CU-Boulder students help create NASA's hit 'Gangnam Style' parody

Font Resize 2 students in Houston for co-op program at space centerBy Mitchell Byars Camera Staff Writerdailycamera.comPosted: 12/19/2012 03:29:24 PM MSTDecember 19, 2012 10:33 PM GMTUpdated: 12/19/2012 03:32:25 PM MST

Just when it seemed like the "Gangnam Style" phenomenon couldn't get any bigger, the dance craze has even made its way to outer space. Well, sort of.

A student co-op group at NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center -- which includes two University of Colorado students -- made and starred in a parody video of Korean pop-star Psy's YouTube dance hit that has found its own viral success.

CU junior Chris Nie, who was part of the student co-op at the Johnson Space Center and is in the clip, said the video took off within minutes of being uploaded Friday. At last check, the video had more than 1.9 million views and was fast approaching 2 million.

"It was nuts," Nie said. "We had like a world-premiere type deal at the Johnson

Berkeley Supply offers American-made goods for guys

Eli P. Cox, 26, opened Berkeley Supply menswear store specializing in American-made goods.

It might be surprising in other cities, but in Denver the idea of a menswear store in the middle of a bicycle shop doesn't seem odd.

Which is why it made perfect sense for Eli Cox to create his own little retail patch sandwiched between Avery County Cycles and Pearl Velo at the corner of Tennyson Street and West 43rd Avenue in northwest Denver's lively Berkeley neighborhood.

Berkeley Supply, which opened earlier this month, specializes in American-made clothing and accessories. Red Wing leather boots, Filson ranch coats, Rogue Territory jeans, Taylor Stitch shirts and TinMan Provisions leather goods are some of the lines the store is selling. The merchandise has a workwear vibe, but feels a little more refined than strictly utilitarian brands like Dickies or Carhartt.

"This is all stuff that I wear and believe in," says Cox, 26. Supporting American companies is one way of rebuilding the economy and creating jobs, he maintains. He's also a stickler for quality and wants the store to be branded as a "purveyor of goods that last."

When he buys a jacket, he says, "I want it to last 40 years."

Cox said he learned retail lessons at Ted's Shoe & Sport in Keene, N.H. , where he grew up. The activewear retailer instilled in him a passion for customer service.

After getting a degree in marketing and advertising at Johnson & Wales in Denver, Cox worked in the restaurant business locally as a waiter and manager, but kept thinking about retail. He wanted to open a store a couple of years ago but couldn't find the right spot.

After talking this fall with his friends who own the bike stores, he decided to carve a retail space out of the 168 square feet they didn't need.

"I love this neighborhood," Cox says of Berkeley. "It's a great combination of old-school businesses and new ones. I live here and work here." In addition to running the store, he works nights nearby at Hops & Pie.

While tiny, the space is carefully merchandised with clothing and accessories and such artwork as snowy scenes of Cox's native New Hampshire. The center table was made by his father, who has an architectural woodworking company, and you can't help notice the very male choice of display pieces: rusted vintage chainsaws.

He didn't use them to cut the wood that's neatly stacked in one corner of the shop, but likes the effect just the same. "It's the real deal," he says.

Colorado school-based health centers receive $1 million in grants

Font ResizeThe Denver Postdenverpost.comPosted: 12/19/2012 09:23:30 PM MSTDecember 20, 2012 4:25 AM GMTUpdated: 12/19/2012 09:23:35 PM MST

Three Colorado school-based health centers received more than $1 million in competitive grant funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday.

Sen. Mark Udall congratulated the Durango School District 9-R, Denver Health Medical Center and Commerce City Community Health Services for receiving the funds.

The grants are issued under the School-Based Health Center Capital Program, and are designed to help schools and other entities improve and expand its school-based health centers.

Denver Health Medical Center received $500,000, Durango School District 9-R received $485,265 and the Commerce City Community Health Services received $36,985.

"These competitive grants will help improve school-based clinics in Denver, Durango and Commerce City, giving students more access to preventive and primary health care services," Udall said in a statement. "Keeping our children healthy from day one is an important way to ensure students are productive in the classroom and that we catch health problems early when they are most affordable and easiest to treat."

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius awarded more than $80 million to 197 school-based health center programs across the country, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' website. The funding is expected to help health centers serve an additional 384,000 students and continue the expansion of preventive and primary health care services.

School-based health centers are designed to help children with acute or chronic illnesses attend school and improve screenings and disease prevention activities. They typically combine primary care, mental health care, substance abuse counseling, dental health and other treatments.

Owner of Colorado Springs pawn shop arrested in string of burglaries

Font ResizeThe Denver Postdenverpost.comPosted: 12/19/2012 09:22:32 PM MSTDecember 20, 2012 4:34 AM GMTUpdated: 12/19/2012 09:34:44 PM MST

Authorities arrested the co-owner of a Colorado Springs pawn shop who they believe is connected to multiple burglaries in El Paso County.

On Wednesday, El Paso County Sheriff deputies were called to the 700 block of Wildridge Road in Black Forest, on a report of an attempted burglary, according to a news release from the sheriff's department.

After arriving, a woman told deputies that the side door to her garage had been kicked in. Soon after, the woman saw a man run away. The woman gave deputies a description of a car she believed the suspect drove away in.

Before authorities completed investigating the first attempted burglary, they received a report about a separate burglary in the 7900 block of Forest Heights Circle. Several items were stolen from the home, including collector's coins and jewelry.

Soon after, deputies spotted a vehicle that matched the first victim's description traveling near Black Forest. They stopped the vehicle and quickly recognized that items inside the vehicle matched the list of items stolen from the second victim's home.

The driver was identified as 43-year-old Kevin Lee Mosher, co-owner of the Fast Cash Pawn and Loan in Colorado Springs.

While speaking with Mosher, deputies were told about a third burglary in the 15000 block of Milhaven Place. Evidence found at that location was later linked to Mosher. A fourth burglary in Black Forest was also attributed to Mosher.

Authorities later learned that Mosher may also be connected to additional burglaries in Douglas County. Stolen items were recovered from Mosher's pawn shop in Colorado springs.

Mosher was taken into custody and booked into the Criminal Justice Center on suspicion of second-degree burglary and theft.
