Nefsis Adds Dual Monitor Support to its Video Conferencing Online Service

The new feature adds more flexibility in displaying multipoint HD video and live sharing across business desktop and conference room applications

SAN DIEGO, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nefsis® announced today it has added dual- and multi-monitor support to its video conferencing online service. Multi-monitor support gives business users more flexibility in arranging multipoint HD videos and live sharing screens across two or more monitors in desktop and conference room settings. The added flexibility is useful for online board meetings, sales presentations, and remote training programs.

Dual, flat-panel monitors in conference rooms have become a mainstream configuration, especially where a multi-purpose conference room PC is used for data display and online video conferencing. Nefsis allows any combination of floating, picture-in-picture, or tiled videos and live data sharing on any monitor. For example, all the videos on one monitor, while all the presentation materials are on the other.

The Nefsis cloud provides all the technical capabilities traditionally provided by multipoint video conferencing infrastructure - including video routing, multichannel mixing, and desktop gateway services. Customers that can browse the web need only a webcam or HD peripheral to join a video conference.

Customers with adequate bandwidth can use the Nefsis cloud and its peripheral-agnostic capabilities to create their own telepresence studio with multiple HD displays. Company officials noted that this do-it-yourself approach has many advantages over proprietary telepresence systems, namely lower cost, industry standard SSL security, and desktop reach - widely regarded pitfalls of current telepresence systems.

"Our multi-monitor support highlights the advantages of cloud-based video conferencing and off-the-shelf peripherals: tons of flexibility for any size business for any application, desktop to conference room," said Tom Toperczer, Nefsis Vice President of Marketing.

Multi-monitor support is available now to all Nefsis subscribers and trial users. For a 14-day free trial, please visit Nefsis.com.

UTStarcom Issues Statement on Corporate Governance Practices

BEIJING, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. ("UTStarcom" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: UTSI), a leading provider of interactive, IP-based network solutions in iDTV, IPTV, Internet TV and Broadband for cable and telecom operators, issued today a shareholder rights statement to reiterate that after the proposed reorganization of UTStarcom as a Cayman Islands company, to be effected through a merger (the "Merger") of UTStarcom with a subsidiary of UTStarcom Holdings Corp. ("UTStarcom Holdings"), a Cayman Islands incorporated company, the corporate governance practices of UTStarcom Holdings are expected to remain consistent with UTStarcom's current corporate governance practices as a Delaware incorporated company.

Following completion of the Merger, UTStarcom Holdings is expected to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company will remain subject to the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), and as long as the UTStarcom Holdings' ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ"), the governance and disclosure rules of that stock exchange.

As a foreign private issuer, UTStarcom Holdings will be exempt from certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that would otherwise apply if UTStarcom Holdings were a company incorporated in the United States or did not meet the other conditions to qualify as a foreign private issuer. However, the Company has committed to initially maintaining the following corporate governance practices following the Merger, as the Company believes and understands the real value of operating and executing within good governance standards:

    --  the majority of the board of directors of UTStarcom Holdings will be
        comprised of independent directors;

    --  executive compensation for UTStarcom Holdings will be determined by
        independent directors or a committee of independent directors;

    --  director nominees of UTStarcom Holdings will be selected, or recommended
        for selection by the board of directors, by independent directors or a
        committee of independent directors;

    --  UTStarcom Holdings will have an audit committee comprised of at least
        three members, each of whom will be an independent director and one of
        whom will have finance and accounting experience;

    --  all related party transactions will be reviewed by the audit committee
        or another independent body of the board of directors; and

    --  UTStarcom Holdings will conduct an advisory (non-binding) vote on
        executive compensation once every three years, until UTStarcom Holdings
        determines to conduct such advisory votes more frequently or to not
        conduct them at all.

Because of differences between Delaware law and Cayman Islands law, and differences between the governing documents of UTStarcom and UTStarcom Holdings, the Company is unable to adopt governing documents for UTStarcom Holdings that are identical to the governing documents for UTStarcom, but  the Company has attempted to preserve in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of UTStarcom Holdings the same allocation of material rights and powers between the shareholders and the board of directors of UTStarcom Holdings that exists under UTStarcom's Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation, specifically as the Company understands its investors concerns and potential governance discounts given by investors to Cayman registered companies.

On May 25, 2011, the SEC declared effective a Form F-4 Registration Statement, which includes a Proxy Statement of UTStarcom and also constitutes a Prospectus of UTStarcom Holdings (the "proxy statement/prospectus), in connection with the proposed reorganization of UTStarcom as a Cayman Islands company. The reorganization will be effected through the Merger, resulting in the shares of UTStarcom being converted into the right to receive shares of UTStarcom Holdings. Holders of UTStarcom common stock as of April 25, 2011, the record date, are asked to approve the proposed Merger at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held on Friday, June 24, 2011 at 4:00 p.m., local time.

About UTStarcom, Inc.

UTStarcom is a leading provider of interactive, IP-based network solutions in iDTV, IPTV, Internet TV and Broadband for cable and telecom operators. The Company sells its solutions to operators in both emerging and established telecommunications and cable markets around the world. UTStarcom enables its customers to rapidly deploy revenue-generating access services using their existing infrastructure, while providing a migration path to cost-efficient, end-to-end IP networks.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release includes forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the corporate governance practices of UTStarcom Holdings following the Merger, the terms and completion of the proposed Merger, the change in the Company's place of incorporation, the rules and regulations UTStarcom Holdings will be subject to following the Merger, UTStarcom Holdings' qualification as a foreign private issuer and the proposal to be approved by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting. These statements are forward-looking in nature and subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability of the parties to consummate the proposed Merger, the satisfaction of closing conditions to consummate the Merger, and obtaining requisite approvals, including from the Company's stockholders, and the ability of UTStarcom Holdings to qualify and maintain its status as a foreign private issuer.  All forward-looking statements included in this release are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this release, which may change, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

DealExtreme.com Unveils Top 3 Best-Selling Androids Tablets

HONG KONG, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- DealExtreme, the leading online electronics retailer, adds three new top-selling Android Tablet PCs to its product-line.

Move over Apple, DealExtreme has created three smaller, more affordable, Android-based clones of the iPad.

With Android recently overtaking Apple as the #1 mobile operating system, the Android Tablet PC has skyrocketed in popularity around the world. Google's Android operating system is currently the fastest growing mobile platform, predicted to hold 38% of the global market by 2015.

"Consumers are demanding smaller, more affordable tablet alternatives to Apple's iPad," says Mr. Luo, head of marketing at DealExtreme. "Android Tablet PCs are not only more portable and more compatible; they're also half of the cost of an iPad which makes them an attractive choice for first-time buyers."

In response to customer demand for these devices, DealExtreme has added three new best-selling Android Tablet PC models to its product-line:

. DX 8 inch Android 2.2 Tablet PC w/ ARM Cortex-A8 1GHz, Wifi/HDMI

All of the gadget aficionados agree: this 8 inch tablet, weighing a mere 17 ounces, roughly the size of an Amazon Kindle, packs a powerful multi-media punch compared to the average tablet PC. 1GHz ARM Cortex processor and 512 MB of RAM handle multiple applications with ease - the biggest departure from the one-app-at-a-time iPad experience. Users no longer need to wait for websites to load before switching over to a Skype chat window or a game of Angry Birds. Users can also access Flash content on sites that support mobile access, like Hulu.com and YouTube - a feat literally impossible with Apple's iPad. Just when you thought it was safe to buy an iPad, the genius gadget scientists at DealExtreme have just made your decision a little bit harder!

. DX 7 inch Android Tablet PC Wifi/TF Slot

Why spend $1500 on a laptop when all you do is check email, watch movies, Facebook and Tweet? Replace that bulky laptop and get a smaller, more portable tablet PC weighing a mere 14 ounces! Do everything that you can't do on an iPad: stream movies in flash, take pictures with your 1.3 megapixel camera, add more memory with a TF/SD card, and enjoy USB slots. With such an affordable price-tag, buy one for every member of the family!

Bottom-line: if you're caving an affordable tablet that'll keep you "connected" this is the tablet PC you've been waiting for. It has everything you need to watch movies, check email, read e-books, and surf the net. Ideal for those of us who are looking for something functional and portable at an affordable price but don't need all those extra bells and whistles like video-conferencing, 3G, and Bluetooth, etc.

. DX 7 inch Android 2.2 Tablet w/ WiFi/HDMI/Camera//USB/3G (Cortex-A8 1GHz)

The ultimate multi-media tablet PC complete with an affordable, recession-friendly price-tag! Great for long road trips and keeping the kids entertained in the mini-van. Watch movies, play games, and download a GPS app or two if you're prone to getting lost.  Plus, with a powerful, 3000mAh rechargeable battery, keep everyone entertained for up to 12 hours!

College students and mobile professionals will fall in love with its overall speed and functionality - USB ports, SD card slots for removable storage, HDMI port, built-in wifi, 1Ghz processor, and 3G. Small, portable, and well-suited for all types of environments - both work and play.

Take it to the office, look smart, and be more productive. Put on snazzy, big-screen presentations for the boss, use 3G to keep in-touch with clients, manage email & download business apps, and tap into wifi anywhere in the world!

DealExtreme's Android Tablet PCs are changing how people consume content - they are convenience, ultra portable, and more affordable than laptops. Android PC tablets are ideal for families, friends, and mobile business professionals that need to stay "connected" and want the convenience of having an all-in-one device that is well-suited for mobile communications, web browsing & email management, as well as for personal media/entertainment.

Highlights & Key Features:

    --  100% FREE Worldwide Shipping: All of DealExtreme's new best-selling
        Android Tablet PCs come with FREE worldwide shipping.
    --  Small & Portable: With a 7-8 inch LCD touch screen, take your Android
        Tablet anywhere. It's smaller than an iPad, larger than a smart phone,
        and the same size as the Kindle!
    --  Fast & Powerful: Google Android OS, 3G-enabled, 4GB flash hard drive,
        1GHz processor, and wifi-enabled.
    --  Google Android-Compatible: Android 2.1 and 2.2 OS is the most popular
        and fastest operating system in the world. You can further customize and
        enhance your device by downloading any of the 55,000 third-party apps at
        the Android Marketplace.
    --  Wifi-enabled: Built-in WiFi makes it possible to access wireless
        networks from anywhere in the world - no need for a hotspot.
    --  Stay Connected: Check email, sync directly to your Gmail, Facebook, and
        Twitter accounts; chat with friends, surf the web, and stay up to date
        with latest news.
    --  Media/Entertainment: Stream video, watch movies, read books, play games,
        and conduct business. The Android Tablet supports all current audio and
        video formats, comes wifi enabled, and has SD/USB ports.
    --  Camera: Built-in 1.3 megapixel front camera/HDMI enabled. Great for
        taking pictures and video-conferencing with friends and for business.

If you need to be "connected" 24-hours a day, but are tired of dragging around a heavy laptop and need a larger screen than a smart phone, check out an Android Tablet PC today!

Muzak, now part of Mood Media Corporation, helps John Varvatos Celebrate the Release of Urge Overkill's New Album Rock & Roll Submarine

NEW YORK, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -  Muzak, Whitesmith Entertainment and
fashion designer John Varvatos celebrated the release of Rock & Roll Submarine, the first new release in 16 years from alternative rock band Urge
Overkill.   Nearly two decades after Exit the Dragon (Geffen) and their popular Pulp Fiction cover, "Girl, You'll Be A Woman
Soon," founding members Nash Kato and Eddie Roeser have reformed the
band that sold over 2.5 million albums and epitomized rock star
personality in the early 90s.

The retail experience design team within Muzak, called Touch, helps
retailers and retail brands evaluate, design, and implement
sensory-marketing solutions. On behalf of contemporary high-end fashion
client John Varvatos, and in partnership with Whitesmith Entertainment,
the design team used social media to spread the word and build
excitement leading up to the album launch.

The week before its May 10th release, the design team previewed Rock & Roll Submarine at Johnvarvatos.com, on the John Varvatos Facebook page and on JV's
Funhouse, the Varvatos blog. The campaign culminated in an invitation
only, live music event at the flagship boutique of high-fashion
menswear designer John Varvatos in New York City's Bowery district at
the former site of the famed CBGB music club.   

"Fashion and music unite Urge Overkill and John Varvatos," said Emily
White of Whitesmith Entertainment.   "The collaboration was a no brainer
for us. Urge brings a timeless rock-n-roll edge to John's amazing
high-end men's fashion, resulting in a phenomenal event."

Tor Caracappa, Varvatos' Head of Visual, said "We exposed a ton of
people to the real rock ethos of the John Varvatos brand, and gave them
a memorable experience in the process."

Lorne Abony, CEO and Chairman of Mood Media said, "Creating strategic
content partnerships like this is what we are all about.   In this
instance, we were able to leverage our deep music industry relations
and our knowledge of the John Varvatos brand to create a strategic
relationship that was a win-win for all parties."

Hundreds of Fans Choose "Proudest Cooking Moment" Winners for Olivari® Mediterranean Olive Oil

Escargot, Marriage Proposal and Intense Last Minute Voting Turn the Tide

ROME, N.Y., June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fans of award-winning Olivari Mediterranean Olive Oil chose Lynn Bowen of Geraldine, AL, and Jill Gilber of Philadelphia, PA, as the winners of the brand's "Proudest Cooking Moment" contest, which celebrated Olivari's proud moment as winner of the 2011 Product of the Year Award. The contest winners' compelling stories about memorable meals they cooked with pride drove hundreds of fans to vote for their favorite tale. Overwhelming demand and dramatic last minute voting turned the contest into a nail-biter that was too close to call, resulting in two clear favorites emerging victorious.

Gilber's story about successfully charming her foodie parents with escargot earned her accolades:

"My parents...are the "Siskel and Ebert" of the Sunday dinner table. They would often dine out at some very fancy-shmancy restaurants a couple of times during the week...This past Easter, I served escargot as an appetizer. My parents...couldn't get enough. Not only did my mother look at me and give me two thumbs up, literally; she proceeded to tell me that my version was better than what my parents had just ordered at a French restaurant the night before. I am still on cloud nine."

Bowen's story about comfort food as a set up for her daughter's engagement was a crowd pleaser:

"My proudest cooking moment took place on...my oldest daughter's 22nd birthday. Her boyfriend had shared with me that he was going to ask her to marry him that night...So I told her that I wanted to cook her favorite meal for her birthday. After the meal, with her family and his standing by, she began to open birthday presents. His present was last...he presented her a little box, tied to a fishing pole, and popped the question! She accepted the proposal and I take a little bit of the credit for creating this special moment...Actually, my fried chicken takes the credit!"

To read the full winning entries, visit http://www.olivarimediterraneanoliveoil.com/the-results-are-in.

Bowen and Gilber were among 232 contestants who submitted their stories to Olivari's "Proudest Cooking Moment" contest in April and May 2011. From May 15 to May 31, more than 1,000 votes were cast by Olivari Facebook fans. The winners received a prize package consisting of a $450 supermarket gift card, an Olivari garlic press, an Olivari kitchen apron, and a year's supply of Olivari Mediterranean Olive Oil.

"The winning stories both exemplify one of Olivari Mediterranean Olive Oil's core values, which is the belief that, while a meal itself can be good, a meal shared with friends and family is truly great," said Eryn Balch, marketing manager at Olivari Mediterranean Olive Oil. "Whether it is the victory of conquering a dish like escargot or the simple togetherness of a favorite family dinner, the end result is the same - pride, love and laughter. Congratulations to all our contest entrants and we hope you continue to celebrate every great cooking moment, both large and small!"

MONROE, La., June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) announced today that it will join the Internet community as a World IPv6 Day participant. On June 8, 2011, CenturyLink(TM) Business will participate in what is described as a "test flight" to ensure a successful transition to Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). As a leading provider of IPv6 services, CenturyLink is helping jump start adoption of IPv6 while also creating a transition path for business customers to embrace the new Internet addressing system.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090602/DA26511LOGO)

"CenturyLink is continuing its leadership as a network operator by participating in this historic event," said Pieter Poll, senior vice president of network planning engineering and construction for CenturyLink. "The groundwork that comes out of World IPv6 Day will help set the stage for worldwide adoption of the evolving Internet. IPv6 will enable greater security and allow for convergence in ways we can only now imagine."

Organized by The Internet Society (ISOC), World IPv6 Day is a 24-hour trial to motivate Internet service providers, network operators, operating system vendors and web companies to prepare their services for the almost limitless supply of IPv6 addresses and ensure a successful transition as the world's supply of IPv4 address space runs out. Transitioning to IPv6 will take time as the new protocol is not backward compatible with IPv4. For this reason, the two protocols will coexist as networking devices are enabled to seamlessly support both. CenturyLink and all other World IPv6 Day participants will also gather input on our network and the customer experience in order to gain best practices and improvements for deployment as adoption of IPv6 becomes ubiquitous.

As the world's supply of IPv4 addresses exhausts, IPv6 addresses will accommodate approximately 5 x 10^28 addresses for each of the roughly 6.5 billion people alive today. This expansion allows for many more computers, smart phones, automobiles, Web-based devices as well as additional users to join the Internet community. Network security is also integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture, and the IPv6 specification mandates support for IP security as a fundamental interoperability requirement.

Participation in World IPv6 Day by CenturyLink Business continues the company's leadership of addressing the Internet's explosive growth.  In July 2010, Qwest (which subsequently has been acquired by CenturyLink) announced it was offering both public and private IPv6 based services.

To help government and enterprise customers understand the transition, CenturyLink offers options to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6. CenturyLink works actively with government and industry on issues associated with protecting networks and information that flows through them. By offering the next-generation security that is integral to dedicated IPv6 addressing, CenturyLink is doing its part to provide government and business customers with the most advanced network security available.

Additional information is posted on the Internet Society's World IPv6 Day page and at the Qwest Business IPv6 Page.

Boob Wobble App Sells 1.1 Million Copies for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch

Silicon Spark Releases Wobble for iPad & Android

BRISBANE, Australia, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 2009, the infamous Wobble App for iOS has been installed on over 1.1 million iPhones and iPod touches. It's now launching some extra features and a brand new HD version for the iPad. Apple has just approved the new Wobble HD and Google has also given the green light for the Android version.

Currently available for download at Apple's iTunes Appstore, and the Android Marketplace, this software, developed by Australia's Silicon Spark pty ltd, a private company based in South East Queensland, provides users the ability to animate any given part of a photo on the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into realistic 3D animations driven by the actual movement of the device.

"Back in 2008, Apple declined a similar software known as iBoobs on the grounds that it was indecent because that application seemed to be geared toward a particular part of a woman's anatomy," explains Silicon Spark's Jon Atherton, but with over a million views of their YouTube demo video, there appeared to be a huge demand for wobbling boobs on the iPhone or iPod touch.

Whereas iBoobs was developed with seemingly limited scope, the Wobble applications allow users to apply "wobbles" to any part of any photo be it breasts, arms, legs etc. It's completely up to the user to determine what they choose to animate, and no images are included in the download.

For only $1.99 (USD) iPhone or iPod touch owners can purchase and download the Wobble application via the iTunes Appstore and a demo is available at http://chillifresh.com/wobble/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IB5wdvAbPY

After opening the Wobble application the user can select a photo to animate and position the round Wobble region overlays onto the photo. Then the fun begins. Shaking the unit up and down, side to side, or even in a circular path will cause anything in the chosen region to move as if it was really reacting to the movement (let your imagination run a little bit here, and you can see the advantages, and all for a couple of bucks).

Wobble will work on photos either taken by the user, or saved from the Internet as well as those received via email.

"With over 1,100,000 copies sold in the last 2 years, Wobble has been a huge hit. Due to popular demand we've created a version for Android users which is available now. Also a new HD version, once you've seen Wobble HD on the iPad you'll truly understand why the iPad is such a magical device!" adds Atherton.

To encourage users to spread the word, it will soon be possible to share Wobbles with friends via SMS, magically including the animated parts of a photo (again it could be a shaking leg or a wobbling - well you get the picture).

The developers are planning a number of new features in coming weeks which will be released as a free upgrade, including 3D without glasses, and an Augmented Reality video version, these features add to an already impressive array: Auto Wobble - Hands Free Kit, Blow to Wobble, Multitouch Wobble and 3D using red blue glasses!

The Northern Hemisphere is heading into summer, which means there will be plenty of things to Wobble! After a long summer of exhaustive Beta testing on the Gold Coast of Australia the developers are convinced that new buyers of the Wobble App will find Wobble just as entertaining as the first million happy users!

Silicon Spark pty ltd is a small private Australian company based in South East Queensland. Silicon Spark was established in late 2008 to build iOS and Android applications. The smart phone platforms enable small developers to take advantage of the massive software sales infrastructure built by Apple. Silicon Spark is comprised of a small number of staff and is forecast to have sales in excess of two million USD for calendar year 2011.

MIMcloud 2.0, the Next Generation of Cloud Computing for Medical Images, Shown at SIIM 2011

CLEVELAND, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MIM Software Inc., a leading global provider of medical imaging software, announced today that MIMcloud 2.0 has been released worldwide. MIM Software is currently demonstrating MIMcloud 2.0 at their booth (#725/727) at the 2011 SIIM conference in Washington, D.C. MIMcloud provides an easy, convenient, and secure way for physicians and patients to transfer images.

"MIMcloud combined with Mobile MIM makes remote imaging practical on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. MIMcloud also integrates with our workstation software for a complete viewing solution," said Mark Cain, MIM Software's Chief Technology Officer. "And with our recent release of VueMe for patients, we decided to expand MIMcloud's capabilities."

The new MIMcloud 2.0 interface features thumbnail previews, improved searching, and a set of intuitive tabs for users to view, share, and control their studies. Flexible permissions and role management meet the needs of both small and large institutions.

New IBM Cloud Services to Address Education Challenges

Analytics, student labs and research collaboration available through IBM SmartCloud

ARMONK, N.Y., June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new cloud services to deliver advanced software, computer lab resources and services to students and researchers at schools, colleges and universities, without the need for advanced IT expertise at those locations.

(Logo http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

The IBM SmartCloud for Education is a set of cloud services and offerings designed to help education systems leverage predictive analytics to get real-time insights on student and institutional performance, enhance researcher effectiveness, and alleviate constrained lab resources for learning.

By using the IBM SmartCloud for Education services, K-12 schools and higher education institutions can address significant challenges they face:  student retention, graduation rates, grant funding, and demands for IT resources for learning and research.  Schools can analyze their own data using new SPSS models and tools running in a cloud to identify at-risk students at an early stage.  Additional cloud-based social networking tools help discover and recommend funding opportunities and collaborators to researchers.  Students and educators can also benefit from self-service reservation of and seamless access to virtual computer resources both on campus and on the IBM public cloud.

"Cloud computing offers educational institutions the ability to transform learning processes to be more student-centered, as well as the potential to reduce costs through shared services," said Michael King, vice president, IBM Global Education Industry. "Our announcements today lay the groundwork for institutions, systems, and states to begin creating these integrated cloud services for their constituents."

The new set of services in the IBM SmartCloud for Education include:

Decision Management for Education

This software-as-a-service solution uses all available information within the institution to make real time, informed decisions using leading edge predictive analytical technologies from IBM SPSS.  The solution can greatly help administrators and teachers identify individuals with greatest propensity to succeed as well as at-risk students, apply resources and interventions most effectively and then qualify timing and nature of funding initiatives.

One higher education institution has used IBM's Decision Management for Education to address student retention issues, and can now predict with 80% certainty whether a student is going to drop out.  The system uses pre-defined, user-friendly, and web-based modeling to answer common questions about K-12 and higher education performance by deriving insights from available data about students, faculty, community or donors.

IBM Cloud Offerings for Virtual Computing Lab

The IBM Virtual Computing Lab Cloud Solutions for Education provide enhanced services and tools to enable a cloud computing environment as an on-campus private cloud or a 'hybrid' cloud connected to the IBM SmartCloud.

Beginning with a collaborative project with North Carolina State University in 2002, IBM has worked with institutions around the world to enable the award-winning Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) open source software platform that was built by and for education.   Today over a half million students and educators have access to this cloud platform on IBM hardware servers.  These announcements broaden IBM's solutions to build on that success to include:

    --  Quickstart services to accelerate the migration from traditional to
        cloud computing
    --  VCL integrated server environment built on the IBM BladeCenter
        Foundation for Cloud
    --  Advanced VCL image management through Tivoli Provisioning Manager
    --  Integrated access to IBM SmartCloud compute resources from campus-based
        VCL system
    --  Pricing for SPSS software in a hosted virtualized environment for
        students or faculty members on or off campus, in accordance with the
        institution's license agreement

As part of these announcements, IBM is donating the application program interface (API) code for the hybrid cloud connection to the IBM SmartCloud to the Apache Foundation project for VCL.

"At NC State, VCL cloud serves more than 40,000 users and delivers 250,000 resource reservations and over 11 million HPC CPU hours per year and our partnership with IBM has been the key to its development and success. VCL has transformed the way we deliver computational and educational services to our students," said Dr. Mladen Vouk, professor and head of the Department of Computer Science at NC State University. "VCL provides countless opportunities to better serve our constituency and implement numerous savings and advantages - from provisioning a broad variety of software packages and applications for use by our students in classrooms, teaching laboratories and at home, to customized desktops, to support for researchers, to reduced cost of operations and maintenance that can offer an HPC CPU hour for pennies, to prolonged life-time of equipment."

Sharon Pitt, Executive Director of the Division for Instructional Technology at George Mason University, has seen a dramatic improvement in services to students and faculty as a results of their VCL implementation.  "IBM's services for VCL has helped GMU accelerate the migration to virtual labs for students and faculty, and deliver direct value to the university in reduction of costs and staff time."

Academic Research Collaboration and Analytics

In a related announcement, IBM has established a collaborative research effort with the University of Rhode Island to use cloud-based analytics and social networking tools to help researchers more easily find funding opportunities; identify collaborators around the world; and locate the latest published research findings in their fields.

The research project between IBM and URI's College of Pharmacy is a "First-of-a-Kind" (FOAK) project based on a patented IBM invention aimed at helping academic researchers quickly find the resources they need to better plan, manage and measure the progress of their research projects.  The college, for example, is managing a $42 million federal biomedical science research program, and needs fast, reliable information on scientists and their work.

The Academic Research Collaboration and Analytics system relies on the Unstructured Information Management Architecture to analyze textual research data; the same technology was used in IBM's Watson project to enable computers to compete with humans in answering complex questions.

IBM has been collaborating with a community of leaders to create innovative approaches with cloud computing to help transform education.  For instance, the IBM Cloud Academy is uniquely designed for K-12 schools and higher education institutions actively integrating cloud technologies into their infrastructures to share best practices and work together on this transformation.  By encouraging collaboration among members and with IBM researchers, developers, and IT architects, the IBM Cloud Academy includes participating institutions in a community that helps maximize the benefits of cloud computing investments. For more information about the IBM Cloud Academy, please visit: http://www.ibm.com/solutions/education/cloudacademy.

ROSEVILLE, Calif., June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SureWest Communications (NASDAQ: SURW) today announced the launch of Microsoft Mediaroom 2.0 for its Advanced Digital TV video product in the Sacramento region. This upgrade enhances the ability of customers to watch what they want, when they want. In addition to managing and watching recorded programs on every TV in the home, SureWest Advanced Digital TV customers can now pause, rewind and fast-forward live programs on all of their receivers, including non-DVRs.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050908/SFSUREWESTLOGO)

Ken Johnson, SureWest's chief technology officer, said, "With the IP-based Microsoft Mediaroom TV platform, our Advanced Digital TV product continues to create new and exciting features that benefit our customers. Since its launch in early 2010, Advanced Digital TV has proven to drive growth for the company and will continue to do so because of its ability to quickly release the latest advancements in video technology that our customers demand. Combined with our symmetrical high-speed Internet that reaches speeds up to 50 Mbps and our interactive Voice over IP phone service, Advanced Digital TV delivers what we believe is the best triple-play package in both quality and value in the market."

The new update is immediately available and consists of a middleware upgrade from Mediaroom 1.6 to 2.0, which not only adds the ability to control live TV from every set-top box, but is the platform required for future product enhancements. These will include enhanced picture-in-picture functionality and SureWest Multi-View, which will allow Advanced Digital TV customers to watch four channels at once on the TV screen. Both are scheduled to launch this summer. Additionally, SureWest is in the final stages of releasing a new Whole Home DVR with double the storage space, while adding over 20 new channels to its lineup, more On Demand content and extra online video content.

At the beginning of 2011, SureWest had 167,000 Advanced Digital TV capable homes, and is making the product available to nearly 7,000 new homes this year. In just two weeks, SureWest completed sales to 10% of the first 1,500 new Advanced Digital TV homes released in late April. "With these types of results, we are convinced Advanced Digital TV will enable SureWest to drive long-term subscriber and ARPU growth while reducing churn," said Scott Barber, SureWest's chief operating officer. "We are offering a product with a unique set of features that are not available through other video providers in our market, allowing us to differentiate ourselves to keep current customers while attracting new ones."

Viewers can take Advanced Digital TV for a test drive at http://www.surewest.com/change and see first-hand all the exciting features that will take their home entertainment experience to the next level. In addition to the new upgrade, features also include Whole Home DVR, which allows for watching and recording up to four streams on any TV in the home with just one hard-drive equipped DVR, a sleek and user-friendly transparent menu system so you never miss what you are watching as you scroll through the guide, and live picture-in-picture preview so you see what's on other networks before changing the channel.

Through the first quarter 2011, Advanced Digital TV's average monthly revenue per customer (ARPU) was $135, with approximately 98% of Advanced Digital TV customers bundling Internet and 85% subscribing to a triple-play. In just over a year, Advanced Digital TV already makes up 60% of SureWest's video subscribers in the Sacramento market, with a forecast of 80% by the end of 2011. It helped increase SureWest's overall residential subscribers by 2% year-over-year, and drove a 15% year-over-year increase in the Sacramento region's video subscribers.

The game is the first to use detailed motion-capture simulation technology similar to what was used to create the movie Avatar.  The result is a painstakingly detailed simulations of Lester's exact movements, demeanor, pitch selection - even ball trajectory, arm speed and shoulder angles - game players can feel what it's really like to stand 60-feet, six-inches away from a major league pitcher.  And like big-league hitters, players can learn Lester's tendencies over time and rack up higher scores for merchandise and prizes in the HardBall Ace "locker room."

"We offer a new mobile 3D video game experience that not only recreates an athletes skills in action but also allows the game player to compete with the athlete on the virtual field," said Jeremy Bargiel, Chief Operating Officer, Face the Ace Games.  "In Hardball Ace, we've created an immersive on-the field perspective, from the fans in the stand, to the locker room, to the batter's box. You can almost smell the fresh cut grass. It's as real as it gets," states Jim Langford, Chief Technology Officer.

Face the Ace Games has programmed algorithms into the game to simulate the finest details of Jon's unique pitching style.  From his left-handed, three-quarters arm angle delivery, to his command of the outside of the strike zone and his proficiency at mixing speeds, to his growing tendency to throw his 96-mph, four-seam fastball in strike-out situations.

"Hardball Ace is about as close as you can come to facing me without digging into the batters' box," said Lester.  "I worked closely with Face the Ace Games to make sure that we captured the real major league experience.  In fact, we got so close to my style that I was worried about giving up secrets to the competition."
