Proposed World Heritage Serial Nomination
Submitted to the World Heritage Center UNESCO
Extract from the Official Dossier (January 2008)
Magdala (Migdal Tarichaea; Migdal Nunia; Majdal)
by Yossi Stepansky
Summary of the description of the Property and its history and development
New Testament reference
- Mary Magdalene out of whom Jesus had cast seven demons is mentioned as one of his followers who ministered him. (Luke, 8:2)
- Mary Magdalene attends the Crucifixion, the burial and the resurrection of Christ (Matt. 27:56-61 , 28:1, Mark 16:9, John 20:1, 18)
Magdala is the hometown of Mary Magdalene, one of the most revered deciples of Jesus whose legendary figure has been consecrated worldwide. Archaeological excavations at the site exposed the best-preserved 1st century C.E. Roman town-center in Eastern Galilee, which complement the descriptions in the scriptures and provide deeper understanding of the cultural context, which within Jesus was acting.
Description of Property
Archaeological site of ancient Magdala spread along the lakeshore, featuring: – 1st century C.E. remains of public and private buildings, well-paved Cardo Maximus (possibly part of the Via Maris road from the time of Jesus), harbor and shore-installations, authentic 1st century fishing boat discovered nearby (on display at The Yigael Alon Museum at nearby kibbutz Ginnosar) – Byzantine monastery remains, with mosaic floor – Remains of an 8th-9th centuries C.E. large building, probably a church Today the site is partly owned by the Franciscan Custodia of the Holy Land (archaeological site), Govt. land (including the salt-water canal and other fallow land) and private property.
History and Development
Large Jewish town since the late Hellenistic period, mentioned numerously in New Testament and Roman-period Jewish sources. 67 C.E. – harsh naval battle offshore between the zealot Jewish militia and the Roman army. Continuous presence into the medieval periods. Reidentified and surveyed in the 19th century.
- 1912, 1970: The Franciscans (Custody of the Holy Land) acquire parts of the site.
- Excavations: 1960′s – first soundings and small salvage excavations; 1971-1976: extensive Franciscan excavations revealing significant and monumental early Roman – late Roman – Byzantine remains; 1986
- Excavation of the 1st century C.E. fishing boat; 1980′s – 2005: further salvage excavations and surveys at different locations within the site; 2006-2007: renewed Franciscan excavations and preservation project
- 1990′s – 2007: Resital camping site on the southern part of the site (without permanent structures)
Detailed description of the Property and its history and development
Name and Identification
Magdala (Migdal in its original semitic form, meaning 'tower'), the home-town of Mary Magdalene of New Testament fame, has been identified since the 19th century with the site of Majdal, a ruin on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. In ancient Greek and Jewish literary sources the town was also known as Migdal Tarichaea (Tarichaea= Greek for 'salted fish'; Strabo, XVI, 2, 45) or Migdal Nunia (Nunia = Aramaic for 'Fish'), hinting at the fishing industry as being the backbone for the economy of the town. Although a specific 'tower' on the site is not mentioned in ancient sources (this toponym is quite popular in all regions of the land), it is interesting to note that a 6 m' high tower-looking structure built above the spring within the site dating to the Late Roman period has survived and is still standing today. The original 'tower' may have been a former lighthouse on the shore of the lake; recently, a suggestion was raised that this 'tower' could refer to a structure – possibly a light house – that stood in antiquity on top of a large rock, popularly referred to today as the 'Rock of Ants' (Hajar en Namla), that protrudes from the lake slightly offshore ca. 500 m' south of Magdala (map ref. 199050/247150; Galili, Dahari and Sharvit 1991: 161-162).
Description of Magdala at the present time
The ancient site of Magdala is today owned and occupied by several authorities and enterprises:
- The Franciscan Custodians of the Holy Land (since 1912, Block 15351 parcels 1, 2).
See below for a detailed archaeological description of the antiquities exposed here and to its south in the 1970′s, and references.
- Private-property fallow land (covered partly by reeds) north of the Franciscan compound, between the compound and the 'Hawaii' guest house site (the latter being mostly north of the ancient settlement's northern border). Here several limited archaeological trial trenches were dug in 1985, and filled in (Stepansky 1986). To the west of the Franciscan compound is another parcel of private land, partly cultivated; here a small salvage excavation was conducted in wake of a telephone line that was installed near the Tiberias – Migdal road (Abu 'Uqsa 2001, excavation A).
- Government-owned land leased to private enterprise south of the Franciscan compound, currently in use as an active although non-permanent camping site ('Resital' camping). In the 1970′s, before the campsite was laid out, Byzantine-monastery remains were discovered here (Corbo 1974); several additional salvage excavations that were conducted on these grounds in the 1990′s have been filled in with a protective earth-covering (one of them published – Abu 'Uqsa 2001, excavation B).
- South of the latter along the narrow Lake of Galilee shore and until the offshore 'Rock of Ants' at map ref. 199050/247150 is govt. owned land encompassing the southern fringes of the ancient settlement of Magdala. Here the flat-land between the shore-line and the Arbel mountain-slope narrows to a thin strip, and it is unclear exactly where the southern border of the ancient settlement lies.
- Stretched along the north-south length of the site, parallel and to the east of the Tiberias – Migdal modern road, is the Govt. owned National Water Company Salt Water Canal, embedded in the ground since the 1960′s. Within the canal's excavated channel, opposite the current entrance to the Resital campsite, is an exposed, unexcavated, segment of the Byzantine-monastery wall (other parts of which were excavated within and to the south of the Franciscan compound in the 1970′s). In 2005 a salvage excavation was undertaken along the canal's route on the southern fringes of Magdala, where building remains from the Hellenistic, early Roman and late Roman periods (2nd century b.C.E. – 4th century C.E.) were discovered (Avshalom-Gorni, forthcoming).
- The lower slope of the Arbel Mountain to the west of the Tiberias – Migdal modern road which seemingly covers unexcavated settlement remains in its northern part and ancient burial remains in its southern part is today mostly uncultivated, fallow land.
- the shoreline of the lake, between the high tide-level elevation of -209 m' (below sea level) and low-tide level of -212 m' which contains the ancient shore installations and harbor of Magdala, and the submerged area of the lake itself opposite the land-site of Magdala, is govt. owned property.
The Franciscan compound, surrounded by a protective wall (parcel 5) and fence (parcel 1) is today in use only as an archaeological site and is currently (2007) being excavated, although in the near future there is a plan to employ the small modern building in the compound's northeastern corner (currently being used as excavation headquarters) as monastery quarters for permanent Franciscan custodian personnel.
The impressive finds of the 1970′s excavations in the eastern part of the compound (parcel 5), including early-Roman, late-Roman and Byzantine architectural remains of private and public structures, roads, canals and installations (see below for specific details), have been recently cleaned after years of neglect and are easily identifiable today with the help of the excavation plan published in the 1970′s. While the remains have not yet undergone restoration and reconstruction (although long-term plans do include those endeavors), preservation work on those remains has recently (2006) commenced, while at the same time further soundings in this part of the compound and new, extensive and potentially rewarding excavations in the western part of the compound (parcel 1) have been inaugurated under the management of Franciscan Archaeologist Fr. Stefano De Luca. Plans for the (near?) future include opening the site to pilgrimage and to the public, similar to the current situation at Capernaum.
At present, save for some burial remains exposed on the open southern fringes of the site to the west of the Tiberias-Migdal road, only the Franciscan compound contains exposed remains of ancient Magdala, while all other salvage excavations have been filled in with a protective earth covering.
History and Development of Magdala
Outline of Archaeological Research and Development at Magdala
Surveys of the site began, like most other biblical sites, in the 19th century, while in the first half of the 20th century discussion was raised on the identification of the site pertaining to several problematic historical sources, resulting in scholarly recognition for identifying it with Migdal Nunia / Tarichaea and with the New Testament town of Magdala. In 1912 a central part of the northern area of the site (Block 15351 parcel 5), north of the small Arab village of Majdal, was purchased by the Franciscan Custodians of the Holy Land and fenced off with a stone wall still visible today; in 1970 parcel 1, adjacent to parcel 5 on its western side, was also acquired by the Custodia, and a small monastery-building was erected in the northeastern corner of the compound. Until the 1970′s only some limited archaeological soundings were undertaken outside of the Franciscan compound, including three in the early 1960′s (one uncovering several sarcophagi in the Roman-period cemetery to the south of the town, an underwater investigation of the shore area, and limited salvage investigations in wake of the construction of a salt-water waste canal), while in the years 1971-1976 extensive excavations were carried out and directed by the Franciscan archaeologist Father V. Corbo within the Franciscan compound, revealing a wide exposure of Roman-period architectural remains. In the 1980′s and 1990′s some further limited investigations and salvage excavations were carried out by the Israel Dept. of Antiquities (since 1990 – The Israel Antiquities Authority) in several spots outside the Franciscan Compound (Stepansky 1986; Abu 'Uqsa 2001). In the 1980′s the 'Hawaii' holiday village was built on the northern border of the antiquity site, seemingly outside the site's northern limits; in the late 1990′s the 'Resital' camping and shore-facilities site was laid out on the southern side of the site, south of the Franciscan compound, which led to several additional trial and salvage excavations; while in 2005 a salvage excavation was conducted adjacent to the camping site in the southern perimeter of the site along the salt water canal route. In 2006 and 2007 a new archaeological venture has been innovated within the Franciscan compound by the Franciscan Custody under the management of Fr. Stefano De Luca, which includes the cleaning, reinvestigation and preservation of the late-Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine remains exposed in the 1970′s, and new, extensive excavations in as yet unexcavated areas of the compound.
The History and Archaeology of Magdala
Excavations and surveys of the site have shown that the town was founded in the late Hellenistic period, late 2nd-early 1st centuries B.C.E. (Leibner 2006b: 238). In the New Testament the site is mentioned only as Mary's hometown, emphasizing her personality as a symbol of piety and loyalty and not the town itself. However, Magdala is frequently mentioned in other Roman period (1st – 4th centuries C.E.) historical and rabbinic sources as an important city or large town (Manns F. 1976; Liebner 2004: 227-238, 2006a:117). Most significant are the late 1st century C.E. accounts of Josephus Flavius, who portrays it as a city of 40,000 (certainly an exaggeration, 4,000 would be a more realistic figure) with a Hippodrome, and relates the significant role this Jewish settlement played during the first Jewish Revolt in the Galilee in 67 C.E.. Josephus (The Jewish War 2.21; 3.9-10) describes in great detail the harsh naval battle that took place between the zealot Jewish militia and the Roman army commanded by Titus offshore of Tarichaea, when the Sea of Galilee was colored red from the blood that was shed. Tarichaea was conquered (although not destroyed) and a total of 6,500 Jews lost their lives. Nonetheless, the town continued as a Jewish center of learning in the coming 2nd-3rd centuries, as is related in several Talmudical sources. During the Byzantine and early Islamic periods (4th-11th centuries C.E.) archaeological surveys and excavations show for a sharp decrease in the intensity of settlement (Liebner 2006a:117-118). However, the site was revered by Christians during these later periods as is witnessed by the discovery of Byzantine monastery remains and the probable remains of an 8th-9th century church (see below), and by several accounts from the 6th century and on of Christian travelers who mention a church on site. Those traditions refer to the site as to where Mary Magdalene was born and/or healed. In medieval sources, from the 12th century and on, the 'House of Mary Magdalene' and a church in demise are occasionally mentioned. However, a gap in the settlement of the town during the Ottoman period (16th – 19th centuries, save for a small squatter's settlement at the end of that period) seems to have succeeded in obscuring the exact location of that revered site. An Arab Ottoman period white-domed tomb, designated on the old maps as the tomb of Sheikh Muhammad er Razlan (the spelling of that name is from the British Mandate Survey of Palestine 1941 map) is sometimes popularly labeled 'the tomb of Mary Magdalene', but this has no authentic Christian tradition.
Soundings in past years and a recent intensive archaeological survey and historical study of the site (Liebner 2004: 150-152, 227-238, 315-318; 2006a: 117-118) have shown that the ancient site of Magdala encompassed during the Roman period (1st century B.C.E. – 3rd century C.E.) an area of ca. 100 dunams at least, stretching north-south for several hundred meters along the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, with a necropolis on the eastern slopes of the Arbel mountain on its southern and western sides. The extensive Franciscan excavations of the 1970′s have exposed parts of the town's center during those centuries, pointing to a well planned settlement with urban characteristics that flourished here, especially during the 1st century C.E.
The earliest level (1st century B.C.E. – 1st century C.E.) features a well-designed 7 X 9 m' one-room innerstepped building with a U-shaped colonnade of pillars and Doric capitals, and with water canals surrounding the inner walls on three of its sides. This building was identified by the excavator in it's first stage (1st century b.C.E. – 1st century C.E.) as a 'mini-synagogue' (Corbo 1974: 19-32; 1976: 365-371); most scholars, however, believe it to be an adorned public-fountain or 'nymphaeum' [nda a large, elaborate public fountain adorned with pagan sculptures; here at Magdala, though, no signs of idolatry were found and thus the term Nymphaeum may be misleading. We employ here the term 'Nymphaeum', found in some of the literature pertaining to the archaeology of Magdala, with the above reservation in mind] from its beginning, utilizing the waters of the nearby spring (Bruno 1977:6; Netzer 1987: ix, 165-172). Slightly west of this building, a group of late-Roman period pools were discovered adjacent to the spring, and in close proximity to a 6 m' high tower that has survived antiquity.
North of the 'nymphaeum' an 'urban villa' of the early Roman period was unearthed, with a unique mosaic floor portraying depictions of a boat, fish, bathing and anointing utensils and other objects (Corbo 1978; Raban 1988; Reich 1991); the mosaic has recently undergone preservation and is today on display in Capernaum).
South and south-east of the 'nymphaeum' a large building with 24 rooms (including an extremely wellbuilt inner system of water canals, pools and cisterns) and a large 900 m2 piazza adorned with colonnaded pillars (the 'agora' or 'town square' ?) were uncovered.
Adjacent and flanking these early-Roman grand structures to their west, the well-preserved remains of a 6 meter-wide north-south Cardo Maximus road has been exposed, paved with withered long-treaded pavement stones, on whose western side a Byzantine water aqueduct was later erected (Corbo 1976; 1978). This monumental thoroughfare may be a local urban segment of the famous Via Maris highway that continued north connecting Palestine with Syria. Although Magdala was never proclaimed a Polis, these Roman-period remains demonstrate a high-level of urban sophistication and economic prosperity.
Other main Roman-period elements in Magdala include the as-yet unexcavated remains of a large anchorage and shore-facilities complex on the shore opposite the Roman-period center of the town (Raban 1988: 322-323; Nun 1992: 34-35), and fragmentary remains of private and public buildings and stone-pavements uncovered in several salvage and trial excavations undertaken during the last 25 years to the north, west and south of the Franciscan compound (e.g. Stepansky 1986; Abu 'Uqsa 2001; Avshalom-Gorni, orthcoming). Today (2007) all remains discovered in the salvage excavations outside the Franciscan compound are covered over, while the anchorage is concealed either under high-tide water or under low-tide vegetation and silt.
The substantial 1st century C.E. remains of the town center, most of which can still be seen today, are a unique witness to an affluent Jewish community at Magdala in eastern Galilee during the time of Jesus. These include impressive private and public buildings and installations: a mosaic-paved villa, a 'nymphaeum', a colonnaded piazza, a large multi-roomed water-canalled structure, a monumental road and a well-built promenade and harbor complex whose remains are exposed in low tide. The latter's 1st century date (Raban 1988: 322) has been strengthened by similarly-dated underwater finds found in different locations on the floor bed of the lake (Fritsch and Ben-Dor 1961: 57-59) and by the discovery of a 1st century C.E. fishing boat that was embedded in the mud on the shore of the lake 1.5 k"m north-east of Magdala (Wachsmann 1990; 1995; see also below, the anchorages of the Sea of Galilee).
Moreover, the recent 2005 excavations along the route of the salt-water canal (Avshalom-Gorni, forthcoming) have proven that 1st century Magdala was in fact a large town, extending hundreds of meters from north to south along the shores of the lake.
From the Byzantine period, during which Magdala witnessed a decline in settlement intensity and even may not have been an inhabited town per say (Liebner 2004: 317-318; 2006a: 117-118), remains of a large (33 X 104 m') mosaic-paved monastery were found overlying the southern part of the Roman town, extending beyond and south of the Franciscan compound 87 where a bathhouse was also excavated in the 1990′s (Corbo 1974: 7-18; Abu 'Uqsa 2001:321).
A continuation of presence at the site was also recorded from the Early Islamic period, from which parts of an 8th-9th centuries large building, probably a church, were discovered overlying the bathhouse, while above those remains flimsy Mamluke period (13th-15th centuries) remnants were recorded (Abu 'Uqsa 2001: 321). Close to ground-level remains of a Moslem cemetery were found, of which the white-domed tomb of Sheikh Muhammad er Razlan adjacent to the modern Tiberias – Migdal road is the only still-visible remnant.

Like other builders in its class, Pursuit Boats welcomed the news when Yamaha introduced the F350 V-8 engine last year. Not only did this new power plant boost performance on existing models, it also gave the company the opportunity to build a new express boat from the keel up: the OS 375 Offshore. Launched at the Palm Beach Boat Show this past spring, it is the company's largest outboard-powered offering. A couple weeks after its debut, I had the chance to see what it would do near Pursuit's facility in Fort Pierce, Florida.
After clearing the no-wake zone in the Indian River, I took the helm and fire-walled the throttles. The bow rose as the strakes provided noticeable lift before dropping to a level running attitude. From the comfortable, bolstered helm chair I had a commanding view through the unique - and stylish - infused-fiberglass/tempered-glass windshield that comes with a freshwater washdown system and integrated wipers. Reflected surface glare was non-existent due to the console's gray gelcoat finish, and the thoughtful layout allows easy scanning of gauges and screens.
Our test craft was rigged with triple V8s, which produced a top speed of nearly 55 miles per hour. That's pretty impressive for a boat of this size and weight. Equally noteworthy was the fuel economy (38.0 gph) while making nearly 34 miles per hour at 4,000 rpm. Pursuit design engineer Eric Hess told me that performance with twin F350s was projected to be 48 miles per hour, top end, with a cruising speed of 35 miles per hour. So there's not really a huge difference between triples and twins, although when we tried to get on plane on a single engine, we couldn't quite break over.
For its size, the 375 is very nimble. It responds quickly to the slightest course correction, and steering is effortless because of the power-assisted hydraulic system. Big swells from passing trawlers proved to be a non-issue for this brawny express. The sharp entry forward transitions to 18 degrees at the transom for a nice combination of seaworthiness and stability. When I leaned over the side to simulate releasing a fish, the waterline barely budged.

MADISON, S.D. - The first day action of the Independent Volleyball Jamboree - hosted by Dakota State University - is in the book. The highlights of the day were two matches that went to five-set thriller, along with Jamestown (N.D.) coming out undefeated in two matches in the first day of the two-day event at the DSU Fieldhouse. Dakota State went 1-1.
Five Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) members - DSU, Ashford (Iowa), Jamestown, Mayville State (N.D.) and Valley City State (N.D.) - and an NCAA Division II independent school - South Dakota Mines met at the DSU Fieldhouse to play in the Independent Volleyball Jamboree.
The jamboree kicks off with the Trojans recording a five-set thriller over Ashford, a newcomer to the A.I.I. DSU recorded a 3-2 match victory by the scores of 16-25, 25-20, 12-25, 25-23 and 15-12. The Trojans outhit the Saints 51-47 in the match.

The Hardrockers recorded 56 attacks in the match, but committed 27 attack errors and 11 service errors in the loss.

Last night it's fair to say that Habs fans were furious over Dave Jackson's goal call on Victor Hedman's second of the night. Calling it a goal on the ice made it much more difficult for the war room in Toronto to make the right call, but as Kerry Fraser points out today, the call should never have been in question, it was no goal.

What are your favorite memories from attending an hockey game? The Raw Charge staff shares their stories in this week's Question of the Week.
In Garth's final season as the Islanders' goalie he and I were waiting for a faceoff in his end zone following a commercial timeout. The Islanders were a struggling team at that point and a pretty frustrated bunch of players. Snowy said to me, "You want to know a scary thought Frase? Things are going so bad for us right now that I'm the toughest guy we have on this team and I'm the bloody goalie!"Great stuff on Snow as masked combatant from Kerry Fraser's mailbag/column at TSN. h/t LHH user Uwe43.
But playing in their own building with the postseason hanging in the balance, the Canadiens played one of their worst third periods. And when the dust had settled, sportscaster Paul Graif came up with the line of the night: "Did you ever think you'd live to hear Kerry Fraser cheered and Carey Price booed." There was mild applause for the veteran referee, working his last game in Montreal. And there was a smattering of catcalls when Price was announced as the game's third star. -From Mike Boone of Habs Inside/Out. Habs fans should be more angry at Cam Ward, who had some strong saves in the dying minutes of the game to stick a dagger in Montreal's playoff hopes. They're still in the driver's seat, though things might change a little bit after tonight's action.
Poni took a bad penalty? Yes, but not like Leaf of the Day Glenn Anderson did....

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Like a garlicky hummus, this one will stick with you. Mike Leake whirled a gem of a game, tossing eight innings while striking out five, walking no one, and giving up only two runs. I feel obligated to mention (though with only a modicum of honor) Josh Willingham, who went 2-4 with a double and the game-winning home run.
Key Plays
Both Leake and his counterpart Scott Diamond were outstanding today, matching each other pitch for pitch. The Redlegs drew first blood in the 3rd inning when Devin Mesoraco doubled and scored on a Wilson Valdez opposite-field single.
The Twins tied it up in the 5th on Trevor Plouffe's solo home run.
In the 6th and 7th innings, the teams traded outs at home. Jay Bruce was the victim of a Berry Boner, as he was thrown out by damn sight trying to score from first on a Ryan Ludwick double. In the 7th, Mauer scored on a Morneau ground ball to give them a 2-1 lead. Brandon Phillips then made a terrific bare-handed grab and throw to get Josh Willingham trying to score on a Plouffe grounder up the middle.
Joey Votto got the lead back for the Reds in the 8th with a homer, his first hit of the series. People really liked it, because it seemed like the Reds would then have a better chance of winning the game.
Unfortunately, Aroldis Chapman remains adamant in his quest to prove to the world that he is, in fact, a native of this planet. He blew the save in the 9th by surrendering a double to Mauer on the 10th pitch of an MVP-caliber at-bat, and then leaving a fastball up to Josh Willingham. Hambone upper-decked it.
The Reds mounted a rally in the bottom of the 9th against former Reds closer of the future and Twins closer of the present Jared Burton. Todd Frazier led off with a walk. Dusty Baker again pinch-hit for Devin Mesoraco, just as he did yesterday. This time, he sent Willie Harris up to lay down the sac bunt. It is difficult to blame Dusty for not understanding how this actually lowers the Reds' chances of scoring a run though, as the math and science education in this country is laughably behind the curve. So I blame big government. After Harris sacked Frazier to second, Scott Rolen pinch-walked for the pitcher. Heisey flew out to RF and Valdez grounded out. Twins win, 4-3.
Source: FanGraphs
Other Notes
Chapman relieved Leake for the 9th inning even though Leake had thrown only 86 pitches. It's easy to second-guess in hind sight, but I don't think you can blame Dusty for going with Chapman. For whatever reason, Chapman could not get the job done today.
On the other side, Ron Gardenhire went to his closer for the 9th even though his starter had only thrown 82 pitches through eight. Whatever. /ptooey
Chapman has now blown two consecutive saves. His last appearance against the Indians on Tuesday ended on a home run by Asdrubal Cabrera.
The Reds now face the Brewers for three. I hope they win them.

F.i. if I need to open a contact from the call log or sms - I can't see a way to do that with Nokia OS. With UIQ3 this was very easy. In stead I will have to open the contact list and find the contact there. There are still some of us who use the device as a phone, and not an mp3-player or internet browser.

Men's Golf Stays Home For Renaissance Invitational
Xavier University of the Atlantic 10 Conference will serve as the host for the 54-hole tournament that begins with two rounds on Sunday with a shotgun start at 7:30 a.m. The Musketeers are one of four teams in the field that rank in the top 67 of latest Golfstat rankings, coming in at No. 32. Xavier is joined by Ball State (No. 37), Miami of Ohio (No. 60) and Marshall (No. 67).
The Eagles are fresh-off last weekend's second place finish in the 13-team John Dallio Memorial Tournament hosted by DePaul University in Chicago. FGCU held a six-stroke lead heading into the final round, but fell by two strokes to IUPUI despite having four players finish in the top-20.
FGCU will sport the same five-man lineup this weekend as it did in Chicago, led by senior Dan Mazziotta (Fort Myers, Fla./Cypress Lake HS) who got off to a strong start in his final campaign with the Eagles. A native of Fort Myers, Mazziotta posted his fourth career top-5 finish in Chicago, playing the 54-holes at three-over par (219) en route to finishing in a three-way tie for fourth place.
Junior Brandon Pena (Clewiston, Fla./Clewiston HS), Fort Myers product Alex Medinis (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers HS), junior Jeremy Self (Tupelo, Miss./Tupelo) and senior Gyles Robin (Jersey, England/De La Salle College) round out the experienced five-man squad.
FGCU will play alongside Marshall throughout the first day. The Thundering Herd are coming off a third place showing at the Cardinal Invitational hosted by Louisville. Marshall was led by redshirt sophomore Aaron Bogg who took home medalist honors with a three-round six-under par 210 (70-69-71).
A par 72, 7,063-yard course, The Club at Renaissance features four par 3s, 10 par 4s and four par 5s. With each side playing at par 36, the front measures 3,510 yards in length, while the back is 3,553 yards.

Selena and Sheeran—set up by Swift?!
Who knew Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran had more in common than ultra-catchy jams and
super sweet smiles? Apparently, a romance is blooming
between the two talented musicians. Even better, Taylor Swift is said to be
responsible for hooking Gomez up with Sheeran, who joined Swift for her Red
Tour this past year. You get some major bestie points for that one, Tay!
Perhaps 22-year-old Ed will help Sel forget ex Justin Bieber's childish ways.
Whatever the reason, we're psyched for these cuties—and we've got our fingers
crossed for a musical collab.
Girl Meets World meets Disney
From Hannah Montana to Shake It Up, we can't get enough of Disney Channel's rockin'
shows. And next year, it's poised to get even better! The network announced this week that it's picked up the comedy
spin-off of ABC's hit '90s Boy Meets World.
We're always up for some vintage, and the Girl Meets World
series is sure to live up to those expectations. It will include both fresh
teen faces and adult stars from the original series. A double win if you ask
Uh oh, Shailene's out of Spider-Man
News broke
this week that Shailene
Woodley was recently cut from the upcoming Spider-Man sequel, which
is set to hit theaters in 2014. Instead, she will apparently make an appearance
in the saga's third flick, due for release two years later. Even though
Shailene Woodley admitted to being "bummed," she is totally staying positive!
When asked about the disappointing dump she replied, "I am a firm believer in
everything happening for a specific reason." Stay strong, Shailene! Good thing
you've got that mega movie Divergent to
keep ya busy.the
Victoria Justice is releasing a new album
When Victorious wrapped its final
season, we didn't want to say goodbye to adorbs actress-singer Victoria Justice. Thankfully, we don't have to. The young
star just announced
her plans for her first solo album to drop later this year. And Vic seems just
as happy about this news as we are. She recently said, "I'm very excited for
everyone to hear my own sound and who I am as an artist." Trust us, V, we can't
wait to hear it either.
After a few freakouts and driving dramas from Justin
Bieber this past year, we're sadly not too surprised that he is in
trouble yet again. The 19-year-old and his pal, Lil Twist, were leaving a
comedy club in Hollywood Monday night when the incident went down.
The two hopped into the Beibs' Ferrari and sped off, allegedly hitting a
paparazzi photographer in the process. The victim's leg was badly damaged, but
thankfully, the injury isn't life-or-death. Still, why wasn't Justin more
careful? Are all these car-related crises just coincidences? Can someone get
this kid a bicycle or something safer instead?
A 16-year-old superstar is born
On Tuesday, NBC's The Voice crowned 16-year-old Danielle Bradbery as its fourth
season's winner. The Texan teen had never even performed in public before the
show's blind auditions, and she's certainly proved that a little bravery can
have a big impact. Even more exciting, Danielle is now signed with the same
record company as Taylor Swift. Woo hoo! It's always super inspiring to see a
fellow female teen shooting for the stars and working hard to make her dreams
come true.

Holiday Drive-In
9900 Page Boulevard,
1 person favorited this theater
The Holiday Drive-In opened in 1952 as a single screen ozoner, it was later twinned and then four screened. It could accomadate 1,200 cars. This was the flagship of the Mid-America Theatres as far as drive-ins were concerned. This also had the office complex that housed the offices for the Mid-America Theatres.
Most notable of the Holiday Drive-In was the huge marquee that sat at Page Boulevard with the large neon lettering spelling out Holiday. It had stars and rockets moving all over the marquee in neon. The marquee lit up Page all around the main entrancce to the drive-in. About the time that Mid-America went out of business and sold their theatres to AMC the drive-ins were on their way out and the Holiday Drive-In closed.
An office complex has been built on the site of the drive-in.

Nice looking sign.
That was the aerial view that came up when I entered the theater address. Was there another drive-in around that area in 1971?
It might be easier to click on the 2007 view on that link, as you can most likely tell from that view if the aerial shot is Page Boulevard.
Here is the 1958 aerial view. I used the cross-streets of Page Boulevard & Dielman Road in Overland.
The 1971 aerial is indeed the Holiday. I recognize the clump of buildings in the back as the Mid America Theatres offices. They were all 1 story buildings. The box office was to the left of the MA buildings. All they had was the one box office – even during the 4 screen era – and cars drove in through the left & right side. Which explains why all those cars were backed up way way way down Page on any given summer Saturday night in the late 70's – early 80's.
I need to play some more with that image to see what else I can ID.
And please don't shoot me (CHUCK!) if my memory is a bit fuzzy on the details. Keep in mind, I was between the ages of 4-11 when I spent my time in this place.
More pics of the Holiday (and a plethora of movie ads) here: St. Louis Flashback Movie & Drive-In Theatres
Thats a nice link Chris,Thanks.
Crossing my fingers in hopes that someone out there in cyberspace has pics of the Holiday in the midst of its 4 screen era!
Been a LONG LONG time since I've seen that building. :)

The anticipation of the release of this album for me was through the roof. And it never has disappointed me.
There are very few albums out there that I can listen to completely through, in their entirety, without skipping. This is one of those albums.
The first track, "The Reaping", provides a buildup to the album that gets me extremely pumped. It's like you're standing on the edge of doom and death and you're saying your last words. I'm serious, hear me out!
Then "No World for Tomorrow" kicks in and you are head-first into my favorite song of all time. The guitar riffs are really infectious and the song's pace is fast and really rockin'. This song is probably the best on the album, in my opinion at least. I find myself driving and almost pumping my fist in the air at the part "Raise your hands high!" (Alright, I admit it, I have…more than a few times.)
The next track, "The Hound of Blood and Rank" has kind of a 90's alternative rock feel. The "Come on, come on, come on" kind of sounds like that Collective Soul song, but it's still awesome in its own right.
The 4th track and I think the latest single off the album "Feathers" is something I almost can't explain. You will get this song stuck in your head and you will sing along to it even when you don't mean to. (Also totally unrelated, but you should check out the music video for it-Claudio is a huge horror movie buff and the video is great.)
The "Running Free" comes next, which is a quick paced song that once again, you're going to sing along to and do the "whoa oh oh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh" (I tried) all day long. I brought this song to one of my spinning classes and the instructor LOVES it and plays it all the time. It's just really, really catchy and fun. This was the first single for the album, and with good reason.
"Mother Superior" is the ballad on this album, and it's heavy enough to not be wimpy, yet melodic enough to make you get little goosebumps. I don't know about everyone else, but I like the way he pronounces the word "baby", it kind of sounds like "boiby" but whatever, it still sounds great.
The next song is called "Gravemakers and Gunslingers" and it just rocks. This song is heavy and fast paced. I love that he compares being in love to shooting a gun. "Pull that trigger!"
After that song, it seems to slow down a bit, there's a little instrumental segment and then there's the song "Justice in Murder", followed by "The End Complete" series. The last song of the End Complete series we hear Claudio sounding slightly more raspy than his usual upper octave voice, but still great none-the-less.
Overall, this album is filled with greats. As I was writing I found myself unable to decide which was my true favorite. If you're a fan of Coheed and Cambria, you probably already own this, and I'm hoping you'll agree that this is a great finale to the series (unless you're counting the prequel as the true finale).
If you're not a fan, but enjoy some good rock n' roll mixed in with some modern rock and I guess a little emo for lack of a better word, check them out!

Is it possible to 'download' all SMSes stored in my Nokia 8310 using the JavaPhone APIs? Most of the postings have described how SMSes can be sent and read, but I'm just looking for something to 'backup' and store my SMSes, on my PC.
In addition I would like to use some database technology so I can do searches on my 'archived' SMSes based on author, number, subj., msg content etc. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance!

Muggy Buggy Xtreme competitors looked confident and clean when they started, but the 2.3 kilometer race to the finish quickly changed that.
Throughout the timed event runners took on steep hills, waist deep mud, a bug infested swamp pit, as well as a pond that left them wet, tired, and with a rather fowl smell. But organizers say it's all about having fun while spending time with friends and family.
"People really enjoy getting down and dirty, wet and soaky, especially on a hot sunny day like this," says Muggy Buggy coordinator Tim Collins. "Going through mud is just something that's fun and natural for everybody here."
Age was of wide variety on the course and the obstacles made it difficult for even the most energetic of competitors
Seven-year-old Alton Ozarowicz from Cedar Rapids, IA thought the event was fun but he had some troubles with getting through all the mud.
"It was hard because at first I couldn't get on my knees because they started crawling," says Ozarowicz. "They told me to crawl but I couldn't because I was stuck. My shoes were stuck in it."
While most of the Muggy Buggy Xtreme participants were in it specifically for the fun experience, the top finishers can't deny that when they woke up this morning they had the intent of winning.
Women's 1st place finisher, Jennifer Chaudoir, traveled from Green Bay to test her mud run skills.
"I'm pretty competitive so this is like over 30 races this year already. I have to admit, I like winning," laughed Chaudoir.
On the men's side, 17-year-old Luke Waschbusch from Verona registered the fastest time. Waschbusch is using fun events like this to prepare for cross country season.
"I guess I kind of had the intent of trying to win but I didn't think I would actually win but it was a nice surprise that I did."
Over two hundred people took part in the day's events, proving that the Muggy Buggy is a popular way to spend part of the holiday weekend.

Police act over Christmas tree thefts (From Basingstoke Gazette)

Thefts at Sherfield-on-Loddon helped prompt police campaign
11:10am Monday 26th November 2012 in News By Adam Richards
POLICE have pledged to beef up patrols around garden centres and tree nurseries across north Hampshire in a bid to tackle thefts of Christmas trees.
Operation Tinsel has been launched today following 181 reported Christmas tree thefts in the area last year.
This included 82 trees stolen overnight on December 1, 2011 from the Sherfield-on-Loddon Garden Centre, in Wildmoor Lane. Elsewhere across the county 49 trees were stolen from a nursery in Wickham, and 50 from a compound in Fleet.
Hampshire Constabulary believes a nationwide shortage of Christmas trees this year could result in a rise in thefts.
Sergeant Ally Hibberd, said: "Due to the recent mixed climate across Europe there will be a decrease in the number of Christmas trees available for sale on the open market. The reduced supply may result in thefts of Christmas trees as offenders will see this as an opportunity to meet the seasonal demand."
Officers from Hampshire Constabulary will mark trees with a security marker, SmartWater, as well as installing other security measures to help police track down stolen trees.
Officers also say they will step up patrols around Christmas tree plantations and team up with Hampshire Trading Standards to catch out people selling Christmas trees illegally.
Sergeant Hibberd added: "Stolen trees can cost law abiding retailers hundreds of pounds and have a serious impact upon their businesses. Some trees may be forensically or security marked, making it easier for police to trace them. I would urge members of the community to ensure they are buying their trees from reputable retailers."

Fifth Disease - Cause - Symptoms - Diagnosis - Treatment - Information
Fifth disease
Fifth disease is a viral illness with mild symptoms and a blotchy rash. The rash begins on the cheeks and spreads to the arms and legs. Fifth disease is caused by human parvovirus B19. It often affects preschoolers or school-age children during the spring.

Fifth disease is an acute viral disease characterized by mild symptoms and a blotchy rash beginning on the cheeks and spreading to the extremities.
Parvovirus B19 (Fifth Disease)
An adult who is not immune can be infected with parvovirus B19 and either have no symptoms or develop the typical rash of fifth disease, joint pain or swelling, or both. Usually, joints on both sides of the body are affected. The joints most frequently affected are the hands, wrists, and knees, from CDC.
Fifth disease (Parvovirus)
Fifth disease (also known as "erythema infectiosum" and "slap cheek") is so named because in the pre-vaccination era, it was frequently the "fifth disease" that a child would develop. About 50% of adults have been infected with the virus but do not remember having it because it often does not cause symptoms, from MedicineNet.
