Join speakers Smartlogics Stuart Laurie and MarkLogic’s Fernando Mesa for a free webinar on March 14th 2012, where they will discuss how to apply Content Intelligence to the problems of Big Data – datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work with using on-hand database management tools – and the ensuing ‘Content Sprawl’ faced by enterprises, institutions and government departments today.

Entitled ‘Smartlogic and MarkLogic: The Logical Combination to Analyse Big Data’, the webinar will cover the following themes:

With more and more people using media-intensive applications online, it becomes even more critical to ensure a reliable wireless experience. People want to get online and stay on.

300 Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router (TD-W8961ND) $ 69.99 Product Available April 2012

The 3-in-1 device combines the functions of a high-speed DSL modem, a 4-Port 10/100Mbps NAT router, and a wireless N access point. TD-W8961ND is a high-speed solution that complies with wireless 802.11b/g/n. Featuring 11n technology, users will get up to 300Mbps wireless speed, surpassing 11g products and rivaling wired connections allowing for seamless use of bandwidth sensitive applications.

The Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router comes with an Easy Set-up Assistant that helps users set-up Internet connections, wireless network settings and security configurations step-by-step. The device also allows users to quickly establish a WPA secure connection at the push of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button located on the back of the product.

It also provides an advanced network security setting which utilizes SPI (stateful packet inspection) firewall to inspect the contents of incoming packets before they are allowed in, preventing potential attacks from across the Internet. For added convenience, it supports access control based on MAC addresses, IP addresses, domain names or applications, so that parents and network administrators can establish restricted access policies for children or staff.

150 Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router (TD-W8951ND) $ 49.99 Product Available April 2012

The TD-W8951ND Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router comes with the power of up to 150Mbps, which equates to nine times the speed and four times the range of traditional 11g products.

More women are becoming dedicated NFL fans, and recent statistics from the AP show nearly 44 percent of the NFL’s fan base is female. With the biggest game of the year around the corner, Party City knows whether they’re true “Pigskin Princesses” or “Casual Gridiron Gals,” it’s women who usually plan a Super Bowl party. America’s largest party specialty retailer wants everyone to party like a pro on game day with these simple, sporty touches and budget-friendly tips to make any Super Bowl party more fun!

CREATE A GRAND ENTRANCE FOR GUESTS

Transform the entryway into a field tunnel fit for any NFL superstars to run through by covering the sidewalk leading to the front door with a “green carpet” of turf. Enhance the look by lining the carpet with football-themed and NFL team-logo balloons anchored by megaphones. Greet guests with a front door wrapped in

Super Bowl pennant banners and football cutouts.

SERVE A WINNING GAMEDAY MENU

Next to the game, the food is the most important part of any Super Bowl party. A simple make-ahead buffet game plan ensures that the host doesn’t miss the game. Serve hearty buffet classics like hamburgers, ribs, wings and chili in chafing dishes to keep food hot for all four quarters.

Add team spirit to a tablescape by placing labeled miniature white footballs near dishes as clever buffet food labels. Less formal than menu cards, this small touch makes a big impression and clearly identifies each menu item.

Stock a FANtastic Super Bowl bar with football-inspired drinks, such as Bloody Hail Marys, Spiked Iced Tea and Wild Card Wine, or an assortment of wines for guests to choose as their favorite. Even beer bottles and soda cans come dressed for the party when embellished with referee and football cozies, which also make great party favors for guests.

OUTFIT GUESTS WITH PARTY FAN-WEAR

Go beyond team jerseys and apparel and hand out party fan-wear to get their game faces on. Pom-poms, megaphones and cowbells are great for cheering on the winning team.

Party fan-wear also does double duty when combined with other party supplies in creative ways. Lanyards and bead necklaces become table decorations when displayed in glass jars or containers in team colors, and team wristbands wrapped around drink glasses personalize drinkware.

Get the party started early by sending team logo buttons or tattoos with invitations.

REVEL IN THE RIVALRY WITH TEAM-LOGO PARTY SUPPLIES

Create some football frenzy by decorating with officially licensed NFL decorations, including tableware, pennant banners, flags, mini-helmets and more. Create separate fan zones by setting out plates for both Super Bowl teams to get everyone in the spirit of the biggest game of the year.

ENTERTAIN WITH FOOTBALL INSPIRED ACTIVITIES

Whether guests are more interested in the game, commercials or Madonna’s halftime show, make sure to provide a few football-inspired activities to keep everyone entertained. The hottest Super Bowl party games include football pools with prizes, competitive beer pong tournaments and classic finger football or the updated fiki football version.

With thousands of party supplies, including licensed NFL products for all 32 NFL teams — from serveware and decorations to tableware and fan-wear accessories — Party City can help any frugal fan stay within her budget and show off team pride in style. Party City is a one-stop shop with more than 700 store locations and an incredible online selection at PartyCity.com. Plus, the “Party Ideas” Center on PartyCity.com makes it easy to throw a party with a shopping check list and photo galleries showing Super Bowl party ideas and Super Bowl food ideas to ensure a party scores big with family and friends.
