Using the download depot developed by asknet, Adobe enables research and teaching institutions to offer attractive download versions of its software to their students and university staff, which can be purchased directly from a universitys branded online shop. The ordering process is very simple for authorized users: They log on to the shop using their digital identity ensuring that only people who have been approved can access Adobe offerings at the most competitive price. Once logged on, the user can order the software in the corresponding online shop, download, and then activate it. The licenses are provided by and billed via the universitys trading partner.

To date, students have only been able to purchase the popular Adobe tools in a box. As the digital fulfillment service provider, asknet makes it possible to deliver the Adobe products in a downloadable format. In addition to executing the delivery, asknet is also responsible for managing and distributing license keys from Adobe. asknet has developed a standard interface that directly ties the asknet download depot to an institutions shop to make this capability available. asknet also validates digital identities and proofs of enrollment for external portals as required.

We are pleased that we can now offer students cost-effective downloads of our creative software, said Rainer Siebert, Adobes Sales Manager Education Central Europe. asknets technology delivers exactly what we have been looking for: a way of distributing downloads via university online portals in cooperation with our trading partners. asknet has proven to be a reliable and competent partner in this field.

Dr. Dietmar Waudig, Co-CEO of asknet AG, is pleased about the partnership with Adobe: Adobe asking us to be their digital fulfillment service provider confirms our position as a leading electronic software distributor.

Weyerhaeuser has added another feature to its premium Edge Gold flooring panels to further enhance the panels resistance to rain and moisture. The companys new proprietary Down Pore self-draining technology channels water from the panels surfaces and drains it off the joists below. Along with Weyerhaeusers high-performance edge seal, this helps reduce construction delays for contractors during inclement weather. http://www.woodbywy.com

The patent-pending Down Pore self-draining technology consists of three specially shaped drainage grooves on one of the narrow ends of each 4 by 8 panel. The unique design resists clogging from sawdust or adhesive, and allows water to drain even if the panels are not properly gapped. Preventing standing water reduces water absorption and helps maintain the floor systems integrity.

The new Down Pore technology removes the need to sweep pooled rainwater off the floor or drill holes to let it through, said Bob Olson, Engineering & Technical Director for Weyerhaeuser OSB. Our new self-draining panel design removes water quickly, reducing the drying time needed before installing finishing materials. That can save several days or more during construction. Plus, our proprietary edge sealant also saves builders time and money since they do not need to sand panel edges to achieve a smooth surface. We guarantee it.

Other recent enhancements to Edge Gold panels include a proprietary edge seal formulation that significantly reduces edge swell, and extension of Weyerhaeusers no sand guarantee for the panels from 90 days to 200 days. The no sand guarantee assures builders that the panels offer superior resistance to edge swell for more than six months of weather exposure during construction. As an assurance of long-term performance, Weyerhaeuser also provides a 50-year limited warranty. Edge Gold panels install flat and remain flat, providing a quality floor, improving customer satisfaction and helping reduce callbacks.

Builders have used Weyerhaeuser Edge Gold flooring panels in residential, multi-family and light commercial projects for more than 15 years. Other features that help simplify construction include:

?????Tongue-and-groove edges for a self-gapping fit

?????Touch sanded face for a uniform thickness

?????Pre-printed templates for accurate fastener placement

?????Delivery of panels working-side-up for easy installation

Edge Gold panels are part of Weyerhaeusers comprehensive offerings for better-performing floors. Additional products include Trus Joist? TJI? Joists, TimberStrand? LSL rim board and Weyerhaeuser Premium? Joists. To help builders balance floor performance and cost, TJ-Pro Ratings predict how users will perceive the finished floor. The ratings allow for ready analysis of alternate materials and layouts to better target the floor performance to its intended use before construction begins.

About Weyerhaeuser

Weyerhaeuser, one of the worlds largest forest products companies, began operations in 1900. Our wood products business offers leading structural frame materials, software and technical support for residential, multi-family, and light commercial under the Weyerhaeuser and Trus Joist? brand names, and is one of the largest building products distributors in the U.S. We manage our timberlands on a sustainable basis in compliance with internationally recognized forestry standards, and all of the structural wood products we make are SFI? certified.

Leandro Caniglia, Ph.D. provided new insight into the relationship between optimization and simulation of exploration and production (E&P) projects in the oil and gas industry with his presentation Simulated Annealing at the 19th Annual International Smalltalk Conference in Edinburgh, sponsored by the European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG).

One of our challenges in exploration and production decision making is how to describe PetroVR software as a simulation environment, especially to new users who are primarily seeking an optimization tool, summarized Caniglia at the presentation.

Leandro Caniglia is chief technologist and director of software development for Caesar Systems, LLC and its decision making software product PetroVR, which is based on the Smalltalk programming platform.

Before selecting a preference, understand the differences

In his presentation, Leandro Caniglia differentiated optimization algorithms in exploration and production projects from the PetroVR simulation environment: A simulation environment is meant to reproduce the dynamics of a complex process to generate insights into decision alternatives, while the optimization algorithms help decide on the specific options that minimize or maximize the outcome after it is a well-defined model, said Caniglia. In other words, before selecting a preference, it is helpful to know the principal differences you are dealing with, Caniglia added.

Simulated annealing is well understood in thermodynamics. It was chosen for this years presentation to the ESUG International Smalltalk Conference because it is frequently applied to a widely known optimization problem, the so-called Traveling Salesman problem, which is inherently hard, yet simple to visualize: given a number of destination cities (usually 25) find the shortest pathway that connects all of them. This problem grows exponentially with the number of cities and quickly requires billions of hours of computer runtime over an increasing number of years to solve.

Leandro Caniglia has expanded on his presentation Simulated Annealing in the PetroVR Blog, providing further insight into how the equations of simulated annealing help oil and gas companies solve inherently hard exploration and production problems, including these highlights:

Some hydrocarbon exploration and production optimization problems are complex, where a deterministic answer cannot be reached with confidence, such as finding Correlation Coefficients
In these complex problems, uncertain quantities are not always independent, such as the variables that define the Initial Rate and Reserves of an oil or gas well
Correlating two random variables in this type of hydrocarbon exploration and production problem can require billions of iterations, such as by sampling the variables, and then rearranging the samples in order to approach the desired Correlation Coefficient
PetroVR performs this process using simulated annealing, which is so efficient that it takes only a few milliseconds to complete, compared to the years it would take using algebraic equations

Read the complete simulated annealing description in the PetroVR Blog

About PetroVR

PetroVR provides a fully-integrated simulation platform for petroleum exploration and production planning and decision making. While PetroVR takes advantage of simulated annealing equations when a simple mathematical equation is not feasible, the aim of PetroVR is to provide a decision making platform that combines a simulation environment with optimization tools.

Caesar Systems introduced Petroleum Ventures and Risk (PetroVR) decision making software in 1997 and has positioned it to become the industry standard for petroleum exploration and production planning worldwide. It is the only fully-integrative software suite for E&P development planning that supports risk and uncertainty modeling for the entire opportunity lifecycle, from sub-surface reservoir to surface infrastructure to economics.

In addition to its selection by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy, Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE), formerly the MMS, PetroVR decision making software has been chosen by more than 25 oil and gas companies since 1997, including BHP Billiton, BP, Chevron, Maersk, Murphy Oil, Shell, Talisman and Total.

Appigo, Inc. today released new versions of Todo? Task Manager for the Mac, iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, adding iCloud support, which automatically updates tasks between users devices.

We couldnt be more pleased with how simple iCloud is to set up in Todo, said Calvin Gaisford, Appigos CEO. With iCloud enabled in Todo, keeping your tasks up-to-date on all your iOS devices just happens.

Configuring iCloud in Todo is an easy process. Todo uses the same iCloud account configured by the user when they set up their iOS 5 device. Once inside the Todo app, the user presses a Use iCloud button, and everything else becomes automatic.

Todo with iCloud increases productivity. ?As users work on their tasks, iCloud automatically keeps everything up-to-date on the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. ?By spending less time dealing with task synchronization, users have more time to focus on their to-do lists.

Task synchronization has always played a major role in Appigos Todo app. The initial version, launched in 2008, included synchronization with Toodledo, a web-based task management site. Later, Appigo released their own synchronization service, Todo Online, which gives customers access to their tasks in a web browser.

Earlier this year, Appigo added support for synchronizing tasks using Dropbox. Dropbox has become a popular choice for customers who do not need web-based access and a simple synchronization option between devices.

Appigo also provides a free downloadable app called Appigo Sync, available for Mac and PC, which allows customers to sync their tasks to iCal and Outlook over their local Wi-Fi network.

McCann E-Investigations, a Texas-based computer forensics and private investigative firm recently published a recent case on electronic digital wiretapping by an ex-spouse or ex-spouse to be.

McCann E-Investigators regularly receive calls from clients who are concerned that their ex-spouse or soon to be ex-spouse has compromised their laptop, desktop or smart phone. Says Dan Weiss, Partner at McCann E-Investigations. Suspicion is often raised when the ex-spouse has knowledge of information that was meant to be private, such as attorney/client communications.

Spyware, key loggers and other software designed to eavesdrop and spy electronically are easy????to purchase and install.????The software is inexpensive and can be bought over the internet and installed in a matter of minutes. In most situations, the physical computer must be present for the installation, however, remote installation is also possible. The ability to spy live on an ex-spouse or soon to be ex-spouse is easy, cheap and produces real and useful information for the ex-spouse who is willing to take the risk. It is also illegal. It is classified as illegal wiretapping and unlawful interception of electronic communication and is a second-degree felony that can carry a 20-year sentence.

The issue most of our clients face it that it is difficult to prove and document the installation of spyware. Forensic tools can show details of the software installation including when it was used and in some cases where the information is being sent. It is also possible to gather enough information to turn the case over to law enforcement authorities. Our experience is that law enforcement is more likely to listen to a complaint if it filed with a detailed third party expert report

In cases of suspected electronic digital wiretapping it is important to take the following steps:

1. Contact a forensic investigator on another mobile device other than the suspected unit

2. Do not attempt to find the spyware on your own. It is likely you will containment the evidence

3. Leave the computer or mobile device as you found it and get it to the forensic examiner as soon as possible

4. In the case of suspected “hacking” of your smart phone, purchase a pre-paid phone for secure communication until your phone can be examined

The forensic examiner will create a forensic image of the laptop, desktop or mobile phone and perform a detailed examination of the device for spyware. Once the forensic examination has been complete the spyware can be removed and commercial grade software to defend against future spyware will be installed. The device may require the installation of a more complete firewall and active spyware monitoring in the case of an educated and resourceful ex-spouse.

If spyware is discovered, the E-investigator should work closely with you and your attorney to determine next steps. Sometimes it is best to leave the spyware and use it to send false or misleading information. In some cases it might be best to send a message that would cause the ex-spouse to show themselves and help to prove that they are benefiting from spying on you.

Follow us on LinkedIn – ATM market is a combination of large number of business entities that function in unison to develop and expand the concept of 24/7 banking. The ever growing need for speed and convenience and customers habit driven use of the services are forcing banking/financial institutions to expand ATM installations to ensure customer retention, and satisfaction. Tried and tested levels of secure and safe processing of transactions has over the years stepped up customer confidence in ATM services, and today the use of ATM is moving beyond simple cash dispensing to use advanced self-service functions such as e-ticketing, bill payment, pass book updates, third party product marketing, and DVD rentals. As a result, companies are integrating their software and services more holistically with ATM cards for greater innovation, efficiency, productivity, and ultimately, financial performance.

Factors that kept the global Automated Teller Machines market afloat and rising through the 2007-2009 economic meltdown included growing customer adoption of ATM services and rising preference for self-service banking. The recession interestingly resulted in bank customers resorting to increased ATM transactions, which is direct fallout of rising overdraft fees on debit cards, high service charges for credit cards and reduced preference for plastic money against a backdrop of weak personal finances, and tight liquidity. The recession-induced reliance on cash as against credit is fingered as the prime reason pushing up ATM cash withdrawals. For instance, paralyzed credit markets and drying up of debt markets fueled the use of cash. Broken consumer confidence in banking and financial institutions also played an instrumental role in reinstating customers preference for cash options. In addition to consumers heightened use of ATMs, banks also made additional use of ATMs by providing additional services on ATMs to bankcard holders.

In taut economic conditions, where operating costs and productivity at every branch office is of critical importance, banks reduced costs and improved productivity by reducing time-consuming, repetitive, low value-added transactions in branches and providing them through ATMs. The cumulative strength of the installed base of these machines worldwide was relatively unruffled, unlike new installations in developed markets, which witnessed moderate slowdown in growth as a result of banks/financial institutions postponing replacement of aging equipments/machines, and canceling branch expansions, which typically provide a business case for new machines. Future growth in the market, post recession, will be driven by increasing regulation and impending political changes driven by the financial crises led economic recession.

Despite the threat to ATM/debit card market from smart cards, POS, and other new payment methods, ATMs will continue to remain a trusted standard in banking operations, and replacement demand will continue to stem from the developed countries where older & existing units will need to be replaced with higher functionality units. Demand is forecast to be especially high for sophisticated ATMs with superior capabilities. For example, deposit processing is a classic example of new ATM capabilities that attracted the attention of banks in developed nations. Image-enabled ATMs that can simultaneously process up to 50 checks without the need of an envelope, display and print images on a receipt holds ample appeal to small/medium size businesses with busy schedules. In addition, the steady political thrust in the form of EMV (Europay-MasterCard-Visa) and 3-DES (triple data encryption standard) specifications, technical innovation, rapid advances in the form of intelligent deposit, and solutions that integrate mobile-banking with the self-service/ATM channel, will drive future gains in this space. Various promotional schemes offered by banks also augurs well for the market, as these schemes, especially cash-return rewards or incentives drive increased usage of ATMs, thereby demanding more machines to be installed.

As stated by new research report on Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Asia-Pacific is the largest and the fastest growing regional market for ATMs, with installed base of ATMs waxing at a CAGR of about 11.9% over the analysis period. Growth in Asia-Pacific market will be especially driven by increased ATM installations in emerging markets such as China and India. Also, new government regulations in countries such as Thailand are stimulating growth of ATM market.

Major players in the marketplace include Diebold Inc., Euronet Worldwide Inc., Fujitsu, Hitachi-Omron Terminal Solutions, Corp., NCR Corporation, Triton Systems, VeriFone Holdings, Inc. Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH, among others.
