preservation virginia has around 23. but their acres incorporate the site of the original for, the church, the church tower, and the last government building on property. they have a lot of history condensed in that 23 acres. it is preservation virginia who are doing the archaeology that visitors will see on site today. we call our project jamestown rediscovery. we do not get federal support and we do not get state support for our work. we are highly reliant on donations, visitors coming because we get tourists at the gate. and grants, that's how we survive. it's hard in these times. this site is incredibly rich. it's just amazing. we have been walking over the material all these years. it has been under our feet. everyone was saying before was out on the river. it is astounding there is so much material. i have thought about why. for one thing, there was so much death in the early years and sickness. i think a lot of things got thrown away because they didn't belong to people anymore. possessions without a possessor. pe

it's about all you have now for virginia. no way matt johns is going to be able to get this down the field far enough for a touchdown. you just pitch it around for a while and see if you can't score. but you have to think irish fans are at home and they don't really care about this win because of the injury to malik zair. they have to go 12-0 to go to the college football playoff. >> mike: here we go with the stanford band but it's over. virginia just played its heart out today. there's no way around it. >> ed: give some credit to notre dame for hanging in there too. you lost your starting quarterback. i think fuller is pretty big time. >> mike: give credit to kizer. i mean what a performance from that young man who didn't expect to play. comes off the bench. his team is down. being upset on the road and he finds a way. >> ed: terrific experience for that young man as well. >> mike: doc, let's go to you. >> jerry: take us back to 43 seconds on the clock. you got a backup quarterback and 50 yards away. you call the time-out. w

"the origins of the civil war lay in the growing tension between two completely different types of society bound together under one government. the issue of slavery sharpened hatreds." two societies, one government, and slavery is an aggravating factor in all of this. what does that mean? i want to give you a couple of statistics as we develop th
