Kyllingas By Mario Villarino

Kyllingas (Kyllinga spp.) belong to the sedge family (Cyperaceae) and at first glance can look like grasses, especially in mowed turf. However, closer inspection reveals that their stem, floral, and vegetative charac- teristics are quite different from grasses.

So Many Choices: Events and More By Johanna Hicks

So Many Choices!                We make decisions every day – what to wear, what to eat, how to spend our day, whether or not to answer the phone, what to watch on TV, whom to text or call, and even things we don’t think about, like where to sit, what to read (whether in the newspaper, on your phone, on your computer, on your smart watch, etc.)  We literally make hundreds of choices, if not thousands, every day.                At the...
