The ISA and Hostile Helghast Return for Another Epic Battle in Killzone® 3, the Definitive Sci-Fi Shooter Available Exclusively On the PlayStation®3 (PS3®) System

Killzone® 3 Raises the Bar With New Weapons, Vehicles, and Environments, Including Stereoscopic 3D and PlayStation® Move Compatibility

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) today announced the release of Killzone® 3, the latest title in the storied Killzone® franchise.  Developed by Guerrilla Games, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment, Killzone 3 puts players in the midst of an epic battle between warring Helghast factions, all in the fight for human survival.  Killzone 3 delivers a brutal and futuristic first-person shooter with an immersive single-player campaign, intense multiplayer action, and full stereoscopic 3D compatibility along with PlayStation Move functionality.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020701/SFM066LOGO)

"Killzone 3 brings the most explosive action yet, truly delivering the definitive cinematic sci-fi war experience to fans," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Product Marketing, SCEA.  "This title has raised the bar in first person shooters by introducing new weapons and vehicles with varied environments, all tied together in a gripping story of human survival.  With the addition of Stereoscopic 3D and PlayStation Move, this is a game that will not disappoint fans."

In Killzone 3, players find themselves in the midst of a battle for human survival.  The story begins where the story Killzone® 2 left off with Visari, the vicious Helghast dictator, lying dead at the feet of ISA soldiers Sev and Rico. However this war is far from won.  In the wake of Visari's death, Helghan has devolved into a world of political scheming, rapid infighting, and murder.  Now, the two most powerful men on Helghan are fighting for complete and utter dominance while Visari's vision of Helghan is in jeopardy.

With limited supplies and no re-enforcements, the ISA must now fight not to win a war, but to survive a lost one.

The ISA is strengthened by a host of new weapons and vehicles in the war to stop the Helghast, including the WASP missile launcher, aerial combat with jet packs, and intense gunfights on Intruders.  The landscape and terrain encountered is diverse, with noticeably detailed scenery - including nuclear wastelands, alien jungles, and arctic vistas.  Players can also now engage in a new Brutal Melee system and deliver a variety of close-quarters attacks to finish off enemies.

Timed with the launch of Killzone 3 is the new PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter, a peripheral that transforms the PlayStation Move motion controller into a sleek assault rifle.  Developed with input from game design experts at Guerrilla Games, the Sharp Shooter allows gamers to enjoy a new way to engage in the action.  Pairing the sharp shooter with the ability to engage in Stereoscopic 3D, players will enjoy one of the most truly immersive gameplay experiences available.

Designer Johan Lindeberg Launches New Contemporary Luxury Brand 'BLK DNM' Online Only

BLK DNM Opens with Innovative Online Flagship Store BLKDNM.com

NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Coming on the heels of NY Fashion Week, designer and fashion industry veteran, Johan Lindeberg, has announced his latest venture with the launch of his new label BLK DNM. The launch of BLKDNM.com was celebrated with an exclusive premiere of Film 1 directed by Martin De Thurah.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110222/CG51774)

Lindeberg designed BLK DNM for a new generation of independent consumers, therefore establishing the brand's flagship store online. His innovative approach allows consumers to bypass retailers and purchase directly from the brand, providing consumers a clear 30%-40% price advantage by cutting out wholesale entirely.

BLK DNM cements itself as a digital native by housing and presenting shoppers with a rare retail experience with interactive video content. BLK DNM's significant presence in the digital world creates an online community that becomes a part of the brand and engages consumers through unique social media initiatives.

"We are in the midst of a new era of fashion, where consumers are much savvier and we as designers must cater to the more conscious consumer," said BLK DNM Creative Director Johan Lindeberg. "BLK DNM was created with the consumer in mind, from how we bring our collection to them through our online interactive flagship store, to the fit and the detailing of our pieces."

Setting BLK DNM apart from most fashion labels, the brand defies the convention of releasing collections in seasons and offers a constant interjection of new pieces throughout the year. The women and men's collection features a modern take on classic denim, leather, outerwear, knitwear, and tailoring designed with rich fabrics including leathers, twills, cottons, wool and cashmere. BLK DNM maintains an understated yet sophisticated color palette including bottle green, military green, charcoal gray, navy blue, white and black.

Key pieces from the women's collection include fitted jeans, fine leather jackets, silk military shirts with epaulettes, tailored two-button wool gabardine blazers, military twill jackets, tailored front slit pocket pants, staple melange t-shirts and tanks, cashmere cardigans with leather elbow patches, and a full length skirt with a fluid fishtail train. The men's collection is marked by downtown classic pieces such as a leather biker and a pilot jacket, two-button pinstripe suiting blazer, tailored wool suiting pants, long-sleeved poplin dress shirts, dropped round neck cashmere sweaters, tanks and v-neck t-shirts and five pocket straight leg jeans.

The collection's price points range from $29.00 for tanks and t-shirts and approximately $129.00 and $149.00 for jeans, to $2,295 for a luxurious suede shearling wool cape. BLK DNM offers free shipping from its online store within the US and free returns for one year from the point of purchase.

This spring, BLK DNM is set to open its first store, GALLERI 1, in downtown New York. GALLERI 1 is infused with digital retail innovation that allows a seamless dynamic with eCommerce, where customers can purchase pieces in store, or have it shipped home (worldwide) instantly through an in-store online purchase. GALLERI 1 will be located at 140 Grand Street, New York.

ABOUT JOHAN LINDEBERG

The founder and creative director of BLK DNM, Lindeberg has longstanding experience in building international brands. He served as the CEO for North America and Marketing Director of Diesel during his tenure with the brand from 1990-1996. Upon his exit, Mr. Lindeberg founded J. Lindeberg in 1996 and served as Creative Director until 2007. Johan then served as Creative Director for menswear at William Rast from 2007-2009. In addition to his other projects, from 2007-2010 he devised branding strategies for major lifestyle brands under PARIS68.

TOKYO, Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EitaroSoft, Inc.* announced on Feb. 22 that the company and The9 Limited* have concluded a license agreement to jointly deploy in the Chinese market a smartphone version of EitaroSoft's "Galaxy Frontier,"* which has become the first Japanese mobile 3D Action MMORPG, currently in service at two media sites -- "esgames" (http://esgm.jp/pc/ ) operated by EitaroSoft and the "docomo market" operated by Japan's largest mobile carrier NTT DOCOMO.

In China, there is already an enormous online game market consisting of more than 2 million game players. The9 has started to focus its business on this promising smartphone entertainment market in China ahead of other companies. For instance, the Chinese firm has been licensed deploy in China "OpenFeint," well known worldwide as a game platform or SDK for smartphones.

EitaroSoft is willing to play a part in familiarizing Chinese smartphone users with online games through this 3D mobile Action MMORPG Galaxy Frontier, which has kept the first place in "the most downloaded application" ranking in the Roll Playing Game category of the docomo market (ranked 1st place out of 155 apps as of Feb. 14, 2011) since Dec. 1, 2010. 

Hereafter, EitaroSoft is getting into full swing in its bid to target the global smartphone market starting with Japan and China, followed by South Korea, the USA and other markets.

About The9 Limited

The9 Limited (NASDAQ: NCTY) is the leading online game developer and operator in China. The9's business is primarily focused on developing and operating high-quality games for the online, web, social and mobile game markets. The9 also introduced OpenFeint into China and works with major telecom carriers to publish quality mobile games in domestic app stores.

About Galaxy Frontier 

Galaxy Frontier is the latest RPG title developed by EitaroSoft, which has released many big titles ever since its establishment. Especially this Galaxy Frontier has overcome the generally considered difficulties relating to developing "Action RPGs" on the mobile phone, and this achievement brought users more enjoyable online party play with other players such as the strategic defense and offense action versus the enemy. The development team is the one that developed the massively popular "Master of Fantasia" game downloaded by more than a million users. So this Galaxy Frontier can be called a most sophisticated piece in action and story nature.

Generally speaking, online games have the image that only the core game players enjoy them because a game consumes a long time to clear. But this new game has adopted a "fatigue conceptualized system" that nowadays is often utilized for social games, making it more enjoyable even for light users who prefer to have fun from games only when they have spare time. The game's story line is profound, developing in the stage of 8 planets in the universe, with a future human race fighting for its survival against the giant mechanized invader weapon "Sheol."

Life Saving App: West Penn Allegheny Health System Creates First-of-Its-Kind Smart Phone Application for Emergency Medical Services Professionals

One Touch Can Expedite Dispatch of Medical Helicopter, Among Other Unique Features

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The revolution of smart phone technology has literally put the world in the palm of one's hand.  With a swift touch of the finger, smart phone users can access just about anything or anyone in the blink of an eye. But can the technology help save lives?  Emergency medical specialists at the West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS) in Pittsburgh think it can, and today they will introduce a first-of-its-kind smart phone application developed specifically for that purpose.

Called the EMS Field Partner and designed for use by emergency medical services (EMS) professionals and other first responders, the app is now available free of charge through the Apple Store. It was conceptualized by EMS professionals at WPAHS and developed by Ritter Technologies of Dingolfing, Germany.

Among its various unique capabilities, the new app features a patient triage system in which users can select from a variety of emergency conditions or complaints - such as chest pain, stroke symptoms or  fall injury, etc. - and be directed to the closest WPAHS hospital that is most qualified to treat the patient.

The app connects EMS professionals to all of West Penn Allegheny's hospital emergency department medical command physicians around the clock, and through an interface with Google maps, provides not only directions to the System's hospitals, but up to the minute traffic information as well.

A direct link to West Penn Allegheny's LifeFlight Command Center also allows users to more swiftly summon a medical helicopter.  The app's built in global positioning system provides LifeFlight dispatchers with the exact location of the EMS crew.   

It all adds up to helping first responders provide more expeditious and effective care for their patients, said Thomas Campbell, MD, Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at WPAHS. 

"Innovative smart phone applications are being pioneered almost daily as organizations and businesses strive to be leaders in their respective markets. It occurred to us that if any industry could truly benefit from this technology it's the field of emergency medical care, where timely information and interaction between healthcare professionals can be the difference between life and death for someone who has suffered a health emergency," Dr. Campbell said.

Although most fully functional when used on the iPhone, the EMS Field Partner app is also highly compatible with the iPod touch and iPad devices.  Certain functions of the EMS Field Partner will require registration to verify appropriate EMS certification or licensure.  Registration is also free and takes less than one minute.

West Penn Allegheny officials say plans for future enhancements to the app are already underway. 

"As the technology advances, we will continue to incorporate new elements into the product.  The possibilities are really exciting looking into the future," said Jeff Polana, Director, Pre-Hospital Operations at Alle-Kiski Medical Center.  Mr. Polana conceptualized the EMS Field Partner app last year after meeting representatives from Ritter Technology at a conference. 

Among other current components of the app include detailed information about each WPAHS hospital and important staff contact information, access to West Penn Allegheny's calendar of education programs and events for the EMS community and updated, easily accessible Pennsylvania advanced life support and basic life support protocols.

National Instruments Delivers Industry-Leading RF Performance in PXI Form Factor

New PXI RF Vector Signal Analyzer's Performance Surpasses Traditional Rack-and-Stack Instrumentation

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today introduced the NI PXIe-5665, a 3.6 GHz RF vector signal analyzer (VSA) that delivers best-in-class RF performance in a cost-effective PXI form factor. The new VSA features industry-leading phase noise, average noise level, amplitude accuracy and dynamic range. The VSA's PXI platform also facilitates peer-to-peer streaming; includes a flexible multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) architecture for phase-coherent measurements; and offers measurement speeds that are at least five times faster than traditional rack-and-stack instruments - all of which make it ideal for demanding automated RF test applications.

"Not only is the NI PXIe-5665 VSA the highest performing instrument in its class, but it is available at a fraction of the cost of traditional rack-and-stack instruments," said Phil Hester, senior vice president of research and development at National Instruments. "Because our new PXI RF analyzer combines high-end performance with modular flexibility into one compact, affordable package, engineers now can use the same instrument from design to production."

The VSA combines the new NI PXIe-5603 downconverter with the new NI PXIe-5653 local oscillator synthesizer and the NI PXIe-5622, a 150 MS/s intermediate frequency (IF) digitizer. This combination creates an ideal solution for spectrum and wideband vector signal measurements over a frequency range from 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz with analysis bandwidths up to 50 MHz. The new VSA features an exceptionally low phase noise of -129 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset at 800 MHz, an average noise level of -165 dBm/Hz, a third-order intercept point of +24 dBm and absolute amplitude accuracy of +/-0.10 dB. These specifications make the NI PXIe-5665 the highest performing instrument in its class.

For modulated signal analysis, the VSA's unique onboard self-calibration tool makes it possible to achieve an IF amplitude response of +/-0.15 dB and IF phase linearity of +/-0.1 degree. This accuracy facilitates exceptional error vector magnitude performance of less than 0.21 percent for a 256-QAM signal. The VSA's flexible, modular architecture expands to provide phase-coherent acquisition for MIMO test, as well as a 20 GHz/s scan rate and peer-to-peer streaming for efficient spectrum monitoring. Additionally, engineers can operate the NI PXIe-5665 using its RF list mode function to deterministically step through a user-defined set of RF configurations using internal timing or an external trigger to significantly reduce test time.

Because the NI PXIe-5665 joins a product line of more than 1,500 software-defined PXI modular instruments, engineers can mix and match the VSA with a variety of modules and control an entire automated test system with NI LabVIEW graphical system design software. This makes PXI systems ideal for a multitude of automated test applications.Engineers also can fully take advantage of the VSA's software-defined performance with RF software toolkits for LabVIEW, NI LabWindows(TM)/CVI and .NET to test the latest RF and wireless communication standards including GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, LTE, WLAN and WiMAX.

Philips and Microsoft Collaborate to Streamline Radiology Workflow and Processes

Ability to connect solutions empowers radiologists with a complete view of patient data from across the healthcare enterprise.

ANDOVER, Mass. and REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips Electronics NV (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced the companies will collaborate to streamline the workflow of radiologists as they seek to build and understand the complete clinical context of a patient. The collaboration builds upon the companies' existing commitment to work together to connect technologies that will help yield faster delivery of meaningful health information, improve healthcare efficiency and productivity, and reduce development and infrastructure costs.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

The companies will connect Microsoft Amalga, a data aggregation platform, with Philips iSite PACS (picture archiving and communication system) to give radiologists the ability to view a complete set of a patient's data stored across the health enterprise--e.g., admission, discharge and transfer (ADT) data, lab data, pathology reports and medications--alongside the patient's images stored in the iSite PACS system. The ability to view digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM data in one place will reduce the time radiologists currently spend probing separate, disconnected information systems to build a comprehensive view of patient history and allow them to focus more time on case review, analysis and diagnostics.

"Philips and Microsoft have a unique opportunity to give radiologists a new level of insight about the patient while reducing steps in their workflow," said Scott Burkhart, vice president of marketing, Healthcare Informatics North America, for Philips Healthcare. "Interoperability is one of our core strategies, and enabling our iSite PACS and Amalga systems to work together can enhance analytics capabilities, enabling the radiology department to gain a deeper understanding of performance and identify opportunities to improve throughput and efficiency."

"To make strides in healthcare delivery, we need to break down the artificial walls around health data and enable it to flow to the right people at the right time throughout the care process," said Nate McLemore, general manager of business development, Microsoft Health Solutions Group. "Our relationship with Philips is centered on this approach. We're excited to combine the strengths of our technologies to help empower clinicians to drive improvements in the efficiency and quality of care."

Under the agreement signed by the companies, Philips and Microsoft will collaborate to configure, market and sell a connected solution that enables radiologists using the Philips iSite Radiology viewer to make a single click within iSite to access a patient's clinical data aggregated, delivered, and displayed  within Microsoft Amalga. Today, in order to view a patient's labs, medications and other data, a radiologist must start multiple clinical IT applications, log into each one, navigate to the specific patient and then click through multiple screens in each application to build a complete mental picture of the patient's history. With the connected solution, Microsoft Amalga will aggregate patient data from the hospital's multiple IT systems and deliver a unified view to the radiologist, eliminating the need to navigate separate applications.

Microsoft Amalga aggregates health data across disconnected systems in the health enterprise and empowers users to analyze and explore context-rich information about their patients or departments, on demand. Philips iSite PACS is an image management and distribution solution with unique technology that gives any physician in the enterprise access to full fidelity images within three seconds.

Mobile Music From Verizon Wireless Delivers a New Tune

Updated V CAST Music App Puts Full Songs, Ringtones and Ringback Tones All in One Place for the First Time

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless said today the company has updated its V CAST Music app, enabling Android(TM) smartphone customers to get and enjoy the music they want easily and at lower prices.  For the first time, V CAST Music brings full-track songs, ringtones and ringback tones together in one easy-to-use application.

The new version of V CAST Music, available on Android smartphones running Android 2.1 or higher, lets customers purchase full-track songs in high-quality MP3 format without DRM. 

V CAST Music will now also offer full-track songs for 69 cents, 99 cents or $1.29 per song, which can be downloaded over the air to a smartphone, and then easily moved to a computer or other MP3-compatible device using V CAST Media Manager.

"Verizon Wireless is taking a leap forward with V CAST Music.  We're bringing the different kinds of music people love to have on their phones together in one, easy-to-use application, making it easy for customers to get what they want at lower prices," said Greg Haller, vice president, Consumer Solutions for Verizon Wireless.  "We've added features to V CAST Music that make it simple and more fun to enjoy your favorite music on your phone and with your friends and family."

Using the new V CAST Music, customers will be able to purchase multiple formats of the same song - full track, ringtone and ringback tone - at a discounted price in select bundles.  Customers can easily purchase and manage Jukeboxes of ringback tones that will rotate messages so callers hear different tones each time they call.  V CAST Music now features a wish list, so customers can indicate what music they would like to purchase in the future, a "recommendations" button so they can send music suggestions to friends and family for them to preview or purchase using the app.

V CAST Music comes preloaded on select Android smartphones, and existing customers will be prompted to upgrade the next time they launch the app.  Customers that have phones without V CAST Music on the app screen, can download the new version from the Verizon Channel in the Android Martket(TM).  The app is free to download, but customers must have a data package on their account.  Data and usage charges may apply when browsing, previewing and downloading music.

Analyst's Comment: GSMA Announces World's Leading Mobile Operators Will Introduce NFC Services

MONMOUTH, Wales, February 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     The world's leading mobile network operators have announced today that
they are committed to introducing near field communication (NFC) services in
a number of countries around the world from 2012.

    Sarah Clark, author of 'NFC Business Models' (
http://www.sjb.co.uk/nfc-business-models/) explains what the announcement
means and why the operators have joined together to make the announcement:

    "NFC phones are set to revolutionise the way we decide what products to
buy, where we choose to buy them and how we choose to pay," says Sarah.

    The new NFC phones contain a high security chip known as a secure element
which acts like an electronic version of your wallet and can be used to
replace everything from credit cards and loyalty cards to bus and train
tickets, library cards, door keys, coupons and even cash.

    These chips can be built into mobile phones and other devices by the
manufacturer, they can be integrated into SIM cards issued by mobile networks
to their subscribers and they can be added to existing phones via special
microSD cards or stickers issued by banks and other organisations.

    "Whoever provides a consumer with a secure element can then generate new
revenues by leasing space on the chip to other businesses that also want to
offer next-generation mobile services to their customers," Sarah explains.

    "In the GSMA statement issued today, the mobile operators make it clear
that they plan for NFC services to be delivered using the SIM as the secure
element, placing operators in control of NFC services - and future revenue
streams."

    "The announcement does not necessarily mean, however, that these leading
operators have now found an answer to the need for a business model for the
launch of commercial NFC services," she adds. "Rather, this announcement
signals the operators' realisation that they need to work together in order
to deliver the same global reach that a rival offering from handset
manufacturers and others would provide."

    "Essentially, they are involved in a bid to grab land - and a significant
share of revenues - ahead of expected rival proposals from the likes of
Google and Apple. The move is likely to prove to be good news for consumers
and for businesses such as retailers, transport operators, travel firms,
brands and others looking to take advantage of the arrival of NFC services
since there will be competing offers on the table and that should lead to
lower prices."

    The full announcement from the GSMA is available to view on the
association's website (
http://www.gsmworld.com/newsroom/press-releases/2011/6057.htm).

    About the 'NFC Business Models' research report:

    'NFC Business Models' provides companies looking to benefit from the
arrival of near field communication technology with the information needed to
understand the issues, identify their options and develop a strategy for
success. Further information is available at http://www.sjb.co.uk/models.

Verizon Wireless and Zipit Wireless Debut Two-Way Paging System at HIMSS 2011 Conference

ORLANDO, Fla., BASKING RIDGE, N.J., and GREENVILLE, S.C., Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- From the 2011 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Orlando, Fla., Verizon Wireless and Zipit Wireless, a pioneer in next generation connected platform solutions, today introduced the Zipit® Enterprise Critical Messaging Solution(TM), a two-way paging system available exclusively from Verizon Wireless.  The solution consists of a unique messaging device, a cloud-based hosted environment and a communications infrastructure designed to meet the needs of pager customers including those in the healthcare industry.  The device operates on Verizon Wireless' nationwide 3G network and Wi-Fi networks to provide the broadest possible coverage to ensure that messages get delivered. 

The two-way technology in the device and the communications infrastructure of the solution overcome a limitation with existing pager solutions: the inability to confirm that a message has been sent, delivered to the device and read by the intended recipients.

The Zipit Enterprise Critical Messaging Solution debuts today at the HIMSS conference in Orlando (Booth 931).  Building on the conference's mission to link people, potential and progress, the solution is the next step in connecting platforms and people to create a better healthcare system.  Zipit will begin selling the device in conjunction with custom pricing from Verizon Wireless in the second quarter of 2011. 

"A key difference between existing pager technologies and the Zipit pager replacement system is the Zipit Remote Administration Portal, which provides users with detailed insight into the status of messages and ease of system management of the Zipit Now(TM) devices," said Michael P. Ross, vice president of sales, healthcare for Verizon Wireless.  "We've spent two years alongside Zipit Wireless working with customers to understand their existing pager communication challenges, as well as their current communications requirements, which led to the development of the Zipit connected system purposely built around the customers' needs."

Through the cloud-based system, Zipit Now devices can be updated, grouped and maintained in near real time - without the need to physically reprogram equipment.  Emphasizing reliability, the platform bridges the capabilities of the Verizon Wireless 3G network with customers' existing Wi-Fi networks for flexible connectivity options. 

"Time is critical in the modern healthcare industry, and we saw the potential to develop a technology capable of providing simple, reliable and cost-effective communications for an enterprise workforce," said Frank Greer, chief executive officer and president, Zipit Wireless.  "This new system allows rapid, verifiable communication between multiple parties and through multiple platforms, ensuring that doctors receive the urgent messages they require.  While there have been attempts to provide alternatives to pager systems, no other technology has delivered a solution that is as verifiable, cost-effective, dependable and easy-to-manage."
