NEW YORK, March 31, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TIE Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:TTCS), a systems integration and telecommunications company focused o
Issaquah, WA, March 31, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Alliance for Performance Excellence, a partner of The Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, Inc., signed an expanded license agreement with Shaw Resources for the Scorebook Navigator™ software. The software was designed and developed by James Shaw of Shaw Resources. Users report that it greatly reduces the time required to conduct a Baldrige-based self-assessment of an organization’s performance.
The expanded license authorizes the Alliance to sell service subscriptions to a wide range of external commercial organizations including high technology manufacturers, airlines, banks, and retailers. Subscriptions will also be offered to hospitals and hospital systems, schools, universities, and state and local governments. For a small additional fee, organizations will be able to modify/tailor the standardized “Criteria for Performance Excellence” so as to fit individual organizational needs.
Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM) recently conducted an internal gap analysis using the services enabled by the Scorebook Navigator software. The focus of the NFM initiative was to confirm the value of a planned LEAN project, while also explicitly identifying performance gaps/barriers that would not be addressed by the project. The leader of NFM’s project, Brian van Ormer, stated, “The Scorebook Navigator software service greatly simplified our work.” (Nebraska Furniture Mart is a Berkshire Hathaway-owned company with headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.)
“This expansion of the license will enable organizations in all sectors of the economy to conduct a gap analysis using the Criteria for Performance Excellence without having to file a formal application for a Baldrige-based award,” said Paul Kuchuris, Chairman of the Board for the Alliance. “Once an organization uses the services enabled by the Scorebook Navigator software, they report that the ‘Criteria for Performance Excellence’ is indeed easy to use and can make bottom-line differences in a relatively short period of time.”
James Shaw, President and Founder of Shaw Resources expressed, “Examiners for Baldrige-based quality awards report that the web-based Scorebook Navigator (software) services greatly reduce the tedious nature of conducting a Baldrige-based assessment—realizing a 30 to 35 percent time savings. Consequently, we hope that making the service available commercially to all organizations will encourage many more to embark on a Baldrige-based performance excellence journey.”
The Alliance will continue deliver the Scorebook Navigator™ service using the computer services and web site of its strategic partner, The Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige Award, Inc. (www.Baldrigepe.org). Organizations interested in subscribing to the service are encouraged to contact the nearest Alliance member (for a list of all members, navigate to http://baldrigepe.org/alliance/programs.aspx).

an order totaling $1.4 million under its Movement Tracking System, or
MTS contract, with the U.S. Army. Total orders received to date against

The order is Phase II of ongoing efforts to complete migration of all

Whereas Phase I migration efforts involved modifications to the
transceiver's firmware to enable it to read RFID tags operating under
the ISO 18000-7 standard, Phase II encompasses modifications to the MTS

completion of the migration, the MTS mobile RFID capability will extend
to all active RFID tags built to comply with the international
standard.
Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech

order to upgrade the MTS Program's mobile RFID capability. The U.S.
Army logisticians face a steep challenge associated with tracking
critical equipment as our forces continually shift to and from Iraq and

LINKIN PARK Announces the Release of 'LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!' Mobile Game With Artificial Life
Groundbreaking iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad App Takes Action-
Adventure Gaming to a New Level
Massive Multi-Player Game Features Brand-New Song "Blackbirds"
and 8-Bit Remixes of LINKIN PARK's Biggest Hits
"LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" Available Soon in iTunes App Store
LOS ANGELES, March 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two-time Grammy winning
rock band LINKIN PARK and Artificial Life, Inc. (OTCBB:ALIF) have
announced the upcoming release of "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!," a
groundbreaking game app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The
trailer for the game can be viewed here:
http://linkinpark.com/video/linkin-park-8bit-rebellion. For more
information (screen shots, overview, etc), click here
http://www.botme.com/ref/linkinpark.
Production on "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" began more than a year
ago, when Linkin Park (vocalists Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington,
drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, DJ Joe Hahn and bassist
Dave "Phoenix" Farrell) partnered with game developer Artificial Life,
to create a heightened app experience for music fans and gamers alike.
The result is the first-ever massively multi-player app to be designed
around a music artist. The band (who appear as characters in the game)
was intimately involved in every aspect of the game: storylines,
gameplay, character design and music.
"It was a unique experience to work with Linkin Park to create one of
the most innovative mobile gaming experiences to date," says Artificial
Life CEO, Eberhard Schoneburg. "Our close co-operation with the band
has led to a cool and fun game play, a great design and a
groundbreaking app that pushes the limits of the iPhone gaming
experience and sets new standards for music based games. Throughout
production the band worked closely with our designers, intimately
contributing to the creative process for character designs, in-game
artwork, mission structure and, of course, the music in the game! 8-Bit
Rebellion helps fans get closer to the band by drawing them into the
virtual world that they have helped to create as well as providing
their global fan base with an exciting community experience. It's a
must for all Linkin Park fans."
"The collaborative process with Artificial Life was exceptional," says
Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda, who worked with the game company to
design the characters and score the game. "They were able to turn my
sketches and our creative ideas into a living, breathing world that we
think gamers will thoroughly enjoy. This game is not just made for
Linkin Park fans --anyone will be able to play and enjoy 8-Bit
Rebellion.' My bandmates and I grew up playing games like 'Metroid,'
'Donkey Kong,' 'Zelda,' 'Space Invaders,' 'Mega Man' and 'Rygar.' We
wanted this game to have the feel of a vintage game, and a big part of
it was the music."
Unlike other apps offering simple rhythm games, "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT
REBELLION!" plays like a full-on action-adventure game. Players must
free Linkin Park's idyllic 8-bit world from the clutches of the evil
PixxelKorp, whose corrupt agents have stolen the band's music. As
members of the rebellion, players will take on missions that lead them
through several unique districts in the game--each district is themed
after a different band member. During their missions they will fight
off the PixxelKorp forces, hunt down the lost tracks and save the band
from pending disaster to become an 8-bit hero! Among its many
highlights, the app features "Blackbirds," an exclusive Linkin Park
song that's unlocked upon completion of the game. This is the first
time an artist has released a brand-new song through a mobile game app.
Says Shinoda, "We really liked the song and thought this would be a
unique way to give it to our fans."
The game also features original and 8-bit interpretations of some of
Linkin Park's greatest hits, including "New Divide," "One Step Closer,"
"In The End," "Crawling," "QWERTY," "Hands Held High," "Faint," and "No
More Sorrow." This marks the first time that Linkin Park's music has
been reinterpreted using old-school video game sounds. The game, which
also includes original artwork by the band, opens with "One Step
Closer" sounding like it was coming out of a first-generation NES.
"LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" provides players with the ability to
create and outfit avatars by choosing from hundreds of different
combinations. The app's seamless integration of online features allows
for a unique game experience, in which players can embark on their own
journey while meeting and chatting with friends. The online community
features IM chats, in-app messaging, message boards, ranking other
players and sending gifts. The game also has an offline mode in which
players can still complete missions and buy new items in stores. This
allows users without a stable internet connection to play the game
wherever they are. Once back online, they can sync their scores, items
and game progress onto the server and continue with the game. Simply
put, "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" is the only app to ever integrate
gaming, social networking and news updates all in one.

Adventure Gaming to a New Level
Massive Multi-Player Game Features Brand-New Song "Blackbirds"
and 8-Bit Remixes of LINKIN PARK's Biggest Hits
"LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" Available Soon in iTunes App Store
LOS ANGELES, March 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two-time Grammy winning
rock band LINKIN PARK and Artificial Life, Inc. (OTCBB:ALIF) have
announced the upcoming release of "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!," a
groundbreaking game app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The
trailer for the game can be viewed here:
http://linkinpark.com/video/linkin-park-8bit-rebellion. For more
information (screen shots, overview, etc), click here
http://www.botme.com/ref/linkinpark.
Production on "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" began more than a year
ago, when Linkin Park (vocalists Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington,
drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, DJ Joe Hahn and bassist
Dave "Phoenix" Farrell) partnered with game developer Artificial Life,
to create a heightened app experience for music fans and gamers alike.
The result is the first-ever massively multi-player app to be designed
around a music artist. The band (who appear as characters in the game)
was intimately involved in every aspect of the game: storylines,
gameplay, character design and music.
"It was a unique experience to work with Linkin Park to create one of
the most innovative mobile gaming experiences to date," says Artificial
Life CEO, Eberhard Schoneburg. "Our close co-operation with the band
has led to a cool and fun game play, a great design and a
groundbreaking app that pushes the limits of the iPhone gaming
experience and sets new standards for music based games. Throughout
production the band worked closely with our designers, intimately
contributing to the creative process for character designs, in-game
artwork, mission structure and, of course, the music in the game! 8-Bit
Rebellion helps fans get closer to the band by drawing them into the
virtual world that they have helped to create as well as providing
their global fan base with an exciting community experience. It's a
must for all Linkin Park fans."
"The collaborative process with Artificial Life was exceptional," says
Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda, who worked with the game company to
design the characters and score the game. "They were able to turn my
sketches and our creative ideas into a living, breathing world that we
think gamers will thoroughly enjoy. This game is not just made for
Linkin Park fans --anyone will be able to play and enjoy 8-Bit
Rebellion.' My bandmates and I grew up playing games like 'Metroid,'
'Donkey Kong,' 'Zelda,' 'Space Invaders,' 'Mega Man' and 'Rygar.' We
wanted this game to have the feel of a vintage game, and a big part of
it was the music."
Unlike other apps offering simple rhythm games, "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT
REBELLION!" plays like a full-on action-adventure game. Players must
free Linkin Park's idyllic 8-bit world from the clutches of the evil
PixxelKorp, whose corrupt agents have stolen the band's music. As
members of the rebellion, players will take on missions that lead them
through several unique districts in the game--each district is themed
after a different band member. During their missions they will fight
off the PixxelKorp forces, hunt down the lost tracks and save the band
from pending disaster to become an 8-bit hero! Among its many
highlights, the app features "Blackbirds," an exclusive Linkin Park
song that's unlocked upon completion of the game. This is the first
time an artist has released a brand-new song through a mobile game app.
Says Shinoda, "We really liked the song and thought this would be a
unique way to give it to our fans."
The game also features original and 8-bit interpretations of some of
Linkin Park's greatest hits, including "New Divide," "One Step Closer,"
"In The End," "Crawling," "QWERTY," "Hands Held High," "Faint," and "No
More Sorrow." This marks the first time that Linkin Park's music has
been reinterpreted using old-school video game sounds. The game, which
also includes original artwork by the band, opens with "One Step
Closer" sounding like it was coming out of a first-generation NES.
"LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" provides players with the ability to
create and outfit avatars by choosing from hundreds of different
combinations. The app's seamless integration of online features allows
for a unique game experience, in which players can embark on their own
journey while meeting and chatting with friends. The online community
features IM chats, in-app messaging, message boards, ranking other
players and sending gifts. The game also has an offline mode in which
players can still complete missions and buy new items in stores. This
allows users without a stable internet connection to play the game
wherever they are. Once back online, they can sync their scores, items
and game progress onto the server and continue with the game. Simply
put, "LINKIN PARK 8-BIT REBELLION!" is the only app to ever integrate
gaming, social networking and news updates all in one.
ABOUT LINKIN PARK
Linkin Park was recently named the No. 1 selling Rock/Alt Band of the
Decade by SoundScan/Billboard. Over the course of the past few years,
they've amassed more than 50 million worldwide sales, a remarkable
string of chart-topping hit singles, a pair of Grammy wins, and an
international fanbase whose members number in the millions. Linkin Park
is currently in the studio preparing a new album for release in 2010.

partnership with Thuraya and it creates a new growth area for our
mobile data communications products and services. Our new maritime
