Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Announces Academic Scholarship in Tribute to Mark Beaumont

CALABASAS, Calif., March 4 -- The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has announced a new academic scholarship in honor of Mark Beaumont, former COO of Capcom® North America and Europe who passed away suddenly on February 23, 2010. The endowment was established by the AIAS Foundation to support students in pursuit of careers in the interactive entertainment business. The AIAS will award four yearly $2,500 scholarships to students attending accredited universities.

The scholarship fund honors Beaumont who was a great leader and visionary in the interactive entertainment business for over twenty years. He had been at Capcom since 2005, serving as both senior vice president and executive vice president before being promoted in April 2008 to the role of COO. Capcom is a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, where Beaumont was also on the Board of Directors.

"Never one to seek the spotlight, Mark Beaumont has been a patient and invaluable mentor to me and the hundreds of other people he has touched over the course of nearly three decades in the industry. When you look at all of the games and brands he's touched and people whose respect he has earned, I can think of no one that is more deserving of this honor than Mark," said Christian Svensson, corporate officer/vice president of strategic planning & business development, Capcom Entertainment, and AIAS board member.

Prior to Capcom, Beaumont was executive vice president of publishing at Midway Games for five years, along with stints at Time Warner Interactive for 2 years, where he was also executive vice president of publishing, and five years as a general manager at Activision. Preceding Activision, Beaumont had successful spells at Data East, Mindscape, Sony's Psygnosis and Atari.

Beaumont graduated from University of California at Berkeley in Business Administration and Marketing.

"Mark Beaumont exemplified the qualities that define success within the world of interactive entertainment. The Academy Foundation believes that encouraging young adults to pursue careers within the business of interactive entertainment is the most fitting way to honor Mark and his accomplishments," said Joseph Olin, president, AIAS.

The scholarship committee is comprised of AIAS board members Rich Hilleman, Electronic Arts; Don Daglow, Interactive Entertainment and Mike Capps, Epic Games, along with the University of Southern California's Chris Swain and Carnegie Mellon's (former AIAS board member) Jesse Schell to select scholarship recipients.

CIBER Develops Air Pollution Data Collection System for Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., March 4 -- CIBER, Inc., (NYSE:CBR) and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have launched a new state-of-the-art, secure online system that begins a new era in air pollution emissions reporting, database management and pollution control planning.  The new system will expand and improve emissions data collection and reporting in fulfillment of DEP's obligations under the federal Clean Air Act, while also ensuring efficient access to that data for regulated entities and non-regulated businesses, agencies and members of the general public.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010927/CBRLOGO)

The Emissions Inventory Tracking (EMIT) system will help Connecticut businesses and industries that face increasingly complex and demanding reporting requirements to comply with the federal Clean Air Act.  Previously, DEP obtained point source emissions information through a paper-based annual emissions statement report that is submitted by the owner of a source of air pollution in the state.  The submitted data has traditionally been quality assured and transferred to an electronic database.  The EMIT system automates many of the manual, paper-based data collection processes, allowing the regulated community to streamline their emissions reporting.

DEP Commissioner Amey Marrella said, "This new system puts the power of technology to work to improve government services and better serve the people of our state.  By automating an antiquated, paper-based process for collecting information, we are enabling businesses and industries to streamline reporting that is required under the federal Clean Air Act.  The system will also provide DEP staff with instant access to the information needed to ensure compliance with the requirements of emissions permits, which helps protect the quality of the air we breathe."

"CIBER and DEP are launching an innovative yet practical way of collecting and reporting data that not only complies with regulations but enhances the State's ability to plan for and effectively institute pollution control measures. This was a very complex implementation, involving cleansing and conversion of historical data that could not have been successfully implemented without the strong working partnership that was formed between DEP and CIBER," said Tom Saltzer, Vice President and Area Director of CIBER, and head of CIBER State and Local Government Development Center in Harrisburg, Penn.

According to Saltzer, "The EMIT system's architecture leverages all of the benefits of current web technologies, includes a greenhouse gas inventory and comprehensive reporting of industrial, area, and mobile emissions. EMIT will be the next generation of the Air Emissions Inventory System and will consist of a SQL Server database and user-friendly, browser-based applications developed with .NET technologies."

CIBER has more than 25 years experience working with state government clients to streamline operations, accurately meet reporting and other compliance requirements, and efficiently manage the basics of day-to-day operations. CIBER is also providing leadership on projects that address newer concerns such as Government Consolidation and Shared Services.

Skid-e-Kids Networks Continues to Build Momentum as Premier Social Media and Educational Community for Kids with Launch of Toys & Games Swap

ALPHARETTA, Ga., March 4 -- Jumping right into 2010 with both feet, Skid-e-Kids Networks (http://www.skid-e-kids.com/) has introduced nearly a dozen initiatives to promote happy, safe and enriching environments for kids. The latest is the Skid-e-Kids Toys & Games Swap (http://skid-e-kids.com/toy-swap), where kids and their parents can buy and sell gently used toys and games online.

Skid-e-Kids founder Jones Mickel Godwin hit upon the idea for Toys & Games Swap after spending $175 on three new games for his son -- only to have his son beat the games in just a few days. Godwin decided to trade the games in at a bricks-and-mortar game store, which offered him a trade-in value of just $20 for all three games.

With the Skid-e-Kids Toys & Games Swap, parents can list their kids' unused toys and games at prices they think are fair. Parents can purchase those toys or games for far less than they would pay for the same items brand-new.

With initiatives like the Toys & Games Swap, Skid-e-Kids is quickly becoming the ultimate Facebook and MySpace alternative for kids (http://www.skid-e-kids.com/parents/getting-started), thanks to input from kids themselves. Skid-e-Kids.com is a fun, stimulating, completely free and fully moderated social network where parents are encouraged to be involved and interact with their children online. There are no hidden membership fees.

Along with the Swap, Skid-e-Kids members can engage in many exciting activities. They may create their own profiles, play games, call in to WSKID Radio live every Saturday morning or watch Skid-e-Kids TV with reports by the original characters from Skid-e-Ville. Other features include kid-friendly recipes for tasty snacks, health information, kid-centered news and sports reports, age-appropriate fashion advice, and Skid-e-ventures, which are short animated movies centered on a life skill or educational lesson. There are even special sections for preschool-aged kids and military kids, and Skid-e-Kids offers fun educational activities and crafts for all ages to download.

Moreover, Skid-e-Kids recognized that if the site was to be a place where kids could benefit from a social community strengthened by parents and teachers, it also had to be a site where parents and teachers wanted to spend time. Accordingly, Skid-e-Kids created separate parents-only and teachers-only networking sections, where adult members can exchange advice.

Skid-e-Kids recently hosted the Forsyth County, Ga. spelling bee, and the Georgia Association of Educators has invited Skid-e-Kids to assist in sponsoring the Georgia state spelling bee. The company also has partnered with Communities in Schools - Atlanta and Dallas Regions to bring Skid-e-Kids programs to the classroom.

"We are excited to provide a fun place for kids to learn and interact with each other and with their own parents in a safe, nurturing online space, and we are committed to active involvement in local schools," stated Godwin. "Skid-e-Kids is for kids, with significant participation by kids, and we're just getting started. We hope parents will check out the site and see for themselves all we're offering."

Lakelubbers.com Reveals 17 Lake Monsters

MONETA, Va., March 4 -- Lake monsters have captured imaginations for centuries. Lakelubbers.com tells tales of 17 such creatures in the USA, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, Costa Rica and Argentina. Loch Ness's "Nessie" is best known. Muckie, Ogopogo, Memphre, Champ, Illies, Tarpie, Nahuelito and nine others are less familiar.

Most lake monsters look like serpents, dragons or giant fish. But Canada's Thetis Lake monster has been described as a scaly, gilled humanoid - similar to Hollywood's "Creature from the Black Lagoon." Most are relatively harmless, but North Dakota's Devil's Lake Monster destroyed an entire Sioux army and killed all of its fish. Serpent of the Manitou uses tentacles to seize wild game.

Few lake monsters are scientifically documented, but recent sonar evidence showed a serpentine USO - Unidentified Swimming Object - 80 meters long in Ireland's Killarney Lakes.

  Lakelubbers documents these legendary creatures at:

  http://www.lakelubbers.com/newsletter-03-2010.html

Lakelubbers.com features tourism and historical information on 1,330 vacation and recreational lakes in 50 USA states and 50 countries. Homeowners and real estate professionals can advertise vacation rentals and homes for sale. Ten writers research and profile 100 new lakes each month.

Lakelubbers identifies the size, depth, shoreline length, fish species and lake activities that enable visitors to find lakes for their vacations or retirement. Visitors can also find lakes close to their hometowns or zip codes, ideal for weekend getaways.

  "Lakelubbers" is a play on both "landlubbers" and "lake lovers."

IT Managers' Higher-Level Job-Search Needs Are Addressed in New Book

WESTPORT, Conn., March 4 -- IT managers seeking an edge in today's job market will find it in Debugging Your Information Technology® Job Search: A Compass to Winning the Management Position You Really Want (Elegant Fix Press). Janice Weinberg wrote it after concluding that the advice found in books written for general audiences inadequately addressed computer professionals' needs, and that books written for IT readers were primarily geared toward non-managerial personnel.

Weinberg is uniquely qualified to advise IT managers on job-search strategies:

  --  IBM and GE computer background: systems programming, strategic
      planning, marketing, sales management
  --  Former adjunct faculty member of GE's Management Development Institute
  --  Founder of Career Solutions, which serves an international clientele

Readers seeking information technology management jobs, including director, CIO and CTO positions, will learn how to craft resumes consistent with their level. Specifically:

  --  Why including a technical skills section listing platforms, processes
      and software can undermine a manager's ability to generate interviews
  --  Why mentioning certain responsibilities and strengths can downgrade
      your image - and how to know which ones to omit
  --  20 IT-specific questions to mine your experience for accomplishments
  --  Guidance in transforming bland project statements - e.g., "Developed a
      CRM application," "Consolidated three data centers," "Reorganized the
      IT department for greater productivity" - into compelling
      accomplishments that convey a higher-level image
  --  Samples of IT manager resumes and cover letters
  --  Tips for IT professionals targeting their first managerial position

Job-hunters disappointed with their results from using IT job boards, IT recruiters and networking will learn:

  --  How to easily identify employers meeting their geographic, industry,
      size, and other criteria
  --  How they can significantly expand their employment opportunities if
      they possess a particular non-technical capability
  --  Novel ways to find unadvertised jobs
  --  How to identify companies more likely to have openings during a
      recession
  --  How to capitalize on the fact that many new hires don't stay in their
      jobs very long
  --  How to use the telephone to negotiate an interview, with a script
      demonstrating how an IT manager should deal with an executive's
      objections

Readers will learn novel ideas and practical suggestions for promoting themselves as they participate in each employer's IT recruitment process, including:

  --  Vital information to obtain when you receive an interview invitation -
      and how to use it
  --  Important documents to bring to an IT management interview
  --  The one document that anyone seeking an IT marketing or product
      development job must bring to an interview
  --  Why the mini-biographical response most people give to "Tell me about
      yourself" is a wasted opportunity
  --  Four alternative responses to "What compensation are you seeking?" and
      how to determine which to use
  --  A strategy for giving an original, impressive response to virtually
      any interview question - instead of the canned answers most people
      give
  --  How to skillfully deal with not having an educational credential that
      competing candidates possess
  --  How job-hunters unintentionally make interviewers feel uncomfortable,
      including a common mistake at the end of an interview
  --  Samples of the kinds of thank-you letters that can elevate an IT
      management candidate to the top of the slate
  --  Why many candidates fail to convert the second interview into an offer
  --  How to determine whether a reason for rejection is valid
  --  A strategy that can get you an offer after you've been rejected

Weinberg's previous book, Debugging Your Information Technology® Career, features 20 fields that allow computer professionals seeking a change from traditional IT career paths to leverage - rather than waste - the investment in their education and experience.

SPiDCOM Introduces SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design

PARIS, February 16, 2010--

    - CeBIT 2010, Hannover - March 2nd- 6th, Hall 13, Stand D20

    - Based on the Award-Winning SPC300 "No-Limits" HomePlug AV SoC,
the SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design Offers the Best Combination of
Performance, Cost and Flexibility in the Powerline Communication Industry

    SPiDCOM Technologies, the unique provider of "no-limits"
powerline communication System-on-Chips (SoC), announces the introduction of
the SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design.

    The reference design is a powerline to Ethernet bridge
enabling whole-house HD quality entertainment over the home electrical wires,
with an integrated noise filter to optimize performance and an integrated
socket that leaves the electrical outlet available to plug any other
appliance. Easy, the set-up of the network is done simply by pushing a
button.

    The reference design is based on the SPC300 "no-limits"
HomePlug AV SoC, which received a CES 2010 Innovation Award (Las Vegas, USA,
January 2010). This open platform embeds an ARM9 processor dedicated to
added-value customer applications. SPiDCOM provides the Linux firmware and
the development tools, enabling complete end-product differentiation. No
extra processor is needed on SPR300-AV, resulting in substantial BoM savings
(up to 30%).

    The SPR300-AV has a modular approach for a quick integration
by product manufacturers. The digital part, including the SPC300 SoC, fits
into a small 30 X 65 mm module, which then plugs into the power supply mother
board. SPiDCOM provides all the hardware, software and manufacturing
documentation required to begin production of a SPR300-AV bridge.

    The SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design will be presented
on SPiDCOM stand (Hall 13, D20, HomePlug Community Pavilion) during CeBIT
2010.

    About SPiDCOM Technologies:

    SPiDCOM Technologies is a fabless semiconductor company.

    We provide open System-on-Chips and Linux based software bundles for
"no-limits" developments enabling complete OEM/ODM product differentiation
(hardware, software, system).

    Thanks to its unique mix of communication technologies, networking and
system expertise, SPiDCOM Powerline Communication solutions can convert any
wire into a broadband communications network. Applications include HomePlug
AV Home Networking, EoC (Ethernet over Coax), Access BPL, Smart Grid and
Smart Energy.

    SPiDCOM actively participates to the standardization efforts inside the
major international regulatory and standards bodies, among them IEEE P1901
and HomePlug Powerline Alliance. IEEE 1901 draft standard is based on
HomePlug AV specification.

    SPiDCOM, much more than a silicon provider, your "no-limits" solution
partner.

SEYI (Shieh Yih Machinery) Poised for Recovery in 2010 Due to Strong Sales in China

Following a challenging 2009, sales in China, the Company's main market, increased sharply in the Fourth Quarter, with strong orders continuing into 2010.

KUEISAN HSIANG, Taiwan, March 4 -- SEYI (Shieh Yih Machinery) (4533 TT), one of the world's leading producers of mechanical presses, said today that its China sales are expected to grow significantly in 2010. Strong market conditions lead to a fourfold increase in sales to customers in China during the Fourth Quarter of 2009. In the final three months of the year, China sales amounted to TWD 280.7 million (USD 8.8 million) and accounted for 56% of the Company's total revenues, making China the largest market for SEYI's presses.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100304/CNTH010LOGO )

In 2010, SEYI will continue to benefit from the growth of the China market. China's economy grew by 10.7% in last year's final quarter, and is expected to grow by a further 10% in 2010. SEYI presses are used by a broad base of manufacturers which expand capacity in good times and curtail orders for new presses when economic conditions are uncertain. Approximately 65% of SEYI sales are made to manufacturers of computers, communication equipment and consumer electronics, with the balance being sold to automotive and appliance customers.

In 2010, SEYI will also benefit from the start of production at its second manufacturing facility in China, which is targeted to build larger, higher- margin presses for the country's rapidly growing automotive industry. In 2009, vehicle production in China increased by 46% to 13.7 million units.

Largely on the back of stronger demand from China, SEYI's total sales in January were TWD 199 million (USD 6.2 million), and lead times for the delivery of new orders have stretched to 120 days. SEYI is adding workers and machining centers to meet the increased level of demand.

SEYI's strong growth in China follows a difficult 2009, a year in which the Company's sales declined by 58% to TWD1.8 billion (USD 56.2 million) from TWD 4.2 billion (USD 131.0 million) in the prior year. Ms. Claire Kuo, who was elected Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors and named as its Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2009, said, "My first six months as CEO of SEYI was clearly a challenging time for the Company. Our presses are used to manufacture products for a wide range of industries, and our customers adjust equipment purchases quickly in response to changing demand. While we felt the impact of the global economic crisis in 2009, though, we are now benefiting from the economic recovery that is underway, particularly in China."

In addition to a stronger market in 2010, Ms. Kuo noted, SEYI will benefit from actions taken in 2009 to reduce costs and augment the company's equity capital. "In recognition of weaker markets," Ms. Kuo said, "We reduced headcount and streamlined operations in 2009. We also issued 20 million new shares of common stock in a rights offering in October, raising TWD 168 million (USD 5.2 million) of fresh equity, which was used primarily to reduce debt and strengthen the Company's balance sheet."

About SEYI

Founded in 1962, SEYI has established a position of global leadership in the press building industry over the past 48 years. SEYI manufactures mechanical presses, ranging in size from 25 to 2400 tons, at facilities located in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China. At its original location in Taoyuan, Taiwan, SEYI operates a 12,500 square meter facility, and in 2003 the Company began production in China at an 11,000 square meter facility located in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province.

AT&T Investment in Delaware Network Aimed at Enhancing Mobile Broadband Service Across the State

Plans Call for Addition of Nearly Half a Dozen New Cell Sites and the Expansion of Backhaul to Increase Wireless Network Capacity

WILMINGTON, Del., March 4 -- AT&T* today unveiled its 2010 wireless network investment plans for Delaware, which include the addition of nearly half a dozen cell sites throughout the First State.

Today's announcement builds on AT&T's 2009 wireless investment, during which it added five new cell sites in Delaware and upgraded more than a dozen existing sites to 3G in areas like Sussex County and Kent County. From 2007 through 2009, AT&T's total capital investment in its Delaware wireless and wireline networks was more than $45 million.

"The chamber's foremost goal is to advocate for a business climate that welcomes investment in our state," said Jim Wolfe, president and CEO of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce. "AT&T ongoing network investments in Delaware will help further strengthen our technology infrastructure and keep Delaware a competitive and desirable place for business."

J. Michael Schweder, president of AT&T Mid Atlantic,said the investment will promote innovation and stimulate economic growth in the state.

"These investments in smart networks are enabling the innovation that will enhance economic growth and stimulate jobs," said Schweder. "In cooperation with the chamber and others, our goal is to work with Governor Markell and Delaware's other state and local leaders to help create positive economic environment that provides opportunities for companies to continue to invest aggressively in Delaware."

Internet usage growth has brought tremendous benefits for consumers, but requires tremendous investments in infrastructure. This significant investment in infrastructure and jobs is possible due to policy that enables companies to compete and offer the innovative services that consumers are increasingly demanding. AT&T has been working with policy makers to support a national broadband plan that enables broadband adoption and ensures broadband access to every American by 2014.

Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network has grown more than 5,000 percent over the past three years, largely attributed to today's advanced smartphones that are generating dramatically increasing volumes of network traffic. In fact, roughly 40 percent of AT&T's postpaid customer base uses a smartphone today, representing twice the number of smartphone customers than any other U.S. provider.

"We're seeing advanced smartphones driving up to 10 times the amount of usage of other devices on average," said Dan Lafond, vice president and general manager for AT&T in Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. "Despite these unprecedented increases in wireless data traffic, AT&T's network investments and upgrades have enabled us to continue to deliver the nation's fastest 3G network."

AT&T recently completed a software upgrade at 3G cell sites nationwide that prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds. The deployment of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology is the first of multiple initiatives in AT&T's network enhancement strategy designed to provide customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience, both today and well into the future.

Faster 3G speeds are scheduled to become available this year and in 2011 as AT&T combines the new technology with our second initiative to dramatically increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic connections, adding capacity from cell sites to the AT&T backbone network.

The backhaul upgrades are also a key step in the evolution toward next-generation LTE mobile broadband technology. AT&T is designing its new backhaul deployments to accommodate both faster 3G and future LTE deployments. AT&T currently plans to begin trials of LTE technology this year, and to begin LTE deployment in 2011, matching industry time lines for broader availability of compelling devices and supporting network equipment.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T offers 3G data roaming in more than 115 countries, as well as voice calling in more than 220 countries. The technology also provides customers the ability to talk and surf the Internet at the same time.

AT&T is also an industry leader in Wi-Fi with the nation's largest Wi-Fi network, which complements its wired broadband and wireless 3G networks, offering Wi-Fi connectivity in more than 20,000 U.S. hotspots -- including retail stores and restaurants from coast-to-coast. A full list of AT&T Wi-Fi locations is available at http://www.attwifi.com.

AT&T operates 6 AT&T-owned retail locations in Delaware. AT&T's products and services are also available at a number of other authorized dealers and national retail locations.

AT&T Investment in New York City Metro Area Network Aimed at Enhancing Mobile Broadband Service Across the Region

Plans Call for Addition of Nearly 40 New Cell Sites and the Expansion of Backhaul to Increase Wireless Network Capacity

NEW YORK, March 4 -- AT&T* today unveiled its New York City metro  wireless network investment plans for 2010, which include the addition of nearly 40 new cell sites and the upgrade of nearly 70 additional cell sites to 3G, as well as capacity enhancements to hundreds of sites throughout the region.

The planned wireless network enhancement strategy is part of AT&T's 2010 wireline and wireless capital investment, which is expected to be in the $18 billion to $19 billion range companywide, an increase of between 5 and 10 percent over 2009. This planned amount also includes an increase of about $2 billion in capital expenditures for wireless and backhaul related to AT&T's wireless network. This planned level of investment is framed by the expectation that regulatory and legislative decisions relating to the telecom sector will continue to be sensitive to investment.

Today's announcement builds on AT&T's 2009 wireless investment, during which it added 70 new cell sites in the region and upgraded nearly 70 existing sites to 3G. In 2009, AT&T's wireless network investment was nearly $290 million in the New York City metro area.

UTM Solutions Need to be Strengthened to Meet Large Organizations' Needs, Says Frost & Sullivan

LONDON, March 4 -- The Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions market has grown recently due to its attractive network security approach and the increased demand for integrated security. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) are satisfied with current UTM solutions, but enterprise and high security organizations will require best-of-breed operability to fulfill their needs. According to Frost & Sullivan, vendors looking to penetrate this market must offer developed products, with commercial grade functionality first and foremost, as penetration into the large enterprise customer markets will be crucial to sustain high growth rates.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081117/FSLOGO)

"The UTM concept is based on the assumption that a combination of security solutions bundled in the same appliance will create a better security umbrella for organizations," says Ariel Avitan, Frost & Sullivan's Industry Analyst for Network Security Technologies. "Another main advantage of UTM solutions is their low cost in comparison to purchasing many different security solutions. These two advantages are driving the rapid adoption of UTM solutions by SMB customers."

UTM vendors have traditionally targeted SMB and SOHO/ROBO network and these customers will continue to value broader product coverage and cost effective solutions.  In 2009, these segments accounted for 53.6 percent of market revenues globally. However, total market revenues are expected to shift towards the enterprise market, as UTM products improve in functionality and reliability.

Typical UTM solutions include a Firewall, IPS/IDS, an AV (Antivirus), an AS (Anti-Spam) component and a VPN. "While the ability to provide higher level security such as AV and AS attracts enterprise customers, the restraint of such solutions lays in their lack of ability to inspect the amount of data going through an enterprise-size network," adds Avitan.

A critical area of improvement for UTM vendors is product performance. While the value proposition of UTM solutions lies in their ability to integrate a wide breadth of security applications, large organizations will continue purchasing best-of-breed security solutions if their security standards are not being met by the UTM solution.

According to Avitan, "The need for high performance security products in the market was the spark that led a number of network security companies to develop solutions to deal with the intensity of enterprise data flow."

One of these solutions is proposed by Wedge Networks, the company behind the BeSecure line of products. Wedge Networks has developed a patented next generation deep content inspection engine called the "SubSonic engine," capable of detecting, flagging, and blocking malware, spam and viruses at very high accuracy rates while screening high volumes of data with very low impact on network performance.

The Wedge BeSecure was tested already and found superior to the leading UTM solutions with an accuracy rate over 98 percent in malware detection and blocking, against some 86 percent for the leading UTM solutions. "These results are no surprise when the leading UTM solutions are based on packet filtering, or shallow application inspection, e.g. web filtering, that do not accurately detect malware embedded in the application layer," says Avitan.

Frost & Sullivan believes that companies with an innovative approach to developing new solutions will increase their market share in the content security market. "They effectively plugged a security hole for organizations who struggle to find solutions that fit their data throughput needs while maintaining high detection accuracy, a fit that is critical for their business continuity and is not met by UTM solutions offered in the market today,"  concludes Avitan.

Cascades Secures Its Remote Network With VASCO's Two-Factor Authentication

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. and ZURICH, March 4 -- VASCO Data Security Inc. (NASDAQ:VDSI) (http://www.vasco.com), a leading software security company specializing in authentication products, announces today that Cascades - a recycling and paper packaging company - secures its remote network with VASCO's two-factor authentication.

Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products composed mainly of recycled fibres. In order to allow employees to access corporate resources and applications from remote offices or home, Cascades implemented a SSL VPN solution, secured by VASCO's DIGIPASS(TM) authentication solution.

Secure Links, a leading services orientated company with experienced professionals focusing on perimeter network security and secure remote access solutions, proposed VASCO's solutions to Cascades. The company also provided the necessary equipment so that an initial pilot could be set up. After evaluating the pilot project, Cascades opted for VASCO's DIGIPASS solution in combination with its software suite VACMAN(TM).

Cascades's IT support personnel, sales force, management and office workers were all equipped with DIGIPASS GO 6, a one-button authentication device , allowing them to remotely log on to applications, websites and the corporate network. DIGIPASS GO 6 generates one-time passwords which have a limited validity. The technology replaces a similar but costly solution, effectively combating Internet fraud.

"We are very happy to work with VASCO," says Denis Robitaille, Director IT Technical Service at Cascades. "We already had an authentication solution in place but decided to replace it with VASCO's DIGIPASS devices and VACMAN software suite mainly because of the low total cost of ownership. Other factors taken into account were the extended life length of the DIGIPASS and the ease of use of the administration console. Moreover, we were pleasantly surprised that the implementation went so quickly and smooth. VASCO's support department helped us during all the migration steps."

"Cascades is a nice addition to our customer portfolio," says Jan Valcke, President and COO at VASCO Data Security. "It demonstrates the need for strong authentication in work environments. With increasing numbers of remote users needing to access client data, confidential documents, account records and other sensitive information, the issue of security has become a top priority for the business community. The use of authentication for remote access to corporate networks and applications improves data security and allows remote offices and traveling workforce to access their corporate resources and applications from anywhere."

About Cascades

Founded in 1964, Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products composed mainly of recycled fibres. Cascades employs nearly 13,000 men and women in more than 100 modern, versatile operating units in North America and Europe. Cascades' management philosophy, its 45 years of experience in recycling, and its continued efforts in research and development are strengths which enable the company to create new products for its customers. The Cascades shares trade on the Toronto stock exchange under the ticker symbol CAS.

About VASCO:

VASCO is a leading supplier of strong authentication and e-signature solutions and services specializing in Internet Security applications and transactions.  VASCO has positioned itself as global software company for Internet Security serving a customer base of approximately 9,500 companies in more than 100 countries, including approximately 1,400 international financial institutions. VASCO's prime markets are the financial sector, enterprise security, e-commerce and e-government.

Forward Looking Statements:

Statements made in this news release that relate to future plans, events or performances are forward-looking statements. Any statement containing words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intend," "mean," and similar words, is forward-looking, and these statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations. Consequently, actual results could differ materially from the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements.

Reference is made to VASCO's public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for further information regarding VASCO and its operations.

Orange Partners With Netvibes to Offer the World's Largest Collection of Mobile Widgets

PARIS and SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 2010--

    - The Partnership Will Bring Netvibes' Widget Platform to
Millions of Mobile Users Across Europe, Middle East and Africa for the
First Time

    - Content Providers Will Have Access to Orange's 130 Million
Mobile Customers

    Orange and Netvibes today announced a partnership to bring the world's
largest collection of mobile widgets to all types of mobile phone user across
an extensive range of handsets. Netvibes' huge catalogue of nearly 200,000
real-time widgets will be available on Orange widgets, a service featuring on
80% of handsets shipped by Orange. It will also be available on djinngo
mobile, an Orange service open to any mobile phone user in the world. And
soon, mobile widgets will be available to Orange customers in the recently
launched Orange Application Shop.

    The widget collection, known as Netvibes Ecosystem, is a library of
popular widgets from the leading content providers around the world.
Customers will access Orange widgets with one click from the Orange
homescreen. The service has a carousel from which they can chose their
favourite widgets and will be available on devices from the majority of
handset companies, including basic phones right up to the most sophisticated
smartphones.

    Orange widgets first launched in July 2009 and was designed to be quick
and easy to use - even for customers totally unfamiliar with mobile
multi-media services. By providing access to the best, most popular local
content, in customers' own language, Orange is seeking to open a new mobile
widget marketplace for everyone.

    By bringing a user-friendly widget service to the mobile mass market,
Orange is also giving content developers access to an entirely new market of
users. To facilitate this, Orange is creating a software developer kit to
ensure a simple and efficient process for developers to create new and
value-adding widgets.

    Commenting on the partnership, Paul-François Fournier, Executive
Vice-President, Audience and Advertising, Orange said: "As the largest
independent provider of real-time widgets across 90 languages, Netvibes was
the ideal partner for us. Our strategy is to make mobile widgets a reality
for everyone - not just the mobile multimedia fans with sophisticated
smartphones. Our approach is to offer diverse local content, in all
languages, with an intuitive and simple experience that will appeal to all.
Netvibes' catalogue includes widgets from content developers around the world
and this was important for us as we will be offering widgets across Europe,
Middle East and Africa."

    "Our vision is to personalize the entire online world and empower
consumers to customize their entire Web experience. Thanks to our partnership
with Orange, we are bringing personalized widgets to millions of consumers
everywhere," said Freddy Mini, CEO Netvibes. "The era of the real-time,
personalized Web has truly begun."

    While the partnership will focus initially on mobile widgets, the
partners will draw on Orange's leadership in broadband internet and IPTV to
extend the experience across other screens.
