An Exciting Opportunity
The Aldens were sitting in front of the Greenfield Ice Cream Café.
"You are the best brother ever. Thank you, Henry," six-year-old Benny said, rubbing his tummy. Henry had taken Benny and their two sisters, Jessie and Violet, out for a bike ride and a treat. Now the four children sat together quietly enjoying their ice cream cones.
The calm was suddenly broken. "Help me!" a voice called. It was Josh Greene, their neighbor. He went soaring past on his bike.
"I can't stop!" Josh called. "I think my brakes are out!" His bike was going fast.
The Aldens looked at each other. A split second later they were all running for their bikes.
Henry zoomed down the street on his mountain bike. "Hold on tight!" he shouted to Josh.
"We're coming!" twelve-year-old Jessie yelled. She and Violet and Benny wanted to help Josh too.
"You can't slow down at all?" Violet called out. She was ten and she rode her purple beach cruiser as fast as she could.
"No," Josh called back. "I think I'm going to crash!"
Brinnnggg went the bell of Benny's bike. "I'll save you!" Benny said. His training wheels scraped against the sidewalk as he tried to catch up.
"You're going to have to jump, Josh!" Henry yelled. He knew there was a steep slope ahead. If Josh went downhill, it would be even harder to stop.
"Josh, head toward the park," Jessie called. "If you have to crash, at least it'll be on grass."
Josh nodded. Instead of shooting straight towards the hill, he made a left on Main Street. The park was only a block away, near the town square.
Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny all stopped at the edge of the park. But Josh's bike jumped the sidewalk and kept on going.
In a swift, daring move, Josh leapt off his bike and rolled safely onto a grassy patch by the playground. Without a rider, the old bike kept on going until it finally slammed into a tree. Josh's bike tipped over in the dirt.
The Aldens left their bikes and went running.
"I'm fine," Josh told them. He got up and wiped loose grass off his jeans. "How's my bike?"
"Oh dear," Violet said, as she saw the damage.
The bike's frame was bent. Both tires had popped.
"Bad news, Josh. Your bike is dead. D-E-A-D." Jessie said.
"What am I going to do?" Josh groaned. "I need my bike to do my paper route." Josh had a messenger bag on his back. "I was making deliveries when my brakes gave out." The bag was half full with the afternoon's newspapers. "If I don't have my bike, I can't work." Josh sighed.
Jessie put an arm around Josh's shoulders. "Let's take it to the bike repair shop. I bet they'll know how to fix it."
The Aldens gathered their bikes and walked along with Josh. His bike's flat tires made a clump, clomp sound along the sidewalk.
When they got to Jim's Bike Shop, Josh looked at the shiny new bikes.
"I wish I could buy a new bike," he said. "But I don't know how I can even pay for repairs."
"Maybe it won't cost that much," Henry said. "Let's go see what Jim says." Henry and Josh went to the back of the store.
"I'll call Grandfather and tell him we'll be home a little later than we planned," Jessie said. "I don't want him to worry."
Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny lived with their grandfather. After their parents died, they ran away and hid in a railroad boxcar. They'd heard that Grandfather was mean and even though they'd never met him, they were afraid. The boxcar became their home. They even found a dog in the woods, took him in, and called him Watch.
When Grandfather located them, it turned out that he wasn't mean at all. They gladly went to live with him. Watch went, too. Even the boxcar went to Grandfather's house. Now it was a clubhouse in the backyard.
While they waited for Josh and Henry, Benny and Violet looked at the new bikes. Jessie began reading flyers posted on the wall.
At last Henry and Josh came back. Josh looked crushed.
"It's going to cost about a hundred dollars to fix my bike," he said. He put his head in his hands. "I don't know what to do. I don't have that much!"
"I wish we could help," Henry said.
"Maybe we could raise money with a car wash," Violet suggested.
"A bake sale would be better," Benny said. He and Violet came over to Jim's front desk. "I love bake sales!" Benny went on. "So many yummy things to eat."
"Benny might eat everything at a bake sale before any customers arrived." Violet laughed, gently teasing her brother.
"Hold on. I have an even better idea!" Jessie announced. She pointed at a bright green flyer on Jim's bulletin board. "I know how we can help Josh pay for his bike repairs."
Violet read the sign out loud: "Wundermutt Dog Food is looking for a new Wundermutt TV star."
Jessie pointed to some small writing at the bottom of the flyer. It read: PRIZE MONEY WILL BE AWARDED.
"Fame and fortune!" Benny said. "Our dog, Watch, will take the fame," he told Josh. "And you can have the fortune!"
Henry leaned in to look at the poster.
"The auditions are being held today at the Greenfield Mall." Benny looked confused so Henry explained, "An audition is a try-out. The dogs will do all kinds of tests and the best dog will win."
"The flyer says that the auditions begin at two o'clock." Jessie said. "It's already one now. We'd better hurry."
"Let's go!" Benny exclaimed. "Watch is so awesome! He's sure to win! He'll be a star, just like my favorite TV dog, Ninja! Let's do it!"
"Do you think the Wundermutt company would give you a hundred dollars?" Josh asked.
"We won't know unless we try," Henry said. "While Watch auditions, you can borrow my bike for a of couple days to do your paper route."
"Thank you so much, Henry." Josh's eyes were now much brighter and happier. "I sure hope Watch gets the commercial."
"Cross your fingers," Henry told Josh. "And keep them crossed."
"It'll be hard to deliver papers with my fingers crossed," Josh said with a laugh. "But I'll do my best."
"Watch will do his best, too," Benny said.
"Grandfather, we're home!" Jessie announced. Then she said to the others, "Violet, please get Watch's brush. Benny, you are in charge of his leash."
Watch came bounding into the room at the sound of Jessie's voice.
"Where's the fire?" Grandfather asked, coming out of his study.
"Watch is going to be on TV," Violet said.
"A big star!" Benny held out his hands to show just how big.
Then, Benny told Grandfather the whole story. He was so excited he said it all without taking a single breath.
"Whoa," Grandfather said, putting out a hand towards Benny. "Slow down. What's this about Josh Greene crashing in the park?"
"He's fine. He wasn't hurt," Henry said.
"We're going to give him the prize money," Violet added.
"Prize money?" Grandfather asked. "What prize money? I thought this was about Watch."
Jessie hooked Watch's leash to his collar. "We can explain on the way to the mall."
Grandfather looked puzzled. "The mall?" he asked.
"Can you please take us there?" Henry asked.
"You promise you'll explain on the way?" Grandfather replied.
Henry nodded. "Every single detail," he agreed.
"All right then," Grandfather said, pulling out his car keys.
"Are you ready to be a superstar, Watch?" Benny asked.
CHAPTER 2A Long Line
"Hold hands, Benny." Jessie reached out to take his hand in hers. "We have to stick together. This place is really crowded."
"It looks like every dog owner in town is at the mall today," Henry said. In the center courtyard of the mall, there was a long and winding line of people and pets that had shown up for the dog audition.
"This is like waiting for a ride at an amusement park in the middle of summer," Violet said.
They walked to find the end of the line. They were almost there when Benny suddenly shouted, "Ninja!" He yanked his hand out of Jessie's.
"Ninja, the TV star?" Jessie asked. She saw Benny dashing towards a tall, thin man with a dog. The dog was a black Labrador on a rhinestone-studded leash. Henry, who was leading Watch, and Violet hurried over to see what the fuss was about.
"Why would Ninja be here in Greenfield?" Violet wondered. "I don't think it could be him, Benny."
"I am a million percent sure. That is definitely Ninja," Benny said, "I'd know him anywhere!"
Benny went up to the dog's owner. "Hi. I've seen every episode of 'Ninja at Night.' It's my favorite show. Ninja is my hero," Benny said. "Can I pet Ninja? Please?"
The black lab looked up at Benny, his tail wagging eagerly.
"No!" the man said sternly. "No one pets Ninja. He is preparing for his audition and must not be disturbed." The man pulled Ninja away from Benny. "He needs to concentrate."
Ninja stopped wagging his tail and lowered his head.
"I cannot believe we have to audition like regular folk," the man muttered loud enough so that everyone around could hear. "This is outrageous. Ninja is a star." The man stuck his nose in the air, then turned his back on the Aldens.
"Come on, Benny," Jessie said, taking her brother's hand back in hers. She gave it a squeeze.
"We'd better get in line anyway," Henry said. "Even more dogs have arrived since we first got here."
"I feel bad for Ninja," Violet said as they led Watch through the crowd. "That dog looked like he wanted to be petted."
Benny walked along with the others. He dragged his feet sadly.
The children took their place in line. At exactly two o'clock, a woman in a suit stepped up onto a small platform with a microphone in the middle of the mall courtyard. A younger blonde woman followed her carrying a clipboard.
"Testing. One. Two. Three. Attention everyone." The woman in the suit spoke. A hush fell over the crowd. Benny looked down to make sure Watch was listening. His terrier ears were standing up at attention.
"Good dog," Benny whispered. He scratched Watch behind the ears.
"Welcome. My name is Margaret Werner. I am the Advertising Manager for the Wundermutt Company. Let me begin by telling you how thrilled we are that so many dogs and their owners came to the mall today." The woman gave a small smile. "Now, I must let you know that the Wundermutt Company has decided that we are looking for a larger dog."
Some people in the crowd began to mutter.
"I am so sorry," Ms. Werner told them. "But if your dog is shorter than this," she put her hand by her knee, "it will not be allowed to audition today. Maybe another day we will come back looking for a smaller dog. Thank you so much for supporting the Wundermutt Company and our delicious dog food and other products."
A number of people and their small dogs left the audition. The Alden children and Watch were able to move up in line.
"Watch is just the right size!" Benny said.
"So far, so good," Henry agreed.
Ms. Werner spoke again. "We are also looking for a dog that is not too skinny. Too fat. Or too old. The dog must be healthy and well trained."
More people and their dogs left the line. The Alden children could hear some people sigh sadly as they left.
"Watch still fits," Violet said.
"Whew," Jessie breathed in relief. "I think he's got a really good chance! He's certainly well trained and can do a lot of great tricks."
Henry took a quick count. "There are now only about fifty people and their dogs left in line."
Benny reached into his pocket and pulled out a lucky penny. "Here," he told Henry, "rub it for luck."
Henry smiled and took the penny. He ran his finger over Lincoln's face, then handed it back.
Benny grinned. He put his good luck charm back into his pocket.
Ms. Werner continued," In just a few minutes, I will go down the line and take a close look at each dog. If your dog has the right look for the commercial, I will give it a bowl of our food to snack on. All other dogs will be sent home."
"A snack!" Benny exclaimed. "I wish they had a snack for the dog owners, too." His brother and sisters all smiled. Benny had a bottomless appetite.
The Alden children were now close to the platform where Ms. Werner and the blonde woman stood. They watched as Ms. Werner stepped off the platform. "Lisa," she said to the blonde woman, "I'm going to get the food and bowls. You stay here and hand out coupons."
Lisa didn't look happy about her job. She grumbled as she sat down behind the coupon table.
A few minutes later, the Aldens saw Ms. Werner return with a pushcart. She had a big bag of Wundermutt dog food and a stack of plastic souvenir dog bowls. She started at the head of the line and poured a bowl of food for a very pretty golden retriever.
But the next two dogs in line did not get food. "I'm so sorry. Yours are not the kind of dogs we are looking for today. Lisa will give you some coupons for our dog food on your way out," Ms. Werner told the owners.
"Yours gets a snack," Ms. Werner said, and gave food to another dog as she continued down the line.
Benny put his hand in his pocket and rubbed his lucky penny again. "I sure hope Watch gets food instead of getting sent home," he told Violet.
"Me, too," Violet agreed. Benny handed her the penny. She rubbed it and handed it back.
"Yippee for Ninja!" Benny said happily when he saw the black Lab get a bowl of food.
But Ninja's owner didn't like being stuck in line. "My dog is a star," he said. "He should have simply been given the role."
Ms. Werner shook her head. "As I already told you, your dog must try out just like everyone else's."
"Hmph," said Ninja's owner. Ms. Werner turned away.
Ms. Werner continued down the line. When she finally got to Watch, she took a few extra seconds studying him.
Benny squeezed his penny tight. Jessie crossed her fingers. Violet was so nervous, she closed her eyes. Henry tapped his toe against the floor.
After what seemed like a very long time, Ms. Werner said, "A snack for your terrier." She poured Watch a big bowl of food.
"Whew!" The Aldens all breathed huge sighs of relief. Watch had made it through the first round of the audition!
Ms. Werner set the bowl down in front of Watch. Jessie noticed the scent of a strong perfume.
"Do you smell flowers?" she asked her brothers and sister as Ms. Werner moved off to check out the next dog.
"Not flowers." Henry lifted his nose and took a long sniff. "It's more like lemons."
"Achoo," Benny sneezed. "Whatever it is, it's making me sneezy!"
"I'm trying to remember exactly where I've smelled that odor before." Violet stood quietly thinking for a while. "I know!" she declared at last. "That fragrance isn't flowers or lemons. It's citronella."
"Citron ... what?" Benny asked, rubbing his nose and sneezing again.
"Citronella," Violet said. "It's a lemony, flowery smelling oil that's put in candles and sprays. It keeps bugs away."
"Maybe Ms. Werner is wearing a new citronella perfume—perfect for summer time," Jessie said with a laugh. "Whatever it is, I like it." Jessie sniffed and added, "The scent sure does last a long time. I can still smell it even though she's all the way down near the end of the line now."
"Hmm," Violet said, pinching her lips together and tugging at her long brown pigtails.
"What are you thinking?" Henry asked his sister.
"I don't know yet," Violet replied. "But something doesn't feel quite right."
"I was thinking that too, but not about the citronella." Jessie said. "I was wondering why a big star like Ninja needs to audition for this commercial. What's a Hollywood dog doing in our little town of Greenfield?"
"Want to know what I'm wondering?" Benny asked his siblings.
"What?" Henry, Violet, and Jessie asked at once.
Benny pointed at Watch who was sniffing the bowl of dog food in front of him. "Wundermutt food is Watch's favorite. But he's not eating it. Why not?" Benny took a step back and looked down the line. "Look," he told his brother and sisters. "None of the dogs are eating the food."
Jessie, Henry, and Violet glanced up and down the audition line. "Benny is right," Jessie said. "Not even one dog in the whole line is eating the food. The bowls are all still full."
"Strange," Henry said, rubbing his chin. "Most dogs will eat almost anything ... It looks like we've stumbled onto a mystery."
CHAPTER 3Audition Action
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Suddenly the Aldens could hear the unmistakable sound of a dog eating. The children looked at each other. The sound was coming from near the end of the line.
"Hold on!" Jessie said. "That dog is eating the food." Jessie pointed to a black and white speckled sheepdog. A boy about Jessie's age was standing with the dog as it chomped away at his bowl of food.
"Why is that dog the only one in the whole line eating the food?" Henry wanted to know.
"Maybe the other dogs aren't hungry," Violet suggested.
"But Violet, they're dogs," Benny said. "Grandfather once told me that dogs are always a little hungry." He patted his tummy and added, "Sometimes, I think I might be part dog."
Henry and Violet laughed.
"Woof," Jessie teased, patting him on the head.
From where they stood, the Aldens could hear Ms. Werner talking to the boy with the speckled dog.
"What is your name?" Ms. Werner asked.
"Dante Oliver," the boy replied. "And this is Buffalo."
Benny giggled and whispered to Violet, "That dog looks nothing like a buffalo."
"Well, Buffalo sure seems to be a nice dog," Ms. Werner said kindly to Dante. She put out her hand and Buffalo licked it. Suddenly Buffalo leapt forward. He pulled against his leash and tried to get closer to Ms. Werner.
"Down," she said firmly, stepping away. "I'm going to put a star next to Buffalo's name," Ms. Werner told Dante. "We're going to keep an eye on your dog." Then she walked away.
"Oh no," Benny said to his siblings, "Ms. Werner already likes Buffalo best of all because he ate the Wundermutt food!"
"Don't worry," Jessie assured her little brother. "The auditions have barely begun."

I like how you're developing Hazelpaw's character, and the plot seems really well done. However, it's all rather rushed.

Hazelpaw grumpily stomped back to camp, fur ruffled the wrong way. She now began to notice even more how horrible WaterClan is and how amazing ScorchClan is. A sharp bramble thorn would snag around her paw and dig deep into her pad whereas all the dangers in ScorchClan is hidden under a layers of soft, green pine needles that made the air bloom in its arouma. Hazelpaw was slowly turning from the sweet little appretice she was to a bitter one- the more she thought about Flamestar's refusal for her to join, her mood turned sour and she began to think about how ugly WaterClan is compared to ScorchClan. <br> *I /need/ to join that Clan! I can feel it in my blood, it's my destiny. ScorchClan was made for me!* She didn't know why she felt so strongly about this. <p> "It's a girl!" The joyous voice of Ripplestar announced from the nursery. Hazelpaw was slouched by the fresh-kill pike, choking down a fish. <br> "That's great, Ripplestar. We all wanted to know that useful fact," she muttered sarcastically to herself as she tore off a slippery chunk of salty flesh. *I hate fish. That's all WaterClan has on our fresh-kill pile; fish, fish, fish.* She gagged as a hunk of slimy meat slipped down her throat before she was ready. *I gotta get out of here... I need that kit to turn in to Flamestar.* <p> (In case you guys didn't know, Super Editions are meant to be short. So that's why I wrote them only a couple pages long!

Stanford Ignite-Polytechnique Program in innovation and entrepreneurship will utilize high definition technology to bring faculty from Silicon Valley into a TelePresence facility in Paris starting September 25. High-potential scientists, technologists, doctors and inventors from throughout Europe who seek to drive economic growth through entrepreneurship have until Monday, July 14 to apply.
A limited number of scholarships will be made available for admitted applicants who apply by Monday, June 30, and who demonstrate financial need.
The joint program between Stanford Graduate School of Business and École Polytechnique, one of Europe's finest schools of engineering and science and one of the leading Grandes Écoles in France, will convene at state-of-the-art facilities at Cisco France, centrally located in Issy-les-Moulineaux with easy access to transportation.
Participants of the Stanford Ignite–Polytechnique program join a global network of high-impact innovators and entrepreneurs from Stanford Ignite programs deployed around the world including Bangalore, India; Santiago, Chile; and Beijing, China. These global participants have started more than 100 successful companies since the program was introduced at Stanford in 2006.
The program provides exposure to both the fundamentals of business and the practical aspects of identifying, evaluating, and moving business ideas forward. Classes draw on the same world-class Stanford faculty who teach in the MBA program. The curriculum is designed to deliver the same highly personal and innovative instruction that technical professionals and students at the Stanford Graduate School of Business experience – in a European dimension. École Polytechnique will enrich the program by bringing leading European executives, venture investors, legal experts, and lecturers to the program as guest speakers and mentors to provide real-world feedback on team projects.
For nonbusiness technical or medical professionals and graduate students
Intended for individuals who do not have graduate business training, Stanford Ignite–Polytechnique applicants must be currently enrolled students in a master's, PhD, MD, or post-doctoral program studying non-business fields; or must be professionals with a minimum of a bachelor's (BA or BS) degree from a regionally accredited institution. Advanced degrees preferred. Classes meet Thursday evenings, Fridays, and Saturdays, and additional meetings, as needed, for project work.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit all materials as soon as possible. A complete application will contain: the finished online application, a resume, a series of short essays, and two letters of recommendation. Tuition is 7 000€ and includes course materials, some meals, and program events.

Speaker's election victory boosts Kenyan opposition
Some say there are only two tribes that matter in Kenya – the haves and the have-nots. The opening day of parliament yesterday, after the disputed elections that sparked a wave of violence across the country, was a reunion for the haves. Government and opposition MPs greeted each other like old friends, vigorously shaking hands and sharing jokes.
Indeed, many of them are old friends. Some opposition MPs once supported the government of President Mwai Kibaki, while about half those now aligned with the government were in opposition a few months ago. But even friends sometimes disagree. After a deeply flawed election that left international observers and diplomats unable to say for sure who won, both sides have accused the other of inciting violence which has so far claimed more than 600 lives.
The opposition Orange Democratic Movement party (ODM) is planning rallies today, and mediation efforts have been put on hold after the former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, who was due to arrive last night, went down with "severe flu".
In Nairobi's wood-panelled national assembly, modelled on Britain's House of Commons with its adversarial leather benches, the two sides continued their political battle yesterday as they voted on the new parliamentary Speaker.
Raila Odinga, the man that the ODM and its supporters believe is Kenya's rightful president, entered to a standing ovation from his own MPs. They remained seated as President Kibaki arrived moments later – the first time they had been in the same room since the December ballot.
Both sides backed different candidates for the Speaker's job. The government wanted Francis Ole Kaparo, the incumbent; the ODM was backing one of its own, Kenneth Marende. His party, with 99 of the 207 seats, was confident of victory. But, despite having just 43 MPs, Mr Kibaki was sure he had secured the support of enough members from smaller parties to win.
It did not take long for the atmosphere to heat up. The clerk, dressed in a dark blue gown, announced that the ballot would be secret. The ODM complained. A secret ballot, they feared, would allow some of their own supporters to switch sides. In Kenya's ideology-free, money-rich political world, bribery is not uncommon.
The ODM MPs made a show of displaying their ballot papers to supporters, provoking anger from some government MPs. "Why are they displaying their ballot? Is it a secret ballot?" yelled one. William Ruto, an opposition leader, hit back: "We went into the [presidential] election with a secret ballot, you stole the vote!"
One after another, MPs rose to make points of order as the increasingly exasperated clerk tried in vain to keep control. Others sat on the benches, exchanging insults across the aisle.
Kalonzo Musyoka, who finished third in the presidential poll and took the job of Vice-President, said MPs should not "participate in a flawed process". That brought a sharp response from the ODM's secretary general, Anyang' Nyong'o. "He has just accepted being Vice-President in a flawed process," he said, to cheers from his own side.
George Saitoti, the new Internal Security minister, said that anything other than a secret ballot would "undermine democracy". The government's pleas for secrecy were, his colleagues said, based on principle.
The clerk, now beginning to sweat, repeated his call for the MPs "show the nation how a secret ballot is run". In the end, the argument was settled by Britain.
The Attorney General, Amos Wako, waved a copy of Erskine May: Parliamentary Practice, the guide to British parliamentary procedure. Where Kenya's parliamentary practices were not specific enough, he said, British rules filled the gaps.
Turning to page 280 of the book's 23rd edition, Mr Wako quoted a section that said elections for Speaker should be held in secret. The votes already cast were torn up and the process started all over again.
President Kibaki, who sat on a leather-backed wooden throne behind the clerk, looked bored by the process, occasionally muttering to a soldier to his left.
"Would the President come and begin voting again?" the clerk asked. Mr Kibaki sighed and shuffled from his seat. He and the other MPs had to vote two more times before a result emerged. Bribery attempts had failed. The ODM won and elected Mr Marende.

Birdman 2014
There is an odd sense of irony here now that Birdman is garnering all of this critical and award-show attention. Keaton, a somewhat washed up ex-superhero star has managed to rekindle his career through an over-ambitious passion project. It's a little bit like a self-fulfilling prophecy. You've got to revel in that at least a little. Still, this film is a very impressive piece of filmmaking. Iñárritu has crafted together a wonderfully paced and engaging film which all appears to…
Taken 3 2015
I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Taken 3 is an awful film. It manages to toe the line between two types of awful films, the 'so bad it's good' and the 'so bad it's a bore' categories. The first can be forgiven; you can enjoy schlock that is so bad it makes you laugh. At least then you get some kind of joy, some entertainment out of your viewing experience. The latter category is unforgivable. No one…

Nightcrawler 2014
This is one of the most intense and enthralling character pieces I have seen on film. The film has it's flaws, that's to be sure. Some have argued that the score is a let down and I personally feel that the side-characters, in particular Riz Ahmed's Rick, were a little under-drawn. The love and attention of this film is clearly and definitely focused on the character of Louis Bloom, portrayed through a phenomenal performance by Jake Gyllenhaal.

From: Saint Marys, MD
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Native grasses for hill in Saint Mary's County, Maryland
Answered by: Nan Hampton
Is there a native grass or grasses I can mow on a hill that faces south and is too large to water in Saint Marys County, Maryland?ANSWER:
Mr. Smarty Plants is a little confused and thinks some translation needs to be done on your question. I am confused about the 'mow' part of the question and think perhaps you meant to say 'sow'? Assuming that's the case, here is how you can choose some grasses for the hill. You can do a COMBINATION SEARCH in our Native Plant Database by selecting 'Maryland' from Select State or Province and 'Grass/Grass-like' from Habit (general appearance). This will give you more than 340 grasses or grass-like plants native to Maryland to look through. You can shorten the list by using the NARROW YOUR SEARCH option. Since I don't the other characteristics of the hill I can't be sure what choices you need to make. For instance, if your hill is in sun and dry and you want the grass to be less than 3 feet tall, you would select 'Sun -' from LIGHT REQUIREMENT, 'Dry-' from SOIL MOISTURE and both '0-1' and '1-3' from HEIGHT (IN FEET). This would narrow the list to 15 species. (The characteristics you put in, of course, will change the number of species in the list.) You can open the links for each of the grasses and find that many of them will tolerate other growing conditions as well. Unfortunately, I can't tell you specifically if these are native to Saint Marys County. For most states it is possible to find this out by scrolling to the bottom of our species page and clicking on the species link by the USDA under ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. This will take you to the USDA Plants Database. Clicking on the state on the Distribution Map (or on its abbreviation in the list below the map) on the USDA page would show you a map of the state with counties highlighted where the plant has been found. However, the USDA Plants Database doesn't have that information for Maryland for some reason.
With all that said and done, here are several grasses and sedges native to Maryland that are commercially available that should work on your hill. You, of course, can search for more that meet your specific requirements.
Bouteloua curtipendula (Sideoats grama)
Carex blanda (Eastern woodland sedge)
Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge)
Koeleria macrantha (Prairie junegrass)
Sporobolus heterolepis (Prairie dropseed)

Hall and Oates Concert Coming to U.S. Movie Theaters
A sold-out Hall and Oates concert from last summer in Dublin will be shown on the big screen next month.
A sold-out Hall and Oates concert from last summer in Dublin will be shown on the big screen next month.
John Oates reveals more than we ever wanted to know.
After 40 years, dozens of hits, and millions of records sold, Daryl Hall and John Oates are proud members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
John Oates says that two of Hall & Oates' biggest hits were not to be taken literally.
You're forgiven to have believed that 'Rich Girl' became the first of six No. 1 songs for Hall and Oates on the strength of its snarky put-downs toward a particularly haughty girlfriend. But John Oates says that's not even close, as Daryl Hall had another inspiration entirely.
For Hall & Oates, it means a sort of validation. For Cat Stevens, there's a bit of embarrassment at how good it makes him feel. And for Linda Ronstadt, there's the awful realization that Parkinson's will probably keep her away from her big night.
Kiss, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Nirvana, Hall & Oates and Cat Stevens have been elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2014 class. That means Deep Purple, Yes and the Zombies are among the nominees who were not chosen this year.
They're best-known today for the string of enormous hit singles they enjoyed in the '80s, but those days of pop stardom were still a distant point on the horizon when Hall & Oates released their second album, 'Abandoned Luncheonette.'
Before they became one of the biggest acts of the '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates kicked around various songs, styles and producers in search of a defining sound. Some worked; many didn't. Initially influenced by the thriving soul music coming out of their hometown of Philadelphia, the duo scored just as much R&B airplay as they did on Top 40 stations back in the mid-'70s.

Xinjiang, a vast area bordering Central Asia, is home to Uighurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups. It has long had a population of Han.
Mexico revoked the contract awarded to the consortium made up of China Railway Construction Corp , CSR Corp and four other Mexican firms on Nov. 7.
China opened first stretch of high-speed railway in western region of Xinjiang to promote economic development in hinterlands and bind them closer.
The production unit of Indian Railways manufacturing passenger coaches had for the first time produced three variants of LHB EOG shells during 2013-14.
The DoT will shortly move a Cabinet note to mandate BBNL to appoint an independent project management consultant that will invite bids from private players.
Li told Malaysian PM Najib Razak China was willing to "actively participate" in the Singapore-Malaysia high-speed rail, state media reported.
"We think in terms of technology, management experience and costs, we have an advantage," a CRCC spokesman told the media on Tuesday.
Railways have started to ease up the processes in order to take speedy decisions and the private wagon demand is up, says Chowdhary.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Snowboard Pants in stock than that.
The Technine Icon Shell Pant offers fully-functional protection against the elements, at a price that leaves you with leftover loot for 40's of malt liquor.
