Palo Alto Networks Resolves New Facebook Social Plug-ins Privacy Concerns

Enterprises Can Use Next-Generation Firewalls to Safely Enable Facebook for Their Workers

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 5 -- Palo Alto Networks(TM), the network security company, today announced it has released new functionality that enables enterprises to control Facebook Social Plug-ins, empowering users to continue to embrace Facebook while mitigating any privacy concerns. Facebook users in enterprises are susceptible to having their confidential data shared with third parties because of recent changes at Facebook, which cause behavioral data from its users to be made available unless a user explicitly opts out.

The new default Facebook privacy settings are designed to share private and corporate information with advertisers and other third parties.  In enterprises, this policy has major implications, as there is no central way for IT security teams to protect their users from the unknown and - in almost all cases - unwanted privacy impact, which involves the sharing of behavioral and website information with Facebook and its advertising customers.

Palo Alto Networks' new App-ID(TM) allows IT security teams to protect their Facebook users against the undesired data sharing while transparently preserving Facebook functionality and not breaking the functionality of other websites that rely on the Facebook Social Plug-ins.

"This is another example of the safe enablement that customers of Palo Alto Networks can uniquely take advantage of; reaping the benefit of social applications, yet mitigating the risks," said Rene Bonvanie, vice president of worldwide marketing at Palo Alto Networks.  "For example, an organization might want to enable customer service representatives to use Facebook, the chat function and the messages function, but disable Facebook Applications and Social Plug-ins to mitigate productivity and privacy concerns."

The Palo Alto Networks Application and Threat Research Team actively researches applications.  Taking input from the market, application developers and customers, the team aggressively maintains App-ID and the nearly 1,000 applications it identifies, adding three to five applications weekly.  Palo Alto Networks' App-ID technology enables a more sophisticated identification than a simple signature, putting decryption, decoders, heuristic analysis, and a rich signature analysis at the team's disposal.  Augmented with detailed information about the application's use, behavior, and risks, customers can make informed policy decisions regarding applications.

Next Generation Firewall: How it Works for Facebook

Palo Alto Networks combines three identification technologies to provide visibility and control over Facebook-related functionality, users and content:

  --  App-ID identifies exactly which Facebook functionality is running on
      the network, as well as the associated risks, so administrators can
      deploy comprehensive application usage control policies for inbound
      and outbound traffic.
  --  User-ID integrates with Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP
      directories to link Facebook use to users and groups - not just IP
      addresses - for visibility, policy creation, logging and reporting.
  --  Content-ID combines a real-time threat prevention engine with a
      comprehensive URL database to detect and block a wide range of
      threats, limit unauthorized transfer of files and data, enabling
      customers to scan permitted Facebook traffic for threats and
      confidential data.

Information on nearly 1,000 applications that are identified by Palo Alto Networks can be found in Applipedia, part of the company's Application and Threat Research Center.

About Palo Alto Networks

Palo Alto Networks(TM) is the network security company.  Its next-generation firewalls enable unprecedented visibility and granular policy control of applications and content - by user, not just IP address - at up to 10Gbps with no performance degradation. Based on patent-pending App-ID(TM) technology, Palo Alto Networks firewalls accurately identify and control applications - regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or SSL encryption - and scan content to stop threats and prevent data leakage. Enterprises can for the first time embrace Web 2.0 and maintain complete visibility and control, while significantly reducing total cost of ownership through device consolidation.

PrayerSteward 1.0 for iPhone Puts the Power of Prayer in Your Hands

KINGSVILLE, Md., May 5 -- Safe-t-Technologies LLC announces the launch of PrayerSteward, a new and unique product for iPhone and iPod Touch users. Serving as a well-organized prayer reminder, PrayerSteward's mission is to help users honor their promises to pray for others, even when the busyness of living makes remembering details a challenge. Developers have incorporated a list of flexible tools, meant to provide an easy and efficient method of recording prayer promises and sharing with others.

PrayerSteward, also known as Promise2Pray, gives users an easy tool for logging prayer reminders. When one person tells another that they'll pray for them, they can enter the information on the spot, so they don't forget as they go about their day. The app allows users to also add future requests and have them show up in the prayer list at the appropriate time.

The app is designed for personal and customized usage. Upon download, users can take advantage of the existing five different prayer categories or erase them and create their own to match prayer habits. Notes can be added and list displays can be adjusted, as well.

Sharing non-confidential prayer requests can be done from within the app. A user can grab information from their address books to get the contact details they need to email others in their group or circle when they want to amplify the power of their prayers for someone.

Another very useful function of PrayerSteward is the copy and paste feature, which allows users to copy all the details of a prayer request email and quickly add it to their commitment log.

  Some of the many features of PrayerSteward:

  --  Fast and easy, even for a novice
  --  Set the prayer category entered most often as the default
  --  Add extra details, such as attaching a contact from your address book,
      specifying dates to pray and adding additional notes
  --  One tap recalls a list of all active prayer commitments
  --  View list of future commitments
  --  View list of archived commitments
  --  Export all or a subset of prayer commitments in a delimited text file
  --  Delete batches of archived commitments based on the end date of the
      commitments
  --  Localized in English and Spanish

Most importantly, PrayerSteward helps people keep their promises and puts the power of prayer networking in the hands of those who truly want to help.

To learn more about how this App combines technology and spirituality, please visit the PrayerSteward website or watch the video on YouTube. Coming soon: a BlackBerry version.

New Technology Offers Ad Systems Huge Potential in Untapped Markets

SALEM, Ore., May 5 -- Ad Systems Communications, Inc.  (BULLETIN BOARD: ADSY) , a leading service provider of digital media and video communications for all major cable TV networks, is proud to announce the rollout of the second generation of Addige.NET, its patent-pending breakthrough ad insertion technology. First released in 2008, Addige.NET makes use of networking to enable video and live-feed insertion into markets that have been previously underserved.

"Our new generation of Addige.NET enables insertion into new technology platforms previously untapped, such as high definition and IP networks. This technology enables us not only to keep pace with the deployment of new services, but also to become a leader in this arena," says Martin Alcock, Chief Technology Officer for the Company.

"The insertion process is managed by a central cloud computing application, which does not grow linearly with deployments, thus keeping the overhead required to manage the traffic to a minimum," Mr. Alcock notes, "which is unprecedented in the industry."

J. Michael Heil, CEO of Ad Systems Communications, Inc. adds, "The total untapped market for our service is nearly 30 million households and we are first to market."

About Ad Systems Communications, Inc.

Ad Systems Communications, Inc. is a digital media and video communications services Company which provides quality advertising inventory for all the major cable TV networks such as ESPN, MTV, DISCOVERY, CNN, LIFETIME, A&E, FOX NEWS and TNT by deploying its patent pending insertion and streaming media technology into the cable, satellite and IP television markets. The company derives revenue from this inventory by selling it to advertisers to insert both long and short form video commercials into highly targeted markets.

Accuvant Unveils New Data-Centric Security Framework

DENVER, May 5 -- Accuvant, the only research-driven information security partner delivering alignment, clarity and confidence to enterprise clients, announced today the availability of its Data-Centric Security Framework. This new offering is comprised of several services that will be delivered by Accuvant's Risk and Compliance Management and Technology Solutions teams, which are responsible for helping clients build and manage ongoing programs that pave the way for a healthy compliance posture and utilize the right technologies for their environments.

Accuvant's Data-Centric Security Framework helps clients implement a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy through sensitive data categorization and execution of repeatable security strategies, which can maximize investments in data protection controls and infrastructure. The framework consists of five steps that begin with data ownership and classification and end with a clear and effective data protection program that enables incidents and breaches to be properly handled.

"The first step of Accuvant's Data-Centric Security Framework is to understand and inventory our clients' sensitive data handling and critical system ownership. From this, we can determine the effectiveness of the current security program and system controls, and recommend the services and technologies that should be implemented to close the gap to get them where they need to be," said Doug Landoll, director for Accuvant's Risk and Compliance Management team. "Defining what sensitive information exists, where it resides and how it must be protected is the underlying principle of Accuvant's Data-Centric Security Framework, and ensures that our clients can make the most efficient use of their security dollars."

Accuvant's Data-Centric Security Framework is a departure from traditional DLP projects in that most are centered on the technology and assume that the organization has already defined its data, developed policies and put critical controls in place. Accuvant's Data-Centric Security Framework turns this concept on its head and instead focuses on the sensitive data first, with a review of the existing controls and pragmatic use of available DLP tools and technology thereafter.

Accuvant's Data-Centric Security Framework is structured as follows:

Step 1 - Clarify: This step is for organizations that want to understand the reality of their data, including current threats and concerns, data flows and data protection. Services include:

  --  Information Governance Program Development
  --  Data Lifecycle Management

Step 2 - Locate: This step is for organizations that want to discover the location of all in-scope sensitive data assets, such as credit card data. Services include:

--  Data Discovery Scanning Exercise

Step 3 - Evaluate: This step is recommended for organizations that need to make functional decisions to deal with discovered data assets. Services include:

  --  Preliminary Risk Assessment
  --  Effective Data Constraint and Retention

Step 4 - Apply: This step is for organizations with information governance programs that need help selecting the right technology solution for their environment or writing and implementing policies that meet compliance requirements. Services include:

  --  Data Protection Program Development
  --  Compliance Program Development

Step 5 - Respond: This step of the framework is for organizations that want a highly specialized point solution. Services can include:

  --  Post-Implementation Risk Assessment
  --  Incident Handling Program
  --  Table Top Exercises
  --  Incident Response Plan testing
  --  Forensics and Analysis

"Our top priority is ensuring the satisfaction of our clients, which includes providing them with the right tools and documentation to effectively communicate their organization's security requirements to senior management. We believe our new Data-Centric Security Framework will be well received by any client considering data loss prevention solutions," added Landoll.

Verizon Business Completes SAS 70 Type II Examinations of Global Data Centers

Hosting Centers Support Services That Underpin Company's Everything-as-a-Service Delivery Model

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., May 5 -- Verizon Business has successfully completed the annual SAS 70 Type II examinations of its global data centers, which support the company's colocation, managed hosting and application management services.  Many of these offerings underpin Verizon's new "everything-as-a-service," or EaaS, cloud-based delivery model.

SAS 70, a widely recognized auditing standard performed by a third-party accounting firm, is conducted in compliance with the standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for examining specific areas such as: organizational structure, governance and administration; access to facilities; logical access to systems; network services; operational processes and environmental safeguards; and system availability and performance.  These examinations demonstrate that Verizon Business has the controls and processes in place to manage and monitor its data centers, as well as the critical applications and infrastructure of its enterprise clients.

"Today, clients around the globe rely on Verizon Business for advanced IT and hosting services," said Joseph S. Crawford, executive director - IT solutions, Verizon Business.  "As we move to an everything-as-a-service model, successful completion of these industry-recognized audits for our data centers - the foundation for Verizon's EaaS model - demonstrates our continued investment in delivering unsurpassed value, performance and security."

SAS 70 Type II audits were recently completed for the following Verizon global data centers:

  --  Verizon Colocation Premium Data Centers - Fifteen of Verizon's premium
      Internet data centers in North America - including facilities in
      California, Georgia, New Jersey and Texas - completed successful
      audits for the fifth consecutive year.  A facility in Irving, Texas,
      passed its examination for the second year.  Also successfully audited
      were four premium data centers in Hong Kong, Melbourne, Singapore and
      Sydney; four centers in Amsterdam, Frankfurt and London; and two in
      Canada.

  --  Verizon Remote IP Application Management Centers - For the fifth
      consecutive year, Verizon remote operations centers in San Francisco
      and London successfully completed an annual examination.  In addition,
      new facilities in the U.S. (California and Texas), Germany and India
      were successfully audited for the first time.

  --  Verizon IP Application Hosting Centers - This marks the ninth
      consecutive year for successful examination of Verizon's U.S.- and
      U.K.-based managed hosting centers, called Smart Centers.  It also
      marks the second year for the company's Smart Centers in Japan and
      Germany.

In addition, last month Verizon announced that it had successfully completed the first annual SAS 70 Type II examination of controls for its cloud computing data centers.

Outsourcing IT responsibilities to Verizon Business enables enterprise clients to benefit from high availability and exceptional performance while controlling costs.  All Verizon facilities are staffed with skilled engineers, advanced operations platform technology and standards-based processes to manage customers' essential infrastructure and applications.

UGA's Cloud-Based Digital Signage System, Archer, Adopted by YungTay Elevator

Premier elevator maker YungTay installs cloud-based advertising systems with UGA Digital's Archer

BEIJING, May 5 -- UGA Digital and YungTay Elevator, Co. launched Archer Digital Signage Services at the World Elevator & Escalator Expo'2010, marking the world's first pre-market elevator installation of cloud-based signage systems. The collaboration delivers enhanced revenue streams for the elevator manufacturer and to other partners in the ecosystem.

UGA Digital's Archer Digital Signage Services is a cloud-based digital signage system that allows advertisers to manage messaging across all displays in a network from one central website, reducing the operator's need for additional on-site hardware and maintenance. Advertisers enjoy the convenience of real-time management of their own content including specifying broadcast times by message and by location. Archer reduces operator costs by replacing dedicated staff to update, edit, and manage content and enables scaling of the number of screens without installing additional back-end hardware.

By combining a captive audience inside elevators with user management this brings the effectiveness of digital signage closer to that of on-line advertising. "Archer is built to bring Google's model of on-line, long tail advertising to digital signage. The highly measurable audience in elevators, makes YungTay the perfect partner for this launch," said Nick Fothergill, CEO, UGA Digital. Current elevator signage systems are managed with more costly and complex PC-based systems while content is managed with physical USB and SD storage. "Archer's web based management lowers the work-load for operators and allows advertisers instant access to their content and customers," Nick Fothergill added.

  For more information on Archer contact UGA Digital, Inc.
  http://www.ugadigital.com/ .

Users Discover the Benefits of a Simple and Powerful Online Database Solution

Rave Reviews for InfoDome's Ability to Let Remote Users Manage and Share Business-critical Data

OAKLAND, Calif., May 5 -- InfoDome, the simple and powerful online database solution, has been enthusiastically embraced by businesses and organizations for providing a better way to track, share, and manage data from virtually anywhere.  For users and authors of all skill sets who need to manage and report on people, projects, products and documents, InfoDome brings the power of software databases to the web.  InfoDome enables users to import data and create databases with forms and reports that can be accessed, edited, and selectively shared with users, regardless of their location.

In development for three years, InfoDome was released in March 2010, and already thousands of database authors and users have utilized the powerful browser-based solution.  "We address painful problems that most business and technology professionals face with managing data across remote users," says Mark Wozniak, InfoDome's Vice President of Products.  "With InfoDome, you don't have to worry about who has the latest version of data or who sees what, or for that matter, someone changing your formulas or formatting.  And you don't need any IT infrastructure - it's all browser-based."

Blackard Technology Solutions uses InfoDome to track prospecting and sales activities of one of its client's remote sales teams.  It considered CRM applications and other online databases, but selected InfoDome for its flexibility in designing customized forms and reports, and its ability to control user access.  CEO David Blackard added, "The number one attribute of InfoDome is its ease of use, yet its functionality allowed us to design a fairly sophisticated database."

InfoDome provides Carol Mullin, Director of Pursuit of Education Scholarships, with a powerful solution that allows her to organize, track, and manage the data that her multiple remote reviewers enter on scholarship applicants.  "The ability to share just certain forms or records has been great," she noted.  "And the reporting is far superior to anything we can do in a spreadsheet."

"InfoDome is powerful enough to meet the needs of advanced database authors, yet simple enough to be understood and utilized by spreadsheet users," added Wozniak.  "We're confident it will revolutionize the way data is managed and shared."

Pricing is set using the popular "freemium" tier-based subscription model. A limited-use free subscription is available to all users, with full-featured plans starting at $15/month.  Or users can start with a 30-day free trial.  More information is at http://www.infodome.com.

Misys Obtains SAS 70 Type II Examinations for Misys Confirmation Matching Service and Opics Plus

LONDON, May 5, 2010--     Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and
services company, today announces that it has recently completed separate
examinations in conformity with the AICPA's Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 70 (SAS70), Service Organizations, covering both its Misys Confirmation
Matching Service and Misys Opics Plus software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings.
The SAS70 examinations were performed by the independent accounting and
auditing firm Ernst & Young LLP.

    Completion of the SAS 70 Type II examinations indicates that
selected Misys processes, procedures and controls have been formally
evaluated and tested by an independent accounting and auditing firm. The
examinations included controls related to logical access to systems, programs
and data; change management; processing controls; environmental controls and
physical security.

    A SAS 70 examination is widely recognised, because it
represents that a service organisation has been through an evaluation of
their control activities as they relate to an audit of the financial
statements of its customers. A Type II report not only includes the service
organisation's description of controls, but also includes detailed testing of
the design and operating effectiveness of that service organisation's
controls.

    Hach Hashasian, Sr. Director of SaaS Operations & Compliance
at Misys Treasury Capital Markets, elaborates: "Having completed these two
SAS 70 examinations, Misys Confirmation Matching Services and Opics Plus
customers and their respective auditors will be able to use the reports to
assess the internal controls at Misys as they relate to an audit of their
financial statements. They allow user organisations' managements to obtain
assurance on the design and operating effectiveness of the controls at Misys
in a cost-effective manner. The Type II compliance provides our customers
with cost savings while also reinforcing the value of the people, processes
and technology that are at the heart of Misys' business model."

    Misys is committed to providing high quality, best practice
operations in its expanded SaaS delivery and undertaking annual SAS70 exams
is, in part, evidence of that commitment.

    Misys Treasury & Capital Markets has 20 years of market
experience and unrivalled software development expertise. It creates
integrated, comprehensive solutions for financial institutions to manage
their capital market activities across multiple asset classes and multiple
product distribution channels.

    About Misys plc

    Misys plc (LSE: MSY), provides integrated, comprehensive solutions
that deliver significant results to organisations in the financial services
and healthcare industries. We maximise value for our customers by combining
our deep knowledge of their business with our commitment to their success.

    In banking and treasury & capital markets, Misys is a market leader, with
over 1,200 customers, including all of the world's top 50 banks. In

Cellcom Israel LTD. Announces Israeli MOC Considering Interconnect Tariffs Reduction

NETANYA, Israel, May 5, 2010--     Cellcom Israel Ltd. (NYSE: CEL) (the "Company") announced
today that following the previously reported examination conducted by the
Israeli Ministry of Communication, or MOC, regarding interconnect tariffs
payable by cellular operators, the MOC announced it is considering changes to
the Israeli regulations which set interconnect tariffs among Israeli
operators, as follows:

   
    - to reduce the maximum interconnect tariff payable by a
      landline operator or a cellular operator for the completion of a call
      on another cellular network from the current tariff of NIS 0.251 per
      minute to NIS 0.0414 per minute from August 1, 2010; to NIS 0.0354 per
      minute from January 1, 2011; to 0.0311 per minute from January 1, 2012;
      to NIS 0.0280 per minute from January 1, 2013; and to NIS 0.0257 as of
      January 1, 2014.
   
    - to reduce the maximum interconnect tariff payable by a
      cellular operator for sending an SMS message to another cellular
      network from the current tariff of NIS 0.0285 to NIS 0.0019 from August
      1, 2010; to NIS 0.0017 from January 1, 2011; to NIS 0.0016 from January
      1, 2012; to NIS 0.0014 from January 1, 2013; and to NIS 0.0013 from
      January 1, 2014.
   
    - the tariffs do not include VAT and will be updated annually from January
      1, 2011, based on the change in the Israeli CPI published in November
      of the preceding year against the Israeli CPI published in January
      2010.

    The Company and the other cellular operators may respond to the proposed
changes within 30 days, at which time the MOC is expected to make a final
determination. The Company can not assess at this stage the ultimate outcome
of the hearing and what the final maximum tariffs will be, but it is
reviewing its possible effect on its results of operations. If the changes as
currently proposed are adopted, then, absent any efforts to mitigate the
expected loss of revenues, the currently proposed changes are expected to
have a monthly adverse effect estimated at this stage to amount to
approximately NIS 35 million on the Company's EBITDA and approximately NIS 25
million on the Company's net income, from August 2010. As the Company intends
to take measures to mitigate as much as possible the expected adverse effects
of such proposed changes, through revenue enhancement as well as cost
reduction, the Company cannot estimate at this stage the actual effect of the
changes, if adopted. The Company intends to object strongly to the proposed
changes but cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such objections.

    For additional details see the Company's most recent annual report for
the year ended December 31, 2009 on Form 20-F under "Item 3. Key Information
- D. Risk Factors - Risks related to our business - We operate in a heavily
regulated industry, which can harm our results of operations" as well as
under "Item 4. Information on the Company - B. Business Overview -
Competition" and "Government Regulations -Tariff Supervision".

    Forward Looking Statement

    The information contained in this press release contains, or may be
deemed to contain, forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Israeli Securities Law,
1969). Said forward-looking statements, relating to the reduction of
interconnect tariffs and its influence on the Company's results of
operations, are subject to uncertainties and assumptions about the outcome of
the aforesaid hearing and the Company's ability to mitigate the expected lost
revenues. The Company's ability to mitigate the expected lost revenues could
lead to materially different outcome than that set forth above.

    Cellcom Israel Ltd., established in 1994, is the leading
Israeli cellular provider; Cellcom Israel provides its approximately 3.292

Microsoft Communicator Mobile for Nokia Debuts

First Deliverable From Microsoft and Nokia Alliance Aims to Simplify Mobile Collaboration

REDMOND, Washington and ESPOO, Finland, May 5, 2010--     Today, Microsoft and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) launched the first application
from their alliance around mobile productivity, Microsoft Communicator Mobile
for Nokia devices. This new unified communications client connects directly
with a company's communications systems to streamline mobile collaboration.
Owners of a number of Symbian based Nokia Eseries smartphones can download
the English version today from Nokia's Ovi Store, the easiest place to get
content on their Nokia device.

    "Our alliance with Nokia aims to bring the Office productivity experience
to the millions of people using Nokia smartphones around the world," says
Kirt Debique, General Manager at Microsoft. "With the arrival of Communicator
Mobile for Nokia today, we have a great start to fulfilling our joint
vision."

    Communicator Mobile enables people to see their colleagues' availability,
and click to communicate with them using the best method, from IM to email,
text to phone call. The names and status of colleagues are embedded directly
into the devices' contacts application, enabling people to update their own
presence, start and join instant messaging sessions, and begin calls directly
from the contact card.

    "This application really provides a much more efficient way to work with
others as you can see if someone is busy or available, and the best way to
start a conversation with them," says Ukko Lappalainen, Vice President at
Nokia. "It also meets all of the requirements for enterprise: cost effective
to implement, secure, familiar and reliable."

    The launch is the first product from the alliance - announced last August
- which was the first time either company had embarked on an agreement of
this scope and nature. Since then, the two companies have been collaborating
on the design and development of new solutions, as well as embarking on joint
marketing efforts around others they already share.

    "As part of our push to constantly enhance our unified communications
proposition, we are keen to extend the collaborative benefits of Microsoft
Communicator Mobile to Nokia devices," says Scott Petty, Director at Vodafone
Group Business Services. "Communicator Mobile offers great potential for our
large corporate customer base who have already deployed Communicator for
desktop and now are looking to extend that existing infrastructure to
mobile."

    "We trial all potential offerings ourselves and have been very happy with
the internal response and productivity increase we have experienced using
Microsoft Communicator Mobile," says Roger Wuthrich-Hasenbohler, Executive
Vice President at Swisscom / Webcall. "Having these two companies work
together is really helping us serve the needs of our customers."

    This new application, available initially for Nokia E72 and Nokia E52,
adds to the work Nokia is already doing in optimizing direct access to email
and other personal information with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. The
companies plan to deliver Communicator Mobile for Nokia pre-installed on
select Nokia smartphones in the future and plan to support additional
devices, including the recently announced Nokia E5.

Lay's Happiness Exhibit Celebrates Moms by Spreading Simple Happiness

Free Video Upload Tool Allows Consumers to Create a Personalized Card for Mother's Day

PLANO, Texas, May 4 -- In honor of Mother's Day, Lay's, America's favorite potato chip, expanded its online "Happiness Exhibit," to help set simple happiness in motion. Beginning today, people can visit the exhibit at http://www.lays.com to create a one-of-a-kind Mother's Day video greeting card.  For a quick, easy and free gift that mom will adore, consumers can upload pictures and captions, then add a background and music to create their own customized videos.

Lay's, a brand of PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, is celebrating simple happiness across America with a growing collage of more than 15,000 photos submitted by consumers.  From this online exhibit, select photos will also be chosen to be featured on millions of Lay's potato chip bags sold nationwide, and in commemorative ads in upcoming issues of PEOPLE magazine.

Pictures to be considered for the Lay's bags can be uploaded now until May 31, 2010. A special Mother's Day ad will be featured in the May 17th issue of PEOPLE magazine and photos for an American Summer-themed ad will be running in the May 31st issue.  In addition, visitors to the exhibit can also interact with fun applications such as Smile-O-Grams, video e-cards and wallpapers.

"With Mother's Day just around the corner, we're excited to help honor all moms through the Lay's Happiness Exhibit by highlighting simple, happy moments," explains Ram Krishnan, director, marketing, Frito-Lay North America. "We know that people truly treasure making happy moments last through photography. Whether they are old photos or new ones, moms always appreciate the memories."

To help kick-off the "Happiness Exhibit," a Lay's "Simple Happiness" truck traveled around New York City on National Potato Chip Day (Sunday, March 14) delivering 10,000 free bags of Lay's potato chips to New Yorkers at iconic locations including Times Square, Herald Square, Bryant Park and Central Park.

The Lay's brand began a repositioning in early 2009 that introduced a new theme line, "Happiness is Simple," designed to uniquely celebrate the brand, its place in people's lives and its role in bringing people together for life's simple pleasures.  The campaign highlights the simplicity of Lay's potato chips at a time when consumers are looking for simplicity.  The foundation message, "Happiness is Simple," also echoes the simplicity of the ingredients in each serving of Lay's Classic potato chips - just potatoes, all-natural oil and a dash of salt.

Frito-Lay North America is the $13 billion convenient foods business unit of PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), which is headquartered in Purchase, NY.  Learn more about Frito-Lay at the corporate Web site, http://www.fritolay.com/, the Snack Chat blog, http://www.snacks.com/ and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/fritolay.

PepsiCo offers the world's largest portfolio of billion-dollar food and beverage brands, including 19 different product lines that each generates more than $1 billion in annual retail sales. Our main businesses - Frito-Lay, Quaker, Pepsi-Cola, Tropicana and Gatorade - also make hundreds of other nourishing, tasty foods and drinks that bring joy to our consumers in more than 200 countries. With annualized revenues of nearly $60 billion, PepsiCo's people are united by our unique commitment to sustainable growth, called Performance with Purpose. By dedicating ourselves to offering a broad array of choices for healthy, convenient and fun nourishment, reducing our environmental impact, and fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace culture, PepsiCo balances strong financial returns with giving back to our communities worldwide. In recognition of its continued sustainability efforts, PepsiCo was named for the third time to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and for the fourth time to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America) in 2009.

IGT to Exhibit Remarkable Games, Leading-Edge Systems and a New Attitude at Southern Gaming Summit 2010

Today's fresh approach thrills players and delights casino customers

LAS VEGAS, May 4 -- International Game Technology (NYSE:IGT), a global leader in creating the games players love and network systems that improve the player experience, announced today that it will take part in the annual Southern Gaming Summit May 5-6 in Biloxi, Miss. IGT's game and systems lineup in booth #704 supports the ongoing trend for the industry leader: change for the better.

Committed to taking gaming to the next level, the past year has brought IGT a set of new executives, a new way of doing business, and new games that are generating player enthusiasm across the country. The Company's refreshed and revitalized approach shines through in its products on casino floors today. IGT's showing at Southern Gaming Summit 2010 further solidifies the Company's position as a market leader in driving games and systems performance.

"We've listened to our customers and know what they need," Senior Vice President of North America Sales Ron Rivera said. "IGT is focused on satisfying operators' top priorities such as increasing ROI, entertaining their players and gaining even more control over their operations. We're delivering game content that caters to today's players - and we're doing it faster than ever. We're cognizant of our customers' economic challenges and are focused on helping our customers refresh their floors by offering new pricing packages. We're also committed to delivering products that will boost ROI today and into the future. This showing is evidence of what IGT is capable of - and it's just the beginning."

At Southern Gaming Summit 2010, visitors can experience first-hand what IGT has to offer. Sex and the City(TM) single play video slots, The Amazing Race(TM) Multi-Level Progressives based on the Emmy® Award-winning show, Wheel of Fortune® Experience(TM) on the 103-inch Center Stage Series screen, and many more await lucky tradeshow attendees.

Fall down the rabbit hole and into something truly magical with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland MultiPLAY video slots. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland taps into IGT's hot new Progression Play technology, allowing players to accumulate credits, awards or levels of play on an ongoing basis. Based on the book by Lewis Carroll, this game takes players on a journey through Wonderland with Alice and the White Rabbit. Five independent trails mean frequent bonuses, exciting players with the chance at bonus after bonus.

Transport your players to the era of the greatest generation with the Bombs Away(TM) video slot. It's a full-throttle gaming experience complete with big band music, pin-up icons and nostalgic aviation motifs.  The player is in the pilot's seat with 3-D game play featuring IGT's stylized Reel Wheel top box device, part of the Free Games bonus where players win credit values or one of five progressives. The amazing layered audio and subwoofer vibration made possible by the MEGAfx Surround Chair completes the engaging experience.

At Southern Gaming Summit 2010, IGT will offer even more fabulosity. The Sex and the City(TM) slot is the #1 performing game in the country, and players can't get enough. They're lining up three-deep to get on a machine. The surprise factor: men are playing, too. The premiere release featured MultiPLAY game functionality (four games on one machine, each with a different outcome), and at Southern Gaming Summit 2010, IGT will debut its single-play version.

The Amazing Race(TM) Multi-Level Progressives slot is another wildly popular theme in casinos right now, performing up to 2X better than house averages at some locations. Interactive bonuses pair with a real sense of competition and much of the game is modeled after the challenges on the Emmy® Award-winning show.

IGT's putting slots in a movie theater? Well, not quite. But IGT has brought the movie theater to the slot floor with its new Center Stage Series. It's an eye-catching, awe-inspiring platform, designed to deliver extra-large fun to players and big time flexibility to operators. Two versions are available: a 103-inch screen with five player stations and a 70-inch screen with four player stations. Much like a movie theater, casinos will install the platform (screens, seats and all) just once, and change out software for themes as they become available. First to casino theaters is Wheel of Fortune® Experience(TM).

Earth-shaking sound chairs also take the stage at Southern Gaming Summit 2010. Envelop your players in seat-rattling sound with IGT's new MEGAfx Surround Chair. The chairs immerse players in game play, and create the well-rounded entertainment experience today's players have come to expect. Players can crank the sound so much their seats will shake and their worlds will rock.

Who is Bill Cash? Play IGT's new Top Dollar® Reel MultiPLAY game at Southern Gaming Summit 2010 and meet this dapper dude, who guides players through the game as a razzling, dazzling show host. The Top Dollar® theme has been a favorite for a decade, and this 3-D version takes the classic, arcade-style game to a new level of fun. It has the traditional Top Dollar® "Take Offer, Try Again" proposition, and not one, but two reel games that spin simultaneously and stop with individual outcomes.

Everything's better in 3-D, and there's no other 3-D experience like IGT's. The technique involves the layering of two LCD screens (Multi-Layer Display® or MLD®) to create the look of 3-D - without the glasses. Even the most traditional slot players are having fun, playing more, and saying, "How'd they do that?" Spinning reel games come to life with rounded virtual reels that spin out at the player in 3-D. And when they stop, they shake, wobble and bounce like the real deal.  IGT's 3-D games kick the entertainment value up countless notches, and this year's offering includes more jaw-dropping, symbol-popping bonuses and animations.

Turtle Bay(TM) video slots is a 3-D trip to the tropics. Color-rich symbol sets and sounds differ in the "onshore" base game experience from the Free Games underwater adventure bonus. Tumbling Reels® game play similar to Fire Horse(TM) with a transparent hexagonal reel interface make it an engaging experience.

Cash Coaster(TM) slots is another 3-D ride catering to spinning reel players who are opening up to the world of Multi-Layer Display® technology. The amusement park theme features games of chance, a high bonus hit frequency, and never before seen 3-D roller coaster cars that climb up-and-down the reels.

IGT will also show its first MultiPLAY game with a Pick to Win bonus; Lucky Larry's Lobstermania MultiPLAY offers more ways to win on one of IGT's most popular themes of all time.

A "cougar" is a woman in her 30s or 40s, who "hunts" for a younger man. It's also the theme of IGT's talk-of-the-town Cougarlicious(TM) video slot. Stunning "seasoned" models, "I'm Too Sexy" background music, the debut of the End2End(TM) feature, and wildly entertaining "Nate the Bait" bonuses make this one a hot topic at every show.

Southern Gaming Summit 2010 will also see man-eating plants in IGT's booth. Mini Venus Flytrap plants in 3-D eat symbols and grow. Loud crunching sounds intensify the plants' presence. Everything you loved about The Little Shop of Horrors(TM) movie has been translated into this unique Tumbling Reels® game. In the Free Games bonus, extra symbols turn wild. The plant continues to grow larger each time it feeds on more wild symbols, and when it gets to be full size, the player scores more free games. Crunch.

IGT has given all the control to our operators and players with IGT DynamiX(TM). It's a bundle of IGT's most innovative technologies (3-D games, MLD®, AVP® and Multi-Games, access to the game library) in a complete solution. IGT is the only manufacturer that offers the ability to run different math and graphics in an operator-configurable multi-game configuration. IGT DynamiX(TM) also gives players choices, right now. Operators can run any 3-, 4- and 5 spinning-reel and video games on the same box, letting players decided what they want to play with one onscreen touch.

Artificial intelligence is on the brain in IGT's booth. Texas Hold'em Heads Up Poker(TM) is the first game to use neural net technology, a mathematical model that simulates the operation of the human brain. Instead of a paytable, players are matched against a computer program developed to be a dynamic decision-making engine. Decisions are made based on the current game state, but unlike a live opponent, it does not "learn" a player's strategy. But it will teach you it's thrilling to play.

Here to save the day, sbX(TM) makes jobs easier, creates happier players and helps strengthen bottom lines. The sbX(TM) Experience Management System went live at ARIA at CityCenter in December - and the execution was flawless. sbX(TM) is a game changer, and IGT will demonstrate its prowess at Southern Gaming Summit 2010. sbX(TM) Floor Manager means ultimate access to the IGT game library, while sbX(TM) Media Manager enables targeted messages and services to the Service Window.

What was once a multi-year decision for a casino operator is now a same-day decision with access to the industry's largest game library. Before, an operator had to make a long-term commitment to a game purchase. With sbX(TM), the operator can now have a machine with an entire library of games tied to it - allowing them unmatched flexibility for game mix decisions. With sbX(TM), operators can more effectively deliver great games and unique applications to the player- right at the slot machine.

The IGT Service Window solution was designed based on Gaming Standard Association (GSA) protocols, and provides a unique player interaction experience. When the player inserts his players club card, a special "window" slides the game screen over, providing a menu of information and services the player and operator can customize. No additional hardware is needed to run the Service Window on any modern AVP® machine.
