To End Homelessness Start With Stigma

PATH Consumer Provider Network (PCPN) member Tyrone Pitman is a Peer-to-Peer specialist at the Pilsen Wellness Center in Illinois. In this story, he recounts his experiences and suggests that to end homelessness we need to start by thinking critically about the stigma that people who experience homelessness face.
With an ongoing war across the sea, there's a bigger battle here in the states. It's the war on homelessness. Being struck down with stigma, prejudice, and ridicule, homelessness has taken a foothold on America. I will try to enlighten you by sharing my brief experience and contact with homelessness.
Let me begin by saying that people do not choose or want to be in the situation that befalls them in life. For me, it began by finding out that I contracted HIV; due in part by believing in the superman theory. It won't happen to me. I'm black, not gay. There's no way it's coming in my neighborhood. Well, HIV/AIDS isn't colorblind. It doesn't discriminate like people. It has no boundaries. So, let us begin.
After finding out I wasn't superman, I chose to start using drugs, moderately at first, but I didn't stop there. Eventually I got on a streak of getting high just about every day, which eventually led me to depression and the never-ending question; Why Me? Not understanding my plight, I tried suicide by taking all of my medications. If you're reading this, you know it didn't work. I decided to go to a treatment center. I was later accepted in a transitional facility to help with my health and drug problem where I encountered others like me who were male, female, Black, White, Hispanic, straight, and gay.
Homelessness can be confusing to those who don't understand it or believe that people made the choice to be homeless. It's quite the opposite. If you don't try to understand, are you alone in this war? Economics, layoffs, loss of hope, or taking risks for the American dream are big factors that contribute to being homeless. You end up questioning everyday situations such as: Where's the first meal coming from? How will I get through the day? Will it be cold tonight while the daytime temperature is 98 degrees?
The bond between people who are homeless is strong. It's a proud group of individuals. If you're a newbie in a shelter, you have to gain trust from the regulars who you hope will teach you the ropes of surviving the system. It's a language that really only they can understand; sharing tricks on how to survive through the coldest of nights and how, every now and then, you can make an honest dollar.
If you're living in a shelter you're looked upon as someone who doesn't care or have a purpose in life, which isn't the case. It takes time dealing with the stigma that comes from misconceptions such as: "You're uneducated." "You won't work." "You're just plain worthless." Society turns the other way because they believe you are these things, before even giving you a chance.
Getting in the system by any means is tough. When applying for help, you need housing, references, and most of all income just to get started. There are obstacles you might not know exist, such as having mental illness, depression, or other unknown factors of life. How does one move forward when they can't even get the proper medical help?
As a whole, we need to stand up, open our eyes and look outside of the box at the problems people who are homeless face day-to-day and the wall that society has built around them. There needs to be a common ground. Somewhere they can receive help in education and job training. They should be given the chance to show that they too can be productive and they have the potential to become a positive factor in their own lives as well as in society.
We need to look at the various stigmas or labels we put on people who are homeless and stand up and be accountable for the way we treat them. We need to learn to give trust. Don't be blinded by the stigmas that are put upon them. Extend an open hand and mind. Listen to them, for they have a lot to say. We can understand if we try to comprehend what has befallen them. Then, and only then, will we begin to understand the plight of people who are homeless.

Dijon Mushroom Beef Recipe
Coated in a mild Dijon mustard sauce, the beef strips and sliced mushrooms in this dish are delicious over noodles or rice. This was hit with my family when I served it with broccoli and fresh tomatoes.
Judith McGhan of Perry Hall, Maryland
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound beef top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 3/4 cup fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Hot cooked yolk-free noodles, optional
- In a large nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook beef until no longer pink. Add the soup, milk, mustard and mushroom mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir until thickened. Serve with hot cooked noodles if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

It's healthy, it's quick, and it tastes excellent. What's not to love about this recipe?
Reviewed Dec. 16, 2010
Turned out great! I was unsure what a dijon sauce would be like ~ but it was very tasty! My DH is a hunter so I did substitute venison chops for the beef and it turned out to be a clever disguise for the venison! :) I forgot to pick up the fresh mushrooms at the store so I skipped sauteing them w/ the onion and just sauteed the venison w/ the onion and added canned mushrooms later. Overall great! We ate it w/ steamed frozen asparagus. A winner!
Reviewed Jan. 4, 2010
I made this and left out the onions and it was excellent!

text: Khadr sought judicial review from the Federal Court following the Supreme Court's decision in January that Canada would continue to refuse to request his repatriation [JURIST reports] from Guantanamo, even though the judges unanimously agreed that the government had breached Khadr's Charter rights. According to the ruling, Canadian officials questioned Khadr, who was captured at age 15, even though they knew he was being indefinitely detained, and, in March 2004, he was questioned with knowledge that he was subjected to three weeks sleep deprivation by US authorities. In May, a UN official called on the US and Canada to respect international conventions [JURIST report] and release Khadr into Canadian custody. The UN claimed that since Khadr was 15 when he was captured, his detention would fall in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child [official website], which has been ratified by Canada, but not the US. Khadr's trial before a US military commission is set to begin on August 10 [JURIST report].

What the hell is the love for on Vince Oghobaase on this site
The guy is a fat ass, and probably won't even get drafted
So, without taking into account dramatic falls from players in the draft, here is what i would like to see happen for the Jets.
Round 1 - Mount Cody - DT - Alabama - this guy is gonna be a beast, just look at his tape.
Round 2 - Damian Williams - WR - USC - depending on how many WRs go in Round 1, it is looking more and more possible Williams will be there at the end of Round 2.
Round 4 - Eric Norwood - OLB - South Carolina - I think Norwood is every bit as good as Jerry Hughes.
Round 5 - Vince Oghobaase - DE - Duke - a favorite around here early on, I think Round 5 is good value for him.
Round 6 - Rafael Priest - CB - TCU - I really like this CB, he was just not thrown at all year.
Round 7 - Zoltan Mesko - P - Michigan - I would like to have a big legged punter for once.
What the hell is the love for on Vince Oghobaase on this site
The guy is a fat ass, and probably won't even get drafted
I don't think there's anyway in hell Norwood in there in the 4th. He goes early 3rd at the latest IMO.
Don't see Williams on the board at the end of the 2nd either. I personally don't see him falling out of the Top 40.
Agreed with JonE, Ogho is terrible.
I like the Cody, Priest, and Mesko picks.
You may be right, it is so hard to predict those middle rounds. Norwood and Selvie and both projected as 3rd or 4th round guys. I hope one of them is there in the 4th. Ogho I still think is good value in the 5th. I'm surprised that Priest's name hasn't come up before. At least not that I have seen.

2013-14 NBA Preview: Will Thunder reign in Northwest? |
SI.com is previewing every division ahead of the 2013-14 NBA season. We've already looked at the Central, Atlantic, Southeast, Pacific and Southwest. Last but not least, the Northwest Division, where the Thunder aim to finish first for the fourth consecutive season.
Over the last 12 months, the Thunder have traded James Harden, lost Kevin Martin in free agency, and witnessed Russell Westbrook undergo two knee surgeries. Somehow, they might actually strengthen their grasp on the Northwest Division in 2013-14, as none of their fellow members made up significant ground this summer. This year's Thunder will ride and die with Kevin Durant like never before, at least until his All-Star teammate returns to the lineup. In the meantime, coach Scott Brooks will hope Reggie Jackson, who enjoyed a breakout 2013 playoffs, and 2012 lottery pick Jeremy Lamb can help fill in some of the scoring gaps, and perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate Serge Ibaka should also enjoy an enhanced offensive role. After getting a taste of the Finals in 2012 and then taking a step back in 2013, this season might be the first time Oklahoma City deals with a real sense of urgency after living such a charmed existence.
The skinny: The Durant/Westbrook combination survived the loss of Harden just fine last season, powering the Thunder to the league's best point differentia. If Westbrook is back to 100 percent for the playoffs, Oklahoma City could well be the Western Conference's team to beat.
"Biggest loss; Andre Iguodala" doesn't quite do justice to the Nuggets' turbulent summer, which saw their defensive centerpiece bolt for the Warriors after the franchise parted ways with George Karl, the NBA's reigning Coach of the Year, and after Masai Ujiri, the NBA's reigning Executive of the Year, took his talents to Toronto. What's left? A first-time coach in Brian Shaw, a first-time GM in Tim Connelly, and a mish-mashed roster with underwhelming new additions (J.J. Hickson and Randy Foye) that will be tapping its foot as Danilo Gallinari recovers from a season-ending knee injury. The Italian forward teams with jitterbug point guard Ty Lawson, Kenneth "The Manimal" Faried and Wilson Chandler to give the Nuggets a solid talent base, but a repeat of Denver's magical 57-win season in 2012-13 seems downright impossible. Denver's legendary altitude-influenced homecourt advantage looms as one reliable leg on this franchise's otherwise wobbly table, but will Shaw undercut this strength by slowing down the team's trademark up-tempo style?
The skinny: The biggest challenge for Shaw, who can expect intense scrutiny in the wake of Denver's offseason overhaul, will be to coax defensive stops out of his charges. Last year, Denver's only year with Iguodala, was the first time since 2009 that the Nuggets finished with an above-average mark in defensive efficiency.
A summer of major change gives Blazermaniacs reason for some measured hope following two straight lottery trips. An injection of veteran talent (Mo Williams and Dorell Wright) and young intrigue (lottery pick CJ McCollum, who is sidelined with a foot injury, and Thomas Robinson) gives Portland a bench that is significantly stronger than last year's reserve corps, which ranked last in the league in scoring. Swapping in the lumbering Robin Lopez for the undersized J.J. Hickson offers coach Terry Stotts a physicality that his starting unit was lacking last year, but this team will still butter its bread on the offensive end. Two-time All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge remains the workhorse, but a deep stable of shooters that includes 2013 Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard and talented small forward Nicolas Batum gives the Blazers enough weapons to compete for a spot among the NBA's top-10 offenses. This team will chuck up a lot of three-pointers, which should make for an entertaining season, but whether Portland makes a return trip to the playoffs relies heavily on Lillard's second-year progress and the team's ability to jump up closer to league-average on the defensive end.
The skinny: Demanding owner Paul Allen has remained dead set against undertaking a rebuild and spending into the luxury tax, creating a reality in which the best case for this Blazers roster is being a "tough out" -- rather than a real threat -- should they sneak into the playoffs.
The Timberwolves' summer was notable for two reasons: oft-questioned president David Kahn was finally dumped, and Flip Saunders, his replacement, wasted no time handing out large stacks of cash in every direction. Saunders' spending spree included re-signing Nikola Pekovic ($60 million), poaching Kevin Martin from the Thunder ($28 million), re-signing Chase Budinger ($15 million) and lifting Corey Brewer from the Nuggets ($14 million). With Budinger down with a knee injury, coach Rick Adelman will ask Martin and Brewer to provide some complementary offense/defense action to replace Andrei Kirilenko, who departed for the Nets. Minnesota's starting five -- point guard Ricky Rubio, Martin, Brewer, All-Star power forward Kevin Love and Pekovic -- is quality across the board, with Martin looming as a crucial X-factor. If he can rekindle his 20+ points per game form that he enjoyed under Adelman while both were with the Rockets a few years back, Minnesota could make a run at its first playoff appearance since 2004.
The skinny: In all the hype surrounding Derrick Rose's return and Kobe Bryant's impending return, Love has gotten lost in the shuffle. A two-time All-Star who was on the outskirts of the 2011 MVP discussion, Love could very well be the league's biggest sleeper as he looks to move past a discouraging 2012-13 season that was compromised by hand injuries.
Whether you want to call it "tanking" or "rebuilding with passion and intellect," the Jazz will likely be among the league's worst teams this season and it's at least partially by design. Four of the 2012-13 team's top-five scorers left this summer -- Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Mo Williams and Randy Foye -- and Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey made no real effort to replace them. Instead, he took on the expiring contracts of Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins to acquire draft assets, and he elected to turn over the bulk of the minutes to a talented, but largely unproven, young core made up of five lottery picks: Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter, Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks and Trey Burke. Unfortunately, Burke, the team's projected starting point guard, was lost for the beginning of the regular season with a finger injury. That's an ominous start for what figures to be a long and rough road to the 2014 lottery.
The skinny: This year will be labeled a success if Favors, who was recently handed a four-year extension, Hayward and Kanter all show they can be impact starters when given the largest roles of their young careers. A top-three pick in this year's draft would be pretty great too.
Durant's reward for raising his game to new heights in virtually every possible way last season? A demand for more, more, more. His 50/40/90 shooting splits got all the headlines, and rightfully so given his shot volume, but we shouldn't overlook the fact that Durant totaled career highs in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks too. Only LeBron James can match Durant's virus-like ability to seek out his own weaknesses and destroy them. Two challenges will define Durant's 2013-14 season. One, finding a way to singlehandedly break opposing defenses night after night early in the season. Two, rediscovering the give-and-take, one/two chemistry with Westbrook on the fly once he's back.
Although fellow Northwest Division point guards Damian Lillard and Ricky Rubio might generate more buzz, Ty Lawson has both beat when it comes to playoff appearances and team-wide success. Denver will likely need Lawson to score more than ever, especially in the early going, as Gallinari (injured), Iguodala (gone) and Brewer (gone) combined to average 41 points per game last year. This is a bit of a make-or-break year for Lawson's reputation, as he will be carrying his heaviest load yet in his first season without George Karl's guidance.
Picking up the slack while Russell Westbrook is sidelined, Kevin Durant will win the fourth scoring title of his career and become the first player to average 32+ points since Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson accomplished the feat in 2005-06.

I personally think Height would still make an impact for you. I really like THX Loudness Plus and the Faroudja 1080p scaling makes it worth it in my opinion. Especially OSD Volume over HDMI. Not that I don't like the 607, I really do but it doesn't compete with the "Middle End" 707 receiver... Of course I don't know a receiver below it that comes close. At least not available yet. And I am confident the 707 bests many directly above it to.

$110,000 man: Madigan crony was collecting city pension when he sought Metra raise
BY ART GOLAB, DAVE McKINNEY AND NATASHA KORECKI Staff Reporters July 25, 2013 9:12PM

Updated: August 27, 2013 6:25AM
Nearly $110,000 a year wasn't enough for Patrick Ward — the Mike Madigan campaign worker at the center of Metra's patronage scandal. When Ward complained to the powerful state House speaker last year that he wanted a raise on top of his annual Metra salary of $57,000, Ward was already drawing at least $52,700 a year from a taxpayer-subsidized city pension, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation has found. Pension and payroll records show Ward, now 57, began collecting retirement benefits in 2009 after 30 years of government service. He made $84,000 his final year of employment with the city and got an initial pension of $52,700. As he began collecting his pension, he also started working for Metra. The Sun-Times has also learned that when Ward then took a state job last May after leaving Metra he earned a "special salary adjustment" guaranteeing him a double-digit pay hike to work in Gov. Pat Quinn's administration. The newspaper discovered the special salary adjustment despite the governor's assertion that "no special treatment" was used to get Ward on the state payroll. The new revelations come as Madigan has faced increasing scrutiny over patronage requests at the rail agency. His daughter, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, pulled out of contention for the race for governor in the days following the Metra scandal blow-up. She cited her father's refusal to step down from his position as Speaker. When told of the Sun-Times' findings, Andy Shaw, who heads the Better Government Association, said the BGA pension database shows Ward is collecting two pensions, the other a county pension — both of which began in 2009 — for a total of $60,744 a year in retirement benefits. "Patrick Ward … still has the audacity to enlist Mike Madigan's help to try to get even more. That's the definition of 'chutzpah,' and it's also why the pension system is broke, the state is broke and people have lost faith in government," Shaw said. "If Mike Madigan knew Mr. Ward was collecting two pensions on top of his Metra salary, his request that Ward get a raise is even more craven and more reflective of a system that serves the insiders instead of the public." With his new adjusted state salary and the two taxpayer-subsidized pensions, Ward's yearly income is $130,740. A Madigan spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Ward has not responded to Sun-Times visits to his Far Southwest Side home or state government office or answered messages left at both work and home. Ward became a focal point of the Metra scandal after Alex Clifford, the ex-Metra CEO who received a controversial $718,000 severance package, said in a now-notorious memo that he lost his job for refusing to give Ward a pay increase at Metra and for rebuffing a Madigan push to hire another Madigan friend at the transit agency. "Mr. Ward said his family had supported Mr. Madigan for many years and worked on his political campaigns," Clifford wrote in that memo. "He said that he had discussed his Metra employment with Mr. Madigan at a Madigan political event, where he told Mr. Madigan that he felt underpaid." A Madigan aide at the time denied any claims of pressure or impropriety, and Metra Chairman Brad O'Halloran dismissed Clifford's account as "hooey." Madigan released a statement at the time the allegations in the memo were made public. "Given the information presented to my office, we forwarded a recommendation to Metra senior staff that Mr. Ward be considered for a salary adjustment.," Madigan's statement read. "My office's recommendation supplemented an endorsement which I understand he received from his supervisor, who concluded Mr. Ward was underpaid and that his job performance and education warranted a salary adjustment. " When Ward left Metra and moved to his state job, he got a 23 percent pay increase over his previous job at the rail agency. He was hired under Quinn last May to be the assistant deputy director of labor relations in the state Department of Central Management Services. The governor last week was insistent that no rules were waived to get Ward the bump up in pay above the $57,000-a-year salary he had at the transit agency. "Nobody gets special treatment, whether it's Mr. Ward or any other state employee," the governor said. But a pay rule published on the CMS website says that new employees with "directly-related education and experience" cannot receive pay increases beyond 5 percent over their previous job outside state government unless they receive what is called a "special salary adjustment" that must be approved by the CMS director, Malcolm Weems. And only in cases "correcting a previous error, oversight or when the best interest of the agency and the State of Illinois will be served" can pay raises exceeding 5 percent over a previous salary be doled out to an incoming employee, the state's pay manual says. Ward's annual state salary is $69,996 — and state officials tried to portray that as a bargain. The position into which Ward was hired had been located in Winnebago County and held by an $88,000-a-year employee who retired, but the job was moved to Chicago and designated as a policy-making job under the governor by the state Civil Service Commission last spring. CMS spokeswoman Anjali Julka justified Ward's salary, saying he met the criteria in the agency's eyes that are spelled out in state hiring rules. "The salary for Mr. Ward was based on his level of responsibility, his previous work history at the Cook County sheriff's office and the city of Chicago's Department of Personnel and on a comparison with other labor relations administrators for the state," she said. "The average for nine other employees doing similar work at state agencies was $76,300. Mr. Ward's salary was below the level of his peers," she said. A House Republican who serves on the panel that has probed Clifford's claims at Metra said the Quinn administration's explanations regarding Ward are flimsy and warrant an investigation. "It sounds to me that rules were bent if not outright broken to get this guy a soft landing somewhere," said Rep. Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein), who sits on the House Mass Transit Committee. "This whole scandal, and I think it's right to call it a scandal, is getting uglier and uglier. You're telling me a guy that's a political patronage guy, who gets the speaker of the House to reach out for a raise for him that's denied because the guy at Metra won't play pay to play, gets this job? This is how the Democrats keep their patronage army intact," he said. "We need to have a special investigator start unraveling the truth of what's going on here. You just uncovered another layer I'm not sure anyone else has looked at," Sullivan said. State campaign records show Ward circulated nominating petitions for Madigan in October 2011, a prerequisite for the speaker to appear on the primary ballot in March 2012 — the time when Clifford alleged that Ward and Madigan spoke about a Metra raise. Ward signed up 100 voters on Madigan's behalf, records obtained by the Sun-Times from the State Board of Elections show. State election board records show that between 1999 and 2012 Ward donated a total of $16,525 to either Michael Madigan's 13th Ward Democratic Organization or to his daughter Lisa Madigan's campaign fund. When making those contributions, from the same Mount Greenwood neighborhood address, Ward reported working at several different jobs over the years, including: a supervising personnel analyst at the City of Chicago, an administrative assistant at Cook County and a labor relations specialist at Metra.

Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 10
Posted Aug 13th - 7:58pm by Jason ShepherdThe BYU Cougars went indoors on Monday afternoon for the second of two practices on Day 10 of fall camp. Bronco Mendenhall seemed pleased with the effort that his players gave him in both practices today.
"Got a ton of work done and some situational work", Bronco said. "I've been impressed with their day-to-day effort and their willingness to work."
Cougar Tracks: BYU's Rose Announces Harrison Transfer
Posted Aug 13th - 1:50pm by Greg WrubellBYU head basketball coach Dave Rose on Monday announced that sophomore-to-be guard Damarcus Harrison is transferring to Clemson for the 2012-13 season.
In BYU's official press release on the matter, Rose says "we appreciate the hard work and dedication Damarcus gave to our program this past season. Damarcus is great young man from a wonderful family. We wish them the very best with this new opportunity." The transfer brings Harrison closer to his South Carolina home.
Cougar Tracks: Nixon commits to BYU
Posted Aug 11th - 7:20pm by Greg WrubellOrem High School star Dalton Nixon has committed to play basketball for head coach Dave Rose and the BYU Cougars.
Nixon committed to Rose in his campus office on Friday night, in the presence of Dalton's father Kevin and Rose's assistant coaches. Nixon becomes the fourth son of a former Cougar hoopster to commit to Rose, joining Tyler and T.J. Haws (father is Marty; played 1985-90), and Jordan Chatman (father is Jeff; played 1985-88).
A versatile 6'7" forward, Nixon told me Saturday night that he was "excited to play with a lot of local kids like T.J. (Haws), Nick (Emery) and Eric (Mika)"--all three of whom play together at nearby Lone Peak HS and have committed to BYU. Nixon added that he was "happy to be close to home; I love Provo, and I love BYU."
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 9
Posted Aug 11th - 2:00pm by Greg WrubellAfter Saturday morning's session in Provo, the Cougars are on the downhill side of the "camp" portion of preseason practice. In previous years, head coach Bronco Mendenhall has closed camp and begun preparing for the season-opening opponent after Day 15 or 16; today was Day 9, and practice no. 11.
Mendenhall said that at this point of the month, he thinks his players have handled the workload well, and doesn't sense the "dog days" settling in.
"I'm pleased with how they're working," said Mendenhall after practice. "They're improving each day--small things, position mastery, effort is consistent. I think we're actually gaining momentum...through day number nine, I feel like we're on track."
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 8
Posted Aug 10th - 4:31pm by Greg WrubellFor the first time in eight days of camp, clouds graced the outdoor practice fields in Provo, cooling things off for the second second day of BYU's two-a-days.
With players in shells (helmets/shoulder pads), the morning session featured the team ending practice with some 11-on-11 blue zone work, and plays were made on both sides of the ball.
QB Riley Nelson was 7-for-9 passing for 65 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception (Craig Bills). Scoring tosses went to Cody Hoffman (20 yards and 10 yards) and Mitch Mathews (10 yards). JD Falslev scampered in on a 20-yard score. In addition to Bills' pick, DB Preston Hadley recorded a pass break-up in the end zone.
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 7 (Scrimmage Report)
Posted Aug 9th - 2:09pm by Greg WrubellBYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall called it "fairly vanilla on both sides," but Thursday morning's 76-snap stadium scrimmage had enough exciting plays to encourage fans, only three weeks before the Cougars' season-opener with Washington State.
On a day when many if not most first-stringers remained on the sidelines, Mendenall said "we saw a ton of young defensive players play, and every young quarterback (got) a chance to play. (It helped) a ton in hopefully evaluating personnel, establishing depth, doing some great teaching, and evaluating a scheme here or there."
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 6
Posted Aug 8th - 6:46pm by Greg WrubellAfter five days of single-session practices, Wednesday introduced the Cougars to the "two-a-days" routine. BYU has five such days scheduled for camp between today and next Friday.
This morning's practice followed a now-typical pattern, with 11-on-11 "team" work preceding a team-wide conditioning drill and ice-plunge. On a sixth straight day without hitting, the defense was disruptive in "team," with Spencer Hadley recording an interception of Riley Nelson, along with two would-be sacks. Defensive backs Sawyer Powell and Micah Hanneman had pass break-ups.
In limited reps, Nelson was 2-of-5 passing for 17 yards, while adding a 20-yard run. James Lark went 1-for-2 for 20 yards, while Taysom Hill was 1-for-2 for nine yards. RB Adam Hine had a 40-yard TD scamper, with RB Michael Alisa and Hill also getting downfield with long runs.
Cougar Tracks: Thursday Night Live Chat with Greg Wrubell
Posted Aug 8th - 6:02pm by Greg WrubellThe Cougars held their first scrimmage of fall camp Thursday morning; Thursday night, we did a Cougar Tracks live chat to break it down and discuss BYU Sports.
Click below to re-live the excitement that only two straight hours of keyboard-rattling can create.
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 5
Posted Aug 7th - 1:41pm by Greg WrubellThe shoulder pads were on for the first time in camp, but on Tuesday in Provo, the practice field was still a "no-hit zone" on head coach Bronco Mendenhall's orders.
The players had a difficult time obeying those orders in the 11-on-11 session to end practice, so Mendenhall called an early end to the proceedings, choosing to put his players through a lengthy conditioning gauntlet in place of live snaps.
The hit that caused the shut-down was delivered by safety Daniel Sorensen, who knocked running back Michael Alisa off his feet after a run. Alisa responded by knocking the helmet off of Sorensen's head, and following a brief scuffle and some angry words, Mendenhall had seen enough. The Cougars' first camp practice in shoulder pads ended before its scheduled completion.
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 4
Posted Aug 6th - 2:09pm by Greg WrubellOn day four of BYU's preseason practices, QB Riley Nelson was sharp in the session-ending 11-on-11 segment, completing all eight of his passes for 108 yards and a 49-yard touchdown to RB David Foote.
The last of Nelson's eight completions gets an asterisk, as it was deflected (and could have been intercepted) by DE Eathyn Manumaleuna, before landing in the hands of right tackle Braden Brown. But hey, 100% is 100%.
Nelson's reps most approximated actual drives, as the other plays run with backup QBs were set for specific downs and distances, with a frequent rotation of signal-callers. Nelson was essentially allowed to move his team down the field in the limited-contact, no-pads "team" session.
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 3
Posted Aug 4th - 1:29pm by Greg WrubellBYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall continued to ease his players into contact on Saturday, conducting a third consecutive camp practice without pads, on a day when shoulder pads were permissible for the first time.
The two-hour practice was the first morning session of the preseason, held on a warm morning with no wind. On limiting contact with the no-pads approach on what has previously always been a days for "shells" (helmets and shoulder pads), Mendenhall said the team is "continuing to work on the pace that we're working on without pads, and I wanted to see one more day of it."
"We're getting a lot done," said Mendenhall, "and so I thought it would be a good way to start. Rest through the weekend, and then keep increasing intensity, as camp is more of a marathon than a sprint."
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 2
Posted Aug 3rd - 7:36pm by Greg WrubellThe Cougars held a two-hour helmets-only practice late Friday afternoon in Provo, with the players facing a quick turnaround before camp's first morning session on Saturday.
Head coach Bronco Mendenhall said his players had "less enthusiasm, but better execution" on day two of camp. "The focus was still good. We got more done today (than Thursday)."
Cougar Tracks: Camp Cougar, Day 1
Posted Aug 2nd - 8:13pm by Greg WrubellThe first day of BYU's preseason camp concluded at around 6:30pm on Thursday evening, more than 2 1/2 hours after it began beneath a sweltering sun at the Cougars' outdoor practice fields.
Something new at the 2012 camp is the collection of ice tubs assembled at the south end of the fields, and as practice concluded, there was a rush to take advantage of the cool-down aids. The tubs are more than a desired destination on a hot day--they are also deemed a therapeutic necessity as part of the program's new fitness and conditioning regimen.
Cougar Tracks: Reporting for Duty
Posted Aug 2nd - 12:07pm by Greg WrubellBYU Football begins preseason practices Thursday with a 105-player camp roster, including 20 newcomers comprising incoming freshmen and transfers, return missionaries and walk-ons.
The 85 program veterans are led by 14 returning offensive and defensive starters, featuring the Cougars' first-string quarterback, tight end, "X," "Z" and "H" receivers.
Cougar Tracks: Wednesday Live Chat with Greg Wrubell
Posted Aug 1st - 3:39pm by Greg WrubellAfter a few weeks away, we rolled out another live chat, on the eve of "Camp Cougar."
Click below for the even-better-than-live replay of Wednesday night's session, and be sure to join me again next week, when we get chatty once again:
Cougar Tracks: Let's Roll
Posted Aug 1st - 9:38am by Greg WrubellPerhaps it is because I am getting older that the off-seasons seem shorter, but here we are again--already.
My annual broadcast schedule is set to a familiar rhythm. On the gridiron, August camp morphs into September games, and then basketball joins the sporting milieu in October, creating a month-and-a-half of two-sport crossover coverage. Football gives way to hoops around Thanksgiving, only to make a late December cameo, with another brief appearance on national signing day. Basketball carries the winter, and carries me through early-to-mid-to-late March, when football again appears for its spring ritual.
By early April, things have settled down, with a nearly four-month rest period providing a time to squeeze in some vacation time, and otherwise get ready to do it all over again in August. Those months represent my prep time for the campaigns ahead, for if my broadcasts are to improve over the previous season, my preparation will need to have improved as well. Confucius said: "Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure."
CougarTracks: BYU says RB Josh Quezada will transfer
Posted Jul 20th - 5:57pm by Greg WrubellLess than two weeks before the opening of pre-season football practice, BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall Friday announced that junior running back Joshua "Juice" Quezada has decided to transfer.
Running back is one of BYU's deeper positions, and Mendenhall acknowledged during a post-season media gathering in January that backfield competition was likely on Quezada's mind at the time.
Cougar Tracks: Good Work
Posted Jul 19th - 8:17am by Greg WrubellBYU players continue to garner nation award watch list recognition, as running back Michael Alisa was Thursday named as a nominee for the Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation's premier running back.
Alisa's on-field recognition comes only a couple of days after he was honored for his off-the-field work as a nominee to the All-State AFCA Good Works Team.
A linebacker during his 2008 freshman season, Alisa returned from his LDS mission and moved to the offensive backfield in 2011, emerging at mid-season to energize the Cougars' ground game.
Cougar Tracks: Full Nelson
Posted Jul 18th - 8:11am by Greg WrubellBYU quarterback Riley Nelson was Wednesday honored as one of 34 signal-callers selected to the watch list for the Davey O'Brien Award, given annually to the nation's best quarterback.
Starting only seven games last season, Nelson threw for 1,717 yards on the year, tossing 19 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. His pass efficiency rating of 152.9 was 16th-best nationally.
Nelson ended last season in third place on BYU's alltime quarterback rushing list (662 rush yards), after running for 392 yards in 2011. A similar performance in 2012 would give him a shot at passing Steve Young (1,084 yards) for second place on the Cougars' alltime QB run chart, with an outside chance at surpassing leader Virgil Carter (1,225 yards).
Cougar Tracks: Magnificent Seven
Posted Jul 17th - 1:06pm by Greg WrubellBYU Football now has players represented on seven major preseason award watch lists, with Cody Hoffman named Tuesday as a nominee for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation's most outstanding receiver.
Last season, Hoffman led BYU with 61 receptions for 943 yards and ten touchdowns, three of which came in BYU's season-ending Armed Forces Bowl win over Tulsa. Hoffman's game-clinching TD catch came with 11 seconds remaining in the contest.
Among 2011's non-seniors, Hoffman ranked 25th in receiving yards, while only 11 returning players had more than Hoffman's ten receiving scores in 2011. Hoffman's 1,470 career receiving yards rank him 29th all-time at BYU.

I don't know the entire story. A friend had texted me and sent me a video of him driving by, said that he saw officers with guns drawn, shotguns rifles and all. I couldn't drive by the time I got there they had already blocked off the road far beyond where I had taken the video. But apparently a man had broken into a home while they owners were in it or just outside, I don't know that situation exactly, but he supposedly had a firearm. The police were called and almost every officer on duty was there. I counted 6 squad cars and 3 SUVs, K9 units. All on the road and that was just infront of the house, there were a few more blocking the roads. When I arrived they had been there for almost an hour and a half.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

Flexible pack cuts waste, improves performance
How it's used
MedChem's new package is fast and easy for operating room nurses to peel open. "Our marketing staff routinely visits operating rooms and discusses product use with OR nurses and doctors" says Michael McCartin product manager for hemostasis at MedChem.
"We realized three years ago that we needed to improve upon the original Avitene package which was introduced with the product over 20 years ago. The nurses in OR all wear gloves and packages that can be easily peeled open are demanded by the industry."
Avitene is a topical hemostatic agent used in the OR in critical situations to help control bleeding. The product needs to move from the surgical shelf through the sterile field without being contaminated and into the hands of the doctor as quickly as possible. "Designing a package that could be quickly and easily opened and passed into the sterile field while conforming to sterile techniques in the OR were major concerns" notes McCartin.
Rollprint's proprietary sealant layer is credited for simultaneously maintaining seal integrity and easy peelability after the punishing process of heat sterilization. The stand-up pouch is sealed with a chevron seal that offers excess material above the seal so nurses wearing gloves can easily grip the package and peel the top open.
"Trials show the new Avitene package can be opened in about one-quarter of the time it took to open the original Avitene package" says McCartin. MedChem customers in Japan will receive the new Avitene package in June 1996 and domestic customers will soon begin receiving shipments.
Rollprint's lamination provides moisture barrier properties that allow the topical hemostatic agent to remain unaffected even during the lengthy shipping process to Japan where MedChem sells a significant volume of its product.
Quality assured
"We're not concerned about our export product quality upon arrival because the barrier quality of the package can withstand the warm and moisture-rich shipping environment" adds Chu. According to Rollprint president Bob Doddrill the 1-mil aluminum foil provides barrier properties nearly equivalent to a metal can. The sealant layer a multiple-ply extrusion creates hermetic seals. Test results on the lamination measure moisture or gas transmission rates out to the fourth or fifth decimal place.
The stand-up-pouch is well suited to MedChem's heat sterilization process because of the extra volume inherent in the package. The gusseted bottom allows for air expansion while seal integrity is maintained. A PC cup holding 1 g of Avitene is packaged into a stand-up-pouch measuring 6" square with a 3" gusset.
"If we had used a flat two-sided pouch we would have needed a larger pouch and a partial vacuum would have been necessary prior to sealing" says Chu. "A flat pouch for one gram of Avitene would have measured approximately seven by eight inches. Besides requiring more material and an additional packaging process a flat pouch would have been prone to wrinkling which makes it difficult to top seal."
Standing up to use
Another well-recognized benefit of the stand-up pouch is its shelf presence. While this feature is usually associated with consumer markets the nurses doctors and patients at hospitals using the new Avitene package also benefit. "The stand-up pouch is easily visible on the shelf in the OR" notes McCartin. "Fast identification of our product contributes to the speed with which nurses can move the product off the shelf and into the doctor's hands." That's especially critical for a product that's most often used when a patient is bleeding to excess.
"At first we used the OR nurses with whom we are in regular contact as package design consultants; they told us what they needed" continues McCartin. MedChem then approached Rollprint with its new package concept. The two companies had worked together for three years producing a variety of flat pouches used to package other MedChem products. Thus Rollprint had experience making films that could withstand heat sterilization temperatures in excess of 120°C and remain peelable.
"Our goal during the design of the new Avitene package was to use the same film from Rollprint that we had had good experience with" notes Chu. "Rollprint was very creative. We gave them a pouch design and they gave us the right material to put it together."
Product quality is a major objective for MedChem; its production processes are designed to support that goal. MedChem audits suppliers prior to purchasing material and then schedules routine audits annually. Additionally incoming material is inspected by its QC personnel. For competitive reasons MedChem declines to identify the equipment it uses to fill and lid the PC cup and the sealing system used to seal the pre-made pouches.
"One of the reasons we chose Rollprint as a supplier was their experience in the medical packaging industry" explained Mr. Chu. "They're very familiar with our requirements because they understand clean room requirements." Rollprint operates its two plants under CGMPs and is registered as a medical device manufacturing facility. That subjects them to the same rigorous standards applied to medical manufacturers like MedChem.
"The perioperative nurses we work with have looked at the prototypes we've developed along the way and they've offered us feedback" McCartin concludes. "The fact that they're thrilled with the new package is no surprise to us."

Old Testament Miniatures with Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian inscriptions France, Paris, 1240sScholars believe that the Picture Bible was commissioned by Louis IX of France, the Capetian monarch who built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house the crown of thorns before leaving for the first of his two crusades in 1248. The Bible later passed to the cardinal of Cracow, who then offered it as a diplomatic gift to the great Persian Muslim shah 'Abbas in the early seventeenth century. The manuscript eventually fell into the hands of Jewish owners, probably during the eighteenth century. These various owners left Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian inscriptions around the images. With these inscriptions, the keepers of the manuscript used their languages to assert their ownership of the book, appropriating its narrative contents and assimilating it into their own cultures. The Latin captions are the earliest. They can be labeled as "early fourteenth-century," and were possibly made by a scribe trained in Bologna. The Persian captions come next. They were added in 1608 or shortly after, when the manuscript was presented to Shah Abbas in Isfahan. The Judeo-Persians are last, and according to the translator, they were probably made in 1722 or shortly after, as that year Isfahan was sacked by the Afghans. She supposes that at that time the book was looted by an Afghan soldier and was possibly exchanged with an Iranian Jew. The Picture Bible is illustrated with saturated colors and exquisite detail. In order to make its lessons relevant to readers, the creators of this Bible set Old Testament stories in contemporaneous environments. For example, depictions of architecture evoke the castles and houses of thirteenth-century French towns and battle scenes are illustrated with thirteenth-century armor, weapons, and battle insignia.
MS M.638 (fol. 15r)Parched Weary from the slaughter, Samson discards the jawbone and asks God for water to quench his thirst. The Lord hears, and a miraculous spring wells up from the ground. (Judges 15:17–19) The Gates of Gaza Later, Samson arrives in Gaza, where vigilant Philistines prepare an ambush for him at the city gates. But before the trap is sprung, the cunning Samson wrests the very doors from the gates and defiantly carries them to the top of a high hill. (Judges 16:1–3) Shear Betrayal In the Valley of Sorek, Samson falls in love with the beautiful Delilah. Unbeknownst to him, Delilah is in league with the Philistines. Her persistent inquiries finally pay off, and Samson reveals to her the source of his superhuman strength—his hair. Indeed, a razor has never touched his head. When Samson falls asleep with his head on Delilah's knees, she quietly cuts his locks. Presently, her Philistine allies will capture him. (Judges 16:17–19) Samson Blinded The Philistines bring the helpless Samson back to Gaza. Still wary of their captive, they bind him in the presence of several armed men and gouge out his eyes. (Judges 16:20–21) Image courtesy of Faksimile Verlag Luzern, www.faksimile.ch. Content consultant: Richard Leson
Folio 15r (Latin)Upper left: How Samson, who was very thirsty after his victory, cried to the Lord and water came out from a great tooth in the jawbone with which he had become victorious, and he was thus much strengthened and refreshed. (Judges 15: 18–19)Upper right: How when Samson was lying in Gaza in the house of some woman, the Philistines, upon discovering this, set guards at the gates of the city, that they might kill him as he went back. But he, rising in the middle of the night, carried the entire two doors of the gate with the bolts and the posts up to a hill. (Judges 16: 1–3)Lower left: How when Samson, enticed by his love to Delilah and subdued by her charms, had revealed to her that his might was in his hair, she, whom the Philistines had bribed with money, shaved his hair. (Judges 16: 4–20)Lower right: How Samson, having been deprived of his hair and his powers by his lover, is deprived of his eyesight by the Philistines. (Judges 16:21)Translation by Eran Lupu

Rated 4 / 5 stars February 10, 2013
I absolutely love the concept of this game. Out of the few games sort of like this (drawing a blank on the names) nothing has come close to being as good as this. The artwork is well made while also being fairly simple. The game play is straight-forward and is fun.
My complaint (as well as many other people) is the repetitive aspect of the game. Some games can pull this off, but this game really can't. Games that can pull this off make it fun because of
a) Competitive [i.e. Leaderboards, PvP, Increasingly harder levels, etc.]
b) Incentives [i.e. Achievements, Upgrades, Skill points, etc.]
c) Variety [i.e. Mini-games, Challenges, etc.]
d) Interesting Story
In order to really make this a 5 star game I would suggest adding (from the things above) Challenges (maybe a crazy weapon building challenge), Mini-games, and definitelya better story! The story was very boring, it really didn't feel like it belonged.
I hope I helped!

Sony Vaio X series (VPCX11S1E/B) review
We defy anyone not to be impressed by the 11.1-inch Vaio VPCX11S1E/B ultra-portable laptop. It offers netbook-esque performance and it's ludicrously expensive, but it's remarkably thin and light, and Sony's made surprisingly few compromises considering how slender it is Read more

Asus U2E review
Like its predecessor, the Asus U2E is unashamedly sexy -- it's finished in leather, after all. Available in black or mocha brown, this ultraportable is updated with a built-in DVD rewriter and plenty of memory. It also boasts a fingerprint reader to keep your documents safe Read more

OQO model e2 review
The OQO model e2 sports several enhancements over its predecessor, the ultra mobile PC-style device OQO model 2. With its screen sliding upwards to reveal a Qwerty keyboard and a trackpoint-style mouse nipple, it's great for on-the-go use. An upgraded processor means better performance, too Read more

Asus U1 review
It's tiny, it's shiny, it's got leather, it's got Vista -- what's not to love? The Asus U1 offers Core Duo performance in a petite package, along with a lovely 11-inch screen, an insignificant 1kg weight and the brand-new Windows OS. Graphics aren't a speciality though, and it is pricey Read more

Fujitsu Lifebook P7010 review
For such a light, compact laptop, the Lifebook certainly punches above its weight, handling office and video-editing tasks with aplomb. Its real strength, though, is its battery life -- by swapping the DVD drive for an additional battery, the Lifebook can keep going for an astonishing ten hours Read more
