AVer Launches Digital Whiteboard with Live Interactive Video and more for the iPad in the Classroom with TabCam and TabSync

TabCam integrates a wireless camera and app that allows educators to record and share live video with audio, digital ink and photos via YouTube, Dropbox

TabSync synchronizes and charges up to 32 tablets simultaneously for under $2,000

FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AVer Information Inc., a leading provider of Visual Collaboration solutions, today announced the launch of two products - TabCam and TabSync - that maximize the iPad's potential in the classroom. AVer's new TabCam allows educators to create and present lessons that are interactive, dynamic and engaging while turning the lessons into video resources that students can revisit anywhere, anytime. TabSync is one of the most cost-effective solutions to easily charge, store and move iPads.

TabCam is the first solution that combines a lightweight and portable wireless camera with an iPad app that not only receives live video from the TabCam, but also allows educators to fully customize and record the video with digital ink, narration and photos to share with students or even the world. TabSync is the only under $2,000 sync and charge cart for 32 iPads with LED status indicators and dividers that fit almost any iPad case.

"From eTextbooks, apps and more, there is a fundamental difference today in how curriculum is being presented and understood, with iPads leading the way," says Kris Rangarajan, Marketing Director, AVer Information Inc. "The AVer TabCam solves a missing and critical element by allowing educators to transport their live classroom environment into their iPad lessons. From demonstrations, experiments, presentations and more, nothing is as simple as hitting record while performing, handwriting thoughts with digital ink and sharing instantly - perfect for the Flipped or Blended classroom."

TabCam is a completely wireless solution that communicates to its App via a standard 802.11 b/g/n WiFi access point. As long as TabCam and the iPad App are on the same network, the camera will push live video to the App from anywhere within the network no matter the distance. The App, available in the Apple App store:

    --  Displays and records live broadcasts wirelessly
    --  Enables educators to write notes and highlight key elements on an iPad
        screen during live video
    --  Includes an editable digital whiteboard from which users can flip
        back-and-forth to live video while recording the entire screen
    --  Allows instant sharing of the video via YouTube, Dropbox, Facebook and
        more
TabSync is a portable, easy-to-use cart that can simultaneously sync, charge, transport and securely store up to 32 iPads in padded, numbered slots. The .96" slot was designed specifically to fit almost any iPad case. Whenever an iPad is placed in a slot and connected to a dock connector cable, charging and synching begins. LED lights that correlate with the numbered slots indicate when an iPad is ready for use again. The cart has slot-in double doors with a 3 point latching mechanism along with a wall mount attachment for added security. It also features full 2.1 amp charging power from a single power cord as well as 3 outlets on top of the unit that's perfect to power a Mac, document camera and more.

OCHIN, Inc. acquires Oregon Health Network to align industry resources to continue to "walk the talk" of coordinated healthcare delivery

Organizational alignment will serve the needs of both parties' shared and expanding healthcare and healthcare education membership base with a scalable, integrated offering of products and services

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- OCHIN, a nonprofit national leader in quality health information technology, has just announced its acquisition of Oregon Health Network (OHN), a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the quality, access, and delivery of healthcare to all Oregonians. The two entities have determined that their complementary, mission-led organizations could better serve their respective missions and the combined needs of the healthcare and healthcare education community through this organizational alignment, which will become effective April 1, 2013.

"Our nation's healthcare landscape is in the midst of a massive redesign effort," stated Kim Lamb, OHN's executive director. "This reform effort requires that healthcare and healthcare education providers completely retool their business, care, and education model systems. The only way to achieve success in this environment is to have all members of the healthcare continuum--including the associations and service providers that support the healthcare provider community--streamline and simplify their efforts and offerings to ensure that every healthcare provider and community makes it to the finish line. Through this alignment, we will help them do just that."

Both organizations see a natural, innovative alignment of complementary operations and services to more effectively address the immediate needs of the providers, hospitals, patients, and healthcare educators who are shaping this new, coordinated care landscape. Their combined services offering includes:

    --  Health IT-related advocacy
    --  Connectivity
    --  Consulting
    --  Federal and state program funding, management, and administration
    --  Hosted services and solutions
    --  Research and innovation
    --  Thought leadership
"We are pleased to welcome Oregon Health Network to the OCHIN family," stated Abby Sears, OCHIN's CEO. "OHN's infrastructure and knowledgeable staff are a perfect complement to OCHIN's EHR, data analytics, quality, and clinical improvement expertise. Together, we will have an immediate impact on healthcare delivery and service."

Dr. Dick Gibson, chief healthcare intelligence officer with Providence Health & Services and founding OHN board chair said, "Since the inception of OHN, the organization's leadership and board have anticipated the future need to expand upon our existing service offering or possibly strategically align with other organizations to better serve the needs of our members. On behalf of the board, I am proud of the work and progress that the OHN staff, board, volunteer, and membership base have already achieved to date, and I look forward to the next stage in OHN's development."

Bob Marsalli, Montana Primary Care Association CEO and OCHIN board chair said, "It's time for change in our industry. Uniting forces and collaborating with healthcare and external partners will improve patient care and lower healthcare costs. I am proud of OCHIN and OHN for making this extraordinary alignment decision."

Sharp To Exhibit Full Suite of Professional Displays including Stunning Ultra-Large LED Displays for the Large-Format Digital Signage Market

Sharp continues to Go Big with the Industry's Largest 90" Class LED, big enough to showcase striking, life-size images in portrait view

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America, a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, is exhibiting its full line of professional LED displays, now available in screen size classes up to 90" (90-1/16" diagonal) at the 2013 Digital Signage Expo.  Visit the Sharp booth, #913, to see the new line of ultra-large format displays along with the world's slimmest ultra-high definition (3,840 x 2,160 pixel resolution) 32" class displays,high-impact video walls, AQUOS BOARD(TM) interactive display systems,and 20" class multi-touch interactive displays for counter-top or kiosk applications. 

The latest family of Sharp professional LED large-format displays, the PN-R series, is available in screen size classes of 90", 70", and 60", and features stunning clarity, outstanding energy efficiency and advanced connectivity.  The most impressive of the new series, the PN-R903 LED display, features a high-impact 90" class screen, big enough to showcase life-size images.  At 6' 8" tall, the new PN-R903 is the first professional LED display that can display people at real height in portrait view, making it an ideal fit for the fashion and retail industries. Large enough to seamlessly replace a 2x2 46" panel video wall, the PN-R903 offers easy set-up and installation, with much less wiring, computer support, and virtually no calibration requirements.

Another technological innovation being demonstrated at the show is Sharp's 32" class professional LCD monitor series which features Sharp's groundbreaking IGZO(TM) technology and touts 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution, commonly referred to as "4K2K".  Combining Sharp's IGZO technology with a brilliant white, edge lit LED backlight system, these state-of-the-art monitors measure only 35 millimeters at their thickest point (less than 1.5 inches), making them the industry's thinnest design in their class.(1)  The series consists of two models, one of which features 10-point multi-touch capability, designed for use with either fingers or the included stylus, only 2mm wide at its tip, for use where precision and accuracy are needed.

"Sharp has long been a leader in display technology, and our line of professional,  large-format displays and ultra-high definition products continue to deliver ground-breaking innovation and functionality," said Mike Marusic, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Solutions Group, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America.  "We're excited to be working with several companies on innovative usage of our display technology in real world applications that will virtually revolutionize the digital signage space."

At the show, Sharp will be demonstrating several unique retail applications at the "Sharp Boutique".  A virtual dressing room application being used by a well-known clothing boutique lets customers try on clothing, and while looking at what appears to be a large mirror, change the color of the apparel in real time.  Another similar application lets customers try on clothing with a delayed view, helping to solve the problem of how the fit looks from a 360 degree perspective.  Other applications include use of Sharp interactive displays as electronic concierges at a prominent worldwide hotel chain, in-store interactive countertop applications perfectly suited for the cosmetic and other retail industries, and video wall content designed for the 9/11 Museum as part of Sharp's proud sponsorship of this important project.  Many of these demonstrations are facilitated by the Sharp Technology Alliance Resource (STAR) Program that fosters collaboration between Sharp and other hardware and software vendors in the Digital Signage arena.

Windows Phone Wallet allows consumers to save and redeem coupons, keep airline information, movie tickets and other important information in one convenient space on their handset.

"This app and inclusion in Windows Phone Wallet continues to fulfill our promise to consumers - no matter where they are, or what device they are using - Valpak coupons will be there to help them save money," said Michael Vivio, president of Cox Target Media, provider of Valpak.

"Apps come to life on Windows Phone thanks to features like Live Tiles and integration with a secure mobile Wallet," said Todd Brix, general manager, Windows Phone Apps, Microsoft Corp. "Valpak takes advantage of all of these features to enable users to conveniently store and redeem coupons on the go."

With consumer usage of mobile apps growing significantly, Valpak continues to evolve and add enhancements.

In addition to helping consumers save money, the new app and Wallet integration also helps Valpak advertisers, offering yet another distribution platform and another way to get their business in front of consumers.

In addition, Valpak advertisers can take advantage of the Valpak Business Center, a new mobile and online coupon redemption tracking tool, which allows merchants to track coupon redemptions and usage, giving them a better understanding of their customers.

Razer Announces Edge March 1 Pre-Order

The Most Powerful Tablet in the World Will Ship in Late March

CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Razer(TM), the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, announced that its award-winning Razer Edge tablet will be available for pre-order on March 1, 2013, at 12:01 a.m. PST at http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-edge/wheretobuy.  Purchased units will be shipped to consumers later that month.

The most powerful tablet in the world is also already one of the most decorated of its kind, with the Razer Edge claiming eight awards at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including CNET's "Best of Show" award, where it beat more than 20,000 other products. In addition, the Edge was voted the "People's Voice" award recipient by fans, making this the third consecutive year that a Razer product earned that honor.

"The Razer Edge combines the features of full-functioning PCs, touch-enabled tablets and gaming consoles into one incredible, portable form factor," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "Furthermore, the Razer Edge's powerful chipset, unique among all tablet computers, ensures that you can take advantage of the world's most sophisticated games, programs and apps on these multiple platforms anytime."

PC gamers helped shape the Razer Edge by way of a massive crowdsourcing effort put into place by Razer, which targeted millions of gamers to help determine final specifications for the tablet.  Razer let its community decide the final chipset, weight, thickness, features and even price for the Edge, hosting the initiative on its social media pages, an unprecedented move for a hardware manufacturer.

The Razer Edge and its Intel i5 processor and 64 GB SSD, and the Razer Edge Pro with an Intel i7 processor and the option of a 128 GB or 256 GB SSD, will begin shipping this March. The gamepad controller, home console dock and extended battery accessories will be made available for pre-order and shipping concurrent with the Edge on March 1.  An optional keyboard dock is slated for launch later this year in Q3.

The all-in-one Razer Edge PC gaming solution starts at $999 and is available at http://www.razerzone.com.

About the Razer Edge:

It's a tablet. It's a PC. It's a console. It's all of the above: a full-feature PC and the most powerful tablet in the world. What's more, it has four modes specially designed for gamers and is able to run all PC games and applications.

PC gamers ended up helping to design the most powerful tablet in the world today, the only system of its kind utilizing technology from both Intel and NVIDIA. Powerful 3rd generation Intel® Core(TM) processors will help ensure even the most advanced, full-fledged PC games will function at full capacity, and NVIDIA GeForce graphics will offer striking visual clarity--a first for tablet gaming and a godsend for the world's 300 million-plus PC gamers.

Jardogs Advances Patient Engagement Platform with FollowMyHealth(TM) v1.5

Integrates with multiple EHRs; provides must-have solution for MU Stage 2

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jardogs, a leading provider of patient engagement and health management solutions, has announced the newest release of its flagship product, FollowMyHealth(TM) Universal Health Record.

FollowMyHealth is a patient engagement solution that combines the value of a personal health record, the power of a patient portal and the connectivity of a health information exchange (HIE). Functionality enhancements for FollowMyHealth version 1.5 lay the groundwork for upcoming Meaningful Use requirements, while markedly expanding patient usability and enhancing the user experience.

"Named 'most-used, best-of-breed portal' by KLAS*, FollowMyHealth is adding significant value to the healthcare delivery process by supplying a solution that exceeds the expectations of both the provider and the patient," said Jim Hewitt, CEO, Jardogs. "Patients overwhelmingly want the type of online access to their health information that FollowMyHealth provides. And with Meaningful Use rules requiring patient portals, providers and organizations are in dire need of a solution that integrates with disparate EHRs to produce one comprehensive health record."

Steve Badger, CEO, The George Washington Medical Faculty Associates added, "With FollowMyHealth, our patients now have a single point of access that lets them communicate and connect with our physicians - anywhere, anytime. It's this type of solution that differentiates us in the market so we can continually provide the technological solutions our patients have come to expect at GWU-Medical Faculty Associates."

FollowMyHealth empowers providers to engage patients so they can access and manage their health and wellness information in a secure, online environment. Accessible by any computer, smartphone or tablet, patients can easily view test results, communicate with physicians, request appointments and prescription refills, pay bills and complete forms prior to a visit - 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

Patients can also keep track of their fitness and well-being with online tools such as wireless scales, blood pressure devices and blood glucose monitors.

America's Largest Media Companies, the Partnership for a Healthier America, Let's Move!, MyPlate and Pinterest Join to Make Healthier Recipes Easy to Find and Share

Epicurious, Food Network, Hearst Magazines, Meredith and Time, Inc. are compiling and pinning thousands of recipes that align with USDA Guidance for Healthier Eating

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) Honorary Chair First Lady Michelle Obama announced today that five of the nation's largest media companies, as well as Pinterest, an online tool millions use to find the inspiration for their lives, joined PHA, Let's Move!, and USDA's MyPlate to make it easier for millions of people to put healthier meals on the table every day.

Epicurious, Food Network, Hearst Magazines, Meredith and Time Inc., through an agreement with PHA, are making available thousands of nutritious recipes that align with guidance that support USDA's MyPlate, and are labeling, compiling and promoting these recipes on their most popular cooking websites.

More than 3,000 recipes have been identified across 18 websites, and today nearly 1,000 of these recipes have been collected on a new Pinterest page associated with the effort, providing a one-stop-shop where parents, beginner home cooks and even the most experienced chefs can find and share healthier recipes.

"As a mom, I know how challenging it can be to think of new meal ideas that your kids will like and that will be good for them," said First Lady Michelle Obama. "This partnership takes the guess work out of finding healthy recipes and gives parents the information and the tools they need to make healthy choices for their families every day."

Over the next two years, partners will roll out 250 MyPlate-inspired recipes each month on individual brand websites as well as on the PHA MyPlate Pinterest page. Brands participating in the effort include:

    --  Allrecipes.com
    --  Better Homes & Gardens

"PHA's goal is always to make the healthy choice the easy choice for busy parents and families," said PHA CEO Larry Soler. "To do that, we have to meet home cooks where they are--and millions of them visit our partner sites as well as Pinterest every month to find tasty recipes. Compiling healthier recipes, making them easy to find and educating people about how they fit into a healthy, balanced meal is a great way to give parents and families the tools to help reverse this epidemic."

PHA's key partners in this effort include:

Let's Move!--First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let's Move! on February 9, 2010 to unite the country around our kids' health and create real support for families to live healthier lives.  Since then parents, business leaders, educators, elected officials, military leaders, chefs, physicians, athletes, childcare providers, community and faith leaders, and kids themselves have stepped up to improve the health of our nation's children.

USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP)--CNPP is the USDA agency tasked with developing the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) and promoting the guidelines to reach consumers of all ages through innovative guidance and resources supporting the MyPlate food icon at ChooseMyPlate.gov and through USDA's cutting edge SuperTracker. As subject matter advisors, CNPP will provide educational information for the effort as well as ensure that recipes being promoted and compiled align with the guidelines.

Epicurious has worked to promote Let's Move! since its inception, culminating in the first Healthy Lunchtime Challenge and Kids' State Dinner last August. The brand reaches more than 20 million cross-platform users each month across its website, app, and social media channels.

Delish, a partnership with MSN, celebrates the world of food, helping home cooks prepare easy, inventive family meals. It is the go-to source for recipes, menus, dinner ideas and cooking tips from trusted brands like Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, Woman's Day and more.

The Cyber Security LifeJourney(TM) Premieres at RSA 2013

New technology enables the nation's youth to test-drive careers in cyber security with leading cyber security companies

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeJourney(TM), the new online career-simulation platform that lets students and jobseekers test-drive careers in cyber security, premiered yesterday at the RSA Conference. LifeJourney(TM) enables leading cyber security companies to become role models for millions of students and others interested in understanding careers across the industry. Using the LifeJourney(TM) platform, companies can showcase their star talent and transform their technologies into virtual experiences, "field trips," that let someone live a day in the life of an actual cyber security professional. 

As hackers, spies, and cyber criminals steal technology, money, and innovation from United States government and commercial networks, creating and nurturing the rising cyber generation is key to securing America's future. "Cyber security is one of the most important missions in the US today. Building the cyber generation will require educators, government agencies and companies to align their education and workforce development efforts in innovative new ways," remarked Robert Rodriguez, Chairman of SINET. "Providing information isn't enough. We need to give students, returning veterans, and other jobseekers a way to engage with our industry. And we as cyber security leaders have a central role to play: it's up to all of us to lead."

There are now a total of fifty cyber security LifeJourneys(TM) available, each representing a cyber security career. A company can choose to represent an entire career, or it can use its products and specialized expertise to create field trips that bring important facets of the industry to life. There are hundreds of possible cyber field trips a company can present, showcasing fields and topics like digital forensics, advanced persistent threats, mobile application security, cloud security, reverse engineering, critical infrastructure protection, and many others. 

Karl Gumtow, CEO of CyberPoint, commented, "Inspiring students to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is key to the future of the cyber security industry. With the US ranking 27th in the world in STEM graduations, it's more important than ever that we accelerate our efforts to find solutions to the education and workforce development challenges we face today."

About LifeJourney(TM) for Cyber Security
LifeJourney(TM) is an online and mobile career simulation platform that helps students and jobseekers to find their passion, test-drive future career opportunities, and gain exposure to the skills they'll need to achieve their dreams. Connecting with mentors at America's top organizations, LifeJourney(TM) introduces millions of students to real world projects, critical missions, and practical skills.

IBS Group Member to Collaborate with Ford on an Open-Source Car Connectivity Standard

RAMSEY, the Isle of Man, February 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

            Please refer to relevant legal information at the end of the document

    IBS Group [http://www.ibsgr.com ], a leading software development and IT services
provider in Central and Eastern Europe, announces that Luxoft [http://www.luxoft.com ], a
member of the IBS Group and a global provider of advanced application and product
development services, will work with Ford to develop an open-source car connectivity
technology, called SmartPhoneLink. The new open standard will combine the features of
Ford's AppLink(TM) software with Luxoft's open-source iviLink as well as connectivity
solutions from other organizations willing to contribute their code.

    "Luxoft has been steadfastly committed to creation of an industry-wide open standard
for car connectivity and integration of mobile devices and apps," said Vasiliy Suvorov, VP
Technology Strategy at Luxoft. "The technology fragmentation that we currently see in the
market inhibits the growth of car connectivity solutions and limits amount of innovation
and creativity that app developers can bring. We see the decision by Ford to contribute
its market-leading AppLink technology to the developer community as an important milestone
toward a common connectivity standard. Luxoft will work with Ford to integrate the top
features of our open source iviLink technology into SmartPhoneLink and will focus on
helping to bring the new platform to automakers worldwide."

    iviLink is an open source technology developed specifically to facilitate bringing
apps into cars safely and efficiently. iviLink attracts a large developer community, thus
benefiting the industry with advanced applications and use cases. iviLink is an
API-centric open technology with a profile-based architecture that gives OEMs full control
over all features to guarantee safe operations. iviLink operates over any serial link such
as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and is designed to work with a wide variety of head units and
mobile devices.

    The GENIVI Alliance is leading the adoption of an open-source development platform for
in-vehicle infotainment. Luxoft is one of the key players in the GENIVI Alliance's effort
that is focused on developing standards for technologies dedicated to connectivity of
external consumer devices to a head unit. Along with other GENIVI members, Luxoft is
driving the creation of a Smart Device Connectivity solution that will combine the best
capabilities of iviLink and all other technologies under one roof. Such a standard will
usher in a new era of car compatible apps that will redefine the car experience for
drivers and passengers.

    Luxoft will work with Ford and the entire developer community to add such vital and
unique features of iviLink as symmetrical two-way app integration to the new standard.
After the new standard has been adopted by the industry, Luxoft plans to continue working
on developing new applications and adding capabilities to this open source technology,
which will further enrich the user experience. You can learn more about Luxoft's car
connectivity technology, iviLink, at http://www.ivilink.net.

Emulex Acquires 89 Percent Ownership Of Endace

Company Welcomes Endace Employees and Extends Offer by 14 Days to March 12, 2013

COSTA MESA, Calif. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Emulex Corporation (NYSE: ELX), the leader in network connectivity, monitoring, and management, and Endace Limited (LSE: EDA), a leading supplier of network visibility infrastructure products, announced today that Emulex has acquired control of Endace and beneficial ownership of 89 percent of the shares in Endace.  Emulex has also extended its offer period by 14 days, to 1 p.m. London time on March 12, 2013 for remaining shareholders to submit their shares to the Offer, and it is likely that Endace will shortly be de-listed from trading on the London Stock Exchange AIM.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE81278LOGO)

"I'm excited to welcome Mike Riley and the Endace team to Emulex," said Jim McCluney, chief executive officer (CEO) of Emulex. "The acquisition of Endace doubles our total addressable market and places Emulex in another high-margin, high-growth market, enhancing our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions to connect, monitor and manage high-performance networks."

Mike Riley, CEO of Endace, now senior vice president and general manager of Endace, a division of Emulex, said, "We are delighted to become a part of Emulex, and this marks the next step in our strategy to become the market leader in network visibility solutions. The combined capabilities and technical depth of Emulex and Endace will enable us to deliver true end-to-end network management, expand our global reach and better support our customers."

Emulex continues to urge Endace shareholders to submit share acceptances so that Emulex attains 100 percent ownership of Endace. Prior to 1 p.m. London time on February 26, 2013, Emulex declared the Offer wholly unconditional, and extended the offer period by 14 days in accordance with New Zealand law. Endace shareholders who submitted acceptances will be sent payment for their shares within seven days. Endace shareholders who submit shares as acceptances during the period of February 26 through March 12, 2013 will receive payment within seven days of receipt of their acceptances. Three directors selected by Emulex have joined the Endace board, and two of the previous directors of Endace have remained on the board. An application is being made to the London Stock Exchange to cancel the admission of the Endace shares on AIM, with such de-listing expected to become effective at 7 a.m. London time on March 27, 2013, in accordance with the AIM rules for 20 business days advance notice.

The receiving agent has reported that 195 acceptances have been received for a total of 13,629,988 shares, which is 89.55 percent of the 15,220,068 shares of Endace outstanding. The receiving agent reported that there are 27 non-acceptors who hold a total of 1,590,080 shares, which is 10.45 percent of the 15,220,068 shares of Endace outstanding. The largest non-acceptor is Elliott International, L.P, Liverpool Limited Partnership (Elliott), which owns 1,543,500 shares, which is 10.14 percent of the 15,220,068 shares of Endace outstanding. Elliott reported its ownership in a December 27, 2012 TR-1: Notification of Major Interest in Shares with the RNS, the company news service from the London Stock Exchange. The other 26 non-acceptors own an aggregate amount of 46,580 shares, which is 0.31 percent of the 15,220,068 shares of Endace outstanding.

The 89.55 percent of shares received by February 26, 2013 will be paid at the offer price of GBP 5.00 per share, for a total of GBP 68,149,940, which is equal to USD 107,413,766 at the reference exchange rate. The reference exchange rate of 0.6345 GBP per 1 USD is based on the actual rates obtained by Emulex for the currency conversion. The Endace employee stock options were purchased for GBP 4,555,929 which is equal to USD 7,180,777 at the reference exchange rate. If the remaining 10.45 percent of the Endace shares are submitted by the March 12, 2013 offer period end date, then an additional payment of GBP 7,950,400 will be made, which is equal to USD 12,530,934 at the reference exchange rate.

The Offer was made pursuant to the New Zealand Takeovers Code (NZTC), since Endace is a New Zealand company. The applicable NZTC rule requires, since Emulex declared the Offer unconditional, that Emulex provide its extension notice before the end of the offer period which had been set for 1 p.m. London time on February 26, 2013. The offer period has been varied to be until 1 p.m. London time on March 12, 2013 (unless extended further in accordance with the NZTC). The applicable NZTC rule provides that the Offer must remain open for at least 14 days after a variation notice has been sent. NZTC Rule 3(1) provides that a code company has 50 or more shareholders, and many of the NZTC rules apply only to such a code company, and after February 26, 2013 Endace has ceased to be a code company since its number of shareholders has become 28.

A copy of Emulex's Offer, Endace's response (including the Endace Board recommendation), and the Independent Adviser's report prepared by Grant Samuel for Endace was sent to Endace shareholders and optionholders. Copies of those documents are available from the Endace web site (http://www.endace.com), and from the Emulex web site through the Emulex Form 8-K filed on December 21, 2012.

"Safe Harbor" Statement
"Safe Harbor'' Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above, including, without limitation, those relating to our acquisition of Endace Limited (Endace), contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or changes to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. We wish to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the possibility that we may not promptly complete the acquisition of Endace, may not obtain 100 percent ownership of Endace, may not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Endace on a timely basis or at all, and may be unable to integrate the technology, operations and personnel of Endace into our existing operations in a timely and efficient manner.  In addition, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require us to indemnify customers, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, we have in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. We cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, risk of loss of patent rights, risk of monetary damages, risk of injunction against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the continuing Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the adequacy of any sunset period to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes) modules, and the ability to obtain a settlement which does not put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage market segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Continued weakness in domestic and worldwide macro-economic conditions, related disruptions in world credit and equity markets, and the resulting economic uncertainty for our customers, as well as the storage and converged networking market as a whole, has and could continue to adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to predict our future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: faster than anticipated declines in the storage networking market, slower than expected growth of the converged networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of our products or our OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the server and storage technology markets; the variability in the level of our backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of our customers; any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire us; proxy contests or the activities of activist investors; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities, natural disasters, and any resulting disruption in our supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in our business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; possible transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our ability to benefit from our research and development activities; our dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and any resulting regulatory changes on our business. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, under the caption "Risk Factors."

Threats Neutralized Here: Narus and Teradata Enhance Offerings for Cyber Defense

Leaders in big data cyber analytics and the world's smartest database for analytics enhance cyber security solutions

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Moscone Center, 2013 RSA Security Conference -- It started out as a low-level DDoS(1) alert on the network of a government agency, but turned out to be a systematic DNS(2) enumeration originating from a botnet(3). Another government body discovered multiple infrastructure policy violations, including unauthorized equipment and applications connected to and running on their networks. This is one of countless surreptitious security breaches that newly enhanced Narus and Teradata cyber security analytics quickly help clients detect and neutralize.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120412/CL86658LOGO)

Narus, Inc., a leader in big data cyber analytics for cyber security solutions, and Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the database analytics company, today announced enhancements to their cyber intelligence alliance offering. Narus announced its nSystem solution that applies automated machine learning to process 100 percent of network packets to discover, analyze and understand every interaction on a network. nSystem develops rich profiles of every interaction to provide deeper context for faster, more accurate awareness. These capabilities are tailored to the needs of organizations seeking high-performance, machine-learning cyber security solutions that provide the visibility, control and content required to protect critical assets.

"Networks continue to increase in complexity and capacity, challenging organizations to keep their systems fully operational and secure," said Sam Harris, Director, Enterprise Risk Management, Teradata. "The shift to laptops and mobile devices has blurred the borders of networks; rapid proliferation of polymorphic malware has tested the effectiveness of static, signature-based protection; and the continuing swell in network traffic has slowed forensic analysis while driving storage costs skyward. Traditional network security tools alone no longer suffice to maintain acceptable levels of security and operational effectiveness. Narus nSystem in conjunction with Teradata creates a new paradigm for cyber defense technology."

Harris added that the offering with Narus can leverage Teradata's new Unified Data Architecture(TM), which uses the complementary value of best-in-class technologies from Teradata, Teradata Aster and open source Apache(TM) Hadoop, to enable users to ask any question, against any data, with any analytic, at any time.

"Teradata provides a single, comprehensive, authoritative environment that integrates information security, cyber security data infrastructure, analytics and reporting," Harris said. "Integration of data gives the chief information security officer deeper, broader visibility to all of the essential material for cyber analysis - at near-real-time speed.  This results in better, faster, actionable security information - shrinking the time from detection to remediation - from days and weeks to hours or minutes. Cyber warfare specialists can more proactively defend and protect their complex networks."

"In today's hyper-connected world, massive amounts of data enter and leave enterprises at lightning speed," said Prakash Nagpal, senior vice president of product management and marketing, Narus. "Narus' leading big data cyber analytics solutions running on Teradata delivers the technology needed to implement cyber security strategies to address the threats of tomorrow."

Today's announcement was made at the RSA Conference, the world's leading information security conference and exposition, where Teradata and Narus are available for meetings in booth #1841.

Elektrobit (EB) Provides Platform For Next Generation High-end Infotainment Systems With Renesas Electronics

The cooperation between Elektrobit and Renesas Electronics will enable car manufacturers to create future HMI platforms cost effectively

ERLANGEN, Germany, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The runtime solution of Elektrobit's (EB) development platform for human machine interfaces (HMIs), EB GUIDE Graphic Target Framework (GTF), has been ported to the Renesas Electronics Corporation (Renesas) R-Car H1. This is the latest member of the R-Car series of automotive systems-on-chip (SoCs).

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121015/DE92272LOGO )

The collaboration will enable car manufacturers to use the high-end Renesas chip in combination with the EB GUIDE GTF to utilize the advanced graphical capabilities of the SoC. Carmakers will benefit by a huge acceleration in development processes and will also be able to create cost effective prototypes of future HMI platforms.

Masayasu Yoshida, senior manager of Automotive Information Systems Solution Department, Renesas Electronics Corporation said, "This powerful combination of one of the industry's most comprehensive solutions for the development of multimodal infotainment systems and a leading SoC platform that offers one of the best graphical performances in the embedded market will be a decisive driver for future development."

Benefits for carmakers and suppliers
The R-Car H1 SoC by Renesas, the leading supplier of semiconductors in the automotive sector, is particularly dedicated to high performance multimedia radio navigation head units. The integrated GPU (graphic processing unit) is suitable for demanding 3-D graphics applications and offers one of the best graphical performances in the embedded market. Now carmakers are able to use the high-end Renesas SoC with the EB GUIDE GTF for the early prototyping stage of instrument clusters, infotainment systems and navigation systems.

Thanks to the cooperation with EB, carmakers can estimate the R-Car H1's performance in early development stages. Moreover they can save costs and time to build a prototyping environment due to the off-the-shelf GTF porting. This means, they have immediate access to state-of-the-art technology for HMI development and can try out and evaluate their solutions through the specification process to the implementation process. Existing and future EB GUIDE users are free to concentrate entirely on their key area of expertise, the development of their own HMIs.

'Renesas' R-Car H1 SoC offers one of the most complete system integrations available in today's market.

SunGard Availability Services, Alert Logic Present Managed Web Application Firewall at the RSA Security Conference

New service addresses growing security and risk concerns presented by web-based business applications

WAYNE, Pa., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SunGard Availability Services, the leading provider of information availability and business continuity services, and Alert Logic, a leading provider of Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for the cloud, are expanding their technology partnership to offer a new service: Managed Web Application Firewall (WAF) Service. SunGard Availability Services will present its approach to comprehensive security protection and compliance in Alert Logic's booth at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco this week (booth 2417).

As organizations continue to embrace the use of web-based and hosted applications to conduct business, the amount of risk associated with protecting corporate data continues to increase. In response to its customers, Alert Logic partnered with SunGard Availability services to provide a fully managed service that addresses the growing security, risk and compliance concerns that are prevalent amongst businesses today. 

The solution, Managed WAF Service supported by Alert Logic's Web Security Manager application, ensures higher security for customers who are becoming more dependent on a web-based business model. Web-based applications offer many benefits for businesses such as lowering expenses and operating costs; however, these applications also increase risk as web-based attacks are one of the leading causes of breaches today.

"Trends such as BYOD and the movement to web-based applications reinforce the fact that corporate data and users no longer stay within a company network to conduct business," said Cara Camping, Managed Security Services Product Manager, SunGard Availability Services. "Perimeter security, or security from the firewall internally, is no longer sufficient for effective protection. The movement to web-based applications draws attention to the need for tighter security and protection of corporate data."

"Through the integration of a managed WAF, our customers are able to mitigate their risks against the growing use of web-based applications while addressing their compliance requirements, for example, PCI DSS," said Dave Colesante, CTO and SVP of Product Development, Alert Logic. "Customers get the benefit of Alert Logic's advanced security technologies with the seamless delivery of Managed WAF Services provided by SunGard Availability Services."

Tufin Survey Reveals the Number One Use Case for Firewall Management is to Ensure Secure Application Connectivity

Tufin Survey Reveals the Number One Use Case for Firewall Management is to Ensure Secure Application Connectivity

93.6 Percent of All Firewall Change Requests are Application-related; 70% of Respondents Report Application Service Disruptions up to 20 Times Per Year Due to Configuration Changes

RSA CONFERENCE 2013, RAMAT GAN, Israel and  SAN FRANCISCO, February 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Tufin Technologies, the market-leading provider of Security Policy Management
solutions [http://www.tufin.com ], today announced the results of its annual Firewall
Management Survey [https://www.tufin.com/firewall_survey_report_2012.pdf ]. 200 network
security professionals reported that 93.6 percent of all firewall change requests are
application-related, validating that the function of firewalls has evolved to include
secure application connectivity, in addition to their traditional role of perimeter
security. Tufin has addressed this shift with the 2012 launch of SecureApp
[https://www.tufin.com/media/98801/Tufin SecureApp Data Sheet_en.pdf ] to the Tufin
Security Suite (TSS), its award winning Security Policy Management solution. In a separate
announcement, also issued today, Tufin announced a new release of TSS, version R13-1
[https://www.tufin.com/about-us/news-and-media/press-releases/2013/ february-25,-2013 ].

    "Shortly after launching SecureApp, we were approached by IT leaders interested in
learning how SecureApp could help improve application uptime and availability," said Ruvi
Kitov, CEO of Tufin. "This year's survey results validate what our customers have been
saying: that firewall management plays an increasingly significant role in maintaining
availability and uptime, but the basics need to be in place. Regular audits and efficient
change management processes are the cornerstone of effective firewall management. The fact
that many organizations audit their firewalls only once a year and some never audit their
firewalls needs to change."

    According to the respondents (200 IT experts from around the globe), there is still
plenty of room for improvement when it comes to firewall management fundamentals:

       
        - Almost half of respondents audit their firewalls only once a year and 15%
          never audit their firewalls; 50% spend up to a week or more per quarter on firewall
          audits.
        - Almost 1/5 reported they knew of someone who cheated on an audit because they
          either felt the audit was a waste of time (39.3%) or they did not have enough
          time/resources (35.6%).
        - Almost 1/5 of the sample has no idea how current their firewall policy is.
        - 40% have no way to know when a rule needs to be expired or recertified.
        - 30% never test configuration changes before they are implemented.
        - Half of the sample has to redo more than 25% of all network security changes
          because they do not meet design requirements.

    While survey data indicates firewalls are becoming increasingly relevant outside of
their established function in security operations, their role has expanded - not shifted.
Clearly, firewall management processes can have a significant impact on an organization's
risk posture:

       
        - 62.4% either believe or are not sure if their change management processes
          puts them at risk to be breached.
        - 54.7% state their application connectivity management processes could or might
          create unnecessary IT risk; about 1/3 make 100 or more application related firewall
          changes per month.
        - 41.5% of those sampled track application connectivity changes via comments in
          the firewall rule base, almost 1/6 don't track these changes at all.
        - 46.9% report they might have or did have a breach due to an application
          related rule change.
        - 70% of respondents report application service disruptions up to 20 times per
          year due to configuration changes.
        - 60% or respondents were asked to make a change against their better judgment.
        - 1/3 of respondents report that much of their security budgets are spent on
          items that don't improve security; 1/3 had no idea how well their security budgets
          were spent.

    "The role firewalls play in managing application connectivity is both a cause and
effect of sweeping trends in enterprise IT; understanding this enabled us to automate the
right set of organizational processes between the right set of stakeholders," said Mr.
Kitov. "SecureApp customers, such as SIX Group, have already reported dramatic
improvements in application connectivity-related change management processes. TSS R13-1
features additional automation that reduces the time spent by organizations on firewall
audits to a few hours per quarter. We will continue to conduct this survey every year to
ensure our roadmap is aligned with our customers' shifting business requirements."

Trinity Pharma's AgileM Delivers the First Mobile Analytics Solution for Life Sciences

Posted on February 26, 2013 at 9:21:01 AM
Trinity Pharma's AgileM Delivers the First Mobile Analytics Solution for Life Sciences

The demand for analytics spikes as mobile adoption in pharma increases by 220 percent in two years

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile analytics with real-time insights have finally come to the life sciences industry. Today, Trinity Pharma released AgileM, the first mobile analytics platform designed specifically for life science companies. Coupled with Trinity's cloud-based master data management solution, AgileM enables users to make tactical and strategic decisions grounded in data - anytime, anywhere. Developed in HTML5, AgileM represents an intuitive and guided analytic experience for the data consumer across multiple mobile and web-enabled devices. AgileM is the first and only application that brings real value to the industry's massive investment in mobile technology.

The life sciences industry relies on an abundance of data; however, it has historically been plagued by rigid, complex data warehouses and generic business intelligence solutions. The limitations of these traditional systems are amplified as the amount of data, cost pressures and demand for mobile analytics increase exponentially. Life science companies need a new and better way of managing and consuming big data in today's dynamic business environment with its increasingly mobile-enabled workforce. AgileM directly answers those challenges.

"We looked at mobile as an opportunity to rethink the way information is consumed and delivered. Trinity is shaping the future of analytics and our goal was to create a solution that offered more than just reporting because ultimately users want insights," said Zackary King, co-founder of Trinity. "AgileM provides our customers with richer and more intuitive analytics on their mobile devices while driving increased performance, lowering costs and improving engagement - all while simultaneously leveraging the incredible potential of the cloud."

Trinity has seen a 220 percent increase in mobile adoption over the past two years from its customers, highlighting the need for a new mobile analytics tool in the life sciences industry. AgileM is unique in that it presents large amounts of data as an "analytic story" on your tablet, providing insights and answering questions specific to each user's role - from field teams to C-suite executives. With a first-of-its-kind interface, the solution delivers critical data surrounding opportunities, performance management, market dynamics and customer targeting in a way that is both easy to understand and leverage on the go. Delivered as a cloud solution, AgileM is simple and fast to deploy - meant for field sales teams and home office users alike - enabling life science companies to realize the benefits of mobile analytics immediately and with little risk.

Some of the key features of AgileM include:

    --  The First HTML5 Mobile Analytics App for Life Sciences
        --  The only mobile app that delivers integrated performance analytics
            to any device (iPad, Nexus, Surface, etc.).
        --  Device portability and rapid deployment to thousands of field,
            mobile, home office and executive users.
        --  Enterprise security integration with single sign-on.
    --  All-in-one Mobile Information Portal
        --  Analytics and insights accessible in one easy place on any device -
            anywhere, anytime.
        --  Unique consumer-friendly interface that makes data exploration easy,
            drives user adoption and reduces training.
        --  Cloud or on-premise deployment options with online and offline
            capability.
    --  Superior UI/UX with Guided Insights
        --  Guided user experience tailored specifically to each consumer -
            their role, goals and objectives.
        --  Users are taken through an "analytic story" that delivers actionable
            insights, making it easy and intuitive to consume large amounts of
            information.
        --  Designed for the entire commercial organization from field sales
            teams to business analytics to management.
"Consistent with industry trends, we have seen 100 percent of our clients make significant investments in the deployment of their mobile strategies. Before today, options for mobile analytics were limited to industry-agnostic BI tools that simply failed to provide value and required significant costs and resources to deploy and manage," said Brian Irwin, VP of business strategy for Trinity. "AgileM is unique - an analytic solution developed by life science professionals for life sciences. Nearly all of our clients are moving to AgileM with overwhelmingly positive feedback."

"AgileM allowed us to realize immediate value in our mobile strategy. Not only did AgileM's cloud-based model offer an easy, quick and cost-effective rollout, its powerful, personalized and easy-to-use mobile interface were an important part of our recent product launch. AgileM presents analytics in a refreshing way, unlike any other analytics platform we'd considered," said Steven Querol, senior national sales director at ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

"Finding a way to make insights truly actionable at the field level has always been a challenge for life science organizations," said Mark Cieplik, senior life sciences executive and former senior vice president at Cegedim. "Trinity's AgileM addresses that challenge. Importantly, it's delivered via popular mobile devices like the iPad, which reps really use.  Trinity's AgileM has set the bar high in the area of delivering meaningful insights that life science reps and the home office can use to improve sales performance."

About Trinity Pharma:

Trinity is the leader in cloud-based data and analytic solutions for the global life sciences industry. Founded with a simple and powerful vision, Trinity turns big data into easy-to-use insights that drive performance across the enterprise.

Shutl Sets up Shop in North America to Help "Clicks and Mortar" Retailers Take on Amazon with Same Hour Delivery

Steven Chien joins as VP & GM of North America

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutl, the leader in same-hour and same-day ecommerce delivery, today announces the official launch of its North American operation.  Shutl's service goes live next month in New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago, and will roll out to seventeen additional metros in the coming months.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130226/NE66344LOGO)

Shutl is a branded same-day delivery option enabling multi-channel (aka, "clicks and mortar") retailers to offer delivery of online orders either within minutes of purchase or within a convenient one-hour window of choice.  The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, typically costing less than $10 per order, and is often offered free.  A third of Shutl's orders are delivered within an hour, with the fastest ecommerce delivery to date recorded at just 14 minutes and 58 seconds.

Shutl's point-to-point delivery model is the only one of its kind to have been proven at scale, having operated to much acclaim throughout the U.K. for the last three years, where Shutl works with many of the country's leading retailers. Today, Shutl has thousands of subcontracted couriers on its platform who are completing tens of thousands of deliveries every day.

As a part of the launch, Steven Chien joins Shutl as Vice President & General Manager of North America. Steven will draw from a rich background in ecommerce including positions as COO at social shopping site Kaboodle and VP of Business Development for price comparison shopping engine Nextag. Steven will focus on spearheading continued growth and momentum of Shutl out of its North American headquarters in San Francisco. 

"The ecommerce industry is about to take another giant step forward with the launch of Shutl's innovative delivery solution. I'm thrilled to be joining Shutl - there is a clear, growing need for consumer-centric options and Shutl will meet this," comments Steven Chien. "Shutl will be a great partner for those multi-channel retailers looking to better compete with Amazon and provide new ways to delight their customers."

Once Shutl completes its rollout in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, it will continue into Phase II of the launch, expanding to Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Tampa, Dallas, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Washington, Montreal, and Toronto. This aggressive launch was primed by last year's announcement of Shutl securing over $6 million in funding from investors including UPS, e.ventures and Notion Capital to accelerate North American plans. 

"We shop online because it is fast and convenient--two things that delivery is not,'" says Tom Allason, CEO and Founder, Shutl. "Shutl is bringing delivery up to speed by giving shoppers what they want, when they want it."

Social Studios Unveils "Your Show" -- Turns Your Facebook Newsfeed into a TV Show Hosted by Actress and Producer, Noa Tishby

Announces $700,000 in seed funding; adds Joanna Drake Earl to Board of Directors

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Social Studios (http://www.socialstudios.tv) today unveiled "Your Show", a new beta Facebook app which automatically produces a fun, personal daily TV show from your Facebook newsfeed. Hollywood actress and producer, Noa Tishby, is an advisor to Social Studios and host of Your Show.  Social Studios also announced today that it has raised $700,000 in seed funding to-date, and that Joanna Drake Earl, who formerly held COO positions at ngmoco:) and Current TV, has joined its board of directors.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130226/SF66550)

Recognizing how time-consuming it can be for people to scroll through their social newsfeed to find posts they really want from their friends and brand pages they "like", Social Studios' founders drew on their TV and Internet backgrounds to bring social media to life in an entirely new way.

"Your Show is like 'Entertainment Tonight' meets Facebook", said Anat Amibar, CEO, Social Studios. "It's a show starring you and your friends, produced from your Facebook feed," she said. "There's a brewing fight for domination on the big screen in the living room and social media companies, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have not yet delivered a compelling video experience. We aim to solve this by creating the first ever social media TV shows," said Amibar.

How it Works
Your Show takes your Facebook newsfeed and produces a fun, personal TV show that includes items like Top Videos, Top Status Awards and birthdays. By looking at things like location check-ins and tags on photographs, Social Studios' algorithms can determine which posts people will care most about based on who they spend time with in real life and on Facebook. Each show is a few minutes long and completely personal, bringing Facebook pages to life for a new "lean-back" experience.

"As a producer and an actress, I always keep my eye on the next wave of innovation," said Noa Tishby, Social Studios' advisor and host of Your Show. "The Social Studios team has created a brand new way to enjoy Facebook using a TV-like format. In my view, this is just the beginning of a new kind of reality TV and I'm excited to be a part of it," said Tishby.

Join our public beta by using Google Chrome and clicking here:https://apps.facebook.com/yourshow.

Watch a demo of Your Show here, or see Social Studios' CEO, Anat Amibar, provide an overview of Social Studios and Your Show here.

About Social Studios:
Social Studios was founded by TV and Internet executives who have worked at companies including Google/YouTube and Yahoo!. Realizing that social media platforms have yet to deliver a TV experience viewers want to watch, they saw an opportunity to produce engaging, personalized TV shows from social media newsfeeds. Social Studio's first show, a Facebook app called Your Show, quickly identifies posts from your close friends and favorite brand pages and automatically turns them into a show starring you and your friends. The first of its kind, the fun daily TV show is presented by Noa Tishby, well-known actress and Hollywood producer.  To-date, Social Studios has raised $700,000 in angel funding.

Commtouch Q4 Internet Threats Trend Report Shows Exponential Increase in Android Malware

Commtouch Q4 Internet Threats Trend Report Shows Exponential Increase in Android Malware

Commtouch's Internet Threat Analysis Team analyses current trends regarding spam, malware, Web and mobile security

MCLEAN, Virginia and SAN FRANCISCO, February 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Android malware and Web threats targeting mobile users have exponentially increased
during the fourth quarter of 2012, according to the February 2013 Internet Threats Trend
Report issued by Commtouch(R) (NASDAQ: CTCH), a leading provider of Internet security
technology and cloud-based services.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120501/529254 )

    The report shows that Android malware levels increased more than five-fold between
September and December 2012. In December, Commtouch's lab collected more than 214,000
samples of Android malware, compared to approximately 41,000 in September. In July, the
number was still as low as 14,000 samples. Additionally, Commtouch researchers also
observed a significant increase in email-borne malware during the fourth quarter of 2012.

    India remained the number one hotspot for spam-sending zombies in the fourth quarter.
With a share of 17.5 percent, India fell below the 20 percent mark but remained ahead of
China (9.5 percent) and Vietnam (8.0 percent). Asia remained the dominating region in this
list with Pakistan (fifth place), Iran (sixth) and Kazakhstan (tenth) also being among the
top ten. The United States came in eighth place with a share of 2.7 percent.

    In Web security, education-related sites topped the list of sites most frequently
compromised with malware or hiding phishing and spam sites. For example, during the fourth
quarter, Harvard University's Department of Government Web site was hacked and used to
host a pharmacy page. Other Web site categories particularly vulnerable to being
manipulated were travel, sports, business and entertainment sites.

    Spam levels remained fairly constant with the expected drop around the Christmas and
New Year period. The average daily spam level was 90 billion messages per day - a slight
increase over the third quarter of 2012. The lowest level was 52 billion recorded on the
last day of 2012 and the highest was an unusual spike of 134 billion at the start of
December. Spam averaged between 71 and 80 percent of all emails sent globally during the
fourth quarter of 2012.

    "Android is by far the most popular mobile operating system in the world today, with a
market share of more than 75 percent in the third quarter, according to industry
analysts," said Avi Turiel, director of threat research and market analysis at Commtouch.
"Its popularity makes it a natural target for cybercriminals of all kinds. The alarming

Intacct Cloud Financial Applications Provide Foundation for Expansion at IslandWood

Intacct Cloud Financial Applications Provide Foundation for Expansion at IslandWood

Educational Nonprofit Automates Financial Processes and Gains Faster Operational Insight by Switching to Intacct

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Intacct, a leader in cloud financial management and accounting software, today announced that IslandWood has replaced a combination of Blackbaud and QuickBooks with a single Intacct solution to more quickly gain key financial insights into the health of its organization. Moving to Intacct increased accounting efficiencies, saving the organization about 35 person-hours of work each month while reducing human error, increasing financial and operational visibility, and eliminating IT support needs.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120123/SF39551LOGO)

Located on Bainbridge Island near Seattle, IslandWood is an outdoor learning center that serves around 12,000 school children each year throughout the Puget Sound region to inspire lifelong environmental and community stewardship. After ten years in operation, the organization is planning major expansion over the next five years and recognized an opportunity to replace its cumbersome packaged accounting software with a pure cloud-based financial management system for greater transparency. With a planned $5 million budget increase and four new strategic initiatives underway, IslandWood knew that it needed greater flexibility to manage a broader range of donors, as well as remote access to keep up with the pace of several new off-site programs.

"We chose Intacct over several other vendors because it delivers everything we need to efficiently run our organization in a reliable, easy to access cloud solution," said Jennifer Sharp, senior accounting manager at IslandWood. "With Intacct, we saw a system that would streamline our financial processes and give a wide variety of people in our organization real-time visibility into key financial metrics from anywhere. We also love the seamless, feature-rich upgrades that happen transparently without any IT effort on our part."

IslandWood has radically improved its financial and operational visibility with Intacct. Instead of wasting time and compromising data integrity by exporting data to external systems, IslandWood counts on Intacct to handle all of its reporting needs. In addition to using Intacct's pre-built library of more than 150 reports, including nonprofit-specific financial management reports and FASB and IRS compliant financial statements, IslandWood created custom reports that leverage Intacct's multidimensional general ledger to track key operational metrics, improve fund and grant management, and streamline expense tracking.

"I no longer need to run reports off of our Blackbaud system and then spend half a day reentering that same data into a specific Excel format for our Board's finance committee meetings," commented Sharp. "Now, I use my custom reports in Intacct to give our CEO and senior vice presidents a consistent, real-time view of our financial data, from high-level summaries of funding information and budgets, down to individual contributions and program expenses. In addition, Intacct's ability to tag specific projects, grants or special event expenses, and then track and report on them by fund makes it easily adaptable to the specialized needs of a nonprofit like us."

Moving to Intacct's modern financial applications has also enabled IslandWood to significantly improve day-to-day productivity by automating all of its financial processes, such as invoicing, accounts receivables, credit card reconciliation, accounts payables, and reporting. For example, IslandWood previously entered all school and customer invoices into QuickBooks, and then had to wait until the end of the month to put summary entries in Blackbaud. With Intacct, IslandWood now enters this information once and has real-time, accurate sales and receivables data in one place.

For accounts payables, IslandWood imports purchases from seven credit card cardholders into Intacct, and the application automatically reconciles transactions and provides easy-to-use drill down capabilities. This is a huge improvement over the organization's previous process of entering credit card transactions into an Excel spreadsheet first and then again into its General Ledger.

Using Intacct's seamless integration with Salesforce CRM, IslandWood has also streamlined its entire sales cycle - from quotes to invoices to payment processing. The tight connection between these two best-in-class systems eliminates manual data re-entry via an automated, integrated quote-to-cash process, and gives each member of IslandWood's sales and finance teams the information they need - where and when they need it.

In total, Intacct's automated processes have enabled the organization's accounting staff to eliminate duplicate data entry and save around 20 hours of work per month, allowing it to take over payroll processing from the human resources manager and in turn save her an additional two full days of work each month. The improved processes have also reduced the time it takes to consolidate and close its books - shaving off at least two days of the process each month.

"The process improvements we've achieved by moving to Intacct have been better than we could have imagined and are extremely valuable to our organization," added Sharp. "Not only has Intacct's solution delivered huge time savings for us, the Intacct team has been a pleasure to work with - acting as a trusted partner every step of the way."
