National Data Center Service Provider, CoreLink Data Centers, and Technology Management Company, Quest®, to Present Free Disaster Recovery Webinar

Event to Address How Organizations Can Assess Their Disaster Recovery Gaps and Implement an Optimal Disaster Recovery Strategy

MT. PROSPECT, Ill., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- National data center service provider, CoreLink Data Centers, LLC  (http://www.corelink.com/), on Feb. 9th will present a complimentary one-hour webinar addressing the importance for organizations of all sizes to take steps to protect customer and business data against natural and cyber attack-related disasters, and required business objectives and drivers that help determine the appropriate level of disaster recovery preparedness.

"Best Practices and Tools for Disaster Recovery Planning" is tailored to help Chief Information Officers; IT directors, managers and security professionals; business owners; and, disaster recovery and compliance executives evaluate risk and what steps to take and tools to use to formulate an effective disaster recovery plan.

According to data from the National Archives and Records Administration, 60% of businesses who lose their data will shut down within six months of the disaster. The impact is even more pronounced on healthcare organizations where patient data can have life or death consequences. Mike Dillon, Quest's Chief Technology Officer, and Nav Ranajee, CoreLink's Director of Healthcare, will address six points designed to help those responsible achieve maximum safety and integrity while discussing the role that data centers and back-up tools play in recovering and/or repairing lost data.

The webinar will also feature a case study spotlighting how one healthcare organization implemented a disaster recovery plan.

"Most organizations large and small are not as prepared for business disruptions as they think they are -- or need to be. Too many discover this hard truth only when something disruptive happens and the business can no longer function," Dillon said. "During this interactive session we will offer steps you can take to determine if your Disaster Recovery plans are adequate."

"Disaster recovery planning is increasingly becoming a priority for those IT executives for whom data is a core aspect to maintaining their business," Ranajee said. "Natural disasters fortunately don't take place as often as cyber attacks, which increasingly place network data at-risk. Natural or man-made, all organizations must know how to protect their businesses by conducting risk assessments and knowing how to formulate exactly the right disaster recovery plan for their specific organization."

"Working with data centers and leveraging the right back-up tools are among the most-effective steps they can take to both identify threats that prevent disasters and repair breaches to recover compromised data when they occur," Ranajee said.

Dillon and Ranjee will also discuss disaster recovery compliance regulations including HIPAA,  which healthcare providers must adhere, further increasing the importance of developing a comprehensive disaster recovery plan.

CoreLink's five data centers in Chicago, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Seattle are audited to be compliant with SSAE 16, PCI DSS and HIPAA Security. From these facilities, CoreLink supports and protects some of the world's most sensitive networks against the most sophisticated worms, trojans and viruses. The company provides customers with data center services that feature relentless managed security, continuous expert help, and full transparency backed with a 100 percent Uptime Service Level (SLA) guarantee.

CoreLink and Quest will present the free Feb. 9th webinar from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. CST. Attendees can register for the event by clicking here.

In addition to this webinar, CoreLink will host a presentation on Patient Critical Architecture and Disaster Recovery in Booth 8310 at 11:00 a.m. on Feb. 22nd at HIMSS 2012 in Las Vegas.

Nikon Selects NAVTEQ® Map for Their New COOLPIX AW Series of Digital Cameras

NAVTEQ location content enables map display and geotagging of photos

SINGAPORE, Feb. 2, 2012  /PRNewswire/ -- NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world is supplying NAVTEQ® map and location content for Nikon's COOLPIX AW series of compact digital cameras, the first COOLPIX devices targeted for outdoor users. The AW100 is Nikon's first compact digital camera with waterproof, shock-proof and cold-resistant specifications. In addition, the device is also equipped with a number of new features including GPS support, an electronic compass and a map display.

Unique to the AW100 is the ability for users to view their exact location on the map display that comes pre-loaded within the devices. Both devices are equipped with built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) functionality that allows geo-tagged images to be pinpointed via Point of Interest (POI) data supplied with the NAVTEQ map. The NAVTEQ map today features millions of POIs in over 50 categories including restaurants, tourist attractions, shops, hotels and much more. Thanks to the millions of locations included within the NAVTEQ map, the AW100 will recognize your location and display it, either as longitude and latitude, or by place name.  With the integration of maps and location content in the AW100, users can now geographically organize their photos effortlessly, allowing them to easily identify the exact location of where the photo was taken and when.

"With more and more consumers looking to integrate 'location' into their daily lives, our comprehensive global map coverage will now offer Nikon users an opportunity to combine their location and imaging experience." Said Kirk Mitchell, vice president, Asia Pacific, Sales.   

NAVTEQ collects millions of miles of data annually in order to capture and validate the road network and a wide range of location content as it exists in the real world.  Teams of geographic analysts positioned around the globe have the local knowledge needed to ensure superior accuracy of NAVTEQ maps covering 91 countries. Because the road network and content are constantly changing, local presence is critical to change detection and verification-- both essential factors in delivering quality map data for these types of new and innovative consumer uses.

The AW100 is available globally (except China and South Korea).

"On Valentine's Day and all year, we can all deepen our relationships and kindle the sparks of passion. Video is an incredible tool to strengthen and celebrate your bond because it is a more permanent, meaningful way to express love than just saying it," said Dr. Diana Kirschner.  "A personalized Animoto video is a simple way to thoughtfully and creatively express yourself to your loved ones and create the closeness you want --whether you are just dating or married for 20 years!"

utribo Connect Adds Unlimited Click-to-Call and Click-to-Video to Any Website or Social Network for Less Than $10 per Month

Ideal for Any B2B, B2C and C2C Online Community, Website or Contact Center, utribo's Turnkey Solution Works with Any Browser on Any Laptop or Desktop PC

GENEVA, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Click-to-call and click-to-video are two of the most effective ways for businesses to drive sales and improve customer care, but the cost and complexity of implementing them puts those services out of reach of most organizations. To provide websites, online communities, merchants and contact centers with a fast, cost-effective way to add voice and real-time video, utribo today launched Connect, a turnkey suite of multimedia services that works with any laptop or desktop PC, tablet or smartphone.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/MM66077LOGO)

With Connect, organizations create a unique URL that their customers, employees or business partners simply click on to initiate a voice call to a VoIP, mobile or PSTN number, or to access their organization's PBX. The URL also can automatically launch an HD video call, such as with a contact center representative, or a one-way video session, such as for an instant product demo. All of these services are available from any Windows or Mac Web browser.

Connect is designed to simplify user access while providing flexible security options. Customers, employees or business partners can contact Connect subscribers anonymously, via their Facebook or Twitter account, or through website authentication.

Connect packages a service suite previously available only to Web developers with four bundles of connectivity, security and features:

    --  The free Basic tier includes one-to-one voice and video calls for a
        single destination.
    --  The $9.99/month Enhanced tier adds features such as visual voice mail,
        one-way video, call routing to PSTN numbers, public SIP addresses and
        authenticated calling, along with the option of additional destinations.
    --  The $49.99/month Enterprise tier adds features such as support for up to
        10 concurrent calls and enhanced support service levels.
    --  The competitively priced Carrier tier adds features such as unlimited
        concurrent calls and SIP trunking, and access to utribo internal APIs.
    --  All four bundles include caller licenses and unlimited usage, providing
        predictable operating costs.
Connect's technology-agnostic design enables rapid deployment and low development costs, so organizations can assess the market for new communications services quickly and with minimal risk. For example, a discount travel website could use Connect to increase calls to drive additional revenue, while insurance companies can use Connect to extend their contact centers to social media sites or enable video concierge services. Connect also enables organizations to add multimedia interactivity to sales-team sites and business workflows such as CRM/ERP.

"Connect is a fast, high-quality, inexpensive, low-risk way to add multimedia interactivity to nearly any application or vertical, from banking to gaming to dating," said utribo Co-Founder and CEO Alain Sturzenegger. "With Connect, businesses can differentiate themselves by providing superior sales and customer-care experiences, and they can leverage the rapidly growing installed base of video devices to provide consumers with a convenient new way to communicate both with their organization and with one another."

About utriboutribo is the first commercially available service based on WebRTC and provides a turnkey suite of rich voice and video communication services that works with any browser on any laptop or desktop PC. Companies, websites and carriers can quickly integrate the utribo suite into their website to provide their customers, employees and members with a variety of multimedia communications options -- all without specific knowledge of the underlying technology.

Trover Builds Communities Around Location-Based Discoveries

Trover Lists and new social features help users connect around fun things to see and do

SEATTLE, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trover, Inc. a company created for explorers worldwide, today announced new features for its SoLoMo app designed specifically to help build communities around discoveries. These include "Lists" that allow users to create collections of things to do, @Name Tags to tag friends in discovery comments and invite them to see and share activities of common interest, and a redesigned News Feed to tune-in to friends and their latest Trover activity.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/SF46271)

Lists add a powerful level of personalization and utility to Trover's entertaining social content. By far the most-requested feature by Trover users, Lists enables casual browsers to collect interesting things to see and do over time. Rich, visual discoveries from friends and local experts become the source for handpicked lists of local restaurants to try, hikes to plan and far-flung destinations to dream about. Lists also offer a fun way for friends to share their local recommendations and adventure stories with others who wish to follow their paths. Trover discoveries and lists provide an everyday tool to inspire and guide any explorer's next outing. 

"Trover enables community members to serve as both individual explorers and tour guides by curating hidden gems that reveal the fabric, culture and activities of a neighborhood or surrounding area," says Jason Karas, Trover CEO. "The new features announced today are designed to help users build community around a rapidly expanding collection of geo-located discoveries."

Trover inspires people to delve into their surroundings, tapping their curiosity, creativity and desire to share local gems with other explorers. The images on Trover are breathtaking and also useful. Viewing images arranged in a geo-organized way on Trover is proving fun and more engaging than scanning a list of text-based search results, and often leads users to visit interesting places they never knew existed. 

Growing Body of Content for Austin and SXSW
To build a base of genuinely useful, beautiful and unique local content, Trover hosts discovery walks, and taps local explorers who know areas, post seeds of interesting things to see and do, and who catalyze the community. On February 18(th), Austin explorers can trek through one of the city's most evolving neighborhoods at the Discover East Austin Mobile Photo Walk.

Trover is targeting SXSW as a major opportunity to introduce people to the fun of exploring with Trover. Hourly "hidden gem" walking tours, "Live Painting" graffiti parties and discovery competitions are some elements of the program. More specific details will be announced shortly.

SXSW Interactive has also nominated Trover for a "Community Award" for social networks and wikis that have quickly developed an extraordinarily active multi-user community and an exceptional following of users who assist with content development.

About Trover
Founded in April 2011, Trover is a mobile discovery network designed to allow people to share location-specific discoveries of remarkable places and things in a fun, visual way. Its community of explorers worldwide is building a unique resource of amazing discoveries that's fun, entertaining, and over time will grow increasingly useful.

Callaway Golf Introduces the All-New HEX Black Tour

Greater Spin Separation for Optimized Performance from Tee to Green

CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the March 2(nd) worldwide availability of the all-new HEX Black Tour(TM) golf ball. The product of a multi-year Research & Development enterprise, Callaway's HEX Black Tour features a host of new and proprietary technologies that differentiate this ultra-premium golf ball from every round, white, dimpled, 1.620-ounce ball in the game. The engineering advancements -- including an innovative dual-core construction, an exceptionally durable cover material and revolutionary HEX Aerodynamics -- combine to deliver a five-piece golf ball with better Spin Separation and all-around performance characteristics than any previous introduction from Callaway.

A golf ball that yields distance-enhancing low spin off the tee, while still providing the superior control that comes from generating more spin around the greens, has long been held as the "holy grail" of golf ball design.  The measured differential between the high spin generated on shorter approach shots into the green and the optimal low spin off the driver for maximum distance off the tee is called Spin Separation, and Callaway's all-new HEX Black Tour has it in spades. 

"I've had more fun working on my game with the new HEX Black Tour ball than I have in years because I've been able to hit shots around the green that I haven't been able to hit since the '90s with wound balls," said four-time Major Champion and Callaway Golf staff professional Phil Mickelson. "The amazing thing to me is the spin separation; how this ball spins so much from 40 yards in, and yet spins so little off the driver and goes so far. I've never seen a ball with that combination of short-range control and distance."

"We took a unique approach in the design of our new HEX Black Tour golf ball and the investments we've made in new technology over the past few years have culminated in this innovative 5-piece construction," said Dave Bartels, Sr. Director, Golf Ball Research & Development, Callaway Golf.  The level of Spin Separation golfers will experience can be attributed to our advanced i-Core technology and new DuraSpin cover material.  Our advanced dual-mantle system and optimized HEX Aerodynamic design produce the ball speed and flight characteristics to benefit all golfers."

Offering complete performance from tee to green with exceptional feel, the HEX Black Tour golf ball's construction includes various layers of innovative technology, all offering functional and meaningful advancements. These technologies and the benefits of each are outlined below:

i-Core Technology 
This dual core construction maximizes the compression difference between the inner and outer core layers.  The extremely soft inner core helps reduce spin off the tee for more distance, while the high compression outer core creates higher spin closer to the green for more control with irons and wedges.  This relationship allows HEX Black Tour to achieve higher Spin Separation than any of our previous products.

Dual Mantle
Both the inner and outer mantles are comprised of ionomer blends in different ratios to affect the hardness and resilience of each mantle layer. In combination, the soft inner and firm outer mantles protect the high-tech dual core while producing powerful ball speeds across a range of swing speeds.

DuraSpin Cover
This proprietary cover formulation was developed using a unique thermoplastic urethane (TPU) blend with excellent mechanical properties and durability characteristics. Compared to previous materials employed by Callaway, durability has significantly improved to better prevent marks and scratches throughout the round. The new DuraSpin cover is also very soft and gives players the feel and exceptional short-game spin they seek in a high performance Tour golf ball.

HEX Aerodynamics
Callaway's patented HEX Aerodynamics produce 100 percent surface area coverage on a golf ball whereas traditional round dimples typically cover only 88 percent of the surface.  HEX Black Tour has the traditional HEX appearance, but with an enhanced surface contour, a more consistent finish system, and optimized performance resulting from hours upon hours of aerodynamic development. This highly engineered pattern provides the best aerodynamic performance ever in a Callaway golf ball, reducing drag and promoting a stable, penetrating ball flight in all types of playing conditions.

HEX Black Tour will be available on March 2(nd) at a New Product Introduction Retail Price of $45.99 per dozen.

High-resolution images of all Callaway Golf products are available for immediate download via the Press Center portion of Callaway Golf's website: http://www.callawaygolf.com/PressCenter.

Qualcomm Chipset Powers First Successful VoIP-Over-LTE Call With Single Radio Voice Call Continuity

-- Successful Completion of a Voice Call Handover from LTE to WCDMA Network Marks Key Milestone in Development of VoLTE --

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that the Company, working with Ericsson, has successfully completed the first voice call handover from an LTE mobile network to a WCDMA network using Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC). An important technology required for voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) support, SRVCC is a 3GPP specified feature that enables continuity of service by seamlessly switching to a WCDMA network when a consumer on a VoLTE call leaves the LTE network's coverage area. This milestone occurred on December 23, 2011 with an Ericsson network using a handset which incorporated Qualcomm's Snapdragon(TM) S4 MSM8960 3G/LTE multimode processor. A demonstration will be available at Qualcomm's booth at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain February 27 - March 1, 2012.

"As LTE networks are deployed alongside 3G networks, the ability for multimode 3G/LTE mobile devices to connect to different network technologies will be an important part of providing the best possible mobile voice and data experience to consumers," said Cristiano Amon, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm. "Qualcomm is committed to the successful deployment of LTE networks worldwide in conjunction with 3G networks, and the milestone we've achieved with Ericsson is another step towards making VoLTE technology a commercial reality."

SRVCC is the next logical step in the 4G LTE voice roadmap following the commercial launch of circuit-switched fallback technology (CSFB) on smartphones in 2011. CSFB allows a single radio in the handset to dynamically switch from an LTE data connection to a 3G connection when the user needs to make or receive a call. Similarly, SRVCC support enables a single radio in the handset to execute a seamless handover of a voice call from an LTE network to a 3G network. Furthermore, SRVCC and CSFB allow both LTE and 3G network connections to be supported on a single chip, eliminating the need for smartphones to use separate LTE and 3G radios and modems. This allows OEMs to design handsets with lower power consumption and component costs and a smaller size. Given that 3G networks will continue to be deployed in conjunction with LTE networks for quite some time, SRVCC and CSFB are essential to provide a seamless voice experience to customers using LTE multimode handsets once VoLTE is commercially deployed. Qualcomm is committed to ensuring the best voice performance to users in LTE networks through industry-leading CSFB and SRVCC technologies.

Tucows Launches Ting - A New US Mobile Phone Service

Ting Promises "Mobile That Makes Sense"

TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC), a
global Internet services company dedicated to making simple useful
services that unlock the power of the Internet, today announced the
launch of Ting, a mobile phone service dedicated to bringing clarity
and control to US mobile phone customers.

Small businesses and families in the US are overpaying for mobile
service and underserved by their mobile service providers. With Ting,
Tucows seeks to offer a fresh alternative by emphasizing clarity,
usability, a sincere commitment to customer support and significant
monthly savings.

"What people are forced to put up with from mobile service providers
just doesn't make sense. It's too complicated, too opaque, too
adversarial, too expensive and frankly too inhuman," said Elliot Noss,
CEO of Tucows. "We're changing that. Ting is a mobile service that
makes sense."

Ting has a very different approach to pricing than the major providers.
Minutes, messages and megabytes are each billed separately. If
customers use less of any than they anticipated, they are credited at
the end of the month. If they use more, they are simply billed the
appropriate additional amount, without onerous penalties or premiums.
Businesses and families can pool an unlimited number of phones and data
devices on one Ting account, offering even greater savings over other
providers' more limited sharing options.

People considering Ting are encouraged to instantly calculate how much
they'll save with Ting by entering past bills from their current
provider into the Ting Phone Savings Calculator on the Ting site (http://ting.com/calculator).

The site offers customers clear, visual snapshots of their usage
throughout the month and a great deal of administrative control over
usage and device features.

The customer support team boasts a "no hold policy" from 8am-8pm ET
Monday through Friday and "geek support" from smart, passionate people
that are empowered to solve problems.

Ting is now available to US businesses and families at Ting.com (http://ting.com).

About Tucows

Tucows is a global Internet services company. OpenSRS (http://opensrs.com) manages over eleven million domain names and millions of email boxes
through a reseller network of over 12,000 web hosts and ISPs. Hover (http://hover.com) is the easiest way for individuals and small businesses to manage

Broadband Internet: Comprehensive New Study Based on 52 Million Actual User Tests Finds Canada's Broadband Internet Services Very Competitive Worldwide

MONTREAL, February 2, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    The results of fifty-two million end-user speed tests have shown Canada as a global
contender in broadband internet performance, ranking often in the top ten of international
countries, according to a new report by LEMAY-YATES ASSOCIATES Inc.

    LYA benchmarked six key broadband internet metrics, covering cost and performance
indicators as well as household penetration in G7 and 32 Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Based on data from more than 52 million
actual user speed tests, LYA has found that the performance of Canada's broadband internet
services is significantly better than rankings in previous international studies, which
are often only based on advertised Internet speeds.

    "The results of LYA's analysis demonstrate that Canada's broadband internet metrics
are often in the top quartile among these countries, not near the bottom as reported by
some organizations including the OECD," noted Ms. Johanne Lemay, co-author of the Report
at LYA. "Using actual tests conducted by users gives a far more accurate measure of
performance than simply basing findings on what internet service providers advertise their
broadband internet speeds to be."

    The LYA report has ranked Canada seventh (7th least expensive) out of 32 OECD
countries when comparing average monthly broadband subscription costs. Out of 32 OECD
countries, Canada ranks 12th in average Cost of a Mbps of Downstream Speed to end users -
more than two times better than the 2011 OECD ranking.

    Additional findings from the LYA report are:

   
    - Canada takes the number one spot in highest broadband penetration among G7
      countries at 74%, significantly ahead of the United Kingdom and France at 69.2% and
      69%, respectively. Using the latest data available, LYA found Canada ranks seventh out
      of 32 OECD countries in the same metric, up from the 10th spot as reported by the
      OECD.
    - Canada's average consumer broadband speed performance comes in at the top half
      with 11.5 Mbps, in 15th place, faster than average speeds seen by consumers in France
      and the U.K.

    The statistics are particularly meaningful when Canada's large geographical land mass
and sparse population is taken into consideration. Canada has the best performance with
respect to broadband speeds and penetration when compared to countries with similar very
large geography, notably the United States and Australia.

    This study was sponsored by Rogers Communications Inc., a leading Canadian
telecommunications carrier. LYA found that not only does Canada rank amongst world's best
in internet cost and performance, but the average Rogers broadband subscriber:

   
    - Benefits from higher download speeds (average 15.6 Mbps) than the average
      broadband subscriber in Canada (average 11.5 Mbps)
    - Pays less for each Megabit per Second of Downstream Speed compared to the
      average Canadian broadband subscriber ($1.99 vs. $2.68 USD PPP)

    This independent study was conducted by LEMAY-YATES ASSOCIATES INC. (LYA). The
methodology for the study was developed by LYA and LYA conducted significant research on
internet statistics and pricing among G7 and OECD countries using the latest and most
reliable information available, as well as acquired data on user broadband speed tests
from Ookla Inc. The LYA study provides detailed results for 32 OECD countries.

    For further information:

    The study was finalized in December 2011, based on user tests and pricing research
from mid-2011. To obtain a copy of the study, please fill out the form on LYA's web site

ESCORT Offers Enhanced Car Dealer Profit Opportunities at 2012 NADA Show with Award-Winning Premium Automotive Accessories

ESCORT Inc., the industry leader of radar detection technology, announced the debut of its all-new ESCORT SmartSite(TM) Rearview Camera System at the 2012 NADA Show. Also appearing alongside SmartSite(TM) is the multi-award winning ESCORT Live(TM) real-time ticket protection network and ESCORT's business fleet office solution, ESCORT SmartOffice(TM), and ESCORT MobileTV(TM), a connected Mobile Digital TV receiver.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ESCORT Inc. (http://www.ESCORTinc.com), designer and manufacturer of the world's best premium automotive accessories, announced the debut of its all-new ESCORT SmartSite(TM) RearView Camera System at the 2012 NADA Show (National Automobile Dealers Association) in Las Vegas this week. The new SmartSite(TM) product is one more in a continually expanding line of category leading product opportunities designed exclusively to help car dealers increase their sales growth.

ESCORT will also feature two products that were announced at last month's CES Show (Consumer Electronics Show) - ESCORT's QuickStart(TM) Remote Start and Security System and the all-new SmartRadar(TM) Bluetooth enabled windshield mount radar detector.

ESCORT is encouraging NADA show attendees and car dealers to see the new SmartSite(TM) RearView Camera System, QuickStart(TM) Remote Start, the new SmartRadar(TM) detector and ESCORT's full line of premium automotive accessories at the ESCORT NADA Show booth #2878 (Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center).

ESCORT will also be displaying the award-winning ESCORT Live(TM) ticket protection app, the ultimate social network for the road, and ESCORT's SmartOffice(TM) mobile rugged PC office solution for business fleets and ESCORT's MobileTV(TM) consumer mobile digital TV solution.

"It's widely known that ESCORT provides the most advanced radar and laser defense on the market," said ESCORT President and CEO John Larson. "We've raised that bar with Escort Live(TM) and continue to redefine 'driving smarter' for both car dealers and their customers with new technologies like SmartSite(TM) for obstacle detection, Smart Office(TM) for business fleets and MobileTV(TM) for TV on the go."

With its anti-glare 4.3" LCD full color display screen integrated into an OEM rearview replacement mirror assembly, ESCORT SmartSite(TM) uses a rear-mount camera (included) to provide customers with a real-time field-of-view of obstacles in their path when operating their vehicles in reverse. With safety in mind, ESCORT is providing car dealers with a product that directly helps their customers drive smarter by dramatically increasing awareness of their vehicle's immediate rearview environment.

"Our message around the new ESCORT SmartSite(TM) Reverse Camera System is simple," said Dave Smidebush, Vice-president of Marketing. "Drivers typically understand that there is always the possibility of risk when backing up -- our new SmartSite(TM) Reverse Camera System is about giving drivers complete confidence in knowing what's behind them before they make any unknown move when backing."

In addition to the new SmartSite(TM) Rearview Camera System, ESCORT is demonstrating several other car dealer specific product opportunities.

ESCORT SmartOffice(TM) rugged, mobile PC consolidates complete office functionality into a single, lightweight, connected mobile device. Based on familiar Microsoft Windows 7 OS and complete PC functionality, SmartOffice(TM) includes navigation, point-of-sale credit card processing, fleet vehicle management, remote inventory/CRM management, barcode/RFID reader, reverse camera option and fleet transportation/logistics monitoring. SmartOffice(TM) gives business fleets and service providers office tools and more right where they work, in the field, in real time.

ESCORT is also spotlighting MobileTV(TM), a connected Mobile Digital TV (MDTV) receiver that quickly and easily allows consumers to receive digital TV on their WIFI-enabled smartphone, iPad or similar video-capable device while in moving vehicles.

ESCORT will be demonstrating its highly successful multi-award winning ESCORT Live(TM) ticket protection network. Winner of five major industry awards, ESCORT Live(TM) uses Bluetooth technology embedded in SmartCord Live(TM) cords and a unique app for the driver's smartphone. When alerts are detected, they are transmitted to the ESCORT Live(TM) "cloud" and then broadcast across the ESCORT Live(TM) network, notifying drivers of potential ticket threats. In addition to network alerts, the new smartphone app technology provides ESCORT's industry-leading Defender® database of red light and speed-ticketing camera locations and speed traps as well as ESCORT's patented GPS features including posted speed limit information, over-speed limit alerts, live traffic for route optimization and more.

ESCORT's appearance at NADA's national annual event in Las Vegas affirms the company's strong commitment to supporting automotive dealers with increased opportunities to sell and generate additional revenue streams by offering them ESCORT's premium automotive accessories.

Exclusively for NADA, ESCORT is also highlighting their complete line of custom installed radar detection systems as an incremental profit opportunity for dealers. ESCORT's premiere installed model, the PASSPORT 9500ci(TM) Custom Installed unit, is easy for dealers to sell. A major reason is ESCORT's unrelenting radar and laser detector dominance as exhibited with the 9500ci series. Another example is the PASSPORT 9500ci's award winning GPS-Powered speed and location intelligence. The 9500ci is the world's only custom installed radar and laser defense system to possess this type of GPS advanced technology. And to help make it even easier for dealers to sell custom installed systems, ESCORT offers several lower price point models including the PASSPORT 8500ci Plus(TM) and the extremely competitive PASSPORT 8500ci(TM) custom installed units. Installation costs, a major concern for dealerships, are dramatically reduced with ESCORT's quick connect wiring harness and self-test diagnostics that communicate proper operation upon completion.

ESCORT's complete line of premium automotive accessories including the new ESCORT SmartSite(TM) Reverse Camera System, ESCORT Live(TM), ESCORT SmartOffice(TM) mobile rugged PC and ESCORT's MobileTV(TM) solution, will be on display at the ESCORT show booth (Central Hall, booth #2878) during the NADA show (February 3-6) at the Las Vegas Convention Center here.

Roke Appointed as UK Government's Only PRIME Conformance Test Facility

ROMSEY, England, February 2, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Roke Manor Research Ltd (Roke), a Chemring Group company, has been appointed by CESG,
the UK Government's National Technical Authority for Information Assurance, as the UK's
only Conformance Test Facility for Protocol Requirements for IP Modular Encryption
(PRIME). The PRIME framework is the UK's framework for ensuring interoperability between
large UK government networks such as the Public Services Network (PSN).

    All network encryption devices claiming conformance to the PRIME framework
specifications must undergo independent third-party testing by Roke as part of the PRIME
certification process. Testing is conducted using the Tester for IP Modular Encryption
(TIME) tool, which is software developed by Roke to test whether a device conforms to the
PRIME specifications.

    Tom Murdoch, Head of Cryptography for Information Assurance at CESG, said: "I'm really
delighted by this news. PRIME is the UK's strategic standard for IP crypto, so it's
essential that we are able to offer this flavour of conformance testing."

    Stephen Grinham, Managing Director at Roke Manor Research, said: "By building on our
existing conformance and interoperability testing capability, the PRIME service further
establishes Roke as product independent experts in the field of IP network encryption. The
combination of our HAIPE and PRIME knowledge, our independence and our extensive
experience of testing for fixed and mobile networks in the commercial and defence sectors
makes expanding our testing services into the PRIME domain an easy transition. Our
appointment as the PRIME Conformance Test Facility for the UK is testament to Roke's
pedigree in this area."

    Roke will also offer device vendors an informal pre-accreditation test service, where
an experienced team of engineers will be available to recommend how any non-conformances
might be resolved before embarking on the full test and PRIME conformance process. A
number of additional services, such as customised versions of the TIME tool to test
proprietary device features, will also save vendors time and money which would otherwise
have been spent performing manual tests.

    In addition to providing conformance testing services to device vendors, Roke will
also offer fully customisable testing programmes to system integrators and government
customers. Current testing programmes include single device, interoperability, stress and
performance testing, as well as system testing using full network topologies. Roke also
provides integration consultancy and customised testing programmes, including the latest
High Assurance IP Encryptor (HAIPE), PRIME and NATO networked crypto interoperability
specification versions.

Get Challenged, Get Healthy With HubbubHealth.com, a New Online Mobile Playground

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambia Health Solutions has launched http://www.HubbubHealth.com, an online mobile playground that uses gaming and competition to motivate players to make lasting lifestyle changes and meet their personal health goals. Players on Hubbub Health have already lost nearly 1,500 pounds, and walked, stepped, run and jumped at least 16,000 miles to better health. This includes the Utah-based Western Governors University, that has successfully engaged its employees in over 900 challenges since joining the Hubbub community in November 2011.

"Hubbub Health was an instant success among our employees," said Carrie Westover with Western Governors University. "We plan to continue to use Hubbub as our primary employee wellness supporter. It's easy, fun, and our employees are seeing positive changes in their health as a result of it!"

"For the first time ever, healthcare nerds, gamer geeks and fitness fanatics have worked together to create something that combines the best of all three worlds," said Hubbub Health lead Tony Bacos. "And Hubbub Health is the result."

About Hubbub

Hubbub is free to the public. It may be accessed by visiting the web site or through the app store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id467210688. Once players enter http://www.HubbubHealth.com or download the app onto a mobile device, they can create a profile or log in through their Facebook account. Additionally, a mobile Web experience is available at m.hubbubhealth.com for players with smart phones. After joining the Hubbub Health community, players are then encouraged to join or start their own public or private challenges on everything from weight loss to stress management to nutrition, earning badges, and capitalizing on other motivational boosts to keep the momentum going.

Hubbub Health is a unique social networking community that challenges and empowers users to make smart health and wellness choices. Hubbub's mix of fun and healthy living strategies offers members the support they need to make personal changes. Hubbub Health is wholly owned subsidiary of Cambia Health Solutions, a nationwide health and wellness company headquartered in the Pacific Northwest.

Additional features and upgrades are available for purchase by employer groups, like health coaching, Wi-Fi scales that track your weight, computerized blood pressure monitoring devices, and real-time data reports on their employees' progress towards better health. Incentive programs are also available for purchase, tracking employee progress to reward them with virtual gift cards through Amazon.com when milestones are met.

Success Stories

Hubbub Health employees have already been leading the way by using the service to achieve better health. Like Brian Berchtold, director of Hubbub's business development efforts, who has lost more than 20 pounds since April 2011 as one of the first users of the Hubbub Health beta platform. "I was overweight, and needing medication for high cholesterol and blood pressure," said Brian. "I realized I was working within an organization that could support my need to improve my health, and was even giving me the motivational tools I needed. In fact, as a result, I was taken off of my cholesterol and blood pressure medications."

Brian joined a few basic challenges to get started and eventually enlisted the help of a Hubbub Health Coach, Michelle, to set challenges specific to his situation. Since April he has gone from being able to complete just one mile, to completing his third half-marathon (exceeding his goal of running a sub-10 minute mile through the entire course).

"Like many people, I'd tried different diets and plans to lose weight, but nothing really stuck until I joined the Hubbub community - with friends and co-workers providing the subtle nudge I needed to keep me going," said Brian. "Hubbub gets me moving, holds me accountable, and provides ideas for other healthy lifestyle choices. I can't wait to finish a long run and check-in on my phone to post a 'prove it' photo!"

Prevail and Milicruit Link Their Online Platforms to Provide a Veteran Reintegration Resource That Addresses Unemployment

CHICAGO, Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In December, Prevail Health Solutions began the roll-out of a new online program called Vets Prevail (http://www.vetsprevail.org) that assists veterans with reintegration into civilian life.  Separately, Milicruit has created and maintains a 24/7 "Virtual Career Fair" (http://www.veteranscareerfair.com) allowing companies to interact with and recruit veterans looking for jobs in a online environment that delivers the benefits of a traditional career fair without the cost and inconvenience. Last week the leaders of Prevail and Milicruit reached an agreement to provide participants in the Vets Prevail program who are seeking employment with seamless access to the Milicruit platform.

The reintegration challenges of the current generation of veterans returning from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are well documented. In too many cases, the normal reactions to the stresses of deployment and military service go unaddressed, and veterans fall into patterns of thought and behavior that can lead to mental disorders.  These, in turn, cascade into problems such as unemployment, substance abuse, and domestic violence. 

The Vets Prevail program is a proactive approach to engaging reluctant care seekers and bringing them the support they need, building resilience against mental health issues before they start.  "Veterans are not a charity case, they're a tremendous national resource," said Richard Gengler, CEO of Prevail. "Vets Prevail is about connecting with this group of healthy, hard-working, highly functional individuals and giving them the tools and support they need to stay that way."

One of the most significant challenges veterans face is entering the civilian labor force. Many are failing to make this transition, with an unemployment rate of 11.5% for all veterans of the current conflicts and 21.9% for those who are young males (ages 18-24). Veteran reintegration difficulties and veteran unemployment are inextricably linked, with one often feeding into the other. "We believe you can't have a successful reintegration program without addressing employment, and that is why we are linking Vets Prevail with Milicruit, an organization with a national solution that has proven it can connect veterans with jobs."

Milicruit employs best-in-class virtual meeting and collaboration software to allow employers, veterans and military spouses the opportunity to meet and interact in an online environment no matter where they might be located. "Veterans are looking for work and many of the greatest companies in this country want to hire them," said Kevin O'Brien, CEO of Milicruit. "Milicruit lowers the barriers, making the process of finding and hiring the right veteran talent work better for everyone."

The Vets Prevail and Milicruit partnership creates the nation's most comprehensive online solution targeting the problem of high veteran unemployment. Veterans can engage in an easily accessible and stigma free program, get support and build the mental resilience necessary to succeed in the job market, and meet and interact with recruiters from companies interested in hiring veterans.

About Prevail Health Solutions
Prevail Health Solutions is a Veteran-owned small business founded specifically to help address the mental health issues epidemic among Veterans and Service Members returning from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Prevail has been working for the last three and a half years with the backing of the National Science Foundation to develop the technology that underlies Vets Prevail.  The ongoing national roll-out of Vets Prevail is being led by Rush University Medical Center, a leading clinical, teaching, and research medical center.

About UBM Studios' Milicruit                       
Milicruit is the recognized leader in virtual recruiting environments for military veterans.  Powered by UBM Studios, Milicruit brings employers who are committed to helping returning veterans find suitable employment together with job-seeking military veterans and their spouses.  Given the large number of veterans looking to reenter the civilian job market, Milicruit allows employers and job seekers to meet and interact in a convenient online setting.  For additional information on Milicruit or to purchase virtual career fair services, visit http://www.veteranscareerfair.com

The RLJ Companies Launches OppsPlace.com - A Targeted Website That Will Aggregate Minority Professionals and Business Owners Seeking Jobs and Business Opportunities With Corporate America

OppsPlace Provides a Much Needed Single Destination for Companies Looking to Hire Minorities and Qualified Minority Businesses for Vendor Supplier Opportunities

BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert L. Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies, in collaboration with Ariel M. Friedler, president of Symplicity Corporation, the market leader in online career tools, today announced the launch of OppsPlace.com. OppsPlace provides companies with the best opportunity to find qualified, minority job seekers and minority businesses in one online destination.  OppsPlace is free of charge for job seekers and minority firms and allows corporate human resources and procurement executives to easily access qualified job seekers and qualified minority businesses for openings to provide the best opportunities.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100907/PH60132LOGO )

"I created OppsPlace for several reasons," said Johnson. "First to reduce the disparity in unemployment for minority Americans and to increase access for vendor services and supplier contracts for minority businesses. Second, I also created OppsPlace to provide corporate America with a targeted destination to identify and interact with minorities for employment and business opportunities. With over 30 charter member companies who have joined OppsPlace, it clearly demonstrates their commitment to diversity and inclusion," he added. "As more U.S. companies, large and small, become OppsPlace members, OppsPlace will help reduce unemployment for millions of minority Americans, will provide access to capital to thousands of minority businesses, and will help drive the economic recovery of this country by giving minority Americans a fair shot which they deserve to participate fully in the American Dream," he concluded.

"Unique to OppsPlace is the profile builder which allows companies to focus on their diversity initiatives, mentorship programs, business match-making as well vendor/supplier opportunities," said Friedler," said Ariel Friedler, president of Symplicity Corporation and co-founder of OppsPlace. "OppsPlace is not a destination to simply upload a standard resume, but it is a platform that allows job seekers and minority businesses to network with each other and interact with professionals at hiring companies," he concluded.

"OppsPlace is much more than a jobs board," said Kelli Richardson Lawson, president and COO of OppsPlace. "It is a diverse online network that aggregates rich content and resources in one destination and is dedicated to helping job seekers and minority business owners engage directly with key decision makers in corporate America," she added. "It is the only place on the web that aggregates job seekers and minority businesses in the spirit of helping communities of color enhance their lives and financial well-being," she concluded.

For many years, Johnson has been focused on creating opportunities for minorities and recently announced the RLJ Rule for public and private sector businesses. The RLJ Rule is an adaptation of the National Football League's (NFL) Rooney Rule, which requires the 32 teams, to interview at least one qualified minority candidate whenever a head coaching or general manager position become available. The RLJ Rule is designed to encourage companies to voluntarily establish a "best practices" policy of diversity and inclusion by identifying and interviewing minority candidates or vendors that are often overlooked under traditional hiring or procurement practices.

OppsPlace and the RLJ Rule are two solutions where Johnson believes businesses both large and small can take direct action to increase employment and business opportunities for minority Americans.

To date, more than 30 companies have joined OppsPlace as Charter Members:
