IceWeb Awarded Significant Iplicity Storage Contract by Federal Agency

--Iplicity Platform Provides Government Increased Storage Scalability & Performance

STERLING, Va., Nov 04, 2009 -- IceWEB, Inc.(TM) (OTC Bulletin Board: IWEB) , www.IceWEB.com, announced today that the Company has been awarded a significant contract by a Federal Agency to provide its Iplicity Unified Storage Platform to support a large Unix environment. The initial award is for a storage area network providing more than 100 terabytes of disk capacity, and will enable the Agency to capture and archive critical log data.

"Iplicity was chosen for this contract because of its ease of use, high performance, and advanced data replication capabilities," said Tim McNamee, VP of Federal Channels. "The system will provide both fibre channel attached host and NFS NAS (network attached storage) capabilities to the Agency. This initial deployment has the potential to grow in size to a petabyte (1000 terabytes) of storage in the short-term."

"The performance, management features and pricing of the Iplicity platform made it a compelling and cost effective solution for this customer," said Gary Dunham, SVP of Product Development and Engineering for IceWEB. "In the case of this Federal Agency, it made perfect sense to augment their existing storage infrastructure with Iplicity. The feature sets built into Iplicity, all of which were critical to this agency, would have cost them more than our entire solution were they to have purchased them from their legacy storage vendor."

About IceWEB, Inc.

Headquartered just outside of Washington, D.C., IceWEB manufactures and markets purpose built appliances, network and cloud attached storage solutions and delivers on-line cloud computing application services. Its customer base includes U.S. government agencies, enterprise companies, and small to medium sized businesses (SMB). For more information, please visit www.IceWEB.com.

Whirlpool(R) Brand Hangs Smelly Clothes Out to Dry

--Wash, Dry and Save with Newest from the Laundry Leader

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Nov 02, 2009 -- Have you ever left your laundry in the washing machine by accident, only to find it smelly and wrinkled when you finally remembered to put it in the dryer? Whirlpool brand has heard consumers' call, and in response, is arming consumers with the best defense -- a washer with the ability to keep clothes smelling fresh for up to 10 hours after the cycle ends with the industry-changing FanFresh(TM) option.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081218/WHIRLPOOLBRANDLOGO )

The Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam washer's FanFresh(TM) option intermittently tumbles clothes in the wash drum for up to 10 hours after the cycle ends. Meanwhile, a quiet fan draws out moisture through a vent to help keep clothes smelling fresh and prevents wrinkles from setting in. According to a 2007 online survey conducted by Whirlpool brand, 72 percent of respondents said it is important that their clothes never smell sour when left in the washer, yet only 47 percent are satisfied that their current washer completes this task.*

"Whirlpool brand is focused on offering consumers the flexibility to live their lives rather than plan around their laundry," said Brandon Buckingham, senior brand manager, Whirlpool laundry. "The FanFresh(TM) option provides consumers with the opportunity to load their washer, run errands and go to the movies, and not worry about getting back in time to switch the wash."

While the FanFresh(TM) option solves one of consumers' biggest laundry problems today, the new Duet(R) steam washer garners one of the most efficient energy ratings available from the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) -Tier III - meaning the machine features advanced water and energy savings for the consumer. In addition, the new Duet(R) dryer is the first in the front-load category to offer an Eco cycle that uses 40 percent less energy than a conventional dryer's normal cycle when paired with a Duet(R) washer.**

According to Whirlpool Corporation research conducted by Harris Interactive in 2008, nearly three quarters (72 percent) of adults actively look for the ENERGY STAR(R) label when making purchasing decisions. With advanced water and energy savings for the consumer, the Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam washer is ENERGY STAR qualified and can save consumers more than $1,000 in lifetime water and energy costs when compared to a pre-2004 conventional washer, based on a 10-year life cycle. Couple this with the money saved in the dryer, and the savings of the Duet washer practically pays for the cost of the dryer. In fact, the new Duet(R) pair is the industry's most efficient laundry care system available based on time and energy usage.

The Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam washer has a capacity of 4.5 cu. ft., giving consumers the ability to wash up to 18 pairs of jeans in a single load. The Delay Wash setting can be used to set the washer to begin up to 18 hours later, perfect for timing during off-peak hours when utility rates may be lower or when unloading the washer is more convenient.

In addition, the Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam washer comes with the industry-first NightQuiet(TM) option, which further reduces operational sound and is great for those whose laundry rooms are close to living areas or bedrooms.

The Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam wash system adds the power of steam to select wash cycles to steam out tough stains, virtually eliminating the need to pretreat, and removes up to 95 percent of tested allergens, including dust mites and pet dander. The Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam wash system received the highest rating for water efficiency, cleaning and capacity from a leading consumer magazine.

And steam is not just for the washer. The Duet(R) steam dryer utilizes the power of steam to eliminate 99.9 percent of common household bacteria, ideal for those items that should not be washed such as backpacks, stuffed animals and pillows. And for those who want to avoid ironing and cut down on dry cleaning costs, the dryer offers a Quick Refresh steam cycle that tumbles small loads and uses steam technology to break down odors and smooth out wrinkles. In just 15 minutes, clothes are ready-to-wear.

The Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam washer (WFW9750W) will be available in White, Cranberry and Lunar Silver with an MSRP starting at $1,599, and the Whirlpool(R) Duet(R) steam dryer (electric WED9750W or gas WGD9750W) will be available in the same colors with an MSRP starting at $1,599 later this fall.

Methodology

The 2008 survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive via its QuickQuery(SM) online omnibus service on behalf of Whirlpool Corporation between December 29 and 31, 2008, among 2,042 U.S. adults aged 18 years and older. Results were weighted as needed for region, age within gender, education, household income and race/ethnicity. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. No estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated; a full methodology is available.

All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Harris Interactive avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal.

Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the U.S. adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to be invited to participate in the Harris Interactive online research panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

TeamStaff Announces Revised Business Strategy; Chief Executive Officer to Step Down on Completion of Search For Successor

SOMERSET, N.J., Nov 03, 2009 -- TeamStaff, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSTF), a national provider of healthcare and administrative staffing services, today announced that the Company has completed an in-depth strategic review of its businesses in light of recent economic conditions, trends in government spending, and changing dynamics in the healthcare market. The analysis was performed by a newly formed strategic planning committee of the board of directors and the executive management team led by Rick J. Filippelli, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and with the assistance of two management consulting firms. Each business unit of the Company was evaluated for their future prospects, and various initiatives to achieve sustainable earnings growth were considered. Based on this review, it was concluded that the interests of the shareholders would be best served by focusing the Company's resources on the development and expansion of the Company's core government staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Government Solutions.

To implement this strategic shift in the Company's business plans, the board and Mr. Filippelli mutually agreed that a change of leadership to an executive with experience and relationships in the governmental services industry would provide the new strategy with the best opportunity for success. Accordingly, Mr. Filippelli has elected to resign his position with TeamStaff effective at the end of January 2010 and assist with the transition to a new Chief Executive Officer. The board has also created a search committee and retained DHR International to identify potential candidates for Chief Executive Officer.

The grant of $19.3 million over a two year period - which Whirlpool will match with its own investments - will help the company accelerate its work to deliver to consumers smart appliances that can connect with the smart grid. For example, the company recently announced that in 2011 it would deliver one million U.S. manufactured smart dryers capable of reacting intelligently to signals from the smart grid by modifying their energy consumption to save consumers money on their home electric bills. In markets where utilities offer variable or time-of-use pricing, these dryers could save a typical consumer $20 to $40 per year, while also benefitting the environment.

"The grants announced today are a great example of public and private partnerships that will create the next generation of energy saving solutions," said Mike Todman, president, Whirlpool Corporation North America. "Smart appliances combined with time of use pricing offer consumers the greatest ability to save money on energy costs while benefitting the environment. Whirlpool Corporation continues to leverage its strong U.S. footprint to deliver the innovations that both meet consumers' needs and help to address environmental and energy concerns."

In addition, the funds will complement the company's commitment that by 2015 all of the electronically controlled appliances it produces - everywhere in the world - will be capable of receiving and responding to signals from the smart grid. This commitment is dependent on two important public-private partnerships: the development by the end of 2010 of an open, global standard for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a home appliance; and appropriate policies that reward consumers, manufacturers and utilities for using and adding these new peak demand reduction capabilities.

Third-quarter operating profit increased 8 percent compared to the prior year and was favorably impacted by cost reduction and productivity initiatives. These favorable items were partially offset by lower global sales and production volumes, unfavorable foreign currency impact and lower monetization of certain tax credits. Third-quarter results included a previously announced expense of $43 million, or $0.50 per share net of tax, related to an affiliate settlement agreement with the Brazilian competition commission.

"Our strong operating performance improvement in the quarter highlights our successful cost reduction efforts, the strength of our global operating platform, our commitment to product innovation and strong consumer brands," said Jeff M. Fettig, chairman and chief executive officer of Whirlpool Corporation. "These factors, combined with our continued emphasis on marketplace execution, will remain key focal points as we manage through this challenging macroeconomic environment."

THIRD-Quarter RegionAL Review

Whirlpool North America

Third-quarter sales of $2.5 billion declined 9 percent from the prior year. Excluding the effects of currency, sales declined approximately 7 percent from the prior year. U.S. industry unit shipments of major appliances (T7)* declined 6 percent during the third quarter.

The North America region reported operating profit of $140 million compared to $74 million in the previous year. The improvement was primarily the result of cost reduction and productivity initiatives. These factors were partially offset by lower unit production volume, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and lower product price/mix.

Based on the current economic outlook, the company expects full-year 2009 U.S. industry unit shipments to decline approximately 10 percent compared with its prior expectation of a decline between 10 percent and 12 percent.

Whirlpool Europe

Whirlpool Europe reported third-quarter sales of $899 million, a 17 percent decrease from the prior year. Excluding the effects of currency, sales declined approximately 11 percent. Overall industry unit demand during the quarter declined approximately 10 percent from the prior year.

The region reported an operating profit of $14 million during the third quarter compared with $52 million reported in the previous year. Results were negatively impacted by substantially lower volumes and the non-recurrence of an asset sale and insurance settlement recorded in the previous year. These factors were partially offset by cost reduction and productivity initiatives.

The company continues to expect full-year 2009 industry unit shipments to decline approximately 13 percent from 2008 levels.

Whirlpool Latin America

Third-quarter net sales totaled $992 million compared to $989 million in the prior year. Excluding currency translation, sales increased approximately 12 percent. The sales increase was driven by a strong increase in Brazilian appliance demand. During the quarter, the company's Brazilian appliance sales increased 40 percent in local currency and the company continued to strengthen its leadership position in the marketplace.

Operating profit totaled $93 million in the third quarter compared with $116 million in the prior year. The lower profitability is primarily related to significantly lower monetization levels of certain tax credits and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. These items were partially offset by cost reduction and productivity initiatives and an overall increase in unit shipments.

The company currently anticipates full-year 2009 Brazilian appliance shipments will increase more than 15 percent compared to the previous expectation of more than 10 percent.

Whirlpool Asia

Whirlpool Asia reported third-quarter sales of $162 million, increasing 18 percent from the prior year. Excluding the impact of currency, sales increased 26 percent. Operating profit during the quarter totaled $8 million, an increase of $8 million from the prior year. The year-over-year increase in operating profit resulted from higher unit volume, higher productivity and cost reductions, and a $3 million asset sale gain. These favorable items were partially offset by unfavorable product price/mix.

The company anticipates full-year 2009 industry unit shipments in Asia to be up 10 percent compared to the previous expectation of unit shipments of flat-to-up 5 percent from 2008 levels.

Outlook

For the full-year 2009, Whirlpool Corporation expects earnings per diluted share to be approximately $4.25 compared with the prior expectation of $3.50 to $4.00 per diluted share. For the full year, the company expects to generate free cash flow** of approximately $500 million to $600 million compared with the prior expectation of $300 million to $400 million. The company's earnings and free cash flow projections are based upon current economic forecasts and business plans.

"Our improved outlook reflects our success in restructuring our business to aggressively align our capacity and resources to lower demand levels," said Fettig. "While we continue to see uncertain and volatile demand levels in many markets, we are well-positioned to deliver higher 2009 earnings and free cash flow compared with our previous expectations."

* T7 refers to the following household appliance categories: washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, ranges and compactors.

** A reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to cash provided by operations appears below under the heading "Cash Flow Reconciliation."

Cash Flow Reconciliation

The table below reconciles actual 2009 and 2008 and projected 2009 cash provided by operations determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that free cash flow provides shareholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the company's ability to fund its activities and obligations. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including the difficulty associated with comparing companies that use similarly named non-GAAP measures whose calculations may differ from the company's calculations. As defined by the company, free cash flow is cash provided by operations after capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of assets/businesses.
