SINGAPORE--06/03/2012, UNITED STATES--(Marketwire -03/06/12)- STATS ChipPAC Ltd. ("STATS ChipPAC" or the "Company") (SGX-ST: STATSChP), a leading semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, today announced its next-generation three dimensional (3D) embedded Wafer Level Ball Grid Array (eWLB) Package-on-Package (PoP) solutions. This innovative new 3D technology provides an ultra thin package profile height below 1.0mm, a 30% height reduction over the industry standard 1.4mm total stacked package height.

Market demand for advanced, multi-functional portable electronic devices is driving the need for semiconductor packages with higher thermal and electrical performance, increased bandwidth and speed in an ultra thin package profile. PoP has been a successful 3D packaging approach by virtue of the flexibility it offers in combining individual memory and logic packages vertically into a single solution in the industry standard 1.4mm total stacked package height. While current PoP technologies are effective in integrating multiple functions in a small form factor, reaching the next level of packaging bandwidth and performance in more advanced mobile devices drive advancements in the stacked package profile height below 1.0mm as well as tighter substrate line/space capability.

STATS ChipPAC's eWLB PoP technology offers customers significant performance, cost and height advantages over traditional substrate-based PoP technology. By utilizing eWLB's fan-out wafer level packaging approach, STATS ChipPAC has been able to reduce the bottom PoP package height to less than 0.5mm. eWLB PoP is available in either a single or double-sided configuration and provides a flexible integration platform for stacking a wide range of memory packages on top with a final stacked package height below 1.0mm.

"With eWLB we are able to offer a next-generation 3D PoP technology that achieves heterogeneous die integration and higher input/output (IO) density in a significantly smaller footprint than is possible today with standard PoP and flip chip technology. The maximum benefits of eWLB PoP can be achieved through a co-design process with our customers to optimize the functional performance of this ultra thin 3D package," said Dr. Han Byung Joon, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, STATS ChipPAC. "This is the thinnest 3D PoP solution available in the industry today and it delivers significant cost and performance advantages for our customers."

With high-performance and power-efficient capabilities in an inherently small, ultra-thin package profile, eWLB has been a technology enabler for advanced mobile applications such as smartphones, media tablets and cloud computing. STATS ChipPAC has shipped over 200 million eWLB units at a rapidly increasing run rate and is in volume production with a large number of eWLB package architectures including small die, large die, multi-die and multi-layer designs.

"eWLB has proven to be a scalable advanced technology that opens up a number of opportunities for our customers in terms of product design. In addition to mobile applications, there has been a growing interest from customers in computing applications where fanning out the device interconnection using eWLB technology can reduce substrate complexity and costs. eWLB is also well-suited for the microcontroller market where reducing cost and form factor are a priority," said Hal Lasky, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer, STATS ChipPAC.

STATS ChipPAC will be presenting the latest information on innovative 3D packaging solutions including eWLB, low cost copper column flip chip PoP technology and stacked die integration of RF packages at the IMAPS International Conference and Exhibition on Device Packaging that is being held March 5th - 8th, 2012 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

HANOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CeBIT

Actian Corporation today announced that Deutsche Familienversicherung AG (DFV AG), a leading insurance company based in Germany, has selected Actians proven analytical database, Vectorwise as its long-term data warehousing solution. By using Vectorwise, the insurance company can aggregate its data and optimize analytics in order to perform complex analysis, some of them in real-time.

With the growth of data in the insurance sector, the speed and stability of a database have become major factors, especially when it comes to analyzing and reporting on corporate figures and, ultimately, customer satisfaction. As its master data had grown considerably over the years and also increased in complexity, DFV AG was looking for a stable and future-proof database that would also easily accommodate further growth.

As a young, dynamic organization we prefer innovative, cost-efficient software solutions which we can also combine with solutions from established vendors. Therefore, we were not only looking for a long-term relationship with a good partner who understands and meets our requirements but also for ways to meet our financial needs, says Dr. Stefan M. Knoll, Executive Director of DFV AG, explaining the companys current IT strategy.

As part of its strategy, DFV AG uses commercial Open Source solutions for Business Intelligence (BI) and ETL. Representing the third technology layer in the IT stack, DFV sought to find a reliable database software solution that would then fit in with the existing IT infrastructure and hardware environment.

Following a comprehensive proof-of-concept phase during which we evaluated a number of options, Vectorwise emerged as the best solution with respect to our IT needs, continues Dr. Knoll. During a three-month test phase, which included continuous support by the German Actian team, Vectorwise was also tested for its integration capability with the existing BI and ETL tools.

A strict optimization of the database tables is not an absolute necessity with Vectorwise because the Actian solution provides ample performance even for ad hoc analyses of huge amounts of data. We have already seen a significant performance benefit over our existing, non column-oriented database under the same conditions. As a result, we expect to see a marked improvement in the area of customer service and, ultimately, a competitive advantage, adds Dr. Knoll.

Master data is a valuable asset especially in the insurance sector, and the speed of data analytics plays a major role, explains Olaf Laber, Director Business Development, Central Europe at Actian. We are delighted that DFV AG has made Vectorwise its solution of choice and relies on our high-speed database technology.

Vectorwise is a high-performance database for interactive reporting and analysis that leverages the power of advanced mainstream CPUs. Vectorwise includes a database engine that uses vector-based processing and on-chip memory to achieve significant performance improvements for real-time inquiries and analyses compared to other databases.

NEW YORK An overwhelming majority of likely Latino voters supports both the DREAM Act and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in general, even as GOP candidates continue to dig their heels in on the immigration issue, an exclusive national poll by Fox News Latino and Latin Insights has found.

Ninety percent of Latino voters surveyed said they supported the DREAM Act, legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented youths who attend university or serve in the military.

The DREAM Act has long been a consensus issue for Latinos, few of whom view undocumented youth as responsible for the decision to immigrate.

But the poll also found that 85.9 percent of registered Latino voters supported providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in general, indicating broad consensus among Hispanics that people of all ages should be given a chance to normalize their status.

Latino support of a path for citizenship is significantly higher than the general populations, though recent polling data indicates a majority of American voters support a path to citizenship for the undocumented, independent of ethnicity.

A Fox News poll released in December found 66 percent of registered voters supported allowing undocumented immigrants remain in the country and eventually qualify for citizenship, on the condition that they meet requirements including learning English, paying back taxes and pass background checks. Fifty-seven percent of Republicans surveyed in the December poll supported a path to citizenship under those requirements.

GOP Hopefuls Losing Ground Among Latinos: Fox News Latino Exclusive Poll

Consensus among Latino voters on the immigration issue appears clear, though GOP candidates continue to take hardline stances.

At a televised debate last month in Mesa, Arizona, Mitt Romney called Arizonas E-Verify law a model for the nation and said that if elected he would drop Justice Department lawsuits against states that have passed laws mandating local police to enforce federal immigration law.

Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, and Newt Gingrich espouse similar positions emphasizing border security rather than immigration reform, though Gingrich has spoken in favor of creating a path to path to legal residency for some immigrants who have lived in the United States for many years.

By Bobby Fisher - March 5, 2012 | Tickers: COLM, FL, HIBB, NKE, FINL, UA | 0 Comments

Bobby is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinions of our bloggers and are not formally edited.

Sportswear makers, specificallyNike (NYSE: NKE)and Under Armour (NYSE: UA), have been outperforming the wider apparel and footwear sectors. Puma, Adidas,and Columbia Sportswear (NASDAQ: COLM)are also profiting from the positive momentum. Going forward, these companies will be benefitting from price declines in polyester and cotton, although they have to contend with higher labor costs in China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Brazil, as do other companies in the clothing and shoe sectors.

I expect advantageous valuations, improving performance, and positive cash positions of potential targets, as well as the intense competition in sports retailing in the U.S., to spur takeover and buyout activity in the sportswear sector.

One deal is already in the making. Private equity investor TPG Capital recently made an $820 million bid for Quiksilverrival Australian swimwear and surfing goods maker Billabong International. Billabong rejected the proposal and countered by announcing the sale of part of youth brand Nixon to cut debt and boost its performance. Nevertheless, it has left the door open for TPG to improve on its $3 per share offer or for another buyer to come forward.

I see the following five U.S. sportswear manufacturers or retailers as likely targets for private equity or for industry rivals.

As of December 31, 2010,Columbia Sportswear operated 41 outlet retail stores and eight branded retail stores in the U.S., 40 branded retail stores and 13 outlet retail stores in Japan and Korea; seven outlet retail stores and three branded retail stores in various locations in Western Europe; and two outlet retail stores in Canada. I believe that Columbias attractiveness lies in its excellent brand recognition and its increasing appeal to younger consumers thanks to its line of fishing-style sport shirts. Nike, with its $3.37 billion of cash, might be a potential buyer.

Columbia is a less likely target for VFC, which offers similar products under The North Face brand. Colombia currently has a market cap of $1.7 billion. Its forward P/E ratio is relatively high at 14.18 and so is its price to sales ratio of 0.98, which largely exceeds the 0.39 average for the textile/apparel clothing industry. However, its operating margin of 8.05% is better than the 6.88% industry average, and it has no debt.

Next, we have Hibbett Sports (NASDAQ: HIBB), whichoperates sporting goods stores in small to mid-sized markets primarily in the southeast, southwest, Mid-Atlantic, and the Midwest regions of the U.S. Its stores offer an assortment of athletic equipment, footwear, and apparel. The company also provides its merchandise directly to educational institutions and youth associations. Hibbett recently agreed for Dreams (DRJ) to become their exclusive online provider for team merchandise in the licensed sports category. As of April 30, 2011, HIBB operated a total of 799 retail stores comprised of 778 Hibbett Sports stores, 18 Sports Additions athletic shoe stores, and three Sports & Co. superstores in 26 states. HIBB could be a target for Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), the largest listed U.S. sporting goods retailer with 437 stores.

Buying more stores would help Dick's to compete against privately held The Sports Authority, which has more than 450 stores across the U.S. Dick's has made no major acquisitions since 2007, when it paid $40 million for Chick's Sporting Goods and $225 million for Golf Galaxy. Hibbetts market valuation is $1.28 billion. Its operating margin of 12.27% is well above the average of 4.05% for sporting goods stores. However, it is also more expensive, with a P/S of 1.83 compared to 0.82 for the industry, and a forward P/E ratio of 19.76. Hibbett has total cash of $53 million versus total debt of only $2.31 million.

WASHINGTON - Even in a flailing economy, many Texans in Congress have seen their personal net worth swell - and 17 of the state's 34 representatives on Capitol Hill have emerged from the recession with money in the millions.

"It's to be expected that members of Congress would see their holdings recover more quickly than ordinary Americans," says Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University. "They arrive in Congress better educated and wealthier than their constituents - and with established careers."

The median change was a 25 percent gain in delegation members' net worth over the latest four-year period - a far better performance than the 11 percent loss in value suffered by financial holdings tracked by Standard and Poor's 500 Index.

Of the U.S. senators and Congress members who represent the greater Houston area, 8 of 11 showed increases in personal wealth.

The exceptions are Republican Sen.Kay Bailey Hutchison, whose net worth dropped by 33 percent since the end of 2006 to an estimated $5.2 million at the end of 2010; U.S. Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land, whose net worth dropped 21 percent to $1.4 million; and U.S. Rep. Gene Green, a Houston Democrat who slipped 20 percent from $656,004 to an estimated $522,503.

Four Houston-area House members made the millionaire's cut: Republican Michael McCaul, with an estimated $380 million; Democrat Al Green, with an estimated $4.5 million; Republican Ron Paul, with an estimated $3.6 million; and Olson.

McCaul's holdings make him the second wealthiest member of Congress, in large part due to the financial status of his wife, Linda Mays McCaul, who received money transfers from her father, Clear Channel Communications Chairman Lowry Mays. McCaul's estimated net worth grew from almost $47 million in 2007 to $380 million in 2010.

Data from center

"A lot of members are wealthy to start with and wealthy people are more likely to have a financial adviser looking over their assets to ensure that they take advantage of opportunities," says Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics and who has tracked tracks lawmakers' finances.

Past studies by Georgia State scholar Alan Ziobrowski found lawmakers' portfolios often outperform constituents' holdings.

Long-serving Proteas all-rounder Jacques Kallis [ Images ] has announced that he will make a special donation to the Yuvraj Singh [ Images ] Foundation.

Kallis made the announcement as Cricket South Africa [ Images ] (CSA) declared that Kallis is to be honoured at a special T20 international between India [ Images ] and South Africa at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on March 30.

"I would also like to announce that I will be making a personal donation to the Yuvraj Singh Foundation. As we all know Yuvraj is going through a difficult time at the moment battling a serious illness and I went through a similar experience when my own father died of cancer at a relatively young age," Kallis said.

"I am sure the entire Proteas' squad and indeed the Cricket South Africa family joins me in wishing him a speedy recovery."

"This match is a follow-up to last year's successful T20 match at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban," said Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive Gerald Majola, adding that agreement had been reached with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to make this an annual fixture.

"We want to make this a Jacques Kallis evening in which we acknowledge his huge contribution to the Proteas and South African cricket generally as player, role model and mentor," Majola said.

The inaugural match in January 2011 was a glittering affair preceded by a Bollywood concert featuring Shahrukh Khan [ Images ], Anil Kapoor [ Images ], Priyanka Chopra [ Images ] and Shahid Kapur [ Images ].

It brought to an end a year of festivities to celebrate the arrival of the first Indian indentured labourers to South Africa 150 years earlier.

Kallis said he felt humbled and honoured to be given this tribute.

"It is something I really appreciate. Cricket South Africa has given me wonderful opportunities to live the dream I have had from the moment I picked up a cricket bat for the first time."
