Digital Realty Opens New London Data Centre

Digital Chessington data centre offers industry-leading cooling and power infrastructure

LONDON, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data centre solutions, has announced the opening of the first two facilities at its new Digital Chessington data centre in South West London.  Two 1,440 KW Turn-Key Flex(SM) data halls are now available to lease, with three additional facilities currently in development that will bring the total capacity at the site to 7,200 KW.

Digital Chessington offers modern, purpose-built tier three data centre space in the London area, with strong communications links to the city centre via a range of diverse carrier options. The development benefits from high-capacity, robust power supplies from a dedicated 18MVA electricity sub-station based on-site.

The Digital Chessington facility reflects the latest advancements in efficient data centre design, enabling very effective power utilisation efficiency (PUE), while supporting a flexible approach to customers'  data centre operations. The facilities' built-in air conditioning infrastructure can natively support both enclosed hot- or cold-aisle cooling that uses outside-air free-cooling for greater power efficiency, as well as an open architecture-based cooling approach.

As a brand-new development, Digital Chessington has been designed to fulfill the practical requirements of enterprise data centre users. The site currently contains three floors of office space, and each data hall benefits from ample staging workspace for technical operations, with lift access and power and cooling facilities throughout.

"Our new Digital Chessington facility is the result of years of experience in data centre design and construction gained across our global operations," said Adam Levine, Vice President, Sales at Digital Realty. "Digital Chessington is ideal for organisations looking for high-quality, dedicated data centre space with excellent fiber connectivity to central London.

"The development takes full advantage of the benefits offered by its location in the Chessington area, ensuring a robust and reliable power supply to spacious, well-provisioned facilities." He added, "Our customers place great faith in our unparalleled record of operating our data centres at 99.999% of uptime or above. As testament to this fact, 33% of the first data hall has been pre-leased and we are registering very strong interest in the remaining space."

New "Smart" Smoke Alarm Technology Answers TODAY Show Concerns

The first new smoke alarm technology in more than 30 years responds quickly to both kinds of fires and reduces nuisance alarms

OWINGS MILLS, Md., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to this morning's TODAY show segment on the dangers of delayed warnings from current smoke alarms, Universal Security Instruments reminds consumers about the new IoPhic smoke and fire alarm with patented microprocessor technology. IoPhic smoke and fire alarms are very effective at detecting fast flaming fires and also respond very quickly to slow smoldering fires- up to 87% faster*** than the maximum allowable alarm limit.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, nuisance alarms or "false" alarms, are the leading cause for intentionally disabled smoke alarms in America. Unfortunately, each fire season also brings reports of serious injuries and deaths, and roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in houses with no smoke alarms or working smoke alarms*. A recent study from the University of Maryland's School of Fire Protection Engineering** shows that consumers now have a better choice when it comes to reducing nuisance alarms in their home. The new, patented IoPhic® smoke and fire alarm from Universal Security Instruments using smart microprocessor technology was proven to be more resistant to false or nuisance alarms than competitors.

"As an expert in fire engineering, I can say that disabling smoke alarms after a nuisance incidence is a very serious problem and can lead to extremely dangerous situations for families. The best solution to protect your family is to purchase a smoke alarm that adapts to many situations and only sounds in the case of a fire," says Dr. James Milke, professor and chair of the Department of Fire Protection Engineering at the University of Maryland. "The study we conducted tested 10 different smoke alarm technologies and the IoPhic was found to be an improvement in smoke alarm technology."

Understanding that you cannot predict the type of fire you may have in your home or when it will occur, Universal Security Instruments launched the IoPhic line to help protect families from fires as well as prevent nuisance alarms. Whether it is a fast flaming fire that spreads quickly or a slow smoldering fire that can burn for hours before bursting into flame, installing IoPhic smoke alarms ensures maximum detection of both types of fires from a single alarm. Using patented Universal Smoke Sensing Technology(TM), the breakthrough microprocessor is the first new smoke alarm technology to launch in thirty years and is ideal for every room in the home.

"It's extremely common for people to disable their alarms due to a nuisance source such as cooking smoke or steam from the shower," says Greg Boggs, President of the African American Firefighter's and Paramedic's League of Chicago. "In fact, we see a lot of deadly situations in homes with no working smoke alarms. This proves that having a disabled smoke alarm is as potentially dangerous as not having one."

IoPhic patented microprocessor technology contains an algorithm that allows the alarm to differentiate between everyday cooking smoke, steam and, most importantly, real fires. IoPhic smoke and fire alarms are available at Homedepot.com in both 9V battery and 120V hard wire versions.

To educate families and raise awareness of the dangers of smoke alarm nuisances, and how to best protect their families from both fast flaming and slow smoldering fires, Universal Security Instruments is launching the website http://www.smokeandgasalarms.com next week, which will offer tips, expert advice and videos on fire and home safety. Universal Security Instruments can also be found at http://www.Facebook.com/UniversalHomeSafety.

Universal Security Instruments, Inc. is a U.S. based company and distributes safety and security products. Founded in 1969, the company has an over 40-year heritage of developing innovative and easy-to-install products, including smoke, fire, carbon monoxide and natural gas alarms.

Bascom Research, LLC Files Patent Litigation Lawsuits Against Facebook, Inc. and LinkedIn Corp.

Infringement Alleged on Patents Critical to Social and Business Networking Technology

Damages and Injunctive Relief Sought

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bascom Research, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lexington Technology Group, Inc., filed patent infringement lawsuits today against five social and business networking companies, including Facebook, Inc. and LinkedIn Corp., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. At issue are several patents that are instrumental to social and business networking technology.

"We strongly believe that Facebook, LinkedIn and the other defendants are infringing our patents," says Lexington Technology Group CEO Will Rosellini. "Our pioneering technology was patented as early as 2001--long before the advent of Facebook, LinkedIn and other social and business networks--and covers key aspects of online collaboration and relationship linking."

Earlier this week, Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE MKT: DSS), a leader in anti-counterfeit, authentication, and mass-serialization technologies, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to merge with Lexington Technology Group. The merger is expected to become final in the first quarter of 2013, at which point Bascom Research will become a subsidiary of DSS. More information can be found at http://www.lex-tg.com.

Document Security Systems and Lexington Technology Group, Inc. will host a conference call on Thursday, October 4 at 4:00 PM to discuss the merger.

    --  Time: 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
    --  Date: Thursday, October 4th, 2012
    --  Investor Dial In (Toll Free): 877-407-9205
    --  Investor Dial In (International): 201-689-8054
    --  Live Webcast URL: :
        http://www.investorcalendar.com/IC/CEPage.asp?ID=169854
A replay of the teleconference will be available until October 24, 2012, which can be accessed by dialing (877) 660-6853 if calling within the U.S. or (201) 612-7415 if calling internationally. Please enter account #286 and conference ID # 4013037 to access the replay.

Based in McLean, VA, Bascom Research acquired a patent portfolio of six patents and four pending patent applications related to technology invented by Thomas L. Bascom, who independently developed pivotal technology for use in the telecom and national security sectors. This patented technology has been commercialized by Mr. Bascom's previous company, LinkSpace, LLC, and is a means of organizing data and relationships, and sharing information in a computer network.

Bascom Research believes defendants are in violation of key patents covering this technology, and is seeking a judgment of infringement, injunctive relief and appropriate damages. Bascom's innovations cover the manner in which users and application developers on the Facebook platform make connections between "objects" such as photos, people, events and pages - which is the very essence of Facebook's business.

The patents that are the subject of the lawsuits are:

    --  U.S. Patent No. 7,111,232 ("the '232 Patent"), entitled Method and
        system for making document objects available to users of a network
    --  U.S. Patent No. 7,139,974 ("the '974 Patent"), entitled FRAMEWORK FOR
        MANAGING DOCUMENT OBJECTS STORED ON A NETWORK
    --  U.S. Patent No. 7,389,241 ("the '241 Patent"), entitled METHOD FOR USERS
        OF A NETWORK TO PROVIDE OTHER USERS WITH ACCESS TO LINK RELATIONSHIPS
        BETWEEN DOCUMENTS
    --  U.S. Patent No. 7,158,971 ("the '971 Patent"), entitled METHOD FOR
        SEARCHING DOCUMENT OBJECTS ON A NETWORK
In addition to Facebook, Inc. and LinkedIn Corporation, the other defendants in the case are: Jive Software, Inc., BroadVision, Inc. and Novell, Inc. The cases are:

    --  Bascom Research, LLC v. Facebook, Inc., Civil Action No:
        1:12-cv-1111-LMB-JFA
    --  Bascom Research, LLC v. LinkedIn Corporation., Civil Action No:

    --  Bascom Research, LLC v. BroadVision, Inc., Civil Action No:
        1:12-cv-1115-LMB-JFA

Leading U.S. Wireless Operators Among World's First to Offer LG Optimus G with Quad-Core Power and Speed

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics today announced that the high-powered LG Optimus G superphone will be available in the United States on the AT&T and Sprint networks. As the world's first quad-core LTE (Long-Term Evolution) smartphone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon(TM) S4 Pro processor, LG Optimus G is not only one of the fastest phones on the market, but also one of the most powerful.

Designed to set a new standard in the industry, LG Optimus G combines LG's leading LTE, display and energy technologies with Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro processor to create an extremely fast and incredible mobile experience. Equipped with a high-density 2,100mAh battery and impressive 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display, Optimus G users can seamlessly multitask between personal, business and entertainment needs and go beyond the boundaries of traditional on-the-go smartphone capabilities.

"LG Optimus G is the culmination of cutting-edge technologies provided by LG's class-leading global entities," said James Fishler, senior vice president, marketing and go-to-market operations, LG Electronics USA. "Drawing upon expertise from the LG Mobile Communications Company, LG Display, LG Chem and LG Innotek , we have carefully designed a new superphone  that encourages users to step beyond everyday boundaries and explore a limitless world of power and creativity."

The elegant yet sleek design and the imaginative user experience displayed in the new Optimus G are made possible thanks to a collection of technologies from industry-leading developers in their fields. State-of-the-art display technologies from LG Innotek and LG Display such as True HD IPS Plus and Zerogap Touch, a unibody unitthat eliminates the gap between the glass and the LCD panel, harmonize to offer one of the slimmest, sharpest and clearest viewing experience yet. The new battery from LG Chem has a longer life designed for multitasking. An ultra high-resolution, compact camera is employed in the Optimus G to offer super sharp photos without pixilation.

Sprint and AT&T will be among the first wireless service providers in the world to offer the LG Optimus G, which is powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor - a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU processor with Asysnchronous Symmetric Multiprocessing, which enables each core to power up and down independently to increase performance while saving battery life.

Combined with LTE technology, the impressive processor allows users to easily and quickly view a video while running other apps at the same time. All of this power and functionality is housed in a light weight, eye-catching slim body to cater to fashionable lifestyles. LG developed and patented Crystal Reflection to give the back cover the ability to display different patterns depending on the angle and lighting. The intricate pattern gives Optimus G a clean finish reminiscent of a jewel.

The Optimus G creates the perfect combination of pleasure and functionality through a unique user experience not seen on any other device. While mobile communication, business, and entertainment are easily accommodated with the Optimus G, the all-new device can also release one's inner artist with a wide range of features including:

    --  The QSlide Function shows two different screens simultaneously on one
        display so users can quickly send an important work email while playing

NASA Tournament Lab & TopCoder Launch Big Data Challenge Series for U.S. Government Agencies

Ideation Competitions Seek New Solutions to Integrate Information Across Fields of Health, Energy and Earth Sciences

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TopCoder®, Inc., the world's largest competitive Community of digital creators today announced the launch of the Big Data Challenge - a series of ideation competitions hosted through the NASA Tournament Lab (NTL) to create mobile applications that integrate across multiple United States agencies data repositories related to the field of health, energy and earth sciences. Competitors will be tasked with imagining tools and techniques that find new value hidden in discrete government information domains and then describing how they may be shared as universal, cross-agency solutions that transcend the limitations of individual silos. Registration is open today through 10/13/2012 for the Ideation Challenge phase, the first of four idea generation competitions in the series. For full competition details and registration visit:
http://community.topcoder.com/coeci/nitrd

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080820/NYW078LOGO )

Sponsored by the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development program, (NITRD), the Big Data Challenge series is a partnership between NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy (DoE), TopCoder and Harvard Business School. The goal of the series is to apply the process of Open Innovation (OI) to conceptualizing novel approaches to extracting value from the  huge information sets residing in various agency silos and delivering impactful value while remaining consistent with individual agency missions.

The opportunity to contribute to a matter of national importance draws many individuals and teams from diverse fields within the general public, so beyond cash prizes are the rewards of peer recognition and the satisfaction that comes with making a real impact on a significant challenge.

The TopCoder Open Innovation platform and process allows U.S. government agencies to conduct high risk/high reward challenges in an open and transparent environment with predictable cost, measurable outcomes-based results and the potential to move quickly into unanticipated directions and new areas of software technology.Big data is a term applied to data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data sizes are a constantly moving target currently ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data in a single data set.

"The TopCoder platform for Open Innovation is the most sophisticated platform of its kind available today in the digital space," said Rob Hughes, President and COO of TopCoder, Inc. "Matched with the power and talent of the TopCoder Community, we look forward to seeing new value created out of existing government big data that will manifest itself in new tools and services for both American consumers and industry."

The TopCoder platform supports the entire end-to-end digital creation lifecycle - from idea conception to implementation and support through a true collaborative open innovation model.  Almost any type of content, application, algorithm or digital asset can be built entirely through the platform - whether a standalone mobile app through to enhancements or additions to large, existing enterprise systems to the development of entirely new cloud based offerings for customers to testing and support through small enhancements and bug fixes.  All areas of digital creation are covered through one easy to use cloud based Innovation as a Platform (IaaP) offering accessing TopCoder's renowned community of over 425,000 members - from business analysis to creative asset creation, analytics and sophisticated processes for API, software design and development as well as digital content.

NuWallet Delivers Integration Toolkit for osCommerce and General-Use Integration Instructions for Mobile-Enabled eCommerce Merchants

DALLAS, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NuWallet, Inc., a mobile payment and personal information management application provider, has released a pre-tested integration toolkit for the osCommerce, open source, shopping cart platform; as well as, a general-use integration instruction set for any eCommerce merchant who wants to fully leverage mobile-based transactions.

The NuWallet digital wallet app cuts the mobile checkout process from minutes to just a few seconds by securely auto-populating the user's billing and shipping information into the merchant's checkout page to quickly complete a transaction. The app significantly reduces the potential of costly input errors, which not only frustrate the customer, but also increase the likelihood of shopper abandonment.

NuWallet has made integration with merchants easy and affordable. Merchants simply add basic script code to their online shopping carts, while remaining fully compatible with their established back-end payment processing solution. NuWallet is working to provide additional toolkits for other popular online shopping carts and has published an easy-to-follow integration script for custom or private shopping cart platforms.

"The integration of the NuWallet software to our proprietary shopping cart was extremely easy, and I like the fact the NuWallet technology is credit card agnostic" says Mark Lowe, eCommerce CTO for Catholic Faith Store, Dressy Days and USA Made Jewelry. "This technology is important to us because our sites are mobile-enhanced and we're experiencing dramatic growth in the number of mobile-based purchases" he said.

"We believe the consumer will enjoy the speed of the automated checkout process, using only a few taps of the finger to complete a transaction" said George Hendrix, NuWallet's President and CEO. By making checkout easy and fast for the consumer, the NuWallet app leads to a higher mobile-based conversion rate which reduces abandonment of the purchase for the merchant.

Unlike other mobile wallet payment processes that charge additional per-transaction fees and/or expensive usage fees, NuWallet offers an affordable, fixed annual license fee for participating merchants regardless how many transactions occur or the purchase amounts.

Key Features on the NuWallet Shopping Cart Application:

    --  Secure communication between the checkout page and the NuWallet app
    --  Automated and accurate payment data from the consumer
    --  Payment option flexibility
    --  Automated shipping data from the consumer
Availability:

The NuWallet Toolkit and Integration Instructions are now available via NuWallet's web site. From now through January 14th, 2013, merchants can use the solution license free.

    --  Toolkit for osCommerce
    --  Integration Instructions for proprietary shopping carts
    --  Integration Instructions for open source shopping carts
    --  Other Toolkits coming
About NuWallet:

NuWallet is a patent-pending technology of NuWallet, Inc. and was founded by a team of industry veterans with a vast amount of experience in credit card processing; merchant services; banking and cash management and the internet security industry.

65% of IT Pros are Satisfied or Extremely Satisfied With Windows Server 2012, New InformationWeek Reports Research Finds

28% will have the OS deployed on some servers by June 2013.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- InformationWeek Reports (http://reports.informationweek.com), a service provider for peer-based IT research and analysis, announced the release of its latest research report. Windows 8 Survival Guide: Server 2012 encompasses analysis of results from InformationWeek's recent Windows 8 Survey<s> </s>and guides readers in determining a timeline for deployment of Microsoft's latest server OS. More than 850 business technology professionals responded to this poll.

(Info: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/SF84188-INFO)

Research Summary:

Windows Server 2012 is being overshadowed by Windows 8; however, the server side of Microsoft's ambitious road map will likely make a far greater impact on most companies in 2013 vs. the client-side OS. The 452 respondents at organizations upgrading to Windows 8 have an average of 26% of their servers still running on Windows Server 2003 (22%) Windows Server 2000 (4%).

Findings: 

    --  77% of our survey respondents have Microsoft Hyper-V in use now (34%) or
        are open to adopting the hypervisor.
    --  22% now run Windows Server 2003; by 2014, that number will drop to just
        5%.
    --  20% say single pane of glass management for all Windows Servers in the
        domain will have a significant impact on their shops.
    --  3% say they'll wait for Service Pack 1 to deploy Server 2012.
The report author, Randy George, has covered a wide range of network infrastructure and information security topics in his six years as a contributor to InformationWeek and Network Computing.

For full access to the research data, members can download now: http://reports.informationweek.com/abstract/24/9015/Storage-Server/windows-8-survival-guide-server-2012.html?cid=rpt_press_rls

"We haven't seen much in the trade press about Server 2012's support for single-pane-of-glass management for all Windows Servers in a domain," says Lorna Garey, content director of InformationWeek Reports. "But our respondents are more interested in that than even a more-capable version of Hyper-V."

In addition to distributing the collaborative art made by the hitRECord community, because of the relationship with Sony, hitRECord will be able to pay its artists more than it ever has before.

GainSpan Launches Dual-Band Wi-Fi Modules for Interference-Free Connectivity in Challenging Environments

New GS1550M/MD 802.11a/b/g/n dual-band solution ideal for healthcare facilities and industrial applications

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GainSpan(®) Corporation, a leader in low power embedded Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi connectivity for the Internet of Things, today announced a dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi solution that utilizes both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz spectrum, enabling customers to access cleaner spectrum for applications requiring relatively interference-free bandwidth.  The new GS1550M/MD family provides reliable wireless connections, particularly in challenging environments such as healthcare facilities and industrial applications. 

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/SF85582)

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120305/SF63380LOGO-b)

According to ABI Research, with a skyrocketing number of Wi-Fi devices crowding the 2.4GHz band, Wi-Fi users are looking for dual-band products that leverage the 5GHz band given its superior performance in an environment with lots of potential interference.  The GS1550M/MD provides a quick, easy and cost-effective way for manufacturers to add dual-band wireless capabilities.

The new GS1550M/MD family consists of two modules:  the GS1550M which supports a dual-band stamped antenna and the GS1550MD which supports two dual-band external antennas for antenna diversity. The antenna diversity enhances signal coverage. 

A complete solution for 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi applications, the GS1550M/MD family features two UART and SPI interfaces for ease of integration with any 8/16/32-bit microcontroller and comes preloaded with serial to Wi-Fi firmware for communication with the MCU and complete Wi-Fi functionality. The modules offer advanced networking features and capabilities not readily available with other Wi-Fi modules including easy provisioning from a smartphone or web browser, over-the-air firmware updates, personal and enterprise wireless security, embedded DHCP, DNS and HTTP(S) servers/client software, XML parser, advanced mDNS/DNS-SD based device and service discovery and more.

The modules support data rates up to 150 Mbps, can operate in infrastructure or Limited AP mode and are fully compliant with 802.11a/b/g/n specifications. The modules provide support for peer-to-peer networking, allowing devices to connect to one another without an access point. The modules will be fully certified for major worldwide regulatory regions. 

The highly integrated architecture of the family provides effective and dynamic power management. With both a Sleep and Deep Sleep option the modules can be rapidly put to sleep to reduce power consumption without loss of data and can then recover from the Deep Sleep state back to full operation in a few milliseconds. The modules also support a very low-power Standby mode, which reduces power consumption to a few microseconds.

For maximum design reuse, the GS1550M/MD family is pin-and-footprint compatible with the company's GS1011M and GS1500M modules, giving device manufacturers the capability to use current designs to add "11a" capabilities. The GS1550M/MD modules are single-sided and designed so they can be easily soldered down on the customer application baseboard.

"Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities as well as factory floors and industrial warehouses create some of the worst environments for Wi-Fi, given all the various devices, obstructions, delay sensitive applications and RF interference found there," said Bernard Aboussouan, vice president of marketing at GainSpan.  "The 5GHz spectrum is unique and effective for overcoming these limits and as a result, it is becoming a 'must have' capability for these types of applications."

The dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n GS1550M and GS1550MD are the newest additions to GainSpan's portfolio of Wi-Fi modules which include the soldered down GS1500M (802.11b/g/n), ultra-low power GS1011M (802.11b), the size-optimized GS1011MIxS and GS1011MExS as well as the connectorized GS1011MIC and GS1011MExSC modules.   

Availability

The new GS1550MD/M 802.11a/b/g/n low power Wi-Fi modules are sampling now.  They will ship in volume production in Q4 2012 with FCC/ETSI/IC regulatory certification and Wi-Fi Alliance(®) certification for 11a/b/g/n operation as well as Wi-Fi Direct(TM). Customers will be able to purchase the modules at GainSpan's online store or through GainSpan's distributors.

RHYTHM CENTRAL: Mickey Hart and Dr. Adam Gazzaley Make History Through Visualizing and Sonifying Brain Activity in Real Time for Live Audience

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mickey Hart, Grateful Dead percussionist, and neurologist Adam Gazzaley, M.D., Ph.D., professor at the University of California San Francisco made history by becoming the first to sonify and visualize brain activity in real time in front of a live audience. The two did so at the closing session of Life @50+, the AARP National Event & Expo in New Orleans on September 22(nd).  To see footage from the event, go to http://bit.ly/LifesRhythmsReimagined.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/LA85933)

Dr. Gazzaley has extensively studied how the brain handles memory, attention and aging.  Gazzaley awed the crowd midway through the session by strapping an EEG on Hart as he paced, clutching a drum, while images of the rhythms coursing through his brain were displayed on the giant screens throughout the hall.  As the audience looked on, Gazzaley explained what was happening, adjusting to show more or fewer rhythms coursing through Mickey's brain. "This is scary," Mickey joked.

"It all comes down to vibration and the rhythm of things," Hart says of his collaboration with Dr. Gazzaley. "Can you imagine being able to entrain with these rhythms and focus on a certain part of the brain?  To be able to see what part of the brain lights up while you play a certain instrument, a certain rhythm at a certain amplitude.  What does the brain look like before, during, and after an auditory driving experience?" Hart continues, "This is about breaking the rhythm code, our genome project.  Once we know what rhythm truly does, then we'll be able to control it, and use it medicinally for diagnostics, for health reasons.  To be able to reconnect the synapses, the connections that are broken in Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,  that's where we are heading." It's just the beginning, as far as Hart is concerned. "I've been working in my field for many years and so has Adam, it's a handshake between science and art. Life is all about rhythm, and the brain is Rhythm Central."

"There are many simultaneous rhythms in the brain," Gazzaley explained. "The rhythms of your brain are now understood to be a critical factor in perception, decision making, memory, attention and language. Moreover, the rhythms in different brain areas synchronize, allowing them to communicate with each other like kids on a swing. Brain rhythms are also related to many brain diseases, the most obvious being Parkinson's and Tinnitus, where you see a tremor and hear a ringing in your ear. You might not think of depression, ADHD, schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease, but they all reveal changes in the brain's rhythms."

Hart demonstrated the natural power of group rhythmic entrainment by leading a 1,000 person drum circle. Hart and Gazzaley's collaboration reinforced recent studies that show that playing a musical instrument can exercise and strengthen the aging brain.  Their mission is to raise money to launch additional research on the positive interplay between rhythm, music and cognitive health, and once and for all prove what many already know.

Rhythm is a fundamental aspect of the universe at every level, and serves as a critical foundation for life on this planet. As we now understand it, brain function itself is dependent on complex rhythms of activity, which guides interactions between brain regions to generate synchronized neural networks from which our minds emerge. The goal of this collaborative project, Rhythm and the Brain, is to advance our understanding of the role of rhythm in higher-order brain function and also how we can influence brain rhythms through novel interventions (e.g., neuromodulation, rhythm training, video game training, neurofeedback). The ultimate goal is to improve cognition and mood in the healthy and impaired, thus positively impacting the quality of our lives.

HarQen Introduces Hypervoice at Oracle OpenWorld

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2012 ORACLE OPENWORLD /PRNewswire/ -- HarQen, creator of Symposia, has introduced Hypervoice, a new paradigm for organizing, performing and navigating voice conversations.  Symposia's Hypervoice capabilities have been integrated with Oracle Social Network via Oracle Sales and Marketing Cloud Service to help drive efficient and effective sales conversations.

By transforming voice into a native Web object, Hypervoice breaks recorded voice down into smaller bits of audio that can be searched, shared and secured independently. Just as hypertext took text from linear to dynamic, Hypervoice takes voice from real-time, linear conversations to dynamic, asynchronous communications.

"Hypervoice links what we say to what we do," said Martin Geddes, a noted telecom expert, futurist and editor of Hypervoice.org, "creating a unified activity stream of everything we say and do." 

During Oracle OpenWorld, the integration of Symposia's Hypervoice capabilities into Oracle Social Network that customers access via Oracle Sales and Marketing Cloud Service will be demonstrated, including how its users can link, tag and easily share small parts of their conversations as easily as they can share text. With HarQen-enabled CallMe functionality, users can join, interact with and review conversations all directly within the activity stream. 

"Oracle Social Network is valuable for partners as it interoperates with other Oracle applications, including Oracle Sales and Marketing Cloud Service," said HarQen Co-Founder & CEO E. Kelly Fitzsimmons, who presented as part of Oracle PartnerNetwork Exchange at the "Develop Premier User Engagement for Social Business with Oracle WebCenter Suite"session. 

"Thanks to this platform, HarQen has been able to integrate once and serve many applications simultaneously," said Fitzsimmons.

One of the primary benefits of Hypervoice is being able to share quick highlights from a conversation with stakeholders not on the original call.

Oracle Sales and Marketing Cloud Service users will be able to capture important sales calls, using their notes as the natural markup of the audio being recorded. Conversation elements will now be searchable in both text and voice - in any language - and easily shareable with select colleagues.

In addition, Hypervoice will help trace crucial agreements back to the point of decision. For example, users will be able to find and listen to the exact point in time when parties reached agreement during a contract negotiation.

"Given the importance of linking what we say to what we do, ultimately Hypervoice conversations will replace telephony in the enterprise," said Geddes.

HarQen is a Gold level member in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).

About HarQen
HarQen unleashes the richness of information trapped inside conversations - transforming talk into actionable insights.  HarQen's award-winning Intelligent Voice Services enable conversations to be captured, enriched, organized and shared - improving collaboration and adding an entirely new layer of business intelligence to existing data management systems. Milwaukee-based HarQen was founded in 2007 and is privately funded.

New App My Instastory Adds Exciting New Dimensions to Instagram Photos

Instagram users can create short personal clips from their photos and share them with the Instagram community as well as Facebook, Twitter and email, thus increasing their level of expression and outreach

DOVER, Del., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- InstaStory Inc. has published the application My Instastory, which lets Instagram users easily put together some of their Instagram photos, match them up with music of their choice, add various transition effects and texts, and create a short clip which brings out the story behind the images. In the two weeks since My Instastory has been published on the iPhone App-Store, thousands of "insta-stories" have already been shared by Instagram users, capturing interesting and personal moments with pictures of children, places, friends, pets, sports and music events - many themes that users found exciting and worthy of sharing, beyond the single photos.

My Instastory is available for download from: http://itunes.apple.com/app/my-instastory/id549776169 .

Unlike previous video/presentation editing apps, My Instastory is fully immersed in the Instagram ecosystem, does not require any editing skills or complexity, nor tedious waiting for upload time. By limiting the clip time to 40 seconds, My Instastory helps the user focus on a short, meaningful "story" expressed with photos and music, and creates a visual and emotional language that practically everybody can relates to and chime in - not unlike the way Twitter helped people focus their expressions by limiting the messages to 140 characters.

My Instastory was conceived when Patrick Sebag, a renowned video and music producer and owner of the music label "Tesha Studio" was celebrating his first year of using Instagram, and was searching for a way to put together some of his Instagram photos and display them to the sound of his favorite music. After failing to find an easy tool to do that right on his iPhone, he contacted his friends Dror Davidoff and Emil Alon, both successful Israeli high-tech entrepreneurs, and together they built a small professional team that rapidly developed the application.

The development has been self-funded by the team, and recently some investors are in discussion with InstaStory regarding capital investment.

About InstaStory Inc.

InstaStory Inc. is a Delaware company with an engineering branch in Tel-Aviv, Israel. InstaStory is devoted to delivering tools for the Instagram community, as well as the larger audience of mobile users, to enhance their creativity and sharing experience.

E-book Memoir by Time-Life Correspondent in Moscow in 1962 Offers Fresh Look at Civilization's Near-Death During the Cuban Missile Crisis

KENT, Conn., Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ESCAPE FROM OBLIVION: A Moscow Correspondent's Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis, by Donald S. Connery, has just been published as an Amazon e-book in time to mark the 50(th) anniversary of the Oct. 16-28, 1962 nuclear standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union. The book is unique among the many works on the singular event in human history that almost ended human history.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/NY85659 )

As one of the most-traveled of the early Cold War reporters, and now the last still-working American journalist based in Moscow during the crisis, Mr. Connery has produced an extraordinary, highly personal eyewitness account of the frightening thirteen days that brought the world to the brink of a thermonuclear war. He sets the near-death moment of civilization against the background of the superpower conflict--and Russia's internal difficulties--that he reported from Asia, Europe and Africa in the 1950s and '60s.

He reveals that the citizens of the Soviet police state, who were kept in ignorance about the near collision between the U.S. and the USSR, remained calm while many Americans were in panic. He tells how Russians, "Americans in disguise" as seen during his far-reaching trips in 1961-1962, believed that they were drawing closer to the U.S. even as the Soviet government under Premier Nikita Khrushchev defied President John F. Kennedy by secretly shipping nuclear weapons and tens of thousands of troops to Cuba.

For the first time in any book about the superpower confrontation, the author offers a detailed look at the preceding but long-forgotten U.S.-USSR cultural honeymoon in the autumn of 1962. Such visiting luminaries as Igor Stravinsky, George Balanchine and Robert Frost were acclaimed by adoring Russian fans in Moscow and Leningrad.

Younger readers unfamiliar with the communist way of life in the Soviet Union half a century ago may be moved by the author's account of the struggles and yearnings of ordinary Russians--"the enemy" in the eyes of many Americans at the time--long before the Soviet state collapsed in 1991. His many interviews reveal the bitter humor people used as a weapon against the rulers who denied them access to the world outside.

A recent visitor to today's Russia during the Putin era, Mr. Connery shatters the myths about who started the Cuban missile crisis and who was the victor after both Khrushchev and Kennedy rejected the advice of the hard-liners that might have led to World War III.

Donald S. Connery, the author of six books, is a World War II veteran and Harvard graduate who was a United Press reporter at the United Nations when the Cold War broke into the open in 1946. In the following decades he roamed the world for TIME and LIFE magazines during the heyday of their global influence. As described in Escape From Oblivion, his 6,000-mile Trans-Siberian Railway journey from the Far East to Moscow in 1961, a postwar first by an American correspondent, led to a world scoop for his magazines. His NBC radio and television reports from Moscow during the missile crisis brought news of the gathering storm into millions of American homes. As an independent journalist since 1960s, Mr. Connery has been a pioneer in investigating "wrong man" cases and exposing the magnitude of major-crime wrongful convictions--tens of thousands each year--in America's "broken" criminal justice system. 

The $2.99 e-book is available at http://www.amazon.com/ESCAPE-FROM-OBLIVION-Correspondents-ebook/dp/B009H2RH3U

In addition to video lecture content, the participants are able to engage with faculty in several live sessions through the course of the program.

Mozy Reseller Program Hits Its Stride

Milestones in 2012 Include New Pricing, Enhancements to Mozy Reseller Program

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MSP WORLD -- Mozy(®), the world's most trusted provider of data access and backup for consumers and businesses, today at MSPWorld is showcasing significant enhancements to its Mozy Reseller Program in 2012 including:

    --  A revamped Reseller Program and portal 2.0 in the U.S. and Europe
    --  The debut of fully customizable, co-branded marketing and sales
        materials
    --  A new MDF program
    --  New lead management tools (including opportunity registration) to help
        resellers grow their businesses with Mozy
    --  Lead sharing for Mozy Platinum(TM) resellers
    --  New channel-friendly pricing for MozyPro(®) and MozyEnterprise(®)
Increasing demand from small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) for professional-grade online data backup and access solutions has resulted in the doubling of Mozy's channel business the past three years and rapid growth in new markets including Europe and Asia.

"We've never been more focused as a company on selling Mozy through the channel than we are right now," said Darrell Gamble, Director of Channel Sales at Mozy, recognized as a CRN Channel Chief for 2012. "Since we rolled out our all-new reseller portal and new pricing for MozyPro and MozyEnterprise earlier in the year, the feedback from our resellers has been tremendous. We're here at MSPWorld talking to MSPs about how they can introduce recurring revenue streams into their business by reselling Mozy's industry leading suite of world-class cloud services."

"Before we became a Mozy reseller we went through several of the online backup competitors and reviewed their products," said Dan Winterhalter at Infitech LLC (http://www.infitech.net), a managed service provider (MSP) based in West Chester, OH. "What we found right off the bat was that the Mozy pricing was right, the product worked well, and it had the best feature set when it comes to server backup. Those things were the most important to us. Since then we've been able to get to know their people and watch Mozy constantly improve the product and the reseller program over time. We now have over 400 active clients on Mozy, backing up multiple terabytes of data. And we're only just getting started."

The opportunity and need for technology resellers to include value-added online data access and backup services in their portfolios has never been greater.

According to oft-quoted research from DTI/Price Waterhouse Coopers, 7 out of 10 small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year. Just as alarming, a full 96% of all business workstations are not being backed up (Contingency Planning and Strategic Research Corporation).

"Seven years ago when Mozy was founded, our mission was to 'back up the world,'" said Gamble, "We're now covering everything from home computers to mission-critical servers and workstations, and Mozy backup is in use at SMBs, mid-market companies and large enterprises. And we have our trusted partners to thank for much of that growth. Our partners told us what tools they needed to be successful, and ever since we've been focused on delivering a world-class channel program."

Complete information about the Mozy Reseller Program and the enhancements announced earlier in 2012 are available at http://partners.mozy.com.

New Mobile App Developed to Save Thousands of Lives in Earthquakes

SYDNEY, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A revolutionary new iPhone App called Earthquake Buddy has been developed to locate loved ones in the world's earthquake zones during the event of an earthquake.

According to CEO of the development company, The App Collective, Adam Wells, the creation of Earthquake Buddy was stimulated out of a need to better assist rescue services after an earthquake.

"We were astonished to learn that most rescue services are often flummoxed at where to start finding missing victims of large earthquakes," said Wells.

The app, once downloaded, prompts users to enter their own details and those of 4 friends or family members in order to become their 'Buddies'.

In the event of an earthquake registering above 5.5, the user's buddies will instantaneously receive an email displaying a Google map of the user's location.

The email is designed to be received prior to any Telco outage and is sent from the cloud so users do not have to rely on the iPhone itself. Buddies also have the option of receiving an SMS, a Facebook post and a Tweet with the same details.

The technology has been designed for those living in earthquake regions as well as tourists and business people intending to travel to Earthquake-prone destinations such as Japan, Asia and West Coast USA.

The company is introducing the technology through a number of prominent world organizations including the UN, The World Bank's disaster management arm and the World President's Organization.

"Our aim is to introduce the app online and at a ground level through world organizations who can implement their duty of care by ensuring all smartphone users carry this app," said Wells.   

Professor Ed Blakely, known as the global 'Recovery Tsar' who led the Hurricane Katrina recovery, has also thrown his weight behind the life-saving technology.

"The app's ingenuity, coupled with the harnessing of community engagement, makes this the best rescue app in the world."

Earthquake Buddy is available from the App Store and is available in English, Spanish and Japanese. 

An Android version of the app is due to launch soon.

Professor Blakely and Adam Wells are available for interview.
