School Search Solutions pilots "LEAP", an innovative resource for New York City independent school selection

LEAP is the "Match.com" for choosing private schools

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- School Search Solutions the consumer division of The School Choice Group (SCG), a leading educational consultancy, has patented a unique on-line survey tool with the acronym 'LEAP' (Learning, Ethos, Achievement and Principles), which enables families to understand a school's "personality" when evaluating schools.

The process of independent school selection and admissions, especially in major markets like New York City, is often a lengthy and confusing one for families who are surrounded by conflicting information.  LEAP encourages parents to find the right match between their child and school, based on both objective and subjective criteria.

The free tool utilizes a growing database of 70 plus independent schools that have responded to complex questions regarding the school's culture; feedback from parents will be compared to the schools' input across many subjective areas encompassing diverse topics such as learning and teaching styles, discipline, bullying, spirituality, use of social media and cell phones, among many others.  Users receive a list of schools whose responses most closely match their own preferences. 

"No one has ever tried to look behind the facade of independent schools in this way," says SCG CEO Timothy Dwyer.  "We are delighted by the response of the New York independent school community to our efforts to elevate the school search process. I sense an eagerness to get past the one-dimensional labels that other search approaches have given them." 

The LEAP analysis was designed by an expert in psychometric questionnaires and a software developer, with a patented algorithm that 'matches' the child and family to schools.  Once the analysis is completed, parents receive a report that identifies a list of schools aligned with a family's values. LEAP will enable families to make better informed decisions based on critical, yet often elusive, information. 

Liz Perelstein, the Chair and Founder of the SCG as well as former educator and school administrator, has built her company motivated by the conviction that "educational success is more than getting into a name school. As the parent of two children, who attended a New York City independent school, I am reminded everyday of how their passions were shaped and adult lives positively influenced by attending a school that was the right fit for them." 

LEAP is currently available in beta phase for families seeking private schools in Manhattan, with new locations to be continuously rolled out during the year. The SCG is in no way compensated by schools for their participation.  For more information on LEAP or to take the free analysis see http://www.schoolsearchsolutions.com.

Sigma Labs, Inc. Announces The Launching Of Its PrintRite3D(TM) System For 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing (AM)

SANTA FE, N.M., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigma Labs, Inc. (OTCBB: SGLB) announced today that it will release, later this month, the first module of PrintRite3D(TM) - a cutting-edge software and hardware suite of products that enables production of higher quality 3D-printing of metal parts for critical applications in the aerospace, defense, oil and gas, and biomedical markets.  We also expect that our PrintRite3D(TM) will reduce manufacturing expenses and virtually eliminate costly post-manufacturing inspections.  The overall 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) industry is currently dominated by the making of plastic parts (e.g., 3D Systems Corporation), however the growth of precision-made metal parts is expanding rapidly at a pace of double digit percentages (Wohlers Report 2012).

Mark Cola, the President of Sigma Labs, stated, "it is much more difficult to 3D-print metal parts than plastic parts because they must meet very demanding engineering specifications.  PrintRite3D(TM) is a suite of quality assurance tools that we expect will enable AM manufacturers to meet the rigorous requirements of metal parts for critical applications, and allow end users to use AM metal parts with confidence.  The PrintRite3D(TM) suite of software and sensors are designed to guarantee that part quality can be monitored in real time and to report any anomalies during production further enabling lights-out production or minimal worker presence on-site."

Mr. Cola added, "we are in partnering discussions with a major 3D manufacturer of metal parts and are confident that by the end of 2012 we will enter into an arrangement simultaneously with the roll out of our PrintRite3D(TM) suite of products."

About Sigma Labs, Inc.

Sigma Labs, Inc. comprises three wholly-owned subsidiaries, including B6 Sigma, Inc., Sumner & Lawrence Limited (dba Sumner Associates) and La Mancha Company.

SAP Raises the Bar in Performance Management Market With New Cloud Solution

SAP® Enterprise Performance Management OnDemand Solution Uses Cloud, In Memory and Mobile to Help Business Users Get Up and Running Fast to Achieve Better Results

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the general availability of the SAP® Enterprise Performance Management OnDemand (SAP EPM OnDemand) solution. With mobile-ready applications powered by the SAP HANA® application cloud, the solution enables business users to gain real-time insight into what is happening and adapt on-the-fly. The announcement was made at the ASUG SAP BusinessObjects User Conference, being held Sept. 10-13 in Orlando, Fla., during the keynote by Sanjay Poonen, president of Global Solutions and head of Mobility Division, SAP.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)

The first options for SAP EPM OnDemand deliver:

    --  Expense insight: Department managers can understand the details of
        anything charged to their cost centers, and can dispute and resolve
        miscoded, incorrect or duplicate expenses.
    --  Real-time profit and loss (P&L) analysis: P&L reporting can be delivered
        at any level of detail by allocating costs based on consumption of
        resources.
    --  Capital project planning: Both non-financial decision-makers and
        financial experts can establish the complete picture of the financial
        consequences of capital investment projects, and optimize the use of
        capital.
Future targeted options are planned to be delivered on a frequent basis.

SAP EPM OnDemand is designed to complement existing SAP solutions for enterprise performance management (EPM) such as the SAP® Business Planning and Consolidation application. The user interface (UI) offers a revolutionary experience that is designed to reach a new set of users in the organization. Right out of the box, anyone can begin using the UI on mobile devices such as the iPad. In addition, the EPM add-in for Microsoft Office can be used with SAP EPM OnDemand as well as the 10.0 version of SAP solutions for EPM. This combination extends analysis capabilities and creates a seamless experience for all users across cloud-based and existing on-premise applications.

"I talk regularly with people in both IT and finance, and while they have big initiatives in place they are also often focused on solving more discrete business problems. On-demand applications can be a great way to do this quickly and cost-effectively," said Joshua Greenbaum, principal, Enterprise Applications Consulting. "The new SAP EPM OnDemand solution is an example of how to meet these requirements. In addition, having the same user experience whether on mobile devices or in the on-premise version goes a long way toward guaranteeing high usage rates and lowering training deployment costs."

With SAP EPM OnDemand organizations can lower costs by reducing the time it takes to deploy and maintain new applications that integrate with existing systems. They can also address key business challenges such as enabling non-technical employees to manage processes, empowering employees to make more-informed, faster decisions and providing more detailed visibility into operations and performance. Combining existing systems with cloud-based applications enables organizations to further reduce upfront costs by taking advantage of pay-as-you-go software delivered as a service.

"SAP EPM OnDemand is the latest example of our leadership and how we are rapidly delivering innovation in the EPM space," said John Schweitzer, senior vice president and general manager, Analytics, SAP. "SAP is uniquely positioned in the market to build user-friendly on-demand solutions from the ground up. Built on the SAP HANA application cloud, SAP EPM OnDemand offers our customers another deployment option for extreme performance applications powered by SAP HANA. It's also complementary to -- and extends the value of -- the 10.0 version of SAP solutions for EPM with focused applications that are designed to be up and running quickly and help a broad set of users overcome particular business challenges."

SAP is recognized as a leader in the EPM market by industry analyst organizations such as Gartner Inc., IDC and Ventana Research.

MicroPact Announces entellitrak 3.9.0

BPM and document management capabilities streamlined under one module

HERNDON, Va., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroPact, a leader in the development of unified case and business process management (BPM) software, today announced the availability of entellitrak 3.9.0. This updated version of entellitrak features the full integration of entellidoc, MicroPact's advanced collaborative document management software. Originally available as a separately administered module, entellidoc gives users the ability to manage documents (unstructured data) alongside entellitrak's data records (structured data) in a single environment. This most recent release completes the integration by unifying the administration and security function of the two products.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120130/LA43872LOGO)

The advantage of entellitrak 3.9.0 is that it eliminates the need to work with more than one system or platform.

Full Story:

Iomega Corporation(®), a global leader in data protection, today announced the new Iomega(®) StorCenter(TM) Network Video Recorder, a customized lineup of all-in-one video surveillance network storage and management solutions designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses and distributed enterprise.

The new Iomega StorCenter NVR products, expected to be available next month, are built especially for the video surveillance industry and its customers.  Features like direct connection to a VGA monitor for local live display of surveillance video, and a streamlined setup process improve Iomega's theft deterrent capability.  Additionally, the new Iomega StorCenter NVR products make for simple implementation for the channel surveillance installer.

The Iomega StorCenter NVR family, on display this week at the ASIS 2012 International Tradeshow in Philadelphia, includes a fully-populated two-drive model as well as partial and fully-populated four-drive models for up to 12TBs of network storage.  Each Iomega StorCenter NVR includes either four or eight camera licenses (depending on the model).

A complete integrated video management system (IVMS) solution that combines innovative network storage with video management software MindTree SecureMind Surveillance Manager, the new Iomega StorCenter NVR is an ideal option for businesses and distributed enterprise locations that prefer to manage their own reliable video surveillance system onsite at an economical price.

"The new Iomega StorCenter Network Video Recorder is the ideal integrated video management system for today's small and mid-sized businesses, retail chains and remote enterprise offices, providing an easy to deploy, high performance and reliable video surveillance solution," said Mike Nikzad, Chief Operating Officer, Iomega Corporation.  "Combining versatile network storage with a leading video management application, Iomega's new StorCenter NVRs provide a compelling alternative solution to traditional NVR products.  With server class hard drives and the option for offsite cloud storage, just to name a few important features, the Iomega StorCenter NVR can grow with the video surveillance needs of our customers."

"Engineering a security surveillance solution that is dependable and has the right mix of features and capabilities for expert small- to mid-sized camera installations is no small undertaking," said Tom Burns, director and general manager, Physical Security, Ingram Micro North America, one of Iomega's top distribution partners.  "The straight-forward setup process within Iomega's new StorCenter NVRs not only simplifies the job of the surveillance installer, which is always important, but it also gives the technician or end-user more control and confidence by providing the ability to adjust and monitor the system offsite with a smart device.  Remotely managed security solutions are a growing field of interest and opportunity for our channel partners and a category where Ingram Micro is expanding its portfolio and support services."

Key Features of the New Iomega StorCenter Network Video Recorder (NVR)

The new Iomega StorCenter NVR has all of the features of Iomega's award-winning desktop network storage devices, including the EMC® LifeLine(TM) operating system as well as local and cloud network storage capabilities that enhance the customized video surveillance functionality.

Next wave of solar modules will be "game changer" for solar industry.

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Two decades of cutting-edge research and development have propelled LG Electronics to a leadership position in the highly competitive U.S. renewable energy market. Three years after announcing its entry to the U.S. market, the company today revealed top marks from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for the efficiency rating of its pioneering thin-film photovoltaic cell technology.

The testing by NREL, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research laboratory for assessing the performance of photovoltaic (PV) devices, resulted in the highest independently measured efficiency rating for amorphous silicon based cells of any design. The high-efficiency, large-area (1.1 m x 1.3 m) thin-film cell module design is a result of LG Solar's dedicated research and development team.

"Thin-film photovoltaic technology will be a game changer for the solar industry, and today's results show that LG is poised to lead that change," said James Lee, Senior Vice President, Energy Solutions, LG Electronics USA. "We see these results as proof of the professionalism and ingenuity of LG's team of hundreds of engineers that are solely dedicated to research and development in solar technology."

"In collaboration with the photovoltaic R&D team at LG Solar, we conducted laboratory tests on the thin-film cell design using our Spectrolab X-25 Solar Simulator. This test bed is used to measure the 1-sun I-V characteristics of all cells we evaluate. The module was measured under natural sunlight and corrected to standard test conditions," said Keith Emery, Principal Engineer at NREL, which also serves as an independent facility for verifying device performance for the entire PV community. "We are lucky to have at our disposal experienced researchers and state-of-the-art capabilities to solve problems in all phases of material and device development within the industry."

Jason You, Director of the U.S. Solar Business, LG Electronics USA, underscored LG's commitment to technological leadership. "Innovation is at the heart of everything we do here at LG. This is reflected in today's results about future product concepts and also in the new module we're launching this week, which is a 16.8kg cell design with industry leading 18.3 percent module efficiency."

The public release of the NREL test results comes as LG prepares for Solar Power International (SPI; booth 3201), the largest business-to-business solar conference in North America, where LG Solar's U.S. division last year introduced the MonoX(TM) module. This year, LG will showcase the third-generation of the MonoX(TM) series, the MonoX(TM) NeoN, among the lightest in the industry.

LG's thin-film module was stabilized prior to measurement at 1000 hours, 50 C, 1 sun. The technology is expected to reach mass production in late 2013.

WD® Creates World's Thinnest 2.5-inch Hybrid Hard Drive

New 5 mm Standard Slashes Storage Footprint by Almost 50% Compared to Traditional 2.5-inch Hard Drives

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WD(®), a subsidiary of Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) today announced it is sampling a 5mm-thin hard disk drive featuring hybrid technology. WD has developed hard drives slim enough for integration into today's thinnest notebook PCs, which provide high-capacity storage and robustness while featuring instant-on and application performance similar to today's client solid state drives (SSDs). The new technologies will be showcased during WD's Investor Day, Sept. 13, 2012.

"Mobile devices are becoming smaller, thinner, lighter and more responsive," said Matt Rutledge, vice president of client storage solutions at WD. "Working with our technology partners, WD has developed new 5 mm hard drives that enable high capacity storage along with excellent performance and superior economics to allow our customers to expand their thin offerings."

With device volumetric efficiency a key concern for system makers, WD began shipping 7 mm height hard drives for thin-profile notebooks earlier this year (historically, standard notebook hard drives have been 9.5 mm). WD 5 mm hybrid hard drives will enable the market's thinnest computers to offer 500 GB of capacity, utilizing almost 50% less volume compared to current 9.5 mm hard drives and at one tenth the cost of similar capacity SSDs.

"Acer is partnering with WD to bring advanced notebook performance and capacity in the smallest form factor," said David Lee, associate vice president of Mobile Computing Product business unit at Acer. "It's a part of our ongoing commitment to present leading technology that ultimately improves the total user experience of our customers."

"We are seeing a shift in the computing world to more powerful mobile computing solutions," said SY Shain, senior vice president of ASUS' notebook business unit. "With this in mind, ASUS and WD are collaborating to create slimmer and more mobile notebook solutions -- without sacrificing capacity or performance -- to deliver smaller form-factor to consumers."

Hybrid Technology and Client Tiered Storage

WD's innovative hybrid technology pairs MLC NAND flash storage for fast SSD-like data throughput and instant-on responsiveness with magnetic disks for efficient, high-capacity storage. Similar to the practice of multi-million dollar enterprise systems, WD's hybrid technology utilizes the concept of tiered storage. Data accessed most frequently (often referred to as 'hot' data) is managed using speedy NAND flash to ensure fast response times, while data accessed less often ('cold' data) resides on the robust magnetic disks. The tiered design of hybrid hard drives, compared to current dual-drive solutions, also provides a redundancy benefit for users. The magnetic disk backs up all files residing in the NAND, protecting the user from inevitable NAND wear and preserving it for the more hot data handling. WD's hybrid technology works in conjunction with the PC operating system to deliver higher performance than current hybrid offerings while minimizing NAND wear to allow the use of less expensive MLC NAND.   

Hybrid hard drives combine NAND flash and magnetic disks, simplifying storage-element integration for OEM customers and providing a host of end user benefits: superior performance, responsiveness, lower power consumption, greater operating shock tolerance, and data protection. And unlike dual-drive designs, WD's hybrid technology provides single-unit design homogeneity that OEM system manufacturers have long sought from the storage industry.

About WD

WD, a Western Digital company, is a long-time innovator and storage industry leader. As a storage technology pacesetter, the company produces reliable, high-performance hard disk drives and solid state drives.

Chegg Presents Zinch Prep - Free College Counseling and Admissions Help for High School Students

Free test preparation, critical deadline reminders and tips from admissions and college counselors

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Chegg, the student hub, today announced Zinch Prep, a college counseling program for the 1.5 million high school seniors going through the college admissions process.   Through Chegg Presents Zinch Prep, students will be given free step-by-step instructions, reminders, access to online test preparation and original content from experts to guide them along the college admissions process, lasting from September through January.

With the counselor to student ratio in U.S. high schools averaging almost 500 to 1, most students don't get enough support in the college admissions process.  College access and completion remain a problem in the U.S.   There are great counselors out there but many don't have the time or resources to provide high levels of support.  The average high school student spends 20 minutes per year talking with their counselor, which includes disciplinary issues and class scheduling - the subject of college may not even be discussed.  With the huge strain on today's counselors, Chegg created Zinch Prep to help all high school students apply for college.

"High income families will pay thousands of dollars for individual college admissions counselors, creating an advantage, while many students from families of more modest means may not be aware of the opportunities they have," said Bob Patterson Director of College Outreach at Zinch.  "Zinch wants to help those students by offering Chegg Presents Zinch Prep and providing college admissions support to the 99 percent."

Chegg has gathered a panel of experts including:

    --  Bob Patterson, Director of College Outreach at Zinch and former Director
        of Admission at Stanford University
    --  Gil Rogers, Director of Marketing and Outreach at Zinch and Former
        Associate Director of Admissions Recruitment and Enrollment Technology
        at the University of New Haven
    --  Steve Cohen author of Getting In! and Forbes contributor
    --  Advisors from the National College Advising Corps, whose primary goal is
        raising the rates of college enrollment and completion among low-income,
        first-generation-college students and underrepresented high school
        students
Chegg Presents Zinch Prep launches today with the first installation of the web series - "Episode 1:  Building Your College List", Bob Patterson's list of "10 College Admissions Tips You Might Not Learn in High School" and additional articles on this key stage of the application process.  The program continues through January and will touch on admissions topics such as writing your personal statement, how to ask for a recommendation and common application mistakes to avoid.  Chegg Presents Zinch Prep can be found at http://www.zinch.com/zinchprep.

Nasuni Introduces Mobile Access to Enterprise Storage

With Nasuni, End-Users Experience the Simplicity and Convenience They Enjoy from Consumer Services, While IT Gets the Security, Integration and Control it Needs for Enterprise Storage

NATICK, Mass., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nasuni(®), a provider of enterprise storage to large, distributed organizations, today announced the addition of mobile access from Apple and Android devices. End-users can now access their corporate files with the simplicity and convenience that they've come to expect through their use of consumer-oriented cloud storage services, while providing enterprise IT with the security, integration and control required to safeguard mission-critical information and systems.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE80973LOGO )

"Enterprise IT no longer needs to fear that their end users will circumvent existing security policies in order to access their files from mobile devices," said Andres Rodriguez, CEO of Nasuni. "The challenge for IT is to deliver convenient access to data without jeopardizing security. Mobile access needs to be an extension to the existing storage and security infrastructure. It should be a feature of the infrastructure rather than another application IT has to manage. We are extending the capabilities of our storage controllers to handle mobile devices. Our goal with this release is to delight the end-users while not asking IT to change their security perimeter."

With Nasuni's mobile access capability, end-users can:

    --  Access the corporate fileshare from anywhere via a free app from Nasuni
        on their iPhone, iPad and Android devices;
    --  Upload images, videos and documents without having to wait until they
        get back to the office;
    --  Deliver presentations and review documents, knowing they are working off
        of the most up-to-date version, even when they are on the road; and
    --  Share documents across any mobile device or computer with colleagues.
At the same time, enterprise IT maintains the centralized control and security that customers have come to expect from Nasuni, including the ability to:

    --  Authenticate users through Active Directory, while leveraging existing
        users and groups;
    --  Enable and disable access at an individual device level;
    --  Eliminate sensitive data remotely from compromised devices;
    --  Guarantee data security with encrypted transmission and file storage,
        and;
    --  Keep control and management of data inside the corporate firewall and
        not in the cloud.
"One of the major drawbacks of many cloud-based file sharing solutions is that, while they offer mobile access to data, they do not integrate with the existing storage infrastructure and do not give enterprise IT the level of control and security they desire," said Terri McClure, Senior Analyst at ESG. "Nasuni's addition of mobile access to its storage solution gives enterprise IT the mobile experience end-users want without sacrificing security or control. It's a great example not only of the potential of a hybrid approach to cloud computing, but also an example of how enterprises can address the increasing trend toward the consumerization of IT head-on."

Nasuni provides a branch and remote office storage solution that delivers consolidated storage to the distributed enterprise. Consolidated storage brings all primary storage (i.e. file and block) together with built-in backup, replication, and offsite protection using an on-site appliance connected to the cloud. With Nasuni, IT can deliver centrally-managed global file access with the performance that end-users demand and a single master cloud storage system that enables consistency and control.

It is secure because all data is encrypted on-site using the customers' own keys before forwarding to the cloud. And it scales to meet the needs of as many remote offices as required, anywhere on the globe, eliminating the need for slow VPNs and expensive, cumbersome replication or WAN optimization schemes.

The addition of mobile access is a natural step for Nasuni. The company first enabled primary access for the Windows world with CIFS in 2009, and added extended file support with NFS the following year. This summer, Nasuni announced iSCSI support, which gave remote offices a complete storage solution that encompasses both files and blocks. With the introduction of HTTPS, employees may access the corporate fileserver via their mobile devices or using a standard web browser as well. With so many users reaching a level of comfort with web-based solutions, corporate IT can now deliver their fileshare through a browser-based interface.

"Our end-users are increasingly asking for mobile and web-based access to their data, but we've been reluctant to give up control over our data to a cloud storage service that doesn't integrate with our own systems or give us the level of security we need," said Mike Driscoll, Infrastructure Architect at The Walsh Group. "We've been successfully using Nasuni to provide our remote offices with uniform, shared storage, and expect the same quality product for Mobile Access. The way Nasuni is going to deploy support for mobile devices will give our end users the 'Dropbox' experience they want while providing the level of security and integration that the company demands."

Nasuni's mobile access capabilities will be available on Monday, Sept. 17 to all current and future Nasuni customers at no additional charge.

About Nasuni
Nasuni is an enterprise storage company that provides globally-distributed organizations with a simple, unified storage solution that includes mobile access for all of their remote and branch offices. By combining on-premise hardware with cloud storage, Nasuni delivers a secure, all-in-one data storage solution that provides local performance for users, simplified and centralized management for IT, and an easily scalable, complete remote office storage solution for the enterprise.
