(Updated) Medford teen found alive at Sugarloaf in Maine
In what some likened to a "miracle," a Medford teen who was missing for two nights on a Maine mountain was found Tuesday morning after building his own snow shelter to survive.
Nicholas Joy built a snow cave to shield himself from the elements on Sugarloaf Mountain after he apparently became lost while skiing with family last weekend. Maine officials praised his presence of mind to create his own shelter.
"He … had the wits enough to make a snow cave and stayed there for the night," Maine Warden Service Lt. Kevin Adam told reporters during a news conference. "Obviously he made some errors getting off of the trail, but he used his head and made some very good decisions in building a snow cave and even staying with the snow cave was a good decision."
The 17-year-old had been skiing with his father at Sugarloaf Mountain all day Sunday and was last seen by his dad as the teen rode a chairlift just after noon Sunday, the Maine Warden Service said.
Joy somehow got out of bounds on the ski area, came down on the west side of the mountain and realized he wasn't going to be able to get back, Adam said.
He was found about 9 a.m. by Joel Paul, a snowmobile rider from Massachusetts. The snowmobile rider was not part of the search party that had been looking for Joy since Sunday.
Joy was found on a snowmobile trail and was being taken to a hospital for evaluation.
"He was located alive and well on Caribou Pond Road on the west side of the mountain," the Maine Warden Service said in a statement.
John Diller, the general manager of Sugarloaf, said he became emotional when he received word that Joy was found and was OK.
"I did happen to show up about a minute after the parents got the news … I cried with them," he said during a news conference. "This kind of thing is almost like a miracle."

How to Use the Archives
How to Use the Archives
To locate interviews in the collections of the Columbia Center for Oral History (CCOH), please consult listings either through the CCOH Interviews Portal, our online collection search tool, or the manual card catalog at the Center. Interviews in the Collection are catalogued in two divisions: biographical (i.e., individual), and those which are part of a larger project. If you are coming from a great distance, please call or email CCOH in advance to confirm that the interview you wish to see is available.
Preparing to Visit
If you wish to view the collections in person, you are encouraged to register for a Special Collections Research Account before your visit. Through the account you will be able to research interviews and create requests. Upon arrival you will be asked to provide government issued photo identification, or Columbia ID, along with a current address, telephone number, and other contact information.
If you do not have a Columbia identification card, for library access first visit the Library Information Office (LIO), located immediately to the left of the security desk inside the front door of Butler Library. Present a government issued photo ID, tell LIO staff that you are coming to use the Columbia Center for Oral History collections, and give them an estimate of the number of days you plan to use the library. LIO will then issue you a temporary pass that provides access to CCOH.
CCOH is located in Butler Library, Room 801. To reach the office turn left after passing the security desk in the library lobby and follow the hallway. After the hallway curves to the right you will find a set of elevators which will take you to the 6th Floor. Immediately after exiting the elevators, turn to your right and take the stairway up to the 8th Floor. Our office is located on the hallway to your right.
For those with mobility needs, please take the elevators to the 3rd Floor. Exit and approach the Circulation Desk. Take the stacks elevators located behind the Circulation Desk to Stack 14. Exit the elevators and follow the hallway out of the stacks. Our office will be in the main hallway to your left.
Determining Permission Status
Once you have located a desired interview, you must determine its permission status. As indicated in our search portal and CLIO, interviews marked "Permission Required to Cite or Quote" (PRCQ) or Open, are available for reading and citation/quotation. Interviews marked "Permission Required to See" (PRTS or PR) require written permission from the interviewee or other designated person. Interviews may also be Closed.
If an interview is marked anything but PRCQ or Open, ask Center staff to check the current status of the interview. Interviews marked "Micro" have been micropublished and may be ordered. Tell a staff member if you would like to place a microfiche order. When you have located interviews you wish to see, you will be asked to fill out a registration form and a call slip for each interview.
All interviews with copyright held by CCOH may be photocopied for you by CCOH staff at a cost of $.10 per page for double-sided copies and $.20 per page for single-sided copies. Orders may be picked up in person or mailed to you. There is an additional $1.50 postage and handling fee for every fifty pages mailed. Most interviews that are marked PRCQ or Open are copyrighted to this Office, and we hold copyrights to all the microfiched interviews. Interviews catalogued as PRTS, and some marked PRCQ, require explicit written permission to photocopy over and above permission to read. Staff will assist you in locating the proper person to write to for this permission.
If you are visiting the archive, please submit your photocopy request and payment directly to CCOH. Photocopy orders may also be placed over the telephone or via e-mail. All orders must be prepaid by check or cash. Orders over $20 may also be paid for via Visa or Mastercard.
Permission to Cite or Quote
If you plan to use an interview in a published work or commercial production, you must secure our permission to cite or quote. In most cases your publisher will ask you to secure such permissions. In order to do so, please submit to us the pages of the manuscript in which the interview is quoted as well as the three preceding and following pages. We will check the citation and issue a letter of permission. This procedure takes at least four weeks.
The suggested form of citation is: Reminiscences of _______________ (date of the interview), on pages ________ in the Columbia Center for Oral History Collection (hereafter CCOHC).
For commercial productions, please write us describing your project and the words you wish to use. Any use beyond standards of "fair use" may require a fee. For more information, please review our Instructions for Requesting Permissions
Access to Audio
In addition to transcripts, we have audio on file for roughly three-fourths of the Collection. If you are interested in listening to audio for a specific interview, please let us know in advance. Portions of audio from the Collection has been digitized and may be accessed. However if the audio for the interview is in an outmoded or fragile format (i.e. cassette, 7" reel), it will first have to be converted to a digital format by an audio specialist who will bill you directly.
In cases where the tape and the transcript differ, the tape is provided for background use only. All citations must come from the transcript. Commercial use of tapes is governed by additional restrictions. Please ask the advice of CCOH staff if you have questions concerning these procedures.
Media Use Policy
Media will be made available for listening/viewing subject to restrictions imposed by the interviewee or sponsoring institution. If an interview (the work) is closed or requires permission to consult, the complete work (transcripts and media) is subject to that restriction.
When an interview is open or opened (when a restriction lapses) and the interviewee or sponsoring institution has retained literary rights, including copyright, media will be made available for listening only with the permission of the copyright holder subject to any restrictions the copyright holder may impose.
When an interview is open and the literary rights, including copyright, held by Columbia University, media will be made available for listening with the following restrictions:
- In cases where interviewee editing of the transcript has been minimal (style editing, for instance) media will be made available for listening in order to clear up any ambiguities of meaning in the written text or for background purposes. All citation and quotation must, however, be made from the transcript, the document of record.
- In cases where interviewee editing has been substantial and substantive, media will be made available for listening only with permission of the interviewee.
- Upon death of the interviewee, media will be made available for listening at the discretion of the Director of the Columbia Center for Oral History. All citation or quotation is limited to the transcript.
- Upon the death of the interviewee, reproduction will be done only with the permission of the copyright holder (the sponsoring institution, the Columbia Center for Oral History, or in some cases heirs or assigns of the interviewee) subject to any restrictions imposed by the copyright holder.

New Zealand wine exports grew eight per cent to $1.12 billion in the year to June 30, as the high dollar eroded profits.
The annual report of New Zealand Winegrowers, which represents about 1,000 growers and 700 wineries, says total export and domestic sales increased 10 per cent to a record 242 million litres.
International wine sales have increased by 79 per cent since 2007.
New Zealand's overall freight-on-board price per litre fell seven per cent to $6.58.
Globally, New Zealand is the 10th largest exporter of wine by value and the 11th largest for volume. New Zealand is second, behind France, in terms of the average price at which wine is sold.
"Profitability is a key concern," chairman Stuart Smith said.
"Lower yields this year have restricted grower incomes while for wineries the challenge will be to maintain shelf space and grow key development markets in a time of tight supply.
"Returns have also been impacted by the high New Zealand dollar and domestic tax increases," he said.
Australia remains New Zealand largest export market, with exports across the Tasman totalling $380 million. Exports to the UK were $284m, while the US market continued to "perform strongly" on $250m.
"The UK imports a greater volume of New Zealand wine than Australia but the value is lower due to the weak pound and large proportion of bulk wine exports," Smith said.
"Bulk wine has now become the norm for popular premium wine imports for all counties into the UK."
Exports to Canada lifted 20 per cent to $70m, while China rose 50 per cent to $25m.

Brookdale Boy said:
A great departure from Connelly's Harry Bosch novels. Still entertaining. I'm not usually into "anti-heros" but Cassie Black is a good one - you really care about her and her plight. Won't knock your socks off - a few too many "relvelations" at the end to be plausible - but a good solid read.

Razor said:
One of the better Connelly books I've read that didn't involve Harry Bosch (though there are many more of his books I still need to read). Other reviews here said it well... Though there's no "good guy" in the novel (the primary characters are all criminals), the story is still riveting as you find yourself pulling for the lesser of two — or three — evils. Connelly's characters and plots never disappoint. Check out this book today!

18 U.S. Code § 548 - Removing or repacking goods in warehouses
Whoever fraudulently conceals, removes, or repacks merchandise in any bonded warehouse or fraudulently alters, defaces or obliterates any marks or numbers placed upon packages deposited in such warehouse, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Merchandise so concealed, removed, or repacked, or packages upon which any marks or numbers have been so altered, defaced, or obliterated, shall be forfeited to the United States.

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on section 1597 of title 19, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Customs Duties (June 17, 1930, ch. 497, title IV, § 597,46 Stat. 752).
This section was rewritten to place the criminal provisions ahead of the forfeiture provisions. This did not require any substantive changes except omission of reference to persons aiding. Such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title.
The punishment prescribed by section 545 of this title was inserted to make this section complete without reference to another section. In doing so it was necessary to rephrase the punishment provision of section 545 of this title, as originally enacted, without change of substance.
Forfeiture provision was rephrased to make it clear that forfeiture was not dependent upon conviction.
Changes were made in phraseology.
1994—Pub. L. 103–322substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $5,000".

China's economy has seen remarkable growth over the past two decades. Eventually, it will rival that of the U.S. in size, and China continues to be one of our most important trading partners and creditors. While China was not as adversely affected by the recent worldwide slowdown as many countries, questions have begun to arise as to whether the country can continue its recent successes in the face of rising wages and pressures from other emerging economics. This MTSE will explore many facets of this fascinating country. The first visit will be to Hong Kong, with its fascinating history spanning from ancient Chinese port to British colony to bustling modern metropolis. We will then travel to Beijing, China's political center and host of the 2008 Summer Olympics. While in Beijing we will visit the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. our next stop bill be in Xi'an, home of the fascinating Terra Cotta Warriors.

Travel to Cuba
Estimated Trip Cost: $3975
Travel Dates: May 13-28, 2014
Instructors: Christine Stracey, Frank Black
Prerequisites: Due to travel restrictions for U.S. Citizens in Cuba, only current degree-seeking Westminster undergraduates may participate in this MTSE and they must be taking the MTSE for credit.
Since the Cuban revolution ended in 1959, the US embargo of Cuba began in 1960, and the US backed Bay of Pigs invasion failed in 1961, Cuba has held a unique place both in the Western Hemisphere and in the American psyche. For many Americans this has resulted in the formation of a myriad of perceptions and misconceptions about Cuba, which in many cases are based on very little information or fact. This May Term Study Experience will provide students with a firsthand opportunity to evaluate their own perceptions of Cuba and confront their misconceptions of this Caribbean island nation through the lenses of environmental science, environmental policy, politico-economics, music, dance, and culture. Students will explore themes such as how the US embargo and the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in Cuba becoming a world leader in organic farming. During a visit to an organic farming collective, science will be paired with the political and economic reasons for this transition, with students learning about how organic farming and mechanized farming with fertilizers and pesticides differ in their impacts on soil chemistry and biology. Other themes will include the Cuban health care system, Cuba's numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites, and Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and the other charismatic leaders of the Cuban Revolution. We will also explore how Cuba's history has influenced its approach to environmental policy and conservation, then see the results of these efforts first hand when we visit land and marine national parks. Students will get to exchange world views with average Cubans, and compare this to impressions gained from our meetings with Cuban academics and artists in Havana. Students will also be immersed in the famous music and dance of Cuba, with multiple half- day Salsa and Rumba classes and opportunities for students to apply their new found skills under real world settings in Jazz and Salsa clubs. Visit the Cuba MTSE Blog for more information.

A second attempt by McHenry County prosecutors to convict Mario Casciaro of murdering a teenager who vanished in 2002 is likely to be tougher than the first time.
Their first try ended last year with a jury failing to determine whether Casciaro killed 17-year-old Brian Carrick in the Johnsburg grocery store where both worked, then disposed of his body.
Prosecutors get another chance when Casciaro's second murder trial begins Monday, but new legal problems involving star witness Shane Lamb and the unexpected death of another potential witness could make their task even more difficult.
And prosecutors still face the same challenge that hampered them during the January 2012 trial — convincing jurors that Carrick was slain even though his body was never found.
Only a few drops of his blood were discovered in a cooler and back hallway at Val's Foods after his disappearance Dec. 20, 2002.
"How do you prove someone's dead without a body? It can be done, but it's difficult," said retired Cook County Judge Sam Amirante, who's now in private practice.
Prosecutors in Casciaro's first trial relied largely on testimony from Lamb, a beefy felon who testified he was recruited in 2002 to help force Carrick to repay a small drug debt owed to Casciaro.
During a confrontation in the store cooler, Lamb testified he punched Carrick until the teen collapsed, then was ordered to leave by Casciaro — who never disclosed what happened after that.
But Lamb — who took a six-year prison term for an unrelated drug offense in return for his testimony — has offered different versions of that altercation. He also has a lengthy criminal history, which includes having his parole revoked last fall after being arrested following a bar fight.
In another, unusual twist following the first trial, Lamb was captured by security cameras talking to the 29-year-old Casciaro at a Lake County bar last summer.
Several witnesses to that conversation are expected to testify for Casciaro, though defense attorney Brian Telander declined to comment.
But he said a new trial should help Casciaro because Lamb and other prosecution witnesses already have their testimony locked in.
"I think re-trials are always good for the defense because all the prosecution witnesses are on paper," Telander said.

The Perfect Vacation Home
I searched for a long time before I found this house. There were eight of us and I needed at least 4 bedrooms. This house was perfect; the listing description is 100% accurate. The house is very well maintained, clean and loaded with amenities. The owner/manager is very nice. Whenever we had any questions she was always very prompt in responding. I highly recommend this house for your next family vacation. You will not be disappointed.
Great great stay!
We were 4 families with 3 kids vacationing during Thanksgiving weekend. This place was perfect for adults and kids. The house was very beautiful with spacious rooms. It was secluded enough to have our own privacy. We had a blast of a time. The owner Johan was very friendly. We had issues with internet and he mailed us the instructions the next day to reset it. Some minor things that can make the stay more better: 1. Restock kitchen supplies thoroughly: There was very little salt, sugar and oil for 10 people for 4 nights 2. Restock kitchen towels: We did not find extra and bought our own 3. Give internet instructions to property manager so they can assist when owner is not available To summarize, great stay, great play and a very friendly owner. Will stay here next time!

I've used these for the past two weeks and I have to say, the quality is noticeable. While people laud the smoothness for greater numbers of repetition, I noticed that these are easy to grip, even with a very sweaty hand. I would absolutely recommend these.

I must say, I was a little skeptical of these KB's given the price and the lack of reviews online and I was afraid of 'getting what you pay for' but I needed a set of 16KG's for my collection so I decided to try them. That said I am MORE than impressed with these kettlebells!! Fit and finish is excellent, flat bottoms, smooth handles, excellent balance (handle size and handle shape compared to the shape of the bell). I can't speak to the durability of the finish because I haven't used them that much yet, but for the price, who cares? All of my other 'high end name brand' bells have chipped finishes from hard work...but that is what black spray paint is for, right? I will recommend these bells to all people that are looking to take the plunge and want to buy a Kettlebell.

These kettlebells are impressive. The finish is extremely smooth, the handles are wonderfully fat, and the bottom of each kettlebell is totally flat. Many cheaper kettlebells have imperfections in the base, which makes movements like Renegade Rows dangerous and nearly impossible. My Kaizen 'bells arrived in three days after placing my order, and I live on the East coast. I will definitely purchase more Kaizen 'bells in the future. The following video compares different makes of 'bells (MuscleDriver, Dragon Door, Kaizen, and others), and you can see the quality of the Kaizen 'bell compared to others.

I've bought different kettlebells in the past. Some because they were the "name brand", others because they were the least expensive. These are by far the best kettlebells on the market, particularly if you are interested in high rep snatches. I recommend them to anyone looking for a great bell at a great price.

Arizona Highways: Gateway to an Inspiring Land>> Past Publishers and Editors
In the 1920s, as automobiles emerged as the preferred mode of transportation, states throughout the country developed magazines to let motorists know they had good graded — and even some paved — roads on which cars could travel enjoyably.
Arizona Highways was not the first of those state-run magazines, but it would become the best. Today Arizona Highways has readers in all 50 states and in two-thirds of the countries of the world.
"Nearly all of our subscribers have some acquaintance with Arizona," said former Editor Bob Early. "Many have lived here, or vacationed here, or done business here, or served in the military here or have relatives or friends here.
"Our readers love Arizona and all that it has to offer: the wide open spaces, the scenic beauty, the Old West history, the wilderness areas, the wildlife and so on.
"That's why we consider Arizona Highways 'the gateway to an inspiring land.' We tell the story of Arizona accurately and succinctly and with a come-visit-us attitude."
Arizona Highways was first published on April 15, 1925 by the engineers in the old Arizona Highway Department (now the Arizona Department of Transportation). From the very beginning the magazine contained travel stories and scenic photographs, although in the early years the photos were black and white.
The first issue had 26 pages, including advertisements, and ran a travelogue on the Phoenix to Yuma highway. The editor listed 17 other travelogues that the magazine would cover. One thousand copies were printed and they sold for 10 cents each.
Those early issues also contained page after page of details of road-building projects "to tell of the work being done by the Arizona Highway Department." To liven those pages the editor speckled them with cartoons, and thus helped promote the careers of such humorists as Hal Empie and Bill Mauldin, who later won a Pulitzer Prize for his illustrations of soldiers Willy and Joe during World War II.
Jokes became another ingredient of the magazine. Here's a sample of the jokes the magazine printed in 1925:
"Madam," said the leader of the kidnap gang, "we'll have to hold you until your husband pays the ransom."
"Oh dear," the woman replied, "I wish I would have treated him a little better."
So the magazine from its beginning had a sense of humor. But it mainly displayed a serious side. On the back cover of each issue in 1925, the editors ran a copy of the "The Highway Engineer's Creed," which said, in part: "I believe that my mission, as a highway engineer, is to assist in shaping and improving the highways of my country, in harmony with those who provide the vehicles which are their necessary complement, to the end that, joined with other means of transportation, they may meet the need of our people for easy, quick, and untrammeled transportation."
Those early issues, unlike today, ran editorials. In a May 1928 editorial the magazine complained:
"The road we build today with prospect of accommodating for the next decade, may be overburdened in two years instead.
"The automobile registration is growing faster than our highways and only radical and farsighted planning can succeed in catching up with this growth."
In March 1929 an editorial titled, "Are Horns Necessary?" argued automobile horns only benefited speeders and other lawbreakers. It advocated a car-to-car buzzer system to alert other motorists of a driver's intention to turn or to stop, and noted: "Sounds silly - but no more silly than sending your photograph by telephone."
In 1938, amidst the throes of the Great Depression, came Raymond Carlson, a recent graduate of Stanford University, looking for work. He found it as editor (and only staff member) of Arizona Highways. He became the first nonengineer to run the magazine and its sixth editor. That same year he recruited George Avey as the magazine's first art director. Together, they built Arizona Highways into the foremost magazine of its type in the world, a position it continues to hold today.
Carlson and Avey would head the magazine into the early 1970s.
The two expanded the use of scenic photography by recruiting freelance photographers. Carlson would look over a photographer's work, gather a pile of photos that he liked and then agree to pay the photographer $5 each time he used one in the magazine. That was big money in those days.
Among those he recruited that way was Esther Henderson, a young dancer-turned-photographer from New York, who had set up a photo studio in Tucson. She became one of the artistic pillars that underpinned the magazine's reputation for outstanding landscape photography. She later married photographer Chuck Abbott who also became a frequent contributor to the magazine.
Although most of the pictures were black and white, Carlson looked ahead to using color photographs. The first color photo (of lower Oak Creek Canyon taken by Norman G. Wallace) appeared on the cover of the July 1938 issue. "How can we, through the medium of black and white, paint a picture of the gold in an Arizona sunset, portray the blue of an Arizona sky, tell the fiery red and green of an Arizona desert in bloom?" Carlson wrote. "We therefore resort to color photography in this issue's cover page to faithfully portray one colorful portion of the state."
Working closely with its vendors, Arizona Highways became a pioneer in color printing technology. Regular issues of full-color photography (a 16-page portfolio of Arizona canyons) began in January 1944 under the direction of Bert Campbell, who served as interim editor while Carlson served in the Army during World War II.
The lead photograph in that portfolio was by Josef Muench, the German gardener who became one of the world's leading landscape photographers and a frequent and prolific contributor to Arizona Highways for more than 50 years. Josef's son, David Muench, followed in his father's footsteps to become among the world's great landscape photographers and continues to contribute to Arizona Highways today. Josef's grandson and David's son, Marc Muench, also has become a great landscape photographer whose work appears in the magazine as well.
In December of 1946, Arizona Highways published the first all-color issue of a nationally circulated consumer magazine. But the all-color format did not become standard until the January 1986 issue.
From its beginning, the magazine was supported by annual appropriations from the State Legislature, from magazine sales and from advertising revenues. But in 1938, the old Arizona Highway Commission adopted a resolution banning advertising from the magazine. It said it believed that pitting a state agency against a private company for advertising dollars constituted unfair competition. No paid advertising has been in the magazine since.
And there has been no legislative appropriation or direct tax support of the magazine since 1982. The magazine operates on the funds it earns from the sales of magazines, books, calendars and other products.
Ansel Adams, who worked mainly in black and white photography, also was a frequent contributor in those early years and his color photography may have appeared first in Arizona Highways.
Another outstanding contributor during the past 40 years or so was Jerry Jacka, who, with his wife Lois, a writer, team to bring to life the artistry of Indian jewelry, weavings, basket making and pottery. For decades the Jackas told the world through the pages of the magazine about the best of the Indian artisans.
The tradition of those photographers continues today with the superb photographic work of people like Jack Dykinga, Nick Berezenko, George Stocking, Tom Danielsen, Willard Clay, Larry Ulrich, Rick Danley, Kerrick James, Gary Ladd, Edward McCain, Robert McDonald, Chuck Lawsen, Randy Prentice, Laurence Parent, Bernadette Heath, Peter Nobles, Larry Lindhal, Rick Odell, Tom Till, Don Stevenson, George H. H. Huey, Jerry Sieve, David Elms, David Smith and dozens more.
Another photographer, Frank Zullo, specializes in the colors of evening twilight and of the night sky. The magazine also benefits from the wildlife photography of Marty Cordano, Robert Campbell and Paul Berquist.
Navajo photographers LeRoy DeJolie and Monty Roessel provide photos of remote areas of the tribal lands that very few people ever see.
And then there are the aerial photographers: Michael Collier, who sees the Arizona landscape from a geologist's eye, and Adriel Heisey, who built his own ultralight airplane that he pilots himself to get a raven's view of the state's multifaceted terrain.
In the early years Editor Carlson and Art Director Avey, whose son Gary edited the magazine in the early 1980s, acted as the photo editors. But as the magazine grew and became more sophisticated, full-time photography editors were hired. Peter Ensenberger, who joined the magazine in 1984 as its Photo Editor and now is Director of Photography, has been with the magazine longer than any other editorial employee. His efforts have enabled the magazine to seek out the very best of the landscape photographers and to elevate the use of photos in the magazine to a fine art. Ensenberger oversees all the photography demands of the organizations, including books, calendars, stationery and other products. Working with Ensenberger as Photo Editor is Jeff Kida, who spent years shooting for the magazine before joining the staff in 2006. Kida replaced the former Photo Editor Richard Maack, who was responsible for generating much of the archive photography content at arizonahighways.com.
De Grazia"s work, a series of paintings portraying "Mexico and the simple people," first appeared in the magazine in February 1941. Carlson called De Grazia "a very sincere person, and one of who you may someday hear much." For the next 40 years or so De Grazia's work regularly appeared in the magazine, even after his death in 1982. He was 73 and had built a worldwide reputation.
Today, his paintings are in prints, lithographs and books and they decorate all manner of things, including greeting cards, collector plates, wind-bells and even refrigerator magnets. De Grazia's Gallery of the Sun in Tucson continues to display his work.
Carlson agreed and said to Toschik, "Can you work up about a four-page spread? Write the text and we'll use these drawings."
"But I've never written anything," Toschik replied.
"Don't worry," Carlson said. "I know you can do it." And he was right. The four-page spread developed into an 11-page feature in the March 1967 issue.
"It changed my life," Toschik said, because buyers clamored for his artwork, establishing his artistic career.
Then there's the story of Lone Wolf, the artist son of a Blackfoot woman and Anglo Old West author Willard Schultz. Lone Wolf spent winters and springs painting in Greer and Tucson. His paintings became so popular by the early 1900s that galleries across the country displayed them, but they never appeared in Arizona Highways.
In a May 24, 1942 letter, Lone Wolf wrote to Ross Santee, a longtime illustrator for the magazine, "I wish I could get some of my works in Arizona Highways, but I don't think I am good enough."
Finally, long after Lone Wolf died, the magazine published one of his paintings, called "Night Stampede," in January 2000, during the magazine's 75th anniversary year.
Another artist who contributed greatly to the magazine was Bill Ahrendt. His 16-part "Cavalcade" series of historical paintings between May 1987 and February 1990 are among the magazine's most remembered illustrations.
Art DirectorsFor a magazine that maintains a worldwide reputation for design quality, it is remarkable that Arizona Highways has had only three art directors. The first, George Avey, served from 1937 to 1972. He set the design standards that propelled the magazine into prominence after World War II. But after he retired, no one was appointed to replace him for 10 years. The editors made the major design decisions.
Then in 1982, Gary Bennett, who had been doing freelance design work at the direction of the editors, was named art director. Under his leadership, the magazine won scores of design awards from peer professional organizations.
In 1995, Bennett resigned to pursue work as an illustrator and was succeeded by Christine Mitchell, then Mary Velgos. The current art director is Barbara Denney, who has continued the award-winning design style of the magazine.

A lot of bad things have come "from the mind of M. Night Shyamalan," but we feel it's safe to say that this one came straight from his colon. What is there to say about The Last Airbender that isn't already said by its Rotten Tomatoes rating of 6%? A whole lot, as it turns out. It's becoming apparent that the true genius of M. Night is finding a way to make the wrong creative decision at any given moment. Dialogue, casting, music cues, every choice in the film suggests that the once-acclaimed director has given up Alfred Hitchcock as his inspiration, and replaced him with a certain T. Wiseau. And, frankly, we couldn't be happier. But, Mr. Shyamalan: we worked with Tommy Wiseau, we know Tommy Wiseau, and you, sir, are no Tommy Wiseau.
Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for The Last Airbender, the most disappointing adaptation of a beloved franchise since Mario Brothers 3: Luigi Buys Some Eggs.

Lesser Known Stocks With Quality Dividends
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
If any of you have been paying attention to my columns over the last few months you know that I'm a big fan of dividends. When I had a brokerage a while back – before I retired from the life – I was a strong proponent that my clients maintain at least some of their investments in stocks with a high dividend yield instead of having it all in mutual funds or bonds. Both have their place in a portfolio, of course, but there should also be room to get both growth and income out of an investment, especially for older investors with a limited time horizon until retirement.
However, there can be a bewildering array of choices. And sometimes the most obvious ones aren't always the best. Sure, a broker can point you at some stocks that will pay a consistent 2 or 3% yield, and that's great. But what about when you have some money that you'd like to see return a little more income than that? Some stock that will provide a little more cash return instead of growth. That's when you should widen your search outside the usual boundaries and hit some of these stocks.
In the column, and a subsequent one, I'm going to be focusing on stocks with a high dividend yield that aren't the usual names you see pop up in investment advisors' windows. Stocks you might need to bring up to your broker and see what they have to say. Or, do the research yourself and see where it leads you.

An interesting stock, Box Ships provides … well … shipping. It takes containers from one port to another and thereby provides the lubrication for international business development. Hello globalization! The firm doesn't have a lot of ships, relatively speaking, but it does make money with the ones it has, so there's that to look at.
In 2011 the firm had an operating margin of 45%. Get used to that number. The market cap on the firm is only $89 million, but it's making a great return and paying a 15.97% dividend. I don't know too many places you can get your hands on that sort of return. The stock suffers a bit with the company being based in Greece. Troubles there provide an unsteady platform for the company and make it a less attractive buy than it would be if it were based in England or France.
Portugal Telecom (NYSE: PT)
While I know there will be objections to this pick due to it's location in troubled Europe, there's a lot more to Portugal Telecom than you'd know from the name. It's the largest telecom provider in Portugal, sure. But it also provides service to Brazil, the PRC and a host of nations in the developing world. It provides telephone and mobile service, as well as other products, around the world. With a market cap of more than $4 billion it can look small to medium on the scale of some telecoms, but it does well.
The stock has climbed 31.4% since June 1, 2012 on a fairly steady curve. Peaks and valleys, sure, but overall steadily up. Combine that with its habit of a once-per-year dividend with a yield of 16.28% and the fact that the stock is around $5 per share, and you've got a keeper if you feel like holding an international telecom with a third-world presence.
Navios Maritime Partners (NYSE: NMM)
A part of Navios Maritime Holdings, NMP specializes is shipping bulk goods from producers to the places those resources – such as iron ore, coal and grains – can be refined into value-added goods. Another Greek firm, so the same warning applies here as above: Political instability can provide a real headache for investors. Make sure you have the stomach for that sort of thing before investing.
Still, this is another stock with an operating margin of 46% last year (even higher in Q4). There's a lot to like, here. Since late 2008, the stock has grown from $3.36 to $13.61 so that's a win for holders. Toss in that the firm has grown its dividend five times over that span to a yield of 13.01% and you might have something there. Invest, be cautious, but it's a good thing.
Windstream Corporation (NASDAQ: WIN)
A more mainstream company that most serious investors should have heard of, I found that this one still flew under the radar of most of my clients. Windstream provides telecom services inside the U.S. as well as providing broadband and other communications to rural consumers. It's an interesting market for them to be in.
The firm posted a 19% operating margin its last fiscal year and a 15% margin in Q3 of last year, so there's money being made. Combine that with a dividend yield of 11.45% and a low stock price (about $8.73 while I write) and it looks like you could do well, here. The stock has been either flat or trending slightly downward on fears that it is in too deep on landlines instead of mobile telecom, but there's still some value here.
Memorial Production Partners (NASDAQ: MEMP)
A new stock, MEMP was formed by a parent, Memorial Resource, to try to own and exploit oil and natural gas resources in the U.S. and elsewhere. The stock only came into existence in late 2011, so there's not a long track record here. It's also been busy making acquisitions of proven resources in Southern California and Texas from other, more established providers.
The stock is all over the place, honestly. It's generally been around $18 per share but it's been as high as $20.50 and as low as $15.98. Still, I don't find that too wide a spread for a firm that's both in start-up acquisition mode and is paying a dividend yield of 10.99%. I'd rather have this than Facebook. At least I know where this firm plans to make its money.
Dividends are, to most investors, a good thing. Combining a stock's potential for growth with a proven record of a cash return – which you can keep or reinvest at your discretion – should be a steady way forward for a buy-and-hold investor--which is what I hope you all are. Stick with good, solid stocks that pay dividends and you're building the basis of a solid, enhanced portfolio.
Good luck!

Higher Rise

I have a shorter torso, so when I wear these they have a higher rise on me. It's great for down dog or layering under my harness.
prAna Lolita Pant - love the length
Aaron Finley
Member since
I am 5'9, 130 lb so I purchased the black size small and I was thrilled with the long length! These pants are comfortable, easy to move in and flattering. Definitely a great buy for tall girls!
Member since
What size do you normally wear, may I ask? I am 5'9 145 pounds, normally wear a 6 and was leaning towards ordering a medium. What do you think?
Aaron Finley
Member since
Sarakat: Size 4. I think you're right - I'd recommend trying size medium.
great pants
Member since
I'm 5'8", 125lb and wear a 33" inseam. These fit so perfectly. It is so hard to find pants that are long enough. I wish these were available in black.
Yes, too long, but very comfy
mary clor
Member since
As other reviewers have stated, these pants have a very long inseam. I am 5'6" and ended up just cutting 2 inches off the bottom. This kind of fabric does not fray, but the end may curl a little. I don't care because these are super comfy, and of a hefty enough material that I feel confident wearing the without being too exposed.
Too long!
Member since
I'm 5'9 and usually have problems with pants being too short for me. I generally wear a 33-34 inseam and and thought these would be perfect. Unfortunately they were way too long! Otherwise they are very flattering, slimming pants. Sadly sending them back though
Thin fabric, too long
Member since
These pants were sort of cute, but the fabric was very thin and length way too long for me (I am 5'4" and ordered XS). The quality was just lacking.
Wonderful quality!
Member since
I love, love, love these pants! They are the right color of black, nice and long and have a slimming effect as well as a nice wasteband. The fabric is high quality and fits snuggly on the thights to keep "stuff" from jiggling - very well worth the price. I am 5'8 at 160 pounds (losing weight as I type) and bought a medium. I hope this helps everyone.
not quite right
Member since
These were a little snugger than I like. I returned them and bought same size in a different Prana pant that was slightly looser. I liked material and a good length.
Long inseem!
Emmy Paget
Member since
Finally a pair of pants that are long enough. The length in the L and XL is long enough for someone who is 5 foot 11. Also they are very comfortable and have a slimming appearance.

The Lolita (available in both pant and Capri versions) features a flat, high waistband with an offset stitching detail that stays put during downward dogs and flatters the stomach line. Its long straight cut provides a sleek, lean look that makes the wearer seem a bit taller. Both the top and pant are made from a durable, moisture-wicking blend of spandex and recycled polyester prAna calls Chakara fabric.

Community Update
Local Partners Study Mobile Support for DC Tobacco Quitline
A partnership of organizations in Washington, DC, will explore how effectively new media tools help District residents quit smoking. The American Legacy Foundation's Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies received nearly $980,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to carry out a randomized controlled trial to study the effectiveness of Mobile Quitline Enhancement (MQE), an Internet-based mobile phone technology to be provided through the DC Tobacco Quitline.
The quitline provides free support to those who want to stop smoking and are motivated to seek cessation services. Currently, resources include a series of five phone counseling sessions and an 8-week course of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), in either lozenge or patch form. MQE services are designed to assist quitline counselors, giving users the opportunity to share real-time information about their quit attempt through daily assessments. This provides counselors with accurate and timely data between phone sessions, allowing them to tailor their intervention.
Approximately 800 quitline callers will be selected to take part in the trial. Of these, 500 participants will be randomly assigned to receive mobile phones equipped with MQE software and Internet access, allowing them to send updates on factors such as cravings and potential lapses directly to a quitline database. The other 300 participants will receive standard quitline services.
The study will compare the two groups to evaluate MQE's impact on cessation rates. It will also examine whether MQE users choose to use cessation support resources more often than MQE nonusers, and whether differences in NRT use impact overall cessation outcomes.
MQE will allow counselors to save time spent on detailed discussions of users' smoking behavior during the weeks between calls to the quitline, since the system provides counselors with specific information about their clients' ongoing progress with cessation. It will also allow counselors to provide customized support based on each participant's behavior.
Dr. Thomas Kirchner, an investigator at the Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies, will lead the initiative. He points out that Web-based mobile technologies hold tremendous potential to address the challenges quitters face during smoking cessation.
"It is important for cessation-support services to take situational circumstances into account. Mobile devices enable existing systems to do precisely that—to consider momentary circumstances," Dr. Kirchner said. "They provide tailored relapse prevention support wherever and whenever it happens. One way to think about these devices is that they are a distress beacon the user can activate to receive support."
The American Legacy Foundation will collaborate on this project with the DC Department of Health, DC Cancer Consortium, American Lung Association of DC Tobacco Free Families Initiative, and the Georgetown University Lombardi Health Disparities Initiative.
"This project spearheads a new local partnership that is totally focused on improving health outcomes among underserved DC residents," said Dr. Kirchner. "We're excited to work hand-in-hand with local partners. We are all working to sustain these systems well past the ARRA window," he explained.
Ashley Ross, tobacco control program manager at the DC Department of Health, agreed. "We're excited about this opportunity on a number of levels. Any opportunity to increase effectiveness and help more people quit is something we want to do. It really helps us crack the code for how we can continue to offer effective, sustainable cessation services," Ms. Ross said.
"[MQE] provides a unique protocol for the underserved smoker," said Debra Annand, lead advisor for the American Lung Association of DC and for the quitline. "We plan to assess how these extra interventions can improve quit attempts for underserved and underinsured smokers."
Smoking prevalence varies across the city—from as low as 10 percent in Ward 3 to as high as 26 percent in Ward 8. Overall, smoking prevalence is much higher in Wards 5 through 8; and it is here where the majority of the quitline's outreach is focused, and where residents also generally have lower socioeconomic status. The quitline addresses this disparity and tailors services to meet the needs of those individuals.
Ms. Ross notes that MQE technology could have implications for these communities beyond this study. "We can start to think about the quitline less as a destination, and more as a vehicle. We are reaching communities most in need, connecting with them and helping them build their own capacity—not just with cessation but also with other risk behaviors."

Dec 26, 2013, 9:00 PM EDT
The days are ticking away until the 2014 NHL Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium.
According to NHL.com, crews returned to the stadium Thursday to clean snow off the ice surface, before further preparations to the ice could continue. The Winter Classic goes between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings on Jan. 1.
"We're definitely on schedule," NHL Facilities Operations Manager Dan Craig told the league's website. "The weather hasn't been a hindrance at all. Today was basically scheduled as a clean-up day."

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate on Thursday approved the most sweeping changes to immigration law in nearly three decades, offering up to 11 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship while spending tens of billions on a massive security buildup along the southern border with Mexico.
The momentous vote, emphasized by a 68-32 majority that included 14 Republicans, is a sign of how far immigration reform has come since the last attempt collapsed in 2007. But the triumph appears fleeting. The GOP-controlled House has signaled strong opposition to the bill.
The scrambled dynamic held for the man in the spotlight, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who helped write the bill and bring along fellow Republicans but who has also become maligned by conservatives who saw him as the next president.
Increasingly, on TV, conservative talk radio and social media, Rubio has been cast as a sellout, liar and flip-flopper. This was the 2010 candidate who in a debate declared that "earned path to citizenship is basically code for amnesty." The bill passed Thursday has an earned path, requiring immigrants to pay taxes, fines and wait at least a decade before getting permanent residency.
Conservative commentator Erick Erickson wrote this week that Rubio had moved a step closer to a Charlie Crist-like hug of President Barack Obama.
"He's really hurt himself with the tea party," said Ron Kirby, 68, of Alexandria, Va., who stood outside the Capitol in protest of the immigration bill Thursday, echoing criticism that it does not adequately secure the border while giving amnesty to immigrants who broke the law.
After the vote, the bipartisan group of senators who crafted the bill declared victory and said the vote would pressure the House to take action. But Rubio was a no-show.
While the damage is measurable — a Washington Post/ABC News poll this week showed Rubio's favorability rating among Republicans has slid 11 points since August 2012 — it's too soon to know if it is enduring.
Rubio's involvement in a complex issue has brought him praise, from even some of the Republicans who voted against the bill, and added heft to a résumé that until now has featured rhetorical grace over legislative accomplishment.
"I don't have any idea how long any of the negative repercussions might last," said Dana Perino, a Republican consultant and Fox News commentator.
"What I've admired is that he consistently has stayed on the merits, calm and collected, regardless of some of the vile things people have said about him. We can't expect our elected leaders to always vote the way we personally would. If that was the case, our system wouldn't work. We have to trust that they will make the best decisions as they call them."
In a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, Rubio directly addressed the fallout among conservatives, calling it a "real trial for me." But unlike his dithering in past weeks — moves that annoyed Gang of 8 colleagues — he made a forceful case for why he felt the bill was necessary, emphasizing even more border security that was added to the bill with Rubio's help.
"In my heart and in my mind, I know that we must solve this problem once and for all, or it will only get worse. It will only get harder to solve," Rubio said.
He followed it with a five-page open letter to conservatives that began, "Dear friends."
On Thursday, Rubio went for an emotional strike, telling the story of his Cuban-born parents' early struggles to make it in America; the paper his father carried around that read "I am looking for work."
They were some of the first English words his father learned, Rubio said, providing new detail in a family story that has been the heart of speeches from his time in the Florida House to his rise as a national figure.
"Sometimes, we focus so much on how immigrants could change America, that we forget that America changes immigrants even more," said Rubio, 42.
Not long after, senators entered the chamber and sat at their desks for the vote, presided over by Vice President Joe Biden. Rubio rose, buttoned his jacket and added his "aye." The no votes from other potential 2016 presidential candidates, Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas, did not go unnoticed.
The pitfalls were clear to Rubio and his political advisors when he decided to jump into the debate and join the Gang of 8. He had a strategy: Flood the conservative airwaves and news columns to talk about the bill, disarming critics with his accessibility and personality. It wasn't a clear success but the tone has been markedly less heated than 2007, a shift that also owes to the GOP establishment's desire to improve its standing with a growing Hispanic electorate.
Rubio's record otherwise is decidedly conservative, opposing budget deals and calling for the repeal of the healthcare law. "He's with us on most issues," Kirby said. "Of course we don't know how this immigration thing will turnout. If it's killed, a lot of people will forget and move on. That's the way he comes back."
The same Washington Post poll that showed Rubio's standing among Republicans had fallen showed gains among Democrats. The bipartisan stripes he has earned could be a calling card in a future campaign. Rubio says he won't decide whether to run for president until next year.
He and his political team seem to have calculated he can outlast any short-term political fallout.
"He's proven he's not an ideologue," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a Gang of 8 member. "He's using his political capital for the common good. … This will only enhance him."
