Syndication Inc. Announces Mac Marshall Jr. Signs Former CFO of Fortune 500 Company; Company Preps for Government Funding

DAMASCUS, Md., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Syndication Inc., (SYNJ.PK), reports that McCutcheon Marshall Jr., President and Chairman of the Board for Sentinel Renewable Energy S.C. Inc. and Pinnacle Energy Inc., the wholly owned energy subsidiary of Syndication Inc., announces that on Sunday the 25th of October 2009, Sentinel Renewable Energy S.C. Inc. signed Mr. Peter Katzburg as the new CFO of the Company. Mr. Katzburg has over thirty years of experience including service as the CFO of a Fortune 500 and a Fortune 1000 company. He currently owns and operates a Financial Consulting Firm located in South Carolina. The firm specializes in a broad and comprehensive range of financial services that focus primarily on procuring working and growth capital for Companies. The various sources include commercial and government loans, grants, and equity. Over the years Mr. Katzburg has supervised and implemented many projects for businesses throughout the State of South Carolina. As a result, he has developed strong banking relationships, secured various state, county and community incentive grants, JEDA Industrial Revenue Bonds, USDA funding, DOE Funding, negotiated incentives and secured funding from the S.C. Department of Commerce, Williamsburg County and the Williamsburg County Rural Development Fund.

For the last 6 months, Mr. Katzburg has been working as a private consultant for the Company. He was the chief architect of our $25 million DOE grant application and our 3.5 million government guaranteed loan application, both of which are pending approval. "The fact that he has officially accepted the position of Chief Financial Officer of our company says volumes about his perception of our Company's potential as well as enhancing the favor of the strategic alliances that follow him," says Mac Marshall Jr. the President of Sentinel Renewable Energy S.C. Inc. and Pinnacle Energy Inc.

When Mr. Sorrentino was asked to comment on the new CFO he stated, "whenever the Company has the opportunity to bring on a professional with Mr. Katzburg credentials, you have to consider yourself extremely fortunate. Mr. Katzburg has worked with many companies in the State of South Carolina and has successfully closed financing programs with both the DOE and USDA. The fact that he has such strong and familiar ties to those agencies obviously gives him a valuable insight on how to build our finance and cash flow matrix models to meet all specifications. However, even more important is that the agencies and banks we are currently working with now know that he is not just acting as an agent for our Company but, as the CFO he will be in charge of supervising the finance programs they are funding. From there perspective the potential of our Company has got to look great. In my opinion, the last remaining concerns about moving to a close have been defused," said Brian Sorrentino the CEO of Syndication Inc. The Company reports that more news is pending.

Existing Energy Tools and Technologies Can Help Businesses and Educational Institutions Create High Performance BuildingsTrane to Highlight Money-Saving Green Technologies at Global Energy Conference

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Buildings in the U.S. account for approximately 40 percent of national energy consumption, and global energy usage is projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. By improving the efficiency of buildings, organizations can free up considerable energy resources and money for investment in other areas.

With that savings in mind, Bob Vorwald, measurement and verification manager for Trane, will explain the financial and environmental pay-offs of energy efficient buildings at the 2009 World Energy Engineering Conference (WEEC). Keith Willis, Ph. D., new technologies leader for Trane, will moderate this panel.

Details of the presentation are: When: November 5, 2009 at 2:30 p.m. (Conference is November 4-6) Where: Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C. Conference Website: http://www.energycongress.com/

Companies are regularly introducing new and emerging technologies for buildings, but are businesses ready to apply and adopt them? Vorwald will educate attendees on emerging tools and technologies to drive businesses toward greater efficiency. These technologies include design stage tools and those specific to construction; building performance; and operation and renovation. He will demonstrate why there is no need to wait to make existing buildings more energy efficient - there are many proven systems and services available today to do the job - and he will discuss emerging technologies on the horizon.

Maureen J. Lally, vice president, Americas marketing for the Trane commercial business, will also present at the conference. In a down economy, the use of every taxpayer and tuition dollar is scrutinized in schools. However, school administrators do not have to put high performance school investments on hold as dollars allocated to these initiatives can reap financial returns and benefits to the community that are invaluable. Lally will make the case for green schools in a down economy, explaining how to create differentiated offerings for schools by understanding the needs of the school administration, faculty and students.

To make it easier and more financially feasible to turn new and existing schools into green schools, Lally's presentation will offer guidance for gaining the funding and cutting the red tape for going green. The presentation will include:

-- Legislation summary, programs, incentives and grants for creating green schools -- Tools, programs and offers for school that address the goals and objectives of ARRA stimulus funding. Details of the presentation are: When: November 5, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. (Conference is November 4-6) Where: Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C. Conference Website: http://www.energycongress.com/

Now in its 32nd year, the World Energy Engineering Congress is one of the most important energy events for professionals in all areas of the energy field. The WEEC, presented by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), is a comprehensive forum focusing on how economic and market forces, new technologies, regulatory developments and industry trends merge to shape an organization's energy and economic future.

Trane is a WEEC Platinum Sponsor. At the conference, Trane leaders will be available at Exhibit Show booth 601 where attendees can view interactive demos of Trane energy-saving solutions for designing and analyzing building systems, and managing building operations - especially in education, healthcare, and government facilities.

PECO II Reports Third-Quarter 2009 Results

GALION, Ohio, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

-- Third-quarter 2009 net income of $0.3 million -- First quarter of net income since March 31, 2001 -- Third-quarter 2009 quarter-over-quarter revenue growth of $3.1 million reflects a 30 percent increase -- Third-quarter 2009 year-over-year revenue growth of $1.0 million reflects an 8 percent increase

PECO II, Inc. , a communications industry power systems and services provider, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

PECO II reported net sales of $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. This compares with $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, a 30.4 percent quarter-over-quarter increase, and $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, an 8.2 percent year-over-year increase. The Company reported net income of $0.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009, compared with a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008.

Net income of $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 - the Company's first quarterly net income since the first quarter of 2001 - was primarily the result of the Company's profitable growth in its services business from its engineering and installation capabilities. The services improvements were offset by an excess inventory charge of $0.6 million for stranded raw materials. This excess inventory was primarily the result of changes in buying patterns by customers as a result of the mergers that have occurred among the Company's current customers in 2009, resulting in a shift in types of power systems being purchased.

EBITDA was a positive $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with a negative EBITDA of $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2008. EBITDA for the nine months ending September 30, 2009, was a negative $0.2 million, compared with a negative EBITDA of $2.3 million for the corresponding period in 2008. An explanation and reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA is included as Attachment A.

PECO II CEO John Heindel stated, "Achieving net income in the third quarter of 2009 represents a major milestone in PECO II's journey to being a world-class industry vendor. Further, the third quarter is the Company's second consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA performance. These financial results can be attributed to the Company's efforts over the past few periods to focus on improving the processes that are key to delivering quality products and services to customers."

Cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $0.5 million. This was primarily from the year-to-date net loss and an increase in working capital to support the increased business from the Company's engineering and installation services, offset by non-cash charges.

Bookings for the third quarter of 2009 increased by 31.8 percent compared with the third quarter of 2008, resulting in a sales backlog of $9.3 million. The increase was driven by strong customer orders for the Company's engineering and installation services. The third- quarter backlog was a 28.9 percent increase from the $7.2 million backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2009. The bookings-to-billings ratio reflects customer orders received compared with the same period's billings and is an indication of future periods. For the third quarter of 2009, the ratio was 1.16 to 1.

"These results have been achieved in very challenging economic times," said Heindel. "Dramatic growth in our services business, particularly engineering and installation activities, has offset a slowing in the product business, which we believe is the result of the various mergers and acquisitions that have occurred in 2009 among our customers, resulting in a delay in purchases. We do not believe PECO II has lost any market share through this period in its product business and that it has, in fact, dramatically taken market share from its competition in its services business."

For the third quarter of 2009, product revenues fell 2.1 percent quarter over quarter and 28.7 percent year over year, Heindel said. At the same time, services revenues grew 90.4 percent quarter over quarter and 112.5 percent year over year, with services market share gains realized in the large Tier I and Tier II customer market segments.

Heindel added, "Gross margins of 20.1 percent, or $2.6 million, in the third quarter were positively impacted by services gross margins for the third quarter 2009, which increased by $0.9 million, as compared with the second quarter of 2009, and increased by $1.3 million from the third quarter of 2008."

The services gross margin improvement was driven by the dramatic revenue growth noted above, he said. The overall gross margin improvement was negatively impacted by the write-off of inventory totaling $0.6 million, also noted above. Product gross margin for the third quarter 2009 decreased by $0.7 million, as compared with the second quarter of 2009, and $0.4 million compared with the third quarter of 2008. This reduction was driven primarily by the inventory write-off mentioned previously, he added.

Third-quarter 2009 operating expenses of $2.3 million were $0.3 million less than the second quarter of 2009 and $0.7 million less than the third quarter of 2008. The reduction versus the second quarter of 2009, was primarily attributed to severance pay awarded in the second quarter of 2009 for departing executives. Year-over-year reductions were primarily attributed to cost-reduction actions taken in prior periods as the Company dealt with the macroeconomic environment.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company completed development of its next-generation BDFB DC distribution platform. Heindel said customers have signaled positive feedback on this product platform, and in fact, product awards have been received since September 30, 2009.

Other customer highlights include: -- The Company's first win with a new customer for battery backup cabinets -- Two major Tier II service providers placing their first orders for the Company's small power product line -- Sixteen new account wins as a result of the Company's growing focus on Tier III and independent service providers -- A contract to provide network monitoring for a service provider's network and -- A major new win with the U.S. government for the Company's small and mid-sized products

Heindel further noted, "The past two quarters' financial results reflect the start of the Company accruing the financial benefit coming from its focus on world-class operational performance. Through these challenging times, the Company has maintained its focus on the customer, and all of its employees are constantly targeting serving the customer better than anyone else in the industry. Leveraging this employee focus with the Company's industry-leading responsiveness capability and its new technology platforms provides our customers with another reason to rely on PECO II for their power requirements. This focus has led to dramatically improved operational performance and is the basis for the market share gains the Company continues to realize."

EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measure so calculated and presented. We define EBITDA as net income/(loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock compensation expense. Other companies may define EBITDA differently. We present EBITDA because we believe it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. You should not consider EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

UTStarcom Announces New Contract With China's Bureau of Radio and Television of Santai County, Sichuan Province, a Subsidiary of SARFTDeployment in Sichuan Province to Aid Earthquake Recovery; Provide Interactive Streaming Media and Long-term Multimedia Entertainment Platform

ALAMEDA, Calif., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. today announced a new customer deployment with the Bureau of Radio and Television of Santai County, Sichuan Province, a subsidiary of Beijing-based government agency SARFT, to resume their radio and television network capability following last year's traumatic earthquake. The Bureau of Radio and Television of Santai County, Sichuan province is the project contractor.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051013/SFTH063LOGO)

UTStarcom will help resume radio and television networks in earthquake-stricken areas in Sichuan province via its end-to-end RollingStream® IPTV platform. Phase one of the deployment will cover 20,000 users, providing them with access to delivery channels, such as television and radio, for critical information. Upon completion, users will have access to ongoing rich and colorful TV programs, as well as a broad platform for communication.

"UTStarcom, with our interactive IPTV technology, is the ideal partner to support SARFT and help the local Sichuan province and other regions resume television and radio networks following last year's major earthquake," said Peter Blackmore, UTStarcom's chief executive officer and president. "The IPTV RollingStream® platform will improve the technology and operation levels of Sichuan's radio and television sector by transitioning from a simple, one-way network to a dual high-speed network. In the future, SARFT and UTStarcom could work together to make similar network enhancements in numerous other provinces."

After facilitating the first-response phase of the deployment including an improved technology adaptation, the long-term goal is to provide a benchmark of interactive multimedia services for radio and television content providers to develop their dual, broadband and multiple-services operations. Once completed, the residents of Santai County in the Sichuan province will have access to rich television programming at their fingertips, provided by the RollingStream® platform which is able to simultaneously launch 7,000 video streams.

According to the contract, the deployment is scheduled to start in November 2009. The project will be carried out in every earthquake-hit area in the Sichuan province, though the applied technologies will vary. Some areas will apply the traditional one-way digital TV model, while others will use interactive streaming media technology.

Specifically, UTStarcom's integrated solution will include five sets of Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) TN715 in an urban trunk network to constitute a 10G RPR, satisfying all data services of users. Additionally, five sets of BBS4000 Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON) and local area networks (LAN) will be deployed at the end user side with 1,200 sets of optical network units (ONU) at the first phase.

UTStarcom's broadband solutions enable the deployment of IP-based, high-speed Internet, voice, data and multimedia services over wireline and optical networks for service providers such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) and United Telecoms Ltd. In addition, UTStarcom's RollingStream® IPTV system provides customers with advanced video services such as interactive television, digital signage, mobile TV and distance learning programs. UTStarcom has announced IPTV deployments with Bharti Airtel, BSNL/Aksh, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL)/Aksh and United Telecoms Limited in India; China Unicom and China Telecom in China; Sri Lanka Telecom in Sri Lanka; Softbank in Japan, Brasil Telecom in Latin America and Markwell in Taiwan.

Ringtones Fall Short in Latin America as Operators Look to Mobile Internet

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Ringtone revenue falls short in Latin America as mobile Internet access will account for almost 79 percent of all non-messaging mobile data revenue by 2014, according to the latest forecast data from Pyramid Research (ww.pyr.com), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (http://www.lightreading.com/).

Although 11 percent of total mobile data subscribers will be ringtones users by year-end 2009, as noted in Pyramid Research's recently-released third quarter 2009 Latin America mobile data forecast, deeper opportunities for network operators clearly lie in mobile Internet services. "The increasing importance of mobile Internet in the data revenue pie is a clear trend in every single market, with the subsegment growing the fastest in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico," writes Cesar Jimenez, in LA Mobile Operators Turn a Deaf Ear to Ringtones. "By 2014, we estimate, mobile Internet access in Latin America will account for $16.5 billion, or almost 79 percent of all non-messaging mobile data revenue, whereas ringtones will make up a mere 4 percent."

COMMCO Latest Company to Switch From SAP R/3 to NetSuite OneWorldCloud Business Suites Leader Earns Another SAP Convert and Enables COMMCO to Run Core Business Functions Easier and at Much Lower Cost COMMCO Saves in Excess of $1 Million with NetSuite OneWorld

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetSuite Inc. , a leading vendor of cloud computing business management software suites, today announced that COMMCO LLC (http://www.commco.com/), a Kansas City-based distribution and light manufacturing company and a leading home improvement millwork distributor, is the latest company to successfully switch from SAP R/3 to NetSuite OneWorld, going live on time and on budget, and providing the Kansas City-based company substantial savings.

In an effort to modernize its business operations and eliminate the high cost of maintaining and upgrading SAP's complex, on-premise software, COMMCO transitioned to NetSuite and now relies on NetSuite's cloud computing platform for its core operational needs, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) functionality such as inventory management, ordering, fulfillment, EDI communications, corporate financials, and reporting; and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functionality such as sales and customer service management.

Franklin Christopher, President and CEO of COMMCO, provides an insightful overview of his company's move from SAP R/3 to the NetSuite Cloud in a recently recorded webinar accessible here: http://www.netsuite.com/commco.

According to Christopher, SAP's offerings fell far short of the NetSuite cloud solution and Christopher calculated it had only 30 percent the functionality of NetSuite. "NetSuite Professional Services provided us with a smooth transition that included teaching us how to create our own reporting so that the average employee could customize their own role-based dashboards and reports going forward," Christopher said. "SAP wanted our business, but our knowing that NetSuite's entire focus is on SaaS and the depth of functionality they offered compared to SAP Business ByDesign made the choice easy."

COMMCO, based in Kansas City, Missouri, distributes moulding to the home improvement market, including high-profile nationwide retailers such as Lowe's. The eight-year-old company's 120 employees account for $45 million in annual revenue. Previously, COMMCO was owned by another company, which ran its business on SAP R/3. After being sold to new owners some years back, COMMCO was grandfathered in to its former parent's instance of the SAP operating system. But with COMMCO's prior parent company considering new options, COMMCO was forced to choose between continuing its own instance of SAP and managing it with a smaller staff, or selecting a next-generation enterprise solution.

NetSuite OneWorld proved to be the right choice for COMMCO. The company could not justify continuing to use SAP R/3 which would have cost in excess of $1 million, so COMMCO looked for SaaS options which could be implemented quickly, allowing a prompt transition off of its former ERP system. COMMCO considered SAP's SaaS product Business ByDesign, but declared NetSuite OneWorld the superior solution and the one more easily tailored for a remotely located, growing business like COMMCO.

NetSuite OneWorld provides COMMCO management with instant access to customizable analytics, with no need for consulting fees to prepare new reports. Because NetSuite OneWorld is cloud-based, COMMCO does not need to manage and maintain complex software on desktops and laptops, nor does it need to build a server room with all the associated costs and resources. NetSuite helps COMMCO maintain its critical customer relationships with home improvement powerhouses such as Lowe's, at a cost far less than that of a new SAP implementation.

As a SaaS pioneer, NetSuite has perfected the delivery model for today's always-on, business-anywhere enterprise. Anytime, anywhere access enables companies to run lean, without a need for centralized facilities, while providing instant scalability for enterprises expanding into new markets and opportunities.

Unlike an SAP implementation, which can drag on for months or even years and cost millions up-front, NetSuite solutions can be deployed worldwide in a matter of weeks. Because upgrades are carefully and centrally managed, business no longer need be disrupted while technologists try to adapt yesterday's customizations to today's feature patch. And for those companies already deeply reliant on SAP solutions looking to embrace the advantages offered by SaaS, NetSuite OneWorld for SAP offers seamless integration for subsidiaries and corporate divisions which need their own enterprise-grade capabilities while maintaining transparency with the central system of record.

New RSA(R) Security Brief Outlines Best Practices for Protecting Enterprise Data and User Identities in the CloudLeading Technologists from EMC and VMware Share Critical Guidance for Organizations Entering the Cloud

BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC today released a new RSA® Security Brief entitled, "Identity and Data Protection in the Cloud: Best Practices for Establishing Environments of Trust." This Brief offers guidance and actionable best practices for organizations faced with the challenges of securing identities and data in the cloud. The new RSA Security Brief combines the expertise of top technologists in the field of cloud security to help organizations understand how to build trust relationships to link cloud services, protect against fraud and meet new compliance challenges arising in the cloud.

Authors of the RSA Security Brief include many of the industry's foremost security and virtualization experts from EMC and VMware, including Bret Hartman, Chief Technology Officer of EMC's RSA security division, Dr. Stephen Herrod, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of R&D for VMware and other senior EMC technologists. In the new Brief, the authors collectively contend that cloud security has vast potential to surpass the levels of information security that are possible today. In the cloud, security protocols can be built into the virtualization layer, not just imposed at the application level where they are typically enforced. By embedding security policies deeper in the technology stack and diffusing them throughout the virtual infrastructure of the cloud, enterprises can establish stronger, smarter security to protect their users and their data.

Establishing Cloud Relationships: Deciding Who to Trust

The RSA Security Brief asserts that many of the technologies, services, methodologies and much of the know-how needed to secure data and user identities in the cloud already exist in the enterprise and need to be strategically extended into the cloud. The main impediment to the cloud becoming a truly ubiquitous services platform is insufficient trust, particularly between the owner-providers of cloud resources and the companies who lease those resources. The authors provide guidance on how organizations can increase trust in cloud environments by agreeing to enforceable standards on cloud performance and security. Furthermore, the Brief presents emerging best practices for managing trust in private clouds.

Fraud Protection: Keeping the Bad Guys Out

Cloud computing is developing alongside a faster growing, fraud-driven "dark cloud." The potential for fraud is a major inhibitor to enterprises and their users in embracing cloud services. Enterprises need to expand their strong authentication and fraud detection capabilities to protect against unauthorized access, phishing, malware and even intellectual property theft. The RSA Security Brief offers specific advice for how to best implement multi-layered, risk-based authentication services and protect against increasingly sophisticated fraudster attacks.

Managing Data Compliance in the Cloud

One of the significant advantages of cloud computing is that the virtualization layer provides unprecedented visibility into just about every activity involved in providing application services. The virtualization layer's highly granular monitoring capabilities can greatly improve reporting processes for auditing and compliance within clouds. Cloud environments do, however, pose some new challenges to ensuring regulatory compliance. The cloud's lack of physical borders can make it difficult to comply with jurisdiction-specific privacy legislation.

The RSA Security Brief offers specific suggestions to improve regulatory compliance, such as importing cloud vendors' logs into security information and event management systems and deploying "data aware" cloud storage platforms that intelligently allocate data in accordance with policies and regulations.

Practitioner Guidance for Data and Identity Protection in Clouds

The new RSA Security Brief concludes with recommendations for technology solutions and services that can help security practitioners better protect data and user identities in the cloud. Solutions and services center on Data Center Monitoring and Multi-tenancy, Data Encryption and Tokenization, Federated Identity Management, Strong Risk-based Authentication, Fraud Prevention and Malware Detection, Cloud Event Management and Audit, Data Loss Prevention and Regulatory Compliance.

RSA Security Briefs are designed to provide security leaders with essential guidance on today's most pressing information security risks and opportunities.

Lexon Technologies, Inc. Announces Acquisition of Online Retailer of Inkjet and Toner Cartridges

LA MIRADA, Calif., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lexon Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: LEXO) today announced the acquisition of 7inkjet.com, an established online retailer of recycled inkjet and toner cartridges. Under the terms of the acquisition, Lexon will acquire the existing business of the website including the web domain and the customer database. Currently, 7inkjet's customer database has more than 12,000 registered customers. Further details of the acquisition can be found the on 8-K to be filed on November 4, 2009.

James Park, CEO of Lexon Technologies, stated, "We have found through years of experience that the online retailer industry is highly fragmented and almost invariably run by young independent businessmen who often times suffer because of large marketing and product costs. We are better equipped to operate an internet business as we have an existing, established, successful internet business in place, a substantial marketing budget and a high quality inventory readily available for shipment at all times.

"The integration of internet properties will be seamless as we have infrastructure in place to implement customer service and internet marketing programs at marginal cost. Lastly, as 7inkjet.com primarily sells inkjet cartridges, this is a large expansion of our inkjet business. We will gauge this business in detail and if positive, it may lead to our company either directly manufacturing inkjet cartridges or making a large acquisition of an inkjet manufacturer. This acquisition is one small part of our ongoing strategy to grow our internet presence, and we expect to acquire more internet properties soon."

Kevin Lee, General Manager of Lexon's E-Commerce Operations, stated, "With our existing 25,000 customer database and the acquisition of 7inkjet, we will have a customer database of close to 40,000. With aggressive, creative yet efficient marketing combined with the most competitive prices with highest quality, we are looking for a significant increase in our internet sales."

Honeywell's UOP and China National Petroleum Corp. to Collaborate on Biofuels Projects in ChinaCompanies will evaluate Chinese feedstocks for the production of green diesel and green jet fuels, evaluate installation of units to produce renewable fuels and improve ethanol energy efficiency

DES PLAINES, Ill., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, announced today that it signed a memorandum of understanding with China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) under which the two companies will collaborate on a range of biofuels technologies and projects in China.

Under the terms of the agreement, announced at the 20th meeting of the China-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT), the companies will collaborate to demonstrate existing biofuels technology to produce green transportation fuels using feedstocks available within China. CNPC will also evaluate the installation of a demonstration-scale UOP/Eni Ecofining(TM) process unit for the production of green diesel fuel, as well as a larger-scale unit at an existing or new CNPC refinery site.

The companies will also collaborate on the design of an Ecofining unit able to produce both green diesel as well as renewable jet fuel from Chinese biofeedstocks, and assess opportunities for raising the energy efficiency of existing and new ethanol plants in China with the use ethanol of membrane technology.

The initiatives will enable CNPC to meet the renewable energy targets set forth by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of China and are aligned with a strategic understanding reached by NDRC and the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2007 to promote industrial energy efficiency improvements and emissions reductions.

"This collaboration will advance the development of viable renewable fuels for the transport sector in China," said Jennifer Holmgren, general manager of UOP's Renewable Energy and Chemicals. "Collaboration between governments and private industry is necessary to enable a sustainable biofuels future. We are honored to work with CNPC to support this initiative, and congratulate all of the organizations involved for their commitment to a reduced carbon footprint."

"As a global Fortune 500 business and a responsible corporation, CNPC has long term commitment in emerging energy technologies and made positive progress," said Jie Hu, chief engineer of refining & chemicals for CNPC's PetroChina Company Ltd. "Under the strategic agreement framework between China and the U.S. to promote clean energy technology, our collaboration with UOP to promote advanced biofuel technology will enable the low carbon emission and green economy development in China."

The Ecofining process uses catalytic hydroprocessing technology to convert natural oils to a green diesel fuel. The product, a direct substitute for diesel fuel, features a high cetane value (the measure of the combustion quality of diesel) of approximately 80. Compared to diesel found at the pump today, which ranges from 40 to 60 cetane, green diesel offers value as a blending stock for refiners seeking to enhance existing diesel fuels and expand the diesel pool.

UOP has also developed process technology to produce renewable jet fuel under a contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for both military and commercial aircraft. In 2009, UOP announced an alliance with Vaperma to offer Vaperma's Siftek(TM) polymer membrane technology, which is designed to lower energy consumption for reduced operational costs and emissions in the energy-intensive ethanol production process.

CNPC is one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world and also one of the pioneer Chinese companies in promoting and deploying advanced biofuel technologies. CNPC is committed to developing biofuel technologies based on plentiful biofeedstocks in China.

UOP LLC, headquartered in Des Plaines, Illinois, USA, is a leading international supplier and licensor of process technology, catalysts, adsorbents, process plants, and consulting services to the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and gas processing industries.

Noront Resources publie une mise à jour des explorations sur le projet du lac McFauld, sur les Basses-terres de la Baie de James

TORONTO, November 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Symbole : NOT:TSX-V

- Actions en circulation : 163 631 957

- Entièrement diluées : 173 461 957

Noront Resources Ltd. (<< Noront >> ou la << Société >>) (TSX Venture : NOT) a le plaisir de communiquer ses dernières activités de l'exploration sur la mine du lac McFauld située sur le district des minéraux du Ring of Fire, sur les Basses-terres de la Baie de James.

- Le forage continue pour augmenter les ressources sur le gisement d'Eagle's Nest ;

- Le forage a commencé sur AT-12 dans le cadre de suivi des nouvelles cibles géophysiques ;

- Le rapport NI-43-101 et l'estimation initiale de ressource de chromite du gisement de Blackbird est dans les délais ;

- Le forage en partenariat Freewest-Noront a été arrêté en raison de résultats décevants.

Wes Hanson, Président et PDG de Noront déclare << Nous poursuivons de manière significative l'augmentation de la taille du gisement d'Eagle Nest avec de fortes valeurs de nickel, cuivre, platine et palladium sur les 1 000 mètres de long testés à ce jour. La minéralisation reste ouverte le long (axe X) et en profondeur (axe Y). L'épaisseur (axe Y) de la zone minéralisée varie de quelques mètres à plus de 60 mètres. Nous avons le plaisir de communiquer une mise à jour, modèle tridimensionnel du gisement d'Eagle's Nest qui démontre l'augmentation significative de la taille du gisement ces trois derniers mois. >> Et M. Hanson d'ajouter : << Nous sommes déçus par les derniers résultats visuels de notre projet XXX connu sous le nom de cible << Bulls Eye >>. Sur la base des résultats visuels, Noront cessera de contribuer au financement de l'exploration de cette cible. >>

Rendez-vous sur le site de Noront pour consulter l'animation de la minéralisation d'Eagle's Nest telle que définie par les trous, communiquée à ce jour http://norontresources.com/find/id/25/Mc

MISE A JOUR SUR LES EXPLORATIONS :

-------------------

Eagle's Nest (Ni-Cu-PGE)

------------------------

La minéralisation sur Eagle's Nest est contenue dans la zone verticale (axe Z), définie sur une profondeur de 1 000 mètres. La zone a une longueur directionnelle (N-S ou axe X) allant jusqu'à 200 mètres et une largeur (E-W ou axe Y) allant jusqu'à 60 mètres. La géométrie de la zone est de type ruban et comporte des variations relativement subtiles en longueur et en largeur le long de l'axe vertical, ce qui a permis de définir relativement facilement la zone ces derniers mois. Quatre forages définissent actuellement les étendues de la minéralisation sur Eagle's Nest. Deux forages sont dédiés à l'extension de la minéralisation sur une élévation de 1 500 mètres. Les deux derniers forages sont axés sur la définition de la direction et l'épaisseur de la minéralisation sur une profondeur de 1 000 mètres.

Un cinquième forage a récemment été déplacé vers AT12 pour tester les cibles géophysiques résultant de l'analyse des relevés électromagnétiques des trous de forages (EMTF).

L'objectif de l'exploration sur Eagle's Nest reste la délimitation du gisement en longueur directionnelle, en profondeur et pour comprendre la distribution des styles de minéralisation importante et en filet. Le forage continuera durant la campagne hivernale pour tester le potentiel d'expansion de la minéralisation à deux fois la profondeur actuelle.

Les résultants des teneurs sur les trous récemment forés sont plus longs à venir en raison de l'augmentation de l'activité d'échantillonnage. Les résultats seront communiqués après avoir passé avec succès les protocoles d'assurance qualité/contrôle qualité (AQ/CQ) de Noront et il y a suffisamment de trous pour lesquels les résultats sont disponibles pour justifier un communiqué de presse. Noront ne communique aucun résultat par trou.

Tous les trous de forage sont relevés par des levés électromagnétiques de trous de mine pour aider au ciblage des trous dans la zone de minéralisation. À ce jour, les résultats de ces trous de levés se sont révélés être très efficaces pour indiquer l'endroit où nos trous ont entrecoupé la zone minéralisée et dans quelles directions la continuité est forte.

AT12 (Ni-Cu-PGE)

----------------

Le forage sur notre cible AT12 a repris après une étude de nouvelles données de levé géophysique qui indiquait que le forage d'origine pourrait avoir été incorrectement orienté pour entrecouper la zone. Le manque de données de levé en profondeur du forage d'origine AT-12 a introduit un niveau de complexité à l'interprétation des résultats AT-12. Dernièrement, des levés directionnels ont été réalisés sur des trous critiques sur la zone AT-12 pour aider à l'interprétation du forage de EMTF. Le nouveau forage testera la cible aux angles droits sur l'alignement de l'anomalie interprétée.

Blackbird (Chromite)

--------------------

La modélisation de ressource du gisement de Blackbird est dans les délais et la société prévoit de communiquer la première estimation de ressource NI 43-101 pour la chromite au cours de ce trimestre. Micon International finalise ces travaux sur la modélisation et le rapport technique sous la supervision de l'équipe géologie de Noront et de notre spécialiste chromite d'Afrique du Sud.

Les trois J (Or)

---------------

Noront examine actuellement les informations géologiques pour tracer la structure estimée héberger la zone d'or des Trois J, adjacente aux gisements de Blackbird et Eagle 2. Une campagne de nouvel échantillonnage de tous les intervalles qui entrecoupaient la structure interprétée est en cours. Les résultats mis à jour seront communiqués une fois disponibles et les plans de la prochaine exploration incluront un programme de forage qui sera évalué une fois toutes les informations compilées et examinées.

Cible Bulls Eye- Partenariat Freewest

-----------------------------------------

Noront indique également l'arrêt du forage de notre cible << Bulls Eyes >> en partenariat avec Freewest. Le trou initial a confirmé que l'anomalie géophysique résultait d'une formation de fer XXX et n'avait pas le potentiel de contenir une minéra1isation de nickel-cuivre. Aucune autre étude n'est prévue sur cette cible pour le moment.

Compilation régionale

--------------------

Noront compile actuellement des informations géologiques et examine toutes les données géophysiques du Ring of Fire, se concentrant sur de nouvelles cibles sur l'ensemble de nos terrains sur la région d'environ 1 200 kilomètres carrés. Cet examen identifiera de nouvelles opportunités de minéralisation supplémentaires dans le Ring of Fire et les cibles privilégiées seront testées durant la campagne hivernale. Jeremy Niemi, Vice-président géologie de Noron note : << Le forage se poursuit agressivement sur Eagle's Nest avec quatre forages testant les limites de la minéralisation. Notre équipe a développé une approche efficace et effective pour définir la minéralisation et étendre notre compréhension du système. Nous pensons que nos efforts déployés pour l'exploration sur AT-12 et sur nos autres cibles dans le Ring of Fire seront le bénéfice direct de ces efforts. >>

L'Offre Freewest

--------------

L'offre de Noront pour les ressources de Freewest reste la seule offre à ce jour. Notre offre de 0,25 d'une action Noront pour toute (1) action Freewest reste valable et représente toujours une juste valeur totale pour Freewest.

Noront continue de penser que la consolidation du Ring of Fire donnera lieu à l'utilisation d'une infrastructure mutuelle pour permettre une gestion prudente des capitaux des actionnaires qui, à son tour créera une valeur pour toutes les parties prenantes du Ring of Fire.

Nous encourageons les actionnaires de Freewest à soumettre leurs actions avant l'expiration de la date du 18 novembre 2009.

Wes Hanson, PDG de Noront déclare : << Si comme moi, vous pensez au potentiel à long terme du Ring of Fire, l'offre d'échange d'actions Freewest de Noront est la seule offre qui permettra aux actionnaire de Freewest de tirer avantage des découvertes actuelles et futures. >>

CONTRÔLE QUALITÉ INDÉPENDANT ET PROTOCOLE ANALYTIQUE

Un programme de contrôle de qualité complet a été mis en place pour le projet Eagle Nest. Il inclut le regroupement des échantillons par lots de 35 auxquels sont ajoutés deux normes de matériaux de référence certifiés ; deux répliques de terrain et de pulpe font également partie de ce programme de contrôle de qualité. On peut dire avec confiance que toutes les analyses rapportées dans ce communiqué, ont passé avec succès les tests très rigoureux de contrôle de qualité tels que définis par la personne qualifiée indépendante (<< PQI >>) de Noront.

Tous les échantillons rapportés ici ont été analysés par Activation Labs (Actlabs) d'Ancaster, dans l'Ontario. Les échantillons présentés à Actlabs ont fait l'objet d'analyses multiéléments, dont le Ni et le Cu, par le biais de l'activation de quatre acides, suivies d'une analyse ICP. Les échantillons qui ont obtenu des valeurs de métal de base supérieures à la limite supérieure stipulée pour cette méthode ont fait l'objet d'une analyse supplémentaire utilisant l'ICP-OES. Pour Au, Pd et Pt, la méthode d'analyse était un essai pyrognostique sur une aliquote de 30 grammes avec un fini ICP. L'argent a été analysé par l'activation de 3 acides et par une analyse ICP.

La préparation des résultats des forages pour ce communiqué de presse a été approuvée par la direction de Noront, dont Jeremy Niemi, P.Geo, Vice-président Géologie, personne qualifiée aux termes des Canadian Securities Guidelines. A l'étape actuelle de l'exploration, le forage est insuffisant pour déterminer l'étendue de la continuité de la minéralisation nécessaire pour définir une ressource minérale pour toute minéralisation sur Eagle's Nest. Noront prévoit de fournir une ressource minérale mise à jour dans la seconde moitié 2010.

À propos de Noront : Noront Resources concentre ses activités sur ses nombreuses découvertes importantes de nickel-cuivre-platine-palladium à haute teneur, chromite et vanadium, dans une région connue sous le nom de << Cercle de feu >> [Ring of Fire], région multi-métallifère émergente située dans les basses terres de la Baie de James en Ontario, au Canada. Noront est le principal propriétaire du Cercle de feu, et continue de se démarquer et de révéler ses découvertes par des rapports techniques et économiques NI 43-101 et par un ambitieux plan de forage bien financé sur le reste de l'année 2009 et l'année 2010.

BREHAN, France, November 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Le Conseil d'administration d'Olmix s'est réuni le 3 Novembre 2009 pour arrêter les comptes de l'exercice 2008-2009 clos le 30 juin 2009.

Le chiffre d'affaires* s'est établi à MEUR 47.8* et la perte d'exploitation à MEUR 0.34* contre une perte de MEUR 2.4*pour l'exercice clos au 30 juin 2008.

Le résultat net affiche une perte de MEUR 2.57*, après prise en compte des impôts différés et des dotations aux amortissements des écarts d'acquisition.

La direction de l'entreprise précise qu'elle reste confiante quant au développement des activités du groupe pour l'exercice en cours mais ressent toutefois les effets d'une conjoncture moins dynamique y compris au sein de sa division Eco-concept.

Ringtones Fall Short in Latin America as Operators Look to Mobile Internet

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, November 4 /PRNewswire/ --

Ringtone revenue falls short in Latin America as mobile Internet access will account for almost 79 percent of all non-messaging mobile data revenue by 2014, according to the latest forecast data from Pyramid Research (ww.pyr.com), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (www.lightreading.com).

Although 11 percent of total mobile data subscribers will be ringtones users by year-end 2009, as noted in Pyramid Research's recently-released third quarter 2009 Latin America mobile data forecast (http://www.pyramidresearch.com/mdtfcst.htm?sc=PP110309_RING), deeper opportunities for network operators clearly lie in mobile Internet services. "The increasing importance of mobile Internet in the data revenue pie is a clear trend in every single market, with the subsegment growing the fastest in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico," writes Cesar Jimenez, in LA Mobile Operators Turn a Deaf Ear to Ringtones. "By 2014, we estimate, mobile Internet access in Latin America will account for US$16.5 billion, or almost 79 percent of all non-messaging mobile data revenue, whereas ringtones will make up a mere 4 percent."
