Fight Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a WSOP

GIBRALTAR, July 12, 2010--     Three-time world champion boxer Jeff Fenech (the Marrickville Mauler) has
made it to day 3 in the $10,000 main event at the World Series Of Poker in
Las Vegas. Fenech has outlasted 888poker team mate and fellow Aussie Shane
Warne, as well as the 2005 World Champion, Joe Hachem.

    Fenech finished day 2 in the main event on 66,000 chips with his game
play matching that of a boxer - his aggression on the table seems to have
paid off and gave the spectators a good show. Jeff commented, "I knocked 2
people out yesterday, and they didn't get a mark on them!" His final
position on day 2 puts him at 659 out of the 1296 players who played that
day.

    888poker team mate Shane Warne busted out of the main event on day 2. He
had KQ, the flop came K,2,5, and all the chips went in against an unknown
opponent. His opponent had two Aces. The turn and river were no help for
Shane, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

    Team 888poker are doing well, including VIP Player Patrick Dekoster
making it to position 49 on day 2a with a stack of 197,900, and so far are
sending more than 10 players through to day three, including 888poker
ambassador and Irish champion, Padraig Parkinson.

Padraig Parkinson Having a Good Craic at the WSOP

GIBRALTAR, July 12, 2010--     Padraig Parkinson, ambassador to 888poker, has made it to day three of
the Main Event at the World Series of Poker with a healthy stack of over
153,000. The Irish professional poker player, who placed third in the 1999
WSOP has been bluffing his way at the tables posing as an architect rather
than admitting his real profession, which so far has paid off!

    A turning point in Padraig's tournament came when he delivered a pivotal
knock out. Parkinson was heads-up against one opponent on a flop of K[hearts]
Q[diamonds] 7[hearts] and all the chips went into the middle creating a pot
of over 40,000. Parkinson showed Q[clubs] Q[spades] which had his opponent's
A[hearts] K[diamonds] crippled. The board finished with the 3[clubs] and then
the 2[hearts] to give Parkinson a huge pot and send his opponent to the rail.
After the hand Parkinson was up to 50,000.

    Padraig is one of 11 players going through to day three for Team 888poker
out of the 120 players 888poker sent out to Vegas for this year's WSOP.

    During the WSOP Padraig has been interviewing poker legends including
Mike Sexton, Daniel Negreanu, Kara Scott, Nolan Dalla and Martyn Smyth. You

'Princess Arabella Wants to Play', Interactive Children's Book by RumdeeDum for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

AMERSFOORT, the Netherlands, July 12, 2010--     Once upon a time there was a little princess named Arabella. After
several adventures in books she decided that it was time for a change. The
time had come for Arabella to start a new adventure on the iPhone, iPad and
iPod touch. The adventure began when she met RumdeeDum (
http://www.rumdeedum.com).

    Debut on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Arabella will make her debut on iPhone, iPad en iPod touch this summer.
'Princess Arabella wants to play' is one of the first interactive children's
books with animations on the iPad. The interactive book presents a new story
and has been specially developed for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The
story has been written and created for children from the ages four till ten.

    'Princess Arabella wants to play' is the perfect story to read on long
drives or to cuddle up with on the couch at home.

    Princess who...?

    Princess Arabella was created by writer and illustrator, Mylo Freeman.
Freeman had heard about a little African American girl who was offered to
play the role of a princess in her school play. But the girl refused the
part. 'There's no such thing as a black princess, there's no way I can play
that part!', she said. To Freeman it was obvious: the world needed a story
about a black princess. She created a picture book about a little, strong
willed princess called Arabella. So far only printed books about Princess
Arabella have been released and with the interactive book on iPhone, iPad and
iPod touch Arabella is becoming a really ambitious little girl.

    Listen or read it yourself

    The story comes to life through extra features like music, sound effects
and animations. By touching the screen, children discover the hidden
surprises and animations in this wonderful story. The interactive book can be
read in many different ways. Parents or children can use the short text to
narrate the story in their own words. Children can also listen to the
pre-recorded storyteller. Young readers can read the short text, and on the
iPad, more experienced readers can read the complete story. The interactive
book is available in English and Dutch.

    More about Arabella

    This Princess Arabella version for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is the
first in this series. More games and stories are planned for this fall.
Please visit the publishers website http://www.rumdeedum.com for more
information on Princess Arabella and a preview of 'Princess Arabella wants to
play'.

    Note for the editor

    Creators: This interactive book was produced by publisher RumdeeDum in
close collaboration with writer and illustrator Mylo Freeman and the Dutch
game developer Codeglue.

Jane Harman's WiFi Scoff Coincides With Newsweek Bid Going Political

TORRANCE, Calif., July 12 -- On the heels of Politico and the New York Observer reporting on Harman's bid for Newsweek going "political" Jane Harman becomes the implausible victim of a WiFi security breach on the same day.

Mattie Fein, Harman's opponent for the 36th congressional district, detailed damage to freedom of the press if a Harman acquisition were to take place based on Jane Harman's strong arm tactics with the New York Times.  The timing of the sinister Jane Harman cyber breach deserves closer inspection.  Fein states, " I find it ridiculous that the Chair of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security and Intelligence had this type of breach with her internet security. As someone whose millions of dollars of shares in Harman International also included financial ties to a wholly-owned company until this spring, QNX software in Canada, involved in cyber security and encryption software at a top-security clearance level, the technology available to her is beyond the ordinary internet user."

Harman International is still involved with QNX after the acquisition by RIM. Fein continues, "In addition, the timing of the rumored 'breach' of Harman's WiFi oddly coincides with the pushing of the Cyber Security bill Jane Harman currently is attempting to maneuver through Congress."

Harman International acquired QNX Software in 2004 which sent the stock soaring to almost $125 a share.  During that period QNX technology through Harris Corporation received Department of Defense contracts for use in the Joint Tactical Radio Systems on the Falcon III used by ground troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It has been used by NASA and other defense systems. QNX Software had been sited by the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness for possible security vulnerabilities which can be found on DHS's website: http://search.us-cert.gov/search?q=qnx&btnG.x=0&btnG.y=0&btnG=Go&entqr=0&ud=1& sortÚte%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&output=xml_no_dtd&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&clientÞfault_fron tend&proxystylesheetÞfault_frontend&siteÞfault_collection .

"Jane Harman has said she breathes security 24/7.  Now there are rumors that her own internet has been compromised, yet she is involved with one of the top cyber security software companies in the world.  Further, this software through QNX is used by our own military and distributed to countries like Russia and China under Harman's watch without knowledge or constraints of distribution to rogue countries.  And yet she expects the voters of the 36th district to look to her for securing our nation. Harman has been silent as has Newsweek on my call for her to divest from Harman International shares due to their business ties to Iran.  Her silence with the rumors of a cyber security breach, begs the question as to whether she is making political-hay by playing the victim to divert attention away from my open letter to Jon Meacham of Newsweek calling for his due diligence in the acquisition process of the magazine."

HCI3 Releases New Analysis Tools to Support Implementation of Bridges to Excellence and PROMETHEUS Payment

Fully operational tools and resources help improve quality and reduce cost of care

NEWTOWN, Conn., July 12 -- To help health care providers in their efforts to become accountable care organizations (ACOs) and payers in developing value-based payment initiatives, the non-profit Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute(TM), Inc. (HCI3(TM)) is releasing a series of analytical tools on its new website. The resources are designed to support implementation of HCI3's two leading payment reform strategies - Bridges to Excellence® (BTE) and PROMETHEUS Payment®.

"HCI3's programs are fully operational with a focus on measured outcomes that will support ACOs in their efforts to reduce care defects and take a team approach to patient care," said Francois de Brantes, HCI3's Executive Director. "By realigning payment incentives with an emphasis on results, total cost and quality of care, these new tools and resources will help employers, providers and health plans design and implement programs that will measurably improve health care value through evidence-based incentive programs and payment reform. Our programs are designed to be rapidly deployed 'as is,' or can be customized depending on the needs of a community."

Under the HCI3 umbrella, BTE programs focus on measuring and rewarding the quality of physician practices, and PROMETHEUS Payment on bundled payments. The organization brings together provider performance measurement and payment reform.

Ability to measure complication rates

The new ECR® (Evidence-informed Case Rate) Analysis Tool enables employers, health plans and providers to examine their claims data, calculate savings opportunities, and compare potentially avoidable complication (PAC) rates for multiple chronic conditions against national and regional averages. Developed by HCI3 with support from Discern Consulting, this on-line tool enables organizations that have downloaded HCI3's freeware and analyzed their claims data to examine how efficiently health resources are being used relative to benchmarks, and prioritize quality improvement.

An ECR® is a patient-specific budget for the entire episode of medical care. It includes the prices of all covered services (hospital, physicians, pharmacy, rehabilitation facility, etc.) that would typically treat a patient for a given condition, adjusted for the severity and complexity of the patient's condition. The ECR® Analysis Tool generates an opportunity report highlighting the savings that can be achieved by reducing a population's rate of potentially avoidable complications.

In addition to the ECR Analysis Tool, HCI3's new website provides physicians with a decision-support tool to guide them in selecting a pathway to recognition in any one of the Bridges to Excellence programs. This Recognition pathway tool will also provide physicians with information on various P4P programs that support the BTE Recognitions.

The site will also serve as an educational hub for payment reform and provide technical information to support program implementations.

"We are excited that these tools are now available for employers, health plans and others such as Medicaid programs that pay for health services. HCI3's tools provide evidence-based and severity-adjusted measures permitting health care purchasers to compare how efficiently their health care dollars are spent. This is a critical ingredient of payment reform," said Dennis White, Senior Vice President, Value-Based Purchasing for the National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH).

The ECR Analysis tool is used in NBCH's eValue8(TM) program, the nation's leading standardized Request for Information tool used by employers and coalitions to measure and compare health plan performance. As part of its eValue8 program, NBCH currently asks participating health plans to use the ECR Analysis Tool to report potentially avoidable costs in management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and is expanding to include all ECRs for the 2011 review process.

Physician finder for consumers

While physicians and practices recognized by Bridges to Excellence can be found on a number of public sites, consumers can now search for these physicians on HCI3's site.

HCI3's activities are supported by grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the New York State Health Foundation, and the Colorado Health Foundation.

Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute(TM), Inc.

The Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute TM, Inc. (HCI3(TM)) is a not-for-profit multi-stakeholder organization resulting from the merger of Bridges To Excellence, Inc. and PROMETHEUS Payment, Inc. The mission of the organization is to create significant improvements in the quality and affordability of health care by developing and implementing programs that recognize and reward physicians, hospitals and other health care providers that deliver safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable and patient-centered care. Through its PROMETHEUS Payment® model and Bridges to Excellence® Recognitions, HCI3 offers a comprehensive package of solutions to employers, health plans and coalitions to improve the flawed incentives that currently permeate the U.S. health care system. http://www.HCI3.org

3D Experience Hits the Small Screen

LG's 55- and 47-inch class** LX9500, the world's first Full LED 3D HDTV, provides consumers with the latest 3D-capable LED display technology, works with the use of active shutter glasses and an emitter built directly into the television to provide 3D content in Full HD 1080p resolution to each eye.

LG's proprietary Full LED Slim technology elevates picture quality with LED backlighting that supports detailed local dimming for improved contrast and detail, while also allowing for a sleek frame with an ultra-slim .92-inch wide bezel for a virtually borderless look. The set itself measures less than an inch thick at its thinnest point. With up to 240 addressable LED segments (on the 55LX9500), this state-of-the-art HDTV provides deeper black levels, sharper colors and an overall uniform picture quality that typically could not be achieved on an ultra-thin set. With an astonishing 480Hz refresh rate, LED local dimming, 2D THX Certification and its eye-catching super-slim frame, the LX9500 makes for a stunning display whether the power is on or off.

The LX9500 also offers consumers virtually limitless entertainment options through NetCast Entertainment Access. This model is Wi-Fi enabled (adaptor required, sold separately), so online content can be accessed through a wireless connection to a home network. LG's LX9500 series also incorporates LG's unique "Magic Wand" remote system that provides an intuitive interaction with the set.

Featuring LED Plus technology, the LX6500 combines edge lighting and local dimming for greater control of individual sections of the picture, based on the actual on-screen content which will deliver better contrast, amazing clarity and color detail, as well as greater energy efficiency compared to conventional LCD TVs. With the dynamic mega contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1, the LX6500 delivers stunning colors and deeper blacks, so concerns about seeing details in dark scenes are a thing of the past. View sports, video games and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur and in crystal clarity with LG's TruMotion(TM) 240Hz technology, which enables your TV to keep up with the fastest moving scenes.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Missouri Launches healthychat.com to Engage Consumers in Dialogue about Health Care Reform

Anthem Expands use of Technology and Social Media to Broaden Reach to Consumers

ST. LOUIS, July 12 -- Health care reform will impact every American in some way. The question is how and when? The healthychat.com website was created to address the many questions consumers have about health insurance.  Since its launch on May 1, thousands have viewed healthychat.com, creating a community forum addressing myriad health care questions.

Through the forum provided by healthychat.com consumers have a great opportunity to have their health reform questions answered, such as will my premiums go up because of health care reform? How does the health care reform legislation affect preventive care benefits? When can I add my child who is 23 back on to my health plan?

"Our goal is to create a straight-forward, honest dialogue between individuals and us," said Kate Quinn, vice president, corporate marketing for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield's parent company. "By offering a forum on healthychat.com, we are providing an interactive place where consumers can participate in an open discussion about health benefits and the impact of health care reform."

The discussions on healthychat.com are driven by the users of the site. In addition to posing questions, the healthychat.com site also provides access to social media components such as Twitter and Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/healthychat and Twitter@healthy_chat, respectively.  These features expand on the current use of social media being by Anthem, most notably in a campaign to engage consumers in interactive programs to help improve their health and the health of those around them.

A key component of the ongoing campaign is the utilization of social media to reach members and consumers beyond traditional broadcast and print media.  It introduced people to the Health Footprint, a measure of health influence and consumers are invited to a microsite where they can calculate their own Health Footprint.  A Facebook page, Twitter feed and YouTube channel support the effort, and Bob Harper from "The Biggest Loser" also has joined the cause, regularly adding his own inspiring perspective on living a healthier life.

Quinn added, "healthychat.com provides another great tool to reach, and engage, more individuals.  It illustrates further growth in our use of technology and social media to reach consumers more quickly and efficiently and is part of our overall effort to improve service, quality and help improve people's health.  We hope that consumers will find these tools valuable as they navigate the health care reform changes, and as they look for ways to improve their own health, and the health of those around them."

NETGEAR Delivers Higher Business Network Performance With New ProSafe® Smart Switch

Best Selling ProSafe® Smart Switch Family Adds an Option under $400 that Easily and Cost-Effectively Manages Increasing Voice, Video, and Data Traffic

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 12 -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative networking solutions for businesses, homes and service providers, today announced the addition of a NETGEAR ProSafe® Smart Switch to deliver higher network performance for businesses, without the cost and complexity of traditional enterprise vendor switches. The NETGEAR ProSafe 8-port Gigabit PoE Smart Switch    (GS110TP) enables businesses to quickly, easily and cost-effectively handle the explosive growth of voice, video, and data traffic experienced across business networks. Priced under $400, the NETGEAR ProSafe GS110TP is designed for companies that want to enhance their network with a low port density solution with the combination of Gigabit speed and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.

"We've been working with the ProSafe GS110TP for the past couple months and the configuration and network management have been extremely intuitive and straightforward," said Andrew Roper of Virginia-based technology integrator, BCS Voice and Data Solutions. "The ProSafe GS110TP is able to monitor VOIP, IP surveillance, and our normal and growing data usage patterns. It is also remarkably versatile and just so much more cost-efficient than using managed switch solutions. Plus, thanks to the compact size and low noise level, we hardly notice it's in our office."

The new NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switch is for businesses that want to easily deploy VOIP, IP surveillance, or video conferencing and efficiently manage all IP devices such as wireless access points, IP phones and IP cameras on the network. It prioritizes voice and video traffic and other real-time applications over less latency-sensitive traffic, ensuring superior reliability and quality. And it enables businesses to extend the intelligence of their network to connect high speed servers or power users from any location.

"We have customers from businesses of all sizes who need powerful smart switches that reliably move growing volumes of voice, video and data traffic at optimal levels," said Maggie Wu, product line manager, Business Switching for NETGEAR. "Our latest addition to the ProSafe line reflects NETGEAR's commitment to these businesses; we build intelligent products that don't pass cost and complexity onto users. ProSafe Smart Switches are affordable and easy to set up right out of the box."

Energy efficient and a "Whisper-Quiet" design

The ProSafe GS110TP smart switch includes eight dedicated PoE-capable copper ports plus two additional fiber SFP ports for uplinks designed to prioritize, queue and maximize busy traffic on a business network. In addition, the smart switch offers useful PoE power management features to help control and monitor power resources. It has a timer that can help turn off the PoE ports during certain times of the day so that business networks can be more secure. In addition, it increases the energy efficiency of the networks as the switch can prioritize the power usage so that specified ports are always guaranteed to get the power first if total power required exceeds the total power budget. And it assigns PoE ports dynamically depending on the actual power need of the individual network devices so no calculation is necessary. Meanwhile, with a fanless design and compact form factor, the ProSafe GS110TP offers quiet operation and is suitable for deployments in any type of environment, especially ones which are sensitive to noise.

"Web-managed switches have been highly successful over the past two years, as they balance the need for advanced features with the necessity of keeping expenditures in check," said Matthias Machowinski, Directing Analyst, Enterprise Voice and Data for Infonetics Research, Inc.  "NETGEAR's latest introduction rounds out their smart switch portfolio by extending the smart switch value proposition down to a PoE model."

The NETGEAR ProSafe 8-port Gigabit PoE Smart Switch is available now in the US for $390.00 MSRP, from leading direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers. All NETGEAR ProSafe products, including the ProSafe GS110TP, are backed by a lifetime warranty, 24/7 technical support and optional ProSupport(TM) Maintenance Packages.

AT&T and The Marcus Graham Project Join Forces to Launch Advertising Agency and Connectivity Research Program

AT&T Sponsors The Marcus Graham Project 2010 Boot Camp; Three-Month Program Offers Unique Learning Experience for Aspirants in Advertising and Marketing

DALLAS, July 12 -- AT&T* announced today that it will be the 2010 sponsor of The Marcus Graham Project's iCR8 boot camp, a 10-week program that provides aspiring advertising and marketing leaders with the opportunity to gain the exposure and experience necessary to solidify careers within the industry.

As part of the program, boot camp participants created a full-service agency called MetaTHINQ, for which they will implement a full-scale market research study focusing on connectivity, and provide real-world marketing and advertising solutions for AT&T, Globe Aware, Passport and other clients.

The Marcus Graham Project (MGP) is a Dallas-based nonprofit organization and national network of diverse professionals focused on developing and mentoring the next generation of diverse thought leaders within the advertising, media and marketing industry. MGP and AT&T recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion at all levels. According to a 2008 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, only 16 percent of employees in advertising and marketing were people of color. AT&T's support of MGP reaffirms its continued focus on diversity and inclusion in the workforce, which are essential components of a successful business strategy.

"We are proud to support The Marcus Graham Project and its mission," said Jennifer Jones, vice president of diverse markets, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "By supporting unique programs like the 2010 iCR8 boot camp, we are continuing AT&T's commitment to the diverse communities we service and attempting to make a real difference in terms of diversity within these professional fields. Additionally, the research findings from the project will be used to help us better target and meet the connectivity needs of these segments."

As part of its sponsorship, AT&T will underwrite a research study to be rolled out by MetaTHINQ. The curriculum based campaign, will give the MetaTHINQ team the opportunity to better understand technology usage, the importance of connectivity and the existing barriers to leveraging technology within diverse communities across the country.

Six MetaTHINQ team members will begin their journey on a cross country tour from Dallas, Texas on July 12, and drive through a set of routes bound for Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; and Washington, D.C. respectively. Along the way the students will conduct market research interviews and forum discussions, as well as meet with industry and community leaders who will share their insight on technology usage as it relates to their specific communities. The culmination of their work is a final research study they will share with telecommunications industry professionals and communities across the U.S.

"We were excited to know that a company literally in our own backyard has taken an interest in what we are doing. It truly gives us encouragement to know that a global organization has taken notice of our efforts and we hope that other corporations follow their lead in advancing diversity," said Lincoln Stephens, founder, The Marcus Graham Project.

In addition to diversity and inclusion being essential parts to business success, AT&T understands that continued broadband adoption in the U.S. is crucial to empower communities across the country and support the development of a competitive workforce. AT&T's involvement with the iCR8 boot camp is another way it creates awareness about the importance of broadband access.

Ruckus Wireless and Bradford Networks Collaborate on Smarter Network Access Control for Enterprise Wi-Fi

Interoperability of Bradford Network Sentry(TM) Product Line and Ruckus "Smart Wi-Fi" Combines More Reliable and Longer Range Wi-Fi with Greater Secure Policy Management Control of WLANs

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and CONCORD, N.H., July 12 -- Ruckus Wireless(TM), the smart mobile networking company, announced today that it has teamed with Bradford Networks to combine Adaptive Network Security (ANS) capabilities with Ruckus ZoneFlex(TM) "Smart Wi-Fi" products and technology.

Additionally, Bradford has joined the Ruckus Interoperability and Open Testing (RIOT) program, a joint development and interoperability program specifically designed to ensure seamless operation between third-party systems and Ruckus.

The combined, best-of-breed solution lets enterprise customers better protect their wireless LANs (WLANs) by setting policies for how different user groups such as employees, students and guests, are provided network access.

Bradford's ANS solution, Network Sentry, goes beyond traditional Network Access Control (NAC) tools. Based on pre-established policies, Network Sentry adapts to changing security needs by responding and securely provisioning network resources automatically. As part of this joint partnership, Ruckus ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi products have completed extensive interoperability testing with Network Sentry.

"With Bradford, we're now bringing a complete set of user authentication, device compliance and secure access policy enforcement to an entirely new generation of smarter Wi-Fi systems," said Bart Burstein, vice president of product management and business development for Ruckus Wireless. "The combination of our technologies gives enterprises greater control and peace of mind when it comes to granting network access to guests and other users, and keeping critical information secure."

"Ruckus is a true innovator of WLAN technology that ensures reliable performance - even at great distances and through hard-to-penetrate surfaces," said David Yachnin, vice president of business development for Bradford Networks. "The integration of our Network Sentry solutions with Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi will be of tremendous benefit to customers whose demands for ease-of-use, superior performance and simplified security policy enforcement are now being met with our integrated solution."

The Ruckus ZoneFlex WLAN systems are built with Ruckus' patented dynamic beamforming, one of the newest breakthroughs in 802.11 technology that constantly forms and directs Wi-Fi signals over the best performing signal path, continually steering signals around obstacles and interference that can degrade performance. Dynamic beamforming uses constant client feedback built into the standard 802.11 protocol to ensure the fastest performing path is selected for each and every data packet. The result is an adaptive system that can automatically avoid interference, provide better performance at longer ranges, and dynamically adapt to environmental changes without any manual configuration or tuning.

Verizon's Annual Shower for the Shelter Campaign Brings Nearly $13,000 Worth of Household Items to Assist Survivors of Domestic Violence in Virginia

Verizon Employees and the Public Collected Items and Donated Money to Support Shelters That Assist Domestic Violence Survivors; Annual Campaign Has Collected More Than $1.3 Million in Items Nationwide Since 2007

RICHMOND, Va., July 12 -- Nearly $13,000 worth of clothing, personal items and household supplies have been donated to 17 domestic violence shelters across Virginia, thanks to the generosity of Verizon employees, customers and the public.

The Verizon Foundation partnered with the National Network to End Domestic Violence to organize a collection drive at more than 300 Verizon-employee locations across the country - including 21 locations in Virginia - to support 185 domestic violence shelters nationwide.

Verizon employees and members of the public took part in the drive, the annual Shower for the Shelter campaign, to collect needed clothing, personal items and household supplies for shelters that serve survivors of domestic violence.  The public was invited to take part in the campaign by making a tax-deductible, online contribution to the National Network to End Domestic Violence at http://www.nnedv.org/verizon.

This was the Verizon Foundation's fourth annual Shower for the Shelter campaign, and the first open to the public.  Since the campaign's launch in October 2007, Verizon employees have collected more than $1.3 million worth of household items to benefit survivors of domestic violence.

"On behalf of domestic violence programs across Virginia, 'thank you' to the Verizon Shower for Shelter Campaign for supporting the shelters as they strive to provide safety for victims of domestic violence and their children," said Kristi VanAudenhove, co-director of the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance.  "We deeply appreciate Verizon for its long-standing commitment to preventing and addressing intimate partner violence in Virginia and across the nation."

The donated items have been distributed to domestic violence shelters in the local communities where the items were collected.  Money collected through online donations will be distributed to shelters by the National Network to End Domestic Violence.

Robert Woltz Jr., president of Verizon Virginia, said, "Domestic violence affects people in every community.  Through the Shower for the Shelter campaign, Verizon employees and the public are helping to raise awareness of this important issue and providing valuable support to the shelters that provide critical services to survivors of domestic violence."

The Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, supports the advancement of literacy and K-12 education through its free educational website, Verizon Thinkfinity (http://www.thinkfinity.org), and fosters awareness and prevention of domestic violence.  In 2009, the Verizon Foundation awarded $67.9 million in grants to nonprofit agencies in the U.S. and abroad.  It also matched the charitable donations of Verizon employees and retirees, resulting in $26.1 million in combined contributions to nonprofits.  Through Verizon Volunteers, one of the nation's largest employee volunteer programs, Verizon employees and retirees have volunteered more than 5 million hours of community service since 2000. For more information on the foundation, visit http://www.verizonfoundation.org.

NNEDV, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a leading voice for domestic violence victims and their allies.  Its members include the 56 statewide and territorial coalitions against domestic violence.  It works closely with them to understand the needs of domestic violence victims and advocacy programs.  NNEDV has been a premier national organization advancing the movement against domestic violence for the past 15 years, after leading efforts among domestic violence victim advocates and survivors in urging Congress to pass the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994.  To learn more about NNEDV, please visit http://www.nnedv.org.

(NYSE:VZ)(NASDAQ: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 nearly 93 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 last year generated consolidated revenues of more than $107 billion.  For more information, visit http://www.verizon.com.

Abizark.com Promotes Cowhide Men's Business Bags on Bagsok.com

NEW YORK, July 12 -- As the leading international solutions provider, Abizark.com has been helping a variety of online stores increase their market shares and popularity. Operated by Abizark.com, http://www.bagsok.com is an online store providing cheap, trendy bags for both men and women.

Abizark.com is supporting http://www.bagsok.com to promote the exquisite men's bags series. Instead of attracting customers' attention with low prices, Abizark.com emphasizes the superior quality and enjoyment these products bring to their customers. Meanwhile, for any order over $200, buyers get an extra $10 off. Starting from July 5th, this promotion lasts for one month.

The 2010 fashion trends have been focusing on men's accessories such as bags and shoes. Usually fashion designers agree that bags are the most important accessories for women only, however, men have started to pay more attention on their outfits. Different from women's handbags, men's bags are supposed to be practical and durable.

What does Abizark.com think about it? Simon Gao, the marketing director in charge of the project of Bagsok, holds his own opinion toward men's fashion trends: "Men have the desire to be fashionable and to some extent, they expect much more than women. They are seeking a perfect balance between fashion and practicality, therefore our target consumers are successful businessmen. Our business bags on http://www.bagsok.com are made from first-class cowhide and designed by top-ranking designers, representing both the distinguished and exquisite."

Actually, the tide is high in the men's fashion market. Famous brands such as Louis Vuitton, Armani and Prada have released their men's business bags series one after another. Durable texture, fashionable design and low-key style are common features for men's bags. According to Abizark.com, these features help businessmen feel more confident and composed.

There's a great chance lying in the fashion industry: the design and manufacture of men's bags were newly born during the last decade and they are still much less developed compared with women's. In a word, he who seizes this chance will be the winner in the future fashion business.

About Bagsok.com

Bagsok.com is an online bags store devoted to Fast Fashion concepts in the bag market by providing continuously updated quality classic and trendy handbags, luggage, business bags, etc. The extremely low prices of $9.90 let customers enjoy value added products. http://www.bagsok.com/ is one of the online stores operated by BizArk.

Trimble Introduces New Desktop and GPS Handheld Solution for Utility and Smart Grid Asset Maintenance and Inspection

SAN DIEGO, July 12 -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today a new version of its Trimble® Field Inspector solution for utility infrastructure and smart grid asset maintenance and inspection. The solution is comprised of the Trimble Field Inspector software for handheld computers and Trimble Field Inspector Desktop software. Scalable and easy to deploy, the solution leverages Trimble Global Positioning System (GPS) and handheld computing technology to automate a wide variety of field applications for electric, gas, water, and wastewater utilities--from smart meter deployments to routine asset maintenance inspections.

  The announcement was made today at the ESRI International User Conference.

  Trimble Field Inspector Software for Handheld Computers

Trimble Field Inspector software for handhelds provides a robust GPS-enabled mobile solution for optimizing smart grid and utility field operations, including asset installation, maintenance, and inspection.

Using Trimble mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS) handheld devices, the software allows utility field workers to capture GPS time and location information along with 1D and 2D barcode data, digital images, digital sketches and electronic signatures. The GPS data can be used to route jobs, locate workers and assets, and provide a valuable validation of where and when work is performed to support regulatory reporting.

Whether performing electric, gas, water, or wastewater maintenance inspection tasks, the Trimble Field Inspector software helps streamline operations with automated field workflows, easy-to-use smart handheld data collection forms, and the ability to interactively view jobs and assets using a map display. Through a single listing of all jobs and their status, users can quickly and easily locate and identify job assignments and priorities.

By putting utility maintenance inspection technology directly in the hands of the mobile workforce, Trimble Field Inspector allows field crews to complete their work faster and more accurately, enhancing utility service quality, improving system reliability, and reducing cost.

Trimble Field Inspector Desktop Software

Trimble Field Inspector Desktop software leverages existing GIS, asset, and work management databases and workflows to deliver a complete end-to-end handheld maintenance inspection solution for field workers.

The desktop software can connect to an existing ESRI ArcGIS or Open Database Compliant (ODBC) back office system, Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) utility database or the Trimble UtilityCenter® Maintenance-2 module. Field maintenance tasks can be defined, grouped together as jobs, scheduled, assigned, and automatically transferred to handheld computers running the Trimble Field Inspector software.

Utility field workers can then perform maintenance tasks using the predefined workflows and easy-to-use smart data entry forms. Field captured data is then returned to the utility's existing back office GIS, CMMS database or Trimble UtilityCenter Maintenance-2 module to update and track utility and smart grid field asset maintenance work status and history.

The Trimble Field Inspector solution is expected to be available in August 2010 through Trimble's Utilities Field Solutions group. For more information about Trimble Field Inspector solution, visit:  http://www.trimble.com/fieldinspector.shtml.

NETGEAR Announces the Death of Local Media Storage

The first-ever home storage system to support the media-shifting of multimedia content

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 12 -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative networking solutions for homes, businesses and service providers, today eliminated the requirement for local media storage.  The new ReadyNAS® Ultra family of 2-Bay, 4-Bay and 6-Bay network storage systems is perfect for power users yearning to set their digital entertainment content free. The Ultra family is the first-ever storage with media-shifting capabilities, enabling users to centralize media on a ReadyNAS and consume it in any networked location and on any networked device. The Ultra family is more than twice as fast as legacy ReadyNAS systems and has already received glowing reviews.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra Beta Testers Praise TiVo®, Skifta and Orb Technology Integration

"The ReadyNAS Ultra 4 is a tech-head's dream come true; it lets me encode, decode, stream HD video, and no matter where I am, play music and video to any DLNA certified device and a large number of mobile devices thanks to NETGEAR's embedded Skifta(TM) and Orb(TM) technology partnerships," says Shawn Markins, a beta tester and long-time advanced ReadyNAS user. "Couple it with Intel® Atom(TM) processors, full X-RAID2(TM) functionality, and you have a 'force to be reckoned with'.  Now, I have a central location with full data redundancy and enough total storage space to be happy for years."

The ReadyNAS integration with TiVo® enables users to stream video programming, music and photos to any TiVo box in the house. "By streaming television programming, the ReadyNAS gives easy access to stored content and offers a great way to expand the amount of content available to TiVo users," says Tom Cramer, ReadyNAS beta tester and TiVo DVR owner.

The ReadyNAS Ultra family transforms the way people interact with their multimedia content

"NETGEAR's ReadyNAS Ultra family is a major breakthrough, converging mobility and content consumption," said Drew Meyer, director of storage marketing at NETGEAR. "ReadyNAS has always been an excellent choice for storing, sharing and protecting media content, but now our technology firsts take that content to the next level. Users may now shift media from any networked location onto nearly any device and unplug their direct-attached disks."

  --  NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra products are the first TiVo compatible DVR
      network storage systems. Users can now alleviate storage capacity
      concerns by streaming HD programming content to any TiVo box in the
      house at a later date without additional software or computers.
  --  NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra products are the first storage systems with
      Skifta media-shifting capabilities, so users can access their private
      media libraries remotely from any DLNA® certified(TM) device without
      worrying about the physical location of their content.
  --  NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra products are also the first-ever network
      storage systems to include transcoding. The Orb integration means that
      a ReadyNAS Ultra device automatically formats and sizes streaming
      video content for mobile devices or browsers - on the fly.

  Industry Analyst Comments on NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra

"These are the first storage devices we've seen of this kind on the market - no one else is doing this yet," said Norm Bogen, industry analyst, In-Stat. "The Ultra models are great additions to NETGEAR's home storage product line. They provide advanced features for the multimedia enthusiast, enabling fast access to stored media content from any location via any DLNA certified device."

Additionally, the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra family continues to offer the most advanced storage features for the consumer NAS market today, including X-RAID2(TM), the only self-managing volume expansion technology; ReadyNAS Remote, the only secure drag-and-drop remote access technology; and ReadyNAS Vault, the only embedded online backup and recovery service. ReadyNAS Ultra is the ideal storage system for media enthusiasts looking for a better way to interact with their extensive media collections.

The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 4 ($599.99 MSRP diskless and $899.99 MSRP 2 x 2 TB) and Ultra 6 ($899.99 MSRP diskless and $1349.99 MSRP 3 x 2 TB) are available for immediate pre-order at amazon.com, with shipping starting in mid-July. The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2 will be shipping in October.

SharePoint Mobility for the Masses, Mobile Entree 2.0

Mobile Entree 2.0 provides the most flexible and cost-effective solution for mobile access to SharePoint and Business Intelligence. Providing real time interaction with business information on your mobile device is now for everyone.

MANASSAS, Va., July 12 -- H3 Solutions, Inc. today announced the release of a new major version for its innovative Microsoft® SharePoint® mobile application framework. Mobile Entree® 2.0 ensures that your business processes keep moving, providing SharePoint mobile access to business intelligence (BI) from Windows Phone, iPhone, Android, Symbian S60, WebOS and BlackBerry smartphones.

Mobile Entree 2.0 is the second major release of the mobile application framework for SharePoint, bringing the software to a new level of maturity and functionality. The release features several new capabilities:

  --  Interact with your Excel pivot table & filter on the real-time data to
      make the best decisions
  --  Brand and tailor the look of your mobile application with themes
  --  Innovative Mobile Dashboards

"A worldwide community of SharePoint developers provided valuable insight and feedback, as part of the Mobile Entree partner program and ultimately helped us deliver a great product," said Joe Herres, EVP of Product for H3 Solutions. "We've considered their requests which helped us develop the innovative features that make it easier than ever for our customers to rapidly extend SharePoint to a mobile workforce."

Mobile Entree 2.0: Mobility for the Masses

Integrating seamlessly into the SharePoint architecture, the enhanced Mobile Entree features provide a familiar and efficient platform for developers and IT staff. SharePoint BI is now mobile and the experience goes beyond simply viewing data in a mobile app that only functions on a specific device.

Ground-Breaking Innovation in Mobile Business Intelligence

H3 Solutions is not only revolutionizing the SharePoint mobile industry; they're creating it. Utilizing an Excel Add-in and without the need for any customization, software development or separate servers, users can surface charts, pivot-tables and spreadsheet data to mobile workers in a way never before possible.

Real-time information can now be surfaced to a "mobile dashboard" providing mobile workers with a quick view of the business intelligence that's important to them. A new theming mechanism provides the ability to display a branded mobile experience.  And the capability for customization through an application programming interface (API) means that you can extend your own SharePoint applications.

It's best with ME(TM)

A newly launched educational mini-site, http://itsbestwith.me/, provides information, videos & tutorials on everything new in Mobile Entree.

Electronic Cigarette Retailer Sells at Wholesale Prices to the Public

While most retail and online establishments are selling the popular e cigarette at premium prices, one place is breaking the mold.

GAINESVILLE, Fla., July 10 -- E Cigarettes National, an online e cigarette retailer, has been the low price leader for the popular e cigarette starter kit for over a year and has been a major player in the industry and in starting the fight back against special interest that wishes to stomp out the electronic cigarette.

"We were fighting to save people money and to save smokeless cigarettes, sometimes called e cigarettes, long before it was cool to do so," states Tiffany Ellis of E Cigarettes National. "We went against the grain from the beginning, the customers loved us, but other players in the industry attacked us as did special interest for rocking the boat and defending lower prices and the e cigarette also."

E Cigarettes National claims to continue the fight against special interest and against high prices by offering more for less. Their Firelight E Cigarette starter kits start at just $29.95 for their one battery kit and their standard kit is less than $50.00 and comes with two batteries, 10 replacement cartridges, two atomizers and a home, car and USB charger.

When compared to the competition that offers two batteries, one atomizer and 5 replacement cartridges and a home charger for sometimes upwards of three times the cost of the Firelight e cigarette starter kit, E Cigarettes National is still leading the industry with lower prices and better customer service than the more expensive competitors.

E Cigarettes National is the top e cigarette retailer in the United States with unmatched customer service and quality products. Visit their site at http://www.ecigarettesnational.com/.

Charitable Donations Go Mobile

- Philanthropic iPhone and iPod touch application, PocketPhilanthropist, features different charity each week

BERKELEY, Calif., July 9 -- Two former high school classmates from Seattle have teamed up, 11 years later, to create PocketPhilanthropist, an iPhone and iPod touch application designed to raise funds for a different charity each week.

Available as of July 5, the free "app" can be downloaded from iTunes. With it, users are able to make charitable donations, starting at $1, with the touch of a finger. Each week, PocketPhilanthropist features a different charity and distributes "app" generated donations back to that charity.

"After witnessing the power of mobile donations for the Haiti crisis last year, we've found that avenues for making donations should become increasingly simple and accessible," said Nathan Moyer, co-founder of PocketPhilanthropist, Inc. Moyer and Hong founded the organization after witnessing over $3 million raised in one day for the Haiti crisis via mobile text donations.  "Raising funds is a challenge for most charities, our vision is to simplify the process for them, and inspire people to take action today," said Moyer.

Being one of the only downloadable applications with a "Donate" button, PocketPhilanthropist hopes to raise $1 million in its first year. The initial charities to be featured include 3MAlliance, an effort to save the rain forest in Ecuador, and One Mission International, an effort to fulfill the needs of Ethiopia's orphaned children.

Throughout the months of July and August, PocketPhilanthropist is competing in the Pepsi Refresh competition in hopes of winning funds that will be used to support the non-profit. To vote for PocketPhilanthropist, visit http://www.refresheverything.com/philanthropy.

TranquiliCity App Points the Way to New York City's Best Destinations for Refuge, Relaxation and Renewal

NEW YORK, July 9 -- TranquiliCity(TM), a new application for the iPhone and iPod Touch, uses GPS guidance to pinpoint the way to relaxing locations throughout New York City. It includes carefully selected serene parks, soothing day spas, quiet meditation spots, rejuvenating yoga studios, waterfront retreats, secret sanctuaries and more.

Created by Allan Ishac, bestselling author of New York's 50 Best Places to Find Peace and Quiet, TranquiliCity is the ideal application for native New Yorkers, business travelers, the stressed out and the tensed up, anyone looking for a calming counterpoint to a fast moving city. The app includes more than 100 sanity-restoring entries in Manhattan and the five boroughs--with distances, directions, descriptions and photographs.

"New Yorkers know that for every hour of the city's non-stop action, we need a few minutes of restorative solitude and calm," says Ishac. "With TranquiliCity, even locals will find serene escapes they never knew existed." Ishac has spent more than fifteen years searching for urban sanctuaries and is an authority on creating tranquil city lifestyles. He is also the creator of the Internet oasis, findpeaceandquiet.com.

TranquiliCity includes original and exclusive content, and is the first and only app to focus on the quiet side of the world's busiest city. Locations are sorted into 12 categories including public spaces, parks, spiritual centers, museums, gardens, quiet restaurants, and more. TranquiliCity entries can be searched by category, name or distance from current location, and the app includes a "Favorites" feature allowing users to bookmark the best retreats for convenient revisits or for trip planning to New York. Hot links also make it possible to phone for reservations at day spas and serene restaurants, and with just a tap on the in-app map users get walking, driving or public bus directions from wherever they are to the tranquil place they'd like to visit.

The TranquiliCity app is currently available at the iTunes store for $.99. A full description of the new app and its unique features can be found at tranquilicityapp.com.
