ServiceVines.com Connects Property Managers and Homeowners with Quality Contractors, Providing Significant Cost Savings and Simplifying the Process

Retail property manager utilizes ServiceVines' online marketplace for contractor bids and saves thousands on Christmas light installation

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Tis the season to hang Christmas lights and a new website http://www.ServiceVines.com has launched just in time to offer some holiday help from local contractors. It's free to post a job to over 300 service providers and get bids back. The online marketplace helps homeowners and others get bids on outdoor jobs.

Getting bids is free and it's quick to post a job and start getting responses from service contractors. Homeowners can post a request now at http://www.ServiceVines.com.

A retail property manager, based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, decided to give ServiceVines a try. In the process she not only saved time, but she saved thousands of dollars.

The manager, Eve Patterson, appreciated how fast and easy the whole process was to get Christmas lights put up on her properties. "As far as the process goes, it was very simple to fill in the job description on the website. It certainly saves time as you don't have to look up numbers, make phone calls, and explain the job over and over. I look forward to using Service Vines again."

Simplifying the process of getting outdoor work done is exactly why ServiceVines was founded. "ServiceVines makes it push-button simple to get the things done around your house that you've been putting off. You post your request and get bids back online from providers who are eager to earn your business. No more calling, getting voicemail, waiting on calls, or meeting vendors onsite," said Phillip Jackson.

In addition to Christmas lighting, ServiceVines provides other services such as landscaping, lawn care, lawn Maintenance, tree removal, and fencing. "We have over 300 service providers who get immediately emailed about requests in their service area," said Jackson.

Providers get a satellite view of the house but they get NO CONTACT information for the homeowner until the homeowner selects them as a provider. There's also a mobile app for using ServiceVines on the go.

So when that "honey do" list gets long, the Christmas lights need to be put up, and nagging just isn't cutting it -- go to ServiceVines. Get bids without the hassle or guilt trip.

HonestMail.net Harnesses the Power of Amazon Web Services to Deliver Huge Savings and Exceptional Performance

New email marketing service boasts prices more than 50% lower than competition

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Darren Spencer, founder and CEO of HonestMail.net, believes his company is leading a paradigm shift in the way email marketing service providers do business. Last year, Amazon Web Services - the industry standard in cloud computing solutions - launched its Simple Email Service. This new service provides the foundation for a highly scalable and cost-effective bulk email sending platform. HonestMail.net has built its platform to take advantage of this infrastructure and delivery service, passing the savings on to its clients (https://honestmail.net/index.php/plans-pricing). As a further enticement, the company is even offering a risk-free, 30-day trial.

The big players in the email marketing domain - MailChimp, Constant Contact and iContact, among others - have not responded to this changing paradigm for several reasons.  For one thing, many of these companies have made large investments in their current email server infrastructure. They may simply be unable to transition to Amazon Web Service's cheaper Simple Email Service. In fact, the largest of these companies have likely already brought their costs down to the level of Amazon's service. They're simply choosing to retain the extra revenue rather than pass the savings along. Another factor driving high prices is the presence of cash-hungry advertising departments that have grown dependent on a certain influx of revenue.

HonestMail.net, on the other hand, has adopted a far different operations model. Spencer launched the business with the intention of keeping it lean and adaptable to a rapidly changing climate. Rather than running a dedicated advertising department, HonestMail.net relies on positive word of mouth to grow its business. It goes without saying that clients can expect a high degree of care and responsiveness.

"HonestMail.net is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this structural shift in the email marketing industry," says Spencer. "Previously, the only hosted email marketing services charging low prices offered only bare bones functionality. HonestMail.net is the first to offer a full set of features. We have seen many cases in history that the market leaders in an industry will keep their prices as high as possible for as long as possible, despite decreases in the costs of inputs. Lowering their prices would mean a painful restructuring to operate on a lower cost base. Because we don't have that top-heavy corporate infrastructure, we can offer the lowest prices anywhere from day one."

Spencer dismisses the notion that a company can charge whatever it likes for its product so long as its customers see a high return on investment (ROI). "Many email marketing service providers assume that as long as the ROI is a big number, no one will care about the upfront costs.  But when you cut the investment by half, your ROI doubles; that's a much easier proposition than trying to double your return."

As a privately held company, HonestMail.net need not worry about Wall Street and shareholders. As Spencer explains, the focus is squarely on delivering a superior service at an attractive price.

About HonestMail.net

HonestMail.net is the first full-featured email service provider to use Amazon Web Service's revolutionary email sending infrastructure, a choice that has resulted in enormously competitive price points. With a staff of industry veterans, HonestMail.net is pleased to guide new clients into the world of email marketing. The company is privately held and based in New York City.

Entone, Inc.'s FusionTV Chosen by LIME to Power World's First Premium Internet TV Service

Cable & Wireless Communication's Caribbean Division will use internet technology to power PayTV

CUPERTINO, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Entone, Inc., a leading provider of Hybrid TV and Connected Home solutions, today announced that Cable & Wireless Communication's (CWC) Caribbean division, LIME, has selected its FusionTV(®) solution to power the world's first premium PayTV service delivered over the Internet.

With adaptive bitrate (ABR) and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technologies, Entone's FusionTV solution ensures uninterrupted video delivery across any network - enabling LIME to reliably deliver its PayTV service over various network conditions. By connecting an Entone Hybrid TV device to a broadband network, LIME subscribers can instantly access over 130 channels and stream on-demand services (OTT) via a seamless user interface.

"By leveraging the Internet to deliver a PayTV service that bundles live content and OTT services, we can further strengthen our broadband value while also increasing our revenue opportunity," stated Dianne Bissoon, VP TV and Entertainment, LIME. "Entone's FusionTV solution allows us to offer a superior entertainment experience to all our customers while also enabling us to quickly rollout new services across our entire broadband footprint without changing set tops," she added.

LIME's basic TV service channel lineup includes programs from major U.S. networks such as ABC, CBS and NBC, sports from ESPN, music from MTV, children's channel Nickelodeon, as well as news and lifestyle programs from Warner Brothers and BBC America. LIME has also launched LIMEstyle, its own channel for showcasing its latest products, services and promotions.

"PayTV is an important component of the communication services bundle, and helps operators gain and retain subscribers," remarked Aditya Kishore, Senior Analyst at Heavy Reading. "However, a PayTV service using traditional IPTV technology is not always practical for every operator. As such, operators need to look at innovative hybrid video delivery approaches in order to stay competitive and grow their revenue."

"The prospect of delivering premium PayTV services over the Internet is often discussed as a possibility of the future," commented Steve McKay, CEO of Entone. "Entone is proud to partner with LIME to make that future vision a reality today, setting the stage for other global operators seeking to leverage the Internet for the delivery of Hybrid TV services for the benefit of their consumers."

Tristen Beamon and Kyle Meyer, Formerly of Wine Exchange, Are Excited to Start New Online Wine Venture

SANTA ANA, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bestwinesonline.com partners Tristen Beamon and Kyle Meyer are bringing their 30 years of wine buying experience to the web by allowing them to source top wines from around the world and also offer older vintages straight from the wineries.

The buzz about this new venture has been strong and curiosity rampant in the industry as well as among savvy internet wine shoppers after Meyer and Beamon recently left Wine Exchange, one of the nation's premier online wine retailers.

"The future of fine wine sales definitely points toward a more complete online shopping experience. We want to bring the concept of the fine wine merchant straight to people's homes and Bestwinesonline.com does this, whether it's $10 or $10,000 a bottle," Beamon said.

Cashing in on the YouTube recognition they've received with their Hot Legs Wine videos and 'on location' shoots for their Wine Geeks in Paradise TV pilot, the pair will continue to produce a steady diet of video tasting notes. The short interactive videos, along with extra vineyard photos, top critic's notes and interactive customer reviews, all add to the wine buying experience.

"We look at things from a customer's perspective and that includes having a wealth of information at their disposal and getting a real person on the other end of the line," Beamon said. The experienced Bestwinesonline.com buying team will offer direct-to-consumer pricing on many of the world's greatest wines in all price points.

"Bestwinesonline.com should be perceived as not just a purveyor of expensive wines, or French wines, or value wines, but of great wines at great prices from all over the world," Beamon said. "The contacts we've established over the years will allow us to source top wines from all major wine growing regions, which we plan to offer at some of the best prices in the country. Simple as that."

A key part of the duo's business will be their offerings of older vintages straight from the wineries. Meyer says, "We've always enjoyed diligently sourcing older wines direct from the winery, perfectly stored, to sell to our customers. It's a win-win opportunity for everyone."

SupperKing Extends The Sharing Economy To Home Cooked Meals Between Friends And Neighbors

Beta iPhone App Now Available to Discover New Social Dining Experiences and Meaningful Connections

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today SupperKing is launching the first mobile app that enables people to gather with friends and neighbors in their homes for a new delicious and friendly social dining experience. By empowering individuals to display their culinary skills, share their dinner table, or find a home-cooked meal in their neighborhood, SupperKing is transforming the typical solitary city dining experience and encouraging urban citizens to share resources and build community.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121204/SF21914LOGO)

Collaborative consumption is rapidly reshaping the idea of ownership as city dwellers rent their homes, cars, couches, clothes and tools, and strengthen community ties in the process. A recent study revealed that 46% of adults report eating meals alone, while the National Defense Council reports that American families throw out approximately 25% of the food and beverages they buy. By evolving the experience of hosting and dining into a seamless extension of the sharing economy, SupperKing is well positioned to shift solitary dining into a shared experience that deepens local communities and minimizes food waste.

"In a society that thrives on exploring and sharing real world interactions through a digital lens, in-person experiences are still our most meaningful and memorable connections," said SupperKing CEO Kai Stubble. "We created SupperKing to spark the feeling of gratitude that comes with gathering around a dining table and to create new friendships from neighbors to travelers so that no matter what city you are in, you are part of the SupperKing community and can share a meal and story."

How SupperKing Works

    1. Download the App -- get.it
    2. Be a Host OR Find a Meal
    3. Share with Social Channels
    4. Enjoy Food and Conversation
    5. Post a Review
Join the SupperKing Community

DOWNLOAD: SupperKing is free for hosts and diners to join with no membership fees. The SupperKing App is available today in the App Store. - get.it

SPREAD THE WORD: Suggested Tweet: Let's have dinner together! @SupperKing launches to share meals between friends and neighbors. Download the app get.it

COMMUNICATE: SupperKing is currently welcoming beta users to become a part of a new social dining experience and to provide thoughtful feedback as SupperKing evolves the app to better serve its community.

"As someone who loves having dinner parties, SupperKing gives me a way to defer the cost of throwing them, practice new recipes, and bring existing and new friends together," said Melissa Schiederer, SupperKing beta user. "San Francisco is a wonderfully diverse city, but I've noticed that people tend to get stuck in their same homogeneous social circles and this could be a great way to infuse new life to those networks. I am excited to see how SupperKing makes it easier to get together to share food and good times, but alleviates the need to awkwardly ask people to chip in to cover costs."

About SupperKing
SupperKing allows people to share home-cooked meals with a trusted community of neighbors and friends through the first intuitive, location-based mobile app that empowers people to host and meet up for delicious and friendly dining experiences. By sharing food and company through SupperKing, communities can join around similar interests, share recipes, make new friends, minimize food waste and create an entirely new dining economy. The beta SupperKing iPhone app is currently available, initially focusing on building San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles SupperKing communities.

Green Throttle Games(TM) Secures $6 Million To Reinvent TV Gaming On Mobile Devices

Series A Round Led by Trinity Ventures with Participation from DCM

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Throttle Games(TM), a new video game publisher and maker of the upcoming Atlas wireless game controller, today announced it has secured $6 million in Series A funding led by Trinity Ventures with participation from DCM. Ajay Chopra, general partner at Trinity Ventures, joins the Board. The investment will be used to develop internal games, support external development, and advance software services as Green Throttle reimagines mobile gaming on big-screen TVs.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121204/SF23400)

Green Throttle Games was co-founded by Charles Huang, co-creator of the legendary Guitar Hero video game franchise, and mobile industry veterans Matt Crowley, former Palm and Nokia product lead, and Karl Townsend, lead engineer for the first two generations of the Palm Pilot.

The global video game market is roughly $60 Billion per year and games played on TV (mostly via current consoles) make up about half of that.  Green Throttle aims to bring the excitement of side-by-side multiplayer gaming to the family room, using the rapidly expanding power of mobile devices.

"We believe a large percentage of consumers will use their phones or tablets to play games on a TV, and mobile-to-TV gaming could quickly grow to surpass the console market," said Charles Huang, co-founder and CEO of Green Throttle Games. "By building a straightforward way to enjoy mobile games together with your friends, we hope to revolutionize how mobile games are played."

The Green Throttle Arena app will provide a central hub to find and highlight games developed both by Green Throttle, and other independent developers and publishers. Green Throttle is already working with emerging and veteran development studios including nWay, Free Range Games, Mercenary Technology and Monstrous.

"The ability to play mobile games on a big screen TV is very attractive, and Green Throttle's leadership is well poised to bring in the kind of top quality games and industry connections that are needed to turn the Atlas controller and Green Throttle's solution into a household name.  I have always surrounded myself with entrepreneurs who know how to delight their end users and Green Throttle aims to do just that," said Ajay Chopra, general partner at Trinity Ventures.

"Advancements of the last several years have redefined consumers' experiences on mobile devices. I believe that in the next 24 months, the smartphone will reach beyond the few inches of its own display to massively disrupt and cross over to previously independent platforms. I am thrilled to be working with such experienced innovators in reinventing the living room gaming experience," said Jason Krikorian, general partner at DCM.

Green Throttle Games was founded by three executives experienced in creating industry-changing innovations in mobile devices, video games and game peripherals. CEO Charles Huang popularized the rhythm game revolution by creating a wireless guitar controller that made it possible for people to unleash their inner rockstar with their friends playing "Guitar Hero." Guitar Hero became a $1B franchise under his leadership. President and COO Matt Crowley helped to bring the Palm Pre to life, along with leading innovative teams at Nokia. CTO Karl Townsend was one of the original creators of the Handspring and Palm Treo smartphones, some of the first devices to bring mobile email to a mass market. Together, these three founders bring experience in gaming, hardware and software to create a winning combination for Green Throttle Games.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- How do you deal with a mid-life crisis?  If you're Santa, you steal away to Chicago on a golden rocket to find yourself through art, food and music. That's the premise of a free holiday game being released this week by Vertical, Incorporated, a Chicago-based marketing communications firm.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121204/CG22101)

Go Go Santa (http://www.gogosanta.com) was created as a free holiday game that promotes five not-for-profit arts and education organizations in Chicago, according to Vertical President Michael J. Keating. "While charitable giving is recovering, it slowed down during the recession and affected many small, really great organizations," Keating said. "We wanted to create a holiday greeting that promotes the spirit of giving in a fun way and calls attention to organizations we support."

Go Go Santa features exciting Chicago neighborhoods, including Bridgeport, Bucktown and Chinatown. Each level will include neighborhood-specific details like double-decker cyclists, el trains and our iconic ballparks.

Players pilot Santa on his rocket through the neighborhoods, earning points they will allocate among five charities, Keating said. The points determine the amount each not-for-profit group will receive from Vertical's annual contribution allotment. The game also encourages individuals to donate directly to each organization.

Not-for-profits highlighted in this year's game include:

    --  16th Street Theater
    --  Chicago Dramatists
    --  Girls Rock! Chicago
    --  Snow City Arts
    --  The Arts of Life
Go Go Santa is available online at gogosanta.com and Google Play. Using touch-screen devices, players guide Santa's rocket through Chicago to collect bells and coins, all while avoiding flying taxis and renegade reindeer.

Once players clear a level they can allocate their points to one or more of the charities. Point allocation will be accepted through December 28. Points translate into a monetary donation from Vertical. Once players donate, they can see how much their score has helped support the organization they chose.

Follow Go Go Santa on Twitter @ChitownSanta for updates on the game, the charities and prizes.  Go Go Santa can also be followed on facebook.com/gogosanta.

Vertical, Incorporated creates and executes marketing and marketing communications programs for national and multi-national corporations. Located in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, Vertical is dedicated to helping large and small corporations compete more successfully. Vertical also helps companies adopt marketing practices that support their sustainability goals. In addition, Vertical actively supports non-profit organizations that enrich Chicago through arts and education. Go to http://www.verticalincorporated.com.

Oce completes the Oce Arizona 400 UV flatbed printer series with four new models

Features improve productivity; new models include upgrade path to accommodate business growth

TRUMBULL, Conn., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Oce, a Canon Group Company and international leader in digital document management and printing for professionals, today announced four new models in the Oce Arizona(® )400 Series of UV flatbed printers:  Oce Arizona 460 GT, Oce Arizona 460 XT, Oce Arizona 440 GT and Oce Arizona 440 XT printers. Joining the Oce Arizona 480 GT and Oce Arizona 480 XT models introduced in October 2012, these additional models complete the Oce Arizona 400 Series of next-generation UV flatbed printers that feature exceptional quality, improved productivity, application versatility and the ability to upgrade as business grows.

The "right fit" for every customer

The Oce Arizona 400 Series includes six different UV flatbed printers featuring four, six or eight independent ink channels in two different flatbed sizes, offering a range of applications capabilities and capacity to suit nearly any mid-volume print service provider. And as a provider's needs change, an upgrade path is available to ensure that the investment in an Oce Arizona 400 Series printer is protected from obsolescence.

Superior image quality supported by advanced technologies

Oce VariaDot(®) imaging technology is the key to the award-winning image quality of every Oce Arizona printer. Included in these new models, Oce VariaDot imaging technology can produce near-photographic quality with sharpness equivalent to 1,440 dpi or higher. Text as small as 2 pt. is perfectly legible, even when reverse-printed (white ink on a black field).

Active Pixel Placement Compensation assures image sharpness, density and uniformity, wherever it is printed on the flatbed or on the Roll Media Option. This feature is standard on all Oce Arizona 400 Series printers.

Reduced operator intervention equals improved productivity

A variable vacuum system featuring six vacuum zones on the Oce Arizona 400 Series GT models - seven on Oce Arizona 400 Series XT models - is configured to match the majority of standard-sized graphics arts media to reduce or eliminate manual masking thereby decreasing operator intervention and increasing productivity.

A batch mode supports complex, multi-layered jobs - those requiring multiple passes for specialty applications. These jobs can now be streamlined using the new batch mode tools, eliminating operator intervention between operations. Included on all Oce Arizona 400 Series models, batch mode can also be used to produce sets of prints sequentially for easy collation and fulfillment.

Choose the model that suits today's printing needs ...

Oce Arizona 460 GT and Oce Arizona 460 XT models include six independent ink channels with the first four configured for standard CMYK printing. Channels five and six can be configured in two ways that offer flexibility to meet the demands of various jobs:

    --  Varnish + White:  Using white ink, print service providers can produce
        exceptional quality prints on a variety of non-white substrates -
        including backlit prints - that can command premium prices. Varnish can
        be used as a spot or flood decorative element for attention-getting
        results at high-value prices.
    --  Double-White:  Alternatively, when not required for use in printing
        varnish, the sixth channel can be used as an additional white ink
        channel to provide double the opacity in a single printing pass for
        higher productivity when printing white ink jobs. This is particularly
        beneficial for backlit and industrial applications.
Print service providers can use these two channels in whichever configuration best suits their needs, changing from Varnish + White to Double-White (and vice versa) as needed.

Oce Arizona 440 GT and Oce Arizona 440 XT models include CMYK ink channels only. This is ideal for those shops that do not initially need the capacity for Varnish or White Ink printing or already have that capability elsewhere but just need to increase CMYK capacity.

... and be assured of an upgrade path as business grows

The Oce Arizona 400 Series printer family is designed to grow with a print service provider's business. Owners can upgrade at any time to add more application versatility and improve productivity. The following upgrades are available[1]:

    --  Oce Arizona 440 to Oce Arizona 460 adds Varnish + White or Double-White
        capability
    --  Oce Arizona 460 to Oce Arizona 480 adds CM(2) capability
    --  Oce Arizona 440 to Oce Arizona 480 adds Varnish + White or Double-White
        capability plus CM(2) capability
CM(2) printing adds productivity while maintaining exceptional image quality

The last two ink channels included on Oce Arizona 480 models are used to enhance both print quality - beyond the award-winning level already available in every Oce Arizona printer - and print speed by adding extra cyan and magenta nozzle capacity. Called CM(2) [C-M-squared], the additional cyan and magenta nozzle capacity offers Production print modes that rival the slower Quality-oriented modes in terms of sharpness, uniformity and smoothness. Users can take advantage of this improved print quality to realize higher net productivity since more demanding jobs can now be printed in the faster print modes.

New PayDay Loan Lending Service Reveals Online Options

LoansForPoorCredit.net has inducted a new collection of established pay day loans lenders into a user-friendly and fast online apply-and-compare system. The efficient database can lead to quick extra cash for approved applicants.

DETROIT, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LoansForPoorCredit is a leading online adverse credit loan comparison service with a new approach to researching and applying for short term online loans. The site has added a wider selection of affiliated independent lenders into its circle to provide for greater consumer choice and options, more search results and a high chance of approval for applicants.

In addition to offering search processes for no credit check loans and payday loans, LoansForPoorCredit goes one step further to help customers by applying directly to lenders via an online application form. This form is secure, confidential and routes directly into the lenders' databases to provide maximum matching results. Within a few seconds after submitting the form, a customer will be notified of how many loan companies are in a position to offer a loan.

A spokesperson for LoansForPoorCredit made the announcement.

"LoansForPoorCredit is constantly looking for ways to up the ante when it comes to aggregating the many pay day loans lenders online. Especially at this pricey time of year, many individuals could benefit from a little extra cash for living expenses, car costs, home improvements or the holidays. This is why we have pulled out all the stops and introduced even more top drawer specialist lenders into our network. We are happy to announce the results of our wider inclusion of lenders can now be experienced for free in our new and improved apply-and-compare system."

The spokesperson had some useful advice for customers looking for short term loans until next payday and unsure how to differentiate between lenders.

"When considering an online payday lender, consumers should look for a trusted and well-established company. We only feature household name lenders with excellent track records for approval and lending. Next, consumers should carefully read the interest rates offered. There are a lot of different products out there, so customers would be well advised to take their time when selecting one. Not all cash lenders are the same and rates can differ wildly from one to the next. Consumers should take their time to make the best choice for their finances."

Fleetwood Mac Live 2013 Tour Announced

First Date April 4th in Columbus, Ohio

Tickets On Sale Beginning December 14th

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetwood Mac, one of rock's most enduring, beloved and successful bands, will be embarking on a major 34-city US Tour after a three year break beginning April 4(th), 2013. The tour was announced today by the group and Live Nation, the tour's national promoter. Fleetwood Mac Live 2013 arena tour includes stops in Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Chicago and a special appearance at the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Tickets for the first run of shows go on sale beginning December 14(th) at Ticketmaster.com. 

American Express cardmembers can get advance tickets for all tour dates.  Live Nation mobile app users will have access to presale tickets beginning Thursday, December 13th at 10:00 AM (local time).  The full list of tour dates follows this release.

Multi Grammy-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2009 with the sold out Unleashed tour.  The new tour also marks the 35(th) anniversary of the release of their classic Rumours album (1977), one of the most successful albums in recorded history with sales exceeding 40 million copies.  Rumours planted itself at the top of the pop charts for over 31 weeks and had four top ten singles.   

To coincide with the tour and anniversary, a new deluxe reissue of Rumours with previously unreleased studio and live tracks will be released in early 2013 from Rhino. More details on the set will be announced soon.

The current Fleetwood Mac lineup includes Mick Fleetwood and John McVie - both original members since 1967, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined the band in 1975.

"Having started Fleetwood Mac with John McVie in 1967, it has always been so gratifying that despite the various incarnations, the band has survived. Throughout the years, though, the one thing that has remained constant is our fans. I am looking forward to getting back behind the kit, reconnecting with the fans and sharing the stage with my fellow band members," commented Mick Fleetwood.

"After spending four days at Lindsey's house working on music and one really fun day doing a crazy photo session, I am quite excited about next year.  Everything seems to be falling into place.  2013 looks like the year of Fleetwood Mac," commented Stevie Nicks.

"I'm really looking forward to hitting the road with Stevie, Mick and John in 2013.  It's been over three years since we've toured together and happily the break allowed me to explore a lot of uncharted territory as well as experience tremendous growth creatively.  I'm excited to bring that back to the band.  When everyone in FM wants the same thing at the same time, it's cause for celebration.  Long Live Fleetwood Mac!" added Lindsey Buckingham.

"I'm really looking forward to going back on the road," commented John McVie.

Nicks has just completed a two year tour coinciding with the release of her critically acclaimed In Your Dreams CD which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Pop Charts.  InYour Dreams was released on Reprise Records in 2011, and was co-written and co-produced by Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard.  Nicks also produced and co-directed a documentary film of the recording of In Your Dreams which has received rave reviews at the Hamptons International Film Festival along with several other film festivals. 

Buckingham has been touring to sold-out crowds over the last year in conjunction with his critically acclaimed September 2011 release of Seeds We Sow, his 6(th) solo studio album and first independent release, which debuted at No. 6 on Billboard's Rock Album Chart. He was recently honored with ASCAP's Golden Note Award, and has also received the prestigious Les Paul Award. 

In August, Mick Fleetwood opened his brand new restaurant, Fleetwood's On Front Street, in Lahaina on Maui. The grand opening included musical performances by Mick, Steven Tyler, Jonny Lang and more. Mick also founded Mick Fleetwood's Private Cellar, which has produced over 20 vintages and varietals earning multiple medals in international tastings. Mick's band, The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, was nominated for a Grammy in 2010 for their album Blue Again.

John McVie has spent the past three years enjoying his family and solitude at home in Hawaii.

Elephanti Brings Main Street Fun Back to Shopping

Revolutionary New Model Set to Counter Brick & Mortar "Showrooming"

NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CyberLMJ, an advanced solutions development company, announced today the official launch of Elephanti, a powerful tool designed to bring the convenience of the internet to in-store shopping. Every Elephanti merchant offers each Elephanti member a guaranteed discount on everything in store anytime they check-in. With nearly 1,000 businesses signed in New York and San Francisco, Elephanti merchants are beginning to see the benefits as members begin to shop smarter.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121204/NY23153LOGO )

The free application offers its members a convenient, one stop shop where they get the inside track on merchants, brands and services they are passionate about, discover new places and receive guaranteed member discounts - whether for milk or for shoes. For merchants and brands, Elephanti offers a way to connect with their customers, be featured on a mobile app and benefit from the booming social world.

"This is a new model - there is nothing available like Elephanti and we've seen a terrific response from merchants and consumers so far," said CEO and founder Lalin Jinasena. "There's no question that retailers are looking for successful ways to connect with today's digital consumer and reward them for buying in-store. At the same time, shoppers are seeking ways to cut through the noise of random deals to be rewarded in somewhere they visit regularly as well as know they will get a deal when they want it on something special."

With Elephanti's innovative advertising model, merchants can post additional offers on the application for free and only pay Elephanti if a member checks-in to the store. Members can browse relevant offers in the application and receive an everyday guaranteed discount just for checking in, driving in-store traffic and rewarding loyalty.

Elephanti has launched in New York and San Francisco and is available for merchants and consumers across the nation to sign up, bringing Elephanti benefits to their town. The app can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. To create a merchant profile, please go to:  http://www.Elephanti.com

How It Works

Members sign up to Elephanti and tell Elephanti the stores, brands and venues they love.  They can follow brands and retailers, search for items they are interested in and make an intelligent shopping list of items they would like to buy. When they activate the list with one click, they will see the best merchants and routes to take to buy all of the items they're interested in. By checking-in to a store they will earn a guaranteed everyday discount and check-ins are private by default.

Merchants sign up through Elephanti's website for free and create a profile to promote their products and services. They receive the benefits of a virtual storefront and mobile presence and merchants can enable a loyalty program without the high cost normally associated with creating one. With Elephanti's innovative ad model, offers can be posted in the app without cost. Merchants pay Elephanti only when a member checks in.

About Elephanti

Founded in 2011 by Lalin Jinasena, Elephanti is an innovative new application and website which connects merchants and shoppers for a smarter shopping experience. Its mission is to create a platform which gives businesses the tools to bring shoppers back into brick and mortar locations and members the ability to cut through the noise of random deals to embrace relevant offers and discounts.

Elephanti is a platform for both merchants and shoppers. Merchants receive a free virtual storefront, mobile presence, loyalty program and access to the innovative check-in ad model to drive foot traffic into stores.

"The Human Face of Big Data" Large Format Illustrated Book is Being Delivered Today by FedEx to 10,000 of the World's Most Influential People, Including World Leaders, Fortune 500 CEOs, and Nobel Laureates

Book Aims to Spark a Global Conversation About a Set of Tools and Technologies that Many Experts Believe Will Have a Greater Impact on Our World Than the Internet

SAUSALITO, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, in 30 countries around the globe, 10,000 copies of an extraordinary illustrated book called The Human Face of Big Data are arriving courtesy of EMC(®) (NYSE: EMC) and delivered by FedEx, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., the official shipping sponsor, on the desks of the world's most influential people, including: United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi,UK Prime Minister David Cameron, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, Actor Robin Williams, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Warren Buffett, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey and Jane Goodall.

The book contains more than 200 stunning images and compelling essays, created by a team of over 100 of the world's most talented writers, designers and photojournalists, illustrating just some of the ways big data is already helping to shape and address many of the biggest challenges facing our planet. The concept of the book, and of The Human Face of Big Data project, revolves around the idea that our planet is developing a nervous system that many data experts believe will soon have a greater impact on our lives than the Internet. The book is accompanied by an interactive iPad app, which also launched today.

This ambitious project, conceived by "Day in the Life" series creator Rick Smolan and his partner Jennifer Erwitt, is made possible by primary sponsor EMC, along with support from Cisco and FedEx.

"Our goal is to help people better understand, visualize and navigate the wild and uncharted territory of Big Data," said Rick Smolan. "Big Data is just that - BIG. But, it's a term that is largely misunderstood and difficult to explain. This book and the accompanying interactive iPad app are designed to take readers on a journey of discovery about a topic that is going to completely transform the world our children will inherit. It's already enabling our kids to live healthier and happier lives; providing our seniors with independence while keeping them safe; helping us conserve our precious resources like water and energy; allowing us to peer into our own individual genetic makeup, and soon may allow us to alter our own species. All this and we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible."

The aim of simultaneously placing the book into the hands of 10,000 global influencers is to ignite a conversation about an extraordinary knowledge revolution that's sweeping, almost invisibly, through business, academia, government, health care and everyday life. This revolution is enabling humanity to sense, measure, understand and affect aspects of our existence in ways our ancestors could never imagined in their wildest dreams.

The Human Face of Big Data book will be the first book of its kind to be powered by an interactive viewer app from Aurasma. The free app brings the book's content to life by enabling readers to access video and other additional Internet content by simply pointing the camera on their smartphone or tablet towards flagged photos within the book. The free Human Face of Big Data Viewer app is available for download on iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/human-face-of-big-data-viewer/id573317206?mt=8) and Android devices (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aurasma.skinned.human_face_of_big_data_viewer).

Groundbreaking iPad App

In addition to the book, a groundbreaking Human Face of Big Data iPad app will enable users to interact and explore stories from the book, including videos, interactive charts and graphics. It will transport users into a Big Data ecosystem that is beginning to address some of the biggest challenges facing our species. The app costs $2.99 and is available for download today (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/big-data-tablet-app/id579041860?ls=1&mt=8). All proceeds from app downloads will be donated to Charity: water, a non profit organization bringing clear, safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Some of the stories told in the large format book and iPad app, include:

    --  Elephant seals equipped with antennas on their heads to map the oceans
    --  Satellites being used to target mosquitoes to help us better understand
        malaria
    --  An SMS system preventing the sale of counterfeit medicines in Ghana

    --  Credit cards that know two years before you do that you're headed toward
        divorce

Good Technology Introduces Good Vault - The First Identity & Access Management Solution for Secure Email on iOS Devices

Good Vault(TM) extends strong two-factor authentication and Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) email signing and encryption to Good for Enterprise(TM) to enhance data protection

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology(TM), the leader in secure enterprise mobility, today introduced Good Vault(TM), the first product built on the newly introduced Good Trust(TM) mobile identity and access management (IAM) platform. Good Vault extends strong two-factor authentication and S/MIME security to Good's award-winning Good for Enterprise(TM) email application. Leveraging Good Vault, highly regulated organizations in the government, healthcare and financial services industries can more effectively battle escalating mobile security threats while meeting compliance regulations.  The new solution was unveiled at the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit taking place December 3-5(th) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"Mobility has been the ultimate disruptive technology. The number of bring your own device (BYOD) programs is increasing within enterprises and application authentication is not immune from this influence," said Michael W. Mahan, senior vice president of special markets for Good Technology, who leads the Good Trust product line. "BYOD impacts the controls and management options available to the enterprise--underscoring the need for more flexible and extendable secure access solutions. At Good, we believe that mobile two-factor authentication is on track to become the dominant force in the IAM market and we intend to lead the pack in its adoption with our Good Trust platform and the Good Vault solution."

According to recent research by Gartner, IAM processes and technologies make significant contributions to the business strategies and technologies that are among CIOs' higher priorities.[1] Good Vault allows IT, Security, and Information Assurance leaders to:

    --  Ensure integrity and security of corporate email and data
    --  Prevent data loss using S/MIME[2] encryption with credentials stored in
        a Secure Element
    --  Drive employee adoption with convenience and portability
    --  Meet stringent compliance regulations and security standards
    --  Better comply with HSPD-12, FIPS, FFIEC, PCI-DSS, HITEC, HIPAA and other
        regulatory standards
    --  Leverage current IAM investments to increase ROI and extend mobility
    --  Lower overall costs for mobile IAM
Unlike other authentication solutions for mobile devices, Good Vault leverages a Secure Element on a microSD or smart card, enabling strong authentication without compromising the mobile form factor or the user experience. Access to Good for Enterprise is secured through card-based authentication, and mobile email messages are encrypted and signed to ensure privacy and integrity. Good Vault requires four components:

    --  A hardware-based Secure Element to store user credentials and keys; this
        comes in two options:
        --  Smart card
        --  MicroSD card
    --  A slim Sleeve/Reader that slides onto the phone and stores the smart
        card or microSD card
        --  The Good Vault smart card reader--provided by Precise
            Biometrics--which is a casing that adds smart card readers to the
            iPhone 4 or 4S. The reader is designed so that the iPhone maintains
            its sleek design adding only ½ inch (16 mm) in length, 0.16 inches
            (4mm) in width, and 0.22 inches (5.7 mm) in thickness, and weighs
            only 1.5oz (41g).
        --  The microSD reader, supplied by HID  Global®, which is a slim
            casing for the iPhone 4 or 4S that contains a slot for inserting the
            microSD card, and;
    --  HID Global's ActivID Credential Management System to issue and manage
        the microSD cards for either primary or derived credentials.
    --  Server side software that is a Web-based Admin console for configuring
        Good Vault.
The above components work together to provide enterprises the benefits of two-factor authentication without adding cumbersome standalone readers - reducing solution complexity and overall costs, while streamlining deployment and adoption.

Good Technology and HID Global have been working together to mobilize smart cards and the underlying secure element technology for use within mobile devices for over a year now. Good Vault is the first product to integrate the authentication tools needed to enable secure access to organizational systems using highly popular mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.

"Supporting a mobile and wireless workforce is becoming an increasingly critical, yet somewhat daunting task for many corporations and governments today due to the increasing number of mobile attacks and security breaches," said Jerome Becquart, vice president and general manager of Identity Assurance with HID Global, Good's strategic IAM development partner.  "Now, as a result of our partnership with Good, companies with highly mobile workforces can provide digital keys over-the-air and to employees' phones and use them to access all of their enterprise resources from anywhere in the world--just like they had previously been doing with their photo ID cards, keyfobs or tags--without compromising security."

Good Vault is immediately available for download in the iTunes App Store. End users must first be licensed for Good for Enterprise and Good Vault to activate the application.

Good Technology Unveils Good Trust - A New Mobile Identity & Access Management Platform

Platform allows developers and ISV's to integrate single sign-on capability with two-factor authentication to mobile apps built with Good Dynamics®

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, Dec. 4,  2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology(TM), the leader in secure enterprise mobility, today introduced Good Trust(TM), a security platform that extends critical identity and access management (IAM) capabilities-- such as strong authentication, single sign-on and identity federation-- to mobile devices and applications. Developers, ISVs and IT managers that have built mobile enterprise apps using the Good Dynamics® app security platform will be able to leverage the robust set of API's available through the Good Trust platform to customize each mobile application experience based on user identity.  In conjunction with today's announcement, Good also unveiled Good Vault(TM), the first product to be delivered through the Good Trust platform, which incorporates IAM capabilities and encryption to Good for Enterprise(TM) to enhance data protection. Both Good Trust and Good Vault were launched at the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit taking place December 3-5(th) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120125/AQ41496LOGO-b)

"The 'bring your own device' (BYOD) phenomenon has made mobile devices the dominant screen for use by today's workforce, causing them to become the target of increased malicious attacks and fraud," said Nicko van Someren, Chief Technology Officer, Good Technology. "Escalating security threats, coupled with the explosion of mobile applications, are necessitating the need for a second-layer of mobile security to ensure the protection of enterprise information and assets."

The critical IAM capabilities that will be delivered through the Good Trust platform include:

    --  Strong two-factor authentication at the application level to assert
        identity
    --  Access control that leverages existing infrastructure and can be
        centrally managed by IT
    --  Single sign-on to easily switch between applications
    --  Identity federation to create economies of scale;  and
    --  Context-based policy enforcement to strengthen security.
According to a recent report by Ian Glazer, research vice president at Gartner, currently, there is a loose connection between MDM and IAM products. Today, IAM tools can assign Active Directory (AD) groups that can then be used by MDM solutions to enforce policy and even distribute certificates. However, Gartner expects a deepening and more meaningful relationship between MDM and IAM to arise in the next few years.[1]

The Good Trust platform will offer a versatile digital authentication framework that can support a wide array of mobile authentication technologies including microSD, smart cards, OTP, and biometrics. It will also offer the ability to create adaptive and context-based authentication that can automatically adjust to the user's environment and solutions.

Using Good Trust, enterprises will be able to architect mobile applications that:

    --  Increase mobile worker productivity with authentication and seamless
        single sign-on from mobile apps to remote services and data stores
    --  Meet compliance mandates by restricting access to sensitive resources
        only to authorized users
    --  Improve IT efficiency and manageability of mobile apps with self-service
        provisioning and identity governance
    --  Enable mobile devices to deliver secure access to buildings or conduct
        safe and private financial transactions.
"In today's rapidly expanding and diversified BYOD workplace, IT leaders must balance risks and benefits: the enterprise need for security, compliance and manageability of mobile applications, versus employee and customer demand for flexibility and accessibility," said Michael W. Mahan, senior vice president of special markets for Good Technology, who leads the Good Trust line of business.  "Good Trust will enable new ways to leverage personal identity to enhance mobile security so that companies no longer have to make tradeoffs. They will be able to allow employees, customers and consumers to securely access enterprise systems, physical buildings or even their bank account using their mobile device without jeopardizing sensitive personal or business data."

The Good Trust platform will also provide the essential workflows, developer tools, APIs and integrations that allow IT to centrally manage user provisioning, access permissions, and application life cycle management with full audit control to ensure compliance and complete data governance. Leveraging Good Trust, ISVs and enterprise or B2C app developers will be able to rapidly include IAM capabilities in mobile apps built with Good Dynamics®, which helps speed app development and deployment and drive user adoption and satisfaction.

CA Technologies Delivers Enhanced Management and Governance Solutions for Amazon Web Services

MUMBAI, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    New Capabilities Target Enterprise Cloud Computing for Business-critical Applications
and Services

    CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), the leader in cloud systems management software*, today
announced it is offering enhanced management and governance capabilities powered by Amazon
Web Services (AWS).

    Enterprise customers rely on CA Technologies solutions - including CA Automation Suite
for Clouds [http://www.ca.com/us/cloud-automation.aspx ], CA Application Performance
Management [http://www.ca.com/us/application-management.aspx ], CA Nimsoft Cloud Monitor
[http://www.nimsoft.com/solutions/nimsoft-cloud-user-experience.html ] and CA ARCserve(R)
[http://www.arcserve.com/us/default.aspx ] - to manage, monitor and protect applications
and services running on AWS.

    At the AWS re: Invent [https://reinvent.awsevents.com ] customer and partner
conference in Las Vegas, CA Technologies unveiled robust solutions developed on AWS within
CA Automation Suite for Clouds. With this new integration, customers can streamline and
govern the provisioning of AWS services, allowing them to rapidly move workloads to the
cloud. This enables customers to realise even faster time to value for cloud deployments
and greater agility as their resource needs change.

    "While enterprises are moving computing resources to third-party cloud service
providers to give them increased flexibility, scalability and responsiveness in meeting
rapidly changing business demands; CIOs have been slower to consider cloud environments
for their business-critical applications because of perceived concerns about the ability
to manage or govern those resources," said Roger Pilc, General Manager, Industries,
Solutions & Alliances, CA Technologies. "With our offerings developed on AWS, we're
helping to remove some of those barriers, giving enterprises the management, monitoring
and governance capabilities they are accustomed to using in their on-premise systems and
cloud environments."

    "As we work closely with our enterprise customers, we understand that they are looking
for a wide range of options to manage and govern their applications, services and
resources on AWS," said Terry Wise, Head of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, Amazon Web
Services. "Many enterprise customers already use CA Technologies solutions on premise, and
by enabling these customers to extend these capabilities to AWS, enterprises are able to
deploy critical workloads in the cloud while maintaining similar operational and
governance frameworks that they do on premise."

    Additional features of CA Automation Suite for Clouds Powered by Amazon Web Services
include:

       
        - Enterprise Lifecycle Management of AWS Services
        - Pre-designed workflows and approvals for automated self-service delivery of
          infrastructure and application services within the AWS Cloud
        - Governance and Administration

Technology and Healthcare Companies' Partner to Help Patients

SOUTHAMPTON, England, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Clinova is using augmented reality platform Aurasma on its products to help patients
better understand how to use and administer consumer healthcare products. The technology
was created by Cambridge-based software company Autonomy
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corporation ] and will be available on all Clinova's
products including O.R.S, a soluble tablet form of the oral rehydration salts formula.
O.R.S is presently one of the UK's best selling consumer healthcare products.

    Aurasma, the world's leading augmented reality platform, is a free app for iPhones,
iPads and high-powered Android devices that uses advanced image and pattern recognition
technology to blend the real-world with rich interactive content such as videos and
animations. This means Aurasma is capable of delivering relevant user information in
multiple languages by simply pointing the camera on a smart device at the product's
packaging.

    Clinova will be using the video feature to provide users of O.R.S with simple
instructions on how best to use the product in six different languages, ensuring those
patients who have a foreign language as their first choice language can access the app and
better understand how to use O.R.S and Clinova's other consumer healthcare products.

    Andrew Lane, Vice Chairman of the National Pharmacy Association is delighted that two
UK based technology companies are embracing innovative technology to help patient's better
use their medicines and healthcare products.

    Clinova, the UK based global pharmaceutical company is planning to rollout the
technology for all its products and Clinova is one of first companies to use the
technology on a consumer healthcare product. Aurasma hopes it is replicated on many more
medical products and technology.

    Matt Mills, Head of Global Partnerships at Aurasma, comments: "It's vital that
patients understand how to use pharmaceuticals in the right way to ensure the most
effective benefits. Aurasma is the perfect way for a patient to get quick and clear visual
instructions straight from the pack on how to administer the product properly and safely.
We're delighted that Clinova are using our technology to augment their packs and commend
their innovative use of our technology in their mission to improve outcomes for patients."

    Scot McAllister, Physiotherapist, Yorkshire County Cricket Club, comments: "In any
team sport, each player must be able to perform at the top of their game. One way
performance is impacted is through the loss of vital fluids and electrolytes and it's
important that these fluids are replaced to help support the body's recovery. Oral
rehydration salts, like O.R.S tablets, are a great way to help the players stay hydrated
and avoid any feelings of sluggishness or lack of energy. Whenever the players are looking
for a fluid boost they have access to the Aurasma technology to understand the optimum
rehydration requirements."

Successful Launch of EUTELSAT 70B Satellite by Sea Launch

PARIS, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that its EUTELSAT 70B
satellite has been successfully delivered into orbit by a Zenit-3SL rocket operated by Sea
Launch AG from the ocean-based Odyssey Launch Platform in international waters of the
Pacific Ocean.

    Lift-off of the rocket carrying the 5.2 tonne satellite took place on Monday 3
December at 20.44 GMT/UTC. After a 1-hour 6-minute flight, the Zenit-3SL booster released
EUTELSAT 70B into geosynchronous transfer orbit. Partial deployment of the solar array was
carried out successfully approximately two hours after spacecraft separation.

    Following early orbit operations managed by Eutelsat and Astrium engineers and which
include circularising the satellite's orbit, fully extending the solar arrays and
deploying the antennas, EUTELSAT 70B will undergo a full series of in-orbit tests. The
latest satellite to Eutelsat's fleet is expected to enter full commercial service in
mid-January 2013.

    Commenting after launch and the first manoeuvres, Eutelsat CEO, Michel de Rosen said:
"We are delighted to announce that EUTELSAT 70B is on its way to 70.5 degrees East and
thank Sea Launch, Energia Logistics and RSC Energia for this flawless launch. With a
footprint connecting Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, EUTELSAT 70B will be a powerful
asset to our in-orbit resources. Its reach into Asia will also be a strong complement to
the EUTELSAT 172A satellite integrated into our fleet in September following the
acquisition of this satellite from GE Capital."

    Built for Eutelsat by Astrium using its E3000 platform, EUTELSAT 70B is designed to
optimise resources from the 70.5degree(s) East orbital slot. With high frequency reuse,
four powerful regional beams connected to 48 Ku-band transponders are located on a single
platform, more than doubling current capacity at 70.5degree(s) East for data and
government services, broadband access, GSM backhauling and professional video exchanges.

    EUTELSAT 70B will replace the EUTELSAT 70A satellite which will subsequently be
redeployed to another location for continued commercial service.

It's Outta Here! Outbid Online Auction Launches Outbid Sports, Makes Bidding for Sports Collectibles a Frenetically Fun, Competitive Event

Outbid teams up with such sports legends as Marv Levy and Ferguson Jenkins, introduces fast-paced events for fans to get the best in sports memorabilia

OAKLAND, Calif. & NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Outbid (http://www.outbid.com), which combines the theater and transparency of live online auctions with social and gaming features, today at the Baseball Winter Meetings(TM) announces that it is launching weekly sports-themed programming for fans to land prized sports collectibles in a full-throttle auction via the web or on their iPhone or iPad. Upcoming Outbid auctions - energizing, live competitions where frenzied participants try to outbid one another in real time - will give fans the rare chance to hear Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins, four-time Super Bowl coach Marv Levy and other sports giants offer their insights and field questions in this innovative format.

Outbid is represented by Jenkins in Booth #108 at the Baseball Trade Show at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, which is held in conjunction with the Baseball Winter Meetings(TM), the annual convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, Inc.

Much like the games they love to follow, sports fans can jump into the Outbid auction fray and experience the thrilling bidding battles and, like the athletes they admire, get their competitive juices flowing as they try to land autographed commemorative equipment, keepsakes and collectibles, from Super Bowl footballs to sports cards.

"Outbid wants to turn it up a notch, and give sports fans the chance to join in the online auction fun and bid on everything from collectible pennants to a promo card containing a piece of the dress Britney Spears wore at the Super Bowl XXXV halftime show," said Outbid CEO Dan Granger. "Because Outbid has been built on delivering auction excitement since day one, it's a no brainer to open the service up to sports fan interested in channeling their competitive spirit into these scheduled gatherings that celebrate the love of the game."

Outbid turns the online auction on its head by making what was once a static, plodding affair into a live event, complete with audio and a live auctioneer playfully prodding participants. Anyone from a retired athlete to a comedian to an author on a book tour can co-host, interact with bidders and provide color commentary to accentuate the auction.

This combination of ecommerce, social and gamification is changing the way online auctions are conducted while turning smart devices, such as the iPhone or iPad, into a way for anyone to remotely participate, no matter where they are. Bidders can tap the enlarged buttons on their smart device screens, which allow them to instantly place their bids in rapid-fire contests where an item is typically purchased in less than three minutes.

"Just when you think you've seen it all, Outbid comes along and not only changes the way sports fan can get their most coveted collectibles, but turns it into a entertaining event that plays out like a game," said Marv Levy, who is hosting his own Outbid auction at 4 p.m. PT Dec. 17. "I'm looking forward to co-hosting as well as having the chance to meet fans in this whole new, innovative arena." The auction will benefit Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, a non-profit organization that is providing financial grants and "pro bono" medical assistance to retired NFL players in dire need.

Outbid is owned by NASDAQ-quoted Copart, Inc. (http://www.copart.com), which developed the patented VB2 online auction technology. Outbid was the vision of Jay Adair, CEO of Copart, who led the creation of Outbid as a type of "virtual lemonade stand" so that his children could safely sell what they made to friends and family.

Outbid auctions are free to join or create. Sign up at http://www.outbid.com, check out the schedule of upcoming sport auctions - or hold your own and invite your friends to join in.

Popular Remax.com Offers New Online Experience

Intuitive and Personalized Features Help Home Buyers, Sellers

DENVER, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, consumers will enjoy an entirely new experience on remax.com, the most visited real estate franchise website.  RE/MAX is the first real estate franchisor to provide a consistent web experience across desktops, tablets, and smart phones. As the culmination of a strategic, yearlong roll-out of new consumer-focused technology tools, the new website will build on its #1 reputation to become even more popular with consumers and more influential in the real estate industry.

More than just a redesign, the new remax.com offers a simple user-interface, along with an ability to create personal preferences, giving home buyers and sellers easy access to what matters most: millions of home listings with larger photos, helpful information, and a property inventory larger than any other real estate brand site.

"Because today's consumers start their home search online, we want to simplify and personalize their experience as much as possible," said Margaret Kelly, RE/MAX CEO.  "Remax.com utilizes state-of-the-art technologies and is the most sophisticated technology tool we have ever released.  Everyone will enjoy the ease of use and the depth of information available on the new remax.com."

Remax.com now gives each visitor an individualized experience beginning with a home page that continually updates to reflect their search pattern and preferences.  The search experience is more powerful than ever - featuring data on more than 87 million properties nationwide, both for sale and those previously sold. This gives every visitor a complete market perspective on any home they're considering buying or selling.

For users on the go, the new remax.com becomes the latest addition to the RE/MAX Mobile Suite, as it is both mobile-ready and tablet-friendly. Users can tap and swipe through oversized photos of property listings with easy-to-use controls. Other features include a "Quiet Mode" that allows visitors to turn off all other content and text on a page to focus on the large-scale property images. And, home buyers can save listings, share them via social networks and rank them based on their desirability or their "Awesomeness" factor.

Collaborating with RE/MAX on the development of the new website were four respected technology companies.  Homes.com created the consumer-facing platform and mobile capability.  1000Watt was a strategic consultant providing the visual design and user experience.  The Search Agency designed the SEO architecture and integration.  And Reliance Networks is powering the agent-facing components and commercial property platform. 

Together, the innovative developments released today add to the legacy of the RE/MAX online presence.  As the most-visited real estate franchise website, remax.com attracts over 4 million total visits each month.  Additionally, the word 'RE/MAX' remains the most searched keyword among real estate brokerages.   

Earlier this year, RE/MAX launched a complete new mobile suite including the RE/MAX mobile app, available via the App Store or Android Marketplace, and a new iPad app. Last November, RE/MAX also launched the industry's first truly global online real estate online resource, global.remax.com, which offers nearly 700,000 listings in more than 60 countries and draws more than 2 million total visits each month. And in October, remaxcommercial.com, a new, standalone RE/MAX Commercial website, made its debut.

The RE/MAX network enjoys #1 market share in the United States and its agents are regularly recognized for being the most productive among the national franchise brands.  RE/MAX will celebrate its 40(th) anniversary in 2013 with special events planned for the annual RE/MAX R4 Convention February 24 to 28 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For more information, visit remax.com or joinremax.com.

About the RE/MAX Network

RE/MAX was founded in 1973 by Dave and Gail Liniger, real estate industry visionaries who still lead the Denver-based global franchisor today. RE/MAX is recognized as one of the leading real estate franchise companies with the most productive sales force in the industry and a global reach of more than 85 countries.

Nobody in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.

With a passion for the communities in which its agents live and work, RE/MAX is proud to have raised more than $120 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and other charities.
