Daily Report OCTOBER 18, 2007 Market News: Whole New Concept In Used Vehicle Market Ready To Launch Exit Only Inc. E.X.T.O. $0.41 Exit Only's initial web launch was in early May of 2007. Websites that market used vehicles are not new to the internet. Posting of a sellers vehicle to the site without charge is something new to web based vehicle marketing. Now sellers are only paying for the contact information of actual interested buyers, and at only $2 per lead. Points To Consider: - Initial marketing in Canada was met with overwhelming response. - Exit's goals for the year end were met in September of this year, just a few months from launch. - Exit is now expanding the site to enter the US market. - Exit has partnering with several high volume web services to provide fast market exposure. - Exit is also providing mobile access for sellers. The system will deliver real-time leads of buyer information directly to their mobile phone. The US market literally dwarfs the Canadian vehicle market, making the potential for this site astronomical. Review any market data website for more details. World Reports: Loggers, Greenpeace activists in Brazil standoff ---- RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Hundreds of loggers and angry residents have surrounded eight Greenpeace members who tried to leave an Amazon town with a scorched tree trunk for an exhibit on global warming, the environmental group said Wednesday. The activists are holed up in the makeshift headquarters of the federal environmental agency in the town of Castelo dos Sonhos, Greenpeace campaigner Andre Muggiati said. "They are still surrounded and the situation is tense," he said by telephone. The region in the Amazon state of Para is part of the so-called "arc of destruction," the southern edge of the rain forest that has been devastated by loggers. In 2005, American missionary Dorothy Stang was shot dead in the region during a land dispute. On Tuesday, the Greenpeace activists tried to haul away a badly burned fallen tree trunk for an exhibit on global warming in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Muggiati said. National News: Child's Scrape Turns Into Critical Situation --- MRSA Strain Hospitalizes Child ----- MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- A simple scrape on the knee turned into a superbug and has landed a 5-year-old Nashville girl in the hospital in critical condition. Doctors said the infection that the child caught is called Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, a tough name for a tough strain of drug resistant infection now known as MRSA. "(She was) a simple child playing, having fun. She falls down and scrapes her knee," said father Julian Clemmons. That small scrape on the knee last Tuesday put Julianna Clemmons in the hospital by Friday. "She's been under care and dialysis, ventilator and plasma exchange," said Clemmons. While it.s rare, what.s concerning to health officials is that it's turning up more often. The Centers for Disease Control said there were 94,000 cases of MRSA in the U.S. in 2005. "What has emerged is an organism that lives predominantly in hospitals until now. |
