Coding a preoperative visit
What CPT code should be used for proper coding of a preoperative visit, and does the place of service (office vs. hospital) make a difference?
Family physicians do most of these services at the request of a surgeon, who is usually seeking the family physician's opinion on whether the patient is fit for surgery. If you document this request in the patient's medical record (e.g., "Ms. Jones seen at the request of Dr. Smith, who is requesting preoperative clearance due to X") and provide a written report to the requesting surgeon, you should be able to report these preoperative visits using a consultation code. If the service is done in the office, use an office consultation code (99241–99245); if it is provided in the hospital, use an initial inpatient consultation code (99251–99255). In either case, choose the level of service based on the level of history, exam and medical decision making involved, since all three key components must be met to code a given level of consultation. [For more information, see "Medicare Clarifies Preoperative Services Reimbursement Policy," FPM, September 2001, page 16.]
Coding group medical visits
What code(s) should I submit for group medical visits?
The CPT Editorial Panel advises coding group medical visits using 99499, "Unlisted evaluation and management (E/M) service," since no specific CPT codes exist for this service. Some practices that use group medical visits have coded these encounters with traditional office visit codes (99201–99215). However, doing so may be considered fraudulent by Medicare and other payers, since these codes have traditionally described individual encounters. "Group medical visits" are distinct from other kinds of group encounters referenced in CPT, such as group psychotherapy (90846–90857) and group preventive medicine counseling (99411–99412).
CPT code for the rapid flu test
What CPT code should I submit for the rapid flu test?
If you are billing for the procedure in which you take a respiratory sample (e.g., throat or nasal swab, nasal aspirate or sputum) and do the rapid test, you should submit 87804, "Infectious agent antigen detection by immunoassay with direct optical observation; Influenza." This is a new code that went into effect Jan. 1, 2002. However, if you are using some other source (e.g., culture material) or technique, which would not generally be considered a "rapid" flu test, you should submit a different code, such as 87400, "Infectious agent antigen detection by enzyme immunoassay technique, qualitative or semiquantitative, multiple step method; Influenza, A or B, each."
ICD-9 code for sports physicals
What ICD-9 code should be used for sports physicals?
V70.3, "Other medical examination for administrative purposes," includes general medical examinations for sports competition.
Manipulation & E/M
If a patient presents with back pain and the physician does an evaluation and an osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), can he or she code for the OMT and an E/M service?
Yes. In the notes preceding the OMT codes (98925–98929), CPT states: "[E/M] services may be reported separately, using the modifier -25, if the patient's condition requires a significant, separately identifiable E/M service, above and beyond the usual preservice and post-service work associated with the procedure. The E/M service may be caused or prompted by the same symptoms or condition for which the OMT service was provided. As such, different diagnoses are not required for the reporting of the OMT and E/M service on the same date."
Editor's note: While this department attempts to provide accurate information and useful advice, third-party payers may not accept the coding and documentation recommended. You should refer to the current CPT and ICD-9 manuals and the "Documentation Guidelines for Evaluation and Management Services" for the most detailed and up-to-date information.
Send questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com, or add your comments below. While this department attempts to provide accurate information, some payers may not accept the advice given. Refer to the current CPT and ICD-10 coding manuals and payer policies.

More old water ideas are becoming new water ideas, including one that would supply Southern California with water pumped through aquifers underneath the Mojave Desert.
Last week, water developer Cadiz Inc. said it reached a 99-year lease with Arizona & California Railroad Co.'s right-of-way for an underground pipeline.
When-if completed, the pipeline would transport excess Colorado River water 30 miles from the California Aqueduct to the Cadiz aquifer, allowing the company to supply up to 49 billion gallons to Southern California consumers. It's similar to a plan ultimately rejected several years ago by the behemoth Metropolitan Water District, which serves much of the Los Angeles area. This time around, amid a brutal drought and reduced pumpings through the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta, the San Diego Water Authority is expressing support for the project.
In making the announcement Cadiz Inc. said the original plan was "designed to alleviate concerns raised by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D- CA), and it will maintain those principle objectives: protect the desert environment in and surrounding the Project area, ensure groundwater quality, and maintain the long-term yield and storage capacity of the aquifer system."
Feinstein is no stranger to big water projects. She supports additional surface storage (read: reservoirs and dams) in California and she stood with Gov. Schwarzenegger in proposing a $9 billion-plus water bond for such projects, as well as recycling and some kind of improved "conveyance" system for routing water around the failing Delta, the hub of the state's water system.
However, in a striking letter to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne, Feinstein said she found the Cadiz Valley Dry-Year Supply Project "very troubling." Specifically, Feinstein questioned whether the project would result in over pumping of the aquifer (whose supply of water has built up over millions of years), which could damage local habitats. What's more, Feinstein said the water may not be adequately "recharged" to the aquifer, particularly with some climate models comparing the Southwest of the not-too-distant future with the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
Feinstein said she plans to hold a Senate hearing on the matter, and will ask Kempthorne to testify.

I am proud to say that I did NOT meet Diva girl at school today! Yay me!
I did a drive by instead!
Listen, I never said I was perfect!
I was happy to see her safe and sound standing beside a teacher waiting to go inside. So I just kept on driving.
All was good in my world…until she came home and told me that one of the kids on the bus hit her! GRRR!
Apparently when she was standing with the teacher it was because she had been crying and just finished telling her what happened. In my efforts to be discreet, I didn't see her tears.
How could I not have seen them? I feel like the worst mom in the world right now.
But tomorrow I will be speaking with the bus driver and the school.
Unhappy mom signing off.

A nice alternative in the fall to pumpkin cookies or bread. Here's what I did: took my favorite brownie mix (see below).
Made brownies and added chocolate chips to the batter. Made a basic cream cheese frosting (1 pkg cream cheese, 1 stick butter, lots of powdered sugar) and then added pureed pumpkin.

Preloaded d-grip bougie use caution
There is great benefit to simplifying a process to minimize adverse events and improve success. Airway management involves a complex series of tasks and decisions. Bougie use has proven to be a simple and effective adjunct in the difficult laryngoscopy & intubation scenario. Some advocate using it for every intubation to maintain this important skill and manage partial views of the glottic inlet. In this situation its smaller caliber allows for easy passage often with a direct view. However classically it is taught to be an adjunct where there is no view of the glottic inlet but the epiglottis is in-sight and preferably partially lifted away from the posterior pharyngeal wall (CL grade 3a). Here, bougie passage is blind and feedback of correct placement may occur with the sensation of tracheal clicks but more reliably by the sensation of distal hold-up, usually in the right mainstem bronchus at a point where the airway caliber approaches the diameter of the bougie. This distal hold-up occurs at ~ 30 cm +/- 5 cm in the adult. It should be reached by gentle forward placement of the bougie then once achieved the bougie should be pulled back 2-3 cm and stabilized for placement of the ETT.
There has been concern that hold-up causes trauma and clicks are reliable enough as an endpoint. Experience (as opposed to evidence) would suggest otherwise and clicks while reliable in the calm hands of some is not as reliable as distal hold-up especially in the scenario of managing a difficult airway in an emergency/critical care setting. Fine motor control is lost with stress induced heart rates of >115 and most humans will have a HR exceeding this threshold in this situation.
We suggest using clicks as a supplementary endpoint only when a partial view of the glottis is visualized.
So what does this have to do with the d-grip, which involves a preloaded bougie curled back so that the proximal end of the bougie is temporarily secured through the Murphy eye of the ETT. This allows single operator use of the bougie to intubate and simplifies the process for the user. However it also promotes a non-hold-up approach to bougie use relying on clicks for correct placement. When the bougie is prelaoded with a conventional ETT, folding it using a d-grip effectively shortens the bougie to a maximum length of 30 cm. Maximum meaning it will often be even shorter because of the natural tendency of the ETT to slide on the folded bougie exposing even less of the bougie. The shortening prevents the d-grip held bougie from reaching its potential hold-up endpoint. While it may be 'released' to avoid this, the ETT is already being committed to an unknown destination and in addition there may be false positive hold-up as the ETT hits right sided paraglottic structures.
Hard to visualize so check out the video. If you believe in the d-grip and still think its useful just be cautious of these potential serious limitations.

Mobile Deluxe is launching its Big Win Blackjack game today on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. In any other time, that wouldn't be very exciting, and game developers would scoff at it.
But anything that has to do with online casino games these days is hot, and it might be possible for Mobile Deluxe to cash in on this trend. By layering a new business model (free-to-play games where users play for free and pay real money for virtual goods such as casino chips) and a new broad-reach platform (Apple's iOS), casino game makers are going through a renewal.
Stranger things have happened. Who would have thought, for instance, that a social poker game would put Zynga on the path to a billion-dollar initial public offering and a $10 billion valuation? And the Justice Department's reinterpretation of a law in December paved the way for the legalization of online gambling. That pumped up Zynga's stock and led to some interesting deals, such as International Gaming Technology's $500 million purchase of Facebook casino game maker Double Down Interactive.
Mobile Deluxe, based in Santa Monica, Calif., has been making games since 2003 and has grown to 30 employees without any outside money. The Big Win Blackjack game is a free-to-play title with touchscreen controls and tournament play. Players can take on multiple hands at a time, and the app teaches you how to improve your skills. With the Professor Blackjack mode, for example, you can learn the basics of the game and how to count cards.
"With Big Win Blackjack, we've created a game that will captivate the most experienced players and those playing for the first time," said Josh Hartwell, the company's chief executive. "It teaches users everything they need to know about the game with premium graphics and fluid game play."
The casino is ad-sponsored. Players can spend real money on additional chips and pay their way into high-limit rooms. Mobile Deluxe's Solitaire Deluxe game has been downloaded 6 million times.
Game developers can laugh at this simpleton game creation. And there are tons of rivals out there, all of them copying each other in some fashion. On mobile platforms, Playtika has risen to prominence with Slotomania, and FishSticks Games has gathered an audience for Slots Journey.
But what if Mobile Deluxe uses this casino game frenzy to earn itself a big valuation and then climb up the food chain, using the casino game money to finance higher value games? Who would be laughing then?

Planning for Victory
I'm reminded of the passage from Booby Woody's book when after "winning" in Afghanistan, Bush was supposed to have said something along the lines of "what now?" Things are not going well in Baghdad right now, as this scathing
AP report makes clear,
I won't claim to have omniscient knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes, but one does have to wonder whether they bothered to think this one through. If the war was going to be quickie, didn't they need to have some plan for afterwards? They really do seem to be making it up as they go.

The "Tipperary Water" County Hurling League commenced for Moycarkey Borris when they travelled to Templederry to play their hosts, Templederry Kenyons on Sunday last. A strong breeze blew down the field and this aided to make the contest a game of two very different halves.
The sides traded two points each in the first five minutes of the game and in the eighth minute Moycarkey Borris's Niall Heffernan found the back of the net to put Moycarkey ahead. Three more quick points from Pat Ralph (free), Anthony McKelvey and Rory Ryan meant Moycarkey had a six point cushion before Templederry's next point of the game, a free from Dillion Carey as the quarter concluded. In the following minute Templederry regained some ground with another pointed free from Dillion Carey and a point from Matthew Hogan. But Pat Carey retained the six point margin when he raised the green flag on the seventeenth minute. There was a further hat trick of points from Niall Heffernan, Anthony McKelvey and Pat Ralph (free) before Gearoid Ryan found the net for Templederry from a penalty. Pat Ralph replied with a point free but a direct ball from Anthony McKelvey cleared past the keeper for a goal for Moycarkey. The final score of the half was Templederry's Dillion Carey who pointed another free for them leaving the score at half time, Moycarkey Borris 3-9 Templederry Kenyons 1-6.
The breeze that was in the first half was now in Templederry's favour. Three quick points in the opening three minutes for Templederry meant the margin of six points had returned. In the next five minutes Pat Ralph traded two pointed frees with two points from Templederry. Templederry continued their scoring and registered a further two points before Moycarkey's next pointed free. A point from Conor Hayes, Moycarkey as the quarter finished meant Moycarkey retained the six point margin, Moycarkey Borris 3-13 Templederry Kenyons 1-13. The final fifteen minutes was going to be tough as Templederry were very much in control of the game. The half time substitution of Eanna Murray proved very beneficial to Templederry as he scored their next six points for them, five of which were from frees. Moycarkey added two points from Pat Ralph (free) and Mossy Bracken but the equaliser of the game came in the fifty eighth minute when Eanna Murray pointed a free. Two further points came from Templederry to leave the final score Templederry Kenyons 1-23 Moycarkey Borris 3-15.
Their round two game is against Loughmore Castleiney at a home venue, further fixture details to follow.
Moycarkey Borris team – Bill McCormack; Kieran Cummins, James Power (C), Michael Cussen; Daniel Kirby, Tom Hayes, Kevin Moran; James Bourke, Chris McCullagh; Pat Carey (1-0), Rory Ryan (0-1), Niall Heffernan (1-1); Pat Ralph (0-8, 8 frees), Conor Hayes (0-1), Anthony McKelvey (1-3).
Subs used – Mossy Bracken (0-1) (h/t), Brian Moran (h/t), Phil Kelly (h/t), Mattie Ryan (49th), Eric Fanning (56th).
Templederry Kenyons team – Paul Murray; John Harkins, Christy Coughlan, Tadhg McCurtain; Thomas Stapleton, Brian Stapleton, Damien Dunne; Pio Kennedy, Gearoid Ryan (1-4, 1-0 penalty); Timmy Minogue, Adrian Ryan (0-2), Donal McGrath; Dillon Carey (0-5, 0-4 frees), Padraig O'Leary, Matthew Hogan (0-2)

Church condemns provocative act against Mosque
Published on 1 May 2018
The Church of Scotland has condemned a provocative and insensitive act towards Muslims in a Fife town.
Rev Dr Iain Greenshields said the Presbytery of Dunfermline "abhorred" the actions of someone who laid out strips of bacon on a door handle at Dunfermline Central Mosque and on the doorstep.
A statement issued by the religious centre described it as a "deliberate symbol of hatred chosen as Muslims and Jews do not eat pork".
But it vowed: "ignorance and hate will never divide us".
Dr Greenshields, Presbytery Clerk, said the church locally offered its "unstinting support" to their Muslim neighbours with whom they enjoy a good relationship based on co-operation and mutual respect.
He added that he and his colleagues would be encouraging local schools to urge pupils to challenge hate campaigns on social media.
The statement released by Dunfermline Central Mosque on Facebook said: "We had ourselves felt that we did not face the same issues and hatred as other parts of the UK suffer from, and it has left us all shocked.
"We recognise this hatred is driven via social media and continue to work with local and national government in how we all tackle the issue.
"It highlights to us and other local agencies that we all have much more work to do to reach out to more people and show them the truth of Islam and that we do not support or endorse extremism.
"And by only working together can we all hopefully eradicate all extremism in our society and make all Fifers feel safe."
The statement said the Muslim community would not be cowed.
"Our message to the haters is we are not intimidated, we shall not be bullied and this only motivates us to do more and reach out to our neighbours in Dunfermline."
The incident happened sometime over the weekend.
Dr Greenshields said: "We are very disappointed to hear this news.
"Over the last few years we have worked alongside our Muslim neighbours to foster a spirit of co-operation and mutual respect.
"Leading members of the Mosque have attended, and spoken at our Presbytery and they were warmly received.
"They reciprocated our invitation and members of Presbytery, on at least two occasions, have attended open days at the Mosque.
"We believe much of this is sparked by social media and belongs only to a small minority who themselves have no strong or personal religious convictions.
"We abhor the actions of this minority in Dunfermline, which is a very tolerant society, and offer our unstinting support to our Muslim neighbours.
"We will be writing to all schools in the area suggesting that as part of their Assemblies they challenge any hate campaigns on social media."
Ramadan starts on May 15 and Muslims around the world will be taking part in ritual fasting and abstinence for 30 days.

Kellstadt Graduate School of Business – DePaul University
DePaul University's Charles H. Kellstadt Graduate School of Business, named for the former Sears, Roebuck and Co-Chairman, President and CEO who offered a $9 million endowment gift to the graduate school in 1992, is part of the university's Driehaus College of Business. The university has offered a MBA program since 1948. Founded in 1912, Driehaus is one of the ten oldest business schools in the country. In 2012, its centennial year, the college received a $30 million gift from DePaul alumnus Richard H. Driehaus. To honor his longtime partnership with his alma mater, the college was renamed for Driehaus. Kellstadt is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International, a distinction earned by less than five percent of business schools worldwide.
Kellstadt offers courses at the downtown Loop Campus and two suburban locations. Loop Campus, located at Jackson and State streets, is the main hub for all full-time MBA classes and is located a short walk from Chicago's business district and main cultural institutions. The O'Hare campus offers courses for the Part-Time and Weekend MBA programs, while the Naperville campus offers only courses, primarily on weekday evenings, as part of the part-time MBA option. Conveniently located near O'Hare International Airport and the north and northwest suburbs, the O'Hare campus offers modern student services at the center of this international transportation hub. Naperville, the largest of DePaul's three suburban campuses, has been open since 1997 and has its own library, computer labs, auditorium, 27 classrooms, and access to free parking.
Kellstadt shares facilities with the DePaul undergraduate business program in the DePaul Center, 1 E. Jackson Boulevard in downtown Chicago. The 11-floor building, the lower two floors of which contain a full-service Barnes & Noble Bookstore and an array of other shops and eateries, houses the DePaul Student Center on its top level.
There are more than 300 full-time and part-time faculty members at Kellstadt. The student to faculty ratio is 12:1 and the average class size is fewer than 40 students.
Notable faculty include Werner De Bondt, a pioneer in the behavioral finance field; Kelly Richmond Pope, a Chicago Tribune "Remarkable Woman," who's innovative classroom and scholarly work focuses on forensic accounting; and Jose Liberti, a three-time winner of the Brattle Group Prize given by the Journal of Finance for his writing on corporate finance.
Student Body
The most recent Kellstadt class featured 2,190 students. Fifty-two percent identified as female and 30 percent were minority students. Sixty-one percent were full-time students. Thirteen percent of students were under the age of 24.
MBA Degree Offerings
Kellstadt offers full-time, evening, and weekend MBA programs. The school offers 14 concentrations, and students are invited to customize their degree to their unique interests and professional goals.

Good Places for Young Families to Live in the Boston Area
The Boston area draws families with its world-class educational offerings and cultural attractions. New England's diverse landscape and rich history are an added bonus. Within a half hour of Boston proper are many communities well-suited to family living. These cities and towns are a sampling of what Greater Boston has to offer.
Seamlessly connected to Boston via the MBTA's Green Line, Brookline combines the convenience of urban living with the close-knit neighborhood feel of suburban life. Ranked No. 31 in 2012 by CNNMoney as one of the best small places to live in the U.S., Brookline boasts a strong public school system and a wealth of beautiful public parks 3. Brookline families enjoy a variety of city-sponsored activities such as Brookline Day and the Summer Concert Series at Emerson Garden.
Newton is a city of villages, each with an elementary school, small business shopping and dining within walking distance of close-knit residential neighborhoods. Serviced by both the MBTA Green Line and MBTA Commuter Rail, and located close to Interstates 90 and 95, Newton is well-situated for young families with one or more commuting parent. Newton's two high schools were ranked seventh and 11th in 2012 in Boston Magazine's top 50 ranking of high schools in Boston and Boston suburbs 2.
With both Staples and Bose's corporate headquarters contributing to job growth, more than 3,000 restaurants within a 15-mile radius and New England's second largest retail corridor located along busy Route 9, Framingham is an attractive choice for young families. Callahan State Park, a picturesque town common and several working farms give Framingham a rural flavor. The Danforth Museum and Garden in the Woods botanical gardens offer a break from hectic daily life 4.
Located on the Atlantic coast 15 miles north of Boston, Swampscott is a tranquil seaside town with roots in the fishing and hospitality industries. The MBTA Commuter rail and Route 1-A connect this coastal community to downtown Boston. Swampscott's six beaches offer swimming, boating and fishing, and its proximity to the museums, shopping and dining in the nearby, more expensive communities of Salem and Marblehead make it an inviting option for young families.
Named on Boston Magazine's 2009 "Teflon Ten" list, which gives a nod to communities with real estate that held its value, Milton was one of the original Boston suburbs to have trolley service 2. That service continues today on the MBTA Red Line. Milton is located adjacent to Boston, with easy access to I-93 and I-95. Its blend of 1920s Dutch Colonial architecture, Brattle Street charm and modern housing means a home for every taste and size. Milton is home to a portion of the Blue Hills Reservation, a 7,000-square-foot protected green space, and prestigious educational institutions such as Milton Academy and Curry College.

"While enthusiasm may be necessary for great accomplishments elsewhere, on Wall Street it almost invariably leads to disaster."
–Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor
Tesla burns extraordinary amounts of cash to finance its ambitious rollout of the Model 3 "mass market" sedan. To this point, although Elon Musk has guided for positive cash flow to materialize in the second half of 2018 (the company has a nasty habit of missing financial and operational budgets historically), negative free cash flow has averaged almost $900 million per quarter since December 2016. Given the excitement around its products and the cult following of its CEO, to date, capital markets have been willing to fill the cash flow gap with new debt and equity. Indeed, a year ago the company raised a $1.8 billion bond issue. Even if these bonds mature at par in 2025, in our view, purchasers of this security made a clear misjudgment of the credit risk (The referenced senior unsecured bonds are rated B- by S&P and Caa1 by Moody's.) associated with Tesla by only requiring a 5.3 percent coupon rate. Since Tesla's leverage on a cash flow basis is exceedingly high, the justification given for the purchase of these senior securities is that there is a large junior class behind them (i.e. the equity market cap) to absorb losses first if conditions worsen.
Apparently, in early-1900s Wall Street one of the most disrespectful things you could say about a company was that there was "nothing but water" behind its stock. While this language referred to a large amount of intangible assets on a company's balance sheet, it could be modified as follows: "With heat it is subject to evaporation."
The ability of this company to fund itself with new debt and equity is entirely based on the market value of its stock. If "Mr. Market" loses patience with Tesla for any extended period, the company could go bankrupt rather quickly or issue a highly dilutive round of equity which would almost certainly result in permanent capital impairment. About dilution, Tesla's share price ($370.34 as of 8/8/18 close) currently trades above the conversion price ($359.87) for its $920 million convertible bond issue maturing next spring. If sustained, holders of these bonds would be encouraged to convert to equity at maturity rather than receive par value in cash. One folly making the rounds right now by Tesla bulls is that such an event amounts to some sort of debt forgiveness. It doesn't. While trading debt financing for equity financing would be deleveraging, the deleveraging is not achieved through debt forgiveness, but through dilution. While such an event might take bankruptcy talk off the table for a time, Tesla, with an equity market capitalization greater than that of Ford or General Motors, needs to do much more than stay out of bankruptcy court to justify its valuation.
While Tesla does appear to have great technology and electric vehicles will likely become an increasingly larger part of the global car and truck fleets, such prospects attract return-damaging competition. Traditionally, existing high returns attract such competition, but in this instance, just the promise of future high returns will suffice. For Tesla, the competition is coming from well-funded and profitable technology companies and traditional car manufacturers. These new entrants should ultimately serve to reduce the price TSLA can charge for its vehicles. In the meantime, the more crowded space will drive up the cost of materials and labor associated with manufacturing electric vehicles.
Ironically, the company's namesake, Nikola Tesla, who is credited for being the father of the modern alternating current electricity supply system, died broke in the early 1940s.

Vancouver B.C. February 25, 2013: International Lithium Corp. ("ILC" or the "Company") (ILC: TSX-V) would like to formally extend an invitation to all attendees to visit our booth 2407B at The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Tuesday, March 4th – Wednesday, March 5th 2013. For more conference details please visit the official site at www.pdac.ca.
"After the progress ILC has made this year, I'm excited to announce the company will be participating at this year's Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC). Having announced the first drill results from the Mavis Lake Project in Ontario which demonstrated the potential to become a significant exploration target for lithium and tantalum bearing mineralization in North America, we are now looking forward to addressing our shareholders questions as well as publicising our next efforts moving forward. In particular our key projects; the Blackstairs project in Ireland, currently in joint venture with Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium from China, the Mariana Lithium Potash Brine in Argentina and the Mavis Lake project where we are seeking strategic opportunities to advance the project toward the resource definition stage." -Comments Kirill Klip, President of International Lithium.
About International Lithium Corp.
International Lithium Corp. is an exploration company with an outstanding portfolio of projects, strong management ownership, robust financial support and a strategic partner and keystone investor Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., a leading China based lithium product manufacturer.
The Company's primary focus is the Mariana lithium-potash brine project in Argentina within the renowned South American 'Lithium Belt' that is host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. The 160 square kilometre Mariana project strategically encompasses an entire mineral rich evaporite basin that ranks as one of the more prospective salars, or 'salt lakes' in the region.
Complementing the Company's lithium brine projects are rare metals pegmatite properties in Canada and Ireland that have revealed through recent highly positive results a clear potential that the Company will advance with the support of its strategic partner, Ganfeng Lithium. These projects can add distinct value as the Company strives to source rare metals to help meet the increasing demand through the growth in global technologies that utilize the rare metals suite of elements.
With the increasing demand of high tech applications in battery and vehicle propulsion technologies, lithium and other rare metals are no doubt the metals of tomorrow's green tech economy. By positioning itself with solid development partners and projects with significant resource potential, ILC aims to be the green tech resource developer of choice for investors and build value for its shareholders.
International Lithium Corp.'s mission is to find, explore and develop projects that have the potential to become world-class lithium, potash and rare metal deposits.
On behalf of the Company,
Kirill Klip
President, International Lithium Corp.

Sale includes: The Entire Business, all Equipment & all Fixtures.
Ice Cream Shop - North side of Chicago (near Lakeview)
1st $50,000 cash offer steals this business!!!This is a neighborhood retail soft serve ice cream store that has a franchise look and feel to it, without all the franchise fees. It's a healthy, yet delicious alternative to traditional ice cream. Their product is 100% lactose free, cholesterol free and low fat. The first $50,000 cash offer gets this turn-key business! This is a local, neighborhood ice cream shop in a fantastic location with very cheap rent and very low cost, high profit product. The owner spent over $25,000 on equipment and fixtures and another $60,000 on the build-out. Shortly after opening the store, he had open heart surgery and was forced to close the shop. Reluctantly, he decided to sell the business for the extremely low price of $50,000.
The ice cream shop was created and built from scratch earlier this year, by a former banker who wanted to present an alternative to the desert industry. Marketed as a healthy choice to traditional ice cream, their product comes in much lower calories, fat and sugar, when compared to competitors. The real key, is that it also tastes better. To further differentiate itself from the pack, they also offer delivery to their customers.
For a mere $50,000, you get a profitable business in a great location, all equipment and fixtures, trained employees, a website and a fantastic product. The product itself is low fat, non-dairy, lactose free, cholesterol free and only 20 calories per ounce. Because it's in powder form (as opposed to liquid form), it has a shelf life of 24 months or more. The longer shelf life means less waste and helps contribute to the high profit margins. The cost (not including toppings) is only $0.12 per serving. What they serve, is a blend of soft serve ice cream and then the customer can pile on their favorite toppings such as peanut butter cups, cookie dough, Butterfingers, nuts, Oreo, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and many other toppings.
The fantastic location is another reason to jump on this opportunity as quickly as possible. There are over 16,500 cars driving by the front door each day, as well as a tremendous amount of foot traffic. This ice cream shop is within walking distance of 2 parks (one of which, is one of the largest parks in Chicago), and a day care center. In fact, there are so many children in the immediate area around the ice cream shop, there is another day care center scheduled to open very soon. The ice cream shop opened February 26th and closed on May 10th. The average monthly expenses (including rent and payroll) are approximately $8,000. The sales for the 2nd month they were open were $11,654.89, not including sales tax! The ice cream shop actually turned a profit the 2nd month it was open! When you also take into consideration that the cold weather is behind us and summer is about to begin, this is the perfect time to buy this business.

CNN's GUT CHECK | for June 15, 2012 | 5 p.m.
– n. a pause to assess the state, progress or condition of the political news cycle
BREAKING … EL JUEGO DEL CAMBIO: President Barack Obama ends deportation of some illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children: "Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security is taking steps to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people. Over the next few months eligible individuals who do not present a risk to national security or public safety will be able to request temporary relief from deportation proceedings and apply for work authorization. Now, let's be clear: This is not amnesty. This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship. It's not a permanent fix."
BY THE NUMBERS FROM PEW'S HISPANIC CENTER: Up to 1.4 million children and young adults who are in the United States illegally could potentially benefit from today's announcement by the Obama Administration … the 1.4 million estimate represents about 12% of the 11.2 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. as of 2010, according to an estimate by the Pew Hispanic Center. Among the 1.4 million potential beneficiaries of the new policy, some 70% are from Mexico.
MITT ROMNEY REACTION, FROM MILFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: "I believe the status of young people who come here with no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered and it should be solved on a long term basis so they'll know what there future will be in this country. What the president did today makes it more difficult to reach that long term solution because that executive order is of course a short term matter it can be reversed by subsequent presidents. I'd like to see legislation that deals with this issue, and I happen to agree with Marco Rubio as he would consider this issue."
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL): "There is broad support for the idea that we should figure out a way to help kids who are undocumented through no fault of their own, but there is also broad consensus that it should be done in a way that does not encourage illegal immigration in the future. …By once again ignoring the Constitution and going around Congress, this short term policy will make it harder to find a balanced and responsible long term one."
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): "Despite promising to address illegal immigration early in his term, the president has failed to lead on yet another important national issue, and is instead resorting to an election-year gambit that provides no certainty to immigrants, employers, and the American people."
Tim Kaine, Democratic candidate for Senate in Virginia: "In order to maintain our competitive edge in a global economy, we must tap the skills of all our young people, not just some, who have benefited from our schools and communities."
Rep. Tim Huelskamp, (R-Kansas): "We already have millions of people who are out of work, and now President Obama wants to make more people legally eligible to work? One out of two recent college graduates are unemployed or underemployed and more than 70 percent of teenagers are without summer jobs. Certainly America is about opportunity, but not when the law has been broken and exploited by those illegally in this country."
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa): "President Obama's actions will violate the Constitutional separation of powers and at least two federal laws. This is no longer a debate about immigration policy. The debate is now about the Constitution and the Rule of Law. I am preparing to bring suit against the President and ask for a court to enjoin him from implementing his unconstitutional and unlawful policy."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "Moving major issues requires action, not rhetoric, and today the Administration took a step towards breaking the Washington logjam on immigration that has hamstrung our economy and made America less competitive in the global marketplace.

MARK (@PrestonCNN) & MICHELLE (@MJaconiCNN)
What caught our eye today in politics
The bully pulpit caught our eye today - and kept our gaze. With a single moment President Obama flexed the muscles of his presidency and changed national immigration policy immediately.
On Fridays we like to take a look at the news cycle through the eyes of masters of the political class, and for today, we are listening to two political veterans who watched the president's announcement with keen interest, and weighed in on the political ramifications.
Jose Antonio Vargas (joseiswriting), Co-Founder Define America, Time magazine cover writer and cover model
"I haven't committed any sort of felony; I went to high school, middle school, graduated from college in America. I am not a threat to this country. This country is my home, I grew up here. And I think that is exactly the message that the Obama administration is sending today. These are Americans. At the end of the day, giving them status to be able to go to school and live their lives and work is good for all of America. It is good for all of us."
"This is such a big win. It is beyond politics. It is not about Democrat, it's not about Republican, it is not about Obama's re-election strategy. At the end of the day, these are everyday people who are trying to live their lives and live as fully as they can. They don't care about what is going on in terms of what the politicians are arguing about, they care about trying to make sure they are feeding their families and that they are educated."
Ana Navarro (@ananavarro), Republican analyst based in Florida and new CNN contributor
"Latinos have been disillusioned with President Obama's broken immigration promises. Though this doesn't come close to his vow to accomplish comprehensive immigration reform in his first year, it will be received with enthusiasm and celebration by most Latinos."
"Republicans should tread carefully and use a measured tone in responding to this announcement. The DREAM Act kids make a compelling story and have broad support among Hispanics. Republicans should express sympathy for these young people and at the same time attack Obama for taking blatantly political action to help his re-election prospects. Republicans should also remind Latinos that Obama has a record of immigration promises un-kept and economic policies that's led to 11% Latino unemployment. But to position themselves against a group of young people who sound American, look American and feel American would be a mistake. The focus should be not on the kids, but on Obama's political motives and lack of leadership in not working with Congress on a real and permanent solution. The constitutional argument is a technical response to what is an emotional and political issue."

Did you miss it?
Leading CNNPolitics: Obama calls policy 'the right thing to do'
In an election-year policy change, the Obama administration said Friday it will stop deporting young illegal immigrants who entered the United States as children if they meet certain requirements. The shift on the politically volatile issue of immigration policy prompted immediate praise from Latino leaders who have criticized Congress and the White House for inaction, while Republicans reacted with outrage that the move amounts to amnesty - a negative buzz word among conservatives. – Tom Cohen
Leading Drudge: Reporter Interrupts Obama
"Excuse me sir, this is not time for questions sir," Obama said to a reporter who asked a question during his Rose Garden speech on his new immigration policy. "Not while I'm speaking."
Leading HuffPo: Obama Administration To Stop Deporting Younger Undocumented Immigrants And Grant Work Permits
The Obama administration responded to years of pressure from immigrants rights groups on Friday with an announcement that it will stop deportations and begin granting work permits for some Dream Act-eligible students. – Elise Foley
Leading Politico: Inside Koch World
The Koch brothers' political operation has increasingly come to resemble its own political party — and later this month in San Diego, it will hold what amounts to its most ambitious convention to date. Many of the dozens of rich conservative invitees are expected to write huge checks to a pool of cash distributed among Koch-approved groups, potentially boosting the Kochs' 2012 spending plan beyond their historic $395 million goal. – Kenneth P. Vogel and Tarini Parti
Leading New York Times: U.S. to Stop Deporting Some Illegal Immigrants
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children will be able to obtain work permits and be safe from deportation under a new policy announced on Friday by the Obama administration. – John H. Cushman
The political bites of the day
- RNC Chairman sees red, calls Obama "Committed Leftist" -
REINCE PRIEBUS IN A SPEECH TO THE FAITH AND FREEDOM FORUM: "This president's priorities are not America's priorities and Barack Obama is not your daddy's democrat. I mean he is not Kennedy and, God forbid, he is not Bill Clinton either. He is the first unabashed committed leftist to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue because this president would rather bow to foreign leaders than stand up for America's greatness. This is a president that would rather trash the Constitution than preserve our rights. He is a president that would rather defer to the United Nations than defend the United States and our allies."
- Newt makes an Obama bumper sticker: From 'yes we can' to 'why we couldn't' -
NEWT GINGRICH IN A SPEECH AT THE FAITH AND FREEDOM FORM: "This is a man who is sufficiently confident of the uniqueness of his gift to the planet that he is impervious to incoming information. You know, he campaigned in 2008 on the slogan `Yes, we can.' He is running this fall on the slogan `Why we couldn't.'"
- If Obama and Romney don't work out, fire up the bat signal -
DAVID LETTERMAN JOKES ON HIS LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW: "Americans have no confidence in Mitt Romney, the mitten. No confidence. No confidence in Mitt Romney, no confidence in Barack Obama when it comes to the economy. No confidence and we're getting ready to elect one of these guys. Honest to God. You know who that leaves? Batman."

The country's best carpetbagger?
The man who most deserves that title would be Sen. James Shields, a Democrat from not one, not two, but three states.
Shields began his Senate career in 1849 when he defeated Sidney Breese to become senator for Illinois. Sheilds was born in Ireland, however, and that caused some to question whether he met the citizenship requirement (yes, it even happened back then). The governor of Illinois squashed that challenge and Shields was seated in 1849.
Six years later, after failing to win re-election in Illinois, Shields moved to the Minnesota Territory. In 1858, after Minnesota became a state, Shields was elected as one of the first two senators from the land of 10,000 lakes. Unluckily, however, Shields was given a Senate term that only lasted for one more year. After that year, the wayward senator lost re-election and moved to California.
The story, however, doesn't end there. After serving as a general in the Union army during the Civil War, Shields settled in Missouri. In failing health and suffering from war wounds, on January 22, 1879, Shields was elected to represent Missouri in the Senate – setting the record for most states represented by one person. According to Senate historians, "By then, he had become a beloved figure among Americans of Irish heritage and his election to an uncompleted term with only six weeks remaining served as an expression of that affection."
Shortly after his last term, Shields died as the former U.S. senator from Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri.
According to analysis by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the average Senate race costs $10 million, meaning if someone tried to top Shields' feat today, they would be looking at a $30 million bill.

President Obama, Whitehouse.gov "Open for Questions" event, September 28, 2011:
Question: Me again. On the DREAM Act that you mentioned before, and this is like a statement from New York City: Mr. President, I am an undocumented law graduate from New York City. I'm just writing to say that your message that you do not have a dance partner is not a message of hope. A real dancer goes out on the dance floor and picks out his or her dance partner. You're just waiting. You have the facts, numbers, dollars and votes on the side of granting administrative relief for DREAMers. We are doing our part. It is time to do yours, Mr. President.
Obama: I just have to continue to say this notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. We are doing everything we can administratively. But the fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce. And I think there's been a great disservice done to the cause of getting the DREAM Act passed and getting comprehensive immigration passed by perpetrating the notion that somehow, by myself, I can go and do these things. It's just not true.
Now, what we can do is to prioritize enforcement, since there are limited enforcement resources, and say we're not going to go chasing after this young man or anybody else who's been acting responsibly and would otherwise qualify for legal status if the DREAM Act passed.
But we live in a democracy. You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it. And if all the attention is focused away from the legislative process, then that is going to lead to a constant dead-end. We have to recognize how the system works, and then apply pressure to those places where votes can be gotten and, ultimately, we can get this thing solved. And nobody will be a stronger advocate for making that happen than me.

Second term–immigration.
Why wouldn't the President go to Congress and ask for permission for his idea with the immigration? I don't know because the Republicans have been such great partners in running America. Could he actually believe the Party of NO would continue as the Party of NO!? The Republicans have no respect for the Americans they screw in their attempt to wrestle the Presidency away from the Democrats. If they can stop the President from making any progress they win, but unfortunately the rest of America loses along with the President. Vote out the Repuglicans.
Good move Mr. President!
With unemployment at over 8.0% millions of Citizens unemployed, Obama now wants to give work permits to illegals under 30 in order for them to work. This is a direct slap in the face to Millions of Middle Class people that are out of work. It shows all Obama cares about is getting elected again. Even if it means screwing the people of this country. He is right this is class warfare, he is waging war against the working class. What a poor excuse for a human and a man.
Do Republicans expect the fat-cats to clean their own pools? Republicans from agricultural states are asking for relaxed rules to allow workers to cross the border to work. These are the same folks who're fighting tooth & nail to deport families and keep Hispanic children out of schools. Good Christians one and all...
After the age of 18 they aren't 'kids' they are adults. After college these illegal KIDS will get jobs or start businesses, then the president will say "we can't kick out brilliant people who are doing great work and just started a successful business", we have to give them amnesty since they proved themselves to be great citizens. Then their illegal parents will get amnesty because Mexican students are taking political and legal courses to take over government and bring in more Mexicans and So. Americans. It won't end because Obama is working for Mexicans, Mexico, rich Mexicans, LaRaza and not Americans. We hired him to work for us, he slaps us down and gives or jobs to illegals under the guise "it's the right thing to do". Obama is Mexicos whore.
I appreciate the accuracy of President Obama's st@ement that he can't solve the immigration mess unilaterally. However, I believe it deceptive to claim he is "deeply cocerned about this problem" as he has said on many occasions. If so, why does he only address the issue when addressing hispanic groups? Why is there no priority on this–or on the true numbers of unemployed(over 6 million long-term who are no longer counted in the "Official" unemployment figure.), or on the rising cost of tuition? His Hollywood friends–who will continue to do fine no matter who is in the Oval Office–will throw $40,000 a plate dinners for him, but when does he hob knob with the janitors and fast food workers and other lower wage earners who are losing their shirts in this economy? Where is the "legislative process" with appropriate executive pressure for them? It strikes me that Mr. Obama's statement–sans these emphases–is pure rhetoric.
The gut check has now been explained to us about twenty kazillion times. What's going on? No thinkers left?
Only monotones like Blitzer and people afraid to call a lie a lie.
Where is there fairness in reporting? I thought Fox was all Republican reporting now it's Cnn. All we hear is Romny,
Romny. when is the last time the GOP has done any for the people? At least Obama care is a start.It may have some
problems but if the two party's would get together something good come out this program. Come on CNN you could make this happen.
