Company officials say the new approach will help foster repeat business for local communities in Baltimore. "Our goal is provide local deals which are truly local," Trevian Mathis, president and CEO of the Baltimore-based company explains. Gone are the days of having to travel 20 minutes or more to find great deals.
Locate Baltimore's Zero Transaction fee policy will be especially enticing to merchants. The company offers merchants a chance to sell their products without incurring exorbitant costs. The only fee merchants will incur will be that of the reasonable advertising pay scale, all of which will be charged on a month-to-month basis.
"This is arguably one of the most unique developments in group sites; one which brings in a very bright future for marketing businesses in local areas," adds Frank Turner, Jr., who leads the research and development department.
In the perspective of local merchants, the website offers deals which are hyper- localized with a wide access of Baltimore's market. Advertising with Locate Baltimore is an ideal way for merchants to acquire customer loyalty. The marketing approach taken by the company is pro-community. In other words it gives locals, both merchants and consumers, a chance to earn and benefit from its innovative edge.

Tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea have intensified due to earlier monsoon onset
2012-09-24
The tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea during the pre-monsoon season (May – June) have intensified since 1997 compared to 1979 - 1997. This has been attributed to decreased vertical wind shear due to the dimming effects of increased anthropogenic black carbon and sulfate emissions in the region. The decrease in vertical wind shear, however, is not the result of these emissions, but due to a 15-day on average earlier occurrence of tropical cyclones, according to a study spearheaded by Bin Wang at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa ...
Discovery may shed light on why some HIV-positive patients have more virus
2012-09-24
Biologists at UC San Diego have unraveled the anti-viral mechanism of a human gene that may explain why some people infected with HIV have much higher amounts of virus in their bloodstreams than others.
Their findings, detailed in a paper in this week's advance online issue of the journal Nature, could also shed light on the mystery of why some people with HIV never develop symptoms of AIDS.
The biologists found that a gene called Human Schlafen 11 produces a protein that inhibits the replication of HIV in infected human cells by blocking the ability of the host cell ...
Large bacterial population colonized land 2.75 billion years ago
2012-09-24
There is evidence that some microbial life had migrated from the Earth's oceans to land by 2.75 billion years ago, though many scientists believe such land-based life was limited because the ozone layer that shields against ultraviolet radiation did not form until hundreds of millions years later.
But new research from the University of Washington suggests that early microbes might have been widespread on land, producing oxygen and weathering pyrite, an iron sulfide mineral, which released sulfur and molybdenum into the oceans.
"This shows that life didn't just exist ...
New chemistry technique from the Scripps Research Institute reproduces nature's elusive complexity
2012-09-24
LA JOLLA, CA – September 23, 2012 – Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have shown how to synthesize in the laboratory an important set of natural compounds known as terpenes. The largest class of chemicals made by living organisms, terpenes are made within cells by some of the most complex chemical reactions found in biology.
The new technique, described in an advance online edition of the journal Nature Chemistry on September 23, 2012, mimics a crucial but obscure biochemical phenomenon that allows cells to make terpenes. The discovery may one day result in ...
Understanding the brain by controlling behavior
2012-09-24
In the quest to understand how the brain turns sensory input into behavior, Harvard scientists have crossed a major threshold. Using precisely-targeted lasers, researchers have been able to take over an animal's brain, instruct it to turn in any direction they choose, and even to implant false sensory information, fooling the animal into thinking food was nearby.
As described in a September 23 paper published in Nature, a team made up of Sharad Ramanathan, an Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and of Applied Physics, Askin Kocabas, a Post-Doctoral ...
Scientists predict major shifts in Pacific ecosystems by 2100
2012-09-24
What if you woke up every day to find that the closest grocery store had moved several miles farther away from your home? Over time, you would have to travel hundreds of extra miles to find essential food for yourself and your family. This is potentially a scenario faced by thousands of marine animals affected by climate change.
A new study published in Nature Climate Change examines the distribution of various open ocean animals in the North Pacific and explores how that could change over the next century as global ocean temperatures increase and productivity levels ...
Preterm birth of mother increases risk of pregnancy complications
2012-09-24
Women who were born preterm are at increased risk of complications during pregnancy compared to those born at term, and the risk almost doubles for mothers born before 32 weeks, according to a study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
Pregnancy complications include gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia or eclampsia.
The findings are based on a study of 7405 women born preterm and 16 714 women born at term between 1976 and 1995 in the province of Quebec. Of the preterm women, 554 were less than 32 weeks at birth and 6851 were at ...
What does the feminization of family medicine mean?
2012-09-24
With more women in family medicine in Canada, what does this mean for the specialty and the profession, for patients and for society, asks a Salon opinion piece in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).
Female family physicians (FPs) now outnumber males, with 50.6% of the profession now female; this trend will continue as older, mainly male, physicians retire. These changing demographics will have implications for the way medicine is practised and for patients. Female FPs practise differently than men, working fewer hours (47 v. 52), seeing fewer patients but with ...
