                <div>- The NSTAR2017 will be hosted at the University of
                  South Carolina. USC is located in the center of
                  Columbia next to the State House. Columbia is known
                  for its southern hospitality and family friendlyness
                  and has lots of things to do and explore. <a

                    target="_blank">http://www.sc.edu/visit/index.<wbr>php</a> </div>
                <div>- The center of the total solar eclipse on August
                  the 21st passes directly through Columbia. Roof-top
                  viewing will be part of the program. It is famously
                  hot and typically sunny during that time of the day
                  and year, but we can only promise that you won't see
                  the sun for two and a half minutes. <a
                    moz-do-not-send="true"

                    target="_blank">http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/<wbr>SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/<wbr>SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html</a></div>
                <div>- 130 hotel rooms have been blocked early enough to
                  ensure standard rates, but due to the "Solar Eclipse"
                  and "Move in Week" prices are expected to go up
                  significantly. The rooms will be available for booking
                  when registration opens. </div>
