News Alerts For Thursday Oct 18, 2007 4:34 EST News On Money: Exit To Enter US Exit Only Inc. E x TO $0.41 Exit Only's initial web launch was in early May of 2007. The idea of bringing new and used vehicles to web consumers is nothing we have not seen before. Posting of a sellers vehicle to the site without charge is something new to web based vehicle marketing. The company charges sellers only for actual contact info from interested buyers. Highlights: - Canadian response to the new site far exceeds the company's projections. - The companies year end goals were met in just the first few months. - The site has now expanded its scope to include the US market. - Exit has partnering with several high volume web services to provide fast market exposure. - In addition the site is now providing Mobile access, delivering sellers contact information of potential buyers right to their cell phone. Comparing the size of the US market to Canada, similar results in the US could very well transform this company into an overnight success. Contact your broker, or review any market site for further information. International Reports: Report: African wars cost billions ------ DAKAR, Senegal -- About $18 billion a year has been drained from Africa by nearly two dozen wars in recent decades, a new report states, a price some officials say could've helped solve the AIDS crisis and created stronger economies in the world's poorest region. "This is money Africa can ill afford to lose," Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf wrote in an introduction to the report by the British charity Oxfam and two groups that seek tougher controls on small arms, Saferworld and the International Action Network on Small Arms. "The sums are appalling: the price that Africa is paying could cover the cost of solving the HIV and AIDS crisis in Africa, or provide education, water and prevention and treatment for tuberculosis and malaria," Sirleaf added. "Literally thousands of hospitals, schools, and roads could have been built." Top US Stories: Prosecutor apologizes 12 years after bogus rape verdict ---- HOUSTON, Texas -- A man who spent a dozen years in prison for a rape he didn't commit was freed Tuesday, the third inmate to be released because of problems with the Houston Police Department's crime lab. Wearing dark clothes and carrying a red mesh gym bag and a paper sack containing his belongings, Ronald Taylor greeted his family with warm embraces outside the Harris County Jail. "It hasn't really sunk in. I'm just glad to see my family," he said. His plans included eating shrimp, a delicacy he missed in prison, and moving to Atlanta to marry Jeannette Brown, the fiancee who has waited for him since the mid-1990s.
