Spectrum Provisions Bring Consumer Benefits, New Investments, Much-Needed Public Safety Tools

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have agreed on legislation authorizing and funding the reallocation of broadcaster spectrum for commercial wireless use and the deployment of a nationwide interoperable public-safety broadband network. The following statement should be attributed to Peter Davidson, Verizon senior vice president for federal government affairs:

"Upon passage of this legislation, Congress will set the stage for a new period of American innovation, investment and job creation. By bringing new wireless spectrum to market via incentive auctions, and laying the groundwork for our nation's interoperable wireless public-safety network, American consumers and citizens will be well-served.

"With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, as well as wireless data growth, there is a critical need for additional spectrum for mobile broadband use.   The FCC estimates that mobile-data demand will grow between 25 and 50 times current levels within five years.  Spectrum auctions will ensure that much-needed spectrum is brought to market to meet consumer demand.   

"The spectrum auctions also will unleash new investment and job growth.  Over the past 15 years America's wireless industry has invested more than $300 billion to build out the world's best wireless networks. Verizon alone invested $9 billion in 2011 to deploy the world's first nationwide 4G LTE wireless network. Wireless providers employ more than a quarter million Americans; the industry as a whole is responsible for 2.4 million jobs, and it's estimated that more than 200,000 new jobs could be created within a year as consumers adopt 4G technologies.

"Finally, by creating an interoperable, nationwide broadband public-safety network, Congress is delivering on a commitment to give our first responders the tools to keep our fellow citizens safe.

"We thank Chairmen Rockefeller, Upton, Walden and Kerry, and Ranking Members Hutchison, Waxman, Eshoo and DeMint for their focus and dedication in putting this legislation in place. This was a bipartisan effort, with many advocates, including FCC Chairman Genachowski, and a number of consumer, business and policy organizations that highlighted the need for more spectrum. We encourage Congress to move quickly to pass this legislation."

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ), headquartered in New York, is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to consumer, business, government and wholesale customers.  Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, with nearly 109 million total connections nationwide.  Verizon also provides converged communications, information and entertainment services over America's most advanced fiber-optic network, and delivers integrated business solutions to customers in more than 150 countries, including all of the Fortune 500.  A Dow 30 company with $111 billion in 2011 revenues, Verizon employs a diverse workforce of nearly 194,000.  For more information, visit http://www.verizon.com.

TripAlertz Deal Distribution System(TM) Aggregates the Aggregators

Hoteliers now reach millions of global Daily Deal customers through TripAlertz Travel Solutions' private sales network

BOSTON, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The power of social media and the Internet, combined with travelers' endless appetite for great deals, is driving exponential demand for flash-sales and private-sales of hotels and other travel products. This has left the travel industry navigating the challenges that come along with this rapidly changing, booming new marketplace - a market that's ripe with opportunity, and which is the fastest-growing sector of e-commerce globally. In a commitment to solving these challenges, TripAlertz Travel Solutions now offers a customizable twist on the traditional Global Distribution System (GDS): the first-ever Deal Distribution System(TM) (DDS).

"The DDS has been designed to 'aggregate the aggregators,' which allows hoteliers to move large volumes of unsold inventory to an international network of private member websites," explains Mark Donohue, Chairman and CEO of TripAlertz Travel Solutions. "In most situations, hotels can avoid GDS fees and even credit card fees, which can greatly improve yield."

The DDS already reaches a private network of more than 10 million customers in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, United Kingdom, Russia, Mexico and more, offering a free-to-use, fully automated way for hotels to discreetly sell excess inventory through the daily deal space worldwide. Distributions can be customized for hotels' needs and are fully underwritten by TripAlertz Travel Solutions, including options like:

    --  Global geographic targeting with the ability to custom-design
        distribution;
    --  Providing add-ons or even "opaque" pricing to protect rate parity;
    --  Date-specific offer windows that drive bookings only during need
        periods;
    --  Travelzoo Top 20(TM) listings, for select, mutually agreed offers;
    --  Access to TripAlertz's targeted affiliate publisher networks;
    --  Expert SEO/SEM/CPC support and more resources to optimize yield.
Travel suppliers have the flexibility to set these options and differentiate their inventory through a turnkey, fully automated Deal Management Console(TM) (DMC). This is the only platform in the world that offers two options for redeeming reservations - either booking real-time, or alternatively booking with the flexibility of a voucher - unlike the challenges presented by virtually all flash sale sites of only redeeming coupons. This reduces headaches and service for hoteliers, and gives the consumer greater confidence in buying, since a confirmed reservation is available.

"This creates new rules for flash selling, equipping hoteliers with a powerful new tool to effectively drive real-time bookings or confirmed bookings, which allows hotels to better manage their revenue optimization and margins," notes Donohue.

The DDS offers no up-front marketing costs to registered and approved suppliers, with TripAlertz's margins set lower than those of the leading online travel agencies and daily deals sites.

TripAlertz Travel Solutions' DDS is expected to reach more than 30 million weekly customers in various markets by the end of 2012. The company aims to engage in year-round contracts with all of its supplier partners to provide long-term relationships that support revenue needs with customized solutions, which will be listed in its Top Destinations section of its site and its distribution partners.

Alternative to Foursquare- LoSo Users See Live News Feed & Videos From Bar & Restaurant Patrons

Real-Time Going Out App Announces Version 2.0 Release

Fast Growing, Location-Based Social Media App Rolls Out Complete Redesign And Plenty Of New Features, Offering Real-Time Happenings At Area Restaurants And Bars, Unique Customer Loyalty Rewards System; 'Local Advertising Revolution' For Restaurant And Bar Owners

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LoSo, Inc., a location-based social media app that shows you what is around you, what is going on and rewards you for going out, today announced the release of its version 2.0 app. The most significant 2.0 enhancement includes a complete redesign of the app, featuring user profiles and real-time news feed displaying what's going on around the user at specific restaurants, bars, or clubs. The new version also offers an enhanced What's Up! function that allows users to upload a message, photo or video alerting others about what is going on around them.

According to Rich Rodgers, LoSo Founder and CEO, the new What's Up! feature is the first of its kind in the app world, allowing users to post not only location-based messages and photos, but also location-based video messages. "This is just another great way for users to see what is going on and share what is up with everyone on LoSo, as well as Twitter and Facebook," he said.

"LoSo's focus is to go one step further to let our users know what's going on in real-time at their favorite places through social media and user messaging," Rodgers said. "With LoSo's latest version 2.0, users can check out regularly posted, real-time messages posted on FaceBook, LoSo and Twitter from thousands of places to see what's happening at the places around them. It also adds an element of social functionality, letting you share with others what is going on at that moment, and to see what people are saying in real-time about what is going on at these locations prior to going out."

Before hitting the town, LoSo users can check out every restaurant and bar within a 10-mile radius, he said. "You can view food and drink specials, happy hours, live music schedules, contests and more, all in real-time," he said. "If someone is tweeting about that place, you'll see it immediately."

Founded in 2010, LoSo combines the best features of Foursquare, Yelp, OpenTable and Citysearch, and expands on them to deliver the ultimate real-time going out guide. LoSo has the largest social media connected places database featuring live Facebook and Twitter feeds from more than 270,000 bars and restaurants, showing users what's happening near them that night, and ranking places for popularity based on the number of people who check in there. Users can navigate an interactive map of local venues, check in to a favorite spot, leave posts letting friends know where they are and what's happening at a place at that moment, and gain rewards for going to their local restaurants or favorite bars from the app's QRewards QR code.

Unlike other local apps which display "directories" of places, LoSo wants to give people more by also incentivizing their visits. Designed to not just get patrons in the door, but to keep them coming back, LoSo's Restaurant QReward Points are good for free drinks, food, prizes and more from local businesses. Every time a customer scans a restaurant or bar's loyalty rewards QR code powered by LoSo's QRewards system they earn 10 Rewards Points. Restaurants and bars that subscribe to LoSo's Dashboard marketing program can create their own reward offerings. "We are seeing clients coming up with some amazing rewards from free appetizers for 20 points, VIP tickets for 40 points, or even an iPad for 1000 points," said Claire O'Keefe, LoSo Marketing Manager.

LoSo is seeking to change the way restaurants and bars are running loyalty rewards with its QRewards QR code rewards platform powered by the Dashboard and run through our mobile app.  "We have seen thousands of users download the LoSo app from just a handful of locations and our clients have had great success using our Dashboard and QRewards with an increase of up to 45% repeat visitors in a two month trial with many customers having been there at least four to ten times scanning our QRewards code," said O'Keefe.

LoSo has been well received by restaurants and users in its first test market areas, Philadelphia and Boston over the past year. The company plans to expand to Washington, D.C., Chicago and Dallas in the spring, followed by three new cities next fall.

LoSo offers many benefits to restaurant and bar owners too with its all-in-one marketing program-the LoSo Dashboard. "For $150-$250 per month, we replace Constant Contact or whatever email company they use, we introduce mobile/SMS marketing, enable them to run loyalty rewards and make social media simple," said Rodgers.  "We save our clients hundreds of dollars while adding thousands of VIPs to them through our loyalty QRewards and traditional VIP card processing."  Clients are able to market to these VIP users from the LoSo Dashboard email or SMS messaging systems.

The new 2.0 version app is expected to be available for the iPhone and Droid in the iTunes app store by February 1, 2012. For more information about LoSo, visit http://www.LoSo.Net.

iCracked Helps Overseas Soldiers Stay Connected With Family Through DIY iPhone Repair Services

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iCracked Inc., the nation's largest iPhone repair company, boasts an impressive 100+ iTech locations across the country, including six international locations in Canada and one in South Africa, with this list rapidly growing. But there is one area that iCracked unfortunately cannot reach with its iPhone repair technicians: the warzone.

With more than 200,000 personnel serving overseas, the United States military has a tough job of keeping all of its forces in touch with their family and friends back home. Although many overseas military personnel have access to phones to call home, none of them have the ability to repair these phones when they are damaged, severely limiting or completely preventing our armed forces from keeping in contact with their family and friends. iCracked first learned of this problem when the company received the following message in 2011:

Hi, I'm in the Air Force and currently deployed right now. I broke my screen and the home button is gone. Do you have a kit to replace the screen and home button? Can you please get back to me ASAP, so I could get this fixed and stay in contact with my family.

The second iCracked received this message, the company vowed to sell their iPhone repair and iPod Touch repair DIY Kits to all military personnel at half of their standard retail price. In addition to this, iCracked ships all purchases made by American armed forces for free, no matter where they are stationed, abroad or in the U.S.

iCracked also offers the same discounts and free shipping to all peace officers, including police and fire men and women. iCracked also offers package deals for entire police or fire stations located within the U.S.

Lexus GS Takes on Curves of SI Swimsuit Model Tori Praver with TORI 500 Racing Game App

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- What do you get when you cross a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model with a hot new sports car? One cool app. Lexus and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit have fans revving their engines with the release of Lexus' new TORI 500 racing app, available at Lexus.com/tori500 and iTunes.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120216/MM54671 )

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/LA46302LOGO )

The app brings to life an actual racetrack the automaker created in the shape of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Tori Praver's body. Players of the TORI 500 game get to see what it's like to race the all-new 2013 Lexus GS sport sedan around a larger-than-life, 3-D image of the supermodel.

The game is part of a multi-faceted print and online campaign supporting Lexus' role as the Official Automotive Marketing Partner of SI Swimsuit and launch week. The Lexus team began by photographing Tori--being sure to capitalize on her curves--in poses that mimicked the angles and curvature of a true racetrack. The images of Praver were then photomapped and used to design the racetrack with the digitized version providing the game environment for the iOS application.

From there, a live 1-to-1200 inch scale track was created and two of the world's best professional drivers, racecar driver Scott Pruett and stunt driver Greg Tracy, competed to post the best time and win a victory lap with Tori. A behind-the-scenes video of both the photo shoot and the race is available at Lexus.com/tori500.

Additional elements of Lexus' SI Swimsuit partnership include:

    --  SUPERMODELED - A camera app allowing people to place the swimsuit model
        into their own photos with the click of a button (also available at
        Lexus.com/tori500 and iTunes)
    --  Print and Online Components - Executions include a four-page spread in
        the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and custom tablet integrations
        featured on iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Xoom and Nook.
    --  Launch Week Events - Lexus participation in the marquee New York launch
        event and SI's two Las Vegas events, SI Swimsuit On Location and Club SI
        Swimsuit. Additionally, the automaker is the exclusive presenting
        sponsor of the first-ever, two-day Beauties & Beats Music Festival,
        happening at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Feb. 15 -16.
About Lexus   Since its debut in 1989, Lexus has earned a reputation for high-quality products and exemplary customer service from its 229 dealers. Lexus is the luxury hybrid leader, offering four hybrids that provide the best in innovative technology and first-class luxury. When it began, Lexus offered two models of vehicles.

Central Park Zoo and Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park Turn On Free AT&T Wi-Fi

New Signage at All Locations Will Continue to Increase Awareness Among Park Visitors

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park and Manhattan's Central Park Zoo are the 18th and 19th New York City park locations to turn on free AT&T* Wi-Fi service. The company announced a partnership with the Bloomberg Administration last June to offer the service in parks across the five boroughs. The wildly popular initiative, which even in the off-season has seen parks visitors making more than 4,000 connections per day, allows any Wi-Fi enabled smartphone and tablet user regardless of carrier to connect to the AT&T Wi-Fi network. In addition, the New York City Parks Department is placing signs at each location to increase awareness among visitors.

Brooklyn tourists and residents can access Fort Greene Park's Wi-Fi near the visitor's center.

Visitors to the Central Park Zoo will have access to AT&T Wi-Fi by the main entrance, food court and central garden areas.

"This initiative has been a huge success and we're thrilled that visitors to New York City's most popular parks can stay connected all year round," said Tom DeVito, AT&T vice president and general manager for New York and New Jersey. "We look forward to bringing even more parks online in the coming months so that more smartphone and tablet users can take advantage of this service."

The launch is part of a five-year digital initiative with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the City of New York to provide free Wi-Fi at 26 locations in 20 New York City parks across the five boroughs. In addition to Fort Greene Park and Central Park Zoo, New Yorkers can now access free AT&T Wi-Fi at many other park locations across all five boroughs including:

St. Louis Digital Marketing Agency Publishes Free SEO Guide

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolve Digital Labs, a St. Louis-based digital marketing agency, has assembled a useful resource for novices of Search Engine Optimization. This document, appropriately titled the SEO Guide for Beginners, provides an overview of search engine operations, on-site components of web pages, and various strategies for improving visibility in the search engine results pages (SERPs). Essentially, it is the ultimate resource for the question "How to SEO?"

Derek Mabie, President of Evolve, initially decided to create this downloadable white paper because he noticed that there was a lack of resources available to those interested in learning more about SEO. It also provided the brand with the opportunity to display its expertise on the subject. "We wanted to convey that Search plays a dominant role in marketing," Mabie said. "This document encapsulates the functions and features of search engines so beginners can understand where to start."

Students in particular are enjoying the contents of the SEO Guide. Because the industry is new in comparison to others, SEO doesn't necessarily take precedence over traditional marketing methods in college courses. In reality, though, the subject is increasingly relevant -for this reason, many students of Marketing and Advertising are eager to learn more about SEO as a means of preparing for a successful future. "Search Engine Optimization is an essential skill for today's communications professionals, but it's not always an easy element to explain," said Jill Faulk, professor at Lindenwood University in St. Louis. "Evolve Digital Labs' SEO Guide for Beginners serves as a comprehensive resource.  It gives those new to SEO a tangible grasp on a concept that can often feel abstract at first."

Evolve Digital Labs plans to continue producing valuable content like the SEO Guide for Beginners, focusing on significant changes in the search engines' algorithms and industry trends. "There is so much information to harness and publish," Mabie said. "As long as people are willing to learn, we will keep writing, pushing, and teaching."

ACC's CardioSmart Launches Nation's First Free Cardiovascular Texting Program

Program supports heart disease prevention and disease management

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American College of Cardiology (ACC) today launched CardioSmartTXT(TM), the nation's first free texting program to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease. CardioSmartTXT will provide support, information, advice and tips on heart disease prevention as well as disease-specific states. 

The ACC introduced two texting channels in the program's launch - CardioSmartTXT PREVENT and CardioSmartTXT QUIT. CardioSmartTXT PREVENT is a six-month program aimed at the proactive prevention of cardiovascular disease and general heart health and wellness. CardioSmartTXT QUIT is an intensive smoking cessation support program to help users achieve smoking cessation goals. 

Users can sign-up for CardioSmartTXT PREVENT or CardioSmartTXT QUIT at http://www.CardioSmart.org. Additional texting channels will be launched throughout 2012.

CardioSmart is the ACC's patient and consumer education campaign and provides education and resources to the public to help prevent, manage and treat heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and modifiable risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and smoking are leading factors for heart disease.

"As the nation's cardiologists, the ACC plays a crucial role in battling this disease and CardioSmartTXT is an important tool in helping to keep America's hearts healthy by engaging with our patients and future patients through their phone or mobile device," said Jack Lewin, MD, CEO of the ACC. "By encouraging and helping everyone to live smarter and healthier lifestyles, we can help save lives."

CardioSmartTXT PREVENT users will receive 48 messages over the course of six months. The comprehensive set of messages address: diet, exercise, cholesterol, blood pressure, stress management, community resources, smoking cessation and other cardiovascular disease risk factors. Members of the ACC, including cardiologists and cardiac care nurses, developed content for CardioSmartTXT PREVENT.

CardioSmartTXT QUIT is a two-month program that includes 120 messages focused on craving submission, emotional support, community resources and progress tracking. Content for CardioSmartTXT QUIT was developed by smoking cessation experts in conjunction with the National Cancer Institute, which is a part of the National Institutes of Health. CardioSmartTXT QUIT is also available in Spanish.

The CardioSmartTXT program is part of the ACC's ongoing efforts to contribute to the goals of Million Hearts, the Department of Health and Human Services' initiative to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes over the next five years. The CardioSmartTXT program will incorporate elements of the Million Hearts ABCS (Aspirin for people at risk; Blood pressure control; Cholesterol management; Smoking cessation), reinforcing nationwide efforts to reduce the burden of heart disease.

The American College of Cardiology is transforming cardiovascular care and improving heart health through continuous quality improvement, patient-centered care, payment innovation and professionalism. The College is a 40,000-member nonprofit medical society comprised of physicians, surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and practice managers, and bestows credentials upon cardiovascular specialists who meet its stringent qualifications. The College is a leader in the formulation of health policy, standards and guidelines, and is a staunch supporter of cardiovascular research. The ACC provides professional education and operates national registries for the measurement and improvement of quality care.

CTIA Statement on the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Please attribute the following statement to CTIA-The Wireless Association® President and CEO Steve Largent:

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110630/MM28614LOGO-b)

"Today's action to make repurposed broadcast spectrum available for wireless broadband service is vital to ensuring America's wireless industry remains the world's leader in the deployment of 4G services.

"As the Administration, Members of Congress, the FCC and other policymakers have recognized, making additional spectrum available for wireless broadband services will spur infrastructure investment, encourage job creation and foster innovation. Studies suggest that this process could generate infrastructure investments of up to $53 billion, provide as much as $151 billion in GDP and create as many as 771,000 jobs by 2016. In addition, incentive auctions will generate billions in revenue for the U.S. Treasury.

"This additional spectrum will help CTIA's members meet Americans' voracious appetite for mobile Internet anywhere and anytime. While current usage is significant with more than 340 billion MB of wireless data used in the first half of 2011, mobile data usage is expected to grow by a factor of 16 over the next five years. The spectrum made available by this legislation is key to meeting that demand, as well as to enabling the industry to support advances in areas like mHealth and smart energy."

CTIA-The Wireless Association® (http://www.ctia.org) is an international organization representing the wireless communications industry. Membership in the association includes wireless carriers and their suppliers, as well as providers and manufacturers of wireless data services and products. CTIA advocates on behalf of its members at all levels of government. The association also coordinates the industry's voluntary best practices and initiatives, and sponsors the industry's leading wireless tradeshows. CTIA was founded in 1984 and is based in Washington, D.C.

Oce Arizona 318 GL UV Printer Offers True Flatbed Versatility Without Compromise

Award-winning Oce Arizona print quality at a price designed for low-volume production environments

TRUMBULL, Conn., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Oce, a Canon Group Company and an international leader in digital document management and printing for professionals, today announced the new Oce Arizona(®) 318 GL printer, a highly-capable introductory UV flatbed model that offers smaller print producers entrance to the world of award-winning, high-quality UV flatbed printing. The Oce Arizona 318 GL printer makes its worldwide debut at the FESPA Digital 2012 exhibition in Barcelona, February 21-24, 2012. It will make its U.S. debut at the International Sign Expo in Orlando, March 22-24, 2012.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101018/CG84120LOGO)

Popular UV flatbed printer series

According to IT Strategies, a Hanover, MA industry research firm, the Oce Arizona product range(1) has the leading installed base of printers in the <$200,000 UV Flatbed category. Since the first shipment of an Oce Arizona Series printer in 2007, nearly 3,000 systems built on this platform have been shipped to date.

"The popularity of the Oce Arizona Series in the market is validation of the benefits and opportunities it provides to our customers," said Attilio Mainoli, CEO of Oce Display Graphics Systems. "The Oce Arizona 318 GL model gives smaller shops - those that thought they couldn't afford an Oce Arizona model - the same application versatility as our other Oce Arizona models at an affordable price point."

Affordable flatbed printing

The Oce Arizona 318 GL printer delivers quality printing on the same robust platform as the Oce Arizona 360 GT printer at a price positioned for low-volume production environments - while delivering the same application versatility. The Oce Arizona 318 GL printer is available fully installed and operational for less than $100,000(2). It is ideal for sign makers, smaller print providers, reprographers and other graphics producers that need true flatbed quality and capability but cannot afford a large capital investment.

"For quite some time, we have been looking for a UV curable, rigid substrate printer to sell as an introductory model," said Jamie Powers, Digital Specialist with Reece Supply, a distributor of Oce Arizona Series printers in the U.S. "Nothing that I have seen to date could provide the quality at a price point that I felt the small and mid-size sign shops need in order to compete with the larger print providers. After seeing the Oce Arizona 318 GL printer in action, I am glad to say we have finally found the printer I have been looking for. The overall image quality, speed and options you get for the price will make the Oce Arizona 318 GL printer a big hit."

With the Oce Arizona 318 GL printer, print providers can produce sellable output with print speeds of up to 194 square feet per hour in Express Mode, producing more than twenty 2- by 3-foot boards per hour.

In addition to the lower price-point, value-priced ONYX(®) PosterShop(®) X10 Oce Edition software is available to drive the printer. ONYX PosterShop software increases productivity by giving users flexible control over their workflow. It includes advanced and custom nesting tools for maximum media savings as well as a white ink tool for fast job preparation.

True flatbed enables a versatile range of applications

The Oce Arizona 318 GL printer can print on rigid media up to 49.2 inches wide by 98.4 inches long and up to 1.89 inches thick. The true flatbed design holds media stationary on a flatbed vacuum table assuring registration. The true flatbed architecture allows for edge-to-edge printing (full bleed), the printing of multiple boards simultaneously, registered double-sided prints and the printing of large displays tiled over several boards - all applications that are difficult to produce on printers that move the media through the printing system. This true flatbed architecture enables printing on irregularly-shaped or non-square items, heavy substrates, unusually smooth media such as glass, or materials that have an uneven surface such as plywood or framed canvas.

Options increase flexibility

An available factory-installed White Ink Option enables under-printing for non-white media or objects, over-printing for backlit applications on transparent media and printing white as a spot color. The White Ink Option provides potential high-value, high margin application opportunities, and, since 2008, more than 90% of Oce Arizona printer purchasers have selected this option for their printer.

A Roll Media Option is also available, giving print providers the ability to print onto flexible media including vinyl, self-adhesive vinyl, scrim banner, paper and blue backed paper without compromising the rigid printing workflow. Entire campaigns - including rigid signs, banners and posters - can be created on one printer, ensuring quality and consistency across all printed items.

A real Oce Arizona printer in every way

Like all Oce Arizona Series printers, the Oce Arizona 318 GL printer includes Oce VariaDot(®) imaging technology for award-winning, high-quality output. Oce VariaDot technology does not require "light" colors to achieve high image quality and as a result uses significantly less ink - less than half that of many competitive systems.

The Oce Arizona 318 GL printer includes a UV curing system designed by Oce that provides more UV energy to support difficult-to-cure media, while reducing heat at the media surface. It also features a new-style tabletop that allows very thin media to be printed directly on the table without mechanical distortion of the media into the vacuum holes.

Highly honored UV flatbed printer series

All Oce Arizona Series printers - including the new Oce Arizona 318 GL model - share the same award-winning image quality and robust architecture, offering the Oce values of quality, reliability, productivity and user-friendliness. In all, Oce Arizona Series UV flatbed printers have earned 27 industry awards to date from organizations throughout the world. These awards validate the quality and innovation built into every Oce Arizona Series printer.

Callaway Golf Announces Availability of RAZR X HL Irons and Hybrids

Super Game Improvement Clubs Deliver Confidence, Forgiveness and Playability

CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the retail availability of the new RAZR X® HL Irons and Hybrids, engineered to package maximum distance with uncompromising forgiveness for golfers looking to bring their game to the next level.

The super game-improvement RAZR X HL Irons feature a cast stainless steel design with a wide, confidence-inspiring sole for smooth turf interaction. A low center of gravity makes the sweet spot more accessible at lower impact locations on the face where many amateurs strike the ball, delivering longer, more consistent distance and improved accuracy. The RAZR X HL Irons also have a fully integrated clubface/undercut cavity system, enabling engineers to precisely position the center of gravity and engineer the face of each individual iron to maximize ball speed. The multi-material medallion on the back of the clubhead is made of aluminum and thermoplastic polyurethane to fine-tune sound and enhance feel.

Golfers who are looking to fill distance gaps in their game can customize their set by substituting RAZR X HL Hybrids where irons challenge their confidence or consistency. The RAZR X HL Hybrids feature moderate offset and are designed to help get the ball airborne. The clubface has a Zero Roll Design, which produces a higher launch angle on shots hit low on the face for increased distance and softer landings.

"In designing the RAZR X HL Irons, our goal was to provide a club that would inspire confidence and make the game more enjoyable. The low center of gravity, large sweet spot and wide-sole design all work together to help get the ball airborne and add distance to your game," said Luke Williams, Senior Director, Global Woods and Irons, Callaway Golf. "The RAZR X HL Hybrids were designed to seamlessly complement the RAZR X HL Irons in the set. Like the irons, the hybrids deliver maximum forgiveness and distance with a high trajectory that makes it easier to land the ball softly on the green."

The RAZR X HL Irons are available now for a new product introduction retail price of $599 for a steel-shafted set, and $799 for a graphite-shafted set. A combo set of six irons and two hybrids are available for $799 with graphite shafts. A combo set with steel shafts in the irons and graphite shafts in the hybrids are available for $699.

For specific information regarding the RAZR X HL Irons and Hybrids, please visit http://www.callawaygolf.com/.  High-resolution images of all products are available for immediate download via the Media Center portion of Callaway's website: http://www.callawaygolf.com/PressCenter.

"Iomega's new PX Server Class Series is another example of Iomega delivering on its EMC heritage by bringing easy-to-use world class EMC enterprise storage capabilities to SMBs, remote offices and distributed enterprises at affordable prices," said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega Corporation.  "Designed using many of the same technologies as EMC's enterprise network storage products, the new PX Server Class Series is comprised of powerful business class NAS devices that offer increased reliability and continuous operation that comes with server class drives, as well as the option of using consumer drives.  Either way, there are numerous new software features debuting with our new server class NAS series that benefit SMBs and would normally only be found with enterprise level network storage solutions."

Cannon to appear on Capitol Hill in support of Rep. Ed Markey and Rep. Joe Barton's new child Internet safety bill.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Safe Communications, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SGTB.pk) announced today that multi-media mogul, actor, TV host and comedian Nick Cannon has partnered with Safe Communications as its spokesperson.

Cannon is scheduled to represent Safe Communications in a Congressional Briefing/Press Conference on Capitol Hill regarding child safety legislation, "Do Not Track Kids Act of 2011" (H.R. 1895), to be held on March 7th. The conference is being chaired by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) and Rep. Ed Markey (D-TX) with many other Congressmen attending. Barton and Markey serve as Co-Chairmen of the Congressional Privacy Caucus. The pending legislation establishes clear rules regarding child privacy and requires verifiable parental consent. Under the new rule, the FTC would be instructed to place strict limitations on the use of children's personal information. With over 5 million kids under the age of 10 on Facebook, children are exposed to outside exploitation and predators like never before. Safe Communications has been an active participant in the coalition behind the legislation. Cannon will also be the featured guest with the official launch of Safe's new virtual world, Kuboo.com, in late March.

Cannon is host of NBC's hit talent competition show "America"s Got Talent" as well as his own nationally syndicated Top 40 weekend countdown radio show called "Cannon's Countdown." He can also be seen as a series regular on the new Lorne Michaels (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock) produced NBC scripted comedy show, "Up All Night," opposite Maya Rudolph, Christina Applegate and Will Arnett, which airs Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. ET.

    The Forex market generally begins live trading Monday morning in Sydney and Auckland,
then moves on to Tokyo and Singapore, London and finally New York.

    Beginning trading at 14:15 Eastern Time Sunday, when the market opens in Australia and
New Zealand; Tokyo begins trading at 19:00 Eastern Time, followed by London at 2:00
Eastern Time.

institutions maintaining round the clock trading operations that respond to economic and
political developments in real time.
