Some families in and out of the BYU and LDS communities feel they have had trouble finding appropriate en-tertainment for their children on the Internet. There may be a new solution to that problem.

Squeegi.com, a website similar to YouTube that allows only G-rated ma-terial, was launched. The announce-ment was made by Mark Davey, Squee-gi’s founder and CEO.

“We’ve been doing a lot of research for a long time, and it is good that we are finally talking to people about it,” Davey said.

Davey and his colleague Brian Jen-sen got the idea for Squeegi after the emergence of YouTube in 2005. While there are thumbnails and images on YouTube that contain material many families consider inappropriate for their children, Squeegi allows view-ers to browse its sight without fear of unwelcome material.

“We launched Squeegi.com on July 4 because of the freedom theme which we felt was appropriate,” Davey said. “We are all about giving people in-creased freedom on the Internet.”

Davey related an experience his children had when they were search-ing YouTube for information needed to do a homework project. They would come across inappropriate online material in the process. Davey said he feels Squeegi provides protection from that.

“If you want to have a cleaner alter-native, we are drawing a line in the sand,” Davey said “We are the ones that are stepping out there and saying we are going to be the G-rated version of YouTube.”

After the death of her oldest daughter, Rebecca Douglas learned her daughter’s love was reaching far beyond her home — halfway around the word in fact.

Douglas discovered that her re-cently deceased daughter had been donating her own money to children in India. Douglas learned those chil-dren were important to her daughter, and she decided to follow her lead. She became a founder of Rising Star Outreach, organization dedicated to eradicate leprosy and help those af-flicted by it.

This summer nursing students, along with the assistance of Cheryl Corbett and Karen Lundberg, current BYU College of Nursing faculty members, worked with Rising Star Outreach in

India to break the curse that those with leprosy have to endure.

Coming across a leper on the side of the road begging for subsistence was the tipping point for Douglas, and she said she knew then that she needed to act.

Leprosy affects millions in India. This debilitating disease has several physical characteristics, but it is the social stig-mas that perpetuate the disease.

“In India, leprosy is seen as a curse,” said Dani Shurtleff, Rising Star Out-reach volunteer director and BYU grad-uate. “[Lepers] are seen as not really humans, less than dogs.”

DRESDEN, Germany — Running low on hope and almost out of time, the Americans were surely beat, about to make their earliest exit from the Women’s World Cup.

And then, with one of the most thrilling goals in U.S. history, they weren’t.

Showing a dramatic burst sure to captivate the folks back home, the Americans packed an en-tire World Cup’s worth of theatrics into a 15-minute span by beating Brazil 5-3 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie Sunday night.

Abby Wambach tied it with a mag-

nificent, leaping header in the 122nd minute, and Hope Solo denied the Brazilians — again — in one of the most riveting games in the history of the World Cup, men’s or women’s.

“There is something special about this group. That energy, that vibe,” Solo said. “Even in overtime, you felt something was going to happen.”

The United States advanced to Wednesday’s semifinals against France, which eliminated England on penalty kicks Saturday. And while the Americans will have to win twice more to win the final, they are the only one of the favorites left after two-time defending champ Germany was stunned by Japan on Saturday night.

The U.S. victory came 12 years to the day the Americans’ last caught

their country’s attention in a big way with their penalty-kick shootout vic-tory over China at the Rose Bowl that gave them their second World Cup ti-tle. This one created enough of a buzz that highlights were shown on the Jumbotron at Yankee Stadium, drawing big cheers.

For Brazil, it is yet another disap-pointment at a major tournament. And this one is sure to sting more than any others because Marta had it won for the Brazilians, scoring her second goal of the game in the second minute of overtime for the 2-1 lead. But Erika stalled when she went down on a tackle, and the de-lay added three minutes of stoppage time to the game.

People make unique things all the time; only one has made an Egyptian sarcophagus in 2,000 years. And he did it the hard way.

Jeff Kulesus, a BYU grad, said making an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus was on his bucket list of things to do since he was 11 or 12 years old. It was right up there with play-ing the piano and violin and writing a book.

The mummy case, which is on display in the Harold B. Lee library, took about two years to build, Kulesus said, and was based off of a small picture a little larger than the size of a postage stamp which was blown up a few times so details could be seen.

Kulesus said this is the first sarcopha-gus made in the original fashion of adding layers to create the hard shell around the mummy since the ancient ones.

“As far as I know this is the first time anyone did anything like this for about 2,000 years,” he said.

The “mummy” to build the sarcophagus around was about 130 pounds of newspa-pers taped together. Ancient Egyptians would build the sarcophagus using layers of linen and papyrus with stucco or other resins forming the hard shell, Kulesus ex-plained. He followed the same pattern us-ing linens and stucco to create the replica of Nakhtefmut’s coffin, who was a priest of Amun.

The Bradley Public Relation Agency is a student-run PR firm operating on BYU campus. The lab is affiliated with BYU’s prestigious PRSSA chapter, which was voted as the most outstanding chapter in the nation at the PRSSA national conference in October of 2010 and was recognized in 2011 for best PRSA/PRSSA relationship. I am active in both the lab and the chapter.

I worked with Bradley in the account director, and account executive positions, over the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Crime Reports, Wasatch Mental Health, Fully Invested Foundation, BYU’s Department of Communications and Book of Jer3maih accounts.

The environment has always been fast-paced and ever-changing. This type of enviroment has fostered great learning and the creation of outstanding ideas.

Section 1

The Fully Invested Foundation is a non-profit organization formed by Brigham Young University’s Coach Mendenhall and his wife Holly.

Strategic planning was at the core of this account. Our primary efforts revolved around defining the organization and developing a strategy to achieve their three primary goals.

The Fully Invested Foundation account required a lot of time sensitive efforts, espe-cially due to the implementation of a weekly social media calendar which we devel-oped in collaboration with our client.

The creation of a leadership council and their corresponding responsibilities were also a product of our efforts.

Section 2

In efforts to create a donation flow, we reached out to Harley-Davidson and proposed a motorcycle donation that would later be auctioned. They donated this bike. We are currently getting signagtures from coaches and previous players to add to its value.

Another important part of our social media strategy focused on engaging our public by creating a personal message from Bronco and Holly Mendenhall. The video is used on our online channels.

We collaborated in the creation of a social media campaign which in-volved the creating and maintatining of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and a blog. Along with the maintaining and updating of Broncomendenhall.com

Crime Reports is a crime-mapping service that assists law enforcement agencies nationwide in communicating with those they serve.

While working as an account executive I collaborated with my team in the making of a press conference which featured Utah’s Attorney General Mark Shurtleff announcing an appropriation that would provide local law enformcement agencies with Crime Report’s crime tipping system.

The press conference was covered by all major media outlets in the state, including more than a dozen of newspaper articles written with more than 100 impressions nationwide.

Utah State Government Appropriation Helps Law Enforcement

Agencies Fight Crime with Anonymous Tip Service ------------------------------

Utahns Can Now Send Anonymous Text and Web Tips to Local Law Enforcement Agencies to Help Fight Crime

SALT LAKE CITY – (Date) – The State of Utah and local law enforcement agencies today announced the addition of a new technology tool to help solve the age old problem of crime prevention: TipSoft. Hoping to capitalize on the proliferation of cell phones and other mobile computing devices, law enforcement agencies in Utah are hoping to take advantage of texting’s privacy and convenience to encourage Utahns to report what they see, especially for those who are less inclined to pick up the phone and call police. The service allows citizens to send anonymous tips online at tipsoft.com or by a text message to “CRIMES” (274637) with an agency specific keyword from a computer or mobile phone. Part of the CrimeReports.com suite of services, TipSoft allows agencies and members of the public to have a two-way dialog that is completely secure and anonymous by encrypting the message and routing it through secure servers. The service can also be used to send photo, video and GPS coordinates, allowing law enforcement officers to efficiently respond to a tip. TipSoft is made available to all Utah law enforcement agencies through a government appropriation geared to help make local communities safer. Currently, 40 Utah law enforcement agencies have added TipSoft to their routine crime prevention efforts. “The widespread use of smartphones and text messaging makes it easy for the public to help law enforcement agencies fight crime,” said (Police Chief). “With TipSoft, citizens can know that it’s safe for them to do the right thing without ever disclosing their identity. We want to encourage the mindset of ‘See it, Say it, Stop it’ when it comes to crime prevention,” s/he said. Since its launch in 2008, TipSoft has proven to be an effective tool for national law enforcement efforts. Its resume includes the following accomplishments:

• An average of $2.4 million in goods is recovered annually. • One in 14 tips result in an arrest. • Nearly one in nine tips clears a case.

Here is the press release which I collaborated on to send out to the media. Although the press release was the same throughout all media outlets, we tailored all our pitches to specific reporters and publications.I had the priviledge of pitching to the Deseret News, Salt Lake Tribune, and Daily Herald along with other local publications.

Frequently Asked Questions about TipSoft What is today’s announcement? Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, the Utah Legislature and local law enforcement agencies have teamed up to provide anonymous tipping capabilities for the public in nearly 50 jurisdictions throughout the State of Utah. What is TipSoft? TipSoft is the world's #1 online tip management application, including fully integrated online WebTips, SMS Text-a-Tip capabilities, and the TipSoft Mobile App available for both iPhone and Android. It is already used by more than 800 law enforcement agencies, schools and CrimeStoppers programs throughout North America. What does SMS stand for? Short Message Service. Text messages sent via cell phone are considered SMS messages. So just what does this SMS stuff make possible? Tipsters are able to submit an anonymous tip via text message from their cell phone. Law enforcement has the ability to reply back to them without knowing their true identity or having access to the source phone number. Law enforcement can communicate with tipsters via computer or by accessing a special application developed for use by PDAs. How much does it cost? The program is being funded at an all-inclusive cost of roughly $1000 per agency per year. There are no SMS surcharges, development, or maintenance or support fees. How is the project being funded? Funds are being provided by Attorney General Mark Shurtleff’s office through an appropriation from the Utah State Legislature for the “Citizen Communications Portal.” Can more agencies join the TipSoft Program? Unfortunately, all funds available under the program have already been allocated. If additional agencies want to join, they may contact CrimeReports.com in the event that additional funds become available to expand the program. My agency isn’t participating yet. Can I still submit tips? Yes. Your tip will be routed to CrimeStoppers USA, which will then provide that information to the appropriate agency. What types of information should be submitted? Any information that will help law enforcement solve or prevent a crime, information about drugs, fights, bullying, suicide attempts, etc. are helpful.

As part of the media kit, we created this Frequently Asked Questions document that was distributed to the attending media.

I have information about a cold case. Can I still submit a tip or is it only for prevention? Yes, you can submit information on cold cases. I’m not sure if the information I have is useful. Should I still submit it? Yes, every bit of information helps. Can anyone submit tips? Yes, via web browser, text or smartphone app. Can I collect a reward for the information I provide? Yes, if your agency is offering a reward. I am worried that information will be tracked back to me. How will I know it’s really secure? When a tip is submitted it is routed through servers in Canada that assign an ID number to the tip. There is no way for your phone number, IP address or any other identifying information about you to ever be retrieved. Can I use this program for problems in my school? Yes, this is an ideal solution for schools. Using a keyword specific to a school allows a student to notify the appropriate authorities of the information being sent. What is a “keyword” and what happens if I do not know it? The keyword is designed to quickly identify the police department that has jurisdiction over the reported crime. This keyword provides faster submission of a tip, for a complete list of all keywords visit www.smscrimetips.com . If your agency or keyword isn’t listed it will be routed to CrimeStoppers USA who will reroute it to the appropriate department. What about tips received after hours and over weekends? Law enforcement can be setup to receive an email notice any time a new tip is received. They can then review the message from a PC or PDA regardless of location. Can I use this system to report an emergency? Absolutely not. TipSoft is not time-sensitive and under no circumstances should it be used to submit request for assistance or used as a 911 replacement. If you have an emergency, you should still dial 911. How does law enforcement communicate back with the tipster? Law enforcement has full ability to communicate back with them via text message and web tips as much as needed. This is called two-way dialog and the tipster remains anonymous throughout the dialog. Is Web Tips available in any other languages? Yes, in both Spanish and French.

How are the apps downloaded? To install this free app, tipsters can search for "TipSoft" or "TipSubmit" on the Apple App Store or Android Market. Do the SmartPhone apps work the same as SMS Tips? When using the app no short code or keywords are required. The app auto-locates the nearest agency that you can submit to or you have the option to select an agency manually. The apps also allow the tipster to include images and video and have fully anonymous two-way dialogue and real-time chat with the receiving agency. Is there a limit to the amount of characters per message? Yes, in Canada it’s 140 characters, while US carriers allow 160. What are the various components of a text message used in the tip submission process? There are three main parts to a text message.

- The Short Code – This is the actual number the tip is sent to rather than a phone number. The same short code applies through all of North America, it is CRIMES (274637). The public can just select the letters “C-R-I-M-E-S” and it will input 274637.

- The Keyword – Keywords are always input at the beginning of the tip to provide the proper routing. The keyword only needs to be included in the original message the very first time they submit a tip. After that, our system is intelligent enough to know where to route all subsequent traffic from that device.

- The Message Body – contains the keyword initially, and then the actual text of the message.

So how does the process actually work? What are the steps, etc? Using Salt Lake City as the example:

1. The tipster sends in the first message, which is formatted with a keyword. They will text “TIPSLCPD plus their tip” to CRIMES (274637). Our server responds with a confirmation and their unique code number.

2. The message is then accessible to the law enforcement agency through the TipSoft application. A copy of the message may also be sent to any email addresses for redundancy.

3. The agency may reply by simply typing in their response and clicking a button. 4. The tipster may respond back to the message simply by replying. 5. No keyword or agency id or any other identifier is needed for any subsequent replies to

the agency. Newly initiated messages by the tipster that are not straight replies to the agency may simply be sent to CRIMES, with no keyword being needed.

Leprosy colonies are not a thing of the past. Millions of lepers in India live in leper colonies and are destined to live a life of begging and pain. Seen as “cursed” by Indian customs, lepers and their children have almost no options to triumph in life. Because those affected by lep-rosy are shunned from soci-ety and seen as cursed, their children experience the same discrimination, regardless of infection.

“The children of lepers are not accepted into schools or government programs, there-fore they cannot get jobs and find normal lives in India,” Shurtleff said. “Those little ones are our main focus.”

Waking up in the mornings and getting ready to visit t h e m a r -kets to beg for money is a reality most lepers in India see as reg ular l i f e . A n d a l t h o u g h leprosy is a l r e ady a distinguish-able disease, many inflict damage to t h e m s e lve s in order to e n h a n c e their chanc-

es to receive charity.“They sometimes make

themselves look worse,” Shur-tleff said. “They burn their already damaged hands to get more sympathy and money when begging on the streets.”

Lundberg explained leprosy is tragic, yet treatable, and those affected can be com-pletely cured.

“The medicines to treat leprosy are free,” Lundberg said. “The real issue is the access, [those affected by lep-rosy] would have to live near a clinic for six months in order to receive the full treatment … [which is] impossible for many.”

Although the main goal for the nursing students to visit India was to treat lepers, they found their assistance en-compassed other areas where their efforts would be just as appreciated.

“When we got to one of the clinics we were ready to heal lepers, but that’s not what we did for the first two days,” Corbett said. “We used crude tools to cut brush down for two days. That’s when we took the opportunity to teach our students that nurses do whatever they need to do to help their patients and those in need.”

Corbett went on to say the experience was an eye-opener and helped her feel grateful.

“Here I was thinking how hot it was and how trivial the work may seem to our stu-dents, when we realized that the person next to us had no toes or fingers and he was not complaining, but working as hard as he could,” Corbett said.

For more information, visit risingstaroutreach.org.


Brian Jensen, chief financial officer for Squeegi, played a sig-nificant role for the launch of the website and shares Davey’s vision.

“We have a hard time going into any website and we wonder what we are going to get while we are in there,” Jensen said. “Unless you’re on lds.org, half the time I’m worried what I’m going to run into. Our goal is to keep things as clean as lds.org.”

Amy Christensen, a BYU stu-dent with children who look to the Internet for entertainment,

said she supports the idea of Squeegi.

“My children are at an age where I can’t be in the room with them all of the time,” Chris-tensen said. “It would be com-forting to know that they could go to a site where they won’t run across something inappropriate incidentally.”

Christensen said many of her acquaintances share her same feelings and like the option Squeegi provides.

“The friends and peers that I

associate with via Facebook and Twitter would also like the same entertainment option for their families,” Christensen said.

Just like Christensen, Jensen has received similar feedback from friends. This kind of feed-back has come from not only people of the BYU and LDS com-munities, but also many people of other faiths who hold the same values.

“I think that there would be more demand for a site like Squeegi.com,” Jensen said.

“There are people of many faiths that I work with, not just Christian, but a lot of denomi-nations that are also looking for a clean website, a place where they can go on the Internet and keep things on the up and up. I think everybody is getting a little tired of all the smut that is out there.”

With increased notoriety, Squeegi’s founders said they hope organizations such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who currently use YouTube to get video messages out there, will consider using Squeegi in the future.

“It will take some time to get the notoriety,” Jensen said. “I don’t think this will happen overnight, and I don’t think YouTube happened overnight. It’s just one of those things that takes a little time. We need to be patient.”

The hieroglyphics on the sarcophagus needed to be hand-painted and required painstaking effort.

The sarcophagus is cur-rently on the fifth floor of the

Harold B. Lee library near the ancient studies section. It was recently moved out from the ancient studies room because of a American papyrological society conference, and is now in the hallway near the south-ern reference desk.

BYU acquired the sarcoph-agus from Kulesus to honor Hugh B. Nibley, who was a large proponent in ancient studies for BYU and knew a great deal about ancient Egypt.

Gary Gillum, the librarian over religion, philosophy and

ancient studies at the time the sarcophagus came to BYU, said he knew BYU wanted to get something different and interesting to honor Nibley.

“BYU wanted something in there [the ancient studies library] that could represent Hugh Nibley and what he loved,” Gillum said.

Apparently, they succeeded.“When we first showed it to

him, he got on his hands and knees to read the hieroglyph-ics,” Gillum said.

Kulesus said Nibley was

fascinated by Egypt and in ad-dition to being curious about hieroglyphics, he was inter-ested in cultures from around the world. He contributed to bringing many books and documents that were rich in historical value to BYU which is why the ancient studies sec-tion was named after him.

John Gee, BYU professor of Egyptology, explained the hieroglyphics on the front matched those on the back, and that they actually told the story of Nakhtefmut and his

family. The hieroglyphics on the front of the sarcophagus match those on the back, un-til the very bottom, where it shows the name of Kulesus, which is not common.

“There are only two or three signed objects from ancient Egypt,” Gee said.

Currently, Kulesus is work-ing on a new sarcophagus proj-ect, Queen Neshkons, a noble lady from Egypt’s third inter-mediate period, and he made sure to get better photographs this time.

”The medicines

to treat leprosy are free. The

real issue is the access.”

fascinated by Egypt and in ad-dition to being curious about hieroglyphics, he was inter-ested in cultures from around the world. He contributed to bringing many books and documents that were rich in historical value to BYU which is why the ancient studies sec-tion was named after him.

John Gee, BYU professor of Egyptology, explained the hieroglyphics on the front matched those on the back, and that they actually told the story of Nakhtefmut and his

family. The hieroglyphics on the front of the sarcophagus match those on the back, un-til the very bottom, where it shows the name of Kulesus, which is not common.

“There are only two or three signed objects from ancient Egypt,” Gee said.

Currently, Kulesus is work-ing on a new sarcophagus proj-ect, Queen Neshkons, a noble lady from Egypt’s third inter-mediate period, and he made sure to get better photographs this time.

As hard as it is to understand a doc-tor’s diagnostic or medical jargon in English, doing it in another language thousands of miles away from the U.S. compounds the difficulty.

This was the mission ROTC cadets from BYU undertook. Along with oth-er officers from institutions of higher learning, these cadets took their lin-guistic talents to Ecuador.

The USNS Comfort, a U.S. hospital

ship which once was an oil tanker, was called to serve on this mission with the cadets. Titled “Operation Continuing Promise,” the mission is one of hope and of keeping a promise. The U.S. Comfort transported the cadets along with supplies, doctors, dentists, optometrists and numerous crew members to Ecuador to provide humanitarian assistance.

U.S. Army Lt. Col. Marc Boberg, battalion commander, professor and chair of the Department of Military Science at BYU, said he takes Opera-tion Continuing Promise as a duty and opportunity to grow.

“Our primary mission was to pro-vide quality Spanish translation to those in need in Ecuador,” Boberg said. “But it was more than that. Our cadets were given an opportunity to understand a new culture and become leaders.”

Although the cadets were pro-ficient in the language, Boberg explained it was not enough to communicate, but that cultural un-derstanding was essential.

“It didn’t matter that they served a Spanish-speaking mission,” Boberg said. “We were looking to take them out of their comfort zones and give

them the opportunities to understand culture by immersion. Many times that is the only way.”

The U.S. Comfort is serving a five month humanitarian effort in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The cadets served as translators for about two weeks, but translating was only the name of the job. They had to learn local lingo and medical termi-nology to provide adequate evalua-tions, prescription explanation and instruction from surgeons and den-tists.

With gasoline costs up and plenty of able cyclists ready to get their cruise on, Provo is jumping into a bike initiative that will advance the city to a new level of green.

Provo City and Mountainland As-sociation of Governments will com-plete a number of connected bike trails between Orem and Spring-ville within the coming months. These trails are following the Provo bike initiative for inter-connectivi-ty between cities that aims to make Utah County one of the best places

to ride in the state.“This plan is really unique,” said

Provo City Council member Ster-ling Beck, who is on the Provo Bike Committee. “We’re working so the bike paths don’t just end at a dead end, and the hope is eventually that all cities in Utah County will work together and you’ll be able to ride from one end of the county to the other.”

The Provo plan is modeled after the Orem plan that was completed last year, with Lehi and American Fork to follow soon.

“I would like to see the trails be done as quickly as possible,” Beck said, admitting it may take some pa-tience to see the project completed

because of the way the project is funded.

The city is not increasing taxes to complete the project. Instead, MAG is offering $100,000 for the study with Provo adding $7,500.

“I think the city could do a better job of promoting the work we’re do-ing,” Beck said.

According to the bike plan, the new travel system will not only make family bike rides enjoyable, but will also create an easier com-mute for cyclists.

“It’s really for both people, people who want to exercise and people who want to commute,” Beck said.

Those looking for a new musical sensory experience may find it Tues-day at the de Jong Concert Hall.

The faculty composers showcase begins at 7:30 p.m. and will feature a special appearance by acclaimed pia-nist Keith Kirchoff.

Michael Hicks, BYU professor of music composition, is planning to at-tend the recital and is enthusiastic about Kirchoff’s abilities.

“We have recitals each semester

that feature faculty composers,” Hicks said. “This one we have a guest artist who is a virtuoso pianist. We’re really honored to have him here.”

The performance is open to the pub-lic and free of charge.

The recital will feature “Medusa in Fragments,” an original work by BYU associate professor and compos-er Steven Ricks. The work has been described in an email from the com-poser as a multimedia theater piece for solo piano, video projection and surround-sound electronics. Ricks said the work represents a major col-laborative effort and features several artists and technicians associated

with BYU.“The music is experimental,” Hicks

said. “It’s very progressive. Particu-larly with the electronics mixed in, this is a great event for the adventur-ous listener.”

Ricks explained how “Medusa in Fragments” came to be.

“Pianist Keith Kirchoff commis-sioned me to write this piece for his ongoing ‘Electro-Acoustic Piano’ proj-ect and has performed it at several venues in the U.S. and abroad, includ-ing its world premiere at the Univer-sity of Toronto New Music Festival in January 2011,” Ricks said.

Ricks said “Medusa in Fragments”

is the collaborative efforts of many associates.

“The monologues and songs in which Medusa reflects on the various characters and events that affected her life present six original texts by BYU author Stephen Tuttle,” Ricks said. “Medusa is acted-sung by sopra-no Jennifer Welch-Babidge and her intense performance was captured and enhanced by film maker and BYU alumnus Ethan Vincent. BYU graphic-video artist Brent Barson added titles and a compelling coda of animated text to the piece.”

There are few things in life better than investing time in young peo-ple. In Utah County, hundreds of chil-dren need help establishing relation-ships with adults who can be positive role models.

Safety Net Mentor Program, a lo-cal non-profit organization, is de-termined to help at-risk youth build positive relationships to aid in the difficulties of becoming successful and productive adults.

To aid in the effort of increasing awareness in the community, Daniel Burleigh, who grew up in a less than ideal family situation, spoke Wednes-day at the Provo City Library.

Burleigh defined his life as “one with many challenges that I con-fronted and now use them to benefit others.”

“Daniel has the most amazing sto-ry,” said Karla Sedillo, director and founder of the Safety Net Program as well as a state-licensed social worker.

Kirchoff will be in town for the Utah premiere of the work before recording it later in the week, Ricks said.

According to Kirchoff’s web-site, his next performance will be in Yorkshire, England, in early August.

The showcase will also fea-ture works by other BYU fac-ulty composers.

“The program will also include several works-move-ments for solo piano by my colleague Christian Asplund and promises to be an exciting evening of new music,” Ricks said.

“The story shows what the human spirit can do. It’s a great story to tell,” she said.

Daniel grew up in a fam-ily in which the parents were separated. His father was an alcoholic and substance abuser, so Daniel spent a lot of time living on the streets. Eventually Daniel sought out the Division of Child and Family Services, asking to be placed into a foster home.

“I eventually reached a point where I had had enough, and turned myself into DCFS to get help,” Burleigh said. “We didn’t have food, I didn’t have a place to stay, hadn’t been attending school, and I was tired of the emotional roller-coaster from being with my dad. I was told I would be taken into state cus-tody as a foster kid because of neglect. I remember being taken to my first foster home with only the dirty clothes on my back.”

Burleigh had a number of difficult experiences during his first and second foster homes, where he was exposed to inappropriate influences.

“I became somewhat jaded by the system that was sup-posed to be protecting me and didn’t have high expectations for myself either,” Burleigh said.

When Daniel was 15, he got into a home where he finally could bring down the walls he had.

“I started going back to church, improving my grades in school and with the help of counseling began rebuild-ing my relationship with my mother and father,” Burleigh said. “I have had the opportu-nity to experience a number of different homes and their

varied ways of raising chil-dren. I learned more about the kind of family I wanted to have myself.”

At 17, Daniel chose to move out on his own through the Independent Living Pro-gram. After finishing his senior year of high school he departed on a two-year LDS mission to Okayama, Japan. About halfway through his mission, he received a call and found out his family had been in a car accident. He lost his 11-month old niece, his fa-ther and mother.

“Throughout my life I have endured and experienced a number of challenges,” Bur-leigh said. “I continue to struggle with the legacy of a broken home, but I also have gained many tools for suc-cess.”

Now, 10 years after com-pleting his mission, he is married and has three kids. He completed a B.A. in psy-chology at Utah Valley Uni-versity and then went on to graduate from BYU’s MBA program, with an emphasis on organizational behavior and strategy. Now he works for Microsoft as a talent and organizational capability consultant.

“Whatever my future holds, I know that I will be actively involved in reaching out to help others,” Burleigh said. “There are too many people who have influenced my life to even mention, but it’s im-portant for me to make a dif-ference in the lives of others, as many have done for me.”

Stories like Burleigh’s are not unique. There are many kids that need the guidance of someone to overcome difficult situations in their lives.

“It’s our belief that every child in our community de-serves to have access to a concerned and responsible adult who will help guide and support them,” Sedillo said. “Mentors have the abil-ity to help set and accomplish goals and act as a positive role model. By creating lifelong

relationships, we can help children reach their full po-tential.”

The Safety Net Mentor Pro-gram exists to help children who have a greater chance of dropping out of school, using substances, becoming runaways or involved in cor-rectional programs, simply because of their lack of posi-tive, stable and consistent adult role models.

“We want to invite students to come and be part of the mentoring program,” Sedillo said. “It’s a great experience for them but also for the kids they are helping.”

Michael Bezzant, a BYU student from Colorado ma-joring in psychology, was invited by his brother to the mentoring program.

“I want to be able to reach out and invest in someone other than myself,” Bezzant said. “Focusing on someone other than one’s self brings greater meaning and purpose to life.”

Mentors spend a minimum of one hour weekly for a mini-mum of one year with a child. A monthly in-service meeting provides further training for mentors and gives them a chance to share ideas. Men-tors must be at least 21 and undergo a formal background check.

“I want to make a differ-ence in someone’s life. I hope that the mentoring I’m doing will give hope to my mentee and will provide a positive example for him,” said Jona-than Neubert, a BYU student majoring in microbiology.

“In Utah County there was a little boy homeless, there are other kids that need us,” Burleigh said. “You don’t need to go to Haiti or Ghana; more people should jump in and solve community prob-lems.”

“But I’m hoping more peo-ple will use the bike paths for trips under a mile that people could take by walking or bik-ing, but haven’t done so before because it was a little unsafe without a path,” Beck said.

Cutting back on traffic and keeping smog levels lower are just some of the reasons Beck believes locals will use the paths.

“This new plan will be huge for Provo and make it so that it will be easier to get anywhere in the city by bike, especially for students,” said Jamie Littlefield of bikeprovo.org.

Beck said he isn’t confident the committee will be able to make the whole city bike friendly, but he hopes to make downtown Provo and other popular areas accessible to cyclists.

“We’d like to double the amount of bike lanes that we have,” he said. “So I’d like to see a 15.5 percent model shift, where people who normally

take a car would instead take a bike or walk and that would have a huge, dramatic shift on our traffic patterns.”

According to the proposal, the project will create a com-prehensive bicycle facilities master plan for Provo and de-tail ways to connect existing and planned facilities among Provo and its surrounding communities. One highlight is the plan will incorporate connections to multiple trans-portation modes, including buses and parking lots.

“I think one of the things we’re seeing is a dramatic change across the nation be-cause a lot of cities are build-ing bike paths to encourage transportation,” Beck said.

Although there are still some decisions that need to be made, the Provo Bike Com-mittee hopes to have a consul-tant selected by mid-August.

“We need to make sure we know where the bicycle lanes need to be and we don’t have a contract yet, so that’s going to take some time to acquire that information,” said Casey Serr, manager of planning and development for Provo city. “And then once we see a bike plan that has been put to-gether, it will be implemented as budgets and projects will allow. There is not a set date as to when that will be yet, but

once that happens we will be-gin work.”

Provo Bike Committee members, including MAG representative Jim Price, Bike Committee Chairman Zac Whitmore, GIS analyst Phil Uhl, Beck and many oth-ers, will help the city deter-mine solutions to issues such as route feasibility, bike lane funding and more.

The goals of the project include obtaining commu-nity consensus, making im-provements to bicycle safety, analyzing current conditions, identifying funding sources and developing standards for new facilities.

Matt Widmer, a teacher’s assistant for the BYU moun-tain biking class, said al-though the paths are a good idea, they most likely won’t motivate more students to bike to work and school.

“I don’t think the paths re-ally are going to get people to ride bikes more, but it does make it easier for them to do it,” he said. “I think what we really need is to understand that riding bikes doesn’t take that much longer than driv-ing and it’s good for you.”

Widmer said when people understand more about traffic congestion and parking prob-lems they will be motivated to start peddling.


“We are working together [with the people from Ecuador] to help them,” Boberg said. “We are not just transporting supplies. We work together and are open to learn and share techniques with the doctors.”

The ship served as the pri-mary site where operations and the more complicated medical procedures would take place. Because of this it was normal for the officers to use local sites such as schools to set up medi-cal centers to provide extra services.

“While the ship was being used for surgeries and treat-ments that required more ad-vance equipment, we would set up schools and see about 700 pa-tients a day — in total we saw over 9,000 patients,” Boberg said.

The mission and prescreen-ing efforts were coordinated with the local governments

and armed forces. Boberg said although their mission brought them there, it did not mean they could just enter wherever they wanted just because they were to provide aid.

“We definitely coordinated with the local armed forces and ministry of health,” Bo-berg said. “They had decided which cases needed addi-tional assistance and what we were there to do.”

The officers and volunteers worked roughly 12-hour days. They spent most days inter-acting with local authorities, patients and other members of the U.S. armed forces.

Although serving as Span-ish translators for military medical personnel gave the cadets involved an insight into humanitarian missions, it was the real-life application of their skills which greatly served their development.

“I’ve worked on some hu-manitarian missions in Mex-ico and have had college-level Spanish, but talking to native speakers for 10 or more hours day in and day out, translat-ing in a professional setting and learning medical terms on the fly really pushed my speaking abilities,” said cadet Benjamin Dagg, a sophomore

majoring in Spanish and po-litical science, from Wheaton College in Storrs, Conn.

Meeting people from differ-ent backgrounds, cultures, religions and lifestyles were important to cadet Logan Cicotte, BYU senior from Har-risburg, Pa., majoring in lin-guistics.

“You can study a country and its language in a college course,” Cicotte said. “But you can’t truly understand people until you get to know them, learn what they believe about their own culture and history and what they believe about the United States.”

Cadets and volunteers built relationships with the people they served. They rep-resented the U.S. Army in a professional capacity. Cicotte said it was an opportunity to understand other people and culture while maybe helping them to understand U.S. cul-ture as well.

Boberg said his cadets’ sense of duty translated be-yond their language efforts.

“We have a great oppor-tunity to help those in need, regardless of political cli-mates,” he said. “What we did was helping our brothers — no matter in what language.”

Students often enjoy Open Mic Nights for comedy and musical talent, but most stu-dents don’t realize there is an Open Mic Night for poetry in Provo.

At The Coffee Pod every other Thursday at 8 p.m., Poet-ry Open Mic Night allows art-ists and non-artists to come together and express their thoughts, or to simply enjoy local creative talent.

The idea to meet up a few times a month and share poetry came from two BYU students looking for a way to express their artistic talents. Last September, Jack Mur-phy, a junior from St. Louis studying philosophy and Rus-sian, and Conner Bassett, a junior from Las Vegas study-ing Russian and comparative literature, decided to find a location to feature the gather-ing. The Coffee Pod on Bull-dog Boulevard and 500 West seemed like the perfect place to allow anybody with an artistic inclination to show their talent.

“We’ve both written poetry for a good part of our lives, and we wanted to share that with others and give them an opportunity to express what they have as well,” Murphy said.

The Coffee Pod offers a place for people to relax among friends, meet new people and enjoy a night of the ancient art

of poetry reading.“When reading poetry out

loud, you see the poem for what it is; half of the poem is the words, but the other half is the sound of it,” Bassett said. “Reading and hearing it out loud is a completely differ-ent experience.”

Bassett said all styles of poetry are encouraged: slam, traditional, free verse, etc.

“Since September of last year, we now average around 30-80 people,” Bassett said. “We even had a night where 120 people came to hear our guest speaker Alex Caldiero, who is known for his avant-garde style; which is a bit more experimental and inno-vative.”

Brice Peterson, a senior from Orem studying English and Russian, said the reason this poetry night started, and the reason why it has been such a success, is because it supports the local arts and a location for the artistic to show what they can do.

“Local artists have a chance to share what they write in a relaxed environment without a lot of pressure to perform,” Peterson said. “When you write and perform something, you put yourself on the line, and you enjoy the benefit of what you just did.”

As communities participate in the arts, Bassett said, they can substantially progress.

“We want to support the lo-cal arts, they are the vehicle to improvement in the local community,” he said.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter-day Saints is reminding its senior leaders that they should

steer clear of politics as a cam-paign season ramps up and two of the faith’s own compete for the GOP presidential nomination.

In a letter sent June 16, church President Thomas S. Monson and his senior counselors said lay leaders with full-time church re-

sponsibilities and their spouses should not participate in political campaigns. That includes mak-ing endorsements or financial contributions.

The letter was sent to the high-est officers of the Church. Part-time leaders are not barred from such political involvement.

A church website post de-scribes the letter as a restatement and clarification of an existing policy of political neutrality. The church does not back individual candidates or political parties. It also bans the use of church buildings or church-generated information for political purpos-es and asks candidates to refrain from making statements or infer-ences that suggest they have the church’s support.

The Mormon church does, however, engage in political ac-tivism or campaigns when its leaders believe an issue of moral importance is at stake.

That would include the faith’s involvement in the 2006 ballot initiative Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in Califor-nia, and its efforts to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s.

Political experts say the tim-ing of the letter and a restatement of church policy should come as no surprise.

Two Mormons — former Mas-sachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman — have jumped into the race for the Republican presidential nom-ination.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — An Amtrak train attendant filed the first lawsuit over a crash that injured her and killed at least six people in Nevada last week, as more details emerged Tuesday about the driving record of the trucker whose big rig plowed into the double-decker rail cars.

The suit was filed in Wash-oe County District Court in

Nevada by Alexandra Cur-tis of Evanston, Ill., who is among about 20 people in-jured in the crash east of Reno on Friday. Her lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of truck driver Lawrence Val-li, 43, and his employer, John Davis Trucking Co., say-ing that he ignored railroad crossing gates and warning signals.

Parents should be proactive in their efforts to teach their children about the media they encounter and warn them of the potential temporal and spiritual dangers it poses, said Laura Padilla-Walker, Tues-day’s forum speaker.

Padilla-Walker, from the School of Family Life, shared her thoughts about using cor-rect methods to help children and adolescents learn of the dangers of media. She said par-ents often want to cocoon their children from media instead of letting them encounter the media with their parents. How-ever, this is not always the best option.

“Research suggests that strict cocooning of the media is not very effective,” Padilla-Walker said, “especially as adolescents get older and can view media at a friend’s house or on a portable media device. It seems to be more effective to use pre-arming, which is to talk to adolescents about media that they may encounter and to offer them strategies with which to deal with potential inappropriate types of media.”

Padilla-Walker shared an example of pre-arming and the benefi ts that it can have in

teaching children. She said a video game researcher told her his pre-arming has been so ef-fective that his daughter often criticizes the video games and media that he wants to partici-pate in with her. This example highlights the strong infl uence pre-arming can have on chil-dren, and shows potential ben-efi t of parents engaging in me-dia with their teens, she said.

“If parents use media with their children, for example, playing video games or watch-ing movies with teens, or even texting their teens, this can strengthen family ties,” Padil-la-Walker said.

Playing video games as a family creates opportuni-ties where parenting can oc-cur, she said. This provides a “platform” for parents to teach children about media content. Watching appropriate media or playing appropriate video games have been shown to lead to a greater parent-child con-nection, she said, adding that it can open up communication within families and allow dis-cussion about key issues.

“I remember numerous con-versations I had as a teenager that began as a result of some-thing we watched together on television,” Padilla-Walker said.

Parents should use dif-ferent methods for teaching children of different ages,

genders and temperaments, she said, adding that certain parental methods work bet-ter for each group. Parental cocooning may be appropri-ate during early childhood, but pre-teen and adolescents are benefited most by pre-arming, she said.

Some children are more susceptible to aggressive

peer or media influences, so reasoned cocooning in child-hood may be appropriate, she said. In contrast, a child who is good at regulating on their own may need less cocooning. She said gender is different. For example, playing video games with children seems to be more beneficial to girls than boys. In contrast, texting

and calling on cellphones is negatively related to girls but more beneficial to boys.

Padilla-Walker shared one study focusing on early adoles-cents around age 11. She said any strategy of pre-arming seemed to be positively associ-ated with healthy outcomes for early teens, whereas deference, or allowing children to make their own decisions without parental discussion, was not.

“Mothers and fathers who used pre-arming, reasoned def-erence or reasoned cocooning all had children with higher levels of empathy and self-regulation than parents who used deference alone,” Padilla-Walker said. “We also found that mothers who used these strategies had children with lower levels of depression and delinquency than those who used deference alone.”

She added that correct meth-ods are different for middle-aged teens around age 14. The best method involves allowing adolescents to internalize cor-rect principles, focusing on fos-tering independence instead of getting compliance. As adoles-cents internalize values, they are more likely to live the prin-ciples than if they are forced to comply, she said.

She gave an example of an in-ternalized value with her own daughter’s behavior.

“A few weeks ago when my

daughter asked me if I was go-ing to thank her for helping me, I said, ‘Did you help me just to get a thank you?’” Padilla-Walker said. “To which she re-plied, ‘No, I helped you because I love you.’”

Internalized values bring about pro-social behavior, she said. The parents who talk to their adolescents but also al-lowed agency had the biggest effect on pro-social behavior.

“If parents start early, talk-ing to their children about values and behaviors. … It is likely that once teens hit mid-adolescence about ages 14 or 15, their values will be begin-ning to solidify and will be at least moderately reflected in their behavior … allowing parents to step back and defer to the child,” Padilla-Walker said.

It is important to lead by example and acknowledge our own faults and be willing to face them, she said. At the same time, parents should be aware of children’s potential pitfalls in helping them individually and spiritually.

“It is my prayer that we will seize the opportunity to be pro-active today,” Padilla-Walker said, “in our own lives, and in the lives of our children; and actively use the daily oppor-tunities we have to strengthen ourselves, our families and those around us.”

MARIETTA, Ga. — A wom-an who was arrested after her 4-year-old son was struck and killed by a van as they were jaywalking across a busy street was spared a prison sen-tence Tuesday following an outcry over her arrest.

Raquel Nelson, 30, was con-victed by a jury earlier this month of vehicular homicide and other charges for not us-ing a crosswalk and could have gotten three years behind bars — far more than the six months the hit-and-run driver served.

Instead, without explana-tion, Judge Kathryn Tanksley gave the suburban Atlanta mother a year's probation, or-dered 40 hours of community service, and took the unusual step of offering her a new trial. Nelson's lawyer said late Tues-day that she will take the judge up on the offer.

A crowd of supporters broke out in applause.

"I'm ready to go home," a relieved-looking Nelson said. "I'm walking out of here. I don't feel like I can be more satisfi ed."

Prosecutors' extremely rare decision to bring charges

against the grieving mother had created a furor, with Nel-son's supporters calling the move cruel and heartless.

More than 125,000 people joined an online petition cam-paign asking for mercy. The Georgia branch of the NAACP called the case against the sin-gle black mother a "grave mis-carriage of justice." And the judge said her offi ce had been fl ooded with letters and emails from around the country.

The accident happened in April 2010 along a busy fi ve-lane street.

Nelson and her three chil-dren had just gotten off a bus after a long day, and she was eager to return home because it was getting dark, said her lawyer, David Savoy. Instead of walking to a crosswalk three-tenths of a mile away, she led her children to a me-dian. According to testimony, her daughter darted across the street and son A.J. followed.

She chased after them and was struck and injured.

The driver, Jerry Guy, pleaded guilty to hit-and-run. According to court records, he had been drinking earlier in the day while taking pain med-ication, was partially blind in one eye, and had two previous hit-and-run convictions from 1997.

As for the decision to charge Nelson, too, "these cases are inherently difficult because they are unintentional," pros-ecutor Annamarie Baltz ex-plained. "But the state is bound to uphold the law."

Nevertheless, Baltz asked for probation for Nelson and said prosecutors never intend-ed to send her to prison.

In an appearance on NBC's "Today" show Monday, Nelson said: "I think to come after me so much harder than they did after him is a slap in the face. This will never end for me."

Savoy argued that his client has already suffered enough for her mistake. He said pros-ecutors would never charge a parent who accidentally left open a pool gate if a child drowned, or a parent who fed a hot dog to a youngster who choked on it.

"Do not make A.J.'s death an act that washes over this fam-ily like a tidal wave," he said. "There's no legitimate basis to make this family continue to suffer."Inside the courthouse, Nelson's supporters gathered in the halls for a prayer vigil and urged the judge not to pun-ish her any further."Every day she gets up, she pays her debt," said Beverly Ward, who was A.J.'s preschool teacher.

Advocates seized on the

case as evidence that the car-choked Atlanta metropolitan area needs better crosswalks.

"It's really cruel and a big waste of taxpayer money" to prosecute Nelson, said Sally Flocks, founder of PEDS, an Atlanta pedestrian advocacy group. "What is anybody going to learn from this? Raquel lost her precious son. The lesson she learned already is quit us-ing transit and buy a car to get around. It's too dangerous to cross the streets here."

The case has been the talk of Georgia legal circles.

J. Tom Morgan, a former DeKalb County district at-torney who specialized in the prosecution of crimes against children, said he was sur-prised prosecutors targeted Nelson.

"She wasn't out drinking," he said. "In a case like this where the mother suffered the tragic loss of a child, and there's no gross negligence, I wouldn't have involved the criminal justice system."

And W. Scott Smith, a de-fense attorney, said he has nev-er heard of a similar prosecu-tion in his 11 years in practice.

"It's one of those things that if you're the state, you've got to use common sense. The person is going to live with themselves the rest of their lives," he said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Ten-nessee appeals court says an un-executed marriage license for American frontiersman Davy Crockett belongs to the county

where it was issued in 1805.The Tennessee Court of Ap-

peals upheld a trial court rul-ing that ordered a Tampa, Fla., woman to give up the document to east Tennessee's Jefferson County.

Margaret Vance Smith claimed a relative saved the

document from destruction long ago when the county discarded old records.

But Jefferson County offi-cials argued the original mar-riage license of Crockett and Margaret Elder belongs to the county because it's a permanent record.

Smith turned over the docu-ment last year after the trial court ruled for the county.

Smith appealed, but the ap-peals court upheld the ruling Tuesday.

Crockett, a politician and soldier who died at The Alamo, never married Elder.

A final season in the Moun-tain West Conference was inch-es away from more success for BYU baseball in 2011.

“It is with mixed emotions that we leave the Mountain West,” said BYU coach Vance Law. “I have really enjoyed my association with the fine coaches in this conference and I will miss the competition that comes along with that. On the other hand we are excited to go into the West Coast Conference and compete against some very fine baseball programs as well.”

Law completed his 12th sea-son with BYU baseball and tal-lied a 31-27 overall record and an 11-12 mark for a third place league finish.

Games with Pac-10 oppo-nents yielded an upset victory at No. 6 Arizona State behind a great pitching performance by Blake Torgerson and taking two of three games at Wash-ington.

Against future West Coast Conference opponents the Cou-gars had a two-game sweep at the University of Portland,

won two of three games at Pep-perdine and split a two-game series with Gonzaga.

“I have no doubt that from top to bottom the West Coast Conference is a very tough conference and I believe that we make it even stronger,” Law said. “ No team in that confer-ence can be taken lightly and I am anxious to go in and com-pete against them.”

While offensive numbers were down in college baseball because of new bat standards, BYU produced one of its lowest earned run averages in school history at 3.98.

“The depth in our pitching staff really showed this year in the number of very close ball games that we had,” Law said. “Coach [Bobby] Applegate did a marvelous job of getting our pitchers ready.”

The Cougars were well above the national average, hitting 0.72 homers a game, scoring 5.88 runs a game and 0.83 sacrifice bunts a game.

“Offensively, I was disap-pointed that we didn’t score more runs,” law said. “Bet-ter execution certainly would have put more runs on the board leading to more wins. We will certainly be working on that this coming fall as

well as cutting down on the number of strikeouts.”

The Cougars recorded 11 come-from-behind victories and posted a 4-3 record in ex-tra-inning games. There were nine one-run games which went into BYU’s victory col-umn and seven other one-run games that could have result-ed in an even more successful season.

Pitchers Matthew Neil (6-4, 2.42) and Taylor Cole (5-5, 2.99) were both selected in the 29th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Florida Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, respectively, have signed contracts and are now in their first seasons of profes-sional baseball.

Neil, a second-team All-MWC performer, was named national pitcher of the week by CollegeBaseballInsider.com and the Mountain West Pitcher of the Week for his 2-0 record, a 0.00 ERA in two appearances in one-run victories over Utah and New Mexico in 11 score-less innings. That victory against UNM was preserved in the eighth inning when first baseman Austin Hall charged a tough grounder to make a game-saving putout at home plate to catcher Wes Guenther.

There were some notable performances this season by the Cougars. Freshman out-fielder Jaycob Brugman led the team in doubles (19), tri-ples (5), RBI (49), total bases (121) and league batting av-erage (.418). Brugman was named to the Freshman All-American First Team by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers, Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball magazine, MWC Freshman of the Year and First Team All-MWC.

Brugman (13) and fellow outfielders Stephen Wells (7) and Ryan Bernal (6) recorded 26 assists to tie Nicholls State as the national leader in that category.

Pitchers Desmond Poulson (6-0, 4.15) and Kolton Mahoney (four saves) were also named to the Louisville Slugger Fresh-man All-American squad.

Another highlight was An-drew Law recording an unas-sisted triple play (6-U-U-U) off an infield fly rule against host San Diego State in the MWC Tournament.

Eleven of the Cougars were selected to the Academic All-MWC squad and five were honored as MWC Scholar-Ath-letes.

BYU baseball completes season


WASHINGTON — Children now make up less of America’s population than ever before, even with a boost from immi-grant families.

And when this generation grows up, it will become a shrinking work force that will have to support the nation’s expanding elderly popula-tion — even as the govern-ment strains to cut spending for health care, pensions and much else.

The latest 2010 census data show that children of immi-grants make up one in four people under 18, and are now the fastest-growing segment of the nation’s youth, an indica-tion that both legal and illegal immigrants as well as minor-ity births are lifting the na-tion’s population.

Currently, the share of chil-dren in the U.S. is 24 percent, falling below the previous low of 26 percent of 1990. The share is projected to slip further, to 23 percent by 2050, even as the percentage of people 65 and older is expected to jump from 13 percent today to roughly 20 percent by 2050 due to the ag-ing of baby boomers and be-yond.

In 1900, the share of children reached as high as 40 percent, compared to a much smaller 4 percent share for seniors 65 and older. The percentage of children in subsequent de-cades held above 30 percent until 1980, when it fell to 28 percent amid declining birth rates, mostly among whites.

“There are important impli-cations for the future of the U.S. because the increasing costs of providing for an older popula-tion may reduce the public re-sources that go to children,” said William P. O’Hare, a se-nior consultant with the Bal-timore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, a children’s advo-cacy group.

Pointing to signs that many children are already strug-gling, O’Hare added: “These raise urgent questions about whether today’s children will have the resources they need to help care for America’s grow-ing elderly population.”

The numbers are largely based on an analysis by the Population Reference Bureau, a nonprofit research group in Washington that studies global and U.S. trends. In some cases, the data were supplemented with additional census projec-tions on U.S. growth from 2010-2050 as well as figures compiled by the Annie E. Casey Founda-tion’s Kids Count project.

Nationwide, the number of children has grown by 1.9 mil-lion, or 2.6 percent, since 2000. That represents a drop-off from the previous decade, when even higher rates of immigration by Latinos — who are more likely than some other ethnic groups to have large families — helped increase the number of chil-dren by 8.7 million, or 13.7 per-cent.

Percentages aside, 23 states and the District of Columbia had declines in their numbers of children in the century’s first decade, with Michigan, Rhode Island, Vermont and D.C. seeing some of the biggest drops.

On the other hand, states with some of the biggest in-creases — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Caro-lina and Texas — also ranked in the bottom one-third of states in terms of child well-being as measured by the Kids Count project. The project cal-culated child well-being based on levels of poverty, single-parent families, unemploy-ment, high-school dropouts and other factors.

The slowing population growth in the U.S. mirrors to a lesser extent the situation in other developed nations, including Russia, Japan and France which are seeing re-duced growth or population losses due to declining birth rates and limited immigra-tion. The combined popula-tion of more-developed coun-tries other than the U.S. is projected to decline beginning in 2016, raising the prospect of prolonged budget crises as the number of working-age citi-zens diminish, pension costs rise and tax revenues fall.

Japan, France, Germany and Canada each have lower shares of children under age 15, ranging between 13 per-cent in Japan and 17 percent in Canada, while nations in Af-rica and the Middle East have some of the largest shares, including 50 percent in Niger and 46 percent in Afghanistan, according to figures from the United Nations Population Di-vision.

In the U.S., the share of chil-dren under 15 is 20 percent.

Depending on future rates of immigration, the U.S. popula-tion is estimated to continue growing through at least 2050.

In a hypothetical situation in which all immigration — both legal and illegal — immediate-ly stopped, the U.S. could lose population beginning in 2048, according to the latest census projections.

Since 2000, the increase for children in the U.S. — 1.9 mil-lion — has been due to racial and ethnic minorities.

Currently, 54 percent of the nation’s children are non-His-panic white, compared to 23 percent Hispanic, 14 percent black, and 4 percent Asian.

Over the past decade, the number of non-Hispanic white children declined 10 percent to 39.7 million, while the num-ber of minority children rose 22 percent to 34.5 million. Hispanics, as well as Asians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Is-landers and multiracial chil-dren represented all of the growth. The number of black and American Indian children declined.

In nearly one of five U.S. counties, minority children already outnumber white chil-dren.

“The ‘minority youth bulge’ is being driven primarily by children in immigrant fami-lies,” said Mark Mather, as-sociate vice president of the Population Reference Bureau who co-wrote a report released Tuesday on the subject. “They are transforming America’s schools, and in a generation they will transform the racial-ethnic composition of the U.S. work force.”

“Policymakers are paying a lot of attention to the elderly, but we have a large population of children who have their own needs,” he said.

“It is with mixed emotions that we leave the Mountain West,” said BYU coach Vance Law. “I have really enjoyed my association with the fine coaches in this conference and I will miss the competition that comes along with that. On the other hand we are excited to go into the West Coast Conference and compete against some very fine baseball programs as well.”

Law completed his 12th sea-son with BYU baseball and tal-lied a 31-27 overall record and an 11-12 mark for a third place league finish.

Games with Pac-10 oppo-nents yielded an upset victory at No. 6 Arizona State behind a great pitching performance by Blake Torgerson and taking two of three games at Wash-ington.

Against future West Coast Conference opponents the Cou-gars had a two-game sweep at the University of Portland,

won two of three games at Pep-perdine and split a two-game series with Gonzaga.

“I have no doubt that from top to bottom the West Coast Conference is a very tough conference and I believe that we make it even stronger,” Law said. “ No team in that confer-ence can be taken lightly and I am anxious to go in and com-pete against them.”

While offensive numbers were down in college baseball because of new bat standards, BYU produced one of its lowest earned run averages in school history at 3.98.

“The depth in our pitching staff really showed this year in the number of very close ball games that we had,” Law said. “Coach [Bobby] Applegate did a marvelous job of getting our pitchers ready.”

The Cougars were well above the national average, hitting 0.72 homers a game, scoring 5.88 runs a game and 0.83 sacrifice bunts a game.

“Offensively, I was disap-pointed that we didn’t score more runs,” law said. “Bet-ter execution certainly would have put more runs on the board leading to more wins. We will certainly be working on that this coming fall as

well as cutting down on the number of strikeouts.”

The Cougars recorded 11 come-from-behind victories and posted a 4-3 record in ex-tra-inning games. There were nine one-run games which went into BYU’s victory col-umn and seven other one-run games that could have result-ed in an even more successful season.

Pitchers Matthew Neil (6-4, 2.42) and Taylor Cole (5-5, 2.99) were both selected in the 29th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Florida Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, respectively, have signed contracts and are now in their first seasons of profes-sional baseball.

Neil, a second-team All-MWC performer, was named national pitcher of the week by CollegeBaseballInsider.com and the Mountain West Pitcher of the Week for his 2-0 record, a 0.00 ERA in two appearances in one-run victories over Utah and New Mexico in 11 score-less innings. That victory against UNM was preserved in the eighth inning when first baseman Austin Hall charged a tough grounder to make a game-saving putout at home plate to catcher Wes Guenther.

There were some notable performances this season by the Cougars. Freshman out-fielder Jaycob Brugman led the team in doubles (19), tri-ples (5), RBI (49), total bases (121) and league batting av-erage (.418). Brugman was named to the Freshman All-American First Team by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers, Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball magazine, MWC Freshman of the Year and First Team All-MWC.

Brugman (13) and fellow outfielders Stephen Wells (7) and Ryan Bernal (6) recorded 26 assists to tie Nicholls State as the national leader in that category.

Pitchers Desmond Poulson (6-0, 4.15) and Kolton Mahoney (four saves) were also named to the Louisville Slugger Fresh-man All-American squad.

Another highlight was An-drew Law recording an unas-sisted triple play (6-U-U-U) off an infield fly rule against host San Diego State in the MWC Tournament.

Eleven of the Cougars were selected to the Academic All-MWC squad and five were honored as MWC Scholar-Ath-letes.

BYU baseball completes season


WASHINGTON — Children now make up less of America’s population than ever before, even with a boost from immi-grant families.

And when this generation grows up, it will become a shrinking work force that will have to support the nation’s expanding elderly popula-tion — even as the govern-ment strains to cut spending for health care, pensions and much else.

The latest 2010 census data show that children of immi-grants make up one in four people under 18, and are now the fastest-growing segment of the nation’s youth, an indica-tion that both legal and illegal immigrants as well as minor-ity births are lifting the na-tion’s population.

Currently, the share of chil-dren in the U.S. is 24 percent, falling below the previous low of 26 percent of 1990. The share is projected to slip further, to 23 percent by 2050, even as the percentage of people 65 and older is expected to jump from 13 percent today to roughly 20 percent by 2050 due to the ag-ing of baby boomers and be-yond.

In 1900, the share of children reached as high as 40 percent, compared to a much smaller 4 percent share for seniors 65 and older. The percentage of children in subsequent de-cades held above 30 percent until 1980, when it fell to 28 percent amid declining birth rates, mostly among whites.

“There are important impli-cations for the future of the U.S. because the increasing costs of providing for an older popula-tion may reduce the public re-sources that go to children,” said William P. O’Hare, a se-nior consultant with the Bal-timore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, a children’s advo-cacy group.

Pointing to signs that many children are already strug-gling, O’Hare added: “These raise urgent questions about whether today’s children will have the resources they need to help care for America’s grow-ing elderly population.”

The numbers are largely based on an analysis by the Population Reference Bureau, a nonprofit research group in Washington that studies global and U.S. trends. In some cases, the data were supplemented with additional census projec-tions on U.S. growth from 2010-2050 as well as figures compiled by the Annie E. Casey Founda-tion’s Kids Count project.

Nationwide, the number of children has grown by 1.9 mil-lion, or 2.6 percent, since 2000. That represents a drop-off from the previous decade, when even higher rates of immigration by Latinos — who are more likely than some other ethnic groups to have large families — helped increase the number of chil-dren by 8.7 million, or 13.7 per-cent.

Percentages aside, 23 states and the District of Columbia had declines in their numbers of children in the century’s first decade, with Michigan, Rhode Island, Vermont and D.C. seeing some of the biggest drops.

On the other hand, states with some of the biggest in-creases — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Caro-lina and Texas — also ranked in the bottom one-third of states in terms of child well-being as measured by the Kids Count project. The project cal-culated child well-being based on levels of poverty, single-parent families, unemploy-ment, high-school dropouts and other factors.

The slowing population growth in the U.S. mirrors to a lesser extent the situation in other developed nations, including Russia, Japan and France which are seeing re-duced growth or population losses due to declining birth rates and limited immigra-tion. The combined popula-tion of more-developed coun-tries other than the U.S. is projected to decline beginning in 2016, raising the prospect of prolonged budget crises as the number of working-age citi-zens diminish, pension costs rise and tax revenues fall.

Japan, France, Germany and Canada each have lower shares of children under age 15, ranging between 13 per-cent in Japan and 17 percent in Canada, while nations in Af-rica and the Middle East have some of the largest shares, including 50 percent in Niger and 46 percent in Afghanistan, according to figures from the United Nations Population Di-vision.

In the U.S., the share of chil-dren under 15 is 20 percent.

Depending on future rates of immigration, the U.S. popula-tion is estimated to continue growing through at least 2050.

In a hypothetical situation in which all immigration — both legal and illegal — immediate-ly stopped, the U.S. could lose population beginning in 2048, according to the latest census projections.

Since 2000, the increase for children in the U.S. — 1.9 mil-lion — has been due to racial and ethnic minorities.

Currently, 54 percent of the nation’s children are non-His-panic white, compared to 23 percent Hispanic, 14 percent black, and 4 percent Asian.

Over the past decade, the number of non-Hispanic white children declined 10 percent to 39.7 million, while the num-ber of minority children rose 22 percent to 34.5 million. Hispanics, as well as Asians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Is-landers and multiracial chil-dren represented all of the growth. The number of black and American Indian children declined.

In nearly one of five U.S. counties, minority children already outnumber white chil-dren.

“The ‘minority youth bulge’ is being driven primarily by children in immigrant fami-lies,” said Mark Mather, as-sociate vice president of the Population Reference Bureau who co-wrote a report released Tuesday on the subject. “They are transforming America’s schools, and in a generation they will transform the racial-ethnic composition of the U.S. work force.”

“Policymakers are paying a lot of attention to the elderly, but we have a large population of children who have their own needs,” he said.

A primary goal for the Department of Communications at BYU was to showcase the accom-plishements the various emphases have achieved.

We primarily worked as a team to finalize collateral pieces that included banners, brochures, a digital signage, and alumni boards.

Section 5

All alumni boards were created using the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically InDesign. There were a total of four boards and they all required heavy editing along with creative thinking and efforts to place inside the cases.

The building’s digital signage was also one of our primary objectives. The daily upkeep and design changes were challenging due to my inexperience. I learned a lot about lever-aging others while thinking creatively to be relevant.

As a team we planned and oversaw certain portions of the annual open house event. I personally gave tours of the Bradley Public Agency and answered questions about the major. While team members focused on driving numbers for tours and presentations.

The department newsletter and site was a primary focus. We were able to focus on le-veraging individuals with coding skills to modify it. We wrote articles and managed the email database to send to alumni and others who are subscribed.

Teens ACT is a non-profit organization that is committed to increasing high school graduation rates by empowering under-resourced students to obtain a post-secondary education, thus achieving their greatest potential.

My experience working with Teens ACT developed my understanding of key publics and motivating messages. Due to the specific target audience we seek to impact, messages had to be developed in such ways they would reach motivating factors within those publics.

The following works demonstrate some collateral items created as part of Comms 421 course work and later as a part-time intern.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

At-risk Students Invite Others to Aim Higher

BYU graduate assists at-risk high school students in graduating and going to college.

PROVO, Utah Oct 21- Children of immigrants are finding out pursuing the American dream is

more than immigrating to the land of opportunity. Children of immigrants face harder times

being successful in school, but a non-profit organization from Provo is working hard to turn this

around.

! Dayan Bernal, a BYU graduate from Bolivia, came with her parents to America when she

was a little girl and found herself in the at-risk category when she attended high school. Because

of her own struggles to figure out how to be successful in the American school system, Bernal

formed TeensACT (http://www.teens-act.org) in hopes to bring opportunities to at risk-students

which may help them in achieving their potential.

! “I am able to relate to my students and tell them it is possible,” Bernal said. “ I continue to

share my personal story and tell them I see great opportunities coming their way.”

! In 2007, Bernal designed, and taught, a college preparation class (http://news.byu.edu/

archive10-apr-collegematerial.aspx) for Latino sophomores at Provo High School. Four years

later 17 of the 25 students (http://www.teens-act.org/impact/) are enrolled in college, and her

dream of expanding the program to become a nonprofit organization has become a reality. This is

the reason why TeensACT is bringing together those who participated in the experiment to invite

others to join and be successful.

2 At-risk Students Invite Others to Aim Higher

! TeensACT is actively looking to establish strong relationships with all of Utah County high

schools and will be bringing all previous participants together at its first “TeensACT Action

Meeting” to tell their stories and invite others to do the same.

! “At TeensACT we understand what is like to feel alone when it comes to school and being

students,” Bernal said. “Sometimes there is the need to have someone who understands you to

help you and that is where TeensACT comes in.”

! Juan Bustos, from Mexico and a senior student attending UVU, said he never thought he

would accomplish his education goals.

! “If you would have told me five years ago I would be about to graduate from college I

would have said ‘you are loco.’” Bustos said.

! The TeensACT Action Meeting at will be held at Provo High School. The dinner will

begin at 6pm and will be followed by a presentation delivered by Bernal. The presentation will

include a panel of the firt time TeensACT participants answering questions. For more info visit

Subject: Students learn from tutoring

Barbara,

I just wanted to say I have enjoyed your articles focusing on local students assisting others,

especially the article about American Fork students helping the disabled. I am a firm believer that

when students get involved great things happen.

I thought you might be interested in a story about other locals who are helping at-risk Provo

High School students graduate and attend college. If you would like to, I can get you in contact

with the founder of the program.

Thank you.

The tailored media pitch that I used to get coverage for Teens ACT upcoming event.

Working on this account took me out of my comfort zone. I took on the responsibility to learn how to create a website and edit video content for the site. Many hours were spent learning, but the skills learned were great.

Section 7

Wasatch Mental Health is a comprehensive community mental health center that offers an array of programs and services for children, teens and adults. Available services include inpatient, residential, day treatment, case management, outpatient, 24-hour crisis line, outreach, follow-up, referral screening, consultation, education and prevention.

In an effort to more fully explain the array of services offered through a number of facilities, Wasatch Mental Health retained the BYU Bradley PR Agency to produce, with help from Provo Channel 17, a promotional video to educate the community about the services provided and to reinforce the organization as a premier service provider for mental health care.

I was the account executive for this account and wrote the script and schedule for the video.

Section 8

I was the account executive for this account and wrote the script and schedule for video production. We had to highlight nine different facilites while main-taining our key messages to our publics.

I collaborated with a team of five in a research project which focused on answering questions about the current effforts BYU Broadcasting had in brand distinction and development.

We conducted background research, a focus group, data analysis using PASW, interpreted our findings and made recomendations when we presented our findings to the client.

Section 9

This is a portion of a 184-page research document that we completed as part of the research we conducted for BYU Broadcasting. The research included a high amount of data analysis and its interpretation.
