NEW YORK, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board announced today that the leading index for Korea increased 0.5 percent, while the coincident index increased 0.2 percent in May.

-- The leading index increased sharply in May following three consecutive
declines. Stock prices, index of inventories to shipments (inverted),
and value of machinery orders were the largest positive contributions
to the index this month. The six-month growth rate of the leading
index has slowed to a 0.1 percent rate (a 0.1 percent annual rate) in
May. Although this is an improvement from the -0.7 percent rate in
March, it is well below the 2.0-4.0 percent rate in late 2006. However,
the strengths and weaknesses among the leading indicators have become
somewhat balanced in the last two months.
-- The coincident index increased again in May, and the strength in the
index continued to be widespread. At the same time, real GDP grew at a
3.6 percent annual rate in the first quarter of 2007, slightly down
from a 4.4 percent average annual rate in the second half of 2006.
Despite the increase in May, the moderation in the growth rate of the
leading index since late 2006 so far suggests that slow to moderate
economic growth is likely to continue in the near term.

LEADING INDICATORS. Four of the seven components that make up the leading index increased in May. The positive contributors -- from the largest positive contributor to the smallest -- were stock prices, the (inverted) index of inventories to shipments, value of machinery orders, and real exports FOB. Negative contributors -- from the largest negative contributor to the smallest -- were private construction orders, the (inverted) yield of government public bonds, and letter of credit arrivals.

With the 0.5 percent increase in May, the leading index now stands at 157.7 (1990=100). Based on revised data, this index declined 0.2 percent in April and declined 0.6 percent in March. During the six-month span through May, the leading index increased 0.1 percent, with three of the seven components advancing (diffusion index, six-month span equals 57.1 percent).

COINCIDENT INDICATORS. Three of the four components that make up the coincident index increased in May. The positive contributors to the leading index -- in order from the largest positive contributor to the smallest -- were the wholesale and retail sales component, industrial production, and total employment. Monthly cash earnings declined in May.

With the 0.2 percent increase in May, the coincident index now stands at 167.6 (1990=100). Based on revised data, this index increased 1.0 percent in April and decreased 1.3 percent in March. During the six-month span through May, the coincident index increased 0.9 percent, with three of the four components advancing (diffusion index, six-month span equals 75.0 percent).

ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Borders will put down "The Hammer" July 11! "The Hammer" is a collection of "Sports Illustrated" magazine columns that chronicle baseball great Hank Aaron's entire career from his beginnings as a skinny teenage cross-handed slugger to his quest to hit home run number 755.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060208/BORDERSLOGO )

"The Hammer" focuses not only on Aaron's success on the field, but it also recounts the courage he displayed while enduring unspeakable hatred as well as his abiding commitment to social activism. The title of the book is a respectful reference to Aaron's nickname and his aggressive playing style.

Notable "Sports Illustrated" columnists featured in "The Hammer" include George Plimpton, Ron Fimrite and Mike Capuzzo. The book's introduction is written by columnist Tom Verducci. Two eight-page color inserts of classic "Sport Illustrated" photographs complete this special book, making it a great gift for the collector and baseball enthusiast.

"With the success 'Slip & Fall,' the first novel published under our proprietary and exclusive publishing program, we are excited to now offer a second title, "The Hammer," under our State Street Press imprint," said Bill Nasshan, senior vice president, trade books for Borders Group. "At the height of baseball season with Barry Bonds chasing Hank Aaron's home run record, this is great timing for our a beautiful book focusing on Aaron's legacy."

Borders' first exclusive and proprietary novel, "Slip & Fall" by Nick Santora, was released June 11 and has since reached bestseller lists at "The Wall Street Journal" and "The Boston Globe," and was recently named as a top summer read by "USA Today." Future titles under Borders' exclusive and proprietary publishing program include a 50th Anniversary of the GRAMMY Awards book and a John Legend Tour book.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Building customer loyalty significantly impacts a company's ability to drive revenue, thus excellent customer service is mandatory for sustained growth.

Today's service environment is more complicated than ever with more sophisticated products and services, demanding customers and costly turnover issues. While customer service managers strive to maintain high employee productivity in a stressful work environment, such challenges must be overcome to maintain satisfaction for both customers and employees.

Many customer service call center leaders who have successfully expanded their operations to include a sales function continually refine their organizational structure and operational processes, often leading to improved customer and employee loyalty. "Companies shouldn't be designing their organizational structure in isolation," explains Jonathan Tanz, Vice President of Research at Best Practices, LLC. "Successful transformation has to be heavily influenced by process owners and frontline management and should focus on making the organization more customer-centric."

Best Practices, LLC has studied this trend extensively by examining the best practices of 57 world-class companies that have successfully reorganized their call centers in more than 20 industries. The research team also conducted in-depth interviews with call center executives at industry leaders such as Carlson Leisure, GE Consumer Finance, Intuit, Sprint, and Wells Fargo. Best Practices, LLC published its findings in an 89-page research report entitled "Managing Service-to-Sales Cultural Transformation," that is available online, along with a free excerpt, at http://www3.best-in-class.com/rr829.htm.

The study details insights on imperative aspects of managing the call center service-to-sales cultural transformation including:

-- Transformational Leadership
-- Organizational Structure to Enable Performance
-- Management Activities to Support Change
-- Training Approaches to Empower Employees
-- Hiring Strategies for Success
-- Achieving Business Goals with Performance Measurement and Incentive
Systems

This research includes invaluable tools to help call center leaders continuously refine their organizational structure to improve implementation flaws and to accommodate new products or services and external changes in the marketplace.

LONDON, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The 10 members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) bound by the group's crude oil output agreements boosted production by 40,000 barrels per day (b/d) to 26.6 million b/d in June, from a revised May level of 26.56 million b/d, a Platts survey showed July 11. This is well above the 25.8 million b/d production target set in February by the so-called OPEC-10.

Total OPEC output, including volumes from Iraq and new member Angola, averaged 30.22 million b/d in June, slightly higher than a revised figure of 30.21 million b/d for May, the survey showed. Iraq does not participate in OPEC output agreements, while Angola, whose membership of the group began in January, has yet to accept or be allocated any output target.

Small volume increases totalling 80,000 b/d from Angola, Iran, Nigeria and the UAE were almost completely offset by output decreases totalling 70,000 b/d from Iraq, Indonesia and Venezuela.

Nigerian production in May has been revised downward to 2.05 million b/d from 2.13 million b/d. In June, the survey found Nigerian production to have risen to 2.08 million b/d from the revised May level.

The International Energy Agency has called on OPEC to increase production ahead of the winter to ensure consumer stocks are adequate. OPEC has insisted that there is no current need for additional supply from its members but that it stands ready to produce more crude if this becomes necessary.

"Given what groups such as the International Energy Agency are saying is required for supply and demand to stay balanced in the second half of the year, consumers can't view this latest report as anything but discouraging," says John Kingston, Platts global director of oil. "Particularly worrisome is the fact that in the best one-step-forward-one-step-back practice, the production gains that were recorded were offset by losses elsewhere, including Venezuela. A supply- demand balance that many see as a squeeze now, could be much tighter by the end of the year."

OPEC is next scheduled to meet on September 11 in Vienna, where it has its headquarters. The group last met in mid-March, when it decided to keep in place the nominal 1.7 million b/d in output curbs agreed late last year.

WASHINGTON, July 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mrs. Lynne Cheney and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Chairman Bruce Cole announced today that the NEH has awarded free copies of classic books to all of the District of Columbia (D.C.) public libraries. They were joined for the announcement by the Chief Librarian of the D.C. Public Libraries, Ginnie Cooper, which was made at the Anacostia Interim Public Library.

Each library will receive a set of the 15 books, four additional books in Spanish translation, a musical CD, posters, bookmarks, and other promotional materials from NEH through the American Library Association (ALA), which is working in partnership with the Endowment. As part of the award, libraries are organizing programs or events to raise awareness of these classic books and engage young readers.

The We the People Bookshelf on the "Pursuit of Happiness" contains the following books:

-- Grades K-3: Aesop's Fables by Aesop; Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening by Robert Frost; Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (also in
Spanish translation) by Virginia Lee Burton.

translation) by Willa Cather; The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald;
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman; and Common Sense by Thomas Paine.

As a bonus, each library receiving a We the People Bookshelf set will receive a music CD, Happy Land: Musical Tributes to Laura Ingalls Wilder. Scholastic, Inc., generously donated copies of the books Journal of Wong Ming- Chung and Esperanza Rising for this project.

YORBA LINDA, Calif., July 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today the National Archives and Records Administration opened the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. The new Library joins eleven other federally-operated libraries for Presidents from Herbert Hoover onward. Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein made the announcement at an 8 a.m. (PDT) ceremony for staff and friends at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA.

By agreement between the private Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation and the National Archives, control over the bulk of the facilities of the private Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace were transferred over to the federal government for use by the new Library. In addition, the transfer agreement gave to the Federal government presidential materials previously returned to President Nixon and his estate in the 1980s and 1990s. As a result, the National Archives today is marking the establishment of the new Library by releasing approximately 78,000 pages of previously restricted documents focusing on political activities of Richard Nixon and the Nixon administration.

The National Archives is also opening 11 1/2 hours of tape-recorded conversations revealing his thoughts on the 1972 Presidential and Congressional elections and his plans for the reorganization of his administration in its second term. These papers and many of the taped conversations are available due to a deed of gift from the private Nixon Foundation to the National Archives. The new Nixon Library also unveiled its web site at http://www.nixonlibrary.gov/.

"This is a long-awaited milestone in Presidential library history," said Professor Weinstein. "Historians, researchers, and the general public will eventually be able to come to this library and find all of President Nixon's materials under one roof."

Weinstein said that the transfer of the facility makes possible the eventual consolidation of Richard Nixon's pre-Presidential and post- Presidential materials, which have been housed in the private facility since 1990, with the official records of his administration that are currently at a National Archives facility in College Park, Maryland.

"President Nixon's administration is the best-documented Presidency in American history," Professor Weinstein added. "It will be an important destination for anyone interested in the Cold War, in U.S. relations with China and the Soviet Union, the Vietnam War and its impact at home, dramatic changes in the nation's economy, in the history of the Watergate scandal, and in the history of the Presidency.

"The new Nixon Library will be a nonpartisan facility that will provide an interactive, 360 degree view of the life and times of Richard Nixon," Professor Weinstein said, noting that the Library and Museum will be staffed by federal employees who report to the National Archives.

In 2006, Professor Weinstein designated presidential historian Timothy Naftali as the first director of the new Federal Nixon Library. Dr. Naftali emphasized that the new Library will be a major resource for everyone interested in modern American history. "The new Library belongs to the people of the United States," Dr. Naftali said. "It will be a center of discussion, debate, and scholarly exploration. Its mission is to inspire a love of history and critical thinking."

Background on Released Materials

The materials being released today were returned to Richard Nixon and his estate by the National Archives because they were deemed not to relate to the statutory duties of the President or relate to abuses of governmental power, as defined by the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act (PRMPA) of 1974 and its implementing public access regulations. As part of the agreement governing the transfer of the Nixon Library to the National Archives, the Foundation has donated these important materials to the National Archives to be released to the public.

Most of the documents being released today come from a special file created by the Nixon White House in 1972 for politically sensitive materials. In addition, the release includes documents from the files of his closest aides, including chief of staff H.R. Haldeman, domestic adviser John Ehrlichman, and political adviser Charles Colson. The National Archives is also releasing approximately 20,000 pages from the White House Central Files that had been returned to Nixon under PRMPA.

These materials provide new insight into the political strategies of the Nixon White House and Richard Nixon's 1968 and 1972 Presidential campaigns. They also shed new light on Richard Nixon's role as a political strategist, analyst and tactician. The materials include correspondence with or about many important politicians and public figures, including George H. W. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower, Billy Graham, Frank Sinatra, O. J. Simpson, Johnny Cash, and Bob Dole.

NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Har/V invites readers to travel to an island paradise governed by a simple understanding of right and wrong in his new book, "Double Love" (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com/).

Lance Olsen is an agent for an altruistic world order that takes the world's problems into its own hands. Composed of many of the most affluent, influential people in the world, they have the power to "smother smoldering embers before they become flames."

On a mission, Lance meets a beautiful woman and her daughter. She invites Lance to live on her private island. Together they build a family on their island, and it soon becomes a nation of which Lance is the leader. On this mythical island, people are guided by a strong sense of right and wrong.

"The story reflects a world where everything is done on the basis of right and wrong rather than a freedom to do wrong under a Constitution," Har/V writes. "Everyone ... would like to see a world based on right and doing away with wrong. This book reflects a means to that end if such a place could be found."

As Lance reflects on his past life, readers see how peaceful life can be in this new world of love and understanding.

"This book has already appealed to everyone that has read it, talked about it or heard about it," Har/V says. "If Fire Falls Island existed, they would leave for it today and never return if they were allowed in and to stay in this country."

Har/V takes great pleasure in venting a build-up of thoughts and imaginary events. To prevent contaminating his thinking and writing, he does not read others' writing. "Double Love" is his first book.

-- Offers First Recurring Survey of Fastest Growing U.S. Population to Connect with 16.8 Million Americans --

NEW YORK, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- GfK Consumer, a division of GfK Custom Research North America, today announced the launch of its Unacculturated Hispanic In-Person Research Program, the first of its kind to gather consumer intelligence from the marketplace, representing 40% of the more than 42 million Hispanics in the U.S.

"By 2050, one in four Americans will be Hispanic," says Patricia Hughes, Managing Director, GfK's Consumer. "It is vital that companies learn how to effectively address this burgeoning market's needs now to help gain an edge over the competition."

As the only regularly fielded face-to-face survey of the Hispanic marketplace, the initiative joins other GfK Hispanic market research services including GfK Roper Hispanic Omnitel, Hispanic Qualitative, and GfK Audits and Surveys Hispanic Small Food Store.

By reducing costly, manual steps in the test process, lab and test automation speeds time to market with no loss in quality of service. This award is a powerful testament to QuikCycle's commitment to automation best practices."

"The QuikCycle Automation Suite is clearly deserving of recognition in the networking technology sector of the IP Communications industry. We're proud to reward their hard work with a TMC Labs Innovation Award this year," said TMC President Rich Tehrani.

LIMERICK, Ireland, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Blood, betrayal, the forging of a nation, timeless unrelenting love and laughter by the buckets-full are found in Sean Hayes' new book, "The Breagagh Saga" (now available through AuthorHouse), a beautifully crafted collection of stories that blends together the Ireland of legend and of modern times so artfully that it is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins.

Hayes combines poetry, prose, myth, legend and modern-day memoir with a mischievous and endearing cast of characters that will pull at the heartstrings, tickle the funny bone and delight the imagination. Inspired by his childhood in the Irish countryside, this varied collection of stories includes an assortment of characters not often seen together. From a housewife and an American president to Celtic warriors, princesses and leprechauns, these brilliant characters offer a portrait of reality while simultaneously bringing fantasy to life.

Through poetry and prose, Hayes tackles a broad spectrum of subject matter including humorous tales of human insight; heartrending stories of poverty, lost love, political betrayal and death; silly poems; and historical portraits of the Irish people. "There are many stories that will make you laugh, make you think and, most of all, make you remember your own childhood and relive it," says Independent Literary Agent Sunny Burch.

Set in the beautiful valley of the Breagagh River in Kilkenny, Ireland, Hayes' stories are an authentic slice of Irish life that will touch readers of all ages with their honesty and inspiration. "This is a book that entire families will read," he says. "Parents will read the fantasy tales to their small children while older children will delight in the riotous escapades of leprechauns who invade the Dublin International Airport causing mayhem and madness at every turn. The adult and near adult will be touched by the tales of love and loyalty, betrayal and heartbreak, as well as side-splitting humor that keeps one grabbing for tissues to catch tears of one kind or another."

Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, Hayes was among the youngest in a family of 13 children. His father died when he was very young, and "The Breagagh Saga" is a tribute to his mother, sisters and brothers. Still living in Kilkenny, Hayes works in the Irish construction industry. "The Breagagh Saga" is his first book, but he is currently working on three new projects with release dates in the coming year.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, July 11/PRNewswire/ --

- 24/7 Access to Online Video Reviews of Medical Procedures Contributes
to Medical Error Reduction

Elsevier, the leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical
information products and services, today released Procedures Consult, an
online multimedia training and reference tool that helps physicians, medical
residents and students prepare for, perform and test their knowledge of 39
top medical procedures. Procedures Consult helps physicians visualize and
review procedures through a blend of text, video, animation and
illustrations. By providing speedy access to customized information on
procedures that a physician may not have studied or conducted for a period of
time, Procedures Consult helps reduce the potential for medical errors and
complications.

"Procedures Consult allows physicians, residents and students to
customize their online educational experiences," says Dr. Jonathan Teich, an
attending physician in emergency medicine at Harvard's Brigham and Women's
Hospital and Chief Medical Informatics Officer at Elsevier. "Physicians, and
other clinicians who perform procedures can access the full details for an
upcoming procedure or settle on quick review summaries for emergencies.
Procedures Consult allows them to verify their knowledge and skills before
conducting a procedure, which in turn leads to reduced medical errors."

Physicians who access the Web-based product can view a video of a common
procedure such as a central line placement or nasogastric intubation. Each
procedure includes video of what physicians see when doing the procedure and
high-quality animation of aspects that the physician can't see but needs to
visualize. Physicians can also jump to any section of a video or repeat
specific sections and step-by-step text and illustrations accompany each
procedure. Related information such as indications, contraindications,
anatomy, equipment and complications are also included.

See One, Do One, Teach One now safer

Procedures Consult adds a layer of safety to the medical education adage
"See One - Do One - Teach One," which refers to how physicians typically see
a procedure demonstrated, perform the procedure and then teach the procedure
to a physician colleague. Procedures Consult allows physicians to see a video
of an expert performing a procedure before actually doing it themselves, once
or as many times as needed. Physicians typically demonstrate procedures only
when patients are available, but Procedures Consult allows physicians to
access procedures 24/7 and view them repeatedly, until they fully understand
the procedure.

Once students and residents have reviewed the material on Procedures
Consult, they can complete an online test to evaluate their knowledge.
Physician executives and faculty members can then track the performance of a
large population of trainees using online reports.

Based on input from more than 100 educators, residents and medical
students, Elsevier focused the launch of Procedures Consult on common
high-risk/high volume procedures such as thoracentesis, central venous
catherization, lumbar puncture, basic airway management, digital nerve block,
arterial blood gas sampling, stapling devices, defibrillation, and arterial
cannulation, as well as some procedures like needle thoracostomy which are
done infrequently, but are critical to patient safety.

Elsevier plans to roll out additional procedures in emergency medicine,
orthopedics and anesthesiology in the near future.

Healthcare Organization Benefits

Healthcare organizations can customize Procedures Consult by editing
content to precisely fit their needs. They can also add procedure-specific
alerts and links to institutional resources, e.g. informed consent forms,
hospital standard procedures, and patient education materials. Organizations
can also monitor how many physicians have completed testing and use that
information for credentialing purposes.

"Procedures Consult helps physician executives better manage the high
costs of medical education and reduce malpractice risk. Physicians can use
the tool to improve patient safety and increase practice revenues by learning
how to perform medical procedures in the safest and most efficient ways
possible," says Brian Nairn, CEO of Elsevier's Health Sciences Division.
"This new reference and decision support tool is another integrated component
of how Elsevier improves outcomes in health and in the business of health."

Other unique features of Procedures Consult include highlighted patient
safety guidelines from national organizations such as the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) in the context of each procedure, and a
section devoted to clinical pearls, which offer physicians expert tips on how
to perform procedures successfully.

Procedures Consult follows standards developed by the Accreditation
Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and includes procedures
recommended by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

More information and a demonstration video of a Needle Thoracostomy is
available at www.ProceduresConsult.com.

NEW YORK, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence, which had improved to 53 in the first quarter of 2007, fell to 45 in the second quarter. A reading of more than 50 points reflects more positive than negative responses. The survey includes about 100 business leaders in a wide range of industries.

Says Lynn Franco, Director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center: "Several quarters of sluggish economic growth have taken a toll on CEOs' confidence, erasing two quarters of improvement. Looking ahead, CEOs do not expect a significant turnaround in conditions and profit expectations. Only a quarter expect profits to increase versus three-quarters last year, reflecting their pessimistic outlook."

CEOs' assessment of current economic conditions was little changed from earlier this year, with 23 percent of CEOs compared to 24 percent last quarter claiming the current economic environment is better. In assessing their own industries, however, business leaders were considerably less optimistic. Approximately 23 percent claim conditions are better, down from about 37 percent in the first quarter.

CEOs are less optimistic about the short-term outlook than last quarter. Now, just 17 percent of business leaders expect economic conditions to improve in the next six months, down from 27 percent last quarter. Expectations for their own industries were also significantly less positive, with 17 percent anticipating an improvement, down from 35 percent last quarter.

Moderate Profit Expectations

On the issue of profit expectations over the next 12 months, only 22 percent of executives anticipate increases. Executives engaged in the non- durable goods industry are the most optimistic, with 18 percent expecting profits to increase. Executives in the durable goods industry are a close second, with 11 percent anticipating a rise in profits.

Among chief executive officers who expect profits to increase, 46 percent believe technology will drive profits up, while 29 percent cite price increases as the main source of improvement. Only 17 percent foresee market/demand growth as a driver of growth and the remaining 8 percent cite cost reductions.

Clever, Interactive System Introduces Basic Computing and Early School Skills

EMERYVILLE, Calif., July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc., a leading developer of technology-based learning products, today launched ClickStart(TM) My First Computer. The new ClickStart is an interactive system designed for children ages 3-6 that turns any family TV into a kid-friendly computer experience that introduces important core preschool skills and basic computer functionality.

The innovative ClickStart system (MSRP $59.99) features a cartridge console that plugs into the TV and a child-sized wireless keyboard and convertible mouse able to accommodate both right- and left-handed children. It looks and works like a grown-up desktop, allowing children to benefit from using a computer while sparing mom and dad's high-end equipment. ClickStart teaches important keyboard navigation, mousing, shapes and colors, counting, ABCs, phonics and simple math skills. Through leveled learning, children advance to more challenging lessons as they develop these core skills.

A recent study by the NPD Group, Kids and Consumer Electronics, found that kids are using consumer electronics at ever younger ages. The same study showed that 90 per cent of homes with kids ages 4-14 now own a desktop computer, and children ages 4-5 use a desktop computer an average of 2.7 days per week.

"Children today are surrounded by technology, and see family members constantly using a variety of electronics. It's natural that they want to mimic this behavior," said Nancy MacIntyre, executive vice president, product innovation and marketing at LeapFrog. "Parents told us that they wanted a safe, child-friendly tool that exposes their preschoolers to the computing experience. ClickStart delivers on the LeapFrog promise of innovative learning opportunities for children of all ages."

Shipping with ClickStart is a software library (MSRP $19.99 each) featuring kids' favorite characters and original LeapFrog content to broaden the robust desktop experience. Titles include Dora the Explorer: Friends! Amigos!; Finding Nemo: Sea of Keys; Thomas & Friends: Learning Destinations; and Toy Story: To 100 & Beyond. These beloved characters, along with LeapFrog creations, present youngsters with a host of challenges and creative adventures: kids can draw animal habitats, explore the deep-sea underwater world, navigate an obstacle course and help repair a bridge, among other engaging game play.

WASHINGTON, July 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Private equity is an integral part of the American economy that significantly strengthens companies and contributes hundreds of billions of dollars in profits to pension funds, university endowments, charitable foundations and other private equity investors, according to a new white paper released today by the Private Equity Council.

The report, "Public Value: A Primer on Private Equity," is a reader- friendly introduction to the world of private equity that draws on independent research and real-life examples to describe how private equity investments build better companies and strengthen retirement funds, endowments and foundations, which together represent the single largest group of private equity investors.

The white paper was posted today on the Private Equity Council's new web site at http://www.privateequitycouncil.org/. In addition to the "Public Value" report, the PEC web site offers access to a wide range of information about the contributions that private equity investment firms make to the national and global economies. The site includes fact sheets, position papers, press releases, backgrounders and links to other private equity-related web sites.

"Private equity has proven itself to be a powerful engine for creating economic value for investors, for retirees, for many workers and for institutional investors -- including universities and foundations that are better able to meet their educational and charitable objectives as a result of their private equity investments. Moreover, the role PE firms play in improving the performance of companies of all kinds in all sectors increases productivity and competitiveness," the report concludes.

Statistics cited in the "Public Value" report show that private equity firms returned $430 billion in profits to their limited partner investors between 1991 and 2006 and that private equity investments substantially outperformed the public equity markets during the 25-year period beginning in 1980. During that period, top-quartile private equity funds generated annualized returns to investors of 39.1 percent, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index posted average annual returns of 12.3 percent.

The report also cites research by Professor Josh Lerner of the Harvard Business School and Professor Jerry Cao of Boston University that concludes that companies that went public again after being acquired by private equity firms and operated by them for more than a year consistently outperformed the public equity markets and other IPOs.

"This report makes a compelling case that private equity firms play a critical role in creating real economic value for the companies they acquire, for the consumers those companies serve and for the pension funds, universities, charities and other institutions that invest in them," said Private Equity Council President Douglas Lowenstein. "We hope this report will make clear that private equity is neither a dark force nor a silver bullet, but instead an important tool for driving growth and investment in the American economy."

"Public Value" describes in detail how private equity investments work, how private equity firms generally return 80 percent of investment profits to their limited partners and how private equity firms build stronger companies. The paper uses the real-life examples of companies such as Dunkin' Brands, which owns Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, and SunGard, a major software developer and vendor, to make the point that private equity firms today rely on deep expertise, a performance culture, unique managerial capabilities and nimble ownership structures to drive performance improvements at the companies they acquire.

The report quotes Dunkin' Brands CEO Jon Luther's testimony before the House Financial Services Committee, in which he said, "The benefits of our new [private equity] ownership to our company have been enormous. Their financial expertise ... enabled us to make significant investments in our infrastructure and our growth initiatives ... They have opened to the door to opportunities that previously were beyond our reach."

The report is available in PDF format on the PEC web site, http://www.privateequitycouncil.org/. Hard copies can be obtained by contacting the PEC at 202.652.2330.
