NKO

LAVAL, Quebec, May 26, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Neptune Technologies & Bioressources Inc. ("Neptune") /quotes/comstock/15*!nept/quotes/nls/nept  (NEPT  1.68, +0.06, +3.70%)  /quotes/comstock/11v!e:ntb  (CA:NTB  1.85, +0.05, +2.78%)  is proud to announce that Neptune Krill Oil (NKO(R)) was awarded the prize for best product of 2010 during the 11th Congress of "Nutrition & Sante" in Belgium.

Independent Overall Evaluation

Neptune's client Nutrisan Nutraceuticals applied for this distinctive "Best Product" award, which involved an in-depth evaluation of NKO(R) by a scientific committee represented by renowned professors and doctors. The evaluation was based on the efficacy, value of innovation, biochemical composition and clinical studies supporting each product. Three finalists were chosen among 29 products and NKO(R) was awarded the laureate. Nutrisan Nutraceuticals has the right to promote NKO(R)'s prestigious prize for the following year. "This is yet another outstanding achievement awarded by a respectable independent organization that Neptune is proud of, further distinguishing NKO(R) from its krill oil competitors," said Dr. Wael Massrieh, Director of R&D at Neptune.

Navy Advancement

The United States Navy is trained for numerous scenarios, but one they are having trouble dealing with today is a server issue. The key online resource for the Navy Advancement Exam, http://advancement.cnet.navy.mil  (this URL is down) , has been down today. This website is key resource for Navy members to use to advance their knowledge for the exams. With the website not working, there is no definitive resource to use as study material. The website is also a key information site for the Navy.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this site failure is that it comes during Fleet Week. Fleet Week is an event held in New York City that started and Wednesday and runs through Sunday. It is a promotion for the Navy and Marine Corps. Different Navy demonstrations, contests and performances are held all throughout this week. Civilians attending this event get a first hand look at how the Navy works and the chance to tour some Naval ships. Fleet Week is one of the more important weekends each year for the Navy, a time to promote their branch of the armed forces.

There isn’t a worse time for this website to be down. Fleet Week sends a lot of traffic to this site. Let’s hope the nation’s finest Naval brains can come together and solve this problem!
