throughout the world. The event brought together the
greatest collection of key global leaders in an effort to
educate, inform, and activate about critical issues facing
individuals with intellectual disabilities.

"The commitment made today by leaders from all
sectors will help further the opportunities and rights of
people with intellectual disabilities and the work of
Special Olympics worldwide," said Timothy P. Shriver,
Chairman, Special Olympics International. "Through
sport, Special Olympics lays a foundation for
community-based development and advancement; collaboration
with global leaders extends the reach even further for
peace, prosperity and human dignity."
Using the powerful platform of sport, the Global Policy
Summit presented five core areas: a global snapshot
highlighting key research findings on the attitudes toward,
status of and prospects for people with intellectual
disabilities; an in-depth analysis of the progress that
China has made and plans to strengthen outreach to this
population as a World Games legacy; model corporate, NGO
and intergovernmental inclusion and collaboration policies
and practices that support and engage people with
intellectual disabilities; discussion of model laws and
policies currently in place and future policy
implementation; and, the role of sport in advancing peace,
fitness and health for people with intellectual
disabilities. The Summit incorporated more than 30
scientific presentations about people with intellectual

opportunities for this community.
"The Global Policy Summit will be one of China's
greatest legacies to Special Olympics," said Wang
Zhijun, Chairman, Special Olympics China. "We are
honored to showcase 25 years of impact and development of
essential resources serving China's intellectual disability
community in front of an unprecedented gathering of peers
and influential global leaders."
Key addresses by high-ranking officials -- Her
Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the
Philippines, the Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor
of California, USA, and the Honorable Margaret Spelling,
U.S. Secretary of Education - focused on empowerment
through community development, the power of Special
Olympics to change lives and inclusive education,
respectively.
"I am here to make a call to action to governments
throughout the world, businesses, and NGOs that we really
can make a difference for people for intellectual
disabilities," said Bianca Jagger, International Human
Rights Advocate, Council of Europe Goodwill Ambassador,
Chair of the World Future Council and friend of Special
Olympics. "And we are seeing a real turning point here
in China and at these World Games."
The Special Olympics movement was strengthened as
UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) and Lions Clubs International Foundation announced
official "Commitments to Action" and encouraged
other attendees to follow their lead. And earlier this
week, FIFA pledged its commitment to Special Olympics. A
UNICEF-Special Olympics partnership will promote the
participation and empowerment of children with intellectual
disabilities and their families through sports, initially in
Bulgaria, Cambodia, China, El Salvador, Jamaica, Panama and
Uzbekistan, and will seek to build self-reliance,
confidence and advocacy skills through joint activities
that are already promoting the inclusion of children and
young people with intellectual disabilities, in addition to
increasing youth activation and early intervention efforts.
CDC and the Lions Clubs International Foundation announced
continued support for Special Olympics and its health and
research efforts with funding commitments. CDC recently
renewed a five-year cooperative agreement with Special
Olympics for services and education at US$4.34 million per
year plus a five-year US$1 million per year research
cooperative agreement. The Lions Clubs International
Foundation extended its seven-year, US$9.1 million
commitment to the Special Olympics-Lions Clubs
International Opening Eyes(R) program, a vision program
that has effectively provided more than 100,000 vision
screenings to Special Olympics athletes and has provided
more than 40,000 Special Olympics athletes with
prescription eyeglasses, by earmarking an additional US$1
million in funding.
The Global Policy Summit culminated with leaders from
government, NGOs, academic, corporations and sport,
including Special Olympics sponsors such as Coca Cola, Bank
of America and Phoenix Satellite TV, endorsing a Statement
of Support targeting improving the treatment of, and
attitudes toward, people with intellectual disabilities.

WLW Acquisition Further Strengthens Seat pg's Position in Germany
October 05, 2007
TURIN, Italy, Oct. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Seat Pagine
Gialle S.p.A. ("Seat") announces having concluded
the purchase of Eniro AB's 100% holdings in Wer liefert
was? GmbH ("WLW"). The transaction, effective as
of today, reaches EUR 115 million in terms of Enterprise
Value and is mainly financed through operating cash-flow.
The transaction was authorized in August by the German
federal
competition authority.
The acquisition is consistent with Seat's strategy: to
leverage its existing assets in order to grow in Europe and
enlarge its international visibility. Already operating
with the multi-channel directory Telegate and with
Europages, Seat will further reinforce its positioning in
Germany as well as in the online European B2B market, where
the group is already one of the leaders through its
subsidiary Europages.
Germany is the most important B2B market in Europe and
one of the largest exporters in the world, with approx.
200k exporting firms with very high internet penetration
rates. This makes the country an ideal playing field for
WLW and Europages, as the two companies together maximize
the potential:
-- Usage: WLW has a strong user base in Germany, with
1.3
million monthly unique B2B users, while Europages has a
global coverage,
with 1.5 million unique B2B users per month from all
European countries
and a fast growing user base from far East countries such
as China and
India.
-- Customer Base: WLW has a solid and long-standing
relationship
with approximately 30K advertisers in Germany and other
German speaking
countries, which represents an interesting opportunity for
the
cross-selling Europages offer.
-- Salesforce: WLW has a sales force of about 80 reps,
complemented by Internet, telesales and subsidiaries
operating in other German speaking markets. Europages is
operating through direct or indirect sales organizations in
Germany, France, Italy, Spain and 15 other countries and is
currently investing to strengthen its sales operations in
Germany.
"With the WLW transaction Seat has completed the
largest acquisition since 2003 when the "new"
Seat was born", Luca Majocchi, Group Chief Executive
Officer of Seat Pagine Gialle, comments. "This
represents a strategic move to improve our positioning in
the highly fragmented German directory market where we are
already offering high quality services through Telegate and
Europages and where we foresee a window of opportunity to be
exploited thanks to the combination of our existing and
acquired assets".
The Seat Pagine Gialle Group is the European leader and
one of the main operators at world level in the sector of
multimedia profiled advertising, offering
"print-voice-online" directories, high-tech
products for the Internet and for satellite and
orthophotometric navigation, as well as complementary
communication services such as one-to-one marketing. Seat
Pagine Gialle has been engaged in information services, and
search and communications tools for over 80 years. It is a
success story based on a brand that is familiar to
everyone, a sales network employing over 1,700 persons, a
technology that is constantly evolving and a database that
includes 20 million households and 3 million businesses,
and a wide range of products guaranteeing a real integrated
system of communications to about 600,000 Italian customers.
A total of 63.3 million volumes distributed to the homes
and offices of Italian subscribers (2006 figures), 32.5

(2006 figures), and over 307 million hits on online
directories (2006 figures) connect people and businesses,

Germany Presents Investment Advantages at Renewable Energy 2007
October 05, 2007
CHIBA, Japan, Oct. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- World
renewable energy leaders are gathering in Chiba, Japan for
"Renewable Energy 2007," a leading industry
convention that brings together executives, engineers, and
researchers from October 10-12th, 2007. Germany is a
popular destination for renewable energy investments and
the country's investment promotion agency, Invest in
Germany, will be at Renewable Energy 2007 to present
advantages of Germany's renewable energies market.
In 2006, renewable energies and resources in Germany
booked sales of EUR22.9 billion, exports of over EUR6
billion, and accrued investments of over EUR9 billion. The
industry also has over 235,000 workers to its name.
One major reason for Germany's leading role in
renewable energies is the country's Renewable Energies Act
(EEG in German). The law requires energy companies to
purchase power generated from renewable sources at a price
that is set above the market price. For example,
photovoltaic (PV) facilities coming into service in 2007
receive a "feed-in-tariff" of 38-54EURct/KWh over
twenty years. This law has spawned major interest in the
purchase of renewable energy products and therefore sparked
a ready-made market in Germany that is well positioned for
future investments.
Germany is building on its current leadership to secure
its renewable energy market for the future. The country is
number one worldwide in PV, wind, and biodiesel energies in
both market size and sales.
The numbers bear out this claim: In 2006, the PV
industry added 1,150 MWp of new capacity, increasing total
PV installed capacity to 3,060 MWp. PV took in EUR3.8 of
sales in 2006 and is expecting EUR15 billion in investments
by 2012.
Germany is also the largest wind energy market
worldwide with 20,661 MW and sales of EUR5.6 billion.
Investments of up to EUR13 billion are expected by 2012.
Biodiesel also generated EUR2.5 billion in sales in 2006.
Its projected investment total for 2012 is EUR16 billion.
These sectors are thriving not only because of strong
political conditions, but also because of Germany's highly
qualified workforce, R&D through universities and
scientific institutes, location in the center of an
expanding European Union (EU), and the trusted "Made
in Germany" label.
For more information on investments in Germany visit
Invest in
Germany at the German Federal Booth at Renewable Energy
2007 (Hall 7,
Booth 82).
Invest in Germany is the inward investment promotion
agency of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its mandate is
to assist and advise international companies about
investment opportunities in Germany. Invest in Germany

state.
Sir Geldof follows in the footsteps of the major
international figures who have been guest speakers at the
gala dinner of the three previous Antwerp Diamond
Conferences: former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former
U.S. Vice President Al Gore, and South African President
Thabo Mbeki, who in 2004 used the occasion to announce the
imminent launch his government's beneficiation programme.
This forum will be an invaluable opportunity for all
players in the diamond industry to gain insight and engage
in the future of their industry. The Antwerp World Diamond
Centre has taken the lead to bring together such a diverse
group of stakeholders from around the world to directly
discuss the most important issue facing this industry.

Clear2Pay Harvests Further Success in China With BNPP (China) CNAPS Project
October 04, 2007
Clear2Pay Connects BNP Paribas (China) to Local CNAPS
Payments Infrastructure
SHENZHEN, China and BOSTON, Oct. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/
-- Clear2Pay, the international technology provider of next
generation payment solutions for financial institutions
announces its agreement with BNP Paribas China for the
CNAPS Core Payment System (CCPS) project at the start of
the SIBOS Conference in Boston, USA.
The CCPS projects will connect the payment operation of
BNPP China to the China Advanced Payment System, the
so-called CNAPS infrastructure for both high value payments
and bulk payments processing, which will ensure that BNP
Paribas China is fully integrated and connected with the
local Chinese banking system.
"This solution will give us the ability to have
full Straight-Through-Processing for all local currency
transactions, thus providing us with a foundation to offer
our customers a broader range of services. This will enable
us to expand our business in China, says Charles Chen, Head
of Cash Management at BNP Paribas (China). The system will
be used by all BNPP China entities with a launch in the
Shanghai and Beijing branches.
"China is going through a series of payment
reforms, a move away from a wide range of national schemes
into fewer more centralised clearing systems", states
Michel Akkermans, Chairman and CEO of Clear2Pay.
"Foreign banks operating in China need to be able to
connect to local payment infrastructures such as CNAPS,
whilst at the same time being able to reconcile with their
own internal systems. We are delighted that a top rated
bank like BNP Paribas turned to Clear2Pay to facilitate
their payments processing in China."
The Clear2Pay China office is home to over 40 staff
with a sales team headed up by Chan Mun Kiat and Frank Wu.

朝日放送株式会社（本社：大阪市北区、代表取締役社長 西村 嘉郎、以下「朝日放送」）は、米国リンデン・ラボ社が運営する３Ｄ仮想空間「セカンドライフ」に本格的に参入することで、放送と新規ＩＴメディアとの新たな連携を展開していきます。
朝日放送では、「セカンドライフ」を視聴者との新しいコミュニケーションを生み出す「第３のホームページ」ととらえ、「セカンドライフ」内に“ＡＢＣ”、“ＡＳＡＨＩ”、“ＴＶ”、“ＮＡＫＡＮＯＳＨＩＭＡ”の４つの島を取得、斬新で夢あふれる企画を実現させていきます。
第１弾の企画として、２００８年３月末に放送予定（関西ローカル）のテレビ番組『ショート ムービー ＣＭ グランプリ～カンヌへの道（仮）』において、放送局主催のＣＭコンテストを「セカンドライフ」と連動して開催します。企画に協賛するスポンサー１０社を募り、スポンサーの指定商品をテーマに視聴者からＣＭ作品を募集し、優秀作品を番組で紹介します（以降ＣＭとして朝日放送で放映されていきます）。視聴者は、「セカンドライフ」内に朝日放送が建設した多数の撮影用スタジオを自由に利用し、仲間を募って動画作品を作成することができます。番組内で決定するグランプリ作品はカンヌ広告祭にエントリーされ、その制作者には、副賞としてフランス旅行が贈呈されます。（なお、視聴者からの作品の募集期間は、２００７年１２月１日から２００８年１月１５日まで）
以降の展開として、現在大阪市内に建設中の朝日放送新社屋（２００８年新春竣工予定）を「セカンドライフ」内でひと足早く披露し、番組関連グッズの配布や動画の公開、番組と連動したイベントなど、さまざまな企画を計画中です。
尚、企画の運営は朝日放送グループ内の株式会社デジアサが執り行い、仮想空間の制作はサイバーアドベンチャー株式会社に委託します。今回の企画は２００７年１２月１日公開を予定しています。

朝日放送は「セカンドライフ」内に
ＡＢＣ（http://slurl.com/secondlife/ABC/128/128/0）のほか、ＡＳＡＨＩ、ＴＶ、ＮＡＫＡＮＯＳＨＩＭＡの合計４つの島を保有する。

| 紀州の偉人「笠松左太夫」をモチーフにした楽曲 ポーランドでリリース |
アーティスト「SADAYU」が第六感で制作する
西洋人の心を掴む“和の旋律”
有限会社サウンドスタッフ（和歌山県和歌山市 社長：桂節）が企画制作した楽曲『GREAT SADAYU』が、ポーランドの大手レコード会社「カオスEMI」が制作・販売するコンピレーションアルバム『Alternative Trippin’』に収録され、現在、同国で販売されています。
江戸時代初期に活躍した、紀州の偉人「笠松左太夫」の壮絶な人生をモチーフにした楽曲『GREAT SADAYU』は、今年1月に仏カンヌで開催された国際音楽見本市（※）MIDEM2007の出展作品としてサウンドスタッフが企画制作。 同見本市の閉幕直後から同楽曲の販売権に関してのオファーが同社に殺到し、その中の一つポーランドのカオスEMI社と独占契約を結びました。
同楽曲は、“世界のサウンド”をコンセプトにしたコンピレーションアルバム『Alternative Trippin’』（9カ国20曲）に収録され、現在、ポーランドでのCD販売、さらにフランスではネット配信される予定です。

| 『GREAT SADAYU』を作曲したサウンドスタッフ社長の桂節は、会社経営の傍ら楽曲制作にも力を入れ、「SADAYU」というアーティスト名で、これまでに3度MIDEMへ出展してきました。風やせせらぎの自然音、仏具や和楽器を巧みに取り入れ、読経とのアレンジを施された曲こそがSADAYUの真骨頂であり、これまでに世界の音楽関係者、とりわけヨーロッパの音楽関係者から高い支持を受けてきました。 そして、何と言ってもユニークなのはその制作スタイル。心の内にある声（第六感、インスピレーション）との対話による曲づくりは奇想天外というほかありません。計算尽くされたストーリー性ある内容にもかかわらず、事前に構成を考えることはなく、頭に浮かんだ旋律を心の声、言い換えればもう一人の自分と取捨選択しながら、つなぎ合わせて曲を完成させてゆきます。 2008年のMIDEMも、この制作スタイルで完成させた楽曲を出展しますので、注目ください。 |

| ユニバーサルデザインを採用した吉野ヒノキの「まな板」発売 |
作り手の顔が見える一生もの
メガソフト株式会社（本社：大阪府吹田市、代表取締役社長：井町良明）は、同社が企画・運営するオンラインマガジン「イエマガ」において、住まい創りコーディネータの近藤裕人氏が奈良県吉野郡川上村との共同企画により制作したオリジナルデザインのまな板「にっぽんのまな板」を2007年10月4日より販売開始しています。
■吉野ひのきを使った昔ながらのまな板に、ユニバーサルデザインを採用
「にっぽんのまな板」は、住まいのオンラインマガジン「イエマガ」の人気連載コーナー「近藤さんの空間スケッチ」でおなじみの近藤裕人氏と、イエマガ編集部、そして吉野郡川上村の人々との出会いの中から生まれた、オリジナルデザインのまな板です。
吉野の人工林は500年もの歴史を持ち、その上質な木材は大阪城や伏見城の建築にも利用されました。しかし、近年は木材の利用が減少したことから採算性の悪化が進み、人工林に不可欠な間伐などの手入れが行き届かず、森林の荒廃が深刻化しています。
「にっぽんのまな板」は、「暮らしの中に木をとりいれよう」というコンセプトのもと、身近なところから本物の木に触れてもらうことを目的としています。吉野ひのきを使った昔ながらのまな板でありながら、子供からお年寄りまで使えるユニバーサルデザインを採用。親から子へ、年配者から若い人へ、良いものを選ぶこと、ものを大事にする心を伝えます。
環境問題に関心の高いイエマガ読者に向けて、台所に立つことが楽しくなる昔ながらの木のまな板、作り手の顔が見える一生もののまな板を提案します。

環境問題に関心の高いイエマガ読者に向けて、台所に立つことが楽しくなる昔ながらの木のまな板、作り手の顔が見える一生もののまな板を提案します。

アンリツ、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式携帯電話端末対応のラジオコミュニケーションアナライザーを開発
ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式携帯電話端末に対応
ラジオコミュニケーションアナライザ ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂ
アンリツ株式会社（社長 戸田 博道）は、ラジオコミュニケーションアナライザＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂの機能を強化。新たに、中国が独自に開発・推進している第３世代携帯電話システムであるＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ（注）方式携帯電話端末に対応したＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ測定ハードウェア ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ－００７／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂ－００７、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ測定ソフトウェア ＭＸ８８２００７Ｃ、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡボイスコーデック ＭＸ８８２００７Ｃ－００１を開発。８月１３日から販売を開始いたしました。
ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂに、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ基本構成を搭載することで、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式携帯端末の呼接続試験（基地局と携帯電話端末の接続試験）、ＲＦ送受信試験（携帯電話端末の送信・受信性能に関する試験）が行えます。
ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式携帯電話端末は、ＧＳＭ方式へも対応できるデュアルモード（※１）になることが予定されていますが、ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂは、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ／ＧＳＭデュアルモード試験構成が可能。さらに、ＭＴ８８２０Ｂは、２台の携帯電話端末を同時に試験できるパラレルフォン測定機能を有していることから、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ／ＧＳＭデュアルモード携帯電話端末の量産に最適です。
また、オーディオ構成を追加することで、対向通話試験やオーディオ試験も可能となり、開発段階での音声通話品質の評価も行えます。
［開発の背景］
携帯電話加入者数が増加の一途をたどっている中国は、今や世界最大の携帯電話市場となり、第３世代方式携帯電話サービスの普及への期待も高まっています。こうした中、中国が独自に開発・推進している第３世代携帯電話システムであるＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式は、北京オリンピックに向け、試験運用が大幅に拡大される予定です。また、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式対応の携帯電話端末はＧＳＭ方式とのデュアルモードになることが予定されています。
これまでアンリツは中国の端末メーカーに、Ｗ－ＣＤＭＡ／ＧＳＭデュアルモード携帯電話端末の製造用測定器として、ラジオコミュニケーションアナライザＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂを提供してまいりましたが、これらのメーカーからＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ方式の試験運用拡大に向け、これらのメーカーから同方式への対応が強く求められていました。そこで、新たにＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ測定ハードウェア ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ－００７／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂ－００７、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ測定ソフトウェア ＭＸ８８２００７Ｃ、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡボイスコーデック ＭＸ８８２００７Ｃ－００１を開発いたしました。ＧＳＭ試験構成のＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂに、ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂ－００１、ＭＴ８８２０Ｂ－００７／ＭＴ８８１５Ｂ－００７、ＭＸ８８２００７Ｃ、ＭＸ８２００７Ｃ－００１を搭載することにより、ＴＤ－ＳＣＤＭＡ／ＧＳＭデュアルモード携帯電話端末の評価で実施される呼接続試験、ＲＦ送受信試験など各種試験が行えます。
