BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire CANNES, France, Tuesday, October 23rd 2012

In recognition of the relationship between two American icons, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, in association with Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), is launching a new ultra-premium expression in Travel Retail this October. Crafted from special “Sinatra barrels” the Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select is bottled at 90 proof and comes in a specially designed one-liter bottle. The premium package also includes a specially designed gift box and book telling the story of the legendary Jack Daniel’s and Frank Sinatra relationship. A Travel Retail exclusive, the suggested retail price for Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select will be determined market-to-market.

Commenting on the special Jack Daniel’s offering honoring his father, Frank Sinatra, Jr. said that “Dad would be very flattered by the association.

“This fine Tennessee Whiskey, or Old No. 7 as he referred to it, was a favorite part of my father’s life and he loved both sharing it with his friends and introducing it to new acquaintances. I’m very pleased to continue to be a part of the Jack Daniel’s family and feel the introduction of Sinatra Select is an appropriate tribute as we near my father’s 100th birthday in 2015,” said Sinatra, Jr.

According to Jim Perry, managing director for Brown-Forman Travel Retail the parent brand of Jack Daniel’s, the idea for a Jack Daniel’s premium whiskey to salute “Ol’ Blue Eyes” has been suggested for many years.

“It was common knowledge both within the entertainment industry and in the world of Jack Daniel’s that Frank was one of Jack’s biggest and most loyal fans. He often referred to his favorite whiskey as the ‘Nectar of the Gods.’ In discussing this special edition Jack Daniel’s, the Sinatra family responded with a great deal of enthusiasm. All Frank’s children were vocal and encouraging in their endorsement. We feel that Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select will quickly become a cherished item for your home bar and encourage folks to enjoy this superb whiskey,” Perry added.

On stages throughout the world from 1950s thru the 1990s, Sinatra would always offer a toast to his audience with a glass of Jack Daniel’s in his hand.

Hand selected by the Master Distiller Jeff Arnett, “Sinatra barrels” used to make the product were crafted to provide an extra full character and darker rich amber color by exposing the spirit to extra layers of toasted wood on the inner surface of the barrels. The extra rich barrels were mingled with classic Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey and bottled at 90 proof resulting in a character that is full of oak and spice notes with an exceedingly smooth vanilla finish. The smooth, bold character of the whiskey is meant to embody the smooth, bold character of the man.

In addition to Travel Retail, Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select will be available at the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 2013.

Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Selectwas introduced on October 23, 2012 at the Tax Free World Association meeting in Cannes, France. The news conference was attended by Frank Sinatra, Jr., who later performed at the launch event for the product honoring his father.

BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire SHANGHAI - Monday, October 22nd 2012

The world’s leading pulp and paper manufacturer Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) and China Business News, one of the top business publications in China, have jointly initiated a new corporate social responsibility initiative aiming to enhance awareness of personal hygiene and help cultivate healthier lifestyle habits among youths living in China’s rural areas. As part of the initiative, APP-China will collaborate with schools in rural regions to support and educate students on the proper use of paper products to maintain their hygiene and health.

The new joint initiative commences with a pilot program in Hainan province in China, following a two-month extensive study1 on the hygiene and lifestyle habits of rural school children in China, conducted by China Business News and the Guangdong College of Pharmacy2. Offering insight into the personal hygiene conditions of children living in China’s rural regions, the survey found that the practice of proper hygiene habits among rural students was far behind that of students residing in cities within the same age groups, emerging as a widespread problem resulting from the disparity of development in different regions of the country.

Results of the study indicated that the practice of basic personal hygiene habits was lacking among those surveyed, contributing to a mere 50% habit rate. Particularly, the findings suggest that 80% of the children surveyed rarely or had never used tissue paper for sanitary purposes at schools.

According to the study, these unhygienic habits are rife among children living in rural areas due to the absence of proper personal hygiene concepts, signifying the need for further educational efforts.

In light of these findings, APP-China has proactively joined hands with China Business News in launching the new corporate social responsibility program, spearheading efforts to promote awareness of personal hygiene and proper lifestyle habits among school children in rural areas as the basis for positive development in their lives.

Commenting on the program, Ms. Liu Fang, Deputy Director of China Business News’ CSR Division, expressed confidence in the new program. “We are delighted to collaborate with APP-China on this meaningful endeavor, which extends corporate social responsibility to the realm of education and providing guidance for our younger generation.”

To highlight the role of household paper use in maintaining personal hygiene, APP-China and its subsidiary Gold Hongye Paper have donated various sanitary paper products worth over 50,000 yuan (almost USD $8,000) to the local Yangpu Number One Elementary School for this semester, as the first step in an initiative that underlines APP-China’s corporate citizenship with combined offerings of its products and expertise.

To further emphasize the importance of the school environment and education in cultivating the best habits in children, experts from APP’s Hainan mill facility Jinhai Pulp & Paper collaborated with the school in a pilot initiative to give introductory classes on environmental protection, with the aim to instill in students concepts of good lifestyle and hygiene habits that contribute to protection of the environment. The mill also arranged a tour for students to visit its production facilities, enlightening them on the importance of paper as a precious resource.

“As an enterprise firmly committed to corporate citizenship and aiding local community development in China, APP will continue its strong efforts in rural regions to help our next generation foster appropriate and positive habits that will benefit their health and growth in the long run,” said Kevin Zhang, PR Director of APP-China.

As an ongoing and long-term initiative, APP-China will continue to engage different schools in China’s rural regions as partners in this CSR program, incorporating paper donations, enhancement of school facilities, student volunteer teams and mill visits to foster maximum awareness among students.

About APP-China

Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) is one of the world’s leading pulp and paper companies and is ranked one of the largest vertically-integrated pulp and paper producers in Asia. Since APP started investing in China in the early 1990s, it has over 20 pulp and paper mills in the form of subsidiaries or joint ventures, as well as forest plantations with a total area over 300,000 hectares. With over 39,200 employees, APP-China had a total production capability of 9.5 million tons in 2011. By the end of 2011, APP-China had spent RMB 6 billion (USD $937.5 million) in environmental protection facilities and RMB 600 million (USD $93.75 million) in various charitable causes and community development projects across the country. For more information, please visit www.app.com.cn.

1The survey was conducted on 395 elementary school students in Northern Guangdong province.

2The Guangdong College of Pharmacy is a public university based in Guangzhou, Guangdong province which offers courses in pharmaceutical sciences. The University was established in 1958 as the Guangdong provincial health department's advanced studies college.

Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) today reported third-quarter 2012 revenue of $10.61 billion versus $10.45 billion in the second quarter of 2012, and $9.55 billion in the third quarter of 2011.

Income from continuing operations attributable to Schlumberger, excluding charges and credits, was $1.44 billion—an increase of 3% sequentially and 10% year-on-year. Diluted earnings-per-share from continuing operations, excluding charges and credits, was $1.08 versus $1.05 in the previous quarter, and $0.96 in the third quarter of 2011.

Schlumberger recorded charges of $0.02 per share in each of the third and second quarters of 2012 and the third quarter of 2011.

Oilfield Services revenue of $10.61 billion increased 2% sequentially and 11% year-on-year. Oilfield Services pretax operating income of $2.14 billion increased 2% sequentially and 11% year-on-year.

Schlumberger CEO Paal Kibsgaard commented, “Our third-quarter results reflected steady international growth although performance in regional markets varied through activity mix and changes to project schedules. Key markets, both on land and offshore, continued to drive performance as international demand for reservoir characterization and drilling services more than offset weakness in the North America pressure pumping market.

Both Middle East & Asia and Europe/CIS/Africa Areas delivered strong results, while Latin America revenue was flat with the previous quarter due to operational delays, project mobilizations and changes in activity mix. In North America, a slow seasonal recovery in Canada, falling US land rig count, continued oversupply of hydraulic fracturing capacity, and the effects of Hurricane Isaac all impacted performance.

International pricing continued a steady upwards trend during the quarter, driven by higher sales of new technology and strong operational performance. Service capacity remained tight for Seismic, Wireline and Drilling & Measurements services, and we also saw signs of capacity tightening in our Well Testing business. Schlumberger Production Management continued to ramp-up operations on the Shushufindi project in Ecuador and the Carrizo field in Mexico, and we started mobilizing for the Panuco project, also in Mexico.

Among new Schlumberger technologies, HiWAY stimulation activity continued to grow, the first commercial IsoMetrix marine seismic acquisition was completed and we introduced several new and unique Wireline services during the quarter.

Against these results, there continues to be uncertainty surrounding the outlook for the global economy. Central bank interventions in the US and in Europe, together with signs of a managed slowdown in the Chinese economy, left estimates for future world GDP growth largely unchanged. At the same time, the balance of oil supply and demand continues to be tight, with continued production challenges in non-OPEC countries, and OPEC spare capacity remaining close to a five-year low. This overall landscape leads us to believe that oil prices will be supported around current levels although remaining subject to volatility.

We still expect our international activity to grow in excess of 10% in 2012. In North America on the other hand, the strength in Gulf of Mexico activity will continue to be challenged by weakness in the land hydraulic fracturing market and early signs of softening in the land coiled-tubing business.

In this market we will continue to maintain a relentless focus on the quality and efficiency of our execution. This, in combination with our balanced technology portfolio and unmatched international strength, creates an environment in which Schlumberger is very favorably placed to deliver superior financial results.”

BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire CHALFONT ST. GILES, England - Thursday, October 18th 2012

    The campaign reflects the healing power and international reach of music
    The company aims to strengthen connections and deliver its health prevention message to a broader audience

Today GE Healthcare announced the launch of ‘Give a Little Beat’, a musical initiative and a first in the healthcare industry, to connect people in the fight against breast cancer through the power of music and social media. By visiting www.givealittlebeat.com, users will be able to share and listen to songs from the online GE Healthcare’s Jukebox, powered by Spotify, the leading digital music service, in support of breast cancer patients and to raise awareness about the disease.

Much research has been done on the physical and emotional effects of music. According to the American Cancer Society, there is evidence that alongside conventional treatment, music therapy can help to reduce pain and relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It may also relieve stress and provide an overall sense of well-being. Some studies have found that music therapy can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.1,2

“We are conscious of the healing power of music and its universal reach, which cuts through geographical and cultural barriers. We strongly believe that music and social media are the best way to connect people in the fight against breast cancer and to spread the powerful message that early detection can save lives”, said Jeff DeMarrais, GE Healthcare's Chief Communications Officer.

GE Healthcare pioneers ‘Give a Little Beat’ campaign, an open invitation to submit a song or listen to any of the songs from the “Hope”, “Love”, “Party” and “Shout” playlists on GE Healthcare’s Jukebox. People can participate by visiting www.givealittlebeat.com or the ‘Give a Little Beat’ Facebook App. Songs will be also shared through Twitter, and other social media platforms, with the #BCMBeats hashtag.

This initiative supplements the recent campaign announced by GE Healthcare to mobilize thousands of GE employees to form 'Human Ribbons' and visually demonstrate the global fight against the disease during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It also reinforces the messages posted on GE’s Breast Cancer Mosaic, a dedicated site created to share stories from breast cancer survivors, family members and healthcare professionals to increase awareness around the disease and to inspire those who are going through a difficult time.

Come join us - GE Healthcare’s Jukebox is just getting started: the ‘Give a Little Beat’ for Breast Cancer campaign is the first of many inspiring initiatives powered by Spotify that the company will launch in the coming months.

BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire LONDON - Thursday, October 18th 2012

Lawyer biographies remain the most popular content on law firm websites in communicating expertise

LexisNexis® Legal & Professional (www.lexisnexis.com), a leading provider of content and technology solutions, today announced results from the latest LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell® study on how international B2B law firms are using their websites as part of their marketing programs.

Based on initial qualitative interviews conducted in April 2012 and an online, quantitative survey in July, the study “The Use of Websites in Law Firm Marketing” reflects the views of 209 law firms across six world regions (excluding the United States). Amongst all participants, offline tactics currently account for just over two-thirds of all marketing spend, compared to 38% for online – though many respondents expect this to change in the future as online methods become more widely adopted in their marketing programs.

Steve Corney, senior digital marketing manager at LexisNexis International, commented:“The study shows that the legal industry is finally recognizing the role and importance of online content in lead generation, alongside traditional offline techniques. The 38% of marketing budgets allocated to online tactics now brings the legal sector slightly above the market average of 36%.”*

As the table below illustrates, survey respondents across firms of all sizes do seem to be prioritizing their budget in online investment – reporting to allocate at least 3% of their marketing spend when developing a new website, and a further 1% on sourcing external support for the site once launched:

Size of legal practice
          

Small firms (1-20 lawyers)
          

Medium-sized firms (21-50 lawyers)
          

Larger firms (51+ lawyers)
    

Total annual marketing budget
          

Up to US$155,000
          

Up to US$775,000
          

Up to US$1.5 million (lower end)

Up to $7.5 million (higher end)
    

Website development budget (involving a major revamp)
          

Up to US$15,500 (10% of total budget)
          

Up to US$31,000 (4% of total budget)
          

In excess of US$46,500 (3 % of total budget)
    

Ongoing external support budget (annual)
          

Up to US$1,550 (1% of total budget)
          

Up to US$7,750 (1% of total budget)
          

Up to US$15,500 (1% of total budget)
    
                                          

Firms that responded to the survey perceive their website to be ‘very effective’ (34%) in helping to build their reputation and awareness of their brand. A disparity, however, lies in the role that their websites play to help generate new work. Here respondents are seemingly more ambivalent, with more than one third (36%) feeling that their website fails to sufficiently support lead generation – though this view was more prevalent amongst respondents from smaller law practices and firms that had not revamped their website for more than three years. On average, all firms surveyed tended to run their websites for two to three years before considering a re-design.

A quarter of all respondents report taking a formal approach to managing content on their website, with 25% (small, medium and large firms) using a content calendar to schedule regular updates, whilst the majority (66%) have yet to put this structure in place. When asked about the most popular content on their website, lawyer biographies are the most visited pages (85% of respondents), followed by information about practice area/sector expertise (52%) and thought leadership articles, case histories, etc. (50%).

The popularity of such content helps to explain why respondents also ranked online legal directories (61% ‘very’ and ‘somewhat’ effective) as the third most effective lead generation tactic, behind their website (74%) and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO, 62%). Adding relevant content about their lawyers, market expertise and thought leadership to online directories provides firms with further SEO benefits beyond their own website and helps to surface their content to a wider online audience to help prove credibility and generate new leads.

Whilst 71% of firms do take time to track how content on their website is used, many recognise that there is room for improvement in this area. Of these firms, only 11% report extensively using the available reporting tools and data to help measure effectiveness and return on investment, whilst 43% make little or no use of the data available.

Derek Benton, director of International Operations at Martindale-Hubbell, commented: “Technology is one of the factors that is changing the competitive landscape in the legal sector. It is positive to see how firms are using relevant content on their own website and third party sites to help produce leads more cost effectively, rather than rely only on offline channels. The challenge for marketers is to use the available reporting tools to monitor engagement and continually measure and improve the impact of online content to deliver the best return on investment.”

BusinessWire/ME-Newswire - ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (0763.Hong Kong /000063.Shenzhen), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, today announced, that according to the latest market share report from Infonetics research, ZTE leads the worldwide market for major fixed broadband terminals.

According to the report 2012-Infonetics-2Q12-Broadband CPE and Subscribers Market Forecast released by the research firm Infonetics in September, ZTE had the highest share of both overall sales and shipments, at 10.3% and 15.8% respectively, among major fixed broadband terminals vendors for the past rolling 4 quarters.

The report shows that over the period from H2 2011 to H1 2012, the worldwide overall sales of fixed broadband terminals rose 11% YoY to US$7.19 billion and the overall shipments increased 12% YoY to 175 million units.

“The rapid development of the Internet has gradually spread from enterprises and individuals to homes with technical innovations creating new demands and experiences for households,” said Zhu Yongxing, vice president of ZTE. “ZTE works closely with operators to provide products adapted for home users, including end-to-end service platforms, management platforms, bearer networks and home terminals. The products enable abundant applications and carrier-class QoS assurances, while offering a great user experience and minimizing the total cost of ownership and energy consumption of the solutions that are based on them.”

“Over the years, we have been customizing green, flexible and extensive home networking products to help our customers provide users with quality services including IPTV, high-definition video and high-speed Internet. This has allowed us to assist in operators’ transformation and also achieve our own growth,” added Mr. Yongxing.

As a leading fixed-network equipment supplier, ZTE has always maintained rapid growth in fixed broadband terminals and constantly won orders from top-tier operators. In China, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, in particular, ZTE holds a large market share.
