Clearwire Expands Sales Distribution for CLEAR(TM) 4G Mobile Internet Service in Philadelphia
Andrew Kupiec Named CLEAR General Manager for the Philadelphia Market
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 05, 2009 -- --Consumers and Businesses now have Access to Mobile Internet Service Several Times Faster than 3G --Clearwire to Showcase Mobile WiMAX Capabilities and Devices During Consumer Launch Event Today at Love Park in Center City --4G Mobile Internet Available for as Low as $30/Month at Clear.com Clearwire Communications, LLC, an operating subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR), announced today the expansion of its sales operations for CLEAR's super fast mobile Internet service throughout the Philadelphia region. The company also named Andrew Kupiec as general manager for the Philadelphia market.
With CLEAR, consumers and businesses can access the Internet wirelessly, at true broadband speeds -- at home, in the office, and on the go anywhere in the CLEAR coverage area. CLEAR covers 1000 square miles and approximately 3.6 million people in the Philadelphia market. Regionally, service extends as far north as Bucks County, south to the Delaware state line below the Philadelphia airport, east to Cherry Hill, NJ and west to the Phoenixville and Malvern areas.
"CLEAR is excited to bring to Philadelphia residents, businesses and visitors an Internet experience similar to what they're used to having at home or the office, anywhere around town or on the go," said Andrew Kupiec, Clearwire General Manager, Philadelphia. "We're pleased to provide this community a valuable new category of Internet service designed to make people's lives more enjoyable and more productive." A CLEAR Difference The CLEAR customer experience is similar to that provided by Wi-Fi, but without the short range limitations of a traditional Internet hot spot. CLEAR uses a wireless 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi called WiMAX, which provides service areas measured in miles, not feet. Furthermore, CLEAR gives you average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps.* As the Internet integrates deeper into daily life, the opportunities to stay connected and be productive are enhanced by CLEAR in numerous ways. For example: -- A mobile professional no longer needs to seek out Wi-Fi hotspots or be constrained by the speeds and limitations of 3G modem cards; -- A college student or retiree can now have affordable Internet service to meet their needs at home, on campus and on-the-go; -- A commuter can now work or access entertainment sites like Hulu or Pandora on the way home; -- A busy parent can now have full Internet connectivity for kids studying or playing games in the back of the family minivan.
For these and many other customers, CLEAR's simple and innovative pricing provides ultimate flexibility. CLEAR's mobile and residential plans can be purchased by the day or by the month, and with several no service contract options are available. Home Internet service plans start at $25 (U.S.) per month, while mobile Internet plans start at $35 per month, or customers can purchase a convenient day pass for $10. Additional savings are available for customers by purchasing a combination of services that could include home-and-mobile or mobile-and-mobile Internet plans starting at $55 for both, or by signing up for a two-year service agreement. The dual-mode 4G/3G plan is available for just $70 per month with a two-year service agreement. Customers can find full details about pricing options, business plans and purchase the service online at www.clear.com

Converted Organics Appoints Raj Mehta, Ph.D., Microbiology Technical Advisor
BOSTON, Nov 05, 2009 -- Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today the Company has appointed Raj Mehta, Ph.D. as its new Microbiology Technical Advisor. Dr. Mehta will work with Converted Organics on all matters related to microbiology, including the Company's proprietary High Temperature Liquid Composting (HTLC) microbial digestion technology, potential product line extensions, and technology and protocols related to the formulation, evaluation and production of potential new products.
Dr. Mehta brings over 30 years of biotechnology, agricultural, microbiology and biochemistry experience to Converted Organics. Dr. Mehta founded the environmental biotechnology company Organica, Inc. in 1993, and served as its President and Chief Technical Officer until June of this year. In this capacity he was responsible for the development and manufacturing of naturally-occurring, biodegradable organic products for consumer, industrial and agricultural markets. Prior to his tenure at Organica, Inc., Dr. Mehta served as president of Biopharm International, where he provided scientific consulting and technical transfer negotiating services to agricultural, pharmaceutical, chemical and bioremediation companies internationally. Dr. Mehta has also served as a consultant for Mutual Pharmaceutical, Ringer Corporation, Rohm & Haas, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Reuter Laboratories, and Cell Products, and was an Associated Senior Investigator and Senior Scientist for SmithKline & French Labs. He has held teaching positions at India's University of Baroda and M.G. Science Institute. Dr. Mehta received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in microbiology and biochemistry from the University of Texas and Gujarat University.
"Raj is an excellent addition to Converted Organics' scientific team, and we are confident that the business will benefit from his very extensive microbiology and agricultural experience," said Edward J. Gildea, President of Converted Organics. "Raj joins Converted Organics as we continue building our nationwide customer base, look to expand our high-quality organic fertilizer product offerings, and continually work to improve the efficiency of our manufacturing operations." "Converted Organics utilizes one of the most unique technologies I have ever seen, the High Temperature Liquid Composting process, to create very novel and effective organic fertilizer products," said Dr. Mehta. "I believe the future potential of the Company is very promising, and I look forward to adding my expertise to the talented team at Converted Organics, and working with them to expand the business." About Converted Organics Inc.
Converted Organics (NASDAQ:COIN, www.convertedorganics.com), based in Boston, MA, is dedicated to producing high-quality, all-natural, organic soil amendment and fertilizer products through food waste recycling. The Company uses its proprietary High Temperature Liquid Composting (HTLC) system, a proven, state-of-the-art microbial digestion technology, to process various biodegradable food wastes into dry pellet and liquid concentrate organic fertilizers that help grow healthier food and improve environmental quality. Converted Organics sells and distributes its environmentally-friendly fertilizer products in the retail, professional turf management, and agribusiness markets.
Converted Organics' flagship manufacturing facility is located in Woodbridge, New Jersey. A second manufacturing site is located in Gonzales, California. Converted Organics' products have been tested in numerous field trials for more than a dozen crops with the result that, on average, the net value of the farmer's crop increased 11-16 percent, depending on the particular crop and product application. This is due, in part, to the disease suppression characteristics of the product, which reduce or eliminate the need for other costly, often toxic, crop protection applications. In a number of lab and field trials, Converted Organics' liquid product has been shown to be effective in mitigating powdery mildew, a leaf fungus that affects most plants and grasses and restricts the flow of water and nutrients to the plant. Increased use of nitrogen in commercial agriculture and turf grass applications, such as on golf courses, has reduced the soil's ability to absorb nitrogen and other nutrients. Using the products produced by Converted Organics helps restore the soil by replenishing these micronutrients. This reduces the amount of nitrogen required in a virtuous cycle that benefits from long-term use. As a result, use of the product reduces chemical run-off to streams, ponds and rivers, an objective with significant long-term benefits to the environment.
Converted Organics' products have a long shelf life compared to many other organic fertilizers. The Company's fertilizer products can be used on a stand-alone basis or in combination with more traditional fertilizers and crop protection products. Converted Organics expects to benefit from increased regulatory focus on organic waste processing and on environmentally-friendly growing practices.

BROOKINGS, S.D., Nov 11, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --
Daktronics Inc. (Nasdaq:DAKT), in conjunction with the Orlando Magic and the City of Orlando, announced today that it will provide an integrated scoring, video and advertising display system for the new Amway Center scheduled to open in Orlando in the fall of 2010. Installation of the first displays of the multi-million dollar system will begin in early 2010.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=6836
"The new venue will be a technological showcase," said Alex Martins, Orlando Magic Chief Operating Officer. "Our incorporation of the latest digital displays by Daktronics is another example of the entertaining and exciting technology that awaits patrons of the new Amway Center. Daktronics was chosen because of its experience and reputation in the industry, its ability to deliver truly integrated scoring and video display systems in a turnkey fashion, and its ability to provide service for the life of the equipment. Next year our fans, and the millions of visitors to the venue in the future, along with our corporate sponsors, will truly love this high definition super system."
Daktronics will design and manufacture more than 50 full-color light emitting diode (LED) displays for the Amway Center, including one of the world's largest suspended scoreboards.
The centerhung scoreboard alone will include four primary high definition LED video displays with 840 lines of resolution (approximately 17 feet high by 24 feet wide), eight auxiliary video/scoring/statistics displays, and two LED ring displays. The venue will be the first in the world to utilize high resolution 6 mm surface mount LED pixel technology on all of the centerhung digital displays. More than 9 million individual LEDs will be used in the 18 displays incorporated into the centerhung scoreboard. Overall dimensions of the centerhung scoreboard are 42 feet by 41 feet by 41 feet (HxWxD), making it the largest and most capable of any in NBA venues.
Complementing the primary scoreboard will be two LED ribbon boards mounted on the interior fascia of the seating decks. One 360-degree display will encircle the entire seating bowl and measure more than 1,100 feet in circumference. The second will measure more than 750 feet in length. Daktronics LED ribbon boards are extremely popular with fans and sponsors alike because of their ability to present exciting motion graphics and real time content, including in-game statistics, out-of-town scores, closed captioning information, animation and video clips. Both ribbon displays will take advantage of Daktronics patented ProRail(R) attachment system with a design that provides improved sight lines and reduced material and construction costs.
Another unique aspect of the display system will be a network of portal displays on various levels of the arena. Twenty-seven smaller full-color digital displays will provide additional information and recognize sponsors at various entrances between the seating bowl and concourse and other gathering areas.
The integrated display system will continue on the outside of the building. The Amway Center will be the first sports and entertainment venue in North America to use Daktronics ProPixel(R) freeform LED technology on the exterior. This unique technology will be mounted on the exterior of the building in an open-air concourse area. Full-color ProPixel(R) LED strips allow for great visibility and image clarity for those viewers in front of the display, while allowing those behind the display to see through it. This exterior display, measuring approximately 46 feet high by 54 feet wide, will reach millions of motorists traveling by the Amway Center on Interstate 4.
"We are excited to provide this unique super system for the Amway Center and Orlando Magic," said Brent Stevens of Daktronics. "Working very closely with the Magic and the City of Orlando, we've developed a system that will 'wow' fans and provide the programming flexibility required to manage a busy multi-use venue."
A curved LED display on the building's corner "tower", near the entrance to the future Magic retail store, will promote events and other items to the public. The display will measure approximately 8 feet high by 80 feet wide, utilizing Daktronics HD-12 technology.
Additional full-color HD-12 exterior displays include a digital marquee attached to the parking garage and one above the box office area. Fourteen smaller flat panel displays will be mounted near ticket windows to direct ticket buyers to the proper windows for quick service, and will also provide additional information.
Daktronics powerful new Show Control System will be front and center in the video control room. Its robust software suite allows users to design, edit and produce an endless variety of colorful digital content and instantly deliver clips to the displays throughout the venue. Show control works with other Daktronics control components including the scoring, timing and statistics systems to keep track of the basketball action and other sporting events that will take place in the Amway Center. Daktronics' NBA statistical interface provides the ability to immediately present an incredible variety of player and team statistics, in text and graphic formats. Transparent LED shot/game clocks, time expiration light strips on the backboards, 41 digital clocks located in the locker rooms and throughout the venue, and scoreboards for the basketball practice court are also part of the integrated super system.
Additional Display System Facts
* The displays on the main centerhung scoreboard include more than 9 million individual LEDs, creating more than 3,800 square feet of viewable surface area (nearly equal to 1000 37" flat panel televisions) * Approximately 11.5 million individual LEDs will be used in all the interior and exterior displays within the integrated system * Video displays have the capability to show 4.4 trillion different shades of color * An estimated 10 miles of wiring will provide power and signal to the system's displays * The centerhung scoreboard will weigh more than 40 tons and be suspended, raised and lowered with a 85,000 lb. capacity Vortek(R) hoist, manufactured by Daktronics at its New York facility.
