Blue Rhino Introduces Rhino Gauge(TM) iPhone App Version 2.0

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Rhino, the leading brand of propane tank exchange for gas grills, outdoor heaters and other propane appliances, has introduced version 2.0 of its iPhone app, Rhino Gauge(TM).

"Everybody hates running out of gas while grilling," said Chris Hartley, vice president of marketing for Blue Rhino. "Blue Rhino's Rhino Gauge app can help prevent that, by allowing you to better keep track of the amount of propane in your tank."

Here's how the app works. Just answer a few questions about how you grill and the last time you bought Blue Rhino propane. Based on the information you provide, the app will predict when you should need gas again. It can provide an even better estimate if the user chooses to track every cookout individually.

To keep an eye on their estimated tank fill level, users click "Propane Check." When the gauge shows "low," it is time to get more propane.

The app, which was designed for use with Blue Rhino tanks, also shows Blue Rhino locations nearby so the user can get back to the grill, quick and easy. There's even a timer built into the app for keeping track of grilling time.

Owners of v.1 of Rhino Gauge, which was originally released in 2009, will need to download the new version to replace the old one.

Blue Rhino's Rhino Gauge app is free, and available to download from the iTunes store or at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rhino-gauge/id504352398?mt=8. For more information, visit http://www.BlueRhino.com/rhinogauge.

About Blue Rhino®

In 1994, Blue Rhino - named for the color of a propane flame and the endangered animal - launched America's first branded propane tank exchange service. Today, Blue Rhino is more than propane, with a full line of products at the heart of outdoor living. This includes grills, heaters, fire pits, mosquito traps, charcoal, and more sold under brands such as Endless Summer®, UniFlame®, SkeeterVac®, and Lokkii®. Blue Rhino's leading propane exchange brand is available at more than 45,000 retail stores in 50 states and Puerto Rico and is based in Winston-Salem, N.C.  For more information, visit http://www.BlueRhino.com.

Blue Rhino is a registered trademark of Ferrellgas, L.P.

*Calculations based on the fill level of Blue Rhino tanks. Results vary as propane fill level is affected by many factors.

MetriX3 Performance Dashboards Bring New Meaning to "IT Intelligence" by Enabling IT Executives to Meet Critical Business Mandates

New Release Offers Robust Set of New Features that Enhance & Secure Every Step of the User Experience from Design to Display

BRIGHTON, Mich., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- XCEND Group, a leading provider of performance-based analytical solutions for IT, announced today the general release of MetriX3, the latest version of MetriX IT Performance Dashboards. This significant update includes hundreds of new pre-built performance metrics, a browser-based "My Dashboard" Portal, an intuitive dashboard & metric management system, user- and role-based security management, and mobile device support.

An award-winning national provider of endpoint management & security solutions, XCEND has channeled its decades of collective industry knowledge into the development of MetriX IT Performance Dashboards, an easy-to-use, browser-based solution that works with customers' existing IT infrastructures to provide real-time visibility into performance metrics that matter most to IT executives and managers. With the release of MetriX3, customers gain access to a vastly expanded set of best-practice performance metrics and dashboard templates that provide unparalleled visibility across the IT landscape, enabling key decision makers to best understand and demonstrate exactly how IT brings value to the business.

"CIOs and IT managers are requiring greater visibility to how well the IT organization is operating and whether IT investments are returning the value they are seeking," said Ron Schoenherr, President and CEO of XCEND. "MetriX3 is the optimal platform for measuring, monitoring, and managing today's complex and rapidly evolving IT environment by delivering a single-pane-of-glass view into the metrics that matter most."

"With costs still under pressure, growth opportunities limited, and the tolerance to bear risk low, IT faces increased levels of scrutiny from stakeholders both internal and external," said Darryl Plummer, managing vice president and chief of Research at Gartner, Inc. "All parties expect greater transparency, and meeting this demand will require that IT become more tightly coupled to the levers of business control."

The latest release of MetriX marks significant advancement in the direction of the technology, focusing on improving the overall user interface and empowering decision makers to get unprecedented value out of the technologies they already own.  New features include:

    --  Expanded Library of Pre-Built Metric Packs: MetriX3 comes with a
        comprehensive library of dashboard templates and key performance metrics
        for critical IT operations such as Software Management, Patch
        Management, and Endpoint Protection. Users are enabled from day one to
        reduce costs, optimize purchasing decisions, identify gaps in their
        security strategy, and decrease the risks and time lags associated with
        manual report collection.

    --  Enhanced User Interface: MetriX3's intuitive user interface means
        creating a new dashboard is as simple as dragging and dropping metrics
        from the category tree to the designer canvas. Administrators and
        designers can easily manage and customize the structure of the metric &
        dashboard library, as well as an individual metric's type, look and
        feel, or query parameters.

    --  "My Dashboards" Portal & Mobile Support: Users can access their
        dashboards from any browser or mobile device with MetriX3's customizable
        "My Dashboards" Portal. User- and role-based restrictions make sure that
        users only see the dashboards they've been given access to. With the
        MetriX3 Designer, dashboards can be quickly and easily optimized for
        display on smartphones and tablets, regardless of device type or
        operating system.

    --  Role- and Scope-Based Security: MetriX3's enhanced security features
        allow granular control over security policies for creating, deleting,
        modifying or viewing metrics and dashboards based on user, group, or
        role.

Award-Winning Franchise Revolutionizes The Karting Genre, Allowing Fans To Play, Create, Share In An Expansive 3D World Like Never Before

FOSTER CITY, Calif., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC. (SCEA) announced today plans to release LittleBigPlanet(TM) Karting, the newest adventure in the award-winning LittleBigPlanet(TM) franchise, exclusively for the PlayStation(®)3 (PS3(TM)) system.  Scheduled to launch in 2012, LittleBigPlanet Karting will provide fans a new means to Play, Create, Share in the form of a competitive and cooperative karting adventure based in expansive 3D environments for the first time and one that is unmistakably LittleBigPlanet.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020701/SFM066LOGO)

The franchise that has seen more than six million user-generated levels and games shared online via PlayStation®Network is now revving the engine once again as Sackboy(TM) returns in a completely new, fast-paced karting campaign to save the Craftworld universe.  In LittleBigPlanet Karting, players can jump into vibrant 3D game worlds with Sackboy for intense classic kart racing and ultra-competitive arena battles.  More adventurous karting expeditions are just as accessible, including objective-based missions, boss battles, and mini-games.  On the create side, players can customize their Sackboy, karts, and much more.  The new level editor tools will allow players to construct far more than just kart racing games, as they can design their own karting experiences with the ability to make their own game rules, weapons, and tracks that break free from the constraints of a traditional racetrack allowing the imagination to run wild in a completely open environment.  Players will also be fully able to share this content with others around the world through PlayStation Network providing access to what promises to be millions of LittleBigPlanet Karting experiences created by the community.

"Since the launch of LittleBigPlanet, our community has provided incredible support, which can be seen in the more than six million levels and games that have been created and shared online through PlayStation Network, a truly wonderful accomplishment," said Guy Longworth, Senior Vice President, PlayStation Brand Marketing, SCEA.  "Now, we're thrilled to bring PlayStation 3 owners  the next Play, Create, Share experience, LittleBigPlanet Karting, a brand new competitive karting adventure that is sure to move this genre forward, providing endless entertainment for fans and newcomers, while resonating with every member of the family, young and old."

Developed by United Front Games, in conjunction with Media Molecule, LittleBigPlanet Karting is a single or multiplayer creative gaming experience that has an ESRB rating of "RP" for Rating Pending.  For more information about the ESRB, visit http://www.esrb.org.  For more information about the LittleBigPlanet franchise, visit http://www.littlebigplanet.com.

About the LittleBigPlanet Franchise

Since its launch in October 2008, LittleBigPlanet has been widely praised and critically acclaimed with more than 80 industry awards worldwide, 15 of which have been for Game of the Year categories, with awards ranging from the top gaming critics to prestigious organizations such as the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) and The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).  The franchise has sold more than four million units in North America alone and has been credited with establishing the Play, Create, Share creative gaming genre by putting the powers of creation firmly in the players' hands.  The game's stitched-together mascot, Sackboy, has broken through as the industry's newest star--one that has resonated with every member of the family, young and old.  LittleBigPlanet is a unique experience that provides developer and user-generated levels and an engaging story to explore and Play, a huge host of materials, tools, stickers, and more to Create, and a robust set of online features for everyone to Share these creations with each other as part of the LittleBigPlanet community.  In fact, the sharing nature of the game has become so embraced, it has attracted fans to publish more than six million levels to PlayStation Network since the award-winning game was released.

In 2009, the LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year edition was introduced to celebrate these achievements, featuring 18 never-before-seen bonus levels created by members of the community.  Hand-picked by the development team, these fans were rewarded with the opportunity to become actual level designers, a notion that all LittleBigPlanet devotees can relate to.  Later in 2009, LittleBigPlanet moved to the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and PSPgo systems allowing players to bring the beloved Sackboy with them on the go.  This was followed by the release of LittleBigPlanet(TM) 2 for the PS3 system providing fans a new means to Play, Create, and Share, allowing users to not only make better levels, but completely new games across multiple genres.  Later this year, LittleBigPlanet will be coming to PlayStation®Vita allowing users to customize Sackboy and the world around you with unique touch and camera create tools that let you play with more freedom that ever before--a miniature development kit in the palm of your hand!

Motrr Unveils Galileo on Kickstarter; Robotic Motion Platform Enables you to Move your iPhone with any iOS Device!

Revolutionary iOS-Controlled 360 degrees Pan-and-Tilt Device for Latest Gen iPhones and iPod Touches Now Available for Pre-Order on Kickstarter

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Motrr, led by the designers behind the Gorillapod(TM) line of innovative camera tripods, is pleased to announce the Galileo, a revolutionary iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform with infinite spherical rotation capability. Just swipe your finger on the screen of your iPad or other iOS device and Galileo reacts, orienting your iPhone or iPod Touch accordingly.   With applications in areas of photography, cinematography, social networking, and video conferencing, Galileo gives iOS devices endless possibilities of remote-controlled motion. Capable of infinite 360 degrees pan-and-tilt at speeds up to 200 degrees per second in any orientation, Galileo is an invaluable tool to everyone from an amateur photographer to the professional cinematographer, and vastly improves the experience of video chat for anyone needing to stay connected.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120322/SF74767)

"My motivation originally was to make it easier for me to have video chats with my son when I was away on business," said Motrr designer Josh Guyot. "The lack of control and visibility when you are talking to someone far away makes you feel even farther away and was just so frustrating; Galileo solves that problem."

While the current versions of the Galileo are controlled solely by another iOS device, Motrr is releasing an SDK (software developers kit) for app developers. With this, developers will be able to integrate Galileo functionality into apps for photography, time lapse, video, face tracking, games, baby monitoring and more, expanding the possibilities for automated tracking and photographic and cinematographic applications.

The Galileo is powered by a rechargeable Lithium polymer battery, and also operates as a charging station for your iPhone or iPod Touch when plugged in.  It is mountable on standard tripods.  The Galileo weighs 7 ounces, is 2 inches tall, 3-1/4 inches round, and has an MSRP of $129.95.  It is available in white, black, and limited edition Kickstarter Green.  The product will ship in spring 2012 and is now available for preorder globally via Kickstarter at a discounted price of $85.

LumaSense Reshapes the Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) Market with New Category of Monitors that Reduce Transformer Outages

SmartDGA(TM) platform employs infrared gas-sensing technology, features unique hardware design that dramatically reduces installation time, costs significantly less than traditional DGA systems

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LumaSense Technologies, Inc. today introduced a new category of dissolved-gas analysis (DGA) monitors that allow electric utilities to more effectively reduce outages caused by faulty load tap changers (LTC's) and transformers. At a cost significantly less expensive than comparable DGA monitors and a unique hardware design that drastically cuts down installation time, the LumaSense SmartDGA(TM) platform can help utilities achieve widespread condition monitoring across generation, transmission and distribution assets.

Currently, less than 5 percent of transformers have condition-based online DGA monitoring systems, according to industry sources, and approximately 30 percent of all transformer failures in the United States are related to faulty LTCs.

Widespread condition monitoring was unattainable using traditional technologies, largely due to high costs and excessive installation time. Whereas other systems take days to install, a SmartDGA monitor can be installed in a matter of hours. Additionally, SmartDGA monitors will cost up to 50-percent less than other monitors. The first monitor in the new line, the SmartDGA Gauge, will be the industry's first dedicated online gas monitor for LTCs.

"We believe Smart Grid begins with an optimized supply network in the utility grid. This means having reliable assets in the generation, transmission and distribution networks globally," said Vivek Joshi, LumaSense CEO. "The SmartDGA Gauge provides valuable information about load tap changers on a real-time basis, which is very important if we're serious about bringing concepts like Smart Grid to reality."

SmartDGA Gauge is the newest addition to LumaSense's line of solutions designed to provide utilities more information about how their transformers are functioning. LumaSense also provides a range of fiber optic temperature sensors (LumaSMART(TM) and  LumaSHIELD(TM)) used to monitor winding hot spots, and continuous thermal imaging systems (ThermalSpection(TM)) that remotely monitor substations. Utilities can now deploy these complementary technologies from LumaSense to predict and correct faults as a part of utility Condition Based Maintenance programs.

The SmartDGA platform uses non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensing technology. LumaSense has used NDIR technology in more than 400,000 instruments over the past 40 years. This extensive experience is coupled with a proprietary algorithm developed in accordance with recent utility standards to analyze and report LTC conditions. The SmartDGA Gauge requires no carrier gas, no frequent calibrations and can be easily retrofitted to LTC's to provide asset condition status.

White Plume Technologies Announces AccelaMOBILE Healthcare App

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When physicians see patients outside of their office (in the hospital, at a surgery center, in nursing homes), they typically scribble their charges on whatever paper is nearby and deliver it to the billing staff once they return to the office. Physicians are looking for a more accurate and reliable way to capture these charges without slowing them down.

White Plume Technologies announces the release of AccelaMOBILE, its cloud-basedmobile charge capture product. AccelaMOBILE allows physicians to capture charges on the mobile device of their choice: iPhones, iPads, Androids, tablets, and laptops.

I love AccelaMOBILE and can't see going back to anything else. It actually keeps me organized in the hospital while I use it as my rounding list. I bookmarked the site on a computer I use at the hospital so I can enter the charges immediately or later that day. The iPhone app is great and gives me the freedom to enter charges at home.
- Dr. James Connelly

When a physician loses a note card with a charge on it, hundreds of dollars could be at stake depending on the specialty. AccelaMOBILE makes sure valuable charge data is not lost, missed charges are identified, and charge data is immediately available to billing staff--ultimately accelerating cash flow.

Advantages for AccelaMOBILE users include:

    --  Note cards are no longer needed for reimbursement.
    --  Patients are easily transferred to other partners.
    --  Prompts help you complete hospital billing following rounds.
    --  Cloud-based application ensures patient data is not stored locally on a
        mobile device.
    --  Charges are captured anywhere with the device in your pocket.
AccelaMOBILE can be deployed in either a standalone or connected environment. When used as a standalone product, AccelaMOBILE is FREE! There are no setup or licensing fees.

Many White Plume clients choose to leverage our deep experience in cleaning and automatically posting charges to their billing system by connecting AccelaMOBILE to our powerful rules-based coding engine, AccelaSMART. For a small monthly fee, practices can automatically identify and correct coding errors and then electronically post charges to their billing system via established HL7 interfaces.

The remote charge capture process is frustrating for physicians and their billing staff. Physicians work hard and we believe they should be reimbursed appropriately. AccelaMOBILE is mobile charge capture. Fast. Intuitive. Free.

HKIFF to Premiere Youku Original "Micro Movie" Titles from Major Directors

HONG KONG, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Youku Inc. (NYSE: YOKU), China's leading Internet television company ("Youku"), today launched the Youku Original "Beautiful 2012" campaign with the debut of four "micro movies" from award-winning Asian directors at the Hong Kong International Film Festival (the "HKIFF").

Youku Original and the HKIFF invited leading Asian directors Gu Changwei, Tsai Ming-liang, Ann Hui, and Kim Tae-yong to direct "micro movies" ("wei dianying" in Mandarin) for "Beautiful 2012," a year-long Youku Original campaign highlighting selected original content. The internationally recognized, award-winning directors represent Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea, respectively. The micro movies will premiere at the HKIFF before being released exclusively on Youku's online platform over the course of the year.

This is one of the HKIFF's first times to showcase micro movies, a new, web-native storytelling format that has emerged alongside the rise of online new media platforms like Youku's. The size and scope of Youku's platform, its 300 million monthly viewers, and the overnight success of online-only movies like "Old Boys" Youku promoted in 2010have drawn interest from many established directors who used to produce traditional movies.

The press conference for the four micro movies also featured a trailer for "Spring Flowers," another film in Youku's Beautiful 2012 series. "Spring Flowers" was directed by Lv Huizhou, who also directed the short film "Love at the Crossroads" in the 2011 Youku series "One Step Away." To date, "Love at the Crossroads" has been viewed 17 million times.

"Online platforms offer filmmakers a range of flexibility in terms of accessibility, story length and format that traditional media have difficulty providing," said Roger Garcia, Executive Director of Hong Kong International Film Festival Society. "The 'micro movie' is an exciting new option for writers and directors, and we share Youku's vision of developing it into a new format for our millennia."

"With these new 'micro movies,' Youku continues to explore creative options to match content with formats native to the web," said Frank Ming Wei, Youku's Senior Vice President. "We see our cooperation with HKIFF as an affirmation of the importance of online video to the Internet generation, and of the growing influence of online video platforms for traditional media, viewer expectations, and brand advertising."

In addition to drawing the attention from an increasing number of established film and television talents, Youku Original movies and television serial dramas have also attracted sponsorship from major brands, including General Motors ("11 Degrees New Media Film Project," 2010), Philips ("One Step Away," 2011), Hyundai ("Hip Hop Office Quartet," 2008-present), and Sony ("Miss Puff," 2011-present). The film "Spring Flowers" is sponsored by Canon.

"Long Tau," from Gu Changwei, depicts the intertwined stories of a writer, an artist, a young girl, and a trash-picker. "The Walker," by Tsai Ming-liang, considers the history, present, and future of Hong Kong through a walk down the city's streets. Ann Hui's "My Way" tells the story of a middle-aged, conventionally successful businessman who knows, deep inside, that he is in fact a woman. "You Are More Than Beautiful," from Kim Tae-Yong, follows a man who hires a woman to pretend to be his partner while he visits his ailing father.

Youku Original is a key part of Youku's content strategy, which features the promotion of a combination of licensed professional content, in-house production from Youku Original, and user-generated content.

Our Internet television platform enables users to search, view and share high-quality video content quickly and easily across multiple devices.

C3 Synergistics Unveils System Designed to Unite Customers and Small Businesses, Stimulating Growth in Local Markets

EDMONTON, Alberta, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A recently launched web community takes the "shop local" concept to a whole new level. C3 Synergistics (http://www.c3sy.com) is a new Internet-based community providing consumers with information on preferred businesses in their area as well as a platform for sharing feedback.

C3 - "Connecting Consumers to Companies" - promotes the "shop local" movement. The site is designed to resolve consumer issues and build lasting relationships between consumers and businesses.

"Our main focus is on helping to educate consumers and improving the customer experience," says C3 President Karl Pischke. "We also are here to help local small businesses, providing a low-cost way for them to interact with prospective and current customers." Pischke says businesses will be listed geographically, enabling consumers to locate neighborhood businesses.

The "shop local" movement has gained popularity in recent years. According to the National Retail Merchants Association's Think. Shop. Buy. Local®! campaign, for every $1 spent at local businesses, 45 cents is reinvested locally.

Pischke says chances of success improve dramatically when businesses overcome these hurdles

    --  Create consumer awareness, trust and loyalty
    --  Demonstrate commitment to consumers
    --  Offer an effective incentive program
    --  Have a positive Internet presence without a website
    --  A convenient, current way to acquire relevant consumer information

Independent studies underscore the importance of customer service. A recent study by the National Retail Federation and KPMG shows that nearly 67 percent of the 247 companies polled ranked customer satisfaction as the top strategic initiative for 2012.

"Many companies talk the talk when it comes to customer service," says Pischke. "But the companies listed on our site also walk the walk, as evidenced by their adherence to our criteria." He explains that if a business falls short of any criteria it is allowed three "strikes" and cannot rejoin until it has demonstrated that it has met those standards.

Pischke says C3 will have a snowball effect, because businesses that follow C3 criteria are more likely to succeed and grow, encouraging others to start their own businesses. "C3 is not only a shop local program, but a job creation program."

A standard C3 business package starts at $350 annually. For more information, visit http://www.c3sy.com/.

Tagetik Launches New Corporate Identity: 'Performance With Passion'

LUCCA, Italy, March 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

                 New tag-line, website, video, and awareness campaign for the

                      most specialized, innovative, leading-edge vendor

                           in the Performance Management market

    Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for Performance
Management, Enterprise Governance, Risk & Compliance and Business Intelligence, today
announced its new corporate identity 'Performance with Passion' and in conjunction
unveiled a completely revamped website (http://www.tagetik.com), a 'performance with
passion' themed video,and an extensive awareness campaign. The focal point of the
company's restyled image and messaging is customers' and partners' signatures as
validation that Tagetik's dedication, innovation and unrivaled passion is a proven recipe
for success.

    "It all stems from our passion for doing things well," says Manuel Vellutini,
Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer at Tagetik(
http://www.tagetik.com/about/company/management/manuel-vellutini). "In a
supermarket-like sector full of standardized products, homogenized, complex solutions, and
weak personal relationships, Tagetik acts as a 'global boutique' (or say: a specialized
craftsman) focused on only one thing, performance management software, and doing it well.
Our specialization and 'one-to-one' service enable us to satisfy specific needs through an
ever-changing, simplifying, performance management product. This specialization and
passion is something we firmly believe are key differentiators in the market, which is why
we selected 'Performance with Passion' as the new foundation of our corporate identity."

    "Our philosophy is that mutual success is merely the first point of commitment,
because a signed agreement with Tagetik goes far beyond the contract," he continues. "The
signature represents a unique bond and dedication to success that we have forged with our
customers and partners. Many customers such as Panalpina, Grontmij, Bobrick, OCLC, M+W
Group, Peuterey, Unieco, Bolton and partners like PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Alper &
Schetter have contributed their signatures and are sharing their success stories to help
us communicate the value 'Performance with Passion' brings to the performance management
market."

    Dave Kasabian, Corporate Vice President, Product Marketing at Tagetik (
http://www.tagetik.com/about/company/management/dave-kasabian), adds: "Customers and
partners choose us because of the quality of our software solution, our ability to quickly
understand and address their needs, and the dedication of the company to their success.
Our decision to exclusively focus on Finance processes and finding innovative ways to
address the specific challenges of the Office of the CFO in a single unified product has
created a strong passion in our customer base for what we do and how we do it.
'Performance with Passion' and the signature campaign give us the opportunity to share the
passion and success of our customers and partners with the performance management software
marketplace. In our opinion there is no better way to communicate this than through the
words and signatures of our customers and partners."
