Lilly Diabetes Launches Mobile Application for Those Who Support People with Type 1 Diabetes

App serves as a teaching tool and can provide guidance for treatment with Lilly Glucagon for Injection (rDNA origin) during severe hypoglycemic events

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

News Highlights

    --  Lilly Diabetes launches Lilly Glucagon Mobile App to support #diabetes
        caregivers
    --  Leverage the power and reach of mobile technology through the Lilly
        Glucagon Mobile App for people with #diabetes
    --  Help be prepared for a severe #diabetes hypoglycemic event with Lilly
        Glucagon Mobile App
Lilly Diabetes today announced the release of a new mobile application designed for caregivers and healthcare providers who support people with type 1 diabetes. The Lilly Glucagon Mobile App is a tool to teach how to use Glucagon for Injection, through simulated practice. Glucagon, 1 mg (1 unit), is indicated to treat severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Severe hypoglycemia due to insulin may result in loss of consciousness (insulin coma). The app is designed to help people be more prepared, and also  provide an opportunity to store locations and expiration dates of their Lilly Glucagon Emergency Kits. The Lilly Glucagon Mobile App is now available on the iTunes® store( )as a free download for iPhone(®) or iPad(® )mobile devices.

People with type 1 diabetes who experience severe hypoglycemia during insulin treatment may require glucagon, a hormone produced in the pancreas to raise blood sugar levels.[1] Although Glucagon is rarely needed and only used during a severe hypoglycemic event, individuals in the person's support network, such as family members, teachers, coaches, trusted friends and colleagues, should be trained to give the medicine, which is injected with a syringe. The app can also be used by diabetes educators and school nurses as a teaching tool.

In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas in response to an increase in blood sugar, such as after a meal. As many as three million Americans may have type 1 diabetes.[2] Each year more than 15,000 people under age 20 are diagnosed with the disease.[3] Glucagon should not be used in patients who have pheochromocytoma or patients who are allergic to Glucagon.  Patients must inform relatives or close friends that if they become unconscious, medical assistance must always be sought. If a patient is unconscious, Glucagon can be given while awaiting medical assistance.

"Lilly Diabetes is committed to developing personalized solutions to help people with diabetes achieve their treatment goals and improve their outcomes," said Matt Caffrey, U.S. Product Brand Director, Marketing Specialty, Lilly Diabetes. "The Lilly Glucagon Mobile App leverages the power and reach of mobile technology, providing another opportunity to support people living with type 1 diabetes. Lilly Diabetes is constantly striving to create new and better tools to support the diabetes community in a variety of ways."

The Lilly Glucagon Mobile App is an interactive tool to help caregivers better understand Glucagon's role in diabetes management. Its purpose is to educate and prepare the caregiver on how to use Glucagon in the event of an emergency. The app was developed with input from healthcare providers and people with diabetes.

The Lilly Glucagon Mobile App includes:

    --  Information about severe hypoglycemia and Glucagon
    --  Simulated practice demonstrating how to prepare and inject Glucagon
    --  Visual and audio emergency instructions
    --  Tools to keep track of kit locations and alerts for expiration dates
    --  Important safety information
Important Safety Information for Glucagon

What is the most important information about Glucagon?

    --  Glucagon should not be used in patients with pheochromocytoma or who may
        be allergic to glucagon.
    --  Patients need to tell their healthcare provider if they have been
        diagnosed with or have been suspected of having an insulinoma as
        glucagon should be used cautiously in this situation.
    --  Anyone who may need to help patients during an emergency should become
        familiar with how to use glucagon before an emergency arises. Read the
        Information for the User provided in the kit.
    --  Patients need to make sure that relatives or close friends know that if
        they become unconscious, medical assistance must always be sought. If a
        patient is unconscious, glucagon can be given while awaiting medical
        assistance.
    --  The kit must not be used after the date stamped on the bottle label.
    --  Questions concerning the use of this product should be directed to a
        doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
WARNING: PATIENTS MAY BE IN A COMA FROM SEVERE HYPERGLYCEMIA (HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE) RATHER THAN HYPOGLYCEMIA. IN SUCH A CASE, THE PATIENTS WILL NOT RESPOND TO GLUCAGON AND WILL REQUIRE IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Who should not use glucagon?

Glucagon should not be used in patients who have pheochromocytoma or who are allergic to glucagon.

What should patients tell their doctor before taking glucagon?

Patients should tell their doctor about all medical conditions and prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Patients should tell their doctor if they have been diagnosed with or have been suspected of having pheochromocytoma or an insulinoma.

How should glucagon be used?

    --  It is important to act quickly. Prolonged unconsciousness may be
        harmful.
    --  Family and friends need to know to turn the patient on their side to
        prevent choking if they are unconscious.
    --  The contents of the syringe are inactive and must be mixed with the
        glucagon in the accompanying bottle immediately before giving injection.
        Glucagon for Injection must not be prepared until it is ready to be
        used.
    --  Glucagon should not be used unless the solution is clear and of a
        water-like consistency.
    --  The usual adult dose is 1 mg (1 unit). For children weighing less than
        44 lbs (20 kg), 1/2 adult dose (0.5 mg) is used. For children, 1/2 of
        the solution from the bottle (0.5 mg mark on syringe) should be
        withdrawn. The unused portion should be discarded.
    --  Patients should eat as soon as they awaken and are able to swallow. A
        doctor or emergency services must be informed immediately.
What is some important Information about Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)?

    --  Early symptoms of low blood sugar include: sweating, drowsiness,
        dizziness, sleep disturbances, palpitation, anxiety, tremor, blurred
        vision, hunger, slurred speech, restlessness, depressed mood, tingling
        in the hands, feet, lips, or tongue, irritability, lightheadedness,
        abnormal behavior, inability to concentrate, unsteady movement,
        headache, and personality changes. These symptoms may be different for
        each person and can happen suddenly.
    --  If low blood sugar is not treated, it may progress to severe low blood
        sugar that can include: disorientation, seizures, unconsciousness, and
        death
    --  Low blood sugar symptoms should be treated with a quick source of sugar
        which should always be carried with the patient. If symptoms do not
        improve or if the patient is unable to take a quick source of sugar,
        they should be treated with glucagon or with intravenous glucose at a
        medical facility.
What are the possible side effects of glucagon?

    --  Severe side effects are very rare, although nausea and vomiting may
        occur occasionally.
    --  A few people may be allergic to glucagon or to one of the inactive
        ingredients in glucagon, or may experience rapid heart beat for a short
        while.
    --  Patients who experience any other reactions which are likely to have
        been caused by glucagon should contact their doctor.
Patients and caregivers are encouraged to report negative side effects of Prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit http://www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

How should glucagon be stored?

    --  Before dissolving glucagon with diluting solution, the kit should be
        stored at controlled room temperature between 20 degrees to 25 degrees C
        (68 degrees to 77 degrees F).
    --  After glucagon is dissolved with diluting solution, it should be used
        immediately. Any unused portion should be discarded. Glucagon should be
        clear and of a water-like consistency at time of use.

RiT Adds Comprehensive Power Management, Dashboard & Reporting Capabilities in New CenterMind DCIM Version

TEL AVIV, Israel, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    RiT Technologies [http://www.rittech.com ] (NASDAQ: RITT) today announced that it has
expanded the capabilities of its unique CenterMind software to support comprehensive data
center (DC) power utilization management, enhanced reporting and dashboard capabilities.
The integration of this advanced functionality with CenterMind's superior space,
connectivity and security management capabilities enables it to deliver a new level of
control to DC staff and a previously unreachable level of performance optimization of DC
operations.

    RiT's CenterMind Solution positions RIT in the heart of the DCIM
[http://www.rittech.com/rit_centermind ] sector, with advanced tools from deployment
through provisioning to ongoing operations and maintenance. CenterMind's sophisticated
installation tools enable fast integration with the DC's many thousands of discrete
sensors and control points, making it easy to initiate comprehensive monitoring of all DC
operations from a single dashboard center. In addition, CenterMind's automated
provisioning module brings true optimization to the DC's space and power resource
utilization, dynamically improving its energy and operational efficiency

    By combining environment, power, connectivity and security management capabilities,
CenterMind eliminates the need for complex and costly integration. In addition, by
automating laborious provisioning and network planning activities, CenterMind enables data
center managers to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve service.

    Commenting on the news, Dr. Ben-Eshay, RiT's CTO, and Dr. Vadim Leiderman, RiT's CEO,
said, "With CenterMind, we are bringing a totally new, out-of-the-box vision of data
center management to the data center world. As the industry's most experienced IIM company
with complex deployments in thousands of data centers throughout the world, we believe
that we are uniquely qualified to introduce a new level of innovation, control,
efficiency, agility, and security to the mission-critical data center, and are very
excited to roll out our advanced offerings."

    As a completely modular solution, CenterMind can be fully customized to the exact DCIM
needs of each data center. The modules include:

   
    - Planning & Simulation
    - Provisioning
    - Dynamic Reporting
    - Power, environmental
    - Recourse Allocation
    - Work Order Management
    - Active-I
    - Asset Manager
    - PatchView(TM), RiT's market-leading intelligent infrastructure management
      (IIM) hardware

    Information from each module feeds into CenterMind's central management and reporting
center, enabling proactive operations management across the entire data center. The
software creates clear, actionable information from the mass of data collected regarding
connectivity, services, capacity, security, power, and environmental conditions.

    RiT's innovative CenterMind solution uses complex algorithms and techniques that were
developed in the aviation world to reduce data center down time to a minimum through true
optimization of power resources [http://www.rittech.com/p_plus ], performance, and space,
together with use of the Active-I module and pro asset manager.

    CenterMind is designed to deliver a clear and measurable ROI, with benefits that
include:

   
    - Improved data center management through centralized command and control of
      all infrastructure elements
    - Enhanced agility, enabling the data center to keep pace with dynamic business
      developments
    - Enhanced planning capabilities due to the improved visibility of current data
      and sophisticated tools for predicting future usage, enabling the data center to do
      more with less, resulting in a significant savings of CAPEX
    - Providing a centralized up-to-date and reliable data source, thereby reducing
      OPEX by eliminating the need for physical audits before performing changes in the data
      center
    - Full visibility of existing IT and infrastructure assets - what they are and
      where they are located
    - "True Network Balance" with optimized power consumption and an improved
      environmental profile [http://www.rittech.com/g_plus ]
    - Enhanced troubleshooting capabilities through real-time connectivity status

fSONA Releases Highest Capacity Free Space Optical Wireless Products on the Market Today - the SONAbeam 2500-E and 2500-Z

VANCOUVER, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

             Highest Capacity, Single Link Solution Provides Economical Last Mile

                                        Bandwidth

    fSONA [http://www.fsona.com ] Systems today announced two new free space optical
wireless systems capable of transmitting up to 2.5 Gbps (2xGigE, OC48/STM16) of full
duplex bandwidth. The SONAbeam(R) 2500-E and SONAbeam 2500-Z mark another step forward for
fSONA's SONAbeam product line.

    The SONAbeam 2500-E and 2500-Z systems are ideal for enterprises that need high
capacity connections between offices but are also excellent options for service providers
who want to offer high capacity services to their enterprise customers.

    The SONAbeam 2500-E typically operates at distances up to 1 km, and the SONAbeam
2500-Z up to 350m. Both systems utilize a pair of GigE interface ports to provide 2.5
Gbps, full-duplex links via an indoor multiplexor.

    "Our customers have told us they require more bandwidth for certain applications but
they prefer a single link solution," comments fSONA's Chief Executive Officer, Andrew
Grieve. "Other 2.5 Gbps wireless solutions pair two systems together at added expense. The
SONAbeam 2500-E and 2500-Z both offer the highest capacity wireless connection in an
economical, single link solution making them ideal for connecting satellite or campus
office buildings or for service providers who need to bridge the last mile."

    SONAbeam eliminates the substantial costs of digging up streets and sidewalks required
to install fiber while also avoiding recurring costs. Unlike other wireless solutions, the
SONAbeam is immune to electro-magnetic (EM) and radio-frequency (RF) interference which
means no licensing is required.

    fSONA Networks manufactures the highest-quality, highest-performance, free space
optical wireless communications equipment on the market today. Key to SONAbeam's
breakthrough laser technology is its operational wavelength of 1550 nm, which provides a
broad spectrum of safety and performance advantages. The SONAbeam's high-powered laser
transmitters are able to penetrate heavy rain, snow and fog far more effectively and
consistently than any other available FSO technology.

    About fSONA
fSONA Networks is an innovative provider of next generation optical wireless (also known
as Free Space Optics, or FSO) solutions that utilise a flexible point-to-point
architecture and protocol transparent design. Founded in 1997 with a goal to develop
premier, low-cost, eye-safe, optical transmission products for the broadband access
market, fSONA has created the toughest, most powerful free space optics systems ever
brought to market - the SONAbeam(R) family.

Kenshoo Enhances Product Listing Ads Management for Google Shopping

New Kenshoo functionality for Product Listing Ad delivers more than 50 percent increases in return on investment

SAN FRANCISCO, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Kenshoo [http://www.kenshoo.com ] (http://www.Kenshoo.com), a global leader in
digital marketing software, today launched new Product Listing Ads (PLA) functionality as
part of Kenshoo Enterprise 4.8 and Kenshoo Local 2.8 to help marketers manage Google
Shopping placements more effectively and efficiently. Kenshoo's PLA enhancements include
comprehensive management, tracking and reporting for Google Shopping as well as a custom
PLA bid policy that increased return on investment more than 50 percent for some
advertisers during a beta period.

    "Kenshoo is on the cutting edge when it comes to search marketing technology," said
Jordan Levy, SEM manager at Gaiam, a leading producer and marketer of lifestyle media and
fitness accessories. "Kenshoo keeps us ahead of the curve and its latest PLA functionality
gives us even more confidence that we're working with the best. Google Shopping will have
a big impact for retailers this holiday season and we're excited by what Kenshoo has to
offer."

    Kenshoo's patent-pending PLA offering eliminates the need for search marketers to
manage tracking within data feeds. Product Listing Ads and Product Targets can be managed
and tracked directly within the Kenshoo user interface. The Kenshoo algorithm clusters
data based on historical performance and predicts PLA revenue per click to set bids. New
Kenshoo reports such as the Fusion Report for Product Targets provide marketers with a
holistic look at the performance of each PLA placement and its impact on sales
conversions. Additionally, Kenshoo's path-to-conversion reports show the interplay between
PLA and other channels for optimal attribution and bidding decisions.

    "The sun-setting of Google Product Search in favor of PLA-based Google Shopping
platform changes the game for retailers," said William Martin-Gill, general manager,
Kenshoo Enterprise and Kenshoo Local. "The paid Google Shopping model creates new
opportunities for retailers to control the way they capture demand for their products but
requires a new approach and capabilities. When it comes to PLA, campaign management,
bidding, and tracking all have different requirements than regular keywords and Kenshoo's
PLA capabilities, the most advanced among SEM management platforms, will help clients
maximize results during the critical holiday period."

TF1 - France's Leading Mainstream TV Channel - Deploys Verdiem Surveyor IT Energy Management Software to cut PC Electricity Usage by Over 60 Percent

TF1 - France's Leading Mainstream TV Channel - Deploys Verdiem Surveyor IT Energy Management Software to cut PC Electricity Usage by Over 60 Percent

LONDON and PARIS, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    On target for full ROI within a year of Verdiem deployment, with annual cost savings
of approx. EUR100,000 across TF1 Group PC estate

    Verdiem [http://www.verdiem.com ], a leader in IT energy management and efficiency
software, has successfully deployed its Surveyor solution at TF1 [http://www.tf1.fr ]
Group - one of France's leading integrated media and entertainment groups and operator of
France's no 1 TV channel for major events.

    Surveyor's flexible functionality allows power saving policies to be precisely matched
to customer requirements, resulting in dramatic reductions in TF1's PC energy consumption
across some 4,000 PCs between 60 and 75 per cent.

    TF1 wanted a PC power management solution that was reliable and transparent, and that
would be effective while having zero impact on the end-user. Following a successful trial,
Verdiem Surveyor was chosen by TF1 for its ability to unlock additional PC power savings
of between 15 and 20 percent, in addition to those savings already achieved by its
previous generation PC power management software.

    M. Thierry Michalak, IT Director for TF1 said: "We trialled several PC power
management solutions, and Verdiem's Surveyor solution - proposed by Greenvision - proved
to be superior on both the functional and the technical level - generating a further 15 to
20 percent savings compared to rival solutions. The Verdiem software is also robust, and
has no impact on TF1's network set-up."

    Having compared four solutions in detail, and after several months of tests carried
out by TF1's technical department, M. Thierry Michalak, found that Verdiem Surveyor
"proved to be superior on both the functional and technical level."

    The Verdiem solution deployment is on target for full Return on Investment within a
year, with annual cost savings of approximately EUR100,000 across the TF1 Group's
extensive PC estate. Two factors that were critical for TF1 were IT security and making
sure that any PC power management solution had no impact on the group's existing network
infrastructure.

    Surveyor allows organisations such as TF1 to customise and implement specific energy
management polices according to different group usage. Once the Verdiem client software is
installed on the end-user PC, TF1's IT department can carry out updates or policy
adjustments centrally without the need to disrupt users.

LONDON, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    - Undelete(R) 10 One Button Search instantly recovers files for Windows servers,
desktops, virtual servers and critical application servers. Dynamic new UI is easy to use,
attractive to the Enterprise eye. Undelete 10 supports Exchange, SQL, or SharePoint.

    Condusiv(TM) Technologies [http://www.condusiv.com ], formerly Diskeeper Corporation,
the leader in high-performance software optimising technology, people and businesses,
today announced the worldwide release of Undelete 10
[http://www.condusiv.com/products/undelete ], real time data protection and instant data
recovery.

    The Server, Professional and Client editions of Undelete let you see the contents of
Recovery Bins on remote computers like file servers, allowing IT or users to recover their
deleted files in seconds anywhere across the network with a single click of a button. It's
no longer necessary to spend hours searching backup tapes or Windows Shadow copies when a
user accidentally deletes a file from the server.

    "We have been using Undelete for close to eight years now. Most of our clients have it
installed and we/they are very happy. I think Undelete is a great product - one that no
Windows network should be without", said Rick Mark, Chief Architect - Practice Manager,
Singer Lewak. "As I came from a Novell background in the early 90's and was not seeing an
embedded 'salvage' type ability to restore network-based file deletion, Undelete was a
must. We had been using Diskeeper(R) for quite a while. When Undelete came out, it was an
instant must-have to accompany the other products."

    Undelete can also restore files previously purged from the Recycle Bin or the Undelete
Recovery Bin - even if they were deleted before Undelete was installed

    When a file is deleted, it is automatically captured and stored in the Undelete
Recovery Bin. Undelete 10 captures all the files the Windows Recycle Bin misses, such as
those deleted from shared network folders, deleted from commonly used applications,
deleted by the Windows command prompt, or replaced when newer versions of a file are
saved. Also, if a file is modified several times between a backup or shadow copy, it will
not be saved. With Undelete, these file versions will be saved and are recoverable.

    "Data loss can be frustrating, and a time wasting catastrophe for IT Directors and
System Administrators," said Jerry Baldwin, CEO, Condusiv. "Identifying the business cost
of continuing without the data, recreating the data or notifying customers of a compromise
and the time loss associated with lost data is unacceptable in today's economic business
environment. Undelete satisfies the need for the most advanced, easy to use reliable
protection assuring enterprise productivity, and does so at a low price point. Enterprises
really should standardize on Undelete across all lines of business.''

    Undelete 10 features

   
    - New One-button Search for Recent Files, which allows the user to locate a
      file deleted within a 24-hour period or one week period with one click.
    - New Search Wizard, a single pane view that provides fast and easy way to find
      a lost file.
    - New Dynamic User Interface for ease of use, quality of experience.
    - Undelete 10 Server [http://www.condusiv.com/business/undelete/server ] -
      Protects server files including those deleted by network clients from a centralized
      management console.
    - Undelete 10 Desktop Client - Allows connected laptops, workstations and VMs to
      recover their own files from remote Undelete 10 Server recovery bins.
    - Undelete 10 Professional
      [http://www.condusiv.com/business/undelete/professional ] - Protects locally stored
      files and allows files to be recovered from remote Undelete Server recovery bins.
    - Undelete 10 Home - Provides comprehensive protection of locally stored files.

    Condusiv Undelete 10 "Set it and Forget It"(R) file recovery system runs on all
Windows platforms, including those on VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments.

    Undelete 10 Server edition supports Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, Windows Server 2003,
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

    Undelete 10 Client, Professional and Home Editions support Windows XP, Windows Vista,
and Windows 7.

    In compliance with corporate governance or governmental regulatory requirements for
secure data deletion, Undelete provides an electronic data shedder: SecureDelete(R) 2.0.
Using a bit pattern specified by the National Security Agency (NSA) for the Department of
Defense, SecureDelete not only deletes a file but overwrites the disk space the file
previously occupied making it virtually impossible for anyone to access.

    Availability: Immediately.

ProSpreads Now Offering Mini Lots & Retail

ProSpreads Now Offering Mini Lots & Retail

LONDON, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    ProSpreads, the pioneers of Direct Market Access [http://www.prospreads.com ] spread
betting in the UK, have introduced mini lots across their range of Futures contracts and
Spot FX.

    In addition to this, ProSpreads have been granted a licence by the Government of
Gibraltar to accept 'Retail' traders as well as 'Professionals'. This means that all the
benefits of trading with Direct Market Access (DMA) are now available to a wider audience
and no longer the reserve of city trading institutions and arcades.

    Mini Lots are 1/10th of the contract size of the full size contract value. For
example, for the FTSE 100 Future, the price is GBP1 per point instead of GBP10 per point
and for the DAX Future, EUR2.50 per point as opposed to EUR25. This applies to all the
Futures contracts that ProSpreads offer, and Spot FX, which means that a smaller initial
outlay is required in order to trade with Direct Market Access and experience all the
benefits of ProSpreads' advanced trading platform.

    The functionality of the platform is exactly the same as trading normal size Futures
and Spot FX, with live prices, split-second execution and guaranteed no re-quotes.

    ProSpreads offer some of the tightest spreads in the industry across Bonds,
Commodities, Indices, Metals, Interest Rates, Currency Futures and Spot FX. The same
spreads apply to mini lots as they do to full size contracts.

    With the launch of mini lots comes the announcement that Retail traders can now take
advantage of the ProSpreads offering and the numerous benefits available. As per local
regulatory requirements, all client funds are held in a segregated account separate from
ProSpreads' funds, and retail traders will receive protection under the Gibraltar Investor
Compensation Scheme which ProSpreads is a participant in. Payments under the Scheme are
limited to 90% of a client's total eligible investments which qualify for compensation
under the Act subject to a maximum payment to any one client of EUR20,000.

    DMA is where an individual is able to access the underlying market directly and
compete with all the other participants. There is no dealer intervention and crucially
traders will be safe in the knowledge that they are not having market prices artificially
manipulated against them. The ProSpreads platform shows the live, underlying market prices
and volumes. By referencing prices directly from the underlying exchanges, where thousands
of market participants compete to trade, ProSpreads can off ultra tight spreads and the
assurance that traders will never be re-quoted.

    DMA provides the ultimate in price transparency as traders can see, not just the
highest bid and lowest offer, but also all the underlying bids and offers outside the
market spread. The platform allows traders to trade inside the spread, or at any other
price, so a buyer of the FTSE 100 Future for example, can 'join' the bid or even bid
inside the spread offered by ProSpreads, giving the ultimate flexibility in trade
management.

    The ProSpreads platform is unique and with the introduction of mini lots and retail it
is now accessible and affordable to all traders looking for that extra edge.

    Spread betting carries a high risk to your capital, can be very volatile and prices
may move rapidly against you. Only speculate with money you can afford to lose as you may
lose more than your original deposit and be required to make further payments. Spread
betting may not be suitable for all customers, so ensure you fully understand the risks
involved and seek independent advice if necessary. ProSpreads Limited, incorporated in
Gibraltar, is a part of the group of companies controlled by London Capital Group Holdings
plc, registered number: 05497744, registered address: 2nd floor, 6 Devonshire Square,
London, EC2M 4AB. ProSpreads Limited is a company registered in Gibraltar, registered
number 91368. Registered address: 2/3b Horse Barrack Lane, Gibraltar. ProSpreads Limited
is licensed by the Government of Gibraltar and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling
Commissioner (Gaming Licence No.28) and authorised and regulated by the Financial Services
Commission).

iSoftStone Announces JV with Huawei

iSoftStone Announces JV with Huawei

Conference call to be held on September 4, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. EDT (New York)

BEIJING, Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iSoftStone Holdings Limited ("iSoftStone" NYSE: ISS), a leading China-based IT services provider, today announced that it has entered into a partnership/joint venture ("JV") agreement with Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"), a leading global information and communications technology ("ICT") solutions provider.

The JV aims to build a leading IT services provider in the global Technology and Communications ("T&C") industry. In addition to securing a long-term, sizable business account, the combined entity will strengthen iSoftStone's competitive edge in the highly fragmented IT services industry by incorporating Huawei's best practices and leading market position. Through the JV, Huawei retains a long-term, committed IT service partner capable of providing enhanced delivery quality and a deep, qualified talent pool.

The JV will be 75% owned by iSoftStone and 25% owned by Huawei, with registered capital of RMB 100 million. iSoftStone will appoint the JV's CEO, CFO, and COO. Huawei will appoint the JV's Financial Controller and assign two senior executives to oversee the JV's Huawei related business. The JV will officially start operation in January 2013.

As a key contribution to the JV, Huawei will purchase a significant amount of IT services from the JV in the next three years. Huawei will also provide favorable terms in billing rates, payment terms, and profit allocation. As the JV's majority shareholder, iSoftStone will contribute selected technology and communications businesses into the JV, including iSoftstone's existing Huawei related business but excluding iSoftStone's U.S. businesses and other accounts mutually agreed to by iSoftStone and Huawei.

Mr. T.W. Liu, iSoftStone's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Huawei is a leading global player in the ICT industry, and a long-time partner of iSoftStone. We are excited to further extend the partnership with Huawei. Given the favorable terms agreed to by Huawei, we believe the JV will benefit iSoftStone and our shareholders strategically, financially, and operationally. We expect the JV's establishment and operation will be relatively seamless, because both firms have a long history of working closely together.

"To achieve sustainable growth and profitability, iSoftStone needs to scale revenues and deepen vertical capabilities. This T&C-focused JV, combined with our other two major verticals of BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and ETP (Energy, Transportation, and Public), will accelerate iSoftStone's pace to become a full IT services provider and become a billion dollar revenue company."

The President of the Corporate Development Department of Huawei, Mr. Qinming Wu, said, "We are pleased to form this strategic partnership with iSoftStone to enhance the quality of IT services provided to Huawei and our customers. We believe this partnership will provide Huawei access to enriched IT talent and a highly capable IT services management team.  With over a decade of experience working with iSoftStone, we are confident that the JV will become a leading IT services provider in the T&C industry."

Additional terms and conditions in the Joint Venture Agreement

iSoftStone will furnish a Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission containing this news release, a translated summary of the JV agreement's terms, and the translated version of the final JV agreement (with commercially sensitive terms necessarily redacted) shortly after this news release has been issued.

Safe harbor statement

This news release contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include those related to the timing for and actual formation and operation of the JV, the anticipated financial and other benefits and impact of the JV to the parties, our strategy as it relates to the JV and our other businesses, including the JV's ability to benefit from Huawei's  industry experience and leadership position to satisfactorily deliver IT services to its technology and communications customers, our ability to scale our revenues and deepen our vertical capabilities to become a full-service IT services provider and our goal of being a $1 billion revenue company.

Our forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding expected results and events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Our actual results and other circumstances may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and events indicated in these forward-looking statements. The JV may not be formed on a timely basis or at all, with formation being subject to various conditions and subject to possible delay. We may not realize the financial targets or anticipated benefits of the JV. We may experience operational or difficulties or management distraction in transitioning the T&C business to the JV; our and Huawei's interests may not be fully aligned initially or may diverge in the future; existing or future customers may not wish to have their IT services provided through the JV; and our competitors may seek to disrupt customer purchasing patterns or decisions. Our ability to grow our business (including through the JV) is subject to our ability to  continue to realize operational and delivery efficiencies and continued strong client demand or achieve a diversified revenue base, effectively capitalize on our growth opportunities and strategies, enter targeted markets, or otherwise grow our business in the manner planned, successfully complete planned acquisitions or strategic investments, or recognize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions and strategic investments, on a timely basis or at all. Our customers may also vary their purchasing patterns in response to the economic environment in Greater China and globally. In addition, other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from what we currently anticipate include: our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth directly and through the JV; intense competition from China-based and international IT services companies; our ability to attract and retain sufficiently trained professionals to support our operations; and our ability to anticipate and develop new services and enhance existing services to keep pace with rapid changes in technology and in our selected industries. For additional information on these and other important factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, please see "Risk Factors" that begins on page 7 of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 20-F that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2012, which can be found on our website at http://www.isoftstone.com and at http://www.sec.gov.

All projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to us, which is subject to change. Although these projections and the factors influencing them will likely change, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Such information speaks only as of the date of this release.

eMedia Asia Limited, Asia and mainland China's leading electronics media provider, in partnership with EEBoChina, today announces the release of eeWeibo -- the first microblogging app designed specifically for mainland China's electronics industry professionals using Sina Weibo.

As the latest addition to eMedia Asia's extensive media portfolio, eeWeibo leverages the group's comprehensive electronics expertise, editorial capabilities and expansive community to deliver a groundbreaking app that answers electronics professionals' demand for an electronics industry-specific social networking channel in mainland China.

Second is the Weibo phenomenon, which mainland China's electronics professionals are using to message, connect with their peers and stay informed in the fastest possible way.

"What we are doing now is to eliminate the noise from millions of irrelevant Sina Weibo posts, focusing on content and providing it immediately to mainland Chinese engineers wherever they are," Smith added.

Smith further added, "This is the latest addition to our existing portfolio that further enhances our ability to inform and connect our expansive community."

Customized for the electronics industry

then be quickly adopted in many devices such as: camcorders/DSC, digital TVs, PCs, set-top
boxes, smartphones, tablets ...

    The new HEVC decoder IP leverages Allegro DVT long and successful history of hardware
video IPs development. Thanks to this HEVC decoder IP, Allegro DVT customers will be able
to tape-out HEVC capable SoC as soon as the standard is finalized.

    At IBC 2012, Allegro DVT will demonstrate an FPGA based, real-time, high definition
HEVC decoder, on its booth: 1.A46.

MEMMENTO; The Online Cemetery Goes Public

PRAGUE, September 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    MEMMENTO [http://www.memmento.com ], the online cemetery was launched today. MEMMENTO
is new and original social platform, which allows people to create an online memorial
dedicated to a deceased person. The online memorial on MEMMENTO is a place where memories
are kept forever, a place to which family and friends can return to remember their loved
ones.

    Introducing MEMMENTO

    MEMMENTO allows you to create an online memorial and share it with your family and
friends. Online memorial is a place where the bereaved can gather to honour the deceased
and to remember their lives.

    Thomas Zempliner, founder of MEMMENTO, describes the reasons for creating the online
cemetery: "People today in their busy lives rarely find the time to visit the cemetery
because they spend more and more time by their computers, but the human need for
remembering the departed loved ones remains. MEMMENTO allows you to light a candle or put
flowers onto a memorial, you can read the messages others left or you can create your own.
It allows you to browse photos and spend a while in remembrance. You simply do all the
things you would do while visiting a cemetery or browsing a family album at your home with
one difference, on MEMMENTO you can do all these things online. Whenever you want,
wherever you are..."

    No One Should Be Forgotten

    Today's technology allows the preservation of a memory for eternity. MEMMENTO offers a
possibility to record the lives of your loved ones in a way that they will never be
forgotten. MEMMENTO offers creation of an online memorial for free and guarantees that the
memorial will stay accessible forever.

    Memmento Introduces Official Memorials Of Famous People

    Since the launch of MEMMENTO's beta version people were creating memorials and paying
their respect to famous people such as Robin Gibb
[http://www.memmento.com/Memorial-at-Memmento/704/Robin-Gibb ] of the Bee Gees or the
"Queen of Disco" Donna Summer
[http://www.memmento.com/Memorial-at-Memmento/699/Donna-Summer ] on a mass scale. This led
the creators of MEMMENTO to the idea of official memorials of famous people. The official
memorial on MEMMENTO is the first service of its kind online and it is free for everyone.

    How The Memorial On Memmento Works

    MEMMENTO sees the memorial as an unlimited white space, onto which the bereaved can
place their memories at will. Thomas Hruby, creative director of MEMMENTO says: "Our goal
was to offer absolute freedom to our users so that each memorial they create would be
unique in its own way. I think we have accomplished just that."

Simplified Planning, Enhanced Performance: Self-Service BI

New Version 4 of Jedox Suite Released / Now Even Easier to Use / Optimized Technology

FREIBURG, Germany, September 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    "Spreadsheet-driven corporate controlling and liquidity planning" eventually led to
the collapse of a major drugstore chain, reported German news weekly Der Spiegel, based on
the corporation's insolvency report. Thankfully, there is no need for corporations to be
chained to such old-fashioned tools. Rather, controlling, planning, analysis, and
reporting can be brought up to speed with easy-to-understand software, as the latest
version of the popular Jedox Suite proves.

    (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120903/558979 )

    Jedox Suite is a new software solution for business intelligence (BI) and performance
management, uniting all relevant functions in a comprehensive platform that can be
customized to fit individual client requirements. The kicker is that its user interface is
already intuitively familiar to Excel(R) spreadsheet users. This functionality enables
business users to autonomously model reports, analysis, and planning-true to the slogan of
"self-service BI," which is increasingly in demand.

    Controlling is a classic application arena for Jedox 4, since sales, revenue, results
planning, and other departments require continuous cost and efficiency analysis. For
instance, users can use the Jedox 4 Suite for valid project controlling-ensuring that
project goals, deadlines, and budgets remain on track. Other uses for Jedox 4 are
production controlling, as well as complex cost and production simulation. "Just take new
orders or customized client requests that need to be addressed quickly. Jedox 4 delivers
the facts we need to plan production precisely and safely. Now we can adapt production
planning in rolling cycles," explained Dr. Hartmut Trier, managing director and owner of
Scherer & Trier, a well-known supplier for the automotive industry-and Jedox customer.

    In its newly released Version 4, the Jedox solution features a re-tooled user
interface. What's more, Jedox 4-more powerful than ever before and now with improved
encoding technology--is even easier to integrate with the existing corporate IT landscape.
Featuring improved relational reporting Excel "drill-through" functionality to access
detailed data, Jedox 4 also features increased performance and optimized storage
capability for large and extremely large data models. Said Kristian Raue, Chairman of the
Board of Jedox AG, "This functionality lets us adapt to increasing data size, even in
mid-size companies."

    Satisfied pilot users of Jedox Suite Version 4 include Airbus Operations GmbH,
Berliner Vivantes-Kliniken, and Universitatsmedizin Gottingen.

    For more information on our software, please visit us at http://www.jedox.com

    Headquartered in Freiburg/Breisgau, Germany, Jedox is a leading provider of
self-service BI and performance management solutions. In addition to providing software
and support, Jedox also offers implementation and maintenance of its solutions. Its
recently founded Jedox Academy offers product training and instruction.

Banks' Regulatory Spend Spurs Rule Financial's Growth

Banks' Regulatory Spend Spurs Rule Financial's Growth

LONDON, September 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    IT consultancy boosts revenues by 15%, with growth in the UK, US and Canadian
investment banking markets, as well as in nearshore development centres in Poland and
Spain.

    Rule Financial [http://www.rulefinancial.com ], an independent provider of business
consultancy, IT consultancy and IT services to the global investment banking community,
today announces its growth in revenues of 15 per cent year-on-year and the recruitment of
more banking domain specialists and technical experts. In doing so it has grown its
presence within nine of the top ten global investment banks.

    Despite many economists doubting banks' IT spend this year (e.g. Celent predicted
growth of just 2.8% in 2012), Rule Financial is continuing to expand globally. Rule
Financial has found that regulatory pressure is a key driver for projects that it is
winning in capital markets; with the Dodd-Frank regulation in the US and EMIR in Europe
requiring banks to completely overhaul OTC derivatives clearing systems.

    H1 2012 has also witnessed an increase in the nearshoring of client IT development and
support services to Poland, with Rule Financial's presence in ?od? increasing in
headcount to 178 and planned to rise to 200 by the end of the year. ?od? boasts a highly
skilled, multi-lingual workforce, fresh from the many local technical universities;
further evidenced by the likes of Citi and BNY Mellon who have also recently opened
centres in the country.

    Rule Financial differentiates itself on its domain expertise and has bolstered this
capability in the London headquarters with a number of key hires joining the OTC clearing
and collateral management team. These include James Tomkinson and Jonathan Philp,
specialists in OTC clearing and collateral management. Marina Potok also joined the team
from UBS in August, as a specialist in OTC, structured and securitised products. Rule
Financial has also launched a new application managed services (AMS) practice, spearheaded
by Pauline Parker, who supports global clients' vendor and proprietary systems. In
addition, the North American arm of Rule Financial continues to grow, and has recently
been enhanced by the appointment of John Free from Sapient, as CTO for North America.

    Chris Potts, CEO, Rule Financial, said: "The wave of regulation which was triggered by
the 2008 financial collapse is now being felt by the world's financial institutions, which
is in turn driving IT strategies. Dodd-Frank, EMIR and Basel III are just a few of the
regulations for which firms are turning to Rule Financial for guidance and consultancy.
Our domain experts have incredible knowledge of the practical implications of these
regulations, which is reflected in the increase in consultancy we are undertaking and the
increase in our revenues. Our early move to open a development centre in Poland is not
only supporting, but is also helping to drive our growth. We fully intend to use our
success in the first part of the year as the platform from which we continue to drive for
the recruitment of quality staff and continued financial success."

Hyundai Netherlands first to offer five year NAVTEQ MapCare(TM) map update programme

Hyundai Netherlands first to offer five year NAVTEQ MapCare(TM) map update programme

VELDHOVEN, Netherlands, Sept. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai in the Netherlands is the first auto manufacturer to introduce a five year NAVTEQ MapCare(TM) map update programme - an easy, cost-effective map update package.  Throughout this period new car buyers with line fit navigation systems will have the most recent map version installed for free by their Hyundai dealer when bringing the vehicle in for its annual service.  For the lifetime of the vehicle's 5 year warranty (even if the car is sold on to a second owner), the update programme simplifies the process for the driver of keeping maps up-to-date.  Administration and logistics attached to the map updates are being handled by Nokia Location & Commerce.

Consumer Research* has underlined that more and more people want the latest road information on their navigation systems at all times, which in turn impacts customer satisfaction and loyalty.  The vast majority also feel that the navigation experience has a significant impact on overall satisfaction with a vehicle.

This programme will save drivers money when compared to buying separate map update products on a yearly basis, which ensures the most cost effective way to keep a Hyundai navigation system updated. The annual updates, featuring extensive NAVTEQ® Map coverage of Western and Eastern Europe plus Russia and Turkey, will be installed and activated via USB stick in Hyundai dealerships.  The Netherlands programme is a pilot with a view to rolling out to Hyundai operations across Europe.

An App for Karaoke Lovers - "Sing Me Something"

CROWTHORNE, England, September 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Following the "Draw Something" phenomenon that hit the app stores just a few months
ago, now comes an app that singing fans will love - "Sing Me Something"! It's karaoke with
a twist and a great way of interacting with friends and people across the globe.

    The exciting new Sing me something app [http://singmesomething.com ] is refreshing,
fun and a great way of socialising with fellow musical enthusiasts.

    Unlike any other app out there, it is purely based around your love of singing and
getting to guess the songs, which means it can appeal to everyone from 8 to 80!

    At only $1.99 (GBP1.49), this app is an absolute bargain when it comes to keeping you
entertained and relieving boredom. An addictive and family friendly app, it is a great
test of both your singing skills and musical recognition.

    Sing Me Something's founders, Thomas De Vos and Askin Akhan, have created a fun game
which has a great concept where regular people can become their pop icons.

    A player is given a selection of three songs (complete with melody and lyrics to help
the player achieve the best recording possible) then picks a tune, sings and records it
for another user to listen to. The other player then has to guess what the song is!

    Players can either play randomly and compete with people from anywhere in the world,
or they can invite Facebook friends to join them on Sing me something
[http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sing-me-something-free/id545607234?mt=8 ] and have a great
time socialising with friends, family and colleagues whilst having fun.

    Ideal for regular travellers or commuters too, the Sing Me Something app is great to
play wherever you are. The next step up from Draw Something, this app promises to be even
more entertaining, inventive, energetic and above all, sociable than any other.

    This new app from the application development company IT Enterprise Ltd is set to be
one of the most addictive apps available, and with many features including points and
rewards, Facebook integration, monthly competitions for singing and much more, it is sure
to be a smash hit.

    Sing Me Something is available on iPhone app store and at the Android app market, and
allows users to save their songs, access play stats and even rank other people's singing
talents, making it a great all-rounder.

    A simple yet colourful layout combined with a great concept for entertainment, this
new app is sure to be the next big thing.

    This is truly the next step in social gaming, so warm up those vocal chords and you
will soon see that the Sing Me Something app is the 'key' to great tuneful entertainment!

Dropship Apple Accessories with Applehour.com -- MFI Certificated Products with the Lowest Price Possible

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Applehour.com has proved itself to be a quality dropshipping choice for Apple accessories and is the perfect choice for those starting a dropshipping business.

Some people might worry about the quality of products that are made in China. Cheap iPhone cases spring to mind when thinking about products that might be perceived to be of lower quality but in actuality these cases and a majority of Chinese products are of high quality. 

Those looking to get off to a good start with their dropship business will want to focus on being able to offer MFI certificated products as a Apple Ltd. MFI license is a must-have certificate for Apple products & accessories.

The Apple MFI certification is a license that shows that Apple Inc. has authorized accessory manufacturers to mark the MFI logo on their products. Actually, any MFI-approved product is marked with a "made for iPhone" "made for iPod" or " made for iPad" logo, which is usually printed on the package. However, there are some strict regulations involved with this logo. The chance of getting a MFI certification is only 2 out of 100 products, which is 2% and it is only after passing multiple tests that a license can be issued. Thus, accessories with the MFI sign hold a much more reliable guarantee for customers than others. MFI is a symbol of high-quality for manufacturers and design companies. As a result, Applehour.com sells products made in China that are of high quality and are always reliable making it the perfect website with which to dropship accessories.

"Power4 Visible Light Charging Cable for iPhone iPad and iPod" is one example of a Apple MFI certification product. With its original Apple connector, you never have to worry about the quality of this cable. The visible charging cable is quite unique and allows users to view the charging speed via a flowing light when charging their iPhone iPod or iPad. Applehour.com also carries the same charging cable for Samsung, Motorola, and HTC.
