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.

HOUSTON - Monday, October 22nd 2012
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.”

One of the paradoxes of life is that being "normal" or
"reasonable" often means settling for ordinary results,
while success requires that we be different and sometimes,
uncomfortable. By definition, high achievers are not
"average" people!
All of us have been pressured to conform at one time or
another. We've been told to "sit still" in school, to "stop
interrupting" or "not make a scene." We've been criticized
for dressing, speaking, acting or being "different." The
not-so-subtle pressures to accept conventional norms are
powerful. "To get along, you have to go along."
Well. Madame Currie, Florence Nightingale, Helen Keller,
Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Oprah Winfrey are not
admired because they were "average" people! Thomas
Jefferson, Thomas Edison, Charles Lindbergh, Franklin
Roosevelt and Bill Gates were not "conventional" people.
Abraham Lincoln is widely regarded as the greatest American
president, yet the thing he was most known for among his
friends was his obnoxious refusal to quit running for
office, even after he lost thirty-two elections! That is
definitely NOT normal!
One of the things that has made America great is their love of
individuality. Americans have always had a healthy respect for their
"mad inventors." The Wright brothers thought they could fly!
Henry Ford thought he could put a car in every garage. Ben
Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm (didn't his mother
tell him to come in out of the rain?). Mary Kay thought she
could make a living selling make-up, while Mrs. Field tried
to support her family selling cookies! That's just crazy!
Now, we need to tell the truth here. A lot of crazy ideas
really are. . .crazy. We've all had brilliant ideas in the
middle of the night, only to find in the clear light of day
they weren't worth pursuing. I've made many fortunes while
taking my shower, only to find them going down the drain
when I tried to tell my partners about them. Just because an
idea is weird doesn't mean it's wonderful.
But many great ideas (and the fortunes) have been lost
because the genius who thought it up was shy. Or lacked
courage. Or was intimidated by someone's comment that, "You
can't do that!"
All great ideas are crazy before they become brilliant.
Alexander Bell thought he could talk over copper wires, and
even worse, Marconi thought he could send messages through
thin air! When David Sarnoff wanted to launch the first
radio network (now NBC), one investor ridiculed him by
asking, "Who would pay to send a message to no one in
particular?" Jules Verne thought people might one day travel
under the ocean or, even more ridiculous, fly in outer
space. How crazy was that!?
If you can read this, you are a genius. You have thousands
of wonderful, creative, brilliant ideas--most of which
you've never pursued. And that's a shame.
Success is not achieved by being "ordinary." Rather, success
is the predictable result of following your own path and
trusting your own instincts, whether or not your neighbors
understand.
One of my heroes, Henry Thoreau, recommended "march to beat
of your own drummer."
Franklin Roosevelt was in a wheelchair, and who ever heard
of a cripple running for President? Barbra Streisand wasn't
"pretty enough" to be a star, and Elvis was so provocative
he was banned in communities across the country. Bill Gates
dropped out of Harvard to "write code." Steve Jobs was not
an easy guy to be around. And who would have thought a bi-
racial kid from Indonesia could become President?
To achieve your unique version of success, follow your
heart. Yes, you'll want to learn from others. Yes, you'll
want to obey the law and applicable regulations, but aside
from those things, you become great by being exactly and
uniquely yourself.
This is a call for more eccentrics, more individuals, more
creative, unrepentant adventurers. Go where your heart and
your instincts lead you. Instead of following the "normal"
highway, blaze a new path and leave a trail for others to
follow.

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.”

Indah Kiat Tangerang (IKT) Mill Receives ‘Advanced’ Rating in Independent Assessment
BusinessWire/ME-Newswire - Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) has received an Advanced level rating in SGS’s independent assessment for ISO 26000 social responsibility standards, making it the first in its sector in Asia-Pacific to receive this recognition from leading independent global industry auditor Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).
ISO 26000 is a set of globally recognized best-practice guidelines on organisational governance, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, community involvement and development. IKT achieved a level four verification, out of a possible five, giving it an Advanced status. The assessment is based on the SGS Performance Standard on ISO 26000.
“The objective of the SGS Performance ISO 26000 method is to identify how organizations can improve their performance in various areas of social responsibility. We are pleased to see that a corporation such as APP has chosen our method, and values continuous improvement, demonstrating commitment to internal and external stakeholders. Benchmarks and best practices in sustainable fields were provided to APP to enable a path of ongoing improvement and evaluation of performance," stated Mr. Guy Escarfail, Managing Director, SGS Indonesia.
This new Advanced designation compliments the APP Sustainability Roadmap Vision 2020 launched on June 5th. The Roadmap details the company’s path forward towards social and environmental best practices in sustainability. ISO 26000 guidelines align with the goals of the sustainability roadmap including human rights, employee welfare, and community empowerment.
Ms. Aida Greenbury, Managing Director Sustainability & Stakeholder Engagement, APP, welcomed the recognition and pledged to extend the program: “APP strives to be the responsible global leader in the pulp and paper industry. The ISO 26000 standard is only a first step toward a bigger commitment of responsible business practices. The next step is to replicate the successful program in other mills, and we expect them to be eligible for independent verification as early as 2013.”
“As a growing corporation operating in a developing country, sustainable development is a pillar of our operations. We’ve adopted the ISO 26000 guidelines to ensure the integration of socially responsible behaviour and the development of sustainable relationships with many members of our community such as customers, employees, NGOs and business partners,” she added.
The mill has also achieved various certifications including ISO 9001 for Quality Management System and ISO 14001 for Environmental Management System. IKT was also awarded the first ISO 14001 in Indonesia, in 1996.

BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Tuesday, October 16th 2012
Olfactor Labs’ new compound can save lives; company files for new patent
Olfactor Laboratories, Inc. has advanced a world-class technology that could make mosquito bites a thing of the past and is preparing to take that technology to market as early as 2013.
Following a two-year intensive collaboration with the University of California, Riverside, and a multinational pest control company, Olfactor announced its chemical technology can actually modify a mosquito’s biting behavior. This is a potential breakthrough in the battle against mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and the West Nile virus.
Company scientists have assembled a blend of compounds which can be delivered spatially, rather than requiring that they be applied to skin, which can substantially reduce contact between mosquitoes and humans. The chemical technology disrupts the mosquito’s ability to detect carbon dioxide, which is how mosquitoes detect a blood meal such as that of a human.
“Not being able to recognize carbon dioxide greatly limits a mosquito’s ability to locate and feed on its victim,” said Steve Abbott, President of Olfactor Laboratories. “With our technology, the human can essentially become invisible to the mosquito. The results of our research have the potential to fight several deadly mosquito-borne diseases, which are estimated to endanger a significant number of the world’s population,” Abbott stated. “Not only can such terrible diseases be reduced, but life can be made more enjoyable for everyone else who loves the outdoors, but just hates mosquito bites,” said Abbott.
The Olfactor technology has been recently submitted for patent approval and no other company is believed to possess this unique receptor-blocking-stimulating technology. This technology can be used to not only repel mosquitoes, but also to pull them away from populated areas, where they can be destroyed more effectively. This makes it a central part of a “Push/Pull” control strategy. “Our technology will be extremely valuable to world governments, but also travelers, outdoorsmen, and anyone else who simply objects to the bite of a mosquito. Now a scourge for millennia will be reduced, and we welcome inquiries for collaboration from governments and commercial organizations worldwide,” said Amro Albanna, CEO of Innovation Economy, a key initial incubator and partner of Olfactor Labs.
