Supply Chain Advantage Suite Offers Low Total Cost of Ownership and Simple Upgrades

HighJump Software Helps Clients Maintain Low Total Cost of Ownership and Simplify Upgrades With Launch of HighJump Supply Chain Advantage Suite 10.0

Newest Release Delivers Continued Innovation in Adaptability and Increased Support for Global Supply Chain Operations

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--April 22, 2008--HighJump Software, a 3M company, a global provider of adaptable supply chain execution solutions, today announced the release of HighJump Supply Chain Advantage suite 10.0. The release combines extended functionality in the HighJump product suite and a high level of adaptability to help clients better manage material flows throughout their operations and expedite upgrades. Expanded internationalization supports increasing supply chain globalization.

"Our clients require extensive functionality and a means to easily manage business processes which change due to regulations, continuous improvement initiatives, or new approaches to manufacturing and distribution models," said Chad Collins, vice president of global strategy, HighJump Software. "HighJump Software's key value proposition is our adaptable architecture and fast upgrades, which considerably drives down our clients' total cost of ownership."

"We're pleased with the enhancements in the release as well as our ability to quickly and easily upgrade our HighJump solution and maintain low total cost of system ownership," said Becky Randelin, systems analyst, maurices, inc. "Because each new release is included in our maintenance agreement, we receive tremendous value from our continued relationship with HighJump Software."

"Most HighJump Software clients are able to perform their own upgrades without requiring a paid consulting engagement," said Steve Banker, service director, Supply Chain Management, ARC Advisory Group. "For those clients that do elect to have a HighJump consultant involved, the services fees are typically around $10,000, a figure significantly below upgrade fees for other leading best-of-breed vendors."

HighJump Supply Chain Advantage 10.0 includes numerous advances across the supply chain suite:

Warehouse Management

The flagship HighJump Warehouse Advantage system now includes a warehouse wizard to support a user-friendly, streamlined approach to warehouse set-up. The system is fully internationalized and includes translations in nine languages, including Japanese. To support optimized outbound fulfillment processes, load and wave planning tools were enhanced and utilize a new Web-based user interface. The 10.0 release also includes a flexible approach for defining and tracking unique inventory attributes without limiting the number of attributes that can be tracked for a given item.

Adaptability Tools

HighJump Software's service-oriented architecture now provides more features that allow clients to optimize and modify supply chain business processes without changing underlying product source code and impacting their ability to perform fast upgrades. HighJump Software's supply chain process modeling tool, Advantage Architect, features broader revision tracking and the addition of an enterprise application repository. This helps HighJump solutions fit within clients' enterprise IT environments. HighJump Software's Web-based, common user interface framework, WebWise, also provides a more user-friendly experience and allows product screens to be run on handheld computers and cell phones.

Billing Management for Logistics Services Providers (LSP)

A new, comprehensive solution for managing and optimizing the billing process, HighJump Billing Management enables providers of logistics services and third-party logistics to support the complex contractual requirements that often exist with their clients. With this product release, billing can be based on material handling transactions, storage capacity utilization, and client-specific billing requirements. The solution gives companies visibility into actual costs with comparisons to what was invoiced to replace the oversimplified practice of spreading client costs evenly across all accounts.

HighJump Billing Management creates a single billing platform for all systems. This is possible by accepting data imports from other applications, such as those for transportation management, time and attendance, and parcel manifesting.

Labor Management

HighJump Software's labor management solution, HighJump Labor Advantage, provides a comprehensive performance management tool to plan and manage the distribution center workforce. In addition to being fully internationalized to support various languages and regions without engineering changes, the latest release includes the ability to forecast and plan for labor within all major fulfillment functions of a facility, such as picking, packing, loading and shipping. These features allow distribution center management to ensure the proper capacity in the workforce and assign employees to the appropriate functional areas.

Warehouse Management for Small and Mid-sized Businesses

HighJump Software recently launched HighJump Warehouse Advantage-45, a warehouse management system targeted at small and mid-sized businesses. The product is designed to be implemented in 45 business days with a well-defined scope of business processes. The solution speeds the setup of data in the warehouse, including an implementation playbook that guides the client through the implementation process and detailed user guides that help clients learn to use the system.

The solution is built upon the same world-class technology as the tier one HighJump Warehouse Advantage solution. This allows companies to support growth by adding more complex warehouse management capabilities as business demands warrant.

Manufacturing Execution

HighJump Manufacturing Advantage, HighJump Software's manufacturing execution system, has been fully internationalized and features translation in Japanese. Additionally, the release includes user interface improvements to the shop floor data entry touch screen to increase the efficiency and accuracy of an operator's data entry. The new version also reduces a company's reliance on paper-based lean inventory methodologies by providing enhanced support for lean manufacturing environments, including electronic kanban integrated with warehouse management.

New Love From Above Campaign

It's Paisley, Love

McKinney and Virgin Atlantic Airways Create Virgin Atlantic Paisley as Part of New Love From Above Campaign

April 17, 2008 -- McKinney, Virgin Atlantic Airways and its agency of record, McKinney, have created a new brand expression for the innovative airline: Virgin Atlantic Paisley.

Introduced as part of Virgin Atlantic's new Love From Above campaign that helped celebrate its newly unveiled Premium Economy cabin, the highly visual, intentionally clashing red and purple paisley was designed to imply both style and substance. At first glance, the paisley reflects iconic British design. But upon further inspection, travelers can see something more: Virgin Atlantic and British bits and bobs, such as umbrellas, tea cups, lions, planes and Big Ben sprinkled throughout the lively design.

Keith Ciampa, McKinney interactive creative director, teamed with UK-based Robert Gonzales to create design templates flexible enough to plug in dynamic messages that were tailored to a variety of environments and audiences both online and off. The paisley can be seen throughout the entire Love From Above branding platforms that includes everything from beer glasses and coasters to outdoor boards, kiosks, wrapped London cabs, online banners and Virgin Atlantic's first-ever WAP site, http://LoveFromAbove.mobi.

Quotes attributable to Aimee Young, head of brand and advertising, Virgin Atlantic North America:

-    "For 24 years, we've approached flying differently, treating our passengers like guests and innovating on their behalf. In recent years, we've been known for the distinctive features in Upper Class, such as the complimentary limo service and onboard bar. Love From Above reminds travelers we deliver a phenomenal experience regardless of where they sit on the plane."

-    "The paisley celebrates Virgin Atlantic's belief that traveling doesn't have to be a boring, stuffy affair and Love From Above helps us connect with people who see travel the same way we do."

Quotes attributable to Keith Ciampa, Interactive Creative Director at McKinney:

-    "Virgin Atlantic Airways is a premium brand and our goal was to capture the brilliant basics and magic touches that create every flight experience."

-    "Virgin Atlantic Airways is known for its unparalleled service and innovation. Including the newly unveiled Premium Economy cabin, which is now featured on every flight from the US. But how many companies can boast their very own paisley?"

Managing rental properties is no easy task; the amount of advertising, paperwork, appointments, and payments that landlords and renters must deal with can be overwhelming. RentalSpaceNetwork.com will not only save people time and money, but it will also dramatically lessen the environmental footprint left behind by significantly reducing the use of paper and the amount of gas consumed powering vehicles.

The E-signature act of 2000 changed the way Americans do business by making the electronic signing of documents as legally binding as hand written signatures. RentalSpaceNetwork.com has created all of the necessary rental documentation in e-signature format which allows landlords and tenants the ability to sign, exchange and store documents online thus eliminating the need for printing, faxing, filing, and appointment scheduling.

No more searching the internet for the proper forms and rental laws for your state; no more hard-to-read hand written leases; no more driving to meet with someone to give them an application or lease to fill out; no more fax machines.

In addition to the document exchange service, new Landlord Sign-Ups receive a customized ad for their property which includes a detailed property description, pictures, floor plans and virtual tours. Every ad also comes with an online availability calendar and printable property brochure. This ad will be placed on RentalSpaceNetwork.com and on one other keyword specific rental website giving the property valuable exposure.

RentalSpaceNetwork.com also provides a full payment center, where landlords can easily accept rent payments from their tenants online without having to set up their own merchant account. All that's required is a bank account, and the service comes with no set-up fees and no monthly fees. Landlords no longer have to wait for rent checks to arrive in the mail and are able to expedite the application and reservation process by accepting fees and deposits online. The time wasted making trips to the bank to deposit checks is eliminated and Landlords never again have to hear the age old excuse of "It must have gotten lost in the mail."

By using RentalSpaceNetwork.com, landlords can advertise their properties, screen prospective tenants, sign all of the proper rental documentation, and receive all of the necessary payments; all in one quick and easy to use place. Registered members can access and use their account from anywhere they have an internet connection.

For a limited time, landlords can try the service free of charge for one month for all of their rental properties. If they like what they see and wish to continue using the service, they can sign-up monthly for $24.99 per property or yearly for $199. There is also a special Bulk Listing Program for property managers or landlords with numerous rental properties. Landlords who choose to stop using the service will always be able access their account to view and print any document previously created. All data on the site is stored on secure servers behind numerous layers of protection and encryption.

All registered members of RentalSpaceNetwork.com undergo an identity verification test to help prevent identity theft and online fraud. All members can rest assured that the person they are doing business with on the site is who they say they are.

Video Chat Services To Penetrate Mobile Adult Content Market

Mobile Adult Content Market to Approach $3.5 Billion by 2010, Driven by Streamed Video and Video Chat Services, Says Juniper Research

The increasing adoption of streamed video and video chat services, fuelled by a sharp rise in the adoption of 3G services, will push revenues derived from mobile adult services to nearly $3.5 billion by 2010, according to a new report by Juniper Research.

Hampshire, UK  -  November 27, 2007 -- The increasing adoption of streamed video and video chat services, fuelled by a sharp rise in the adoption of 3G services, will push revenues derived from mobile adult services to nearly $3.5 billion by 2010, according to a new report by Juniper Research.

The report also found that a significant proportion of new revenues were expected to hail from the relatively underdeveloped North American markets, despite the existing restrictions on on-portal content.

According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, "While operators in the US and Canada are still very reluctant to introduce age-verification systems and offer adult content, it is a completely different story off-portal with a number of service providers now offering D2C content and services aimed at those markets. Furthermore, as mobile subscribers become more comfortable and familiar with the off-portal environment, then the traffic to these sites is likely to mushroom."

The report also found that while new legislation in markets such as China and South Korea would depress growth in Asia, adoption in Eastern European markets was rising at a higher rate than previously anticipated, in part thanks to the greater willingness of operators in the region to offer a wide variety of explicit, white-label content on-portal.

"While in most forms of mobile entertainment, the brand is king. That truism does not apply in mobile adult content," said Holden. "The most popular genre amongst consumers is graphic, amateur content. If operators truly wish to maximise their revenues from adult content, then they should provide consumers with a mix of genres, in which white-label content is given equal prominence to that of major brands."

Other findings from the Juniper report include:
•    Western Europe will remain the largest regional market for mobile adult services throughout the period covered by the report, with revenues rising from $775m in 2007 to $1.5bn by 2012.
•    Global revenues from video chat services will rise from just $138m in 2007 to more than $1.5bn by 2012.
•    While users of adult services are far less price sensitive than consumers of other mobile entertainment services, service providers should be careful not to overprice content.

Juniper Research assesses the current and future status of mobile adult services based on interviews, case studies and analysis from representatives of some of the leading organisations in the growing mobile adult services industry.

I thought I would share with you today a great resource.  You'll want to tell the PR people, marketers, publicists, editors, bloggers, writers, and journalists you work with about it too, because it's all about them and their needs. 

If you're not already using www.helpareporter.com, check it out.  It's a service much like that other one that connects PR people and journalists looking for sources, but this one is free.  It used to be on Facebook, but grew too large for it.  Once you subscribe, you receive about three (sometimes two, no more than four, ever) emails a day with reporter, editor and freelance writer queries, written so you can quickly and easily scan the topics for relevance. 

If the topics do not apply to you or your clients, just hit delete.  If they do, you may contact the reporter or editor directly, as instructed.

Note that Peter Shankman, the list facilitator, is very strict about helping out these reporters.  Respond only if your information (or your client's info) is relevant and on target.  If not,  and you send non-relevant emails more than once, you'll get bumped off the list. Quickly. I've heard it can happen. He's a big believer in good Karma, and he also thinks he's quite funny, and tends to also include a link to a fun site, or a funny story about his day in the emails. It's a nice refreshing change from the boring, non-funny emails we usually deal with.

Reporters can post queries at www.helpareporter.com/press, and sources can sign up at www.helpareporter.com - As I said, it's free. Peter asks that if you find it useful, then you make a donation to any animal rescue charity or animal hospital.

You can forward the queries to others who are a fit, but do not post any queries (or the editor/reporter contact info) on any blogs or public websites. I received permission from Peter to send you this note, since this is a private group and I'm helping to spread the word to both subscribers and media to sign up.

The more people who use it, the better it becomes. By the way, Peter wrote almost everything you see before this line with a few edits by me. All the links that don't go to helpareporter.com were added by me.

National Arbitration Forum Resolves 3 Domain Name Disputes

The National Arbitration Forum Resolves Univision, Webkinz and Hershey's Kisses Domain Name Disputes

Dispute resolution program boasts a legal process that is quick, inexpensive, neutral and expert.

Minneapolis  -  September 13, 2007 -- www.domains.adrforum.com -- The National Arbitration Forum recently issued decisions on the rights to Univision.tv, Webkinzz.com, Webkniz.com, Weblinz.com and ChocolateKiss.com.

"Domain names have irreplaceable value for trademark holders. Abusive practices like cybersquatting and typosquatting can lead to disputes," said Kristine Dorrain, Internet Legal Counsel. "The National Arbitration Forum domain name dispute resolution program boasts a legal process that is quick, inexpensive, neutral and expert."

The following three decisions were made in accordance with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) by independent and neutral arbitrators on the National Arbitration Forum's panel.

Univision.tv
On June 7, 2007, Univision Communications Inc., the premier Spanish-language media company in the United States, submitted a complaint electronically with the National Arbitration Forum asserting legal rights to the domain name Univision.tv. The Complainant requested the dispute be decided by a three-member panel.

The Panel concluded that the domain name is identical to the registered trademark UNIVISION with the addition of the .tv extension. Respondent and registered owner Edmundo Norte could not support his claim of an intent for future use as a parody site and did not demonstrate rights to or legitimate interests in Univision.tv. The Panel found that the Respondent offered to sell the domain name for an amount in excess of reasonable development expenses which supports findings of bad faith registration and use. The Complainant successfully established all three elements required under the ICANN Policy and defended its trademark in domain name dispute resolution. On August 16, 2007, Univision.tv was ordered to be transferred to Univision Communications Inc.

Webkinzz.com
Ganz, owner of Webkinz a popular line of real and virtual stuffed animals, submitted a complaint electronically on May 21, 2007. The National Arbitration Forum panelist found that the domain names Webkinzz.com, Webkniz.com, and Weblinz.com were registered by renowned cybersquatter Texas International Property Associates.

The Panel found that the three disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the WEBKINZ mark all with slight typographical variations. The Panel went on to find that erroneous variations of Complainant's WEBKINZ mark are typical of typosquatting -- using a website to profit from the mistyping of someone else's trademark -- and prove the Respondent's lack of rights and legitimate interests. Because the Respondent used the websites to generate revenue through pay-per-click advertisements it was found that the domain names were registered and used in bad faith. Ganz proved all three elements required of the ICANN Policy and was granted the rights to Webkinzz.com, Webkniz.com, and Weblinz.com on July 19, 2007.

ChocolateKiss.com
The Hershey Company, one of the largest chocolate production facilities in the world, filed a claim electronically on April 20, 2007 against Respondent R. Reaves. Complainant, the Hershey Company, requested that the dispute over ChocolateKiss.com be handled by a panel of three National Arbitration Forum arbitrators.

The Panel found that ChocolateKiss.com was confusingly similar to Complainant's KISSES mark, as the term "chocolate" was simply descriptive of Complainant's business and the combination of the terms was calculated to suggest the involvement of Complainant. The Panel also found that Respondent lacked rights or legitimate interests because the content displayed on Respondent's website gave the erroneous impression that it was affiliated with Complainant. Finally, the Panel found that Respondent registered and was using the domain name in bad faith because Respondent was using this implied affiliation with Complainant to attract users to its website for commercial gain. Accordingly, the Panel granted Complainant's request for a transfer of the domain name on June 8, 2007.

Foreign Investment in Thin Film Solar Stock

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close- Up on Solar Stocks Performance; "Solar Stocks Exploded to the Upside" Reports J. Peter Lynch

Foreign Investment in Thin Film Solar Stock Attributed to Momentum

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC -March 31, 2008, www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close- up on solar stocks following last weeks surge.

Commenting on recent solar stock activity, Brian C. Yerger, Research Analyst at Jesup & Lamont Securities attributed some of the momentum to thin film solar company, Ascent Solar Technologies (News, Market ). Norsk Hydro ASA increased ownership in ASTI by purchasing an additional 2,341,897 shares with gross proceeds to the company of approximately $28.4 million. He reports in an audio commentary, "With a weak dollar, foreign companies may be looking at some of these smaller solar stocks as extremely cheap investments in terms of future performance."

Other factors in the solar stocks spike include earnings from Solarfun beating estimates and the announcement of the Southern California Edison (News, Market) 250 megawatt installation.

Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J Peter Lynch gives a different spin," In my opinion, one of the primary reasons for this solar rally is really quite simple - NO MORE SELLERS were left to drive solar stock down any further. In his recent column he goes on to say, "Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, solar stocks literally exploded (up over 15% for the week) catching almost everyone by total surprise. The general market has recently been in turmoil over the housing crisis, the credit crunch and the looming fear of an impending recession; not exactly a general market environment conducive for rallies in any sector. But in spite of this bleak backdrop the solar sector roared ahead regardless."

In terms of future success in the solar sector he reports he looks for companies that are " vertically integrated in the traditional silicon segment, have cost effective thin film products or are in higher margin areas such as building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). "

Lux Research forecasts a shakeout in the solar industry, "We project that the supply of solar modules will exceed demand in 2009, leading to falling prices and a shake-out among companies that aren't prepared to thrive in this new environment - particularly crystalline silicon players that haven't invested in new thin-film technologies."

Tom Djokovich, CEO of thin film solar company XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) presented, "Thin film solar technologies offer opportunities to deliver the lower cost per watt. This is due to lower material costs, and the ability to scale and automate manufacturing processes. I believe that these are among the reasons that analysts anticipate greater compounded growth rates for thin films than other solar technologies."

XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) is developing amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell manufacturing processes to produce TFPV solar modules. XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) closed at 0.44 on Friday, up 10.00% on over 460,000 shares. Showcase Profile: http://www.investorideas.com/CO/XSNX/Default.asp
