In 1628, Humphrey Woodberry accompanied his father, John, back to Naumkeag aboard the "Abigail." It was a momentous trip for the young man who had completed his education in England and for the Massachusetts Colony. Captain John Endicott was also aboard with a rather lengthy letter of instructions for the duties he was about to assume. The efforts of these first settlers are well recorded by history, but Humphrey Woodberry's will, written in March 1685/6, is the record of his diligence and his children:
"To my loving wife Elizabeth my dwelling house and barne orchard homestead pasture and all my land and meadow adjoining.
To son Richard Woodberry eleven acres and his mothers part after her death.
To son Thomas the lott whereon his house now standeth
To son John that same 40 acre lott which my son now dwelleth upon
To son Isaac the lott of mine which he now dwells upon
To son William other half of middle pasture on the south with the homelott whereupon said William's house standeth adjoining with my orchard, on the SE by land of John Solace one corner reaching to the land of Mr. Hale.
To son Humphrey my ten acre lot which is now let out to John Drinker
To daughter Susanna Tenny all my land at Bradford that I bought for her
To Daughter Christian, wife of John Trask my two acres of meadow near Longham adjoining eastward to the meadow that was Capt. Lawthrops
To daughter Elizabeth, wife of John Walker 10 shillings having given her portion already
To grandchildren Sarah and Eunice Walker a certain house of mine now rented by Humphrey Horrel."
His son William had married Hannah (Dodge) Haskell November 20, 1676 and it is probably safe to assume that he built his house at about this time. At his death, his probate was entered February 15, 1711 and his widow Hannah was given the "East room in the dwelling, the west chamber and one-half of the cellar with liberty of the ovens in the other room and her son in law Isaac Gray who purchased ye most of ye real estate shall pay her and provide suitable horse to ride to meeting or elsewhere. He to have ye house, barn, and one-half pasture."
On March 21, 1759, Isaac and Martha Gray of Beverly husbandman sold "for love and goodwill to my son Isaac Gray, Jr. of Beverly weaver --- my old dwelling house being the same my said son lives in together with land whereon said house standeth also free liberty to use the spring also the right to pass to and from said house to the highway."
On April 19, 1760 Isaac Gray of Beverly weaver sold to Robert Morgan and John Bond "my brothers in law the west end of the dwelling of my father next to the highway."
The day before Robert Morgan and John Bond had released to Isaac Gray "all our 2/3 right in estate of Mr. Isaac Gray except the west of the dwelling and the right of our mother Rebeckah Gray."
In 1763 John Bond and Robert Morgan sold to Thomas Symons of Beverly mariner "the west half of the dwelling of our honored father Isaac Gray."
On November 30, 1770 Thomas, Mary Symonds mariner sold to Israel Johnson of Beverly fisherman "west half of dwelling and is the half that belonged to Isaac Gray deceased which I bought of Robert Morgan and John Bond."
On February 9, 1778 Isaac, Abigail Gray of Beverly yeoman, Robert, Hannah Morgan of Spencer yeoman and Lydia Bond of Brimfield sold to William Morgan 2nd of Beverly labourer "east half of dwelling that was formerly our honored father Isaac Gray consisting of one lower room, chamber, and garret and cellar also one acre of land adjoining same.
Westerly on the highway
Southerly on the way to said Gray's house six poles leaving said way one pole wide
Northerly down to the spring about 2' westward of said spring 3 poles
Easterly toward Mr. Gray's house
Southerly Gray's land 9 poles 15 links
Northerly to Grover's land 4 poles 17 links
Northerly on said land formerly Grovers 17 poles to the highway."
In 1785 William Morgan 2nd came into possession of the rest of the house which he bought of Israel and Hannah Johnson mariner. "West half of a certain dwelling in Beverly and cellar and is the one half of the dwelling house that belonged to Thomas Simonds late of Beverly mariner."
In 1804 William and Mary Morgan 2nd yeoman sold the same to Nathan Dane Esquire though now it was an estate of thirty acres we know that it included the parcel we're concerned with for it was the same he bought for "Israel Johnson, Isaac Gray, Robert Morgan and others – all the land and buildings in my homeplace where I live."
Nathan and Polly Dane evidently immediately sold it out to Peter Hill husbandman though the deed was not recorded in 1804 but in 1806. Dane gave Hill another deed "one acre more or less and a dwelling and other buildings thereon
NW by the highway
NE Josiah Woodberry
SE and SW my own
N by a land as wall stands being the same tenement with a small variation of bounds which I gave him by deed May 1804." However even this was not recorded until 1845.
In 1845 the heirs of Peter Hill sold to Hugh Hill mariner the "remainder of estate. A certain dwelling and land adjoining:
W Essex Street 334'
S Richard Pickett 318'
E Richard Pickett 208'
N Hugh Hill 320'
In 1858 Hugh, Jane Hill yeoman of Beverly sold to Richard Pickett merchant "3 ¼ acres on Essex Street in Beverly with a dwelling house and other buildings – being the estate of Peter Hill."
Richard Pickett, wood and coal dealer, sold the same to Charles Marshall of Hamilton in 1861 but reserved the right to "the owner of the small dwellings now upon the land to occupy and improve the spot of land until Sept. 15, 1865."
In 1910 the Marshall heirs sold to Francis Marshall of Hamilton the land on "east side of Essex Street together with buildings thereon
N Essex Street 200' 12,100 sq. ft.
S Poor house farm 200'
In 1922 Francis Marshall sold the same to Charles H. Marshall with the same description.
In 1927 Charles H. and Georgia B. Marshall sold to Janet and William J. Blades "Essex Street Lot A" which was described as
"W Essex Street 84.25'
S land now or formerly Charles Marshall Lot B 65.04'
E John I. Marshall 87.73'
N John I. Marshall 54.78' " 111 Essex Street
In 1968 Janet Blades sold to Richard and Nancy Jones the same premises with the same description.
CONCLUSION By deed we can assume that the house now standing at 111 Essex Street is the same that was built by the son of Humphrey Woodberry before 1685. In later years it is interesting to note that three famous privateer Captains made it their home: Thomas Symonds, Israel Johnson, and William Morgan 2nd.

Brief Synopsis
A big-city gambler bets that he can seduce a Salvation Army girl.
Nathan Detroit, the financially strapped organizer of the oldest, established, permanent, floating crap game in New York, is trying to find a new venue, despite the scrutiny of police lieutenant Brannigan, who is determined to stop it once and for all. Nathan and his cohorts, Nicely-Nicely Johnson and Benny Southstreet, are equally determined to get the game up and running again. Because of the "heat" from Brannigan, Nathan's only option for the site is the Biltmore Garage, whose owner is demanding a $1,000 advance. Nathan, who is so broke that he cannot afford to buy an anniversary gift for Miss Adelaide, his fiancée of fourteen years, sees a way out of his predicament when he hears that Sky Masterson, a gambler noted for making large and unusual bets, is having lunch in nearby Mindy's restaurant. After Nathan fails to entice Sky to bet on whether or not Mindy's sold more cheesecake or strudel the day before, he gets an idea when Sky boasts that he could take any woman he wanted with him to Havana the next day. Seeing the Save-A-Soul Mission band march by, Nathan bets Sky $1,000 that he will not be able to take the mission's leader, Sergeant Sarah Brown. Although Sky is chagrined that he has fallen for a "sucker bet," he goes to the mission and announces to Sarah and her uncle, Arvid Abernathy, that he is a sinner who wants to reform. She is attracted to Sky, but suspicious of his motives and not impressed by his ability to quote the Bible. Learning that the mission is having trouble attracting sinners, he gives Sarah his marker to deliver twelve bona fide sinners at their midnight prayer meeting in two days if she will go to dinner with him the next night. Sarah declines, but Sky refuses to take back his marker and tells her that he will pick her up at noon--because his favorite restaurant is in Havana. She assures him that she is only interested in "upright squares" but momentarily responds when he kisses her. That night, at the Hot Box Club, Adelaide, the club's star performer, tells Nathan that she will be getting a raise next week and will finally earn enough money for them to get married. Adelaide pressures Nathan with the news that her mother thinks they have been married for years and have five children. Just then Laverne, one of the club's dancers, chastises Nathan for luring her boyfriend into his crap game. Adelaide realizes that he again has gone back on his promise to give up the game and screams at him to get out. After Nathan leaves, Adelaide, who has been suffering from a chronic cold, reads a book on psychology that describes her symptoms as psychosomatic reactions to her uncertainty about Nathan. The next day, General Cartwright, Sarah's supervisor, tells her that their organization will have to close the New York branch because it has not attracted any sinners. Just then Sky arrives at the mission and asks Cartwright to give Sarah thirty-six hours to prove that the mission is a success. With Arvid's encouragement, Sarah looks at Sky's marker, and tells Cartwight she can guarantee that at least twelve sinners will be at the midnight prayer meeting the next night. In Havana, Sarah's prim demeanor is overcome after Sky orders her several milk drinks liberally flavored with rum. At a nightclub, she and Sky talk about love and soon begin to kiss. At another club, when a Cuban woman flirts with Sky and takes him onto the dance floor, she and Sarah start a fight that turns into a huge brawl. Later, when Sarah is sober, she admits to having fun, and after he tells her about the bet, says she does not mind. They arrive back in New York just before dawn, and as they near the mission, they hear police sirens. Nicely-Nicely, who has been dozing across the street, rushes into the mission and alerts dozens of gamblers, who pour out of the mission's back room, narrowly evading Brannigan and the police. An angry Brannigan accuses Sarah of knowing about the game. Although Sarah is incorrect in assuming that Sky is involved, he refuses to deny it. The next night, Sky goes to the Hot Box and sees Nicely-Nicely, who laments that Nathan has asked him to tell Adelaide that the elopement they planned is off. Sky volunteers to tell Adelaide, who knows Nathan is not coming because of a crap game. Sky tries to be sympathetic to her but leaves when she admonishes that he will know how bad she feels when someday he falls in love with the wrong person. At the mission, Arvid tries to convince Sarah that Sky had nothing to do with the crap game, but she admits that she was more worried thinking that someday it would be Sky running from the police. Just then, Sky and Nicely-Nicely arrive at the mission and remind her of the marker. She tells Sky that they are now even and leaves, but Arvid, knowing that Sarah is in love with Sky, tells him that he must make good on the marker or everyone in town will know he is a welsher. Meanwhile, in the city sewer, the crap game has been going on for twenty-four hours. Nathan and his friends want to quit, but Big Jule, a notorious hoodlum from Detroit, intimidates them and insists on playing with his own dice until he wins back his $25,000 loss. When Nathan sees that the dice have no spots, Big Jule claims he "knows" where the spots are and wins back everything, even Nathan's commission. Now Sky arrives and, after punching Big Jule and taking his gun, promises to do one roll of the dice betting all of the money against everyone coming to the midnight prayer meeting. He wins, and the men all go toward the mission. On the way, Nathan run into Adelaide at Mindy's. He assures her he loves her, but when he says he cannot elope right now and leaves, she sneezes and sobs. At midnight, Sarah tells Cartwright that she has failed, just before a large number of "sinners" arrive with Sky. He curtly asks Sarah for his marker and leaves after asking Nathan to keep the markers from the others during the prayer meeting. As Cartwright asks for testimony about their sins, the men reluctantly talk about the crap game until Nicely-Nicely stands up and expresses true conversion. When Brannigan arrives at the mission, he tells Cartwright that there had been a crap game at the mission the night before, but Sarah lies by saying it never happened. Nathan then privately tells Sarah about the $1,000 bet with Sky. When Nathan relates that Sky paid the bet after saying that Sarah did not go to Havana, she runs after Sky. Soon Times Square is decorated for a double wedding as Adelaide marries Nathan and Sarah marries Sky.

There are few items that you will use as much with many different vehicles as a battery charger. Whether you own electric or nitro-powered vehicles, you'll find yourself needing to recharge a battery of some sort. There are a lot of different options out there when you're first choosing what charger to purchase, let alone when you first go and start using your battery charger. We've sat down to try to explain what some of the different features you might want to consider when purchasing a charger. We also take you though some of the initial setup steps you may discover when configuring your charger for the first time and provide some key definitions and terms you'll frequently run into when working with your battery charger.Peak Detection Charger—A battery charger that monitors the condition of the battery pack while charging and stops the charging process once complete.Charge Rate—The amperage output of a battery charger. 1C—A charge rating for Li-Po battery packs. 1C refers to a charge rate of 1-times the capacity of the battery. As an example, a 2000mAh Li-Po battery would be charged at 2000 milliamps, or more precisely, 2 amps. 2C—A charge rating for Li-Po battery packs. 2C refers to a charge rate of 2 times the capacity of the battery. As an example, a 2000mAh Li-Po battery would be charged at 4000 milliamps, or more precisely, 4 amps, which will reduce the time it takes to charge the battery fully when compared to a 1C charge rating. 3C—A charge rating for Li-Po battery packs. 3C refers to a charge rate of 3 times the capacity of the battery. As an example, a 2000mAh Li-Po battery would be charged at 6000 milliamps, or more precisely, 6 amps, which will reduce the time it takes to charge the battery fully when compared to a 1C or 2C charge rating. Over-Charging—Continuing to charge a battery pack when it has already come to a complete charge. This can damage your batteries and potentially cause a fire. Timer Charger—A battery charger that ends the charge cycle when a set timer runs out.Trickle Charging—A constant charge at a low amperage rate that maintains the voltage and capacity of a battery pack prior to its use. Capacity—The maximum amount of energy, rated in milliamp hours (mAh) a battery can store. The higher the capacity of a battery, generally, the longer it will last on a charge. mAh (Milliamp Hour)—A measure of a battery's capacity. The larger the number of milliamps the longer the battery cell will last.Ni-Cd / Ni-Cad—Abbreviations for Nickel Cadmium, the chemical compound used in some rechargeable batteries.Ni-MH—Abbreviations for Nickel Metal Hydride, the chemical compound used in some rechargeable batteries. Ni-MH batteries tend to have fewer issues with "memory".Li-Po—Abbreviations for Lithium Polymer. Li-Po batteries feature weight, "memory" and voltage advantages over Ni-MH and Ni-Cd battery packs. Memory—Some batteries, such as Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries, must be completely discharged before a subsequent recharging. If they are not discharged, the batteries will not recharge to their fullest potential, resulting in reduced runtime and performance.Discharger—A device that drains the energy out of a battery pack.Balance Port/Balancer—A feature or device that monitors the voltage and capacity of the individual batteries that make up a Li-Po battery pack.Cell(s)—The individual batteries that make up a battery pack.Battery Pack—A group of individual batteries wired together to increase either voltage or capacity. Series Battery—A battery pack that is configured in such a way that the voltage of the individual cells is added together to raise the overall voltage of a battery pack.Parallel Battery—A battery pack that is configured in such a way that the capacity of the overall battery pack is increased. Delta-v—Also referred to as Peak Detect or Delta Peak. Delta-v refers to the voltage drop-off that occurs in Ni-MH and Ni-Cd battery chargers once a battery pack comes to a complete charge.CC/CV—Constant Current/Constant Voltage. This is the charge process used to properly charge Li-Po batteries.Integrated Power Supply—A feature of some battery chargers that allows them to be powered by plugging it into a wall outlet. Multi-Chemistry Charger—A battery charger that can charge more than one type of battery chemistry. Li-Po Sack—A Kevlar-reinforced bag used to store Li-Po batteries while charging. In the event of a problem, the Li-Po sack can help protect the surrounding area from potential fire damage.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is the organization through which the nation's colleges and universities speak and act on athletics matters at the national level. It is a voluntary association of 1,265 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals devoted to the sound administration of intercollegiate athletics. In short, the NCAA and intercollegiate athletics are committed to the best interests, education and athletics participation of student-athletes. It is a membership-led association of college and universities with athletics programs committed to: Protecting the best interests of student-athletes. Presidents, athletics directors, senior woman administrators and faculty athletics representatives from member schools vote on legislation that protects the integrity of student-athletes, college sports and athletics participation against corrupting outside influences. Student-athletes have a voice in the governance of college sports through committees at the campus, conference and national levels. The safety of student-athletes is supported through playing rules, research and recommended sports-medicine policy. Time demands on student-athletes from their sport are limited both during the week and by the length of the season through NCAA bylaws.
NCAA Division III (D3) is where the true student-athlete studies and competes. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the main governing body of collegiate sports, dividing levels of classification into three divisions. D3 institutions are largely regarded as leading academic institutions and do not offer athletic scholarships. Still, athletics in D3 is highly competitive. There are over 136,000 athletes at over 430 D3 colleges and universities and each one is studying to earn a valuable degree in preparation for the workplace while playing the sport that he or she loves.
For D3 athletes, sports have been an integral part of their lives since youth. From elementary school through high school, sports have complemented the educational experience.
DIII Distinction
- Athletes at D3 colleges and universities receive no financial aid on the basis of athletic merit, although substantial financial aid and academic merit scholarships are available at most D3 institutions.
- D3 schools place highest priority on the overall educational experience; athletics is a complement to academics and overall residential experience.
- D3 student-athletes are well rounded and take advantage of extracurricular activities in college. At the D1 and D2 levels, athletics are a student's life and they have limited availability to college life outside of their respective sport.

The AAA's role is to be vigilant when it comes to proposed legislation that aims to limit dissemination of research, and that may disproportionately protect private over public interests. At the same time, AAA's role is to protect the sustainability of our publications program, for anthropology as a whole and for individual authors. We continue to investigate models that both support broad dissemination of knowledge and a sustainable publishing program.
To this end, the Executive Board has adopted the following motion:
Acknowledging the Association's commitment to "a publications program that disseminates the most current anthropological research, expertise, and interpretation to its members, the discipline, and the broader society," but also the need for a sustainable publication strategy, and building on the Association's support for a variety of publishing models, the AAA opposes any Congressional legislation which, if it were enacted, imposes a blanket prohibition against open access publishing policies by all federal agencies.

|Assistant Coach
|(617) 495-3434
|Previous College:
|Yale University '88
|21st Season
Bern Noack has been the assistant coach of sailing since 1997 and has coached collegiate sailing for more than 20 years. During his career, he has coached more than 60 All-Americans and five College Sailor-of-the-Year recipients.
With Noack on staff, Harvard has won national team race championships in 2002 and 2003, as well as the 2003 national coed championship and the women's national title in 2005. His teams won five straight Leonard M. Fowle Trophies for the top team performance in the six ICSA North American Championships from 2001-2005. It is the second-longest Fowle Trophy run in history, trailing only Navy's streak of seven Fowle Trophies from 1977 to 1983.
Individually, Noack has helped Harvard sailors and crew members to four national sailor-of-the-year awards, five ICSA singlehanded championships and 67 All-America honors.
Since the inception of the ICSA All-Academic Team in 2006, Harvard student-athletes have been honored 57 times with the award that recognizes those who have distinguished themselves in national and intersectional competition, while maintaining the highest levels of academic standards. Additionally, 24 members of his teams have earned Academic All-Ivy League honors.
Regionally, Harvard has also won eight New England titles since Noack began in Cambridge, including six singlehanded championships, earned three sailor-of-year honors and collected 58 accolades.
Noack was the singlehanded coach for the U.S. Sailing Elite Youth Development team and U-18 and U-23 U.S. sailing teams from 2007-09.
Prior to joining the Harvard staff, Noack worked as the sailing coach at Boston University from 1996-97. He helped the Terriers win their second Dinghy Championship and finish second in team racing. He also served as the varsity dinghy coach at the United States Coast Guard Academy from 1990-95, the Noyes Coaching Fellow at Yale University in the fall of 1989 and the U.S. Naval Academy assistant coach in the spring of 1989.
Noack's post-collegiate racing career spans more than two decades and includes three first-place finishes at the Hyannis Regatta in 1996, 1998 and 1999. He also placed in the top-five in the team racing at the U.S. Championships three times (1990-4th, 1993-3rd and 1994-5th). In 1996, he earned second-place in the North American and Atlantic Coast regattas. Noack was eighth in Standard Masters at the 2011 Laser Master Worlds.
Noack received his B.A. in physics from Yale in 1988, where he was a varsity A division skipper as a senior.

Tenant In Foreclosed Home Gets Boot, Estimates $5K In Personal Items Taken By Trash-Out Outfit Despite Scoring 11th Hour 30-Day Stay Of Eviction
In Jacksonville, Florida, First Coast News reports:
- A Jacksonville man said he was told to get out in 24 hours. He said he never saw it coming. Now, he is fighting.
Ryan Burns and a couple roommates said they have been renting a modest home on Post and Rubel streets since October 2012. "I loved having my own house," Burns said.
Until a final notice of eviction reportedly showed up on his front door June 25th. It said in part they had 24-hours to leave, which is standard under Florida law. "I was surprised," Burns said. "We had no other indication that was happening."
Burns claims he paid rent on time, but he also claims the landlord didn't tell him the home was facing foreclosure. FCN scoured court documents and found an order to stay in the home was granted, on June 26th, by a circuit court judge for 30 days.
That order was filed on the June 27th, which was the same day as the eviction. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office confirms the eviction was done June 27th.
Burns claims a company came in and removed roughly $5,000 in personal items from the home. The company claims it followed all the rules. "A wallet, containing driver's license social security card," Burns said, as he went through a list of what he said was taken. Burns' mother, Cathie, said "The social security card, that's a big deal because...I mean, you can do anything with that. that's identity theft."
Even with the judge's 30-day extension, unfortunately for Ryan, the house is sold. In the meantime, JSO is still investigating.
FCN tried several times over the past few days to reach the previous homeowner with no success. FCN will continue to try to do so.
First For You, real estate attorney, Francis Boyer, said these are your rights:
1) Renters can stay in the property until a notice to vacate runs out.
2) Property owners do not have the right to take the renter's property. It must be stored and notice given. If that is not done - consider hiring legal help.
3) The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act says in part, if your landlord is foreclosed upon, and does not inform you and you are a bona fide tenant (meaning you are not related) you have a right to 90 days notice to move.

Countdown for Ferrari in India. Montezemolo left for the Indian subcontinent this morning
Maranello, 15 September – Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo left this morning and will arrive in India in the evening, where he will attend several meetings with local partners and entrepreneurs.
For the Ferrari Chairman it will also be an occasion to examine the situation. India will soon be part of the Ferrari orbit, when – between the end of 2010 and early 2011 – the first official dealership will be opened. It still has to be decided if the dealership will be situated in Mumbai or New Delhi, even if Ferrari will very likely be present in both cities by the end of next year.

Deadlight heading to PC on October 25
Deadlight will hit Steam on October 25 with improved graphics, the full OST, and a "Nightmare" mode.
The moody horror game Deadlight is breaking free from its Xbox 360 prison and heading to PCs, just in time for Halloween. Developer Tequila Works recently announced that the game will make its way on Steam on October 25, complete with a few extras for those who held out for the PC version.
The official site (via Joystiq) announced that the PC version will get improved graphics, the full original soundtrack, and a new "Nightmare" mode. The announcement didn't give a price, but it costs $15 on Xbox Live Arcade so we'd expect the same on Steam.
The game received accolades for its stellar presentation, but fell short when it came to some enemy encounters and the melodramatic plot. Read our review for more details.
Steve Watts posted a new article, Deadlight heading to PC on October 25.
Deadlight will hit Steam on October 25 with improved graphics, the full OST, and a "Nightmare" mode.
