About That One Guy
Really? You went with an article that chose measles as the counter-vaccination argument?
A (not so)little light reading might be illuminating. In particular pay attention to the first (pre-vaccine)numbers listed compared to the (post-vaccine)numbers towards the end.
TL:DR version: The numbers pre-vaccination are all sorts of nasty, so you'll excuse me if I'm not buying the 'vaccines are just a plot/don't work' arguments. Society has seen what happens without vaccinations and it's not pretty, yet that's what the anti-vaccination people seem to be pushing for, hence why they can get a rather hostile/dismissive reception at times.
Secular Trends in the United States
Before 1963, approximately 500,000 cases and 500 deaths were reported annually, with epidemic cycles every 2–3 years. However, the actual number of cases was estimated at 3–4 million annually. More than 50% of persons had measles by age 6, and more than 90% had measles by age 15. The highest incidence was among 5–9-year-olds, who generally accounted for more than 50% of reported cases.
In the years following licensure of vaccine in 1963, the incidence of measles decreased by more than 95%, and 2–3-year epidemic cycles no longer occurred. Because of this success, a 1978 Measles Elimination Program set a goal to eliminate indigenous measles by October 1, 1982 (26,871 cases were reported in 1978). The 1982 elimination goal was not met, but in 1983, only 1,497 cases were reported (0.6 cases per 100,000 population), the lowest annual total ever reported up to that time.
Measles Resurgence in 1989–1991
From 1989 through 1991, a dramatic increase in reported measles cases occurred. During these 3 years a total of 55,622 cases were reported (18,193 in 1989; 27,786 in 1990; 9,643 in 1991). In addition to the increased number of cases, a change occurred in their age distribution. Prior to the resurgence, school-aged children had accounted for the largest proportion of reported cases. During the resurgence, 45% of all reported cases were in children younger than 5 years of age. In 1990, 48% of patients were in this age group, the first time that the proportion of cases in children younger than 5 years of age exceeded the proportion of cases in 5–19-year-olds (35%).
Overall incidence rates were highest for Hispanics and blacks and lowest for non-Hispanic whites. Among children younger than 5 years of age, the incidence of measles among blacks and Hispanics was four to seven times higher than among non-Hispanic whites.
A total of 123 measles-associated deaths were reported during this period (death-to-case ratio of 2.2 per 1,000 cases). Forty-nine percent of deaths were among children younger than 5 years of age. Ninety percent of fatal cases occurred among persons with no history of vaccination. Sixty-four deaths were reported in 1990, the largest annual number of deaths from measles since 1971.
The most important cause of the measles resurgence of 1989–1991 was low vaccination coverage. Measles vaccine coverage was low in many cities, including some that experienced large outbreaks among preschool-aged children throughout the early to mid-1980s. Surveys in areas experiencing outbreaks among preschool-aged children indicated that as few as 50% of children had been vaccinated against measles by their second birthday, and that black and Hispanic children were less likely to be age-appropriately vaccinated than were white children.
In addition, measles susceptibility of infants younger than 1 year of age may have increased. During the 1989–1991 measles resurgence, incidence rates for infants were more than twice as high as those in any other age group. The mothers of many infants who developed measles were young, and their measles immunity was most often due to vaccination rather than infection with wild virus. As a result, a smaller amount of antibody was transferred across the placenta to the fetus, compared with antibody transfer from mothers who had higher antibody titers resulting from wild-virus infection. The lower quantity of antibody resulted in immunity that waned more rapidly, making infants susceptible at a younger age than in the past.
Measles Since 1993
Reported cases of measles declined rapidly after the 1989–1991 resurgence. This decline was due primarily to intensive efforts to vaccinate preschool-aged children. Measles vaccination levels among 2-year-old children increased from 70% in 1990 to 91% in 1997.
Since 1993, fewer than 500 cases have been reported annually, and fewer than 200 cases per year have been reported since 1997. A record low annual total of 37 cases was reported in 2004. Available epidemiologic and virologic data indicate that measles transmission in the United States has been interrupted. The majority of cases are now imported from other countries or linked to imported cases. Most imported cases originate in Asia and Europe and occur both among U.S. citizens traveling abroad and persons visiting the United States from other countries. An aggressive measles vaccination program by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has resulted in record low measles incidence in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the interruption of indigenous measles transmission in the Americas. Measles elimination from the Americas was achieved in 2002 and has been sustained since then, with only imported and importation-related measles cases occuring in the region.
On to the flu.
How the Flu Virus Can Change: "Drift" and "Shift"
Influenza viruses are constantly changing. They can change in two different ways.
One way they change is called "antigenic drift." These are small changes in the genes of influenza viruses that happen continually over time as the virus replicates. These small genetic changes usually produce viruses that are pretty closely related to one another, which can be illustrated by their location close together on a phylogenetic tree. Viruses that are closely related to each other usually share the same antigenic properties and an immune system exposed to an similar virus will usually recognize it and respond. (This is sometimes called cross-protection.)
But these small genetic changes can accumulate over time and result in viruses that are antigenically different (further away on the phylogenetic tree). When this happens, the body's immune system may not recognize those viruses.
This process works as follows: a person infected with a particular flu virus develops antibody against that virus. As antigenic changes accumulate, the antibodies created against the older viruses no longer recognize the "newer" virus, and the person can get sick again. Genetic changes that result in a virus with different antigenic properties is the main reason why people can get the flu more than one time. This is also why the flu vaccine composition must be reviewed each year, and updated as needed to keep up with evolving viruses.
The other type of change is called "antigenic shift." Antigenic shift is an abrupt, major change in the influenza A viruses, resulting in new hemagglutinin and/or new hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins in influenza viruses that infect humans. Shift results in a new influenza A subtype or a virus with a hemagglutinin or a hemagglutinin and neuraminidase combination that has emerged from an animal population that is so different from the same subtype in humans that most people do not have immunity to the new (e.g. novel) virus. Such a "shift" occurred in the spring of 2009, when an H1N1 virus with a new combination of genes emerged to infect people and quickly spread, causing a pandemic. When shift happens, most people have little or no protection against the new virus.
While influenza viruses are changing by antigenic drift all the time, antigenic shift happens only occasionally. Type A viruses undergo both kinds of changes; influenza type B viruses change only by the more gradual process of antigenic drift.
'Since the late 19th century, five occurrences of antigenic shifts have led to pandemics (1889–1891, 1918–1920, 1957–1958, 1968–1969, and 2009-2010). A pandemic may start from a single focus and spread along routes of travel. Typically, there are high attack rates involving all age groups, and mortality is usually markedly increased. Severity is generally not greater in the individual patient (except for the 1918–1919 strain), but because large numbers of persons are infected, the number, if not the proportion, of severe and fatal cases will be large. Onset may occur in any season of the year. Secondary and tertiary waves may occur up to 2 years later, usually in the winter.
In April 2009, a novel influenza A(H1N1) virus appeared and quickly spread across North America. By May 2009 the virus had spread to many areas of the world. Influenza morbidity caused by 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus remained above seasonal baselines throughout spring and summer 2009 and was the cause of the first influenza pandemic since 1968.
In the United States, the 2009 pandemic was characterized by a substantial increase in influenza activity in Spring 2009 that was well beyond seasonal norms. Influenza activity peaked in late October 2009, and returned to the seasonal baseline by January 2010. During this time, more than 99 percent of viruses characterized were the 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) virus.
In January 2011, CDC estimated that pandemic H1N1 influenza virus caused more than 60 million Americans to become ill, and led to more than 270,000 hospitalizations and 12,500 deaths. Ninety percent of hospitalizations and deaths occurred in persons younger than 65 years of age. With typical seasonal influenza approximately 90% of deaths occur in persons older than 65 years.
(Pretty nasty right? Yeah, comparatively that was a walk in the park.)
'The pandemic of "Spanish" influenza in 1918–1919 caused an estimated 21 million deaths worldwide. The first pandemic of the 21st century occurred in 2009–2010.'
For practical purposes, the duration of immunity following inactivated influenza vaccination is less than 1 year because of waning of vaccine-induced antibody and antigenic drift of circulating influenza viruses. Influenza vaccine efficacy varies by the similarity of the vaccine strain(s) to the circulating strain and the age and health status of the recipient. Vaccines are effective in protecting about 60% of healthy vaccinees younger than 65 years of age from illness when the vaccine strain is similar to the circulating strain. However, the vaccine is less effective in preventing illness among persons 65 years of age and older.
Although the vaccine is not highly effective in preventing clinical illness among the elderly, it is effective in preventing complications and death. Some studies show that, among elderly persons, the vaccine is 50%–60% effective in preventing hospitalization and 80% effective in preventing death. During a 1982–1983 influenza outbreak in Genesee County, Michigan, unvaccinated nursing home residents were four times more likely to die than were vaccinated residents.
What is the evidence that influenza vaccines work?

The most perfect law in the world would be completely and utterly useless, nothing but a waste of paper and ink if there's no penalty in place for non-compliance.
Sure you can write a law that makes it a legal requirement for the police to inform members of the public that they are absolutely within their rights to refuse a search, but that's meaningless if when they don't there's no punishment.
You can write a law that makes it a legal requirement for police to respect the rights of the public, and bars them from abuse of power in any form, but you're just wasting your time if there's no penalty when they ignore the law and do so anyway.
A law requiring that police inform the citizenry that they have rights and it's legal for them to exercise them is a nice thought, but it's skipping the biggest problem, where police are never held accountable for their actions and therefore have no reason to care about the laws(and in fact with 'good faith exception' they are motivated to know as little about the law as possible).
Make them care about following the laws and then you can move on to writing up laws to curb abuse of power, before that you're just wasting time for nothing more than empty PR.
That's why it's just implied, not stated outright.
According to the article she referred to it as 'the gold standard' in 2012, if memory serves the actual text was only made public last year, 2015, so either she was one of the very few non-industry that had access and saw nothing wrong with it, or she was just parroting the spin about it like a good little tool.
I'm guessing this is a (laughably obvious) attempt to demonstrate that he can show 'mercy' to those that oppose him as well as brutality, an attempt to disguise his tyrannical, thuggish nature. That it comes at the same time as he's busy purging 'his' country of those that might have stood up to him makes it a pathetic attempt, but I suppose he figures no-one will be willing to stand up and call him on it at this point.
You're saying that an American's civic duty includes: • Voting • Jury duty • Cooperating with police.
My focus wasn't on the 'civic duty' part so much as the absurd idea thrown out by the police chief, but addressing your questions I'd probably say yes, yes and no respectively.
The first two are (theoretically) how the public makes sure that the 'right' people are representing their interests and acting as a check against unjust laws and overzealous prosecutors who care more about convictions than seeing justice done, while the third has a chance to negate the first two if applied blindly or poorly.
If someone chooses to be cooperative or helpful to police rather than the absolute minimum required that's up to them, but I don't feel in the slightest that it should ever be seen as an obligation or duty to do so, especially when it comes to actions that are violations of a person's rights. The police are intended to serve the public and society, not the other way around.
If police want people to want to help them then they need to work on doing something about their toxic reputation, and the idea that people should feel obligated to help, even at the cost of their rights just because a cop feels like doing something isn't exactly helping that.
Personal responsibility?! For police?! Perish the thought, holding police personally accountable for their actions would be insane, and a completely uncalled for and unfair imposition! /poe
You only have one counterargument, and because it is quite flawed "it is not a human being" you have to put it in bold letters and act as if this answers everything.
Because it does. The grounds for the lawsuit is copyright infringement, monkeys are legally incapable of owning a copyright, and the picture is in the public domain as a result, meaning there's no violation possible. As such the lawsuit is without merit.
When the core concept behind a lawsuit is that flawed you don't really need to spend much time analyzing or considering the merits beyond that.
When you say "The monkey has no fucking clue about the copyright" you have to give some proof for that assumption on your side, instead of trying to ridicule those who think differently.
Umm, no, you've got the burden of proof dead backwards there. Monkeys not understanding copyright law in particular, or any law in general is, I would imagine, fairly well settled at this point.
While certain legal antics can certainly seem to be done by monkeys it's generally accepted that there are few if any monkeys with the knowledge of law and/or copyright, so the idea that the monkey in question has no idea that any of this is occurring, and even less knowledge of what any of it means can be fairly safely assumed to be the default position.
(That said I am absolutely open to a demonstration that the monkey in question understands the law in question and knowingly chose these particular lawyers to represent them in court, as such a demonstration would almost certainly be downright hilarious.)
WATERBURY — Police Chief Vernon L. Riddick Jr. brought a message of cooperation with police to a mostly African-American crowd of more than 200 people at Mount Olive A.M.E. Zion Church on Wednesday night.
If an officer stops your car, if they ask to search your person or vehicle, if they demand entry into your home, comply and then complain later to the department's internal affairs office and police chief's office if you feel your rights have been violated, Riddick said.
Yeah, no. That argument/threat might make at least some sense if he was phrasing it as a matter of safety('You don't want to make the police mad, they can make your life all sorts of unpleasant/short purely on a whim.'), but 'cooperation'? Not even close.
That's not 'cooperation', that's rolling over and letting your rights be violated, potentially screwing you over later on('The accused willingly let us perform the search, and as such any evidence found should not be suppressed.'), under the idea that (barring the police union) the two groups least interested in punishing police for violations will do something about it at some point down the line.
It's amazing he can travel anywhere safely with blinders as large as the ones he seems to be wearing.
At this point I'm pretty sure I'd take Cthulhu over the current possibilities, as at least he(it?) is honest.
This again?
I'm really hoping this is an honest question by someone who's not read the previous articles on the subject, and in case it is...
A camera trap is specifically set up to take pictures under certain conditions, conditions decided on and created by a human(in other words someone capable of owning a copyright), meaning the human involved has at least some creative input over the picture. The camera is positioned at this position, pointed in this direction, and so on.
In this case however there was no 'creative input' on the part of a human at all. Slater, by his own words(originally, before he realized the impact of them), screwed up and left a very valuable piece of equipment in reach of several monkeys. Thanks to a high amount of luck on his part they ended up taking a bunch of pictures rather than taking the camera and/or smashing it to pieces, but by no stretch was he involved in the creation of the pictures, meaning no one capable of owning a copyright had any creative input in the creation of the pictures, hence no copyright.
If the white hats don't find it the black hats will, and if the white hats are scared off from reporting by threats of what happens to anyone who exposes system/security vulnerabilities then the first a company is likely to learn about a vulnerability is when someone exploits it maliciously, rather than just for research/investigation purposes.
What is the difference, apart from more hot air on the Hill?
'All or nothing', which is what is comes down to with FTA makes it much harder to kill off an 'agreement' without a politician opening themselves up to a PR nightmare as their opponents pick out the few good bits and use the fact that they voted against the entire thing against them.
"They didn't vote against it because of the 'Kick an orphan every tuesday' clause, they voted against improving the economy and increasing jobs."
Crap to be sure, but effective crap given most politicians think first and foremost about maintaining their position, now and in the future. If that means voting for kicking a few orphans in order to be able to boast about how much they care about jobs, so be it.
'No' as a protest vote sounds all well and good, but on something like this there is enormous pressure to pass it from those that bought it and those in office who want to use it for PR/'legacy' purposes, no matter how many toxic clauses are scattered inside, and FTA means they don't even have a chance to do something about those clauses.
Or put another way, politicians are an inherently lazy lot, they wouldn't have spent nearly as much time and effort pushing for FTA if the difference between having it and not having it was that negligible.
As far as I know FTA will remain in place two years into the next presidential term, with the possibility of one(or more) 'extensions' after that.
The problem comes about because diseases, like any other organism have the capacity to mutate/evolve, but if they are 'killed on sight' as it were by a body already prepared for them via vaccination then they don't really have the chance to do so.
An un-vaccinated host on the other hand gives the disease time to stick around and potentially mutate, to the point where there's a chance that a vaccination against a particular strain won't work against the 'new' strain, leaving everyone right back at square one.
There's also herd immunity and protecting those that legitimately can't be vaccinated for one reason or another, meaning their only defense is to have those around them act as a buffer. They don't get sick because those surrounding them can't get sick basically, a protection that goes away when those around them don't vaccinate, leaving holes in the buffer that a disease can slip through.
So he'd rather be known as someone willing to share private patient info just to cover his own ass than someone who doesn't pay enough attention to his patients?
The future is easy to tell, just look at history.
Awesome, so you should have no problem whatsoever telling me ahead of time which promises a given politician will and will not uphold, what they'll do should they be elected that differs from what they claimed they would do, how the influence of the system will affect their actions in specific way and so on.
It gets repeated with people like you.
Oh by all means, feel free to explain just what kind of person you think I am that leads you to make such a statement.
You hate the fact that I am right about citizens never being blameless and attack the messenger.
Nice strawman there, make sure to keep it away from open flames.
Citizens have some blame, but when the system itself is corrupt barring extreme actions there's only so much that can be done, with 'vote better next time' coming in towards the bottom of the list.
I am just informing those looking to escape blame, that there is no escape.
No, you seem to be more interested in shifting the blame from those that actually do something to a group for not being able to tell the future, and who are working with an extremely corrupt system that makes changing things just a wee bit more difficult than 'Vote for the right person next time'.
But I can say with 100% certainty that politicians are blamed too much.
Complete and total crap. It doesn't matter if people aren't voting in the 'right' people, politicians are still responsible for their own actions, unless you are going to claim that somehow the public is forcing them to screw over the public for personal gain? You seem to have no problem blaming the public for not being held responsible for their actions, while putting for the idea that politicians aren't responsible for their actions.
For all the claims of personal responsibility on the part of the public you sure don't seem to think that politicians should be held to much if any.
What manner or sanity is this? To abdicate your responsibilities while simultaneously holding others to theirs!
Like, oh I dunno, saying that people get the government they deserve, ignoring the question of how the citizens are to blame when the politicians lie and act contrary to how they claimed they would act? How the citizens are to blame when the government lies to them and hides it's actions, and it basically requires a whistleblower willing to sacrifice their career and often liberty for the public to know what's being done by their own government?
No really, continue to blame the citizens for not being able to tell the future and not being informed when they've been deliberately kept in the dark.
Corporations really have to learn that they don't own the world without even bothering to keep up their part of the deal.
The problem is that they have learned, in particular they've learned that if you have enough money and/or the right connections you can pretty much do whatever you want without repercussions, and at most you might have to throw some sod to the wolves and pretend to be so very sorry that you got caught doing something.
There will be a settlement with confidential terms. It will still set up a model for other litigants but at least not for other judges.
Ah right, can't believe I forgot about the ultimate 'Get out of unwanted precedent' ploy of settlements.
Company does something that might get them into hot water.
Someone takes them to court over the matter.
Rather than risk a ruling that might be actually damaging and/or set a precedent they don't like, they throw money at the problem and watch it disappear.
And like that, ruling and precedent avoided, and all it took was some pocket change.
A 'guided tour' of the facility I imagine, for a nice little 'chat' regarding your actions.
The FBI, much like many other government agents/agencies operates under a 'One rule for me, another for thee' mindset, meaning just because they've been given the clear to bug public areas to listen in to conversations of members of the public it doesn't mean they would accept anyone doing the same to them.

The role of diet in the management of gout: a comparison of knowledge and attitudes to current evidence
Abstract:Abstract Background:
Evidence supports dietary modifications in the management of gout. Despite this, the degree of implementation of this evidence by nutrition professionals and rheumatologists and those affected by gout is unknown. The present study aimed to compare usual dietary practices of patients with gout to evidence for dietary management of gout and to investigate whether the knowledge and attitudes of nutrition professionals and rheumatologists reflects current evidence. Methods:
A food frequency questionnaire was used to determine usual dietary intake of patients with gout, a separate questionnaire examined gout-related dietary modifications (n = 29). Online questionnaires to examine attitudes towards dietary management of gout were completed by nutrition professionals and rheumatologists. Results:
Proportions of participants whose reported intakes were inconsistent with current evidence for the dietary management of gout were: alcohol, n = 14 (48%); beer, n = 18 (62%); seafood, n = 29 (100%); meat, n = 7 (24%); beef/pork/lamb, n = 24 (83%); dairy products, n = 12 (41%); vitamin C supplementation, n = 29 (100%). Of the 61 rheumatologists and 231 nutrition professionals who completed the online survey, the majority considered that weight loss and decreased alcohol intake were important or very important outcomes. Proportions were lower for decreased purine intake. Thirty-four (56%) rheumatologists do not refer patients with gout to dietetic services and, of those who do, the majority refer less than half. Conclusions:
Overall, patients with gout in the present study were not implementing evidence for dietary management of their condition and complex dietary issues were evident.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 7th, Jackson Browne will release his 14th studio album, Standing In The Breach. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and features the single "The Birds Of St. Marks," which debuted yesterday on Rolling Stone and MOJO and is available today for download via Amazon and iTunes when the album Standing In The Breach is pre-ordered. "RINGING PEALS OF GUITAR herald the coming of a great new Jackson Browne release, " said MOJO.
Listen to "The Birds of St. Marks" here
(embed code below)
"The Birds of St. Marks" was originally written in 1967 when Jackson was just 18 and returning home to California after a brief stint living in New York. The song was recorded as a demo in 1970 and occasionally heard in the live setting as captured on his Solo Acoustic Vol. 1, but has only now been given the treatment Jackson had originally envisioned. "This is a song I always heard as a Byrds song, and that was even part of the writing of the song," he told Rolling Stone. The finished version of the song features Greg Leisz playing a "McGuinn-esque 12-string," described Rolling Stone. Leisz and Jackson were joined by Val McCallum (electric guitar), Bob Glaub (bass) and Don Heffington (drums), while as described in MOJO "McCallum and Kipp Lennon stir[ed] essence of Crosby into the vocal harmonies."
Jackson Browne launches an album tour this fall, with band dates starting at The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, and ending at The Royal Albert Hall in London, England. He will also appear on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 6th and CBS This Morning on October 11th. Accompanying Jackson on the road are longtime band mates Val McCallum (guitar), Mauricio Lewak (drums), Jeff Young (keyboards) and Bob Glaub (bass), with the addition of acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz (guitar, lap steel, pedal steel).
Standing In The Breach, is a collection of ten songs, at turns deeply personal and political, exploring love, hope, and defiance in the face of the advancing uncertainties of modern life. "The interplay between Val McCallum and Greg Leisz on this album - the effortlessness of their chemistry is a gift really, that just dropped into my lap," says Jackson. The album will be available everywhere on October 7th.
Track Listing for Standing In The Breach:
1) The Birds Of St. Marks
2) Yeah Yeah
3) The Long Way Around
4) Leaving Winslow
5) If I Could Be Anywhere
6) You Know The Night

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Nikon flash on GH2
May 8, 2011
There are quite a few Q/A on this forum about which 3rd party flash to use on a GH2.
I am considering buying a GH2 but would like to use my Nikon flashes if at all possible.
Does anybody know if the digital-ready flashes for Nikon [say SB-50DX, SB-400, SB-600, SB-800] work on a GH2? I do not mind having to use manual flash, but I would not like to kill a new GH2 by mounting an incompatible flash
Thanks in advance
PS: I have tried searching this forum and could not find any answer on this combo – sorry in advance if I missed any.

About this audio file: On Jan. 17, 2008, Dr. Ryan S. Olson, director of education policy for the Mackinac Center, was a guest on "The Greg Marshall Show" on WMKT in Traverse City. Olson discussed the 2006 Michigan Education Association's LM-2, which the school employees union is required to file with the federal Department of Labor. Olson's investigation of the document found that while the number of MEA members in Michigan is going down, the union is collecting more revenues but spending less time representing its members compared to 2005. The interview is 13 minutes and 41 seconds.

You can stay at an unique wooden house which is located a bit near the end of main area (yet everything is a walking distance) . Rooms are simple, but decorated with good taste. Also, heating is perfect, so you won't catch a cold in chilly nights of Ushuaia. Host is very attentive and have great hospitality. Highly recommended.

Silvia was an attentive host. She was flexible with when we needed breakfast in the morning and welcomed us in as soon as arrived. The house itself is simple, but charming and the breakfast with fresh bread and dulce de leche was exactly what we needed before our long days out.

The place is quite well located, close to everything. Sylvia was nice and informative. Upon arrival there were information sheet about all kinds of tours type for Ushuaia. The breakfast is elegant but only bread. The rooms and washroom were all very clean but the toilets cover didn't stay up in the washroom we were allowed to use. (There are 3 washrooms each available for 2 rooms) All in all I enjoyed our stay. It's a very expensive town, I feel that the price could be 10-20% cheaper for value.

Went to the store for a quick stop of ice, beer, lottery and other stuff. Upon checking out I was asked if I needed cash back. I stated yes. Went through my entering PIN # and putting away my credit card. Well I picked up my goodies, lottery ticket and forgot my cash back. I tried calling them back immediately after I left the store but had no luck in reaching anyone. It was about 6:30-7:00. I got up the next morning and called the store. I spoke to the manager and explained my situation. She asked that I come to the store and prove it. I did and received my money back. Thanks so much for the honesty. This Speedy Stop has my loyalty. I highly recommend the store for quick purchases to the lake and for anything else

when I go into speedy stop late at night, I always feel hesitate because of the customers that hang out around the store at night. However, since they have hired the new night clerk, Scott, I feel safe in doing my shopping at night. he controls the the unsavory clients that hang out to check out who comes and goes. I would like to give him a good " pat on the back" for making the women customers feel safe. Way to go Speedy Stop !

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/15/14 -- Foremost Income Fund ("Foremost" or the "Fund") announces the financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Fund is an unincorporated open end mutual fund trust conducting its business through Foremost Universal LP ("Universal") and Foremost Industries LP ("Foremost"). The Fund derives its operational income from both Universal and Foremost. Universal's overall business is focused on the oil and gas industry and includes activity from eight manufacturing sites throughout Alberta. Foremost manufactures off-highway large wheeled and tracked vehicles, and equipment for custom drilling, construction, water wells, and mining sectors. Foremost also maintains a focus on custom built vehicles for its clientele and is located in Calgary, Alberta.
The key elements from Q1 2014 are:
-- Revenue decrease of 27% when comparing quarter over quarter. The Fund experienced the results of a general slowdown in oilfield equipment demand. Ongoing market and political concerns regarding transportation of product to foreign markets, and market price discrepancies led to depressed outlooks and product demand by key oilfield producers. Further information on the decrease in revenue by segment, and product line, can be found in the segmented information section of the MD&A. -- Q1 2014 gross profit dropped to 11% from 16% in Q1 2013. This is a result of lower customer demand driving lower quoted margins and margin adjustments made to specific long lead jobs, including field projects discussed in previous MD&A's. Further information by product can be found in the segmented information section of the MD&A. -- Administrative expenses have decreased 11%, from $5.5 million in Q1 2013 to $4.9 million in Q1 2014. This is a result of an increased focus on lowering discretionary spending. -- Included in the foreign exchange loss of $133,000, and net against the exchange gains, are unrealized losses on forward contracts for $457,000. -- EBITDA for Q1 2014 dropped to $10,000, from $4.6 million in 2013. This is a reflection of lower gross profit, due to industry conditions and adjustments made to margins on field work.

The financial results of the first quarter have been disappointing and continue to reflect a slowdown in demand in a number of our major product lines. Management has embarked on an aggressive plan designed to return the Fund to overall profitability in 2014. Further, we have already engaged in a significant strategic review of the business and established the following areas of focus:
a. Connection with the Customer
We are reviewing the business to ensure we and our product offerings align with customer needs. This will ensure product lines carry features and costs that our customers value, delivering improved and more predictable margins.
b. Cost Discipline
We are driving renewed cost disciplines across every department and function. We are reducing the amount of money tied up in working capital and are reviewing all supply arrangements. A broad workforce reduction has already been implemented affecting approximately 12% of overhead positions. These initial steps combined will contribute to an estimated $4 million in annual savings. Additional savings will follow. Cost discipline will not be a one-time project, but rather will form the basis of a new strategic priority to define Foremost as a quality, low-cost producer.
c. Engaging the Intelligence and Commitment of our People
Senior management is leading a process whereby we create the environment where our people volunteer their full engagement, capabilities, and intelligence that results in Foremost achieving results in excess of the sum of our parts. We are creating a clear vision and direction for the business and are clearly communicating our objectives. We are also looking at ways to realign compensation packages to be more results orientated.
Clearly the Fund is at a point where change is important. Changes will be implemented in a manner that minimizes disruption and leverages our strengths. We have an established, quality brand with long-term and stable relationships with our customers. We also have an outstanding team of intelligent, capable, committed, and loyal employees. We have worked through challenging business environments in the past, and will continue to do so in 2014. Further, we have a general sense of optimism with respect to the team's response to these early changes and general market conditions which show healthy signs of improvement in many of our markets. We look forward with confidence to reporting more favorable results to Unitholders in future periods.
The Fund redeemed 21,123 Trust Units during the quarter through its normal redemption program resulting in cash payments of $159,367. During Q1 2013 the Fund redeemed 8,560 Trust Units for $72,000. No options were exercised during the first quarter.
The Trustees have determined that, as of the date of May 15, 2014 the Fund will redeem tendered Trust Units at a value of $6.50 per unit.
TEMPORARY REDUCTION OF MONTHLY LIMIT FOR FUND UNIT REDEMPTIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.4(ii)(B) OF THE DEED OF TRUST
Pursuant to section 6.4(ii)(B) of the Deed of Trust of the Fund dated November 12, 2005 as amended (the "Deed of Trust"), the Trustees of the Fund have discretion, in any calendar month, to reduce the monthly limit for cash redemptions of Trust Units of the Fund due to concerns as to the current working capital or debt of the Fund. The exercise of such discretion may result in all or a portion (on a pro rata basis, depending on notices of redemption received) of the amount payable for Trust Units redeemed being paid by unsecured promissory notes in accordance with section 6.5 of the Deed of Trust.
Effective May 1, 2014 and applying to all notices of redemption received and/or payable in the month of May 2014, the Trustees of the Fund have exercised their discretion pursuant to section 6.4(ii)(B) to reduce the monthly limit for cash redemptions from $1,500,000.00 to $0.00. The Trustees will review the revised monthly limit in respect of the month of June 2014 no later than June 13, 2014.
In accordance with the Deed of Trust, Unitholders that submit or have submitted notices of redemption on or after May 1, 2014 or in respect of whose Trust Units the Fund is obligated pay the redemption price on or before May 31, 2014, will be contacted individually and provided with the opportunity to elect to withdraw all or any part of such notices of redemption. Any Unitholders not electing to withdraw their redemption notices, in whole or in part will be paid the redemption price in respect of their redeemed Trust Units by unsecured promissory notes.
This discussion is intended for summary purposes only and is subject in all respects to the Deed of Trust. The income and other tax consequences of holding, redeeming or disposing of Trust Units and acquiring promissory notes will vary depending on the unitholder's particular circumstances, including the jurisdiction(s) in which the Unitholder resides or carries on business, and whether the Unitholder is an RRSP, RESP, RRIF, PPSP or TFSA. Accordingly, this summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or any Unitholder. All Unitholders should consult their own legal and tax advisors prior to redeeming units of the Fund.
