You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Partial Sun, Partial Shade Part sun or part shade plants prefer light that is filtered. Sunlight, though not direct, is important to them. Often morning sun, because it is
not as strong as afternoon sun, can be considered part sun or part shade. If you live in an area that does not get much intense sun, such as the Pacific Northwest, a full sun exposure may be fine. In other areas such as Florida,
plant in a location where afternoon shade will be received. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it! Conditions : Types of Pruning Types of pruning include: pinching, thinning, shearing and rejuvenating.
Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look. Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged. Conditions : Full Sun Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day.
* The key to watering is water deeply and less frequently. When watering, water
well, i.e. provide enough water to thoroughly saturate the root ball. With
in-ground plants, this means thoroughly soaking the soil until water has
penetrated to a depth of 6 to 7 inches (1' being better). With container grown plants, apply enough water to allow water to flow through the drainage holes.
* Try to water plants early in the day or later in the afternoon to conserve
water and cut down on plant stress. Do water early enough so that water has
had a chance to dry from plant leaves prior to night fall. This is paramount
if you have had fungus problems.
* Don't wait to water until plants wilt. Although some plants will recover from this,
all plants will die if they wilt too much (when they reach the permanent
wilting point).
* Consider water conservation methods such as drip irrigation, mulching, and
xeriscaping. Drip systems which slowly drip moisture directly on the root
system can be purchased at your local home and garden center. Mulches can significantly cool the root zone
and conserve moisture.
* Consider adding water-saving gels to the root zone which will hold a reserve
of water for the plant. These can make a world of difference especially under
stressful conditions. Be certain to follow label directions for their use.
Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that
require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or
crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning
(encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words,
flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after
flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the
ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous
year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove
1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Planting Shrubs Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the
same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider
and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil
Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well.
Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well. How-to : Pruning Flowering Hedges Careful selection, planting and initial pruning is critical for a uniform formal or informal hedge. The safest time to prune most flowering hedges is immediately after flowering. This way you do not prune away newly forming buds if you wait until later in the year. Initially, cut back leaders and laterals by one third to one half on planting. In second season, once flowering is complete, cut back again by about one-third.
A hedge can provide privacy and shelter from wind. Hedges should be sloped at a gentle angle, wider at the base, to deflect wind and avoid snow damage. Stretch a line between two stakes for a level top. Cut a template from heavy cardboard for a consistent shape and move it along the hedge as you cut. Shears or an electric trimmer should be held parallel to the line of the hedge. How-to : Making a Hedge Hedges can be trained to be informal with only occasional shaping or to have a more formal shape with judicious pruning.
Shear off the tops 2 to 6 inches several times during the first two seasons. Shearing of the tops and sides will promote branching. A common mistake people make is to cut the sides at a 90 degree angle. In this case the top growth shades the bottom resulting in a leggy open canopy. It is best to cut the sides at an angle so that they flare out at the bottom. This will ensure healthy and compact growth all the way down to the bottom of the shrub.
Rhizoctonia is a fungus that is found in most soils and enters the plant
through the roots or the stem at soil level.
Prevention and Control: First of all, do not overwater and if you suspect
Rhizoctonia may be your problem, decrease watering. If a plant is too far gone
(all the leaves from the bottom up are wilted), remove it. If your plant is in a container, discard the soil too.
Wash the pot with a 1 part bleach to 9 parts water solution.
Fungicides can be used, according to label directions. Consult a professional for a legal recommendation of what fungicide to use.
Pest : Mealybugs Small, wingless, dull-white, soft-bodied insects that produce a waxy powdery covering. They have piercing/sucking mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Mealybugs often look like small pieces of cotton and they tend to congregate where leaves and stems branch. They attack a wide range of plants. The young tend to move around until they find a suitable feeding spot, then they hang out in colonies and feed. Mealybugs can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Isolate infested plants from those that are not. Consult your local garden center professional or the Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal insecticide/chemical recommendation. Encourage natural enemies such as lady beetles in the garden to help reduce population levels of mealy bugs. Fungi : Powdery Mildew Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy. Diseases : Pythium and Phytophtora Root Rot Rot Rot, Pythium or Phytophthora occurs when soil
moisture levels are excessively high and fungal spores present in the soil, come
in contact with the susceptible plant. The base of stems discolor and shrink,
and leaves further up the stalk wilt and die. Leaves near base are affected
first. The roots will turn black and rot or break. This fungi can be introduced
by using unsterilized soil mix or contaminated water.
Prevention and Control Remove affected plants and their roots, and discard surrounding soil. Replace with plants that are not susceptible, and only use fresh, sterilized soil mix. Hold back on fertilizing too. Try not to
over water plants and make sure that soil is well drained prior to planting.
This fungus is not treatable by chemicals.
Rhizoctonia Root and Stem Rot symptoms look similar to Pythium Root Rot, but the Rhizoctonia fungus seems to thrive in well drained soils. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Fungi : Black Spot A known rose disease, Black Spot appears on young leaves as irregular
black circles, often having a yellow halo. Circles or spore colonies may grow
to 1/2 inch in diameter. Leaves will turn yellow and drop off, only to produce
more leaves that will follow the same pattern. Roses may not make it through
the winter if black spot is severe. The fungus will also affect the size and
quality of flowers.
Prevention and Control:Plant resistant varieties for your area. Always water from the ground, never overhead. Practice good sanitation - clean up and destroy debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. When pruning roses, even deadheading, dip pruners in a bleach / water solution after each cut. If a plant seems to have chronic black spot, remove it. A 2-3 inch thick layer of mulch at the base of plant reduces splashing. Do not wait until black spot is a huge problem to control! Start early. Spray with a fungicide labeled for black spot on roses. Pest : Leaf Miners Leaf Miner is actually a term that applies to various larvae (of moths, beetles, and flies) that tunnel between upper and lower leaf surfaces, leaving a distinctive, squiggly pattern. A female adult can lay several hundred eggs inside the leaf which hatch and give rise to miners. Leaf miners attack ornamentals and vegetables.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and scout individual plants for tell-tale squiggles. Pick and destroy these leaves and take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps. Know the Growing Degree Days (GDD)* for your area to target insecticide sprays when most beneficial for controlling the specific leaf miner. Seek a professional recommendation and follow all label procedures to a tee. *GDD numbers should be available from your local Cooperative Extension office. Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden. Diseases : Southern Blight Plants with Southern blight have lesions on the stem at, or near, the soil line.
These lesions develop rapidly, girdling the stem and resulting in a sudden and
permanent wilting of the plant. High temperatures (above 85 degrees F, 29 degrees C) favor the disease. The fungus attacks a wide range of plants and survives for long periods in soil. To control, treat with a recommended fungicide according to label directions. Fungi : Sooty Mold Sooty mold is a fungus that is found on the surface of leaves. It feeds on honeydew excreted from aphids, mealy bugs, scale, or ants. Though not serious, it is unattractive when it covers/blackens the leaves and stems of the plant. The best way to control sooty mold is to control the insects that make the honeydew. Sooty mold can usually be wiped from leaves with a damp cloth or washed away with a hose-end sprayer. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control. Fungi : Downy Mildew Downy Mildew, a fluffy white fungal growth that develops on the underside
of leaves, is most common during cool, humid conditions. Foliage often discolors
and is stunted.
Prevention and Control: Use disease free plants and space far enough
apart so that air circulation is good. Remove and discard infected leaves or even
entire plants. Use a recommended fungicide and always follow the directions on the label.
You will often
hear loam referred to as a sandy loam (having more sand, yet still plenty of
organic matter) or a clay loam (heavier on the clay, yet workable with good
drainage.) The addition of organic matter to either sand or clay will result
in a loamy soil. Still not sure if your soil is a sand, clay, or loam? Try
this simple test. Squeeze a handfull of slightly moist, not wet, soil in your
hand. If it forms a tight ball and does not fall apart when gently tapped
with a finger, your soil is more than likely clay. If soil does not form a
ball or crumbles before it is tapped, it is sand to very sandy loam. If soil forms a
ball, then crumbles readily when lightly tapped, it's a loam. Several quick, light
taps could mean a clay loam. Glossary : Topiary A topiary is a plant that has been pruned and trained to have an
artificial form. Popular since Roman times, topiary was a way of
introducing architectural and animal forms to the garden. Simple, geometric
shapes make up the classic topiary form. This time- consuming process can be minimized by training vines to grow around or in a wire or moss form.
To protect your topiary from heavy snows, netting placed over plant will add
extra support. To mend broken branches, selectivly prune away damage and tie
an existing branch into position to fill gap. If this is not possible, patience
is your next bet. To restore unkempt topiaries, severly prune to rejuvenate
original form the first spring, then follow up with several seasons of judicious
clipping. Glossary : Tolerant Tolerant refers to a plant's ability to tolerate exposure to an external condition(s). It does not mean that the plant thrives or prefers this situation, but is able to adapt and continue its life cycle. Glossary : Pruning Now is the preferred time to prune this plant.

Mathematics Illuminated "Connecting with Networks" Connections can be physical, as with bridges, or immaterial, as with friendships. Both types of connections can be understood using the same mathematical framework called network theory, or graph theory, which is a way to abstract and quantify the notion of connectivity. This unit looks at how this branch of mathematics provides insights into extremely complicated networks such as ecosystems. D

Mathematics Illuminated "In Sync" Systems of synchronization occur throughout the animate and inanimate world. The regular beating of the human heart, the swaying and near collapse of the Millennium Bridge, the simultaneous flashing of gangs of fireflies in Southeast Asia: these varied phenomena all share the property of spontaneous synchronization. This unit shows how synchronization can be analyzed, studied, and modeled via the mathematics of differential equations, an outgrowth of calculus, and the application of these ideas toward understanding the workings of the heart.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Yahoo�s decision earlier this month to bring the company�s remote workers back to the office sparked a national conversation about the practice, one that is on the rise and could have an economic impact on rural areas.
The number of people who work remotely increased 73 percent from 2005 to 2011, according to Telework Research Network, an employment research firm.
Rural communities and vacation areas are recruiting more telecommuters so they have people year-round to boost the local economy, said Kate Lister, co-founder of Global Workplace Analytics, which collects data for the research network.
The rise in telecommuters is changing how communities recruit businesses because they are recruiting individuals, said Roger Zalneraitis, executive director of the La Plata County Economic Development Alliance.
�It�s opened the potential for people coming here,� he said. �We�re not selling to a company ... we�re selling a place to live.�
Hiring telecommuters also helps the local real estate market because there is limited space for companies to build their headquarters, he said.
About 63 percent of employers surveyed in a Families and Work Institute study reported allowing at least some employees to work from home on an occasional basis, up from 34 percent in a similar study done in 2005, according to an Associated Press article.
Even more people want the option of working from home at least on a part-time basis.
Eighty percent of workers want the option, and workers with more flexibility are more loyal to their employers, Lister said.
�They�re less stressed, less inclined to quit and more highly engaged,� she said. �They�re sick less often because they are less exposed to sick people.�
A company can save $10,000 to $13,000 a year on one employee that telecommutes part-time because of his or her increased productivity and decreased absenteeism, she said.
Having a staff of teleworkers severely decreases a startup�s expenses. The company doesn�t have to pay for desks, a building or any of the various costs associated with the infrastructure, said Walker Thompson, vice president of sales and marketing for WhenToManage Restaurant Solutions, who telecommutes from his home office in Durango.
Thompson said the hardest part of telecommuting is maintaining connections among employees.
�The emotional contact I need to thrive can be overlooked. High performers will bail if they don�t have that contact,� he said. �One of the challenges as a leader is understanding what an employee needs and then actually doing it.�
He uses Google Hangout � an Internet service that allows real-time chats, face-to-face meetings and the like � to connect with employees and he uses Google documents so the entire team can share a document and add to it. It creates a collaborative atmosphere even though they�re not in the same office, he said.
While telecommuters have the benefit of working from home, it can be harder to stop working at the end of the day and return to normal life.
�The physical departure has an emotional thread. You can cut the thread a little bit if you are physically leaving,� Thompson said.
That is part of the benefit of working in Durango Space, said co-founder Jasper Welch. When the day is done, the employees walk out of the office, and the space gives them another place to connect.
But experts acknowledge telecommuting isn�t for everybody.
�When one person isn�t in the office every day, it�s harder to communicate,� said Shane Larson, a software engineer for MarkIt on Demand who telecommutes from Mancos. �You need someone who is a self-starter, who doesn�t need constant supervision and management.�

According to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times, Danny Granger will miss Saturday's matchup against the Houston Rockets.
Danny Granger won't play Saturday at Houston because of a strained left hamstring, per Clippers.
- Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) March 28, 2014
In last night's victory over the Dallas Mavericks, Granger left the game early in the fourth quarter with what was later diagnosed as a sore left hamstring. While he was labeled questionable, he never returned to the floor finishing with 2 points in 10 minutes of play.
Doc says Danny Granger (left hamstring strain) was sent back to LA for treatment. He will not play for remainder of road trip.
- Los Angeles Clippers (@LAClippers) March 29, 2014
http://fullyclips.com/2014/03/28/danny- ... s-rockets/
Hearing he won't play at all on trip and was sent home for treatment
Sorry didn't see that bottom sentence
This is upsetting, he needs to play more to get a hang of the defense and continue to get his instinctive offense to 100%.
He played pretty poorly in New Orleans recently. Still a beast though, sky is the limit with Granger on our roster.
this sux. I want him to start.
When i first saw this i thought it was the whole season. 3 games isn't bad at all so hey...
Get well soon, Danny. Clippers need you 100% healthy for the playoffs.
will Danny return to the court?
Any news on DG?
^^I heard on the broadcast that he is trying to be ready for the playoffs, so it seems likely that he won't play in the final regular season games. Jamal is on the same boat I believe.
Ultimately, you want your Big Three healthy. That is 85% of the ball game. Other teams will have injuries, too. Luckily, JJ is back and if Jamaal Crawford is healthy, I think Doc can live without the luxury of Granger. I would make this deal right now: Everyone 100% healthy and Granger unavailable until the second series.
I reckon we would all make that deal cos 100% healthy is actually unrealistic. Professional sports people particularly NBA players are always going to have some niggles at least after a long season.
I hope all of them can play together in our last two games as warm up before the first game of the playoff so they can still adjust to each others game.
How did he strain his hamstring anyway?
Wonder if Barnes needs rest as well has been grabbing his hamstring often.
The one I worry most about is BG. I think he is hurting but doesn't want to appear "soft" by sitting out. We NEED him to be healthy in playoffs.
Pop is famous (or notorious) for resting his stars at season's end. He got in trouble but he's won rings. Play our bench a lot. I wonder if an injury is hurting BG's shot. You can't go from superb to sucking that fast (of course you can but that sounded good). I'd definitely rest Jamal till 100%.
Does anyone have an update on Danny? Is he expected to be able to play in the playoffs?
I think that's why Doc is overly cautious with him. He's saving him for the playoff
His elbow is big again, he should drain it Again... or at least that's what I saw, anyone else see that big ball in his elbow?
Isn't a little late for Granger to be used during the playoffs? It is one thing to participate in practice and attend team meetings. It's another to play in game and work well with your teammates. At this point, I think Granger would cause more harm than help if he played in the playoffs.
We could at least use him sparingly to D up some of the tougher small forwards we're bound to see. Hope he heals up in time.
Are we going to see DG in the PO's?
double post
He's a tremendous weapon. Of course we are using him
http://www.ehow.com/about_5063465_long- ... -last.html
hamstring injuries.... I don't think Granger got surgury so it shouldn't be 3 months.. they say 1 month for a bad tear.. How long has Granger been out?
Original post said "strain"... That should be 2-3 days rest.. is it really a strain or a tear? Interesting..
There is strain, Pull, and Tear.... If it is indeed a pull
Hamstring Strain
This is the least severe of all the hamstring injuries. A strained hamstring usually occurs when you are using that muscle more often than usual. For example, you may have mowed your lawn for the first time during the season when the grass is somewhat overgrown. Pushing that lawn mower has put a strain on your hamstring and you feel a twinge or a slight burning sensation. Stop what you're doing and ice your hamstring to reduce the swelling and discomfort. A hamstring strain probably calls for a day or two of rest, followed by an elastic bandage wrap before resuming activity.

Danny said: "he'll practice and be ready for the playoffs and that he's been running at a 100 percent and could have played Wednesday.
Good to hear! Turk, Dudley, and Granger are vital when the warriors decide to play small ball.
Seems like it would be the first time all year that we have completely healthy roster. Good timing!
Only thing I worry about is the chemistry. Aside from that, I'm excited that them team is fully healthy. #fullsquad lmao
Me too but the first round matchup should give our team time to jell. The Warriors don't worry me especially with no Bogut.
Good news!
Doc Said last week he would hold him out for the rest of the year so he could be ready for the playoffs. I don't know about you guy's but I think Doc has done a masterful job of managing minutes and getting everybody healthy to start the playoff..... I applaud him. I hopefully there's no rust with Danny and Jamal and J.J and CP3 can stay on Rythem, I want a sweep, I'm tired of those Talkers. Great News!!!
Clippers will need Granger for defense more than anything.
That reach he has poses problems for other players. Also, his shooting looked great last night and he was a catalyst for our bench. To this day I was shocked that the Pacers just let him go like they did.
Yeah, and look at the garbaaage team they have become. From the White House to the Out House. Just about.
Sometimes teams make mistakes as to undervaluing a player. The Pacers seemed to have done so with Granger, the Lakers did with Barnes, and to be honest we did with Zach Randolph. It's the nature of the business, but hopefully teams start getting more for their players rather than just letting them go via wavers.
I believe Granger can continue to be a huge impact for us going forward. Hope he comes back next year.
Me too.

Good times for a good cause was the theme of the 11th Annual Smith Group Tax & Wealth Advisors Mardi Gras Party, held in March at Newberry Hall.
The event raised more than $17,000 for the Children's Place Inc. parenting outreach program, "Families Matter."
"We were overwhelmed by the generosity and enthusiasm of our guests," said Pearline Smith, Smith Group Tax & Wealth Advisors co-owner. "How nice that we can have such a good time and raise money for a program that is so valuable to our community."
Last year's event raised $15,000 for the Families Matter program. One reason for the event's fundraising success is because The Smith Group absorbs all event expenses – from the cost of the food and decorations to the band and venue fees.
According to Peggy Ford, Children's Place Inc. director, the Families Matter program was established through a partnership with Growing Home Southeast and the S.C. Department of Social Services, and it's goal is to reach out to struggling families in the Aiken area.
"We are ecstatic that we have been able to serve every family that has been referred to us to date," said Ford. "The funds from this event will ensure we can continue this important work of preventing child abuse and strengthening families in our community."
The event's raffle and silent auction generated more than $4,800 of the funds raised and was due to donations from many local businesses, including Advanced Services for Pest Control, Aiken's Unique Giftique, Andrew Siders, Bronze Body, Cannon House Florist & Gifts, Caroline's Boutique, Carolina Star, Changes Day Spa, Concept HR/Chad Matthews, Discount Beverage Mart LLC, Dunkin Donuts, Floyd & Green Jewelers, Grice's Butcher Shop, HBC Builder's/Jeff Hudson, J.

Q. Name, nickname and tell us briefly about yourself?
My name is Julie and I moved here from Brisbane twelve years ago. I had a very good friend living in Byron Bay, who has now become the Byron Bay citizen of the year! I was looking for a sea change and it turned out to be a hinterland and sea change - Which is really beautiful.
Q. What do you love about working here and how long have you been on the Castle team?
One customer moment that really touched me was when a lady was visiting us and unfortunately her son had just passed away. She really wanted the prayer flags that we had hanging up on display. These flags definitely represented something special for her and she had particularly wanted them. So in the end I decided to give them to her as a gift from the Crystal Castle. The woman was very thankful and it turned out being a special and memorable moment.
Q. What is your favourite dish from the Lotus Cafe?
I really like the pumpkin and chicken salad.
Q. Do you have a favourite statue and why?
Yes, my favourite statue would have to be the enormous Buddha in the Lotus pond. I love it because it is so peaceful and the swaying bamboo back drop makes me feel like I'm in another place, country or just another world.
Q. If you could buy anything from the Castle, what would you buy?
I'm very attracted to the clear quartz generators, especially the Earth Keeper which is in the Gallery surrounded by the beautiful crystal singing bowls. I'm particularly drawn to it for its beautiful rainbows, energy and size.
Q Do you have a special moment or story about a Crystal Castle visitor?
One customer moment that really touched me was, a lady was visiting us and her son had just passed away. She really wanted the prayer flags that we had hanging up on display; she particularly wanted those flags, so I gave them to her as a gift. She was very thankful.
Q. When did you get your first crystal and what was it?
When I first started working here at the Crystal Castle, it was a small clear quartz cluster, a very pretty piece full of rainbows. I still have it and I love it. I am very drawn to clear quartz.

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
The choice of a name for that recently arrived bundle of joy used to be formalistic, with Social Security Administration rolls revealing adherence to the tried and true.
The administration�s list of top baby names from 1912 through 2011 show:
Boys were, in order of popularity, James, John, Robert, Michael, William, David, Richard, Joseph, Charles and Thomas. The next 10 most popular were Christopher, Daniel, Matthew, Donald, Anthony, Paul, Mark George, Steven and Kenneth.
Girl names followed the same pattern: Mary, Patricia, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Linda, Barbara, Susan, Margaret, Dorothy and Jessica. The second tier were Sarah, Betty, Nancy, Karen, Lisa, Helen, Sandra, Donna, Ashley and Kimberly.
But in recent years, parents, including La Plata County couples, are breaking away from traditional tastes.
Cherished family names may honor an earlier generation or keep a present-day name alive.
Bayfield residents Jason and Katelyn Ramey gave daughter Hollander � born Oct. 18 � the maiden name of Katelyn Ramey�s grandmother.
The couple�s son, Henry, is named for Jason Ramey�s great-grandfather.
Sarah and Cordell Brown of Durango named their daughter Macy, which was her maiden name.
�I was Sarah Macy for 36 years,� Brown said. �I didn�t want to lose my maiden name.�
Jennifer Carter, due to give birth to a girl in March, said she and husband, Chuck, are coming up with names independently.
�Then we�ll negotiate,� Carter said. �We won�t decide until she�s born.�
Carter said that in her deliberations, she gives a potential name the Chief Justice test.
�I think about whether Chief Justice of the Supreme Court sounds credible before the name,� Carter said. �I tend to like classic names � names that my grandmother and her friends would have.�
Carter said Jennifer is definitely out of the running.
�My name was the most popular for years,� Carter said. �I wouldn�t inflict that on my child.�
Karen Berger said she and her husband, Curtis, chose Trevor for their 20-month-old son out of a baby-name book.
�We went through the whole book and narrowed the names down to five, then to two � Trevor and Donovan,� Berger said. �When he was born we decided he looked more like a Trevor than a Donovan.�
Chris Musgrave and wife, Kristin, have a 6-week-old son, Levi.
�We were walking one day and started talking about names,� Musgrave said. �We started with Lee, which evolved into Levi.�
Musgrave said he likes names that �go back a little.� He also likes short or one-syllable names, which is why the couple�s 19-month-old son is named Graham.
Births at Mercy Regional Medical Center from January through August 2012 show a similar trend.
The top-name list revealed Jacob (6), Liam and Jackson (5), Wyatt and Joshua (4) and then three each of Levi, Ryder, Carter, Sebastian, David, Oliver, Isaac, Quinn, Jack, Sawyer and Joseph.
Abigail was the most popular girl�s name at Mercy with six, followed by Olivia (4), Alexis, Ava and Alyssa (three each) and two each of Lyra, Emery, Raina, Melanie, Emma, Evelyn and Lillian.
Among other given names of babies born at Mercy are River, Cannon, Shiloh, Rylan, Talon, Kimber, Shialee, Aivhleen, Alaziah, Axton, Cataleya, Masyn, Cerinaty, Clabe, Pepper, Adilyn, Daisy-Grace, Rece, Destaney, Tyderius, Luxe, Paycen, Brolin, Argus, Tylii, Graeme, Awnikah, Lotus, Jase, Quorra, Reminysce, Kaida, Kash and Kooper.
A Nov. 9 story in The New York Times found a link between popular baby names and the names of hurricanes.
Four reporters who crunched data found, for example, that names beginning with �K� increased 9 percent after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and names that start with �A� were up 7 percent after Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Parents didn�t name a child after a particular storm, but apparently were attracted by alliteration, the reporters said.
The similar initial sound of Katrina would increase the likelihood of children being named Kenneth, Kiefer or Kate, and Andrew would produce a bumper crop of Anjanettes, Alfreds and Allisons.
The Social Security list of the nation�s 10 most popular names in 2011 contained not a single girl�s name and only two names of boys from the 100-year list.
Colorado had its own popularity list in 2011. Social Security rolls found the 10 favorite names for girls were:
Olivia, Sophia, Emma, Isabella, Abigail, Ava, Emily, Lily, Elizabeth and Ella.
Topping the list of names for boys were Liam, Mason, Noah, Elijah, William, Alexander, Jacob, Logan, Daniel and Benjamin.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville Athletics Department will be hosting Anucha Browne, NCAA Vice President of Women's Basketball Championships on Wednesday.
Anucha's role at the NCAA is to set the strategic direction for, and oversee the operation and management of, the Division I, II and III women's basketball championships. Before joining the NCAA staff, Anucha was the University of Buffalo senior associate athletic director and senior woman administrator, where she supervised men's and women's basketball, volleyball, softball, swimming, diving and rowing. She was also responsible for marketing and ticket sales efforts, corporate partnerships, community relations, event presentation and operations for revenue sports. Prior to her service at Buffalo, Browne was the senior vice president of marketing and business operations for the NBA's New York Knicks.
The NCAA has recently completed a study describing the state of NCAA Division I women's basketball that includes recommendations and action steps that can be taken by the NCAA, conferences, institutions, and other key stakeholders to better position the sport for continued growth in the future. The Big South Conference (BSC) is presently working on a strategic plan to improve both men's and women's basketball. UNC Asheville is also pleased to host Kyle Kallendar, Commissioner and Dawn Turner, Associate Commissioner of the BSC. In addition, the BSC Athletic Directors and Women's Basketball Coaches will be on hand for a women's basketball strategic planning workshop in conjunction with Anucha's visit.

So far pretty much all I have written about George Thomas GASSON concerns his time at the asylum and his mental illness. I wouldn't want you to think that George Thomas GASSON was just a lunatic, he was a normal son, brother, husband and father for a large part of his life. So to put my previous posts in some perspective here is a summary of what I also know about George Thomas.
George Thomas GASSON was born in Slaugham, Sussex on the 13th November 1853 and was baptised in the parish church on the 29th January 1854. His birth was registered under the surname GASTON, on the 25th December 1853 by his grandmother Mary MITCHELL, which presumably accounts for the incorrect spelling of his surname (I say incorrect because this is the only time I have seen him referred to as GASTON not GASSON).
He was the eldest child of Thomas GASSON (1830-1914) and Harriet MITCHELL (c1835-1904) who were married in the parish church at Slaugham, Sussex on the 17th September 1853. They went on to have twelve children in total, eight boys and four girls.
Around 1859-60 Thomas, Harriet and their three children at the time (George Thomas, Margaret and Alfred) moved to Edmonton, Middlesex whilst Thomas was briefly in the Metropolitan Police. The family are there for the 1861 census and had another child there (Edward, registered Q3 1860). Before long the family were back in Sussex (probably Slaugham), as their next child, a daughter named Harriett was registered in Cuckfield District in Q1 1863.
It is not clear when George Thomas left the family home, he was certainly with his parents during the 1871 census, when the family was in Slaugham, and sometime around 1874-75 the family moved to Bolney, Sussex. It was in Bolney that George Thomas married Mary Ann WALDER at the parish church on the 30th December 1876.
George Thomas and Mary Ann's first child, George, was born in 1877 (baptised on the 29th April 1877) about the same time as George Thomas' youngest brother Michael. George Thomas and Mary Ann had fourteen children in total, including in 1893 my great grandmother May GASSON. The youngest was Harold, born in 1898. During this time they were living in Bolney, in the 1881 census at Bee Houses and in 1891 at Chatesgrove.
I have been unable to trace any record of George Thomas' schooling, if there was any. His working life was spent as a labourer, although there is no evidence that shows where and for whom, presumably he was an agricultural labourer working on one of the farms in the parish.
A couple of their children had died before George Thomas was admitted to the asylum, Edward in 1894 (aged 15) and Albert Henry also in 1894 (aged just 3 months). One son was killed during the First World War, William James (in 1915). The youngest Harold served in the navy during the First World War, but I have been unable to discover where and with whom the others served.
After George Thomas was admitted to the asylum the family seems to have drifted eastwards, firstly to Cuckfield (Cuthedges in 1901) and then to Hurstpierpoint (Gorewood Green in 1911). It was in Hurstpierpoint that Mary Ann died in 1935 aged 78, although she was buried back in Bolney churchyard.
As far as I can tell the majority of their children married, with a couple of exceptions (my great grandmother being one of them) and many went on to have large families (at last count I had positively identified 34 grandchildren).

I really hope none of our players are linked to this scandal. We know Odom and Jamal are in the clear.
i doubt any clipper players are in this scandal.
I do think its odd. That CP3 wants to discuss this as his top 3 things as president. I hope no Clippers players are involved. But once you start talking about. Your the President now. And team is rated number one. You know we will be targeted. ESP Blake

Ancestry.co.uk have announced that part of the 1910 Land Valuation Survey is now available for keying in the Ancestry World Archives Project. The 1910 Land Valuation Survey is a massive collection, which is of interest to local and house historians as well as genealogists.
Before you get too excited, the records currently available for indexing (known as the Domesday Books) are just a small part of the complete survey. Those currently being indexed cover "land in the City of London and Paddington". Other Domesday Books, if they have survived, are available at local record offices.
You can find out more about the survey on The National Archives website where they have a research guide which covers the subject. The most important part of the survey are the field books (in IR58) which contain a wealth of details on the land and property involved, but usually very little information about the people involved. According the research guide:
The amount of information entered in the Field Books varies considerably, but usually includes the names of owner and occupier; the owner's interest (freehold, copyhold, etc.); details of tenancy (term and rent); and the area covered by the property. Other details recorded may include the date of erection of buildings, number of rooms, state of repair, liability for rates, insurance and repairs, date(s) of previous sale(s) and, sometimes, a sketch-plan of the property
It can take some work in finding the correct field book (using maps) but it is usually well worth the effort. The indexing of the Domesday Books (IR91) will help make access easier for those areas covered.
I can only hope that this is the start of a much larger project to digitise the entire survey including the field books and maps.

Teaching and Learning
Degree: Master of Arts in Educational Studies
The Teaching and Learning thread focuses on classroom practices, the development of classroom materials, and ways in which teaching occurs in classrooms.
If you enroll in this concentration, you will learn about theory and research relating to sound curricular and instructional practices; you'll gain the knowledge necessary to assess theory and research with a critical eye towards improving teaching and learning.
You will apply theory and research to practice through an internship in a range of teaching and learning settings, including classrooms or other educational settings.
The program can be completed in 10 months of full-time study.
The program offers:
- Menu-style course options that allow you to customize the program for your own aspirations
- Outstanding research and teaching resources
- Education relevant to today's issues
- First-hand experiences
- Conscientious mentors
- Stimulating, motivated peers
- A community with multiple perspectives, interests, and backgrounds
Teaching and Learning is one of four related threads leading to a master of arts in educational studies. Each of these threads combines training and knowledge in emerging areas with expertise and hands-on professional experience. The threads represent broad areas reflecting both expertise at the School of Education and areas that are emerging and important for twenty-first-century career expectations. The programs are flexible and you can, in consultation with an advisor, switch from one thread to another during the course of the program or otherwise customize your experience. The other threads are:
In addition, you must select two electives within the School of Education and two cognates (courses outside the School of Education) to develop disciplinary expertise.
As a bridge to future employment, you will participate in a one-semester internship in a professional setting.
Menu-style course options support customization towards expertise in both disciplines and key areas:
- Disciplinary expertise is developed through four elective and cognate courses. For example, a current middle school science teacher is interested in updating her knowledge of new discoveries in climate change and current knowledge about teaching science using new media and new literacy resources. She would select two cognate courses from University of Michigan graduate science departments (such as Global Change and Earth System Modeling), and two School of Education electives (EDUC 834: "Designing Science Learning Environments" and EDUC 831: "Theory and Research on Learning and Instruction in Science").
- Knowledge in emerging areas is developed through primary thread courses. For example, our middle school science teacher has enrolled in the New Media & New Literacies thread to update her knowledge and skills of how to teach with technology. Therefore, she would select EDUC 603: "Design-Based Research for Assessing Learning Environments"; EDUC 602 "Videogames, Learning, and School"; and "Representations of Practice for Professional Development" as her three primary thread courses in the New Media & New Literacies thread.
- One-semester internship in a professional setting. Our example teacher might pursue an internship in a school media center or an on-campus research/service center focused on technology-enhanced instruction.
Plan of Study
Please view the Course Planning Guide for details on course and credit requirements, including information about electives and the internship. We also invite you to review this list of Course Descriptions to become familiar with the types of master's-level courses offered in Educational Studies. It is important to note that course availability varies from year to year. This list is intended as a starting point for working with your faculty advisor to develop your program.
Professional Roles
The University of Michigan takes a strong pride in producing the leaders and best in all professions--people who are adaptive, transformational, and informed about contemporary issues in practice, policy, and research. In the professional roles of our master's programs, the experiences you select should help you understand how to strongly influence both the processes and outcomes of education in a variety of arenas: organizational structures, decision-making, human relations, and curricular and policy matters.
Each student will declare an intended future professional role that provides guidance or a bridge to their future direction. The role that students choose is not a formal programmatic designation, but rather a piece of information about a students career goals that is intended to help the student and advisor determine relevant electives, cognate courses, and practical experiences to round out the full degree plan.
Students who select a designer role are interested in creating learning environments and their components. As a designer, the courses and practical experiences you select should help you learn about the range of conceptual, analytical, and methodological design thinking practices and how they can be applied to different educational contexts (e.g., classrooms, museums, etc). You should learn how to apply these practices to observe, describe, and understand learners, educators, content areas, and educational contexts in order to create different aspects of a learning environment, including new curricula and instructional approaches, students materials, learner-centered digital technologies and media, etc.
Students who select an educator role are interested in educating others and are committed to active student learning that values diverse talents and ways of understanding. As an educator, the experiences you select should help you improve your understanding of the challenges of classrooms in academic and other professional settings (e.g., museums, schools, corporations, etc.). You should select experiences that help you enhance your skills to prepare and teach coherent, cohesive lessons; integrate current ideas from research, technology, or practice into your work; communicate effectively with parents, students, and other educators; and continue to reflect on and refine your educational practice. You should also learn how to create and maintain an exciting, engaging learning environment. Note: this role does not lead to teaching certification.
Students who select an entrepreneur role are interested in being the creator and leader of new enterprises that bring educational products and services to the public at large. As an entrepreneur, the experiences that you select should help you understand the work involved in developing educational products and services and the issues involved in educationally oriented enterprises. You should understand issues of fund raising and fiscal models and the development of school-community partnerships.
Policy Maker
Students who select a policy maker role are interested in influencing or writing district, state, and/or federal educational policy or policy initiatives. Policy makers can include those who work with school boards, state or federal departments of education, professional organizations, or non-profit foundations, etc. As a policy maker, the experiences that you select should help you understand how educational policies are created, implemented, and evaluated. You should also understand the evolution and history of educational policy and the impacts that different policies can have on national and international educational systems.
Practitioner/Instructional Leader
Students who select a practitioner role are interested in either developing or enhancing expertise as facilitators or advisors (e.g., superintendents, curriculum directors, museum educators, school principals, literacy coaches, consultants, staff developers, technology coordinators, etc.). Practitioners see themselves as supporting or leading other educators or professionals in a variety of educative contexts. As a practitioner, you should select experiences that will help you support educators in becoming more thoughtful and knowledgeable about their practice. You should also select experiences that help you translate theory into practice, enhance your knowledge in a given area, and develop mentoring and communication skills.
Students who select a researcher role are interested in being a discoverer of new knowledge and a constructor of innovative solutions to educational problems. As a researcher, the experiences that you select that should help you explore the type of work involved in academic research and give you a more detailed understand at the issues involved in educational research. Additionally, taking a researcher role can give you a taste of research work to help you decide whether you would like to pursue doctoral work or other research activity in the future.
If you are currently, or seek to become, a teacher of English to speakers of other languages, please read the section below for additional information.
Information for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages Considering the Educational Studies MA: Teaching and Learning
Please note that the Teaching and Learning thread is typically not a good fit for students whose primary interest is in developing expertise in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
We believe aspiring professionals in this field will typically be better served by a program in TESOL or Applied Linguistics. Such programs offer a curriculum that is tailored to the needs and interests of teachers of English to speakers of other languages and offer a robust selection of courses outside the scope of the Teaching and Learning thread, including second language acquisition, language and culture, and English grammar.
We recommend that students with an interest in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) refer to TESOL International Association, a professional association with a mission to ensure excellence in English language teaching to speakers of other languages, for resources related to graduate education and professional development.
In certain situations, practicing teachers of English to speakers of other languages may have educational and professional goals that do fit the scope of the Teaching and Language program.
In this situation, strong candidates are likely to:
- Have five or more years of experience in teaching English to speakers of other languages and/or already hold degrees in TESOL or Applied Linguistics.
- Have a primary interest in broadening and deepening their professional practice and/or pursuing research in areas not specific to the discipline of language teaching and acquisition.
- Demonstrate very high academic English skills in the application for admission.
Explore Your Fit
To begin the process of exploring your fit with the program, please complete the short form here. You will receive a response that contains additional resources, including details on the application timeline and process, along with an invitation to schedule a one-on-one appointment with the Educational Studies MA Recruitment Coordinator.

A mountain lion was shot inside the Des Moines city limits Thursday morning.
Police were called to the scene in the 3900 block of Columbia Street about 9:30 a.m. by the homeowner who spotted the cat under plants in his back yard.
The scene is about two blocks north of Euclid Avenue in a Highland Park neighborhood.
Police said an officer shot the mountain lion near a greenhouse in the back yard of the home. It was 6 feet 3 inches long, police said.
"The officers knew, due to the size of the mountain lion, that its escape would be of great danger to the public. The lion made a dashing move leaving officers no choice but to shoot the lion," said police spokesman Sgt. Christopher Scott in a news release.
Police said that approximately two hours before the shooting that there were reports of a mountain lion around Madison Elementary School.
The scene is close to two Des Moines schools: two blocks north of Harding Middle School and four blocks west of Madison Elementary School.
The investigation into the incident is under way.
Jeff Swearngin is a conservation officer from the Department of Natural Resources. He said it appears the animal was just roaming the area.
On July 12, a mountain lion was spotted in an area west of where the cat was shot Thursday. A resident of a Norwoodville neighborhood, which is just southeast of the eastern mixmaster reported a mountain lion in the 3200 block of NE 46th Street on July 12. Children at the Norwoodville Rec Center were told to go inside as a precaution.
Two police cars were sent to check out the report, but never found the cat during the July incident.
