December 21st, 2005

Magnum’s ADVANTAGE Business Service Management Software reads Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) technology events, determines the level of impact to end-users and ultimately the business in context with the entire enterprise.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 22, 2005 http://www.magnum-tech.com – Magnum Technologies, the leading provider of IT Business Service Management software, announced today the powerful integration capabilities of its ADVANTAGE software with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM).

Since most MOM installations are part of a larger heterogeneous IT installation, the integration between MOM and ADVANTAGE will provide MOM users, as part of a fully integrated Service Level Management solution, the ability to manage the overall health of the entire IT organization and how the business is being impacted.

While MOM will log IT events – such as rebooted servers and database performance issues – ADVANTAGE will decipher what these events mean to the business. ADVANTAGE provides Business Impact Correlation to the IT personnel leveraging MOM’s event data, such as raised CPU levels, high memory utilization, or authentication violations on an Exchange server.


Minco Educates Engineers, Customers & Prospects Via New Flexible Heaters & Non-invasive Sensors Design Kits

December 19th, 2005

Minneapolis, MN, December 19, 2005 — Minco, a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical applications, today launched two design kits, one for Flexible Heaters and one for Non-invasive Sensors, to meet a growing need from engineers to “self educate” early in the product development process.

Minco created the design kits to act as an instructional tutorial to provide engineers with a structured way to experiment, prototype and learn about Minco’s technology and benefits.

“Minco is focused on providing design engineers with solutions, not just products. These kits act as a first step for design engineers to test Minco heaters and sensors and ultimately find a solution to their application or problem,” said Brian Williams, Heaters Division Marketing Manager, Minco.

The Flexible Heaters Prototype Design Kit includes 12 flexible heaters of various shapes and sizes in polyimide and silicone rubber insulation. The heater kit also comes with a 100 ohm platinum RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor and PSA and Silicone RTV adhesive. Just as valuable is the Design Guide Booklet that features a start-up guide, many pages of technical specifications and applications ideas, and whitepapers for education and prototyping techniques.

National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Will Smith’s Web Address

December 9th, 2005

A National Arbitration Forum arbitrator rules in favor of musician and movie star Will Smith regarding the Internet domain name willsmith.tv.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) December 9, 2005 — The National Arbitration Forum announced today that a ruling has been issued in favor of celebrity Will Smith regarding the rights to willsmith.tv (Claim Number FA0510000587480).

Willard C. Smith II, represented by Allen B. Grodsky, filed a complaint electronically with the National Arbitration Forum on October 26, 2005, asserting legal rights to the domain name willsmith.tv. The address was registered by the Respondent, “Barney Rubble,” of Vancouver, British Columbia, on November 3, 2004. The panel found that the domain was being used to advertise products and services completely unrelated to Smith, including materials used in the cultivation of marijuana.

Ruling in Smith’s favor, a National Arbitration Forum arbitrator concluded that willsmith.tv was “confusingly similar” to the WILL SMITH mark, which Smith registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in February 2002. The arbitrator also found that the Respondent did not have legitimate rights to, or interest in, the disputed Web address, and was using the address in bad faith for his own commercial gain. Further reinforcing the bad faith finding was the fact that the Respondent had attempted to sell Smith the rights to the domain name.
