Hotwire Announces That Avoiding Most Heavily Trafficked Airports During the Thanksgiving Holiday Can Help Consumers Save Big

Hotwire Announces That Avoiding Most Heavily Trafficked Airports During the Thanksgiving Holiday Can Help Consumers Save Big
Booking travel through alternative airports in major cities, like Chicago, can give consumers a potential savings of up to 20%
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Turkey day is around the corner and that means airports are hitting their high season. Hotwire.com®, a leading discount travel site, has announced that this year consumers can save big money on their Thanksgiving airfare purchases if they book their travel through alternative airports in big cities. Alternative airports can offer a potential savings of up to 20 percent.
Unlike the major airline hubs, whose pricing is set by one or two dominant carriers, smaller alternative airports are serviced by multiple low cost carriers and can generally be more competitive in price. This means during busy times of the year, these airports can offer lower fares to travelers. In addition, low cost carriers tend to be leading the pack when it comes to adding seats back to their fleets and as a result, are driving down fares even lower at many alternative airports.
To illustrate the potential savings associated with alternative airports, Hotwire.com has listed some of the most heavily trafficked U.S. airports during the holiday season, along with suggested alternate airports where consumers can find better deals:
Airport -Avg. Ticket Average Price Alternate Airport Average Savings
-------------------- ------------- ----------------- ---------------
1. O'Hare (Chicago) $380 Midway Airport 20%
2. Dallas-Fort Worth $395 Dallas Love Field 10%
3. LAX (Los Angeles) $441 Burbank Airport 3%
4. Newark $405 LaGuardia Airport 11%
5. San Francisco $416 Oakland Airport 12%
To further help consumers find airfare deals this Thanksgiving, Hotwire® also recommends that consumers search "opaque" travel sites, like Hotwire, to book their flights. For those customers who have some flexibility in exactly when they travel, Hotwire is able to offer customers incredibly discounted air tickets through Hot Rates, sometimes up to 45% off. This type of inventory has steadily increased this year, making the chances of finding a great deal on Hotwire even better.
"During this season, especially over the holidays, I often hear consumers say the same thing - that they are tired of dealing with the price increases and hassles of holiday travel," said Clem Bason, president of the Hotwire Group. "That's why, this year, we are pleased to be able to offer our customers some alternative travel solutions that not only will save them money, but will give them a reason to exhale during this stressful travel time."
About Hotwire
Hotwire.com is a leading discount travel site with low rates on airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, cruises and vacation packages. Launched in 2000, Hotwire negotiates deep discounts from its travel suppliers to help travelers book unsold airline seats, hotel rooms and rental cars. J.D.

Booking travel through alternative airports in major cities, like Chicago, can give consumers a potential savings of up to 20%
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Turkey day is around the corner and that means airports are hitting their high season. Hotwire.com®, a leading discount travel site, has announced that this year consumers can save big money on their Thanksgiving airfare purchases if they book their travel through alternative airports in big cities. Alternative airports can offer a potential savings of up to 20 percent.
Unlike the major airline hubs, whose pricing is set by one or two dominant carriers, smaller alternative airports are serviced by multiple low cost carriers and can generally be more competitive in price. This means during busy times of the year, these airports can offer lower fares to travelers. In addition, low cost carriers tend to be leading the pack when it comes to adding seats back to their fleets and as a result, are driving down fares even lower at many alternative airports.
To illustrate the potential savings associated with alternative airports, Hotwire.com has listed some of the most heavily trafficked U.S. airports during the holiday season, along with suggested alternate airports where consumers can find better deals:
Airport -Avg. Ticket Average Price Alternate Airport Average Savings
-------------------- ------------- ----------------- ---------------
1. O'Hare (Chicago) $380 Midway Airport 20%
2. Dallas-Fort Worth $395 Dallas Love Field 10%
3. LAX (Los Angeles) $441 Burbank Airport 3%
4. Newark $405 LaGuardia Airport 11%
5. San Francisco $416 Oakland Airport 12%
To further help consumers find airfare deals this Thanksgiving, Hotwire® also recommends that consumers search "opaque" travel sites, like Hotwire, to book their flights. For those customers who have some flexibility in exactly when they travel, Hotwire is able to offer customers incredibly discounted air tickets through Hot Rates, sometimes up to 45% off. This type of inventory has steadily increased this year, making the chances of finding a great deal on Hotwire even better.
"During this season, especially over the holidays, I often hear consumers say the same thing - that they are tired of dealing with the price increases and hassles of holiday travel," said Clem Bason, president of the Hotwire Group. "That's why, this year, we are pleased to be able to offer our customers some alternative travel solutions that not only will save them money, but will give them a reason to exhale during this stressful travel time."

Replacing Your Cisco XML Gateway? Forum Systems Can Help!

Replacing Your Cisco XML Gateway? Forum Systems Can Help!
Company Augments Cisco ACE XML Gateway Replacement Program to Offer Direct Trade-in Credit for Any XML Vendor Gear, No-cost Training, Migration Best Practices and More
BOSTON, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Forum Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosscheck Networks, Inc., today announced a comprehensive program to reduce costs, allay concerns and answer questions for organizations seeking to deploy XML Gateways.
On the heels of introducing the latest version of its flagship Forum Sentry XML Gateway, Forum Systems has extended its Cisco ACE XML Gateway Replacement Program. Effective now through March 31, 2011, the Program includes:
-- Direct trade-in credit in exchange for any XML Gateway hardware and
software;
-- No-cost, on-site migration to Forum Sentry XML Gateway policies;
-- No-cost Forum Sentry Training Certification Program;
-- Dedicated 24x7x365 support by experts with a minimum of five years
experience.
Additionally, to help organizations ensure a smooth migration, Forum Systems offers the following Best Practices for Selecting an XML Gateway:
-- Choose a Patented Product: Selecting a non-patented XML Gateway only
leads to product replacement, and ultimately, additional acquisition
costs.
-- Scrutinize XML Gateway Architectures: Understand XML Gateway and
ESB/Application Server differences. With security of paramount
importance, clear role segregation should be enforced - and custom code
never introduced into an XML Gateway.
-- Demand an Independent Security Assessment: Integrating an HSM crypto
card into the appliance does not improve security or constitute
compliance. The entire XML Gateway must be FIPS 140-2 certified in order
to guarantee security and compliance.
-- Validate Comparable Functionality: To eliminate functional gaps, the
selected XML Gateway must be architected with modular policy design for
fundamental constructs so that keys, encryption/signature policies and
firewall rules can be easily transitioned.
-- Stipulate Flexible Replacement Costs and Options: Demand vendors that
will work within corporate budgets and timelines. Vendors should be
flexible in offering options that help reduce capital expenditure
expense, migration and maintenance costs.
"XML Gateways represent a critical, foundational element for IT groups and the run-the-business applications and services that drive their organizations," said Crosscheck Networks CEO Mamoon Yunus. "By abandoning the Cisco ACE XML Gateway, Cisco is forcing its customers to find other alternatives. Our expanded Replacement Program - coupled with our best-in-class Forum Sentry - gives these, and other enterprise organizations evaluating replacing their XML Gateway, a smooth migration path to a better solution from a company they can depend on."
Forum Sentry: The XML Gateway Gold Standard
Processing more than one billion transactions per day globally, Forum Sentry is the industry standard for XML and SOAP security, access control and integration. Unlike other vendors that introduce runtime code into their appliances to compensate for inherent design limitations, Forum Systems' Forum Sentry is certified by NIST and the U.S. Department of Defense, and the XML Gateway of choice for 300 global organizations in transaction- and security-intensive sectors including government, financial services, telecommunications and healthcare. The latest version, Forum Sentry v8.0, helps organizations securely extend their enterprise SOA deployments to harness the power of the public cloud.

Showcase Your Portfolio Anytime, Anywhere from the Palm of Your Hand
MEDL Mobile Introduces Its Newest App for the iPad "MediaPad Pro"
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- MEDL Mobile, Inc., a leader in mobile application development and the company behind internationally successful apps such as Note to God and the #1 hit, Mall Maps, in conjunction with celebrated photographer, Craig Orsini, have created MediaPad Pro, an app for the iPad that will revolutionize the presentation of professional portfolios. MediaPad Pro, which took the scene by storm at its 2010 PhotoPlus International Convention debut, brings a dynamic new approach to the way photographers, artists, models, designers, actors and directors are able to present, display and share their portfolios or catalogues. The app comes equipped with features such as a fully customizable interface, taking anyone's work to the next level by offering instant access to showcase a selection of work and even edit presentations on the spot. MediaPad Pro is available now at http://www.medlmobile.com and at http://www.apple.com/itunes app store.
MediaPad Pro is fully customizable and the definition of ease with effortless editing. Simply start by entering your professional contact information and you are ready to begin uploading an unlimited amount of static images (print), audio files, video files and digital/website files. MediaPad Pro blends the mobility and format of your book with the instant advantages of a website.
Notice a mistake or decide you prefer a different photo or color? Easily make instant corrections by swapping out the piece you choose, adjusting the color palette or modifying the font scheme and background images. MediaPad Pro allows you to automate your portfolio into a seamless presentation and eliminate the expensive cost of paper stock, print runs, bulky portfolio cases and the time-consuming preparation.
The man behind this app, Craig Orsini, has been a professional photographer since the early days of digital; jumping on board in the 90s when he opened a still life studio in Boston. However, while the precision of still life spoke to the organized side of his brain, his sense of humor and love of people were severely undernourished. By 2000 Craig made the decision to begin concentrating on large productions with people and humor as a central focus. The idea caught on and a profile in PDN and a handful of awards quickly followed with work featured in Archive, Communication Arts and The Kelly Awards. Craig has established a national reputation and ventured into the "real life" world of lifestyle photography and motion capture for clients such as Carnival Cruise Lines, Zipcar, Banana Boat, Bose, TomTom GPS and McDonald's.
Additional features include:
-- Hyperlinked digital files for live demonstrations
-- Fully customizable interface
-- Guest Registry with PDF/XLSX export option
-- Slideshow options with transitions and timing for a seamless
presentation
-- MediaPad Pro tutorial section with walkthroughs and helpful tips.
MEDL Mobile is proud to call MediaPad Pro a Shiny MEDL Object.

By partnering with Trident, whose customers include some of the world's best-known television brands, the agreement continues Sonic's string of successes in extending RoxioNow support across the broadest possible range of televisions, set-top boxes, media players, and mobile devices.
"Consumers want to combine the quality from their digital TVs with the variety and flexibility they receive from streaming," said Dirk Wieberneit, SVP & General Manager of Trident's TV business unit. "RoxioNow provides us with an ideal ready-made solution to give them what they want. Building RoxioNow into our HDTV SoCs makes it easy for our customers in the DTV market to take advantage of the explosive growth in demand for high-quality streamed video content."
Trident's highly integrated, programmable SoC semiconductors act as the brains for DTV and other digital media displays, providing image processing and optimization for video and computer graphic signals. Sonic's broad implementation on device chipsets is expected to result in RoxioNow-powered storefronts appearing on over 95% of all connected BD and HDTV consumer electronics devices shipping over the next several years.
"Trident's role in the DTV chip market makes this an important agreement not simply for us, but for all the other companies -- both manufacturers and content providers -- that have committed to the RoxioNow platform," said Mark Ely, President of Strategy, Sonic Solutions. "The ideal scenario for consumers is a world in which all their entertainment devices work seamlessly to provide the content when and where they want it. Each successive partner we bring on board puts RoxioNow closer to being the universal solution to that need."
The RoxioNow platform serves a broad range of premium content, including new movies and next-day TV programs, to a growing, multi-manufacturer ecosystem of home and mobile electronics. RoxioNow enables storefronts for brick and mortar retailers, cable operators, PC manufacturers, game system vendors, consumer electronics makers, and Hollywood studios' direct-to-consumer initiatives. The platform allows these companies to participate in the entertainment supply chain, add value to product offerings, and form ongoing relationships with customers. "Powered by RoxioNow(TM)" stores enable consumers to instantly rent and purchase high-quality entertainment on their favorite devices and, through the RoxioNow online entertainment library, access their content at any time, on any RoxioNow-powered device.

Radiall Introduces a New HDQX Connector Solution for High-Speed Data Transmission
For Ethernet and RF signals, Radiall's HDQX Connector combines a compact size with the ruggedness needed for high reliability and signal integrity in harsh aerospace and military environments.
CHANDLER, Ariz., Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiall USA, Inc. expands its connector product offering with the new HDQX series for high-speed Ethernet and RF data transmission. The HDQX connector combines a compact size with the ruggedness needed for high reliability and signal integrity in harsh aerospace and military environments. Offering twelve size 8 cavities in a high-density rectangular shell, the space-saving HDQX accepts ARINC 600 Quadrax and size 8 BMA contacts, as well as twinax and triaxial contacts.
Typical applications for the HDQX connectors include data networks, in-flight entertainment systems, video control centers, and naval and military vehicle communications. The robust design of the HDQX connector enables high-speed, high-density applications. For example, six 1000Base-T gigabit links are possible with the HDQX by using two parallel Quadrax contacts. In addition, the HDQX can utilize BMA contacts in RF connections at frequencies up to 18 GHz.
The HDQX series also has several other beneficial features such as a center locking device for reliable mating and easy connection, lightweight composite strain relief and the contacts are grounded to the shell for extremely low electrical resistance. With the HDQX, environmental sealing is available with an interfacial sealing on the shell as well as sealing boots on the contacts.

(Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today announced that its HyperCloud(TM) memory module is now part of the MDS Micro Cloud Matrix. The MDS Micro Cloud Matrix provides modular server-based computing blocks that contain core datacenter hardware within a single enclosure including VMware-certified QUADv servers with mass local storage.
Cloud computing infrastructure is often based on elastic hardware platforms that allow on-demand access to virtual machines of varying sizes. This requires that memory, the central processing unit (CPU), and disks be maximized to full potential on each server. HyperCloud increases server utility by maximizing memory instead of adding more CPUs.
"Netlist's offering is unique in that it directly addresses the memory slowness that customers face on a server platform with a large amount of memory," said Tim Myers, senior architect of VMware. "Instead of the speed being reduced, they are able to maintain the faster speeds which provides a better opportunity for customer satisfaction."
With the incorporation of HyperCloud, MDS Micro is now able to provide increased server utility for virtualization applications in the Cloud.
"HyperCloud memory enables the Cloud Matrix to deliver efficient server compute blocks," said Karriem Adams, vice president of sales at MDS Micro. "We've seen significant interest in our Cloud Matrix solution for virtualization applications and we're in need of a technology that can effectively support demanding memory requirements. When evaluating memory solutions, Netlist was the clear winner for its ability to help increase server utility in our Cloud Matrix."
Certification of HyperCloud memory modules on MDS Micro's QUADv for the Cloud Matrix increases server performance to its full potential and enables up to 768GB of memory running at 1333 MT/s.
"Selection by MDS Micro is validation that HyperCloud enables more efficiency in virtualization environments," said Steve McClure, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Netlist. "We are excited to work with MDS Micro on delivering compelling server solutions to support the industry's growth in virtualization and cloud computing applications."
Netlist will demonstrate HyperCloud memory in the MDS Micro QUADv server at the Supercomputing show, taking place November 15-18 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, in booth number 4223.

Plogg, the Configurable ZigBee Smart Plug
GRIMSBY, England, November 15, 2010/PRNewswire/ --
- Plogg Smart Meter Plug Provides Customized Wireless Intelligence for
Smart Homes And Buildings
Energy Optimizers Limited (EOL) (http://www.plogg.co.uk/)
has launched a new version of its existing plug-in electricity meter which
can be configured to host alternative embedded radio modules and modified
for customised user interfaces.
The plogg (http://www.plogg.co.uk/ploggproducts.html) is a combined smart
meter plug and data logger, based on Ember's EM357 ZigBee wireless technology
and Teridian's 6511 metering chip. It can be attached to any electrical
appliance or device that uses a standard mains socket plug in either Schuko,
UK, French or USA mains outlet formats. The plogg stores the measured
electricity data and wirelessly communicates this information to either a PC,
an Internet-linked Ethernet gateway or a ZigBee installed Smart Meter.
The plogg's Software Development Toolkit has been designed specifically
to provide support for systems integrators and developers. Universities
across Europe are using the plogg in a wide range of studies on new designs
for building management and social networking systems. Researchers at the
University of Cyprus have deployed new web enabling technologies on the plogg
using RESTful architecture and 6LoWPAN stack in order to leverage existing
social networking infrastructures such as Facebook into the Smart Home to
give a shared social experience. Research at the Universities of Zaragoza,
Passau and of Kosice, are using the plogg as part of assisted living systems
in the European-wide study, MonAMi.
"Availability of the API was the key factor in our decision to select the
Plogg" said Dr. Alex Rogers of the University of Southampton, "The PC based
manager was useful but the availability of a basic API on which bespoke data
collection code could be built was key."
In commercial installations interoperability with other manufacturer's
smart meters, programmable thermostats, in-premises displays and energy
service portals is achieved with the addition of ZigBee SE, the leading
secure protocol for integrating Home Area Networks with Smart Meters.
About Energy Optimizers Limited
Energy Optimizers Limited (http://www.plogg.co.uk/) manufactures Smart
Grid technologies for load profiling, demand response, distributed generation

GRIMSBY, England, November 15, 2010/PRNewswire/ --
- Plogg Smart Meter Plug Provides Customized Wireless Intelligence for
Smart Homes And Buildings
Energy Optimizers Limited (EOL) (http://www.plogg.co.uk/)
has launched a new version of its existing plug-in electricity meter which
can be configured to host alternative embedded radio modules and modified
for customised user interfaces.
The plogg (http://www.plogg.co.uk/ploggproducts.html) is a combined smart
meter plug and data logger, based on Ember's EM357 ZigBee wireless technology
and Teridian's 6511 metering chip. It can be attached to any electrical
appliance or device that uses a standard mains socket plug in either Schuko,
UK, French or USA mains outlet formats. The plogg stores the measured
electricity data and wirelessly communicates this information to either a PC,
an Internet-linked Ethernet gateway or a ZigBee installed Smart Meter.
The plogg's Software Development Toolkit has been designed specifically
to provide support for systems integrators and developers. Universities
across Europe are using the plogg in a wide range of studies on new designs
for building management and social networking systems. Researchers at the
University of Cyprus have deployed new web enabling technologies on the plogg
using RESTful architecture and 6LoWPAN stack in order to leverage existing
social networking infrastructures such as Facebook into the Smart Home to
give a shared social experience. Research at the Universities of Zaragoza,
Passau and of Kosice, are using the plogg as part of assisted living systems
in the European-wide study, MonAMi.
"Availability of the API was the key factor in our decision to select the
Plogg" said Dr. Alex Rogers of the University of Southampton, "The PC based
manager was useful but the availability of a basic API on which bespoke data
collection code could be built was key."
In commercial installations interoperability with other manufacturer's
smart meters, programmable thermostats, in-premises displays and energy
service portals is achieved with the addition of ZigBee SE, the leading
secure protocol for integrating Home Area Networks with Smart Meters.

VaultWare Announces Free Property Website Program for the Apartment Industry
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Apartment marketing and leasing software provider VaultWare today announced a new program that will allow every apartment community in the United States to have a dedicated property website at no cost. The VaultWare Places program will officially launch in January 2011. On that date, multifamily property managers and owners can visit the self-service site at http://www.VaultWarePlaces.com and follow several simple steps to quickly and easily create their professionally designed website. The VaultWare Places property websites are built specifically for the apartment industry with a focus on leasing apartments and a platform that offers the ability to easily add on value-added features such as mobile capability and apartment reservation functionality among others.
"VaultWare recognizes that a quality, consumer-centric property website is the cornerstone of any successful marketing plan," said Mike Mueller, CEO of Realty DataTrust. "In 2011, we will ensure that every apartment community - regardless of size, grade or budget - is able to cater to online apartment hunters with a highly-effective property website that puts the focus on the apartment shopper's needs, in turn driving more leases."
In most cases, property managers capitalizing on the VaultWare Places program will save hundreds of dollars per month currently being spent on each of their current property websites. These savings can then be reallocated to other marketing and leasing tools that increase the functionality and effectiveness of the VaultWare Places website. In other cases, property managers without a website will finally be able to have a sufficient web presence without the initial and on-going costs.
Initially VaultWare Places will boast multiple templates with various pre-defined color schemes to compliment the property's brand, as well as a content management system designed specifically for managing apartment marketing content. Property managers and owners will appreciate the open architecture of the platform that makes possible the seamless integration with VaultWare's suite of online marketing and leasing solutions, as well as third-party service providers of their choosing such as RentPayment's online rent payments.
Property managers interested in a sneak peak and/or taking advantage of the VaultWare Places program should visit http://www.VaultWarePlaces.com now to sign up to receive immediate notice of the public availability of the program.

Verizon Wireless Bolsters Network Coverage in New Jersey With Eight New Cell Sites

Verizon Wireless Bolsters Network Coverage in New Jersey With Eight New Cell Sites
- Enhanced cell sites keep residents connected to email, music & mobile Web
- Expansion makes service faster and adds reliability to the industry's leading 3G network
- New sites add capacity to industry-leading New York Metro regional service
WARREN, N.J., Nov. 12, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, provider of the nation's largest and most reliable 3G network, today announced the activation of eight new New Jersey cell sites in Flemington, Franklin, Hoboken, Middletown, Packanack Lake, Ridgefield, River Edge and Wayne. Wireless calling, text messaging and mobile Web surfing are now easier and faster for residents and visitors in these communities.
The new sites and their coverage areas include:
-- Flemington, NJ, (Hunterdon County) serves an area from Thatchers Hill
Road south toward Meadow Lane, and from Park Avenue west toward Hinkly
Road. The site was specifically designed to help improve in-building
coverage in downtown Flemington, including Mine Street, Old Croton Road
and North Main Street
-- Franklin, NJ, (Somerset County) serves Lincoln Highway (Route 27) from
Beekman Road to Westminster Road, as well as for two miles along South
Middlebush Road from Claremont Road to Skillmans Lane
-- Hoboken, NJ, (Hudson County) improves coverage in the northern section
of the city from 5th through 15th Streets, as well as along Paterson
Plank Road east toward Park Avenue
-- Middletown, NJ, (Monmouth County) serves the Garden State Parkway from
Exit 114 to Exit 109, as well as Middletown/Lincroft Road from Front
Street to beyond Bamm Hollow Road. It also covers Dwight Road/Nutswamp
Road from the Garden State Parkway to Poicy Pond
-- Packanack Lake, NJ, (Passaic County) serves most of the valley area,
including Route 23 between Packanack Lake Road and Alps Road, as well as
from Ryerson Road east toward Ratzer Road
-- Ridgefield, NJ, (Bergen County) serves the residential areas in
Ridgefield between Bergen Boulevard and Shaler Boulevard, as well as
from Greely Avenue to as far north as Slocum Avenue
-- River Edge, NJ, (Bergen County) serves an area from 5th Avenue east
toward Boulevard, as well as from Tenney Avenue south towards Route 4
-- and Wayne, NJ, (Passaic County) serves the intersection of Hamburg
Turnpike (Route 504) and Alps Road as well as the Preakness Shopping
Center, Berdam Shopping Center, Wayne Hills Mall Shopping Center, and
the surrounding residential areas.
The expanded coverage and increased data capacity enables customers in these areas to enjoy clearer reception, fewer dropped calls and quicker download speeds when using their wireless devices to talk, text, email, view high-quality videos and access VZ Navigator's turn-by-turn directions. Additionally, these network enhancements further boost Verizon Wireless' network reliability, particularly during emergencies such as power outages and extreme weather conditions when wireless communications are needed the most. These new cell sites are part of Verizon Wireless' aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for the company's voice and data services.
"While we already have the largest and most reliable 3G network in the country, we're constantly working on ways to bolster the coverage area and provide our customers with the best service possible," said Pat Devlin, president New York Metro Region for Verizon Wireless. "With the huge increase in the number of Android and other smartphone owners, coverage and data capacity is now more important than ever. Verizon is making sure that we stay ahead of the game by continually adding cell sites and capacity to ensure fast and reliable service to all of our customers throughout New Jersey and the entire New York Metro area."
Nationally, one hundred real-life Verizon Wireless' test men and women drive more than 90 specially-equipped vehicles nearly one million miles each year on the country's most frequently traveled roadways to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

IBM and European Partners to Pioneer New Storage Cloud Architecture

IBM and European Partners to Pioneer New Storage Cloud Architecture
Will provide efficient delivery of data intensive storage services by understanding what's inside the data
HAIFA, Israel, Nov. 12, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding its cloud computing strategy, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that it is leading a joint research initiative of 15 European partners to develop a smart cloud storage architecture, which will improve the global delivery of rich data and storage services across boundaries of countries and vendors. The research project will tackle the major challenges facing today's storage clouds, including: cost-effectiveness, data mobility across cloud providers, security guarantees, and the massive computing power demands that are affecting quality of service. The consortium partners include standards bodies, media companies, telecommunications companies, healthcare companies, academic institutions and more.

The EU-funded initiative, called VISION Cloud - Virtualized Storage Services for the Future Internet - will develop a new approach, where data is represented by smart objects that include rich information describing the content of the data and how the object should be handled, replicated, or preserved. The new architecture will use the knowledge of the content being stored to improve data mobility and enable more efficient and secure methods of computation.
The explosion of personal and enterprise digital data has been specifically recognized as one of the most significant characteristics of the decade. According to one estimate, 150 exabytes (billion gigabytes) of data were generated in 2005. It is estimated that this year, 1,200 exabytes will be produced. Additionally, the explosion of raw data and the dependence on data services is expected to be further amplified due to the strong proliferation of data-intensive services and the continued digital convergence of telco, media and information technology.
"The world is generating data faster than we can store it," explained Kristof Kloekner, IBM VP Strategy & Enterprise Initiatives, Systems & Software & CTO Cloud, "and we've become critically dependant on services that can extract valuable information from the data and help drive better decision making. By optimizing delivery of data-intensive storage services, VISION Cloud will usher in a new era of more flexible, scalable, and secure cloud storage that can be delivered in a pay-per-use model."
Over the last three years, IBM has been actively developing technologies related to cloud computing across its server, software, services and R&D units. Presently, IBM's cloud portfolio includes offering such as IBM Smart Business Development and Test Cloud, IBM Smart Analytics Cloud and the IBM Smart Business Storage Cloud. These offerings allow enterprises to access advanced capabilities over the cloud. The VISION Cloud represents a new initiative, led by IBM Research, to further advance cloud computing technology, making it easier and less costly to develop new data intensive services that provide security and guarantees for quality of service.
"Users now require capabilities that are far richer than simple raw bits and basic storage," noted Dr. Hillel Kolodner, IBM Haifa researcher and lead architect for VISION Cloud. "To satisfy this need, the focus must shift to the data---where the collections of bits are semantically meaningful and have associated metadata. Data should be a first class citizen, where its importance is comparable to the computing power itself. With VISION Cloud, our aim is develop the infrastructure to support this prominence of data and data-intensive services."
The VISION Cloud will introduce a breakthrough storage cloud architecture which combines several new concepts, notably (a) a rich object data model, (b) execution of computations close to the stored content, (c) content-centric access, and (d) full data interoperability. Based on this architecture and the supporting technologies, VISION Cloud will enable the delivery of new classes of rich data-intensive services, offering unprecedented functions and providing high quality of service and security guarantees.
For example, with VISION Cloud, a future provider of storage services could offer a "digital safe" service, where people can safely store their digital information, including photos, videos, health records, financial records, and more. Then, for example, when an expecting mother undergoes a 3D ultrasound, the image is automatically uploaded and stored in her digital safe. This ultrasound is stored together with metadata, such as the date, format, stage of pregnancy, or content description; the metadata is stored as an integral part of the smart 'data object'. She can then give access to family, friends, or editing services, enabling them to download and view the video - no matter what kind of format their device or computer works with. Meanwhile, a radiologist with access to the video finds a slight anomaly and can tag the scan accordingly. The tagging triggers a search in a medical repository, which finds that the probable cause of the anomaly is an allergy medication.
This scenario exercises innovations of the VISION Cloud, including:
-- The data model allows meaningful metadata to be associated with the
scan.
-- Secure access control allows the mother to share the video with her
friends and family
-- Data mobility and interoperability allow her friends and family to view
the video, though they use different storage providers
-- Computational storage provides safe compute power next to the video to
transform it to the appropriate formats and resolutions for the personal
devices of her friends and family. It also provides safe compute power
next to the scan to suggest the diagnosis.
-- Content centric access to the material in her safe allows it to be
organized according to its content and their relationships, thereby
allowing medications to be quickly identified in her medical records.
As another example, a small business may upload its financial records to a cloud to only find out at the end of the year the vendor has raised the prices of it services. Today, unless the small business is willing to pay the increased cost, its only option is to download all of the content and choose another cloud provider. With the technology of VISION Cloud, which is built on open standards, the financial data can easily be transferred from one cloud provider to another, saving the small business the trouble of downloading and securing what could amount to terabytes of data. Alternatively, the small business could have its data split across the two providers. Given the open standards of VISION Cloud, the less expensive provider could offer access to data still residing on the old provider. The transfer of data from the old provider to the new one could begin as a background process or even in an on-demand fashion.
Scientists at IBM Research in Haifa, Israel will lead this research project and the consortium of partners from academia and industry. The partners in this initiative from across academia and industry include IT technology, business software, and service providers: SAP AG, Siemens Corporate Technology, Engineering and ITRicity; telecommunications providers: Telefonica Investigacion y Desarrollo, Orange Labs and Telenor; media service providers: RAI and Deutche Welle; the SNIA Europe standards organization, and leading universities: National Technical University of Athens, Umea University, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, and University of Messina.

The StatSheet network will leverage both real-time sports statistics as well as a proprietary database of over 500 million statistics to generate a level of in-depth analysis and insight on every team, every player, every coach and every game unmatched by any large media website.
"Today marks a sea change in the way sports analysis and insight is provided to fans," said StatSheet Founder and CEO Robbie Allen. "Our technology platform generates content automatically in real-time - the result is a game changing alternative to the current model of sports reporting which is expensive, inefficient and, in many ways, exclusive in that only top teams receive quality coverage."
Every College Hoops Fan in the Country Will Have Access to Premium Team Coverage
Traditionally, sports news has been driven by a few big-name reporters covering the top-ranked teams. Now fans of big schools or small schools, conference powerhouses or tournament hopefuls will have access to the best available coverage of their team.
Each site will include data driven insights and compelling narratives, as well as photo and video highlights. In addition, each site will be accompanied by its own Twitter account, Facebook fan page and mobile application.
Previews, recaps, and over 20 additional article categories are created as soon as the underlying data is generated, so that fans are able to get the analysis they want when they want it. While other sports media companies tout their coverage of local sports teams, StatSheet provides maximum coverage of every team, regardless of the size of the team's fan base or surrounding local population.
"Our goal is to combine insightful content with the most comprehensive statistical analysis available on the web to deliver a fan experience currently not offered anywhere else," said Allen. "Now, fans accessing CardinalsDaily.com, which is StatSheet's site covering Lamar University basketball, will get the same great experience as those following CarolinaUpdate.com, StatSheet's site covering UNC basketball."

Lockheed Martin Leverages Development and Integration Expertise in Bid for Next-Generation Aegis Missile Contract
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) submitted its proposal today to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency for the concept definition and program planning contract for the Next-Generation Aegis Missile.
The Next-Generation Aegis Missile will provide early intercept capability against intermediate- and long-range ballistic missile threats as a key element of the Phased Adaptive Approach, which will provide robust defensive capabilities against regional threats on a global basis. It will be designed for integration into the Aegis Weapon System, with the Aegis BMD 5.1 and the MK 41 Vertical Launching System, both ashore and at sea.
"Lockheed Martin is committed to working in partnership with the Missile Defense Agency and the U.S. Navy to support the Next-Generation Aegis Missile program," said Doug Graham, vice president of advanced programs, Strategic and Missile Defense Systems, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. "Our offer draws upon capabilities across our corporation to define a concept and program plan that provides a best-value solution for this critical addition to our nation's overall missile defense capabilities."
The Missile Defense Agency has announced that the 32-month concept definition and program planning phase will begin in 2011. This phase will focus on defining design objectives, conducting trade studies to establish a technical baseline, reducing technology risk and developing an executable program plan. A competitive product development phase will follow.
Lockheed Martin is a world leader in systems integration and the development of air and missile defense systems and technologies, including the first operational hit-to-kill interceptor. It also has considerable experience in interceptor design and production, infrared seekers, command and control/battle management, and communications, precision pointing and tracking optics, as well as radar and signal processing. The company makes significant contributions to most major U.S. missile defense systems and participates in several global missile defense partnerships.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 133,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's 2009 sales from continuing operations were $44.0 billion.

"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program!" commented Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc. "When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."
In Gran Turismo 5, you can tackle the world's most famous racetracks, rendered in high-definition that is as vivid as the real thing, and get behind the wheel of some of the most legendary cars in motor racing from past to cutting-edge present. An impressive line-up of over 1,000 in-game cars will be featured, including the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, the Lexus LFA and the McLaren MP4-12C. Players will also go head-to-head on famous legacy circuits such as Autumn Ring, Deep Forest Raceway, and the Grand Valley Speedway, in addition to renowned real-life circuits such as Nurburgring and the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
