Feeling Warehoused in Army Trauma Care Units

COLORADO SPRINGS — A year ago, The Unit DVD'sSpecialist Michael Crawford wanted nothing more than to get into Fort Carson’s Warrior Transition Battalion, a special The Unit DVD set created to provide closely managed care for soldiers with physical wounds and severe psychological trauma.
A strapping Army sniper who once brimmed with confidence, he had returned emotionally broken from Iraq, where he suffered two concussions from roadside bombs and watched several platoon mates burn to death. The transition The Unit DVD boxset at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs, seemed the surest way to keep suicidal thoughts at bay, his mother thought.

It did not work. He was prescribed a laundry list of The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset for anxiety, nightmares, depression and headaches that made him feel listless and disoriented. His once-a-week session with a nurse case manager seemed grossly inadequate to him. And noncommissioned officers — soldiers supervising the unit — harangued or disciplined him when he arrived late to formation or violated rules.

Last August, The Unit dvd's Specialist Crawford attempted suicide with a bottle of whiskey and an overdose of painkillers. By the end of last year, he was begging to get out of the unit.

“It is just a dark place,” said the soldier, who is waiting to be medically discharged from the Army. “Being in the W.T.U. is worse than being in Iraq.”

Created in the wake of The Unit dvd set in 2007 over serious shortcomings at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Warrior Transition The Unit dvd boxsets were intended to be sheltering way stations where injured soldiers could recuperate and return to duty or gently process out of the Army. There are currently about 7,200 soldiers at 32 transition units across the Army, with about 465 soldiers at Fort Carson’s The Unit seasons 1-4 dvd boxset.

But interviews with more than a dozen soldiers and health care professionals from Fort Carson’s transition unit, along with reports from other The Unit dvd, suggest that the units are far from being restful sanctuaries. For many soldiers, they have become warehouses of despair, where damaged men and women are kept out of sight, fed a diet of powerful prescription pills and treated harshly by noncommissioned officers. Because of The Unit dvd set, soldiers in Warrior Transition Units are particularly vulnerable to depression and addiction, but many soldiers from Fort Carson’s unit say their treatment there has made their suffering worse.

Some soldiers in The Unit dvd, and their families, described long hours alone in their rooms, or in homes off the base, aimlessly drinking or playing video games.

“In combat, you rely on people and you come out of it feeling good about everything,” said a specialist in The Unit dvd set. “Here, you’re just floating. You’re not doing much. You feel worthless.”

At Fort Carson, many soldiers complained that doctors prescribed drugs too readily. As a result, some soldiers have become addicted to The Unit dvd boxsets or have turned to heroin. Medications are so abundant that some soldiers in the unit openly deal, buy or swap prescription pills.

Heavy use of psychotropic drugs and narcotics makes The Unit dvd difficult to exercise, wake for morning formation and attend classes, soldiers and health care professionals said. Yet noncommissioned officers discipline soldiers who fail to complete those tasks, sometimes over the objections of nurse case managers and doctors.

At least four soldiers in the Fort Carson The Unit seasons 1-4 dvd have committed suicide since 2007, the most of any transition unit as of February, according to the Army.

Senior officers in the Army’s Warrior Transition Command declined to discuss specific soldiers. But they said Army surveys showed that most soldiers treated in transition The Unit dvd sets since 2007, more than 50,000 people, had liked the care.

Those senior officers acknowledged that addiction to medications was a problem, but denied that Army doctors relied too heavily on drugs. And they strongly defended disciplining wounded soldiers when they violated rules. The Unit dvd boxset is meted out judiciously, they said, mainly to ensure that soldiers stick to treatment plans and stay safe.

“These guys are still soldiers, and we want to treat them like soldiers,” said Lt. Col. Andrew L. Grantham, commander of the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Carson.

The colonel offered another explanation for complaints about The Unit seasons 1-4 dvd boxset. Many soldiers, he said, struggle in transition units because they would rather be with regular, deployable units. In some cases, he said, they feel ashamed of needing treatment.

“Some come to us with an identity crisis,” he said. “They don’t want to be seen as part of The Unit dvd. But we want them to identify with a purpose and give them a mission.”

Drugs and Addiction

Sgt. John Conant, a 15-year veteran of the Army, returned from his second tour of The Unit dvd set in 2007 a changed man, according to his wife, Delphina. Angry and sullen, he reported to the transition unit at Fort Carson, where he was prescribed at least six medications a day for sleeping disorders, pain and anxiety, keeping a detailed checklist in his pocket to remind him of his dosages.

Vanek alternating on Power Play unit at practice Sunday

Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) -- The Unit DVD are squeezing in practice Sunday before they fly to Boston and there is an encouraging sign at the HSBC Arena.

While Thomas Vanek is skating on the 5th line with Matt Ellis and Raffi Torres, he is alternating on the power play unit with Drew Stafford. This marks the first time he has practiced on any other The Unit DVD setbesides the 5th line. Lindy Ruff said, "He’s close now. It’s his decision whether he can play or not. I don’t know how he feels. In conversations with him, I think he understood that he didn’t think he was going to be able to make a difference. You want to play, but the way he felt he might have been putting himself in a bad spot. There's a health issue, he has to be ready to be effective which you've got to be ready to The Unit DVD boxset, you've got to be ready to battle. Not until yesterday and a little bit today has he even been involved in any type of physical confrontation where he had to push off, use the lower part of his leg the way it needs to be used. So when he feels that he can be effective, he's going to play, I've told him that, you think you can be effective, you're playing. If he knocks on my door tomorrow and says I'm ready, he's playing." Vanek added, "I never said I can't play. I wanted to play the last two, but we talked and we have to be realistic about The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset and if we both feel like I can't help the team than there's no point of going and taking a spot away from somebody else."

Ruff also commented on how impressed he has been with the play of his young guys saying, "They are gaining confidence playing on one heck of The Unit DVD. Tyler Myers started off pretty slow in the series but has gained confidence as the series has gone on and I think Ennis is the same case." Ryan Miller agreed on the play of the young guys, and doesn't think the inexperience hurts them saying, "We were pretty young and inexperienced when we went to The Unit DVD boxset conference final the first time."

At the end of The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset, Boston's star defenseman Zdeno Chara sucker-punched Paul Gaustad causing a stir at the closing seconds of the game. The Unit DVD reviewed the play and decided not to suspend Chara as they felt that he was just responding to Gaustad's slash prior to the altercation. When asked about the incident at practice, Chara had this to say, "The Unit DVD Set did a great job recognizing the whole situation, as I wasn't initiating but responding." He then added, "There was no need to do what Gaustad did. The game was over and he should have expected my reaction." Chara also discussed how his team will need to have a better start to the game if they want to win. "We haven't scored first in The Unit DVD boxset, it would be nice to get the first goal and get that extra energy boost."

Guard units plan demobilization ceremonies in Portland, Forest Grove

The Unit DVD of Oregon’s 41st Infantry Combat Brigade will hold demobilization ceremonies Wednesday and Thursday in Portland and Forest Grove.

Soldiers with The Unit DVD Set began returning early this month after 10 months of service in Iraq.

At 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the soldiers with The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset Brigade Support Battalion and 41st Special Troops Battalion, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, will take part in a ceremony at the University of Portland’s Chiles Center, 5000 N. Willamette Blvd.

At noon on Thursday, the soldiers with The Unit DVD boxset, 218th Field Artillery, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, will take part in a demobilization ceremony at Forest Grove High School, 1402 Nichols Lane. The battalion is headquartered in Forest Grove, with The Unit DVD in Portland and McMinnville.

About 2,700 Oregon Army National Guard soldiers in The Unit DVD set spent 10 months in Iraq conducting missions such as convoy security, force protection and helping to develop infrastructure in the nation. It is the largest deployment of the Oregon Army National Guard The Unit DVD boxset since World War II.

The Oregon soldiers joined five companies with 700 troops from Delaware, Massachusetts, Nebraska and New Mexico to train for the mission.

The Unit DVD Brigade Combat Team, also known as the Sunset Division, which served during World War II, is headquartered in Tigard. The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset conducted four mobilization ceremonies around the state as troops left for training.

A section of Highway 26 in Washington and Multnomah counties is named for tThe Unit DVD Division.

JPMorgan Unit Subpoenaed in U.S. Tax-Lien Inquiry

April 20 (Bloomberg) -- A JPMorgan Chase & Co. subsidiary The Unit DVD is among at least three companies being investigated as part of a U.S. Justice Department antitrust probe of bidding at municipal tax-lien auctions in New Jersey.

JPMorgan’s Xspand The Unit DVD set and Vienna, Virginia-based Mooring Tax Asset Group received grand jury subpoenas last year, according to an August prospectus for New York City tax-lien bonds that are serviced by the firms. Two units of Royal Bank America were subpoenaed, The Unit DVD boxset parent, Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania Inc. said in a March 2009 regulatory filing.

New Jersey municipalities The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset auction about $100 million a year in tax debts on commercial and residential property to investors, said Vincent Belluscio, executive director of the state tax collectors and treasurers association. Antitrust officials are probing whether investors colluded to limit competition on sales to win a higher return, he said. In New Jersey, the liens can carry annual interest of as much as 18 percent. The Unit DVD are designed so that investors bid down the interest rate they’re willing to accept.

“The problem is The Unit DVD set a tendency to meet in the hallway before a sale and divvy up the list,” Belluscio said. “They say, ‘We’ll buy these properties, and you buy those.’ And the interest rate holds at 18 percent.”

Belluscio said his information comes from a tax collector who was visited by a federal investigator.

Lien Buyers

Cities and towns in New Jersey and 27 other states The Unit DVD boxset sell tax debts to investors to raise cash and help plug budget deficits. Some of the debts are packaged into bonds and sold. Tax-lien buyers also get the right to collect penalties imposed on delinquent taxpayers by governments, and have first priority to take possession of properties when The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset don’t pay their taxes.

About $5 billion of property-tax delinquencies are sold each year, Xspand officials told the Unified The Unit DVD Commission of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, according to a transcript of the Nov. 25 meeting on the municipality’s Web site.

In Florida, $1.8 billion of the liens were sold last year, making The Unit DVD set the largest property-debt auction market in the U.S., according to Plantation, Florida-based RealAuction.com, which conducts online tax sales in counties throughout the state.

Expensive Cost

“The Unit DVD boxset’s concerned,” said Adam D. Greenberg, managing partner of law firm Honig & Greenberg in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, whose clients include tax-lien investors. “Even if you’re innocent, just responding to an investigation is expensive.”

Greenberg said he knows of The Unit Seasons 1-4DVD boxset investors who received subpoenas, though he declined to identify them or say if they are clients.

Justin G. Perras, a The Unit DVD spokesman, declined to comment, as did Mark Sanders, a spokesman for Narbeth, Pennsylvania-based Royal Bank, whose Crusader Servicing Corp. and Royal Tax Lien Services LLC units are subjects of the probe.

“Anybody in The Unit DVD set who is a significant buyer in New Jersey has been subpoenaed,” said John M. Jacquemin, president and founder of Mooring Financial Corp., The Unit DVD boxset has managed and serviced more than $1 billion in delinquent tax liens since starting Mooring Tax Asset Group in 1997. “We certainly were not involved with any collusion.”

Training to Prevent

Mooring for at least eight years has trained The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset bidders on the company policy against anti-competitive behavior and requires them to sign statements confirming that they understand the expectations, he said.

Alisa Finelli, a spokeswoman for The Unit DVD Department in Washington, declined to comment.

Xspand, which was founded by former The Unit DVD set Governor James Florio in 2000, was acquired by Bear Stearns Cos. six years later. Also known as Plymouth Park Tax Services, it became part of JPMorgan when the New York-based bank took over Bear Stearns in 2008 to prevent a collapse.

Xspand, based in Whippany, The Unit DVD boxset, effectively stopped participating in open-outcry auctions about nine months ago, a person familiar with the decision said. It had become the largest tax-lien investor in the U.S., buying $2 billion of public debt across the country since 2008, The New York Times reported Aug. 18.

The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset continues to service tax liens and bid on them in Internet auctions and bulk sales by municipalities, said the person, who asked not to be identified because of the investigation.

Florio Unaware

Florio, who sold his Xspand interest in 2006, said The Unit DVD wasn’t aware of the Justice Department investigation. Tax-lien sales were heated when he ran the company, he said in an April 16 telephone interview.

“The Unit DVD set was very, very competitive,” he said.

Paul V. Scura, who founded Xspand with Florio and left when Bear Stearns took The Unit DVD boxset over, said Xspand employees got thorough training on avoiding anticompetitive behavior.

“I can’t imagine any of The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset of Xspand doing that given how they’ve been sensitized to the importance of this issue,” Scura said in an April 19 telephone interview.

Last June, Harvey M. Nusbaum and Jack W. Stollof were indicted in The Unit DVD court in Maryland for conspiring to rig tax- lien bids at auctions in the state. Nusbaum and Stollof and others “agreed among themselves which of them would bid on specific tax liens or groups of The Unit DVD SET, and agreed upon specific prices to be bid in certain auctions,” according to a June 16 statement by the Justice Department.

Plea Agreement

Nusbaum entered a plea agreement and Stollof pleaded guilty early this year.

“With so many homeowners struggling these days, The Unit DVD boxset is more important than ever that all aspects of real estate transactions, including tax-lien auctions, remain competitive and free from collusion,” Scott D. Hammond, deputy assistant U.S. attorney general for criminal enforcement of the department’s antitrust division, said in a prepared statement last June.

Top Goldman Leaders Said to Have Overseen Mortgage Unit

It was late 2006, and an argument had broken out inside the Wall Street bank’sThe Unit prized mortgage unit — a dispute that would reach all the way up to the executive suite.

One The Unit DVD of traders was insisting that the American housing market was safe. Another thought it was poised for collapse.

Among The Unit DVD Setthose who saw disaster looming were an effusive young Frenchman, Fabrice P. Tourre, and his quiet colleague, Jonathan M. Egol, the mastermind behind a series of mortgage deals known as the Abacus investments.

Their elite mortgage The Unit DVD boxset is now at the center of allegations that Goldman and Mr. Tourre, 31, defrauded investors with one of those complex deals.

The The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset'sSecurities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud suit on Friday that essentially says that Goldman built the financial equivalent of a time bomb and then sold it to unwitting investors. Mr. Egol, 40, was not named in the S.E.C.’s suit.

The Unit has vowed to fight the S.E.C. But the allegations have left many on Wall Street wondering how far the investigation might spread inside Goldman and perhaps beyond.

Pressure on Goldman mounted on Sunday as two members of The Unit DVD and Gordon Brown, Britain’s prime minister, called for investigations into the bank’s role in the mortgage market. Germany also said it was considering legal action against the bank.

Mr. Tourre was the only person named in The Unit DVD Set suit. But according to interviews with eight former Goldman employees, senior bank executives played a pivotal role in overseeing the mortgage unit just as the housing market began to go south. These people spoke on the condition that they not be named so as not to jeopardize business relationships or to anger executives at Goldman, viewed as the most powerful bank on Wall Street.

According to these people of The Unit DVD boxset, executives up to and including Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chairman and chief executive, took an active role in overseeing the mortgage unit as the tremors in the housing market began to reverberate through the nation’s economy. The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset was Goldman’s top leadership, these people say, that finally ended the dispute on the mortgage desk by siding with those who, like Mr. Fabrice and Mr. Egol, believed home prices would decline.

Lucas van Praag, a Goldman spokesman, said that The Unit DVD executives were not involved in approving the Abacus deals. He said that the executives had sought to balance Goldman’s positive bets on the mortgage market, rather than take an overall negative view.

Mr. Tourre, who now works for Goldman in London, declined to comment, as did Mr. Egol, Mr. van Praag said.

The Unit DVD Set specialists like those at Goldman were, in a sense, the mad scientists of the subprime era. They devised investments by bundling together bonds backed by home loans, a process that enabled mortgage lenders to make even more loans.

While this sort of financing helped make loans available, The Unitb DVD boxset exotic creations also spread the growing risks inside the American housing market throughout the financial world. When the boom went bust, the results were disastrous.

By early 2007, Goldman’s mortgage The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset had become a hive of intense activity. By then, the business had captured the attention of senior management. In addition to Mr. Blankfein, Gary D. Cohn, Goldman’s president, and David A. Viniar, the chief financial officer, visited the mortgage unit frequently, often for hours at a time.

Such high-level involvement was unusual elsewhere on Wall Street, where many executives spent little time learning the workings of their mortgage businesses or how those businesses might endanger their companies.

The decisionof The UnitDVD to get rid of positive bets on mortgages turned out to be prescient. Unlike most other Wall Street banks, Goldman profited from its mortgage business as the housing bubble was inflating and then again when the bubble burst.

JPMorgan Claims Grupo Televisa Unit Broke Agreement

(Adds that The Unit’s representative didn’t immediately return a call in eighth paragraph.)


April 15 (Bloomberg) -- The Unit'sJPMorgan Chase & Co. claims Grupo Televisa SA’s cable The Unit DVD breached a credit agreement by objecting to the transfer of a loan from the bank to one controlled by billionaire Carlos Slim.

A federal judge in New York in February,The Unit DVD Set halted the transfer after Empresas Cablevision SA complained that assigning the loan to Slim’s Banco Inbursa SA might reveal Cablevision’s confidential information to a rival cable company owned by Slim.

JPMorgan, the second-biggest U.S. The Unit DVD boxset, is asking U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff to order Cablevision to consent to assigning 90 percent of the $225 million loan to Banco Inbursa.

“Cablevision’s refusal to consent to JPMorgan’s Unit's proposed assignment to Banco Inbursa was unreasonable and therefore a breach of the credit assignment,” JPMorgan said in its filing yesterday.

The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset got the loan in December of 2007 to buy Bestel SA, which operated a fiber-optic network in Mexico. JPMorgan originally intended to syndicate the loan but didn’t do so in 2008 because of the deteriorating credit market, according to the ruling. Last year, The Unit DVD started efforts to sell the loan to Inbursa.

Banco Inbursa is part of Grupo Financiero Inbursa SA, controlled by The Unit DVD Set, as is Telefonos de Mexico SAB, or Telmex, Mexico’s biggest land-line phone company. Telmex seeks to expand into other telecommunications markets and is a primary competitor of Cablevision, Rakoff said in the February ruling.

Irreparable Harm

The Unit DVD boxset had shown it was likely to prevail on its claim and a probability of irreparable harm, the judge said in February. The participation agreement, under which the loan was to be transferred, would enable Inbursa to use JPMorgan as a vehicle for demanding Cablevision’s confidential information “on a virtual unlimited basis of The Unit,” according to Rakoff’s ruling.

Televisa didn’t immediately comment, and a spokesman for The Unit DVD didn’t return messages seeking comment.

Member of the unit linked to 'Dirty Dozen' dies in Pa.

PHILADELPHIA — John "Jack" Agnew, one of the original members of a U.S. Army The Unit that operated behind enemy lines in World War II and is often credited with having loosely inspired the movie "The Dirty Dozen," has died at age 88.

Agnew belonged to the Filthy Thirteen, an unofficial The Unit DVD within the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. He was pronounced dead Thursday at Abington Memorial Hospital after becoming ill at his home in the Maple Village retirement community in Hatboro, where he and his wife moved about a year ago, his daughter Barbara Agnew Maloney said.

On D-Day, The Unit DVD boxset Filthy Thirteen parachuted into France to take a bridge over the Douve River. It was "a mission that would cost most of the men their lives," according to an article in the winter 2008-09 edition of American Valour Quarterly, a publication of the nonprofit American Veterans Center.

Before The Unit seasons 1-4 DVD the Bulge, Agnew and other members of the unit were requested for pathfinder duty and parachuted into Bastogne, which was besieged by German forces. Agnew operated a beacon to help guide in planes carrying badly needed supplies.

Tales of The Unit DVD's exploits and a Stars and Stripes military newspaper photograph are said to have inspired "The Dirty Dozen," not because any of The Unit's members were convicts like the movie's characters — they weren't — but because of their reputation for brawling, drinking and spending time in the stockade.

In interviews, Agnew, a private first class, said that came directly from The Unit Dvd Set's leader, Jake McNiece.

"We weren't murderers or anything, we just didn't do everything we were supposed to do in some ways and did a whole lot more than they wanted us to do in other ways," he told the quarterly. "We were always in trouble."

Agnew was among those interviewed in The Unit DVD boxset, "The Filthy Thirteen: Real Stories from Behind the Lines," that was included in a 2006 special edition DVD of "The Dirty Dozen."

The Unit seasons 1-4 DVD movie, about an Army major who has to train and lead 12 convicts into a mission targeting German officers, starred Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Jim Brown.

Maloney said her father told her about 30 percent of The Unit Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset was true.

"And, actually, the scene where they captured the officers, Dad said that was true and he really coordinated that," she said Sunday.

Two months ago, Maloney said, she accompanied her father to The Unit DVD Set convention in Louisville, Ky., where she met with three of the four surviving Filthy Thirteen members and three members of Easy Company, which was the focus of the HBO series "Band of Brothers."

"Dad, when we were little kids, he'd always say, 'I won The Unit DVDr; I know you don't believe me, but someday you'll know,'" she said. "We didn't really realize it until the 'Band of Brothers' came out."

Agnew will be buried with full military honors Tuesday at Forest Hills Cemetery in Huntingdon Valley, in the Philadelphia suburbs, where he and his wife, Elizabeth Agnew, lived for 56 years, Maloney said.

The Unit' exclusive: Someone is going to......

The Unit’s ninth season finale will feature a cameo by one of TV’s most feared guest stars: The Grim Reaper. Sources confirm to me exclusively that producers of the everlasting superhero saga are planning to kill off a major castmember in the May 14 capper. And if the death of “Jimmy Olsen” last May taught us anything, it’s that no one — and I mean no one — is safe on The Unit DVD. Okay, Clark is safe. But everyone else is fair game. A few characters are particularly vulnerable, which is my roundabout way of me saying the victim is listed after the jump!

I can confirm that one of these eight The Unit DVD Set will be in grave danger come May 14:

* Lois: Okay, Clark and Lois are safe. But everyone else is fair game.

* Chloe: The Unit DVD boxset doesn’t have a contract for next season yet. Just putting that out there. Also, can you think of a more compelling hook to season 10 than Clark attempting to avenge the death of his BFF — a character who just so happens to live outside the jurisdiction of DC Comics’ mythos police?

* Lana: Rumor has it Kristin Kreuk was spotted on the The Unit set this week. Rumor also has it I fabricated the above rumor just to make trouble. Finally, there’s a rumor going around that one of the previous two rumors is 100 percent true. All joking aside, The Unit has it KK is currently in Vancouver. Or is she? I’ve said too much!

* Perry: His return later this season is top-secret… so top-secret it makes one wonder.

* Martha: Her return later this season is top-secret… so top-secret it makes one wonder.

* Oliver: Green Arrow is a DC Comics property, but so was Jimmy Olsen. Death by loophole, perhaps?

* Tess: With The Unit attached to a new series, the odds of him returning as Lex have never been smaller. What does that mean for his placeholder? I imagine only bad things.

* Zod: He’s thisThe Unit’s Big Bad. And by my calculations, this season is almost up.

So, who’s dying?! That’s for me to know and you to find out spend the next two months obsessing over in the comments section.
