The Narrative: There was certainly an expectation created by the pitching match up set for Thursday night's Game Four of the NLCS. Probable starters Kyle Lohse and Randy Wolf wouldn't ordinarily discourage a whole lot of gamblers from taking the over, and with the way that starting pitchers have been performing in the NLCS it's even more understandable. However, the story of Milwaukee's 4-2 victory, tying up the NLCS with the Cardinals at two games a piece was the pitching performance of Brewers left hander Randy Wolf.
After giving up solo home runs in the second and third inning, Wolf went into shutdown mode, delivering seven innings, giving up only six hits and a single walk, while striking out six. Jerry Hairston Jr.'s heroics (yes, you read that right) in the top of the fourth brought the Brewers back, first with a line drive double that scored Prince Fielder, and then on a brilliant slide into home off of a Yuniesky Betancourt single (yes, you read that right as well) that avoided the tag and scored the tying run.
Ryan Braun continued his incredible postseason with an RBI single in the fifth and Rickie Weeks scored an insurance run in the sixth when Ryan Theriot couldn't make a clean play on a George Kottaras ground ball. As expected, the eighth and ninth innings were handled by Francisco Rodriguez and John Axford masterfully, and the Brewers had no cause for concern. Game Five goes tonight in St. Louis, with a rematch of the Game One starters, Zack Greinke and Jaime Garcia.
Anatomy Of Excellent Umpiring
I mentioned in the recap that the tying run was scored on a wonderful diving slide by Jerry Hairston Jr. However, some credit is due to home plate umpire Mike Everitt.
We're always quick to criticize umpire's for a lack of consistent strike zone, and while Everitt did an alright job of calling balls and strikes last night (the dashed lines are what umpires typically call):
However, his movement and active pursuit of a good angle to call the game tying run is worthy of a ton of praise.
I think my favourite part of the play is how ready Hairston is to argue the call in the split second before Everitt even makes it.
The Most Important Play Of The Game
The play that you see above increased the Brewers probability of winning the game by 13 %.
The Biggest Disappointment Of The Game
With one out and a base runner on third in the sixth inning, Randy Wolf struck out Ryan Theriot on four pitches. Strangely enough, no one even thought about walking him to face the pitcher. Most likely because he was playing second base and not shortstop. It decreased the Cardinals chances of winning by more than 8%.
The Shamsky Award
Named after Art Shamsky, who single handedly increased the Cincinnati Reds' chances of winning by 150.3% in a losing effort during a game in 1966, The Shamsky Award is given to the player on the losing team who contributes the most to them winning.
Matt Holliday went two for four, including this home run that barely made it over the fence in right field:
His at bats contributed 17.4% WPA to the Cardinals in what was ultimately a losing effort.
The Statistics You Won't Believe
Prior to Randy Wolf on Thursday night, Zack Greinke was the only pitcher to last six innings in the NLCS.
Ryan Braun has 17 hits in the playoffs. The record for most hits in a single postseason is 25, by Darin Erstad in 2002 and Marquis Grissom in 1995.
The Aggravating Thing That The Managers Yuniesky Betancourt Did
The Most Disturbing Thing To Happen Outside Of The Ballpark
Stray Observations Of The Game
Tony Clutch is not above leaning into a pitch if it means a free base.
Randy Wolf isn't the most enthusiastic of beast mode gesture givers.
When the Brewers scored the tying run in the fourth inning, a lot of credit is due to the home plate umpire who actively put himself in the best position to see the play at the plate. He then made a great call.
After Ryan Theriot dove and turned a hard hit grounder off the bat of Prince Fielder into an inning ending double play in the top of the fifth, Fielder playfully acknowledged him. There's just soooo much animosity between these two teams.
Nyjer Morgan is the best tobacco chewer in the big leagues. Hands down. I love watching him take a lead off of first base, crouched, with a big wad of tobacco in his mouth. It hearkens back to what my imagination supposes baseball used to be like. If only he didn't try to ruin the game so much.
I had absolutely no idea that the K-Rod trade would be as important of a deal for the Brewers as it's ended up.

So you got this accepted! Great news, wish you good sales.
Thank you so much!
Why such an old version of Bootstrap?
We used the HTML version of this template made by Shegy on August 2012. The creation of this template for WordPress started a few months ago and had to do a lot of improvements to get it approved! In the future we will think about some updates. Thanks for your notice!
Nice shot! GLWS
Thank you!
There template shows the signs of success, good luck for sales.
I hope so!! Thank you!
Do you provide the xml file so we can end up with the exact site as displayed with your demo site?
Yes, the xml is added in the package!
Does the backend of the template allow you to change colours of text etc.?
The template uses the Google Fonts plugin. There you can choose any font you want for any tags and also have the option to add a custom CSS code. So in that CSS code you can enter the color you need! Thanks for your question!
Hi there,
Can I remove the Gallery and put the Blog in it's place so it's on the same page?
Under About Us, can it just be one (1) section or does it have to be split out between "starlight" and "our approach"? Is that customizable?
If it's just one (1) person on the team, does the pic, name and bio text shift to the middle of the section?
Are there options to change the text on the "See On-Line" buttons? Maybe change it to "Buy Now"?
I assume I can alter all those black backgrounds, correct?
What you can do from admin now: Change "See on-line" button text to whatever you want, change the backgrounds. The rest of the changes can be made only through a customization on the code. If you have more questions or need help, just use the contact form on my profile. Thanks!
I tried buying this 3 times and it failed every time. Any ideas?
Please contact the Envato support for any purchase issue. Thanks!
Hi! Happy customer here. Love your theme, its been fun to work with. I'm trying to add a favicon to my site (ghcllc.us) and just noticed you've removed the Theme Editor from the Admin menu. Can you tell me where I'd need to drop my favicon <link href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> code in? I accessed the header.php file with FTP but noticed the header for this site is rather short? > > ? 'nav', 'menu_id' => '', 'container' => false, 'theme_location' => 'header_menu_item' )); ?>
It's the header.php file inside the theme folder. You have all the meta tags there on the first lines. If you can't find them, just send me a message using the contact form on my profile. Thank you!
Fantastic. Thank you – cheers on a great theme!
Enjoy it!
I really liked the template, but I have a problem. The fonts do not support the accents we have in Brazil. How do I fix?
Please use the Google Fonts plugin and use a font which is supporting your characters. In case you still have problems, just send me a message using the contact form on my profile. Thank you!
I have another problem, you have some e-mail support?
Please just use the contact form on my profile.
Hi! Are the sections (Services, About, etc) of this theme in one page flexible enough to create my own?
Can I create more than there is?
If you edit some files, you can add more sections than you see, but you must know a little coding.
Is your theme translation-ready?
No, it will be available in a future update! Thanks for your question.
Hello! Great theme. However, upon installation of Starlight … I'm getting an error when I load the page in my browser.
Google blocks the page and reads:
"Content from dpmk26.ru, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page … "
Are you aware of any items utilized in the code that references "dpmk26.ru"? Again this never happened until after I installed your theme.
Please help!!
Hello, we are not using any files outside the zip files you got. Also, there is no outside links in the template (just the google map api link) so i think you got a malware or virus in your computer. Try a scan, or try to use another computer when you install the files. Also, call your hosting company, it may be an issue on multiple servers. Thanks!
Few issues I need to point out:
Issue 1 The new sliders what I created and upload the featured image, for the frontend image will come in to the actual size (1600×1600) size. Its not resizing same as like Slider 1 and 2 (what already had with the template).
Because I already created a 1600×1600 images and uploaded in to the 2 posts what template had earlier. Its coming correctly for the frontend. But new sliders images will display as large in the frontend.
Issue 2: All the Menu anchor links, once we click it, it will stop the relevant section correctly. But its cutting the main section heading 50%.
Please fix above issues and send us the updated version/files.
Please send me a message with your purchase code from ThemeForest. Thanks!
Hi BittLoader, Any feedback for this issue from your development team? I already sent an email on 18th Jan. Still no any feedback for me. Please take a look this issue soon.
Hi, if you couldnt fix these issues, PLEASE ISSUE ME A REFUND. NO POINT TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS. Because after 11 days (sent a reply and waiting), still i didnt get a reply.
Very disappointed.
You can ask Envato for a refund, but as long as the template is working on the demo and you use the documentation as it is, you should have your website working perfect. For other customization, that's a total new story!
I agreed with you regarding the refund. Actually the changes (actually Its called BUGS) what I asked, it not a new customization. Actually Its a part of the scope of the site (uploading function not working properly). That's all I asked you to fix it and send a update for the files. No need any refund if you reply to my feedback. Appreciate your help in the future to solve this.
We are not checking anytime the comments here on ThemeForest so i'm sorry if your message wasn't seen very fast. Just use the contact form on my profile and let me know again where is the problem.
Is there anway I can add a gallery of images in the gallery section vs the one image there now?
You can customize that with some little php, but directly you can't do it from the admin area.
Hi there, thank you for your great theme!
I would like to use a child theme for starlight. Is this possible and if so, what particular files are required in addition to the style.css for the graphic adaptation? By the way: PHP files and content I do not want to change. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for your message. I'm sending you by mail the instructions.
Hello, at this moment the Starlight template is not WPML ready. Thanks for your question.
Great theme! Nice support! Thank you!
Thanks, enjoy it!
Hi, is there any support for this theme ?
Best regards
The mail was sent, sorry for delay. Thanks!

The Lord (and Lady) of Winter
A look at Lords of Winter, an expansion for A Game of Thrones |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 10 June 2010 |
Hello and Welcome Back, Loyal A Game of Thrones Fans!
Lords of Winter, the deluxe expansion for House Stark, should be touching down in your friendly local game store (and at the FFG webstore) shortly. For those of you who have been chomping at the bit to unleash the direwolves, you will not have to wait too much longer to put on the Crown of Winter and take over Westeros. Without any further ado, we present our final Lords of Winter preview before the expansion's release.
We've been previewing Lords of Winter quite a bit prior to its release, but rest assured that there are still some surprises waiting in this box for you. Not that we've saved the best for our last preview, but we think you'll find these last two card spoilers to be particularly enjoyable, at least for those of you who like to play on the kinder, gentler side of House Stark.
Of course, House Stark is known for its brutal military strength as well as its merciless direct kills, but on the other side of the coin, House Stark is also a really strong defender. Out of the Core Set you have characters like Ser Rodrik Cassel and Catelyn Stark that provide excellent defense to help you hold back the hordes. Add cards like Vanguard Scouts, Ranger of Winter, and Peasant Defenders, and you've got a deck that can stand back, withstand a punishing assault, and then go for the throat.
Most Stark defenders have abilities that vary on the theme of not kneeling to defend, or having increased strength on defense. Today's cards stray from those themes a little, but still provide the kind of defensive boosts your Stark deck can really use.
To start we have the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, Eddard "Ned" Stark. This version of Ned has the usual cost, strength, and icon spread, as well as his customary Renown. Where he differs is that unlike the Deadly Core Set version, this version lowers an attacker's claim to zero while he is defending. If you're on the opposite side of the board of a standing Ned Stark, unless you've got something to kill or kneel him, or raise the claim of your challenge, you can pretty much write off any military or power challenges you might have been planning. Also, since Ned is still Noble-crested, a Distinct Mastery can stand him up for a challenge on his controlling player's turn, so he can attack and gain power for renown and then go on the defensive, or vice versa. Granted, this version of Ned still can't defend against intrigue challenges, but fortunately there is also his Lady wife, Catelyn Stark.
The Core Set version of Catelyn is a perennial favorite in lots of Stark decks because of her ability to cancel the strength of an attacker in intrigue or power challenges. As an opponent going into a challenge where Catelyn is on the defensive, you're going to have to commit a lot more strength to intrigue and power challenges to break through. The Lords of Winter version of Catelyn is trickier. Now she lies in wait in your hand, waiting for the unsuspecting opponent to commit to a weak or underpowered intrigue or power challenge, before jumping out and successfully defending. Catelyn can be immensely frustrating when you think you've got a challenge in the bag and suddenly there she is. What makes her even more aggravating to an attacker is that at the end of the phase, assuming she hasn't been killed or discarded through other means, she returns to the relative safety of her controller's hand.
With the release of Lords of Winter, those who oppose House Stark will have that much more to worry about in the form of Ned and Catelyn, but hopefully you'll be able to figure out something good to scoot around them. Whatever you do, we hope you enjoy Lords of Winter, including all the fun non-Stark cards that come with it, as it rolls into your local game store and into the A Game of Thrones card pool. Until next week!
Based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, playable by 2-4 players, brings the beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of the world of Westeros to life through innovative game mechanics and the highly strategic game play. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Chapter Pack expansions to the core game.
why is there no mention of the new ned!? i love the idea of canceling claim TWO: power or especially military challenges!!! the only thing that i could think of trumping this would be "burning sword"/winter combo!
Catelyn is good, but the core set one is just sick - I can't see myself replacing her, but it's always good to give her a duplicate :)
I'm a big fan of the "bounce" characters, and Catelyn is really good in this regard. In some ways, since you can her in the challenge for free, she can be superior to Core Set but not by much. I guess the deck itself would be the deciding factor of which Catelyn to use.
Catelyn looks cool, but sure is hard to justify taking Core Set Catelyn out of my deck...
Next week:
Whoooo let dogs out?!
Who?! Who? Who! Who! Who?!

Hello all!
I am a 20 year old Disney lover. I have been into Disney all my life. I live about 30 minutes from Disneyland, never been to Disney World, but really want to go. I love the movies, and I love the art form, as well as the history of Disneyland as I am studying in history at school. I love everything about the parks and the characters. (I have a pretty massive collection of the movies)
Ummm, yeah, i guess that is it, oh! My favorite disney character is Stitch. Don't know why, and I am not a huge fan of the movie anymore (saw it too many times) but I love Stitch.
Been listening to WDW Radio for a little over two years now. Used to have to wait for the bus alot or walk home from school, so I would listen to it in my Ipod. My favorite episode is episode #58 when they talk about Disneyland. It makes me interested to see Disneyland from another person's perspective. So, yeah, I think that about covers it. =)

MERRIMACK, N.H.–Increased costs offset a healthy net sales gain to reduce Brookstone's fourth-quarter net income 22 percent, to $42.8 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter, which ended on Jan. 1, increased by 11 percent in dollars and 32 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 23.2 percent. In addition, gross margin fell 265 basis points to 42.5 percent.
The sales picture for the quarter was much more rosy than the bottom line. Net sales totaled $249.4 million in the quarter, up 9.5 percent, and included a 6.7 percent increase in same-store sales. Ron Boire, Brookstone's CEO, said this marked the fifth consecutive quarter of comparable-store increases, and that the retailer is positioned "favorably" for the 2011 fiscal year.
For the fiscal year as a whole, Brookstone posted a net loss of $19.6 million, compared to a net loss of $7.8 million in the prior fiscal year. Net sales gained 8.8 percent to finish the year at $468.2 million.

IT'S OFFICIAL: I WILL BE OPENING THE SHOW at 2 PM!Also, the campus is between the main downtown strip and a residential area, so parking can be tricky.
What I'm saying is, give yourself at least a half-hour to get parked, walk to Palmer Park (or the Student Center in case of rain), and find the stage!(Also, notice that the concert is free, but food tickets cost $10 to the general public)
See you Saturday afternoon!

Using Fabtech's proven IFS technology this system features extended length steering knuckles and arched crossmembers for excellent on and offroad performance. Unique to Dodge is the lower control arm bushings mounting in the frame. Fabtech addresses this Dodge feature with a preinstalled vulcanized rubber bushing fitted into our rear crossmember for a quick installation while providing a factory like ride. System includes a 1/4 inch thick differential skid plate, impact struts, heavy duty tie rods, add a leafs, torsion bar mounts and more.
The 02-05 Dodge 1500 4WD non mega cab has been engineered by Dodge so the shock is the droop stop for the front suspension. This puts a tremendous amount of load on the shock and the way the shock is mounted. The problem with the design is the lower shock mount is just a bolt threaded into the lower control arm. To remedy this and strengthen the shock mount, order a fab_fts93013 Double Shear Bracket Kit. It's a great add-on to any lifted or even stock application.

I have a number of citrus growing in terracotta pots using EB Stone's "edna's best" potting soil. The combo seems to work well during the summer, but the soil seems much to wet during the winter (pots stay outside). Looking at EB Stone's website for an alternative planting medium, I discovered that they recommended using their cactus mix for citrus as well. So off to the nursery I go to buy the cactus mix...
Until the guy at the nursery practically calls me an idiot for even considering such an idea. He couldn't tell me "why" it was a bad idea. He could only tell me that they would never recommend such a thing. So, my question is: Why would the EB Stone cactus mix be such a bad medium for growing citrus? Has anyone used it? Thanks.

well, in a couple years once my citrus needs it i will be using Al's Gritty mix. i ahve no idea why he said its bad to use. the only thing i can think of is it has sand in it which over time will sink to the bottom and may cause draiage issues. i bought 2 bags a few months ago and well they ahd been used to i could not return them, but i made my own version of al's 5-1-1 mix using the cactus mix, orchid bark, perlite, and sunshine growers mix( i had all but the Orchid mix on hand) i made it 7-2-1-1. just to make sure that i had proper drainage and so far so good! the citrus i planted in this had the beginings of root rot, so i barerooted and treated the roots and planted in this mix and that was over a month ago and it it still haging in there. still has about 12 leaves and no dead branches. you can use it, but i would suggest researching al's gritty mix or the 5-1-1 mix. both are well drainging and there are peopel on here that swear by them for all types of plants/trees ! good luck and keep us in the loop! |
Thanks Spongey. Perhaps I'll try your method and blend the cactus mix with the EB potting soil. (Since, I too, already have all of the materials...) |
good luck! i would add some bark to the mix! it will increase the drainage and aeration! Eric |

Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week, they discuss the country's fascination with Wayne Gretzky, NBA Commissioner David Stern, Lance Armstrong's former doctor, and putting an end to the Manti Te'o story.
Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to Wayne Gretzky for no matter what he does or doesn't do; and more often now it's what he doesn't do. Whenever his name surfaces, and this week it was a connection with the President's job at MLSE – which I don't believe is actually going to happen – we will talk about it. It provides jobs in this industry, we all get something to talk about. The fascination with Wayne Gretzky, so long after he ended the greatest career in NHL history, never goes away; it endures. I don't think it will ever go away.
Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to NBA Commissioner David Stern. For all he does right, he also sits back and allows good franchises to be moved. He's done it five times in the last 12 years where he doesn't get involved, and now it looks as though the Sacramento Kings - a successful entity in its own city - will be allowed to move to Seattle. For some reason Stern doesn't do the Bettman thing; he doesn't fight for his cities, he doesn't fight for his owners.
Dave Naylor, TSN: My thumb is down to the former doctor of Lance Armstrong, Michael Ferrari, who came out this week and said Armstrong didn't need to use drugs; he would have won anyway. I don't like this for two reasons, one is it kind of clouds this whole issue at a time when we're starting to get some clarity on Armstrong's past and two, if he was going to tell that to somebody he should have told it to Armstrong, 15 years ago!
Dave Hodge, TSN: I would like to put an end to the Manti Te'o story by saying "enough is enough." For us and for him and his family. We've all had our fun, it was hard to resist. But enough is not enough for one Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the self-confessed perpetrator of this and apparently other such hoaxes. Te'o is a talented football player who may also be the most naïve, gullible, and – to be polite – not very smart person walking this Earth. But he's not a bad person and the other guy is. If Tuiasosopo didn't break any laws, somebody should write some new ones.

The winning companies were Sparo Labs, a medical device company founded by two engineering undergraduate students; Lipospectrum LLC, a life science company that provides R&D labs with advanced biological lipid-analysis was co-founded by an Olin Business School Executive MBA alumnus; Juristat, a software company that targets litigators and was founded by three alumni; and MMBiosensing LLC, which has invented a new method of detecting the bio-markers of heart attack and is founded by a WUSTL postdoctoral research associate and three alumni.
The companies were among 20 companies chosen from among 40 finalists, trimmed from more than 700 entrants, vying for the $50,000 grants of unrestricted funds. The grants also come with networking and mentoring opportunities and other free services including legal, accounting, marketing, cloud computing and mentoring support. Recipients also get access to St. Louis' angel investment network, the opportunity to be a part of the downtown St. Louis startup community and an opportunity for a $100,000 follow-on grant from Arch Grants.
The win is the latest in a string of awards for Sparo Labs, headed by Andrew Brimer, who graduates from the School of Engineering & Applied Science May 17 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, and Abigail Cohen, who graduates from the School of Engineering & Applied Science May 17 with a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering. In April, the team won $25,000 in the School of Engineering & Applied Science's inaugural Discovery Competition. In February, the team won $30,000 in the 2013 Olin Cup Competition sponsored by the Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. Last summer, the team won first place in two national engineering competitions, resulting in $15,000 in prizes.
Cohen and Brimer have spent nearly two years developing the product and a prototype that empowers patients to quantitatively track and proactively manage asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and other respiratory diseases via seamless integration with smartphones, tablets and computers — ultimately implementing low-cost diagnostic and monitoring spirometry worldwide. Most spirometers cost between $1,000-$2,000, making them unaffordable for hospitals and clinics in the developing world. However, the Sparo Labs device costs about $8. The low cost could allow health-care providers in developing countries to purchase the spirometers, which are specially designed for accuracy and durability despite their price.
Sparo Labs has filed for a patent and is preparing the product for clinical trials and FDA approval.
Juristat collects electronic lawsuit case data from state and federal court databases. The company uses a proprietary system to index this data into a single dynamic searchable database. Its product can provide more than 150 unique pieces of litigation intelligence, such as the probability of success on motions and appeal or metrics of an attorney's experience within a practice area or specific court. Users can then quickly search and produce predictive models allowing lawyers to design the best litigation and marketing strategies.
Juristat was co-founded by Drew Winship, a trial lawyer for the Brown & James law firm and an alumnus of Washington University School of Law; Robert Ward, a developer for Beck Automation; and Jordan Woerndle, an analyst for the Neuroinformatics Research Group at the School of Medicine and an alumnus of the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Kent Syverud, dean of Washington University School of Law, is on the advisory board for Juristat.
MMBiosensing, founded by Amos Danielli, a postdoctoral research associate in the lab of Lihong Wang, PhD, in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, has invented and patented a proprietary method of detecting the biomarkers of a heart attack with significantly higher sensitivity and greatly reduced testing time compared to competitors. The company is developing the technology into a point-of-care device that will greatly reduce emergency room wait times and costs to patients and providers, and improve patient outcomes. The company also won $50,000 in the 2013 Olin Cup competition.
The company's leadership staff – Abu Abraham, Robbie Garrison, and F. Gabriel Santa Cruz – are all graduates of the Olin Business School.
Lipospectrum, LLC co-founder and CEO Milind Sant, with a doctorate in organic chemistry and an Executive MBA from Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, is employing patented technology developed at Washington University in this bioscience company. The technology called Multi Dimensional Mass Spectrometry Shotgun Lipidomics (MDMS-SL) provides enhanced, state-of-the-art lipid analysis from biological samples of all types, including plants, animals and humans. The fields that can benefit from detailed molecular level lipid analysis are: cardiovascular, diabetes, obesity, cancer, autoimmune and neurological diseases, nutrition, agriculture and bio-fuel (algae).

Anthropology and Archaeology: A Guide to Selected Resources in the Bentley Historical Library
Historical Overview
Archaeological Records in the Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan
Richard I. Ford, Director
University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology
Major contributions to understanding the history of American archaeology - anthropological, Classical, avocational - are preserved and made accessible through the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan. These primary sources include personal correspondence and manuscripts of key participants in the early phases of all fields of American archaeology. At first glance the diversity of papers appears unrelated, but after further examination, one recognizes that they are inter-connected by historical circumstances and personal relationships. This brief introduction will explain the significance of archaeological history at the University of Michigan by relating it to manuscripts ranging from a former president of the University of Michigan to the first curators in the Museum of Anthropology, members of the Department of Anthropology, Classical archaeologists at Michigan, and amateur archaeologists who founded the Michigan Archaeological Society with support and assistance of professional archaeologists at Michigan.
Archaeological collections became part of the University Museum in the 19th century as a result of donations from Michigan citizens and the Smithsonian Institution. They were not systematic in a scientific sense until Francis W. Kelsey began his investigations in Egypt and Carl E. Guthe initiated fieldwork in the Philippines as the first anthropological archaeologist hired at Michigan. Professor Kelsey offered the first academic course in American archaeology to two undergraduate students, including Harlan I. Smith, in 1892. Another thirty years would pass before the Museum of Anthropology would exist to curate the anthropological collections, which were rapidly accumulating in the Museum of Zoology, the museum that predated the Museum of Anthropology.
The anthropological archaeology collections and all ethnographic objects were housed in the Museum of Zoology under the direction of Alexander G. Ruthven,* who in 1929 became president of the University of Michigan. As director, Ruthven had to handle an ever-increasing number of anthropological collections and requests from professionals, including Harlan I. Smith, to initiate an archaeological survey of Michigan. By 1920 Ruthven was prepared to create an anthropology division within the Museum of Zoology, pending permission from the Board of Regents. With that position approved in 1921, Ruthven began a search with the assistance of Francis Kelsey for an anthropologist. The new position was offered to Dr. Carl E. Guthe, who had recently received his Ph.D. from Harvard with archaeological training in the American Southwest and Guatemala.
Guthe's arrival in Ann Arbor was almost immediately followed by a three-year archaeological excavation project in the Philippines. Before he left, however, he established the first research unit in anthropology, the Great Lakes Division, under the direction of Dr. Wilbert B. Hinsdale, who had recently retired as director of the Homeopathic Hospital. Hinsdale had assistance in his field investigations from an enthusiastic student who would become the first Ph.D. in anthropological archaeology at Michigan, Emerson F. Greenman.
When Guthe returned, he had an administrative design for a four-field museum of anthropology with each anthropologically-trained curator controlling all four sub-disciplines for his particular geographic region. This quickly proved difficult and he soon wanted curators in each of three sub-fields of anthropology - archaeology, ethnology, and physical anthropology. After Hinsdale and himself, the next curator hired was the ethnologist Julian Steward, who left within a year and was replaced by Melvin R. Gilmore. By the time Guthe left Michigan in 1944 he established a considerable anthropological legacy at Michigan. He founded the Museum of Anthropology as an independent museum within the university. He initiated stellar research programs in archaeology and ethnobotany. He was the first chair of the Department of Anthropology while also serving as director of the Museum of Anthropology and the University Museums.
Guthe created the modern research museum of anthropology. He believed that a museum should provide identification services to professionals and some museums should be acknowledged for this nation-wide. He initiated the Ethnobotanical Laboratory with the support of the University of Michigan to provide the identification of plant remains from archaeological contexts. Gilmore's papers reveal his historic contribution to their interpretation, the application of ethnographic analogy and phytogeography for understanding plant communities in the upper Midwest. Jones developed many new methods for identifying archaeological plant remains and for conducting fieldwork to learn about how plants are processed to make artifacts. The beginnings of paleoethnobotany in the United States are found in Gilmore's and Jones's papers at the Bentley Library.
Guthe further recognized that museum archaeological collections could have a special value for understanding the past. He viewed ceramics as a seminal way to date sites and to link prehistoric cultures. To achieve this end he convinced the National Research Council to establish the Ceramic Repository of the Eastern United States at Michigan to maintain type collections to identify pottery. As this project grew he received support from Eli Lilly to fund a graduate student with a fellowship (Griffin) to dedicate his services to this repository and later to continue it when he received his Ph.D, in 1936. Griffin's photo archive and voluminous correspondence illustrate how the ceramic repository grew and how archaeologists used it for several decades to solve chronological problems. When radiocarbon dating replaced comparative studies of ceramics to date sites, Griffin initiated a dating program at Michigan with Dr. H. Richard Craine of the Department of Physics. All the correspondence related to the Michigan radiocarbon program is available for research at the Bentley Library.
Guthe's curators all trained graduate students in a museum research context and each succeeded his mentor. Greenman succeeded Hinsdale, Volney H. Jones replaced Gilmore, and James B. Griffin, who was the second Ph.D. at Michigan in anthropological archaeology, became the second director of the Museum of Anthropology in 1946. Griffin's 215 linear feet of research papers and correspondence reflect the professional development of American archaeology and the interdisciplinary basis of contemporary research.
Michigan was instrumental in the establishment of American archaeology as a profession. Guthe worked extensively with the National Research Council to advance archaeological concerns, to inventory archaeological sites, and to convene conferences that would address archaeological interests. Guthe and most of his museum curators were among the original signers of the articles of incorporation that established the Society for American Archaeology. Many details of its beginning are found in the correspondence of all these Museum of Anthropology specialists.
At Michigan, archaeology has always been a division of anthropology. The Museum of Anthropology began by curating the material collections in archaeology, ethnology, and later physical anthropology. Guthe believed that a museum should be the research venue for curators and students but an academic department should teach disciplinary theory and topical courses. Guthe worked with the deans of the Graduate School and the College of Literature, Science and the Arts to establish a Department of Anthropology* in 1929. Guthe was its first chair and he hired his successor from outside the university, Dr. Leslie A. White. White began his distinguished Michigan career with an office in the Museum of Anthropology and professional working relations with Jones and Griffin in the Museum. Although White gained professional fame for his theories and ideas about cultural evolution, his extensive field notes based upon his research in the Eastern Pueblos of New Mexico hold the most new surprises for the researcher. As the number of ethnology faculty in the Department of Anthropology increased, several had experience in archaeology as graduate students - Richard K. Beardsley and Roy A. Rappaport - or used archaeology in their personal research as Eric Wolf demonstrated in Sons of the Shaking Earth.
Throughout the 20th century the number of archaeologists and the value of archaeology to the University of Michigan increased. In addition to those in the Museum of Anthropology, archaeologists who worked in the Old World brought vitality to the humanities and interacted with archaeologists in the Museum of Anthropology. Guthe served on most university committees that fostered archaeological research abroad. Leroy Waterman was an early Bible scholar who combined ancient text translations with archaeology. Archaeological interest in the Near East received support from the university administration and the Committee for Near East Research* for field investigations by Kelsey and other Classical archaeologists and for the storage of excavated artifacts and notes from their expeditions in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology which was founded in 1929. George C. Cameron continued a regional archaeological specialization in the Department of Near Eastern Studies.* Elsewhere in the university, Walter Koelz collected anthropological materials during his biological collecting expeditions from many localities in Asia and the Arctic. The increased significance of archaeology led the university's Media Resources Center* to produce a number of visual programs based upon specialized knowledge or research conducted by University of Michigan archaeologists. Scripts and broadcast programs are also available through the Bentley.
Archaeologists in the Museum of Anthropology helped to found the Michigan Archaeological Society, which strove to professionalize the activities of avocational students of archaeology throughout Michigan. The research notes and correspondence of three of its pioneers, George R. Fox, Fred Dustin, and Amos R. Green, illustrate notable contributions to the state's prehistory by citizen-scholars. Judge Ira W. Butterfield continued their important scholarly tradition by the next generation of avocational archaeologists. The Bentley holdings are a special tribute to the collaboration between non-professional and university anthropological archaeologists.
Much remains to be researched and written about the archaeological knowledge of many sites and the research activities and development of professional archaeology in a university context. The faculty at Michigan made major contributions to these foundations of modern archaeology. The Bentley Library provides an opportunity for future investigators to explore and to understand these intellectual developments.

What do you do different if you plan on dividing the hosta? |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 Adrian,MI (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 07 at 16:49
everything... are you stealing a topic??? ... lol to divide.. dig up ... cut in half with meat clever/shovel/big knife/whatever .... use the tape to hold the leaves upright.. plant... leave until tape falls off ... if you cut too small ... you just wont have the roots to pump the water to hold up a lot of leaves ... so you will lose them.. and it will reflush smaller leaves later ... if you cut big divisions with lots of roots.. they will start pumping the water ... and recover nicely ... ken |

Ken - thank you so much - you are a wealth of information and are truly appreciated! |
Good to know Ken. Thanks for the tutorial and pictorial!! |
Thank you, Ken. Just in time! I have two large hostas to move. I never would have thought of using tape! Mary |
I moved a few large hosta last year to the outskirts of my property, along the road, following your earlier posts. I cannot tell you how many people stopped to ask me why the tape. It was so late in the Fall when I moved them, and I can't see them I left the tape on all winter. It works, of course! |
I used your tape technique a couple of years ago when I got about fifty huge hostas in trade. They would never have done so well without the tape. I really appreciate that idea because it's something I would never have thought of on my own. Thanks! |
- Posted by hostagrams 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 07 at 23:33
One of the vendors at the flea market I attend has started using tape on his hostas-for-sale. They're not big ones, but the tape makes them take up less space and would be easier to transport home. I've never bought from him, but thought the concept interesting . . . particularly because I had a monster-sized Gold Regal (from another vendor) that took up way too much space in my CRV that week! |
Just bumping this up in case anyone missed it. GREAT tutorial! Donna |

When dividing, make sure to include the bleaching step, after division - makes for good garden cleanliness, stopping transmission of a lot of undesirable problems. 10% bleach - cold water - for one hour is great. Change the water when it darkens. Bruce |
does it matter what kind of masking tape you use? |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 08 at 17:32
well .. of all the questions .... over the years.. that this post has generated.. what type of masking tape has never been asked ... lol ... and yet i have an answer .... i would normally say.. dollar store .. but i made that mistake before... couldnt unwind the stuff ... lol just plain old masking tape ... the type your dad had way back when ... no high tech stuff ..... ken |
I used this technique to move a large Big Daddy, last July, in brutal heat (What posessed me???) and it worked great. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 08 at 11:35
bumping this back up ... if you have a plant ... like jewel of the nile... with dees golden jewel .... take the time.. while its still in the ground.. to tape both plants individually ... dig up the whole thing .... drop the rootball a couple times to get the soil off .... or hose it off .... and pull the two plants apart ... then replant.. on this specific one ..... i have done it 3 times.. the dam jewel just refuses to stop producing dees ... ken |
This is a great help to those of us that are new to hosta, but have an old one that needs to be separated(paradigm reverting to green). I was afraid to do too much damage, now I know it is possible. Thank you!! |

Bruce, I'm assuming that you're soaking that whole baby in a big container--right? Ken, this is the best post ever since I am about to dig up some Gold Standards because I have too many of them. I have a friend who does the heavy work if I give him half the plant. He is going to be soooo impressed with your method. However, I looked under my GS, and instead of a nice fat clump, it is like 50 divisions spread out all over. So how would you tackle a problem like that????? Mary |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 08 at 8:46
hey mary ... you might have a multitude of individual plants .... rather than one giant ... as such .. my method might be a lot of work to try to keep together.. that which is NOT whole ... IF IT WERE ME ... i would find the outer most grouping... and try to just dig that out... loosen the soil around the exterior.. and see if i can rip it out... if it is connected by crown tissue to others further back.. revert to the method above... if not... then why go to the bother ... besides.. GS is one of the weed hosta ... grows like one.. can barely beat it back with a stick .. etc .... just do whatever you need to do.. and dont worry too much about it... still tape them though ken |
oh no! ken, say it ain't so! ... were you just being facetious about gold standard being a weed hosta? ... i started gardening five yrs. ago & the first hosta i bought was gold standard & i love, LOVE it ... i bet i just don't recognize when you are being silly ... right? ... you really meant that it's such a wonderful hosta & extremely hardy to boot ... right? RIGHT? (grin) phyl, who loves her gold standard |
- Posted by greenthumbz4mn (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 08 at 16:17
Now, now, don't you two get into an argument over my over-abundant supply of Gold Standard--the world's most proficient Hosta. (which doesn't make it a weed Ken LOL ). I have a love-hate relationship with it--it's wonderful as a filler (and rather pretty at that), but give it an inch, and it will take a mile--and then a lot more! And Ken I appriciate your advice on how to dig it up as it's going to another poor unsuspecting Hosta newbie who will love it for a while anyway. ROFL Mary |
Thanks Ken - I missed this thread, recently transplanted a large Undulata, would have used this technique. |
Thank you Ken. Although I may not need this information for a while I'm definitely putting a copy of this in my hints and tricks book for future reference. Why is it that once something is explained the fear that it generated is always lessened. I love the way everyone on this forum shares information. Thank you nd good weather gardening to all. |

bump time... i will get the pix back in the post when i have time .. ken |
Ken: My 2 cents: I've found that you have the back to move the whole plant, dirt & all, you have a lesser chance of encountering turgidity. I tried it on a Blue Angel that was quite large & I released the tape right after I planted it; none of the leaves plopped down. I've since done the exact same procedure with every transplant. Of course, this would not work if you are giving the plant away, but the soil around my house is exactly the same; I find it best not to disturb the microcosm living within the root ball (earthworms, friendly bacteria, enzymes, etc.) It seems to me that if you rinse the root ball clean, the plant has to start all over again... -Luis |

yes.. its all about the heat of the day.. the time of day ... and your physical abilities .... if you can move the whole ball .... go for it.. BUT.. THEY ARE HOSTA.. AND IT DOESNT MATTER either way and i think you meant LOSS OF TURGIDITY .... when you said: you have a lesser chance of encountering turgidity. [you know.. really.. its not even a real word.. rotflmbo ...] ken |
"turgidity" I am not sure if that is a word or not, but a brief explanation of what is meant would be nice. Then I will understand the post? Breaking your back? Turbidity? Water movement? I can understand that. (just trying to figure out want you meant) I moved this Hosta in June a couple years back (the above pic, the plant is LARGE), using clothes line to hold up the leaves, after the move I watered it well and left the clothes line up for a couple more hours before removing. I did not wash the roots (but I almost did break my back) and cant believe that I had it all done in under 1 hour. After removing the line it looked fine! (and that was a rhyme) And here is part of the Hosta on 05/30/09 (and that did the rhyme thing too!! argh!!!) Paul PS ... Ken, if someone incorrectly spelled a word, you should not be rolling!! (and I have previewed my post enough times that I probably did incorrektly spell something!) and I thought that this post would only take 5 minutes of my time!! stupid pictures!!! |
the Wik thing (wikopedia?)Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality. Fluids can contain suspended solid matter consisting of particles of many different sizes. While some suspended material will be large enough and heavy enough to settle rapidly to the bottom of the container if a liquid sample is left to stand (the settleable solids), very small particles will settle only very slowly or not at all if the sample is regularly agitated or the particles are colloidal. These small solid particles cause the liquid to appear turbid. Paul |
Turgidity results from the cell contents exerting pressure on cell walls....the plant is full of water. when plant loses turgidity it wilts. Turgid and turbid are different. Linda c |
Here is a link that might be useful: turgidity
So stop Rolling, it really is a word!! I did another Wik thing 'Turgor pressure' or turgidity is the main pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall in plant cells and bacteria cells, determined by the water content of the vacuole, resulting from osmotic pressure, i.e. the hydrostatic pressure produced by a solution in a space divided by a semipermeable membrane due to a differential in the concentration of solute. Turgid plant cells contain more water than flaccid cells and exert a greater osmotic pressure on its cell walls. Turgor is a force exerted outward on a plant cell wall by the H2O contained in the cell. This force gives the plant rigidity, and may help to keep it erect. Turgor may also result in the bursting of a cell. Wilting I will have to study this, but I am NOT to be tested on this!! And I thank omoelegba for bringing this up!! Paul Yes I am done wikopeding for the night!! now I need to change my sound card and finnish my laundry! Now that I have wasted about 1.5 hours of my time wondering why someone is rolling! LOL Google a word to find out if it exists or not. I know that I am not the smartest tool in the shed, but there are resources at my finger tips to educate myself, and then other times I do make myself look stupid. (hosta WILL grow on the driveway, with some soil on the roots) yah , im done, I also have to change to water in my aquarium! |
okay ken, now that I have read your thread for the third time, I do feel like a total, A##wipe sorry!! for some reason i took it as you said there was no such word as Turgity, oh my god kick me in the a## and I will see you guys here in about a month when i am over my total embarresment! kinda like what I said about the tool shed. Paul |

- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 4, 09 at 8:33
they did NOT mis-spell the word.. they left out the LOSS part ... paul said: I do feel like a total, A##wipe sorry!! ... APOLOGY ACCEPTED .... i ONLY take offense when it is someone who has NOTHING else to say ... i am impressed with your passion Paul ... i doubt there would be anything you could say.. in furtherance of a hosta conversation ... that could offend me ... so do NOT give it another thought... and i do believe.. westy sums it up in toto ... in summation ... digging the hosta interferes with its ability to pump water... so being 95% water .... it losses its ability to hold itself erect [thx westy, i doubt that there will be anyone who will not remember this concept .... rotflmbo] ... and the rope and the tape give it a few days/weeks to starting pumping again .... and restore the water pressure in the cells ... what this post needs .. is a picture of a divided hosta.. laying limp on the ground... where the leaves do not die.. but never stand back up ... so you have to wait for the next flush ... God.. westy.. all the double entendre .... i will be chuckling about this for the rest of the summer... maybe if you just talk dirty to it.. while you are diggin it ... it will stay turgid .... OMG have a great day folks..... ken |
Ken, thankyou!! and your response to Westy has me laughing like crazy!!! Westy That was an awsome comment! I just hope that my Hosta are not "flaccid" this summer!! Thanks, Paul sometimes I think that Hosta get the better of our brain and drive us crazy!!! PS I had never heard of that "T" word, so I learned something new! |

Hope I didn't miss the answer, but greenthumbz4mn asked if Bruce meant to soak the whole plant in a 10% bleach solution. I thought he meant soak the tools you use in the bleach solution. Which is it? I'd hate to soak the plant and then find out it was the tools I was meant to do! Jakki |
Thanks for posting this Ken, and really thanks for the good laugh re. Turgid vs Flacid. Every time I plant or move hostas, I'll be snickering... I moved three huge, and I mean huge hosta, intact this way yesterday, and they look terrific today. I highly recommend using a 2 wheeled hand cart for an assist. |

I wish I had come here before I moved my Sum & Substance. That tape suggestion would have helped. I have 4 acres and I wanted it in the back of the property in the new shade garden. I had to use a dolly to move it around to the back. I would wheel for a few minutes rest, move and rest. LOL The tape would have helped the leaves. |

>cut in half with meat clever Haha. My neighbors already think I'm insane! The tape trick is a great idea. I'll be using it if the weather ever breaks. |

Hi, I've really enjoyed this conversation as I'm contemplating moving one of my large hostas that's hidden behind 3 bigger hosta - however, I have a different question. The "bloom" stalks that sprouted a few weeks ago (we live in the NY metro area) and are now dying .... can they be cut or should they just be allowed to die and return to the soil? Forgive my naive questions - I'm not much of a gardner (which is why we love our hosta - so easy!) thanks, Dana |
Thought I'd add to Ken's pictorial. I can't take the credit for this great idea. A few years ago someone on this forum posted this idea for moving a large hosta using a saucer type sled. My grandkids sled certainly saves my back from lifting a large hosta up 3' into a cart and than out of the cart. Lifting 3 inches vs. 3 feet. Great idea huh? |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 11, 11 at 14:41
Ken, that was you that had the sled idea? I should of known, you have great ideas. hmmmmmm, what happened to the pic of my sled? Will I EVER learn how to figure computers out? |
Garbage can lids? Another great idea, Ken. Even those in no-snow areas can find them. |
No snow here, no lids either. All the towns around here have those rolling toters, with flip top lids. We've used heavy plastic sheeting in the past for moving heavy things, or a dolly. Sassy- If you moved that photo from its original position at Photobucket, the link goes away here. It WAS there, 'cause I saw it. I believe you. ;-) -Babka |

Spokesman Andrew Ciafardini said "other senior leader changes will be announced when appropriate."
Changes were apparently under way months ago. In February, chief financial officer Michael Sims left and Brian Kocher moved into that position.
Kocher said the company should see an annual savings of $4 million by moving and consolidating staff. Costs of relocating the corporate headquarters from Cincinnati to Charlotte this year were offset by incentives, he said.
The Charlotte Chamber of Commerce helped put together the incentive package to attract Chiquita. Chamber president Bob Morgan said the company's staff cuts could put the cash incentives in jeopardy.
"If the jobs do not come to Charlotte, the incentives do not get paid," Morgan said in a prepared statement. "The headquarters must remain in Charlotte for 10 years, the average salary must be more than $100,000 and the company needs to keep 90% of its jobs in the city for 10 years."
Another key component in Chiquita's restructuring is the consolidation of three salad plants in Franklin, Ill., into one plant in Streamwood, Ill. Chiquita broke ground on the new plant in June. Ciafardini said it should be operating by February 2013.
The company has been banking on packaged salads to boost its bottom line, but "quality issues" have plagued the segment, said Kocher. He did not detail the quality issues. Those issues are being addressed and unprofitable products will be dropped from the line, he said.

Government Bosses to Seize Back the Lunch Break
Back in the bad old days of Victorian England being a factory worker wasn't much fun. Not only were you expected to work long hours for little pay. You were also expected to adjust your lifestyle to meet the expectations of your boss – usually some humourless non-conformist Protestant. This could mean abstaining from alcohol, or attending Chapel every Sunday to hear about how you were going to hell.
Today's tyrants, it seems, are less concerned with what you drink than with what you eat. The guardian reports on new guidleines being drawn up to limit – in a quite extreme way – what kind of food is available to public sector workers during their lunch break. According to the Guardian, public sector workers 'face having to eat pies that are missing half the pastry' so as to reduce their fat intake, and having to specifically request salt rather than having it placed conveniently on their tables. The logic, apparently, is that public bodies – and presumbaly their employees- should 'set a good example on nutrition'.
The real issue here is not about food, or health or pastries. Its about a certain hard won right known as the lunch break. For most of the working day, the worker is expected to pursue the priorities of their employer. The lunch break represents an increasingly attenuated amount of free time, set aside in the middle of the day, in which workers are basically free to do as they please. Workers should not be expected to use their lunch break – or indeed their culinary choices – to 'set an example', or to promote the governments pet projects.
Such policies are perhaps even more pernicious than the gradual shortening of the lunch 'hour', since they attack the very idea of seperating worktime and freetime. They represent, in other words, a qualitative attack on the rights and lives of workers.
Interestingly – although perhaps not surprisingly - the journalist who wrote the Guardian article has sought the opinion of numerous foody pressure groups, but has not found time to ask any workers how they might feel about such absurd new policies.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Equit
On December 31, 2013, MEDL Mobile Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("MEDL" or the "Company") completed a sale to one (1) investor pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.275 per share ("Financing"). The net proceeds of $550,000 will be used by MEDL for general working capital purposes.
On December 31, 2013, the Company and the investor also entered into an Amendment and Consent Agreement to amend certain terms of the March 28, 2012 Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrant agreements to, among other things, obtain consent for the Financing and eliminate certain restrictions placed on the Company (the "Amendments"). In connection with the Amendment and Consent Agreement, the investor agreed to a warrant reset price of $0.30, instead of a warrant reset price of $.0275 that would have been required due to the Financing. Also in connection with the Amendment and Consent Agreement, the Company issued the investor 2,454,545 shares of the Company's common stock so that the effective price per share of common stock sold in the March 28, 2012 $1,500,000 financing is equal to $0.275 per share, rather than $0.50 per share.
The foregoing descriptions of the Financing and the Amendments do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Amendment and Consent Agreement, which are Exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
