The play "Scorched" [Incendies] by Lebanese French Canadian playwright Wajdi Mouawad is opening at the Historic Chicago Temple Building, from October 6 through November 7. A production of the Silk Road Theater Project, the play is translated from French by Linda Gaboriau, and opens to high critical praise.
A brother and sister raised in Quebec return to Lebanon in the midst of civil war, to carry out the last wishes of their mother: to find the father and brother they didn't know they had.
A modernization of a Greek tragedy, Scorched has been praised for its political relevance, evocative imagery and the exploration of the deep emotions of a divided family.
Performances are on Wednesdays through Sundays, with matinees on the weekend. The Chicago Temple Building is located at 77 W. Washington. For more information, visit http://www.srtp.org/productions.html

In the fourth quarter, the arguments for experience, injuries, age, and home-court advantage all went out the window. A raucous Barclays Center crowd expected the Nets to win, but the upstart Toronto Raptors flipped the script.
Behind a gimpy Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, the Raptors stole Game 4 from the Nets with an 87-79 win. Lowry overcame foul trouble and poured in 22 points, including a dagger skyhook over Kevin Garnett with 1:13 left in the game. DeRozan finished with a game-high 24 points.
The green Raptors have adjusted to playoff basketball in flying colors.
"We are playing for our life, man," said guard Greivis Vasquez, whose lone three-pointer with 4:07 left gave the Raptors' an 83-79 lead. "We are not satisfied with what we have, we want more."
The Raptors seized home-court advantage after the Nets had taken it in a Game 1 win. Lowry and forward Amir Johnson survived five fouls in the fourth quarter, with the former making a risky steal and the latter taking a Paul Pierce offensive foul to the chest.
"I think we're encouraged that we go home 2-2," Lowry said. "Now it's a three-game series and we've got to take care of home, home's not going to take care of us. ... Our confidence is high, we've been excited. We thought we were going to win on Friday and unfortunately we didn't, and we thought we were going to win tonight and we did."
When the Nets constructed this team, the fourth quarter appeared like a clear advantage. With the experience and star power of Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett, and Pierce, how could the Nets not rise in crunch time?
Surprisingly, the Nets have come up small in the last three fourth quarters. In Game 4, the Nets managed only three field goals and 12 points in the final 12 minutes. During the previous game, a 15-point lead evaporated to two in a matter of five minutes.
"The last four minutes is normally where we feel very comfortable, and we just got out of character there," head coach Jason Kidd said.
The Nets will have to adjust heading into Game 5 Wednesday night in what promises to be a chaotic Air Canada Centre. The Raptors have clearly adjusted to the Nets.
After Williams and Johnson shredded the Raptors for 51 points in Game 3, the duo struggled to mount much of anything on the offensive end Sunday night. Johnson scored just seven points on seven shots as the Raptors threw everything but the kitchen sink at the All-Star scorer.
"They're a competitive group," said Pierce, who led the Nets with 22 points. "We understand that this is a group that's not going to back down, that's not going to give up. They earn a lot of people's respect around the league. ... They're not going to go away or something, and we understand that."
Casey tried to downplay the significance of one win, but the result was the difference between a five-game exit and what could be a seven-game barn burner.
The Raptors feel that they are up to the task, which did not appear to be the case early. The Nets fell behind by 17 points in the fourth quarter, but a furious run to close the half coupled with a 1-for-16 Raptors' drought to open the third quarter changed the game. The Nets jumped ahead by five points and the Raptors sank into a bleak situation of hanging heads and ill-advised shots.
Casey pressed the right buttons, and the Nets experienced that same malaise throughout the rest of the game.
Back to the drawing board for Kidd and his staff in this intense chess match. What could have been a quick series now looks poised to go to the distance.

The 2014 college football season is finally underway. On the year's opening weekend, all 13 Mid-American Conference schools were in action. There were a fair amount of wins over FCS teams, the first conference game and unfortunately zero wins over FBS foes.
With a small sample size in the books, here are the first MAC power rankings of the season.
1. Northern Illinois (1-0): The Huskies showed why they are a preseason conference favorite, taking care of lowly Presbyterian. Up next is a much tougher test in Northwestern.
2. Toledo (1-0): The Rockets trailed New Hampshire 7-3 after the first quarter. Toledo's offense took over in the second quarter, winning a laugher over UNH.
3. Akron (1-0): It wasn't that long ago that FCS games were a challenge for the Zips. Not these days. Terry Bowden has his team firing on all cylinders.
4. Ball State (1-0): It's going to be tough competing in a stacked MAC West. Against Colgate though, the Cardinals looked like contenders.
5. Ohio (1-0): Josiah Yazdani's last-second kick gave the Bobcats the first MAC win of 2014. Remember this road win in November, because it could have title implications.
6. Bowling Green (0-1): The Falcons were a preseason media darling in the MAC. They were anything but cute in a 59-31 drubbing to Western Kentucky.
7. Kent State (0-1): The Golden Flashes never led against Ohio, but held their own for four quarters. If Kent State wants to get into the top half of these rankings, those are games they'll need to turn into wins.
8. Miami (0-1): Miami found itself trailing Marshall 28-3 at halftime, but rallied back to make the final score respectable, falling 42-27. If the RedHawks can overcome their early jitters, they could be in for a decent season.
9. Central Michigan (1-0): The Chippewas were anything but convincing in a 20-16 win over Tennessee-Chattanooga. Central Michigan has been down this road before though, and always seems to find a way to get to .500.
10. Buffalo (1-0): Joe Licata had a big night, throwing for three touchdowns to save Buffalo from an embarrassing loss to Duquesne. Like CMU, the Bulls need to find a way to build off of a lackluster opener.
11. Western Michigan (0-1): The Broncos had moments where they looked great against Purdue, and they might have found their running back of the future in Jarvion Franklin. The stat stands out though is that WMU lost its 10th straight opener.
12. Eastern Michigan (1-0): The Eagles have been getting mocked this weekend after failing to knock down a cinder block wall during introductions. Gimmicky entrances aside, EMU needs to worry more about another poor showing against an FCS team, lucking into a 31-28 win over Morgan State.
13. UMass (0-1): The Minutemen held Boston College scoreless into the second quarter and scored a touchdown of their own. In reality, this is a team killing time until it returns to FCS.

Coldplay fans descend on Newtown
Chris Martin leads a procession of 'extras' down King Street on Tuesday while filming a video for A Sky Full of Stars.PT1M58S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3abbs 620 349 June 17, 2014
After an hour of haggling to move media - especially TV cameras - out of the way to allow for 'natural' footage of a global superstar rock band wandering casually down a busy footpath in Sydney, it happened. Coldplay wandered casually down King Street in Newtown, as part of the shoot for the A Sky Full of Stars music video clip.
An advanced team of oversized bouncers swept all before them like an All Black forward pack to clear the way for the band. This reporter stood side-on to a skinny metal pole, trying to blend into King Street despite a healthy waistline and was bizarrely left untouched by the security. I'm sure I made the shot.
Martin and the rest of the band - each dressed like a colourful one-mand band - glided close by, good humoured and determinedly stuck to their parts, singing and joking amidst the giddy mayhem of fans, cameras, the output of a bubble machine and the faint waft of marijuana pervading the general vicinity.

This was Coldplay doing a One Direction: inciting fan frenzy in the manner of a boy band, although each of its members are in their mid-30s. Word on the street is a rough edit of the Sky Full of Stars video might even appear on YouTube by Tuesday evening.
The British indie rock group is also in Sydney for a one-off promotional gig on Thursday and used social media on Monday afternoon to call for 250 fans to appear in the video shoot.
Coldplay asked wannabes to "bring a smile" and assemble at 11.30am at the Courthouse Hotel on the corner of Australia Street and Lennox Street in the inner west suburb.

A director told the 250 expectant extras assembled that Martin would emerge from Mary Street, beside Kelly's Pub, and walk down King Street stopping to sing in front of the famous Martin Luther King "I have a dream" mural where he would be joined by the rest of the band before finishing the clip outside The Hub.
The Hub is an iconic local building that once, amongst other things operated as a porn cinema, and is being refurbished as a live music venue.
The extras are expected to dance and "go crazy".
Chaos ... fans crammed the streets to watch Coldplay. Photo: James Brickwood
Josh, one of he organisers, warned volunteers "there are some pretty eclectic people around here so just be careful with your personal belongings."
Coldplay had their 250 volunteers by just before 11am, but fans were arriving long before.
"I heard somebody say there were sleeping bags here," said Josh McConaha, a 23-year-old Sydney university student originally from Cincinnati in the US.

The expectant waiting fans were ushered into the garden bar of the Courthouse pub, although a soft drinks-only rule was applied. They occupied themselves singing Coldplay songs and swapping stories.
Georgia Hammett 18, wasn't sure what to expect from the shoot: "Maybe we will run down the street dancing, who knows?"
Georgia Quigley, 21, was clearer in her hopes for the day: "I'm just hoping to swing some free tickets [for the Enmore gig]. I missed out."

Another organiser, who didn't want to be named said the volunteers would not receive a free ticket to the gig but would eventually have their names listed on the credits for the song clip.
He said the Courthouse Hotel was chosen because it was close to the location for the clip.
A bar attendant from the Courthouse, who didn't want to be named, agreed Newtown was an unexpected location for a Coldplay video clip and added alcohol was off the bar because "they don't want everyone drunk in the video".
Fans occupied themselves by singing Coldplay songs. Photo: Peter Vincent
Newtown is usually more closely associated with niche hipster and art-rock projects than world-famous stadium-filling acts singing epic ballads with lyrics like A Sky Full of Stars, which goes: "Cos you're a sky, cos you're a sky full of stars / I wanna die in your arms / Cos you get lighter the more it gets dark / I'm gonna give you my heart."
But the invitation proved so popular on social media, it filled the parkside Newtown streets for the first half of Tuesday.
We're shooting the video for A Sky Full Of Stars on the streets of Sydney tomorrow. Does anyone want to be in it!? PH

Bathroom Tubs: Exploring the Unconventional
A luxury teak bathtub. Photo Credit: Square Magazine
Bathroom tubs come in an endless variety of sizes, colors, and styles, and deciding on one can be daunting. But oh, the possibilities of design can be so fun; why not let your imagination go wild or a little unconventional? Why settle on the traditional square acrylic?
The first thing you will want to do, though, is know your style for the overall bathroom. Base your choice on your needs, desires, and budget. Think about the bathroom becoming a place of decompressing, a haven of peace and tranquility, or even a place for a touch of romance.
Now, let's talk exotic and unconventional.
Teak Bathtubs. Now, you might think that wood and water don't mix, and generally speaking, that's true. However, that's not the case here. Teak wood bathtubs are kiln dried, having low levels of moisture. This ensures that the wood won't split or warp, even in extreme hot and cold conditions. It also keeps the wood from expanding or contracting, thus resulting in an enduring product that will last for years. The wood is beautiful and striking and makes a perfect choice for soaking bathtubs in Asian or Tropical decors.
Stone Bathtubs. These types of tubs are usually, for practical reasons, freestanding or pedestal tubs. They are more often than not for soaking. They come in natural stones like marble, limestone, or granite with grain patterns and color stains to give that exotic unique look. These tubs are a little spending as they are built by hand, but results are of exquisite beauty. Make this bathtub the focal point in your bathroom with a Mediterranean style. Be it Roman, Greek, Spanish, or Tuscan style, it will be a room you will never want to leave.
Roman Bathtubs. Think "ancient Roman baths." Those baths were not only for bathing, but they were an art form, expressing the culture of the times. Tubs today do not take up whole buildings as they did in ancient times, but they still can reflect your taste in beauty and elegance. The tub is usually a soaking bath, deep and large, but it can have many accessories that will add to your comfort and peace. Make this tub a focal point with a tiled tub skirt of marble and you will have a work of art or even romance fitting with Old World or Tuscan style.
Clawfoot Bathtubs. These baths come in every possible color, design, and material: porcelain, stone, cast iron, and acrylic. They're very comfortable tubs that can be made fit-to-size. Because of their curved shape, they allow for complete relaxation. Choose a double ended slipper tub and you can relax from either end of the tub. These tubs can be designed with many enhancements, like whirlpool jets. Add some fragrance oil and candles and oooh la la, you may never come out. This tub works very well with vintage styles like Country style, Romantic style and, with the right color choices, even Contemporary style.
Japanese Bathtubs: Ofuro is the proper name for this style of bath, which started with the volcanic baths in Japan. They are usually twice as large as the conventional style bathtub and are designed for sitting and soaking. Japanese baths are meant for relaxing rejuvenation. This tub should be the center of your bathroom. Because they're purpose is stress relief and restoring good circulation and health, you can get this tub with control panels regulating water temperature, water pressure, and water flow. Obviously, this tub is perfect for the Asian style of decor, but you can fit it in with Contemporary style, Tropical style, and especially, Eclectic style.
Want to explore more styles, colors, shapes, and materials that go into the designs of unconventional bathtubs? Check out the videos at the HGTV website for bath design.
Whatever your choice in bathroom design, traditional or the unconventional, be sure to consult a professional for installation. There is much more to installing a bathtub or remodeling a bathroom than just dreaming of the perfect style; we can help and then you can enjoy! Style is important throughout your home; shouldn't the bathroom have the same considerations?

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Chris Lowrance interviews painter Kelley Johnson.
Johnson comments that his new work "came out of questioning what I want or wish painting could be right now, for me. A type of interaction with the two-dimensional surface and it surroundings and a desire to control the space. I think that sometimes it's easier to talk about something by adding an element that is foreign to the medium. While I am working I like to imagine that I have moved the picture plane right in front of the viewer as if everything within the visual field functions as an important part of the image or at least interacts with it. There may be a set of lines or shape on the floor that have a certain length, width and direction that reflects in the painting allowing a different type of space to occur in the image. Or the wall might be the same color as an area in the painting creating a tangible plane in the image, a kind of reference point almost. I like to think of how deeply a painted shape appears to sit in the image and its interaction with the surrounding reality and the actual depth of the canvas. This allows the viewer to jump back and forth between the 'painting' and its surroundings. Creating an active relationship between the wall, floor and canvas. If that makes any sense? I really just want the viewer to interact with the images in a way that is not typical to painting but is still involved in its discourse. The two-dimensional space starts to live in a way that typically doesn't happen in the 'framed window' of painting."
Rachel Reese reviews the recent exhibition Kelley Johnson: Recent Paintings at Twin Kittens, Atlanta.
Reese writes that Johnson's paintings "command the walls, creating a presence simultaneously functioning with playful gesture and skillful control. It is refreshing to view paintings as physical objects—while not slick or monolithic, they operate as flattened forms shaped by human touch. Tactile brushstrokes read as finger or hand-made gestures, and specific layering devices employed by Johnson add dimensionality by expanding or collapsing the conceptual space."
Edited by artist Brett Baker, Painters' Table highlights writing from the painting blogosphere as it is published and serves as a platform for exploring blogs that focus primarily on the subject of painting.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of AcelRx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ACRX), a health care company developing the Zalviso pain-managing drug delivery system, jumped by as much as 11% today after the company confirmed its July 27 PDUFA date for Zalviso with the FDA.
So what: According to the company's press release, rumors had swirled that regulators already had approved the device -- but so far, AcelRx noted that it hasn't heard an answer over its regulatory filing for Zalviso. Investors, however, have rallied around the stock as analysts grow optimistic over an FDA approval for Zalviso. Piper Jaffrey noted last month that it expects a "timely approval" of the device around its PDUFA date, particularly after Zalviso posted strong safety and efficacy data in earlier clinical trials.
Now what: Signs are looking good for Zalviso's approval moving forward, and today's stock jump points to investor confidence in just that outcome. There's a sizable opportunity here for AcelRx: The company's drug delivery and pain-management system is aiming to compete with traditional IV-delivered pain control in hospitals, a practice AcelRx notes can lead to infections, human errors, and other potential hazards.
Zalviso has already won its share of supporters. AcelRx inked a deal worth up to $250 million to sell the system's European and Australian rights to German company Grunenthal GmbH, and Piper Jaffray foresees up to $300 million to $400 million in peak U.S. sales for the system if approved.

What if you had a "best blog contest" and Hitler won? Neo-Nazis will have to stick to wishful thinking and settle for second best: hate-spewing anti-Muslim blog Little Green Footballs wonWashington Post's reader poll for "best international blog" with bon mots about Palestinians and other Muslims such as "I've been fond of transfer of these subhuman[s] for a while. Perhaps something more like targeted genocide… will become necessary" and "How can these vermin have a country? How can these vermin be allowed to live?" It's a truism by now that liberals sling around Hitler accusations too loosely, but LGF quacks like a Nazi duck. Its win in the poll proves only that there was a campaign on its behalf, as there surely was for the all the "liberal" blogs to the left of Goebbels. But the fact is that LGF is one of the most popular blogs on the web, one of the most popular conservative blogs, and stands unrepudiated by most other conservative bloggers. This is a big religion story, and it's a big political story, but it goes mostly unreported on the grounds that it's best to ignore raving wingnuts. That's fine — until the wingnuts have gathered so many supporters that respectable conservatives are afraid to stand up to them.
Hundreds of former Khmer Rouge fighters involved in the massacres that led to the Killing Fields have been baptized this year and now consider themselves evangelical Christians. In the four years between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge attempted to eradicate religion by destroying cathedrals, Buddhist temples and killing Muslim clergy, but now, after visits from U.S. missionaries, 70% of the converts in some areas are former Khmer Rouge, including the party's premier radio propagandist, Kun Lung. Lung now runs two daily radio programs describing God's work.
A British naval officer has just become the first registered Satanist in England's military. The recognition gives him the right to perform satanic rituals on board, and entitles him to have his funeral carried out by the Church of Satan should he be killed in action.
Yesterday Kerry made perhaps "the most overtly religious speech of the campaign by either candidate," in calling for a government that fulfills its moral and social obligations to "the least" of American people. "'The Bible tells us that in others we encounter the face of the God,'" Kerry said, and ended by asking voters to pray for both candidates. The prayer, report Jim VandeHeiand Mike Allen of The Washington Post, was interrupted by rally-participants chanting "'No More Bush.'"
As a finale to Black History Month, New Nation has published a list of the 100 greatest black icons ever. Jesus tops the list, followed by Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali.
380 tons of explosives — one pound of which is enough to destroy a 747 — have gone "missing" from a known bomb-making factory left unguarded by U.S. forces. Department of Defense explains that bad guys "stored weapons in mosques, schools, hospitals and countless other locations." Right. Such as bomb-making factories. NYT and "60 Minutes" will get kudos for this important scoop, but we're just as pissed at the press as we are at our secretary of "defense," whose title must be from now on written at all times with "irony quotes." Maybe it's because we just watched the second season of "24," which includes both a terrorist nuclear bomb and a mosque-stomping scene, but we're thinking: Couldn't someone have interrupted the very important mosque-and-school searches to say, "Hey — who's keeping an eye on thebomb-making factory?" We're media critics here at The Revealer — frightened media critics — so we'll focus on what we wish journalists had done a little earlier: Demand to know where the bombs are. Then you can write the stories about how the call to prayer sounds so, like, medieval.

The prolonged unemployment problem that has plagued Africa for quite a while should be addressed immediately as it has resulted in detrimental effects as discussed in this article. Firstly, lack of work breeds discontent towards the authority and any provocative incident or issue may trigger social unrest and violent demonstrations. This may lead to casualties and destruction of property, especially when the situation is handled improperly by the state. In 1988 after fare increases were declared in Nigeria, the population responded with a demonstration against the administration. Similarly in early 1987 in Zambia, demonstrations started when the government announced that the price of maize meal would be increased.
Unemployment also destroys the family structure as it reduces the self-confidence and social status of a person. It causes lack of funds for basic household maintenance as well as for other essentials, including school fees. The result of all this is constant friction and feuds in the family, usually with one spouse demanding money to pay for housekeeping and food, which an unemployed father cannot provide. Incessant quarrels and nagging ensue, which may lead to separation when the situation doesn't get better.
In an effort to escape away from the desperateness of unemployment, the unemployed usually indulge in alcohol consumption. The stake might eventually get raised to incorporate drug abuse, which has unfavorable effects on the overall health of an unemployed individual. Sustaining the habit of alcohol consumption when one is not employed is also not easy and this could result in prostitution or petty crime.
The following are some proposed solutions to reduce unemployment in Africa.
- Efforts to enhance income and productivity in Africa's informal work sector should be intensified. Governments should also facilitate better access to essentials of production like capital, land and enhanced training and technology to facilitate effective marketing of products.
- African states must pay more attention to mobilizing internal resources and creating a culture of entrepreneurial development. There should also be focus reduced external borrowing due to exercising more fiscal discipline.
- Voluntary work must be offered to keep unemployed citizens occupied. Furthermore, governments must step in to help people find other methods of catering for the needs fulfilled by employment.
- There needs to be enhanced allocation of resources from national budgets to strengthen any employment promotion activity in the country.
- Higher emphasis should be placed on promoting rural employment by providing support to cottage industries and agriculture.
- There should also be an improvement of primary healthcare programs to create the provision of free healthcare for unemployed people.
- Measures should be introduced to expand social welfare programs and unemployment benefits, including rent subsidization and distribution of clothing and food.
- The education system also needs to be restructured to ensure it produces graduates who are capable of creating self-employment.
If the above solutions can be effectively implemented by all African states, the longevity and health of the African population would be preserved and enhanced. Moreover, African governments must create an attractive setting for business entrepreneurs to be able to thrive in as they go about formulating new employment opportunities.

When you're going wireless,it pays to be careful. Get the right hardware,and make sure your network is as secure as you think it is.
Almost everything about the computer industry would amaze our great grandparents, but a wireless network seems especially futuristic. The task of configuring Linux for wireless has gotten easier over the years. Many distributions include special tools for configuring wireless networks. But wireless networking has never been without its share of headaches. The special needs of a wireless network require some special attention from the user.

Patterson selected as NEH Summer Scholar
Amy Edwards Patterson, a communication instructor at Moraine Park Technical College, has been selected as a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Scholar from a national applicant pool to attend one of six NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops. NEH is a federal agency that each year supports summer study opportunities so that faculty can work in collaboration with experts in humanities disciplines. "The NEH Landmarks workshop in Brooklyn will provide me with an excellent opportunity to explore digital pedagogy and place-based education," said Patterson. "Change and preservation, the major themes for the workshop, relate closely to the composition and communication fields, and I look forward to returning to Moraine Park with new ideas, assignments, and activities to share with my students." Patterson will participate in a workshop entitled "Along the Shore: Changing and Preserving the Landmarks of Brooklyn's Industrial Waterfront." The one-week program will be held at the New York City College of Technology of the City University of New York and directed by Dr. Richard E. Hanley. Faculty members selected to participate in the program each receive a $1,200 stipend for travel, study, and living expenses. Patterson resides in Beaver Dam.

March 3, 2011
TUCSON, Ariz. - Now it's the Final Four and a whole lot more for Sean Miller.
The University of Arizona head men's basketball coach won his fourth-round match, 31-30, to advance in the "Shots From the Heart" free throw contest.
Miller made all 25 free throws earlier week, scoring a total of 31 points to defeat Mark Phelps of Drake, who made 24 of 25 and scored 30 points.
"I'm really happy to advance," said Miller. I knew this was going to be a challenging round and I'm still going by the slogan `Don't Miss.' If you want to survive you just can't miss a shot at this point of the tournament."
Through four rounds of action, Miller has made 92-of-100 shots (.920) and has tallied 116 of a possible 124 total points. His score improved in each of the first three rounds, and Miller has recorded perfect scores in each of the last two rounds.
Miller is scheduled to face Buzz Peterson (UNC-Wilmington) in the semifinals. The other semifinal features Fred Hoiberg (Iowa State) vs. Will Brown (Albany). The fifth round of the event was originally slated to begin in March, though there now is a possibility that each of the remaining coaches in this Final Four may shoot it out at the NCAA Final Four festivities in Houston, March 31-April 4.
"Shots from the Heart" is a season-long free throw contest that features 64 participating head coaches bracketed in a tournament-style format. Beginning in November and continuing once monthly through the NCAA Final Four in Houston, coaches will shoot 25 free throws - with varying point values - on their campuses while a departmental staff member will tally and report the results. The coach with the most points scored in each match-up will advance to the next round.
In an effort to avoid ties, the following scoring system will be used: shots 1-20 are worth 1 point each, shots 21-24 are worth two points each, and shot 25 is worth 3 points.
The event is administered by collegeinsider.com in conjunction with Close The Gap, an educational initiative designed to promote awareness about cardiovascular risk factors. Any proceeds from the event will benefit the American Heart Association. For additional tournament information, go to www.collegeinsider.com/shots. There is a tournament for assistant coaches as well.
Miller, who graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1992, finished his career as one of the top 10 free throw shooters in NCAA history. He connected on 317-of-358 (.885) free throw attempts for his career, and he still holds the Pitt record for career free throw percentage. Additionally, Miller is the only player in Pitt history to shoot better than 90 percent from the line in a single season, and he accomplished that feat twice.

There was a unique procession in the Bale Agung Temple of Sibetan customary village, Karangasem on Monday (Jan 28). It was the ritual of invoking a blessing for life known as the Usabha Sri commenced by taking out sanctified effigies from six temples at local village. Each effigy was enthroned in a litter vehicle carried by 28 devotees. Chief of customary village, I Wayan Subhadra, accompanied by Secretary I Made Mas Mastiawan, said the Usabha Sri had an essence to invoke grace through natural fertility in the hope that everything cultivated would give good and marketable crops, consisting of various fruits, tubers and beans.
At the same time was also held the Usabha Muu-uu having the significance of preventing any kinds of disease and plague from entering the village. The ritual used animal sacrifice like cow, dog (of cream colored and black muzzled) and red chicken. The ritual procession was also resumed with Meprani or presenting blayag rice bag and various fruits. It was accompanied with Rejang Dewa dance as well as gong and gambang gamelan music. Then, at the pengebek ritual, it was featured with kris dance performed by three specified residents.
Meanwhile, the sacred dance was the Abwang Lanang presented by 80 villagers that were performing the metuun bunga for 9 rounds. All devotees threw ritual ingredients such as blayag rice bags and fruits to the ritual venue with position of four directions. (BTN/015)

The AT&T Performing Arts Center and AEG Live announced that tickets for Tori Amos – Unrepentant Geraldines Tour are on sale. Tori Amos – Unrepentant Geraldines Tour will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Tues., July 29, 2014 at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House in the Dallas Arts District.
Tori Amos' worldwide tour kicks off in May, with U.S. dates now announced for July and August. Fans will have exclusive access to a ticket pre-sale before the general public on-sale dates by pre-ordering Unrepentant Geraldines on-line. Once a pre-order for the album is placed through http://myplaydirect.com/tori-amos, individuals will later receive a code to grant them access to pre-sales tickets for the U.S. show of their choice.
Tickets range from $59.50 to $39.50 and can be purchased online at www.attpac.org, by phone at 214-880-0202 or in person at the AT&T Performing Arts Center Information Center at 2353 Flora Street (Monday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Tuesday thru Saturday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.).
Tori Amos is set to release her brand new studio album, Unrepentant Geraldines, May 13th in the U.S. on Mercury Classics/Universal Music Classics. Unrepentant Geraldines is pop/rock in both content and feel and is a change in pace from Amos' most recent releases. The album is both one step further in the evolution of one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, and a return to the inspiring and personal music that Amos is known for all around the world.
Unrepentant Geraldines is her 14th studio recording, and a return to her core identity as a creator of contemporary songs, following a series of more classically-inspired and innovative musical projects of the last four years. These have included the seasonal collection Midwinter Graces, the classically influenced Night of Hunters, and Gold Dust, a collection of orchestral re-workings of songs from across her career. Released in October 2012 Gold Dust included "Flavor," which was remixed by the late DJ Peter Rauhofer and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Club Dance Chart in February 2013.
Amos recently also launched her most ambitious project to date as a composer, along with book writer Samuel Adamson, with the musical The Light Princes, which premiered at London's National Theatre in fall of 2013.
Tori Amos has sold over 12 million albums, has played over a thousand shows and has won numerous awards. Since the release of her debut album Little Earthquakes 21 years ago in 1992 where she pushed boundaries with her confessional style of songwriting, Amos continues to be adored, picking up new fans along the way, romanced by her messages of empowerment, tenderness, acerbic assertiveness, and of course her utterly peerless sound.
A pioneer across multiple platforms, Tori Amos was the first major label artist to offer a single for download. She has had her songs turned into graphic novels and has produced groundbreaking videos throughout her career. Ms. Amos is also a noted humanitarian and co-founder of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network), which is the United States' largest anti-sexual assault organization.

HILLSVILLE — This weekend's homework for the Carroll High agricultural students: Make molasses.
Part of their classroom work up to now has been cultivating and harvesting the sorghum to cook up the traditional sweetener.
The ag classes and the Future Farmers of America chapter will carry out their assignment, for extra credit, at Shockley's Old Timey Day on Saturday.
By SHAINA STOCKTON
Social networking is on the rise in the Galax public school system, and not just among the students.
The new Twitter and Facebook pages for the school system have officially launched, and the division's Facebook page already has more than 140 followers.
In a presentation at the Sept. 11 meeting, Galax Middle School Assistant Principal Derrick Spence gave school board members examples of what educators are hoping to accomplish through social media.
According to the No Child Left Behind Act's new Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO), each subgroup of students will have a different target to meet based on the history of how those groups have performed, said Rebecca Cardwell, Galax Schools' assistant superintendent.
That's what makes AMOs different from the federal education act's Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) benchmarks, which no longer apply in Virginia.
HILLSVILLE — Theft of museum pieces worldwide lags only behind the drug trade and gun running in illegal activities, amounting to hundreds of thousands of incidents and a source of funding for major crime syndicates, according to the FBI.
Local investigators can now add a June art theft from the Carroll County Governmental Center to that total, after two pieces of original artwork made by talented public school students mysteriously disappeared, according to educators.
Galax High School' class of 1962 raised money to donate a 12-foot ceiling projector screen and a 55-inch HDTV monitor to their alma mater.
Martha Ward, chair of fundraising and contributions, spoke at a recent Galax School Board meeting about the contribution.
CANA — Given grade realignments at other Carroll County schools, education officials want to know what people think of the grade structure at St. Paul School.
The plan now in place is to close Woodlawn School, consolidate its students with the eighth grade at Carroll County Intermediate and move the ninth graders to the high school at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
That means there will already be a significant amount of grade shuffling going on that year, once the upgrades to the two facilities in Hillsville are finished.
Hundreds of African-American students from Galax, Grayson and Carroll were bused to Scott Memorial and Wytheville Training School until public schools were fully integrated in the early 1960s. The schools held their 60th reunion this weekend.
HILLSVILLE — The Carroll County School Board has no intention for its high school sports teams to take the field against distant Franklin County and Patrick Henry, according to action taken at its August meeting.
The two schools in the Virginia High School League's proposed River Ridge District are too far away and have the advantage of too many more students than Carroll for the playing field to be level, high school Principal Chuck Thompson and members of the school board agreed.
HILLSVILLE — High school teachers cheered the notion that they could move back in after leaving the Carroll County Public Schools "system-wide convocation" and training session on Aug. 3.
On the first workday session, themed "We Are Family," newly-minted Superintendent Strader Blankenship noted that school system employees lean on each other when they find a problem or face a deadline.

(VIDEO) Stefania has the kind of job most envy. She is the buyer, and personal shopper for members of The Sicilian Wing and My Trinacria. In February, August, and October, she fulfills their order requests for Sicilian ceramics, and other Italian treasures.
Members this year sent her on an extra trip to purchase gifts for their Christmas stockings. For quality, she has an excellent eye for detail, and her product knowledge is extensive. Fluent in Italian, she knows exactly what to ask to get members the best price.
Ten out of ten members rate her shopping skills five stars plus. This is total satisfaction.
"I care and understand the needs of members. Giving them what they expect is my priority, with respect for what they would like to spend. Satisfying members, designers, and non-members request from showrooms and boutiques is not as easy as it seems. To make purchases that they could only do themselves personally at a store in Italy, is a tall order," says Stefania the proud buyer.
In the video, come along as Stefania braves weather, traffic, and unlikely situations as she performs what she calls "her fantasy job." Next Christmas instead of giving Santa Claus your list, contact Stefania for a distinctive gift. You too, will see why she is number one among her fellow members. Brava Stefy!

The first therapy and diagnostic practicums (COC 621.1, 621.2) are done in-house, at the College's clinic. Subsequent practicums (COC 621.3, 621.5, 621.6) take place in various settings arranged by the College, such as schools, clinics, and hospitals. Students are directly supervised for no less than 25% of their treatment practicum hours and 50% of diagnostic practicum hours, in all settings.

During the Nov. 17 Senate Budget Committee, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., made the most eloquent and accurate assessment of how the United States developed its current budget problems. He said: "This country does in fact have a serious deficit problem. But the reality is that the deficit was caused by two wars — unpaid for. It was caused by huge tax breaks for the wealthiest people in this country. It was caused by a recession as result of the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior on Wall Street. And if those are the causes of the deficit, I will be damned if we're going to balance the budget on backs of the elderly, the sick, the children, and the poor. That's wrong."
Everyone should read Sanders' statement and ponder how one political party with wealth and power can turn up into down and black into white in such a convincing manner that much of the public actually buys the deception.

Crockett Leads Texas Tech Past Jackson State, 84-75
November 26, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Jaye Crockett came off the bench and scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Texas Tech to an 84-75 come-from-behind win over Jackson State Monday night at the United Spirit Arena.
Crockett, who has been the Red Raiders' high scorer the past three games, got into early foul trouble but helped revive the offense late in the first half.
Dejan Kravic had 16 points, eight rebounds and five blocks for the Red Raiders (4-0), while Josh Gray and Jamal Williams Jr. each added 12 points.
For Gray, it was his fourth straight double-digit scoring effort in as many games to start his career. It is the first time that has happened by a Red Raider since Rick Bullock did it in 1972. Bullock opened his career with five consecutive double-digit efforts before only getting seven points against Kansas in the seventh game of the season.
Gray also tied the school record for steals in a game on Monday night, as the Lake Charles, La., freshman notched seven takeaways, tying the mark set twice by Ronald Ross, most recently in 2004 against UTEP. Through four games, Gray has 16 steals, which is a 4.0 average and leads the Big 12 Conference.
Christian Williams led the Tigers (0-3) with 22 points, 18 of which came from behind the 3-point line. Derrell Taylor added 18 points and eight rebounds.
Gray had two steals in the first two minutes of the second half that helped the Red Raiders to an 11-0 run. They kept the lead the rest of the way.
The win made head coach Chris Walker one of just two coaches in the 88-year history of the Red Raider program that have started their first full year at the helm 4-0.
Texas Tech returns to action on Saturday, as the Red Raiders host No. 9 Arizona at the United Spirit Arena at 7 p.m. in a game being called the "White Out."

THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Speeches Of the Malefactors Executed at Tyburn, On Monday the 8th of June 1719.
AT the Sessions held at Justice Hall in the Old-Baily, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 14th, 15th, and 16th of May, 1719, among the Persons then and there Try'd, Ten (that is, 7 Men and 3 Women) who were found guilty of divers Capital Crimes, did accordingly receive Sentence of Death: But Five of them being Repriev'd, viz. 2 of the Women upon account of their Pregnancy, and the other Woman, with two of the Men, by the Mercy of THEIR EXCELLENCIES THE LORDS JUSTICES (which Mercy I hope and heartily wish they may duly improve.) Five are now order'd for Execution.
While they were under this melancholy State of Condemnation, I constantly visited them, and had them twice every day brought up to the Chapel of Newgate, where I read Prayers, and expounded the Word of God to them, endeavouring to perswade them now to live agreeably to it, who hitherto (as it appear'd) had highly offended. against it.
On the Lord's Day the 24th of May last, I preached to them and others there present, both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon Psal. 86. 12, 13. Of which Text having given an Account in my Paper concerning John Wheeler, who suffer'd on the Day immediately following, I shall not need say any more of it here: But proceed to the next.
On Friday the 29th of the same Month, being the Anniversary Day of K. CHARLES the IId's Blessed Nativity and Happy Restauration: I preached on part of the Gospel appointed for the Service of that Day, viz. St. Matth. 22. 21, 22. Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar, the Things which are Caesar's; and unto GOD, the Things that are GOD's. When they had heard these Words, they marvelled, and left Him, and went their way.
Those Words of our Blessed Saviour to the Pharisees Disciples, and the Herodians, I first explain'd in general with their Context; and then consider'd in particular these three Things chiefly, viz.
(Price Two Pence.)
I. The Question propos'd to CHRIST at the 17th Verse, thus worded, Is it lawful to give Tribute unto Caesar, or no?
II. CHRIST's wise Answer to that Captious and insnaring Question, Viz. Render unto Caesar the Things which are Caesar's; and unto GOD the Things that are GOD's.
III. Ult. The admirable Effect of that Answer; which was, That when they had heard these Words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
After I had enlarged upon those Points, and distinctly explained them, I endeavour'd to make my Auditory sensible of the indispensable Obligation incumbent on all of us to be Thankful to ALMIGHTY GOD for the Blessing, which by our Church, is this Day commemorated, and which (through a Series of Providences) has brought in this greater, viz. that of our having now on the Throne, so Wise, so Just, and so Excellent a MONARCH (Our Most Gracious KING GEORGE, Whom GOD long preserve) to rule over us. When I had done discoursing upon this Subject, I concluded the Whole with suitable Admonitions to the Condemn'd Prisoners; exhorting them to consider, How they had broke the Laws of GOD and of the KING, and how it behoved them therefore to repent and amend their Lives, before their Dissolution (now approaching) should come.
On the Lord's Day the 31st of the said Month of May, I preached again to them, and others there present, both in the Morning and Afternoon; and this was my Text. 1 Joh. 3. 3. Every man that hath this Hope in him, purifieth himself, even as He is Pure.
From which Words, first explained in general, I shew'd in particular.
How a Man may know, whether he shall go to Heaven; and that is by treading in the Paths that lead thither; which are these, viz.
I. A just Conformity to CHRIST's Purity and Holiness.
II. A continual Striving after the Attainment of the utmost Perfection thereof (as far as possible) in the due Exercise of Christian Love.
III. And lastly, A constant Perseverance therein; being perswaded of this comfortable Truth; That the more we love GOD and our Neighbour, the clearer Vision and the fuller Fruition we shall have of the DIVINE MAJESTY, when we come to Heaven; and, the more we are like to CHRIST in Grace here, the higher we shall sit by Him in Glory hereafter.
And Yesterday, being the 7th of this instant June, and the Second Sunday after Trinity, I Preached to them again, both in the Forenoon and Afternoon; taking my Text out of the Gospel appointed for that Day, viz. St. Luke 14. 16, 17. Verses, and part of the 18th Verse. Then saith He unto him, A certain Man made a great Supper, and bad many: And sent his Servant at Supper-time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are uow ready. And they all with one Consent, began to make excuse.
From this Text and the Context, wherein our Blessed Saviour sets forth His Parable of the great Supper, I observ'd, these Chief Things; viz.
I. The Person Inviting.
II. The Thing He Invites to.
III. The Company Invited.
IV. The Place of Invitation.
V. Ult. The unworthy Refusal made by them that were Invited.
In my Explanation of those several Particulars, I shew'd How in that Parable Our Blessed Saviour sets forth this great Truth, viz. That ALMIGHTY GOD lovingly invites Men to His Kingdom of Glory and Happiness, and They often unworthily reject His most gracious Invitation, as being more taken with the Things of the Earth here below, than with those infinitely better Things that are in Heaven above.
Having enlarged upon all those Points, and endeavour'd to incline the Hearts of my Hearers to obey CHRIST's Call, and accept of the Felicity they were invited to, by HIM in whose Presence is fulness of Joy, and at whose Right Hand there are Pleasures for evermore; I did, for a Conclusion of the Whole, in a special manner apply my self to the Persons Condemned, whom I exhorted, more and more to take an impartial Survey of their past vicious Lives, seriously to consider their present dismal Condition because they had Sinned, and effectually labour to prevent their future miserable State, and obtain (through CHRIST's Merits) a Life of Endless Happiness in the next World, by making a wise Use of their few remaining (and therefore precious) Moments in this; that they might be at Peace with GOD, with their Neighbour, and with their own Consciences, before their Great Change came, which was now so near at hand.
As they were attentive to my publick, so likewise to my private Instructions and Admonitions, wherein I represented to them the Deformity, Odiousness, and lamentable Consequences of Vice on the one hand, and the Beauty, Loveliness, and blessed Effects of True Religion and Virtue on the other; shewing them, that according as they now lived and dy'd, they should be either Happy, or Miserable for ever. In these they were fully taught, and seem'd to be very clear: And I hope they were most (if not all) of them well dispos'd.
The respective Accounts which they gave me of Themselves are as follow.
1. Henry Broom, condemn'd upon Five Indictments, viz. First, For breaking open the House of Mr. Samuel Russel, and taking thence 6 Pair of Holland Sheets, 11 Holland Shirts, 11 China Plates, and other Goods, on the 15th of December last. Secondly, For a like Burglary by him committed in the House of Mr. James Lamb, stealing thence a Sett of Crimson Damask-Window-Curtains, a Sett of other Window-Curtains of Straw-Colour, a Silver Tea-Pot, a Silver-Mug, a Silver-Porringer, 5 Silver-Spoons, 15 Gold-Rings, and
other Things, amounting to a considerable Value, on the 21st. of that Month of December: Thirdly, For another Burglary (much of the same Nature with the former) which he committed in the House of Mrs. Mary Jackson, taking thence 7 Silver-Spoons, some Silk-Window-Curtains, &c. on the 9th of April last: Fourthly, For a like Burglary in breaking open the House of Mrs. Elizabeth Gordon, and stealing thence 4 yellow Silk-Curtains, a China Bason, a Sugar Dish, and other Goods, on the 19th of the said Month of April last: And Fifthly, For breaking, in like manner, the House of Mr. Claude Hays, and taking thence 57 pound Weight of wrought Turkey-Silk, value 50 l. &c. of all which Facts, and of many more, he confess'd he was guilty, particularly of that (not yet discover'd) which a little before last Christmas, he committed in Mr Webb a Weaver's House over-against the Broad way in Spittlefields, which he broke open about 2 or 3 in the Morning, and stole from thence 5 Pieces of Garden Sattin, 2 Piece of plain Sattin, 57 Yards of white Mantue-Silk, and other Silks, amounting together to a great Value, which he sold for 30 l. only to two Women, that now keep out of the way. He said, That though he had done many ill Things, yet he never was punished by the Hand of Justice before now but once, when he received a Whipping for a small Felony; for all other Criminal Facts he had committed, came but lately to be made known. And further, this Account he gave of himself. He said, he was 23 Years of Age, born in the Parish of St. Ann in Westminster; and brought up to the Sea : That in the last Reign he serv'd two Years on Board the Sea-Horse, a 6th Rate Ship, whereof Captain Arundel was then Commander: That when he was discharged from his Sea Service, he lived at Land, and continued without any Employment for a considerable Time: That not knowing what Shift to make for a Livelihood, he betook himself (by the Instigation of other wicked Men) to very ill Courses, and had within these 4 Years past, committed several Burglaries and Robberies; and in those pernicious Practices, was so far engag'd, that though he more than once resolved against them, yet could not leave them off. Upon which I told him, That this must needs arise from his not using diligently the proper Means, by which he might have obtained Spiritual Strength to resist all Temptations to Sin. What those Proper Means were, and what he should now do in order to have all his Sins Pardon'd and his Soul sav'd, I laid before him, and I hope he follow'd my Directions herein. He told me, that he daily was endeavouring to make Satisfaction to the Persons he had robb'd, by giving them such Informations as he could, of their Goods; of which (he said) the Evidence against him, now in New-Prison, might give better; if not, he fear'd those Goods could not be had again, and he was sorry for it. He begg'd Pardon of God for all his Transgressions, which he declar'd to be no other, than such as most Men were subject to, saving the Crimes beforementioned, which he also pray'd Them, whom he had thus wrong'd, to forgive him.
2. John Wood, condemned with Stephen Margrove, hereafter mention'd, for an Assault and Robbery by them jointly committed on the Person of George Smith, taking from him 22 Shillings on the 18th of January last, He said he was 22 years of age, born at Winchester; That he came up to London when very Young: That soon after he got into Service , and lived several Years (alternately) with divers Honourable Persons, by whom he was entertain'd, sometimes in the Capacity of a Footman , at other times in that of a Butler , and often in both those Capacities at once; and, That the last Service he was in, he quitted about 9 Months ago on account of his Lady's disliking of him. He protested, That he was Innocent of the Fact he stood Condemned for, but at the same time freely confess'd he had been (otherwise) an Ill-liver, as having frequently profaned the Lords-day, much neglected the Service of God, both publick and private, and often yielded to the Devil's Temptations, by which he was brought to the Commission of those Sins so common among Men, and so heinous withal, viz. Swearing, Cursing, Drinking, Adultery, Fornication, &c. All. which he said he now abhorr'd, and truly repented of; praying God to for
give him all his Sins of what degree or nature soever. And here (after he had long persisted in his Denial of the Crime he was to suffer for) he at last acknowledged it, and the Justice of his Sentence upon it; adding, That of late he had made it his Wicked Practice, by using some undecent Gestures, to induce Men to Sodomy, whom he fancy'd might be inclinable that way, as if he would have yielded his Body to that foul Act; but when he had taken the Money agreed upon beetween them for it, he deceived them, and told them, that he was not for their Sport; and he must have more of their Money, or else he would accuse them, and defame them When he now came to himself, and consider'd this, and other his heinous Offences, he express'd great grief for them, as Stephen Margrove, (hereafter mention'd) did for his, who had committed the like Undecency and Cheat.
3. Stephen Margrove, condemned for the same Fact, committed with the said John Wood. He said, he was 21 Years of Age, born in Catherine-Wheel-Yard in the Parish of St. James in Westminster: That he had been 6 Years a Servant in a Coffee-house near Charing-Cross; and afterwards lived with a Gentleman for sometime: That having quitted this Service, he got into another, which was that of waiting on a Cornet in the Regiment of Dragoons then at Worcester: That the said Regiment being broke, his Master the Cornet, who had no further occasion for him, discharg'd him about a Twelve-month ago: That from that time he remain'd without any Employment, saving, that (now and then) he did some Business for One that kept a Toy-shop at Tunbridge; and that, when out of Service, he lived mostly upon his Friends; some giving him Victuals, others Lodging, and others Washing. He deny'd the Fact he stood condemn'd for, and said, he never was guilty of any such Crime, nor any other; and, That he was not in the least addicted to the common Vices of Swearing, Cursing, Drinking, keeping Company with lewd Women, &c. But after his loud Protestation of Innocence as to this Robbery, he at last confess'd his being concern'd in it; adding, That he had often allured Men (whom he supposed to be given) to Sodomy, but never suffer'd them to proceed to that foul Act with him, his Intent being only to get some Money, which he extorted from them by threatning them, much in the same manner as John Wood did. He acknowledg'd this was a great Offence, and therefore humbly begg'd Pardon of God, and all he had offended, to whom he could make no other Satisfaction.
4. Richard Williams, condemned for Assaulting and Robbing Mr. Ralph Courtney, taking from him 42 Shill. on the 9th of April last. He said, he was 21 Years of Age, born in the City of Hereford, and lived there with his Father 'till about 6 Years ago, at which time he came up to London, and was bound Apprentice to a Brazier : That after he had served two Years of his Apprenticeship, his Master dying, he got into another Service, and always behav'd himself honestly. He at first deny'd the Fact he stood condemn'd for, but afterwards confess'd he was guilty of it: And further declar'd, That for these two Years past he had been acquainted with John Wood and Stephen Margrove (beforementioned) and used their filthy and cheating Practices; but said he never committed that foul Sin of Sodomy, though he made a Shew, as if he would have inticed other Men into it; but it was only to get their Money. He said, he was sensible this was a great Offence, and therefore begg'd Pardon for it; as likewise for the Sins of Swearing Drunkenness, Profanation of the Lord's Day, and neglecting of all Holy Duties, &c. of which, he told me, he repented from his Heart, and that he hop'd, GOD for CHRIST's sake (as he humbly implored) would be merciful to him, and forgive him.
5. Abraham Wood, condemned for Assaulting Mr. John Brown on the High-way, and taking from him a Hat, a Silver Buckle, 2 Handkerchiefs, and 8 Shill. in Money, on the 10th of May last. He said, he was 19 Years of of Age, born at Epping in Essex: That his Father dying when he was very young, and leaving his Mother very poor, with 6 small Children; the Parish bound him Apprentice for 14 Years to a Shoemaker in Little George-Ally in Spittlefields: That he serv'd 8 Years of his Time, and then went from him, grew very loose, and had been so for these 2 or 3 Years past: That after he had thus left his Master, he served a Drover ; but indeed his chief Employ
ment within that Time, was that of Pilfering and picking of People's Pockets. He further confess'd, That he had altogether neglected the Service of God, had profaned the Lord's Day, and been too much given to Swearing, Drinking, and Whoring. And as to the Fact he stood Condemned for, he did in effect confess it; saying, That he follow'd Mr. Brown with an Intent to rob him, but did not do it himself; his two Companions (not yet taken) he suppos'd, did it. He was very ignorant, and could not so much as read, and seemed at first very little concern'd; but afterwards he became more serious, and express'd great Sorrow for his Sins, which he pray'd God to forgive him for CHRIST's sake.
At the Place of Execution, to which they were carry'd from Newgate (in two Carts) this Day, I attended them for the last time; and two of them, viz. John Wood and Richard Williams, declar'd to me (as they had done twice before) That Edward Irons, who is accused to have robb'd a Porter on the Highway, and taken from him a Neckcloth and two Shillings and Six Pence in Money, is innocent of that Fact: That themselves, with another lately gone into the Country, were the only Persons who did it; and, That the said Edward Irons was no ways concern'd with them in it. After they had made this Declaration, I pray'd by them, and desir'd them all to clear their Consciences in every thing. To which they answer'd, They had no more to say, but that they died in Charity with all Men; and desired the Spectators would pray for them, and that all (young Men especially) might take Warning by them. Which they having said, I pray'd for them again, and sung some Penitential Psalms with them: I also made them rehearse the Apostles Creed, and wish'd they might obtain that Life Everlasting, which they had now profess'd to believe; and, That the LORD JESUS CHRIST would please to say to every one of their Souls (as He once did to the Penitent Thief on the Cross) To day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. Thus having recommended them to the DIVINE GOODNESS and MERCY, I withdrew, and left them to their private Devotion, for which they had some time allotted them; and just as the Cart was drawing away, each of them earnestly cry'd to GOD for Pardon and Grace, in these and the like Ejaculations. LORD, have Mercy upon me! LORD, comfort thou me with thy Spirit! LORD JESUS, wash away my Sins in thy most precious Blood! LORD, he thou my Helper! LORD, I come, I come! LORD JESU, receive my Soul! &c.
This is all the Account here to be given of these Dying Malefactors by me,
