This initiative is expected to spawn significant power savings in the electrical grid and tomorrow's data centers. The partnership is built on Intersil's longstanding leadership as an expert in the development of power management technologies and recent research advances in semiconductor fabrication processes.

"The clean and efficient generation, transmission and storage of power are key challenges of the twenty-first century," said Dave Bell, CEO, Intersil Corporation. "Intersil is delighted to be working closely with one of the world's finest educational institutions to develop innovative technologies that will meet our needs for smarter, greener and more efficient power solutions."

As energy costs soar and greenhouse gases accumulate, there is an increasing need for higher-voltage, higher-performance semiconductor technologies for power grids worldwide. Intersil and Georgia Tech are creating a strategic alliance to co-develop high-voltage power management circuits using breakthrough process technologies. In addition, Intersil will fund two graduate fellowships in electrical engineering.

"Georgia Tech's partnership with Intersil is an ideal example of academic and industrial leaders joining forces to co-develop advanced real-world technologies," said Georgia Tech President G.P. 'Bud' Peterson. "Working together, we will develop sustainable energy solutions and create jobs."

The new Analog Processing Center of Excellence (ACE) is a spinout of the Georgia Electronic Design Center and is located in the Centergy One building in Technology Square on the Georgia Tech campus. The facility already employs eight engineers who use state-of-the-art computer-aided design (CAD) tools to do complex analog systems simulation.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- In August McWilliams cautioned readers that STEC was set for a fall, and fall it did. While there are still two major long-term trends working against the company, why might EMC's earnings report generate a sharp rebound in the price in the short-term? Does McWilliams think STEC is set to notably top Wall Street expectations when it reports earnings on November 3rd?

-- Are investors seeking exposure to VMware better off holding shares of EMC, which owns 84% of VMware? Does McWilliams view EMC as a long-term holding? What is his price target for the stock?

-- Citrix has moved up more than 80% since McWilliams called a "good speculative buy" in March. After the large gain, does Wall Street now fully appreciate the Citrix story or is there room for the stock to post further gains? Would McWilliams hold the stock unhedged into the company's earnings announcement?

-- F5 has moved up 83% since McWilliams called a "good speculative buy" in December. Is it time to take profits in the stock?

-- Why might Intersil be a compelling acquisition candidate in a variety of scenarios? Which companies would benefit most from acquiring Intersil? Is there a clear path to success for Intersil even if it isn't acquired?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 249% since its inception versus 21% for the S&P 500.
