Federal Monitoring with Digital Angel --
Targeting government as lucrative market has long been a strategy of Applied Digital and its subsidiaries. Most recently, in September of 2003, ADS retained the services of Stanley L. Reid, to market VeriChip implants to federal agencies.
While Applied's Digital Angel works to promote its animal tracking technology to the government, and ADS subsidiary Government Telecommunications Inc continues to score federal contracts, Reid is promoting VeriChip as a way to control authorized access to government installations and private-sector buildings. Included in the marketing campaign are nuclear power plants, national research laboratories, airports and seaports.
ADS representatives tout VeriChip as a stand-alone, "tamper-proof" personal verification technology which can also form an elemental part of a multi-faceted approach to security which could include the use of standard ID badges, smart cards and advanced biometric devices .

Frank Lalley, Sales ... GSA veteran ......Sherrie Gossett
Without question, Applied Digital Solutions sees its best customer as the government. And to head up this major government sales effort, ADS has appointed Frank Lalley, a 35-year General Services Administration veteran, as vice president of the just-created "government solutions" organization.
"The new position is aimed at meeting government needs for the company's advanced technology products, such as VeriChip, Thermo Life and Digital Angel, which is now part of Digital Angel Corporation (Amex: DOC)," according to ADS. (Thermo Life is a miniaturized power source consisting of a thermoelectric generator powered by body heat.)

Lalley's most recent position with the federal government was as assistant commissioner for service delivery in the GSA's Federal Technology Service. In that position, he was the senior executive responsible for the federal government's $1 billion long-distance telecommunications program, which provides voice, data, video, wireless and satellite services to 165 government agencies around the world.
Lalley also served as former associate deputy assistant secretary for telecommunications at the Veterans Affairs Department, chairman of the Interagency Management Council and head of the Service Delivery Office. He has also been employed in the departments of Energy and Defense.

Commenting on Lalley's appointment, Silverman, Applied Digital's president, said: "With the attention that VeriChip, Digital Angel and Thermo Life have attracted from all levels of government, it was imperative to bring in someone with Frank Lalley's extensive experience and reputation for effective leadership in the public sector. His knowledge, expertise and vast network of governmental contacts will help enormously as we respond to the needs of various government agencies for our advanced technology solutions. We're delighted that Frank has agreed to take on this added responsibility and we're confident that this expansion of his role within Applied Digital will help us seize significant growth opportunities in the public sector."

Recently, the US General Services Administration (GSA), the authority that influences Federal Government spending, entered into a five-year contract with USA Technologies for all of USA Technologies' energy management products. The contract means all Federal Government authorities, agencies and facilities worldwide now have the ability to purchase the Company's VendingMiserŪ, CoolerMiser(TM), PlugMiser(TM) and SnackMiser(TM) immediately, and directly from USA Technologies. USA Technologies believes that the contract should accelerate the Federal sector's purchasing ability, and should lead to an upswing in sales to Federal institutions.

Digital Security, IT security of the virtual world --Nov. 20, 2003
Mr. Silverman to speak at ID World Congress
ID World is organized by Wise Media, S.p.A., based in Milan, Italy. This year special attention will be given to the future of security systems. The modern security infrastructure relies on specialized systems, software applications and technical standards built on different foundations for the physical world
(i.e. access control to buildings) and the virtual world (i.e. IT security).

With industrial spies, terrorists, hackers and vandals increasing their ability to operate in both environments, the traditional compartmental approach to security is evolving towards an increasingly holistic view. Key industry players that traditionally focused either on physical or digital security explain how the boundaries of these worlds are blurring and how global security infrastructures are converging to address both environments with integrated solutions.

Over 30 speakers will take the stage at ID WORLD 2003, a majority of which are senior corporate executives and key industry players. Confirmed speakers include: David Slinger, General Manager of
Texas Instruments RFID; Mauro Benetton, Marketing Manager of the Benetton Group and President of
Lab ID; Dr Joseph Atick, President and CEO of Identix, Joseph Grillo, President and CEO of Assa Abloy ITG; General John Watkins, former director of the Pentagon's Defense Information Systems Agency; and Francois Darcy, Directeur Projet Titre Fondateur - Ministere de l'Interieur, Republique Francaise.

Implanted chip firm seeks financial 'angel' ...Sherrie Gossett
Maker of human tracking devices wants government deal to save it May 16-2002
Without question, Applied Digital Solutions sees its best customer as the government. And to head up this major government sales effort, ADS has appointed Frank Lalley, a 35-year General Services Administration veteran, as vice president of the just-created "government solutions" organization.

Your tax dollars at work?
What uses does ADS envision for government use? In 2000, ADS offered a long list of suggested tax-funded uses for the company's biochips. These included use in soldiers, people under house arrest, prisoners and parolees. At the same time, the chief scientist for the development of Digital Angel, Dr. Peter Zhou, also indicated he was "very interested" in pursuing the Digital Angel tracking chip as a form of national healthcare ID -- along the lines of the universal biometric identifier proposed by then-Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala.

Sullivan has also stated that in 5 years he expects to see the chips implanted into children, the elderly, airport workers and nuclear power plant workers.

We might be able to actually improve on our ability to track personal information and habits even more completely than we do today," McClimans told CNN last year. "In fact we can probably make a quick buck here to boot.
Let's say we all get together and implant everybody with these new chips," he added, somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

Lamenting the lack of "common sense" in Congress regarding the dearth of comprehensive privacy laws, McCLimans asked: "So what will it be: common sense or computer chips? Sadly, I think the answer is chips. Let's face it:
The potential value is too great … a scary thought."

POSTAL --- USPS

ADS gets $25 Million for Postal Service Contract --June 14, 2004
$25 million from the United States Postal Service (USPS) to upgrade telecommunications networks at 108 Postal Service facilities.

Under the award, GTI will conduct site surveys, and design, install and test network cabling at 108 mail processing plants and co-located administrative facilities within the United States. Included are state-of-the-art high speed copper cabling, fiber optic backbones, and ties to the existing telecommunications network. The contract requires careful planning and adherence to USPS building design standards to assure consistency and uniformity of products and configurations at all facilities despite unique features and requirements at each local site. GTI's work on this project is scheduled to be completed by August 2005.
This project is the second phase of a contract awarded to GTI in June 2003. The first phase involved network upgrades at 62 USPS locations that were successfully completed in May 2004.
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/040614/145098_1.html [ for a total of 170 Postal Services facilities ]

GTI and the Postal Department --April 2, 2004
GTI is currently installing state-of-the-art high speed copper cabling, fiber optic backbones, and ties to the existing telecommunications network at 39 mail processing plants throughout the country. These new broadband networks will enable computers that control large complex mail sorting equipment to exchange information much more rapidly. This is a continuation of work begun in 2003. When completed in May, a total of 62 USPS sites will have been upgraded in less than 1 year.

Commenting on the completion of the $15 Million dollar project, Frank Lalley, CEO of GTI stated: "This project was a challenge because of its complexity, urgency and value to the customer. The Postal Service and many other agencies of the Federal government have identified telecom projects that will enhance their mission effectiveness and they are pressed to get them done. We see strong demand in government to upgrade and replace existing telecom infrastructure and we expect it to prevail throughout the remainder of the year and into 2005. With our GSA contracts, we believe we are well positioned to provide telecom equipment and services that these customers need."

Gov. [Army] and VeriChip become business partners--- June 13-2002
Practical Magic
The federal government, dogged by older technologies and an aging workforce, will be spending more on its IT needs -- and outsourcing more of them. And while federal dollars represent a small slice of IT spending, the private sector is expected to join in by reviving technologies like smart cards and pushing biometrics even further.

Recent examples include Palm Beach, Florida-based Applied Digital Solutions ' "Verichip," an implantable device that the company hopes can be used for defense and security purposes; and a deal announced last week by Littleton, Massachusetts-based Viisage to provide its face-recognition technology to the U.S. Army. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nf/20020612/bs_nf/18185 (expired)

IBM builds fastest Comunications microchip...Feb 26-2002
The integrated circuit runs at more than 110 GigaHertz, or 110 billion cycles per second, meaning it will be able to process more than 2.8 million pages of text per second.
The new chip will be used in data communications equipment like switches and routers that are used in
optical communication networks, IBM said. Such equipment is sold by companies like networking giant Cisco Systems Inc. .
Silicon germanium also includes layers of germanium, a substance that is like silicon but which makes a transistor that can switch faster and perform better.
"Reality is 110 GigaHertz," Dzubeck said.
The push toward ever-faster chips is described in Moore's Law, created by Intel Corp. co-founder Gordon Moore, which says that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every 18 months.

Super Computer: 1,000 Trillion operations per second---November 18, 2003
Columbus-based Battelle, the world's largest independent, nonprofit research organisation, manages Oak Ridge and three other laboratories for the US Department of Energy.
Battelle said the computer would be 300 times faster than a similar computer in Japan, called Earth Simulator, which can perform 35.8 trillion operations per second.
That's a $US500 million [$696.33 million] machine," said William Madia, executive vice-president for laboratory operations and former Oak Ridge director.

Ohio State University and Battelle will use the machine to join forces. The university wants to be a leader in biomedical research and to use Battelle's expertise at finding commercial applications for new technology.
Among the collaborations at Ohio State are nanotechnology - designing devices on a molecular scale - and biomedical informatics, which uses supercomputers to clarify and interpret huge amounts of medical data.

Administration to set up government-run TV --- Nov. 19, 2003
As reported in the New York Observer, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) plans to begin a 24-hour broadcast service, dedicated to reporting the Iraq news it deems important. The broadcast will be live and unfiltered — unfiltered, at least, by meddlesome journalists. Dorrance Smith, a CPA media adviser and a former ABC News producer, told the Observer that the network's model was the wartime broadcasts from Centcom headquarters, which frustrated journalists with their lack of specifics but convinced audiences that we were blowing up a lot of stuff real good. The hope is that local TV stations will use the feed, allowing the government to take its reportage straight to the public.

But Bush & Co. have an unlikely media-bashing ally of sorts: Al Gore. Speaking last week at Middle Tennessee State University, the former Vice President bemoaned the "quasi-hypnotic influence" of TV that, he said, has dumbed down American political discourse.
