Sonic Foundry Live Webinars: "Are All Classroom Capture Systems the Same?"  "How to Facilitate Live Online Training - Techniques for Adult Learning Engagement," and "How to Market Your Online Event"

Webinars are free and will be streamed live via Mediasite on Tuesday April 24

MADISON, Wis., April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted market leader for lecture capture, enterprise and event webcasting, will host three live webinars this month as part of the company's best practices series.

Are All Classroom Capture Systems the Same?
Register now for the live webcast | Tuesday, April 24 at 11:00 a.m. Central

John DeAngelo, director of educational technology services at the University of California San Francisco, has put almost every lecture capture brand to the test as one of the first college-level CIOs in higher education. After outfitting hundreds of classrooms, and almost a decade-long deep dive into what works, he has created replicable, future-proof academic spaces that maximize the experience of faculty, students and staff. He will discuss why he chose to implement Mediasite at two different universities on both coasts and how that decision radically impacted faculty feedback and student outcomes.

Presenter: John DeAngelo, director of educational technology services at the University of California San Francisco and former associate dean for information technology in Temple's Fox School of Business
Moderator: Sean Brown, Vice President of Sonic Foundry

How to Facilitate Live Online Training - Techniques for Adult Learning Engagement
Register now for the live webcast | Tuesday, April 24 at 12:00 p.m. Central

After two years of research on what their audience liked and disliked about online training, staff at Hunter Douglas Window Fashions reached a new level of engagement. They have broken down the process into pre-, during- and post-event phases with defined roles and outcomes from the training team, presenters and the audience. With the Mediasite webcasting platform as their technology engine, they built an online training program, complete with LMS integration. From refresher courses to product launches, HR training to internal company meetings, over the last two years they have trained over 8,500 people via live streaming webcasts.

Traci Adolph, Manager of Training at Hunter Douglas, will discuss the online training program, including and answer your most pressing questions.

How to Market Your Online Event
Register now for the live webcast | Tuesday, April 24 at 1:00 p.m. Central

The majority of marketers plan to increase spending on online, virtual and hybrid events. Yet, most meeting and marketing professionals still employ the "If We Build It, they Will Come" approach to promoting these new meeting formats. Simply hosting a hybrid or virtual conference doesn't guarantee people will show up. Erica St. Angel will share tricks, real-life samples and implementable ideas for marketing online events.

Presenter: Erica St. Angel, Vice President of Marketing for Sonic Foundry
Moderator: Sean Brown, Vice President of Sonic Foundry

Wireless Power Consortium Extends Qi Standard to Include Longer Range Magnetic Resonance Wireless Charging

TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wireless Power Consortium today announced that the Qi open wireless charging standard is capable of providing full support and compatibility for longer-distance magnetic resonance technologies.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110927/CG76018LOGO)

Qi is the global standard for wireless power and charging. Devices are charged just by placing them on, or near, any Qi-enabled surface. Any Qi-enabled device works with any Qi charger, regardless of brand or manufacturer, making charging simple and convenient. Qi is supported by a quickly expanding list of over 100 industry-leading companies and is increasingly integrated into mobile phones, accessories, and public spaces in the US, Japan, China, and Europe.

The Qi standard is a fully open and flexible platform, and as it evolves, the WPC regularly approves new transmitter designs proposed by its members. The latest addition is a transmitter design that uses magnetic resonance technology. It increases the distance devices up to 5 Watts can be charged, from 5mm to 40mm, while remaining fully Qi compatible. This transmission distance is suitable for charging through most tables and counter tops.

"The Qi standard continues to quickly grow and evolve as more transmitters and technologies become part of the specification," said WPC Chairman Menno Treffers. "Qi is backed by over 100 companies and the standard's flexibility allows them to offer a wide range of products with compelling features and price points. Ultimately, the consumer wins with a broad product ecosystem that's all seamlessly compatible."

Wireless charging stations such as those that can be built into furniture, tabletops, cars, or found in charging pads, typically use magnetic induction or magnetic resonance transmitters to send power to the portable devices they're charging. Having the flexibility to choose from multiple transmitter designs allows companies to offer a wide range of Qi product types in consumer electronics, home appliances, furniture, automotive and other markets. These products can then be further differentiated by innovative design, components, materials, functionality, and value. Any Qi-enabled charger works with any Qi-enabled device, no matter what transmitter type.

Twelve new transmitter designs are approved in the specification, including those offering more freedom in device placement, magnetic and non-magnetic device alignment, and differing power options, such as USB. Many other designs are under review, with plans for additional spatial freedom and distances, increased power levels and more options to charge multiple devices at one time.

Qi has seen rapid adoption and momentum with deep industry support, significant new product launches, and global supply chain growth. The WPC recently displayed more than 80 new Qi products and prototypes at the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

About Qi and the Wireless Power Consortium
Established in December 2008, the Wireless Power Consortium's mission is to establish Qi as the global standard for powering rechargeable electronic products. The more than 100 members of WPC include industry leaders in mobile phones, consumer electronics, batteries, semiconductors, components, wireless power technology and infrastructure such as wireless operators, furniture and automotive parts companies. Qi products are available in the United States, Asia, and Europe.

ClickSoftware Partners with Infor to Enhance Scheduling of Mobile Workforces

Integrated EAM Solution Enables Field Service Organizations to Optimize Scheduling and Reduce Carbon Footprint

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, April 20, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. [http://www.clicksoftware.com ](NasdaqGS: CKSW), a
leading provider of automated mobile workforce management and optimization solutions,
today announced a partnership with Infor [http://www.infor.com ], a leading provider of
business application software serving more than 70,000 customers. Through the strategic
partnership, Infor will integrate its Infor10 EAM [http://www.infor.com/solutions/eam ]
application with ClickSoftware to enable field service organizations with large, complex
workforces to improve visibility, reduce costs and boost service levels by optimizing
schedules while factoring in travel time, service level agreements, employee
qualifications and accreditations, and parts availability.

    News points

   
    - Infor plans to integrate Infor10 EAM and ClickSoftware to help
      organizations achieve best-in-class schedule optimization for the management of large
      and complex resources, including the ability to allow schedule adjustments based on
      real-time feedback. Integration is accomplished with the use of Infor10 ION
      [http://www.infor.com/company/technology/ion ] technology, Infor's lightweight
      middleware platform.
    - The integrated application uses mobile capabilities to allow users to easily
      allocate resources that best fit specific work order tasks and adjust resource
      allocation based on live feedback from field service teams, boosting visibility and
      productivity.
    - Infor's partnership with ClickSoftware was established in response to
      increased demand for scheduling capabilities that can handle large personnel numbers,
      optimize complex crew availabilities, minimize schedule windows for specific assets
      or tools, and continually adjust to the demands of an internal and external
      workforce.
    - UK-based defense leader AWE [http://www.awe.co.uk ] (the Atomic
      Weapons Establishment) is the first company to deploy the integrated application, and
       plans to use the capabilities to reduce its carbon footprint and deliver
      productivity benefits across the business.

    AWE quote

    "We recently invested in Infor10 EAM and ClickSoftware to achieve two key objectives
across our asset and service management operations," said Ken Chapman, manager, asset
management, AWE. "As part of efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we plan to use the
enhanced scheduling capabilities to optimize route planning in our logistics operations,
while at the same time, we will improve scheduling of our 400 engineers for increased
productivity and improved service across the business."

    ClickSoftware quote

    "ClickSoftware looks to build lasting partnerships with world-class technology
providers and system integrators. Our partnership with Infor provides business solutions
that help drive growth and greater success for our customers," said Nigel Clark, Senior
Vice President of Worldwide Business Development, Clicksoftware. "Our solutions have
become the backbone of service operations management in many leading organizations
worldwide by turning them into real time service enterprises. They enable shorter
appointment time for customers, and, once promises are made, on-going updates on the
expected arrival time of the service technician. Improved schedule and route optimization
also offer significant savings in fuel consumption and a positive environmental impact
with the reduction of carbon emissions."

    Infor quote

    "As organizations remain focused on reducing costs and improving service levels, we
are seeing increased demand for capabilities which can optimize scheduling of complex
resources to complement asset management," said Stephan Scholl, President, Infor. "Through
our partnership with ClickSoftware Infor10 EAM will enable organizations to schedule
highly complex workforce structures and variables, from complex sub-contractor
arrangements to the management of limited windows of opportunity for the use of specific
assets or tools."

New Version of Maxthon 3 Offers Industry Leading Support for HTML5 Web Forms

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Maxthon (http://www.maxthon.com), a global software and web services company, announces a new release of Maxthon 3 that adds to its industry leading support for HTML5. This new version of Maxthon 3 includes the most comprehensive support for HTML5 web form standards of any desktop web browser. This change allows developers to use Maxthon 3 as the agent handling forms and form validation. Users can download the latest version of Maxthon 3 at http://www.maxthon.com/mx3/

"This new release of Maxthon 3 allows developers to fully exploit HTML5's web form standards - both by how they design them and how they put the browser to work," says Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. "Maxthon 3 is, simply stated, the ideal browser for HTML5 now and for the future."

With classic HTML web forms, many of the input types are semantically neutral, which means developers have to rely on server frameworks and additional JavaScript to handle these tasks. With HTML5 Forms - now fully supported in Maxthon 3 - the browser can handle these repetitious tasks - particularly for text - and give developers a better way to streamline these fields. This adds simplicity to development and speed and efficiency to the user experience.

With this release, Maxthon 3 adds to its already commanding lead in HTML5 support. The independent test website http://html5test.com gives Maxthon an overall score of 437 - besting Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera by wide margins.

"Developing standards like HTML5 requires industry-wide commitments that look beyond the bottom line," says Karl Mattson, GM of Maxthon International/Chief of Product Development. "Maxthon has made a long term commitment to HTML5 because we know that well-developed open source standards drive innovation. We are living proof of this. With this latest release of Maxthon 3 we place another marker on a trail that will fundamentally change the way the web builds, buys and accesses apps." ?

About Maxthon

With offices in the San Francisco, Beijing and Hong Kong, Maxthon Ltd. is an innovative software company and developer of superior web browsers which continue to set new standards for simplicity, speed and security.  Each month more than 130,000,000 people use Maxthon's web browser in 120 countries across the world.

E2020 Inc. Releases Suite of Common Core Courses

Innovative Curriculum to Better Prepare America's Students for College, Careers

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- E2020 Inc., one of the fastest-growing providers of online learning solutions, announced today the release of an innovative suite of courses designed to meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

The Common Core State Standards initiative was led by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association (NGA). It represents a first-of-its-kind collaboration among states to develop a shared set of rigorous standards to prepare America's students for college or career. The Standards are based upon input from teachers, content experts, existing state standards, and educational leaders, as well as feedback from the general public.

"From our earliest days, e2020 has been known for delivering rigorous and interactive curriculum. Requirements of the Common Core State Standards - conceptual understanding, mathematical modeling, performance tasks, nonfiction reading, and argumentative writing - are essential parts of our new Common Core courses," said Sari Factor, CEO of e2020. "We've also integrated new tools to support the concept building and analysis that is integral to the Common Core."

The Common Core courses integrate best-in-class tools to engage students in conceptual development and critical thinking. To support the kind of close reading prescribed by the Common Core, e2020 is proud to release the Close Reader(TM). This robust toolset, powered by Texthelp's SpeechStream, provides embedded read-aloud capability with synchronous dual-color highlighting, a talking dictionary, and study annotation pens to improve comprehension and analysis. Interactive text and audio supports within the text allow students at all reading levels and language abilities to access grade-level reading selections.

Additional mathematics interactives are embedded within the instruction and activities to support conceptual development and mathematical modeling. An online graphing calculator, developed by Desmos, enhances the learning experience for upper grades.

This year's new course suite represents the first step in a multi-year Common Core transition plan. Explained Factor, "Like our district partners, e2020 will transition to Common Core in a phased approach. Today, we are launching fully aligned Common Core courses for all grades. Future releases will infuse additional tasks and assessments specifically designed to prepare students for the new assessments that are expected to launch in 2014."

LG Mobile, Sprint Bring Fairy Tales to Life at LG Viper 4G LTE Launch Event

Actress Ali Landry introduces the new LG Viper 4G LTE smartphone, multi-tasking tools and tips for today's power parents; announces Harris Poll smartphone use survey results

NEW YORK, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Mobile and Sprint teamed up last night with actress Ali Landry ("Bella," "ABC's Superstars")to celebrate the debut of the new LG Viper 4G LTE Android smartphone at Home Studios, located in the historic Flatiron/Union Square neighborhoods of New York City. Event goers experienced how technology can be used to bring families together with the introduction of tools like the "Life's Good Fairytales" app, a customizable storyboard that allows parents and children to bond over the creation and sharing of unique fairytales via their LG smartphone.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110203/CG42292LOGO-d )

Gathered in the brilliant 4,000-square-foot studio, guests were invited to use LG Viper 4G LTE to discover ways in which parents can reform bad tech habits that interfere with quality family time. Drawing from her experience as a model, actress and full-time mother, Landry shared how LG Viper 4G LTE and applications like Box (50 GB of free cloud storage for all LG smartphone devices) and "Life's Good Fairytales" can help parents stay connected with work and family without having to sacrifice one for the other. Demonstrated in Home Studios' custom-made children's bedroom, guests used the "Life's Good Fairytales" app to customize their own stories by uploading photos, names and voices directly into LG Viper 4G LTE smartphones. "Life's Good Fairytales" will be available for free to LG Viper 4G LTE owners beginning April 27 in Google Play. For additional details on the app as well as ways for other Android owners to download the app, please visit http://www.lg.com/viper.

"A lot of today's parents work hard on the job then come home to commitments and family demands," said power parent Landry. "It can be easy to fall into the trap of mixing work with family time. That's why it's paramount for busy parents to have a smartphone like LG Viper 4G LTE that is not only dependable, but easily fits into their lifestyle. LG Viper 4G LTE makes its easier for me to stay connected with family, friends and business partners, and its technology and wide variety of useful apps allow me to juggle my personal and professional time in this fast-paced world."

"Like many of today's power parents, Ali Landry has a career that constantly keeps her on the go, in addition to her role as a full-time parent," said Tim O'Brien, vice president of marketing for LG Mobile. "At LG, we know it's important for people to have tools that allow them to multi-task. With LG Viper 4G LTE and apps like 'Life's Good Fairytales,' busy parents can stay connected to their families more easily than ever before--no matter where their work might take them."

LG also used this event as a platform to announce the results of a study about parents' use of smartphones. The survey of 2,222 U.S. adults (ages 18 and older) who have children ages 3 through 12 and own a smartphone was commissioned by LG Mobile and conducted online by Harris Interactive. The survey uncovered surprising statistics about parenting and smartphone use:

    --  Smartphones are an integral part of parents' lives--and more than half
        (57 percent) of all parents surveyed rely on their smartphones to keep
        them on track. More than two-thirds of these parents who are employed
        agree having a smartphone enables them to have a better work/life
        balance.
    --  Smartphones allow parents to stay in touch, but maybe a little too much.
        62 percent of parents with smartphones indicate they check or use their
        smartphone during family time.
    --  Smartphones keep the family connected, but they also keep the family
        distracted. Almost two-thirds (63 percent) of parents with smartphones
        surveyed give their smartphone to their children to entertain them.
    --  Parents also are using smartphones to bond with their children. Nearly
        one-third (27 percent) of parents from the survey indicate they have
        read a book to their children from a smartphone.
In addition to giving parents a tool to help balance their personal and professional lives, LG Viper 4G LTE packs a lot of value. Owners have the ability to download Box on their smartphones for 50GB of free cloud storage and sharing directly from LG. Estimated at a value of $240 per year, Box users don't have to stress about storing all their favorite music, files, photos and other memories. The 50GB of free storage is exclusive to LG smartphone devices until July 22.

Also enabled with Near Field Communication (NFC), LG Viper 4G LTE gives owners access to features such as Google Wallet, an app that allows payment using a mobile device at NFC-enabled merchants nationwide including Bloomingdales, Toys "R" Us, CVS, Gap, Macy's and more. A full list of retailers is available at http://www.google.com/wallet/where-it-works.html.

The sleek, ultra-thin smartphone boasts a 4-inch touchscreen display that is remarkably bright and clear, even in direct sunlight. LG Viper 4G LTE runs on the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system and features a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a virtual QWERTY keyboard, WiFi hotspot capabilities and a microSD(TM) slot that supports up to 32GB. The ideal mobile device for anyone who wants superior performance without giving up personal style, LG Viper 4G LTE makes multitasking a breeze. The smartphone also features a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and VGA front-facing camera, which allows for a fun and easy face-to-face video chat experience with family and friends.

In addition to having the latest technology, LG Viper 4G LTE is ULE Platinum Certified with the highest level of environmental performance recognized by UL Environment and Sprint. LG Viper 4G LTE features a case made of 50 percent recycled plastics and is RoHS compliant, meaning it is free from many potentially hazardous materials such as PVC, phthalates, halogens and mercury. LG Viper 4G LTE also uses soy ink, is packaged in up to 87 percent of post-consumer paper, is made with a glueless construction and is 100 percent recyclable. Included with LG Viper 4G LTE is a charger that only consumes 0.03 watts of power when plugged into a wall socket without being connected to the phone. Unlike other chargers, this device exceeds the EC Code of Conduct on energy efficiency when it comes to no-load consumption.

LG Viper 4G LTE will be available in Sprint sales channels including Sprint stores, Sprint.com, Best Buy and RadioShack online and retail stores starting April 22 for $99.99 with a new two-year Sprint service agreement and $50 mail-in rebate via reward card(1) (excludes taxes and surcharges).  LG Viper is available now for pre-order via Sprint.com.

Sprint 4G LTE is expected in select markets in mid-year 2012. For the most up-to-date details on Sprint's 4G LTE rollout, please visit http://www.sprint.com/4GLTE.

Red Hot Angry Birds® Brand Lands In The Oral Care Aisle Thanks To New Licensing Agreement With Dr. Fresh®, Inc.

BUENA PARK, Calif., April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Fresh®, Inc., maker of the best-selling FireFly® toothbrush, announced that it has entered a new licensing agreement as the exclusive U.S. manufacturer and marketer of Angry Birds® branded oral care products.   Angry Birds fever has captivated a broad swath of consumers across all generations, and Dr. Fresh is the first to leverage the brand's appeal in an innovative oral care line.

(Logo:   http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120419/LA91093LOGO-b)

The first of numerous products to be rolled out under the licensing arrangement will be the FireFly Angry Birds Squirt 'N Brush(TM) Tooth Foam, launching in the third quarter of 2012.  This exciting, unconventional format creates a new genre within the toothpaste category, and is expected to change the way that children in particular look at the task of toothbrushing.  The Angry Birds association and colorful graphics are expected to broaden the product's allure even further.

"We are thrilled to partner with a brand whose fan base is ardent, large and growing, and to leverage that appeal in products designed to encourage healthy oral care habits, especially among children," says Daniel Enriquez, Vice President of Sales at Dr. Fresh.  The Angry Birds game has been downloaded more than half a billion times across all platforms since it launched in 2009, and is the recipient of a host of industry awards, with possible TV series and film features now in the works.

Nancy Duarte's "Resonate" Published as First Interactive Business Book for iPad Built Entirely in Apple's iBooks Author

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Duarte, Inc., a presentation communication agency, announces the publication of the award-winning book, Resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences, for the Apple® iPad®, making it the first business book engineered to take full advantage of the tablet's ability to support interactive applications and multimedia.

The Duarte team engineered Resonate(TM) for the iPad by integrating the book's many visual elements through video and interactive applications. They used Apple's iBooks Author, a tool to help publishers create digital books that leverage the iPad's video, sound, interactive diagrams and text functionality.

"The iPad is a major revolution in the presentation and consumption of information, so we wanted to push iBooks Author further than anyone had before in order to transform Resonate into this truly new medium," said Nancy Duarte, author of Resonate and CEO of Duarte, Inc. "The electronic edition is a self-navigating story that enables the reader to experience the content in a manner that combines the best features of cinematic storytelling, interactive exploration and traditional books."

The app enabled Duarte's designers to create and convey content not possible on the printed page. In fact, the book's original print publication contained references to online multimedia content, but since that additional content was not integrated with the book, it was a separate experience for the reader.

"Even though Duarte originally packaged Resonate for print, this book was waiting for the interactive opportunity made available in iBooks Author," said Ms. Duarte. "The iPad technology allows us to produce the book in the visual, cinematic manner I originally envisioned."

For example, among the key concepts in Resonate is the "sparkline," a representation of the dramatic shape of any persuasive presentation. While this is explained in the print version of Resonate, in the new iPad publication the sparklines come to life through the use of embedded interactive JavaScript applications. These interactive apps intertwine the data in the sparklines with audio recordings of the speeches. The book includes analysis of speeches given by President Ronald Reagan, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Steve Jobs.

To buy the new iPad edition of Resonate, visit
http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/resonate/id517154732?mt=11.

Resonate was originally published in traditional printed book form in September 2010 and was lauded by businesspeople, academics and communicators. Its methodology showed how story structure - used for centuries in literature, politics and cinema - can be used to transform any presentation into an engaging journey. Resonate explains how to understand an audience, create persuasive content, elicit a groundswell response, and analyzes some of history's most effective presentations in business, politics, science and art. It spent more than 300 days on Amazon's list of 100 best-selling business books.

The popularity of iPad and other tablet devices is accelerating growth of the ebook industry. Global annual revenues from ebook sales for portable devices are projected to increase from approximately $3.2 billion in 2011 to nearly $10 billion by 2016, with about 30% of sales for tablet devices, according to estimates by Juniper Research.

Geosoft releases VOXI Earth Modelling technology

Cloud-based 3D modelling technology advances exploration geophysics for
improved geologic understanding and drill targeting

TORONTO, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Geosoft announced the release of VOXI
Earth Modelling, a cloud-based geophysical inversion software service
that generates 3D voxel models from airborne or ground gravity and
magnetic data.  VOXI is available as part of the Geosoft 2012 Software
Release.

Over the past decade, 3D geophysical modelling has become increasingly
important to exploration around the world. The ability to convert
geophysical measurements directly into 3D images of subsurface rock
properties that can be integrated with other exploration information in
three dimensions enables resource explorers to extract significantly
more insight from geophysical data.

"One of the important benefits of converting gravity or magnetic data
into a 3D earth model is that the visual end product allows explorers
to see and understand the subsurface using now common 3D viewing
platforms," said Ian MacLeod, Geosoft Chief Technologist. "VOXI
produces a model of rock properties, which can be directly integrated
with other surface and subsurface geologic observations. "

Integration is important, says MacLeod, because no one technique
provides all the answers. "Geophysical models often need to be
constrained by geological and geochemical observations in three
dimensions. Our aim as explorers is to develop the most complete
subsurface picture of geology and mineral systems that we can."

While effective, 3D geophysical modelling has been limited to use by
expert modellers, and the ability to generate earth models with
confidence has been out of reach for most geophysicists. With its VOXI
Earth Modelling solution Geosoft is targeting speed, usability and
accessibility to remedy this.

" We have designed VOXI Earth Modelling to fit naturally within an
explorer's workflow" said Robert Ellis, Geosoft Senior Earth Modelling
Scientist, "and we've made it fast, recognizing that speed in
generating 3D inversions is a critical requirement that will allow
geoscientists to use this tool routinely.  Speed also allows us to
iteratively improve our models as we add constraints and learn more
about our projects."

Behind VOXI Earth Modelling's speed and agility is cloud technology
engineered by Geosoft to conduct the complex geo-computing using
powerful cloud server farms, with minimal drain on the explorer's
personal computer systems. The VOXI Earth Modelling cloud service is
powered by Microsoft Windows Azure.

Included in the first release of VOXI Earth Modelling is the Geosoft
Magnetization Vector Inversion (MVI) modelling technique. MVI allows
the magnetization direction to vary within the model and thus take into
account the combined effects of remanence, demagnetization, anisotropy
and induced magnetization. The result is a more realistic
representation of rock magnetization, which is the fundamental rock
property measured with the magnetic method.

Geosoft VOXI Earth Modelling is being offered as a software service
extension accessible within Geosoft Oasis montaj. Visit http://www.geosoft.com/voxi to try VOXI Earth modelling or learn more about geophysical 3D
modelling.  For general Geosoft software enquiries and local
representation, please contact explore@geosoft.com.

About Geosoft

Since 1986, Geosoft has helped earth explorers make discoveries through
data. Geosoft technology is industry-standard for 3D mapping and
modelling of the Earth's subsurface, and for managing large geoscience
data. With offices across five continents, and a network of
international business partners, Geosoft serves thousands of clients
within resource exploration industries, government and the earth
sciences, including the most successful mineral and oil explorers in
the world. Geosoft has been ranked as a Top 150 Technology Company, and
one of the Ten Best Workplaces in Canada. For more information, visit http://www.geosoft.com.

If You're Not Tying Sales Data to Social Media Programs, You Are Behind

Brands tap advocates to spark product conversation online; Social Media Link and Incentive Targeting introduce a new partnership to measure the sales impact.

NEW YORK, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Social Media Link, the corporate parent behind Smiley360.com a leading influencer platform, announced today their partnership with Incentive Targeting, a web-based retail promotion company, in their integration of sales data research and analytics to brand advocacy programs.

Under the new partnership, brands can now access anonymized retail sales insights from participating retailers in Incentive Targeting's national retail network. They can for the first time measure social media advocacy programs, delivering the exact dollar impact of the "influencers" (those who test and review products) and impact on the "influenced" (those exposed to the reviews) in driving in-store action and purchase.

"When a brand engages 'brand advocates' to try their product and write reviews, the immediate question asked is 'when consumers are exposed to a review, are they more likely to purchase?' We are thrilled this partnership answers that question, with real sales data. Until now, brands have been missing the opportunity to measure the ROI of advocacy programs," said Susan Frech, CEO of Social Media Link.

SML owns Smiley360.com, a community for influential consumers who experience products and services, and utilize their Single-Click Sharing Technology tools to publish recommendations to their social networks.  By anonymously linking the online social behavior of Smiley360 users and their followers to in-store purchase data, Incentive Targeting can track brand and category usage before, during and after a Smiley360 influencer program at participating chains.

Incentive Targeting's Co-Founder and VP of Marketing, Ben Sprecher says, "Brands intuitively know how powerful a trusted recommendation can be to trial and purchase consideration, but when it comes to dollars and cents, no one has successfully measured that impact. Incorporating our technology and shopper-centric analytics, brands can finally answer to the question: how much is a recommendation really worth?"

About Social Media Link

Social Media Link (SML) is the leading tech-enabled marketing services company that amplifies social media advocacy for brands. We make it easy for brands to activate impactful and trusted recommendations across social media, triggering in-store action and leading consumers through the path to purchase.

Teradata to Congress: Adopt Big Data Analytics and Pass H.R. 3339

Database-driven ROI of a million a day at State of Michigan is proof that the federal government can realize powerful results for citizens, agency operations

WASHINGTON, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A blurring blizzard of complex data could soon overwhelm many federal decision makers who rely on the quality of insights they glean from massive information streams, according to Darryl McDonald, Executive Vice President, Applications, Business Development, and Chief Marketing Officer of Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the analytic data solutions company. At a hearing earlier today, McDonald urged the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources to adopt 'big data analytics' tools to:

    --  help decision makers extract actionable insights and deliver the right
        information to the right people in time to make a difference
    --  harness the growing masses of new data types: structured and
        unstructured
    --  maximize resource efficiency and improve secure collaboration and
        productivity
    --  avoid data redundancy, improve data quality and re-use data efficiently
    --  increase credibility and confidence in the data that is used for
        decision-making
    --  improve end results for both users and those who rely upon them.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120412/CL86658LOGO )

Referring to the analytic concepts in the popular film and book Moneyball, McDonald said that data integration and big analytics can help assure decision-makers that their important decisions are fact-based - and not weakened by errors - because all data is integrated and available for analysis. This approach cuts analysis time from weeks to near-real time and enables continuous improvement to meet constantly changing technology, regulatory and mission needs.

The State of Michigan is using a large Teradata analytic platform to produce a return on investment of one million dollars a day. McDonald told the subcommittee to imagine what could be accomplished at the scale of the federal government, using the State of Michigan as the example. He said that this approach works well everywhere it is deployed, and encouraged federal agencies to take note. He commented that advanced analytics produces powerful results for scientific research projects; and the parallel practice of big data analytics offers great opportunities for many agencies' day-to-day operations.

McDonald also offered other noteworthy cases where big analytics technology has clearly helped business and government improve decisions, performance and services.

"We'd like to express our deep appreciation for the leadership of Chairman Geoff Davis in championing the use of Big Analytics in government," said McDonald. "We hope that others in Congress will build on the chairman's important work and encourage government adoption of H.R. 3339, the Standard Data and Technology Advancement Act.

"Teradata strongly supports this bill and respectfully requests Congress to pass this much-needed legislation as quickly as possible," McDonald added. "Not only would this legislation improve cost-effective delivery of essential services to millions of Americans, but it would also serve as a stepping stone for other government agencies to understand and acquire the benefits of big analytics."

Today's hearing was organized by Congressman Geoff Davis (R-KY), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Ways and Means, and held at the 1100 Longworth House Office Building at 10 am. Witnesses included representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as well as other public and private sector experts on the current status of and the potential for technology to improve the administration of public benefits.
