MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Actel Corporation today announced that a mixed-signal Actel Fusion-based wireless auto-monitoring temperature control design from Xi’an Institute of Posts and Telecommunications won the top prize in the first ever Actel Cup design contest in China.

NORWALK, Ohio, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ — The investment firm of IRG Capital Group, LLC, an affiliate of Industrial Realty Group, in partnership with Blackbird Capital Partners has signed a letter of intent to purchase the assets of Norwalk furniture Corp. Meanwhile, the company has fully resumed operations throughout the 106-year-old custom furniture manufacturing and retail business. The prospective new owners request that terms of the sale remain confidential.
“IRG Capital Group and Blackbird Capital are a perfect match for this deal because they both believe strongly in the value of growing this company, the strength of its employees and the tradition of Norwalk’s product,” said Domenic Aversa, acting CEO and architect of the company’s restructuring plan. “These investors are committed to building on the great tradition this company has represented for more than a century, and both have a long history of doing business in Ohio and investing in Ohio-based companies.”
Financial issues triggered by the national housing crisis caused Norwalk to temporarily suspend production on July 21, until the company could procure capital needed to implement a restructuring plan. Nearly 900 workers were temporarily sent home that week until a workable solution became feasible.
After days of negotiations with a number of prospective investors a deal was finalized on Aug. 4. This will allow the restructuring plan to be put into action and reposition the company for profitability by the fourth quarter of 2008.
Part of the plan includes a $2-million, low-interest state loan facilitated by Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, who helped facilitate negotiations of the purchase. A matching loan also was provided by Mayor Paul Walker of Fulton, Mississippi, and Greg Deakle, executive director of Itawamba County Development Council in Mississippi. Norwalk’s principal bank, Comerica, has agreed to continue funding Norwalk Furniture.
“Lt. Gov. Fisher, the Ohio Department of Development, the city of Fulton, Mississippi, and the Mississippi county of Itawamba were all instrumental in making this work for investors, while preserving the company’s long-term future,” Aversa said. “The unions and all our employees were very supportive throughout this difficult transition.”
“We are happy to offer assistance and to help facilitate a public-private partnership that will enable Norwalk furniture to remain a strong business now and in the future,” said Lt. Governor Fisher, who also serves as Director of the Ohio Department of Development. “We are committed to their success.”
Charles Rowe Jr., president of IRG Capital Group, will assume the interim role of the company’s CEO, while a permanent replacement is being sought. Rowe served formerly as CEO of The Sharon Companies, Ltd. in Akron, Ohio and QualServ Corporation in Kansas City, Missouri.
IRG Capital Group, based in Akron, Ohio, is a private investment firm affiliated with Industrial Realty Group, which has controlling interests in a variety of operating entities across a broad industry range, including mining, trucking and food services, while actively seeking additional investment opportunities both in distressed businesses and venture capital scenarios.
Industrial Realty Group (IRG), with projects in 22 states and affiliate management offices in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Sacramento and Los Angeles, has over 30 years of adaptive reuse and historic preservation experience that, to date, totals over 70 million square feet of facilities, including numerous former corporate and government installations. IRG acquires, preserves, redevelops, cleans, repositions, and retrofits real estate assets for modern-day use by a sophisticated user base. Based in California, IRG is one of the largest full-service redevelopment companies in the United States.
Blackbird Capital Partners is a private investment firm affiliated with Blackbird Capital Group in Cincinnati, which provides capital to, and acquires, distressed businesses. Blackbird invests in a wide variety of industries and currently owns controlling stakes in technology and paper converting businesses in Ohio.
Norwalk furniture Corporation, founded in 1902, makes quality upholstered furniture sold under the Norwalk, J. Raymond and Hickory Hill trade names. The company also has a network of retail stores, Norwalk — The furniture Idea, which includes company and independently owned franchised furniture stores throughout the United States and Canada.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ — soccer club FC Barcelona, FCB Foundation, Malaria No More and the American Youth soccer Organization (AYSO) today announced the “More Than A Club: Kick it to Malaria” initiative. The focus of this global partnership is to raise funds and awareness to help fight malaria and save the lives of children in Africa. Malaria is the number one killer of children in Africa and takes one life every 30 seconds — more than one million every year.
FC Barcelona boasts a roster of some of the world’s best soccer players. The team has long lived by their motto and team philosophy of being “More Than a Club.” Now the storied club will take on the number one killer of children in Africa: malaria. The year-long “Kick it to Malaria” campaign () features five key components:
– FC Barcelona will be participating in a four-on-four soccer tournament at Chelsea Waterside Field in Manhattan on August 5th with each team comprised of at least one FC Barcelona player, one AYSO player, and one supporter, with all proceeds going to the partnership between the club’s Foundation and Malaria No More.
– FC Barcelona and AYSO will invite their more than 600,000 U.S. youth who participate in their soccer programs to get pledges from coaches, parents and communities for the 2008 season to buy $10 bed nets for kids in Africa. AYSO is reaching out to all U.S. soccer kids to be a part of this important initiative.
– FC Barcelona will wear a special edition jersey with the Malaria No More logo on the left shoulder for their U.S. tour, which includes games against Mexican team Chivas Guadalajara in Chicago on August 3 and the New York Red Bulls of MLS on August 6.
– Funds raised through the “Kick it to Malaria” campaign will support malaria control in Africa in cooperation with FC Barcelona Foundation through its children & youth support Program “International Network of Solidarity Centers” (XICS), implemented in more than 11 countries around the world, half of them in Africa. The main objective of the XICS program is to care for vulnerable children and youth through an integral approach, by providing them with education, health care and psychosocial support to make a real impact on their lives and those of their families.
– Fox soccer Channel is donating one bed net for every goal scored on it’s broadcasts during the 2008-09 season and will air PSAs about the campaign featuring players from FC Barcelona, while Fox Sports en Espanol will also make a $10 contribution for each goal scored in its live and premiere telecasts of the Copa Nissan Sudamericana, FIFA Club World Cup, InterLiga, Mexican soccer and Copa Santander Libertadores.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to bring global attention to a problem that is destroying lives and economies in Africa,” said Peter Chernin, Chairman, Malaria No More and President and Chief Operating Officer, News Corporation. “Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and having organizations like FC Barcelona and AYSO helping to spread the message will make a huge difference and translate to thousands of lives saved.”
“FC Barcelona is deeply committed to our world’s main challenges through its Foundation program’s by using sport as a powerful tool to benefit vulnerable children & youth to offer them a future of hope and well-being,” said Joan Laporta, President of FC Barcelona. “In this case, soccer unites African and American children and gives them a unique opportunity to follow their dreams.”
“AYSO exists to develop life skills not just soccer skills,” said AYSO National Executive Director and former captain of the U.S. Men’s Olympic soccer team, Rick Davis. “We want AYSO kids to be fans of soccer and look up to players like Thierry Henry, Rafael Marquez, Lionel Messi and the rest of the FC Barcelona players. We want to show our kids that they can join with these famous players to make a difference in the world. Helping to save the lives of other children across the world can have a real impact on their lives.”
The program will be coordinated through the new campaign website and top fundraisers will have the chance to win FC Barcelona jerseys and the grand prize of a trip to Camp Nou, FC Barcelona’s home stadium in Barcelona for a game.

CALGARY, July 30 /PRNewswire/ — Upon completing the interpretation of its Phase One seismic program data, Rodinia Oil Corp. (”Rodinia”) has engaged Ryder Scott Company, L.P. to conduct an independent Estimate of Hydrocarbon Resource Potential of the Company’s lands in the Officer Basin. Management’s interpretation of this seismic data, plus existing gravity, magnetic and seismic data, indicates the possibility of more than 12 large closures that range from approximately 10,000 acres to 157,000 acres in extent. These closures contain at least four prospective reservoir horizons, with thicknesses ranging from 50 to 500 metres. A closure is a geological term quantifying a geological characteristic with the potential of being a trap within the associated geological structure.
Several features identified on these closures are classified by management as high risk drillable anomalies. The Phase One program included 986 km of high quality, high fold and high frequency two-dimensional seismic data.
Rodinia intends to initiate a Phase Two seismic program in the Officer Basin early in 2009.
About Rodinia
Rodinia is a junior oil and natural gas corporation focused solely on high impact onshore exploration in Australia. Rodinia has exclusive access to over 23 million gross acres of under-explored lands within the Officer and Georgina basins in Australia, which may have significant hydrocarbon potential based upon recently acquired seismic data, known geologic history and the existence of analogous basins in Oman and in Siberia, Russia.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — For more than 50 million family caregivers across the country, the Internet is becoming a first-line resource for needed support. This week during its annual meeting, the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) is introducing an online navigational tool designed to simplify the search for senior housing for seniors and caregivers, no matter where they live. Powered by SNAPforSeniors(R), the Senior Housing Locator makes objective, nationwide information available 24-hours a day, seven days a week through the convenience of the Internet.
Consumers and professionals alike will now have access to the n4a Senior Housing Locator through a link on n4a.org. The tool allows users to search a database of more than 60,000 senior housing listings, including all licensed senior housing in the nation. Member Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Title VI Native American Aging Programs will be invited to add a link to the tool or use a version co-branded for their own website.
“The n4a Senior Housing Locator provides all of our member AAAs, Title VI programs and the seniors they serve with access to the most current and comprehensive database of senior housing, creating a consistent standard of information across the country,” says n4a CEO, Sandy Markwood.
The Senior Housing Locator is similar to the real estate industry’s Multiple Listing Service, and functions much like a traditional search engine. Users can search a database of assisted living communities, nursing homes, residential care facilities, continuing care retirement communities and a growing list of independent living communities, all at the click of a mouse.
Many listings provide information about care services, lifestyle amenities, payment options and more, with some including photo galleries and virtual tours. The free resource was developed by SNAPforSeniors, representing another example of cooperative relationships among the aging network and private sector organizations.
“AAAs and Title VI programs generally have a strong knowledge of the senior housing options in the area, but it can be more difficult when they are called upon to help a senior find housing in a different county or state,” says Eve Stern, RN, MS, president of SNAPforSeniors. “The Senior Housing Locator allows them to perform searches anywhere in the nation, and the fact that all licensed communities are included eliminates the bias that referral services and advertising-based listing services exhibit.”
There are 247 different senior housing license types in the United States. According to SNAPforSeniors, the inconsistency from state-to-state is a common source of confusion when it comes to finding housing in another area. To help remedy this, the n4a Senior Housing Locator provides definitions for all 247 license types. Medicare certified facility listings also include a link directly to that facility’s quality report on Nursing Home Compare.
About n4a
The National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) is the leading voice on aging issues for Area Agencies on Aging across the country and a champion for the Title VI Native American aging programs in our nation’s capital. Through its presence in Washington D.C., n4a advocates on behalf of the local aging agencies to ensure that needed resources and support services are available to older Americans and their caregivers. The fundamental mission of the AAA and Title VI programs is to provide services that make it possible for older individuals to remain in their home, thereby preserving their independence and dignity.
About SNAPforSeniors
SNAPforSeniors(R), Inc. is a Seattle-based information company and developer of the most current and comprehensive web-based senior housing resource and listing service in the United States.
