        database provisioning quick and easy and enables wireless operators to
        select the option that best meets their deployment needs, resulting in
        timely and responsive 9-1-1 data management.
Supporting Quote:

    --  Chris Nabinger, senior vice president, Safety & Security Group, TCS,
        said: "TCS is dedicated to the development of 9-1-1 solutions that
        improve public safety and emergency response. As carriers transition to
        delivering voice over 4G/LTE networks, subscribers expect that access to
        9-1-1 services will be reliable and uninterrupted. The TCS VoLTE 9-1-1
        solution takes advantage of TCS' years of experience in the public
        safety communications marketplace to help ensure subscribers receive the
        connectivity and responsiveness they need in an emergency situation."
Since deploying the first U.S. wireless E9-1-1 solution in 1998, TCS has been pioneering public safety solutions for wireless E9-1-1, NG9-1-1 and E1-1-2. TCS supports half of all U.S. wireless E9-1-1 calls serving more than 140 million wireless and IP-enabled devices.

Fortinet and Extreme Networks Announce New Secure, High-Performance and Scalable Cloud Solutions

Solutions Offer Enterprises and Cloud Service Providers a Cost-Effective Way Secure and Serve Data in the Cloud

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks (NASDAQ: EXTR), a technology leader in high-performance Ethernet switching, and Fortinet, a leader in high-performance network security, today announced a  joint marketing agreement where they will work together to provide fast, secure, multi-tenant cloud networks for today's large enterprises and cloud service providers. The solutions are being demonstrated at Extreme Networks' Interop tradeshow booth #1851 in Las Vegas, May 8-10.

The main concerns organizations have with shifting their data and networking to private, public or hybrid clouds are security, latency and scalability. But network architects are slowly beginning to see the economic value of pushing more applications to the cloud. When new products become available that are scalable and won't impact network performance, Extreme Networks believes cloud adoption will expand.

"The data center networking equipment market segment that supports private, public and hybrid clouds continues to enjoy strong growth," said Sam Barnett, directing analyst for Data Center & Cloud at Infonetics Research. "We predict that the market for this type of DC Networking Equipment will reach $11.6B in 2015."

Extreme Networks Ethernet switching and Fortinet's FortiGate Unified Threat Management (UTM) security appliances have been recognized by Info-Tech Research, the Lippis Report and BreakingPoint Systems, Inc. as performance innovators in network switching and security.

Extreme Networks switches feature dense 10/40GbE with 20 terabits of capacity and Fortinet's top-of-the-line FortiGate-5140B chassis has been tested by Fortinet at 559Gbps of firewall throughput and up to 132 million concurrent sessions. To put that performance in context, according to Fortinet, the chassis can inspect 10,000 iTunes(TM) songs every second or 36 million songs per hour, 228,000 Web pages every second or 821 million pages per hour. Together, the two companies' products offer the performance and scalability required to support today's cloud infrastructures.

The two companies recently completed interoperability testing that evaluated switch and security functionality with integrated firewall, VPN, IPS, Web filtering and application control services.

"As the demand for Cloud infrastructure and services increases, so does the expectation that those solutions will be stable, secure and proven," said Bill Annino, vice president of data technologies at Carousel Industries, a reseller of both Extreme Networks and Fortinet's products. "To meet this challenge, Extreme Networks and Fortinet have come together with their products to offer the combination of performance and security protection that enables us to deliver a complete solution to our customers."

"The toughest part of securing the cloud today is doing so without affecting network performance," said Greg Fitzgerald, vice president of global marketing at Fortinet. "You can buy multiple appliances in an attempt to cover all of today's threat vectors, but at a point, management and costs become unwieldy and you're going to take a hit in performance. Consolidating all security functions into a purpose built, high performance security device that's managed through a simple interface and coupling that with a switch from Extreme Networks, offers today's cloud service providers a very powerful one-two punch."

"The business case for the cloud comes down to cost, scale and security," said David Ginsburg, chief marketing officer for Extreme Networks. "Our work with Fortinet addresses each of these concerns by providing combined scalability, performance and intelligence, allowing enterprises to more confidently choose robust and interoperability tested solutions within budget."

Trimble's New Smart GNSS Timing Antenna Adds GLONASS Capabilities for Network Synchronization

NEW ORLEANS, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today its latest generation of timing receivers--the Acutime(TM) GG smart antenna with multi-Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities. Slightly larger than a baseball and housed in a rugged, environmentally sealed enclosure, the Acutime GG provides a pulse-per-second (PPS) output synchronized to UTC within 15 nanoseconds (one sigma). It is a small, accurate and extremely cost-effective solution for adding GNSS timing and synchronization to any application where ease of installation and long-term reliability is critical.

The announcement was made at CTIA's Wireless 2012 Conference.

Using Trimble's latest GPS and GLONASS software technology, the Acutime GG smart timing antenna builds upon Trimble's field-proven expertise. In addition to GPS and GLONASS, the smart antenna also supports Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and the Asian Pacific Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS).

The new Acutime GG smart antenna is backwards compatible with applications built around previous generations of Acutime receivers. The antenna is an ideal solution for precise timing and network synchronization. It provides an independent GNSS timing source, within the firewall, for a variety of applications including:

    --  Synchronization and timing of cellular and radio networks
    --  Network fault detection systems
    --  Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) applications
    --  Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
"The Acutime GG smart antenna builds on Trimble's experience with GPS smart antennas," said Karen Guldan, general manager of Trimble's Timing Business. "We've implemented the next step in our product line strategy by adding multi-GNSS capabilities without changing the form factor of the product. This step brings the price and performance value needed in today's expanding wireless market."

Once powered, the Acutime GG automatically tracks satellites and surveys its position to within meters. It then switches to overdetermined time mode and generates a PPS, outputting a time tag for each pulse. The Acutime GG smart antenna's Time-Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (T-RAIM) algorithm ensures PPS integrity.

Designed for long-term reliability, the Acutime GG smart timing antenna is a pole-mounted GNSS receiver and antenna. It is corrosion-resistant and waterproof and has a rounded top that facilitates run-off from the elements. The RS-422 interface is ideal for the long cable runs required by buildings or towers. Standard cables are available in lengths up to 400 feet. Custom lengths up to 1800 feet are available.

The Acutime GG can operate in extreme temperatures (-40 to +85 degrees Celsius) and hostile RF-jamming environments typically encountered at wireless network transmitter sites. It requires less than 1 watt to operate and outputs Trimble's Standard Interface Protocol (TSIP) or industry-standard NMEA.

The Acutime GG Starter Kit makes it easy to evaluate the performance of the Acutime GG smart antenna. It includes the Acutime GG smart antenna (RS-422), a 100 foot interface cable, user guide, RS-422 to USB converter, and a Microsoft® Windows® software tool for monitoring and communication.

The Acutime GG smart timing antenna is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2012 through Trimble's Advanced Devices sales network.

Summer Presents Triple Challenge For Military Families With Children

Childcare Needs Increase During the Summer Months

CHICAGO, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As schools close their doors for the summer, it often leaves parents scrambling to find a summer sitter.  But for military families with children, this time of year presents additional challenges. Not only may a military family have just one parent at home during a deployment, but one in three military families will also have to move between May 15th and September 30th.  One of the biggest problems they face when relocating to a new post away from friends and family, is finding flexible childcare options they can count on.  To help these families navigate the unique challenges of military life, the Department of Defense has paid for memberships to Sittercity for Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force families including, active duty, Reserve, and Guard.

Sittercity is the nation's largest and most trusted website for finding quality local babysitters, nannies, elder care providers, dog walkers, housekeepers and tutors.  Military families can activate their paid Sittercity membership today by visiting http://www.sittercity.com/dod.

Eighty-four percent of military families who used this program said that Sittercity met childcare needs not met by other military programs.  And 93 percent would recommend Sittercity to other military families. 

Sittercity has helped over 60,000 military families find the right caregiver.  Sittercity memberships help families find the care they need, particularly when a spouse is deployed, they move to a new location or find themselves living off-installation or in a remote area.

"Flexible childcare is essential for military families because of their unique needs," said Melissa Anderson who heads up Sittercity's Government Programs.  "Many military families have a spouse who are deployed so daily life presents many challenges and often parents find they need extra help in the summer to care for children when schools are closed.  In addition, one third of military families have to move to a new post where they don't have access to friends or family members to help them.  Sittercity helps military families find the care they need whether it is full-time, part-time, after-school, hourly, or school vacations."

"I went through Sittercity to find someone to watch our, then, two-year-old while the movers were moving things into our new house last year during our PCS," said Rosella McCallister.  "It made the move so much easier as we know absolutely no one in our new area to help.  I had the same girl over to watch him several more times after that.  I was so glad to have Sittercity to fall back on."

Sittercity's Government Program for military families provides instant access to over 2 million, pre-screened caregivers nationwide.  Caregiver profiles include background checks, references, reviews, photos and much more.  Sittercity's proprietary matching technology helps families hand-select the perfect caregiver for their family.  Families can even find military spouse caregivers through the program.  In addition, servicemembers and their families are able to connect with Military certified care-providers on Sittercity including Child Development Homes (CDH) and Family Child Care (FCC) as well as caregivers who are military subsidized and authorized access to military installations. The Sittercity program can also help servicemembers who may not need childcare, but are looking for other types of care including elder care providers, daily dog walkers, pet sitters, tutors and even house sitters.

Radware and NEC Collaborate to Take OpenFlow Security to the Next Level

Joint Solution to Bring Advantages of Software Defined Networking (SDN) Approach to Network Security with Preview at Interop 2012 Las Vegas, NV

MAHWAH, New Jersey, May 8, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Radware [http://www.Radware.com ] (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of application
delivery [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] and
application security
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] solutions for
virtual and cloud data centers, today announced it is working with NEC Corporation of
America (NEC), on the development of a joint solution that forwards both companies'
growing activities in the software defined networking (SDN) arena.

    Radware and NEC will cooperate to create a joint solution which will integrate
Radware's Attack Mitigation System
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] into NEC's
ProgrammableFlow OpenFlow-based switches and controller. The joint solution will enable
customers to extend the advantages of the software SDN approach in the arena of network
security. SDN, in general, decouples the control and data forwarding planes to allow for
greater flexibility, scale, performance and agility by making the network more open and
'programmable'. This in turn, allows network administrators and operators more granular
control and customization of network behavior to meet a variety of customer needs.

    While SDN and the OpenFlow protocol are entering more mainstream adoption amongst
networking equipment vendors and end user companies in support of next-generation
networking practices, extending the benefits of this approach to security demands and
models is largely untapped. The IT community on the whole views security as the next
'killer app' for SDN and thus the frontier of application for SDN and OpenFlow. In
recognition of this need the companies, both forerunners in the development of SDN-enabled
solutions in their respective domains, are demonstrating their mutual support of the
OpenFlow Switch Specification and turning existing vision into practical reality.

    The joint solution of NEC's advanced ProgrammableFlow Controller, OpenFlow switch
fabric and Radware's Attack Mitigation System will provide a network and application
security-aware network that dynamically assigns security protection resources that can be
customize per need according to varying levels of detected threats and traffic volumes.
With the secured NEC switch fabric, fast provisioning of network security resources and
services for hosted customers, server applications and the entire network infrastructure
will now be possible. In addition, Radware will provide application security intelligence
for NEC's ProgrammableFlow Controller, which will enable improved adherence to security
service level agreements (SLAs) in the face of the most severe emerging threats at both
the network and application layers.

    Details of the solution's benefits include:

   
    - Reduced network complexity: Today's attack mitigation infrastructures
      (cleaning centers) are complex and require expensive network expertise. The process of
      establishing and administering network infrastructure such as scalable NetFlow
      collection, BGP dynamic routing, or maintaining tunnels (e.g., GRE) between protected
      network objects and the attack cleaning center is complicated, costly and hard to
      maintain. Use of a programmable secured infrastructure saves on all these operations
      and their associated high costs.

   
    - Service-centric attack mitigation protection: Data center and cloud
      provider managers prefer to integrate next-generation technologies that are more
      service-centric than product- and hardware-centric. The programmable secured
      infrastructure provides an easier way to provision security services. A "single touch"
      system, controlled by NEC's ProgrammableFlow Controller, allows managers to provision
      new security protection resources in their network or for their customers as a
      value-added service. Security services - for example, mitigation capacity - can also
      be provisioned per SLA.

   
    - Better service-level guarantees: In addition to the ability to provision
      security services per SLA, rapid diversion through a flow re-direct process
      significantly reduces protection time response for better compliance with service
      level requirements. Additionally, diversion granularity is not limited to L3 IP
      networking for more efficient resource use and reliable attack mitigation.

   
    - High availability: The solution can be deployed in a redundant
      architecture model with automatic detection and re-assignment of mitigation actions
      through seamless flow redirects in case of device failure. This same process is also
      used to increase mitigation capacity.

    "We believe that software defined networking is opening new opportunities for move
innovative security solutions, which will be innately integrated into the network
infrastructure," stated Miguel Llerena, director of channels and alliances, Radware. "We
are pleased to collaborate with NEC, an awarded data networking provider, on this
initiative and take OpenFlow security to the next level."

    "As a pioneer in OpenFlow-based software defined networking, we are excited about the
prospect of combining our strengths with Radware's recognized application and network
security leadership," said Don Clark, director of business development, NEC Corporation of
America. "The bottom line for customers will be a secure network that is also easier to
control, manage and provision compared to traditional networks, which have become too
complex and cumbersome."

    The companies intend to unveil a 'sneak preview' of their proposed joint solution at
Interop's 2012 Conference [http://www.interop.com/lasvegas ] in Las Vegas. Interested
parties should plan to visit the NEC booth (#815) on Tuesday, May 8th from 10:30-11:15
a.m. PST and Wednesday, May 9th from 1:30-2:00 p.m. PST for a demonstration.

Student's Revision Apps Help Other Students Prepare for Exams

LONDON, May 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    EducationApps, the UK's leading provider of mobile revision apps for students, has
released more than 50 apps over the past two months. The apps help students prepare for
their examinations, including Common Entrance, GCSEs, AS-levels and A-levels.

    The majority of these new apps are quiz based. Users can take a random test, or focus
on a specific topic. They get detailed explanations and links to further reading when they
select an incorrect answer. Users can even select their exam board, ensuring they only
receive content that is relevant to their course.

    George Burgess founded EducationApps when he was just 17. Now 20, he continues to
manage the company while a full-time student. He says, "Mobile learning is overlooked by
many traditional publishers. With my proximity to education I realised that there are
thousands of students who have come to expect this type of material on their mobiles but
can't find it. EducationApps completely solves this problem."

    The new apps are available on the iPhone and iPod touch. Many are also available for
iPad, Android and BlackBerry. Apple has just featured the majority of the apps under the
'Exam Time' banner on the home page of their App Store. Burgess says, "We've had some
great reviews so far and are delighted by the level of enthusiasm we've witnessed in
response to our new apps. We are developing a brand which students can return to time and
time again for all their mobile learning needs."

    EducationApps has also teamed up with Oxford University Press to release a series of
undergraduate apps, including Oxford University Press' popular 'Concentrates' series for
undergraduate students studying law. EducationApps has also worked with BBC Active, a
joint venture between Pearson and BBC Worldwide to create the BBC Bitesize apps, which are
also featured on Apple's App Store.

    Throughout May, EducationApps rolls out two new apps a day and is staging daily
competitions on its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Going forward, the company will partner
with more publishers to increase the variety of EducationApps' content. Burgess says, "We
have exciting projects in the pipeline and are working closely with many of the world's
top academic publishers."

    All apps are available via EducationApps' website, http://educationapps.co.uk

Frost & Sullivan: LinkedIn buys SlideShare, Implications for the Industry

SYDNEY, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LinkedIn has acquired professional content sharing platform SlideShare for US$119 million in cash and stock.

According to Audrey William, Head of ICT Research for Frost & Sullivan Australia & New Zealand, Social Media is gathering a lot of momentum in the business space and this is a very strategic acquisition for LinkedIn simply because it has always been a professional networking platform.

"Now that content can be shared, uploaded, viewed amongst liked minded individuals, LinkedIn will be the strongest social media network for professionals," she continued.

LinkedIn, whose shares have more than doubled since its initial public offering in May 2011, said membership has increased to 161 million from 150 million in the fourth quarter. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Weiner is pushing mobile technology to woo more professionals to its subscription services and attract advertisers who want to reach the growing user base.

"The company has in recent years done quite a few amazing things to its portal including allowing for twitter feeds to be sent via LinkedIn and that itself has brought about a lot of discussion amongst professionals," said William.

LinkedIn is in a very unique position at this juncture, as not many companies out there have such a model. LinkedIn is now starting to take away revenue from traditional recruitment and headhunting agencies that charge high fees for the recruitment of professionals.

William added, "In years to come it will be very common for companies to move away from such agencies and place advertisements through LinkedIn. Companies will be able to get information about candidates through their profiles, interactions, twitter feeds as well as forums they are on. That is a pretty attractive way for a HR manager or recruiter to identify candidates."

LinkedIn's model seeks revenue via various areas such as premium membership, recruitment fees and advertising. Frost & Sullivan expects this to continue and see LinkedIn grow their revenues effectively via these models.

"It will become an attractive platform for advertising and recruitment and will be the 'Facebook' of the professional networking world," said William.

Jake Wengroff, Frost & Sullivan's Global Director, Social Media Strategy & Research blogged his thoughts when the news broke saying, 'the numbers are clear, 9 million presentations have been uploaded to SlideShare, and the site received 29 million unique visitors in March.  These numbers fit in nicely with LinkedIn's 161 global members.  SlideShare has been an app available through the LinkedIn interface for quite some time.  Bringing the service in-house will only strengthen the alliance. LinkedIn is clearly on an acquisition streak -- aiming to become a B2B or professional social network powerhouse -- and injecting the principles of social business to every endpoint it touches."

In late February, the company acquired Rapportive, a Gmail plugin that makes both consumer Gmail as well as enterprise Gmail via Google Apps or Google Apps for Business more social. Wengroff said, "The Rapportive and SlideShare acquisitions both make sense.  In a world of social CRM, in which professionals in any department inside an organization are mining social networks for signals, content and messages from their clients, prospects, partners, and employees, a repository of content and a socialized inbox clearly point to the future."

Navman Wireless Selects CalAmp as New OEM Hardware Partner

Outsources Design & Manufacturing to MRM Leader; No Changes for Customers

GLENVIEW, Ill., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleet management technology provider Navman Wireless today announced a hardware supply agreement with CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), the leading designer and manufacturer of mobile resource management (MRM) solutions. Effective immediately, CalAmp will oversee the design and manufacturing of Navman Wireless' GPS tracking and communications devices and thereby help ensure ongoing hardware innovation for fleet managers who use the company's industry-leading OnlineAVL2 software/hardware platform to optimize operations.

The agreement follows three years of record Navman Wireless sales and profits, including a 20% install base increase in 2011 and a similar increase projected this year. That growth sparked a decision by Navman Wireless to support accelerating market demand by dedicating additional resources to continued enhancement of its OnlineAVL2 fleet and asset management application, while simultaneously strengthening its hardware capabilities by partnering with the industry leader in MRM hardware technology development. 

The same growth pattern and decision to focus internal resources on software also inspired the company to divest its non-core OEM GPS module business to Telit Communications in late 2011. The completion of both transactions, including the sale of certain hardware-related assets and technologies to CalAmp, will allow Navman Wireless to concentrate 100% of its time, resources and energy on its SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) business.

Under the CalAmp agreement, Navman Wireless customers will see no changes in pricing, installation support, warranties, service procedures or product supply for its Qube fleet tracking devices or other hardware products. Orders will continue to be placed and supported through Navman Wireless.

Over the longer term, customers will benefit from hardware enhancements and new product development enabled by combining Navman Wireless' New Zealand hardware/firmware team with CalAmp's experienced R&D staff. The larger team is expected to help drive strong new hardware features and more product choices for Navman Wireless customers, based in part on CalAmp's successful track record in designing and launching new devices for the MRM market.

"Bringing CalAmp on as our hardware partner will benefit fleet operators by optimizing both software and hardware development," said TJ Chung, President and CEO of Navman Wireless. "We can now dedicate all of our resources to delivering next-generation fleet and asset management tools through our OnlineAVL2 platform, while CalAmp's R&D team can apply their expertise to designing complementary next-generation hardware products. In this way, we will be able to sustain our reputation for delivering best-in-class fleet and asset management solutions and pave the way for producing an even more comprehensive hardware portfolio offering more choices to our customers."

The majority of the firmware and hardware team in Navman Wireless' New Zealand office will be transferring to CalAmp, which is opening a new R&D center in New Zealand to work on both Navman Wireless and other OEM products. Navman Wireless New Zealand will continue to employ 60+ sales, marketing, customer and technical support, and software R&D associates to serve customers in the region, remaining the largest employer in the New Zealand and Australia fleet and asset management market.

Navman Wireless is also continuing to expand its 300+ global workforce to enhance its OnlineAVL2 fleet tracking and asset management application. The company increased its staff by 25% in 2011 and is now aggressively recruiting for additional software and test engineers in both its New Zealand and California R&D centers. 

"This transaction expands CalAmp's served markets internationally and furthers our strategic growth initiatives," said Michael Burdiek, President and CEO of CalAmp Corp. "The Auckland-based R&D team will augment our core domestic R&D activities, adding an experienced team of engineers who possess key domain expertise in MRM technology product development. Our expanded capacity to develop complementary products will not only extend our product offerings to our existing customer base, but also allow CalAmp to bring to market enhanced platform solutions for fleet management service providers."

OnlineAVL2 helps corporate and construction fleet managers around the world monitor vehicle location in real time as well as reduce fuel, labor and vehicle operating costs. System maps and reports, delivered under the SaaS model, assist in fleet management by pinpointing problems such as idling, inaccurate timesheets, unauthorized stops and personal vehicle usage as well as improving dispatch efficiencies and optimizing maintenance schedules.

The OnlineAVL2 suite has one of the largest global footprints in the industry and has earned numerous honors for the company, including a 2011 Chicago Innovation Award (http://www.chicagoinnovationawards.com) and ranking on the Forbes America's Most Promising Companies list (http://www.forbes.com/ampc).

Energetiq Introduces Broadband Calibration Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS(TM))

Single high brightness source covers full UV-Visible spectrum for use in radiometric calibration

WOBURN, Mass., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Energetiq Technology, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of ultrahigh-brightness, broadband light sources for advanced technology applications, today introduced a new light source to its established line of LDLS(TM) Laser-Driven Light Sources for use in radiometric calibration. The EQ-99CAL is a calibration light source that covers the complete UV to Visible spectral range with high brightness and stable output levels across that spectrum.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120507/NE02381 )

Traditionally, radiometric calibrations have been made using more than one light source, e.g., Deuterium/Tungsten-Halogen, since prior to the introduction of the Energetiq EQ-99CAL no one source could cover from 200nm - 800nm. Additionally, traditional sources need to be recalibrated often and lamp bulbs replaced after only 500 hours of use. The EQ-99CAL has a long interval between calibrations (1,000 hours or one year) and a long bulb life of more than 5,000 hours, resulting in a lower cost of ownership.

The EQ-99CAL has a very strong irradiance in the critical 350nm range, where in typical systems two separately calibrated Deuterium (D2) and Quartz Tungsten Halogen sources would experience overlap and add uncertainty to the measurement. At 350nm, an EQ-99CAL exhibits irradiance an order of magnitude higher than these traditionally calibrated D2 and Quartz Tungsten Halogen lamps.

The calibration of the EQ-99CAL is traceable to the National Physics Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, and a certificate of calibration is included with each unit.

For more information on the EQ-99CAL and the rest of the Energetiq LDLS Laser-Drive Light Sources, visit http://www.energetiq.com/html/eq99CAL.html.

About Energetiq Technology, Inc.
Energetiq Technology, Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of ultrahigh-brightness light sources for use in analytical instrumentation. Energetiq's unique Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS(TM)) technology features broadband output from 170nm in the deep UV, through visible and into the infrared. The LDLS products offer higher reliability, ultrahigh-brightness, and better than 10X lifetime of conventional Xenon arc and Deuterium lamps. For more information, visit http://www.energetiq.com.

New Cuipo Apparel and Accessories Brand Blends Fashion and Cause Marketing

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Products with a purpose" is the mantra for the new lifestyle brand, Cuipo. The brand is garnering an explosion of attention not only for its clothing and accessories lines, but also for its cause.

The apparel products are an exciting and cool line of t-shirts with rad designs that also boast top-quality materials for fantastic fit and comfort. Along with the clothing line are stylish beaded bracelets made by indigenous people in Panama, water bottles and reusable shopping bags. The purpose is saving the world's threatened rainforest, one meter at a time. Each Cuipo-branded item includes a meter of protected rainforest.

Earth Month saw an incredible groundswell of visibility as a star-studded line-up of celebrities from film, television, music and books supported the Cuipo cause with many sporting the new Cuipo fashions, posting messages of support on social media, and creating video public service announcements. Those celebrities included Eva Longoria, Jenny McCarthy, Britney Spears, Deepak Chopra, Mario Lopez, Jason Kennedy, Zach Levi, Sophia Bush, Holly Madison, Christina Milian, Shantel VanSanten, Courtney Mazza, Robin Antin, Lauren Bennett and Paula van Oppen. Public service announcements were created by Bennett (s.cuipo.org/lbyt), Van Oppen (s.cuipo.org/poyt), Antin (s.cuipo.org/rayt), Kennedy (s.cuipo.org/jkyt) and Lopez (s.cuipo.org/mlyt).

In addition, FOX Sports Girls at more than 20 professional sports events wore Cuipo t-shirts, passed out meters of protected rainforest, posted on social media and spoke on FOX Sports to help build awareness for the cause over the weekend.

And it all culminated in coverage on the highly rated "Extra" TV show with host Mario Lopez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo82rvLgfXQ).

"We simply can't say enough about how much we appreciate and how important the involvement of each of these individuals is to helping us save the planet one meter at a time," said CUIPO COO John Oswald. "Their understanding of the urgent need to address preservation of the rainforest will have a direct and measurable impact on an issue with ramifications for generations to come."

Cuipo offers an innovative approach to rainforest protection by pooling contributions from individuals and corporate sponsors to purchase large parcels of land for transfer to its non-profit foundation, One Meter at a Time, for permanent preservation. In addition, the foundation employs local workers and indigenous groups to safeguard the preserved land, while also providing re-education programs to develop skills for gainful employment.
