Novo Nordisk introduces HemaGo, a mobile application to track hemophilia treatment, bleeding episodes and life events

New Application Will Be Available for iPhone, iPad and Android products

PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Novo Nordisk announced today the introduction of HemaGo, a mobile application (app) to help individuals with hemophilia and their caregivers monitor the details of treatment, including medications, dosing, bleed information and the impact of hemophilia on life events. 

The app offers multiple profiles so that more than one family member can use the tool.  HemaGo helps them track multiple medications, set reminders for treatment or doctor's appointments.  As well, HemaGo can be used to record factor usage and reason for infusion; the type, location and duration of bleeding events; and pain scores, including the impact of the bleeding episode on the individual's participation in work or school. 

"For the first time, individuals can track virtually every aspect of living with a bleeding disorder, regardless of their medication or disorder," said Eddie Williams, Corporate Vice President, Biopharmaceuticals.  "Thanks to input from members in the hemophilia community, we've created a first in class offering that provides benefits to all hemophilia patients and healthcare professionals."

Information from the HemaGo app syncs to Novo Nordisk's Changing Possibilities in Hemophilia website (http://www.changingpossibilities-us.com).  At the site, individuals have access to comprehensive reporting features, including treatment logs, bleed logs, and quality of life reports.  This information may be shared with the individual's healthcare team, including their hemophilia treatment center and home healthcare company. 

Novo Nordisk does not have access to patient-specific information.  The company's access is restricted to generic information ("de-identified") in which the data has been stripped so that the individual source cannot be identified, in accordance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules. 

Novo Nordisk is working with the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) to enable patients who choose the option to link their diary data with their other medical records on ATHN's national database of bleeding disorder treatment information. 

HemaGo was developed with the participation of Novo Nordisk's Consumer Council, which is comprised of bleeding disorder community members.

HemaGo is available for free download at http://www.changingpossibilities-us.com.  The Android version is expected to be available in November 2012.  The app's tools are also available from the website for individuals who do not have a mobile device.

SENSA® Products Launches its SENSA® Corporate Wellness Program

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SENSA® Products announced the launch of its SENSA® Corporate Wellness Program, which provides an innovative and effective weight management solution for employers, health plans and associations to help their employees improve their weight and lead healthier lives.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121127/LA18992LOGO)

Well-known leaders in the healthcare community have recently added the SENSA® Corporate Wellness Program to their health discount platforms. Large employers, professional associations and voluntary benefit outsourcing leaders are also utilizing the Program to support employees with healthy weight management.

Studies have found that the obesity epidemic is at an all-time high and projected to increase to half of the U.S. population by 2030.  Obesity directly costs U.S. companies more than $13 billion a year in medical fees and lost productivity, and accounts for 39 million lost workdays each year.  Research shows that losing just five to 10 percent of your body weight significantly reduces the risk of obesity-related diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and cancer. 

The SENSA® Corporate Wellness Program is designed to help people lose weight safely, effectively and affordably.  The Program offers employees and members the SENSA® Weight-Loss System as a wellness benefit at a reduced price; weight-loss tips and articles to help educate and motivate employees; free unlimited access to an online support community; and free online health and wellness tools, such as personalized meals plans, healthy recipes, mobile apps and customized fitness plans.

"Research shows that healthy employees are more engaged, more productive, absent less frequently, and tend to have lower healthcare costs," said Kristin Chadwick, President of SENSA® Products, LLC.  "The ultimate goal of the SENSA® Corporate Wellness Program is to provide employees with a safe and effective weight-loss solution that can help them reach their weight-loss goals and live a healthier life."

The SENSA® Weight-Loss System enhances the natural smell and taste of food to help speed up the process of feeling full and satisfied, so clients eat less and lose weight- ultimately helping companies trim some fat off the bottom line with long-term healthcare savings from creating a healthier workforce.

If your business is interested in implementing a new wellness program, please contact the SENSA® Corporate Wellness Department at 855-755-5458 or CorporateWellness@Sensa.com.  For more information, visit http://www.trysensa.com/CorporateWellness.

About SENSA®
SENSA® is a leading weight-loss tool and lifestyle brand that has helped hundreds of thousands of people lose weight without traditional dieting, stimulants or pills. Based on 25 years of research and testing from Dr. Alan Hirsch, this revolutionary weight-loss system uses science and your sense of smell to help you lose weight.

CivicRush Introduces Online "Civic Dating" to Match People with Charities on #GivingTuesday

New social networking service uses dating-site technology to connect volunteers and social causes

LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CivicRush, the civic social network, launched a new "Civic Dating" search engine today, on #GivingTuesday, that uses dating-site technology to match users with causes and organizations that best match their civic priorities. The new online platform is free for users.

Successful dating sites match individuals based on personal preferences and interests that can lead to long-lasting, meaningful relationships. CivicRush uses a similar concept to match people with the causes they would most likely support. Built on an intelligent platform that improves the matching process the more people use it, CivicRush facilitates an intelligent match based on core beliefs, interests, skills, and schedule.

"One of the most common questions when it comes to charitable activities is, 'How can I get involved?' Many people want to help during the holidays, either through financial support or volunteering, but they often don't know where to start," said Ed Bouryng, president and CEO of CivicRush. "Today, on #GivingTuesday, CivicRush helps answer that question by intelligently connecting supporters and volunteers with the charitable organizations. By harnessing the power and popularity of social networking, CivicRush helps users discover good causes and make real contributions of time, energy and money to enact change."

CivicRush is free and open to anyone. The site was successfully launched in October in Lexington, Ky., where Mayor Jim Gray got behind the effort as a way to encourage citizens to get involved in their local community. The CivicRush matching engine is a primary component of CitizenLex.org, a new media platform that uses citizens to crowd source new solutions and ideas for the city. CitizenLex was named a Top 20 finalist in the 2012 Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge, a competition created to inspire American cities to generate innovative ideas that solve major challenges and improve city life. Winners will be announced in spring 2013.

"CivicRush is playing a key role in helping us build a Great American City through innovation and citizenship," Gray said. "There is incredible organizing power in social networking, and Lexington is proud to be home to a civic social network that is using that power to encourage and empower people to get involved in their communities."

Major features of the site include:

    --  Matchmaking technology that pairs volunteers with opportunities based on
        core beliefs, interests, skills, locations, and schedules.
    --  Donation platform that allows individuals to give money, goods or
        services to any 501(c)(3) charity or good cause, anywhere in the U.S.
    --  A tax-deductible virtual currency (Civ) that allows users to easily
        contribute across platforms using a common denominator.
    --  Centralized giving and year-end tax reporting for donors.
    --  Civic social networking is a powerful enabler to increase civic
        involvement in the community. CivicRush, the civic social network,
        empowers users to become force multipliers by quickly telling others
        about the activities they're involved in, recruiting friends and
        amplifying their impact. CivicRush integrates seamlessly with other
        platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
    --  CivicRush scores users' engagement to provide a measure of their overall
        civic involvement. A Civic Score is earned by individuals, companies,
        cities and more to show their overall civic footprint. Each user's Civic
        Resume becomes an independently verified catalog of good deeds. It is
        especially valuable for those entering the job market or applying for
        college, and can be used by businesses that encourage civic engagement
        through corporate social responsibility programs.
    --  For non-profit organizations, CivicRush works to engage supporters
        through the civic social network, increasing followers and supporting
        development efforts by facilitating donations of time, goods, services
        and financial support.
    --  For businesses, governments and educational institutions, CivicRush
        helps employers give employees ultimate giving choice to any 501(c)(3)
        charity with automatic payroll deductions; provides an independent
        accounting of civic and social contributions; and facilitates internal
        charitable giving programs with its tax-deductible Civ currency.
Here's what others are saying about CivicRush:

"Community support is one of the key ingredients that make Volunteers of America of Kentucky so successful. Having access to a tool like CivicRush helps us connect directly with people who want to help some of our community's most vulnerable citizens --including families and children experiencing homelessness, veterans experiencing homelessness and addiction, adults in substance abuse treatment and their children, and individuals with developmental disabilities.  We are truly excited to have access to this innovative new service."  - President and CEO of Volunteers of America of Kentucky - Jane W. Burks

"Susan G. Komen in Lexington is excited to be a founding partner with CivicRush.  The opportunity that CivicRush presents to us to engage donors and volunteers within a social network brings giving into the 21st century.  We now have a simple way to assign volunteers to our needs at events and we can attract new volunteers to support our cause, which is important for growth in our cause.  We get this for free, which as any ED knows, is the best price for a 501(c)(3) organization.   We are also partnering with CivicRush to support our end of year fundraising campaign.  They make giving so easy for donors, and they issue the tax receipt - making my life a little easier."  - Executive Director, Jennifer Bricking

Hotel Rates in New Orleans up to 590% Higher for Super Bowl, Survey Shows

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Out-of-town football fans who plan to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans and are on the hunt for a hotel room better prepare themselves for sky-high dollar signs. According to a new survey from Cheaphotels.org, with just a little over two months to go until game day, hotel rates in New Orleans are skyrocketing for the Super Bowl weekend of February 1-4.

The main reason for the high price tags is that only around a dozen hotels in New Orleans and its suburbs currently have available rooms. On average, these accommodations are raising their rates by 304%, the survey found.

The award for the biggest rate hiker goes to the Holiday Inn West Bank Tower. Located in New Orleans' business district, this establishment regularly charges $109 per night. Come Super Bowl weekend, however, football fans can expect to pay $549 per night. That equates to a 403% increase.

While not as pricey overall, the low-budget Midtown Hotel in the Big Easy suburbs earns the distinction of being the percentage-wise price gouger. There, a room that normally costs $65 nightly will set guests back $449 per night, or 590% more than usual.

Currently, to score even the cheapest room, visitors will have to spend between $300 and $400 for an overnight stay. What's more, they will be subject to minimum-stay stipulations. All remaining hotel rooms over the Super Bowl weekend are currently requiring guests to commit to at least three nights and in some cases even five nights.

Will the outlook grow dimmer as the kickoff date approaches? Barbara Adams from Cheaphotels.org doesn't think so. In fact, she predicts that cheaper rooms will materialize in the near future. "The vast majority of hotel rooms are currently blocked by the NFL," she explains. "However, as in previous years, some of these rooms are expected to be released close to the Super Bowl. Hence, more reasonable-priced hotel rooms should become available."

BlipCare Launches The Next Generation Wireless Weight Scale That Reminds Users To Take Their Readings

New Wi-Fi weight scale with reminders provides wellness tracking, addressing the growing need for reliable weight monitoring solutions

CHICAGO, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BlipCare is proud to announce the launch of a new personal Wi-Fi weight scale. The BlipCare Wi-Fi Weight Scale is the first weight scale that provides reminders to keep the user on track. The user simply programs the time they prefer to step on the scale, and the scale will make a beeping sound and will light up until the weight is taken.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121127/CG19041)

Key features include:

    --  Tracks weight and body mass for up to 10 users
    --  Provides goal setting features and easy-to-read data charts
    --  Features a reminder system using illuminated buttons and audible beeps
The Blip Wi-Fi Weight Scale is especially useful for those taking an active role in their own health or those of patients, friends or family members, including aging parents.Whenever the user steps on the scale, the scale stores the reading with a time stamp and transmits it to the user's account over their home Wi-Fi network. The user or their caretaker can now track, chart and trend the data from anywhere.

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall health and can help prevent and/or control many diseases and conditions. "We felt the need for a simple and accurate weight scale that a user could use anywhere and take control of their weight without worrying about connectivity issues," said Dr. Sukhwant Khanuja, CEO and founder of BlipCare. "We look forward to developing other easy-to-use wellness products to meet the growing demand for personal monitoring."

According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, more than 65 million people or 29% of the U.S. population, provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year.

"The Blip Wi-Fi Scale allows me to take a more active role in my father's health since I live out of town," explained Kapil Singh. "I have created automated e-mail updates that notify me if he does not take a weight reading or if his weight starts to decline. I can then e-mail the customized report to his doctor who can review the data and determine if any follow-up action is necessary."

Unlike other scales, the Blip Wi-Fi Scale also provides accurate weight readings on carpets. "We realized that in order to provide the most precise weight reading, simply stepping on the scale was not enough," said Khanuja. "So we designed our scales to work in different environments yet consistently providing accurate readings."

The Blip Scale also features kick-buttons, which allow multiple users to use the scale. With two primary user kick buttons and the guest button, the scale can track data for up to 10 users.

About the Blip Scale

The Blip Scale is available for $99.00 USD. It comes with a life time of free monitoring service. The Blip Wi-Fi Weight Scale has also been launched on Indiegogo (http://www.indiegogo.com).

To purchase a Blip Wi-Fi Scale or for more information, please go to http://www.blipcare.com, or call +1 312.627.9300.

Exar Introduces New Programmable High Brightness LED Driver

XRP7613 Thermal Current Fold-back Improves Reliability in LED Lighting Fixtures

FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Exar Corporation (Nasdaq: EXAR) a leading supplier of high performance analog mixed-signal components and data management solutions today introduced the XRP7613, a programmable high current, high brightness LED Driver.  Capable of driving LED currents up to 1.2A, the XRP7613 operates from input voltages up to 36V and supports analog and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming up to 40KHz.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120716/SF41155LOGO)

Designed for retail and architectural lighting applications, the XRP7613 offers a proprietary and selectable LED thermal current fold-back mode of operation that effectively reduces the programmed LED current as the ambient temperature increases.  This feature provides additional reliability for the whole system and longer operation under adverse temperature conditions.  The XRP7613 supports a wide range of programmable LED currents, from150mA to 1.2A, making it ideal for various LED brightness and light fixture wattage. Additionally, an extended operating voltage range of up to 36V allows usage of the XRP7613 in industrial lighting applications where power transmission line losses are minimized through higher input voltage rails.

"The XRP7613 offers customers a number of leading features including the thermal current fold-back mode which maintains the LED lit under stressful temperature conditions where most other drivers would simply turn off," said Eric Pittana, Exar's Power Management marketing director. "Ultimately, the XRP7613 enables an enhanced consumer lighting experience with a longer lasting and more reliable lighting fixture."

Product Details
The XRP7613 is a non-synchronous step down driver with integrated FET optimized to drive high power LEDs up to 1.2A while supporting up to 36V on the input.  The XRP7613 has a switching frequency of up to 1MHz, a programmable output current from 150mA to 1.2A, and supports both analog as well as PWM dimming up to 40KHz. A selectable LED thermal current fold-back control feature linearly reduces the LED current as temperature rises to ensure continuous lighting.  The XRP7613 also provides designers with a compact and robust LED driver solution capable of fitting into the popular MR16 space constraint sockets.

Product Availability and Pricing
The XRP7613 is available now in volume quantities and comes standard in a RoHS compliant,Halogen Free 8-Pin Exposed Pad SOIC package.  The 1,000-unit suggested retail is $0.99 each. Exar also offers an evaluation board for customers to quickly and easily test the features of the XRP7613.

Extricom Launches First Large Scale Seamless WLAN Solution

NEW YORK, November 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Extricom [http://www.extricom.com ] Ltd., the enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN)
manufacturer that provides seamless mobility with its patented Channel Blanket(TM)
[http://www.extricom.com/category/benefits ] architecture, today announced the launch of
its new Extricom LS-3000 [http://www.extricom.com/category/product-line-overview ] Large
Scale wireless solution.

    The LS-3000 is designed specifically for very large-scale WLAN environments, such as
large logistics hubs, regional medical centres, and large hotels where seamless wireless
roaming is crucial. The LS-3000 supports a maximum wireless coverage area of more than
100,000sqm, equivalent to approximately 20 soccer fields.

    Extricom's Channel Blanket(TM) technology provides organizations with true wireless
mobility along with wire-like reliability and throughput, even in the most challenging
radio frequency (RF) environments. This is a significant improvement over traditional WLAN
architectures that, when in non-ideal environments or burdened with heavy traffic, have
proven to be far less reliable than the wired networks they replaced.

    The Channel Blanket provides up to four blankets of wireless coverage, each of which
can be set up to support a different business requirement. This means that it is possible
to provide one wireless blanket specifically for business critical data, for example, that
won't be affected by heavy data usage of Internet browsers which can impact on bandwidth.
The Internet users can be provided with a separate blanket, as can staff using their own
mobile devices in the work environment, such as smartphones and tablets, to minimise the
wireless security risks associated with bring your own device (BYOD).

    The Channel Blanket is a proven success in both greenfield deployments and in
situations where it is used to replace microcell WLANs that are not meeting customer
expectations. By eliminating co-channel interference, providing multiple uplinks, and
taking advantage of reflected RF rather than being hindered by it, the Extricom solution
has an intrinsic reliability that is unparalleled in the WLAN industry.

    The Extricom solution is also the only enterprise WLAN that provides truly seamless,
zero-handoff roaming. This is key for any application where mobility and smooth roaming
are critical for operational success. Two verticals that stand out in this regard are
healthcare [http://www.extricom.com/category/healthcare ], where VoIP phones, and mobile,
networked patient care equipment are becoming more and more prevalent, and logistics
[http://www.extricom.com/category/logistics ], where the use of mobile networked devices
such as bar-code scanners and forklifts, VoIP phones, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
is rapidly increasing. Other verticals such as education
[http://www.extricom.com/category/education ] and hospitality
[http://www.extricom.com/category/hospitality ] are also leveraging the benefits of true
mobility.

    Amit Shvartz, Extricom's VP of Marketing, said: "We received increasing numbers of
requests from leading businesses and institutions that need a fast and highly reliable
wireless solution for their large- scale facilities. The LS-3000 was developed to address
this gap in the market by providing a seamless, highly resilient wireless solution for
very large installations."

    About Extricom:

    Extricom is a manufacturer of fourth generation enterprise wireless LAN solutions,
based on its Channel Blanket(TM) architecture. The Channel Blanket architecture provides
wire-like reliability, high throughput, seamless mobility, unparalleled noise immunity,
and is easy to install and maintain. In an era of intensive wireless usage powered by the
market explosion of smart phones, iPads, iPods, tablets and other communication devices,
voice, data, video, and location services are delivered with an always-on, robust and
mobile Wi-Fi connection to any client, in any environment. The Extricom Interference-Free(
TM) WLAN is purpose-built to slash wireless complexity and future-proof your network for
tomorrow's multi-service demands. Extricom solutions are in use by customers operating in
numerous industries worldwide, including education, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics
and warehousing, retail and public venues. Extricom's customers have discovered the
uncompromising performance, reliability and ease of ownership that are the hallmark of the
Extricom WLAN. Extricom serves its growing global customer base through offices in the
USA, Europe and Japan, and by working with a global network of distributors and partners.

No stranger to suffering from the passing of a pet, Dr. Fahey helps pet owners with the loss of their pets online, by phone, and during group demonstrations. He says, "People care for their pet soulmates, and when a pet dies, there is hurt, real sadness. However, when this happens, who are you going to call to put in plain words what you are really feeling? Who can you trust to listen and understand what you are going through? Endings are tough."

People call Dr. Fahey also asking help to better connect with a living pet, a lost pet, or to get spirit animal messages from a beloved pet that died. Pet lovers want answers to questions to feel better.

The most commonly asked questions include, "Do pets go to heaven?", "Is my pet okay?", and "Will my pet be waiting for me?" According to Dr. Fahey, the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes!

Dr. Fahey believes animals have a soul and that anything that lived and you loved is waiting for you when you go to heaven. In one of his books, he tells how pets are like family and you can expect them to be always waiting for you.

Dr. Fahey holds a Ph.D. in education and is the author of Rainbow Soul mates, They Are All Around You, Spirit Masters, Spirit Stars, and The Gift. When performing a free distance pet healing or $29 email pet psychic reading, he tells all, "Send or bring photos of your pet soul mate! They are still around you."

Dr. Fahey reminds us that "Pets are psychic too! Have you ever noticed your pet staring or barking at nothing? Well, it's not because there is nothing there: there is, and it is likely to be not only a spirit visit from a loved one who has crossed over to the other side, but also another animal in spirit. You see, just like human babies, our pets can see spirits all the time."

People call also because they want help to discover other things about their pets. For example, to get explanations for behavioral problems, to learn what their animal friend wants to tell them to deepen and improve their relationship, and to understand their pet's needs and feelings.

Dr. Fahey truly understands and respects the bond between a person and their animal and how it can be a very difficult time when an animal's time comes and must go to live in heaven.

SureSale Launches Mobile Certification and Online Marketing Platforms

SureSale technology expands dealer autonomy in the sourcing, certification, and marketing of certified vehicles

VENICE, Calif., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SureSale(TM), the certified pre-owned (CPO) marketing program that is changing the way used vehicles are bought and sold, today announced the launch of its new mobile and online platforms designed to increase dealer autonomy in the sourcing, certification, and marketing of certified vehicles. The technology platforms include new functionality that enables dealers to purchase quality used inventory from private sellers, a mobile certification app, and an expanded online marketplace that includes free dealer microsites with additional listing syndication to top automotive marketplaces.

SureSale launched earlier this year to expand the range of vehicles eligible for certification on dealer lots, online marketplaces, and remarketing channels to 15 years old and 150K miles. Participating SureSale dealerships report a turn rate that is over 60% faster than that of the average used vehicle and an additional 23% or$2,300 per-vehicle sales premium on average.*

"These technology platforms create a turn-key certified marketing solution for dealers and an innovative way to acquire quality used inventory - all while providing a powerful cost- and time-saving way to generate used car leads," said Jeffrey Schwartz, president and CEO of SureSale. "Plus, our new 'on demand' certification means dealers can market SureSale Eligible vehicles and then ultimately certify based on a consumer's request.  This is a win for consumers, who have a new channel to search for certified vehicles, and for dealers, who have access to a new universe of consumers."

SureSale's new certified platform features include:

    --  ACQUIRE: buyer program for dealers
        --  Ability for participating dealers to purchase SureSale Eligible
            vehicles from private sellers sourced online from the SureSale
            Marketplace
        --  Dealers can remarket these vehicles as SureSale Certified upon
            additional inspection
    --  INSPECT: mobile certification app
        --  Allows qualified dealers to expedite the SureSale inspection process
            via a mobile inspection of vehicles
        --  SureSale ensures the standardization and validity of inspection
            requirements through proprietary technology and training
    --  MARKET: expanded SureSale marketplace
        --  Provides free turn-key dealership and SureSale branded microsites
            with additional listing syndication to top automotive marketplaces
        --  Promotes SureSale Eligible vehicles for on-demand certification
            based on consumer request
SureSale provides dealers who don't have access to manufacturer CPO programs the opportunity to differentiate their dealership by selling certified inventory; and for those with access, a certified business model that complements their existing manufacturer CPO program by extending the range of vehicles they can sell as certified. SureSale's online marketplace provides dealerships with one-click publishing of all their SureSale branded inventory (both 'Eligible' and Certified) on their SureSale microsite as well as across suresale.com and online classified sites.

SureSale dealer benefits also include no monthly fees or long term contract commitments; an easy 'one-click' vehicle certification platform; best-in-class limited warranties, buy-back guarantees and vehicle service contracts; and certified vehicle inspections -- all of which generate greater customer and financial institution confidence, quicker inventory turn rates and more profit opportunity for the dealership.

*Based on analysis of SureSale vehicles' sale price + addl. VSC revenue averages (all SureSale vehicles 5 yrs and older sold March-May) compared to averages on similar vehicles (Y/M/M) from KBB suggested values (average of wholesale + 'as-is' + retail pricing).

About SureSale

Savvis Unveils Virtual Hosting Services for China

Companies to Gain Speed, Performance of Web Presence in China

HONG KONG, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Savvis, a CenturyLink company (NYSE: CTL) and leader in global cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for enterprises, today expanded its website hosting capabilities for global brands that need a web presence in China.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG10879LOGO )

Companies that host their web content using cloud computing, managed hosting or colocation at one of Savvis' data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore or Tokyo can now take advantage of virtual hosting services that simplify the process of getting web content into China while also achieving the end-user experience benefits of a local web presence.

Complex local rules, poor interconnectivity and latency issues at international gateways plague foreign websites directed at China, impacting page loads and speed for consumers throughout the country. In addition, many global brands with online businesses face difficulty obtaining licenses for hosting content within China.

"Chief marketing officers know that China is one of the most desirable markets in the world, but complicated regulations and other issues prevent their e-commerce sites, online product promotions and other web content from reaching this coveted audience," said Mark Smith, managing director, Asia, at Savvis. "Savvis' new virtual hosting service expands our array of enterprise-class offerings, making it easy for companies to enter the Chinese market and satisfy the consumer appetite for websites of foreign brands."

A website-acceleration solution enables the virtual hosting services, using caching and dynamic delivery technologies to distribute web content to end-users in China through a widespread network of in-country content delivery network (CDN) nodes.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120829/LA64679LOGO)

The olloclip for iPhone 5 contains three lenses for fisheye, wide-angle and macro shots in one small, convenient package.  This International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree is half the size and weight of the average car key and easily fits in a pocket and in the palm of the hand making it the perfect camera accessory.

    --  The wide-angle lens nearly doubles the iPhone's normal field of view.
    --  The macro lens applies roughly a 10X magnification on macro and is
        cleverly concealed within the olloclip by unscrewing the wide-angle
        lens.
The olloclip uniquely features the Panorama 360 Plus(TM) creating more than a 360 degree image using the olloclip fisheye lens with the Apple iOS 6 Panorama camera feature.  The Panorama feature used with the wide-angle lens also provides a wider and taller field of view that enhances the panoramic experience.  The olloclip also works with video and photo apps in both video and still modes.   http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickohb/sets/72157631777534802

services roadmap. With the One Series, cable operators realize the added benefits of
integrated eSBC (enterprise Session Border Controller) and application visibility, control
and optimization features that are necessary for the delivery of high-value managed cloud
services.

    Integrated DOCSIS 3.0 is another proof point of OneAccess' commitment to lead the
evolution of the MSR from a Layer 3 centric network element to a cloud-based application
delivery solution. The One700C PRI configuration will be available for lab evaluation in

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    --  INFRAWARE introduces PSS: Ultra low-cost Android smartphone platform

        $100 average by other manufacturers
INFRAWARE, technology innovator for Android software and services that helps people work and play better, announced today its launch of the ultra low-cost Android-based smartphone platform, Polaris Smartphone Suite (PSS).

Created to accelerate the removal of barriers to digital inclusion and allowing for true smartphone popularization, the PSS enables phone manufacturers to develop Android smartphones at a cost of approximately US $30.

Trend Micro Lets You Take the "Security Challenge" with New Free Online Assessment Tools for Cloud, Cyber & Mobile Security

Is your enterprise or small business secured for cloud or mobile device accessibility?

Do you have a defendable posture against cyber-attacks?

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro today announced its Trend Micro Online Security Assessment Tools for Cloud, Cyber & Mobile Security, which will provide customers with an assessment of their current business' security posture with respect to cloud adoption, consumerization and targeted attacks. Use of these cost-free security assessment tools are designed to help plan and deploy security measures needed to manage mobile devices, secure your journey to cloud computing and defend against targeted cyber-attacks.

Trend Micro Japan was the first to introduce TrendMicro.com/SecurityAssessment tools and with this release, Trend Micro is now offering this proven tool in English on its website.  By doing so, Trend Micro is providing organizations with needed feedback on their current security policies and implementations and comparisons against peers of similar size and industry focus.

By answering 25 yes/no questions, this tool will provide an assessment of a company's current security posture, provide a comparison against industry averages and offer suggestions on how to improve current security practices.  Results are provided in five areas of security: protection, responsiveness, organization, expertise and visibility.

Trend Micro recently conducted the same assessments with organizations of 500 or more employees* in nine countries.  The nine countries represented included USA, Germany, UK, France, Brazil, Japan, India, Canada and Australia.   Here are some interesting results from the recent assessments conducted by Trend Micro:

Advanced Persistent Threats:

    --  For overall readiness against targeted attacks, organizations in Japan
        appear to be the least ready, while those in the US and Canada appear to
        be the most ready, scoring 3.3 and 4.6 out of 5, respectively.
    --  On average across these nine countries, approximately 84.7 percent of
        organizations reported a documented process for handling an attack, with
        approximately 93 percent of US and approximately 64.1 percent of
        Japanese organizations reporting having such a process.
    --  Also on average across these nine countries, approximately 86.5 percent
        of organizations share their security policies regularly with employees,
        with approximately 95.6 percent  of Canadian and 73.8 percent  of
        Japanese organizations sharing such policies with employees regularly.
    --  A smaller percentage of organizations, on average about 75.6 percent,
        educate their employees about targeted attacks, which tend to focus on
        individual employees, with UK leading the way with approximately 87.3
        percent of British organizations and Japan at the back with about 51.8
        percent of Japanese organizations being proactive about education.
"We have seen a real need for a tool that assists companies with their move to the cloud and increase need to access company resources via mobile or BYOD adoption with many devices including personal computers, mobile and tablet devices.  Certainly there exists a heightened awareness around security with cloud adoption as well as APT/Targeted attacks," said Jon Clay, senior manager, core technology marketing.

Ready for the Cloud:

    --  Overall, according to these assessments, US organizations are the most
        cloud-ready and Japanese organizations are the least cloud-ready,
        scoring 4.5 and 2.3, respectively.
    --  US and Canadian organizations are the highest-ranked when it comes to
        having a cloud security policy shared regularly with employees.
    --  Approximately 89 percent of US organizations encrypt their important
        data in the cloud, with only about 39.6 percent of Japanese
        organizations encrypting their cloud data.

Odobo Launches HTML5 Games Development Program for Regulated Gambling Industry

GIBRALTAR, November 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

           Odobo [https://www.odobo.com ], the new HTML5 games development program and
platform for the regulated online gambling industry, has launched today.

    (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121127/579674 )

    Odobo is accepting applications to its Game Developer Program from game studios and
producers. This presents a new opportunity for game developers to capitalise on the
high-value players in the online gambling industry via distribution through licensed
casino operators worldwide.

    Founder and CEO Ashley Lang, who brings Odobo 12 years of senior management experience
in the international gambling industry, said: "It's very likely that the blockbuster game
that will help take online casino gambling mainstream has not been invented yet. We
thought, 'how would any developer with that great game idea overcome all the hurdles in
today's industry?' Something needed to change."

    Average revenues per user are 20 times higher than social and casual gaming, and tens
of millions of active players are forecast to generate revenues in excess of USD $32bn by
2015. Odobo enables developers and operators to work together to realise the true
potential of this high-growth industry.

    Lang said: "Casino operators invest millions in marketing and are actively seeking new
and high-quality content from a wider variety of developers to engage existing players and
attract tomorrow's new ones. We saw a big opportunity to revisit the way content is
created, distributed, marketed and monetised to the benefit of all stakeholders."

    The Odobo Game Development Kit (GDK) supports HTML5 game production based upon engines
and random number generators that are certified by industry-accredited third-party testing
facilities. Odobo looks after localisation and makes all approved games available in
multiple currencies and languages.

    Games built within the framework of the Odobo Developer Program are unique in that
they rival top-quality Flash games on the desktop while also supporting the rapid shift
towards tablets and smartphones. All approved games are available to casino operators via
the Odobo marketplace - a B2B content "app store" for the industry - launching in early
2013.

    The consumer-facing Odobo Play portal launches in first quarter of 2013. Every game,
developer and casino operator will have their own profile page, acting as a new marketing
channel and allowing anyone to promote Odobo games, the studios that produce them, and the
casinos that support their play.

    "There is a lot of excitement over the convergence of social and regulated gaming. We
have designed the Odobo platform to enable and support innovation, while operating within
a regulatory framework where responsible gaming and fair-play measures are in place to
protect the players," added Lang.

    The Odobo platform, GDK and marketplace are the result of over 18 months of
development by a team of over 40 industry engineers, architects, designers, and
developers. Odobo has invested millions into building a sophisticated, high-volume
platform that supports a vast number of players. The company is based in Gibraltar, a
globally-recognised regulatory jurisdiction and the home of the largest online casino
operators.

    For developers requiring assistance with HTML5 game production, Odobo offers access to
an in-house HTML5 game development team. Once a developer's game is live, they can use a
comprehensive analytics platform for unparalleled real-time gameplay visibility and
historic reporting. This gives developers unique insights into the key metrics driving
their game's success.

    Notes to Editors: About HTML5:

    HTML5 is a term that is typically used to describe a collection of technologies that
allows developers to create powerful websites and applications. Content built using HTML5
can reach a much broader audience because HTML5 is supported by modern browsers on
desktops, tablets, and smart phones without requiring any plug-ins.

    At its core, HTML5 features three primary technologies: HTML, which dictates
structure, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which handles presentation, and JavaScript, which
enables logic and interactivity.

    Popular modern browsers that support HTML5 include the latest versions of Internet
Explorer (Windows mobile and desktop), Firefox, Chrome, Safari (iOS and desktop), the
Android Browser, and the Blackberry Browser.

Surprising Sales Reservations Prove the New TeliPad Product is a Winning Move for Massive Dynamics

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Massive Dynamics, Inc. (OTCBB: MSSD) announced today that reservations for the Company's technological breakthrough TeliPad product proved it to be a hit yesterday during what some call "Cyber Monday".

According to Massive Dynamics President Oscar Hines, "When shoppers found out that they could avoid paying $400 to $600 for a separate smartphone to carry and just pay $89.95 to add the smartphone to their tablet, they quickly saw the benefit of the TeliPad. As such, I believe that this is the reason we received more than three times the preorders that we had hoped for."

The new TeliPad product from Massive Dynamics eliminates the need to carry a separate smartphone and computing tablet. Because of its two line functionality, the one TeliPad device actually takes the place of two smartphones and a tablet, by making the tablet all that you need to carry to fully communicate and interact online and on the phone. The TeliPad is about the size of a credit card and can be adhered to the back of your computing tablet or kept in close proximity, since it works via Bluetooth©. The smartphone function is designed to work on AT&T©, Verizon©, T-Mobile©, and Cellular One© networks or any network that supports SIMM. At this time, the TeliPad is not supported by Sprint© network systems technology.

More information on the TeliPad and other breakthrough technology and products that Massive Dynamics develops and sells may be seen at http://www.MassiveDynamicsCorp.com

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --  RetailMeNot.com (http://www.retailmenot.com), the largest online coupon site in the United States, today announced the launch of RetailMeNot on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/retailmenot), a new coupon experience that provides users with personalized and social savings opportunities. To learn more, an instructional video is available at http://www.retailmenot.com/social or YouTube.

A recent study by the global consulting firm Booz & Company estimated that $1 billion in goods was sold through social media in the United States in 2011. That figure is expected to reach $14 billion by 2015.[1] RetailMeNot on Facebook was designed to help retailers reach RetailMeNot's 2.2 million fans and their connections on Facebook with relevant deals and offers on products and services. A team of RetailMeNot merchandisers will work to provide consumers with access to retailers' best deals and offers as they become available.

"The next frontiers in retail, especially within the coupon industry, are within mobile commerce and social shopping. The company that cracks the code on how to make both mobile and social media truly transactional platforms for merchants will win big in retail," said Cotter Cunningham, the CEO and founder of WhaleShark Media, Inc., the operator of RetailMeNot. "While still early, we believe that we are on the right path to helping RetailMeNot's more than 2 million Facebook fans save money when using our new social shopping platform."

RetailMeNot on Facebook includes the following features:

    --  Browse and search coupons and offers from top stores without having to
        leave the Facebook environment with redemption similar to the website
        experience on RetailMeNot.com
    --  Consumers who choose to not authorize the RetailMeNot on Facebook app
        can still redeem coupons that they see their friends using
    --  App authorization unlocks the ability to personalize a consumer's
        specific coupon feed and share savings opportunities with friends
    --  Coupon management functionality includes saving coupons for later and
        receiving alerts when those coupons are about to expire
    --  On/off switch enables private browsing and shopping vs. automatic
        sharing of coupons to help friends save
    --  An increase in the personalization of the coupon feed is possible by
        identifying favorite stores, with suggested new favorites based on
        "likes" by Facebook friends
"We continue to be bullish in our view that the growth of commerce through Facebook is a channel worth investing in long term as we work to help retailers reach motivated consumers that want to buy their products and services," said Jag Bath, senior vice president of product, WhaleShark Media, Inc., the operator of RetailMeNot. "This innovation is another step in developing a more personalized coupon offering for consumers that will help them save money on the things they want, need and buy every day."
