What Company Is Offering:
Lab21 is a global provider of state-of-the-art diagnostic products and services, supporting drug discovery and healthcare. Its customers include healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
The Company has a growing test portfolio providing companion diagnostics and high technology assays for the growing integration of personalised medicine into healthcare. These services and products are currently in infectious diseases, oncology and pharmacogenetics areas with emerging interests in cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
Lab21's clinical reference laboratory and corporate office is based in Cambridge, UK and the Company's investors include Merlin Biosciences and Kreos Capital
How Much They Got From VCs:
Lab21, a specialist diagnostic services and products healthcare company is pleased to announce that it has closed a £2.2m round of financing from leading international private equity investors. The new funds will be used to progress its acquisition plan and to establish its US operations in South Carolina to expand its presence in the North American market.
Graham Mullis, CEO of Lab21 commented: “Given the very difficult financial markets of the past 6 months, I am delighted to welcome two new investors to Lab21 which is a significant endorsement to the growth strategy of Lab21. With new capital, we anticipate closing a number of company acquisitions. This investment will also allow Lab21 to commence its expansion plans overseas where we believe our brand and strong focus on quality and service will be well received”.
Nexus Medical Partners, based in Boston and South Carolina, USA and Rowan Dartington of the UK join Merlin Biosciences and Kreos capital as shareholders. Maddy Kennedy, CFO Lab21 explained: “I am pleased to be working with investors who understand healthcare markets and diagnostics specifically. Merlin Biosciences, now part of the Excalibur Group have continued to support Lab21 and advised the Company with this finance round. We are also delighted that Dr Ed Snape, who is co-founder and head of the healthcare practice at Nexus Medical Partners has agreed to join the Board of Lab21”
Dr Snape commented: “I am pleased to accept the Board position at Lab21 and support the establishment of its South Carolina operations to facilitate its entry into the US market. The diagnostic market is changing rapidly and Lab21 is well placed with its management and product portfolio to be a serious consolidator in the sector. Lab21’s business model which combines the technology and distribution capabilities of both a service provider and product developer makes for an exciting investment opportunity.”
Jonathan Beatson-Hird, Managing Director of Rowan Dartington and also fund manager for the Isambard Fund, said: “Our strategy has been to build our investment portfolio around three sectors, one of which is the In vitro diagnostics market. This is a dynamic industry displaying strong defensive characteristics. We are delighted to be able to invest in Lab 21 which is a core holding for us. We believe that the current economic environment is ideal for the corporate strategy of consolidation and with their state of the art products and services makes the company well positioned for growth in these uncertain times.”
The Company will not reveal details of its acquisition plans and US market strategy today but expects to complete on two European company acquisitions during H1 next year.

BaiscState---Site Monitoring Service
What Company Is Offering:
The free uptime monitoring service monitors http and https services. You can have alerts sent to any email address. Just set up an additional alert recipient using the email address provided by your cell phone or pager service provider. To find out if free email access to your sms phone or pager is available, check with your service provider. You can also check this list of carrier free email to sms address formats If this facility is not available through your carrier, receiving sms alerts will require arranging sms credits with us.
There is no software to install and it makes no difference if you are running Apache, IIS, Sun or Zeus. All of the software runs on our servers. All a subscriber needs is a web browser to access the control panel and a way of receiving email or sms alerts.
Individual sites are tested at 15 minute intervals. Public interest e-commerce sites are tested at 5 minute intervals. If a failure is detected, the monitoring frequency is set to every minute until the failure is resolved.
Internal monitors can give you very fine grained detail of the inner workings of your servers and internal network. The problem is that it can mask network problems outside of the local network. Internal monitors are also usually unable to send alerts if the the monitoring server or internal network fails.
The goal of public facing web sites is to make sure that the site is available at all times to external users. External monitoring is best suited to ensuring that this goal is met because it uses external access routes just like external users and are independent of the facilities being measured.
Furthermore, as an independent data source, it is useful in discussing service difficulties with network and hosting providers.

New Finders Service For Businesses And Persons
What Company Is Offering:
High Roller Toys introduces an innovative new Finders service for businesses and persons. The Finders service finds or locates anything imaginable – anything that can be bought or sold. Further, no finding request is too small or too large.
How It Works:
The service locates anything that they may desire to find, including unusual items, oil, desirable real estate, petroleum, machinery, aircraft, antiques, baseball cards, clients, money (funding for this, that, whatever), used and rare books, foodstuffs, rare metals, classic cars and more.

Referral Key ---Exchange Business Referral
What Company Is Offering:
Referral Key is an on-line referral management system. It supports your referral marketing activities in one place, with minimal effort and maximum results.
How It Works:
An associates must first "accept" your invitation before you can send them a referral lead. You can determine the status of an invitation by selecting "My Referral Associates". Under each associates name it will indicate their status. If the status is "invited", the associate has not yet accepted your invitation. If the status is "declined" the associate has declined your offer to exchange referrals.
Associates receive a personalized email invitation from you asking them if they would like to accept your invitation to exchange referrals with you. Since many of the people you send invitations to know and trust you, there is a strong likelihood they will accept your invitations. The invitation sends a clear message that you are serious about exchanging referrals with your associate, and that help strengthen and solidify your bond with them. Once a referral associate accepts your invitation to exchange referrals, they are walked through a brief overview and are able to exchange referrals with you in just minutes. When the opportunity arises to refer business, the user simply logs on, includes a brief note about the referral, provides the referrals contact information, and Referral Key takes care of the rest by emailing the contact information of the person being referred and logging the referral in both the sender's and recipient's account. The result is a web-enabled closed loop where you now have a timely, qualified lead from a trusted associate and a much higher probability of converting these leads into actual revenue. Every step, from initiating a referral to following up is automatically tracked with its service.

Find Internet TV is a one-stop-shop for live content
What Company Is Offering:
Find Internet TV is a growing one-stop-shop for locating sites broadcasting video online by providing a feature-rich directory and program Listings for live content. Unlike other sites that search and show video clips on their site, Find Internet TV finds, categorizes, tags, and lists sites that show live and on-demand video. One may be able to find a 2 minute clip of Desperate Housewives or a NFL highlight on a video aggregating website, but they won't know where to watch it live or in full length and miss out on the special features broadcasting sites provide.
The Find Internet TV directory includes sites broadcasting from all over the world, in different languages, and in different time zones. Sites listed in our directory range from large media networks such as ESPN, Discovery, NBC to user-generated video blogs such as Lost in Baghdad, HotRoast, and Wallstrip to niche sites such as CurlTV, VeggieVision, and DrinksTV.
Sites are categorized by country, category, stream type and language. Users can select from these to browse through the index or search by keywords, last added, highest rated, or most viewed.
How It Works:
Users can save their sites to a favorites list, see what other members are watching, rate and comment on sites. Find Internet TV's program Listings and calendar of live events keeps users informed of what's showing online such as concerts and sports tournaments. Users have the ability to jump hour-by-hour through the grid or to specific dates and times. To provide the best end-user experience, the site automatically adjusts all program runtimes to match the viewer's time zone.
Content providers will benefit from the directory and program Listings through increased visibility of their programming. Users that click to view the programming are sent directly to the content provider's Web site and, in many cases, to the video landing page. Content providers who offer live programming can easily maintain their listing by authorized representatives via a backend application.

Global Domain Industry Is Expected To Increase To $5.3 billion by 2011
MAP Research's results show that by the end of 2008, the overall industry will have a market value of $3.6 billion (all figures in $US), forecast to increase to $5.3 billion by 2011.
According to the report, whilst the overall market size of the global domain industry is expected to increase over the next three years, growth will be at a slower rate than previous years and a drop in average revenue per domain is forecast.
And although growth in global top-level domains (ie .com and .net) will slow, growth in country code top-level domains (ie .au and .uk) is expected to increase in developing countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC nations).
The research also predicts trends in the domain industry such as consolidation to gain market share; a growing emphasis on bundling services; growth in demand for 'domain parking'; growth of mobile internet and .mobi; and a new internet provider platform, IPv6, dramatically increasing the number of available domain names.
``Domain registrars are now becoming 'one-stop-shop' service providers, offering their customers variety of services such as domain registration, domain management, web hosting and domain resale,'' said Marco Marcou, MAP Research Director.
``With the contractions of the top-level market, many of the global domain registrars are diversifying their revenue base by providing a number of related value added services to the provision of domain registration,'' he added.
``These additional services are increasingly being bundled with domain registration and include web hosting, domain parking, pay-per-click advertising and selling domain portfolios,'' said Marcou.

Action Method Online is a radically different approach to productivity, designed to simplify project management and life
What Company Is Offering:
Action Method Online is a radically different approach to productivity, designed to simplify project management and life.
All of life can be divided into "projects" - the categories we use in our minds to separate and make sense of what we need to accomplish (e.g. "the party I'm planning," "client X," "event Y," "finances"). The Action Method helps you manage your projects starting with the most basic elements - always with an emphasis on action.
Unique Features:
Action Steps
Action Steps are tasks that need to be completed. Each Action Step should start with a verb: "Call Y," "Follow up with X," "Buy a gift for Z."
References
References are notes, links, files, sketches - any information related to a project that gives context to your Action Steps.
Backburners
Backburners are the brilliant ideas that you want to come back to later, but are not yet actionable.
Discussions
Discussions enable you to manage ongoing conversations across all of your projects with anyone that works with you. All relevant communications (shared documents, solutions to problems, feedback, decisions) are in one place.
Events
Events are the key occasions/meetings/milestones/etc toward which you (and your team) are working. Events can be used to coordinate deadlines for Action Steps.

Run Country As Running Corporate Business..
Let us run it like a big corporate business with all ministries as departments and citizens as its customers. Yes, the citizens would be customers to this business, they would be consumers of goods, products and services offered by this corporate and they will pay us in form of tax.
As a CEO of this corporate, I would treat each task a project and the ministers would be appointed as project managers, it will project manager’s duty to come up with deliverables, schedule and cost this project. I must add here for all projects there must be a stakeholder who are subject matter experts and are chosen from normal citizens. The project manager has to run the project within given resources, which he agreed upon in the beginning and deliver it within schedule with exact deliverables. If any of the said criterions does not match the project is a failure and so is the project manager.
Just like a corporate has different departments, security, maintenance, finance, research and development, marketing, HR, etc, I would have all of them and they all work in tandem with a common goal, goal of making this business no 1. All of us working for this business has to remember that we here because of our customers, the citizens of this country.
Also I would make sure that my customers also respect their rights and they behave within prescribed limits as guarded by our constitution. I would grade my customers on basis of their performance and ethical behavior, if they behave good, they will get good and vice versa, which is more important. If my customers are unhappy about the road conditions then they have to follow traffic rules before they complain.
