FlightStats, the undisputed leader in flight information services, is proud to announce the list of airlines and airports that are finalists in the third annual FlightStats On-time Performance Service Awards. The OPS Awards recognizes airlines and airports around the world that achieve sustained operational excellence. Airlines are recognized for delivering the highest percentage of flights to their arrivals gates within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time, while airports are recognized for delivering the highest percentage of departures from the gate less than 15 minutes after the published scheduled departure time.
Now in its third year, the FlightStats On-time Performance Awards has grown in prestige, says Jeff Kennedy, the companys CEO. Since knowledgeable travelers base their air travel preferences upon the quality of operations and services, going to market as a recognized FlightStats on-time performance leader has become a valuable point of differentiation for both airlines and airports.
While on-time performance is vital to the passengers travel experience, airlines such as SAS also take a great amount of internal pride in achieving operational excellence. Were very pleased to once again be a nominee for the FlightStats On-time Performance Awards. All our employees, both on the ground and in the air, do their utmost every day to ensure that every flight meet our customers expectations. As Europes most punctual airline in both 2009 and 2010, we hope that SAS will also be the most punctual airline for 2011, says Rickard Gustafson, CEO, Scandinavian Airlines.
One new category has been added to the airline awards this year: arrival performance among major international airlines operated and codeshare flights. It recognizes the on-time performances of major international airlines that have a substantial amount of their flights operated by another airline (subsidiary, contractor, etc.), but are marketed (codeshared) under their brand. More and more, airlines are finding codesharing of flights is an effective means to expand route coverage. While the airline marketing the flight may not have direct control over the performance of the airline operating the flight, the travelers experience expectations are set by the brand on the ticket. says Mr. Kennedy.
The finalists are as follows:

Alii Tropical Hawaiian Flowers is pleased to announce new protea baskets and wreaths as part of its line of fresh Hawaiian flower assortments, wedding flowers, leis and other gifts. The wreaths are created from fresh Maui protea and are woven onto a grapevine backing at the farm where they are grown. Wreaths remain fresh for 7 to 10 days after arrival and can be dried thereafter. Wreaths can be used as both a hanging display and as centerpieces.
Protea baskets are made by arranging fresh cut flowers in a container for display. Containers are made from coconut husks, leaves or other materials. Protea become excellent dried flowers and the containers are reusable.
“Unlike most floral companies we only use Hawaiian grown flowers for our assortments and leis. So we are delighted to partner with a small, family farm on Maui that creates such beautiful arrangements,” said Frank MacMillan, owner of Alii Flowers.
Protea flowers grow profusely on the mountain slopes of upcountry Maui. Originating in Africa, protea adapted well to the climate of the island and are widely cultivated there. Varieties include king, mink and pincushion protea as well as banksia.

Kauai Hawaii (PRWEB) January 27, 2012
Bobzio.com announces the winner of the best value vacation rental for Kauai, Hawaii after user voting. Bobzio.com is a Cooperative of Holiday Home Owners providing a no cost option where holiday home owners, home swappers and vacationers can connect. There is zero cost for starting a property listing. The home swap system uses the same platform as the vacation rental system. It is possible to offer a holiday home as both a vacation rental and as a home swap. This is accomplished by checking the appropriate boxes when constructing a listing. A reservation calendar is free to all users and helps organize records and informs potential users the time periods available to rent or exchange. A phone number can be displayed by the home owner to facilitate connections with potential clients. There is an email contact option provided at the bottom of each Bobzio listing. Bobzio.com gives the user the option to search for exchanges and rentals based on Area Attractions. For example, if paragliding is an interest, a search can be performed and destinations with paragliding will be displayed. This is particularly convenient when arranging a home exchange & daily schedules. Soon the integration process will be completed with DepositGuard. DepositGuard gives owners the ability to accept credit card payments without fees and vacationers the peace of mind knowing their deposits are safeguarded.
Bobzio.com, a Cooperative of Vacation Home Owners, Home Exchangers and Service Providers is 100% free. Bobzio.com functions just like a farm cooperative where local farmers group together to leverage their buying power for the benefit of all members. Otherwise the farmer would be at the mercy of large Corporation’s power to set prices for services like Vacation Home Owners and Service Providers are now. All property owners and service providers with common marketing interests need to join the Bobzio.com marketing cooperative effort. If twenty thousand cooperative members signed in on a regular basis to the http://www.Bobzio.com website, then Bobzio.com would be positioned first to travelers searching for vacation rentals and services on google. This is important to minimize marketing costs and maximizing the market exposure of vacation homes collectively. Realistically a vacation home owner and service provider need only spend $ 25 a year for advertising if the Bobzio Vacation Property Co-op had 20,000 members logging in daily. Let’s get to work.
Bobzio.com has chosen Kauai Golfers Paradise as providing an exceptional value to the consumer and is voted Bobzios Best Value Vacation Rental in Kauai, Hawaii. Selection is based on the level of fun factor, costs, amenities and available activity bundles. Nominations for Bobzios Best Value Vacation Rental can be made by going to bobzio.com.

ActionPacked! Networks, a leading developer of intelligent software for managing Cisco quality-of-service (QoS), announced today that for a limited time, it will be giving away permanent licenses for its newest LiveAction Version 2.31 software with in-depth, real-time traffic flow visualizations plus the companys newest Medianet capabilities.
Many network engineers and IT departments are planning to use Cisco Medianet to help them manage and deliver high quality video and other media traffic on their networks, said ActionPacked! Networks CEO Dana Matsunaga. Our new free version of LiveAction makes it possible to begin using Cisco Medianet almost immediately without spending extra money on management solutions or mastering a new set of CLI commands. In addition, our new graphical Mediatrace visualizations will enable network engineers to literally see rich media traffic over live topology views of their networks, with performance metrics displayed for each hop along the way.
As a flow monitoring tool, the free version of LiveAction tracks and graphically displays NetFlow, J-Flow and sFlow paths and characteristics over a live network topology view that the software generates automatically. Users can click on devices and interfaces for more detailed information. As a tool for Cisco Medianet, the software also collects and displays detailed Medianet performance monitoring information and provides the industrys first live topology presentation of Mediatrace for Cisco devices.
ActionPacked! is currently offering the free, three-device special edition of LiveAction through March 31, 2012 to qualified IT departments in the United States and Canada. The software works with most devices that support NetFlow, JFlow and s-Flow. To use LiveActions Medianet capabilities, the Cisco devices must also be Medianet-capable and have IOS version 15.1 (3) T installed.
No purchase is required although users can buy upgrades to support networks with up to 200 devices and to add additional features such as Cisco QoS monitoring and policy configuration, historical reporting, routing monitoring and configuration, and IP SLA testing. LiveActions optional IP SLA feature also includes a Medianet IP SLA VO function to manage testing of a wide variety of video operations using realistic synthetic video traffic generated by the Cisco devices themselves.
Details, download links, and terms and conditions for this offer will be provided on the ActionPacked! web site.
