The number of new vehicles titled in Hamilton County jumped nearly 20 percent in August over a year ago to the highest monthly level in two years.
"We had a real strong close," said Thad Narramore of Marshal Mize Ford about August sales at the Highway 153 dealership.
New car and truck registrations hit 998 in August, the highest monthly mark since the federal government's cash for clunkers program in August 2009 when local dealers sold 1,009 new cars and trucks, according to the Hamilton County Clerk's Office.
Last month, the number of new trucks titled was the best in the county since September 2008.
Don Thomas, dealer-principal at Mountain View Nissan off Market Street, said new vehicle sales climbed 30 percent in August over a year ago.
"Nissan continues to come down the pipeline with fresh and good product, and good incentives," he said.
Interest rates remain historically low, and Thomas said people are feeling better about the economy. The metro Chattanooga jobless rate in July fell to 8.7 percent. That's below the national rate of 9.1 percent.
"Chattanooga is a little honey hole," Narramore said.
While county year-to-date new vehicle sales figures are up almost 15 percent along with August figures, buying still lags pre-recession levels. For example, August's new car and truck registrations in the county are about half what they were in the same month in 2007.
Also, some people in Chattanooga on Thursday said they're not ready to buy a car, citing the jobless rate.
Amy Gowan, of Philadelphia, in Chattanooga looking for work, said she is not in the market for a car.
"If I had the money, I probably buy a used one," she said at Northgate Mall.
Larry Strickler, of Chattanooga, said he bought a car in 2010, adding he was satisfied at the time about his personal finances and the U.S. economy. He's not in the market this year, he said.
Still, car buyers nationally shrugged off bad economic news and a major East Coast hurricane, lifting U.S. sales for most automakers, figures show.
General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Nissan reported surprisingly strong sales results on Thursday, according to monthly sales reports. Toyota and Honda, however, continued to be hurt by model shortages from the March earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Both reported large sales drops.
Chrysler sales led the way in August with a 31 percent increase from a year earlier. GM's sales rose 18 percent, Nissan was up 19 percent and Ford reported an 11 percent increase. Toyota sales were off almost 13 percent, while Honda sales were down 24 percent.
Associated Press contributed to this report.
Mike Pare, the deputy Business editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, has worked at the paper for 27 years. In addition to editing, Mike also writes Business stories and covers Volkswagen, economic development and manufacturing in Chattanooga and the surrounding area. In the past he also has covered higher education.

When Super Smash Bros. on Wii U releases later this year, it'll include optional support for one of the most beloved controllers of all time. That's right, Nintendo's found a way to bring the GameCube controller to the party.
Nintendo of America tweeted the news, along with a picture of the adapter that'll make it all possible. There's no news yet as to how much it'll cost or when it'll release. We've reached out to Nintendo for more details.
A hot topic of discussion around our office is whether or not this adapter will include Wavebird support. Apparently we all like to do our smashin' from the kitchen.

SNUG: Getting "Smart" on Crime
When Malcolm Smith, president of the NY State Senate, signaled his support for a community-based violence prevention model called SNUG ("guns" spelled backwards) – based on the successful CeaseFire model out of Chicago - NYADP staff collaborated closely with the Community Coalition to Prevent Violence in Albany to insure that NYADP's identified stakeholders would play a role in shaping the program both statewide and locally.
With NYADP's support, Senator Smith succeeded in putting $4 million in the state budget to implement SNUG in eight communities across New York. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first instance of state funding for a grassroots violence prevention project that is community-led and community-based.
NYADP board member Lisa Good of Albany, whose Urban Grief project serves inner city victims of violence, has a leadership role in Albany's SNUG implementation effort. Our staff has networked with other SNUG initiatives around the state to encourage stakeholder participation and holistic approaches.
NYADP seized the opportunity to play an important role in promoting SNUG, which can only succeed if community stakeholders learn about the potential benefits and agree to pitch in. To this end, NYADP invited participants and speakers to a well-attended June 2009 forum of the Albany Coalition addressing community concerns about violence. The forum was attended by more than a dozen members of Family and Friends of Homicide Victims, NYADP's victims'/survivors' chapter.
SNUG - and other initiatives like it - must be given a chance to succeed or the state could revert to outdated crime control methodologies that are purely reactive and that fail to engage community stakeholders in neighborhoods most affected by violence. A coherent multiple-site implementation of SNUG with measurable success in achieving violence reduction goals will highlight the need to provide funding for more evidence-based violence prevention programs.


text: On February 10, 2005, at 1500 central standard time, a Cessna 172N, N2291E, operated by Park Rapids Aviation, collided with a snow bank and nosed over while landing on runway 35 (3,900 feet by 75 feet, dry asphalt) at the Grafton Municipal Airport (GAF), Grafton, North Dakota. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. The 14 CFR Part 91 flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions and no flight plan was filed. The last departure point was the Crookston Municipal Airport (CKN), Crookston, Minnesota, at 1430.The pilot reported he received a flight service station (FSS) briefing prior to departing Park Rapids, Minnesota, earlier in the day. He stated that during the flight to GAF, he encountered snow showers so he decided to land at CKN and wait for the weather to pass. The pilot stated that after 15 - 30 minutes the weather passed so he continued the flight to GAF. The pilot stated that upon arriving at GAF, he listened to the automated terminal information system (ATIS) from the Grand Forks International Airport (GFK), located 30 miles to the south. He stated the ATIS was reporting winds from 260 degrees at 16 knots. The pilot stated the windsock at GAF was indicating winds from the west. He stated the winds were "maybe favoring" runway 35, which was the runway in use. The pilot stated he made two go-arounds because after turning onto final approach the airplane was not lined up with the runway centerline. He stated that on the third landing attempt, the airplane was "just a little on the upwind side of the runway centerline." He stated that after touchdown, "the wind blew me off the side of the runway" and the airplane contacted a snow bank. The pilot reported the nose gear collapsed and the airplane nosed over.The pilot reported the local winds at GFK were from 260 degrees at 16 knots. The winds reported at the Grand Forks International Airport (GFK), Grand Forks, North Dakota, at 1453, were from 280 degrees at 15 knots.

Fire drill at the hospital
A June 20 drill gave fire and rescue workers and the hospital staff a taste of what it would be like if Stafford Hospital Center caught on fire.
The drill took place on 4W, a patient floor that's not being used at the new hospital. Fire officials worked with David Pearce, safety director at the hospital, to stage the event. About 25 fire and rescue workers took part.
The call was initially dispatched as a "fire in a commercial building." Later fire fighters learned that the hospital staff saw smoke coming from a utility closet.
"We completely filled three rooms and the hallway in the west end with smoke that was extremely thick," said Steve Weissman, deputy chief for Stafford County Fire and Rescue.
Nurses and other hospital workers evacuated four of the six mock patients from the affected areas, using a blanket, gurney and wheelchair. Fire fighters stretched hoses to the "fire" and brought fans, forcible entry tools and rescue packs. They did not use water. Normal operations at the hospital continued while the drill was under way.
All six "patients" were taken to the emergency room for evaluation. In this case, that meant that all they had to do was go downstairs.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is continuing an annual family tradition by helping to pack bags of food and distribute them to the needy on Thanksgiving eve.
Obama, his wife, Michelle, daughters Malia and Sasha and his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, on Wednesday dropped in on the Capital Area Food Bank, one of the largest serving the Washington area.
They dropped bundles of sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and apples into reusable bags people held open as they walked by. They also handed out small white boxes stamped with the presidential seal that contain M&M's candy.
Obama wished people a "Happy Thanksgiving," and Malia shook their hands.
It's the third straight Thanksgiving that Obama and his family have helped out at this particular food bank.
Obama was spending the holiday at the White House.

The Congressional Budget Office just announced President Obama's healthcare law will reduce the deficit by $84 billion more than previously thought, thanks to the Supreme Court's decision to allow states to opt out of the law's Medicaid expansion.
Those savings may sound nice. But the law doesn't do much to address our country's chief healthcare challenge — spiraling costs. Health insurance is expensive because health care is expensive.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Rain caused a hillside to give way a cemetery in Baltimore, but no graves were damaged.
Western Cemetery caretaker John Brazee says it sounded like thunder when the hillside collapsed.
The mudslide happened in an area being used to store tombstones. No bodies were buried there, and while some headstones were toppled, they were no longer being used because the bodies had been moved.
The cemetery is working to secure what remains of the hill.

Charitable Benefactions to the Parish of Washington.
The Parish of Washington is bounded by Jarrow on the North, by Monk-Wear-mouth on the East, by the river Wear dividing it from Bishop Wearmouth and from Houghton-le-Spring on the South-East and South, and by Chester-le-Street, and the Chapelry of Lamesley, on the West.
The Parish includes the Constableries of, 1. Washington, 2. Great Usworth and North Biddic, 3. Little Usworth, 4. Barmston.
A scattered village on irregular broken ground.
Under Boldon Buke, William de Hertburn held the whole Vill, except the Church and Church lands, in exchange for his vill of Hertburn, which he had released to the Bishop, by a free rent of four pounds, and by the service of attending the Bishop's great hunt with two greyhounds. When a common aid was imposed, his taxation was not to exceed one mark.
It seems probable, that either William de Hertburn, or his immediate descendants, assumed the local name, for William de Wessington occurs as a witness in Charters of Bishops Robert de Stichell, and de Insula. William de Wessyngton, Chivaler, had licence to settle the manor on himself, his wife Katharine, and his own right heirs, in 1350 (fn. 1) , and died in 1367, seized of the whole manor and vill, by the above mentioned free rent of 4l., leaving William his son and heir, who held by the same tenure under Hatfield's Survey.
Before 1400 the direct male line (fn. 2) expired in another William, whose only daughter Dionisia married Sir William Tempest of Studley, Knight. Dionisia, the elder daughter, and coheir of Sir William Tempest, intermarried with Sir William Mallory, in her right of Studley; and Elizabeth, the younger, became the wife of Richard Norton of Norton Conyers. William, son and heir of Sir William Mallory, Knight, had livery of half the manor of Washington in 1475 (fn. 3) ; and 1497, Sir William Mallory had licence to grant his moiety of the vill and manor to his son William Mallory (fn. 4) . The Mallory's afterwards acquired the whole manor. By Ind. 21 Apr. 7 Eliz. Richard Norton, Esq. conveyed all his moiety of the estate to Sir William Mallory (fn. 5) of Studley, who executed a settlement on his grandson William (son of John Mallory), and Joan, daughter of John Norton, Esq. (fn. 6) In 1590, Sir William Mallory granted three messuages in Washington to Thomas Snawsell of Bilton in the Ainsty, Esq. (fn. 7) whose son William Snawsell reconveyed, for 550l., to William Mallory, Esq. son and heir of Sir John Mallory, 30 June, 1613 (fn. 8) . On the 7th July following, Sir John Mallory and William his son and heir, granted to Thomas Caldwell and John Booth for 4000l. "all their manor of Washington, and all their rights upon the great waistes and moors of the Bishops of Durham, adjoining the said Lordship on the
North (fn. 9) ". The purchase was on trust for William James, Bishop of Durham (fn. 10) , whose reasons for settling the estate on his youngest child, Francis James (the issue of his third marriage) may be seen below (fn. 10) . After the Bishop's death (fn. 11) , Caldwell and Booth (24 Sept. 1617) conveyed the manor to Edward James, Robert Cooper (one of the late Prelate's officers), and Thomas Surtees, Esq. Trustees for Francis then under age (fn. 12) . In 1623, Francis James, Esq. settled the manor on his first marriage with Sarah, daughter of Richard Pyott of Edmonton, Merchant (fn. 13) . William James, Esq. son of Francis, died in 1662; and his only surviving son William died in the following year, leaving four sisters his coheirs, 1. Sarah, wife do Wilfrid Lawson, Esq. 2. Dorothy, to Sir Richard Musgrave, Baronet. 3. Elizabeth, who married Robert Millott of Whithill, Esq. and 4. Anne, wife to John Hedworth of Harraton, Esq. (fn. 14) In 1672, John Hedworth, Esq. and Anne his wife, granted their fourth to Dorothy James (fn. 15) , widow of William James the elder, who in 1697 (fn. 15) , devised the same share to her grandson Richard Musgrave, Baronet. Sir Richard Musgrave was seized of one other fourth in right of his wife; one moiety of the manor was thus vested in the family of Musgrave, and one fourth and two thirds of a fourth, are now held by Sir James Musgrave, Bart. of Barnsley Park, Gloucestershire; the remaining third of a fourth was devised by William Musgrave of Newcastle, Merchant, in 1716, to his widow Grace (Wheler), whose trustees conveyed to John Spearman, Esq. in 1723 (fn. 16) .
In 1697, Ralph Mylot, Esq. son and heir of Robert Mylot and of Elizabeth James, sold his fourth of the manor to John Spearman, Gent. whose son, John Spearman, purchased (as above) one third of a fourth from Musgrave. Mr. Spearman (as has been already stated under Hetton, vol. I. p. 214) was ruined by mining speculations. In 1729, John Spearman (son and heir of the last named John), and Abraham Dixon, a mortgagee, conveyed under a Decree in Chancery to John Jackson, Esq. Town Clerk of the City of London, whose only daughter and heir (and also devisee of her uncle the Rev. Walter Good-fellow,) (fn. 17) intermarried with John Shafto of Whitworth, Esq. grandfather of Robert Eden Duncombe Shafto, Esq.
Mrs. Wilfrid Lawson's share still remains in its integrity. The last Sir Wilfrid, by his will, dated May 1802, devised to Thomas Wybergh (fn. 18) (who died May 2, 1812), whose brother Wilfrid Wybergh, now Wilfrid Lawson, (and named next in remainder in the will of Sir Wilfrid Lawson,) is the present owner.
The whole manor of Washington is therefore thus divided:
Musgrave, one fourth and two thirds of a fourth: Shafto, one fourth and one third of a fourth: Lawson, one fourth. And the mines in the same proportion (fn. 19) .
In 1704, Sir Richard Musgrave and Dame Dorothy his wife, (then entitled to two fourths of the manor,) Wilfrid Lawson and Sarah his wife, entitled to one fourth, and John Spearman entitled to the remaining fourth, made a division of the estate by lot. Mem. 25 July 1704.
The North Quarter drawn by Sir R. Musgrave. The South Quarter by Sarah Lawson. The West Quarter by John Spearman. The East Quarter by Dame Dorothy Musgrave.
The moors and mines were left undivided. A further division of Washington moor took place betwixt the then proprietors, (Robert Shafto, Esq. Sir Gilfrid Lawson, Bart. and James Musgrave, LL. D.) in 1763.
The Hall, a large gavel-ended old mansion, with windows divided by stone mullions and transoms, stands a little to the South of the Church, and rests undivided amongst the three owners of the manor.
Boundary of the Manor of Washington.
"Beginning at an ancient bounder stone, being the foot of a cross, five yards West of the hedge of the West high Close, and adjoining Birtley Common, hard by Birtley Lough; thence to another bounder stone, with a cross in it, 24 score paces from the former bounder stone, on the West side of the Great Howle, near the Quakers Dam, called Washington Dam; thence to a bounder stone with a hole in it for a cross, near Shaddons hill, viz. on the N. East part thereof, near the road that leads betwixt Newbridge and Gateside-head, and 24 score paces distant from the second bounder stone. Thence Eastward through Washington Lough, to a bounder stone five yards South of Mr. Hylton's hedge on Great Usworth Common. From thence Eastward, over the sike or runner, and on the North side of a saugh tree, near an old coal pitt, West to a thorn-bush growing in the hedge of Great Usworth South field; thence to Great Usworth Street gate, twenty yards distant from the North side of the high Piper close hedge, belonging to Washington; thence Eastward, along Little Usworth Street way, at the bottom of the South field, to a bounder stone with a hole in it for a cross, fifteen yards North of the low Pipers close stile; and from thence Eastward, to Little Usworth lane, to another bounder stone, with a hole for a cross, seven yards North of Reed's field hedge, belonging to Washington; and thence to Barmeston Street Head."
The Church still retains some traces of its original architecture. The nave has two regular ailes, each formed by three columns supporting pointed arches. The pillars of the North aile are octagonal; on the South, two are octagonal, and the central pillar round. A large South porch, the burial-place of the old Lords of Washington, opens into the nave, under a pointed arch, and into the South aile, through the remains of a mullioned window (see the will of George Lawson, 1587). The ribbed or groined roof of the Vestry, or North porch, mentioned by Hutchinson, is now covered by plain ceiling. The chancel is divided from the nave by a blunt pointed arch, springing from corbells of human heads, of inferior work. The stalls and rails are removed, and the whole of the old lights are replaced by uniform modern sashes under pointed arches.
On a ridged coffin-lid in the Church-yard, (in Vincent's time,) sculptured with a sword and Cross:
Hic jacet Jacobus Sanderson.
On another stone, an effigy in the sacerdotal habit:
Hic jacet Alexander de Biddicke (fn. 20) .
Both these have long since perished; in all probability they had been removed into the burial-yard from the South Porch.
On a brass plate within the altar-rails:
Hic jacet Job'es Jackson . . . . A'no Dom. 1506.
On a wooden tablet in the South Porch:
Will. James of Washington, Esq. departed this life the 5th day of April 1662; at his death he gave to the poor of Washington forty shillings a year, for ten years.
Escutcheon of Arms. 1 and 4, Sable, a Dolphin embowed proper, James. 2 and 3, Ermine, on a chief Gules, three cores crosslets Or, impaling Argent, a bend inter two choughs Sable, charged with two garbs Or; a chief, quarterly, Sable and Gules, guttee Argent; over all, a horse in full course Argent. Crest, on a wreath a Bull's head couped Sable, armed Or, a star Or betwixt the horns.
There were four other Escutcheons in the Porch, viz. 1. The See of Durham impaling James. 2. James quarterly as above, impaling Azure, a fesse Or, charged with a Lion passant Gules, in chief three bezants. 3. James quarterly, and impaling, as on the tablet. 4. James quarterly, as before. It may be added, that the whole roof of this porch was pannelled in compartments with the same arms, and a profusion of gold stars, which made it resemble a sort of Camera stellata; all which was the performance of Mrs. Dorothy James (fn. 21) in the good days when Widows and Spinsters worked the family arms on chair covers, and occasionally changed their hand from decorating the great hall with King Alexander's triumph, or the history of David and Goliath, to illustrating the family Pedigree in needle-work.
On a handsome mural tablet of marble, within the altar-rails:
Near this place rests in hopeCatharine, wife of the Rev. Charles Egerton, A. M.Rector of this Parish,who, as far as human infirmity permits,having faithfully performed her dutyto her Creator, her family, and her neighbour,was called from this life July 11th, 1801.Reader,imitate her virtues,and expect with herthe reward of eternal life.
On a plain stone in the Church-yard:
Hic jacet corpus Layton Etherington, hujusce Ecclesiæ Pastor, necnon Vicarius de Heighington, qui obiit nono die Octobris annoq. Domini 1718, annoq. ætatis suæ 64.

Washington Rectory, the Bishop, Patron. King's Books 18l. Tenths 1l. 16s. Proc. Epise. 10s. Proc. Archid. 2s. Dedication to the Virgin.
The Parsonage is an excellent brick house, with good gardens.
A straggling village, on rising ground, about two miles to the North of Washington.
Boldon Buke: Great Useworth pays 30s. for cornage, provides one milch cow, and one man for Castle-ward; eight chalders of malt, as many of meal, and as many of oats; each carucate (the demesne excepted) ploughs and harrows two acres. The tenants in villenage perform four Porcations, with twenty-six men to each porcation; and the services which they used to perform at Washington, they now render at Gateshead; further, they carry annually one pipe of wine, and one mill-stone, to Durham.
The Dreng feeds a horse, a dog, bears his part in the great hunt with two greyhounds and five cords of provision, follows the Court of Pleas, and serves on messages.
The mill pays ten shillings rent.
Under Hatfield's Survey, the whole of the services had been commuted into monied payments. Sir William Hilton held two parts of the vill, and Alice de Moderby held the remaining third; and these tenants paid jointly for foreign service (i. e. serving on embassies) 10s., for Castel-ward 20s., for labour at St. Martin's xs., for cornage 30s., for a milch cow 6s., only they still rendered in kind six quarters and two bushels of malt, five quarters and two bushels of oatmeal, and ten quarters and a half of oats, and they carried one pipe of wine (fn. 36) .
The family of Hilton retained the manor till the general dispersion of the property, in 1750, when the estate was sold by public auction, in eight farms or lots. Of these, two farms were purchased by William Peareth of Newcastle, Esq. which still remain in his family; two farms by Samuel Shield, Esq. who left three daughters and coheirs, Barbara married to Bernard Shaw, Esq. (fn. 37) Catharine to William Hargrave (fn. 38) of Shawdon, co. Northumb. Esq. and Sarah to Lieut.-col. William Blakeney (fn. 39) ; the latter family sold their share to William Russell, Esq. One farm was purchased by William Scott of Newcastle, and is now the property of his eldest son Sir William Scott; one was sold to Lord Ravensworth and his Partners (the Grand Allies); and one to—Bowlby, of North Shields: the latter has been since transferred to William Russell, Esq. whose son Matthew Russell, Esq. is the present proprietor, and also holds part of Shield's purchase, derived under Blakeney.
Usworth House, a handsome stone building, of regular architecture, in an open commanding situation, with an extensive prospect to the South and East. The mansion is sheltered by a fine grove on the North and West, and the grounds are scattered over with lofty flourishing evergreens, yew, cypress, and Lusitanian laurel. Usworth House is now the seat of Mrs. Peareth, widow of William Peareth, Esq. (See Pedigree of Peareth.)
* Reg. St. Nicholas, Newcastle.
† Reg. All Saints, Newcastle.
‡ Reg. St. Andrew's, Newcastle.
§ Reg. St. John's, Newcastle.
| Son of Sir John Marley, Knt. one of the loyal defenders of Newcastle.
¶ By this match the family acquired Chatersheugh; see Harraton, Pedigree of Jackson.
** At this early age William Peareth displayed all the promise of an accomplished scholar and gentleman. A mild and generous disposition, a hearty attachment to his native North, and a deep sense of religious and social duties, peculiarly fitted him to adorn the private but honourable station which seemed prepared for him. Nor have years effaced the feeling of affectionate regret with which his memory is cherished by those who could best estimate his modest and unassuming character. A portrait of William Peareth (a private plate) is engraved from Nicholson's copy of Hoppner's original painting.
*** I am indebted for the compilation of this Pedigree to the care and industry of my friend Sir Cuthbert Sharpe.
Boldon Buke: William holds Little Usworth, pays 10s., carries wine with a draught of eight oxen, and attends the great chase with two greyhounds.
Hatfield's Survey: Alice de Moderby holds Little Usworth, by foreign service and ten shillings rent.
The following descents will explain the progress of the manor, and its division into two moieties, from a somewhat earlier period.
I am unable to trace the further descent of Chestre's portion, originating from Isabel the younger coheiress; but Alice, the wife of three husbands, notwithstanding she had a son John Stanhop, seems to have transferred her moiety of Little Usworth and of the Shelemore, to a family unconnected by any discoverable trace of blood or affinity to her father's house.
By charter 14 R. II. 1391 (fn. 40) , Alice, then perhaps a widow for the third time, granted her lands to Adam Fenrother, Clerk, Robert de Whitton and Peter Hedlam, her trustees, who enfeoffed Elizabeth, wife of Gerard Heron and Joan de Ridell, (daughters of Cecily Taillor) (fn. 41) ; and Dame Elizabeth Heron, who appears to have had no issue, settled as well the manor and tower of Scremerston in the North Bishopric, as her moiety of Lytell Useworth, her half of the water mill, and her half of the Shelemore in Mykel-Useworth, on John Swynnow and Joan his wife and the heirs of Joan. John de Swynnow, of Seremerston, died seized in this form in 1463 (fn. 42) , leaving Robert his son and heir, who died in 1469, leaving a son and heir Henry Swinnow, of full age (fn. 43) . The heiress of Swinnow married Lawson, but the estate of Usworth was vested before that period in a different family of Lawson, whose descent in the annexed Pedigree explains the subsequent passage of the estate. The last Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Bart. devised to Thomas Wybergh; see Washington, p.42.
The Inq. on Wilfrid Lawson Knight in 1632 (fn. 44) , states him to have died seized of the manor of Little Usworth, of lands called Over Shelemore and Nether Shelemore, and of other lands near Usworth, called Strother House or Strother Medows.
The Shelemore, which appears to have originated in that third of Great Usworth which was all along attached to the lesser vill, is constantly stated to be held of the Baron of Hilton, first by a pair of white or steel spurs, and latterly by one penny rent.
An Inspeximus (21 Aug. 5 Eliz.) recites the Charter of Richard de Stanhop; the Inq. on his death 35 Hatfield; the Inq. on William de Chestre 8 Langley; on Christian Redmarshall 10 Langley; and on three successive Swynnows 8 and 11 Booth, and 7 Wolsey; and on Thomas Lawson, Esq. 1 Eliz.;—and the extract from Boldon Book. The evidence was held satisfactory as to the tenure, viz. by 5s. rent, 5s. relief, 5s. common aid; the furnishing of a greyhound in the Bishop's great chase, and the military service of the fourth part of a knight's fee, and an amoveas manus and quitclaim of all other rent or service was issued ex parte Episcopi.—Rot. Toby Mathew.

* The Pedigree, as stated in Thoresby's Leeds, p. 249, is deduced through eight descents (to. Thomas of Usworth) from John Lawson, Lord of Fawkesgrave, co. York, Hen. III.
† 29 Dec. 1587, Will of George Lawson, of Little Usworth, Esq. Desires burial "in the Quier of Washington, over against my grandfather's tombe, where I will that my sonne Thomas Lawson shall cause a window and tombe to be built, and he to bestow ye some of xxl. or xll. at his discretion." "Item, I give to ye maintenance of a gram'er schole in Hexam xxl. in money." "If Mr. Robert Claxton, of whom I purchased the lordship of Burnehall, do paie unto my sonne Thomas 2000l. within ye next yeare, he shall have the lordshipp againe; and I will yat my sonne give him 30l. back.

Usworth Place, the seat of Robert Shaw, Esq. a handsome modern mansion built by Bernard Shaw, Esq. father of the present proprietor, lies about a mile to the East of Great Usworth. Bernard Shaw, Esq. (fn. 45) acquired the estate by marriage with Barbara, daughter and coheir of Samuel Shields, Esq. who had purchased on the sale of the Hilton estates (see p. 23).
North Biddick lies close on the Wear, a mile to the South of Washington.
Bedyk U1killi, the sixth part of the service of one knight's fee.
John the son of Eustace and Alexander his brother, of West Aukland, who were slaves, "irretiti de servitute," are now free, per pateram. Boldon Buke.
Betwixt the date of this record and the compilation of Hatfield's Survey, North Biddic gave local name to a family, who about the time of Edward III. exchanged the surname of de Biddic, for the patronymic Sanderson. In Vincent's Durham are two rude sketches in trick from monuments of this family, in Washington Church-yard (fn. 46) ; on these monuments, and on the attestation of several Charters without date by Alexander de Biddic, rests the ancient evidence of the family, from which the Sanderson's of Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire, the ancestors of the Earls of Castleton and Scarborough, and of the learned and pious Bishop Sanderson of Lincoln, deduce their origin (fn. 47) . Betwixt Boldon Buke and Hatfield's Survey, there is "ample space and verge enough," for at least eight or nine successive Lords of Biddic; the descendants, it may be, either of Ulkill the Saxon owner of Boldon Buke, or of the emancipated Alexander; but the Survey, whilst it states that North Bedik was held by Sir William Hilton (fn. 48) under the ancient tenure of Boldon Buke, the sixth part of a knight's service, also states, that the vill had been intermediately the possession of John de Yheland. The same William Hilton held jointly with Thomas Gray, an acre lately brought into tillage, called Stanhers, under 12d. rent. Gilbert Hunter held a messuage and garden of half a rood, by 6d. rent. Robert Luddok held a messuage and five acres, and another messuage and twelve acres, once belonging to Roger the son of Thomas, and used to pay 20s., now only 17s.; five acres, once William Jewes 5s. 8d. William de Stele, took eleven acres, three roods and a half of the land called Wodyngdon, formerly Richard de Ulleston's, for the use of the husbandmen of Urpath, and used to pay a rent of 8s. 4d., now reduced to five shillings. Lastly, John Bateson held forty acres called Bedyk-field, under as many shillings rent.
From this period, North Biddic was the property and the occasional residence of the Hiltons for several generations; the tenure is uniformly stated as the sixth part of a knight's service and 53s. 4d. (fn. 49) In the 5th of Bishop Nevill, Sir William Hilton gave his manor of North Bedyk and Bedyk wood, to his son and heir Sir Robert Hilton (fn. 50) . The estate was included with Barmston and Usworth, in the great family settlement executed by William Baron Hilton in 1526 (fn. 51) ; and in 1566, North Biddic was the jointure house of Margery Hilton (widow of William,) who dates her will there.
This estate was alienated on the first dispersion of the Hilton property (occasioned by the imprudent testamentary dispositions of Baron Henry Hilton, and by the loyal sufferings of his heirs); and passed to a branch of the family of Carr of Cocken, whose descent has been already stated (fn. 52) . Fortune, sister and heiress of Robert Carr of North Biddie, Esq. intermarried with James Davison, in her right of Biddie, who devised (fn. 53) to his niece Margaret Davison, daughter of his brother Charles. Margaret intermarried with George Errington of Newcastle, who devised to his nephew George Ward of London, whose son George Ward Errington, of Newcastle, who devised to his nephew George Ward of London, whose son George Ward Errington, Esq. is the present proprietor of North Biddick. A frechold rent of 13l. 6s. 8d. was reserved out of Biddick, and 20l. out of Barmston, on the sale of those estates by the Hiltons.
Barmston, an ancient manor of the Hiltons, lies on the Wear, nearly opposite to Offerton. In 1322, Sir Robert Hilton granted to his Chaplain, all the wax and honey of his wild bees in Barmston Park (fn. 54) . The Inquisition on the death of Sir William Hilton in 1641, states the tenure at half a knight's fee, held by homage, fealty, and suit, every fortnight at the County Court (fn. 55) . By Ind. 3 March 22 Eliz. Sir William Hilton for 500l. paid and 86l.15s. reserved rent, leased his manor of Barmston to George Lawson of Little Usworth, Gent. for a hundred and eighty years (fn. 56) . The lease was exemplified in 1633, at the request of Talbot Lisle (fn. 57) of Barmston, Gent. and John Richardson of the City of Durham, Gent. who were then beneficially interested (fn. 58) . In 1669, (19 July, 21 Car. II.) John Hilton of Hilton, Esq. granted his manor of Barmston for 2750l., to George Lilburne of Sunderland, Esq. and William Carr of Newcastle, Merchant (fn. 59) . In 1681, (19 April, 33 Car. II.) George Ellison of Newcastle, Gent. Isabel Ellison, widow, and William Lilburne of Newcastle, Esq. settled the same manor with lands in Jarroe, on the marriage of George Ellison and Anne Coan, Spinster (fn. 59) .
The estate rested in the family of Lilburne till after the year 1700. It was purchased, I believe, by Madam Jane Wharton, whose only daughter by her second husband Richard Wharton, Gent. intermarried with John Tempest, Esq. and it now forms part of the possessions of Lady Frances Emily Vane Tempest.
In 1448 the manor of Barmston consisted of the scite of the mansion, nil valet; 27 messuages, each worth 12d. rent; two husbond-lands of twenty acres each; twenty-four oxgangs, each consisting of ten acres, and each acre worth 6d. rent; ten score and two acres and a half of arable land, each acre worth 4d.; sixteen acres of meadow, each worth 12d.; two acres of pasture, 2d. each; a park of ninety acres, worth 4d. each; two water-mills, nil val. quia totaliter vastantur; and 21s. 1d. rent: all held by half a knight's fee, fealty, and suit of court (fn. 60) .
Dr. Triplett's Charity. See Whitburn.
Thomas Robinson, of Usworth, Gent. left 5l. poor stock by will dated 4 Sept. 1721; and John Hopper the same sum by will 1732. The present poor-stock amounts to 100l. of which the origin is unknown, but it is presumed to include the two donations above named.
It may be mentioned here, what could not be told before, that King James scolded Bishop James to death; scolded him so roundly and roughly, on the 8th of May, in his own Castle at Durham, that he retired to Auckland, and died of a violent fit of stone and strangury, brought on by perfect vexation, there days afterwards. The cause of this royal objurgation was probably Bishop James's contest with the Citizens of Durham, relative to their Borough Privileges, and to Parliamentary Representation. See Durham hereafter.
This Bishop James (says Mickleton in Latin, which it will be more for his credit to translate into English,) was a little inclined to hoard his money and save an estate for his family, but bating this, as kindly and quiet a Bishop as ever lived, hurting nobody, thwarting, jostling nobody off the King's high road, but quietly ambling along on his own episcopal pad, with rather shabby lack-lustre purple housings. All this I could not tell the reader before, (I. lxxxvii) because the present Bishop (who also rides his Palatine pad very peaceably and very fairly, considering the roughness of the road, but his housings are much brighter, and his purples keep their lustre wonderfully), had not then placed Mickleton's precious MSS. in the Episcopal Library in usum, &c. &c. Well! when poor Bishop James had been scolded to death, and lay cold in the Abbey, the Palatine lieges soon found out that his successor Neile was not a whit beeter, for he seldom entertained the Gentry, no not even at the Quarter Sessions; and it evidently appears from Neile's own letters in the same worthy collection, that he kept only one or two servants in his absence at the Castle, and that small beer was brewed on the spur of the moment on any emergency; yet was Neile a liberal Patron of letters.
—And deem not, though it be my lot to paintA Prelate swayed by grovelling love of gold,That all who wore the mitre of the SaintLike James, or cyder-sparing Neile, I hold.There were whose liberal virtues might atoneTheir predecessors frailties trebly told;Learn'd Bury, Tunstall mild, and Hatfieldbold,Morton and Cosin, we as such may own,And such if fame speak truth—
There are at least fifty beneficed clerks, and a few laymen, who whether they have read "Harold the Dauntless" or no, will easily find out a proper name and epithet to close the rhyme.
Title Deeds and Pardon of Alienation 8 Sept. 1623, Rot. Neile. Add this match also to the Pedigree, I. 216. Mr. Francis James seems to have resided at Edmonton before he became a country gentleman at Hetton in the Hole, for he never lived at Washington.
"My honorble good Lord, My humble dewtie and s'vice rememberd to yor Lordshipp. Accordinge to yor Lordshipps commandemente, I have sente my horse (fn. 61) , but hee is not soe well provided as I wish hee should bee.

Conveyance from Sir George Wheler (father of Grace Musgrave), under the direction of Mr. Edwards, a Master in Chancery, to John Curhbert, Esq. and Robert Hutton, Trustees for Spearman, 13 and 14 Dec. 1723.
It will be seen by a reference to the Baronetage, that neither of Musgrave;s two fourths descended in the chief line of that family; they were probably settled by Sir Richard Musgrave and his Lady, on their younger sons Ralph, James, and William Musgrave, of whom the last-named sold to Spearman; and the other portions are, by descent or settlements which I am not enabled to trace, vested in the present owner, who succeeded to the title on the death of General Sir Thomas Musgrave, Bart.

To put it simply, prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.
There are three main classifications of prostatitis:
- Acute bacterial prostatitis - acute infection of the prostate gland, usually occurs in men aged 40 to 60 years.
- Chronic bacterial prostatitis - recurrent infection of the prostate, occurs in men aged 50 to 80 years. It is associated with chronic urinary infection and, commonly, calcifications in the prostate (prostatic stones). In the cases of bacterial prostatitis, the culprit usually is a bacteria known as Escherichia coli. The cause of bacterial prostatitis is not well--defined, but one theory suggests a reflux of urine from the bladder into prostatic ducts. This reflux of urine may lead to prostatitis.
- Nonbacterial prostatitis - inflammation without any evidence of infection present, occurs in men aged 30 to 50 years. The cause of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is unknown. In addition, there is another condition termed prostatodynia. The symptoms are similar to prostatitis, but there is no evidence of prostate inflammation.
Symptoms of prostatitis
Each form of prostatitis has a slight variation in signs and symptoms.
Acute bacterial prostatitis
- Sudden onset of fever and chills
- Pain in lower back or rectum
- Irritative or obstructive urinary symptoms
- Prostate is warm, swollen, and tender upon examination
Chronic bacterial prostatitis
- Relapsing urinary tract infections
- Painful urination or other voiding problems
- Ejaculatory pain
- Pelvic or genital pain
- Some men may not have any symptoms
Nonbacterial prostatitis
- Chronic pelvic pain (testicular, penile, lower abdominal, ejaculatory)
- Persistent inflammation of the prostate
- Absence of infectious bacteria in urine
Diagnosing prostatitis
The gold standard for diagnosing prostatitis would be to perform a biopsy of the prostate, but this is rarely done. Instead, doctors may diagnose prostatitis by examining prostatic secretions for bacteria. To do this, a "four-cup" test may be conducted. To start, the patient must have a full bladder. The doctor will clean the penis with soap and water and will then collect two cups of urine. Next, the prostate will be massaged by a digital rectal examination (DRE) to allow prostatic fluid to travel through the urethra. Two more cups of urine will be collected, and the expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) in the urine is examined for the presence of bacteria. Some physicians may not perform the "four-cup" test, and may just obtain urine before and after massaging the prostate. Sometimes EPS secretions from the urethra can be collected from the tip of the penis after massaging the prostate. After the physician collects these secretions, they can be examined under a microscope. Nonbacterial prostatitis is more difficult to diagnose. With these patients, the EPS will have evidence of inflammation, but bacteria will not be present. The lack of recurrent urinary tract infections distinguishes nonbacterial prostatitis from chronic bacterial prostatitis.

FAA investigators said Wednesday that the pilot flying Asiana Airlines flight 214 told them that he was blinded by a bright light when 500 feet above the ground. It was at that altitude that the pilots began attempting to make control adjustments in order to increase the plane's speed and avoid a crash. The blinding of the chief pilot, who was at the controls, might have caused him to lose the crucial few seconds needed to set up the plane to do a go-around and make another approach.
Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said it wasn't clear what could have caused the problem. Asked specifically whether it could have been a laser pointed from the ground, Hersman said she couldn't say what caused it. "We need to understand exactly what that is," Hersman said.
The blinding of pilots by the use of laser pointers has been a serious problem for the air travel industry. In July of 2012, a Jet Blue plane nearly crashed when the pilot was blinded by a laser pointer. in 2011, there were 141 incidents of pilots being disturbed by laser pointers as they were landing their planes in the New York area alone.
Could this incident have involved a UFO? In this case it seems more likely that it was a laser being pointed at the cockpit by a vandal, but there have been numerous incidents, especially in recent years, of pilots reporting strange objects passing close by their planes or even striking them, and near-miss reports are filed 10 to 12 times a year.
This will become a big story over the next few days, but one thing will be missing--the UFO angle. But not here. At Unknowncountry.com, we're not afraid to report on the unknown--in fact, it's our main brief! Keep our unique brand of news coming, subscribe today!
This development really intrigues me. Wld an EMP weapon (pointed at the plane from the ground) cause a bright flash or be modified in such a way as elicit both? Perhaps they have evolved these weapons so well that instead of just bringing a plane down (ie -- shutting the engines down) -- they can temporarily disable the place, freeze the controls, and then start them up again. Before I knew what an emp weapon was, I postulated that it was such a weapon disabling too many a plane which then crash landed with many fatalities and casulties. Looking at the plane and listening to the sequence of events -- it is amazing so many people survived. I think there are those that test drive these weapons using us like guinea pigs. What a strange airport circumstance anyway? Budget cuts again? An accident (or not) waiting to happen if you ask me.
Having lived in San Francisco for over 35 years, I've flown in and out of SFO numerous times. When coming in for a landing over the Bay just like the Asiana Flight 214, I've often felt that "we're pretty low over the water" and sighed with relief upon finally seeing the end of the runway. So far, indicators point to pilot (and co-pilot) error especially with the formula of a less experienced pilot landing a 777 at SFO for the first time and a more experienced co-pilot in the role of a training instructor for the first time. That sounds like a recipe for disaster right there. Rather than a laser blinding the pilot, from what I understand, automated lights on the approach DID flash a warning to the pilots that they were coming in too low which they did not realize themselves. Or, perhaps the flash of light was an angelic "wake-up call" to make a correction at that critical point. They then tried to throttle up for a "go-around" which may have lifted the front of the plane enough so that it did not crash into the end of the runway. It's most unfortunate that the landing gear just caught the rocks, but it was still a miracle that so many of the 307 souls onboard survived unscathed.
In a TV news update last night, it was reported that the Asiana Flight 214 pilot said that the "bright light" he saw did NOT blind him. I personally believe the light flash was more of a celestrial warning.

According to the pilot, it was the first flight after the engine installation. Prior to departure, he conducted a preflight engine run-up and all systems were normal. The airplane then departed and climbed to the traffic pattern altitude. While on the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, the engine failed. The pilot attempted to return to the airport but was unsuccessful and made a forced landing short of the runway in a heavily wooded area. An examination of the fuel did not reveal any contamination. While examination of the induction tubes revealed that the right side intake induction tube was not connected properly (the clamp was found tight but the rubber connection hose was not sealed), it may have become disconnected when the engine was dragged out from the accident site during recovery. Further, the engine manufacturer indicated that a loose intake induction tube would disrupt air flow but would not necessarily cause an engine to stop. Examination of the ignition system revealed that sections of the wiring were not sealed. Uninsulated or unsealed areas of the ignition system wiring could have caused grounding/shorting of the ignition system; however, the investigation was unable to conclusively determine the reason for the total loss of engine power.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Dadub is a meeting of two minds, Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti, a duo whose output is underpinned by a mutual curiosity. The result? Startling electronic music productions, one of the best live acts in the scene and the innovative Artefacts Mastering studio.
Twinned by a fascination of process, and a love of Lee Scratch Perry's mix board experiments, they take dub and push it into the deepest corners of techno and out to the ambient fringes. Frustrated by identikit sounds in electronic music they set about pouring their technical knowledge together in search of innovation.
They describe their approach in the studio as 'like making scent'. Dadub take sound and process it to extract depth and expose human warmth.
It's exactly this type of discipline, their use of open strategies instead of formulas that also makes Dadub so dynamic live. Live they layer dubbing and synthesis, they take Dadub material and deconstruct or reconstruct it spontaneously. Their sets are seriously deep and have been showcased internationally at Barcelona's Sonar festival, Germany's Melt! festival and in clubs from Berlin to Moscow and New York.
