Nicholas (Nick) Davis Lamborn, 14, died Feb 26, 1998 of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Nick was a Teacher in the Honeyville 2nd Ward. He was currently attending 9th grade at Box Elder Middle School. Nick loved machines and spent many happy hours working on and driving his 1967 Dodge truck, radio controlled truck and boat, the old family boat and even the lawn mower. He also was an avid snow boarder, soccer player and water-skier, taking every opportunity possible to pursue whichever happened to be in season. Quiet reserved and kind by nature, Nick enjoyed a large circle of friends. To go visit his friends and bowl, play Nintendo, ride motorcycles, or even do homework made him very happy. Nick had a very special relationship with his family. He and his older brother Ryan were good friends and would spend many hours late at night talking. Ryan was Nick's mentor and guide in many things and even though they didn't agree on everything there were few, if any, cross words spoken between them. The apple of Nick's eye was his baby brother, Wilson (Gus, as Nick called him). He spent a lot of time tending, playing, teaching and trailering Gus around town behind his mountain bike. His relationship with his parents was also one to be envied. He willingly helped his mom do whatever she asked. He was a good cook and would cook dinner whenever his mom asked and even though he didn't like doing dishes he would do them and never complain. Nick also was a great hand for his dad. He would go get spring water a couple of times a week and would even ask to go work at the family's apartments.Surviving are his parents, Vance and Laurel; two brothers, Ryan and Wilson Lamborn, all of Honeyville, Utah; his grandparents: Reuel and Alice Lamborn, Logan, Utah; Jack and Janice Davis, Huntsville, Utah.
Funeral services Tuesday, March 3, 1998 at 1 p.m. at the Honeyville 2nd Ward Chapel with Bishop Scott Webre officiating. Friends may call Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Myers Mortuary, 205 So. 100 E., Brigham City and on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the church. Interment will be in the Honeyville Cemetery.
The finish was excruciating and brought an end to Stanford's remarkable season. But Arthur Lee couldn't help breaking into a slight smile.
"We've already started thinking about next year," Stanford's star point guard said after the Cardinal, in the Final Four for the first time in 56 years, saw their NCAA tournament run stopped by Kentucky 86-85 in overtime Saturday."We've accomplished so much this year," said Lee, whose clutch tournament performances moved him out from under predecessor Brevin Knight's shadow. "We had 30 wins, a school record. We made it to the Final Four, almost made it to the national championship game. A lot of teams never get an opportunity to do this. Guys aren't down. We've enjoyed this. We've had fun."
Lee, who scored 52 points in his last two outings and went 35-for-35 from the free throw line during Stanford's five-game NCAA tournament run, has good reason for looking forward to next season.
The starting five of Lee, Kris Weems, Mark Madsen, Peter Sauer and Tim Young all will be back next season for Stanford (30-5), which began the year with 18 straight wins before being beaten by Arizona.
Young, Madsen and Sauer were part of the tallest frontline in Stanford's history and complemented the team's dynamic backcourt.
"I think if you look at us, we've progressed quite a bit and I think we've been pretty solid all year," said swingman Ryan Mendez. "We had our downspells against Arizona - we lost to them twice - but we bounced back from that and gave it our best run in the tournament.
"There's great possibilities for next year," Mendez said. "No question, we could be good enough next year, if we continue to work hard and improve ourselves, to come back to this level and win a few games."
Coach Mike Montgomery said he wouldn't dwell on how the season ended or agonize over whether his team could have done anything differently against Kentucky. In his mind, the Cardinal went head-to-head against one of the most storied programs in college basketball and competed on even terms.
"They're mortal," Montgomery said. "They're like us. They're a good basketball team but you can compete with them and that's good news for us. It's also a tribute to Tubby (Smith) for the great job he did to get them to the national championship game."
Montgomery said he'd rather reflect on Stanford's achievements and what they mean, in terms of bringing notice to the program to help recruiting as well as gearing up to meet the rising expectations for next season.
"We know we're a team that's going to be a focal point next year and that's great, because we earned it," Montgomery said. "And we will be a better basketball team next year. But that doesn't guarantee anything. It gives you an opportunity. What you do with the opportunity is the thing."
All things considered, this season in which Stanford set or tied 12 school records including most wins and most points was "really, pretty spectacular," Montgomery said.
"I don't have any remorse. I don't have any regrets," Montgomery added. "I'm not walking away from this with a pit in my stomach, feeling, `I should have done this, I could have done,' and I don't think the players are either. If you can't have a sense of satisfaction under these circumstances, you're going to have a tough time with everything."
Stanford will lose backup forward Pete Van Elswyk and reserve guard Kamba Tshionyi to graduation and Montgomery's top assistant, Doug Oliver, also is leaving to take the head coaching job at Idaho State.
Montgomery said that he and most of the team would remain in San Antonio to attend Monday night's national title game between Kentucky and Utah before going back home.
BANGALORE, India  Seven synchronized small bombs shook India's high-tech hub Friday, killing two people and wounding at least five others, officials said.
Bangalore Police Commissioner Shankar Bidri said the seven blasts went off within several minutes of each other at different spots across the city. One woman was killed in an explosion at a bus stop in the city's Madiwala neighborhood, he said.
Bidri said each of the small bombs contained the amount of explosives equal to "one or two grenades" and appeared to have been set off by timers.
He blamed the attack on people intent on "disturbing the peace and tranquility of Bangalore city" and called on residents to remain calm.
"Such incidents will not deter the government from pursuing its policy of dealing with terrorists in a resolute manner," Patil said.
Television footage showed bomb squads scouring the areas with sniffer dogs. Some of the sites were covered with shattered glass.
Several Indian cities have been hit by multiple blasts in recent months in attacks that have been blamed on Islamic militants.
Bangalore, which is home to several of India's leading outsourcing companies, has not been the scene of bombings in recent years, though a gunman from an Islamic group opened fire at a prestigious science institute in the city in late 2005, killing a retired professor.
What to watch for: The rolling course will likely feature a sprint finish after a downhill approach to Nephi out of the Sanpete Valley. Sprinters will be eyeing this stage for points in the chase for the green jersey of the top sprinter. With four more days of racing to go, itis unlikely any serious contenders will shoot for a breakaway win, but there will undoubtedly be a few climbers hoping to put a gap on the pack during the first climb out of Nephi and into Fountain Green.
What to watch for: Starting in downtown Ogden and climbing through Ogden Canyon before passing Snowbasin and eventually Morgan before finishing with a climb over Big Mountain and a lightning fast descent through Emigration Canyon. The stage wraps up at Reasearch Park at the University of Utah and has king of the mountain points, sprint points and a big chase before another finishing sprint. But the mountains will certainly break up the field with the dropped riders trying to catch back on to the peloton in the canyon.
What to watch for: If there is only one day you can come out to watch the action, this is it. With more than 100 cyclists navigating a two-block section of town passing Pioneer Park, the pace will be fast and the racing furious. There will likely be a crash or two on one of the four corners of the race. Criteriums are often described as NASCAR on two wheels with cyclists bumping each other, drafting to conserve energy and battling it out for a sprint finish. After 90 minutes of attacks, counter attacks and wearing each other out, officials will let riders know they have three laps to go  then the gamesmanship will really begin.
What to watch for: Expect to see pain, and lots of it. With a relatively benign start from Park City to Kamas and then into Midway, the punishment begins after 50 miles. Climbing the rugged Alpine Loop and then descending into American Fork, cyclists will be pushed the limits of endurance with more brutal climbs left. A moderate climb over South Mountain and Suncrest precede a lung-burning, quad-busting climb up Little Cottonwood Canyon to the finish line at Snowbird. Don't expect to see a massive group of riders hit the finish line, the peloton will be shattered near Sundance.
What to watch for: If there is less than a minute separating the race leaders from the contenders, expect to see some all-out efforts as cyclist dig deep to erase a few seconds of time. Without a pack to race in, time trialists are up against the clock. Riding special aerodynamic bikes, cyclists will put max effort into maintaining a constant speed with a sprint finish. The course will be a technical one, though, with lots of turns and twists around the race track built for cars. The smooth surface, however, will be a pleasure for cyclists hoping to worry only about speed and cornering.

Need a lawyer and don't know where to start? The Utah State Bar has a new service that just might help.
The bar recently launched an online search program that can help people find attorneys that fit unique needs, such as someone who speaks a language other than English or someone who is geographically close to the individual.
The service is found on the Utah State Bar Web site, titled findautahlawyer.org, or can be accessed through the overall Web address for the organization, which is utahbar.org.
The site is intended to be simple and user-friendly, and it employs four search methods: a question and answer format; a county search map; an advanced search form; and searches by ZIP code.
"The directory provides individuals in need of legal assistance a simple-to-use online listing of each participating lawyer's name, address, admission date, law school and telephone number within specific geographic areas and practice types as identified by search criteria," said Nate Alder, president of the Utah State Bar.
To date, there are 637 Utah lawyers taking part in the program and 21 languages are covered, including Tamil, Punjabi, Arabic, American Sign Language and Tagalog.
The advanced search provides information about how many years a particular attorney has been in practice, the location where that person practices and languages spoken.
Alder is especially pleased the site includes a page for "Frequently Asked Questions About Attorneys & Legal Services." It includes information about what a lawyer's duties are, things to keep in mind before hiring someone, how to anticipate and keep costs down, and what to expect from a lawyer.
Alder said in recent years, the bar has tried to find ways to help working people learn more about hiring a lawyer, which for some people might be a once in a lifetime occurrence.
"It's not like going to the doctor," Alder said. "We fully understand there are basic questions that people have, and it's not a routine process or an easy process."
Alder said most of the complaints the bar hears about are from working people who have run into difficulty accessing information, aren't sure about the process and who may have had trouble affording a lawyer.
Often, low-income people qualify for legal assistance, and big businesses frequently have directories and information networks regarding legal services, but the average person who has never hired an attorney might be at a loss if the need for legal help arises.
"We're trying to bridge that gap," Alder said. "Access to justice is an important issue for us as a legal profession, and we're hopeful this online tool will help people who need legal services find lawyers."
A displaced Iraqi Christian family who fled from the Christian village of Hamdania near Mosul province in Iraq, are seen trough a plexiglass sheet at a temporary shelter for the displaced Christian families in Ainkawa, a suburb of Irbil, with a majority Christian population, Iraq, Saturday, June 28, 2014. Around 2,000 Christians had entered the Kurdish city of Irbil by Thursday morning, June 26. A Christian official there said the Kurdish region is the only part of Iraq where Christians are protected from violence.
BAGHDAD — Iraqi troops backed by helicopter gunships launched an operation early Saturday aimed at dislodging Sunni militants from the northern city of Tikrit, one of two major urban centers they seized in recent weeks in a dramatic blitz across the country.
Tikrit residents reported clashes on the outskirts of the city and to the south, but the extent of the fighting was unclear.
Jawad al-Bolani, a security official in the Salahuddin Operation Command, said the immediate objective is Tikrit, the hometown of former dictator Saddam Hussein and one of two major cities to fall to the al-Qaida breakaway Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and allied Sunni militants. He said there was no concrete timeline for the operation to conclude.
Helicopter gunships conducted airstrikes before dawn on insurgents who were attacking troops at a university campus on Tikrit's northern outskirts, Iraqi military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said. There was no immediate word on casualties.
Government troops established a bridgehead on the sprawling campus early Friday after being ferried in by helicopter.
A senior security official said there were sporadic clashes around the University of Tikrit, as well as south of the city. Iraqi forces, which are moving north toward Tikrit from the shrine city of Samarra, are making slow progress, he said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
Tikrit residents reached by telephone confirmed that air raids took place at the university around dawn Saturday. They reported fighting between the Islamic State and Iraqi forces to the southeast as well, but said militants are still in control of the city and patrolling the streets. Some residents described black smoke rising from a presidential palace complex located along the edge of the Tigris River after army helicopters opened fire on the compound.
Another Tikrit resident, Muhanad Saif al-Din, said the city has emptied out in recent days as locals flee ahead of anticipated clashes.
"Tikrit has become a ghost town because a lot of people left over the past 72 hours, fearing random aerial bombardment and possible clashes as the army advances toward the city," Saif al-Din said. "The few people who remain are afraid of possible revenge acts by Shiite militiamen who are accompanying the army. We are peaceful civilians and we do not want to be victims of this struggle."
The military also carried out three airstrikes on the insurgent held city of Mosul early Saturday. One of the air raids hit a commercial area that did not have any obvious military target, residents said.
The Islamic State and its allies have overrun much of Iraq's Sunni heartland, a vast territory stretching west and north from Baghdad to the Jordanian and Syrian borders. After a dramatic initial push, the onslaught appears to have slowed as the militants bump up against predominantly Shiite areas stretching south from Baghdad.
Iraq's large, U.S.-trained and equipped military melted away in the face of the offensive, sapping morale and public confidence in its ability to stem the militant surge — let alone claw back lost ground. If successful, the Tikrit operation could help restore a degree of faith in the security forces.
It also would provide a boost to embattled Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who is fighting for his job as many former allies drop their support and Iraqis increasingly express doubts about his ability to unify the country. Al-Maliki, however, has shown little inclination publicly to step aside, and instead appears set on a third consecutive term as prime minister after his bloc won the most seats in April elections.
The United States and other world powers have pressed al-Maliki to reach out to the country's Sunni and Kurdish minorities and have called for a more inclusive government that can address longstanding grievances. Al-Maliki has widely been accused of monopolizing power and alienating Sunnis, who have long complained of being unfairly targeted by security forces.
Iraq is grappling with its worst crisis since the last U.S. troops withdrew in December 2011, raising the specter of the fragmentation of the country along sectarian and ethnic lines. The United States has watched the turmoil with a wary eye. Already, Washington has already deployed 180 of 300 troops promised by President Barack Obama to assist and advise Iraqi troops.
The U.S. also has started flying armed Predator drones over Baghdad to protect American interests, a Pentagon official said Friday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the new flights on the record.
More than 1,200 Chinese workers who were trapped in the embattled northern Iraqi city of Samarra have been evacuated to Baghdad, China's Xinhua state news agency said Saturday. It said the Chinese arrived safely at a Baghdad hotel, with the Iraqi military providing security.
The report said that China Machinery Engineering Corporation employed the workers at a power plant construction site in Samarra, near where security forces are battling fighters from the Islamic State.
The report didn't specify who evacuated the workers but said 45 were transported by helicopter on Wednesday, with the rest arriving in two separate groups by bus over the next two days. More than 10,000 Chinese are in Iraq, many of them employees with Chinese firms.
I originally created the checklists as a way to help me stay organized at my artist management internship. It was my first introduction to the Nashville music business and I had no idea what artist management even was when I started - so needless to say, creating checklists were a must for me to stay organized and on track with what needed to get done.

Artists tell me all the time that social media marketing feels like such a burden. I also often hear from artists that they simply have no idea how to grow a following, much less engage with said followers. Sound familiar? Well, you’re not alone!
The New Year often brings about a renewed mindset and resolutions. Which is great, right! But it’s pretty rare that anyone actually sticks to those for a whole 12 months.
When I started my artist management internship in 2011 - I knew next to nothing about the music business! But as a list maker and organizer, I quickly made multiple checklists so that I could keep up and make sure I was on track. A year later, I was hired full time at that management company because those checklists had proven to be a necessity to function! Woah. Cool.
What better way to start December than with a new Christmas album? It's been such a joy working with Katie over the past few months to prepare for this release... and I loved being part of the album artwork design and website!
I think so often we're scared of the unknown (which yes, is intimidating)... but I want you to come up with worst-case scenario fears.

You've heard me mention the Designing the Row relaunch over the past few weeks... and the day is finally here! So let's jump straight to the point - what's in it for you!?
Yesterday I had lunch with a friend and I told her about this book I recently read and how I think I might keep re-reading it because the message really motivates me to do big things in both my life and business.
I decided instead of emailing you the story behind the relaunch...that I'd record it and tell it to you myself!

It's becoming easier and easier to be able to DIY your own website these days... so last week I created a poll in the Music Biz Besties and YEP Facebook groups to see just how many people are designing their own websites vs hiring a professional. I expected to see the majority of people DIYing their site, but 91%... woah!
The devastation Hurricane Harvey has caused in southeast Texas this past week has been awful, to say the least.

I’m so guilty of answering the “hey, how are you?” question with a “I’m busy... but that’s good!” reply. Maybe this is you too?
I’ve gotta admit, when I turned over my calendar to August last week and saw how filled up it had already gotten, I had a quick moment of panic.
Social media has a way of letting people into our lives so easily (like hello, I was able to live stream my piano getting moved into our new house)… but so often we only share what I like to refer to as our “highlight reels.”
Today I'm sharing what being the wife of a cancer survivor looks like through my eyes because, well, I've never really shared my side of the story. I'm also telling this hoping that letting you in to my life past my highlight reel and sharing my lessons learned will be encouraging or inspiring to at least one person who reads this!
Bandsintown has a new Beta Manager platform... and I'm excited to show you what it can do in this video tutorial!
Khloe and I met when she was in Nashville for the Music Biz conference earlier this year. I could immediately tell she was a fun person to be around... and not only that but that she knows her stuff when it comes to the music business!
Angela has been part of the Music Biz Besties community from the beginning. Although we can't remember how we initially crossed path, I'm so glad we did. Last week Angela joined me for a Bestie Chat and shared her amazing insight on the PR side of the music industry and also on mental health... and I love her take on all of it!
Today I want to share a story with you that I've never told before. My hope is that no matter what stage of your career you're currently in, that this will encourage you to always keep the big picture in mind as you pursue your dreams. Nothing happens "overnight" -- and that's ok!
