VGTel, Inc. dba 360 Entertainment & Productions Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Ohio-based Electronic Raffle Kiosk Company
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VGTel, Inc. dba 360 Entertainment & Productions, Inc. (OTCQB: VGTL), CEO Peter Shafran is pleased to announce the Company has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with an Ohio-based company in the charitable video gaming industry. "The target company is exactly the type of company we've been searching for and the right kind of people who share our vision in this market," says Shafran. Shafran added, "This deal makes sense for both parties - it provides 360 with a proven model and a talented staff of gaming industry veterans and will provide the target company with even more opportunities and higher levels of support and product development." Counsel is preparing the definitive closing documents and the parties expect the transaction to close on or before November 15, 2012.
The Ohio-based target company has complete manufacturing capabilities, software licensing for raffle games, distribution and maintenance components in place with staffing and warehousing in Ohio. It also currently enjoys a five-year contract to place charitable video raffle kiosks in participating veterans and fraternal organizations' locations in Ohio, which will enable the expansion of raffle units and locations to meet and exceed more than 5,000 units in 1500+ locations. Proceeds from these video raffles will benefit the locations and the charities they support.
"Following this acquisition," Shafran explained, "360 intends to expand similar operations throughout Ohio and into other states where the regulatory and political environments are accommodating. We have already started exploring that process in earnest in several other states."
Under the terms of the LOI, the Company will acquire 100% of the target company, with management, operations and contracts in place. The target company will then operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of 360, in compliance with all governmental regulations. The acquisition of the target company is valued at greater than $25 million in cash and stock. The projected revenue to 360 in the first full 12 months after acquisition is in the range of $25,000,000 - $35,000,000, with expected EBITDA greater than $5,000,000 - $7,500,000, based on current revenue in the field. The projected revenues in years 2 through 5 (from Ohio-based operations alone) would appear to be in the range of $50,000,000 - $75,000,000, or better.

In addition, 360 Entertainment & Productions is seeking other opportunities in the rapidly growing electronic gaming industry in those venues and states where allowed by regulation.

Hughes and ThinKom Demonstrate New Tactical Communications Solutions
New Solutions Offer Advanced on-the-Move Capabilities for the Defense Sector
GERMANTOWN, Md., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite solutions and services, and a leading provider of managed network and application services, and ThinKom Solutions, Inc. (ThinKom), today announced the demonstration of ultra-low profile antennas and a manpack for global communications-on-the-move (COTM) missions. The ThinKom products include the ultra-low-profile Ku-band COTM antenna (ThinSAT(® )300), the ultra-portable Manpack Ka-band antenna (ThinPACK(®) KKA100) and the low-profile airborne Ka-band antenna (ThinAIR(®) KA1000). The joint demonstration confirmed interoperability of ThinKom COTM antennas with the Hughes HX System, including its high-performance IP satellite routers with enhanced security features, operationally proven for high quality and highly-secure communications for defense customers worldwide.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110112/NE29456LOGO)
"Combining our HX System with ThinKom's ultra-low-profile antennas brings government and military customers new advances in tactical communications for airborne, sea and land," said Rick Lober, vice president and general manager of the Defense and Intelligence Systems Division, Hughes. "This capability comes at a crucial juncture when our nation requires affordable solutions to share an ever-increasing amount of real-time intelligence and battlefield information at all echelons of command."
"We are pleased ThinKom was able to integrate Hughes satellite technology with our ultra-low-profile antennas," said Mark Silk, CEO of Thinkom, "Our new antennas offer next-generation technological capabilities and their small profiles make them harder to identify, creating a safer environment for our military users."
The ThinSAT(®) 300, originally developed for high-data rate OTM enterprise applications, enables an integrated, on-the-move satellite antenna terminal in an ultra-low-profile (4.5-inch-high), 59-inch-long enclosure. Based on the Variable Inclined Continuous Transverse Stub (VICTS) phased array technology, ThinKom's COTM antenna offers increased aperture efficiency and enhanced control of radiated power spectral density while remaining compliant with FCC and ITU requirements. ThinKom's ThinPACK(®) KKA100 manportable antenna is based on its Continuous Transverse Stub (CTS) phased array antenna technology and enjoys the same benefits as the VICTS technology in terms of aperture efficiency and radiated power spectral density, while remaining compliant with MIL-STD-188-164A and ETSI EN 301 358. The ThinAIR(®) KA1000 low-profile airborne antenna has been flight tested and proven to provide 7 Mbps uplink data rates and 4.5 Mbps downlink data rates while in-flight on the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) System. Other benefits include: worldwide commercial and government Ka-band connectivity, as well as high data rates and high-power spectral densities.
These products will be on display at the Military Communications (MILCOM) 2012 Conference in both the Hughes ( #1319) and the ThinKom ( #310) booths. MILCOM is being held October 29 - November 1, 2012 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando, Florida.

The Women's Apparel Website SensualSurprises.com Has Changed Its URL to iFashionWarehouse.com
SensualSurprises.com has moved to iFashionWarehouse.com. The sensual apparel retailer will continue to offer a wide selection of corsets, lingerie and fantasy apparel and plans to add mobile apps to their online shopping experience.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SensualSurprises.com has a new website location. The women's online sensual apparel specialist can now be found at http://www.iFashionWarehouse.com.

"Our goal is to make the original SensualSurprises.com more easily accessible to all of our customers no matter what technology they are using.

With this new URL change from SensualSurprises.com to iFashionWarehouse.com we will be able to reach out to a much broader audience and participate in markets that were closed to us in the past. We believe that our customers will be sensually surprised with the new level service, products, and direction of the company.
The company isn't only focused on providing a shopping site for corsets and lingerie to its customers. Customer feedback and interactions via social media are at the forefront too, which has led to the hire of Brenda Marungo as the company's Social Media Director and Nataliya Lovhikova as the company's Customer Service and Product Manager.
"Brenda brings over 5 years of social media marketing experience with her and will be instrumental in the further development of our social media profiles. Nataliya will spearhead our customer service department and oversee future product development. They both bring the experience and know-how needed to move the company forward and meet our customers' needs at the same time," noted Jones.

Marware Unveils New iPad mini Cases
C.E.O. Hybrid Offers Perfect Balance of Protection, Performance and Design and ships Nov. 2
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marware®, renowned designer of innovative accessories that enhance the performance of mobile devices, announced its new lineup of iPad mini cases and accessories. Marware's genuine leather C.E.O. Hybrid case, which allows users to stand their iPad mini at three viewing angles, will start shipping November 2. The Axis, MicroShell Folio, and Vibe are available now for pre-order on http://www.Marware.com and will begin shipping mid-to-late November. Marware also introduced a brand new case design, the DoubleTake, which will be available later this year.
Beyond offering durable protection against the wear and tear of everyday use, Marware's new iPad mini cases enhance the performance of the device with innovative features that accentuate the user experience. The five new cases, the C.E.O. Hybrid, DoubleTake, Axis, MicroShell Folio and Vibe, marry form and function with lightweight protection and precision built for Apple's latest device: the new, smaller iPad mini.
"The iPad mini will introduce the Apple experience to a whole new group of customers, giving users the outstanding iPad experience in a smaller, more portable and more affordable device," said Marware Director of Marketing Ronnie Khadaran. "We've had some great success stories with our iPad cases, and we're excited to continue that tradition with these new smaller versions. More than just cases, our new iPad mini products offer the perfect balance of functionality and design that allows customers to enjoy new uses for their tablet while offering the same protection, durability and style they've come to expect from Marware."
Marware's new iPad mini cases include the following:
-- The C.E.O. Hybrid ($42.99 USD MSRP), a Marware signature design, is made
of genuine leather and allows users to stand their device at three
viewing angles and one typing angle. In addition, the device features an
automatic sleep/wake lid. The thin profile of a shell case with the
stylish exterior of a folio protects 97 percent of the device when
closed, and includes Marware's signature interior hand strap for
one-handed use, offering superior versatility in a sleek executive-style
case.
-- The DoubleTake ($54.99 USD MSRP) is an elegant case with bold
personality and a stunning collection of head turning color options.
Durable dual-material composition offers enhanced protection and style.
The automatic sleep/wake lid folds to stand the device for hands-free
viewing or typing and is secured close with soft magnets. Additionally,
the intricately designed soft rubber inner layer provides shock
absorption.
-- The Axis ($44.99 USD MSRP), a genuine leather portfolio with a 90-degree
rotation, allows users to adjust the iPad mini to portrait or landscape
mode. With three hands-free viewing angles, the Axis holds the iPad mini
securely to let you type, read or watch it without neck strain.
Marware's signature hand strap provides for comfortable one-handed use
and a sleep/wake lid helps preserve battery life.
-- The MicroShell Folio ($34.99 USD MSRP) provides sleek durability,
combining a durable hard-shell with an integrated-stand folio lid for
hands-free viewing and typing. Designed to keep up with a demanding
mobile lifestyle, Marware's latest design stands out in the crowd with a
metallic back finish and lightweight, multi-functional design that
features an elastic strap to hold the sleep/wake lid open or closed.
-- The Vibe ($29.99 USD MSRP) stands the iPad mini in virtually any
position for the most comfortable, hands-free experience possible.
Sporting an energetic, two-toned exterior, its vibrant style is outdone
only by the boundless viewing angles of its intuitive design. An
automatic sleep/wake lid turns the tablet on and off to conserve battery
life.
Marware also offers an Anti-Scratch Screen Protector Kit (3-pack) for additional protection of your iPad mini display. To see the complete lineup of designs for the iPad mini, visit http://www.marware.com/ipad-mini-cases.

Barilla Helps Families Bring Love To The Dinner Table In Celebration Of World Pasta Day
Based on survey insights, new cookbook addresses barriers to preparing a home-cooked meal
BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For centuries, pasta has been a dinnertime favorite, loved by people around the world. There's even a day dedicated to celebrating it, and it's not hard to understand why: pasta is a versatile, affordable, easy, nutritious, comforting meal that brings people together. But now, with 58 percent of parents agreeing life today is more hectic than a year ago, and an additional 74 percent worrying about what happens when their family doesn't have a home-cooked meal; pasta is more important than ever. That's why in celebration of World Pasta Day, Barilla has partnered with Jenny Rosenstrach, author of "Dinner: A Love Story," to create a special edition cookbook designed to help families everywhere bring love to the table on even the busiest nights.

"I know how important dinnertime is, and I also know that I'm not alone in my love for pasta - so it's a natural fit," said Jenny Rosenstrach, author of "Dinner: A Love Story." "I've partnered with Barilla because I share the company's mission to help parents figure out realistic strategies to get a meal on the table, and help parents realize that having some quick and delicious pasta dinners in their repertoire is an easy way to make that happen."
Survey Reveals Love for Pasta, Multitasking
A new Barilla survey found the love for pasta is resounding but increasingly hectic lives make at-home meal preparation more challenging than ever. People are seeking easy go-to-meals that are simple, crowd-pleasers and allow for multi-tasking while cooking. A pasta meal can meet all these needs and parents believe it offers much more:
-- 90 percent of parents agree pasta is an easy meal option
-- 89 percent agree pasta is a meal the whole family enjoys
-- 85 percent agree pasta can be prepared using on-hand ingredients from
the pantry
-- 48 percent agree they can multi-task while making pasta
-- More than two-thirds of parents agree that pasta is a nutritious option
-- "Love" is one of the most common words referred to by parents thinking
about pasta
"Growing up in Italy, my family used to sit together around the dinner table, enjoying a warm plate of pasta and each other's company. A bowl of pasta is like ahug - warm, embracing and everyone loves one. I recommend good quality pasta for a great experience - it should never stick or clump and should be al dente," said Chef Lorenzo Boni, Barilla America Executive Chef. "Pasta doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious. That's why we are happy to celebrate World Pasta Day with our special edition cookbook to help make dinner time simple for today's families, so they can share quality time together around the table."

The Modern Family Pasta cookbook features 10 delicious recipes celebrating pasta putting love on the dinner table.

Zillow Introduces Pre-Market Inventory To Its Home Search

Posted on October 25, 2012 at 7:21:01 AM
Zillow Introduces Pre-Market Inventory To Its Home Search
Home Shoppers Can Now Find Information on 1.8 Million Pre-Foreclosure and Foreclosed Homes For Free
SEATTLE, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, leading real estate marketplace Zillow® (NASDAQ:Z) introduces pre-market inventory to its home-search experience. Home shoppers on Zillow now are able to search for and find rich information on 1.8 million pre-foreclosure and foreclosed properties, for free. These homes are not yet listed for sale and can't be found on any Multiple Listing Service (MLS), nor are they freely available on other real estate sites. For the first time, home shoppers are able to see the entire scope of housing inventory in their area, both pre-market and for-sale, side by side.
With inventory of for-sale homes falling by 20 percent over the past year[i], many would-be buyers are having a hard time finding the right home. Until now, foreclosures have made up a large, yet invisible, part of the housing inventory. Traditionally, only savvy investors knew where to find information on these types of properties. Zillow's introduction of pre-market inventory gives buyers a leg up by enabling them to see not only homes that are currently listed for sale, but homes that will soon be listed for sale.
Additionally, a majority of home buyers (55 percent) have considered purchasing a foreclosure[ii], but many don't know where to find information on these homes or are discouraged by the complexity of the transaction. After searching Zillow's pre-market inventory, buyers can connect with a local real estate agent who specializes in foreclosures who can help them navigate the process of buying a foreclosed home.
"This is another tremendous step forward in consumer empowerment. Zillow is taking information that was really only available to a select group - in this case, savvy investors - and making it more easily available to interested home buyers," said Spencer Rascoff, Zillow's CEO. "What's more, bringing this information to light, and taking this inventory out of the shadows, can help bring these homes to market faster than ever before."
Zillow's pre-market inventory includes:
-- More than 1.5 million pre-foreclosure properties: Homes where the lender
has initiated foreclosure proceedings or an auction has been scheduled.
-- 250,000 foreclosed properties: Homes that are owned by a bank or a
lender but have not yet been listed for sale.
-- More than 147,000 Make Me Move® properties: This is a Zillow feature
where homeowners have named a "dream price" for which they would
potentially sell their home.
Zillow now enables shoppers to see home details and unique data on these properties, including:
-- Foreclosure Estimate: Zillow's estimate of the sale price of the home if
sold as a foreclosure, in addition to the percentage and dollar discount
this represents off fair market value.
-- Number of beds and baths, square footage and historical sales and
listing history.
-- Foreclosure details, including: timeline of the foreclosure process,
foreclosing loan amount, unpaid balance, lender, trustee and/or attorney
information.
-- Contact information for local real estate agents trained to help buyers
with the foreclosure process. Zillow also is launching the Zillow
Foreclosure Center http://www.zillow.com/foreclosures/, which provides
consumers with information and how-to guides on navigating the
foreclosure process and answers frequently asked questions about
foreclosures.
Zillow's pre-market inventory search is currently available on Zillow.com and iOS mobile apps.
Additionally, with this launch, Zillow is surfacing addresses and detailed information for more than 67,000 foreclosure listings (bank-owned homes currently listed for sale) in its for-sale search category.
About Zillow, Inc.

Zillow's introduction of pre-market inventory gives buyers a leg up by enabling them to see not only homes that are currently listed for sale, but homes that will soon be listed for sale.
Additionally, a majority of home buyers (55 percent) have considered purchasing a foreclosure[ii], but many don't know where to find information on these homes or are discouraged by the complexity of the transaction. After searching Zillow's pre-market inventory, buyers can connect with a local real estate agent who specializes in foreclosures who can help them navigate the process of buying a foreclosed home.
"This is another tremendous step forward in consumer empowerment. Zillow is taking information that was really only available to a select group - in this case, savvy investors - and making it more easily available to interested home buyers," said Spencer Rascoff, Zillow's CEO. "What's more, bringing this information to light, and taking this inventory out of the shadows, can help bring these homes to market faster than ever before."
Zillow's pre-market inventory includes:
-- More than 1.5 million pre-foreclosure properties: Homes where the lender
has initiated foreclosure proceedings or an auction has been scheduled.
-- 250,000 foreclosed properties: Homes that are owned by a bank or a
lender but have not yet been listed for sale.
-- More than 147,000 Make Me Move® properties: This is a Zillow feature
where homeowners have named a "dream price" for which they would
potentially sell their home.
Zillow now enables shoppers to see home details and unique data on these properties, including:
-- Foreclosure Estimate: Zillow's estimate of the sale price of the home if
sold as a foreclosure, in addition to the percentage and dollar discount
this represents off fair market value.
-- Number of beds and baths, square footage and historical sales and
listing history.
-- Foreclosure details, including: timeline of the foreclosure process,
foreclosing loan amount, unpaid balance, lender, trustee and/or attorney
information.
-- Contact information for local real estate agents trained to help buyers
with the foreclosure process. Zillow also is launching the Zillow
Foreclosure Center http://www.zillow.com/foreclosures/, which provides
consumers with information and how-to guides on navigating the
foreclosure process and answers frequently asked questions about
foreclosures.
Zillow's pre-market inventory search is currently available on Zillow.com and iOS mobile apps.
Additionally, with this launch, Zillow is surfacing addresses and detailed information for more than 67,000 foreclosure listings (bank-owned homes currently listed for sale) in its for-sale search category.

Entrust's Software Authentication Platform Transforms Smartphones into Multipurpose Digital Identities for Secure Physical, Logical and Cloud Access
-- Entrust IdentityGuard delivers mobile smart credentials, capitalizes on BYOD momentum by leveraging Bluetooth and NFC technology on Apple iOS, Google Android and RIM BlackBerry devices
DALLAS, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To enable organizations to secure and leverage mobile devices in the wake of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trends, Entrust extends its comprehensive identity-based security platform with Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials. Available for the Apple iOS, Google Android and RIM BlackBerry mobile platforms, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials transform mobile devices into multipurpose digital identities for authenticated access to logical networks, cloud applications, physical facilities and building entrances.
"Entrust launched its mobile platform more than three years ago and we continue to innovate with practical capabilities that secure and leverage mobile devices across the enterprise," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "This technology helps organizations transform mobile devices into strong, multipurpose authenticators for physical, logical and cloud access while driving down the total cost of ownership as part of bring-your-own-device initiatives."
The Entrust Mobile Smart Credential is core to Entrust's broad mobile security portfolio that both secures and leverages the mobile enterprise. This layered, two-pronged approach helps secure mobile identities through the use of device certificates, mobile device management (MDM) integration, as well as transparent monitoring and authentication.
Complimenting those capabilities, Entrust's mobile innovation also helps organizations leverage mobile devices for strong, easy-to-use authentication, which includes two-factor authentication, out-of-band transaction confirmation, mobile smart credentials and future authenticator technology (e.g., biometrics, GPS).
Secure, Easy to Use and Always on Hand
Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to leverage everyday smartphones to easily authenticate identities for physical, logical and cloud-based resources, as well as digitally signing data. By taking advantage of near-field communication (NFC) and Bluetooth standards, Entrust embeds digital certificates on smartphones to create trusted identity credentials for stronger, more convenient enterprise authentication.
"Mobile smart credentials offer the value of smartcard authentication while simplifying security for end-users and streamlining the provision process," said Conner. "Easy-to-use mobile credentials help improve security with embedded technology such a location-based tracking, Bluetooth, NFC, and biometrics capture and provide an out-of-band channel that's critical to defeat malware-based attacks within the enterprises."
The mobile platform not only simplifies authentication for end-users, but also helps organizations reduce costs by eliminating the need for dedicated authentication hardware such as tokens, smartcards and smartcard readers.
Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials augment security and user convenience by leveraging Bluetooth to automatically detect and connect to workstations ? simply by prompting users to enter a PIN. And once a user leaves the proximity of their machine, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials can automatically lock the user session, ensuring logical access to the desktop is secured at all times.
Growing Trust in Mobile Devices
As leading technology organizations ? Google and Apple, for example ? focus on consumer-driven use for mobile devices (e.g., mobile wallets and payments vehicles), Entrust parallels this mobile innovation with a focus on empowering enterprises with solutions that leverage the mobile platform to address the need for stronger, more simple identity-based security. The ubiquity of mobile devices, as well as the growth of BYOD initiatives, allows enterprises to concurrently strengthen security, increase user adoption and greatly reduce costs.
"Entrust is helping transform smartphones ? devices end-users are already comfortable with, trust and always have on hand ? into enterprise-grade authenticators," said Conner. "The familiarity that users gain on the consumer side is directly benefiting the trust and understanding needed for wide-spread enterprise use. The parallel mobile movements are working together to help usher in great new standards in security, communication and transactions."
Enterprise-Wide ? A Comprehensive Identity-Based Security Platform
While harnessing the power of existing end-user devices as authenticators for physical, logical and cloud application access provides clear value, Entrust's comprehensive authentication platform also integrates with existing IT systems and business processes for unmatched deployment versatility.
With the flexibility to be co-deployed alongside outgoing legacy systems, Entrust's comprehensive software authentication platform bridges emerging technologies for strong mobility, cloud and smart credentialing offerings.
Entrust's flagship authentication solution, Entrust IdentityGuard, continues to lead the industry as one of the most robust software authentication platforms, delivering an unmatched breadth of capabilities and flexibility to meet the most demanding security environments.
The solution enables organizations to layer security ? according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction ? across diverse users and applications. Entrust's diverse set of authentication capabilities include smartcards and USB tokens, soft tokens, grid cards and eGrids, IP-geolocation, questions and answers, mobile smart credentials, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or email), out-of-band transaction verification and a range of one-time-passcode tokens.

Microsemi Releases Ultra Low Power sub-GHz Radio in Compact Chip Scale Package for Wireless Sensor Applications
World-leading, 2 mA Low-power Consumption Enables Long Battery Life and Miniaturization
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced the availability of a new ultra low power (ULP) radio frequency (RF) transceiver for short-range wireless applications where power consumption is of utmost importance. The ZL70250 sets the bar in terms of low power consumption with only 2 milliamps (mA) of current required to transmit and receive data, enabling extremely long battery life and miniaturization. These two features are particularly important for applications using energy harvesting and battery-powered wireless sensor networks.

The new ULP radio operates in unlicensed frequency bands between 795 and 965 megahertz (MHz) and delivers a data rate of 186 kilobits per second (kbps) to support a wide variety of sensor applications. All components are integrated into a single chip scale package (CSP) with the exception of a bias resistor and a supply decoupling capacitor.
Short-range sensor networks can be used for wireless communication in factories, industrial complexes and commercial buildings, where they improve manufacturing efficiency, safety, reliability, automation and security. Applications include ambient/environmental monitoring, industrial building automation and security, access control, structural health monitoring, tank level monitoring, wireless cold chain tracking for pharmaceutical shipments, and flexible smart cards for embedded energy autonomous sensors, to name a few. Miniaturization is also a key-enabling factor for applications where the weight as well as the size is a constraint. Examples of industry segments that can benefit from an ultra compact wireless sensor include wireless wearable medical monitoring, wireless sensors for aircrafts or vehicles, and traceability tags.
Until recently, batteries such as AA cells have provided a powering solution, but replacing them when they run down can be expensive, especially when sensors are installed behind walls or in other unreachable locations. With the growth in wireless sensor networks, designers need innovative solutions that can be used in miniaturized, ultra compact sensors using small coin cell batteries.
Due to the ZL70250 radio's low peak current and voltage supply (1.1V to 1.9V) system vendors developing low power sensor nodes can target a variety of short-range wireless sensor networks across several industry segments. With its 2 mm x 3 mm die size the ZL70250 CSP can be integrated together with other compact integrated circuits in multi-chip modules (MCM).
"Our ULP radio solution consumes the least amount of energy per transmitted bit in the market today and is essential in wireless sensor designs using energy harvesting transducers," said Mauricio Peres, director of business development of Microsemi's ULP group. "In addition, in applications utilizing compact batteries, our lead customers have reported outstanding power saving capabilities when using compact coin cell batteries with 1.4V and 1.5V supply."
Many wireless solutions available today in the medical industry have limitations to battery life when transporting multiple vital sign streams to a display instrument. Continuous vital sign monitoring applications such as electro cardiogram (ECG) rhythm or blood oxygen level (pulse oximetry) tracking can drain the battery supply quickly to an operating duration of one day or less. The ultra low power capabilities of the ZL70250 radio differentiate in sensor applications where battery life must be preserved while monitoring real time continuous data events. Current lab trials at Microsemi using CR-2032 coin cells show a significant improvement to battery life in continuous patient monitoring applications such as wireless ECG and pulse oximetry when compared to existing off the shelf solutions using AA batteries.
Key short range, miniaturized wireless applications for ZL70250 CSP radio include:
-- Smart "thin" card based sensors
-- Ambient monitoring
-- Building automation and home security
-- Indoor live stock monitoring
-- Medical wearable sensors with continuous monitoring
-- Animal lab sciences
-- Package transport tracking sensors (e.g. pharmaceutical)
-- ULP sensor networks for naval or commercial avionics applications
-- Military sensors for modern soldiers
-- Compact sensors based on rechargeable solid state thin film battery
Microsemi is providing development support tools for the ZL70250 CSP solution. Included in the tools are Application Development Kits (ADK), a low power wireless communication software code starter for point to point connections and reference designs of wireless sensors based on CR-2032 coin cell batteries.

Desitin Pharmaceuticals Selects Cloud-Based Veeva CRM to Support Expansion into the UK Market
BARCELONA, Spain, October 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
When German-based pharmaceutical company, Desitin, expanded into the United Kingdom,
it searched for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that could grow with its
new sales force. After a thorough review of leading CRM systems, the company selected
cloud-based Veeva CRM for the UK field sales team. Desitin cited a number of reasons for
selecting Veeva CRM: low maintenance costs with no infrastructure to manage; integrated
Closed Loop Marketing (CLM) capabilities on the iPad; fast deployment; and, the overall
inherent adaptability that comes only with a multitenant cloud solution.
(Photo:

"Veeva was recommended to me by a trusted third party so I took a look," said David
Trevor, managing director for Desitin UK. "After being shown a demo of Veeva CRM I was
very impressed with the system's capabilities, its reporting tools and the friendly user
interface."
Veeva CRM is tailored to meet country-specific requirements, allowing Desitin to
configure the system to meet its changing needs in the UK - adding or changing fields,
integrating with other systems, modifying processes to meet changing UK regulatory
requirements - all with a simple point-and-click administration tool. As a cloud-based
system, Veeva CRM is also easily scalable to meet Desitin's future growth plans.
"We are extremely happy with Veeva CRM, especially the quick, painless deployment and
the ability of the technical team to respond to customisation requests," added Trevor. "We
were up and running with the system in less than two months - easily the fastest CRM
roll-out I have ever seen!"

BARCELONA, Spain, October 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
When German-based pharmaceutical company, Desitin, expanded into the United Kingdom,
it searched for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that could grow with its
new sales force. After a thorough review of leading CRM systems, the company selected
cloud-based Veeva CRM for the UK field sales team. Desitin cited a number of reasons for
selecting Veeva CRM: low maintenance costs with no infrastructure to manage; integrated
Closed Loop Marketing (CLM) capabilities on the iPad; fast deployment; and, the overall
inherent adaptability that comes only with a multitenant cloud solution.

very impressed with the system's capabilities, its reporting tools and the friendly user
interface."
Veeva CRM is tailored to meet country-specific requirements, allowing Desitin to

integrating with other systems, modifying processes to meet changing UK regulatory
requirements - all with a simple point-and-click administration tool. As a cloud-based
system, Veeva CRM is also easily scalable to meet Desitin's future growth plans.
"We are extremely happy with Veeva CRM, especially the quick, painless deployment and
the ability of the technical team to respond to customisation requests," added Trevor. "We
were up and running with the system in less than two months - easily the fastest CRM
roll-out I have ever seen!"

Portable Spectrometer From Ocean Optics Ideal for Field Applications
MUMBAI, October 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Compact Jaz System Packages Powerful Spectral Sensing in Palm Sized Unit
The Jaz spectrometer from Ocean Optics (http://www.oceanoptics.eu [http://www.oceanoptics.eu
]) is a handheld, field-portable analytical instrument that combines low-power optical
sensing and onboard computing power for custom applications ranging from chlorophyll
analysis in leaves and plants to solar irradiance measurements and ozone monitoring.
Photo: http://halmapr.com/oo/JazField2012.jpg
Jaz is a family of stackable, modular and autonomous components that share common
electronics and communications. This compact, monolithic system - a typical setup for
field use is about 6 inches in height and weighs less than 2 lb - comprises a miniature
CCD-array spectrometer and a powerful microprocessor and onboard display with data logging
capability, so that full spectra data can be acquired, processed and stored without the
need for a PC. Ethernet and battery modules offer additional functionality for field use.
The Jaz Ethernet module has data storage capability via an SD card slot and allows
users to connect to the Jaz unit via the internet, making remote measurements possible and
enabling the creation of networked sensing modules. For example, a community of Jaz users
could map atmospheric ozone measurements around the world and share the data nearly
instantaneously.
The Jaz Lithium-Ion battery module is rechargeable in the field via the solar cell or
back in the lab using the power over Ethernet connection (100 Mbps, IEEE 802.3-compliant
10/100 single-cable), the USB 2.0 port or an external power supply. The battery module
also has a power-conserving sleep mode for long-term measurements and two additional SD
card slots for storing data.
Also, the Jaz platform can be expanded to include light sources (VIS-NIR or LED) and
additional spectrometer channels. Jaz can be connected to field-ready fibre optic
accessories such as cosine corrected irradiance probes for solar irradiance measurements,
optical fibres and probes for immersing in fluids or sampling of solid surfaces, and
devices for adjusting the field of view of the sampling optic. Also available is the Jaz
SpectroClip, a sampling device more measuring transmission and reflection of thin
materials such as leaves and plants. A special holster makes the Jaz wearable, freeing
your hands to manipulate sampling devices.
Because of its size and versatility, Jaz is a convenient analytical tool for
applications across various industries and disciplines, including horticultural and
ecological sciences; biotechnology; solar analysis and environmental monitoring; marine
sciences and geological research; surface waters analysis and pollution monitoring such as
site remediation and fenceline monitoring; and health and safety.

Alicia Keys & Bento Box Interactive Unlock The Imagination Of Children With Innovative New App "The Journals Of Mama Mae And Leelee"
New Animated Storytelling App Currently Available on iPad / iPhone Highlighted By Keys' Original Music
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alicia Keys and AK Worldwide have teamed up with Bento Box Interactive, to create a one-of-a-kind immersive storytelling app, entitled The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee. Centered on a touching story, the app encourages exploration through music, journaling, games, rewards and more. Underscored by Alicia Keys' original music and inspired by Keys' own relationship with her Nana, the app tells the story of a relationship between a young girl (LeeLee) in New York City and her wise and mystical grandmother (Mama Mae).
The app has been created to redefine the classic storytelling experience for children and parents utilizing interactivity and animation within innovative tactile features to engage them within the story and immerse them into the world beyond the pages of a book. Combined with stylized art direction and beautiful animation, Mama Mae's magical adventures from her journal provide empowering life lessons to LeeLee and drive the app's unique interplay. Co-produced by AK Worldwide and Bento Box Interactive, the new app is available for download from the Apple App Store for the iPad, iPhone and iTouch on October 25(th) for $3.99; https://itunes.apple.com/app/journals-mama-mae-leelee/id569755982 and shortly after on other devices and platforms. The characters and stories for the app were created by Alicia Keys, DJ Walton and Jessica Walton with the innovative App technology and platform developed by Bento Box Interactive and animation produced by the Bento Box team.
"I feel it's so important to tell the story of Mama Mae and LeeLee through an app because this has the potential to really bring everybody together in an interesting way," said Keys. "Mama Mae is a character that is partially born from the spirit of my Nana, who instilled in me all of the values that still guide my path to this day. As technology continues to advance, I feel it is so important to continue growing and fostering those indelible relationships as children tap into the digital landscape. The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee has the potential to enrich the way children, parents and grandparents participate in each other's lives."
"This is a very proud moment for all of us at Bento Box Interactive," said Scott Greenberg, CEO Bento Box Interactive. "We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate with such a great storyteller in Alicia Keys and her amazing team. Alicia keenly understands technology and its great potential for engaging the iPad generation. Together, we've opened the door to a new kind of storytelling experience. With music, games, journaling, rewards, and so much more all in one app we are charting a course for the next generation of readers. We are incredibly excited to share The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee with the world."
The first story in the app titled "Blue Moon," challenges users with true-to-life obstacles which empower children to face their fears, break free from limitation, and open themselves to unearthing their love for adventure and discovery within. This first story is highlighted by the song, "Follow the Moon," composed and produced by Keys.
Throughout the app and the series of story-packs, all music is produced and scored by Alicia Keys including the main theme song "Unlock Yourself," which is composed and performed by Keys and serves as a central theme reminding children to be true to themselves and follow their dreams. Additional story-packs, featuring the magical adventures within Mama Mae's journal, will be released within the app's bookshelf in the future on a regular basis. Each story-pack will also populate the interactive environment of LeeLee's 3D animated bedroom with additional original content that encourages users to explore and "unlock" all the possibilities.
The pristine functionality of the app's design allows for seamless transitions between the series of stories and the interactive world of LeeLee's bedroom that enables the reader to immerse within the story's experience. Through Mama Mae's wisdom and the app's compelling features, children can explore new worlds with the touch of their fingertips.

Apricorn Debuts Velocity Solo X2 - Extreme Desktop SSD Upgrade Kit with PCIe Data Speeds in Excess of 550 MBs
SSD Upgrade Kit Boosts Desktop Performance with Solid State and SATA III
POWAY, Calif., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Apricorn today announced the latest addition and now the fastest of its popular Velocity Solo Desktop SSD Upgrade line, the Velocity Solo X2. It's the first PCIe 2.0 x2 lane card available that is capable of delivering speeds upwards of 550 MBs when used with a single super fast SATA III (6 Gb/s) 2.5" SSD.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/NE99535 )
Taking advantage of two PCIe 2.0 lanes and using a Marvell 9182 chipset, the Velocity Solo X2 will enable desktop PCs and Macs to take advantage of the ever increasing speeds in the SSD market. Designed to fit into a PCIe 2.0 x2 slot or larger (typical installation will use a x4 slot), the Velocity Solo X2 enables users to easily add an SSD to their desktop system. Connection of the Velocity Solo PCIe 2.0 card to the SSD is via a super fast SATA III (6 Gb/s) connection. The Velocity Solo X2 also provides an additional SATA III data connection that can be used to connect to another SSD or HDD to provide expanded high speed storage.
For those that have PCIe x1 slots in their desktop, Apricorn's Velocity Solo X1 using ASMedia's 1061 controller chip also provides a super fast upgrade solution. Priced at $49 (Velocity Solo X1) and $99 (Velocity Solo X2) the Velocity Solo family offers a simple solution for instantly boosting desktop performance, whether looking to enhance performance of a new system for high end applications, or to breathe new life into an older machine.
Boot in an instant, open applications in a flash and slash save and import times
The Velocity Solo X2 is the perfect tool to take your desktop to the max. Upgrading your system from a standard 3.5" desktop drive to a super fast SSD to run those high end computing applications, but it's also great for improving your gaming experience.
-- Boot in one third the time
-- Import, open and save large files up to 5x faster
-- Open applications up to 20x faster
-- Super fast disk access during game play for a smoother gaming experience
Features
-- Instantly upgrades your system to an SSD with a SATA III connection
-- Easy install - Fits into a single PCIe 2.0 x2 slot in your computer
-- Compatible with both Desktop PCs and Apple's Mac Pro(®)
-- Auxiliary SATA III connector for a super fast connection to an
additional hard drive or SSD
Simple install
The Velocity Solo X2 is a breeze to install. Connect your 2.5" Solid State Drive to the Velocity Solo SATA III connector and slide into an available PCIe 2.0 x2 slot (or larger) in your desktop. Once installed, clone your hard drive to your new SSD, update your computer's BIOS and your upgrade is complete.
The Velocity Solo is bundled with Apricorn's EZ Gig IV Cloning Software with Data Select. A powerful cloning program that enables you to deselect data folders from the cloning process; useful for migrating from a large capacity HDD to a smaller capacity SSD or for creating a Boot Disk. Run your OS and applications from a fast, smaller SSD boot drive, and keep your documents and media files on your original hard drive.
"With the popularity of our original Velocity Solo Upgrade Kit, we knew that we wanted to up the ante and take advantage of the greater PCIe speeds that larger slots afforded," said Mike McCandless, VP of Sales & Marketing at Apricorn. "By creating the Velocity Solo X2, we were able to take the SSD upgrade a step further with faster PCIe speeds coupled with 6 Gb/s SATA III interface as well. The result: faster OS, applications, and booting, and an improvement in the gaming experience."

Aligned Signs® Connects Members: Love, Friendship and Professional Relationships
New Website Changes Dynamic of Conventional Relationship Sites
SADDLE BROOK, N.J., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The site's tagline, "Get to Know You," is highly indicative of what Aligned Signs® offers: a chance to get to know oneself in order to better communicate with the outside world. Members can choose to be matched with others based on three time-withstanding character indicators: the Myers-Briggs® Personality Type Indicator, Western Astrology and Chinese Zodiac. Each indicator provides a unique way to introspect and evaluate different behavioral characteristics. Aligned Signs® is the first site of its kind to connect people based on specific conscious and subconscious traits, providing the most genuine form of self-awareness.
CEO of Aligned Signs, Jessica Baker built the site with a clear initiative to help members get in touch with their individual, unique personalities:
"The ultimate goal of Aligned Signs is to have more fulfilling relationships - whether for love, friendship or professional contacts. We won't tell you what to look for, but we will equip you with the intrapersonal insight to ensure that you find what you're looking for. In order to maintain successful relationships with others, you must first have a healthy relationship with yourself."
The reason Aligned Signs produces such compatible matches is because the site is based on the most utilized personality indicators available. The Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator Tool is one of the most widely used personality assessments for both personal and professional endeavors, while Chinese Zodiac and Western Astrology have been used for centuries to help people gain insight to traits and preferences.
Aligned Signs' separates itself from typical relationship sites because it is designed to allow members the freedom to seek any type of relationship. Baker explains:
"Dating websites have become ubiquitous over the past decade, but Aligned Signs is part of a new generation of relationship sites. Our members have the option to take this information and apply it to themselves and current relationships and/or meet new people. Being matched using time-tested, widely accepted variables to determine personality; this enables users to find matches based solely on intrinsic compatibility. We allow members to choose the kind of relationship they're looking for because we encourage nothing more than making meaningful connections."

One Hour Translation new Translation Environment Now Supports Dozens of File Types

One Hour Translation new Translation Environment Now Supports Dozens of File Types
One Hour Translation launched its new Translator's Workbench, a new translation environment that supports dozens of file types, including localization files, graphic design files and others.
NICOSIA, Cyprus, Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- One Hour Translation, the largest professional translation service online, just launched its new Translator's Workbench, an advanced translation environment that allows for native translation of multiple file types including MS-Office, Resx and PO localization files, mobile application localization files, open Office, subtitle files, Adobe InDesign and FrameMaker, Xliff and others, in total there are 40 supported file formats.
The new workbench is based on the award winning Crowdin translation tool. "Crowdin and One Hour Translation have a strategic partnership" said Mr. Sergey Dmytryshyn, founder and CEO of Crowdin, "thanks to One Hour Translation our platform is now being used by thousands of translators on a daily basis" added Dmytryshyn.
There is a growing demand for application localization, especially, localization of mobile applications. Today the most common approach is to copy-paste the text for translation from the application, and then copy-paste the translation back into the application. This process is time consuming, cumbersome, and leads to translation errors as well as technical errors in the copying process. The new workbench allows translators to translate the localization files directly by translating the text only, without touching the formatting and other meta-data. The same is true for a wide variety of other file types.
"We process over 1000 application localization projects a week, most developers are copy-pasting the text/ translation. These days are over!" says Mr. Ofer Shoshan, founder and CEO of One Hour Translation "Using the workbench the localization process is streamlined and smooth. Developers just need to upload the files, they get the same files back with the translation already inserted in the right places, thus improving quality and speed" concluded Shoshan.
The new Translator's Workbench does not require any special preparation from the customer. The One Hour Translation management system automatically identifies the uploaded file type and activates the translation environment accordingly.

Lunarline Adds DIARMF to Services and Training Course Offerings
ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Well-knowncyber security company, Lunarline, is adding support to the Department of Defense's upcoming transition from the DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) to the more streamlined and effective process known as DoD Information Assurance Risk Management Framework (DIARMF). Lunarline has developed a suite of services and is preparing DoD employees for the switch by adding DIARMF training to the course offerings at its School of Cyber Security (SCS).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110622/PH24580LOGO )
The new course will include training in the DoD's application of the Risk Management Framework (RMF), new requirements under FISMA 2012, RMF roles and responsibilities, and steps in the RMF process. The class will also provide instruction on how to prepare and submit an authorization package and how to understand and execute continuous monitoring.
"Federal agencies and the Intelligence Community have already transitioned to the use of the NIST Risk Management Framework as the foundation for their assessment and authorization processes," said Dr. Julie Mehan, VP of Cyber Security at Lunarline. "Our services and training provide a way for organizations to position themselves early for the DoD transition to the new framework."
All students who enroll in a 3, 4, or 5 day DIARMF course, or any other multiple day course at SCS, will receive a free Google Nexus 7 tablet. The tablet will be pre-loaded with all course study materials and the students get to keep the tablet after course completion.

Orbitz for Business Promotes Consumerization of Corporate Travel at GBTA Procurement Symposium
Intuitive Technology Key to Driving Online Adoption and Travel Policy Compliance
CHICAGO, Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Procurement Symposium today in Los Angeles, Orbitz for Business Vice President of Strategy and Account Management Mark L. Walton spoke to the importance of "consumerization" in corporate travel through the development of online tools that deliver a planning and booking experience that more closely mirrors the process business travelers already use for leisure travel. Such innovation will continually improve the corporate travel experience for travel managers and travelers alike, Walton argued, leading to increased online adoption and adherence to company policy while empowering travelers with intuitive, convenient technology that truly meets their needs.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120307/CG65517LOGO)
"Travel managers prefer the control and minimized risk of a travel program sourced to a single TMC," said Walton. "But with that control comes a perception among travelers that they have limited choice and flexibility, so we must continue innovating to deliver technology and tools that more closely match the ones travelers already use for their leisure travel bookings. Doing so will provide flexibility and convenience throughout the planning and booking process, which will in turn lead to the increased online adoption travel managers seek to effectively meet company goals."

Auto Brands Turbo Charge Sales with Shopatron's Innovative Fulfillment Options
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexible fulfillment options like in-store pickup and ship-to-store for online orders have put automotive aftermarket merchants that work with Shopatron in the fast lane for growth. In Q3 of 2012, automotive brands working with the retail-integrated eCommerce solution grew online sales 14% over Q3 2011, with some growing as much as 91%.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101109/SHOPATRONLOGO)
In the retail automotive industry, where many products require installation (stereos and accessories) or have high shipping costs (tires and engine parts), traditional ship-to-home eCommerce can be difficult. However, that does not mean consumers do not want to shop and buy automotive products online. According to a recent study by the business intelligence firm Levelwing, 46% of visitors to an auto retailer website visit to research a product for purchase.
In order to be successful, an automotive brand needs to both sell online and integrate a local dealer to support their customers. Lucky for them, this is exactly what Shopatron offers. Shopatron's unique retail-integrated eCommerce solution allows automotive aftermarket brands to sell to consumers through their website and then hand those orders to a local dealer for delivery to the customer, which often includes installation, customization, or other services.
Shopatron's fulfillment solutions, like in-store pickup and ship-to-store, allow online shoppers to choose a local dealer where they want to pick up their order. These options not only eliminate shipping costs and provide customers with the installation service or expert advice they need, they also increase foot traffic to dealers. This is a win-win-win for brands, local dealers, and consumers.
"For specialty automotive brands, being successful online means uniting all of their sales channels," said Shopatron SVP of Marketing Mark Grondin. "Shopatron's unique order management solution blends the online and offline channels into a single, cohesive, and convenient marketplace for consumers."
Shopatron works with more than 60 large and small automotive aftermarket brands including Alpine Electronics, Gibson, Gloss Pro, SuperSprings International and Thule. These brands partner with more than 5,300 dealers to fulfill online orders.
Shopatron will be attending Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 30-November 1; and the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center October 30-November 2.
For more information about Shopatron, or to set up a meeting at the show, visit ecommerce.shopatron.com or call 866-625-5050.
