Summary of Financial and Operating Results
In the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported revenue of $21.5 million, total cash production costs of $12.3 million and a net loss of $0.9 million.
The Company reported revenue of $38.3 million, total cash production costs of $25.1 million and a net loss of $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Under the Company's gross-metal-value ("GMV") ore-processing agreement with Glencore Canada Corporation (the "GMV Agreement"), the Company is paid for accountable gross metal value, which is based on the contained metal, multiplied by a specified percentage that is determined based on the average nickel grade of the ore delivered. There are no specifically-identified processing costs under the GMV Agreement given that the specified GMV percentage results in revenues that are paid and recorded net of processing costs. The GMV Agreement was adopted effective July 1, 2013, and the predecessor agreement (the "Original Agreement") required different accounting for revenues and cost of sales, which affects the comparability of certain financial statement elements between the current period and the comparative period of 2013.
(1) For additional information, see Non-IFRS Financial Measures section.
Under the GMV Agreement, ore-treatment costs are not included in the cost of goods sold, but are netted against nickel and by-product revenues. All things being equal, the accounting in the current period under the GMV Agreement would result in lower revenue, lower cost of goods sold and lower by-product revenue than prior-period accounting under the Original Agreement.

Lockerby Mine Operating Results
Safety, Health & Environment
The Company's directors, management, employees and contractors continue to place the highest priority on safety, health, and the environment. The Lockerby Mine had three lost-time incidents, including the May 6th accident, and six medical-aid incidents during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
On May 6, 2014, an accident occurred at the Lockerby Mine involving a fall of material and the deaths of two contract production drillers. The Company responded to the accident by following established protocols and emphasizing transparent communication within the bounds of those protocols, as well as counselling and supporting the families of the deceased, employees and the local community. The Ontario Ministry of Labour ("MOL") suspended Lockerby underground operations immediately following the accident and, after its initial investigation, on May 8, 2014 released the suspension for all areas except for the level on which the accident had occurred, which was an under-fill heading on the 65-2 level of the mine.
The Company actively cooperated with the MOL to determine a method to safely allow workers to re-enter the 65-2 level. Although not ordered to do so by the MOL, the Company suspended its under-fill operations in all areas of the mine after the accident, until it could be satisfied that workers would not be put at risk. After consulting with outside engineers, the Company has developed a plan to resume work on the 65-2 level and other under-fill headings in a way that ensures the safety of all workers. On July 17, 2014, the MOL released the accident scene to the Company and, on July 18, 2014, the MOL released the 65-2 level for mining.
Monthly production is based on the quantity of crushed ore delivered to Glencore and the average grade of nickel and other contained metals, which is established by an agreed-upon third-party laboratory.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Lockerby Mine produced 3.1 million pounds and 5.8 million pounds of contained nickel and 1.7 million pounds and 3.3 million pounds of contained copper, respectively. Contained nickel production in the second quarter of 2014 is above the second quarter of 2013 by 24%, mainly reflecting a 17% increase in average nickel head grades mined during the respective periods, combined with a 5% increase in ore tonnes produced.
Production of 3.1 million contained nickel pounds during the three months ended June 30, 2014 represents a 13% increase in nickel production over the first quarter of the year, reflecting higher tonnes produced (by 5%) combined with higher average nickel grades (by 7%). Despite this upward trend during the first two quarters of 2014, as a result of the suspension of mining activities on the 65-2 Level following the May 6, 2014 accident, approximately 12,800 tonnes of ore production from the 65 Level were removed from second-quarter production, including approximately 8,000 tonnes postponed to future quarters and the permanent removal from the production plan of 4,800 tonnes in stope 65-1W. This impact reduced second-quarter production by approximately 0.3 million contained nickel pounds and 0.2 million contained copper pounds. Nickel production in the second quarter was also affected by higher ore dilution experienced in stopes 68-1W and 65-3E, and by lower grades than projected by the block model in stope 68-1W.
On July 18, 2014, the MOL released the 65-2 level for underground mining operations. Nickel production in the second half of 2014 is expected to be higher than the first half of the year based on the resumption of access to the 65-2 Level and the expected recovery of part of the postponed production from the second quarter. As a result, production of nickel in 2014 is expected to be at the lower end of the guidance range for 2014 (see the "Outlook for 2014" section).
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, 58,880 tonnes and 114,922 tonnes of ore were mined at Lockerby, producing approximately 1.6 million pounds and 3.2 million pounds of GMV-net payable nickel, at an average head grade of 2.37% and 2.30%, respectively, and approximately 0.9 million pounds and 1.8 million pounds of GMV-net payable copper at an average head grade of 1.32% and 1.30%, respectively.

The Company recorded total revenue of $21.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with total revenue of $15.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Revenues in the second quarter of 2014 show a significant increase over the prior-year period, partly reflecting higher nickel production, with contained nickel pounds produced approximately 24% above the prior-year period, combined with higher average realized nickel prices in the second quarter of 2014 (higher by approximately 17%). In the current year, foreign-currency translation gains, related to weaker average Canadian-US dollar exchange rates, contributed to higher values for revenues presented in Canadian dollars. Revenues of $38.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 are below the $41.8 million comparative figure reported in the first half of 2013, reflecting slightly lower tonnes processed and lower average nickel and copper grades in the current year. Comparisons of current-year revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2014 to the prior-year periods are affected by accounting changes under the GMV Agreement, which affect the comparability to prior-period revenues and results in lower current-year values for revenue recorded under the GMV Agreement compared to lower gross revenues recorded under the Original Agreement in the prior-year period.
The amendment to the Glencore ore-processing agreement and adoption of a GMV Agreement in the second half of 2013 resulted in revenues that were recorded net of the deduction of processing costs and other GMV deductions (as described in the Company's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2013). Revenues under the Original Agreement in the prior-year comparable period were recorded gross of processing costs. Revenues recorded under the Original Agreement in the prior year were also affected by volume adjustments, following milling by Glencore. Estimated grade was determined by the Lockerby geology department and, in the event that the Glencore milling results returned a different grade than the Company's' estimated grade, a quantity adjustment was made to revenue in the statement of comprehensive loss in the period in which the new information became available.
The Company may from time to time enter into forward sales agreements to mitigate provisional pricing exposure to changing nickel and copper prices. For additional information, see the "Forward sales agreements" heading in this section.

(1) For the purposes of this press release, year-to-date revenue includes pre-production capitalized revenue.
Total cash production costs(3)
Cash production costs are a non-IFRS measure that is based on the cost of goods sold less by-product revenues. Cash production costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $12.3 million and $25.1 million respectively, which is below the respective prior-year amounts by $0.5 million and $2.6 million, mainly reflecting the exclusion of treatment costs from underlying current-year cost of sales, as described above, partially offset by lower by-product revenue, by $1.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The economic impact of by-product credits in the second quarter of 2014 is based chiefly on the production of 1.7 million contained copper pounds, which is 19% higher than the 1.4 million contained copper pounds produced during the prior-year comparative period. The increase in copper by-product production is partially offset by the 6% drop in realized copper prices from the second quarter of 2013 (average realized price of $3.24 per pound) to the second quarter of 2014 (average of $3.06 per pound realized). Despite the 19% increase in contained copper pounds, partially offset by a 6% reduction in average realized price, by-product revenues recorded in the second quarter of 2014 are below the prior-year period by 26%, which demonstrates the revenue impact of accounting changes related to the GMV Agreement, whereby the reporting of by-product revenues is net of GMV deductions (as described in the "Revenue" heading above).
On a unit basis, cash production costs per GMV-net pound were $7.55 in the second quarter and $7.94 in the first half of 2014, which is significantly above the Company's full-year guidance range, partly reflecting the volume impact of lower GMV-net nickel production in the quarter and half-year periods, which results in a smaller denominator in the calculation of per- pound costs, together with the impact of higher cash production costs during the second quarter and first six months of 2014, as discussed above. Cash production costs in the second half of 2014 are expected to be lower than the first half. However, higher energy costs during the first quarter, combined with the May 6th accident and the volume impact of resultant postponed production contribute to an expectation that cash production costs per pound for the full year will exceed the Company's current guidance (see the "Outlook for 2014" section).

(4) Cash production cost per pound based on cash production cost for the commercial production period divided by associated net payable nickel production for the same period.
As disclosed in the Company's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2013, the change in accounting treatment generated by the GMV Agreement also resulted in a change to the Company's performance metrics, in order to ensure that the Company's performance is comparable to prior periods. Prior to the third quarter of 2013, the Company's performance metrics included payable nickel and copper, total cash production costs, and cash production costs per pound of payable nickel produced. Under the GMV Agreement, the Company's performance metrics will include contained nickel and copper, net-GMV nickel and copper payable pounds, total cash production costs, and cash production costs per net-GMV pound of nickel produced. See the "Outlook for 2014" section for details about operational metrics, and the manner in which the economic performance of the Lockerby Mine under the GMV Agreement may be compared to prior periods. Given the change to the Glencore processing agreement in mid-2013, comparisons to second-quarter 2013 cash production costs and cash production cost per pound do not yield meaningful analysis.
The Company's exploration strategy is focused on base metals and guided by the objectives of increasing resources and reserves in conjunction with the development and/or acquisition of quality projects, resulting in multiple mining operations. Due to the downturn in nickel prices seen through 2013, the Company has not incurred any significant exploration expenditures on its exploration properties since December 31, 2012.
The Company's outlook for 2014 is updated as detailed in the table below. Based on the impact of stope sequencing considerations and postponed production resulting from impacts of the May 6, 2014 accident, the Company expects production of nickel and copper to be in the lower ends of the respective ranges for 2014, and mine site operating costs are expected to be at the upper end of the respective range for 2014.
While remaining within their respective original guidance ranges, higher mine site operating costs and lower GMV-net nickel production have the combined impact of increasing cash production costs per GMV-net pound of nickel produced, which are now projected to be within a range of $5.90 to $6.40 per pound for 2014 (increased from the prior guidance range of $5.22 to $5.74).
Guidance for total capital expenditures in 2014 is unchanged, at approximately $7.2 million, although the portion relating to underground development is slightly higher, at approximately $4.0 million (previous guidance was approximately $3.5 million), and this increase is offset by an equal reduction in the portion relating to other capital.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures The cash cost per pound of nickel produced, cash cost per net-GMV pound of nickel produced and total production costs are non-IFRS financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management uses these statistics to monitor operating costs and profitability, and believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flow in addition to conventional IFRS measures. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. On a GMV basis, total cash production costs include mining costs, surface ore-handling and trucking costs, equipment operating lease costs, mine site general and administration costs, environmental costs and Vale royalties, less net-GMV by-product revenue, including forward sales gains and losses, and price adjustments from sales of copper, cobalt and PGE's.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Mother Releases Very Sad Video of Her Son's Bullying
A 40-minute video of a 10-year-old Appomattox boy has been released by the boy's mother, who wants to open up doors to conversation about the state of bullying in America. As a whole, it's a very ugly and very depressing video of two older boys exerting their physical and emotional dominance over a very scared, confused Cequan Haskins, and none of it easy to watch, although some parts are harder than others. At one point, the two boys hold a cigarette lighter to Cequan's arm, at which point he screams and the bus driver shouts, "Anything to get him quiet!" So, it's an awful video, obviously. Roxanne Haskins, the boy's mother, who released the video, said that she "wanted parents to be aware, that when I speak out, I'm speaking out for all kids. But unfortunately, this did happen to my child, and I want parents to be aware of what's going on in the school system."
One bright spot: Matt Coleman, a local Mixed Martial Arts expert, has offered Cequan several weeks of free Ju-Jitsu lessons, telling the press, "It's not about violence, fighting. It's about protecting yourself, taking control of the situation long enough to get away and to, you know, get help." Mrs. Haskins said she'll be taking Coleman up on his offer ...

No truer words from any comic strip, ever!
Wrong again. He's a senator. Congressmen can't afford that expensive bar.
Ghost01, By Reich-wing, you are referring to Right-wing? If so then you don't know your history. The Nazi party's correct name was The National Socialist Party. They were left-wing socialists. Does that make you a left-wing moron? From proud to be a conservative.

Get Breaking News First
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Governor Jerry Brown is calling for more than $200 million in cuts to the in-home care program, but hundreds at the capitol urged lawmakers to find other areas to cut.
Each person at the capitol says they have a story of sacrifice, like giving up work, so they can stay home and take care of a loved one. The Stiles family represents a quiet voice among the thousands of protestors.
Tammy Stiles knew Robert Stiles when he was a skateboarder, a forklift driver and independent.
"It's keeping him healthy," said Tammy.
What Robert means is she's keeping him healthy.
She's his voice when he can't speak, his hands when he can't reach and his legs when he can't move.
"He's becoming more dependent but we're letting him have his dignity," said Tammy.
Robert found out 14 years ago that he has Lou Gehrig's disease. It flipped their lives upside down.
"You know what, I love him. That's the whole thing. Gov. Brown could come and try to pull him up," said Tammy.
She says she can't work anywhere else.
"I had to decide to stay home to do home care on him," said Tammy.
They count on state funding from in-home support services to pay the bills.
"I'm hurting trying to make ends meet. At home they just raised our rent," said Tammy.
They raised their son, who just graduated high school with just $2,000 a month.
"Doing finances and stuff is not something I wanted, but I had to take on the husband and the wife job," said Tammy.
Now with the budget crisis legislators, looking to save anywhere and everywhere, are threatening to cut 7 percent from her paycheck.
"Why are you putting us in the poor house? We didn't do anything wrong," said Tammy.
She's taken cuts the past three years, forcing her to count on food banks and her church for donations.
"You know what, it's got to stop. There's no more," said Tammy.
Desperate for income, they rally with thousands at the capitol. Here for 10 days already, even getting arrested, hoping someone hears their plea.

Whitey Bulger lawyers seek to delay trial
Whitey Bulger lawyers seek to delay trial
Gangster James "Whitey" Bulger's defense team is seeking to postpone Wednesday's scheduled opening statements until the court gets to the bottom of whether convicted hitman and government star witness John "The Executioner" Martorano has lapsed back into a life of crime.
"Evidence that John Martorano is being protected by law enforcement in exchange for his testimony is critical to the defense," the motion filed by the defense said. "This case will turn largely on Martorano's credibility."

|Start of the tour!
|Hiking into the forested area
There was a road with a hump which till now left Dr Kwok and his fellow colleagues at National Heritage Board puzzled over the purpose of it. His colleagues predicted that the road we were on used to be a railway. From old images, they saw a long stretch of train tracks from the coast area from there to Sembawang. We then continued our hike into the tunnels area.
|New pipes built from the foundation of the old ones used in WWII.
Soon after we reach a covered wall, which Dr Kwok told was the tunnel entrance, However, we were puzzled as it was a just a wall. Soon after, Dr Kwok explained that the entrance had been sealed up. Dr Kwok also shared his experience when he had the chance to venture into the tunnels while is was still unsealed back in 2006. He said it was a good thing it has been sealed. Firstly, not only was it to prevent tomb raiders from stealing artifacts from the place, secondly as it used to be an oil depot back in WWII, there is lead and other harmful and poisonous substances inside.
|Single file guys!

|Thank you Dr Kwok!

At Nü Reed, self-reliance is no longer the defining characteristic of the Reed experience outside the classroom. Nü Reed is certainly a friendlier, more forgiving place than Olde Reed, but there is also a vague feeling that something has been lost, that Reed isn't quite the college of distinction it once was. Reed has not […]Read More

By Reed Student Advocates If you've ever been angry about sexual assault at Reed, you're not alone. Yes, despite the Reed community's positive attitude toward upholding the Honor Principle, and for the most part practicing it in earnest, there are still members of our community who victimize others via sexual assault and other forms of […]Read More
Imagine not being able to recognize your own mother. For the majority of the population, this simple task is second nature. However, for those like Dr. Holly Hinson, who presented a lecture on face blindness this past Thursday, such associations are not so simple. "I won't go with her. I just start sobbing," recounted Hinson, […]Read More

Dave: Our boss, Rich "Lowtax" Boruff, sent us an incredible gallery of weirdos from some kind of Steampunk gathering in New York. In case you're unfamiliar with the, uh, literary genre (?), Steampunk is a thing where... no, fuck this, I am absolutely not going to explain what Steampunk is. Just look it up. Anyway, by official mandate, Zack and I were forced to look at these jerks.
Zack: The most elderly-friendly fandom is like a cross between civil war reenactment and LARPing, only not quite as cool as those two things. Enjoy your trip with us to the 2012 Steampunk World's Fair.
Dave: The cool thing about steampunk is you can use all your old ren faire gear AND your mid-life crisis biker shit.
Zack: I'm sure that hat has seen many an aloe vera Kleenex and crumpled first page of sci-fi manuscripts before it became a hat.
Dave: It looks like something an Indian kid would hide snakes in, like in a Johnny Quest episode or something.
Zack: What do you call a corset that just sort of gave up? A Corseh?
Dave: A forcet?
Zack: That is definitely it
Dave: I'm reasonably sure she's got it on backwards, too, but I'm sure as hell not going back there to check.
Zack: Ah, don't be afraid. All you'll find is a blown out pagan moon tattoo and stairs made out of human back fat.
Dave: This guy had major anxiety before he left the house about whether to pick the sweet goggles or the sweet eyepatch, and eventually he was like "fuck it, this doesn't have to make total sense."
Zack: I can just imagine him at home, suiting up Commando style, only with way more grunting, and thinking to himself, "Finally, steampunk has made my eye patch cool again" as he holsters his repainted Nerf pistol.
Dave: There's that old fashion chestnut about taking an accessory off before you leave the house, but I suppose if this guy had ever taken a single fashion tip seriously in his entire life he wouldn't be in this dire fucking situation.
Are you concerned that you may be a character trapped in a Tom Waits song? Be smart and learn the warning signs before it's too late. Also, it's too late. It has always been too late.
I'm haunted by a recurring vision of a skeleton flipping me off. To avoid seeing this terrifying image in bumper sticker form, I pay someone with a blank bumper to drive in front of me at all times.
The Goons expose inappropriate product placement in sci-fi films, using images they made themselves!

Fashion SWAT... the fashion industry is obsessed with impracticality. We know that what designers create was never meant to be worn by the grimy masses, but that doesn't somehow diminish how ridiculous many of these costumes are. Make no mistake, they are costumes, and like a Halloween prize pageant we will turn our discerning gaze on the grievous fashion misfires of Paris, Milan, and New York. We're not pulling any punches, and we're definitely not interested in making any friends. We're Joan Rivers without Melissa Rivers to temper our screeching. We're the Fashion Police in jack boots. We are Fashion SWAT.
