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.

Anders Huge, Director of Intel Wireless Competence Center commented: "Demonstrating multicast TV to notebook computers articulates the way forward for mobile computing - extending the range of services offered by WiMAX to include broadband internet access, VOIP and video. Intel(R) Centrino(R) mobile technology based notebooks are great entertainment devices and offer consumers the ability to take their home entertainment experience on the go."

Yossi Deutsch, Vice President Product Marketing, NDS said: "We are happy to work with a major force behind WiMAX technology and getting a clear message out that it is not only about broadband access but rather a full range of lucrative services, enhancing the very model behind WiMAX future deployments."

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.

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.

W2 Energy Inc. (Pink Sheets: WWEN - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WWEN.PK )

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.

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.

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.

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.
