1. Museum -- Field Museum
   The Field Museum of Chicago, Illinois,USA has decided for various reasons to "re-name" Sue the T-rex. Children everywhere have come to know and love this dinosaur by the name "Sue," and such a radical step is certainly worthy of examination.
2. Museum -- Art Museum
   The Asian Art Museum is a public institution whose mission is to lead a diverse global audience in discovering the unique material, aesthetic, and intellectual achievements of Asian art and culture. Holding nearly 17,000 Asian art treasures spanning 6,000 years of history, the museum is one of the largest museums in the Western world devoted exclusively to Asian art. Once located in Golden Gate Park, the museum now resides at its new, expanded facility at Civic Center Plaza. An architectural gem featuring a dynamic blend of beaux arts and modern design elements, the museum's new home is the result of a dramatic transformation of San Francisco's former main library building by renowned architect Gae Aulenti (designer of Paris's Musee d'Orsay) into a showcase for the museum's acclaimed collection and exhibitions.

4. Sally Field -- Sally Fields
   [The Oregonian] ran a story that proclaimed that "Actress Sally Field joins the women who are fighting osteoporosis with medicine, supplements and exercise." Not surprisingly, there was an overt plug for a drug: "Field chose to take Boniva, a once-a-month medication from Roche Therapeutics." And the paper let her get away with this: "I feel it's kind of a miracle."
5. Field of Dreams
   SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations (Maryland Nonprofits) released a research report, Field of Dreams, which details the likelihood of survival and growth of nonprofit organizations in Maryland. The report examines the makeup of the sector by revenue size, organizational growth, and the effect of Maryland Nonprofits as a capacity building organization on member organizations within the sector. The research report is based on IRS financial data consisting of 11,938 nonprofit organizations from 1995-2005. The key finding exposed by the analysis was that in the nonprofit sector, organizational growth is mostly from mid- to large- sized organizations. Smaller nonprofits that might be expected to show growth are struggling to survive. These findings are even more striking because the nonprofit sector represents nearly 11% of the overall work force in the State of Maryland.
6. Frederick Field
   Frederick Field's marvelous late Victorian edition of the remains of this work is now outdated. Field rearranged earlier collections, and added new material, notably retroversions into Greek from Syriac sources. In the course of the work on the Septuagint editions, new manuscripts and patristic sources have become available, as well as new editions of several Church Fathers and catenae. Some of these contain better readings and even previously unknown material from Origen's Hexapla.
7. King Tut -- Museums
   The King Tut exhibition has drawn millions of visitors to museums across the country since it opened two years ago.

The debate over Tut's race led the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, where the show is on display, to sponsor a conference on the subject.
8. London -- British Museum

This square is a modest version of the great ceremonial squares of Europe, and was built in dedication to British naval commander Viscount Horatio Nelson, whose monument is at the square’s center. It has long been a popular site for large-scale political demonstrations. Some significant buildings, such as the National Gallery, are on the square. On the northeast corner is Saint Martin-in-the-Fields, the classical-style church designed by James Gibbs in the 1720s.
