Etymotic Expands CUSTOM*FIT Program for Hearing Protection and Earphone Products

Etymotic Partners with ACS and Microsonic to Add More Than 1,000 Audiologists to Take Custom Ear Impressions

CHICAGO, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Etymotic Research (http://www.etymotic.com), an innovator in hearing wellness solutions and the inventor of in-ear technology, today announced the expansion of its CUSTOM*FIT network of authorized custom ear impression centers through its partnerships with Advanced Communications Systems (ACS Custom), Ltd and Microsonic.  Designed to provide unprecedented levels of sound quality, fit and comfort, custom earmolds enhance any of the company's earplugs and in-ear headsets by making the product completely personalized to the user's ear.  With this new expansion, more than 1,000 audiologists will be added to take custom ear canal impressions. As a result, over 80 percent of the U.S. population is within 25 miles of an authorized CUSTOM*FIT center.

Etymotic already partners with Advanced Communications Systems, Ltd. (ACS Custom) and has signed on a new partner -- Microsonic -- to expand their network of audiologists, speed time-to-delivery of custom earmolds, and increase convenience for the consumer.   Etymotic has also launched a new website, complete with a network audiologist locator and interactive partner page at http://www.etymotic.com/customfit.

"Until recently, custom hearing protection and earphones were available only to professional musicians and at extremely high costs," said Mark Karnes, managing director of consumer products at Etymotic.  "Our CUSTOM*FIT program provides an opportunity for music lovers to have a custom experience at a reasonable cost.  And now we are making the experience more convenient than ever."

By adding CUSTOM*FIT earmolds to Etymotic's ear plugs and earphones, music lovers can enjoy complete comfort during extended listening, exercise and travel.  With a custom, secure fit designed specifically for the individual ear, users enjoy the highest levels of noise isolation, so they get the best sound quality at lower, safer levels.  Etymotic's custom earmolds are priced at $100 and come with a one year guarantee.

How Does It Work?

Etymotic customers must register their product on the Etymotic website to receive their CUSTOM*FIT voucher and to use their zip code to locate the nearest authorized audiologist within the CUSTOM*FIT network.  The audiologist will make an impression of the ear canal using soft silicone material.  The process takes less than 10 minutes.  Ear impressions are sent to production and customers typically receive their personalized earmolds within 3 - 4 weeks.

Bernstein Launches Web "Microsite" for Endowments & Foundations

Research sheds light on ways for nonprofit organizations to meet the challenge of reduced investment portfolios with increased demands on grant-making

NEW YORK, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Global Wealth Management, a unit of AllianceBernstein L.P., announced today it has launched a website dedicated to helping endowments and foundations meet the pressing financial demands they face today through the careful management of their grant-making policies. The "microsite," which includes two groundbreaking research reports and four webcasts, is designed to help virtually any type of non-profit organization -- from family foundations to public foundations and endowments.

The site URL iswww.alliancebernstein.com/nonprofits

It can also be reached through Bernstein's home page at http://www.bernstein.com

The research reports provide valuable insight into an area that is often given short shrift by nonprofits and their financial advisors: matching spending policy and asset allocation to the organization's mission. The four webcasts focus on the highlights of Bernstein's research, specifically:

    --  How the concept of "Total Philanthropic Value" can help align
        grant-making policy with mission
    --  An analysis of spending smoothing formulas, showing how they can be
        applied with greater effectiveness
    --  Spending through an economic slump: Determining if high spending rates
        will threaten an organization's longevity
    --  A study of popular hybrid spending models, showing how small changes to
        grant-making policy can have far-reaching ramifications

Bernstein's research comes at an opportune time. "Spending policy has become a hot button for nonprofits because of financial market volatility and local budget crises," says Brian Wodar, a Director at Bernstein. "Many nonprofits are struggling financially, yet the people and organizations that depend on their grants are more in need than ever."

"There are solutions," Wodar adds. "These are what our research explores. We use a unique quantitative tool to help nonprofits assess how changes in spending policy and asset allocation will affect their ability to balance the dual goals of spending and investing for the future."

LG Electronics Teams With Tribeca Flashpoint Academy to Make 3D Technology More Accessible to Budding Filmmakers, Consumers

Students' Original 3D Shorts to Debut at Tribeca Film Festival on New LG Cinema 3D HDTVs

CHICAGO and NEW YORK, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Joining forces with Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy, the nation's fastest-growing media arts college, LG Electronics USA is bringing the next-generation 3D TV technology to budding filmmakers for the first time.

Under this unique initiative, LG is providing students and faculty with resources to produce 3D content, as well as financial support to help drive the emerging 3D genre forward. As the centerpiece of the program, Tribeca Flashpoint Academy students in Chicago are creating 3D short films that will debut on LG's new Cinema 3D HDTVs during the 10th Annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, which runs from April 20 through May 1. LG Electronics USA is the official HDTV Sponsor of the Tribeca Film Festival. Films that are to be showcased at the Festival include two short films on The Flying Wallendas Highwire Family, which translate the excitement and tension inherent in a highwire performance that cannot be captured in a 2D audience perspective; and an animated film, "The Universe of 3D," illustrating beauty, motion and the many layers of depth of one object.

"As the 3D film genre and at-home 3D TV technology continue to grow, it's becoming increasingly important for young filmmakers to learn the ropes of shooting and editing in 3D," said Jon Patricof, COO, Tribeca Enterprises. "It's great to see companies like LG becoming more involved and wanting to help to provide aspiring filmmakers with the resources they need to create content for both the cinema enthusiast and viewer at home and we are thrilled to be showcasing this work at the Tribeca Film Festival."

Longer-term, the partnership will also benefit consumers by aiding in the creation of additional 3D content that can be watched at home. LG Cinema 3D HDTVs use a similar 3D technology as employed in movie theatres. Because the glasses do not need to sync with an emitter, viewers can watch from nearly any angle in the room. The reasonable cost of the glasses also makes it easier to buy as many pairs as needed to host family and friends for a 3D movie or sports night.

"As we continue to bring 3D technology into the mainstream, our goal is to make it more accessible to filmmakers and consumers alike," said Peter Reiner, senior vice president, marketing, LG Electronics USA. "LG is proud to partner with Tribeca Flashpoint Academy to help tomorrow's filmmakers hone their 3D skills, and in turn to help satisfy the growing desire for 3D content for consumers to enjoy.

"LG Cinema 3D is preferred by consumers 3 to 1 over conventional 3D TVs, so the film festival is the perfect venue to showcase these terrific shorts produced by Tribeca Flashpoint Academy students and underscore the excitement about 3D TV," he said.

"We are so grateful to LG for helping us continue to exclusively provide our students with advance, hands-on access to the latest and greatest new technologies," said Howard Tullman, CEO of Tribeca Flashpoint Academy.

LG Electronics USA, as the official HDTV sponsor of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, has installed more than 50 LG Cinema 3D HDTVs and a host of Blu-Ray disc players in movie theaters, box offices and special event locations throughout lower Manhattan during the 12-day festival. These screens will show content promoting the Festival, TFF Films, and movie schedules.

CTIA-The Wireless Association® Statement on Today's White House Forum

WASHINGTON, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Here is a statement from CTIA-The Wireless Association in response to the White House's "Spectrum Auctions: Unlocking the Innovative Potential of Wireless Broadband" Forum:

(Logo: https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100629/DC28223LOGO-a) 

"Today's White House forum with FCC Chairman Genachowski, Austan Goolsbee and Jason Furman was an important session that continued to highlight the many benefits that wireless broadband currently provides and will offer in the future. There is no question that the ability to access the Internet at anytime and anywhere is beneficial for everyone, whether it's to remotely monitor a patient's health or manage a fleet of school buses.

"The forum participants and the letter from 112 economists explained that there are significant economic benefits that will flow from adoption of incentive auction legislation and reallocation of spectrum from lower value broadcast use to higher value mobile broadband use.

"Despite today's challenging economic conditions, a broadcast incentive auction for underused or unused spectrum could generate more than $30 billion for the U.S. Treasury. Once this spectrum is auctioned, it will fuel the 'virtuous cycle' of innovation and competition that Americans have come to expect from our industry, which provides them with the best wireless products and services.

"We appreciate the leadership of the White House, the FCC Chairman and other policymakers who are working hard to secure more spectrum for our industry. Let's move quickly to get this spectrum to auction so the wireless industry can continue to lead the world in innovation." 

CTIA-The Wireless Association® (http://www.ctia.org) is an international organization representing the wireless communications industry. Membership in the association includes wireless carriers and their suppliers, as well as providers and manufacturers of wireless data services and products. CTIA advocates on behalf of its members at all levels of government. The association also coordinates the industry's voluntary best practices and initiatives, and sponsors the industry's leading wireless tradeshows.

Roche Diabetes Care in the U.S. Turns to Social Media to Promote Diabetes Education, Awareness and Advocacy

INDIANAPOLIS, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Roche Diabetes Care, makers of ACCU-CHEK® products and services, has launched dedicated Facebook and Twitter accounts to promote diabetes education, awareness and advocacy. The company has also expanded its current Diabetes Link blog from Canada to North America.

Roche Diabetes Care's Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/AccuChekUS) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/accuchek_us) accounts have been created with one goal in mind: help people with diabetes, as well as the friends and families who support them, learn more about how to live healthy lives while successfully managing their diabetes. Roche chose the ACCU-CHEK name for its Facebook and Twitter accounts to help its diabetes customers - most of whom know the company's products only by their brand names - more easily find these new social media tools.

The company also reworked its highly successful blog, Diabetes Link (http://www.accu-chekdiabeteslink.com), to benefit audiences in both Canada and the United States. Diabetes Link was launched in October 2009.

"Living with diabetes is hard, and the many misconceptions, assumptions and half-truths out there don't make it any easier," said Todd Siesky, public relations and social media manager for Roche Diabetes Care in the United States. "There are a great number of diabetes advocates online who are already doing an outstanding job of education and advocacy work on behalf of people living with diabetes. We hope to amplify their voices as well as highlight issues important to everyone in the diabetes online community."

A partial list of some of the most influential diabetes online writers can be found at Diabetes Link (http://www.accu-chekdiabeteslink.com) under the headline "What We're Reading." Roche has been working with many of these writers for the past two years to better understand how it can support online education, advocacy and awareness issues important to them.

In addition to following @accuchek_us on Twitter and liking Roche's diabetes Facebook page at AccuChekUS, people interested in diabetes are also encouraged to sign up for the latest postings from the Diabetes Link at http://www.accu-chekdiabeteslink.com.

AT&T Building Most Advanced Mobile Broadband Experience in Raleigh, Announces 2011 Network Upgrade Plans

AT&T to Expand Backhaul in 2011 in Raleigh to Enable 4G Speeds, Increase Mobile Broadband Capacity, Upgrade Hundreds of Cell Sites

RALEIGH, N.C., April 6,  2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T*, building on its strong 2010 record of network accomplishments, today announced network improvement plans designed to enable 4G speeds** and enhanced reliability to Raleigh and surrounding communities in 2011. The wireless network enhancement plans are part of AT&T's planned $19-billion investment in its U.S. wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.

Walter Wells, AT&T's external affairs regional director in Raleigh, says AT&T plans the following network improvements in the Raleigh area in 2011:

    --  Replacing more than 230 antennas at 52 cell sites, across Raleigh and
        along major highways, to enhance voice quality, reduce dropped calls and
        deliver more efficient, consistent mobile broadband speeds.
    --  Delivering additional wireless capacity to more than 165 cell towers in
        Raleigh area through the addition of new layers of frequency, also known
        as "carriers," to more efficiently manage available spectrum and
        increase mobile broadband capacity at local cell sites.
    --  Deploying enhanced backhaul connections to over 340 more cell sites to
        enable 4G speeds in Raleigh.
    --  Installing more than 20 additional cells in Raleigh.
    --  Deploying Distributed Antenna System (DAS) networks at multiple venues
        to enhance network coverage during events.

"Our story is getting even better for Raleigh and North Carolina," Wells said. "Our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA represents a great deal for customers and a major commitment to strengthen and expand our network. In fact, this deal, if approved, means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to 95 percent."

Wells also highlighted that AT&T invested more than $240 million in its Raleigh wireless and wireline network from 2008 through 2010 as part of its commitment to superior service in the area:

    --  Installing roughly 35 new cell sites.
    --  Upgrading approximately 90 cell sites to mobile broadband.
    --  Adding additional spectrum carriers to over 130 cell sites.
    --  Deploying DAS networks at multiple venues.

Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker said AT&T's significant investment to improve its network will further bolster Raleigh's reputation as a great place to live and work.

"High-tech expansions like this one help our business community, our local economy and our overall quality of life," Meeker said. "Few businesses today are more competitive than the wireless industry. That level of competition results in investment and new technology, which delivers benefits to the entire community."

The nation's fastest mobile broadband network is getting faster with 4G. A key planned upgrade for 2011 is deployment of enhanced backhaul connections to more than 340 cell sites in Raleigh to enable 4G speeds. Backhaul connections carry traffic between cell sites and AT&T's nationwide network. Enhanced fiber-optic and ethernet backhaul connections expand capacity many times over, and enable additional expansion in the years to come.

"We're investing in our Raleigh network to help AT&T customers take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," said Alison Hall, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in North Carolina and South Carolina. "This year, we're committed to providing best-in-class wireless voice service to our customers, and we're backing that up with the right investments."

AT&T's advanced network provides several important advantages for customers. AT&T's mobile-broadband network provides customers with the ability to talk and surf at the same time. For instance, you can look up directions to an event while staying on the phone with your boss, or browse your favorite social media sites while chatting with a friend. AT&T's mobile broadband network also is up to 35 percent faster than our largest competitor's CDMA-only network on average nationally.

AT&T also provides access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries. AT&T's largest competitor's CDMA-based devices work in fewer than 45 countries. Business Traveler magazine recently named AT&T as having the "Best Mobile Coverage in the World" - the fourth time AT&T has received the distinction.

AT&T's focus is delivering the nation's most advanced mobile broadband experience, which includes delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience. At the same time, AT&T offers a wide-ranging portfolio of smartphones and devices, with 20 4G devices planned for 2011, including a robust Android lineup. And we're driving development of wide-ranging mobile applications with three AT&T Foundry collaborative innovation centers planned for this year, as well as leadership in multiple initiatives to provide new tools for apps developers.

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and access to more than 135,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly data plans.

For more information about AT&T's coverage in Raleigh or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer. Using the online tool, AT&T customers can measure coverage quality from a street address, intersection, ZIP code or even a landmark.

Via Roku, Classical TV Brings Free, High-Quality, Full-Length Performing Arts Programming to an Additional 1,000,000+ Households

NEW YORK, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Classical TV, the premier destination for the best performing arts online, announced today the launch of Classical TV's free performing arts channel on Roku.  Via Roku-- which seamlessly connects consumers' TVs with their wireless internet-- the Classical TV channel offers a rotating selection of its free, high-quality, full-length videos in seven categories:  "All-Time Favorites," "Classical Music," "Jazz," "Great Pianists," "Operas, Songs, and Arias," "Popular Music," and "Cultural Excursions."

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090414/NY96055LOGO-b )

Classical TV joins other top entertainment brands on Roku, including Netflix, NBA, NHL, Pandora, HuluPlus, Amazon Instant Video, and C-Net.

"We're excited to expand the reach of our programming and thrilled to be part of Roku's growing platform," said Derek Nelson, Classical TV's Chief Operations Officer.  "While our website, classicaltv.com, continues to grow, our new Roku channel helps us fulfill the strong demand for high-quality cultural programming that we've proved is out there."  Other partnerships are also in the works to syndicate Classical TV's unique collection of performing arts videos.

Launched in 2002, Roku is a market leader in streaming entertainment.  The Roku box, available for purchase from $59.99, gives access to movies, TV shows, sporting events, and more--for free, via subscription or pay per view.  For more on Roku, see http://www.roku.com

BACKGROUND ON CLASSICAL TV

"The performing arts website many of us have been dreaming of..." --James Wolcott, VanityFair.com

Classical TV launched in July, 2009 at http://www.classicaltv.com with a free streaming of the Salzburg Festival Opening Night Gala.  Founded by Emmy Award-winning producer/director Chris Hunt, who also created Online Classics, Classical TV currently encompasses over 1100 hours of high-quality performing arts video programs, available largely for free.  New programs are added regularly.  Among the pay-per-view offerings are the Metropolitan Opera's acclaimed hi-def productions.

Classical TV's library of programs encompasses not only opera but symphonic and chamber music, ballet and modern dance, jazz and pop music, theater and musicals, and documentaries.  These include performances from the world's most prestigious stages such as St. Petersburg's Mariinsky (Kirov) Theater, London's Royal Albert Hall, Paris's Theatre du Chatelet, and many others.  Artists featured include Placido Domingo, Renee Fleming, Nina Simone, Luciano Pavarotti, Anna Netrebko, Roberto Alagna, Quincy Jones, Carlos Acosta, Martha Argerich, Johnny Cash, Pierre Boulez, and many more.

CLASSICAL TV OFFERS GREAT VIDEOS PLUS GREAT COMMENTARY

Classical TV also offers a wealth of lively and informative exclusive editorial content including feature articles, topical playlists, insider columns, series, and cultural news that give fresh insights into the world of classical performance and context for Classical TV's vast library.  Classical TV's roster of commentators includes some of the most respected cultural journalists including Claudia La Rocco, Vivien Schweitzer, Chris Kompanek, Damian Fowler, and Robert J. Hughes.  Current series include "Glories of the Classical Style," "Music-- The Universal Language," and "Mondays With Merce."

"CLASSICAL TV brings 'performance on demand' to a new level, taking high-brow art events out of stuffy halls and streaming them directly to your computer." --Flavorpill

CLASSICAL TV'S PERFORMING ARTS VIDEOS DRAW A SURPRISINGLY YOUNG AUDIENCE

In the almost two years since launching, Classical TV has built a conspicuously young audience:

    --  20.6%   are 18-to-24 years old
    --  51.2%   are 18-to-34 years old--more than half!
    --  79.6%   are  18-to-49 years old

In addition, Classical TV is "sticky."  Viewers spend at least of three times longer, on average, watching Classical TV programs than they do any other long-form streamed video programs online.  The audience was measured with Microsoft Analytics.

"We're helping reshape the demographic of classical audiences," said Classical TV's Content Director Stephen Greco.  "We've made it easier for everyone, including younger people, to engage with classical performances.  Of course, we have a secure base of mature culture lovers, but we're delighted that many younger viewers are watching, say, La Boheme, here for the first time and then coming back for more."

Greco is a former editor of Stagebill, 7 Days, and Interview magazines.

New Low-Cost Thermocouple Transmitters Feature Fast and Easy PC-based Configuration via USB

Acromag expands their line of USB-configured head-mount temperature transmitters by releasing new thermocouple/millivolt input models with very high accuracy, linearity, and environmental stability

WIXOM, Mich., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest offering in Acromag's new ST130 series of low-cost, temperature transmitters is a thermocouple/millivolt signal conditioner, Model ST132. This model can convert sensor input signals from eight thermocouple types or a plus or minus 100mV range and output a proportional 4-20mA process control signal. The ST132 is an output loop-powered (7-32V DC) two-wire transmitter and very easy to use. Free Windows configuration software simplifies set up and downloads calibration settings to the unit through a USB connection. Units mount easily in DIN Form B sensor heads or on a DIN rail. The rugged, low-maintenance design also features a 24-bit A/D controller that delivers high accuracy and linearity with very low drift across a -40 to 80 degrees C operating range. Units are CE compliant with UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 Zone 2 approvals pending. Despite the advanced-performance and features, the ST132 lists for only $89.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110406/DE77883 )

"Our new ST132 thermocouple transmitter offers great performance and convenience at a surprising price," states Don Lupo, Acromag's sales and marketing director. By leveraging the latest microcontroller technology, this transmitter is able to provide a performance level and feature set that was previously unavailable in a unit of this size and price. In addition to supporting numerous sensor types on a single unit, the ST132 performs signal linearization, and cold-junction compensation functions. It also supports reverse-acting (inverse) output and has a fast response time (as low as 8ms). The Windows configuration software helps you quickly program the transmitter using a USB cable connection to select input type, scale I/O ranges, set filtering levels, and choose upscale or downscale operation for sensor faults. Digital calibration eliminates zero/span pots, DIP switches, and pushbuttons for more precise measurements.

A rugged design helps these transmitters operate reliably in harsh industrial environments. Ambient temperature drift is less than 75ppm/degrees C for long-term stability. The ST132 is shock (50g) and vibration (5g) resistant and includes high-level electrical noise immunity (RFI, EMI, ESD, EFT, and surge protection). And to prevent incorrect wiring, the output/power connection is non-polarized.

For easy installation, Acromag sells a variety of mounting and wiring accessories. A USB-to-USB isolator protects equipment from ground loops, electrical noise, and surges during configuration. For convenience, a kit supplies the software, isolator, and USB interface cables. Numerous connection head enclosures are also available through Acromag. Select from stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron housings with explosion-proof or general-purpose ratings. A DIN rail adapter adds more mounting options.

Acromag has designed and manufactured measurement and control products for more than 50 years. They are an AS9100 and ISO 9001-certified international corporation with a world headquarters near Detroit, Michigan and a global network of sales representatives and distributors.

New Social Website Pushes Americans Green Through Peer Pressure and Savings

PushingGreen.com gains major momentum

CARLSBAD, Calif., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousands of Americans across the country are challenging each other to go Green on a new social website called Pushing Green (http://www.pushinggreen.com).   They're competing with each other to see who can reduce their energy use and save money by taking hundreds of actions, from using the most energy efficient light bulbs to installing solar panels. 

The competition concept is already making a huge impact.  Formally launched just three weeks ago, the site has almost 3,000 households engaged and 20,000 Facebook fans, launched this summer.

Pushing Green was developed by young entrepreneurs intent on ensuring a healthy planet for their children, but who recognized that homeowners would only adopt a green lifestyle if they were directly challenged or embarrassed enough to want to keep up with their neighbors.

"We challenged ourselves to be realistic. Will people go green just to help save the environment?  Unfortunately, the answer is no," says Pushing Green founder, Shaun Collopy.  "People don't act because they think it's too expensive, too hard to do and they don't know where to go for information.  We give them what they need to get things done, plus a powerful financial incentive - saving money."

Pushing Green calculates how much people can save by going green and helps them get there by providing the tools: a list of simple ways to go green; information about locally available products and vendors; and real people relating their own stories and tips.

The site also makes it fun.  People compete to achieve the Greenest rating in their area and win an entire month free of energy bills.  To win, players must complete challenges and bring people on board to boost their green rating.  So, lower your water heater's temperature by 10 degrees?   You get x points and watch your house get greener and greener on the site's unique map.

That's where the social media component comes in:  Players share advice and experiences.   "It's like talking to your neighbor over the back fence about what kind of insulation to use to help lower your heating bill, except that the conversation happens online," Collopy explained.  "We believe that putting money in their pockets and feeding their need to keep up with the Joneses - in a fun way - will drive them to take action and Push Green. This is a game, but one with little more at stake if we lose."

About Pushing Green (http://www.pushinggreen.com)

Pushing Green(TM) is an online community and resource providing households with local information on green products, contractors, and other ways of lowering energy costs. Along with challenges, the site provides a visual view of the competition through an interactive map pinpointing a player's home and green rating; community forums for online chatting; a news page with stories on green people; and a products page that explains how energy efficient systems, installations, appliances and other goods work, and where to find them. Simple. Sustainable. Savings.

Monitoring Networks On-the-Go With New PRTGdroid App

Paessler Releases its first Android app which connects to your PRTG Network Monitor; Makes Network Monitoring Faster and More Convenient

LOS ANGELES and NUREMBERG, Germany, April 6, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Paessler AG, the innovative network monitoring solutions specialist, today announced the release of PRTGdroid, the Android application for its PRTG Network Monitor solution. The new app enables users of Android phones or tablets to keep an eye on their network anytime, from anywhere. The recently released version 8.3 of Paessler's PRTG Network Monitor software includes the ability to work with the Android app to make the work of the IT administrator even more independent from their desk.

"Our new PRTGdroid app is like a personal network monitoring assistant for your PRTG Network Monitor software," said Dirk Paessler, CEO of Paessler AG. "With mobile network monitoring, network administrators can maintain optimum network status and manage network events from wherever they are, even while they're travelling. Alarms are displayed directly in the phone's notification area and users can even view live data and change the monitoring status of various network sensors easily, right from their phone."

PRTGdroid is available now as a free download from Android Market. PRTGdroid connects to existing PRTG servers via HTTPS or HTTP over the mobile network, WiFi or VPN to provide at-a-glance access to detailed network status information. The app supports checking multiple accounts in the background and can alert using sound and/or vibration when out-of-compliance events occur in any of the configured accounts. The user can switch easily between different accounts without re-typing login data.

"We received a lot of positive feedback about our mobile app for the iPhone, and now Android users can enjoy mobile network monitoring on their devices as well," Paessler said. "Now network administrators have the freedom to step away from the office--for business travel, after hours or over the weekend--without the constant worry of network failures or other events calling them back to the office."

Monitoring data and alarm details are displayed on the Android phone or tablet with PRTG's built-in 'Mini HTML' interface, which is optimized for small displays and low bandwidth. Detailed lists, graphs, and status overviews are available within this interface. For a quick checkup, PRTGdroid users can access any sensor on the network for an on-demand status update.

The capability to check multiple PRTG installations with a single app also makes PRTGdroid ideal for ISPs, MSPs, larger PRTG deployments and enterprise systems.

PRTGdroid is compatible with all Android based smartphones or tablets using OS 2.1 or later and requires PRTG Network Monitor v8.3 or later, as well as accessibility to the PRTG web interface over 3G, EDGE, GPRS, WiFi/wirelessLAN or VPN.

Estonia's Certification Authority, AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus, Adopts Safelayer's PKI Technology

BARCELONA, Spain, April 6, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Safelayer Consolidated as a Supplier of eID and eSignature Solutions
for Certification Services Providers (CSPs)

    AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus, Estonia's principal certification
authority and provider of certificates for authentication and digital signing
for the Estonian eID card, has chosen to adopt Safelayer's technology for
implementing public key infrastructure (PKI) services. To modernize its
infrastructure, AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus opted for Safelayer's technology
because of the robustness, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of the software
company's solutions for certification services providers (CSPs).

    AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus (SK) has provided certification and
digital signature services to Estonians since 2001. Its presence extends
throughout the Baltic region, and it has participated in numerous R&D
International projects. Since 2002, SK has issued digital certificates for
the Estonian eID card and worked to develop and foster the implementation of
electronic applications for the card. SK was a pioneer in the creation of
electronic signature verification services (with the deployment of the
DigiDoc service) and in developing identification systems using mobile
devices (Mobile-ID).

    "This project strengthens Safelayer's strategy for major
authentication and eSignature trust management projects requiring solutions
for critical infrastructures, such as those offered by CSPs", says Francisco
Jordan, Safelayer's CEO and cofounder. Safelayer's KeyOne technology-used in
the Spanish eID card (DNIe), the largest eID project of its kind with more
than 21 million cards issued- features infrastructure solutions for eID and
PKI services. The company's solutions are complemented by the TrustedX
product, which implements digital identification and electronic signature
platforms. TrustedX was found to be the most complete technological solution
of its type in the EC's IDABC Programme's study "European Federated
Validation Service", which examined a number of European validation services
and tools.

    According to Kalev Pihl, SK's CEO, "SK is a pioneer in
continuously developing new trust services based on digital certificates and
in assuring the legal validity of the electronic signature. Safelayer offers
one of the most flexible and cost-effective solutions, which is characterized
by its capacity to adopt advances and new technical standards." SK's client
portfolio includes the Estonian court system and notaries, the Estonian
Central Bank and other commercial banks, and law enforcement agencies, which
means its services are used across a range of sectors that require secure
digital identification systems.

    Safelayer is Common Criteria for Information Technology
Security Evaluation certified to EAL4+ (ALC_FLR.2) for its KeyOne and
TrustedX products. EAL4+ certification, which assures an independent and
systematic review of a product's completeness, is the benchmark adopted by
the ICT sector for providing the necessary and sufficient guarantees for
quality and reliability.

    About AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus (SK)

    Sertifitseerimiskeskus (SK) was established in 2001 and is
still owned by Swedbank, SEB Pank, EMT and Elion (EMT and Elion are Estonian
Telecom subsidiaries). Its mission is to provide reliable and widely used eID
on the market. To fulfill its mission, SK provides certification, validity
confirmation and time-stamping services and develops and distributes the
technology for digital signing and authentication. AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus

Lavalife Reveals the Secret to Successful Modern Relationships: Technology

Leading online dating site offers vows for boosting your bond: the electronic "I dos and don'ts"  for keeping your connection secure

TORONTO,April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --In today's busy world, people will do anything to save a minute in the day. They substitute a phone call with an email, swap a face-to-face conversation for a text, even instant-message Mom. In an era where technology is king, it has become the go-to tool for finding a relationship and communicating with mates and loved ones. But techies beware: relying too much on technology can send mixed signals and even sabotage intimacy.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060208/NYWFNS1LOGO )

"In the beginning, everything is great. For those who love technology, there is no better place to find a relationship than online," explains Kim Hughes, Singles and Dating Expert for Lavalife. "And to prove that this is the best place for techies to find love, Lavalife is offering a free subscription for all new U.S. members who sign up now."

According to a recent BBC World poll that surveyed internet users in 19 countries, 1-in-3 are looking for romance online. Once a relationship is formed with a friend or a lover, technology then takes over as the leading method of communication.

"We've reached a point where we can't live without water, food, air and some sort of handheld device," laughs Hughes. "The key is making sure that technology is one method of expression and not the only means of communication."

With this in mind, Lavalife, the expert in building relationships through technology, introduces 10 vows for sustaining your relationship electronically:

Technology "I Dos"

    --  Use an online dating website like Lavalife.com to find love. It allows
        you to search for other singles, be specific about what you are looking
        for and find a date on your own schedule.

    --  Use email or E-letter writing to express yourself. Some of us are not as
        good with words and tend to get tongue-tied, saying the wrong thing at
        the wrong time. If you have something important to say to your mate or
        loved one and can't express it verbally, write it down in an email or
        letter and then discuss their response or reaction in person.

    --  Send brief text messages just to let your mate or friends know that you
        are thinking of them. It's a quick and easy way to make someone feel
        good.

    --  Do use Skype, email, text messaging and any form of technology to keep a
        long-distance relationship alive. Since you are missing the in-person
        connection, relying on technology will help keep the bond.

    --  Use technology to keep people updated on what you are doing. Update your
        Facebook status and page with pictures from your latest adventure. Send
        a quick text to a colleague if you are running late. Email your travel
        schedule to your family before a trip.

Technology "I Don'ts"

    --  Don't put it in print. Couples argue via email or text message at their
        peril. Not only do they lose the human interaction which can help to
        solve the problem but they are putting all of their angry or negative
        feelings into print - allowing them to be revisited and brought up over
        and over again.

    --  Your smartphone should never be the third wheel on your date. Nobody is
        so important that they cannot sit through a date or dinner with friends
        without checking their phone. Try leaving your phone in your pocket or
        purse until the end of the evening. You may be surprised at how good it
        feels to focus on the company you are with.

    --  Save some for the imagination. Oftentimes couples who text each other
        too frequently throughout the day are left with nothing to talk about
        when they return home to each other in the evening. Use texting as a
        teaser for more details to come.

    --  Sending a text after a first date is a wimpy way out. Guys and girls who
        text immediately after a date send mixed signals. For some it is a quick
        way to write off a bad date without guilt; for others it is a way to
        keep the person hanging on, just in case you want to see them again.
        Either way - it leaves things unclear, which can be messy.

    --  Don't dial, email or update when drunk. This goes for sending a work
        email after too many cocktails, updating your Facebook status or texting
        potential lovers. A drunken email or text message never captures exactly
        what you mean and like all technology, once it's out there, you can't
        take it back.

Pixable Brings Its Photofeed App to the iPhone

Photofeed app brings elegant discovery and engagement to social photos via the iPhone; allows viewers to get in, get out, and get on with their lives

NEW YORK, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixable (http://www.pixable.com), the leader in online photo aggregation, has announced the release of its Photofeed app for the iPhone. This app allows people to easily discover, view, and interact with the millions of photos on the most popular photo networks - from the comfort and mobility of their iPhone.

Photofeed for the iPhone aggregates photos from Facebook, Flickr and Instagram - just as it has done for its popular Facebook and iPad apps. Images are organized into categories such as "Popular Photos of the Week," "Popular Photos of the Day," "New Profile Pics," "Top Instagram Photos" and "Top Flickr Photos." iPhone's push notifications alert users whenever their friends post new photo activity. The notifications let them quickly "get in and get out," and they never miss a picture.

Photofeed for the iPhone requires no new social networks to be built, no location to be set, and no new "friending" to get started. It's the only photo sharing app that gives users instant access to hundreds of thousands of photos they care about when they log in for the first time.

"Today, everything is mobile, but people spend so much time with their heads buried in their phones," said Inaki Berenguer, CEO, Pixable. "People want quick access to photos, and the ability to quickly comment, like, or share them. We've focused on making the Pixable iPhone app about getting in, getting out, and getting on with your life."

The heart of Pixable Photofeed is its WonderRank (patent pending) technology, which analyzes dozens of variables associated with a Facebook account, to act as a personal "photobot" scouring Facebook for the photos that users will find most interesting. This targeted experience is enhanced by the ability to "follow" friends, and receive notifications when they comment on, are tagged in, or upload new photos. This is key for anyone looking to keep up with happenings in their social circle like parties, weddings, newborn babies, or travel adventures.

Pixable Photofeed launched in January 2011 in public beta as a free app available to all Facebook users. Since then, Photofeed has sorted and ranked over 10 billion photos for more than 300,000 users and added versions for the iPad and iPhone. Pixable helps its users aggregate and organize photos from a variety photo sharing sites across their networks, with plans to add more photo sources in the future.

To access Pixable Photofeed for the iPhone, check out the itunes store or go to http://www.pixable.com/iphone.

ABOUT PIXABLE

Founded in 2009 by three MIT graduates, New York-based Pixable has already enabled over a million users to manage and enjoy their online photos, and was the first online photo service to allow users to print their Facebook photos. It is now the best destination to browse, search, and enjoy photos on social networks. The company has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, Newsweek and CNN, and has been highlighted as one of the coolest companies to work for by Time Out Magazine.
