data © OpenStreetMap contributors Hayes Carll and Corb Lund hadn’t played a concert together since 2018 but they came to the Bijou Theater in Knoxville Tennessee for their “Bible on the Dash” tour We quickly became best friends and would go and  trade tours with each other He would bring me up to Canada and then I would have him come down to Texas or in the States We collaborated on a number of songs over the years.” so I’m gonna take a break and we’ll have Corb play for a while,” and walked off the stage guitar in hand leaving Lund to entertain the audience with his brand of folksy Americana a prairie poet who is a generally funny and charismatic singer/songwriter that can go toe-to-toe with the best storytelling musicians such as Todd Snider or Loudon Wainwright III If Ryan Bingham hadn’t already been cast in “Yellowstone,” Lund would have been a great fit in the Dutton ranch bunkhouse If the call went out for the stereotypical guy sitting in a rocker on the back porch spinning yarns The two musicians had an easy conviviality to their back and forth the banter never sounding forced or having a hint of one-upmanship Carll informed the audience this was only the second night of their tour This would be all well and good but not worth the time if the songs were weak Carll brought his best material as did Lund and both musicians also brought their A-games For 90 minutes it all felt intimate and relaxing but energetic as well Lund got the show underway on an ominous tone with a dark song about suicide He was writing songs in a middle-of-nowhere cabin and “After being out there by myself for a few weeks you start to feel a little snicky,” Carll took over to play ‘You Get It All’ from the album of the same name It’s a sparse country ballad about the challenges and rewards of a life devoted to one person “from the chapel to the hearse / you get it all” Lund is from Alberta province North of Montana where people need to be self-sufficient “You have to have all kind of skills when you’re out there ranching,” he said “He even makes his own ammunition.” Lund agreed that was so and introduced his next song as “kind of an end to civilisation sort of song It’s a canned food and guns and ammo rocker” and struck the first chord to ‘Getting’ Down on the Mountain’ from his excellent “Cabin Fever” album also off Carll’s “You Get It All” album and is one of his finest compositions where God is a woman who comes down to Earth to check out her creation and meets with the kind of situations humans face regularly The two played their first duet on Carll’s ‘Little Rock,’ trading verses as his disillusioned character travels from place to place seeking something more meaningful in life before coming to the conclusion he may as well “make it back to Little Rock” because whatever he’s looking for isn’t out there Carll was from Houston and when it came time to go off to college The school did have a radio station and a hacky-sack club he met another student who was into reggae and had long dreads which somehow turned blue because of a dye in the bed sheets “There was an opening in a time slot on the radio station,” Carll continued “so we wound up with a show called The Rasta and the Redneck.” After a bit of give and take about Lund cleaning fish he caught while Carll wrote a song Carll then introduced a song intended for a new album coming out in August (2025) called ‘The Progress of Man.’ It’s his typical social conscience with a twist tune and starts off like this: “Man on TV he’s making strange faces/ folks flying rockets to faraway places / The world’s getting turned on by assholes and racists / It’s all for the progress of man.” Carll’s songs have a country simplicity that can sometimes hide the social conscience and sharp humour that runs through them Lund’s songs are peopled by interesting characters that put a smile on your face hearing of their escapades or you may recoil in horror at some unfortunate  turn of events infectiously funny and full of momentum that lasted through the evening The mutual respect was on display for all to see “I’ve always been drawn to Corb’s writing,” Carll said “He writes passionately about the things that are important to him — the western culture I think he’s one of the best when it comes to writing about life and he happens to have an interesting life He’s also a really clever wordsmith and is funny Lund graduated from an Alberta band called the Smalls to becoming a heck of a musician and he’s got the raucous following to prove it He told the audience he considered Carll to be one of the musicians he looks up to although both have a healthy strain of self-deprecation running through their bloodstreams Much of the evening’s magic came from the spontaneous interplay you can only get from two friends with mutual respect for what they do Lund admits to not doing well with co-writers except for Carll and a friend of theirs “She’s got a lot of irons in the fire,” he said “writing a bunch of hits for Luke Bryan and those country people And she’s also quite successful in the multi-hundred thousand dollar show horse world kind of George Strait meets the Texas Tornados.” ‘Was Fort Worth Worth It?” is one of those guy and a girl and horses tunes (Did the Stockyards turn us into somethin’ / to where we should be ashamed?) that sticks to you for days like one of their other classics each time one song ended there were random song titles being shouted out from the audience Carll had thought about adding a request portion “The silver lining about being on the fringes of the music business like we are,” he allowed but we can also play whatever we want and not be in a box on the radio but I’m going to play that one I heard someone ask for I want to preface it with a quote from my friend Ray Wylie (Hubbard) I wanted to play him this song because he has one called ‘Redneck Mother’ which in many ways served him well But it has been attached to him for the rest of his life I played this one for him and he looked at me and said the problem with irony is not everybody gets it.’ I found that to be true.” The song attached to Carll forever is ‘She Left Me for Jesus,’ and it’s chorus is ripe for sing-alongs One of the priceless stories Lund told had to do with the fine Knoxville musician “Scott made me appreciate how big a deal Tennessee football is (Go Vols!) He wears UT socks at gigs and shows them to the audience on game days One time we were down in Texas in the early aughts and the Texas music scene was kinda at war with the Nashville scene Those people just thought Nashville was all of Tennessee so when Scott gets up on stage and says “Hi people booed.” Lund paused for a moment and then said “I’m gonna curse here just for emphasis of the story you motherfuckers would be speaking Spanish.” (Sam Houston commander of the Texan army that helped win Texas’ independence friends.) “That was one of my all-time favourite moments,” Lund said the last song of the evening was the title song to the tour Lund said he’d been working on the song for six years and still hadn’t finished it so he took it to Carll and it was done in a half hour It’s another one of those “irony” songs Carll spoke of earlier about motorists putting a bible on the dashboard as a way of appearing righteous church-going people should they get pulled over by the police I looked at the huge tour bus parked outside and couldn’t resist taking a peek to see if there was a bible on the dash Hamilton Leithauser “This Side Of The Island” The Deep Dark Woods release new song and announce tour dates Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

President Lund spoke of the power of the Aaronic Priesthood and those whom God entrusts it to The following is a summary of what he said To watch young men be ordained as holders of the Aaronic Priesthood is to be a “witness to the disruption of the very patterns of this world by godly authority spreading across the earth.” teacher and priest helps young men prepare for a lifetime of service to others “They will find themselves in consequential times and places where their presence and prayers and the powers of the priesthood of God they hold will profoundly matter.” Priesthood holders from the Old Testament to today are entrusted by the Lord to teach and administer Heavenly Father’s ordinances to remind His children of the Savior’s Atonement “The Aaronic Priesthood is called the preparatory priesthood partly because its ordinances allow them to experience the weight and joy of being on the Lord’s errand preparing them for future priesthood service when they may be called upon to minister in unforeseeable ways — including pronouncing inspired blessings in times when hopes and dreams Those blessings bless both those served and those who are being served through the power Heavenly Father has trusted to be worthy to act in His name “Such serious expectations require serious preparation.” “Serious expectations require serious preparation.” “[Priesthood holders] will find themselves in consequential times and places where their presence and prayers and the powers of the priesthood of God they hold will profoundly matter.” “The Aaronic Priesthood is called the preparatory priesthood partly because its ordinances allow them to experience the weight and joy of being on the Lord’s errand preparing them for future priesthood service.” Read President Lund’s previous general conference address, or follow him on Facebook and Instagram Metrics details Radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer relies on computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for segmentation of target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) Manual segmentation of these volumes is regarded as the gold standard for ground truth in machine learning applications but to acquire such data is tedious and time-consuming A publicly available clinical dataset is presented comprising MRI- and synthetic CT (sCT) images and radiotherapy dose distributions for 432 prostate cancer patients treated with MRI-guided radiotherapy An extended dataset with 35 patients is also included with the addition of deep learning (DL)-generated segmentations and DL segmentations manually adjusted by four radiation oncologists The publication of these resources aims to aid research in automated radiotherapy treatment planning The dataset is hosted on the AIDA Data Hub and offers a free-to-use resource for the scientific community valuable for the advancement of medical imaging and prostate cancer radiotherapy research and requires precise diagnostic and treatment strategies Prostate cancer can be treated with surgery The radiotherapy treatment planning process includes several steps and many steps can be considered labor intensive is used to define the treatment planning geometry and patient positioning during treatment These 3D images are annotated through segmentation where the target of the radiotherapy is referred to as the clinical target volume (CTV) and is manually defined by radiation oncologists Segmentation of organs-at-risk (OARs) is needed in the treatment planning process to allow for sparing of radiation dose to healthy tissues A treatment plan is subsequently created and optimized using established clinical dose-volume criteria for the targets and the OARs This treatment plan will determine how the linear accelerator should deliver the radiotherapy treatment to the specific patient prostate cancer patients undergo imaging and treatment planning often referred to as fiducial or implanted markers These serve as reference points for image registration patient positioning before treatment delivery It is important that the prescribed radiation dose is accurately delivered to the target volume as specified in the treatment plan The fiducial markers are used as a proxy for the location of the prostate and are imaged with the built-in X-ray acquisition hardware on the linear accelerator each patient had three gold fiducial markers inserted into the prostate measuring 5 mm in length and 1 mm in diameter It can therefore be beneficial to use MR images alone for treatment planning MRI cannot be used directly for dose calculation and must therefore be converted to synthetic CT (sCT) images This is referred to as an MRI-only workflow or MRI-guided treatment planning this solution has been used routinely in clinical practice to treat prostate cancer with ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy at Skåne University Hospital and in 2023 the routine was clinically implemented for treatment of brain gliomas but the clinical implications for end users remain unclear and clinical segmentations for 48 patients The dataset did not include any MR images and the small size of the dataset might limit the use of the dataset for DL model development there currently does not exist any publicly available datasets that include medical images and dose distributions alongside multi-observer segmentation there are no public datasets offering DL segmentation uncertainty information in addition to showcasing the impact on organ segmentation when DL uncertainty information is available to the radiation oncologists and provide a publicly available radiotherapy dataset consisting of MR images The base part of the dataset consists of clinical data from 432 MRI-only radiotherapy prostate cancer patients an extended cohort of 35 patients is also included with DL-based segmentations of the prostate and rectum together with associated DL uncertainty calculations in addition to the same features as the base cohort manually edited segmentations of these organs are included where the DL uncertainty both have and have not been presented to the four involved oncologists This data thereby constitutes a complete radiotherapy dataset that can be used by the community for a multitude of different objectives and tasks including development of novel DL models and advancing prostate cancer radiotherapy research A hierarchical overview of the dataset and its content for base part (n = 432 The content in the base part was included in the extended part for each patient All patients in the dataset were prescribed a radiotherapy fractionation scheme of 42.7 Gy in seven treatment fractions for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer according to the Swedish national guideline targeting the prostate gland only and excluding seminal vesicles Radiotherapy planning was performed with the treatment planning system Eclipse (version 15.6 USA) using 6 MV or 10 MV flattening filter free (FFF) delivery Treatment was delivered using single or dual volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique on Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators (Varian Medical Systems) Ethical approval for this study was provided by the regional ethics review board in Lund which enabled the waiver of consent for retrospective collection of clinical data In an amendment to this ethics application sent to the national ethics review authority it was requested to share anonymized clinical image data of the pelvic region As the data of interest was fully anonymized the ethics review authority replied that sharing anonymous personal data was not subject to the Swedish Ethics Review Act an additional amendment application was not required for this purpose according to the national ethics review authority The T2w image volume comprised a large field-of-view (FOV) of 44.8–48 cm and was acquired in the transverse plane to encompass the whole pelvic contour MRI T2w data was acquired with a 2-dimensional (2D) based fast spin echo acquisition with an in-plane resolution between 0.6 × 0.7 to 0.8 × 0.9 mm and a slice thickness of 2.5 mm The output reconstructed in-plane voxel size in the dataset is slightly smaller than the MRI acquisition voxel size due to up sampling of the image matrix in the MRI reconstruction software Further details are provided in the section Data Records Some of the sCTs in the dataset contain a warning text message that was inserted onto the image stating “Synthetic CT This was initially included to avoid misuse of sCT as an ordinary CT for radiology diagnostic tasks The sCT voxel size was thereby not the same as the MRI data voxel size of the sCT has therefore been provided to match the MRI voxel size and geometry A high-density sphere with 2.5 mm radius was thereafter created at each center-of-mass point in the sCT image by the MriPlanner software Spatial locations for these fiducials are also available in this dataset as DICOM coordinate points in the MRI geometry space the fiducial marker location is provided in the dataset as a binary segmentation mask in the MRI geometry where each fiducial center-of-mass defines the center of a spherical object with 3 mm radius This segmentation mask thereby defines three spherical objects Please observe that these spherical objects are not the same size as the high-density spherical objects created in the sCT Provided segmentations for the radiotherapy treatment plan were approved in the clinical review process and the plan was thereafter used for the delivery of the treatment All target and OAR segmentations in the dataset were also resampled to the MRI volume geometry as the sCT and the MR image volume did not have the same matrix or voxel size This ensured accurate alignment and consistency for further use of the dataset image and segmentation data The dose distribution from the optimized treatment plan was calculated with the Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA algorithm version 15.6) using the treatment planning system Eclipse the dose distribution is included with the original dose voxel size of 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.5 mm or 1x1x0.83 mm in a separate file Dose distributions were also interpolated and resampled to the same voxel size as the sCT This was performed to provide a voxel-to-voxel oriented pair of sCT and dose data in the dataset the dose distribution was also interpolated and resampled using the same settings as above to the MRI geometry All dose distributions in the dataset were rescaled to the unit Gray (Gy) using the Dose Grid Scaling DICOM attribute The extended part of the dataset contains patient data with the same type of data as the base part but extended to include additional features: DL generated segmentations and DL segmentations reviewed and adjusted by four radiation oncologists This data has been generated and utilized in another study investigating DL segmentation uncertainty The following section will describe the methodology used to generate these extended features Model training data utilized the 432 patients in the base dataset employing a 10-fold cross validation (CV) approach instead of the default nnUNet 5-fold CV nnUNet relies on model ensemble and calculates the average predictions from all trained folds to produce the final segmentation This approach leverages the variability between models trained on different data splits improving robustness and accuracy by combining their outputs The average validation Dice score of the prostate CTV and the rectum models was 0.89–0.90 (n = 10 CV-folds) and 0.86–0.89 (n = 10 CV-folds) The validation Dice score range on patient level over all folds were 0.68–0.96 for prostate CTV and 0.63–0.95 for rectum The extended part of the dataset was used for DL model inference and served as an independent test dataset To estimate the DL uncertainty for the prostate CTV and rectum model the SoftMax values (ranging from 0 to 1) by each of the ten CV-models after inference were stored the SoftMax standard deviation was calculated voxel-wise for each patient within the prostate CTV and rectum regions The extended dataset includes the final DL segmentation generated by the model ensemble for each patient as well as the individual segmentation produced by each of the ten CV model folds and the calculated uncertainty map This comprehensive inclusion enables for detailed analyses of both the segmentation performance and the associated uncertainty The uncertainty study was designed to evaluate the impact of uncertainty in DL generated segmentations of the prostate CTV and rectum on oncologists Step 1: Four oncologists were tasked with editing the DL generated segmentations without access to segmentation uncertainty information the same oncologists repeated the same task as in step 1 this time with the uncertainty information presented as an image color overlay (heatmap) Edited DL segmentations for prostate CTV and rectum from both steps are available for all four oncologists in the extended part of the dataset in which the relative location of the data within the dataset is specified Not all patients in the dataset had a complete set of radiotherapy segmentations, as defined in Supplementary Table S1 In the base part of the dataset with 432 patients 29 patients did not have the penile bulb segmented and 24 patients did not have the genitalia segmented A file called missingStructures_basePart.json in the dataset defines this missing data one patient had a missing PenileBulb segmentation defined in the dataset by the file missingStructures_extendedPart.json From a clinical radiotherapy planning perspective it is desirable that each segmentation should be defined in every image slice of the encompassing organ volume a data quality assurance step for this purpose was implemented by analyzing whether any segmentations contained empty slices utilizing a 26-connected component analysis Segmentations deviating from this standard such as those with slice gaps in the segmentation were identified and added to the files StructuresMoreThan1ConComp_basePart.txt and StructuresMoreThan1ConComp_extendedPart.txt for the base and extended part of the dataset when using segmentation data for ML training and evaluation 21 segmentations in the dataset were identified as having one or several missing slices in the encompassing organ volume The MR images from the oldAcq and newAct acquisition protocols had slightly different reconstructed voxel resolution where the oldAcq had a voxel resolution of 0.4375x0.4375x2.5 mm and the newAct acquisition protocol had 0.4688x0.4688x2.5 mm Deviations from the above were observed and we therefore recorded the matrix and voxel size for sCT and MRI for each patient in the files patGeometryInformation_basePart.csv and patGeometryInformation_extendedPart.csv These files also contain the matrix size and voxel size for the original dose distribution file To facilitate a voxel-to-voxel correspondence between the sCT and MR images a registration and resampling of the sCT to the MRI geometry was performed for each patient and saved under the file name image_reg2MRI.nii.gz For the 35 patients in the extended part of the dataset which were also used in the mentioned uncertainty study the nnUNet segmentations and uncertainty maps are provided in the folder “nnUNet” accompanied by the individual segmentations for each CV-fold in the subfolder “folds” The edited DL segmentation in Step 1 and Step 2 is saved in the folder “observerData” where the file prefix also defines the oncologist who performed the adjustment of the DL segmentation The four oncologists are referred to as obsB Prostate segmentations.

This is the highest honor bestowed by UAB’s academic health center on a faculty member who has advanced the frontiers of science and made outstanding contributions to education Lund will deliver her Distinguished Faculty Lecture on March 18 at the Alumni House “She is an internationally recognized scientist whose outstanding research accomplishments have been central to our understanding of how adaptive immunity works,” said Anupam Agarwal senior vice president for Medicine and dean of the Heersink School of Medicine Lund is also an accomplished scientific leader the department climbed from #33 in NIH rankings to #8 in the country,” they wrote UAB’s tradition of collaborative science was one of the main attractions when Lund and her scientific partner and husband came to Birmingham in 2012 from the University of Rochester and now as director of the Immunology Institute Lund says she has been able to “help other people do science The UAB HSOM Immunology Institute is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary hub for faculty health policy experts and educators to advance the study of immunology and improve human health through immune-based therapies it includes more than 350 members in seven UAB schools and 51 divisions and departments Lund is quick to point out that her work represents a team effort, starting with her scientific partner and husband, Troy Randall, Ph.D., professor and Meyer Foundation William J. Koopman, M.D., Endowed Chair in Immunology and Rheumatology in the UAB Department of Medicine The two met on their first day of graduate school at Duke University trained in the same lab and have worked out of a joint lab throughout their faculty careers “I really consider what we do team science,” Lund said it will be the story of what these two labs have done over the past 30 years.” Immunology is so complex and multifaceted that research progress always depends on collaborations UAB’s tradition of collaborative science was one of the main attractions when Lund and Randall came to Birmingham in 2012 from the University of Rochester “If you are at a major clinical center like UAB getting patient samples for multiple sclerosis “But finding age- and sex-matched controls for those patient samples is much more difficult.” More than 850 people at UAB have joined the cohort which will soon expand its recruitment outside the campus on its way to a goal of 5,000 participants Researchers who want to examine the immunological differences in blood samples between patients with an autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis and healthy people of the same age and sex can get those samples through the Immunology Institute in a streamlined process More than 850 people at UAB have joined the Immunology Institute's Healthy Donor Cohort Participants in the Healthy Donor Cohort also have the option to agree to be contacted about other studies where they might be a good match “That has turned out to be really helpful,” Lund said “I was working on a study on flu vaccination and I needed people in specific age ranges up to 90 years old It would have taken me months to recruit participants by putting out flyers around campus I had my entire study enrolled within hours.” Almost every basic scientist has the desire to see their work move from lab dishes and animal models into human studies “But the activation energy to do it is big,” Lund said “We want to make that as simple as possible; we help with the IRB and we help people isolate and interrogate primary human immune cells — whatever shortcuts we can create to make that translational work happen.” One of the great things about immunology “is that it is truly a system,” Lund said pulmonary specialists and many more experts looking at the role of the immune system in health and disease.” This is exactly the sort of atmosphere that Lund finds fits her best “I find it exhilarating to engage with scientists who tackle similar questions but bring diverse approaches and mindsets to the table,” she said Work in the Lund-Randall Lab is following three general lines The first focuses on memory in the immune system “and understanding what is important for the development and maintenance of those cells,” she said A normal B cell has a lifespan of three weeks those are the cells that you are trying to generate,” Lund said They are also one of the cells responsible for damage in the context of autoimmunity “I find it exhilarating to engage with scientists who tackle similar questions but bring diverse approaches and mindsets to the table,” Lund said The second area of interest for the lab is how inflammation “can change how easily they become antibody-secreting cells” and more “What are the cytokines that do the programming and particularly “how to get one that will cover the respiratory tract,” Lund said The mucosal immune response in the nose and lungs is very different from the systemic response in the rest of the body you get a systemic response that is good.” But the memory B and T cells which will respond when the body meets the real virus you have vaccinated against and it will take a couple of days for them to react An intranasal vaccine that promotes resident memory cells in the respiratory tract “We are working mostly now in flu vaccines and deliver them in different sites” using many different platforms including the RNA-based vaccines that proved successful during COVID along with adenovirus- and RSV-based vaccines “We are interested mechanistically in why they work or not and that comes down to spatial biology,” Lund said equipment has become available to allow researchers to zoom in on the interactions between individual cells in the context of their native three-dimensional environments Spatial transcriptomics lets scientists see what genes a cell expresses in response to cytokines and other signals from surrounding cells Spatial proteomics allows them to analyze what proteins are being made and what is it seeing in its neighborhood?” Lund said These environmental factors could offer a way to improve beneficial immune responses far more precisely than current treatments That is one of those big questions that attracts Lund “I have kept a love of the same cell type over the past 30 years but I have also done lots of different things,” Lund said “I like that about science; you can be very curious and have the ability to ask very wide-ranging questions.” passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday to William and Clara (VanSickle) Lund in Alexandria He graduated from Brandon High School in 1955 Dennis grew up attending the

something she’s never done before in her legal career.  I’m excited to work in the county where I live so I’m looking forward to serving those folks it’s what my days have been like for a long time.” The 19th Judicial District Chancery Court covers both Montgomery and Robertson counties so Judge Lund took the oath of office twice “We had the first one on September 13 in Robertson County and Judge [William] Goodman did that swearing in for me,” she said we went to Montgomery County and Judge Goodman did that one as well I’ve practiced in his court since he took the bench He’s a great mentor and an excellent friend Judge Lund heard her first cases just four days later.  “I’m just ready to get going and see what this new adventure looks like,” she said It's an adventure she’s wanted for a long time.  “I never had any wavering on what I wanted to do all the way through school,” said Judge Lund “I just always knew I wanted to be a lawyer and She also credits a popular 1980’s mystery legal

it’s better than anything we could’ve written,” he said “He comes with all this baseball lore and all these quotes and memories and he brings that into the performance in this film.” and a sense of timelessness permeates the film “I think this film’s so much about the importance of being present in the world .. among the communities that we value and doing the things we love,” said Lund “I think if this film were set in the modern day Lund sees baseball as a useful framing mechanism better suited to telling a story than other “Up until very recently it had no clock attached to it which is an attempt to speed up the game and make it fit modern attention spans there comes some losses in terms of the poetry of the game “It’s a game that links us to American history “There’s this sort of time warp that happens with the game of baseball relative to other sports .. that makes it very unique and makes it a really fascinating space for reflection and for character and for drama.” Your

receiving that overwhelming assignment President Lund said President Nelson went on to reiterate many of the key points from his 2018 message including the fact that this generation was reserved to come forth at this crucial time blessed with unique gifts and talents to gather Israel before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ “You are among the best the Lord has ever sent to this world,” President Nelson said in 2018 “You have the capacity to be smarter and wiser and have more impact on the world than any previous generation.” President Nelson’s talk provides detailed guidance for Latter-day Saint youth about their divine identity and their purpose on earth devotional at the Provo Missionary Training Center in Provo The Young Men General President encouraged missionaries to study President Nelson’s “Hope of Israel” talk often and keep a copy with their patriarchal blessing “He tells you who you are and why you are here I hope you will respond in every way possible to that divine identity as children of God.” President Lund was accompanied by his wife For those who might think President Nelson was exaggerating or speaking flattering words about the rising generation, President Lund cited research by Kenda Creasy Dean a Princeton University professor and an ordained Methodist minister who studied the religious practices of teenagers in the United States Dean wrote that Latter-day Saint youth are the “spiritual athletes” of their generation because of their sacrifice along with a high level of devotion and commitment to their faith plan activities and demonstrate the highest degree of religious vitality salience and understanding of Church teachings and it is the kind of faith that moves mountains,” he said have come into this earth and into this gospel with an intensity rarely seen.” President Lund repeated President Nelson’s words about the gathering of Israel being the most important work taking place in the world today Absolutely nothing,” President Nelson said “This gathering should mean everything to you This is the mission for which you were sent to earth.” President Lund has witnessed the gathering in his various Church assignments around the world from Pakistan to Mongolia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in all locations missionaries are serving today “These miracles are happening here and everywhere,” he said Learning to be a valiant missionary in the Lord’s youth battalion may initially seem daunting President Lund related his wife’s diligent efforts to learn to play the organ but the piano is to the organ what a bicycle is to flying a helicopter,” he said with determination and consistent practice Sister Lund has achieved a kind of “virtuosity” with the organ “Here is my promise: This is going to happen to you,” President Lund said ‘Look unto Christ’ in all things; doubt not; fear not In days ahead you will find yourself in places the Lord and your offerings will light fires of conviction that will amaze you and change you.” President and Sister Lund served as mission leaders of the Georgia Atlanta Mission from 2003 to 2006 Drawing upon scriptural insights from the New Testament story of Peter walking on water gives us power to do impossible things like walking on water and talking to strangers about the gospel when we feel like that is the scariest thing in the world,” she said we must remember that He knows who we really are and what we are capable of.” missionaries spoke of their learnings from listening to President Lund preparing to serve in the Honduras Comayagüela Mission filled pages of notes during the devotional “I love how he told us that we have the capacity to become the generation that can have the greatest impact on the people that we’re going to serve That was just so powerful to me,” she said “It was the motivation that I needed to get through today.” preparing to serve in the Thailand Bangkok East Mission appreciated the personal insights President Lund shared about President Nelson Being part of the Lord’s youth battalion and gathering Israel is something he has heard often in recent years “It’s nice to be reminded because sometimes I forget this is a very unique generation and work,” he said preparing to serve in the Honduras Tegucigalpa Mission was a bit overwhelmed by President Lund’s remarks but also found hope in knowing it is part of the Lord’s plan “I am going to do my best to fulfill those desires of our Heavenly Father,” he said is preparing to serve in the Guyana Georgetown Mission She was inspired by insights shared about

And that's kind of where it all started I started as a full-time analyst in Raymond James' technology and communications group I was always a team sports guy growing up: I played football in college There was a really consistent feel and messaging of the type of people here the posture of how they want to do business and build teams — extremely collaborative and collegial They put a lot of thought into how they built the business to incentivize collaboration and teamwork What does a typical morning look like inside the Lund household I'm usually greeted by my 6-year-old daughter at about 6:30 in the morning I'm a protein bar guy — they're easy and efficient — and I have some espresso I look at my calendar to make sure I know exactly what the day looks like and what I need to prepare for — assuming it's something that I haven't already been preparing for multiple days I start my mornings by triaging emails and reviewing my calendar I try not to schedule any meetings before at least 9 o'clock There's quite a bit of internal and admin work that we do including personnel factors that take up a lot of time We're meeting with the staffers to make sure our team is not overworked or underworked I spend a good chunk of my time meeting with clients and private equity sponsors specific companies — a broad swath of topics Tell us about the tech and software team at Houlihan The team is global and primarily split between the US and Europe but I'll just call it 150 to 160 people at any given time throughout the past 12 months but we've got a fairly sizable office in San Francisco as well as some bankers like myself that are in neither although I tend to be on the road more or in Tampa where I live Europe has the balance of our team outside the US Having bankers live in geographies where there's a concentration of activity or where their focus is key and we're human beings who communicate non-verbally in a significant number of ways Walk us through the vision you have for the team and its growth We could easily double the size of our team and commensurately double or more of its revenues More of that growth is likely to come from the US than Europe just because the US is a much bigger market and there's a lot of room to capture market share Last year we hired five MDs on the technology team We've not yet formalized our hiring plans for the coming year but we are actively looking to hire additional senior folks — whether that's one Whether in the office or working from home My home office is the one that I put the most effort into I've got a Florida Gators helmet — I grew up a big fan of the Gators and I'm excited because my son's going there — signed by Tim Tebow and Steve Spurrier My wife and my oldest son both went to Florida State So offsetting that helmet is a signed Florida State helmet and a ball from a game I've got a bunch of my favorite deal trophies in the cabinet which is fun to reminisce on the challenging but fun transactions And many of those — I still stay in touch with the CEO or business owner who have become friends of mine Most important are the pictures of my family behind me I can always glance over and see my beautiful family Must-have snack when the mid-afternoon work munchies set in It's been like this for at least the last 10 years ever travel with a backpack that doesn't have at least a couple snacks in it You never know when you're going to miss a meal I've got lots of protein bars and cashews and things like that butter popcorn — not movie theater style; it's too salty — or it could be a KIND Bar What helps you manage stress and decompress after a long day or during a deal My philosophy in life is that every day is a privilege when something's not going right in a deal I can pretty easily reflect and be like: "I know this is really important in the moment but this isn't actually what's most important in life." I get stressed during the heat of the moment I like to go for long walks outside; fresh air has a way of clearing the mind Is there anything you obsess over outside of work My wife and I are big Napa fans — Napa is where my heart lives — but I also am a big fan of Bordeaux and Burgundies You have to think about which wines are ready to drink Sometimes it's a 15- or 20-minute journey to decide what to open and why I tell her the story of where I got the bottle I always ask my wife: "What would you like to open tonight?"

Published 5:15 pm Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Ryan Lund has come from strong hockey roots in Warroad and he has brought a winning attitude to the Austin Bruins. Rocky Hulne/sports@austindailyherald.com Austin Bruins defenseman Ryan Lund has grown up on hockey in Warroad, Minn. Rocky Hulne/sports@austindailyherald.com Austin Bruins defenseman Ryan Lund grew up in a place dubbed Hockeytown, USA and in his first season in Austin, the game he loves is already taking him places. Lund, a 6-foot, 4-inch, 205-pound player from Warroad, Minn., broke through as a Top Prospect selection recently and Austin head coach Steve Howard thinks it won’t be the last honor for Lund. Lund has fit in well with the Bruins, who like Warroad, have been a consistent winner on the ice. “It’s super nice to go from a winning high school hockey program to a winning team here in Austin,” Lund said. “We’ve got a great group of guys here.” Warroad is 443 miles north of Austin and the town of 1,959 people that lies just miles from the Canadian border is famous for its success as a boys hockey program. Often playing against bigger schools, the Warriors have played in 21 overall state tournaments, 10 state finals and won four state titles, with the last championship coming in 2005. Warroad offers free ice time for players of all ages throughout the winter, which means that younger players and older players often share the ice together. “I played there my whole life and I wouldn’t have done it any differently. For me, growing up in Warroad meant going to the rink every day and everything revolved around hockey,” Lund said.  Lund, who also played football, baseball and lacrosse at Warroad, said about 13 of the 90 students in his grade were boys hockey players and they all grew up on the ice together. Warroad has produced five NHL players – including T.J. Oshie of the Washington Capitals and Brock Nelson of the New York Islanders. Warroad has also produced 80 Division I college hockey players. “You just try to master your own craft and be your own player. Looking up to those guys is a great way to become a better hockey player,” Lund said. “A lot of those guys visit for celebrity golf tournaments so we get to see a lot of NHL guys in the summer. That’s a lot of fun.” Lund has played in 46 games this season for the Bruins and he’s compiled four goals and 15 assists. Howard said that Lund was used to playing 20 minutes per game in high school and the Bruins have had to pull back his shifts to 45 seconds to keep him fresh. “He’s a new guy this year, but you wouldn’t guess that he’s a new guy,” Howard said. “He plays veteran minutes and he’s an all situations guy. He’s got the size, the skill and he’s got everything he needed to succeed at the level. He just had to get the reps.” While Lund’s parents have to watch most of his games online, he does have family in Rochester and he does like the small town atmosphere of Austin. “Living up there and not being in a huge town is kind of like playing here,” Lund said. “You see a lot of familiar faces around town.” Howard has learned a little about Warroad from Lund and his Lund’s dad, Tom, who played at St. Cloud State University. Bringing in the tradition of Warroad is one of many examples of how the players bring their background to the NAHL for the betterment of the league. The Bruins are currently tied for second place in the NAHL Central Division with the Minot Minotauros at 71 points, while the Bismarck Bobcats lead  the division with 72 points. Austin will play at Bismarck Friday and Saturday and its next home game is against the Aberdeen Wings at 7:05 p.m. on March 14.

For the last eight years he’s played recreationally in the Soldiers, a team that’s part of the Pacific Coast Baseball League Some of his longtime Soldiers teammates were aware he was making a baseball movie and they all attended the AFI Fest screening of “Eephus” in Hollywood in October “There’s no competition in this league,” Lund notes but the meditative qualities of baseball really started to stand out to me The screenplay for “Eephus” emerged from the collaboration with childhood friend Michael Basta part of the independent film collective Omnes Films with Lund with whom Lund first became acquainted while attending screenings at the Harvard Film Archive The writing started over Zoom at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with them asking each other what they would want to see in a baseball game a visual map of the fictional game that would unfold throughout the film trivial parts of baseball and I had the off-the-field stuff,” says Basta via Zoom “It was a funny mix of different baseball minds.” The trio first figured out what happened inning by inning the process entailed discussing when and how to spend time with each of the characters without prioritizing one over another “It was about negotiating the push-pull between speed and stasis,” says Lund These long periods of nothing happening and then bursts of action I wanted to tease out those passages of nothingness and show that there’s actually a lot happening.” Fisher agreed to participate as long as he could cast himself playing a character based on his all-time favorite player a prodigious pitcher known for his deadpan sense of humor and idiosyncratic personality Greinke still occasionally throws the archaic “eephus” pitch that lends the movie its title “We needed a guy to sit on the sideline and explain the whole theme of the movie in three minutes or less,” Fisher says during a video interview “I gave that to myself because it’s really easy to act when you write your own lines Merritt — who wears the number 21 like Greinke did when he played for Fisher’s beloved team the eephus is “a type of curve ball that is pitched so unnaturally slow that it confuses the batter … makes him lose track of time.” Notable among the many cast members is the voice of legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman (“Titicut Follies,” “Central Park”) as a radio announcer Lund intended to have him play an on-camera role but Wiseman’s advanced age — he is 95 — complicated his involvement Lund would love to see the veteran nonfiction storyteller make one of his acclaimed observational works about baseball “It wasn’t just that I liked his voice,” Lund says about reaching out to Wiseman I was telling the audience that this is more of an anthropological film than it is a traditional narrative Directed by Carson Lund in his feature debut the indie has a relaxed air and an appreciation for cherished rituals that never announce themselves too boldly Red Sox fans also will delight in a late cameo by Bill Lee, nicknamed “Spaceman,” an eccentric baseball luminary who, quite famously, also threw the eephus to catch people off guard. “Having his name attached helped us secure financing,” Lund recalls. While none of the adult characters in “Eephus” serve as direct proxies for Lund (“If I were in the film, it would be a better shortstop,” he boasts, endearingly), he did find a way to obliquely put himself in the film. Halfway through the game, a kid and his father show up to practice but discover the field is occupied. It’s a brief but personally significant moment. “It’s actually my dad playing the dad and the kid is wearing my jersey of the New Hampshire Grizzlies from when I was in my traveling league,” Lund recalls, smiling. His proud father attended the film’s premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Baseball, now filtered through filmmaking, seems to function for Lund as an unspoken gesture of genuine love. What could be more precious than time shared on a field? He bleeds Red Sox blood, so you won’t catch him cheering for the Dodgers any time soon, but L.A. has grown on him nonetheless. “At Dodger Stadium you can watch the sunset over the mountains,” he says, painting a scene. “It’s a beautiful experience.” Hollywood Inc.
