Lesson Plans and Activities
Where are Collections Stored?
Why Are Collections Preserved?
Archaeologists have both ethical and legal obligations to preserve all of the data they collect for the benefit of future generations. This includes not just the artifacts from an archaeology project, but also the associated information and records such as soil samples, field notes, maps, photographs, and related historical documents. Archaeologists follow strict guidelines and procedures for cleaning, labeling, cataloguing, and storing objects. Visit the Society for Historical Archaeology's "Standards and Guidelines for the Curation of Archaeological Collections" to learn about these procedures.
Back to top
Each state has a responsibility to store the millions of artifacts recovered from surface collections or excavations within its boundaries. Finding space for these collections is a major challenge. While some collections are stored in many locations around the state, other states have created a centralized archaeology storage facility, such as the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory. This laboratory houses archaeological collections from land and underwater projects, conducted by state and federal government agencies in Maryland. It also contains private collections that have been donated to the state.
Universities and museums also sponsor archaeology projects and are responsible for preservation and storage. Archaeologists working at museums or at universities that have museums may store their collections there. The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology in Philadelphia is an example of a museum with important archaeology collections, which it stores, displays, and loans to other institutions for exhibitions. These collections are also studied by scholars from all over the world. At the Smithsonian Institution's Department of Anthropology, located in the National Museum of Natural History, archaeologists store their collections at the museum on the National Mall and nearby storage facility.

Collections are preserved for both scientific research and public education. The application of new technologies and dating techniques to old collections yields valuable new information that may lead to new theories and understandings about our human past. For instance neutron activation analysis now allows one to trace the origin of the raw materials used in Maya ceramic pots, collected over a hundred years ago. In addition, both DNA analysis and atomic mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating are being applied to plant and animal for the study of origins of plant and animal domestication.
Archaeological collections are also preserved for use in museum exhibits so that the public may benefit from the archaeological research that unearthed them.

London: The former England captain is mulling over his options after ending his five-year stay with LA Galaxy but his representatives say he will not be rushed into making his next move.
Former England captain David Beckham is in no hurry to join a new club, according to his management company.
The 37-year-old ended his five-year spell with LA Galaxy by helping them to MLS Cup glory earlier this month but has no plans to hang up his boots yet.
Beckham is said to be mulling over his option as he seeks out one last challenge to end his career and has been linked with moves to teams in France, Asia and Australia.
And his management company say he is considering "a number of serious proposals" from a "host of clubs" but warned it is "early days in the process."
"David is in no hurry to make a decision, the key is making the right one as he has always done successfully in his career," the statement continued.
"David is enjoying spending quality time with his family over the holidays."

The state is in uncharted territory when it comes to high-stakes teacher evaluations.
The state is in uncharted territory when it comes to high-stakes teacher evaluations.
While students' test scores have been used for some time in determining the effectiveness of school districts and schools themselves, only recently have those test scores been tied to teacher evaluations.
The scores aren't the only criteria. Principals' feedback will also factor into teachers' evaluations. But the test scores are an important component.
Unfortunately, as the evaluation formula was drawn up by the state Education Department and approved by the Legislature, the formula was confusing to the very teachers it will most affect.
It is great to see that the department has advanced a new plan that will make the scoring system much easier for teachers to understand. It should go without saying that if teachers are better able to tell what is expected of them, they will be much better able to achieve those goals.
"What we're doing is clarifying what the system means for teachers and maximizing the feedback they can get from their principals," said state Schools Superintendent John White. "We heard many teachers tell us that they wanted to see the data themselves, so they knew exactly what was expected of them. This does that for them."
One of the biggest changes enacted by last year's education reform is the increased importance of student scores on teachers' evaluations. That is fair, but it is only fair if the teachers can reasonably be expected to understand how they are being judged.
This change should do that.
Each teacher at the beginning of the school year will receive a report showing each student's target score for the end of the year. At the end of the year, each teacher gets a report detailing each student's score and how it stacks up to what was expected.
The target numbers aren't just automatically higher than the starting points. They include adjustments for various factors that might play into the students' achievement.
No system of assessment is going to be perfect. There are bound to be weaknesses whenever the state imposes expectations and judges teachers' accomplishments.
The fact that the state is responding to some of the weaknesses in the initial system with what should be improvements is reason for teachers and taxpayers to rejoice.
The ultimate goal has to be finding the best way to assess teachers, and the state is showing it shares that goal.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

Brewers pitcher Gallardo cited for drunken driving
Submitted: 04/16/2013
- Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo has been cited for drunken driving after authorities said he drove with a blood-alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit. Milwaukee County sheriff's spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin (mik-LOK'-lin) says deputies responded about 2 a.m. Tuesday to a report of a possibly intoxicated driver. She says Gallardo was driving down a Milwaukee freeway at 40 mph in a 55-mph zone. McLaughlin quotes the arrest report as saying Gallardo had red glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelled like alcohol. The report says his blood-alcohol level was 0.22, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08. McLaughlin says Gallardo faces nearly $800 in fines. A statement from the Brewers says the team expressed its disappointment to Gallardo and he is taking responsibility for his actions.

Help with identifying low-level clouds - cumulus, cumulonimbus, stratocumulus and stratus. The bases of these clouds are usually found below 6,500 ft in the UK.
Stratus clouds
Height of base: 0 - 1,200 ft
Latin: stratus - flattened or spread out
Stratus clouds are very low-level grey layers or patches of clouds with fuzzy edges. They are the lowest clouds and sometimes appear at ground level in the form of mist or fog. Stratus clouds are a fairly uniform grey or white colour and may be accompanied by drizzle, snow or snow grains. If there are no other clouds above the layer of stratus cloud, the sun or moon may shine through.
Cumulonimbus clouds
Height of base: 1,100 - 6,500 ft
Latin: cumulus - heap; nimbus - rainy cloud
Cumulonimbus are heavy and dense low-level clouds, extending high into the sky in towers, plumes or mountain shaped peaks. Commonly known as thunderclouds, the base is often flat and very dark, and may only be a few hundred feet above the Earth's surface. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with extreme weather such as heavy torrential downpours, hail storms, lightning and tornados.
If there is thunder, lightning or hail, it's a cumulonimbus cloud rather than nimbostratus.
Cumulus clouds
Height of base: 1,200 - 6,500 ft
Latin: cumulus - heap
Cumulus clouds are detached cauliflower shaped clouds usually spotted in fair weather. If they get bigger they can sometimes produce showers. The top of these clouds are mostly brilliant white when lit by the sun, although their base is usually relatively dark.
Stratocumulus clouds
Height of base: 1,200 - 6,500 ft
Latin: stratus - flattened; cumulus - heap
Low-level clumps or patches of cloud varying in colour from bright white to dark grey. They normally have well defined bases and some parts much darker than others. They can be joined together or have gaps between them. Stratocumulus clouds can be present in all types of weather conditions, from dry settled weather to light rain and snow.
For more information on cloud spotting and pictures of different types of clouds, view our Cloud types for observers guide.

"Novell on Mar. 1 announced preliminary financial results for its 2007 fiscal year first quarter, showing net revenue of USD 230 million. The first quarter's revenue represented a decline of USD 12 million, or about 5 percent, from the prior year's first quarter revenue of USD 242 million. Despite the unexceptional overall results during the first fiscal quarter 2007, however, Novell reported USD 15 million of revenue from Linux Platform Products, up 46 percent year-over-year, and USD 91 million of invoicing, up a whopping 659 percent year-over-year.

Government ministers from over 100 countries, civil society representatives and high-profile figures from finance to environment will meet in Nairobi from 21- 24 February 2011 for the 26th UNEP Governing Council / Global Ministerial Environment Forum.
Press conferences and media events will focus on the Green Economy, the environmental impact of armed conflict and natural disasters, new research on climate change and other emerging issues.
An advanced media briefing with UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner on the key themes of the Governing Council will be held on Thursday 17 February (details below).
Media Accreditation is now open and journalists should apply online at:
Main launches and media events will include:
What: Press Conference - Launch of UNEP Yearbook and pre-Governing Council media briefing
When: Thursday 17 February, 10:30am - 11.30am
Where: Norfolk Hotel, Harry Thuku Road, Nairobi
The UNEP Year Book provides new scientific insights into emerging environmental issues and analyses recent developments in our changing environment. This year's publication focuses, among other things, on the impact of the fertilizer phosphorous on the environment. Global demand for phosphorous has been rising steadily over the last century and the fertilizer is now a key element in modern agriculture (both organic and non-organic farming). But when phosphorous leaks from fields into rivers and lakes, it triggers algal blooms, which can starve waters of oxygen, kill fish stocks, contaminate drinking water and damage tourism in coastal areas. With a fast-growing global population and more demand than ever for meat and dairy products, the world faces a crucial challenge of continuing the sustainable use of phosphorous in agriculture to ensure food security, while reducing its harmful impacts on the environment and human health. The UNEP Year Book presents several solutions to the problem, including better recycling of waste water.
The launch will also include an advanced media briefing on the key themes of the forthcoming UNEP Governing Council, including the launch of the Green Economy Report on 21 February.
What: Press conference - Launch of Kenya's transition to low-sulphur diesel
When: Friday 18 February, 11:30am - 12.45pm
Where: UN Recreation Centre and Petrol Station, UNEP headquarters, Gigiri
Exposure to air pollutants emitted by vehicles - such as sulphur oxides, soot and smoke particles - can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and an increased risk of lung cancer. In a move that is set to improve air quality and reduce vehicle emissions across East Africa, Kenya will officially launch its transition to low-sulphur diesel. Containing only 5% of the amount of sulphur present in Kenya's previous diesel supply, this cleaner, greener fuel is already available in limited stations and will soon be present in pumps across the country. The transition to low-sulphur diesel is the result of the work of the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) - based at UNEP headquarters and supported by government and industry partners. The new low-sulphur standard (the lowest in East Africa when imports began) will also benefit countries to which Kenya exports diesel, such as Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner will join Kenyan government ministers, senior foreign government representatives and fuel industry groups for the launch.
What: Press Conference - Launch of UNEP Green Economy Report
When: Monday 21 February, 1.00pm - 2.00pm
Where: Press Centre, UNEP Headquarters, Nairobi
A new blueprint for sustainable, economic growth, UNEP's ground-breaking Green Economy Report outlines the public policy choices, urgent actions and investments needed for a transition to a global 'Green Economy' - one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient and socially-inclusive.
The report challenges the myth that adopting a Green Economy approach means an inevitable trade-off between environmental sustainability and economic growth. It demonstrates, for example, that investing 2 percent of global GDP across ten key sectors will trigger a new engine of economic growth and provide a net generator of decent jobs. Greater investment in a Green Economy model is also vital for eradicating extreme poverty.
The idea of a Green Economy is no longer confined to the realms of environmental specialists and is fast becoming a key component of mainstream economic discourse. UNEP's Green Economy Report is a critical landmark in the transition to a more efficient and equitable economy that makes better use of natural resources to achieve sustainable growth.
In addition to Nairobi, Green Economy launches will be held in Bangkok, Brussels, Beijing, Mexico City, Sao Paolo and several other cities on 21 February. A live, interactive streaming of the Nairobi launch will be available online. The award ceremony for the inaugural UNEP Young Environmental Journalist Award will be held at the end of the press conference, along with the signing of a new agreement between UNEP and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
What: Side Event - 'Fast Action on Climate Change'
When: Wednesday 23 February, 1.00pm - 2.00pm
Where: Press Centre, UNEP Headquarters, Nairobi
Carbon dioxide emissions are not the only contributors to climate change. The effects of non-CO₂ gases such as black carbon (soot) and ozone on climate change and human health is of increasing interest to the scientific community. Both can be harmful air pollutants, disturbing tropical rainfall, exacerbating the melting of snow and ice in the Arctic and Himalayas and reducing crop yields. The side event will provide a preview of UNEP's Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone. The ground-breaking report - due for publication later this year - has convened over 70 authors to provide science-based analysis of emissions, concentrations and the impacts on climate change, human health and ecosystems of black carbon, ozone and methane. Full implementation of the solutions presented in the report could avoid 2.4 million premature deaths and reduce warming in the Arctic by two-thirds compared to current scenarios.
A closing Governing Council press conference will be held on Thursday 24 February at 1.00pm

If [the team's] course of action doesn't work, I don't pitch this year, and I may never pitch again. I don't really have a choice.

I signed a contract with this team ... from a medical standpoint, they're allowed to dictate how and when things are supposed to happen. ... I will have to have the surgery no matter what, that was made very clear to me. I will have to have the biceps procedure at some point in the very near future in my life if I want to live a pain-free, normal life.

I'm obviously going to fall back on the guy who's already been down this path before and who has always been right.Schilling spoke with Theo Epstein "early on when the Santana stuff came up, because I knew I was not in a good situation. I knew if we started to poke around medically that word might get out." ... There is also an update at 38 Pitches: "I will pitch again, and win, but it will be on a timetable I just don't know yet."

NEWS ITEM: Russian President Vladimir Putin, playing in an amateur hockey tournament called the "All-Russia Festival of Amateur Teams of the Night Hockey League," scored six goals and had five assists in a game in which his team prevailed, 21-4, the state-owned Russian news agency ITAR-Tass reported. Video highlights of the game show the crowd cheering adoringly for their president, who largely went undefended as he scored seemingly at will.
SOCHI (ITAR-TASS) - It was a glorious night in the glorious city of Sochi as President Vladimir Putin led his Night Hockey League team to a stunning, nail-biter victory over a team considered the greatest in this hemisphere by a score of 21-4.
President Putin, in a display of athletic prowess by a national leader not seen since Kim Jong-Il scored 11 holes in one in his first round of golf, scored six goals and had five assists in his team's most superior triumph over the forces representing the enemies of the great Russian republic.
Unlike Kim, who retired from golf after his initial success at the sport, our glorious president plans to continuing playing hockey and has hinted that he may accept invitations from the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers to play in the American hockey confederation. In this way, he is like the great Fidel Castro, who once rolled 28 consecutive 300 games before retiring from bowling.
"I would like very much to take my talents to America," the president said. "I think I could be the Most Valuable Person in hockey and win the Stanley Trophy all by myself. But I have work to do here. The Ukraine isn't going to conquer itself, you know."
The game began with a huge standing ovation for the beloved president. Even the soldiers stationed at the top of the stands stood and cheered as they trained their Kalashnikovs at the crowd below. Women and children wept openly as our physically fit president skated to center ice. Men were in awe as he squared up for the opening face-off.
He took the puck off the face-off and skated at nearly supersonic speed to the opponent's net, leaving bewildered defenders in his wake as he made the first of his six goals, slapping the puck past the goalie, who flailed helplessly like so many Crimean cowards in the face of the most manly Russian forces.
The opening salvo proved that our glorious president is most excellent when it comes to hockey, just as he demonstrates superior skills in all arenas of life - ruling the great nation that is Russia, leading our armed forces against the aggression of Ukrainian separatists or wrestling a bear and a tiger simultaneously while making sweet love to beautiful womens of all races and creeds.
There were some rough spots for the president's team. Leading 14-2 in the second period, the president took off down the ice, the defenders lying down before him like so many Ukrainian sheep, when, out of nowhere, an opposition defenseman came out of nowhere, like a stealth drone, and skated in front of the president. President Putin barely flinched and continued to the goal. The defenseman was whistled for a foul and told to report to the penalty box. He was never seen again.
President Putin's team then took a commanding lead as the opposition, fearing penalties, slacked off on defense and permitted the president to have his way with them, like so many weak and deluded Eastern Europeans.
Opposition coach Demitri Ivanovich lodged a formal complaint with the league governing body, objecting to the manner in which the game was officiated and asking why there was a car battery and jumper cables in his team's penalty box. His protest was dismissed with extreme prejudice and he was re-assigned to the animal control unit of the Sochi Police Department.
"I would like to formally apologize for my imprudent protest of the president's hockey team," Ivanovich said in a prepared statement. "I was mistaken and it was wrong for me to question his infinite wisdom and the infinite wisdom of the officials. GET THAT THING OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!"
At the match's conclusion, President Putin was awarded the Most Valuable Person On the Hockey Ice Award and also accepted, on behalf of his team, the trophy awarded to the most excellent team in the tournament. Members of the vanquished team bowed before the superior Putin-led squad and paid tribute to their abundant skills of hockey.
"President Putin," said opposition winger Pyotr Tchaikovsky (no relation), "is superior at hockey as he is with most things in life, including invading the Ukraine. It was a very good game and we are pleased with how we played and that our families will now be released from police custody."
Tchaikovsky was emphatic in denying that his team laid down on defense and refused to challenge President Putin on the ice.
"We cannot help that he has superior skills," Tchaikovsky said. "And did you see the car battery in the penalty box?"
In a post-game interview with state-television, President Putin said he was pleased with his team's triumph, but disappointed that his goalie gave up four goals, a matter that "would be dealt with." (The explosion of the goalie's car afterwards was determined to be "a completely routine accident that happens all the time.")
In closing, President Putin said he enjoyed the competition and that he couldn't wait to return to the ice.
"It's not whether you win or lose," he said. "Its how you play the game."

Your 2nd grade daughter expects you to pack her homework, grab her lunch, carry her backpack, and just shrugs when you threaten to stop. Should you send her to school without her things?
Parent advice
(from our panel of staff contributors)
As a mom whose daughter used to drop her backpack at mom's feet at school pickup, I can attest that there is hope. After not taking the hint for a few days, and a few silent standoffs as to whether I or she would walk back to pick it up before getting in the car, she stopped dropping it. We still laugh about my husband's niece who, when she was 5, shouted for help from the bathroom from her uncle, who told her, "You're 5, you can wipe yourself!" She replied, "I'll wipe when I'm 6!" We've taken some cues from that: A birthday is a good time to empower a child with new responsibilities (making her bed, feeding the dog), and to make it a compliment to her growing maturity.
The downside of cutting her off is that, while it'll make you feel better, it's at her expense. She'll be embarrassed, hungry and resentful, and rightfully so. Yeah, put in the position, she'll manage to stuff everything in her backpack, but you're not teaching her anything of value.
Bring down the temperature by helping her become self-sufficient, but backing it up with a deadline. Instead of the line-in-the-sand approach, tell her the problem in a calm way, that taking on these responsibilities is just part of growing up, and then practice a routine with her for a few days, showing her what you want her to do and how to do it. Say it starts for real on Monday. It's important not to get worked up about it if she makes mistakes. Showing your anger or disappointment in her failure to do these things tells her that it's your problem, too, but it isn't.
Expert advice
There's a way to alter this routine that removes the tension and reminds your child that a successful school day is actually her responsibility — not her parent's.
"The daughter expects her mom to do these things because her mom has given her the impression that they're her mom's job," says clinical psychologist Roni Cohen-Sandler, author of "I'm Not Mad, I Just Hate You! A New Understanding of Mother-Daughter Conflict" (Penguin). "If the mother knows this little girl is capable of putting her homework in the backpack and carrying the backpack, then she needs to be comfortable expecting her daughter to do that."
Resenting the dynamic and threatening to send her to school empty-handed just turns each morning into a power play — one that your daughter is clearly winning if she's shrugging off the threats. A better approach, she says, is to prepare the lunch, set it somewhere prominent, and then go about getting yourself ready.
"As you're ready to go out the door, ask in a cheerful voice, 'Do you have everything you need today?'"
If she doesn't, remind her to grab it. If she refuses, continue to walk out. No arguing, threats, cajoling. "If she doesn't have her homework, she'll experience the consequences. If she doesn't have her lunch, she's not going to starve. These are very low-risk consequences at this age."
But the habits that are forming are important ones to break. "You need to enlist your child to think for herself," Cohen-Sandler says. "Make this her problem instead of your problem."
Have a solution?
Your elementary-age kids get a lot of "games" for homework (word searches, mazes, etc.). Is this teaching them anything? Email us at email@example.com. Find "The Parent 'Hood" page on Facebook, where you can post your parenting questions and offer tips and solutions for others to try.

Party on! RedEye's 10 awesome party movies
Like so many films before it, the new flick "21 & Over" is a party movie--and seemingly proud of it. So many movies have explored this well-trod territory it's hard to create a "best" list, but that's not going to stop us. So after downing several drinks (juice boxes, of course), RedEye staff members came up with this list of our favorites. Some of these films have awesome party scenes. Others were built around one giant party. And some just scream, "Party!" Whatever the case, we would have loved to have been invited to the parties in these 10 films. RedEye Did we forget a great party movie? Let us know at RedEye's Facebook page.

The day of the death is celebrate in some countries where they remember the dead loves one with candles. I did not find the movie scary or boring.
What an incredible movie! Día de Muertos (Day f the Death) is a Mexican tradition that might become a world tradition after this movie! Family movie at its best!
Coco was the loving name of the daughter who had a relative in the dead world. Beautiful movie.
We bought the tickets to see this movie since we liked the trailer. We did not get disappointed with this movie. We think was an amazing story.
This movie was full of imagination and funny parts. The check point was totally humorous.
The movie was fantastic. What a wonderful sweet story and adventure.
The one person who walked out missed the main idea of this story. Silly.
Movie walk out
I loved how they portrayed the dead coming in and out from the dead world to the alive world.
The spirit animals idea was cute. Normally some people think animals do not have souls. I was not expecting this idea in the movie. Colorful scenes and good music in the movie. No like the boring Frozen movie that played first before this movie.
I found funny the family all mad because the music. The Mariachi in the Park was amusing.

Tag Archives: TBEX
TravelCon 2018: On Longevity, Building Community, and the Art of Pivoting in the Travel Industry
Slideshow: My First TBEX Experience
All in all, my first TBEX experience was wonderful. There were a lot of first-timers as well as veterans, so it was a great mix.
The conference had lectures and smaller sessions during the day, many of which I found useful – like branding advice, how to get sponsorship and even how to create and pitch your own TV travel show (favorite quote: "Tell a story and make it about the story. If it's about you, it's a therapy session!"). My sister always said I should be on camera (got to love family) and I like to tell stories so I think it's time I made travel videos, don't you think? Next trip.
In addition to connecting with a few wonderful folks in PR and pro travel journalists (including having lunch with fascinating, award-winning travel journalist Christopher Baker), it was great to finally meet some of my virtual travel blogger friends in real life after many months and in some cases, years: April of Absolute Travel Addict, Kara of The Vacation Gals, Erin of Our Tasty Travels, Lillie of Teaching Traveling and Robin of Robins Have Wings. The funniest comment was probably from Kara, who said she didn't recognize me all covered up (in my sweater and coat) because she always saw photos of me online in sundresses. Ha! That tells you where I've traveled the past few years.
And Keystone, Colorado? What a picturesque, peaceful location. The altitude did kick me hard and I had a headache the first couple of days (so much for thinking my Ethiopian-born self could handle it). Not to mention, one beer felt like three at once, so I didn't go too crazy (all that free wine too, such a shame).
I put together this slideshow below (to some Caribbean steel pan music, of course) to give you a quick peak into my TBEX weekend. Would you believe, I barely took out my SLR and have about 10 shots. The rest are courtesy of my Instagram app.
Just as soon as I recover fully and process all my thoughts, I'll be posting about my most inspiring moment and lesson of the weekend.
Oh and a big thanks to Absolute Travel Addict who treated me to dinner on our last night and to Visit St. Louis for my morning breakfast on the ride to the airport. The travel community is full of wonderful folks.

Sales Ended
Detroit Lions Shuttle Bus to Ford Field from Hamlin Pub Rochester
Event description
We are offering a shuttle to see The Detroit Lions play at Ford Field. This shuttle will be in one of our luxury shuttle or party buses. It will only cost $30 per person. It leaves Hamlin Pub Rochester at 2:45 P.M. You can enjoy an adult beverage along the way if you are 21 or older. This saves you the hassle of dealing with traffic, paying to park, and worrying about finding someone to drive. Our bus will arrive downtown and will allow you to hang out by the bus and tailgate if you want to. We will leave 20 minutes after the game ends. Call us for a potential discount for groups of 8 or more. We cannot control traffic and weather conditions so departure and arrival times may very if that happens. There also may be a quick stop or 2 along the way to the event to pick up more people but if there is it would allow for a quick bathroom break.
Questions and Answers.
Question - Is the price for a round trip?
Answer - Yes we take you to and from the event.
Question - Do I need my tickets printed to board the bus.
Answer - No, as long as the person who bought the tickets is part of the group and has proper I.D.
Question - Can you drink alcohol on the bus?
Answer - Yes as long as you are 21 or older with proper I.D. No glass please.
Question - Can I eat food on the bus?
Answer - No, but you can bring food and eat it outside the bus once we arrive to the event. The bus does stay there and allows you to hang out before entering the event if desired.
Question - Can you bring a cooler on the bus?
Answer - Yes, a small cooler is allowed and could be put by you feet.
Question - Are there bathrooms on the buses?
Answer - No, but there are porter potties out side most venues that can be used when we arrive. If the bus features a stop on the way to pick up more people you would have the option to run in while we board more people.
Question - Can you leave items on the bus when you go in the show?
Answer - Yes you can leave items on the bus but we are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Only people from the shuttle will be allowed on the bus but its hard for the driver to keep track of who brought what.
Question - Are there refunds?
Answer - All sales are final and no refunds will be issued unless the event gets cancelled.
Question - What if I miss the bus?
Answer - If its on your way to the event you can still find a ride there such as uber and take the bus home. If you miss it after the event you must find your own ride home.
We have the right to remove anyone guest from the bus that are not being respectful to others, that is to drunk, or any other reason our driver feels the are out of line.
Remember some of our buses are limousine style buses which means you do not have an individual seat and for sold out shuttles it can be a little bit of a tight fit. 586-772-2777
We also have a 6 hour package for most concert and sporting events for just $450 plus gratuity if you have a large enough group to rent an entire bus.

Thanksgiving With He-Man
Spiderman: I still don't see why we all have to have Thanksgiving
together. Superheroes, villians, goth people - it's a recipe for disaster!
Batman: Ha! Remember last year? Mark McGwire's head popped off in that free-for-all.
Boba Fett: Yea, the free-for-all that you started!
Skeletor: Shut up, Fett. You were the one that made us play drinking games. It's your fault.
Madman: Now, now, lets not rehash last year. I say we start this year off with something nice. How about we all go around the table and say what we are thankful for?
Evil Ash: Oh, geez. We all gonna hold hands and bow our heads in prayer, too?
Buddy Christ: You got a problem with that, bad ass?
Evil Ash: Sorry, Jesus.
Madman: Ok, Spawn, why don't you start?
Spawn stands up, glass of whiskey in his hand.
Spawn: I'm thankful for that outfit Asuka is wearing today.
Hubba Hubba!
He-Man: Hey! You can't talk about my girlfriend like that!
Spawn (laughing maniacally): Yourgirlfriend? I've been sleeping with her for three weeks!
He-Man: Liar!
Asuka: Umm....
Asuka: Ummm....
Spawn: Told ya!
He-Man runs from the room crying
Spiderman: Oh, for Christ's sake!
Buddy Christ: Hey, I had nothing to do with this, man.
Madman: Well, let's wait on dinner a bit until we all calm down. Let's watch some football.
They all gather in the living room to watch the game. Fifteen minutes later, there's a crashing sound. He-Man comes swinging through the window on a rope, his feet aimed for Spawn's head. He swings down on top of Spawn. They tumble to the ground and when Spawn stands up, his cape is ripped in half.
Spawn: You son of a bitch! You mother fucking asshole! You are dead! Do you hear me? DEAD!
He-Man: Yea, I'm shaking in my boots, you girlfriend stealer!
Spawn: My fucking cape. I can't believe it. You'll pay for this you asswipe!
Spawn runs from the room, still yelling obscenities.
Skeletor: Well, another fine Thanksgiving this is turning into.
Death: I think it's rather amusing.
Sandman: You would.
Boba Fett: Is that food ready yet? I'm starving.
Madman: The turkey should be just about cooked. Let's go back into the dining room.
Everyone moves towards the dining area while He-Man lingers, looking around.
Evil Ash: What's the matter He-Man, looking for your balls?
He-Man: Shut up, you freak. Hey, has anyone seen Battlecat?
Green Goblin: I think I saw him fucking your girlfriend. HAHAHAH!
They meet the others in the dining area.
Madman: Tada! I present to you the most amazing Thanksgiving meal ever!
Several Street Fighter guys bring in plates heaped with food and set them on the table.
Madman: Edward Scissorhands, would you do the honors, please?
Edward (mumbling): Every year, it's Edward cut the turkey, Edward cut the pies.
Spiderman: That is the hugest turkey I have ever seen. I can't wait to dig in.
He-Man: Where the hell is Battlecat?
Spawn: Really. He was just dying to dig into his plate.
Edward finishes slicing the meat and everyone clamors for the different plates. They dig in right away, eating hungrily and noisily.
Spawn: Hold up! I would like to make a toast before we all stuff ourselves full of this food.
He stands and raises his glass of whiskey, Asuka at his side.
Han Solo: I have a bad feeling about this...
Spawn: I thought I would not be able to eat this meal, I was so depsondent over He-Man ripping my cape. But there are ways to get over things. A little action from Asuka here didn't hurt....
He-Man (his mouth full of food): You bastards! Do you have to announce it?
Spawn: You know, He-Man, they say revenge is a dish best served cold, but I would much rather serve it hot.
He-Man: What the hell does that mean?
Spawn (mimicing He-Man): Has anyone seen Battlecat?
He-Man and everyone else stop chewing, stop talking and look up at Spawn, forks in midair. Spawn cackles.
Spawn: Enjoying the meat, He-Man?
He-Man (staring down at his plate in horror) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Chaos ensues. Everyone is either puking or running out of the room. He-Man faints. And Boba Fett calmly sits and passes himself some more meat.
Buddy Christ: Another Thanksgiving shot to hell.[other action figure posts here] That's it for me today - we've got Christmas lights to hang while the weather is still cooperating and a birthday to celebrate.

Save you Time and skip this one. The story is all over the place with a pathetic attempt at fish tails every 15 min. This movie simply boring with cheesy action sequences that outshined the poor acting. The only thing that could be worst than Red Sparrow, would be a Red Sparrow 2.
It was an accurate portrayal of Russian spies and their system of coercion and sex.
Was expecting a lot more action. Boring movie.
Jennifer Lawrence is tough to watch these days.
Have to give this a 2 stars, too much back and forth, plus Poor acting. Not a great story line.
A terrific film. So many of the negative reviews here would be laughable if they weren't so pathetic. Yes, there is harsh content but we should never expect or demand that creative expression shy away from the harsher realities of the human condition. Depiction is not necessarily endorsement. Considering that fact the conflict is the foundation of narrative, depiction is rarely endorsement. Make no mistake, this film does have a moral centre. And a strong female protagonist. See this film and make up your own mind. Don't heed the words of the prudes, hysterical feminists and would-be censors would would gladly trade in the freedoms we enjoy for a return to the ignominious era of the Hays code.
Pretty good movie, and Jennifer Lawrence flashes her groceries which is a nice bonus!
I wonder whether the people giving this a 1 star actually went to see the film. Were they encouraged to post based on the uninformed views of their pastor? They should stick to Disney offerings.
While the film has some holes in the plot and the characters were a little over the top, the nudity was hardly a big deal and the violence hardly as bad as many 3rd rate adventure pics.
A female Lassiter.
I thought this was a great movie. The acting was spot on, the plot was thought provoking but never gave anything away before the ending. It was a good spy movie. The other reviews about JLaw being raped or condoning rape were exaggerated. It added to the plot.

Alison Kosakowski, Vermont Agency of Agriculture, 802-828-2430
Monday, February 25, 2013
The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets has announced the appointment of Alan Graham to State Entomologist. Graham has served on staff at the Agency since 2001, most recently as Vector Management Coordinator.
Graham steps into his new role with a wealth of experience in entomology, specializing in mosquito management. His interest in insects began at an early age. Over the past decade at the Agency, his work has focused on Arborvirus surveillance and mosquito suppression activities. A venerable mosquito expert, he has assembled an impressive collection of 45 species for the state. He is a member of the Northeastern Mosquito Control Association, The American Entomological Society, The Entomological Society of America, and The American Mosquito Control Association, among other organizations.
Graham is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a Master of Science degree in Entomology and Applied Ecology. He has an undergraduate degree from Syracuse University in Zoology, with a focus on invertebrates. He has taught school in Costa Rica and traveled extensively. For 7 years he worked at Stroud Water Research Center in London Grove, PA doing ecological stream research, studying river systems along the east coast and as far west as Idaho.
During his tenure at the Agency, Graham has also worked with various issues involving exotic pest surveillance, household pest issues, home owner questions and agricultural pests. For the past several years, he has been a member of the state Invertebrate Species Advisory Group.
"Alan's hands-on experience and professionalism will be invaluable as we continue to address the mosquito population in our state," said Tim Schmaltz, director of Plant Industry, who will oversee Alan in his new role. "Alan understands the complicated nuances of integrated vector management, and will be key to our success managing this pest, as well as other insect issues in our state."
"Vector management is a top priority for our Agency," said Secretary Chuck Ross. "The issue becomes more critical with every season, as we continue to experience a shift in weather patterns. Alan has the experience and expertise to lead the state forward in addressing these needs. I am pleased to appoint him to State Entomologist."
Graham's appointment is effective immediately. He will be based at the state lab in Berlin.

KILGORE--The Frankston ISD school board has been named the regional winner for the 2013 School Board of the Year (SBOTY) Award. Frankston ISD will represent Region 7 as its nominee for the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) Texas School Board of the Year competition, which will be announced in September.
Those serving on the 2012-2013 Regional SBOTY are as follows: Junior Mascorro, President, Ali Atwood, Vice President, Carl House, Secretary, Bob Whitehurst, Mark Bostick, Jerry Jones, and Tim Brumley.
The Frankston ISD board was nominated by their superintendent, Mr. Keith Murphy, for their collaboration, synergy, ethical standards, financial integrity, and their commitment to students and staff. The Frankston ISD board of trustees shows dedication as a policy-making body. According to their application, the Board dedicated themselves to shouldering the burden, answering the challenge, rallying the larger Frankston community around a shared vision in an effort to offer the very best education possible to students in Frankston, Texas.
In June, retiring trustee, Ali Atwood earned the "master trustee" award from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). Atwood was part of a group that presented two sessions at the Leadership Conference in Ft. Worth. Among other things, Atwood spoke about the great accomplishments of Frankston ISD; she will be also making this presentation in Austin this summer.
Created in 1971, the School Board Awards Program recognizes those school boards that demonstrate outstanding dedication and rendered ethical service to the children of Texas. Nominations are based on the following criteria: functions as a policy-making body, adherence to adopted board policies, support for educational performance in accordance with state-established standards, support for educational improvement projects, commitment to a code of ethics, provision of financial support for the school system, participation in workshops and other performance improvement programs, placement of the welfare of children served by the school system above personal or political motives, public relations efforts, including community awareness, and maintenance of harmonious and supportive relationships among board members.
Frankston ISD, along with 19 other regional winners, will be reviewed by the School Board Awards Committee in August where five Honor Boards will be announced. All regional and honor boards are recognized at the TASA/TASB Convention which takes place in Dallas, September 27-29, 2013.
"Region 7 Education Service Center is committed to student success by providing quality programs and services that meet or exceed our customers' expectations."

Cutting and pasting enormous chunks of DNA into the chromosomes of mice, scientists have uncovered at least one genetic cause for a spectrum of urinary tract disorders, the most common survivable congenital defects in humans. The finding, published in the November 16 issue of EMBO Journal, links a previously studied gene, called GATA-2, with ensuring the proper development of the genitourinary tract. From earlier work, scientists already knew that GATA-2 is critical for the formation of blood.
The discovery paves the way for researchers to identify diagnostic and/or treatment strategies to combat a variety of bladder and kidney disorders in newborns, most notably a condition called hydroureteronephrosis, a physiological plumbing problem in which urine cannot make its way to the bladder because of an anatomical defect in the tubes (ureters) that connect the kidney to the bladder.
"This is a great example of how a basic research project can serendipitously lead to a better understanding of the cause of a common human birth defect," said Dr. Judith Greenberg, director of the Division of Genetics and Developmental Biology at the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which provided funding for the study.
Despite its unfamiliar-sounding name, hydroureteronephrosis is a prevalent malady. One in 200 babies has the disorder, which is usually diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound screening and in many cases can be surgically repaired. Nevertheless, scientists don't understand the underlying cause of the problem.
But while the disease-related implications of the finding may be readily apparent, Dr. Douglas Engel of Northwestern University, who led the study, is excited about the more general, but profound, impact his team's discovery will have on the larger task of ascribing genes to functions in the developing mouse--and almost certainly human--embryo.
Until now, no one would have suspected that the GATA-2 protein did anything besides helping the developing organism make blood, since when researchers first created mice that lacked the GATA-2 gene, the inability of the mutant mice to make blood caused them to die in utero. Using a new genetic technique, Dr. Engel and his group have for the first time succeeded in rescuing mutant GATA-2-less mice from death. This technical feat revealed the GATA-2 protein's second, but equally important, function in programming the correct development of the kidney and bladder.
"This is a very powerful strategy to identify the more subtle genetic abnormalities that lead to disease," said Dr. Engel.
The task of assigning genes to functions is indeed a daunting one that is currently limited by the fact that researchers are stuck in a virtual "Catch-22:" they must work backwards from an outwardly expressed trait or defect(called a phenotype) to its root genetic cause. But in doing so, only the earliest activity of a specific developmental gene can be identified, since deleting it often has fatal consequences, ruling out further studies. If the same protein is required in a different tissue later in development, the activities of these so-called intermediary genes--as Dr. Engel describes them, "things that signal other things"--get lost in the shuffle, and thereby are extremely difficult to study via standard mammalian genetic experiments.
According to Dr. Engel, his team's new results stemmed from the fact that such standard--and usually effective--genetic strategies, in which relatively small stretches of DNA containing a gene of interest are studied, were not answering basic questions the team kept asking about the GATA-2 gene, such as why the protein is so plentiful in tissues all over the body if its only role is in blood formation, a process that takes place in the fetal liver and spleen.
Indeed, Dr. Engel recalled, "We were going about dissecting this problem the wrong way."
Changing tack, the team began a series of experiments using molecules called YACs (yeast artificial chromosomes) that can package extraordinarily large amounts of DNA--containing not only the gene of interest but also thousands of base pairs that "flank," or surround, the gene in its usual environment within the chromosomes inside the mouse cell's nucleus. With the help of YACs, Dr. Engel and his group hoped to replace not only the missing GATA-2 gene in mouse embryos lacking it, but also all of the gene's "control elements"--the coded information specifying where, when, and how much of a particular gene is made into RNA, and then into protein, in all of the tissues where it is needed.
In fact, the team was lucky in the sense that despite the large amount of DNA inserted into the YACs along with the GATA-2 gene--which did contain the elements specifying GATA-2 production in blood-forming tissues and "rescued" the mice from death--the DNA sequences accounting for expression of the gene in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder were still missing, thus unveiling the protein's new rolein genitourinary development.
Scientists generally assume that a gene's control elements reside near the gene itself, usually within a few hundred base pairs from a gene's beginning orend. Thus, Dr. Engel and his colleagues at Northwestern University, Harvard Medical School, and Tsukuba University School of Medicine in Tsukuba, Japan, were particularly surprised to discover that some of GATA-2's control elements--specifically, those governing the expression of the gene in tissues such as the genitourinary system--must reside hundreds of thousands of base pairs away from the gene itself.
Notwithstanding the power of the new method, Dr. Engel was quick to note that it does not preclude the need for other, more routine genetic probing strategies. Rather, he said, using large DNA vectors such as YACs offers genetic researchers a second chance, as it were, to peer into later developmental windows, thereby exposing previously unknown functions of a variety of genes.
In addition to NIGMS, other funders of the study included the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, and the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a problem of the X chromosome. It is a condition that is inherited from the parents. FXS is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
FXS is caused by problems with the FMR1 gene. These problems prevent fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) from developing. The protein helps to make connections in the brain. Without the protein, certain connections in the brain cannot be made. This causes developmental problems and prevents children from fully developing some higher cognitive functions.
The main risk factor for FXS is having a parent with an FMR1 mutation. Most people who inherit a minor mutation, which is sometimes called a premutation, do not develop the symptoms and signs of FXS. A few premutated children may show signs that resemble autism. Others, primarily males, may develop a set of neurological symptoms called fragile X tremor ataxia syndrome in later adult life.
Children of mothers with FMR1 premutations are at risk of inheriting a fully mutated FMR1 gene severe enough to cause symptomatic FXS. If a woman does not have symptoms and is a carrier of an FMR1 mutation or premutation, each child of hers has a 50% chance of inheriting that gene. Of the children that inherit that gene, boys are much more likely to develop symptoms than girls. The severity of the disorder may vary between different individuals.
In general, each generation tends to have worse mutations and a higher risk of FXS than the previous one.
The number and severity of symptoms varies widely. Symptoms tend to be less frequent and milder in females. Symptoms can include:
The doctor will ask about symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. FXS may be suspected if a child has:
The diagnosis can be confirmed by genetic testing with a DNA blood test.
There is no cure for FXS. Treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms. Treatment may include:
Medications used to treat symptoms of FXS include:
Specific educational strategies depend on the degree of developmental delays and/or intellectual disability. Educational strategies include setting a stable educational environment for the patient that includes:
There are no known ways to prevent FXS once a person is born. If you have FXS or risk factors for FXS, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.

6 Ways to Welcome Change in Your Life
By Brandi-Ann Uyemura
When a recent event such as a job loss, end of a relationship or illness has shaken you to the core, what do you do? Do you embrace the road you are now on or do you resist, react, and avoid change at all costs? It's a choice that will either paralyze you or propel you forward towards self-growth.
Being on the verge of impending change is probably one of the hardest places to be. At every fork in the road there are decisions that need to be made and questions about the outcome. The slate is blank and the only choices are to stay where you are or move forward. What choice will you make? To get to the point of life-changing transformation, we need to do the work. And change, good or bad, is painful. It is the ending of one life and a beginning of another. How you do deal with that fear of the unknown? Do you jump into the next phase of your life allowing the "what if's" to consume your thoughts and dictate your actions? Or do you open yourself up to something different? Ask yourself how often you make unconscious decisions about your future that end up propelling you into self-sabotaging behavior?
You could turn the other cheek and continue doing what you've always done or you could open your eyes to its gift. That gift is the opportunity you have to create a conscious, healthy and wealthy life, the life that you really want. It's a life that comes out of self-growth and life-changing transformation. How do you get there?
Here are six things you can do in the midst of uncertainty to choose differently that will ultimately change the trajectory of your life.
