Call of Duty®: Black Ops II Pushes the Boundaries of the Call of Duty® Franchise

Near Future Setting, Branching Storylines, Advanced Weaponry and New Graphics Technology Combine to Deliver the Most Ambitious Call of Duty to Date

THE FUTURE IS BLACK(TM) on November 13, 2012

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Call of Duty®: Black Ops II delivers the most groundbreaking and visceral Call of Duty® experience ever.  Set in the year 2025, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into global conflict featuring advanced weaponry, robotics, and drone warfare in a new Cold War scenario whose seeds are being sown in today's headlines.  New graphics technology drives the stunning cinematic action of the single-player campaign's branching storylines and non-linear missions.

"Hands down, this is the most ambitious Call of Duty ever," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "We are bringing disruptive innovation to the franchise and we are doing it on several fronts. We're pushing the boundaries technologically, graphically, and from a narrative and gameplay perspective. At the same time, we need to stay true to the epic realism, authenticity, heart pumping adrenaline, and cinematic action that so many people love and expect from a Call of Duty game. Treyarch's vision for Call of Duty: Black Ops II will redefine the Call of Duty franchise for the future--both literally and figuratively."

"With Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the team is crafting an experience that Call of Duty fans have never seen before," said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. "We are challenging assumptions on every front, with the single player campaign, Zombies and multiplayer.  In the campaign, we are creating a thought-provoking story that introduces branching storylines and meaningful choices that impact the narrative.  Running in the multiplayer engine for the first time, Zombies gives players a bigger and more diverse set of gameplay experiences, as well as entirely new ways to wage war with the undead.  And in multiplayer, we're embracing all skill levels and play styles to give players more ways to engage. With Call of Duty: Black Ops II, we're all in and we won't rest until we've launched nothing less than the best Call of Duty we've ever made."

On November 13th award-winning developer Treyarch and ActivisionPublishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), will deploy the sequel to the universally acclaimed Call of Duty®: Black Ops, which following its launch in 2010 set the record for the biggest entertainment launch in history.  Call of Duty: Black Ops II has not yet been rated.  For more information, visit http://www.callofduty.com/blackops or follow Call of Duty:Black Ops II on http://www.facebook.com/codblackops and on Twitter at #BlackOps2.

As our client needs evolve, we must assess the patient experience from start to finish to identify and customize the best possible service solutions.

CareTransitions(TM)- By providing post-discharge calls to patients, hospitals receive real-time feedback and data from patient calls that help drive post-discharge decisions and improvements. Calls made within 24-48 hours after discharge provide valuable insight from the patient's perspective, which enables hospitals to efficiently execute measurable solutions that increase patient compliance, reduce readmission rates and improve HCAHPS scores.

CareMetrix(TM)- Through BerylHealth's Patient Experience Database, hospitals and providers have access to reporting to analyze data and better understand a patient population, develop strategic communication plans, measure the return on investment, and enable the hospital or system to commit resources to addressing specific issues.

Website Is A Resource For Emotional Health Issues On College Campuses

Suicide Remains Second Leading Cause of Death Among College Students

NEW YORK, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the number of college students struggling with emotional and mental health issues continues to be a serious concern, ULifeline.org has been relaunched to help address the needs of young adults who might be experiencing depression, anxiety, and a wide range of other issues.  Visited by more than 160,000 people each year, ULifeline provides an anonymous, confidential web-based resource center allowing college students to search for information regarding emotional health, including alcohol, drugs, stress, sleep, depression and suicide prevention.  It is estimated that one in 10 college students have contemplated suicide, which remains the second leading cause of death among this group.  ULifeline was created by The Jed Foundation, the nation's leading organization working to promote emotional health and prevent suicide among America's college students.

"Each year, tens of thousands of students log on to ULifeline because they are struggling with emotional health issues or know someone who is," says John MacPhee, Executive Director of The Jed Foundation.  "We are committed to having a positive impact on the lives of students by letting them know that they do not have to carry these burdens on their own and can safely and anonymously use ULifeline as a resource."

The newly redesigned ULifeline features improved navigation and new content covering a wide-range of emotional health topics relevant for students in their daily lives.  Other widely-used tools, such as its Self Evaluator, a confidential mental health screening tool that was created in collaboration with Duke University to assess the issues for which a student may need to seek help, have been updated to provide an easier user experience for both students and counselors.  The site also includes an enhanced Counseling Central section that provides counseling professionals with information, ideas and tools for supporting student health and preventing suicide.  In 2009, a study by The Jed Foundation, mtvU and the Associated Press found that 13 percent of college students had been diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point in their lives, and 10 percent reported signs of moderate to severe depression.  The same research also revealed that half of all college students had been stressed to the point that it impacted their academic or social functioning at some time during the prior academic year.

The Jed Foundation provides ULifeline to all colleges and universities free of charge, regardless of the size or type of institution.  The service has been developed with input from leading experts in mental health and higher education.  ULifeline allows participating colleges to share, present, and customize information about their own specific campus resources and counseling center to students who access the site.  Currently, more than 1,300 schools are involved in the ULifeline Network and the number continues to grow.  Students and campus mental health professionals can visit the new ULifeline at http://www.ULifeline.org. 

About The Jed Foundation
The Jed Foundation (TJF) is the nation's leading organization working to promote emotional health and prevent suicide among college students.  TJF materials and tools are available to all colleges and universities throughout the United States.  Founded in 2000 by parents who lost a son to suicide while he was attending college, the organization has developed several programs, which include: ULifeline, an online resource that gives students access to campus-specific resources and allows them to take an anonymous emotional health screening; the Peabody Award-winning Half of Us campaign with mtvU, which uses online, on-air and on campus programming to decrease stigma around mental illness and encourage help-seeking; Love is Louder, a movement online and in communities to build connectedness and increase resiliency; and a portfolio of nationally-recognized tools, resources and training programs that help campuses effectively promote mental health and protect at-risk students.  Learn more by visiting http://www.jedfoundation.org, http://www.ulifeline.org, http://www.halfofus.com, or http://www.loveislouder.com.

IBM to Acquire Tealeaf Technology, Inc. to Help Marketers Deliver Exceptional Digital Experience for Smarter Commerce

ARMONK, N.Y. and SAN FRANCISCO, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Tealeaf Technology, Inc., a leading provider of customer experience analytics software that helps organizations to gain intelligence and react more swiftly to consumer trends in today's digitally transformed marketplace.  Financial details were not disclosed.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110314/NY64247-b ) 
(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory clearance and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.

With this agreement, IBM extends its Smarter Commerce initiative by adding qualitative analytics capabilities that provide chief marketing officers (CMOs), e-commerce and customer service professionals with real-time and automated insights into online customer buying experiences across online and mobile devices.  As a result, organizations can gain actionable insight that allows them to improve customer support, transform site usability, tailor marketing campaigns and increase online conversion rates.

The need to deliver a seamless mobile experience has become increasingly critical to CMOs with global online commerce expected to hit $1 trillion by 2014 and mobile commerce $200 billion by 2015. (1)

Tealeaf has over 450 customers worldwide including 30 of the Fortune 100 companies. These customers are predominantly in financial services, travel, retail and communications services.  Current clients include: Dell, Wells Fargo, Air Canada, GEICO, Orbitz, Crate & Barrel, Neiman Marcus, Expedia, Zappos, ING Direct, Best Buy, DirecTV, McKesson and StubHub.

Organizations today are struggling to meet the demands created by the rapidly shifting buying patterns of their customers, who increasingly turn to online, social and mobile channels to gather information, make purchases and receive services. This new digital marketplace requires companies to be highly responsive to their customers' behaviors in order to both compete and grow.  The opportunity to better understand a customer's experience on websites and mobile devices presents a major competitive advantage for businesses. 

Tealeaf provides a full suite of customer experience management software, which records and analyzes a customer's website and mobile interactions.  As a result, marketers can spot patterns and address issues in website and mobile application design and provide a more streamlined online customer experience that leads to improved revenue, customer satisfaction, customer service productivity, and profitability.

For example, using Tealeaf software, the CMO of an online retailer can identify weaknesses in a recent mobile marketing campaign by spotting instances and replaying scenarios that triggered customer sessions to end prematurely.  As a result, marketers can improve the customer's experience by addressing usability, site design or ease of use and reach out to consumers to recapture their interest.   

In another instance, an online travel agency finds that when visitors misspell a vacation package name and receive zero search results, nearly 100 percent of the visitors leave the site without completing a booking, prompting the website team to address the response and offer other navigation options. By replaying and analyzing each customer's session, the travel agent can pinpoint the issue and immediately serve those customers and maintain their loyalty.

"Marketers must continuously deliver a better customer experience on both the Web and mobile devices to meet the expectations of today's empowered consumers," said Craig Hayman, General Manager of Industry Solutions at IBM. "With these new capabilities from Tealeaf, we can not only provide chief marketing officers and other marketing leaders the qualitative insights into how customers actually experience their brands, but show them how to react in real time across marketing, sales and service."

"Tealeaf's patented technology can be deployed into a business's current environment with no needed modifications so they begin capturing customer data and delivering optimal experiences immediately," said Rebecca Ward, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tealeaf.  "IBM Smarter Commerce is the perfect fit for Tealeaf and further establishes IBM as the leading partner for businesses looking to succeed in today's fast evolving environment."

Tealeaf will extend IBM's leadership in Smarter Commerce by giving companies qualitative web and digital analytics capabilities, allowing them to capture and replay a customer's web and mobile interactions to provide a more granular and richer view of a customer's experience.  This insightful view helps marketers answer the question of "why" customers interact as they do and thus provide a more optimized online customer experience leading to improved revenue, customer satisfaction, customer service productivity and profitability.

Consistent with IBM's Smarter Commerce strategy and following the closing of the transaction, IBM will continue to support and enhance Tealeaf's technologies and clients while allowing them to take advantage of the broader IBM portfolio.  Tealeaf will be integrated into IBM's Enterprise Marketing and Management (EMM) Group, which includes previously acquired assets from Coremetrics, Unica and DemandTec. IBM has invested more than $3 billionin building its Smarter Commerce initiative, a key driver of growth and profitability. 

Tealeaf is based in San Francisco, California with additional offices in Europe.

ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX, France, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Withings, developer of the world's first WiFi-connected personal weight scale, today announced a strategic partnership with wearable body monitor pioneer BodyMedia, Inc. to aid consumers in weight loss efforts.  Under the partnership, weight data can be automatically imported into the BodyMedia FIT(TM) Armband System simply by stepping on the Withings WiFi Body Scale, eliminating the need to enter the information into the BodyMedia FIT Activity Manager manually.

The Withings WiFi Scale measures a user's body weight, lean and fat mass, and calculates body mass index (BMI) and automatically transmits the data to a secure personal webpage using the built in WiFi.  The data can be accessed from any Internet connected device or the free Withings smartphone application.  The scale can track eight users and, if desired, automatically tweet or update the user's Facebook status with the details of the latest weigh-in to generate support for the user's weight loss efforts from Twitter followers or Facebook friends.  By using the WiFi Scale, users can see a graphical representation of users' journeys in attaining their health goals.         

BodyMedia FIT armbands collect physiological data from the human body using four unique sensors that capture over 5,000 data readings every minute. This raw data includes measurements of heat flux, skin temperature, motion and galvanic skin response. BodyMedia's proprietary algorithms convert these readings to accurately capture key areas that directly affect people's health and wellness: calorie burn, physical activity duration, steps taken, and sleep duration and efficiency.  The data is then stored on each user's online Activity Manager, where it is available at any time via a computer or smartphone to help manage and track fitness and weight loss progress.

"Partnering with Withings will make it easier for BodyMedia armband users to log their weight information in our software," said Christine Robins, CEO of BodyMedia.  "Being able to track your weight over time is a true motivator and indicator of when you're heading in the right or wrong direction for your goals, and now Withings makes this step simple."

"Weighing yourself is obviously a vital component of weight control, but BodyMedia's body monitoring armband system takes it a step further by measuring vital statistics like calorie burn that help consumers see exactly why they are or are not losing weight," said Cedric Hutchings, Withings General Manager.  "Through this partnership, we have simplified the process of documenting weight data in the BodyMedia FIT Activity Manager, helping to provide ongoing support and motivation that is critical to weight loss success."

The Withings WiFi Body Scale is currently available on http://www.withings.com for $159.00 USD.  The BodyMedia FIT system is sold online at http://www.bodymedia.com and select retailers.  To request additional information or images, contact PR representative Jessica Darrican at (305) 374-4404 ext.116 or jessica@maxborgesagency.com.

Withings is a French start-up established by three executives from the technology and telecom industry. With a focus on the innovation and design for everyday products, Withings introduced in September 2009 its first-of-its-kind WiFi Body Scale in the United States.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Connectify, the emerging leader in easy-to-use wireless networking software, is offering 3G/4G USB modem owners a solution for getting the most value from their outdated hardware, especially when carrier contracts make device upgrades difficult.

With Connectify PRO, any 3G/4G USB modem instantly has the capability to provide Internet to multiple devices just like the latest mobile hotspot hardware, but at a fraction of their cost.

"More than ever, consumers rely on mobile Internet to provide access for all of their devices," said Connectify CEO Alex Gizis.

The Q2 works from a fixed or mobile wi-fi connection, does not require any subscription, and has no additional fees.

Armour Group USA managing partner Astley Gayle commented, "The Q2 is ideally suited for anyone who wants to take advantage of the wealth of audio content available online, and is an ideal Mother's Day gift.
