Kaboodle Launches PopPicks, Community-Driven Online Fashion Sales

Retail Partners Include Moxsie, Karmaloop, Ssense, Ivy Blue and 80sPurple

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 26 -- Kaboodle (http://www.kaboodle.com/), the largest social website for passionate shoppers, today launched PopPicks, an exclusive, members-only online sale destination that allows shoppers everywhere to determine which products are offered at a special price for a limited time.

An ongoing program featuring a new retail partner each week, PopPicks features a collection of products selected by Kaboodle editors in partnership with the featured retailer. Once products are selected, the Kaboodle community is invited to "heart" (vote for) the products they like best.  After four days of voting, the most "hearted" products are made available to Kaboodle members at an exclusive price for four days or until the reserved inventory is sold out. Once the quantities of specially priced items are completely sold, Kaboodlers can still buy the product at its original price. During voting and limited-time sales, Kaboodlers can invite friends to participate via Kaboodle's peer-to-peer messaging system as well as on e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms.

Moxsie, an online fashion retailer featuring independent brands, will be the inaugural launch partner. Explaining the appeal, Julia Kung, Moxsie's director of marketing, said, "PopPicks is a unique way for Moxsie to unveil cutting-edge merchandise to the alpha consumers who appreciate it. The reason PopPicks is so different and appealing is because it allows retailers to present an interactive experience in a participation-rampant environment. Through PopPicks, Moxsie is also able to extend its reach to a very valuable group of sophisticated shoppers in a measurable way."

Additional participating launch partners in the coming weeks include other online fashion favorites, Karmaloop, Ssense, Ivy Blue and 80sPurple.

"As the leader in streetwear online, Karmaloop is always looking for exceptional programs that help us expand our footprint in a meaningful way," said Natasha Chu, Karmaloop's e-commerce manager.  "Kaboodle continues to be on the forefront of innovation when it comes to creating distinctive marketing programs that provide consumers with a unique online shopping experience.  This partnership allows us to broaden our online presence through emerging technology and tap into an increasingly important social dynamic around shopping and purchasing."

The debut of PopPicks reinforces Kaboodle's leadership position in social shopping as it offers a first of its kind platform that directly integrates social commerce into its online shopping community.  Shari Gunn, chief marketing officer at Kaboodle, explains, "At its core, Kaboodle has always been a way for shoppers to discover, share, and interact with products that have been vetted by other shoppers like them. This new feature extends community empowerment and amplifies their collective voice by allowing them to influence what, exactly, is featured during our exclusive sales events. It also provides an innovative e-commerce opportunity and a new revenue stream for Kaboodle."

Initially, PopPicks will feature primarily fashion apparel and accessories. Soon Kaboodle will broaden its offering to include sought-after lifestyle brands in home, beauty and gadgets.

      unprecedented flexibility, reliability and energy-efficiency.
  --  i/o ANYWHERE(TM) includes 100% of the critical infrastructure required
      for an always-on data center. The platform is managed by i/o's
      Operations team and includes primary and backup power generation,
      power conditioning, cooling and network connectivity. At the
      foundation of the i/o ANYWHERE(TM) platform is the i/o OS(TM) - a

      estate. It is an enterprise-grade data center solution managed to a
      100% uptime Service Level Agreement by i/o's industry-leading
      Operations team.

In making the announcement, George Slessman, CEO of i/o, said that, "It is no longer necessary for customers to buy power, cooling, and network connectivity ahead of known requirements or in a location that is not ideal.  i/o ANYWHERE(TM) gives enterprise customers the ability to deploy operational data center capacity wherever and whenever they need it, in or out of a building, on or off the utility grid.

The design provides compartmentalization, continuous cooling, concurrent maintainability and rapid scalability. The platform's modules can be configured, delivered and operational in a matter of weeks due to i/o's direct control over design, manufacturing, installation and operations. This results in faster time-to-market and lower costs.

Unilever Launches The Family Dish...A Recipe for Fun to Reconnect Families Through Cooking Together

New Program Provides Ideas, Recipes and Blogger Diaries to Help Moms Cook Up Quality Time

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., July 26 -- In an increasingly advanced technological world, family members may spend more time looking at a screen than they do at each other.  To help bridge that gap and use those tools to inspire families to enjoy more quality time together, Unilever food brands created The Family Dish...A Recipe for Fun,  a new program encouraging moms to get their families in the kitchen cooking together.

The Family Dish combines budget-friendly and palate-pleasing recipes made with popular pantry staples; the professional knowledge and personal experience of Unilever Consumer Kitchens' experts; and the hands-on stories and videos from trusted mom bloggers to inspire families to connect through discovering the joys of cooking together.

Lauren DellaBella and Anna Marie Cesario, co-managers of the Unilever Consumer Test Kitchens, agree that cooking is a great creative outlet, and the simple acts of mixing and measuring together can lead to "amazing conversations and memories that last a lifetime."  Among the suggestions from Lauren and Anna Marie, both moms themselves, is only using computers or smartphones to access recipes and other cooking-related information.  "This is your chance to simply cook, connect and spend quality time together," advises Ms. DellaBella.

To help get families started, http://www.TheFamilyDish.com features an exclusive cookbook with easy-to-prepare, family-friendly recipes from the Unilever Consumer Test Kitchens, and tips from the trusted brands supporting the program: Ragu® Pasta Sauce, Hellmann's® / Best Foods® Mayonnaise, Knorr® Pasta and Rice Sides, Skippy® Peanut Butter, and Lipton® Recipe Secrets®.

Our featured Mom bloggers, Linda Sellers (Short Pump Preppy), Jennifer Leet (The Dirty Shirt), Beth Davis (Plus Size Mommy), Tracy Reinhardt (Crazy Suburban Mom), Liz Latham (Hoosier Homemade), Carol Cain (NYCity Mama), April Atwater (Sweet Life in the Valley), Cheryl Sousan (Tidy Mom), Jennifer Schmidt (Beauty and Bedlam), Jill Ann Berry (Musings from Me), Lisa Douglas (Crazy Adventures in Parenting), and Heather Durdil (Domestic Extraordinaire) will post video diaries and written posts on The Family Dish website showing their hands-on experiences turning cooking dinner time into quality time with their families.

Also fun for the whole family is a chance to win a Family Culinary Vacation to Orlando by entering "The Family Dish Contest," which asks families to share their own experiences cooking together.  From July 25 to August 30, 2010, families can enter "The Family Dish Contest" by visiting thefamilydish.com and uploading a video about their best experiences cooking as a family.  Twenty semi-finalist videos will be posted on the site for public voting to choose a winner. Public voting will take place from September 15-30, 2010. Official rules are available at http://www.thefamilydish.com.

The Family Dish: The Right Ingredients

"The Family Dish combines quality products and ingredients with quality time in a way that is fun and affordable for the whole family and, most of all, meaningful," said Donna Barker, Senior Marketing Director, Center of Store, at Unilever.  "As people look to do more with less, a well-stocked refrigerator and pantry that include versatile and easy-to-prepare ingredients can help make meals that stretch the family budget without sacrificing taste."

All great recipes start with quality ingredients, and Unilever food brands make a variety of family favorites that bring added taste, at a great value, to the table:

  --  Moms can feel good about cooking up recipes with her family using
      Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise (called Best Foods® west of the Rockies)
      because it's made with real, simple ingredients like eggs, oil and
      vinegar. For the same great taste and velvety, smooth creaminess,
      Hellmann's® Light has half the fat and calories and all the great
      taste of Real Mayonnaise, and is now made with 100% cage-free eggs.
  --  With Knorr®, every meal is an opportunity.  Knorr® Sides and Knorr®
      Sides Plus(TM) Veggies make it easy for families to spend time
      together cooking in the kitchen with one-dish meals like Chicken &
      Broccoli Alfredo.  Just stir in some veggies and chicken along with a
      Knorr® pasta or rice side and dinner is done!
  --  Everyone loves pasta night, right?  And moms love Ragu® Pasta Sauce
      because it contains a full serving of veggies in every half cup of
      sauce to feed the family well. Families can make hundreds of
      nutritious, convenient, delicious and affordable meals with Ragu®,
      including No Boiling Lasagna and No Frying Chicken Parmesan.
  --  For peanut butter lovers, Skippy® Peanut Butter has a creamy taste and
      plenty of varieties to fuel the fun for each member of the family.
      Moms love that it's naturally rich in protein and other essential
      nutrients.
  --  Whether making a tasty burger, zesty chicken fajitas or a filling
      stew, families can add Lipton® Recipe Secrets® to bring a little zing
      to their favorite dish.

Ruckus Wireless Takes the Guess Work Out of Wireless LAN Design with the Introduction of ZonePlanner(TM)

Teams with AirMagnet/Fluke Networks to Simplify Wireless Deployment with Wireless Planning Tool Customized for Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi Access Points

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 26 -- Ruckus Wireless(TM), the smart mobile networking company, announced today that it has joined forces with AirMagnet, now part of Fluke Networks, to introduce ZonePlanner(TM), a wireless LAN (WLAN) network planning tool designed specifically for use with Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi access points (APs).

ZonePlanner combines technology advancements from AirMagnet and Ruckus Wireless and integrates directional high-gain antenna patterns derived from BeamFlex, the Ruckus-patented and award-winning smart antenna array, with AirMagnet's industry leading planning tools. With ZonePlanner, network managers can more easily and accurately plan, design, deploy and manage Ruckus Smart WLAN networks in any indoor environment.

Unlike other Wi-Fi APs on the market that use omni-directional dipole antennas to blindly radiate Wi-Fi energy in all directions, each Ruckus ZoneFlex AP integrates a high-gain directional smart antenna array that constantly focuses and directs Wi-Fi energy over the best performing signal paths to increase throughput and channel capacity while also significantly improving reliability and range.

"The combination of Ruckus ZoneFlex APs with the new ZonePlanner effectively takes all the guess work out of accurately designing and deploying a wireless LAN," said Brian Young, president of inVision Networks, a leading network solutions provider. "The planning process with Ruckus APs is already simple because not only do we need far fewer APs to cover a given area with their smart antenna array, the APs automatically adjust Wi-Fi signals to real-time changes in the environment," said Young. "Combining this technology with a low-cost, custom planning tool radically reduces the upfront time it normally takes to plan a wireless network and this detailed level of planning really streamlines deployment and network support with complete reports, bills of material, and accurate placement."

Great Wi-Fi Networks Start with a Great Design

Accurate network planning is one of the most critical steps to successful Wi-Fi deployment, while poor planning leads to over-spending on infrastructure and results in spotty coverage and unhappy users. ZonePlanner is ideal for designing and estimating Wi-Fi deployments before any installation of APs.

ZonePlanner supports all Ruckus ZoneFlex single and dual-band indoor APs.  Planners can calculate and optimize AP counts, layout and configuration - adding Ruckus APs to any location and experimenting to find the ideal AP placement for the environment. It allows network managers to design and visualize Wi-Fi environments that account for different types of building materials, areas of signal attenuation, AP configuration and antenna patterns to provide a predictive map of Wi-Fi coverage and performance.

By simply loading in a map of the location and using the built-in library of doors, walls and windows to match the building's characteristics, ZonePlanner makes it very easy to build a detailed model of any Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi environment. The WLAN plans can be further customized to account for cubicles, offices, elevators, a variety of warehouse obstructions and any user-defined building materials and obstructions.

Affordably designed for Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart WLAN environments, ZonePlanner contains only Ruckus BeamFlex antenna patterns and features built-in and editable attenuation values for obstructions such as walls, windows and doors.  Other ZonePlanner capabilities include WLAN throughput estimations, manual or automatic AP placement and signal coverage maps that take into consideration both transmit power and antenna gain.

With ZonePlanner, administrators can set AP channels, transmit power, antenna type, orientation, height and advanced 802.11n configuration options. When the planning session is complete, professional reports are easily generated with all the information required to properly install the network complete with a bill of materials list of required Ruckus APs and their ideal placement and configuration settings.

Pricing and Availability

Available immediately, ZonePlanner is priced at US $495 for end users and comes with one year of free support.  Deeply discounted not-for-resale (NFR) packages are available to Ruckus BIG DOG channel partners upon request.

Navigating Cancer Launches Pioneering Online Medical History Application for Cancer Patients

Unique and personalized online system improves accuracy and quality of health information provided by patients to their healthcare team

SEATTLE, July 26 -- Navigating Cancer is putting the power of cancer treatment advocacy and management into the hands of cancer patients. The free website, which empowers cancer patients to take an active role in their care and partner more closely with their physicians during treatment, has created a unique medical history form that enables patients to manage and update their medical history on demand.

Many cancer patients see a number of doctors and specialists throughout diagnosis and treatment, with each new visit requiring a lengthy medical history form. Navigating Cancer's online system streamlines the process as patients can log their information on the site, creating a 360-degree view of their health that can be saved, edited and printed prior to each meeting with members of their healthcare team. It puts more accountability into patients' hands while providing them with a comprehensive overview of their own care.

For oncology clinics, the medical history form ensures their healthcare team is receiving the most accurate, complete and up-to-date information, enabling them to provide patients with the best care. In addition, it will save them time and money by eliminating the need for mailing new patient intake forms.

"We're enhancing our patient intake process using Navigating Cancer's Medical History Forms. Instead of mailing out forms to patients, we're asking them to fill out their information online prior to coming to their appointment, which will allow us not only to save time but to get a complete medical history from patients when they have the information readily available." - Lynn Sawyer, Practice Administrator, Hematology & Oncology Consults, Orlando, FL

Information gathered includes a thorough review of systems, patient history, insurance information, previous cancer and other conditions, family medical history, social and lifestyle habits and health maintenance. Patients can also use Navigating Cancer's daily health tracking tools to record treatment and medication symptoms and side effects, allowing their healthcare team to optimize their care based on factual data.

"As a cancer survivor, I wish Navigating Cancer's medical history form would have been available during my treatment. To have a database where I can store all my info and have access to it whenever I need it is really wonderful. This would have saved me the hassle of filling out the same forms over and over for each new doctor visit. As a life coach that works with cancer patients, I will recommend this to all my clients." - Robert Scholl, InsightCoaching.us

Patients can save and edit their medical history on Navigating Cancer's secure website, which uses SSL encryption, the same technology used by banks for online transactions.

Oncology professionals can visit Navigating Cancer to learn more about our online medical history form features and benefits, or can email info@navigatingcancer.com to schedule a demo.

There is also a dedicated page for patients outlining the features and benefits of the medical history form specifically for them.

About Navigating Cancer

Navigating Cancer (http://www.navigatingcancer.com) is dedicated to empowering cancer patients to navigate their best care. Navigating Cancer is a free application that offers personalized tools and authoritative cancer resources to help patients take control of their health and partner more closely with their physicians support network and other like patients. The company was founded in 2008 by technology and healthcare veterans and is based in Seattle, Washington.

Accel-KKR to Sell iTradeNetwork to Roper Industries for $525 Million

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 26 -- Accel-KKR, a technology-focused private equity investment firm, today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to sell iTradeNetwork (ITN), the leading global provider of on-demand supply chain management software and business intelligence solutions to the food industry, to Roper Industries (NYSE:ROP) for $525 million in cash.

iTradeNetwork's collaborative solutions allow distributors, manufacturers, operators, retailers, suppliers and wholesalers of all sizes to reduce cost, grow revenue and strengthen trading partner relationships. It has more than 6,200 customers, including 16 of the top 20 food retailers/wholesalers, 75 of the top 100 food manufacturers, 50 of the top 50 distributors, 8 of the top 20 restaurant chains and 4 of the top 6 foodservice management companies.

Accel-KKR acquired a minority equity position in Pleasanton, California-based iTradeNetwork in February 2006 and subsequently acquired a majority interest in the company in December 2007.  With Accel-KKR's financial and strategic backing, iTradeNetwork acquired Instill Corporation in June 2008 and Amphire Corporation in September 2008; expanded its suite of products; and extended the company's geographic footprint.

Roper provides engineered products and solutions for global niche markets, including water, energy, radio frequency and research/medical applications.  iTradeNetwork offers products and services that are highly complementary to those provided by Roper's technology solutions division.  The transaction is expected to allow iTradeNetwork to leverage Roper's global presence to introduce its products and services across a broader range of geographic markets.

Tom Barnds, Managing Director of Accel-KKR, said, "It has been a pleasure to work with Rob Bonavito and the dedicated team at iTradeNetwork to build, both organically and through acquisitions, the leading company in the foodservice software market.  We are delighted by the success that iTradeNetwork enjoyed during our partnership, which included more than tripling its revenues and EBITDA, yet we are pleased to see the company become part of a global leader like Roper Industries as it embarks upon the next stage of its development."

Rob Bonavito, CEO of iTradeNetwork, said, "We have truly enjoyed working closely with the team at Accel-KKR, who have delivered on each of their commitments to help us grow our company.  The results speak for themselves.  We could not have had better partners."

Jason Klein, Managing Director of Accel-KKR, said, "Our investment in iTradeNetwork is another example of Accel-KKR's successful track record of partnering with outstanding management teams to help them expand their businesses.  We are excited for Rob and the entire iTradeNetwork team as they continue to build their business as part of Roper."

Early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 was granted on July 22, and the transaction is expected to close over the next week.  Jefferies & Company, Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as financial advisors to iTradeNetwork in the transaction.

Imagine Acquires Clearwire Operations in Ireland

DUBLIN, July 26, 2010--     Imagine Communications Group, the broadband and phone company rolling out
4G WiMax across Ireland as an alternative access to the existing Eircom
network, today announced it has acquired Clearwire's Irish operations.

    Clearwire has a significant telecoms infrastructure in Ireland which will
now be used by Imagine as it continues a EUR100 million national roll-out of
the high speed wireless network WiMax.

    Following the Clearwire transaction, Imagine now has nearly 400 high
sites nationwide to facilitate the rapid roll out of the WiMax network.

    "This is a very significant and strategic deal for us as Clearwire is one
of the world's leading 4G operators," said Mr. Brian O'Donohoe, MD of Imagine
Communications Group.

    "Key network and operational assets, as well as a talented technical
team, will serve as a solid launch pad for expanding service and making 4G
mobile broadband a reality across Ireland," Mr. O'Donohoe said.

    Imagine gained 50mHz of spectrum when purchasing Irish Broadband in 2008,
added more spectrum in a Comreg process in 2009, and with Clearwire Ireland
Limited's spectrum now has over 120mHz of crucial 3.4/3.6mHz spectrum.

    This will enable Imagine to take full advantage of the WiMax technology,
which is expected to deliver speeds of 100mbits to consumers and businesses
in the near future.

    As part of the transaction, Clearwire will become a minority shareholder
and will nominate a representative to Imagine's board of directors. Other
specific financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

    Imagine expects that the WiMax network will cover 90 per cent of Ireland
within two years, with prices undercutting Eircom by 50 per cent.

    Imagine Communications Group is a pan-European communications provider.
The Group has substantial business operations in Europe with overall network
reach extending to Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, Austria, Norway and the
USA.

    In Ireland Imagine provides fixed voice, broadband, IP and ISP services.
Imagine is the No. 2 business telecoms company in Ireland and provides
services to 17,000 businesses.

    Imagine is led by its founder, Sean Bolger, an Irish Telecoms
Entrepreneur who has founded and operated businesses in fixed, mobile and
data telecommunications services for nearly 20 years.

    Other Irish shareholders include leading global private equity investor
DFJ Esprit and leading utility and renewable energy player NTR.

You Are Never Too Sexy to Conquer the World - AbizArk.com Promotes Online Lingerie Shop

NEW YORK, July 26 -- As a promising online business solutions provider, BizArk Service Ltd. has begun helping a newly-born online lingerie store, http://www.thesexylingerie.co.uk/ in expanding market share and attracting more publicity. According to information provided by Abizark.com, it is known that thesexylingerie.co.uk has been created to help women express their inner beauty and power. Bolstered with creative designs and competitive prices, the store is awaiting its first customers.

The concept of sexy lingerie was first developed in the late nineteenth century. Women used to wear sexy lingerie in order to fix their body figure and attract more admiration, but after over 100 years of development, the modern designers have given a new definition of sexy lingerie.

"Women are no longer wearing sexy lingerie for men," -- this conclusion sounds somewhat shocking, but Victoria Cadden, the Marketing Director of http://www.thesexylingerie.co.uk/ holds onto her attitude about modern lingerie trends. "Sexy lingerie is not only the symbol of wild and spicy, but also the illustration of women's unique feminine charm, confidence and individuality. We are doing it only to help bring out women's inner beauty and power toward the world; they are never too sexy to conquer the world."

http://www.abizark.com is trying to find out what women want to please themselves, which shows their rising self-awareness. Few women are satisfied with their figure until they put on a piece of delicate, comfortable and glamorous lingerie. The lingerie makes them feel beloved whether they are single or not.

"They would appreciate what they see and look into the mirror more frequently. That's exactly what I want in my products. A woman would be so surprised at how God created her - such a uniquely beautiful existence, as if she's born to be loved," Victoria added when asked about her opinions on the symbolic meaning of lingerie.

Lingerie is the reflection of what's happening on women during every period. From the time when lingerie was considered an ugly thing to the days when girls are crazy about buying sexy lingerie online, the river didn't even stop for a second. Online lingerie shops sell not only products, but also the confidence, the self-awareness and the power of beauty. Abizark.com is looking forward a new era of feminine charm and there's nothing sexier than waiting to watch a grand opening.

About Thesexylingerie.co.uk

http://www.thesexylingerie.co.uk/ is an outstanding representative of B2C business practices. It is based in China with supply products from Wenzhou and Shenzhen. Thesexylingerie.co.uk now has become one of the biggest online sexy lingerie shops in Asia.

NetDimensions' mEKP Takes Learning to the Field

NetDimensions Set to Revolutionize Training Delivery with World's First Truly

Portable LMS

HONG KONG, July 26 -- NetDimensions (London Stock Exchange, AIM: NETD), a global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, announced today the commercial release of a revolutionary new product, mobile EKP (mEKP).

"We believe that mEKP is the world's first full-featured personal learning environment that runs completely off a USB flash drive - no installation required," said NetDimensions Managing Director and CEO Jay Shaw. "There are any number of offline players that do simple course tracking. They generally install on Windows machines and have limited functionality. This is different," he added.

mEKP is the end-user version of the Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) learning and performance management system, NetDimensions' flagship product. mEKP runs directly from a USB flash drive or other storage device and can be accessed via browser on Windows and Mac OS computers.

"Our commitment to a component-based, open standards architecture in EKP is what makes mEKP work," said NetDimensions Chief Information Officer Ray Ruff. "Form-factor and user personalization flexibility is a reflection of that commitment."

A truly portable e-learning environment, mEKP supports not only courseware and exam delivery, career development reviews, news articles and end-user reporting but also direct, tracked access to technical documentation, maintenance and operating procedures, full-motion videos, high bandwidth graphics and other workforce content libraries.

The mEKP system features the same security options and permissions settings as EKP and supports high-level encryption of flash drive content. The recommended default encryption containers comply with the U.S. government approved Advanced Encryption Standard.

Current NetDimensions clients can deploy mEKP as an additional EKP service; mEKP is designed to periodically synchronize updated user data with a linked "master" EKP.

Companies that use other learning and human resource management systems can deploy a mEKP network configured to transfer data to and from their existing systems.

Designed for Disconnected and Mobile Workforces

mEKP is designed for organizations with employees who work at remote locations and have limited or restricted Internet connectivity. Expected user groups include workers on offshore oil rigs, ships and submarines as well as private and public sector employees working in places where bandwidth may be prohibitively expensive or where training materials such as videos and simulations are simply too large for practical network-based delivery.

mEKP can be deployed to field-based workforces, including to sales people, airline crew, first responders, military personnel and public utilities staff.

At the same time, mEKP addresses the challenge of delivering training to new recruits and to employees who have limited access to computers in the workplace, for example, to floor staff in factories, stores, restaurants and hospitals.

"Our experience with clients around the world tells us that people find uses for our products we can't even imagine when we introduce the products," noted Shaw. "We're sure the same will be true for mEKP."

Imperva Launches Hacker Intelligence Initiative

Two New Hacking Schemes Uncovered Using Surveillance & Hack-Back Techniques

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 26 -- Imperva, the leader in data security, announced today its hacker intelligence initiative (HII), a research effort focused on providing deeper insight on how cybercriminals conduct large scale cyber attacks as well as shedding light on the evolution of the underground business of cybercrime. Part of Imperva's Application Defense Center (ADC), the hacker intelligence initiative will investigate the anatomy of attacks as well as key hacking trends by exploring the cybercrime industry utilizing techniques including hack-back, forum monitoring and internet traffic surveillance.

"Today, security research focuses heavily on vulnerabilities and problems. But to truly protect an organization, security professionals must have a deep understanding of their enemy," said Amichai Shulman, Imperva's CTO, referencing Sun Tzu's observation, 'If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.'

Imperva's HII researchers will conduct and release research on attacks as they are uncovered. To date, the HII has released research on four significant cybercrime activities, among others:

  --  Pyramid-Scam Phishing Scheme: Employing simple hack-back techniques,
      Imperva uncovered a pyramid scam-style phishing scheme where a
      sophisticated hacker siphons data from individual phishing attacks
      through a backdoor in a phishing kit; the attack also capitalizes on a
      second drop-server to store stolen data.
  --  Start-to-Finish Execution of a Cross-Site Scripting Attack: By
      observing the hacker's own vulnerable code, Imperva was able to
      witness a XSS attack impacting 3000 individuals; Imperva found that
      XSS attacks require little expertise and less than an hour to
      carry-out when using readily available tutorials and free hosting
      sites.
  --  New Type of DDoS Attack: By monitoring a TOR, Imperva traced DDoS
      attacks to find that, unlike traditional botnets made up of infected
      PCs, the attacks were leveraging a botnet of infected servers,
      creating a stronger, more effective and less-discoverable attack.
  --  The publication of 32 million passwords: By monitoring hacker forums,
      Imperva uncovered a list of user passwords for the popular site
      RockYou and provided analysis of the most commonly used words and
      phrases.

"Cybercrime is a business like any other," continued Shulman. "Hackers are becoming more automated and their techniques are sophisticated and industrialized. Modern cyber defenses need to keep pace with this growing industry and our intelligence initiative will help uncover the trends, techniques and tactics utilized by today's cybercriminals."

About Imperva

Imperva, the Data Security leader, enables a complete security lifecycle for business databases and the applications that use them. With more than 1,500 direct customers and 25,000 cloud customers, Imperva's customers include leading enterprises, government organizations, and managed service providers who rely on Imperva to prevent sensitive data theft, protect against data breaches, secure applications, and ensure data confidentiality.

VODone Launches New Website

Builds Mini-Video News Portal with Famous Star Hosts

HONG KONG, July 26 -- VODone Limited ("VODone" or the "Group", Stock code: 0082), a leading internet video broadcasting new media company in China today held a press conference in Beijing for the debut of the new website address of VODone's mini-video news portal. The move signifies that VODone, a state-owned new media company which processes the fullest set of qualifications in China, has begun to expand into the internet mini-video field.

At the press conference, VODone showed the public a brand new website address which is easy to remember and a distinctive new logo for its news portals in China. The new website address " http://www.v1.cn/ " tends to gain good brand awareness. The new logo in red, white and black demonstrates the fashion and internationalization of VODone as a strong new-media enterprise in China.

VODone Group is a new media enterprise which owns VODone mini-video news portal and its derivatives including "Caishijie" which covers all kinds of lotteries sold through different channels, "Linfo", an interesting, practical and free mobile social networking community, mobile game (Dragon Joyce/KKfun) and VODone Broadcasting Union System.

VODone's brand new mini-video news portal will present 16 hours of live internet video programs with self-produced mini-videos and 19 hours and 30 minutes of live mobile network radio programs.

Major SUV Fuel Economy Gains, Technology, Style Highlight Reinvention of Ford Explorer

DEARBORN, Mich., July 26 --   --  Ford reinvents the Explorer SUV with best-in-class fuel economy,
      improved driving dynamics and terrain management system - all wrapped
      in a modern, weight-saving design

  --  Explorer raises the bar on safety with a class-leading array of
      airbags including industry-first inflatable rear seat belts, Trinity
      front impact structure, AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability
      Control(TM)) and Curve Control functionality

  --  Explorer features MyFord Touch(TM) driver connect technology and SYNC®
      integrated communications and entertainment system to help keep a
      driver's eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Explorer offers more
      technology than in-class competitors, rivaling content found in
      premium SUVs

Ford Explorer - the vehicle that defined a segment - has been completely reinvented, raising customers' expectations of sport utility vehicle (SUV) fuel efficiency, safety, technology, capability and quality.

"The all-new Explorer will deliver today's SUV buyers the attributes they really want and value, and a few they might not even have dreamed of," said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas. "We're proud to introduce the new Explorer to customers and fans around the world today and pleased to begin a whole new era that blends strong SUV fuel economy and performance."

The all-new Explorer launches today to its Facebook friends in a unique social media initiative, followed by reveal events throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Shattering SUV fuel economy and performance expectations

"The new Explorer simply does everything well," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. "It raises the bar for ride and handling on the road and transforms the off-road experience. It's the hands-down winner for towing capability and ease. All this capability - and three rows of seating - with amazing fuel economy will make Explorer the absolute right choice for families with a sense of adventure."

The 2011 Explorer with V6 power is expected to deliver more than 20 percent better fuel economy than the 2010 model, shattering conventional expectations for SUV fuel efficiency. When equipped with the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost(TM) I-4 engine, Explorer fuel economy is expected to improve by more than 30 percent and exceed the 2010 Honda Pilot and 2010 Toyota Highlander V6.

Chief Nameplate Engineer Jim Holland said the team targeted two key objectives when developing the 2011 Ford Explorer.

"It had to look modern and contemporary - inside and out - yet be instantly recognizable as an Explorer," said Holland. "Next, the new Explorer needed to deliver the fuel economy today's customers want, combined with the performance, capability and empowerment they expect from an SUV."

Driven by the commitment to give customers unsurpassed fuel efficiency with each new vehicle, Ford attacked every detail to transform Explorer with significantly improved fuel economy:

  --  Twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT)
  --  Latest Ford EcoBoost engine
  --  Six-speed automatic transmissions
  --  Electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) to significantly reduce
      parasitic power loss
  --  Intelligent four-wheel drive (4WD)
  --  Variable-displacement air-conditioning compressor
  --  Optimized tires for reduced rolling resistance
  --  Slippery aerodynamics with harmonized front air dam and rear liftgate
      spoiler

Weight reduction is a key element in improving Explorer fuel efficiency. While adding significant content to the vehicle, engineers were able to reduce total vehicle weight by almost 100 pounds through the use of lighter materials such as an aluminum hood. Explorer weight loss is even more impressive, as the latest versions of Honda Pilot and Toyota 4Runner have added pounds versus previous models.

Explorer's available advanced 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 delivers the power of a normally aspirated V6 without compromising four-cylinder fuel economy. Aimed at the SUV buyer whose top priority is fuel economy, this turbocharged and intercooled I-4 engine delivers a projected 237 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 250 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,700 through 4,000 rpm. The EcoBoost employs direct injection of gasoline, Ti-VCT, direct-acting mechanical bucket (DAMB) valve lifters and four valves per cylinder.

Explorer's standard powertrain combines front-wheel drive with a 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine, delivering an estimated 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. Ti-VCT allows individually optimized camshaft timing of valve opening and closing events to improve mechanical efficiency while delivering increased power and reducing part-throttle emissions. Mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, this powerful, flexible and efficient V6 is projected to deliver more than 20 percent better fuel economy versus the previous Explorer V6 model.

Explorer's variable-displacement air-conditioning compressor provides a fuel economy benefit with less drag and smoother transition for improved driveability.

Each Explorer engine is paired with a unique six-speed automatic transmission, combining lowered initial gears for improved off-the-line acceleration and higher gearing for improved efficiency at lower engine rpm when cruising.

Explorer V6 models are available with an intelligent 4WD system that adds terrain management. Situation-selectable, this powertrain advancement takes the guesswork out of 4WD range choice.

A driver need only turn the console-mounted knob to the proper setting among snow, sand, mud and normal modes. This system also includes a hill descent mode.

Simpler and more convenient for SUV veterans, the system will be a confidence-builder for drivers new to the segment.

Contemporary design with segment-leading craftsmanship and quietness

In addition to its clean, modern design inside and out, Explorer aims to please SUV shoppers with a thoughtful, flexible interior package that abounds with clever storage capacity. The new SUV features more head and shoulder room, three rows of flexible seating, and room for everything families want to take along on their adventures.

The Explorer design - inside and out - is executed with world-class craftsmanship. Tight margin gaps are just one indication of the immense attention to detail applied to craftsmanship across the spectrum, from design to engineering to manufacturing.

The Chicago facility where Explorer will be produced raised the bar on initial quality measures with the recent Taurus launch, which is good news for customers.

"Crafting a high-quality vehicle is like preparing a gourmet meal," said Peter Bejin, craftsmanship supervisor. "You start with high-quality ingredients, execute your recipe with flawless preparation and finally, present it with flair and panache."

Quietness - another profound advancement in the all-new 2011 Ford Explorer - also will signal quality to customers.

The team enhanced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control for the all-new Explorer using an advanced technology called NoiseVision. A ball with hundreds of tiny cameras and microphones, NoiseVision allows engineers to pinpoint and address potential noise issues earlier in the development process.

Explorer is expected to be superior to in-segment competitors and rival premium SUVs in quietness and NVH control.

Explorer safety - strength, technology and innovation

The all-new Explorer targets top safety ratings with a stiff unibody structure and a class-leading suite of active and passive safety features and technologies, plus another Ford safety innovation - the world's first second-row inflatable rear belts.

Rear seat passengers - often children or mature passengers - can be more vulnerable to head, chest and neck injuries. Ford's unique inflatable rear belts spread impact forces across more than five times the area than conventional seat belts, reducing pressure on the chest while helping to control head and neck motion. Belt comfort should also help increase usage rates. Studies show inflatable belts to be more comfortable for passengers due to padding.

From the boron front bumper beam through the hydroformed front frame rails and high-strength steel side-impact tubes, Explorer's rigid body structure is designed to provide robust protection for occupants. In the instance of a crash, these elements come together to protect Explorer driver and passengers inside a safety cage of strength.

  Standard Explorer safety features include:
  --  AdvanceTrac with RSC features Curve Control functionality to provide
      braking - optimized by each individual wheel
  --  Second-generation first-row airbags, side seat airbags
  --  Belt-Minder® for driver and first-row passenger
  --  Front passenger sensing system
  --  Energy-management system pretensioning for height-adjustable first-row
      seat belts
  --  LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system for outboard
      second-row positions, for safely securing child safety seats
  --  SOS Post-Crash Alert System(TM)
  --  Safety Canopy® side curtain airbags
  --  Tire Pressure Monitoring System

  Available Explorer safety features include:
  --  Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support
  --  BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert

  Stretching the breadth of capability

The 2011 Ford Explorer redefines customer expectations for driving dynamics and comfort - on any road, anytime, anywhere - while stretching the breadth of SUV capability. Transforming Explorer's driving quality was central to creating an SUV for 21st century customers.

"Our objectives for Explorer dynamics were threefold," said Carl Widmann, vehicle engineering manager. "The first element was to greatly increase on-road comfort, capability and driving dynamics. The second was to maintain the 'any road, anytime, anywhere' capability of the previous model. Finally, we aimed to apply technology to the task of safely towing, as V6 Explorer models are rated up to 5,000 pounds. We think customers will be pleased with the next-generation Explorer on all three counts."

The theme of the all-new Explorer dynamics development was balance. The team sought to provide an engaging driver experience in harmony with the extended breadth of 4WD capability to build driver confidence.

The shift to a unibody construction platform enabled a reduction in road noise and significantly decreased Explorer body roll in dynamic cornering situations. Independent front suspension is of the short- and long-arm configuration with a 32-millimeter front stabilizer bar. Independent rear suspension is the SR1 configuration, so-named for its one-to-one shock absorber ratio, which enables precise ride control.

Explorer's EPAS system allows for variable rates of assistance based on speed, turn-in and direction. In addition to optimized steering feel, tight on-centering and appropriate resistance, EPAS provides a fuel economy benefit in comparison to traditional hydraulic power assist systems. EPAS also enables a competitive turning radius for optimum maneuverability in parking situations, combined with increased assistance at low speeds for parking ease.

EPAS allows for the addition of Curve Control, a new feature that senses when a driver enters a turn too quickly and applies brake pressure to stabilize the vehicle.

In addition, EPAS enables the optional active park assist technology. When activated, the system scans for a suitable spot, calculates the trajectory, and steers the vehicle. The driver continues to control brake and throttle inputs, but the system steers the vehicle throughout the parking maneuver.

Off-roading standout on a variety of surfaces

The key to Explorer 4WD capability is Ford's new terrain management system.

Replacing the traditional SUV transfer case configuration, the new system takes the guesswork out of maximizing 4WD and the capabilities it enables. Rather than employment of four-high, four-low and auto settings, Explorer terrain management is selectable by situation. The four settings - available by shift-on-the-fly - include normal, mud, sand and snow.

Each setting provides unique engine behavior, throttle tip-in, transmission shift scheduling and calibrations for traction and stability control systems. Terrain management also includes Hill Descent Control(TM), which provides engine braking to increase driver confidence and control when descending a steep incline.

Explorer models with V6 power are rated to tow a maximum of 5,000 pounds. To aid with hookup - especially when alone - a reverse camera with zoom-in functionality is available, allowing a driver to back up to the trailer on-center. The Explorer towing package includes trailer sway control - a stability package shared with the Ford F-150 pickup - to help minimize trailer sway. Trailer brake controller wiring is also included, as is a tow/haul mode. Engaging tow/haul mode increases engine braking to help slow the vehicle and trailer when descending steep grades.

Loaded with features, convenience and connectivity

The all-new Explorer is available in three trim series levels - base, XLT and Limited. Each offering presents a robust array of standard features, with a class-leading selection of additional convenience and connectivity options so a buyer can tailor a new Explorer to his or her individual needs and desires.

  Standard convenience features include:
  --  MyFord driver connect technology including 4.2-inch LCD screen
  --  MyKey(TM) owner control feature
  --  Air filtration system
  --  Media hub
  --  Easy Fuel® capless fuel filler system
  --  Cruise control
  --  Power windows, with one-touch down for driver
  --  Power door locks with child safety rear door locks
  --  Tilt/telescoping steering column
  --  Four 12-volt power points
  --  Cargo hooks

  Explorer XLT includes standard content and adds:
  --  Automatic headlamps
  --  Six-speed SelectShift Automatic(TM)
  --  Heated sideview mirrors with LED signal indicators and security
      approach lamps
  --  SecuriCode(TM) keyless entry keypad
  --  Reverse sensing system
  --  Perimeter alarm

  Explorer Limited includes all base and XLT content, plus:
  --  PowerFold® sideview mirrors with driver's side memory
  --  Ambient lighting
  --  Adjustable pedals with memory functionality
  --  Cargo net
  --  Dual-zone electronic temperature control
  --  10-way power driver's seat, with power recline and lumbar
  --  Electrochromic interior mirror
  --  Rear view camera
  --  Remote start system
  --  110-volt outlet
  --  MyFord Touch driver connect technology
  --  Intelligent Access with push-button start
  --  Universal garage door opener

"We spent our time listening to customers and addressing their needs to launch an SUV that reinvigorates the Explorer nameplate and delivers on Ford's promise of high-quality, fuel-efficient and technologically advanced vehicles with industry-leading safety," said Holland. "The all-new Explorer will change market perceptions about SUV style, fuel efficiency, technology and user-friendliness."

The 2011 Explorer will be assembled at Ford's Chicago manufacturing facility. Production begins late this year, and Explorer will be available in dealerships this winter.

Barclaycard Contactless Technology Rolls Out Across Co-Operative Stores Nationwide

NORTHAMPTON, England, July 23 -- Barclaycard joins forces with The Co-operative Food as it becomes the UK's first major grocery retailer to introduce contactless payment in its stores nationwide.

The contactless roll-out will begin with a pilot in 100 Co-operative food stores next year after an agreement was signed with Barclaycard in partnership with Visa. If the pilot is successful, The Co-operative will roll out the terminals to the majority of its food stores in time for the 2012 Olympics, which is being billed as a contactless event, where visitors are expected to experience the full convenience of contactless payment on transport, tickets and other low value purchases.

Contactless payment allows customers to make purchases of 15 pounds Sterling or less, without the need to enter a PIN or insert their card into a payment terminal. Once the card has been held over the contactless terminal, the secure transaction uses the tried and tested Chip and PIN technology to automatically add the purchase to the customer's credit card or debit it from their current account.

Contactless payment, which is already commonplace and proving popular in the USA and Asia, is ideal for transactions where speed is essential, especially at supermarkets and petrol stations. Roll-out of contactless payment in the UK began in 2007 and there are now over nine million contactless enabled cards in circulation.

Sean Toal, commercial director, Food Retail, The Co-operative Group, said: "This is a great opportunity for The Co-operative to work in partnership with Barclaycard to become the first major food retailer in the UK to roll-out this unique payment method. It has received an excellent reception from both customers and retailers where it has been launched overseas and is ideal for our store portfolio."

Mark Hale, director of Food IS, The Co-operative Group, added: "Contactless payment has huge benefits for our customers. In essence, this innovative technology will mean increased customer choice and faster transaction speed, which will vastly improve the customer experience."

Contactless payment will also increase throughput as research has shown that a large number of customers will walk out of a shop if they see an excessive queue length.

Stuart Neal, head of UK Payment Acceptance at Barclaycard, said: "We're absolutely delighted that The Co-operative is joining forces with Barclaycard to roll out contactless payments across all of its stores. For a household name such as The Co-operative to commit to the technology really shows that it is the future of payments, and we are looking forward to working with them to further enhance the in-store experience for their customers."

  Notes  to Editors:

  About Barclaycard:

Barclaycard, part of Barclays Global Retail Banking division, is a leading global payment business which helps consumers, retailers and businesses to make and accept payments flexibly, and to access low interest rate credit cards, build credit and provides its own customer rewards scheme.

Barclays and Barclaycard are leading the way in introducing contactless and there are now over eight million contactless-enabled Barclaycards and Barclays debit cards, helping retailers reduce queuing and cut the cost of card transactions. In line with its history of providing customers with innovative payment forms, Barclaycard also intends to make payments by mobile phone available to the mass market by 2012.

Barclays and Barclaycard are the leading providers of contactless terminals in the UK with 25,000 live and accepting payment throughout the country for retailers including Pret A Manger, Subway, Yo! Sushi and EAT.

About The Co-operative Group

The Co-operative Group stands apart from other major retailers in the UK as a business which is owned, not by a small group of shareholders, but by more than five million consumers. With core interests in food, financial services, travel, pharmacy, funerals and farms, it has an annual turnover of 14 billion pounds Sterling, employs 123,000 staff and operates over 5,000 retail trading outlets handling more than 20 million weekly transactions.

/C O R R E C T I O N -- M Group Architects/

In the news release, M Group Architects' New Network Operations Campus for Terremark Technologies is a Major Milestone for the Internet and ICANN, issued July 20, 2010 by M Group Architects over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the release has been revised. The complete, corrected release follows:

M Group Architects' New Network Operations Center for Terremark, Signifying a Major Milestone for the Internet and ICANN

CULPEPER, Va., July 20 -- Terremark Worldwide, Inc. recently inaugurated its new state-of-the-art Network Operations Center at its Network Access Point (NAP) of the Capital Region campus, master planned and designed by M Group Architects, with a cryptographic key signing event. The key secures the root zone of the Domain Name System. The event was conducted specifically to generate confidence throughout the technical Internet community and demonstrated that the root zone can be relied upon to protect users from false information. The ceremony took place in the M Group Architects'-designed high security 72 000 SF headquarter building and was attended by participants from over ten countries.

M Group Architects, a Virginia-based, full-service architecture firm, is known for its grasp of the complex requirements of hardened, mission-critical facilities. During the key signing ceremony every aspect of the equipment, software and procedures associated with the key's generation were verified as not only correct and trustworthy, but superior to those of many commercial certificate authorities -- not only in the degree of openness and transparency in their design and execution, but also in terms of their security engineering. The highly sophisticated facility was designed to also house Terremark's on-campus staff. It is equipped with fully redundant backup systems for power and cooling infrastructure.

The NAP of the Capital Region is a 30-acre campus located 60 miles from Washington, D.C. The design of the data centers required an enhanced security protocol, designed to protect both sensitive data and users. They are built as a secure bunker, with security staff, sophisticated surveillance systems, biometric scanners, and secured areas for processing of staff, customers, and visitors. M Group Architects designs one- to two million square feet of office, retail and flex space annually throughout twenty states, with the majority of the work located in the National Capital Region. Commercial, government and military clients include tech companies, government contractors, corporations, design/build contractors, associations, developers and institutional owners.

M Group Architects' project experience ranges from small SCIF spaces that are an integrated part of a much larger interior-tenant design to complete secure-campus master planning and large, dedicated stand-alone data center buildings. When completed, the NAP of the Capital Region campus will consist of five data center buildings, housing approximately 250,000 sq ft of developed space and providing one of the most secure and sophisticated data center campuses on the East Coast.

  FACTS:
  Location: Culpeper, Virginia

Description: Master planning and design of a highly secure Co-Lo facility on a semi-rural site. The third of five data centers is currently under construction. Support buildings include a guard house/ security building, shipping/receiving building, a 2 story, 70,000sf office building

Brickyard 400 Fans to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network Enhancements Around Track

INDIANAPOLIS, July 23 -- Verizon Wireless has increased its data capacity by 103 percent and its voice capacity by 39 percent around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to accommodate an expected Brickyard 400 crowd of 250,000 people this weekend.

The company deployed two temporary cell sites (one Cell on Wheels or COW and one Cell on Light Truck or COLT) to boost coverage for those attending the Sunday race. The COW and COLT are fully functional, generator-powered mobile cell sites that enhance wireless capacity in a specific location--and work especially well in dense areas with large crowds. The Verizon Wireless network crew is on call 24-7, monitoring usage and performance in real-time throughout the event.

"NASCAR fans will be relying on their wireless devices this weekend to share the event as it's happening," said Greg Haller, president-Indiana/Kentucky/Michigan Region, Verizon Wireless. "Our customers choose Verizon Wireless because they know they can depend on us every time they pick up their phones to update their favorite social networking sites, send video and photos to loved ones and keep in touch with friends and family at the race."

The network enhancements are part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, improve capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Indiana and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $59 billion since it was formed--$5.7 billion on average every year--to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services.
