DREAMGIRLS - Music From the Motion Picture to Be Released by Music World Music/Sony Urban Music/Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax on Tuesday, December 5
Smash Soundtrack Album From Highly Anticipated DreamWorks/Paramount Film, 'Dreamgirls,' Features an Incredible Line-Up Including Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Anika Noni Rose And Newcomer Jennifer Hudson
Nov. 6 /Music World Entertainment announced today that Music World Music/Sony Urban Music/Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax will release DREAMGIRLS -- Music From the Motion Picture, the official soundtrack album for the avidly awaited DreamWorks/Paramount film, "Dreamgirls," on Tuesday, December 5, 2006.
The film, "Dreamgirls," opens nationwide on Monday, December 25, 2006.
"Music World Music is thrilled to release the soundtrack for such a popular classic as 'Dreamgirls,'" says an enthused Mathew Knowles, President and CEO of Music World Entertainment. "The artist line-up features today's brightest and most coveted award-winning superstars in the entertainment industry and we are confident this album will make record-breaking, chart-topping history!"
Twenty-five years after first bringing Broadway audiences to their feet, the Tony Award-winning musical sensation "Dreamgirls" comes to the big screen starring Academy Award(R) winner Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles, Danny Glover, newcomer Jennifer Hudson, Tony Award winner Anika Noni Rose and Eddie Murphy.
Set in the turbulent early 1960s to mid-70s, "Dreamgirls" follows the rise of a trio of women -- Effie (Hudson), Deena (Knowles) and Lorrell (Rose) -- who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Foxx), who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James "Thunder" Early (Murphy). Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Although The Dreams become a crossover phenomenon, they soon realize that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher than they ever imagined.
In addition to numbers first heard in the original Broadway musical, DREAMGIRLS -- Music From the Motion Picture will premiere four new original songs including the first single "Listen" by Beyonce (scheduled for release on November 14, 2006) and "Love You I Do" by Jennifer Hudson. The second single slated for release from the soundtrack is "One Night Only" by Beyonce. Among the original classic tracks from the musical included on the soundtrack are "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" (Jennifer Hudson); "Dreamgirls" (Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose); "Steppin' to the Bad Side" (Jamie Foxx); "Fake Your Way to the Top" (Eddie Murphy, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose); "Move (You're Steppin' on My Heart)" (Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce and Anika Noni Rose); "Family" (Jamie Foxx and Keith Robinson); "I Am Changing" (Jennifer Hudson); "Cadillac Car" (Eddie Murphy); "I Meant You No Harm" (Eddie Murphy); "Heavy" (Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce and Anika Noni Rose) and "Hard To Say Goodbye My Love" (Beyonce, Sharon Leal and Anika Noni Rose).

Nov. 6, 2006 -- FotoNation, (www.fotonation.com), a world-leading imaging and connectivity solutions company for the digital photography industry, announced today that it has been selected by Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) to provide wireless PTP-IP technology for Trimble’s Mapping & Geographic Information System (GIS) handheld product line. Trimble’s new TrimPix technology enabled by FotoNation, links high resolution digital photographs to GIS features using Wi-Fi capable Nikon cameras. The technology is being showcased at the Trimble Dimensions Users Conference in Las Vegas and the European Conference for ESRI Users in Athens, Greece.

As each photo is taken, the Nikon camera automatically transfers the digital image wirelessly to Trimble’s handheld GPS receiver or field computer. Once the photo has been transferred, it is linked to GIS (Geographic Information System) data for use with mapping and searching applications. Current Nikon cameras supporting the WiFi capability include the affordable COOLPIX models P1, P2, P3, S6 and S7c.

“We are delighted to be selected by Trimble, as they are a world leader in GPS technology,” said Eran Steinberg, CEO of FotoNation. “FotoNation has developed one of the industry’s strongest core competencies in the design and implementation of wireless digital photography solutions. We foresee vast potential for many other vertical applications such as this,” he continued.

FotoNation PTP-IP Wireless Standard

FotoNation was selected for Trimble’s wireless implementation because of its expertise in PTP-IP wireless communications transfer protocol, which was standardized in 2005 by CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) for the transfer of images and other digital media content across TCP/IP and WiFi networks between digital imaging devices and services.

“The new TrimPix technology provides Trimble’s GIS data collection customers with a more productive and flexible workflow,” said, Doug Merrill, General Manager for Trimble’s Mapping & GIS Division. “FotoNation provided Trimble with their deep knowledge and expertise of camera connectivity that quickly enabled us to bring this new imaging capability to market.”
Through FotoNation Connected-Photography® solutions, digital cameras can be connected to numerous devices, including printers, computers, handhelds, cellphones, in-store kiosks, TVs, and PDAs, etc. The PTP-IP standard allows companies to open up to new applications that can take advantage of instant image transfer to/from camera phones, digital cameras and other digital imaging devices.

PBS to Air Ken Burns's 'THE WAR,' a New Seven-Part Epic Documentary About World War II, in September 2007
Burns to Show Highlights at the World War II Conference in New Orleans on November 16, 2006
Promotion for the Film to Begin this November to Coincide with Two Nights of Military History Around Veterans Day
Nov. 6 PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) announced today that it will air the new Ken Burns documentary series, THE WAR, in September 2007. The seven-part documentary series, directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, explores the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective by following the fortunes of so- called ordinary men and women who get caught up in the greatest cataclysm in human history.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061106/DCM029-a ) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061106/DCM029-b ) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061106/DCM029LOGO-c )
Plans call for THE WAR to air over two weeks beginning on Sunday, September 16 (four nights the first week and then three nights the second week) from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. In addition to the national broadcast on PBS, THE WAR will also air simultaneously on PBS High Definition Channel with surround sound. PBS will repeat each episode the night it airs, stage marathon viewings on the weekends, and launch the film as a weekly series after its first two-week run. The series will also be rebroadcast on PBS's World Channel following the original broadcast. A web page dedicated to THE WAR will also be launched this week at pbs.org/thewar.
Burns will show highlights of the film at the International Conference on World War II at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. (The conference dates are November 16 - 19, 2006.) Participants will include: former war correspondent and legendary CBS newsman Walter Cronkite; WWII bomber pilot and former senator George McGovern; war correspondents Andy Rooney and Richard C. Hottelet; James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers; and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who will discuss the liberation of Eastern Europe and the Cold War; British author Sir Max Hastings; and noted World War II historian, Donald L. Miller. Burns will show highlights from THE WAR at a dinner event on November 16. (For more information on the conference visit http://www.ww2conference.org/)
Six years in the making, this epic 14-hour film, reminiscent in scope and power of Burns's landmark series THE CIVIL WAR, focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed and quintessentially American towns -- Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota. These four communities stand in for -- and could represent -- any town in the United States that went through the war's four devastating years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through their own personal and quite often harrowing journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbors, as well as the country they helped to save for generations to come.
"The Second World War was so massive, catastrophic and complex, it is almost beyond the mind's and the heart's capacity to process everything that happened and, more important, what it meant on a human level," said Burns. "Every person in the country was deeply affected by this war, whether in battle, at home, at work, or in the case of Japanese-Americans, in internment camps. By focusing on the personal stories of ordinary Americans who had extraordinary experiences, the film tries to bring one of the biggest events in the history of the world down to a very intimate scale. And in the end, we all begin to see, I think, that there are no 'ordinary' lives."
"PBS has a deep and abiding respect for the history, drama and tragedy of war," said John F. Wilson, Senior Vice President, PBS Programming. "It's critical that we capture the stories of the generation that fought and lived through World War II before they are lost to us forever. Serving our mission to educate and inform, PBS's goal for THE WAR is to reach into every home and classroom -- so together we can better understand what we as a nation experienced in those difficult years and what we as a nation accomplished."
Accompanying the series will be a companion book, written by Geoffrey C. Ward and introduced by Ken Burns, that will be published by Alfred A. Knopf; Ward and Burns collaborated previously on the unexpected bestseller The Civil War. PBS Home Video is producing a complete DVD box set that will feature "making of" footage and an interview with Burns and others involved in the film. The soundtrack will be released in September 2007 by Sony BMG Legacy Recordings. As with all of Burns's films, there will be an extensive educational outreach component and an interactive Web page that provides more information on the film, the battles and related issues.
"THE WAR is a stunning achievement in filmmaking," said Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of the Knopf Publishing Group, "and possibly the most complete rendering of war ever captured by a documentarian. It is an honor to be working with Ken and Geoffrey once again on this very special book, which promises to be a landmark publishing event." Knopf is announcing a first printing of 750,000 copies for the book, which will go on sale nationwide August 21, 2007.
PBS will begin promoting THE WAR on November 8 between the broadcast of three productions from Thirteen/WNET New York that deal with World War II: SECRETS OF THE DEAD: DOGFIGHT OVER GUADALCANAL, a modern investigation of the legendary World War II showdown between an American and Japanese pilot, using restored vintage planes and computer-generated recreations (November 8, 2006, 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. ET); WARPLANE, the story of the evolution of air power (November 8 & 15, 2006, 9:00 - 11:00 p.m.); and SECRETS OF THE DEAD: BOMBING NAZI DAMS, a profile of one of the strangest missions of World War II, the dropping of the bouncing bomb on Nazi dams (November 15, 2006, 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. ET).
In addition to Keith David's narration, THE WAR features first-person voices read by some of America's greatest actors. Tom Hanks reads the voice of Al McIntosh, the editor of the Rock County Star-Herald in Luverne, Minnesota, whose weekly columns poignantly tried to explain the unexplainable to his neighbors. Other voices include Josh Lucas, Bobby Canavale, Samuel L. Jackson, Eli Wallach, Robert Wahlberg, Carolyn McCormack, Adam Arkin and Kevin Conway.
THE WAR is a production of Florentine Films and WETA Washington, D.C., directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, written by Geoffrey C. Ward, produced by Sarah Botstein, co-producers Peter Miller and David McMahon, episode editors, Paul Barnes, Erik Ewers and Tricia Reidy, cinematography Buddy Squires and narrated by Keith David.

Jadoo Power Allocated $2.4 Million
from 2007 Defense Appropriations Bill
Congressman Dan Lungren Recognizes Jadoo as an Emerging Energy Company

Jadoo Power Systems Inc. (Jadoo) www.jadoopower.com, the leading supplier of portable fuel cell systems, announced today that Jadoo’s SOCOM Power Program will be allocated $2.4 million in additional funding as part of the U.S. Military 2007 Defense Appropriations Bill. The bill was signed into law by President Bush on September 29, 2006.

“This funding will allow Jadoo to continue their advanced development efforts on fuel cell technologies,” said Congressman Dan Lungren (CA-03), who represents Jadoo’s district in California. “Their product offerings will support our soldiers in the field by significantly reducing the carry weight of legacy battery technology during mission critical deployments. I am pleased that the House recognizes the innovative work that Jadoo is conducting in taking fuel cell technology from the lab and delivering the critical power necessary to protect our homeland.”

Building upon other successful contract awards (see release March 3, 2006 at http://www.thomas-pr.com/pressreleases/jadoosoc.html), Jadoo has been able to push forward into many other power support markets and applications such as emergency preparedness, portable radio and laptop battery recharging, as well as a battery replacement for emergency lighting and critical communication devices like satellite phones and modems.

“I was impressed by the quality of work performed by Jadoo to deliver the initial prototypes for our radio system,” said Mitch Wathen, SOCOM´s Naval Air Systems Command representative. “Success in this program will open the potential for widespread adoption of such technology for additional military needs.”

“We are excited to be recognized for our hard work. The support we have received from Congressman Lungren’s office has been instrumental in advancing Jadoo’s product offerings in the market,” said Larry Bawden, President and CEO at Jadoo. “We are focused on delivering game-changing technology to improve the effectiveness of our military, law enforcement and emergency responders while protecting the Homeland”

Hip-Hop A-Listers Diddy, Ludacris, Snoop, The Game and Young Jeezy to Light Up Stage at Inaugural BET HIP-HOP AWARDS on November 15
Nov. 3 / -- BET announced today that hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg, multi-platinum rapper and Academy award-winning film Crash cast member Ludacris, platinum-selling rapper Young Jeezy, T.I. & Young Dro, The Game, Lil Wayne & Baby are set to perform at the 2006 BET HIP-HOP AWARDS. The all-star roster of participants also includes multi-faceted entertainment mogul Diddy, top nominees Lupe Fiasco and Rick Ross, hip-hop diva Remy Ma, Jim Jones, Rhymefest, Sway, Papoose, DJ Scratch, DJ Drama, Saigon and Styles P. Premiering Wednesday, November 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the stage is set for the BET HIP-HOP AWARDS to be an electrifying evening of non-stop entertainment, celebrating the history and culture of hip-hop music.
Elevating the star presence at Atlanta's Fox Theatre is red-hot host, comedian/actor Katt Williams. Although hosting an awards show -- particularly one with this caliber of talent -- is no easy gig, Katt says he's up for the challenge. Perhaps best known for his scene-stealing turn as Money Mike in "Friday After Next" and his recent HBO stand-up comedy special "The Pimp Chronicles, Part 1," Williams will lace the historic event with his edgy, brash and hilarious flavor.
Joining Williams in the featured spotlight will be I AM HIP-HOP Icon Award recipient Grandmaster Flash. During hip-hop's nearly 30-year history, few names have become as well known to music lovers across the globe. Flash is among those responsible for inventing hip-hop music as a genre and pioneering the usage of turntables as a musical instrument -- key milestones in hip-hop history.
BET will add some special international flavor to its first exclusively hip-hop salute by unveiling the Best United Kingdom Hip-Hop Act as part of the show. With more than 20,000 votes cast by British music fans through a promotional alliance between BET, MTV Base and 1 Xtra BBC, UK hip-hop artist Sway will receive this first-ever honor at the BET HIP-HOP AWARDS.
To ensure that viewers never miss a beat, the party will kick off with a few specials. You can catch "Tailgatin': The Hip-Hop Awards Nomination Special" airing Friday, November 3 from 7:30-8 p.m. ET/PT. And, we've dug into the vaults in celebration of the BET HIP-HOP AWARDS and found a bunch of your favorite sitcom episodes that feature hip-hop stars like Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim, Method Man, Redman, Murphy Lee and more that will air Sunday, November 12 from 5-9:30 p.m. ET/PT. Viewers can also tune in to the BET HIP-HOP AWARDS BLACK CARPET pre-show and post-show on November 15 from 8:30-9 p.m. ET/PT and 11-11:30 p.m. ET/PT, respectively.
In addition, BET viewers can cast their votes now at http://www.bet.com/ for their favorite video to win the Alltel Wireless People's Champ Award (Viewers' Choice). Viewers can then tune in to the ceremony to see if their chosen video won, and also check out other interactive features online.
** Please note there is no public ticketing or access to the BET HIP-HOP AWARDS show taping on November 12**

Look Out Times Square, Las Vegas Counts Down New Year's Eve With the Nation When DIRECTV's CD USA Broadcasts America's Party Live From Fremont Street
Five for Fighting, All-American Rejects, Rockstar:SuperNova, Smash Mouth, OK Go, Chicago and More to Perform Live
Nov. 3 -- Move over Times Square! Las Vegas is the new place for New Year's Eve as DIRECTV's exclusive live music performance show, CD USA takes over the famous Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas during America's Party for its live, nationally televised celebration featuring today's hottest music artists and special celebrity guests. This explosive, four-hour plus celebration will air exclusively on DIRECTV's channel 101 starting at 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT) with a lineup that includes live performances from chart toppers Five for Fighting, All-American Rejects, Rockstar:SuperNova, Smash Mouth, OK Go and Chicago.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of tourists and locals alike gather in Las Vegas for the world-renowned New Year's Eve celebration known as America's Party. This citywide event encompasses activities throughout the entire destination; in addition to DIRECTV's CD USA live broadcast, this year's celebration includes the spectacular pyrotechnic display launched from nine rooftops on the Las Vegas Strip. Last year, more than 300,000 out-of-town visitors made the trip to Las Vegas for America's Party.
Traditionally, New Year's Eve has been covered by national networks with a sole focus on New York City -- and for the millions of people in the West, the party was just beginning when the live television coverage ended. Now, DIRECTV, the nation's leading satellite television service provider and its hit program CD USA, will ring in the New Year, not just in New York, but across the entire country.
"This is the most unique New Year's Eve special ever produced in one of the most exciting cities in the world," said David Hill, DIRECTV's President of Entertainment. "Never before has a nationally televised New Year's Eve broadcast celebrated the big night in all four time zones across the country with all live performances throughout the entire night."
"Having this level of talent in a nationally televised event is a real coup for Las Vegas and the Fremont Street Experience," said Jeff Victor, president of the Fremont Street Experience. "The broadcast capabilities and the incredible visual backdrop of the 1,500-foot long Viva Vision screen surrounded by the neon lights of Vegas' most storied casinos provide a New Year's atmosphere unmatched anywhere."
Partygoers at the Las Vegas venue will have access to two stages located at either end of the four-block mammoth screen that will feature a simulcast of the band performances as well as eye-catching imagery designed specifically for the CD USA broadcast.
During the four-and-a-half-hour broadcast, the show will jump to live shots of various cities in each time zone across the contiguous United States just before the official countdown to the New Year and through the stroke of midnight in New York City, Austin, Denver and Las Vegas.
The live audience at the Fremont Street Experience will be part of one of the biggest private New Year's Eve parties in the nation. The entire four blocks and 200,000 square feet of the downtown Vegas venue will be gated, with access granted only to those who hold a ticket. Unlike other large public areas such as Times Square, Fremont Street will be replete with outdoor bars and vendors, easy access to casino gambling, numerous restaurants, and other guest-friendly amenities.
"Las Vegas has the reputation of hosting the biggest and the best of everything, and producing this live event downtown under the world's largest LED screen will redefine what a New Year's Eve experience should offer," said Track Entertainment/Live2Net President Lee Heiman.
"When we coined the title 'America's Party,' the idea was to solidify Las Vegas as the best place in the world to celebrate New Year's Eve," said Terry Jicinsky, senior vice president of marketing, Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority. "Having DIRECTV as a broadcast partner showcasing the excitement of Las Vegas' New Year goes a long way toward reaching our goal."
The gates open on Fremont Street at 5:30 p.m., and all ticket holders must be at least 18 years old. Tickets are $80.00 per person and available at www.VegasExperience.com. Fremont Street Experience guests receive admission to all concerts, a specially created New Year's Eve Viva Vision light and sound show and access to all the action on the four-city blocks that are Vintage Vegas at its best.

Dramatized, Celebrity-Voiced Audio Bible - The Bible Experience - Hits Stores
Zondervan and Inspired By Media Group Produce Accessible and Culturally Relevant Bible Dramatization
Mich., Nov. 3 Zondervan, the world's leading Christian communications company, and Inspired By Media Group have released Inspired By ... The Bible Experience, the most ambitious audio dramatization of the Bible ever recorded. The Bible comes to life through the voices of more than 200 world-renowned celebrities, renowned clergy and Christian leaders, and notable personalities including Samuel L. Jackson as God, Blair Underwood as Jesus, Angela Bassett as Esther and Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Judas. Inspired By ... The Bible Experience is now available in stores nationwide, and audio samples and behind-the-scenes trailers are available at http://www.zondervan.com/BibleExperience .
"While audio Bibles have been around for decades, none have truly captured the enthusiasm or spirit of the ancient text. Inspired By ... The Bible Experience draws listeners inside the Bible with the quality of a major motion picture," said Paul Caminiti, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Zondervan. "The personalities, sound effects and original musical score make this audio recording the freshest, most compelling and thoroughly modern way to learn and understand the Bible."
Zondervan partnered with Inspired By Media Group's award-winning producers to create an audio experience that combined the Today's New International Version (TNIV) Bible translation, the most accessible and readable version to date, with the finest vocal talent working today, a cinematic score, unparalleled sound design and the highest production value. With more than 1,500 recording hours logged over more than 100 days, production of the New Testament wrapped this past summer and the product has now released to stores.
Inspired By ... The Bible Experience audio Bible features a cross- generational roster of talent representing a wide variety of entertainment genres and personalities. Other voices include Charles Dutton, Kirk Franklin, Faith Evans, Tisha Campbell Martin, Eriq LaSalle, Robert Guillaume and Tatyana Ali.
"I am proud to be a part of this landmark project that has afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with so many of my peers to bring this unique and timely version of the Bible to the global marketplace," said Blair Underwood.
Inspired By ... The Bible Experience currently contains the New Testament, with the entire Bible scheduled for release in fall 2007. Retailing for $49.99, the release also includes a bonus DVD that features a behind-the- scenes "making of" video.
"Inspired By ... The Bible Experience begins with the ancient writings of the Bible and presents it orally, the same way most people have interacted with the Bible through the centuries," continues Caminiti. "But the production is a contemporary rendition, combining Hollywood's finest talent with the latest sound design. We anticipate scores of people connecting with the Bible in a fresh, compelling way."
