The conspiracy began in Feb. 1995 when the National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) pressed the music distributors to reverse the trend toward lower retail prices for recorded music. The dis Utah is one of 30 states and territories who filed suit in federal court r in New York City alleging price fixing conspiracy by the nations largest distributors of prerecorded music and a group of large retail music giants. The suit names as defendants five of the largest record labels and music distributors and three ofthe largest music retailers in the country. The companies are charged with an unlawful scheme to stop other retail outlets such as Best Buy, Circuit City, and Target from offering musical deep discounts. The scheme, begun in 1995, raised the retail prices of compact discs (CDs), cassettes, and albums by forcing retailers to advertise higher prices or lose millions of dollars in p advertising payments from the distributors. The purpose of the illegal agreements was to raise retail prices and reduce retail price competition which threatened high profit margins for the distributors and retailers. I n response to the huge popularity of discount music retailers in the early 1990s, some music retailers and their trade association pressured the large music distributors to impose minimum advertised pricing (MAP) policies. The MAP policies had the effect of establishing the retail price at which CDs could be sold and included such severe punishments tliat discount retailers no longer could sell CDs below the retail prices set fay the distributors. The agreements to impose MAP not only reduced retail price eompe- tition for aelleri ofCDs, but had the; . effect of increasing the retail price, paid by consumers for many CDs. Prices for CDs had been dropping, but soon after the conspiracy was agreed upon, prices were stabilized, then rose. The lawsuit alleges that consumers paidhigher prices for CDs than they would have, absent the illegal agreements. Reed Richens, Utah's Chief Deputy Attorney General, criticized the defendants attempt to subvert the free market. "Any time competitors conspire to force retailers to charge higher prices, consumers suffer a double loss, said Richards. "Those consu mere pay higher prices and the retailers who do offer discount prices are punished for the low prices. A 4 k 11-1- 2; 15-1- 7. 1 - tags, Beskin said. "The tags, which are injected just under their skin, will allow us to identify them individually. We give them a shot of penicillin in case they picked up something during the transfer and also their first of three distemper vaccinations. Then, following a quick physical examination, weplaced them in a box to recover and released them into the reconditioning pens." The 13 kits are just the start ofthe animals exported at the reconditioning site. "We released 72 ferrets last year and hope to release about the aarne number thia year, laid Boyde Blackwell, biologist for the Utah Di These kita were brought up from Arizona, said Charleno Beskin, biologist for the Bureau of Land Management in Colorado. The kits are to be placed in ou r outdoor condit ioning pens, which are built over an abandoned prairie dog colony. Part of their conditioning is to use tho old burrows to get them familiar with living underground outdoors. Another part of the conditioning is to feed them live prairie dogs one or two ditys a week, to train them on how to catch their prey." Prior to release into the pens, the kit s were given PIT (personal identification tags) and antibiotics. in a small "We knocked-them-ogas chamber so we could inject PIT co-o- UBIC Golf Tournament results are as follows: Ladies Meet, gross Kelly Smith. 86; Shirley Fenn, 94; net-N- an Thomson, 66; Marilyn Larsen, 68.

"We will be releasing the black-footed ferret kits into Cqyote Basin in September and October, Blackwell aid. "Releases in other states show the optimal time to release kits is during their normal dispersal time, roughly 120 days, when they would normally leave their mothers. There will be several releases baaed on the age of the kits.
