LEWISBURG, Pa. - Does time required for athletic participation have an effect on a student's academic performance?
Bucknell associate professor of economics Thomas Kinnaman answered that question in the lunch talk, "Student Life at Bucknell: Two Econometric Applications."
Applying econometric techniques to explore the relationship between athletic participation and student performance, Kinnaman examined the effect of varsity athletic participation on academic performance using 2004 graduating class data.
He started with competing hypotheses: "Athletic preparation and participation reduces time for class work, or, Athletic preparation and participation improves time management skills and the ability to achieve goals."
Kinnaman found that for statistically similar students athletes had an in major GPA of .033 less than comparable non-athletes. "The data suggest that this difference is the difference between a B+ and an A- in one course," he said.
With this minor difference, he concluded that "athletic preparation and participation has a minimal impact on academic performance."
In another study, Kinnaman looked at the off-campus student living impact on local property values. Student researchers Kendra Johnston '04 and Lisa Thier '05 contributed to the study.
Kinnaman started with two competing hypotheses: "Students living off campus generate noise and litter and, thereby, reduce local property values, or, Students contribute to the overall demand for housing in Lewisburg and, therefore, increase property values."
For the study, he used an econometric model that examined sales prices of student housing with comparative non-student housing using data from Lewisburg. The results revealed that the average student house sold for 24.7 percent more than a comparative house, or about $25,000 per house.
"Using this estimate, Bucknell students increase property values of all Lewisburg homes by $5.875 million, which is $25,000 times 235 units," he said. "This increase in property values results from the higher rents from having more individuals compete for the same number of houses."
While the athletics and GPA study was specifically motivated by a question asked by the Committee on Athletics on which Kinnaman serves as a member, he said his main motivation in completing the two studies was "to help the Bucknell community to understand these issues" and that interpretations of the data were open for consideration.

A Kroger employee is in jail because police say she gave more than $1,000 worth of gas to her friends for free.
Police say 20-year-old Victoria Robinson, who worked as a fuel clerk at the Kroger on Clarksville Pike, gave her friends about $1,100 worth of free gas between April and June.
Kroger's loss prevention team noticed that gas wasn't being paid for and confronted Robinson.
Police say Robinson admitted to the crime earlier this month.
Because the gas was worth more than $1,000, Robinson is charged with felony theft. She has not posted bond at this time.

Saturday was to be a big night for 21-year-old center Nick Bjugstad as he squared off against his hometown Minnesota Wild for the first time.
Bjugstad was Minnesota's Mr. Hockey in his final season in high school and he also spent three seasons at the University of Minnesota.
A first-round pick in 2010, Bjugstad made his debut with the Panthers last April after leaving Minnesota after his junior year. Bjugstad played in 11 games with the Panthers to end last season, but missed all of training camp after sustaining a concussion Sept. 8.
"I'm excited to play my hometown team because I know I have a lot of family and friends back home watching," said Bjugstad, who had an assist Thursday against the Bruins in his second game back from the concussion.
"I can't worry about who we're playing though. I have to worry about our game plan and our style. I will have it the back of my head. I grew up watching these guys."
Coach Kevin Dineen pulled Bjugstad aside for a long, private conversation after Friday's workout with some wondering if Bjugstad might be headed to the minors.
Dineen said that was not the case. Bjugstad started the night on a line with Shawn Matthias and Jesse Winchester.
"The gist of the conversation was for him to not be happy just being here," Dineen said. "I have no problems with his last couple games."
Bjugstad was expected to start the season in the minors but made his return from a concussion Tuesday in Nashville. Bjugstad had only one family member in town for Saturday's game, but he knows the Wild has sold quite a few tickets to Team Bjugstad in anticipation of Florida's visit to St. Paul next month.
"Everyone's watching this one on the tube," Bjugstad said, "but if I'm there next month, there are a lot of tickets sold just in case I am playing. That will be the big ticket for the home folks, if I make it there."
• Dineen joked that as a former player at the Denver University, he wasn't a big fan of Bjugstad's while he played at Minnesota.
"I'm a DU guy. I'm not big on the Gophers so that doesn't go far with me," Dineen said with a grin. "The stinkin' Gophers, like on Caddyshack."
Minnesota's Dany Heatley has had many memorable moments at the Panthers' Sunrise arena, although he wasn't able to get out of his scoring slump Saturday.
The 32-year-old winger came into Saturday with 17 goals in his career against the Panthers but none in four games against them as a member of the Wild.
Heatley, who has yet to score a goal this season, was MVP of the 2003 All-Star Game held in Sunrise when the then-Atlanta Thrasher scored four goals in a losing effort. Heatley's 17 goals against Florida are the most of any current Minnesota player.
• Bjugstad isn't the only Florida player with ties to Minnesota, as defenseman Tom Gilbert is a Minneapolis native who spent parts of the past two seasons playing for the Wild.
Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher spent a few seasons with the Panthers and was at one point the team's interim general manager. Fletcher was featured in one of Florida's 20th anniversary "good luck" videos shown during opening night.
• Minnesota defenseman Keith Ballard was scratched Saturday for the third consecutive game after taking a puck to the face in a game last Monday at Buffalo.
Ballard signed a six-year deal with the Panthers not long after coming over in from Phoenix in the Olli Jokinen trade on draft day in 2008. Ballard only spent two seasons with Florida, however, going to Vancouver in a deal that netted the Panthers a first-round pick (Quinton Howden).

Responsibility is making sure you do what you are assigned to do.
"Outside of society isolated man, owing nothing to anyone, has a right to live as he pleases. But in society, where he necessarily lives at the expense of others, he owes them the price of his keep in work. This is without exception. To work is therefore an indispensable duty for social man. Rich or poor, powerful or weak, every idle citizen is a rascal." Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile or On Education
Learning to be responsible is one of the most important lessons children can learn in school. Responsibility is taught when students are expected to complete their assignments, when they are entrusted with the care of school property, and when they are held accountable for their behavior. Responsibility is also taught when students observe adults acting in a responsible manner.
In a democracy, the lessons of responsibility are particularly important for children to learn. Democracies require that citizens participate in their own governance. Individuals become responsible not only for their own actions but for the actions of others as well.
Examples of irresponsible behavior are sometimes easier to identify than examples of responsible behavior, but teachers should try when possible to praise the responsible actions of their students, too.
Examples of responsibility from history and literature:
- Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck
- The Yearling
- Little Women
- The Miracle Worker
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
- The Life and Writings of Frederick Douglass
Classroom Activities
- All Grades

Are millennials saving the economy?
For them, the latest technology is a need, not a want. They deny themselves little and plan to save money later. Can they spend us into prosperity?
John T. Rogers, age 26, grew up in rural West Texas, raised by a single mother who often worked three jobs to make ends meet. He says his 59-year-old mother remains fiscally conservative, refusing to spend much on herself, though she now earns a respectable income.
But when it comes to spending, Rogers is not following in her footsteps. "Not to knock J.C. Penney's, but I definitely wanted to step up my style," he said. Earning $46,000 a year as a communications manager for a private, nonprofit university in Denver hasn't held him back. He bought a hybrid Lexus SUV after graduating from college and recently purchased a $950 Hugo Boss suit as well as an iPad 3, since the MacBook he purchased five years ago "moves at a glacial pace and I can't carry it around to meetings and look cool."
To balance his spending, Rogers skimps in other areas, shunning trips to Starbucks and seeking out free or inexpensive cultural activities. Still, he's racked up $3,500 in credit card debt and owes $19,000 in undergraduate loans and $22,000 in graduate loans that will kick in this September.
Rogers is like many of his millennial peers, who are helping to jump-start the economy in ways that their more fiscally conservative boomer parents are not. Despite the fact that those ages 18 to 29 have a high unemployment rate, at 12.4%, and those with college degrees are the most indebted graduates in history, millennials are positive about the economy and their futures. According to the February 2012 report by the Pew Research Center "Young, Underemployed and Optimistic" 88% of those ages 18 to 34 say they either earn enough money now or expect they will in the future.
This has led to some relatively uninhibited spending by young people. According to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Gen Y shoppers will be a big factor in leading the economic recovery, since this generation has a greater willingness to spend, especially on new technologies. "Gen Y is accustomed to instant gratification and demands the latest and greatest gadgetry; a tech lifestyle is a need, not a want," the report says. Millennials are more inclined toward spending on discretionary items, because they have fewer financial responsibilities and less need than older shoppers to accumulate wealth in the short term, the report says.
● MSN Real Estate: Will millennials ever be homeowners?
Jason Dorsey, chief strategy officer at The Center for Generational Kinetics in Austin, Texas, says that while there's certainly a significant group of young people who are struggling financially, there are also plenty of affluent young professionals. And they often spend without considering the long-term implications.
One big reason? Spending is easier with credit cards. "Nobody our age carries that much cash anymore," says Chris Sands, 27, of oXYGen Financial, a financial planning firm tailored to Generations X and Y. The preoccupation with material goods is a reflection of the consumer-driven culture in which they were raised, says Matthew Segal, 26, co-founder and president of Our Time, an advocacy group for young Americans. "We've been deluged by ad and marketing campaigns from the crib," in a way that no prior generation has experienced, he said. And the rise of social media means that there are many more platforms to market to this group.
Studies show that young people are more focused on material goods than prior generations were at the same age. The Monitoring the Future study, an annual survey of high school seniors, found that only 30% of baby boomers surveyed from 1976 to 1978 felt that having a new car every two to three years was important, while 44% of millennials surveyed between 2000 and 2010 valued that as important. In an American Freshman survey of entering college students, 42% of boomers surveyed in 1966 said that being very well off financially was important -- while that number rose to 80% of millennials surveyed in 2011, a record high.

- Housing mismatch: Boomers sell, millennials rent
- Exclusive survey: Hottest brands among millennials
Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University and the author of "Generation Me" said this reflects a general cultural trend toward individualism and focusing on the self, resulting in a greater emphasis on the extrinsic values of money, status and fame.
Millennials are also gun-shy when it comes to investing in the stock market, Dorsey says, causing them to be more conservative investors, or even to manage their own money. Less money in the market also means they have more cash on hand to spend. The first Financial Independence Survey by The PNC Financial Services Group, released in March, found that only 36% are saving for a house, while only 38% are saving for retirement. It says that most 20-somethings put off thinking about funding retirement until they're approaching 30. Only 13% of 20- and 21-year-olds report saving for retirement, compared with nearly 50% of 28- and 29-year-olds.
Boomers, on the other hand, hard hit by the stock market and with homes that have significantly depreciated in value, are becoming more pragmatic -- though it's also a reflection of age. The older you get, the more practical your shopping habits become, says Elizabeth Harris, senior vice president and strategy director at Leo Burnett USA. Her company forecasts that over the next five years, 64% of millennials will spend more on discretionary items, while that number is only 32% for boomers. She said boomers are more practical and driven about saving for the future, while "millennials are optimistic, engaged and connected, so to them it's more of a journey."
Millennial children are influencing their parents' spending habits in one key area: technology. The two generations spend roughly the same amount of money on electronics. Boomers want to tap the knowledge of their children in this area to appear as young and hip as possible, says Dorsey.
Many millennials also have more money for discretionary purchases because they're being supported by their boomer parents. Twenge says many parents are helping to finance their children's lifestyles, purchasing their clothes and technology. "A lot of 25-year-olds are under the fantasy that money grows on trees. They're not balancing the checkbook," she says.
The members of the generation raised by their boomer parents expect a certain standard of living, says Harris. She points out that among the top five spending categories, only one -- car insurance -- is not discretionary; they're conditioned to not consider these items as "extras." Sands says boomers haven't done their children any favors by funding their upscale lifestyle and failing to teach them successful financial habits. Millennials are much more comfortable going into debt, unlike their boomer parents, Twenge says. And that, she says, could carry some "bad long-term consequences."
More from The Fiscal Times:
Make no mistake, it will be the Millennials who lead the recovery, but it will be the ones who learned the lessons of the recession and managed their finances responsibly who did it, not the ones who fed their never-ending need to consume by racking up a mountain of debt.
I am 27 and don't agree with this excessive spending. You'll look back in ten years and wonder, "where did all my money go?" Spending money you don't have leads to bills you can't pay. When you start defaulting on loans because you bought a Lexus rather than a Honda that will hurt the banks and the economy. If an entire generation is doing it we will be in big trouble. Those things you have to save for if you just have to have them. I think the SUV purchase bothers me the most because it is going to depreciate in value. At a higher income level you may not have to worry about that, but $46k really. I'm not saying you can't have anything, but you need to be smarter with your purchases. If you are one of those people who is going to upgrade your car in a year or two you are going to take a big hit on that Lexus. I don't think they should be praising anyone for buying a Lexus making $46,000 a year, or using credit cards to purchase toys. It's a similar situation where people where taking loans to invest in the stock market it will not end well for anyone.
This is such old tripe. I have heard this arguement for each generation coming out into the world. Whether the economy is good or bad, young professionals come out and spend their money on looking 'good'/'cool'/'professional'. And then some dumb article either praises or damns the generation for being careless or leading a recovrery. It is a normal stage there is nothing different about this generaion and any other. Please don't somehow try to attribut praise to a normal demographic occurrence. In 10 years that same young man will be working out of debt, buying a home and starting a family. Will we praise him for leading the recovery? I doubt it, it will be the next generation that is buying high end goods and services that will be leading the economu.
Absolute tripe.
I am 25 years old, married, have owned my home for 2+ years, max out my Roth IRA, contribute to my 401K, have an emergency fund and additional savings and have no consumer debt, all while making $40k per year. My wife and I drive 7 and 9 year old, paid off cars. I do not have a smartphone or own an ipad. I do have student loan debt that I am aggressively paying down. There are some of us out there who have observed and learned A LOT from the Great Recession. Hopefully the responsibile ones will be able to lead by example and influence our peers.
Yes: I am fond of Amos the Prophet. And I'm neither Jew nor Xtian.
This isn't an 'ignorant stereotype'... It's the truth. While I myself (at 22) know many people who are saving enough and not jumping at every opportunity to spend , I also know those who buy everything new that comes their way.
That being said. I graduated college a year ago - got myself a job, not the BEST job, but one that pays the bills. I pay for living expenses + tv + internet + cell phone. I bought a GMC SUV last October on which I make monthly payments(and insurance). I have student loans out the a**, yet I make those payments every month. I just purchased an iPad 3 a couple months ago. All this AND I save money in the bank and a 401K.
This article's main point (what I got from it) is that we spend more than our parents did at our age and I agree - I most certainly do. I know I'm doing something to boost the economy (like buying a car) the only fault I see is in ourselves, not the article, and it's that our generation as a whole (meaning not everyone but the MAJORITY of us) purely and simply do not save enough money for the future

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 470 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MFD1412 Wonderful Stay Being in Key West, we didn't really stay much at the hotel, however, when we were there, the room was great. The showers were clean, bed was incredibly comfortable, the hotel itself was very Key West. The colors, the vibe were incredibly relaxing. Its away from the hustle and bustle of Duval Street, this place is definetly a place I'll be returning to. Staff was friendly, concierge was great in helping us plan our weekend. They offer shuttle service to the downtown area or to rent scooters, and taxis are literally a minute away ready to go. Overall it was great. I really enjoyed this hotel. February 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frank211 This hotel is nice and cozy The outstanding staff is what makes this hotel a place to visit. The restaurant features ¨Gluten Free¨meals. It has a professional staff from the Mahi Mahi to the good ole Hot dog. The swimming pool bar has new water mist spray fans which is a must in Aug. in Key West. If I were the manager I would clean the pool more often than once a week because all that sun block makes for a murky pool. I would also vacuum the outdoor hall way carpets more often. With all the competition around I think we need to go just a little deeper on the outdoor appearances. Breakfast hours are served too late in the morning for business travelers. Should start at 0630.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fresco24 First time visit to the Sheraton My first to Key West and staying at this hotel. It was great. Ideally enjoyed sitting outdoors at the bar overlooking the pool. Wished the bar and pool stayed open later though. Despite that it was an enjoyable stay. August 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PKab Not a resort. Dont recommend. No recognition of spg Platinum. Got a "courtyard view" room which was basically a tree in front of the window on a low floor. Did not have a bottle opener to loan to us, also you had to go upto the front desk if you needed something like toothpaste. Arent resorts supposed to be full service? Rooms were old and looked worn. Not a resort feel. Would not recommend to anyone. December 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by CindyR Very nice stay! Very comfortable and close to everything. September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravellingOZ short stay w/ family The Key West Sheraton is an excellent place to stay. We enjoyed the facilities, services, complementary downtown shuttle. There is just one thing which should be fixed - we had an appartment at the back side (2nd floor) of the building complex where the air condition -even if switched off- (probably coming from the central air condition system somewhere in the building) has produced a permanent background noise which made sleeping a challenge. We've been compensated by reducing the overall amount due. When staying there I recommend to explicitly ask for a quiet room. Again - this was the only (but important) disappointing thing there ... August 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Manju Staff needs proper training Room was not ready at guaranteed time. Staff didn't seem concerned. Front desk staff could not answer simple questions. On Tuesday, during rainstorm, I slipped and fell on wet rug on the covered walkway, I reported the incident to the staff and they acted as if it didn't matter. I wasn't even asked if I had gotten hurt. I asked to speak to the general manager and he only spoke to the clerk and whispered something in his ear. I asked that this incident be reported but I'm sure it was not done. The staff is horrible and should be given sensitivity training by Human Resource. This was my 2nd trip to this hotel but I will never stay there again. June 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mickeytheonion sheraton suites Key west a good resort which has steadily improved and is hard to beat, clean, large suites, excellent pool and restaurant August 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annette55 Perfect Key West Location The Sheraton Key West was the perfection location for a relaxing and spacious resort. The suites are amazing and comfortable. The staff was very attentive, the food was outstanding, and the pool was perfect. Being directly across the street from the beach made it a perfect choice. A short drive to shopping and Duvall Street made it very easy to enjoy our visit to Key West. Loved it and will return often. March 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by RobinC Great front desk Jonathan at the front desk was very accommodating. We needed to shorten our stay and he was very helpful with the SPG member services. He took care of calling them for us. He was helpful adding an extra room to our reservation also. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by igtreeves Key West The staff was friendly and professional. The room was extremely comfortable and the amenities were exceptional. The free shuttle was a great selling point. It made getting to downtown Key West simple and enjoyable. September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Monkster A great experience! we just returned from an 8 day stay here and had a most enjoyable time. The staff of all areas were most helpful and eager to meet any of our needs. We are eagerly awaiting a return stay at this "First Class Resort". Thank you to all!! See you soon! February 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jee9002 Great stay! We had a great stay for 5 nights. Concierge Max booked several great outings for us which we really enjoyed. Breakfast buffet was good as were the accommodations. Beach is a bit inconvenient to get to and the pool is on the small side. We enjoyed poolside yoga in the morning and we felt the shuttle service was invaluable. Sometimes more passengers than seats available but the drivers were good about having additional vans go to Duval street if needed. Drivers had great suggestions about restaurants, attractions and were very friendly. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again if I return to Key West. July 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jankay Gorgeous Hotel Hotel was amazing. Pool was nice. Beach was gorgeous. Shuttle service didn't always follow the schedule. However, it was convenient to get to downtown. The concierge service was very unhelpful. Most times, they were not at the desk or not answering the phones. They were not helpful with any request made of them. They were not knowledgable about the surrounding area and activities. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RockRoll Comfortable and good shuttle into Key West They are continuing to maintain with fresh paint. I also observed the grounds crew trimming trees. The common area was always clean and well maintained. August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharon6188 Liked It A Lot We enjoyed our stay at this hotel immensely. The staff was friendly, courteous and eager to accomodate. Steven in the Coral Crab Cafe served us breakfast and dinner and did a great job. the shuttle drivers were cordial and helpful in recommending places to go. The housekeeping staff did a thorough job cleaning the room and did so quietly. The front desk staff was very pleasant, gracious and informative. We would absolutely stay at this hotel next time we are in Key West!! January 1, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by robruiz Room Cleaning Our room bed sheet were changed with spots like blood , we realized it late at night and took them off and put them on the floor for the maid to change it the following day. The following day we called 3 times to get our room clean and inclutiting our last call round 8pm before going to dinned. We got back in our room round 02AM and our room was no clean with the bed sheet seating in the floor were we left them two days ago. Front desk agent Manyma (not sure of the speaking) was very rude she should not be in customers services. no smile, no thank you, no welcome. she was just looking how to make my stay miserable . August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by sunshinedec2011 adequate hotel - not in old town This hotel is not near old town but the location is right across the street from Smathers beach. I rented a bike at the hotel (mopeds were also available). The bike ride to old town took 20 minutes. The shuttle took 15 minutes but was free. The concierge, Allyson, was excellent. She doesn't work there full time but she was fabulous. The room was adequate. The bedroom and dressing room were nicer than the living room/kitchen but overall the suite was fine. December 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by heidi65 Overall perfect vacation We have never been as pleased with everything as much as we were here! The staff was great the hotel was great and very clean. We were treated like family and were remembered when we came through the lobby. Key West in general is just a great vacation and the Sheraton has the best location. The shuttle service is a great plus, and yes Mr. Ed is a sweetie. Make your next vacation at the Sheraton in Key West. You won't be dissapointed! April 28, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Disappointment100 This Hotel was a disappointment I've stayed at this property before and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. This trip was different. The room was in the far back of the hotel on the 2nd floor (212). There was construction going on which started early in the morning. The stairway smelled like Duval Street after a rough night. The shower did not drain properly and became a wading pool and we could hear the person upstairs every time they used the bathroom. (which was 3 times between 1:30 and 2:30 am) All this for the not too low price of $392.62 for one night. I understand it's Spring break but as a Starwood member I was extremely disappointed and do not plan to stay at this property again. The hotel staff was nice, that's about it. March 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pris25 Happy with hotel! First time to Key West and wasn't sure of a suite, but wanted balcony with ocean view. We were pleasantly surprised how beautiful the room was (like a small apartment) and the comfortable bed! When we checked in there were these awesome cookies (macademia nut & white chocolate....very nice!). However, I was disappointed there was soda with lime and not cold water. The public beach across the street was convenient and nice to walk on; but, there was too much seaweed that smelled (not sure why it was not cleaned up), so we went into the pool instead, which was great!! July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BECCAT Beautiful and Convenient to Everything Our suite was absolutely wonderful. We did not know about the shuttle service at first but caught on quickly . Great service . The staff was wonderful. The whole property was so very clean and we felt so safe. OverAll this facility was A1A....Thanks for making our first trip to Key West so enjoyable. March 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by marathon Excellent Hotel Great service, hotel staff is courteous and friendly, especially John at the front desk. Clean comfortable rooms. Good food at the Sheraton Coral Cafe. Beach aross the street. Free shuttle service to and from downtown Key West. I highly recommend this hotel. January 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ronton great newly renovated rooms Rooms were great, staff was great, pool was good. Location is a bit out of downtown but fine if you have a car. Only slight beef was as platinum members we ended up with one of the few rooms without a balcony, but other than that everything was great. May 20, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by UNRESOLVED UNTRUSTWORTHY EMPLOYEE WE HAD LEFT SOME ITEMS IN ONE OF THE CABINETS WHEN WE LEFT THE HOTEL. WE CALLED TO TELL THEM WERE WE LEFT THE ITEMS. AND NOBODY IN HOUSEKEEPING CLAIMED THEY SAW THEM. I THEN SAID WELL I GUESS THE NEXT GUEST GOT SOME FREE STUFF, I WAS THEN TOLD THAT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE BEFORE ANY NEW GUEST GET ACCESS TO THE ROOM ALL CABINETS & DRAWERS ARE OPENED BY THE HOUSEKEEPING. I CONTACTED THE MANAGER AND HE WAS NO HELP AND WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY WRONG DOING ON HIS STAFFS PART & DID NO COMPENSATION TO US FOR WHAT HIS STAFF DID. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYBODY March 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Merle Nice hotel Nice hotel in a good place. Hotel is located not far from Downtown, has it's own parking and free shuttle to Key West Downtown. It is very convenient to left you car on the hotel parking and use shuttle to reach center of city. Hotel has private pool and beach nearby. A lot of grass are in the sea actually but you can do snorkeling for instance. Breakfasts are good and tasty. On the next my visit to Key West I will definitely stay here again. August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Loved this hotel! This hotel was very nice. It was across the street from the beach. The staff was very helpful, they helped us set up dinner reservations and gave us advice on what to do. The suite was fanatastic. We will be back. June 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by cindy0518 Hotel on beach One of the few hotels in KW right on the beach which is lovely. Huge rooms, very comfortable. The only downside to staying here is that there are no other restaurants within walking distance and it is too far to walk to town. We had planned on using the shuttle they provide to the center of town but it turns out that it only takes 12 people an hour and the hotel has lots more people than that so it is virtually impossible to get a shuttle. The upside is you can share a cab with the dozens of other upset guests. You really either need a car or plan on lots of cabs. March 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Naia2628 Nice family hotel Hotel exceeded my expectations. Restaurant was ok but needs some some attention to detail. Waiter at dinner time was excellent, but my chicken was under cook and during breakfast our table was taken by someone else, hostess did not rush a table, no apology, table was not set with silverware or placemats.Smoothies, Popsicles at the pool were great. shuttle service was very convenient. August 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DizzleD Friendly Front Desk/Bar Staff Had a great stay at the Sheraton. Front Desk staff was friendly and helpful. Bartender (she was there most afternoons/evening) at the Tiki Bar was friendly and did a great job of making everyone feel at home! The room was great! Clean and spacious! Always love the comfy beds! Was surprised by housekeeping and the fact that they waited until late in the day (3-4pm) to clean our room (245) most every day. One would think they would clean earlier in the day knowing people would be back in their rooms after 4pm to ready for a night out on Duval Street. February 19, 2012

Are you ready for Festivus? Festivus, which is celebrated on Dec. 23, was established as an alternative holiday free of the commercialism and pressure of Christmas.
According to the Happy Festivus website, there are several key components to a successful Festivus celebration:
1. An aluminum pole - the unadorned pole is used in place of a highly decorated and lit Christmas tree, which, as the website explains, "is in direct contrast to normal holiday materialism."
2. The Airing of the Grievances - Though many Christmas celebrations include this, Festivus makes it official by setting aside a time to let family members know how much they have disappointed you during the past year.
3. Festivus Dinner - In keeping with the depiction of the Festivus dinner aired on "Seinfeld," the dinner should consist of meat loaf, spaghetti or any other dish in red sauce.
4. The Feats of Stength - The head of the household must be wrestled to the floor and pinned to conclude the Festivus celebrations.
Though most people are aware of Festivus due to a 1997 episode of "Seinfeld," the holiday was reportedly conceived in 1966 by the family of "Seinfeld" screenwriter Daniel O'Keefe.
Now Festivus has become an accepted part of popular culture. The holiday has its own Facebook page, "I celebrate Festivus." Festivus "celebrations" frequently make the news such as in the case of the Florida atheist who erected a Festivus pole to protest a nativity scene in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Even Google has acknowledged Festivus with an "Easter Egg" featuring a Festivus pole.
Ironically, Festivus merchandise is also widely available. Items available for purchase include Festivus t-shirts and cards, Festivus coffee mugs and even a desktop Festivus pole.
Do you have a Festivus pole? Do you plan on participating in the Airing of the Grievances or any of the other Festivus traditions? Let us know in the comments.

Love of Christ and music sent a Minden resident, Bill Ichter, and his son, Carlos, to Aracaju, Sergipe Brazil recently.
The father and son were invited by the Brazilian Baptist Church Music Conference in celebration of 30 years of the organization.
As a founding member of the music department in Brazil for 25 years, Bill Ichter's love of Brazil is ingrained and integrated in him and his family.
"It was an outgrowth of the work that the Lord permitted me to start in Brazil by starting a church music department," Ichter said.
"When working the last 10 years, I worked for the Brazilian Foreign Mission Board," he continued. "I had a weekly column of music in the Brazilian Baptist Weekly. All through those times, I remember saying, Philippines 4:13, 'I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.' Without Him, I wouldn't have gotten anything. The Lord has been good to me."
Ichter felt honored to be invited to give a 40-minute speech on "Worship from Generation to Generation" and a 50-minute interview to a congregation of more than 3,000 people.
"Brazilian Baptists make up a million and a half of the population, about two percent," Ichter said.
Ichter's son, Carlos, former head of the music department for Arkansas Baptist and former Minister of Music at First Baptist Church in New Orleans, was invited to lead the conference choir.
"He had four choir sessions to prepare five songs for a concert in the convention center on Saturday night," Ichter said. "And I led a stanza of one of Brazil's best loved hymns, 'My Country for Christ.'
"At 87 years of age, I thank God that He gave me the privilege of coming back and seeing the progress of the work in Brazil and the progress of the music work," he said. "That God loved me to have a part of it, to which I felt I had no qualifications."
Ichter continued, "It's a beautiful country. The people are so loving and warm."
Ichter, along with his wife and two children, went to Brazil in 1956. He had two children born in Brazil and now he has two Brazilian daughter-in-laws, three grandsons born in Brazil, a grandson born in Korea, a granddaughter born in Germany and two great-grandchildren born in Kenya.
"Two of our grandchildren are missionaries and our daughter has been a missionary in Brazil for 29 years," Ichter said.
According to online sources, Brazil is Latin America's largest country, and the world's fifth largest country, covering half of South America's territory.
Aracaju was founded in 1855 and is the capital city of Sergipe. Sergipe is the smallest state in Brazil. It is found in the Northwestern portion of Brazil.
The economy in Aracaju is stimulated by recent tourism, oil wealth and sugar cane cultivation.
The Federative Republic of Brazil is a union of 26 estados (states) and one district, the Distrito Federal (Federal District) which contains the capital city, Brasilia.
Portuguese is the main language spoken with English and Spanish being taught in high school. Freedom of religion was introduced in 1824.

Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? If not, then you'll be spending a lot of time at the mall. But which valley mall is the safest?
"It's the most wonderful time of the year..."
It's not so wonderful if you're the victim of a crime.
"There are people there that will prey on innocent victims," said Tempe Police Sgt. Mike Pooley.
At valley malls, you'll find the naughty and the not so nice.
'He knows exactly what he wants. He knows exactly what he's going to do," said Pooley.
We wanted to know how much crime there really is at four of the valley's biggest malls.
We requested calls for service at Scottsdale Fashion Square, Metrocenter, Paradise Valley and Arizona Mills malls. They show thousands of calls in the last 13 months.
It's important to point out that calls for service mean only that police responded to a complaint. We don't know how many arrests were made, if any, or if it was a false alarm.
But we found robbery calls, indecent exposure, sex abuse, and aggravated assaults -- all reported at the mall and provided by police.
To our surprise: Arizona Mills in Tempe had the most calls and the most serious types of calls. Metrocenter in Phoenix had the least.
The most calls by far were for shoplifting. Take a look at the surveillance video which shows dozens of people stealing from department stores -- mothers even stealing -- as they walk around with their kids.
Arizona Mills had the most shoplifting calls: 183 in 13 months -- about one police call every two days. Paradise Valley Mall came in second, Scottsdale Fashion Square third, Metrocenter had the fewest shoplifting calls 35 -- in 13-months or one every 12 days. Tempe Police are working crack down on shoplifting at Arizona Mills.
They gave us video of a serial shoplifter they're trying to catch. "..gets all the perfume, cologne that he needs within a matter of seconds," said Pooley.
Shoplifters aren't the only ones who use the mall to break the law. Sometimes flashers also go to the mall to expose themselves to innocent victims.
Metrocenter had three indecent exposure calls. Paradise Valley, Arizona Mills, and Scottsdale Fashion Square had two each.
The good news is no sexual assaults reported in 13 months at the four valley malls.
But there were 16 assaults or physical attacks at Arizona Mills, 12 at Metrocenter, 10 at Scottsdale Fashion Square; only six at Paradise Valley Mall.
As for robberies and thefts, robbery involves using force to steal something from someone.
There were three robbery calls at Arizona Mills and Metrocenter, two robbery calls at Paradise Valley Mall and Scottsdale Fashion Square.
Theft may include things like breaking into a person's car to steal their purse or taking off with a shopping bag that's been left behind.
240 thefts calls at Arizona Mills, followed by 50 theft calls at Paradise Valley Mall, 49 at Scottsdale Fashion Square and 41 at Metrocenter.
"The perceptions of the late 80s and 90s and the crime issues that were there you wont be able to find those kind of issues right now," said Phoenix Police Lt. Ben Leuschner.
Increased police presence and the mall's state of the art camera system helped them achieve their goal.
"He knows when you've been sleeping... he's knows when you're awake..."
The resolution is actually high enough to pick up license plates and that's recorded 24/7.. when we do have a crime on the property, it's very easy for us to follow up right away," said Leuschner.
Tempe Police are also working to reduce crime at Arizona Mills. Police say crime numbers are higher at Mills because of its location. The mall sits right off of Interstate 10, and the U.S. 60 -- bordering south Phoenix, Tempe, and Guadalupe. It makes for an easy getaway. In minutes, a criminal can be in a different jurisdiction making them harder to catch.
"Seven days a week, they split the shifts and they are there constantly," said Pooley.
And no matter what mall you go to this holiday season, chances are you'll see officers or security guards walking around. Police say our malls here in the valley are pretty safe. The number of crimes reported are low compared to the tens of thousands of people who go in and out of the mall everyday.
We asked all four malls for comment, only one mall representative did respond -- but we have not received a written statement they said they would provide.

Bonny Anne Cooner, 33, was last seen on Jan. 28.GBI investigators said they believe that Cooner has likely not vanished by her own free will. They say that Cooner's fiancé and her son were the last people to see her.The GBI said on Friday that they've done interviews with the people closest to Cooner and they've examined her computer and cell phone as well as her financial records. They hope that evidence will lead to Cooner and the people responsible for her disappearance.Missing posters are plastered all over town as concern grows for the missing mother. "No matter where you go, people are talking about it. This is a fairly tight knit community and things like this just don't happen around here," said Freddy Akins, a resident.Cooner's fiancée told FOX 5's Chris Shaw on Friday that he is very concerned about where she could be right now. He is concerned about these developments that the GBI have announced. He said in the last couple of days before she disappeared, she wasn't acting herself. Detectives said they believe they are close to finding out what happened to Cooner.

More controversy brews over Jay Chou's new movie
Taiwanese multihyphenate Jay Chou's second self-directed movie, Rooftop, has again stirred controversy over the NT$12 million (S$500,000) grant that the film received from Taiwan's Ministry of Culture.
With an income worth NT$570 million (S$23.99 million) this year, on top of his immense popularity in Taiwan and China, it is believed that obtaining sponsorships would not be too difficult for the superstar. The 33-year-old was berated for 'fighting' over the government subsidy with other Taiwanese film producers who need the grant more than him.
Sources revealed that production costs amount to NT$200 million (S$8.4 million) in total. The film's publicist said in response, "Jay did not fund the production, as Rooftop was an investment from several parties. We've gotten the grant and we'll pay our dues through marketing methods when the film premieres."
The eligibility of the grant has also been questioned, as the film is a Taiwan-China co-production. Mr. Zhu Wen Qing, Chief of Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development explained, "Currently a co-production is valid for grant application as long as the director and more than half the main cast are of Taiwanese nationality, and as long as more than one-third of the filming is done in Taiwan, the film is considered as a local production."
Since filming began in July, the movie has been plagued by controversies. It was reported that visitors to the Hutoupi Scenic Area in Tainan were stopped from entering the tourist spot when the crew was there for filming.
Subsequently, an old street in Siluo Town of Yunlin County was closed again for filming reasons on a holiday, incurring wrath from the public. During filming, production crew were also said to be threatened with expulsion should they reveal details of the movie online.

COLVILLE, Wash. -- One student was caught with a knife, gun and ammunition in his backpack on Thursday according to Colville School District employees. District leaders confirmed that the Fort Colville Elementary School student and a friend admitted to wanting to hurt as many as seven students.
Both 5th grade students were expelled and were taken into police custody, said Superintendent Michael Cashion.
He credits another student for warning school staff. The boy spotted a knife in another student's backpack and notified staff at Fort Colville according to Cashion. School administrators searched the backpack. Cashion said they found a knife, gun and ammunition. However, Cashion added that the gun was not loaded.
The student admitted that he and friend planned to hurt his girlfriend. Both students were then questioned according to Cashion. Both students then confessed to wanting to hurt other students as well.
Parents told KREM 2 News that the incident was a tough way to start their morning.
"I'm relieved it didn't turn into one of those school shootings with other people," said Staci Miranda.
Miranda and other parents rushed to the school to make sure their children were okay.
"Enough is enough, "said John Sattler. "We have to take precautions to protect kids."
District leaders could not confirm how the students obtained the weapons. Police are working to track the gun through registration.
The Stevens Co. prosectuor says children of this age are usually too young to face charges, but they are still looking into the possibility because of the severity of the allegations.

Art History, Conservation, and Museums
Program Staff
Mariët Westermann, Vice President
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation program for art museums is designed to help excellent institutions build and sustain their capacity to undertake serious scholarship on their permanent collections; to preserve these collections; and to share the results of their work in appropriate ways with scholarly and other audiences. The art conservation program concentrates largely on advanced training for future generations of conservators, but it also undergirds fundamental work in developing fields such as photograph conservation and conservation science – areas of increasing importance to conservation as a whole. Both programs, therefore, are engaged in supporting basic research intended to enable curators, conservators, and other professionals to devote intensive study to the objects in their care, and to make their knowledge and professional expertise available to others in new as well as in more traditional ways.
Current Programs
Current areas of particular focus in the museum program include:
Program Contact Information
In general, the Foundation's museums and art conservation programs develop out of studies conducted by members of our staff and become part of programmatic initiatives, which then result in invitations to specific institutions to participate.
Letters of inquiry regarding programs that fall within the above-described areas of focus are welcome and are reviewed throughout the year. However, the Foundation is rarely able to respond positively to unsolicited proposals and is not in a position to respond to inquiries from institutions based outside the United States. The Foundation does not support individuals, capital and building campaigns, arts education, loan exhibitions and associated catalogues, or conservation treatments.
Before writing, please review the Foundation's general requirements for grant proposals in the Grant Inquiries section of this Web site.

Samsung's recent New York launch event saw the unveiling of the Galaxy S4 with all the pomp and ceremony that went along with a first look at what will likely be one of the best selling handsets of 2013.
As well as the handset itself Samsung unveiled a few other gadgets about which it said very little. One of these, a wireless charging unit, sees the Korean firm leaning towards the territory Nokia has been exploring with some of its recent Lumia devices.
Another, more unusual device connects to a Galaxy S4 (or one of a number of other Samsung handsets) to turn it into a handheld games console. It's this particular innovation which has garnered some chatter and speculation from the tech community, with many wondering what it might point towards in the future.
Known as the Game Pad, the device looks very much like a controller for an Xbox 360 and has a white plastic casing which will be familiar to users of Microsoft's game console and Samsung smartphone fans alike.
The major difference that sets the Game Pad apart from a console controller is the extendable clip at its top which holds a handset in place in landscape mode, with the two devices then forming one handheld gaming unit.
A handset can also be linked to a television via HDMI with the Game Pad acting as a remote controller for whatever is displayed on screen. In either case, Bluetooth is the technology which links the phone to the pad, meaning that ugly cables or docking ports are conspicuous by their absence.
The Game Pad's unveiling came with the announcement that it will be bundled with eight free games with up to eighty other Android games being compatible, although no actual titles have been announced as of yet.
While Samsung doesn't appear to be putting much focus in to this peripheral device, we wonder if the Game Pad could be indicative of the rise in significance of mobiles in the gaming world. Will devices such as this further eat into the market share of dedicated handheld games consoles such as the Wii U and PS Vita?
Figures from industry research firm IDC reveal that in the fourth quarter of 2012 spending on games from Apple's App Store and Google Play exceeded that on software for handheld consoles. Games such as Real Racing 3 offer levels of performance that major consoles do but on a much smaller scale and also work on freemium models that make the initial downloading of the app far less expensive than purchasing a game for a handheld.
The ubiquity of smartphones doesn't bode well for handheld games consoles either. Why would someone pay hundreds of pounds for a separate gaming device when they can play games that are just as good on the phone they already have?
Particularly interesting about the unveiling of the Game Pad is a fact hidden within the specs of the device, listed on Samsung's Galaxy S4 microsite. Details list the device as being compatible with handsets between 4-6.3-inches in size, the uppermost dimensions being far bigger than any Samsung smartphone currently on the market.
This has led to speculation that the Game Pad may be the first hint that the Korean firm's next phablet device (let's calls it the Galaxy Note 3 for now) will be even larger than the 5.5-inch display toting Galaxy Note II.
Samsung could literally expand its range and push its smartphones further towards tablet territory and if the Game Pad is an indicator of this tactic, then the Note 3 could prove to be an enormous handset when it emerges.
So the Game Pad is an interesting device in its own right, standing as an example of how smartphones are being taken seriously in the gaming world and offering stiff competition for some established manufactures such as Nintendo. But it could also point towards some sizeable developments from Samsung, in every sense of the word, which will see handsets grow even larger in the future.
