The Barn will share a 70 foot island bar with PBR and will embark floor to ceiling windows with Arch and city skyline views.

January 09, 2013 19:04 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 9, 2013) - Cassius Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CZ) (the "Company") announces that the agreement between the Company and the landowner of the El Zúngano concession is in the process of being renegotiated. Accordingly, the Company has not made the required concession payment of US $100,000, which was due on January 5, 2013 per the terms of the above noted agreement.
In the event that the parties are unable to come to terms on an amended agreement, the Company may choose to return the concession to the landowner.
The El Zúngano concession covers approximately 23,814 hectares in the Company's Nueva Segovia project area and was acquired in January 2012 as part of the Company's acquisition of Nueva Segovia Mining S.A., a private Nicaraguan company.
Further updates will be provided in due course.
On behalf of the Board of Directors
John A. Thomas, P.Eng, CEO and President
Eddy Canova, P.Geo., Director of Exploration of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43- 101, has reviewed and is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release.
This news release contains forward-looking information (within the meaning of Canadian securities laws) about the Company and its future plans. Forward-looking information reflects management's expectations or beliefs regarding future events rather than historical facts, and in this news release includes, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and resources, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "scheduled", "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "potentially", "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable at the time they are made. In making the forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, the assumption that: (1) the Company's ability to discover minerals in commercially feasible quantities in Nicaragua, (2) the Company's ability to raise the necessary financing for ongoing operations and to complete any acquisitions or pursue any planned exploration programs, (3) there being no significant disruptions affecting operations, whether due to labour/supply disruptions, damage to equipment or otherwise; (4) permitting, development, expansion and power supply proceeding on a basis consistent with the Company's current expectations; (5) certain price assumptions for gold; (6) prices for availability of natural gas, fuel oil, electricity, parts and equipment and other key supplies remaining consistent with current levels; (7) the accuracy of current mineral resource work and studies on the Company's property; and (8) labour and material costs increasing on a basis consistent with the Company's current expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, among others, risks related to the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and adequate insurance; the economy generally; fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities (e.g., diesel fuel and electricity); changes in interest rates; disruption to the credit markets and delays in obtaining financing; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses; employee relations. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward- looking statements. Except as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Reference to the section entitled "Risks and Uncertainties" immediately preceding this section.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Pedas are an all time favorite sweet. Pedas are like soft milk fudge. Pedas are grainy texture made with milk and sugar, flavored with cardamom. Peda can be served as a candy or as a dessert.
Recipe makes 24.
- 4 cup paneer
- 1/3 cup milk powder
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter (ghee)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (ilatchi)
For Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon sliced pistachios
- Check the recipe for paneer and make the paneer with whole milk. For this recipe use 4 cups of milk.
- Heat the frying pan on medium. Add butter and let it melt.
- Next add milk, milk powder, and paneer. Mix it well.
- Cook mixture on medium heat stirring continuously until mixture starts leaving the sides of the frying pan and becomes like dough. This should take about 12 minutes. Now this is known as khoya.
- Transfer the khoya into a bowl and let it cool off until khoya becomes just lukewarm.
- Mix the sugar and cardamom powder into the khoya and knead it for about a minute until every thing blends together and become soft dough. Note: if you mix the sugar while khoya is hot that will make pedas soft.
- Divide the mix into about 20 equal parts and roll them into round balls. Lightly press it down so it looks like small patty.

- Pedas should be served at room temperature.
- Pedas can be kept for few days at room temperature and about a month refrigerated.

Dr. Maira Liliestedt
Teaching Area(s): Music
Title: Associate Professor of Music
Courses Taught: Music Performance
I absolutely love playing the piano. It's one of the things that make me feel most alive. Teaching my students to play at a high level and seeing their progress and accomplishments is incredibly satisfying as well.
Professional Accomplishment
My performances as a soloist with orchestras have been some of the highlights of my career. There is an exhilaration in playing masterpieces of the piano literature with the backing of a large ensemble of musicians.
Teaching Style
I try to find out the students' own goals and steer them towards those goals within the context of the curriculum. I also think that demonstrating and showing one's passion to one's students often helps spark the students' own passion for learning, and in turn can motivate hard work, which is the most important element of education.
Except for the semester when my daughter was born, I have performed every semester that I have been at Mount Union, playing works for solo piano, chamber groups and in solo concerto settings.
Behind the Keys
I get to play and teach piano every day. Those are the things I love to do most, and I am lucky enough to do them for a living!
Mount Union has a very dedicated faculty. A student is able to receive personal attention, and that means students receive not just a fact-based education, but personal mentoring as well. As far as the music faculty, all the full-time members in our department are regular performers in their area, which makes us unique as our students can hear and see our passion for and dedication to music.
Preparing Students
We try to teach students the knowledge necessary in the field, but perhaps more importantly, we prepare them for adult life by providing guidance and serving as positive role models.
Research Interests
For a pianist, "research" involves delving further into the literature for that instrument and offering public performances. I particularly enjoy exploring the piano music of Romantic composers (meaning those of the nineteenth century), focusing especially on the music of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin.
B.M., Piano Performance, Bowling Green State University
M.M., Piano, University of Cincinnati
D.M.A., Piano, University of Cincinnati
Except for the semester when my daughter was born, I have performed every semester that I have been at Mount Union, playing works for solo piano, chamber groups and in solo concerto settings.
- If You Could Teach Another Class
- I'm not sure I would; I have hobbies, but I need to feel very comfortable with a subject before feeling like I am knowledgeable enough to teach it.
- Words from a Student
- The most touching thing a student has told me, after a recital with my duo piano partner, was, "Thank you for reminding me that music is the closest we can get to heaven here on earth." Moments and experiences like this are why I do what I do.
- Favorite Quote or Motto
- One of my favorites is, "Music is life and, like it, inextinguishable." –Carl Nielsen
- Surprising Fact about Yourself
- I love ballroom dancing: I have taken lessons for over six years and love it almost as much as playing the piano. Also, I am very much a child; I love to laugh, play and tease, and I am lucky my husband and daughter do too!
- If You Weren't a Professor
- I'd want to be a ballroom dancer.
- Places to Visit or Things to Do
- Paris—I want to see the Louvre.
- Favorite Book
- My favorite book is The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It represents patriotism, loyalty, friendship and passion. Oh, and epic sword fighting!
- Hobbies and Interests
- I love traveling and reading, but my favorite hobby is ballroom dancing, especially the passion and sizzle of Latin dances: rumba, cha-cha, samba, bolero and paso doble.

Mini has created an electric scooter called the MINI E Scooter for London design week, that uses the iPhone as the key.
The new concept scooter is powered by an electric motor and of course has an iPod dock for your phone once you've started it.
"While staying true to the features and aesthetics of the 1960s car, the design brief for the MINI E Scooter concept was to create a modern, 2-wheel vehicle suitable for built up, urban areas", says Mini.
The result is three individual scooter designs, all electrically powered and adapted to allow drivers to use a smart phone as the ignition key.
A snap-in adaptor for a Smartphone allows the driver to use their mobile device as a route finder, music player or as a phone via a wireless Bluetooth interface from the Mini "cockpit".
As soon as the rider docks his mobile phone and switches it on, the vehicle is ready to go claims Mini.
"A navigation app enables drivers to know where other MINI E Scooter E Concept drivers are on the map, similar to social networking systems, to encourage interaction between the MINI E Scooter community. Technology currently in development will mean headlights on the scooters automatically open when they meet on the road".
But rather than petrol, the MINI Scooter E Concept is driven by a built-in rear wheel electric motor which is powered by a compact lithium-ion battery.
The battery can be plugged into any standard AC power outlet. A display screen clearly indicates to the driver the amount of battery life available and the MINI Scooter E Concept can be charged via a retractable lead in the rear of the Scooter.

City to seek recycling bids
A company receiving the City of Starkville's recyclables for nearly a year will soon quit, prompting leaders to seek out a new contractor.
Starkville Recycling has about two months left of its voluntary service in the city's free curbside recycling program, which kicked off in October 2009.
The city received a termination notice from Stan Shurden, owner of Starkville Recyling, this week after months of unanswered requests for documentation on the total weight of recycling collections.
On Tuesday, the Starkville Board of Aldermen plans to advertise for bids from other recyclers, giving the companies 30 days to respond, recycling chair Eric Parker said.
"We should not miss a week of pickup as Stan is required by contract to continue to pick up for 60 more days," Parker wrote in a e-mail to the city's Recycling Committee, which met late Thursday afternoon
Environmental Services Department head Sharon Boyd said that the curbside recycling program will continue as is and possibly incorporate 63-gallon carts if additional grant funding is approved.
City officials have applied for two $25,000 state grants, one for publicizing the program and the other for equipment such as bags, carts and bins.
Boyd said she is planning a celebration of the curbside program's first anniversary, which will take place on Oct. 16.

When you hear the name Jason Derulo, the first thing that probably comes to mind is that singsongy tune that's become a signature on most of his tracks: "Jason Derulooo!"
But that soundbite is missing from his latest single, "Talk Dirty," and it's not likely to appear anywhere on his upcoming album, "Tattoos." After fracturing his neck last year, the 23-year-old singer is closing the door on his past, which includes that five-syllable sign off. "I think it's still kicking in people's heads," Derulo said about retiring the line. "Regardless if I put it in the song or not, they're still gonna sing it."

Visibly pained, Vice President Joe Biden recalls the wrenching sorrow of losing his first wife and his daughter to a car accident in 1972.
Biden tells families of fallen soldiers that the grief was such that he understood why some people contemplate suicide. But he says that in time the ache becomes more controllable. He credits his turnabout to meeting and later marrying his wife Jill.
Biden spoke Friday at the 18th annual TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp in Arlington, Va.

This season is one of continued focus on shape; the tulip skirt, the peplum, the over-sized collar. I have always leaned towards a slimmer-fit for hoodies and trousers but this season I plan to try something new. This 'Panda' hoodie from Bape fits the bill perfectly, it is quite baggy and voluminous but it has a fitted waist resulting in a highly fashionable silhouette.

It's cold out. Really cold out. And while our friends in Chicago call this type of weather "Thursday," yesterday marked the coldest daytime temperature low we've had in New York in years. Which has us wondering: what are you eating to stay warm?
It's days like this that have us have us flocking to Veselka for pierogies and latkes, or to Cocoron for a steaming bowl of soba that doubles as aromatherapy (more grated daikon please!).
Weather this cold also gives us excuse to break out the fat pants and go all in on heavier meals, like platters of Ethiopian cuisine at destinations like Awash and Queen of Sheba; eating your weight in injera doesn't feel so bad when it's 12 degrees outside. And let's not forget: booze makes you feel less cold.
So how about you, serious eaters: what are you eating to fight the cold?

Avid readers know better than anyone just how difficult it can be to store and carry hundreds of books. Book lovers can quickly rack up a high bill at the bookstore, and they may be frustrated at the lack of selection at the library. Even eReaders like the Kindle and Nook don't quite solve the problem: Quite a few readers prefer real books over electronic copies, and not all books are released electronically. Renting books provides a solution to book lovers who want a wide variety of books to choose from. Similar to Netflix for books, BooksFree allows readers to

on cd and mp3 from a selection of over 250,000 titles. Readers can rent as many books as they want at a time, with several plans available. The more books in your plan, the less each book costs, making book rentals an excellent opportunity for avid readers to save money without sacrificing their reading habits. There are no due dates or late fees. Members can keep books as long as they want and ship them back at no cost when they're done. Renting books is much more affordable than buying them; readers can save from 60 to 80 percent on the cost of books every month by renting them. Books arrive within 3-10 days of being requested, and ship immediately when you return books, so your bookshelf should never be empty for long. Readers looking for a Netflix for books service will be satisfied with BooksFree, which allows readers to read unlimited titles with one low monthly price. Readers can also trade in their own books for credit, allowing the site's rental library to expand while rewarding customers. Renting books is easy on the environment, economical and allows readers to read as many books as they want.

Senators aim to protect vets' gun rights
Bill proposed to require proof they would be a danger
Just days after WND published multiple reports about how returning veterans were being deprived of their Second Amendment rights without a court-based adjudication competency process, members of the U.S. Senate say they have had enough, and are seeking a change.
Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., is being joined by nearly a dozen of his fellow senators to make a change that would end the "arbitrary process that strips veterans of rights."
"Depriving someone of a constitutional right is a serious action, and veterans should be afforded the same treatment under the law as all other American citizens," said Burr. "This legislation would protect the rights of veterans and their families by ensuring that only a proper judicial authority is able to determine who is referred to [the National Criminal Background Check System.]"
He said, "Our veterans took an oath to uphold the Constitution and they deserve to enjoy the rights they fought so hard to protect."
Joining Burr as cosponsors were Sens. John Boozman, R-Ark.; Roger Wicker, R-Miss.; James Risch, R-Idaho; Jerry Moran, R-Kan.; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; Pat Roberts, R-Kan.; John Thune, R-S.D.; Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.; David Vitter, R-La.; Mike Crapo, R-Idaho and James Inhofe, R-Okla.
The legislation is designed to address the problem that has arisen when the VA appoints a fiduciary to help veterans with their benefits and they are "deemed mentally defective."
They then are reported to the FBI's NICS, a system "which prevents them from being able to purchase firearms in the United States."
The proposed Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act would require that a judicial authority determine that VA beneficiaries pose a danger to themselves or others before they can be added to the FBI's list.
It is the Gun Control Act that prohibits some individuals from having guns. But as of July 12, 2012, there were more than 129,000 VA beneficiaries who had been reported to NICS, "stripping them of their constitutional rights simply because VA appointed a fiduciary to act on their behalf."
Those are individuals who can help veterans who for any reason can use assistance in managing their disability compensation, pension benefits, survivors' compensation and other VA payments on behalf of a veteran, surviving spouse, dependent child or dependent parent.
The senator's office said, "VA's review process for assigning a fiduciary is meant to determine one's ability to manage VA-provided cash assistance. The process does not determine whether they are a danger to themselves or others."
WND reported just days earlier the Obama administration insists it's routine for officials to send out letters informing veterans that an unidentified "report" indicates they may be declared incompetent and consequently stripped of their Second Amendment rights.
It's the same administration that in 2009 warned that "returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists."
The 2009 report, from the Department of Homeland Security, was called "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." It also said Obama's governmental managers were "concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities."
So when hundreds, perhaps thousands, of veterans began receiving letters like the one dispatched from the Portland, Ore., office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, alarm bells went off.
WND had reported earlier that a veteran in Oregon received a letter informing him of "a report from Portland VA Medical Center on December 3, 2012."
Evidence already in
The letter warned the vet that "evidence indicates that you are not able to handle your VA benefit payments because of a physical or mental condition."
"We propose to rate you incompetent for VA purposes. This means we must decide if you are able to handle your VA benefit payments. We will base our decision on all the evidence we already have including any other evidence you sent to us."
Completion of the incompetency determination would mean a "fiduciary" would be appointed to manage the veteran's payments.
The VA also warned: "A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both."
The letter then offered the veteran an opportunity to "request a personal hearing within 30 days from the date at the top of this letter to present evidence or argument on any important point in your claim."
But it said the VA will not pay some of the expenses of the hearing.
"If we don't hear from you within the next 60 days, we will assume you have no additional evidence and do not want a hearing. After those 60 days we will make our decision using the evidence we already have and tell you our decision."
The letter was signed by K. Kalama, Veterans Service Center manager in the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs. But it didn't present the "evidence," the source of the evidence or why the veteran's competency even was questioned.
The veteran contacted the United States Justice Foundation, which defends civil and religious rights, and now that organization reports a flood of similar concerns expressed by veterans across the country.
In a statement on the organization's website, Executive Director Michael Connelly said his organization is pursuing a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Veterans Affairs to "force them to disclose the criteria they are using to place veterans on the background check list that keeps them from exercising their Second Amendment rights."
"Then we will take whatever legal steps are necessary to protect our American warriors," he wrote.
WND contacted the Department of Veterans Affairs, and spokesman Randy Noller responded with a statement that the letters were no more than routine. But questions about why the letters are being sent, what evidence is used to determine a veteran is incapable of managing his or her affairs, who provides that information and why it is provided remain unanswered.
"The Department of Veterans Affairs' policy to inform veterans of their rights regarding the Brady Act has not changed," the statement said. "As has been policy for multiple administrations, VA acts in accordance with federal law and works with the Department of Justice to properly maintain the NICS database. VA notifies any veteran who may be deemed by VA to be mentally incapable of managing his or her own funds of the opportunity to contest this determination and also to seek relief from the reporting requirements under the Brady Act, as required by law."
Also unanswered were who makes the decision to put in motion the department's decision to "deem" veterans "mentally incapable" and protections are recognized for veterans before their constitutional rights are withdrawn.
The VA did include some background that the law allows such actions for those who "have been 'adjudicated as a mental defective.'" But the VA declined to provide information about any adjudication process.
It only said, "Before VA makes determinations of incompetency it affords the affected individuals due process – advance notice and an opportunity to be heard and submit evidence of their ability to manage funds."
The letters, apparently, comprise the notice.
But all does not sit well with Connelly, whose organization is digging now into matter.
The Oregon letter, he said, sounds "like something right from a documentary on a tyrannical dictatorship somewhere in the world."
"Yet, as I write this I have a copy of such a letter right in front of me," he said. "It is being sent by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of America's heroes."
No specifics
Connelly noted the letter "provides no specifics on the reasons for the proposed finding of incompetency; just that is based on a determination by someone in the VA."
"In every state in the United States no one can be declared incompetent to administer their own affairs without due process of law and that usually requires a judicial hearing with evidence being offered to prove to a judge that the person is indeed incompetent," he explained.
"This is a requirement of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that states that no person shall 'be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.'
"Obviously, the Department of Veterans Affairs can't be bothered by such impediments as the Constitution, particularly since they are clearly pushing to fulfill one of Obama's main goals, the disarming of the American people. Janet Napolitano has already warned law enforcement that some of the most dangerous among us are America's heroes, our veterans, and now according to this letter from the VA they can be prohibited from buying or even possessing a firearm because of a physical or mental disability," Connelly wrote.
Connelly argued there "are no clear criteria for the VA to declare a veteran incompetent."
"It can be the loss of a limb in combat, a head injury, a diagnosis of PTSD, or even a soldier just telling someone at the VA that he or she is depressed over the loss of a buddy in combat. In none of these situations has the person been found to be a danger to themselves or others. If that was the case than all of the Americans who have suffered from PTSD following the loss of a loved one or from being in a car accident would also have to be disqualified from owning firearms. It would also mean that everyone who has ever been depressed for any reason should be disarmed. In fact, many of the veterans being deprived of their rights have no idea why it is happening," Connelly said.
He said the issue raises another huge question.
"We have to ask who will be next. If you are receiving a Social Security check will you get one of these letters? Will the government declare that you are incompetent because of your age and therefore banned from firearm ownership. It certainly fits in with the philosophy and plans of the Obama administration," he wrote.
Read the letter:
Bob Maginnis, senior fellow for national security at Family Research Council, which was attacked by an unstable left-winger with a gun just last year, told WND there is a legitimate concern that some veterans affected by the stress and violence of war may not be good candidates to possess arms caches.
There are processes, however, that should be followed, he said.
Maginnis is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and senior strategist with the Army and has served in study groups for the Army chief of staff.
He notes that of those veterans returning from Middle East conflicts, battle wounds and skeleton issues are the top two reasons for their departure. Third is mental issues.
And it's a fact that suicide among veterans is higher than the general population, he said.
Big Brother? Read all about him, in "One Nation Under Surveillance."
"It would not be hard to conclude that perhaps people who have been in combat and have now had to go find medical assistance … could potentially be a marker for problems," he said.
"Look at the veteran population that is homeless. That's a marker as well."
But he also said for the government "to suggest they're going to come in and take over financial situation without a court order; I'm very concerned about that."
Rees Lloyd, a longtime civil rights attorney who is past commander and judge advocate for the American Legion in California, told WND the issue is not that complicated: A government power is announcing to veterans they will be stripped of their rights unless they can prove themselves innocent.
Deemed guilty
"I don't know of any other class of Americans being deemed to be guilty rather than presumed to be innocent," he told WND. "What the VA is doing, and has done consistently, is treat American veterans if we are the enemy, instead of the defenders of America."
He said the issue was being brought to the attention of the Legion.
"I would think it's very likely there will be a resolution soon," he said.
"I don't know any of other Americans 'deemed' to be incompetent because of [war injuries and stress,]" he said. "I have stress every time I read of the latest government atrocities. They haven't classified me yet that I can't obtain a weapon."
He called it the "bureaucratic version of racial profiling."
"If you have stress and you're a vet, you can't own a weapon," he said.
WND previously reported DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano made terrorists portrayed in a public service announcement look Caucasian.
The PSA depicted a typical woman terrorist would be Caucasian, in her late 20s or early 30s, with brunette hair, stylish clothing, high heels and a shoulder bag. A man? About the same age, short hair, wearing a shirt and slacks and familiar with technology, as he's wearing an earpiece cellphone. And Caucasian.
The PSA asks that people watch out for those types of individuals and report them to authorities.
As WND reported, a West Point study released by the U.S. Military Academy's Combating Terrorism Center linked those with "fundamental" positions, such as opposing abortion, to terror.
The study, "Challenges from the Sidelines: Understanding America's Violent Far-Right," says the major far-right threats are from "a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement."
Active threat
Author Arie Perliger cites "anti-abortionists" as an active threat for terrorist activity.
"The anti-abortionists have been extremely productive during the last two decades, amassing 227 attacks, many of them perpetrated without the responsible perpetrators identified or caught," Perliger wrote. "And while, in both cases, the 1990s were more violent than the last decade, in the case of anti-abortion, the trend is much more extreme, as 90 percent of attacks were perpetrated before 2001."
American Life League President Judie Brown believes this is a smear tactic.
"I can see exactly what is going on with reference to the pro-life movement. The use of two words expose the bias and hatred for what we stand for as a movement. Those words are 'attacks' and 'violence'," Brown said.
Herb Titus, a constitutional law professor, former dean of the Regent University School of Law and distinguished fellow with the Inter-American Institute for Philosophy, Government, and Social Thought, says it's an attempt to link conservative thought with violence.
"Professor Perliger has adopted the strategy of many left-wing members of the professoriate, concentrating on the behavior of a few in order to discredit many who hold similar views but who do not engage in any form of violence," Titus said.
"His theory is that of the iceberg, that which as seen may be small, but it hides what is a much larger threat just below the surface. Obviously, the professor disagrees with those who favor small government, cutting back of federal government encroachments upon the powers of the state and to discredit this movement focuses on a few gun-toting militia," Titus said.
Titus turns his attention to who he believes is the source of the study.
"Like so many in the Obama administration, Perliger does not want to engage in any dialogue on the issues, but just discredit an entire political movement by ad hominem charged words," Titus said. "Perliger is not a serious scholar, but a propagandist for the existing regime."
Said Connelly about the developing controversy with veterans: "The reality is that Obama will not get all of the gun control measures he wants through Congress, and they wouldn't be enough for him anyway. He wants a totally disarmed America so there will be no resistance to his plans to rob us of our nation."

In his Feb. 3 Herald column, Garth Buchanan writes that scientific assertions available on social media are likely neither grounded in scientific method nor statistically accurate and tend toward self-reinforcement. I expect hes right.
However, what is the science layman to do? Buchanan holds a doctorate degree. and has worked in scientific design and mathematical analysis of scientific results. Few of us have any understanding of statistics. When I took a statistics course in graduate school, it seemed that half the class was scared stiff of the material. Even fewer high school- or college-educated folks have the ability to analyze scientific data. Besides, as Buchanan points out, peer-reviewed research is hidden behind a subscription fee and likely unavailable to the layman. Few can afford to spend their precious time to educate themselves or to spend the money to access the research.
Nor is peer-reviewed research a sure bet for truth. An article in the most recent Discover magazine recounts research to isolate a virus thought to cause chronic fatigue syndrome. Peer-reviewed articles offered competing views. Ultimately, a 7- to 10-year-old man-made contaminant was shown to have caused the problem with the original research.
Other problems can crop up. Big businesses conduct and pay for research, but its hard to resist temptations to: a) withhold unsupportive data; b) not publish the data at all; c) completely make up data; d) pressure scientists to produce positive results or e) report results prematurely. Unethical scientists might take shortcuts themselves if pressured to publish or theyre looking for 15 minutes of fame.
Medical research probably has the most immediate impact on peoples lives, because pain, illness and death can result from flawed research. It probably doesnt make much difference in peoples ordinary lives if we find the Higgs boson or water on Mars or map an elephants entire genome.
We should remember that truth can be a shifting target. Ive had the feeling when reading Buchanans column that he knows the truth. And he comes across as a shill for big business. A bit of humility wouldnt hurt.

The fact that Apple
Before the stock market opened Thursday, Apple's shares had fallen in the past 12 months. Still, the company was able to provide investors with a positive return, albeit one that significantly underperforms the S&P 500's (INDEXSP:.INX) near 12% gain.
The key is Apple's $2.65-per-share dividend that the Cupertino, Calif.-based company instituted in March 2012. Apple forecasts the program will return $45 billion in cash to investors over a three-year period.
Apple's current dividend has an appeal to investors, even amid the company's poor share performance in the past year and cries by the likes of Einhorn for bigger payouts.
In fact, the three quarterly dividends of $2.65 per share paid out to investors represent the company's only return in the past year.
Focusing on the almost $8 per share in dividends that Apple has paid out in the past three quarters is a shortsighted way of looking at the company, given its success in developing blockbuster products and near-record earnings.
Nevertheless, Apple's dividend-centric total return indicates the company may be entering new territory when it comes to thinking about returning cash to investors as a way to keep them invested in the stock.
Currently, Apple faces increasing uncertainty on the direction of its profit margins, as Google
Meanwhile, billions in telecom carrier iPhone subsidies given by Verizon
In spite of those threats, Apple is poised to post awe-inspiring earnings in coming quarters as iPhone 5 and iPad Mini sales ramp up. As such, hedge funders like Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Management feel the company's single-digit forward earnings multiple represent an obvious value, in a tech sector marked by the sky-high valuations of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
Those selling shares in the company in recent months appear to be concerned about Apple's future products, given reports of moderate tweaks to its existing set of smartphones and tablets, and a vague push into the streaming-media business.
It is Apple's dividend policy that could be a ballast for investors as the company's existing products mature and the public awaits a new gadget that redefines the consumer electronics market.
Apple's one-year share performance -- or lack thereof -- should signal to Chief Executive Tim Cook that new thinking is still needed when it comes to the company's dividend policy after instituting a shareholder payout in 2012.
On Thursday, Einhorn appealed to Apple investors to vote for a provision in the company's annual proxy that would retain its ability to pay a preferred stock dividend. In May, Einhorn said Apple's cash, which now stands at $137.1 billion, or $145 per share, could be put toward a perpetual preferred stock dividend of between 4% to 6%.
"Over the past several months, we have had an ongoing dialogue with Apple regarding one option to do so, namely the creation of a new security, a perpetual preferred stock that would be distributed at no cost to Apple's existing shareholders, and would provide an attractive, sustainable dividend while preserving Apple's financial resources to pursue its business strategy," Einhorn said in a letter to investors.

The harp and cello are beautiful together
Reviewer: Customer
I think this is my favorite CD ever. The harp and cello really go well together, and the arrangements are beautiful. If you want something nice and relaxing, this will fit the bill. I really like all of Kim's CDs, but I think this one is the best.
Warm, sweet and deeply moving
Reviewer: Brianna Neal USA
Kim Robertson's harp and Virginia Kron's cello blend beautifully to take the listener on a gentle, healing journey. Most of the selections were composed or arranged by Robertson. I learned to do Reiki and other forms of energetic healing to this serene, heartfelt music, and I always return to it when I feel the need to de-stress and re-open myself to a loving, higher source.
The Beautiful Women Of Ireland
Reviewer: Christopher A. Fulkerson San Francisco
This is a really wonderful CD, not least because the first selection, "Women of Ireland," is performed so beautifully as to be a virtual archetype of musical performance. ("Women of Ireland" is known to anyone who has seen the movie "Barry Lyndon.")
Kim Robertson's repertoire includes timeless Celtic melodies, classical, Renaissance and medieval works, and original compositions which, since the release of her 1991 album, Angels in Disguise, also feature her beautiful lyrics and vocals.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Kim Robertson began studying piano at age eight, continuing on into college as a piano major. I was in Kim Robertson's senior year of high school that Kim first began to learn the pedal or orchestral harp. "I was never a very good pedal harp student since I was not interested in a symphonic career. I found it fascinating only as a sideline."
Kim Robersons introduction to improvisation early on by a jazz pianist enlarged her musical vision, freeing her from the need for written music. This freedom influenced both her piano and classical harp training, building trust in her own creative instincts and allowing many future innovations in her style.
In the mid-70's, Kim Robertson discovered the Celtic harp. This quickly evolved into a profound love for the instrument and set her upon the original path of exploration for which she is renowned. In 1979, she moved to the California coast where she was approached by Invincible Music.
The first recording session turned into her debut recording Wind Shadows with producer Liv Singh Khalsa, a rich blend of old Irish melodies and original compositions whose success projected Kim Robertson onto the vanguard of the new acoustic scene.
Kim Robertson's love affair with Celtic music has blossomed into a highly visible performing, recording, and teaching career. Her work encompasses 18 recording projects including Tender Shepherd, Love Song to a Planet, and her 1993 appearance on the Sugo harp anthology Harvest Moon. Kim Robertson has published nine volumes of harp arrangements and two instructional videos and pursues an international itinerary of concerts, workshops, and retreats. Through the prism of the Celtic harp, one of the world's oldest and most loved instruments, Kim Robertson has found and focused her artistic vision to create an intimate and universal chamber music of the heart.

when two vehicles approach a 4 way stop intersection simultaneously and both believe they have right away and continue to proceed, only to find they are both on a collision course, one driver eventually bails out and allows the other to pass, losing the game of stop sign chicken.
Yesterday I was cruising with my boy after a sales call when some Yo had the audacity to take me as some sort of chump and proceed through our intersection when much to his dismay I whooped that ass at a good ol fashion game of stop sign chicken putting him on notice that I don't back down.
