Company Develops Free Phone Application to Stop Texting and Driving, Chooses Exposure Experts Insider Media Management to Spread The Message of Safety & Technology

Communications Firm Run By Journalists, Also Providing Branding, Marketing and Social Media Support

BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The public relations firm known for exceptional delivery of their clients' message via top-notch media relations, has been selected to help save lives. Phone application development company 3i Tech Works, Inc. tapped Insider Media Management (http://www.insidermediamgmt.com) as the PR firm to roll out their new app, FreeSafeText  (http://www.freesafetext.com). The application stops drivers from texting and driving in an easy and user-friendly way.

"Insider Media Management has a stellar reputation for delivering the stories to media outlets across the country in a way the media wants to hear them," says FreeSafeText Developer and 3i Tech Works, Inc. President, Joe Riano.

"It is an honor to have the opportunity to spread the word about a tool that will save lives worldwide," says Insider Media President, J.P. Hervis.

The former television journalist adds, "Our media contacts will want to tell their viewers, readers or listeners about the app, which protects their families by curbing the alarming rate of texting and driving accidents, injuries and death."

Once the free phone application is downloaded, drivers simply turn it on before they begin driving. If a text is received while driving, they won't know. Any distraction and possible danger is avoided. When the driver stops the car they can check the messages delivered to the phone while driving with the app on.

Whomever texts or calls the driver receives a message from the driver's phone stating they are unavailable because they are behind the wheel.

"At Insider Media, we believe every business has a unique story to tell. The media and public will connect with the story of how this app was developed by Joe Riano because he felt drivers who text were endangering his grandchild's life every day," says Maureen Rowland, Insider Media's PR Manager and a former TV news producer.

The South Florida based PR firm serving clients around the country will also utilize the support for the phone app by legendary football coach Howard Schnellenberger. "Coach Schnellenberger's endorsement allows us to present the FreeSafeText application to our news and sports media contacts, widening the opportunity for exposure," says Rowland.

Asda Teams up with SquareTrade to Launch a New Warranty for Electrical Items that puts Customers First

LONDON, December 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

             UK's favourite supermarket to help customers protect their consumer

                   electronics from drops, spills and accidental damage

    Asda and SquareTrade, the top-rated warranty provider, today announce a partnership to
offer warranties for electrical goods that not only offer Asda customers market leading
prices but also ensures comprehensive protection and excellent customer service.

    Research by SquareTrade found that only 17% of people believe that warranty companies
offer good customer service and 70% are frustrated by the claims process[1]. With this in
mind, Asda and SquareTrade's enhanced warranty protection will not only cover customers
against drops, spills and other forms of accidental damage, but also includes a five-day
service guarantee for items sent in for repair, a full purchase price refund if the items
can't be repaired and if the item isn't returned to the customer within five days then the
warranty is free.

    The new warranty is also good value for money. For example, a 3 year SquareTrade
warranty on a GBP299.99 washing machine costs just GBP49.99 at Asda, compared to GBP109.99
to GBP119.99 for similar cover at high street retailers. A 3 year SquareTrade warranty on
a GBP499.99 LCD TV costs just GBP59.99 at Asda, compared to GBP129.99 to GBP134.99
elsewhere.

    Kirsty Ward, head of Asda Money said: "Clear, honest pricing is a priority for us and
we want to make certain that if our customers are buying expensive electrical items that
they're not paying through the roof for the warranty and that if anything happens they are
fully covered. This is why we partnered with SquareTrade to offer our customers the best
service and value for money in the run up to Christmas."

    "As this year's OFT investigation of the warranty industry shows, warranty offerings
can deliver a poor deal for consumers. In addition to wanting a great price, customers
need to know they can trust a warranty service. Asda customers can easily check
SquareTrade's past performance: tens of thousands of 5-star customer reviews and customer
comments on our Facebook page explain what it's like doing business with SquareTrade,"
added Vince Tseng, managing director of SquareTrade. "We're thrilled to be able to provide
our services to Asda customers in time for Christmas."

Global Wafer Foundry Market & China Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Industry Reviewed With Forecasts in New Research Reports

DALLAS, December 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    RnRMarketResearch.com adds "Research on Global and China Wafer Foundry Industry, 2012"
and "Research on China's Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Industry, 2012-2017" reports to its
store.

    Since 2011, the world's major wafer foundries are accelerating the expansion of
advanced process capacity scale. With the flourish of smart phone and tablet PC market,
the demand for advance process which owns low cost and high efficiency increased rapidly,
therefore, the wafer foundries including TSMC, UMC, Global Foundries and Samsung have
expanded production capacity actively.

    The global market share of China mainland's wafer foundries
[http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/research-global-china-wafer-foundry-industry-2012-market-report.html ]
reached 13.3% in 2006. However, this proportion decreased year by year, and
the global market share dropped to 10% and less than 9% in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

    In 2011, the annual output value of global semiconductor foundries was nearly $ 30
billion, and TSMC occupies more than 40% of the market share. With the flourish of UMC,
Samsung, Intel and GlobalFoundries, in order to maintain the leading position, TSMC
invested $ 5.9 billion to expand 12-inch plant and improve the production capacities of
65/55 nm and 40 nm, and the capital expenditure amounted to $ 7.8 billion in 2011, mainly
invested in Wafer Fifteenth Factory. In 2012, the capital expenditure is expected to reach
$8-8.5 billion.

    In 2011, UMC gained 35.7% stock equity of HeJian Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd and
became its largest shareholder. In the future, UMC will continue to negotiate the
acquisition of stock equity with other shareholders so as to accelerate the production
capacity expansion, and also to improve the competitiveness by virtue of capacity
advantage complement between China Mainland and Taiwan; at the same time, UMC began 28 nm
pilot production since the first quarter of 2012, it is estimated that by the end of 2012,
the revenue of 28 nm will occupy 5% of the total revenue, and the capital expenditure plan

    The global Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) market
[http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/research-chinas-thermoplastic-elastomer-tpe-industry-2012-2017-market-report.html ]
has entered the mature stage and the global TPE demand volume
has reached 4.05 million tons. At present, in the TPE consumption structure, the
proportion of TPS, TPO, TPU and TPEE is 44%, 31%, 9.5% and 6.5% respectively, and other
kinds of TPE accounts for about 9%. Styrene TPE still occupies the top position, but the
product share shows the downward trend. Currently, TPO has entered automobile and medicine
markets, and also began to replace traditional thermoset rubber and PVC materials, so the
market share of TPO will expand continuously and the consumption will increase rapidly.

    At present, China's TPE has developed into more than ten varieties, and has replaced a
part of rubber, synthetic rubber and plastic. TPE is widely used in auto parts industry
(tubes, belt, mat and plate, etc.), construction industry, shoemaking, medical products,
sealing products, packaging products, electric wire and cable, daily life products, toys,
sports equipments, hardware, power tools, communications, electronic products, household
appliances, adhesives and the modification of polymer materials. Of which, followed by
construction industry, medical and daily life product field, automobile industry is the
most important TPE application field, which accounting for about one third.

    In recent years, people pay more attention to product safety instead of production
safety, namely, people concern more about the environmental protection products. TPE is a
new type of environmental protection material, so people conducted a mass of researches on
TPE and has achieved breakthrough in energy saving and three wastes (waste gas, waste
water and waste residues) reduction aspects. While the research works of TPS synthetic
technology, the polymer characterization work is also deepened. This situation is
specifically manifested in two aspects, namely, the increase of separate analytical
technical content and the combination of different analytical techniques. At present,
people has developed atomic force microscope (AFM) which can further study the TPE. In
short, TPE will develop in the following aspects:

       
        - Adopt new technology produced TPE
        - TPE composite technology
        - Cross-linking TPE with durability
        - Creation of new demand which related with ecology and material recycling
        - Develop new TPE market

DigitalRoute Launches DaggerEngine, the Cloud-based Data Aggregation Solution

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, December 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    New offering built on MediationZone technology allows enterprises of any size to
quickly address their Big Data challenges

    DigitalRoute(R), a leading provider of mediation and data integration solutions for
the communications industry, today announced the launch of DaggerEngine
[http://www.daggerengine.com ], its Cloud-based data aggregation solution. The launch
highlights the DigitalRoute's understanding that the twin realities of Big Data and the
mechanism of delivery via the Cloud are changing the way enterprises can do business.

    Today, information is the raw material of a successful commercial strategy. This is
reflected in the existence of the Big Data market opportunity, the value of which is
projected to reach an estimated size of $50.7bn by 2016, according to research firm IDC.
In its raw form, this data holds within it the power to inform more effective
decision-making than has ever been possible before. But due to its sheer volume, the
disparate sources generating the information and the need to cross-correlate vast and
different data streams, the opportunity is difficult to tap, particularly for small- to-
medium-sized enterprises who until now have had limited access to high-powered data
aggregation technology to help tackle the problem. Without the ability to quickly and cost
effectively exploit the value in data, for these firms Big Data simply becomes a missed
opportunity.

    DigitalRoute's response to this problem is DaggerEngine; the first Data Aggregation
solution in the Cloud. Based on DigitalRoute's
[http://www.digitalroute.com ]market-leading MediationZone
[http://www.digitalroute.com/index.php/platform ](R) platform, already used by over 250
leading companies around the globe to process their mission-critical enterprise data,
DaggerEngine allows both SMEs and other companies to capitalize on their data
opportunities. DaggerEngine can filter, normalize, correlate and and pre-process data
before it hits the data warehouse, analytics, decisioning and/or churn reduction systems.
As such DaggerEngine can serve as the basis for real-time decisioning. Specifically, users
of DaggerEngine will be able to tap a variety of functions including:

       
        - Real-time Cross-Selling triggers
        - Sliding window Trend detection
        - Data reduction, correlation and simplification
        - Combining datasets to discover new value

    Already available in sandbox form, interested parties can register their interest at
http://www.daggerengine.com

    According to Thomas Vasen, Vice President, Product Management, DigitalRoute,
"DaggerEngine offers significant opportunities for enterprises to gain rapid commercial
advantage via leveraging usage information that is already at their fingertips. In the
Cloud, they can do this cost effectively and without significant cost or commitment."

    "We are excited to be launching a solution that for many enterprises will redefine the
boundaries of what they can achieve with their data," said Jan Karlsson
[http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?idt255&locale=en_US&trk=tyah ], Chief Executive
Officer of DigitalRoute. "DaggerEngine will bring MediationZone technology to a new and
broader audience and turn Big Data into a repository of value that any enterprise has the
power to exploit."

The 'Romotow' offers adventure with room to move

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, Dec. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With the fast approaching Christmas and summer holidays in the Southern Hemisphere, leading design architects, W2, in Christchurch New Zealand have launched the next frontier in mobile living - called the Romotow.

The Romotow is created for today's innovation savvy generation, with a contemporary mobile living design that delivers an experience in a class of its own. Its design is a radical departure from the boxy and cumbersome hybrid travel trailer and caravan concept of yesteryear.

In the last decade the motor caravan lifestyle has experienced a major surge in popularity. Statistics from the likes of the National Caravan Council in the UK, the Caravan and Camping Association in Australia, the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association and others all confirm that the caravan, motorhome and camping industry is the fastest growing domestic tourism sector. Market research in the United States shows the 900 recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturers generate a combined annual revenue of $10 billion. This increase has been enhanced by improvements in both caravan quality and campsite facilities making mobile living possible at any time of the year.

To capitalise on this burgeoning market W2 directors Stuart Winterbourn and Matt Wilkie designed the Romotow - a head-turning patented innovation that promises a stress free, spacious and comfy escape for all sorts of exciting outdoor adventures. Its point of difference is a living area that uniquely extends out from its sheltered exterior, with an ingenious automated swivel, to reveal up to 70% more floor area to enjoy.

"Often the negatives of campervans and RV's (compared with larger tents) are the expense and lack of covered transitional space. While looking at the movement of a Swiss army knife an idea came to us on how we could create this covered area. We then sketched a 'mobile living' unit that could be anything: a caravan, a mobile café, a home office, a weekend escape, or a new lifestyle of discovery and wonder for retirees - and from that moment the concept took on a life of its own," director Matt Wilkie explained.

Features include aerodynamic and lightweight construction for increased fuel efficiency and towing stability, power assisted braking, pneumatic shocks, gyro assisted self-levelling pads and struts, and a rear mounted camera. Fit-out variations can include a sheltered BBQ deck area for entertaining and relaxing, a windbreak, sliding doors, louvered windows, stylish and easy clean furniture, and more.

W2 is now approaching leading caravan manufacturers with the view of building a prototype for testing and fitting and eventual production, and is seeking feedback from the public as they refine the designs.

PLANO, Texas, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Akorbi, one of the health insurance industry's largest suppliers of localization, interpretation and translation services, has launched a new service to help clients maintain and update their multilingual web sites. The service is already in high demand by health insurance companies driven by the Affordable Care Act, which gives health insurance companies the opportunity to reach millions of Americans who have limited English proficiency.

Akorbi's technology team is able to maintain all of a client's multilingual web sites, while also ensuring that the look and feel of individual sites is culturally appropriate and relevant. In addition, clients can rest assured that changes are applied across all of their web sites, so they can effectively reach and communicate with non-English speaking consumers, while also meeting the communication regulations imposed by the Affordable Care Act. 

"Health insurance companies are realizing that they need to have a strong multicultural communication strategy in place in order to reach the millions of Americans who have limited English proficiency," said Claudia Mirza, chief executive officer of Akorbi. "Our strong technical and multicultural infrastructure is able to support those strategies effectively and efficiently."

Porn Search Solved with XXX Workaround

ICM Gives Consumers What They Want with Reminder That XXX is All One Needs

.XXX Sites given major boost by Algorithm Change

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Internet reels over Google's decision to purposefully make explicit images harder for the consumer to find, ICM Registry is delivering assurance that the porn-browsing public can still get all they want by adding three small letters to their search queries.

The advice, which is available for appropriate audiences, is that one can simply type a description of whatever porn one wants into any search bar followed by the letters "XXX." Results are instant and on target. For example, if one is looking for adult content that includes a mainstream generic word like "Toys," simply enter the search term "Toys XXX" and problem solved. The same search works for those who prefer other search engines too; try "Gay xxx," "Shemales xxx," or "Orgasms xxx" in virtually any search engine. Of course age appropriate Internet users can best and most quickly find adult content through ICM's http://www.search.xxx dedicated porn search engine too, without using the "XXX" trick.

This tip is being offered to the public by ICM Registry, the owners and operators of the .XXX domain, in the wake of the Internet's uproar surrounding Google's decision to censor explicit images in their image search engine.

"Our existing customers are already reporting increased traffic to their sites from Google as a result of the algorithm changes and the advice given by publications like ZDNET to append the XXX letters.  Indeed our own search engine http://www.search.xxx has seen an almost 50% increase in traffic in the last 24 hours," Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM Registry.

"We need to deliver peace of mind for Internet users worldwide that the adult content they have come to enjoy will forever be searchable and available," said Lawley. "The Internet's outpouring of grief over a potential future without online adult content has reinforced the purpose and usefulness of the work being done by the dedicated men and women of ICM Registry, who are devoted to building appropriate destinations for adult consumers who are looking for adult content."

Lawley added that Google's development should be welcomed as no more than a signal that the Internet is simply changing into a more targeted community where people can easily find what they are looking for - including the porn-searching consumer.

"The effective de-ranking of adult content in an attempt to prevent inadvertent exposure to adult content is a trend we have seen in recent months by the major search engines," Lawley said. "New top-level domains such as .XXX are making it easier for consumers to find exactly what they want while at the same time making it easy for those wishing to avoid such content.  This is all about giving the consumer what they want and expect without surprises."

.XXX domains were launched by ICM Registry in December 2011 to function as a responsible alternative domain for sites that offer adult entertainment content and services.  From the beginning, all .XXX sites were appropriately labeled and McAfee Malware scanned to give users a clear, advanced indication of a site's likely content.

".XXX addresses the unique needs of the online adult entertainment industry by giving it an address to demonstrate responsible self-regulation," Lawley said. "The positive response has been overwhelming as consumers and the adult entertainment providers enjoy the benefits and infinite possibilities of the new TLD program."

.XXX sites are the only domains in the world to benefit from daily malware scanning as a standard, which makes .XXX sites among the safest on the Internet. Further, each comes with a MetaCert electronic Family Safety label, making it easier for users, organizations and parents to adjust their browser settings to restrict access to websites that are clearly labeled as potentially adult-oriented content.

More on Search.xxx
Search.xxx offers a clean user interface and intuitive keyword searches.  Search.xxx uses the same technology as usual mainstream search engines but is for adult content only. Search.xxx allows you to set your language preference and your sexual orientation preference, as well as to control the "look and feel" of your style preference. Additionally the service offers 50 pre-set categories and selections already figured out based on popular surfing habits. Recent enhancements allow users to search specifically for videos, still images, cam sites, stores, DVDs and more, making Search.xxx an experience totally focused on delivering exactly the adult entertainment users want: quickly, discreetly and easily.

More on ICM Registry
ICM Registry, headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, is the registry operator for the .XXX sponsored top-level domain as approved by ICANN in 2011.  ICM Registry provides the management and supporting infrastructure for this extension offered via registrars around the world.

Moravia Translates YouTube Clicks into Charity This Holiday Season

Translators without Borders to receive $1 for every click on new Moravia YouTube video, Facebook game

BOSTON, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- While holiday greetings can come in an array of languages, acts of good will are instantly and universally understood worldwide. And this holiday season, Moravia is making the joy of giving as simple as the click of your mouse.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121012/DA92092LOGO)

When viewers visit Moravia's YouTube holiday greeting - a four-minute music video based on David Guetta's popular song "Without You" - or play the company's Facebook "Memory" game, Moravia will donate $1 to Translators without Borders.

    --  The YouTube video is available at http://bit.ly/UWlAUf
    --  The Facebook game is available at http://bit.ly/XYgNEA
Translators without Borders is a non-profit organization that supports humanitarian work around the world by providing free translations. Since its inception, the organization has helped translate more than two million words per year for non-government organizations (NGOs) such as Doctors Without Borders and Action Against Hunger, among others. Translators without Borders believes that well-translated information, like health advisories, provides the knowledge and power to save lives, lift people out of poverty, ensure better health and nutrition, and create and maintain economies.

"Translations are not a tangible good, therefore their importance is often overlooked," said Renato Beninatto, board member of Translators without Borders and Chief Marketing Officer of Moravia. "While the work that Translators without Borders does is remarkable, it's not even meeting one percent of the need that's out there. It's our hope that this social media campaign will raise enough money to significantly impact this organization's meaningful mission. We thank all of our clients, associates and friends for their continued support."

About Moravia

Moravia is a leading globalization solution provider, enabling companies in the information technology, e-learning, and life sciences industries to enter global markets with high-quality multilingual products.

Jilion Announces SublimeVideo Horizon HTML5 Video Player Framework - Perfectly Branded, Feature-Rich Video Players Working Seamlessly Across Mobile and Browser Platforms

SublimeVideo Horizon Launches as a Framework for Brands to Create Tailor-Made Video Players, Compatible With YouTube, Vimeo Pro and Other Hosting Solutions

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jilion, creators of the world's first cloud-based HTML5 video player, today announced the launch of SublimeVideo Horizon, the first HTML5 Video application framework enabling the development of perfectly branded, tailor-made video players. Horizon delivers brands, designers and advertisers complete on-screen customization, providing a solution that works seamlessly across all browsers, including legacy Internet Explorer 6, and the latest mobile platforms, including Apple iPads, Google Nexus and Microsoft Surface tablets.

SublimeVideo Horizon is currently the only solution on the market offering such capabilities.

Jilion's first HTML5 video player platform, SublimeVideo.net, gained global notoriety for providing Web publishers with a fast, easy and reliable plug-and-play universal video player solution. SublimeVideo Horizon now provides full flexibility and modularity to the platform by giving brands and advertisers the creative freedom to build unique players reflecting perfectly their visual identity including their colors, shapes and fonts. The resulting player - including its custom specific interactive features - can then be embedded in any website or blog, becoming a strong ambassador for the brand.

In addition Jilion today announced that it is delivering an integration between YouTube and SublimeVideo Horizon, offering web publishers the unique capability to host their videos on the world's largest video platform, while playing them through their own customized, state-of-the-art SublimeVideo branded players.

"There is a tremendous amount of sophisticated technology operating behind the scenes of this seemingly simplistic and beautiful resulting experience," said Zeno Crivelli, Jilion co-founder. "We spent more than a year developing SublimeVideo Horizon to be the most powerful, no-compromise and brand-friendly video player solution in the world."

Examples of in-video engagement features:

    --  Bands can display a "buy song" or "tour date" button on screen to drive
        sales
    --  Car companies can add a "360° viewer" directly within their video
        player and viewing experience
    --  E-commerce sites can integrate instant "in-stock" information on screen
"The world is adopting mobile as its primary video viewing platform. Brands, marketers and advertisers are in dire need to deliver their audience a sophisticated and seamless viewing experience, despite the painfully fragmented browser technology landscape. SublimeVideo Horizon is the Holy Grail for them to fulfill this vital need," said Mehdi Aminian, Jilion co-founder.

"SublimeVideo Tailor-made Player" offering for brands

To introduce SublimeVideo Horizon on the market, the company is launching a partnership program with agencies that will enable them to create tailor-made video players for their customers.

"SublimeVideo Modular Player" offering for any website

Using the brand new SublimeVideo Horizon technology, Jilion rewrote its freemium cloud-based SublimeVideo.net player. Now, relaunched as SublimeVideo Modular Player, the service delivered more than 70 million players in September 2012 alone, across tens-of-thousands of websites. Users can now assemble their own players using brand new add-ons, and benefit from all the unique advantages of SublimeVideo Horizon.

To learn more, visit http://www.sublimevideo.net.

About Jilion

Jilion is a pioneer and leading provider of HTML5 video technologies.

Jilion built SublimeVideo.net in 2010 as the world's first cloud-based HTML5 video player service, providing web publishers with the most reliable solution to the painful challenge of playing video across devices and browsers. In December 2012, SublimeVideo Horizon debuted as the world's first HTML5 video framework; it goes a huge leap forward, beyond any other HTML5 technology to build Video player implementation. SublimeVideo Horizon solves two major HTML5 video challenges for the very first time by providing brands and marketers with total graphic freedom and complete features modularity; while working on any web browser and seamlessly across the latest mobile platforms.

World's Favorite Cookie (Ice)Caps off 100 Years with First-Ever Trip to Antarctica

One-Of-A-Kind Delivery Unlocks The Magic of OREO Cookies For Those On The Seventh Continent

...And The Magic of Antarctica For The World

DEERFIELD, Ill., Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Never before has OREO delivered the world's favorite chocolate sandwich cookie to all seven continents. Until now. As a final hoorah to end its 100th birthday celebration, today OREO surprised scientists living at Palmer Station in the Antarctic Peninsula with a first-of-its-kind delivery -- 5,000 OREO cookies, enough for everyone there to enjoy a twist, lick and dunk.

The timing couldn't be more perfect. This special cookie delivery comes on the heels of the 100th anniversary of the first time people set foot on the South Pole. Both OREO and Antarctica can celebrate through the playful and imaginative eyes of OREO as they cap off their centennial celebrations.

And it gets sweeter - the brand also made a donation that will give the world a chance to experience the wonders of the seventh continent for years to come. OREO donated Antarctica's first solar-powered Penguin Cam to the scientists and researchers at Palmer Station with the help of Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy. Like the magic that's unlocked when you twist open an OREO, scientists hope the camera will unlock the Antarctic for kids of all ages who will soon be able to watch penguins live in their natural habitat. 

"This is the exclamation point that ends what's been an exciting year of celebration," said Cindy Chen, marketing director, OREO. "In March we set out to help everyone, everywhere celebrate the kid inside and with this special delivery we can say we've achieved that! Now people on every continent can experience the delight of an OREO twist, lick and dunk." 

Setting sail from South America, the cookies traveled on the expedition ship, 'Le Boreal' under the careful watch of luxury adventure travel leaders, Abercrombie & Kent. Dr. James McClintock, endowed professor of polar and marine biology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham has conducted research in Antarctica for 30 years and was on-hand to serve as an honorary Antarctic OREO explorer, taking the delivery from OREO Man on behalf of the "residents" of the continent.

"Having the chance to enjoy an OREO cookie and glass of milk is like having a little piece of home here in the station," said McClintock. "We can't thank OREO enough for being able to join the rest of the world in such a special celebration."

The Cookie with a Passport

OREO is no stranger to groundbreaking world travel.  Prior to its voyage to Antarctica, OREO has earned a place in the hearts of fans in six other continents. OREO remains the top-selling biscuit to this day and has expanded to include culturally relevant products including: TRIPLE DOUBLE OREO (U.S.) adapted from OREO x3 in Argentina, Green Tea Ice Cream OREO in China, OREO Orange Ice Cream from Indonesia and OREO Dulce de Leche flavor in Colombia. 

"The OREO cookie has been pivotal in giving kids of all ages moments of delight in the United States for 100 years," said Chen. "But nothing brings us more joy than being able to create new, unexpected moments across the world in fresh and exciting ways."

Celebrating With a Mission in Mind

In keeping with the OREO birthday mission, fans can visit Facebook (Facebook.com/OREO) to share a photo, story or video in OREO Moments Gallery showing how they've celebrated their inner kid. So far, OREO fans from around the world have shared more than one million moments this year.

To learn more about OREO and for additional ways to bring out the kid inside of you, including online games and OREO recipes for the upcoming holidays, visit OREO.com or Facebook.com/OREO.

Clocking Off for Christmas

LONDON, December 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    eReceptionist reveals its secrets to ensure happy customers and a contented Christmas.
By creating a 'virtual office' environment you can ensure you never miss a call or let
down a client, even though you may be miles away from the office.

    You have all worked hard all year, hit your targets and enjoyed the office party. But
while your staff take a break you face a bleak time operating the office phones in case
any of those last minute orders go astray.

    Alternatively, you could sneak off, put on your slippers and sit by the fire with your
family, safe in the knowledge that all your calls are taken care of, even with no one on
the premises.

    How? By being in your virtual office. A virtual office is a modern day solution to
this age-old problem allowing you to have a Christmas break and a business. Even when
small businesses are stretched to meet demand, it's so easy to create a professional,
established image by using virtual receptionist [http://www.ereceptionist.co.uk ] tools.

    For the perfect Christmas, consider the following Top Five tips from eReceptionist:

       
        1) Choose a cloud based virtual receptionist provider to set up a call
          management [http://www.ereceptionist.co.uk/resources/call-management ] service that
          can respond quickly, efficiently and automatically to client calls when there is no
          one in the office. These can be set up instantly and managed without the installation
          of hardware. The management of your calls is carried out virtually, not the call
          quality, so you won't be impacted by some of the issues which some VoIP operators
          have
        2) Forward your calls to your home number, your mobile, to your holiday
          hotel, or even your mum and dads. You can give the impression of being in the office,
           even if you still have your slippers on
        3) If you are planning to be overseas for the festive period, make sure your
          provider offers voicemail by email - although the EU has cut roaming rates, they can
          still cause a shock so voicemail by email can allow you to instantly listen to
          messages without getting hit in the pocket
        4) Set up your schedule for the festive season, know when you can take a call
          and when you can't. If you have a colleague, share schedules and set up an automatic
          call forwarding schedule between you so that no-one misses out on their Christmas,
          and the business does not miss out either
        5) Settle back, relax, enjoy the comforts of home (safe in the knowledge that
          you won't miss a vital call) - 87% of entrepreneurs say that they feel better and can
          add more to their business after a break - and you should too!

    Overall, having a service such as this allows you to enjoy your Christmas break, safe
in the knowledge that you're not missing business just because you're away from your desk.
It means that you, your family, your colleagues and customers can have a Merry Christmas
and come back relaxed and refreshed, ready for another successful year.

Kudos Trading Co. releases three moving philanthropic kudos in partnership with Love, Light & Melody, The Thrive House for Youth and Grassroot Soccer

Dispatch band member, Brad Corrigan, writes an original kudosong for his cause & Kudos.tc

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kudos Trading Co. (kudos.tc), the "thank you engine" for mobile giving, introduced three moving philanthropic kudos today to benefit the following non-profit organizations:  Love, Light & Melody, The Thrive House for Youth, and Grassroot Soccer.  Kudos Trading Co. offers three types of kudos:  stationery (free), moving (philanthropic) and good (tangible, creme-de-la-creme gifts). Moving kudos raise money for select non-profit organizations.  All three types of kudos can be shared on social networks like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Rugged Elegance.  Rugged Elegance, "the soulful network," is where Kudos Trading Co. was born in 2011.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121214/SF29819)

The Love, Light and Melody kudo is a partnership between Kudos Trading Co. co-founders, Jennifer King & Timothy Fredel, and DISPATCH drummer & lead singer, Brad Corrigan.  Love, Light & Melody, is a philanthropic organization, created by Corrigan, that is dedicated to battling the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of extreme poverty in the United States and Nicaragua. Recipients of the Love, Light and Melody kudo are presented with an original kudosong written, produced and sung by Brad Corrigan. 

Leaving the music studio having produced his first kudosong which includes a banjo and a harmonica, Corrigan said, "We are super honored to be invited into this partnership of giving, so kudos to Kudos Trading Co.!"   

King, an Internet and now a mobile pioneer, who had the vision for the Love, Light and Melody kudo, calls it 'The Holy Trinity of Giving:' A beautiful moving gift, an inspiring song, and a philanthropic donation in honor of the recipient. 100% of the proceeds from this kudo given go directly to support the non-profit organization, Love, Light and Melody."

Kudos Trading Co. has also created a holiday Thrive kudo to benefit The Thrive House for Youth, a community space in the heart of San Francisco that provides children and youth with a nurturing home-like environment to learn life skills, pursue their passions, form meaningful relationships, and thrive.  Mentors, tutors, counselors, and educators from a dozen different youth serving organizations utilize The Thrive House to work with children across all ages, cultures, and socioeconomic groups. Thrive House for Youth Executive Director, Thuy Nguyen said, "With Jennifer and Tim's unique entrepreneurial talents and philanthropic leadership, both our volunteers and kids are creating a new culture of gratitude within our community."  Children come to The Thrive House after school to be mentored intellectually, emotionally or spiritually.  They are taught the importance of identifying what their "spark" is in life.  Thuy added, "Now, via stationery kudos, at no cost, over 200 kids are learning the art of saying 'Thank you.'"

Moving kudo senders donate anywhere between $1 and $1100 per kudo ~ in the name of their recipient.  The Thrive kudo presents an animated snowman holding an ice cream cone who ice skates the shape of a heart around the word 'T H R I V E.'  In one week, during a beta-test with Rugged Elegance members, the Thrive kudo ( kudos.tc/thrive ) raised nearly $2,000 for The Thrive House for Youth. 

Grassroot Soccer, which uses the power of soccer to fight AIDS in Africa, benefits from every "You Make A World of Difference" moving kudo ( http://kudos.tc/grs ).  Tommy Clark, co-founder of Grassroot Soccer, said, "Jennifer King, Tim Fredel and the King family have been long-time supporters of GRS.  We are grateful to be promoted as a Select Rugged Elegance Philanthropy and as a beneficiary of the King Fredel's second mobile venture, Kudos Trading Co. "

"At the Forbes 400 Philanthropy Summit, this past summer, I was inspired by Oprah Winfrey, Jon Bon Jovi, Kathy Ireland, Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffett, Steve Forbes and many others from around the world who have become social entrepreneurs," said Jennifer Carolyn King, co-founder of Rugged Elegance, Kudos Trading Co. and The Thrive House for Youth.  "We had been giving a portion of the proceeds from every good kudo to a Select Rugged Elegance Philanthropy.  Now, we have created a line of moving kudos where 100% of the proceeds goes to support our Select Philanthropies.  Where Rugged Elegance provides an online forum for philanthropists, Kudos provides an easy-to-use mobile tool to give and spread good in the world."

"As the holiday giving season nears full swing, Kudos Trading Co. is creating a simple way to acknowledge friends, co-workers and family in a stressless and meaningful way without breaking the bank," said Timothy Fredel, Kudos.tc co-founder.  "And for that certain recipient who is in search of a small, creme-de-la-creme gift?  Kudos also allows you to send a scoop of Humphry Slocombe ice cream, a Pacific Puff, handmade XOX Truffles, Fleur*t flowers, Corazon juice, or a Coolhaus ice cream sandwich to help loved-ones end the year on a sweet note!"

ASML and Cymer provide transaction status update

VELDHOVEN, The Netherlands and SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ASML Holding NV (ASML) and Cymer, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYMI) today provide a status update regarding ASML's previously announced pending acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Cymer in a cash-and-stock transaction that will entitle each Cymer stockholder to receive US$20.00 in cash and a fixed ratio of 1.1502 ASML ordinary shares per Cymer share.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090406/LA94420LOGO)

Cymer has established Tuesday, 5 February 2013 as the date on which it will hold a special shareholders meeting at which the stockholders of record of Cymer as of 7 January 2013 will be asked to vote on, among other things, a proposal to approve the merger agreement, dated 16 October 2012, among ASML and Cymer and certain affiliates of ASML. The parties expect that a proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to Cymer's stockholders in early January 2013.

In addition, ASML and Cymer indicated that they are continuing to work with various regulators. This includes responding to a request for additional information from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the transaction.

ASML and Cymer intend to continue to work with the Department of Justice and to comply promptly with this second request.

In addition to expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the proposed transaction remains subject to other customary closing conditions, including review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and specified international regulators and approval by Cymer's stockholders.

Sports Aggregator JockSpin Releases Highly Anticipated iPhone/iPad App

MIAMI, Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- JockSpin has made it more convenient to read news, opinion, and rumors for your favorite sports and teams. With its just released iOS apps for iPhone and iPad, one easily selects teams, sports, and regions. The app then aggregates headlines from thousands of sources, displaying a page with recent headlines for each of your selections. To navigate between the pages, one merely slides pages from side to side.

"We developed and continue to enhance JockSpin consistent with our corporate design credo, 'Fast and Beautiful,'" states CEO James Hawkins. He continued, "I think it helps that we are users ourselves. With every proposed modification, we intensely think about how it will affect the user experience."

JockSpin believes that sports fans almost universally are interested in multiple teams or sports, but not all teams and sports. They also believe that for all the news and opinion available, most fans remain hungry for more, mainly because they don't find all that there is. As evidence of this appetite, they point to the ascent in recent years of newcomer publishers like SB Nation, YardBarker, and others, not to mention the countless independent publishers.

Checking out the app, one instantly falls in love with the design, which is sophisticated, comfortable on the eyes, and notably functional. Choosing teams and sports is as simple as tapping on them, with no registration required. How refreshing is that? Perhaps the most attractive design feature is the ability to slide from side to side to access individual selected team, sport, or region pages. Setup, navigation, and subsequent modifications to selections are all easy, convenient, and intuitive.

Users are raving about the product, making comments such as "I like that I can flip through my teams and quickly get my sports fix," "beautiful intuitive app," and "will be using it every day." The only knock on it is that when trying to use it on a connection other than WiFi it can be a bit slow to load, a problem seemingly related to one of the more powerful things about the app, the amount of data it must access to generate its multiple pages of headlines.

An app for Android devices is in development, anticipated to publish in the coming weeks. Expected to be almost identical in appearance and functionality, it will open up JockSpin's functionality to the rapidly growing number of Android devices. Numerous other developments are underway to expand and enhance the company's offerings.

Asked how JockSpin came to be, Hawkins explains that as a Miami based "typical sports fan" he found himself hungry for more about the Miami Heat, which had then just signed Lebron James and Chris Bosh to join Dwayne Wade as the anointed Three Kings. As he was checking Boston, Cleveland, and Chicago area new sources for commentary the thought struck him, "there should be an app for that."

JockSpin, online at http://jockspin.com, bases itself in Miami, traditionally known more for bikinis and nightlife than bandwidth and startups. Of late, however, a startup scene has begun to flourish, with incubators including Innovate Miami and Launch Pad Tech, and angel funds including Miami Innovation Fund and New World Angels, leading the way. Hawkins, commenting on this, notes, "We've given thought to moving to San Francisco, Boulder, or some other recognized tech hub, but think we may be in just the right place to participate in if not lead development of a tech scene here in South Florida."

"We're proud of what we have done so far," states Hawkins, "but we're not close to done, and in fact are just getting started." JockSpin's stated goal is 100 million monthly page views in five years. That is a lofty goal, to be sure, but they are certainly off to a good start.

The JockSpin app is available in iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id581481150.

VASCO, Intel And InfoCert To Enhance User Authentication In Italy

MILAN, Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI) (http://www.vasco.com), Intel Corporation Italy and InfoCert S.p.A. sign a Memorandum of Understanding for a future collaboration that aims at enhancing users' authentication forms in Italy. More specifically, they join their forces and put together their expertise to better protect the access to InfoCert's registered e-mail service Legalmail with MYDIGIPASS.COM.

MYDIGIPASS.COM is VASCO's hosted consumer authentication tool that provides users with convenient and secure access to their favorite applications through a single and secure platform. Access to Legalmail - the InfoCert cloud service of registered e-mails attested with date, time and the assurance that the e-mail is received by the recipient - will be extended to support MYDIGIPASS.COM, thus offering end users a different choice for authentication modes to log on.

MYDIGIPASS.COM natively supports Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT), embedded in all second and third generation Intel® Core(TM) processor based Ultrabooks(TM). Intel® IPT offers a simple, tamper resistant solution for protecting data from fraud or threats and can, indeed, be a key component in two factor authentication solutions such as Legalmail.

Integrating MYDIGIPASS.COM yields several benefits for InfoCert, whose customers principally consist of companies, enterprises, associations, government and professionals, representing altogether around 900,000 e-mail boxes. End users will not need any more assistance related to the requirements of new user credential or password changes. Furthermore, user convenience increases as users can choose between different manners of authentication. In closing, an extra layer of security is added as MYDIGIPASS.COM generates ever-changing one-time passwords that cannot be intercepted and stored for later use.

"VASCO, Intel and InfoCert join forces to secure the Italian Internet with MYDIGIPASS.COM. By implementing MYDIGIPASS.COM, InfoCert proves to be a global trendsetter that is constantly looking for improvement and increased security," says Jan Valcke, President and COO at VASCO Data Security. "InfoCert plans to add at least 100,000 activated users - more than 10% of their current customer base - to the MYDIGIPASS.COM community in 2013."

"The testing phase of VASCO's MYDIGIPASS.COM ran on several Intel based Ultrabooks(TM)," comments Alberto Fabiani, Software & Corporate Resellers Regional Business Manager, Intel Italy & Switzerland, "showed different improvements, both in terms of security levels and simpler user experience. These results acquire a greater importance if we consider that last year nearly one in four (22%)* companies suffered a security breach and 21% faced problems with regards to security of mobile devices. Moreover, another aspect not to be underestimated, we should remember how online customers tend to 'recycle' passwords, even when transferring sensitive data."

"This agreement shows the InfoCert aim to keep enhancing and developing the security components and underlines the attention to customer experience that distinguishes Legalmail family products," says Danilo Cattaneo, CEO of InfoCert. "It is an attitude that has always marked us, and that the market has rewarded, as shown by the amplitude and the steady growth of our customer base. Cooperating with prestigious partners such as VASCO and Intel is a guarantee of success and the best way to achieve our goals."
