NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -09/05/12)- Liberty Gold, Corp. (LBGO) has announced that they have 'visible metallics and gold' from bulk samplings taken from their properties. Initial samples were collected from 5 different locations within the Domestic Portfolio holdings to determine whether, once processed, visible gold was present at 3 different screen sizes: 100 minus, 50 minus and 25 minus. Samples from each of the 5 different locations resulted in the detection of visible metallics.
Lynn Harrison, Liberty Gold's President and CEO is encouraged by the results of the samplings and will now proceed with larger samplings to assess the full mineral potential of the property. The company has also recently announced the doubling of their Alaska claim.
In June 2012, Goldman Sachs updated its forecast on the gold price to US$ 1,940.- within the following 12 months, i.e. by mid of 2013. Barclays Capital expects a gold price of US$ 1,790.- in the fourth quarter of 2012, while Morgan Stanley now predicts gold prices to be on a level of US$ 2,000.- during that quarter.
Other active metal mining stocks are: Great Northern Iron Ore (GNI), Kaiser Aluminum (KALU) and Commercial Metals Co (CMC)

By Chelsea Conaboy, Globe Staff
The September issue of Health Affairs is focused on new ways of paying for health care, and it is chock-full of contributors from Massachusetts.
A major piece of payment overhaul today is the idea that doctors will change the way they manage care for their sickest patients if they get to share in some of the financial benefits of doing so. Ultimately, they could also lose money if they cost insurers more than expected.
A group of Boston researchers have created a primer for doctors and policymakers considering such shared-savings programs, which lead author Joel Weissman, Harvard professor and deputy director of the Center for Surgery and Public Health at Brigham and Womens Hospital, called weigh stations on the road to a fuller health care overhaul.
Many large doctor or hospital groups already have the infrastructure and know-how to assume some of the risk in caring for their patients, or to accept the possibility of losing money. Five hospital systems in Massachusetts are taking steps to do that as part of the Medicare Pioneer program.
Small practices just need to be brought along gently, Weissman said in an interview. Even the benefits-only programs are very complicated and very difficult to negotiate, he said.
Along with Needham health care consultant Michael Bailit and others, Weissman laid out a set of principles for policymakers and physicians to consider. Payers and providers must agree on the point at which they will share savings, because smaller variations in costs could be related to chance and not actual changes in how doctors treat patients, they wrote.
As often as possible, they said, payers should join forces so that doctors are not trying to meet different goals on cost and quality for each insurer.
The lack of a coherent and unified program works at cross purposes with true system redesign, they wrote. If only a minority of payers participate, then the size of the incentive may not be big enough for provider participation to be worthwhile. As a result, providers find themselves with one foot in the accountable care world and another foot in the volume-based world.
Austin Frakt, Boston University assistant professor and health economist at VA Boston Healthcare, compared accountable care organizations with the failed capitation model of the 1990s, when doctors were put on a strict budget for each patients care.

The cost of freedom under austerity is weighing more than ever on prisoners who struggle with financial instability on release and are more likely to re-offend than ever, continuing a vicious circle of crime and punishment just as prisons approach full capacity across Britain and the rest of Europe, charities say.
According to reports from nationwide prison organizations, the majority of ex-offenders struggle to cope with debt, housing costs, unemployment and austerity on release from prison.
They say that the financial factor is borne out by the the rate of recidivism - or relapse into crime- that has reached record highs in 2012 with 90 percent of prisoners having previous convictions, according to the Ministry of Justice.
Chris Bath, Executive Director of Unlock, the National Association of Reformed Offenders, told CNBC that prisoners face "enormous financial barriers" on release from prison, and he warned that the cycle of crime, punishment and re-offending - that costs the British economy 95 billion pounds ($150 billion) a year - is set to continue if the financial hardship faced by prisoners on release is not addressed.
"When you're released from prison you become a social leper...or low-skilled ex-con" he told CNBC.
"If I had a pound for every person I've met who said to me "I thought prison was going to be the hard bit," he told CNBC.
"At least in prison you have a roof over your head and food in your stomach. The moment you walk out of prison you become a social leper, a low-skilled ex-con - you are completely lost and you become nothing."
With 75 percent of employers saying they would reject someone with a conviction, Bath told CNBC that it was extremely hard for ex-offenders to return to the "straight and narrow" and find a job in a society where even the most skilled and experienced workers cannot find employment.
Indeed, with most prisoners reported to be "financially excluded" even before they enter prison and a third having no bank account, according to research by the Civil and Social Justice Survey, the chances of "going straight" and returning to a decent a law-abiding way of life when no-one will employ you is slim, Bath told CNBC.
However, with 230,000 people going through the criminal justice system every year and 9.2 million of Britons of working age having criminal records, according to the Police Crime Database, Bath told CNBC that there is an urgent problem of millions of people exiting the prison system to a "society that doesn't want them back."

WASHINGTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Airbus has clashed with the U.S. aerospace industry over whether it should be allowed to join its top domestic lobbying group, weeks after announcing plans to set up jet assembly in Alabama.
Boeing's main rival says its parent, European aerospace group EADS, should be allowed to take a seat alongside flagship UK firms Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems (LSE: BA.L - news) because it has facilities in the U.S. and already employs thousands of local workers.
It plans to add 1,000 more aerospace industry jobs by assembling some of its A320 jets in Mobile, Alabama, from 2016.
But it was rebuffed by the head of the Aerospace Industries Association, who said membership of the 93-year-old club was reserved for companies without foreign government ownership.
EADS is 15-percent owned by the French government and is in the throes of seeing a similar stake being acquired by Germany.
"Remember, this is the Aerospace Industry Association of America. We go back to (U.S. aviation pioneers) Orville Wright and Glenn Curtiss, who founded this almost a hundred years ago," AIA President and Chief Executive Marion Blakey told Reuters.

The first phase of the Biotechnology Research Center will be done soon. But the opening of the facility in Syracuse will not happen for at least a few months. This is not the first time the project has been delayed. Our Iris St. Meran tells us when we can expect it to be occupied.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- This time last year, this building was just a foundation of beams. But construction crews have been working on the first phase of the Biotechnology Research Center.
Upstate Medical University Facilities and Planning Vice President Tom Pelis said, "Phase one of the project was to construct the building shell, to finish one-and-a-half floors, which includes seven laboratories, as well as administrative offices."
That is expected to be completed in a few weeks. It's a $22 million undertaking in a partnership between Upstate Medical University and SUNY ESF. After breaking ground in 2009, construction was stalled waiting for state funding.
Work resumed last spring with a projected opening of this past June. The delay is for good reason: Additional funding was received for phase two, which will have eight smaller incubator labs.
"We thought about the time people would start moving in for phase one, we would start construction for phase two, Pelis added. That made really no sense so we don't expect occupancy to occur much before the end of the year."
This has been a labor of love and Pelis says he's proud of the progress.

Good nutrition is important at every stage of life. In fact, as you age, the risks for nutrition-related diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis increase.Yet for millions of older Americans, maintaining healthful eating habits is a struggle. Many older adults not only eat meals low in nutrients, but skip meals altogether. Poor nutrition can lead to weight loss, lightheadedness, lethargy, loss of appetite, prolonged recovery from illness and disorientation.
If you or a loved one has gotten out of the habit of eating well, take heart that food can be fun at any age. Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Centers, which support local affiliates in West Orange, Newark, Long Branch and Van Dyke Hospice and Palliative Care Center in Toms River, suggest the following to help you get back on the road to proper nutrition and good health:
Make your mouth happy. Intensify tastes by adding flavors and sweeteners, such as herbs, sauces, syrup, butter flavoring, etc. In addition, combine different textures.
Sharpen your shopping skills. Consider doing your grocery shopping at convenient times when the store is not crowded. In addition, stretch your dollars by considering unit pricing, that way you can get the same food for less.
Enjoy food with friends.Whenever possible, make eating a fun social event. Invite friends or family to join you for meals or consider joining a community group dining program where you can make new friends.
Activate your appetite. By getting exercise and remaining physically active you can boost your mood, improve your health and increase your appetite.
Complement your cooking. If you cant get all the nutrients you need from food, you may want to consider taking a vitamin and mineral supplement. Discuss with your physician which are best for you.
To learn more about eating a wellbalanced diet, contact your physician or a registered dietitian.Also, be sure to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your current diet or exercise plan.
Established in 1981, Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center provides comprehensive physical, emotional and spiritual care and support services to patients with advanced illness throughout ten counties in New Jersey.The program, which serves infants, children, adults and the elderly, honors the unique choices and values of patients and their families while offering full access to the broad array of services provided by the Barnabas Health.
