http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N67&L60&F=T GreenShift Corporation develops and commercializes clean technologies that facilitate the efficient use of natural resources. GreenShift’s revenue model is based on the use of its proprietary technologies to become a leading producer of biomass-derived products, and to do so at reduced cost and risk by extracting and refining raw materials that other producers cannot access or process. GERS News:February 7 – GreenShift Releases Shareholder Letter Kevin Kreisler, chairman of GreenShift Corporation (OTCBB: GERS), issued the following letter to the shareholders of GreenShift: Dear Shareholders: This is an exciting time for our company. We have focused relentlessly on building shareholder value by increasing sales, executing sufficient new licenses to achieve profitability and reducing debt since our last communication. I am pleased to report that our efforts have been successful: we achieved each of our goals for 2010. This letter is to provide you with an update on our progress, the challenges and opportunities in front of us, and our plans moving forward. Key Highlights From 2010 New Agreements: We executed seven new corn oil extraction license agreements during 2010 with ethanol producers representing more than 9% of the industry and over 1 billion gallons per year of ethanol production. Working Capital: Our new agreements and cost controls were sufficient to return us to positive cash flow from operations, thus allowing us to greatly reduce reliance on proceeds from debt and equity financing during the final months of 2010 and moving forward. Profitability: Our existing agreements provide us with sufficient revenue to generate operating income and, depending upon yield and market prices, pre-tax profit as currently licensed systems commence production. Debt Reduction: Total debt decreased by about 30%, from about $60 million as of December 31, 2009 to about $40 million as of December 31, 2010. In addition, other liabilities decreased by another $7 million, for a reduction in total liabilities of about $27 million during 2010, from $83 million to about $56 million as of December 31, 2010. About 95% of the debt reduced during 2010 was accomplished without issuance of stock. Patent Protection: An additional corn oil extraction patent was recently allowed, further strengthening our patent position. Litigation Partner: We partnered with a leading intellectual property law firm, Cantor Colburn, LLP, to enforce our corn oil extraction patent against accused infringers to protect the competitive advantage of our licensees. Cantor Colburn has been an invaluable partner and we are very pleased to have such a high caliber team behind us on terms that align their interests with our success. Increased Demand: More and more producers were turning to us for licensing, equipment and technical and marketing support services as of late 2010. Record Yield: We increased yields for our licensees and demonstrated that a properly designed, capitalized, installed and operated corn oil extraction system can consistently produce more than 0.9 pounds of corn oil per bushel of corn processed – without negatively impacting profat compliance or the value of distillers grain in most areas. Record Prices: We developed new markets for corn oil through our marketing arm. These markets opened up during 2010 as supplies increased sufficiently to enable new purchasers to switch away from more costly vegetable oils.
Increased demand for corn oil in multiple market applications, new and existing, drove prices to record levels by the end of the year, and still higher into 2011. Record Improvement: As of year end, our patented corn oil extraction technologies were still the single most valuable improvement developed, commercialized and made available to dry mill ethanol producers – adding as much as $0.09 per gallon of ethanol produced in new income with paybacks of less than 1 year. We accomplished much during 2010, but none of it would have been possible without the continuing strong support and commitment of our financial, legal and other partners; the business and partnership of our licensees; and the hard work of our team. We are very thankful for each of their contributions. We steered clear of bankruptcy and total loss of shareholder value following the global financial and commodity crisis. We have turned the corner. We are gathering momentum. 2011 is just a month old and we have already executed two new license agreements and had two more patents allowed. We’re just getting started. Goals Moving Forward We will improve on our 2010 performance during 2011 by executing licenses with facilities producing a total of 1.3 billion gallons per year of ethanol, corresponding to an additional 9.6% of the total U.S. ethanol production, and by reducing debt by at least 33%. We will supplement our royalty income by designing and delivering new extraction systems and upgrades, and by providing related technical and marketing support services to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs of corn oil extraction for our clients. We will stay lean but we plan to hire additional technical services support staff in the Mid-West to ensure that our clients receive rapid support as our business continues to grow. We will also build shareholder value in 2011 by providing our clients with additional process enhancements. Our patented and patent-pending portfolio of Backend Fractionation™ technologies is designed to continue improving the profitability and energy balance of refining corn into fuel. One of the new licenses we executed during 2011 provides for the first-ever commercial deployment of our patent-pending Method II whole stillage extraction process, a technology that is expected to become vital to ethanol producers that sell their distillers grain to the dairy markets. Together, our Method II corn oil extraction process and other Backend Fractionation™ technologies have the capability of maximizing corn oil production, creating valuable new co-products for ethanol producers, and dramatically increasing ethanol producer income while further improving the nutritional profile and value of distillers grain. Value Creation In February 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published its estimate that 70% of the U.S. ethanol industry will use corn oil extraction technology to produce 40% of America’s biodiesel feedstock by 2022. At the end of 2010, industry publications were predicting the adoption of corn oil extraction technology by the entire industry. If that actually occurs, if our patented technologies actually standardize and shift the majority of the U.S. ethanol industry into increased efficiency and profitability, then we will have fulfilled our founding mission of building value for our clients and shareholders by developing and using technology to catalyze disruptive environmental gain. We believe that the first, best and most cost-effective way to achieve positive environmental change of any magnitude is to develop technology-driven economic incentives that motivate large groups of people and companies to make incremental environmental contributions that are collectively very significant. At projected levels of adoption, that is precisely what GreenShift’s patented corn oil extraction technologies will have done by sustainably producing globally-meaningful quantities of new carbon-neutral liquid fuels for distribution through existing supply chains; displacing more than 20 million barrels per year of crude oil; saving trillions of cubic feet per year of natural gas; eliminating tens of millions of metric tons per year of greenhouse gas emissions; and infusing more than $2 billion per year of increased income into the corn ethanol industry – the foundation of North America’s renewable fuel production capability. One of our most important challenges as we look forward to 2011 and beyond is to convert the value we have brought to the ethanol industry and our clients into increased value for all of our shareholders. Resolving this challenge will require that we execute on our goals, right our balance sheet and simplify our capital structure. We are committed to accomplishing each of these tasks. Being a first mover with new technology in the renewable fuels industry has been challenging to be sure, and, in hindsight, we made our fair share of mistakes along the way. We invested too aggressively in the development and commercialization of corn oil refining technologies when biodiesel producers were unwilling to commit capital to retooling their plants to refine corn oil and none of the leading biodiesel technology providers were willing to provide a process guaranty. And, we relied too heavily on our financing model and financing commitments given the commodity, policy, legal and other risks, exposing us to the loss of all of our financing and working capital when the market crashed. In the end, we simply borrowed too much as we pushed through and overcame each of the barriers to commercializing our extraction technologies. Our capital structure will be complicated by the convertible nature of our debt until it is repaid. Dilution resulting from the conversion of some of our debt into stock can be expected between now and full repayment.
However, we are committed to minimizing the dilutive expense of these debt conversions. Our key challenge here is to build value at a greater rate than debt is repaid with stock, until we can repay debt from cash flow alone. On that, there is reason to be hopeful. Returning to positive cash flow allows us to dramatically reduce stock issuances associated with working capital financing moving forward. The vast majority of the debt reduced during 2010 involved no issuance of stock. We are confident that we can improve upon the successes achieved last year on this front, and we are currently evaluating additional opportunities to do so. Further, achieving our sales target for 2011 would be a major accomplishment for GreenShift and its shareholders for many reasons, not the least of which is that doubling penetration would allow us to pay off all remaining debt out of cash flow. We believe that our market value is suppressed well below where it should be. This situation can only be corrected with solid execution – staying focused, earning business, increasing sales, running a profitable company and reducing our debt until there is zero dilutive impact on our shareholders. We are not there yet, but we are energized; we have a great team and committed partners, and we believe that we will make substantial additional progress this year. We are grateful for your patience and support and we look forward to our next communication.

http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N67&L9&F=T Zevotek, Inc. plans to market and sell independently a range of distinct and independent lines of home care and household products. In May 2007, the company entered into a license agreement to sell an energy saving compact fluorescent light bulb named the Ionic Bulb. The company plans to market the Ionic Bulb through TV infomercials, catalogs, magazines and major U.S..
retail and specialty stores.ZVTK News:March 29 – Zevotek Announces Retail Sales Agreement for Ionic Bulb Zevotek, Inc. (OTCBB: ZVTK), a worldwide direct marketer and distributor of innovative personal and home care items, announced the Company hired a retail sales agency to promote and sell Zevotek`s Ionic Bulb to an exclusive list of major U.S. retailers, U.S. home shopping channel ShopNBC and consumer product catalog companies. Zevotek`s agreement with Product Marketing, Inc., a Richfield, Minnesota based company, calls for Product Marketing to present the Ionic Bulb to buyers at Target, Best Buy, Menard`s, ShopNBC, catalog companies and specialty and Midwestern retailers. Product Marketing is responsible for securing retailer`s orders to purchase Ionic Bulbs from Zevotek for sale in those chain`s U.S. stores and through their retail websites.Commenting on the announcement, Zevotek`s CEO, Rob Babkie, said, “Today`s announcement shows we are right on target with our sales strategy to get the Ionic Bulb on retail store shelves across America. Product Marketing is widely recognized by the major retailers they will call on to present the Ionic Bulb.”Zevotek`s retail sales strategy seeks to capitalize on the consumer trends toward healthier living, green products and a push for energy savings spurred by U.S. federal government action. A published U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study shows that the indoor air we breathe can be 2 to 5, and in some cases 100 times, more polluted than the air outside.
Zevotek sells the Ionic Bulb, a patented air purifying CFL bulb that rids the air of many indoor air pollutants. The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 encourages retailers to sell more energy efficient products like the Ionic Bulb and in 2012, the Act bans the sale of 100 watt incandescent bulbs and phases out other wattages of incandescent bulbs.
Retail giant IKEA is already phasing out their U.S. sales of incandescent bulbs in favor of CFL bulbs on which the air purifying Ionic Bulb is based.Rob Babkie added, “Retailers are making their decisions now about which products to stock on their store shelves in the future. We are excited to have Product Marketing present the Ionic Bulb to retailers trusted by millions of Americans and to show the Ionic Bulb`s innovative solution to the problems of indoor air pollution and soon to be gone electricity wasting incandescent bulbs.”OTCPicks.com is located at 3533 Twin Lakes Drive, Prosper, TX 75078, Telephone: (972) 546-3740, Email: Publisher@OTCPicks.com.This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it..DO NOT BASE ANY INVESTMENT DECISION UPON ANY MATERIALS FOUND ON THIS REPORT.

http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N39&L22&F=T Southridge Minerals, Inc. is a U.S.-based mineral exploration company dedicated to acquiring and developing mineral resources in geologically permissible and politically stable areas of the world. The Company seeks out on early state opportunities with good mineralization indicators that can carry plenty of blue-sky potential. Southridge progresses these projects that are or will be of interest to mid-size and major producers.
By forming ventures on individual projects, the Company expects to grow and maintain an interest in mines operated by its partners, allowing it to continue to build value through continued exploration. Southridge is currently focused on projects in Mexico. What sets Southridge apart is its vast experience in Mexico, the geology conditions of formation of known large gold deposits that up until now have received very little attention..
This way it can focus geographically and on a couple of commodities to give its shareholder return on their investment in the most efficient way possible. SRGE News:December 10 – Southridge Minerals Signs Definitive Agreement and Acquires Major Mexican Gold PropertiesSouthridge Enterprises Inc. (OTC: SRGE) (“Southridge” or the “Company”) announced that Southridge Minerals, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, announces today it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Cinco Minas and and Gran Cabrera Gold properties in Mexico.
The Purchase Price for the assets comprising the mineral concessions “Gran Cabrera” shall be $2,500,000. The Purchase Price for the assets comprising the mineral concessions “Cinco Minas” shall be $5,000,000.The Cinco Minas site covers roughly 10,750 hectares and is located approximately 100 kilometres northwest of the City of Guadalajara. The Gran Cabrera site covers roughly 4,300 hectares and is located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Cinco Minas. Both sites are on strike to a major regional left lateral fault system that hosts many historical areas such as the old Santo Domingo mine site, currently the subject of extensive exploration drilling by Stroud Resources Ltd., which is midway between the two historical sites.Cinco Minas property was mined between 1922 and 1928 and reported 1,083,000 tonnes of ore averaging 3.17 g/t gold and 476 g/t silver. This equates to 97,364 oz. of gold (2,760 kilograms) and 15,095,915 oz. of silver (427,954 kilograms). The Cinco Minas and Gran Cabrera properties both host epithermal systems with adularia-sericite type quartz veins with gold-silver mineralization. The main zone system at Cinco Minas has an identified strike length of approximately 5 kilometres with additional parallel to sub-parallel veins. Past mining has produced several bonanza grade veins with high gold credits. These types of structures have also been reported in the recent exploration drilling at Cinco Minas.In 2004 a resource estimate was prepared on the Cinco minas property that was based on work by independent consulting firm of Behre Dolbear de Mexico (www.dolbear.com). This estimate was based on the drilling, trenching and field exploration since 2003. Based on their examinations and calculations they reported the following:* An indicated resource of 2.27 million tonnes of 171.9 gram silver containing 12.5 million oz. of silver and 1.22 gram gold containing 89,100 of gold * An inferred resource of 400,000 tonnes of 137.9 gram silver containing 1.8 million oz. silver and 1.07 gram gold containing 13,800 oz. of gold. The Cinco Minas vein systems are classic epithermal precious metal deposits with brecciated ore hosts flooded with quartz/sulphide pulses. The mineralization is varied along strike but generally is represented with argentite, miargyrite, native silver, gold, sphalerite, and galena.
Literature and recent drilling supports that additional sources of very high-grade mineralization should be encountered along strike. The historical reports indicate that bonanza grades of silver with gold were encountered randomly during the development of both mine sites. The geology supports that potential as volcanic hosted massive sulphides are commonly concentrated and enriched when proximal to major fault systems.InfrastructureThe Hostotipaquillo regional infrastructure is moderately sophisticated.
The town of Magdalena is roughly 20 kilometres south of Cinco Minas and Tequila is another 20 kilometres southeast of Magdalena. These will be the two primary sources for material for the project. Tequila has a population of some 50,000 persons while Magdalena is roughly 25,000. The two towns have a corresponding ability to provide supplies and manpower to the project both short and long term. Whatever cannot be obtained in Tequila will have to come from Guadalajara, which is a further 80 kilometres southeast. Guadalajara is the capital of the state of Jalisco, and a custom steel centre with an estimated population of 6.3 million people in 2008.All three towns are linked with a good highway system. Modern trucking systems should be able to deliver any required bulk materials, steel, and plant equipment. The infrastructure is suitable for immediate mill tests on site with the installation of new equipment. Water storage around the pad system and other mill facilities can easily be controlled by well-engineered containment facilities. The 200 metre drop from the old mine to the old mill, town and proposed leach pad site provides for an excellent material flow for ore and water.The local population of Cinco Minas is roughly 300 persons. From that group the initial work force has been established. As the project expands, training in mine related jobs, safety and other worker skills can be undertaken. However, at the outset, additional workers will be required to provide technical expertise on site. Housing for those workers will be established by the construction of a camp situation that can be controlled with respect to services, security, and expansion.There are no extraordinary infrastructure costs or hurdles as roads, power and water are all present onsite the Cinco Minas property. The remnants of the old mill site could be quickly refitted as the land package includes the historical Cinco Minas mine and 60 Tonne mill.HistoryThe Hostotipaquillo region is steeped in a rich mining history. The original mines were small adit enterprises begun in the 1530s by the conquering Spanish, looking for high-grade silver and gold. Sporadic workings were developed where easily hand-cobbed high-grade ore could be obtained. Where large deposits of ore could be worked, the communities would develop around them to support the mine. This model of development is not much different in today`s mine industry.In many cases old workings were abandoned simply because they were too remote to continue operations or the ore began to run into silicified materials. In the vicinity of Hostotipaquillo, ore was discovered in 1605 and several mines were developed. The town soon became the administrative centre for the region and later the Municipal capital. However in the Gran Cabrera region, 10-20 kilometres northwest of the town, mining had already begun and many operations were developed. The rugged terrain made working these properties difficult and would qualify as models of excellence in mine development in rugged conditions. In examining the ruins of the Monte de El Favor and Gran Cabrera mine camps, the sheer magnitude of the regional historical development is simply amazing. While the environment has overtaken many of the roads, rail and cable footprints, the evidence still exists. The degree of adit and shaft development done in the individual mines is remarkable.While mining was growing in the Cabrera area, it was also advancing to the east towards and into Cinco Minas. In the early 1900s, a series of independent mine operations became the critical mass for the development of the town of Cinco Minas. Power was brought into the area and extensive mill operations were established. It became the local mine centre for the area and the reported 10,000 person camp resulted. The Cinco Minas deposit was developed to its peak by Marcus Daly with the Cinco Minas Mining Company.
He transformed the random mining operation into a 500 tonne per day producer by 1922.ABOUT CINCO MINAS AND AND GRAN CABRERA WORK PROGRAMOver the next several weeks, Southridge is planning to review all the historical information, resample some of the drill core from previous operators. We also plan to digitize the drilling and underground data to confirm the historical estimated tonnages and to confirm the known drill targets. It is expected that the next surface drill program should be underway in Q1 2011.INTERNATIONAL POWER GROUP LIMITED (OTCBB: IPWG) “Up 50.00% on Monday” Detailed Quote:

http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N39&L22&F=T FONAR Corporation engages in the design, manufacture, sale, and service of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners for the detection and diagnosis of human diseases. It provides Stand-Up/Upright MRI scanners, which allows patients to be scanned in a weight-bearing condition, such as standing, sitting, or bending in any position that causes symptoms; and FONAR 360 MRI scanner, a diagnostic scanner. The company also provides management services, including development; administration; leasing of office space, facilities, and medical equipment; provision of supplies; staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel; legal services; accounting, billing, and collection; and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. It serves private scanning centers and hospitals worldwide. The company was founded in 1978 and is headquartered in Melville, New York.FONR News:December 13 – FONAR UPRIGHT MRI Customer Wins Jury Decision in Federal Court for Antitrust Lawsuit Versus CareCore NationalFONAR Corporation (Nasdaq: FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, announced that a provider of outpatient diagnostic services (a FONAR customer) and several Stand-Up MRI diagnostic imaging professional corporations (PCs) received a jury verdict in their favor in an anti-trust lawsuit against CareCore National, LLC, a radiology benefits management (RBM) company (www.carecorenational.com).This antitrust lawsuit involved CareCore National`s exclusion of the plaintiffs, all of them providers of MRI services using Stand-Up MRI scanners (FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRIs), from utilization by its member subscribers. CareCore Radiology, a division of CareCore National, covers more than 30 million member subscribers in all 50 states. The diagnostic service provider and the PCs were represented by Constantine Cannon LLP, New York, NY.After more than a two-week trial, the verdict was reached November 30, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The case is Stand-Up MRI v. CareCore National, E.D.N.Y. Case No: 08 Civ. 2954 (LDW) (ETB). The eight members of the jury were unanimous in their decision and awarded over $11 million in damages to the diagnostic service provider and the PCs in the case, which are to be trebled by law. The total judgment with costs and attorney fees is expected to be close to $40 million.In a press release, lead Constantine Cannon trial attorney Matthew Cantor said: “This verdict is not just important for my clients, but for patients everywhere. The evidence in this case showed that even CareCore considered the Upright MRI to be medically necessary and that, nonetheless, CareCore and its owners denied patients the ability to benefit from these important diagnostic procedures. The actions of benefits managers (RBMs) that are owned and controlled by physicians, like CareCore, must be scrutinized to ensure that patient welfare is not compromised. Constantine Cannon expects that the defendants will attempt to overturn the jury award either in post-trial motion practice or on appeal. If that occurs, Constantine Cannon will vigorously defend the decision of the jury.”"The jury found that CareCore, in league with New York-area radiologists and radiology practices that owned and/or governed CareCore, conspired to unreasonably restrain trade in the market for commercially-insured outpatient radiology procedures. The jury also found that these restraints harmed the plaintiffs — several New York radiology practices and their medical management company — that offer unique and medically necessary Upright MRI services. The Upright MRI is the only MRI that can scan patients in the weight-bearing positions that patients actually feel their pain. By doing so, Upright MRIs diagnose patient ailments, including those related to the spine, that no other MRI can,” said Cantor.Raymond Damadian, president and founder of FONAR said, “We are pleased that the Federal Court and Jury understands the medical necessity of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI aka STAND-UP® MRI. This is important for FONAR, its customers, future customers and particularly the patients who need the UPRIGHT® MRI so they can be correctly diagnosed and not be given the wrong treatment which often involves surgery. We expect this to help those patients across our nation who have been previously denied these critical examinations by the RBMs.”"FONAR`s UPRIGHT® MR technology is vital to patient needs nationwide,” said Dr. Damadian. “Back pain is the second most common reason for visiting the doctor`s office after the common cold. Close to one million spine surgeries are performed each year, but the outcomes are not good with a failure rate that varies from 10% to 40% depending on the reported study (1). Alf Nachemson, MD refers to the saddest group of these patients, those who have undergone 4, 5, or 6 spine surgeries as “multiply operated surgical cripples” (2). The surgical failure is commonly the result of operating on the wrong spinal segment (i.e. not the one responsible for the patient`s pain). This occurs because the origin of the pain is often attributed to the wrong degenerative change in the spine when the patient is imaged on a recumbent-only MRI. Degenerative changes in the adult spine are frequently multiple in number. The suspected pain generating anatomy is conventionally identified from recumbent (conventional) MRI images while the patient`s pain often occurs only when the patient is upright and when the pathology generating it is visible only when the patient is upright and fully weight-loaded.”Dr. Damadian continued, “The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI enables the patient to place himself in the position that generates his pain so that an MRI picture can be taken in the same position that generated the patient`s pain. Correctly identifying the pain generating pathology markedly improves patient surgical outcomes. In addition, it enables the surgeon to see ALL the pathology he has to address, not just the single position non-weight-bearing image provided by the conventional MRI. This enables the surgeon to see the full extent to which the disk herniation of his patient increases when he/she flexes or extends, or the extent to which the patient`s vertebra is sliding back and forth with body position and generating pain. Approximately 1 million spine surgeries are performed in the U.S. each year and technology to improve the surgical outcomes for these patients is a serious need.”"In addition, there are a wide range of other needs that patients have for FONAR`s UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MR imaging technology,” said Dr.
Damadian. “Patients who have been hospitalized, for example, with congestive heart failure, cannot lie down. In the absence of UPRIGHT ® MRI these patients are unable to receive MRI examinations when they are needed.”"Patients with scoliosis, which most commonly arises for the first time in young adolescent girls, have been reported by the National Cancer Institute (3) to experience a 70% higher incidence of breast cancer as adults than the non-scoliotic population. The increased incidence is attributed to the multiple annual chest x-rays (2-3 times per year) needed to monitor the child`s scoliosis until adulthood in order to assure satisfactory treatment.” Dr. Damadian added, “the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI provides the same necessary vertebral angle (“Cobb angle”) measurements as the x-ray (plus the needed measurements of vertebra rotation not supplied by x-ray), thereby avoiding the annual radiations of the x-ray procedure and eliminating the danger of subsequent adult breast cancer.”"Women patients, for example, as a result of the inherent trauma of childbirth to their pelvic floor anatomy, will commonly suffer the consequences of PFD (pelvic floor dystrophy) later in life. The symptoms of PFD are cystic prolapse (“falling urinary bladder”) and its chronic cystitis symptoms of urinary frequency, burning on urination, fever, and if unaddressed, chronic kidney inflammation (pyclonephritis). The patient must be upright to see it. It commonly returns to its normal position when the patient is recumbent and therefore is not diagnosed by the patient`s physician who examines her in the recumbent position. It affects 10 million women. The UPRIGHT® MRI readily visualizes the fallen bladder when these patients are upright, so that the surgeon has full image visualization of the anatomy that has to be repaired.”Another serious present need for the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the rising body of patients who are sustaining dislocations of the cervical spine from automobile collision whiplash injuries of the head and neck. The UPRIGHT® MRI is needed to assess the extent to which the brain has been dislocated [descent of the tonsils of the cerebellum] into the opening in the bottom of the skull (foramen magnum). This critical assessment of the extent of brain herniation into the opening at the base of the skull (cerebellar tonsil ectopia, or CTE) can only be determined with the patient in the upright position so that the surgical repair of this herniation and the patient`s “drop attacks” can be eliminated.

http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N39&L22&F=T Southridge Minerals, Inc. is a U.S.-based mineral exploration company dedicated to acquiring and developing mineral resources in geologically permissible and politically stable areas of the world. The Company seeks out on early state opportunities with good mineralization indicators that can carry plenty of blue-sky potential. Southridge progresses these projects that are or will be of interest to mid-size and major producers.
By forming ventures on individual projects, the Company expects to grow and maintain an interest in mines operated by its partners, allowing it to continue to build value through continued exploration. Southridge is currently focused on projects in Mexico. What sets Southridge apart is its vast experience in Mexico, the geology conditions of formation of known large gold deposits that up until now have received very little attention..
This way it can focus geographically and on a couple of commodities to give its shareholder return on their investment in the most efficient way possible. SRGE News:December 10 – Southridge Minerals Signs Definitive Agreement and Acquires Major Mexican Gold PropertiesSouthridge Enterprises Inc. (OTC: SRGE) (“Southridge” or the “Company”) announced that Southridge Minerals, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, announces today it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Cinco Minas and and Gran Cabrera Gold properties in Mexico.
The Purchase Price for the assets comprising the mineral concessions “Gran Cabrera” shall be $2,500,000. The Purchase Price for the assets comprising the mineral concessions “Cinco Minas” shall be $5,000,000.The Cinco Minas site covers roughly 10,750 hectares and is located approximately 100 kilometres northwest of the City of Guadalajara. The Gran Cabrera site covers roughly 4,300 hectares and is located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Cinco Minas. Both sites are on strike to a major regional left lateral fault system that hosts many historical areas such as the old Santo Domingo mine site, currently the subject of extensive exploration drilling by Stroud Resources Ltd., which is midway between the two historical sites.Cinco Minas property was mined between 1922 and 1928 and reported 1,083,000 tonnes of ore averaging 3.17 g/t gold and 476 g/t silver. This equates to 97,364 oz. of gold (2,760 kilograms) and 15,095,915 oz. of silver (427,954 kilograms). The Cinco Minas and Gran Cabrera properties both host epithermal systems with adularia-sericite type quartz veins with gold-silver mineralization. The main zone system at Cinco Minas has an identified strike length of approximately 5 kilometres with additional parallel to sub-parallel veins. Past mining has produced several bonanza grade veins with high gold credits. These types of structures have also been reported in the recent exploration drilling at Cinco Minas.In 2004 a resource estimate was prepared on the Cinco minas property that was based on work by independent consulting firm of Behre Dolbear de Mexico (www.dolbear.com). This estimate was based on the drilling, trenching and field exploration since 2003. Based on their examinations and calculations they reported the following:* An indicated resource of 2.27 million tonnes of 171.9 gram silver containing 12.5 million oz. of silver and 1.22 gram gold containing 89,100 of gold * An inferred resource of 400,000 tonnes of 137.9 gram silver containing 1.8 million oz. silver and 1.07 gram gold containing 13,800 oz. of gold. The Cinco Minas vein systems are classic epithermal precious metal deposits with brecciated ore hosts flooded with quartz/sulphide pulses. The mineralization is varied along strike but generally is represented with argentite, miargyrite, native silver, gold, sphalerite, and galena.
Literature and recent drilling supports that additional sources of very high-grade mineralization should be encountered along strike. The historical reports indicate that bonanza grades of silver with gold were encountered randomly during the development of both mine sites. The geology supports that potential as volcanic hosted massive sulphides are commonly concentrated and enriched when proximal to major fault systems.InfrastructureThe Hostotipaquillo regional infrastructure is moderately sophisticated.
The town of Magdalena is roughly 20 kilometres south of Cinco Minas and Tequila is another 20 kilometres southeast of Magdalena. These will be the two primary sources for material for the project. Tequila has a population of some 50,000 persons while Magdalena is roughly 25,000. The two towns have a corresponding ability to provide supplies and manpower to the project both short and long term. Whatever cannot be obtained in Tequila will have to come from Guadalajara, which is a further 80 kilometres southeast. Guadalajara is the capital of the state of Jalisco, and a custom steel centre with an estimated population of 6.3 million people in 2008.All three towns are linked with a good highway system. Modern trucking systems should be able to deliver any required bulk materials, steel, and plant equipment. The infrastructure is suitable for immediate mill tests on site with the installation of new equipment. Water storage around the pad system and other mill facilities can easily be controlled by well-engineered containment facilities. The 200 metre drop from the old mine to the old mill, town and proposed leach pad site provides for an excellent material flow for ore and water.The local population of Cinco Minas is roughly 300 persons. From that group the initial work force has been established. As the project expands, training in mine related jobs, safety and other worker skills can be undertaken. However, at the outset, additional workers will be required to provide technical expertise on site. Housing for those workers will be established by the construction of a camp situation that can be controlled with respect to services, security, and expansion.There are no extraordinary infrastructure costs or hurdles as roads, power and water are all present onsite the Cinco Minas property. The remnants of the old mill site could be quickly refitted as the land package includes the historical Cinco Minas mine and 60 Tonne mill.HistoryThe Hostotipaquillo region is steeped in a rich mining history. The original mines were small adit enterprises begun in the 1530s by the conquering Spanish, looking for high-grade silver and gold. Sporadic workings were developed where easily hand-cobbed high-grade ore could be obtained. Where large deposits of ore could be worked, the communities would develop around them to support the mine. This model of development is not much different in today`s mine industry.In many cases old workings were abandoned simply because they were too remote to continue operations or the ore began to run into silicified materials. In the vicinity of Hostotipaquillo, ore was discovered in 1605 and several mines were developed. The town soon became the administrative centre for the region and later the Municipal capital. However in the Gran Cabrera region, 10-20 kilometres northwest of the town, mining had already begun and many operations were developed. The rugged terrain made working these properties difficult and would qualify as models of excellence in mine development in rugged conditions. In examining the ruins of the Monte de El Favor and Gran Cabrera mine camps, the sheer magnitude of the regional historical development is simply amazing. While the environment has overtaken many of the roads, rail and cable footprints, the evidence still exists. The degree of adit and shaft development done in the individual mines is remarkable.While mining was growing in the Cabrera area, it was also advancing to the east towards and into Cinco Minas. In the early 1900s, a series of independent mine operations became the critical mass for the development of the town of Cinco Minas. Power was brought into the area and extensive mill operations were established. It became the local mine centre for the area and the reported 10,000 person camp resulted. The Cinco Minas deposit was developed to its peak by Marcus Daly with the Cinco Minas Mining Company.
He transformed the random mining operation into a 500 tonne per day producer by 1922.ABOUT CINCO MINAS AND AND GRAN CABRERA WORK PROGRAMOver the next several weeks, Southridge is planning to review all the historical information, resample some of the drill core from previous operators. We also plan to digitize the drilling and underground data to confirm the historical estimated tonnages and to confirm the known drill targets. It is expected that the next surface drill program should be underway in Q1 2011.INTERNATIONAL POWER GROUP LIMITED (OTCBB: IPWG) “Up 50.00% on Monday” Detailed Quote:

It provides Stand-Up/Upright MRI scanners, which allows patients to be scanned in a weight-bearing condition, such as standing, sitting, or bending in any position that causes symptoms; and FONAR 360 MRI scanner, a diagnostic scanner. The company also provides management services, including development; administration; leasing of office space, facilities, and medical equipment; provision of supplies; staffing and supervision of non-medical personnel; legal services; accounting, billing, and collection; and the development and implementation of practice growth and marketing strategies. It serves private scanning centers and hospitals worldwide. The company was founded in 1978 and is headquartered in Melville, New York.FONR News:December 13 – FONAR UPRIGHT MRI Customer Wins Jury Decision in Federal Court for Antitrust Lawsuit Versus CareCore NationalFONAR Corporation (Nasdaq: FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, announced that a provider of outpatient diagnostic services (a FONAR customer) and several Stand-Up MRI diagnostic imaging professional corporations (PCs) received a jury verdict in their favor in an anti-trust lawsuit against CareCore National, LLC, a radiology benefits management (RBM) company (www.carecorenational.com).This antitrust lawsuit involved CareCore National`s exclusion of the plaintiffs, all of them providers of MRI services using Stand-Up MRI scanners (FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRIs), from utilization by its member subscribers. CareCore Radiology, a division of CareCore National, covers more than 30 million member subscribers in all 50 states. The diagnostic service provider and the PCs were represented by Constantine Cannon LLP, New York, NY.After more than a two-week trial, the verdict was reached November 30, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The case is Stand-Up MRI v. CareCore National, E.D.N.Y. Case No: 08 Civ. 2954 (LDW) (ETB). The eight members of the jury were unanimous in their decision and awarded over $11 million in damages to the diagnostic service provider and the PCs in the case, which are to be trebled by law. The total judgment with costs and attorney fees is expected to be close to $40 million.In a press release, lead Constantine Cannon trial attorney Matthew Cantor said: “This verdict is not just important for my clients, but for patients everywhere. The evidence in this case showed that even CareCore considered the Upright MRI to be medically necessary and that, nonetheless, CareCore and its owners denied patients the ability to benefit from these important diagnostic procedures. The actions of benefits managers (RBMs) that are owned and controlled by physicians, like CareCore, must be scrutinized to ensure that patient welfare is not compromised. Constantine Cannon expects that the defendants will attempt to overturn the jury award either in post-trial motion practice or on appeal. If that occurs, Constantine Cannon will vigorously defend the decision of the jury.”"The jury found that CareCore, in league with New York-area radiologists and radiology practices that owned and/or governed CareCore, conspired to unreasonably restrain trade in the market for commercially-insured outpatient radiology procedures. The jury also found that these restraints harmed the plaintiffs — several New York radiology practices and their medical management company — that offer unique and medically necessary Upright MRI services. The Upright MRI is the only MRI that can scan patients in the weight-bearing positions that patients actually feel their pain. By doing so, Upright MRIs diagnose patient ailments, including those related to the spine, that no other MRI can,” said Cantor.Raymond Damadian, president and founder of FONAR said, “We are pleased that the Federal Court and Jury understands the medical necessity of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI aka STAND-UP® MRI. This is important for FONAR, its customers, future customers and particularly the patients who need the UPRIGHT® MRI so they can be correctly diagnosed and not be given the wrong treatment which often involves surgery. We expect this to help those patients across our nation who have been previously denied these critical examinations by the RBMs.”"FONAR`s UPRIGHT® MR technology is vital to patient needs nationwide,” said Dr. Damadian. “Back pain is the second most common reason for visiting the doctor`s office after the common cold. Close to one million spine surgeries are performed each year, but the outcomes are not good with a failure rate that varies from 10% to 40% depending on the reported study (1). Alf Nachemson, MD refers to the saddest group of these patients, those who have undergone 4, 5, or 6 spine surgeries as “multiply operated surgical cripples” (2). The surgical failure is commonly the result of operating on the wrong spinal segment (i.e. not the one responsible for the patient`s pain). This occurs because the origin of the pain is often attributed to the wrong degenerative change in the spine when the patient is imaged on a recumbent-only MRI. Degenerative changes in the adult spine are frequently multiple in number. The suspected pain generating anatomy is conventionally identified from recumbent (conventional) MRI images while the patient`s pain often occurs only when the patient is upright and when the pathology generating it is visible only when the patient is upright and fully weight-loaded.”Dr. Damadian continued, “The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI enables the patient to place himself in the position that generates his pain so that an MRI picture can be taken in the same position that generated the patient`s pain. Correctly identifying the pain generating pathology markedly improves patient surgical outcomes. In addition, it enables the surgeon to see ALL the pathology he has to address, not just the single position non-weight-bearing image provided by the conventional MRI. This enables the surgeon to see the full extent to which the disk herniation of his patient increases when he/she flexes or extends, or the extent to which the patient`s vertebra is sliding back and forth with body position and generating pain. Approximately 1 million spine surgeries are performed in the U.S. each year and technology to improve the surgical outcomes for these patients is a serious need.”"In addition, there are a wide range of other needs that patients have for FONAR`s UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MR imaging technology,” said Dr.
Damadian. “Patients who have been hospitalized, for example, with congestive heart failure, cannot lie down. In the absence of UPRIGHT ® MRI these patients are unable to receive MRI examinations when they are needed.”"Patients with scoliosis, which most commonly arises for the first time in young adolescent girls, have been reported by the National Cancer Institute (3) to experience a 70% higher incidence of breast cancer as adults than the non-scoliotic population. The increased incidence is attributed to the multiple annual chest x-rays (2-3 times per year) needed to monitor the child`s scoliosis until adulthood in order to assure satisfactory treatment.” Dr. Damadian added, “the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI provides the same necessary vertebral angle (“Cobb angle”) measurements as the x-ray (plus the needed measurements of vertebra rotation not supplied by x-ray), thereby avoiding the annual radiations of the x-ray procedure and eliminating the danger of subsequent adult breast cancer.”"Women patients, for example, as a result of the inherent trauma of childbirth to their pelvic floor anatomy, will commonly suffer the consequences of PFD (pelvic floor dystrophy) later in life. The symptoms of PFD are cystic prolapse (“falling urinary bladder”) and its chronic cystitis symptoms of urinary frequency, burning on urination, fever, and if unaddressed, chronic kidney inflammation (pyclonephritis). The patient must be upright to see it. It commonly returns to its normal position when the patient is recumbent and therefore is not diagnosed by the patient`s physician who examines her in the recumbent position. It affects 10 million women. The UPRIGHT® MRI readily visualizes the fallen bladder when these patients are upright, so that the surgeon has full image visualization of the anatomy that has to be repaired.”Another serious present need for the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the rising body of patients who are sustaining dislocations of the cervical spine from automobile collision whiplash injuries of the head and neck. The UPRIGHT® MRI is needed to assess the extent to which the brain has been dislocated [descent of the tonsils of the cerebellum] into the opening in the bottom of the skull (foramen magnum). This critical assessment of the extent of brain herniation into the opening at the base of the skull (cerebellar tonsil ectopia, or CTE) can only be determined with the patient in the upright position so that the surgical repair of this herniation and the patient`s “drop attacks” can be eliminated.
