Mobile Integrated Systems Enters Into a Binding Term Sheet to Acquire Quantitative Alpha Trading
TORONTO, July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile Integrated Systems, Inc. ("MOBI") and Quantitative Alpha Trading, Inc. ("QAT," and together with MOBI, the "Parties," and each a "Party") announced the execution of a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") providing that the MOBI will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of QAT in exchange for 60,189,332 shares of MOBI's Common Stock (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is valued at approximately $24,000,000 based on today's closing price of MOBI common stock.
"Initially, we expanded into the finance vertical through a partnership with QAT. The partnership's successes during the launch of the MSNav software led directly to a desire to more deeply integrate the Parties." Said Murray Simser, President and CEO of MOBI. He added "The proposed acquisition delivers a business combination with complimentary cultures and skills sets, reduced operating expenditures and accelerated time to revenue for the QAT family of products. It also cements our position as leader in the electronic signals and robotic trading spaces."
"Mobile Integrated Systems has the demonstrated expertise in commercializing software. They have credible experienced leadership, a well funded business plan and the foresight to give QAT's software an edge." Said Jim McGovern, Chief Executive Officer of QAT. He added, "We are looking forward to completing this business combination as the resulting company will more rapidly and successfully bring our software to market. It is a natural win-win business combination."
The Parties intend to complete the Transaction by way of amalgamation pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties will continue to review alternative methods of completing the Transaction with a view to effecting the combination in the most effective manner having regard to legal, tax and regulatory considerations.
The Term Sheet contains customary terms and conditions for transactions of this nature, including that (i) no event or condition which has had, or is reasonable likely to have, a material adverse change on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the business or assets of either Party shall have occurred on or prior to the closing date; (ii) all regulatory and statutory requirements for closing of the Transaction shall have been fully satisfied, including without limitation, registration and qualification by MOBI of the Company's Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Regulators if applicable, (iii) approval of the Transaction by the shareholders of QAT; (iv) approval of the Transaction by the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario; (v) all necessary third party consents have been obtained by QAT; and (vi) to the extent required by MOBI, the relevant parties have agreed to amend the existing contractual employment arrangements.
MOBI has agreed to provide a first priority secured bridge loan to QAT to a maximum amount of CDN $800,000 in order to assist QAT in meeting the normal course obligations until the closing of the Transaction. The Term Sheet shall be supplemented by a definitive agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with additional customary terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants, documentation and further agreements as agreed by the Parties. The Parties have agreed to use their commercial best efforts to enter into the Acquisition Agreement on or before August 10, 2012 and to close the Transaction as soon as possible and not later than December 31, 2012.
To ensure market liquidity is supported by the business plan, subject to the definitive terms to be set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, MOBI Common Stock to be issued to certain shareholders of QAT pursuant to the Transaction (the "Restricted Shares") will be subject to restricted security rights/provisions, on such terms as are to be mutually agreed between MOBI and QAT and such Restricted Shares will be released over a series of dates between 12 months and 24 months following the date of closing.
In addition, MOBI has agreed to reserve an aggregate number of options to purchase 4,012,623 shares of MOBI's common stock in exchange for existing outstanding QAT options on a pro rata basis ("MOBI Options"). The average exercise price of the MOBI Options will reflect, in part, the exchange ratio of the transaction and will be detailed Acquisition Agreement. The Term Sheet also provides that MOBI, in its discretion, may enter into employment agreements with certain QAT employees.
QAT's assets represent a turnkey family of financial software focused on electronic trading signals, robotic trading and algorithmic execution platforms.
Two members of MOBI's Board of Directors, are also affiliated with QAT, and as such each has recused himself from any and all deliberations regarding the Transaction. As a consequence, MOBI and QAT established Special Committees each comprised of two independent directors to evaluate the transaction ("Special Committee"). The Board's of the Parties approved the transaction based on a positive recommendation by their respective Special Committees.
It is anticipated that the QAT Special Committee will engage the services of a financial advisor to render an opinion with respect to the fairness of the transaction for QAT security holders.

PA Consulting Group Joins Google Cloud Platform Partner Program
LONDON, July 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
PA Consulting Group has this week joined the Google Cloud Platform Partner Program
[http://googleenterprise.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/introducing-google-cloud-platform.html ]
as a Services Partner. PA uses cloud-based services to help organisations create
innovative, cost-effective and scalable IT solutions, from concept development to design
and delivery.
"The Google Cloud Platform Partner Program enables us to help our clients develop new
cloud-based solutions that drive their success across the range of sectors, public and
private, in which we provide support by building on power of the Google Cloud Platform,"
says Dan Rossner, cloud expert, PA Consulting Group. "The Google Cloud Platform offers a
broad set of application development, cloud storage, large scale computing and big data
capabilities that provides our clients with an enhanced technical ability to meet the
demands of fast-moving business."
"Using Google App Engine has allowed us to benefit from instant scalability and easier
website development," said Adrian Shand, Project Manager for the UK Met Office social
weather website (wow.metoffice.gov.uk). "Thanks to the scalability, we haven't had
anything to worry about as the site has grown in use."
Dan continues: "Using Google's technology we have already achieved results that would
have seemed unthinkable only a few years ago. With the permission of the NHS, for example,
we used Google's Big Query platform to upload and interrogate anonymous patient data
approaching a billion units. Previously it would have taken hours or days to run a query
on a resource of this scale - using Big Query we could do it in a few seconds. On a
separate project, we used the Google App Engine to create the social weather website for
the Met Office wow.metoffice.gov.uk. The scalable, elastic nature of this platform has
given enthusiasts in around 150 countries worldwide the chance to share, in real-time,
more than 40 million readings online."

Play Super Fast Sit 'n' Go Poker with Sky
LONDON, July 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Short on time? Well Sky Poker is offering some fantastic Sit 'n' Go poker to
players of all abilities!
Do you love poker but never have enough time for a game? Well why not try a super fast
game of Sit 'n' Go poker online [http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby ] with Sky!
A Sit 'n' Go tournament is quite similar to a regular tournament, but it starts as
soon as the required number of players has registered to play. A typical Sky Poker
[http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby ] tournament, on the other hand, will include as
many people who have registered by the starting time. This could be from as few as 10 to
over 1,000.
Normally a "one table tournament", a Sit 'n' Go would normally have either six or nine
players. This is good for players who don't want to wait; as a Sit 'n' Go does not a set
time to begin. It's literally a case of sitting in then going!
But for those who really struggle to find the time for a full game of poker, maybe you
should participate in a Timed Tournament on Sky Poker.
Played like a regular multi-table tournament, a Timed Tournament will end once the
allocated period of time is over. When the time is up, the prize money is awarded
according to the chip count. This major twist adds a fantastic layer of excitement and
tension to a normal tournament, as each hand may be pivotal to the overall number of chips
that you will end with.
Timed Tournaments at Sky Poker are available in a variety of lengths that offers
players the chance to play competitive poker, even if they have very little time!
Currently, the tournament times available are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes.
So head to the Sky Poker Tournaments lobby now to find out when the next Timed
Tournament is about to start!

The Gomez Law Firm Launches New Website Representing Victims Of Defective Stryker Hip Replacement Systems

The Gomez Law Firm Launches New Website Representing Victims Of Defective Stryker Hip Replacement Systems
SAN DIEGO, July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gomez Law Firm has launched a new website, http://www.strykerhiplawsuit.net/, as it is now representing victims of defective Stryker hip replacement systems. Individuals who have received the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular Hip System or the Stryker ABG II Modular-Neck Hip system have a timeline of two years to file a lawsuit for symptoms caused by this device they may suffer now or at some point in the future. Stryker has issued a voluntary recall of its Rejuvenate Modular Hip System and its ABG II Modular-Neck Hip Stem. The voluntary recall was initiated due to the potential risks associated with modular-neck stems, including the potential for fretting and/or corrosion at or about the modular-neck junction, which may result in adverse local tissue reactions manifesting with pain and/or swelling; corrosion and wear can damage surrounding tissue. Some patients may require a revision surgery to remove the defective device.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120727/LA47758)
The Rejuvenate Modular Hip System was approved by the FDA in June 2008 as an extension to Stryker's Modular Hip System product line. The ABG II Modular Hip Stem was approved by the FDA in November 2009. The ABG II system was approved because it was substantially similar to other Stryker Modular Hip Systems. Patients have complained to the FDA about pain in the hip, difficulty climbing stairs and difficulty with hip flexion.
Stryker does not keep a record of the individuals who have received the Rejuvenate Modular Hip System or the ABG II Modular-Neck Hip Stem. The Gomez Law Firm is assisting patients in determining whether or not they have these recalled components.
The Gomez Law Firm currently represents over 100 victims of defective DePuy hip replacement systems. Over the past ten years, The Gomez Law Firm has collected over $250 million in verdicts and settlements with over 50 awards of more than one million dollars each. The Gomez Law Firm has been recognized as a Tier 1 "Best Law Firm" by U.S. News and World Report in the areas of personal injury and product liability. John H. Gomez, Founder and Lead Trial Attorney of the Gomez Law Firm has established himself as one of the top trial attorneys in San Diego. He was featured on the cover of Super Lawyers San Diego 2012 and has been recognized as a "Best Lawyers in America" and "Super Lawyers". Since 2005, John was awarded 7 separate "Outstanding Trial Lawyers" awards from the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego and was named their 2006 and 2012 Trial Lawyer of the Year. The Gomez Law Firm tried the civil component of the "American Beauty" Murder case involving San Diego toxicologist Kristin Rossum. They represented a family devastated by an out-of-control Pizza Hut delivery driver. Currently they represent the surviving heirs of CHP Officer Mark Saylor, who along with his wife, daughter and brother-in-law, died when their Lexus loaner car accelerated out of control on a Santee highway. This incident gave rise to the largest recall in Toyota history.

The VIA Agency Launches Search For a National Celebratory Toast
With No U.S.-specific Version of 'Cheers,' 'Salud' or "Chin chin' Yet Identified, VIA Hopes To Find A Word to Embody the American Spirit
PORTLAND, Maine, July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The VIA Agency (theviaagency.com), a marketing, advertising and digital agency based in Portland, Maine, has launched a social media campaign with the goal of coining a new America-specific drinking toast.
Realizing that there is no country-specific toast option for U.S. revelers - in the manner of Proust, Salud, Cheers (British), Slainte, Le Chaim and others - VIA decided to do something about this problem just in time for the summer Olympics, where there will hopefully be numerous opportunities for both cheering and 'cheers'-ing. To accomplish this goal, VIA has selected 10 options to be the new 'Toast of America' and created a Facebook app to allow people to vote for their favorite, or make a suggestion for another one (https://www.facebook.com/ToastOfAmerica).
"Taking into account that the U.S. has no drinking toast to call our own and that the Olympics are happening this summer, we thought it was a perfect time to identify our own new toast to aid the celebrations," said VIA Agency CEO John Coleman. "The 10 options that VIA came up with all relate to our unique culture, but we are excited to see what original ideas the public comes up with too."
The 10 'Toast of America' voting options include:
1. To Glory
2. To Freedom
3. To Liberty
4. Onward
5. Oorah
6. Rock On
7. Sea to Sea
8. Yippee Ki-Yay
9. Let's Roll
10. To Us and All
To vote, visit the Facebook app: https://www.facebook.com/ToastOfAmerica. Anyone can vote for their favorite toast (or submit their own suggestion), up until the Olympics closing ceremonies on August 12 when the winner will be announced.
About The VIA Agency
The VIA Agency is an independent full-service marketing, advertising and digital agency that helps clients solve their most difficult marketing problems via creativity and innovation. Founded in 1993, the Portland, Maine-based agency offers a fresh perspective and distinguished record of creating the right ideas for clients and a legacy of reinvigorating brands.

Ukraine Makes Another Step Toward Transparency

Ukraine Makes Another Step Toward Transparency
KYIV, July 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Starting 2014, any public service in Ukraine will be available online, informs The
State Agency for Science, Innovation and Information. Currently, the government of Ukraine
is implementing the initiative Open Government Partnership (OGP), after joining it in
September 2011 along with 54 other participating countries. Online public services will
reduce time and resources spent by clients to obtain a service, as well as help prevent
corruption.
By October 2012 Ukraine will introduce electronic document management system in public
institutions, informs the State Agency. Previously, the use of hard copies of the
documents had been mandatory.
To increase public service transparency the Ukrainian government will also introduce
the National Center for Utility Payments Management, as well as a united web portal for
public services by the end of 2012. In 2013, it is planned to establish online procurement
system for the government agencies, according to the State Agency.
Ukraine committed to Open Government Partnership right at the time when the initiative
was launched by the eight founding states: Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Norway, Philippines,
South Africa, the UK, and the USA. Ukraine's efforts in the OGP framework to date include
a wide range of regulations.
OGP website lists adoption of a law on access to public information (January 2012) as
one of them. "Introducing international standards of openness, the said Law is a yet
another real step by the nation on its way to integrating with the international
community," reads the website.
Among other measures, in July 2011Ukraine introduced the law on prevention and
combating corruption. It received a positive review from the Group of States against
corruption (GRECO). Another anticorruption effort, highlighted by OGP, is the National
Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2011-2015, approved by the President of Ukraine Viktor
Yanukovych in October 2011.
The country also made progress in improving quality of administrative services. The
reduction of the number of documents necessary for obtaining public services is one of
such steps. Paid public services saw 44 percent cut, while commercial entities are no
longer allowed to provide public services.
Additionally, Ukraine stepped up e-government development by adoption of the
respective concept and launching the National E-Government Center in 2010. Furthermore,
national economic reform program Prosperous Society, Competitive Economy, Efficient
Government includes e-government principles.

CenturyLink to accept FCC Connect America Funds
Company committed to deploying broadband in Colorado
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) announced today that it will accept $35 million from the Federal Communications Commission's Connect America Fund (CAF) to deploy broadband service to 45,000 homes in unserved rural areas in multiple states. In Colorado, the company will receive more than $6 million in CAF Phase I funding to bring broadband service to more than 8,000 homes.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090602/DA26511LOGO)
CenturyLink was eligible for nearly $90 million in CAF Phase I funding. However, restrictions on the use of the CAF 1 funds made further deployment uneconomic.
"CenturyLink is excited to be able to work with the FCC to bring broadband services to thousands of homes for the first time. In addition to the incremental CAF funding, we are investing millions of dollars of our own money to bring robust broadband services to more customers because we believe these services will bring essential educational and economic opportunities to high-cost, rural areas of the country," said Steve Davis, CenturyLink executive vice president for public policy and government relations.
"We are disappointed that restrictions on the use of these funds will not allow us to deploy rural broadband services to the extent we had originally anticipated," Davis said. "However, we share the FCC's overall goal of deploying needed facilities in high-cost areas where reliable and affordable broadband service is not available. Therefore, we will continue working with the FCC to find ways to efficiently and effectively use additional CAF 1 funds to provide broadband services to our rural customers."
"CenturyLink is a broadband leader in Colorado and we've made significant investments here within the last several years. However, we still face deployment challenges in some of our unserved, high-cost areas," said Kenny Wyatt, CenturyLink's region president for the Mountain Region. "We are excited that if the FCC waiver is granted, we will be able to invest a total of $14 million over the next three years in Colorado. This investment reflects not only the federal support, but also a significant matching investment from CenturyLink for unserved markets in Colorado. We believe this funding will enable us to bring broadband to as many as 18,000 households in unserved, rural areas of Colorado. This investment will play a significant role in Colorado's broadband future. CenturyLink shares the FCC's goal of bringing broadband services to consumers, businesses and anchor institutions that will improve education, telemedicine and economic development in our local communities."
CenturyLink has filed a waiver application which, if granted, would allow it to deploy broadband services to approximately 60,000 more homes nationally in high-cost areas where reliable and affordable service is currently not available. This waiver has been supported by the Washington Public Service Commission, the Minnesota Department of Commerce and other state agencies.

KMC On Demand(SM) Launches Custom Online Learning Center for NACA
ATLANTA, July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- KMC On Demand, a leading provider of learning technologies and online education for the insurance claims industry, has developed and launched a customized online learning center to train members of the National Association of Catastrophe Adjusters (NACA).
"Ongoing education is a requirement for adjusters so they can perform to the best of their ability in the field," said Wanda Hogan, president of NACA. "This need has become more pronounced with the rapid deployment of technology and the many new adjusters entering the field. Our partnership with KMC On Demand allows us to serve NACA members with quality, accredited content at the best value."
The learning center provides access to more than 200 hours of training in adjusting topics that range from auto, property and casualty claims to workers compensation and fraud. It also offers access to the Property Technical Certification (PTC), which is a new, industry-specific certification program for property adjusters developed by KMC, a unit of Crawford & Company, in conjunction with an insurance industry advisory committee.
To promote continuing education to the NACA membership, KMC will offer its "Insurance Ethics" course for free to all members. This three-module course addresses ethical standards, examines insurance regulations and the applicability of state and federal insurance law to claims adjusting, and discusses the nature of the relationship between the insured and the insurer.
Courses in the center are approved by all states that require continuing education credits for adjusters, and KMC will apply for and track credits for those who use the learning center. Adjusters may purchase courses individually or access all courses for an annual fee.
In addition to the training courses, the site links to adjuster-relevant information such as social networks and blogs, state licensing requirements, career resources and job outlooks, and analytic reports on storms and earthquakes.
"The NACA learning center offers a one-stop shop that brings together relevant resources helpful to all CAT adjusters," said Douglas Dell, senior vice president of E-Learning Services for Crawford (NYSE: CRDA; CRDB), the world's largest independent provider of claims management solutions. "We will continue to work with the association to promote continuing education for adjusters that will enhance standards for the industry and professional service delivery to the insured."
About KMC On Demand
KMC On Demand is a unique platform that marries cutting-edge knowledge management technology with vetted and customized insurance courses and performance support information that adjusters can easily reference. KMC On Demand is part of Crawford Educational Services, a unit of Crawford & Company that is a full-service provider of classroom, online and blended educational opportunities for claims professionals.

Panasonic Launches New Integrated Communications Campaign Highlighting Brand's Comprehensive Strengths
New Campaign Spotlights Panasonic's Consumer, Business and Industrial Solutions Under "Engineering A Better World For You" Theme
SECAUCUS, N.J., July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Corporation of North America announced today the launch of a new communication campaign designed to bring attention to the brand's broad scope of products and solutions designed to meet consumer, business-to-business, and industrial needs. The campaign will also underscore Panasonic's global commitment to becoming the electronics industry's leader in green innovation by its 100(th) anniversary in 2018. In the recently announced Interbrand Best Global Green Brands survey of 50 top brands, Panasonic rose from number 10 to number six in the global ranking.
The multi-faceted campaign will showcase a series of print, on-line advertising and TV commercials featuring the theme, "Just Another Way We're Engineering a Better World for You." The combined marketing effort, which will commence July 27, represents Panasonic's highest advertising investment in a sports event in its history. At the center of the campaign are three TV commercials - 30- and 60-second spots -- including an anthemic commercial highlighting the brand's extensive range of products and solutions for consumers and business, as well as a commercial spotlighting Panasonic's comprehensive business solutions and a Smart VIERA HDTV commercial featuring US Women's National Soccer Team player Alex Morgan.
The anthemic commercial will spotlight both products the company is well known for, including VIERA flat-panel internet and 3D-enabled TV's, and Toughbook(®) computers, as well as its Lithium Ion batteries to power electric and hybrid vehicles, in-flight entertainment and communications systems and energy-saving solar panel arrays at stadiums and other sports centers. It also profiles an entire planned eco-smart community called Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town, which Panasonic is developing in Japan to demonstrate a model for sustainable living.
"Surprisingly, even today many people are not aware of the broad scope of the Panasonic products and solutions that touch literally every part of our daily lives," said Betty Noonan, Vice President of Marketing and Brand Management, Panasonic Corporation of North America. "Panasonic's founder, Konosuke Matsushita, was deeply committed to contributing to society and improving people's lives. This is where our long-time brand promise 'Ideas for Life' comes from. The new campaign is designed to complement and be true to that legacy by communicating Panasonic's intention to engineer ways for people to enjoy better and more sustainable lives around the world."
The VIERA HDTV commercial as well as a Panasonic Toughpad(®) commercial featuring US Women's National Soccer Team player Abby Wambach, made their debuts earlier this month during select national programming including the recent US Olympic Trials on NBC. The theme of "just another way we are engineering a better world for you" will also be used in Panasonic's consumer product and business solution branding communications moving forward. The shift in theme is part of the brand's increasing emphasis on comprehensive solutions and sustainability.
Panasonic is a sponsor of USA Soccer and the US Women's National Soccer Team.

Cellebrite Delivers First Physical Extraction Solution for Nokia BB5 Devices
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, July 26, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Latest Update to UFED Series Product Family Enhances Support for World
Leading Mobile Handset Platform
Cellebrite [http://www.cellebrite.com ], the leading provider of mobile forensic
solutions world-wide, has today announced that it is the first and only company in the
industry to enable physical extraction from locked and unlocked Nokia BB5 devices. Using
Cellebrite's proprietary boot loaders, the Nokia BB5 physical extraction method is carried
out via the UFED Ultimate and UFED Touch Ultimate. This capability is immediately
available to new and existing customers with an active ultimate license.
According to an IDC report published in February 2012, Nokia is the leading mobile
handset manufacturer in the world, with a market share of 27% and global sale shipments of
more than 417 million in 2011.* As a result, investigators regularly encounter a vast
quantity of Nokia devices, and must rapidly recover the existing, hidden and deleted
evidentiary data inside. This data is invaluable for real-time responders and
investigators seeking to gather the actionable evidence required to apprehend and
successfully prosecute suspects.
Cellebrite's range of mobile forensic products, UFED Series, allows investigators to
gain rapid and comprehensive access to mobile data by providing the most technologically
advanced tools for mobile forensic investigations.
"Cellebrite has once again successfully met the challenge of extracting physical data
from mobile handsets belonging to one of the industry's biggest names." said Ron Serber,
Co-CEO at Cellebrite Headquarters. "This industry breakthrough confirms Cellebrite's
technological advantages in the industry and its position as market leaders."
