FRAMINGHAM, Mass., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In shopping and fashion, there is the thrill of the hunt, and then comes the pure, unmatchable exhilaration of the "find." The bargain find that is! There is nothing better than uncovering an amazing piece of designer fashion at an incredible price. A recent survey by Caravan Opinion Research found that 15% of women who responded loved nothing more than to share that exhilaration with everyone around them, while only 2% are inclined to talk about their extravagant, high end purchases. Inspired by a woman's need to divulge her amazing find, national off-price retailer, T.J. Maxx has launched a new marketing campaign, and a new phrase into pop culture-the Maxx Moment.

"A Maxx Moment is a spontaneous display of joy and euphoria brought on by the combination of great savings and hot designer fashion, and that need to share that joy," said Laura McDowell, T.J.
GS Home Shopping eyes online retailers
SEOUL (Reuters) - GS Home Shopping, South Korea's largest home shopping retailer, is looking to buy online malls to make the fast-growing e-commerce business its top income generator by 2010, its vice president said on Tuesday. GS Home Shopping, which currently draws 60 percent of its revenue from TV shopping, is betting on the online business, which makes up 30 percent, because 90 percent of households already subscribe to cable TV, suggesting little room for growth. "I don't expect any fresh momentum for the TV home shopping industry at least in the next two to three years. The market is saturated, and cable viewing rates are dropping due to newly emerging digital broadcasting platforms such as Internet TV," Noh Young-joon told Reuters in an interview. "By 2010, the Internet business will likely account for more than half of our total revenue.

April 22, 2007- They say champions are born every day. In this case, the champions were born twenty some-odd years ago. They call themselves the XBox Live Brotherhood, and they consist of four guys who refer to themselves as Kgetz, Xenios, TelluricKnight, and Insane X. This fearsome foursome originally met and competed in their first battle together right here on GameBattles years ago. The knowledge gained about each other through the many seasons, tournaments, and various playoffs on the site has played a huge role in the success of their biggest achievement yet - winning the very first Rainbow Six Vegas event on the 2007 Boost Mobile MLG Pro Circuit.In light of this, I recently sat down with Kgetz to discuss XBLB's initial impressions of MLG, and how it feels to sit atop the rankings of the 2007 Pro Circuit.GameBattles: Going into the tournament, how well did you feel XBLB stacked up against the rest of the competition?Xbox Live Brotherhood: We felt very confident going into the tournament.
