How MILES Was Born
Miles Johnson, the owner and creator of MILES The Auto Spa, began his career in the corporate world.

Expert Design
MILES The Auto Spa was custom made by a well-known architect in order to achieve the perfect dimensions and a modern, sophisticated exterior and interior layout. This design is somewhat of an inspiration?a reminder that something as seemingly casual as a car wash will be taken seriously and professionally when you come to MILES The Auto Spa.
A Hip Place to Be, and to Relax

Enerplus Declines After Reporting Q3 Loss And Reduced ...
Disclosure: I am long CHK, ERF, NXY, PGH. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
On Friday, November 9, before markets opened, Canadian oil and gas producer Enerplus Corp (ERF) reported a third-quarter loss due to asset impairments and noted it expects growth to slow down in 2013. Net loss in Q3 was $63.5 million Canadian (about $63.6 million U.S., with a roughly even exchange rate) or $0.32 per share, compared with a net income of $111.3 million or $0.62 Canadian cents per share in Q3 of 2011. Shares of ERF closed by 14.46 percent lower of Friday, largely in response to the report.
The primary difference, year over year, is the significant decline in natural gas prices, though the company also recorded exploration and evaluation impairments of about $114 million, and had total capital expenditures of $167 million. Enerplus' daily production during Q3 averaged 81,573 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an 11 percent increase from a year ago, but down slightly from Q2 of 2012. During Q2, Enerplus reported an average production rate of 82,108 BOE/day. The company noted that its oil and liquids volumes grew by 24 percent year-over-year, and now represent just under 50% of total production. By percent, oil and liquids increased by one percent quarter over quarter, compared to a seven percent increase last quarter.
Enerplus also cut its average production forecast for full-year 2012 by two percent to 82,000 BOE/day. At least part of this cut may be due to the sale of its Manitoba assets, which produced 1,600 BOE/day, as well as its interest in Laricina Energy. The company also noted that a slowing level of activity in the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania will further postpone natural gas production from the asset. The company also noted that it will reduce its capital spending by 20 percent next year.
Enerplus has been forced to sell some assets in order to fund its capital expenditure costs and continue fueling its long-term growth objectives, including shale assets it owns in the United States. Declining natural gas prices have pressured the company to sell assets and delay natural gas production growth. At the same time, Enerplus has been forced to sell some assets in a buyer's market for them due to necessary asset sales by larger entities such as Chesapeake (CHK). Also, production costs have generally increased in 2012, with ERF increasing its expectations for 2012 average operating cost to $10.70 per BOE from $10.40.
Enerplus shares spent much of the first half of 2012 in decline, following natural gas down the charts, and a spike down for oil prices that occurred in May. On June 12, Enerplus cut its monthly dividend in half, from $0.18 cents to $0.09. After ERF cut its dividend, oil and gas prices stabilized and subsequently increased, and by the end of the third quarter, Enerplus had appreciated by about 40 percent from its bottoming out in late June.
Over the last month, though, and including a sell-off that followed this Q3 report, shares of ERF have fallen by about 20 percent and are again nearing their 2012 lows. See a recent performance chart: (click to enlarge)
Some of this recent selling appears to be an overreaction to ERF's quarterly results, but continuing losses and/or further energy commodity declines could certainly exacerbate ERF's present condition. Given ERF's current condition, another asset sale announcement is likely forthcoming.
Enerplus may also announce changes to its dividend reinvestment plan, though such is no certainty. Enerplus' current Stock Dividend Program allows shareholders to receive dividends in the form of shares of Enerplus at a 5% discount to the current market price instead of a cash dividend. When Enerplus cut its dividend in Q2, the move was soon followed by Pengrowth (PGH), which recently suspended its Premium Dividend Program. Perhaps, this time, Enerplus will follow Pengrowth.
Another issue that could be weighing on ERF shares is Canada has been mulling over the sale of some companies to foreign national corporations. Last month, Canada denied a bid by Malaysia's state-owned oil company, Petronas, for Progress Energy Resources Corp, arguing that the deal did not provide a net benefit to Canada. Also, a larger deal by China's state-owned oil company, CNOOC, for Nexen Energy (NXY) is still being considered. It appears Canada is not against the idea of such sales, but instead interested in increasing the price of Petronas' offer. Either way, the uncertainty makes the sale of other Canadian oil and gas companies less probable, and that is also weighing down those other Canadian energy equities. The consummation of either such deal would likely reduce this uncertainty and provide a boost to the entire Canadian energy sector.

South Africa FA says 4 players die in car crash
Associated Press Sports
updated 3:25 p.m. ET Nov. 11, 2012
JOHANNESBURG (AP) -The South African Football Association says four second-tier players have been killed in a car accident in the same region where national team assistant coach Thomas Madigage died in a crash last month.
SAFA says early police reports indicate the players from the Polokwane City club died while returning from a game against Atlie FC late Sunday afternoon in the northern province of Limpopo. The teams are in South Africa's First Division, one below the top-tier Premier Soccer League.
SAFA did not initially name the players or give any more details of the accident.
Madigage, the 41-year-old assistant to Bafana Bafana head coach Gordon Igesund, died last month when his car collided with a donkey on a highway in Limpopo, about 300 kilometers (185 miles) from Johannesburg.

Karl Rove on why Romney lost: Obama was 'suppressing the vote'
GOP strategist Karl Rove used provocative words to describe one reason he believes Obama won. By 'suppressing the vote,' Rove appeared to mean that negative ads about MItt Romney tamped down enthusiasm for the GOP nominee.
In this April 2011 file photo, Karl Rove leads a panel discussion at SMU, in Dallas. The Fox News analyst and Bush policy adviser publicly questioned his network's call of the election for Barack Obama on election night.
Tony Gutierrez/AP/File
EnlargeConservative political strategist Karl Rove has used a provocative phrase to explain how Mitt Romney lost the presidential election Tuesday, saying President Obama won reelection ?by suppressing the vote.?
Skip to next paragraph' +
google_ads[0].line2 + '
' +
google_ads[0].line3 + '
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Really? Few?others make that assertion about the Obama victory.
And normally, the words voter suppression refer to efforts by the politically powerful to make it harder for people ? especially people who might oppose the politically powerful at the polls ? to cast ballots. The online reference Wikipedia defines it as tactics that "can range from minor ?dirty tricks? that make voting inconvenient, up to blatantly illegal activities that physically intimidate prospective voters to prevent them from casting ballots.?
Mr. Rove, a force behind big-money ad campaigns aligned with Republican candidates, appeared to redefine the term.?
Appearing on Fox News Thursday, Rove implied that Obama?s suppression strategy was to make Romney unlikeable, so that the Republican?s potential supporters wouldn?t show up to vote for him.
?He succeeded by suppressing the vote, by saying to people, 'you may not like who I am, and I know you can?t bring yourself to vote for me, but I?m going to paint this other guy as simply a rich guy who only cares about himself,' ? Rove said.
By his definition of suppression, it sounds just like traditional ?opposition research? and negative advertising. Does Rove (himself a purveyor of negative ads in his work for George W. Bush and now at the Crossroads GPS group) have some different point to make, or is this just sour grapes over the election outcome?
Fox News host Megyn Kelly responded to Rove. ?But I mean [Obama] won, Karl, he won.?
Before she interjected, Rove had also said this: Obama has become ?the first president in history to win a second term with a smaller percentage of the vote? than four years before.?
That doesn?t necessarily prove anything about vote suppression. But it leads into a broader, and legitimate, debate.
Whether one calls it suppression or not, there?s genuine hand-wringing among Republicans over what some call the ?missing voter? conundrum ? a dearth of white-voter turnout that caught many by surprise.
Although ballot counts for African-Americans, other nonwhites, and Hispanics all appear to have risen in 2012 compared with 2008, the number of white voters seems to have declined by 6 million or more. Sean Trende, an election analyst at RealClearPolitics, estimates the number of white no-shows is even larger once you account for the population changes, as well as for the 2012 ballots that remain uncounted.
?We find ourselves with about 8 million fewer white voters than we would expect given turnout in the 2008 elections and population growth,? Mr. Trende wrote Thursday. (Whites were the voters for whom Romney had the biggest appeal.)
The no-show pattern surprised many conservatives, who thought their base was energized to vote.
The definitive story of why the expected voters didn't materialize, and how much impact it had on the outcome, remains to be unearthed. Negative ads against Romney might have played a role. And by some early accounts, one big factor was Republicans' failure to mount successful "get out the vote" efforts in key states.

Auburn University Aquatics Purchases AquaClimb Sport Poolside ...
Can?t wait for my new AquaClimb Sport!
The Auburn Tigers have long been a leader in the aquatics arena with eight Men?s NCAA Champions and five Women?s NCAA Champions among many other accolades.? Auburn University?s state-of-the-art James E. Martin Aquatics Center still sets the standard for competitive swimming facilities.? Continuing their commitment to athletics, innovation, and sustainability the university is now in the process of adding a LEED compliant Recreation and Wellness Center.
The?240,000 square foot facility will include the first AquaClimb Sport in the US, a leisure pool, exercise equipment, several ball courts, a corkscrew track, and more. In close proximity to the Student Village Housing and existing intramural fields and tennis courts, the new multiplex provides extensive recreational opportunities for Auburn students, faculty and staff to use in their pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
The AquaClimb Sport is a natural fit for Auburn?s goals, combining cutting edge engineering with an impressive 19-foot climbing challenge and a design that will not interfere with swimmers during training or in competitions.
Construction of the Auburn University Recreation and Wellness Center is well underway and slated to open in the Spring of 2013.? Once completed, Auburn will confidently boast one of the best campus recreation facilities in the country.
Embracing challenge leads to achievement.
Just what?s in store for Auburn University?? Here?s the feedback we recently received from the North Alberta Institute of Technology.? ?We have had our AquaClimb Sport at the NAIT Pool since December 2011 and the response from our pool users has been fantastic! ?It is a fun, exciting and challenging addition. The Sport has provided our pool users with a unique way to add to their swim workout each day, as well as a fun way to test their climbing skills,? our users have a fun and safe experience.? We have had a great increase in the number of people coming to our pool, specifically to check out and try the new climbing wall!?? Our AquaClimb has been a great addition to our pool and it has been easy to maintain cleanliness as well as operational safety.????????????????????????????? ? Lindsay Ryan, Aquatic Programmer, NAIT, Edmonton, Canada
We at?AquaClimb certainly can?t wait for the Recreation and Wellness Center project to be completed, so we can get a picture of the Auburn Tiger climbing the new Sport wall. Go Tigers!

German lawmakers urge Merkel to talk tough in Russia
BERLIN (Reuters) - German lawmakers expressed alarm on Friday at the state of human rights in Russia since Vladimir Putin returned to the Kremlin in May and urged Chancellor Angela Merkel to press Moscow on its treatment of critics when she visits next week.
A parliamentary motion, written by Merkel's center-right coalition parties, asks the German government to campaign for greater democracy and rule of law in Russia, as well as seeking just treatment for anti-Putin campaigners such as jailed members of the punk group Pussy Riot.
Although the motion is non-binding it increases the pressure on Merkel to take a tougher stand on Russia - which has close energy and trade ties with Germany - although this could strain her relations with Putin, which have never been warm.
"Russia has taken legislative and judicial measures since May 7 aiming to control active citizens, criminalize critical engagement and create a confrontational course with government critics," Andreas Schockenhoff, a lawmaker from Merkel's Christian Democrats, told parliament.
Putin was sworn in as president on May 7, returning to a post he had held from 2000-2008 after serving four years as prime minister. Since then he has clamped down on dissent.
"When... democratic standards are reversed, rule of law is restricted and repressive tendencies are accentuated, we can't stand by indifferently. It fills us with deep concern," said Schockenhoff, the government's co-ordinator for Russian and German civil ties. However, he said that far from isolating Moscow, Germany wanted to strengthen relations.
TRADE PARTNERS
Merkel will hold talks with Putin on November 16, before a larger group of Russian and German ministers discuss energy and business ties. Germany is a major exporter to Russia and depends on Russian oil and gas for a large part of its energy needs.
Merkel will therefore be wary of alienating a man who bristles at being lectured from abroad.
Her visit to Russia coincides with the end of the Petersburg Dialogue, an annual conference in which German and Russian business people, lawmakers and civil organizations discuss the state of their relations and areas for development.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has already hit out at Schockenhoff, saying it refuses to recognize him as a representative of the German government. Schockenhoff is due to chair discussions on civil society at the Petersburg Dialogue.
Schockenhoff told Reuters this week the motion was not a form of meddling but rather showed German lawmakers wanting to encourage what he described as a very lively discussion taking place in Russia itself.
Berlin has grown increasingly disappointed with Russia's course under Putin and his predecessor Dmitry Medvedev, who is now prime minister.
By contrast, Merkel's predecessor, Social Democrat Gerhard Schroeder, cultivated a hearty rapport with Putin, referring to him as a "flawless democrat".
Schroeder now works as chairman of Russian gas producer Gazprom's Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. He has adopted two children from Russia.

Corel PaintShop Pro X5
Corel's image editor, PaintShop Pro, has since 1990 been a low-cost alternative to Adobe Photoshop (which first appeared in 1988) and the later Photoshop Elements (2001).Though it offers a lot of image manipulation, during its whole existence PaintShop Pro has lagged behind Adobe's products in both capabilities and slickness of interface. This latest PaintShop Pro X5 version adds some major features we've already seen elsewhere?face tagging, mapping, and Instagram-like one-click photo effects. That's not to say Corel hasn't innovated, with its own twists on these features. At $59.99, is still a bargain compared with its Adobe competitors, but it also still trails in deep features and usability.
Installing
PaintShop Pro is available in regular edition for $59.99 and an Ultimate edition that adds Reallusion FaceFilter Studio 2.0 portrait enhancement tools, Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 filters, and a collection of royalty-free images, brushes and textures. You can download and install a full-function 30-day trial version of PaintShop Pro X5 from Corel's site. It's a 138MB download, and the installer unfortunately tries to side-load a browser toolbar, which you can deselect if you're alert during installation.
Interface
The interface is little changed from X4's, but with competitors like Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 cleaning up their interfaces considerably, PaintShop's remains overly cluttered with buttons, icons, rulers, panels, and menus. It's a standard three-panel affair, with folder navigation on the left, the main image view in the center, and an info and action panel on the right. Along the bottom is your filmstrip view of photos in the current folder, aka the "tray." I do like how you can undock or hide any panels to taste. You can choose interface colors other than the default (and best, to my eyes) dark gray. An odd choice here is a distracting baby blue.
In contrast to the busy working area, three simple mode selectors grace the top of PaintShop's window?Manage, Adjust, and Edit. Most photo workflow apps add one or more output modes?Print, Web, and so on. Lightroom is the king of this, with the ability to customize which modes appear to taste. The Adjust Mode doesn't actually offer all of the adjustments the program is capable, of instead just offering some quick fix options, similar to Photoshop Elements' new design. One thing I'd like to see in PaintShop is a simple Revert button, for when you've gone beyond the pale with editing and need to start over. An optional History panel shows all your previous actions, and can even run scripts.
Importing and Organizing
Importing is a weak point for PaintShop Pro. It adds a "Review Photos" entry to the AutoPlay dialog that pops up whenever you plug camera media into your PC. But I had to navigate down to the folder where the captures resided, while Photoshop Elements found them for me. PaintShop does have an Import menu choice, but while it found my iPhone, it didn't find the photos on an SD media card. Of course, you could just use Windows' pretty good photo importer, which even lets you tag pictures on the way in, but Adobe Photoshop Element's import capabilities beat PaintShop's.
The app's documentation claims that you don't really need to specifically "import" images?PaintShop will enter any photos you open in its database, keeping track of changes and optionally keeping a copy of the original. But this isn't helpful when you're viewing photos on a memory card. It also means you have no way to preview raw camera photos before import or select only some for import as you can in the competition. Though I could do this with my iPhone photos, once I hit the import dialog's Get Pictures, I got an error message saying the file couldn't be written.
Once you've got images in, the Quick Review, summoned by double-clicking a tray thumbnail, shows your photos in full screen, with controls at the bottom for rating, discarding, zooming, and moving to the next or previous image. Doing this last with large raw camera files was still slow when they were on the SD card, faster when moved to disk, and simplifies quickly deciding on photos' merits.
PaintShop Pro gives you the usual ways to organize images?star ratings from 1 to 5 and tags that can be easily set from a sidebar Info panel, though not from a control that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the image, as you can in Photoshop Elements. An Auto Group option lets you keep photos shot within a specified time frame together. And you can have the program create Smart Collections, specifying parameters like date range, name, caption, size, or tags. You can easily zoom in on the thumbnails or even beyond 100 percent size in Manage mode, which Elements' Organizer for some reason doesn't allow.
Faces. Now added to the usual organizing tools are face and place organizers. To get started with face recognition, you select some photos in a collection and hit the head icon and choose Find People. This doesn't work if you've selected photos from a computer folder?only from a collection. I scanned all my 1320 image files for faces, which took about 7 minutes. Once it was done, I could either attach a name on a photo's full preview, or switch to thumbnail view to see groups of found faces.
As with all face detection, non-faces (shrubs and such) were misidentified, but it seemed like more than most apps. Also, the same person's face would often appear in multiple groups, and there were a lot of ungrouped photos that contained the same faces that had a group. For the former, I could hit an X to easily ignore the non-faces.
The program doesn't have as clear or effective a system for "learning" a face as other apps do, though when click in the name box, occasionally a previous name appears. But if it doesn't, even when you start typing, suggestions from previous names you entered don't show up. Another problem is that the grid view doesn't zoom into the face, so if there's more than one face in the photo, you don't know which you're naming.
Once you've face tagged, you can select a person's name from the Collections panel to show just photos containing the named person's visage. But after that, there are no fun options like collages or face movies.
Maps and Location. PaintShop Pro's new mapping capability does include a nifty sharing project, called Share My Trip, but first let's take a look at the basic location feature. It can use embedded GPS data in the photos, or you can manually place them on a map integrated into the program or import a KML file.
The easiest, automatic way is if you have GPS data embedded in the photo files?usually the case for smart phone pictures. With those, you don't have to do anything; the program creates Collections based on location, which you can filter on. You can also import location from your Facebook check-ins. In Manage mode, one of the main view options along with Preview and Thumbnails is Map Mode. This shows a map with pins for each photo's location. A search box even lets you find specific locales.
Now for the Share My Trip feature. The sharing comes courtesy of Facebook and Dropbox?yes you need an account in both for the online sharing though you can create your geographical pictorial locally, too. You select applicable photos in the tray, and then run through a wizard, logging into both services for web sharing. The result was attractive, with a filmstrip across the bottom and a map with large thumbnails at each location. You can also simply view a small slideshow of the geo-tagged photos. Not as high-production-values as iPhoto's Places slideshows, but nice enough.

How To Solve The Problems Of Personal Bankruptcy | Siben ...
TIP! Remember that just because you have filed for personal bankruptcy it will not cause you to lose everything you own. It is possible for you to keep your personal property.
Repossessions, late fees and legal action due to financial hardships can be difficult to bear. Cease debt collector calls, then figure out your financial situation by thinking about personal bankruptcy. Keep reading for useful tips to help you through the process.
TIP! Consider any other options available before filing for personal bankruptcy. Have you been through credit counseling first? You can get assistance from non-profit companies.
Typically, people who have faced bankruptcy swear off credit cards. However, building a good credit history requires that you occasionally use credit. Avoiding credit altogether prevents you from rebuilding your credit standing, and will therefore serve as an obstacle when you wish to finance a house or a vehicle. Begin with a credit card that has the very low limit and handle it extremely responsibly to begin healing your credit rating.
TIP! Carefully pick the lawyer you will use when filing for bankruptcy. This kind of law is popular among inexperienced lawyers.
You might find it difficult to obtain an unsecured credit card or line after emerging from bankruptcy. A great way to rebuild your credit is to apply for a prepaid credit card. This will demonstrate that you?re seriously trying to restore your credit. After some time passes they may be willing to offer you unsecured credit.
TIP! Remember to have fun with your life when you?re done with the filing process initially. Filing is the most intensive step in the process, so afterwards it?s important to let go of some of your stress.
Before petitioning, you need to know what the personal bankruptcy rules are first. Your case may be rife with issues due to pitfalls inherent in codes regarding personal bankruptcy. If you do not know bankruptcy law, your bankruptcy case could be dismissed. This is exactly why it?s imperative that you take the time necessary in order to research what you can about bankruptcy. The proceedings will be much smoother with this information.
TIP! If you start a new or second job, that doesn?t mean you should stop filing for bankruptcy! Filing for personal bankruptcy may still be the best idea even in their current circumstances. The timing of your bankruptcy is important.
Try to find a bankruptcy attorney who is personally recommended, rather than off the Internet, or out of the yellow pages. Bankruptcy attracts a lot of fly-by-night firms that take advantage of desperate people, and a word-of-mouth recommendation makes it more likely that your bankruptcy will go smoothly.
TIP! When you file for bankruptcy, you want to be certain that your papers include every debt that you need to get discharged. Any debts not included will not be discharged at your bankruptcy.
Do not be afraid to remind your attorney of important specifics of your case. Chances are that you may have forgotten to tell them about certain specifics that may be important to your filing. Speak up. This is your life, and your future depends on it.
TIP! Understand the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 involves the elimination of all of your debt.
There is no requirement to dispose of every debt you have when you file for bankruptcy. For instance, Chapter 13 allows you to plan a payment plan and to pay back your debt over the next five years. If you feel like filing for bankruptcy is not responsible, Chapter 13 could be a good option for you. The solution to getting relief from a mound of debt that is impossible to repay without feeling like you have completely cheated your debtors can be filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
TIP! You may want to see if there is a second job available. Avoid filing bankruptcy by communicating this to your creditors.
Do not give up. You may be able to regain property like electronics, jewelry, or a car if they?ve been repossessed by filing for bankruptcy. If you have any property in repossession that was taken less than three months before filing for bankruptcy, then there are good odds that you can get your property back. Talk with an attorney who can guide you through the process of filing a petition.
TIP! Do not use a credit card to pay income taxes and then file for bankruptcy. Most states do not look at this debt as chargeable, and you could end up owing money to the IRS.
Safeguard your home. Bankruptcy filings don?t necessarily have to end in the loss of your home. It depends what your home value is and if there is a second mortgage, as all this stuff comes into play when determining if you can keep the home. Check to see if you pass the requirements necessary to file for a homestead exemption.
TIP! If the process of filing for personal bankruptcy has become overwhelming to you, you may find supportive listeners in the form of online Internet chat rooms for people undergoing bankruptcy. Because of the extra stress involved in a bankruptcy filing, you may feel isolated from your friends.
Of course you could decide to file bankruptcy, but learn of your other choices first. You should also know that some debt consolidation firms are little more than scams that will only hurt your financial situation further. Avoid debt in the future and make good financial choices by committing the tips presented here to memory.

Domain Holdings Going The Extra Mile(s) | Elliot's Blog
I received s press release that reminded me about an article I wrote a couple of years ago. In the article, I said ?I think it might be a smart idea to attend an industry tradeshow in a vertical where you are selling a domain name to try and close a deal.?
It looks like Domain Holdings had the same idea, and it?s going to take them across the world to connect with potential domain name buyers. According to the release, someone from Domain Holdings ?will be presenting five premium domains to the world stage at two of the longest running United Arab Emirates tradeshows from November 4-14, The Big 5 International Building and Construction Show and ADIPEC. The premium domain names include: Gas.com, Oil.com, Energy.com, AbuDhabi.com and Dubai.com.?
One thing vie learned in this business is that emails and phone calls often go unanswered, even if you have the perfect domain name for sale. Executives are busy, and assistants who screen calls and emails often filter out sales pitch contacts, even if the product would be desired.
When you meet people in person, you can usually have a better conversation while answering any questions directly. You can get direct contact information to avoid having to go through intermediaries in order to reach the decision maker. In addition, it?s always helpful if you can remind the contact about your meeting and get through an admin by saying that his or her boss told you to call.
Attending a tradeshow will give Domain Holdings the opportunity to meet with many prospects at once, which also gives the impression that the opportunity may be jumped on by s competitor. There are a couple of other reasons attending a tradeshow to sell a domain name is a good idea, which I previously wrote about in one of my first blog posts from back in 2007:
?Small business owners are accustomed to dealing face-to-face with account representatives from the companies with whom they do business. Much of their business is done with a handshake in person at a tradeshow ? especially when opening a new account with a supplier. For the most part, this is impossible to do on the Internet. To many small businesses, learning how to successfully operate with the help of the Internet is a daunting challenge. Why not meet with these business owners in person, make them feel comfortable and win their business? All of this can be accomplished by attending industry specific tradeshows.?
It seems that some domain brokers prefer the ?low hanging fruit,? which is fine, but Domain Holdings is going the extra mile to close a deal on these names. Should these high value domain names sell as a result of this effort, the company has certainly earned its commission.
Press release follows:
Domain Holdings Group, a world-class leader in domain lifecycle management and premium domain name brokerage, announced Monday that it will be presenting five premium domains to the world stage at two of the longest running United Arab Emirates tradeshows from November 4-14, The Big 5 International Building and Construction Show and ADIPEC. The premium domain names include: Gas.com, Oil.com, Energy.com, AbuDhabi.com and Dubai.com.
The separate four-day tradeshows will be held in Dubai (The Big 5) and Abu Dhabi (ADIPEC). Domain Holdings will select a meeting site once at the respective venues. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Niko Younts, Global Domain Asset Consultant & Broker, for more information ? Niko(at)domainholdings(dot)com, or call 1.513.225.4757.
The U.A.E. is one of the Middle East?s most technologically advanced nations and also one of the world?s strongest economies with USD $1 trillion in foreign invested assets. Its growth is driven by its natural resource exports as well as its investment in infrastructure. Premium domains like Gas.com, Oil.com, Energy.com, AbuDhabi.com and Dubai.com fit the region?s high profile as a world economic leader.
?There is no question that the U.A.E. is iconic on the global scale for its unprecedented growth, innovation and expansion. Naturally, that expansion has precipitated a crossover into global business opportunities ? and at the global level domain names can be the catalyst for exposure to either the country or businesses operating in it to the global business community,? Domain Holdings co-founder John Ferber said. Ferber was the co-founder of Advertising.com ? which sold to AOL in 2006 for nearly USD $500 million and eventually became cornerstone for America Online?s AOL Advertising business. ?There is only one Dubai and there is also only one Dubai.com.?
Premium Generic Domain Facts:
-Three-letter .COM Domains see an increased demand because of their limited supply. All possible three-letter .Com and .NET names are registered.
Single-word industry specific domain names have accounted for more than 80% of the 73 reported USD $1M or greater sales dating back to 1999. Examples include: Call.com USD $1.1M, Invest.com USD $1.015M)
Energy, from renewable, clean and alternative, is a trillion dollar industry according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance
The premium domain name aftermarket has seen a double-digit increase in median sale prices over the course of the last year and sales in more than 160 countries worldwide.
Premium Geo Domain Facts and Figures:
Britain.com sold for USD $1M in 2000
Korea.com sold for USD $5M in 2000
International tourism has seen 4% year-over-year growth and is a USD $1B-plus industry as many Geo city and country names are used in some capacity to attract visitors.
The largest known geo .COM sale in 2012 was Denver.com for an undisclosed mid seven-figure price
The Big 5 International Building and Construction Show opens on Monday November 5 and lasts for four days. The event will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The United Arab Emirates accounts for nearly USD $7 billion of the USD $4.2 trillion in ongoing construction projects in the region, and is a fitting locale for the show, which offers attendees access to panels and discussions with the world?s foremost authorities in the building and construction sector.
Domain Holdings will also be represented at ADIPEC from November 11-14, ADIPEC is the largest oil and gas exhibition in the Middle East. Organized by the Energy Group and the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the four-day event offers conference attendees presentations, panel discussions and plenary sessions from some of the top oil and gas companies in the world. The event draws more than 1,500 applicants in 58 different countries. The focus of ADIPEC 2012 is ?Sustainable Energy Growth: People, Responsibility and Innovation? and will take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center.

ASUS, Google offer monetary compenstation for Nexus 7 tablets bought before price drop
Bought yourself a shiny new Nexus 7 just before the priced dropped on October 29th and feel a bit slighted? ASUS and Google want to turn your frown upside down, each offering their own compensation. Folks in Europe who purchased any variant of the tablet from ASUS prior to October 30th are eligible to a redeem a 25-pound or 30-euro coupon for its online shop. Apparently, the deal has been in place since October 30th, and you'll have until the 30th of this month to submit your proof of purchase (from sanctioned dealers, naturally) and apply. Sure, it may not be as nice as a Google Play credit for apps or cash in-pocket, but at least ASUS is showing it can share at least some love for early adopters. Europeans should move their cursors over to the ASUS source link below for all the details.
Tracking back to Google, Droid-Life notes that Google's price protection policy might have you covered for some cash-back, as well. If you purchased the 16GB model from Google Play between the 14th and the 29th of October, you have until about the 13th of this month to get a refund for the price difference (15 days from the initial price drop). As always, check out the Google link below for more details.

Human disease modeled in an organ-on-a-chip; 'Lung-on-a-chip' sets stage for next wave of research to replace animal testing
ScienceDaily (Nov. 7, 2012) ? Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have mimicked pulmonary edema in a microchip lined by living human cells, as reported November 7 in the journal Science Translation Medicine. They used this "lung-on-a-chip" to study drug toxicity and identify potential new therapies to prevent this life-threatening condition.
The study offers further proof-of-concept that human "organs-on-chips" hold tremendous potential to replace traditional approaches to drug discovery and development.
"Major pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of time and a huge amount of money on cell cultures and animal testing to develop new drugs," says Donald Ingber, M.D., Ph.D., founding director of the Wyss Institute and senior author of the study, "but these methods often fail to predict the effects of these agents when they reach humans."
The lung-on-a-chip device, which the team first described only two years ago, is a crystal clear, flexible polymer about the size of a memory stick that contains hollow channels fabricated using computer microchip manufacturing techniques. Two of the channels are separated by a thin, flexible, porous membrane that on one side is lined with human lung cells from the air sac and exposed to air; human capillary blood cells are placed on the other side with medium flowing over their surface. A vacuum applied to side channels deforms this tissue-tissue interface to re-create the way human lung tissues physically expand and retract when breathing.
Wyss Technology Development Fellow Dongeun Huh, Ph.D., who also holds appointments at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, studied a cancer chemotherapy drug called interleukin-2 -- or IL-2 for short -- in the lung-on-a-chip. A major toxic side effect of IL-2 is pulmonary edema, which is a deadly condition in which the lungs fill with fluid and blood clots.
When IL-2 was injected into the blood channel of the lung-on-a-chip, fluid leaked across the membrane and two tissue layers, reducing the volume of air in the other channel and compromising oxygen transport -- just as it does in lungs of human patients when it is administered at the equivalent doses and over the same time course. Blood plasma proteins also crossed into the air channel, leading to the formation of blood clots in the air space, as they do in humans treated with IL-2.
But one result came as a surprise.
It turns out the physical act of breathing greatly enhances the effects of IL-2 in pulmonary edema -- "something that clinicians and scientists never suspected before," Ingber says. When the team turned on the vacuum attached to the chip to simulate breathing, it increased fluid leakage more than three-fold when treated with the clinically relevant IL-2 dose, and the Wyss team confirmed that the same response occurs in an animal model of pulmonary edema. This result could suggest that doctors treating patients on a respirator with IL-2 should reduce the tidal volume of air being pushed into the lungs, for example, in order to minimize the negative side effects of this drug.
Most exciting for the future of drug testing was the Wyss team's finding that "this on-chip model of human pulmonary edema can be used to identify new potential therapeutic agents in vitro," Ingber says. The pulmonary edema symptoms in the lung-on-a-chip disease model could be prevented by treating the tissues with a new class of drug, a transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel blocker, under development by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). In a separate study published by the GSK team in the same issue of Science Translation Medicine, the beneficial effects of TRPV4 inhibition in reducing pulmonary edema were independently validated using animal models of pulmonary edema caused by heart failure.
"In just a little more than two years, we've gone from unveiling the initial design of the lung-on-a-chip to demonstrating its potential to model a complex human disease, which we believe provides a glimpse of what drug discovery and development might look like in the future," Ingber says.
The cross-disciplinary, multi-institutional team that was led by Ingber and Huh also included Wyss Postdoctoral Fellow Daniel Leslie, Ph.D.; Benjamin Matthews, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics in the Vascular Biology Program at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School; Wyss Institute Researcher Jacob Fraser; Samuel Jurek, a researcher at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School; Senior Wyss Staff Scientist Geraldine Hamilton, Ph.D.; and Senior Scientific Investigator Kevin Thorneloe, Ph.D., and Investigator M. Allen McAlexander from GlaxoSmithKline. Ingber is also the Judah Folkman Professor of Vascular Biology at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital, and Professor of Bioengineering at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
"Organs-on-a-chip represents a new approach to model the structure, biology, and function of human organs, as evidenced by the complex breathing action of this engineered lung. This breathing action was key to providing new insight into the etiology of pulmonary edema," said Dr. James M. Anderson, M.D., Ph.D., director of the NIH Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives that provided partial support for this research through the Common Fund's Regulatory Science program. "These results provide support for the broader use of such microsystems in studying disease pathology and hopefully for identifying new therapeutic targets."
The work was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University.

New drug target found for cystic fibrosis lung disease
ScienceDaily (Nov. 7, 2012) ? Vancouver researchers have discovered the cellular pathway that causes lung-damaging inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF), and that reducing the pathway's activity also decreases inflammation. The finding offers a potential new drug target for treating CF lung disease, which is a major cause of illness and death for people with CF.
"Developing new drugs that target lung inflammation would be a big step forward," says Dr. Stuart Turvey, who led the research. Dr. Turvey is the director of clinical research and senior clinician scientist at the Child & Family Research Institute and a pediatric immunologist at BC Children's Hospital. He is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia.
The research was published online last week in the Journal of Immunology.
For the study, researchers compared the immune response of normal lung cells with that of CF lung cells after exposing both types of cells to bacteria in the lab. In healthy cells, exposure to bacteria triggers the cell to secrete special molecules that attract immune cells to fight the infection.
In CF lung cells, the researchers discovered that a series of molecular events called the unfolded protein response is more highly activated. It causes the CF lung cells to secrete more molecules that attract an excessive amount of immune cells, which leads to increased inflammation.
They also found that treating the CF cells with a special chemical normalized the unfolded protein response and stabilized the cells' immune response.
CF is the most common genetic disease affecting young Canadians. One in every 3600 children born in Canada has CF. There is no cure. A build-up of mucus in the lungs causes people with CF to be susceptible to bacterial lung infections, which trigger inflammation and swelling. Over time, the recurring cycle of infections and inflammation damages the lungs and can lead to the need for lung transplantation. The only treatments for lung inflammation are steroids and anti-inflammatory medications, which can have significant side effects.
The researchers are planning further study to validate these findings in a larger number of lung cell samples from people with CF.
This discovery resulted from a collaboration among Vancouver investigators and trainees based at the Child & Family Research Institute at BC Children's Hospital, the University of British Columbia, and the Providence Heart + Lung Institute at St. Paul's Hospital.
This research was funded by Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research.
