Free Guide to Spread Betting Renishaw Plc Shares Following Q3 Results

LONDON, May 16, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Use our free guide to find out how you can spread bet shares
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting ] of Gloucestershire-based engineering company
Renishaw PLC, following the announcement of their third quarter results.

    Renishaw Share Price Climbs 11%

    Leading the gains on the London Stock Exchange this morning (15 May), Renishaw PLC
climbed 11.86% by 9:44 BST.

    This boost followed the release of the firm's third quarter results for the period
ending 31 March 2012; showing a revenue for the first 13 weeks of the year to be GBP81.6
million - 4% up on the GBP78.4 million generated over the same period in 2011.

    You can read more spread betting articles
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/article.aspx ] through City Index.

    How to Spread Bet the Renishaw DFT

    For those investors looking to spread bet shares - they can do so with City Index
through their professional trading platform which is available both online and on your
mobile.

    With a City Index spread betting account
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/what-is-spread-betting.aspx ], you can take a
position on the future price movement of over 12,000 financial instruments, including
shares such as Renishaw PLC.

    The City Index Renishaw DFT represents the underlying instrument (Renishaw PLC) and
offers you a spread price that's derived from the price of the underlying instrument.

    For example, as the market opened this morning - let us say that the City Index
Renishaw DFT was available at a spread of 1380/1388. This is the sell and buy price.

    Going Long on the Renishaw DFT

    As the share price of Renishaw Plc rose this morning, investors decided to go long and
buy shares on the Renishaw DFT market through City Index [http://www.cityindex.co.uk ].

    They did this because they expected that market to rise higher. Therefore, if you go
long and buy with spread betting - you can net a tax-free* profit for each point rise in
an instrument's price, for example Renishaw shares in this case. However, you will also
net a loss for each point fall in that price.

    As an example, say you decided to go long and buy at 1388 for a stake of GBP10 per
point. This means that for every point the underlying instrument's share price rose, you
would net a tax-free* profit of GBP10. As mentioned above - if it went against your
position and fell, you would net a loss of GBP10 per point.

    Let us say that having watched the market rise for an hour; you decide you want to
close your trade.

    The market is now available at a spread of 1527/1535 - it's sell and buy price.

    In order to cash in your profits, you sell back your shares at 1527.

    As a result, you net a tax-free profit of GBP1390, i.e. (1527-1388) x GBP10 = GBP1390.

    Understand Leverage & Risk

    It is imperative that you understand the risks
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/how-to-manage-risk.aspx ] involved before you
start spread betting.

    As a leveraged product
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/spread-betting-features.aspx ], spread betting
means you control a much larger position than your deposit would normally allow you to
trade in the underlying market.

    The advantage of this is that your winning trades can return much greater profits.
However, the main risk is that your losses can be magnified in exactly the same way as
your profits can be.

    This means that risk management should play a crucial role in your trading strategy.

    Using the example above, let us consider what happens when the market moves against
your position.

    So, you have gone long on the Renishaw DFT for a GBP10 stake.

    However, the market moves against you and begins to fall. You decide to cash in your
profits to avoid further loss.

    The market is now available at a spread of 1249/1257.

    You sell back at 1249 - representing a 139 point decline and a GBP1390 loss, i.e.
(1388-1249) x GBP10

Bloomberg BNA Webinar Underscores Movement of States to Tax New Technologies, At-Home Work Arrangements, and Social Coupon Transactions

ARLINGTON, Va., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An annual Bloomberg BNA survey of state tax departments released this month asks senior state tax officials in all 50 states how their jurisdictions are taxing the new technologies and types of transactions that continue to emerge as the U.S. economy shifts from the bricks and mortar of Main Street to the web-based world, which operates mostly independent of state or local borders. The recent Survey findings will be presented in a new Bloomberg BNA webinar, Cloudy with a Chance of Nexus: Analyzing Bloomberg BNA's 2012 Survey of State Tax Departments on May 17, 2012.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120110/DC33627LOGO)

States once believed that a corporation needed a physical presence within their borders before it could be subject to an income-based tax. But new technologies, such as cloud computing, and new transactions such as Groupon and LivingSocial, are challenging the parameters of most states' tax codes, which either have not addressed how these technologies and transactions will be taxed, or do so under outdated provisions.

What constitutes a taxable "economic presence?"

The Bloomberg BNA 2012 State Tax Department Survey identifies a number of different scenarios that can trigger income tax nexus in different states:

    --  Sixteen states said having a website on a server physically located
        within their jurisdiction will trigger income tax nexus.
    --  Having a substantial number of customers with billing addresses in the
        state? Fourteen states said yes. That would trigger nexus for the firm.
    --  Thirteen states would apply sales and use tax to fees paid by in-state
        customers to remotely access canned or prewritten software that is
        hosted on a web server.
    --  Nearly every state agreed that social media coupon companies, such as
        Groupon or LivingSocial, are not liable for taxes when their coupons are
        redeemed at in-state retailers or restaurants. But the states were very
        much divided on the question of whether sales taxes, paid by the end
        user, should be assessed on the full or the discounted price of the
        product or service.
    --  All but six jurisdictions tax an out-of-state employer that permits an
        employee to telecommute from a home within their borders.
    --  Twenty-three states said nexus would arise for reimbursing sales staff
        for the costs of maintaining an in-home office.
    --  Job fairs or other recruitment activities would trigger income tax nexus
        in 21 states.
    --  Thirty-six states said nexus would arise from having employees hire,
        supervise, or train other employees within their borders.
Cloudy with a Chance of Nexus: Analyzing Bloomberg BNA's 2012 Survey of State Tax Departments takes place May 17, 2012 from 12:30 p.m.- 2:00 p.m., (ET).

EEStor Provides a Progress Update on the Development of its Electrical Energy Storage Units

CEDAR PARK, Texas, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EEStor Inc. ("EEStor") announced today that it is providing an update on the progress of its ultra-capacitor based energy storage technology. 

EEStor has been working on the development of single layer Electrical Energy Storage Units (EESUs) as a step toward full commercial units.  The single layers are generally around 20 microns in thickness with an area of 0.25 inches square.  EEStor has successfully demonstrated a process that yields layers that can handle an operating voltage in excess of 3500 volts, have a dc resistance of greater than 700 terra ohms, and a dissipation factor of 0.005.  The process of manufacturing the layers has evolved as EEStor has worked on improving the reliability of the layers.  EEStor has recently focused its efforts on elimination of voids within the layers to improve the energy storage capabilities of the EESUs.   EEStor has recently made major progress in that it is now successfully producing layers which tests indicate are void free.

The layers now being produced have very small internal self-discharge and crossover losses.  These layers have been cycle tested by EEStor and have achieved over 1 million full cycles at a rate of less than 30 seconds per cycle.  Each cycle consisted of charging to 3500 volts followed by discharging to zero volts.  The EESU layers have better self-discharge characteristics and lower losses in the charge/discharge cycles than other known competitive energy storage technologies.  Improvements have been made in the film morphology and fabrication requirements to facilitate the use of automated manufacturing.  However, the most recently produced versions of the EESU layers have been tested by EEStor and in EEStor's opinion do not yet achieve the level of permittivity necessary for commercial production. EEStor is now working on improvements in the film morphology which it believes will allow it to significantly increase the permittivity and energy storage capabilities of the layers. 

The performance of the EESU layers has not been independently tested.  Once EEStor has improved the permittivity of the EESU layers, it will commence third party testing and certification.  The third party results will lead to a detailed analysis of the technology's performance.  Following independent certification of layers, EEStor intends to build multiple layer EESUs to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology.  EEStor has been developing production systems that have a level of automation and throughput capability that EEStor believes can be improved and scaled quickly. 

About EEStor Inc.
Headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas, EEStor Inc. is dedicated to the design, development, and manufacture of high-density energy storage devices. Utilizing revolutionary ultra-capacitor architecture and environmentally friendly materials, the EEStor technology will compete against existing battery technologies.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements," including statements related to making major progress, working on improvements which will allow EEStor to significantly increase the permittivity and energy storage capabilities of the layers, intending to build multiple layer EESUs to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology and developing systems that have a level of automation and throughput capability that can be improved and scaled quickly. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk of development or production delays, the risk that the technology or devices may not perform as expected, component or raw materials delays or shortages, the ability to effectively manage operating expenses and manufacturing operations and the ability to maintain or raise sufficient capital to fund current development and production goals. EEStor's actual results may differ materially from the expected results in this release.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. EEStor does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after this press release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Morrison & Foerster and 451 Research Launch New "M&A Leaders Survey" Covering Tech-Sector Deals

- Despite slow first quarter, tech companies expect 2012 to outpace 2011 in deal spending

- High valuations, sharp competition and macro-economic uncertainty remain a drag on M&A activity

- Executing on long-term growth plans and filling in product/service portfolios are strongest deal drivers

NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tech-sector mergers and acquisitions were noticeably down in the first quarter of 2012. But despite the sluggish start, many top technology companies expect M&A activity to accelerate during the rest of the year, as businesses expand product and service portfolios and execute on long-term growth plans.

Those are among the key findings from a new survey of tech-sector dealmakers launched by Morrison & Foerster, a leading global law firm, and 451 Research, the research division of prominent technology market intelligence firm 451 Group.

The results of the new MoFo/451 Research M&A Leaders Survey are based on a broad sampling of CEOs, CFOs and in-house counsel, venture capital and private equity firms, and investment bankers and outside lawyers, conducted in late March and April. More than 300 deal professionals and business leaders participated in the survey. Respondents represented several industry sectors, with the largest group of corporate respondents coming from information technology companies.

Morrison & Foerster and 451 Research intend to provide findings and analysis from the survey in several releases and programs in the near future. Here are a number of the key findings:

1. Deal Activity on the Rise? - Slightly more than half of the respondents (52%) said they've seen more deal activity during the past six months than during the same period in 2011 or 2010. Looking ahead, a healthy 59% expect 2012 to end with a greater volume of done deals than 2011. In contrast, only 8% project their deal total will be lower this year than last. The continued activity reflects both the potential for deal volume to rebound, as well as the increasing amount of work being put into individual deals as participants seek to increase certainty and returns from their investments.

2. Key Transaction Drivers - Respondents had strong views as to the factors most likely to propel M&A activity the rest of this year. Chief among them: delivering on long-term growth (87%) and filling in existing product and service portfolios (83%), followed by entering new geographic markets (43%) and diversifying lines of business (42%). A smaller group (29%) said they're on the prowl opportunistically to take advantage of attractive prices of target companies.

3. Patents Take Back Seat - Despite a recent spate of patent transactions involving major players such as Google-Motorola Mobility and Facebook-Microsoft/AOL, only 20% of respondents said that they regard protecting IP rights as a strong driver for M&A transactions. Nearly half of respondents (47%) said that patents don't play a significant role in their acquisitions. This surprise finding suggests that while some big companies are making aggressive plays for IP assets for both offensive and defensive purposes, such moves appear to be limited to certain industries like mobile devices and digital printing.

4. Deal Drags - Asked to account for the decrease in spending on mergers and acquisitions thus far in 2012, respondents cited doubts about the sustainability of the U.S. economic recovery and concerns over the European debt crisis as the two most important factors. A smaller number noted the uncertainty surrounding this year's presidential election.

5. Prices: Which Way Is Up? - While many would-be acquirers see current valuations as inflated, they're not holding their breath waiting for prices to come down, at least when it comes to private acquisitions. Fewer than 10% of survey respondents said they expect to see a decline in private company valuations in 2012, while nearly half (47%) predicted valuations would stay about the same as last year, and more than 40% said private company prices would actually increase. The continued availability of the IPO market as an alternative to a sale is one factor giving private companies additional negotiating leverage and confidence.

The newly issued M&A Leaders Survey is the first in a planned series of biannual reports jointly issued by Morrison & Foerster, one of the country's top legal advisors in M&A, and 451 Research, a leading provider of market intelligence and analysis for the tech industry.

"We're excited to team with 451 Research to produce our first M&A Leaders Survey, which is designed to provide insight into current deal drivers - as well as deal inhibitors - in M&A, particularly in the tech sector," said MoFo partner Robert Townsend, who co-chairs the firm's Global M&A Practice. Mr. Townsend has been at the center of some of the largest tech deals of the past several years, including advising Intel in its $7.7 billion acquisition of Internet security leader McAfee Systems, its follow-on $1.4 billion purchase of Infineon's wireless division, and the $3.3 billion stock-for-stock merger between Lam Research and Novellus.

"We hope the insight and intelligence gleaned from our survey will be a big help to both company insiders and their advisors in navigating the strategic acquisition market," he added. "It will be interesting to see how attitudes evolve in our next survey, particularly in the wake of the presidential election, and the continuing economic stress in Europe."

Brenon Daly, director of research for M&A at 451 Research in San Francisco, said of the survey: "We wanted to offer tech companies and dealmakers actionable information from their peers on the M&A landscape. We hope our findings will serve as an important benchmark that can enhance their real-time decision making as they consider embarking on major transactions. We're pleased to be partnering with Morrison & Foerster on this survey of thought leaders."

Here are other noteworthy findings from the survey:

6. Sticking Close to Home - Despite a near-constant buzz about capturing China and other overseas markets, would-be acquirers appear to be focused on deals closer to home. Over 60% of respondents said that their potential acquisition targets are either wholly based in the U.S. or largely so. Only 12% of executives said that their M&A targets are either mostly or entirely based outside the U.S. A quarter said their deals are evenly split between domestic and foreign targets. Interestingly, 11% said they could adequately meet international needs by acquiring U.S. firms with global operations and growth prospects.

7. Cross-Border Challenges - Companies that considered, but ultimately didn't pursue, cross-border acquisitions pointed to a number of challenges. The #1 stop sign was concern over integration risks, a concession to the practical hazards of combining companies in wholly different markets. Other major factors were concerns over diligence and transaction risk and lack of visibility into overseas markets.

8. Competition for U.S. Targets From Abroad - Conversely, respondents believe that more acquirers from abroad are joining the hunt for U.S. domestic targets. More than a quarter of respondents reported that they already face significant competition from overseas buyers, and that they expect that competition to increase. Just under half of the respondents (49%) said that while they currently don't have to fend off overseas acquirers, they believe the number of foreign buyers vying for U.S. companies is likely to rise.

9. The Inside View on Earnouts - Respondents had a surprisingly favorable (or at least grudgingly practical) view of earnouts as an acquisition technique. More than 80% said their company (or their client company) included earnout clauses in M&A agreements during the past two years. Among that group, over 30% reported that they've used earn-out clauses in over one-half of their transactions over that period.

    --  Earnout Metrics: As for which yardsticks work best for measuring
        earnout-related performance, nearly half of respondents pointed to
        achievement of revenue targets, while roughly one-fourth cited achieving
        profitability goals.
    --  A Recipe for Conflict?: Almost three-quarters of those who've used
        earnouts said such clauses have led to subsequent disputes or
        litigation; nearly one-fifth of respondents estimated there had been
        post-deal conflict over earnouts up to half of the time. An unlucky 10%
        of participants said that the use of earnouts had led to disputes or
        lawsuits more than 75% of the time.
    --  Earnout Alternatives - Asked which other mechanisms might work for
        closing valuation gaps, respondents cited joint ventures, licensing
        agreements, and use of buyer or seller debt as viable alternatives.

Azealia Banks' Debut EP, 1991, Out Digitally May 29 With Physical Release To Follow June 12

"212" Video Nets More Than 15 Million Views

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Interscope/Polydor recording artist Azealia Banks will release her EP 1991 digitally on May 29 with a physical version to follow on June 12.

Banks, the 20-year-old rapper/singer from Harlem, topped NME's Cool List and ranked in the Top 3 of the BBC Sounds of 2012 poll.

"What's fresh about Banks is how she combines audacious charisma with lyrical naughtiness and genre hopscotching," said Interview while V Magazine observed: "Her rapid-fire, crystalline raps are astounding in their elasticity, punctuated with clever puns, one-liners, and taunting, confrontational raunch."

Banks' video for "212 (featuring Lazy Jay)" already has more than 15 million views.You can check it out at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Jv9fNPjgk

SPIN called "212" a "dizzyingly addictive throwdown" while W noted: "when she's not spewing taunts, she's singing with all the depth and prowess of an R&B star." "'212' works because its popcraft and its shock tactics are each other's Trojan horses -- concentrate on one and the other sneaks up on you," said Pitchfork.com. "But the more you dig into the song, the more you can hear details and decisions that suggest a scary degree of pop talent."

She is currently recording her full-length debut album, which is due out in the fall.

In addition to highlighting their curated collection of cosmetics, each year they'll use their invaluable beauty knowledge to vote in the Best of Blush Beauty Awards.

Even more exciting for blush.com customers and Fowler followers is the upcoming launch of their cosmetic line, Skylark by Elle and Blair. The debut collection will be released in September 2012 exclusively on blush.com and will coincide with the release of their first novel, Beneath the Glitter, which will be published by St. Martin Press. Skylark by Elle and Blair will release two lip glosses inspired by the novel's main characters, Sophia and Ava London. The line will continually expand with new products added seasonally.

"We're so excited to bring Skylark by Elle and Blair to life," Elle said. "We have been dreaming this up for quite some time and could not have asked for a better partner. Blush.com is the perfect place for Skylark to live," added Blair.

As a sister website of DermStore.com, blush.com is part of a long legacy built upon strong brand relationships. Both sites are 100% authorized to sell each and every one of the products offered, a fact that ensures a safe destination in which to fulfill beauty needs.

Lightside Launches Groundbreaking 'Journey of Jesus: The Calling' On Facebook

May 15's Game Releases Offer a Study in Dark and Light: Diablo III and Journey of Jesus

LightsideGames.com; Facebook.com/JourneyOfJesus

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Journey of Jesus: The Calling--the first-ever video game based on Jesus--launches today from Lightside Games, makers of the popular Journey of Moses.  Interestingly, also launching today: Diablo III, the newest installment of a game series built around battles with demonic creatures, which debuted in 1996 with the tagline: "All hell breaks loose."

"Both games immerse the player, and you are what you eat," Brent Dusing, CEO of Lightside games said.  "While one game goes one direction, Journey of Jesus: The Calling players walk in the Messiah's steps, in an authentic experience of Israel in Christ's time."

Online social gaming currently attracts 300 million players worldwide.  Journey of Jesus: The Calling enters the stage with high-quality graphics, music, game play and the latest social features.  New players log on to Facebook and type Journey of Jesus: The Calling into the search bar. Following simple registration steps, at no cost, players begin to choose paths, explore intricate and intriguing game spaces, search for items and artifacts; overcome obstacles; and brush with the era's politics, religious landscape, history and everyday life.

Christian leaders have praise for Journey of Jesus: The Calling:

    --  Darrell Bock, Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas
        Theological Seminary:  "Why would a theologian endorse a social gaming
        game? Because 300 Million people weekly log on to social games and
        because Journey of Jesus: The Calling takes players closer to the life
        of Christ in a fun, reflective and entertaining way."
    --  Pastor Jack Hayford, Jack Hayford Ministries: "I wouldn't have thought a
        game could do so much to remind us that Jesus walked this earth of ours,
        involved himself with real people and lived with both life's daily-ness
        and its dramas. Journey of Jesus: The Calling is marvelous because it's
        more than a game."
Demand for biblically based social gaming became evident in Lightside's Journey of Moses, which launched last summer and has drawn more than 2 million players. And while hundreds of millions worldwide play social games, Journey of Jesus: The Calling is the first invitation to fun new faith conversations in the gaming world.

"Players want a game that's more than a game; we know that well," Dusing said.  "One way we keep fun and interest high is to release new chapters--new ideas and information and challenges--by the week."

Magic Partition Recovery Introduces Content-Aware Analysis, Provides Complete Data Recovery

KIEV, Ukraine, May 15, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    East Imperial Soft updates Magic Partition Recovery, its flagship disk and data
recovery tool, with content-aware analysis. Content-aware analysis thoroughly analyzes the
entire hard drive, collecting information about files, folders and system bits. Collected
information is then used to recover files that would be otherwise unrecoverable, re-create
damaged partition tables and rebuild file systems and disk system structures. The addition
of content-aware analysis makes Magic Partition Recovery one of the most competent data
recovery tools on the market.

    About Magic Partition Recovery

    Magic Partition Recovery is an all-in-one, fully automated disk and data recovery
solution. It can handle most types of jobs related to data recovery, performing simple
tasks such as unerase or recovering data wiped from the Recycle Bin. It can also handle
complex jobs such as recovering lost information from inaccessible disks, rebuilding
corrupted partitions and recreating damaged and overwritten file system records.

    About SSD Recovery

    General consensus among data recovery professionals is that SSD drives are hardly if
ever recoverable. SSD's store data in a very different manner compared to magnetic hard
drives. The use of the TRIM command effectively destroys information deleted from
TRIM-enabled SSD drives. While mostly true, exceptions do exist. The destructive TRIM
command is not issued if the disk gets corrupted or inaccessible because of logical damage
as opposed to deliberate deleting or formatting the disk. As a result, Magic Partition
Recovery can often recover information from corrupted SSD drives even if they appear
completely inaccessible.

    Compatibility

    Magic Partition Recovery recovers information from all types of healthy, formatted,
corrupted and inaccessible disks, and supports all current brands and models of magnetic
and solid-state storage media. The tool can recover hard drives, SSD drives, memory cards,
USB flash drives and removable disks. Magic Partition Recovery supports all versions of
FAT and NTFS, and runs in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 2003
and 2008 Server.

    About East Imperial Soft

    Founded in 2002, East Imperial Soft develops a wide range of data recovery tools for
Microsoft Windows users. The company's wide range of recovery tools covers the needs of
all types of users from complete computer novices to businesses and professionals doing
data recovery

Girl Scouts of the USA Moves Commerce to the Cloud With NetSuite

World's Largest Organization for Girls Replaces On-Premise Applications with NetSuite SuiteCommerce to Drive Ecommerce Sales and Eliminate Inefficiency

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite SuiteWorld 2012 -- NetSuite Inc., (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP software suites, today announced that Girl Scouts of the USA, the largest organization for girls in the world, is launching a new nationwide Ecommerce website expected to drive large gains in merchandise sales and brand awareness atop NetSuite SuiteCommerce, a new commerce-aware platform that provides a central system to manage all transactions with consumers and other businesses regardless of the touchpoint used, from websites to smartphones, tablets, social media and point of sale.

Girl Scouts, founded in 1912 and headquartered in New York City with 2.3 million girl members, 900,000 adult volunteers and nearly 59 million alumnae, selected NetSuite to replace their current ERP, warehouse management and Ecommerce software. The new NetSuite-based solution will be made available to 65 Girl Scout councils who currently maintain on-line shops with the objective of reducing council costs while enhancing the customer experience and increasing brand awareness. Additionally, about 47 councils without an Ecommerce storefront will have one for the first time when the NetSuite-based system is fully implemented. With about 2,500 merchandise SKUs, from uniforms and program resources to collectibles and badges, Girl Scouts has made NetSuite Ecommerce central to its strategy to grow its online business while delivering a cohesive Web experience for all customers.

NetSuite's SuiteCommerce platform is at the heart of NetSuite Commerce as a Service (CaaS), and enables businesses to manage interactions with other businesses and directly with consumers via a cloud platform that delivers an enhanced customer experience, through any touchpoint, directly on the core NetSuite ERP/CRM business management application. This technology transcends the limitations and complexity of first-generation Ecommerce systems to deliver new efficiencies for merchants and a superior experience for customers.

The new Girl Scouts solution will provide a unified Ecommerce and brand presence under a single domain name, http://www.girlscoutshop.com, with unique customized pages for each of the 112 Girl Scout councils. "We see a huge opportunity to both enhance business at the council level and reduce expenses. The more retail business the councils do, the more wholesale business we do at the national level," said Barry Horowitz, Vice President and General Manager, Girl Scouts Merchandise. "It's a win-win."

After a rigorous evaluation process, Girl Scouts selected NetSuite over competing solutions because of its full integration across Ecommerce, inventory, warehousing, order management, marketing and analytics, providing Girl Scouts with a central solution for complete order management. As a cloud system, NetSuite enables Girl Scouts to avoid high capital costs for hardware and software and ongoing maintenance expenses, while having scalability on demand as the business grows.

"The biggest draw of NetSuite is that it's fully integrated, from the storefront to the back office -- we were definitely in the market for an all-encompassing solution," Horowitz said. "We can eliminate the unproductive manual work of gathering and reporting on data across disconnected systems and take advantage of one centralized and uniform data set and targeted marketing and promotions on a national level."

Another appeal of NetSuite SuiteCommerce is the power and flexibility of the platform, which allows the design and implementation of its new Ecommerce site to be in three flavors -- B2C, B2B (for merchandise sales from headquarters to councils and other wholesale customers) and mobile. A new transaction-capable mobile app takes advantage of NetSuite's native support for smartphones and tablets to enable on-the-go browsing and purchasing. Leveraging the powerful customization capabilities, the new site will detect a visitor's IP address and direct them to the customized council pages in their geographic area.

About NetSuite SuiteCommerce
NetSuite SuiteCommerce is at the heart of NetSuite Commerce as a Service (CaaS), which enables businesses to manage their interactions with consumers via a cloud platform and delivers any desired customer experience, on any current or future device, directly on the core NetSuite ERP/CRM business management application.

Jeremiah Weed® Partners With ZZ Top, Giving Fans a Sneak Peek at the Legendary Rock Trio's First Single in Nine Years

The Multi-Faceted Creative Campaign Kicks-Off This Week and Includes an Exclusive Music Video, Social Media, and Local Market Activations Supporting the Band's Recently Announced Gang of Outlaws Tour

WEED, Ky., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ZZ Top fans won't have to wait for the band's long-awaited new album release to hear the Texas trio's first new single in nine years.  Jeremiah Weed Premium Flavored Malt Beverages and the multi-platinum legendary rock band ZZ Top have partnered for a unique creative campaign, which launched this week and includes a short music video featuring the band's first new track in nearly a decade, "I Got To Get Paid," produced by Rick Rubin.  The video, which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/jeremiahweed, is the only place fans can hear this yet-to-be-released song.

"Southern roots and a rock 'n roll persona are just some of the common attributes that ZZ Top and the Jeremiah Weed brand share, making this partnership a no-brainer," said Heather Boyd, of Jeremiah Weed. "Jeremiah Weed is looking forward to rocking responsibly with ZZ Top throughout the summer and beyond."

"We had fun making the 'I Got To Get Paid' video and have determined while playing inside a walk-in cooler that we share quite a few fans in common with Jeremiah Weed," said Billy F. Gibbons, ZZ Top's iconic front man and certified guitar god. "If you're of age, why not pick up some cans of Jeremiah Weed and check out the video on the Jeremiah Weed YouTube channel?  It's gonna be a good time."

Jeremiah Weed and ZZ Top, who is nearing completion on its first studio album since 2003, saw a unique opportunity to join forces to co-promote the product and the track.  The campaign leverages the vibrant social media communities of both ZZ Top and Jeremiah Weed to generate fan awareness and will reward engaged fans of legal drinking age with gear giveaways on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites throughout the summer.  Additionally, Jeremiah Weed will launch a grassroots campaign in support of ZZ Top's Gang of Outlaws Tour this summer through local market activations. 

Sure to be one of this season's hottest packages, the tour brings three leaders of their respective genres together for six weeks of performances this May and June. Joining the legendary ZZ Top are 3 Doors Down and, on most of the dates, Gretchen Wilson. The tour will kick-off May 25 in Manchester, NH.

The campaign was created by CAA Marketing, a division of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), in partnership ZZ Top and Diageo, the industry leader in social responsibility advocacy and owners of Jeremiah Weed.

Jeremiah Weed reminds you to rock, and drink, responsibly.

New website helps consumers find the real deals

MIAMI, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Times are hard. Prices for food, gas and fun keep rising, yet our incomes can't keep up. A new website, Living on the Cheap, says you don't have to count squares of toilet paper or sacrifice cappuccinos to make ends meet.

Run by 22 veteran consumer journalists, Living on the Cheap is packed with practical advice on everything from using coupons for healthy food to saving money on car repairs. Its savvy reporting helps you navigate the many restaurant and retail loyalty programs or decide whether a bargain cruise is really a bargain.

Here are five tips for stretching your dollar:

1. The most valuable card in your wallet is your library card. Libraries offer workshops, entertainment, story hours and even help finding a job, all for free. Many libraries also distribute free passes to local museums and attractions.

2. Sign up for email alerts from your favorite restaurants and stores or "like" them on Facebook. You'll get advance notice of sales as well as coupons, freebies and special offers.

3. Track down the clearance section at your grocery store. You'll find slightly damaged and discontinued items at a significant discount. Use coupons with these for extra savings.

4.  Check out websites like gofobo.com for free passes to movie previews. Join cinema loyalty programs to earn free tickets. Some theaters host weekly half-price days. This summer, many theaters will offer free or $1 kids' movies.

5. Like sports but hate high ticket prices? Sign up for emails from ticket sellers. Many send out deals and two-for-one offers. Check local newspapers and websites for package deals (such as tickets, food and drinks). Try college sports for great action at bargain prices.

Living on the Cheap is written by savvy frugalistas who know a deal when they see one. Its contributors write for MSN Money, The Miami Herald, CBS News, AARP The Magazine, New York Magazine, Consumer Reports Money Adviser, O Magazine, The Boston Globe, Bankrate.com and more, plus have written dozens of books.

The contributing editors also publish local On the Cheap websites in 29 U.S. cities.

"These days, we're bombarded with money-saving tips and 'deals' that aren't really deals at all," says Teresa Mears, co-founder and editor-in-chief. "Our mission is to bring readers the tips that really save them time and money."

Wrist Wear That Pops!

Introducing the Fashionable Baby-G BGA131 Collection and Video

DOVER, N.J., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Black and white are base color palettes in every woman's wardrobe, which is why the new Baby-G introductions are must-have accessories. The fashion-forward, always-functional brand brings a playful surprise to a classic accessory. The BGA-131 mirrors both sides of an individual's personality; Black on Black or White on White are appreciated for the more serious side of you, but neon colors show your inner playful side! Pick your shade of black or white styled with a dial that has 3D numbers that transform into a "glow anywhere" illuminated neon face - all at the push of a button.

In stores now, the pop-art inspired watches make keeping track of time fun! The one-of-a-kind watches aren't only stylish, they pop with features such as shock resistance, 100M water resistance, UV-LED "Neon, Illuminator" light, world time in 29 time zones/27 cities, five daily alarms, 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer and a full-auto calendar.

The 3D timepieces also play a pivotal role in the latest video from Baby-G titled, "C'etait un Rendez-vous," that follows a girl who curiously takes the roads less traveled through the Parisian streets. In this short film, Baby-G teams up again with one-time collaborator and designer Leah McSweeney of the Leah McSweeney brand and owner of Married to the MOB. The video showcases a girl with the excitement for life and her 3D Baby-G to light the way. Check out the film and light up life in style: http://youtu.be/YfXKj0YW6TI
