After debuting a commercial about an injury to its spokesduck during the BCS National Championship game, Aflac has rolled out a virtual card generator that enables fans to send well wishes.
Supplemental insurance company Aflac's infamous spokesduck has had an unfortunate accident that has left him in the hospital with injuries to his beak and wing. That's according to Aflac's latest promo, which debuted on TV during the BCS National Championship game on January 7.
The campaign began with a commercial in which a doctor discusses an undisclosed accident that has caused the Aflac Duck to be hospitalized.
As a result, the campaign also features an interactive social component that enables consumers to send virtual get well cards to the Aflac Duck via the Duck's Facebook page or GetWellDuck.com.
In order to send a card, users simply choose a background, choose an image and select a message like, "Hope you're back on your (webbed) feet soon." They can also add a personal message and share it on the Duck's page and their own Facebook profiles.
In the first two and a half days of the promotion, the Aflac Duck received more than 4,050 cards.
"Facebook posts are showing that the public has a deep concern for the Duck's recovery as well," says Jon Sullivan, manager of corporate communications at Aflac.
The point of the campaign is to provide a view of the value of Aflac from a policyholder's perspective, he adds. That includes how Aflac's insurance policies can help protect families against unexpected setbacks.
"The GetWellDuck card generator was created as an extension of the TV spot, which provides interactive engagement with the consumer," Sullivan says. "We want to engage consumers with our brand in a lighthearted way that will help us deliver a serious message about the value of Aflac."
Aflac targets men and women ages 25 to 54.
"We believe that the GetWellDuck card activation will engage a wide spectrum...including parents, Millennials, etc.," Sullivans says.
Campaign promotion includes a series of television ads, mobile display banners, search for mobile and creative optimized for the card generator.
It also includes social media activations.
On January 7, @AflacDuck tweeted, "Wanted to let y'all know that I'm hurt, but I'm OK. I have a broken beak & lacerated wing. County Hospital is taking good care of me though."
@AflacDuck's Twitter profile photo and header image have been updated to reflect his injuries. The header also features a get well card.
@AflacDuck has 18,000 followers on Twitter. @Aflac has 750.
In addition, the Duck has shared a photo of his hospital bracelet on Facebook.
The Aflac Duck has 348,000 fans on Facebook. Sullivan says that's an increase of over 1,100 likes since the campaign launched.

I want to thank RiotHavoc for playing with us tonight, even though it was some tough matches.
We are continuing to grow everyday and thank you for all your support/bumps!
I find it sad that regular people have to create communities outside of the riot community to enjoy a regular game, absolutely pathetic that I have to join a third party group to play games where I am not bullied, harassed, or surrounded by negativity. Although none of which bothers me as I just ignore, it bothers me that other people are affected by this kind of stuff. Riot needs to step up their game and fix this , the most important thing when managing a business is and always will be "are your customoers 100 percent happy with every service that you provide?"

Checking in at 7-feet, 250 pounds, high school freshman basketball phenom Raekwon Long can take his hoops career to pretty much any college he wants to in just a few short years. But that's only if coaches can get him out of the pool, according to MaxPreps.com. Long, who averaged about 15 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocked shots per game this past season, wants to swim. "He wants to swim on the swim team," boys basketball coach Joshua Coley of Garinger High School (Charlotte, N.C.) said. "The problem is, swimming is at the same time as basketball. We've talked about letting him compete on the weekends. The meets are usually on Saturdays, but I'm not too sure about that yet." Long just turned 16 earlier this year but he has already been invited for unofficial visits to North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisville, Clemson, Charlotte, Duke, and Wake Forest. "He's very proud about being a swimmer," Coley joked. "You can tell him that he can't dunk, but if you tell him he can't swim you've got an argument on your hands." Thumbnail via Twitter/Raekwon Long

The Crossroads
by Jason Schneider
June 01, 2011 — By the dawn of the new millennium it was clear to all but a handful of diehards that the upside potential of digital imaging was far greater than that of chemically-based image capture, also known as film. One could, and did, argue about when, not if, the digital revolution would be upon us in full force. And as it turned out, the great transition occurred far more rapidly and completely than many experts, including yours truly, predicted at the time. It was undoubtedly a seismic event that completely transformed the way we shoot, enhance, store, share and print pictures.

A&T Four Celebrated 53 Years After Iconic Sit-in
Four civil rights pioneers will be honored Friday in Greensboro on the 53rd anniversary of their famous sit-in. North Carolina State University A&T Freshman Joe McNeil, Ezell Blair Jr., Franklin McCain and David Richmond sat down at an all-white Woolworth's lunch sparking a significant movement in the Jim Crow South.
The four men asked to be served and were denied, but sat peacefully until Woolworth's decided to close. Within a week hundreds of people were taking part in sit-ins in Greensboro. The movements spread to nearby North Carolina cities and then other states.
The three surviving members of the four will be celebrated Friday with a breakfast, ceremony and round-table discussion about civil justice. Richmond passed away in 1990. His son will stand in his place during the events.
The men have come to be known as the Greensboro four, although many old enough to remember the events refer to them as the A&T four, because at that time the campus was almost completely cutoff from the rest of the city.

You should refrain from having sex when you have a vaginal infection. For one thing the infection can be passed back and forth between partners. men may not show symptoms of some infections but they can pass it on to the female he has sexual contact with and vice versa. You should ask your Dr as to when it is safe to have sex again.
1 Feb 2013
Hi there,
Yes, you should wait that the infection is gone completely before having sex or oral sex, like Dzoo said you can pass it to your spouse. Then you both will need to be treated! Just call the pharmacist and see how long it takes to clear up when you take that med. Have a nice cruise. Well at least there is alot of things to do on there to keep you guys busy.

"I used the enclosure card and created my Rehearsal Dinner invitation. It worked out beautifully! I used Wedding Paper Divas for all my wedding needs and am thrilled with the results and products I received. I would use them again and again!"
"I'm using the Enclosure Card as a "view our website" info card in my invitation suite. My only complaint is that the script is small, but I'm still very happy with the overall product."
"I used the directions card as a reception card. I was able to personalize the product with my own information and font designs to match the font designs I had chosen to use on my invitations. I even was able to get the leaf print on the back of the card so that it matched the invitations perfectly. I was so impressed with the quick feedback and advice the designers gave me in making the set uniform. The editing of my proofs was done in a remarkable time frame. We have gotten so many compliments on the look, feel, pearl shimmer. and overall design of this product!"
"I ordered these cards and actually used them in conjunction with magnet announcements as save the dates. I was able to completely customize the lettering (I changed 'Details' to the date of my reception) and they turned out fantastic! The whole design is gorgeous and will go perfect with our vintage chic theme"
"These enclosure cards were perfect to go along with our formal invitations. We were able to work in information about the reception location, directions, and RSVP instructions (since we were having our guests RSVP online). Great back and forth with the custom designer. Only docked 1 star for design because I would have loved if it automatically came with the same back design as the invitation (instead of plain white)."

Woman from Henrico-based company pleads guilty to fraud
A local woman recently pled guilty in U.S. District Court in Memphis, Tenn., to two counts of mail and wire fraud. Mary Ann Smith, 42, had served as the vice president of marketing for International Business Network (IBN), formerly based at Paragon Place in western Henrico County.
Information provided by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in Central Virginia contributed to her arrest last year on charges that she had preyed on individuals seeking to obtain student visas. It followed a year-long investigation by the BBB and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
In February 2009, Smith sent emails to two residents of the Memphis area, describing a nonexistent student visa program in which the U.S. government supposedly exchanged students with foreign countries on a one-for-one basis. Smith falsely told her Memphis victims that their relatives could obtain student visas and that, five years after the victims' relatives obtained those visas, the visa holders could become legal, permanent residents.
Smith advised them that her services would cost $6,480 per applicant and that the processing time would take six to eight months. After receiving $25,920 from the victims, Smith persuaded each to sign contracts to "sponsor" four of their relatives.
At her guilty-plea hearing, Smith admitted using a "spoofing" service that allowed her to alter her voice on phone calls and make it appear that those calls originated from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. Although Smith pled guilty to only two counts, all of the charged conduct will be taken into account as relevant conduct at
Smith's sentencing, scheduled for Sept. 21. In addition, Smith agreed to disclose the existence of and forfeit any assets derived from her crime.
"We're delighted that we could assist law enforcement in shutting down this scam artist," said Tom Gallagher, the BBB's president and CEO. He said his staff routinely works very closely with police from various jurisdictions in investigating scams.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Milena Eva & Thomas Sciarone – GOLD
Interview by Michelle HenriquezThe Netherlands based band GOLD define themselves as "a contemporary rock band that's heavy because of the songs, not the sound, but why? Let's discover with us more about their music and their debut album "Interbellum" released via Van Records on 2012 with this nice chat happened few months ago with both singer Milena Eva and guitarist Thomas. How did you experience the show?
Milena: Yeah, it went great we think, it is kind of hard to grasp the feeling 5 minutes after the show, but I think we did alright.
Thomas: We made a few mistakes but because we were a bit stressed playing a set of just 30 minutes and lacking the drummer for quite some time. Plus it was great to play a set for such a big crowd. We played some festivals in Holland and even Sweden but nothing this size. Continue reading »

Their packed concert in Rome gave us a chance to have a nice chat with Coen Janssen and discuss Epica's recent accomplishments and collaborations, from music videos to videogames, but also some more peculiar matters, like the role of streaming services in metal music. The venue was warmed up by an energetic opening set from Dragonforce, whose newest member, Italian drummer Gee Anzalone, had a very uplifting message for the audience. But the crowd went completely crazy when the first notes from "Originem" started playing, greeting the band with incredible enthusiasm. The setlist was very diverse, spacing from the old classics to the latest singles, and Epica proved to be the usual more than well-oiled machine, delivering a memorable performance.

Kingfisher Sky – "Arms of Morpheus" (2014)
Label: Suburban Records
Review by Tony Cannella
Wow! The new album from Dutch prog metallers Kingfisher Sky is pretty freakin' good. Their 3rd album "Arms of Morpheus" continues on the bands progressive/folk-ish path which began with their 2007 debut "Hallway of Dreams" and things just keep getting better and better.
Opening with "Hypnos", this is a great moody track with changing tempos and a bit of a dramatic vibe; this is a good way to start things. From there we go into "At Least You Tried" continues the album on a positive course. "King of Thieves" is the first single and features a good amount of symphonic and folk elements to go with the prog. Other highlights include: "Open Your Eyes", "Strength of the Endless" and "The Morrigan". Continue reading »
End of the Dream – "End of the Dream" EP (2013)
Independent Release
Review by Tony Cannella
End of the Dream is a female fronted metal band from the Netherlands that was formed in 2010. They have recently issued their debut 6-song self-titled EP. Let's have a listen, shall we?
First off, for an EP this is pretty long. Clocking in at 33-minutes, EOTD presents a longer than your average EP, not that I'm complaining. "Colder" opens things and is a pretty cool way to kick things off. The riffs are sharp and the song is dramatic with a solid groove to it. The next track "Follow the Angels" begins with a slower tempo before a choir kicks in and then the heavy guitar riffs. I would describe the band as a cross between Within Temptation and Evanescence. Lead vocalist Micky certainly has a pretty cool and expressive voice. Continue reading »
theNAME – "Unchained" (2013)
Label: V2 Records
Review by Tony Cannella
From The Netherlands, theNAME are a hugely underrated band. They formed in 2000 and have just issued their fourth album, "Unchained". The sound is a mix of hard rock and metal with groove-laden riffs. They have toured extensively throughout Europe with some of hard rock and metal's biggest and best acts – most recently theNAME has shared the stage with Tarja Turunen.
From the opening track "Draw the Line", the riffs are so damn infectious and the songs boast a lot of power and energy which are contagious as well. The songs have a certain groove metal quality with the riffs. The production is very clear and in-your-face. Continue reading »

I'm so happy to read this update! I missed seeing the deer and didn't realize it was being repaired. The deer is always a pleasure to see and the sculpture is so evocative of the area.

Press release from Marketwire
Aurizon Reports 2012 Financial Results
Thursday, March 14, 2013
Aurizon Reports 2012 Financial Results07:00 EDT Thursday, March 14, 2013VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 14, 2013) - Aurizon Mines Ltd. (TSX:ARZ)(NYSE MKT:AZK) is pleased to announce its unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Our financial results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").2012 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSRevenue of $224 million from 133,990 ounces of gold sold at an average realized price of US$1,658 per ounce Net profit of $32 million, or $0.19 per basic share, and EBITDA of $92 million Cash and cash equivalents balance of $204 million and debt-free at year-end Cash flow from operations of $62 million 2012 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTSCasa Berardi produced 136,848 ounces of gold at total cash costs of US$696 per ounce, in-line with previous guidance of 137,000 ounces and US$695 per ounce 693,859 tonnes of ore milled at unit mining costs of $140 per tonne Replenishment of Casa Berardi mineral reserves to 1,461,000 ounces of gold (net of mining depletion) at December 31, 2012. A successful drilling program resulted in a 6% increase in the average underground mineral reserve grade to 7.1 grams/tonne and an 11% increase in mineral reserves, before mining depletion, compared to 2011. Successful transition from contractor to owner-operated mining at Casa Berardi Self-funded capital investments at Casa Berardi of $75 million are facilitating transition into Zones 118 and 123 and increased operational flexibility Completed the 2012 drill program at Heva, with an in-pit and underground mineral resource estimate to be completed within the first half of 2013 Positive feasibility study received on the Joanna-Hosco deposit of the advanced stage Heva-Hosco gold propertyFrom the President and Chief Executive Officer, George Paspalas2013 is a transition year at Casa Berardi where we are completing the required infrastructure to commence mining new areas east of the production shaft. These new mining areas will be the foundation of future underground production at Casa Berardi. With year-end cash and cash equivalent balances of $204.2 million together with strong operating cash flows, we expect that Aurizon will be able to easily fund the capital and exploration projects planned for 2013. Production performance at Casa Berardi was consistent with Aurizon's revised expectations for 2012 at 136,848 ounces, and we are very encouraged by the increase in underground reserve grades announced on February 14, 2013, and the potential for both surface and underground zone extensions around the Principal area at Casa Berardi, and are looking forward to the forthcoming resource estimate at the Heva project.We are committed to maximizing the value of Casa Berardi, and a successful completion of the transition phase will allow us to once again achieve historical production levels.Regarding the two bids for the Company, we continue to urge Aurizon Shareholders to compare the actual consideration available under each of the two bids. Based on the closing share prices of Hecla and Alamos on March 13, 2013, and assuming that all shareholders elected to receive either cash or shares, the Hecla Arrangement will provide total consideration of CAD$4.60 per Aurizon share, (including cash consideration of $3.11 per Aurizon share), which represents a CAD$0.31 per share premium to the total consideration of the unsolicited bid by Alamos of CAD$4.29 per share, (including cash consideration of $2.04 per Aurizon share).

Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section of this news release for definitions and a reconciliation of these measures to revenue, cost of sales and net profit as reported in the audited statements (unaudited for interim periods) of comprehensive income.(2) Financial information presented for the 2010 and 2011 annual periods has been extracted from the Company's audited financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011. Financial information presented for quarterly periods and the 2012 annual period is unaudited.SUMMARY OF 2012 ANNUAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEREVENUERevenue in 2012 totalled $223.6 million, primarily from the sale of 133,990 gold ounces at a realized gold price of US$1,658 per ounce. This compares to revenue in 2011 of $260.0 million, from the sale of 165,250 gold ounces at a realized gold price of US$1,578 per ounce. The $36.4 million decrease in revenue from 2011 to 2012 is comprised of the following components:$49.0 million decrease from 18.9% fewer gold ounces sold, mainly as a result of reduced production due to lower grades; partially offset by $10.5 million increase from a 5.0% rise in the realized gold price per ounce; and a $2.1 million increase from a strengthening of the USD/CAD exchange rate realized on gold sales in 2012 to 1.002 from 0.992 realized in 2011. COST OF SALESCost of sales in 2012 totalled $131.8 million, comprised of operating costs of $94.3 million and depreciation and amortization of $37.5 million. Cost of sales in 2011 totalled $127.7 million, comprised of operating costs of $88.8 million and depreciation and amortization of $38.9 million. The $4.1 million, or 3.2%, increase in 2012 over 2011 is due to higher unit production costs partially offset by lower sales volume. Operating costs, comprised of mining, milling and refining costs, increased by $5.5 million, or 6.2%, from 2011 to 2012. Total cash costs were US$696 per gold ounce in 2012, compared to US$537 in 2011, while gold ounces sold decreased to 133,990 ounces in 2012 from 165,250 ounces in 2011. The increase in total cash costs per ounce is attributable mainly to the combination of a lower average ore grade, a lower mill recovery rate, general inflationary pressures, reduced efficiency from mining smaller-sized stopes and development temporarily constrained by the shaft-deepening project. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.4 million from 2011 to 2012. On a per-ounce basis, this expense increased to US$280/ounce in 2012 from US$238 in 2011. This increase reflects the amortization of higher-than-historical levels of capital investment seen in 2011 and 2012 and the decrease in sales volume from 2011 to 2012.GROSS PROFITGross profit was $91.8 million in 2012, compared to $132.3 million in 2011. This change reflects revenue lower by $36.4 million and cost of sales higher by $4.1 million as described above. Higher realized gold prices were more than offset by higher total cash costs, resulting in an operating profit margin of US$962 per ounce in 2012, as compared to US$1041 per ounce in 2011.EXPLORATION COSTSExploration expenditures on mineral properties in Quebec, exclusive of Casa Berardi, decreased 32.5% to $17.9 million in 2012 from $26.5 million in 2011. $8.2 million, or 95%, of the total reduction is attributable to the Fayolle and Rex South Properties. Expenditures on the Fayolle Property were relatively high in 2011 as the Company incurred costs to meet a commitment under the related option and joint venture agreement. Expenditures on the Rex South Property declined in 2012 as the Company fulfilled its requirement, by the end of 2011, to incur an aggregate of $5 million of work during the first five years of the related earn-in agreement. During 2012, the Company terminated its option agreements in respect of the Rex South and Patris properties. The following table summarizes the exploration expenditures incurred in 2012 and 2011:For the year endedDecember 31,(in millions of Canadian dollars)20122011Heva-Hosco Properties (exploration / feasibility study)$9.7$10.3Fayolle Property1.85.7Rex South Property0.75.0Marban Property5.04.8Opinaca-Wildcat Properties1.43.7Duverny-Duvay Properties2.41.1Patris Property0.10.5General exploration and other properties1.00.9Refundable and non-refundable tax credits(4.2)(5.5)Total exploration and feasibility study expenditures$17.9$26.5GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATION COSTSGeneral and administrative costs reflect the head office costs in Vancouver, B.C. as well as the administrative and technical group in Val d'Or, Quebec. These costs declined to $17.5 million in 2012, from $19.4 million in 2011. The majority of the decrease relates to stock compensation expense which was $5.3 million in 2012, compared to $6.5 million in 2011.INCOME AND RESOURCE TAX EXPENSEIncome and resource taxes in 2012 totalled $24.3 million, or 43.3% of profit before taxes, compared to $42.7 million, or 49.3% of profit before taxes. The higher effective tax rate in 2011 is largely attributable to the substantive enactment of new Quebec resource tax legislation that retroactively increased the rate from 12% to 14% for nine months of 2010 and to 15% for 2011. Current income and resource tax expense totalled $25.2 million in 2012 compared to $41.1 million in 2011.NET PROFITNet profit in 2012 totalled $31.8 million, or $0.19 per basic share, compared to net profit of $43.9 million, or $0.27 per share in 2011. The reduction of 27.6% is mostly explained by the combination of lower gold production at higher production costs and a non-recurring $1.3 million impairment loss on marketable securities, partially offset by the combination of a higher realized gold price, lower exploration costs, lower general and administration costs and a lower effective tax rate.BALANCE SHEETThe Company held $204.2 million of cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2012, a $9.3 million decrease compared to $213.5 million as at December 31, 2011. In 2012, positive cash flow from operating activities of $62.3 million and financing activities of $5.8 million was more than offset by $77.4 million of investing activities as described below.Net working capital, calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities, was $204.6 million as at December 31, 2012, compared to $197.8 million as at December 31, 2011.The Company held no financial debt as at December 31, 2012.CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES The Company generated $62.4 million of cash flow from operating activities in 2012, compared to $121.0 million in 2011. This reduction in cash flow is primarily attributable to non-cash working capital movements in respect of income and resource tax balances and a lower operating profit. The non-cash working capital movements in respect of income and resource tax balances contributed a decrease of $19.2 million in 2012 compared to an increase of $25.5 million in 2011. The $19.2 million movement for the 2012 period is largely due to $18.4 million of income and resource taxes paid in respect of 2011 taxes owed. Operating profit of $54.5 million was $31.5 million lower than in 2011. CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIESInvesting activities totalled $77.4 million in 2012, compared to $49.0 million in 2011. The majority of investing activities relate to capital expenditures at the Casa Berardi Mine, detailed as follows: CAPITAL EXPENDITURES(in thousands of Canadian dollars)20122011Casa Berardi MineDevelopment and exploration$28,881$33,191Mining equipment and infrastructure45,93413,709Casa Berardi Mine total74,81546,900Other property, plant and equipment222370Total capital expenditures$75,037$47,270The $45.9 million invested in mining equipment and infrastructure at Casa Berardi in 2012 included $15.5 million on machinery and equipment, $12.3 million on the shaft deepening, $10.1 million on the paste backfill and wet shotcrete plants, and $6.1 million on surface infrastructure. In 2011, the $13.7 million investment related primarily to machinery and equipment. In addition to capital expenditures, the Company's investing activities for 2012 included $0.7 million of mineral property option payments, $1.2 million of reclamation deposits and $0.5 million of marketable securities under the terms of a property option agreement. In 2011, the Company's investing activities included $0.8 million of mineral property option payments, $0.4 million of reclamation deposits and $0.5 million to acquire marketable securities under the terms of a property option agreement. CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIESFinancing activities, primarily related to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of stock options, resulted in cash inflows of $5.8 million in 2012, compared to $1.8 million in 2011.SUMMARY OF FOURTH QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEREVENUERevenue in Q4'12 totalled $56.2 million, primarily from the sale of 33,147 gold ounces at a realized gold price of US$1,701 per ounce, compared to revenue in Q4'11 of $85.7 million, from the sale of 50,787 gold ounces at a realized gold price of US$1,655 per ounce. The $29.5 million decrease in revenue from Q4'11 to Q4'12 is comprised of the following components:$29.7 million decrease from 34.7% fewer gold ounces sold, mainly as a result of reduced production due to lower grades; and a $1.3 million decrease from a weakening of the USD/CAD exchange rate realized on gold sales in Q4'12 to 0.993, from 1.016 realized in Q4'11; partially offset by a $1.5 million increase from a 2.8% rise in the realized gold price per ounce. COST OF SALESCost of sales in Q4'12 totalled $32.3 million, comprised of operating costs of $22.7 million and depreciation and amortization of $9.6 million. Cost of sales in Q4'11 totalled $38.9 million, comprised of operating costs of $26.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $12.5 million. The $6.6 million, or 17.0%, decrease from Q4'11 to Q4'12 reflects higher unit production costs more than offset by lower sales volume. Operating costs, comprised of mining, milling and refining costs, decreased by $3.7 million from Q4'11 to Q4'12. Total cash costs were US$683 per gold ounce in Q4'12, compared to US$503 in Q4'11, while gold ounces sold decreased to 33,147 ounces in Q4'12 from 50,787 ounces in Q4'11. The increase in total cash costs per ounce is attributable mainly to the combination of a lower average ore grade, a lower mill recovery rate, general inflationary pressures, reduced efficiency from mining smaller-sized stopes and development temporarily constrained by the shaft-deepening project. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2.9 million from Q4'11 to Q4'12. On a unit basis, this expense increased to US$294 per ounce in Q4'12 from US$241 in Q4'11. This increase reflects the amortization of higher-than-historical levels of capital investment seen in 2011 and 2012, and the decrease in sales volume from Q4'11 to Q4'12.GROSS PROFITGross profit was $23.9 million in Q4'12, compared to $46.8 million in Q4'11. This change reflects revenue lower by $29.5 million and cost of sales lower by $6.6 million as described above. A higher realized gold price was more than offset by higher total cash costs, resulting in an operating profit margin of US$1,018 per ounce in Q4'12, as compared to US$1,152 per ounce in Q4'11.EXPLORATION COSTSExploration expenditures on mineral properties in Quebec, exclusive of Casa Berardi, decreased to $2.0 million in Q4'12 from $6.2 million in Q4'11. This decrease is largely due to minimal expenditures related to the Hosco deposit in Q4'12, whereas exploration and feasibility work were ongoing in Q4'11.GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATION COSTSGeneral and administrative costs reflect the head office costs in Vancouver, B.C. as well as the administrative and technical group in Val d'Or, Quebec. These costs increased to $4.6 million in Q4'12, from $4.1 million in Q4'11.INCOME AND RESOURCE TAX EXPENSEIncome and resource taxes in Q4'12 totalled $6.9 million, or 42.3% of profit before taxes, compared to $17.0 million, or 43.8% of profit before taxes in Q4'11. Current income and resource tax expense totalled $4.2 million in Q4'12 compared to $19.2 million in Q4'11.NET PROFITNet profit of $9.5 million, or $0.06 per basic share, was achieved in Q4'12, compared to net profit of $21.8 million, or $0.13 per share, in Q4'11. The reduction of 56.4% is mostly explained by the combination of lower gold production at higher production costs and a non-recurring $1.3 million impairment loss on marketable securities, partially offset by the combination of a higher realized gold price per ounce, lower exploration costs and a lower effective tax rate.OUTLOOK FOR 2013With a year-end cash and cash equivalents balance of $204.2 million together with strong operating cash flows, management of Aurizon expects that Aurizon will be able to fund the capital and exploration projects planned for 2013. Production performance at Casa Berardi was consistent with Aurizon's revised expectations for 2012 at 136,848 ounces. Aurizon is currently in a transition phase at Casa Berardi while it installs the required infrastructure to commence mining new areas east of the production shaft. These new mining areas will be the foundation of future underground production at Casa Berardi. The shaft sinking and lateral development out to the 118 and 123 Zones are in progress and the operation is expected to transition from the existing mining areas over the next 18 months. Management of Aurizon currently expects that Aurizon will be making a significant investment in Casa Berardi in 2013 in order to continue the development of the lower levels of the West Mine and secure a strong production profile into the future. Following the transition period, Aurizon expects that Casa Berardi will return to historical production levels.CASA BERARDI STRATEGY FOR 2013OPERATIONSOperational flexibility will be constrained in the first half of 2013 during the continued shaft sinking and development to commission the 118 and 123 Zones. As a result, it is estimated that Casa Berardi will produce approximately 125,000 - 130,000 ounces of gold in 2013 at an average grade of 7.2 grams of gold per tonne. Gold production should gradually increase through the year as more stopes become available and should reach historic levels in the second half of the year.Major shutdowns are planned for 2013, particularly in the first quarter, in order to switch over to the deepened shaft and incorporate new infrastructure into the mining schedule.As quarterly operating results are expected to fluctuate throughout the year, they will not necessarily be reflective of these full year averages. Lower throughput at lower than average ore grades is expected in the first half of 2013 which is expected to result in approximately 33% fewer ounces of gold produced in the first half of 2013 compared to the second half of the year.Average daily ore throughput is estimated at 1,760 tonnes per day, which would be lower than the 1,896 tonnes per day achieved in 2012. Mine sequencing in 2013 will result in ore grades that are expected to be 6% higher than 2012 at approximately 7.2 grams per tonne. Zone 118 is expected to provide ore for the first time in the third quarter with an anticipated average grade in 2013 of approximately 7.9 grams per tonne. Approximately 46% of production is expected to come from Zone 113; 22% from Zone 118; 13% from the Lower Inter Zone; and the residual 19% coming from the smaller zones and development material. Assuming a Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate at parity, total cash costs are anticipated to average US$810 per ounce in 2013 for the year gradually decreasing to US$700 per ounce in the second half. Onsite mining, milling and administration costs are expected to average $170 per tonne in 2013, up approximately 21% from 2012 projected costs as a result of the impact of fixed operating costs on lower ore throughput, higher stope preparation costs, and industry wide inflationary cost pressures, gradually trending down to $155 per tonne in the second part of the year.CAPITAL EXPENDITURESCapital expenditures at Casa Berardi are estimated to total $102.3 million in 2013, comprised of the following: (in millions of Canadian dollars)2013 BudgetSustaining Capital ExpendituresMining development$24.4Shaft deepening19.3Paste backfill plant7.8Property, plant and equipment11.1Infill and exploration drilling4.1Drill extensions of the East Mine open pit1.2Wet shotcrete plant0.6Miscellaneous projects0.869.3New Capital ProjectsDevelopment of East Mine open pit(1)26.0Principal Zone development7.033.0Total$102.3(1) Subject to further studies and permittingDeepening of the West Mine production shaft continues at a budgeted cost of $19.3 million in order to provide access to the lower portions of the 113, 118 and 123 Zones. The shaft, currently at a depth of 920 metres, will be extended to approximately 1,080 metres below surface, which will provide access at the 1,010 metre level to develop a drift from the shaft to Zones 118 and 123. The shaft deepening is expected to be completed near the end of 2013 and commissioned by the first quarter of 2014.Mining equipment replacement and fleet expansion to support the expanded development activities is budgeted at $11.1 million. A further $7.8 million will be invested to complete the construction of a paste backfill plant and $7.0 million for the development of the Principal Zone from the 280 metre level.Subject to further studies and permitting, $26 million is budgeted in 2013 to begin the excavation of the East Mine open pit with the objective of commencing production from the pit by early 2014. A review and update of the prefeasibility done by BBA on the East Mine Open Pit is underway. The block model is being revised and the mandate to commence additional geotechnical studies has been awarded to Golder Associates. The implication of the presence of underground openings of the East Mine will also be subject to further studies. Permitting for the operation of a rock quarry, road construction and relocation, wood clearing and excavation of the open pit has been initiated with excavation of the surface overburden planned to start during the third quarter of 2013. The mining approach including mining rate and unit costs is also under review.EXPLORATIONIn 2013, it is expected that $5.2 million will be invested on exploration at Casa Berardi which will include approximately 58,000 metres of surface and underground diamond drilling. Up to three surface, and five to seven underground drill rigs will be active during the course of 2013. Aurizon expects to capitalize these costs as the primary objective of the drilling will be to improve the quality of the known reserves and resources as well as exploring for extensions of these structures.Surface exploration will include testing the South domain of Zone 123 to investigate extensions of known mineralization.Underground rigs will primarily focus on definition drilling of Zones 113, 118, 123, and the Principal Zone. In addition, exploration drilling from underground will be performed on the Cherty Zone 159.EXPLORATION FOCUS FOR 2013ADVANCED STAGE GOLD DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY - HEVA AND HOSCO WEST EXTENSION AREASAn initial $1.5 million exploration program, consisting of further drilling, metallurgical work and a 10,000 metre of surface drill program is planned for the Heva deposit, to fill the gap inside the resource outline on sections that are supported by historic holes. Additional drilling of the down-dip extensions on Heva and Hosco West will correspond to the conceptual mining and economic studies and metallurgical testworks that are planned. With the 2012 drill program at Heva now completed, it is intended that an in-pit and underground mineral resource estimate will be completed within the first half of 2013. Up to three drill rigs will be active with the majority of the drilling to be performed during the first quarter of 2013.DUVAY PROPERTYA total budget of $0.5 million including 4,350 metres of drilling is planned at the Duvay property for 2013.MARBAN PROPERTYAn updated mineral resource estimate on the Phase II drilling completed in August 2012 is in progress and is expected to be completed by early 2013. Following the updated mineral resource estimate the Company will review and evaluate a Phase III drill program.Pursuant to an option agreement, Aurizon may earn up to a 65% interest in the Marban property, which comprises 42 mining claims and 3 mining concessions covering 976 hectares in the center of the Malartic gold mining camp in the Abitibi region of Quebec, subject to underlying royalties.NON-GAAP MEASURESIn addition to GAAP measures presented in the Company's financial statements prepared under IFRS, the Company and certain investors utilize non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to revenue, cost of sales and net profit as reported in the audited (2011) and unaudited (2012; Q4'12; Q4'11) statements of comprehensive income.RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURESThree months ended December 31,Year ended December 31,Unit of MeasureReference2012201120122011RevenueC$'00056,20385,683223,558259,999Less: Silver by-product credits(232)(292)(990)(1,063)Gold sales revenueC$'00055,97185,391222,568258,936Realized US$/C$ exchange rate0.9931.0161.0020.992Gold sales revenueUS$'000A56,38784,039222,094260,905Cost of salesC$'000B32,32938,914131,788127,725Less: Depreciation and amortizationC(9,645)(12,514)(37,539)(38,927)Less: Silver by-product credits(232)(292)(990)(1,063)Cash operating costsC$'000D22,45226,10893,25987,735Average US$/C$ exchange rateE0.9911.0231.0000.989Cash operating costsUS$'000F22,64725,52193,29888,705Gold ounces soldOuncesG33,14750,787133,990165,250Tonnes milledTonnesH183,677170,283693,859698,123Inventory adjustment to Cost of sales (a)C$'000I116(2,021)3,038(447)Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")Net profit for the periodC$'0009,45321,81031,80743,931Depreciation and amortization9,69212,56637,72939,131Finance income(558)(503)(2,236)(1,538)Finance costs203230856921Income and resource tax expense6,93616,96824,26642,653EBITDAC$'00025,72651,07192,422125,098Unit Non-GAAP Measures:Realized gold priceUS$/ounceA÷G1,7011,6551,6581,578Total cash costsUS$/ounceF÷G683503696537Operating profit marginUS$/ounce1,0181,1529621,041Total cash costsUS$/ounceF÷G683503696537Depreciation and amortizationUS$/ounce(C÷G)÷E294241280238Total production costsUS$/ounce977744976775Unit mining costsC$/tonne(B+C+I)÷H124143140127(a) This inventory adjustment in the calculation of unit mining costs reflects production costs associated with unsold gold bullion and ore inventory.QUALIFIED PERSON AND QUALITY CONTROLInformation of a scientific or technical nature in this document was prepared under the supervision of Martin Bergeron, P.

Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects, "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes", or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to those set out in this news release, the most recent technical reports for the Company's properties and the Company's annual information form ("AIF") for its most recent year end filed on SEDAR. Such assumptions include those relating to U.S. : Canadian dollar exchange rates, gold price per ounce, anticipated fuel prices, that the mine plan and gold recoveries will be achieved, that pre-production capital costs, operating costs and sustaining and restoration costs will be as estimated, the availability of an experienced workforce and suppliers for projects, that equipment will be available when required and at estimated costs, that the assumptions underlying mineral resource estimates are valid and that no unforeseen accident, fire, ground instability, flooding, labour disruption, equipment failure, metallurgical, environmental or other events that could delay or increase the cost of development or production will occur, that the results of exploration activities will be consistent with the Company's expectations, that the current price of and demand for gold will be sustained or will improve, the supply of gold will remain stable, that the general business, political and economic conditions as well as those specific to the Company's operations will not change in a material adverse manner, and that financing will be available if and when needed on reasonable terms. Forward-looking information is by its nature uncertain and involves foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and other factors which may cause the actual outcomes, costs, timing and performance to be materially different from those anticipated by such information. Such risks and factors include, among others, the risk that any of the assumptions on which the forward looking information is based prove to be incorrect or invalid, the risk of unexpected variations in mineral resources and reserves, grade or recovery rates, of failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, of accidents, labour disputes, of unanticipated delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, risk that estimated costs, including costs of labour, equipment and materials, including power, are not as anticipated, of an undiscovered defect in title or other adverse claim, that results of exploration activities will be different than anticipated, that the future price of gold will decline, that the Canadian dollar will strengthen against the U.S. dollar, that mineral resources and reserves are not as estimated, that actual costs of restoration activities are greater than expected and that changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined result in increased costs There are a number of other risks and uncertainties associated with exploration, development and mining activities that may affect the reliability of the forward looking information herein, including those described in Aurizon's AIF and in Aurizon's Annual Report on Form 40-F ("40-F") filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The AIF and 40-F are available respectively on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. There may be factors in addition to those described herein or in the AIF or 40F that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information due to the inherent uncertainty thereof.NOTE TO U.S. READERSAurizon is required to describe mineral reserves associated with its properties utilizing Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") definitions of "proven" or "probable", which categories of reserves are recognized by Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), but which differ from those definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and contained in Industry Guide 7. In addition, under NI 43-101 the Company is required to describe mineral resources associated with its properties utilizing CIM definitions of "measured", "indicated" or "inferred", which categories of resources are recognized by Canadian regulations but are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements of United States companies filed with the SEC.Accordingly, information contained in this news release regarding our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. In particular, this presentation uses the terms "measured" and "indicated" resources. U.S. readers are cautioned that while these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured mineral resources or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves.This news release also uses the term "inferred" resources. U.S readers are cautioned that while this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize it. "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. readers are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.For additional information regarding reserves and resource information set forth in this news release, refer to our public filings, including our NI 43-101 technical reports, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.Aurizon Mines Ltd.Balance Sheets (unaudited)(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)As at,December 31, 2012December 31, 2011ASSETSCurrent assetsCash and cash equivalents$204,232$213,486Marketable securities477864Inventories16,43312,545Accounts receivable and other5,8859,679Derivative instrument assets-357Tax credits and other taxes receivable10,0615,210Total current assets237,088242,141Non-current assetsProperty, plant and equipment204,451164,783Mineral properties5,2854,995Deferred finance costs178343Other assets2,6496,324TOTAL ASSETS$449,651$418,586LIABILITIESCurrent liabilitiesAccounts payable and accrued liabilities$29,342$25,993Current income and resource tax liabilities3,12118,338Total current liabilities32,46344,331Non-current liabilitiesProvisions16,70616,153Deferred tax liabilities35,95536,918Total liabilities85,12497,402EQUITYShareholders' equityIssued share capital282,600274,165Contributed surplus2,9211,170Stock based compensation19,67518,711Accumulated other comprehensive losses-(386)Retained earnings59,33127,524Total shareholders' equity364,527321,184TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY$449,651$418,586Aurizon Mines Ltd.Statements of Comprehensive Income (unaudited)(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)For the years ended,December 31, 2012December 31, 2011Revenue$223,558$259,999Less: Cost of sales(131,788)(127,725)Gross profit91,770132,274Other operating expensesExploration costs(17,899)(26,468)General and administrative costs(17,531)(19,356)Other net losses(1,840)(457)Operating profit54,50085,993Finance income2,2361,538Finance costs(856)(1,112)Other derivative gains193165Profit before income and resource taxes56,07386,584Income and resource tax expense(24,266)(42,653)NET PROFIT31,80743,931Other comprehensive income (loss)Unrealized loss on marketable securities-(765)Recycling of impairment loss on marketable securities386-TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME$32,193$43,166Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - Basic164,169162,623Earnings per share - Basic$0.19$0.27Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - Diluted164,927164,374Earnings per share - Diluted$0.19$0.27Aurizon Mines Ltd.Statements of Cash Flows (unaudited)(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated)For the years ended,December 31, 2012December 31, 2011Operating activitiesNet profit$31,807$43,931Adjustments for non-cash items:Depreciation and amortization37,72939,131Share-based compensation5,3136,526Deferred income tax (recovery) expense(964)1,540Refundable and non-refundable taxes3,6292,077Change in fair value of marketable securities1,273-Derivative losses (gains)357(357)Other9101,58180,05494,429Decrease (increase) in non-cash working capital items(17,682)26,595Net cash provided by operating activities62,372121,024Investing activitiesProperty, plant and equipment(75,037)(47,270)Mineral properties(650)(800)Other investing activities(1,742)(918)Net cash used in investing activities(77,429)(48,988)Financing activitiesIssuance of shares5,8373.102Deferred finance costs-(493)Long-term obligations-(773)Net cash provided by financing activities5,8371,836Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents(9,254)74,145Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash(34)273Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of year213,486139,341Cash and cash equivalents - end of year$204,232$213,486About AurizonAurizon is a gold producer with a growth strategy focused on developing its existing projects in the Abitibi region of north-western Quebec, one of the world's most favourable mining jurisdictions and prolific gold and base metal regions, and by increasing its asset base through accretive transactions.

Everyday Math = junk
Readers respond in the NYPost to my column on Fuzzy Math.
My favorite:
I live in an Everyday Math district in Pennsylvania, and while scores on our state test, the PSSA, are rising, our SAT scores are dropping.
Our state standards and the PSSA are aligned with constructivist programs like Everyday Math. Even a perfect score on the PSSA does not ensure that a student knows the math that he should at his grade level.
A child could be getting straight As in Everyday Math and still be counting on his fingers.
I have heard Everyday Math referred to as "Every Night Math" because every night parents are teaching their children the math they should be learning in school or driving them to tutoring centers to supplement their education.
