ThanksUSA Launches 7th Annual Online Treasure Hunt to Aid Military Families

Partnership with the ESA Foundation to Generate Donations for Scholarship Fund

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ThanksUSA and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) Foundation will unveil Treasure Hunt Seven, a free online and fully interactive trivia and puzzle game about American history, culture and values, on Thanksgiving morning, both organizations announced today. The Treasure Hunt series, now in its seventh year, serves to generate attention and donations for ThanksUSA's annual scholarship fund to benefit the children and spouses of active-duty military personnel.

The ESA Foundation, the charitable arm of the ESA, will sponsor Treasure Hunt Seven as part of a new three-year partnership with ThanksUSA that also includes support for 20 scholarships each year. The ESA Foundation began sponsoring the annual Treasure Hunt series in 2008 and aims to increase the number of scholarships available to military families.

"Treasure Hunt Seven highlights how we can work together to make learning interactive and fun. We are pleased to support this creative initiative to bring American history to life for students and families," said Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of the ESA. "We look forward to working with ThanksUSA in the coming year to continue offering scholarships for children of active-duty military personnel as an expression of our gratitude to America's servicemen and women."

This year's treasure hunt focuses on the fascinating histories of some of America's international allies: Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia and Peru. Treasure Hunt Seven will officially launch on November 24, 2011, Thanksgiving morning.  Once the game ends on August 15, 2012, ThanksUSA will award prizes, including gift certificates, to the winner of each game "chapter." Contestants can access the game at http://www.ThanksUSA.org.

"Through The ESA Foundation's continued support, we plan to award 500 scholarships to the families of America's armed forces next year," said ThanksUSA Executive Director Michele Stork. ThanksUSA has awarded nearly $7.5 million in scholarships to 2,500 families across all 50 states and the District of Columbia and to all branches of the armed services.

Visteon Increases Production of Radios With Connectivity Features for Vehicles in Brazil

Global supplier helps meet consumer shift toward more sophisticated radios featuring USB, Bluetooth® wireless technology and iPod® devices

SAO PAULO, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With vehicle buyers in Brazil turning to more sophisticated on-board entertainment systems, global automotive supplier Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) is supporting vehicle manufacturers and dealers by increasing production of radios with connectivity-related features.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20001201/DEF008LOGO)

Over the five past years, Visteon has increased by 30 percent its production in Brazil of radios with connectivity-related features such as USB, Bluetooth® wireless technology, iPod® devices and voice command. This year, connectivity-equipped radios will account for approximately 40 percent of Visteon's radio production in Brazil. By 2015, Visteon expects that all radios it produces in Brazil will be equipped with technologies capable of keeping drivers connected.

"The trend toward more sophisticated radios is driven by an overall increase in Brazilians' income, and by the emergence of consumers who desire more on-board technology, driven in part by the influx of imported vehicles that offer more content at competitive prices," said Roberto Picchi, director of electronics for Visteon in South America.

Visteon began manufacturing radios equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology in 2005. Today, they represent nearly half of the approximately 500,000 radio sets that Visteon assembles each year at its plant in Manaus, Brazil. The radios are sold as original equipment and as accessories at dealerships in Brazil.

"We expect demand for connectivity to continue to rise," Picchi said. "We're prepared to meet the challenge by launching audio products that are easy and pleasing for drivers to interact with, thus mitigating driver distraction, while offering more ways to stay connected."

Visteon Corporation is a leading global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures innovative climate, electronic, interior and lighting products for vehicle manufacturers. With corporate offices in Van Buren Township, Mich. (U.S.); Shanghai, China; and Chelmsford, UK; the company has facilities in 27 countries and employs approximately 27,000 people.

Atmel Launches Complete Digital Audio Platform for Consumer Applications

Offers designers a complete, easy-to-use platform including firmware, hardware and licensing agreement for audio applications

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel® Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a leader in microcontroller and touch technology solutions, today announced a complete Digital Audio Platform for consumer, automotive and industrial applications. The Atmel Digital Audio Platform offers audio equipment and mobile accessory OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) a complete hardware and firmware solution that greatly simplifies the task of designing high-quality digital audio equipment. The new Digital Audio Platform is implemented with the Atmel AVR® UC3 microcontrollers specifically tailored for audio applications such as smartphone and media player docking stations.

The Digital Audio Platform integrates dedicated microcontrollers, evaluation kits and firmware IP. The firmware IP includes control and streaming interfaces for a selection of popular smartphones and portable media players as well as MP3, WMA and AAC decoders to allow designers to decode compressed music files; USB protocol stacks; and a complete file system to allow designers to navigate through mass storage devices such as USB Flash disks or SD cards. The platform uses a ready-to-go commercial licensing model for firmware IP that enables designers to keep their firmware code confidential, unlike many audio license agreements today that require the firmware code to be open. The Digital Audio Platform is ideal for applications including docking stations, USB mass storage, SD card playback, car stereos, USB speakers, microphones, and various voice and music equipment. Other applications include mobile accessories (accessories connected to smartphones or tablets) that use the same underlying technology.

With all the benefits of the Atmel AVR UC3 microcontrollers, the Digital Audio Platform offers designers a system that is highest in performance and lowest in power. The AVR UC3 microcontrollers also support the Atmel QTouch® Library for easy implementation of elegant, differentiating user interfaces for capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels.

"Designing digital audio applications has historically been a complex, cumbersome task of finding the required firmware IP, licensing it and finally stitching it together in a working application," said Ingar Fredriksen, sr. director of AVR products, Atmel Corporation. "The Atmel Digital Audio Platform offers an 'out-of-the-box solution' to enable designers to develop today's audio applications with minimum engineering effort spent on getting the core design working."

To help accelerate a designer's audio application development, evaluation kits (EVK) are also available with the Digital Audio Platform. Evaluation kits include a board with an Atmel AVR MCU and free downloadable source code. The Atmel AVR EVK1104AU/1105AU audio development kits are available in the Atmel Store at http://store.atmel.com and through Atmel-qualified distributors.

Former FundsXpress Executives and Industry Veterans Announce Fisoc and its BuzzBanking Services for Credit Unions, Community and Independent Banks

BuzzBanking makes holiday shopping brighter by enabling consumers to earn reward points and gain even more points when they tell their friends

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in June, 2010 by a team of banking and social media experts, including founders of FundsXpress, fisoc has developed a web centric platform called BuzzBanking that enables credit unions, community and independent banks to offer rewards that benefit both their customers and merchants enrolled in the program and just in time for holiday shopping. Fisoc has a number of financial institutions across the state of Texas ranging from Texarkana to Lubbock that are already using the company's rewards platform and is timely for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Fisoc is continuing to roll out the program on a statewide basis.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111124/LA11919)

The company was founded by banking industry experts and former founders of FundsXpress and is financially backed by the investment firm Daylight Partners. The fisoc executive team has extensive experience in developing banking solutions used by over a thousand financial institutions and social media programs employed by global companies. The firm's solutions integrate directly into the financial institution's core services. This integration allows banks to increase financial service uptake, grow transactions, increase account balances, and provide additional loans - all while delivering benefits and rewards to customers and area merchants.

"We are leveraging our team of experts in both Internet banking and social media to provide the industry's most highly integrated and secure platform for rewards points being offered to credit unions, community and independent banks; programs that were generally available only from big banks," said Jay Valanju, CEO of fisoc. "Consumer spending is at its peak during the holiday shopping season and these banks now have an option to offer rewards points to their customers for their spending and extra points and for sharing BuzzBanking with their friends."

According to recent articles in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, thousands of customers, complaining of rising fees, flooded into credit unions and small banks on Bank Transfer Day. These developments have exponentially increased the number of potential consumers and demand for fisoc's products and services from financial institutions.

"Rather than charging our customers to use their debit card, fisoc's BuzzBanking enables us to provide rewards programs that benefit not only our customers, but also merchants and retailers in our community," said Matt Seidenberger, Vice President of Arrowhead Bank of Texas. "We are also confident that fisoc's BuzzBanking Platform meets all of the rigorous security requirements that federal auditors require us to employ and monitor. Fisoc has been extremely helpful in providing this information as requested."

The lead investor for fisoc is Daylight Partners and includes Bill Amelio, former CEO of Lenovo.

Current investors are expected to participate in upcoming funding rounds.

"Developing and delivering a web-centric banking platform that meets all of the technical, financial, security and regulatory requirements is a tremendous undertaking, but we had confidence in the fisoc executive team due to their experience in both the banking and social media market segments," noted Scott Helbig of Daylight Partners. "By offering this rewards program, community banks and credit unions can gain new customers and increase the loyalty of existing customers, while merchants enrolled in the program can attract new business. Perhaps most importantly, the customer, both the bank's and the merchant's, receives benefits that weren't available prior to the introduction of the program and the customer experience is greatly enhanced."

Shoe Privee Dumps Monthly Fees for Private Online Shoe Club

<font size="2" face="Arial">
</font>

<font size="2" face="Arial">SANTA MONICA, Calif.</font>, Nov. 23, 2011 PRNewswire/ -- Rapidly growing women's shoe club Shoe Privee today announced the end to any monthly commitment charges.  Existing customer credits can still be used to purchase anything from the Shoe Privee collection, but going forward customers will never be charged a monthly fee.

Our customers want fun shoes at great prices," says Fred Krueger, CEO of Shoe Privee.  "They're very clear about it.  What they don't want is getting their card charged just because they forgot to log in to a web site.  We decided to listen: no more monthly charges."

Gorgeous designer shoes at amazing prices sell themselves, there's no need to "trap" customers. That's the groundbreaking new mantra over at Shoe Privee and the impetus behind the company's decision to get rid of unpopular monthly fees. According to the Shoe Privee CEO, standard operating procedure for online shoe clubs needs to change, and his company is leading the way.

"Sometimes it takes an outsider to initiate real change," explains Krueger, alluding to his company's recent, meteoric entry into the online footwear marketplace. "We talk to our customers, and they all tell us the same thing: they love our shoes, and they hate the monthly fees. So we decided to let our shoes sell themselves."

Funded by tens of millions of dollars to pay for celebrity endorsements, the traditional "recurring billing" model of online shoe clubs is to require customers to "skip a month" in a five day window or face automatic charges to their credit cards. However, this membership model isn't something customers want.

"A business model that leaves customers feeling confused and lied to, just doesn't jive with our company mission," Krueger finished. "We tried doing business 'like the other guys,' but at the end of the day, it just didn't feel right. We're better than that, and our customers deserve better."

Shoe Privee is still a members-only club and offering low prices - up to 50% off retail or more.  But the company is getting rid of the monthly membership fee.  "People don't like being tricked," says Krueger simply. "It doesn't matter whether it's called a membership fee or a shoe credit."

Shoe Privee's commitment-free membership policy is effective immediately. The company is kicking it off with a fresh marketing campaign that shares their vision:

"No tricks, no gimmicks.  Just gorgeous shoes at amazing prices."

Shoe Privee has an active membership exceeding 300,000 visitors per month. Get the details or become a member for free at http://shoeprivee.com.

Dizzy® Returns in an Excellent Arcade Eggventure for iOS® & Android(TM)

Prepare for "Egg-mergence Day" on 9th December as Codemasters Resurrects the Iconic 8-bit Game Hero; Video premiering at http://www.DizzyGame.com

LEAMINGTON SPA, United Kingdom, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --DNA Interactive, a wholly owned subsidiary of DNA Dynamics, Inc.(Pink Sheets: DNAD), today announced that Dizzy(®) is back!  One of the most fondly remembered games characters from the 8-bit era is set for a HD makeover.   Codemasters(®) excitedly announced today that Dizzy, the eponymous egg-shaped have-a-go hero is returning to game screens in Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk, a special edition of the 1991 adventure for iPad(®), iPhone(®) and Android((TM)) devices.  The game is due to launch on "Egg-mergence Day" - Friday, December 9, 2011 - and can be seen in the reveal video now showing at http://www.DizzyGame.com.

After many years of Dizzy fans' requests (including an online petition with thousands of signatures), the cartoon adventurer will be starring in a remake of one of his most popular arcade experiences, first published 20 years ago.  In this iOS/Android adaptation, our hero in a whole shell is back in familiar form, complete with red boxing gloves and his trademark somersaults as he ventures forth in an adventure packed with collect-and-solve puzzles in a magical cartoon world.

As ever, his friends, the Yolkfolk, are in trouble and need saving from danger.  On this occasion, girlfriend Daisy has been trapped in a mysterious castle while our hero has been locked in an underground dungeon by Rockwart the troll on orders from Evil Wizard Zaks.

To save the day, Dizzy must run and tumble around the kingdom of Keldor.  On his journey throughout this magical land, Dizzy will explore underground caves, leap and bound into tree tops,  cross the River Styx (which strangely seems to run through Keldor), and bounce all the way up to the far away clouds to assist Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.

On his adventure, Dizzy encounters all kinds of characters, from the Grim Reaper to the Troll-terrorising Fluffles, some needing his help, some offering advice and some simply wanting to bite his hands off.  By collecting objects and solving puzzles, the assorted cast will help Dizzy in return as he continues on his quest to rescue his beloved Daisy from the castle.

Dizzy's gaming heritage goes back to 1987 when he was first created by Philip and Andrew Oliver, known as The Oliver Twins (http://www.olivertwins.com), for the original game Dizzy.  Now heading Blitz Games Studios, the Olivers have welcomed Dizzy's return.

"It always astounds us what a loyal fan base Dizzy still has," says Philip Oliver. "Even after all these years, people remember Dizzy fondly, and it's great to see him return for his older fans and introduce him to a new generation of gamers."

Adds Andrew Oliver, "Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk was one of the most popular Dizzy titles, and it's exciting to see him making his debut on iOS and Android in time for the holidays."

The iOS and Android editions of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk are being developed by DNA Interactive, a wholly owned subsidiary of DNA Dynamics, with Paul Ranson, the game's original project director, heading development.

"20 years on and Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk remains one of the most memorable games in the series for its puzzles and humor, and it's an absolute pleasure to return to the director's role for this HD edition," says Ranson, Chief Gaming Officer at DNA Dynamics.

"For once, this is a retro classic that doesn't require rose-tinted glasses to appreciate its design and gameplay.   Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk is simply a great puzzle-solving romp that has been brought up-to-date with glorious visuals," added Ranson.

Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk will be published by Codemasters on "Egg-mergence Day" - Friday, December 9, 2011 - and available from the App Store(SM) for iPad and iPhone and from Android Market for Android phones and tablets.  For the latest on the game, visit http://www.DizzyGame.com.  The game will not, unfortunately, be available on Eggsbox.

NOTES

The original Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk story (reproduced off the back of a dusty old cassette inlay):

Grand Dizzy was feeling very down one day, so Dizzy and Daisy decided to cheer him up by baking him his favourite food, cherry pie. So off went Daisy to get some cherries from her cupboard but there were none to be seen.

"Pogie's pinched the cherries!" she cried, as she saw Pogie's pawprint in the cupboard, "That darned fluffle. Come here you!" and Pogie promptly darted off into the enchanted forest to escape Daisy's rage.

Dizzy and Daisy headed into the forest to catch Pogie (and replenish their supply of cherries at the same time). However, while searching for Pogie they got lost and found a castle, where they thought they would find help, but it seemed deserted. They looked in the castle for Pogie, but Daisy caught herself on a mystic spinning wheel. She started feeling really sleepy, so she found a bed and went to sleep. "Wake up Daisy, wake up!" shouted Dizzy. But before he could wake her up, Rockwart the troll caught him and locked him up underground...

Gateway to Africa

LONDON, November 23, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
         NTT Europe builds on Dimension Data acquisition to capitalise
                          on African opportunities

    NTT Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation
(NTT Com), announced today that NTT Com's Europe-Asia network is now
connected to the Europe-Africa network of Internet Solutions, a subsidiary
of Dimension Data, via a Network to Network Interface (NNI).

    The NNI between NTT Com and Internet Solutions connects 31 cities across
12 countries in Africa including South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Ghana,
Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda and is
one of the major steps in the partnership from NTT's acquisition of
Dimension Data.

    Masaaki Moribayashi, managing director, NTT Europe, said: 'To provide
our customers with a global network and open up access to Africa, we needed
to either 'partner' or 'build'. Building would be a slow process and would
not provide extensive in-country connectivity. Partnering with Internet
Solutions meant the NNI was enabled in weeks, not months or years, and NNI
provides a direct connection to key African regions for new and existing
clients. We have mapped and tested our suite of MPLS products against the
capabilities of Internet Solution's network and will deliver identical high
level of service across the IS backbone.'

    Glenn Maule, general manager EU, Internet Solutions said, 'Working with
NTT Com to expand Internet Solution's coverage within Europe and
particularly Asia is very exciting and beneficial to our client base. In
South Africa, 85% of the Top 250 listed companies use IS backbone for
internet connectivity and IP-VPN. The demand to reach financial centres in
other regions is increasing rapidly and we believe IS is now best placed as
preferred partner to offer that service.'

    In order to ensure clients based in Africa can access Asia quickly, the
two organisations are currently investigating an additional NNI in the APAC
area.

    About NTT Europe

    NTT Europe is a wholly-owned subsidiary company of NTT Communications
which is the global data and IP services arm of the Fortune Global 500

Emailvision Launches First SaaS Campaign Management Solution With Fully Integrated Customer Intelligence

LONDON, November 23, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

            New product gives marketers unprecedented opportunity to
deliver more relevant and successful online relationship marketing campaigns

    Emailvision, the leading international software as a service (SaaS)
company specialising in email, mobile and social marketing, announced today
the launch of a new product that represents the first ever SaaS campaign
management solution with fully integrated customer intelligence. Campaign
Commander Enterprise Edition features several industry-firsts by providing
SaaS customer intelligence that's integrated with email, mobile and social
campaign management. This new product capitalises on Emailvision's June 2011
acquisition of smartFOCUS, a recognised leader in advanced database
marketing technology.

    According to MarketingSherpa's 2011 Email Marketing Benchmark Report
[http://www.sherpastore.com/2011EmailMarketingBMR1.html ], the most
significant challenge to email marketing effectiveness is targeting
customers with highly relevant content. Campaign Commander Enterprise
Edition addresses this challenge with a product designed specifically for
the needs of online marketers. In order to target customers with relevant
content, online marketing teams need to build fully segmented campaigns
based on customer behaviour. The Enterprise Edition of Campaign Commander
provides an integrated solution that enables marketers to take control of
their client data, rapidly discover 'smart segments' in customer
intelligence and immediately make those segments available for new
campaigns.

    Nick Heys, CEO of Emailvision, said: "The days of 'one size fits all'
marketing are quickly coming to a close. The future of online marketing will
be smarter marketing that delivers higher response rates and more profitable
marketing campaigns."

    In Forrester Research Inc.'s August 2011 report: "US Interactive
Marketing Forecast 2011 To 2016", Vice President and Principal Analyst Shar
VanBoskirk writes, "We've long said that spending more to send the right
message will enrich lifetime value. Well, at last email marketers are
investing in analytics as part of a larger focus on customer relationship
management (CRM) and customer intelligence."

    Xavier Chauvin, the CEO of Beaute Privee, said: "As a private sales
company specialising in cosmetics and well-being, our goal is to
continuously target recipients with the most relevant content and offers. In
the very first product demonstration we could rapidly see opportunities for
new customer segments and campaigns. We look forward to working with the new
Campaign Commander Enterprise Edition to send more targeted marketing
programs to our customers."

    Campaign Commander Enterprise Edition features four integrated
components that work together to rapidly explore and visualise client data,
execute multi-channel online campaigns and monitor key performance
indicators through a customisable marketing dashboard.

    Amanda McCreary, eCommerce Manager at Magic Beans, a retail company
dedicated to select children's products, said: "The customer intelligence in
Campaign Commander Enterprise Edition gives us the tools to understand where
we are today and how customers are purchasing and interacting with us. The
simple drag and drop interface allows non-database marketing people like
myself the ability to dig deep into customer segments and understand the
data behind the customer."

    Product Notes: Campaign Commander Enterprise Edition features four
integrated components

    Customer Intelligence

    Customer Intelligence enables marketers to rapidly explore and visualise
their client data. Millions of records can be analysed in seconds with drag
and drop features that make data analysis easy-to-use and highly accessible
for online marketing teams.

    Email and Mobile Marketing

    The intuitive features in Email and Mobile Marketing move marketers from
the basics of campaign execution to more advanced tactics in online
relationship marketing. Now fully integrated with Customer Intelligence,
campaigns can be executed with targeted 'smart segments' that generate
higher response rates with every campaign.

    Social Media Marketing

    Social Media Marketing allows marketers to execute synchronized
marketing campaigns across all of the major social media channels. Marketers
can accelerate their social activities, manage highly dynamic communities
and measure the business impact from social campaigns.

    Campaign Commander Dashboard

    Designed specifically for users of Campaign Commander, this innovative
marketing dashboard provides a single view of key performance indicators
coming from customer data plus email, mobile and social campaigns. Fully
customised widgets display real-time views on all activities.

MRA-Built Rolling Educational Experience for American Welding Society to Promote Welding as a Career

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- From the buildings we live and work in and the machinery that powers our economy, to the vehicles that transport us and the infrastructure on which we travel, few aspects of our daily lives are left untouched by skilled welders.  But the American Society of Welding (AWS) says the number of welders in the United States will fall nearly 240,000 short of the need by 2019.

(Photo: <font size="2" face="Arial">http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/DE11682</font> )

To address this looming shortage, AWS has launched the "Careers in Welding Trailer," which will travel the country inspiring and educating young people about careers in welding.

The 53-foot, single-expandable trailer, which features 650 square feet of exhibit space, was designed and built by Madison Heights, Mich.,-based MRA experiential tours and equipment, a pioneer in mobile experiential tour solutions for more than 20 years.

It launched last week at the FABTECH trade show in Chicago and will be on the road for 18-24 weeks in 2012, targeting events with youth between the ages of 13 and 19 and adults searching for a second career.

The trailer's five Lincoln Electric VRTEX® 360 simulator stations are the highlight of the exhibit. The VRTEX 360 feeds computer-generated data with a virtual welding gun and helmet equipped with internal monitors. The participant practices welding in virtual environments, including simulated welding-booth training environments or field-welding applications. The simulator also has a scoring component that awards each "welder" with a value for his or her weld.

Lincoln Electric is the primary sponsor of the "Careers in Welding" trailer.

"Welding is central to the business of building MRA's mobile experiential tours, so the American Welding Society and this educational outreach effort is near and dear to us," said Harry Kurtz, MRA's president and CEO.  "We're pleased to help promote these vital career opportunities - which can be very lucrative - to help build a better future for America."

"This project is really instrumental to help recruit students into the field of welding, because this is going to be an exciting, hands-on exhibit that will be traveling the country," said Monica Pfarr, corporate director of workforce development at AWS.  "It will give students the opportunity to learn about careers and opportunities."

MRA brought in Alex Pazkowski and Brandon Woodman, two welding student interns from Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Mich., to work on the trailer and other projects.  In recognition of their efforts, Kurtz presented $500 scholarships to each of them at FABTECH.

"Alex and Brandon cleared their summer schedules and they traveled over an hour each way to get to us," said Tony Amato, MRA's executive vice president.  "They got really hands-on, and it wasn't just about building parts anymore or doing something repetitious.  They knew it was going to become something bigger, and they hadn't been to that point yet in their welding career."

MRA's state-of-the-art facility houses not only Corporate Sales, Marketing, Logistics and Account Services Departments, but also Trailer Manufacturing, Engineering and Fabrication Services.  It's truly a "one-stop shop," a business philosophy that translates into a higher level of service for MRA's clients.

UBM Medica's Consultant Live Offers Special Skin Disorder Coverage

NORWALK, Conn., Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica's announces that Consultant Live features special coverage focused on diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders in newborns, young children, adolescents, and adults of all ages.

(Logo: <font size="2" face="Arial">http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/SF11611LOGO</font>)

Skin disorders and disease are very common worldwide. Roughly 2 in 5 patients who visit a primary care physician have some kind of skin problem according to Ted Rosen, MD, Professor of Dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine and Chief of the Dermatology Service at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas. The problem may be the main reason the patient sees the doctor, or it may be something the patient mentions on his or her way out the door.

Primary care doctors receive very little dermatological training while they are in medical school. And because access to dermatologists has become relatively limited, many primary care physicians are the first to see patients who have rashes or lesions that may turn out to be symptoms of serious underlying disease. An incorrect or delayed diagnosis can contribute to a poor outcome.

To help busy primary care doctors hone their dermatologic skills, Dr. Rosen contributes a wealth of clinical cases with photos to Consultant Live through his "5 Shots/5 Tips" series.

These dermatological cases, available on Consultant Live's Dermclinic, offer helpful information to concerned physicians and patients. Some of the most recent cases and tips include:

    --  Geographic tongue
    --  Allergic contact dermatitis from a pair of sneakers
    --  "Athlete's foot" and tips on how to treat it
    --  Hyperpigmentation in a patient with acne
    --  Lichen planus - an itchy rash that erupts on the shins of people with
        dark skin

Holiday stress? Difficulty finding a store or parking spot? The all-new Ford Escape and award-winning stress expert Susie Mantell are hoping to make this holiday season more enjoyable with some simple tips that can help you "Escape" the stress of the holidays and make navigating this busy season much easier.

The Ford Escape, which debuted last week, has technologies and features that - when paired with these simple tips - can ease holiday stress. From active park assist to turn-by-turn directions and a hands-free power liftgate, the Escape is certain to make holiday shopping easier.

Ford recently introduced its all-new Escape featuring a segment-first hands-free power liftgate that opens with a simple kicking gesture under the rear bumper and without the need to fumble for a key. Escape is the first SUV to use gesture-based technology - similar to that found in video games - to open the rear liftgate.

From carrying bags to waiting in lines and those long trips down the rows of parking lots to load packages, Ford Escape hopes to give you a hands-free holiday.

All-new Ford Escape

Escape is Ford's newest sport utility vehicle. Nearly 2 million Escapes have been sold since the model was first introduced a decade ago, making it the best-selling small SUV in the United States.

South Moon Under Launches New Ecommerce Site on Demandware Platform

Lyons Consulting Group Builds Site in Preparation for Upcoming Holiday Shopping Season

CHICAGO, Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lyons Consulting Group (lyonscg), the premier ecommerce design, development and support firm, today announced South Moon Under has launched a new ecommerce website powered by the Demandware ecommerce Platform. With a recent shift in focus to the ecommerce side of their business, South Moon Under, a retailer of casual clothing, swimwear and gifts for men and women, selected lyonscg to build the site on the Demandware platform because of the platform's flexibility, relatively low cost of entry, and ability to launch the new site quickly.

South Moon Under's previous ecommerce site had limited manageability and little opportunity for growth. Wanting to provide customers with a new, rich and engaging online shopping experience before the holiday season, South Moon Under was built, tested, and launched in just three months. The new site eases the strain on South Moon Under's internal staff and provides improved merchandising capabilities.

"We have been eager to build our online business for a while now," said Gus Milla, Director of ecommerce at South Moon Under. "Lyons has been instrumental in making sure we were getting the best advice, technology and service for our money."

Because of a recent comprehensive reseller agreement, lyonscg is able to directly provide a one-stop commerce solution on the Demandware ecommerce platform for South Moon Under, and other online retailers. This allows lyonscg to secure Demandware licensing agreements and front-line support and to deliver turnkey enterprise-level ecommerce websites, ultimately making it even easier for online retailers, such as South Moon Under, to launch their ecommerce websites.

Along with being the singular ecommerce solution, Lyons Consulting Group was able to extend the performance and functionality of the Demandware platform by building several key features including:

    --  Development of a more streamlined navigation that allows for added
        filtering options during search, sophisticated merchandising tools,
        promotions, coupons, and specials
    --  Integration with their Order Management System which allows for real
        time tracking of inventory, pricing, shipments and fully incorporates
        the ecommerce site into the rest of their business
    --  Implementation of a systematic payment gateway allowing efficient credit
        card processing and gift card redemption
    --  Integration with Power Reviews Express improving the shopper's
        experience on the site providing more relevant information when
        researching products
    --  Development of a new mobile site which has a seamless transition from
        the online store to the mobile cartridge in both design and
        functionality

"Our clients trust us to build reliable ecommerce solutions that will provide them with scalability," said Rich Lyons, CEO and Founder of Lyons Consulting Group. "Building their site on the Demandware platform was a great choice for South Moon Under and will definitely give them the needed flexibility as their business grows."

The new site, http://www.southmoonunder.com, was launched on November 17th, 2011 and is being supported by Lyons Consulting Group.

(Photo:  <font size="2" face="Arial">http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG11467)</font>

Unlike machines that offer mock virtual trainers or a generic scenic view, Passport offers the only workout experience with real destination footage and matching ambient sounds. Connecting to home entertainment systems, Passport displays workout data on-screen while taking the user on a journey through truly stunning destinations. By means of "equipment interactivity," Passport takes the audio/visual technology one step further by communicating wirelessly to match speed and elevation between screen and treadmill. 

"The Passport media player lets you begin your workout in your living room and finish in the Italian countryside," said Andrew Kolman, senior product manager - console technology at Johnson Health Tech North America. "You escape the confines of your regular workout routine, while enjoying a truly dynamic experience."

Available only to JHTNA, this exclusive technology has been battle tested at gyms around the world on their Matrix line of equipment. Now, for the first time the technology is being introduced to the consumer market and is available on the AFG 7.1 AT treadmill and the LIVESTRONG LSPRO2 treadmill.

Each machine comes equipped with two programs - the American Southwest and Northern Italy. Individual trails include the Las Vegas Strip, Grand Canyon, Venetian cityscape, Italian countryside and more. Additional programs are available for purchase online.

The LSPRO2 and AFG 7.1 AT with Passport are available beginning in November at specialty retailers and select national retailers, and on-line. For more information on AFG and LIVESTRONG Fitness, visit http://www.advancedfitnessgroup.com and http://www.livestrongfitness.com.

Over 3,500 Facebook Likes for Maxxo with Fiverr.Com Campaign

ZAGREB, Croatia, November 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    What happens when a Croatian cloud-based storage and file transfer
startup pairs up with Israeli internet entrepreneurs to recruit the talents
of an enthusiastic Indian, an American with nice legs, a man with an
accordion and a feather in his cap, an aspiring actor making his living
impersonating an Australian nature show host, a Canadian 4-piece rock band,
a British woman dressed as a banana and a few thousand others?

    It's a story that speaks to the "flattening" of this globalized world of
ours. It's also a marketing success story for a new era.

    Maxxo, a company offering online storage, sync and transfer services,
will officially launch its Beta edition to a limited number of users on
December 1st, 2011. The company is not taking the traditional route,
however. Instead of opting for the services of a marketing and PR agency,
Maxxo has turned to the users of the $5 gig site Fiverr.com for all the
creative materials for its launch campaign.

    Maxxo's crowdsourcing gamble has been paying off. In the first week
alone, over 2,000 gigs came pouring in from energetic Fiverr sellers:
talented cartoonists and graphic artists, a host of musicians crooning their
hearts out, people with a little too much time on their hands - yes, some
submissions have been pretty weird. But as Maxxo [http://www.maxxo.com ]
founder and CEO Vedran Sisak explains, "Maxxo's business is to facilitate
collaboration and we pride ourselves on doing things differently than our
mainstream competitors. So whatever people engage with, that's what we're
going with."

    Maxxo is sweetening the deal with a $500 cash prize for the gig that
earns the most Facebook votes by December 15th. To date, over 3,500 "Likes"
have been registered on Maxxo's Facebook page thanks to the buzz generated
by the Fiverr competition. "We're pleased to be getting that kind of traffic
and participation," says Maxxo's Sisak, "particularly since we haven't even
launched yet."

    You can register for Maxxo's closed Beta here: http://www.maxxo.com

    About Maxxo

    Maxxo [http://www.maxxo.com ] is a new Croatian cloud-based file sharing
[http://www.maxxo.com ], sync and backup application that allows users to
easily sync and share [http://www.maxxo.com ] their data with their trusted
friends and peers. Sending or sharing large files [http://www.maxxo.com ] or
a large number of files? With Maxxo [http://www.maxxo.com ], it's as simple
as drag and drop - no more attachments, no more copying and pasting URL
links. The service offers 5GB free [http://www.maxxo.com ] accounts and
