Lightwave Logic & University of Colorado, Boulder (UCB) Complete First Optical Structures for Integrated Optical Devices

Company to Consolidate Prototype Design Efforts at UCB

NEWARK, Del., June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (OTCQB: LWLG), a technology company focused on the development of a Next Generation Non Linear Optical Polymer Materials Platform for applications in high speed fiber-optic data communications and optical computing, announced today that it has completed the first set of optical structures that will be used as the basic building blocks of their Integrated Optical Device effort.  Furthermore, they will be consolidating the EM Photonics effort into the UCB program.

The optical devices consist of a commonly used Mach Zhender interferometric modulator and waveguide structures that have been successfully fabricated with one of the Perkinamine(TM) family advanced electro-optical polymers.

Tom Zelibor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic commented, "The structures that have been recently fabricated by Dr. Alan Mickelson at UCB are an important first step in the construction of both our advanced telecom modulator and data communications transceiver.  I am very impressed with the quality of the film deposition and the speed at which these structures have been developed.  In consideration of this, I am consolidating our parallel design program recently initiated at EM Photonics into the UCB effort.

"We have found that the structures produced at UCB are compatible with our materials and their device structure and processes have already been passively tested. The next step will be to determine the electronic coupling design and poling process to calculate the resulting electro-optical activity of the Perkinamine(TM) Family of materials. With satisfactory results, we can begin the final assembly of initial prototypes.

"When working prototypes are in hand, we will demonstrate to potential customers, some whom we have already worked with previously.  They represent a total market of many billions of dollars.  Their demand is increasing for high-speed integrated optical devices that can increase data transmission rates and reduce power requirements in response to an insatiable growth in bandwidth requirements."

Lowepro Launches Two New Bag Series: The Transit AW and Photo Sport Shoulder

Transit AW provides fast-access, multi-device  solution ideal for urban photographers and travelers

Outdoor-inspired, multi-use Photo Sport Shoulder offers versatile design for photo enthusiasts

PETALUMA, Calif., June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowepro, a product design company that builds protective gear for photography, video and portable electronic devices, launches its newest DSLR camera bag - a multi-device carrying solution with an innovative UltraFlex((TM)) fit system for city and travel: the Transit AW series. In addition, the company unveils its new and sporty camera shoulder bags designed to offer photography enthusiasts a versatile, lightweight solution for a DSLR or mirrorless/CSC kit: the Photo Sport Shoulder series.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130607/CG28145)

Transit AW Series

The Transit AW series is built for speed, multiple devices and flexibility - the essential features shooters need to get the perfect shots and easily move from location to location. The fast-opening side access allows a photographer to grab a camera via the zippered compartment when the pack or sling is rotated from back to front. A multi-device interior offers dedicated and protective spaces for camera with attached lens, extra lenses, a flash and accessories, plus a separate and padded compartment for a laptop (in the backpack) or tablet (in the sling).

"We incorporated the best access and protective features of our top-selling, urban DSLR backpack and DSLR sling designs - then added a versatile UltraFlex((TM)) fit system to give photographers choices on how they pack and organize a wide variety of camera and personal gear," said Tim Grimmer, worldwide director of product management and design. "The result is a lightweight and ergonomic design that lets you configure your set-up in multiple ways and helps get you to your destinations with ease."

Lowepro's innovative UltraFlex((TM)) fit system provides versatile ways to fit, organize and protect camera and personal gear via the central flex divider, lens cradle and smaller dividers - all padded and constructed with hook/loop fasteners for easy adjustments. The lens cradle may be used to support a long lens when it's placed vertically in the main compartment.

The Transit AW series also features: a built-in All Weather AW Cover((TM)) to protect gear from the elements; a Hideaway Tripod Mount((TM)) to secure a compact tripod or monopod to the side of the pack or sling; ergonomic straps to help evenly distribute weight for a comfortable carry; and a stow-away, stabilizing waist strap to offer extra security when on the move.

The Transit Backpack 350 AW fits a Pro DSLR with attached lens (up to 70-200mm for side access, or 300mm when stored vertically); 1-2 extra lenses; flash and accessories; compact tripod; and a 15" laptop.

The Transit Sling 250 AW fits a DSLR with attached lens (up to 24-700mm for side access, or 70-200mm when stored vertically) or a mirrorless/CSC kit; 1-2 extra lenses; flash and accessories; compact tripod; and a 10" tablet.

Photo Sport Shoulder Series

The Photo Sport Shoulder is built to accommodate a wide variety of camera and personal gear. The customizable and removable camera insert provides padded protection and a versatile divider system that adjusts to fit a DSLR or a mirrorless/CSC kit - making it easy to change up gear depending on the day's shooting plans. The insert is also adjustable within the shoulder bag: hook/loop attachments at the base allow you to position your camera gear at the front, middle or back of bag - depending on where you want to carry the equipment weight.

"Our new Photo Sport Shoulder takes its inspiration from our award-winning Photo Sport designs," said Grimmer. "To make this travel-friendly shoulder bag a 'sport,' we added durable ripstop nylon for lightweight resiliency, thick webbing straps for a comfortable and secure fit on the body, plus a storm-flap closure for extra moisture protection around the camera box. With this design, photographers have the flexibility to use this as a DSLR bag, mirrorless/CSC bag, or to carry a day's worth of personal items."

To create even more flexibility for photo enthusiasts, travelers and daytrippers, the camera insert in the Photo Sport Shoulder may be securely cinched with a storm-flap closure, lifted out via grab handles, and put in a safe place while the shoulder bag is converted to a fully functional day bag.

Multiple storage options provide plentiful space for all types of items. The roomy interior fits lunch, a light jacket, a tablet with its protective cover, sunglasses and other essentials. Two exterior zippered pockets are the perfect places to stash a smartphone, lens cap, wallet, keys or lip balm. An interior zippered mesh pocket holds spare batteries, memory cards and cables. Lastly, a quick-grab outer pocket fits a water bottle to keep hydration within easy reach.

The Photo Sport Shoulder is available in a 12L and 18L size and features a purple and grey color combination.

TORONTO, June 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Samsung Canada last night announced that
it is providing Canadians with a new line of refrigerators offering
best in-class features that deliver style and sophistication to the
kitchen. Debuting in Toronto at Momofuku on June 6, 2013, Samsung's new
T9000 Refrigerator (RF32FMQDBSR) and True Built-In Refrigerator
(RS27FDBTNSR) represent the next stage in refrigeration design - taking
style and innovation to a more premium level. With an exclusive dinner
created by Chef David Chang at Daisho, the event also showcases the
recently launched Samsung Four-Door Refrigerator with Automatic
Sparkling Water Powered by SodaStream (RF31FMESBSR).

"Samsung Canada's next evolution of refrigerators will enhance kitchens
across Canada," says Warner Doell, Vice President of Home Appliance
Sales and Marketing for Samsung Canada. "Canadians want beautiful
appliances that offer flexibility, organization and keep food fresh -
Samsung delivers this by providing refrigerators that redefine the
experience in the kitchen."

Samsung's new T9000 Refrigerator boasts organization and flexibility in
a mega capacity fridge while Samsung's True Built-In Refrigerator
blends seamlessly into your kitchen line - offering the perfect fit.
Additionally, Samsung's Four-Door Refrigerator with Automatic Sparkling
Water Powered by SodaStream brings the premium taste of sparkling water
right to the kitchen with the industry's first-ever automatic sparkling
water dispenser. These three new appliances will appeal to a multitude
of Canadian family needs and styles.

Samsung T9000 Refrigerator (RF32FMQDBSR)

Perfect for busy families, Samsung's new T9000 Refrigerator is the
epitome of flexibility and style featuring a lower right compartment
that can be used as a fridge or freezer as desired. This compartment is
complemented by a dedicated freezer on the left side in this unique and
versatile design.  Imagine the possibilities of using the lower right
side compartment as a kid zone, as a prep zone for a special meal, as a
centralized storage area for a family member with dietary restrictions,
or to replace a separate beverage refrigerator.

In addition, with the T9000's 32 cu.ft capacity and up to 25.5 cu. ft.
of fresh food storage, you don't have to worry about available fridge
space when purchasing groceries. This fridge also features
revolutionary triple cooling technology that perfectly cools the large
space without difficulty. With the triple cooling technology and two
compressors, consumers can keep more food fresher longer.

Samsung's T9000 Refrigerator is available at select retailers for (MRP)
$4,599.99.

Samsung True Built-In Refrigerator (RS27FDBTNSR/AC)

This inspiring refrigerator uses the 3rd Generation Digital Inverter

reduces energy consumption through temperature, humidity and usage
pattern adjustment. The refrigerator's Smart Eco® system uses 11 smart
sensors that continually regulate the compressor, minimizing energy
consumption. Optimal humidity and air transfer avoidance ensures that
food stays fresher longer, and the refrigerator's twin cooling system
uses two independent fans and evaporators for each compartment ensuring
flexibility and optimal humidity.

Additionally, a sleek 8" LCD full touch screen monitor allows consumers

to manage groceries, search recipes and enjoy family photos - a perfect
complement for the hub of the home.

Samsung's True Built-In Refrigerator retails at (MRP) $7999.99 and will

Samsung Four-Door Refrigerator with Automatic Sparkling Water Powered by
SodaStream (RF31FMESBSR)

With the new Samsung Four-Door Refrigerator with Automatic Sparkling
Water Powered by SodaStream, getting the crisp delicious taste of
sparkling water is as easy as pushing a button.

According to a recent survey conducted by Samsung on the Angus Reid
Forum, 42% of Canadians surveyed prefer carbonated water to still
water, and for the 64% of respondents who prefer their sparkling water
lightly carbonated, Samsung's Four-Door Refrigerator with Automatic
Sparkling Water provides three different levels of carbonation.

Using the same control panel you would use to select between still water
or ice, families can select up to three levels of carbonation for their
sparkling water, perfect to quench any thirst. The sparkling water
dispenser uses a standard SodaStream 60L CO2 cylinder which rests in a
small, concealed area inside the left refrigerator door, making it easy
to refresh when empty.

In addition, the survey also found 55% of Canadians are unaware that
in-home carbonation products exist, and that 29% would drink more
sparkling water with access to this technology. Luckily for this
growing demand, Samsung's constant innovation and anticipation of
consumer needs is making this possible.

The refrigerator also boasts convenient storage features like the
kid-friendly counter-height FlexZone(TM) drawer with four temperature
settings, and the proprietary Twin Cooling Plus(TM) technology that keeps
food fresher longer. This model also includes high efficiency LED
lighting to illuminate virtually every corner and the Ice Master® ice
maker which produces up to 10 lbs. of ice per day.

Samsung's Four-Door Refrigerator with Automatic Sparkling Water Powered
by SodaStream is available at select retailers for (MRP) $3,799.

About the Poll

From April 9th to April 11th, 2013, an online survey was conducted among
3,018 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Angus Reid Forum
panelists. Out of the full base, 1044 respondents are carbonated water
drinkers (i.e. those that drink it often or sometimes). The margin of
error on the full base --which measures sampling variability--is +/-
1.6%, 19 times out of 20. The results have been statistically weighted
according to education, age, gender and region (and in Quebec language)
Census data to ensure a sample representative of the entire adult
population of Canada. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to
rounding.

Wavien, Inc. Promotes Energy Conserving Green Technology using Recycling Light Technology in the Projection Markets

VALENCIA, Calif., June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wavien, Inc. has developed the Recycling Light Technology (RLT(TM)) for increasing brightness of LEDs for small target illumination in the digital projection.  The brightness increase mechanism can be used to conserve energy by lowering the power consumption while satisfying the same brightness specifications.  This is especially important for battery-powered projectors where battery life is very important.

The RLT technology improves brightness to LEDs with full color capability.  The range of recycling can have an increase of brightness from 30% for the red, to over 180% for the white. This equates to an energy saving of 25% to 65% in power consumption or increase in battery lifetime by 30% to 280%.

Traditional light collection optics platforms do not increase the brightness of the LED and as a result, are not efficient for projection.  The recycling collar is a very low-cost optical component that captures the wasted light in conventional optics designs, recycles the light and redirecting it back into the output beam allowing increased efficiency, while reducing the power consumption.  "Wavien's RLT technology for LED offers outstanding energy saving by recovering unused high angle light from the LED.  This recycling technique is a benefit for a wide range of applications including projectors and spot lights," stated Dr. Kenneth Li, President and CEO of Wavien, Inc., who is also the inventor of the recycling technology.  Dr. Li added:  "This unique design enables LED based products to be able to reduce power consumption by 35% and up to 280%."  The diameter of the aperture on the collar, which determines the amount of recycling, can be scaled to meet the user's needs and determines the beam angle.  "Clearly the RLT technology will revolutionize the projection industry especially in battery operated devices where battery life is a very important factor." stated Dr. Li.

This LED recycling technique is also being introduced into many other areas of illumination including medical light sources and consumer projectors.  Wavien will show this technology at InfoComm 2013 in Orlando, Florida from June 12 - 14 at booth #381

About Wavien, Inc.

Wavien, based in Valencia, California, is a technology licensing company developing long-life, high-performance light sources and engine prototypes for the general light, medical lighting, entertainment, fiber optic, and the projection lighting industries.  Wavien currently offers its unique "Recycling Light Technology" for light sources including LEDs and plasma lamps.  Wavien also work on laser excited phosphor using liquid cooling for high power applications for the projection industries.  Wavien continue to support the lighting and projection industries with its Dual Paraboloid Reflector (DPR(TM)) technology ("DPR") using ultra-high-pressure arc lamps and high power xenon lamps.

Advanced Photonix Introduces New Coherent Receiver With Integrated VOA For High-Capacity 100G Networks

ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Photonix(®) (NYSE MKT: API), today announced that Picometrix, LLC, an API wholly owned subsidiary, has introduced a new 100G coherent receiver and has increased its supply chain capacity to meet demand in the growing 100G coherent optical communications market.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130304/LA69982LOGO)

The new product is based on the industry standard CCRx MSA and OIF compliant CR-100A package and further expands the Picometrix industry leading 100G product family. The innovative receiver integrates a variable optical attenuator (VOA) on the signal path and is designed to increase dynamic range, as well as improve optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) performance. The receiver (CR-100D) spans the entire extended C and L band wavelengths and can be used in "colorless" coherent networks that enable service providers to better manage network capacity. Colorless capabilities allow communication equipment to utilize any wavelength for any port at the add/drop site.

The demand for 100G coherent equipment has been growing rapidly as bandwidth intensive applications like full motion video and social media place demands on the networks infrastructure. Virtually every carrier is deploying, or plans to deploy, 100G systems into the Long Haul and Metro markets over the next several years. Over the past few quarters this sharp increase in demand, coupled with supply chain shortages, has placed a strain on the Company's ability to meet customer demand. The Company has worked diligently with strategic suppliers to significantly increase capacity, lower costs and provide added value in order to satisfy this rapid increase in demand.

"We are excited to add the CR-100D receiver to our 100G product offering and continue to expand our industry leading coherent receiver line," said Robin Risser, COO for Advanced Photonix, Inc. "I am equally pleased that our team has successfully resolved our supply chain bottlenecks. As a result we are experiencing robust growth in our 100G receiver product platform this quarter and are in a strong position to meet growing market demands."

IBM and 10gen Collaborate to Bring Mobile to the Enterprise

New Standard Will Extend the IBM MobileFirst Strategy for Mobile App Development; Broadens IBM and MongoDB's Commitment to Open Standards

ARMONK, N.Y. and NEW YORK, Jun 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and 10gen, the MongoDB company, today announced they are collaborating on a new standard that will enable the Global 2000 to more easily embrace mobile computing. Driving this standard will help to unlock all of the data that exists within an enterprise and simplify the creation of next generation mobile and web apps for all platforms. 

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO)

Since its inception, four million developers have downloaded MongoDB, the leading NoSQL database technology, to design mobile and web apps. By embracing this new standard, the two companies are providing mobile developers with the ability to combine the critical data managed by IBM DB2 systems with the next generation mobile apps that are being designed using MongoDB. 

Now, organizations will be able to seamlessly create sophisticated apps without having to invest in new skills or tools that they do not possess today. MongoDB adoption is already broad across enterprises of all sizes, according to a number of indices, and by working together the two companies expect that adoption to grow.

This collaboration further extends the IBM MobileFirst strategy to enable the quick and easy development of mobile apps for the enterprise. It also complements IBM's recent announcement of intent to acquire SoftLayer Technologies Inc., the world's largest privately held cloud computing infrastructure provider, making it easier for developers to access the technologies that support this new style of app development.

With the help of this new standard, the widely adopted MongoDB query language and API will evolve to give developers and data administrators flexibility and choice when deploying modern apps. Using IBM Eclipse tools with IBM Worklight Studio, developers can now integrate MongoDB APIs for a consistent app development experience from device to the back end.

According to a 2012 survey by IDG Research, 86 percent of IT decision makers view enterprise app projects as a critical or strategic priority, but two-thirds of respondents indicate it is extremely or very challenging to deliver these apps on time or on budget. By ensuring that mobile apps have access to all relevant data, an organization can now create new apps that were not possible before.

"As companies face the next era of computing, they must embrace the transformation that technologies such as mobile, big data, cloud and social business are driving in the industry," said Jerry Cuomo, IBM Fellow, and WebSphere chief Technology officer. "Through its support of MongoDB, IBM is marrying the database world with the new world of mobile app development. Now, millions of developers will be able to deliver new, engaging enterprise apps that leverage the vast data resources managed by organizations around the world."

"10gen recognizes the importance of open governance models for developing projects for the community," said Max Schireson, chief executive officer at 10gen. "IBM has played a critical role in bringing important new technologies to the enterprise, including inventing the relational database and popularizing Structured Query Language (SQL) and Linux. We are excited to collaborate with IBM and other interested parties in evolving the standards for interacting with MongoDB."

Driving a Commitment to Open Standards

By joining the MongoDB community, IBM will bring its experience in collaborating on an open standards governance model to ensure MongoDB will be developed in the spirit of the open source world. To help propel the MongoDB community, IBM will also contribute its expertise in security and international languages to ensure the standard can be used in any geography.

IBM will standardize on BSON, the MongoDB wire protocol and the MongoDB query language in two key application technologies: the elastic, in-memory WebSphere eXtreme Scale data grid platform and the DB2 database platform. 10gen will work with IBM, and other interested parties, to develop these standards. Customers can begin to use these new features in the third quarter of 2013 by pairing eXtreme Scale with MongoDB, and by running their MongoDB apps on DB2 directly.

Partner to both 10gen and IBM, Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, views today's news as incredibly positive for the open source community.

"IBM has been a critical contributor to the adoption and success of open source technologies, including playing a big role in the growth of Linux," said Paul Cormier, President of Products and Technologies at Red Hat. "We share IBM's excitement about the emergence of MongoDB in mobile and web apps, and we're excited to see IBM join the MongoDB community."

About IBM MobileFirst
As the first new technology platform for business to emerge since the World Wide Web, mobile computing represents one of the greatest opportunities for organizations to expand their business. Based on nearly 1,000 customer engagements, more than 10 mobile-related acquisitions in the last four years, a team of thousands of mobile experts and 270 patents in wireless innovations, IBM MobileFirst provides the key elements of an application and data platform with the management, security and analytics capabilities needed for the enterprise.

505 Games Announces E3 2013 Lineup

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global videogame publisher 505 Games today announced its product lineup for this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 11-13. Highly anticipated titles PAYDAY 2, Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons and TAKEDOWN: Red Sabre lead the game's being showcased in West Hall, meeting room #505.

"At this year's E3, 505 Games will showcase the company's most diverse lineup yet," said Ian Howe, president, 505 Games North America. "Our titles appeal to a wide range of gamers across all genres and platforms and there is no better place to unveil them than at E3."

PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets gamers don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew - Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains - as they descend on Washington D.C. for an epic crime spree. The new CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to major league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic PAYDAY. Up to four friends co-operate on the hits and as the crew progresses the jobs become bigger, better and more rewarding. PAYDAY 2 is in development by Overkill Software for the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®3 Network and Windows® PC via Steam by Valve(®) Corporation. The game will be released this summer and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

TAKEDOWN: Red Sabre is a deadly tactical shooter that is perfect for the player who chooses to engage in deliberate and methodical gameplay as opposed to gamers who want to run in with guns blazing.  Gamers experience lethal, close-quarters battles as a member of the elite Red Sabre team and each scenario is designed to emulate the tactics employed by SWAT teams and SOF units in taking down small numbers of dangerous adversaries. Non-linear environments allow for multiple routes, tactics and added replayability. TAKEDOWN: Red Sabre is in development by Serellan, a team of veteran developers who have worked on acclaimed titles in the Ghost Recon, Halo, SOCOM, SWAT and F.E.A.R. franchises. The team is led by Christian Allen, the former creative director of the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise. The game will be released this fall on the Xbox Live® online entertainment network from Microsoft as an arcade game for Xbox 360 and for Windows PC via Steam by Valve Corporation. It has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

In Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, two young boys, desperate to cure their ailing father, are left with but one option. They must set out upon a journey to find and bring back the "Water of Life" as they come to rely on one another to survive. One must be strong where the other is weak, brave where the other is fearful, they must be... Brothers.  In Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons players guide two brothers on an epic fairy tale journey from visionary Swedish film director Josef Fares. Gamers control both brothers at once as they experience co-op play like never before as they solve puzzles, explore varied locations and fight boss battles all while controlling one brother with each thumb stick. This is one journey you will never forget. Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons is in development by Starbreeze Studios for Xbox Live as an arcade game for Xbox 360, PlayStation®Network and Windows PC via Steam by Valve Corporation.  The game will be released this summer and has been rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB.

Ever wondered how you would handle being a castaway on a zombie infested island with no foreseeable way out? How to Survive is a third-person action adventure game that equips players to stay alive in a world where the outbreak of an unknown virus has turned most of the population into zombies. How to Survive puts players in the center of the action as someone who, after an accident, finds themselves on an island amidst a small archipelago off the coast of Colombia ... but there are other inhabitants. In order to make it through the day and night, gamers must learn to fulfill the most basic of needs, such as seeking food, water and shelter, as well as crafting dozens of tools and weapons from fishing rods to Molotov cocktails. How to Survive is in development for Xbox Live as an arcade game for Xbox 360, PlayStation®Network, Nintendo's Wii U(TM) eShop and Windows PC via Steam by Valve Corporation. The game will be released in the fall and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

The critically acclaimed Terraria is headed to mobile platforms so gamers on the go experience all of the digging, fighting, exploring and building that PC and console gamers have been raving about.  Players explore vast and vibrant worlds with friends and face the treacherous perils of Terraria including hundreds of twisted foes, magical creatures and mighty bosses. Gamers literally dig to the ends of the earth and then craft with what they discover to make amazing armor, weapons and other items in order to build fantastic dwellings using only their imagination as their limit - Terraria is their canvas. Terraria for mobile platforms will be released this summer.

E3 Expo assets will be available on Monday, June 10 at 6:00 a.m. PDT at:

Control4 Wireless Music Bridge Delivers Streaming Music throughout the Home from any Smartphone or Tablet

You or your guests can easily share and distribute personal music, radio and podcasts anywhere in the home

SALT LAKE CITY, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Control4, a market leader in home automation systems, makes whole-home music streaming easier for everyone in the house with the new Control4(®) Wireless Music Bridge. The new product enables you, your family and guests to instantly and wirelessly connect smartphones, tablets or computers -- and all the music stored on those devices -- to a Control4 system, allowing everyone in the house to enjoy their personal music collection through the home's audio system.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130606/PH27707LOGO-b)

With the Control4 Wireless Music Bridge, if you can listen to it from your smartphone, tablet or computer, you can listen to it in any audio zone in your home. In addition to stored music libraries, the new Control4 Wireless Music Bridge also provides a convenient path for Control4 customers to connect to streaming music services such as Pandora, Spotify, or Rdio from their personal smart devices - all while preserving full phone and smart device browsing and app capabilities.

"I listen to Spotify so much these days that I've seriously been considering replacing my home theater receiver with a newer model with the streaming service built in," said Joe Hageman, a longtime Control4 customer. "Thanks to the Control4 Wireless Music Bridge, I don't have to. Any new streaming audio service that's available on my smart phone or tablet is also instantly available via any sound system in or around the house."

Just walk in the door, pull out your phone or tablet, and fire up your favorite playlist via AirPlay, and enjoy your favorite music -- not on a little portable wireless speaker system, but on the best speakers in the house. Combining Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity technologies into a single product, the Control4 Wireless Music Bridge allows nearly every smart device to bridge music, podcasts, news, sports and audio books into the Control4 system, while providing full support for streaming AirPlay, Bluetooth and DLNA.

Add additional Wireless Music Bridges to your Control4 system, and every member of the household can have his or her own direct wireless portal to every zone of audio in the home. Minimize your music app, and the artwork and metadata still streams directly into the Control4 environment for display within the Control4 "Now Playing" interface on touch panels, TV screens, or your smart device.

Control4 has also released their newest software Control4(®)OS 2.5 to power the new Wireless Music Bridge, along with the company's new next generation of Wireless and Panelized Lighting Control solutions. OS 2.5 also includes new tools to assist dealers with day-to-day maintenance and deployments, making the overall Control4 installation experience more efficient and convenient.

The Control4 Wireless Music Bridge is shipping now at an introductory price of $300 US MSRP. For more information visit http://www.control4.com.

Free Action MMORPG Open Beta Successful, Launch Date Set for June 20, 2013

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect World Entertainment Inc. and Cryptic Studios are excited to announce that the most anticipated and already widely-acclaimed free action MMORPG Neverwinter, set in the Dungeons & Dragons® Forgotten Realms(®) universe from Wizards of the Coast, concludes Open Beta Testing and launches on June 20, 2013.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120524/SF12225LOGO)

"Boy, we have a lot going on. But then that was the plan from the very beginning," said Cryptic Studios Executive Producer and COO, Craig Zinkievich. "The feedback from players has been incredible. With their help during our Beta Test periods and our accumulated experience from having launched five MMOs, we're confident we've worked out all the major kinks and can sustain the world of Neverwinter without the Beta safety net. I personally thank our Open Beta players for providing an enormous amount of valuable feedback and supporting us during every single step of the development process. As a token of that appreciation, we're running an in-game promotional event near the end of Open Beta. Of course, alongside the launch day comes the release of Gauntlgrym, which adds more end-game content. And, we just announced Fury of the Feywild, ourfirst content expansion for Neverwinter, which will all be, in classic D&D(®) fashion, Modules. Yeah, there is a lot going on. But we wouldn't have it any other way. The game is doing great and we love working on it."

"We have been thrilled with the work that Cryptic Studios and Perfect World have done on Neverwinter, and the tremendous response from the fans," said Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for Dungeons & Dragons at Wizards of the Coast. "This is one of the Forgotten Realms' most iconic cities and we are excited for the millions of fans that will create their own stories in Neverwinter."

Neverwinter entered Open Beta on April 30, which allowed all players unrestricted access to the game world. Those who participate in Open Beta will see their entire game progress rolled over to launch on June 20, after a short maintenance.

The Gauntlgrym end-game content referred to features a massive PvE and PvP battleground where players fight for the greatest treasures hidden deep in the ancient Dwarven city.

Fury of the Feywild, the first Module for Neverwinter, is a free content expansion due this summer that chronicles an attempt by Fomorian Giants to seize the Elven city of Sharandar. More details about Fury of the Feywild are scheduled to be added to the Module's microsite (now just a teaser) as it closes in on its summer launch: http://nw.perfectworld.com/module1

Neverwinter is a free action MMORPG that features fast-paced action combat with epic dungeons. Players explore the vast city of Neverwinter and surrounding countryside, learning the vivid history of the iconic city and battling its many enemies. In Neverwinter, players can create their own quests and campaigns with the Foundry, a user-generated content tool. Foundry quests and stories can then be seamlessly integrated into the live game world.

    --  For active dads: Get dad in on the digital fitness trend with the

        hoops with the kids or heads out on a run. In addition, Klipsch S4
        Headphones are perfect for playing to music or podcasts while running,
        hiking or biking. They come with three different sizes of washable
        eartips for just the right fit. Plus, dad can wash these bad boys after
        he puts them to good use.
    --  For the outdoorsman: Portable power is a must have for the outdoors.
        Whether camping, at a baseball game or hunting, the Enercell 3000mAh
        Portable Power Bank gives dad up to 10 hours additional phone charge,
        eliminating the worry of being far from an outlet.
    --  For the kid at heart: RC lovers love RadioShack, where you can give dad
        hours of fun with the RC Stealth Flyer Indoor Helicopter or other
        popular remote control options.
    --  For the maker dad: Upgrade dad's DIY workshop with the RadioShack
        60-piece Electronics Tool Kit or ColdHeat Soldering Tool.  If dad needs
        something specific to finish a project, no place offers such a
        convenient selection of do-it-yourself electronics supplies for every
        skill level.
    --  For summer travel: dad (and mom) will appreciate being able to plug in a
        laptop or DVD player for sanity-saving entertainment the whole drive
        with an Enercell 150W Power Inverter. For more travel tech suggestions,
        read the "Top 5 Travel Tech" post on RadioShack's techspecs blog.

Leveraging its experience and content in the outdoor marketplace, Rand McNally's Foris(TM) 850 comes loaded with millions of miles of high-quality street and trail maps, a sturdy bike mount, and an easy-to-use interface with on-device help.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130606/CG26982)

Announced at the Outdoor Retailer show, Winter Market, the Foris(TM) 850 has been in beta testing and reviews by outdoor enthusiasts since January. Received favorably, the Foris(TM) 850 is the result of collaboration between Rand McNally and Falk Outdoor Navigation, a business unit of United Navigation Limited.

"The Foris is designed to provide a 'trail ready' experience out of the box with everything included to get outside and go," explained Dave Marsh, Vice President of Research and Development, Rand McNally. "Consumers have come to expect turn-by-turn voice guidance on GPS and in-car units, and we've brought that feature uniquely to the outdoor market with guidance on trails as well as roads."

"Other industry firsts include Loop Me, a feature that creates a looped trail with the same starting and ending point, based on the user's preferred time or distance for the hike or ride, and TrackNav, which creates navigable routes from 'breadcrumb' trails," Marsh explained.

Other key features of the Foris(TM) device are:

    --  Multiple U.S. map databases on device, including Rails-to-Trails
        Conservancy, U.S National Park Service trails, National Forestry hiking
        trails and multi-purpose trails, U.S. National Wildlife Refuge trails,
        and the national hydrographic dataset, among others. The trail maps are
        pre-loaded as vector trails, rather than raster images, allowing for
        navigation and routing vs. just viewing
    --  Millions of points of interest relevant to the Outdoor market, such as
        trailheads, high points, bike shops, recreation areas, and campgrounds
    --  Spoken and visual turn-by-turn directions, even on trails
    --  Route Compare feature that compares three alternative routes, along with
        their elevation profiles
    --  Paperless geocaching through direct integration with geocaching.com; all
        descriptions, hints,  logs, difficulty and terrain level on device
    --  Storage capacity for a category-leading 7,000 waypoints
    --  Barometric altimeter that shows accurate elevation levels on the map, or
        along current trail as well as how far to the top of a mountain or other
        location
    --  Trailhead companion software for desktop computers allows geocaches,
        hikes and rides to be stored, viewed, and  transferred to and from the
        Foris(TM)
    --  Glove friendly 3" touch screen (240 x 400 pixels)  is sensitive enough
        to be used with biking gloves on
    --  All you need in the box including bike mount, batteries, an anti-glare
        screen protector, 8 GB internal memory
The Foris(TM) 850 has a suggested retail price of $399.99* and is anticipated to be the first in a line of outdoor market products from Rand McNally.

The Foris(TM) 850 will be available exclusively at amazon.com beginning June 7 and at other retailers as of June 21, 2013.

Broadcom® 5G WiFi Powers New NTT DOCOMO Smartphone by Sharp

Ecosystem of Available 5G WiFi Products Continues to Expand Across Globe

IRVINE, Calif., June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

News Highlights:

    --  New NTT DOCOMO smartphone by Sharp adopts Broadcom(®) 5G WiFi
        technology
    --  5G WiFi, based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard, enables faster, more
        reliable wireless connectivity with significantly less battery drain
    --  Announcement demonstrates rapid adoption of 5G WiFi across all product
        segments
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced the new NTT DOCOMO smartphone by Sharp has adopted Broadcom 5G WiFi technology.  Powered by the BCM4335, the AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-06E provides customers with the speed, reliability and power benefits of 5G WiFi and adds to the growing ecosystem of 5G WiFi products available today.  For more news, visit Broadcom's Newsroom.

The 5G WiFi ecosystem has quickly expanded globally across mobile, home and office networking product segments to include mobile devices, routers, HDTVs, and laptops.  In March 2013, Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced the permitted use of IEEE 802.11ac channels and operating bands.  Since then, several Broadcom partners have launched new 5G WiFi products in Japan including BUFFALO, Inc.'s AirStation(TM) WZR-1750DHP wireless router.  As 5G WiFi proliferates into tablets and smartphones like the AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-06E, coverage and battery life will improve, leading to faster download times and a better wireless experience.

"The continued expansion of Broadcom's 5G WiFi across all wireless product segments enables more and more consumers to enjoy the benefits of the technology," said David Recker, Broadcom Senior Director, Product Marketing, Wireless Connectivity Combos.  "We're thrilled to partner with leading companies like Sharp and BUFFALO in driving adoption of high speed 802.11ac connectivity in Japan and around the world."

The rise in content consumption, particularly in video, coupled with the growing number of wireless devices being used to access networks has placed tremendous stress on existing 802.11a/b/g/n networks, resulting in poor performance, reduced battery life, and slower load times in streaming content.  5G WiFi improves the wireless range and reliability in the home, allowing consumers to watch HD-quality video from more devices, and offers broader coverage with fewer dead spots. It also enhances the ability to connect multiple devices to the network at the same time and reduces power consumption by up to 83 percent[1] in mobile devices.

"The next generation of Wi-Fi offers significant advantages over the current 802.11n standard.  As consumer electronics companies continue to embrace the new technology, users worldwide are seeing the benefits of end-to-end 802.11ac performance for HD video-grade connectivity. This latest device demonstrates a wider trend for rapid uptake of 802.11ac in smartphones, and by 2014, it is expected that over 50 percent of smartphones shipped will be 802.11ac enabled," said Peter Cooney, Practice Director, ABI Research.

Availability

The new AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-06E is available today from NTT DOCOMO, INC.

zeebox Personalizes Second Screen Experience With First Fan-Driven 'TV Rooms'

Custom Communities Allow Fans to Own Second Screen Experience; Bravo Signs on as First Network to Develop Official Network Room to Celebrate 'Real Housewives' 100th Episode Special

NEW YORK, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- zeebox, the second screen technology leader and universal TV-watching companion, today announced the official launch of zeebox TV Rooms, a completely new approach to second screen viewing that will impact the way fans interact, engage, individualize and experience TV.  The new approach will also ultimately alter the way brands, advertisers and partners engage with fans. zeebox TV Rooms 1.0 (beta) is a user-driven community for passionate TV fans to share experiences and thoughts with fellow fans in virtual rooms they create or join that are specific to shows, characters, themes and more.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130606/NY27367)

While TV Rooms are largely fan-driven, Bravo Media is the first network to set up an official network-sponsored zeebox TV Room. The "Real Housewives" TV Room - which will go live in tandem with the season premiere "The Real Housewives of Orange County: 100th Episode Special" on Monday, June 24 at 8pm ET/PT - will begin with a bang featuring a special event that includes current and former "Real Housewives" including Jo de la Rosa, Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Barney, as well as Bravo's very own Andy Cohen - allowing live interaction for fans with their favorite villainous or 'housewife of the year' within the official Bravo Media TV Room.

"As the first network to partner with zeebox for a dedicated TV Room, we're excited to celebrate the Real Housewives of Orange County's 100th episode in a larger way that extends beyond the TV screen," said Lisa Hsia, EVP of digital for Bravo Media. "By creating a dialogue between fans and Housewives within zeebox during the special, we're providing our dedicated fans with an added layer of engagement for commemorating this milestone with Bravo and each other -- while upholding Bravo's commitment to pioneering cross-platform experiences for fans."

"The number one request from consumers has been to further personalize their zeebox experience," said Jason Forbes, executive vice president USA of zeebox. "The launch of TV Rooms gives anyone the ability to join and build a range of different communities centered around one or a set of TV shows - a place where they can call the shots, share ideas, conversations and organize affinity groups based on what's important to them."

Also available in each TV Room is a program schedule featuring shows that are tied to the show or theme of each TV Room. For example, in the "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" TV Room, the populated shows list may tell you that "The Following" comes on Fox at 9pm as well as any upcoming Kevin Bacon movies. Live, contextual "zeetags" also appear as characters, products and other pertinent information appear in the show, giving viewers an immediate link to learn more and drive topical discussions.

At launch, the app features more than 4,000 TV Rooms (numbers will vary based on location/TV provider) across shows within the two-week viewing schedule, as well as 60 themed TV Rooms ranging from "Reality TV Time" to "Late Night Show Breakdown." The Top 50 Rooms will be highlighted every week and ranked based on activity (likes, comments, shares) and members currently joining.

The TV Rooms feature is available for iOS devices in the App Store and is accessible within the menu tabs of the zeebox app. TV Rooms will be available for Android devices in the coming weeks. Starting a TV Room is easy and requires four quick steps, very similar to beginning a social media account. From there, 'TV Room Owners' can invite friends to the room, post conversation starters, like/comment on posts and share the room via social networks and email.

Future versions of the app coming in a matter of weeks will extend the consumer experience even further with new features that will include rich media/video experiences, personalized image capabilities, ability to post external links, viewable live show clips and more.

Since launch, zeebox has exceeded 5 million global downloads and generates a 30 minute average engagement time across users of its mobile app.

About zeebox?
zeebox is the new, social, interactive and immersive way to watch TV.

CareerBuilder Unveils Game-Changing Tablet Experience for Job Search With Insights on Other Candidates Who Applied for the Job You Want

New Research Shows  How Fast Mobile Job Search Is Growing, But Majority of Fortune 500 Are Not Mobile-Optimized

CHICAGO, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CareerBuilder just launched an exciting new experience for tablet users that is redefining mobile job search (tablet.careerbuilder.com).  The highly personalized and intuitive experience enables tablet users to not only discover jobs, but insights about other candidates who applied for them and a host of other cool features.

Thirty-nine percent of the U.S. population now uses a tablet(1) and more than 9 million workers search for jobs via mobile devices today.(2 )

Organized in simple tiles, CareerBuilder's new tablet search technology understands the job seeker's preferences and instantly provides more relevant information in a slick, visual way.  Key features include:

    --  When you pull up a job listing, you can instantly see how many other
        candidates have already applied.  You can also see in aggregate their
        education level and years of experience, what companies they worked for,
        schools they attended, etc.  You can assess how you stack up against the
        competition and if it's worth your time to apply.
    --  Job listings also have a unique GPS function that tells you how long
        your commute would be if you drove, walked, rode a bike or took public
        transportation.
    --  You can apply to jobs via your tablet with a resume stored on
        CareerBuilder in just two taps.
    --  When you're searching, you can choose from a host of company attributes
        that are important to you like company size, type of corporate culture,
        flexible schedules, whether it's a start up, etc.  This helps the
        technology learn the type of work experience you're looking for.
    --  You also have your own customized content section with featured
        companies and articles that most closely match your job search behavior
        and interests.
"Touch is the new frontier for job search," said Hope Gurion, Chief Product Officer for CareerBuilder.  "Tablet users expect to see jobs information in a visual way that reflects the visual approach of the overall Web.  CareerBuilder's tablet technology brings a whole new dimension to the search experience.  This is especially critical in a time when mobile job search is exploding and companies are missing out on talent because they're not mobile-optimized."

Why is it so important to provide this type of mobile job search experience?

Fact:  Mobile job search is growing at an accelerated rate.  According to comScore, 9.3 million workers searched for jobs via their mobile devices in March 2013, up from 2.3 million in March 2012.(2)  Google's data indicates that 31 percent of searches for "jobs" come from mobile devices.(3)

Fact:  The vast majority of companies don't have mobile-optimized career sites.  In a CareerBuilder study of the Fortune 500, the company found that only 99 of them (20 percent) had career sites with a mobile-friendly process to search for jobs.  Of that 99, only 14 of them had a mobile-friendly process to actually apply for jobs; 64 will let job seekers email the jobs to themselves to apply later.

Fact:  It's not uncommon to see mobile job applications that are ten pages long.  CareerBuilder recently audited a sample apply process for each of 686 different clients and found that the apply processes range from 1 to 22 pages in length.

5-plus pages: 348 (51 percent)

10-plus pages: 130 (19 percent)

15-plus pages: 16 (2.3 percent)

Mobile candidates drop off and often don't return to apply from a desktop later.  This is especially true of in-demand, high-skill job candidates who are currently employed.

Fact:  The number of U.S. tablet users more than tripled from 33.5 million in 2011 to 123.1 million in 2013, and is expected to grow to 168.1 million by 2016.(4)
