Virco Launches Electronic Health Record and Data Reporting Module Designed Specifically for the HIV/AIDS Treatment Community: AVIGA(TM) and AVIGA REPORTER(TM)

Release of AVIGA(TM) Family of Products Ushers in New Era of HIV Care by Allowing Health Care Professionals to Manage, Analyze and Act Upon Clinical Data

RARITAN, N.J., Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Virco Lab, Inc., the U.S. affiliate of Virco BVBA, today announced the launch of AVIGA(TM) and AVIGA REPORTER(TM). AVIGA(TM) is a web-based electronic health record (EHR) solution with HIV/AIDS disease-specific functionality and AVIGA REPORTER(TM) is a web-based, data-reporting module designed specifically for the purposes of conducting HIV/AIDS research and providing reporting capabilities. AVIGA REPORTER(TM) can be used as a standalone product or integrated with an existing EHR. Both products can provide local and federal data reporting, including requirements for Ryan White Care Act funding.

"The launch of AVIGA(TM) and AVIGA REPORTER(TM) represents a significant milestone in addressing the needs of HIV healthcare providers, enabling highly efficient research and reporting capabilities from the users' desktop," said David Rebey, Head of U.S. Business Operations, Virco Lab, Inc. "The AVIGA(TM) family of products is at the forefront of HIV/AIDS EHR technology, allowing healthcare professionals to realize the power and benefits of health information technology so they spend less time on paper-work and more on effectively managing their patients' complex, health care needs through generating insights from the mass of clinical data."

Virco BVBA acquired the electronic medical record LABTRACKER(TM) HIV in December 2009 from its originator company, Ground Zero Software. Since the acquisition, Virco has completely re-developed the platform in collaboration with the HIV treatment community. AVIGA(TM) allows users to collect, manage and analyze patient data from physicians, pharmacies, labs and clinics. The software's HIV/AIDS specific functionality offers health care providers an analytical module, and the capability to graph such clinical indicators as viral load and CD4 trends against antiretroviral therapy and integrate longitudinal resistance profiles.

AVIGA REPORTER(TM) is a data-reporting module that will primarily serve as a reporting and querying tool for both local and federal data reporting, including requirements for Ryan White Care Act funding. This module can interface with other commercial EHRs and software applications, specifically capturing and configuring medical information necessary for HIV reporting or research.

AVIGA(TM) has achieved modular certification for Stage One Meaningful Use requirements in the U.S. by the Drummond Group, one of the Office of the National Coordinator's Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) providers. The certification is in accordance with the applicable eligible provider certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. AVIGA(TM) users can qualify for federal incentives under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) during 2011/20121. (AVIGA REPORTER(TM) does not meet the Meaningful Use requirements since it is not a fully functional, free-standing EHR).

About Virco BVBA and Virco Lab, Inc.

Virco Lab, Inc. is the U.S. affiliate of Virco BVBA, a global diagnostic and healthcare solutions company based in Belgium, and a pioneer and leader in HIV resistance interpretation. In addition to providing resistance interpretation with the use of its virco®TYPE HIV-1, education and facilitating access to resistance interpretation worldwide, Virco actively collaborates with hospitals and academic institutions in researching solutions with virological and clinical relevance in HIV, HCV and other infectious diseases.

Virco's mission is to facilitate personalized clinical decision-making via advanced diagnostic and bioinformatic tools. Since the acquisition of LABTRACKER HIV(TM) in December 2009, Virco Lab, Inc. has been providing support and service for LABTRACKER HIV(TM) clients in the U.S. while redevelopment and planning were underway for the new and improved application AVIGA(TM).

ZENS Launches First Qi Wireless Charging Apple iPhone Products in China With Channel Partners

China online shopping mall, coffee shops and Apple authorized retailers debut Qi wireless charging

BEIJING, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- ZENS, the First European brand supporting the global Qi wireless charging standard, today announced its launch of the first Qi Apple iPhone products in China.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111215/CN23326 )

"ZENS has always been committed to changing our lives with innovative thinking and technologies. China is the largest mobile terminal market in the world. ZENS will provide the top-quality Qi wireless charging experience to Chinese customers," said Global Sales Director Johan Plasmans.

ZENS -- Pioneer of the QiStandard

Qi, the global standard for wireless charging, allows devices to be charged just by placing them on any Qi charging surface without connecting cords or wires. Qi offers simplicity, convenience, and flexibility by ensuring wireless charging interoperability between any Qi-enabled device and any Qi charger, regardless of manufacturer or brand.

Just like Bluetooth® set the standard for exchanging data over short distances or Wi-Fi(TM) set the standard for wireless networking, Qi sets the standard for wireless charging. Compatibility between all Qi products is assured when you see the Qi logo.

As one of the pioneers of the Qi global standard, ZENS is not only the first company that supports universal wireless charging in Europe, Zens is also the first international brand that launched Qi certified products in China.

At the ZENS Qi product launch in Beijing, Camille Tang, Chair of Wireless Power Consortium's Promotion Work Group and President, ConvenientPower Group said, "China and ZENS both take a significant step towards the 'intelligent' wireless lifestyle in China with this Qi launch.

First came wireless communications with the mobile phone. Then came wireless data with WiFi. Qi wireless power charging completes this wireless circle for battery'ing up, anywhere, everywhere in the Qi ecosystem.

Qi wireless charging is in 60 locations in Japan with NTT Docomo recently announcing plans to expand this to 126 locations by end of December 2011. Qi wireless charging is expected to be in most mobile phones in Japan within three years. In Europe and America, Qi wireless charging products are already available in the market. In 3 years, the next generation will look back in wonder at this quaint ritual of ours where we connect up wires and carry around all different chargers for different devices and ask, "Did you really do that?"

The first international manufacturer of Qi-certified wireless charging products in China, ZENS has built a professional sales team and channel partners, targeting consumers through the B2C online shopping mall 360buy.com and hundreds of Apple authorized retailers. Product experience centers have been established at well-known coffee shops in Beijing and other locations.

ZENS -- Dedicated to the China Market

Data released by International Telecommunication Union shows a total of 895 million mobile phones in China, the world's largest mobile phone market and a huge potential market for wireless charging technology.

Johan Plasmans said, "China, one of the world's largest mobile terminal markets, is a huge market opportunity for us. ZENS actually planned to enter China sometime ago so our team and channels is scaling rapidly here. ZENS' entry as the first in Qi Apple iPhone products in China enables Chinese consumers to experience the magical simplicity and convenience of the most advanced Qi wireless charging technology."

ZENS introduced 1-device Qi wireless chargers, which charge one mobile phone, and 2-device Qi wireless chargers which charge two mobile phones at the same time. It also launched an ultra-thin Qi Apple iPhone4 sleeve offering users a cool design for a protective sleeve with simple, convenient "drop-and-charge" wireless power charging.

About Qi and the Wireless Power Consortium

Established 17 December 2008, the Wireless Power Consortium's mission is to establish Qi as the global standard for powering rechargeable electronic products. The 106 members of WPC include industry leaders in mobile phones, consumer electronics, batteries, semiconductors, components, wireless power technology and infrastructure such as wireless operators, furniture and automotive parts companies. Qi products are available in the United States, Asia, and Europe.

Qi is pronounced "chee" and means "vital energy".

About ZENS

ZENS is a young and innovative enterprise located in Eindhoven which is the technology center of Europe where a number of revolutionary products and technologies have been developed such as CD and Blu-ray. Products that ZENS develops, produces and sells not only are functionally complete, but also create a more convenient life for consumers. As the first European company to sell wireless charging products certified by Qi, ZENS has seen the prospects of inductive charging and become a great supporter of this standard. Innovation and design are the cores of all ZENS products. http://www.makezens.com, http://www.makezens.com.cn

VASCO SEAL Announces New e-Learning Course for Latest IDENTIKEY Server 3.3

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. and ZURICH, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (Nasdaq: VDSI) (http://www.vasco.com), a leading software security company specializing in authentication products, presents its IDENTIKEY 3.3 Essentials training via e-learning on the SEAL platform. This method is now available for VASCO's Certified Engineers (VCEs), altogether for more than 1,000 people.

SEAL is VASCO's worldwide community of security professionals. The SEAL training offering consists of general IT security topics and VASCO product trainings. Through classroom training and the latest e-learning, VASCO SEAL allows a Certified Engineer to stay up-to-date on the latest security trends, develop new skills in IT security and get access to a community with an extensive IT security knowledge base.

VASCO's products are used worldwide. Customers have to rely on the company for updates and support. However, VASCO recognizes the importance of local embedding. Therefore, local engineers are schooled to acquire a VASCO Certified Engineer certificate, in order to implement VASCO's solutions and provide adequate and thorough support on a local scale. Yet, VCEs live in all the four corners of the globe. On that account, VASCO decided to provide the IDENTIKEY Server 3.3 Essentials course also via e-learning, thereby avoiding large expenses and long travel hours.

IDENTIKEY 3.3 is the latest update of VASCO's authentication server for strong user authentication and e-signature validation. Moreover, this version is compliant with the PCI DSS regulations. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a worldwide standard charged by large credit card companies. To acquaint VASCO's VCEs with this new software, classroom trainings are replaced by a money and time saving e-learning module.

The advantages of e-learning are manifold. First of all, its flexibility is appreciated. Learners from all over the world can attend the course whenever and wherever they want, 24/7. An even more important benefit is the module-based structure. A learner can deal with the information at his or her own pace. The system allows the learner to skip or repeat subject matters. Particularly the latter is interesting with an eye to the examination at the end of the course, to prove that one is fully qualified to acquire VASCO's certification. This e-learning module is now available and already in use for every engineer that has already obtained a valid certification earlier.

"Since we are an international company, it was an obvious decision to provide IDENTIKEY 3.3 Essentials in an e-learning module. It is efficient and time-saving, not only for VASCO, but also for the Certified Engineers we are proud to have all over the world," says Jan Valcke, President and COO at VASCO Data Security. "We believe that this e-learning module is a rich, personalized and repeatable experience process."

About VASCO:
VASCO is a leading supplier of strong authentication and e-signature solutions and services specializing in Internet security applications and transactions. VASCO has positioned itself as a global software company for Internet security serving a customer base of approximately 10,000 companies in more than 100 countries, including approximately 1,700 international financial institutions. VASCO's prime markets are the financial sector, enterprise security, e-commerce and e-government.

Forward Looking Statements:
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions and include, among other things, our expectations regarding the DigiNotar bankruptcy process, the impairment of our investment in DigiNotar, the timeframe in which the impairment costs will be incurred, our ability to recover amounts held in escrow, our ability to offset amounts that may be owed to DigiNotar by other VASCO affiliates against amounts owed to VASCO affiliates by DigiNotar, and our ability to effectively integrate certain intellectual property assets previously used by DigiNotar into our operations, as well as the prospects of, and developments and business strategies for, VASCO and our operations, including the development and marketing of certain new products and the anticipated future growth in certain markets in which we currently market and sell our products or anticipate selling and marketing our products in the future. These forward-looking statements (1) are identified by use of terms and phrases such as "expect", "believe", "will", "anticipate", "emerging", "intend", "plan", "could", "may", "estimate", "should", "objective", "goal", "possible", "potential" and similar words and expressions, but such words and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying them, and (2) are subject to risks and uncertainties and represent our present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Although VASCO believes that our expectations are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct. VASCO cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated above include, among others, unanticipated costs associated with DigiNotar's bankruptcy or potential claims that may arise in connection with the hacking incidents at DigiNotar. Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors have been described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and include, but are not limited to, (a) risks of general market conditions, including currency fluctuations and the uncertainties resulting from turmoil in world economic and financial markets, (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasingly sophisticated hacking attempts, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, and changing government regulations, and (c) risks specific to VASCO, including, demand for our products and services, competition from more established firms and others, pressures on price levels and our historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers. Thus, the results that we actually achieve may differ materially from any anticipated results included in, or implied by these statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we do not have any obligations or intention to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances in the future or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

EU Agency ENISA Looks at a European Cyber Security Month

BRUSSELS and HERAKLION, Greece, December 15, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Report examines 'jump-start' for 'European Security Month'

    The European Network and Information Security Agency ENISA today published a new,
detailed feasibility study
[http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/ar/deliverables/2011/europeansecuritymonth ] of a European
security month. A recommendation of the study is that a strong commitment by the EU Member
States would be useful to roll-out a successful European cyber security month.

    In the report
[http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/ar/deliverables/2011/europeansecuritymonth ], ENISA looks
at the benefits of a "European Security Month". The study takes a close look at 127 cyber
security events organised at national level across Europe and how to engage EU Member
States. The aim is to increase awareness among EU citizens of risks to personal, corporate
and national security and to demonstrate practical steps to protect sensitive information.

    Around 50% of the EU member states already run their own, national security days or,
usually, weeks. But a pan-European campaign would coordinate the approach and the
messages, as well as broaden their scope, by including public and private security
industry actors. The security month would draw on the worldwide experiences to create a
strong brand, and to deliver clear, powerful messages through a wide range of channels,
including websites, advertising, media coverage, videos, TV and radio broadcasts. The
report does not however suggest a fixed month across Europe, as the campaigns currently
held by Member States span various months identified to mainly occur in Q3/Q4. The report
does however suggest that synchronising the month with the US cyber security month (in
October) could to "jump start" the process. The report includes a roadmap and strategy to
bring together national groups and decision makers.

    "With threats at home and work through fixed and mobile computing devices, higher
awareness levels can really reduce the number of cyber security breaches," said Professor
Udo Helmbrecht, Executive Director of ENISA
[http://www.enisa.europa.eu/about-enisa/structure-organization/executive-director ]. "While
this report recognises the challenges to deliver an EU-wide campaign, notably to make the
Month fun and exciting, a successful 'European Security Month' will reduce the number of
incidents, increase consumer's confidence and help protect children and adults using
Internet."

    Background: The EU's Digital Agenda for Europe
[http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/fiche-dae.cfm?action_id0&pillar_idE&action¬tion%2032%3A%20Strengthen%20the%20fight%20against%20cybercrime%20at%20international%20level ]
stipulates that the EU should undertake a European security month in 2012.
This would increase knowledge of Network and Information Security (NIS) issues, modify
perceptions of threats, and provide updated security information through education, good
practices and competitions.

Blackboard Sees Strong Momentum with Enhanced Mass Notification Service

Over 200 Clients Covering More Than 1 Million Recipients choose Blackboard Connect 5 for Critical Communications

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackboard announced today that Blackboard Connect(TM) 5, the latest release of its leading mass notification service, has reached an important milestone: after just 90 days in the marketplace, the service now serves clients representing more than 1 million community members across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The next generation system has experienced rapid adoption by more than 200 school districts, higher education institutions and local governments around the world for its superior user interface and customizable outreach tools.

New and previous Blackboard Connect users alike have found that the latest version of the product, which was recently identified as the most widely used notification service in higher education by the 2011 Campus Computing survey, helps them create and send messages faster and ensure that they are more targeted and relevant to specific audiences.

"I have experience with a number of SaaS platforms and have been a Blackboard client for three years, and this was the smoothest transition I've ever encountered," said Jim Hendry, chief information officer at Lester B. Pearson School Board, one of the largest school districts in Quebec, Canada. "We made the change over the weekend, and by Monday we were back at work sending 41 messages to thousands of parents without a hitch. We're excited to leverage new features that will enhance parental involvement in our schools, including the customized messages, smartphone app and message templates."

Lester B. Pearson School Board is among the many Blackboard Connect clients that helped to shape the new platform with key insights and real-world usage scenarios. Client participation in the product development process influenced key features, such as a naturally intuitive, one-page message workflow and the ability to create and send messages from any phone, desktop or laptop computer, iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch®.

"Our latest release was built to be both easy-to-use and powerful, and we are excited to see its continued adoption across multiple markets," said Ed Miller, president of Blackboard Connect. "Our goal is to work with our clients to deliver the most innovative technology that helps them engage communities on their own terms. That means parents are more involved, students are more engaged, and communities are more connected."

Through Blackboard Connect, users can record, send and track personalized voice notifications to home phones, businesses, local agencies and mobile devices in minutes. The system also sends email, text messages (SMS), posts to Facebook and Twitter and messages to TTY/TDD devices for people who are hearing impaired. In addition, built-in features, such as message scenario templates, automated language translation and real-time delivery reports ensure users receive urgent messages during time-sensitive events and critical situations.

Blackboard Connect has been a trusted leader in mass notification service for more than 10 years. Based on client surveys, the platform has maintained a 95 percent or higher overall client satisfaction rate over the past three years. Most recently, Blackboard Connect was voted one of the "Top 100 in Tech" award-winners by District Administration magazine's K-12 readership. 

Clients that have already made the move to Blackboard Connect 5 include K-12 districts, such as Asheville City Public Schools (N.C.), Baltimore County Public Schools (Md.), Federal Way Public Schools (Wash.), Prince William County Public Schools (Va.) and Lester B. Pearson School Board (Quebec); colleges and universities, such as Alabama A&M University, Baker College System (Mich.), Benedictine University (Ill.); as well as Harford County (Md.) and other local governments.

DOVER, Del., Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting tomorrow, Verizon Wireless customers in Dover can take advantage of Verizon Wireless' 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, the fastest 4G network in the nation.  Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network allows customers to share music and photos, surf the Web, and download files up to 10 times faster than before. 

"Our network is the largest 4G LTE network in the nation, now covering more than 200 million people in 190 markets across the United States," said Mario Turco, president of Verizon Wireless' Philadelphia Tri-State Region.  "We are proud to bring our 4G LTE network to Dover so that residents, small businesses and local government can take advantage of the speed and connectivity offered by the next-generation network, which is continuing to push the boundaries of wireless communications."

4G LTE Devices and Plans
Verizon Wireless customers can purchase a variety of 4G LTE-enabled devices, including notebooks and netbooks; hotspots and modems; and smartphones and tablets, such as the two new DROID XYBOARD tablets by Motorola, to connect to the largest 4G LTE network in the nation.  Details on each device can be found at http://www.verizonwireless.com/4GLTE and information on plans and pricing is available at http://www.verizonwireless.com/plans.

4G LTE Coverage and Speed

Zazzle Launches Realview Technology, Allowing Users to Instantly and Accurately View How Art Will Appear in Their Home or Office

New Augmented-Reality Technology Allows Online Shoppers to Interact with and Select Posters, Framed Prints and Canvases with True-To-Life Accuracy before Buying

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Online art buyers have long lacked a way to accurately visualize art on their walls, forcing shoppers to purchase without the certainty of seeing how the piece will look in their own living space. To solve this problem, Zazzle, the leading online product customization and visualization platform, launched Realview, an easy-to-use tool that enables anyone to instantly and accurately visualize posters, framed prints and wrapped canvases on their own walls.

Using Zazzle Realview, shoppers can now see art from their own collection and from the Zazzle marketplace accurately visualized on their walls as posters, framed prints and wrapped canvases.  Further, as shoppers choose between different options such as poster size and frame type, the changes are instantly reflected in the Realview visualizations.  This patent-pending technology gives consumers the ability to confidently pick the best content, product and product options for their home or office.

How it Works: Print, Stick, Snap, Interact

To use Realview, users simply print the Zazzle Wall Marker, tape it to their wall, snap a photo of the room and then upload to Zazzle.  The photo is processed in less than a second and, once it is, any of the millions of posters, framed prints and wrapped canvases on Zazzle can be viewed on their wall.  As users choose between different product options such as poster size, the views are updated instantly.

"The Realview product-visualization technology is remarkably advanced - our engineering team has set a new standard for visualization in the e-commerce industry. Never before have users been able to choose, edit and view millions of art options in real-time on any wall," said Bobby Beaver, Zazzle co-founder and CTO.

Zazzle's Realview is the result of several patent-pending innovations in the field of Computational Photography.  It combines technologies from Computer Graphics, Object Recognition, Image Processing and Digital Photography to rapidly produce digital assets that accurately depict photographs with interactive properties.

StyleTag Users Stay Current With the Hottest Fashion Buzz

Fashion Trend Spotting Android and iOS App Lets Anyone Share and Stay Up-to-Date on the Latest Styles and Brands

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SK Planet, a wholly owned subsidiary of Korea-based SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM, KSE: 017670), today announced StyleTag, a mobile fashion app designed for fashionistas and trendsetting smartphone users. StyleTag lets users indulge in a new fashion experience with real-time on-the-spot photos making it easy for shoppers and trend spotters to find new styles or take a photo of a look they like and share it with other StyleTaggers.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111214/SF22868)

Fashion is an immense, diverse and fast-paced industry so finding styles you like can be overwhelming as many fashion trends evolve and change in the blink of an eye. StyleTag users can conveniently stay updated on the latest trends and hottest items through custom fashion feeds based on their favorite brands, designers and styles, as well as other StyleTag users with similar tastes. By tagging looks and subscribing to favorite feeds, users can easily view photos of styles and trends they are interested in.

Studies show that online fashion is addictive and even with rising smartphone ownership, particularly among young consumers, many fashion retailers have been slow in optimizing websites for mobile platforms and many have still not launched apps. StyleTag acts as consumers' personal assistants for fashion by making users' favorite brands, trends and styles easily accessible and all in one place, right in the palm of their hand.

StyleTag makes it simple to select an image of a look you like, touch the profile button on the image screen and select "Follow" to receive any posts regarding that item, trend or StyleTag member. Users can also "Like" these images to create a personalized list of styles and trends that have caught their eye. StyleTag users can even post images to showcase their own fabulous looks and get fashion advice. Contributed photos and tagged looks can easily be shared on StyleTag as well as on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr - allowing fashionistas to connect and comment about specific styles.

Zero Point Zero Whets Your Appetite With Pat LaFrieda's Big App for Meat iPad App

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Zero Point Zero Production, creators and producers of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, announced 'Pat LaFrieda's Big App for Meat,' the definitive butcher's guide for consumers and food professionals, is now available on the App Store.

This is the first app Zero Point Zero has launched. "We wanted to make a strong statement with our initial app project," said Chris Collins, Executive Producer and Principal of ZPZ. "As a company, we've always pushed ourselves in television production, and our wiry future deserves nothing less. You either commit to doing something great, or don't bother."

Pat LaFrieda is a fourth-generation butcher whose family has run a wholesale meat business in NYC for almost 100 years. He provides the best meat to over 1000 restaurants and chefs including Mario Batali, Danny Meyer, Alex Guarnaschelli and others. Pat revolutionized the burger industry by creating custom burger blends including Shake Shack's burger, The Black Label burger, and host of The Chew Michael Symon's burgers.

Designed exclusively for the iPad, the app contains detailed descriptions and re-res photography of every cut of meat - over 200 cuts total of beef, lamb, pork, veal and poultry. Users can watch 50 minutes of premium video, where Pat demonstrates techniques you can use at home. From sharpening your knife to what to look for in a dry-aged steak - Pat shares his butchering secrets. Users can wirelessly stream video from the app to their Apple TV and big screen via AirPlay. You can test your knowledge with the Great Meat 101 Quiz, and challenge friends via Game Center. LaFrieda Meats will sell directly to consumers nationwide through the app, via a one-click access to the online store with the best steaks, chops and burgers.

"This app is a carnivore's wet dream," said ZPZ Executive Producer Jennifer Williams. "We spent ten long days in a 35-degree meat locker filming Pat artfully butcher a bunch of delicious animals like a surgeon. If you like meat, you're gonna love this app."

ZPZ selected Domani Studios as their design and development partners. "We've created a power-packed protein promoter," said Domani Studios Founder/ECD Jonathan Hills. "It addresses two of the unique desires among foodies - gaining a deep understanding and appreciation for ingredients, and getting access to one of the luminaries of today's food culture."

Pat LaFrieda's Big App for Meat App is available for $6.99 from the App Store here: http://bit.ly/u8kLDY

Verizon Introduces 4G LTE Faster Than Any New Network Technology in the Company's History, Now Covering More Than 200 Million People

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, owner of the nation's fastest 4G network, is turning on 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) in 11 new markets and making expansions in seven markets on Dec. 15, bringing blazingly fast speeds to more than 200 million people in 190 markets across the United States.  The company offers a broad array of 4G LTE-enabled devices, including notebooks and netbooks; hotspots and modems; and smartphones and tablets, such as the two new DROID XYBOARD tablets by Motorola,to connect to the largest 4G LTE network in the nation.

On Thursday, Dec. 15, the company will turn on its 4G LTE network inDover, Del.; Lafayette, Ind.; Fitchburg/Leominster, Mass.; Duluth, The Rochester Area and St. Cloud, Minn.; Manchester/Nashua, N.H.; Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Findlay/Tiffin and Youngstown/Warren, Ohio; and Indiana, Pa.  The company is also making expansions on Dec. 15 in San Diego and San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Chicagoland, Ill.; and Baltimore and Hagerstown, Md.

"Introducing the 4G LTE network has been the fastest rollout of any next-generation network in our history.  In one year and 10 days, we have brought 4G LTE to more than 200 million people.  That's more than twice as fast as our 3G network rollout," said David Small, chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless.

4G LTE Speed and Coverage

In real-world, fully loaded network environments, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.  When customers travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast.  Verizon Wireless' 3G network is the most reliable high-speed data network in the country and allows customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G LTE devices today to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds when the faster network becomes available in their area, or when they travel to an area already covered by 4G LTE.

Zendesk Delivers the Most Efficient Way to Engage with Customers on the World's Most Popular Social Network

More than 10,000 Companies Can Now Monitor and Respond to Facebook Wall Posts From Within Their Customer Support System

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Zendesk, the proven cloud-based help desk software provider, today announced Zendesk for Facebook, enabling customer service teams to engage with their Facebook users from within Zendesk. This helps to ensure satisfaction even when customers choose to communicate with a company through social media.

"Communicating with customers via social media has created a fundamental shift in customer service," said Mikkel Svane, Zendesk's CEO. "Studies have shown that even the biggest companies have an ad hoc approach to social media, resulting in unhappy customers. By having Facebook posts flow right into a company's help desk software, support teams can engage immediately, helping to ensure greater customer satisfaction."

Social media has given the customer a very powerful voice. A public outcry through social channels over a company's misstep can be devastating to a business due to the viral nature of these media. Companies need to keep a close eye on what customers are talking about so they can react swiftly before a situation that could have been easily fixed becomes a public relations disaster.

Now support teams can quickly respond to Facebook wall posts without ever having to leave the Zendesk interface where they spend their working hours. Zendesk for Facebook delivers a quick, easy way to boost support teams' productivity, enable collaboration and improve responsiveness.

"A large group of our special needs community lives on Facebook, and we can now provide much more comprehensive support by monitoring and responding to their posts on our wall," said Sami Rahman, Co-Founder of SNAppsforKids. "Zendesk for Facebook has allowed us to serve more users more effectively than we ever could before. And best of all, we can focus on helping our members without needing to be too technical - we love it!"

Zendesk for Facebook is available now. Learn more at zendesk.com/facebook

About Zendesk
Zendesk is the leading provider of proven, cloud-based help desk software. For growing organizations, Zendesk is the fastest way to enable great customer service.
