Inventory Management: A Complete Guide for Retailers
What is inventory management?
Inventory management simply refers to the handling and controlling of a company's non-capitalised assets. For most retailers, this involves the overseeing and controlling of finished items that are ready to be sold.
The fundamental goal is to keep inventory levels balanced at all times without ever having too much or too little product in stock. So staying on top of ordering, forecasting and storage are key parts of good quality inventory management - something most businesses will use quality inventory management software for.

Why is inventory management important?
A retail business is useless without its inventory. Yet holding this inventory ties up a lot of cash and resources. Being able to manage it effectively and efficiently is therefore vitally important to cash flow and a great way to save money.
Save on storage costs
Warehousing costs tend to fluctuate based on how much product is being stored and for how long. The longer an item sits on a shelf without being sold, the more it costs a business.
Good inventory management results in items spending less time sitting in the warehouse before being sold. And this means reduced costs for storing them.
Avoid spoiled or dead stock
It's not just storage costs where a retailer is potentially losing money from poor inventory management. Perishable items will be entirely wasted should too much be ordered at one time or it isn't stored sufficiently.
Too much stock that becomes 'dead' due to going out of season or style is similarly wasteful. Better managing of inventory helps avoid wasting money on too much spoiled or dead stock.
Improve cash flow
Any inventory is likely to have been paid for upfront. But until this stock is sold, it's just a hole in the bank balance and a dip in cash flow.
This leaves more money in the bank to spend on growth instead of inventory.
Calculating inventory value
Knowing what items are actually in stock and being stored as inventory in the warehouse is, of course, vital. On top of this, it's also key to know the value of this inventory.
Inventory value is a legal accounting requirement, but is also a piece of data that gives a crucial insight when making certain business decisions. For example, whether you can afford to purchase new stock.
Some retailers use retail accounting software such as Xero for inventory management, whilst others will outsource to third party accountancy firms.
The figure tends to be a sum total of how much it costs to acquire your inventory, including any freight or transport costs. There are a few basic methods for calculating this.
FIFO works on the model of having the oldest inventory brought into stock being sold first. Calculating cost of goods would therefore align with the following example:
If you sell 100 iPhone cases and brought in the first 75 at a cost of $5 and the next 25 at a cost of $7.50, then cost of goods would be:
- First 75 at $5 = $375
- Second 25 at $7.50 = $187.50
LIFO works by having the newest inventory brought into stock being sold first. See how cost of goods differs when using the same example:
If you sell 100 iPhone cases and brought in the first 75 at a cost of $5 and the next 25 at a cost of $7.50, then cost of goods would be:
- First 75 at $7.50 = $562.50
- Second 25 at $5 = $125
This is where an average unit cost over a specific period of time is used to calculate the cost of inventory.
The Average Cost method is generally used when FIFO or LIFO aren't able to be used in a retailer's accounting system. Or if it's particularly difficult to assign a specific cost to individual items.
FIFO tends to be the most commonly used method. But LIFO can be useful in industries where prices fluctuate a lot or the newest units genuinely are sold first.
It's worth noting, however, that some regions don't allow LIFO as a viable method of calculating cost of goods. FIFO is therefore the more popular and generally recommended option.
Inventory management techniques
Now that we've established a way of calculating inventory value, let's start taking a look at what good quality inventory management actually looks like in practice.
There are several key techniques and methods that can be used to manage inventory effectively.
Just in Time (JIT)
The Just in Time method is where a business would maintain a very low level of inventory and order goods in as and when they are needed. This represents a move away from the traditional philosophy of piling stock high to meet any sudden rises in demand.
The severely reduced amount of inventory being held at any one time means a business can save massively on storage costs and decrease waste.
However, it requires finely tuned and accurate forecasting that accounts for seasonal fluctuations in demand. Any mistakes here can result in not being able to fulfil orders and a nosedive in customer satisfaction.
Regular stock review
A stock review is simply a typical analysis of stock against projected future sales. This is particularly useful for any retailer still managing all inventory manually, although it is highly recommended to invest in a specific software.
It's best to set a predefined period to complete the stock review over. Then compare current stock levels against future projections to determine how much inventory to order.
Obviously, this can save money in the short term if no software or specific system has been purchased. But doing manual stock reviews can be a monumental drain on time and resources while also opening up huge potential for human error.
ABC Analysis
This enables a retailer to analyze all current on-hand inventory by dividing it into three categories - A, B and C. Which category a particular item falls into is based on inventory value and cost significance.
- A Items: Are of high value with low sales frequency.
- B Items: Are of moderate value with moderate sales frequency.
- C Items: Are of low value with high sales frequency.
ABC Analysis allows a retailer to prioritise how they manage different inventory items. It works well alongside the Just in Time technique as it allows to point focus at items that need more attention.
For example, A items are of high value but stock levels will be kept lower so maintaining a close eye on these is essential. Whereas C items are relatively high in number and so don't need such tight observation.
While this is a popular method, it's worth noting that its analysis is based purely on monetary value and doesn't take any other factors into account.
Dropshipping effectively removes the task of inventory management from a retail business. A customer would place an order and then have it fulfilled straight from the manufacturer or wholesaler.
A premium is usually added on top of bulk buying any stock, but this can be offset by the complete lack of warehouse or storage costs.
Dropshipping can be a great option for startups or smaller businesses. But order processing can prove tricky and the lack of control over customer experience means it's something to think twice about for high-growth and larger retailers.
Inventory management forecasting
A phenomenal amount of good inventory management comes down to being able to forecast future demand for specific items. And to put it plainly - this is no easy task.
There are a multitude of variables that can affect demand and it's impossible to know for certain exactly what's round the corner.
Thankfully though, there are some ideas to consider to help predict as closely as possible.
Set forecasting boundaries
It's essential to set certain boundaries when forecasting in order to give the most reliable and accurate outcome:
- Forecast period. This is the specific amount of time into the future that a forecast will be attempting to predict.
- Trend in demand. The increase or decrease in demand over a certain period of time. Trends over the short, medium and long term past should be considered in order to make future projections easier.
- Base demand. This is simply the exact current demand for a product at the specific point a forecast is due to start from.
Know reorder points
Setting a clear reorder point for each item allows retailers to know exactly when to order new stock. It is a specific point that acts as a trigger as soon as stock has diminished to that certain level.
It's important to consider the lead time for new stock to be delivered when setting reorder points. Enough stock should be leftover to keep up with demand before the new inventory is available.
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
After deciphering the exact point new orders need to be placed, it's time to consider how much stock to actually order. This is where the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula takes prime position.
EOQ is a calculation that helps work out the ideal quantity of inventory to order for a specific product while minimising carrying costs. The three variables involved are:
- Demand. The number of units sold over a given time period, usually a year.
- Relevant ordering cost. Total ordering cost per purchase order. This includes all staff, transportation and any other costs associated with making each purchase order.
- Relevant carrying cost. Assume the item is in stock for the entire time period in question and decipher the carrying cost per unit.
Then put these into the following formula:
For example, a business sells 2,400 office chairs a year (200 a month) with ordering costs of each purchase order being $100. If the carrying cost per unit is worked out at $5, then the formula turns into this:
Economic Order Quantity = square root of ((2 x 2,400) x $100) ÷ $5)
Economic Order Quantity = square root of 96,000
Economic Order Quantity = 310
So in this particular example, we've determined that the perfect order quantity for this specific item is 310 units.
Key inventory management metrics
Some key metrics and equations have already been mentioned in this guide. But there are several more that are involved and need to be paid close attention to when it comes to high quality inventory management.
Inventory turnover
Inventory turnover gives an indication of how quickly stock is sold and shipped once it has been received into a warehouse. The faster stock is moved, the less it costs to store it and the more profit can be made on each sale.
Keeping track of this enables greater insight into the popularity of certain items to help gauge future buying practices.
Use the following formula to calculate inventory turnover:
Safety stock
Safety stock is the backup stock needed to meet unexpected occurrences and sudden changes in demand.
For example, an unexpected heat wave could see retailers selling barbecue equipment experience a sudden rush in demand. The stock needs to be there to meet this, but they also don't want to keep too much on hand at any one time.
This is where the following formula can be useful to ensure a healthy balance:
Reorder point
As mentioned earlier, reorder points are vital in order to know exactly when to order new stock for a specific item.
In essence, an item's reorder point needs to be as soon as its safety stock levels are hit. But the lead time between ordering and receiving the order needs to be taken into account.
Use the following formula for a simple way to calculate specific reorder points:
Backorder rate
Keeping an eye on backorder rate is an excellent way of analyzing forecasting success.
A high backorder rate means a lot of orders are coming in for items that aren't in stock. Of course, sudden unexpected rises in demand can account for this. But if backorder rate is consistently high then it's likely a result of poor planning and forecasting.
Work out backorder rate with the following formula:
Carrying cost of inventory
The carrying cost of inventory is basically the cost a business pays for holding goods in stock over a given time period. This can include storage costs, insurance, depreciation, staff costs, taxes and any other expenses relating to holding inventory.
Businesses use this data to determine the amount of profitthat can be made on current inventory. It's also useful to help determine how much inventory to keep on hand.
This is then usually expressed as a percentage of the mean inventory value over the same time period:
Choosing inventory management software
Paying close attention to the above techniques and metrics is a great start. But a growing retail business should be aiming to remove potential for human error as much as possible.
This means taking advantage of a specific inventory management system or piece of software to support manual efforts.
What is inventory management software?
Inventory Management Software effectively does all the heavy lifting for a business when it comes to managing their inventory.
A computerised system is put into place that tracks orders and items through that business' entire supply chain. This allows the business to see the various parts of its operations in one place and manage everything effectively without relying on manual, paper or spreadsheet processes.
Features of good quality software
Different sized and types of business will have different needs. But good quality software will be able to manage a retailer's operations throughout their entire supply chain.
Here are a few aspects good quality software should cover:
- Receiving orders. Process customer orders from all sales channels and bring them together to manage in a single place.
- Managing inventory. Take in information across any number of warehouses and locations and update this across sales channels in real-time.
- Warehouse support. Provide barcode systems as well as item location and picking support for warehouse operations.
- Shipping integration. Capability to ship online orders directly in the software and integrate with inventory levels automatically.
- Report key metrics. Easy access to detailed performance analytics that give key insights on making inventory and overall business decisions going forward.
- Innovation driven. Retail is changing at a rapid pace and so it's good to get on board with software that is going to evolve and change with the industry.
Finding the right software
The above features are foundational pillars to consider with any inventory management system. But each business' requirements can be slightly different.
It's worth making a note of any and all specific required features and then narrowing software options down to only those that provide what's on the list. For example, something like integrated barcode scanners may be an optimal feature for businesses with large warehouses.
It's always best to test drive the options first. Depending on the size of an operation and level of software, it's a good idea to either complete a free trial or setup a tailored product demonstration with the company.
Combining a computerised system with the information in this guide should enable any business to master their inventory management.

French Open Week Two Headlines
By Ryan Sallman
The first week of the French Open is officially in the books and the tournament is halfway through the round of 16. There have already been several upsets, heartbreaks, and triumphs. Here are some of the headlines to look forward to in week two.
Top 4 Still Remain
On the men's side of the draw, things have gone pretty much as planned. The top four seeds still alive and primed to meet in teh semi-finals. Top seeded Andy Murray had a bit of trouble closing out Martin Klizan in the second round but has since righted the ship. He defeated the dangerous Juan Martin Del Potro in straight sets in round three. Novak Djokovic faced a very game Diego Schwartzman in the third round but was able to come back from a 1-2 set deficit and win 6-1 in the fifth. Third seeded Stan Wawrinka has cruised through the first three rounds. He is set to take on a more difficult opponent in Gael Monfils in the fourth round. Fourth seeded Rafael Nadal has also made it through week one without dropping a set.
Nadal Red Hot
Speaking of Nadal, the king of clay has absolutely crushed his opponents thus far. Through his four matches he's played, he hasn't even come close to dropping a set. In fact, nobody has won more than four games in a set against him. He will play Pablo Carreno Busta (20) in the quarterfinals before a much more difficult test in the semi-final against either Novak Djokovic or Dominic Thiem. Nadal looks like he's playing in peak condition and is many experts favorite to win.
Mixed Results For Young Players
Going into this year's French Open, there was a group of talented young players looking to make some noise. Two of those players (Jack Sock and Alexander Zverev) lost in the first round rather unceremoniously. Australian Nick Kyrgios (18) lost in the second round to South African Kevin Anderson, and France's Lucas Pouille was taken down by Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the third. This means Dominic Thiem (6), at 23, is the youngest seeded player left in the draw. He has an incredibly tough road to the finals having to go through Djokovic. If he does beat the former champion he most likely has Nadal in the semis. If he is able to pull it off it could be a coming of age moment.
The Last Of The Americans
Venus William was the last American left in both the Men's and Women's side. Her fourth round loss to Timea Bacsinszky eliminated any hope of someone from the United States not named Serena Williams from winning the French Open for the first time since the 90s. On the Men's side, John Isner and Steve Johnson were the last remaining Americans. Both were knocked out in the third round. Johnson lost to Dominic Thiem (6) and Isner lost to the unseeded Karen Khachanov of Russia.
Women's Draw Wide Open
While the men's side is for the most part falling in place as expected, the women's side is complete anarchy. Top seeded Angeligue Kerber was knocked out on day one. Since then, all but three of the top ten seeds have lost, and no player with a major title is left in the draw. This means there is a huge opportunity for the remaining seeds (Svitolina 5, Halep 3, Pliskova 2). Unfortunately for them they are all on the bottom half of the draw as opposed to the weaker top half.
Wozniacki's Opportunity
One of the players looking to benefit from the less than stellar top half of the draw is Caroline Wozniacki. Prior to this year Wozniacki had made it to the French Open quarterfinals just once and lost in the third round or earlier in all of her other appearances. The 11th seeded Wozniacki will face off against unseeded Jelena Ostapenko in her quarterfinal match where she will be a heavy favorite.
As the tournament gets into the later rounds the matches continue to heat up. Stay tuned for history in the making with Nadal chasing his tenth title on the men's side and a new grand slam champion on the women's side. The second week is sure to be just as entertaining as the first as the clay court season comes to a close with the conclusion of Roland Garros.

Hi @Chelle1, the automated recording you're hearing is broken down into 2 parts.
The first digit '4' is the most important, identifying the type of problem. 4 indicates that the problem is coming from the person you're calling, either not accepting calls or being out of service and calls not being allowed by their provider.
The remainder of the message, 'UC3' is a composite number that is used by our technical support teams when troubleshooting.
After the 4UC3 message plays, the automated recording should proceed with the definition of the problem.
The person you're calling will have to engage their service provider for assistance.
It's odd that a text would go through but not a call, but it's possible that they (or their provider) have something blocked regarding the incoming calls.
For your texts, messages would be sent to their device. If you're both iPhone users it may be going through as iMessage which would not be related to the cellular network as those are simply sent through data/Wi-Fi connections.
The 10- message could be a suspension issue as it indicates that calls are barred or cannot be completed. If you'd like to troubleshoot on the TELUS side, feel free to visit telus.com/contact to reach out to the technical support team.

He told a committee of MPs investigating phone hacking: "I do not accept ultimate responsibility. I hold responsible the people that I trusted to run it and the people they trusted.
He earlier said he was appalled when he heard that reporters had hacked into the voicemails of missing teenager Milly Dowler.
A contrite Mr Murdoch today appeared before MPs and declared: "This is the most humble day of my life".
Sitting alongside his son, James, the 80-year-old media mogul said that he was "more than prepared" to answer the questions of the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee into the phone hacking scandal.
The start of the keenly-awaited hearing in the Wilson Room of Portcullis House was briefly disrupted as some protesters were removed.
James Murdoch, News Corp's deputy chief operating officer, opened by saying how sorry he and his father were to the victims in the News of the World phone-hacking scandal.
"It is a matter of great regret of mine, my father's and everyone at News Corporation. These actions do not live up to the standards our company aspires to everywhere around the world," he said.
"It is our determination both to put things right, make sure these things don't happen again, and to be the company that I know that we have always aspired to be."
James Murdoch told the committee the company acted "swiftly" as soon as it became aware of fresh evidence over phone hacking following a series of civil actions in 2010, particularly the case involving actress Sienna Miller.
It became apparent that more people than originally believed were victims of the practice, he added.
Mr Murdoch Jnr said: "Subsequent to our discovery of that information in one of these civil trials at the end of 2010, which I believe was the Sienna Miller case, the company immediately went to look at additional records around the individual involved, the company alerted the police and restarted, on that basis, the investigation that is now under way."
He said the company had apologised "unreservedly, which I repeat today," to phone hacking victims.
He added: "The company acted as swiftly and transparently as possible."
Asked by Labour MP Tom Watson whether he had been "misled" by senior employees, Mr Murdoch senior replied: "Clearly."
Mr Watson pointed out that former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks admitted in 2003 that police were paid for information.
Mr Murdoch senior said: "I am now aware of that, I was not aware at the time. I'm also aware that she amended that considerably very quickly afterwards."
Mr Watson said: "I think she amended it seven or eight years afterwards but did you or anyone else in your organisation investigate it at the time?"
Mr Murdoch replied: "No. I didn't know of it.
"I'm sorry, if I can just say something and this is not as an excuse, maybe it's an explanation of my laxity.
"The News of the World is less than 1% of our company. I employ 53,000 people around the world who are proud and great and ethical and distinguished people, professionals in their work.
"I'm spread watching and appointing people whom I trust to run those divisions."
Mr Yates said the Met turned over a "huge amount of staff", many on short-term contracts.
"There are numerous examples from numerous senior people, both within the Metropolitan Police and Metropolitan Police Authority, where people who are known to those people have been employed on a short-term basis and some have even become permanent employees. So it is not unusual."
Mr Yates said he classed Mr Wallis as "a friend", but stressed they were not "bosom buddies".
"I must have been round there once to pick him up for a football match. I would see him maybe two or three times a year," he said.
"Do not get the impression that we are the bosom buddies, living in each other's houses."
Mr Yates insisted he had not carried out "due diligence" when Mr Wallis was given the Met contract, and had only sought "assurances" that there was not anything being chased by the Guardian that was going to embarrass "him, me, the commissioner or the Metropolitan Police Service".
The assistant commissioner was asked about Sir Paul's reference to a No 10 official who recommended they should not disclose information such as Mr Wallis's links to the Yard to the Prime Minister.
Mr Yates said that last September he emailed Downing Street chief of staff Ed Llewellyn offering to brief Mr Cameron on aspects of the hacking inquiry.
"There was an offer in the early part of September 2010 for me to put into context some of the nuances around police language in terms of what a scoping exercise is, what an assessment is...
"That offer was properly and understandably rejected."
Mr Yates stressed that the Prime Minister was only "rarely" briefed on operational matters, usually around national security.
"I would not have disclosed any operational matters about this," he added.
Mr Yates said: "I confidently predict that as a result of the News International disclosures a very small number of police officers will go to prison as a result of corruption."
Sir Paul had earlier declared no knowledge of new claims that hacking suspect Neville Thurlbeck worked as an informer for Scotland Yard while he was a reporter at the News of the World.
When Dr Julian Huppert MP questioned him about his knowledge of a police source working at News International, the outgoing commissioner said: "I certainly would not have been aware of it."
Mr Thurlbeck, who was arrested on suspicion of illegally accessing voicemail messages in April, has admitted working as an official police source under the codename "George", the Evening Standard reported today.

Tooth decay is a common, yet preventable childhood problem. Left untreated, cavities in primary (baby) and permanent (adult) teeth become painful and negatively impact the esthetics and functionality of the teeth.
Some children are particularly susceptible to tooth decay, even after receiving regular dental examinations and oral care at home. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has recently recognized the benefits of a substance called Xylitol for reducing childhood tooth decay.
What is Xylitol?
Xylitol is a natural substance that can be found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Some of the most common Xylitol- rich foods include: berries, mushrooms, corns, and lettuces. Study results indicate that 4-20 grams of Xylitol each day, divided into three or more helpings, can reduce tooth decay and cavities by as much as 70%. As a point of reference, a single cup of berries contains a little less than one gram of Xylitol.
It can be difficult to encourage children (especially toddlers) to consistently eat four or more cups of fruit or vegetables each day. For this reason, Xylitol is also available as a sugar substitute, a gum, and as a concentrate in numerous health foods. No other sugar substitute has been shown to benefit young teeth in the same way.
It should be noted that excessive Xylitol consumption does not provide "more" tooth protection. Sticking to the recommended daily amount is enough to enhance other cavity-reduction efforts, and the effects will last well into the future.
How does Xylitol work?
The combination of many factors increases susceptibility to childhood tooth decay and cavities. These factors include: oral care habits, diet, carbohydrate consumption, sucrose consumption, salivary flow rate, and tooth resistance to plaque.
More specifically, harmful oral bacteria feed on sugars and carbohydrates, producing acids. When sugary foods are consumed, these acids attack and destroy vulnerable tooth enamel. Xylitol works to neutralize the acids, reducing enamel destruction, and minimizing the threat of cavities in the process. Xylitol also stimulates saliva production, meaning that food particles, plaque and bacteria are continually removed from the teeth. When used in combination with fluoride, Xylitol works to remineralize teeth, protecting tooth enamel and minimizing new cavity formation.
When should my child start using Xylitol?
Although Xylitol gum is not suitable for very young children, infants actually benefit from maternal chewing! Mothers of children between three months and two years old who used Xylitol gum several times each day, protected their child from tooth decay until the age of five years old. In this case, Xylitol reduced the amount of microorganisms transmitted from mother to child.
Once the child reaches toddlerhood, Xylitol can be consumed as a sugar substitute, or as a natural byproduct of eating fruit and vegetables. Older children can reduce the threat of new cavities by chewing Xylitol gum.
If you have questions or concerns about Xylitol or tooth decay, please contact our practice.

I just want to say that Dr. Fong definitely stands behind his work. My son had a crown put in but it later fell out by accident. Well, Dr. Fong was willing to replace it without even charging us anything for the work. He re-did the entire crown and did a beautiful job!
Sheila R.
When I went to Dr. Fong the first time for cleaning, he was very thorough and attentive to detail. He didn't try to rush at all, but he took his time and was extremely careful. Later, when I needed an extraction, he was able to do it quickly and completely painlessly. I have since then referred many of my friends and colleagues to him.
Sal V.
I'm a father of 3 kids. I've been taking my children to Dr. Fong for several years. He's great with kids. At first, 2 of the kids were quite scared but his gentle way of working with them helped them to relax and soon they had no anxiety at all when it came time for their dental appointments. I could see that Dr. Fong has had a lot of experience working with kids because he is able to relate to them so easily.

Since our humble beginnings in a local church basement in 1994, Neighbors' Consejo has been working with and for some of the most vulnerable members of our city.
We were founded when a small group of concerned residents sought an effective way to alleviate the rising tide of homelessness and addiction they witnessed daily on the streets of their Mount Pleasant neighborhood. That core group became our first board of directors upon incorporating Neighbors' Consejo in 1995. In response to the high concentration of the City's Latino population in Ward One, we placed special emphasis on providing services in a linguistically and culturally appropriate manner right from the start.
The spirit of mutual respect between ourselves as professionals and each participant in our programs anchors our approach. Our name itself means Neighbors' "Advice" and evokes the climate of dignity we seek to create in and through our work. In striving towards the goal of ending homelessness and helping those in need to develop self-sufficiency, we respond directly to the personal and social conditions that lie at their root cause. Each of our programs have been a part of our overall continuum of care, which we designed to address the many complicated issues facing our neighbors in need.
Today, we extend our hand to join with others to help our neighbors throughout the City, in our locations in the NW and SE sections of DC.

NHHS Inc. will work toward empowering the clients to develop skills and to set plans and goals for achieving mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well being.
NHHS Inc. in brief:
Resolutions were passed in 2003 by Norway House Cree Nation Chief & Council and Norway House Community Mayor & Council to form the Norway House Health Services Incorporated Board of Directors. This Board was comprised of Norway House Community Council members and the Norway House Health Services Committee. The Norway House Health Services Committee was initially made up of the Chief and three Councillors, a quorum of Council that supported and governed the health programs and services delivered by Norway House Cree Nation. The Community Council members were officially part of the Board in 2006 when Provincial legislation was changed. New legislation allowed Mayor and Council to pass a by-law to be part of a health board in conjunction with a First Nation. Although it took a period of time for the Community Council members to legally be part of the health board all the members acted in unison as the Health Integration Initiative project progressed.
As stated in the Band Council Resolution and Community Council Resolutions [2003] The NHHS Inc. Board was to be given the mandate and authority to handle all health related matters for the Community and its residents. This would ensure that all issues, matters and concerns affecting healthcare are funneled into one unit. The aim of establishing NHHS Inc. was to work toward a collective health program for all of Norway House.
The progression of the Corporation is still underway, and the Board of Directors are now seeking an Executive Director to complete the goals of the Health Integration Initiative.
The Board is composed of an equal number of representatives from each Council consisting of three Cree Nation and three Community Council members, as well as two Elder Advisors. The initial use of Council members as board members allows for stable negotiations with Partners, ensuring that the anticipated outcomes are adhered to. Once all negotiations are complete transfer of funding agreements and services form Norway House Cree Nation to NHHS Inc. can legally occur. In addition, new board members will be appointed and elected by the Councils and community members.
Board Members & Staff
Norway House Health Services Inc.: A legal Incorporation as per Province of Manitoba guidelines that is comprised of community members to provide organized programs and services. The NHHS Inc. will develop and reach an agreement on a plan for bringing together (integrating) health services and programs currently provided through Federal and Provincial programs in Norway House.
The Health Integration Initiative (HII) Staff have assisted the NHHSI Board with the premature stages of their full implementation as a collective unit. The Executive Director to be hired in the Spring of 2007 will take over the duties of the Health Integration Initiative staff, and bring together the goals of the HII project with that of Norway House Cree Nation health services.

Community Profile
Norway House Cree Nation is one of the largest First Nations in Northern Manitoba and is located adjacent to the community of Norway House. The reserve consists of 19,435 acres along the southern shoreline of Little Playgreen Lake and the Nelson River. Norway House is a beautiful community made up of the mainland, and three islands connected by bridges. The population is comprised of approximately 6,700 people with the majority residing on the reserve.
Norway House is approximately 920 kilometers North of Winnipeg and 200 kilometers south of Thompson. The community is accessible by an all-weather road and airline services. There are scheduled flights daily to and from Winnipeg provided by two airlines, Perimeter and North American Charters. A Provincial ferry is accessible 24 hours daily during the spring to autumn seasons. An ice crossing is utilized in the winter.
The governance of the Norway House Cree Nation is comprised of one Chief and six Councillors who are elected to four-year terms, rather than the two-year terms established under the Indian Act. The community of Norway House is governed by one Mayor and six Councillors, elected in on staggered three-year terms. The community is regulated by the Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Act - Province of Manitoba legislation.
Developments continuously occur through resources supplied by the land, people and external businesses, organizations and agencies. There is an ever-increasing number of negotiations that produce greater capacity building in the community members of Norway House, especially in the areas of education, economics, and human resources. A brand new state-of-the-art integrated education centre for Nursery to Grade 12 was officially opened in September 2004. The University College of the North was also established in 2004 and operates approximately 10 post-secondary programs.
Norway House continues to grow in its capacity due to its outstanding level of partnerships. One remarkable trademark of this community is a large amount of the programs and services is owned and operated by its own Aboriginal people. One can only expect higher levels of standard and positive outcomes for the future.
Logo Description
The Norway House Health Services Inc. logo was developed by two talented local Norway House residents: Larson Sinclair and Bryan Crate. The logo has been designed to incorporate the spirit of the Norway House Cree Nation, the Norway House Community Council and the health related services offered throughout the community. The outer healing hands show the aim of NHHS Inc. to enable our people to heal holistically.
The history of Norway House is marked by the white and red archway which was built in the 1840's. It was used during the beginning of the Fur Trade era and is currently the oldest "Red River construction style warehouse" in Manitoba. The flag above the archway symbolizes the Metis Nation. The York Boats floating on either side of the flag were used during the Fur Trade to transport furs and goods from Red River settlements all the way to York Factory. Today these boats mark the community's Treaty and York Boat Days, a significant summer celebration.
Several symbols illustrate the culture of the people residing in Norway House. The four colors white, blue, red and yellow represent the four directions - north, east, south and west - and the four races of people - white, black, red, and yellow. The circle is a powerful symbol in Aboriginal culture as it shows the connectedness in nature and the interrelatedness of all living things. All entities of mother earth are equal. The outer components of the circle are half and half representation of the Aboriginal peoples within Norway House; half Metis sash and half sweetgrass with embracing feathers.
The landscape and peace pipe that mark the horizon show our kinship with nature. The pipe has been traditionally used by medicine peoples and/or healers to assist with communication of prayers to the Creator. The smoke from the pipe comes in the form of an eagle - a very powerful, strong being. The bear print depicts the healing and strength of the "Bear spirit".
All components mark the sum of the parts of Norway House, a very multi-faceted community.

intel is expecting to ramp up pentium 4 production aggressively in the second half of 2001 with their brookdale chipset that will support sdram but not ddr. paul otellini, senior vp and gm of the intel architecture group, stated that the transition of the pentium 4 to ddr memory would happen "as fast as we can get it out" and gave no timetable. what he didn't state is that intel's contract with rambus doesn't allow them to "get it out" until 2003. otellini also made comments about how ddr is more expensive than sdram and that rdram is coming down in price. this is all generally true. even though ddr vendors are pricing ddr the same as sdram, you can go to any memory outlet and beat their sdram pricing by a large amount. you cannot do that with ddr. another anomaly is that spot pricing of 256mb modules of rdram has increased a great deal recently due to demand.

the p4 was designed with rdram in mind. i don't think the chip coupled with sdram or even ddr will perform all that well. don't think i'm a rambus boster. i hate that thieving company with an unholy passion. but p$ benchmarks comparing single channel rdram to dual channel rdram show the chip's performance significantly falling when its memory bandwidth is cut in two.
thanks anyway intel. i'll take a tbird+ddr. – by wish i knew

Top Ten Scams - Recognize and Avoid!
Top Ten Scams
The victim receives a phone call and the caller states that he is from Microsoft or an Internet service provider (ISP) and that there is a virus on the victim's computer, or there is a problem with the victim's computer and that he can fix the problem. The victim is asked to a log onto a website. The suspect then takes control of the victim's computer, causing the computer screen to go black, and charges the victim to make the computer work again. The victim provides credit card information and the suspect returns the victim's computer to an operational status.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- understand that no real company will call you regarding a computer virus or computer problem
- understand that this is a scam based in India
- understand that the phone number shown is fake
- simply hang up on the suspect without discussing the matter
- don't go on any websites, or download anything
- if scammed and you provided credit card information, contact your credit card company immediately and ask them to reverse the charges
A suspect sends out a mass mailing, a notice of lottery winnings, to thousands of people. The letter requests money in order for the recipient to receive the lottery winnings. Believing they have won a lottery prize, the victim sends money according to the directions in the letter. This scam targets the elderly – often via black market bait lists.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- understand no legitimate lottery asks for money to receive winnings
- understand you cannot win a lottery you have not entered
- don't send money to collect a lottery winning
- discuss this scam with the elderly, who are the target of this scam
The suspect buys an event ticket for a concert, sporting event, etc., with a stolen credit card number. He lists the real event tickets online. The victim responds to the ad, then meets with the suspect and pays cash for the authentic event tickets. The event organizer discovers the tickets were purchased with a stolen credit card number and cancels the tickets. When the victim attends the event, they are denied entry due to the ticket cancellation.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- purchase event tickets through established event ticket re-sale companies
- use a credit card to purchase tickets so he purchase can be cancelled later if the tickets are fraudulent
- if you must buy event tickets from private individual:
- tell the person you will be asking for photo identification
- meet in a public place
- bring a friend
- examine the event tickets
- ask for photo identification
- write down seller's personal information
- be ready to have the event tickets cancelled by the organizer
Type 1
Personal information about the victim is obtained through mail theft or from the victim's garbage. The victim receives a phone call from someone stating they are a family member, generally a grandson, and in distress in a foreign country. The caller tells the victim to keep the information confidential and to wire money. The victim wires the money, later discovering the family member was never in trouble.
Type 2
The suspect gains access to the victim's email or Facebook account and sends a distress email to all of the victim's email contacts. The e-mail states that the victim is in distress in a foreign country and to keep the information confidential. As in the first type, the victim is asked to wire money to the foreign country, later discovering their friend was never in trouble.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- protect personal written information
- use full security features on email accounts
- don't use simple passwords like "Password1234"
- if provided a distress message, call the person involved and/or their family
- understand that if you are asked to wire money and to keep it quiet, this is a scam
Victim finds a great deal for an advertised rental property. They interact with the suspect by email or meeting in coffee shops. They are asked for a damage deposit and rent in cash or to be wired to an account. The victim pays the suspect without ever seeing the rental property. When the victim goes to move in to the rental property, they discover that it is occupied and that the suspect never had the right to rent the property.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- attend and inspect all rental property
- ask potential landlord for photo identification
- check with the apartment manager regarding who can rent the property
- pay with post-dated cheques
- understand that if you are being pressured to pay cash for a rental property you have not seen, it is scam
- for non-resident property rental, use established rental companies
- use the Better Business Bureau to check out rental companies
The suspect answers an online advertisement for an item for sale. They meet with the seller and agree to purchase the item, paying with counterfeit currency. The victim does not know how to check for counterfeit money or is too embarrassed to examine the money. They discover it is counterfeit after the suspect has left with the purchased item.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- be aware that counterfeit suspects are looking for online electronic items for sale, such as iPhones, iPads, Xboxes, Playstation 3s, or Nintendo PlayStations
- meet in a public location with a friend
- know three security measures about currency and always use them
- if in doubt, return the money and walk away from the deal with your property
- learn how to Detect a Counterfeit Bill
Victim answers a job advertisement for a mystery shopper and is given the job. The suspect and the victim never meet face-to-face. The victim receives a cheque in the mail and is instructed to convert it into cash for the shopping. When the cheque is deposited into the victim's bank account, it initially clears, and they withdraw cash to purchase items from stores, believing they are a mystery shopper. At some point, the victim is requested to wire money to the suspect. After they have done so, the victim is told by their bank that the cheque did not clear at the destination bank. The victim must pay back their bank for the amount of the cheque provided by the suspect.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- understand that many mystery shopper jobs can be scams, check out any company with the Better Business Bureau
- understand that cheques can take as long as 4-6 weeks to clear at the destination bank based on the number coding, not the name on the cheque
- understand that whenever you are asked to wire money based on a cheque deposit, it is normally a scam
This type of scam is also known as the "419" scam after Section 419 of the Nigerian Penal Code that prohibits this activity in Nigeria or just the "Nigeria" scam. A suspect sends out thousands of e-mails or letters stating that a large sum of money can be moved out of a foreign country. The recipient is advised that they can get a large share of the money if they help the writer get the money out of the foreign country. The victim responds to the email and a relationship is built, leading up to the suspect asking the victim to wire money. Once the money is wired, the victim never hears from the suspect again.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- understand that all advanced fee requests are scams
- if you receive a letter in the mail or via fax, simply ignore it
- do not respond back to these emails or faxes – you will be targeted as part of a "suckers" list and fraudsters will share or sell your details to other fraudsters
- report emails to your email server (i.e. email@example.com, etc.) so your internet service provider can terminate any accounts that abuse their systems
The suspect emails thousands of fake bank security alerts, complete with bank logo and email address, asking for the recipient's personal bank information. When the victim opens an attachment, a virus is loaded onto their computer. The victim supplies personal bank information, which the suspect uses to access their bank account.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- use up-to-date anti-virus software
- understand that no bank will email you regarding security issues
- be aware that all bank alert e-mails are scams
- don't respond to any bank alert e-mail
- delete all bank alert e-mails
- report e-mails to your e-mail server (i.e. email@example.com, etc.) so your internet service provider can terminate any accounts that abuse their systems
#10 – CHARITY DOOR-TO-DOOR or HOME / FIRE INSPECTOR
Suspect walks door-to-door and speaks with residents, pretending to be a fire or building inspector or collecting for charity. The victim feels pressured and pays the suspect cash.
How to Avoid Being a Victim:
- understand that no inspector would be going door-to-door asking or money
- be aware that most charities no longer solicit door-to-door
- if in doubt, close and lock your door, and phone the organization the suspect reports they are with
- tell the suspect you are not interested and ask them to leave
- if you feel scared of the suspect call the police
- if you think the person is a scammer, call the police with that information after the person leaves
- if you want a home inspection, initiate once yourself – do not let any unknown person into your home that comes to your door without a prior appointment
- if you want to give money to a charity, reach out to the charity through their website or by phone
- do not respond to strangers at the door
- report suspicious door-to-door sales people to Consumer Protection BC at 1(888)564-9963 or http://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca

Vice President Juan Carlos Varela was elected president of Panama in May 2014, defeating a candidate selected by the party of outgoing president Ricardo Martinelli. Despite this change in leadership, there was little evidence of an immediate change in the conditions faced by the country's news media.
Legal Environment
Freedoms of speech and of the press are protected by the constitution, but the laws allow for the prosecution of journalists for vaguely defined offenses related to the exposure of private information, and prescribe severe penalties for leaking government information to the press.
Since 2008, imprisonment has been excluded as a punishment for libel and slander against high-ranking public officials, but they remain criminal offenses. Cases occur regularly and often take years to move through the legal system. In June 2014, five journalists and managers of the dailies La Estrella and El Siglo were found guilty of defamation and ordered to pay Lourdes Castillo, a board member of the Panama Canal Authority, thousands of dollars in compensation. Castillo claimed material damages and moral harm stemming from a series of 2011 reports in the two papers that alleged misconduct in the approval of a $1.2 million government contract with her private company. Those found guilty in the civil proceedings were set to face criminal charges as well, though an appeal was pending at year's end.
Despite the existence of transparency legislation, access to public information remains limited. Government officials sometimes refuse to release information, especially in cases involving corruption, and updates to official websites are often late, if undertaken at all. However, in 2014, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the newspaper La Prensa regarding several requests for information from government agencies.
Political Environment
The outgoing administration of President Martinelli was known for its hostility toward the press, and Varela campaigned on a platform of increased openness. As of late 2014, it remained to be seen whether the new president would grant journalists' greater access to official sources, interviews, and press conferences, though there were no reports of media intimidation by the government in the second half of the year. Martinelli retained his combative approach during his last weeks in office, blaming media bias for the electoral defeat of his chosen successor, José Domingo Arias.
Journalists in Panama remain fairly safe compared with colleagues in some neighboring countries. Despite the charged atmosphere of the election campaign in 2014, there were no documented instances of violence against journalists. However, some threats of violence were reported. In May, television journalist Castalia Pascual of TVN-2 reported receiving threatening phone calls, and public access to her station's website was disrupted by a series of cyberattacks that began in April. Another television journalist, Álvaro Alvarado, received a death threat via Twitter in November. He had reported on official corruption under the Martinelli administration and believed the threat to have come from the former president's associates, though this could not be confirmed.
Economic Environment
Panamanian media outlets are privately owned, with the exception of one state-owned television network and one radio station. There are at least five daily papers, around 100 radio stations, and several national television networks. Cross-ownership between print and broadcast media is prohibited. However, former president Martinelli is known to own several newspapers in Panama City, along with at least one television station. In June 2013, while still in office, Martinelli announced that he had bought six radio stations in the interior of the country, a clear indicator of consolidated ownership and potential partisan bias. The government has also been accused of distributing official advertising according to political criteria.
There are no government restrictions on access to the internet, which was used by 45 percent of the population in 2014.

Organizing an event is a fun job if you know how to go about it. There are several factors involved in planning an event successfully. In case it is an outdoor event, you will need to make sure that you get a pop up canopy or a frame tent all set up. This way, in case the weather takes a bad turn, none of your guests are affected. You can look for pop up canopies reviews online to find a suitable canopy or frame tent that meets your requirements. This post will help you decide whether to choose a pop up canopy or a frame tent.
One way of deciding between a pop up canopy or a frame tent is by considering how much time you will require to set it up. In case you are planning an event for only a day or for a weekend, a pop up tent will be the better choice. Pop Up canopies are designed for shorter events like wedding, parties, beach events and so on. However, frame tents are usually built a bit sturdier so that they can be used for longer events. This is why a frame tent is considerably pricier than the pop up canopy tent.
Since the pop up canopy is designed for short duration uses, it is designed to be assembled and taken apart easily. Pop up canopies hardly take more than ten minutes to be set up by anyone. On the other hand, frame tents require a bit more practice and skill. You will also require the help of one more person to set it properly Since the frame tent is more of a semi-permanent structure, it makes sense that it is more durable and uses a sturdier frame that needs to be set up properly for it function as per the manufacturer's intention.
While both canopy pop up tents and frame tents are made using aluminum poles, the ones for the latter are a bit more heavy duty since it is a semi-permanent structure. The tent fabric used in both the kind of tents is also similar. However, you can also find lightweight polyester fabric canopy tents in the market. Another important factor to consider while deciding between a canopy pop up tent and a frame tent is the amount of customization you can get done. Most shops that offer these kinds of tents are willing to customize your tents with your brand colors or logo to give it more flair. In case you are planning on using the canopy pop up tent or the frame tent regularly for similar events, it is a good idea to invest in getting customized tent fabric.
Many start up businesses benefit from investing in a frame tent or a canopy pop up tent. This is because it can be used to set up booths at different events, conferences, etc. to introduce their products or services to the general public. Rather than renting it, it is more cost effective to invest in a good quality tent in the long run.

Every business – large or small, single-site or multi-site demands some degree of Business Continuity. In the event of a natural disaster or calamitous event, Business Continuity solutions enables enterprises to automatically re-reroute calls to maintain telephone service to any location and any device, including landline phones, mobile devices, and PC-based softphones. Business Continuity provides access to communications services in any place, at any time as long as there is an Internet connection available. The service can provide simultaneous ringing and sequential ringing to multiple locations.
Destination Unreachable Voice Mail Option
The ultimate small business phone system backup plan! This feature gives you the ability to define one predetermined phone number for your business to receive incoming calls in the event that the central office can no longer communicate with the your phone system for any reason – power outage, service outage, etc
Take Destination Unreachable to another level. The Voice Mail Option enables you to record and play a system greeting to incoming callers when the Destination Unreachable feature is active and allows your callers to leave a message. The following options are available with the Voice Mail Option add-on:
1) Send the recorded message to one primary e-mail address with a .wav file attachment of the recorded message
2) Send a carbon copy of the e-mail message with a .wav file attachment to one additional e-mail address
3) Send a notification only of the new message (without the wave file attachment) to one e-mail address or one cellular phone number as a text message
4) Allow the incoming caller to dial "0" during the system greeting to be transferred to one predefined phone number
Destination Unreachable allows you to receive multiple calls simultaneously. Your callers will not experience a busy signal when the telephone network is experiencing an outage or your phone system is not working properly. With the Voice Mail Option you will have the benefit of an auto-attendant to ensure calls are answered with your businesses customer greeting and your callers have the ability to leave a message for you.

|Holiday Peanut Brittle - YUM!
Here's one of my favorite quick and easy holiday recipes, this one is fun to do with the children (and grown-ups, too!) and makes a great gift:
Peanut Brittle makes a wonderful Christmas treat or holiday gift. It is so easy to find fun containers, either old ones to re-use and recycle, or inexpensive new ones, for fun and easy gift packaging.
Stay with us at Oakland Cottage B&B or one of our Asheville Cabin Rentals or Asheville Vacation Rentals, when you Vacation In Asheville this holiday season. You might just find some home-made peanut brittle on the Welcome Table when you check in!
Holiday Peanut Brittle:
Cook Time: 15 minutes
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup (or less) of peanuts, pecans or walnuts
This is so easy you will never buy peanut brittle again! Melt the sugar in a skillet on medium heat, stirring constantly (if the heat is too high, the sugar will end up with a little bit of a burned flavor). As it melts, the sugar will become more and more crumbly. Keep stirring until all the "crumbles" are melted. Once the sugar has completely melted, stir in the butter and your choice of nuts. While hot, pour onto a greased cookie pan, 8X12 or larger (one with a rim, not a sheet), allowing the mixture to spread out over the sheet. Let cool. Break into pieces.

By Cameron Moon, Preservation Coordinator
After a slight delay, the newly milled window sashes have been installed in the basement. This week, Richard Marks Restorations, Inc. gave them a final coat of paint and left us with a significantly brighter basement. The main reason for installing these newly milled and glazed sash windows is to cast more natural light into the basement, allowing for more interpretation and education to take place there. The impetus for this project began in February 2013 when Patricia Smith, Curator of Historic Architectural Resources, and Joseph Mester, former Preservation Technician, conducted a rehabilitation of a window in the northwest room of the basement. The window had been covered by a batten shutter, which was removed. After observing how much natural light the rehabilitated window allowed into the northwest room, the preservation team considered removing all of the batten shutters and installing sash windows to achieve the same effect throughout the basement. This was explained in a previous blog post published in May 2014.
Like the window rehabilitated in February 2013, all of the window frames in the basement are constructed to accommodate a stationary upper sash and a vertical sliding lower sash. In keeping with the philosophy that Drayton Hall be preserved as it was received from the Drayton family in 1974, no significant changes have been made to those frames to reinstall window sashes and remove the batten shutters. If necessary, the shutters could be returned easily to the apertures without disrupting any historic fabric.
Once the preservation team decided to install sash windows throughout the basement, they turned to the Architectural Fragment Collection, which includes numerous window sashes they hoped to reuse in the existing window frames. Unfortunately, the sashes were not the correct size, so they contracted millworkers of Richard Marks Restorations to craft 36 light sashes to resemble the windows installed in the 1870s with ½" muntins. The new sashes are constructed in 19th century form to maintain continuity with the rest of the windows of the house.
While the new sashes are built in the 19th century fashion, they are clearly modern, not to be confused with the historic fabric of the frames and window stops. Some of the stops are well worn, while others are in good condition. Richard Marks Restorations left those historic stops in place, regardless of condition. The new stops on the interior frames clearly differ from the historic stops on the bottom.
The new window sashes make a dramatic difference in the visibility in the basement. With the increase of natural light we can remove out of place electric lamps, previously needed to provide more light. More interpretive programs can take place in the basement, as all of the rooms are bright enough for visitors to see what surrounds them. Additionally, the new sashes better prevent rain from entering the basement and damaging the interior floors and plaster. We are very pleased with the work Richard Marks Restorations has completed for us, and look forward to the possibilities our newly lit basement will bring.

This is an alternative to the traditional hot cross bun and is particularly delicious if you make your own candied peel. Because it has no preservatives like shop-bought baked goods, it is best eaten on the day it is made, but could be toasted after that. You can make this loaf in advance and freeze it, without the topping and just add the glaze and decoration once it has defrosted.
Candied Citrus Peel
2 lemons
2 oranges
300g sugar
500mls water
125g strong plain bread flour
125g soft plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
40g caster sugar
20g fresh yeast (or 2 x 7g sachets dried yeast)
100mls milk
2 free range egg yolks (+ 1 extra yolk to glaze the loaf)
30g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons candied peel, finely chopped
100g raisins or sultanas
100g icing sugar
Juice of ½ lemon

BOSTON — Ky Bowman scored 14 points, with eight rebounds and seven assists, and Boston College overcame the loss to injuries to three of its starters to beat Pittsburgh 66-57 on Tuesday night, sending the Panthers to their 21st straight road loss.
Jairus Hamilton added 11 points for the Eagles (12-11, 3-8 Atlantic Coast Conference). BC snapped its four-game losing streak.
Jared Wilson-Frame led Pittsburgh (12-13, 2-10) with 12 points and seven rebounds. It was the Panthers' eighth straight loss.
Neither team held more than a two-possession lead for musch of the second half until Jared Hamilton's 3-pointer from the right wing gave BC a 63-56 lead with 3:37 to play. He followed with a jumper from the right corner.
The matchup between two of the ACC's bottom teams got extremely sloppy at times, and had an interesting side note in the first half when there was a leak in roof that had two of BC's team managers wiping the floor with towels near the foul line in front of the Eagles' bench when play was at the other end and during stoppages.
It was played in front of just a few hundred fans with a major snowstorm blanketing the area. One person that did get through the snowy roads and made his way to the game was Celtics president Danny Ainge, who was seated courtside until halftime.
BC used a 13-0 run early in the opening half en route to a 36-32 edge at intermission.
Pittsburgh: The Panthers have three more shots to end their dismal road woes — Feb. 20 at Georgia Tech, March 2 at No. 4 Virginia and March 5 at Miami. They've now lost 18 consecutive league road games.
Boston College: There seem to be very few favorable matchups the rest of the way for the Eagles, especially if they're missing key players like they were for this game. Starters guard Wynston Tabbs and forward Nik Popovich, two of their two four scorers, were sidelined with an injury. Tabbs (13.9 points per game) missed his sixth straight with a left knee injury and Popovich (13.6) is in concussion protocol. Later, guard Jordan Chatman (also 13.9 points per) left twice and didn't return after the second time because of a cut left index finger. Starting forward Steffon Mitchell was sidelined for a stretch after getting poked in the eye.
A leaking roof has happened before at Conte Forum, which opened in 1988.
Like during a previous incident, someone in maintenance went up onto the roof to clear the snow from the spot.
BC's coaching staff wore ties, lapel pins and wrist bands — all of them green — for Coaching for Literacy, helping raise awareness about the issue of literacy in America and support for children struggling to read in Boston.
The program is partnering with 50 NCAA programs.
Pittsburgh: Hosts No. 22 Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon.
Boston College: Hosts Miami on Sunday evening.

When hiring an HVAC contractor, you want to be sure you go with a qualified professional. Your home's HVAC system represents a significant investment, and whether you are buying a new system or having your old one repaired, you want someone who will do the job right the first time.
So how do you find out if an HVAC contractor is qualified? There are several factors that you can look at:
- Do you know someone who has hired them in the past? You can check with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to see if they had a good experience and would recommend with their contractor.
- Can they provide testimonials or references? If you do not know anyone who has experience with a particular contractor or would like a bigger sample size, you can check to see if they have testimonials from satisfied customers or references that you can call.
- Do they have a good reputation with the Better Business Bureau and online review sites? You can widen the reference circle even wider by looking up reviews of the company on various review sites or checking to see if they have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
- Are they licensed, bonded and insured? An HVAC contractor should have the proper licensing and needs to be bonded and insured to ensure that any accidental damage to your property will be fully covered.
- Are they NATE-certified? NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence, and to earn NATE certification, an HVAC contractor must pass an exam demonstrating their knowledge and expertise in HVAC installation, maintenance and repair — and then keep current by taking continuing education classes or periodically being retested.
- Do they inspect your home and HVAC equipment and provide detailed written estimates? HVAC work is not one-size-fits-all. To minimize your energy bills and make certain all problems are taken care of, the contractor should provide a custom solution that best fits your home.
If you live in the San Diego area, you can get all this and more from your HVAC contractor by contacting the professionals at Sherlock Plumbing, Heating & Air.

With 30 bank failures already in the books for 2010 and more regulation on the way, is now the time for investors to be buying the financial stocks? David Ellison, portfolio manager at FBR, shared his sector insights.
"We saw the problems we had with not enough regulation, so a little regulation is in order," Ellison told CNBC. "This whole thing has been about three problems—liquidity, capital and credit—and I think we solved the liquidity problem."

Nice staff
My wife and I had a lovely stay (3 nights, end of April 2019) at Hotel Matina! Location is very convenient, we can walk to stores (supermarket, car rental, souvenirs shops), restaurants or the beach in just few minutes in this flat part of the island. The service was great, beyond our expectations: Jean Pierre was able to give us tips and awesome recommendations only locals know about. The breakfast was very yummy (large choice) and the bar right by the pool was very convenient. Will definitely come back!
Weather was amazing!!
I arranged for airport pick up and they were there. Very polite. When I got to the hotel they had to put me in the hotel across the street for my first night, since they where booked. So I had to stay there and check out at 11 but couldn't check in at Matina Hotel until 1:00. It was a lot of moving for a short stay. If they didn't have the room than they shouldn't of booked me a room for 2 nights
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
