HCL Launches ACE (TM) SmartCare(c) Solution at HiMSS

Developed in Collaboration With Orlando Health, ACE SmartCare Helps Providers Deliver Improved, Intelligent, and Impactful Care

ORLANDO, Florida, February 21, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), a leading global IT services provider, today
launched ACTIVE CARE EXCELLENCE (ACE) SmartCare Clinical Decision Support
solution at the HiMSS Conference in Orlando.

    ACE SmartCare is a patient-centered, real time care management
solution that dramatically improves patient care as soon as patients arrive
at the hospital through automated, continuous clinical surveillance and care
measures delivered via alerts to physicians at the point of care. This more
efficient delivery of care and compliance also results in significant savings
for health care provider organizations. Due to recent legislation, healthcare
providers are under tremendous pressure to improve patient-centered care
while also continuously monitoring for evidence-based medicine interventions
and core-measure compliance. ACE SmartCare uses automation to alleviate some
of the pressures providers are up against.

    "ACE SmartCare is a breakthrough Clinical Decision Support solution that
ensures that quality measures are met and evidence-based medicine is
practiced at Orlando Health," said Rick Schooler, CIO of Orlando Health.
"Working with HCL on ACE SmartCare will directly enhance our business by
improving the efficiency and quality of care delivery."

    SmartCare is a highly customizable mobile device-enabled solution
featuring unified messaging through voice, data alerts and notifications
across clinical settings. The ACE Solution Suite utilizes a predictive
analytics model to generate configurable alerts, responses, escalations
mechanisms and dashboards to help Providers maintain compliance. In addition,
a plug in to an EMR clinical IT system through SmartCare improves Providers
timely delivery of care.

    Pradep Nair, Sr. Vice President of the Healthcare Practice at HCL, said,
"With HCL's extensive knowledge in the healthcare space and its continuous
drive to create innovative solutions for its customers, ACESmartCare will
play an important part in transforming the way healthcare professionals work
and provide patient care. Our research and feedback from customers and
prospects affirm that no product or solution in the market helped providers
meet critical measures and compliance requirements, until ACE SmartCare."

    Orlando Health has utilized ACE SmartCare to establish rules, data
surveillance, alerts and accountability to improve the flow of information to
doctors. Specific benefits of ACE SmartCare include:

   
    - A meaningful approach to clinical decision support through proactive
    real-time alerts and messaging at point of care, before patient
    discharge

    - Proactive monitoring of quality measures to ensure no
    opportunities are missed-a prospective rather than retrospective
    approach

Ben Heck Builds High-Speed Can Cooler in a Thirst-Quenching Episode of element14's 'The Ben Heck Show'

CHICAGO, Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- element14, a collaborative social community and electronics store for design engineers and electronics enthusiasts, and modding guru Benjamin J. Heckendorn, a.k.a. Ben Heck, quench DIY thirst with a custom-built, high-speed can cooler in the newest episode of "The Ben Heck Show" airing today.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110221/CG51103)

"The can cooler idea came to me one hot summer day when all I needed to quench my thirst was an ice cold can of pop...or soda as some people call it," said Ben Heck. "With no relief in sight, I dreamed up the instant can cooler project so no one would ever have to face such a colossal dilemma again."

Ben constructs the cooler using a Peltier module that cools objects, an Arduino Nano coupled with an I2C-bus temperature sensor to control the cooling process, and Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) to start and stop the process. He also uses his trusty CNC router to create the final pieces, including an aluminum heat sink that helps pull the heat from a can. Then it's back to Pinball Wars as Ben works on powering up the flippers of his current pinball project.

"In this episode, Ben tackles the age-old nuisance of warm soda in a way only a techie can," said Alisha Mowbray, senior vice president of marketing, element14. "By utilizing accessible tools and some innovative thinking, Ben proves once again that it's possible to create a logical design solution for a problematic situation."

Over the next few months, show fans can visit element14   to register for a chance to win one of Ben's builds featured on the show.

About "The Ben Heck Show"

"The Ben Heck Show" is a bi-weekly online television series aired in English that's dedicated to the science and art of system and hardware modding with a global audience of design engineers, students and electronic enthusiasts. Sponsored exclusively by element14, each episode spotlights Ben's mods of popular electronic devices while educating viewers on the underlying technology powering each project.

SAP Makes Life Easier for Patients and More Efficient for Healthcare Providers Through New Technology

New SAP® Solution Helps Patients Preempt Complications and Actively Improve Wellness and Quality of Care Outside of the Hospital

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- To address the current reactive approaches to treating chronic and post-acute care conditions, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) is launching a new solution. The SAP® Collaborative E-Care Management application connects patients, care providers and their families through medical monitoring software and mobile devices to better manage their health with individualized treatment plans and educational content. The announcement was made at HIMSS11, being held in Orlando, Florida, February 20-24, 2011.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a)

Together with its partner ecosystem, SAP wants to improve the way that care providers manage patients while they are outside of the healthcare system and active in the community. For example, SAP and its partners are integrating glucometers into the SAP solution. As the devices capture clinical data, alerts can be generated in real time to patients via text message or e-mail to prompt them to take the necessary actions. Care providers can also be alerted to patient-specific criteria, such as when a patient's glucose crosses a predetermined level.

With the SAP technology, patients will be able to use mobile devices to track their health status, interact with care providers and monitor how they are progressing on an individualized care plan developed with their care provider. Patients can also take targeted "e-classes" to learn how to better manage their health.

Making Patient and Provider Collaboration Easier

SAP Collaborative E-Care Management makes coordination of care among patients, their healthcare providers and their families easier. The technology allows patients to incorporate wellness, chronic condition management, interim care and post-acute care into their overall healthcare plan from wherever integrated telecommunication capabilities are available. Patients can choose to share information stored in their personal health record (PHR) through the use of an "in community" feature to let providers more seamlessly tailor specific.

The application can interact with medical monitoring devices to automatically capture patient clinical information. Integrated telecommunication capabilities allow  interested parties such as friends and family members to be notified regarding changes in a patient's healthcare status via text messages, e-mail, work list, telephone and video. The application also provides analysis of patient data to help ensure continuous refinement and improved management of care as well as evaluate quality and cost. In addition, patients benefit from e-learning capabilities to supplement education provided in the physician's office, reinforce behavioral changes, and support informed decision-making

To help ensure effective mobile connectivity, SAP has signed a joint marketing agreement with MedApps, of Scottsdale, Arizona. MedApps uses cellular technology and a cloud-based platform to integrate retail health monitors, such as blood pressure monitors and glucose meters, into a cost-effective remote health monitoring solution. Health readings from compatible devices are automatically transmitted to EMR systems for patients and clinicians to easily monitor and review. For patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, access to current and consistent biometric data is essential to maintain health and drive down the cost of crisis care.

"SAP's vision for the healthcare industry is one in which there is tighter coordination of care between patients and their various care providers through the use of smart devices and status monitoring to assist post-acute and chronically ill patients, leading to improved quality and value of care by facilitating behavioral change," said John Papandrea, senior vice president and global health sciences sector head, SAP. "Through our extensive partner ecosystem, we are bringing this vision to reality by using the power of technology to improve patient lifestyles and enable high-quality care to patients outside of the hospital. With this solution, we are harnessing SAP's long and proven history of helping companies run better, and applying that to improving healthcare delivery in order to help people live better."

Microsoft and T-Systems Intensify Their Partnership with a New Hybrid Cloud Solution for Shell

- Shell shows the strength of its key IT supplier partnerships

- Microsoft Cloud and T-Systems extend their Cloud solution offerings

- Shell will buy SharePoint services dynamically via the Internet for its employees worldwide to work together online

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. and FRANKFURT, Germany, Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft and T-Systems are intensifying their strategic cooperation with a new combined offering - 'Dynamic Services for Collaboration.'  Shell will soon be the first to benefit from this development, having commissioned the two suppliers to deliver a tailored SharePoint programme that will enable Shell employees to collaborate in the virtual world.  Now that the pre-deployment of Microsoft's BPOS for this programme is complete, the first release has been scheduled for Shell users in April 2011.

Jay Crotts, Shell's VP IT Services, recently spoke at Microsoft's Global Energy Forum on the advantages of Cloud computing.  He stated, "For us as a globally operating company, SharePoint is a key instrument for smooth cooperation in projects with decentralized teams.  This joint solution will allow us to appreciate considerable cost reductions and greater flexibility."

The technology combines SharePoint and FAST Search, which caters for the enterprise-wide customer environment.  It is a hybrid solution integrating T-Systems' SharePoint services, which is based on Dynamic Computing Platform, with the standardized BPOS offering from Microsoft.  It enables the next generation of global, online collaboration among employees by providing a central platform for various applications such as document and content management as well as organization and collaboration in project work.  The information stored can be made available to each employee as required.  The solution is highly scalable, it can incorporate adaptations according to specific requirements, for example high-security specifications, and has a usage-based pricing model.

T-Systems and Microsoft have been working together on a number of fronts in the ICT market since 2004, as well as now on this major development for Shell.  In 2009, the two companies announced their joint effort in the field of cloud computing to give users access to standard Microsoft applications such as Outlook or Word via the network as needed.

"This development is a clear extension of our existing partnership with Shell, broadening our scope from Hosting and Storage into the Collaboration and Application Management space," said Reinhard Clemens, member of the Deutsche Telekom Board of Management and CEO of T-Systems.

"Microsoft and T-Systems are now bringing together their strengths in SharePoint for Shell. It is highly significant for us that Shell, one of our largest SharePoint customers, is now receiving the application in a hybrid cloud, thus putting them at the top of the innovation tree in this area," said Jan Piet van Roon, Global Client Director for Shell at Microsoft.

Meru Networks and Voalte Selected by Sarasota Memorial for iPhone Deployment to Improve Operational Efficiencies and Enhance Patient Care

Unified communications with voice-over-Wireless LAN technology delivers mission-critical mobility and pervasive coverage

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (HIMSS 2011) -- Meru Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: MERU), the leader in virtualized 802.11n enterprise wireless networking, today announced that Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, the second-largest acute care public medical center in Florida, selected Meru for pervasive wireless coverage throughout their 806-bed facility.  Over 1,000 health care customers around the world have selected Meru's virtualized wireless LAN (WLAN) solution for predictable coverage, seamless mobility and reliable voice-over-wireless LAN (VoWLAN) in order to migrate to an All-Wireless Enterprise(TM).  Specifically, Sarasota Memorial's nursing staff was experiencing difficulties communicating with colleagues at the point-of-care and the hospital needed a reliable and predictable voice handset solution.  Their previous system was inefficient because when a patient would push a bedside button, the notification did not go directly to the right caregiver which resulted in dozens of overhead pages a day.  Meru collaborated with Voalte, a leading provider of software communication solutions for health care institutions, to deploy a unified communications platform that would connect nurses and other care team members using Apple iPhones.  On the floors that deployed Meru's virtualized WLAN solution and Voalte's solution, the hospital reduced overhead pages by nearly 80 percent.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100621/SF23611LOGO)

"Today, supporting mobility is mission-critical for the health care industry as health care providers and administrators rely on their iPhones as they roam throughout their facility," said Rob Campbell, chief executive officer, Voalte.  "By partnering with Meru, we are able to deliver the reliability and service assurance our customers demand."

Key Facts

    --  Rated among America's 50 Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report and
        as one of America's Safest Hospitals by Forbes.com, Sarasota Memorial
        has a strong commitment to excellence.  Sarasota Memorial, an 806-bed
        medical center with more than 4,000 staff and 1,000 volunteers, were
        impressed with the ease of the 802.11n deployment and seamless roaming
        of mobile devices like iPhones and iPod Touches.  In addition, Sarasota
        Memorial selected Meru and Voalte for additional deployments, including
        a second nursing floor and the critical care tower to provide iPhones
        running on Meru's virtualized WLAN to anesthesiologists for
        communications throughout the hospital.
    --  Sarasota Memorial received the Magnet Nursing Services Recognition from
        the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) -- the nation's highest
        honor for excellence in nursing and one that has been earned by less
        than five percent of U.S. hospitals.  Sarasota Memorial needed to
        address their 400-person nursing staff which was overwhelmed by the
        daily volume of voice and pager messages and electronic mail received
        from care team members, staff and patients.  By deploying Voalte's
        iPhones over Meru's WLAN, nurses are able to manage and prioritize their
        critical messages from non-critical messages and better respond to
        patient needs.
    --  Nurses carry multiple mobile devices to communicate and collaborate with
        the administration and other healthcare providers and as they converge
        on specific areas of the hospital, they were concerned about dropped
        calls. Meru's virtualized WLAN solutions, based on Meru's patented
        Virtual Port(TM) technology, delivers dedicated bandwidth with
        customizable and predictable over-the-air quality-of-service (QoS)
        essential for high density environments, enabling the hospital to avoid
        a Wi-Fi Meltdown(TM).
    --  Both Meru and Voalte were recently recognized by Everything Channel's
        CRN Magazine as one of the top 100 Health Care Vendors of 2010.  This
        first annual list recognizes the most important health care technology
        vendors that have industry leading solutions for the health care
        industry.

"Health care has among the most demanding requirements for a wireless network.  Wireless technology has already transformed health care around the world, but its potential is much greater", said John Gallagher, senior director, solutions marketing, Meru Networks.  "Wireless technology today drives down health care costs, eases the burden on caregivers and enables new forms of examination and treatment.  Meru helps doctors, nurses and hospitals accelerate that transformation, improving patient care while minimizing the risk, time and cost found with other wireless solutions.  Meru's virtualized WLAN meet the needs of health care, with a converged network that delivers industry-leading performance for voice calls, patient telemetry and location tracking."

Cruise Amour Unveils Network of Local Cruise Advisors

PORTSMOUTH, England, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cruise Amour, the online agency,has unveiled its network of local cruise advisors.

Keen not to limit their exposure to only on-line channels, Cruise Amour made the decision in November 2010 to develop a network of local cruise advisors, each equipped to reach out to customers who are perhaps less comfortable booking on-line.

Despite tough economic times and the Christmas disruption, Cruise Amour has already recruited and trained four franchisees, with another three due to launch by the end of the month.

When asked if it had been difficult to recruit franchisees in an increasingly competitive market place, managing director Tim Hurrell said: "We've worked hard to ensure our franchise offering is truly unique and offers our franchisees a wealth of tools and resources that give them a strong competitive advantage. The rapid growth of our network is testament to this."

Cruise Amour's franchise packages start from 5,999 pounds Sterling for the Home Worker option rising to 8,999 pounds for the Local Business package which includes a local marketing exclusivity to the franchisee's chosen geographic area. Franchisees can expect to make 25k pounds - 85k pounds net profit each year operating either on a part-time or full-time basis.

Hurrell continued: "The decision to start a national network of local cruise advisors was two fold. First and foremost we wanted to expand into off-line markets but we also recognised that we could reduce the load on our head office call centre by passing off-line enquiries to the network. This in turn ensures a regular supply of business to our franchisees helping them grow their business quickly whilst at the same time reducing their investment risk."

Portsmouth South franchisee, Rosalind Jones added: "After evaluating the different franchises out there, I selected Cruise Amour as I was impressed with their professionalism and felt confident that the support they offer would help me get my business off to the best start possible. I found the initial training very helpful and am reassured to know that help is just a phone call away."

Full details of Cruise Amour's franchise packages can be found on their franchise website.

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

AT&T Plans to Enable 4G Speeds in Columbus Area with Upgrades to More Than 100 Cell Sites

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T*, building on its strong 2010 record of network accomplishments, today announced network improvement plans designed to bring 4G speeds to Columbus and surrounding communities in 2011. The wireless network enhancements are part of AT&T's planned $19 billion investment in its wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.

AT&T invested more than $160 million in its Columbus area wireless and wireline networks from 2008 through 2010. These investments and others include:

    --  Upgrading 60 cell sites in the Columbus area to provide better coverage
        and capacity
    --  Adding 3 retail stores in Columbus (Polaris Fashion Place, Easton Town
        Center and Lewis Center), bringing our total number of retail stores in
        the greater Columbus area to 17
    --  Continuing to offer our customers access to the nation's largest Wi-Fi
        network with more than 24,000 Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide - and more than
        190 hotspots in the Columbus area.

"AT&T is consistently among the top companies, if not the top, in the U.S. in terms of our investment and we're committed to helping our customers right here in Columbus take full advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," said Tom Pelto, President, AT&T Ohio. "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."

The nation's fastest mobile broadband network is getting even faster with 4G**. A key planned upgrade for 2011 is deployment of additional enhanced backhaul connections to more than 100 cell sites in Franklin County to enable 4G speeds.

"AT&T's major investment in Columbus to improve its network will help strengthen our reputation as a great city to live, work and raise a family," said Andrew Ginther, Columbus City Council President. "A robust telecom infrastructure is important to our business community, the local economy, and our residents' overall quality of life."

"AT&T's significant investment in central Ohio is driven in part by public policies that encourage and incent investments," said Andrew Doehrel, President and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. "We need Ohio to be open for business."

AT&T's advanced network provides several important advantages for customers. Unlike some competitors, 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-based network on average nationally.

"Consumers who want the nation's fastest network and the best selection of wireless devices will go with AT&T," said Larry Evans, vice president and general manager of AT&T Ohio and Western Pennsylvania area. "We're working hard to provide our customers best-in-class service and our ongoing investment in the local wireless network is one way to accomplish this."

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 and 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.

"Columbus consumers and businesses will continue to benefit from AT&T's investment in the nation's fastest mobile broadband network," said Alex Fischer, President and CEO, The Columbus Partnership. "Investment in wireless technologies will continue to drive job creation and innovation, which are keys to the success of Columbus 2020."

Ted Ford, President and CEO, TechColumbus, added that widespread availability of mobile broadband benefits many industries and businesses in Columbus. "AT&T's investment will be a boost to our work at TechColumbus to accelerate business growth, job creation, and prosperity in the 15-county region of Central Ohio."

"AT&T invested more than $1.4 billion in its Ohio wireless and wireline networks from 2008 through 2010, helping AT&T customers to take full advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," Pelto said. "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 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 is widening its lead in smartphones and devices, with 20 4G devices planned for 2011, including an industry-leading 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 125,000 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.

Xelltec Announces Revolutionary New Laptop Security Microchip

Xelltec Inc. today announces the release of their revolutionary new security microchip, which will enable users to remotely track and protect their laptops and handheld devices

WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Xelltec Integrated Security System (XISSYS) patent-pending microchip is a cutting edge "embedded security" solution, designed to allow users to easily disable a stolen laptop, smart phone, or other mobile device.

"When a laptop or smart phone is stolen, the thief can easily gain access to sensitive data, including telephone numbers, bank account numbers, emails, text messages, passwords, privileged company information, and much more," explained Ken Willard, CEO. "However, any mobile device with our microchip can be immediately and completely disabled, preventing a potentially devastating security breach."

The microchip is unique in that it provides the user with multiple options if their mobile device is lost or stolen.

The microchip can wipe out data, or it can physically destroy the mobile device so that it is completely inoperable. And if the user needs the data that is on the mobile device, then the data can be copied remotely from the device to a server, before the data is destroyed.

"When the backup process is finished, a new process can be initiated inside the main boards which generates a high-frequency voltage that zaps all of the hardware parts of the device and destroys the device, so neither the device nor the parts are usable any more. It is a powerful anti-theft deterrent," Willard said.

The microchip also acts as a tracking device, enabling the owner to find the physical location of their stolen laptop or smart phone.

Xelltec is planning to form strategic alliances and corporate partnerships with popular main board and computer manufacturing companies in the United States and internationally.

Xelltec delivers end to end hardware and software security solutions for protecting enterprises assets and valuable data from attackers and thief's seeking to exploit hardware and software systems.

Xelltec's exclusive products are optimized and hardened in security for every organization dealing in hardware/software systems and willing to do safe and secure data transactions over the World Wide Web.

Penny20.com Launches First Hidden-Limit Auction - Begins Marketing Campaign

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Penny20, Inc. along with technology partner Subjex Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SBJX) today announced the launch of new auction site http://www.Penny20.com. Public beta testing began February 1st and is now completed. Penny20's format allows anyone to sell items for full value without having to pay a listing fee, enables bidders to win items at substantial discounts, and pays referral commissions to members.

In a 'Hidden-Limit' auction, all bids are aggregated and applied to a rising hidden total; as the total grows so does the potential discount. Auctions end when the winning bidder buys the remaining bids and therefore have a finite 'Limit,' as bid revenue never exceeds the pre-set auction price. Heavy bidding volume will compel auctions to end faster, moving more products and producing more winners.

"Internet penny auctions simply cannot compete with the Hidden-Limit model," related Andrew Hyder, Penny20 Engineer and Subjex CEO. "The typical penny auction business model is severely flawed because they impose no limits. As long as people are bidding, auctions keep going. Auctions of that nature will never deliver legitimate, sustainable value."

Hyder continued, "We've introduced easy-to-understand game play that makes it impossible for bidders to pay full price, yet doesn't require sellers to discount their items. Penny20.com auctions are truly about market forces and skill, not blind chance."

In mid 2010 Penny20 partnered with Minneapolis-based Subjex Corporation to develop its model and to utilize Subjex' Artificial Intelligence software libraries. The company has kicked off its marketing campaign reaching 6,000 online businesses per day who have registered with Subjex' search engine. 

About Penny20, Inc.

Penny20 is a private Nevada corporation and auction model that allows the public to sell their own items for full retail, gives large discounts to bidders, and is designed to have the highest bid-to-win ratio in the industry. Visit http://www.Penny20.com

inFAMOUS 2 Blasts Onto the Scene this June Exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) System

Newest Installment of Critically-Acclaimed Superhero Action Adventure Series Teases with Hero Edition, In-game Bonuses, and Dynamic New Soundtrack

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) announced today that inFAMOUS 2, the much-anticipated sequel to 2009's blockbuster, will be released in North America on June 7, 2011 exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) system.  Developed by award-winning Sucker Punch Productions, inFAMOUS 2 continues to redefine the superhero tale, drawing players even closer this time around to the experience of being Cole MacGrath, an everyman turned superhero. inFAMOUS 2 introduces advanced elemental superpowers,  a devastating new melee fighting system, destructible urban environments, a vibrant, dense and interactive city with over 100 simultaneous characters on screen, and much more.  The electrifying new sequel brings to life the true superhero experience with a dynamic open world environment, cutting-edge graphics, large-scale gameplay moments and powerful cinematic sequences.

The next chapter continues the saga of Cole MacGrath as he takes a dramatic journey down the coast to the Southern city of New Marais, where he faces a new, darker entity, known only as "The Beast."  Testing his will and super-power potential, Cole must fight his way through New Marais and find the answer before the problem finds its own solution.  Throughout his journey Cole is once again faced with the choice to use his extraordinary abilities to save all of mankind or follow a more chaotic and destructive path.   This time around, Cole's karmic choices will directly affect the outcome of the story, providing for two vastly different endings and gameplay experiences.  During this leg of his journey, Cole can once again fluidly and freely navigate the city, scaling nearly every surface with dynamic parkour moves.  New Marais takes the open world genre to new heights and offers players a unique and evolving playground.

"Combining all-new dynamic open world gameplay and an evolved karma system, the second chapter in the best-selling franchise promises to bring back everything fans loved about inFAMOUS and more," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA.  "inFAMOUS 2 is Sucker Punch's most ambitious game yet and is poised to once again be PS3's summer blockbuster with a more visceral, emotional and powerful take on the true superhero experience."

Scheduled to be released simultaneously with the game, the inFAMOUS 2 Hero Edition features a bounty of exclusive collectable items including: a detailed, 8.5" Cole statue, a replica of Cole's sling messenger bag, the inFAMOUS mini comic from DC Comics, and a collector's edition soundtrack with bonus tracks.  The Hero Edition also kick starts the gaming experience and will include all the pre-order bonuses.  Vouchers for in-game exclusives include the new Lightning Hook power that snares enemies and objects towards Cole, the Electrocution Grenade power that shocks nearby enemies with arcing electricity and immobilizes them before detonation, a Kessler character skin that allows players to play as the sinister antagonist from the first installment, and a 24K Gold Amp to melee enemies in style.  Beginning today, fans can pre-order inFAMOUS 2 at select retailers.

Adding to the in-game ambiance, the original soundtrack combines Bryan "Brain" Mantia's experience from Primus and Guns and Roses with the feted New Orleans outfit Galactic to add a level of authenticity and funk to inFAMOUS 2. Galactic is no stranger to the New Orleans music scene and was featured on the hit show Treme.  Influenced by the rich musical history of New Orleans, Galactic and Brain collaborated with renowned game, film and television composer Jim Dooley and SCEA Music Manager and composer Jonathan Mayer to create an eclectic mix of jazz, funk, and electronica.  The highly collaborative team used a range of techniques from raw junkyard percussion supporting performances by a jazz string quintet and New Orleans brass players to a 64-piece orchestra to produce the right musical signature to accompany the inFAMOUS 2 saga.  The official soundtrack will be available digitally and with other promotional partners. 

The inFAMOUS 2 Hero Edition will be available at retailers everywhere for $99.99 MSRP.  inFAMOUS 2 for PS3 system will be available for $59.99 MSRP.  To stay up to date with all the news, visit http://www.infamousthegame.com/.

TRIUMF Selects Agresso in $1M Agreement to Modernize Business Operations

Canadian Subatomic Physics Laboratory Accelerates More Than Just Particles With ERP Software That Offers Business Agility

VICTORIA, British Columbia and DALLAS, February 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     UNIT4 Business Software (http://www.unit4software.com),the world's
leading provider of business software for fast changing organizations, today
announced an agreement worth over $1 million dollars with TRIUMF
(http://www.triumf.ca), Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear
physics. The agreement comprises the full Agresso Business World suite,
including Financials, HR and Payroll, Project Costing and Billing,
Procurement, Planning, Business Process Automation and Reporting and
Analytics. The selection process, which involved solutions from ORACLE,
Microsoft, and NetSuite, was initiated in June 2010. UNIT4 Business Software
was awarded the business based on Agresso's unique property of
post-implementation agility which allows business users to swiftly and
cost-effectively respond to change pressures in their organization as a
consequence of reorganizations, compliance issues, acquisitions, etc.,
without having to rely on external consultants.

    "As a research center almost every project we undertake is, by
definition, something that hasn't been done before; we needed an agile
business tool that could let us easily cope with new situations," says Nigel
Lockyer, director of TRIUMF. "New partnerships can present unique tax and
reporting requirements and we wanted to be able to manage these changes
ourselves. The Agresso solution will not only modernize our business
functions, it will allow us to be self-sufficient in the future."

    TRIUMF operates the world's largest cyclotron (a type of particle
accelerator) and the science performed at the facility yields cutting-edge
discoveries in particle physics, nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, and
materials science. The laboratory had been using a home grown system to
manage their business functions, but with funding secured for major new
projects involving significant expansion, TRIUMF sought a better solution.
"As a world-class scientific research laboratory, TRIUMF requires flexible a
responsive information system to support its administrative functions, to
comply with changing and increasingly stringent regulatory demands, and to
provide reliable and timely management reporting. Agresso Business World
meets all of these requirements and we look forward to working with UNIT4 to
implement a new generation contemporary information system for TRIUMF," says
Steve McDonald, manager, computing &networking services at TRIUMF. "The
architecture of Agresso impressed us; it will empower us to handle whatever
comes our way."

    UNIT4 Business Software targets organizations in the public, private, and
not-for-profit sectors that have a requirement to respond to business change
quickly and easily. "We are thrilled to welcome TRIUMF to our growing list of
not-for-profit customers," said Shelley Zapp, president of UNIT4 Business
Software in North America. "They are a unique organization with brilliant
people doing world-class scientific research right in our backyard; they know
how to run their projects and operations and Agresso will provide them
agility to operate as they see fit, efficiently and with a low ongoing cost
of ownership." As unique as TRIUMF is, it shares a common characteristic with

Sage ERP X3 Gathers Market Momentum

LONDON, February 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - New Customer Wins and Partnerships Signal Sage ERP X3 Global Growth

    - Sage ERP X3 Launched in Russia and Austria

    Sage ERP X3, Sage Group's global mid market ERP software, has rapidly
become one of the leading ERP vendors since the global launch of Sage ERP X3
v6 in January 2010. In the last twelve months:

   
    - 300 new customers have adopted Sage ERP X3 taking the total
      number of customers globally to more than 3,000 customers
    - Sage ERP X3 is now available in 53 countries
    - Sage ERP has more than 165,000 users worldwide

    Sage ERP X3 has recently been included in the 2010 Magic Quadrant for ERP
for Product-Centric Midmarket Companies* addressing the needs of
product-centric companies with between 100 and 999 employees, and with annual
revenue between US$50 million and US$1 billion.

    Sage ERP X3 progresses over upper midmarket

    Sage ERP X3 is primarily aimed at midmarket companies looking
for a cost-effective, easy to use and comprehensive solution. Sage ERP X3 can
accommodate the most complex midmarket business requirements from dispersed
local organizations to global HQ. Sage ERP X3 (multi-legislative,
multilingual, multi-currency solution) integrates everything to make a
company more efficient: analysis and reporting, financial accounting and
management control, operational management (production, purchasing, sales,
and inventory). As a result the Sage ERP X3 product is constantly evolving to
bring customers state-of-the-art business functionality and technology. The
latest version V6.1 offers SAFE X3 WAS (Web Application Server) and Web
Services (in REST and SOAP flavours), a new way to leverage ERP based
processes for web and e-business solutions including a web portal, directory
synchronization, eclipse source editor environment and e-applications as well
as REST protocol integration to facilitate collaboration. The next product
upgrade to be announced next quarter will focus on Enterprise 2.0, business
intelligence services and Sage Enterprise Webtop(TM).

    Sage ERP X3 has expanded its partnership with Logica plc, a
global systems integrator, to support multi-country ERP projects and has
worked with Microsoft, Oracle and Netvibes to develop and deliver a truly
innovative and global ERP solution.

    Christophe Letellier, Sage ERP X3 Worldwide General Manager,
said: "The usability, agility and tailored provision for mid-market companies
that Sage ERP X3 delivers, allows companies to get a complete view of a
company's operations and total financial control throughout the entire
organisation. Undoubtedly as more and more companies increase international
operations, global sales and supplier activity they require a flexible ERP
solution, with room for the solution to be tailored to fit many business
requirements, be it deployable either on premise or on the web."

    In the last twelve months, 300 new customers have adopted Sage ERP X3

    The product's simplicity, speed of implementation, cost effectiveness,
user and web centricity has proved popular amongst mid-sized companies.
Recent customers include Crown Holdings, Inc. a leading manufacturer of
packaging products for consumer marketing companies around the world present
in 41 countries, employing 20,510 people; leading international
pharmaceutical laboratory Ethypharm; Italian manufacturer Minetti S.P.A; Van
Genechten Packaging, the pan-European specialist in packaging technology;
Avmor Ltd., a global manufacturer and distributor of quality industry
cleaning products; and Namakwa Diamonds, the integrated diamond resource
group listed on the London Stock Exchange.

    CIO of Namakwa Diamonds, Anton Jacobsz says: "Sage ERP X3 enables us to
not only run one system across the entire mine, but we can also report via
company, region and the overall group. We are able to access the system in
real time with a simple internet browser internally and externally because
Sage ERP X3 has a dynamic, intuitive web 2.0 portal that provides easy access
to the ERP and external application data. We are also able to integrate
branches, subsidiaries and work with other business applications."

    Sage ERP X3 introduced to the Russian and Austrian markets

    During the last 12 months Sage ERP X3 has launched in the Russian market,
which Sage plc announced in November 2010 in conjunction with local partner
the Energy Consulting Group. Sage ERP X3 has now been localised for the
Russian market, and the software fully satisfies the legal requirements of
the Russian Federation, including support of local financial reporting and
tax accounting standards.

    Mikhail Ponomarev, CEO of Energy Consulting Group, said: "Why Sage ERP
X3?" people ask us. For me, the answer is clear: Sage is a global ERP leader
in mid-sized and larger companies. According to the Gartner Sage is the 3rd
largest ERP solution provider to businesses worldwide with 8% market share
(1), concentrating mainly on intermediate business. The potential for
mid-sized companies in Russia is great. Nowadays, in conditions of growing
business competition the main task for business owners and top managers is
management process optimisation and cost control. Already several thousand
companies use Sage ERP X3 in the world. We believe the Sage ERP X3 product
combines global "best practice" of automated management, which can
successfully be used in Russia".

    Christophe Letellier, General Manager, Sage ERP X3 world-wide said: "In
Russia, there is a clear market demand as well as opportunities to introduce
a new product that meets the international requirements of today's businesses
while being truly relevant to local ways to conducting businesses. This is
why this is not only a product but a solution offered together with local
presence and expertise via Energy Consulting, who will be able to accelerate
implementations and provide a best-in-class understanding to our Russian
clients of how to support all their business processes with Sage ERP X3".

    Sage ERP X3 also launched in Austria in November 2010. The launch in
Austria followed the merger of two of Sage's Austrian subsidiaries in January
2010 and a sharpening of its domestic brand identity.

    "With the launch of our international solution for the upper mid-market
in Austria, we are pursuing our current strategy of having locally developed
solutions for local SMEs - which makes up much of our business; as well as
offering Sage ERP X3 in more countries in the world, to complement our
portfolio to international companies. Austria is an important market for us
since it is rich of solid international companies that will find a great fit
with Sage ERP X3. I am therefore convinced that our internationally
successful software will prevail in the Austrian market ", said Christophe
Letellier, General Manager Sage ERP X3.

    "Based on internal insight, a variety of our mid-market customers already
have international operations," said Christian Buell, Mid-Market Business
Manager Sage Ltd Austria. In particular, the EU's eastward expansion and the
opening of the Chinese market is fuelling demand for software solutions for
international companies that want to grow internationally. With Sage ERP X3,
we now offer these customers a solution that meets the requirements of
multinational companies and covers different language versions in addition to
the country-specific legislation, "said Christian Buell.

    Sage ERP X3 international development speed-up by a new team

    Having recognised that customers increasingly require solutions to manage
businesses at an international level, Sage has recently introduced an
international team to support the development of the Sage ERP X3 business by
sharing knowledge, skills and resource, business development, country
enablement, training and consulting and international support. In addition to
the international team, Sage ERP X3 benefits from Sage's obvious intimacy
with midmarket companies, already serving more than 580,000 companies of 100
employees or more. It is strengthened by the energy and proximity of the
operational countries, whose activity and expertise over their own market are
key drivers for sales, development and R&D. Sage's global ERP X3 community
now consists of more than 500 people within Sage and over 1,500 external
consultants from more than 200 business partners and system integrators
around the world.

    This international team is led by software veteran Christophe Vanackere,
Director of International Development for Sage ERP X3, who joined in February
2010. He brings with him 15 years of international business development
experience gained from managing international sales teams and operations for
a number of companies.

    Christophe Vanackere said: "Our ambition to drive growth aggressively in
all 53 countries where Sage ERP X3 is already established as well as expand
in new geographies. The increasing strength of our partner community and
their industry solutions in discrete and process manufacturing, distribution
and services makes Sage ERP X3 even more relevant to all midsized businesses
around the world."

    Emmanuel Obadia, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Products now drives
Marketing & Communication globally for Sage ERP X3 on top of his previous
responsibilities for Product Management and Product Marketing. His team
focuses on driving global integrated and marketing programs, partner &
alliances marketing together with a comprehensive communication and social
media strategy to accelerate Sage ERP X3 leadership in all geographies.

    Emmanuel Obadia said: "The recent appointment of our team to reinforce
Sage's footprint in upper midmarket and above with Sage ERP X3 worldwide is
an exciting challenge. Sage's pragmatism, business understanding and
experience serving 6.3 Million businesses worldwide definitely bring a lot of
value to our today's customers and will to future customers. Sage live and
breathe business to deliver an extraordinary experience on how to leverage

VTech Introduces World's First CAT-iq 2.0 Certified Product

Avant 5000 model offers multi lines and other new capabilities

HONG KONG, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- VTech Holdings Ltd (HKEx: 303) today announced that its new Avant 5000 model cordless VoIP phone has become the first handset in the world to be certified as compliant with CAT-iq 2.0, a certification programme introduced by the DECT Forum only in December last year. The programme tests devices on protocol, radio frequency (RF) level and especially on audio quality, one of the key drivers of CAT-iq.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090615/HKM004 )

CAT-iq stands for Cordless Advanced Technology - internet and quality. It was developed to meet the demands of the new generation of IP-based services and devices. The technology enables transport of voice via broadband, making it sound more natural and "true-to-life" than the standard Plain Old Telephone Network (POTS) and 3G mobile communication. The DECT Forum is the international association of the wireless home and enterprise communication industry and has been offering certification of CAT-iq products at laboratories in Germany and Norway.

The big step forward with CAT-iq 2.0 is that it enables customers to make end-to-end VoIP calls with all the extras that come with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) telephony, including wideband voice quality, multiple lines, caller ID and synchronisation of phone books and system settings. Certified CAT-iq 2.0 handsets from different system vendors can also be used on the same certified base station. They are inter-operable with other CAT-iq handsets and gateways, and are also backward compatible to certain other DECT products.

"VTech, as the world's largest manufacturer of cordless telephones, has reaffirmed its technology leadership position with the introduction of the first CAT-iq 2.0 certified handset. The Avant 5000 model demonstrates our enduring strength in R&D, and how quickly we can turn new ideas into reality," said Mr Chi Hoi Tong, President of Telecommunication Products, VTech Telecommunications Ltd.

"To see CAT-iq 2.0 products become a reality for the first time is a major milestone for the DECT Forum and is a result of our efforts to develop the future standard for cordless telephony," said Mr Daniel Hartnett, Chairman of the CAT-iq Working Group within the DECT Forum.

The stylishly designed Avant 5000 is expected to be launched this year.

Chevrolet MyLink Creates Smartphones on Wheels

Smart interface design allows drivers to take advantage of mobile communications technology while the phone remains safely stowed

NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers who seek a higher level of in-vehicle wireless connectivity and customized infotainment options, plus the unmatched safety and security of OnStar need look no further than the 2012 Chevy Volt and Equinox.

When these vehicles go on sale later this year, they will be the first to offer Chevy MyLink - an in-car infotainment package that builds on the safety and security of OnStar and seamlessly integrates online services like Pandora® internet radio and Stitcher SmartRadio® using hands-free voice and touch-screen controls via Bluetooth device connectivity.

"There is a new generation of car buyers who don't want to settle for mass market radio," said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing.  "They want to create their own individual stations and have access to them wherever they are. Chevrolet vehicles have offered customers the ability to use portable media devices since 2006 and the introduction of MyLink takes media personalization to a new level."

MyLink adds stereo audio streaming and wireless control of smartphones, building on the voice-activated Bluetooth hands-free calling capability already offered in most Chevy vehicles. MyLink also includes a seven-inch, high-resolution, full-color touch screen display that makes media selection easy to navigate.

"Chevrolet MyLink is the next logical step for in-vehicle connectivity," said Karl Stracke, vice president for Global Product Engineering.  "MyLink leverages the mobile broadband capability and the sophisticated, online services made possible by today's smartphones."

MyLink retains all the capabilities of today's entertainment units, including AM/FM/XM tuners, CD player with MP3 playback, auxiliary and USB inputs. But, Stracke says, "These are the essentials and we're building from there."

Among the new benefits provided by MyLink:

    --  Enhanced hands-free voice control system powered by Nuance®, which
        allows simple voice commands to initiate phone calls and select radio
        stations or media from portable MP3 players and smartphones.  A tap of a
        button on the steering wheel enables intuitive verbal control of
        smartphone applications like "play (artist name)" or "call (name of
        contact)" to keep the driver's hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

    --  Pandora® internet radio allows users to create personalized radio
        stations based on favorite artists or genres and Stitcher SmartRadio®
        enables access to thousands of audio programming choices allowing
        customers to build a personalized listening experience. MyLink
        integrates control of both of these apps for a driver directed listening
        experience.

    --  Gracenote®: identifies the music collection on the driver's smartphone
        or MP3 player and presents information such artist name, genres and
        album cover art on the MyLink screen and enables users to select similar
        music to the tunes they love. Gracenote also improves the accuracy of
        MyLink's voice activation system by allowing users to access music using
        artist nicknames, such as "The Boss," "G.N.R," or "The Fab Four" simply
        by using MyLink's touch-screen or steering wheel buttons and voice
        control interfaces.

    --  Upgraded USB connectivity: While Chevrolet has offered auxiliary device
        connectivity since 2006, MyLink adds flash memory capability to its USB
        device connections.  This provides users with the ability to access
        approved applications that will make their MyLink system even more
        functional, while assuring that driver's maintain eyes on the road and
        hands on the wheel.

The debut of Chevy MyLink extends the OnStar experience from safety and security to information and entertainment by seamlessly integrating the capability of a smartphone into the vehicle so that hand-held phones may be safely stowed while driving.

When OnStar debuted in 1996, it pioneered in-vehicle connectivity with the auto industry's first embedded telematics system. It has grown from primarily offering automatic crash notification and security features to include remote vehicle diagnostics, turn-by-turn navigation and the ability to slow down stolen vehicles.

In November 2010, OnStar released a smartphone application for all 2011 Chevy vehicles that incorporated remote start, lock/unlock, and vehicle status checks as well as battery management functions for Volt owners. Volt owners also have the MyVolt.com website to provide those remote management features and other Chevy owners soon will have access to similar web-based OnStar services.

The combination of MyLink and OnStar will soon be joined by the integration of the Powermat® charging system - eliminating the need for charging cords. Chevrolet MyLink will be available beginning with the 2012 Chevrolet Volt and Equinox this fall before expanding to other vehicles in the Chevy lineup over the next 18 months.

'Bittersweet Cookies': New Types of 'cookies' Raise Online Security & Privacy Concerns in EU Agency Paper

BRUSSELS and HERAKLION, Greece, February 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     The EU's 'cyber security' Agency ENISA has published a paper on the
security and privacy concerns regarding new types of online 'cookies'. The
advertising industry has led the drive for new, persistent and powerful
cookies, with privacy-invasive features for marketing practices and
profiling. The Agency advocates e.g. that both the user browser and the
origin server must assist informed consent, and that users should be able to
easily manage their cookies. The Agency recommends a thorough study of
different interpretations in the Member States, once the Directive
2009/136/EC Directive 2009/136/EC (
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:337:0011:0036
:En:PDF) has been implemented, by 25 May 2011.

    The new Agency Position Paper identifies and analyzes cookies in terms of
security vulnerabilities and the relevant privacy concerns. Cookies were
originally used to facilitate browser-server interaction. Lately, driven by
the advertising industry, they are used for other purposes; e.g. advertising
management, profiling, tracking, etc. The possibilities to misuse cookies
both exist and are being exploited.

    The new type of cookies support user-identification in a persistent
manner and do not have enough transparency of how they are being used.
Therefore, their security and privacy implications are not easily
quantifiable. To mitigate the privacy implications, the Agency recommends,
among other things, that:

   
    - Informed consent should guide the design of systems using cookies; the
      use of cookies and the data stored in cookies should be transparent for
      the users.
    - Users should be able to easily manage cookies: in particular news
      cookie types. As such all cookies should have removal mechanisms easy
      to understand and use by any user.
    - Storage of cookies outside browsers control should be limited or
      prohibited.
    - Users should be provided with another service channel if they do not
      accept cookies.

    The Executive Director of ENISA, Prof. Udo Helmbrecht
(http://www.enisa.europa.eu/about-enisa/structure-organization/executive-dire
ctor) underlines;

    "Much work is needed to make these next-generation cookies as
transparent and user-controlled as regular HTTP cookies, as to safeguard the
privacy and security aspects of consumers and business alike".

    Dr. Jose Fernandes, Director of Department for Development
Support and Academia, Microsoft Portugal, stated "Every year more businesses
come online using the Internet. [...] Security and privacy are key to make
this happen, so end-user and business people can fully trust online services.
ENISA has a great role to play in this space and I congratulate them to put
forward this study."

    The EU Member States (MS) must transpose Directive 2009/136/
(http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:337:0011:003
6:En:PDF)EC Directive 2009/136/ECinto national law by 25 May 2011. It
underlines the need for a valid consent by the user and that users receive
prior and clear information. Thus, the Agency advocates for a study of the
MS' implementation measures after the transposition deadline.

Alliance AutoGas Redesigns Website to Better Engage Fleet Customers Interested in Adopting Alternative Fuels

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance AutoGas is pleased to formally announce the launch of its recently renovated website that makes it easy for fleets to learn about converting vehicles to run on clean-burning autogas.

The website, http://www.allianceautogas.com, takes the mystery out of the vehicle conversion process for busy fleet managers and owners who need the facts up front. Of the many updates to the site, the "Fleets" section is now even easier to navigate. This component walks business and fleet visitors through vehicle makes and models which can be up-fitted to run on autogas, how onsite fueling can be implemented at the fleet base, and the training that fleet mechanics and drivers receive.

"Our driving motivation in giving the site a facelift was to create the most fleet-friendly autogas resource on the web," explained Stuart Weidie, president of Alliance AutoGas. "Alliance is proud to be a leader in providing an autogas solution that reduces fleet operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions, and the new site shows our commitment to creating the best experience for our fleet customers."

Autogas fleets save substantially on fuel costs, since autogas is about $1.00 less per gallon than gasoline with a 50-cent-per-gallon federal tax credit. Additionally, autogas vehicles emit significantly less harmful greenhouse gases, reducing emissions by 20 percent compared to gasoline and diesel vehicles. And because autogas is a cleaner-burning fuel, autogas vehicles require fewer oil changes and experience extended engine life. Alliance offers bi-fuel conversions, so the vehicles start on gasoline and switch immediately to autogas. The ability to run on gasoline in the event that autogas fueling is out of range, means peace of mind for vehicle drivers.

"There are only about 200,000 autogas-powered vehicles in the United States, yet autogas is the most widely use alternative fuel in the world," says Weidie. "Alliance is working to bring clean, economical autogas to more fleets across the U.S., and we hope the renovated website will encourage fleets who are ready to learn more."

Alliance AutoGas

Founded by Blossman Gas (the nation's largest independent propane retailer) and American Alternative Fuel, Alliance provides a turnkey solution that has fleet managers across the country committing to use clean, domestically produced autogas. http://www.allianceautogas.com

Novell Stockholders Adopt Merger Agreement With Attachmate Corporation

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell, Inc. (Nasdaq: NOVL), the leader in intelligent workload management, today announced that its stockholders have voted at a special meeting of stockholders held today to adopt the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 21, 2010, with Attachmate Corporation and Longview Software Acquisition Corp.

Approximately 99% of the shares voting at today's special meeting of stockholders voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, representing approximately 66% of Novell's total outstanding shares of common stock as of the January 12, 2011 record date.  Approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Novell's common stock.  A quorum of 68.06% of Novell's total outstanding shares of common stock as of the January 12, 2011 record date was present at the meeting.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the contemplated merger is completed, Novell stockholders will be entitled to receive $6.10 in cash for each share of Novell common stock held by them.  While stockholder approval satisfies one of the conditions to completion of the merger, the merger remains subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain other closing conditions, including the closing of the sale of certain identified issued patents and patent applications to CPTN Holdings LLC ("CPTN"). 

The patent sale to CPTN remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, including receipt of antitrust approval in the United States and Germany.As previously disclosed, Novell and CPTN received a request for additional information from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice regarding the patent sale.  The requests have the effect of extending the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 until 30 days after both parties have substantially complied with the requests, unless the waiting period is earlier terminated.  Novell is in the process of gathering information to respond to this request and is continuing to cooperate fully with the Department of Justice in connection with its review.  Novell continues to work toward completing the merger as quickly as possible and currently anticipates that the closing of the merger will occur following the completion of the waiting period and the satisfaction of other closing conditions.

ConnectWise Launches Business Transformation Webinars Featuring Gary Pica, President of TruMethods

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ConnectWise, the leading business management solution designed exclusively for IT service providers, announced today it has launched a business transformation webinar series "Success Wise" with the President and founder of TruMethods, Gary Pica.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100105/FL32155LOGO)

The Success Wise series kicked off February 15 with a Business Planning webinar. Using simple methods and real-world tools every IT provider can implement, participants learned how to develop a winning business plan, three tools that will increase sales in 2011, the top three mistakes most business owners make - and how to avoid them. A repeat of the first webinar in the series will take place February 22.

To register for future webinars please see the ConnectWise Events Page

Pica originally struggled to convert his suburban Philadelphia break/fix shop into an MSP. Lead generation was a constant challenge, qualifying prospects was harder yet, and potential clients didn't understand the value of managed services. Through years of trial and error, Pica was able to add new managed services agreements each month, achieve predictable sales growth, soaring margins and increased net worth. Pica's business brought in $6 million a year in recurring revenues at the time of its sale in 2005, and today, IT service companies pay thousands of dollars for Pica's personal guidance

"No one has the reputation and the background of Gary Pica or has the ability to motivate and guide IT service providers to transform their businesses, convert their ideas into results, and reach their full potential as managed service providers," said ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini. "ConnectWise is proud to partner with Gary to bring Success Wise live webinars to the IT Nation and to play a greater role in helping our partners triple their profits."

"I am excited about this opportunity to partner with ConnectWise to bring real business transformation content to the industry. As one of ConnectWise's first clients our relationship has spanned over eight years," said Gary Pica. "The software, support and community provided by ConnectWise were at the center of my company's success."
