Jagged Peak's eCommerce System Used to Launch 2nd Online Store for Accessories Company RG Barry

RG Barry rolls out Foot Petals Web store, deploying Jagged Peak's EDGE platform for the second time in less than a year.

2011-09-16

TAMPA, FL, September 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Jagged Peak, Inc. (OTC BB: JGPK), a leading provider of enterprise-class eCommerce solutions and supply chain services announced today the successful launch of www.footpetals.com using the EDGE eCommerce platform to power the front-end website and order management. This is the second such site for the accessories company since January.

The EDGE platform is recognized as a best-of-breed eCommerce solution, and is used by many of the world's leading consumer products companies to deploy their web stores and optimize their supply chain operations. The EDGE platform contains all of the advanced functionality required to conduct multi-channel eCommerce, and employs complex demand-management rules to effectively route orders to improve customer service and reduce supply chain costs.

"Since we already use Jagged Peak's EDGE eCommerce platform, having deployed the Dearfoams web store earlier this year, we knew integrating our recent acquisition, Foot Petals, onto the same system just made good operational and business sense," says RG Barry Internet Manager Kathryn Milette. "EDGE enables us to flexibly self manage our front-end website and integrate our back-end systems using EDI. And, given our history with the EDGE platform, we could streamline internal processes, as well as leverage existing Dearfoams.com functionality to delight Foot Petals' online customers now and well into the future."

"We're very pleased RG Barry once again selected EDGE eCommerce platform to deploy the new Foot Petals Web property," says Jagged Peak's Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Vince Fabrizzi. "It's one thing to be selected once by a prominent consumer brand like Dearfoams, but to be the platform of choice again clearly underscores this client's regard for our platform's ease of use and integration capabilities into RG Barry's system."

Black white marriages increased rapidly since 1980s, study finds

2011-09-16

A new study of interracial marriages in the United States since the 1980s suggests that the racial boundary between blacks and whites continues to break down, but is not yet close to disappearing. The study, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, reveals that marriages between black and white populations have continued to increase while Latin and Hispanic Americans have turned to marrying their racial compatriots from newly arrived immigrant populations. Marriages between African Americans and whites increased rapidly between 1980 and 2008, outpacing the rate ...

Some memory complaints in the elderly may be warning signs of cognitive problems

2011-09-16

Older individuals' complaints about memory lapses such as having trouble remembering recent events may indicate that they are experiencing cognitive problems that are greater than typical age-related changes. These findings, which are published today in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, indicate that primary care clinicians, who are often the first to see patients who are worried about their memory, should be aware that such complaints might be indicative of something serious and warrant a further cognitive assessment. Because the number of U.S. adults ...

Starving cancer cells of cholesterol might offer a new way to treat brain tumors

2011-09-16

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study suggests that blocking cancer cells' access to cholesterol may offer a new strategy for treating glioblastoma, the most common and deadly form of brain cancer, and perhaps other malignancies. The potential treatment could be appropriate for tumors with a hyperactive PI3K signaling pathway, which accounts for up to 90 percent of glioblastomas cases. Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) and at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive ...

Targeting cholesterol to fight deadly brain cancers

2011-09-16

Blocking the uptake of large amounts of cholesterol into brain cancer cells could provide a new strategy to battle glioblastoma, one of the most deadly malignancies, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. The study, done in cells lines, mouse models and analysis of tissue from brain cancer patients, uncovered a novel mechanism by which the most commonly activated oncogene, the mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), overcomes normal cell regulatory mechanisms to feed large amounts of cholesterol to the brain cancer cells, said ...

Some like it hot -- European fish stocks changing with warming seas

2011-09-16

The first "big picture" study of the effects of rapidly rising temperatures in the northeast Atlantic Ocean shows that a major shift in fish stocks is already well underway. But it isn't all bad news. The research, published today (15th Sept.) in Current Biology, shows that some fishes' losses are other fishes' gain. The study led by Dr Steve Simpson of the University of Bristol in collaboration with researchers from eight other institutions, is the first to combine a suite of European datasets, which included more than 100 million fish, to explore how warming is affecting ...

From Star Wars to science fact: Tatooine-like planet discovered

2011-09-16

Although cold and gaseous rather than a desert world, the newfound planet Kepler-16b is still the closest astronomers have come to discovering Luke Skywalker's home world of Tatooine. Like Tatooine, Kepler-16b enjoys a double sunset as it circles a pair of stars approximately 200 light-years from Earth. It's not thought to harbor life, but its discovery demonstrates the diversity of planets in our galaxy. "Kepler-16b is the first confirmed, unambiguous example of a circumbinary planet - a planet orbiting not one, but two stars," said Josh Carter of the Harvard-Smithsonian ...
