Grocery list: milk, bread, QuickMedx
Article Abstract:
QuickMedx is a Minneapolis, MN-based start-up company that has opened small in-store kiosks in local groceries where people can consult a nurse for minor helath conditions for a fee of $30. The company is scheduled to open seven centers in the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN, by the end of Jan 2001. These centers seek to lure cash-paying patients away from crowded doctors' officies and HMO clinics with the promise of quick service for relatively minor conditions, such as colds and ear infections.

Priceline.com's stock gets pumped up
Article Abstract:
Online retailer Priceline.com's stock price has increased by 100%. This development is contrary to the decline that other online retailers such as e-retailing king Amazon.com, Autobytel and E-Trade are experiencing. The factors contributing to the rocketing stock price include new ventures that use its name-your-own-price bidding system and its almost limitless scale of products and services.
