Fijians Gaining Access To Internet

Telecentres Provide Internet Connectivity for Ordinary Fijians

SUVA, Fiji, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Approximately 60,000 Fijians will gain access to the internet for the first time as the Fijian Government opens "Telecentres" in schools across the country.

Each Telecentre offers schoolchildren and members of the surrounding community access to Dell and Lenovo computers connected to the Internet, web cameras, headsets, document scanners and printing services - free of charge.

The Attorney-General and Minister for Communications, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, said that the Telecentre project was one of Government's most important initiatives.

"Providing free Internet access to ordinary Fijians is one the best ways we can empower our people," he said. "It connects them to the world, offers them exciting new opportunities, and provides them access to important information."

The Telecentres will be used by school children during school hours and by the rest of the community after hours and on weekends.

This includes many ordinary villagers and farmers who have never had Internet access before.

The first Telecentres were launched by the Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama, in October 2011, at Suva Sangam College, Levuka Public School, and Rakiraki Public High School.

Recently, Telecentres were opened by the Prime Minister at Baulevu High School and Tailevu North College in the Central Division and by the Attorney-General at Nukuloa College in the Western Division.

Another five will open at locations around the country in the coming weeks, followed by ten more later in the year.

"20 Telecentres will be operational by this time next year," the Attorney-General said. "And we believe that at a direct result of this initiative, approximately 60,000 Fijians - including 5,000 students - will gain access to the Internet."

Members of these communities will be able to browse the Internet and use web chat services such as Skype to keep in touch with relatives and friends living in other parts of Fiji and overseas.

The local community will also have access to a range of other services.

Users will be able to scan documents so that they can be saved on a computer and sent over the Internet. Printing services will also be available.

The Minister said that this project was part of the Government's ongoing efforts to forge a smarter, better connected and more modern Fiji.

"As we continue to support the expansion of internet connectivity to more and more households in Fiji, Telecentres are a community-based solution that will hasten this process for Fijians living in rural and remote communities."

The Minister said that it was critical to balance long-term national polices with service delivery to individual Fijians.

"It is really a combination of a top-down and a bottom-up approach. While we work to develop our broadband capacity in order to spur economic development and create new opportunities for business, education, health, and finance, we are also working at the grassroots level - in individual schools and communities," the Minister added.

"It is only through such a balanced approach that we will be able to establish Fiji as the hub for telecommunications in the Pacific."

Huawei Applauds U.S. Executive Order Calling Enhanced Collaboration and Standards to Address Cybersecurity

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, welcomes President Obama's Executive Order to enhance the sharing of cyber threat information and the establishment of a cybersecurity framework incorporating industry standards to protect critical infrastructure.  These initiatives are in line with Huawei's focus on standard-setting as well as facilitated information sharing and collaboration among governments and the private sector internationally.

Specifically, Huawei supports U.S. policy designed to "enhance the security and resilience of the critical infrastructure," and to encourage "efficiency, innovation, and economic prosperity while promoting safety, security, business confidentiality, privacy, and civil liberties." As is reflected in the Executive Order, it is essential that governments and private companies work together to facilitate the sharing of timely and actionable cyber threat information, and collaborate to identify standards and best practices that can be assessed, measured, and improved.

"The effort in the U.S. will provide the public and private sector with a call to action for both enhanced information sharing and the development of standards to assist the critical infrastructure companies in protecting themselves. These efforts move beyond discourse and should result in concrete steps to tackle security issues," commented Huawei Global Security Officer John Suffolk. "The time has come to stop talking about the threat, stop talking about the challenges and begin to act, which is what this Executive Order represents."

General Dynamics' Next Generation Tactical Mobile Router Brings High Bandwidth Applications to the Battlefield

"Intelligent management" automatically adapts to network changes and maintains reliable connections, ensuring critical information is delivered when and where it's needed.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Canada has introduced its next-generation Tactical Mobile Router, the TMR 200, a compact, modular and flexible router that can be easily configured and integrated in a variety of platforms and wireless networks.  With the ability to handle high-bandwidth applications, it ensures reliable and secure communications even where wireless network infrastructures do not exist or when nodes are overloaded or off the network.  It is ideally suited for tactical environments where network and vehicle electronic architectures are becoming more complex with high-definition cameras and sophisticated sensors streaming gigabits of information.

"The TMR 200 has been designed from the ground up to enable defence and public safety personnel to quickly establish secure wireless networks and communicate critical situational awareness information through high-quality video and images," says David Ibbetson, general manager, General Dynamics Canada.  "It improves the safety and efficiency of deployed personnel and vehicles wherever they are by ensuring they always have the most relevant information at their fingertips."

Fix the Debt Launches "Debt Deniers" Initiative

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the Campaign to Fix the Debt - a nonpartisan coalition of business, government, and policy leaders and more than 360,000 citizens dedicated to urging federal lawmakers to forge a plan to solve our nation's debt problems - launched DebtDeniers.com a website that debunks the myths spun by "Debt Deniers."

A growing chorus of "Debt Deniers" has emerged in recent months. DebtDeniers.com will expose the most dangerous Deniers and counter their claims with facts and data. DebtDeniers.com also outlines the grim reality of what will happen if Washington chooses to ignore our ballooning national debt.

"In recent weeks, a small constituency of Debt Deniers has taken to the airwaves to wrongfully decry the urgency and importance of the nation's debt situation," said Jon Romano, Vice President of Communications for the Campaign to Fix the Debt. "Ignoring the debt and pretending it doesn't exist will not solve the nation's fiscal crisis. Many top economists agree: if we do not take major action to alter the trajectory of our debt now, future economic growth could be in serious jeopardy."

Visitors who support fiscal responsibility can contribute to the conversation by Tweeting the facts using the hashtag #DebtDeniers. The site also includes infographics that can be shared on social media.

The Campaign to Fix the Debt is a non-partisan movement asking lawmakers to work together on legislation large enough to stabilize and reduce the national debt as a share of the economy. Members come from a broad range of social, economic and political perspectives with the belief that America's growing debt burden threatens our future, and that we must address it now. The Campaign is mobilizing key communities - including leaders from business, government, and policy - and people all across America who want to see elected officials step up to solve our nation's fiscal challenges.

About the Real-Time Home Price Tracker
As a broker with access to dozens of Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) used by real estate agents to list properties and record sales, Redfin gets data within minutes of a sale, pending sale or listing activation, well before any government, media or analytics organization. Using MLS fields, Redfin is able to distinguish houses from condominiums and townhouses, which often sell for less money. To validate the accuracy of the data and to account for sales not handled by a real estate agent, Redfin compares MLS data with county records as they become available, using sophisticated algorithms to identify and resolve disparities about square footage or price for each address. Data at the local and neighborhood level are available in a spreadsheet, and the report methodology is available as an Adobe document.

Redfin (http://www.redfin.com) is a technology-powered real estate broker that represents people buying and selling homes. Founded and run by technologists, Redfin, has a team of experienced, full-service real estate agents who are advocates, not sales-people, earning customer-satisfaction bonuses, not commissions. Redfin's online tools feature all the broker-listed homes for sale, as well as for-sale-by-owner properties that don't pay brokers a commission. The company serves 21 U.S. markets, and has closed more than $8 billion in home sales.

New TopCoder Challenge: Create an iPad App to Help NASA Track Astronauts' Diets

Multi Phase Open Innovation Project with NASA Tournament Lab Seeks New Ideas and Functionality for Nutritional Biochemistry Lab

GLASTONBURY, Conn., Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TopCoder®, Inc., the world's largest open innovation platform and competitive community of digital creators, today launched the first two of a series of open innovation challenges to create a new dietary tracking application for use by astronauts in an International Space Station (ISS) -type environment. The ISS FIT (Food Intake Tracker) iPad App Conceptualization and Voice Command Idea Generation and other competitions are now open on the ISS FIT Challenge home page (TopCoder and TopCoder Studio registration required). These are the first two of multiple phases of the challenge which will build a fully functioning iPad application from concept to deployment using TopCoder's open innovation Community and process. The complete challenge series is sponsored by NASA through its NASA Tournament Lab (NTL), an online virtual facility that harnesses the capabilities of the TopCoder Community to create innovative, efficient solutions for specific, real-world challenges being faced by the space agency.

"We at TopCoder are delighted to be working on a new challenge with NASA and the ISS, following so closely behind the Longeron Challenge which was a highly specialized algorithmic contest," said Rob Hughes, President and COO of TopCoder, Inc. "This challenge will appeal to a broader set of digital creators and will span all areas of idea generation, prototype, develop and delivery through open innovation."

NASA's Nutritional Biochemistry Laboratory, in the Human Health and Performance Directorate at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, is seeking an open innovation solution on the iPad platform that monitors the dietary intake of crews during missions to prevent the possibility of crewmembers in an ISS-type environment not consuming enough calories and to prevent nutrient deficiencies and various health risks.

The benefits of using nutrition and dietary patterns as countermeasures to prevent negative conditions associated with spaceflight include the low risks for side effects, low costs, and minimal crew time required during flight. Research in other areas (for example, cardiovascular, muscle, bone, immunology, and radiation) has highlighted nutrition as integral to their success and indicated where additional efforts are required. These efforts will contribute to the safe human exploration of space.

The ISS FIT (Food Intake Tracker) iPad App challenge follows in quick succession to the recently completed Longeron Shadowing Optimization Challenge, a $30,000, open innovation competition to make the energy-gathering solar arrays of the International Space Station (ISS) more efficient by eliminating the shadows it casts upon itself at different points during orbit. More than 4,000 individuals registered for Longeron with 459 competitors producing 2,185 unique solutions in less than three weeks.

About NASA Tournament Lab

NASA and Harvard University have established the NASA Tournament Lab (NTL), which, with the enabling capabilities of the TopCoder community, allows for competitions to create the most innovative, most efficient, and most optimized solutions for specific, real-world challenges being faced by NASA researchers. The NTL provides an online virtual facility for NASA researchers with a computational or complex data processing challenge to "order" a solution, just like they would order laboratory tests or supplies. Learn more at the official NTL Website.

Digital Speaker Development Update

SYDNEY, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Audio Pixels Holdings Limited (ASX: AKP and OTCQX: ADPXY) is pleased to advise that it has completed its second phase of development, which included the playing of music on its newly designed chips and has therefore commenced the third and most prominent phase of the development plan - the fabrication of product samples.

The ongoing development efforts to commercialize our digital speaker technologies into a high demand product realized a major milestone; the successful completion of the second of our four-phase product commercialisation plan. The first two phases of the plan were designed to focus on the optimisation of the individual electromechanical structures. The positive results attained from Phase-II, have now enabled the company to shift focus from structural optimization to the production of a completed high performance end product.

The positive outcome was a result of our exceptionally close collaboration with our fabrication partners, which began delivering Phase-II chips during the month of December 2012. These chips were exhaustively measured and tested using our newly designed proprietary test equipment. Planning for Phase III is well advanced.

About Audio Pixels Holdings Limited

Audio Pixels Holdings Limited is a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange with the code AKP and has its ADR's listed on the OTCQX market in the USA with code ADPXY. Audio Pixels Holdings Limited owns 100% of Audio Pixels Limited, an unlisted Israeli corporation that was founded in July 2006 and has developed a revolutionary technological platform for reproducing sound, thus enabling the production of an entirely new generation of speakers that will exceed the performance specifications and design demands of the world's top consumer electronics manufacturers.

Audio Pixels patented technologies employ entirely new techniques to generate sound waves directly from a digital audio stream using low cost micro-electromechanical structures (MEMS) rather than conventional loudspeaker elements. This innovation enables the production of speaker products that deliver performance that is many orders of magnitude better than conventional speaker technologies, all in an affordable package that is only one millimetre thick.

Audio Pixels MEMS-based Digital Sound Reconstruction platform enables the market for audio speakers to follow the evolution of the video display market from large, heavy analog tube based monitors to the digital flat panel displays of today. Driving the rationale for change in audio speakers is the ever-increasing demand for smaller, thinner, clearer sounding, more power-efficient speakers. Conventional speaker technologies remain deeply rooted in the original voice coil inventions of Alexander Graham Bell. The inherent limitations of such speakers prohibit the delivery of quality sound in smaller packages. Audio Pixels innovative patents in the fields of electromechanical structures, pressure generation, acoustic wave generation and control, signal processing and packaging, combine to forever change this paradigm.

Market research overwhelmingly suggests that both manufacturers and consumers alike are starving for real innovation in audio speakers, in particular for good quality sound in a form factor that is far more compliant with current device and lifestyle trends. While the industry at large has been able to digitize and shrink all other device electronics, the last remaining barrier is the speaker, which remains large, heavy, bulky and extremely restrictive.

Upon achieving mass production capabilities Audio Pixels plans to sell and/or license its products to the manufacturers of speakers and consumer electronic devices worldwide, which collectively consume billions of speaker units annually. Audio Pixels will produce and sell a single type of silicon chip that can be used either as a standalone speaker or cascaded in any multiples of the same chip in order to achieve the desired performance specifications. This modular paradigm is entirely unique to the audio industry, which today expends significant resources designing and specifying new drivers, acoustic chambers and drive electronics for each new device. Audio Pixels innovative approach not only facilitates maximum flexibility to its customers, it further enables the customer to calibrate on the design and production of a singular product model, maximizing economies of scale, while limiting overhead associated with multiple versions of products.

Management maintains active exchange with industry leading companies spanning a broad cross section of the MEMS and consumer electronic industries. Audio Pixels has already demonstrated the technology to potential customers and strategic partners.

Taxpayers, Businesses, and Economy Will Suffer Under New Internet Sales Tax Bill, Citizen Group Warns

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Valentine's Day couldn't be a worse occasion for Members of Congress to jilt consumers, businesses, and the U.S. Constitution, but they are trying anyway by introducing problematic Internet tax collection legislation - that's the assessment of the 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU), which announced its continued, strong opposition to the so-called "Marketplace Fairness Act" (MFA). The bills have been introduced in the Senate by Sens. Enzi (R-WY) and Durbin (D-IL) and on the House side by Reps. Womack (R-AR) and Speier (D-CA).

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101022/NTULOGO)

"The Internet tax collection bill reads like a love letter to overzealous state revenue collectors, not like a piece of legislation designed to address 'tax fairness,'" said NTU Executive Vice President Pete Sepp. "Despite some tweaks to the version introduced in the previous Congress, the latest proposal will also undermine tax competition among the states, tilt the commercial playing field in favor of big-box stores, and upend the constitutionally based doctrine of physical presence that has shielded sellers and buyers from out-of-state tax collectors reaching into their pockets."

NTU has long opposed MFA-style legislation, and today launched a new effort to raise awareness of myths and facts surrounding the issues at stake. Besides the concerns Sepp outlined, he also noted:

    --  Sophisticated software won't completely erase compliance costs and
        burdens associated with nearly 10,000 taxing jurisdictions around the
        nation; it hasn't done so with the federal income tax system, which NTU
        estimates as costing individuals and businesses nearly $230 billion in
        2012.
    --  Internet-based retailers already pay numerous taxes on profits and
        property, while customers pay taxes associated with shipping. MFA would
        let states force online sellers to query customers about where they live
        to remit proper sales taxes - something traditional retailers wouldn't
        do. The bill's "small seller" exception remains paltry by comparison to
        other government definitions of a small business.
    --  The U.S. Supreme Court's Quill ruling has prevented state tax collectors
        from aggressively reaching across their borders, but MFA would overturn
        this important protection against abuse of power. The bill's attempt to
        carve out a sales-tax only exception to this ruling likely won't survive
        long. After the precedent to collect one kind of tax this way is
        established, administrators will likely clamor for the same authority
        over other taxes.
    --  The bill gives states wide latitude to define taxable "nexus," including
        its controversial extension to online advertising affiliates. Even
        states choosing not to participate in MFA's framework would have new
        powers.
Sepp contended that if Congress wants a constructive role in this tax policy debate, it should consider the grave consequences of MFA as well as examine other options. Origin-based sourcing, for example, would have all retailers - online or brick-and-mortar - remit sales taxes only to the jurisdiction in which they are located. This would have the advantages of preventing extraterritorial taxation as well as preserving tax competition among states and localities.

"If taxpayers and small businesses could send Congress a message this day about the Marketplace Fairness Act, it would probably take the shape of a giant candy conversation heart with the words 'No Way' stamped on it," Sepp concluded. "Lawmakers who want to be true to their taxpaying constituents should avoid rushing into this legislation and instead call for hearings that can finally explore more rational alternatives."

NTU is a nonpartisan citizen organization founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes and limited government. The group was among the first to support the federal Internet Access Tax Moratorium and oppose the states' Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement.

Website Dedicated To Sufferers Of Most Common Form Of Eye Cancer

MyUvealMelanoma.com raises awareness of disease and the importance of prognostic testing

HOUSTON, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Castle Biosciences Inc., a leading developer of prognostic tests for rare cancers, announced today the launch of MyUvealMelanoma.com, a website created to educate newly diagnosed patients, their families and healthcare providers about the most common form of eye cancer. MyUvealMelanoma tells the story of this disease, its treatment and the importance of prognostic testing, through the experience of patients who recently faced this devastating diagnosis first-hand. The site can be found at http://www.myuvealmelanoma.com.

As with many cancer diagnoses, one of the most urgent questions for doctors and patients is whether the disease has spread, or metastasized, to other parts of the body. This is especially critical with uveal melanoma since approximately half of these patients' eye cancer will ultimately spread to the liver, a development that is usually fatal. MyUvealMelanoma.com provides details on treating the primary eye tumor, and on predictive genomic testing to identify high-risk patients whose cancer is likely to spread in subsequent years.

The gene-expression profile test predicts a patient's metastatic risk by analyzing their eye tumor's molecular signature. The test, called DecisionDx-UM, was discovered in the early 2000s by Dr. J. William Harbour, a pioneering ocular oncologist and retina surgeon, and has since become standard of care in the management of eye cancer for the majority of ocular oncology practices.

Peter Leeflang, one of the patients featured on MyUvealMelanoma.com, spoke about the importance of knowing his risk of metastasis. "Even if it was a worst case scenario, I wanted to know so I could get my life in order. For me, knowing my risk counted big time. It sits in one's mind all the time if you don't know." Peter was diagnosed with uveal melanoma in early 2012 and said he was relieved to learn through gene expression testing that his tumor type is less likely to metastasize.

"Since only about 2-4% of patients have detectable metastatic disease at the time their primary uveal melanoma tumor is diagnosed, it is vitally important to have an accurate prognostic tool that identifies patients at high risk of the cancer spreading," said Dr. Harbour, Professor of Ophthalmology, Vice Chairman for Translational Research and Director of the Ocular Oncology Service at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. "Understanding one's individual risk helps guide further monitoring and treatment plans."

MyUvealMelanoma.com carries the urgent message for newly diagnosed patients that testing must be performed prior to radiation treatment - the most common form of treatment for the primary eye tumor. Doctors planning to test usually take a small sample of the tumor just prior to removing it surgically and treating the area with radiation.   

"The most critical moment for any cancer patient is at the time of diagnosis," said Derek Maetzold, CEO of Castle Biosciences. "In the case of uveal melanoma, testing needs to be performed prior to eye treatment to determine whether the tumor type is likely to have spread beyond the eye.

"Our goal with MyUvealMelanoma.com is to inform newly diagnosed patients and their families of everything they need to know about their disease, including the availability of prognostic testing so that, with the help of their doctor, they can determine the best and most appropriate follow-up care."

About Uveal Melanoma 
Although it is rare, and its cause not well understood, uveal melanoma is the most common form of eye cancer in the United States, with about 2,000 diagnoses per year. This form of eye cancer, sometimes referred to as ocular melanoma, may occur in any of the three parts of the uvea. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as choroidal, ciliary body, or iris melanoma based upon its exact location. The choroid is the most common place for a tumor to develop.

Similar to other melanomas, uveal melanoma begins in cells called melanocytes that help produce the pigments of the skin, hair, and eyes. While most patients are middle-aged with fair skin, uveal melanoma can and has affected people of all complexions and ages. Treatments for the primary uveal melanoma tumors are highly effective, however, there is currently no cure for metastatic disease.

About DecisionDx-UM 
The DecisionDx-UM test measures the gene expression profile (GEP), or molecular signature, of an individual's tumor and identifies with high accuracy the likelihood of metastasis. The test requires a sample of the patient's tumor that is obtained prior to radiation surgery, the most common therapy used in the treatment of uveal melanoma. 

The DecisionDx-UM test is standard of care in the management of uveal melanoma in the majority of ocular oncology practices (100 of the estimated 110 practices as of February, 2012). Furthermore, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) recommends the DecisionDx-UM GEP test for its "clinically significant" impact on patient care (AJCC, version 7, 2010). The AJCC is the only national organization that reviews uveal melanoma. The test has been validated in multiple prospective and retrospective studies.

About Castle Biosciences Inc. 
Castle Biosciences is a cancer-based molecular diagnostics company whose mission is to serve individuals afflicted with rare or orphan cancers and those who care for them. The Company has commercially available tests for use in eye cancer (uveal melanoma), thymoma, brain cancer (glioblastoma and lower-grade gliomas), and esophageal adenocarcinoma. The Company's tests can only be ordered by a licensed physician. More information about the Company can be found at http://www.castlebiosciences.com.

America's Leading Retailers Back Marketplace Fairness Act

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) applauded reintroduction of federal legislation introduced today that closes the decades-old loophole that gives special treatment to online-only retailers. In a letter to Senate and House sponsors of the Marketplace Fairness Act, RILA Executive Vice President for Public Affairs Katherine Lugar, highlighted the need for a level playing field.

"The retail industry has always been fiercely competitive with merchants competing every day for consumer dollars based on price, value, services and other factors.  But today, Main Street merchants compete on a playing field that has been skewed against them due to a loophole that allows online-only retailers to evade collecting state sales taxes. This practice has given these sellers a perceived price advantage of up to ten percent, a competitive edge that results in government policy picking winners and losers in the free market."

Encouraging lawmakers to act in 2013 on this important priority for the retail industry, Lugar touted the legislation's broad bipartisan appeal and its importance to local communities. 

"This state's rights approach has the blessing of governors and state legislators throughout the country, in addition to the Main Street merchants who invest locally by hiring employees, paying property taxes and contributing to their communities."

Zinwave DAS Technology Facilitates in-Building Wireless Coverage for 4G Services

SAN FRANCISCO, February 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Building owners and carriers in the USA choose Zinwave DAS because of its frequency
support capabilities and future-proof advantages

    Zinwave Ltd, a global provider of DAS (distributed antenna system) technology for
in-building wireless coverage, is facilitating wireless operators in the US with the
rollout of advanced wireless services (AWS) over LTE (long term evolution) networks.

    Recent installations to facilitate LTE include the Pepsi Center Arena, a multipurpose
sports venue in Denver, Colorado, the Constitution Center, the largest privately owned
office building in Washington DC, and the J.W Marriott Hotel, a 10-storey hotel complex in
San Antonio, Texas.

    Zinwave's in-building DAS (the system 3000) has been chosen as the preferred solution
for these installations because of its ability to support frequency bands allocated to 4G
services (700MHz, 850MHz, 1,900 MHz, 2,100 MHz) as well as all conventional cellular
frequencies (2G, 3G and CDMA) on a single hardware layer. Zinwave's DAS also has the
ability to support public safety and Wi-Fi or WiMAX services.

    System 3000 is unique as it is the only true wideband active Distributed Antenna
System on the market, supporting multiple services across all frequencies between 150MHz
and 2700MHz, making it completely future-proof.

    Wireless operators began rolling out 4G networks to the larger metropolitan areas
2011. Data download speeds can be ten times faster than those over conventional 3G
networks.

    The US cellular market is the third largest globally and according to comScore. Over
230 million Americans aged 14 plus have a cell phone contract and 50% of these are
Smartphone contracts. Carriers are under pressure to complete their LTE rollouts to keep
up with consumer demand for Smartphone technology and associated expectations for
high-speed wireless services. Verizon expects to complete its LTE rollout by the middle of
this year.

    Says Laddy Fleming, EVP, Worldwide Sales: "Around a third of US households are
wireless and people expect instant access to the internet via their cell irrespective of
location. Operators must therefore have the capacity and managed infrastructure to support

MobileIron Launches Web@Work Mobile Enterprise Browser

Extends Mobile Security to HTML5 Apps and Web Content

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MobileIron, the leader in security and management for mobile apps, documents, and devices, today announced the availability of Web@Work, its secure mobile browser for the enterprise. MobileIron Web@Work extends MobileIron's market-leading security and management platform for native mobile apps to web content and web apps, including those based on HTML5. Web@Work secures web data while preserving a native web-browsing experience.

Mobile devices are now mainstream business tools and users expect to be able to access web resources wherever they are. Therefore, Mobile IT needs to deliver simple, highly usable mobile access to all web content and web apps. However, historically, enterprise browsers have focused on security at the expense of usability. Web@Work breaks this compromise by providing enterprise-grade security for web data-at-rest and data-in-motion and also delivering a consumer-grade user experience.

MobileIron Web@Work secures data-at-rest through the containerization of local web data and enforcement of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls. Web@Work secures data-in-motion through identity-based tunneling and access control. For end users, Web@Work delivers an experience like the native browser that accurately renders pages just as the user would expect.

"Users don't think about whether the web content and apps they need are inside or outside of the firewall. They just know they need them to do their jobs," said Ojas Rege, VP Strategy, MobileIron. "Through MobileIron Web@Work, every authorized user can now get to both legacy web resources as well as new HTML 5 apps optimized for mobile use. By providing enterprise-grade security on the back-end and a native user experience on the front-end, MobileIron® Web@Work is the only solution that fully addresses both the IT and end-user requirements for mobile web access to company data."

Capital BlueCross, Good Measures team up to Offer app\web program that leads to healthier living

Capital Blue store holding community seminars to demonstrate capability

HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone looking for an easy way to track and tailor their lifestyle habits to meet their personal health goals needs to look no further than the Capital Blue retail store at the Promenade Shops in Saucon Valley. That is where Capital BlueCross and Good Measures are hosting a series of one-hour seminars on how to download, set-up and use the Good Measures contextual nutrition and lifestyle program.

Contextual nutrition is an approach that takes into account an individual's personal preferences, dietary needs and nutritional goals. After establishing their personal profile, program participants input and track their nutritional intake and daily exercise. The Good Measures program then makes suggestions for better food choices, healthy snacks and increased activity to help users meet personal health goals.

The Good Measures program can be conveniently downloaded to an iPhone and is also accessible through the web. It provides personalized feedback in the form of a Good Measures index, a single number from one to 100.  An index closer to 100 means a person is meeting more of their nutritional goals.

"The Good Measures program is essentially a personal health coach, working with each individual every day to help them meet their nutritional and fitness goals," said Jenn Natalie, assistant director, Capital Blue. "We are excited to offer seminars conducted by Good Measures team members to personally show how this life-changing program works."

"We are excited to be working with the team at Capital Blue to bring Good Measures and the Good Measures Index to the Saucon Valley.  The Capital Blue retail store offers a terrific setting for helping people to get started with this contextual approach to eating, exercise and weight management," said Stefany Shaheen, Good Measures chief operating officer.

The Good Measures seminars will be held:

                                   Feb. 18, Noon-1 p.m. and 1-2 p.m.
                                   March 4, 5-6 p.m. and 6-7 p.m.
