Utah quarterback Cam Rising is hosting a football camp from June 13-14 and has enlisted the help of several of his teammates to run it. Former Herriman High star and current center Jaren Kump joined Crimson Corner host Michelle Bodkin to talk up the camp and give some insight into how the offseason is going so far for Utah football. Kump dives into how the upcoming "Rising Stars" camp is a reflection of Rising's leadership with the Utes and how every participant from the team is donating their NIL to help out For The Kids and Herriman Ute Conference Football.  Additionally, Kump reveals the team is borrowing the Utah equipment truck and have a goal to fill it with food that will also be donated to For The Kids. Despite the fact that camp spots are full, Kump hopes fans will still come out to Herriman High from June 13-14 to help fill the truck and possibly win some prizes.  You can follow Michelle Bodkin and Jaren Kump on X.

As voice teachers, we want to offer good feedback to our students and let them know how they can improve their performance.But could our delivery of this feedback affect how well our students take in the new information?As the Associate Director of the National Center for Voice and Speech, Lynn Maxfield, PhD, regularly researches voice pedagogy, vocology, and how motor learning applies to voice teachers. His studies have revealed that although teachers are conditioned to regularly comment on a student's performance, remaining silent and allowing a student time to process their actions — as opposed to immediately providing feedback — is more beneficial for active learning.In this episode, we discuss:(4:22) How Lynn's experiences in vocology gave him an appreciation for the complexity of the cognitive and neuromuscular system.(9:22) Why instructors find it so challenging to not provide feedback.(11:51) The value of creating silent spaces to let students process their performance before they hear your feedback.(17:40) When most teachers begin providing feedback during lessons (and why this disrupts the learning process).(20:38) The difficulties of reflecting on the skills used in a longer performance(25:55) If giving yourself time to process your own performance when practicing alone is helpful(28:13) The debate over whether students benefit more from an internal or external locus of attention (and why their skill level may factor into this)(35:44) Why teachers need to constantly adapt their general teaching skills during each lesson(37:30) Why students need to be in the proper headspace to benefit from a lesson (and the scientific reason for why yelling yourself hoarse at a concert isn't good for you).(48:08) Why spacing voice lessons further apart can be beneficial for advanced singersFind Lynn at the Utah Center for Vocology and the University of Utah. The textbook Lynn mentions, “Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to Application” by Timothy D. Lee and Richard A. Schmidt, can be purchased on Amazon.Tom started a spirited discussion with Lynn at (25:55) on the value of practicing without feedback.

Fertility—or the ability to conceive and bear children—has impacted women's lives for millennia. Cultural, social, economic, religious, and personal factors have influenced questions of whether to have a child, when to have a child, how many children to have, and in what context to have them. The Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) published a research snapshot to understand trends and changes related to fertility in Utah, which is the topic of this episode. Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the UWLP, is joined by Kaitlyn Pieper, Executive Director of the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion; and Mallory Bateman, Director of Demographic Research and State Data Center Coordinator at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah.Support the show

George Floyd’s death — as just the latest example of a black person dying at the hands of law enforcement — has shaken, angered, agitated and, some say, awakened the nation, setting off waves of sometimes-violent protests against racism and police brutality. Days later, Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith with its own racist history, took to social media, condemning prejudice, calling racists to repentance and decrying the lawlessness that has erupted. Two African American Latter-day Saints join this week’s “Mormon Land” podcast to discuss systemic racism, protests and the church’s delayed response. Both LaShawn Williams, an assistant professor of social work at Utah Valley University, and Kimberly Applewhite, a psychologist with the Utah Center for Evidence Based Treatment, say society, the nation, their church and individuals can and must do more to wipe out the sin of racism.

This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. L3Harris Broadband Communications Systems is Utah's largest tech company and an essential business to the U.S. military. On top of protecting it employees from COVID-19, L3 is giving back to our health care heroes with innovative PPE equipment called PAPRs. President Dan Gelston is here to tell us about it. DAN GELSTON L3Harris is an essential defense business, working through COVID-19 under strict measures to protect our employees while serving our customers. Some of those precautions include 60% of our employees working from home and our engineering and manufacturing teams working staggered shifts for social distancing. When the coronavirus hit, our engineers, scientists and others wanted to help. That led to a collaboration with the University of Utah Center for Medical Innovation. Together, we turned a production line into a volunteer effort, assembling powered air-purifying respirators, or PAPRs, to protect health care workers. Even my daughters pitched in, making PAPR parts on our 3D printer at home. We've now delivered 1200 PAPRs to the University and Indian Health Services, and despite challenging times, our company is growing in Utah. We look forward to filling over 100 engineering and related positions this year.

In this episode of Wellness Wisdom Camille interviews Vicki Kennedy Overfelt, Teacher in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction from the Utah Center for Mindfulness with over 20 years experience teaching and studying stress and mindfulness. Stress is a major health crisis and causes widespread suffering.  It can lead to a decline in physical, emotional, and mental health.  Our lives are overly busy, distracted, and confused. We are often mindlessly on autopilot.  Tune into this episode to learn the power of the “present” moment and tuning into your experience.  Mindfulness is a chance to focus on "being" rather than "doing."  Vicki will help us explore how we can eat, move, and do daily tasks with mindful awareness.  Learn how to hold yourself with compassion and how to be a witness to your mental patterns.When we pay attention to our thoughts, our movements, our daily life with compassion, kindness, and curiosity we open ourselves up to a world of joy, stillness, and peace. Join us as we discuss the relationship between mindfulness and meditation.  Are you curious about how mindfulness works?  Vicki will guide us through a short “STOP” practice during this episode. Take this practice home to tune into your body and be more comfortable, at ease, and resilient to stress.  Pain is an inherent part of life, suffering is a choice.

PCR-based diagnostic tests are becoming increasingly common in clinical settings because they are much more sensitive and accurate than older tests, and provide results within hours, not days. Yet a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases shows that half of those who tested positive for respiratory viruses did not report feeling ill. These findings suggest that some test results should be interpreted with caution. Co-first author Dr. Carrie Byington, professor of pediatrics and co-director of the Utah Center for Clinical and Translational Science, talks about the results and how clinicians can use the information to improve patient care.

It’s no secret that kids get sick- a lot, but a study led by faculty at the University of Utah School of Medicine shows that they are also a source of viral infections for the rest of the family. People in childless households were infected with viruses that cause cold and flu for 3-4 weeks during the year. By contrast, families with six children were infected for up to 45 weeks – 87 percent of the year. Dr. Carrie Byington, professor of pediatrics and co-director of the Utah Center for Clinical and Translational Science talks about the findings and what they mean for families and physicians. The results were published in Clinical Infectious Diseases. Learn More about the study.
