Famigo Family App Review Now Supports Apple iOS; Android Version Garnering Rave Reviews
Trusted Resource Reviews, Rates and Curates the Best Kid-Friendly Mobile Apps, Games and Content
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Famigo is expanding its efforts to help families discover appropriate mobile content by launching support for Apple iOS apps today. In July, Famigo introduced Family App Review, an interactive guide that enables families to search and sort for games, e-books and other apps. Today, families can now use Family App Review to discover, select and share favorite apps for both the Apple iOS and Android mobile platforms by visiting http://www.famigo.com.
For many families, finding the best kid-friendly content among the million plus apps in the Apple App Store & Android Market can be daunting. Famigo Family App Review resolves this by surfacing the best apps for Apple or Android across a variety of family-focused categories. Famigo Family App Review simplifies the process of app discovery for parents by providing a unique combination of filters and power searches. As a result, parents can now zero-in on appropriate content while weeding out apps that may be inappropriate. (For a demonstration click here.)
"Whether you are looking to entertain or to educate your kids, there's a lot of great mobile content available for families. The problem is finding it," explained Famigo Co-founder and CEO Q Beck. "Existing marketplaces are very general and the number of apps can be overwhelming. Family App Review puts families first. It is a trusted one-stop resource where parents can find the latest--and the greatest--child-friendly apps quickly and easily, whether you use Apple or Android."
Famigo Makes App Discovery Easy for Apple and Android
Famigo's Family App Review greets parents with a curated list of the best family-friendly apps across the most frequently requested categories. Parents can also sign up to receive a weekly email that recommends the best apps for their platform of choice, be it Apple or Android, tailored to their family's needs.
Parents can be confident that each app is thoroughly tested by Famigo's internal review team. App ratings are determined by a team of internal reviewers who score apps according to topics such as "Ease of Use," "Educational Value," "Entertainment" and "Family Usefulness." Scores from each category are calculated and processed through an algorithm that draws on user analytics and proprietary research to mirror how real-world families assign importance in their daily choices.
Famigo's "Family Power Search" feature allows families to search and sort apps based on a number of search criteria such as: Android/Apple, Free/Paid, Age of User, Educational or Tablet Compatible. Users can refine searches by excluding features such as advertising, profanity, violence and in-app purchases, to ensure the games, apps and e-books shared with their children meet their family standards.

AT&T U-verse Rewards Customers in Honor of "Hispanic Heritage Month" With Exclusive New Content On Demand En Espanol
AT&T Continues to Develop and Nurture Relationships with Latin Music Recording Artists and Give Fans Access to the Music and Video Content They Like Across Multiple Platforms - All at no Additional Cost
DALLAS, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced that it is expanding its portfolio of On Demand En Espanol TV content for AT&T U-verse® TV customers to mirror the lifestyles and match the interests of U.S. Hispanic consumers - the country's fastest-growing demographic.
The expansion of the On Demand En Espanol TV content portfolio comes on the heels of a number of recent partnerships with Latin music industry leaders and recording artists, and it is part of the company's effort to deliver fresh new content to this growing demographic. Available On Demand En Espanol are a series of private concerts, behind-the-scenes clips, rehearsals, and interviews from some of the most popular Latin recording artists.
"It's crucial in today's society for Hispanic consumers to feel like they have a source of information that will give them a sense of connectedness to their roots, culture and heritage," said Roberto Garcia, executive director, Hispanic Marketing, AT&T. "Music is and will always be a very big part of who Hispanics are, and how they choose to express themselves. We're particularly excited to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage month and are proud and honored to join the community in an extended celebration all year round."
In recent years, AT&T has collaborated with various Latin music icons and up-and-coming talent to bring that experience to customers at home and on the go. Some of those artists include Juan Luis Guerra, Don Omar, Christian Castro, Alexis y Fido, Paulina Rubio, Thalia and Venezuelan duo Chino y Nacho. Just this past year, AT&T joined forces with global superstar JUANES, legendary Latin rock band Mana, Latin urban duo Wisin y Yandel, Spanish pop singer Natalia Jimenez, Venezuelan music icon Franco de Vita, and Puerto Rican pop singer and songwriter Luis Fonsi.
These established relationships with award-winning artists and the Latin music industry as a whole, in addition to our wide array of culturally-relevant products and services, allow AT&T and music labels to work together and design unique platforms to deliver the latest in music and enhance the overall music experience for fans.
"We at Universal Music Latin Entertainment completely embrace the AT&T motto of 'thinking without limits' and value the partnership that we have established with the company over the last 5 years," said Victor Gonzalez, President of Universal Music Latin Entertainment. "Together we have helped forge a one-of-a-kind relationship that has helped us design unique platforms with which to showcase the new releases from some of our most talented artists. The campaigns that we have executed with artists such as JUANES, Wisin & Yandel, Luis Fonsi, Paulina Rubio, Don Omar, Jenni Rivera, Banda el Recodo, Pedro Fernandez, Belanova and Chino y Nacho amongst others, are just the beginning of many great things to come."
AT&T integrates the power of music in national ad campaigns, sponsorships, and consumer engagement events in an effort to create an emotional connection with Hispanic consumers. AT&T also leverages the power of its award-wining TV service to meet the demands of U.S. Hispanic consumers. With AT&T U-verse, customers can access the content they want and when they want it, across multiple screens (TV, Online, and Mobile).
"Technology in communications has opened up many new avenues for providing access to music, and it is extremely important that communications companies recognize the power of music, especially in the Latino community," said Ruben Leyva, president, Sony Music US Latin. "AT&T is a pioneer in that it has harnessed the power of music and has developed three-screen platforms that give fans direct access to music and unique content. We are honored to be a part of this strong partnership with AT&T and are excited about the reach that the AT&T platforms will continue to give to our artists' music."
Additionally, AT&T creates memorable experiences and cultural connections for avid music fans at store events and concerts and even when they are at home or on the go with U-verse TV, U-verse Online at http://uverseonline.att.net, and on smartphones with the U-verse Mobile app. U-verse subscribers interested in the world of music and fashion can access Mundo Fama, a bi-weekly Spanish entertainment magazine show, On Demand En Espanol at no additional cost.

Sony DADC Gives PlayStation® Users Ability to Capture and Upload User Created Movies Direct to YouTube
LOOT(TM) Active Camera Offers New Social Experiences via PlayStation®Home and YouTube(TM) -- Takes Machinima Creation to the Next Level
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- User-created content can now be recorded and uploaded to both YouTube(TM) and the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) computer entertainment system's XrossMediaBar (XMB(TM)) directly from PlayStation®Home with the new LOOT(TM) Active Camera. Developed by LOOT, Sony DADC's Digital Services development team, the LOOT Active Camera features YouTube(TM) functionality and is available today in the LOOT store on PlayStation®Home, the social game platform available exclusively for PlayStation®Network on the PlayStation 3 system.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110930/NY78189 )
The introduction of the LOOT Active Camera opens the door to new realms of social video content experiences. In the past, people who wanted to capture video from video games and other virtual environments had to invest in separate PC capture and recording equipment. Now, this capability is seamlessly integrated into the PlayStation®Home experience with the LOOT Active Camera allowing users to save and upload videos coupled with controls for recording and editing provided through the XMB(TM) Video Editor & Uploader so users can share with friends on YouTube and across social networks.
Machinima creation using the PlayStation®Home platform has been a key focus for LOOT, which has been developing PlayStation®Home Machinima tools since it unveiled its first private spaces: The Living Room Stage Set 2, Ghostbuster's(TM) Firehouse: On Location and the Modular Stage Set 3. "With more than 100 Machinima-related items already available in the LOOT store, the addition of the LOOT(TM) Active Camera will help Machinima artists take their productions to the next level and offer a fun new activity in PlayStation®Home to all our customers," said David Sterling, vice president of business development at Sony DADC. "With the ability to now record and upload directly to YouTube or the PS3 XMB, it will be easier and less expensive than ever for people to realize their creative visions on the platform."
Seamless integration with YouTube makes it easier than ever for virtual videographers to share their productions across the globe. With more than 3 billion daily views, YouTube is the world's largest video distribution platform as well as a top-tier social network through which millions of people connect, inform, and inspire each other every day.
To see how the LOOT Active Camera works, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfC-PM0gHyo and to view videos created by the PlayStation®Home community, visit and subscribe to LOOT's YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/lootgear.

LOOT(TM) Active Camera Offers New Social Experiences via PlayStation®Home and YouTube(TM) -- Takes Machinima Creation to the Next Level
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- User-created content can now be recorded and uploaded to both YouTube(TM) and the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) computer entertainment system's XrossMediaBar (XMB(TM)) directly from PlayStation®Home with the new LOOT(TM) Active Camera. Developed by LOOT, Sony DADC's Digital Services development team, the LOOT Active Camera features YouTube(TM) functionality and is available today in the LOOT store on PlayStation®Home, the social game platform available exclusively for PlayStation®Network on the PlayStation 3 system.

The introduction of the LOOT Active Camera opens the door to new realms of social video content experiences. In the past, people who wanted to capture video from video games and other virtual environments had to invest in separate PC capture and recording equipment. Now, this capability is seamlessly integrated into the PlayStation®Home experience with the LOOT Active Camera allowing users to save and upload videos coupled with controls for recording and editing provided through the XMB(TM) Video Editor & Uploader so users can share with friends on YouTube and across social networks.
Machinima creation using the PlayStation®Home platform has been a key focus for LOOT, which has been developing PlayStation®Home Machinima tools since it unveiled its first private spaces: The Living Room Stage Set 2, Ghostbuster's(TM) Firehouse: On Location and the Modular Stage Set 3. "With more than 100 Machinima-related items already available in the LOOT store, the addition of the LOOT(TM) Active Camera will help Machinima artists take their productions to the next level and offer a fun new activity in PlayStation®Home to all our customers," said David Sterling, vice president of business development at Sony DADC. "With the ability to now record and upload directly to YouTube or the PS3 XMB, it will be easier and less expensive than ever for people to realize their creative visions on the platform."
Seamless integration with YouTube makes it easier than ever for virtual videographers to share their productions across the globe. With more than 3 billion daily views, YouTube is the world's largest video distribution platform as well as a top-tier social network through which millions of people connect, inform, and inspire each other every day.
To see how the LOOT Active Camera works, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfC-PM0gHyo and to view videos created by the PlayStation®Home community, visit and subscribe to LOOT's YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/lootgear.

He added, "NPA is adopting technology, advancing research and embracing a mobile revolution that's transforming the industry as a whole. With PIM's help, we are both excited to make the search for parking a thing of the past."

CA Technologies Delivers Same-Day Support for IBM's Next-Generation Mainframe Operating System
CA Mainframe Chorus, CA Mainframe Software Manager and Company's Extensive Portfolio of Mainframe Solutions Back IBM z/OS v1.13
ISLANDIA, N.Y., Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced "Day One" support for IBM's next generation z/OS® v1.13 across its extensive line of mainframe management software solutions, including CA Mainframe Chorus and CA Mainframe Software Manager (MSM) continuing to deliver timely support for new releases of IBM® System z® hardware and operating systems.
"Our same-day support reflects our commitment to helping customers maximize the value of IBM's next generation Mainframe platform with our next generation Mainframe management capabilities," said Dayton Semerjian, general manager, Mainframe, CA Technologies. "As both companies continue to innovate, we will work together to deliver on this objective."
Today's announcement arrives on the heels of record worldwide adoption of the mainframe for its long term economic value, energy efficiency and performance benefits. Specifically, mainframe maker IBM reported in the second quarter that over the past four quarters, System z revenue went up 49 percent year to year and MIPS (millions of instructions per second), the amount of mainframe computing power purchased by clients, was up 59 percent.
CA Mainframe Chorus, a key deliverable in CA Technologies strategy of helping customers reduce costs, simplify management and improve operational efficiency, supports the new z/OS release, offering a role-based integrated management workspace, rich data visualization, a modern GUI, and advanced knowledge capture and transfer capabilities.
CA Mainframe Software Manager, another pivotal product in simplifying mainframe management, helps customers more easily acquire, install, deploy, configure and maintain mainframe products. CA Mainframe Software Manager can also ease the upgrade process and accelerate time-to-benefit as customers move to the new z/OS operating system.
CA Technologies has also implemented support for IBM's SMP/E FIXCAT HOLDDATA to facilitate identification of CA product maintenance required for compatibility with z/OS v1.13, and actively engages in the early testing of z/OS and support for mutual customers participating in IBM's early testing programs.
In addition, CA Technologies recently delivered same-day support for IBM's new, innovative zEnterprise model z114 hardware and introduced new capabilities for managing Linux on System z.
"CA's same day support of the new z/OS demonstrates the industry ongoing demand for mainframe services. This announcement also proves that the mainframe's ecosystem of software solutions continues to expand, offering more flexible options for mainframe users worldwide," said Greg Lotko, vice president and business line executive for System z at IBM.

Betabrand Turns Customers Into Models With Launch of Model Citizen App

Betabrand Turns Customers Into Models With Launch of Model Citizen App
Customers-Turned-Models Broadcast Their Fame and Drive Sales in Unique Approach to Social Commerce
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Betabrand, the online clothier known for cult fashion hits like Cordarounds, Bike to Work Pants, and DARPA Hoodies, formally launched its Model Citizen app today, giving customers the chance to be instant models on Betabrand.com -- no matter how good, bad, or outrageous their photos might be.
According to founder Chris Lindland, "So many people send in shots of themselves in Betabrand products, we invented a way to turn them into our site's superstars." Since test-launching Model Citizen in May, more than a thousand customer images have premiered on Betabrand.com, each inviting an average of 20 Facebook friends to take a look. "That's more than 20,000 new visitors who've been welcomed to Betabrand by a friendly face," said Lindland.
Unlike other companies with online fan photo galleries, Betabrand actually turns customer photos into the site's principal product images. To become Model Citizens, customers simply upload their photos to the site, where they instantly get a unique product-page URL they can share with friends, family, and anyone else they want to impress beyond belief. Friends ask, "How in the world did you end up modeling for a clothing company?" And so the social-commerce conversation begins.
Since Betabrand implemented Model Citizen, the results have been impressive:
-- During Model Citizen's alpha release, the number of people it attracted
to Betabrand.com would have cost the company $22,340, assuming an
average CPC rate of $1.
-- 1 in 10 Model Citizen photos generates a trackable order from a new
customer.
-- Total number of Model Citizen images so far: 1,108.
-- Total unique views generated by Model Citizen images: 22,340 (roughly 20
views per Model Citizen image).
-- Most number of unique views: 619.
-- Most revenue generated by a Model Citizen image: $787.
-- The 14-person company expects to generate more than $2M in sales in
2011.
In addition to being fashion forward, Betabrand aims to be "fashion forward-able." From its popular clothing to regular sales newsletters and other marketing materials, everything the company creates embodies the idea that people will share things that are interesting and entertaining. "This is the most blatant way to communicate to our fans that we want to showcase customer experiences with our clothing," Lindland says. "The more people who share their photos, the more amazing the Betabrand shopping experience will become."
To learn more about Betabrand, visit: http://www.betabrand.com. Fans can submit photos by clicking the green Model Citizen tab on the right side of any Betabrand.com page.
ABOUT BETABRAND:
Established in 2009, San Francisco-based Betabrand produces unique and clever clothing in small, limited-edition, beta-tested batches every week. The lighthearted, online-only clothing company has been covered by media around the world, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist, and enjoys an ever- growing number of fans, including Stephen Colbert and Paul Feig.

Online Gaming Site, Sky Bingo, Unveils Two Brand New Bingo Games
LONDON, September 30, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Block Bashers and Castle Cashalot join Sky Bingo's Popular Range of
Online Bingo Games
It's all happening in the Online Bingo [http://www.skybingo.com/online ]
world with the announcement of Sky Bingo's two brand new bingo games. Block
Bashers and Castle Cashalot offer players the chance to win big; and with
incredible in-game cash bonuses up for grabs, there is now even more chances
of claiming top sums of money.
Brand new to Sky Bingo [http://www.skybingo.com/online ], these formats
join other popular online bingo games which can be played all day every day
through the Sky Bingo website.
You'll have the chance to build your own luck playing the game Block
Bashers, as you attempt to match combinations of different coloured blocks
to claim cash prizes. Match five symbols or more (vertically or
horizontally) and you'll receive a multiplied payout based on your initial
stake. Matching blocks will explode enabling replacement blocks to fall into
the 5 x 5 screen. The game will end when no further combinations can be
found.
However that's not all. Sky Bingo's Block Bashers bonus feature and
daily progressive jackpot stake guarantees players more chances of winning-
and winning big. So, if you're feeling lucky, why not place a cheeky maximum
GBP10 stake before playing? You could be winning more than GBP5000 if you
build your blocks right.
Based on traditional slot games, Castle Cashalot gives players a 'reel'
chance of winning cash prizes with bonus features included in-game to
guarantee more winners. The winnings paid out are dependent on the symbols
displayed on the winning line- once the five spinning reels come to a
complete stop. When symbols are matched they will explode, allowing new
symbols to fall down in their place. Wins are accumulated until there is no
possibility of matching symbols across the five reels.
You can view the payout potential for each of the winning combinations
by clicking on the "Pay Table" button, found in the bottom right hand corner
of the game- ideal for keeping a close eye on your progress throughout the
game.
Like Block Bashers, Castle Cashalot includes in-game bonuses to keep
gamers on the edge of winning at all times. To play, all gamers have to
stake is the minimum 1p bet on each reel. However remember: the higher the
stakes claimed, the higher the potential prize winnings (see Sky Bingo's
website for more information on the games unique rules).
These two brand new exciting games guarantee winners and what's more:
they're so easy to play. So to start a path to victory all players have to
do is simply create a Sky Bingo account. Right now, by simply entering Sky
Bingo's special promotional code 'BINGO', new players will receive a free
GBP20 welcome bonus when they spend just GBP5 on bingo tickets.
For more information on the rules of these sparkling brand new bingo
games, visit the Sky Bingo website [http://www.skybingo.com/online ].
About Sky Bingo
Sky Bingo [http://www.skybingo.com ] lets you play bingo online or
through your TV and connect with a great community of online bingo players.
Play bingo and make some new friends online or play one of our exciting
casino-style games 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To play at Sky Bingo you

It's all happening in the Online Bingo [http://www.skybingo.com/online ]
world with the announcement of Sky Bingo's two brand new bingo games. Block
Bashers and Castle Cashalot offer players the chance to win big; and with
incredible in-game cash bonuses up for grabs, there is now even more chances
of claiming top sums of money.
Brand new to Sky Bingo [http://www.skybingo.com/online ], these formats
join other popular online bingo games which can be played all day every day
through the Sky Bingo website.
You'll have the chance to build your own luck playing the game Block
Bashers, as you attempt to match combinations of different coloured blocks
to claim cash prizes. Match five symbols or more (vertically or
horizontally) and you'll receive a multiplied payout based on your initial
stake. Matching blocks will explode enabling replacement blocks to fall into
the 5 x 5 screen. The game will end when no further combinations can be
found.
However that's not all. Sky Bingo's Block Bashers bonus feature and
daily progressive jackpot stake guarantees players more chances of winning-
and winning big. So, if you're feeling lucky, why not place a cheeky maximum
GBP10 stake before playing? You could be winning more than GBP5000 if you
build your blocks right.
Based on traditional slot games, Castle Cashalot gives players a 'reel'
chance of winning cash prizes with bonus features included in-game to
guarantee more winners. The winnings paid out are dependent on the symbols
displayed on the winning line- once the five spinning reels come to a
complete stop. When symbols are matched they will explode, allowing new
symbols to fall down in their place. Wins are accumulated until there is no
possibility of matching symbols across the five reels.
You can view the payout potential for each of the winning combinations
by clicking on the "Pay Table" button, found in the bottom right hand corner
of the game- ideal for keeping a close eye on your progress throughout the
game.
Like Block Bashers, Castle Cashalot includes in-game bonuses to keep
gamers on the edge of winning at all times. To play, all gamers have to
stake is the minimum 1p bet on each reel. However remember: the higher the
stakes claimed, the higher the potential prize winnings (see Sky Bingo's
website for more information on the games unique rules).
These two brand new exciting games guarantee winners and what's more:
they're so easy to play. So to start a path to victory all players have to
do is simply create a Sky Bingo account. Right now, by simply entering Sky
Bingo's special promotional code 'BINGO', new players will receive a free
GBP20 welcome bonus when they spend just GBP5 on bingo tickets.

games, visit the Sky Bingo website [http://www.skybingo.com/online ].

Amer Networks' Breakthrough Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi Solution Brings Security, Reliability and Affordability to Laconia School District

Amer Networks' Breakthrough Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi Solution Brings Security, Reliability and Affordability to Laconia School District
The First Large-Scale Wi-Fi Deployment Leveraging CloudCommand's Unique, Patented Security Makes Classroom Connectivity and Network Management a Reality for New Hampshire Schools
TORONTO and PALO ALTO, Calif.,Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Amer Networks, a manufacturer and global distributor of networking, storage and security products, and PowerCloud(TM) Systems, the leading software platform provider for cloud-managed networking services, today announce that the Laconia School District in Laconia, New Hampshire, has upgraded its wireless network to Amer's cloud-managed 802.11n wireless solution powered by CloudCommand(TM).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110930/SF77823LOGO)
The new network delivers secure Wi-Fi to Laconia's entire public-school system and signals the district's commitment to delivering a 21st century learning environment to its 2,000 students. The installation additionally demonstrates how Amer's solution - which combines enterprise-type security and management features with unprecedented affordability - continues to set the standard for powerful, cost-efficient Wi-Fi in the K-12 market.
Key Facts
-- Laconia School District has completed a 76-unit installation of Amer's
cloud-managed Wi-Fi, the WAP223NC access point, into the district's six
schools and superintendent building. It supports up to 2,500 staff,
students and visitors who can access the Internet and private intranet
from classrooms, libraries, cafeterias, gymnasiums, preschool and adult
learning centers, daycare facilities and administrative offices.
-- The WAP223NC provides extensive coverage, automatic configuration,
business-grade features, remote-management capability, multi-site
roaming and hotspot functionality. It is the only Wi-Fi access point
designed specifically for the education market and is powered by
CloudCommand, a networking platform developed by PowerCloud Systems that
radically reduces customers' total cost of ownership.
-- Laconia's IT administrators apply the network's highest security setting
- called Individual Device Authentication (IDA) - to restrict
connectivity to authorized mobile devices. The patented IDA offers
two-factor security and enables administrators to individually identify
and secure hundreds of devices.
-- The district deployed each of Amer's self-configuring access points in
minutes, making setup a simple and quick process which a single IT
administrator accomplished in a matter of hours instead of days or
weeks.
-- Once the network went live, teachers immediately reported the positive
impact it had on classroom instruction, particularly in the preschool
and elementary schools, where usage is highest. In the elementary
schools, 72 laptops travel daily between classrooms on computer carts
and require reliable Wi-Fi at all times. Most elementary students have
frequent access to iPads and netbooks.
-- Amer's network replaces a collection of independent access points,
including Apple's AirPort Extreme, Cisco 4410 access points and various
Linksys models. The old infrastructure failed to meet the district's
security and monitoring requirements and was unable to keep pace with
the proliferation of wireless devices accessing them.
-- Amer's solution was selected over competitive offerings from Aruba and
Aerohive due to its combination of business-grade management features
and unbeatable pricing.
-- The network provides visitor hotspot functionality, which Laconia
leverages to support events such as evening lectures, conferences, adult
education classes and sports activities. An innovative "front desk"
interface allows assistant administrators to manually adjust a user's
connectivity privileges without disrupting the network.
-- Remote-management functionality through the cloud enables three IT
administrators to manage the network from anywhere. In real time, they
track network usage, troubleshoot problems and monitor connected devices
by location and activity levels.
Comments
Jeff Twombly, Laconia School District IT director:
"Amer's cloud-based solution amazed us with how simple and fast it was to deploy and make operational. It provides everything a mid-sized school district needs and more - from self-configuring setup to real-time alerts and convenient remote management. The Amer solution exceeds our requirements and costs less than half of comparable solutions. It's the ideal solution for school-based Wi-Fi."
Wai Lee, CEO of Amer Networks:
"The Laconia School District leads the way when it comes to preparing students for long-term success. By installing the right technology infrastructure in its schools, it has enhanced teacher instruction and improved the overall learning environment. We specifically designed our cloud-managed Wi-Fi solution for districts like Laconia, and we're thrilled with their success."

Wow! Restaurant.com Extends 90 Percent Off Groundbreaking Megadeal
Consumers Get Amazing Savings for Cravings--No Kidding--$25 Gift Certificates for One Buck
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Restaurant.com, the company that offers affordable dining experiences at more than 18,000 restaurants nationwide, announced today its 90 percent off dollar-stretching megadeal has been extended through the end of today, Friday, September 30.
Thursday's over-the-top, one-day savings celebration was a smashing success. The company saved customers more than $10 million as of 5 p.m. Thursday evening. The immense popularity of the one-day deal prompted Restaurant.com to extend its 90 percent off super sale one more day.
"Our customers need only one George Washington---you know what I mean, just a single dollar to score a $25 certificate," said Restaurant.com CEO Cary Chessick. "That's $24 in your pocket and a great night out with friends or family."
Economists who believe the dollar is shrinking have not seen this deal. According to the Consumer Price Index, what cost one-dollar in 1902 would cost about $25 today. The 90 percent off megadeal offered by Restaurant.com is most likely one of the best buys in more than a century.
"Given recent market volatility, even risky investment strategies such as playing the lottery, betting big at the racetrack, or panning for gold may seem attractive," said Restaurant.com President Christopher Krohn. "But for just $1, investing in a Restaurant.com certificate can pay dividends the very next time you plan a night out."
Consumers can save 90 percent on already discounted Restaurant.com Gift Certificates by entering promo code WOW at checkout. The offer expires at 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) September 30, but Restaurant.com dining certificates never expire.
In addition to the wildly popular $25 denomination, this deal applies to all certificate denominations offered on Restaurant.com, which include values of $10, $50, $75 and $100. For instance, $50 gift certificates are just $2 and $100 gift certificates are just $4 today only. No kidding. Consumers are encouraged to act now before the company's bigwigs change their minds. A deal this good doesn't come around very often!
About Restaurant.com
Restaurant.com helps deepen relationships and create lasting memories one dining experience at a time. The company offers savings at more than 18,000 restaurants nationwide with more than 45,000 daily gift certificate options. Restaurant.com brings family and friends together to relax, converse and enjoy dining out. Restaurant.com customers have saved more than $500 million since the Arlington Heights, Ill.-based company was founded in 1999.
