SYNC Accelerates into 2013 as Standard Equipment on New Ford Fusion and Flex

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 9, 2012

    --  2013 Ford Fusion and Flex get SYNC® as standard equipment on all trim
        levels
    --  Ford SYNC, the voice-activated in-car connectivity system introduced in
        2007, now is installed in more than 4 million Ford Motor Company
        vehicles
    --  Powered by the Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive platform, SYNC has
        created the "upgradeable car," allowing new features and improvements to
        be seamlessly integrated on a pace with consumer trends and preferences
Drivers of more than 4 million vehicles already take advantage of mobile device connectivity provided by Ford SYNC®, which is available as either optional or standard equipment on every new Ford sold in North( )America. That population is set to grow even more for 2013 as the all-new Ford Fusion and Flex get SYNC as standard equipment.

Since its debut in 2007, SYNC has been recognized as the industry-leading system for connecting mobile phones and media players and enabling hands-free use through a simple and reliable voice-control system.

"Ford SYNC technology has led the industry in transforming the way we connect to our cars," said Dave Mondragon, Ford general marketing manager. "SYNC has enabled Ford drivers to take advantage of the latest communication and entertainment technology with an easily upgradeable architecture that is friendly to use."

Every all-new Fusion from the base car through to the advanced plug-in Fusion Energi, as well as the redesigned Flex, will be equipped with SYNC whether it has an entry-level audio system or top-of-the-line MyFord Touch® interface. Compatible phones and media players can be connected to SYNC through a standard USB port or wirelessly via Bluetooth®.

Nine states have now completely banned the use of hand-held phones by drivers with at least 35 states prohibiting texting behind the wheel. At the same time, Americans are more connected than ever, with the mobile industry trade group CTIA estimating more than 300 million cell phones were in use in the United States by mid-2011.

Hands-free, voice-activated control of music playback and phone calls enables drivers to drive safer by keeping their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. With a connected mobile phone, drivers can also use SYNC Services to get voice-activated access to a cloud-based network of information including traffic, news, sports, weather, horoscopes, stock quotes and movie listings along with business searches and turn-by-turn directions.

In the event of an accident, SYNC 911 Assist(TM)( )can directly call emergency services and transmit the vehicle location to first responders.

Upgradeability

Fusion and Flex drivers aren't limited to the SYNC functionality that was built in when they bought the car. As new features are added to SYNC, owners can visit SYNCMyRide.com to download free updates to a USB flash drive that can be loaded into the car.

Drivers today spend more time on the road than ever before, and Ford recognizes the need to stay safe and connected. The redesigned 2013 Ford Fusion and Flex will lead the way to a projected 9 million more SYNC-powered vehicles over the next three years.

Zimmer Launches Arthritis 411, a Free Interactive Patient Education Application for the iPad

App Offers Comprehensive Information For Knee and Hip Pain Sufferers

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZMH), a global leader in musculoskeletal health, today announced the availability of a new patient education application designed for Apple's iPad tablet.  The application, Arthritis 411, will help patients learn more about arthritis pain and explore treatment options, including knee and hip replacement procedures.  Arthritis 411 is free and available now in the Apple iTunes store.

According to the World Health Organization, arthritis is a leading cause of disability, affecting an estimated 150 million people globally and more than 27 million Americans.  According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, there are more than 600,000 knee replacement procedures and 285,000 hip replacement procedures performed each year in the United States alone.

"Because arthritis is a medical condition for which there is presently no cure, patients spend years or even decades searching for information about treatments to manage their pain," said Charlie Young, Vice President of Zimmer Corporate Marketing.  "Arthritis 411 from Zimmer is the first comprehensive, personalized and interactive solution for patients - and their medical professionals - to access constantly updated information to help navigate their treatment options."

The Arthritis 411 application from Zimmer addresses two critical unmet needs:

    --  For Patients, Arthritis 411 serves as an interactive, customizable way
        for patients to explore a variety of videos, images and information
        about joint pain and treatment options.
    --  For Medical Professionals, Arthritis 411 provides an unprecedented point
        of care tool to help primary care physicians explain the causes of joint
        pain and treatment options; and for surgeons to leverage simple
        animations and other interactive tools to help patients understand their
        diagnosis, x-ray images, and surgery and rehabilitation options.
The Arthritis 411 application is a user-friendly and highly-customizable experience.  Patients simply enter the site of their pain (example: knee or hip), their age range, and their gender to view a comprehensive array of personalized multi-media content about:

    --  Arthritis and human anatomy
    --  Treatment options
    --  Testimonials from other patients who have undergone similar procedures
    --  Preparation and recovery strategies
    --  Other useful information about surgery planning and rehabilitation
The new Zimmer Arthritis 411 application was initially developed for the iPad tablet because the device supports a range of interactive functionality and is widely used in medical practices.  Industry analysts estimate that Apple sold more than 45 million iPad tablets in 2011.  Future versions of the Arthritis 411 application will be developed for smart phones and other mobile platforms.  The Arthritis 411 App is free and available for immediate download via the Apple iTunes Store online, at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zimmer-arthritis-411/id496317851?mt=8.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackboard Inc. today announced a major update for its flagship online learning platform with a new release incorporating a sleek, modern design that marks the platform's biggest shift in look and feel in years. Service Pack 8 for Blackboard Learn(TM) 9.1 also brings a number of feature enhancements that make it easier to navigate the system, take advantage of its powerful capabilities and complete common tasks more quickly.

The new design, applied to the user interface and throughout the course environment, is more intuitive and offers a real advancement in the system's usability. The design also makes some of the platform's capabilities easier to access and use by bringing key features into clearer focus for users. The release also offers instructors the ability to customize and personalize the visual presentation of their courses with over 50 pre-built course themes.

To help instructors get started quickly and successfully, the release adds a quick course set-up guide including a set of course structures and content options that have been designed in accordance with pedagogical best practices. The release also brings a range of feature enhancements that make system navigation and workflows much easier. For example, instructors can now quickly move from a grading area in one course to another, and instructors can also apply changes to a previously graded question that automatically updates across the entire system, significantly reducing the amount of time spent on process.

"I love the new features in this release, especially the new look and feel - it is much cleaner and is really the next step for Blackboard," said Rene J. Aube, Blackboard Administrator, College communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick. "Blackboard continues to do a great job listening to their customers. They get our input and we have direct access to shape the technology supporting our institution."

Development of the release was informed by input from thousands of users at nearly 600 institutions that participated in Blackboard community programs that span every phase of the software development lifecycle and directly influence features and functionality.

"The institutions we serve face greater demands from their consumers than ever before," said Ray Henderson, Chief Technology Officer and President of Blackboard Learn. "Students and faculty have high expectations for the experience they'll have with learning technology. This release should serve as a clear signal about our intent to meet those expectations with great design and an approach that makes it easier to manage and use technology to deliver a high quality experience and drive student outcomes. And its part of a larger approach we're taking to support everything needed to do that well in terms of client and user support, openness and product quality."

Nearly 2,000 institutions have adopted Blackboard's newest learning platform to take advantage of its improved stability and integration of social learning tools. Release 9.1 can be enabled for interactive mobile learning and integrated with Blackboard's mass notification service to enable instructors to communicate with students via email, text and voice to text messages. Release 9.1 also integrates with the Blackboard Collaborate(TM) platform to enable instructors to record and embed audio files and collaborate with students through instant messaging and Web conferencing capabilities. Elements of the new design for Blackboard Learn are also featured in Blackboard Collaborate, creating a consistent user experience between the platforms.

Release 9.1 also supports K-12 schools and districts with standards alignment, enabling teachers and administrators to report on student performance against aligned standards and provide greater visibility into the achievement of learning outcomes. Course and student activity reports also allow teachers and administrators to see how students are using online course materials and track student time on various learning activities.

Service Pack 8 for Blackboard Learn 9.1 is available today, and current Blackboard clients can upgrade to the new release at no extra charge. CourseSites, Blackboard's free cloud-based learning management solution for instructors will be updated to include features from Release 9.1, Service Pack 8 later this month. Institutions can try CourseSites when considering a move to Release 9.1 and can import courses easily into CourseSites from a range of learning management systems, now including ANGEL Learning.

Food Lovers Unite With dishPal

dishPal App for Android and iOS Connects Foodies Throughout the Globe to Share Food Photos and Experiences

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SK Planet today launched dishPal, an iOS and Android app that allows users to easily take pictures and share dishes with friends and fellow foodies, whether dining out or cooking from home. The app enables users to share their favorite meals and add dishPal friends, as well as browse and comment on other dishPal users' photos.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120208/SF49295)

The world of food is not just tasty - it incorporates a variety of multifaceted, deep rooted and rich cuisines that are individualized according to a person's background and preferences. dishPal is a fun and easy way for people to share what they are currently biting into or drooling over, as well as provide an outlet for them to express their unique food persona. The social networking facet of dishPal creates an environment where all the distinctive palates using the app can mingle in a way that will evolve individual tastes and possibly evoke change in food trends on a larger scale.

Food has a lasting effect on our culture and society. In fact, The United States Department of Agriculture notes a typical person will spend over 6 hours a day eating, drinking and partaking in associated activates such as meal preparation. While it may seem a trivial fact, the time we dedicate to food exposes how it influences us on even a day-to-day basis. dishPal utilizes the smartphone to connect people who love food, enabling them to share their food experiences and providing them with a channel to explore the food cultures of others.

dishPal incorporates a variety of features including potlucks, magazines and tagging capabilities - making dish sharing stimulating and social. Any user can create a themed potluck for dishPal friends and foodies to join and contribute to within the app. Whether the potluck theme is vegetarian delights or holiday cuisine, the result is a mixture of everyone's favorite dishes that adhere to a pre-established and shared cuisine interest. Users also have the opportunity to customize virtual dishPal magazines that only they can post dishes in, allowing users to highlight their individual tastes.

Pricing and Availability
dishPal is a free Android and iOS app available immediately at the Apple App Store and the Android Market.

iT1 Releases a New White Paper on Energy Saving Through Server Decommissioning

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new white paper released by iT1 Consulting outlines the ways in which organizations that store and safeguard electronic data can generate major cost savings by securely decommissioning aging or underused servers. Many physical servers use around 60% of their full power when switched on, even if they aren't performing useful work. Unused or under-used servers waste electricity, plant cooling, and space as well as internal capability such as CPU cycles, memory and storage. Securely decommissioning these machines can yield immediate cost savings to data operations in the form of greatly reduced power bills.

"Not all data center operations actively track the amount of energy use attributable to servers that aren't engaged in productive work, but the amount of energy and money wasted on non-productive server work can be tremendous," said M. Scott Brooks, a Principal at iT1 Consulting. "Streamlining operations and replacing aging servers with more powerful, energy-efficient machines is a win-win for data operations across the spectrum."

For public and private organizations that safeguard sensitive customer or citizen data, iT1's server decommission services include an array of drive destruction options to ensure data doesn't get into the wrong hands. Drives can undergo a 7-pass wipe in accordance with DoD standards for destruction of classified information, degaussed, or physically destroyed onsite as part of the process. Additionally, iT1 offers unparalleled client transparency into the decommission process via a secure application that allows customers to track the process in real time on the Web or on an iPad.

"There's no better way to ensure that our customers feel engaged in the process than allowing this level of insight into our process," said Brooks. "We do everything possible to ensure that our customers' information is safeguarded at every point of the transition to a leaner, greener, and more efficient operation."

The white paper is available free of charge at http://whitepaper.it1help.com/iT1_Server_Decommission_Whitepaper.pdf. For more information, please contact decommission@it1.com.

ComponentOne Releases a Collection of 40+ UI Widgets Powered by HTML5 and jQuery

The Wijmo v2 Release Offers Developers Everything They Need to Build a Better Web

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ComponentOne, a leader in developer-productivity tools, has announced the 2012 release of Wijmo: a kit of UI widgets for HTML5 and jQuery development.  The centerpiece of this release is the stunning data visualization widgets, including more HTML5 chart types and new HTML5 gauges.

Originally debuted in the first quarter of 2011, Wijmo extends jQuery UI and provides everything from interactive menus to rich charts. This v2 release offers over 40 widgets with many enhancements to existing widgets.

"This is the most complete collection of tools a Web developer may access for creating interactive websites and applications," said Chris Bannon, product manager at ComponentOne.

According to a blog post by Bannon, he states, "The power of HTML5 is harnessed in the Wijmo collection and with it your web applications will perform faster, run smoother, and be more engaging than ever before."

The dedicated website for Wijmo, wijmo.com, has a live demo which lets visitors explore every widget and highlights the specific features of each. In the Grid Demo, which displays the source code used to create it, ComponentOne shows how the Wijmo Grid surfaces the filtering UI for each column of data. "The Show Filter option allows the end user to filter through an infinite number of records efficiently and hassle-free," said Bannon.

While ComponentOne clearly shows the functionality of the widgets, they also are cognizant of the design aspect of web development. To easily develop a consistent look and feel throughout an application, users may start by using one of the six professionally designed themes included with Wijmo. Optionally, a user may choose from over 30 themes from the jQuery UI project or use ThemeRoller from jQuery UI to create a custom theme.

The Wijmo website describes how Wijmo is split into two kits,Wijmo CompleteandWijmo Open. Wijmo Complete is a commercial kit filled with powerful application building widgets like charts and grids. Wijmo Open is completely free and open source under the MIT/GPL licenses and includes menus, calendars, and more. 

Either kit, Complete or Open, ensures the UI created works in every browser and every device without worrying about compatibility issues. Wijmo widgets support these popular browsers: IE6+, Firefox 3+, Safari 3+, and Chrome.

Earlier this week, ComponentOne posted a case study that details how a State College, PA based company, Schoolwires, migrated their applications to Wijmo. The study chronicles Wijmo in the eyes of Schoolwires, from evaluation to implementation and includes cost/time saving results.

Leeds Internet Exchange Launches Yorkshire onto the Global Internet Map

LEEDS, England, February 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Thursday 16th February 2012 shall mark the launch of IXLeeds, a neutral not-for-profit
Internet Exchange Point (IXP) based in Leeds. Its main objectives are to allow Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) in the north of the UK to provide faster, cheaper broadband, and
make Yorkshire less dependent upon London.

    The Olympic Games will place a greatly increased demand on London's resources, so it's
paramount that Yorkshire reduces its reliance on London's Internet infrastructure.

    Also, In order for Internet services to become faster and more competitive, there is a
need for all ISPs to exchange traffic with social networks and streaming media (such as
on-demand and Internet TV). On top of this, as mobile download speeds get faster, the need
to handle this data regionally becomes even more important. Regional internet exchanges
such as IXLeeds are key to making this happen.

    IXLeeds, based in aql.com's data facility in the heart of the city, will be the first
exchange of its kind in Yorkshire. The official launch event is a key turning point in its
development, which grew out of a working group set up back in 2008 to promote
collaboration between operators in Yorkshire. The exchange is not just a place for ISPs to
exchange traffic, but is also dedicated to bringing global Internet expertise to the
region, benefiting existing initiatives, such as the rollout of 'superfast broadband' and
metropolitan Internet services.

    The bottom line: According to a leading industry report : "80 new jobs are created for
every 1000 new broadband connections."

    Communications Minister, Ed Vaizey said "We must ensure the UK has the digital
infrastructure necessary to drive sustainable growth. Projects like IXLeeds will provide
cities and regions with better Internet services, which they can use to develop new
products, reach new markets and create new jobs."

    Andy Davidson, Board Chair, says; 'Welcome to Booming Yorkshire - the second largest
region in the UK by GDP. IXLeeds allows all ISPs in Yorkshire to develop their
connectivity strategy and to reduce reliance on London, enabling internet traffic to take
a more direct route between ISPs in the north. This will improve the efficiency of the
Internet, resulting in a better service for the end user.'

    The launch event will be held at The Carriage Works in Leeds. It's open to both
members and non-members and is free to register. Attendees will be able to find out more
about IXLeeds as well as hear from industry speakers Robert Ling (Broadband Delivery UK -
the Government vehicle for delivery of policy on broadband), John Souter (LINX, the London
Internet Exchange) and Dr Adam Beaumont (aql - a Leeds based telecommunications operator).

   
    Event Information:
    - IXLeeds Official Launch Event
    - Thursday 16th February 2012
    - Carriage Works, Millennium Square, Leeds
    - 3.30pm onwards
    - Free entry: http://www.ixleeds.net/event/ixleeds1/index.html

    Notes for Editors:

    IXLeeds Ltd, 11-15 Hunslet Road, Leeds, LS10 1JQ

    http://www.ixleeds.net

    IXLeeds is a limited company with an experienced board of four directors and a company
secretary, elected by its membership.

    Chair: Andy Davidson (Hurricane Electric). Andy sits on the board of directors of
LONAP, another neutral Internet Exchange point in the UK. Through his work as a chair of
the European IX Working group at RIPE he has tutored operators in Eastern Europe, Russia
and the Middle East on building commercially and technically stable Internet Exchange
Points.

Wacom and Access Announce Streamlined e-Signature Solution for the Healthcare Industry

New Offering Brings Time and Cost Savings to Healthcare Providers

VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Wacom®, the leading manufacturer of pen tablets and interactive pen displays, announces a partnership with Access, a global provider of electronic forms management, automation and workflow software, to create a new e-Signature solution for the healthcare industry. The solution combines a Wacom signature tablet with Access' Intelligent Forms Suite software to deliver a more streamlined, secure and efficient way to integrate electronic handwritten signatures into the healthcare industry's daily workflow.

By bringing accurate and real life e-Signatures to the patient registration and bedside consent processes, Wacom and Access' solution reduces the time and cost previously invested in the process.

"Collecting traditional, hand-written signatures from patients at registration and bedside requires the use of paper forms, which not only incur high financial, productivity and environmental costs, but delay admission and inhibit information sharing," said Cody Strate, Sales Director. "With Wacom and Access's e-Signature solution, healthcare professionals and patients experience a reduction in the time and cost it takes to securely authorize medical appointments, exams and procedures."

Additionally, each one of Wacom's battery-free and cordless signature tablets is able to capture the static and biometric information of individual signatures which Access captures and binds to the document, providing an effective defense against fraud for both patients and healthcare providers. Litigation risk is also reduced with accurate, electronically-stored signatures proving patient consent.

"Through modernizing the signature capture process, Wacom and Access' e-Signature solution provides not only a cost-savings to healthcare providers with less of a need to print, scan and store documents, but an increase in the trust and confidence patients feel in their healthcare provider through the streamlined and professional process it offers," says Michael Marcum, Vice President of Vertical Markets for Wacom Technology Services, Corp. "Improving the process to add unalterable and legally-binding electronic signatures to documents is also a time-savings, which benefits both patients and the healthcare industry."

Wacom and Access will be showcasing their e-Signature solution at the Healthcare Information and Management System Society's Annual Conference (HIMSS) February 20-24 in Las Vegas. To learn more, please stop by:

Wacom's Booth Number: 13522

Access' Booth Number: 860

Resellers and System Integrators interested in selling Wacom and Access' e-Signature solution can send inquiries to SignatureTablet@wacom.com for more information.

New Social Media Analytics Technology Measures ROI for Retailers

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AddShoppers launches new social commerce platform that tracks the ROI of social media traffic and significantly increases product sharing, free.

Now retailers can put a dollar amount to all types of social sharing.  It's simple to identify which social networks are driving the most sales.  In addition you can analyze demographics at a product level.  For example, Product A might be more popular among males aged 25-34 on Twitter while Product B is shared more on Facebook by females aged 35-45.

"After setting up AddShoppers and incentivizing people to share, we are already collecting extremely valuable data, driving new social conversations, and acquiring new customers at a nominal Cost Per Acquisition. AddShoppers brings eCommerce social media marketing to a whole new level." - Jed Young, Internet Marketing Manager at FairwayStyles.com

During their beta, AddShoppers' new Social Promo Callout(TM) technology, increased Facebook Likes, tweets, and more by 30% on average.  If a retailer chooses to offer a coupon for sharing, their customers are alerted by a callout tag that displays the applicable discount next to the sharing button of choice.  After a customer shares, their friends can click through to view the product and share for their own discount.

Until now retailers were unable to analyze the worth of social sharing sources such as Facebook, Twitter, Google +1, and Pinterest in aggregate.  AddShoppers is the first open social sharing service built from the ground up for eCommerce.  With just 5 minutes of their time and a few snippets of javascript, retailers can be up and running.

AddShoppers is integrated with some of the top eCommerce platforms out of the box, including:  Magento, Shopify, Volusion, Yahoo! Stores, and Big Commerce.  Only sharing sources that make sense for retail such as Wishpot, Kaboodle, and Stumbleupon are integrated.  AddShoppers' Influencer technology is powered by Klout so retailers can sort by their most influential sharers.  Sharing demographics are enhanced by Rapleaf and Facebook. 

About AddShoppers

AddShoppers is an open social sharing platform built for retailers. We increase sharing with our -- soon to be patented -- Social Promo Callouts(TM) and measure success with just a few snippets of code, free.  Everything is eCommerce specific, even our URL shortener -- http://shop.pe.

TastemakerX Raises $1.8 Million Series A

Social Mobile Game for Music Fans to Launch Private Beta at SXSW 2012

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TastemakerX, a social mobile platform focused on developing a targeted taste graph, today announced that it has raised $1.8 million in funding from leading venture capital firms and angel investors that include media and music veterans. The company will release its debut TastemakerX Music mobile app as a private beta in early March 2012.

Investors in this round of financing include Guggenheim Partners (Billboard, C3, Variety Magazine), Baseline Ventures (Task Rabbit, Instagram), True Ventures (Schematic Labs, Automattic) AOL Ventures (bit.ly, Solve Media) and Tekton Ventures (Seamless Receipts, DoodleDeals). Additionally, the company has attracted Internet and music industry advisors John Battelle, Marc Geiger, Ian Rogers, Paul Bricault and Ted Rheingold and angel investors Andrew Anker, Mich Mathews, Michael Kassan and Mike McGinley.

The company founders, Marc Ruxin, a former advertising and media executive and start-up advisor and Sandro Pugliese, an engineer and entrepreneur, both started their careers in the A&R department at EMI records in the early 1990s. Ruxin and Pugliese are using the funds to launch the company and develop the TastemakerX platform.

"What music fan doesn't want to be the first to discover the next big band and get credit for it?" said Marc Ruxin, co-founder and CEO of TastemakerX. "Like fantasy sports for music lovers, players will be able to browse portfolios of like-minded music aficionados to discover new music and see real-time news about the artists they love."

Steve Anderson, founder of Baseline Ventures, said, "Over the past few years, the big social networks were growing so quickly and becoming so broad that surfacing information about personal taste was becoming almost impossible. TastemakerX solves two problems:  It delineates personal taste and influence, establishing a true 'taste graph,' and it gamifies culture, in the same way Fantasy sports leagues gamifiy professional sports for millions of fans."

About TastemakerX, Inc.

TastemakerX is social gaming platform that allows users to build portfolios of personal tastes and share it to their social graph. The TastemakerX Music mobile app enables fans to discover artists, trends and inspiration; compete against other tastemakers; and share experiences through geo-tagging, commentary and photo sharing.

Navman Wireless Adds SpeedGauge-Powered Speed Monitoring for Fleet Control

Latest Enhancement to Fleet Tracking System Helps Reduce Risk, Fuel Use & Maintenance Costs

GLENVIEW, Ill., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Navman Wireless is offering a new GPS-based speed monitoring service for its OnlineAVL2 fleet tracking system through a partnership with SpeedGauge, a provider of speed management analytics for the commercial transportation industry. The new option - available for fleets in the U.S. and Canada - combines the two companies' technologies to help fleet operators reduce risk, fuel consumption and maintenance costs by detecting violations of posted speed limits and/or company speed policies.

Available as an add-on to any of Navman Wireless' monthly subscription packages, the SpeedGauge service enables fleet managers to identify high-risk driving behavior and analyze speeding patterns over time. Users can:

    --  Establish thresholds for driving over posted speed limits (e.g. 3 mph
        over for city, 7 mph over for highway), with different settings for
        cars, trucks and hazmat vehicles.
    --  Set limits and thresholds for private roads, truck yards and other
        locations outside of standard speed zones, and create custom speed zones
        with electronic geofences.
    --  Receive daily, weekly or monthly emails that list the time, date,
        location, speed limit, actual speed and other key data for each speeding
        incident.
    --  See the precise location of any violation on a map by clicking on any
        incident.
    --  Drill down to additional details at Navman Wireless' password-protected
        SpeedGauge site, with the ability to sort by parameters such as vehicle
        and incident.
    --  Access a variety of trend reports online, including charts and graphs
        providing at-a-glance information on speed violations and improvements
        over time. Reports are archived online for a year and can also be
        imported by the fleet operator for longer recordkeeping.

A study by SpeedGauge found that using speed monitoring to pinpoint and correct speeding behavior can reduce speeding incidents by up to 67%, substantially decrease accident risk and associated costs, and lower both fuel consumption and annual maintenance expenses. The findings are based in part on EPA data indicating that driving 10 mph over the limit increases fuel consumption by 15%. Reducing speeding on roads with speed limits over 55 mph alone saves an average of $21,000 to $80,000 per vehicle in fuel bills, according to EPA calculations.

"Driving speed has traditionally been a wild card in fleet management because fleet operators have had no way to measure this aspect of driver behavior. Yet speeding corresponds directly to accidents, fuel efficiency, and vehicle wear and tear," said Renaat Ver Eecke, Vice President and General Manager, Navman Wireless North America. "With SpeedGauge, managers can zero in on habitual speeders, use the information to corrective action, and dramatically reduce speeding incidents and related risk and costs through training and policy enforcement."

The new SpeedGauge service marks the second enhancement to the OnlineAVL2 platform in a month. In January, Navman Wireless announced the addition of a route optimization capability powered by Dashfly that enables dispatchers to calculate the fastest and shortest driving routes for up to 25 stops with one click. The resulting routing information is then transmitted to Navman Wireless' M-Nav in-vehicle terminals for driver notification and turn-by-turn navigation.

API Available for Other IntegrationsSpeedGauge's integration with Navman Wireless' technology marks the latest use of Navman Wireless' Application Programming Interface (API) to enable seamless communication between the OnlineAVL2 software and third-party applications. The Navman Wireless API can be used both to add new functionality to OnlineAVL2, as in the cases of SpeedGauge and Dashfly, and to leverage Navman Wireless' fleet tracking data to help power other systems, such as a towing application and an after-hours college ride service.

The GPS-based Navman Wireless platform is the only fleet tracking solution that provides location, operations and performance data for both on-road vehicles and construction equipment from a single interface. The system monitors vehicle location in real time while also helping fleet managers reduce fuel, labor and vehicle operating costs. System maps and reports pinpoint problems such as idling, inaccurate timesheets, unauthorized stops and personal vehicle usage as well as improving dispatch efficiencies and optimizing maintenance schedules.

Components include the back-end OnlineAVL2 application, delivered under the Software-as-a-Service model with no major in-house software installation or maintenance required; the Qube on-road and Qtanium off-road GPS tracking devices; and in-vehicle M-Nav 760 and MDT-860 mobile messaging/turn-by-turn GPS navigation devices.

About Navman WirelessNavman Wireless is a global leader in GPS-based fleet optimization products and services, including real-time vehicle tracking and analytics delivered under the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model that enable companies to track, monitor and communicate with their movable and fixed equipment assets. The company's technology currently monitors more than 150,000 vehicles owned by over 14,000 organizations worldwide, making Navman Wireless one of the world's largest fleet management providers with coverage on five continents.

Square Enix Goes Undercover With Sleeping Dogs

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Square Enix London Studios, a part of the Square Enix Group announces Sleeping Dogs(TM), a gritty open-world cop drama set in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. Developed by United Front Games in collaboration with Square Enix London Studios, Sleeping Dogs will be available in the second half of 2012 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

Sleeping Dogs catapults players into the role of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with taking down one of the world's most fearsome criminal organizations from the inside...the Hong Kong Triads. As players explore the bustling and crowded Hong Kong island, through its neon-lit side streets and sprawling street markets, an incredible story unfolds of loyalty and betrayal where Wei begins to question his own motives as he is sucked in deeper than he could ever imagine.

Offering players an island packed with action, every street corner, market stall, harbor dock or city skyscraper can become an opportunity for intense shoot-outs, adrenaline-fuelled street races and intense, brutal martial arts combat. Featuring one of the most intuitive and imaginative combat systems, Sleeping Dogs empowers players to perform an extensive set of martial arts moves, singlehandedly taking on numerous opponents. Players perform bone-crunching kicks and combos, vicious counters and a cinematic set of environmental takedowns making use of countless real-world items from circular saws to phone booths, incinerators to refrigerator doors.

"From the moment you pick up the controller and experience the blend of driving, close combat and shooting you know you're playing something fresh and a bit special," said Lee Singleton, general manager of Square Enix London Studios. "Sleeping Dogs has one of the best melee combat systems out there - it's super brutal with devastating takedown moves, and when added to UFG's proven heritage in driving games, a first class story and the vibrant backdrop of the Hong Kong underworld we get a fiery recipe with fun written all over it."

"Working on Sleeping Dogs has been such a huge passion for the team at United Front Games and we're really pleased to be working with Square Enix London Studios," said Stephen Van Der Mescht, executive producer at United Front Games. "The extensive experience that both studios have in creating compelling open world gameplay and rich, rewarding combat makes for a perfect partnership.

Champion! Magazine Launches Into 2012 With New Issue Available Now in the iTunes App Store and Newsstand

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The next great comic and pop culture event isn't in New York or San Diego - it's on your iPad.  Having steadily attracted a readership since its initial preview launch this past September, with over 37,000 app launches and 20,000 issue downloads, Champion! Magazine made its 2012 debut Monday. 

Fans of comic books and pop culture will find that they now have "a Comic-Con experience right at their finger tips," says publisher Sam Simon.  The January edition features an exclusive cover photographed and costumed cosplay photo essay by pop culture icon Howard Stern, with true fans dressed in their own detailed recreations of their favorite comic characters from Marvel's Scarlet Witch to Star Wars hero, Chewbacca.

A video preview of the shoot can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/odmHRQyjpKE

Champion! offers previews and reviews of comic books, toys, television, movies and more.  The first 2012 issue features a new interview with pop culture icon Nicolas Cage, takes a behind the scenes tour of the J.J. Abrams FOX hit Alcatraz, catches up with Marvel Comics superstar Brian Michael Bendis as well as an enormous toy and collectible preview.

Robert Kirkman called Champion! "Kind of my favorite thing ever ... really innovative stuff," and USA Today praised, "Smart publications like this make me feel lucky to be an iPad owner!"  Designed for the iPad, Champion! is an innovative monthly "ultimate guide" to the world of comic books and pop culture, rife with industry news, in-depth interviews, product reviews and genre-specific recommendations from authentic and informed sources.

The marriage of content and technology gives readers an experience they can't get from print or a daily website or blog.  An evolutionary step forward in publishing for tablet media, Champion! fuses quality journalism with the latest interactive technology: a touch-screen experience incorporating movable images, audio clips, video, live Twitter feeds connecting readers with staff and other readers, and breaking-news updates as they occur.

"Why a digital magazine and not a blog?  What does the magazine format have to offer that makes it unique?" asks Champion! co-founder and editor-in-chief Mike Cotton.  "Our format is both familiar to readers while offering the most cutting-edge technology and interactivity.  Blogs and websites just don't have the impact or edge they once did.  Today, it's not about the Internet, it's about how you receive news and entertainment, and that's through apps."

Champion! is powered by Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition, a tablet publishing solution for highly designed, immersive content published across a variety of marketplaces and devices. To download the app, please visit http://bit.ly/Champion_app.

Champion! Magazine is led by a team of pop culture innovators including publisher Sam Simon, a nine-time Emmy winner best-known for "The Simpsons" and "The Drew Carey Show"; editor-in-chief Mike Cotton, who previously spent a decade at Wizard magazine and is now a weekly contributor to the Howard 101 "GEEKTIME!" radio show on SiriusXM; creative director Steve Blackwell, former Wizard magazine creative director and acclaimed freelance designer; and development director Ralph Cirella, creator of the fan favorite Howard 101 "GEEKTIME!" radio show on SiriusXM.

Grocery Shop While You Commute? Peapod by GIANT and Titan Make it Possible for Thousands of Philadelphia Commuters

Flagship brands including Coke, Stroehmann and P&G Partner for Virtual Rail Campaign

NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Philadelphians spend on average of nearly 30 minutes commuting to work.* That amounts to 2.5 hours per week. Imagine putting that time to good use by getting a jump start on your grocery shopping done while you're commuting.

If you have a smartphone - that possibility has just become a reality.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120208/NY49548 )

For the first time in the United States, Peapod the nation's largest internet grocer, is using Titan's transit advertising to get the word out about its mobile app for Philadelphia residents.  Once Peapod's mobile app is downloaded, people can shop smarter and faster - wherever they are.

Users simply scan the QR code listed in the ad to get the Peapod app, use the barcode icon to start scanning the items on the ads and once in the app, browse thousands of items - just as they would in the brick and mortar grocery store. Peapod is also running a special promotion.  Users are encouraged use "PHILLYRAIL" as a promo code for $20 off their first order and 60 days of free delivery.

Brands like Coke, Stroehmann and P&G have partnered with Peapod to reach on-the-go- consumers in this convenient, innovative way.

"At Peapod by GIANT we want to make it easier to grocery shop anywhere any time -- even while waiting for the train.  Using their smartphones or tablet computers, customers can shop for great products from GIANT in a new way," said Mike Brennan, COO, Peapod. "We chose Philadelphia to launch this initiative because it's a new and exciting market for us. Titan had the most compelling media property in the city and it just made sense for us to let commuters know about our free, convenient application."

Titan, the largest transit advertising firm in North America, has been the advertising partner of Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) which serves Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties since 2005.

"It's taking the grocery store and literally putting it on the train platform," said Jeff Randazzo, executive vice president, Titan general manager. "Combining our media formats with a compelling call to action like Peapod's grocery app is a great use of our medium. Who wouldn't want to put commuting time to good use by grocery shopping?"
