The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. Announces First Expansion Into China

Top U.S. Luxury Retailer Enters Asian E-Commerce Market in Partnership with Glamour Sales Holding (HK)

DALLAS and SHANGHAI, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Karen Katz, President and CEO of The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., announced today that the company is making a non-controlling strategic investment in Glamour Sales Holding (HK), a privately held e-commerce company.  This will be the company's first move into the fast-growing luxury retail market in China.

"We are taking this bold step to establish Neiman Marcus Group as an international brand," said Katz.  "Our strategic investment in Glamour Sales gives us a tremendous partner and a strong foothold in a rapidly expanding luxury market."

Through Glamour Sales Holding, Neiman Marcus Group intends to launch an e-commerce website by the end of 2012.  The site will feature an expertly curated mix of full-price, current-season offerings to reflect the discerning taste of the Chinese luxury customer.  The site will have editorial content, fashion expertise and behind-the-scenes videos to make it a reliable and indispensable source of valuable insights about featured luxury brands. 

Neiman Marcus Group will be investing $28 million in Glamour Sales Holding, to both help fuel the growth of Glamour Sales' existing and successful flash sales business in Asia and build a new branded e-commerce business.  The two companies will combine talent to create a new team in China who will oversee the development, launch and management of the new website. 

"We have a rich, century-long heritage with two prestigious brands - Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.  We believe that our vast experience and history of success in luxury and fashion, customer service and e-commerce, combined with Glamour Sales' keen understanding of the Chinese market, presents us with a unique opportunity to build a vibrant full-price, multi-brand, luxury online business in China," Katz added. 

Glamour Sales Holding, founded in 2009 by veteran entrepreneurs, Olivier Chouvet and Alain Soulas, and joined in 2010 by Thibault Villet, operates the leading, authorized flash sales websites in Asia: Glamour-sales.com.cn in China and Glamour-sales.com in Japan.  Flash sales, where online retailers provide a limited-time offer of high discounts on exclusive items, have proven to be tremendously successful in the European and U.S. markets.  Glamour Sales is one of the first and most successful e-commerce sites, working exclusively and directly with brands, to bring this business model to the Asian market.  Additionally, the Glamour Sales management team has more than half a century of cumulative experience in luxury brand management and development in Asia.

"We are delighted to be teaming up with the top luxury retailer in the world," said Olivier Chouvet, CEO of Glamour Sales.  "This partnership represents the coming together of two pioneers.  Neiman Marcus was the first luxury retailer to go online and Glamour Sales was the first to bring authorized flash sales to China.  Together we look forward to offering Chinese customers the best merchandise and service available.  And we will provide our customers with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that all of our luxury goods are authorized, authentic and sourced directly from the manufacturer."

About Neiman Marcus
Neiman Marcus, Inc. operations include the Specialty Retail Stores segment and the Direct Marketing segment. The Specialty Retail Stores segment consists primarily of Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores. The Direct Marketing segment conducts both print catalog and online operations under the Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Horchow brand names.  Information about the Company can be accessed at http://www.neimanmarcusgroup.com.

Interstate Capital Launches New Web Site at TIA Conference in San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tony Furman, president of Interstate Capital Corporation (ICC), announced today the unveiling of ICC's newest website, http://www.FreeMCAuthority.com at the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) Conference and Trade Show in San Antonio on March 22(nd) and March 23, 2012.  The TIA is the professional organization of the $162 billion third-party logistics industry.

By launching FreeMCAuthority.com at the TIA trade show, Interstate Capital plans to capture the attention of new motor carriers and owner-operators hoping to establish relationships with freight brokers and 3PLs attending the trade show.  FreeMCAuthority.com is a division of Check Freight Broker, LLC (CFB), the world's largest 100% free freight matching site.

According to Mr. Furman, "One of the most difficult challenges for small motor carriers and owner-operators is coming up with funding to bind insurance coverage.  Most policies require a 20% down payment, amounting to around $2,000 per truck.  FreeMCAuthority.com offers competitive trucking insurance options that require no out-of-pocket investment, allowing the small operator to keep that $2,000 in his pocket as an extra cushion of cash in case of emergency.  Our partner, Interstate Trucking Alliance, is a licensed insurance broker, able to quote insurance in all 50 states."

In addition to binding insurance with zero out-of-pocket cash, FreeMCAuthority.com also prepares interstate MC authority applications for FREE right from its web site.  Most competing sites charge a minimum of $75 to prepare the application, plus require the applicant to purchase other bundled services that can cost thousands of dollars.  FreeMCAuthority.com saw a need for a simple, FREE alternative to those sites, where the owner-operator just starting out can receive expert guidance by a licensed trucking insurance broker and pay only the $300 mandatory federal filing fee. 

CFB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Interstate Capital Corp., a factoring company specializing in freight bill funding and fuel advances for owner-operators and motor carriers.  Factoring companies provide working capital for trucking and other companies by advancing funds against freight bills and invoices.  From CheckFreightBroker.com, motor carriers are able to search for freight, obtain fuel advances when loaded, and receive 100% funding upon delivery without ever leaving the site.  CFB has posted over 6 million loads for thousands of freight brokers and has membership numbering in the tens of thousands of trucks.  Interstate Capital and CFB are members of the International Factoring Association (IFA) and the TIA.

Omnetics Announces Nano 360(TM) Connectors

Nano Connectors for rugged performance!

MINNEAPOLIS, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnetics' "Nano 360(TM)" connectors at .025" pitch, reduce size and weight by as much as 3x compared to standard .050" pitch circular connectors.  Current applications in the military and aerospace industry include helmet electronics, surveillance equipment, miniature robotic systems, and extend into portable medical equipment.  (One example is a six position circular connector that fits within a 1/8 inch diameter port on a high reliability portable search and rescue instrument.)  As new products require circuit miniaturization, they also demand smaller cable and connector systems.  To continue the robust performance expected for high reliability applications, Omnetics uses the key elements from their Mil-DTL- 32139 products.  This helps make some of the world's smallest ruggedized connectors.  To meet harsh environment, IP67 and other custom applications, Omnetics offers a number of standard designs and locking methods with pin counts from 2 to 28 positions.  Standard sizes include, 6, 11, 16, and 28 position connectors.  The unique polarized-insulator-bodies allow for both plastic and or metal shell connector design styles.  Threaded couplings, breakaway shells and twist-lock housings are ready for standard cable to panel mount interconnections.   Thirty-two gauge standard Teflon® insulated copper wire is offered from stock that handles nearly 1 ampere of current.  Nano-connectors routinely serve digital image transfer, audio, computer data and even drive current for small motors in robots.  In some circuits, high-speed cable is used and includes shielding connected to metal housings for EMI protection.  Solid model design and custom assembly expands the range of applications for use of ultra-miniaturized, rugged connectors.

Recondo Technology Announces General Availability of ZPay

- eCashiering Credit Card and Check Processing

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Recondo Technology announced today that Recondo® is adding credit card and check processing to its existing suite of healthcare revenue cycle solutions. Recondo is partnering with ZirMed Inc., to deliver this solution.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110627/LA26547LOGO)

ZPay is a web-based credit and debit card processing solution that complements existing healthcare revenue cycle workflows and eliminates slow Point-Of-Service terminals and shared phone lines, making the healthcare experience better for both the hospital and the patient. The solution allows hospitals to collect the patient financial responsibility quickly and easily, in a variety of settings and payment formats. Hospital staff can utilize ZPay onsite by using inexpensive card-swipe terminals connected to any internet-connected computer. Through a simple web-based interface, ZPay also empowers revenue staff professionals to processes payments that are mailed in or phoned in. With the inclusion of a customizable payment web-page that can be either standalone or integrated with an existing web presence, ZPay allows patients to pay their balances directly online. ZPay processes credit and debit cards, as well as check-based ACH transactions.

"Recondo is the market leader in helping hospitals communicate financial responsibility to patients at point-of-service," said Rick Adam, Recondo CEO. "We have found this to be very beneficial for patients who are interested in knowing what their co-pay and co-insurance amounts will be before their visit or procedure. Studies show that when billing occurs after service is provided, 60% of the time payment is not received. With the patient bill in hand at point of service, ZPay credit card swiping makes the overall interaction much faster and smoother."

"ZirMed® has made a significant Research and Development investment in streamlining the healthcare payment process," said Jim Lacy, ZirMed CFO and General Counsel. "We are very pleased to have Recondo offer these services to their clients."

More than 400 US hospitals use Recondo SurePayHealth® every day to protect and maximize revenue. From inception to date, SurePayHealth has calculated more than $500,000,000 for patients in consumer-directed health plans. Already, Recondo hospital customers collect significantly more than the Best Practice figure of two-to-three percent of patient financial responsibility prior to service. Combining ZPay and SurePayHealth will further increase up-front collections for Recondo. ZPay is now fully available to all Recondo customers.

About Recondo Technology

Recondo Technology delivers powerful software services connecting patients, providers, and payers across the spectrum of US healthcare. Recondo services bring efficiencies and cost savings to healthcare payment processing, which currently costs US healthcare a staggering $460 billion in annual expense. Recondo services automate the revenue cycle and payment cycle, from pre-scheduling to adjudication, with virtually no manual intervention.

Recondo/Trilogi Revenue Recovery Services provide technology-enabled services to help hospitals recover lost revenue from payer denials. Recondo/Trilogi® delivers superior revenue recovery results to hospitals across the United States.

Authorization/Denial Prevention (Auth-DP(TM)) increases cash flow by reducing a hospital's costly payer denials. Auth-DP identifies precertification requirements and authorization at the front of the revenue cycle, increasing authorization coverage and reducing denials by as much as 75 percent.

SurePayHealth®( )offers an accurate statement of patient financial responsibility at Point of Service, verifying patient identity, eligibility, and benefits, and accurately calculating the patient fee. After activating SurePayHealth, hospitals increase cash collections by tens of thousands of dollars every month.

EligibilityPlus(TM) gives hospitals the most complete view of government and commercial insurance benefits available in the industry. With a complete understanding of insurance benefits, hospitals immediately identify specific coverage, simplify patient registration workflows, reduce claim rework, and assess patient liability.

DenialManagement(TM) automates the process of retrieving the status of open claims, and allows hospital staff to segment claims conforming to the specific process adopted by each hospital, then work each claim by various priority standards. Claim Status significantly reduces the time and effort to identify, track, and process claims.

AT&T Invests More Than $2.3 Billion in Dallas-Fort Worth From 2009 Through 2011 to Improve Local Networks

Company Builds New Cell Sites, Boosts Capacity and Adds Fiber Optics to Enhance Networks

DALLAS, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* invested more than $2.3 billion in its Dallas and Fort Worth area wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2011 with a focus on improving the company's mobile Internet coverage and overall performance of its networks.

During 2011, AT&T made more than 1,650 wireless network upgrades in four key categories in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. These enhancements include:

    --  Activating nearly 15 new cell sites or towers to improve network
        coverage.
    --  Deploying faster fiber-optic connections to more than 800 cell sites.
        Combined with HSPA+ technology, these deployments enable 4G speeds**
    --  Adding capacity or an extra layer of frequency to cell sites - like
        adding lanes to a highway - with the addition of more than 825 of these
        layers, or "carriers".
    --  Upgrading more than 20 cell sites to provide fast mobile Internet
        speeds.

AT&T also launched its new 4G LTE network in Dallas last year, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds.

"Our goal is to deliver a network experience that mobilizes everything for customers," said Adam Vital, AT&T's Vice President/General Manager for North Texas.  "The ongoing investment we're making in the greater DFW area is designed to increase coverage and reliability, and to provide advanced services to our customers. Paired with our recent launch of our 4G LTE network in Dallas-Fort Worth, customers can use wireless technology to its full potential."

CNN Money recently recognized AT&T for enhancing its wireless network. Last year, AT&T completed 150,000 network enhancements across the country, more than triple the year before, giving customers more capacity and faster speeds, as well as improving 3G dropped-call performance by 25 percent.

AT&T plans to support the build or upgrade of thousands of cell sites nationwide to increase network speed, coverage and reliability for both mobile voice and mobile Internet services. In addition, AT&T plans to install additional radio "carriers" at thousands of cell sites nationally, enabling new layers of spectrum capacity to carry larger volumes of mobile broadband traffic. Additional capacity helps support rising mobile data traffic volumes, which continue to increase at a rapid pace.

AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with nearly 30,000 hotspots in the U.S., more than 745 hotspots in the Dallas area and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans. In 2011, customers made 1.2 billion AT&T Wi-Fi Connections, with 486.9 million connections in the 4th quarter alone.

AT&T recently launched "Focus: DFW," which provides visitors a peek into AT&T's wireless network enhancements made since the beginning of the year. Enhancements include new cell sites, broadband speed upgrades, capacity upgrades and network connection upgrades. The site also provides a map of area AT&T stores, a map of area Wi-Fi hotspots, useful tips, a localized Twitter handle and device reviews. The site can be found at http://focus.att.com/dfw .

For more information about AT&T's coverage in the DFW Metroplex or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer. Using the online tool, AT&T customers can measure quality of coverage from a street address, intersection, ZIP code or even a landmark.

WOW Analytics Releases Integration With Salesforce.com CRM, Available Now on the Salesforce.com AppExchange

GUILDFORD, England, March 21, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    WOW Analytics (http://www.wowanalytics.co.uk) market leading website visitor
identification tools have provided significant lead generation and sales advantage to its
customers since launching 18 months ago. The benefits of the solution have just increased
for customers using Salesforce.com CRM.

    WOW Analytics uses IP lookup technology to identify Companies as they visit a
customer's website, regardless of source. Using a market leading database of known company
IP addresses, WOW Analytics is able to match incoming web traffic at a high rate,
providing customers with great insight into the activities of prospect, customer, supplier
and competitor website traffic. Visitor data is then enriched through categorisation and
lead scoring of the website content viewed by each visitor.

    Once a Company is identified on a customer's website by WOW Analytics, Salesforce.com
users are now able, at the press of a button, to identify if this is a prospect they are
already talking to. If the CRM lookup returns no current matching records then a brand new
Lead is automatically created in Salesforce.com CRM, ready to be contacted by the
appropriate sales personnel. From this point forward the website activity of that lead is
visible immediately from within Salesforce.com CRM, with the additional benefit of putting
Leads in sales pipeline on "Watch". With a Company placed on Watch, WOW Analytics will
automatically notify the assigned sales personnel (by email) of any subsequent website
visits.

    Lee Chadwick, Managing Director of WOW Analytics Ltd, says, "A number of our existing
customers who use Salesforce.com had requested us to automate the process of looking into
CRM to see if the Company WOW has identified as being a website visitor was already in the
database, or was indeed a brand new lead. As well as benefiting our existing customers, we
are proud to announce that WOW Analytics is now available on the Salesforce.Com
AppExchange, and we have high expectations for this to drive new customers in our
direction."

tracking tools, integrated to Salesforce.com CRM. For further information, product

Unprecedented Speed of New "Digital" Harlequin RIP Gives Faster Return on Press Investment

Global Graphics Points to Increasing Success of Harlequin Host Renderer and Lines it Up for drupa (Hall 7.0, Stand 21)

ACTON, Massachusetts, March 21, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    The latest release of a new generation Harlequin RIP(R) gives unprecedented
performance to drive digital presses. Version 3 of the Harlequin Host Renderer
[http://www.globalgraphics.com/products/harlequin-host-renderer-sdk ], launched today by
Global Graphics Software, is now so fast that you can drive a broad span of digital
presses at full engine speed, only stopping for scheduled maintenance.

    The RIP is optimized to consume the vast amount of data that a print job requires
today whether it's the sharp increase in live transparency that you might see in
photobooks or the greater amount of variable data in personalized direct mail or
transactional printing. The result is that print shops using the Harlequin engine to drive
their presses will see a faster return on their investment and be in a position to take on
an increasing variety of print jobs.

    "Presses are getting faster and must be fed pages quickly enough to keep them running
at maximum speed in order to achieve a good ROI," says Martin Bailey, chief technology
officer, Global Graphics Software. "With the Harlequin Host Renderer as the engine in your
digital front end you can easily achieve this without sacrificing the correct, predictable
output and the high-quality color that you need to get repeat business. It's perfect for
many print sectors, from variable data labeling to personalized marketing materials, from
general commercial print to print on demand, so print shops will benefit from being able
to expand into new types of work."

    The speed achieved by version 3 of the Harlequin Host Renderer is due to a number of
significant new features each of which increases processing power so that pages pass
through the RIP at a faster pace than ever before. Harlequin VariData(TM) accelerates the
processing time of regular PDF files containing variable data including, but not only,
PDF/VT files; and Harlequin Parallel Pages(TM) allows the RIP to interpret one page while
it's still rendering the previous one. This allows print shops to take maximum advantage
of multi-core computers. The Harlequin Host Renderer is also available as a 64-bit build
to access additional memory when it's needed for pages with large amounts of data.

    The Harlequin RIP drives the HP Indigo digital press range as well as HP's IHPS high
speed web presses. It's to be found in an increasing number of digital press solutions
from light to medium volume up to ultra-high volume, including solutions from SIS and
Miyakoshi.

Xyratex Announces OneStor(TM) 2584: The Highest Density Storage Platform Solution Shipping in the Market Today

Ultra-dense storage solution designed for scale-out and scale-up applications

HAVANT, England, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Xyratex Ltd (Nasdaq: XRTX), a leading provider of data storage technology, today announced the OneStor(TM) 2584, an ultra-dense storage platform for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) providers targeting converged infrastructure solutions and scale-out storage systems for the cloud and data centers.

The vast amount of data generation and the need to store it show no signs of slowing down; meanwhile the complexities of storing large amounts of data present reliability, power management and floor space challenges. OneStor 2584 is designed to meet these data growth and management challenges with a flexible and scalable architecture that allows for greater reliability, serviceability, availability and lower total cost of ownership over the life of the product.

As the newest addition to the OneStor family, OneStor 2584 offers the most versatile enterprise storage solution design utilizing a modular, standards-based architecture that combines storage density, server integration, intelligent platform management and power efficiency.

"IDC predicts data storage usage will continue to grow at an aggressive pace and that 84% (over 147,000 petabytes) of the worldwide capacity estimated to be shipped in 2015 will be made of traditional unstructured data as well as data stored in cloud and content depots. With a growing proportion of this data designated as mission critical, the need for reliable data storage solutions in a highly dense footprint is compelling," said Benjamin Woo, Program Vice President, Worldwide Storage Systems at IDC. "The OneStor solution offers OEMs a flexible and scalable architecture in an industry leading ultra-dense form factor to address today's appetite for storage."

OneStor 2584's ultra-dense data storage architecture can deliver up to two petabytes of enterprise grade storage in a standard data center rack using today's 3TB drives, reducing complexity of multiple enclosures, increasing reliability with less cabling, and improving rack utilization by as much as 67% over current enclosure technologies. Each OneStor 2584 can pack up to 84 3.5" or 2.5" SAS or SATA hard disk or solid state drives into a five rack unit (5U) enclosure and boasts a high availability power supply design that has achieved a High Efficiency 80 PLUS® Gold Certification.

Two configurations are available:

    --  OneStor SP-2584 is ideal for digital media, compliance retention and
        near line data archive solutions. It is an ultra-dense modular storage
        enclosure which uses single or dual 6Gb/s SAS I/O modules, enables
        scale-up capacity architectures and supports 6Gb/s SAS end-to-end
        configurations providing an effective maximum throughput of up to 14.4
        GB/s.
    --  OneStor AP-2584 delivers an integrated server and storage architecture.
        The AP-2584 can support a diverse set of scale-out storage applications
        including Big Data analysis, converged infrastructure and virtual server
        integration into storage. It is an ultra-dense application platform that
        includes one or two embedded server modules, application power
        protection and storage and data network connections. When paired,
        embedded server modules can deliver more scale-out processing and/or can
        be configured for high availability.

Both OneStor 2584 configurations include Xyratex' Unified Systems Management (USM), an application programming interface (API) that provides access to active sensors, management of server and enclosure services and automated policy based actions for enterprise level reliability, availability and serviceability. USM is available across the OneStor family allowing OEMs to design management and diagnostic capabilities universally across their product lines. This simplifies development and testing and enables OEMs to quickly bring new storage solutions to market.

"As the pace of change continues to accelerate, innovation in storage technologies has become essential. The OneStor family of enterprise data storage solutions enables our OEM customers to provide investment protection and time to market advantages that end users expect," said Andy Morgan, Xyratex Business Line Manager. "Xyratex has a long history of providing innovative data storage solutions and the OneStor 2584 exemplifies our ability to alleviate the complexities of power and cooling in an ultra-dense form factor with enterprise quality, reliability and serviceability."

The OneStor 2584 is available exclusively through Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

    --  Activating approximately 35 new cell sites or towers to improve network
        coverage.
    --  Deploying faster fiber-optic connections to more than 900 cell sites.
        Combined with HSPA+ technology, these deployments enable 4G speeds.**
    --  Adding capacity or an extra layer of frequency to cell sites - like
        adding lanes to a highway - with the addition of nearly 475 of these
        layers, or "carriers."
    --  Upgrading more than 225 cell sites to provide fast mobile Internet
        speeds.
"It is good to see companies investing here in Tennessee," said Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey.  "We are working hard to make sure that Tennessee is a great place to do business, and today's announcement shows that we are getting results."

"This level of investment is good for Tennessee," said House Speaker Beth Harwell.  "Investment like this leads to job creation and economic growth.  With more access to faster technology on the go, it will help Tennessee businesses be more productive and it will help Tennessee families to stay connected.  This is great news."

AT&T Tennessee state president Gregg Morton said his company's local investment creates many advantages for the people of Tennessee. "A recent study by the NDN think tank found that innovation has driven continued investments to upgrade the wireless Internet infrastructure in America, including transitions from 2G to 3G and now from 3G to 4G," said Morton. "The world is going wireless, and this technology is enabling, empowering, enriching and enhancing lives at work, at play and everywhere in between. This investment has spurred significant new job creation and growth across all sectors of the economy and has fostered employment for U.S. workers."

"Our goal is to deliver a network experience that mobilizes everything for customers. The ongoing investment we're making in Tennessee is designed to increase coverage, reliability and to provide advanced services to our customers," said Chris Percy, vice president and general manager of Mobility and Consumer Markets for AT&T Tennessee and Kentucky.

CNN Money recently recognized AT&T for enhancing its wireless network. Last year, AT&T completed 150,000 network enhancements across the country, more than triple the year before, giving customers more capacity and faster speeds, as well as improving 3G dropped-call performance by 25 percent.

"Thanks to the work of our elected officials in the Tennessee General Assembly, including Lieutenant Governor Ramsey and Speaker Harwell, we are able to see the good news of investment today," said Ellen Thornton, Executive Director of the Tennessee Business Roundtable "Because of their work to ensure that Tennessee is great place to do business, we are able to see companies like AT&T continue to invest and build out their network right here in Tennessee.  This helps our state's economy grow and create jobs."

AT&T plans to support the build or upgrade of thousands of cell sites nationwide to increase network speed, coverage and reliability for both mobile voice and Internet services. In addition, AT&T plans to install additional radio "carriers" at thousands of cell sites nationally, enabling new layers of spectrum capacity to carry larger volumes of mobile Internet traffic. Additional capacity helps support rising mobile data traffic volumes, which continue to increase at a rapid pace.

AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with nearly 30,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

TraceSpan's VDSL Xpert(TM) Analyzer Supports G.Vector

Industry's only real-time passive VDSL multi-layer analyzer can now analyze and troubleshoot VDSL2 lines with Self-FEXT Cancellation

RA'ANANA, Israel, March 21, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    TraceSpan Communications, a leader in broadband analysis and monitoring solutions,
announced today the release of Self-FEXT Cancellation (G.Vector) module for its VDSL
Xpert(TM) analyzer.

    Self-FEXT Cancellation, also known as G.Vector, is standardized in the ITU-T G.993.5
recommendation, and allows significant rate improvements of VDSL lines by cancellation of
far-end crosstalk (FEXT) among signals from pairs in a bundle.

    The VDSL Xpert(TM) multi-layer analyzer provides a complete and accurate analysis of
VDSL2 product performance and interoperability with no affect of the data transfer between
the transceivers. Now, with its new G.Vector capability, VDSL Xpert(TM) allows its users
to validate the performance improvement achieved by G.Vector, verify G.993.5 compliance of
their VDSL2 equipment and chipsets, find and analyze problems related to G.Vector prior to
their field deployment, and troubleshoot such problems on live networks in the field.

    The latest VDSL Xpert(TM) version also adds new capabilities for troubleshooting
issues related to multi-pair bonding, which is another key factor in extending service
rate and reach over copper lines.

    "Extending data rates on the copper infrastructure is a key success factor for today's
telecom operators, and G.Vector is one of the means to achieve this," said Dr. Hanan
Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO. "VDSL Xpert(TM) can now help our customers maximize
the performance of their copper lines by troubleshooting G.Vector-related problems quickly
and easily, thus assuring service reliability and customer satisfaction."

    With its unique multi-layer probing capability, VDSL Xpert(TM) provides comprehensive
analysis with various outputs - from analog samples to bits and messages. In addition, it
extracts the upper layers cells and packets and provides data, signaling and warnings of
incompatibility with the various protocols. The supported protocols range from PTM,
through network layer protocols such as IP and IGMP, and up to application layer protocols
such as HTTP. VDSL Xpert(TM) simultaneously presents downstream and upstream data and the
connection between the two. Its feature-rich GUI presents multi-layer information in
convenient displays, and also allows automatic generation of exportable reports.

Ortsbo(TM) Initiates U.S. Patent Process for New e-Reader Language Translator App, Now in Beta

Leader in Online Real-Time Translation Set to Enter Exploding e-Reader Market With Exclusive Text-to-Text and Text-to-Speech Translation in 53 Languages

TORONTO, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ortsbo.com, the leader in real-time experiential communications and a subsidiary of Intertainment Media Inc., today announced that it has applied for U.S. patent protection for its new e-Reader translator application. The app, now available in closed Beta, will transform the e-Reader industry by making it possible to instantly translate--in the user's choice of text or audible speech--anything that can be loaded into the most popular e-Reader platforms.

Ortsbo's new multi-language translation tool will support almost any iOS, Android or Windows-based desktop, smartphone, mobile and portable computing device including Apple iPads and other tablets. The app, which can be viewed in demo format at http://ortsbo.com/link/ will initially provide text-to-text and text-to-speech translation in German, French and English, with a total of 53 languages ultimately supported.

Tablets and dedicated e-Readers continue to shape the computing landscape both in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., a January 2012 survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project revealed that 19% of adults now own a tablet computer and 19% own an e-Book reader--figures that are up from 10% reported ownership for both devices in research conducted just two months prior. Yankee Group Research shows that the Asia-Pacific region will come on strong in the next two years as well, accounting for 58% of all tablet revenue by 2014 and far outpacing the EMEA region at 18%.

IDC reports that global tablet shipments in Q4 of 2011 reached 28.2 million units, with 155% year-over-year growth. Total global revenue for tablets are expected to reach $46 billion in 2014 according to Yankee Group, while IDC predicts global shipments to reach 198.2 million by 2016.

"Ortsbo is committed to extending its expertise to all places where language is a barrier. The soaring popularity of tablets and dedicated e-Readers makes them a natural next step for us," said David Lucatch, CEO of Ortsbo Inc. "The world is becoming a very small place, and valuable content comes in all forms and languages. We look forward to supporting and advancing these changes by creating truly global reading platforms for our users."

Ortsbo's new e-Reader application will translate suitable material back and forth between any of its supported languages. In addition to text, the app provides audio translation if desired. The application will correctly translate accent marks, allowing true translations in French, German, and other languages that feature multiple accents. Text translated to speech is produced by a human sounding voice that mimics the enunciation of the chosen language's native speech.

"In an increasingly mobile and barrier-free world, it's important to provide individuals with the right set of tools to succeed," noted Lucatch. "With the Ortsbo e-Reader app, individuals will be able to share content in multiple languages and even use the text-to-speech function to turn their tablet into a hands-free content presenter. It equips both individuals and businesses with a powerful tool that enables content to be seamlessly shared without any limitations based on the reader's native language."

Ortsbo is best known for its technologies that provide and support real-time translations of online chats, email and the most popular social media communications. Since the beginning of 2012, use of Ortsbo services has erupted, showing a 167% increase since November 2011 and passing the 107 million unique user mark.

About Ortsbo.com

Now with over 100 million unique users in over 170 countries and territories, Ortsbo (http://www.ortsbo.com) enables real-time conversational translation for more than 50 languages.  Ortsbo's flagship product for social media supports global communications with instant translation capability and real-time, multi-lingual social media chat.

Ortsbo, based in Toronto and with offices in Los Angeles and New York, is a subsidiary of Intertainment Media (http://www.intertainmentmedia.com).

On February 28, 2012, Intertainment Media announced that Intertainment and its Board of Directors have reviewed various options for the spin out of its subsidiary Ortsbo Inc., and have elected to proceed with a transaction structure that it believes will be the most favorable to the current security holders of Intertainment.

WRAPmail Releases Toolbar for Gmail, AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WRAPmail (http://www.WRAPmail.com) (OTC: WRAP) a provider of free and enterprise email branding solutions, today announced that they have made available a toolbar for users of Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail/Windows Live and Microsoft Outlook. The toolbar is available for Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Explorer and Safari.

The toolbars are all available at http://www.wrapmail.com/faq.html

The idea behind WRAPmail is to utilize the facts that all businesses and most individuals have websites and/or belong to one or more social networks. Furthermore we all send emails every day. With WRAPmail these emails can for businesses become branding tools and for individuals they can all have one or more personal interactive stationaries surrounding the text. Personal WRAPs can for example have images/links to Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and LinkedIn.  A WRAP consists of images and embedded links and is 100% customizable by the users so whether one wants to promote one's business offerings or simply create a party invitation it is all possible in the WRAPmaker which is part of the WRAPmail Dashboard.

Windows Live/Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and AOL have almost 1 billion email users among them.

All of these users are now able to send WRAPPED emails directly from their browser. WRAPmail's toolbar automatically downloads the users default WRAP but also allows for WRAP selection on the fly.

Users can sign up at http://www.wrapmail.com and then log in and create a WRAP from scratch or from ready- made templates. Ready-made templates are being added daily and templates for all major Network Marketing Companies (MLM) are already available combined with a library of social network icons that the user can customize with their own link.

WRAPmail Solutions:

    1. WRAPmail PRO: Our free shared solution that will have advertising from
       other WRAPmail clients incorporated. Not only is the solution free and
       the ads will not interfere with the WRAP (unless the user wants it to)
       but WRAPmail will share 25% of the Advertising revenue with the user.
    2. WRAPmail PRO+: Shared solution, $50/user/year. No 3rd party ads unless
       the client opts in to the Adshare program. These users will be able to
       select the advertisers/ads they want displayed in or around their WRAPS
       if they opt-in for Adshare.
    3. WRAPmail Enterprise: Dedicated solution, $3,500/year plus $40/year per
       user. WRAPmail will host a dedicated Server for each Enterprise client
       and this solution has all the features of the shared solution plus a
       Campaign Module for sending email campaigns. There is no extra charge for
       using the campaign module and we believe there is a brand new market
       opportunity for WRAPmail with this solution with the heavy users of
       Newsletters and mass mailings. The major differentiator between WRAPmail
       and companies offering mass email solutions is the fact that WRAPmail
       emails get delivered without the Red X and message to download images in
       email clients. WRAPs also do not look like posters but rather like
       regular emails framed in images with embedded links.
With this new business model we have added a payment interface so it is easy to sign up with a credit card or upgrade from PRO to PRO+ the same way.

Sign up for WRAPmail with Facebook

New users can now sign up in a few seconds using their Facebook data by simply clicking on the Facebook signup from our home page. The direct link is: https://pro.wrapmail.com/wrapmaildotnet/signup/facebooksignup.aspx

Advertising

WRAPmail is releasing a new model where users can advertise in other user's emails. The concept is a mix between similar models from Facebook and Google but the difference is our focus is email and not websites. An advertiser can have a free account and there's no usage requirement to become an advertiser. Advertisers simply create their ad in the WRAPmail Dashboard; pick City, State, Country and/or Industry of other users for placement of ads. Minimum rates (which users can increase for better placement) are $1 CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) and $0.10 CPC (cost per click) and advertisers can set monthly budgets.

Adshare program

WRAPmail will very soon launch its ad-revenue share program where users who opt in can make money with every regular email they send. The concept is similar to Google AdSense but where that program is focused on displaying ads on websites we focus on pushing ads out with regular emails.

Game Face Gaming, Inc. 10k for the Year Ended December 31, 2011 is Filed with the SEC and available online

VALLEY STREAM, N.Y., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Game Face Gaming, Inc. (OTC.BB: IKCC),announced today that since beginning its Beta trials in September 2011 and since releasing version 2.0 in December of 2011, that it has successfully demonstrated the Company's abilities to deliver a new and unique online social gaming experience. FaceUp Gaming is a legal non-wagering online gaming platform (http://www.FaceUpGaming.com). Today, none of the subscription based online gaming sites offer players the ability to see one another and speak live during game play.

Mr. Felix Elinson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer stated "the Beta trials have been most informative and have provided invaluable information and feedback from the over 2,000 individuals that have signed up and are playing on the site.  We are rapidly approaching the end of Beta, and have made upgrades and tweaks based on user comments and feedback.  We are extremely excited with the results to date and feel that we're just about ready to complete this phase and make the platform available to the public. A decision on release will be made in the coming days. I am also pleased to announce that the Company has  filed its annual report on form 10k, a full ten days early, with the Securities and Exchange Commission." 

Game Face Gamingis committed to responsible game-play and is not a gambling site. "Our goal is to maintain the thrill of online games while keeping it safe for everyone.  Our social networking functionality provides the user base with the ability to grow their circle of friends beyond those they physically reach day to day. Our users sit down to play a game and more often than not leave making a connection with a stranger which is then maintained via our social network functionalities," stated Mr. Elinson.

Forward-Looking Statement

Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The words "believe," "enhanced", "excited," "anticipate," "successfully," "project," "forecast," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect", "unique", and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include our ability to identify and in-license and the ability to adequately fund such targeted acquisitions. Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by Game Face Gaming, Inc with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Only on Netflix:  Premier Horror Suspense Director Eli Roth Reanimates the Gothic Novel With "Hemlock Grove"

From the critically-acclaimed novel by Brian McGreevy, "Hemlock Grove" updates classic monster archetypes for a post-industrial America in a tale of alienation, adolescence and murder

Episodes begin exclusively on Netflix in early 2013

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Hemlock Grove," a gripping tale of murder, mystery and monsters set in a ravaged Pennsylvania steel town, starring Famke Janssen and Bill Skarsgard and produced by Gaumont International Television, will be available for Netflix members to watch instantly, beginning early in 2013.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101014/SF81638LOGO)

"Hemlock Grove" starts with the body of a young girl, mangled and murdered in the shadow of the former Godfrey steel mill. Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a biotech facility owned by the former steel magnates. Others believe the killer could be Peter, a 17-year-old Gypsy kid from the wrong side of the tracks, who tells his classmates he's a werewolf. Or it could be Roman (Skarsgard), the arrogant Godfrey scion, whose sister Shelley is disturbingly deformed and whose mother, Olivia (Janssen), the otherworldly beautiful and controlling grand dame of Hemlock Grove.

As the crime goes unsolved and outlandish rumors mount, Peter and Roman decide to find the killer themselves, confronting unspeakable truths about themselves and Hemlock Grove as the mystery unfolds.

"Eli Roth is a master of this genre and Brian McGreevy's brilliant novel gives Roth a world where he can create his magic," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer.   "'Hemlock Grove' is a sly blend of J.D. Salinger and Mary Shelley and will appeal to a broad base of fans captivated by these rich characters and stunning visuals."

"I've been waiting for years to dive into television, and Eric Newman and I founded Arcade to do elevated genre projects exactly like 'Hemlock Grove'.  Brian McGreevy's novel blew me away, and the material lends itself perfectly to long format storytelling.  'Hemlock Grove' is smart, dark, complex, and at times terrifying," said Eli Roth.

He added: "What's most exciting to me is creating the series for Netflix, which as a feature filmmaker is like telling a story in a new medium.  Netflix as a platform is the perfect hybrid of cinema, television, and social networking, with the creative freedom to go as dark as the story needs."

The 13 episode first season of "Hemlock Grove" is Roth's first foray into serialized drama as a director and executive producer. Roth created the Hostel franchise, directing seven major motion pictures, producing 13 and appearing in several hit films, including a stand-out role as Sgt. Donny Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds".

Janssen (Olivia Godfrey) is an actress, director and screenwriter who played Dr. Jean Grey in the global blockbuster "X-Men" trilogy and starred alongside Kenneth Branagh and Judy Davis in Woody Allen's "Celebrity". Janssen can soon be seen in "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" alongside Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton and in "Taken 2" with Liam Neeson. Her debut film as a director and screenwriter, "Bringing up Bobby", starring Milla Jovovich, Bill Pullman and Marcia Cross, opens in the United States in October.

Skarsgard (Roman Godfrey) is an up and coming Swedish actor, who will soon be seen alongside Keira Knightley and Jude Law in director Joe Wright's  "Anna Karenina." Previously, Skarsgard has played a wide range of roles in Swedish television and independent films, including the critically-acclaimed "Simon of the Oaks" directed by Lisa Ohlin.

"Hemlock Grove" is executive produced and written by McGreevy, author of the FSG Originals novel, and Lee Shipman. Other projects they have in development include the Bram Stoker adaptation "Harker" for Warner Brothers and Appian Way, the King Arthur epic "Pendragon" for New Regency, and "Zorro Reborn" for 20th Century Fox.

Also executive producing are Eric Newman, producer of such films as "The Last Exorcism," "Dawn of the Dead" and "Children of Men," Michael Connolly, co-producer of "How to Train Your Dragon," and Mark Verheiden, co-executive producer of "Battlestar Gallactica" and other shows. 

"It is an honor to be working with Eli Roth, a director whom I've admired for years, along with Brian McGreevy & Lee Shipman and the team at Netflix on this series," commented Gaumont International Television chief executive officer Katie O'Connell.  "Netflix is the perfect platform for this exhilarating reinvention of the gothic mystery story.  From day one, our mandate at Gaumont International Television has been to the produce high-quality drama programming for the U.S. and international markets and 'Hemlock Grove' certainly fits the bill."
