Pandora Applauds Reps. Chaffetz and Polis and Sen. Wyden for Addressing Fair Internet Radio Royalty Rate Standards

Pandora Applauds Reps. Chaffetz and Polis and Sen. Wyden for Addressing Fair Internet Radio Royalty Rate Standards
OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pandora (NYSE: P) released a statement regarding the Internet Radio Fairness Act of 2012, introduced today by Representatives Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Jared Polis (D-CO) along with Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110615/SF20192LOGO)
The statement, from Pandora Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Tim Westergren, reads:
"Pandora applauds Reps. Chaffetz and Polis and Sen. Wyden for their sponsorship of the Internet Radio Fairness Act of 2012 and urges legislators to act quickly to extend a fair rate standard to internet radio. As written, the legislation would establish a level playing field for internet radio by putting it under the same rate standard of the Copyright Act as cable and satellite radio.
"Royalty rates for different formats of digital radio are astonishingly unequal. Currently, internet radio shoulders the largest royalty burden, far higher than any other form of radio. Last year, Pandora paid roughly 50 percent of its total revenue in royalties, more than six times the percentage paid by SiriusXM. The Internet Radio Fairness Act of 2012 addresses this discriminatory practice of favoring one form of digital radio over another by extending the common standard to include internet radio.
"The discrimination against internet radio is not only fundamentally unfair, it also undermines the growth of an exciting new form of radio that listeners have embraced, and that provides unprecedented exposure and revenue for thousands of working artists. A more equitable rate structure would drive investment and innovation, bringing greater choice for consumers, and ultimately greater revenue for performing artists. This bill is a win for consumers, artists and technology innovation."

Crowdbase Raises Seed Funding to Reinvent How Businesses Capture, Organize, and Improve Team Knowledge

Crowdbase Raises Seed Funding to Reinvent How Businesses Capture, Organize, and Improve Team Knowledge
QUEBEC CITY, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Crowdbase (http://www.crowdbase.com), a Canadian start-up that is reinventing how teams capture and
organize knowledge, has secured $650k in seed financing from Real
Ventures, iNovia Capital, and Martin-Luc Archambault (Bolidea) to
accelerate product development and expand its team.
Capturing Team Knowledge
Crowdbase addresses the problem of dealing with the increasing amount of
data flowing into a company that becomes lost in the unstructured
clutter of user inboxes, notes and web history, or more importantly,
lost when an employee leaves.
Crowdbase allows teams to easily share questions, answers, notes, and
Web links in a private social network, and then intelligently
structures that data into relevant topics and pages. Unlike solutions
such as corporate social networks in which content quickly becomes
overshadowed by newer information, Crowdbase's solution enables
critical knowledge to be better organized, searched, and shared, making
businesses work far more productively.
"Building a limitless pool of collective knowledge that can be highly
organized and retrieved at any time in the future makes organizations
significantly more efficient. As the amount of data grows, so will the
need for Crowdbase," said Chris Arsenault, Managing Partner at iNovia
Capital.
Albert Dang-Vu, Crowdbase's CEO, added, "Businesses today are still
sharing information using e-mails and status updates. Because of the
quantity and speed at which information arrives, it is extremely
difficult for people to know what in fact is even relevant. With this
increasing amount of unstructured information, critical knowledge is
eventually lost. Businesses are struggling to keep up with this new
reality and are seeking an effective means to more efficiently share
meaningful knowledge within an organization. This is the exact
challenge Crowdbase is addressing with its new social knowledge
platform."
Organizing and Improving Team Knowledge
Crowdbase features a proprietary technology that analyzes social
interactions and information collected by each user or team. Crowdbase
then builds a knowledge-graph and interest-graph for each individual's
private group. By better understanding each member's expertise and
interests, Crowdbase can create a highly personalized discovery and
learning experience for each user.
Dang-Vu also noted, "In a world where employees are more transient than
ever, it is increasingly critical for businesses' long-term survival to
attempt to retain people's knowledge and ensure it is readily
accessible in one central "team brain". Knowledge transfer and learning
among new and existing employees is a key element in the Crowdbase
platform."
To request access to Crowdbase's limited beta release, please visit http://www.crowdbase.com.
About Crowdbase
Crowdbase (http://www.crowdbase.com) was founded in 2011 by a team of search, machine learning, and user
experience engineers. Its product focuses on social knowledge sharing,
collective curation, and discovery. The Crowdbase technology analyzes
the knowledge shared within a group and personalizes the learning
experience for each of its members based on his or her interests.
About iNovia Capital
iNovia partners with exceptional entrepreneurs to build successful
companies in high-growth sectors. The team is comprised of
entrepreneurs and sector experts focused on Mobile, Internet and
Digital Media. iNovia has $275M under management across three seed and
early-stage funds. For more information, visit http://www.inovia.vc or follow iNovia on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/iNovia.

entrepreneurs from idea to exit. We like to be the first money behind
great teams and companies in the Web, mobile, SaaS, e-commerce, gaming,
and digital media sectors. The team behind Real Ventures has over 67
years of combined experience in starting, funding, and growing

Solavei Launches Nationwide, Delivering The First Mobile Service That Pays Consumers

Solavei Launches Nationwide, Delivering The First Mobile Service That Pays Consumers
Solavei Offers a Simple, Unique and Affordable Alternative to Address Consumers' Top Concerns about Confusing and High Cost Phone Bills
BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Solavei(TM), a first-of-its kind social networking and commerce platform, today launched its unlimited 4G nationwide voice, text and data mobile phone service with more than 25,000 new members, unlocking consumers' earning potential through an affordable, contract-free service that pays people back for adding new customers. Solavei's business model is shifting the billions of dollars that the large wireless carriers spend in advertising to benefit the greatest advertising vehicle today - people.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120726/SF46750LOGO)
The debut of Solavei's flat $49 unlimited mobile phone plan addresses Americans' struggle for affordable wireless service, as recently highlighted in the findings of a new survey(1) conducted by market research firm Toluna. Results showed a majority of consumers (63 percent) had concerns about their mobile phone service, led by overall high cost and followed by hidden fees, plan changes, and charges for exceeding data limits.
Answering the demand for a simple and affordable mobile phone solution, Solavei created a comprehensive mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) to offer an unlimited service plan to its members at just $49 per month. Consumers have the flexibility to use any compatible unlocked GSM mobile phone, or purchase a new HTC One S, HTC Wildfire or ZTE Origin from Solavei. In addition, consumers can now earn income when they share the mobile phone service with their friends and family through Solavei's social commerce community, which is integrated into the leading social networks.
"Today's connected consumers depend on their mobile phones but struggle with the cost of current mobile service offers in the market," said Ryan Wuerch, founder and CEO of Solavei. "Solavei developed a comprehensive social commerce platform with the tools and resources to leverage the power of relationships using existing social networks to make mobile service more affordable - and even profitable - for our members. In three weeks of Beta testing, we've enrolled more than 25,000 new members and demonstrated the breadth and scalability of our systems."
Solavei empowers consumers to earn a recurring monthly income for an action most Americans already take - suggesting favorite products or services to friends and family. In fact, nearly all consumers (93 percent) have referred a product or service. Consumers have the opportunity to earn by sharing their mobile service experience with others through Solavei's integrated social networking platform.
"Solavei has a unique approach to how it is working with consumers, not treating them as a commodity, but as part of the team,'' said Roger Entner, founder and lead analyst of Recon Analytics. "As a pioneer in the social commerce market, Solavei has an appealing solution for consumers to earn recurring monthly income.''
How Solavei Works
Beginning today, consumers can go to Solavei.com to check coverage in their area, explore phone options and sign up for service. Through Solavei's social commerce platform and mobile application, members can share the Solavei Mobile Service experience with others and generate income. At its simplest, members can earn $20 per month for every three mobile-service members (called a "Trio") they or someone directly connected to them signs up for mobile service. When members enroll three Trios, the income generated is greater than their monthly plan cost of $49, essentially making their mobile service free and profitable. Members can continue to increase their recurring monthly income as they use their social networks to sign up more people for Solavei Mobile Service, turning their mobile phones into income.
Solavei Fits the Needs of Consumers
Wuerch founded Solavei in recognition of two significant shifts in consumer behavior: social networking and a desire to find new methods of earning income. With regard to consumer lifestyles, Solavei is meeting consumers where they are in this challenging economy. This is validated in the Solavei/Toluna survey results:
-- Necessity of Mobile Phones - Wireless phone access is so important to
Americans that just 4 percent of consumers surveyed said they would cut
their phone service when finances are tight, ranking it ahead of gas,
savings and cable TV.
-- Seeking Financial Stability - Most consumers would re-invest any money
saved/earned from mobile phone service back into their finances with
more than a third (37 percent) putting money towards other bills, 28
percent towards savings and 13 percent toward paying off debts.
-- Consumers Want to Recruit - Solavei's compensation plan seems to make
sense (and cents) to those surveyed, as a majority (80 percent) would
say "yes" or "maybe" to sharing a new wireless service with friends and
family members if they would get free mobile phone service or earn
additional income.
ABOUT SOLAVEI
Solavei is a social networking and commerce platform that enables users to connect, share and capitalize on the power of social networks. Solavei's mission is to make commerce less expensive by empowering individuals to earn income on the products and services they enjoy and use every day. Solavei's initial product offering is affordable, no contract, unlimited voice, text and data services throughout the United States launching with more than 25,000 members. It operates as a MVNO through a strategic partnership with T-Mobile USA. Solavei is led by former Fortune 100 telecom and retail executives and advisors. For more information, visit Solavei.com.

1. Toluna, Inc. fielded the study on behalf of Solavei from August 29-31,
2012 via its online omnibus service, interviewing a nationwide sample of
2,174 participants aged 18 years and older. Data were weighted using
propensity score weighting to be representative of the total U.S. adult
population on the basis of region, age within gender, education,
household income, race/ethnicity, and propensity to be online. Data for
questions related to online use or behaviors were weighted specifically
to the respective "online" populations. No estimates of theoretical
sampling error can be calculated; a full methodology is available.

MyWireless.org® Commends Arizona Congressman Trent Franks for Committing to Wireless Tax Relief for American Consumers and Businesses
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Yesterday the bipartisan, pro-consumer advocacy group, MyWireless.org, awarded Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) with the 2012 Wireless Consumer Hero Award for his commitment to wireless tax relief for American consumers and businesses.
Congressman Franks is one of the original sponsors of the bipartisan 'Wireless Tax Fairness Act' (H.R. 1002) and was instrumental in its passage in the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2011. Franks has frequently cited the need for Americans to have affordable access to wireless networks to stay connected to friends and family and run successful businesses.
"Access to wireless networks represents a key component of millions of Americans' livelihoods, providing the efficient communications capabilities - whether phone, broadband internet, or otherwise - necessary to run a successful business. Aside from being unfair and discriminatory, the exorbitant taxes that are currently being levied against wireless customers serve as yet another burden on Americans who are already struggling in the midst of a recession of record proportions," said Rep. Franks. "I'm honored to receive this award and look forward to seeing progress toward giving the millions of hard-working Americans who rely on the nation's wireless networks a more fair deal and an opportunity to run their businesses without the excessive taxes on the communications services upon which they rely."
Wireless devices have become an easy target for new taxes as cash-strapped state and local governments look for new sources of income. As a result, the average wireless consumer pays more than 16% in combined monthly federal, state and local wireless taxes and fees. That's more than double the average sales tax rate for other goods and services.
"This legislation is an excellent example of lawmakers from both parties coming together to address increasingly unfair efforts by state and local governments to balance their books on the backs of wireless consumers," said Steve Largent, President & CEO of CTIA - The Wireless Association. "On behalf of our consumer advocacy group, MyWireless.org, we especially want to thank Congressman Franks for his work defending wireless users across the nation from more unfair, new state and local wireless taxes and fees."
The Wireless Tax Fairness Act would prohibit state and local governments from adding any new taxes and fees on a specific communications service, such as wireless, for five years. This five-year freeze would give wireless consumers a much-needed break from even higher taxes and fees, and a window to develop a tax and fee structure that is fair and sensible. The U.S. Senate is currently considering its companion bill (S. 543).
MyWireless.org® is a nonpartisan, non-profit national advocacy organization made up of U.S. wireless consumers, businesses and community leaders and supports reasonable, pro-consumer and pro-taxpayer wireless policies. MyWireless.org is a project of CTIA-The Wireless Association®. For more information, visit http://www.mywireless.org.

World's Most Innovative Companies Run On NetSuite
Webinar to Highlight Breakthrough Companies SurveyMonkey and Solio Sharing Keys to Outmaneuvering Competitors
SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP software suites, today announced a webinar, titled "Why the World's Most Game-Changing Companies Turn to Cloud ERP," creating a forum for executives at today's high-growth, innovative companies to share the secrets of their success with next-generation business suite solutions like NetSuite. Featured speakers in the webinar include Irina Lyakhovich and Josh Karoly from online customer engagement specialists SurveyMonkey, and Andy Howe, CEO of solar power pioneer Solio. The free webinar will be held on Wednesday, September 26 at 11:00 a.m. PDT (2:00 p.m. EDT). To register, please visit http://www.netsuite.com/portal/email/webinar-gb-innovative-090512-email-nb_PR.html.
Fast-track, market-disrupting companies have learned that they cannot afford to be constrained by the high cost, long implementation times and inflexibility of conventional ERP systems. That's why visionaries in every imaginable industry have turned away from outmoded software and embraced the flexible, mobile and scalable NetSuite cloud to manage customer interactions, inventory, financials, multi-subsidiary and multi-currency operations, and more. From action sports camera maker GoPro to streaming media icon Roku to collaboration expert Box, leading business leaders of all stripes have voted with their feat to grow their businesses around the world with the backing of the robust NetSuite cloud ERP solution.
"Disruptive and visionary entrepreneurs need solutions that support their limitless potential, not antiquated business software that can choke growth under the load of integration fees, downtime and version lock," said Jim McGeever, NetSuite COO. "This webinar is the perfect opportunity for like-minded executives to understand how doing business in the cloud has helped their peers win market share, make more informed decisions, and stay focused on core business objectives."
Presenters from SurveyMonkey and Solio will be joined by Vishrut Parikh, NetSuite director of product marketing, for this free and informative session.
SurveyMonkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com), the world's largest online survey company, switched from a small-business system to NetSuite when it was acquired by private equity firms in 2009. The company's new business needs at that time included comprehensive revenue recognition, GAAP reporting, and multi-currency management to support international growth. The company had rejected the idea of using a "big iron" on-premise ERP system, as doing so would also require a dedicated systems management team.
"Having the ability to set up international subsidiaries and consolidate our financial operations through NetSuite's cloud-based solution was essential in supporting our company's growth," said Noreen Bergin, SurveyMonkey VP of Finance. "NetSuite has helped us manage statutory tax reporting without duplicating duties." Since adopting NetSuite, SurveyMonkey has expanded to do business in 15 languages and multiple currencies, all transparently rolled up into consolidated financial statements.
Solio (http://www.solio.com), a developer of solar energy products ranging from hand-held solar appliances for tablets and smartphones to lighting and home power systems for emerging markets, chose NetSuite because it supports the company's mission of staying focused on the design and development of sun-powered products without becoming distracted by cumbersome IT requirements. NetSuite seamlessly integrates Solio's direct sales and retail partners with its 3PL operation, promoting hassle-free fulfillment of any size order. The flexibility of the NetSuite solution helps Solio innovate its groundbreaking solar as service business model in East Africa while growing and maintaining high levels of innovation and service for end-use and reseller customers sold in the US and other developed markets. "Some of our competitors have to spend valuable resources on as many as 20 staff members to manage the processes NetSuite handles for us with complete automation," said Andy Howe, Solio CEO.

Motorola Mobility Introduces First "Custom Fit" Wireless Stereo Headphones Offering Five Points of Adjustability
S11-FLEX HD Delivers Flexible Fit and Rock-Solid Sound
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A fit made for you, a sound all its own. The new Motorola S11-FLEX HD wireless stereo headphones deliver HD audio and feature five adjustment points to create a super-customized fit. Made with you in mind, these headphones will stay snug while delivering pulse-pounding sound during your most rigorous workouts. S11-FLEX HD will be available beginning Oct. 28, 2012 at Best Buy and online at Motorola.com and Best Buy.com for $129.99.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120921/CG78613)
The first of its kind, S11-FLEX HD has a flexible outer band, adjustable inner band, and telescoping and rotating ear pieces which let you adjust your headphones so they feel lightweight, balanced and ready for even the most intense workouts. And thanks to protective seals and moisture-repelling mesh, sweat stays out and music stays on. Did we mention it's wireless? Whether you're working out or walking to work, you'll never worry about losing your sound with slipping ear buds or a yanked cord again. The S11-FLEX HD headphones can stream music up to 150 feet from your smartphone or music player so you can do a circuit at the gym, clean the house or work in the yard without having a music player hugging your hip.
"It's a custom-fit world with fashion, furniture and even food being created to fit the unique needs of every individual - we decided technology shouldn't be any different," said Dickon Isaacs, Design Director, Consumer Experience Design, Motorola Mobility. "That's why we built upon our popular S9 and S10 series to create an amazing headset that can be tailored and custom fit just for you."
The pulse-pounding audio from the S11-FLEX HD will blow you away. Advanced acoustic technology delivers crystal clear highs and body-thumping bass to keep you grooving whether you're at a packed gym, running through a noisy downtown or on a quiet trail run. Plus, with customizable equalizer settings, you get to decide how to listen to your music. Pump up the bass, choose virtual surround sound, or go for a more balanced setting. The multi-function button on the headset makes choosing your settings easy and the sound will beat even your favorite wired headphones.
"S11-FLEX HD delivers the kind of sound you'd only expect from a wired headset - high quality, crystal clear audio -- with the ability to adjust the fit and customize the sound for a personalized experience that no other product delivers and without the wires," said Cedric Welch, Senior Director, Companion Products, Motorola Mobility.
S11-FLEX HD works just as hard to keep you connected as it does to keep you jamming during a workout. Perfect for a hands-free commute, the dual high-performance mics deliver top-of-the line noise cancellation for crystal-clear sounding calls that other headsets simply can't offer.
Additional features:
-- Dedicated music and volume controls for easy adjustments
-- Multiple ear cushion models in various sizes to maximize fit and sound
-- A quick five-minute charge fuels a full-hour workout with music
-- A 15-minute charge delivers your favorite workout tracks for up to three
hours
-- Universal compatibility with devices from all major brands.

"We are connecting to these small and medium businesses to allow them solve this problem at a very low or no cost. The release of inDefend Lite - free version will offer a solution which will help these companies keep a tap on the endpoint devices for any kind of potential breach or theft of information through storage devices or internet. Those customers who want to have even more heightened level of security may go for the commercial version of our Endpoint Security & Device Control product or request additional support on the free version. Adding a portion of BPD's web database of 200,000 of the most commonly accessed websites has given a major powerful feature to the product, which will allow our customers take advantage of endpoint UTM without investing in costly gateway-based UTMs. At the same time, it removes the vulnerability of bypassing the traditional UTM through a data card or any other rogue internet connectivity," says Vikram Kumar, CEO, Data Resolve Technologies.

PlayLater, released in September last year, is PC software that serves as an online DVR. PlayLater customers can record streaming video from 30+ online websites including Hulu, Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon VOD, HBO Go, YouTube, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, Disney, PBS Kids, Nick, Nick Jr, and many more. They can then watch these recorded videos on the PC (without the need for an Internet connection) or transfer them to a mobile device and watch them on that device.

"After announcing PlayLater mobile for the iOS platform, we are excited to announce Android and broad platform support," reports Jeff Lawrence, MediaMall Technologies CEO. "PlayLater seems to have truly broad appeal...and is a must-have for the gadget guy, frequent flier, or busy mom during the holiday season. Nothing beats on-the-go entertainment when you are on a long flight or trying to calm a crying pre-schooler. And, PlayLater is the only way to record all the online shows and movies you want and take them with you on your mobile devices."
PlayLater is targeting customers looking for convenience: (1) users can avoid the frustrating experience of missing an episode or movie before the online listing expires (2) users can watch videos when they are offline or have an insufficient Internet connection to stream video (e.g. on a plane) (3) users can watch videos when outside of the US where some online services do not allow access, and (4) consumers can avoid purchasing videos on their mobile devices and instead record those same videos and move them to the mobile device.
A free trial of PlayLater is available at http://www.playlater.tv. After that trial is up, you will still be able to watch the videos you recorded during your trial for an unlimited period of time.
MediaMall Technologies, the creators of PlayOn and PlayLater, was founded in 2003 to make it simple, affordable, and fun to enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows, and videos from the Internet on your TV or on the go. The PlayOn and PlayLater software products allow customers to recreate the traditional cable and satellite TV viewing experience using only the Internet and their existing hardware for a fraction of the price - and even extend that viewing experience to mobile devices. MediaMall operates with offices in New York, Seattle, and Copenhagen and can be found online at http://www.PlayOn.tv and http://www.PlayLater.tv.

The companies will start production with Allegro's 4th generation 0.6um BCD (ABCD4) commercial product line later this year.
"The agreement between Allegro and UMC is a significant corporate initiative and one that has a direct impact on the strategic growth of our company. Allegro, as well as our customer base, will realize many benefits as a result of this alignment," said Ravi Vig, VP Business Development at Allegro MicroSystems, Inc.

Our manufacturing leadership and ability to tailor our capacity to meet customer requirements will enhance the competitiveness of leading IC providers such as Allegro. We look forward to serving Allegro's foundry needs and growing this partnership for years to come."
Allegro has finished porting its ABCD4 process to UMC and has entered pilot production. Full production is expected to begin at UMC within the coming months. This wafer process will support its commercial power IC customers. In addition, Allegro is also porting its 6th generation ABCD6 process, with pilot production expected to start in 2013. This process will support both sensor and power IC customers.

Meet the First iPhone 5 Owner in the World

Meet the First iPhone 5 Owner in the World
SYDNEY, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
For an image: http://www.mobilephonefinder.com.au/apple/iphone/iphone-5/aussie-todd-with-the-worlds-first-apple-iphone-5/
What:
Todd Foot, Publisher of MobilePhoneFinder.com.au is the first iPhone 5 owner in the world, having camped outside the Apple store in Sydney since Tuesday. As New Zealand does not have an Apple store, Sydney was the first in the world to sell the iPhone 5 today.
80.6%[1] of Australians are planning to purchase the new smart phone. 73.4% have not used a mobile phone comparison website.
Mr. Foot has the following top 3 tips for those planning on switching to an iPhone 5:
1. Outright or with a plan
If you have the cash it's cheaper to buy a phone outright and get a sim card from some of the wholesale providers. Make sure to compare sim only card providers as there is quite a bit of variance in their already hyper competitive offers. It's also important to remember that the iPhone 5 has a nano sim and so you will need to upgrade your sim card to one of these smaller chips.
2. Compare plans and prices
Use a comparison website like MobilePhoneFinder.com.au to compare plans and prices to save yourself money. Plans require either a 24 or 12 month commitment so it's best to compare before you buy and find the right plan to suit your needs.
3. Waitlists mean higher prices - a little patience will save you money
There are always benefits in waiting for your deal to go down in price after the first release. Generally mobile phone companies lower their handset costs over time and this will give you a better chance to get a cheaper deal.
Who:
Fred Schebesta Director of Finder.com.au and Todd Foot Publishing Manager of MobilePhoneFinder.com.au will be available for interviews.

Cloud Data Warehousing as a Service
Treasure Data makes big data available to everyone
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Treasure Data Cloud Data Warehouse service enables companies to get big data analytics running in days not months without specialist IT resources and for a tenth the cost of other alternatives. Traditional data warehousing solutions - even modern alternatives such as Hadoop - are too expensive, complex and take too long for many companies to implement, so the idea of quickly launching a data warehouse service that uses the power and economics of the Cloud for companies of any size, opens up a huge potential market.
"Even before our company launch, Treasure Data has live customers on our service, one of whom has scaled from zero to over 50 billion rows of data in less than 3 months and is updating Treasure Data with 10,000 messages per second," said founding CEO, Hiro Yoshikawa. "Our vision and mission is to use the Cloud service model to bring big data and data warehousing to companies of any size."
The founding team includes open source veterans, internationally known hackers and Stanford grads and is led by Hiro Yoshikawa. Hiro is a long-time open source advocate and at Red Hat was a catalyst in bringing together open source innovation and enterprise computing. His CTO and co-founder is Kaz Ohta, an acknowledged expert on distributed and parallel computing who founded the Hadoop User Group in Japan, the world's largest such group.
The Treasure Data Cloud Data Warehouse service already manages over 100 billion rows of data for paying customers that range from Fortune 500 companies, leading social gaming companies to data-driven social start-ups. The company is backed by angel funding from investors drawn from leading venture capital firms and entrepreneurs from open source and enterprise software companies.
Treasure Data Investor and Board Member, Bill Tai, commented "One hundred billion of anything is amazing. The Treasure Data service is handling some insanely big data for its blue chip customer base. To see the Treasure Data team scaling its infrastructure and executing on this scale has been amazing. Great things can happen when a team that can execute, hits a huge wave with perfect timing. We're in for a ride, and I'm excited to be their investor."
Treasure Data officially launches on September 27th, 2012. More information is available at http://www.treasure-data.com.

Georgetown University Report Bolsters Advanced College's Approach to Post-Secondary Education

Georgetown University Report Bolsters Advanced College's Approach to Post-Secondary Education
"Middle Jobs" and Career/Technical Education Seen as Clear Pathway to Middle Class Wages
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Georgetown University report has underlined the importance of the kind of outstanding courses offered by South Gate's Advanced College. The report advocates for more federal government investment and study of associate and career training programs. These programs are seen as a major steppingstone on the way to middle class economic status for students who may not be able to pursue a four-year degree through a traditional college or university. Advanced College has already helped countless students move forward with short and long-term training certificate and associate degree programs offered in both online and in-person course.
The Georgetown report from lead author Anthony P. Carnevale is focused on what it calls "middle jobs." These are jobs that require either career education or a traditional or online associates degree but do not require a four-year education. Roughly 21 percent of the 139 million jobs currently existing in the United States economy can be defined this way. The report also notes that, as has often been reported, the options open to those with only a high school education have dropped notably in recent decades.
By offering its widely praised course of post-secondary education, Advanced College has helped countless students living all over the world move forward in life with online associate degrees and certificate programs in a number of fields. The college offers both traditional and Internet-based instruction in such areas as accounting, business administration, healthcare management, and medical assistant training. It also features programs that offer an innovative blend of in-person and online instruction in fields requiring hands-on laboratory instruction, such as Surgical Technology and Massage Therapy.
The Georgetown University report also mentions the added value of a four-year degree in terms of economic advancement. The good news is that students interested in moving forward to a bachelor's degree after completing their associates program can pursue a four-year degree with Kaplan University. Via Advanced College's articulation program with the university, students may then receive a 10 percent discount on tuition from Kaplan.
It is obvious that an online accounting degree or other degree or certificate from Advanced College represents a major step forward for any student. Indeed, students who may have obligations raising families or holding full-time jobs are especially likely to benefit from web-based instruction. As one student told us, it was fine to work full time as a server at a local sit-down restaurant chain. However, with the online business administration degree she was earning, she now has her mind set on one day working in the chain's corporate offices.
For more information on the many outstanding associate degree and career programs available through Advanced College, please visit http://www.advancedcollege.edu or call 562-567-0457. It could well be the first important step on the path to a better future.

Is Your Dog Chasing Squirrels or Lounging Around?
New Activity Tracking from Tagg--The Pet Tracker Keeps Pet Parents Connected to their Pets' Exercise, Health and Wellness
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Snaptracs Inc., developer of Tagg - The Pet Tracker((TM)), the award-winning pet GPS tracking system that enables pet owners to know where their pets are and to be notified if they become lost, today announced a new activity tracking feature that will provide pet owners insight into their four-legged friend's daily activity. This new functionality, available in October at no additional cost to Tagg((TM)) users, will enhance the device's existing location tracking capabilities by providing owners with information to help them proactively manage their pets' health and exercise and be even more connected with their pets.
The new activity tracking feature provides pet parents with daily Tagg Points, an at-a-glance snapshot of their pets' activity in a 24-hour period. Movement is detected by the Tagg tracker and points are assigned based on the intensity and duration of the activity, ranging from resting to highly active. Tagg Points are accumulated and charted each day, providing pet parents with data that will help them make more informed decisions about their pets' exercise routines. Veterinarians recommend dogs get 30 to 60 minutes of active play daily, and pet parents can help ensure these activity recommendations are being met by reviewing Tagg Activity Points and setting a Tagg Activity Goal as a benchmark for desired daily activity levels.
"Much like people need exercise for good health, it is essential that pets are kept active and walked daily for their optimal wellness," said veterinarian Dr. Michael Ponte. "Tagg--The Pet Tracker is groundbreaking in that it can help owners maintain a healthier lifestyle for their pet and have a long term impact on its well-being."
Owners can access multiple interactive activity charts for each pet wearing a Tagg tracker, including a daily profile, which details a pet's activity level and Tagg Points for each 10-minute period, as well as historical charts that display data and Tagg Activity Goal totals on a weekly, monthly, and 90-day timeline. In combination, this data helps pet parents identify trends or changes in a pet's activity level over time.
"We created Tagg to help connect owners to their pets in new and meaningful ways," said Dave Vigil, president of Snaptracs Inc.. "We all want our pets to live forever, to stay protected, and be safe and healthy. Tagg's combination of activity monitoring and GPS location tracking puts pet parents in control of their pets' well-being."
In addition to activity tracking, Tagg also monitors a pet's location, alerting pet owners by text and email if the pet becomes lost or wanders away. Once a pet parent receives a notification that the pet isn't where it's supposed to be, a pet parent can immediately begin tracking the pet's location via the GPS and wireless technology embedded in the Tagg device. In conjunction with the launch of activity tracking, Tagg users will also experience enhanced features including the ability to customize notification settings for location and battery alerts, as well as have up to five recipient contacts for text message notifications.
Launched in September 2011, Tagg--The Pet Tracker has been honored with multiple awards for its innovation in the pet and technology industries and is sold at prominent nationwide retail stores including Apple, Target and Amazon, with additional retailers expected before the holiday season. The Tagg GPS pet tracker is also sold by select pet specialty stores and veterinarians across the country and is available in four colors for $99.95 on http://www.tagg.com. Free iPhone(®) and Android(®) applications are also available for pet parents who wish to locate their pet and monitor its activity via smartphone. In addition to tracking capabilities, the applications also find places nearby like vets, dog parks and pet stores in the local community.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 1:28:01 PM
In Advance of iPhone 5 Launch on Friday, Verizon Enhances Local 4G LTE Network Coverage
-- Company expands local 4G LTE network for residents, businesses and visitors
-- Part of ongoing nationwide deployment of high-speed data network
-- 4G LTE now available to more than 75% of U.S. population in more than 370 markets, covers more than 70% of Philadelphia Tri-State region
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Thenew iPhone 5 is available in stores on Friday and local Verizon Wireless customers will be able to use theirs in even more places. Verizon recently activated new 4G LTE coverage on sites in Pottsville, Stroudsburg, Sunbury and Williamsport, further expanding coverage on the high-speed wireless data network the company launched locally in December 2010.
The 4G LTE network lets Verizon Wireless customers use their 4G LTE-enabled devices to surf the Web, post status updates and photos, share music, and download files at speeds up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G networks.
In real-world, fully-loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to use their 4G LTE smartphones, tablets, notebooks, laptop modems and mobile hotspots to experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.
Verizon Wireless customers can also take advantage of HomeFusion((TM)) Broadband, a solution that leverages the power and speed of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network to deliver high-speed, in-home Internet access for residential broadband, particularly in areas where Internet options are limited or are not currently available.
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.8 billion in the Philadelphia Tri-State region network since 2000, including $200 million in 2011 alone, to increase coverage and capacity on behalf of customers.
Currently, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network covers more than 75 percent of the U.S. population in 371 markets across the United States. The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network covers more than 70 percent of the Philadelphia region, including Greater Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and large portions of southern New Jersey and Delaware.
When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, 4G LTE devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, where available, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast. Verizon Wireless' 3G network is the most reliable high-speed data network in the country and allows customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G LTE devices today to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds when the faster network becomes available in their area, or when they travel to areas already covered by 4G LTE.
Visit http://www.verizonwireless.com/lte for a full list of 4G LTE markets and additional information on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. For street-level detail of coverage and more, please visit http://www.verizonwireless.com/4GLTE.
About Verizon Wireless

The company serves 94.2 million retail customers, including 88.8 million retail postpaid customers.
