THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour and Declaration of Nathanael Parkhurst, Esq ;
Who was Executed at TYBURN on Friday the 20th of May, 1715, for the barbarous Murder by him committed upon the Body of Count Lewis Pleuro in the Fleet-Prison, on the 3d of March last.
AT the late general Sessions held at Justice-Hall in the Old-Baily, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th of April last past, Eighteen Persons (viz. Twelve Men and Six Women) were condemn'd for Capital Crimes, and among the rest the Gentleman who is now the Subject of this melancholy Paper. Of these eighteen Criminals, seven Men and one Woman were Executed at Tyburn on Wednesday the 11th instant, (of whom I have already given an Account) and nine were Repriev'd, besides the Person of whom I am now giving the following Relation.
He said, he was 39 Years of age, born at Catesby near Daventry in Northamptonshire, came of a good and honourable Family, and had an Education (at Wadham College in Oxford, and elsewhere) suitable to his Birth, but did not make the right Use of it; for falling into bad Company, and being too conversant with Men of Erroneous and Dangerous Principles, who ridicul'd all Religion, denying the Immortality of the Soul, and even our Lord JESUS CHRIST, and looking upon his Gospel (and indeed the whole Book of
GOD) as an idle Romance, he was thereby soon induced to all manner of Debauchery and Sensuality. And by these vicious and irregular Ways of Living, so displeasing to GOD, so scandalous to the Christian Religion, (which he outwardly profess'd) and so hurtful to the World in general, and to his own Soul in particular, he wasted his Substance, dull'd his Spirits, weaken'd his Faculties, and at last brought himself into such a melancholy state and discomposure of Mind, that a little before he committed this barbarous Murder, he had resolv'd within himself to kill some Body or other, and make his Escape out of the Fleet, where he was a Prisoner for Debt; or, if he could not effect that, to lay violent hands upon himself, as being weary of his Life.
When he was come to a more sober Temper, and was sensible of his miserable Condition, he own'd, his Sins were very great and heinous, (and particularly that of Murdering a Person who gave him no Provocation) saying, That he heartily repented, and pray'd GOD to forgive him for CHRIST's sake, in removing the Guilt from his Soul which he had thereby contracted, and giving him Grace, that in this World he might make a good End, and in the next enjoy that Felicity which is to have no End.
He would often say, (and that too before he had duly consider'd his Sinful State) That he was very willing and ready to die; and, That if Life or Death were put to his Choice, he would chuse to embrace the latter; for he could have no Prospect that the Miseries he had undergone for these Twenty Years past would have an end, but with his Life: And therefore (saving the Shame of this his Untimely Death) it rejoic'd his Heart to see himself so near his Dissolution and Deliverance. Upon which I told him, I wish'd he would seriously consider What it was to die, and What was to follow after Death, that he might not launch into another World without a sure Guide, namely, the Spirit of Grace, purifying his Soul, and enabling him to make a due Preparation for his great approaching Change;
a thing he ought so much the more earnestly to pray for, by how much it was of weighty and important Concern to him; which, if neglected and lost now, could never be repair'd or retriev'd hereafter. I advis'd him, impartially and without Flattery to examin himself in a strict and exact manner about the several Passages and lamentable Miscarriages of his former Life, the present Condition and Disposition he found himself in as to his Repentance, and what Thoughts he had of his future Eternal State, that was so near at hand. To which he answer'd, That though he had not, nor could ever have, a clear Idea of the State to come, yet as he heartily repented of all his Sins (this in particular for which he is now to die) and resign'd up himself to God's Will and Pleasure, so he hoped to receive Pardon and Salvation thro' Christ's Merits. And herein he desir'd me to put up earnest Prayers to God for him.
I constantly visited him, and at several times found him in several Tales, and in very different Dispositions: Sometimes he was calm and easie, willing to hear of his Faults, and receive good Advice with Patience and Submission; and at other times express'd a great deal of Anger and Uneasiness, and very much reflected upon some of his Relations, as supposing they might, if they would, have sav'd his Life; which, tho' he had told me before he was not desirous of, yet I now perceiv'd he would have been glad to have preserv'd it; and was very much discompos'd when he found the Report of some of his Acquaintance not to be true, who told him, there was a Second Reprieve obtain'd for him. And whilst he was in this sad Perplexity and fretting Humour, he went on with his Reflections upon his Relations, attributing all the Miscarriages of his past Life, and present sad Circumstances, to their Unkindness towards him; and so ran from one thing to another, that he appear'd to be at that time very much disturb'd in his Spirit; and himself own'd, That he had a thousand Thoughts at once flowing in like Billows upon his Mind. Hereupon I endeavour'd to quiet him, and bring him into a better Composure, and to that end did
often pray with him, begging of GOD, that He would be pleas'd to rectifie all his Disorders, and renew a right Spirit within him: At last his disquieting Cogitations and heated Passions seem'd to be pretty well allay'd, and he well dispos'd to die.
In my private Admonitions and publick Sermons, which I preach'd during the time of his Confinement in Newgate, among other things, I particularly shew'd, How Men ought every where to repent; and, That the greatest of Sinners, such as were guilty of Murder, &c. had so much the more Occasion so to do; that they sincerely endeavouring to bring up their Repentance to the high degree of their Sins, might pacifie the Wrath of GOD, and obtain His Favour, which is better than Life it self.
At the Place of Execution (whither he went this Day in a Mourning-Coach with me) I discharg'd for the last time my Ministerial Office to him, earnestly exhorting him to stir up himself to GOD, in an humble Acknowledgment and thorow Repentance of all his Sins, and in an earnest imploring the Divine Mercy: I pray'd by him, sung some Penitential Psalms with him, made him rehearse the Apostles Creed, and wish'd him that Forgiveness of Sin and Life Everlasting he had now profess'd the Belief of; and finally recommending his Soul to GOD, I put up this Prayer for him, That he might be deliver'd from Blood-guiltiness, and all other Sins; have a safe Passage out of this miserable World, and a happy Entrance into the Everlasting Habitations.
When I had done praying in the Cart with him, I withdrew from him, who made no other Speech to the People there than this, That the Small pox, which he had about 20 Years ago, left such an Infirmity in his Head, that he never was perfectly well; so desir'd the Prayers of all the Standers-by for his departing Soul. Which having said, he apply'd himself in private Prayer to GOD: Then the Cart drew away, while he was uttering these and the like Ejaculations; Lord, have Mercy upon me; Lord, save me!
NB. Among the several pious Books which he perus'd, he stem'd to be most affected with one entitul'd The Christian Monitor, containing Directions and Exhortations to a Holy Living and Holy Dying; which Book, he said, he wish'd he had read before, for if he had, he might have avoided many Sins, done many good Deeds, and never have come to this shameful untimely End.
After he had receiv'd Sentence of Death, he desir'd little Company besides me, and (in his Retirement) much exercis'd himself in Acts of Devotion; for a furtherance whereto he had diverse Books of Prayers, which he constantly look'd over: But that he most frequenely read, and found most Comfort in, was a Prayer that is at the end of the Charitable Visit to the Prisons. A Book which (together with the Christian Monitor, and other short Treatises of Godliness) the honourable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Reformation of Manners, take care to distribute among Prisoners, and other poor People. The Prayer is this:
O Most righteous and merciful Lord God, the Creator, Ruler, and Judge of the World; I humbly own Thy Justice, as also that of Man, in bringing me under that Condemnation, which by my own Sins and Offences I have deserv'd, and have none to blame so much as myself. Thou art righteous, O God, but I have sinned. In the midst of Judgment remember Mercy; and suffer me not to seek Thee in vain: It were most just in Thee now to laugh at my Calamity, and not answer me, tho' I should make many Prayers in this my Distress, because Thou hast call'd, and I have refus'd, and have set at Nought Thy Counsels, and regarded Iniquity in my Heart, and practis'd it in my Life, and turn'd away my Ears from hearkening to Thy Law. 'Tis very late, O Lord, O let it not be too late, that I now seek unto Thee. I am deeply affected with the Terrors of Death approaching, and concern'd greatly at the awful Thoughts of Thy strict and righteous Judgment, and believing the future State of Rewards and Punishments, being sensible also of my great and many Sins; I am greatly afraid of Thy Wrath, which is reveal'd from Heaven against all Unrighteousness and Ungodliness, and in particular is threaten'd against such Sins as I have liv'd in, which I now desire, with Shame and Grief of Soul, humbly to confess before Thy Throne of Grace, &c. For the rest, see at the end of a Book entitled, A Charitable Visit to the Prisons.
Before the Day of his Death, I endeavour'd to perswade him to leave something in Writing behind him, concerning his past Life and Conversation; with an Admonition to such Sinners as he had been too too much acquainted with; but he said, What he had confess'd to me (being given to the World in the manner I should think fit) would be sufficient; and, he hop'd Men of loose Principles and wicked Lives would (as he wish'd they might) take Warning by his Fall. But as for himself, he did not think fit to write any thing; and if after his Death any Papers were put out under his Name, besides this Account, he would not have the World believe he had wrote them.
This is all the Account here to be given of this (I hope) Penitent Gentleman, by me,
Friday, May 20. 1715.

HUNDREDS of visitors flocked to Bury United Reformed Church at the weekend to relive the very first Christmas.
More than 600 people of all ages travelled back in time to enjoy the traditional story of Mary and Joseph at this year's Bethlehem Live exhibition.
The free annual event, now in its second year, saw members of 12 Bury churches come together to stage a live exhibition telling the Christmas story with a modern twist.
Organiser Rod Fairbrother said: "Our objective as churches is to put out the real message of Christmas and it was brilliant.
"The people who put it on worked really hard and were very creative."
On Friday evening, about 200 pupils from primary schools in Radcliffe and Bury attended a preview of the exhibition and the doors of the church in Parsons Lane opened to the public from 10am to 4pm on Saturday.
Guests were led on a shepherd's guide around various scenes in the worship area, including a Bethlehem market, a Roman centurion office and Herod's Palace.
Children were able to stroke the animals, such as sheep, goats and hens, in the church car park.
Minister of Bury United Reformed Church, Rev Ruth Wollaston, said: "Bethlehem Live is a modern pageant which tells the Christmas story in a way which is fun and that people can easily understand and enjoy.
"On the lower floor, visitors came to the significant part of the story, the shepherds, angels, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. It was beautiful to watch.
"Our church is a modern building which only opened in 2007 so it is a fully multi-purpose building which is ideal."
The number of visitors equalled last year's debut event and it is hoped even more will attend in the future.

Black and white photographs throughout.
Very much open to interpretation.
Photography is a passion. I have a simple approach where the 'Decisive moment' is key, and my intention is to say as much as possible and awaken a deep level of understanding within the viewer. If you are reminded of a person, a place, a moment past or yet to come, then I have achieved my aim. (Oh...and I sometimes make storybooks too)

User reviews on Olympus Has Fallen
3rd Street Cinema
Santa Rosa, Ca 95401
Price___$3.50 All Day Every Day
Unless you are nothing like me and you decide to bring a Date on Wed. Night "Date Night" then you could spend $10.00 for 2 Tickets, 2 small Soda and 2 small popcorn ! What a Great Deal.
"Die Hard" with a character who actually knows how to gather equipment alone the way and use it. In the movie the Whitehouse gets destroyed, but it's time we had a new one to replace the retro-fitted relic, which would better serve as a museum. With times being what they are, the President deserves a living quarters hardened to withstand the assault depicted in the movie.
I Did Not Like my experience at the atl theater on camp creek the people were shouting at the screen and making rude comments about
the peole and the movie! I wish I went somewhere else! They do NOT turn on any air in the summer. Fights break out there! you can see it on youtube!
I think this is Antoine Fuqua master peace... The story, the acting and the dialog blows that GI Joe monstrosity out of the water… Forget the bad reviews. This is a good movie
Morgan Freeman as a president. I thought Obama was a joke.
Don't waste your time seeing this movie. Very predictable and reflective of the current administration's aattitude towards everything - the military, the ability of one super-heroic guy (no women truly involved in 'getting it right'), who takes down dozens of bad guy North Koreans.
Even one ridiculously difficult head- shot with a glock-style pistol at over 50 yards on a female sniper with a scope. Anyone shooting a glock knows there is not that kind of super-natural accuracy inherrent in the gun.
But the script is dull, the fighting boring, even the hand-to-hand representations, when compared to any Strathan or Bourne movie. . Plus there is the obligatory smack down the the miilitary while faking patriotism, that seems obligatory these days. . Be aware they are trying to pull all your strings to make you hate the terrorists and support the stupid actions of the President and acting President.
The only thing this movie does, is try to make a case why the government needs to buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (enough for a 24 year Iraq war).
The poor White House just can't be kept safe. If it's not alien invaders, it's Middle Eastern terrorists; and now we have a new enemy: the North Koreans! Let's call them Kim Jong Kick Ass.
In Olympus Has Fallen we have a patently absurd popcorn movie scenario in which the White House is stormed by North Korean terrorists who have taken the President hostage. But that's not the most unbelievable part: the crazy thing is that the President of the United States is a White Guy! And he's Aaron Eckhart no less. Imagine Mitt Romney but with better hair.
His secret service guy is played by Gerard Butler, so you know right off the bat that this is gonna go into macho overdrive very soon. But Butler seems little interested in protecting the President. He really just wants to kick some Commie Korean booty. It's derivative and crude – and yes, it's designed to be. So the target audience will like what it sees.
Morgan Freeman pops up as the first African American Speaker of the House. He also pretty much just sleep walks through his role. But if the actors seem bizarrely understated for such an over-the-top enterprise, the action sequences don't disappoint. For anyone who likes to see the Most Powerful Man on Earth in mortal peril, this is the movie for you. It's Die Hard in the White House on steroids and sans the recently geriatric delusion.
I was quite excited to see this film and had high expectations for it, however I was disappointed in the end and I do not think it is worth seeing in the theaters. The film was extremely predictable and it felt that I have seen this film many times before. The patriotism in the film felt superficial and the dialogue was quite lame and predictable. My boyfriend thought that the film was very entertaining but i just could not get over the fact that it was incredibly dumb and there was no logic in it whatsoever. Overall, I think this film was quite silly and I do not recommend seeing it.
I have to say that I had a good time watching this film and if you want to see an entertaining thriller this is a film for you. Do not expect this film to be smart or original and just leave your brain in the lobby and if you do that, I guarantee that you will have a great time. The film was definitely suspenseful and the action scenes were absolutely great, and I really enjoyed Gerry Butler as a secret agent, he was very believable. The pace of the film was great and I was definitely not bored while watching this movie. Overall, if you like thrillers, I recommend seeing this one in the theaters.

In this paper we describe our efforts in reducing and correcting OCR errors in the context of building a large multilingual heritage corpus of Alpine texts which is based on digitizing the publications of various Alpine clubs. We have already digitized the yearbooks of the Swiss Alpine Club from its start in 1864 until 1995 with more than 75,000 pages resulting in 29 million running words. Since these books have come out continuously, they represent a unique basis for historical, cultural and linguistic research. We used commercial OCR systems for the conversion from the scanned images to searchable text. This poses several challenges. For example, the built-in lexicons of the OCR systems do not cover the 19th century German spelling, the Swiss German spelling variants and the plethora of toponyms that are characteristic of our text genre. We also realized that different OCR systems make different recognition errors. We therefore run two OCR systems over all our scanned pages and merge the output. Merging is especially tricky at spots where both systems result in partially correct word groups. We describe our strategies for reducing OCR errors by enlarging the systems' lexicons and by two post-correction methods namely, merging the output of two OCR systems and auto- correction based on additional lexical resources.

AN ARTIST who gave up painting professionally for nearly 20 years in favour of a 'steady job' has taken the plunge and set up his own gallery.
Shaun Rowley, 39, of Vernon Road, Worsbrough Bridge, has opened the Newburgh Gallery, on Dodworth Road.
He opened the gallery to sell his own paintings, and to create a forum for other local artists to sell their work. He also sells a wide selection of home and gift ware.
He used to earn a living from his paintings but left to work at a petrol station, and later as an events supervisor.

If you're looking to dazzle your loved one this Valentine's Day with more than just your typical box of chocolates and a schmaltzy line from Hallmark then you'll want to check out Frank Olivier's Twisted Cabaret & Pandemonium Vaudeville Show.
As the name suggest, Twisted Cabaret promises an impetuous evening of cabaret, burlesque and theater. And at the center of it all is Frank Olivier who suddenly finds a new love interest that he is determined to win over.
Olivier (who has been seen in Broadway's "Sugar Babies," "The Tonight Show," "Ellen," and others) works his eclectic charm like no other - swallowing swords, performing magic tricks, defying gravity and grace on a unicycle, and of course, doing it all with humor and well-placed comedic flare.
Twisted Cabaret zigzagged its way into Seattle this past weekend to the delight of many looking to spice up their entertainment options. With Valentine's Day fast approaching there's no doubt that Olivier will add even more spice - and a few more twists - for all of the romantically inclined in the crowd.
If you're not into the whole Valentine thing, there's no need to fret. This 90-minute ride offers plenty of fun for everyone - including families with youngsters over the age of eight.
Twisted Cabaret runs through Feb. 23 at Hale's Palladium in Fremont. Check out www.twistedcabaret.com for showtimes and tickets.

One of my favorite flavors is chipotle. It's so warm and sweet and smokey, it's in a class of its own. I find that most folks who don't enjoy spicy-hot food still usually enjoy chipotle. It matches well with foods that are cooling, which is why cucumbers and chipotle turn out to be pretty good friends. And it just so happens that in gardens around the country, cucumbers are growing on the vine at this very moment. (Mine are just babies, thanks to our northern growing zone…can't wait to be able to pick them!) Pick a few up at a farmers' market and try out this zesty little number, a perfect topping for a bed of greens; it is a favorite every time it's served at our healthy weight loss program .
Chipotle "Pickles" – serves about 3
1 English seedless cucumber, sliced thin (These are the long, straight ones. You can use conventional cucumbers, too, but I would peel them and remove the seeds before use.)
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar OR cider vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder OR several dashes of chipotle Tabasco
a dash of dried or fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and let sit for at least an hour before enjoying. Also wonderful pureed as a dressing for a spinach salad.
Are you a chipotle fan, too? Try out my chipotle hummus recipe from last month. What's your favorite chipotle recipe?

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Hawes, Hampton (Hampton Barnet, Jr.)
Hampton Hawes had a fascinating piano style which combined the stride and swing elements of Earl Hines, gospel and blues, with a virtuosic right hand that ventured to reconstruct the horn lines of his major bebop influence, Charlie Parker. Hawes's brand of jazz was profoundly rhythmic, carefully based on the changes, and featured a distinctive swing often more reminiscent of a horn player than a pianist.
Equally fascinating were the events of Hawes's personal life. After producing some of the most revered West-Coast jazz recordings of the 1950s, Hawes received a stern ten-year prison sentence on drug charges in 1958. Four years later, Hawes received a rather miraculous presidential pardon from John F. Kennedy, at which point he immediately returned to the jazz scene, where he resumed prodigious musical activity until his death from a stroke in 1977.
Hampton Barnet Hawes, Jr. was born in Los Angeles, California on November 13, 1928 to a minister father and church pianist mother. He devotion to the church was evident early but ultimately short-lived. As he recalls in his autobiography, "When I was six I was given a little gold Sunday school pin which was the reward you got for a year's good attendance. But three years later I had stopped going to church Sundays and was listening to Freddie Slack, Fats Waller and Earl Hines playing his 'Boogie Woogie on St. Louis Blues'."
Upon entering high school, Hawes studied with famed Los Angeles music educator Samuel Brown, whose other students included Don Cherry, Charles Lloyd, Wardell Gray and Art Farmer, among others. By his mid teens, Hawes was already drawing interest as a professional player, and in 1944 was invited to perform with Big Jay McNeeley. Although McNeeley recalls Hawes as sounding a bit like Nat King Cole in his early days, his early days as a ragtime/swing/gospel pianist were about to be altered by his introduction to the burgeoning bebop style.
Childhood friend Eric Dolphy introduced Hawes to the recordings of Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, and it was the latter that quickly became Hawes's principal musical influence. From 1945 on, Hawes immersed himself in the bebop world, yet his location on the west coast and his fascination with adapting Parker's playing to the piano allowed him to pursue a personal style that, while indebted to pianist Bud Powell, was never derivative of bebop piano's originators.
Not long after hearing and absorbing Charlie Parker's playing by listening to records, Hawes found himself sharing the bandstand with Bird himself in 1947 as a co-member of trumpeter Howard McGee's group. Later in the same year, Hawes also participated in some of the famed west coast "dueling" sessions between tenor saxophonists Wardell Gray and Dexter Gordon, most famously captured on record at the Elks Auditorium in Los Angeles on July 6.
Throughout the remainder of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s, Hawes expanded his already strong resume by recording with childhood friend Sonny Criss, Shorty Rogers, Art Pepper, and Warne Marsh, among others. "Popo," a Shorty Rogers track, features Hawes with Art Pepper, Jimmy Giuffre, and Shelly Manne, among others
Hawes also released his first recordings as a leader during this period – The East/West Controversy, a 1951 trio date with bassist Harper Cosby and drummer Lawrence Marable, and The Hampton Hawes Memorial Album, featuring tracks from various dates in 1952 with bassist Joe Mondragon and famed West-Coast drummer Shelly Manne.
As quickly as Hawes's reputation grew was as quickly as his personal life began to spiral out of control. His battle with heroin addiction began early and intensified rapidly, and his stint in Japan with the U.S. Army from 1952-1954 resulted in emotional attrition. These personal issues would soon consume Hawes's personal and professional life, but not before the most critically acclaimed musical period of his career in the mid-to-late 1950s.
Upon his discharge from the Army, Hawes returned to Los Angeles and began performing with bassist Red Mitchell. Lester Koenig soon signed Hawes to a deal at Contemporary Records, and the Hawes/Mitchell tandem went on to record three trio recordings in 1955 and 1956 that are recalled today as highlights of the entire West-Coast jazz tradition. The first recordings, Hampton Hawes Trio, Volume 1, featured drummer Chuck Thompson and was recorded in June of 1955. The remaining two sessions, This is Hampton Hawes, Volume 2, and Everybody Likes Hampton Hawes, Volume 3, featured the same lineup and was comprised of two late 1955 and early 1956 session dates.
In November of 1956, Hawes and Mitchell joined forces with guitarist Jim Hall and drummer Eldridge Freeman for the aptly titled All Night Session, a marathon date that began on the 12th and ended on the 13th, leading to a three-volume set of inspired, jam-session style recordings. "Broadway" is a standout track from the first volume of this series.
Garnering increased attention from his first batch of Contemporary dates, Hawes was invited to record with bassist Charles Mingus on a 1957 trio recording, Mingus Three. The date featured Hawes, Mingus, and longtime Mingus drummer Dannie Richmond.
In 1958, Hawes re-entered the studio for the Contemporary label, recording first with guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Red Mitchell, and Shelly Manne on Four!, and then with tenor saxophonist Harold Land, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Frank Butler on For Real! "Hip" is an up-tempo swinger from For Real! that exemplifies the bluesy, virtuosic recordings from Hawes's period with Contemporary
In late October, 1958, the rhythm section Hawes, Kessel, Mitchell, and Manne (straight from the abovementioned Four! sessions entered the studio with Sonny Rollins for the Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders session. The sympathetic rhythm section plays beautifully with Rollins on the date's opening track, "I've Told Ev'ry Little Star."
On his thirtieth birthday on November 13, 1958, Hampton Hawes was arrested and convicted on drug charges after selling heroin to an undercover federal agent. Even though he pled guilty to the charges in hopes of less jail time, Hawes was sentenced to the maximum ten-year prison sentence.
In between his arrest and incarceration, Hawes recorded a collection of reworked spirituals and gospel-blues tunes with Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levy entitled The Sermon.
After a serious drug conviction and the delivery of a maximum sentence, many wrote off the possibility of any significant musical comeback from Hampton Hawes. But in one of the more extraordinary historical developments in jazz history, Hawes was back on the scene and making records again in early 1964, five-and-a-half years into his 10-year sentence.
After watching President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address on a prison television, Hawes decided he would pursue a presidential pardon. After years of preparing the required documents and garnering letters of recommendation, Hawes was miraculously granted executive clemency by President Kennedy in 1963. Hawes was released from prison and soon released The Green Leaves of Summer, his first post-pardon session, on February 17, 1964.
The second half of the 1960s was an expectedly intermediary period of Hawes's career. His playing was noticeably not as sharp as it was in the mid-to-late 1950s, and it took him a period of time to get back into serious playing. He also quickly found that he was more highly regarded in Europe and Japan than he was in the United States upon his release from prison, so he spent the majority of this period recording and performing overseas. Some noteworthy recordings from this period include: Hamp's Piano, a 1967 release recorded in West Germany featuring Eberhard Weber on bass; Key for Two, a French date featuring Hawes and fellow pianist Matial Solal; Jazz Undulation, a quintet date backing Johnny Griffin and Dexter Gordon; and Spanish Steps, a Hawes-led date from 1968.
In 1971, Hawes was featured on a fine date with Dexter Gordon, entitled Live at the Montmartre in Copenhagen. After relocating back to the United States shortly thereafter, Hawes recorded with bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Roy Haynes on Live at the Jazz Showcase, Volumes 1 and 2, from Chicago, Illinois.
In the mid to late 1970s, Hawes experimented with the electric piano on his own Playin' in the Yard (1973), Dexter Gordon's Blues a la Suisse (1973), and Art Pepper's Living Legend (1975).
He then returned to the acoustic piano for his final recordings. He recorded two duet albums with bassist Charlie Haden in 1976, As Long as There's Music and Golden Number, the latter of which includes the strong interplay of "Turnaround." In one of the last studio performances of his career, Hawes recorded a fine trio date with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne entitled Hampton Hawes at the Piano.
Hawes suffered a stroke and passed away on May 22, 1977 at the age of 48. His life is comprehensively documented in his autobiography, Raise Up Off Me, which was published in 1974 and won the ASCAP Deems-Taylor Award for excellence in music writing in 1975.
Hampton Hawes deserves to stand alone as an example of a bebop pianist who crossed genre lines and instrumental influences while retaining a traditional, ultra-rhythmic approach to his craft, as well as an inspiring story of personal and musical triumpth. His trio recordings from the 1950s will surely be recalled as highlights of the West-Coast jazz tradition.

The steam cracking unit, which will be the world's largest, is designed to produce more than 1.4 million tpy of ethylene and more than 600,000 tpy of propylene.
CB&I has been awarded a contract by CJSC Vostochnaya
Neftechimicheskaya (VNHK), a subsidiary of OJSC Rosneft, for
the license and basic engineering of a naphtha steam cracking
unit and a butadiene and benzene extraction unit for
VNHKs new petrochemical complex in Russia.
This is a third-quarter award, according to the company.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The steam cracking unit, which will be the worlds
largest, is designed to produce more than 1.4 million tpy of
ethylene and more than 600,000 tpy of propylene, using the
latest advances in the Lummus SRT-VII heater technology.
The butadiene unit is designed to produce 230,000 tpy of
benzene and approximately 200,000 tpy of butadiene. It will use
the Lummus/BASF butadiene extraction technology.
Ethylene and propylene, building blocks in the petrochemical industry, are used to
produce a variety of finished products, including plastics,
fibers and rubber.
Butadiene, which is a co-product of ethylene, is
predominantly used in the production of synthetic rubber, more
than 75% of which is consumed by the global automobile and
truck tire industry.
Butadiene is currently in high demand globally as a result
of the move by ethylene manufacturers to lighter feedstocks that produce less
butadiene, according to CB&I.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

15 month old toddler
What should my 15 month old baby be doing?
Developmental: Most 15 month olds can walk well and some can walk backwards or run. Most can also crawl upstairs (so get those stair gates up!). They can stoop down and recover without sitting. They can build a two cube tower, and scribble on paper if you show them how. Toddlers at this age can drink from a cup, play by themselves, try to remove their own clothes and imitate a parent doing household chores. They may be able to use a spoon. They often say Mama or Dada (and pick the correct parent when doing so), and in general know at least 3-5 words. They may speak with mature sounding jargon, throwing in a real word they know here and there. Many 15 month olds can obey simple commands (even if the parent makes no gestures) and can point to 3 body parts. By this age they usually have true anxiety of strangers. This is the age when tantrums and attempted manipulation of the parent may begin, when some independence is asserted by the child, and when some children become pickier with food.
Finally, there is recent evidence that suggests that watching too much television may increase a child's chance of being more hyperactive or inattentive as they get older, so consider limiting television to one hour a day and avoiding shows that depict violence. Above all else, we encourage reading to children whenever possible, as this stimulation will encourage them to be better readers when they get older.
Sleeping: A 15 month old will sleep an average of 13-14 hours in a 24 hour period. This is a good age to develop (if you haven't already) a bedtime routine including teeth-brushing and a simple bedtime story or book. Use only a small amount of children's toothpaste (less than the size of a pea). Avoid putting the baby to sleep with a bottle in the crib. Now that baby may be able to pull herself up, it is important to lower the crib mattress to reduce the risk of falling, and remove the crib bumper pad so they cannot use it to climb out.
Feeding: At this age your toddler's appetite may decrease, which is normal because their growth rate slows down some. Fifteen month olds should be taking table foods (mashed or cut up when appropriate), and drinking from a cup (sippy or regular). Three meals a day are appropriate (at regular meal times with the family), with 2-3 snacks. Whole milk (3-4 cups a day) and water should be the main drink you child takes, limiting them to only one cup of juice a day if any. Avoid feeding the baby potential choking hazards, such as hot dogs (cut into coin shapes), grapes, hard candy, gum or peanuts.
Stooling: Most infants this age will have a bowel movement at least once every 2-3 days if not more often. As long as the bowel movements are soft there is no cause for concern. It is too early to attempt potty training yet.
What are the safety issues for a 15 month old?
CAR SEATS: The infant must be in a car seat, and if she weighs at least 20 pounds may be faced forward at this age, in the back seat. To learn more from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) regarding car seat safety, click here.
BURNS: Set the hot water heater to 120 F maximum. Cover all electrical outlets, and make sure electrical cords are not within reach.
POISONING: Keep the poison hotline number near the phone: 1-800-376-4766. All chemicals and household plants should be unreachable by the infants.
DROWNING: NEVER leave unattended in water (including the bathtub), even for a moment. Family pools should be fenced in and locked.
SUN EXPOSURE: Avoid direct sunlight exposure, or place sunscreen lotion on if outdoors for an extended period, SPF 30. Reapply the lotion every 2 hours while outdoors.
SLEEPING: Crib bumpers at this age may increase the risk of an infant climbing or falling out of a crib and should probably be removed. For more information about crib safety form the AAP, click here.
MONITORING: Never leave a toddler alone on the bed or dressing table, at any age. Baby walkers can be dangerous as well, especially in homes with stairs. Make sure you have window guards and stair gates if needed. Never leave them alone with a pet or sibling. Make sure you have a smoke detector in the home, and that you change the batteries at least twice a year. A playpen is a great idea at this age. Now that your child can walk, make sure they cannot leave the house without your help, and make sure that they are kept away from the road/driveway while outdoors.
CHOKING: Avoid toys with small parts. Also avoid the following foods: Peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs (cut coin-shaped), link sausages, carrot sticks, celery, whole grapes, raisins, tough meat, hard candy and gum. Make sure all solid food is cut into small pieces.
FIREARMS: Keep them locked up and unloaded!
SMOKING: Smoking can cause significant problems for infants. Toddlers exposed to cigarette smoke will grow up with a higher chance of getting ear, sinus, throat and lung infections. They will get more colds and those colds will last longer and have worse symptoms. If someone in the home smokes, encourage them to quit with the help of their physician. If they cannot quit smoking, then ask them to smoke outside and to wash their hands and face (and preferably change their shirt) before picking up the baby. Smoking in the car or in the home leaves chemicals behind that can still pose a risk to the child even if she is not present at the time--so always smoke outside if possible.
DISCIPLINE: Time-outs for bad or dangerous behavior is acceptable at this age, but it should be brief (no more than 1 minute), non-threatening (placing your child in a crib or playpen for time-out but not leaving the room) and consistent. At this age positive reinforcement may work better (praising your child for good behavior), and distracting them from potentially bad situations may also be useful.

Homeowners can expect hikes in flood insurance rates
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Many Wilmington-area homeowners hit by waves of property insurance increases in recent years should get ready for another pounding.
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act reauthorizes the National Flood Insurance Program until Sept. 30, 2017.
It removes two long-standing grandfather clauses that have shielded most building owners in flood plains from higher flood insurance rates.
The first is a break for structures built before Dec. 31, 1974, or the date of the first flood insurance rate map (FIRM), whichever is later.
Neither homeowners nor wind and hail policies cover flood damage. American insurance companies have not written flood insurance policies for decades. The expense of the claims – and especially how they can be bunched together in a short time – led them out of the business, said Spencer Rogers, coastal engineering specialist with N.C. Sea Grant.
The federal program came about to insure homes in flood plains across the country, including those along rivers and other streams.
The flood program offered flood insurance at subsidized rates for all buildings – including pre-FIRM ones – if a community was willing to adopt higher flood standards on new construction after a 100-year flood map was implemented, Rogers said.
The Bigger-Waters Act leaves the subsidized rates in place for primary residences built before Dec. 31, 1974, but there are major exceptions – including houses that are newly purchased, not previously insured or with temporary policy lapses.
Another grandfather clause involves how rates are calculated on post-FIRM buildings.
Premiums on those buildings until now could be calculated using the flood map in place when the home was constructed – when, for instance, base flood elevations were lower or before flood zones were expanded. Those map conditions could be used to calculate future premiums, even if the zone or base flood elevation were changed in a later map, Rogers said.
The new law, however, provides that all buildings will be rated using the latest maps, he said.
A new federal law is threatening huge hikes in flood insurance premiums for certain homes and businesses when it kicks in this year and next.
The law, called the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act and passed last July, is an effort by Congress to recover losses to the government's National Flood Insurance Program – largely from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 – and to make the program financially sound, said Spencer Rogers, a coastal engineering specialist at N.C. Sea Grant.
As private insurers dropped out of the market, the government developed its program as to make sure that people who live in flood plains have access to insurance.
Goodbye, subsidies
Under the new rules, subsidies that homeowners have enjoyed on the government's program since the mid-1970s will go away, substantially raising premiums for second homes and investment property located in flood zones.
It's not clear how newer primary residences will be affected when the law is implemented.
Additionally, buildings that were built up to snuff in previous years and to the standards of flood maps then will now be measured against the latest flood maps and may now be in flood zones when they previously were not.
Newly constructed structures are being already to current standards, and may be less affected by the changes.
Homes at Charleston Common at Jackeys Creek, for instance, are being built on pilings because the development is in the 100-year flood plain, bordering a marsh.
The development on N.C. 133 in Leland has been dormant for several years, but two houses are under construction now, priced at $169,000, and flood insurance is $400 a year, according to Sandra Britt of Century 21 Sweyer & Associates, agent for Charleston Common.
Reaction to the flood insurance changes from local officials was anything but understated.
"It would have a catastrophic effect on homeowners," said Wrightsville Beach Mayor David Cignotti. Unless the building is a primary residence, "people might have to sell their property. It's too big of an increase at once," he said.
"Terrible, terrible, devastating," said Steve Candler, CEO of the Brunswick County Association of Realtors (BCAR). "Flood insurance is going to be a huge investment."
So when will the new rules take effect?
"The only thing FEMA has said is that something will happen Oct. 1," said Rogers, who has studied and analyzed the new law's potential effects, which only now seem to be emerging in public discourse.
But owners of structures that are not primary residences that were built in a flood zone before Dec. 31, 1974, could see their premiums go up 25 percent the next time their policy is up for renewal, Rogers said.
It is uncertain what the effects will be on homes built after that date, but more guidance is expected from FEMA by April, he added.
Giant increases
The act removes two so-called grandfather clauses that have effectively subsidized rates, and the result will likely be very expensive for property owners in or even near the 100-year flood plain shown on flood maps, Rogers said.
Congress has taken away the clauses that protected people who built their homes before the first flood insurance rate map was created, said Donna Girardot, executive officer of the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association.
"And all newly purchased homes, along with second homes and rental homes, will all be required to pay the new, much higher actuary rates," she said.
Actuarial rates are those that would be applied to a house built today using the latest flood map and construction standards, Rogers said.
"Existing homeowners will find out upon renewing their flood insurance policy that they too will be affected," Girardot continued. "Existing homeowners will need to increasingly work with their insurance agent and general contractor to identify key elements of their home's construction that puts them at higher insurance rates and increases their flood insurance policy."
On the islands
That's a particular worry for Mayor Debbie Smith of Ocean Isle Beach.
She thinks that new flood maps will put all people on her island into the high-risk zone.
That in itself would penalize the homeowner, Smith said. But she also pointed to changes in the required height of the house under new maps.
"If the required height was 15 feet above mean sea level" when your house was built, "and today the required height is 17, then you are going to be penalized by higher rates."
BCAR's Candler said the increases would affect the property market.
A wise man would open up a business jacking up houses," he said only partially in jest. "It would be an expensive process, but it could save a building owner $10,000 to $12,000 a year in lower insurance premiums.
Candler also said that flood insurance would no longer be transferable to the next owner at low rates.
Instead, a survey would need to be conducted as the house changes hands to determine the home's new status and rates.
Nothing to like
The new flood insurance rules could even hit Fannie Mae, said Oak Island Mayor Betty Wallace, because some second-home owners won't be able to pay flood rates and will default on their mortgages.
She, Smith and Cignotti also said some homeowners could be tempted to drop their flood insurance altogether. But homes in flood plains are required to have flood insurance if the mortgage on them is backed by government entities like Fannie Mae.
The flood insurance premium increases come at a horrible time for coastal property owners, following large hikes in homeowners and wind and hail rates, Cignotti said.
"I believe that the increase should be incremental, not all at once," though he acknowledged that the law is not very flexible.
The people who really get crushed are the second-home owners or investors, Cignotti added.
"It's going to make it very difficult to sell their property," he said. "I can't see anything positive about it."

Performance Appraisal Guide
The Performance Appraisal is a formal management tool used to evaluate the work performance of employees. The Performance Appraisal is a carefully structured system of appraisal that monitors the work performance naturally, formally, informally and not based on personal wishes and perceptions, but on objective facts and reasons. The goal of this structured appraisal system is to help eliminate serious motivational, ethical and legal problems in the workplace.
These guidelines are intended for staff and administrative employees of Lincoln University. Its purpose is to assist in meeting requirements concerning the University's Performance Appraisal Record. A reluctance to act or recommend action sometimes results from uncertainly about procedural requirements. The University's Performance Appraisal Guide provides structure and guidance to develop confidence in and improve the ability of supervisors to support their recommendations/decisions or administrative proceedings.
Compliance with the procedures and preparation of performance management and professional development for employees are important elements of the University's performance appraisal process. They provide planned, scheduled opportunities to discuss each employee's accomplishments and development needs.
The primary objectives of the Performance Appraisal are to:
• Provide a uniform system for reviewing current job duties, setting job related performance expectations, measuring
performance results and identifying individual development needs to sustain or improve performance;
• Provide objective, job related information to be considered in making employee related decisions about compensation, promotions, transfers, staff reductions, demotions or dismissals;
• Encourage communications between supervisors and employees that focus on improving performance, establishing agreed upon job tasks and responsibilities, and planning for training and advancement;
The program is applicable to all administrative and staff employees of the University. It is not applicable to the University's faculty members.
The underlying objective of the employee performance appraisal is to improve the quality and quantity of an employee's job performance and thereby increase productivity and efficiency ... doing things right. The overall result is to increase organizational effectiveness ... doing the right things.
This includes:
• Ensuring a mutual understanding of job responsibilities and work assignments;
• Setting clear performance expectations for the next performance period;
• Providing a reference point for ongoing monitoring of progress during the performance period;
• Serving as a focal point to discuss performance results and any areas needing improvement at the end of the
performance period;
• Identifying development needs and opportunities;
• Determine potential for advancement for greater responsibilities;
Supervision ensures that formal performance appraisal will provide no surprises. Where communication is good and the employee is reasonably experienced, performance appraisal is a mere formality, putting on paper something about which both participants already understand and agree. Where job content is changing, a new employee is learning a job or performance problems are encountered, performance appraisal will be both more difficult and more important.
Performance appraisal is a way to satisfy employees' needs to be informed about how well they are performing their job, how much they are contributing to the University's goals and what can be done to advance their career objectives/interests.
For employees, the performance appraisal is intended to:
• Help employees better understand their job responsibilities and requirements;
• Measure employees level of performance;
• Identify opportunities for employees to improve and be promoted;
• Help employees develop career goals;
For supervisors, the formal performance appraisal should:
• Allow supervisors explain their performance expectations to their employees;
• Provide opportunities for supervisors to establish and evaluate employees' work objectives;
• Help supervisors understand employees' personal aspirations and goals;
• Provide time to design specific plans for performance improvements or career advancements;
For the University, the formal performance appraisal is designed to:
• Improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the University's operations;
• Support personnel actions, such as promotions, transfers and terminations;
• Provide information to design specific plans for performance improvements or career advancements;
The program's fundamental design is based on the premise that when a person clearly understands what he/she is suppose to do, the person is better able to do it successfully. To have employees meet performance expectations, supervisors must:
• Inform employees on what is to be done, how it will be measured and what results will represent "success";
• Determine how well they have completed each objective;
• Reward or correct accordingly;
The Performance Appraisal program requires:
• Supervisors to looks at each employee's job, identifies its major duties and responsibilities and use
these as a basis for setting work-related performance expectations (at least 5-7 major expectations
• Supervisors to develop specific, measurable and objective expectations against which performance
results can be measured;
• Supervisors to inform employees of performance expectations at the beginning of the performance
• Supervisors monitor employees' progress toward performance expectations throughout the
performance period and to assist/coach employees as necessary to keep the employee "on track"
(review at least quarterly);
• Supervisors to measure employees' performance results against expectations at the end of the rating
• Supervisors to prepare for and discuss with employees expectations for the next performance
appraisal year;
• Supervisors and employees engage in a discussion about performance results at the end of each
performance period and identify performance expectations for the next performance period;
The approach described above will provide direct benefits in that it promotes improved understanding and communication between supervisors and employees. The requirement to describe performance expectations up front makes ongoing performance centered dialogue between supervisors and employees a "must do" situation. Realistic and measurable performance expectations assist both supervisors and employees in assessing the quality and quantity of job performance because they provide a standard against which results can be measured and success identified.
• Benefits of the program include:
⇒ Better job definition: The performance appraisal process will result in a better definition and understanding about the job responsibilities of individuals throughout the University. Employees and supervisors will have a clearer mutual understanding about job content and similar expectations about results;
⇒ Greater initiative and self direction: When performance expectations are clearly defined and expressed, employees can better manage themselves. There is less time needed for detailed supervision and review, more time is available to supervisors for planning, goal setting and more effective leadership;
⇒ Greater consistency among raters: Written performance expectations that are developed at the beginning of a performance period provide higher-level management with an opportunity to better understand what first line supervisors expect of their employees and what constitutes the basis of the appraisal. This provides an opportunity to achieve greater consistency in expectations and results in performance appraisals throughout the University;
⇒ Improved documentation: Supervisors must properly document what are sound human resource management decisions. One of the key elements in improving organizational effectiveness and efficiency is management's willingness to take prompt and decisive action when such action is clearly in the best interest of the University;
A reluctance to act or recommend action sometimes results from a supervisor's uncertainly about procedural requirements. The University's performance appraisal process provides structure and guidance to develop confidence in and improve the ability of supervisors to support their recommendations/decisions in legal or administrative proceedings.
The University's Performance Appraisal and Development Program has the following components. A summary of the activities involved under each component is shown below:
• Evaluation of Essential Job Functions
Essential job functions evaluation is a major component/element of an employee's work that is
particularly important to success or failure in the employee's position. Identifying these key job
responsibilities simply breaks the work into manageable pieces that can be evaluated separately.
The first step in identifying key job responsibilities is to review all the work-related things an employee
does. An up to date, accurate and complete job description and/or position analysis questionnaire is a
good place to start. The following characteristics of key job responsibilities will assist in the job
responsibility identification and selection:
⇒ The job responsibilities are sufficiently important to the position and the University and holds
the employee accountable for the job responsibilities;
⇒ A list of key job responsibilities will cover all important aspects of the job;
⇒ Performance of a key job responsibility must be observable against the intended result;
⇒ All key job responsibilities on which an employee is appraised must be important to job
success, but all key job responsibilities need not be of equal importance;
• Performance Factors
This section indicates what performance factors (for either management or staff employees) have
been selected and what criteria will be used to measure success ... what may influence the extent to
which performance expectations are achieved;
• Special Accomplishments
This section provides an opportunity for both supervisors and employees to list what they consider to
be planned or unplanned significant contributions made during the performance period;
• Evaluation of Goals and Objectives
This gives an opportunity to review goals and objectives for this review period, evaluate results
achieved, and identify goals to be met within the next review period.
• Professional Development Review
A listing of any training programs, conferences or courses attended throughout the year for
professional development. Also, possible training opportunities to improve the employee's skill set.
• Summary Comments
This is a summary of the overall performance including strengths and areas of improvement.
• Overall Performance Rating
Greater consistency among raters can be achieved if all University supervisors use the same
definitions of performance ratings when making performance reviews. To assist in obtaining this|
consistency, the five performance rating definitions are described below:
⇒Outstanding - Performance at this level far exceeds expectations. It represents a level of performance that is rare and unusual. In determining what is rare and unusual, it is important to rely on actual experience. If the rater has not had enough firsthand experience to make this determination, the reviewer should provide assistance. An appraisal at this level requires thorough documentation on the Performance Appraisal and Development Record, and remarks in Performance Summary by rater and reviewer.
⇒Commendable - This is "very good" performance that exceeds expectations, but not to the extent that it would be considered rare and unusual. Performance at this level makes a positive difference to the University in a way that is important, understood, and accepted by the supervisor, the employee and, where applicable, coworkers.
⇒ Proficient - this is "good" performance on the level expected of a trained, experienced, successful employee.
(Special Note: Supervisors sometimes face resistance when rating employees at a level that can be considered "just average". This can result in a tendency to rate the trained, experienced employee at a higher level. This "creep" toward higher evaluations eventually limits the supervisor's ability to recognize highly successful and outstanding performers.)
⇒Marginal - Performance falls somewhat short of what is expected of a trained, experienced employee. Improvement is normally expected for trainees or less experienced employees. It indicated that need for continued progress to improve to the successful level within a reasonable period of time. For trained employees, performance at this level can only be considered 'fair" or marginal. In either case, performance cannot continue at this level indefinitely. If improvement to the successful level is not demonstrated, performance at this level will at some point be considered unsatisfactory.
⇒ Deficient - Performance at this level fails to meet the requirements of the position. Sustained performance at this level adversely affects the department's ability to accomplish its purpose. A summary appraisal made at this level requires action by the employee or management. If well documented reasons to expect immediate, substantial and sustained improvement does not exist, the employee should be considered, through established administrative procedures, for removal from the position.
Performance that results in an appraisal at this level must be well documented on the Performance Appraisal and
an established Development Record. Supporting comments must be entered by the rater and reviewer in the
Performance Summary.
• Reviews and Approvals
This section asks for the employee's acknowledgement/comments, signature and approvals of the rater and
designated reviewer.
Please contact Human Resources if you have any questions about the information in this booklet.

Entrance/Application Requirements
Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals who specialize in preventing, recognizing, managing, and rehabilitating injuries among the physically active population. Athletic Trainers are credentialed through the Board of Certification of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. Colleges and Universities that prepare Athletic Training students to sit for the national exam do so under the authority of the Commission for the Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Muskingum University will begin the four-year accreditation process with the arrival of first-year students in the fall of 2013. It is our goal to be fully accredited when the class of 2017 graduates.
As part of the formal part of the program students will complete a variety of clinical rotations. Rotations will occur both on- and off-campus. While off-campus venues are still being developed they will include therapy clinics, urgent care facilities and physician offices as well as local high school athletic departments.
Various organizations provide summer internship opportunities. A popular option is internships with professional baseball. Students are encouraged to apply for internships in areas of personal interest.
Students in the major will complete a senior seminar project. The project will be research that deals with evidence-based medicine in the field of Athletic Training. There will be opportunities for students to present their work on campus as well as at professional conferences at the state, regional and national level.
Because Athletic Training is a medical profession there is a heavy emphasis on research throughout the program. Students will learn how to find, read, discern and apply the most current research available.
Professional activities
Students will have the opportunity to join the state, regional and national organizations in the Athletic Training profession. Each of those entities sponsor annual meetings that include educational sessions designed for students. In addition there are local sports medicine seminars that occur on a regular basis.
Post-Muskingum options
Our graduates have several options available to them. Alums may seek to pursue further education. Options vary depending on professional goals. Alums could apply to Physical or Occupational Therapy School. Some may want to pursue grad school to be a Physician's Assistant. Most who pursue further education will do so hoping to be hired as a GA or TA while serving as an Athletic Trainer. There are literally 100's of these positions that open up nationwide every year.
Students may also go directly into the workforce. Venues can include jobs at the college/ university level, outreach clinic, public school, occupational/ industrial setting or even the fine arts and professional rodeo.
A new Athletic Training room was constructed in 2007. This room will be used for some lab classes as well as clinical rotations. With the creation of the program new facilities will be constructed. These include an Athletic Training laboratory and student resource room as well as faculty offices.
Muskingum University is a member of the NCAA III and the Ohio Athletic Conference. Our Athletic Training students will serve as a part of the medical team that provides care for these athletes.

INTRODUCTION; 1997; DOI: 10.1215/ed-25-introduction; CL 25: firstpage-25-ix-lastpage-25-x
An analysis of the letters of this volume once again shows how much is fresh in the study of the Carlyles, but now with a slight difference. This volume contains a total of 247 letters, of which 47 percent have not been previously published, approximately 12 percent previously quoted, 13 percent printed in incomplete form, and 25 percent published elsewhere for the most part in full form. Although proportionately few of their letters of 1850 have been easily available in print, as the headnotes dutifully set out, fewer of Jane Carlyle's letters than usual (only 22 percent) have been previously unpublished, probably because they are generally fewer in number and of more personal interest.
With slight exceptions, one in particular, the correspondence of the Carlyles in 1850 is tender and affectionate. Left on her own in Cheyne Row in August and struggling with decorators and the servant problem, Jane wrote to Thomas to thank him for his long letters:
Having survived Thomas's frustrated anger against "things in general" in the Latter-Day Pamphlets and having remained at home while he was away on his usual summer vacation, Jane seemed to recognize that many of her problems arose from her health. Yet Thomas took much for granted, though he wrote to her, on 6 September, after more than a month's absence:
He saw that in his aggressive concern about his relation to society he often lost touch with those closest to him, as was to happen in his rough response to his wife's anxiety after her accident at home early in December.
Perhaps Thomas Carlyle's often hidden concern and love for his wife can be seen in an incident noted by Amalie Bölte, the German governess and writer working in England who regularly called at Cheyne Row. The German artist Carl Hartmann painted a portrait of Jane (the frontispiece to the present volume) for Bölte that was completed by July 1849 (see JWC to TC, 3 July 1849). Bölte apparently took it with her to Germany later in the year and brought it back to London in 1850. Thomas pounced on it and impounded it, giving as an excuse, so she says, her having taken some autographs by Caussidière for Varnhagen von Ense, a renowned collector. She wrote to Varnhagen, 3 April, after a visit to Cheyne Row:
Bölte concluded that Jane "has while living seen herself treated as dead, and has since then [since the incident] become mellower and gentler. How glad I am to have brought this about" (Böltes Briefe, trans. 78).
The importance of 1850 otherwise lies in the Latter-Day Pamphlets, which mark a turning point in Carlyle's career and reputation. Emerson and Trollope can be seen in the notes to the letters as recognizing his integrity and also his hatred of falsehood, but many of his old associates fell away. Yet both his and Jane's skill and attraction as letter writers remain unaffected. Both retain their intimate, spontaneous, and adaptable style, especially in her case for writing about her pet dog, Nero, and in his accounts of his meetings with Sir Robert Peel and Peel's subsequent death.
Our basic editorial procedures remain much the same for this volume except that we now shall begin publishing a single volume at a time. In addition, in the hope that it will be for the readers' convenience, we will place almost all the biographical notes (mainly those of the Carlyles' contemporaries) in alphabetical order at the end of the volume before the index. These notes will hereafter be carried over, with suitable modification, to later volumes.

The number one complaint that forms from the mouths of Texas surfers is not the desire for more consistent waves, but rather the need for more coverage and sponsorships. Is this you? It seems that Texas surfers are always vying for more sponsors.
Serious gulf coast surfers need look no further than the Atomic Omelette Surf Team tryouts! The Atomic Omelette Surf Team is looking to fill up around ten spots on their team, ranging from micro-groms to masters. This includes both Men's and Women's divisions. The team will welcome both shortboarders and longboarders to participate in the tryout event.
Tryouts will launch on Saturday, July 26, 2014, at 10am in Corpus Christi, Texas. Judging will continue throughout the day well into the early evening (about 6pm) at the North Packery Channel Jetty on North Padre Island (or what some call Mustang Island). Being an all-day event, food and beverages will be available. All participants will be competing for a spot on the team to partake in the 2014/2015 Texas Gulf Surfing Association (TGSA) season starting in September. TGSA is a prestigious surfing organization that has been operational for over twenty-five years. Texas surfers wishing to make it to nationals can get a jumpstart by being part of the Texas surf community. Following the event, Atomic Omelette and Grill invites all spectators and participants to celebrate at the Atomic Omelette Surf Team year-end party. The party location is to be announced succeeding the tryouts.

Peter Gray Museum Announces 10th Anniversary Celebration
Published Nov 16, 2012, 10:00am - (Updated Dec 18, 2012, 4:11pm)
A grand celebration is planned for the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Peter Gray Art Museum on the campus of Centro Universitario de la Costa (CUC). The event will be held at the Museum on Friday, November 30, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. All are welcome, members and non-members alike, to enjoy complimentary light refreshments and the sounds of a talented Spanish music group while touring an expanded art collection and new museum layout.
The Peter Gray Art Museum is a crown jewel in the Puerto Vallarta cultural scene. It was started by Peter in 2002 with the seeding of 16 works of art from his private collection. It has since grown to more than 120 works representing a wide range of style and origin, including works from famous Mexican artists Coronel, Toledo, Cuevas, among others. The primary objective of the Museum is to provide students at CUC and throughout the region with an exposure to art that they might not otherwise experience, particularly if enrolled in technical degree programs. At the other end of the age spectrum, the Museum welcomes 4th and 5th graders for guided tours of the museum and trying their hand at producing artworks of their own creation under the tutelage of local artists.
The Peter Gray Museum is centrally located on CUC's beautiful campus, a few miles north of the airport. If coming from town, turn right from the main highway just past Home Depot, following the signs towards Ixtapa. Proceed about 1 mile until you see a sign on the highway pointing towards CUC to the right. After entering the main gate to CUC, parking is available in the main lot on your right. The walk to the Museum is about 100 yards down the main campus walkway sheltered by ficus trees.
