The PCMag.com review stated, "Net Nanny 2.0 for Android is a powerful 'safe' browser that filters offensive content from your child's device, and goes beyond what most of its Android app competitors offer.

Gamesys: Lucky Winner Newly Bejeweled at Jackpotjoy's Bingo!
LONDON, July 25, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
For easy, low stakes fun, there's nothing quite as beautiful - and potentially
bountiful - as bingo. Especially at the razzle dazzle that is Bejeweled Bingo. Just ask
one Mr. Andrew D, a JPJ regular who scooped a truly life-changing sum of GBP107,603 last
month.
It's a staggering win for a game that can be played with stakes as low as 10p.
Understandably, Andrew described himself as 'over the moon' with his win. He also had some
words of gratitude for Jackpotjoy, one of the best online sites [http://www.jackpotjoy.com
] for entertaining games:
"I cannot believe how lucky I am on this site, and I cannot thank you enough for my
wins!"
Andrew also told us of his long run of success with the site, even having planned a
trip to global casino and gaming mecca Las Vegas later this year - all financed with yet
another massive Jackpotjoy win. He scooped over GBP28K back in April.
The game at which Andrew won his huge prize is a fascinating combination of two
classic games. It's primarily a bingo game. Players can purchase anything from 6 to 36
tickets and then play a fairly standard game of 90 ball bingo.
Once the game ends things get interesting. The Bejeweled Challenge is a minute-long
version of the popular PC game in which players must create rows of gems within a grid by
switching adjacent ones. The aim is to beat both a personal and group score to win tickets
to the next bingo game.
And of course there's the usual 'progressive jackpot' up for grabs, on offer to
Bejeweled Bingo players who complete a full house in less than 38 calls. The size of the
jackpot varies depending on number of players and length of time since the last win. The
current progressive jackpot is displayed in the screen throughout the game. Head on over
to Jackpot Joy [http://www.jackpotjoybingo.com ] to try your best!
GAMESYS
The Gamesys Group was founded by Noel Hayden in April 2001 with a small team of
developers. The aim was to build a profitable online entertainment business providing
casino games, online bingo and slots. Due to Jackpotjoy's success in the UK the company
has established international growth with bingo websites in Spain called Botemania
[http://www.botemaniabingo.es ] and a venture from Jackpotjoy in Sweden.

It's a staggering win for a game that can be played with stakes as low as 10p.
Understandably, Andrew described himself as 'over the moon' with his win. He also had some
words of gratitude for Jackpotjoy, one of the best online sites [http://www.jackpotjoy.com
] for entertaining games:
"I cannot believe how lucky I am on this site, and I cannot thank you enough for my
wins!"
Andrew also told us of his long run of success with the site, even having planned a
trip to global casino and gaming mecca Las Vegas later this year - all financed with yet
another massive Jackpotjoy win. He scooped over GBP28K back in April.
The game at which Andrew won his huge prize is a fascinating combination of two
classic games. It's primarily a bingo game. Players can purchase anything from 6 to 36
tickets and then play a fairly standard game of 90 ball bingo.
Once the game ends things get interesting. The Bejeweled Challenge is a minute-long
version of the popular PC game in which players must create rows of gems within a grid by
switching adjacent ones. The aim is to beat both a personal and group score to win tickets
to the next bingo game.
And of course there's the usual 'progressive jackpot' up for grabs, on offer to
Bejeweled Bingo players who complete a full house in less than 38 calls. The size of the
jackpot varies depending on number of players and length of time since the last win. The
current progressive jackpot is displayed in the screen throughout the game. Head on over
to Jackpot Joy [http://www.jackpotjoybingo.com ] to try your best!
GAMESYS
The Gamesys Group was founded by Noel Hayden in April 2001 with a small team of
developers. The aim was to build a profitable online entertainment business providing
casino games, online bingo and slots. Due to Jackpotjoy's success in the UK the company
has established international growth with bingo websites in Spain called Botemania
[http://www.botemaniabingo.es ] and a venture from Jackpotjoy in Sweden.

Top Ranked 30-inch KitchenAid® Commercial-Style Dual Fuel Range Rivals Professional Performance Found on Larger Models
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooks who have the desire but not the space to bring the tools of restaurant chefs into their own kitchens now have the option of a 30-inch commercial-style dual fuel range from KitchenAid that recently earned the top rating from a leading consumer magazine. Like the brand's other top ranked 36-inch commercial-style dual fuel range, the 30-inch model offers precise, powerful gas burners, Even-Heat(TM) electric convection and the unique option of steam-assist technology.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120717/DE41498LOGO-b )
"Our 36-inch model has consistently earned high marks in the commercial-style range category and we're happy to offer cooks yet another top performer in a smaller configuration," notes Beth Robinson, senior manager of brand experience for KitchenAid. "Consumers looking for the same powerful performance often found on larger models will appreciate all that our 30-inch models have to offer."
Features on the KitchenAid® 30-inch commercial-style dual fuel range include the industry's most powerful burner among leading brands. The 20,000 BTU Ultra Power(TM) Dual-Flame Burner offers the versatility to go from intense searing to a low simmer. Additional burners include two 15,000 BTU professional burners and a 5,000 BTU simmer/melt burner. Electronic ignition enhances reliability for lighting burners while infinite-heat controls provide countless intermediate settings between low and high for added cooking precision.
To promote even cooking on all racks of the oven, an Even-Heat(TM) True Convection System uses a hidden heating element, a fan and a bow-tie shaped baffle to consistently circulate air heated by the element. An EasyConvect(TM) Time and Temperature Conversion System automatically converts conventional times and temperatures to their convection equivalents. Other features include convection bake, broil and roast, a bread proofing option and a Sabbath mode. A large glass-touch oven display features a responsive, easy-to-use interface designed for easy cleaning.
"For cooks who want to bring even more professional tricks of the trade into their own homes, we also offer this model with steam-assist technology," says Robinson. "Injecting steam into the cooking cycle helps retain moisture in everything from roast chicken, fresh fish and vegetables, and eliminates the need for manual misting or water baths when baking breads, cheesecakes and custard based dishes."
Since the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919 and first dishwasher in 1949, KitchenAid has built on the legacy of these icons to create a complete line of products designed for cooks. Today, the KitchenAid brand offers virtually every essential for the well-equipped kitchen with a collection that includes everything from countertop appliances to cookware, ranges to refrigerators, and whisks to wine cellars. Cook for the Cure®, the brand's partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, is now in its eleventh year and has raised over $8 million to help find a cure for breast cancer. To learn why chefs choose KitchenAid for their homes more than any other brand*, visit http://www.KitchenAid.com or join us at http://facebook.com/KitchenAid and http://twitter.com/KitchenAidUSA.
* Based on a 2012 survey, KitchenAid was found to be the home kitchen appliance brand chosen most often by members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals.

Twin Brothers Launch Huntcha, Facebook's "Sexiest App" With Provocative YouTube Campaign Featuring Renowned Hollywood Stars
Actresses from Two and a Half Men and the Vampire Diaries are among those starring in the social network's daring "Kissing Campaign" conceived and directed by Huntcha's twin Chilean founders.
LOS ANGELES, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- YouTube has been injected with a heavy dose of sensuality after the release of a new social network's provocative video campaign, coinciding with their worldwide launch. Huntcha, Facebook's "sexiest application," recruited major stars to lend their lips to one of the hottest campaigns of the year.
Directed by the startup's twin founders, Cristobal and Sebastian Zegers, the videos feature star, singer, and top model Kat Graham, member of the Teen Choice Award 2012 winning cast of "Vampire Diaries";April Bowlby, Alan's gorgeous girlfriend from "Two and a Half Men"; and Kika, a blonde-bombshell swimsuit model. This is only the beginning of what the world will see from Huntcha now that the male version of the campaign is coming soon -- so be prepared!
The social network that connects secret admirers aims to be recognized as the "sexiest Facebook app," setting it far apart from traditional dating sites. According to co-founder Sebastian, "Huntcha is a tool that helps win hearts. It's similar to wearing certain clothes or a special perfume in order to attract the person you like."
About Huntcha
The premise of Huntcha rests in its tagline - "discover if you're the secret love of your secret love." Users can add up to any nine people from Facebook to their secret list; if two users mutually add each other to their secret lists, a Match is made and Huntcha privately lets those people know.
Huntcha was born out of a creative session in the founding brothers' Santiago-based advertising agency, where brainstorming revolved into the follow-through of what is now Huntcha. The saucily sexy site was launched in Chile in October, 2011 and was received with fervor, garnering 20,000 users in the first month and propelling the Chilean version of the "kissing campaign" to nearly half a million YouTube views in less than a week.

New RSA Service Helps Customers Detect and Shut Down Rogue Mobile Apps
RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service Monitors for Rogue Mobile Apps which Target End User Devices and Data
LAS VEGAS, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BLACKHAT 2012 Conference --
News Summary:
-- Rapid growth of app stores for mobile devices has received significant
attention from consumers, businesses and fraudsters alike.
-- Mobile apps have emerged as a new cybercrime attack vector for phishing
and malware.
-- RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is a new managed service designed
to detect and take action against malicious/unauthorized mobile apps
that silently infiltrate online app stores.
-- The service monitors all major app stores for all mobile operating
systems, detects and shuts down malicious apps that are targeting
customers to help reduce end user credential loss, financial fraud as
well as damage to organizations' brand equity.
Full Story:
To counter the emergence of malicious and unauthorized apps appearing on mobile app stores, RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today introduced the RSA FraudAction(TM) Anti Rogue App Service designed to detect and take action against rogue mobile apps that attempt to serve up malware or phishing attacks.
RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is an anti-fraud solution designed to detect and shut down rogue mobile apps. By combining the industry's most experienced anti-fraud experts with a proven, propriety threat-detection infrastructure, RSA helps organizations obtain visibility into the mobile app landscape, giving their fraud teams the ability to understand this new threat vector. RSA's new service helps organizations discover fraudulent mobile apps that are leveraging customer brands to infect end users or steal credentials. RSA's proactive approach helps ensure online app stores are constantly monitored and action is taken against rogue mobile app threats.
According to multiple research reports, the risk to mobile device security is increasing:
-- 71 percent of organizations allow their employees to use their own
mobile devices for company business. (Source: GI mSecurity Survey
Report, April 2012, Goode Intelligence)
-- 86 percent of all Android malware is actually repackaged versions of
legitimate apps, but with malicious payloads. (Source: Android Malware
Genome Project, Department of Computer Science at the North Carolina
State University)
-- Number of malicious Android apps jumps to over 20,000 in July 2012.
(Source: TrendMicro TrendLabs Jul 2, 2012)
-- Proactively manages risk to business by providing visibility into mobile
app-based threats.
-- Reduces fraud loss by shutting down rogue apps to help minimize impact
of mobile app-based attacks to customer base.
-- Provides comprehensive app store monitoring for all major app stores.
Available immediately worldwide, RSA will launch the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service in its booth at the BlackHat 2012 Conference in Las Vegas.

RSA Executive Quote:
Dan Schiappa, RSA Senior Vice President, Identity & Data Protection
"We're finding that organizations offering legitimate mobile apps used for online banking, retail, gaming and other functions aren't prepared and are mostly unaware of the mobile app threats lurking in app stores. Driven by RSA's experienced team of anti-fraud analysts, the RSA FraudAction Anti Rogue App Service is designed to help these organizations reduce fraud losses by monitoring for, rooting out and shutting down rogue apps before they can successfully exploit unknowing mobile consumers in an attempt to distribute malware and steal sensitive personal information for financial gain."
Analyst Quote:
Chris Hazelton, Research Director, Mobile & Wireless, 451 Research
"Since app stores are a primary source for mobile software, the large volume of new and updated applications regularly added to these stores makes it easy for cybercriminals to hide illicit activities within legitimate apps. Despite the best efforts of app store operators to police their own catalogs for rogue apps, the potential damage posed by a Trojan app using a company's brand image cannot be understated. Active monitoring of app stores will help organizations stay ahead of potential mobile app threats that leverage legitimate brands to target consumers for malware distribution and phishing."

Rogers Communications and SAP to Mobilize Canada's Workforce

Rogers Communications and SAP to Mobilize Canada's Workforce
Mobile Leaders Join Forces to Simplify Enterprise Mobility for
Businesses Across Canada
TORONTO, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Rogers Communications and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced plans to develop and manage the deployment
of newly packaged enterprise mobile applications, which leverage the
SAP mobile platform. When completed, the new managed mobility offering
featuring the SAP mobile platform will be made available to customers
through a Rogers-branded managed mobility service. A first between SAP
and a Canadian wireless carrier, the offering is being designed to help
simplify the way organizations mobilize their workforce, by helping
employees gain real-time access to enterprise mobile applications on
tablets and smartphones that traditionally sit on desktop computers.
"Canadian organizations are rapidly adopting new wireless solutions to
serve a growing mobile workforce and to enable mobile business
processes," said Tony Olvet, group vice president of research at IDC
Canada. "IDC's research shows that 36 percent of Canadian organizations
have already mobilized one or more application and 21 percent are pilot
testing mobile apps this year. Deploying and managing mobile enterprise
applications and device solutions are increasingly strategic elements
of business strategy."
By the end of 2011 there were approximately 2.4 million tablet devices
in Canada according to IDC Canada. IDC additionally forecasts the worldwide mobile enterprise application
platform global market to grow to more than US $3.0 billion in 2015.
"Businesses are transforming their IT resources to stay competitive and
the four walls of the office are now transparent - anytime, anywhere
access to mobile enterprise applications and software on any device is
essential for efficiency and workforce productivity," said Larry
Baldachin, senior vice president, Business Segment, Rogers
Communications. "By pairing the strength of our wireless network from
continuous investments with SAP solutions, we will enable public and
private sector customers with a solution to truly mobilize."
Customers would benefit from a managed mobility service that lowers
entry cost, speeds time to implement and extends the value of mobile
enterprise applications by making them accessible from anywhere at any
time, decreasing the strain on resources to maintain on-premise
deployments. Within the agreement, Rogers plans to manage hosting
services and provide wireless connectivity to power SAP solutions,
including:
-- Enterprise mobile applications:Customers will have access to
business, industry and analytics enterprise mobility
applications from SAP.
-- Development:Business customers can access to the SAP mobile
platform for enterprise mobile application development on
proven, industry-leading technology. The mobile platform will
allow businesses the ability to quickly develop applications to
give users secure access to business data on a variety of
mobile devices.
-- Mobile device management:Enterprise customers can have the
ability to manage employee devices, mobile enterprise
applications and related information through the
industry-leading SAP® Afaria® mobile device management solution
to help ensure critical information is not compromised. A
single administrative console can allow customers to centrally
manage and secure mobile data and encrypt sensitive data for
protection in a case a mobile device is lost or stolen.
"Through our new managed mobility solution, SAP and Rogers will be
making it easier than ever for businesses of all sizes to harness the
power of mobile," said Mark Aboud, president and managing director, SAP
Canada. "Rogers has established strong leadership in the tablet,
smartphone and machine-to-machine markets, and SAP is the undisputed
leader in enterprise mobility for managing devices, enterprise mobile
applications, and secure content management. Through our mutual
relationships with customers, together we plan to enable enterprises to
grow their business and continue operational excellence with mobile
solutions that are secure, easy to use and scalable."

Thomson Reuters Spotlights Emerging Research Centers with the Addition of SciELO Database to Web of Knowledge
Partnership combines regionally relevant scholarly literature with powerful tools to search, track, measure, and collaborate in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities
PHILADELPHIA, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Intellectual Property & Science division of Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced it has partnered with Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) to host the SciELO database on Web of Knowledge(SM), the world's most powerful search and discovery platform.
This partnership will help bring greater visibility and improved access to research from emerging economies, particularly Latin America, the Caribbean, South Africa, and developed Latin-language areas including Spain and Portugal. The SciELO database will be integrated into Web of Knowledge, enabling researchers to review and analyze relevant regional content alongside top-tier international literature.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with SciELO. This will not only enhance the reach of the important research taking place in Spanish-speaking developing countries, but it will also bring new depth to our own data," said Keith MacGregor, executive vice president at Thomson Reuters. "Researchers around the world will gain new insights into the impact of the works emanating from these regions."
Currently, SciELO publishes about 40,000 new articles every year from over 900 open access journals from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Venezuela. The addition of SciELO to Web of Knowledge will follow a similar model to that of the Chinese Science Citation Database, which has been hosted on Web of Knowledge since 2008. Both databases are part of the ongoing content expansion at Thomson Reuters, to spotlight regionally relevant scholarly literature and identify influential authors and research within rapidly developing research centers.
"Supported by the Brazilian fund agency Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) since its inception in 1998, SciELO is one of the earliest initiatives to provide open access to scientific literature. The agreement with Web of Knowledge opens new horizons in SciELO's mission to enhance the visibility of the science done in Latin America, Spain and Portugal," said Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz, scientific director of FAPESP.
"It's our mission to overcome the distribution and dissemination barriers that scientific journals from developing countries face by increasing the accessibility of locally generated scientific information," said Abel Packer, SciELO coordinator. "Giving research in Latin America and other developing areas increased prominence within Web of Knowledge means that the contributions of our researchers will be a more visible part of the global scientific discourse."
Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge provides access to the world's largest citation databases, covering over 100 years of research in more than 24,000 of the highest impact journals from around the world, as well as thousands of academic conference proceedings and scholarly books. For more information about Web of Knowledge, please visit: http://wokinfo.com/.

In addition, the SciELO model comprises quality control and integrated procedures for the measurement of usage and impact of scientific journals.
SciELO was launched in 1998 by FAPESP with the technical cooperation of the Latin America and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME/PAHO/WHO). Since 2002, the Project is also supported by the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq).

New Version of Terracotta's BigMemory Powers Ultra-fast Access to and Search of Terabytes of Data
BigMemory 3.7 Extends In-Memory Capacity by 10X; Expands Search to Terabyte Scale with Snap-in Security
, July 25, 2012 SAN FRANCISCO
/PRNewswire/ -- Terracotta, Inc. today announced a new version of BigMemory, the industry's leading in-memory big data management solution, in response to customer demand for ever-increasing scale. The new version, available immediately, includes significant enhancements in scalability, search and security, and further sets the bar for in-memory data management. BigMemory 3.7 is ideal for organizations that require real-time, in-memory access to terabytes of data to achieve unprecedented speed, performance and scale for the applications that power their business.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120724/LA43584LOGO)
Faced with exploding data volumes - the big data challenge - and a need to instantaneously analyze and act on business information, companies are struggling with current big data solutions that require advanced programming skills and high-level data scientists. BigMemory provides a simple, snap-in solution that easily integrates into existing IT environments to deliver immediate business value. It unlocks the value in big data by maximizing the use of inexpensive memory (RAM) to deliver a comprehensive solution for real-time access to massive amounts of business data, delivering up to 1,000 times faster access to terabytes of data than any other technology.
"Terracotta's BigMemory 3.7 in-memory data acceleration can change the cadence of business operations to support more immediate responses," said Anne MacFarland, principal at MacFarland Consulting. "This can be a game-changer in many industries."
Key capabilities and enhancements to BigMemory 3.7 include:
-- Massive Scale. In response to the exploding growth of customer data,
Terracotta has increased the capacity of BigMemory by a factor of 10.
With BigMemory 3.7, customers can fully utilize all the memory (RAM) in
terabyte servers, and linearly add servers as needed, to deploy massive
in-memory Big Data solutions.
-- In-memory Search. Search has become a critical capability in
Terracotta's big data deployments. With this new optimized release, data
is indexed without significant overhead, empowering users to conduct
fast searches with predictable low latencies across terabytes of
in-memory data.
-- Enhanced Security. In response to customers' requirements for
out-of-the-box security integration, BigMemory 3.7 now provides
transport level security via SSL and heightened security access for
monitoring and managing deployments.
With over 500,000 enterprise deployments, including 70 percent of Global 1000 companies, the adoption of Terracotta's in-memory data management solutions continues to significantly grow. BigMemory is widely used in global markets ranging from financial services, gaming, travel and telecommunications, transforming business operations at companies such as JP Morgan, Sabre, Comcast and Omnifone.
For example, a large national financial institution uses Terracotta to provide accurate fraud detection that can keep up with peak processing loads. With BigMemory they can identify fraud events in real-time, reducing their fraud detection-to-notification time from 45 minutes to less than four seconds. A leading telecommunications carrier seamlessly migrated their call-center to mobile customer self service by storing terabytes of customer data in machine memory. The new system, powered by BigMemory, reduced access latencies from 30 seconds per lookup to 30 milliseconds and revolutionized their customer interaction strategy by transforming the speed at which they can do business.
"The explosion of big data volume, velocity and variety creates business challenges that legacy platforms simply cannot address," said Gary Nakamura, general manager of Terracotta. "BigMemory not only simplifies and dramatically improves big data management performance, but it does so at terabyte scale, creating real opportunities for business innovation for our customers."

Its ProfitStars® division announced today that the Gladiator Adaptive Threat Management methodology blocks an average of 20,000 confirmed malicious connections for Gladiator CoreDEFENSE Managed Security Services(TM) clients every day.

The proactive security controls adapt to the speed at which technology and researchers identify new threats, providing security coverage for many financial institutions before they are impacted.

Blocking more than 600,000 malicious threats each month enables us to proactively stop incidents in their infancy before our client institutions encounter issues or security breaches."

New Websense CyberSecurity Intelligence Services Provide Sandboxing, Forensics and Proactive Training to Combat Threats
Websense CSI On-Demand and Live services help organizations pinpoint attack methods, processes and data targets for a more proactive stance on security
LAS VEGAS, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Hat USA - Advanced threats have evolved to a point where in-house resources alone are not enough to defend against data theft. Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN), a global leader in unified web security, email security, mobile security and data loss prevention (DLP), today announced two new Websense(®) CyberSecurity Intelligence(TM) (CSI) services that give IT security teams access to an online sandbox environment, continuing education, current research and the expert Websense(®) Security Labs(TM) guidance they need to help protect their organizations from cybercriminals and the loss of confidential information.
"Businesses are struggling to protect themselves from unknown, targeted and adaptive security threats because they are more resistant to signature-based security tools," said Christine Liebert, senior analyst for industry analyst firm IDC's Security Services. "The new Websense CSI services provide sandboxing services, forensic details and rich security expertise that are required to help in-house IT security teams combat the latest threats and prevent data loss."
All Websense CSI customers will have access to ThreatScope(TM), an online sandbox environment, to safely test potential malware. Users simply upload a suspicious file to ThreatScope, which applies Websense Advanced Classification Engine (ACE) analytics, activates the file within a sandbox and compiles an extensive report of observed behavior. Insights include the infection process; post-infection activities (such as calling home); system-level events and processes; registry changes and file modifications.
The Websense CSI services are run by the Websense Security Labs and are currently available in two offerings:
-- CSI: On-Demand--A completely online, on-demand sandbox and training
environment that provides exclusive access to a wide variety of
resources to maintain in-house security expertise. Tools include
ThreatScope and online research and forensic investigation training,
techniques and tools.
-- CSI: Live--Includes all online services of CSI: On-Demand, plus the
ability to work directly with Websense Security Labs researchers on
three key areas. First, users have access to a three-day hands-on
training on advanced security research methodologies and techniques.
Second, Websense researchers provide planning assistance, which includes
proactive testing of current security postures and full reviews of
product deployment, configuration and policies. And finally,
confidential forensic incident investigations to determine what happened
and future prevention.
"We spend 24-hours a day, seven days a week investigating and analyzing the latest cyber-attack trends and malware tactics," said Charles Renert, vice president of the Websense Security Labs. "These new services expand our customers' in-house resources and provide them the opportunity to put a Websense Security Labs researcher on their team when they need the expertise the most--when they're under attack."

Together, we're powering this significant paradigm shift to the cloud, enabling customers to backup, archive, distribute and share files around the world at peak velocities."
The Nirvanix Cloud File System(TM) enables billions of objects to be presented as one large global namespace, accessible from any location, while built-in data consistency software ensures that once a change is made to a file stored in the cloud, it's reflected across the entire cloud instantaneously.

The Caring Network: National LambdaRail and AT&T Collaborate on High-Speed Network Connections for Leading Health Sciences Institutions
New Agreement First Step Toward Advancing Efforts in Genomic Medicine to Open up New Possibilities in Customized Patient Care Paths
LOS ANGELES and DALLAS, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --National LambdaRail (NLR) and AT&T* today jointly announced the first step toward a networking solution to virtually connect major cancer centers, universities, medical schools, research hospitals, laboratories and other institutions across the United States to help transform the healthcare industry's ability to diagnose, prevent, treat and/or manage illness and medical conditions of all kinds.
NLR is the nation's premier advanced research communications network and plays a key role in helping connect researchers in the area of genomic medicine - treating a patient based on his or her specific genetic profile. With some chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, a patient may not respond to a particular treatment due to differences in the genetic code.
AT&T will deliver high bandwidth connectivity to NLR's national network infrastructure for leading health sciences institutions, starting with Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. "Saint John's is delighted to be the first hospital in the country to connect," said Lou Lazatin, President and CEO of Saint John's Health Center. "This will allow Saint John's and its cancer research subsidiary, the renowned John Wayne Cancer Institute, to create a gene sequencing center enabling identification of genetic, genomic, and clinical information to tailor treatment and targeted therapies to each individual's disease."
NLR Chairman and CEO Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong described the agreement as "a major advance towards an integrated, robust and secure healthcare information infrastructure for the United States. Working closely with AT&T, NLR plans to offer medical organizations the data handling capacity to make genomic medicine a reality -- no longer confined to researchers, but a transformative tool in the hands of doctors at the point of care. This is the first step to bring genomic science directly to the clinical world of genomic pathology in a way that will support treatment decisions and improved clinical outcomes."
"Our AT&T ForHealth(SM) vision is that technology and smart networks can help create a healthier world, and these connections will help healthcare providers improve the quality of patient care and outcomes," said William Archer, President of Advanced Solutions, AT&T Business and Home Solutions. "As NLR creates a national intranet of health, we plan to help them manage complexity, control costs, improve productivity, and deploy applications and technology infrastructure to advance continuous improvement in healthcare."
AT&T has agreed to provide the middle and last mile connections to NLR's nationwide backbone infrastructure. NLR and AT&T are working together on an expanded relationship to simplify the IT design, management, and evolution of the NLR network. By having AT&T manage the network, NLR will be able to focus on advancing efforts in genomic medicine, bringing evidence-based medicine to the point of care to help providers customize patient care paths. The ultimate goal of the broader solution is to connect virtually all of the nation's key academic, healthcare and research institutions to accelerate the translation of new science into therapy and better healthcare.

Turn To Help® Initiative Launched to Increase Awareness and Treatment for Opioid Painkiller and Heroin Dependence in Response to Growing National Epidemic
Sports analyst and former pro-football star Ray Lucas shares his recovery story to motivate others in need of help
RICHMOND, Va., July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. today announced the launch of an initiative through Turn To Help(®) to increase public awareness of opioid dependence, and to provide much needed resources to people living with this chronic medical condition. Opioid dependence from prescription painkillers and heroin is a disease with many faces -- from those who are ready to tackle their problem but are too ashamed to reach out to those around them; to those who may recognize they have a problem but have no idea where to find help; to the family who sees changes in a loved one, but aren't sure it's opioid dependence. Turn To Help(®) was created to help motivate the wide range of people who struggle with opioid dependence each day and are looking for meaningful solutions. The initiative will reach the public through a series of television, radio, print and digital media, as well as a dedicated educational website at TurnToHelp.com.

"I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to determine a clear path forward. I became addicted to prescription painkillers after undergoing numerous surgeries for my sports injuries," said Ray Lucas, a sports analyst and former pro-football quarterback in recovery who is lending his voice to the Turn To Help(®) initiative. "Seeking medical help was the best thing I ever did as I went from a man who lost his job and home, to reclaiming my place in life again as a husband, father and professional. I want people to know that there are resources available, like TurnToHelp.com, to help people start their road to recovery."
The centerpiece of the initiative is TurnToHelp.com, an educational website created to help inform the public what opioids are, how they affect the brain, risk factors for developing this disease and how dependence can begin. The website was designed to deliver information and resources to empower people to take action by helping them recognize the signs of opioid dependence and learn about the various treatment options available to start their recovery process. Included is a brief, 10-question screening test to assess risk of opioid dependence. Additionally, as opioid dependence is a long-term, chronic disease, similar to diabetes and asthma, that can benefit from treatment in partnership with a healthcare professional, a doctor locator tool that will help people find a local physician who treats and understands opioid dependence is available on the website.
"Opioid dependence is a serious epidemic that affects millions of Americans from all walks of life," said Shaun Thaxter, CEO of Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. "Through the Turn To Help® initiative, we are hoping to encourage people to take action by helping them recognize the signs of opioid dependence and learn about a variety of treatment options, including those available in the privacy of a physician's office, so that they can identify and access the treatment that is right for them."
About Opioid Dependence
Opioid dependence is a chronic and progressive medical condition caused in part by the changes in the chemistry of the brain that can result from regular opioid drug use. Dependence on opioids has been defined as a chronic (long-term) brain disease by the World Health Organization and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Once opioid dependence develops, it is a chronic condition that left untreated can be fatal.
Approximately two million Americans abused or were dependent on opioid prescription painkillers in 2010. In the same year, nearly 400,000 people abused or were dependent on heroin. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in November 2011 issued a report that showed prescription painkiller overdose has reached epidemic levels in the United States, as deaths resulting from prescription painkiller overdose exceeded the number of deaths from heroin and cocaine combined. In fact, the report revealed that on average, more than 40 people die each day from prescription painkiller overdoses, representing an annual death toll of more than 15,000 people in the United States. Furthermore, taking prescription painkillers without a medical need increased 75 percent from 2002 to 2010. A total of 12 million Americans reported misusing prescription painkillers in 2010. Men and individuals ages 26-49 saw the largest increase in nonmedical use of prescription painkillers, taking the drugs 200 or more days a year.
About Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company committed to expanding education and access to medical therapies for patients suffering from the chronic, relapsing brain disease of opioid dependence. The company manufactures and markets medications that, in conjunction with counseling and psychosocial support, treat opioid dependence. Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, a global company publicly traded on the UK stock exchange.

This provides the critical interoperability to support roaming between the lower 700 MHz bands, opening the door for full network build-outs in support of the imminent FCC 2012 build out deadline. Lemko LTE provides a DiMoWiNe (distributed mobile wireless network) solution that is designed to keep network operators profitable by offering the lowest total cost of ownership and superior end-user experience.
"This is a very significant innovation achievement for the LTE 700 MHz market since it shows that interoperability is possible for carriers planning LTE network build-outs in the lower A band channel blocks," says David Dombrowski, Lemko Senior Director of Product Management. "Carriers can now move forward deploying their 700 MHz LTE networks knowing that the technology exists to support contiguous, homogeneous services regardless of band class."
