The 2011 Infiniti M's completely redesigned body offers authentic sports sedan proportions and evocative new styling with a low front end and deeply sculpted fenders. Inside, the new M's interior is pure Infiniti, combining vibrant, Japanese-influenced design, luxury materials and amenities and premium entertainment systems with driver-oriented sports seating and controls.
The new Infiniti M continues its predecessor's tradition of offering an array of advanced technology systems, including Active Noise Control, an innovative Forest Air(TM) climate control system, "Infiniti Drive" selectable drive mode control, Active Trace Control, Eco Pedal and enhanced Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System. The Infiniti M also introduces the new Blind Spot Intervention(TM) (BSI) System, a world's first system that alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected in the blind spot area and helps return the vehicle back toward the center of the lane of travel away from the other vehicle.
"The 2011 Infiniti M embodies all of our best thinking, design and quality to date," said Ben Poore, vice president, Infiniti Business Unit. "It's a truly inspired design offering invigorating performance, luxurious comfort and the highest levels of craftsmanship and style ever offered in an Infiniti."
Other available 2011 Infiniti M features include a Bose® 2-channel 10-speaker premium audio system or Bose® Studio Surround® sound system with digital 5.1-channel decoding and 16 speakers (including two personal speakers mounted in the shoulders of each front seat), heated steering wheel, climate-controlled front seats, semi-aniline leather and genuine White Ash wood trim that has been enhanced with real silver powder.
Also making its debut today was the revised 2010 Infiniti G37 Sedan, which goes on sale December 17th at Infiniti retailers nationwide. The G Sedan features a new front exterior design, refined interior treatment and enhanced technology, including an advanced Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System. The Infiniti G37 Coupe and G37 Convertible also receive interior and technology refinements for the 2010 model year. The G Coupe also goes on sale this month, with the G Convertible scheduled for an early February 2010 release.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A scientist who broadened the understanding of how we experience pain -- and ways we can control and relieve it -- has won the 2010 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Psychology.
Ronald Melzack, psychology professor emeritus at McGill University in Montreal, was selected for the award from among 24 nominations.
People feel pain not at the point of injury but instead in their brain through a pathway that travels through the spine, Melzack proposed. His "gate control" theory of pain suggests people can change or control their suffering by using emotional and personal processes to block, increase or decrease the feeling of pain.
Building on that 1965 theory, he concluded that pain is subjective and multidimensional because several parts of the brain contribute to it at the same time.
Melzack's studies have led to innovative treatments for people who feel chronic, incessant pain. Patients now are taught to manage pain by redirecting their focus through techniques such as meditation and distraction.
"His work produced a major change in how scientists and physicians think about pain and made psychology an integral part of pain research and therapy," said Woody Petry, a UofL psychological and brain sciences professor who directs the psychology award.
Melzack also examined the "phantom limb" pain often experienced by amputees. He found that the neural network we are born with generates our perception of body, self and experience -- even that of pain in the absence of injury.
In another project, Melzack and a colleague developed the McGill Pain Questionnaire which measures the sensory and emotional aspects of pain rather than merely assigning a number to how badly it hurts. The questionnaire's short form has been translated into 57 languages and is widely used in clinical research.
Melzack was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame this year after winning numerous awards from groups including the Canadian Psychological Association, Canadian Pain Society, Canada Council for the Arts, American Academy of Pain Management and American Society of Regional Anesthesia.
Five Grawemeyer Awards are presented annually for outstanding works in music composition, ideas improving world order, psychology, education and religion. Winners of the other 2010 Grawemeyer Awards also are being announced this week.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/01/09 -- OneMove Technologies Inc. ("OneMove" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: OM), which provides a leading web-based real estate transaction platform, today announces it has expanded its econveyance certification training program to include students enrolled in the legal assistant course at Vancouver Community College ("VCC").
"The integration of the econveyance certification program into the VCC curriculum further demonstrates how our technology platform is becoming the industry standard for conveyance professionals," said Martin Johnson, President and CEO, OneMove. "With the rate of adoption of firms using our software we are pleased to have the students of VCC be part of this educational initiative providing them with an additional skill set and better preparing them for entry into the British Columbia real estate industry."
OneMove is already offering its certification program in other colleges within British Columbia, and the Company anticipates that, soon, every graduating student from legal assistant programs throughout the province will want to be "econveyance certified". The credentials offered through the program equip students with practical experience in the use of econveyance and provides an edge in today's competitive job market.

The corresponding transactional revenue was $179K compared to $130K, an increase of 37%. Similarly, in November 2009 the transactional volume was 5,887 compared to 3,382 in November 2008, an increase of 74%. The transactional revenue was $175K compared to $99K, an increase of 77%.
"The Company's recently released enhanced version of the platform, econveyancePro, is used by over 2100 professionals within the 352 firms making it the largest network of conveyancing professionals of its kind," says Johnson. "Having VCC join other institutions in the province certifying their students will further cement our role in the community moving forward. We know that the market has returned to new highs and firms are actively looking to increase their productive capacity by hiring bright new employees familiar with our technology."
The TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing the Company's proposal to issue 297,440 shares to settle outstanding debt for $14,922. The Company proposal was to issue the shares in lieu of unpaid or accrued compensation of $14,922 to certain employees for the period June 16, 2009 to October 31, 2009. 148,940 shares are to be issued to an officer of the Company and the balance to other employees.
