The Roparun is the longest non-stop relay race in the world, covering approximately 530 KM between Rotterdam and Paris. The aim of this charity event is to raise funds for cancer-diagnosed patients and took place this year between 11th and 13th June 2011. This event is not only unique in its length, but also with its goal carrying the motto: “Aiming to add life to the days that remain, when no more days can be added to life”.

Sophos to Acquire Astaro to Meet Demand for Complete, Layered Security Protection
Sophos, a global security leader, today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Astaro, a privately held provider of network security solutions, headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts, USA and Karlsruhe, Germany. Businesses today face unprecedented challenges in protecting users and IT infrastructure from escalating complex security threats, especially those brought on by more mobile, roaming users, new application protocols, and distributed networks. There is a widening security gap for companies given the new rules by which users, businesses and IT operate and this acquisition answers unmet customer needs for better security coordination and effectiveness between users, applications and IT infrastructure.
