Call2Recycle® Challenges Americans to Recycle 1 Million Pounds of Batteries

Non-profit aims to educate consumers about recycling and discover what inspires them to be green

ATLANTA, July 21 -- Cell phones, laptops, mp3 players, cordless power tools and digital cameras all use rechargeable batteries, which can and should be recycled. Today, Call2Recycle, North America's only free rechargeable battery and cell phone collection program, launched MyCall2Recycle, an awareness campaign designed to educate consumers and businesses on the importance and ease of battery recycling. During the campaign, consumers are asked to scour their homes and rid their attics, junk drawers and storage spaces of all used rechargeable batteries and cell phones and bring them to any of Call2Recycle's 30,000 public drop-off locations to help the organization achieve its goal of collecting one million pounds of rechargeable batteries between now and Oct. 1.

The MyCall2Recycle campaign consists of three major components: online contests through the campaign's website MyCall2Recycle.org; in-store giveaways for consumers who recycle their rechargeable batteries at campaign partner locations, promoted through Call2Recycle's Facebook and Twitter pages; and a cross-country collection drive in four major markets.

As part of the MyCall2Recycle campaign, people are invited to participate in an online video contest, which launched today at MyCall2Recycle.org, by sharing their green stories about what inspires them to recycle. Between now and Oct. 1, eco-enthusiasts will have the chance to create and upload their videos, and vote on their favorites for a chance to win cutting-edge wireless gadgets. The first 100 people to upload a video that meets the contest requirements will receive a free Call2Recycle eco tote bag.

"We have collected more than 55 million pounds of rechargeable batteries since our program launched in 1996, but too many used batteries are still going to landfills," said Carl Smith, president and CEO of Call2Recycle. "Millions of batteries are not recycled, primarily because people don't know that they can be recycled or where to take them for recycling. Our goal with the MyCall2Recycle campaign is to collect one million pounds of batteries between now and Oct. 1, by making everyone in the U.S. and Canada aware of the free battery recycling locations in their area; and educating businesses on the advantages of becoming a free battery collection spot."

Call2Recycle has partnered with long-time battery recycling program participants DeWALT, Lowe's, RadioShack and Staples to build awareness of the importance of battery recycling through the MyCall2Recycle campaign. Call2Recycle's Facebook fans and Twitter followers will be the first to learn about random prize giveaways for people spotted recycling at select retail locations across the country.

To educate consumers in major markets about the importance of rechargeable battery recycling, and to help Call2Recycle reach its campaign goal of collecting 1 million pounds of batteries between now and Oct. 1, the organization will host collection drives Sept. 20 - 26, in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and San Diego.

CTIA-The Wireless Association® Commends Mark-Up of 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act

WASHINGTON, July 21 -- After the House Committee on Energy and Commerce approved an amended version of the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (H.R. 3101), CTIA-The Wireless Association® President and CEO Steve Largent released the following statement:

  (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100629/DC28223LOGO-a)

"As we prepare to recognize the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act next week, today's House Energy and Commerce Committee's mark-up of the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act is an important step toward ensuring all Americans have access to, and benefit from, wireless products and services.

"We appreciate the willingness of Congressman Markey and the Committee's bi-partisan leadership to work with CTIA to accommodate many of the wireless industry's concerns.

"The biggest improvement to the bill was the addition of language clarifying that not every product or service must be designed to accommodate every possible disability. Other improvements to the legislation include the clarification that there is no mandate to use or incorporate proprietary technology and the flexibility for the industry to determine how to achieve the bill's accessibility obligations. By making these changes, our members will be able to continue to offer American consumers the cutting-edge technology that they have come to demand and expect from our industry."

Membership in the association includes wireless carriers and their suppliers, as well as providers and manufacturers of wireless data services and products.

Consumer Watchdog Praises Attorneys General for Google Probe Renews Call for Congressional Hearing on Wi-Spy Scandal

WASHINGTON, July 21 -- Consumer Watchdog today praised a group of 37 state attorneys general for seeking to get to the bottom of the Google Wi-Spy scandal and reiterated its call for the House Energy and Commerce Committee to hold hearings on the issue.

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal sent a tough letter to the Internet giant asking whether Google had tested its software before use and demanding the company identify the individuals responsible for the Wi-Spy snooping code.

Blumenthal said the group would take appropriate steps -- "including potential legal action if warranted" -- to get answers.

"The action by the state AGs is welcome news, but it's long past time for Congress to hold a hearing on the issue," said John M. Simpson, consumer advocate with Consumer Watchdog. "Just as the CEO of BP was asked to explain the Gulf Oil spill to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, so should Google CEO Eric Schmidt be required testify about the gross intrusion into consumers' privacy that is Wi-Spy."

Consumer Watchdog first called for the State Attorney General to investigate in a letter to the National Association of Attorneys General on June 2.

Google's Lobbying Spending Soars 41 Percent to $1.34 Million While Internet Giant Relies On Well-Connected Team In Washington

WASHINGTON, July 21 -- Google spent $1.34 million trying to influence  federal lawmakers and regulators in the second quarter of 2010, a 41 percent increase over $950,000 in the same period a year ago, Consumer Watchdog said today.

Besides its willingness to spend, a key to Google's lobbying effort is its well-connected Washington staff, most of whom have worked for Congress or the executive branch, said the nonpartisan, nonprofit public interest group.

For example Johanna Shelton once worked for Rep. Rick Boucher, D-VA, who is the chairman of the House Communications, Technology and the Internet Subcommittee. Boucher is now working on an online privacy bill.

The Internet giant has spent a total of $2.72 million lobbying during the first half of the year, according to reports filed with the Senate Office of Public Records. Google's second quarter figures were filed Tuesday night.

"Like most corporations, Google has a definite Washington agenda and its willing to spend millions to further it," said John M. Simpson, consumer advocate with group. "Google has become one of the key political players by freely spending and taking advantage of Washington's revolving-door culture to hire its corporate messengers."

Read the 2nd quarter lobbying report here: http://insidegoogle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LobbyingReport_2010_2.pdf

In addition to its own in-house lobby shop, Google also hired outside lobbying firms.  It spent $150,000 on the well-connected Podesta Group Inc. in the second quarter. Other lobbying firms it hired in the second quarter were Dutko Worldwide ($120,000), Franklin Square Group ($90,000), Liberty Partners group ($60,000) and McBee Strategic Consulting ($50,000).

Among the issues Google tried to influence were online advertising regulation including privacy and competition issues, patent reform, online consumer protection, cloud computing, renewable energy, smart grid, Congressional Internet service usage rules and broadband access.

Here is a list of Google's registered lobbyists and their backgrounds:

Alan Davidson is Google's director of Public Policy and Government Affairs. He joined Google in 2005 from the Center for Democracy and Technology. He has also worked on technology and policy issues at the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment and for the White House Office of Policy Development.

Pablo Chavez is Google's director of Public Policy. He joined Google in 2006, having worked for Sen. John McCain as chief counsel and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation as Senior Counsel.

American Family Insurance, NBC Universal Digital and MSN Renew Their Successful Marketing Campaign

AFI, Mindshare and its mega-media partners respectfully launch season two of the successful series 'In Gayle We Trust,' introduce first Latino financial advice micro-site, and unveil an insurance--focused social simulation game

MADISON, Wis., July 21 -- Due to the overwhelming success of its campaign in 2009, American Family Insurance has once again teamed-up with its media agency, Mindshare, to orchestrate a multi- faceted branded entertainment marketing campaign that includes NBC Universal, MSN and WildTangent. The program integrates entertainment and education to engage consumers with the brand, its products and its agents. The components of this campaign are uniquely suited to connect with consumers about issues that matter most to them - community, family and financial self-reliance.

"This has been the largest integrated marketing success in the company's history and we are thrilled to bring it back with our partners at NBC Universal Digital, MSN and Mindshare Entertainment, in addition to extending it with our new partner WildTangent.  We have made the American Family Insurance brand come to life in a way that resonates well with our audience," said Telisa Yancy, director of advertising, American Family Insurance. "Extensive distribution across digital, video-on-demand, and offline media ensured the show was available to a highly engaged target audience when and where they wanted to watch."

"In Gayle We Trust" marks the first time NBC Universal Digital has renewed a Web series for a second season. BuildingABrighterFuture.com has been relaunched to provide consumers with the latest expert personal finance advice on MSN.com and "iAMFAM," a new online social simulation game developed in partnership with WildTangent, is aimed at helping Americans start a family, manage a career, or buy and maintain a house. Mindshare Entertainment co-produced and oversaw all the content for the campaign, including the Web series "In Gayle We Trust" with NBC Universal Digital Studios and BuildingABrighterFuture.com with MSN, which provides consumers with the latest expert personal finance advice.

While each American Family Insurance-sponsored program delivers against a unique marketing strategy, all three are aligned by a similar theme emphasizing American Family Insurance agents' role as trusted advisers.  It allows the brand to break outside of the traditional marketing communication methods in a highly impactful way, expanding its reach through multiple consumer touch points and driving business.

"The strong results garnered from season one of "In Gayle We Trust" and the pickup of season two marks a vital next step in the development of original digital content as an integral part of the media mix," said Cameron Death, Vice President, NBC Universal Digital Studio.  "It represents a significant accomplishment as we continue to create quality and original digital entertainment with brand-name association such as the one we have with our partner, American Family Insurance, which also returns as the exclusive sponsor of this appealing series."

This campaign builds on the effectiveness of individual media partners by integrating them with a theme that naturally draws consumers from one to the next.  All three campaign elements launch in July 2010.

  Bringing American Family To Life

     "In Gayle We Trust" is an intriguing 10-episode digital series with
     a quirky edge. The program follows the lives of the fictional
     residents of Maple Grove. Insurance agent Gayle Evans (Elisa
     Donovan, "Clueless," "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Sabrina the Teenage
     Witch") is at the hub of the town's business, serving as the
     sounding board, guru and trusted adviser among the town's
  -- idiosyncratic clientele.

     According to InsightExpress, AdInsights Brand Study, 73 percent of
     those who viewed "In Gayle We Trust" expressed that the quality
     exceeded expectations for original online programming and 74
     percent said it was better then some television programs on-air.
     The strong content resulted in a purchase-intent increase of 24
     percent for American Family Insurance, 12 times the normal average
     for online marketing, and a 30 percent increase of people
     identifying the brand as "innovative."

     The comedic short stories were produced by NBC Universal Digital in
     association with Mindshare Entertainment. They are available at
     ingaylewetrust.com and promoted on-air on NBC and USA Network, as
     well as NBC Universal's significant digital and mobile platforms,
     all major video-on demand platforms and social networks.  It was
     recently awarded the nextMEDIA Banff World Television Festival
     Awards for "Best Branded Entertainment."

     "In Gayle We Trust" photos and press materials are available at
     www.nbcmv.com and clips and interviews are available at nbc.epk.tv.

"We saw fantastic results from our campaign last year indicating that the series and online resources were well-received by the public," said Yancy.  "We anticipate that this year we will continue to see increased traffic and engagement on our campaign Web sites, widespread viewership of our Web series, and increased agent interaction."

        BuildingaBrighterFuture.msn.com offers families straightforward and
        trusted personal finance advice reinforcing American Family
        Insurance's position as a trusted adviser for families seeking a
        brighter future.  Featuring MSN's Liz Weston, the most-read

        This year American Family Insurance will help introduce the first
        Latino MSN/Branded Entertainment and Experiences micro-site,
        Creando Futuros Brillantes, found at http:///
        creandounfuturobrillante.msn.com. Hosted by Latino finance expert
        Elianne Gonzalez, the site is geared to address financial issues
        within the Hispanic community.  The Hispanic community has few
        digital guides in the finance space, and the site includes specific
        solutions for this community focused on saving, small business, and
        the importance of insurance to protect families.

        iAMFAM is a social simulation game where players grow and nurture a
        virtual family by maintaining day-to-day and major financial
        decisions.  Happiness, the overall goal of the game, is maximized

        developed for the Facebook platform, enabling players to invite
        their Facebook friends to become neighbors who can visit and
        interact with each other's virtual houses and send gifts to each
        other, and even marry their children to become extended family.
        Players also encounter random positive and negative events.
        Negative events such as property damage, theft or sickness can
        result in financial setback preventing the player from advancing.
        No matter what twists life throws at them, American Family
        Insurance protects players from financial setback enabling them to
        continue on in the game of life.  The game will be supported on an
        on-going basis with content updates to keep gamers engaged over

Verizon Global Wholesale Expands High Speed Internet Portfolio With 'White-Label' Options

Carrier Customers Can Brand the Service, URLs and E-Mail Addresses

NEW YORK, July 21 -- To support the marketing and branding strategies of its wholesale High Speed Internet (HSI) customers, Verizon Global Wholesale is expanding its portfolio of services to include two white-label, or non-branded, HSI options.

Starting immediately, wholesale customers can offer Verizon's DSL-based services -- Broadband Traffic Aggregation Service (BTAS) and InfoSpeed DSL Service -- under the customers' own branding.

BTAS offers a turnkey solution for national providers that want to offer an easy-to-implement HSI service across the U.S.  InfoSpeed, generally a regional service, provides the local access portion of DSL to providers that already operate an ATM backbone and that have local points of presence, allowing them to apply their own quality control to their services.  Verizon Global Wholesale can also create ATM networks for providers.

Under the new options, a carrier can repackage the services with its own branding, including the name of the service, the URLs associated with it and the "company-dot-com" or "service-dot-net" e-mail addresses.

Verizon Global Wholesale offers HSI services with speeds up to 7.1 Mbps (download) and 768 Kbps (upload).

"This is a new way of partnering with our carrier customers and delivering total solutions to them," said Kathleen Sullivan, divisional vice president, Verizon Global Wholesale.  "It helps them sell an Internet service that is similar to the one we sell to our retail customers but with the carrier's own branding umbrella."

Previously, wholesalers could sell Verizon-branded Verizon Online service as Wholesale Advantage DSL.

Verizon Global Wholesale meets the needs of wholesale customers around the globe by providing offerings ranging from complex data technologies such as Ethernet, SONET and IP services to value-added services like data security, cloud computing and professional services as well as traditional voice services.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), headquartered in New York, is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers.  Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving more than 91 million customers nationwide.  Verizon also provides converged communications, information and entertainment services over America's most advanced fiber-optic network, and delivers innovative, seamless business solutions to customers around the world.  A Dow 30 company, Verizon employs a diverse workforce of approximately 222,900 and last year generated consolidated revenues of more than $107 billion.  For more information, visit http://www.verizon.com.

    The new 3D film continues the 'Parallel Lines' campaign and will promote
Philips' cinematic range of 3D LED TVs, including the world's first Full HD
3D cinema proportion LED TV, Cinema 21:9 Platinum Series, which launches
later this summer. Philips' creative agency DDB UK is collaborating with
award-winning Vision3@ Compendium to manage the creative and technical
aspects of the shoot and post-production. The 'Parallel Lines' campaign won
the 2010 inaugural Cannes Lions Grand Prix for Film Craft.

    The 3D film will be revealed in September and will be supported by an
in-store retail experience. A 2D version of the film will also be presented
on http://www.philips.com/cinema and http://www.youtube.com/philipscinema.
Exclusive footage of how the film was made, including interviews with the
director and crew, will be released on Philips Cinema's Facebook page

September.

cinematic experience into the home," commented Gary Raucher, Vice President
and Head of Integrated Marketing Communications, Philips Consumer Lifestyle.
"Parallel Lines is the perfect platform to showcase our cinematic range of 3D
LED TVs with Ambilight."

    The 'Parallel Lines' campaign, which launched in April, challenged
directors from RSA to respond to a single dialogue to demonstrate that
whatever content is watched, only Philips TVs' Ambilight technology,
award-winning picture quality and superior sound, can recreate the best
cinematic viewing experience at home. Since April, the 5 'Parallel Lines'
films have been watched over 5 million times through
http://www.philips.com/cinema and http://www.youtube.com/philipscinema. For
this 6th film, RSA's Barney Cokeliss was challenged to submit a treatment for
a short 3D film based upon the same single dialogue.

    Tell It Your Way Competition

    Entry for the Parallel Lines UGC competition 'Tell It Your Way' closes
next month (8th August). With Ridley Scott choosing the overall winner,
competition amongst the film community to create a new film in the Parallel
Lines series is fierce, with one team flying to the Arctic to finalize their
entry. The overall winner will be selected in September following two rounds
of voting, including a YouTube public vote, and will receive a week's work
experience with RSA and a red-carpet premiere experience in addition to
having their film recognized by Sir Ridley Scott.

    Philips' Full HD 3D TVs and 3D Ready TVs bring the ultimate cinematic
viewing experience home. Their unique Ambilight and LED technology (LED Pro
and Bright Pro) deliver an unparalleled 3D experience that makes you part of
the action.

Former Heroin Addict Helps Others Find Drug Rehabilitation and a Way Out of Their Misery

The Way Out Recovery's placement and referral services are now available to the public, making it much easier for addicts and their family members to find the drug rehabilitation that is right for them. This free service is available at http://www.TheWayOutRecovery.com and was created by Michael Smith, who found a way out of his addiction over seven years ago.

DALLAS, July 21 -- The Way Out Recovery today announced the general availability of their free placement and referral services through the launch of their website, http://www.TheWayOutRecovery.com. This serves as a significant resource to anyone looking to find drug and alcohol treatment for themselves or a loved one. The company is dedicated to helping people find substance abuse and treatment facilities that will address their needs and help them reclaim their lives.

According to the founder, Michael Smith, "Our goal is to provide immediate help for those who visit the site. Whether they are looking for treatment programs and rehabilitation centers or information on various addictions and their symptoms, we are committed to assisting them in finding their way out of the nightmare that is addiction."

Michael Smith grew up in the Munjoy Hill neighborhood of Portland, Maine and at a young age he figured out the best way to survive was through selling and using drugs. While he started with marijuana and alcohol, he quickly progressed to xanax, pain pills, and eventually began using IV heroin. Michael's drug addiction took him down quickly and he spent many years going in and out of jails, detoxes, inpatient treatments, and homeless shelters. After suffering from a grueling 10-year drug and alcohol addiction, Michael found freedom through the 12-steps.

Since he found recovery, Michael Smith has been active in the addiction recovery field, both as a counselor and as a marketer.  Michael states, "I want everybody to have the chance to get the help they want and deserve and to experience the same freedom that I get to have today."

The placement services are accessible by visiting the website at http://www.TheWayOutRecovery.com and filling out a simple form describing the current need for treatment. After the form has been submitted, someone from The Way Out will follow-up with specific resources and answer any further questions.

To contact The Way Out Recovery, visit http://www.TheWayOutRecovery.com or call 1-877-WAYOUT-7.

Netter Products Expand Offerings to Include Interactive Online and Mobile Technologies

PHILADELPHIA, July 21, 2010--

    - Medicine's Most Well Known Anatomy Products Offer Students and
Medical Professionals Online and Mobile Tools to aid Learning and Review

    Netter Products (http://www.netterimages.com/), which are based on
medicine's most well known and comprehensive collection of hand-painted
anatomy illustrations by Frank Netter, M.D, have evolved into sophisticated
digital tools that aid students and clinicians in learning and reviewing
concepts in basic sciences and clinical medicine. The full line of Netter
Products are published by Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of
scientific, technical, and medical information products and services.

     (Photo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100721/400653 )

    "It is imperative that medical students self-direct their learning
experience through interactive and innovative tools," said Randy Charles,
Managing Director, Global Clinical Reference for Elsevier. "With limited lab
time, the necessity to cover a lot of information in a short amount of time,
a lack of faculty and an inadequate amount of cadavers, medical school
students will find significant benefits in products that offer convenience,
quality and superior information."

    A New Digital Life for Netter Images

    The Netter products offer a number of avenues for medical students to
self-direct their learning outside of the clinical and classroom environment,
including:

   
    - Netter's 3D Interactive Anatomy, powered by Cyber-Anatomy, brings the
      human body to life like never before, and gives students and clinicians
      a real-time interactive model of human anatomy using advanced gaming
      technology. The original Netter art is digitized and modeled to
      simulate a realistic environment for virtual dissection and exploration
      of human anatomy, allowing users to rotate virtual bodies, peel apart
      individual structures and have precise control over their view.
   
    "Netter's 3D Interactive Anatomy gives the students direct control as
    they create and explore different anatomical views," said Alex
    Derevianko, MD, MA, Medical Simulation Specialist and Instructor in
    Surgery at Harvard Medical School. "The Netter Atlas is always a student
    favorite - but now with the ability to move and rotate these structures
    in their 3-dimensional context, the appreciation for spatial
    relationships is accelerated."
   
    - Netter's iPhone apps allow students and clinicians access to the
      bestselling references from an iPhone or iPod touch. Netter apps
      include:
   
        - Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy
        - Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards
        - Netter's Concise Radiologic Anatomy
        - Netter's Musculoskeletal Flash Cards
        - Netter's Neuroscience Flash Cards
        - Netter's Advanced Head and Neck Flash Cards
        - Netter's Histology Flash Cards
        - Netter's Surgical Anatomy Review P.R.N (coming Q4 of 2010)

    - Best-selling Netter books, including The Atlas of Human Anatomy, The
      Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, Netter's Clinical Anatomy,
      Netter's Orthopaedic Clinical Examination: An Evidence-Based Approach,
      and Netter's Cardiology, are scheduled to be available on the Kindle
      beginning in 2011.

    "Educational tools that offer interactive ways to learn- whether using
high tech formats like the flash card apps or low tech formats like the
coloring book- are bringing the unmatched artwork of Frank Netter to a new
generation of health and medical students who thrive on engaging and
interactive multimedia," said John Hansen, Professor of Neurobiology and
Anatomy at University of Rochester Medical Center and author of several
Netter products.

    Continued Industry Leader in Medical Education

    Even with the adoption of electronic and digital tools, students and
clinicians still find paper resources valuable. Students can continue their
self-directed learning with products from the Netter line including:

   
    - Netter's Surgical Anatomy Review P.R.N., by Robert B. Trelease, a
    compact mini pocket guide for surgical rotation or residency. Vibrant,
    detailed artwork illuminates each structure and its clinical relevance,
    making it easy to visualize the anatomy that underlies the procedures and
    clinical conditions. Students can carry this "mini Netter" and have
    access "as needed."
   
    - The Netter Anatomy Coloring Book, by John T. Hansen, PhD, is an
    interactive coloring book designed for students to trace over muscle
    striations, arteries and veins to gain a better understanding of the
    integration of individual organs in the workings of each body system.
   
    - With over 600 illustrations, Netter's Clinical Anatomy by John T.
    Hansen, PhD, offers essential depictions of normal and pathologic anatomy
    and embryology, accompanied by supportive text to help students
    understand the clinical relevance. This book fills a void that many
    medical students have due to shortened curriculums, and is a great
    resource to use with many of the time constraints medical students face.
   
    - Netter's Correlative Imaging Series, overseen by radiologist, Nancy
    Major, MD, will launch in late 2010 with the first volume:
    Musculoskeletal Anatomy. State of the art images, side-by-side
    illustrated plates detail the anatomy in key planes of the upper and
    lower limbs making this the most specialized and detailed Netter Anatomy
    Atlas to date. Atlases in this series for Neuroanatomy, Cardiothoracic
    Anatomy, and Abdominal and Pelvic Anatomy will soon follow.

DediPower Launches Robust Public Cloud and Sets New Service Levels for the Enterprise

READING, England, July 21, 2010--

    - Fast Access to Public Cloud Services, Supported by Market Leading
Technology and Fully Underpinned by DediPower's Extensive SLA

    The Launch of DediPower's new Public Cloud signals a step-change for
managed hosting. Providing the fast-roll-out and shared economies expected
from Cloud infrastructure, it raises the bar on the typical 'commodity' based
Public Cloud services currently flooding the market.

    DediPower is committed to delivering Public Cloud that uses only best of
breed hardware and dedicated support normally associated with bespoke Private
enterprise solutions. To support this, it offers a solid Service Level
Agreement which ensures 100% uptime and high availability; utilises high
speed fully redundant SAS SAN for storage; and includes ISO 27002 compliant
security separation, firewalling and enterprise calibre back-ups as standard.

    Craig Martin, CEO of DediPower, states, "Hosting companies have fallen
into the trap of developing cloud platforms to be ahead of the curve. This is
not their key strength. Consequently, they have tried to solve the problem
from every angle, leading to unsupportable architectures and inconsistent
pricing. We aim to challenge them and provide a new benchmark for the
industry by using premier, proven hardware; architecture developed on our
top-end servers; and solutions built using VMWare Hypervisor, the industry
leading virtualisation platform."

    He continues, "We believe organisations looking to migrate to Public
Cloud don't want low costs if it means an unreliable platform that cannot
service their needs. They want a risk-free solution that accommodates their
growth and is robust enough to respond to market demands and future growth
strategies. At DediPower, we believe 100% availability and solid support is
still a prerequisite for hosting - no matter how small the client, its web
traffic or its investment. Value is what counts - and we aim to deliver that
throughout."

    DediPower Public Cloud incorporates VMWare Hypervisor which runs on the
latest Intel Nehalem Hardware. There is no over-allocation of RAM, CPU and
storage is provided using high-performance SAS SAN hardware with suitable QoS
levels on disk I/O. Costing models are based on Virtual Cloud Data Centres
which are sold as blocks of RAM with storage split into virtual machines.

First Ever 'What, Where and With?' Search Engine Introduced by EZlocal.com

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., July 21 -- While Google, Yahoo and Bing continue to compete for dominance in universal search, EZlocal is introducing a new search technology to the local search market which could help it gain market share from competitors like DexKnows and Yellowpages.com. EZlocal, Inc. announced today that it has been issued Worldwide Patent Number 61/352115, which is broadly directed to processes developed by EZlocal for "what, where and with?" search functions. The patent covers what the company believes is the only system and method available for providing searches including a "with" in addition to the traditional "what" and "where" search parameters to further improve the ability for searchers to have more precise and predictable search results.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/first-ever-what-where-and-with-search- engine-introduced-by-ezlocalcom-97889094.html

"The concept for adding a 'with' parameter to local search was born out of the insight that online consumers often know exactly what they want before they conduct a search. Up until our product release, search engines like Google and Yahoo and top Internet yellow page sites were not effectively organizing and delivering this. We overhauled our search algorithm to address this disconnect between user and data, and in the process created something highly useful," says Dave Cosper, vice president of marketing, EZlocal Inc. "The applications and future scaling of this technology are capable of reshaping the way online business information is searched for, organized and delivered."

To facilitate this, EZlocal has developed a series of badges, called Zuluz, to categorize popular "with" searches on its site. The initial launch includes 16 popular Zuluz categories for criteria like "accepts credit cards," "open late" and "Wi-Fi hotspot." Businesses who have claimed or been awarded Zuluz for a particular feature or service are prioritized in search results. All Zuluz badges are free for business owners to claim. Over three million Zuluz have already been awarded. A business owner wishing to claim their free business listing and add search optimized Zuluz can simply go to ezlocal.com and complete an easy step by step registration.

The brainchild of Jim Tracy, long-time advocate of small business, EZlocal was conceived as a resource for consumers to quickly and easily find products and services in their community (and elsewhere), providing an easy reference map, customer reviews, and detailed business profiles. "Our goal at EZlocal is to create the most robust and user-friendly local search directory on the Internet," says Tracy who is also president and founder of EZlocal. "Adding the 'with' component to our site is perhaps a long overdue evolution to local search as a whole. In the same way consumers demand faster and more capable cell phones, we're upping the ante and delivering something that works more efficiently for users in the real-world of local search."

Imagine this: it's a late night out with friends and you're craving some food. You're looking to find a pizza place that's both "open late" and "accepts credit cards." Before, no matter what site you used, this would normally take several search steps - assuming this information was even available. Now, with ezlocal.com, you can do this all at once. Type in "pizza," "your town or zip" and choose as many Zuluz categories as you want to get the search results you're looking for -- in one easy step.

Traditional search results tend to be vast and unorganized. Keywords are generally used by businesses to better enable searchers to locate a website or business listing. The keywords are generally matched with a "what" search parameter to determine whether the search results should include the content specific to the keywords. Such a search scheme provides unpredictable results because commercial entities do not always use the same terminology. There is an entire industry for search engine optimization to provide businesses better ways to be "found" during local searches and EZlocal is expecting to corner a sizable portion of this market.

About EZlocal

EZlocal (http://ezlocal.com/) is a local search site connecting local listings with ready-to-buy consumers - giving businesses access to more highly targeted Web traffic. The site contains robust business information including enhanced data powered by Localeze and CityGrid. EZlocal also provides local search optimization services with simple tools to help businesses promote their products and services and place higher in local searches on Google, Bing, and Yahoo!

Lockheed Martin Conducts Successful In-Mine Test of Its Through-The-Earth Wireless Communication System

System provides emergency communications capability for trapped miners

BRUCETON, Pa., July 21 -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) conducted an in-mine test of its MagneLink(TM) Magnetic Communication System (MCS).

Testing was conducted at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Test Mine in Bruceton, Pa. on June 15 and 16.

MagneLink MCS is a wireless, through-the-earth communications system developed to meet the mining industry's post-accident emergency communications requirement. The system provides voice communication and texting to give trapped miners fail-safe communication during a catastrophe.

The system works by transmitting magnetic waves through the earth without the transmission wires and in-ground infrastructure currently required to communicate via standard radio transmissions. It is a portable, two-way, voice- and text-capable emergency communication system operating at ranges sufficient to communicate from the surface into deep underground mines.

"During the test, MagneLink MCS performed superbly," said Warren Gross, MagneLink MCS program manager. "The system interfaced with hand-held radios similar to the Miner Emergency Radios (MERs) and functioned as a multi-band receiver, establishing communications with multiple MagneLink MCS units without the requirement for the MCS units to be on the same channel to receive transmissions."

MagneLink MCS will bring a significant emergency communications capability to the mining industry in the event of an accident where miners are trapped and have no other means of communicating with rescue teams on the surface.

"Lockheed Martin has leveraged its advanced communications and signal processing expertise to successfully develop this unique system in coordination with NIOSH to help saver miners' lives following a mine accident," said Gross.

Lockheed Martin previously conducted two additional MagneLink MCS in-mine tests.

In December 2009, the MagneLink MCS Engineering Development Model's functionality for voice and text communications was successfully demonstrated at a commercial mine in Dilliner, Pa.

In March 2010, Lockheed Martin tested MagneLink MCS at the Contrary Portal of CONSOL Energy's Buchanan Mine in Mavisdale, Va. The system demonstrated successful two-way voice communications to a depth of 1550 feet and two-way text communications to a depth in excess of 1550 feet.

Lockheed Martin and the Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) are currently working to certify the equipment for use in mines. MagneLink MCS systems will be available following MSHA certification.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 136,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2009 sales of $45.2 billion.

Hyundai Launches Online Service Scheduling Program - Automated Service Connection and Assurance Solution

Online Maintenance Recommendations, Service Scheduling and Streamlined Dealer Communication All Offered Through a Single Portal

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 21 -- Hyundai Motor America today completed the first of a multiphase program to provide customers with more convenience and assurance when planning and scheduling service for their Hyundai. Through an industry-leading customer relationship management platform, the Hyundai Online Service Scheduling Program will not only streamline the process for customers, but will significantly improve scheduling and resource utilization for dealerships, resulting in improved customer service and more efficient service operations. The program effectively extends Hyundai Assurance, which includes the 5-year/60,000-mile fully transferable new vehicle warranty, Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and 5-years of complimentary Roadside Assistance, through the entire service experience for Hyundai owners.

The first phase of the Online Service Scheduling Program is called Electronic Service Menus (ESM). Electronic Service Menus provide make-, model- and even VIN-specific information about the service requirements for an owner's vehicle. The online system, available 24/7, will clearly explain different service options, including manufacturer-recommended maintenance and premium dealer offers. Electronic Service Menus have now been rolled out to nearly 800 Hyundai dealerships in the U.S. and are accessible through http://www.hyundaiusa.com.

Hyundai's implementation of the Online Service Scheduling Program precedes the launch of its all-new flagship, the Equus premium sedan. With Equus, Hyundai is ushering in new customer relationship management tools that save owners both time and money. Examples include valet service for appointments and an iPad that will contain the entire Equus owner's manual. Hyundai's Online Service Scheduling Program is yet another result of this dedicated effort to enhance the customer experience. It will be fully implemented by the end of 2010 across Hyundai's U.S. dealer network and be available to every Hyundai owner.

"Hyundai's Online Service Scheduling Program will bring the owner, dealer and manufacturer into alignment when it comes to after-sales service and maintenance," said Barry Ratzlaff, director of service operations, Hyundai Motor America. "Through the online portal Hyundai owners can access the full range of service options and recommended pricing for their vehicle, providing assurance that their service needs are exceeded. You don't have to own a luxury car to get treated to the luxury service experience."

In phase two of the implementation, Electronic Service Menus will be integrated with Online Service Scheduling, management reporting and certified DMS connectivity. This instant connection to local Hyundai dealerships' service departments ensures that both the expertise and equipment will be available at the dealership when customers make their appointment, eliminating needless delays and improving the utilization of fixed assets in the shop. Owners can also print itemized service menus on demand through an easy-to-use web interface, and sign up for personalized appointment notifications and repair status sent by e-mail and text.

In the final phase, Hyundai dealers will have the option of automating and integrating Electronic Service Menus and Online Service Scheduling with call center and Smartphone scheduling, comprehensive shop control, greeter boards and email/text-based service marketing on a unified web-based platform.  By integrating both the customer-facing and back-end technology, Hyundai dealers can further improve the customer service experience and generate increased service and parts revenue by increasing retention and improving efficiency.

VirnetX Chief Expects Secure Domain Name Pilot with Leading 4G Companies to Move into Production in 2011

First of Many "License to the Titans"

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., July 21 -- VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSE Amex: VHC) announced today that Kendall Larsen, Chairman, President and CEO, recently told CEOcast, Inc. in an interview that the company's design pilot this quarter for its Secure Domain Name Initiative (SDNI) in participation with leading 4G/LTE companies (domain infrastructure providers, chipset manufacturers, service providers, etc.) will move into production over the next six to 12 months for delivering to end-users and consumers of the Internet and mobile devices the needed and necessary security requirements for the next generation 4G/LTE wireless networks. The pilot initiative is implementing the company's patented Secure Domain Name and automatic Virtual Private Network technology.  The interview with the on-line program, which reaches millions of investors worldwide, can be accessed at http://www.ceocast.com and will be available through Friday, July 30. (Register and log-on for free.)

Here are highlights of the Larsen interview in which he talked about VirnetX's leadership role in commercializing its patent portfolio by developing a licensing program and software products designed to create a secure environment for next-generation 4G Internet-based applications:

  --  As part of the patent infringement case settlement, Microsoft is
      taking a license to the VirnetX patents for Microsoft's products and
      will make a one-time payment of $200 million to VirnetX. The company's
      license to Microsoft is the first of many others to come with large
      communications vendors in the sector or as Kendall Larsen put it,
      "license to the titans."
  --  The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) confirmed in
      June 2010 that all claims of VirnetX's two key patents are patentable
      and valid, which confirms VirnetX has key patents related to one of
      the most important security technologies, Virtual Private Networks.
      (The two patents were determined to have been infringed by Microsoft
      Corporation at a jury trial in a patent infringement suit that was
      settled by VirnetX and Microsoft in May 2010.)
  --  To reward its strong and loyal stockholder base, which has been
      instrumental to the company's recent successes, the Board of Directors
      of VHC approved a declaration of a  special cash dividend of $0.50 per
      share of the company's common stock that was payable on July 15, 2010
      to stockholders of record on July 1, 2010.  Kendall Larsen also
      stipulated the desire for more special dividends in the future.
  --  VirnetX advanced from the Russell Microcap Index to the Russell 3000
      Index and Global Index in June 2010, which represents an important
      step in growing the company's presence and visibility in the
      investment community. It also highlights the company's considerable
      achievements since joining the Russell Microcap Index in 2008.

  About VirnetX

VirnetX Holding Corporation, an Internet security software and technology company, is engaged in commercializing its patent portfolio by developing a licensing program as well as developing software products designed to create a secure environment for real-time communication applications such as instant messaging, VoIP, smart phones, eReaders and video conferencing.

AT&T Government Solutions Wins $350 Million Task Order From the U.S. Department of Agriculture

AT&T Will Provide Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Managed Security Services Under U.S. General Services Administration Networx Universal Program

OAKTON, Va., July 21 -- AT&T Government Solutions* business unit announced it has won a task order worth up to $350 million to provide Managed Security Services and deploy a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Data Services.

The task order was awarded under the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Networx Universal contract vehicle. Under the terms of the task order, AT&T will utilize its transition planning and network management capabilities to complete a Department-wide managed IP network architecture that enables shared services across a new, unified infrastructure. AT&T will provide data services to over 5,000 USDA locations across the country.

The USDA has a geographically dispersed network, encompassing over 29 agencies and offices with a diverse set of objectives. The Cabinet-level agency is charged with serving our nation's farmers, conserving natural resources, protecting the food supply, and serving millions of constituents who rely on the agency's services.

"A growing demand to provide information in a secure fashion and on a global scale are key challenges that many federal agencies face today and tomorrow," said Christopher L. Smith, Chief Information Officer, U.S. Department of Agriculture. "USDA Data Services is not only designed to meet these challenges via the deployment of a corporate data network, but also through close collaboration between USDA and its agencies. USDA will use the Networx program to transform our operations through new technologies so we can provide our customers with more advanced network services while also meeting the needs of our citizens."

"The migration to a VPN architecture for USDA is not only a significant evolution of their network but an example of how the agency has been able to successfully execute its network vision," said Jeff Mohan, Executive Director, Networx Program Office, AT&T Government Solutions. "Given our long-standing network engagement with USDA, and AT&T's expertise in providing cybersecurity solutions to the federal government, AT&T can help the agency achieve the next-generation of its network so it can provide additional capabilities to not only its workforce but the citizens it serves in a highly secure manner."

The foundation for the AT&T Data Services VPN solution is the state-of-the-art AT&T Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled network, a fully managed, highly secure, scalable data network, which enables customers to incorporate leading edge applications on the network. This powerful foundation provides the secure, reliable VPN network best suited to support USDA needs for an IP-converged network connecting USDA's sites nationwide.

As a recognized leader in network security, AT&T will also provide Managed Security services for USDA such as Managed Firewall, Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Managed e-Authentication Service, Vulnerability Scanning, Anti-Virus Management, Incident Response, Secure Managed e-mail, and Managed Tiered Security Services.

"USDA needs an approach to security that not only safeguards their data and other assets, but also identifies and stops cyber threats before they reach their network perimeter," said Ed Amoroso, Chief Security Officer and Senior Vice President, AT&T Services, Inc. "AT&T's cloud-based approach, coupled with our industry-leading Managed Security Services, provides USDA with a highly advanced cyber security solution ready to respond to the ever-changing threat environment."

With the new architecture, the USDA will improve its ability to securely share information between its many nationwide offices and stakeholders, including businesses, state and local government partners, and public citizens.

AT&T, the incumbent data carrier for USDA, has been engaged with the Cabinet-level agency for several years. AT&T has deployed sites for the USDA Universal Telecommunications Network (UTN) VPN under the Federal Telecommunications Service 2001 (FTS2001) Crossover contract.

The USDA task order has a one-year base with six one-year options.

Intwine Energy Teams With Case Western Reserve University in Landmark Gigabit Fiber-to-the-Home Pilot Research Project

Residential Energy Management, including a WiFi Thermostat, is one of Many Benefits of a 'Connected Community'

CLEVELAND, July 21 -- Intwine Energy, a leader in the development of Internet connected smart-grid products for both utilities and retail customers, today announced the adoption of its WiFi thermostat technology into Case Western Reserve University's Case Connection Zone pilot research project. The IECT220 and the IECT 210 Intwine WiFi Thermostat, as well as a beta version of the Intwine Energy WiFi Connected Whole-House Power Monitor, which includes the Blueline Innovations sensor, and Smart Plug, have been successfully demonstrated to researchers and will be installed into a beta community.

The Case Connection Zone will bring super high-speed gigabit fiber to approximately 100 residences adjacent to the university as the first step in an initiative to determine how utilization of gigabit Internet connectivity can be made relevant and useful in people's everyday lives. The project will include Internet-enabled services related to health care and wellness, neighborhood and public safety, education and household energy management.

"With a Gigabit fiber network, communities can access services such as energy management and e-learning and at the same time provide people with open access to the economic opportunities that the Internet enables," said Lev Gonick, Case's Vice President for Information Technology Services. "This combination of strengthening the community structure and providing people with a superhighway to the digital world is vital to improving lives in American cities."

The IECT220 Intwine WiFi Thermostat will be offered as part of the Case Connection Zone's services to enable residents to remotely monitor and control all home energy usage, connecting the thermostat directly to the Internet via a WiFi connection. As a part of Intwine's Personal Energy Network - Solution Suite, the WiFi thermostat will display historical data/trends on past energy usage for both individual devices as well as for the entire home - both locally and across the web via browser and/or iPhone or iPod Touch. The Whole-House Power Monitor and Smart Plugs are products in the Intwine's Solution Suite, an integrated end-to-end system that empowers homeowners to monitor and control their household energy use. The end result is lower energy usage and cost as well the ability to deeply integrate energy usage into personal lifestyles.

"We're proud to be playing an integral role in this worthwhile broadband connectivity initiative with Case Western Reserve University," said Dave Martin, president and co-founder, Intwine Energy. "We've completed several successful Intwine Personal Energy Network demonstrations in the region and feel confident this pilot program will offer a powerful demonstration and research platform toward the broad adoption of integrated home energy management via broadband connectivity."

"Extreme Power and Mega Power provide definite advantages for businesses that are transferring large files, running hosted software applications, hosting mail or web servers, downloading large e-mails, streaming video, conducting video conferences or handling other high-bandwidth needs."

Internet speeds currently available through Charter Business are vastly superior to DSL. Charter Business' Internet services bundled with phone and TV services enable maximum savings and value for the unique needs of businesses and enterprises of all sizes.

Extreme Power and Mega Power are currently available to communities served by Charter in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Nebraska, Nevada, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri and Tennessee. Charter will continue to launch the new speeds in additional markets across its footprint.
