| Brookfield management consultant wins national contract
Organization Development Consultants Inc. (ODC), a Brookfield-based management consultant company, announced today that it has been selected by the Catholic University of America to be the program evaluation provider for the $2.9 million Technology Engineering Scholars project through the U.S. Department of Labor. The project is aimed at promoting higher education and reducing tuition costs so U.S. citizens might meet the educational requirements for Washington, D.C.-area jobs often held by foreign nationals working in the United States under H-1B Visas. Daniel Schroeder, Ph.D, a principal with ODC, will be the project manager for the program. Schroeder, who writes a monthly column about human resources in Small Business Times, said he believes ODC was chosen because of its recognized expertise in program and outcome evaluation, with higher education as an emerging focus of the firm's programs and services of this kind.

RFID company struggling with revenue slump
RFID Ltd. Inc., a radio frequency identification system integration company, is considering going private or selling some of the company's assets to avoid insolvency. The Denver-based company (OTCBB: RFDL) said Friday the cost of remaining publicly traded was too great, and it is not generating enough revenue to cover expenses. "RFID Ltd. has undergone a major resource loss of both operating capital and human capital," the company's written statement said, noting that the trend has hurt its ability to generate necessary revenue. The company's share price plummeted 58 percent in morning trading Monday, to 0.012 cent per share. RFID Ltd. Inc. was formed and went public in 2005 through a reverse merger with Packaged RFID Inc. It mainly relied on contract labor.
BUSINESS WIRE: Idate: Femtocells - 18 Million UMTS Femtocells Are Expected At 2011

MONTPELLIER, France --(BUSINESS WIRE)--26.11.2007--
Femtocells have seemingly gone from cult to mainstream in the space of a year. Despite this, no femtocells have been deployed commercially and considerable hurdles must be overcome before units can be rolled out on a wide-scale basis.
As such, the approach of this report carried out by IDATE, is to present the views of leading experts from the vendor and operator communities, as well as a summary of the activities of all concerned in bringing femtocells to market. It is hoped that this will provide an effective overview of the market as it stands now, albeit one that is necessarily incomplete and a work in progress.
