ANDREWS, TX (KCBD) - A wire service report says state regulators will hit a controversial nuclear waste site with a notice of violation. According to the Associated Press, the TCEQ or Texas Commission On Environmental quality will accuse WCS or Waste Control Specialists of allowing certain radioactive material to be stored in concrete canisters for more than its 365 day license. The company denies any wrongdoing. hile TCEQ will demand certain corrective actions, regulators say there will be no fine.
Last year a KCBD NewsChannel 11 special investigation revealed controversial allegations directed at WCS. The company near Andrews stores low level nuclear waste and some are critical of WCS for putting waste near the Ogallala Aquifer, which is a groundwater source for many towns around Lubbock. The company denies any danger to the water supply.

Lack of Sleep and Health Problems
Former President Bill Clinton recently admitted that lack of sleep added to some of his health problems. "I didn't sleep much for a month, that probably accelerated what was already going on," Clinton said as he counseled young people to make smart health choices while they are young to improve their lives for later years.
But how does sleep affect our general health ? Getting enough continuous quality sleep contributes to how we feel and perform the next day, this also has a huge impact on the overall quality of our lives. Getting enough sleep refers to the amount of sleep you need to not feel sleepy the next day. Insufficient sleep may make it difficult to exercise and can reduce the benefit of hormones released during sleep.
Some steps we can all take to improve our sleep habits are:

The City of North Platte is bracing for high water on the North Platte River and crews are busy getting ready for the river to go over its banks.
This afternoon, dozens of people were busy filling sandbags at the Scouts Rest Ranch State Park in Northwest North Platte, and just across down the block, a dike was being constructed to keep flood waters away from the Lincoln County Historical Park and Museum.
The Lincoln County emergency manager says the river will go to record levels before it's all over.
"We know for sure that it's going to go to 8.5 feet, which is two and a half feet above flood stage," Jim Nitz, Lincoln County emergency manager, said. "But that doesn't include any of the snow melt from Wyoming."
For the past several days, the Army Corps of Engineers has been building a levee along the northwest part of town to hopefully keep that area from flooding.

More than 30 homes and 84 businesses in Footscray are earmarked for compulsory acquisition to make way for the Regional Rail Link (Update: Feb 2012, Houses now demolished). Residents first learned the news through the media, waiting in some cases for more than 36 hours for official notification. Affected residents and traders are unimpressed with the complete lack of prior consultation and the generally disorganised and disrespectful way in which the Department of Transport and the Government have managed the process.
The people affected are not asking for the regional rail lines to be put into someone else's backyard, they are simply asking for a fair-go.
Date and location of our next regular meeting to be advised via mailing list. Our previous meeting venue, the Senior Citizens Centre on Buckley Street is one of the buildings shortly to be demolished for the RRL.

January 11, 2014
In a move that might be taking place much too soon, WWE has decided to split up the Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will all be going their separate ways. Wyatt is rumored to be doing a baby face turn soon since management ran out of top level opponents for him. Harper is expected to receive a nice push as a singles performer, while nothing much has been said about plans for Rowan.
October 1, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, WWE aired a video, featuring Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt. Reports have surfaced that the move was done because management wanted to give Harper a singles push. There are also talks that the company is considering a complete split for the Wyatt Family. No word yet on what they plan on doing with Wyatt and Erick Rowan.
September 30, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw last week saw John Cena being booked dominantly against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. It has now been revealed that Vince McMahon was the person behind all of that. Someone backstage had informed McMahon that a lot of WWE fans were mocking Cena for being dominated, so McMahon has decided to build Cena back up again.
August 28, 2014
After witnessing Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan being utilized as pawns in the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw, a lot of fans voiced their complaints towards WWE. It is now being said that management actually had a different plan that evening for Wyatt. He was supposed to have been booked strong by attacking Big Show and Mark Henry during the closing segment. Instead, WWE changed their minds and decided to put Cena and Lesnar over instead.
August 27, 2014
There was a little bit of confusion on Monday Night Raw. Fans were led to believe that Big Show and Mark Henry were forming a team, especially after they were given a victory over Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Later on in the evening, Henry came out and started what looked like a feud with Alexander Rusev. The reason for all this is because WWE was not sure what they wanted to do, and the scripts overlapped. The decision to do a feud between Henry and Rusev was a last minute thing.
August 20, 2014
Since management wasn't completely sure what to do with them upon their returns, WWE has seemingly decided to put Big Show and Mark Henry into a tag team. The duo demolished Curtis Axel and Ryback on Smackdown. The belief is that Show and Henry could be placed into a big tag team match on a pay per view against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
August 11, 2014
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
Rumors are floating around that WWE is going to be bringing in another member of the Wyatt Family to help Bray Wyatt regain some of the momentum that he has lost over the last couple of weeks. Word has it that the story line will consists of Erick Rowan and Luke Harper both being banned from ringside at Summerslam 2014. The new character would make their debut that night.
August 3, 2014
During Monday Night Raw, a segment aired where Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan attacked Chris Jericho in the locker room. That was actually a trick by WWE, as the footage was filmed at the pay per view on Sunday night. Jericho had actually hopped on a flight to Los Angeles on Monday morning, so that he can begin promotional work for the new Fozzy album.
July 22, 2014
While it was still noticeable last night, WWE medical personnel worked fervently last night to repair the black eye on Bray Wyatt before he stepped in front of the cameras. They drained fluids from around his eye to reduce the swelling. Then, makeup artists did as much as they could to hide the darkness. WWE worked around the issue by having Erick Rowan and Luke Harper attacking Chris Jericho in the ring before Wyatt made a brief appearance on the stage.
July 15, 2014
While rumors of a Nation of Domination stable are still floating around, there are also talks that WWE could simply be building up Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston as a tag team because they need a baby face fodder for Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Management is seriously considering putting the tag titles on the Wyatt Family, and they're going to need more than Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso as challengers.
July 14, 2014
Rumors about a new Nation of Domination should be heating up again today after results from a WWE live event in Japan has hit the internet. Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston worked together as a tag team during the show in Tokyo. The tandom went up against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. The widespread speculation is that R Truth and Xavier Woods will be joining Langston and Kingston soon to form the new group.
July 10, 2014
Since management wanted to fill in some time at WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to book Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan into a best of three falls match for the tag team championship. The two teams have produced some good matches for WWE, so management is hoping that they can fill in a good amount of time at the pay per view for them.
July 9, 2014
Shortly after Chris Jericho made his surprising return on Monday Night Raw, the Wyatt Family provided a surprise of their own when Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan suddenly appeared in the ring to attack the former undisputed champion. When Wyatt was in NXT, Jericho specifically requested to WWE officials to let him work with Wyatt. The belief is that he did so again upon signing a contract to return.
July 1, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
Over the weekend, John Cena was injured during his match against Bray Wyatt, who delivered some headbutts that were a bit more stiff than they needed to be. WWE immediately took steps to protect one of their most valuable assets by changing the main event of the following event. Cena was teamed up with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso in a six man tag team match against Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan instead.
June 9, 2014
Initially, there were rumors that WWE was going to add a tag team championship match at the last minute on Payback 2014 featuring Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. However, management changed up their plans once they decided to include a lot of outside interference during the match between Bray Wyatt and John Cena. WWE did not want to take away from the big match by having the performers working multiple times last night.
June 2, 2014
There are rumors floating around that WWE wants to add another match to Payback 2014. Speculations are that Erick Rowan and Luke Harper will be rewarded with a pay per view title match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. There does not appear to be a high chance of a title change, as some feel that the Wyatt Family can get the spotlight without the belts.
June 1, 2014
Those that watched the latest episode of Monday Night Raw noticed that John Cena was absent. However, the popular WWE star was on hand for the event, as he showed up after the cameras went off the air to work a dark match main event against Bray Wyatt. Cena was declared the winner via disqualification after interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
May 6, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.

Heading west on the autopista nacional, the first attractions you'll come to, just inside the provincial border, are Artemisa's star attractions, the isolated mountain valley resorts at Las Terrazas and Soroa. These are by far the best bases from which to explore the densely packed forest slopes of the protected Sierra del Rosario, but only Las Terrazas can uphold the claim popularized in tourist literature of connecting tourism with conservation and the local community. Considerably smaller but no less popular than Las Terrazas, Soroa's compact layout makes it more accessible to day-trippers from Havana.
The sierra was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1985, acknowledgement in part for the success of the reforestation project of the 1970s, and visitors are encouraged to explore their surroundings using official hiking routes. There's a comprehensive programme of guided hikes at Las Terrazas and some gentler but still rewarding walks around Soroa. Though sometimes referred to as such, the peaks of the Sierra del Rosario don't quite qualify for mountain status, the highest point reaching just under 700m, and although there is some fantastic scenery, it's rarely, if ever, breathtaking.Read More
- Las Terrazas
Sixteen kilometres southwest of Las Terrazas, the tiny village of SOROA nestles in a long narrow valley. Although a cosy spot, access into the hills is limited and the list of attractions brief, meaning the resort is best suited to a shorter break than a prolonged visit.
Most of what you'll want to see is within ten minutes' walk of Soroa, but if you've driven up from the autopista, the first place you'll get to, 100m or so from the Villa Soroa hotel, is the car park for El Salto, a 20m-high waterfall. Though a relatively modest cascade, a dip in the refreshing waters is a fitting reward for the half-hour walk through the woods to reach it; take the dirt track from the car park.
Signposted from the El Salto car park, the scenic viewpoint of El Mirador de Soroa is the more challenging of the two hills in the area, and you may well feel like a massage after the thirty-minute hike up along an increasingly steep and narrow (though shady) dirt track. While there are a number of possible wrong turns on the way up, you can avoid getting lost by simply following the track with the horse dung – many people choose to ride up on horseback. At the summit you'll find vultures circling the rocky, uneven platform and impressive views over the undulating peaks of palm-smothered hills.
On the way up to El Mirador de Soroa, a sign points over a small bridge towards the Baños Romanos, located in an unassuming stone cabin; massages, cold sulphurous baths and other treatments including acupuncture can be arranged here through the Villa Soroa hotel.
The Sierra del Rosario's birds
The Sierra del Rosario's birds
A mixture of semitropical rainforest and evergreen forest, the Sierra del Rosario is home to a rich variety of bird species, fifty percent of which are endemic to this region. Among the more notable of the seventy-or-so species here are the white-and-red Cuban trogon or tocororo, Cuba's national bird, and the Cuban grassquit, known in Spanish as the tomeguín del Pinar.

The Importance Of Having A Dog Bed
I don't think I have to explain greatly how big a role a good quality plays in everybody's life. A bed decides whether you'll have a good day or a bad day, because the quality of one's sleep depends greatly on the quality of the bed.
The days of cots and old blankets are long gone!
That's why it's terribly important for a dog to have a good quality bed, too. The days of cots and old blankets are long gone, today's dog owners realise that the quality of their pets' sleep is just as important as their own.
Modern dog beds are waterproof and come with firmer padding. You can even choose models that come with memory foam, so the bed will fit your dog perfectly every night!
What kind of mattress should I buy? What brand? Which model? Please advise!

I am an avid Turkish Liverpool fan, due to my fathers enthusiasm for the team. But unfortunately, I am part of the new generations of Liverpool fans who has only heard the tales of the 70's and 80's when Liverpool were world beaters and hopefully I will witness this again under Brendan Rodgers. My only witness of glory for my beloved club is our latest trophy to be won under Dalglish, the Carling Cup and my first true memory of Liverpool is our champions league defeat to AC Milan in 2007. Therefore, sadly my only real experience of Liverpool is an inconsistent mid-table team, although our heritage and fan base is not one of that, which has allowed me to see what a fantastic club Liverpool really is.
Formula 1 is another passion of mine. I'm one of Hamilton's many followers as the year I first took interest in the sport was the year he won the championship, plus his British background. Hopefully with Mercedes we'll see him stop Red Bull's supremacy and win the championship in what could be the most exciting season of Formula 1 yet.
Snooker is another hobby of mine and the pocket rocket Mr. O'Sullivan is the man who I back but it is a shame that his mental stability has hindered his career as he could have achieved so much despite already achieving more than most. All in all I enjoy playing, watching and reading about most sports.
I feel being a Liverpool fan during recent years has helped me to come to realistic judgements and consider all perspectives before forming an opinion on an issue. I do not intend to argue or offend anyone but banter is always welcome. :D
There was no way that was a penalty
I mean did you stream the game..
Are you streaming the game?
I am a genius.
We are drawing now. When Lukaku comes on watch this space...
Fair enough but didn't you even see the first goal in the analysis though? Definitely displayed my point. It's your opinion though.
Did you see the Man Utd- West Ham game? If you did then you were very wrong about Anderson one touch one delightful pass. Top class player who should play consistantly at attacking midfield. He does that constantly. Injuries and being played out of position are the only things slowing him down.
The site I wanted to send you: www.vipstand.net. If that doesn't work you can try www.nkora.net or www.thefirstrow.eu. Those are the ones I know but there are way more out there.

Awful Paranoia Could Cost Ford an Oscar for 42
- Monday, August 19, 2013
Adam agrees but then finds himself in over his head, exploiting an Eikon marketing executive (Amber Heard, Drive Angry) for information, even as he falls for her.
That relationship subplot is just one of Paranoia's excuses for showing its lead actor shirtless. Although Hemsworth has more potential as an actor than his hunk-of-the-moment reputation might indicate, the filmmakers all-too-apparently doubt their audience's interest in his acting ability. The same can't be said for Oldman and Ford, who dig into their villainous roles with relish, even though the story, based on a novel by Joseph Finder, plays like a rehash of every other corporate thriller of the past decade.
Will the failure of Paranoia hurt Ford's 42 Oscar chances? Maybe not. To do damage, voters will have to remember Paranoia come the end of the year. Frankly, those who see it will have a hard time remembering it by the time they go home. Despite some zesty moments for Oldman and Ford, Paranoia evokes nothing like the sensation indicated by its title. "Ponderous" is more apt.
CAUTIONS (may contain spoilers):
- Language/Profanity: Lord's name taken in vain; s-word; a-word; "what the hell"; "p-ss and vinegar"
- Drinking/Smoking: Several scenes of drinking, including excessive consumption at a nightclub; Jock's son is said to have died from a drug overdose; cigar smoking
- Sex/Nudity: A man stares at a woman's backside; a nightclub bouncer says the club has a "no virgins" policy; a man says to a woman that now that they're not working together, the can start sleeping together; at a nightclub, a woman tells her male co-workers that if they don't "get lucky" that night, they never will; Adam wakes up in the bed of a woman he met at a nightclub; we see Adam's chest several times, and see him walking around with a towel around his waist, as well as showering (from the waist up); a woman wrapped in a towel gets out of the shower; when a man's girlfriend gets hit on at a bar, her boyfriend informs the man, "We're sleeping together"; Adam says, "I'm trying to sleep my way to the top"; kissing; Adam and Emma have sex, and we see both of their bare upper backs
- Violence/Crime: Adam struggles with an armed man; punching; a man is struck by a car
- Religion/Morals/Marriage: Adam's team members criticize him for "arguing with God"—a reference to their company's boss; trust is said to be the "holy grail" of espionage; a character says, "there is no right and wrong, only winning and losing"

House conservatives, fearing that Republican leaders may try to avoid an election-year confrontation with the Obama administration, are insisting that House Speaker John Boehner press ahead with contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Eric Holder over the Fast and Furious gun-running operation.
Five House Republican freshmen wrote to Boehner, R-Ohio, demanding that he schedule a vote on the contempt charges, something Boehner has so far resisted.
"It's time for the House to formally recognize the obvious: That Attorney General Holder has not and will not cooperate with the legitimate investigation launched by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and is therefore in contempt of Congress," the freshmen said in the letter.
House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., wants Holder to turn over additional information, including internal Justice Department emails related to Fast and Furious, an operation in which U.S. officials allowed American guns to flow to Mexico in hopes of following the guns to drug cartel leaders. One of those guns was used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in 2010.
Boehner has not scheduled a vote on the contempt charges against Holder and is instead trying to keep the Republican-controlled House focused on election-year issues like the struggling economy, the national debt and unemployment.
"Listen, the campaign is going to be about economics, going to be about jobs, as it should be," Boehner recently told reporters.
Boehner's qualms about starting a legal battle with the Obama administration just six months ahead of a pivotal election may be justified, political experts said. Such a fight could backfire against Republicans just as they're fighting to retake the White House and Senate, they said.
Boehner was in office during the 1999 Republican-led impeachment of then-President Clinton. After the trial and impeachment, Clinton's poll numbers shot to a record highs while only a fraction of Americans supported the Republican efforts to oust him. The public's unfavorable view of the GOP during that time jumped 10 percentage points.
"Boehner is right to push consensus and conciliation and to emphasize fiscal austerity, rather than risk polarizing the country again over an issue that is not central to the campaign and could well be incendiary," said Democratic strategist and pollster Doug Schoen, who advised Clinton's presidential campaign.
Even as pressure is intensifying from conservatives, many of them newcomers who have grown impatient with Boehner's conciliatory style, the House speaker is clearly looking for a less confrontational way to settle the dispute between Issa's committee and Holder.
Boehner last week approached President Obama during a private meeting at the White House and asked him to turn over more information related to the Fast and Furious Operation. A few days later, Boehner wrote to Holder, offering him another chance to turn over the information the House wants and warning that if he fails to do so "the House will act to fulfill our constitutional obligations in the coming weeks."
Freshman Rep. Ben Quayle, R-Ariz., who signed the letter to Boehner this week, called Boehner's missive to Holder "too little, too late."
Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, a member of the House committee investigating Fast and Furious, was equally impatient.
"I think the next step is to move forward with contempt," Farenthold told The Washington Examiner. "The time for waiting is over."

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - Critics of Albuquerque police say they are planning a protest march in June and plan to put the city's top officer "on trial."
David Correia, a critic of the police and an American studies professor at the University of New Mexico, said the march is scheduled for June 21 at Roosevelt Park and is expected to draw the families of those shot by police.
Earlier this month at a rowdy city council meeting, Correia called for a citizen's arrest of Police Chief Gorden Eden over recent police shootings. Protesters say they intend to put Eden on trial.
The city is entering negotiations with the Justice Department over pending reform following a harsh report blasting Albuquerque police on its use of force and 39 police shootings since 2010.

Wet Seal Inc. (WTSLA) unveiled a series of cost-reduction efforts, including the elimination of the chief operating officer position, that will save the teen-clothing retailer about $5.5 million this year.
The company said that President and Chief Operating Officer Ken Seipel will resign, effectively immediately, to pursue other professional opportunities. Newly installed Chief Executive John Goodman will now lead store operations, e-commerce and construction functions, while Chief Financial Officer Steve Benrubi will oversee the information-technology and real-estate functions.
"The company is in process of reviewing various business strategies and practices, with the goal of increasing operational efficiency and profitability and aligning our workforce to our current business needs," Mr. Goodman said. "We are in the early stages of implementation."
As part of the review, Wet Seal is eliminating the chief operating officer role and cutting 35 other positions to align with its current business requirements. The company has about 7,283 employees, according to its most recent annual recent. The workforce reductions are expected to result in annualized pretax savings of about $3.8 million beginning in fiscal 2013, and Wet Seal expects to incur one-time severance charges of about $1.3 million in its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter.
For the current fiscal year, the company also plans to save about $2.5 million in costs related to store labor through staffing-efficiency measures, and reduce another approximately $2.1 million in other costs.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, Wet Seal said it executed early lease terminations for two Arden B stores that had lease terms extending beyond fiscal 2013. Those stores, which incurred 2012 operating losses of about $1 million, will close at the end of fiscal 2012.
However, the company anticipates to add $1.9 million in expenses related to human-resources investments and $2 million in additional legal-defense costs for the full year.
Overall, Wet Seal projects that the initiatives will benefit fiscal 2013 diluted per-share earnings by four cents.
Meanwhile, the company's board has authorized a $25 million share-repurchase program, representing about 10% of its total market capitalization based on its closing share price on Jan. 31. It said that the repurchase program will be funded using existing cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Since Wet Seal's previous CEO was dismissed last July, the company has had a somewhat rocky time. It fought a prolonged proxy battle with hedge-fund manager Clinton Group Inc., a major stockholder that sought the company's sale. The dispute ended with Clinton naming four new board members.
The company reported stronger bottom-line results for most of 2011, but has since seen weaker demand for its fashion merchandise.
Wet Seal's Class A shares edged up a penny to $2.78 after hours Friday. The stock is down 23% over the past 12 months.

EDITOR'S NOTE: A second story about the archeological dig at Gezer, Israel, follows below this story from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
GEZER, Israel (BP)--An archeological team from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has uncovered a natural cave at the end of a Canaanite water system in Israel, shedding light on an Old Testament culture.
The Gezer Water System Expedition, about 20 miles west of Jerusalem, is a joint project of NOBTS and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. Dan Warner, associate professor of Old Testament and archaeology at NOBTS, and Tsvika Tsuk of INPA are directing the excavation of the ancient Tel Gezer water system, which dates as early as 1800 B.C.
"The research at Gezer is important to Baptists because of our commitment to understand the Bible within its historical context," Warner said. "Any information we can gain to give better insights into the cultures of the biblical world helps us interpret the Bible.
"Most think of the Canaanites as an old, rustic culture -- not so," Warner noted. "Digging the water system took great technical and hydraulic skill. This was a very advanced and sophisticated culture that had pronounced impact in biblical times."
It is believed the Canaanites cut the massive tunnel around the time of Abraham using flint tools. Measuring nearly 13 feet wide by 24 feet high at the opening and stretching 150 feet into the ground at a 38 degree slope, the Gezer tunnel is the largest ancient water system ever unearthed.
Late in the last week of the 2011 dig, the NOBTS team found the natural cave at the end of the massive rock-hewn water system -- the prime objective of this season's dig. It is believed that the system's original water source is located in or near the opening of the cave.
The excavation, which removed 230 tons of dirt this summer, created quite a stir within the Israeli archaeological community. Numerous archaeological dignitaries made their way to Gezer to tour the site this year. Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron, two archaeologists who wrote an influential article on the subject in 2003, were among the guests. Sam Wolff and others from the Israel Antiquities Authority also visited the site. The NOBTS team encompassed the work of 33 people at different times during the summer.
The buzz has continued in the United States. In October, Warner will present his research at the Oklahoma Water Research Symposium and Governor's Water Conference, and in November, he will give lectures at the Near Eastern Archaeological Society and American Schools of Oriental Research meetings in San Francisco.
NOBTS professors Dennis Cole, Jim Parker and Harold Mosley also are involved with the dig. Cole and Warner co-direct the Center for Archaeological Research at New Orleans Seminary.
The water system and the cave were discovered more than a century ago by Irish archaeologist R.A.S. Macalister during his excavation at Gezer from 1906-08. French archaeologist Pére L.H. Vincent visited the water system and the cave during Macalister's excavation. Neither archaeologist fully excavated the cave, and they offered conflicting descriptions of the cave and water system.
During next summer's dig, scheduled for May 27-June 15, the New Orleans team will focus on excavating the cave in hopes of answering several lingering questions about the water system. First and foremost, the team will try to discover how the Canaanites knew about the water source. Warner believes the Canaanites found the water source through an opening in the cave located outside the city walls. He speculates that the tunnel was cut to provide the city with a safe water source during times of siege.
"The tunnel is cut perfectly straight, and it's very artistic. You don't cut something like that blindly," Warner said. "You have to know water is down there. You just aren't going to spend all that time and energy."
Another question involves the date of the tunnel's construction. Macalister, Tsuk, Warner and other archaeologists have proposed an early date for the system -- during the Middle Bronze Age (between 1800 and 1500 B.C.) -- making the Gezer tunnel one of the oldest rock-hewn water systems ever discovered.
Other scholars, including noted archaeologist William Dever, do not believe the system is that old. He has proposed a Late Bronze Age or Iron Age date for the tunnel. Warner remains hopeful that evidence can be found to settle the long-running debate over the date.
"We might get a better perspective [on the date] inside the cave," Warner said. "There might be carvings on the wall or some type of inscription. There could be pottery remains, and if we find consistent pottery remains from the Middle and Late Bronze Age, that at least gives us a pretty good idea that it dates from the start of the Middle Bronze Age."
In 2012, the team also will try to uncover the original water source which Macalister described as a "powerful spring of water." Based on the muddy conditions in the cave, Warner thinks the spring may still be active.
While finding the cave was a major accomplishment, Warner said one of the significant outcomes of this year's dig was gaining accurate measurements of the tunnel. Vincent's measurements proved to be much more accurate than Macalister's. Since Macalister and Vincent offered differing descriptions of the cave, setting the record straight will be a key component of the 2012 dig.
So far Macalister's drawings and descriptions of the inside of the cave correspond better with what the dig team experienced this year, including a series of large flat stones near the mouth. Vincent shows a cave completely obstructed by large rounded rocks. He also indicates an exit at the end of the cave.
Macalister's drawings do not show this opening. According to Parker, the NOBTS researchers hope to settle the matter of the possible exit. The team also will provide new measurements, descriptions, drawings and photographs of the cave's interior.

Seminary innovates,
perseveres at Israel site
By Gary D. Myers
GEZER, Israel (BP)--To say that New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary is engaged in a unique archaeological dig would be a colossal understatement. In many ways, its Gezer Water System excavation is a bit moving a mountain.
Traditional archaeology involves long hours of tedious work with a trowel, brush and a sifting screen. Small amounts of dirt are meticulously sifted to check for artifacts. Artifacts are carefully logged using time-honored scientific methods.
However: The Gezer Water System Expedition, a joint project of NOBTS and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, requires a different, more physical approach in excavating an ancient water system that could date to the time of Abraham.
Because the massive tunnel, cut by the Canaanites by hand using flint tools, was excavated by Irish archaeologist R.A.S. Macalister from 1906-08, the New Orleans team did not sift the dirt during the first two dig seasons.
The massive water system measures 13 feet wide by 24 feet high and stretches 150 feet into the ground at a 38-degree angle. When NOBTS started the dig, nearly 65 percent of the tunnel was filled with dirt. During his dig 100 years ago, Macalister built a rock retaining wall to hold back the debris he removed. The wall, located near the mouth of the tunnel, collapsed after heavy rains in 1908 sending tons of rocks and dirt back into the water system. Over the years more dirt and debris has collected in the tunnel.
The process of clearing the tons of dirt, broken flint tools, pottery shards and rocks has been no easy task. It takes equal parts of innovation and determination for the excavation directed by Dan Warner, NOBTS associate professor of Old Testament and archaeology, and Tsvika Tsuk of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.
For the 2010 dig season, NOBTS professor Jim Parker, a team member experienced as a coal miner and engineer, devised an excavation system which included large fabric bags and a crane. Three or four workers would shovel debris into the bags which hold more than 300 pounds of material each. The bags were pulled from the tunnel with the crane and dumped in a debris pile.
The system worked well for the first year of the dig, but Parker and Warner realized that innovation would be needed for 2011. The deeper the team progressed into the tunnel, the longer it took the crane to pull out the bags, creating a backlog that hampered progress.
Parker decided to add the winch near the mouth of the tunnel for the second dig season. The debris-filled bags were pulled to a staging area at the mouth of the tunnel by the winch. The winch decreased the lag time caused by the crane and proved to be an essential component in the team's success.
Macalister and French archaeologist Pére Vincent, who visited the site during the original excavation, described a natural cave at the end of the water system. Warner and Parker believe the cave may help them determine how the Canaanites located the water source and when the tunnel was cut. Reaching the cave became the primary objective of this year's dig.
To reach their goal, Warner and Parker recruited a much larger dig team than they had in 2010. Early on, the team encountered a major setback: several team members contracted the flu. As the sickness sidelined some, the rest of the team worked long days removing as much as 16 tons of material per day. The sickness continued to affect the team well into the second week of the dig.
The physically demanding work was intensified by the conflicting information about the water tunnel in the writings of Macalister and Vincent. Based on Macalister's descriptions and the first week's progress, Warner and Parker believed the team would reach the cave between June 1 and 3. The team kept a steady pace, removing 80 to 100 bags of debris per day, and passed Macalister's measurement on June 2, but still no cave. After two more days of digging the team was discouraged.
On June 5, the team encountered the most difficult digging of the season. The bottom of the tunnel was packed with rocks believed to be part of Macalister's collapsed retaining wall. Warner and Parker had expected to find portions of the wall near the opening of the cave. For them, the rocks were a good sign.
After slowly digging through the rocks for a day and a half, the team reached the cave on June 7. It was 15 feet deeper into the water system than Macalister had recorded. The cave was filled to the top with fine, muddy silt. The last two days of the dig were spent cutting a 3-foot by 17-foot trench into the cave silt, readying the site for the 2012 dig.
The final statistics from this summer are helpful in understanding the massive scope of the dig. According to Parker's calculations, the team removed 231 tons of debris (1,372 bags) in 17 days of digging. Warner and Parker's smaller 2010 team removed 68 tons of debris.
The NOBTS team is clearing the entire width of the tunnel, but only about 8 feet of the height. The other material did not need to be removed for Warner to research the natural cave. The layer of dirt also helped protect the hand-carved steps on the floor of the water system.
The INPA likely will clear out the remaining debris from the tunnel and develop the water system as a tourist attraction. According to Parker's estimates, the remaining debris could top out around 860 tons.
The 2012 dig, set for May 27 through June 15, will focus on clearing the cave and will involve a more traditional archaeological approach. Neither Macalister nor Vincent completely excavated the cave, so Warner and Parker believe that it may hold ancient artifacts.
