Delena Fish of the Department of Workforce Services was at the recent Emery County Commission meeting to give her quarterly report. She stated that DWS is at the end of their fiscal year and they are in the middle of gathering information with surveys. These surveys give an overview of how the department is accomplishing the goals set forth at the beginning of the year. From the preliminary survey results, the department's performance rate is excellent, all departments are at or near 100 percent in meeting the goals set down by the state.
"The number of people entering new jobs, and the retaining those jobs is on the increase. We are also receiving a good number of job orders from businesses. The DWS staff has worked extremely hard to keep the percentages up. We have made great strides in meeting the goals, and we are just barely beginning to recover from the Trail Mountain Mine layoffs. Those workers are obtaining jobs with similar pay scales," said Fish.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud stated that the record of this regional office is one of the best in the state. Commissioner Ira Hatch commented on the nice facility that the DWS has in Castle Dale. The building has meeting accommodations for groups to use.
Fish informed the commissioners that changes are coming to the youth program. They will be doing some work on the Heritage garden and the Heritage House. The DWS may require some assistance from the commission to provide worksites for the participants.
"The job market is improving in Emery County. Overall, there is more employment. The need for truck drivers is extreme. We cannot seem to get them trained fast enough," said Fish.
Deb Dull, from Utah Power also gave her quarterly report. She said, "On May 24, Scottish Power sold PacifiCorp to Mid-American Energy Holdings Company. We are seeking the necessary approvals from the regulatory commissions in six western states, and expect that to be complete in 2006. Mid-American plans to leave PacifiCorp as a stand alone business, with few changes and minimal impact on the employees. Mid-American is experienced in the energy field and is very environmentally responsible. They have numerous other energy holdings and serve more that 5.1 million customers.
"The leadership of PacifiCorp will remain the same with Judy Johansen, CEO, in Portland, and Rich Walje as a vice president in Salt Lake. The other departments and vice presidents of those departments will all remain the same," said Dull.
Pam Juliano, representing Congressman Jim Matheson, made a presentation to the commissioners. She said they have worked very hard and long for a field office in this area, and now that is a reality. She will serve as Rep. Matheson's liaison in the new field office in Price. The office is located in the basement of the Carbon County Courthouse, and the public is welcome to stop by or call with any concerns they wish the Congressman to investigate. "If anyone needs help with their social security, we can help. We plan to be the eyes and ears of the communities. The office will be open Monday-Friday and may be reached at 636-3722.
Juliano, who was previously the director of the United Way in this area, then introduced her replacement in that position, Kim Zollinger. Zollinger stated, "We work with six Emery County agencies and provide two scholarships. I hope to do as good a job as Pam has done," Zollinger can be reached at 1-800-250-SERV, Monday-Thursday from 1-5:30 p.m.
Commissioner Hatch reported that though the bill has not passed yet, Rep. Matheson was instrumental in trying to appropriate $7 million in highway funds to finish the Moore Cutoff road. "It hasn't passed yet, but we are hopeful," said Hatch.
In other business by the commissioners, a reappointment of Randy Jensen, Keith Ware and Judy Ann Scott, was made. These people were reappointed to the Career Service Council. The commission also approved to begin the process for accepting applications for the board of North Emery Waters Users Special Service District. Four positions will soon be open due to the expiration of the terms of present board members, Randy Bell, Ray Quinn, Carl Fillmore, and William Coyne.
The commission approved to give $250 to the Retired Senior Volunteers Program, to be used for the second annual Senior Affairs Fair. Also ratified by the commission was the nomination of Commissioner Hatch to the national Advisory Committee for the Protection of Inventoried Roadless Areas.
Three agenda items were discussed dealing with the mandate for digital television service to be made available in this area. The first was a request by Bret Mills for a letter from the commissioners to the FCC asking for a temporary license to broadcast the digital service.
It is planned to have the installation of the transmitters and equipment for one station, in place by county fair time. It is Mills' plan to demonstrate the differences between the digital signal and the analog signal in a booth at the county fair to the residents who attend. This was approved by the commissioners.
Another TV item was the signing of an amended interlocal agreement with the Eastern Utah Television Technologies Association. This association was created to deal with the mandate from the federal government to have digital television service by 2006. The cost of the change over is very great and several counties in eastern Utah came together to form this association to facilitate the change over. As an association, they have secured a 100 percent grant from the CIB board for $2.8 million to fund the project. The construction for this project will begin this summer. The commissioners discussed the amendments and approved the signing of the agreement.
A memorandum of understanding was also approved by the commissioners. This MOU states that Emery County will allow the TV association to use the buildings and properties in Emery County to place the equipment needed to change over to digital service. Should the need for the digital service ever be discontinued, the county will maintain ownership of the facilities. Mills reminded everyone that if new TVs are purchased for private homes, the homeowners should purchase a TV that has an ATSC receiver. The old analog TVs contain a NTSC receiver. With the implementation of this new equipment, the receivers in TVs will need to be ATSC.
For senior citizens, those on medicare and social security, with older TV sets, Congress is trying to appropriate funds to purchase the receiver boxes needed for reception of the digital signal.
These boxes are placed on top of the set and will make it unnecessary for people on fixed incomes to replace their TVs. For others with older TV sets, the receiver boxes can be purchased at many stores in the area.
Commissioner Hatch announced that construction on the Rilda Canyon intersection will begin very soon. This project is expected to take 60-70 days to complete. Also, the federal highway administration will be in Emery County to assess the damage to the switchbacks above Joe's Valley Reservoir. This repair work needs to completed very soon.
The scenic by-way, Energy Loop community clean-up day will be June 25. Bags, water bottles, and t-shirts may be picked up at the barbecue on the previous evening, June 24, which will be held at the rest stop on the Skyline Drive road at the top on Huntington Canyon. For more information concerning this clean-up day, call Kim at United Way.

Internet, Communications and Publishing sub-sectors saw increased deal activity, contributing to the 9% growth in announced deals for the 3 quarters ended 2013 versus prior year. In addition to deal trends for the year to date, a deeper look at one sub-sector -- telecom operations -- and the deal opportunities abounding as telecom companies look to improve network operations and spectrum efficiency.
Welcome to the first issue of US entertainment, media & communications deal trends, a quarterly publication prepared by the entertainment, media & communications (EMC) deal professionals at PwC. Similar to the annual report we published for nearly 10 years, we continue to focus on merger and acquisition trends in the EMC sector including domestic and outbound deals, corporate versus private equity deals, and a look at sub-sector activity. Where historically we provided a high level outlook on each sub-sector, we now offer a deeper dive into a single industry specific deal driver. Many deal drivers increasingly include technological and regulatory flavors and we need to take a closer look at those. We think this approach gets to the heart of where deal makers see opportunities and where future deal activity will emerge from.
The spotlight article in this issue, Looking Ahead: M&A opportunities for network operators and vendors, offers insight into the immediate outlook for deal-making in the telecom operations and technology sector as network operators improve efficiency of spectrum usage and optimize their network to meet customer demand. Small cell technology continues to be an attractive investment opportunity to mitigate the effects of exponentially increasing data usage.

Every home and business has a smoke detector. That's why no one will ever suspect that
smoke detector is actually recording covert video footage. The Smoke Detector Hidden Camera records all footage to a built-in video recorder (DVR) that houses a removable SD card, so you can easily transfer and view your footage on a TV or computer without dismantling the camera. The system is perfect for monitoring your home or business when you're not around; keeping an eye on your kids, or watching your property.
The Smoke Detector Hidden Camera boasts a full color Sony CCD camera, perfect for capturing high-quality, full-color video. Even though the smoke detector camera doesn't actually detect smoke or fire, it does beep if you press the "test" button, which will help keep your surveillance system's identity hidden. What makes this camera special is the fact that it records in full light or low light situations, which means you'll be able to capture crisp video even at night or in dimly lit rooms. The other feature that makes the Smoke Detector Hidden Camera stand out is that it has a motion-activation setting, so even when you're not around, the camera will start recording the moment motion is detected for 24/7 protection.

The Wonder Years
posted on April 14th, 2011
I get asked the same questions about The Wonder Years so often that I decided to include a "Wonder Years FAQ" section to my blog!
To kick it off, I'll answer two commonly asked questions:
1. "How did all the Wonder Years kids end up so normal and well-adjusted? Was it something in the water?"
2. "Do you ever get tired of being remembered for your role of "Winnie Cooper" on The Wonder Years?
Its true we all turned out okay! Fred Savage attended Stanford and is now a successful television director/producer, Jason Hervey is also a successful producer, and Josh Saviano and my sister Crystal (who played Becky Slater) both went to Yale and are now thriving lawyers in New York and San Diego!
Was it something in the water? Hardly. Comparing my experience to what I've heard from other lifelong actors, we kids on The Wonder Years lucked out. First of all, we had producers who cared about us having some semblance of a normal childhood, so they did what they could - I was in a singing group at my school, and I'll never forget when Ken Topolsky, one of our producers, rearranged the shooting schedule so that I wouldn't have to miss the big performance night. Skip Cook, the head electrician and unofficial head of the entire crew (no-one messed with the towering salt-of-the-earth Skip) kept the entire crew in check, making sure we had a set free from foul language. Dan Lauria, the dad on the show, was equally protective, and remains a great friend today. (Everybody go see him playing the title role in Broadway's Lombardi. I saw it in November; he's fantastic!)
All of us "wonder" kids turned out pretty well, and there's no denying the group most responsible for that: the moms. Led by Joanne Savage, the moms joined forces and kept a close eye on us, making sure the producers hired the best on-set tutors, that we didn't work a minute past what child labor laws mandated, and in general, made sure we weren't ever put in harm's way. Joanne Savage, Mahaila McKellar, Jane Saviano, and Marsha Hervey were the mother lions, watching out for each other's cubs as much as their own. Unlike many "stage moms", none of them was trying to live vicariously through her kid. None of them particularly cared about the fame or attention that comes from being affiliated with a hit show, so none of them had any problem standing up to the producers to ensure our safety or health. They weren't there to kiss up to the executives to make sure their kid stayed famous. Our moms were there, first and foremost, to support and protect us. Simple as that. They are all remarkable women, and to this day they get together for dinners!
For question #2:
Since the show debuted after the Superbowl in 1988, nearly every day I get recognized for playing Winnie Cooper. You'd think it would get old, (and as a teenager I went through a period when I was soooo over it), but the truth is, I'm grateful to have been a part of such a beloved show, and it's helped me spread my message of empowerment through math to countless girls across this country (and now the UK and Austraila!), because not only do parents of these girls remember the show, but journalists do, too! It's been such an incredible springboard for me, and I'm forever grateful. And of course every time someone tells me they have watched The Wonder Years as a family and that it has brought them closer, inspiring family discussions, my heart just fills with warmth
and I know it's my duty and privilege to give back in any ways I can.
So...no, I don't get tired of it. :)

Congrats on the site and I wish you all the best in your endeavors. I really loved the final episode of TWY and wondered a couple of things. When you finally got to read about Kevin and Winnie's future, how did you feel about it? Secondly, did it ever make you or Fred want to collaborate and write an epilogue? (In literary format not made-for-TV or movie format)

Best show of ALL-TIME. period.
posted by Mr. Smirk on April 14th, 2011
It is so great that you and the others have prospered after all these years. I have question. Looking back on how the show ended how did you feel about Kevin and Winnie not ending up together?
posted by andy mccartney ortiz on April 14th, 2011
The best thing about The wonder years was that Innocence was the topic, Kevin was the typical teenager in love of his neighbour and Winnie that beautiful neighbour! I was in Jr. high when the show began and in my last year of high school when the show ends so it is a beautiful memory to have and to tell our kids about.

Loved the show. I watched it when i was in my teens. I hope one day they'll release it on DVD...it's really a crime that it hasn't been yet. Nice site.. You Rock Danica!!

We all wanted to look like Winnie Cooper. Cute and adorable!
posted by KSanders on May 4th, 2011
Even though some of us were disappointed at how the story of the Wonder Years ended in that last episode, we can all be happy about the way the lives of the actors playing those characters have developed so nicely.

Hey everyone, I too am a huge fan of the show. I first watched it on the Nick at Night marathon back in the day on Nick. At the time I was only around 10 years old and I too thought that you Danica were exceptionally beautiful. Time after time after watching episodes I realized i too was going through those exact same things. I just completed watching the series again last night. I especially liked the episode where his math teacher passes, and the episode where Kevins English teacher got fired. The last episodes were great too. I say this all because in the last year I have lost both my mom and dad to sickness. I am about to finish my BA now in history and continue on with my MA and PHD's in history. At this point in my life I too wonder as the characters in the last episode wondered where they were going in life. I guess I like many people in their late teens or 20s wonder where they are going in life. I only hope that I can find myself in the next few years. I hope to join the peace corps, or do some volunteer work in the next couple of years. Anyways, thanks for the great show, its helped me with my parents loss, my older brothers problems, and my own problems Nate

Hi! i've already posted this comment on another segment, but now i found this one related to Wonder years show,so it's better to leave my comment in here. i found ur artist page on facebook,then through searches i found ur own website here which is great, where u can interact with people from around the world.. well, iâm sure ur already sick of people who talk and ask about âwonder yearsâ series, but right now, right here, iâm gonna say, iâve just finished watching the whole 115 episodes, again!! (used to watch them back in the early 90?s) and the last one have left a big hole in my heart, canât really explain, maybe itâs normal since iâm really attached to the show, maybe i went deep and felt every little scene and emotion and totally lived it myself while watching, but today i tell u, the events in the last episode did leave a mark, i mightâve been expecting some âdeja vuâ ending or Happy ending i should say, instead, it was so real and could happen to any of us! i donât know what ur opinion is, i know itâs been years! iâve watched it every night with my wife here, and everytime we wondered: why is it that weâve never seen more episodes in which all of u guys could appear again and show us events that followed the old times?! For me, it is and will be the best and the most touching series ever, i grew up watching it and here i am today, 32 yrs old, watching it again! Thank u, all of u, i wish i could say it to every single one of the cast.. and i wish weâd be always in touch. Gill

Hello, my name is Sergio, I write from chile. by chance I found a site where he could see the end of the series, was very pleasant and I liked it even though Kevin's father died soon after. Good thing the actors of the series have happy lives and communicate with each other, like the characters they were doing on TV Danica Thanks for telling us how they managed to bring in harmony with the fame he acquired, how good their parents have led that way. It was gratifying to see the end of the series and units, players lead a happy life ... Thanks for that series so inspiring that I understood but now I'm grown when I was young ..... Sergio

I remember being very young, possibly 7 or 8? I'm not precisely sure. I do remember though, during my childhood i managed to catch a glimpse of \The Wonder Years\" when they were going through syndication on Nick-At-Night. I'm not exactly sure how many episodes I managed to catch

Hi Danica,
I'm Frank and I come from the Netherlands. Just happend to come across your website after seeing Fred Savage on 'Family guy'. Was just wondering what happend to him and the rest of the cast of TWY and starting searching the internet. Luckily I found your website too.
I'm really impressed by the work you do promoting math to young girls.
Thanks for that and for the lovely memories of TWY. That show was just awesome.
And yes, math is sexy :)

It seems like yesterday when The Wonder Years premiered - the same year my oldest son was born. And now here I am re-watching the entire series with my youngest son (11) and he loves it as much as my 3 older children.
Until we started to watch again, I wondered how the cast was doing. I have not seen much of the other work you and the others have done over the years, but it is nice to see that everyone from the show seems to be doing well.
Congratulations on your books and your other successes. And thank you for both the memories and a show worth watching together with my family - over and over again :)

With a low drop and lightweight feel for mild overpronators, the Saucony Mirage 2 is a reliable shoe with moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
The Saucony Mirage 2 has you covered. This lightweight, supportive daily trainer has a responsive, fast midsole that works well for racing and training alike. The low stack height brings your heel closer to the ground to promote a more natural footstrike, and the thin upper allows feet to breathe from mile 1 to 26.
Model Number:
Weight: 8.4 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (26mm), Forefoot (21mm)
How It Fits (based on width B) Width B=Medium Width
The Mirage 2 is a moderate feature, minimum support shoe designed for speedwork, racing and daily training. It is built with a semi-curved shape.
Comments: I love this shoe! I overpronate, have a high arch and wear orthotics, and I have been running in the Omni for the last 2+ years. That shoe is a little heavy, so I wanted to try something lighter that still had the support and could accommodate my orthotics. The Mirage 2 fits me better in the forefoot (the Omni was a little wide) and is noticeably lighter. And the blue/pink is really cute! I am ordering a second pair. Please don't change anything!
From: Holly, Owatonna, MN, USA
Comments: As a competitive high school XC and track and field athlete (30mpw in the fall, less in the spring racing distances from 400m-5000m, training pace from 6:49/mile - 8:30/mile) this shoe has worked out perfectly for me. It is light enough for my faster days yet has just enough support for a slight over pronation on my right side. I have high arches and these shoes have provided me with just the right amount of support. In comparison to the old mirages, they seem to fit the form of the foot a little better, if you like a snug fit. They also seem more breathable and able to dry faster. I would recommend the mirages for anyone wanting a lighter ride with minimal support as long as they have a midfoot strike.

ESPN's recent announcement that it will shutter its ESPN 3D broadcast channel doesn't mean the death knell for 3-D at home.
Despite ups and downs, 3-D has survived and at times thrived in movie theaters over — count 'em — seven decades.
But the plan that Hollywood and TV makers have for 3-D to become a fixture in the home is not playing out as scripted.
3-D has found its way into about 12 million U.S. homes, according to market tracking firm The NPD Group. TV makers have included it as a feature on mid- and higher-priced displays over the last three years or so. However, 3-D-ready TV sales are starting to slow and few use 3-D features regularly.
Even though many homes have 3-D TVs and are watching events and 3-D Blu-ray Discs, there are signs that the move to TV broadcasts in 3-D might have been premature. "It's not clear the case can be made for it in the short term," says Mary Shelton Rose, an advisory partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Some of the momentum for 3-D was lost recently when ESPN said that by year's end it would scrap its ESPN 3D channel carried by several pay-TV providers. And just last week, the BBC announced that it was immediately shutting down its 3-D channel.
ESPN cited lack of consumer interest. "Really, the growth in 3-D in the home wasn't there. We had to make a decision," says ESPN's Katina Arnold.
Among events that ESPN had broadcast in 3-D were 2010 World Cup soccer matches, the Masters tournament, the X Games college football bowl games and this year's Wimbledon.
For now, ESPN plans to focus on its new experimental broadcast for the next wave of TVs — Ultra HD sets that boast four times the resolution of current HD.
ESPN's bowing out is a bad sign for home growth of the format, says Sweta Dash, senior director of display research and strategy at research firm IHS. "Sports events, gaming and movies are supposed to be the main drivers for 3-D TV," she says. "ESPN's announcement will push consumers to question the future of 3-D TV at home."
Last year, DirecTV and Panasonic decided to shutter the n3D channel that they had collaborated on. Instead, the TV provider continues to offer occasional 3-D events, pay-per-view 3-D movies such as Monsters Inc. and the 3net channel, a joint venture of Sony, Discovery and IMAX.
DirecTV is "always ready to provide more if demand increases," said DirecTV's Jade Ekstedt.
In theaters, 3-D is event-driven. The biggest 3-D film ever was Avatar, which did about 80% of its $760 million revenue in 3-D sales, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com, and boosted 3-D box office revenue to $2.2 billion in 2010. The last two years have seen 3-D ticket sales stabilize at $1.8 billion in 2011 and 2012, even though last year saw fewer 3-D releases.
While theaters await the next big have-to-see-in-3-D event — Avatar 2 and 3 are expected to be shot next year — many tentpole films such as Man of Steel and World War Z are offered in 3-D along with 2-D. Typically, 3-D tickets make up about 40% of blockbuster films' box office, which means many moviegoers are opting to pay $4 to $6 more to see a film in 3-D.
"It looks like that is what the market will bear and what people will pay," says Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations.
With 3-D a solid segment of the theatrical ecosystem, Hollywood has released a steady stream of 3-D movies on Blu-ray Discs. As for broadcast 3-D, many entertainment industry insiders and observers question its relevance.
"3-D in the home has a lot of upside, but it's challenging," Shelton Rose says.
Home 3-D TV was meant to be event-driven, too, says Steve Koenig, director of industry analysis for the Consumer Electronics Association. Manufacturers began including 3-D as a built-in feature about three years ago, many including multiple sets of 3-D glasses with the TV. But the percentage of new TVs being shipped with 3-D is down this year, he says.
At home, viewers may watch a big game or event in 3-D, but they aren't going to constantly watch 3-D programming, Koenig says. That is a hard sell for advertisers, which are needed to keep broadcast 3-D channels alive. "It was hard to ever imaginethat consumers were going to come home and sit down on the couch, put on the glasses and watch TV all night in 3-D," he says.
TV makers were too quick to pin their hopes on 3-D as a selling point, says Nicholas Routhier, co-founder and CEO of Sensio, a Plainview, N.Y., company that streams 3-D movies on smart TVs. "3-D broadcast was way, way, way too early. The business model was not there," he says.
Instead, TV makers should have focused on promoting 3-D Blu-ray Disc movies at home. "That's a really terrific format, but they started subsidizing the cameras and subsidizing the FIFA World Cup and financing the whole 3-D broadcasting," he says.
It's uncertain how many homes actually watch the 3-D TVs they have. One barometer: Only 14% of consumers expect to buy a 3-D TV, down from 25% two years ago, NPD finds, and only half of fans are interested in watching 3-D events, down from 70% in 2011.
"Most consumers are watching predominantly in 2-D mode," IHS' Dash says, "due to lack of content as much as inconvenient technology," meaning the required 3-D glasses.
Some companies such as Stream TV are preparing to bring to market later this year 3-D TVs that do not require glasses. For now, "picture quality is still not up to consumers' expectation," Dash says.
And current glasses-required 3-D home viewing doesn't measure up to what viewers see in theaters. "That immersive experience that is captured in the theater is not quite there in the home," says Robert Jaffe, chief strategy officer at Prime Focus World, which converts new and older films to 3-D for theatrical release.
Among the Hollywood firm's recent works: 3-D conversions for World War Z and The Wizard of Oz, which will play in theaters for a week in September and be released on 3-D Blu-ray the next month.
Many releases such as The Avengers and The Hobbit come in multidisc combo packs with a standard Blu-ray Disc, DVD and digital copy in addition to 3-D Blu-ray, priced at $45-$50. At the end of 2012, more than 200 3-D Blu-ray movies were available, up from 108 in 2011, IHS says.
"ESPN truly was ahead of its time," Jaffe says. "We think there is tremendous benefit to in-home 3-D. It hasn't taken off for a variety of reasons. Will it translate to the home? We still believe the answer to that is yes."
So does Sensio, which currently has its 3DGo! movie-streaming service on board in Vizio 3-D smart TVs. It's working with other TV makers and also prepping its service for future glasses-free displays.
Like another Hollywood-created tech spectacle, the Terminator, 3-D just keeps coming back. "Some say 3-D never catches on," Sensio's Routhier says. "I'm actually more of the school of thought that 3-D never dies."

Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon reported Easter weekend was a busy one in the county. A young man died on Cedar Mountain from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Friday night.
"There were two over due people hiking in the Chute and Baptist Draw area. They were located unharmed. In the Little Wildhorse area there were some lost kids hiking. Their parents and three children ages 4-9 attempted to locate the other lost children and in their attempt, they became lost as well. All of the parties were located uninjured," said Sheriff Guymon.
There was an ATV accident where a young female was injured in the Goblin Valley Little Wildhorse area. There was also an armed robbery at the Holiday Inn Express in Green River.

Here Ye, Here Ye! We are gathered here today to introduce to you New York City based, Court Shop very own label, Court Denim. They offer a range of washes in blues, black, white and gray in high-waisted style jeans (and only high-waisted but not too high). The fits for the skinny, straight, boot and belle cut are amazing for all hip fashionistas to the everyday moms looking for a bit of clean extra coverage– think good riddance to muffin top. Read on for our exclusive interview and we will let you give us your verdict.
Denim Therapy: Lets start from the beginning. How did you know you wanted to be a designer?
Court Denim: I always wanted to be a designer. I have a degree in fashion design and a background as a juniors & denim designer. As retailers since 2004, with our downtown store Circa Now and Court, specializing in vintage & designer denim, we saw a void in the market for affordable designer denim with an emphasis on clean, classic, natural waist styles.
DT: Are there other denim brands you consider your immediate competition? How do you differentiate yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands afloat right now?
CD: We consider our competition to be Ksubi, J Brand, Acne. We are different as we specialize in hi waist fits. Most brands offer one hi waist style per season. We offer natural waist fits in skinny straight bell or boot in tons of washes every season. In both 5-pocket and novelty fits. Also, because we are partnered with our manufacturer, we are able to offer premium, designer denim at about half the price of our above named competitors.
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
CD: We do a lot of travelling throughout the year and gather inspiration everywhere from the streets of nyc and paris, to vintage ads and jeans, art, music, design and it all finds its way on to our seasonal inspiration board.
DT: Describe the person who represents your ideal target customer—the customer you have in mind when you're planning a collection.
CD: Cool, comfortable, confident. The downtown fashion girls love our hi waist styles, as do upper east side moms looking for a little more coverage.
DT: Can you give us hint about what's next?
CD: For spring 12 we will continue our classic Americana feel with modern take on 60's and 70's influence. Think Jane Birkin.
DT: What would be your dream collaboration? Any plans of that in the future?
CD: Our dream collaboration is Alexander Wang! For current spring 11 collection, we collaborated with LIPS Jeans re-releasing their cult favorite Zoe jean. For fall 11, we are working with organic dyer Audrey Louise Reynolds to offer one of a kind hand dyed denim in limited runs.
DT: What are the most popular washes/fits in the line? What are your favorites, and how would you style them?
CD: Our staple piece is the HI waist skinny. Most popular washes are Black OD, Blue OD and indigo rinse. We love seeing them with a feminine vintage inspired blouse or your favorite tee, with lots of Pam Love jewelry. We also love and have done extremely will with our hi waist bell. Bells are great with this seasons wedges (and we cut them long specially for this reason).
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
CD: We don't like over branding or too much "stuff" on our jeans. We like clean classic fits and washes. With us all the attention is in the fit and washes rather than any tricks. We are loving bells and straight legs, but always end up in our hi waist skinnies!
DT: Street style and style blogs are huge in the industry right now as a source of inspiration, influencing the high end labels rather than vice versa. How much does street style influence your designing?
CD: Very much so. NYC girls are a constant source of inspiration for design and style.
DT: How many pairs of denim do YOU own?
CD: Personally I own about 100 pairs of jeans. Lots of vintage archives, Judi Rosen, H&M, Deisel, J Brand, Grey Ant, Acne and lots of Court!
DT: Favorite celeb wearing your denim?
CD: Musician MNDR. She's been buying up every wash for her tours with Mark Ronson!

Where you are interested in studying abroad will impact which courses you will want to take prior to, during, and after going abroad. Many courses are available abroad; the only psychology courses that must be taken on Loyola's campus are PY291 and PY292.
Questions to consider during your freshman/sophomore year, if you are considering going abroad:
In general, it is safe to suggest that you will want to take your Core "intro" courses here (e.g., PL201, TH201, HS101 & EN101), and save your "upper-level" core courses for while you are abroad, in order to stay on track and maximize the likelihood of courses abroad being transferred back to Loyola. If you do not fulfill upper-level core courses while abroad, you will have more opportunity to take upper-level courses when registering as a junior or senior.
Regarding whether you will be able to take psychology courses while abroad, the answer is, "it depends." some abroad institutions offer many psych courses, while others offer very few. It is up to you to contact the international programs office to explore whether the program of interest typically offers a good number of psychology courses. In addition, you are limited to taking two psychology courses per semester, while abroad.
Another major issue, and probably the most important issue, is that you need to complete Research Methods I & II ideally during your sophomore year to ensure you will not be taking the research sequence senior year (which can cause complications; not insurmountable, but still complications). A section of PY291 is now available in the spring with the subsequent PY292 in the subsequent fall semester. This is a wonderful option for sophomore students who are studying abroad in the spring of their junior year. The research sequence may not be taken while abroad. (reminder: You must take ideally prior to, or concurrently with PY291. The statistics course is a prerequisite for PY292. ST110, ST210 or ST265
There is information outside of the study abroad office on a kiosk to get materials on all of the study abroad programs. You can read it before you come to an information session. When you have gathered the information about the program you are interested in, have taken all the necessary steps to prepare to apply and understand the requirements for acceptance, then view the study abroad application. All students who want to participate in this program must apply online.
Once you submit in your study abroad application, you will receive an electronic confirmation. Your application will be validated only if you have brought a signed Study Abroad Application Advisor's Statement to the international program's office.

MONTREAL (AP) — Police in Canada say three people have been arrested in connection with a massive maple syrup heist from a Quebec warehouse, which put a dent in the global supply.
Quebec produces up to 80 percent of the world's maple syrup.
Authorities never disclosed the exact amount of maple syrup stolen in August. But the warehouse contained Quebec's maple syrup reserves, which were supposed to hold 10 million pounds valued at $30 million.
Those arrested are scheduled to face charges Tuesday of theft, conspiracy, fraud and trafficking in stolen goods.
Police also have seized vehicles suspected of being used in the illicit trafficking of the syrup.

Terry, Patrick Alan, 1984- (University of Oregon, June , 2011)[more][less]Terry, Patrick Alan, 1984- 2011-08-05T01:15:49Z 2011-08-05T01:15:49Z 2011-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11477 viii, 111 p. : ill. (some col.) During the early stage of Japan's High Economic Growth Period (1955-1970), a group of directors and films, labeled the Japanese New Wave, emerged to strong critical acclaim and scholarly pursuit. Over time, Japanese New Wave Cinema has come to occupy a central position within the narrative history of Japanese film studies. This position has helped introduce many significant films while inadvertently ostracizing or ignoring the much broader landscape of film at this time. This thesis seeks to complexify the New Wave's central position through the career of Daiei Studios' director, Masumura Yasuzo. Masumura signifies a "space in-between" the cultural elite represented by the New Wave and the box office focus of mass culture cinema. Utilizing available English language and rare Japanese sources, this thesis will re-examine Masumura's position on the periphery of film studies while highlighting the larger film environment of this dynamic period.

Wilbert George 'Buddy' Carriere Jr.
Memorial services for longtime Cortez resident Wilbert George "Buddy" Carriere Jr. will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 23 at Ertel Memorial Chapel. Inurnment will follow at Summit Ridge Cemetery with Military Honors being provided by Ute Mountain American Legion Post No. 75. Lunch will be served at 12 p.m. at the American Legion.
Bud passed away Friday, Feb. 14, 2014, at his home in Cortez of natural causes. He was born April 12, 1931 at Pandora, Colo. to W.G. Carriere Sr. and Mildred (Midge) Irving. He attended school in Telluride, graduating with the class of 1949. He married Helen O'Conner in 1950, this union ended in divorce. He joined the Army in 1952 and was stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Tex. for two years. He met and married Elizabeth Miller in 1965. They lived in El Paso until Bud's retirement from the National Guard in 1989. They moved to Cortez, where Bud has lived and served as the Veteran's Administrator for Montezuma County since August 1991 (22 1/2 years), until the time of his passing.
Bud was well known among the Veterans that he worked for and with. He made many friends within the ranks of our servicemen, women, and their spouses. His family is truly grateful to Montezuma County for providing him the opportunity to help others and in return to make his life full and meaningful. He will be missed by the many lives he touched.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth, of 30 years; his grandson, Joshua Martin; his parents, Bud & Midge Carriere; and his stepdaughter, Gina E. Martin. Bud is survived by his granddaughter, Stacey Martin of Cortez; great grandson, Kayden; great granddaughter, Gina Marie Nelson and husband, Shane of Cortez; brothers, Robert Carriere of Norwood, Colo., Tom Carriere and wife, Margot of Denver, Colo., and Ron Carriere of Denver, Colo.; sister, Charlotte Royer and husband, Johnny of Norwood, Colo.; one very special uncle, Theron Irving of El Sobrante, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews who were very special to him and he to them. He is also survived by special cousins on both sides of his family and his extended Cortez family. Bud will be greatly missed by the many friends he grew up with in Telluride, served with in El Paso, and worked with in Cortez.
Bud was a loving son, husband, brother, grandpa, uncle, cousin, and friend. He will be remembered for his quiet ways, his sense of family, his sense of humor, and his loyalty to those he held most dear. We are each better because of the example he set for all of us.
Memorial contributions can be made to Cortez Veteran's Assistance, 320 N. Harrison Street, Cortez, Colo. 81321.
Services are under the direction of Ertel Funeral Home. For further information or to send condolences, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

Cute shoes!
"I bought two pairs for my daughter (one in a bigger size for when summer comes) and they are really cute. They fit her feet perfectly although they are a tiny bit wide (not too much) for her narrow feet. Just happy they don't slip off. They are much cuter in person also. Overall, they'll be perfect to pair with spring and summer outfits!"

2008 Ultrarunning Sponsorship: The Big Teams
March 18, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 40 Comments
The scope and nature of ultrarunner sponsorship has changed greatly in 2008. One primary cause of this change is the former 800-pound gorilla of ultrarunner sponsorship, Montrail, greatly reduced the size of their team. That change is in large part responsible for the significant trend towards sponsorship focusing more narrowly on elite ultramarathoners. Another trend […]

Miller: Why would Howard stay with the Lakers?
It was the question that was supposed to dog the Lakers all season, even as they romped toward their two predestined showdowns, first with the Oklahoma City Thunder and then the Miami Heat.
The query resurfaces now, but, this time, it arrives with a twist.
It's no longer will he but rather why would he. Why, in the name of all that's sane, would Dwight Howard re-sign with this rock pile?
Because he enjoys getting fewer shots than Jodie Meeks?
Because he longs to play for a coach who doesn't know how to use a center?
Because the Lakers give him his worst chance to win?
Crediting sources, ESPN's website reported that Howard "has dropped hints within team circles" about being uncomfortable here and that the situation could cause him to "consider moving on" at season's end.
Consider moving on? The real news is Howard hasn't already concluded that he'll be moving on.
We can confirm ESPN's report based on what our sources are telling us, too, and by sources, we mean our eyes and ears.
There's no need to see another "6" next to Howard's name in the field-goal attempts column or hear him again lobby the team to play "inside-out."
Howard looks as comfortable about his future in warm, sunny L.A. as a snowman would. At this point, the free in free agency must sound more appealing to him than even the dollar figures he'll soon be considering.
Maybe this is more Howard's fault than anybody's. Maybe he's being selfish, putting his well-being ahead of the greater good.
Well, guess what? Big deal. Who would you rather build a team around, a young center who can dominate or a coach who runs an offense that barely even has plays?
There aren't many Dwight Howards on this earth. You can find plenty of Mike D'Antonis.
There are a lot of shocking things about the first half of this Lakers season. Nothing, however, has been more jarring than the overwhelming totality of their failure.
They've tried two head coaches and still keep losing. They've tried two offenses and still can't score enough.
Howard has been unable to play with Kobe Bryant. Pau Gasol has been unable to play with Howard. And D'Antoni has no answers, only shrugs.
Steve Nash has been the worst savior of all-time. The picks haven't worked and neither have the rolls.
Antawn Jamison was supposed to be the Lakers' sixth man and some games instead has been their 12th man.
They can't defend with any consistency and — most unacceptable of all — won't play with sustained effort.
It has become a regular part of a D'Antoni postgame news conference, the question of if the Lakers played hard enough. On a team of NBA veterans, this is incredible. The fact the answer so often has been "well, no" is staggering.
You'd think a bunch of guys who are slower, not terribly athletic and — as Bryant puts it — "old as (expletive)" would understand their only chance is to match the energy of the opposition. Yet, the Lakers continue to disappoint.
On Jan. 17, with 21/2 minutes to go in the game, they were tied with the NBA champion Heat. There was at least a hint of feel good. Since then, the Lakers folded in that game, bombed in Toronto, couldn't finish against undermanned Chicago and simply were second-best in Memphis.
Along the way, Bryant, Nash and General Manager Mitch Kupchak all noted a general lack of effort.
This season hasn't been as bad as reality television; it has been worse. Unreal TV. "The Real Underachievers of El Segundo."
At this point, the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference — the Trail Blazers and Rockets are tied — is on pace to finish 41-41. The Lakers have to go 24-16 to reach 41 victories.
Would it matter? Not likely. If they somehow made the postseason, they'd be ground into dust just getting there. D'Antoni's defensive misuse of Bryant — and the man has spent half his life toiling in the NBA — has been laughably shortsighted. The Lakers' wobbly legs couldn't support them regardless of their first-round opponent.
So, why would Howard sign up for more of this? The answer is he wouldn't, not as long as the man in charge is D'Antoni, the misfit coach of a bunch of pieces that don't fit.
By the way, have we mentioned the reported locker room confrontations, front-office turmoil and incessant player dissatisfaction? There's all that, as well.
Despite what Robert Horry and Shaquille O'Neal say, this isn't about on-court demeanor or fashion. Magic Johnson smiled a lot and Wilt Chamberlain wore a headband.
This is about a roster that doesn't work well enough and players who don't work hard enough and a big offseason acquisition whose re-signing was considered paramount to a team's future.
This is about the complete failure of a franchise, the total grounding of a player brought in to soar and what can happen with Dwight Howard when things don't go super, man.
