brite-View CinemaGo with Internet Radio Debuts
The Perfect Compact Player, CinemaGo Offers Personalized Entertainment at Home or on the Go
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 30 -- brite-View by Xpike Innovation yesterday launched the CinemaGo (BV-5005HD Mini CG), a special version of the highly successful CinemaTube (BV-5005HD). The small, sleek CinemaGo's eSATA interface data transfer speed is three times faster than a USB 2.0 interface. CinemaGo also includes a Wi-Fi adapter for easy network access, a torrent download feature and MUZEE internet radio channels.
CinemaGo's vivid 1080p high-definition picture quality can be displayed on HDTV in all video formats, including MOV, WMV, MKV, AVI, VOB, DIVX, FLV and RMVB. Content can be delivered from a locally attached hard drive via the home network or the internet. MUZEE broadcasts thousands of sports, music, news and talk show channels from 210 countries. San Francisco Giants fans can listen to KNBR in a Miami hotel room, and music fans can groove to the latest European dance hits on Digitally Imported.
The CinemaGo's compact design is perfect for enjoying personalized entertainment whether at home or on the go, even in the car. The eSATA interface, a feature requested by brite-View customers, lets users watch Blu-ray movies without waiting for the movies to load. Networking multiple CinemaGo devices enables content streaming and file transfer between attached hard drives.
"A good digital media player transforms your TV into an entertainment hub, showing content from your computer, a storage device or the network," said Robert Lo, CEO of Xpike Innovation. "The CinemaGo does exactly that, with the potential to do much more." Lo said talks with partners are ongoing, and hinted that firmware upgrades may bring even more web-based content and services to the CinemaGo.
The CinemaGo is available now for pre-order on brite-View's website for $109.99.

Irish Dairy Board Realises Cost Savings on Cross Border Invoicing With Sterling e-Invoicing

Irish Dairy Board Realises Cost Savings on Cross Border Invoicing With Sterling e-Invoicing
LONDON, June 30, 2010-- Irish Dairy Board (IDB), a major international exporter of
Irish dairy products with an annual turnover of over EUR1.8 billion, has
implemented Sterling e-Invoicing [
http://www.sterlingcommerce.co.uk/products/business-integration/e-invoicing/]
from Sterling Commerce, an AT&T Inc company, (NYSE:T), to reduce debtor days
and administration costs, and improve order-to-cash processes. IDB has
implemented the solution for over 60 customers to date, and plans to roll out
to the rest of the customer base in the coming months. Once fully
implemented, the system will cover all EU countries and North America.
IDB, an existing user of Sterling Commerce's flagship
enterprise integration platform, Sterling Integrator, chose Sterling
e-Invoicing as an on-premise add-on, making set-up and ROI on the e-invoicing
solution quick and easy. Sterling e-Invoicing handles both PDF signature
authentication and EDI invoice processing, allowing businesses of all sizes
and IT sophistication to trade easily with IDB.
"The scale of the software solution is a match for our large
customer base and multiple day-to-day business processes," says Sean Flynn,
business analyst at IDB. "The feed from the ERP system is totally automatic,
eliminating the need for manual printing of invoices for dispatch to the
customer. The time and cost savings are substantial. We want to make it as
easy as possible for partners and customers to do business with us and the
feedback has already been very positive."
With Sterling e-Invoicing IDB becomes an early adopter of a
comprehensive cross border e-invoicing technology in Ireland: "The solution
was implemented following a full compliance test with independent auditors,"
says Flynn. "It was the first time they had worked on a cross-border
e-invoicing project."
"IDB realises not only the cost-savings but also the
compliance benefits of automation that comes from implementing a cross-border
e-invoicing solution," says Dave Carmichael, senior product marketing manager
at Sterling Commerce. "Businesses that trade internationally must deal with
regional variations in tax and financial regulation and the cost of
non-compliance can be high. IDB is setting an example within the industry
with the ability to archive and re-validate any invoice, at any time, and
easily run summary reports upon request by auditors."

Travelling With Everyday Medical Conditions can Become Life Threatening When They Can't be Communicated

Travelling With Everyday Medical Conditions can Become Life Threatening When They Can't be Communicated
LONDON, June 30, 2010--
- New iPhone App Costs Just GBP2.39 - and Brings Peace of Mind to
Travellers
SOS 4 Life, a company which provides medical mobile applications,
announces the launch of its 'Health Records' iPhone App dedicated to
providing peace of mind during a medical crisis whilst in a foreign country.
The application stores your most important medical information including
allergies, medical conditions and medication in a health record on your
mobile phone and provides an immediate translation of the health record into
Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch - without the need of
an internet connection.
Even travellers who have such common conditions like Diabetes, High Blood
Pressure or allergies can easily be misdiagnosed and not receive the right
treatment for their condition when language barriers prevent doctors and
nurses from fully understanding the patient's problem. If the traveller's
conditions are more complex than that, the application can also cope, as it
currently has over 700 conditions pre-populated in its extensive
multi-lingual data base with more being added all the time. Users of the App
are encouraged to provide feedback and add conditions to the ever-growing
list.
The product has been created in collaboration with more than 20 medical
practitioners across Europe and was the brainchild of Dr Heike Unverhau, a
German-born surgeon and A&E physician turned business consultant, who now
lives in the UK. Dr. Unverhau comments "SOS 4 Life has been created to help
people who travel, live or work abroad to take better care of their health.
We wanted to develop a convenient, helpful and reliable application that
would help people to live life to the full whilst minimising some of the
risks associated with international travel. Travelling increases our risk of
attracting disease by up to five times [G. Hasle, Oslo Travel Clinic, 2009,
at ISTN Conference], and few people are prepared for this situation. They
often don't realize that doctors need to know their medical history to help
effectively, especially when they have pre-existing conditions, take
medication or have allergies. They might be able to exchange a few words with
their doctor, but when it comes to medical facts this is rarely enough."
The SOS 4 Life application is available for download from the iTunes
AppStore for currently just GBP 2.39 one-off in a holiday promotion.

EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition - A New Generation of Hard Disk Recovery Software
NEW YORK, June 29 -- EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition, the innovative and leading data recovery software, has proven itself to be the first world-wide free hard disk recovery software and a new generation in its trade since its release.

Samsung Galaxy S Launch Event
Poster: Aron Schatz
Posted on June 29, 2010 at 2:27:17 PM
ASE Publishing will be at the Samsung Galaxy S launch event in NYC tonight. We'll have our digicamcorders to record the launch. Expect video coverage tonight or tomorrow. The Galaxy S is a new Android based smartphone that will be offered by a few different carriers. It looks like a GSM type phone, but they said it will be released for four carriers which might mean Verizon may carry it (or Sprint). I'd bet that all of them will have it in different versions.

Stylish Watches, Local Souvenir Gear Add to Retail Offerings at the AIRMALL® at Boston Logan International Airport
- New Units Include a First-of-its-Kind Vending Machine Filled with Children's Watches -
BOSTON, June 29 -- Travelers in search of attractive, durable timepieces or commemorative clothing from the Boston area now have new destinations at the AIRMALL® at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). BAA Boston, developer of the AIRMALL® at BOS, recently welcomed the following retail units to the concessions program:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090311/NE82419LOGO )
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090311/NE82419LOGO )
-- An internationally recognized brand, Swatch offers high-quality
timepieces that are stylish and fun. Swatch first made its mark on
the retail landscape in the 1980s, becoming well known for its
colorful, collectible plastic watches. Since then, Swatch has
expanded the brand to include women's fashion jewelry and
sophisticated dress watches for men and women in stainless steel and
leather. Swatch (468 square feet) is located on Terminal B/Pier A.
-- Also located in Terminal B/Pier A, Boston Tops (591 square feet)
features a wide variety of regionally themed clothing, including
athletic wear for Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots fans.
Shoppers can also select from casual apparel, gifts, collectibles and
memorabilia that commemorate local landmarks and events.
-- Flik Flak, a Swatch brand dedicated solely to children, has become
available for the first time in a retail setting in North America with
its debut in a new Vigix vending machine at the AIRMALL® at BOS. The
sleek units are Vigix's first foray into airports as well and offer an
operational advantage to retailers because of the unit's portability.
The machine is located in Terminal E.
"We're delighted to debut the Flik Flak brand in the Vigix vending machines at the AIRMALL® at BOS. BAA has always been at the forefront of trends in airport concessions, and we think the Vigix machines could signal the beginning of a new approach for operators that want to include vending machines in their merchandising mix," said Mike Caro, vice president of BAA Boston. "The AIRMALL® at BOS provides discerning travelers with a host of high-quality retail stores, and these new additions will only enhance that reputation. Whether they're looking for souvenir clothing from Boston or a good-looking watch, travelers can shop at Boston Tops and Swatch knowing they'll pay 'Regular Mall Prices...Guaranteed.' No mark-ups."
"Automated retail is an explosive segment of the rapidly growing self-service market. Customers enjoy the convenience of checking themselves in, checking themselves out, and purchasing electronics, watches, and other items on their own. Vigix has developed the only dispensing kiosk that takes up only two square feet of space and is uniquely suited for an airport environment with space constraints," added Steve Pytka, CEO of Vigix.
BAA USA currently manages and develops the retail concessions program for Boston Logan International Airport in terminals B and E, which represents a total of 90,000 square feet of retail concession space. The AIRMALL® at BOS boasts more than 35 restaurants and bars, nearly 20 specialty retail units, 13 news & gift stores and a host of other services.

Innovation Leaders, VIZIO and HULU, Team Up to Bring Web-Based Entertainment Direct to the TV
-VIZIO announces partnership with Hulu to deliver new subscription service Hulu Plus to VIZIO Internet Apps HDTVs and Blu-ray Players - Hulu Plus to offer full current season runs, full series runs and multiple back seasons of hit TV programs from ABC, FOX and NBC on demand, streamed right to the TV
IRVINE, Calif., June 29 -- VIZIO, America's HDTV and Consumer Electronics Company, announces the addition of Hulu Plus(TM) to its VIZIO INTERNET APPS(TM) (VIA) platform.

"We're very excited about this partnership with Hulu Plus. It will provide VIZIO customers with the freedom to watch what they want, when they want, directly from the internet on their VIZIO Internet Apps HDTVs," stated Laynie Newsome, VIZIO Co-Founder and Chief Sales Officer.
Since the first VIA-enabled HDTVs hit the market in late 2009, the response from VIA users has been overwhelmingly positive, with adoption rates that far exceed the industry average. This high connect rate is driven in large part by the convenience of the built-in 802.11n dual-band wireless Internet connection and Bluetooth remote with sliding QWERTY keyboard.
"We designed VIA to complement the HDTV viewing experience and made a conscious decision to drive some very advanced technology into the TV in order to make the transition for consumers as effortless as possible," said Matthew McRae, Chief Technology Officer at VIZIO.
VIZIO's line of VIA HDTVs is available in a full range of sizes, from the convenient 22" size up to the popular 55" model with TruLED(TM) direct LED backlighting for the ultimate picture quality. The 22" and mid-size TV's (26", 32", 37") make great bedroom TVs to watch shows and movies, while the larger models (42", 47", 55") bring the big-screen experience to the living room. Hulu Plus joins other popular VIA apps, which includes Amazon® Video On Demand, Flickr®, Netflix®, Rhapsody®, Twitter®, VUDU®, NBA® Game Time, and Yahoo!® TV Widgets.

"We're very excited about this partnership with Hulu Plus. It will provide VIZIO customers with the freedom to watch what they want, when they want, directly from the internet on their VIZIO Internet Apps HDTVs," stated Laynie Newsome, VIZIO Co-Founder and Chief Sales Officer.
Since the first VIA-enabled HDTVs hit the market in late 2009, the response from VIA users has been overwhelmingly positive, with adoption rates that far exceed the industry average. This high connect rate is driven in large part by the convenience of the built-in 802.11n dual-band wireless Internet connection and Bluetooth remote with sliding QWERTY keyboard.
"We designed VIA to complement the HDTV viewing experience and made a conscious decision to drive some very advanced technology into the TV in order to make the transition for consumers as effortless as possible," said Matthew McRae, Chief Technology Officer at VIZIO.
VIZIO's line of VIA HDTVs is available in a full range of sizes, from the convenient 22" size up to the popular 55" model with TruLED(TM) direct LED backlighting for the ultimate picture quality. The 22" and mid-size TV's (26", 32", 37") make great bedroom TVs to watch shows and movies, while the larger models (42", 47", 55") bring the big-screen experience to the living room. Hulu Plus joins other popular VIA apps, which includes Amazon® Video On Demand, Flickr®, Netflix®, Rhapsody®, Twitter®, VUDU®, NBA® Game Time, and Yahoo!® TV Widgets.

ClubCharity.com Celebrates Official Launch With Celebrity Support for Charitable Giving
Bob Johnson Creates Website for Online Philanthropy
BETHESDA, Md., June 29 -- Robert L. Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies, today announced the official launch of http://www.ClubCharity.com, the premier online charity auction site for corporate and celebrity charitable giving.
ClubCharity.com is a custom built auction platform developed in affiliation with CharityBids, an online auction site renowned for its global non-profit fund raising and expertise. ClubCharity.com will allow celebrities to auction off items and experiences as part of their social responsibility using the technology of the Internet.
As a part of the launch event in coordination with the Entertainment Industry Foundation, Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks, donated his customized 2004 Prius to support Major League Baseball's Welcome Back Veterans (WBV) initiative. Welcome Back Veterans was created to assist OEF/OIF veterans and their families with deployment-related mental health concerns. The 2004 Prius has been converted to a plug-in Hybrid and features an autographed glove box personally signed by Hanks.
"I'm truly excited about the relationships we have created for charitable giving. Through ClubCharity.com, this is a great way to connect celebrities and their fans while benefitting charity at the same time," said Johnson, founder of ClubCharity.com. "Tom Hanks is a prime example of how his star power will directly benefit a worthwhile cause because he is one of the most influential celebrities and his support is invaluable," he concluded.
"MLB's Welcome Back Veterans is offering crucial support services to America's military men and women and their families," said Hanks. "When it comes to supporting our veterans and their families, I am proud to do whatever I can."
In addition to Hanks, Johnson has garnered the support from many celebrities in the entertainment industry on behalf of ClubCharity.com. Having donated for auction a stay at his personal villa off the coast of Anguilla, Johnson has rallied other celebrities to become involved for their designated charities. A sample of celebrity items that were donated to the site include:
-- Holly Robinson Peete, designer gown, made for and worn by Holly
Robinson Peete;
-- Emmitt Smith, autographed Reebok Dallas Cowboys #22 Jersey and
authentic autographed NFL football;
-- Roger Federer, match-worn shirt from the 2009 ATP World Tour Masters
1000;

Lockheed Martin Unveils Updated Code One Magazine Website

Lockheed Martin Unveils Updated Code One Magazine Website
FORT WORTH, Texas, June 29 -- Code One, the award-winning airpower magazine published by Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), has officially unveiled its newly updated and expanded website (http://www.codeonemagazine.com). The new website, like the print magazine, reports on all Lockheed Martin Aeronautics aircraft, air vehicles and systems.
"The new Code One website reflects the rapidly expanding digital communications world," said Joe LaMarca, vice president of communications for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics . "The new site allows for much more timely and in-depth coverage of the entire family of Lockheed Martin aircraft. Most importantly, the site continues the magazine's focus on the activities of the customer communities that fly our aircraft."
The new site features current and archived articles from Code One magazine; updated news about Lockheed Martin aircraft and the units flying them; historic photographs; photo galleries; as well as current and archived videos, including the first flights of many legacy and current Lockheed Martin aircraft. The new site will also regularly highlight recent ground and flight test accomplishments on the F-35 Lightning II fighter program. Additional types of aircraft-related content will be added as the site matures. The new Code One website takes full advantage of new media and search engines, such as Digg®, Facebook® and Twitter®.
Code One originated as a product support publication for F-111 and F-16 aircraft in 1986. Through the next 25 years, the scope of the magazine expanded beyond tactical aircraft to include air mobility, maritime patrol and reconnaissance, and cutting-edge air vehicles. The magazine debuted its Internet site in 1996. The site has been revised several times since then, but none to the extent of this most recent update.
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.

Verizon Wireless Texas Network Ready for 2010 Severe Weather Season

Posted on June 29, 2010 at 11:42:01 AM
Verizon Wireless Texas Network Ready for 2010 Severe Weather Season
Network Strengthened to Protect Texans During Inclement Weather
DALLAS, June 29 -- Verizon Wireless, the leading wireless company with the most reliable voice and data network, including the nation's largest wireless 3G broadband network, announced that the network is prepared for the 2010 severe weather season.
To ensure Texas residents have comprehensive, reliable wireless coverage in case of severe weather, and every day, the company invested nearly $268 million during 2009 to strengthen and enhance its wireless network throughout the state.
Highlights of these enhancements include expanding capacity in the company's regional switching facilities throughout Texas, erecting new digital cell sites with on-site back-up power, and deploying a team of "test men" across the state in high-tech vehicles to fine tune the company's all-digital network.
These intensive investments and preparations proved critical during and after past years' extraordinary storm seasons. In the aftermath of even the most devastating weather, the Verizon Wireless network in Texas remained strong while many other wireless communication networks struggled to serve emergency response officials and residents reaching out to insurance providers, family, friends and co-workers.
Additional highlights of the Verizon Wireless 2010 severe weather season preparation and network enhancement include:
-- A comprehensive emergency response plan, including preparing emergency
command centers across Texas in the case of a storm or other crisis.
-- Verizon Wireless network technicians, who serve as the inspiration for
the famous TV Test Man commercials, travel the state in 6 high-tech
vehicles to measure the quality of voice and data calls on Verizon
Wireless and other carriers.
-- The company has a fleet of dozens of Cells on Wheels (COWS), Cells on
Light Trucks (COLTS), and generators on trailers (GOaTS) that can be
rolled into hard-hit locations or areas that need extra network
capacity.
-- Pre-arranging fuel delivery to mobile units and generators to keep the
network operating at full strength even if power is lost for an
extended period of time.
-- Erecting new digital cell sites, of which about 80 percent have their
own on-site generators and fuel tanks to provide backup power.
-- Installation of advanced in-building systems to boost wireless
coverage and services at hospitals, government and emergency
facilities, high-traffic public venues and other locations throughout
Texas.
-- Integrating Alltel Wireless facilities into the more advanced Verizon
Wireless network, so former Alltel customers will benefit from the
nation's most reliable voice and 3G data network.
This year, Verizon Wireless plans to launch its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless services in 25 to 30 markets nationally. LTE will offer customers significantly greater network capacity than even today's most advanced 3G coverage.

About Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable and largest wireless voice and 3G data network, serving nearly 93 million customers.

Amerishore Offers IT Solution Customers a Quality Alternative
Amerishore Customers Get Much-Needed IT Solutions While Helping College Students Enter The Work Force
IRVINE, Calif., June 29 -- By employing students studying to be IT professionals, Amerishore, a technology company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Neudesic, provides customers with quality IT solutions at competitive prices.
Based upon a model that allows companies to choose "Amerishoring" to complement their current on-shore and off-shore IT solutions, Amerishore is gaining traction as a quality alternative for enterprises in need of IT solutions. "Despite today's economic conditions, businesses are continuing to invest in much-needed IT solutions," said Amerishore's CEO Parsa Rohani. "Many of these enterprises are looking for alternative solutions to complement their current IT endeavors. We offer them a way to not only meet their IT needs, but also to help build America's future technology leaders."
Amerishore was the brainchild of Neudesic Regional Director Tracy Derr. "I was looking for a way to build a strong project team for our customers while at the same time, giving paid college interns the entry-level experience necessary to help launch their careers," said Derr. "As a result, we have created Amerishore, where experienced staffers supervise and mentor a group of interns."
Most of Amerishore's interns are students that have exhibited leadership traits in their university lives. One of the company's recent success stories was helping to modernize the system used to create and manage reports for VALIC employees and employers served by the financial services company. Joe McKernan, VALIC's CIO said, "We get a product at rates that are comparable to those offshore. We do internships ourselves. This gives us a year-round internship program to tap into."

"A big reason for this is that we stay one step ahead of the competition with services that slash time-to-placement for laid-off workers, serving the best interests of employees and employers. Transition Concierge To-Go is an excellent example of this."
RiseSmart currently has several thousand employees in the system who can begin using Transition Concierge To-Go immediately. To add the app to their iPhones, users can go to m.risesmart.com, tap the plus sign and then tap "Add to Home Screen." An icon will be added to their iPhone's home screen for easy, one-tap access. Users only need to log in to the app on their first use.
The app sends relevant job opportunities directly to workers' iPhones, enabling them to see the latest job leads that match their skills and preferences; tag jobs they like for follow-up; send themselves a reminder to take action on a job lead; review notifications for job-related Webinars and networking events; contact a RiseSmart Transition Specialist via phone or e-mail with feedback; review preferences, settings, favorites and more.
A primary distinction of RiseSmart's Transition Concierge, compared to traditional outplacement agency offerings, is that the solution provides highly personalized job leads to each employee on a weekly basis. RiseSmart uses proprietary aggregation and semantic search technology to match each employee's job preferences against hundreds of thousands of active job listings across the Web. Then, a specialist assigned to the employee's account hones these results by hand -- ensuring that only pertinent leads are delivered to each employee.
Transition Concierge To-Go was launched as a BlackBerry application in April, and will soon be available on the iPad and Android phones.

LG Electronics Integrates Connectivity, Ease-of-Use, Energy Saving Technologies for Education Market
Network monitors, projectors and flat-panel products help schools stretch their technology budgets to create a more immersive, engaging classroom experience
DENVER, June 29 -- LG Electronics is inspiring educators to create more interactive lesson plans with cost-effective products that enhance learning environments from K-12 classrooms to higher education, district offices, libraries and more. On display this week at the 2010 International Society for Technology in Education Conference (ISTE), LG is highlighting its latest Network Monitors, digital signage, LCD displays and projector solutions for the education market (booth # 762).
"As cost continues to have a heavy influence in technology investments, our broad range of reliable, large-screen LCDs, monitor solutions, and flexible projectors are performance driven in order to maximize budgets and the student experience," said Jeff Dowell, vice president, LG Electronics USA Business Solutions. "From information sharing, to the Internet, to broadcast content, LG's products take the best of technology to transform a static classroom into an interactive, engaging learning experience."
Leading the way is LG's Network Monitor solution that provides schools new ways to extend their technology budgets. This network solution provides a no-hassle virtual desktop computing option - available in both 11- and 31-monitor (model N+) configurations - for classrooms and education environments looking to reduce energy but still effectively engage and communicate with students without purchasing an individual PC per student.
For larger classroom display needs, LG's flat panel monitors and projectors allow for easy viewing of video, stills and presentations.
Individual Workstations
LG's Network Monitors are designed to help educators communicate and inspire their students with interactive lesson plans. This cost-effective solution uses virtual desktop software to connect to an existing PC and redistribute that computer's resources to several users simultaneously. The software divides the computer's resources into independent sessions, maximizing the bandwidth to the fullest extent. In the N+ Network Monitor solution, this can be done with up to 31 monitors placed anywhere in the building.
Workstations that employ the LG Network Monitors will also benefit from less heat and noise typically generated by multiple PCs - reducing the districts carbon footprint by requiring less electricity and air conditioning. LG Network Monitors can improve school computing immediately by:
-- Reducing computer purchase costs by 57 percent**
-- Lowering electricity costs by 85 percent**
-- Increasing computing access with less money
-- Bringing computing from the computer lab to the classroom for
integrated learning
For school AV professionals and integrators, the Network Monitor solution (11 monitors) boasts easy installation and reduced maintenance. Additionally, with far fewer PCs to manage, IT staff can focus on more critical system functions.
Content Interaction
With the proliferation of tech savvy students starting earlier and earlier, educational institutions must incorporate the same engaging technology content into teaching environments. One way districts can do this is through the use of projectors and flat panel displays.
For auditoriums, meeting rooms and more, LG's BX401 DLP projector displays content at a 300-inch maximum diagonal image from under 32 feet away with the brilliance of 4000 ANSI Lumens. With multiple connectivity options, the BX401C can display video from a variety of devices such as computers, DVD and Blu-ray players, DTV decoders and more with its HDMI inputs, USB port, RS-232C connection as well as two RGB inputs.
Other display options for classrooms and school administration include the use of digital signage monitors and flat panel HDTVs. LG's 42-inch class* (model M4224C) LCD digital signage monitor brings high definition to public displays. A Full HD 1080p resolution monitor, the M4224C features new LAN and video wall control for easy scheduling and dissemination of content. With an ultra-slim 16.9 millimeter bezel, the M4224C blends easily into education environments and can help school officials post class schedules or act as an emergency alert system for notifying students and staff across an entire school or campus.
For in-classroom displays, LG's LH200C integrated HDTV is available in 22-, 32-, 37- and 42-inch* class sizes and can display educational and informational programming in the vibrancy and detail of high definition enhanced by a 1366 x 768 display resolution and a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. For classroom settings, teachers can connect their PCs to the display to project an educational video or news story in a way that captivates students' attention more than a standard overhead machine. Specialized commercial features on the LH200C include public display settings, USB cloning capability and an RS-232C port which helps reduce installation time and maintenance costs. The 32LH200C also integrates EcoSmart(TM) energy saving technology.
Energy Saving Technology
LG's EcoSmart(TM) technology allows for multiple manual and automatic options for energy conservation, making it ideal for educational environments looking to save on energy costs.
New Dynamic Power Saving modes on LCDs help conserve energy, providing the option to adjust power consumption and provide optimal picture settings based on the incoming video. On LG LCDs, Dynamic Power Savings reduces power consumption and optimizes picture settings, while Static Power Savings allows the installer to set the preferred power consumption level. This combination of automatic settings and options for manual adjustments helps save on energy costs and allows for increased energy savings while still providing superior picture quality. With the Intelligent Sensor feature, integrators can program the LCDs to respond to the ambient light in the room and automatically reduce brightness and energy output under most circumstances.

Enhanced Landing Pages Offering Saves Time and Money for Silverpop Customers

Enhanced Landing Pages Offering Saves Time and Money for Silverpop Customers
Drag-and-drop Web forms tool helps Purchasing Power focus on the big picture
ATLANTA, June 29 -- Enticing an email recipient to take a desired action isn't always an easy task, but with a relevant, eye-catching and easy-to-navigate landing page, it is a surmountable one. Underscoring the importance of this key tactic, Silverpop,® an on-demand provider of an email marketing and marketing automation platform serving the needs of sophisticated, self-service B2C and B2B marketers, has added new elements to its Landing Pages offering and made the product a standard feature for all its clients.
As competition for email inboxes intensifies, marketers must maximize revenues from every opportunity. And they recognize that few opportunities are as powerful as easily guiding an email recipient directly to a landing page designed with conversion in mind. In fact, a Silverpop report, "8 Seconds to Capture Attention," revealed that six out of 10 companies use landing pages to sell products and services and 19 percent use them to attempt to gather important customer or prospect data.
To help its customers maximize results, while also saving time and money, Silverpop has integrated an intuitive drag-and-drop Web forms builder into its Landing Pages product. The new tool allows marketers to easily create highly customized and branded opt-in, opt-out and preference center forms while also giving them complete control over the look and feel of confirmation pages.
Silverpop client Purchasing Power, a voluntary benefit provider of employee purchase programs, incorporates the new Landing Pages feature into numerous campaigns, including a recent Birthday Club campaign that asks email subscribers to share their birth date in order to receive a Starbuck's gift card on their special day. After just one month, the company is already impressed with the time and resources they are able to save by having more control over the process.
"In the past we would rely on an external agency to build, host and update our landing pages--a process that could take up to two weeks," said Ann Tran online / Web channel manager for Purchasing Power. "Now we can easily navigate through the process in house in just one day and can make necessary changes on the fly without having to posses any technical knowledge. This frees up our creative agency and IT resources to focus on other projects."
Purchasing Power also uses Landing Pages to allow its brokers to complete online forms to register for company-sponsored events and to help existing customers quickly and easily refer co-workers. Recently, the company took advantage of the new landing pages feature and related reports to test several new pieces of creative. The results, indicated by the number of visits to a particular landing page, revealed a strong preference for a specific campaign and helped influence future outreach.
"By developing a landing page with the right look and feel, marketers can significantly increase customer loyalty and improve conversion rates--and if they are able to do so in a way that is efficient and cost-effective the return on investment can be dramatic," said Bill Nussey, CEO of Silverpop. "By making this enhanced Landing Pages offering a standard feature, we are encouraging all our clients to take advantage of the full set of sophisticated email marketing tools at their disposal in order to make their campaigns rise above the clutter."
About Silverpop
Silverpop's on-demand marketing platform helps marketers succeed in turning prospects into customers--and customers into fans--through the creation, automation and delivery of relevant, multichannel digital messaging. Companies rely on the Silverpop Engage platform to create and manage sophisticated email marketing campaigns that reach millions of individuals--one at a time--engaging prospective customers and enhancing lifetime customer value and brand loyalty. Silverpop's marketing automation capabilities enable B2B marketers to efficiently manage leads and drive qualified sales opportunities through scoring and by nurturing campaigns that move prospects from interest to conversion. Silverpop's industry-leading thought capital, strategic counsel, service and support helps B2C and B2B customers with the precise level of training and advice needed to quickly improve campaign results and ROI.

Verizon Wireless Expands 3G Network Coverage in Sullivan County

Verizon Wireless Expands 3G Network Coverage in Sullivan County
- Improves coverage and capacity in Hurleyville and Sullivan Community College - Provides access to 3G wireless broadband service
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., June 29 -- Verizon Wireless is investing in Sullivan County and expanding its local coverage with a new cell site in Hurleyville. The new site improves coverage and capacity on Route 52 from the Village Woodbourne to the Village of Liberty, and Main Street in the Village of Hurleyville to Hillsdale Road. In addition, this cell now provides new coverage to Sullivan Community College.
This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless' voice and data services. The company has invested more than $50 billion nationwide since it was formed - $5.5 billion on average every year - and invested more than $100 million in Upstate New York in 2009.
"We've always believed even the most advanced device is only as good as the network it runs on. We continue to aggressively invest in our Upstate New York network to increase coverage and capacity for our customers, add new services, and maintain our 3G network leadership," said Gene Fassett, executive director of Network for Verizon Wireless' Upstate New York Region.
Verizon Wireless recently earned recognition from J.D. Power and Associates for "Highest Call Quality Performance among Wireless Cell Phone Users in the Northeast."
Services include wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, V CAST and V CAST Music with Rhapsody, and MobileBroadband, the company's high-speed wireless broadband network geared toward mobile professionals and business customers. It provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second, and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps.
Strong demand for Verizon Wireless' services continued during the first quarter of 2010 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers.
The company's "nation's most reliable wireless network" reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and women throughout the country. These engineers drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles more than 1 million miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 3 million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

Redstone Launches Next-Generation Business Broadband

Redstone Launches Next-Generation Business Broadband
LONDON, June 29, 2010-- IT and communications provider Redstone Managed Solutions today launched
its next-generation business broadband. The service is designed for business
customers who want more from their broadband supplier.
UK small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) may be tempted to use
residential broadband services that may not be able to provide the speed,
service quality and flexibility that business users need. Redstone's new
broadband for business delivers download speeds of up to 20Mbits/second,
combined with unlimited use*, which enables companies to develop their use of
the Internet without worrying about unforeseen charges.
Redstone is a business-only ISP offering a range of complementary IT
products and services that provide safe access to business information. The
company has its own core network, and its business broadband customers won't
find their traffic in contention with, or shaped against, residential
traffic.
Nikki Ratcliffe, Redstone's marketing director, says: "Businesses need to
be aware of the differences between broadband for business and residential
internet services. The Internet is an organisation's lifeline to its
customers and stakeholders. Office broadband must perform cost-effectively
and deliver maximum performance under all circumstances.
"While residential broadband is already a commodity market, decisions
about business broadband cannot just be based on the headline cost. Reduced
cost can also mean increased contention, reduced support, tighter data
transfer limits and less focus on providing business-class connectivity and
support. Not all broadband is created equal and it's important to compare
products on a like-for-like basis, taking into account all the features and
restrictions."

CTenergysavings.com Will Allow Consumers to Compare, Switch and Save
Connecticut Company Launches Awareness Campaign, Announces One-Stop Resource to Save on Electric Bill
HARTFORD, Conn., June 29 -- CTenergysavings.com today announced the launch of Connecticut's newest online resource to help state residents and businesses make educated decisions in regards to their monthly electric bill. This comprehensive resource provides a detailed comparison of electric rate plans in Connecticut as well as the ability to switch suppliers to save money.
The deregulation of Connecticut's electric industry began in 2000 but it wasn't until 2005 that electric customers were able to take advantage of choosing an alternate electric supplier to lower their electric bill. Now customers are saving up to 20% by switching to a new supplier. There are over 1.5 million electric customers in Connecticut and approximately 10 suppliers to choose from, several with multiple plans.
CTenergysavings.com offers a platform to compare rate plans and switch electric suppliers with an easy online enrollment process. Currently CTenergysavings.com is the ONLY website in Connecticut that offers consumers that capability all in one place. Once a supplier has been selected an easy sign up form will help to "make the switch".
The benefits of switching electric suppliers include:
-- No change or interruption in your current service
-- No fees to switch suppliers or cancel service
-- Your bill will still come from your utility, either CL&P or UI
-- All you need is your utility bill and five minutes to switch
CTenergysavings.com was founded by Connecticut resident Michelle Erca, to provide Connecticut residents and businesses with one comprehensive resource where they can identify electric suppliers, compare rates, switch suppliers and save money.
"When I switched electric suppliers for my husband's business and our household, we started saving significantly each month," said Erca. "I realized that even though Connecticut has had a deregulated energy policy for over ten years, residents and businesses were still unaware of their options to switch suppliers and how to go about it. It is only with the launch of CTenergysavings.com that we are now able to provide Connecticut electric customers with answers to important questions and a simplified process to compare, switch and save."
Currently, the majority of Connecticut electric customers have not taken advantage of lowering their rates. The awareness that you can switch suppliers in Connecticut has been building momentum and over 385,000 or 25% of Connecticut's electric customers have now switched.
Added Erca: "In three simple steps you can now compare, switch and save money on your electric bill."

ISTE Launches First Phase of New Professional Development Website

ISTE Launches First Phase of New Professional Development Website
DENVER, June 29 -- The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE®) launches the first phase of ISTE Learning, http://www.istelearning.org, an innovative online professional development resource for educators that offers resources for implementing new technology in the classroom. The site debut coincides with ISTE 2010, a four-day conference for educators being held June 27-30 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
"ISTE Learning is a new online community and professional development marketplace where educators can sample free concepts, buy cool resources and exchange creative ideas," said Helen Padgett, president of ISTE, during the conference's opening address.
ISTE Learning poses the question, "What do you want to learn today?" and offers many ways for educators to answer that question. The site features learning experiences through socially networked platforms that replicate the environments today's students interact with regularly. It provides educators opportunities to network and collaborate with colleagues on curriculum, and pick up tips on incorporating wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, games, podcasts and other tools. Relevant learning experiences are presented in multiple formats to strengthen the teaching experience and improve digital literacy.
The site is organized as a virtual city, built on the bedrock of NETS, ISTE's standards for digital age learning, teaching and leadership. ISTE Learning's PD City includes four areas to discover: The Commons, Learning Labs, ISTE Café and ISTE U. Currently available to explore is The Commons area, which offers free "bite-sized" learning opportunities such as podcasts, webinars and literature abstracts. Learning Labs and the ISTE Cafe are expected to go live next October and ISTE U will be available January 2011.
ISTE Learning focuses on four professional development topics each year. This year's topics include Web 2.0, project-based learning, digital citizenship, and gaming and simulations. It also offers educators the chance to plug into The Buzz, ISTE's new professional development blog. Recent topics include tips for motivating students, a review of the applicability of the iPad for professional development, and a discussion of Ning and the implications of its new business model for educators.

Envivio Puts High Definition TV in Palm of Your Hand with Support for New iPhone 4
Three Screen Video Leader Continues to Raise Quality Standards for Mobile TV by Enabling Delivery of Live and On Demand HD TV Services
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 29 -- Envivio today announced that the world's most widely-deployed solution for delivering Mobile TV, its 4Caster(TM) C4(2) encoding/transcoding platform, now offers high definition (HD) video support to the Apple iPhone 4, taking maximum advantage of the device's capabilities. The upgrade for 4Caster creates an unprecedented mobile video experience by enabling services for the first time that deliver high definition live and on demand TV services that make full use of the high resolution iPhone 4 "Retina Display."

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100317/NY72017LOGO)
The Envivio 4Caster solution provides simultaneous support for delivering services to the complete range of devices and technologies from Apple, including iPad, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod, Safari 5 and QuickTime X. Envivio solutions power premier network operator and over the top TV services for the iPhone and iPad around the world, including premium Pay TV, sports and movie content for operators in Europe, coverage of the Olympics and NHL hockey in Canada, coverage of the World Cup in France and Germany and telecomm Mobile TV services worldwide.
"As the screens on mobile devices achieve higher levels of fidelity, it is incumbent upon services to provide consumers with video streams that make the most of that capability," said Julien Signes, president and CEO of Envivio. "Envivio solutions ensure that those high expectations are met, meaning happy subscribers today, while providing the flexibility to address even more compelling devices down the road. The combination of the iPhone 4 and Envivio 4Caster delivers a true HD-caliber experience in the palm of your hand."
Support for the iPhone 4 is available as an upgrade for existing 4Caster C4(2) systems. The upgrade enables services to deliver video that is optimized for the 3.5-inch, 960×640 resolution "Retina Display." The high pixel density of the display makes images appear exceptionally smooth and continuous. Envivio H.264 Extreme(TM) Main Profile Compression, regarded as the industry's highest quality video codec, ensures the best quality video stream is delivered at precisely the resolution of the iPhone 4.
Multi-profile output maximizes service density by making it possible to simultaneously service iPads and iPhones, as well as PCs, smartphones and other devices. Ingesting up to eight IP, four analog or four SDI channel sources, the 4Caster C4(2) simultaneously encodes and protects content in multiple profiles. This multi-profile encoding also powers Apple adaptive streaming to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of video, regardless of fluctuations in network bandwidth.
Support for iPhone 4 is available via a standard firmware upgrade to Envivio 4Caster C4(2) Mobile TV and Internet TV customers with a Silver, Gold support plan. To extend other configurations, contact Envivio Support at support@envivio.com. For more information about Envivio solutions for Three Screens, visit the Envivio website http://www.envivio.com.
