64268 Frazier 2018 Annual Report.Indd annual report | 2018 our VISION We will be the first choice for those seeking residential and health ▲▲▲ care services and for employees committed to serving them. We will continue to contribute to the health, happiness, and well-being of seniors through innovation, expansion of quality care, and support for our members and the greater community. letter from THE PRESIDENT & CHAIRMAN TIMOTHY A. JOHNSON JAMES R. TOPPING Greetings! It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 Frasier Annual Report. In the pages that follow, you’ll learn about the highlights of the past year and find data, pictures and stories that will give you more insight. The unifying theme, Onward, is apparent throughout this report and our 2018 year. Mary Church Terrell stated, “And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go, struggling and striving, and hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition ere long.” This quote resonates with our many accomplishments of the year – all while undergoing construction of our massive Master Plan expansion. Many construction projects were completed in 2018. The construction of The Prairies, our new 98-apartment independent living building, The Canyons Center at Frasier, the Wellness Center expansion, and the building of and refurbishment of dining venues, continued at a fast pace throughout 2018. To complement these projects and have cohesiveness throughout campus, our very engaged resident focus group led by Frasier staff developed a naming strategy/theme of “Colorado geographic features” for our buildings and service areas. Frasier also remains financially strong with positive cash flow, an extraordinary large amount of days cash on hand, high occupancies, and a wait list of over 400. Additionally, residents, staff and the community gave over $447,000 to Frasier philanthropy to enhance our robust programs for residents and staff. We look onward to the year ahead as we continue to advance Frasier’s mission of helping seniors enjoy independent and fulfilling lives. Sincerely, Timothy A. Johnson James R.

    FRASIER: A CULTURAL HISTORY Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2017 ROBERT MURTAGH Universidad de Almería [email protected] 177 Part of independent publisher Rowman & Littlefield’s “Cultural History of Television” series that (according to their website) “will focus on iconic television shows” from the 1950s to the present that have had a lasting impact on world culture, Frasier: A Cultural History joins a collection of extant publications on defining sitcoms such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Star Trek. The authors of the text in question, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski, are self-confessed Frasier fans with a background in different ambits of cultural study (the former as editor of the “Ages of Superheroes” essay series and author of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor: Race and Gender in the Comic Books and the latter having researched the history of decorative arts and design). Above all, they share a mutual appreciation for all things Crane. From a structural perspective, the book is divided into two parts: “Part I: Making A Classic” and “Part II: Under Analysis”. Each section is further subdivided into four separate topics. The first deals with: the evolution of Cheers to the emergence of Frasier Crane; the story behind the eclectic cast; character profiles of Frasier, Niles, Martin and Eddy; and finally, a discussion of Daphne and Roz. The second part, as the name suggests, is more academically inclined with chapters examining ongoing character development in the Crane household; an in-depth look at Frasier’s apartment from structural and aesthetic perspectives, as well as in contrast to Niles’s home at the Montana; an analysis of set decoration, particularly chairs; and lastly, the representation of women, gender and race.

  • The Three Cs Model of Product Placement Effects Cristel Antonia
    The Consumer, The Character and The Consumed: The Three Cs Model of Product Placement Effects Cristel Antonia Russell and Barbara B. Stern 1 The Consumer, The Character and The Consumed: The Three Cs Model of Product Placement Effects ... product placements act as implied celebrity endorsements. Whatever an actor is seen using or driving is seen as a statement of preference and choice (Marshall, 2001, www.normmarshall.com). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of product placements in television serial comedies on consumer attitudes. We draw from Heider's balance theory (1946, 1958) to explain the attitudinal effects of placed products on consumers in terms of a triadic relationship between consumer viewers of a sitcom, characters in it, and products that the characters use. The theory, originally developed in social psychology, was based on the assumption that humans have a preference for harmonious situations in which the relations in a triad composed of a person, another person, and an object is balanced when "all three of the relations are positive or when two of the relations are negative and one is positive" (Heider 1958, p. 202). Heider (1958) and later Osgood and Tannenbaum (1955) identified two types of relations (1958): liking refers to a person’s degree of positive or negative evaluation of something or someone and unit refers to the level of association between a person and another person or object, based, for example, on similarity, causality or ownership. A basic assumption of this theory is that liking relations and unit relations are mutually interdependent and tend toward a balanced state.

    The Anderson School at UCLA POL 2003-7 Fox Entertainment Group (A): Vertical Integration in the Television Industry Copyright © 2003 by the Regents of the University of California. Daniel Granof (MBA candidate ’03) pre- pared this case under the supervision of Professor Olav Sorenson for the purpose of facilitating class dis- cussion, rather than illustrating either effective or ineffective handling of a business situation. Fox Television Network In 1985 Rupert Murdoch, after acquiring the Twentieth Century Fox studio for a total of $575 million through his holding company, News Corporation (NewsCorp), decided to start a fourth broadcast network on the advice of Barry Diller, the highly sought-after ex- ecutive recently recruited to Fox from industry leader Paramount Studios. NewsCorp purchased Metromedia from media mogul John Kluge, gaining control of seven key in- dependent TV stations in several large East Coast cities and Los Angeles. Fox quickly lined up 88 additional independent stations to become its network affiliates and launched the Fox Television Network in 1986. Initially the network reached only 60% of the coun- try and aired original network programming only one night a week, on Sunday. Everyone in the industry thought Diller and Murdoch crazy. At the time the big three networks had a combined television viewing share of 93%. To attract viewers away from them, Fox chose to go after two key demographics: youth, a group coveted by advertis- ers, and African-Americans. As Diller said, “We had to air shows that demanded your attention, that yanked you by the throat to get you to change the channel.”1 Peter Chernin, a loyal executive who would eventually become Murdoch’s second in command, concurred: “We’re in the attention-getting business.

    Custer County Sheriff’s Office Shooting Summary Detailing Events That Took Place on January 3rd, 2021 On 01-03-21, the Custer County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) requested the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) investigate an officer-involved shooting that occurred at 811 Montgomery Street, Custer, SD. The suspect, Jared Frasier, was shot three times by a Custer County Sheriff’s Deputy, hereinafter referred to as Deputy. As a result of the shooting, Frasier suffered life threatening injuries. The following is a synopsis of the events that occurred on 01- 03-21, and the investigation that was conducted by the DCI. Synopsis At approximately 9:16 PM on 01-03-21, Custer County Dispatch received a 911 call from a female who said she needed help now, provided an address of 811 Montgomery Street and ended the call. At approximately 9:17 PM, a Custer County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on scene and approached the residence on foot. The Deputy heard possible yelling from within the residence. The Deputy knocked on the door and made contact with an adult female and a juvenile male. The adult female escorted the Deputy into the residence. A juvenile male immediately got on the ground as if he expected to get caught in possible crossfire. The juvenile male then made his way into his bedroom, which was the first door to the left within the residence. The adult female called for Frasier as she and the Deputy approached Frasier’s bedroom door. Frasier exited the bedroom with a handgun in his right hand and the adult female told him to put it away.
