Living Colour have been making music for the past 30 years and they are celebrating the occasion with a new album and tour to support the upcoming release. "Shade," the band's ninth studio album and the follow up to 2009's "The Chair in the Doorway," is expected for a fall release. The band are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on the LP. A tour for the album is expected to kick off September 18 at The Opera House in Toronto, Ontario. The shows will wrap up in Hanover, Maryland on December 7. They'll make their Chicago stop September 20 at Park West. Tickets are currently on sale. The full list of dates can be found below.
In a press release for the album, frontman Vernon Reid stated: "'Shade' is the sound of a band coming to terms with its shadows and light. From the blue pulpit of Robert Johnson to the mean red streets of Brooklyn to the golden lure of Hollywood, 'Shade' is the next chapter of a unique American journey."
Formed in 1984 by guitarist/Black Rock Coalition founder Vernon Reid, Living Colour gained notoriety for their hit single "Cult of Personality" from their 1988 studio debut "Vivid." The song went on the score the band a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990. They also won Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV VMAs. After the release of two more albums ("Time's Up" and "Stain") the group disbanded in 1995 after several disputes regarding their fourth album. In 2000, the band reformed and released "Collideoscope" in 2003.

New Nuclear
Nuclear power is re-emerging as a viable way to meet new demand for electricity with the added benefit of no air emissions—including no carbon dioxide. Southern Company, through its subsidiary Georgia Power, is pursuing the addition of new nuclear units to meet growing demand for electricity. The two new units under construction are at Plant Vogtle in Burke County, Georgia. Latest on new units »
Vogtle units 3 and 4 received certification from the Georgia Public Service Commission in March 2009, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the Construction and Operating Licenses (COL) for both units in February 2012.
In February 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy offered Georgia Power a conditional commitment for loan guarantees for the construction of the units. President Obama announced the commitment for the loan guarantees as a catalyst to accelerate the construction of new nuclear plants and other clean energy sources while adding jobs and aiding the economy. The loan was finalized in February 2014 as Energy Secretary Dr. Ernest Moniz announced that Georgia Power has secured approximately $3.46 billion in loan guarantees from the Department of Energy toward the construction of Plant Vogtle units 3 and 4. The nuclear loan guarantees are expected to provide Georgia Power customers approximately $225 million to $250 million of present-value benefits.
Along with Georgia Power's portion of the two 1,100-megawatt reactors, the remaining ownership is split among Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG Power) and Dalton Utilities. Georgia Power's share is currently projected at approximately $4.8 billion.
Light-water Westinghouse AP1000 technology was submitted for the new units. More than 30 new nuclear plants are under construction in 12 countries around the world—almost all using light-water reactor technology. The AP1000 has received design certification from the NRC. It's safe, more efficient and simpler than current models. More about the AP1000 »
Southern Nuclear, a subsidiary of Southern Company, will oversee the construction as well as operate the two new units for Georgia Power and the other owners. Southern Nuclear currently operates Plant Vogtle's two existing nuclear power units as well as Georgia Power's Plant Hatch nuclear facility near Baxley, Ga., and Alabama Power's Plant Farley nuclear facility near Dothan, Ala.

Ebola, in case you haven't been listening to the news, there is an ebola virus outbreak and it has been mainly concentrated in West Africa, and spreading. So far, the World Health Organization (WHO?) has announced that there could be more than 20,000 people infected by the time the disease is stopped.
What is Ebola? Ebola is an infectious disease that results in fever and severe internal bleeding. There aren't any medications effective in curing the virus, but hospital care could significantly increase survival rates. Ebola is highly contagious thorugh infected bodily fluids like sweat, blood and saliva, and remains infectious even after the victim has died.
Even as I'm writing this article, there has been news that five co-authors of the latest study on Ebola were killed by the virus before their research was published. This comes as a reminder of the huge risks undertaken by the people working to combat the disease's spread.
The study, published on Thursday, discovered that the virus has mutated many times during the outbreak in West Africa, making establishing a treatment that more difficult. Mbalu Fonnie, Alex Moigboi, Alice Kovoma, Mohamed Fullah and Sheik Umar Khan worked with lead researchers at Harvard University to examine the current outbreak.
In a report published by Science Magazine, scientists were able to use genomes from 78 patients and trace the outbreak back to East Africa, Sierra Leone to the funeral of a healer, which a pregnant Kenema Government Hospital Ebola patient and other women who were also infected at the time had attended.
Mr Sheik Umar Khan, a 39-year-old virologist who is personally credited with treating more than 100 Ebola victims, had been admitted to a treatment ward at the heart of the outbreak in Kailahun in July. Two months before his death, he had described the dangers of treating people with the disease. I remember reading this interview and thinking that what these doctors were doing deserved a medal for their outstanding efforts. He said "I am afraid for my life, I must say, because I cherish my life. Health workers are prone to the disease because we are the first port of call for somebody who is sickened by the disease. Even with the full protective clothing you put on, you are at risk." At the time of his diagnosis, it was not immediately clear how Dr. Khan became infected. While health workers are especially vulnerable to contracting the virus spread through bodily fluids such as saliva, sweat, blood and urine, Reuters reporters who visited Kenema in June heard the doctor was "always meticulous with protection, wearing overalls, mask, gloves and special footwear".
What is the experimental Ebola vaccine? According to the CDC, it's called ZMAPP and it's being developed by Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. as an experimental treatment. It has not yet been tested by humans for safety or effectiveness. The product is a combination of three different monoclonal antibodies that bind to the protein of the Ebola virus. At the moment, the manufacturer has stated that all of the available doses of the drug have been distributed. These were very few, and since the product is still in an experimental stage, it's too early to know whether the ZMapp is effective.
The National Institutes of Health have stated that they were not involved with procuring, transporting, approving or administering the experimental treatments. This experimental treatment was arranged privately by Samaritan's Purse, the private humanitarian organization, which employed one of the Americans who contracted the virus in Liberia. Samaritan's Purse contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who referred them to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH was able to provide the organization with the appropriate contacts at the private company developing this treatment.
According to The Hill, The National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirmed Thursday that it will start testing a vaccine candidate on humans next week for the first time ever. Several other Phase 1 clinical trials will follow this fall, including a potential safety study on healthy adults in Nigeria, officials said.
Despite the progress, the NIH said it could not predict when vaccines might be available to use against the current epidemic. "It's really impossible to predict when people will be able to have it to use," said Anthony S. Fauci, director of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "We will get data on safety and whether this [initial] vaccine induces the kind of immune response we hope to see ... by the end of this calendar year. Then, we have to look at what those results are." Fauci and NIH Director Francis Collins tamped down questions about whether a vaccine could make a difference on the ground in Africa this year. "The real solution is to implement public health measures" to contain the virus, Fauci said. The first three volunteers in the trial will receive the vaccine next week at an NIH facility in Bethesda, Md.
The announcement comes after significant pressure on U.S. officials to respond to the rising number of Ebola deaths with experimental vaccines and treatments. The NIH did not announce any human trials for Ebola drugs, saying those medications remain in the pre-clinical trial stage, despite some limited use in Americans who contracted the virus in West Africa. Fauci said officials must be cautious as they develop the Ebola vaccines and any potential treatments. "This is the first time the vaccine has been in a human," he said of the new trial.
"I have been fooled enough [in past trials] ... that you really can't predict what you might see. The worst thing in the world you could do is to let something widely out before you have tested safety. That would violate scientific and ethnical principles." The vaccine would ultimately take the form of one or two shots for people at high risk of contracting Ebola, such as healthcare workers. "This is not geared toward after someone gets infected," Fauci said. "It is purely, in our minds, a preventative vaccine to be given prior to infection.
Despite the many factors with this vaccine, we can only hope for the best. This is definitely a step in the right direction. There are certain other aspects about Ebola that I might write about in a later article, so keep your eyes out for it. In the meantime, I hope that all of you stay safe in your travels, make sure to have all your bases covered when it comes to healthy standards and remember to live life everyday as if it were your last, because there's only one sure thing in life, we're not promised a tomorrow.
To Your Health! Carol

The UCLA men's golf Blue Team travels to Bakersfield for the Cal State Bakersfield Spring Invitational, hosted by Seven Oaks Country Club, Feb. 26-27.
Last season UCLA placed fifth in this event, which was hampered by inclement weather.
Golfers representing the Bruins will be senior Chris Heintz, juniors Craig Leslie and Brandon Christianson, sophomore Lucas Lee and freshmen Charlie Harris and Jason Kang.
Heintz won the Cougar Invitational last week, firing a first round 67 en route to a 54-hole total of 216 (E). Lucas Lee tied for second place at 220 (+4) and Christianson tied for 10th at 228 (+12). Leslie tied for 13th, Harris tied for 14th and Kang tied for 22nd.
"Although we won the event, our scores need improvement," said Assistant Coach Derek Freeman. "We're motivated to improve based on last week's results."

OOOH! I think that my favorite is going to be the Letterpress one. I love how they are debossed (?). It's so beautiful, love it. Can't wait till they come out!ReplyDelete
croppinmommadesigns at wowway dot com
So, I can't just pick one. How about my top three? They would be Blossom Song, Bella Armoire and Letterpress. Not that I need any new cardstock but I always want it!ReplyDelete
OMG...you want me to pick just one?! I just have to tell you that every time you do a video, I take notes on the stacks! This time I wrote down 7 stacks that are must have and on the top of that list is the Boys stacks. I am expecting a little boy in May so those stacks will be in my hot little hand as soon as I see them! Plus I think the Blossom Song stack could be used for boy and girl scrapbooks too.ReplyDelete
I love them all especially the letterpress stack - but I have little ones at home so the baby stacks are my favorite!!!! Can't wait till March!!ReplyDelete
Love many but Lady Couture is my faveReplyDelete
Such a hard decision! I love the Lady Coutoure stack, but the new All About Boys is perfect for more pages for my 8 year old grandson.ReplyDelete

I LOVE the letterpress stack!! Can't wait until that is in the stores.ReplyDelete
Bella Armoire is my favorite!ReplyDelete
Loving the de-bossed look of the Letterpress stack! I have 2 little boys close in age to yours, so I'm thinking I'll have to get that All About Boys Stack, I'm sure I could use every single sheet in that one!ReplyDelete
PLAYTIME - hands down!!ReplyDelete
wow!! those are fantastic!! my favorites are playtime, glam girl and the baby boy stacks!!ReplyDelete
The debossed look of Letterpress is a neat idea, not so sue about all the color though. I'd have to say I love the classic look of the Nantucket stack.ReplyDelete
I'd love to see the duplicates of a patterned paper have the corner detail on the opposite side (mirror imaged? KWIM?) or without the medallion or detail. That way you could use both for facing two page layouts.
WOW!! I'm going to be broke forever!! My favorites are playtime, glam girl, baby boy, baby girl, all about boy, letterpress and the new glitter stack. I still have a few more stacks that I was looking at from the last release! I can't keep up!! ;pReplyDelete

It's a tough choice but I'd have to choose The Playtime Stack since I love kraft cs. Can't wait till they are available at M's. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete

OMGosh loving the new stacks the baby boy and baby girl are way cute and I know my daughter who is 10 would love the glam gal... is that what it's called with the peace signs and butterfly's I hope I'm confused I loved them all! :)ReplyDelete
Erin! I love them all, why do you make me do this and pick my favorite?!?!?! If I got one for free I'd choose....oh man this is hard...the black and white one! I don't have anything like it right now :) Thanks for sharing with us!ReplyDelete
Yours TruLee
Ann Marie
Bella Armoire rules! Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
It's impossible to pick one. You guys knock it out of the ball park everytime. I love the Playtime with the craft paper the very best I think. But I also love the Glam Gal and All about Boys. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the sneaks,
Great job on the new stacks. I have to say I would like the Lady Couture stack. I spent part of today going through all my paper looking for a simple red & white polka dot. No luck! I looked in A.C. Moore yesterday and did not find it either. Want to be prepared for the next time. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot comReplyDelete
Oh man, they are all so awesome. I think if I HAD to choose just one I would pick Playtime, oh wait maybe Glam Girl, no wait Black and White...how can a girl choose just one. I hope Michaels or JoAnns has them on sale right away so I can pick up several. They are all amazing!!! TFSReplyDelete

Blossom Song is beautiful. Must have!ReplyDelete
I think I have to choose Lady Couture! Although Letterpress and Playtime come in a close second! These are all gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I love the Playtime stack...nice, soft look to the colors on the kraft.ReplyDelete
Very hard decision! Blossom Song is my favorite with Nantucket and Letterpress as runner ups!ReplyDelete
my absolute favorites are all re-designs:ReplyDelete
Baby Boy, Baby Girl, and All About Boys. Best re-designs EVER!!
Of the new designs, I like Blossom Song, Playtime and Letterpress.
Oh wow, I love, love, love the Letterpress Stack! Ah-mazing! DCWV never ceases to please me! Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Really interested in the letterpress stack. Something new and different to play with.ReplyDelete
Wow, my computer froze at the end of the first video...but playtime is a must. I love Bella Armoire and thinking that the Mademsoielle has some possibilities too.ReplyDelete

I love all the new stacks but I think the Playtime is my favoite, LOVE the kraft paper! Thanks for the preview.ReplyDelete
mcclusks at bellsouth dot net
So much fun and possibilities with the new line of paper stacks!!!!! Hard to pick but Lady Couture is my quick pick favorite !!! Good luck to all:)ReplyDelete
I am having a hard time picking a favorite!!! I really like Bella Armoire and Letterpress. Right now I am scrapping our Wedding pictures and the classic black and white is just very easy to jazz up with our other wedding color: green. And there are so many choices within that stack!!! The letter press I love because of the texture you mentioned. I love texture and think it would add an interesting element! But if i have to pick ONE then i would choose the Bella Armoire! Thanks for sharing with us!ReplyDelete
I love Playtime. I love like glam girl, letterpress and blossom song. LOVE your previews.ReplyDelete
I don't know how to pick just one! :) I will have to say The Baby Girl stack. I have SO many baby pics of my two little girls, that are still waiting to be scrapbooked. This would be perfect. I have to say though, as we were watching your videos on all of the new stacks, my oldest daughter came running as soon as she heard you say 'dinosaur paper!' She loves dinosaurs and scrapbooking too! :)ReplyDelete
Tina MReplyDelete
In love with the Glam Gal, and really liking the Letter Press stack also. They are all wonderful. Thank you for the chances.
All of them look great! My favorite is the Nantucket Stack. I have this obsession with anchors... Love them all though!ReplyDelete
I love your stacks. My favorite one was the Letterpress stack. Thanks for the previews.ReplyDelete

oh my goodness!! I have many favorites!!! I can see myself using quite a few of those stacks....The glitter stack will be my first one to get :-) (that is if I only buy one when they arrive at Michaels) ;-)ReplyDelete
I love all the stacks, but I'm most excited to play with the Letter Press stack and the Playtime stack. They are both different and fun!ReplyDelete
Loving the Glitter stack!ReplyDelete

Lots of lovely papers, but my favorite stack has got to be the Bella Armoire, followed closely by the Letterpress stack. I love the classic black of Bella and the graphic feel of the Letterpress.ReplyDelete
The Glitter Stack is awesome - not only because the paper is glittery, but also because the patterns are just COOL.ReplyDelete
And then the Playtime stack rocks too - love me some kraft!
Thanks for showing these off. Really makes me want to go craft!
Wow! I can see that I'm going to have to up my crafting budget! Love all the new stacks, but if I had to pick just one, I'd pick Lady Couture. Beautiful papers! I can't wait until I see them in my store! Thanks!ReplyDelete
All the stacks are fabulous but my fav are Bella Armoire and Letter Press. I do like the Playtime stack too. I must also say I love the 3 new Glitter cardstock packs that are now in Michael's. I bought 2 of them already.ReplyDelete

Bella Armoire is magnificent!! SO classy!!!ReplyDelete
Wow... what an awesome new collection! Where to start?? I am loving the Bella Amoire, Nantucket, Baby Boy, and Baby Girl stacks. But I'd have to say my favorite is the updated Glitter Stack.

Thanks for the sneak peek!
Wow they are all gorgeous. My favourite is the Little Boy stack. I love the blue, green and brown for little boy pages :)ReplyDelete

Soooooo hard to pick just one! I think I love the Lady Couture best!ReplyDelete
AprilsL8 at windstream dot net
I have 5 daughters and could really put the Glam Gal stack to good use !!! LUV IT !!!ReplyDelete
Ohhh it has to be the stack made from craft cardstock. Definitely different, liking the muted colors. Would love to see heritage papers made on the craft cardstock, what a great vintage look that would make.ReplyDelete
My favorite is The Glitter Stack. I have one of the others and this new one is great as well.ReplyDelete
smsparkin [at] hotmail [dot] com

To give in to my selfish side, I have to say the Bella Armoire and the Lady Couture stacks are absolutely my favorites! I can envision hundreds of cards that would come out of them. But, I have a grandson and the Playtime stack would be used for my scrapbooking...what a decision to make!! Love them all! Any one of them would be a real treat!ReplyDelete
Can I pick 4 favorites? Okay, I love the Nantucket Stack because I love red and blue! They all look great though, I'd love to win any one of them!ReplyDelete

Alex Orlovsky, a Purchase faculty member for five years, and Jamie Patricof, and Lynette Howell produced this bittersweet film starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams who were nominated for Golden Globe Awards. The film was recently released nationally by the Weinstein Company.
In addition to Blue Valentine, Alex Orlovsky produced the indie favorite Half Nelson with Ryan Gosling, and three other films that have been selected for the Sundance Festival.
In Blue Valentine Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling play characters who are mismatched from the start—told through flashbacks, the film is a study in the many ways two people can make each other unhappy. From their sweetly tantalizing flirtation years ago, it becomes clear this marriage couldn't have worked and shouldn't have been attempted. Kyle Smith of the New York Post calls it a "Bittersweet Symphony." A O. Scott of the New York Times comments that the film skirts the thin line between love and hate.

Breia Brissey of Entertainment Weekly's Shelf Life shared her exclusive Q and A with Mortal Instruments author Cassandra Clare plus an excerpt of the highly anticipated "City of Heavenly Fire." In the interview Clare talks about the cover, which was revealed recently via "The Insider" and even mentions how the artwork hold clues to the story to come.
"...there's a play of light and dark going on on the cover, and that sets up a big battle between good and evil with Clary standing for good and Sebastian standing for evil. There's also little clues for the readers who have been reading the series a long time in the weapons that they're holding, in the necklace that Clary is wearing, and especially in the landscape that they're standing on. It gives a hint about what's coming and what's going to happen in the book."
Were you wishing for a different character duo to appear on the cover? You still may be in luck!
"If you take the jacket off, the whole image wraps around to an interior image that shows all of the rest of the other characters. They've never gotten their own covers, so this is a chance to see them for the last time."
Clare also spoke for the first time about a secret TV project she's working on.
"One of the things I'm super excited about is a TV project. I can't say that much about it because it's super secret. But it's been really fun, and I'm really excited. Sorry I can't say more."
Keeping to her secret, we don't know if this TV project is directly involved with the Shadowhunter universe but which stories from Clare's world would you love to see on television?
Clare also spoke about her next book projects including the first "The Iron Trial" co-written with Holly Black due out in September and "The Dark Artifices."
Catch the entire interview over at Entertainment Weekly's Shelf Life. Also be sure to read an excerpt from "City of Heavenly Fire." The sure-to-be epic conclusion to The Mortal Instruments comes out this May. Preorder your copy today!

Emily? Oh, she walks on the wild side, this one: "Hi there! I'm looking for a leopard-print bootie - 3 to 4 inch heel, fairly classic in shape. These would be ideal, but they don't come in my size and are a little pricey at $200. I'd be willing to go up to $200 for the perfect bootie, but would prefer to keep it in the $100-$150 range. I wear a size 8.5. Thanks so much for your help! Emily"
Janetor here, Emily - wow, this was a hard one to spot! (Heh. Sorry.) There aren't that many leopard-print boots out there, much less ankle boots in the price range you're looking for: Tons of Louboutins & Jimmy Choos, though! Here are the five closest matches I could find. Hopefully, one will be just right!
1 - Aerosoles Patrole Car Ankle Boots ($99)
2 - Annie Shoes Women's Betina Bootie ($50)
3 - Qupid Nelson 03 Animal Print Bootie ($23)
4 - Animal Kitten Chelsea Boots ($160)
5 - Bumper Women's Lexus 01A Ankle Boot ($40)

October 2014
great trip
September 2013
Excellent guide and tour
October 2012
Punctual pickup; Clean car; knowledgeable tour guide;
October 2012
Was great to see the sword of David.
July 2012
December 2013
Our guide was very knowledgable and really friendly. So glad we took this tour because it went to some places we hadn't expected or thought of going to. We also got an insight into some places to visit on our next trip to Istanbul. Would highly recommend it.
October 2012
The actual trip to the Dolmabache palace, harem and over to the Asian side, Camlica hill was very interesting and the palace was certainly filled with "baccarat cystal" at every turn. Unfortunately our guide did not appear to be that interested in telling us "tidbits" of info about what we were seeing and did not seem to be aware that we had people in our party who could not race along and climb stairs easily. He only spoke to those at the front of the group. So while I recommend the tour, I would suggest ensuring your guide is suited to your group and your group's "thirst" for knowledge of what you are seeing.
June 2012
Informative tourguide. Would love to recomend someone else who is willing to pay a visit.
Should have made it longer thou, asian part doesnt have sufficient time.

We're going to stop the madness for a minute and revisit what might have been the Golden Age of Fly Fishing in Dunsmuir – those heady days when you could walk into Dunsmuir's Gandy Dancer Cafe and buy one of the world's alltime great cinnamon rolls, or hammer one of their deluxe lunch wraps before heading out for the evening hatch.
Upper Sac regulars will be happy to learn Cindy Martel – the chef behind the Gandy Dancer's radiantly perfect baked goods – just opened a new restaurant in Dunsmuir (The Wild Thyme), and in a clear sign from the gods, it's located right next door to the Ted Fay Fly Shop.
Yes, Undergrounders, it appears Dunsmuir's perfected the food & tippet stop.
Hmmmm, Cuban Steak Sandwich. Show of hands: Who's hungry?
While my taste in Dunsmuir restaurants runs largely to Burger Barn, the Wild Thyme's menu sorely tempts the Underground's taste buds.
The much-mourned Cinnamon rolls haven't yet made a comeback ("soon" says Martel) and the menu's in a state of flux (it's only Day 2). Still, open from 7am to 3pm, they serve breakfast all day, and as god is my witness, I will have the Cuban Hash or coconut pancakes.
I wolfed down a Cuban Steak sandwich for lunch, and Gandy Dancer regulars will no doubt remember the much-loved Jerked Chicken sandwiches and wraps.
So when in Dunsmuir, your to-do list is now composed entirely of these three things: Fish. Sleep. Eat.
The Upper Sac Loses A Good One
Vince Cloward of the Upper Sacramento River Exchange is well known around fly fishing circles for all the work he's done for the river, and it's with a little sadness that we report he's taken a job in Colorado Springs.
Vince was cool, and he was also a tireless worker on behalf of the river, and he'll be missed.
See you in Dunsmuir, Tom Chandler.

I'm not quite sure what the sound is, but it has only started happening in the last two days. The only way I can describe it would be that it sounds like a wooden xylophone being tapped lightly. It will play at random intervals ranging between 1 second to a couple minutes for up to a half hour (from what I have noticed) after startup. If anybody has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it I would appreciate it.

text: Jan 18, 2014 22:24 Insurer extends first payment deadline Insurer extends first payment deadline Advocate staff report Jan. 10, 2014; 3:43 p.m. Comments Louisiana Health Cooperative Inc. is giving people who signed up for coverage through the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace until Jan. 31 to pay their first month's premium. The non-profit health insurance company had given people who bought coverage by Dec. 24 through HealthCare.gov until Jan. 10 to pay the premium and still have coverage as of Jan. 1. But the company announced Friday that as long as members pay their premium by the last day of January, the company will retroactively cover their care. Louisiana Health Cooperative said it is the only health insurer in Louisiana to extend the payment deadline until Jan. 31. Vantage Health Plan had previously announced that eligible HealthCare.gov enrollees had until Jan. 15 to pay their January premium. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana said it had extended the deadline until Jan. 10. Payment's after that cover the February premium. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Now you are thinking, "How can I tone all those muscles groups at the same time?" Well, the Snatch exercise is your answer. If you are pressed for time, then try it out and you will also get faster results to improve other exercises as well! Brought to you by Andy Berman, trainer and co-owner of Fitness Factory in Westport, CT, this exercise is going to pump up your heart rate as well.
What you'll need: either a 10, 12 or 15 pound dumbbell or kettle bell. Choose according to your strength level.
- Start with your feet spread wider than shoulder width apart, weight in right hand resting between your legs.
- Squat down so your thighs are parallel to the floor.
- As you start to stand up, shrug the weight up through your shoulder. This means to lead with it: shrug your shoulder first, pull your elbow next, and as you get to the top pull your hand all the way up. Once you've mastered this move, snatch it at the top - snap from your elbow to finish the move faster.
- Lower arm back down to squat position to complete one rep.
- Repeat steps two through four 15 times, and then switch sides.
- Complete 3 sets.
Why this works
When you pull your arm up to the top and snap it tight, this engages your shoulder, back and abdominals to give you a stronger core; this will also help with your pull up strength. Your legs are also being toned in a wide-leg squat, which is not as common a practice as the traditional squat.
This new exercise will challenge your muscles in a new way, and keep you from reaching the exercise plateau.

Hey guys. Long time, no blog -- I know. But just wanted to get a shout out to Tip'd - Financial News, which just launched version 1.0 of their website today. Tip'd is a social media site, similar to Digg and Reddit, but focused more on business and finance. Not a whole lot of inventory management tips on there yet, but everything business and entrepreneurship related. They also have some good looking financial and investment news up there.
As I cover in many of my posts, the number one problem I experience with inventory management is "what difference does it make if I have too much inventory, I'm going to sell it eventually anyway, right?"
Typically, this question comes into play in terms of over ordering stock that really does sell, but not fast enough to warrant such large orders. Many posts on this site cover this the issue of how much to order and the true cost of carrying excess stock.
Another problem I haven't really addressed is what happens when inventory sells so slowly and costs so much to carry that it's not only not worth it to order more, but it's actually worth it to destroy that which you do have.
I recently came across this example while studying the inventory at a book publisher that noticed they were spending thousands a month on excess inventory charges. While my example uses the book industry, these principles can be applied to other goods.
The typical storage cost per book is generally right round a penny per year. While this doesn't seem like much, it adds up pretty quickly to $5000/mo when you have 500,000 books in stock.
The question quickly becomes, is the $5000/month worth it to store all the goods. In order to adequately determine this, what needs to be examined is the lifetime cost of storing the goods until they're sold and comparing this to how much it costs to store relative to destroying and then reproducing.
Start with the monthly sales/inventory. This will help you to get a feel for how fast the book is selling. Once this is determined, you can determine how long until the book will sell out.
The next thing to look at is the cost of the book. This will help determine how how long you should keep the book.
Once you have this information, here is how you can apply it:
Taking the monthly sales to inventory ratio, you can determine how long it will take to sell the book out completely. Let's assume we discover that based on historical evidence, we believe the title will sell out in 6 months. This means that if sales remain steady, it will cost an a maximum of six cents (a penny per month) for storage. Assuming the cost of the book is roughly $1, you're better off storing the books than destroying now and reprinting later.
This is a fairly typical example of a good that is still selling well and certainly shouldn't be destroyed.
But let's take a look at an example that should be destroyed.
The monthly sales to inventory ratio shows that it will take 400 months to sell the remaining 8,000 copies of a certain title that is sitting in the warehouse (assuming it ever sells). While this sounds excessive, I can assure you, I've seen it.
At 400 months, it will cost the last of those books that is sold $4 in storage over the next 400 months. Assuming the cost to print the book is $1, a $3 loss is incurred by storing the book as opposed to printing again in the future. At $1 to reprint, the recommendation for this title would be to keep 100 months of inventory. 100 is chosen because this is the point at which it becomes no longer worth it to store rather than to reprint.
That is, you should keep the amount of inventory that is cheaper to store than to reproduce.
While this model is very simple, it serves as a useful starting point for determining how much inventory to hold. There truly is a point at which destroying now and reproducing later becomes a worthwhile investment. However, the goal is to avoid this altogether. To properly order in the first place and to not hold excess inventory is a much more desirable achievement.
This should serve as a starting point, although there are certainly other things to look at, including the funds that can be acquired through remaindering goods, and the likelihood that sales will increase, rather than remain steady or decrease.
Normally, I just delete spam comments and continue on with my day, but this one, although merely an attempt to put a link from inventory management was at least related to the subject at hand. So I thought, what the hell, I'll write an article about it.
The comment I'm referring to is in response to my most recent article and reads as follows:
The above formula applies only for the reorder point - order quantity system. The mathematical problem is to find the correct reorder point for a discrete time axis and often non-normal and dynamic demand. Many textbook formulas are wrong. See the new textbook [link deleted]
Although it's spam, it raises an interesting point; are the formulas on this page the most reliable?
In short, not always, but by and large, yes.
The comment aptly points out that there are, for certain inventory issues, better formulas than what is layed out on this site. One of my articles details the implementation of the more optimal models. The problem is that these models are often more trouble that they're worth.
In other words, it's not always worth it to spend one millions dollars in order to save half a million dollars.
What this site offers are inventory management tactics that should be a starting point. Ideas to think about and in many cases, very worthwhile formulas capable of acheiving serious savings for your firm.
In other cases, more robust formulas and algorythms can and possible should be applied. My honest advice if this advice applies to you is to hire a consultant if you do not already have the infrastructure to achieve better than average models.
And, if you're right on the edge of needing a consultant and doing well without one, my advice is to check out your industry competition and see how your inventory turns stack up to your rivals. If you're doing well, then good, if not, maybe it's time to improve. Look forward to more on checking out the competition.
Quick little not on a comment I received on my post on Safety Stock.
Reader, Anish, said:
How could we calculate the safety stock exactly? The available equation
safety stock =reorder point -lead time demand
Well, what Anish did here was rearrange the SS formula and pointed out a way to figure out safety stock if you know re-order point and lead time demand.
This may be useful if you know your re-order point, and know your average demand but never calculated what your ROP should be and just want to see how much safety stock you hold. By the way, I used the word average demand, which Anish did not.
Remember, if you know your actual demand, you don't need safety stock. Chances are, you know you have a decent idea of what your average demand is, and with the knowledge of the standard deviation of that average, you can determine safety stock...which is the second term in the ROP formula, which my article on safety stock covers.
Good question by Anish, and yes, that is a way to determine what the safety stock you've been using is, not what it SHOULD be.
Not so recently - sorry for the delay! - I received the following question in response to one of my articles:
We have over 2000 parts in inventory. Rather than calculcating the EOQ with the formula, which I do not have time to do, I want to use the "rough estimate." What are the factors that go into the material's "actual value per year?
Dave brings up an interesting point - What to do when there are so many SKUs?
So many parts, so little time, eh Dave? EOQ 2000 times in a row...blah! I mean seriously, is it even worth the effort?
Is it worth the effort?
This is the question you need to ask yourself. Unfortunately, finding the answer to this question may be harder than just doing the damn work, so now what are you supposed to do?
To answer this, I have 3 suggested solutions:
1. Maybe it is worth it.
Possibly, there are enough savings that can be found in reducing holding costs for each individual part that performing EOQ calculations for each part is actually worth the trouble. I mean, on a case by case basis, you'll probably become quite good at evaluating the holding costs and from there, it's a simple matter of plugging the variables into the equation. The result could be cost savings of 10% per year. Maybe it is worth it to repeat 1999 times.
Maybe not. Also, if it worth those savings, maybe buying a software package or hiring a consultant is a better option.
2. Rough estimate may be more your style.
Chances are, holding costs are similar for certain types of products. My suggestion (if you really want to cut corners) is to group products that your gut feeling tells you have similar holding costs properties and similar ordering costs. Hopefully, they even have similar in demand. Build an Excel spreadsheet and make the program do most of the work for you.
But...rough estimates are a waste of time if you ask me. Either it's worth it to get a decent idea of what EOQ should be or it's not worth it. Currently I'm in a situation where it's not worth it...lucky me.
As for what factors go into a material's actual value per year, it varies. Luckily I wrote a whole article on what goes into holding costs.
3. Pay someone to do it.
Like I said earlier, get a software suite and a consultant to implement it. If you have 2000 products, you're probably big enough to warrant the help.
Similar to what you're doing now (although reading this is a much smaller scale compared to what's out there for purchase), stand on the shoulders of giants and buy your way into the vast quantities of inventory management resources and gurus.

Both the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys addressed needs on Tuesday. According to multiple reports, the Patriots have traded cornerback Justin Green to the Cowboys in exchange for defensive tack Ben Bass. The trade is a move that will add some needed depth for both teams.
The Patriots currently received good news as first-round draft pick Dominique Easley has returned to practice, but with Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly returning from season-ending injuries, the team is still in search of more depth, especially with the current injury to defensive lineman Chris Jones and the sudden retirement of Armond Armstead.
The 24-year-old Bass is a product of Texas A&M. At 6-foot-5, 294 pounds, Bass does add size but doesn't add much experience. He has only appeared in two NFL regular season games, both in 2012. Bass was an undrafted free agent and only recorded one tackle in those two games with the Cowboys. It would appear that he will have to beat out players like Sealver Siliga, Joe Vellano and Marcus Forston for a roster spot.
Green would fill more of a purpose for Dallas. Following the suspension of cornerback Orlando Scandrick, the Cowboys needed a little more depth at the cornerback position. The 23-year-old Green is entering his second season in the NFL. A undrafted free agent out of Illinois, Green played two games with the Patriots. Though most of his playing time has come on special teams, he has shown an ability to make plays on defense. Green will give the Cowboys more options and can help out on special teams.
Green was listed as the third-string left cornerback on the Patriots latest depth chart. The team suddenly finds itself deep at the position, which is why Green was expendable. The Patriots currently have Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Alfonso Dennard, Kyle Arrington, Logan Ryan as their primary cornerbacks with Jemea Thomas, Travis Hawkins and preseason star Malcolm Butler competing for roster spots.

Having a greener home is not only better for the environment, but it can save your household a lot of money on energy, water, construction, and even groceries. Finding the initial starting money for a greener home, however, can be tricky. Taking out a second mortgage is expensive, and may not give you the flexibility to make improvements in small steps. Fortunately, there are several ways to finance greener construction.
EPA Funding
The EPA has several programs designed to help individual homeowners improve the "greenness" of their homes. There are thousands of available grants, loan programs, and tax credits that this agency offers to individual home owners as well as to developers who are willing to incorporate some environmental improvements into their designs. Awards are given for things such as incorporating geothermal heat, installing a recycled water system, and installing solar panels. Opportunities vary by area and other factors, so visit their website to determine which grants, tax credits, or loans you are eligible for.
Energy Efficient Mortgages
An Energy Efficient Mortgage or EEM is a type of mortgage that gives a buyer extra purchasing power by calculating in the savings the homeowner will gain through energy efficiency. EEMs can give borrowers the chance to get financing for cost-effective, energy-saving improvements. By factoring in the reduced energy costs, a household is able to stretch their debt-to-income qualifying ratio on a mortgage. This allows borrowers to qualify for a larger mortgage and a more energy-efficient home.
In order to qualify for an EEM, a borrower usually has to have a home energy rater from Energy Star conduct a home energy rating on the property he or she is hoping to purchase or refinance before the mortgage is approved. While these mortgages are usually used to purchase previously certified Energy Star certified homes, they can be used to purchase or refinance any property. These mortgages are offered through VA programs, FHA programs, and many conventional lenders.
It is also possible to finance an energy-efficient home on your own. Taking out a conventional home equity line of credit will allow a homeowner to improve the energy efficiency of his or her loan in small stages. These loans function in a manner similar to a credit card in that a homeowner can choose how much to borrow of the total line of credit that he or she is offered. This means that a homeowner can withdraw come money, make improvements, and then pay off some of the loan before planning their next project. This method is ideal for people who want to improve their existing home rather than move.
Traditional Construction Loan
This type of loan is offered to people who are building a new home. The loan is typically given out in sections as each phase of work on a new house is completed. Once construction is complete, the loan reverts to a traditional mortgage. By using a construction loan, it is possible to completely control the "green" features that are built into a home, and customize these features to the individuals who are living in the house. These loans can be combined with the Energy Star mortgages that were previously mentioned once construction is complete and the house is Energy Star certified.

Cellist Mischa Maisky hasn't played in Toronto since 1978.
"I was in Montreal last year, but this is the first invitation to Toronto I've received in over 30 years!" says Maisky over the phone from Boston, while on his current North American tour.
The invitation is long overdue, and on May 3 Maisky, who currently lives in Belgium, returns to perform at Roy Thomson Hall with the Moscow Soloists Chamber Orchestra under Yuri Bashmet. He'll be playing Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 and Tchaikovsky's Nocturne.
If you're not familiar with Maisky's playing, try joining the more than 10 million viewers who have watched this YouTube video and heard Maisky play the Prelude of J.S. Bach's Cello Suite in G major.
Maisky has recorded the complete Bach Suites on three different recordings, along with over 40 other CDs for Deutsche Grammophon.
Musical genius shaped by cruel twist of fate in communist Russia
When it comes to music, Maisky's a sculptor in Michelangelo's league; he chisels lines of breathtaking beauty and detail with penetrating insight. Maisky has the ability to make you feel as though you're hearing a familiar piece for the first time.
It could be that Maisky's extraordinary background has shaped his musical genius. At first glance, the cellist's bio reads like an Ian Fleming-esque, high-octane piece of fiction set in the days of the Cold War.
Born in Latvia in 1948, Maisky moved at the age of 18 to Moscow, where he became a student of Mstislav Rostropovich at the Moscow Conservatory.
Communist authorities earmarked Maisky as a troublemaker and, after Maisky attempted to buy a tape recorder on the black market, his life took an abrupt turn. He was sent to a Soviet labour camp for 18 months where he shoveled cement and had no access to a cello. His incarceration was followed by a two-month stint in a mental hospital. On his release, Maisky left Russia and didn't return until the 1990s.
He was denied the chance to complete his diploma at the Moscow Conservatory but, reflecting on the painful experiences of his past in communist Russia, Maisky sees a silver lining.
"The most important thing that one should always remember and cultivate is the fact that one can and should try to see how full – not how empty – life is," he says. "Despite difficult experiences I went through, I not only don't regret it, but, in a way, I'm very grateful for having had this kind of experience of spending 18 months in jail and labour camps and two months in a mental hospital. Even though I was denied my diploma, I got a much more complete life education."
Maisky draws on past to spotlight human rights abuses
Past experiences are lessons that motivate Maisky today. As recently as last year, he co-coordinated high profile musical events as a means to draw attention to human rights abuses in Russia.
It's a story of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. I didn't find it surprising when Maisky said that, 15 years ago, there was a movie made in Europe about his life.
"They're talking about doing something again next year in connection with my 65th birthday," he adds. "In reality I'm only 39. I've found a convenient way of staying young. I calculate my age from the day I arrived in the West and started my new life. The 7th of November, 1972 was my second birthday."
Time is precious to Maisky who plays the cello as though, at any moment, it might be snatched away again. He lives each note as though it could be his last.
"I feel that if you want to reach people's hearts, you have to open your own heart. It has to come from your heart," Maisky says. "It's not enough to come from your instrument, your hands, or your mind. It has to originate from your heart. Whatever you do in life. Whether it's playing the cello, writing for a newspaper, cooking in a restaurant, or whatever, if you do it with love, that's what makes the difference in the end."

What a moving story. I always admired his playing without knowing anything about his background.
Maisky's recording of Bach's Cello Suites accompanied me through every single late-night essay session during my undergrad. They are treasures.
Wish I could be in Toronto on Thursday!
Hi Michael. Thought you'd be interested. When I spoke to Maisky the other day he said:
"I think calling Bach a baroque composer is an insult to Bach. Because he was much, much more than that. Listen to the 25th Variation of the Goldberg Variations. If you call that baroque music then I can be called a Japanese emperor! When people ask me if I play modern music, I always say 'of course. I play Bach.' It sounds as modern today as it was 300 years ago or will be 300 years from now."
I looked into flights to Toronto for the concert, but couldn't swing it this time!
