Block said it agreed to pay $287.5 million for the developer of TaxACT, which more than 5 million tax filers used last season.

TaxACT’s management team led by Lance Dunn will lead a combined digital tax business that would offer both the TaxACT and H&R Block At Home brands.

In the deal, Block will pay cash for 2SS Holdings Inc., a Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based company with 70 employees. It’s TaxACT brand offers online, desktop download and professional software tax preparation services.

“This transaction is a significant step for H&R Block in a segment that is strategically important. This will provide us with innovative growth-oriented leadership to accelerate our digital tax offerings and results,” Block CEO Alan Bennett said in the announcement.

Block’s management has targeted its loss of tax customers and particularly its weak showing in the digital tax market.

At the company's shareholders meeting two weeks ago, Bennett said Block's online product would get an upgrade because it was complicated and difficult to navigate.

Management will discuss the TaxACT deal during a conference call at 8 a.m. Thursday. To listen, call 877-247-6355 and use conference number 10673363.

The announcement said the deal would boost Block’s earnings per share by 5 cents, assuming the purchase is completed by the end of December.

 

With global demand on the rise for greener appliances and industrial equipment, manufacturers are seeking ways to enhance energy efficiency while reducing system costs. To address these needs, Freescale has expanded its family of digital signal controllers (DSCs) that offers increased performance, a flexible set of peripherals with reduced system costs for industrial applications. The MC56F82xx family is especially useful for digital power conversion applications such as board-mounted digital power supplies for servers, industrial and telecom power supplies and advanced motor control.

The advanced MC56F82xx family is a member of the 56800E core based family of DSCs. It combines the functionality of a microcontroller (MCU) and the processing power of a digital signal processor (DSP) with a wide set of peripherals including a high speed pulse width modulator with NanoEdge placement as well as two ultra-fast analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to create an extremely cost-effective, powerful and versatile embedded control solution. The MC56F82xx devices are among the fastest DSCs with embedded Flash in Freescale’s portfolio and one of the most cost-effective DSC offerings on the market.

“Developers are seeking technologies to enhance the cost effectiveness and energy efficiency of power conversion and motor control applications such as solar inverters, white goods appliances, hybrid automotive batteries and LED lighting,” said Aiden Mitchell, director of Industrial and Multi-market MCUs for Freescale. “The MC56F82xx family’s combination of price/performance, peripherals and energy efficiency allows designers to convert to digital control in order to set the pace for application innovation.”

The MC56F82xx includes up to nine enhanced flex pulse width modulation (PWM) channels, including six with NanoEdge placement, helping to enhance power conversion, functionality and accuracy. The on-chip ADCs can achieve up to 3.33 million samples per second, helping to reduce signal ripple to precisely modulate energy. The devices include an inter-modular crossbar switch that allows programmable, internal module connections between and among the peripherals and package pins.

Up to four times more energy-efficient than other available DSC offerings, the MC56F82xx devices are designed to operate at 60 MHz and up to 3.6V. The DSCs provide an array of cost-saving features that help eliminate the need for external components, reducing overall bill of material costs.

Easy to use, fast time to market

To ease the development process, Freescale offers a comprehensive ecosystem of software tools, demonstration boards, reference designs, application notes and webinars. CodeWarrior Development Studio 8.3 for DSCs enables designers to build and deploy sophisticated DSC systems quickly and easily. Freescale also provides the Processor Expert rapid application design tool to enable quick generation of peripheral drivers and software libraries. The Freescale Tower rapid prototyping system completes the offering by providing nearly unlimited, quick prototyping capabilities, potentially eliminating months of development time. This one-stop-shop solution delivers outstanding flexibility and value for designers of industrial and consumer end products while drastically reducing development costs and time-to-market. The 56F82xx is also supported by FreeMASTER software, a sophisticated tool with intuitive navigation that allows control of an application remotely from a user-friendly graphical environment running on a PC and provides the ability to view real-time application variables in both textual and graphical form.

BECKLEY - Every October awareness breast cancer comes to the forefront, but also a month

to call attention to domestic violence.
As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, students at Concordia University and

people from the Beckley Correctional Center helped the Women's Resource Center to tie

ribbons and violet blue light in the trees and lights Street in downtown Beckley. Purple

ribbons symbolize domestic violence awareness, while the blue ribbons mean sexual

assault awareness.
Women's Resource Center Rauma Amanda victim advocate, said the tapes used to be a

reminder of domestic violence remains a problem.
"We just want to put in your mind that domestic violence in our community and indeed to

create awareness on the issue of domestic violence, and to honor the victims that we had

this year that lost their lives due to violence home "which, he said.
The project of the tape to tie would be difficult without the help of volunteers from

the center.
"Violence at Concordia University in the class of the United States has been teaming up

with us over the past two semesters I've had the class," said Rauma. "They have a really

good effort to raise money for us and they are responsible to go out and put the tapes

up, and that were responsible for the creation of the cabin in Chile the night, too."
