LONDON, March 30, 2010--     Telnic Limited (http://www.telnic.tel), the Registry Operator
for the award-winning communications-focused .tel top level domain (TLD),
today announced that the date for the upcoming launch of Internationalized
Domain Names (IDNs) in sixteen languages would be Tuesday, 15th June 2010.

    "If you're a Jorn, Julia or Bjorn, or a Chloe or Li in
Chinese, you will now be able to get your .tel name in your own language,
opening up a significant number of names for individuals and businesses to
register," said Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic Limited. "As your single
point of contact, we're pleased to be able to offer these IDN .tel names so
that many more people can get the benefit from being discoverable on the
internet with a place they can own and control."

    An internationalized domain name (IDN) is an internet domain
name that contains at least one character that is displayed in software
applications such as web browsers, in whole or in part, in a
language-specific script or alphabet, such as Chinese, Russian or the
Latin-based languages with diacritics, such as German.

    Telnic will be launching IDNs in Chinese, Danish, Finnish,
German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian,
Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. As further
languages are approved for IDNs, Telnic will be consulting with the community
and adding these where there is a demand.

    Registrations will start at 3 p.m. BST on 15th June and all
registrations will be on a first-come, first served basis. As with existing
.tel domain name registrations, pricing will be set by ICANN-accredited
Registrars and their resellers and is anticipated to be the same as the cost
of an existing .tel registration. A list of Registrars which support IDN .tel
domain name registrations will be made available at

Local residents have asked for more choices in television service and today we're delivering."

"Cable has been the only game in town for too long, and we're excited to change that today in Wilton," said Steve Krom, vice president and general manager for AT&T in New England. "We know customers in Fairfield County want a better choice to break free from cable, and AT&T U-verse is the answer. And we'll continue to make U-verse TV even better for customers with regular upgrades and cool new applications that enhance the television experience."

High Gear Media Launches New Real-Time Car Pages, Curating the Web for Car Shoppers

Dynamic New Pages Blend Aggregation Technology With Originally Written Content To Present an Ultra-Relevant, Live Snapshot of the Web for Any Car

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 30 -- High Gear Media (http://www.highgearmedia.com), a vertical publishing company publishing more premium automotive content than anyone on the Web, today announced the launch of real-time car pages for hundreds of car models across its owned and operated network of automotive sites.  The new pages update constantly with the best content about any car model from around the High Gear Media network and Web.

With examples like Nissan Leaf, Chevy Equinox, Honda Accord, Chevrolet Camaro, and Toyota Prius  -- the new pages combine web aggregation technology and high quality original editorial content to give users a real-time, curated view of the most relevant material from around the web on any one car.   Every new car page does the work most car shoppers try to do for themselves, surfing around the Web and weighing what different sources say.

"There has been an explosion in auto content online and consumers end up frustrated and buried in confusing data and opinion, unsure of what information can be trusted," said Ido Green, High Gear Media's CTO.  "Our new car pages make it easier than ever for car shoppers to find information by cutting through the noise and presenting the most relevant, high-quality content every time for any car, all in one place."

High Gear Media's expert editorial staff and over 200 content contributors add originally researched and written historical context as well as related current headlines from the High Gear Media network of car sites.  From any car page, any user can also sign in and submit their own short articles - which can end up published and linked to from that car page.

The new car pages highlight quality content faster and more often than other sources.  While Wikipedia's page about the Toyota Prius updated 40 times so far in March and links to 200 sources, High Gear Media's similar page has linked to the best from over 8,000 pieces of content, and was updated a few hours ago.

The new pages will be available on all of High Gear Media's owned and operated destinations like TheCarConnection.com, MotorAuthority.com, GreenCarReports.com, AllCarsElectric.com and FamilyCarGuide.com.  Key features of each car topic page include:

  --  Real-time aggregation of expert reviews, user reviews, question and
      answer content, Twitter content, and video clips.
  --  Originally written snapshots of each car plus related headlines from
      High Gear Media's network of car sites.
  --  Specs, photos, and trim information for every year of the car along
      with the current year's meta review score given by High Gear Media's
      editors.

  About High Gear Media

High Gear Media is a vertical publishing company publishing more premium automotive content than anyone in the world through websites targeting key buyer and vehicle segments.  High Gear Media's owned and operated network of automotive destinations reaches over 2.5 million visitors monthly and includes its anchor site, TheCarConnection.com, its luxury site, MotorAuthority.com, green and electric car sites, GreenCarReports.com and AllCarsElectric.com, and its family-focused sites including FamilyCarGuide.com.  High Gear Media's editorial staff and over 200 contributors have written at publications like Car and Driver, AOL Autos, Autoweek, Automobile Magazine, and Wired.  The company's content is syndicated to partners including Yahoo! Autos, Huffington Post, NASCAR.com, AOL Autos, and The San Francisco Chronicle.   Independent automotive writers and people who are passionate about cars can contribute content by visiting HighGearMedia.com.  High Gear Media is headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif. and received its funding from Accel Partners, Greylock Partners and DAG Ventures.

Election on a Tuesday...We Won't Give it a Second Thought

LONDON, March 30, 2010--

    - Tuesday 30 March is National Decision Day, a Time to Stop
Dithering and Start Deciding

    After a fun-filled weekend, the nation writes off Monday and
finally snaps back into action on a Tuesday, as 49 per cent of Brits claim
Tuesday is the most decisive day of the week. Encouraging the nation to get
straight to the point, make quick decisions and save time, Microsoft's search
engine Bing launches National Decision Day today, helping Brits to get
decisive.

    Aimed at everyone who struggles with decision making, this
call to action is supported by research that reveals Tuesdays aside, we tend
to dither or react in haste when it comes to decision making. Life-changing
choices seem to take a fraction of time and small ones can fill the day, with
the study revealing two thirds (66 per cent) pick a political party without
hesitation. However, not all campaigning will go to waste if Brown and co
focus on youth, as 45 per cent of 18-24 year olds do spend time weighing up
their voting options, compared to 78 per cent of 65+ who are set in their
ways.

    Another decision that requires more thought is ending a
relationship, but a third of people (32 per cent) dump their partner on a
whim, even though a quarter (25 per cent) will umm and ahh over what sandwich
to have for lunch. After the recession the one decision the nation doesn't
take lightly is a change of job with almost two thirds (63 per cent) putting
strong thought behind their next work environment.

    Paul Stoddart, Bing's Consumer and Online UK Search Lead said:
"We're faced with an average of 107 decisions a week so the choices available
can be overwhelming with the added pressure to make the right decision. A
quarter (25 per cent) of Brits look to the internet for help with decision
making and often the first port of call is a search engine. Bing works by
organising results in a more logical, user friendly way that reduces internet
clutter to provide the most likely response and with the clever refining tabs
it means less redundant clicks and quicker answers. Tuesday may be the most
decisive day of the week but Bing is available anytime and encourages the
nation to embrace National Decision Day."

SGN Announces Skies of Glory - Battle of Britain App Now Available on App Store

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 30 -- SGN, a leader in cutting-edge social mobile gaming, today announced the launch of its Skies of Glory -- Battle of Britain App for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store. The app includes dozens of in-game items and features previously only available via micro-transactions because, for a limited time, players who buy the app will save substantially on these add-ons. Passionate pilots can now receive the Battle of Britain campaign bundle, which includes ten new heart-pounding missions, the very popular Skirmish Mode, which adds 95 additional dogfight missions, the War Games Mission Pack that includes 10 missions, and four planes that can be unlocked as the player progresses.

"The Skies of Glory -- Battle of Britain App for iPhone and iPod touch is our response to player demand for high-quality games that offer an online console experience. This launch is another step in the evolution of quality, multiplayer, social mobile gaming," said Randy Breen, CEO of SGN. "SGN is determined to continue to push the boundaries of social mobile innovation and to offer interactive and engaging game-play to the world on iPhone or iPod touch."

Skies of Glory -- Battle of Britain offers exhilarating features, enables lightning fast multiplayer game play with up to eight opponents over 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth connections and includes a challenging multiplayer game mode, "Defend The Base," that requires a greater level of team play and strategic cooperation.

In this app players have the ability to battle with other virtual fighter pilots across the world in the first historic campaign that was fought entirely in the air. This campaign immerses players in stimulating missions that follow the battle over England during the Second World War with 3-D flight simulation and accelerometer-based flight controls. To keep pilots on their toes, there are three phases of conflict within the campaign that follow the battle over England, starting after France surrendered to Germany in the summer of 1940. These include: Phase One -- Kanalkampf ("Channel Battles"), Phase Two -- Adlerangriff ("Eagle Attack") and Phase Three -- Blitzkrieg ("Lightning War"). In addition, as the Battle of Britain is the most sustained aerial bombing campaign in history, three versatile bombers have been added to the game: the British Mosquito, the Russian Yakolev, and the P-38 from the U.S. The game also supports a jukebox so that players can listen to their favorite music during battles.

The SGN's Skies of Glory -- Battle of Britain App is available for download for $6.99 from the App Store on the iPhone and iPod touch at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.

ViewSonic Cuts Costs, Enjoys Superior Customer Support With Virtela Global Managed Network Services

Global MPLS Network Delivers $500,000 in Annual Savings for Visual Display Leader

DENVER, March 30 --   Key Enterprise Benefits:
  --  Derive more value out of every network dollar invested
  --  Exceptional customer service that goes "above and beyond" the call of
      duty
  --  Superior network and application uptime enhances end user experience
      worldwide

Virtela, the world's largest independent managed network services company, today announced that ViewSonic® Corp. has chosen Virtela to provide and manage its global enterprise network.  By migrating to Virtela, ViewSonic has cut $500,000 from its annual network costs while gaining superior customer service.  ViewSonic is a leading global provider of visual display, computing and digital content solutions, including LCD TVs and computer monitors, digital photo frames, digital signage displays and media players.

Lowering costs and improving quality of service were the major drivers leading ViewSonic to explore options for a new network service provider.  Despite the premium rates of its previous provider, ViewSonic did not receive the quality of service it deserved, according to Martin Ronquillo, network systems manager for ViewSonic.

"From a business perspective, we really needed to find a more cost-effective way to get the high level of performance and uptime our global users need," Ronquillo said. "We spoke with a number of Virtela customers who validated that Virtela delivers not only on cost savings, but also on customer service and technology foresight. We've not been disappointed; Virtela continues to meet or surpass all of our requirements."

Virtela provides ViewSonic with a high-performance MPLS network spanning North America, Europe and Asia. The network supports ViewSonic's critical applications, including Oracle ERP and Citrix XenApp for remote users, delivering the uptime and responsiveness end users require for optimal productivity. Virtela's service delivery was on or ahead of schedule, implementing ViewSonic's worldwide network in less than 60 days.

"Virtela's customer service has far exceeded our expectations," Ronquillo added. "For example, we moved to a new office in London and the local service provider we had contracted with before Virtela was not able to bring up service in time. Even though it wasn't their responsibility, Virtela stepped in and rerouted our network traffic so our users weren't left stranded. Moreover, the Virtela team consistently communicates with us. With most providers, you don't hear from them after the network is brought up. Virtela checks in regularly to see if there's anything we need."

Unique among network service providers, Virtela intelligently routes customer traffic over its multi-carrier Global Service Fabric(SM), which aggregates and integrates the best local, regional and global networks to offer unparalleled resilience and geographic reach. In addition to MPLS, Virtela offers an extensive portfolio of managed services - including IP network, security, remote access, device monitoring and management, and application acceleration. Virtela's carrier- and vendor-agnostic approach allows customers to leverage the best-of-breed network services that meet their specific needs.

"As globalization becomes more mainstream, Virtela's value proposition has grown even stronger by consistently delivering the highest quality worldwide network at an attractive price backed by superior support," said Vab Goel, Virtela CEO and partner at Norwest Venture Partners.  "The ViewSonic brand is known for quality, performance and value. Virtela is passionate about delivering those same benefits to every one of our customers, combined with continual innovation that enhances their competitive edge."

Virtela, the world's largest independent managed services company, offers award-winning managed services including MPLS and IP-based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Security, Remote Access, and WAN/LAN Device Monitoring and Management, to some of the most competitive multinational companies in the world.

WD(R) Leads in 2.5-Inch Areal Density With New 750 GB Notebook Hard Drives

WD Mobile Hard Drives with Advanced Format Technology Offer Highest Capacity For Mainstream Notebook Computers

LAKE FOREST, Calif., March 30 -- WD® (NYSE:WDC) today announced that it is now shipping 750 GB of storage capacity in a standard-height 2.5-inch notebook hard drive -- the industry's highest capacity to date in this form factor. Designed for mainstream notebook computers, the WD Scorpio® Blue(TM) 750 GB hard drives utilize WD's leading 375 GB-per-platter areal density and Advanced Format technology.

An ideal solution for notebook computers and other portable devices whose users require extreme capacities in a small package, extended battery life and cool, reliable operation, the WD Scorpio Blue 750 GB hard drive is also one of the quietest 2.5-inch drives on the market.

"WD continues to lead the market with capacity points that enable consumers and business professionals to store large quantities of data and rich media content," said Jim Morris, WD's senior vice president and general manager of Storage Products. "Our leading power efficiency, achieved without compromise to performance, is another example of the added features and value that our customers have come to expect from WD."

  Features of the WD Scorpio Blue include:
  --  Advanced Format technology - Technology being pioneered by WD and
      adopted by other drive manufacturers to increase media format
      efficiencies, thus enabling larger drive capacities.
  --  WhisperDrive(TM) - WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology combines
      state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest
      2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These algorithms also optimize the
      way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power
      consumption.
  --  ShockGuard(TM) - Leading-edge ShockGuard technology protects the drive
      mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.
  --  SecurePark(TM) - WD's SecurePark technology parks the recording heads
      off the disk surface during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is
      off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface
      resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and
      improved non-operational shock tolerance.
  --  Fast and efficient - Ultra-fast 3 gigabits per second (Gb/s) SATA
      interface speed yields performance fit for demanding mobile
      applications.
  --  Tested for compatibility - WD performs extensive tests on hundreds of
      systems and a multitude of platforms in its FIT Lab(TM) and Mobile
      Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives

OpinionLab Expands Integration of Customer Feedback with Web Analytics to Drive Actionable Insights

Boosts ROI of Multivariate and A/B Testing Programs: Voice-of-Customer Data Enhances Analytics for Streamlined Web site Optimization

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill., March 30 -- OpinionLab, the pioneer and leader in voice-of-customer (VOC) listening technologies, today announced the expanded integration of its feedback collection and reporting suite with multivariate and A/B testing tools. By integrating web analytics with OpinionLab's VOC solutions, brands augment traffic-analysis programs with actionable insight into the reasoning behind user behavior.

"With the cost of acquiring a new customer at six to seven times that of retaining an existing one, the imperative for brands to tune into input from engaged consumers has never been greater," said Rand Nickerson, CEO of OpinionLab. "While Web analytics provide crucial insight into what visitors do online, streaming VOC data reveals why those users behave the way they do.  With the expansion of our proven integration tools to include multivariate and A/B testing platforms such as Omniture Test&Target, brands can now layer page-specific customer insight over analytics test results.  Aside from identifying successes or problem areas more efficiently, companies are able to leverage key insights across their entire Web site or organization, exponentially increasing the ROI of every test performed."

A/B testing, or bucket testing, is a method of user testing by which a baseline control sample is compared to a test sample in order to determine the most effective Web page for a selected audience.  Multivariate testing expands on this process by allowing for multiple Web site components or pages to be tested in a live environment.

By integrating test performance data with OpinionLab's VOC solutions, businesses join attitudinal and behavioral data sets to reveal the root cause of customer actions.  Companies combine real-time, page-specific customer-feedback data with Web analytics to gain actionable business intelligence that applies not only to the specific touch point from which a user submits feedback, but also to the entire online presence or brand.

OpinionLab's patented, opt-in dynamic comment card is unique in its inherent compatibility with A/B and multivariate testing tools: the non-intrusive, always available feedback link collects streaming VOC data without interfering with or distracting from users' authentic experience with pages under review.

The benefits of this integration are reciprocal: VOC data guides further behavioral analysis and provides insight into certain patterns uncovered through analytics while Web-analytics data gives context to user comments and complaints, allowing brands to prioritize customer needs based on online traffic.

"Our breadth of experience in integrating with multiple analytics vendors, such as Omniture, WebTrends, Google Analytics, and a host of others, gives us unique insight into the measurements that are critical to identifying and managing site-performance issues," added Rand Nickerson.

With a ten year track record of success, OpinionLab is the proven leader and innovator in VOC listening technologies. Its familiar [+] symbol is a gateway to the patented, proven feedback methodology currently adopted by hundreds of the world's leading brands, implemented on more than 6,500 Web sites worldwide, and used by millions of consumers each month.

OpinionLab collects, interprets, and analyzes page-specific ratings and open-ended comments, then filters and distributes that streaming data to appropriate stakeholders within the organization. With proven expertise in collecting customer feedback from all digital and traditional touch points, including Web sites, brick-and-mortar locations, mobile sites and applications, and much more, OpinionLab provides consumers with a simple, consistent feedback interface and helps major brands efficiently leverage complex user-experience or business-intelligence data in real time.

About OpinionLab

Based in Highland Park, IL, OpinionLab is the pioneer and leader in real-time voice-of-customer (VOC) listening technologies. The patented, proven methodology behind this page-specific, opt-in customer-feedback system helps many of the world's top brands collect, manage, and leverage input from engaged consumers. By inviting customers to share insight in their own words, at anytime, from anywhere, OpinionLab harnesses the collective intelligence of consumer voices, interprets that information, and provides the tools to make VOC data actionable. Consumers in 50 countries click on the familiar [+] symbol more than 7 million times each month. For more information, visit http://www.opinionlab.com.

Velaro Unleashes Real-Time Language Translation in Click-to-Chat with Google Translate(TM)

For the first time businesses and web site visitors can use different languages seamlessly in e-commerce web-based chat

BALTIMORE, March 30 -- Velaro, Inc., the developer of the multi-award winning click-to-chat product, today officially unveiled its real-time chat translation feature powered by Google Translate(TM) translation service.  This feature enables the web site visitor and the agents to use completely different languages while inside a web-based chat.

Velaro's click-to-chat translation feature is configurable in a couple ways.  The web site visitor can simply select their preferred language from a menu before the live chat session starts.  Once selected, Velaro's chat service will automatically update the web site visitor's interface with the selected language.  Alternatively, business owners can set entire departments to a specific language, allowing different language-based versions of their web site to automatically offer live chat in the specified language.

"Lightspeed is committed to providing our active trading clients with the best trading technology, risk management solutions, educational tools, and customer service available in the market," said Janice Barrilleaux, Chief Operating Officer, Lightspeed Financial, Inc.  "Already a trusted partner, Velaro's new translation service now enables Lightspeed to communicate in real-time with a greater breadth of clients in the language most familiar to them.  During a fast-paced, sometimes volatile trading day, having the ability to quickly interact with clients in an efficient way that is most convenient for them is critical to their success and ours. Velaro's click-to-chat translation feature is a welcomed addition to our suite of client-centric services."

A key factor in Velaro's language feature is its simplicity.  As language translations take place behind the scenes, it is invisible to both the web site visitors and the agents.  The result is a fluid conversation that one would expect from two people speaking the same language.

"E-commerce has become a mainstay for businesses around the world.  Year-on-year growth in global e-commerce has been growing at more than 40%.  If a company wants to compete in this market it is critical that it be able to conduct business in multiple languages.  Velaro has been setting the bar in click-to-chat communication for over 10 years, and this is no exception.  Our real-time language translation feature breaks down one of the last significant barriers in the global e-commerce market," stated Alex Bloom, President of Velaro.

Founded in 2000, Velaro is an established leader in click-to-chat and intelligent engagement. Velaro won independently rated live chat awards in '05, '06, '08, '09 and 2010. With 99.98% uptime guaranteed, Velaro is the solution of choice for leading companies such as LG Electronics, Blue Cross Blue Shield, MarketStar, Experian, Toro, and Epicor.

Chrysler Group LLC to Showcase Live, Mobile TV at New York International Auto Show

Company is First Automaker in the United States to Offer Live, Mobile TV

NEW YORK, March 29 --   --  Company now offers live, mobile TV in eight 2010 model-year vehicles:
      Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep® Commander, Dodge
      Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, Dodge Nitro, Ram 1500 and Ram 2500/3500
  --  Watch live sports, breaking news, kids' programs and primetime network
      shows in the back seat
  --  Content includes programming from ABC, ABC Entertainment, ABC Family,
      ABC News, Adult Swim Mobile, CBS, CBS College Sports, CBS News, CNBC,
      CNN Mobile, COMEDY CENTRAL, Disney Channel, Disney Channel Original
      Movies, ESPN, ESPNEWS, ESPN 2, FOX, FOX News Channel, FOX Sports, Fuel
      TV, MSNBC, MTV, NBC, NBC2Go, NBC News, NBC Sports, Nickelodeon,
      Playhouse Disney, SOAPNet and Speed
  --  Feature available now as a Mopar option for $629 plus installation,
      includes one-year subscription
  --  Mopar's live, mobile TV option includes 3-year/36,000-mile warranty
      for new vehicles and a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on used vehicles

  Live, mobile TV is coming to the Big Apple.

Mopar is channeling live, mobile TV into Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge and Ram vehicles. The company will showcase its new technology at the 2010 New York International Auto Show.

Chrysler Group LLC is the first automaker in the United States to offer live, mobile TV to consumers. The system offers something for everyone: college and professional sports, breaking news, children's shows, primetime sitcoms, reality TV and daytime dramas.

"We are the first automaker in the United States to offer live, mobile TV in more than 100 metropolitan markets," said Pietro Gorlier, President and Chief Executive Officer - Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care, Chrysler Group LLC. "Live, mobile TV gives our customers the ultimate in entertainment and it's a great example of how Mopar adds value to our Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck brands.

"With Mopar's wide range of options and accessories, customers may customize their vehicles to fit their needs and aspirations," Gorlier added. "In addition to accessories, Mopar also supports each brand with excellent customer service, enhanced with cutting-edge service-tool technology including wireless diagnostic."

Until now, the challenge for mobile TV has been to deliver high-quality, uninterrupted coverage in urban environments and at highway speeds. Existing mobile TV systems in the United States either offer limited channels or require larger satellite dishes on vehicle roofs - and a large price tag to match.

Mopar's suggested retail price is $629, plus installation. A one-year pre-paid subscription is included with installation.

The entertainment package is available as a dealer-installed option on the following 2008-2010 model-year vehicles with factory DVD entertainment systems: Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander, Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, Dodge Nitro, Ram 1500 and Ram 2500/3500.

The service also may be added to select 2008-2010 model-year vehicles when new Mopar headrests or seat-top DVD entertainment systems are purchased.

How It Works

Television signals are delivered through a dedicated multicast network built by San Diego-based FLO(TM) TV Inc., a live, mobile TV service provider and a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Inc. FLO TV offers live and time-shifted programming from top entertainment brands.

The service is available in more than 100 major markets and many interstate driving corridors; however, it is not available in some rural areas.

Audiovox Corp., of Hauppauge, NY, supplies FLO TV Auto Entertainment hardware that integrates with Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles' existing entertainment systems and new Mopar 7-inch DVD screen systems. A small antenna, similar in size to a laptop mouse, is mounted on a vehicle's roof to deliver the digital TV signal. Inside the vehicle, the receiver and wiring are installed under the interior trim of the vehicle and are not visible to occupants.

User-friendly wired and wireless remote controls allow viewers to easily surf channels, similar to TV systems at home.

Mopar's live, mobile TV option includes a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty on new vehicles or a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on used vehicles for hardware and installation.

About Chrysler Group LLC

Chrysler Group LLC, formed in 2009 from a global strategic alliance with Fiat Group, produces Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram Truck and Mopar brand vehicles and products. With the resources, technology and worldwide distribution network required to compete effectively on a global scale, the alliance builds on Chrysler's culture of innovation -- first established by Walter P.

  About Mopar

Mopar distributes approximately 280,000 parts and accessories in more than 90 countries and is the source for all original equipment parts for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck vehicles. Mopar parts are unique in that they are engineered with the same teams that create factory-authorized vehicle specifications for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck vehicles, a direct connection that no other aftermarket parts company can provide.

More Than 70 Years of Mopar

When Chrysler bought Dodge in 1928, the need for a dedicated parts manufacturer, supplier and distribution system to support the growing enterprise led to the formation of the Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation (CMPC) in 1929.

Mopar (a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts) was trademarked for a line of antifreeze products in 1937. It also was widely used as a moniker for the CMPC. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s - the muscle-car era. The former Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth "package cars" equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of "special parts" for super stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division, called Mopar Performance Parts, in order to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use.

Ironworks Consulting Helps BioSignia Handle Almost 300% Increase in Site Load on 'The Biggest Loser Know Your Number' Website

RICHMOND, Va. and DURHAM, N.C., March 30 -- Ironworks, a management, Web and IT consulting firm, announced today that following an in-depth performance tuning project for BioSignia's website http://www.biggestloserknowyournumber.com, the site handled a 300% increase in site load during Tuesday's airing of NBC's popular reality show "The Biggest Loser."

"Since the start of the 2010 season when the 'Biggest Loser Know Your Number HealthScore' was first used by the contestants and the consumer product was mentioned on the television show as being available online, the site was challenged to meet high user demands," said Randall Bowen, executive vice president of BioSignia. "With Ironworks' help, after our two week performance tuning project, we were able to handle increased site load during and after Tuesday's show, which allowed us to manage a close to 400% increase in visits to the product order page!"

BioSignia engaged Ironworks to review front- and back-end application code, server configuration and analyze the technology stack of the "Biggest Loser Know Your Number" website to handle the upsurge in traffic due to the show's popularity and consumer interest in the "Biggest Loser Know Your Number HealthScore," an at-home health test.

"After analyzing the application and related infrastructure, we identified and helped resolve several areas that improved site performance," said Larry Hoffheimer, Application Management Practice lead at Ironworks Consulting. "The team monitored key performance health metrics throughout the show and the site handled the high traffic without a hiccup."

`Fab Lab-ulous' Opportunity for Almost Anyone to Make Almost Anything

MANCHESTER, England, March 30, 2010--     The UK's first Fab Lab (http://www.fablabmanchester.org) has
opened in Manchester - bringing innovation to the people - in a hi-tech
community mini-factory.

    To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:

    http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/manufacturinginstitute/43206/

    Fab Labs give everyone, from young children through to entrepreneurs and
businesses, the capability to bring their ideas and inventions to life.

    The first UK `Fab Labbers' have already made a `Sky Baby'
folding travel carry cot; a `Crackit Bat' ultra-light beach cricket bat and
model wind turbines. A group of young carers from the Manchester Young
Inventors group are also developing: a baby's bottle with an inbuilt colour
changing temperature gauge; a multi-purpose DIY tool; and a toothbrush with
an inbuilt MP3 player.

    Born from an outreach project by Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) in inner-city Boston, Fab Labs have exploded around the world. From
urban areas, to the villages of Africa, they are connected by a global video
link network, enabling ideas, designs and knowledge to be shared across
cultures and borders.

    The Manufacturing Institute intends its Manchester Fab Lab in East
Manchester's landmark Chips building to be the first of many for the UK. The
Project is supported by the Manchester Innovation Investment Fund,
comprising: The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts
(NESTA), the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA), Manchester City Council,
Manchester: Knowledge Capital, and the Commission for the New Economy.

    Julie Madigan, Chief Executive of the Manufacturing Institute, said: "Fab
Labs bring together the opportunities and skills to liberate the innovations
of individuals, communities and small businesses. This is a groundbreaking
opportunity to broaden our innovation base and increase crucial invention
skills. It's a proven grass roots approach that will directly benefit the
economy and different parts of the community."

    Fab Lab founder Professor Neil Gershenfeld, Director of the Center for
Bits and Atoms at MIT, said: "Fab Labs give people the tools they need to
create technology, to be creative and make the stuff that they can't buy in
the shops. Manchester led the first industrial revolution and now it is at
the centre of a new industrial revolution where anyone can make anything,
anywhere using digital manufacturing."

Sir Richard Leese, Leader of Manchester City Council, said: "Manchester has a
proud history of innovation and Fab Lab will be another first, as well as
another ingredient in the regeneration of east Manchester. This imaginative
project has the power to inspire invention and innovation - bringing together
young and old, businesses and individuals, to empower them to create their
own products."

    Shepherds in Norway have used their Fab Lab to create mobile phones to
track sheep. In Afghanistan `Fab Labbers' are creating a local telecoms
infrastructure and prosthetic limbs, while in South Africa a government and
business backed project is creating simple internet connected computers that
hook up to televisions and cost just ten dollars each.

    The Manchester Fab Lab is free to non-commercial users. Businesses and
inventors can opt to protect their product development ideas by paying to use
the service. It will reverse the top down approach to technological
advancement by empowering everyone to invent.

    `Fab Labbers' can use advanced digital and manufacturing technology to
make products out of wood, acrylic, composite moulds, silicon, cardboard,
sheet aluminium, plastics, copper foil and vinyl. There are waxing, chemical
moulding, milling and routing, laser cutting, electronics, textiles,
embroidery, vinyl cutting and 3D scanning and printing facilities.

    Complete novices can use the centre and receive help in developing their
own ideas, or in building some of the products made at other Fab Labs using
ready-made instructions.

Bluestar Silicones Launches a New Range of Products for Solar Applications

LYON, France, March 30, 2010--     Bluestar Silicones is launching a new range of solar application
products. The range includes a new high performance adhesive, CAF(R) 530,
which optimises the longevity performance of solar modules.

     (Photo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100330/384522 )

    Bluestar Silicones is launching a new range of silicone products which
will increase the efficiency and longevity of solar modules by extending
their resistance to weather erosion under conditions where performance must
be constant for at least 25 years!

    This new range includes mono and bi-component silicone elastomers (RTV 1
& 2) designed for sticking and sealing the frame and junction box as well as
bi-component products designed for the encapsulation of components in the
junction box and of photovoltaic cells. The range, specifically adapted to
the assembly of solar modules, includes high performance products, such as
high performance adhesives on multiple substrates used by the profession,
encapsulation agents with dielectric and exceptional fire resistance
characteristics and transparent encapsulation agents for photovoltaic cells
with very high levels of optical transmittance.

    CAF 530, the star of the new solar range

    Solar modules demand high performance of their components. The high
performance Bluestar Silicones CAF(R) 530 adhesive guarantees long term
sticking and sealing of the solar module providing long-life protection of
the photovoltaic cells and associated connections against humidity, the main
cause of efficiency troughs in modules over time. Because of its very high
degree of elasticity, the CAF 530 adhesive resists and absorbs differential
dilations of the assembled materials. The use of CAF 530 delivers in
particular reliable, long-life adhesion between the junction box and the rear
panel of the solar module.

    For over 30 years, the Technical Service teams have been providing
expertise to Bluestar Silicones customers in very demanding markets
(Aeronautics, Automotive, Household Appliances, Solar, etc.). This high skill
level comes into play with the performance evaluation tests of our products
and assistance in the design of our customer's parts using our silicone
solutions. Bluestar Silicones can also produce prototype equipment series for
its clients or in close collaboration with equipment suppliers, thus
providing a service to match the very high demands of the solar industry.

    The development of this new range illustrates Bluestar Group's
determination to become a major sustainable development actor. This
commitment is one of the four company values of Bluestar Silicones. Since it
was founded a quarter of a century ago, The Bluestar Group has always paid
particular attention to protecting the environment. The invention of specific
membranes to allow the filtering of waste water was indeed at the origin of
the creation of the group in 1984.

    Created in 2007 with the acquisition of Rhodia Silicones by China
National BlueStar Limited, Bluestar Silicones is a global supplier of
silicones with a turnover of EUR600 million and manufacturing sites in all
regions of the world. Bluestar Silicones is one of the world's leading
manufacturers of completely integrated silicones. With 180 researchers and
over 50 years' experience in silicones, Bluestar Silicones offers a complete
range of silicone products in the fields of release coatings, specialty
elastomers, health products, specialty fluids, emulsions and resins.

    "We're also offering more high-end Bingo Rooms, Linked Games and loads
more. Picking from a more complete range, in a sleek new Lobby is going to be
quite a thrill for the members."

    And the best is yet to come promises Tom Hillary, Gamesys Technical
Director.

    "One of the major reasons that we stuck with the old site for such a long
time - seven years is an eternity in the digital marketplace - is that I
didn't want to reinvent the wheel just for the sake of it. I wanted the
technology to be at a level that would allow us to make one significant move,
and then return our focus to developing new features.

    "The secret to the new technology is that it's incredibly easy to build
on, which means that we'll be able to add features faster than anyone else in
the marketplace.

    "The new site, and particularly the platform it's built on, has made us
future-proof."

    Whatever the future holds for the self-proclaimed home to the best games
and biggest jackpots, we're sure it'll be bright ...

    GAMESYS

    The Gamesys Group was founded by Noel Hayden in April 2001 with a small
team of developers. The aim was to build a profitable online entertainment
business providing Instant Win, Bingo and Casino games to a worldwide
audience using proprietary gaming software.

    After eight years, the Group's leading brand Jackpotjoy.com has built an
audience of over 3,000,000 members and pays out in excess of GBP90 million
every month. The success of Jackpotjoy.com has established the Gamesys Group
as one of the UK's leading online gaming businesses. In 2006 they were named
No. 1 in the Microsoft/Sunday Times Tech Track 100 League Table, and they're
now one of only four companies to have appeared on the list four years in a
row. This feat reflects both the company's capacity for sustained growth and
its remarkable resilience during periods of financial instability.

Cleversafe Responds to Cloud Security Challenges with Cleversafe 2.0 Software Release

Addresses information security core principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability within virtualized and cloud storage infrastructures

CHICAGO, March 29 -- Cleversafe Inc., the leader in resilient storage solutions ideally suited for storage clouds and massive digital archives, announced its Cleversafe 2.0 software to address the cloud security challenges existing with legacy storage approaches. With this new release, Cleversafe addresses the core principles of information security - confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA).

Given that security vulnerabilities for data most often occur when multiple copies of data are retained and replicated, according to a 2009 Verizon Business Data Breach Report, the best defense against such breaches is to avoid retaining the data in the first place. The report also recommends minimizing the retention and replication of data. Users leveraging Cleversafe's approach to storing data eliminates this threat, while also preventing disclosure of information to unauthorized individuals or systems.

Cleversafe's Dispersed Storage(TM) technology, which has been in the market for more than two years, seamlessly and securely divides data into slices, and then disperses them to multiple storage nodes typically across three or four data centers. Each individual slice is unrecognizable as data and therefore inherently secure, whereas a defined threshold of slices can be used to bit-perfectly recreate the original data. This approach replaces costly replication with only a 30-60 percent storage expansion and yet has even higher availability than four replicated copies.

Cleversafe's approach solves the problems of traditional perimeter security - which does not work in a virtualized or cloud infrastructure.  Customers value the approach of how securing the confidentiality of data shifts from securing the perimeter to transforming data to be inherently secure.

Key functionality enhancements within Cleversafe 2.0 align with the CIA principles of information security:

  Confidentiality
  --  Securing data in a multi-tenancy environment is possible with
      Cleversafe's 2.0 SecureSlice(TM) confidentiality, which virtualizes
      data using keyless encryption and advanced secret sharing techniques,
      making slices unrecognizable and inherently secure. Although common
      advice is to encrypt data in the cloud; key management, bulk
      encryption, and re-encryption after compromise present serious
      challenges to cloud storage. Cleversafe solves all these problems with
      a keyless encryption approach. Customers are in control of
      reconstructing their data, with the confidence that their data is
      inherently secure in motion or at rest because the original data can't
      be recognized without access to a threshold number of slices.

  Integrity:
  --  PerfectBits(TM) integrity, included in Cleversafe 2.0, guarantees
      bit-perfect data storage and delivery. With both slice level integrity
      checking and data level integrity checking, data is verified as
      bit-perfect each and every time before being delivered. This ensures
      data cannot be modified without authorization, and detects malicious
      threats. PerfectBits integrity also proactively monitors and corrects
      data integrity through an intelligent background process on storage
      nodes. Proactive error correction is crucial for long-term archives
      and massive digital stores where information isn't frequently
      accessed.

  Availability:
  --  Cleversafe 2.0 includes features to enable upgrade, expansion, and
      migration with an always-on architecture. Zero downtime upgrades, hot
      swap disk replacement, storage and performance expansion without
      interruption, and an architecture that tolerates six or more
      simultaneous failures, helps cloud storage providers deliver on their
      SLAs. SmartWrite(TM) assurance guarantees availability for writing
      data by ranking Slicestor nodes, whereas SmartRead(TM) optimizes
      content distribution, even under failure conditions of storage nodes,
      or an unbalanced network. These features are table stakes for
      dispersed storage platforms.

This new release follows on the recent expansions to the Cleversafe hardware platform.  Last month, Cleversafe expanded its hardware platform with 8 and 24TB storage capacities for storage nodes and an all-in-one storage cabinet for enterprise-class data centers. This allows customers to scale from terabytes to petabytes of storage for large digital content files, such as videos, audio files and images. These hardware progressions also provide the foundation for Cleversafe 2.0 improved resiliency enhancements.

"A number of vendors are now vying for leadership in the race to create a secure data abstraction layer," said John Webster, Senior Partner of Evaluator Group. "With the release of Cleversafe 2.0, Cleversafe demonstrates a clear lead."

"The landscape of storage is changing as data continues to proliferate exponentially," said Chris Gladwin, CEO of Cleversafe. "Typical cloud security approaches include replication to increase availability, which incurs tremendous overhead expenses and compromises confidentiality. Encryption alone isn't gaining momentum for the cloud as additional challenges, such as key management, are introduced. Cleversafe has committed its research and resources to ensure information resiliency by architecting it into the DNA of our storage platform, thereby decreasing costs and complexity for organizations deploying cloud storage."

HOUSTON, March 29 -- Clearwire Communications, LLC, an operating subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ:CLWR) announced today the expansion of its sales operations for CLEAR's super fast mobile Internet service throughout greater Houston. The company also named John Smith as general manager for the Houston market.

With CLEAR, consumers and businesses can access the Internet wirelessly, at true broadband speeds - at home, in the office, and on the go anywhere in the CLEAR coverage area. CLEAR covers more than 1,900 square miles and more than 4 million people. Regionally, service extends as far north as Conroe and northeast as Kingwood; as far west as Katy and southwest as Richmond/Rosenburg; as far south as Alvin and southeast as Clear Lake; as far east as Baytown.

"We're pleased to complete our Texas service launch with a valuable new category of Internet service designed to make people's lives more enjoyable and more productive."

A CLEAR Difference

The CLEAR customer experience is similar to that provided by Wi-Fi, but without the short-range limitations of a traditional Internet hotspot. CLEAR uses a wireless 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi called WiMAX, which provides service areas measured in miles, not feet. Furthermore, CLEAR gives you average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps.*

As the Internet integrates deeper into daily life, the opportunities to stay connected and be productive are enhanced by CLEAR in numerous ways. For example:

  --  A mobile professional no longer needs to seek out Wi-Fi hotspots or be
      constrained by the speeds and limitations of 3G modem cards;
  --  A college student or retiree can now have affordable Internet service
      to meet their needs at home, on campus and on-the-go;
  --  A commuter can now work or access entertainment sites like Hulu or
      Pandora on the way to and from home;
  --  A busy parent can now have full Internet connectivity for kids
      studying or playing games in the back of the family minivan.

For these and many other customers, CLEAR's simple and innovative pricing provides ultimate flexibility. CLEAR's mobile and residential plans can be purchased by the day or by the month, with several no-service-contract options available. Home Internet service plans start at $30 (USD) per month. CLEAR 4G mobile Internet plans start at $40 per month. For a limited time, customers in Houston can take advantage of CLEAR's online-only mobile Internet promotion with plans starting at $15 per month for the first two months after a $50 service credit with a two-year service agreement.  This online promotion is available at http://www.clear.com.

Additional savings are available for customers purchasing a combination of services such as home-and-mobile or mobile-and-mobile options. Combination plans start at $55 per month.

True road warriors will benefit from the speed and reach of the CLEAR 4G+ dual-mode 4G/3G service. CLEAR 4G+ offers customer access to the entire Clearwire 4G network and 3G mobile Internet service outside the CLEAR service area. CLEAR 4G+ is available for $55 per month.

Visitors or occasional users with a WiMAX enabled device can also purchase a convenient day pass for $10.

Full details about CLEAR products, service plans and options for business customers can be found online at http://www.clear.com, at a CLEAR retail store or by visiting an authorized CLEAR dealer.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release, and other written and oral statements made by Clearwire from time to time, contains forward-looking statements which are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, as well as on a number of assumptions concerning future events made with information that is currently available. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, management's expectations regarding future financial and operating performance and financial condition; proposed transactions; network development and market launch plans; strategic plans and objectives; industry conditions; the strength of the balance sheet; and liquidity and financing needs. The words "will," "would," "may," "should," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "intend," "expect," "believe," "target," "designed," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward- looking statements, which are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of Clearwire's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from such statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ are:

  --  We are an early-stage company with a history of operating losses and
      we expect to continue to realize significant net losses for the
      foreseeable future.
  --  Our current and future plans are subject to a number of conditions and
      uncertainties, including among others, our ability to manage ongoing
      market development activities (including the development of over
      10,000 sites), our performance in launched markets and our access to
      additional funding.
  --  We regularly evaluate our plans, and we may elect to pursue new or
      alternative strategies which we believe would be beneficial to our
      business, including among other things, modifying the pace at which we
      build our 4G mobile broadband networks, augmenting our network
      coverage in markets we launch, changing our sales and marketing
      strategy and or acquiring additional spectrum.
  --  If our business fails to perform as we expect, or if we elect to
      pursue new plans or strategies, we may be required to raise
      substantial additional financing, and if we are unable to raise such
      financing on acceptable terms we may need to modify our plans
      accordingly.
  --  We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the
      transactions with Sprint and the strategic investors.
  --  We are committed to using commercially reasonable efforts to deploy
      wireless broadband networks based solely on mobile WiMAX technology,
      even if there are alternative technologies available in the future
      that are technologically superior or more cost effective.
  --  We currently depend on our commercial partners to develop and deliver
      the equipment for our legacy and mobile WiMAX networks.
  --  Many of our competitors are better established and have significantly
      greater resources, and may subsidize their competitive offerings with
      other products and services.
  --  Our substantial indebtedness and restrictive debt covenants could
      limit our financing options and liquidity position and may limit our
      ability to grow our business.
  --  Sprint Nextel Corporation owns a majority of our shares, resulting in
