The transaction would result in Leap acquiring 10 MHz of additional AWS spectrum in Phoenix, AZ and Houston, Galveston and Bryan-College Station, TX to supplement the spectrum Leap currently operates in those markets, among others. Leap and Savary Island have agreed to assign T-Mobile and Cook Inlet spectrum in various markets in Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Microsemi Announces Availability of Solid State Drive with Unique Ruggedized SATA Connectors

New Connector Family Designed for Harsh Operating Environments

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced the availability of its ultra secure TRRUST-Stor(TM) solid state drive with a unique, ruggedized SATA connector designed to solve severe shock and vibration issues prevalent in defense and industrial applications. Designed in partnership with Hypertronics Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance interconnect systems, the new connectors are designed for operation in hostile environments where industry-standard SATA connectors are inadequate.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/MM66070LOGO)

"The weakest link in many embedded applications is the connector, which can sabotage the operation of critical hardware," said BJ Heggli, vice president of Strategic Development and assistant general manager for Microsemi. "Our new connector family protects against the effects of severe shock and vibration, which safeguards the flow of data. As a result, we can now offer customers what is perhaps the most secure and rugged SSD available on the market."

About the New TRRUST-Stor SATA Connectors
A unique contact and pin design eliminates pin fretting and intermittent disconnects to assure long-term dependability. Offered in several form factors, from board-mount to cable sets, the connector family provides a complete vibration-resistant solution for products where solid performance and zero downtime are key requirements.

The extended environment connectors are designed with 50 percent lower contact resistance than conventional designs and provide a minimum of 100,000 insertions with little to no performance degradation. Mating connectors are available in right angle, vertical and cable set configurations, supporting SATA rates up to six gigabits per second (Gb/s). The cable mount version of the connector includes a quarter-turn latching mechanism that simplifies installation and assures a reliable long-term connection.

Microsemi has full design, manufacture and test capabilities for a wide variety of multiple component packages (MCPs), commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) memory, microprocessors and combination MCPs for demanding applications. These microelectronic products can also be ruggedized and processed for tamper resistance. All devices are subjected to extensive environmental and temperature testing.

The Medicare NewsGroup Launches New Web Site to Arm Journalists With Comprehensive Medicare Information

GLENCOE, Ill., April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Medicare NewsGroup has launched a new website (http://www.medicarenewsgroup.com) that will equip journalists with the information and tools they need to cover Medicare effectively and thoroughly.

With Medicare taking center stage in discussions on deficit reduction, health care costs and in this year's presidential and congressional races, the resources at MedicareNewsGroup.com serve as a trusted source of news and information to journalists covering the program. The Medicare NewsGroup specifically aims to serve the media, but the site's publishers anticipate health care industry stakeholders, policymakers and consumers will also find its digital aggregation, curation and original content invaluable.

"We are committed to elevating the national discussion on Medicare by supporting journalists with a more informed, intelligent analysis of the program and the various alternatives being considered," said Judi Israel Rosen, co-publisher of The Medicare NewsGroup. "Covering this complex topic requires access to a broad range of sources and an understanding of the economics, policy, politics and many other areas of study. Our aim is to make it easier for journalists and anybody else seeking a better understanding of Medicare to quickly find the resources they need in a clear, succinct and accessible format."

The Medicare NewsGroup strives to be a comprehensive repository of Medicare information on the Internet, with:

    --  An aggregation of the most important daily news stories on Medicare from
        across the country;
    --  Up-to-the-minute information on legislation and regulation impacting the
        program;
    --  A calendar of the most important Medicare-related events, including
        historical events appropriate for anniversary news coverage;
    --  Hundreds of Medicare frequently asked questions (FAQs) on topics ranging
        from the most basic to the most complex;
    --  Original columns debunking common misunderstandings and providing
        in-depth analysis of Medicare issues in the news;
    --  A Newsmaker feature providing biographical and contextual background on
        individuals and organizations operating behind the Medicare headlines;
    --  Access to thousands of experts in health care and government in a
        searchable contact database as well as a state-by-state listing of
        Medicare-related resources; and
    --  A custom Medicare news widget that can be placed on any site free of
        charge.
Most importantly for journalists, all information provided on the site includes original source citations.

In addition to the site's aggregated and original content, MedicareNewsGroup.com has created a unique set of custom tools available to journalists to facilitate on-deadline production of high-quality Medicare stories, including a personalized, secure clip file feature and a deadline calendar. A daily newsletter sent to registered users provides a roundup of the day's most pressing stories and related content for more depth and understanding.

With journalists with various levels of experience covering Medicare-related topics each day, the program and its future are continuously in the public eye. But with rigorous deadlines and limited research budgets, it has become increasingly difficult for the media to provide the analysis and insight necessary to lead the national dialogue on Medicare and its future. The Medicare NewsGroup is a resource that helps resolve this issue.

"We understand that the resources in newsrooms have been squeezed. Medicare is a complex, frequently changing program that is vitally important to any discussion on politics, governance and deficit reduction," said co-publisher Ilyce Glink. "Medicare is one of the biggest line items in the federal budget and it is only getting bigger. There is an urgent need for clear insight and research on this topic that is accessible to journalists, congressional staffers, lobbyists and the public."

The Medicare NewsGroup is editorially independent and is a subsidiary of Park Avenue Media, which is also based in Glencoe, Illinois. Registration is free and is open to journalists and the public at large.

DALLAS, April 6, 2012  /PRNewswire/ -- Securus Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of inmate communication services and investigative technologies, today introduced Securus Video Visitation.  This revolutionary service is provided to correctional facilities and allows friends, family members, attorneys, and public officials to schedule and participate in visitation sessions with an inmate-from any PC connected to the internet.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100831/DA57799LOGO)

"We're excited to deliver Securus Video Visitation to the market alongside Secure Call Platform (SCP), supported by the industry's best customer service organization," said Russell Roberts, Vice President of Marketing and Strategy for Securus.   "Our Video Visitation system will help our facility customers provide scheduling, reduce current visitation traffic, and increase safety.  For inmates and friends and family, we already see visitation hours expanded when introducing web based visitation."

With increased visitations, more convenience and less cost, we're optimistic this could even favorably impact recidivism."

Because of our emphasis in serving the needs of friends and family members of inmates, Securus is uniquely capable of providing this critical support," said Danny de Hoyos, Vice President of Customer Service for Securus.

Screenvision Redefines the Movie-Going Experience With the First 2-Screen In-Cinema Advertising Pre-Show, The Limelight

Introducing Mobile Interaction Featuring Social Rewards and Gaming

Cinema Advertising Leader Debuts screenfanz Mobile App Empowering Advertisers to Complement Cinema Buys with Geo-Targeting, Social Connectivity, Gaming and Prizing

New Pre-Show Provides a More Impactful Environment for Branded Content

NEW YORK, April 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Screenvision, a leading innovator in cinema advertising and alternative content programming, is reinventing its long popular pre-movie marketing platform with the launch of The Limelight. The dramatically re-engineered in-cinema advertising pre-show - the first 2-screen configuration targeted to the big screen and mobile devices - will enable advertisers to fully capitalize upon mobile interactivity and social connectivity with their ad buys coast-to-coast.  The new 20-minute pre-movie content has also been re-engineered to provide a more impactful environment for the rapidly expanding universe of long-form content which helps brands deepen their narratives and relationships with consumers.

The free screenfanz mobile app is now available in the iTunes store, with companion website, http://www.screenfanz.com.  The app will be available for Android within a few weeks. A boon to consumers and marketers alike, it provides movie-goers with comprehensive movie information, the chance to check-in at theatres, share their reviews via Facebook, participate in trivia, accrue social status and points via in-app behaviors and have a chance to win prizes including movie tickets and concession cash.

The Limelight is not only breaking ground with its 2-screen, interactivity-centric implementation, but a reinvention of the modular flow of its 20-minute big screen presentation. The new program is designed to help brands use the immersive and impactful forum of the darkened movie theater, and its big screen, to engage in longer-form storytelling, brand messaging and narratives, ones that can unfold in multiple parts and be shared via social media.

"Our new pre-show brings together the immersive power of advertising on the silver screen with rich mobile interactivity, a marriage that will transform consumer engagement in the theater environment," states Travis Reid, CEO of Screenvision. "The Limelight will make movie-going more fun and involving for the audience, giving them a reason to arrive at the theater early and switch on their mobile devices to play trivia and share movie activity with Facebook friends, earn points and prizes, and much more.  For advertisers, it will make marketing a much more creative, cost-effective and immediate impact proposition, be they national, regional or local brands, choosing to involve consumers via mobile interactivity or long-form branded narratives.  This integrated platform fuels the creation of earned media across a very socially-connected consumer group, like no other."

"In today's fragmented, short-attention-span media universe, commercial friendly environments are an endangered species," continues Screenvision's Chief Revenue Officer Mark Mitchell, who also serves as President of The Cinema Advertising Council.  "At the same time, brand storytelling is more essential than ever.  To truly bond with consumers, brands need a forum where they can deliver their message in long-form to an immersed, undistracted audience.  This is something that The Limelight is uniquely designed to deliver."

As part of the re-engineering of the pre-movie programming, Screenvision produced a "pilot" of the new show complete with local, regional and national ads featured within the context of the new branding and consumer messaging. Screenvision partnered with several national advertisers including FedEx, Nestle Purina PetCare Company, Allstate among other advertisers to test several components of the new format, including longer form video and customized mobile interaction. These key brands who participated in the Limelight pilot research delivered 54% unaided ad recall with nearly half intending to purchase these brands in the next year.

Screenvision collaborated with Ipsos OTX MediaCT worldwide motion picture group on multi-phase research during the "pilot" to tailor and support the new mobile and long-form content centric pre-show, both qualitative and quantitative.

The results, among a nationally representative sample of 640 movie-goers, demonstrate this tech-savvy group, 76.1% of whom own a smartphone, are more than ready to "go mobile" with it during the time before the feature presentation. More than three-quarters said they would "definitely or likely" arrive at the theater earlier to watch more of the pre-show entertainment and participate in trivia, check into theaters, write reviews, play games and other behaviors to have a chance to win prizes including movie tickets and concession cash. The respondents nearly unanimously rated the Screenfanz app as "more all-encompassing" than current movie app offerings and 65% said they would tell their friends about the service.

Screenvision's expansive consumer reach and new engaging format makes it an enticing partner for organizations like the Ad Council and DoSomething.org, both premiering never before seen ads in cinema with Limelight.   

A new TV spot from the Ad Council and Dollar General Literacy Foundation's GED Achievement national public service campaign will debut in The Limelight through April 22.  "We are thrilled to collaborate with Screenvision on our GED campaign to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to achieve their full potential in life by obtaining their GED," said Peggy Conlon, president and CEO, Ad Council.  "Partnering with Screenvision will help raise awareness of this important issue to millions of Americans by featuring our messages for the first time in cinema theaters."

"Through our new partnership with Screenvision, the audience can learn stats about important social causes and use sms to sign up for more information and action opportunities while they're waiting for the movie to start," said Naomi Hirabayashi, Director of Marketing at DoSomething.org. "Buttery popcorn PLUS becoming a more socially conscious citizen? Double whammy."

Ipsos OTX MediaCT research conducted with Screenvision's The Limelight pilot also demonstrated that nearly nine out of 10 consumers (86.6%) welcome longer-form advertising in cinemas, a majority driven by men ages 30 - 39 (92.6%).  They were particularly responsive to ads that featured humor, multiple parts with a cliffhanger and also "event-like" spots, meaning ads that were made specifically for in-theater showcase, ones not seen before on TV. 

The reinvention of Screenvision's 20-minute pre-show begins with a new logo, graphics and color palette, one that complements the new name, The Limelight, as well as the clean, functional design aesthetics that are the standard for web and mobile services.   

In contrasting shades of cool lime green, the new logo is also three-dimensional and two-part, with the upper and lower portions of the Screenvision "S" functioning as independent visual units for animation and video, in theaters, on the web and mobile.  CMOR, the popular robot host of Screenvision's pre-show since 2010, has also received a modern makeover. He has emerged with a sleek, clean, airbrushed style, one in line with the design of the mobile device he wields in the 20-minute pre-show to familiarize and guide consumers through the in-theatre offerings and other information.  To facilitate understanding and immediate use of the many mobile-driven offerings, Screenvision's design team has created over two dozen customized icons, ones which consumers can use to jump to chat, trivia, awards, the theater concession menu and much more.

The strategy behind the comprehensive re-engineering of Screenvision's in-cinema pre-show, and its new screenfanz app and companion website, http://www.screenfanz.com, was developed by Lee Heffernan, Screenvision's Senior Vice President, Marketing and Lee Hunt. Hunt is the award-winning creative services veteran responsible for the branding of many of television's most successful brands, including Lifetime, VH-1, TNT and E!.  Heffernan and Hunt have worked together since the early '90s on numerous television brands. Their creative vision was brought to life by loyalkaspar, whose recent network branding credits include AMC, Current TV and Cloo. 

"When I first joined Screenvision, I saw the incredible marketing and branding opportunity to create an interactive pre-movie experience, one that already had an audience of over 40MM consumers each month," states Heffernan. "With their combined experience in strategizing strong brand positioning with equally distinctive visual images, I thought Lee and loyalkaspar were the right team to bring to life a vision and environment that could truly resonate with, and more importantly, entertain American movie-goers."

IDrive Online Backup Announces Launch of App Gallery

New IDrive App gallery showcases apps developed on the IDrive EVS cloud platform.

LOS ANGELES, April 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud storage provider IDrive has released public APIs for its EVS platform. EVS, which stands for Encrypted Versioned file System, is the foundation of IDrive's family of products. Developers are free to create apps using these APIs, without the burden of any upfront cost or licensing fees; all a developer needs to start up is an IDrive account, and a 5GB account is available completely free of charge. In order to spotlight developers' apps, IDrive has created an App gallery.

At launch, the gallery will include:

    --  IDrive Connect - map Google Docs to a Windows PC as if it were a regular
        folder
    --  Password Storage Vault - stores passwords, encrypts them with a private
        key, and then stores them in an IDrive account
    --  Microsoft Office Plug-in - backs up Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and
        Word files, in real-time. EVS allows for saving up to 30 versions of
        every file, which means a subscriber can restore files in case of
        "digital accidents"
    --  Primadesk - allows for searching, managing, and backing up of personal
        cloud data, all using a single interface.
Built with developers in mind, EVS is a cloud storage platform with a set of public APIs providing maximized security and encryption with built-in file versioning. These APIs can be used to create innovative applications for backup, storage, disaster recovery, and any number of other reasons that are scalable and require minimal coding. EVS was built in-house, from the ground-up, for IDrive. These powerful APIs make it easy to upload, retrieve, manage, and store data anytime, from anywhere on the Internet.

There are plenty support options for interested developers.  IDrive's EVS site is host to forums where developers can post their questions or offer solutions.  The development team is on hand to answer questions as well. It will even be possible for IDrive to actively promote successful apps; IDrive and the EVS team want to see developers succeed and looks forward to seeing what the community comes up with.

IDrive Online Backup is available for home and server editions of Windows and MacOSX and for mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Android Market.

Beat the Traffic 2.0 for iOS With New, Personalized Routes Hits the Streets

Popular mobile traffic app for the iPhone and iPad has been completely redesigned for easier use

- Travelers can now create individual traffic reports via MyRoutes, and earn rewards too -

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Beat the Traffic®, a leading provider of real-time traffic information for broadcast media and mobile devices, today released Beat the Traffic 2.0 for iOS mobile platforms, featuring a complete redesign, greater traffic coverage than before and the ability for users to save favorite routes and receive instant, personalized traffic updates. As a reward for being loyal customers, the new version of the popular mobile traffic app is first available in the Beat the Traffic Plus version on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices through Apple's AppStore and iTunes. Users who purchased Beat the Traffic Plus in the past can upgrade for free.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111108/SF02016LOGO)

Beat the Traffic 2.0 allows travelers to create and save their favorite routes and receive instant traffic reports before and during their commute. The new feature, called MyRoutes, provides one-screen access to personalized, door-to-door traffic reports that include commute times and are updated with real-time information about accidents and road delays. As traffic conditions change, MyRoutes will automatically notify users via text message and email, so users can modify their travel plans if possible. The free version of Beat the Traffic 2.0, to be released soon, will come with one free route on MyRoutes. By upgrading to Beat the Traffic Pro from within the app, users will be able to create as many routes as they need.

Like previous versions of Beat the Traffic - which recently surpassed two million downloads on iOS, Android and Blackberry platforms combined -  Beat the Traffic 2.0 still provides drivers with instant, detailed access to current road conditions, including accidents, congestion and road repair work, along with live camera views and the ability to report incidents from the road. Yet Beat the Traffic 2.0 has been completely redesigned with an even friendlier look and feel - including new screens, colors and icons - while providing a smoother user experience. Beat the Traffic 2.0 also includes real-time traffic data for a greater number of secondary streets throughout North America, providing motorists with more traffic information than ever before.

"As gasoline prices continue to rise, today's travelers are more concerned than ever about saving time and fuel," said Beat the Traffic CEO Andre Gueziec. "As a result, we reimagined what the ultimate traffic app should look like and what it should do, and then redesigned Beat the Traffic specifically to give users greater control. By making Beat the Traffic 2.0 more powerful and yet easier to use, we think it will appeal to our current fans as well as new, increasingly frustrated commuters who are looking for ways to Beat the Traffic."

Along with the real-time traffic details in more than 100 cities throughout North America, other new features of Beat the Traffic 2.0 include:

    --  Optimized for Apple's new Retina display feature on the iPhone and iPad
    --  Easier-to-use tools for reporting incidents from the road
    --  Ability to follow a user's location while traveling
    --  New 'satellite view' mode
Users can not only save money by using Beat the Traffic 2.0, but they can earn prizes, too. By participating in Beat the Traffic Mobile Rewards and simply using the mobile app and its features - such as checking one's personalized routes or using the map for 10 minutes or longer - travelers can earn points that they can redeem for gift cards from Amazon, iTunes and other merchants.

Beat the Traffic Plus is available right now on the Apple AppStore.

eBay and U.S. Postal Service Drive Shipping Innovation For Millions of Entrepreneurs, Small Businesses and Retailers

Delivering Shipping Innovation to eBay Sellers Earns eBay the U.S. Postal Service Partnership for Progress Award

ORLANDO, Fla. , April 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

eBay, the world's largest online marketplace, was recognized by the U.S. Postal Service this week for driving technology innovation with the USPS to make shipping and billing faster and easier for sellers on eBay. Patrick R. Donahoe, Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer, USPS, presented the prestigious Partnership for Progress award to eBay at the annual National Postal Forum.
eBay received the recognition for technology and financial innovations for eBay and USPS customers, driven by one-bill and one-click solutions for shipping costs and label printing. These innovations save customers large and small significant time and money, with almost 8 million labels generated during 2004, the year eBay and USPS joined forces to offer comprehensive, integrated shipping and label solutions. Since then, the program has grown tremendously.

"This is an example of eBay and USPS continuously improving the products, integration, and pricing for our customers," said Jay Hanson, vice president, eBay Managed Marketplaces, who accepted the award on Monday. "eBay's innovations are immensely popular because they allow our customers to save considerable time and money, whether they're an individual entrepreneur, a small business or a retailer. This ultimately means better and faster service for shoppers."

The prestigious award represents the USPS' dedication to recognizing innovation in a rapidly evolving technology environment. "eBay has been a true technology innovator, working with the USPS to help our customers save money while generating more than $800 million in postage last year alone," said the Postmaster General. "Our collaboration with eBay demonstrates the transformative power that technology can have for our industry."

The Partnership for Progress award recognizes eBay's ongoing enhancements to make shipping easier and simpler for sellers, and more reliable and affordable for buyers. A second program launched in October 2011 - eBay Fast 'N Free - delivers innovation to the customer experience by highlighting listings with free shipping and fast delivery time. Through extensive data mining that factors buyer and seller location, shipping history, and seasonality, eBay is able to identify listings that will arrive in four or fewer days. More than 3 million items have sold Fast 'N Free since the program launched.

Good Technology Chooses Veracode to Improve Mobile App Security

Branchfire's iAnnotate Is One of the First Apps to Benefit from Veracode's Partnership with the Good Dynamics Developer Network

BURLINGTON, Mass., April 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Veracode, Inc., the leader in cloud-based application security testing, today announced that Branchfire (http://www.branchfire.com) is one of the first companies to benefit from Veracode's participation as a Good Dynamics Developer Network (GDN) partner.  With roots in the mobile app development space, Branchfire is the maker of iAnnotate PDF, a powerful document annotation solution for mobile devices.

Through the partnership, Branchfire can develop and enhance its dynamic mobile productivity software using the Good Dynamics platform, then upload applications to the Veracode platform to identify and fix potential vulnerabilities that may pose a security risk.  This is especially important as Branchfire actively licenses its PDF library to developers who want to add robust PDF viewing and annotation capabilities to their applications.  Branchfire licensees can feel confident that the applications developed on the GDN platform have passed the Good Technology Mobile Application Security Policy, powered by Veracode. 

"Branchfire is committed to delivering the industry's most innovative, dynamic productivity tools. Our customers range from small software companies to large international corporations and premier educational institutions, so security is integral to our product," said Ravi Bhatt, CEO of Branchfire.  "Veracode and Good Dynamics simplify the process, seamlessly adding security into the development process. Our developers receive testing results that are accurate and actionable, allowing us to deliver the highest quality product, without dragging down the development lifecycle or extending time to market."

The Good Dynamics and Veracode Partnership at Work
As a GDN partner, Veracode allows developers using the Good Dynamics platform to upload applications to the cloud where they are analyzed for known and often unknown vulnerabilities, such as zero day vulnerabilities, and against security policies developed by Good Technology.  If vulnerabilities are discovered during the testing process, the Veracode platform provides recommended steps for remediation.  Once developers have remediated flaws, they will resubmit to ensure the app is free of critical weaknesses before it is made available to enterprises or consumers.  Good Technology believes secure coding, security testing and basic security precautions should not be an afterthought in today's rapid mobile app development process, and they chose Veracode to provide a higher level of assurance that all Good Dynamics apps meet their security policies.     

"Together with Good Technology, we are committed to further raising awareness about enterprise mobility security risks, while providing developers with the tools they need to  deliver more secure applications to market," said Pam Cyr, senior vice president, business development and strategic alliances, Veracode.  "We are proud to be a Good Technology partner that enables companies like Branchfire to further differentiate its solutions by raising the bar on the security of software being developed and leveraged by licensees."

About Branchfire
Extraordinary software begins with a high-caliber team of thinkers and builders that enjoy tackling tough challenges together. At Branchfire, their team includes diverse talents with unparalleled expertise in cognitive science, computer science, business, and communication. Branchfire is the company behind iAnnotate PDF, the most powerful document annotation solution for mobile devices.
