(b Eilenstedt, nr Halberstadt, July 21, 1779; d Brunswick, April 17, 1854). German organist, conductor and composer. Born into a family of Kantors, he first disclosed his musical gifts as a boy soprano, singing in the choirs of Halberstadt Cathedral and of his school at Magdeburg, where he studied with Zachariä. Later he moved to Brunswick, where he spent the rest of his life. He studied with his uncle and with J.G. Schwanenberger, succeeding the former as organist at the Brüdernkirche; his decision to accept the position rather than to venture upon a career as a freelance composer and teacher in Vienna was wholly due to the advice of Beethoven, whom he had consulted by letter in 1804. Wiedebein’s few published piano compositions appear to date from this period. In 1810, at considerable personal sacrifice, he was at last able to visit Vienna, where he spent three months and made Beethoven’s personal acquaintance. Later Wiedebein was obliged to support his family by teaching, but in ...

(b Ilford, Essex, Aug 29, 1949). English composer, conductor and music educationist. He took both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, between 1967 and 1972 and gained the doctorate in composition (with Lumsdaine) at Durham University in 1975. In 1973 he had founded the 20th-century music ensemble Gemini, which he directed for the next eleven years. During his period of study, his compositions underwent a maturation towards increasing formal clarity and textural transparency; works from the mid-1970s onwards show the deepening impact on Wiegold of non-Western (especially Indian) musics and philosophies, which meshed with a pre-existing concern to emphasize a spiritual dimension in music.
In the late 1970s he developed a practical interest in organizing workshops where people of all degrees of musical experience (including none) could become creatively involved together in composition and performance. This led in the 1980s to a shift of focus towards his activity as artistic director of the Performance and Communications Skills department of the GSM (until ...

(b Ardingly, West Sussex, July 19, 1964). English conductor. He graduated from Manchester University and studied at the RAM, principally with George Hurst. He won first prize in the Kirill Kondrashin International Conducting Competition in the Netherlands in 1989, which brought him engagements with leading Dutch orchestras, the Czech PO and the Moscow State SO. In 1989 he also formed the Premiere Ensemble, a chamber group committed to giving a première in each programme, with which he made the first recording of Das Lied von der Erde in Schoenberg’s chamber arrangement. He was associate conductor of the BBC SO, 1991–3, and music director of Opera Factory, 1991–4, with which he made his opera début with Don Giovanni in 1990 and also conducted The Rake’s Progress and Birtwistle’s Yan Tan Tethera. In 2000 he made an acclaimed Glyndebourne début with Peter Grimes. His American début was with the Chicago SO in ...
(b Långserud, Värmland, June 5, 1879; d Stockholm, April 3, 1950). Swedish composer, pianist and conductor. He studied at the Stockholm Conservatory with Lindegren (composition) and Andersson (piano). A state scholarship enabled him to study in Paris (1903–4), where he was organist of the Swedish church, and a Jenny Lind Stipend took him to Germany for further education (1905–7). There he had lessons with Kwast in Berlin, conducted at Karlsruhe (1907) and served as coach at the Berlin Opera (1908). He made his début as a conductor at the Royal Theatre, Stockholm, in 1911, and was then conductor of the Royal Orchestra (1911–24) and the Concert Society Orchestra (1925–38); he also conducted in several European cities. As a pianist he played his own concertante pieces and appeared as an accompanist. In 1915 he was elected to the Swedish Academy of Music. He composed in a national Romantic style, at first influenced by Brahms and Stenhammar but later dominated by Impressionist features with a great feeling for melody and harmony. Among the best works of his small output are the two piano concertos (which are among the most important Swedish compositions in the genre), the symphonic poem ...
(b Göteborg, Dec 11, 1939). Swedish pianist, composer and conductor. She studied the piano with Gottfried Boon in Stockholm and with Ilona Kabos in London. In 1959 she made successful débuts in Stockholm, London and Berlin, and in New York in 1964; her subsequent career as a pianist included world-wide tours. In 1977 she founded the Nordic Music Conservatory and in 1980 the Nordic Chamber Opera. During the late 1970s she also began to compose and to conduct. Most of her compositions are vocal works; her music is lyrical, but with elements of expressionism and Swedish neo-romanticism, especially in the Rilke songs and the opera Den Fredlöse.
[Whoopee John ]
(b New Ulm, MN, May 11, 1893; d St Paul, MN, June 15, 1961). American polka musician and bandleader. “Whoopee John” Wilfahrt is the bandleader most responsible for developing and popularizing the type of German American polka music known as “Dutchman.” He was born on a farm in Sigel Township near New Ulm, Minnesota. Like most of the people in the community, his family was descended from Germans from Bohemia. Recognizing his musical talent, John’s mother Barbara purchased a concertina for him in 1904, and by 1909 John had formed a trio with his brother and a cousin, which featured concertina, trumpet, and tuba.
In the ensuing years, John’s band grew, adding additional brass and reed instruments, as well as piano and drums. Moreover, the band’s reach grew with the possibilities afforded by the technological advances of the early 20th century: records and radio, as well as paved roads and automobiles to facilitate touring. In the 1920s the band became consistently known as the Whoopee John Band. According to anecdote, an enthusiastic fan shouted, “Whoopee, John is here,” when he arrived late to an engagement, creating Wilfahrt’s moniker....
Gaynor G. Jones
(b Schmalkalden, Sept 5, 1815; d Schmalkalden, Aug 26, 1873). German composer and conductor . He learnt the violin and the piano from his father at an early age and decided on a musical career when he was quite young. He took harmony, thoroughbass and organ lessons from the organist Burbach and in 1832 went to Kassel to study the violin and the piano with Anton Bott and theory with Baldewein; he completed his music education in Frankfurt, studying the piano with Aloys Schmitt and theory with Johann André. After public performances as a pianist, he went to Krefeld in 1840, where he took over the conductorship of the Liedertafel from 1841 and the Singverein from 1849. He also founded and directed song festivals in the Lower Rhine area. In 1865 he returned home to Schmalkalden after increasing ill-health and bad nerves, partly the consequences of alcoholism.
Wilhelm is remembered for his male-voice setting of Max Schneckenburger’s poem ...
(b Balham, London, Oct 12, 1880; d Toronto, Feb 16, 1968). Canadian composer, teacher, organist and choirmaster. Particularly influential as a teacher, he also wrote many choral and organ works that have been frequently performed across North America.
His early education was undertaken privately. At the age of eight he entered St Saviour’s Choir School, Eastbourne, where he studied until 1895. Several positions as organist and choirmaster in and around London culminated in his appointment to St John the Baptist, Holland Road, in 1903. After further studies with W.S. Hoyte, he gained the FRCO in 1899. A close association with Francis Burgess led to membership in the London Gregorian Association in 1910.
In 1913 Willan was appointed head of theory at the Toronto Conservatory and organist of St Paul’s. In the next year he became a lecturer in music at the University of Toronto. He later served as vice-principal of the conservatory (...

(b Newquay, Dec 30, 1919). English conductor, organist and teacher . He was a chorister at Westminster Abbey (1929–33) and studied at the RCM before becoming organ scholar at King's College, Cambridge (1939). War service, during which he won the Military Cross, interrupted his studies, but he returned to complete them (1945–7), then became organist of Salisbury Cathedral (1947–50) and of Worcester Cathedral (1950–57), during which time he conducted the Three Choirs Festival. He introduced Duruflé's Requiem to Britain in 1952. Willcocks returned to Cambridge in 1957 to become organist of King's College Chapel and director of the chapel choir. He developed its already famous choral tradition with distinction, enlarged the choir's repertory, and brought it before a wider public through broadcasts, recordings and overseas tours. He toured with the choir in Europe, Canada and Africa. The annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve became a distinctive mixture of the new and the familiar, heard and seen in many parts of the world through television and radio broadcasts....

(b Buenos Aires, Nov 23, 1862; d Buenos Aires, June 17, 1952). Argentine composer, conductor, pianist and teacher. Born into a family of musicians, he began to compose very early. His first piano lessons were with Pedro Beck; he also attended the Colegio S Martin and, from its foundation, the Escuela de Música de la Provincia, where he studied with Luis Bernasconi (piano) and Nicolás Bassi (harmony). While still a pupil at the school he played works by Paer and Liszt at the Teatro Colón; one of his first public performances was in 1879 at a Sociedad del Cuarteto concert organized by Bernasconi. Two years later he published his first work, the mazurka Ensueño de juventud. A scholarship took him in 1882 to the Paris Conservatoire, and there he was a pupil of Georges Mathías (piano), Emile Durand (harmony) and Benjamin Godard (instrumental ensemble), also studying composition with Franck. In Paris the piano works ...
(b London, May 8, 1893; d Worthing, Sept 7, 1978). English arranger, composer and conductor. In an early career as a violinist he performed with Beecham and Elgar and, like many of his contemporaries, also played for silent films. Williams contributed many scores for films before World War II, often uncredited on-screen, working alongside Mathieson and Nicholas Brodszky, and assisting on the first British sound-film, Alfred Hitchock's Blackmail. He finally achieved fame in 1947 when he wrote The Dream of Olwen for the film While I Live. While owing its success partly to its similarity to Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto, Williams's own mini-concerto became highly popular worldwide. A similar piece, Jealous Lover, reached the top of the US bestsellers when rediscovered in 1960 for the film The Apartment. He scored for over 20 feature films, and was the musical director for at least six more.
From 1941 Williams wrote and conducted numerous works for Chappell's Recorded Music Library, using the Queen's Hall Light Orchestra. This was the source of much of the music heard in wartime newsreels, and it also included ...

[Charles Melvin ]
(b Mobile, AL, July 10, 1911; d New York, Sept 15, 1985). American jazz trumpeter and bandleader . He taught himself to play the trumpet and toured with the Young Family band (which included Lester Young) when he was only 14. In 1928 he went to New York, where he made his first recordings (with James P. Johnson) and played briefly in the bands of Chick Webb and Fletcher Henderson. By February 1929 he had joined the Duke Ellington orchestra as a replacement for Bubber Miley, beginning a long association which was to make him famous. In his first 11 years with Ellington his playing became an indispensable part of the band’s sonority, and Ellington integrated solos for him into hundreds of compositions. Williams also took part in many excellent small-group recordings with Teddy Wilson, Billie Holiday, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Christian and other leading jazz musicians of the swing period....
(b Orlando, FL, June 12, 1949). American composer, theorist and conductor. He studied composition with Iain Hamilton and Paul Earls at Duke University (BA 1971), with Wuorinen, Davidovsky and Sollberger at Columbia University (MA 1973) and with Babbitt and J.K. Randall at Princeton University (MFA 1977, PhD 1982). He also studied conducting with Allan Bone and Monod. He has taught at Princeton (1977–8), the University of California, Davis (1978–9), and the College of William and Mary (from 1979), where he conducts the college symphony orchestra. He has also guest conducted a number of contemporary music ensembles. He has received many commissions from choral groups and instrumental ensembles and has won awards from the East/West Artists and the Ensemble Intercontemporaine for Amoretti (1980).
As a composer Williams uses both ordered and unordered pitch collections to determine thematic and harmonic materials; he strives to make audible the associations between pitch and interval by means of timbral, registral, rhythmic and dynamic relationships. He has a remarkable command of instrumental resources, imaginatively deploying sonorities within individual lines (as in ...

[Stanley R. ]
(b Danville, KY, April 10, 1894; d New York, Dec 17, 1975). American bandleader, clarinetist, and alto saxophonist. He began playing violin, but after 1909 concentrated on clarinet. In 1914 he moved to Cincinnati, where he later worked as a leader (1919–23). After settling in New York (1924) he led his own Royal Flush Orchestra (from 1925), which was resident at the Savoy Ballroom (1926 – January 1928); he made a number of recordings with the band as a singer, clarinetist, and alto saxophonist. Although Williams was capable of intense and effective blues playing, his style was marked by an extensive use of novelty effects. This has tended to obscure the quality of his bands, which recorded some of the finest examples of the Harlem style of the later 1920s, prominently featuring the trumpeter George Temple, the trombonist David “Jelly” James, and the pianist Hank Duncan, among other excellent soloists. Williams’s vocal work includes “talking blues” in the manner of Bert Williams (...

He learned the piano from the age of eight and after moving to Los Angeles with his family in 1948 studied with the pianist and arranger Bobby Van Eps. He served in the US Air Force (1951–4), orchestrating for and conducting service bands, then moved back to New York, where he studied for a year with Rosina Lhévinne at the Juilliard School and played in jazz clubs and recording studios. After returning to the West Coast he enrolled at UCLA and took up private composition studies with Arthur Olaf Andersen and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, among others. From 1956 Williams was a studio pianist in Hollywood and two years later began arranging and composing music for television, contributing the main title to Checkmate (1960; see Thomas and Burlingame). Through the mid-1960s he composed for several series and worked for Columbia Records as a pianist, arranger, and conductor; he also made a number of albums with André Previn. During this period Williams began scoring feature films, with many of his earliest scores for comedies, such as ...
(b Canton, OH, June 23, 1887; d Toledo, OH, May 28, 1964). American conductor and music educator. After graduating from Otterbein College (Westerville, OH) in 1911, he studied voice with herbert wilber Greene , herbert Witherspoon , and david Bispham in New York, and organ with Karl Straube in Leipzig. He became minister of music at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Dayton, Ohio, and formed a choir there in 1920. The choir achieved an excellent reputation, and he toured with it in New York, Boston, Chicago, and other cities. Inquiries from churches throughout the country made Williamson aware of the need for well-trained church musicians and led to his founding the Westminster Choir School in 1926. In 1929 the school moved from Dayton to Ithaca, New York, and in 1932 to its current location in Princeton, New Jersey. Williamson remained its president until his retirement in 1958, during which time he continued to conduct its choir both in the United States and abroad (it made four world tours). He edited the Westminster Series of Choral Music and was the author of several articles, including one on organizing and training a choir (...

[James Robert ]
(b nr Kosse, TX, March 6, 1905; d Fort Worth, May 13, 1975). American fiddler, singer, and bandleader. In 1931 he became one of the founding members of the seminal western-swing band the Light Crust Doughboys (named after the flour company that sponsored it on Fort Worth radio). Three years later he assembled the Texas Playboys, who played on radio station KVOO in Tulsa from 1934 to 1942. The group became very popular in the Southwest through broadcasts, recordings, personal appearances, and nightly dances at Cain’s Ballroom; during the 1940s it took part in films, and throughout the 1950s and 1960s it toured and recorded extensively. As a fiddler Wills combined traditional hoedown music with blues inflections, but as a bandleader he was receptive to musicians who could play jazz or the hot dance tunes that he himself was incapable of producing. The Playboys consequently combined country music string instruments with drums and wind instruments and performed an eclectic repertory that included blues, jazz, popular standards, and country music. Along with Milton Brown, Wills was one of the chief popularizers of ...
(b Mason City, IA, May 18, 1902; d Santa Monica, CA, June 15, 1984). American composer, conductor, flautist and lyricist.

Willson composed the scores for such films as ...


Storm Spotter Training Classes in Delaware County
by Sammy Edmonds
posted Mar 11 2014 3:37PM
It’s a sure sign of Spring...watching out for Spring storms.
The Delaware County Emergency Management Agency began its Severe Weather Spotter classes over the weekend in anticipation of severe weather this Spring and Summer.
The “Star Press” reports about 25 persons took part in Saturday’s training course that will teach them how to properly spot tornadoes and severe weather in the area when it occurs.
Indiana’s Severe Weather Preparedness Week is scheduled for next week in which agencies across the state prepare for severe weather and hope you do too.

After a Goochland County sewer line burst, causing 300,000 gallons of raw sewage to plunge in the water, RVA Paddlesports canceled its trips for a week. The business, which operates whitewater rafting and kayaking experiences on the James River, lost more than $30,000 in revenue, said Patrick Griffin, the company’s founder.
Even worse, the sewage leak is scaring customers. One group canceled its trip in the Varina portion of the James River, 35 miles from the leak and nowhere near the portion of the river under a safety advisory. Another family called off its outing a week in advance, deciding not to wait for the all-clear from the Virginia Department of Health, which came Wednesday.
River advocates are concerned about the health of the James, too. In the span of 10 days, sewage entered the river five times. Residents have expressed concern that visitors aren’t properly notified of when water conditions are poor and that testing performed by the state is slow and intermittent. And these concerns come at a time when Richmond is trying to figure out how to replace an outdated sewer system that frequently overflows in storms, dumping sewage in the water.
People are also reading…
“There are serious concerns for the public who are trying to go down and enjoy the river,” said Jamie Brunkow, James Riverkeeper for the James River Association.
On July 23, a separate leak was discovered in a ductile iron sewer main along the Pipeline Trail in downtown Richmond, and as many as 200 gallons of sewage dripped into the river. Workers slowed the leak but couldn’t completely contain it, and 40 gallons per hour continued to seep from the pipe.
That same day, the river narrowly missed another incident when a CSX freight train derailed, sending 13 coal cars off the tracks near Tredegar Street. It was originally believed that coal dumped into the Kanawha Canal, but now the Department of Environmental Quality says no coal entered the water.
In the days that followed, enough rain fell in Richmond that the city’s outdated sewer system overflowed three times, and sewage seeped into the James. Sewer overflows repeatedly endanger the safety of the water, river advocates said. The state has set a deadline in 2035 for Richmond to upgrade its system. But the repairs will come at a cost of more than $800 million, Mayor Levar Stoney has said.
On Saturday morning, Richmond resident Debby Cohen visited Pony Pasture and Huguenot Flatwater but saw no signs warning visitors to stay out of the water. She watched as a family unloaded a picnic basket and water wings from their car, so Cohen approached them and notified them of the advisory.
Nearby, there was an adjustable sign that can advise guests when the water is high or dangerous. The words “no user restriction” were still displayed.
Cohen went home and made two signs with cardboard and a marker. She wrote “Danger! Peligro!” and glued on a newspaper article explaining the health department’s warning. She attached the sign to a tree and called the Department of Health’s emergency line, speaking to a receptionist. She never got a call back as she was told.
On Monday, Cohen returned to Pony Pasture, where she saw two 8-by-11-inch signs advising river-goers of the danger. But there are multiple entry points to the water, and the signs were easy to miss, she said. A family was emerging from the water, so she told them about the risk of bacteria and advised they take a shower when they got home.
“This seems like an insufficient response to a potentially big problem for kids,” Cohen said.
A retired pediatric nurse practitioner, Cohen volunteers with the Medical Reserve Corps. Volunteers could have been stationed at the river to make sure visitors were aware of the risks, she said. Low-income people are the most likely to be affected.
“It’s not the privileged people who are swimming in the river,” she said.
Sharon Talarico, her partner who helped make the signs, said that if you didn’t see the newspaper or television news, you wouldn’t have known the state of the river on Saturday morning.
The VDH distributed signs to each locality and asked them to be posted, a department spokesperson said. The city printed 30 signs and put them up at all boat launches and in kiosks along the James River Park System, said Jim Nolan, a spokesperson for the mayor.
The majority of RVA Paddlesports’ business comes during a 12-week season in the summer, so losing a week of bookings is significant, Griffin said. Every day, the business waits for the results of water quality testing.
The DEQ tested the James twice after the Goochland pipe ruptured, on July 28 and again Monday. Generally, water quality tests in the Richmond area take a week to complete and are used to determine long-term trends, not short-term risks, said Margaret Smigo, the VDH’s waterborne hazards program coordinator.
In this instance, the department expedited the tests and finished in about a day and a half. It is still waiting for better technology to produce faster results, Smigo said. In other parts of the state, the DEQ can test water quality every day after a failed test. But those capabilities are available because of federal funding, Smigo said.
A spokesperson for the DEQ declined to comment, referring a reporter to the state health department.
Based on the speed at which the James flows, Griffin estimated the Goochland bacteria was clear from the river by Saturday. But he had to wait four more days for the state to retest the water and issue the green light to return.
Operating a business that depends on good weather and just the right amount of rain brings challenges, Griffin said. On the plus side, shutting down rafting and kayaking trips for a week allowed his staff a chance to rest.
And the timing wasn’t terrible. The company happened to be moving its equipment into a new warehouse at the time.
Perhaps the biggest problem dogging the James River is the obsolete sewer system in Richmond, which is more than 60 years old and combines stormwater with sewage in one-third of the city. When a significant amount of rain falls, the sewers overflow and sewage leaks into the river, an event known as a combined sewer overflow.
Between July 1 and Aug. 1, combined sewer overflows occurred five times. The James River Association tests the river once a week during the summer, and at Rocketts Landing, a site close to the portion of the city with a combined system, one out of every three tests has failed in the past eight years.
The state has given Richmond a deadline in 2035 to replace its outdated sewer, but the city said it would have to raise utility bills 187% to cover the costs of the overhaul.
Gov. Ralph Northam proposed spending $125 million of American Rescue Plan funds to pay for overflow problems in Richmond, Lynchburg and Alexandria. The General Assembly gathered last week to review his proposed budget.
On Sunday, five days after the Goochland pipe broke, the James River Association tested the water in the James. Pony Pasture was clean, signaling the sewage had washed out. But tests at Reedy Creek and 14th Street produced elevated levels of bacteria. Earlier that day at 5 a.m., following a large downpour, Richmond’s combined sewer system had overflowed, once again sending germs into the water.

Will GENOMELINK use my data for purposes other than providing me with analysis?
We may use your data, including your genetic information, for purposes other than providing you with your Trait analysis. Such purposes are described in our Privacy Statement, and include the following:
In addition, we may aggregate your data with other our other customers’ data for our own and our partners’ research, product development and improvement, and marketing purposes. Aggregated data cannot be used to identify you. For example, aggregated data may include a statement that “30% of our female users share a particular genetic trait,” without providing any data or Trait analysis specific to any individual user.
We want you to benefit from using Genomelink and we hope you enjoy learning about your genetics. We aim to empower you with knowledge about your DNA and Traits so that you can make choices to improve your health, wellness, and interests.
We also hope you use Genomelink to better understand how genetics works, including what your Raw Data looks like. We have a number of features, including our Raw Data view, to help you visually understand how your DNA data is analyzed based on growing genetics research.
If you use the DNA match feature, you will also gain an understanding of how many other users share DNA characteristics with you and will be able to connect with individual users who have similar DNA data.
There are some risks to using the Genomelink Service.
There is a chance that you could learn something about yourself that you did not want to know. For example, you may learn that you are predisposed to sadness, anger, or loneliness, or that you are likely to experience skin pigmentation or baldness. If you use our DNA match feature, you may also learn something about you or your family that might surprise you, including relatives that you may not know about. Since you share DNA with your blood relatives, what you learn about yourself could also affect them. You may want to discuss your options with a doctor, mental health professional or genetic counselor before or after you get your results.
There is a risk that your genetic information could be used as a basis of discrimination. To address concerns regarding possible health insurance and employment discrimination, many countries (including the United States) have enacted laws to prohibit genetic discrimination in those circumstances. The laws may not protect against genetic discrimination in other circumstances such as when applying for life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance. You should talk to your physician or genetic counselor if you have concerns about genetic discrimination.
We may need to share details about you with regulators and law enforcement. These details may include your Raw Data, Trait analysis, or other Personal Information. We will only share these details if we believe that the law or legal process requires us to do so. Please see our Privacy Statement for more details.
Finally, there is a risk that we experience a security incident and, as a result, someone accesses your data and results without authorization. This information could allow someone to connect your Raw Data and other Personal Information back to you. We take steps to reduce the risk of security incidents. Please see our Privacy Statement for more details.
Your Raw Data and Trait analysis cannot tell you everything about you -- your DNA is only a part of who you are. The analysis we do on your Raw Data, including any reports we create for you, is not deterministic. In other words, the analysis and results describe your probability of having a given Trait, and can only rarely predict when you have that Trait for certain. In some cases, the choices you make about how you live your life will influence your Traits more than your DNA.
It is possible that the Raw Data you upload to Genomelink contains errors. In some cases, errors can occur when a Third Party DNA Service sequences your DNA or reads the stored genetic information. Because we do not, at this time, collect and test your DNA samples ourselves, we are unable to identify the errors that might occur in the processing of your DNA sample.

Carolina Panthers Game Friday: Panthers vs Steelers prediction, odds, spread, line, over/under & betting info for NFL preseason Week 3 game
The Carolina Panthers return to Bank of America Stadium on Friday evening for their final preseason game before things get a little more serious during the 2021 season. Head coach Matt Rhule plans to play the majority of starters for around a half against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who’ll provide a stern test of their credentials after reaching the postseason last time around.
Carolina is currently 0-2 in preseason games after losing to the Baltimore Ravens and at the Indianapolis Colts. Although not the end of the world, this is the last chance to generate some momentum with the first-team unit before the Panthers begin preparations for a hugely important Week 1 clash against the New York Jets.
Conversely, the Steelers are 3-0 in their warmup games so far. Mike Tomlin’s men fell short in the playoffs despite a strong campaign overall in 2020, with this season potentially the last of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s storied time with the organization.
All eyes will be on Sam Darnold in this one. The signal-caller was on the field for just one series against Baltimore, so this is the first real chance we’ve had to see just how well the former first-round pick has settled in a different environment.
Carolina Panthers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers odds for Preseason Week 3.
Looking ahead to Friday’s preseason Week 3 contest, the Panthers are currently favored to triumph by 4 points over the Steelers according to the latest odds from WynnBET.
Anyone wishing to bet a winner or loser for the game can get the Panthers at -195 (bet $195 to win $100) on WynnBET, with the Steelers currently standing at +165 (bet $100 to win $165).
WynnBET is also expecting a moderately high-scoring game for Carolina’s preseason finale. The over-under for the game currently stands at 35.5, which can be bet at -110 (bet $110 to win $100) either way.
Carolina Panthers injury report vs. Pittsburgh Steelers for Preseason Week 3.
There are a couple of players dealing with injuries in Carolina, although most aren’t what anyone would call as too serious. Kenny Robinson will definitely miss the final preseason game with a problem, with other such as Marquis Haynes and A.J. Bouye set to be game-time decisions.
The Panthers aren’t expected to put Christian McCaffrey in the firing line. Something that isn’t entirely unexpected considering the running back’s problems staying healthy last season.
The Steelers are expected to sit the majority of their starters, with Dwayne Haskins already confirmed as the team’s quarterback.
Carolina Panthers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction for Preseason Week 3.
This one could go either way. The Panthers won’t want to fall flat in the first half with their starting lineup out there, so the stakes are much higher in this game than at any stage during the preseason so far.
Considering the need is probably greater for Carolina, taking them at -4 is the play for us.

Carolina Panthers next game and schedule.
Business is about to pick up for the Panthers, who next take the field in Week 1 of the regular season against the New York Jets at Bank of America Stadium on September 12.
This game has so many fascinating storylines, including Darnold, Robby Anderson, and Frankie Luvu going against their former employers and the competitive debut of No. 2 overall selection Zach Wilson on the other side.
This will be followed by a home game against the New Orleans Saints and a trip to the Houston Texans to kick-off Week 3 on Thursday Night Football.

Opponents dominated the first round of public input on Minneapolis’ two-decade vision for its future development. Now city planning commissioners will learn from a public hearing Monday if revisions to the plan will earn more support for increasing housing density and quell the fears of those worried about neighborhood destruction.
The Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls for denser development citywide by allowing multiunit housing in neighborhoods now reserved for single-family homes and more intense development along transit corridors.
In more than 2,100 public comments submitted online to the city this spring and summer on housing-related aspects, critics outnumbered supporters 2-to-1, according to a Star Tribune analysis.
City planners released an updated version of the comprehensive plan last month. Major changes included allowing three-unit properties in every neighborhood, instead of the original plan for fourplexes, and scaling back a plan for up to six-story structures on blocks near busy transit corridors.
Minneapolis real estate attorney Tim Keane, a vocal opponent of the comprehensive plan, said he doubts that city planners weighed both sides of the comment debate equally.
“In everything I have observed, the process has been structured to reinforce the original premise,” Keane said.
By contrast, 2040 plan supporter Janne Flisrand, a representative of the pro-density group Neighbors for More Neighbors, said she saw changes based on specific requests during the public comment period, such as rezoning for more density in south Minneapolis’ East Isles neighborhood.
“Speaking for myself, I see many of the things that I asked for in the plan have shifted,” said Flisrand.
The city introduced the first draft of the comprehensive plan in March. The proposal provides a road map for Minneapolis over the next 20 years on interconnected goals that range from accommodating density to reducing carbon emissions and making the city racially equitable.
From the start, the plan’s recommendations to loosen zoning codes — particularly in residential areas — have generated the most controversy, setting off shouting matches at neighborhood forums and lawn-sign campaigns on both sides.
On Monday, the city’s Planning Commission will hold its first public hearing on the second version of the plan. The City Council will hold its own public hearing next month.
In the first round of public input, the city received more than 18,000 comments through in-person public forums, online comments and more.
In an interview last month, Heather Worthington, the city’s long-range planning director, said staff reviewed every one.
“I think we have done a very robust and very deep process of considering the comments that we received,” she said.
The Star Tribune analyzed more than 2,100 public comments submitted online to the city and posted on the 2040 plan’s website, focusing on areas directly addressing housing and density. Of those, about 60 percent expressed opposition, 26 percent supported the concepts and the rest were inconclusive or unrelated.
Of the hundreds who supported the plan, many lauded its goals to make Minneapolis neighborhoods more affordable and racially integrated.
“Love this!” wrote one. “These plans will allow our city to adapt and thrive. I can’t wait to see what new housing options will be built in the near future.”
Some supporters urged the city to loosen zoning restrictions further to allow for more density, or even require it, in some areas.
“Density is good when done right and for the most part, this plan proposes higher density in the appropriate places and along transit lines,” one commenter wrote. “If anything, I would double down on the density requirements of certain areas such as the downtown core and require a minimum of 15 stories or more.”
Opponents worried that allowing more multiunit buildings would wreck the character of their neighborhoods and give developers a free pass to buy up and tear down single-family homes, many of them small enough that they’re affordable.
“This plan could destroy the nature of my neighborhood and my reason for living in the city,” wrote a south Minneapolis resident. “We moved here because we like the idea of living in a neighborhood of well-maintained older homes with sunny lots.”
“NO NO NO ... You are crazy!” wrote another. “I work outside [Minneapolis] but live inside. We don’t need to develop all this land in one of the biggest giveaways to developers.”
Some were skeptical that the proposals were enough to make Minneapolis more affordable and ease segregation, and worried it may do the opposite.
“You say the plan is for racial equality but all you are doing is making developers’ pockets bigger and creating 2-3-4 plexes that will be too expensive for most people of color,” wrote one commenter.
The Planning Commission’s public hearing is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Monday in room 317 of City Hall. The City Council’s will take place Nov. 14 at 4:30 p.m. in the same location.
The City Council plans to vote on the final plan in December.

'I definitely felt trapped': Jessica Mauboy reveals it wasn't 'a panic attack' that caused her to cancel her Melbourne Cup performance in 2015
The singer puzzled fans when she was a no-show on stage to sing the National Australian anthem at the Melbourne Cup in 2015.
And Jessica Mauboy has now denied it was a panic attack that saw her pullout mere minutes before the scheduled performance.
'I definitely felt trapped': Jessica Mauboy reveals it wasn't 'a panic attack' that caused her to cancel her Melbourne Cup performance in 2015 in an upcoming episode of Anh Do's Brush With Fame, reports The Daily Telegraph
The publication claims the comedian and painter will quiz the singer on her cancelled performance while he creates her portrait in season two's first episode.
'I just felt a really bad energy… it was the people I didn't connect with,' she tells Anh.
It's unclear as to whether she address the claims her cancellation had anything to do with her choice of footwear, as previously reported.
''I just felt a really bad energy': Jessica blamed a 'bad energy' and people she didn't connect with for pulling out mere minutes before the scheduled performance in 2015
She will however describe it as one of the most hectic experiences she's ever experienced.
'When you just fall into the wrong hands and it's not where you want to be, and so respectfully for myself I wanted to stay true to that and not be a part of it at all,' she explains.
'For the first time, it was something that I could say no... And that was just coming from a place of being real, and being real to myself,' she adds.
'I wanted to stay true to that and not be a part of it at all': She described the Melbourne Cup experience as 'hectic' and felt the need to say 'no' in order to be 'real' to herself
In conversation: It's unclear as to whether Jessica address the claims her cancellation had anything to do with her choice of footwear, as previously reported and alluded to by her representation admitting at the time there were issues over 'clothing and preparation'
At the time of the incident, Victoria Racing Club chief executive Simon Love released a statement: 'We were very disappointed that Jessica Mauboy was on course and didn't perform today.'
As the shock unfolded, Mauboy's representation admitted there were issues over 'clothing and preparation', saying the singer was 'incredibly sorry'.
In his second season, Anh will interview and paint supermodel Megan Gale, Olympian Ian Thorpe, journalist Ray Martin and domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty.
Jessica Mauboy's episode on Anh Do's Brush With Fame appears on the ABC on Wednesday, April 12th from 8pm

This greatly enhanced version of Bob Ditter's earlier book, In the Trenches, contains a wealth of wisdom for camp administrators and solid practical advice for many of the challenges they face.
Leadership today is as much about the people who are following, as it is about the people doing the leading. While camps have often been places that are as dedicated to the development of their staffs, as much as they have been to the development of their campers, the need for a mentoring and coaching style of leadership is greater than ever. With a fiercely competitive world economy, a war of religious extremism being waged that has no physical boundaries, and the imminent threat of fouled water and global warming, our young people will need all the “transforming” and mentoring we can give them.
This book contains examples of the kinds of skillful interpretations and interventions that camp professionals of the next generation need to model, if they want to be transformative leaders. It begins with a discussion of the change in leadership style the author advocates and continues with a unit about the behavioral and social challenges reflected in young people today. The second unit presents social issues that affect older campers and staff, including sexuality, race, and so on. Unit #3 is specifically designed as a resource for staff. It contains critical advice on talking with campers about sensitive issues, how to maintain appropriate boundaries with campers, how to work together as co-counselors, and more. The book continues with a wide range of thoughtful discussions about situations and issues all camp professionals face.
As such, this text is partly a “how-to” book, as well as a reference tool and representation of the kind of thoughtful, measured, and skillful way of thinking and intervening that has come to be known as “being Ditterized.” Many of the chapters have appeared in Camping Magazine over the years; some of them were published previously in the book In the Trenches. Read it on behalf of all of the young people who come to camp hungering for the kind of nurturing, mentoring, and coaching skills that will help shape their futures and their generation.

The auditions are over, the new season has started and we have a host of newbies eager to earn their cherry popping rights in time for our next concert in January. But how have the first few weeks of the season been going for our new Pinkies? We asked soprano Alicia, altos Jen and Ali, and bass Paul to spill the beans.
Why did you want to join the Pink Singers?
Ali: I went to the last concert (Notes from a Small island) and thought the standard of singing was very impressive; I hoped I’d be good enough! Also there was a sense of fun that exuded from the stage and I thought it seemed like a great thing to be part of.
Paul: Two years ago, I inadvertently found myself at a party. There was a Pink Singers connection and much of the choir were there. Afterwards, my husband Ben decided to audition. I had too many other commitments at the time, but that’s all changed now and I figured it was my turn to try out!
Jenny: I’ve had for like, ever, a bitter feeling of regret not to play music, or sing, or compose or, well, be musically involved. I love music, just, so so so much, I MUST be a musician, you know? I’ve always thought I should sing – add a French accent on top of that, and you’re like, oh oui, oui! I love singing (if someone up there has filmed each time I was alone in my car/bedroom/bathroom… they’ll know). When my friend Rachel, a long-time Pinkie, advertised available spaces in her LGBTQ-friendly choir, I thought, “this is the opportunity I was waiting for.” And I made it happen.
Alicia: I’m from Montréal, Québec and moved to London in September. Moving abroad can be pretty scary and I wanted to find my ground as quickly as possible. When I look back at my planning notes, the Pink Singers were at the top of my list!
How did the audition go? Was it a bit like the X Factor..?
Jenny: I’m not sure about the X Factor, does the The Voice count? The audition had two parts- singing in a small group and then showing off your own singing skills. The second part freaked me out! There was a really great soprano singer auditioning before me and she sounded awesome. It froze me. I was too scared to sing at the appropriate volume and of course, ended up out of tune. Obviously, my pretty face saved the day. 😉 That wouldn’t have happened on The Voice.
Ali: Quite nerve wracking – took me back to doing aural tests in music exams!
Paul: The audition was very nerve wracking. I’m not a particularly technical singer and my sight reading is atrocious, but clearly I must have done something right! Having to impress the judges, Simon, Mel and Cheryl – sorry I mean Murray, John and Oli, was no mean feat…
How have your first few weeks at rehearsals been going?
Paul: The first few weeks have truly been magical. The warmth and welcoming nature of the whole choir has made the process very easy. The repertoire for me is very challenging; some days I wake up in the morning and the first thing that goes through the mind is a German Mozart lyric or a vogue dance move. (I think I’m developing a problem).
Last week at rehearsal though, singing ‘And So It Goes’, there was a point where I put down my music, turned my head, listened to the choir and I thought, this is special. I’m proud to be a part of it.
Ali: I love the eclectic range of music we sing, it’s part of what attracted me to the Pink Singers. In one rehearsal we’ll be singing Brahms, then Joni Mitchell and learning choreography for River Deep Mountain High! It keeps me on my toes!
Is being in the Pink Singers what you expected so far?
Alicia: It’s great – I was very amused at all the similarity with my home choir and also pleased with the structure and differences; it’s teaching me a lot and I feel very supported. I’m looking forward to performing with the group in January!
Jenny: It is hard work, but I’m enjoying the experience a lot! Being part of the choir is fun and rewarding, and no one has ever told me off for being an awful singer! Having to master 19 songs to be able to perform ‘off-copy’ is a lot of pressure, but it’s all worth it and there is incredible joy both in singing and in hearing yourself improve, as well as a great feeling of being part of something bigger.
Ali: It was daunting walking into a group of strangers but the welcome from everyone in those first few weeks was amazing and made me feel like I’d found something rather special.
And finally, how was the newbie party?!
Paul: the newbie party didn’t disappoint. I was given a sticker with Northern Ireland on it and the rest of the night, my quest was to unite the Kingdom, so thanks to Hester’s Scotland we made it half way! It was a great way to integrate, not just the newbies but the whole choir with each other.
My lasting memory was at the end of the night as I was making my way down the road towards King’s Cross. Behind me in the distance I could hear a drunken choir’s rendition of ‘My Heart Will Go on’ wafting into the sky. At that moment, I realised that my Sundays are not going to be the same again..!

General Motors will recall more than 217,000 vehicles with start-stop accumulator problems. Missing bolts can cause transmission fluid leaks and vehicle fires.
Recalled models include the 2018–2019 Chevrolet Cruze, 2018–2019 Buick LaCrosse, 2018–2020 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018–2020 Chevrolet Traverse, 2018–2020 GMC Terrain, 2018 Chevrolet Malibu, 2019–2020 Buick Encore, 2019–2020 Buick Enclave, 2019–2020 Cadillac XT4, 2019–2020 Chevrolet Blazer, 2019–2020 GMC Acadia and 2020 Cadillac XT6.
The automaker said that buggy assembly line software caused some start-stop accumulators to be installed without all required bolts.
As a result, the transmission could leak oil and the vehicle could experience a loss of propulsion.
If the leaking fluid contacts an ignition source, the vehicle could catch fire.
When GM discovered the missing bolts in July, supplier Borg Warner inspected the accumulators and GM tested the components.
“Bench testing was completed on September 21, 2020 and showed potential failures prior to end-of-life on start-stop accumulators with missing bolts for one of the two affected transmission designs.” – GM’s investigation
The recall is expected to begin December 14. Dealers will replace accumulators if bolts are missing.

- The FDA's decision to stop the sale of surgical mesh intended for transvaginal repairs of pelvic organ prolapse will primarily affect Boston Scientific and Coloplast, which were experiencing declining revenues of these products since the original safety warning in 2011.
- A number of manufacturers exited the market in 2011, however, the companies will still be subject to extensive litigation regarding the use of these products.
- Despite the action being US based, it is likely the remaining manufacturers of surgical mesh intend for transvaginal repairs of pelvic organ prolapse will remove them from the market globally.
The FDA has taken action to stop the sale of surgical mesh intended for transvaginal repairs of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Surgical mesh intended for this use has caused controversy, with the FDA reclassifying the devices as class III (high risk) in 2016 up from class II (moderate risk). The reclassification meant that manufacturers were required to submit and obtain approval of a PMA in order to continue marketing the devices in the US.
Surgical mesh has been used by surgeons since the 1950s to repair abdominal hernias. In the 1970s, gynaecologists began implanting surgical mesh for abdominal repair of POP and, in the 1990s, for the transvaginal repair of POP. In 2002, the first mesh device for transvaginal repair of POP was cleared for use as a class II moderate-risk device. In 2011, the FDA issued an FDA Safety Communication, which identified concerns and issued new recommendations about the use of surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP. Later in 2011, the FDA issued 131 orders to conduct postmarket surveillance studies (522 orders) to 34 manufacturers of surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP. Most manufacturers elected to stop marketing surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP after receiving their 522 orders.
The FDA has now ordered the manufacturers of all remaining surgical mesh products indicated for the transvaginal repair of POP to stop selling and distributing their products in the US immediately. The order is the latest in a series of escalating safety actions related to protecting the health of the thousands of women each year who undergo surgery transvaginally to repair POP. The FDA has determined that the manufacturers, Boston Scientific and Coloplast, have not demonstrated a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for these devices, which is the premarket review standard that now applies to them. The companies had 10 days as of April 16 2019 to submit their plan to withdraw these products from the market. In reviewing the PMAs submitted by the two manufacturers, the Agency determined they failed to provide an adequate assessment of the long-term safety of these devices and failed to demonstrate an acceptable long-term benefit of these devices compared to transvaginal surgical tissue repair without the use of mesh (native tissue repair). Since the FDA has not received sufficient evidence to assure that the probable benefits of these devices outweigh their probable risks, the Agency has concluded that these products do not have a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
Boston Scientific filed two PMAs for its devices, the Uphold LITE vaginal support system and the Xenform soft tissue repair system, and Coloplast filed a PMA for its device, Restorelle DirectFix anterior. In February 2019, the FDA convened an advisory panel to solicit input from experts on how to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP. The panel recommended that to support a favourable benefit-risk profile, the effectiveness of surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP should be superior to native tissue repair at 36 months and the safety outcomes for surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP should be comparable to native tissue repair. The FDA agreed with these recommendations, and because such data were not provided by manufacturers in their PMAs, the FDA decided not to approve them. Even though these products can no longer be used in patients moving forward, Boston Scientific and Coloplast are required to continue follow-up of the subjects already enrolled in their 522 studies.
Boston Scientific and Coloplast responded to the FDA's decision. Boston Scientific stated that it is deeply disappointed by this decision and believes the inaccessibility of these products will severely limit treatment options for the 50% of women in the US who will suffer from POP during their lives. Given the FDA's decision, the company will no longer sell the Uphold LITE vaginal support system and the Xenform soft tissue repair matrix. After Boston Scientific reviews its plans with the FDA and other appropriate regulatory authorities, the company will provide instruction following the approved process for removal of existing customer inventory.
Coloplast stated that it is disappointed by the FDA decision to remove surgical transvaginal mesh as a treatment option for women suffering from POP. Coloplast has worked with the FDA on the 522 clinical studies to document the long-term efficacy and safety of the products. The company noted that mesh sales to treat POP in women account for approximately 0.2% of its global revenue, which totalled DKK16,449mn (USD2,609mn) in FY18.
Surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP has resulted in litigation for multiple companies. Manufacturers of surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP included Ethicon(Johnson & Johnson), American Medical Systems (Endo International, formerly Endo Health Solutions), Boston Scientific and CR Bard (now part of Becton Dickinson). Ethicon, American Medical Systems and CR Bard withdrew their surgical mesh from sale; however, were still subject to litigation. As an example, in February 2013, Ethicon was ordered to pay USD3.35mn to a single patient who filed suit against the company, citing injury resulting from their implanted Prolift vaginal mesh implant, while over 400 patients had at that time filed suit against the company regarding problems with the company's Gynecare mesh product. Additionally, according to Endo, a significant increase in the number of lawsuits filed against American Medical Systems and/or Endo concerning transvaginal mesh devices contributed to declines in American Medical Systems' Women's Health product revenue.
As of February 5 2019, approximately 53,000 product liability cases or claims related to transvaginal surgical mesh products designed to treat stress urinary incontinence and POP had been asserted against Boston Scientific. Generally, the plaintiffs allege personal injury associated with use of the company's transvaginal surgical mesh products. The plaintiffs assert design and manufacturing claims, failure to warn, breach of warranty, fraud, violations of state consumer protection laws and loss of consortium claims. As of February 5 2019, Boston Scientific had entered into master settlement agreements in principle or was in the final stages of entering one with certain plaintiffs' counsel to resolve an aggregate of approximately 50,000 cases and claims. All settlement agreements were entered into solely by way of compromise and without any admission or concession by the company of any liability or wrongdoing
Coloplast noted that since 2011, along with a number of other major manufacturers, it has been named as a defendant in individual lawsuits in various federal and state courts around the US alleging injury resulting from use of transvaginal surgical mesh products designed to treat POP and stress urinary incontinence. A multidistrict litigation (MDL) was formed in 2012 in the Southern District of West Virginia to consolidate federal court cases in which Coloplast is the first named defendant. Since the first lawsuits were filed, Coloplast has been intent on disputing the current and any future litigation, and has continually considered which strategy and other steps may serve the company's best interests. The total amount recognised since the 2013/14 financial year for expected costs of litigation in the US amounts to DKK5.25bn (USD832mn) including legal costs. Management estimates that more than 95% of known lawsuits in the US have now been settled.
