine etwas heftigere Revidierung nach oben erwartet hatten. Damit allerdings steigt auch die Angst vor weiteren Zinserhöhungen nicht so sehr, was dem Aktienhandel in den nächsten Tagen gut tun könnte.

Nachdem die Wall Street bereits am Vortag vor allem von einer Aufstufung für General Motors profitiert hatte, sind es auch am Donnerstag wieder Analystenkommentare, die Aktien Kraft geben:

Der weltgrößte Einzelhändler Wal-Mart profitiert am Donnerstag von einer Aufstufung bei der Bank of America. Die Analysten setzen die Aktie auf „Kaufen“ und heben die Aussichten für 2006 und 2007 an. Man lobt schwungvolle Verkaufsstrategien und stärkere Margen aufgrund langsameren Flächenwachstums. Zudem komme, dass Wal-Mart in einem möglicherweise abkühlenden konjunkturellen Umfeld weniger leide als andere Unternehmen der Branche.

Die Analysten von Prudential Equity stufen Ebay auf „Übergewichten“ auf und reagieren damit vor allem auf die Kursstürze seit Jahresbeginn, die das Papier auf einen attraktiven Kurs geführt hätten. Die jüngste Schwäche bei Ebay reflaktiere unter anderem die allgemeine negative Stimmung am Markt, höhere Zinsen und Ölpreise und entsprechend niedrigere Konsumlust beim Verbraucher. Diese Faktoren sieht man nun aber als eingepreist, womit das Potenzial der Aktie das Verlustrisiko deutlich übersteige.

Ebay verbessert sich um 9 Prozent, profitiert allerdings auch von einer neuen Kooperation mit Yahoo. Danach wird Yahoo exklusiver Werbepartner auf den Seiten der Auktionshauses, während die Ebay-Tochter PayPal exklusiv den Zahlungsverkehr auf dem Yahoo-Angebot regeln wird. Geplant ist ferner die Entwicklung einer „Click-to-Call“-Technologie, mit der User Anzeigenkunden per Mausklick direkt anrufen können.

Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses steht am Donnerstag auch der Börsengang von Mastercard. Der Kreditkartenriese gibt 61,5 Millionen Aktien zu 39 Dollar aus. Damit liegt man um 1 Dollar unter der eigentlich angepeilten Preisspanne von 40 bis 43 Dollar. Mit einer möglichen Marktkapitalisierung von 2,4 Milliarden Dollar sieht die NYSE dennoch das größte IPO seit Genworth Financial vor zwei Jahren.

Dass Mastercard überhaupt unter der geplanten Spanne erstnotiert, liegt an einem enttäuschenden Börsengang vom Vortag, als Vonage Holdings als große Enttäuschung in die Geschichte einging. Das Papier des Internettelefon-Spezialisten hat am ersten Handelstag 13 Prozent abgegeben und damit das schwächste IPO seit zwei Jahren gegeben.

Stockguru.com: StockGuru Alerts for Tuesday, May 30, 2006 Micron Enviro Systems Announces Forward Split and ADNR Licenses Software

Dallas, Texas, May 30, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- StockGuru Pre-Market Updates for Tuesday include Micron Enviro Systems Inc (OTCBB: MSEV), NutraCea (OTCBB: NTRZ), Cord Blood America, Inc (OTCBB: CBAI), Starfield Resources Inc (OTCBB: SRFDF) , Atlas Mining Company (OTCBB: ALMI) and Andrea Electronics Corporation (OTCBB: ANDR) StockGuru Price Alerts feature companies with significant moves in either volume or price in the past two trading sessions. In our update we analyze recent news about the companies featured and detail the movement in the stock.



Micron Enviro Systems Inc (OTCBB: MSEV) - Shares closed up 6.20% on Friday Volume was heavy at 4,447,005 shares, with closing price of $.14 per share. On Thursday, May 25, the Company announced plans to forward split its stock on a 3 for 1 basis for shareholders of record on June 12, 2006. Management feels a forward split would reward the existing and new shareholders of record and assist in curbing the possible naked shorting of the stock. Micron is currently undertaking a new marketing initiative to create additional awareness for the company. This plan will primarily be email based and will target 100 percent opt-in private and intuitional investors that trade stocks in Micron's price range. This new marketing initiative will be on-going over the coming months. Bernie McDougall, President of Micron stated, "We feel that at this time a forward split is the best situation for Micron to move forward in growing the company and maximizing shareholder value. When you take into account the current near all time highs on oil prices and that the shares are trading more than 70% below the high recently set, we feel that the Micron shares may not be reflecting the current value of the company especially since the company's current liabilities have decreased by over 75% and the current assets have increased by 10 times during the past quarter. At this time, Micron is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to multiple Alberta Oil Sands prospects."

MSEV is an emerging oil and gas company that has both oil and gas producing properties. MSEV's goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace.

Revenue for the quarter was approximately $2,684,000, compared with approximately $2,670,000 for the comparable quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) credentialing and managed services segment revenue growth of 262% to $223,000, from $85,000 a year ago. The PKI revenue growth was a result of increasing early adoption and ramp-up ahead of the pending deadlines issued under the federal government mandate under Homeland Security Presidential Directive No. 12 (HSPD-12) that commence on July 30, and October 27, 2006. The PKI segment revenue increase was partially offset by a decline in consulting services segment revenue of approximately $123,000 as the result of contract delays that occurred during the first quarter of 2006 and as a result of the company\'s revenue recognition policy that resulted in an increase in deferred revenues that the company should recognize during the second and third quarters of 2006. The operating loss for the quarter narrowed to $268,000, which included increases in investments in sales and marketing efforts in preparation for the deadlines associated with HSPD-12 and stock option expense of approximately $61,000, compared to a loss of $507,000 in the first quarter of 2005. As a result of the above, the net loss for the period was approximately $258,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $432,962 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which included a non-operational gain from financial instruments of $996,000. WidePoint CEO Steve Komar said, "We are optimistic about the latter half of 2006 and the results we expect for the full fiscal year as our PKI segment participates in the launch and rollout of HSPD-12. We are still early in the adoption phase of the HSPD-12 mandate by federal agencies and remain confident in our expectations for strong growth within this segment during the second half of the year. We continue to expand our sales and marketing efforts, proposal activity, and negotiate strategic alliances in advance of the mandate\'s deadlines to further solidify our position as a leader in this developing marketplace."

Earnings in 2006 were also adversely affected by a decline in the net interest margin to 3.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 3.74% for the same period last year. The decrease in our net interest margin is due to our funding solid loan growth with more expensive wholesale funding compared to the lower cost of core deposits.

Cardiome Announces Refusal To File Decision By The FDA NASDAQ: CRME TSX: COM

VANCOUVER, May 31, 2006 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Cardiome Pharma Corp. (NASDAQ: CRME / TSX: COM) today announced that its co-development partner, Astellas Pharma US, Inc., has received a "refusal to file" letter from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the New Drug Application (NDA) for RSD1235 (iv), an investigational new drug for the acute conversion of atrial fibrillation.
In accordance with application regulations, the FDA is required to accept or refuse an application within 60 days of the completion of the filing, which occurred on March 31, 2006. Neither the acceptance nor non-acceptance of the NDA filing is a determination of the approvability of RSD1235 (iv).

"We are very disappointed to communicate this setback to our stakeholders," said Doug Janzen, President and Chief Business Officer of Cardiome. "Based on the clinical data generated from this program, we had great confidence that the submission would have met the Agency's filing requirements. Following this FDA decision, we will engage in discussions with our partner seeking greater involvement in the regulatory pathway."

In its communication, the FDA cited inconsistencies and omissions in the database submitted with the NDA application. Cardiome intends, with its partner Astellas, to meet with the FDA as soon as possible to discuss the issues raised, and to determine what remedies are required for the filing to be accepted. Following this discussion with the FDA, Astellas and Cardiome will be better able to assess the timing for addressing the FDA's issues in order to move the application process forward.

"Our confidence in this program is in no way affected by this event," said Bob Rieder, Chief Executive Officer of Cardiome. "We are reviewing our own efforts in relation to this NDA, and are fully committed to resolving the FDA's concerns as quickly as possible."

Pursuant to the license agreement between Cardiome and Astellas, a US$10 million milestone payable to Cardiome is triggered on acceptance of the NDA for review. This milestone remains outstanding pending acceptance of the NDA.


About Cardiome Pharma Corp.

Cardiome Pharma Corp. is a product-focused cardiovascular drug development company with two clinical drug programs focused on atrial arrhythmia (intravenous and oral dosing), and a pre-clinical program directed at improving cardiovascular function.

RSD1235 (iv) is the intravenous formulation of an investigational drug being evaluated for the acute conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF). Positive top-line results from two pivotal Phase 3 trials for RSD1235 (iv), called ACT 1 and ACT 3, were released in December 2004 and September 2005. A New Drug Application (NDA) for RSD1235 (iv) was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2006 by Cardiome's co-development partner, Astellas Pharma US, Inc. An additional Phase 3 study evaluating patients with post-operative atrial arrhythmia, called ACT 2, and an open-label safety study evaluating recent-onset AF patients, called ACT 4, are ongoing.

RSD1235 (oral) is being investigated as a chronic-use oral drug for the maintenance of normal heart rhythm following termination of AF. A Phase 2a pilot study for RSD1235 (oral) was initiated in December 2005.

Cardiome recently completed the acquisition of Artesian Therapeutics Inc., a privately held U.S. biopharmaceutical company developing bi-functional small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiome is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (COM) and the NASDAQ National Market (CRME). Further information about Cardiome can be found at www.cardiome.com.

ADC Telecom Pays Dearly

By Will Swarts
May 31, 2006
ADC Telecommunications (ADCT1)


Share price as of Tuesday's close: $22.38
Share price now: $17.92
Percent change: -19.9%
Volume: 25.1 million shares, daily average 1.5 million

The News
As the largest companies in the telecom industry realign and consolidate, so too do smaller players. In the latest move, shares of ADC Telecommunications (ADCT2) plummeted nearly 20% by the end of the trading day as investors decided its newly announced merger with equipment maker Andrew (ANDW3) comes at too high a price.

Although the agreement should help the Eden Prairie, Minn.-based telecom-equipment supplier as it expands from central-office systems to fiber, wireless and corporate markets, many turned away from the shares. The stock-swap merger with Andrew, initially valued at $2 billion, would be the industry's largest since Alcatel (ALA4) and Lucent Technologies (LU5) unveiled a $13.5 billion deal in early April.

ADC is offering Andrew shareholders a 30% premium from the target company's Tuesday closing price of $9.78 a share. Shares of Andrew, a Westchester, Ill.-based maker of products for telecom infrastructure, gained only 3.5% after the announcement, an indication that the merger was not warmly received on the Street.

Separately on Wednesday, ADC posted earnings of 19 cents a share for its fiscal second quarter ended April 28, down from 27 cents a share a year earlier. The decline came from the company's stock-options expensing, it said in a statement. Without the options expenses, ADC would've earned 29 cents a share, in line with analysts' forecasts, according to Thomson First Call. Revenues climbed 17% from the year-ago quarter.

The company also boosted its fiscal 2006 sales estimate to a range of $1.35 billion to $1.39 billion, up from $1.33 billion to $1.38 billion. ADC also said it estimated full-year earnings between 65 cents and 80 cents a share.

ADC's stock price was flat year-to-date before the merger news spurred an investor exodus. Shares of Andrew, which has been hurt by high copper prices, had been down about 9% so far in 2006.

In a joint statement, the companies announced the deal won't affect profits this year and will add to the bottom line in 2007. Once integration is closer to completion, three years after the transaction is finalized, management expects annual savings of $70 million to $80 million. Andrew shareholders will get 0.57 of an ADC share for each Andrew share.

To many Wall Street analysts, that's too much.

Merriman Curhan Ford analyst Tim Savageaux downgraded ADC to Neutral from Buy on news of the merger. "We believe ADC is overpaying for a low-quality asset with modest growth prospects in Andrew, and this is the key driver of our downgrade," he wrote in a research note published Wednesday.

Lawrence Harris, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co., took management to task for its generalized assertions about cost savings on the conference call. "Although the deal makes sense from a strategic perspective, the companies may need to provide greater details regarding the potential cost savings, such as facility closures or headcount reductions," he wrote in a research note published Wednesday afternoon. The two companies have nearly identical work forces — Andrew employs about 11,000 people, while ADC has about 9,000 workers.

"ADC's long-term operating margin target is 14%, up from about 10% currently. Unfortunately, Andrew's current pro forma operating margins are only about 5%," Harris wrote, adding that he did not anticipate any rival bidders for Andrew.

The Analysis
While it's been an article of faith for some time that mergers among the pool of large telecom customers will prompt similar ripples in the pond of equipment suppliers6, observers say the gap between perception and reality may be a problem for investors looking at Andrew's price tag.

"It appears at first glance that they overpaid," says Pacific Crest Securities analyst Tim Daubenspeck. "To pay a 30% premium to Andrew seems a bit aggressive at this point, in terms of buying a company with low margins and a less optimistic growth profile. But from a strategic standpoint, it makes sense."

Part of the problem is Andrew's lackluster performance in recent months, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Cobb Sadler. "Over the past several quarters, Andrew has struggled to meet its stated revenue and profitability targets," he wrote in a note published Wednesday. "It is our view that much of the shortfall is due to significant integration issues that remain from its acquisition of Allen Telecom. The new company will be challenged to drive synergies from this combination."

Andrew bought Allen in February 2003, in a $500 million stock-swap deal that created the largest global supplier of coaxial cables, RF power amplifiers, terrestrial microwave antennas, network geo-location systems, and repeaters and in-building systems.

Daubenspeck says integration issues won't pose the same problem as Andrew is folded into ADC's operations.

"If you look at ADC, they do have the infrastructure in place," he says. "They have the mechanisms and people and framework in place. They do know how to do acquisitions. Others weren't as big as this, but they know how to do them."

The Bottom Line
Andrew's acquisition will pressure several competitors that won't have the scope and scale increasingly required to deal with large customers such as Lucent and AT&T (T7).

Harris, at Oppenheimer & Co., calls the pairing of Andrew and ADC a "real-world case of fixed [line]-mobile convergence." That could squeeze CommScope (CTV8) and Powerwave Technologies (PWAV9), which compete for market share for wireless infrastructure, copper connectivity, enterprise cabling and coaxial cabling for wireless applications, he says.

Another consideration is Andrew's market penetration in Asia, where ADC — and every other telecom supplier — sees strong growth opportunities.

"There's a lot of activity in that region, and Andrew is stronger there than ADC, so they saw an opportunity to improve their market position," says Daubenspeck. As the big boys get bigger, it will be increasingly necessary to have a global reach, he says.

"As these guys consolidate it makes sense for suppliers to consolidate as well," Daubenspeck says of the pricey merger, on which he hasn't yet rendered a formal verdict. "From a strategic standpoint it makes sense, but from the price-paid viewpoint there are some price issues."

Stockguru.com: StockGuru Movers for Friday June 02, 2006 - PlanetLink Signs Contracts with Two Men and a Truck while XTHN Creates CoastalXethanol,LLC

Dallas, Texas, Jun 02, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- StockGuru Movers for Friday include PlanetLink Communications Inc.(OTCBB: PLKC), Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.(OTCBB: AMAR), Direct Insite Corp (OTCBB: DIRI), Xethanol Corporation (OTCBB: XTHN), Airtrax, Inc (OTCBB: AITX), and Atlas Mining Company (OTCBB: ALMI) StockGuru Movers feature companies with significant moves in either volume or price in the past two trading sessions. In our update,we analyze recent news about the companies featured and detail the movement in the stock.



.
PlanetLink Communications Inc.(OTCBB: PLKC), Thursday, the shares closed down $0.0001 or -2.70% ending at $0.0036. The volume was 113,164,282. The Company is a provider of GPS satellite-based products and services, announced May 31st, that following our receipt of Preferred Vendor Status and the subsequent presentation at the Two Men and a Truck Annual Convention for all the national franchisees, we have received signed contracts from the first five locations. The franchise locations in Fraser, Michigan, Ft. Myers, Florida, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Greenville, Wisconsin represent a total vehicle opportunity of 57 trucks. PlanetTRAKS is also conducting needs assessments, ROI evaluations and demos with several other franchise locations at this time. PlanetTRAKS was granted ''Preferred Vendor'' status prior to the TMT annual convention in April 2006. Since the convention, many of the TMT franchise operators have expressed interest in utilizing TransTRAK and are conducting serious in-depth analysis of the cost/benefit reality associated to GPS vehicle monitoring. Larry Lapaglia, Director of Agent Programs for PlanetTRAKS, stated that, ''The interest level is very high with many of the franchisees. In the past, they would discount the addition of GPS vehicle monitoring as just another operating expense. Now, those same franchisees are either relaying their experience of operating expense reduction benefits using TransTRAK or expressing a willingness to install TransTRAK in some of their trucks. The proof is in the pudding. As these franchise operators realize the benefits of using TransTRAK, they are becoming our sales voices.'' PlanetTRAKS Chief Executive Officer M. Dewey Bain commented, ''I know it has been long time in the making. Now we are seeing many of our efforts beginning to bear fruit at the same time and we expect to see rapid growth in the upcoming quarters. What we have seen so far with the steady sales increase is going to increase in intensity.''

PlanetLink Communications, Inc. recently launched its TransTRAK product through its wholly owned subsidiary, PlanetTRAKS. The Company is developing a family of GPS-enabled products and services under the PlanetTRAKS name. TransTRAK is the first of these products and is the Company's turnkey solution for real-time, mobile asset management.

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc.(OTCBB: AMAR), Thursday, the shares closed up $0.06 or + 6.06% to close at $1.05. The volume was 24,582. The Company announced May 31st, that it has agreed to sponsor a human clinical trial of naturally occurring respiratory tract diseases, including influenza, with Dr. Manfred Beilharz, the Head of the Nobel Prize winning Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Biomedical, Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences, the University of Western Australia. The trial will test whether daily dosing with oral interferon can protect human volunteers from infection and reduce the severity of respiratory tract infections, compared to placebo. The study is expected to start in Australia in early 2007 and continue for 6 months during which time 200 volunteers are expected to naturally encounter influenza viruses and other respiratory tract pathogens as they go about their daily lives. Dr. Beilharz will attend the ABI annual shareholder's meeting held June 22, 2006 in Amarillo, Texas at the Days Inn, East 1701 E IH40 to discuss his research with oral interferon and influenza. ABI is currently sponsoring a series of influenza studies in mice with Dr. Beilharz's research team. In the recently completed initial study, a daily oral dose of interferon protected mice against influenza whereas placebo-treated mice lost weight and temperature and became moribund before they were humanely killed. "Successfully using oral interferon to protect mice against a fatal challenge of influenza virus does not necessarily mean we can protect humans," said Dr. Beilharz. "However, human data from clinical trials in the former Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Japan and China reported that orally or intranasally administered interferon significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the severity and duration of naturally occurring influenza, compared to placebo." Dr. Beilharz and members of his research department have 10 publications and 3 dissertations on the subject of orally administered interferon. Dr. Beilharz is the past President of the Australian Interferon Society and an internationally recognized authority on interferon."The results of this initial study by Dr. Beilharz are extremely promising. We anticipate having confirmatory data from additional studies to be conducted by Dr. Beilharz in the near future. With positive animal data to supplement the historical human data, we hope to insert oral interferon into the debate as to how best to respond to an influenza pandemic," said Dr. Joseph Cummins, President and CEO, ABI. "Obviously, a successful human clinical trial will provide great support to our effort of gaining recognition for our safe, inexpensive, oral technology."

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. is a U.S. biotechnology firm operating in global partnership with the Hayashibara Group, which also holds 17% of Amarillo Biosciences shares and has provided over $17.8 million in loans, grants and equity investments. The Company's primary focus is extensive and ongoing R&D into the use of low-dose, orally administered interferon as a treatment for a variety of conditions, including Sjogren's syndrome, Behcet's disease, and opportunistic infections in patients who are HIV positive. In its 21-year history, ABI has invested nearly $37 million to establish oral interferon as a therapeutic agent. The majority of those funds were invested in clinical trials in an effort to achieve FDA approval for interferon. Additional information is available on the ABI web site at http://www.amarbio.com/.

Professional services revenue is expected to increase during the remainder of 2006.

In our update we analyze recent news about the companies featured and detail the movement in the stock.





Touchstone Applied Science Associates Inc (OTCBB: TASA) - Thursday's shares gained 27.27%, with a price per share of $3.50. Total volume was 8,850 shares. Touchstone has acquired the larger, privately-held Questar Educational Systems, Inc. of Apple Valley, MN in a cash and stock transaction initially valued at $20 million with the opportunity to reach $32.5 million based on performance milestones. Questar is one of the nation's leading providers of educational testing material production, distribution, scoring, reporting and data analysis services. TASA said the acquisition enhances its position as a leading developer and publisher of educational assessment materials and complements its core capabilities in test design and development. 'The purchase of Questar is a watershed event for TASA,' said Andrew L. Simon, chairman & CEO. 'The combined capability of the companies gives us major momentum in the educational assessment industry. This transaction also gives TASA critical mass and a breadth of capability that will allow us to bid on, and win, assessment contracts as the primary provider. We are now able to offer comprehensive assessment solutions ranging from test design through production and distribution of test materials to scoring, analysis and reporting.This acquisition closes gaps in the value chain that effectively precluded us from becoming a major participant in the $2 billion K-12 assessment market,' said Simon. 'Questar's strength is on the operational side of the assessment business, including its ability to score 'extended response,' or essay questions but it did not have much capability on the developmental side. TASA has been strong on the developmental side but did not have sufficient operational capability to handle large state assignments. The lack of overlap in our respective strengths made this an ideal combination. With the addition of Questar, TASA now has the capacity to perform every aspect of assignments, regardless of their magnitude.

TASA, based in Brewster, N.Y., provides consulting services, including test design and development, and psychometric services to states, school districts and textbook publishers through its custom assessment units.

Encysive Pharmaceuticals' Thelin(TM) (sitaxentan sodium) Receives Positive Opinion From European Authorities

HOUSTON, Jun 02, 2006 (PR Newswire Europe via COMTEX) -- Encysive Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ENCY) today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) issued a positive opinion recommending the approval of Thelin(TM) (sitaxentan sodium) 100 mg tablets as a once daily oral treatment for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
The CHMP recommended approval of Thelin for the treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension classified as World Health Organization (WHO) functional class III, to improve exercise capacity. Efficacy has been shown in primary pulmonary hypertension and in pulmonary hypertension associated with connective tissue disease.

The CHMP's positive opinion will now be considered by the European Commission, which is expected to issue a final decision regarding marketing approval for Thelin within approximately 90 days. Under the EMEA's centralized licensing procedure, if approved, Encysive would be granted marketing authorization for Thelin in all 25 member states of the European Union.

About Thelin(TM) (sitaxentan sodium) and PAH

Thelin(TM) (sitaxentan sodium(i)) is a small molecule that blocks the action of endothelin, a potent mediator of blood vessel constriction and growth of smooth muscle in vascular walls. Endothelin receptor antagonists may prove to be effective in the treatment of a variety of diseases where the regulation of vascular constriction is important. Sitaxentan sodium is 6,500-fold selective in the targeting of the endothelin A receptor versus the endothelin B receptor.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition that involves high blood pressure and structural changes in the walls of the pulmonary arteries, which are the blood vessels that connect the right side of the heart to the lungs. PAH causes shortness of breath, limits activity, and is eventually fatal unless treated successfully with heart/lung or lung transplantation. PAH is estimated to afflict approximately 100,000 to 200,000 people worldwide, many of whom are children and young women.

The most frequent adverse events that occurred in patients receiving sitaxentan sodium, which were more common than in placebo-treated patients, were headache, edema, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, dizziness, insomnia, nasopharyngitis, and nasal congestion. Because sitaxentan sodium inhibits the metabolism of warfarin, a decreased dose of warfarin is needed when co-administered with sitaxentan sodium. In addition, monthly testing for liver function and pregnancy testing for females of childbearing potential is required for patients receiving sitaxentan sodium.

(i) "Sitaxentan" sodium is the spelling recognized by the World Health Organization for Encysive Pharmaceuticals' sitaxsentan sodium.

Revlon Updates Outlook for 2006 and Beyond; Provides Status of Vital Radiance and Almay Brand Initiatives and Capital Structure Plans

NEW YORK, Jun 02, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) today announced updates to its outlook for 2006 and beyond and provided an update on its Vital Radiance and Almay initiatives as well as its capital structure plans. In making the announcements, the Company indicated that it expects strong revenue growth in 2006, although this growth is now expected to be lower than previously planned.
The Company indicated that its revised revenue outlook, while still strong, reflects less robust growth from Vital Radiance and Almay due to stepped up competitive activity, as well as less effectiveness from certain of the Company's revenue driving actions. The Company indicated that it is continuing to take important and appropriate steps intended to create long-term value and build its brands, including continuing to invest in its brand initiatives, while continuing to take appropriate and aggressive actions to reduce costs. The Company noted that it believes Vital Radiance is a compelling consumer proposition and will work with its retail partners to optimize the new brand's productivity and retail presentation, which could result in the reconfiguration or reduction of the Vital Radiance retail display space in certain retailers.

Revlon indicated that, given its revised revenue outlook, it now expects Adjusted EBITDA(1) will be at or below 2005 levels, with a significant impact on the second quarter of this year. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which is defined in the footnote to this press release.

The Company also announced that it intends to defer its $75 million equity offering to later in 2006 or early 2007 and will defer consideration of the previously-announced proposed refinancing of its current credit facility. The Company's existing revolving credit facility and term loan expire in July 2009 and July 2010, respectively. To ensure the Company raises the planned $75 million in equity, MacAndrews & Forbes, Revlon's principal shareholder, has agreed to extend its backstop until the consummation of such offering. In addition, as previously announced, the $87 million MacAndrews & Forbes line of credit will remain available to the Company through the completion of the $75 million equity issuance. MacAndrews & Forbes, Revlon's principal shareholder, stated, "We continue to believe in the long-term value of the Revlon business and its brands and, as a result, we have extended our backstop support."

In terms of the Company's longer-term outlook, Revlon indicated that it will continue to invest to support and build its brands, while continuing to focus over the long-term on improving its margin structure through the Company's ongoing productivity initiatives. These include: (i) reducing cost of goods sold through, among other things, ongoing value analysis, strategic sourcing and package rationalization activities; (ii) reducing returns though product lifecycle management and promotional redesign initiatives, among other actions; and (iii) reducing costs in other areas via strategic sourcing and aggressive management of discretionary spending. The Company indicated that it continues to target a significant improvement in its operating profit margin over time, but that it no longer expects a 12% operating margin by the end of 2008, despite good progress being made in cost of goods and administrative expenses.

Commenting on the announcements, Revlon President and CEO Jack Stahl stated, "Our initiatives are delivering significant incremental revenue growth in 2006, although they are requiring significant levels of investment to build consumer awareness and trial--particularly of Vital Radiance--due in part to the heightened competitive environment. We believe that these investments, along with our other actions to build the value of our brands, strengthen our retail relationships and reduce costs, will benefit the value of our Company over time."

The Company will host a conference call with members of the investment community on June 2, 2006 at 12:00 P.M. EDT to discuss this release. Access to the call is available to the public at www.revloninc.com.

Websites featuring current product and promotional information can be reached at www.revlon.com, www.almay.com, www.vitalradiance.com and www.mitchumman.com.

Footnote to Press Release

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on foreign currency transactions, gains/losses on the sale of assets, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes the effects of gains/losses on foreign currency transactions, gains/losses on the sale of assets, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses because the Company's management believes that some of these items may not occur in certain periods, the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and these items do not facilitate an understanding of the Company's operating performance. The Company's management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures, such as net income and gross margin calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's management uses Adjusted EBITDA as an integral part of its reporting and planning processes and as one of the primary measures to, among other things --

(i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company's business operations;

(ii) facilitate management's internal comparisons of the Company's historical operating performance of its business operations;

(iii) facilitate management's external comparisons of the results of its overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels;

(iv) review and assess the operating performance of the Company's management team and as a measure in evaluating employee compensation and bonuses;

(v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and

(vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

The Company's management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to provide them with disclosures of the Company's operating results on the same basis as that used by the Company's management. Additionally, the Company's management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the performance of the Company's overall business because such measure eliminates the effects of unusual or other infrequent charges that are not directly attributable to the Company's underlying operating performance. Additionally, the Company's management believes that because it has historically provided Adjusted EBITDA in previous press releases, that including such non-GAAP measure in its earnings releases provides consistency in its financial reporting and continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, is a useful financial analysis tool, used by the Company's management as described above, which can assist investors in assessing the Company's financial condition, operating performance and underlying strength. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income/(loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define EBITDA differently. Also, while EBITDA is defined differently than Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's credit agreement, certain financial covenants in its borrowing arrangements are tied to similar measures. Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the other information in this press release, should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and footnotes contained in the documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Biogen/Elan: Tysabri kommt wieder
Biogen Idec (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) und Elan Corporation (Nachrichten) haben heute mitgeteilt, dass ihr Multiple-Sklerose-Medikament „Tysabri“ von der FDA wieder zugelassen worden ist.

Wegen der ansonsten hohen Wirksamkeit kehrt Tysabri jetzt aber wieder auf den Markt zurück. Dabei müssen sich sämtliche Probanden registrieren lassen und dürfen das Mittel nur unter strengen ärztlichen Auflagen einnehmen. Nach „Lotronex“ ist Tysabri bislang das zweite Medikament, dass in den USA wieder eine Zulassung erhalten hat, nachdem es wegen schwerer Nebenwirkungen vom Markt genommen worden war.

Verizon Business: New research reveals collaboration is a key driver of business performance around the world Verizon Business, Microsoft sponsor international study; Create first-of-its-kind collaboration index to measure impact of communications cu

Reading UK, Jun 06, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Collaboration is a key driver of overall performance of companies around the world. Its impact is twice as significant as a company's aggressiveness in pursuing new market opportunities (strategic orientation) and five times as significant as the external market environment (market turbulence).*
Those are the results of a groundbreaking study - "Meetings Around the World: The Impact of Collaboration on Business Performance" -- conducted by Frost & Sullivan and sponsored by Verizon Business and Microsoft Corp. The study defines collaboration as an interaction between culture and technology such as audio and Web conferencing, e-mail and instant messaging, and it created a method to specifically measure how collaboration affects business performance.

The study also showed that a global culture of collaboration exists, but that there are regional differences in how people in various countries prefer to communicate with one another.

"The results show that collaboration can positively impact each of the gold standards of performance -- profitability, profit growth and sales growth -- to determine a company's overall performance in the marketplace," said Jaclyn Kostner, Ph.D., best-selling author and expert on high-performance virtual collaboration. "As a general rule, global companies that collaborate better, perform better. Those that collaborate less, do not perform as well. It's just that simple."

The "Meetings Around the World" study surveyed 946 information technology and line-of-business decision-makers from a cross section of 2,000 small-to-medium, mid-market and global companies in the United States, Europe (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) and Asia-Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong and Japan).** The researchers created a Collaboration Index to measure a company's relative "collaborativeness" based on two main factors:

* An organisation's orientation and infrastructure to collaborate, including collaborative technologies such as audio conferencing, Web conferencing and instant messaging

* The nature and extent of collaboration that allows people to work together as well as an organisation's culture and processes that encourage teamwork

Impact Consistent Geographically and Across Key Industries The study, conducted in March, found that the high impact of collaboration on a company's overall performance was consistent across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific, and across the six key vertical industries that were examined: healthcare, government, high technology, professional services, financial services and manufacturing.

"Verizon Business is already facilitating better collaboration with advanced services like Net Conferencing and Secure Instant Messaging," said Nancy Gofus, vice president of product management for Verizon Business. "We commissioned this study to keep a finger on the pulse of the collaboration heartbeat and help ensure that our current and future products continue to address the expanding needs of our customers."

Susan Conway, a senior consultant at Microsoft, said, "At Microsoft, our research has shown that information workers are increasing their use of collaboration technologies to help increase productivity and improve business efficiencies. As adoption of collaboration technology grows, it is crucial to provide information workers with collaboration solutions that take the complexity out of communication. Microsoft is providing information workers with a unified communications experience that breaks down the silos of communications that exist today and brings them together into an intuitive experience that puts people at the centre."

Research led by Dr. Donald Abraham of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) has shown 5-HMF to be "the best potential anti-sickling agent in 30 years of sickle cell research", performed by his group. 5-HMF not only is a natural product with very little, if any, toxicity, but it has a high affinity for sickle cell hemoglobin. It is also very active in genetically modified mice as shown by Dr. Toshio Asakura, Director, and his colleagues at the NIH-NHLBI Sickle Cell Disease Reference Laboratory at the Children\'s Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania.

According to Xechem\'s Chairman and CEO, Dr. Ramesh Pandey, "We are pleased with the FDA\'s decision granting Orphan Drug Designation to 5-HMF. This puts Xechem into a unique position where the company will have two drugs in the pipeline for treating patients with sickle cell disease. 5-HMF is a new type of drug that interacts specifically with intracellular hemoglobin without interacting with other proteins in the body. Today there are no non-toxic drugs available on the market to treat SCD. We are actively proceeding with our first drug (NICOSAN(TM)) in the hope of bringing it to the Nigerian market immediately following Nigerian regulatory approval. We are also preparing the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for 5-HMF for submission to the FDA in the coming months."

About Orphan Drug Designation

Orphan Drug status entitles a company to various incentives including the waiver of Regulatory Filing fees, access to potential grant funding for non-clinical and clinical research to generate required data for marketing approval, and seven years of marketing exclusivity for a designated drug once approved by the FDA. (Orphan diseases are generally defined as those afflicting less than 200,000 people in the US.)

About Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder caused by an abnormality in the hemoglobin molecule. Patients with this disease often produce stiff, abnormally shaped red blood cells that sometimes do not flow freely through blood vessels. This can create clogs in the vessels, which in turn cuts off the flow of normal hemoglobin and oxygen to parts of the body, and can cause severe painful attacks, damage to various organs, and shortened life span. In the US, there are approximately 70-80,000 patients suffering with sickle cell disease, many of whom suffer unpredictable painful crises several times a year lasting a few hours to a week or more. In Nigeria, more than 4 million persons have the disease. Worldwide, approximately 12 million are believed to suffer from this disease.

About Xechem

Xechem International, Inc. is a development stage biopharmaceutical company whose focus and resources are currently being primarily directed toward the development and commercial launch of NICOSAN(TM) (to be marketed as HEMOXIN(TM) in the United States and Europe), which has shown efficacy in the prophylaxis management of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). In addition to NICOSAN(TM) and 5-HMF, Xechem is also working on anticancer, antiviral (including AIDS), antifungal, antimalarial and antibacterial products from natural sources, including microbial and marine organisms. Xechem\'s mission is to bring relief to the millions of people who suffer from these diseases. Its focus is on the development of phyto-pharmaceuticals (Natural Herbal Drugs) and other proprietary technologies, including those used in the treatment of orphan diseases.

The company plans to offer innovative and cost-competitive solutions, leveraging its extensive experience in mixed-signal and high-voltage design, complemented by its leading-edge proprietary BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, and DMOS) high-voltage process technologies.

"ST is implementing its strategy to become a major player in the mainstream high-end LCD TV market. The company plans to offer extremely competitive driver products, based around National's PPDS display architecture, together with our leading-edge process technology developed specially for the application, enabling manufacturers to meet their customers' expectations for performance, TV set appearance, and economy," said Philippe Berger, General Manager of ST's Display Division. "Additionally, ST has the dedicated display driver support teams that will work closely with manufacturers to ease the design process, and the necessary world-class and high-quality semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure to support large volume production in this fast growing market."

"National's PPDS technology is on track to become the new interface standard for LCD panels," said Todd Whitaker, product line director of National Semiconductor's Flat Panel Display group. "National is committed to driving widespread adoption of our PPDS technology by licensing to top tier semiconductor manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics."

STMicroelectronics and National Semiconductor plan to demonstrate National's differential signaling timing controller and column driver chipset at the ST booth (#1302) at the Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium in San Francisco from June 6-8. The SID conference is

the premier international gathering of scientists, engineers, manufacturers and users in the electronic-display industry.

About National's PPDS Technology

National Semiconductor developed the PPDS display interface standard to improve visual performance, lower system cost and provide increased flexibility in the design of LCD panels. Recognized by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) with a DesignVision award in 2005, National's PPDS technology is a migration from RSDS(R) (reduced swing differential signaling) technology to a new architecture capable of driving large LCD panels up to 90 inches in diagonal at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 lines (full high-definition).

Eltek Reports a 241% Growth in Net Income and a 26% Increase in Revenues for the 1st Quarter of 2006

PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, Jun 06, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eltek Ltd. (Nasdaq: ELTK):
-- Seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year organic revenue growth - Revenues increased to $ 9.3 million, up 26%

-- sixth consecutive quarter of profitability - Quarterly net income increased by 241% to $ 613 thousand in Q1 2006 from $ 179 thousand in Q1 2005

-- EPS of $ 0.09 per fully diluted share compare to $ 0.03 per fully diluted share in Q1 2005

-- New business , mainly in the U.S., leads Company to further expand its production capacity

Eltek Ltd. (Nasdaq: ELTK), the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced flex-rigid circuitry solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2006.

First Quarter 2006 Key Financial Highlights:

-- Revenues increased to $ 9.3 million, up 26%.

-- Quarterly operating income of $ 783 thousand, up 152%

-- Quarterly net income grew 241% to $ 613 thousand, or $ 0.09 per fully diluted share

-- EBITDA of $ 1.3 million in Q1 2006 compared to EBITDA of $ 1 million in Q1 2005

Eltek reported revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of NIS 43.4 million ($ 9.3 million) compared with NIS 34.4 million ($ 7.3 million) for the first quarter of 2005.

The increase in revenues is attributed to the gaining of new customers and new projects with existing customers.

Net income for the first quarter totaled NIS 2.9 million ($ 613 thousand), or $ 0.09 per fully diluted share compared with net income of NIS 839 thousand ($ 180 thousand), or $ 0.03 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2005. The first quarter of 2006 was the Company's sixth consecutive quarter of profitability.

Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek, commented: "Q1 was another strong quarter for Eltek, in which we managed to accelerate our continued organic revenue growth and reached new levels of profitability."

"During the quarter we won some highly contested tenders in Israel and continued to expand our global flex - rigid PCBs customer base, mainly in the U.S. As we are still at the very beginning of the incorporation process of our flex-rigid PCBs in the product lines of our new customers, we feel that we have only begun to scratch the surface of our sizable, high margin growth opportunities in the U.S. flex-rigid PCB space."

Amnon Shemer, CFO of Eltek commented: "We have had a very good start for 2006, as quarterly sales reached another new high in the first quarter and we grew our quarterly operating and net income by 152% and 241%, respectively, from the corresponding quarter in 2005."

"Our previously announced expansion of our high - end production capacity is proceeding on schedule, as we made additional investments in new advanced manufacturing equipment, hired new production employees and commenced the gradual expansion of our production facility. These carefully planned investments are expected to enhance our ability to meet our customers' growing demand for high-end serial production capacity," he added.

In the first quarter of 2006, Eltek had EBITDA of $1.3 million compared to EBITDA of $ 963 thousand in the first quarter of 2005. ELTEK uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business, and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

About the Company

Eltek is Israel's leading manufacturers of printed circuit boards, the core circuitry of most electronic devices. It specializes in the complex high-end of PCB manufacturing, i.e., HDI, multi-layered and flex-rigid boards. Eltek's technologically advanced circuitry solutions are used in today's increasingly sophisticated and compact electronic products.

20th Product Liability Lawsuit Dismissed Against TASER International

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jun 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices announced that the Circuit Court for the County of Saginaw, Michigan entered a judgment in favor of TASER International ordering the dismissal of the product liability lawsuit filed by Devica Thompson, et. al. against TASER International, Inc. This is the twentieth wrongful death or injury lawsuit that has been dismissed or judgment entered in favor of TASER International.
In the Court order granting TASER International's motion for summary disposition, the Court held that the plaintiff's complaint failed to state a legally recognized claim against TASER International as a matter of law and ruled that the Plaintiff was unable to prove that the ADVANCED TASER(r) M26 device was a cause of Mr. Thompson's death.

The Court stated that there was no dispute as to his immediate cause of death from metabolic and respiratory acidosis and noted that the autopsy report found high concentrations of lactic acid and carbon dioxide in Mr. Thompson's blood. The Court then stated that lactic acid is typically generated as a by-product of creating energy for muscle contractions without oxygen and held that "accepting as fact that some lactic acid can be produced by muscle contractions induced by a TASER, there is no evidence that this makes the M26's design inherently or unreasonably dangerous."

The Court then concluded "...Any attempt to pinpoint the TASER M26 as a 'but for' cause without which Thompson would have lived would involve nothing more than sheer speculation on the part of a jury. It is equally likely, if not more so, that Defendant's exertions in fighting with friends and officers that night generated more lactic acid than which his body was able to cope."

The Court also noted that Plaintiff's own experts did not conflict with TASER's theory of Mr. Thompson's death, "but explicitly acknowledges that the physical confrontations played an undeniable role in bringing about his acidosis."

In a very significant ruling, the Court also held that "it is equally possible the use of the TASER led to the release of less lactic acid than would have been produced naturally by the additional physical wrestling necessary to subdue an offender if use of the device had not been used."

In ruling that the TASER device was not defective out of a failure to warn, the Court held that there is no evidence that the device would have harmful effects on healthy individuals. The Court also held that, "No warning can guide the officer's discretion if the potential for harm only exists in an offender beset with unobservable latent physical ailments."

"We are very pleased that the Court held that the TASER device was not the cause of this unfortunate death and also to see judges accept the fact that early use of TASER technology to end a struggle is much safer and produces much less lactic acid than what would have been produced naturally by the additional physical struggle had the TASER M26 not been used," commented Douglas Klint, Vice President and General Counsel for TASER International. "The Court's opinion in the Thompson case is one of the first to rule as a matter of law that the TASER device is not the cause of death in cases involving metabolic or respiratory acidosis which is the primary cause of most in-custody deaths; and also to rule that TASER had met its duty to warn," concluded Klint.

"Our strategy of aggressively defending these product liability lawsuits is continuing to show results and we will relentlessly fight these lawsuits with the overwhelming medical and scientific evidence showing that the TASER device was not the cause of injury or death," concluded Klint.

Upon closing of the transaction, Onyx would operate as a separate business unit of Made2Manage Systems, whose unique operating model and focused business unit structure will be dedicated to serving the Onyx customer community through the continued sales, support and enhancement of the world-class Onyx product line.

Orlando Bravo, managing partner of Thoma Cressey Equity Partners, said, "We see an outstanding opportunity in the relationship between Onyx and Made2Manage Systems as consolidators of the CRM and ERP software markets."

Dave Tabors, general partner of Battery Ventures, said, "This acquisition is the ideal way for Onyx to pursue its vision as a leading supplier of enterprise-caliber CRM solutions to mid and large enterprise services-sector customers. We take a long-term perspective on Onyx's growth."

As previously announced, Piper Jaffray acted as financial advisor to Onyx in connection with the transaction and delivered a fairness opinion to Onyx's Board of Directors.

About the Transaction

In connection with the proposed acquisition, Onyx will file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Investors and security holders are advised to read the proxy statement, when it becomes available, and any other relevant documents filed by the SEC because they will contain important information about the acquisition and Onyx. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy statement, when available, and other documents filed by the company from the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov.

Texas Instruments 45-nm Chip Manufacturing Process Doubles Output per Wafer, Lowers Power and Boosts Performance Consumers to Have Better User Experience and Longer Battery Life in Portable Devices, More Applications Running Concurrently

HONOLULU, June 12, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Before the start of the prestigious 2006 Symposium on VLSI Technology, Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) (TI) unveiled details of a 45-nanometer (nm) semiconductor manufacturing process that leverages a "wet" lithography process to double the number of chips produced on each silicon wafer, increase processing performance and reduce power consumption. Through the use of numerous proprietary techniques, TI will drive the capabilities of its multi-million transistor, System-on-Chip (SoC) processors to new levels, increasing performance by 30 percent while reducing power consumption 40 percent.
"TI's strength in chip manufacturing has resulted in a cost-effective process that will deliver 45-nm products, like mobile phone processors and DSPs, that simultaneously address performance, power consumption and transistor density," said Dr. Hans Stork, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Texas Instruments. "This gives our customers early access to faster, smaller and lower power products and continues TI's track record of delivering millions of units from high yielding wafers ahead of the industry."

TI estimates that its 45-nm process and SoC integration capabilities will mean consumers can experience up to a 30 percent improvement in device speed, which can translate to more video frames per second for a better user experience on mobile phones. In addition, wireless users will be able to run more simultaneous applications such as a game with 3-D graphics in parallel to a video conference between the players, with e-mail synchronizing in the background. Other projections show that TI's 45-nm SoCs will reduce power by 40 percent, allowing longer video playback time and up to 30 percent longer cell phone stand-by time.

Emphasis on Lowering Power, Increasing Integration

The convergence of communications and computing on mobile devices, and the growing use of high performance multimedia, gaming and productivity applications, has pushed lower power consumption to the forefront of semiconductor technology advancement.

TI's 45-nm process leverages SmartReflex(TM) power and performance management technologies that combine intelligent and adaptive silicon, circuit design, and software to address these power management challenges. TI takes a system-level approach with SmartReflex technologies to extend the capability across an entire 45-nm SoC design, including adaptive hardware and software technologies that dynamically control voltage, frequency and power based on device activity, modes of operation and process and temperature variation.

The new TI process also supports the revolutionary DRP(TM) architecture to integrate digital RF functionality in single-chip wireless solutions. This SoC approach to wireless transmit and receive functions allows TI to apply its highly efficient CMOS manufacturing infrastructure to reduce overall system cost, reduce power consumption and free up board space. Other integration options in the TI 45-nm design libraries include a host of analog components such as resistors, inductors and capacitors that allow further SoC integration of formerly stand-alone functions.

Techniques Enhancing Performance, Density

For the first time, TI will implement the use of 193-nm immersion photo- lithography to accomplish density improvements that competitors using dry lithography at 45-nm are unable to achieve. The use of 193-nm immersion tools delivers the higher resolution and corresponding smaller device features needed to maximize the benefits of migrating to a new process. 193-nm immersion tools work by placing a thin layer of liquid between the lens and the wafer to ease the process of transferring smaller circuit designs.

The company's work in this area has resulted in the development of what it believes to be the smallest 45-nm SRAM memory cell, occupying only 0.24 square microns, up to 30 percent smaller than other 45-nm memory cell devices announced to date. Memory cells are often the first development vehicle for new manufacturing technologies and provide valuable data about transistor densities that will be achieved on complete SoCs.

Other improvements in how many transistors TI's 45-nm process can support on a chip can be attributed to the use of an ultra low-k dielectric that achieves a k value of 2.5, and reduces interconnect capacitance by 10 percent. This will be TI's third-generation process technology to use low k dielectrics for reducing capacitance and propagation delays within a device's interconnect layers, and boosting chip performance.

Maximizing Design Flexibility, Optimization

As with its previous generation process technologies, TI will offer several optimized 45-nm recipes to address the unique requirements of each end product or application. Through adjustments to the transistors' gate length, threshold voltage, gate dielectric thickness or bias conditions, and others, circuit designers have several options for creating flexible, optimized designs.

TI's low power 45-nm offering will extend battery life in portable products, while offering the performance to handle advanced multimedia functionality in a tightly integrated design. A mid-range process will support TI DSPs and TI's high performance ASIC library for communications infrastructure products. TI's highest performance 45-nm option supports MPU- class performance.

A collection of strain techniques will enhance transistor performance and minimize leakage for all three process versions of the process, including TI's first use of silicon-germanium in its strain application.

Finally, TI is considering techniques to cost-effectively enhance performance through use of a dual work function metal gate at some point in its 45-nm technology roadmap. Options include the use of full-silicidation- of-polysilicon (FuSI), or a combination of metal plus a silicide. Currently being explored for the highest performance process, TI believes leveraging a metal gate with continued use of proven, silicon nitrided dielectrics delivers the necessary power consumption control without having to simultaneously move to new, more complex high-k materials.

TI's 45-nm process will be manufactured on 300-mm wafers in the DMOS6 facility in Dallas, Texas. The low-power ASIC design library will be available by the end of this year, with samples of the first SoC product delivered in 2007 and initial production in mid-2008.

QUALCOMM Files Complaint Against Nokia with International Trade Commission

SAN DIEGO, June 12, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, announced that on Friday, June 9, 2006, it filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that Nokia Corporation and Nokia Inc. have engaged in unfair trade practices by the importation and sale of certain mobile telephone handsets, wireless communication devices and components that infringe one or more claims of six QUALCOMM patents. QUALCOMM has requested that the ITC institute an investigation into Nokia's infringing imports and ultimately issue an Exclusion Order to bar importation of those Nokia handsets and other products. QUALCOMM also seeks a Cease and Desist Order to bar further sales of infringing Nokia products that have already been imported and to halt the marketing, advertising, demonstration, warehousing of inventory for distribution and use of such imported products in the United States. The accused products include handsets for use in GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks.
QUALCOMM expects that the ITC investigation will commence in July and that the case will be tried in the first half of next year.

On November 4, 2005, QUALCOMM filed suit against Nokia Corporation and Nokia Inc. in federal court in San Diego for infringement of 11 of QUALCOMM's patents and one patent owned by SnapTrack. QUALCOMM's lawsuit alleges infringement of patents that are essential for the manufacture or use of equipment that complies with the GSM, GPRS and EDGE cellular standards (the GSM family of standards). Three of the patents included in QUALCOMM's ITC complaint are also being asserted in the San Diego litigation.

QUALCOMM has also sued Nokia for patent infringement in the United Kingdom. That lawsuit, commenced on May 24, 2006, alleges that Nokia's sales of products which are capable of operating in accordance with the GPRS and/or EDGE standards infringe two of QUALCOMM's patents in the U.K.

QUALCOMM has offered to license its essential patents for Nokia's GSM/GPRS/EDGE products under terms that are fair, reasonable and free from unfair discrimination. Nokia has refused this offer and continued to sell infringing products around the world, leaving QUALCOMM no choice but to enforce its patent rights through legal proceedings.

Ceragenix Compound Demonstrates Promising In Vitro Results Against Bladder Cancer

DENVER, Jun 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Ceragenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that in vitro research conducted at the Urology Clinic of the University of the Saarlandes, Germany has shown that one of Ceragenix's lead compounds was able to significantly inhibit bladder cancer growth with minimal toxicity to normal cells. Ceragenix plans to test this compound for efficacy in an animal model.
Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the United States with over 50,000 cases and over 12,000 deaths annually. According to the National Cancer Institute's Fact Sheet, over 449,000 Americans were living with bladder cancer in 2002. It is estimated that over 600,000 Americans are living with bladder cancer in 2006 and that number will continue to climb as our society ages. The recurrence rate for bladder cancer is 70 percent.

Ceragenix is developing a class of small molecule compounds that mimic the activity of the naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides that form part of the human body's innate immune system.

Dr. Jinguo Chen of the Department of Oncology, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Georgetown University Medical Center, writing in the June 2005 issue of Cancer Research about his research on an antimicrobial peptide found in the horseshoe crab, observed that:

"Small peptides represent a promising new group of compounds in the fight against cancer. Of particular interest are naturally occurring peptides that have antimicrobial activity, many of which also have antitumor activity."

Steven Porter, Chairman and CEO of Ceragenix stated: "Our compounds, while mimicking the activity of naturally occurring peptides are simpler to manufacture and are not subject to protease degradation. We look forward to moving this promising compound into animal studies in the next few months. If the compound shows continued promise we will seek a pharmaceutical partner with the experience to bring the drug to market."

About Ceragenins(TM)

Ceragenins(TM), or CSAs, are synthetically produced small molecule chemical compounds comprised of a sterol backbone with amino acids and other chemical groups attached to them. These compounds have a net positive charge that is electrostatically attracted to the negatively charged cell membranes of certain viruses, fungi and bacteria. CSAs have a high binding affinity for such membranes (including Lipid A) and are able to rapidly disrupt the target membranes leading to rapid cell death. While CSAs have a mechanism of action that is also seen in antimicrobial peptides, which form part of the body's innate immune system, they avoid many of the difficulties associated with their use as medicines.

About CERAGENIX

Ceragenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: CGXP) is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes novel anti-infective drugs based on its proprietary class of compounds, Ceragenins(TM) (or CSAs). Active against a broad range of gram positive and negative bacteria, these agents are being developed as anti-infective medical device coatings (Ceracides(TM)) and as therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant organisms.

Ceragenix further owns exclusive rights to Barrier Repair Technology for the treatment of dermatological disorders including atopic dermatitis, neonatal skin disorders and others. Ceragenix's patented Barrier Repair Technology, invented by Dr. Peter Elias and licensed from the University of California, is the platform for the development of two prescription topical creams--EpiCeram(R) and NeoCeram(R). Ceragenix recently received 510K marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its EpiCeram(R) Skin Barrier Emulsion to improve dry skin conditions and to relieve and manage the burning and itching associated with various dermatoses including atopic dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, radiation dermatitis, and other dry skin conditions by maintaining a moist wound and skin environment.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Jun 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMP) and Diamondhead Casino Corporation (OTCBB: DHCC) announced today that they have signed a letter of intent pursuant to which the parties intend to form a joint venture partnership to develop, build and operate a destination casino resort in Diamondhead, Mississippi.

"We believe a partnership with Trump Entertainment Resorts for this venture adds up to an ideal combination because of their experience, the value of the Trump brand, the location of our site on Interstate 10 and the vitality of the Gulf Coast market," said Deborah A. Vitale, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Diamondhead. "We have the land, the location and the desire to pursue a master plan for the entire tract that should not only enhance long term shareholder value, but which should significantly enhance the surrounding economy."

"As we renovate and re-brand our Atlantic City properties, we are also focused on our corporate development initiatives and expanding the Trump brand into new markets," said James B. Perry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. "We are excited about the prospect of bringing the Trump brand to the Gulf Coast, and we hope to join private and public entities in redeveloping the region. We believe that this is a great opportunity to create value for our company, our shareholders and the citizens of Mississippi."

The formation of a joint venture and development of this project are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, further due diligence and receipt of regulatory and other approvals and permits.

June 9 - Paramount Gold Completes the Purchase of the San Miguel Concession Group and Discovers the Montecristo II Zone

Paramount Gold Mining Corp. (OTC:PGDP) ("Paramount") is pleased to announce that payments of US$400,000 have been made ahead of schedule to complete the purchase of the San Miguel concession group located in the Guazapares Mining District, Chihuahua, Mexico. These 12 concessions cover old mines dating back to the 1620's, and more recent mine workings including the San Luis mine where the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company mined high grade gold and silver ore between 1958 and 1962, the San Jose silver zone and other bulk tonnage silver targets located along a 6 kilometer NNW trending zone of quartz and stockwork quartz veining.

Chris Crupi, President of Paramount Gold, stated, "Given the results to-date of our work program at San Miguel, including surface, underground, trenching and rock chip sample results, we chose to accelerate the payment schedule for the San Miguel concessions in order to expedite our earn-in equity interest in the project."

Paramount has just completed the twining of 3 old War Eagle drill holes on the La Blanca concession and 3 drill holes on the recently discovered Montecristo II breccia zone. These first set of drill results are expected in approximately three weeks. The La Blanca and Montecristo II are additional concessions that are adjacent to the original 12 San Miguel concessions. The Montecristo breccia zone was discovered while constructing drill roads and returned surface assays that include 7 metres averaging 259 g/t Ag with 0.21 gpt Au, 14 metres averaging 224 g/t silver and 7.4 meters averaging 163 g/t silver with 0.10 g/t gold.

"We have high expectations for the holes planned into the San Luis pipe or chimney, as these holes will intersect this high grade pipe beneath the old stopes developed above the water table. These holes will provide answers regarding size, shape, structural components and controls, as well as to determine the grade and size of the orebody that remains un-mined," commented Bill Reed, Paramount's Exploration Manager in Mexico.

Monster Mash

By Will Swarts
June 12, 2006
Monster Worldwide (MNST1)


Share price as of Friday's close: $42.00
Share price now: $38.60
Percent change: -8.1%
Volume: 7.3 million shares, daily average 1.7 million

The News
Investors gave shares of Monster Worldwide (MNST2) a pink slip Monday, sending them down 8.1% by the end of trading. The selloff was sparked by a report questioning the timing of stock options granted to employees of the online job advertiser. Management has launched an internal investigation.

Monster isn't alone under the stock-options microscope. Broadcom (BRCM3) and McAfee (MFE4) are among the latest to join the ranks5 of companies under scrutiny for allegedly backdating stock-option grants to maximize profits for the workers receiving them. Both Broadcom and McAfee are being looked into by the Securities and Exchange Commission; an SEC probe of Monster hasn't been announced. Any company found to have broken securities rules by manipulating stock purchase dates could be hit with significant penalties and be forced to restate financial results.

New York-based Monster, which at one time had a 50% market share for domestic online job ads, has seen its stock lose a third of its value since May 10, when it flirted with a five-year high of near $60. The Monday announcement of an internal investigation hastened the month-long slide.

The options grants in question mainly center on former executive and board member James Treacy, who left the company in 2002, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Treacy, now a New Jersey-based consultant, didn't return a phone call seeking comment.

Monster posted a notice of its in-house probe on its web site, but officials didn't provide details on the timing of the probe or offer further information on when any findings will become public.

"Monster Worldwide's broad-based stock option incentive plan was used as an effective tool to facilitate its growth," the statement read. "The option grants were used to attract and retain employees, to recognize individual performance and in conjunction with strategic acquisitions. Monster Worldwide sought to distribute option awards broadly throughout the organization."

The company beat Wall Street earnings estimates in the first quarter, posting a profit of 29 cents a share, two cents ahead of the average forecast of 27 cents compiled by Reuters Research. Analysts expect 2006 revenues of $1.2 billion, a 23% jump from last year, while expanding margins have Monster on track to earn $1.29 a share, a 41% increase from a year ago.

The Analysis
It's Monster's day in the barrel, but as the options-granting issue continues to attract attention, there'll be no shortage of corporate fish that draw the market's fire.

James Janesky, an analyst at Ryan Beck & Co., a Florham Park, N.J., investment bank, wrote Monday that it's too early to tell what will happen with Monster, and cautioned investors not to lose sight of the company's strengths.

"While we believe that this news will cause pressure on the stock price and could lead to a rash of downgrades, we remain focused on the company's fundamentals and would be buyers on any stock weakness," he wrote in a note published Monday. "We believe that Monster remains well positioned in the U.S. and global employment recoveries as it remains focused on its core Monster brand. While we do not take situations such as this lightly, we believe it is prudent to let the dust settle, as it remains unclear what the ramifications, responsibilities and/or punishment are in situations of options timing/backdating."

Ty Govatos, an analyst with C.L. King & Associates, a full-service brokerage in Albany, N.Y., wrote Monday in a research note that the allegations "will likely place a cloud over the company and have a short-term negative effect on the common [stock]."

However, it's hard to ignore the more serious pitfalls, from possible fines and criminal penalties for the company, top management, its board of directors and its executive compensation committee.

Treacy, the former executive, told the Journal that the grants in question, between 1997 and 2001, were all disclosed in company reports, and said the dates of the grants were selected by company founder Andrew McKelvey and the board's compensation committee.

"If options were issued at below market value that creates a taxable event," according to Janesky. "What could — and I really want to stress could — happen, is that if any company was found to have backdated options, they would have to restate past financial statements."

The Bottom Line
If other companies in the options swirl start facing criminal and civil penalties, then there's plenty of room for downside. But at this point it's just not possible to tell how all of this will play out. After all, there's no obvious limit on the number of companies that could still 'fess up to potential problems.

"My opinion is that stocks trade off the fundamentals of what's happening in the company, and that hasn't changed with the company conducting an internal investigation," wrote Janesky.

This news in itself isn't a problem for Monster unless, of course, it blossoms into a bigger, company-specific issue. A long legal case, for example, could be an expensive drag on Monster's amped-up growth rates, which are a major reason for its appeal on the Street. Just last Tuesday, Piper Jaffray analyst Brett Manderfield upgraded the stock to Outperform from Market Perform.

So for now, it might be a good time to buy.

"From a statistical standpoint, it could be an interesting opportunity for someone to capitalize on this turn of events," says Ashish Thadani, an analyst at Gilford Securities, a full-service brokerage in New York.

Anyone doing so, though, should be ready to get out quickly if the feds decide to make Monster roar.

Jabil Pre-Market Decline Gains Steam After Q3 EPS Warning; Stock Last Down $5 Or 16% At 27.20

Jabil Updates Quarterly Guidance

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jun 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jabil Circuit Inc (NYSE:JBL), said today it expects its fiscal 2006 third quarter revenue to be consistent with the range previously provided of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion and said it expects to achieve under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), earnings per share of approximately $0.26 to $0.30 cents per diluted share. Core earnings per share are expected to be $0.33 to $0.37 per diluted share versus its original guidance of $0.43. (Jabil defines core earnings as GAAP net income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring and impairment charges and other income/loss, net of tax. Jabil defines core earnings per share as core earnings divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares determined under GAAP. Jabil reports core earnings and core earnings per share to provide its investors with an alternative method for assessing earnings and earnings per share from what it believes to be its core manufacturing operations. See the supplemental information below.)
The shortfall in earnings versus previous guidance was driven primarily by operational issues within the company's electromechanical operations and with certain production and repair facilities in the America's region.

"We are disappointed with our financial performance in the third fiscal quarter of 2006 and are committed to improving our operational and financial performance," said President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy L. Main. "Despite these short-term challenges, we are optimistic about the future. Revenues continue to show strong growth and we continue to expect core earnings for the quarter and for the year to exceed prior year levels."

Retrospective Analysis of Allos Therapeutics' Phase 3 REACH Study Finds Positive Correlation between Patient Outcomes and EFAPROXYN(TM) (efaproxiral) Exposure in Patients with Brain Metastases from Breast and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers

WESTMINSTER, Colo., June 14, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTH) today announced the publication of new findings from its Phase 3 REACH study of EFAPROXYN (efaproxiral) plus whole brain radiation therapy in patients with brain metastases from various primary cancers. Results of the analysis, which were reported in the June 13th edition of the British Journal of Cancer (volume 94, issue 12), found that patients who achieved sufficient efaproxiral exposure to realize the desired pharmacodynamic effect saw clinically meaningful survival and response rate benefits.
Authors of the manuscript evaluated survival and response rate data from the REACH study in relation to efaproxiral exposure, as defined by red blood cell efaproxiral concentration and total number of doses. Patient outcomes were assessed based on primary tumor type and patient body weight. Patients who received at least 7 of 10 doses were categorized into high or low exposure groups based on their efaproxiral red blood cell concentration. Patients with efaproxiral concentrations of at least 483 mcg/mL were categorized to the high exposure group; patients with efaproxiral concentrations of less than 483 mcg/mL were categorized to the low exposure group.

Results of the analysis indicated that patients in the high exposure group demonstrated increased survival and response rates relative to patients in the low exposure group and control arm. For patients with brain metastases from breast cancer, the median survival time was 25.7 months for patients in the high-exposure group relative to 7.3 months for low-exposure patients and 4.47 months for control patients (p=0.0002 high exposure vs. control). Response rates in the breast cancer subset were 79.2%, 77.3% and 50.0% in the high-exposure, low-exposure and control groups, respectively (p=0.017 high exposure vs. control). Importantly, a majority of patients in the breast cancer subset achieved the target efaproxiral concentration of 483 mcg/mL, and thus demonstrated superior efficacy results. Likewise, patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were categorized to the high exposure group also demonstrated longer survival and better response rates relative to those with low exposure. Specifically, median survival time was 6.97 months for NSCLC patients in the high-exposure group relative to 4.73 months for low exposure patients and 4.37 months for control patients, (p=0.09 high exposure vs. control). Response rates for NSCLC patients were 55.8% 43.1% and 39.7% for the high-exposure, low-exposure and control groups, respectively, (p=0.046 high exposure vs. control). However, a majority of patients in the NSCLC subset did not achieve the target efaproxiral concentration of 483 mcg/mL, which may have contributed to the inferior efficacy results relative to the breast cancer subset.

"These findings suggest that patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer who receive adequate exposure to efaproxiral have the potential to achieve clinically meaningful survival and response rate benefits," said Michael E. Saunders, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development of Allos. "The information obtained from this analysis may, in part, account for the efficacy variance observed between primary breast and NSCLC patients in the REACH study and provides important insight into the therapeutic dosing requirements for future clinical development of efaproxiral in this patient setting."

A copy of the paper can be accessed at the British Journal of Cancer Web site, http://www.nature.com/bjc About EFAPROXYN

EFAPROXYN is the first synthetic small molecule designed to sensitize hypoxic, or oxygen-deprived, areas of tumors during radiation therapy by facilitating the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein contained within red blood cells, and increasing the level of oxygen in tumors. The presence of oxygen in tumors is an essential element for the effectiveness of radiation therapy. By increasing tumor oxygenation, the Company believes that EFAPROXYN has the potential to enhance the efficacy of standard radiation therapy.

About Allos Therapeutics, Inc.

Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTH) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The Company's lead product candidate, EFAPROXYN(TM) (efaproxiral), is a synthetic small molecule designed to sensitize hypoxic, or oxygen-deprived, tumor tissue during radiation therapy.

Goldinvestor.com: Pan American Gold Corporation Begins Work on the Huicicila Property PNAMF, FRG, KRY, REM

Jun 14, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Pan American Gold Corporation Begins Work on the Huicicila Property PNAMF, FRG, KRY, REM
Goldinvestor watch lists: (OTCBB: PNAMF), (TSXV: FRG), (TSXV: REM), (TSXV: KRY)





Pan American Gold Corporation (OTCBB: PNAMF) ("Pan American")is pleased to announce the appointment of mining industry veteran Alan Hitchborn to the board of directors.

Mr. Hitchborn brings over 27 years of experience in the gold mining industry covering all aspects of exploration, development, and production. During his career, Mr. Hitchborn has personally managed teams that have led to the discovery of 4 million ounces of gold resources and 80 million ounces of silver.

"We are extremely pleased to welcome Alan Hitchborn to the Pan American board. His credentials are impeccable and his very extensive experience in exploration and mine development should prove to be invaluable as Pan American works towards proving up resources at the Huicicila property in Nayarit State, Mexico," say Pan American President Steve Bajic.

"This is an exciting time for Pan American and its shareholders as we undertake what could be one of the most promising operations in our history," continues Bajic.

Mr. Hitchborn is a graduate of the Mackay School of Mines at the University of Nevada-Reno. He began his career with Amselco Exploration, Western USA, where he spent 7 years in various capacities. Next he moved to Placer Dome-USA where he was Chief Geologist for 8 years at the Bald Mountain Mine in Elko, Nevada. He then moved to Vancouver, B.C. and worked 3 years with Placer Dome Inc. as a Geostatistician and in-house expert consultant. For the passed 9 years, Mr. Hitchborn has been active in the junior exploration level including the last 7 years as Vice-President, Development for Kimber Resources Ltd. where he has been responsible for the discovery and development of the Monterde gold-silver deposit in Chihuahua, Mexico.









Royal Standard Minerals Inc.'s (TSXV:REM) Goldwedge project bulk sampling and test-mining program has been accelerated with the addition of 14 new employees. From that group, 10 are underground miners and two work on the surface, bringing the total work force to 22 active employees. Currently the decline advancement is progressing with a 20-hour-per-day double shift in an effort to achieve the desired underground development objectives. During this process detailed sampling of mined material (muck), ribs and face sampling, is routinely completed. This material is assayed by the company assayer on-site. Assay results are returned before noon of the following day for the previous day's sampling. Gold mineralized material is stockpiled separately for processing. Test drifting and crosscuts are carried out as the decline progresses to target potential mineralized zones, these crosscuts are also used as "muck bays," temporary mined-material storage near the active face of the decline development as a means to accelerative blast-material removal from the active face.

The company has added a number of new pieces of equipment including two additional underground scooptrams, bringing the total to four; two 15-ton underground trucks; two jumbo drills, for decline development; and an additional rubber tired loader.

This equipment is in addition to the existing five pieces of heavy equipment purchased last year.

Currently the company has more than 60,000 tons of gold-mineralized material on the surface in a stockpile to commence testing the on-site gravity plant. All of the proper arrangements have been completed with regulatory authorities to commence start-up of the plant by June 9, 2006. The process of plant operation will start with a single eight-hour shift and includes a night shift to complete the necessary repairs and modifications as this phase of the operation commences.

The company will use consulting expertise to assist in evaluating the effectiveness of the plant operation and gold recoveries during the start-up and initial operating phase








Crystallex International Corp. (TSXV:KRY) says its Las Cristinas gold project in Venezuela is on track despite a recent dip in the stock market prompted by news about that country's controversial political changes. Despite that declaration,

Crystallex stock traded down 10.15 per cent, or 33 cents, to Can$2.92 on the Toronto market Tuesday morning, with 1.3 million shares changing hands. The tumble came after media reports that, under proposed legislative changes, Venezuelan President

Hugo Chavez may seek to gain control of mining ventures that have not yet begun production.










Fronteer Development Group Inc. (TSXV: FRG) has closed its bought-deal short form prospectus offering pursuant to which the company sold six million common shares at a price of $6.40 per common share for total gross proceeds of $38.4-million. The net proceeds of the offering shall be used by the company to advance its exploration programs in Turkey, the Yukon and Mexico, for future acquisitions, and for general working capital.

"The oral presentation at The World Congress of Cardiology represents an ideal forum to communicate the full data set from the 2,400-patient ACCLAIM trial to the cardiology community, and the selection to present at this prestigious forum is reflective of both the strong interest in this landmark trial and the need for new therapeutic options for heart failure," stated Dr. Jay H. Kleiman, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Cardiovascular Development of Vasogen Inc. "I am also pleased to report, based on progress to date, that we remain on track to release the top-line results from the ACCLAIM trial later this month."

About the ACCLAIM Trial

The ACCLAIM (Advanced Chronic Heart Failure CLinical Assessment of Immune Modulation Therapy) trial enrolled 2,400 patients at 176 cardiac centers throughout North America, Europe, and Israel. The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to further assess the impact of Vasogen's Celacade technology on the risk of death and cardiovascular hospitalizations in advanced chronic heart failure patients and to support the regulatory approval process in North America and commercialization in North America and Europe.

The initiation of the ACCLAIM trial was based on the success of a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II trial in advanced chronic heart failure patients conducted at the Cleveland Clinic, Baylor College of Medicine, the Texas Heart Institute, and the University of Montreal. The key finding from the trial was a significant reduction in the risk of death (p=0.022) and all-cause hospitalization (p=0.008) for patients receiving treatment using Vasogen's Celacade technology compared to those receiving placebo treatments. Results also showed a significant reduction in the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality or any hospitalization in the Celacade group, compared to placebo (p(equal sign)0.005).

About Chronic Heart Failure

Chronic inflammation is now well recognized as an underlying mechanism contributing to the development and progression of heart failure. Chronic heart failure, most frequently resulting from coronary artery disease or hypertension, is a debilitating condition in which the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body is impaired. Patients with heart failure experience a continuing decline in their health, resulting in an increased frequency of hospitalization and in premature death. In North America and Europe, chronic heart failure affects over ten million people and is associated with more than 600,000 deaths each year. In the U.S. alone, the cost of medical care, primarily resulting from hospitalization, is estimated to exceed $25 billion annually.

Currently, there are no approved therapies that target the chronic inflammation underlying chronic heart failure.

About the European Society of Cardiology and The World Heart Federation

The European Society of Cardiology represents more than 45,000 cardiology professionals across Europe and the Mediterranean. Through a variety of scientific and educational activities, the society's mission is to improve the quality of life of the European population by reducing the impact of cardiovascular disease. The annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology is established as one of the largest scientific meetings in the world, where the most recent developments in risk evaluation, prevention, treatments and basic science are presented.

The World Heart Federation's major contribution to global health is to bring together its network of 190 member organisations, namely Societies of Cardiology and Foundations (representing the public and patients) with the aim of reaching and training public health and medical practitioners. Through advocacy, education, training and the sharing of the science, the World Heart Federation helps people achieve a longer and better life through prevention and control of heart disease and stroke, with a focus on low and middle-income countries.

About Vasogen:

Vasogen is focused on the research and commercial development of technologies targeting the chronic inflammation underlying cardiovascular and neurological disease. The Company is currently in the final stages of completing the international pivotal phase III ACCLAIM trial in 2,400 patients with advanced chronic heart failure. The ACCLAIM trial is a 176-center study designed to further investigate the use of Vasogen's Celacade(TM) technology to reduce the risk of death and hospitalization in heart failure patients and support regulatory approval in North America and commercialization in North America and Europe. Vasogen is also developing a new class of drugs for the treatment of neuro-inflammatory disorders. VP025, which has completed phase I clinical development, is the lead product candidate from this new class of drugs.

NicOx Receives WHO Acceptance of Naproxcinod as Generic Name for HCT 3012, First in a New Class of Treatments for Osteoarthritis

SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, France, June 19, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- NicOx S.A. (Eurolist: NICOX) today announced that the World Health Organization (WHO) has accepted the international non-proprietary (or generic) name naproxcinod for the molecule previously referred to as HCT 3012. Naproxcinod is the first product in a new class of molecules known as COX-Inhibiting Nitric Oxide- Donators (CINODs), which represent an innovative approach to the treatment of inflammatory pain. CINODs are proprietary new chemical entities, which are cleaved in the body to yield two complementary pharmacologically active ligands, a nitric oxide-donating moiety and a balanced COX-1/COX-2 inhibiting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID). Naproxcinod is currently in phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis with results of the first phase 3 trial expected in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The new non-proprietary name, naproxcinod, reflects the product's innovative multiple-ligand approach, which allows it to benefit from the gold standard anti-inflammatory activity of naproxen allied with the beneficial cardiovascular and gastro-intestinal effects of nitric oxide.

Damian Marron, Vice President of Corporate Development at NicOx commented: "We are very pleased with the World Health Organization's acceptance of the naproxcinod name, which reflects the innovative approach of the new class of CINOD compounds. This represents a major step in our pre-launch activities for this important product and is part of an overall global commercial strategy that is fully aligned with the ongoing phase 3 program."

NSAIDs represent the current standard treatment for millions of patients with osteoarthritis and other common conditions involving chronic pain and inflammation but are associated with undesirable side effects, such as raised blood pressure and gastrointestinal discomfort. NicOx is positioning naproxcinod as the drug-of-choice for osteoarthritis patients, particularly for those with co-morbid hypertension, based on its equivalent efficacy to existing NSAIDs and improved side effect profile.

NicOx (Bloomberg: COX:FP, Reuters: NCOX.PA) is a product-driven biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of nitric oxide- donating drugs to meet unmet medical needs. NicOx is targeting the therapeutic areas of pain and inflammation and cardio-metabolic disease. Resources are focused on two lead compounds, naproxcinod (formerly HCT 3012), in phase 3 development for the treatment of osteoarthritis, and NCX 4016, in phase 2 for Peripheral Arterial Obstructive Disease (PAOD). NicOx has strategic partnerships with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer Inc. and Merck and Co., Inc. NicOx S.A. is headquartered in Sophia-Antipolis, France, and is a public company listed on the Eurolist of Euronext Paris (segment: Next Economy).

Wall Street: Grüner Start in die Woche

Die US-Börsen haben die neue Woche mit grünen Pfeilen begonnen. Kurz nach der Glocke verbessert sich der Dow-Jones-Index um 40 Zähler, die Nasdaq legt um 8 Punkte zu.

Am einem Tag ohne Konjunkturdaten ist der Handelstrend offen. In den letzten Tagen haben die großen Indizes in einer unerwartet steilen Rallye einen großen Teil der jüngsten Verluste wieder aufgeholt. Mit einem konjunkturellen Dilemma – schwächeres Wirtschaftswachstum, Inflation und höhere Zinsen – muss sich der Markt aber weiterhin herumschlagen.

Die internationalen und auch die US-Börsen reagieren positiv auf ein Joint Venture zwischen Nokia und Siemens. Die beiden Unternehmen schließen ihre Telekomsparten zusammen und bilden so ein neues Schwergewicht auf dem Ausrüstermarkt. Die neue Firma, Nokia Siemens Networks, wird am finnischen Firmensitz von Nokia in Helsinki angesiedelt sein, mit einem Umsatz von fast 20 Milliarden Dollar in 2005 wäre sie so groß wie Ericsson und die noch im Merger befindliche Kooperation aus Alcatel und Lucent Technologies. Nokia Siemens Networks hofft auf jährliche Kosteneinsparungen von 1,5 Milliarden Euro und rechnet mit 9000 Entlassungen.

Zahlreiche Aktien der Branche steigen am Montag mit Nokia und Siemes, vor allem wegen Spekulationen um weitere Merger. Als nächste mögliche Übernahmeziele gelten Nortel Networks und Juniper Networks.

Ein weiteres Joint Venture im Telekommarkt schließt AT&T mit ein. Der Dow-notierte Branchenriese will im nächsten Monat den ersten gemeinsamen Servie mit EchoStar Communications anbieten. Gemeinsam mit dem Satelliten-TV-Betreiber will man Filme und Videos über Internet anbieten, wie das Wall Street Journal vorab meldet.

Die neue Woche beginnt an der Wall Street mit guten Quartalszahlen. Der Elektronik-Einzelhändler Circuit City hat es zurück in die Profitabilität gescafft. Nach einem Verlust von 13 Millionen Dollar im Vorjahresquartal verzeichnet das Unternehmen für die abgelaufenen drei Monate einen Gewinn von 6,4 Millionen Dollar oder 3 Cent pro Aktie. Analysten hatten nur mit einem Gewinn von einem Penny gerechnet. Zurückzuführen sind die starken Zahlen mit Umsatzzuwächsen von 14 Prozent vor allem auf die hohe Nachfrage nach hochauflösenden Fernsehern.

Die Aktie von Procter & Gamble profitiert zum Wochenstart von einer Aufstufung: Lehman Brothers setzt das Papier auf “Kaufen”. Es sei nun nicht mehr auf Perfrktion gepreist, heißt es, auch im Falle einer weniger als optimalen Umsatzentwicklung seien durchaus Kursgewinne möglich. Zudem sieht man in einem aktuell unsicheren konjunkturellen Umfeld Bedarf nach defensiven Aktien. Vor dem gleichen Hintergrund hatte bereits in der Vorwoche die UBS das Papier von PepsiCo aufgestuft.

Die Aktie von Intel wird bei der UBS auf „Kaufen“ gesetzt und bekommt ein Kursziel von 23 Dollar, zehn Prozent über dem bisherigen Ziel. Man glaubt an verbesserte Margentrends und eine allgemein stärkere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Branchenriesen im Chipbereich. Das Unternehmen blicke auf starkes Wachstum im Prozessorgeschäft und sei sowohl in den Umsatz- als auch den Kostenprognosen bis 2008 gut positioniert.

$5.2 billion + 5 years of construction 10,500 new jobs: Two nuclear reactors coming to Matagorda County

Jun 22, 2006 (Victoria Advocate - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- BAY CITY -- Two new nuclear reactors at the South Texas Project in Matagorda County will create at least 6,000 jobs during construction and 1,000 permanent jobs upon completion.
"Happy days are here again," said Bay City Mayor Richard Knapik after NRG Energy Inc. announced the plan Wednesday. "Every journey takes a first step. They have the confidence in STP. I'm just thrilled to be a part of it."

NRG, which is based in Princeton, N.J., filed a letter of intent on June 19 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to construct the two new reactors, increasing to four the number of reactors at the power plant.

The plant, which began operations in 1988, produces 2,500 megawatts of power.

Construction of the two units is expected to cost $5.2 billion and will be built using a new technology called Advanced Boiling Water Reactor, "the most advanced nuclear technology today," said David Crane, NRG's president and chief executive officer. "It is proven in design, proven in construction."

An application to build the two reactors will be filed with the NRC by the fall, said Joe Sheppard, chief executive officer and president of STP.

With approvals, construction may begin sometime in 2009, he said. The units will begin operation in 2014 with an additional capacity of 2,700 megawatts.

STP and the Public Utility Commission of Texas use different formulas for determining how many megawatts it takes to power an average household.

The power plant, on its Web site, estimates that its current reactors generate 2,500 megawatts that power 1 million households.

Paul Hudson, chairman of the PUC, said Wednesday that the new reactors, generating 2,700 megawatts, will power "well over 2.5 million average homes."

The PUC, a spokesman said late Wednesday, uses a liberal estimation, taking into account all sizes of homes using maximum power at peak usage time.

"Announcements like this one demonstrate that the investment climate in Texas supports multibillion dollar risks," Hudson said. The population in Texas is expected to double by 2040.

Sheppard said the fact that STP has a safe and reliable existing power plant operation allowed NRG to plan for the expansion of its nuclear power generation. Original building plans announced for the power plant in 1973 were for four reactors. Only two were built.

Plans to construct the new reactors are part of a larger plan by NRG to develop about 10,500 megawatts of new generation facilities over the next 10 years, Crane said. The facilities will be spread across at least seven states for a total investment of $16 billion, "with the largest investment here in Texas."

"(STP expansion) is in many ways the most ambitious of our development opportunities," Crane said, "but environmentally and economically, it is also the most compelling."

NRG is a 44 percent owner of the nuclear power plant.

Other owners are the city of Austin's Austin Energy with 16 percent, and the city of San Antonio's CPS Energy with 40 percent.

Admiralty Holding Company (OTCBB: ADMH) - Shares closed down 30.95% Thursday's price per share fell to $.029 and total volume was 583,958 shares. The Company announced that it has begun the surveying of the Mel Fisher Center Inc.'s permitted site known as Corrigan's Wreck. Already more than 100 "hits" have been registered by Admiralty's survey equipment and definite debris trails have been established. Some initial dives have also been conducted. Although Admiralty is still in the beginning stages and much more work will be required to finish the survey work, the Company is very encouraged by the early results. Admiralty believes that its work represents the first time that a systematic survey has been performed on this site utilizing equipment as sophisticated as the New World Legacy 's, although significant treasure has been recovered from the site by salvors in the past utilizing conventional shipwreck exploration and excavation equipment. Corrigan's Wreck is thought by many historians and salvors to contain the wreckage from the Nuestra Senora de la Regla. The Regla was the Capitana of the 1715 Fleet and would have likely been the lead ship in the fleet. It was also likely to have been the most heavily laden with treasure. Admiralty's initial survey results are confirming known "hits" and are also revealing new "hits" which were previously not marked.

Admiralty Holding Company , through its subsidiary, Admiralty Corporation, engages in testing and deploying proprietary detection technology that is used to locate and recover valuable cargoes from historic shipwrecks. The company has developed ATLIS, a detection technology, to locate, quantify, and differentiate among precious metals in a marine environment. It also conducts historical research on shipwrecks, principally those from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries in partnership with governments, marine archaeologists, and other nautical and maritime experts. Admiralty Holding has strategic alliances with the Center for Maritime & Underwater Resource Management; Mount McGovern Co., Ltd.; Georgia Tech Research Corporation; and Corazon a' Corazon. The company, formerly known as Ruby Mining Company, was founded in 1971. It changed its name to Admiralty Holding Company in November 2005.








Senticore, Inc. (OTCBB: SNIO) - Shares gained 12.50%on Thursday, trading 1,387,757 shares. Price per share climbed to $.018. The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrative Health Technologies Inc. (IHT), describes how its four portfolio companies are working together to conduct a $1,286,897 study to develop and market a bone-health program for adolescents and adults. The grant, jointly funded by AlgaeCal International and IHT prior to its merger with Senticore, involves 400 subjects and is being conducted by investigators from two major universities. The study is in response to a "call to action" issued in the U.S. Surgeon General's (SG) 2004 Bone Health report citing studies that 85% of adolescent girls and 65% of boys do not consume sufficient calcium and bone building nutrients for normal bone growth. The SG reported that the lack of adequate nutrition during these critical bone-building years has placed America's bone health in jeopardy. The Report encourages development of programs to increase bone health by improving diets, increasing physical activity, and improving "health literacy" and to " ... get started by taking action today in homes, health care settings, and communities across our nation ... you are never too old or too young to improve your bone health," pointed out the SG. After completion of the pilot studies refining the plan, formal clinical trials began in early 2006 involving 400 subjects, including adults, adolescents and children. Subjects completed self-reports, bone density x-rays (DEXA), and 43 blood chemistries at baseline, and will complete the same tests after 90-days, 6-months, one-year and five-years. "In addition to the benefits derived from the research data," said Samuel Keith, CEO of the Research Center, "the children, adolescents and adults are all being provided with comprehensive test reports of their bone density and blood chemistries whose cost would be prohibitive to most of our subjects."

Senticore, Inc. is focused on the acquisition of diverse businesses and real estate within various industries such as timber and logging, residential & commercial real estate, land development projects, and gaming.

Wall Street Capital Funding LLC: Hot Stocks to Watch! June 27, 2006

Weston, FLA., Jun 27, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Lucas Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: LUCE), Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR), Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (OTC: PGPM), Genoil Inc. (OTCBB: GNOLF) and Petrogen Corp. (OTCBB: PTGC)





Once again, aggressive investors and day traders should be watching Lucas Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: LUCE) this morning! The stock just recently began trading and yesterday after the stock markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing the successful revitalization of Kuntschik No. 2 well which as of Sunday, June 25, 2006 is now producing 58 barrels of oil per day.
News of the successful revitalization should get the attention of investors! Lucas Energy, Inc. acquired the well, along with the Kuntschik No. 1 well, in June 2005. At the time of purchase, the Kuntschik No. 2 well was producing low or minimal oil volume.

Lucas Energy's revitalization team, headed by Lucas Energy Chief Operations Officer, William A. Sawyer, discovered the kick off point (KOP) for the lateral was too high, and consequently ran into the shale above the Austin Chalk. The shale had swollen and sloughed into the lateral closing off the production flow to the main wellbore. The revitalization team cleaned out the lateral and put a liner in the upper part of the lateral to seal off the shale interval.

Continue to watch this company! Lucas Energy CEO James Cerna, Jr. previously stated, "Our expertise lies in our ability to identify and revitalize under performing properties. We expect the Kuntschik No. 2 well to match or exceed Kuntschik No. 1 within thirty days after the flush production is over."

The Kuntschik No. 2 well is completed in the Austin Chalk formation and is located in Gonzales County, Texas. It has a vertical depth of approximately 8000 feet and a 1300 foot lateral extension.

Wall Street News Alert is continuing to place Aggressive Investors on alert to monitor the progress of Lucas Energy! Last week, the company announced its acquisition of a 100.86 acres oil and gas property: the Mahlmann Lease Prospect (Big Creek Dome Area), located in Fort Bend Country, Texas. The Big Creek Dome field was discovered by Gulf Oil and The Texas Company (Texaco) in the late 30's and has produced over 7.9 million barrels of oil and more than 2 Bcf of gas from primarily wells at above 2,000 feet.

Prior to the latest press release, the stock closed yesterday at $2.30 a share.

For an in-depth profile of Lucas Energy, Inc., visit http://www.thenewssvc.com/LUCE062606.html
In case you are not familiar with the company: Lucas Energy is an oil and gas company with a growing portfolio of high value oil and gas assets in the United States. Founded in 2004, Lucas Energy began by identifying underdeveloped oil and gas operations that represented strong potential for development. In May of 2005, the company completed its first acquisition, located in the Pilgrim Field, Gonzales County, Texas. The Company's headquarters are located at 3000 Richmond Avenue, Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77040.












Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR) up 0.6% on 945,000 shares traded.

Murphy Oil Corporation recently announced a discovery at the Thunder Bird prospect located in Mississippi Canyon Block 819. The development options for the discovery have not been finalized, but the oil found at Thunder Bird will likely be produced as a subsea tie-back to a facility nearby. Murphy owns a 37.5% working interest in the field and serves as operator; partners are Dominion Exploration & Production, Inc., a subsidiary of Dominion Resources (NYSE: D), 25%; Hydro Gulf of Mexico, L.L.C., 25%; and Marubeni Offshore Production (USA) Inc., a subsidiary of Marubeni Corporation, 12.5%.











Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (OTC: PGPM) up 11.7% on 350,000 shares traded.

Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation is an independent oil and gas company. Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation recently announced the commencement of a program to re-enter and rework 23 wells previously shut in on its Meldon White property, located in Archer County, Texas. These wells, originally drilled by Tillman Oil Company will be re-opened to add to the production of approximately 1800 barrels per month from the wells on this lease that have been previously drilled.

The company hopes to reestablish production at the rate of 5 wells per month and anticipates production of 4 to 7 barrels of oil per day from each well. This would add at least 250 barrels per day when the project is completed, or 7500 barrels per month. However this figure will not include new wells to be drilled in the same area.











Genoil Inc. (OTCBB: GNOLF) up 2.3% on 224,000 shares traded Genoil is a technology development company providing solutions to the oil and gas industry through the use of proprietary technologies. Genoil Inc. recently reported that David Kippen has joined the Corporation in a consulting capacity as a financial advisor.

Genoil's Chairman & CEO David Lifschultz states that "Genoil is excited to have been able to attract someone of Kippen's caliber who has over $38 billion of transaction experience over the last few years at some of the premier Wall St firms. We are confident that he will help us to execute on key strategic initiatives for the company."















Petrogen Corp. (OTCBB: PTGC) down 6.9% on 189,000 shares traded Petrogen Corp. is a upstream energy company specializing in the development of natural gas properties in the Texas Gulf Coast region with known hydrocarbon reserves. Petrogen Corp. recently announced that it has initiated plans to recommence the ongoing natural gas development operations at Emily Hawes Field, Calhoun County, Texas (the "Lease").

The Company, along with Petroleum Engineers Incorporated (PEI) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tradestar Services, Inc. have been developing Petrogen's operations plan to spud the Emily Hawes #1A sidetrack well (EH#1A) at the Lease within the summer months of the 2006 Matagorda Island drilling season. The planned drilling of the EH#1A marks the Company's move in continuing its developments and exploitation of the known gasbearing Miocene Sands on the Lease. Petrogen successfully drilled the EH#3A well at Emily Hawes Field, which was completed in the Miocene Sands during the summer months of 2005. Natural gas sales from the EH#3A well have been made since that time.

Commentary: "Investors and analysts are keeping a close eye on the Fed this week as most expect an increase of .25 basis points to 5.25%, some say .50 basis points, will be announced this Thursday. The Commerce Department said unexpected rise in new home sales for May to 4.6%, seasonally adjusted to 1.234 million units, surprised analysts and economists, who had predicted a slump. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell 3/32 to 99 3/32 yielding 5.24% after the housing data," Stated Sonja Rudd

Marvell buys Intel unit for $600 million

Jun 27, 2006 (Globes - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- Marvell Technology Group (Nasdaq: MRVL) and Intel Corp (Nasdaq: INTC) today announced that Marvell is acquiring Intel's communications and application processor business, including facilities in Israel, for $600 million, plus the assumption by Marvell of certain liabilities. The deal is expected to be closed within 4-5 months.
The joint press release says that Intel currently intends to receive the entire purchase price in cash, but has the option to take up to $100 million of the $600 million purchase price in Marvell shares. When the sale is closed, Marvell may record a one-time charge for purchased in-process R&D expenses. The amount of that charge, if any, has not yet been determined.

Intel's communications and application processor business mainly consists of Israeli company DSPC, which Intel bought in 1999 for $1.6 billion. DSPC deals in digital signal processors for wireless communications. It was founded by Davidi Gilo.

Marvell said it intended to use the purchased unit to expand its share in the growing market segment for processors used in smart handheld devices.

Marvell chairman, president and CEO Dr. Sehat Sutardja said, "Marvell and Intel have built a very strong relationship over the past six years and we are very excited to work closely with Intel in transitioning this business into Marvell."

Intel executive VP and general manager, Mobility Group Sean Maloney said, "In recent years, Intel has made significant progress and won major customers with this business. The communications and application processor segments continue to present an attractive market opportunity, and we believe this business and its assets are an optimal fit for Marvell."

The companies said that Intel intends to continue manufacturing products currently sold by this business for handheld devices and embedded applications, and to manufacture products that are being designed into upcoming devices. This arrangement is expected to continue while Marvell arranges other manufacturing resources. Intel and Marvell do not anticipate disruptions in the supply of these products due to this planned sale.

Shares up an impressive $3.43 to a high of $16.20 on the Nasdaq Tuesday. Momentum comes as Micronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ - News) today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 ("FY2006"). The results of Stealth Microwave, Inc. are included from the acquisition date of June 10, 2005.

Net sales were $8,617,786 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $4,901,747 or 132% as compared to $3,716,039 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. For FY2006, the Company reported net sales of $26,908,611 as compared to net sales of $14,059,497 for FY2005, an increase of $12,849,114 or 91%.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of $942,110 or $0.19 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $476,957 or $0.11 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

For FY2006, net income was $2,539,583 or $0.54 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $1,275,276 or $.29 per diluted share for FY2005, an increase of $1,264,307, or 99%.

David Robbins, Micronetics' President and CEO stated, "The record increase in revenue for FY2006 of approximately $12.8 million is primarily attributable to three products. Stealth's sales of high performance power amplifiers to the commercial market since Micronetics acquired them accounted for almost $10.0 million of the increase. Also driving the revenue increase were shipments for our microwave subsystems, which are part of a fully integrated antenna system that receives Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) television signals and distributes them to an in-flight entertainment system. We also increased shipments of noise generators to the US Army's Communications-Electronics Command for use on the Satellite Teleport program.

Our balance sheet continues to strengthen. Cash was $5.3 million at the end of fiscal 2006, compared to $2.4 million at March 31, 2005. Although our debt level increased to $6.7 million to finance the Stealth acquisition, we generated $5.7 million in cash from operations in the current fiscal year, compared to $900,000 in fiscal 2005.

We are pleased with our financial performance in fiscal 2006, and we anticipate continued growth in our high performance power amplifiers, and our commercial DBS programs in fiscal 2007."

Micronetics manufactures microwave and radio frequency (RF) components and integrated subassemblies used in a variety of defense, aerospace and commercial applications. Micronetics also manufactures and designs test equipment and components that test the strength, durability and integrity of communication signals in communications equipment. Micronetics serves a diverse customer base, including Aerosat, Airspan, BAE Systems, Boeing, EADS, IP Wireless, ITT, L-3 Communications, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Qualcomm, Raytheon, Teradyne, Tektronix and Thales. Micronetics also operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Enon Microwave, Inc.; Microwave & Video Systems, Inc.; Microwave Concepts, Inc. and Stealth Microwave, Inc. Additional information can be found on our website at http://www.micronetics.com.

The accuracy of these statements cannot be guaranteed as they are subject to a variety of risks, including but not limited to reductions in spending by certain of our customers, our ability to operate and integrate acquired companies, our ability to manage our growth, disruptions in supply or production, increased levels of debt, our ability to protect our proprietary information, future economic conditions in our industry and generally, as well as other factors. The information in this release should be reviewed in conjunction with Micronetics' Annual Report for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

Poor Reception

By Will Swarts
July 5, 2006
Trident Microsystems (TRID1)


Share price as of Monday's close: $19.29
Share price now: $15.96
Percent change: -17.3%
Volume: 6.4 million shares, daily average 2.2 million

The News
Beware a slow day in the markets, but be ready to make the most of it. Despite a Wednesday rating downgrade adding to a list of woes for Trident Microsystems (TRID2), which shed 17.3%, investors with a little risk tolerance could find a bargain here.

Thomas Wiesel Partners dropped the stock to Peer Perform from Outperform on reports that it had lost market share, driving down shares of the maker of integrated circuits for digital televisions, liquid-crystal-display televisions, and digital set-top boxes.

Investors fled the stock, as concerns about the progress of competitors such as Broadcom (BRCM3) and Genesis Microchip (GNSS4) added to other worries, particularly Trident's potential liabilities over the timing of stock-option grants to its top executives and a general lack of enthusiasm over the semiconductor sector.

"The overall semiconductor market enters the summer in a state of nervous trepidation," writes Quinn Bolton, an analyst with Needham & Co., a New York investment bank, in a June 27 note on the sector. "Demand remains soft in the PC markets, and evidence of a slowdown in mobile handsets has mounted over the past six weeks. Inventory levels in the LCD panel segment have increased, putting pressure on panel prices."

A kink in the supply chain already prompted investor wariness, adds Tayyib Shah, an analyst at Longbow Research, an independent equity-research firm in Cleveland. In a research note published Monday, he said 70% of electronics retailers reported flat month-to-month sales of flat-screen computer monitors, and said television panel display unit makers had built up inventories in the quarter ended June 30. That doesn't mean they'll sell, though.

"We think that this year TV [manufacturers] will delay the build of TV inventories ahead of the year-end holidays to the latest possible moment, in order to avoid buying LCD panels at current prices when they can buy them cheaper a short time later," Shah wrote.

Coupled with these uninspiring market conditions, Trident's prominent role in the expanding inquiries about when top management was granted stock options isn't helping in some investors' eyes, says Craig Berger, an analyst at Wedbush Morgan, a Los Angeles investment bank. The Securities and Exchange Commission and local district attorneys in several states are investigating companies that appear to have issued options after a rally in a company's stock price, but allegedly set the grant date and exercise price for those options before the rise in price to boost the options profits.

Trident is "clearly in crosshairs of options backdating issues," he says. According to Reuters, 83% of the options grants in question at Trident showed a profit, among the highest percentage of the several dozen companies that have either been informally investigated by the SEC or have conducted internal investigations at the agency's behest. Other companies on the list include Apple Computer (AAPL5), Broadcom, M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers (FLSH6), Rambus (RMBS7) and Zoran (ZRAN8).

The Analysis
While some investors may need to shy away from companies under the ever-expanding options-grant cloud, other concerns over Trident's outlook are a bit misplaced, and this dip is a great chance to swoop in and pick up shares on the cheap.

Since the stock has been pummeled over the past three months, losing almost 50% of its value from an April 19 peak of $31.49, it will take a little nerve to make the call, but the signs for an upturn are there, analysts say.

Trident's biggest customers are Sharp, Sony (SNE9) and Samsung, and worries about lost market share are a bit overblown, says Vijay Rakesh, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co.

"What you're seeing is an overreaction to a weaker technology outlook," he says. "While Broadcom has been a player in the TV space since 2004, it has not been in any material volume. It's highly suspect that they can come in overnight and take up the market."

He says Trident's top line is expected to grow between 70% and 80% in the fiscal year. "It's probably the best story out there, compared to Genesis or Pixelworks (PXLW10), Rakesh says.

Wall Street earnings estimates for fiscal 2007, which began this month, have Trident growing 50% from this year, to 99 cents a share, according to Thomson First Call.

The Bottom Line
The options-grant issue remains potentially expensive, time-consuming and will scare off some institutional investors, says Wedbush Morgan's Berger. But market trends in flat-screen TVs are the most important part of Trident's near-term story.

Prices for flat-panel display units have dropped significantly, particularly in the popular 32-inch size, he says. The average cost of a display unit has slipped from $550 to $390, driving prices for finished 32-inch sets from about $1,400 to $975, he says. That's the biggest price drop the market will see for some time, which means manufacturers and buyers alike may end their waiting game as retailers sell off existing inventories made at higher prices.

"I frankly think you want to buy these things when people hate them the most, and people hate the LCD supply chain right now," Berger says. "We're set to inflect seasonally and cyclically for the entire supply chain in the second half of the year, particularly in the August quarter."

The options grants may result in restatements of results from pervious years, most likely between 1999 and 2003, he says, but that's not going to have much of an impact on current business activity.

"My response is, [if that happens], is that going to change how many TVs are people going to buy?" he says. "I don't think so."

So tune in, but be prepared for some flickering before the picture gets sharp.

Hitachi Ltd: Hitachi Data Systems ushers in the next wave in data protection with Virtual Tape Library solutions for tiered storage environments Customers gain the benefits of tape with the unparalleled performance and reliability of Hitachi Disk-bas

Stoke Poges, London, Jul 10, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Hitachi Data Systems, provider of Application Optimized Storage(tm) solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT), today introduced Virtual Tape Library (VTL) by Hitachi Data Systems. Virtual Tape Library by Hitachi Data Systems is a new approach to optimised data back-up and protection made available through a global re-seller agreement with Diligent(tm) Technologies. As part of Hitachi's Application Optimized Storage solutions approach - which matches specific application requirements with storage attributes - the new solution comprises scalable enterprise-class offerings that emulate tape libraries, enabling existing backup applications to use disk, rather than tape, as their backup medium.
This VTL solution for both mainframe and open systems environments allows customers to enjoy all the advantages of disk-to-disk backup without having to make changes to their existing backup environment, policies, or procedures-with a lower total cost of ownership than conventional tape library technology. Featuring Diligent's ProtecTIER(tm) VT with HyperFactor(tm) data de-duplication technology, this VTL solution eliminates redundant data while maintaining 100 percent data integrity-radically reducing physical storage needs by up to 25 times or more.

"Fidelity National Financial has a requirement to keep our applications online 24x7, 365 days a year - with no exceptions," said Alan Howitson, Senior Storage Engineer at Fidelity National Technology Services. "The Virtual Tape Library by Hitachi Data Systems enabled Fidelity to create backups of its databases without taking the applications offline - saving us time, money and most importantly, any potential negative impact on our customers. We reviewed other solutions and made the decision to go with the Hitachi Data Systems Virtual Tape Library because of the level of reliability and scalability it offers."

The Benefits of Tape with the Performance and Reliability of Disk As organisations look to move beyond tape - currently the predominant storage medium for long-term retention-utilising disk storage technology for backup and recovery operations has become an attractive method of improving reliability, reducing backup windows, achieving greater data throughput performance and ensuring rapid recovery. Until now, however, the migration to current disk-based solutions causes disruption and costly downtime in legacy IT systems.

The new VTL solution by Hitachi Data Systems requires no changes to existing backup policies, practices, or procedures. Because the virtual tape solutions appear to the backup application as one or many real tape libraries, the backup application accesses drives, robotics, and cartridges just as it would a physical tape library. Since the data actually resides on disk, users experience dramatic improvements to backup and recovery operations.

"Through our tiered storage solutions, we have helped our customers save time and money by enabling them to integrate less expensive storage tiers and improve overall utilisation in their storage environments," said Jack Domme, senior vice president, Global Solutions Strategy and Development, Hitachi Data Systems. "We are providing the same expertise for tape customers that are looking to improve efficiencies with disk technology. Virtual Tape Library by Hitachi Data Systems is yet another proof point in how we are changing the way our customers think about storage solutions and fundamentally altering the way they interact with, secure and store their valuable data assets for the long-term."

"This is an outstanding opportunity for two forward-looking market leaders to work together and deliver unique enterprise-class data protection solutions to the storage market," said Doron Kempel, chairman and CEO, Diligent Technologies. "By integrating our Data Protection software solutions into Hitachi's offerings, Hitachi is able to offer their customers a proven, best in class, true enterprise scale solutions, as a means to cut redundant data, improve efficiency, and cut costs from overall IT infrastructure. The combination of ProtecTIERwith Hitachi's offerings allows end-users to economically utilise disk throughout the data-protection process. At the same time, the agreement significantly expands Diligent's worldwide sales and support footprint for the industry's leading data de-duplication technology."

"We've studied tape processing extensively and we're here to say that tape isn't going away, but it can be improved and that's exactly what Diligent and Hitachi Data Systems have done...improved tape processing," said Dianne McAdam, director, Enterprise Information Assurance, The Clipper Group. "VTF Mainframe is a time proven product that allows enterprises to add disk-based backup to their environment without requiring changes to their backup processes. Hitachi Data Systems, who at one point sold and supported mainframe servers, has years of experience understanding the business and operational needs of large enterprises with mainframes. Between these two companies, there is a wealth of z/OS experience."

Innovative Storage Back-Up Solutions "Today more than ever, it is imperative that companies have a reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient way to back up their data with little downtime or disruption to existing architectures," said Scott Robinson, chief technology officer of Datalink, an information storage architect.

"We have been deploying Diligent Technologies' VTL technology-the foundation of Hitachi Data Systems' new solution-for three years with exceptional results. We are impressed with how this solution provides our customers with new levels of data storage reliability, capacity, efficiency and cost-savings."

"We are seeing VTL becoming a requisite part of the backup ecosystem," said Tony Asaro, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Large enterprise companies trust Hitachi Data Systems to provide them with storage solutions and VTL is an important addition to their portfolio of products. The Diligent VTL provides a scalable solution that offers data de-duplication, which we believe is one of the most important and compelling technologies in the market today. The fact that Hitachi has embraced a VTL solution that reduces capacity requirements for backup data indicates that they want to solve customer problems and not force them to buy more hardware."

"The biggest and perhaps most critical data management process within any IT operation continues to be the back-up of enterprise data," said John Webster, senior analyst and founder, Data Mobility Group. "Hitachi Data Systems and Diligent have partnered often in the past to deliver virtual tape solutions that now leverage both companies' significant contributions to state-of-the-art data backup and restoration."

Hitachi Data Systems offers Virtual Tape Library Solutions with VTF(tm) Open, and ProtecTIER VT for Open Systems environments; and VTF Mainframe for mainframe environments.

Merger shouldn't raise costs: Natural gas company deal might have long-term effects on Ohio, though

Jul 11, 2006 (The Akron Beacon Journal - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- A merger of the parent companies of two natural gas marketers announced on Monday shouldn't affect the thousands of Ohio customers with contracts, officials with both companies said.
WPS Resources Corp. of Green Bay, Wis., agreed to buy Peoples Energy Corp. of Chicago for stock worth about $1.52 billion in a deal that will create a company with regulated utilities serving four Midwest states and nonregulated businesses in the Northeast and Canada.

The combined company would have assets of $9.2 billion and combined revenue of $5 billion, based on 2005 sales. Those numbers would have made the merged firm a Fortune 500 company.

Its regulated electric and natural gas operations will serve about 1.6 million natural gas customers and 477,000 electric customers.

WPS Resources' shareholders will own about 57.6 percent of the combined company, and Peoples Energy shareholders will own about 42.4 percent.

A new name for the combined company out of Chicago has yet to be determined.

The regulated electric and natural gas operations for the two companies are not in Ohio. But the nonregulated subsidiaries, WPS Energy Services and Peoples Energy Services, both have natural gas customers in Northeast Ohio.

Customers of those two subsidiaries should not notice any difference, said Darrell Bragg, vice president of WPS Energy Services.

"We're already a low-priced competitor," said Bragg, whose office is in Worthington. "We're just going to be bigger and stronger."

Similarly, about 2,000 customers of Peoples Energy Services, which started marketing in the Dominion East Ohio territory in late spring, will keep the terms of their contracts, said Wendy Ito, director of finance and administration, in Chicago.

The merger is expected to close in early 2007. Until then, both companies will continue their own marketing.

The merger comes on top of news of another consolidation. Later this summer, about 100,000 natural gas customers of Shell Energy Services of Houston will become customers of MXenergy of Stamford, Conn. MXenergy also will honor Shell contracts.

Consolidation in the industry is always a concern because that means there are fewer competitors, Ohio Consumers' Counsel Janine Migden-Ostrander said.

While Ohio still has a healthy market of natural gas competitors, the state does not want to get to a point where mergers will hurt consumer choice and prices, she said.

"In essence, we just lost two (marketers)," said the state's residential utility advocate. "While that may reinforce their resources, I'm hoping they'll be able to provide better prices for consumers. We'll have to see in time."

Celera Discovers Gene Variants Strongly Associated with Alzheimer's Disease; Findings Could Lead to New Diagnostics and Targeted Therapeutics Research Published in Human Molecular Genetics and Presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer's

ROCKVILLE, Md., Jul 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Celera Genomics (NYSE:CRA), an Applera Corporation business, today announced the publication of data from its research studies showing that variants in the death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) gene on human chromosome 9 correlate strongly with risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. These research findings were presented today at the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease 2006 in Madrid, Spain, and will appear in the August 2006 edition of Human Molecular Genetics, currently available online at http://hmg.oxfordjournals.org/papbyrecent.dtl.
In Celera's research studies, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in DAPK1 that showed significant association with late-onset Alzheimer's disease in an analysis of up to six research sample sets with a total of 2,012 cases and 2,336 controls. In addition to the genetic finding, this research study also showed that the disease-associated SNPs directly or indirectly modulate the expression of the DAPK1 gene. This observation provides a potential biological explanation for the association of the DAPK1 variants with Alzheimer's disease.

"This research study provides valuable insights into the genetic contribution to Alzheimer's disease," said Michael Owen, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Cardiff University, United Kingdom, and a co-author on the paper. "The DAPK1 gene has been a target for drug discovery in other diseases, and a variety of drug compounds can now be tested for their effect on learning and memory in animal models of Alzheimer's disease."

DAPK1 is an enzyme involved in the programmed cell death cascade and evidence suggests that one of its functions is to control the death of nerve cells, and it is predominantly expressed in regions of the brain, such as the hippocampus and cortex, that are most severely affected by Alzheimer's disease. Increased DAPK1 activity or expression has been observed in nerve cell death, and nerves lacking DAPK1 are less susceptible to cell death in cell cultures and in certain animal models. Other evidence suggests that DAPK1 expression is indirectly modified by levels of the precursor form of the protein that forms the senile plaques that are characteristic for Alzheimer's disease. Another recent study reported that mice without DAPK1's kinase activity are more efficient learners and have better spatial memory than normal mice (Yukawa et al. 2006). DAPK1 is therefore believed to be an excellent biological candidate gene for contributing to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

These research findings are the latest in a series of research discoveries made by Celera and its collaborators regarding Alzheimer's. In the past year, Celera's scientists identified novel genetic variants in a homologue of the RPS3a gene (American Journal of Human Genetics, Grupe et al., 2006), the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPD) gene (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Li et al., 2004) and also in the amyloid beta precursor protein binding family B, member 2 (APPB2) gene (Human Mutation, Li et al, 2005). The previously reported associated markers and this marker in DAPK1 each consistently show an involvement in apoptotic cell death shedding light on the fundamental underlying mechanism of disease, critical to new therapeutic options. Patent applications for these Celera findings are in process.

"These research findings also hold promise for enabling the development of diagnostic tests to identify people who may be at risk for Alzheimer's and would potentially benefit from treatment with DAPK1 inhibitors," said Thomas White, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Celera. "We intend to partner or license any potential therapeutic value that emerges from this research program."

Study Details

To identify genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease in the region on chromosome 9 that is thought to harbor a genetic risk for the disease, SNPs were scanned across the entire chromosome using DNA samples collected from research subjects and similar non-demented individuals. The scan was carried out in a multi-stage fashion (including discovery and replication) and primarily targeted SNPs that may lead to changes in gene or protein function or activity. The DAPK1 SNP survived replication in multiple data sets and was then further tested in three additional validation sets. When analyzing all sample sets combined, individuals with two copies of the risk gene variant were at 1.4-fold greater risk for the development of disease. To identify potential causative variants, additional dense genotyping in the DAPK1 region was then performed.

Following the genetic research study, a biological characterization of DAPK1 gene expression was carried out and it was found that DAPK1 gene expression shows differences between the copies on each of the two chromosomes. The DAPK1 copy-specific expression was then correlated to the genotypes of the Alzheimer's-associated SNPs.

The lead author of this paper was Yonghong Li, Ph.D., Staff Scientist, CNS Discovery Research at Celera. The work was conducted in collaboration with researchers at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, Cardiff University in Wales, United Kingdom, the National Institute of Aging, Bethesda, Maryland, Cambridge University, United Kingdom, King's College London, United Kingdom, and the University of California, San Diego, California.

About Alzheimer's disease

An estimated 4.5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050 (Herbert et al., 2003).

Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia among the elderly, is a complex neurodegenerative disorder resulting from multiple genetic and nongenetic factors (Myers & Goate, 2001). The most common form occurs later in life and appears sporadically. However, several risk-factor genes have been implicated as causes of the disease. For example, a large body of evidence supports a central role for (beta)-amyloid. A well established genetic risk factor previously identified for the late-onset disease is a gene that makes one form of a protein called apolipoprotein E (APOE 4). Genetic modeling and whole genome linkage scans have implicated several genes in the genetics of sporadic Alzheimer's, but the precise genes which modulate the risk of Alzheimer's remain to be confirmed.

Advancing age is the most important known risk factor for Alzheimer's. The disease usually begins after age 60, and the number of people with the disease doubles every 5 years beyond age 65. About 5 percent of men and women ages 65 to 74 have Alzheimer's, and nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease. While younger people also get Alzheimer's, it is much less common.

National direct and indirect annual costs of caring for individuals with Alzheimer's are estimated to be at least $100 billion. It is estimated that Alzheimer's disease costs American business more than $61 billion a year, and of that figure, $24.6 billion covers Alzheimer health care and $36.5 billion covers costs related to caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's, including lost productivity, absenteeism and worker replacement (Koppel, 2002).

McDonald's Reports Strong Second Quarter Sales and Preliminary Earnings Per Share Growth -- Global comparable sales increased 5.9% in June, 5.5% for the second quarter -- U.S. comparable sales increased 5.2% in June, 4.2% for the second quarter -- Eu

OAK BROOK, Ill., July 17, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) announced today that Systemwide sales for McDonald's restaurants increased 8.1% in June, or 6.9% in constant currencies. For the quarter, Systemwide sales increased 6.6% as reported and in constant currencies.
McDonald's Chief Executive Officer Jim Skinner commented, "Our worldwide efforts to make the McDonald's experience increasingly relevant to today's consumers continue to deliver results with global comparable sales growing 5.9% in June and 5.5% for the quarter. We will further strengthen our connection with customers through combined initiatives surrounding menu choice, variety and value; convenient and contemporary restaurants and innovative marketing.

"In the U.S., McDonald's continues to be the favored breakfast destination, and we are now attracting even more customers. This positive breakfast trend and a popular Happy Meal promotion helped drive U.S. comparable sales up 5.2% in June.

"Germany, France and the United Kingdom each contributed to Europe's strong comparable sales increase of 4.5% in June. We're building sales throughout Europe by appealing to a broad range of customer preferences with premium sandwiches and salads, classic menu favorites and everyday low-price offerings. We also shared their passion for the World Cup with exciting promotions in June.

"Comparable sales in Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa increased 8.8% in June, primarily due to strong performance in Japan and Australia.

"Looking ahead, I am confident we will continue to build on our global comparable sales growth record by executing customer-focused initiatives that further enhance the relevance of the McDonald's experience."




Percent Inc/(Dec) Comparable Systemwide Sales

Second quarter 2006 earnings are expected to be about $0.67 per share. This preliminary earnings per share amount includes $0.10 of income related to the gain on the sale of a portion of our Chipotle Mexican Grill shares in the secondary offering completed in May; $0.01 of impairment expense primarily related to a loss on the anticipated sale of a market in APMEA to a developmental licensee; and $0.01 of incremental tax expense primarily related to the one-time impact from a tax law change in Canada. Second quarter 2005 reported earnings were $0.42 per share, which included $0.09 of incremental tax expense resulting from the decision to repatriate foreign earnings under the Homeland Investment Act.



Definitions

-- Comparable sales represent sales at all McDonald's restaurants,

including those operated by the Company, franchisees and affiliates,

in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily

closed, excluding the impact of currency translation. Some of the

reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include road

construction, reimaging or remodeling and natural disasters.

Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales

compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business

trends.

-- Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current

year results at prior year average exchange rates.

-- Systemwide sales include sales at all McDonald's restaurants,

including those operated by the Company, franchisees and affiliates.

Management believes Systemwide sales information is useful in

analyzing the Company's revenues because franchisees and affiliates

pay rent, service fees and/or royalties that generally are based on a

percent of sales with specified minimum rent payments.

-- The number of weekdays, weekend days and timing of holidays can impact

our reported comparable sales. For the month of June 2006, this

calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one more Friday and

one less Wednesday, compared with June 2005. The resulting adjustment

varied around the world, ranging from flat to up about 1%.



Upcoming Communications

McDonald's tentatively plans to release second quarter earnings before the market opens on July 25, 2006 and will host an investor webcast at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. A link to the live and archived webcast will be available on http://www.investor.mcdonalds.com

McDonald's tentatively plans to release July sales on August 8, 2006.

McDonald's is the leading global foodservice retailer with more than 30,000 local restaurants in more than 100 countries.

Vertical Introduces TeleVantage 7.5; New Multi-site, Automatic Remote Login and Last Agent Routing Capabilities Lower Costs, Improve Productivity and Enhance Customer Service

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jul 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Vertical Communications (VRCC.OB)("Vertical"), a leading provider of next-generation, IP-based phone systems and applications that help businesses better serve their customers, today announced Vertical TeleVantage(R) 7.5, the newest release of the company's award-winning IP-PBX and contact center which provides doubled scalability and increased cost effectiveness for customers.
A feature-rich, software-based solution, TeleVantage combines an innovative IP-PBX with a suite of high-value voice applications, including unified messaging, personalized call-handling rules, comprehensive call recording and a robust contact center. With the introduction of TeleVantage 7.5, Vertical continues to enhance employee productivity and improve customer service for small and medium-sized businesses through automatic remote login for mobile users, last agent routing for call centers, and expanded multi-site capabilities via PSTN and SIP. TeleVantage 7.5 also includes expanded support for IP phones and services, enhanced SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) VoIP functionality, and integration with ViewPoint, the company's award-winning graphical user interface.

"Vertical is dedicated to helping customers adopt and deploy the latest technology while simultaneously protecting their investment in existing infrastructure," said Bill Tauscher, Chairman and CEO of Vertical Communications. "TeleVantage continues to add features that provide more value to the customer. By dramatically improving productivity, and enhancing customer service while lowering costs, we are enabling our customers to optimize their own customer relationships."

Automated Access for Mobile Professionals

TeleVantage 7.5 offers a new level of access and productivity for mobile professionals by extending all the robust functionality of the TeleVantage system to mobile phones, without users having to dial complicated passcodes. "Automatic remote login via caller ID" allows administrators to identify one or more users' "my numbers" as "auto authenticated," which will automatically treat those calls as logged into the internal phone system without entering an extension or password. The remote workers thus have access to all the capabilities they have in the office, including voicemail transfer, outbound calls via the PBX, call conferencing and more, as if they were using their office phone. In addition, toll calls are directly linked to the office, rather than the workers' individual cell phones.

Enhanced Contact Center Routing to Improve Customer Service

Building upon TeleVantage's existing rich call center capabilities, TeleVantage 7.5 offers Last Agent Routing for call center queues, so that callbacks by the same caller can be routed straight to the agent who handled the previous call. This process eliminates the need for the customer to repeat their issue to multiple agents, thereby enhancing a business' ability to increase customer satisfaction. Specifically, when Last Agent Routing is turned on for a queue, any call that comes in with the same Caller ID as a previous call is automatically routed to the agent who previously handled it and understands the caller's history. If that agent is unavailable (on another call, in DND, not taking queue calls, etc.), the call waits a specified duration, then is routed according to the queue's normal distribution algorithm.

Enhanced Multi-site Capabilities

TeleVantage 7.5 Enterprise Manager enhancements include inter-server call support, over both the PSTN and SIP IP networking, as well as increased scalability. PSTN-based inter-server call support leverages a customer's existing PSTN network to connect calls between multiple networked TeleVantage servers where the data network is not able to support the additional voice traffic. This is beneficial for customers who wish to have a shared phone service among multiple sites, but do not wish to upgrade their WAN network. TeleVantage Enterprise Manager also allows TeleVantage servers to be connected via SIP, as well as via H.323. This allows the use of the cost-effective and robust qualities of SIP communication between multiple TeleVantage servers. Additionally, Enterprise Manager is certified to handle up to 15 nodes and 1500 users, depending on available system resources.

Integration with Vertical's MP5000

TeleVantage 7.5 is now integrated with Vertical's MP5000 platform to offer that 100,000-strong installed customer base the full functionality of call center applications through TeleVantage. The integration is the latest step in Vertical's vision to realize the synergy of its acquisition strategy and to integrate its portfolio of products.

TeleVantage 7.5 also includes many other enhancements designed to further lower the cost of ownership and improve employee productivity, including: SIP enhancements, ViewPoint integration, and certification for the Aastra 480CT cordless SIP phones, the CounterPath PocketPC SIP Softphone and Broadwing's VoIP services.

TeleVantage 7.5 is currently available through the company's worldwide network of value-added resellers and systems integrators - called Vertical Business Partners. For more information, please visit www.vertical.com or call 1-800-914-9985.

IBM China Develops Business Processes and Technology Infrastructure for China's First Liquefied Natural Gas Project Guangdong Dapeng LNG Commences Business Operations With First Shipment of 66,000 Tons of Liquid Natural Gas From Australia

SHANGHAI, CHINA, Jul 17, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- IBM China has delivered the business processes and technology infrastructure behind China's first Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Gas Project, Guangdong Dapeng LNG (DPLNG). DPLNG recently received and processed its first shipment of 66,000 tons of LNG from Australia, marking the commencement of its business operations.
Responsible for the import, storage, re-gasification and transmission of LNG for Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Foshan and Hong Kong, DPLNG has 11 shareholders including CNOOC, its largest shareholder (33%) and BP, its only foreign shareholder (30%).

IBM Global Business Services was contracted by DPLNG in 2005 to design the business processes and IT infrastructure necessary to support DPLNG as it prepared to transition from construction to operation.

"Establishing a solid operational foundation was imperative for the successful launch of DPLNG," said Mr. Tom King, President, DPLNG. "IBM created the business process structure that allowed us to move seamlessly from the construction phase into the operational stage.

"This foundation allowed us to receive and process our first shipment of LNG and will enable us to scale our operations to match the anticipated growth of our business," he said.

IBM took a three-phased approach to create DPLNG's operational infrastructure involving: business process design, application integration and co-ordination, and the implementation of an SAP ERP system.

During the project, IBM worked on processes to support the finance function, human resources, administration and other related operations, and assisted with the establishment and coordination of relationships between upstream and downstream business partners.

The business process design phase involved 316 business processes, including core business, financial, and commercial process as well as the operational processes for each division. The second phase involved the alignment of DPLNG's applications such as Maximo, e-banking and GMS systems with the overall IT infrastructure to deliver enterprise-wide IT support. The third phase was devoted to the implementation of the SAP ERP system, which also involved the integration of the overall IT infrastructure with the business processes.

IBM's deep industry experience, background in designing business processes and ERP implementation skills, ensured the technology infrastructure, in particular the critical SAP-related application ports, were ready for the commencement of DPLNG's operations.

The finance function, for example, is able to collect accurate financial data quickly, enabling rapid management decision-making and the efficient execution of finance related activities.

David D. Cheng, Engagement Partner of IBM Global Business Services, Greater China Group, said, "This project demonstrates the strength of IBM. We drew on our deep business and technology skills, together with global and local industry experience, to create an operational foundation to address DPLNG's current and future business needs.

"We congratulate DPLNG on receiving and processing their first shipment of LNG, and are proud of the role of IBM has played in achieving this success."

DPLNG has invested US$898 million to build a 3.7 million t/a LNG receiving station and a 383km gas transmission pipeline. The company has a 25 year contract for an annual gas supply of 3.63 million tons with The North West Shelf ALNG Company.

Coca-Cola 2Q profit up 7 percent
ATLANTA (AFX) - The Coca-Cola Co., (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs) the world's largest beverage maker, reported a 7 percent increase Tuesday in second-quarter profit on a modest rise in sales. The results beat Wall Street expectations.

The Atlanta-based company said it earned $1.84 billion, or 78 cents a share, for the three months ending June 30, compared to a profit of $1.72 billion, or 72 cents a share, for the same period a year ago.

Excluding a net benefit of 4 cents a share primarily due to the sale of shares in an initial public offering of a Turkish bottler, Coke said it earned $1.73 billion, or 74 cents a share.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were expecting earnings of 72 cents a share in the quarter.

Revenue in the second-quarter rose 3 percent to $6.48 billion, compared to $6.31 billion recorded in the same period a year ago.

Companywide, unit case volume increased 4 percent in the second quarter.

The increase was led by growth in several markets, including China, Russia, Turkey and Argentina.

Coca-Cola also said it saw 2 percent unit case volume growth in North America and 7 percent in Latin America. Unit case volume increased 3 percent in the company's European Union segment, but revenue was down 12 percent there in the quarter, due to currency issues and a negative impact from structural changes in its business model in Spain.

Sales of carbonated beverages and water were solid overall at the company, as were sales of sports drinks, Coke said.

For the first six months of the year, Coca-Cola said it earned $2.94 billion, an 8 percent increase from the $2.73 billion recorded in the first half of last year. Six-month revenue rose 2 percent to $11.70 billion, compared to $11.52 billion recorded a year ago.

MedImmune Receives Complete Response Letter From FDA for New Formulation of FluMist(R)

GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 18, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- MedImmune, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEDI) announced today that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for a supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) related to the new formulation of FluMist (Influenza Virus Vaccine Live, Intranasal) for the current approved indication. With the sBLA, MedImmune is seeking approval to use refrigerator-stable CAIV-T (cold adapted influenza vaccine, trivalent) in preventing influenza in healthy individuals 5 to 49 years of age. The FDA is requesting clarification and additional information relating to data previously submitted.
"Based on our review of the letter received, we expect to fully respond to the agency within two to four weeks," said Linda J. Peters, senior vice president, regulatory affairs. "We are confident that our continued interaction with the FDA will result in approval of the new formulation of our intranasal vaccine in advance of the 2007-2008 influenza season. CAIV-T will bring an added level of convenience to administering the vaccine and establish the basis upon which the company plans to expand the product's label."

MedImmune plans to submit a separate sBLA to the FDA within the next few weeks requesting an expanded label for FluMist. This sBLA will include data from a Phase 3 study involving approximately 8,500 children between 6 months and 59 months of age.

Ms. Peters added, "We remain on track with our plans to launch in time for the 2007-2008 influenza season an improved formulation of our intranasal influenza vaccine with an expanded indication down to one year of age."

About FluMist

FluMist is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by influenza A and B viruses in healthy children and adolescents, 5 to 17 years of age, and healthy adults, 18 to 49 years of age. There are risks associated with all vaccines, including FluMist. Like any vaccine, FluMist does not protect 100 percent of individuals vaccinated. In studies of people between the ages of 5 and 49 years, runny nose was the most commonly reported side effect. Other common side effects included various cold-like symptoms, such as headache, cough, sore throat, tiredness/weakness, irritability, and muscle aches.

FluMist should not be used, under any circumstances, in anyone with an allergy to any part of the vaccine, including eggs; in children and adolescents receiving aspirin therapy; in people who have a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome; and in people with known or suspected immune system problems. Pregnant women and people with certain medical conditions, asthma, or reactive airways disease should not get FluMist.

It is the next-generation, refrigerator-stable formulation of FluMist, which is a frozen, live attenuated cold-adapted trivalent influenza vaccine. To date, the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CAIV-T has been studied in both healthy and at-risk populations between the ages of 6 weeks and 98 years.

Microsoft Dynamics AX Helps Graphics Solution Specialist C2 Media Continue Competitive Edge in Customer Service New technology implementation provides 'dashboard' view of each customer interaction, streamlines in-house and supply chain communications

REDMOND, Wash., July 18, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced that C2 Media, a leading supplier of professional media graphics solutions, has selected Microsoft Dynamics(TM) AX as the technology of choice to streamline business processes internally and with its extensive roster of Fortune 500 clients. It chose Microsoft Dynamics AX over a number of other products, including several that are specific to the graphics industry, to replace nonintegrated legacy systems with one centralized tool to extend to multiple locations in the U.S. and Canada. The company, which differentiates itself from competitors with its careful attention to customer service, believed Microsoft Dynamics AX was the product that could help it best tailor its service and message to each individual client.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

"When you can't view information in a cohesive way, even day-to-day processes become unmanageable," said David Manning, president of C2 Media. "In order to ensure that we continue to build our reputation by going the extra mile to make each client interaction a priority, our sales and client services staff needs a dashboard that views a piece of business from the first sales call to shop floor production to client reporting, and everything in between. Microsoft Dynamics AX will unquestionably help us even more keenly focus our competitive edge in customer service."

The 20-year-old company, which employs more than 375 people, provides a wide range of print applications, including signage, postcards, window displays, promotional pieces, transit graphics, and other integrated print and media solutions. In addition to serving major media brands, the company provides services to clients in the retail, financial and technology industries. The company will use the new system to manage customer and internal communications, as well as to enable better processes with a wide network of vendors such as freight transportation companies. Manning also said that the company expects that the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution rollout will be easier and the adoption rate within the company faster than that of other solutions evaluated by his company, due to its familiar Microsoft(R) Office interface.

"In terms of the bottom line, there is so much to be gained from a simple, cohesive technology platform that empowers thorough communication," said Mark A. Jensen, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics AX at Microsoft. "Microsoft Dynamics AX was designed to give a business a one-stop view of all of its internal processes and client accounts. Easy reporting functionality then enables the type of in-depth analysis and reporting needed to take things to the next step in terms of productivity and functionality. We are thrilled that C2 Media has chosen to put this powerful tool to work for its business."

Microsoft Dynamics AX is an adaptable business management solution that enables companies and their workers to make business decisions with greater confidence. Microsoft Dynamics AX works like and with familiar Microsoft Office software, with comprehensive features that help automate and streamline business processes, and connect users with global customers, business partners and subsidiaries in a way that helps drive business success. C2 Media will also use the technology to communicate with vendors, freight services and other partners.

Dow Admits Participation in Massive Oil Refining Project

GUANGZHOU, Jul 18, 2006 (SinoCast via COMTEX) -- Dow Chemical Company, the global leading provider of innovative chemical, plastic and agricultural products and services, had participated in the first-phase negotiation on the 15-million-ton oil refining project in southern China's Guangdong province, as disclosed by one of Dow's high-level officials.
He also revealed that four parties, including Sinopec, Kuwait Petroleum Corp., Dow Chemical and another western oil company unnamed, were likely to cooperate in the project, which has the refining capacity of 15 million tons annually and annual output of one million tons of ethylene.

Recent information shows that the huge refinery may be built in Nansha of Guangzhou, capital city of Guangdong.

The project is beneficial to the participants. With the advantage of crude oil supply, Kuwait Petroleum can become engaged in China's oil production. Dow's desire of being involved in China's ethylene production and refinery can be realized by providing advanced technologies and capital. Sinopec, with doubt, will consolidate its status in southern China

The merger proposal formulated in mid-December was not nearly as attractive this spring. Genesis terminated negotiations only after performing arduous due diligence to reach this conclusion. ''Management is dedicated to increasing shareholder value, and we remain convinced that a merger with a qualified Chinese company should accelerate that goal. With our well-defined Chinese partners program, we can now consider new Genesis merger candidates on a regular basis. Additionally, with three quarters of solid performance, significant cash reserves, and appreciating equity holdings, Genesis will be in an enviable position to complete such a merger in the future.'' Dr. Shaohua Tan, Director of China Operations, added: ''Our revitalized business model is moving forward at full throttle. Of our contract partner companies, Lotus Pharmaceuticals, will be the first to be publicly traded. The audit is in its final stages. Gold Horse International will follow soon thereafter. New partner companies will be announced shortly, and we remain confident that each completed contract could result in about $2 million to the Genesis bottom line.''

Coca-Cola mit höherem Gewinn


ATLANTA -
Der weltgrößte Erfrischungsgetränkehersteller Coca-Cola hat im zweiten Quartal 2006 von der Fußball- Weltmeisterschaft profitiert und den Gewinn erhöht. Der Konzern konnte vor allem das Geschäft mit Wasser und anderen stillen Getränken verbessern. Coca-Cola verdiente im zweiten Quartal 1,8 Milliarden Dollar (1,4 Milliarden Euro) oder sieben Prozent mehr als im zweiten Quartal 2005. Der Gewinn pro Aktie erreichte 78 (Vorjahr: 72) Cent.


In Deutschland verbuchte der Getränkeriese im zweiten Quartal gegenüber der entsprechenden Vorjahreszeit einen gleich bleibenden Absatz, doch gab es gegenüber den ersten drei Monaten 2006 einen Zuwachs von drei Prozent. Dies führte Coca-Cola auf die Marketingprogramme während der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft und auf den Zeitpunkt der Osterfeiertage zurück. Das Unternehmen erwartet für das Gesamtjahr in Deutschland ein stabiles Ergebnis.

MidnightTrader's After-Hours Trading Range Analysis: DTAS

Boston, Jul 18, 2006 (MidnightTrader via COMTEX) -- Digitas (DTAS): Stock was hit for a steady decline at the start of night trade, dropping from 9.98 to 8.91. Buyers sent in some of their strongest upside liquidity off this slide, bumping the stock back up through the 9 to 9.34 area. This was ultimately a fruitless attempt at a rebound as DTAS set off on a downside run that took it from 9.25 to an after-hours low of 7.99 near the mid-session. Buyers gained confidence off this bottom, lifting DTAS from 8 to 8.43 through the mid-session and second-half of after-hours trade. A pre-market open on Wednesday looks to have potential near the 8.25 mark. The rather consistent upside liquidity we recorded in the area between 8.25 and 8.00 would have us avoiding short plays down here through the early going Wednesday. Instead, shorts may want to wait for a possible return back near 8.95 to 8.65, levels where sell momentum spiked tonight before sending DTAS to its evening lows

PLX Technology, Inc. Reports Second-Quarter 2006 Financial Results

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jul 18, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLXT):
-- Increases across All Product Lines Drive Revenue Growth and Profitability

-- Cash and Investment Balances Increase by $2.9 Million from Prior Quarter

-- Shipped PCI Express Production Units, Samples or Development Systems to More than 400 Customers since Product Line Launch

PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLXT) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, PLX reported net revenues of $19.4 million, a 47 percent increase from the $13.2 million reported in the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, and a three percent decrease compared to the $20.0 million reported in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Included in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 results is a one-time pick-up in net revenues and gross margin of $2,766,076 and $1,875,066, respectively, as a result of the Company's change from the sell-through method of accounting for revenues to the sell-in method, whereby revenues are recognized at the time of shipment to a distributor.

Net revenues for the first six months of 2006 were $39.4 million, a 49 percent increase from the $26.4 million reported for the first six months of 2005. As described above, net revenues for the first six months of 2006 include the one-time pick-up in revenue in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 as a result of the change to the sell-in accounting method.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which included the effect of acquisition-related costs and stock option expense, was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share (diluted). This compared with net losses under GAAP of $0.7 million, or a loss of $0.03 per share (diluted), in the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 and net income under GAAP of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share (diluted), in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $1.8 million, or $0.06 per share (diluted), compared to net losses of $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.05 per share (diluted), for the first six months of 2005.

Pro forma net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, which excluded the effect of stock option expense and acquisition-related costs, was $2.2 million, or $0.08 per share (diluted). This compared with pro forma net losses of $0.2 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share (diluted), in the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 and pro forma net income of $3.1 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted), in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Pro forma net income for the first six months of 2006 was $5.3 million, or $0.18 per share (diluted), compared with pro forma net losses of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share (diluted), for the first six months of 2005. Included in pro forma net income for the first quarter and first six months of 2006 is the one-time pick-up described above. A reconciliation between net income (loss) under GAAP and pro forma net income (loss) is provided in a table immediately below the Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's gross margin for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 was 58 percent, as compared with 63 percent for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 and 63 percent for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. The one-time pick-up in revenue and gross margin in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 as described above resulted in an increase of approximately one percent to the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 gross margin. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of higher sales of USB and PCI Express(TM) devices, which yield lower margins relative to the PCI I/O devices.

Operating expenses under GAAP for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $11.3 million include $1.4 million in stock option expense and $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs. This compares with operating expenses under GAAP of $11.3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, which include $1.0 million of stock option expense and $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs.

Pro forma operating expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $9.4 million, which exclude stock option expense and acquisition-related costs. This compares to pro forma operating expenses of $9.7 million for the prior quarter.

The Company's balance sheet remained strong. At June 30, 2006, cash and investments were $38.3 million, compared to $35.0 million at December 31, 2005. Additionally, there continues to be no debt.

"Our year-over-year and sequential results reflect solid execution of our growth initiatives," said Mike Salameh, PLX Technology's chief executive officer. "More specifically, we achieved 47 percent revenue growth year-over-year, while growing quarterly pro forma results from a loss to a $2.2 million net profit and increasing cash and investments by nearly $6 million. Successful execution of our PCI Express and USB product plans were the main drivers of these results. In the second quarter, we started sampling two new PCI Express switches, which brings our total PCI Express product family to nine switches and bridges. This product family, by far the broadest in the industry, addresses a wide range of applications in the server, storage, PC peripheral, and embedded-system markets. Since we launched the product line in late 2004, we have shipped PCI Express production units, samples or development systems to more than 400 customers, compared to over 300 at the end of the first quarter.

"USB growth has been driven by increased demand from a variety of customers in consumer and PC peripheral applications such as GPS systems, wireless LAN adapters and docking stations. We are also winning new designs in applications that have high data transfer rates or low power consumption requirements such as PDA's and TV Tuners.

"Based on our market leadership in PCI Express and USB, we expect to achieve sustained growth of revenues and earnings."

Business Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. The Company does not intend to update, confirm or change this guidance until its third-quarter earnings conference call, although it may provide additional detail regarding its guidance on today's scheduled conference call.

-- Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 is expected to be between $19.5 million and $20.5 million, with approximately 18 percent to 20 percent of total revenues attributable to USB products and approximately 22 percent to 24 percent of total revenues attributable to PCI Express products.

-- Gross margins are expected to be in the range of 57 percent to 59 percent.

-- Operating expenses under GAAP are expected to be between $11.4 million and $11.6 million. Pro forma expenses are expected to be between $9.6 million and $9.8 million. Pro forma operating expenses exclude the effect of stock compensation, which is expected to be between $1.2 million and $1.4 million and acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.5 million.

S&P Equity Research Downgrades Shares of Yahoo to 'Hold' (3-STARS) from 'Buy' (4-STARS)

NEW YORK, July 19, 2006 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- S&P Equity Research Services has downgraded its recommendation on shares of Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO, $32.24) to "Hold" (3-STARS out of 5) from "Buy" (4-STARS). The shares are trading lower, as Yahoo posted EPS of $0.11 (after option expense) vs. $0.13 (before options), $0.02 below our forecast. Revenues excluding traffic-acquisition costs (TAC) were slightly below our forecast. We are maintaining our 2006 estimates of $4.7 billion in revenues (ex-TAC) and $0.54 in EPS. However, we believe there is less potential associated upside, due to the push-out of the deployment of Yahoo's new search technology to the fourth quarter of 2006 from the third quarter. Based on our revised discounted cash flow and sum-of-the- parts analyses, we have reduced our 12-month target price to $34 from $40.
Risks to our recommendation and target price include timing and execution related to new offerings, notable competition in the online media and search segments, and click fraud detracting from demand and/or pricing related to Internet advertising.
