The Chicago Tribune reports when Mars Inc. pulled the plug on its short-lived Ethel's Chocolate Lounges in the Chicago area this spring, some read it as a sign that recession-weary consumers have little appetite for reclining in plush purple chairs, eating hand-painted truffles and dipping strawberries in gooey, hot chocolate fondue.
Think again, says newfound chocolatier and small business owner Debra Jenrette.
The former owner of an office equipment firm believes there are plenty of stressed-out folks looking for a little pampering. So, after a yearlong crash course in the art of chocolate -- visiting all manner of luxury chocolate boutiques, working in a handmade -chocolate plant and tasting more chocolates than you can imagine -- Jenrette took the plunge. She purchased New York-based Anna Shea Chocolates amp; Loungefrom its Finnish namesake founder last month and is relocating its headquarters to a South Barrington shopping mall. (Shea is married to Jenrette's nephew, Tim Shea.)

You Can Handle A Medicare Audit

p According to Medical Economics, you have to take a Medicare audit seriously, because each one has the potential to result in a significant overpayment assessment, but they are not cause for undue alarm. When handled properly, they often have a minimal impact on the practice./ppMost Medicare audits are conducted by a Medicare carrier and fall into one of two broad categories: a review of claims before Medicare pays the physician, and an analysis of claims after payment. Prepayment audits, the most common type, are random sweeps in which carriers typically want to look at only one or two claims from each physician.

Investigators: Law Firm Lied For Foreign Workers

span id=slt_sitespan id=slt_articlep The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Lance Starr says he and other immigration attorneys in Utah had heard complaints about The Alcala Law Firm but didn't have evidence until recently of any possible illegalities in how it handled cases./ppBut then two former employees of the Glendale firm asked him last year to review their applications to legalize their presence in the United States, which had been prepared by principle attorney James Hector Alcala but rejected by the government. Starr spotted what appeared to be forged letters verifying that one of them had worked for Mexican employers.span
/span/ppspanThe American Fork attorney -- who had worked for the Alcala firm for less than a year beginning in 2006 and now has his own practice -- knew his former colleague had been living in Utah during the time he supposedly worked in Mexico. Starr felt ethically obligated to report his suspicions to the US Attorney's Office./span
/ppThe evidence likely was included in a federal investigation that resulted in an indictment unsealed Tuesday against Alcala, his law firm, seven current or former employees and a property management company./p/span/span |

According to The American Lawyer, three firms have landed key advisory roles on one of the most significant non-Mamp;A commercial transactions in recent months: the 10-year Internet search deal announced on Wednesday between Microsoft and Yahoo that seeks to scuttle Google's market dominance.
Under the terms of the deal, Yahoo will use and promote Microsoft's new Bing search engine on its site. Yahoo will also keep 88 percent of revenue from all search ad sales for the first five years and have the right to sell ads on select Microsoft sites.
While the lack of an up-front payment by Microsoft caused shares of Yahoo to sink early Wednesday,span style=text-decoration: underline/span the deal is a clear shot across the bow of Google, the dominant force in online search and advertising.
Yahoo turned to a team of lawyers from Skadden, Arps, Slate amp; Flom and Sheppard Mullin Richter amp; Hampton for the agreement with Microsoft. |
