Josh Wilbur's work can be heard on some of the most successful pop and rock albums of this decade, earning him a Grammy for Steve Earl's "Washington Square Serenade" along with several other nominations throughout the years.
Although currently known for his album productions with various heavy metal juggernauts, Josh has one of the most balanced resumes one could ever find. Josh spent the early 2000s recording pop & R&B icons such as NSync, Lil Kim and Blaque before heading full steam into the rock world. For the next few years he began engineering and mixing for rock and pop power-houses such as Andy Wallace, GGGarth Richardson, Dr Luke, and Max Martin.
After honing his mixing and engineering skills alongside such formidable mentors, Josh jumped into producing records. Here, Josh helped "Lamb of God" garnish Grammy Nominations on 3 different records. Currently, amidst all the album production and mix work, Josh has still found time to mix singles for the TV show X-factor as well as other pop acts around the world.

The fact that you've made the second * non-greedy does not ungreedify the RE ... Note the docs say: The above rules associate greediness attributes not only with individual quantified atoms, but with branches and entire REs that contain quantified atoms. What that means is that the matching is done in such a way that the branch, or whole RE, matches the longest or shortest possible substring as a whole. It's late here so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for: alvherre=# select regexp_replace('oooZQoooAoooQooQooQooo', $r$(Z(Q)[^Q]*?A.*(\2))$r$, $s$X$s$); regexp_replace ---------------- oooXooQooQooo (1 fila) (Obviously the non-greediness has moved somewhere else) :-( -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

Mark Hughes and Martin O'Neill 'both to be interviewed for Sunderland job'
Mark Hughes and
Martin O'Neill are both expected to be interviewed by Sunderland in the coming weeks for the manager's role vacated by
Steve Bruce.
It has been reported that both men, who are currently out of work, have told close friends they would like a chance to manage the Black Cats.
Currently the bookmakers have O'Neill as the favourite in the betting, ahead of the former Wales and Blackburn manager Hughes.
The former Aston Villa boss has a slight edge in the race against Hughes, with the Ulsterman priced at 8/11 for the job, with Hughes 11/8 and Rafa Benitez the next best-priced at 12/1.
Hughes resigned from his post at Fulham at the end of last season, claiming the Craven Cottage club could not match his ambitions – something he believes the Wearside side will be able to do, particularly with the backing of Ellis Short.
It is reported that Short is not on the best terms with Villa chairman Randy Lerner and is therefore not concerned about the nature of O'Neill's exit from Villa Park.
The former Celtic boss has been linked with the Sunderland job in the past as Niall Quinn approached him prior to appointing Roy Keane in 2006.
Ex-Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is also among the bookies' leading contenders to replace Bruce at the Stadium of Light.


text: I didn't know where to put this: it's applies to many models. It also applies to Micro SIM and Nano SIM cards pushed into slots for larger sims. I just got a Galaxy Note 2. I was transferring data and large SD Cards between a N8, a Desire HD, and the new Note 2. I accidentally put a 32GB mSD card into the SIM slot on my wife's old N8 that we were trying to extract all the old data from. I couldn't find a quick "How to" fix on google. so I worked it out myself... here's what worked. Other phones have differing slots... but the principles are similar. 1) the N8 has 2 side accessed slots beside each other. the same logo is on the cover for each... but this is also possible on the Desire HD (but the slots are more clearly marked) and on other phones. The Note 2 makes this mistake difficult as the SIM slot is protected by the battery. (as on previous Samsung models) 2) all SIM slots have metal springs that press against the electrical contacts on the sim. if something passes the spring, it pops up again, and stops the item being easily removed. 3) DON'T FORCE IT. you will destroy the SIM slot. I just fixed this problem on the N8... you need: 2 thin strong probes. I used to large safety pins. 1 piece of thick card or plastic. 1 pair of tweezers. instructions: 1) the USIM / SIM slot in many phones like the N8 and other modern smart phones have small sprung electrical contacts that press up against the metal pads on the SIM. these rise up and create a "Non return" mechanism if a smaller item like a Micro SIM or Nano SIM is pushed into the slot . you must depress these springs as you draw out the SD card or smaller SIM. 2) You must Grab the SD card from the sides using one or 2 thin strong needle probes. this is easier if they have a small 90 degree bend at the tip, but I did it with safety pins. One side of an SD card is flat the other is shaped. it`s easier to draw the card out by the shaped side, holing the flat side vertical with the other probe. 3). Using the probes, draw the SD Card up untill it is touching the small springs, but dont pull against them. 4) Insert the piece of card or plastic to depress the springs. Keep the probes in place while you do this. take care not to press it in further than it needs to go. 5) now draw the SD Card out further so it is holding down the springs itself. and until you can grab it with a pair of tweezers. 6) Withdraw it fully using a pair of tweezers. Check which slot is which before putting a card in next time (me too)

Fox's Providence home put up for sale
The Providence home of ex-Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox was put up for sale Monday, a month after federal authorities raided the residence and his State House office as part of a criminal investigation.
An online listing says the asking price for the "stately" five-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath Colonial is $615,000. The East Side home is about 2,600 square feet and was built in 1924. It has two fireplaces, a "gourmet" kitchen and recent updates, according to the listing.
Executive Realty referred calls about the property to the listing agent, Jerry Sahagian, who didn't immediately return a message seeking comment. A message was left for one of Fox's attorneys.
Fox resigned as speaker on March 22, a day after authorities were seen carrying boxes of materials out of his home and office in the State House as part of a joint investigation by the FBI, IRS, state police and the U.S. attorney's office. Officials have declined to say whether the Democrat is a target, or what it is about. Neither Fox nor his lawyers have commented on the substance of the probe.
Few clues have emerged since then. Law enforcement contacted the state Board of Elections about the ex-speaker on the day of the raids, the board's campaign finance director, Richard Thornton, has said. But Thornton declined to specify the nature of the contact.
David Ortiz, a spokesman for Mayor Angel Taveras, also said federal law enforcement officials subpoenaed records from the city last week pertaining to Fox, but he would not say what authorities were looking for. He said the city is fully cooperating.
Online city records show Fox purchased the home in 2003 for $500,000. It was assessed at $458,500 last year.
Fox remains a member of the General Assembly but has not attended any legislative sessions since the raids and has said he will not seek re-election.
According to Larry Berman, House director of communications, Fox has missed 12 sessions and 49 votes. He makes just under $15,000 a year as a representative.

USCIS Issues Guidance Memorandum on EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a guidance memorandum that provides USCIS adjudication officers with instructions related to the timing of job creation and the meaning of "full-time" positions in the EB5 Immigrant Investor Program.
Entering the U.S. on the basis of an investment (as opposed to a family or employment-based petition) can either take the form of a nonimmigrant (temporary) visa or an immigrant visa, which results in the Permanent Resident "Green Card." The Permanent Residency route for an investor is known as the EB5 Investor Category. This category was created by Congress to allow foreign investors and their immediate family members to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. in exchange for investing in an employment-creation commercial enterprise.
In order to qualify for EB5 Immigration, the foreign investor must: 1) create a new business, 2) expand an existing business, or 3) purchase an existing business and reorganize it so that a new commercial enterprise results. Because it is an "employment-creation" method of obtaining residency, the investment business must also be able employ at least 10 full-time U.S. workers. The workers must have authorization to legally work in the U.S.
The guidance memorandum update to the Adjudicator's Field Manual (AFM) clarifies that for purposes of the Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur (Form I-526) adjudication and the job creation requirements, USCIS will consider the two-year period to begin six months after the adjudication of the Form I-526.
USCIS officers will ensure that the business plan filed with the Form I-526 reasonably demonstrates that the requisite number of jobs will be created by the end of the two-year period. For Regional Center petitions and for purposes of indirect job creation, USCIS adjudicators may consider economic models that rely on certain variables to show job creation and the amount of investment to determine whether the required infusion of capital or creation of direct jobs will result in a certain number of indirect jobs.
USCIS also has concluded that certain direct and indirect jobs that would have previously been considered to be temporary or intermittent (such as construction jobs) may be considered as permanent jobs for Form I-526 and the Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions (Form I-829) purposes if the positions can be expected to last at least 2 years.
If you or a loved one require assistance in applying for an EB5 or other employment-based green card, please contact us to schedule your initial consultation with an experienced Virginia immigration lawyer today. Our immigration attorneys represent clients in Manassas, Woodbridge, Stafford, Alexandria, Arlington, Fredericksburg, Falls Church, Fairfax and all of Northern Virginia, as well as throughout Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Holiday Dazzle parade lights up downtown Friday
The day after Thanksgiving, the Christmas season will begin in Jamestown with the Holiday Dazzle on Main Parade.
The parade starts at 7 p.m. Friday in McElroy Park, and proceeds up First Avenue. Viewers should stay south of the railroad tracks.
"It's a great community event. We always have a large turnout of spectators," said Corey Bayer, president of the Main Street Downtown Association. "It's always fun to get everybody together. The weather's supposed to be nice."
According to the National Weather Service, the skies will be mostly sunny during the day, with only a slight chance of rain and snow. The high temperature will be around 44 degrees and the low will be around 26.
There will be grandstands available for people who want to watch the parade, but they should be sure to bring blankets to sit on, said Laurie Julian, ambassador and marketing director with the MSDA.
People often head out onto the parade route early to stake out a good spot. For safety reasons, candy and trinkets will be handed to children along the parade route instead of being tossed.
This year's Holiday Dazzle parade is being sponsored by Otter Tail Power Co., Walz Pharmacy and Eventide at Hi-Acres.
Otter Tail also donated cups and hot cocoa, which the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce's Strive for Five Committee will serve at several stations along the parade route.
About 50 entries will compete for four parade trophies -- Best Dazzle, Best Amateur-Built, Best Civic or Nonprofit and Most Original Theme.
Competition is always stiff, Julian said, and there will be new entrants in the parade as well as many returning favorites. The Salvation Army will bring its giant kettle, and the Sons of Norway will enter the field of competition for the first time.
"Some of them really get into it. I think maybe some movies will come into play, and the usual holiday festive stuff, but it's always interesting to see what people dream up and come up with," Bayer said.
He was reluctant to reveal the themes for specific floats, because "it's always top secret."
The judges this year will be Amanda Brumfield, the current Mrs. North Dakota; Mary Schwartzkopf, Mrs. North Dakota-America 2011; Eliza Potratz, Mrs. Jamestown; Tim Burchill, administrator at Ave Maria Village; and Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen.
"It takes a lot of time to put the parade together, so we hope the community enjoys it as much as we do," Bayer said.

text: Most employees crib about their workplace and the one reason they find their office like hell is because of their boss. Although in certain cases their claims are justified when we have too authoritarian and controlling bosses, but in most cases they would have had their boss come across as a better person only if they had taken care to see that he is happy and impressed. Following are a few basic things you can do to so that you have a better boss.

Increase IQ with Genius Code
| What
if you could develop superior mental powers similar to those from the greatest
minds of mankind?
But are geniuses really so different? You would hardly think it by looking at their school records or job histories.
Dr. Win Wenger's 30 years of study shows that genius is not a result of genetic superiority, but of a pattern of mental conditioning. Which means, genius is within your grasp.
We believe the possibilities are endless.
If you truly want to unleash the awesome power of your "genius brain" then take the tour of Genius Code today, because...
You are brighter than you think.
Your brain continually sends messages that could dramatically and easily change your life
Dear Friend,
You can improve your performance in virtually all aspects of mental ability, including memory, quickness, IQ, and learning capacity.
Mind development pioneer, Win Wenger, Ph.D., has research showing that the exceptional achievements of famous thinkers may have been more the result of mental conditioning than genetic superiority. He believes he can guide you to condition your own mind in the same way.
Years ago Win began to make sense of his own flow of inner images and thoughts. He called his flow of impressions the "ImageStream." Have you been ignoring your own valuable inner messages?
Win's work led to his discovery that the ImageStream is the bridge to using the super power of the brain like great thinkers, such as Galileo, da Vinci, Tesla, Edison, and Einstein.
In our Genius Code Personal Learning Course, Paul Scheele teamed up with Win Wenger to help you explore your ImageStream in useful and practical ways. First they teach you how to ImageStream and then they teach you amazing mental exercises to help you figure out what the messages mean. You use these exercises to "crack your genius code."
It really does not matter what you know or what work you do. Accessing your ImageStream holds universal benefits for each and every one—even when you do it for just five minutes.
| "Amplify
your genius and increase your intelligence"
This groundbreaking ImageStreaming process opens a secret passageway to the dynamic resources of your brain, and it is easily within your reach. Use it, and feel brighter, clearer, calmer, more confident, and happier than you do at present! Take it farther, and achieve greatness.
Have you ever made a decision that turned out to be a disaster?
Have you had a hunch that you did not honor, only to learn later that it could have
* made you a lot of money,
Have you ever been stuck for ideas at work?
Because your brain is designed to send you messages, you can direct it to send particular kinds of messages to solve problems or give you insight. Such as...
Gain mental power by using speed and surprise to outfox your conscious mind
Earlier I mentioned mental exercises. You can use two—"Thresholding" and "Over the Wall"—to see answers in advance of the conscious mind. That's right. You can get solutions to problems before you consciously recognize them. This stops your logic from sabotaging what is best for you. These clever exercises make problem solving nearly effortless and automatic and their outcomes wise and successful.
You only have to do the exercises a few times to receive automatic and permanent value. This is not like the eternal work of building your muscles where you have to keep pumping three times a week forever. And, you can revisit the exercises when you need especially sharp insights to challenges that crop up in your life.Clear communication channels to and from the inner mind to improve problem solving and increase intuition
For many people the impressions of the ImageStream are cluttered with static such as what you might see on TV. Thankfully, two other mental exercises called "Hidden Question" and "High Think Tank" get the noise and interference out of the communication lines between the conscious and the genius mind. The result is like installing a high-speed DSL line to access the web. It improves problem solving and increases the speed of getting intuitive and creative insights.Have psychic experiences!
Another mental exercise of the Genius Code is the "Psi-Pothesis," which stimulates provocative, near-psychic abilities.
Win and Paul will also help you connect to the ImageStream during sleep and use dreaming as a means to creative insight and rapid personal development.
(Are you beginning to see how this course might help you bypass limitations while increasing your reach to greater levels of sharpness, insight, and overall intelligence?!)
Borrow Genius from others to make leaps in your performance
You'll love "Borrowed Genius." You can get into the head of an expert or a genius in any field you want and view your problem, opportunity, or situation from the expert's point of view. Talk about breakthrough perspectives!
Borrow the genius of Paul Scheele to read with lightning speed. Borrow the genius of Chunyi Lin to help heal others. ...of Tiger Woods to play better golf. ...of Brian Tracy to become a super salesperson. ...of former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani to handle a crisis. ...of Itzhak Perlman to appreciate and make music. And on and on. There is no limit to what you can do and be.
A related exercise, "Advanced Civilization," can stimulate mighty bursts of creativity. If you ever think, "I can't possibly do ______," use this exercise. Inevitably, you will discover how to do it. This mental exercise gets you thinking outside of any box!Supercharge your PhotoReading with ImageStreaming
Perhaps you know that Paul Scheele, co-founder of Learning Strategies, developed the "PhotoReading whole mind system." With PhotoReading you tap into your brain's ability to process large volumes of information at fabulous speeds. Dip into the ImageStream and learn virtually any skill through simply PhotoReading books. Beyond reading for knowledge—you can read to learn skills. ImageStreaming turbo-boosts this direct learning application of PhotoReading.
Paul teaches the basics of PhotoReading in Genius Code, so you immediately can apply direct learning to a skill you want, such as
* Improve productivity at work.
(And, for those of you who already PhotoRead, ImageStreaming can be a great activation tool.)Genius comes down to this...
| You
are brighter than you think!
You have astounding brain potential waiting to be tapped.
When Paul first came into my office to ask my opinion about collaborating with Win Wenger on a new program, I got so excited, I could barely think straight.
I have been a great fan of Win's since I learned of his work more than ten years ago. I have read his books, listened to his tapes, and found keen benefit in my experiences with his techniques. "But," I told Paul, "You have to do something to make his processes practical and useable for everyone."
Paul, in all of his brilliance, succeeded. Paul and Win created a course that even goes beyond the genius of Win's book, "The Einstein Factor". We considered calling the course, "Beyond the Einstein Factor", but their collaboration led to a learning breakthrough that necessitated the name Genius Code.
You see, the course not only exposes you to the strategies of genius that exemplify the great minds of all times but also leads you to interpret the messages of your ImageStream to actualize your own desired outcomes.
Is it complicated? No, it is simple, in the way that great things explained often are. It is even as easy as daydreaming. This program is a treasure box of childlike techniques that most anyone can master by simply flowing along with Paul and Win at the helm. It does not matter whether you are a high school student or a Rhodes Scholar, a housewife or a retired grandpa, a businessman or a scientist, a store clerk or an auto mechanic, you can benefit from playing in your own ImageStream.
How I saved thousands and why this course may be one of the best investments you can make for yourself
I am building an earth-sheltered home in the country. Upon waking one morning, I suddenly realized that the builders were using outdated blueprints. I immediately called, faxed, and emailed the contractor. Sure enough, the plans were in error. Had my message gotten to them two days later, it would have been too late to fix the problem without huge expense.
Dana Hanson, one of our coaches, noticed a spring on the laundry room floor and thought nothing of it. A couple of weeks later the machine quit working. He immediately saw images of springs bouncing out of the machine, which led him instantly to the cause.
Those are two mild examples of responding to inner messages. While everyone has had similar instances, using Genius Code positively emits realizations again and again. You see, the messages are always there, but you usually ignore them. By using Genius Code, responding to your inner messages becomes commonplace.
And while saving a few thousand dollars on a house or fixing a washing machine may not seem extraordinary, solutions like that certainly make life easier, less stressful, and more enjoyable. Would you like something more exciting?
Did you ever hear how the inventor of the sewing machine dreamed of savages throwing spears with holes in their tips? He woke up realizing that a hole in the tip of the needle was the key to making an automatic sewing machine.
Or, as a self-improvement enthusiast, you might be familiar with the Sound & Light machine. The inventor, Dr. Denis Gorges, conceived the idea while ImageStreaming in a workshop with Win Wenger back in 1977. When you 1) develop your ImageStream and 2) unlock the code to understand what the messages mean, you will find yourself consistently performing at higher levels. Paul and Win call this "genius-level thinking."Beat others to the finish line
Alexander Graham Bell submitted his patent only hours ahead of another inventor. Darwin's "Origin of Species" was published merely weeks ahead of another book on that subject. These scientists tapped into something essential, and so can you. You can be the first to come up with new ideas, maybe ideas that make you a fortune. Have you had an idea and later seen it on TV or in a store? With Genius Code you can come up with ideas and develop them quicker. Creativity and successful timing involve using your ImageStream.You receive all of this...
Genius Code comes on eight audio tapes or eight CDs. The eighth includes a special Paraliminal learning session that Paul created to make it easier to learn the course, use the processes, and reap the benefits.
The 56-page course manual gives you an inventive guide and quick resource to ensure the course provides value to you forever.
The SECRET to better grades, new skills, wealth, and wellness
Use the Genius Code to see yourself making immediate progress toward what is important for you. Paul and Win are absolutely convinced the secret to getting what you want lies in the messages your brain sends you every day. Go for it."There is a flame that burns brightly in the human heart. A flame that allows us to dream and reach out beyond where we are now."
If you have the sense that you have yet to tap your full potential, if you think there might be a powerhouse raging inside you, if you want to do more than dream, get your Genius Code today.
If you are at all intrigued by Genius Code, try it now. You have to experience Paul and Win's unique creation. And, if it is not for you, return it within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price.
Can you imagine accessing your genius mind? What power! What possibility! Paul, Win, and I, along with the entire staff of Learning Strategies, encourage you.
Crack your "Genius Code" and genius is automatic!
Tune into those secret messages that your brain automatically sends you to boost your IQ, solve any problem, accelerate learning, recognize golden opportunities, and supercharge your intuition.
Now you can develop superior mental powers similar to those possessed by the greatest minds in humankind.
P.S. – Seldom am I so excited about a new program. But, I know the genius that Paul and Win put into it, and I know that it will help anyone who wants to get more out of life. But be forewarned: if you are interested in exploring the edge of personal development, you might stay up all night when you first get the course. Genius Code is cool, effective, and practical. Try it.Genius Code on Tape, No longer available

My center spine stitches stretched out so much when blocking they looked awful, and the lacy rows didn't give at all, so when I held this up it puckered like crazy and the border seemed tighter than the rest of the shawl because these pattern stitches have much less give than a fabric of straight stitching. For the spine, I would not crochet only in the back or front loop in the center stitches. There's just too much weight there and it made a mess (see the pictures).
I frogged this because I couldn't get it to lay nicely when worn and I didn't want to waste this beautiful yarn on something I wouldn't wear.

The Festival International de Jazz de Montreal never seems to forget "international" when it comes to their programming. For its 35th anniversary, the festival featured over 800 concerts between 15 indoor venues and 10 outdoor stages, with a plethora of the featured acts coming from far-flung points on the globe.
Standout international performances this year included Beninoise diva Angélique Kidjo, Tuareg guitarist Bombino, the Zimbabwean group Mokoomba, Colombian-based producer/musician Quantic (Will Holland), Spanish flamenco singer Buika, and "father of Ethio-jazz" Mulatu Astatké. (We'll be featuring interviews with Mokoomba and Astatké in upcoming posts.) For reggae fans, there was a double bill of Burning Spear and Sly and Robbie. If you're unfamiliar with Buika, imagine if Cesaria Evora and Nina Simone had a daughter who sang flamenco. Do not miss an opportunity to see her–you will be rewarded.
Whether by design or not, this year's fest had an interesting selection of female singers of mixed cultures, fusing traditional and modern styles. Mexican-Canadian Mamselle Ruiz, who first came to Canada as a singer/acrobat for the Cirque du Soleil, offered up beautiful jazzy reinventions of classic Mexican folk songs. Both Franco-Cameroonian Sandra Nkaké and Ethiopian-Israeli Ester Rada delivered soulful sets of African-influenced r&b. Less successful, however, was avant garde Swiss-Ghanian singer Joy Frempong, who performed with a drummer costumed as a squid, together calling themselves Oy. Frempong's set was a bit too artsy disco-electronica for the outdoor stage she was on and the audience seemed unsure what to make of her.
Continuing this year's fusion of cultures was a series of jazz concerts including American-Indian saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa performing selections from his latest release Gamak, on which he offers jazz interpretations of classic Indian ragas. Then there was Jamaican jazz pianist Monty Alexander and his Harlem-Kingston Express, who navigated a journey through jazz and reggae vibes. Alexander noted he wasn't feeling well at the end of the concert, and it turned out he had suffered a very mild heart attack, through reports are that he is doing well now. Lebanese pianist/singer Bachar Mar-Khalifé, son of famed oud musician Marcel Khalifé, gave a mesmerizing set of his unique mix of jazz, electronica and traditional Lebanese song. Israeli Shai Maestro often introduced native melodies into jazz piano improvisations during his set; Cuban-Canadian jazz pianist Rafael Zalvidar incorporated traditional Afro-Cuban religious chants into his set as well. And finally, there was a concert with Ginger Baker and his Jazz Confusion quartet. Baker, still alive though afflicted with lung disease, joked more than once during the set that the band, which included saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis (known for his work with James Brown) and Ghanaian percussionist Abbas Dodoo, had bets on which number Baker might drop dead during their performance. Recalling that Baker played with Fela Kuti in the 1970s, and currently lives in South Africa, it was not so surprising to hear African drumbeats coming from the stage.
Other standout jazz showcases this year included solo performances from Brad Mehldau and Keith Jarrett, as well as Joe Lovano, Kenny Garrett, Trombone Shorty, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and an 80th birthday celebration for Oliver Jones, featuring an array of his friends on stage including Lorraine Desmarais, Ranee Lee and Josée Aidans.
Pop headliners this year included concerts by soul divas Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross. Diana Krall and her husband Elvis Costello both performed concerts–with Costello joining "his missus" on several numbers at her outdoor free show. Meanwhile Tony Bennett was joined for three songs by pop star Lady Gaga.
Other non-jazz acts of note included Earth, Wind and Fire, Rufus Wainwright, Woodkid, hip-hop supergroup Deltron 3030 (composed of producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del the Funky Homosapien and Kid Koala), Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite, Daniel Lanois (with special guests Trixie Whitley and Emmylou Harris), Harry Manx with David Lindley, B.B. King, Gary Clark Jr., Cody Chesnutt, St. Vincent, Violent Femmes, Maxwell, and a wonderful, intimate performance from Rickie Lee Jones.
Paco de Lucía, who performed at the festival in 2011, and who passed away earlier this year, received this year's Antonio Carlos Jobim Award, created a decade ago to "honor artists distinguished in the field of world music whose influence on the evolution of jazz and cultural crossover is widely recognized." Past recipients of the award include Gilberto Gil, Amadou and Mariam, Salif Keita and Khaled.

Juneau, Monette fall in doubles but will compete in singles at ATP event
Juneau, a senior, and Monette, an incoming freshman, fell 2-6, 6-7 (4) to the doubles tandem of Richard Bloomfield (Great Britain) and Toshihide Matsui (Japan).
Bloomfield and Matsui have each played professionally for more than 10 years while the two Hoosiers were let in to the doubles draw as a wildcard.
The tournament is an Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour event. Despite the loss, both Hoosiers will have another opportunity to beat professionally ranked players.
Juneau played his way through the qualifying bracket to earn a spot in the singles main draw while Monette was let in as a wild card. Both will play singles matches Tuesday.
Juneau earned five points toward an ATP ranking by advancing through the qualifying rounds and can move further up in the rankings with wins in the main draw.
In high school, Monette won several Junior Canadian National titles. Juneau, a native of Quebec, earned first team All-Big Ten honors this past season.

A. Ernest WhitonChief Financial OfficerZOLL Medical Corporation+1 (978) 421-9655
Diane EganZOLL Medical Corporation+1 (978) email@example.com
January 18, 2007—CHELMSFORD, MASS.—ZOLL Medical Corporation (NasdaqGS: ZOLL), a manufacturer of resuscitation devices and related software solutions, today announced that it received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the ZOLL E Series® with Real CPR Help™ technology. ZOLL's Real CPR Help allows rescuers to instantly see and hear how well they are performing the rate and depth of CPR chest compressions. With this clearance, the E Series becomes ZOLL's first advanced pre-hospital device to provide this instantaneous feedback.
"Typical professional defibrillators on the market today only provide generic, ancillary support to rescuers when it comes to CPR performance," said Richard A. Packer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZOLL. "These devices merely tell rescuers to start CPR at the appropriate moment during a resuscitation attempt. ZOLL's Real CPR Help technology can provide rescuers with assistance beyond merely prompting them to start CPR, so they are better equipped to improve their CPR performance and help cardiac arrest patients when it matters most."
Mr. Packer continued, "Improving CPR quality is a key to increasing survival rates from cardiac arrest. Given where the science of resuscitation is headed, we believe that this type of instantaneous feedback will be standard care in the next five years. To that end, we envision a day when our entire line of AEDs and professional defibrillators will provide ZOLL's Real CPR Help technology, including our flagship M Series and M Series CCT devices."
All cardiac arrest victims need immediate and effective CPR. Furthermore, less than half of these victims require defibrillation initially since they are experiencing heart rhythms that are not "shockable;" that is, defibrillation will not help these victims' hearts beat normally again. The critical action is CPR, which achieves minimal but effective blood flow to feed oxygen to the heart and brain. CPR is also associated with a return of a "shockable" heart rhythm, making defibrillation possible later in the resuscitation event.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is an abrupt disruption of the heart's function, which causes a lack of blood flow to vital organs. This lack of blood flow can result in the loss of blood pressure, pulse, and consciousness. SCA is the leading cause of unexpected death in the world and strikes without warning. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 460,000 deaths each year from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Currently, only about 6 percent of victims survive.
ZOLL Medical Corporation is committed to developing technologies that help advance the practice of resuscitation. With products for pacing, defibrillation, circulation (with ZOLL's See-Thru CPR™ and Real CPR Help™ technologies), ventilation, and fluid resuscitation, ZOLL provides a comprehensive set of technologies that help clinicians, EMS professionals, and lay rescuers resuscitate sudden cardiac arrest or trauma victims. ZOLL also designs and markets software that automates the documentation and management of both clinical and non-clinical information.
ZOLL markets and sells its products in more than 140 countries. The Company has direct operations, distributor networks, and business partners throughout the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Michigan makes its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 since 1994, taking on top-seeded Kansas on Friday in Arlington, Texas. The Jayhawks are no stranger to the second week, reaching the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in 10 seasons under coach Bill Self. The fourth-seeded Wolverines beat No. 13-seed South Dakota State (71-56) in the second round and fifth-seeded Virginia Commonwealth (78-53) in the third. The Jayhawks have had a more difficult time advancing. They beat 16th-seeded Western Kentucky in their opener (64-57) followed by a win against eighth-seeded North Carolina (70-58).
Kansas features four seniors in its starting lineup: center Jeff Withey, forward Kevin Young and guards Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford. By contrast, none of Michigan's top nine scorers is a senior. The Wolverines don't have a true center on their roster, so look for them to employ a combination of players against Withey, a skilled 7-footer. Mitch McGary, a 6-10 freshman who averages 18.4 minutes, will likely get the first shot.
BRACKET ADVISOR: Analyze the Michigan-Kansas matchup
TV: 7:47 p.m. ET, TBS.
ABOUT MICHIGAN (28-7): Trey Burke has done some things in this tournament that he hasn't done all season. In the opener against South Dakota State, the sophomore point guard and Big Ten Player of the Year scored in single digits for the first time this season, shooting a season-worst 2-for-12 and scoring six points in Auburn Hills, Mich. He came back with 18 points against VCU but committed a season-high seven turnovers. That number stood out even more because Burke is fourth in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.11).
ABOUT KANSAS (31-5): The Jayhawks have their own budding superstar in freshman guard Ben McLemore, but he's also struggling lately. He missed all nine field-goal attempts against North Carolina and scored a season-low two points. He nearly had as many turnovers (four) as field-goal attempts (five) against Western Kentucky and hasn't reached his 15.8 scoring average in the last four games dating to the Big 12 Tournament semifinals. McLemore is capable of going on scoring sprees, having notched 30 or more points three times this season.
1. Kansas is 29-9 all-time as a No. 1 seed in the tournament, but 3-4 against the No. 4 seed.
2. Withey averages 16.5 points, 11 rebounds and 3.9 blocks, which ranks second in the nation.
3. The winner is guaranteed to play a Florida-based team for the first time this season, facing third-seeded Florida or 15-seeded Florida Gulf Coast in the Elite Eight.
PREDICTION: Michigan 76, Kansas 75

As a brazilian user I feel that the lack of multi-language support as a native feature of WordPress limit my ability to consolidate all my blogs into a single one. Presenting posts written into multiple languages makes for a confusing page. On the other hand, keeping separate blogs makes more difficult to build recognition.
My "requirements" are simple: I would like to be able to post a blog entry about (let's say) Scoble's or Godin's latest post, written in english, in such way they can eventually read; also, at the same time, I would like to have the same entry in portuguese so my readers would be more comfortable understanding what's being discussed. That's the value of this idea. Make it easier for different people to read and comment, but still into a single blog.

For the next two weeks, a portion of the Marcia Cloninger Rail Trail will be closed while repairs are made on the South Aspen Street Bridge.
Approximately a quarter of a mile of the trail will be closed, between South Government Street and Academy Street.
According to NCDOT Transportation Supervisor Travis Mull, the work will include welding, preventative maintenance and painting of the bridge.
"The purpose behind painting the bridge and preventative maintenance is to ensure and maintain the integrity of the bridge," Mull said. "We'll be working on the middle of the bridge, right over the walkway, so we've put up barricades and 'trail closed' signage because we really don't want people to be entering and endangering their safety."
The trail is scheduled to be closed for up to two weeks. According to Mull, weather conditions are a significant factor in the NCDOT bridge maintenance timeline.
"We're hoping we'll get it done before then, but it really depends on the weather," he said.
The trail, named after the late city councilwoman Marcia H. Cloninger, is part of the Carolina Thread Trail Project.

Girl, 17, charged with killing woman in Stafford
Authorities arrested a teenage girl and charged her with shooting and killing a 62-year-old woman in Stafford County.
Police have not identified the 17-year-old girl charged in the killing. She was charged with first degree murder and detained Wednesday morning. One relative of the victim said her and the suspect are related.
The victim was identified as Brenda Dye. On Tuesday, police responded to a medical call at 700 Perry Drive and met with Dye's husband and son. Both men had arrived home from work and found Dye not breathing with a gunshot wound to the upper body.
"Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family of Brenda Dye," states Stafford County Sheriff Charles Jett. "We are truly saddened by this senseless loss of life."
Residents of this subdivision say investigators told them it was an isolated incident, and that there is little crime in the area. Neighbors were shocked at the murder.
A woman who says the victim was her sister-in-law stopped by the house Wednesday afternoon. She says she knows very little about the killing, but said the charged teenager is the victim's niece.
Though the suspect is close to 18 she was charged as a juvenile. She remains in jail.

5,000lb-piece of CSS Georgia recovered
Published on November 21st, 2013 | by Admin0
An 64-square-foot section of the ironclad CSS Georgia which was scuttled in 1864, has been recovered from the Savannah River in Georgia.
When a weather-and-tide window opened Tuesday evening, they were able to secure the 8-foot-long casement section and lift it by crane onto a barge anchored near historic Old Fort Jackson on the eastern edge of Savannah. Experts estimate the section's weight at 5,000 pounds.
The Confederate navy scuttled the CSS Georgia in 1864 as Union troops approached Savannah. The iron-covered ship remained on the river bottom until 1969 when a dredge removing sediment from the shipping channel struck a portion of the ship, according to Julie Morgan, staff archeologist for the Corps' Savannah District.

Scientific Discipline
Host Institution
Janelia Research Campus
Current Position
Dr. Svoboda is a group leader at the Janelia Research Campus. He was an HHMI investigator at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from 2000 to 2006.
Current Research
Circuit and Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Experience-Dependent Cortical Plasticity
Karel Svoboda builds windows into the brain—literally, with tiny glass slides he places in the skulls of mice. He peers inside with sophisticated microscopes and watches individual neurons.
"What we've discovered is that new experiences spur new connections in the adult brain," he says. "And that's a mechanism for learning and memory."
While researchers already knew that the adult brain can reorganize in response to new experiences, until Svoboda developed his techniques, no one had seen the process in action.
"We follow individual synapsesthe tiny junctions between neurons—day-by-day for a month or more to see if and how new connections form."
Svoboda, who prior to his move to Janelia was an HHMI investigator at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has devised techniques so precise that he can count the number of calcium channels on the tiny spines that reach between neurons to form synapses. Calcium channels can trigger a series of chemical events that ultimately rewires the synapse. Watching the channels' openings and closings provides direct evidence of such activity.
"It's a very powerful technique that can look deep into the brain without disturbing it," he says. "There is something like a hundred billion synapses in the mouse brain and now we have some tricks to locate the same synapse each time we put the mouse under the microscope. It took a while to figure out, but now it's pretty routine."
In one set of experiments, Svoboda's team trimmed the whiskers of their mice. As the mice explored their environment, Svoboda saw "pronounced rewiring." New synapses formed and others disappeared in the part of the brain that receives input from the whiskers.
In Svoboda's experiments, fluorescent tags highlight brain activity for powerful microscopes that he designs and builds. Both tools—the fluorescent proteins and the instruments—require a diverse set of skills to develop, he says, one big reason he looks forward to working at Janelia. "For a new microscope, you come up with an idea, you draw it up in your mind, and then you have to build a prototype. You need a machine shop, you need electronics, and all of a sudden you're out of your depth," he says. "Finding those kinds of resources is very, very difficult, but it's vital to developing the kind of sophisticated instruments we need."
As for the fluorescent proteins, Svoboda pins his hopes on a new generation of genetically engineered mice whose neurons make their own supply—an advance that will speed his brand of observational neuroscience. "We're just now starting to get mice that have these genetically encoded indicators of neuronal function in them. It's something we're really excited about," he says. "We want to look at the dynamics of neuronal ensembles—constellations of neurons, if you will. That's our goal for the next 5 to 10 years."
As he settles in at Janelia, Svoboda anticipates finding new, unexpected uses for his expertise in optics and microscopy. "It's an ideal working environment, highly interactive with small groups focusing on interrelated problems." Even though individual groups will be relatively small, Svoboda envisions that, like the brain, they will constantly recombine and reorganize their efforts. "Brain circuitry or computation is so incredibly complex that it will require all kinds of expertisephysics, engineering, biology, and so on. Each of us will focus on what we're good at while working toward the larger common goal."
After working at two other research institutes—Bell Labs and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory—Svoboda says the move to Janelia will be natural. "What really clinched it for me was the overall research programit overlaps smack-dab with my interests," he says, pausing for a pun. "It really was a no-brainer."

Mickelson defends his captain
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.com
MEDINAH, Ill. -- Phil Mickelson wasn't about to let his captain, Davis Love III, take the blame.
So when someone asked Love whether he would have done anything differently, then specifically mentioned sitting Mickelson and Keegan Bradley after the team had gone 3-0 in the first three sessions, the lefthander felt he had to step in.
"Hold on, Davis. Hold on one sec," Mickelson said, interrupting his long-time friend in mid-sentence.
"As far as playing Keegan and I, you need to hear something," Mickelson continued, looking out at a packed interview room. "Keegan and I knew going in that we were not playing in the afternoon, and we said on the first tee, we are going to put everything we have into this one match. …
"And when we got to 10, I went to Davis and I said, listen, you're seeing our best; you cannot put us in the afternoon, because we emotionally and mentally are not prepared for it. And I know you're going to get pressure, because we're playing so good.
"But we have other guys that are dying to get out there … so you need to stay to our plan. So you cannot put that on him; if anything, it was me, because I went to him at 10 and said that to him."
Love acknowledged there were those close to the team who thought maybe that strategy should change. So he rode out to the 10th hole to talk with Mickelson.
"Phil came running over and started yelling at me, we are putting the most effort into this, we are giving you our all and we are going to win this match and do not play me in the afternoon," Love recalled. "And I thought that was the funniest thing I had ever heard.
"He was really adamant that he did not think that they should play in the afternoon; that some of the other guys would have a lot more energy and would play well."
The decision was one of many tough calls Love said he had to make. Sitting Tiger Woods down for the first time in the former world No. 1's career was another but the U.S. Captain wanted the 14-time major winner fresh for the final Four-ball match and the all-important Singles.
"Would I have liked to have had everybody on our team play four matches the first two days? Yeah, because they were all playing really, really well," Love said.
Even so, Love said he's probably going to second guess himself for a long time. He knows some matches -- like Justin Rose's win over Mickelson and Ian Poulter's over Webb Simpson and Martin Kaymer's clinching win over Steve Stricker-- seemingly turned on a dime over the last three holes.
But that's the Ryder Cup.
Love thought he had a solid plan on Sunday. The U.S. only needed 4 1/2 points in Singles to win the Cup. Granted, Love knew the 10-4 deficit wasn't insurmountable. After all, he was a member of the American team that staged that historic comeback at Brookline in 1999.
So he put the Americans who were playing best out first to
counter what he knew would be the top of Europe's roster. But Jose
Maria Olazabal's team simply played better and the Americans found
out how the other side felt that year.
"I'm sure there's a lot of great plans in a lot of sporting events that sound really good the night before, before the game starts, and then there's a fumble or a turnover or something happens and it doesn't work," Love said. "What didn't work today is they played a little bit better than us and got some momentum and made it tough. ...
"But when you end up with the power and the excitement that we had in those first groups, and we had what we felt like was the steady Eddie guys in the back, we thought it was a great lineup. Again, a few putts they made, a few putts we missed, and it would have been a huge difference."

Every Sunday, locals and visitors alike can be found flipping through framed photographs and admiring paintings of sunsets and other breathtaking backgrounds, all just a stone's throw from Stearns Wharf.
The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show draws hundreds of artists to the waterfront from 10 a.m. to dusk each Sunday, requiring that participants pay an annual fee, live in Santa Barbara County and showcase their own work for wanting buyers.
Folks have been stumbling upon the show for nearly 50 years, witnessing an evolution from a mile-long creative display with more than 300 artists and a years-long waiting list to around 200 members who are feeling a bit like the city's forgotten stepchild.
To complicate matters, the "top" of the show, from the Dolphin Fountain to the skate park, will soon close for 18 months while construction commences on the State Street Bridge replacement project across the street on East Cabrillo Boulevard.
Since 1966, the arts and crafts show has fallen under the umbrella of the city Parks and Recreation Department and is the only event written into the municipal code, back in 1974.
Jeff Kennedy, a longtime member and local artist, joins a chorus of others who think that means the show — an art institution in Santa Barbara — should receive more direct funding from the city for advertising.
Artists currently fund the show with the $100,000 they pay in annual fees, which foots the bill for use of the park, two monitors and other administrative costs.
Because the show is sponsored by the city, however, and not another organization as is the case with Old Spanish Days Fiesta or the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, direct funds cannot be allotted, according to recreation programs manager Judith McCaffrey.
Artists vent opinions at monthly meetings with parks officials and an arts and crafts show advisory committee, but Kennedy thinks they're being ignored.
"Over the years, our fees have just ratcheted up, ratcheted up, ratcheted up," he said. "Most people down there are doing it part time. Nobody's making a living off that show. It's in need of some assistance in advertising it. We're not even allowed or given signage."
Those participating in the show are used to rolling with controversial punches.
The show grew out of a small gathering in De la Guerra Plaza on Saturdays and Sundays, but was then moved by the city to the beachfront where three local artists began painting and displaying their work on weekends.
When merchants started staying open on Saturdays, the show was slashed to just Sundays and Saturdays only on special holidays, Kennedy said.
When hotels started moving to the waterfront on Cabrillo, such as The Fess Parker, the show was stopped where the hotel starts instead of spanning down to the public restrooms.
And when Skater's Point was built in the 2000s, the show was cut again.
Kennedy, a UC Santa Barbara graduate who started showing in the crafts section in 1985, said the 18-month closure starting in February would displace 20 artists.
The Parks and Recreation Department has decided to move them to an area near a parking lot, a fate Kennedy says artists are resigned to, especially if the city would start pitching into an advertising fund.
One of the affected artists, a longtime member who didn't want to be named, said she hopes the city could give her and others a discounted fee.
"I love the camaraderie and feeling like it's my own little business," she said. "But everybody's complaining because I feel like we're a little taken for granted."
Senior recreation supervisor Jason Bryan, who oversees the show, said the timing of the bridge project is unfortunate, since it will coincide with the show's 50th anniversary in 2015. He said he understands some artists want to divert more funds away from Visit Santa Barbara and other arts organizations.
Artists air concerns and are very involved, Bryan said, noting quite a bit of city resources are used on the show that takes up a big swath of Chase Palm Park.
"These are people who draw outside the lines by their creative nature," he said. "They're some passionate people."
Bryan said the $534 artists pay for a one-year permit is affordable, and about half of them use a payment plan that tacks on an additional small fee.
Fees include $20 that goes into an advertising fund, which Bryan said has about $10,000 — most earmarked for anniversary year festivities.
He agrees the show is a great face for Santa Barbara, displaying all handmade originals except for some photography and digital art reproductions.
"There are a lot of restrictions that go along with the show," Bryan said. "That's part of the charm that makes us so different from a lot of other opportunities. The show is constantly changing and evolving."
Kennedy, who now shows his photography across from the Santa Barbara FisHouse restaurant, said he remembers when fees were just $25 and hopes the number of artists doesn't continue to dwindle.
"There is nothing like our show," Kennedy said. "It really puts a stamp of the art community on Santa Barbara. We have a whole group of people who work very, very hard all the time in order to be able to display their best work. Yet those in power in the city do absolutely nothing to show their appreciation for the attraction we all provide."

Russian prosecutors have charged Tymoshenko with criminal bribery of Russian Defense officials in her previous position as head of United Energy Systems of Ukraine. Tymoshenko met with Russian President Vladimir Putin [official profile] last month, at which time he allegedly assured her that Russia would recognize her legitimate diplomatic status and would not proceed with prosecution against her while she was in office. Tymoshenko was one of the key figures in the "Orange Revolution" in the Ukraine [government website] earlier this year. It is unclear if Tymoshenko will reschedule her visit to Russia.

I am thinking of donating some organs for transplantation. Am I wrong in wanting to do so?
Organ transplantation is one of the true medical wonders of our age. Medical science has progressed to the point that the replacement of an injured or diseased body part, such as a kidney, cornea of the eye, heart, liver, bone, bone marrow, skin, or pancreas is becoming fairly routine. Most of these tissues come from people who have arranged that they be so used following death. However, some organs—such as kidneys—can be donated to someone in need by a living , regional representative and physician.family member.
As is the case with many other technological advances, questions with profound economic, ethical, moral, and religious dimensions have arisen concerning organ transplantation. And, as with many other important aspects of life, we have been counseled to study the information, make decisions, and pray for wisdom about our choices. (See D&C 9:7–9; D&C 58:26–28.)
The Church has taken no official position on organ transplants. It seems obvious, however, that organ transplantation does not affect one's resurrection, since the organ would soon have returned to the basic elements of the earth following death anyway. Whatever happens to an organ following death, we are promised that "every limb and joint shall be restored to its body, yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost." (Alma 40:23.)
In the meantime, tremendous blessings have come to countless thousands and their families through organ donation and replacement. Several physicians involved in transplantation have shared with me inspirational stories and letters from those who have received this special service. Families grieving from the death of a loved one have been greatly comforted by the knowledge that other lives have been saved or measurably improved through receipt of a vital organ transplant. Other families have been spared debilitating illness or death because a living family member was able to donate an organ to a loved one.
As I work with donors and recipients and witness the selfless love that is evident in this gift of life and health, I am often reminded of Peter and John's encounter with the lame beggar as the two Apostles made their way into the temple. The lame man asked only for alms but instead was healed. To the one in need, Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee." (Acts 3:6.)
Those who are considering donating a kidney to a loved one should find comfort in knowing that only those who meet strict criteria will be considered as donors. Because of careful screening, and because of advances in transplantation techniques, donors do not face the risk they did just a few years ago. A healthy person can donate a kidney, for example, and continue to live a normal life, sustained by the remaining kidney.
While the matter of vital organ transplantation remains a highly personal one, it deserves prayerful consideration.
I recently ran across a reference to our Church's beliefs in a textbook. Much of what it said is accurate, but some of it is blatantly wrong. Should I write to the author or publisher and explain the inaccuracies?
Unfortunately, we occasionally run across inaccurate information about the Church in textbooks, classes, the media, and even in the minds of non-LDS family members, friends, neighbors, and associates. Often these inaccuracies result from people innocently repeating misinformation. , managing director, Church Public Communications/Special Affairs.
If you feel that it's possible to convey accurate information to others in a helpful, kind manner, without contention or debate, use that opportunity. But make sure that you're generating light, not heat. There is no place for heated debate or hostility in talking with nonmembers about the Church. The Savior warned the Nephites that "he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another." (3 Ne. 11:29.) Generally, in responding to inaccurate information about the Church, we should keep in mind four points:
Most historians', educators', and writers' motives are good, and we should try not to become defensive in dealing with such people.
We need to maintain good relationships with those who publish information about the Church, and we need to assist in their efforts to provide honest, accurate information.
All Church members can convey accurate information about the Church by the way they live.
Truth will ultimately prevail.
Often, the best defense is a good offense. Local Church leaders and ward and stake public communications directors are called, set apart, and trained to convey accurate information to the media by bringing positive, newsworthy stories about Church members, activities, and programs to the attention of journalists. To help local leaders and public communications directors develop the necessary skills to do that, two public communications training sessions have been broadcast over the Church satellite system.
In most cases, contact with the media is best left to local public communications directors or local Church leaders. But if a member has ideas he or she feels might be helpful in clearing up misinformation, he or she should feel free to discuss such matters with his or her ward or stake public communications director.
Of course, not all people who publish information about the Church have good motives. There are a few groups that purposely and maliciously present inaccurate information. In such cases, we need to remember the Savior's admonition to turn the other cheek (see Matt. 5:39; Luke 6:29; 3 Ne. 12:39) and to "pray for them which despitefully use [us]" (see Matt. 5:44; Luke 6:28; see also 3 Ne. 12:44).
One of the best sources of information about the Church is the lives of faithful members. The Lord has said, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:35.) There is no substitute for the example of Latter-day Saints who follow the Savior's teachings in loving and serving the Lord and their neighbors.
My daughter is interested in working as a nanny. Do you have any information about the subject I could discuss with her?
As a father of six daughters and a former bishop of several nannies, I appreciate parents' concern for their daughters' welfare. Because of the Church's emphasis on family life, many affluent couples see young LDS women as ideal caretakers for their children. Hundreds of young LDS women are working as nannies, many in economically well-to-do, urban parts of the United States. Yet many young women take jobs as nannies without a good understanding of what is expected of them. , former bishop of the Littleton First Ward, Nashua New Hampshire Stake, currently serving as a high councilor in the Schaumburg Illinois Stake.
Caring for children is an important responsibility. Parents who employ nannies want to hire someone who truly loves children and enjoys taking care of them. If a young woman does not particularly like caring for children, she should not even consider a job as a nanny! But even those who do enjoy caring for children may see work as a nanny only as an opportunity to live in a new area in luxurious surroundings and to be on their own away from home with a salary, room, board, and sometimes a car.
The job may sound glamorous, but reality is often far different. If a young woman is not prepared adequately for the experience (and sometimes even if she is) she may experience, as some nannies have, personality conflicts, overly demanding employers, conflicts between her own and her employer's standards—even courtrooms and moral transgression.
One way interested parents can help their daughter prepare is to find out all they can about the job before she takes it. Neither the Church nor Brigham Young University is affiliated with or endorses any of the agencies or informal networks that place nannies or governesses. The Church does not license them, nor does it review their contracts or placements. Such agencies are like other businesses. There are good, reputable ones, and there are poor ones. Many provide contracts and screening; others do not. Few of them provide training; all of them need to make money to stay in business.
Check out the agency, the family who will employ your daughter, and the contract. If you have questions about the contract (and it is a good idea to have one), ask an attorney about it before your daughter signs it. Ask questions about the employer and the job's requirements; don't assume anything. Know what she will do, what the employer will do, and what you will do if the plan doesn't work out. Is your daughter covered by health insurance? If not, and she becomes ill or is involved in an accident, who will pay for medical care?
Before your daughter takes the job, make sure that she understands what will be expected of her. While her primary responsibility may be child care, her employer may also expect her to prepare meals, do housework, and travel with the family. How many children will she be caring for? How many days off will she have each week? Will she be required to work evenings? If housekeeping is involved, what chores will she be expected to do, and how often? Will she be responsible for preparing the children's—or even the whole family's—meals? If she will have access to a car, does the family have rules about when and how often she may use it? Does the family have pets for which she will be expected to care?
You also might want to discuss with your daughter the reasons she wants to be a nanny. Too many young women view such positions as a chance to get away from home, from the Church, and from apparent restrictions. Is she accepting a position as a nanny with the objective of earning money to attend college or to serve a mission? If she already has a college degree or job skills in a chosen career field, it might be wiser for her to enter that field and obtain valuable job experience (and higher pay) rather than to accept a position as a nanny, in a kind of "postponement" of life decisions.
There is much one can do to prepare a daughter early in life for being away from home, whether as a nanny or otherwise. Four points to consider:
1. Prepare your daughter for life. Share with her your testimony of the gospel and help her build a strong testimony. The scriptures tell us that "inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents …
"And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord." (D&C 68:25, 28.)
Have regular family prayers and encourage regular individual prayers, in which your daughter can build a meaningful relationship with her Heavenly Father. Hold weekly family home evenings and family councils. Study the scriptures together—particularly the Book of Mormon—and teach how they can help her find solutions to life's many problems.
The auxiliary programs of the Church can also help. Seminary, where each of the standard works is studied in detail, can be valuable in preparing young people for life. The Young Women program also offers fine lessons and social opportunities that help parents teach the gospel.
2. Work with your daughter in setting goals. Unfortunately, some parents may view their daughter's position as a nanny as an opportunity to unburden themselves of responsibility. Help your daughter understand her purpose in life and her purpose for wanting to be a nanny, and help her set worthy, righteous goals for the next step in her life—whether it be school, a mission, temple marriage, or a career. Encourage her to counsel with the Lord so that she can know what that next step should be.
3. Be supportive. Treat the position as a nanny as a job and the family for whom she will be working as an employer. Encourage her to give an honest day's work for a day's pay and to do as the employer asks (as long as it is in keeping with her standards). Never leave her stranded—emotionally, spiritually, or physically. Let her know, always, that you love her unconditionally.
4. Counsel your daughter to contact the bishop in her new area as soon as she arrives. The same Church teachings, organization, and concern for the individual exist in Church units all around the world. But your daughter may need to make the first contact. Home teachers and visiting teachers should be assigned immediately. If they are not, your daughter should ask for them. She should let her new bishop know that she is eager to serve, and her bishop should be prepared to involve her with a meaningful assignment. Association with Young Single Adult or Single Adult groups in her area can help her meet many of her social needs, as well as help her overcome any homesickness she might feel.
All in all, how a young woman's experience as a nanny turns out depends on several things. If she approaches the job with a shallow testimony, selfishness, weak family ties and support, and vague or unknown goals, the experience can be shattering—and may lead to discouragement and sin. If, on the other hand, she approaches it with a strong testimony, an eye toward service and personal growth, and a supportive, loving family, she will long remember the experience as character-building and testimony-strengthening—a worthy means to a worthy end.

Laurel: Ben's Cat ties Maryland Million record with third Turf Sprint win
Ben's Cat tied a Jim McKay Maryland Million record by winning the $101,000 Turf Sprint for the third straight year Saturday at Laurel Park.
Toting 128 pounds, the highest weight he has ever carried, the 6-year-old Ben's Cat ($2.80) got a perfect trip sitting behind dueling leaders Boltin' Out and Steady Warrior. Ben's Cat responded when asked by Julian Pimentel and withstood a late charge by the 10-year-old Heros Reward to win by three-quarters of a length. He covered 5 1/2 furlongs on firm turf in 1:01.64.
"He is an unbelievable horse," Pimentel said. "When that horse came to him on the turn he took off again. At the end of the race he felt the other horse coming and he dug in."
The win moved King Leatherbury ahead of Dale Capuano for the top spot in the Maryland Million trainer standings with 10.
The other horses to win three straight Maryland Million races are Hall of Famer Safely Kept (Distaff, 1989-91), Countus In (Ladies, 1989-91) and Mz. Zill Bear (Ladies, 1993-95).
A son of Parker's Storm Cat, Ben's Cat became Leatherbury's first millionaire with a victory in the Grade 3 Turf Monster Handicap at Parx Racing in his previous start. He has won 18 of 27 starts with earnings of $1,216,090.
Also bred and owned by Leatherbury, Ben's Cat is 11 for 16 on turf and has 13 stakes victories. He had to recover from a broken pelvis before he made his maiden debut at age 4 in 2010, then began his career with eight consecutive victories, which included a 4 1/2-length score in the Turf Sprint. He won last year's Turf Sprint by a length.
Ben's Cat was conceding 11 to 18 pounds to his eight rivals.
"I was real worried about that 128 pounds," Leatherbury said. "Right to the end the horse was getting to us from the outside, old Heros Reward. I hope Ben is that good at 10 years old."
Heros Reward, a multiple graded stakes winner, improved his career earnings to $1,272,898. He finished three-quarters of a length in front of 11-1 shot Colony Club.
In the other Maryland Million undercard races:
* Action Andy ($10.40), cutting back to a six-furlong sprint following three straight turf routes, led wire to wire in the $95,000 Sprint. Ridden by Horatio Karamanos for trainer Carlos Garcia, Action Andy finished 2 3/4 lengths ahead of Javerre. It was another 6 1/4 lengths back to defending champion Sloane Ranger, the 4-5 favorite.
* Roadhog ($5.40) gave Karamanos back-to-back wins on the program by taking the $100,000 Turf over Change of Command. Roadhog had finished seventh in last year's Turf, contested over yielding ground.
* The 4-year-old filly Bold Affair ($2.40) coasted to her fourth stakes victory of the season, romping by 13 1/4 lengths in the $100,000 Distaff for fillies and mares going seven furlongs. Abel Castellano Jr. rode the winner for trainer Howard Wolfendale.
* Pagan Priestess ($15.20), ridden by Mike Luzzi, ran down pacesetter Weeper in deep stretch to prevail by a length in the $100,000 Ladies for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles on turf.
* Classy Coco ($11.20), second in each of her first two career starts, collected her first career win in the $100,000 Lassie for 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs. Matt Rispoli rode Classy Coco for Penn National-based trainer T. Bernard Houghton.
* Jazzy Idea ($5.20), rebounding from a sixth-place finish in the Charles Town Oaks, easily took the $100,000 Oaks by 6 ¾ lengths for jockey Elvis Trujillo and trainer Edwin Merryman.
* First-time starter Keep Momma Happy ($48.60), ridden by Carlos Marquez Jr., rallied from far back to get up by a neck over Alpha Mike Foxtrot in the $100,000 Nursery for 2-year-olds going six furlongs.
* Motherload Hipster ($4.40) gave Rispoli his second straight win on the card in the $50,000 Distaff Starter Handicap for fillies and mares at one mile.
* Varborough ($6.40), returning to Maryland for the first time since May, won for the fourth time in his last five starts in the $50,000 Starter Handicap at one mile.

President Obama's administration has teamed up with a major health care industry lobby to promote Obamacare to the American people, an effort that involves urging doctors who oppose the law to advocate for it anyway.
"We have been in communication with many individuals in the administration about our role as physicians in this and what we can help them do and what we can do to help our patients get the kind of information that they need," Dr. Ardis Hoven, president of the AMA, said in an interview for C-SPAN's Newsmakers program that aired Sunday. "But we will continue to work with the administration and do everything in our power to make this happen." The AMA has not been in touch with the White House "directly," she said.
Part of that outreach involves convincing doctors who dislike the law to fall into line. "Some support it, some did not support it," Hoven said of the doctors with AMA memberships when asked if the AMA is telling reluctant doctors to promote the law, "but at the end of the day the American Medical Association and its policy body, the house of delegates, came together in support of the Affordable Care Act."
She added that "our job as physicians will continue to be to get our patients the type of care that they need at the right time, at the right place, by the right provider."
Hoven also acknowledged that wait times might increase as a result of the law. "It's hard to know now," she replied when asked if wait times to see doctors would lengthen. "We're going to have to work on it, we've got to make a conscientious effort to make it happen, but it is quite doable and I am confident that we will be able to manage the new folks who now have health insurance who will be accessing the system."
