Football: Nash on the spot to rescue point for Dursley against Cam
4:49pm Wednesday 30th January 2013
4:49pm Wednesday 30th January 2013
AARON Nash converted a stoppage-time penalty to grab a dramatic derby point for Dursley and prevent rivals Cam from climbing to the top of the league table.
The Bulldogs twice came from behind to take the lead with eight minutes to go, but were unable to hold on for a third victory of the season over their near neighbours.
Despite seeing two points snatched away from his team late on, Cam manager Simon Penny was philosophical about the outcome.
"A draw was a fair result," he said. "I wasn't happy with our performance, but we'll take two wins and a draw against Dursley over the course of the season."
Town counterpart Terry Stevenson agreed that both teams were worth their point, but rued the way his side surrendered the initiative after making a fine start.
He said: "We were the better side in the first half, but we gave away far too many free-kicks and let them back in. It was a very cool penalty from Aaron, though."
Dursley did indeed make the better start, Martin Booth and Aaron Nash both forcing Bulldogs goalkeeper Ben Jagger into important stops inside the opening ten minutes.
However, there was no stopping Booth's 21st-minute opener, a spectacular volley after Aaron Nash sped past Chris Lindsay and fizzed a ball across the six-yard box.
Cam equalised eight minutes before the break when Ash Caldwell found space on the right and crossed low for Adam Philp to apply a simple finish from close range.
The home side so nearly went back in front in first half injury time, but Aaron Nash's brilliantly struck free-kick cannoned against the crossbar.
Nine minutes into the second half, though, Town forged ahead once again when Ian Lyon's free-kick eventually ricocheted to Curtis Mills, who finished from close in.
In response, Josh Hill curled a 20-yard effort just wide before Philp forced Miles Palmer into a terrific save after letting fly from similar range.
Almost immediately came the pivotal moment, Mills racing into the penalty area to lash the ball beyond Jagger, only for the flag to be raised for offside.
Cam were soon level as Sean Bailey's free-kick fell to Philp, who drove the ball across goal for Luke Morrissey to turn past Palmer.
Dursley boss Stevenson introduced Karl Nash and Matt Humphrey from the bench, but the move looked to have backfired eight minutes from time. Humphrey was penalised for a clumsy challenge on Sam Blackie inside the box and Philp converted from the spot to put the Bulldogs ahead for the first time.
Deep into injury-time, though, the referee spotted Aaron Booth pushing Karl Nash as he attacked a Mike Reece free-kick and Aaron Nash kept cool from 12 yards.
Dursley: M Palmer; S Hobbs (M Humphrey 75), S Miles, D McNally, M Reece; I Lyon, P Miles, C Dummelow (B Jones 90); Aaron Nash, M Booth (K Nash 73), C Mills.
Goals: Booth (21), Mills (54), A Nash (pen 90+3).
Cam: B Jagger; N Vines, S Bailey, C Lindsay, J Hemper; J Hill (J Mackie 77), A Caldwell, A Booth, S Blackie, L Morrissey; A Philp.
Goals: Philp (37 & pen 82), Morrissey (70).

By Judyrae Kruse Herald Columnist
Judyrae Kruse is taking some time off. Here is an encore column from May 2005.
There are mornings when we all fly out of bed ready to seize the day and conquer the world.
Other mornings inevitably make me want to snuggle down, cuddle up and listen to the rain drumming on the roof and hear the branches of the vine maple dancing against the deck in the wind.
That's my kind of morning, and this past Monday was definitely one of those.
I knew without ever opening my eyes it was a day deliciously destined to be spent in the kitchen, giving an occasional stir to a bubbling pot and keeping an eye on a batch of bread mixed, kneaded and on the rise.
I also knew I had all the makings to pull off a perfect rainy night supper — something lifted right out of the pages of my childhood, and one of Daddy's absolute all-time favorite things. Ham and beanders, as he called it.
A nice tossed salad and a favorite hot bread — garlic, corn, beer bread, biscuits, damper or a plain homemade loaf of whatever suits your fancy — are all you need to round out the menu.
Will you like, let alone love, this humble old-time classic of my family's? Maybe. Maybe not. But I sure hope you will, so here we go with:
Ham and beanders
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large or 2-3 small ribs celery, thinly sliced (limp celery is fine for this)
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 meaty ham bone (figure at least 2 cups or more edible ham)
1 bay leaf
Pinch marjoram (optional)
2 cups uncooked great northern beans
6¼ cups water
Johnny's Dock or other favorite seasoning salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Tapatio or other liquid hot-pepper seasoning to taste
Chopped sweet onion to taste
Turn onion, celery and garlic into Dutch oven or large, heavy saucepan with a lid.
Shove ham down into vegetables and move it around so it's on the bottom of the pan, surrounded by the vegetables.
Break bay leaf in half and drop into pan along with marjoram.
Pick over, rinse and drain beans; add to pan, sprinkling around ham on top of the vegetables. Add water and bring to boil; cover and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 3½ hours, give or take, until beans are tender but not mushy.
Lift pan off heat, lift out ham bone and ham and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut meat into bite-size pieces, discarding fat, gristle and bones; return to pan, season with Johnny's Dock, pepper and Tapatio and heat until hot and bubbling, stirring frequently.
Serve topped with chopped onion.

AGA Participates in U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety Forum
Washington, D.C. - The American Gas Association (AGA) today participated in the U.S. Department of Transportation s (DOT) Pipeline Safety Forum. The purpose of the forum is to bring together local natural gas utilities, pipeline operators, regulators, state officials and the public in order to discuss steps for improving the safety and efficiency of the nation s pipeline infrastructure.
We are pleased that Secretary LaHood is taking such an active role surrounding safety in the natural gas industry, said Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of AGA. Now more than ever, natural gas is a critical energy source for our nation, and we are committed to the safe, reliable delivery of this energy to the 175 million Americans who use it every day. AGA and our members are continually working with key stakeholders to advance the safety of the industry and we re pleased to continue that commitment with Secretary LaHood.
AGA is advocating for legislation that includes strong enforcement of the Dial 811 Call Before You Dig program, with no exemptions. Where it is economically, technically and operationally feasible, AGA supports the use of automatic shutoff valves and remote control valves on transmission lines that are being constructed or entirely replaced, and the use of Excess Flow Valves for distribution branch services, multi-family facilities, and small commercial facilities.
McCurdy added Safety is our top priority and any incident is one too many. Through bipartisan pipeline safety reauthorization, including effective safety provisions, implementation of the Distribution Integrity Management Program and continued success as a result of the operator qualification rule, we are working to make the safest mode of transportation, even safer.
Three AGA members participated in panels during the forum to discuss the safety of the system, top priorities and challenges and solutions.
Safety is our top priority and it s something operators are focused on from morning till night, said Scott Cisel, chairman, president and CEO of Ameren Illinois. We are members of the communities in which we serve, and we take the commitment to safety seriously both on a personal and professional level. We want what our neighbors, friends and family want safe and reliable access to energy this is our goal every day. Cisel represented the AGA Safety Committee.
AGA s presentations from the form can be accessed here.

We received a letter from one of our Seminary adjunct faculty members, Dr. Bill Gasser who is a military chaplain stationed in Kuwait. It got us thinking about how it is just one in a thousand different stories we can tell you about how Thanksgiving is spent overseas by our alumni and extended "family"...
Nov. 23, 2008
Hello from Kuwait!
I've been in-country now for two weeks and I'm getting settled with the new time zone, climate, and culture. At times the landscape looks and feels like some remote stretch of California desert... except that there are no mountains, most of the writing is in Arabic, and the drivers are more aggressive! I spend most of my time at one camp but also work at several others so I do some traveling on Kuwait's highway system each week. The speed limit is 120 kph (75 miles per hour) but lots of people go faster, ride the bumper of the car they want to pass, and feel free to exit or enter the highway at high speed at any point without warning or regard to other vehicles. The occasional goats, sheep, or camels that wander into traffic complete the picture.
Camp life is pretty comfortable, even though we live in tents or other temporary structures. Most of the work and living spaces are air conditioned during the day (and heated at night this time of year). I'm part of a care team of chaplains and medical professionals assigned to the Warrior Transition Program. Our task is to help prepare inbound troops to begin their tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, and then to get them ready to go home as their tours end. It's a pretty cool job! I lead workshops, do counseling, and offer pastoral assistance for troops in motion. Obviously there are many needs and many opportunities for ministry and I'm very excited about this open door to serve!
Our days start early and end late. We typically work seven days a week, including Sundays (I can usually catch a Sunday evening worship service or an evening Bible study during the week). As I mentioned, we work at several bases and camps across Kuwait and as our program continues to develop we anticipate broadening our work further to include sending teams to visit forward deployed units. The troops we work with have remarkable commitment and great willingness to sacrifice and we are trying hard to serve their needs. Each person on the care team and support staff honestly counts it a privilege to be a part of this important work.
Keeping busy does make the time go a little faster. It's now been six weeks since I left Portland and I am missing Teri and the kids. For most of my adult life I've left home for several weeks of military duty each year, but this time it's different because it's so much longer in duration and so much farther from home. That's an adjustment for us. Like most people, we probably tended to take each other for granted when we were together every day. Being gone like this is a reminder of how blessed we are to be with our loved ones every day. Seems like the desert is a good place to gain perspective, maybe that's why the Lord kept sending His people there?
I'll try to keep you posted with occasional e-mails like this. I'd love to hear back from you as well. I greatly appreciate the prayers of believers. Please join me in asking God to comfort and care for my family each day that I'm away. Please pray for me to be strengthened in body and spirit so that I may serve effectively as a faithful minister of Jesus Christ, and ask the Lord to keep opening doors of opportunity. If you care to write to me, my personal e-mail is email@example.com. I have access to e-mail most days unless I'm on the road. A note for all you facebook users; sorry but I can't log into facebook from my work computer so better to use e-mail if you want to get in touch. Old fashioned postal mail works too, in fact you can send a letter to me with just a regular first class stamp if you use this address: CDR Bill Gasser, CHC, USN; ECRC - WTP, Zone 6; Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, APOAE, 09366.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and may the Lord bless you,
Bill Gasser
p.s. - here's a quick pic of me by my neighborhood, all our homes look just alike!
To All Of Our Alumni and Family Ministering Abroad This Thanksgiving - We Are Thankful For You!

NJ Holiday Drunk Driving Crackdown Underway [AUDIO]
Law enforcement officials will be cracking down on drunk drivers as part of the annual holiday season "Drive Sober, Or Get Pulled Over" statewide drunk driving enforcement campaign.
More than 400 law enforcement agencies in the state will begin sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols this weekend, the Division of Highway Traffic Safety announced.
The crackdowns began on December 7th and runs until January 2nd. More than $400,000 will be distributed to 95 participating agencies in the form of a $4,400 grant from the Division and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) to help fund the patrols.
The holiday season is a particularly dangerous time on the road. During December 2010, 30 percent of all fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involved alcohol-impaired drivers. Data also shows that among those alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities, 71 percent occurred when drivers had nearly twice the legal limit blood alcohol concentration.
"Lots of folks will be out during this busy holiday season, enjoying themselves and the holiday festivities, and we want everyone to be safe on our roadways," said Division of Highway Traffic Safety Acting Director Gary Poedubicky. "That's why we will be stepping up enforcement to catch and arrest impaired drivers. If you are caught drinking and driving impaired, you will be arrested. No warnings. No excuses."
"No one ever thinks that their holiday celebration will end in jail, or worse, in a hospital or the morgue," Poedubicky said. "But for those who include alcohol in their celebrations and then get behind the wheel, this is often the case."
In 2011, there were 152 fatalities directly attributed to impaired driving in the state, accounting for 24 percent of the 627 total crash fatalities.
In the winter of 2011, the holiday crackdowns resulted in 1,877 Driving While Intoxicated arrests. In addition, participating police agencies issued 8,345 speeding summonses and 4,420 seat belt summonses, and more than 2,000 fugitives were apprehended during the mobilization.
"This is a comprehensive program…police officers are looking for speeders, those who are talking or using hand-held cell phones, not wearing seat belts, but the primary focus is cracking down on impaired drivers, whether its for alcohol or drugs," said Poedubicky.
The Division of Highway Traffic Safety offers the following advice to ensure a safe holiday travel season for those who choose to drink alcohol:
Take mass transit, a taxi or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
Spend the night rather than get behind the wheel.
Report impaired drivers to law enforcement. In New Jersey, drivers may dial #77 to report a drunk or aggressive driver.
Always buckle up, every ride, regardless of your seating position in the vehicle. It's your best defense against an impaired driver.
If you're intoxicated and traveling on foot, the safest way to get home is to take a cab or have a sober friend or family member drive or escort you to your doorstep.
"We want everyone to have a safe, happy and enjoyable holiday and stay alive on our roadways," added Poedubicky.

When filmmaker Lucy Walker was debuting two movies at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, she heard the Park City locals talking about Kevin Pearce the Olympics-bound snowboarder who suffered a horrific head injury at the Park City Mountain Resort's halfpipe three weeks earlier.
"It was just a feeling in the air, with everybody just after the accident," Walker recalled. "They were really hurting."
Walker will return to Sundance this January, telling Pearce's story in the documentary "The Crash Reel," which has been selected as the festival's Salt Lake City Gala film, to screen Jan. 18.
"The Crash Reel" is one of 29 titles announced Monday, Dec. 3, in the Premieres and Documentary Premieres categories the films that typically feature bigger budgets and more recognizable stars. (Last week, Sundance officials announced titles in the festival's competition categories, which includes the directorial debut of Utahn Jerusha Hess's film "Austenland," adapted from South Jordan author Shannon Hale's novel. The festival also announced the titles in the Spotlight, Park City at Midnight and New Frontier sections.)
Choosing "The Crash Reel" for the Salt Lake City opening was easy, said festival director John Cooper. "These are people that the locals know quite well," Cooper said of Pearce, the snowboarding community, and the University of Utah doctors who treated Pearce after his Dec. 31, 2009, crash.
Walker's film "does celebrate [Pearce] as an incredible athlete. And it looks at the issues of safety in an important way, but it's not preachy at all," said Trevor Groth, the festival's programming director.
This year's Sundance's Premieres slate is notable for its profiles of fascinating people, from dramatic depictions of computer pioneer Steve Jobs and porn star Linda Lovelace to documentaries about attorney Anita Hill, NBA phenom Jeremy Lin and rock supergroup The Eagles.
Complex sexual relationships are a theme common to several of the Premieres films, Cooper said. The films explore issues of love and control, "not just for power, but the human nature for desire," Cooper said.
Among the Premieres titles Cooper cited for their sexual themes are: "Don Jon's Addiction," starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Looper") as a lothario; "Two Mothers," in which Naomi Watts and Robin Wright portray friends who begin affairs with each other's sons; "Very Good Girls," starring Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen as teens seeking to lose their virginity; and two movies set in the porn industry "The Look of Love," a portrait of British porn publisher Paul Raymond (Steve Coogan), and "Lovelace," the dramatized biography of the "Deep Throat" star (played by Amanda Seyfried).
"The Crash Reel" is the fifth film Walker has made that has been accepted to Sundance. "I'm a Sundance junkie," she said. "There's nothing better than premiering your film at Sundance."
Walker said she was compelled to make "The Crash Reel" after meeting Pearce. She was mentoring at a retreat held by the shoe company Nike for its top-sponsored athletes, and Pearce was one of those attending.
"It was very moving to meet him, and realize he'd gone from being an Olympic hopeful on top of the world to being in a coma fighting for his life," Walker said. "All the light bulbs on top of my head lit up: 'Here it comes, your next film.' "
Walker learned to ski at age 18, but she said she's hopeless on a snowboard.
"Put me on a halfpipe and I would have a panic attack," she said. "That adds to my admiration to these incredible daredevils. The courage it takes to do these tricks on a hard surface, with all the variables you get with ice and edges and weather. I'm in awe of what they do. And I worry about them."
Part of "The Crash Reel" looks at another athlete, skier Sarah Burke, who died after an accident on the same Park City halfpipe on Jan. 19, 2012.
Burke's accident occurred just as the Sundance Film Festival was beginning, and Walker again had a film there the short "The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom."
"I remember chatting to all the wait staff [in Park City] and all the locals, and they were all crying," Walker said. "They were just stunned and devastated."
The first Park City screening of "The Crash Reel," Walker said, will take place on Saturday, Jan. 19 the first anniversary of Burke's death. Walker said a tribute is being planned to honor Burke.
"She's such a hero to me, and to everyone in the community," Walker said.

"The performing arts have always been a passion that I have continually cultivated in my life. I have had the great fortune to challenge myself in the performing arts by majoring in Performance and Communication Arts as well as being very involved in the Music Department-sponsored ensembles."
In her four years at St. Lawrence she was a part of three Music Department ensembles (the Laurentian Singers, the Early Music Singers, and the Concert Band) which not only taught her more about music, but also her capabilities as a student and musician. All three ensembles helped her to reach out to her community and peers in a special and unique way. Being a part of the Laurentian Singers and having the ability to tour every spring break not only was a great way to visit different cities in the United States and learn more about music, but also reach out to those in need of hearing uplifting and powerful music.
"The absolute best feeling is when I am singing the school songs at different events on campus or at the end of our concerts because I truly understand in those four minutes what it means to be a part of the St. Lawrence tradition and community."

RALEIGH, NC -- Hest Technologies Inc. and International Internet Technologies LLC said they will seek to appeal last week's anti-sweepstakes videogame ruling here to the U.S. Supreme Court. Technically, a petition for a writ of certiorari has been filed with the nation's highest court in Washington.
On Dec. 18, Hest and IIT also filed a motion requesting that the state Supreme Court delay enforcement of its ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court accepted or rejected the case. But the North Carolina high court denied that motion within 24 hours.
Accordingly, law enforcement officers statewide are preparing to begin shutting down the games on Jan. 3, according to local reports. Industry members said the state high court's ruling will shut down hundreds of businesses across North Carolina and obliterate overnight a market estimated to be worth at least $1 billion.
As earlier reported by Vending Times, the NC Supreme Court on Dec. 14 ruled to uphold the constitutionality of a 2010 state law outlawing sweepstakes videogames. | SEE STORY
In March 2012, a state appeals court found the games were a constitutionally protected form of free speech, not gambling. It was this finding that the state Supreme Court overturned last week.

Breaking My Rules
For over a year not very long ago, I had a plethora of very strange rules for myself to follow. I could only eat certain things at certain times. I had numbers that dictated my actions, numbers of calories and daily intake percentages and pounds. It was a suffocating process; luckily, I never followed my regulations enough for it to impact my health. Still, it affected my mind quite a bit.
Perhaps more damaging to my self-esteem was my body image. Unlike the majority of the population, especially teenagers, I really don't enjoy food very much. This made any disordered eating-type behaviors extremely easy for me.
Most of my friends are exceptionally thin, as in magazine-ad thin. Most of them are athletic and/or naturally thin; as …

Mount Saint Mary College recently held a pinning ceremony for 35
graduates of the college's adult accelerated program.
Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, president, gave an invocation and
blessed the pins, which were presented to the graduates by chosen
family members and friends.
The Mount Saint Mary College nursing pin displays the college
seal, with the motto, "doce me veritatem," which translates as
"teach me the truth."
Mount professors Jill Brennan-Cook, Dianne Murphy, and Andrea
Ackermann offered the graduates words of encouragement and advice
for their upcoming nursing careers.
"This evening signifies the tremendous amount of time and hard
work that brought each student to this moment," said Murphy.
The newly-minted nurses recited "A Nurse's Prayer," which speaks
of dedicating one's life to helping others.
Erica Vollano of Napanoch, NY, recipient of the class's
Leadership award, gave her reflections at the ceremony.
"We have come a long way. Our first steps felt scary…and now all
those firsts are merely second nature to our professional nursing
practice," said Vollano. "Throughout our journey, we have had
wonderful instructors that shared their amazing experiences and
words of wisdom."
Catherine Brenneman of Stormville, NY earned the General
Excellence in Nursing award. She was enthusiastic about her
accomplishment and her future career, but admitted that she would
miss the camaraderie she found in spades at the Mount.
"I had a great time here and I learned so much," Brenneman
The graduate credits Murphy with much of her success.
"She was amazing," said Brenneman. "My time with her was a great
way to end the program. She's a great lecturer and very supportive
of Mount students."
Cook explained, "Catherine is a perfect example of an
accelerated student who has juggled her family time around her
school schedule and still obtained exceptional grades."
Sadhana Subramanian of New Windsor, NY earned the award for
Clinical Excellence.
Subramanian, originally of India, described her education
experience as "really wonderful. I have no other words to describe
it. Every class has been like an adventure – a new thing to look
forward to and learn."
The accelerated adults were also full of praise for their
Matthew Riner of Brewster, NY dedicated his pin to his wife,
Kristen, and his daughter, Emma, "for enduring all the late night
classes and weekend clinical rotations over the years." He also
thanked his mother, father and sister "for always being there with
words of love and motivation."
Corinne Pribanich of Danbury, CT said she couldn't have
graduated without the support of her family – especially her
husband, Tim.
"I'm so thankful for their love and encouragement throughout
this journey," she said.
In addition to Vollano, Brenneman, Subramanian, Riner and
Pribanich, the current Mount nursing graduates are: Taj-Monet

Hac Boston
From HaskellWiki
The Haskell Hackathon is an international, grassroots collaborative coding festival with a simple focus: build and improve Haskell libraries, tools, and infrastructure.
Hac Boston will be held January 20 to 22, 2012 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, rooms 4-159 and 4-261. It is open to all — you do not have to be a Haskell guru to attend. All you need is a basic knowledge of Haskell, a willingness to learn, and a project you're excited to help with (or a project of your own to work on).
There will be lots of hacking, some talks, good food, and, of course, fun!
Not to be confused with HAC Boston.
1 Registration
We have room for approximately 80 people, and have just under 50 people registered so far. If you plan to be in the area and are thinking about attending, please register. Registration is free, and open to everyone. If you like, you can also list yourself as an attendee. Then you might want to visit
- the projects page.
- the IRC channel: #haskell-hacboston (freenode)
- the mailing list: firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Sponsors
Hac Boston 2012 is sponsored by Capital IQ and Now Business Intelligence.
3 Dates and Times
The hackathon will run from January 20 to 22, 2012, at the following times:
|Jan 20
|14:30 to 22:00
|Jan 21
|09:00 to 22:00
|Jan 22
|09:00 to 17:00
There will probably be some talks Saturday afternoon.
Although the hackathon won't officially kick off until 2:30pm on Friday, you are welcome to arrive Thursday evening or Friday morning if it makes for easier travel.
4 Food
|Pizza and Salad
|Breakfast (Bacon, Eggs, Veggie option)
|Lunch (Sandwiches, chips, salad)
|Presentations and talks (no dinner)
5 Before you arrive
- Pick out a couple of projects to work on and familiarise yourself with them, or bring your own project(s) to work on. See the projects page for a list of projects people plan to work on. If you plan to work on your own project, be sure to list it on the projects page and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.
- Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc and cabal-install. If you don't already have these installed (or need to install from scratch on the laptop you're bringing), the easiest way is probably to install the Haskell Platform.
6 Talks
If you'd be interested in giving a short (15-20 minute) talk, put your name and the subject of your talk on the talks page. There will be a projector and whiteboard available.
7 Maps
We have a Google map regarding transportation and places to stay, and another with points of interest around Cambridge.
The hackathon itself is in Building 4 spread between rooms 159 and 261.
8 Getting to the Boston area
See also Wikitravel.
8.1 By air
Logan International Airport (BOS) is the closest major airport. From BOS you can take the Silver Line SL1 bus to Boston South Station.
T. F. Green Airport (PVD) in Providence is another option, with a (infrequent) rail connection to Boston South Station.
8.2 By train
Amtrak serves Boston South Station, station code BOS. Service from cities in the Northeast is available on both the Northeast Regional train and the marginally faster Acela Express. These trains also stop at Boston Back Bay (BBY). South Station is the better choice if taking transit to MIT, but Back Bay is closer for walking.
From certain points in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, you can take MBTA commuter rail, which arrives at South Station or North Station.
8.3 By bus
Boston is served by many bus companies. From New York City, reasonable and cheap options include Megabus, BoltBus, Fung Wah, and Lucky Star.
9 Getting to MIT
9.1 By human power
Cambridge is a very walkable city. It is feasible to walk to MIT from many points in Cambridge, Boston, and Brookline. Cambridge is also very bikeable, but maybe not in January.
9.2 By public transit
MIT is close to Kendall Station on the Red Line subway. The Red Line connects to Boston South Station (and its rail and bus terminals) and the rest of the MBTA rapid transit network. MIT is also served by MBTA buses. Google Maps can plan rail and bus trips.
From the Kendall stop on the Red Line, you will need to make your way to building 4. You'll exit on Main St, and you want to go south. For reference, the Marriott and other large buildings are arranged around a courtyard north of Main St.
Next to the subway exit and the MIT Press Bookstore, there is a path which quickly becomes Carleton St. Follow Carleton south past MIT Medical (and maybe some tasty food trucks) until you're forced to veer right onto Amherst St. Continue straight off the end of Amherst, passing the tall Green Building and the pointy metal sculpture. Eventually your path will be obstructed by the interconnected complex of buildings 2, 4, and 6. Go inside and make your way to 4-159. The local inhabitants are friendly and will be happy to point you in the right direction if you get lost.
See also the line drawn on the transportation map.
You could instead cut through MIT Medical and cross Ames St. to enter building 66 (the triangular one). From there you can get to building 4 following interior hallways only. This could be a better option if the weather is terrible.
9.3 By car
Parking possibilities include:
If it's after 5PM on Friday, you might try the Hayward lot.
10 Accommodation
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area.
There are a number of nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site. Boston has several hostels as well.
There may also be some local residents willing to accommodate a few attendees. See the attendees page for more info.
11 Organizers
The organizers of Hac Boston are:
- Edward Kmett (ekmett)
- Edward Yang (ezyang)
For any questions or emergencies, you can always call Edward Kmett at +1 857 244 1001 or Edward Yang at +1 732 947 6971.

Bradley Manning Verdict: Not Guilty of Aiding EnemyKaren Greenberg on The Takeaway, July 30, 2013
Media Source
"Three years is enough," says a placard outside of a courtroom at Fort Meade, Maryland.
That sign is a show of support for Army Private Bradley Manning, who has be in the custody of the U.S. government since 2010. Manning, who leaked thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, was found not guilty of aiding the enemy, the largest charge he faced in military court. He was convicted of at least 20 other charges, including at least 5 charges of espionage. The private had pleaded guilty to 10 criminal counts in connection with the leak to WikiLeaks. Sentencing is expected to begin tomorrow—early reports suggest that Manning could face more than 100 years in prison.
The now-25-year-old Manning uploaded classified Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and other files to Wikileaks and changed the world's understanding of those wars—and this nation's relationship with the rest of the world.
"I believed that if the general public, especially the American public, had access to the information contained within the [Iraq and Afghan War Logs] this could spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as well as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan," Manning has said.
Joining us to discuss the verdict is Karen Greenberg, director of the Center on National Security at Fordham University's School of Law, and Ed Pilkington, reporter for The Guardian.
"I think that is going to be the subject of debate going forward: how the judge made the distinction between the aiding the enemy charges and the rest of the charges," said Greenberg. "That's something that will play out in public discourse as time goes along. But basically she was not convinced that he did this in a way that he knew he was aiding the enemy. The question underlying all this may be what exactly was the harm that occurred with what he did."

Crizotinib (Xalkori®)
Pronounced: kriz-OH-ti-nib
Classification: Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor
About Crizotinib (Xalkori®)
Crizotinib is a type of targeted therapy called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Crizotinib works by targeting and blocking receptors found on the cancer cells, which in turn blocks tumor growth. This medication acts specifically on tumors that have an abnormality in a gene called ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase). Your oncology team will test your tumor for this abnormality, which must be present in order to receive the medication.
How to Take Crizotinib
Crizotinib comes in a capsule form and is taken twice a day. The capsule should be swallowed whole (do not break, open or chew) with a glass of water, with or without food. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, up to 6 hours before the next scheduled dose. If it is less than 6 hours until the next dose, do not take the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once to make up for the one you missed.
The blood levels of this medication can be affected by certain foods and medications, so they should be avoided. These include (but are not limited to): grapefruit, grapefruit juice, ketoconazole, rifampin, phenytoin, St. John's wort, and fentanyl. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you take.
Storage and Handling
Store this medication at room temperature in the original container. If you prefer to use a pillbox, discuss this with your oncology pharmacist. Ask your oncology team where to return any unused medication for disposal. Do not flush down the toilet or throw in the trash.
Where do I get this medication?
Crizotinib is available through select specialty pharmacies. Your oncology team will work with your prescription drug plan to identify an in-network specialty pharmacy for distribution of this medication and shipment directly to your home.
Insurance Information
This medication may be covered under your prescription drug plan. Patient assistance may be available to qualifying individuals without prescription drug coverage. Co-pay assistance, which reduces the patient co-pay responsibility for eligible, commercially (non-government sponsored) insured patients, may also be available. Your care team can help you find these resources, if they are available.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of crizotinib. Talk to you doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. There are some of the most common side effects:
Visual Changes
Some patients develop visual changes, typically within the first 2 weeks of treatment. This can include seeing flashes of light, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, double vision, or seeing "floaters". Notify your healthcare provider right away if you notice any changes in your vision.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
There are several things you can do to prevent or relieve constipation. Include fiber in your diet (fruits and vegetables), drink 8-10 glasses of non-alcoholic fluids a day, and keep active. A stool softener once or twice a day may prevent constipation. If you do not have a bowel movement for 2-3 days, you should contact your healthcare team for suggestions to relieve the constipation.
Peripheral Neuropathy (Numbness or Tingling in the Hands and/or Feet)
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the medication. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the medication is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to adjust the doses of your medication.
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
- Washing hands, both yours and your visitors, is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
- Avoid large crowds and people who are sick (i.e.: those who have a cold, fever or cough or live with someone with these symptoms).
- When working in your yard, wear protective clothing including long pants and gloves.
- Do not handle pet waste.
- Keep all cuts or scratches clean.
- Shower or bath daily and perform frequent mouth care.
- Do not cut cuticles or ingrown nails. You may wear nail polish, but not fake nails.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before scheduling dental appointments or procedures.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before you, or someone you live with, has any vaccinations.
Patients can develop an inflammation of the lungs (called pneumonitis) while taking this medication. Notify your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening symptoms, including shortness of breath, trouble breathing, cough or fever.
Liver Toxicity
This medication can cause liver toxicity, which your doctor may monitor for using blood tests called liver function tests. Notify your healthcare provider if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, your urine appears dark or brown or pain in your abdomen, as these can be signs of liver toxicity.
Heart Problems
This medication can cause slow or abnormal heartbeats (bradycardia) or an abnormal heart rhythm called QT prolongation. Notify your healthcare provider right away if you feel abnormal heartbeats or if you feel dizzy or faint.
Decrease in Appetite
Nutrition is an important part of your care. Cancer treatment can affect your appetite and, in some cases, the side effects of treatment can make eating difficult. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services at your treatment center to help with food choices.
- Try to eat five or six small meals or snacks throughout the day, instead of 3 larger meals.
- If you are not eating enough, nutritional supplements may help.
- You may experience a metallic taste or find that food has no taste at all. You may dislike foods or beverages that you liked before receiving cancer treatment. These symptoms can last for several months or longer after treatment ends.
- Avoid any food that you think smells or tastes bad. If red meat is a problem, eat chicken, turkey, eggs, dairy products and fish without a strong smell. Sometimes cold food has less of an odor.
- Add extra flavor to meat or fish by marinating it in sweet juices, sweet and sour sauce or dressings. Use seasonings like basil, oregano or rosemary to add flavor. Bacon, ham and onion can add flavor to vegetables.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Crizotinib can cause swelling (edema) in the face and extremities. However, this can be a sign of other problems, so be sure to report any abnormal swelling to your healthcare team for further evaluation.
Some patients may develop a rash, scaly skin, or red itchy bumps. Use an alcohol free moisturizer on your skin and lips; avoid moisturizers with perfumes or scents. Your doctor or nurse can recommend a topical medication if itching is bothersome. If your skin does crack or bleed, be sure to keep the area clean to avoid infection. Be sure to notify your healthcare provider of any rash that develops, as this can be a reaction. They can give you more tips on caring for your skin.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment and for at least 3 months after treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.

Farmers markets are really jumping up now with all kinds of produce coming into peak production. Find one in your area or venture afield for a taste of what's available in other communities.
Birds and Blooms magazine has put together a list of do's and don'ts for shopping at farmers markets. If you haven't sample the fruits, vegetables, flowers, arts and crafts sold by your own neighbors at farmers markets, these tips might ease the way.
- DO bring your own sturdy bag. Vendors often have bags, but you'll probably buy more than you think, so a big, heavy-duty carryall is best.
- DON'T be shy. The people who sell the food are probably the same ones who grow it, so ask questions, seek advice and get to know this segment of your community.
- DO shop outside the box. Never tried kale? Pick up a fresh bunch at the market. Or get a few apples in a variety you've never had before.
- DON'T eat before you go. There's more to a farmers market than fresh veggies. Local food vendors set up shop as well. Look for bakeries or coffee shops offering sweet treats.
- DO have a little bit of a plan. The market can be overwhelming when you first arrive. Know what's in season, whether it's strawberries in summer or apples in fall.
- DON'T expect it to be a quick trip. In general, farmers markets are leisurely, and most people peruse the goods at a relaxed pace.
- DO bring cash, preferably small bills to speed up your purchases.

Photo Gallery: Rose Parade Royal Court tryouts
Video: Day two of Rose Court tryouts
PASADENA - Royal Court hopefuls put their best foot forward at the Tournament of Roses headquarters for a second day of preliminary tryouts Monday, notable this year for a return to tradition by narrowing eligibility.
Several hundred girls and young women (and a few males) were expected to try out Monday, after more than 700 braved 100-degree heat for Saturday's first look. Seven finalists, including the Rose Queen, will ultimately be selected to become ambassadors of Pasadena on Jan. 1.
Highland Park and Eagle Rock residents aren't eligible this year, however, after tournament officials ended a three-year trial to expand the eligibility area.
"Because we're a volunteer organization, we can only stretch our resources so far," said Lance Tibbet, the selection committee coordinator. "After the three-year trial, (we) discussed it, and decided we need to go back to our traditional boundaries, because of our volunteer resources."
That meant defining eligibility through the Pasadena City College district boundaries, which includes high schools and colleges in Pasadena, South Pasadena, La Ca ada Flintridge, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, San Marino, San Gabriel and Temple City.
Competitors must be enrolled full-time at an eligible school, and must be 17 to 21 years old on Jan. 1.
Franklin and Eagle Rock high school were included the past three years, but the experiment caused other area schools to inquire about Royal Court eligibility, Tibbet said. It would have put too much of a strain on a volunteer committee that already puts in a lot of time over the course of the selection process, including transportation to events.
"How do you say no to one over the other, and then you look like you're picking favorites," Tibbet said.
Reverting to tradition also means current princess Sarah Zuno is the first and only Highland Park resident to be named to the Royal Court.
"In a sense, I'm very disheartened," Zuno said Monday, while welcoming competitors at the Tournament House. "I feel like I was an ambassador for the Highland Park area."
Zuno hoped the committee would reconsider its decision at some point in the future, noting that many younger girls from Highland Park had told her they wanted to participate when they are older.
Zuno's mother, Bertha, said many Franklin students and parents felt let down when the Tournament of Roses informed the school about the change this month.
"They just cut them off, with no really good reason," Bertha Zuno said.
Tibbet acknowledged the decision was bound to disappoint people.
"That's always difficult. You want to include as many young ladies as you possibly can. Those are the tough choices that we had to make," he said.
Overall, Tibbet was happy about the process Saturday and Monday.
The finals will be Oct. 4, with a Royal Court announcement on Oct. 8.
The Rose Queen will be selected from the court on Oct. 16.

Manila (AFP) May 7, 2013
Three German tourists and their Filipino tour guide were crushed to death when one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes spewed a giant ash cloud and a hail of rocks on Tuesday, authorities said.
Twenty-seven people, including at least nine foreigners, were climbing picturesque Mount Mayon when it erupted without warning, and bad weather meant some of them would have to spend the night on its slopes, officials said.
"It rained like hell with stones," local tour operator Marti Calleja quoted an Austrian woman who was among the injured in the ordeal as saying.
"The rocks that came crashing down on them were as big as dining (table) sets," he told AFP by phone.
Calleja said five foreigners and three of his Filipino guides had begun hiking up Mayon just a few hours before the eruption, which sent a thick column of ash 500 metres (1,600 feet) into the air.
Three Germans aged in their 30s, two men and one woman, and one of the guides from his group were killed, he said.
A 22-year-old Spanish woman also sustained "life-threatening" injuries, while the Austrian woman suffered minor bruises, according to Calleja.
Regional police spokesman Superintendent Renato Bataller confirmed the four fatalities, with seven others injured, including four Thais.
Provincial governor Joey Salceda told AFP that while the volcano had calmed down, rescue helicopters were unable to land due to heavy rain and only four survivors had been taken off the mountain.
He said rescuers were forced to start climbing the mountain to reach the injured, and it was unclear when they would be brought down.
Calleja said the foreigners paid about $100 each for an overnight adventure on the 2,460-metre (8,070-foot) Mayon, which is famed for its near-perfect cone but has a long history of deadly eruptions.
A six-kilometre (3 and 3/4-mile) radius "permanent danger zone" is supposed to be enforced around the volcano. But Calleja said the local government allowed people to climb when there were no signs of an eruption.
"Between 300 and 1,000 climbers go here during the peak season from May to August," Calleja said.
Salceda confirmed the arrangement, but said tourists hiking up should still inform the authorities beforehand.
"Mayon is just like any other mountain, and mountaineers assume the same risk as anywhere. But while we allow them to go, they should notify us and seek our approval. In this case, they did not," he said.
Volcanologists described the eruption as a 73-second "steam-driven minor explosion" that was not expected to be repeated anytime soon.
Chief state seismologist Renato Solidum said people living around Mayon did not need to evacuate. He said the explosion was triggered when rainwater made contact with hot ash deposits on the crater mouth.
Residents in towns around the volcano said they were taken by surprise.
"It was so sudden that many of us panicked," Jun Marana, a 46-year-old bus driver and father of two, told AFP by telephone.
"When we stepped out we saw this huge column against the blue sky."
Mayon, about 330 kilometres (200 miles) southeast of Manila, has erupted dozens of times in recorded history.
In 1814, more than 1,200 people were killed when lava flows buried the town of Cagsawa. In December 2009 tens of thousands of villagers were displaced when Mayon spewed ash and lava.
The volcano also erupted in August 2006. There were no direct deaths caused by the explosion, but the following December a passing typhoon unleashed an avalanche of volcanic mud from its slopes that killed 1,000 people.

Women In The Kitchen: The Surprising Reality
Over the past several months, I've begun to watch competitive cooking shows obsessively. I mean, I don't really know how to turn on my own oven and have never cooked anything in my life, but watching food shows has given me a desire to learn how to cook something simple…someday in the far future. But while these competitive food shows are certainly good for cooking tips, I couldn't help but notice that women are largely underrepresented.
One of my favorite shows is Chopped, where four professional chefs are given a very short amount of time to make a dish composed of three or four random ingredients. There is usually only one female competitor on each episode. Every once in a while, you'll see two women, but it's unusual. There …

Austin, RiverDogs beat Hudson again
Yankees prospect homers twice as Cotham outduels All-Star
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 12, 2012 6:52 PM ET
Hudson was roughed up in his second rehab start for Class A Rome, allowing five runs over four innings and was again outpitched by 24-year-old Caleb Cotham as Charleston beat the host Braves, 9-3.
"I feel pretty good where I'm at, I'm just glad I'm not in A ball anymore," Hudson told the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Thursday. "I'd probably never get back to the big leagues."
Charleston cleanup hitter Tyler Austin hit a pair of home runs, Dante Bichette Jr. added three hits and Mason Williams singled twice and plated a run in support of Cotham, who allowed two runs on six hits over five innings for his first win of the year.
"Honestly, it's an unbelievable experience," Austin, a Conyers, Ga., native said of facing Hudson. "I know it's not the best circumstance for him, but I've grown up watching the Braves and grown up following him, so it's awesome to come out here and face him. I went my whole life watching him, so it's a lot of fun."
Hudson, who began the season on the disabled list following back surgery, is scheduled to make at least a few more rehab starts, most likely with Triple-A Gwinnett. He's aiming for a late April or early May return to Atlanta.
Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez, pitching coach Roger McDowell and longtime Braves manager Bobby Cox, now a team advisor, all attended Thursday's rehab start.
"His sinker was working," Gonzalez told the Journal Constitution.
Hudson's line looked a little worse for wear -- many of his hits were of the seeing-eye variety, one run-scoring hit was a questionable fair ball down the line in right field and on another, Hudson avoided getting into a tag play at the plate to avoid further injury.
"For the most part I feel pretty good where I'm at physically, just got to make some better pitches," Hudson told the paper. "Obviously that's going to come as I have more time on the mound and more bullpen [sessions], working on that kind of stuff on the side."
Hudson said his back felt good and he's happy with his overall progress. He stayed late at the ballpark to sign autographs for Rome fans as well.
"Obviously the results from these couple starts down here don't look [good]," Hudson told the paper. "But I think once the bell rings and I feel like I'm ready to go, it'll be good."
Bichette, the Yankees' top pick in last year's Draft, went 3-for-4 and now has four hits this season off of Hudson -- he singled twice against the National League All-Star on April 7, when Hudson gave up two runs on four hits over three innings in his first Minor League start.
Austin hit an RBI triple to deep center off Hudson in that game and was thrown out at the plate on the play.
"Oh yeah, that was an unbelievable experience," Austin said of the triple. "I don't know what to say, it was awesome."
Neither of Austin's longballs came against Hudson on Thursday, though -- he connected in the seventh off Navery Moore and again in the ninth against Wilson Rivera, his first two homers of the season.
"Got a good pitch, put a good swing on it, felt pretty good all night," Austin said. "I didn't have much to show for it the first three at-bats, but I put something together in those last two. I had a good night."
Bichette, the son of longtime Major Leaguer Dante Bichette, finished 3-for-4 with a double, two runs, an RBI and a walk to boost his average on the season to .345.
"He's honestly one of the best players I've ever played with," Austin said. "Great guy on the field and off the field, not one negative thing I can say about him."
Charleston's lineup features a bevy of the Yankees' top prospects: Williams (No. 4), Cito Culver (9), Bichette (8), Austin (15), Ben Gamel (18) and Angelo Gumbs (17) are a tough 1-6 for pitchers, Hudson included.
"We can go all the way, our lineup has so much talent," Austin said. "Our whole team is nothing but talent. We play together good, we all bond well, we play as a team, and I feel like at every level we go to, we can go all the way."
Austin said the key to hitting Hudson was to keep the same approach.
"It's just we're steady with out approach, not doing too much, doing the same thing as if it was anyone else on the mound," he said. "It worked out well for us."
And as for playing in two Hudson rehabs, Austin said he and the RiverDogs soaked it all in.
"You don't get to be a part of that much," he said. "It was an great experience with the fans out there, just a great atmosphere all around tonight."

GeneralAssembly/6C: Statement by Legal Advisor Ambassador Ney on Identification of customary international law
"Madam Chairwoman/Mr Chairman,
We welcome and support the first report of Special Rapporteur Sir Michael Wood on the topic now renamed "Identification of customary international law".
Germany fully supports the well-balanced approach of the report. We welcome the Special Rapporteur's proposition to focus on the elaboration of conclusions, with accompanying commentaries, on the identification of rules of customary international law. We share the view that in spite of the changed title, the work of the Commission should nevertheless include an examination of the requirements for the formation of rules of customary international law, as well as the material evidence of such rules.
We furthermore support the Special Rapporteur's preference that jus cogens be excluded from the identification of customary international law. Jus cogens is too large a subject to be covered in all its aspects sufficiently within that topic.
We are looking forward to the discussion of the two basic elements of customary international law, State practice and opinio juris, and the relationship between them envisaged in the second report. These two elements and their relationship are crucial for producing the desired final outcome of the project, which should above all offer assistance to those practitioners in law, in particular judges and lawyers, who may not be well versed in public international law.
Madam Chairwoman/Mr Chairman,
Germany will follow this project closely. We are ready to support the work of the ILC by providing information on relevant German practice relating to customary international law and we would like to encourage other States and international organizations to do likewise.
Thank you."

Baccio Bandinelli
Early Design for the Tomb of Pope Clement VII
Baccio Bandinelli
Italian, 1493-1560
Early Design for the Tomb of Pope Clement VII, ca. 1534-1536
Pen and ink
Image: 35.4 x 21.4 cm (13 15/16 x 8 3/8 inches)
Museum Works of Art Fund 51.507
This Italian pen-and-ink drawing, one of many in the Museum's collection, was sculptor Baccio Bandinelli's initial design for the tomb of Pope Clement VII (reigned 1523—1534). At the bottom of the composition, the Pope slumbers in eternal rest while his soul, represented as a nude youth within an almond shape, rises above him. The Pope attains salvation through the intercession of the Virgin and Christ, who hover above surrounded by God, the Holy Ghost, and six apostles. Bandinelli's intricately interwoven hatch marks emphasize how the design will occupy space in sculptural form. The artist actualized the tomb between 1536 and 1542 at the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, where he replaced his rendering of the innocent human soul with a triumphal-arch motif.

University archaeologist Dr. Al Goodyear, Topper dig site featured in American Archaeology
University of South Carolina archaeologist Dr. Albert Goodyear and his research on Clovis and pre-Clovis Paleo-Indian culture at the Topper dig site in Allendale are featured in the winter issue of American Archaeology, one of the premiere popular publications for archaeology in the United States.
The magazine article is the latest in a string of accolades for Goodyear. His research was featured in the August/September issue of Science Illustrated and was the subject of "Finding Clovis," a South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV) documentary that included interviews with Dennis Stanford from the Smithsonian Institute and geophysicist Dr. Allen West.
In late 2009, Goodyear and the Topper site will be the subject of an hour-long documentary in the new PBS' series, "Time Team America." The series features British producer Graham Dixon and is based largely on Dixon's successful British "Time Team" series. The PBS crew, which comprised archaeologists, scientists and 20 production members, conducted research and filmed at Topper last June.
Goodyear is best known for his excavations at the famed Topper site, located along the Savannah River on the property of the Clariant Co. in Allendale County. He has been conducting research there since 1998, unearthing myriad tools from the Clovis people as well as micro-lithic tools from a pre-Clovis people who lived in South Carolina before the last ice age, some 50,000 plus years ago.
His findings continue to capture international media attention and put the archaeology field in flux, opening scientific minds to the possibility of even earlier pre-Clovis occupation of the Americas. Goodyear's Topper dig is open to public participation; excavation is done each May and early June.
