PAETEC Software Corp., a division of PAETEC Holding Corp. (NASDAQ GS: PAET), today announced the availability of its Switch Manager Module for Nortel(R) for Version 6 of the award-winning PINNACLE Communications Management Suite. Owners of Nortel Meridian(R), Succession(R), Meridian SL-100(R) and CS 2100(R) switches can now streamline processes, eliminate errors and duplicate data entry, and maximize the return on their PINNACLE investment as a result of this powerful enhancement to the industry's leading Service Lifecycle Management application suite.
"We implemented PAETEC's PINNACLE Switch Manager for our Nortel CS 1000M Succession switch and realized immediate results," said Harry Morita, ITS Telecommunications User Services Manager for the University of Hawaii. "We are saving significant time by automatically updating the switch without the need for programmers. Not only are we saving money, but our improved turnaround time on orders also makes our customers extremely happy."
This new switch integration capability in PINNACLE V6 follows on the heels of PAETEC's April 23, 2008, commercial release of PINNACLE Communications Management Suite Version 6, the most advanced yet flexible solution for achieving total Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) of critical IT resources. In June, PINNACLE V6 was named the 2007 Product of the Year by Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Communications Solutions magazine.
PINNACLE is a fully integrated next-generation software suite that offers large organizations the ability to enable effective communications lifecycle management and to consolidate the management and delivery of all technology-related services. Among its many benefits to Nortel switch owners, this new Switch Manager feature empowers IT administrators to:
-- Eliminate the need to learn complex switch commands
-- Reduce provisioning time by using templates for common
configurations
-- Automatically synchronize switch/PINNACLE databases
-- Eliminate duplicate data entry and associated risk of errors
-- Integrate Moves, Adds, Changes, Disconnects (MACD) and
PINNACLE processes
"PINNACLE Version 6 sets the benchmark by unifying Telecom Expense Management (TEM), Service Management, Operations Management, and Regulatory Compliance into a single suite for complete management of an organization's IT infrastructure," said Larry Foster, Vice President and General Manager for PINNACLE Software Solutions. "Today, our Switch Manager for Nortel module raises the bar again by seamlessly integrating critical Nortel and PINNACLE business systems with the ultimate goal of improving efficiencies and return on investment for our mutual customers."

It's been a rather brutal market for almost two weeks.... I don't know about you guys but I'm ready for a broad market recovery (even if it's slightly flat in some sectors) and for the red sea to retract a little....these bloody tsunamis are becoming relentless!
One look at this tells me everything I need to "see" today...wow, it's a brutal market today
http://www.finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec
CROX breaking out- off the bottom from yesterday
CROX +5% $4.58 coming off the bottom
CROX running again $4.57
Watch it tomorrow - It's due for a correction off the bottom
CROX in the 4.50s now
Either that's the case or I'm being cursed after our numerous runs on FRE, ABK and the others.... starting to feel like I screwed up my Karma or something....
You're very welcome M7.... this has NOT been a good week in the market but there's always a turning point it's just a matter of 'when' - be careful out there lot's of sharks out there betting on the 'downside' of things
I would tread lightly with the financials right now....FRE/FNM are in freefall and down almost 30% today - they (FRE/FNM) have a notorious way of swinging the rest of the financial markets...frustrating but the dependency/relationship is there
ABK might be good for a swing but just wanted to provide you with my 2c
We might be stuck "on hold" for a little while but at least we can be grateful CROX didn't experience the massive -26% drop like HTOG today
Another spin on the CROX possibilities- With the failed acquisition of Heelys (HLYS) by Sketchers:
"Heelys Rejects Skechers Proposed Acquisition for $5.25/Share -
5:38 p.m. 08/19/2008
Martin, Heelys' Chairman of the Board said in a statement: "After careful consideration, our Board rejected the offer after concluding that their proposal was not in the best interest of our stockholders. The Board believes the $5.25 offering price does not reflect the value of Heelys and that entering into discussions with Skechers based on their unsolicited proposal is premature at this time."
It would be probable for Sketchers to go after CROX since CROX and Heelys are #1 competitors for each other.... definitely a likely next step if Sketchers wants to increase it's product diversity, gain the loyalty (and $$) of CROCS customers and a foothold in the European market

Still have these just sitting there....lol- not worth selling
Since you bought CROX twice today
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31569796
You said:
"CROX not today -BOUGHT at 1030 am and 130 pm"
In response to:
"CROX 30min. chart... they gonna let her run yet today!?"
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31565665
I'm not really sure why you would make a speculation of it dropping that far unless you're short...otherwise I have no idea as to why you wouldn't close your position based upon your forecast for it to drop to 3$
Please explain you theory and basis of your forecast
CROX- My take on it all: I don't foresee any monumental news that will drive this lower then $4.65- a buy out (still rumor) would launch this easily through the 7-8 range if not higher
Chart shows the following:
The Second half of the trading day RSI, MFI, WM, MACD and CMF (CMF was really high) were trending up all the way into the close.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31536879
resistance---$10.09 (14)
resistance---$8.90 (6)
resistance---$7.07 (10)
I'm truly at the mercy of this frustrating market-As IMO the US markets again were being hammered by media sensationalism, Big players and hedge funds tossing the market down again trying to encourage people to cut-losses and run so they can come in and sweep up before the next mini-rally...seems to becoming a trend these last few weeks. After all Oil only went up 2% today...
I'm hoping for a better market for the remainder of the week
Would the Gates fund really buy 1 million shares if they thought CROX was going to crash and burn?
I'm looking for it to fill the gap since when you look at the 10K vs. pps vs. short positions and the chart this has more then a significant chance of making the attempt to fill the first gap (Jul-25-2008 gap down $8.92 to $5.40) we just need volume and interest to continue what was started last week...
What is the deal? *(&$*#)@ market tries to run and then the short sellers jump in...WTH people trying to make it another -200 DOW day?!?
The charts yesterday showed quite a few positive indicators that it had a probability to run this am... you couldn't have foreseen the broader market pullback we're not psychic and can only estimate the outcome based on the factors at hand
CROX I doubled down at $4.84 could lose my ass on this but I believe it's going to go. 30 min chart looks ready and has had enough consolidation
Couldn't agree with you more YAK.... going to take a breather from the screens until after lunch
We'll be here and I hope the bleeding stops also -350 points (already) in two days is brutal....
I agree Nate total BS day in the market, have to hold and wait until tomorrow- Hope everyone else makes some $$ today
Still holding RHD and waiting for the CROX bounce (It made me %$#&$*@ this am on the drop) but I'm waiting
CC - Nate I think your CC play might be ready - see chart below
FRE going in the red along with numerous others....
FRE and FNM need to provide clear and concise information upon their 'restructuring', business model (old and new) and support they are receiving from the govt. Information on these keys issues would provide investor confidence as you've pointed out.
I held both lots from today - I'm loaded (heavy) for tomorrow and ready for the action- I think you're estimate for a gap and run (tomorrow) is dead on. Providing the market is flat or positive CROX should run hard
I had a feeling CROX would surge EOD....go baby go
Nate I "know" you were referring to FRE (now -23%).... not CROX (stll up 13%)
And to think we used to swing trade FRE and FNM all of the time- I still believe that FRE and FNM are viable companies and will continue to be supported by the govt.... however their operating models must (and will) have to change with the industry
WOW...FRE is -20% today and still dropping
I still think we might see a solid end-of-day surge of buying for CROX / people are watching the charts, see the gaps and know that significant short positions exist here...
DOW holding us back here...if this had been a green market day I bet we'd easily be in the 5.70's or higher
Looking for the breakout- added (@ 5.28) to my position down here
CROX round 2 kicking in within the last 20 minutes - not bad for a -150 DOW day
In RHD @ 2.35 - too busy working this am to post in a timely manner -lol-
Thanks for the reminder alerts and keeping the board up to date
I know, I missed the 5.25 dip on ABK that we talked about on Friday. Looks like the support was $.20 lower then either of us expected. ABK is trending nicely today, the general market is red and it's still up almost 10%
In Crox @ 5.10 - I left earlier to take the dogs out, just came back and look like they dipped it @ 10:25 to fill my order *nice*
