psyguy10(8)September 22, 2009
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone could tell me which Crinum they suspect this is:
I'm sorry I don't have a better picture. The only information i can supply is that it's hardy here in zone 8a, it forms a rather large clump and blooms profusely for about a month.
I really think it's an old hybrid, but i'm not sure.

text: blog postsThe Culture Change Imperative for Learning AssessmentOct 16, 2012 8:45 am604 views The September 2012 issue of the NILOA Newsletter included NILOA's 15th Occasional Paper, "The Seven Red Herrings About Standardized Assessments in Higher Education," written by Roger Benjamin, with a foreword by Peter Ewell, and including commentaries by Margaret Miller, Terrel Rhodes, Trudy Banta, Gary Pike, and Gordon Davies. The points made in that paper for and against standardized tests of student learning are provocative and clarifying but, as Ewell noted, they are arguments with which we are already quite familiar. Ultimately, how best to assess learning for the purposes of furthering learning and accountability is a question for empirical inquiry that can draw on powerful resources in higher education expertise. Much assessment of learning already exists on campuses. The vexing problem, however, is that little of it consistently and coherently signals to students the institution's expectations and the standards shared by faculty and staff. While there are faculty members on every campus who practice exceptionally inventive and effective assessment, such practice rarely is pervasive such that it both purposefully contributes to all students' learning and informs an institution-level portrait of student learning and development. Why is systemic assessment still so rare? The answer is embedded in the papers mentioned above: Resistance to learning assessment is in the DNA of the academy's current culture. Benjamin speaks of this charitably as "institutional inertia." Davies, more bluntly, notes that despite rhetoric to the contrary, neither higher education's values nor its rewards for the individuals within it have changed. The academy's incentive and reward system is not about student learning but about institutional prestige measured by selective admissions, endowment, and research prowess. As Davies put it, "Colleges and universities have a huge investment in the status quo, and they are not likely to support changes that may be needed in what and how they do it." But as considerable research and many critics point out, the status quo is no longer tenable. A culture change in higher education is imperative. Far too many college graduates have not achieved widely accepted and significant higher learning outcomes such as the ability to think critically and creatively, speak and write cogently and clearly, solve problems, comprehend complex issues, accept responsibility and accountability, or understand the perspective of others. The central contributor to this learning crisis is culture—both the larger culture surrounding the academy and that within colleges and universities themselves. With regard to the latter, the shared norms, values, standards, expectations, and priorities of teaching and learning on most campuses are not powerful enough to support true higher learning. We do not demand enough from students; our standards are not high enough; we accept half-hearted work from students who have not asked enough of themselves; and we do not support students in asking for more from their teachers. Degrees have become deliverables (purchased, not earned); credit hours are accumulated and courses passed with little concern for coherence or quality because we are not willing to make students work hard to attain shared high standards to earn them. As a result, students do not experience the kind of integrated, holistic, developmental, rigorous undergraduate education they absolutely must have for truly transformative higher learning to occur. To put student learning at the center of each institution's work demands that we know the extent to which learning is occurring and that we provide timely and appropriate feedback to students and teachers. To change institutional culture requires that we recognize and embrace the cumulative and collective nature of higher learning and the powerful role that learning assessment plays in outcomes of that nature. Thinking critically and writing creatively, for example, are skills learned cumulatively over the span of the entire undergraduate program. Objectives and standards for excellence in these skills must be shared—intentionally articulated, planned around, and assessed by faculty and staff across all courses and programs. Higher learning requires far more instruction, practice, assessment, and feedback than is currently provided or expected within single courses or other isolated learning experiences. The assessment challenge of cumulative learning is that it requires faculty to come together—collectively—and to agree on which outcomes, expectations, and standards they share and endorse, and then, throughout their various courses and programs, to reinforce these outcomes, expectations, and standards. The assessment of cumulative learning demands change in the institutional culture of learning, change that requires faculty to significantly raise their expectations and standards for learning outcomes and that ensures the adequate formative and summative assessment of those outcomes. Outcomes, expectations, and standards, moreover, must be transparent. When students engage with faculty and staff in pursuing transparent, institution-wide outcomes, expectations, and standards, and when they receive frequent and appropriate feedback, higher learning improves. In this sense, learning assessment is best understood not as an external imposition by the state or administration but rather as a powerful dimension of teaching and learning derived, practiced, and promoted by faculty and staff to improve the quality and quantity of undergraduate learning. Given the cumulative and collective nature of higher learning, establishing and sustaining a conscientious, diligent, rigorous, campus-wide regime of learning assessment requires changes not just in attitudes but also in campus policies and commonly agreed practices to advance and sustain a more intentional learning culture. Learning assessment, for example, should not be the burden of a small knot of dedicated faculty and staff who understand its benefits and are willing to suffer its additional costs; when that happens, exhaustion, disenchantment, and frustration are inevitable. To say that academic culture change—however imperative—is hard is an understatement. The work culture of academia rightfully offers each individual faculty member a great deal of freedom for independent judgments about the aims and content of learning. Yet relationships, not just between faculty and administration but also among faculty members themselves, create cultural and power barriers that are difficult to overcome. Constructing shared outcomes, expectations, standards, and assessment tools, and conducting effective learning assessment requires precious time and effort. Incentive and reward systems are currently skewed against such change. Reappointment, promotion, and tenure criteria need to be adjusted to align with these greater expectations for teaching and for the more time-consuming engagement with students that effective learning assessment requires. Given the limits of most doctoral programs, faculty and staff need better opportunities to learn more about appropriate assessment and how to implement it. And, of course, myriad pros and cons arise with the issue of comparing similar institutions to develop learning benchmarks. The task list above is hardly exhaustive. This kind of change, ultimately, may be less about expertise and more about will. Changing the academic culture requires sustained, shared, courageous leadership by faculty, staff, administration, and governing boards. Anything less invites those outside the academy to act as referees, which is never good for either the academy or the NFL. Richard H. Hersh, formerly president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Trinity College (Hartford), currently serves as senior consultant for Keeling & Associates, LLC, a higher education consulting practice. Richard P. Keeling, formerly a faculty member and senior student affairs administrator at the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, leads Keeling & Associates. Hersh and Keeling are the authors of a new book, We're Losing Our Minds: Rethinking American Higher Education (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012). Comments on the Commentaries about 'Seven Red Herrings'Oct 16, 2012 8:30 am300 views I am pleased to accept the invitation to briefly respond to some of the points made by those who commented on my "Seven Red Herrings" paper which appeared in the September 2012 issue of the NILOA monthly newsletter. In his Foreword, Peter Ewell predicted that the merits and role of standardized testing will almost certainly continue to be debated. With this in mind, I also offer a few thoughts about what to expect in the future. Trudy Banta, Gary Pike, and Terrel Rhodes view the promise and potential of standardized testing differently than Margaret Miller and Gordon Davies. Miller sees standardized measures as essential, because the field demands highly reliable and valid assessment tools. At the same time, she believes formative assessment is important as well, albeit for different purposes. Davies goes a step further by saying that colleges and universities must use standardized student learning outcomes measures to assure the public of that these institutions continue to make meaningful, valued contributions both to individuals and the larger society. Banta and Pike represent the formative end of the assessment continuum. Most of the arguments they presented in their commentary about standardized assessment measures, particularly the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA), have appeared previously. Many of their points have been addressed by CLA staff, the Educational Testing Service (ETS), and other researchers, including a summary of approximately 90 studies (Benjamin, et al. 2012). Although my paper was not about the CLA per se, it is worth summarizing several cogent responses available elsewhere to the Banta and Pike's main arguments. For example, average CLA value-added scores are highly reliable especially at the institution level (freshmen=.94; seniors=.86). Aggregate student motivation is not a significant predictor of aggregate CLA performance, and does not invalidate the comparison of colleges based upon CLA scores. Moreover, the types of incentives that students seem to prefer are not related to motivation and performance. Although we continue to believe that a no-stakes approach is appropriate for the value-added model in higher education, motivation is a problem for individual student results. CAE (Council for Aid to Education) now offers a version of the CLA protocol, CLA+, which is reliable and valid for individual student performance, as does the Education Testing Service with its Proficiency Profile, and the American College Testing Program with its Collegiate Assessment of Academic Progress. It may well be appropriate in the future to attach stakes to the CLA, which, in turn, likely will increase student motivation to do well. There is no interaction between CLA task content and field of study. Our researchers find that the CLA protocol measures 30% of the knowledge and skills faculty desire. Results are improved significantly if a representative sample is drawn. Finally, that the CLA is highly correlated with the SAT does not mean the two tests measure the same thing. High school grades combined with the CLA predict freshmen and senior GPA at about the same level as the SAT alone. High school grades plus the SAT and CLA generate a higher prediction than either test alone. This would not be true if the SAT and CLA measured the same thing. Banta and Pike are correct in advocating a focus on disciplines, but stray off track by rejecting that standardized test can accurately measure generic cognitive skills (Benjamin et al. 2012). The mean size effect of the growth in student learning outcomes for all colleges testing annually for the past eight years is approximately .73 standard deviations, demonstrating that college attendance is associated with improving these skills. Banta and Pike suggest there is qualitative evidence to buttress their claims. It would be helpful to know the evidence to which they refer. Measurement scientists privilege statistical-based evidence. This makes conversation between the two groups difficult. Elsewhere I (Benjamin, 2012) explained what I call the assumption of the equality of fields of inquiry. Faculty members are reluctant to question the legitimacy of fields of inquiry that they may not be familiar with. There are solid reasons for this assumption. For example, an obscure field of molecular biology in veterinary medicine focusing on retroviruses in monkeys was critical in helping researchers develop treatments for AIDS. Breakthroughs in one scientific field may lead to startling breakthroughs in others. Measurement science is a field of inquiry that is too well established to be dismissed by colleagues arguing for formative assessments only. For example, Banta and Pike and Rhodes make good arguments for using e-portfolios to assess student learning. However, e-portfolios do not yet pass muster as tools that are sufficiently reliable and valid to obviate the need for appropriate standardized tests for decisions with stakes attached. Both Davies and Miller want testing organizations to make public student outcome test results. What I should have said was that external demands will require institutions to make their student learning outcomes transparent and that peer review principles aligned with core values of the academy will provide foundational support for higher education leaders creating assessment reporting systems Peter Ewell noted that faculty prefer to keep assessment results confidential, for internal use only. It is worth noting that testing organizations can achieve greater economies of scale in test development which lowers the price of individual assessments. Aided by recent developments in education technology, there appears to be a burst of innovation in creating assessments for direct use by faculty as instructional tools. Finally, samples of students tested at individual institutions are seldom large enough for the results to be considered sufficiently reliable. More widely used standardized assessments can boost confidence in the results found at individual institutions. What We Can Expect The competency-based model now gaining considerable traction will require assessments that corroborate the efficacy of the student learning claimed. Many of those assessments will be standardized tests. There is and will continue to be ample room for formative and standardized tests in postsecondary education. The issue is how to better leverage the virtues of both, for the benefit of improved teaching and learning for the larger societal goals Davies posited. This, then, is not the time to defend the status quo. Many colleagues may be comfortable in defending positions that marginalize assessment in postsecondary education. Because increasing numbers of private and public leaders believe human capital is the nation's principal resource, debates about how to improve education will continue to grow. The rise of Internet-based education and concerns for the quality of higher education provided by more traditional means are fueling external demands for increased transparency, restructuring, and accountability. External demands for benchmarking student learning outcomes are destined to increase. However, higher education institutions possess a high level of legitimacy and relative autonomy anchored by department-based governance. The initial challenges for increased transparency of student learning outcomes will come from external forces. Responses to these demands will be developed by innovators within the higher education community. We need all hands on deck to experiment with ways to improve teaching and learning. Finally, higher education institutions must respond to persistent external demands for more systematic evidence about student learning outcomes. In doing so, the enterprise must also maintain faculty autonomy in determining appropriate assessment approaches; reject college and university ranking systems; privilege efforts to improve student learning; develop assessment protocols that combine standardized and formative assessments; and adhere to peer review principles when constructing accountability systems. About this last observation, there seems little to debate. References Benjamin, R. (2012). The new limits of education policy: Avoiding a tragedy of the commons. London: Edward Elgar. Benjamin, R.

Slow growing patio tree?
Any suggestions? I have had a Cercis in the pot for the past 4 or 5 years, but it is now too big and unhappy so I need a replacement. Appreciate any thoughts.
A dwarf Mulberry,Girardi only gets to about six feet and is fairly slow.Mine hasn't grown much in about two years,but put out quite a bit of tasty fruit.
I have a Black Beauty also and they take awhile,but can reach thirty feet but could be pruned.The one I have is in the ground and is still small.
I just looked up pictures of the Cercis.The Mulberries will not even compete with the beauty of that in bloom.
Another one is the Cornelian Cherry,Cornus mas.I like to grow fruit,so that's why I'm mentioning these.I've read a number of times,that they need two different varieties to cross pollinate,but mine does fine.It makes a nice container plant. Brady
Cornelian Cherry in the Spring
and the Summer
This post was edited by Bradybb on Sun, Feb 2, 14 at 20:10
Some of the taller, tree-like manzanitas are often grown in containers. Examples include Dr. Hurd, Austin Griffiths, and Monica. You'd want to use a ligher soil (I use "cactus mix"), drill extra holes into the bottom, and put the container up on 1/2" spacers to ensure good drainage.
The only potential problem might be hardiness. The above cultivars are hardy to somewhere between 0 and 5 F in the ground. In a container, I imagine that the roots might get into trouble with consecutive lows in the low teens. I don't know how close to the coast you are or what your climate is like up there.
Both of these look like good candidates. I'll check them out at my favorite nursery. I live on southern Vancouver Island, not far inland so we have a fairly mild climate, hot in the summer. Thanks for the suggestions.
If you want a pot to drain better you have the bottom in contact with the surface beneath it - otherwise water will "hesitate" before crossing the gap.
That is why a layer of rocks in the bottom of a pot makes the soil above wetter rather than drier, with the frequent result that the effective useful portion of the soil in a pot is the upper half only. Drainage sensitive kinds like rhododendrons often come out of pots with no roots in the bottom half for this reason.
The bottom of the pot acts as a barrier to drainage, with or without a layer of gravel above it.
Due to its vigorous growth and angularity of branching I do not find 'Jacqueline Hillier' easy to keep in a smaller space than it wants to occupy at all.
An easily obtained one that does make an interesting container specimen is the [Twisty Baby] = 'Lace Lady' black locust. In the ground it takes off but in a pot it produces a "living sculpture" of modest size - the promotion of its behavior under such circumstances having generated confusion over its growth potential when released from confinement.

Agreed that rocks in the bottom of the pot are no good. And while it certainly helps to have an object wick water away from the drainage hole(s) of your pot, you really do need good air flow underneath the pot if you're growing a plant that's sensitive to root moisture in the summer (like manzanitas). Placing a pot directly on the ground will deter evaporation from the bottom of the pot and cause problems. Additional holes in the bottom of the pot aid evaporation. It would probably be best to have the pot on spacers with a small object underneath the pot making contact with the soil above the center drainage hole. Mixing extra gravel into your potting soil helps with drainage as well.
See the info on pots and drainage here:
Also, if you're growing a plant that likes dry conditions in the summer, classic terracotta pots work really well because they're gas-permeable. Glazed pots look nicer, but they retain a lot more moisture.
This post was edited by OregonGrape on Tue, Feb 4, 14 at 18:13
Water stops when it encounters a difference, backs up until field capacity (saturation) is reached, then crosses the area of difference.
You also want pot bottoms in direct contact with the ground so that soil warmth helps protect the soil inside the pot from low temperatures - a plant container not in contact with the ground gets colder.
Soil retains moisture in the bottom of a container when it's in constant contact with the ground and evaporation is not allowed to occur. That may be OK for many plants, but not drought-tolerant natives in the summer. Again, read what the experts have to say:
The way to avoid freezing roots in the winter is to move the pot a warmer location, not to leave it on the frozen ground.
My own experience in growing California salvias and manzanitas in containers tells me that the advice from the "commercial nursery" is spot-on, and that your methodology as applied to such drought-tolerant plants results in root rot and death.
You need to get past the notion that you know everything about everything, and that anybody who disagrees is wrong. Your attitude does this forum a disservice.
Why not have several trees? You could put them at center display when they're at their best and rotate them to the background at other times. To make it even more interesting pick some trees that require some artful pruning to hi-light their attributes... blooms, Fall color, bark, etc.
That way you could have a Plant of the Month, or quarter, or season.
Eeldip, I like that Elm. I've never seen one of that variety before. Very interesting.
Manzanita would be a fun plant to grow. I have one planted out where it doesn't fit in my garden. I should have put it in a container and isolated it on the deck where I could prune it to look like an old growth, well grown Madrona. I know they don't move well, but in my case it might be worth a try.
I have a Mountain Hemlock, Tsuga, mertensiana, that makes for a good deck tree. It's very slow growing in a container, especially if you limit the container's size. The one pictured below is well over 25 years old and in that container since it was a one gallon size.
This one needs more pruning to make it more interesting. Make it look like it has been growing in an area with strong winds from one direction, somewhat similar to what it would experience in a lot of areas where it grows. Pruning at this scale is a lot of creative fun with very little work and cleanup.
Mike....sooo many choices!
I have a Tsuga mertensiana in the ground and have thought about purchasing another one to grow in a container on my deck. It is a fantastic small tree (small near sea level, at least).
I've heard that Western red cedar does well in containers as well.
I think I would like a deciduous tree, preferably one that has interesting form and colour. There are so many evergreens around here that I don't really want more. Unless they have a form or colour that adds lots of interest. Perhaps a chartreuse green colour.
I like eeldip's suggestion but have not yet visited my nursery to see whether they think some of these suggestions will do well here. It's great to have you all help me choose.

I was wondering if anyone has brewed the PM Chocolate Raspberry Stout from Austin Homebrew Supply? If so what did you think?
I have done a chocolate cherry stout from extract and real sour cherries with dark chocolate. It was very good. I did not use mixed gas to carbonate it . Should it be carbed with c02 then switched to mix 75 nit 25 c02 when serving or carbed with mix from the very start of carbonation????
Somebody posted about this a few weeks ago... I kegged the AG version yesterday and pitched another beer onto the 1028 cake. It's one of my favorite homebrews, this is the first time I've made it myself but I've had it several times at the club meeting brewed by other folks. This recipe wins lots of medals at comps too.
I thought I was having some weird episode but I wasn't.....http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/choc...y-stout-98237/
I just primaried my AHS DC stout with some raspberry extract thrown in at flame out. (Yes I know people say to do it in the secondary blah blah)
So far it smells wonderful and I have heard nothing but good reviews on this beer.
My thoughts - DOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEETTTT!
Ergo Bibo Sum - I drink, therefore I am.
Eggo Bibo Sum - I drink, therefore I waffle.

Anixter to acquire Tri-Ed for $420M
Anixter announced Monday that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Tri-Ed for $420 million.
Anixter has announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire security products distributor Tri-Ed from Audax Group for $420 million. The deal is expected to close near the end of the third quarter and will be financed using available cash and borrowings under a new term loan that is expected to be entered into prior to closing, according to a statement issued by the company.
Based in Woodbury, N.Y., Tri-Ed serves four major product segments of the security industry – video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and fire/life safety – and provides 110,000 products to a network of more than 20,000 dealers and integrators. The company employs more than 600 people across 63 locations in the U.S. and Canada. Tri-Ed generated $570 million in sales and $36 million in adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) over the last 12 months ending June 30, 2014.
"As we talk about regularly in our earnings calls, growing our security platform both organically and inorganically has been a strategic priority for Anixter," Bob Eck, Anixter's president and CEO, said in a conference call discussing the acquisition on Monday. "Consequently, we are extremely excited to announce this transaction consistent with our long-held vision to create a leading global security distributor across video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and fire and life safety product categories."
Eck said that the acquisition would broaden the product offerings available to Anixter customers in the aforementioned categories. Additionally, Eck said the deal will bring Anixter's expertise in the area of IP video to Tri-Ed, whose business has focused on small and mid-sized systems integrators and customers, which also complement's Anixter's enterprise-focused business.
"In addition, Tri-Ed provides Anixter with exposure to the residential end market at an attractive time in the recovery cycle. With a large geographic footprint in North America, Tri-Ed' value-added services approach and technical sales capabilities are consistent with Anixter's customer-focused service model," added Eck. "We believe this is a milestone transaction that will provide Anixter with access to new products, solutions, vendors, and customers - accelerate profitable growth for Anixter and create an even stronger platform for sustainable, long-term growth."
Although Tri-Ed does have some expertise in IP video given its previous acquisition of Northern Video, Eck said that it is a small percentage of their overall business and they more heavily involved in the analog side of the market. "What we think is if you take our lab capability, our engineering capability with a pretty broad presence, frankly globally, and you add that into what Tri-Ed does today, you come up with this really interesting mix of a very strong IP capability along with a very strong analog capability and these other product segments which I think for the combined customer bases of the two organizations will be really compelling," said Eck.
When it comes to the residential market, Eck said that Anixter isn't changing its strategy to pursue the market, but rather the acquisition helps them get into it by providing them with a way tap into the integrator community that serves it.
"We have not been trying to avoid the market, we just simply haven't had a good entree into it and Tri-Ed brings that," said Eck. "And a critical piece, by the way, is that we entered the market with video surveillance, particularly IP-based video surveillance, as our entry into the market. We don't have a strong presence in the intrusion and fire/life safety, which is a big part of the residential market, so what happens with this acquisition is that in the commercial space, we end up with a very compelling set of products and services across a broad customer base and then we end up entering the residential space… so it's not so much targeting residential, but another subset of the integrator community."
While it has yet to be determined exactly how Tri-Ed will be integrated into Anixter's operations, Pat Comunale, Tri-Ed's president and CEO, said that the combined companies will boast quite a substantial footprint across the North American security industry once the deal closes.
"I think it is probably too soon to tell how the combination will look, but I can tell you the businesses are complementary and I think there is a nice overlap when the two business to come together. But again, right now, it is business as usual for the customers and vendors until the transaction closes sometime in September hopefully," said Comunale in an interview with SIW. "When you look at the business today, Tri-Ed has 61 locations with five greenfields that will open in the September-October timeframe, as well as two technical support centers and this in conjunction to what Anixter has will make for a very good combination."
Comunale also agreed that Anixter would really help bolster Tri-Ed's position in the network video market.
"Anixter is known as a leader in IP technology. Tri-Ed, up until 2010 when we acquired Northern Video, we were very much a traditional security distributor and by that I mean we sold a mix of both intrusion, fire, access control and cable," said Comunale. "Northern Video actually had a fair amount of technical capability in the IP space. Anixter is really the leader in IP and you bring Tri-Ed into the fold, now you have a combined business that is let's call it supercharged in IP, as well as a general line distributor servicing all aspects of the security space."
When asked if Tri-Ed's branch locations would be rebranded under the Anixter name, Comunale said that it is "too soon" to tell and that those announcements will more than likely come after the acquisition closes. Comunale added that he expects Anixter will not only continue the educational programs that Tri-Ed has established for its dealer and integrator customers, but will probably expand upon them.
According to Ted Dosch, Anixter's executive vice president of finance and CFO, this transaction is the largest in the company's 57-year history and only the second acquisition ever in its' $1 billion-plus security business.
"We have consistently emphasized that security is one of our key strategic growth initiatives and one our highest M&A priorities and this acquisition is a testament to our commitment to grow our security business," said Dosch.
