Bee Media Acquires Adcentricity

Union Creates Powerful Platform for Location-Based Digital Advertising and Mobile Shopping

Two Hyper-local Mobile Products Available Immediately

TORONTO, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bee Media Inc., a mobile shopping platform, announced today the acquisition of the business of Adcentricity Inc., a location-based digital media technology company.  In addition, the newly formed Adcentricity announces the availability of two new products that make it easier for advertisers to develop hyper-local campaigns.  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Bee Media acquired the Adcentricity name and going forward will operate as Adcentricity, with Doug Woolridge, CEO of Bee Media, remaining at the helm as the CEO.  Adcentricity will continue to provide clients with location-based marketing solutions including new platforms, technologies, and services that drive shopper marketing and consumer engagement based on a person's physical location.  The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed; ICM-Caldwell and Telesystem are behind the transaction.

"The combination of local, shopper marketing, mobile, in-store radio and video networks has created a fractured landscape of thousands of smart, effective companies and media channels with limited ways to get the attention of, and adoption by, brands," said Rob Gorrie, former CEO of Adcentricity, who will stay on with the company as a Senior Strategic Advisor.  "Together with Bee Media, we can now offer an even more powerful platform with the ability to target and distribute addressable content across every digital channel with a location attached to it - including mobile shopping applications, which Bee Media has been quietly building over the past year."

Location-based marketing, including the data and activity that surrounds it, is quickly becoming identified as key to consumer influence, CRM and shopper marketing initiatives.  The new Adcentricity effortlessly allows brands to execute and respond to localized events and activities, and scale from one location to tens of thousands via a series of new and existing products.  With several key products, platforms and tools with enhanced functionality, Adcentricity has created a newly formed location-based hub of product, data and capabilities.

The two new products announced today include:

    --  ADMobile.  A platform for location-based mobile shopping, including
        mobile interfaces, shopping tools, location services, mobile payment,
        content management, analytics and reporting
    --  ADFormat.  An automated content generation tool that allows advertisers
        to execute completely customizable campaigns of video, copy, images and
        graphics to fit any digital screen, DOOH, OOH or mobile that can be
        uniquely messaged to any specific market or location
In addition, the company will continue to offer ADCentral, a product core to the Adcentricity service, as well as supporting components: ADVenue, ADTarget and ADFormat (included above) designed to place messaging in front of the most potential consumers.

    --  ADCentral.  Core to the Adcentricity service, ADCentral acts as a hub
        for venue-specific planning, targeting and content creation with 16
        categories and 55 subcategories reaching over 1 billion impressions
        across DOOH, in-store, in-store radio, NFC, Wi-Fi, mobile apps and more
        --  ADVenue.  A tool that offers a single source of detailed digital
            media inventory and hyper-local venue selection across multiple
            location-based media channels
        --  ADTarget.  Allows for targeting consumers most likely to purchase
            your product by layering venues with demographics and data from
            Nielsen, Environics, Polk, Simmons, PMB, BBM and more
"When you couple Bee Media's expertise on the consumer mobile applications side with that of Adcentricity on the location-based delivery side, it creates a platform that makes hyper-local mobile campaigns easy and executable for advertisers, brands and retailers," said Doug Woolridge, CEO of Adcentricity.  "Our location-based digital technology hub demystifies the complexities in this new media landscape enabling connections with on the go consumers in active retail environments.  Our mission is to connect the digital world with the physical world with a few clicks and have the ability to measure and report on results in a timely fashion."

Key executives from both companies will remain as part of the new Adcentricity including Brad Alles, SVP Business Development, Jeff Atley, VP Business Development and Laurie Freudenberg, Chief Operating Officer.

Adcentricity has worked with some of the top agencies and brands including Toyota, American Express, General Motors, Samsung, P&G, Coca-Cola and Roche.  In addition, the company holds several strategic partnerships including The Nielsen Company, Polk, Environics Analytics, Computer Sciences Corporation and PwC.  The new services provided by Adcentricity will offer a fully integrated platform to compile, create, localize, render and distribute an advertising campaign easily and cost effectively to any type of location-based digital media.

JDRF Announces Research Collaboration with Dexcom, Inc. to Develop "Smart Transmitter" Technology to Accelerate Artificial Pancreas Studies

--Novel Transmitter Will Simplify Artificial Pancreas Research by Eliminating a Separate CGM component--

NEW YORK, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- JDRF, the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, announced today that it has partnered with Dexcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXCM), a San Diego, CA-based medical device company focused on developing and marketing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. The goal of the partnership is to accelerate the development of a novel wireless "smart transmitter" that would allow a CGM system to communicate directly with an artificial pancreas control device currently being used for research studies, instead of only with a CGM receiver. 

JDRF will provide Dexcom up to $500,000 over 12 months in milestone-based funding to complete the development, testing, and manufacturing of a custom "smart transmitter" prototype, which will be used for studies within JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project academic research consortium.  The direct communication capability enabled by the smart transmitter will be an important feature for artificial pancreas trials in outpatient (real-world) settings, as it would eliminate the need for a trial participant to carry multiple devices all wired together while testing an artificial pancreas system's ability to manage glucose levels. 

People with T1D are burdened with constantly having to determine the right amount of insulin to dose at the right time, multiple times every day. Yet even with diligent monitoring, a significant portion of the day is still spent with either high or low blood sugar, placing them at risk for devastating complications. The artificial pancreas under development will be an external device that people with T1D could use to do what their bodies cannot--automatically control their blood sugar around the clock. It will work by combining an insulin pump and a CGM, which provides glucose readings every 1-5 minutes, with sophisticated computer software that allows the two devices to "talk to each other" to determine and provide automatically the right amount of insulin at the right time. Currently, all in-hospital artificial pancreas studies use wires and cables to connect a CGM system and an insulin pump to laptop computers or smartphones, which act as the artificial pancreas controllers.

In current CGM systems, the transmitter sends real-time glucose levels from the sensor to a receiver. In comparison, Dexcom's next generation of "smart transmitters" will have the ability to wirelessly transmit a glucose value directly to multiple devices, including several versions of an artificial pancreas controller.

"This robust wireless capability could greatly enhance the performance of closed-loop algorithms in outpatient studies, and we are proud to be working with JDRF on this exciting venture," said Terrance Gregg, chief executive officer of Dexcom. 

"In order for us to truly achieve real-life outpatient studies of artificial pancreas systems, we need systems that will allow people the freedom and ability to move around while also providing safety, monitoring, and data collection," said Aaron Kowalski, Ph.D., assistant vice president of treatment therapies for JDRF. "Dexcom's 'smart transmitter' will allow the sensor to talk directly to multiple artificial pancreas control devices, and essentially eliminate the hassle of being encumbered by wires and other devices while trying to be active. Now that the first outpatient studies have started, the development of robust wireless connection capability is a key step toward accelerating the delivery of an artificial pancreas to all patients with T1D."           

About JDRF

JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF is the largest charitable supporter of T1D research. The goal of JDRF is to improve the lives of every person affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners who share this goal. Since its founding in 1970, JDRF has awarded more than $1.6 billion to T1D research. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. Past JDRF research efforts have helped to significantly improve the care of people with this disease, and have expanded the critical scientific understanding of T1D. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered. For more information, please visit http://www.jdrf.org.

Mobiltel Develops CRM Customer Models with Teradata In-database Data Mining

SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobiltel, the leading telecom operator in Bulgaria, is now set to improve its customer relationship marketing success by cutting its analytic model development and deployment time to one-tenth, thanks to an IBM SPSS - Teradata Optimization project completed by Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the analytic data solutions company.

Storage Strategies NOW Relies on KineticD for Continuous Protection of Valuable Files

Storage Experts Depend on the Reliability of KineticCloud Backup to Secure its Documents

TORONTO, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- KineticD(TM), known for its cloud backup and data recovery services designed for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced that Storage Strategies NOW, an industry analyst firm offering written publications and analysis for IT users, business and technology leaders, relies on KineticCloud(TM) Backup to provide its staff with versioning restore and Continuous Data Protection assuring files are continuously and automatically protected and backed up to the cloud.

Founding analyst Deni Connor, located in Texas, and senior analyst and business development consultant Jim Bagley, based in North Carolina, had been collaborating on a 200-page report for several months. Coincidentally, the Friday before it was due to be released, both of their computers suffered hard drive failures within hours of one another. Both were working on their laptops when the crash occurred, leaving them speechless and frantic at the thought of delaying delivery of their report. It didn't take long before they remembered they were using KineticCloud Backup.

Jim rushed out to purchase a new laptop, downloaded the KineticCloud client and began to instantly restore his system. Within a couple of hours, he was able to restore his copy of the report. Deni waited to have the disk drive replaced and then used KineticCloud Backup to restore parts of her system. She restored applications from a locally-attached NAS device and the report and copies of her Exchange .PST file from KinecticCloud Backup.

"The thing I value the most about KineticCloud Backup is that it is totally transparent," said Deni Connor. "When I travel I don't worry because I know that all my latest changes are synchronized and the weekly email notifications from KineticD tell me whether my machine has been backed up, providing me with ongoing peace of mind that my files are safe and I don't need to think about it."

Jim was using a third-party restoration software that proved to be corrupted when he began his restore process from a local drive. After a moment of concern, he logged into his KineticD account and within minutes was able to begin restoring his own drive from the cloud.

"Nobody wants their computer to crash, especially when working with time-sensitive documents," said Jim Bagley. "After experiencing how easy it was to recover my files from KineticD, I would never use anyone else!"

Today, Deni, Jim and the entire Storage Strategies NOW team, rely on KineticD to backup all their corporate assets. They are a testament to the importance of regular, ongoing backup to the cloud, and a great example how KineticCloud( )Backup can save valuable time and resources.

"Hard drive failure is an ongoing issue for any business, especially when your company assets include written reports that take months to produce," said Jamie Brenzel, CEO, KineticD. "Failure to backup company data can be devastating. Experiences like this highlight the fact that continuous and automatic data backup with versioning on a file level ultimately makes or breaks a business. We are pleased to have Search Strategies NOW, true experts in storage, using our product to protect their valuable assets."

Testuff Software Management Suite Selected to Replace IBM's Solution on Colleges

Testuff was selected to replace IBM's solution, as the platform for students to learn and practice software testing. Students will perform their exercises using Testuff test management solution, and will learn how testing is done in the 'real-world'

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Testuff [http://www.testuff.com ], a global provider of SaaS based test management
solution, today announced that two of Israel's leading technical institutions, Ben Gurion
University and the Shamoon College of Engineering, recently selected Testuff test
management solution to help train their students in software testing.

    When asked why they had begun phasing out IBM test management tools in their
respective software engineering classes, both schools pointed to the speed and ease of
implementation, and quality of Testuff test management suite.

    Offered in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, Testuff tools require no discs,
hardware, or on-site installations. Instead, the subscription-based online suite allows
users to access the tools no matter where they are (watch the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRdl3846NpQ).

    The teachers at Ben-Gurion University reportedly create practice exercises, and
monitor progress from the comfort of their offices or even from home. Meanwhile, the
students completed their homework and ran simulations using the university lab, local
coffee shops, and anywhere else they could find a connection.

    For the Shamoon College of Engineering, ease-of-use was arguably more important than
flexibility. Minutes after registering, students were up and running without needing
on-site training or even instructional manuals.

    However, flexibility and convenience are merely luxuries in an industry driven by
methodical rigor. Whether for commercial applications or to train students, software
testing is a discipline with little margin for error. Displacing IBM required a level of
quality that neither ease-of-use nor mobility could ever overshadow.

    Testuff chalks this success to its unique approach for ensuring the highest standards
of quality. According to Co-founder, Gil Bloom, "We focus on problems first, then
solutions. Next we solicit feedback from users, explore contingencies, and restart the
entire process." He adds, "The suite is never finished - our frequent updates speak to the
immediate needs of our users."

    In the past, these users have traditionally been R&D labs and engineering departments
within the corporate world. But the addition of Ben Gurion University and Shamoon College
represents a growing shift towards training aspiring testers with the very software tools
they'll use once in the field.

    As Testuff continues to carve out a niche in academia, Bloom believes it represents
the future of software testing. "With over 4,500 registrations spread across over 40
different countries, our test management tools are highly relevant in the here and now."
He adds, "But because schools like Ben Gurion and Shamoon increasingly use our suite to
train today's students, the testers of tomorrow will continue to demand the quality to
which they've grown accustomed."

    About Testuff

    Established in January 2007, Testuff is a global provider of Software as a Service
(SaaS) based test management solution. The company is offering tools and services for the
software quality assurance (QA) community and application developers. Testuff is a
privately held company operating based in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Naked Wines crams 85 winemakers into customers' pockets with FREE new iPhone App

- Innovative UK wine retailer launches new mobile social platform

LONDON, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The UK's fastest growing online wine retailer Naked Wines has just released a new, unique iPhone app, offering members personalised tasting notes, video content of all of the wines they've ordered plus direct access to the vineyards and winemakers they're supporting.

The app, which is free to download, also offers non-Naked customers a free 40 pound Sterling wine voucher to give the retailer a try when they download the app and register their details. 

Since the app went live at the end of last week, Naked Wines have had 7000 downloads and have seen a 109% increase in the number of customers interacting with winemakers and recommending friends.

And 24 hours after launch, it overtook Amazon, Groupon, Asos and AutoTrader to become the third most downloaded Lifestyle App in the UK (behind Gumtree and eBay).

Naked Wines Founder Rowan Gormley explains:

"Rather than simply create a mobile version of our site, we wanted to put our winemakers in the palm of our customers' hands, supported with handy tasting notes and fun video content, to help bring their wines to life as they're drinking them," Gormley said. "Unlike any other wine app we've come across, customers can chat to the winemakers directly, see exactly where their wines have been made, and buddy up with friends and share deals and recommendations. Customers can also do all the usual stuff like rate, review and place an order, but the app's key purpose is to bring our proposition to life and encourage and empower customers and winemakers to interact directly, in real-time, from the vineyard to the sofa. The wines we sell wouldn't exist without customer investment and the app makes this relationship all the more real and all the more fun."

Naked Wines are also running a prize-draw to win a year's free supply of wine, for all downloads made before the end of April. 

To find out more about the app visit http://www.nakedwines.com/iPhone or email app@nakedwines.com

Android and iPad versions are due to follow in the summer.

CrimsonLogic Developed National Authentication Framework Project In Bahrain - eKey Goes Live

- First-of-its-kind system in Middle-East enabling citizens to securely access government eServices

SINGAPORE and MANAMA, Bahrain, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CrimsonLogic, a leading provider of eGovernment solutions and services, announced that the National Authentication Framework (NAF) project developed for the Kingdom of Bahrain, now recognised as eKey system, was officially launched by the Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Supreme Committee for Informatics and Telecommunication (SCICT), Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, at the recent inauguration of the 5th Bahrain International eGovernment Forum 2012.

CrimsonLogic was commissioned by the Bahrain eGovernment Authority (eGA) in early 2011 to develop and implement the eKey system to provide a secure nationwide authentication platform that manages and safeguards citizens' identities across multiple service delivery channels, various ministries and agencies.  The eKey system enables each citizen to use a single authentication profile and login to access government e-services.  During the authentication process, there are three levels of security: password (PIN), smartcard and biometric (fingerprint) identity verification to ensure all citizens-to-government transactions are carried out in a highly secured environment.

"We wish to congratulate the Kingdom of Bahrain on the successful launch of their eKey system and are honoured to be part of the country's effort to positively transform its government administration," said Mr Leong Peng Kiong, CEO of CrimsonLogic.  "With the system now in place, it will help the Bahrain government reduce administrative operating expenses, enhance service-delivery efficiency and improve user experience.

"This significant milestone is a strong testament of the Bahrain government's commitment and strategy to enhance government-to-citizen engagement, and also strengthened the country's competitive position in the region."

At launch, citizens can use their individual eKey (they have to first register their account on the Bahrain's eGovernment portal) to access services from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Human Rights and Social Development and Electricity and Water Authority.

About CrimsonLogic Pte Ltd

CrimsonLogic is a trusted partner to governments. For over 20 years, CrimsonLogic has worked with governments globally to find innovative and sustainable solutions to collaborate more seamlessly with their citizens. The company has continued to set industry-standards by delivering world-first eGovernment solutions.

Spread Betting Guide to Trading on Indices for Beginners

LONDON, April 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Spread betting with City Index [http://www.cityindex.co.uk ] enables investors the
flexibility of going short and selling markets, enabling them to potentially profit from
markets as the fall, as well as going long and potentially profit from rising markets as
well. In the following easy-to-follow guide, beginners can learn how they can go short and
sell on a trade with a spread betting account.

                                Spread Betting with City Index

    Investors choosing to spread bet with City Index can benefit from:

   
    - No Capital Gains Tax or Stamp Duty*
    - Ability to go long and short on a market
    - Access to over 12,000 financial markets
    - Easy access through its high leverage feature
    - Leveraged trading

    Tax-Free Trading

    At present in the UK, investors can benefit from paying no Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or
Stamp Duty on profits made through their spread betting account. However, this is subject
to change and investors should seek independent advice if necessary.

    Spread Bet Markets

    With access to over 12,000 spread betting markets
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/spread-bet-markets.aspx ], investors can place
trades on the future price movements of shares, indices, currencies and many more - for
only a small percentage of the underlying market's price as an initial deposit.

    Leverage

    As mentioned above, the initial deposit for accessing these markets is only small;
with City Index, investors are required to pay typically between 1% and 10% of the
underlying market's total value, allowing easy access into the world of trading for many
new and part-time traders.

    Commission free trading

    There is no commission charged for each of your spread bets. However as the name
suggests, there is a widened spread, which is one of the chief costs of placing the spread
bet.

                                  Spread Betting on Indices

    Indices are the most widely traded markets in the world. Investors choosing to spread
bet on indices [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/spread-bet-markets.aspx ] with
City Index can benefit from some of the tightest spreads available.

    For example, the following markets are available to spread from just 1 point:

   
    - UK 100
    - Wall Street
    - France 40
    - Germany 30

    How to Spread Bet on Indices

    In the example below, we show you how to spread bet
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/how-to-spread-bet.aspx ] on the Wall Street
Daily Funded Trade indices market with a City Index spread betting account.

    As an example, the Wall Street Daily Funded Trade (DFT) is available to trade at
12791/12792 (sell price/buy price).

    Following extensive analysis and utilising the range of spread betting education and
resources [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/education-and-resources.aspx ]
available to you as a City Index client; you expect the Wall Street Index to rally over
the coming days.

    Subsequently, you decide to go long and open a buy position of GBP10 per point at
12792.

    Over the coming days, the release of some positive US economic data causes the the
Wall Street Index to rally, resulting in City Index's latest price for the Wall Street DFT
to be 12808/12809 (sell price/buy price).

    At this point you decide to cash in your gains. You do this by selling GBP10 per point
at 12808 (the City Index sell price show above).

    Therefore, you net a tax-free profit* of GBP160. This is because you bought at 12792
and sold at 12808 with a stake size of GBP10 per-point. The market moved in your favour
16-points, which multiplied by your stake size of GBP10 per point, nets you a profit of
GBP160, i.e. (12808-12792) x GBP10 = GBP160.

    Alternatively, had the market moved against your buy position and the Wall Street
Index has in fact fallen 16-points to 10776; you would have incurred a loss of GBP160,
i.e. (12792-12776)xGBP10=GBP160.

                                     Spread Betting Risk

    As a leveraged product, the potential for profits and losses from an initial capital
outlay are significantly higher than in more conventional forms of trading when spread
betting on the financial markets.

    Financial spread betting
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/start-spread-betting.aspx ] can result in losses
exceeding your initial deposit, spread bettors must fully understand the risks and analyse
their market fully, prior to placing a trade.

    *Spread betting is currently exempt from UK stamp duty and Capital Gains Tax. Tax laws
are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances. Please seek independent
advice if necessary.

    About City Index:

    Today more and more individual traders are discovering the benefits of derivatives,
and many of them are discovering them through a City Index trading platform.

    As a group, we transact in excess of 1.5 million trades every month in over 50
countries. We provide access to a wide range of instruments including margined foreign
exchange, CFDs and, in the UK, financial spread betting [http://www.cityindex.co.uk ].

services. The result is our customers benefit from innovative trading tools with
transparent pricing, competitive spreads, and a high standard of customer support. Visit

Objet Customer Satisfaction Continues to Grow - 80% Give Highest Marks in 2011 Customer Survey

REHOVOT, Israel, April 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

          Latest Annual Survey of Objet Customers Shows Another Year of Increases in
   Overall Satisfaction and Satisfaction With Customer Service, Product Performance and

                                   Product Reliability

         Video: Watch the video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrDEXpexEYY ] to see

              what customers say about Objet's products and customer service

    Objet Ltd., [http://www.objet.com ] the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid
prototyping [http://www.objet.com/rapid_prototyping ] and additive manufacturing today
released key statistical results from its 2011 Customer Survey, showing year over year
improvements in key areas including overwhelmingly positive impressions of Objet, its
customer service and its products' performance. The survey was distributed worldwide, in
12 languages and 45 countries.

    Video: See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrDEXpexEYY ] what customers say about
Objet's products and customer service.

    Approximately 80% of respondents said their general satisfaction with Objet was "high"
or "very high"; and a similar percentage said they were either "likely" or "very likely"
to recommend Objet to others customers. Perceptions of Objet 3D Printers' performance also
rose from 2010 to 2011, with strong gains in marks related to ease of use, ease of
maintenance, reliability, and overall satisfaction with the Objet 3D printers.

    The percentages of customers who gave Objet the highest mark (5 out of 5) for various
aspects of service rose almost 12%. Specifically, 82% said their satisfaction with local
service and support was "high" or "very high" (i.e. 4 or 5 out of 5), while 79% gave the
same top rating for the service and support provided to customers under Objet's various
service contract offerings.

    The high scores for product reliability and customer service were rated as highly
significant in Objet customer's purchasing decision matrix. 82% of the surveyed customers
said that reliability and service were among the key parameters when selecting an Objet 3D
Printer. Of all parameters considering during the purchasing process, reliability and
service were rated third most important, right after accuracy and surface finish.

    Jason Lopes, systems engineer at Legacy Effects [http://www.legacyefx.com ], described
the kind of service he has come to expect from Objet: "I was blown away by the great
service I received when a part on our Objet Eden260V went out at 5pm PST on Friday and I
didn't know how we were going to meet our deadline. But, we received a replacement part
and were back up and running by 12noon on Monday, even though it was a holiday. It's
reasons like this why I will always stand behind Objet! Thanks for awesome service,
support and for being there when we needed it. Objet is a HUGE reason for our continued
success!"

    The comments of Juergen Fuchs, Head of Rapid Prototyping at B. Braun Melsungen AG, are
typical of many Objet customer views. He said: "I have always been very satisfied with the
service and new developments provided by Objet and hope it stays that way."

    Objet also rated highly in comparison to other 3D printing technologies. Two-thirds
(66%) of Objet customers ranked their satisfaction with Objet compared to other vendors as
"high" or "very high". Between 79% and 90% ranked Objet model quality and resolution as
"higher" or "much higher" over other models, depending on the specific technology.

    This is the third consecutive year that Objet has conducted a survey among its
worldwide customers. According to Objet's CEO, David Reis, "The well-being and
satisfaction of our customers is a fundamental part of who we are as a company. Objet is
highly committed to maintaining its edge in quality service and addressing our customers'
requirements. We build on every year's survey results by setting cross company goals and
the necessary tools to measure our improvement."

Hy-Vee marks Earth Day with new environmental initiatives

A website devoted to sustainability and healthy living, along with the introduction of a comprehensive sustainable seafood policy, demonstrate the company's ongoing commitment to making its stores and its operations more earth-friendly.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --  Hy-Vee is celebrating Earth Day this week with the launch of two initiatives that underscore its commitment to sustainability as a part of a healthy lifestyle.

Hy-Vee 360, a new website devoted to sustainability and healthy living, provides customers and the public with a behind-the-scenes look at Hy-Vee's efforts to become a greener company. The latest of these efforts is Hy-Vee's partnership with FishWise, a non-profit organization that helps retailers develop and implement sustainable seafood policies.

Mike Smith, Assistant Vice President, Real Estate and Sustainability for Hy-Vee, said these two new initiatives join an ever-expanding list of measures Hy-Vee is taking to fulfill its sustainability mission.

"As a company, we are dedicated to promoting the well-being of our customers, our employees, our communities and the global environment," Smith said. "This means not only operating as a good steward of the environment, but also providing our customers with the resources to live more healthy and sustainable lives."

Hy-Vee 360, the sustainability website, employs colorful graphics and pop-up windows to show viewers how eco-friendly initiatives are implemented in a typical Hy-Vee store. Topics covered include green building practices, energy conservation, waste reduction and recycling, local sourcing of products, sustainable packaging, and more. The site also highlights the resources available at Hy-Vee to help customers improve their health, such as in-store dietitians, HealthMarket departments and the NuVal nutritional scoring system. Other site features include consumer tips, quizzes, blogs and answers to frequently asked questions about Hy-Vee's environmental programs.

"We hope the information and ideas presented on Hy-Vee 360 promote ongoing discussion about issues such as recycling, food sourcing, energy efficiency and other topics related to healthy living," Smith said. "We will continue to add content to the site as our sustainability efforts expand into more areas of our operation."

One such area of expansion is sustainable seafood. Smith noted that Hy-Vee already has a seafood procurement policy to ensure that fresh seafood sold in its stores is not only safe for human consumption, but also harvested in a manner that protects the long-term viability of the species. Now the company has taken its support for sustainable seafood to the next level through its partnership with FishWise, a nonprofit organization that promotes the health and recovery of ocean ecosystems through environmentally responsible business practices.

FishWise works with leading seafood retailers, distributors, producers and restaurants to develop seafood sustainability programs consistent with sound science and the best practices in the industry. Smith said the FishWise partnership will help Hy-Vee source product, educate consumers and train employees to carry out a comprehensive seafood sustainability policy.

"We already go to extraordinary lengths to ensure the quality, safety and freshness of our seafood, including instituting a voluntary U.S. Department of Commerce inspection program at our distribution center," Smith said. "Our partnership with FishWise is just one more reason customers can be confident that the products they buy at Hy-Vee are not only good for them, but good for the planet as well." 

Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned corporation operating 235 retail stores in eight Midwestern states. In 2011 the company recorded total sales of $7.3 billion, ranking it among the top 25 supermarket chains and the top 50 private companies in the nation. Hy-Vee's 60,000 employee-owners bring a "helpful smile in every aisle" to the company's mission of making lives easier, healthier and happier.

LodgeNet Reports Accelerating Adoption of Its New Four Screen Services Strategy During the First Quarter

Envision(TM) Interactive Television Platform Now Contracted in Over 70,000 Rooms

Interactive Mobile Platform Now Live in Over 570,000 Rooms

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LodgeNet Interactive Corporation (NASDAQ: LNET), the leading provider of interactive media and connectivity services to hospitality and healthcare businesses and the consumers they serve, today reported continued and accelerating adoption of its new 'four screen' services strategy and its interactive platforms during the first quarter of 2012. 

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080115/AQTU120LOGO)

Interactive TV Platform Increases Momentum

Rooms contracted for Envision, LodgeNet's latest generation, high-definition iTV platform, numbered 71,000 at March 31, 2012 - a 75% increase over year-end 2011. This includes the 7,100 rooms at The Venetian - the largest casino/resort complex in Las Vegas and the company's largest Envision installation - as well as more than 13,000 rooms at over 30 properties in the Omni Hotels & Resorts portfolio. Other Envision installations announced since the beginning of this year include the flagship Sheraton Stamford (CT) hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles and JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE hotels in downtown Los Angeles, and the nearly 2,000 room Hilton New York. The cloud-connected Envision platform connects guests to essential hotel services and information about local attractions as well as delivering the best in-room entertainment options. Hotels focused on delivering consistent brand messages and engaging their guests can customize Envision to support the identity and services unique to their brands and individual properties.

Advanced App Adoption Exceeds Expectations

Further enhancing the value of Envision are LodgeNet's Advanced Apps, which include eCompendium (information about hotel services and facilities), eDining (on-site food and beverage ordering through the TV), and eGuest Requests (towel replacement, maintenance requests, etc.). "Hotel subscriptions to the Advanced Apps are exceeding our initial expectations," said Scott C. Petersen, LodgeNet Chairman and CEO.  "Of the Envision sites installed at quarter's end, more than 40% of the rooms are subscribing to an Advanced App, and those Apps are generating approximately $4.00 of revenue per room per month for us. We are particularly pleased with the high rate of Advanced App adoption because this is a 'software as a service' offering that generates a steady stream of recurring revenues."

Interactive Mobile Platform Extends Hotel Connection Through Personal Technologies

In January LodgeNet launched the LodgeNet Mobile App, expanding the company's relationship with the core traveler beyond the guest room television. In the first three months of this year, the company's mobile enabled base has expanded to serve over 570,000 guest rooms across more than 2,400 North American hotels.

Travelers who download the app to their iPhone®, Android(TM)  smartphone or iPad® can customize their experience in everything from the in-room movies they watch, to the restaurants they dine in, to the hotel services and local entertainment options they choose. In addition to providing full control over the in-room iTV experience, the app incorporates additional features that meet travelers' diverse needs throughout the course of their trip (including the just-launched mCheckout feature). In just three months, the LodgeNet Mobile App has become a traveler favorite by providing them with a fun, fast and easy-to-use way to connect to the things they value most when they're away from home. For hoteliers, the app provides a powerful and flexible vehicle to connect with their guests through a device that is "always on" and central to their travel experience.

"These first-quarter iTV and mobile achievements validate our 'four-screen' strategy, which focuses on helping hoteliers enhance their economics and guest relationships through not only the in-room television but the laptops, smartphones and tablet devices that are traveling with guests wherever they go," said Petersen. "In addition, the potential for engaging with guests before, during and after the stay - through the technologies they're using every day - is clearly resonating with the consumer.  At the heart of our four-screen services is our PowerPortal(TM), which allows single step, simultaneous publishing of promotional and informational media to all four screens. This powerful new cloud-based tool increases guest satisfaction while requiring only minor resources to deploy. We look forward to reporting further successes as we continue helping our customers maximize the opportunities of a multi-device world."

EC-Council and SAIC Announce Global Cyber Games Agreement

Organizations announce two year agreement of CyberLympics, a series of global cyber games held in six continents around the world, raising awareness in information security and unifying global cyber defense

MCLEAN, Va. and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) Foundation and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) are proud to announce their two-year teaming agreement for the CyberLympics, a series of global cyber games created by the EC-Council.

The mission of the CyberLympics is to unify global cyber defense while raising awareness toward increased education and ethics in information security. The timing of the games could not be more critical, as global cyber threats are escalating, leaving organizations vulnerable to disastrous security breaches. According to the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, hacking results in an annual loss of $6 to $20 billion in intellectual property and investment opportunities.

CyberLympics has been endorsed by the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats (IMPACT), which is the cyber security executing arm of the United Nations' specialized agency, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Dr. Hamadoun I. Toure, the Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), has officially been appointed as the Patron of the Global CyberLympics. With that appointment, Dr. Toure became the Chair of the Global CyberLympics Advisory Council (GCAC).

The CyberLympics will include cyber defense, offense, and a forensics challenge. The initial qualification rounds of these games will be conducted via the Internet, testing the skills of hundreds of contestants from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. The finals will be held in person in the United States in October of 2012.

As a Technology Sponsor of the games, the competitions will be powered by SAIC's CyberNEXS(TM), a live, realistic game environment that has been used for well over 150 training and competition events globally, enabling users to develop the skills to recognize and defend against cyber attacks.  Available live anywhere in the world, CyberNEXS provides a web-based network management tool that aids in real-time feedback and focused training. 

"We are excited to join forces with SAIC to bring the games to a new level globally," said Jay Bavisi, Chairman of the Global CyberLympics Organizing Committee and president of EC-Council. "The goal of the Global CyberLympics initiative is to help establish true cyber security partnerships across borders and I am confident that we can expand the outreach of this initiative globally and raise awareness of global peace through cyber games."

"As the breadth and scope of cyber threats and security breaches continue to escalate each year, there is a growing and immediate need for a strategic global defense initiative to train and educate the next generation of cyber leaders to protect critical government, healthcare, and energy infrastructure," said Charles Beard, SAIC chief information officer and general manager of the company's cybersecurity business unit. "We're excited to be a Technical Sponsor of the CyberLympics and to work with the EC-Council to raise global awareness in information security."

The CyberLympics World Finals is scheduled on the 29 -31 October, 2012 at the Hacker Halted Conference in Miami. For more information about CyberLympics or to register, please visit: http://www.cyberlympics.org

ed2go Announces the Launch of Their National High School Credit Recovery Program

STAMFORD, Conn., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ed2go, part of Cengage Learning and a leading provider of turnkey online training and education solutions, in partnership with Smart Horizons Career Online Education (SHCOE), the world's first AdvancED/SACS accredited online school district, has announced the launch of a new summer school credit recovery program for high school students looking to make up credits or retake courses to improve their grade point average (GPA). This program, which will be available through ed2go's extensive network of college and university partners, will greatly improve the availability of high school credit recovery options and dramatically impact the level of convenience and efficiency for students across the country.

As budgetary considerations cause school districts to cut back on summer school classes, a growing number of U.S. high school students are turning to online courses that allow them a second chance to pass courses they need to graduate, thereby "recovering" those essential credits. With its comprehensive, fully-accredited online instructional programs, this is the perfect solution to "fill in the gaps" left by decreasing opportunities in traditional school settings.

"SHCOE has established itself as a leader in the field of online education at the secondary level," said Wendy Kauffman, Chief Operating Officer for SHCOE, "and we are very pleased to work with ed2go to bring this innovative online product to current high school students as an affordable option for credit recovery. This program will allow students all the convenience and flexibility they need, without impeding on their summer plans. This is also a good opportunity for students who want to take a course to improve their GPA, accelerate their studies, or prepare for courses they will take in the coming school year."

"We are excited to offer this unique program to high school students who, in many cases, have nowhere else to turn if they are in need of making up a course," said Jerry Weissberg, Vice President & General Manager of ed2go. "These online high school courses are the perfect solution for both busy parents and their active teens who are in jeopardy of falling behind. Additionally, this is an outstanding opportunity for our college and university partners to reach out and offer even more educational services to their community."

Courses available in this program include:

Mathematics: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry
Science: Biology, Chemistry
Language Arts: English I, II, III, IV

The cost is $299 per semester.

With Cheesy Bites, you're getting our mouth-watering pizza surrounded by cheese-filled miracles that can take pizza night from good to great."

Meet the Cheesy Bites Gang
Cheesy Bites are back on the menu at Pizza Hut this spring, and its return is anything but quiet.

Pizza Hut will begin introducing members of the Cheesy Bites Gang today, with each character of the crust sporting a personality of its own.

Pizza Hut will also bring the rambunctious bites to life on the streets with a weekly Cheesy Bites Reality Reel.

To make Cheesy Bites Pizza, Pizza Hut takes a large pizza and surrounds the perimeter with 28 cheese-filled bites that take the place of a traditional crust edge.
