FEDERAL GRANTS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR WASHINGTON STATE CRIME VICTIMS FEDERAL FUNDS TO STATE AND TRIBAL PROGRAMS AND SEATTLE INTERNET SAFETY OFFICERS.

SEATTLE, WA -- The following information was released by the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington:

The Department of Justice announced the award of more than $6 million in grants this week to enhance services for victims of crime and to help protect children in the Western District of Washington. The grants were awarded by the Office of Justice Programs to the Washington State Crime Victims Fund, the Nooksack Indian Tribe and the Seattle Police Department. The grant to the Seattle Police Department will help fund the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

. "We are committed to protecting children and assisting the victims of crime," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "We must target our limited resources to where they are most needed. These federal funds will assist those who help our most vulnerable citizens."

The largest grant, $5.6 million was awarded to the Washington State Crime Victims Fund. The fund is administered by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and provides financial assistance to victims of crime. The federal funding will pay for medical expenses, counseling, forensic exams and other costs for thousands of crime victims. The federal funds make up about a third of the crime victims compensation fund, which processes payments for about 6,000 crime victims annually.

The Nooksack Tribe in Deming, Washington, also received a grant to assist victims of crime. The $150,000 grant is for the third year of a program to identify the needs of crime victims and to assist with services for crime victims, particularly the victims of child abuse, elder abuse, DUI and gang violence.

The final grant awarded this week is to the Seattle Police Department to support the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC). The grant of $384,543 funds officers working on the ICAC. Those officers are involved in investigating cases of child abuse and exploitation that involve use of the internet as well as outreach activities to schools and community groups about internet safety. The federal grant provides key funding to keep the ICAC task force working to keep children safe.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington provides key leadership in obtaining these federal funds. For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the U.S. Attorney's Office at (206)553-4110.

Award-Winning App-DNA Accelerates Application Migration for Citrix Deployments, Saves Time, Cost, Risk; Accurately Test, Remediate, Prepare Applications for Desktop Transformation.

M2 PRESSWIRE-May 24, 2011-: Award-Winning App-DNA Accelerates Application Migration for Citrix Deployments, Saves Time, Cost, Risk; Accurately Test, Remediate, Prepare Applications for Desktop Transformation(C)1994-2011 M2 COMMUNICATIONS

RDATE:24052011

LONDON, UK -- App-DNA, the global leader in application intelligence, who is exhibiting this week at the Citrix Synergy Conference, announced accelerated Citrix virtualisation deployments with the award-winning AppTitude application intelligence software. Additionally, App-DNA has a new Citrix XenDesktop-based hands-on test drive version of the award-winning AppTitude software. App-DNA was the 2010 Synergy Best of Show winner and is a finalist for the 2011 Synergy award for Best Partner Solution for Desktop Transformation. App-DNA is a Bronze Sponsor in the Citrix Synergy Solutions Expo at Booth 622 and in the Simplify Desktop Transformation with Citrix Ready Partners Pavilion at Booth 813. Experience the no-cost AppTitude test drive on the App-DNA website.

App-DNA is one of only ten firms participating in the Citrix Synergy Simplify Desktop Transformation with Citrix Ready Partners Pavilion. App-DNA helps illustrate the application preparation step as enterprises go from "wow" to the "how" with desktop virtualisation. A combination of educational sessions, exhibits, demos and hands-on experiences at Citrix Synergy help enterprises move from device-centric traditional desktops to user-centric virtual desktops.

AppTitude takes application compatibility automation to the next level by combining application insight with business detail. This "application intelligence" provides clear insight into desktop transformation projects. AppTitude tests and remediates applications, plus illustrates the business value of migrating applications to virtual platforms like Citrix XenDesktop or a new OS like Windows 7. Integrating with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Active Directory, AppTitude can show how application transformations affect users, devices, regions or groups of an organisation. Enterprises or system integrators can model scenarios to determine if an application would best be delivered in a XenDesktop environment or a Citrix XenApp-Microsoft App-V environment. AppTitude also automates virtual package creation. Enterprises have more accurate deployments, spending less time and budget. AppTitude manages Windows 7, Internet Explorer, Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp, Windows 2008 R2 and VDI initiatives.

"Using AppTitude to manage a VDI project for 1,400 applications, I have visibility that I never had before," explained Ian Cawson, Technical Architect at The Co-operative Group, winner of the Citrix Synergy Customer Innovation Award. "AppTitude indicates application conflicts, that we need to customise. This information means outstanding success rates for application packaging -- our success rate is in the middle 90%. I can build the budget, better estimate the timelines and staffing. It has given me a new confidence level about our VDI project."

"Enterprises see the benefits of new technology, and want to get started with it right away. App-DNA cuts the time in preparing applications for a desktop transformation project, saves millions in costs and provides reassurance that the project can be more successful," commented Paul Schnell, App-DNA chief technology officer. "App-DNA is proud that the customer, The Co-operative Group, was recognised with the Customer Innovation Award at Synergy Berlin. App-DNA is thrilled to be again nominated for a Best of Synergy award. As the 2010 Best of Show winner, App-DNA has been able to more broadly illustrate the pivotal role application intelligence plays in desktop transformations."

Ameritech Lands Cable Service Contract in Northeast Ohio.(Originated from Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio)

Apr. 10--Ohio's largest local telephone company, Ameritech, has landed a toehold in Northeast Ohio's cable business.

The Chicago-based company's New Media Enterprises division was awarded the right by North Olmsted to begin providing cable service to the city's 35,000 residents.

The franchise agreement is the company's third such agreement in Ohio, and its 14th in the Midwest.

The company expects to begin constructing its fiber optic cable network in North Olmsted this summer, and will begin providing service sometime before the end of the year, said spokesman David Onak.

The move is part of Ameritech's broader strategy to expand its services. Eventually, the company wants to offer one-stop-shopping for services including local and long-distance telephone service, shop-from-home service, interactive games and video service.

The move is the latest development in the race among huge national telephone, cable and communications companies to take advantage of deregulation by grabbing chunks of each other's markets.

The numbers are huge. Nationally, the local telephone market is a $90 billion industry; long-distance calling represents a $70 billion market while cable TV is a $25 billion business.

Ameritech's arrival into Northeast Ohio's cable market will shake up an industry that has seen virtually no head-to-head competition. Entering the market takes a huge up-front construction investment.

In North Olmsted, Ameritech will be in direct competition with Cablevision of Ohio, Northeast Ohio's largest cable provider.

Most analysts believe that a cable competitor entering a new market automatically will land a certain percentage of customers, simply because customers want a choice.

Further, companies with high name recognition -- such as Ameritech, which provides telephone service to two-thirds of Ohio -- may be able to snag market share even more quickly.

Cablevision spokesman James P. Evangelista immediately questioned how Ameritech's contract was awarded.

Evangelista suggested that the North Olmsted city council passed the agreement with little or no public debate. North Olmsted city officials could not be reached last night.

Under the agreement, Ameritech will pay North Olmsted 5 percent of its gross revenues.

Ameritech will offer subscribers as many as 90 channels "competitive price," Onak said.

Initially, Ameritech telephone customers who subscribe to its cable service will receive separate bills. Ultimately, however, the company hopes to market all of its services on one bill, he said.

Ameritech also has franchise agreements with central Ohio cities Upper Arlington and Dublin, and is negotiating with Columbus.

The company is in franchise talks with 30 other cities throughout the Midwest, including Chicago and the Cleveland suburbs of Berea, Brook Park, Middleburg Heights, Strongsville and Parma, Onak said.

Ameritech currently is not discussing deals with communities in the Akron and Canton areas, Onak said. Those areas are served mostly by Warner Cable of Akron, which has 15 franchises in the Akron-Canton area, said Warner spokesman Bill Jasso.

Ameritech said it targets cities for potential franchises based on such factors as consumers' computer usage, frequency of movie video rentals and disposable income, Onak said.

Ameritech is offering a programming package developed by Americast, its joint venture with The Walt Disney Company, BellSouth, GTE and SBC Communications.
