New Tooway(TM) Packages from Eutelsat Offer Consumers Europe's Fastest Satellite Broadband Speeds, Unlimited Data Download and Lower Pricing

PARIS, January 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) today announced a new range of
Tooway(TM) packages delivering the fastest satellite-based consumer broadband speeds in
Europe, unlimited data download usage day and night and more competitive pricing. Designed
to offer high speed broadband to everyone today, these next generation Tooway(TM) services
will satisfy even the most demanding Internet users - further closing the digital divide
for consumers.

    The new packages will ensure that whatever their location, digitally deprived homes
and home-workers in the EU can instantly access the benefits of high speed broadband,
including for applications such as film downloads, heavy file uploads and video chat that
are now standard user expectations. Up to 30 million homes in the footprint of the KA-SAT
satellite, that delivers Tooway(TM), are still waiting for quality broadband connectivity.

    The new packages, called Tooway(TM) S, M, L and XL, will initially be available
through service providers in France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the UK from February, and
will offer across the board download speeds of up to 20 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 6
Mbps (excepting entry level service), making it the fastest consumer satellite broadband
service in Europe. The packages will be rolled-out to other European countries in the
coming months. The service operates with a small (77cm) easy-to-install satellite dish and
modem and is delivered by KA-SAT, Europe's most powerful satellite.

    To address growing demand for increased data allowances for video and multimedia
services, Eutelsat is also introducing a true unlimited data service, called Tooway(TM)
Absolute, for the first 20,000 customers across Europe. Customers subscribing to the L and
XL service will also be entitled to uncapped data usage overnight, allowing video and
large files to be downloaded without impacting daytime data allowances. Eutelsat is also
introducing for service providers a recommended monthly rental fee for the dish and modem
to simplify access to Tooway(TM).

    Jean-Francois Fenech, General Manager of Eutelsat's Broadband Business Unit, said:
"These new Tooway(TM) packages are another huge step forward in making universal high
speed broadband an immediate reality for Europe. The fastest speeds and most generous data
packages at the best competitive rates can be delivered in a matter of days, regardless of
location. The outlook for consumers in Europe's most digitally deprived areas just got
much brighter."

    Eutelsat's portfolio of Tooway(TM) services provides consumers and home-office workers
with an always-on Internet service, which is triple-play ready with full compatibility for
Direct to Home (DTH) television services and Voice over IP solutions.

    Eutelsat's KA-SAT, with a total capacity of 90 Gbps, is transforming the market for
satellite- delivered broadband services. The satellite forms the cornerstone of a
state-of-the-art communications infrastructure which includes a sophisticated on-ground
network of eight main gateways across Europe that are connected to the Internet by a fibre
backbone ring.

MobiCloud Project to Develop a European Corporate Appstore

STOCKHOLM and BRUSSELS, January 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

         European Consortium Receives EU Funding Contract to Develop Mobile Workforce

                                Applications in the Cloud

    The MobiCloud consortium announced today that it has successfully finalized
negotiations with the European Commission Directorate-General of Communications Networks,
Content and Technology (DG CONNECT). The MobiCloud project will be co-funded under the ICT
Policy Support Programme (PSP) Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP)
with a total budget of EUR4.45M.

    The MobiCloud consortium is led by Appear (Sweden) and includes Nettropolis (Germany),
EsperantoXL (the Netherlands), Costain (UK) and COMIT Projects (UK). The aim of the
project is to stimulate the provision of new mobile services in the cloud and to support
the emergence of a European ecosystem of mobile cloud application developers.

    The reduction in the cost and complexity of mobile application development using cloud
technologies is a strategic objective
[http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/cloudcomputing/index_en.htm ] of the
European Commission. With MobiCloud it will become feasible for smaller companies, and not
only global ERP vendors, to quickly develop and market mobile extensions of their existing
business applications. The Commission therefore aims at enabling and facilitating faster
adoption of cloud computing throughout all sectors of the economy which can cut ICT costs,
and when combined with new digital business practices, can boost productivity, growth and
jobs.

    The MobiCloud project delivers four showcase implementations addressing different
industrial applications (city transit, rail operations, interim staff management and
construction) where end-users equipped with smartphones or tablets can access a portfolio
of services stored in the cloud. MobiCloud provides a composite screen (mobile mash-up)
that aggregates data from various corporate IT systems. Depending on context (location,
role, skillset, available colleagues, etc.), the application displays different services
which react in real-time to changes (work orders, fault reports, alerts).

    Analyst firm Gartner summarizes the challenges of enterprise application development
in its recent Hype Cycle for Application Development, which featured Appear (MobiCloud
project coordinator) as a selected vendor: "Many factors, including advances in cloud,
mobile, information and social technologies, change how applications can be built and the
value they can deliver to the enterprise. To keep their enterprises competitive,
application development leaders must continuously embrace new technologies and
disciplines."

    Enterprises wishing to join the MobiCloud ecosystem are encouraged to sign-up for the
early adopter program where they will gain access to a MobiCloud testbed to run their own
trial projects: info@mobicloudproject.eu

Facebook App From Business Competence To Go Head To Head With Facebook's 'Nearby'

Facebook applications are often provided by small developers around the world, and this is the richest resource of Facebook. Now it is the turn of Business Competence, a small and virtuous Italian company that have developed Facearound, the new Facebook app.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Currently Facebook is the most famous and used social-network in the world. Solidly on top of the social media pyramid, the Zuckerberg's creature is not only a virtual home for billions of people, but also the perfect test bench for many developers who implement on Facebook their own projects. This is, without a doubt, Facearound's case.

Facearound is a Facebook App.

Created by the Italian IT company Business Competence, Facearound landed on the social network in September 2012 with brilliant results (number 1 download in the "Social" category on Apple Store and more than 75,000 fans on Facebook, just to name a few).

Facearound, as an inner app, moves through Facebook's users and their friends lists, and produces a well-detailed map of the "places of interests" nearby.

"Nearby", instead, is the Facebook own creature landed on the social-network just a few weeks ago (December 2012) that basically works just in the same way - except for the original dealing/couponing system that characterizes Facearound.

In fact, as said by Pierguido Iezzi (Facearound founder) "Some of the characteristics of Facearound remain unique, such as its dealing/couponing integrated system that does not require intermediation fees".

As per usual, Facebook's biggest value is given by the multitude of projects and apps created by single developers and software houses from all over the world.

"There is a fact we must reckon with," Iezzi explains. "The most popular social-network in the world needs continuous development of new services in order to keep growing. Since the very beginning, Facebook has always appreciated the added value given by the developers, and sometimes Italian creativity and know-how place themselves ahead of entrepreneurial giants".

Extremely meritocratic, Zuckerberg's platform gives attention to each good idea - it doesn't matter if it comes from a student locked into his own room or from a well-known company.

The game is open now between Facebook and Business Competence, the company behind Facearound: a giant on one side, and the small Italian company on the other side, but it is well known that communication is not only the bedrock of social media, but also the foundation of any good idea and cooperation.

Fujitsu To Showcase Next Generation ScanSnap iX500 Desktop Scanner With "PC-Less" Scanning to Mobile Functionality at Macworld 2013

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today announced it will showcase the newest addition to its award-winning ScanSnap product lineup - the next generation ScanSnap iX500 featuring built-in Wi-Fi connectivity giving customers the ability to scan directly to their iOS compatible devices(1), at the Macworld/iWorld Conference and Expo, January 31-February 2 in San Francisco. Fujitsu will be giving live demonstrations of the ScanSnap iX500, with partners Evernote and Mariner Software showcasing their integrated solutions, at booth #610.

The new ScanSnap iX500 is enhanced with faster scanning speeds, a new advanced feeding system, an intelligent and customizable Quick Menu, and functionality allowing users to easily scan to cloud-based services such as Evernote, Google Docs(TM), Dropbox, SugarSync and Salesforce. The ScanSnap iX500 also comes equipped with a revolutionary "GI" image processor(2) inside the scanner so users can instantly scan and transmit PDF or JPEG files, to their mobile devices without the use of a computer.

Utilizing the free "ScanSnap Connect" app on their mobile device or tablet, ScanSnap users achieve a whole new level of convenience in scanning; literally from the palm of their hand. The "ScanSnap Connect" app can be downloaded in the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store and can be used with both the iPad and iPhone running iOS 4.3 or later and Android compatible tablets and smartphones running OS 2.2(3).

Enhanced with USB 3.0 connectivity, the ScanSnap iX500 provides the same easy-to-use one-button scanning and advanced imaging technology that customers have come to expect with ScanSnap. Additional new and innovative features of the ScanSnap iX500 include:

    --  Faster Scanning Performance: Utilizing the increased power of its engine
        and "GI" image processor, the iX500 can create PDF files at speeds of up
        to 25 double-sided color pages per minute (300dpi, color) -- that's 25
        percent faster than its predecessor.
    --  Advanced Document Feeding System: Inheriting the superior paper feeding
        technology driving the higher-end scanners from Fujitsu, the iX500
        achieves exceptional feeding reliability using enhanced "Separation
        Roller" technology to maximize feeding reliability across an even wider
        range of documents and scanning situations.
    --  Customizable Quick Menu: For additional convenience and flexibility, the
        ScanSnap Quick Menu is fully customizable and automatically appears
        after scanning providing a quick and easy way to send those scanned
        documents to several popular "Scan-To" applications. Furthermore, the
        Quick Menu incorporates new intelligence that anticipates the
        appropriate application while keeping users in the driver's seat for
        easy and faithful disposition of content.
    --  Cloud Services Support: Users can scan documents directly to Evernote,
        Google Docs, Dropbox, SugarSync and Salesforce Chatter from their Mac or
        PC, giving them even more flexibility to store, share and access their
        paperwork. Whether it is scanning contracts, bills, invoices, or
        business cards on the road or using a PC in one place and a Mac in
        another, consumers have the necessary tools to be even more productive
        and paperless virtually anywhere.
    --  Efficient Business Card Scanning: Mac users can conveniently scan their
        business cards and export the contact information directly to Address
        Book or Outlook for Mac. While PC users can capture a business card,
        extract the information automatically and export it to Outlook, Excel®,
        Salesforce and other contact management software.

IGN Launches Original Action-Thriller Series, Project S.E.R.A., On Its START YouTube Channel

New Zombie Action-Thriller "Project S.E.R.A." Based on Short Film by Benjamin Howdeshell Stars Julia Voth (Bitch Slap) and Derek Theler (Baby Daddy)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IGN, the world's leading video games media outlet, today announces the debut of Project S.E.R.A., a new zombie action-thriller digital series, on its START YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/start). 

Based on the original short film by Benjamin Howdeshell, the series stars Julia Voth (Bitch Slap), who returns in her role from the short as ass-kicking heroine Gillian Eames and teams up with Derek Theler (Baby Daddy) as Lt Riggins.  It follows Eames and Riggins as they race against the clock to stop the black market sale of a highly volatile biological agent that was originally designed by the military to expedite the recovery of soldiers wounded on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

"I'm fascinated by characters that have to do the unthinkable and still find their way back.  Gillian Eames is a highly complex character and Julia Voth truly brings her to life," said Howdeshell.

IGN's Grant Thompson, executive producer on the series, said: "Project S.E.R.A. takes what's typically expected of a web series and blows that expectation out of the water.  This series looks and feels like a studio feature film, and we can't wait to bring that level of quality to the IGN and START audience."

The Project S.E.R.A. series is written by Nathan Miller and Bill Kirchen, produced by Shawn Wallace (The Prototype) and executive produced by IGN's Bernard Ho and Grant Thompson.  Series creator and director, Howdeshell, credits his state of the art shooting style and effects background to working on many action-packed feature films as a First Assistant Editor.

Project S.E.R.A.'s first three episodes debut today, with new episodes airing Wednesdays at noon PST.

Digital Realty Unveils Next-Generation Data Center Architecture

POD 3.0 Drives Higher Capacity and Energy Performance

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center solutions, has unveiled the next generation of its POD Architecture® - the unique methodology the Company uses to design and build its Turn-Key Flex(SM) solution using a modular approach that speeds delivery, advances energy efficiency, maximizes reliability and lowers costs for its customers. POD 3.0 advances the modular approach to data center design by increasing the critical IT load delivered from the current 1,125 kW to 1,200 kW while reducing the number of components necessary for the additional capacity.   The enhanced and simplified design reflects Digital Realty's focus on providing customers with flexible data center solutions that meet their exact needs and requirements.

"This new generation of POD Architecture will enable us to do more in terms of capacity and energy performance, using the same operating scale that we successfully deployed as POD 2.0," said Jim Smith, chief technology officer at Digital Realty. "The size and scope of our global platform provides us with access to a high volume of operating data that we believe is unmatched in the data center industry. Using real-time information, we have been able to fine-tune our design and develop the next generation of our POD Architecture. We were able to demand more from the existing platform and deliver an enhanced solution to our customers in terms of performance, reliability and cost efficiency."

The centerpiece of Digital Realty's POD Architecture is the pre-fabrication and inventorying of major electrical and mechanical systems that traditionally stand in the time-sensitive path of data center construction projects. Pre-fabricated components are manufactured in a factory environment and then warehoused for on-time delivery to project sites, improving quality and accelerating time to market. The cooling and electrical systems are pre-commissioned in the factory and then re-commissioned along with the completed data center.

"Our approach to modular data centers is not about producing pre-fab data centers or containerized solutions.  Utilizing POD Architecture, we delivered over 49 megawatts of Turn-Key Flex data center capacity in 2012, and expect to deliver an additional 89 megawatts of Turn-Key Flex capacity in 2013," added Mr. Smith. "By pre-assembling electrical and mechanical room components, while retaining the flexibility that customers require of a customized data center, POD 3.0 once again puts Digital Realty customers at the forefront of data center development innovation."

POD Architecture 3.0 represents an improved, simplified arrangement of components that serves as the foundation of the Company's Turn-Key Flex solution. Core to the enhancement is an increase in critical IT load capacity to 1,200 kW from 1,125 kW at the same cost point achieved with POD 2.0, using only two electrical skids versus the previous design's three skids. The reduction of the infrastructure footprint will help improve the yield on building space for data centers. POD 3.0 will also produce data centers that feature higher energy efficiency (such as PUE ratings below 1.2).

About Digital Realty

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. focuses on delivering customer driven data center solutions by providing secure, reliable and cost effective facilities that meet each customer's unique data center needs. Digital Realty's customers include domestic and international companies across multiple industry verticals ranging from information technology and Internet enterprises, to manufacturing and financial services. Digital Realty's 110 properties, excluding three properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, comprise approximately 21.2 million square feet as of October 26, 2012, including 2.2 million square feet of space held for redevelopment. Digital Realty's portfolio is located in 32 markets throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Additional information about Digital Realty is included in the Company Overview, which is available on the Investors page of Digital Realty's website at http://www.digitalrealty.com.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially, including statements related to POD Architecture 3.0, or POD 3.0, expected improvements in capacity, time to delivery, energy efficiency (such as PUE ratings), reliability, costs and yield on building space from POD 3.0, and expected MWs to be delivered in 2013. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the following: the impact of the recent deterioration in global economic, credit and market conditions, including the downgrade of the U.S. government's credit rating; current local economic conditions in our geographic markets; decreases in information technology spending, including as a result of economic slowdowns or recession; adverse economic or real estate developments in our industry or the industry sectors that we sell to (including risks relating to decreasing real estate valuations and impairment charges); our dependence upon significant tenants; bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or a significant number of smaller tenants; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; our failure to obtain necessary debt and equity financing; increased interest rates and operating costs; risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks, our failure to repay debt when due, adverse changes in our credit ratings or our breach of covenants or other terms contained in our loan facilities and agreements; financial market fluctuations; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; our inability to manage our growth effectively; difficulty acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions; our failure to successfully integrate and operate acquired or redeveloped properties or businesses; risks related to joint venture investments, including as a result of our lack of control of such investments; delays or unexpected costs in development or redevelopment of properties; decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; increased competition or available supply of data center space; our inability to successfully develop and lease new properties and space held for redevelopment; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; our inability to acquire off-market properties; our inability to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies; our failure to maintain our status as a REIT; possible adverse changes to tax laws; restrictions on our ability to engage in certain business activities; environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; losses in excess of our insurance coverage; changes in foreign laws and regulations, including those related to taxation and real estate ownership and operation; and changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements, including changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.  For a further list and description of such risks and uncertainties, see the reports and other filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012.  The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Roaring Penguin Software releases CanIt 9.0.1

New features include: Compound Rules, Archiving Rules, Aliases,
Continuity and Rate Limiting Improvements

OTTAWA, Jan. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Roaring Penguin Software Inc., the email
filtering experts, makers of the acclaimed CanIt-PRO, CanIt-Domain-PRO,
CanIt Archiver and Hosted CanIt anti-spam and email archiving
solutions, announce the release of CanIt 9.0.1.

Major New Features include:

        --  Boolean logic has been added to Compound Rules and Archiving
            Rules to allow administrators to to take action in complex
            situations. For instance, this allows administrators to design
            a rule that prevents archiving of messages that have very
            little archival value.
        --  A "true" aliasing feature has been added: this causes CanIt to
            actually rewrite recipient addresses (as opposed to simply
            streaming them into one stream but not rewriting the
            destination address).
        --  Major improvements were made to CanIt's e-mail continuity and
            outbound rate limiting features.
        --  The Roaring Penguin Training Network, a shared Bayesian
            Database, has been improved to preserve as many hand votes as
            possible.
        --  CanIt can now detect dead back end servers and will refrain
            from using them for a short period of time. This can help
            mitigate load problems if a back end server disappears off the
            network.
        --  Improvements were made to make setting up and using LDAP and
            Active Directory easier.

CanIt 9.0.1 is available as:

* CanIt-PRO, an anti-spam software solution suitable for small and
medium-sized businesses.

* CanIt-Domain-PRO, spam filtering software for MSPs to host anti-spam
for their customers.

* Hosted CanIt, a fully outsourced, hosted anti-spam service.

* CanIt Archiver, email archiving software.

DomainTools Launches Domain Report, a New Product to Provide Comprehensive Domain-Name Data in One Report

Domain Report delivers current and historical data on any domain name in a customized PDF

SEATTLE, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DomainTools, the leader in domain-name research and monitoring, today announced Domain Report, its newest product that is changing how individuals and businesses access domain information. A Domain Report creates a thorough, customized report that utilizes the world's most comprehensive database on domains to generate an accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive snapshot of domain data.

In a matter of minutes, a report can be created on any single domain name and compiled into one professional PDF document. This new tool is incredibly useful for users who want to focus their research on a single domain name and does not require a full site membership to access.

Domain Report not only gives customers access to nearly all domain ownership history on a single domain name registered now or in the past, but also provides website screenshots and lists of connected domains on the same Nameserver or IP Address.

A Domain Report can be useful in any number of professional scenarios:

    --  A trademark attorney needs to show that a domain name was registered in
        bad faith after the filing date of their client's trademark. They obtain
        a Domain Report from DomainTools that clearly documents the chain of
        ownership including registration dates and ownership contact
        information.  In addition, the Domain Report includes historical
        screenshots of the domain name being used in violation of the client
        trademarks.
    --  A network administrator identifies a domain name in a phishing email and
        needs to document its ownership and DNS data to share with the proper
        authorities. They order a Domain Report and discover dozens of connected
        domains that share the same IP address or name server as their target
        domain. The administrator uses that new data to surface a more complete
        picture of the phishing network and initiates a coordinated response in
        the security community.
    --  An individual is interested in buying a high-value domain name from
        another party.  She buys a Domain Report on the domain to validate the
        current ownership status, ensure the domain has a clean history, and
        capture useful negotiating points such as how long the current owner has
        owned it, has the current owner ever developed it, and possibly whether
        the current owner also owns other TLDs of the same domain string.
"A number of our customers use DomainTools on an event-driven basis when they have a domain-specific research need.  These important users don't need DomainTools every day, but when they need us they want to know everything they can about a given domain name and know that their $49 investment can save hours of work or thousands of dollars.  We created Domain Report in response to this customer demand. Now with Domain Report anyone can have access to the most comprehensive domain data in the marketplace on a domain-by-domain basis" said Tim Chen, CEO of DomainTools.

Before ordering a Domain Report, customers get a complete, no-cost Report Preview that provides statistics on the data the report will include. Buyers can customize the report by specifying which data is included in the PDF, such as date ranges, client reference and whether certain sections of data are shown or hidden.

The final Domain Report is a downloadable PDF document that may include:

    --  Most recent website screenshot
    --  Current Whois record
    --  Registration dates and status codes
    --  Domain ownership history
    --  Owner (registrant) name and email address
    --  Network name and IP location
    --  Reverse IP & Name Server connected domains
Each Domain Report sells for an introductory price of $49, and no paid DomainTools membership is required.  Once payment is received, the Domain Report is delivered within minutes as a professional downloadable PDF document--a more authoritative format than screen captures, website printouts, or data that has been copied and pasted into other documents. Customers have all the domain-name data they need on one document. A sample of Domain Report can be accessed via DomainTools' Domain Report page at http://domainreport.domaintools.com/.

About DomainTools

DomainTools offers the most comprehensive searchable database of domain name registration and hosting data. Combined with their other data sites such as DailyChanges.com, Screenshots.com and ReverseMX.com, users of DomainTools.com can review millions of historical domain name records from basic Whois and DNS information, to homepage images and email settings. The Company's comprehensive snapshots of past and present domain name registration, ownership and usage data, in addition to powerful research and monitoring resources, help customers by unlocking everything there is to know about a domain name. DomainTools is a Top 250 site in the Alexa rankings. Visit the website at http://www.domaintools.com.

Home Access Health Corp. encourages cholesterol testing during American Heart Month, beyond

Leading maker of at-home laboratory test services touts convenient method for identifying risk of heart disease

WEST CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and can strike individuals who appear to be healthy. February is American Heart Month, and Home Access Health Corporation says that the first step to being heart healthy is knowing your cholesterol levels.

Home Access and the American Diabetes Association have teamed up to offer a complete cholesterol panel that can be used from home:  it's simple, easy, meets the accuracy standards established by the National Cholesterol Education Program, and is the only FDA-cleared cholesterol panel, available directly to consumers, that uses self-collected finger stick blood combined with testing through a professional clinical laboratory. The test, called the CheckUp America((SM))  Cholesterol Panel, is designed to be used in the privacy and comfort of home, and provides all four cholesterol-related measurements:  total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol and the main cause of artery-clogging plaque) and triglycerides (fat in the bloodstream).  The test is available online at http://www.HomeAccess.com.

"We all know people who have suffered a heart attack or stroke unexpectedly; that's why it's important for people to manage their cholesterol levels as part of an overall approach to good health," said Mary Vogt, president of Home Access Health Corporation, the U.S. leader in at-home laboratory testing services.

"Cholesterol screening is one of the most important steps Americans can take to understand their personal risk of heart disease, and American Heart Month presents an important reminder to get a complete cholesterol test," said Vogt.  "More than one million Americans will have heart attacks this year and about half that number will die. Knowledge and understanding of your personal cholesterol levels is key to managing a healthy heart."

The higher your cholesterol, especially LDL-cholesterol, the greater the risk of suffering a heart attack. A major contributor to heart disease is the buildup of cholesterol in the bloodstream, narrowing arteries and restricting blood flowing to the heart.  Other factors include age, family history, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.

If you know your cholesterol level, you can take specific actions to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke, Vogt said.  If tests results indicate a high level of cholesterol, Home Access encourages you to consult your doctor. 

The CheckUp America((SM) )Cholesterol Panel uses a few drops of self-collected fingerstick blood mailed to the certified testing laboratory. A comprehensive lab report is mailed back to the home, and is also available online or by phone through the Home Access counseling center.  Results are available within three days of samples delivery to the lab. The CheckUp America((SM) )Cholesterol Panel is a complete test system, and includes the necessary components for the collection, packaging and mailing of a fingerstick blood sample to the clinical testing laboratory, laboratory resulting and reporting.

About Home Access Health Corporation
Home Access Health Corporation (HAHC) was founded in 1993 to provide anonymous, direct-to-consumer laboratory test services using self-collected fingerstick blood.  Individuals collect, package and send a small fingerstick blood specimen to the Company's CAP-accredited laboratory, using components provided in the Home Access test kits.  In 2007, the Company received FDA clearance for its complete Cholesterol Panel, a comprehensive laboratory test system that uses self-collected fingerstick blood to measure total Cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, Triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol.  The accuracy levels of the Cholesterol Panel achieve the standards established by the National Cholesterol Education Program and the test method has been certified by the CDC-sponsored National Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Network.

Weigh and Win Expands in Colorado as Waistlines Shrink

Free healthy eating and fitness program offers new and improved online resources for participants

DENVER, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Weigh and Win, a free personalized program that offers cash rewards and prizes to individuals who achieve or maintain a healthy weight, has expanded rapidly and is celebrating an important milestone.  In just two years, more than 30,000 Coloradans have enrolled.

Weigh and Win launched in March 2011 with four kiosks in the Denver area. There are now 43 Weigh and Win kiosk locations up and down the Front Range, from Fort Collins to Pueblo, as far south as Durango and as far west as Grand Junction.  Kaiser Permanente is the founding funder of Weigh and Win as part of its commitment to promoting community health and comprehensively fighting the obesity epidemic through environmental and policy change.

"Weigh and Win has helped thousands of Coloradans live healthier lifestyles. We couldn't be more pleased with the support the program has gained from community partners and the tremendous growth which has made it even more accessible to Colorado residents," said Jandel Allen-Davis, MD, Kaiser Permanente vice president of government and external relations.

Free to all Colorado adults, Weigh and Win is the first program of its kind in the nation.  Individuals who sign up for the program, participate in quarterly private photographed weigh-ins at kiosks in order to track their progress and be eligible for quarterly cash rewards.  Conveniently located kiosks are found in libraries, recreation centers, medical offices and retail stores in communities across Colorado.

Participants who begin with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater receive cash rewards according to the percentage of weight lost. For example, a 10 percent weight loss would result in $30 and a 20 percent weight loss would result in $75. Rewards are also provided for maintaining weight loss over each quarter and all participants, regardless of weight, are eligible to win monthly prizes just for participating in Weigh and Win.

"I was looking to lose some weight and the monetary incentive added an additional motivation. The daily reminders and health tips keep it on the top of my mind," said Cassie Kauffman, a Weigh and Win participant. "For me, Weigh and Win should be called Weigh and Win-Win because it truly is set up as a win-win situation. You win by losing weight and gaining health education and you also win some extra cash."

Weigh and Win participants receive personalized coaching via email and text messaging, including  a daily exercise and meal plan, a weekly grocery list, tips specific to their own barriers and motivations, and other success strategies. A variety of resources are available on http://www.weighandwin.com including an online journal, 24/7 health guide, downloadable workouts, podcasts, and more. Participants can seek advice from a personal trainer through email or over the phone.  In addition, the program's newly designed website features an interactive reward pyramid which tracks a participant's initial weight and calculates online weight targets and rewards for key milestones.

The new Weigh and Win website also features success stories, total number of participants and pounds lost in real time. Program participants can brag about their success in the program through Weigh and Win's Facebook page.

Weigh and Win's success and tremendous growth in the past two years has been made possible through strong partnerships between businesses, public health departments and local communities.

"I am grateful for Kaiser Permanente and the city of Boulder's commitment in sponsoring the new Weigh and Win kiosk for Boulder Main Library," said Jeff Zayach, public health director for Boulder County Public Health. "The results we have seen from the other kiosks statewide in helping communities make a difference in losing weight are impressive. This program is helping to address a major negative trend."  Boulder Main Library hosts the newest Weigh and Win stationary kiosk location.

With the help of community partnerships, Weigh and Win will continue to add a select number of kiosks in 2013. The coming year will also be focused on creating more opportunities within the program for participants to interact with each other and stay motivated to achieve a healthy weight.

FAST FACTS:

    --  30,000 Weigh and Win enrollment

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford ask kids to "Make the Play" for a healthier Michigan

BCBSM hosts second-annual video contest asking for ideas on how to live a healthier lifestyle and fight childhood obesity

DETROIT, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "Making the play" - something quarterback Matthew Stafford does week after week each season with the Detroit Lions -  is something he couldn't accomplish without good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) wants to know how kids in grades four through eight would make Michigan healthier through its second annual "Make the Play for Healthy Habits" video contest.

The student that submits the winning video will get to star as a host of his/her own healthy lifestyle video blog series on aHealthierMichigan.org, and will receive a school assembly featuring Stafford.

Video submissions are being accepted Jan. 30 - March 29. In April, 10 semifinalists will be selected and notified and their video submissions will be posted on aHealthierMichigan.org for a two-week public voting period. The winner will be announced in early May.

"Last year we had such a tremendous response from kids across Michigan to this contest, we are excited to do it again," said Andrew Hetzel, BCBSM vice president for corporate communications.  "Kids are naturally creative. Working with their parents and teachers, Blue Cross wants to see their creativity come to life with the goal of making their schools and communities healthier."

Video submissions should be no more than two minutes long.  They should creatively answer the question "What would you do to make Michigan healthier?" and include the student's perspective on how themselves, their family, teachers and classmates can live a healthier life.  Students should explain how they would communicate healthy lifestyle choices with their families and fellow students.

Students can submit a video using any digital recording device using an MP3 format, such as a smartphone, iPad, Flip video or webcam, or they can upload a video via YouTube. For more information, please visitaHealthierMichigan.org/kidcontest.

Students, grades four through eight, must be enrolled in an accredited public or private learning institution within Michigan to participate.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),childhood obesity has both immediate and long-term effects on health and well-being.  The CDC also reports that 14.2 percent of Michigan adolescents in grades nine through 12 are overweight, while 11.9 percent are obese. In children ages two to five years, 16.3 percent are overweight and 13.3 percent are obese.

Schools play a particularly critical role in combating obesity by establishing a safe and supportive environment with policies and practices that can encourage healthy behaviors. Schools also provide opportunities for students to learn about and practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.

The "Make the Play for Healthy Habits" kid contest is an extension of BCBSM's ongoing efforts to combat childhood obesity by encouraging kids to share their ideas using creativity and new media. In addition, this week BCBSM announced that elementary schools can apply for a new round of grant funding from Building Healthy Communities, a partnership with the Michigan Fitness Foundation, Wayne State University's College of Education Center for School Health and the United Dairy Institute of Michigan. Since 2009, BCBSM, the program's creator and primary funder, has invested more than $3 million in the Building Healthy Communities program in an effort to promote healthier lifestyles and prevent childhood obesity and its associated health risks.

Immediate health effects of childhood obesity:

    --  Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular
        disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a
        population-based sample of five- to 17-year-olds, 70 percent of obese
        youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
    --  Obese adolescents are more likely to have pre-diabetes, a condition in
        which blood glucose levels indicate a high risk for development of
        diabetes.
    --  Children and adolescents who are obese are at greater risk for bone and
        joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such
        as stigmatization and poor self-esteem.
Long-term health effects of childhood obesity:

    --  Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults
        and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart
        disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer and
        osteoarthritis. One study showed that children who became obese as early
        as age two were more likely to be obese as adults.
    --  Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk for many types
        of cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, endometrium,
        esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gall bladder, thyroid, ovary, cervix and
        prostate, as well as multiple myeloma and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Knowledge and prevention:

    --  According to the CDC, healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating
        and physical activity, can lower the risk of becoming obese and
        developing related diseases.
    --  The dietary and physical activity behaviors of children and adolescents
        are influenced by many sectors of society, including families,
        communities, schools, child care settings, medical care providers,
        faith-based institutions, government agencies and the media, as well as
        the food, beverage and entertainment industries.

Intacct Rides Cloud Computing Momentum to Record Yearly Results

Intacct Grows New Customer Bookings by Nearly 50 Percent in 2012; Adds Record Number of New Customers in Most Recent Quarter

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Intacct, a leader in cloud financial management and accounting software, today announced record results for calendar year 2012. Over the past twelve months, Intacct increased new customer bookings by more than 47 percent over 2011. In the company's second fiscal quarter, ended December 31, Intacct rode strong momentum from companies outgrowing QuickBooks and those looking to switch from outdated midmarket on-premises software to secure a record number of new customer additions. All of this points to increasing momentum in the cloud financials market as gains in other business application areas, such as customer relationship management and human resources, are now reaching core financials.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120123/SF39551LOGO)

To meet increasing demand, Intacct continues to attract a growing number of CPA firms and the top Microsoft and Sage partners to its channel program, adding several key new partners in 2012. The Intacct Business Partner Program added three new Accounting Today Top 100 resellers during the year: SVA Consulting (#48), e2b teknologies (#74), and InterDyn CFO Consulting (#97 and now part of InterDyn BMI) - bringing the program's overall count to 21 of the Top 100 firms. Meanwhile, Intacct's partnerships with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and CPA2Biz, the technology subsidiary of the AICPA, have helped to strengthen the Intacct Accountants Program. In 2012, the program added more than 75 new firms and now boasts 22 of the Top 100 accounting firms.

Existing customers also voiced their satisfaction and deepened their commitment to Intacct. Add-on business with current Intacct customers remained strong, with these companies adding new users and subscribing to additional Intacct applications in record numbers during 2012.

"There is no doubt that 2012 was the year cloud financial applications went mainstream," said Robert Reid, CEO of Intacct. "While on-premises financial software growth is essentially flat, cloud vendors continue to grow rapidly. With new customer additions at an all-time high, we are seeing increased demand for our award-winning financial applications. In addition, as the cloud partner of choice for the channel, we continue to see momentum across both traditional resellers and top accounting firms. Intacct customers will receive a slate of significant product enhancements in 2013 that will extend the value of their investment and provide the opportunity for accelerated growth for Intacct and our partners."

2012 Year in Review
Reflecting more broadly on 2012, Intacct achieved many significant milestones. Here is a review of some of the company's key accomplishments over the past year:

Company Funding and Growth - In October, Intacct announced it had secured an additional $13.5 million of new financing. The majority of the new financing was secured through a $7.5 million venture funding round led by Split Rock Partners. The round featured all existing investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Emergence Capital, Sigma Partners, and Sutter Hill Ventures. The remainder of the funding came in the form of a $6 million line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. The additional funds will be used to drive continued growth through extended product innovation and expanded distribution channels.

Product Innovation - Showcasing the rapid pace of innovation available in cloud-based systems, Intacct delivers quarterly product releases that are effortless for customer to adopt - ensuring customers are always on the latest version. Intacct's product investments cut across three key focal areas: delivering best-in-class financials that grow with you, providing a frictionless transition to Intacct, and making proactive investment in ease and ideas.

Building on the new user experience launched in Fall 2011, Intacct rolled out more than 170 new features in 2012. Many of the product updates from 2012 were customer initiated ideas, including updates to Intacct Project Accounting and Intacct Revenue Management, as well as several end user management enhancements. Intacct also introduced product experience enhancements, including new context-driven help at the point of need and a new trial capability, allowing prospective customers to try the system before they buy.

Channel Growth - Intacct boasts the strongest channel program of any cloud financial vendor. More than 300 leading CPA firms and resellers have now joined Intacct's channel programs. With 22 of the Top 100 CPA firms, 21 of the Top 100 VARs in the industry, 20 "VAR Stars," and five firms on Accounting Today's list of Technology Pacesetters, Intacct's channel programs remain the envy of its peers.

World Class Operations - Intacct once again delivered on its commitment to outstanding levels of security and reliability. Across all of 2012, Intacct delivered 99.98% scheduled uptime, with 99.99% or better scheduled uptime in 10 of the 12 months. Intacct continues to provide customers with levels of operational excellence they would be unable to achieve running on-premises software at their own business - all backed by Intacct's Buy with Confidence service level guarantee.

        kill and rob other players for rare items. Such players are deemed

Wize Commerce Develops New Type Of Online Ad To Boost Sales

Real-time Social Data Ads Enhance Click-Through-Rates by 10%

SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Wize Commerce(TM) (http://www.wizecommerce.com), a global leader in online optimization and traffic acquisition technology, announced it has developed a new type of online banner advertisement, Real-time Social Data Ads, which entice potential customers to click on a product ad by showcasing constantly-updated and relevant information. The ads will include social data like the number of times a product has been tweeted or liked on Facebook, as well as recent drops in price, special offers like free shipping, available coupons, and how many recent purchases have been made.

[See Examples of Ads HERE]

The ads, which have already increased click-through rates by 10 percent, are currently used exclusively on Wize Commerce's comparison shopping site Nextag, and will be made available for all Wize Commerce customers in the months ahead. The ads showcase data from Wize Commerce's proprietary Rover social analytics system, which measures customer interest in products based on consumer discussions on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, product views, and actual purchases.

Additionally, Real-time Social Data Ads highlight information from Nextag's Radar tool, which acts as a wish list for shoppers to help monitor price changes of their most desired products. Together, these systems are used to generate much of the data that is ultimately included in Real-time Social Data Ads. 

"Today's online shoppers are getting savvier, and it is increasingly difficult for retailers to draw their attention to traditional banner advertisements - let alone get them to take the next step and actually click through," said Jeff Katz, CEO of Wize Commerce. "But potential customers are more likely to be interested in a product if they see that it is popular and being shared on the social media channels they trust and use on a daily basis - and that's where Real-time Social Data Ads come in."

These new online ads are the next step in Wize Commerce's ongoing efforts to understand not just how the use of social data can lead to better, more effective digital marketing strategies - but how to provide merchants with better results for the same marketing spend.

About Wize Commerce

Wize Commerce(TM) (formerly Nextag, Inc.) is a global leader in online optimization and traffic acquisition technology.

Virtium StorFly 200 Slim SATA delivers 512GB in 15% the volume of a 2.5-inch drive making it an ideal small form factor solution for networking and industrial embedded applications

Tax Filing Season opens with official launch and "Ask A Tax Preparer" Mobile App

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Coinciding with today's IRS launch of tax season and their acceptance of returns for e-filing, is the release of  the free "Ask A Tax Preparer" mobile app. Over 500 participating licensed tax professionals from around the nation will provide individuals and businesses that download this app with free answers to their tax questions throughout tax season.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130130/NY51128LOGO)

The "Ask A Tax Preparer" app includes a comprehensive database of answers to more than 2,500 tax questions, and even includes the latest fiscal cliff tax changes recently passed by Congress. Users of the app can simply choose a category and search for the answer to their question in the tax archive. If unable to find the answer to a question, users have the option to type their question and send it to local participating tax preparers whom will answer it for free within 48 hours. The question and its answer will then be added to the robust tax archive for future inquiries. Additionally, those who would like to locate a licensed tax professional can use the app to "Find a Tax Pro" by zip code. "Ask A Tax Preparer" is available for free download and use on the Apple and Android platforms.

Tax season is getting started late this year because of last minute tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA). The IRS could not process returns earlier as this fiscal cliff legislation retroactively modified the tax laws for 2012, requiring tax forms and software to be corrected. The most common tax changes enacted under this fiscal cliff legislation that effect 120 million households can be found on the "Ask A Tax Preparer" mobile App. 

"Ask A Tax Preparer" was released by PTINdirectory.com, the first online searchable database of over 700,000 federally PTIN registered tax preparers.  As of 2011, all tax professionals were required to obtain from the IRS a preparer tax identification number (PTIN) and register their "license" annually. PTINdirectory.com was made possible as a direct result of the Freedom of Information Act. Under the Freedom of Information Act the Internal Revenue Service was required to make tax preparer information available to the public. PTINdirectory.com is the only comprehensive directory where you can actually search for a licensed tax preparer by language criteria.

PTINdirectory.com is owned by The National Directory of Registered Tax Return Preparers and Professionals Ltd. The Company currently is focused on providing licensed tax professionals including CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and Registered Tax Return Preparers with the  resources they need to succeed in this rapidly changing and regulated environment.

Truphone Brings Tru App To BlackBerry 10

INTERNATIONAL CALLING AND ROAMING INNOVATOR ADDS NEW PLATFORM TO PORTFOLIO

Takes Advantage of new BlackBerry Operating System Features and APIs

LONDON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Truphone today announced a completely new BlackBerry 10 version of its Tru App, enabling users to save up to 90 percent on international voice calls while enjoying enhanced audio quality. Available for use wherever Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G are available, Tru App 5.0 brings all the features of Truphone's mobile VoIP applications to BlackBerry devices for the first time.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120127/LA43016LOGO)

"Voice technologies in mobile continue to mature and companies like Truphone continue to find ways to innovate on the BlackBerry 10 platform. This is the best time for developers to take advantage of the wide array of tools for the BlackBerry platform and to be among the first crop of applications available to BlackBerry 10 customers," said Alec Saunders, Vice President, Developer Relations and Ecosystems at Research In Motion. "By leveraging the open nature of the BlackBerry 10 platform and the breadth of API support we have, Truphone is now able to offer enterprises and BlackBerry customers VoIP solutions that will enhance communications immensely."

Truphone introduced its first BlackBerry app in 2008. As a brand-new BlackBerry OS rather than a point upgrade, OS10 gave Truphone several new tools for providing its customers with a richer, more convenient user experience. 

"Before BlackBerry10, RIM's operating systems limited developers by not providing the right APIs or restricting access to the Wi-Fi stack," said Truphone CTO, James Tagg. He continued, "Those limitations made it impossible for Truphone to offer BlackBerry users the same functionality we make available on other operating systems. BlackBerry 10 provides a far more developer-friendly environment, including functionality that enables Truphone to deliver its improved user experience to BlackBerry 10 smartphones and tablet users."

The Tru App for BlackBerry 10 also sports an enhanced user interface, which Truphone plans to build on with increasingly valuable functionality over the coming months.Tru 5.0 will be available in the updated BlackBerry World even before the first BlackBerry 10 devices go on sale.

ABOUT TRUPHONE
Truphone, the pioneering international mobile communications company, helps people and businesses around the world stay connected, wherever they may be. The company's unique SIM-based offering works in more than 200 countries, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of staying connected across international borders.

Truphone was the first company to develop a VoIP application for smartphones, releasing the Tru App in October 2006 - since then the company has established a strong track record for technical innovation in GSM and VoIP, winning multiple awards.
