News Wire Oct 18, 2007 4:34 EST News On Money: Exit To Enter US Exit Only Inc. E.X.T.O. $0.41 Back In May of 2007, Exit Only Inc. released their new website. The concept of marketing new and used vehicles through the web is not new. Posting of a sellers vehicle to the site without charge is something new to web based vehicle marketing. Those posting there vehicles, either private or dealers, will only pay $2 for each potential buyers information they accept. Interest Highlights: - Canadian response to the new site far exceeds the company's projections. - 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 partnered with a number of online services to provide immediate 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. Duplication of the Canadian results in the much larger US market base will certainly make this company the next major online player.

Global 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. Reports In The US: Maine middle school to offer birth control - PORTLAND, Maine -- After an outbreak of pregnancies among middle school girls, education officials in this city have decided to allow a school health center to make birth control pills available to girls as young as 11. King Middle School will become the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available, including birth control pills and patches. Condoms have been available at King's health center since 2000. Students need parental permission to access the school's health center. But treatment is confidential under state law, which allows the students to decide whether to inform their parents about the services they receive. There are no national figures on how many middle schools provide such services. Most middle schoolers range in age from 11 to 13.
