When the 2012 Grammy Award nominations were announced recently, Ian Bostridge's name was prominent on the list — in the category of Best Classical Vocal Solo, for his EMI CD Three Baroque Tenors. It's Bostridge's twelfth Grammy nomination, and he's won twice before — a remarkable achievement for an artist who spends most of his artistic life quite outside the classical-music mainstream.
I heard Bostridge most recently on November 28, when he appeared in recital at Carnegie Hall accompanied at the piano by composer Thomas Adès. It was a strange — also strangely memorable — evening that I'm still puzzling over to some extent. Bostridge has always spiked his recitals with peculiar poses and lurches about the stage that often make it difficult to determine exactly what his specific motivation might be. He did so again at the Carnegie Hall performance, and he was matched moment by moment by Adès, who attacked the keyboard almost ferociously at times, punching out individual notes rather than sculpting phrases. One odd detail about Adès's playing: he often picked up one hand from the keyboard and stared at it momentarily, as if he was surprised that it had shown up for the performance. The overall effect was that the music sometimes seemed pulled instead of merely allowed to take shape. This unnerved me most of all during their performance of Schumann's Dichterliebe which has to go down as one of the most eccentric performances of this cycle I've ever heard. The entire recital was built around the theme of loss and personal isolation, so many of their choices made sense dramatically. Yet underneath it all, I had a strong feeling — which I'm encountering in performance more and more these days — that the artists onstage weren't particularly interested in bringing the audience into the experience of portraying alienation. For me, the high point was Dowland's magnificent "In Darkness Let Me Dwell." I couldn't help but wish that more of the recital had managed to be so chillingly desolate and illuminating at the same time.

Singer Sarah Brightman to become space tourist (Update)
British singer Sarah Brightman revealed on Wednesday that Russia will launch her as a space tourist to the International Space Station (ISS) in a multi-million dollar voyage aimed at "realising dreams".
The soprano and crossover singer, 52, would be the first tourist to go into space after a hiatus in the space tourism programme since 2009, on a ticket costing tens of millions of dollars.
"I am planning to become a space flight participant," Brightman, who had her first hit with a 1970s disco anthem "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper", told a news conference in Moscow.
The schedule for her flight "will be determined very shortly by (Russian space agency) Roscosmos and the ISS partners," she added.
Brightman, known for her roles in West End musicals such as "The Phantom of the Opera", added she had been approved medically and will do six months training in Russia.
The commercial flights to the ISS for space tourists are organised through US-based company Space Adventures, whose chairman Eric Anderson accompanied Brightman in Moscow.
"My journey is about realising aims and dreams," the UNESCO artist for peace said.
She later told AFP: "I will be the first (musician in space) and would like to experiment and see how I can sing from space and I would like to connect with the Earth in some way."
The singer said she had yet to choose which song she would perform in space.
Brightman rose to fame in the 1980s with roles in the wildly popular musicals of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who became her husband. Theydivorced in 1990.
Alexei Krasnov, head of human spaceflight at Roscosmos, said that the task of taking Brightman into space is "fully achievable in the nearest future" and confirmed that she had no medical problems.
He refused to give the exact price of Brightman's ticket as a paying passenger, saying it is a "big, huge sum counted in the tens of millions of dollars."
Brightman said she underwent a medical assessment in July in Russia's legendary Star City, where astronauts and cosmonauts train amid Soviet-era mosaics and monuments to Yuri Gagarin.
"For me just as an artist it was like walking and going through an experience in art, really. they've just kept everything as it was," she said.
The training included undergoing G-force testing up to a point called ballistic entry on a centrifuge apparatus.
"It's a little like feeling you have an elephant on your chest and you somehow have to find a way of breathing and staying conscious," she said.
Krasnov told journalists that Brightman could fly in October 2015, which the singer confirmed to AFP as an approximate date.
"That was my sort of understanding—a little bit earlier. Obviously they are creating all of their dates at the moment."
Previous space tourists visiting the ISS on a total of eight trips have included the Canadian founder of the Cirque du Soleil, Guy Laliberte, and Iranian-American entrepreneur Anousheh Ansari, so far the only woman.
Russia stopped taking space tourists in 2009 because of lack of room in its cramped three-person Soyuz space capsules that ferry astronauts to the ISS.
But Space Adventures said last year that it had signed a deal with the Russian space agency for three commercial passengers to book seats to the ISS per year as Russia plans to increase the number of Soyuz flights.
The last space tourist was Laliberte, who returned to Earth in October 2009 after an 11-day flight.
The first space tourist, Denis Tito, travelled to the ISS in 2001. All together, seven space tourists have taken part in missions.
Laliberte did not reveal the cost of his ticket, but his predecessor, US software pioneer Charles Simonyi, paid $35 million for his trip.

Members of the Einstein community who recently have visited the D. Samuel Gottesman Library have been treated to a special exhibit – "The Literature of Prescription: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and 'The Yellow Wall-Paper'" – provided to the library by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The exhibit delves into the late nineteenth century, a time when women were excluded from political and intellectual life and medical experts drew on notions of female weakness to justify inequality between the sexes.
More specifically, the exhibit focuses on Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an influential advocate for women's rights and a prolific author who, at one time, sought out medical advice after experiencing profound unhappiness as a wife and mother. Through the exhibit, one can explore Gilman's family life, as well as her career as an author and her time spent as a patient.
Ms. Gilman's doctor, nerve specialist, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, who proposed a "rest cure" for her discontentedness, is also featured in the exhibit. His prescribed "rest cure" for nervous exhaustion – which prohibited Ms. Gilman from reading, writing or even speaking to others – served as the inspiration for her story, "The Yellow Wall-Paper," a classic piece of feminist literature about a young woman driven mad by similar circumstances.
"It's been great to see visitors to the library stop and enjoy the exhibit," said Racheline Habousha, director of the D. Samuel Gottesman Library and Knowledge Services. "They often leave discussing how interesting it was." An attending physician from Jacobi was particularly pleased when she saw the exhibit because her senior thesis as an undergraduate at Williams College was about Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Founded in 1836, the NLM is the world's largest biomedical library and, through its exhibition program, strives to promote public awareness and a greater understanding of how the past informs the present and can shape the future with regard to medicine, science and history. The NLM exhibits are made available free of charge to both the public and participating institutions, and the current exhibit is the third from the NLM that Einstein's library staff has installed. Previous exhibits offered at Einstein have focused on contemporary African American academic surgeons, and on the science, magic and medicine of Harry Potter novels.
"In years to come, we plan to host other NLM exhibits," noted Aurelia Minuti, head of reference & educational services at the library. "We hope the Einstein community will find these future offerings as interesting and informative as 'The Literature of Prescription.'"
Such exhibits will include the contributions of African Americans to medical care during the Civil War; stories of the community groups that are currently making a difference in global health; and the role played by the four humors in several plays by William Shakespeare. "The Literature of Prescription: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and 'The Yellow Wall-Paper'" will remain on display on the main floor of the library through Wednesday, July 12, 2013.

At this writing, I am on Mom's couch in Boise, Idaho. The fire, she is raging. And as Steve & Eydie once said, baby, it's cold outside.
Though the locals seem to feel an overnight low of 21 degrees is really not so chilly. I'm embarrassed, in fact, to be wearing both a scarf and reddened cheeks.
It's hard to believe that 24 hours ago I was at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas gala opening. I scrambled from there to McCarran International Airport, a stop in Portland (the one in Oregon, thankfully), then Boise, home of the most star-crossed 11-1 football team in NCAA history. But for the conversion of a 26-yard field goal in Reno …
In an unlikely turn of events, Boise State will be in Vegas in a few days, playing in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl against the Utah Utes, while this Vegas person who would love to be at that game is in Boise. I have never seen the Las Vegas Bowl live. I have always been in Idaho when it has been played. In another quirk of personal positioning, I was in the crowd at the last time BSU was knocked off on the Smurf Turf, in December 2005, when the Broncos were dumped by Boston College 27-21 in a heavily sleeted Humanitarian Bowl at Bronco Stadium.
That said, or written, I have still hold warm memories of the Cosmopolitan opening, lo so many hours ago in Las Vegas. As I told the eminent Alexandra Berzon, one of the dignitaries I encountered during Wednesday's throw-open-the-doors shindig, I've been lucky enough to have attended quite a few resort openings since moving to Vegas in 1996 (the weekend the Stratosphere opened, as it happened). This was among the most entertaining, no doubt. I've got photos to prove it, too, from the terrace of my room on the 58th floor, looking out at bedazzled Strip, to a cool poolside performance by Brandon Flowers.
Let us enjoy, shall we? And keep warm, sports fans.

Pac-12 women's coaches teleconference: It's tourney time
Charli Turner Thorne isn't happy with her team's finish to the regular season, Scott Rueck's women are "dialed in" and Cal is No. 1 in the country in clapping and chanting. These musings and more from Tuesday's Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament teleconference with the teams' head coaches:
Arizona State's Charli Turner Thorne
Turner Thorne did not mince words about her team's 0-2 trip to Oregon to conclude the season. "We didn't play well either game," she said. "[Against Oregon State] we were horrible; we didn't execute anything we talked about."
Turner Thorne would have liked Arizona State to finish as the No. 2 or No. 3 seed so as to avoid No. 1 Stanford as long as possible, but she isn't being picky right now. "At this point you're like 'Hey, bring it on,' right?"
On her team's toughness: "We want to get it back. We want to get back to not letting things bother us… We want to play great team basketball for 40 minutes."

Arizona's Niya Butts
A lot of coaches were asked about what it would take to beat Stanford this year, and Butts was one of them. She pointed out that it's almost impossible to take Pac-12 Player and Defensive Player of the Year Chiney Ogwumike out of the game and that it would take two halves of good basketball.
On what she wants her team to get done in the Pac-12 tournament: "You always hope to finish tall and hope to go out and have a good showing… [We want to] put together two halves of good basketball."

Colorado's Linda Lappe
The Buffmaster pointed to injuries as a major reason why Colorado is staring at a No. 9 seed in the Pac-12 tournament a year removed from making the NCAA tournament. The loss of Chucky Jeffery from last season also hurt. "[Chucky] did a lot for us in scoring and passing and [with] the energy she brought," Lappe said.
Consistency has also been an issue. "It has been tough for us to put together two good games and even at times two halves," she said, further pointing out that her team needs to have the right mindset to try to string together a couple of good games in the tourney.

Utah's Anthony Levrets
Levrets has become good friends with Washington coach Mike Neighbors, and it just so happens that the two will face each other in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament. Since Levrets has also made the move from assistant to head coach at the same school, Neighbors sought advice from Utah's head man. "The biggest thing is you can't change everything, you have to do what you think is right," Levrets said about the advice he gave to Neighbors. "You can't be somebody else… You gotta trust in yourself that you're going to make the decision that is right for your group."
The Utes are 0-2 against the Dawgs, but both losses came by one point. Reflecting on the losses, he said that one single possession didn't cost his team; it's about doing things better overall. "We've been good enough to compete but we haven't been good enough to finish," he said. "Hopefully we do things we did against Washington just a little bit better."

Washington State's June Daugherty
The Cougars split the season series with the Ducks (their first opponent in the tourney), with the home teams securing sizable victories. "They're talented and they play so hard. It's going to be an exciting game," Daugherty said of Oregon.
Daugherty listed three keys to playing Oregon and Paul Westhead's fast-paced attack: Limiting turnovers so the Ducks don't get easy scoring opportunities, securing defensive rebounds (Oregon outrebounded Washington State by 24 in Oregon's victory; Wazzu outboarded the Ducks by four in the Cougs' win) and getting back defensively in transition.
Although she is a junior, this is Tia Presley's first time playing in the Pac-12 tournament, as her last two seasons have been cut short by injury. "She is so excited to play in the Pac-12 tournament in Seattle," Daugherty said of the Cougar guard.

Washington's Mike Neighbors
There have been a ton of good freshmen in the Pac-12 this season, which is why Mike Neighbors thinks Kelsey Plum's Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honor is such a big accomplishment. "I hope she'll sit back one time and really appreciate what she accomplished," Neighbors said.
If anybody has the blueprint for beating Stanford, it's this guy. However, he was cautious in saying that what his team did to the Card in Seattle is a guaranteed recipe for success. "I don't think what we did that night [against Stanford] works every night. We took a calculated risk by letting them shoot three-pointers, and they didn't happen to make them," Neighbors said. This allowed the Dawgs to continue packing it in, thus making it difficult for the Card guards to find Chiney Ogwumike.
Washington was also very good offensively against Stanford: The Huskies shot 41 percent from three and 47 percent overall against the Cardinal in that 87-82 victory in Seattle (Stanford returned the favor Thursday by beating the Huskies 83-60 on The Farm). "Since [we beat Stanford], they have played a defensive lineup and they've become really hard to score against. You're going to have to be good on offense [to beat Stanford]."

USC's Cynthia Cooper
Cooper is working with her team on closing out games, and it's working as of late: After losing six of eight, the Women of Troy swept their road swing to Utah and Colorado to close out the regular season. "We're starting to develop that killer instinct," she said.
On trying to find consistency to win four games in four days (USC enters the tourney as the No. 5 seed): "You just take it one game at a time and try to have some recovery measures," she said. "You prepare yourself all year to get ready for this tournament." Cooper also mentioned she'd like it if there was a day in between the second and third rounds to help with rest and recovery, "but this is the schedule," she concluded.

UCLA's Cori Close
The injury bug has bit UCLA hard this year, at times playing with just seven able bodies. To try to conserve energy with such a short bench and with hopes of making a long run in the Pac-12 tournament, Close mentioned that her team might play a little more zone than usual and perhaps won't press as much as they usually do during the regular season.
While the season has been disappointing from a win-loss standpoint due to all the injuries, Close has been encouraged by the team's growth and thinks that the underclassmen's high regard for seniors Thea Lemberger and Atonye Nyingifa could lead to a special finish. "Thea Lemberger and Atonye Nyingifa have earned the respect of our teammates, and I think there is a lot of power in that," Close said. "The job of the underclassmen is to keep fighting so [the seniors' careers] can be extended… I think you'll see our team compete incredibly hard and fight for our seniors."

Oregon State's Scott Rueck
The Beavers enter the Pac-12 tournament as the hottest team in the conference, having won nine straight games. "I think the wins are a byproduct of playing right all the time," Rueck said. "One of the strongest attributes of this team is their consistency, especially with a young team. I think we've played extremely efficient since mid-January."
According to Charlie Creme, the Beavers are one of the last four teams in the NCAA tournament in his latest bracketology projections. Luckily, Rueck says, his team has been very focused on the task at hand. "I haven't needed to give a motivational speech in more than a month, they're so dialed in," he said.
[Right click and "Save Link As" to download audio of Scott Rueck's full session]
Oregon's Paul Westhead
Westhead expects a close one with Washington State this time around now that the game will be played on a neutral court. "This is probably going to come down to the last three or four possessions – up two or down two," Westhead said. "You go to your fire at the very end and we're pretty evenly matched so I think it's going to be a terrific game."
When asked about what is his team's biggest struggle to get wins, Westhead turned his attention to the defensive end. "Most games we play pretty darn good, especially offensively. We're running our break to score enough to win," he said. "You get caught late in a game where you give up too much defensively and the offense can't sustain [its production]."
[Right click and "Save Link As" to download audio of Paul Westhead's full session]
Cal's Lindsay Gottlieb
Gottlieb expects Brittany Boyd to play in the Pac-12 tournament after being held out of the lineup against Washington in the regular season finale due to a mild knee sprain. "She is the toughest and most competitive kid I've seen. She probably could have gone Saturday if I let her," Gottlieb said.
The Cal coach also had great things to say about her fellow Pac-12 head coaches, pointing out the jobs Scott Rueck and Charli Turner Thorne did, in particular.
The Golden Bears play with a lot of swag and are one of the most animated teams in the nation when it comes to pregame handshakes and dances. "We're definitely No. 1 in the nation in clapping and chanting… Those moves all come from me," Gottlieb quipped.

Some management companies forbid renters from smoking inside homes – not outside – and put the stricture into the lease.
This is a corrected version of an earlier story.
Renter alert. Smoking can hit you where you live.
That's especially true if you lease out a single-family home, a major chunk of the Wilmington-area rental market.
In fact, some management companies here forbid renters from smoking inside the homes – not outside – and put the stricture into the lease.
It's a trend that's starting to appear nationwide, experts said, though restrictions on apartment dwellers are far less common than on renters of houses.
Major U.S. apartment manager Related Cos. is going smoke-free in all of its properties, said Rick Haughey, vice president of property operations and technology at the National Multi-Housing Council trade group. But they tend to be in denser urban markets like New York and Chicago, he added. Related has no apartments in the Wilmington area.
Such companies also are targeting the upper end of the rental market, Haughey said.
Headwaters at Autumn Hall has non-smoking buildings – most in demand by potential tenants – said assistant manager Yates Galarde. The complex, which is 93 percent leased, also bans smoking on the outside or inside of the clubhouse or anywhere by the pool, she said.
But Bell Partners, which manages 2,455 units in nine communities in Wilmington and 70,000 total, doesn't restrict smoking in the units, said Kevin Thompson, senior vice president of marketing at the Greensboro-based company. "However, we do have non-smoking areas."
In-unit smoking restrictions have much to do with cost and maintenance, local managers said.
"Once you've smoked in the unit it gets into the duct work, stains the paint work and gets into the carpet," said Karen Parkin, who owns Wilmington's Best Rentals, whose units range from $650 to $2,800 a month. Smoking isn't allowed in any of the units it manages, she added, and "we haven't had an issue with anybody fighting it."
In fact, owners prefer the restriction, she said
"We are going to charge (tenants) to have HVAC service to clean and deodorize" if they violate the rule, Parkin said, adding that a lot of potential tenants ask in advance whether the units had smokers or pets in them.
Indeed, it's a potential marketing advantage for apartment complexes in some types of communities and in some markets, Haughey said.
"What we are seeing in properties that are (going smoke-free) is they are phasing it in with new leases – slowly turning over and becoming smoke-free," he said. "Some larger properties are doing some smoke-free.
"A lot of it is a decision based on the market and the product" and whether, for instance, smoking is prevalent, Haughey continued. "We're starting to see the first round of turnovers in the higher market."
But going smoke-free here is slower to catch on.
Maryann Hanna, regional property manager for Phillips Management Group, which is based in Greensboro, said smoking restrictions might catch on in new construction, but the firm doesn't ban smoking in its units.
David Sweyer of Century 21 Sweyer & Associates also said smoke-free would work better in new construction. The brokerage has two apartment complexes and has no anti-smoking rules because they are hard to enforce, he said.
It's a different story for single-family homes. Sweyer manages more than 1,300 units. A smoking ban is in the lease for houses, he said.
Roanoke, Va.-based University Housing Group, which is finishing its 228-unit Carolina Cove complex here, tries to group smokers.
"We try to create smoker and non-smoker buildings," said Wes Bradley, the company's president. "We have designated smoking areas," he said, adding that smoking is not allowed in the clubhouse or amenity areas.
"There are fewer and fewer smokers," Bradley said. "It's a matter of time before you see such bans from properties."

In Whitchurch, or Felton, Somerset, "the name Filton, or Felton, is derived from a very old town situated to the north-west of the present village, in a forest or chace once called Filwood: a church having been erected on the site of an ancient chapel dedicated to St. White." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

A few weeks ago, one of the biggest events in recent history in electronic trading happened and most people didn't even know it. That's because it occurred without any significant operational impacts and was executed to the highest standards of quality our customers and our partners expect and rely on from CME Group.
On August 26, we began the first phase of the CME Globex performance updates, which as of this past weekend are now complete. We have now entered an entirely new chapter in the evolution of Globex since its launch in 1992. You read a lot about speed these days, and CME Globex is fast (the first phase of the Globex performance release had a median inbound latency of 52 microseconds from the router to the match engine).
But as we've written before, just like IQ is a threshold measure in predicting wealth, it takes more than one element to be successful and a leader. Customers around the world tell us time and time again that they don't just care about how many orders can be processed in the blink of an eye or the transparency of performance metrics – they need liquidity on global benchmark products, operational excellence, and customer margin efficiency.
This latest set of performance enhancements follows a long-standing emphasis on strong risk management practices and trading controls. Just as brakes on a car allow it to go faster, we have long focused on our trading controls introducing stop-spike logic in 2004, the CME Globex Credit Controls system in 2008, and the CME Risk Management Interface in the first quarter of 2012 to allow FCMs to block and cancel orders.
The latest release was rooted in feedback from customers and focused on the real driving factors of electronic trading today, which is not speed, but efficiency, effectiveness and market integrity. We achieved this by focusing on value and the customer experience with increased capacity, consistency and predictability of our platform.
During the process of rolling out changes, we focused on consistent inbound order entry, predictable outbound market data dissemination, and deterministic processing of outbound order entry messages relative to market data. The results exceeded our targets (all data in microseconds from the trade date of October 15, 2012):
- Inbound order entry latency variability of 39 microseconds. (Median latency relative to the 95% latency of the egress of CME Globex router through the iLink Gateway to the ingress of the CME Globex match engine)
- Outbound market data dissemination latency variability of 58 microseconds (Median latency relative to the 95 percent latency of the egress of the match engine to the egress of the MDP Gateway)
- 99 percent of outbound market data dissemination latency outside of the engine within 10 microseconds of 99 percent of outbound order entry latency outside of the engine
Globex also provides a high level of performance and functionality with our implied trading capabilities, 10 matching algorithms, near 24-hour trading, industry-standard FIX order entry and market data interfaces, global network backbone facilitating 20 percent of Globexvolume outside of U.S. trading hours, and CME Globex hosting or global order routing to eight premier global partner exchanges.
CME Group is committed to providing a fair, reliable, consistent and predictable trading experience for all customers and trading interfaces. In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to execute against our defined roadmap to increase the predictability of order entry, market data and order entry relative to market data.
While trading speed matters, low latency is a necessary byproduct of a solution focused primarily on market integrity – one that includes a predictable trading environment in liquid markets.
Isn't that a solution that any market participant would want?

What is Zeal?
Zeal for Life is an all-in-one nutritional drink. Zeal is a synergistic blend of whole food concentrates providing a source of nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins that enrich, restore, and protect your body at the cellular* level.
What can Zeal be mixed with?
Many people prefer the simplicity of mixing Zeal with water. However, many people mix Zeal Wellness with juice or blend into a shake. Do not mix Zeal with hot beverages, as the heat will destroy some of the effectiveness.
Is Zeal Certified Organic?
Where do the ingredients in Zeal come from?
We source the raw ingredients from all over the world and ship them to our US-based manufacturing facility. Most of the nutrients are naturally occurring and we do fortify Zeal with a few essential vitamins that do not occur in the raw ingredients.
What are the sources of the vitamin D and vitamin Bs in Zeal?
The sources for the vitamins are as listed*:
- Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
- Vitamin B3 (niacinamide)
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5 phosphate)
- Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin)
We don't state that a particular vitamin comes from a specific source, e.g., broccoli or rice bran, because that is not a standardized supplement facts claim.
Why are ZEAL beverages now being described and marketed as Classic or Vegan?
There are now two different formulas for Zeal and this is the best way to categorize and tell them apart for Consultants and Customers worldwide. It is also important to simplify the terms used for Zeal products if and when the line expands.
What is the difference between Zeal Classic and Vegan formulas?
- Zeal Classic represents the original formula launched in 2011 and comes in three flavors: Wild Berry, Lemon Lime and Kiwi Watermelon. It is not gluten free, vegan or kosher.
- Our Vegan formula has slightly different ingredients in order to meet current gluten free, vegan and kosher certification standards. The Zeal Vegan formula used to be referred to as the harmonized formula that launched in early 2016. It is offered in three flavors: Bold Grape, Tropic Dream and Wild Berry.

With the Christmas season upon us, many folks have already spent $50 to $100 dollars for a dead, cut Christmas tree, or perhaps dragged their plastic version out of storage. While there is something to be said about having a traditional cut tree such as a blue spruce or Douglas fir, it is hard for me to fathom spending that much money on a dead tree you will only enjoy a few weeks. If you are one of those folks that have procrastinated and not gotten the tree up yet, you might want to think about some alternatives that will work for Christmas morning, but also give you lasting enjoyment in your landscape for years to come.>> read "Christmas Tree Alternatives" #Holiday: Christmas #Decorating #Trees
Autumn is the time for football and to relish the most beautiful of our four seasons. Many trees have been waiting to show off their foliage. One of the great things about living where we do is the ever-changing seasons. For a few weeks, nature puts on one of its most spectacular displays as trees complete the growing season in a brilliant display of fall colors.>> read "Plant an Awesome Autumn: Trees for Fall Color" #Fall #Orange #Trees
Companion planting is the idea that certain plants attract beneficial insects and fix soil nutrients in the edible garden. It's not a dog-eat-dog world out there; it's a bug-eat-bug world that forms the food chain that feeds us.
Fresh fruit picked off your own trees is a hot horticultural pursuit these days. Homeowners envision delectable apples, pears, peaches, plums and cherries dripping from their trees. Well, truth be told, there's a lot of work that goes into those beautiful fruits. Bumps and blemishes from an army of fruit tree pests are the reality of the orchardist.
The term "canker" refers to a lesion on a twig, branch or stem, usually caused by a bacterial or fungal pathogen. The appearance of cankers varies, depending on the host and the pathogen. Often, the bark of the affected stem or trunk is sunken and discolored. Fluids may ooze from a canker or fungal fruiting structures may appear on the bark covering or surrounding the lesion. In some cases, lesions remain small and isolated, causing no major problems for the host plant. In other cases, the canker spreads widely, causing death of twigs, branches or even the main trunks of trees. The best known example of the destructive potential of a canker disease is chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Endothia parasitica, which caused the virtual extinction of the American chestnut within 40 years of its accidental introduction to the United States in about 1900.>> read "Cantankerous Cankers" #Disease #Pests #Trees
There are three reasons people don't plant magnolias anymore: 1) Everybody assumes "magnolia" means only the saucer magnolias (Magnolia x soulangeana) they remember from their youth, which, 2) ate all of Grandma's front yard, and 3) had its flowers blasted every third year by a frost. Now, listen to me carefully: These reasons are dumb.>> read "Those "Other" Magnolias" #Fragrant #Flowers #Trees
With surprising regularity, some poor schlep of a volunteer from a community garden – abuzz with visions of plump, perfect sweet cherries, heirloom apples, and sugar plums dancing in his or her head – will email me with a simple question that they expect will have a simple answer. The question is always some variation on this: "What apples, pears, and peaches would you recommend for a community orchard?" I wish I could see the looks on their faces when they get a big old heaping serving of attitude.>> read "Sweet Native Fruit Trees That Won't Leave You Bitter" #Fruit #Natives #Trees
You may hear people speak of them reverently. You might catch word of a "big tree," an important tree, a "Champion Tree." But trees don't compete for titles; they grow their own crowns and are made into trophies instead of receiving them. Trees do compete though. Rooting space, water, light, pollinators, producing many seeds, and so on are the prizes trees, by their nature, seek. It's the winners of these competitions that we humans notice and some of these winners are named Champion Trees.>> read "What Are Champion Trees?" #Trees
Add native trees to your landscape to help biodiversity
So what is a "native" tree? It can be any tree from a state or region. The deciduous trees considered for this article are native to North America, and once established, should grow and survive in their planted areas. Most are tough trees rarely affected by urban life and environmental issues.
Some gardeners seem highly interested and motivated to plant native trees. Native trees appear to adapt better to landscape environments compared to alternative species, and they help protect and restore biodiversity. Natives are effective for use in urban, suburban and rural developed landscapes.
Below are 15 trees to consider for your landscape or property with important notes and descriptions about each. I hope you carefully study these and consider planting a few in your property. They are durable yet functional native tree choices.
Plants are often subjected to stresses in the environment that are not results of insects or diseases. These stresses are referred to as "abiotic" diseases. These abiotic disorders result in the plant being less vigorous and in many cases dying. The majority of these stress situations are the result of human activities.>> read "Abiotic Disorders in the Landscape" #Trees
Symptoms that aren't as serious as they look
As an arborist, I work with a lot of people who care deeply about their trees and shrubs. Almost once a week, I will get a call from someone who is alarmed that something new they've noticed on their tree might be a major problem. Sometimes it is a problem that needs help, but often it is something that looks bad, but isn't. Here are some of the common issues that arise.>> read "What? Me Worry?" #Disease #Pests #Trees
Gardening with columnar and fastigiate evergreens

For those of us who are fortunate enough to know the joys of gardening, we get to take advantage of this great variety when creating our own personal Eden. Two nearly identical groups of plants that are both fun to work with and practical, are columnar and fastigiate evergreens.>> read "The Tall and Skinny" #Landscaping #Trees

For the past three seasons, Alexander Wang's models have walked the runway with bare nails.
They're buffed and shine to perfection, but lack even a single layer of polish. So if Wang's going to change things up, he's going to do it as best he can, by introducing his own custom color.
The designer's teaming up with Sally Hansen for his fall show, during which he'll debut the new shade. But you'll have to wait even longer to get your hands on it yourself, it won't hit stores until early next year.

When I posted a short blurb a couple of days ago about my plans to scour the south shore of Long Island in the wake of Tropical Storm Hanna I had anticipated maybe finding a good tern or perhaps a shearwater near the shore. But after an hour or so of searching Jones Beach frustration started setting in and it seemed that I had wasted a predawn wakeup for not a single rarity (I felt even worse for the upstaters who had gotten up even earlier to get to the coast before sunrise). When the best birds to be found proved to be a single Royal Tern and a flock of 21 migrating Bobolinks, well, we were not happy.
When Tom Burke called to let us know that he had secondhand reports of Sooty Terns offshore of Robert Moses State Park we piled in and headed east to see if we could track them down. We never made it. Instead we raced further east, hoping against hope that the Magnificent Frigatebird that had been spotted by Angus Wilson a full hour's drive east at Mecox would still be riding the wind overhead by the time we arrived (thank goodness for cellphones). As we (and I suppose I should detail the we: me, Chrissy Guarino, Jory Langner, Rich Guthrie, and Peter Schoenberger) raced east we got periodic updates letting us know the bird was still in place. Then we got there and got the familiar but dreaded news that makes every birder cringe: "The bird disappeared five minutes ago."
A brief note on Magnificent Frigatebirds. First, they have the word "magnificent" in their name, which might give some idea of how cool they are. Second, they are not normally seen north of southern Florida. Third, I have never seen one. Fourth, come on, where the heck could the bird have gone!?!?! Fifth, holy cow, Chrissy found it!
You know this already, but we were happy! We also wanted a better look! So at this point the keystone cop routine kicked in as birders scrambled for cars and followed the bird west, pausing now and then to jump out, scan the skies, find the bird, and continue chasing. At times the bird disappeared, and at times we thought we would not find it again, but always someone would spot it and the chase would be on. Finally, we managed to start leapfrogging the bird, getting ahead of it and waiting for it to soar past. Only once did it even half-flap its wings: frigatebirds can soar amazingly well. Finally, we got the looks we wanted:
A lifer for Peter and me, an ABA bird for Chrissy, and a state bird for both Jory and Rich: what a bird, what a find, and what a miracle that we managed to get to the spot, find the bird, and chase it down for great looks! Not only that but Tom Burke and crew managed to get west of the bird and, via the wonder of cellphones, get directed where to look and they managed to see the bird through spotting scopes from a range of just over a mile!
Now I'm going to sleep. The end.
By the way, Peter got a pretty good shot of the frigatebird too. Rich has a blog post about the trip up as well.
This post has been contributed to Bird Photography Weekly #2 at Birdfreak. Go check it out!
And to think I wasted the morning looking at Warblers.
AWESOME! Whenever I get the NY rare bird emails, I always think, "I wonder if Corey will get to see it." I'm so glad you guys got to see it. Amazing bird. Will the records committee accept it as Magnificent Frigatebird or Frigatebird Sp.? I know there are sometimes issues with distinguishing Magnificent from Greater.
You lucky stiff…
I get it now, all the good storm birds went to New York.
Nice I was hoping to get out today and pick up something interesting pushed towards us by ike or hanna but it is bucketting down down here.
Wow! That's a good bird. I think the best we had in Cape May were Sooty Terns and jaegers.
YAAY! Excellent!
How cool is that! Peter's shot is great, too!
I got my first one in late April at Longboat Key, Fl.
hey – when it rains down here it really rains. Not like your soft drizzle up there in NY!
I did get out, and bagged a lifer too. Cliff swallow is a little less impressive than Mag Frig though!
Sometimes not having a car kind of sucks. Alas, The Inimitable Todd went and broke his leg yesterday so even if I did have a car I would have had to think long and hard about chasing off to Long Island….
(I probably would have done it though.)
Awesome! There's a frigatebird in east-central Illinois but I didn't have time to try and see it. Congrats!!
And thanks for the submission to Bird Photography Weekly 🙂
I made it to Jones Beach but not as early as I planned. I only had time to bird by walking along the ocean beach. I was very surprised by all the shorebirds on a crowded beach, and it turned out be a very good trip. I did see a rare bird for NY, a wilson's plover.
@Birdfreak: Thanks and no problem.
@Joseph: I hope you got photographic documentation and/or took notes. Wilson's Plover is a species for which any report should be submitted to the NYS Avian Records Committee for a review. Congrats on a really good find (I don't remember any being reported this year at all)!
Fantastic reading – pics Corey!
I too think I saw one yesterday – in a different part of the world in Brazil (same side I guess!) When it has been confirmed (thanks in advance Charlie!!) I will let you know… Jeanie
Wow. Terrific Tale. And So cool to find this outrageously wonderful bird in NEW YORK of all places!!
Not only a lifer but a superb search story.Thanks.

Please yell at me if this is on the main site, but are there general guidelines or rules of thumb for figuring out whether one is overall insulin resistant or sensitive?
I'm sedentary and eat a high carb high fat diet, but my blood sugar is very stable. I'm obese, but I lose weight quickly when dieting and exercising. I'm thinking I'm one of the lucky ones.
I remember years ago when I would eat a ton of carbs in one sitting and about pass out. Now years later, I can do the same and the effect is not as strong. Not much has changed since, I still exercise and about the same weight.
Excellent article, thank you very much. May I have an additional question?
My body responds very strongly and very fast to a high-carb/high protein meal, especially a couple of hours after a training session; instead of getting tired or sleepy, within 5-10 minutes from the meal my body temperature rises, I get very hot, occassionaly even almost to the point of passing out; it subsides somewhat over the next 20 minutes but the effect persists for about two to three hours overal. What does this response say about my insulin sensitive/secretion and my preferred diet?
I am in my early forties, train as an amateur olympic weightlifter, I have a fair amount of muscle mass and healthy amount of fat (12-15% depending on the training cycle).
I know this question is hard to answer, but here it goes: I am cutting down BF, and I love carbs, low-carb makes me depressed... However, I don't go crazy on them, especially because I am leaving free caloric space to allow for enough fats in my diet...
Carbs don't make me bloated nor sleepy, nor do I seem to have other signs of bad insulin sensitivity... I had blood work done recently, and my fasting blood glucose is 70 mg/dl, which is perfect according to the doctor... My thyroid is also functioning very well, with all the hormones in check... So I guess I tolerate carbs well and have normal insulin sensitivity... I lift 3 times a week, full body training heavy weights, and do 3-4 cardio sessions a week. My BF% is currently around 18-20%... My daily carb intake is hardly below 200 g, and I have a reefed mostly once a week with 500-600 g carbs.
However, I meet folks regularly who tell me that this many carbs will slow down my progress, and my BF would come off much more easily if I adhered to a lower carb diet... Also, everybody at my gym goes automatically low carb when cutting down... Also, low carb leaves me looking flat, depleted and just no pump at all.
I have read an article by Lyle saying that studies prove that people who are insulin sensitive can actually lose fat easier by lowering fats instead of carbs... I am left pretty confused... Any advice much appreciated.

ST. LOUIS (AP) Left-hander Marc Rzepczynski and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a $1.1 million, one-year contract and avoided salary arbitration.
Rzepczynski can earn an additional $50,000 under Friday's agreement: $25,000 each for 70 and 75 appearances.
The 27-year-old was 1-3 with a 4.24 ERA in 70 games last year, when he made $501,000. Eligible for arbitration for the first time, he had asked for $1.3 million and been offered $900,000 when figures were exchanged last month.
Third baseman David Freese remains the last St. Louis player in arbitration.

The latest IUCN report shows that sharks and rays, including the Thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus) and the Shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) are at risk of extinction due to targeted fishing for valuable fins and meat, as well as indirect bycatch in other fisheries. In most cases, these catches are unregulated and unsustainable.
Sonja Fordham, co-author of the paper and Deputy Chair of the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group tells us more.

DCO has a range of programs to support the availability of childcare services to Defence families, who might face difficulties in sourcing childcare.
We maintain a network of childcare centres around Australia. Children of newly-posted Defence families can receive priority of access to these centres, where the local community is unable to accommodate them. Defence employees can also choose to salary package childcare costs at these centres.
Families facing difficulties accessing childcare, such as when they move to a new area or change their work or care arrangements, can now access an individual case management service to help them find childcare.
Connecting with your local community is an effective way for Defence families to find other childcare options. There are often playgroups, parents' groups or other support networks you can tap into in your local area. Call the Defence Family Helpline to access information and resources to assist you to connect with your local community.
We also provide an individual case management service for childcare placement to support ADF families when they move to a new area or change their work or care arrangements, such as when a serving member returns from maternity leave.
Specialist early learning staff from Defence childcare service provider, One Tree Community Services , provide support to families who need help to find appropriate childcare. They negotiate with all local registered childcare providers, including family day care and before and after school care, to ensure childcare is tailored to individual family circumstances.
The service provides parents with options that will allow them to decide which childcare service best suits their family. It is available to all ADF families across Australia, and civilian families in some regional locations.
The placement assistance service is free. Normal childcare fees will apply for any options selected by families.
To discuss your family's needs, call the all-hours Defence Family Helpline on 1800 624 608 or email email@example.com.
You can also search for different childcare options in your local area on the Child Care Finder website or call the government-run Childcare Access Hotline on 1800 670 305.
Defence employees can choose to salary package childcare, where you can use your pre-tax dollars to pay for childcare costs at approved childcare centres. This means sacrificing part of their future salary or wages in return for childcare benefits to the same value.
If you choose this option, you will no longer be eligible to receive the Child Care Subsidy or the Additional Child Care. If you salary sacrifice your childcare costs it is likely to be classified as a fringe benefit, which would be reported on your payment summary at the end of the financial year. It may also be used to calculate a range of things including:
It is strongly recommended that you seek independent advice to determine whether salary packaging is financially advantageous for your family.
More information about the Child Care Subsidy, the Additional Child Care Subsidy or a range of other payments you may be entitled to, read A Guide to Australian Government Payments, available from the Department of Human Services website.
You can get more information including a list of centres that offer the salary packaging option to Defence members at Smart Salary website.
Under our Partner Employment Assistance Program, eligible partners who run an existing family day care business can apply for reimbursement for re-registration costs (where required under state/territory legislation), if they relocate with their ADF partner to a new posting location.
Defence has childcare and early childhood education centres at 16 locations around Australia, comprising 16 long day care and three out of school hours centres operated by One Tree Community Services .
Defence provides priority of access to Defence childcare centres for ADF families, particularly where the local community is unable to accommodate them or they have been posted to a new location.
Defence contracts a licensed childcare service provider to manage and operate Defence childcare centres. The contract periodically undergoes a competitive tender process under Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines to determine the preferred service provider for the centres.
In July 2018, One Tree Community Services successfully won tender and took over from Mission Australia from 1 January 2019.

Sanchez, Austin brighten Yanks' system
Bombers boast outfield depth, but marquee pitchers regress
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | November 6, 2012 9:23 AM
A well-regarded Yankees farm system lost its biggest jewel last winter when top prospect Jesus Montero was traded to Seattle in a four-player deal for Michael Piñeda. In the short term, the deal has been a disaster for the Yankees -- Pineda missed the entire season and Jose Campos, a 20-year-old right-hander also acquired in the swap, made only five starts before going down with an elbow injury.
In a post-Montero world, however, New York certainly got support from its Minor Leaguers in 2012, with pitchers David Phelps and Adam Warren making their big league debuts and reliever Cody Eppley ranking fifth in appearances for the Yankees.
There also were disappointments over the summer. Left-hander Manny Bañuelos, who many hoped would make a Major League impact in 2012, missed most of the year before undergoing Tommy John surgery in October. Right-hander Dellin Betances, often mentioned in the same breath as Banuelos, had a forgettable year in which he struggled with his command and development and was demoted to Double-A midway through the season. Other big names like Mason Williams, who had surgery in August, Dante Bichette Jr. and Cito Culver -- the latter two struggled at Class A -- have room to improve in 2013.
A pair of Yankees affiliates played deep into 2012, with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre reaching the International League playoffs and Double-A Trenton falling to Akron in the Eastern League Championship Series. Class A Advanced Tampa, Class A Charleston, short-season Staten Island and the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Yankees all failed to make the postseason.
We chatted with Damon Oppenheimer, the Yankees' vice president and director of amateur scouting, to evaluate the team's best from 2012:
Yankees Organization All-Stars
Catcher -- Gary Sanchez, Charleston (68 games), Tampa (48 games): Sanchez, the Yankees' No. 1 prospect, posted solid power numbers and earned a promotion to Tampa in July. Perhaps the Yankees' backstop of the future, the 19-year-old hit .290 with 18 homers and 85 RBIs. Besides leading the system in RBIs, he stole 15 bases in 116 games. Like Montero, his defensive talents will need to be refined as he develops.
"I don't know if you can say someone is the catcher of the future when you're in A-ball, but if he plays with the progress he's made -- you need to have the tools for a catcher, you gotta have the catching part of it first, and he improved on that a bit this year," Oppenheimer said.
First base -- Kyle Roller, Tampa (121 games): Roller, a 2010 eighth-round Draft pick, was a Florida State League All-Star after hitting .266 with 18 homers and tying Sanchez atop the system with 85 RBIs. A left-handed bat who who won MVP honors in the Cape Cod League a year before the Yankees drafted him, Roller has shown power in his first two full seasons but could benefit from cutting down on his strikeouts.
"Strikeouts seem to come with power, but if you take away the first month and a half of his season ... you have really a quality year," Oppenheimer said. "He's got a chance to hit home runs and that's a big deal for us. Left-handed power in our system, it would be great to get that to the big leagues."
Honorable mention: Luke Murton
Second base -- Corban Joseph, Trenton (23 games), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (84 games): A 2008 fourth-rounder, Joseph gets the nod for the third year in a row. A lefty-swinging 24-year-old, he posted the best power numbers of his career in 2012 while reaching Triple-A. Across two levels, he hit .276 with career highs in homers (15) and RBIs (62).
"You're talking about someone at his age, he's young for Triple-A and he's progressed every chance he's gotten," Oppenheimer said. "He's been able to hit and string together his development. He has some power to go with his hit-ability. We're really pleased with where we're at with Corban right now."
Third base -- Brandon Laird, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (130 games), New York (17 games): The 2010 Eastern League MVP reached the Majors for the second straight year while hitting .257 with 14 homers and ranking fourth in the system with 77 RBIs at Triple-A. The 25-year-old infielder was designated for assignment late last summer and signed with the Astros.
"He continues to hit, and add the power -- he hadn't had power -- and that's what you have to have, those combinations, to play third," Oppenheimer said. "The defense got better, he did a quality job overall and we got see him get to the big leagues."
Shortstop -- Addison Maruszak, Trenton (117 games): Maruszak, who turns 26 in December, had a breakout season at Double-A, batting .276 with a career-high 16 homers and 59 RBIs. After hitting just one homer two years ago, he batted .373 against lefties and totaled 42 extra-base hits. He'll get a chance at Triple-A in 2013.
"I think Addison is a little bit of a sleeper," Oppenheimer said. "He's worked his tail off, he continues to have versatility to play multiple positions, he can hit, his at-bats are quality. And ideally you hope he'd had more range to play shortstop, but he's a good overall player."
Designated hitter -- Ronnier Mustelier, Trenton (25 games), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (89 games): Mustelier, a Cuban outfielder, made a name for himself in May when he homered in four straight games, helping earn a promotion to Triple-A in his first full season. The 28-year-old, signed as a free agent in June 2011, hit .314 with 15 homers, 69 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. He also ranked second in the system with 141 hits.
Melky Mesa, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (33 games), Trenton (88 games), New York (3 games): Mesa made his big league debut in 2012 (he had two at-bats) after posting solid numbers at two Minor League levels. In 121 games, mostly at Double-A, the 25-year-old hit .264 with 23 homers, 67 RBIs and 22 steals. He ranked second in homers behind Luke Murton's 25 and is playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic.
"I thought (Mesa) did well, had a good year," Oppenheimer said. "He continues to get better, he's a solid defender and really a good outfielder."
Zoilo Almonte, Trenton (106 games): The Yankees' No. 7 prospect, a 2011 Organization All-Star, earned Eastern League All-Star status in his second season at Trenton after hitting .277 with 21 homers, 70 RBIs and 15 steals. He ranked third in the system in homers and fifth in RBIs while collecting 116 hits in 106 games.
"He had a great year. He did everything you'd ask him to do in the outfield," said Oppenheimer. "He hit for power and ran the bases well and it was a real standout year for him. I think we're hoping he continues to do the same thing and get better and have a good Major League career."
Mason Williams, Charleston (69 games), Tampa (22 games): Oppenheimer believes Williams and fellow outfielder Slade Heathcott are the Yankees' top two prospects heading into 2013. For the 21-year-old Williams, the numbers aren't staggering, but he didn't disappoint, finishing at .298 with 11 homers, 35 RBIs and 20 steals in 91 games at two levels. Oppenheimer feels he can be "a superstar" in the Majors.
"Him and Slade are our two best prospects in our system -- I don't think that's debatable," he said. "You're talking about 21 years old, hit-ability, power, he steals bases, plays the outfield right. From being an everyday contributor, he's probably a few years away."
Tyler Austin, Charleston (70 games), Tampa (36 games), GCL Yankees (2 games), Trenton (2 games): A Futures Game All-Star, Austin put together a great year while reaching Double-A in his first full season. Just 21, the 2010 13th-round pick hit .322 with 17 homers and 80 RBIs, finishing first among Yankees farmhands in average and second in RBIs.
"You couldn't ask for much more from the guy: He hit, hits for power, has good plate discipline, stole bases and he never gives away at-bats," Oppenheimer said. "No question, he had a tremendous year, it was well-deserved."
Right-handed starting pitcher -- Brett Marshall, Trenton (27 games): The right-hander, drafted out of a Texas high school in 2008, spent the season as the ace at Double-A Trenton, where he went 13-7 with a 3.52 ERA to lead the system in wins. Sidelined in June with bursitis in his knee, he nonetheless struck out 120 over 158 1/3 innings, ranking fourth among Yankees Minor Leaguers and held opponents to a .255 average.
"He keeps getting better," Oppenheimer said. "He bounced back from that injury, he worked his tail off and the stuff continues to progress each year. The command got better, the ability to move the ball around with sink improves each year. His makeup has been off the charts. He had a tremendous year."
Left-handed starting pitcher -- Vidal Nuno, Tampa (11 games), Trenton (20 games): The former Indians Draft pick built on his sold 2011 campaign by going 10-6 with a 2.54 ERA and leading the organization with 126 strikeouts in 138 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old ranked second in wins behind Marshall and held opponents to a .249 average while reaching Double-A in his fourth season.
Honorable mention: Nik Turley
Relief pitcher -- Mark Montgomery, Trenton (15 games), Tampa (31 games): Drafted as a reliever in 2011, the 22-year-old continued to close games in his second season with the Yankees, going 7-2 with a 1.54 ERA and a system-leading 15 saves across two levels. Montgomery struck out 99 over 64 1/3 innings and held foes to a .157 average while earning a trip to the Arizona Fall League, where he garnered Rising Star honors.
"He was tremendous all year, he was tremendous," Oppenheimer said. "He showed Major League stuff, good control, he just kept getting better and better throughout the year. The Arizona Fall League, he went out there against some of the better hitters in the Minors and continued the progress. The swing and miss with him is tremendous, his slider is a quality Major League pitch right now."
Austin Romine, the Yankees' No. 2 catching prospect, caught Montgomery in Arizona and was stunned by the right-hander's slider.
"Never seen anything like it," he told Sports Illustrated. "With two strikes, the hitters know it's coming and they can't touch it."

Suit filed for man held in Sarpy County jail
ACLU files suit on behalf of Latino man
According to a federal complaint, a man was held in prison for four days with no reason.
On Thursday, American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska filed suit in federal court on behalf of Ramon Mendoza alleging that Sarpy County Correctional Center unjustifiably and illegally imprisoned a Nebraska resident for four days simply because local law enforcement officials suspected that the man was here in violation of federal immigration laws.
On March 5, 2010, Ramon Mendoza was pulled over in Papillion for windshield obstruction, which was his son's boxing prize medallion.
The officer determined Mendoza did not have a current driver's license or proof of automobile insurance. The officer then arrested Mendoza and booked him on charges of driving under revocation of license and no proof of insurance.
Mendoza had no other criminal records or outstanding warrants.
At the Sarpy County jail Mendoza truthfully stated his name, address, telephone number, Social Security number and all other information requested of him, according to the complaint. Mendoza said his biographical information was also already in the jail's records, as he served a short sentence there in 2008 for a misdemeanor conviction
In the complaint it stated Mendoza was not permitted to use a telephone to contact his wife or legal counsel. Mendoza was not allowed to leave the cell for exercise, or go to common areas in the jail.
During the booking process, a county employee requested a detainer on Mendoza from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
His wife, Laura Mendoza, and children were turned away when presenting Mr. Mendoza's proof of citizenship which included his social security card, certificate of citizenship, marriage certificate and U.S. passport, the report stated.
The complaint stated, on March 8, a county employee transmitted a facsimile document to the Sarpy County jail stating that there was no detainer on Mendoza. The document was dated March 5, but it was not faxed it to the Sarpy County jail until March 8.
Mendoza was released from the Sarpy County jail March 8 around 4 p.m.
Immediately upon Mendoza's release Laura Mendoza took him to a hospital emergency room, where he was treated for dehydration and emotional distress.
