First Mobile Platform for Transmedia Storytelling

First Mobile Platform for Transmedia Storytelling
New mobile app with cloud-based authoring system allows creators of cross-platform experiences to launch faster & cheaper than custom-built approach.
LONDON, May 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LAUNCHING TODAY is a mobile app that allows audiences to immerse themselves in stories that blur the boundaries of fiction and reality and digital life and real life.
CONDUCTTR MOBILE is part of a transmedia storytelling ecosystem that provides brands, agencies, publishers, film studios and educators with an end-to-end audience engagement solution. It allows audiences to discover new "Worlds", access exclusive content, gain achievements, compete and socialize with others, track progress and manage their own contact data. Transmedia storytellers benefit immediately by not having to develop this functionality themselves and can therefore connect to audiences sooner and at significantly lower cost.
The Conducttr ecosystem has three parts:
-- a cloud-based network intelligence for narrative designers
-- an API for developers
-- and a mobile app for audiences
Stories & games written with Conducttr are told across social media, email, text messaging and any platform that uses the Conducttr API - such as a social or console game, forum, ebook and so on. Often audiences need not be aware of Conducttr because it works as an unseen intelligence orchestrating a personalized, connected experience across platforms. With the mobile app, transmedia storytellers make a direct connection to their audiences.
Robert Pratten (CEO, Transmedia Storyteller Ltd) launching the app during a keynote presentation to the Transmedia Living Lab in Madrid, Spain said:
"We continue to lower the technical and cost barriers for transmedia storytellers who want to explore new ways of engaging audiences. For stories and experiences hosted by Conducttr in the cloud, the optional use of Conducttr Mobile provides audiences with heightened experience through familiar game-based mechanics such as unlocking exclusive content and gaining XP and achievements for engaging with the storyworld."
Launched today on Conducttr Mobile are:
-- Roswell Amulet, a location-based scavenger hunt for the Roswell Film
Festival and ComicCon 2012
-- Psychophol, a Twitter and email-based interactive story for the movie
The Mask of the Red Death
-- Lowlifes, the webseries, novella and blog with murder-mystery game
-- Rock Science, a location-based music quiz game from Sweden
Conducttr mobile app is available to demo for free via http://www.conducttr.com

DLD Introduces the Future Market of Russia

DLD Introduces the Future Market of Russia
MUNICH, May 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
"Over 50 million Russians use the internet, making the country a dynamic digital and
consumer market. That's why DLD now offers international investors, companies and experts
direct insights and networking opportunities in the Russian digital world," explain Steffi
Czerny and Marcel Reichart, founder and Managing Director of DLD.
Numerous founders and management boards of leading Russian digital companies -
including Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of the Russian search engine group Yandex, Pavel
Durov, founder and CEO of the Russian social network VKontakte, Dmitry Grishin, CEO of the
Russian stock market-listed internet company Mail.ru, Maelle Gavet, CEO of the e-commerce
platform Ozon.ru and Oskar Hartmann, founder and CEO of the private shopping platform
KupiVIP, are represented as speakers at DLD Moscow in the "Digital October Center". In
addition, entrepreneurs, creative people and experts from the international DLD community,
including the Italian designer Lapo Elkann, Matt Michelsen from Lady Gaga's
littlemonsters.com or the Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima will also be speaking. On the
political side of things, Arkady Dvorkovich, the newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister of
Russia, as well as the foreign affairs speaker of the German CDU political party Philipp
Missfelder will be participating.
Furthermore, international digital entrepreneurs like Xing and HackFwd founder Lars
Hinrich and international experts like Ludwig Siegele (The Economist) will attend the
event. McKinsey will introduce a new study discussing economic digital management in an
international comparison. In addition, a range of Russian, Israeli, European and American
digital start-ups will present their business models and concepts in the fields of
fashion, education and gaming.
At the conference, as is standard at Digital-Life-Design, exchanges beyond the podium
will also play an essential role. The first conference in Russia promises more than 500
expected guests, half of whom are from abroad, exciting insights and the potential to make
business contacts in the important capital and various technology locations.
The "Digital October Center", a former chocolate factory opposite the Kremlin, has
become a highly modernised center which specialises in new technologies and
entrepreneurship. The host of DLD Moscow is the Skolkovo Foundation, which provides
numerous contributions to the digital and technological promotion of innovations in
Russia. In 2010, the Skolkovo Foundation, directed by the Russian entrepreneur Viktor
Vekselberg, was created in order to accompany the development of the science and
innovation centre.
Local companies in particular are among the most significant accelerators of growth in
digital Russia. The search engine operator Yandex, for example, founded in 2000 by Arkady
Volozh, is the obvious market leader with over 60 percent of market shares, thereby
relegating Google to second place. Another giant in the Russian market is the Mail.ru
group under CEO Dmitry Grishin, which was founded in 2005 and is the largest provider of
internet services in the Russian speaking market. Russians are also international
forerunners when it comes to using social networks. Vkontakte, founded by Pavel Durov,
already had one million registered users only nine months after its launch in 2006. Up to
34 million users currently visit the site daily.
But DLD not only represents digital innovation, it also provides cultural insight into
the current Russian music scene; the synth-pop band Tesla Boy will be performing at the
DLD Moscow Night in the Strelka Institutes amphitheatre, an international architecture,
media and design centre. Also performing: DJ Spooky aka Paul Miller from New York and the
Ukrainian Band Quest Pistols, winner of the MTV European Music Awards 2008.
In addition to the DLD Chairmen, Burda CEO Kallen and Skolkovo President Vekselberg,
the executive directors of the Russian company Fast Lane Ventures (Marina Treshchova) and
the German company eVentures (Andreas Haug), who together have been investing in Russian
start-ups since 2010, have been invited to the Chairman's Cocktail on Sunday evening on
the River Palace Boat.
DLD Moscow will be held in English and will be streamed live: via Digital October,
Presdo, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr - more details can be found at
http://www.dldmoscow.com.

DLD is the international conference and innovation platform of Hubert Burda Media. DLD

MontaVista Announces New Release of its Automotive Technology Platform and is Declared Compliant to the New GENIVI 2.0 Specification

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MontaVista® Software LLC., today announced the release of MontaVista Automotive Technology Platform (ATP) 2.0 and that it has been declared compliant to the new GENIVI Specification version 2.0 by the GENIVI Alliance. The MontaVista Automotive Technology Platform enables automotive manufactures and tier-1 suppliers to build powerful in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI) systems while significantly accelerating time-to-market and lowering development costs of innovative new features.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120525/AQ14181LOGO)
Some of the key components of MontaVista Automotive Technology Platform are:

The key enhancements in the Systems Infrastructure are centered on the Audio Manager, Display Layer Manager and the standardization of system startup processes with systemD. systemD is a system initialization and service manager for Linux, that provides a standardized process for fast start up and management of snapshotting and restoration when vehicles are started and stopped.
MontaVista's Automotive Technology Platform 2.0 supports hardware boards from leading semiconductor providers and has been declared GENIVI 2.0 Compliant across one of the widest range of leading automotive-specific platforms, namely:

So exactly how much are you allowed to invest (or lose) under the new equity Crowdfunding Law? That depends on who you are...
PeoplesVC offers the first on-line Calculator Tool for investors that automatically calculates how much the Crowdfunding Act will allow them to invest in Crowdfunded companies
PETERBOROUGH, N.H., May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PeoplesVC today announced it has created a new tool for investors interested in investing in Crowdfunded companies.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120509/NE03136LOGO)
There has been a lot of confusion surrounding the new legislation that was recently signed into law that permits startups and small businesses to raise up to $1 Million through social networking and other online avenues. The new law, referred to as the 'Crowdfunding Act,' sets limitations on investors that depends on their income and/or net worth. These limits are designed to offer protections for the general public, as this is the first time the public has had the ability to make venture capital investments in privately held companies.
"This new calculator tool allows individual investors to enter their income and net worth, and instantly calculates how much they will be allowed to invest in a Crowdfunded company over a 12 month period," commented Mr. Noah Tier, PeoplesVC.com spokesman. "We built this tool because we were overwhelmed with inquiries on our site from investors asking how much they could invest, and wanted them to be able to have a tool they could use themselves, since the answer really depends upon their personal financials - namely income and net worth," added Mr. Tier.
The Calculator tool also enables investors to see a graph that displays how investors are responding to the dollar amounts imposed on them - should they be allowed to invest more or less?
PeoplesVC.com is known as the first equity-based Crowdfunding site to open its doors to entrepreneurs and small businesses, who are actively preparing their companies for Crowdfunded stock sales of up to $1 Million.
Recent reports have predicted that the average American will invest 1% of their income in Crowdfunded companies, which will create a sizable capital market opportunity for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses.

Vintage Filings Launches New Website: Emphasizes Convergence of PR, IR and SEC Compliance
PR Newswire combines comprehensive investor relations services with XBRL, EDGAR and IPO transactional services
NEW YORK, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vintage Filings, PR Newswire's internal turn-key XBRL, EDGAR filing and financial printing division, today announced the launch of their newly expanded website http://www.vfilings.com, which matches the "look and feel" of the PR Newswire corporate website and highlights the complete SEC compliance and shareholder communications services marketed to public companies.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110719/NY37427LOGO )
The redesigned website is a tangible illustration of the unification of the two companies and Vintage Filings' tight integration with PR Newswire's suite of investor relations services.
Vintage Filings' services include
-- XBRL tagging and filing
-- Traditional financial printing, including IPO registrations
-- Annual report services
-- Investor relations websites
-- Investor visibility
-- Earnings webcasting
"Many of our Vintage Filings clients are small and micro-cap companies who have small management teams, which generally means the CEO is wearing the company's 'regulatory hat' as well as the 'financial hat' and also the 'investor relations hat,'" said Liam Power SVP of compliance services at PR Newswire. "They need a single, trusted source that can simplify the SEC filings and investor outreach tasks. Our new website clearly identifies that we are that trusted source."
By combining Vintage Filings and PR Newswire services, beginning with the regulatory filings, the company is able to guide clients on how to re-balance their budgets, placing new emphasis on strategic growth initiatives like Capital Markets Visibility 365 for investor acquisition.
"Certainly, our large and mega-cap clients value from this re-balancing as well," Power continued. "Beyond saving them tens of thousands of dollars spent on regulatory filings, we can save them workflow time which is equally valuable. For example, we can automatically file an 8-K file with every material news release. Vintage Filings and PR Newswire are perfectly positioned to help companies manage the financial balance between compliance and visibility."
Vintage Filings and PR Newswire will be presenting Capital Markets Visibility 365 at the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) 2012 Annual Conference, June 3 - 6 in Seattle, WA.

High-Tech Pomp and Circumstance: Universities Webcast Commencement Ceremonies Worldwide to Remote Audiences via Mediasite

High-Tech Pomp and Circumstance: Universities Webcast Commencement Ceremonies Worldwide to Remote Audiences via Mediasite
Families and friends share special days with graduates regardless of distance
MADISON, Wis., May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Family and friends of graduates don't have to buy plane tickets to attend spring commencement ceremonies to take part in the festivities. More schools worldwide are opting to live stream video of ceremonies via Mediasite by Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted market leader for lecture capture, enterprise and event webcasting.
Nearly two dozen schools such as Johns Hopkins University, University of Southern California, Ball State University, Ashland University and University of Florida are using Mediasite to webcast their graduation ceremonies so global audiences can watch their loved ones walk across the stage. For students whose family and friends can't travel hundreds - or even thousands of miles - this is particularly special, because now they can see them graduate in both real time and on-demand.
"Using Mediasite to webcast commencement is part of our culture. This year alone University of Florida will webcast close to 20 ceremonies for the spring, summer and fall graduates. The spring graduation ceremonies have had 5,500 live views and have been viewed 8,700 times on-demand, and that number will continue to rise," said Brian Smith, video operations supervisor for the University of Florida - Information Technology. "Many of our graduates have family who live out of state, out of the country, or are deployed in military service. Streaming our ceremonies live with Mediasite invites everyone to join in the excitement no matter where they are, and eases the financial burden on those who aren't able to travel long distances to campus. Anyone can watch live from the comfort of their homes or offices and still feel like they are sharing in the graduates' special day."
Not only did Mediasite allow the world to share in the students' special days but it also gave the public the chance to hear celebrity and high profile speakers share words of wisdom with the graduates. For example, Second Lady Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, delivered the commencement address to Broward College graduates. Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and renowned researcher Edward O. Wilson and veteran ESPN sports broadcaster Lee Corso were among the Florida State University speakers and IBM's Sam Palmisano spoke to Johns Hopkins University graduates.
"These are all examples of great programs that help to make graduation day even more special for students and their families. By offering a webcast via Mediasite, they don't have to miss out on an extremely important day, wherever they are in the world," said Sean Brown, vice president of education for Sonic Foundry. "Hats off to the class of 2012. We applaud their success and wish them best of luck in their future careers."
For a list of more schools that streamed their ceremonies via Mediasite, visit http://www.worldofwebcast.com/graduation.
Trusted by more than 1,000 colleges and universities, the patented Mediasite webcasting and video content management system quickly and cost-effectively automates the capture, management, delivery and search of live and on-demand streaming videos and rich media presentations that combine video with slides.

AT&T's Investment In St. Louis Pays Off In Improved Voice And Data Performance
Company Activates New Cell Sites, Boosts Capacity and Adds Equipment to Enhance Networks, Keeping More Than 99 percent of all St. Louis-area Wireless Calls Connected
ST. LOUIS, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* continues to drive investment and innovation to improve voice and data performance on our network. Those investments are paying off in strong service performance, including keeping more than 99 percent of allSt. Louis-area wireless calls connected.
AT&T has invested more than $2.1 billion from 2008 through 2011 in its St. Louis wireline and wireless networks as part of our drive to deliver the nation's best mobile Internet experience:
-- We've made more than 1,000 network upgrades since January 1, 2011,
including:
-- Activating nine new cell sites or towers to help improve network
coverage.
-- Deploying faster fiber-optic connections to more than 500 cell
sites. Combined with HSPA+ technology, these deployments enable 4G
speeds.**
-- Adding capacity or an extra layer of frequency to cell sites - like
adding lanes to a highway - with the addition of nearly 500 layers,
or "carriers."
-- Launching AT&T's 4G LTE network, which allows customers to stream,
download, upload and game faster than ever before
-- Investing in a new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at Busch Stadium
to increase capacity for densely populated areas during baseball
games and concerts.
CNN Money recently recognized AT&T for enhancing its wireless network. Last year, AT&T completed 150,000 network enhancements across the country, more than triple the year before, giving customers more capacity and faster speeds, as well as improving call retention.
"Staying connected is vital for my business--allowing me to manage schedules and inventory as well as keep in contact with my staff, no matter where I am," said Brian Pelletier, owner of Kakao Chocolate in St. Louis. "I trust AT&T's network to keep me connected, so my business can continue to grow."
"In St. Louis we have worked hard to keep more than 99 percent of calls on the AT&T network connected--and we're not stopping there," said Nancy Garvey, AT&T's vice president and general manager for the Greater Midwest Region. "We are always striving to provide the most reliable network possible, and with the launch of 4G LTE in St. Louis, we are improving both speed and accessibility."
"We constantly strive to meet consumer demands for faster, more reliable service, and over the past four years we have invested heavily to ensure the best experience for our customers," said John Sondag, president of AT&T Missouri. "While consumer demands are driving our need to invest, good policy decisions by our legislature have enabled us to make these investments in new technologies and upgraded service."
AT&T's National Network Investment
Over the past five years, AT&T has invested more than $115 billion into our operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Mobile data traffic on our network grew more than 20,000 percent in the last five years, and it more than doubled in 2011 alone. The download speeds available on our 4G LTE network today are more than 50x faster than our 2G network five years ago. We ended 2011 with 80 percent of our mobile data traffic running on our advanced 4G network.
AT&T's WiFi Capacity
Connections on the AT&T WiFi network continue to skyrocket as more and more consumers log-on from smartphones, tablets and other devices. AT&T customers can connect to the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with nearly 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots and growing. To date, AT&T has launched free Wi-Fi at more than 290 locations in St. Louis. AT&T continues to deploy free Wi-Fi hotzones to provide convenient connectivity for AT&T customers in high traffic areas.

Company Activates New Cell Sites, Boosts Capacity and Adds Equipment to Enhance Networks, Keeping More Than 99 percent of all St. Louis-area Wireless Calls Connected
ST. LOUIS, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* continues to drive investment and innovation to improve voice and data performance on our network. Those investments are paying off in strong service performance, including keeping more than 99 percent of allSt. Louis-area wireless calls connected.
AT&T has invested more than $2.1 billion from 2008 through 2011 in its St. Louis wireline and wireless networks as part of our drive to deliver the nation's best mobile Internet experience:
-- We've made more than 1,000 network upgrades since January 1, 2011,
including:
-- Activating nine new cell sites or towers to help improve network
coverage.
-- Deploying faster fiber-optic connections to more than 500 cell
sites. Combined with HSPA+ technology, these deployments enable 4G
speeds.**
-- Adding capacity or an extra layer of frequency to cell sites - like
adding lanes to a highway - with the addition of nearly 500 layers,
or "carriers."
-- Launching AT&T's 4G LTE network, which allows customers to stream,
download, upload and game faster than ever before
-- Investing in a new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at Busch Stadium
to increase capacity for densely populated areas during baseball
games and concerts.
CNN Money recently recognized AT&T for enhancing its wireless network. Last year, AT&T completed 150,000 network enhancements across the country, more than triple the year before, giving customers more capacity and faster speeds, as well as improving call retention.
"Staying connected is vital for my business--allowing me to manage schedules and inventory as well as keep in contact with my staff, no matter where I am," said Brian Pelletier, owner of Kakao Chocolate in St. Louis. "I trust AT&T's network to keep me connected, so my business can continue to grow."
"In St. Louis we have worked hard to keep more than 99 percent of calls on the AT&T network connected--and we're not stopping there," said Nancy Garvey, AT&T's vice president and general manager for the Greater Midwest Region. "We are always striving to provide the most reliable network possible, and with the launch of 4G LTE in St. Louis, we are improving both speed and accessibility."
"We constantly strive to meet consumer demands for faster, more reliable service, and over the past four years we have invested heavily to ensure the best experience for our customers," said John Sondag, president of AT&T Missouri. "While consumer demands are driving our need to invest, good policy decisions by our legislature have enabled us to make these investments in new technologies and upgraded service."
AT&T's National Network Investment
Over the past five years, AT&T has invested more than $115 billion into our operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Mobile data traffic on our network grew more than 20,000 percent in the last five years, and it more than doubled in 2011 alone. The download speeds available on our 4G LTE network today are more than 50x faster than our 2G network five years ago. We ended 2011 with 80 percent of our mobile data traffic running on our advanced 4G network.
AT&T's WiFi Capacity
Connections on the AT&T WiFi network continue to skyrocket as more and more consumers log-on from smartphones, tablets and other devices. AT&T customers can connect to the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with nearly 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots and growing. To date, AT&T has launched free Wi-Fi at more than 290 locations in St. Louis. AT&T continues to deploy free Wi-Fi hotzones to provide convenient connectivity for AT&T customers in high traffic areas.

Swapalease.com Honors American Heroes with Deep Discounts for Memorial Day
CINCINNATI, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Memorial Day Weekend is well-known for its retail sales on grills, deck furniture and other staples of summer. But how about a sale that could help you swap your current lease for another summertime symbol - such as a snazzy new-to-you convertible?
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110802/CL43420LOGO )
Beginning this Friday, May 25, Swapalease.com will help American veterans do just that with their first Memorial Day Weekend Sale. The only full-service online marketplace of in-process vehicle leases, matching individuals who want to get out of their lease with people who are looking for short-term lease agreements, Swapalease.com will offer free Lifetime Buyer Memberships and fifty percent off on all seller listing packages to an American veteran. Through Swapalease.com, prospective buyers can search the listings for the exact vehicle they want, and then register for a nominal fee, allowing them to use Swapalease.com's safe online system to contact the prospective seller and close the deal. The Lifetime Buyer's Club gives members the permanent opportunity to search Swapalease.com's inventory of cars and contact lease owners directly. Seller listing packages provide different levels of exposure for their vehicles, including additional photos and the opportunity to offer incentives for interested buyers.
The sale runs through Tuesday, May 29 - plenty of time for veterans to trade their four-wheel drive for something a little lighter on the budget and the spirit. Sellers and buyers can reach Swapalease.com at http://www.swapalease.com or 866-SWAPNOW (866-792-7669).
In addition to significant savings, Swapalease.com will honor American military personnel with a special website design recognizing their sacrifice and commitment.
"We've had tremendous luck with our holiday sales," said Jennifer Streets Swapalease.com's Marketing Director, "and we're excited to combine savings with recognition for true American heroes - servicemen and women past and present."

Highland Wi-Fi Capitalising on Capped Data Plans
PORTREE, Scotland, May 25, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
- Mobile Operators Throttle & Cap Data Plans Are Driving Customers to Wi-Fi -
With widespread super-fast broadband still a long way from reality, Highland Wi-Fi who
installs, manages and maintains the UK's Fastest Public Wi-Fi network, today announced the
launch of their latest WiFi location in John O' Groats, Scotland.
"Roaming charges and new data plan limits can make connecting when travelling a costly
proposition, not to mention the lack of adequate 3G and 4G coverage across most of the
country" said Calum MacDonald, CTO at Highland Wi-Fi.
"Our network gives users additional flexibility and allow our platform service
partners to offer their subscribers access to a rapidly expanding Wi-Fi network in diverse
business and tourist hubs UK-wide," continued MacDonald.
Highland Wi-Fi operate indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi with the signal covering towns and
villages, and has 32 Wi-Fi hotspots across the country. John O'Groats is well known for
charity challenges and with people wanting minute-by-minute updates, Wi-Fi connectivity is
crucial and now anybody starting or completing the gruelling Lands End to John O' Groats
marathon, can let the world know their achievements at super-fast speeds by connecting to
the Highland Wi-Fi network.
The business, which has grown from 2 sites in 2009 to 32 sites today, offers customers
access to unlimited internet on smartphones, laptops and tablets. It will also enable to
people with 3G mobile data plans to save on their monthly allowances by switching to
faster Wi-Fi.
"With users expecting similar browsing speeds when they are out and about to what they
get at home, we exceed that expectation, as our network is quicker than most UK household
Wi-Fi, " said MacDonald.
Wi-Fi availability can be a deal breaker for business travellers, but it is becoming
increasingly important for holidaymakers, which is why so many campsites, hostels and
hotels have turned to Highland Wi-Fi to install a wireless hotspot for their guests. Given
the current staycation trend, holidaymakers will be seeking web access for finding out
about local attractions, booking restaurants, travel news and weather, not to mention
being able to keep the kids quiet and socially networked.
Highland Wi-Fi will have hosted over 100,000 user sessions on their Wi-Fi network by
the end of this year, a trend that will continue to rise as users switch off from the
mobile operators for their data usage.

their 32 hotspots throughout the UK, please see here:

Sun, Sea, Sand and Speed: Outer Banks Beachgoers Can Experience It All This Memorial Day Weekend
LAUREL, Md, May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To coincide with the start of the busy summer travel season which officially kicks off Memorial Day weekend, Verizon Wireless has expanded its 4G LTE network to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Beginning Memorial Day weekend 2012, the company's 4G LTE high-speed mobile broadband service will be available to local residents, businesses and those vacationing in the Outer Banks beach communities from Corolla south to Hatteras.
With the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network, customers can enjoy the best experience in wireless data usage when they stream video, share music and photos, download files and surf the Web with speeds up to 10 times faster than before.
"Today's 24/7 connected world makes it hard to drop what you're doing and leave work and life at home behind when you're on vacation," said Mike Maiorana, regional president for Verizon Wireless in Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia. "With 4G LTE from Verizon Wireless, you can enjoy your vacation with family and friends, and still not miss out on important business opportunities, updates and emails from friends or breaking news alerts."
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is available to more than two-thirds of the U.S. population in 258 markets across the country and offers more than six times the geographic coverage of its nearest competitor's 4G LTE network. Verizon Wireless customers can choose from a variety of more than 20, 4G LTE-enabled devices, including notebooks and netbooks; hotspots and modems; and smartphones and tablets, including the new LG Lucid(TM), an easy-to-use smartphone offering 4G LTE speeds at a low price, and the soon to be launched DROID Incredible 4G LTE by HTC, which will allow users to shoot HD video and capture photos at the same time with its Video Pic feature, all over the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network.
In real-world, fully loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless 4G LTE customers should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink. When customers travel outside a 4G coverage area, their devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast.
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network was named "Fastest 4G Network Yet" by Popular Science's 2011 Best of What's New Awards, and was ranked No. 1 on PC World's 100 Best Products of 2011. For more information about Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network and a list of current markets, visit: http://www.verizonwireless.com/lte.

Lifescript Launches New Online Depression Center
Lifescript.com, a women's health and wellness website headquartered in Mission Viejo, Calif., has launched a new online Depression Health Center to help women recognize and overcome symptoms of depression.
MISSION VIEJO, Calif., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lifescript.com, a women's health and wellness website headquartered in Mission Viejo, Calif., has launched a new online Depression Health Center to help women recognize and overcome symptoms of depression.
Each year, about 19 million Americans develop depression -- a chronic mental illness that can have debilitating physical and emotional symptoms. Women are 2-3 times as likely as men to get depression. And the illness can affect the entire body.
"Depression increases levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine, which may in turn increase blood pressure and heart rate," says Edward Geehr, M.D., Lifescript Chief Medical Officer. "It's important for patients' overall health and well-being to identify and treat depression as soon as possible, to help minimize these negative health effects."
Lifescript's Depression Health Center follows the latest studies on depression and offers expert articles and tips on preventative treatments, common causes of depression, foods that may help or hurt, popular remedies for depression and how to avoid depression triggers. It also features interviews with celebrities such as actor Tom Bosley (patriarch Howard Cunningham on "Happy Days") and Academy Award-winning actress Patty Duke who've found solutions for living well with the condition.
The Depression Health Center also provides information about which doctors should be on your depression health team, and offers a "doctor finder" tool to help locate a specialist in your area.
The Depression Health Center is one of 66 health centers on the site. Lifescript Health Centers are designed to help women live healthier lives with medically reviewed articles, expert interviews, lifestyle tips, quizzes, recipes and more.
ABOUT LIFESCRIPT: One of the fastest-growing online healthy living publishers, Lifescript.com (http://www.lifescript.com/) attracts 10 million unique visitors monthly and is the leading website focusing exclusively on women's health. More than 7 million readers also subscribe to Lifescript's six daily email newsletters. The company has offices in Mission Viejo and Beverly Hills, Calif., and in New York City.

Scholastic Storia(TM) Awarded The "Editor's Choice Award" By Children's Technology Review
"Scholastic's Answer to Amazon.com is STORIA" -- Children's Technology Review, May 2012
NEW YORK, May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Children's Technology Review, the "Consumer Reports" of products and trends in children's interactive media, has awarded Storia(TM), Scholastic's new eReading app with the 2012 Editor's Choice Award. The Editor's Choice Awards are given to only the highest quality children's products in the interactive media category. These are the "no fail" products, worthy of their cost, and able to keep children engaged for days at a time.

According to Children's Technology Review Editor Warren Buckleitner, "In the past month, we've notice a dramatic increase in the number of tablet based book collections that specifically target children. Which is best? If you study the ratings, you'll see that while each has specific strengths and weaknesses, Scholastic's Storia comes out on top."
Children's Technology Review tested Storia on the iPad. Here are excerpts from the review: "We found all aspects of the Storia experience to be solid and easy to use. Features include the ability to quickly jump between shelf and list view, so if you have a lot of books you can browse your titles alphabetically. Other nice touches include the ability to switch skins. The books look as if they are scanned versions of the printed pages... Once a book is downloaded, it lives within the app, along with a customized dictionary. Features include some excellent navigation features, silky smooth page turning and a no-frills dictionary system. Some of the books are marked with lightning symbol, which means they have been enhanced with word puzzles or some other type of comprehensive game. The design is clean and responsive throughout." Buckleitner continued, "Of course the strength of any eBook delivery system is the library. In that department, few can match the resources of a company like Scholastic.... In order to make this product Scholastic Book Club friendly, the system rewards teachers with points (for their classroom)."
Deborah Forte, Executive Vice President and President, Scholastic Media, the group that created the Storia application, commented, "We're delighted that Storia's unique functionality designed to support kids reading has been recognized by Warren Buckleitner who is widely respected as an expert on children's software. He joins the many teachers, parents and kids who have expressed their enthusiasm and appreciation for Storia."
Storia is a FREE eReading app specifically designed to support kids' reading, and also help parents monitor kids' reading progress. Storia comes with FIVE FREE eBooks, and offers access to a wide variety of age-appropriate titles for children from toddler to teen. The selections are carefully curated to offer a range of children's digital picture, chapter and interactive eBooks on a variety of topics and reading levels that are presented in a way that is true to the original print versions. A selection of Storia eBooks are enriched with fun, educational activities including vocabulary games, comprehension activities and fun video content as a reward when kids finish the book.
On Storia, parents can set up individual bookshelves for each of their children, purchase new eBooks, and track a child's reading progress through each book. Parents can find out which words the child learned, how many pages they read, and how long their child spent reading each day.

Book Unique Venues for Fun Activities to Charge Your Social Calendar with New Lifecrowd, Eventup Partnership
Seamless Integration Makes it Easy for Hosts to Book an Exclusive Location and Invite Guests with Just a few Mouse Clicks
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Social activities discovery site Lifecrowd today announced a new partnership with fellow LA-based startup and event venue marketplace Eventup to make it easy for users to find unique and memorable venues for social activities created on Lifecrowd, all with just a few clicks of the mouse. The two will kick off the partnership with an exclusive event comprised of a medley of interactive Lifecrowd sessions, including sushi rolling at Geisha Studios located in the historic 1927 Granada Buildings in Los Angeles, showcasing the distinctive experience Eventup locations and Lifecrowd activities create together.
The new Lifecrowd and Eventup integration works two ways. First, activity hosts can create an activity listing on Lifecrowd and instantly click through to Eventup to find and book a unique venue space to welcome guests for wine tastings, cooking sessions and any other fun activity. Similarly, when booking a venue through Eventup, organizers can easily create a corresponding activity listing on Lifecrowd to share event details and allow users to RSVP.
"We're helping users create exceptionally entertaining activities by providing the tools to make them fun and simple to organize," said Lifecrowd CEO Bong Koh. "Eventup offers access to a range of impressive and unique spaces - now users can easily find the perfect setting for their Lifecrowd activity."
The first startup to launch out of the MuckerLab incubator/accelerator program, Lifecrowd provides an online platform for both discovering and hosting social activities. Emphasizing casual settings for connecting with friends and new people, Lifecrowd activities are curated for quality, and the site employs social filtering via Facebook and other personalization methods to recommend activities for users.
"Partnering with Lifecrowd enables us to give people memorable one-of-a-kind experiences at the most exceptional venues," said Eventup founder and CEO Tony Adam. "At Eventup, we aim to help people plan their perfect event by giving them access to the most exclusive and widest array of locations. Now, with access to Lifecrowd's unique experiences, we're excited to see what users will put together."
The first startup to launch out of technology studio Science, Inc., Eventup takes the hassle out of finding unique venues for any kind of event--from weddings, concerts and parties to private gatherings and corporate functions. Users can browse an array of impressive residences like opulent mansions and secluded beach houses to more traditional commercial properties like banquet halls, restaurants and art galleries. Once users are delighted by a location, they can instantly schedule a walkthrough or book the venue immediately, all with just a few clicks.
