(6/ 2013)
Olema is produced by the folks at Amici Cellars. Their Chardonnay blends fruit from the Russian River and Carneros, fermented and aged in a combination of stainless and French oak barrels. A little more than half the juice goes through malo, creating a wine that still has lift and acidity, but is rich and textured on the mid-palate and finish. Oak spice complements the cooler-climate Chardonnay fruit's apple and citrus aromas and flavors.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

Seneca Valley, Barnes blast Hempfield
TribLIVE Sports Videos
No. 4 Seneca Valley defeated Hempfield in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAAA playoffs Friday night, 50-20.
No. 13 seed Hempfield (4-6) came in excited to make their first playoff appearance since 2008, but the Spartans had no answer for Seneca Valley running back Forrest Barnes.
Barnes, who is receiving multiple Division I offers, finished with 100 rushing yards, 104 receiving yards and scored five touchdowns — all in the first half. He didn't touch the ball on the first five plays, but he made his presence known inside the 15-yard line and eventually scored from 1-yard to give the Raiders a 6-0 lead.
"We didn't plan to keep the ball out of his hands. It just worked out that way," Seneca Valley coach Don Holl said. "Our offense is based on reads, and Jordan Brown, our quarterback, made some good reads and let the game come to him."
On the ensuing drive, Barnes gained 70 rushing yards, capped with second touchdown of the first quarter from 12 yards out. He finished the first quarter with 85 yards and two touchdowns.
"You can't gameplan against a kid like that," Hempfield coach Rich Bowen said. "You can try to stop him, but you have to be at your best and score points, a lot of points, to beat a well-coached football team like this."
Brown continued to make outstanding reads in the second quarter as he connected with Barnes on a 44-yard touchdown pass that gave the Raiders (9-1) a 27-0 lead.
Later, Brown connected with Barnes for another touchdown, this time from 35 yards. Brown finished with 141 passing yards on 6 of 13 attempts. He surpassed 5,000 yards for his career, making him the all-time leading passer at Seneca Valley.
Seneca Valley pulled its starters at halftime, leading 43-0, and Hempfield's starters went to work on the Raiders' second-stringers, scoring 20 points in the second half.
Seneca Valley advances to play No. 5 Mt. Lebanon (8-2) in the WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinals.
"The staff and I looked a film on both possible opponents this week after practice, and we are very familiar with Lebo," Noll said. "They are very good. Obviously, we have some ideas, and we are very excited to get to the next round and prepare for them."

ProLogis: Only 20% of U.S. logistics space is 'institutional grade'
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
A new white paper from the warehouse developer ProLogis studies how obsolescence impacts the commercial logistics real estate sector. The paper found that only around 20 percent of logistics real estate in the United States can be considered "institutional grade" – that is, properties that are neither obsolete nor too far removed from population centers or critical transport infrastructure. The amount of institutional grade space amounts to roughly 4 billion square feet. ...

The empties barrier to export
Saturday, March 21, 2015
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies Containerized exports did not perform well in 2014, according to data from ports that reported volumes for loaded and empty containers. This is not surprising given that the U.S. dollar appreciated significantly in the latter half of 2014, major trading partners' economies slowed appreciably and potentially a shortage of containers in less populated areas that are the source for a significant share of U.S. exports. ...

At a certain point, he said, the increased cost of importing and exporting due to congestion could discourage ship...
Monsters of the Pacific
Saturday, March 21, 2015
Speaking at the California Maritime Leadership Forum earlier this year, Jock O'Connell, an international trade advisor at Beacon Economics, told his audience that the container shipping industry reminded him of "the old movies that some of us grew up with during the 1950s and the post-atomic scares and creatures that existed out in the Pacific. There are monsters out there." While a step down from the containerships on Far East-to-North Europe routes, BlueWater Reporting says th...
Automated terminals continue stoking fear in ILWU
Saturday, March 21, 2015
Recent collective bargaining between West Coast dockworkers and waterfront employers for a new contract revolved around issues such as wages, health benefits, pensions and retaining jurisdiction over chassis maintenance, but many maritime industry professionals suspect another unspoken sticking point has been the degree to which container terminals automate cranes, entry and exit gates, cargo-handling equipment and other functions. In the previous contract that expired last June...
Port Disruption Damage Ticker
Friday, March 20, 2015
Labor peace may finally be returning to the West Coast ports, but the cargo delays that occurred because of low productivity were not theoretical. Importers and exporters were hit in their bottom line, and companies lost revenue and incurred extra expenses. Agricultural exporters in particular worry about lost opportunity costs if they can't win back frustrated overseas customers. Retailers likely will swallow the extra costs rather than passing them onto consumers, which will compress their...
FWI: Cargo criminals becoming more 'sophisticated'
Wednesday, March 11, 2015
According to a new report from the FreightWatch International Supply Chain Intelligence Center, 794 cargo thefts occurred in the United States during 2014, 12 percent fewer than 2013. The 12 percent decrease in thefts was offset, however, by a 36 percent increase in the average value of cargo thefts. Average value for cargo thefts was $232,924 in 2014. The logistics security service provider said of its 2014 United States Annual Cargo Theft Report, "Cargo criminals ...
Seabury forecasts annual ocean freight growth at 5.3% through 2018
Wednesday, February 25, 2015
The transportation consultancy firm Seabury estimates that annual global ocean freight growth will be 5.3 percent between 2015 and 2018, according to forecasts based on the company's ocean trade database. Labeling the growth "moderate," Seabury said that growth still lags well behind annual growth rates for container trade in 2000-2004 (11 percent) and 2004-2008 (8 percent) periods, but well above the "stagnant" growth from 2008-2013 (3.1 percent). Seabury noted tha...
Economist says West Coast port disruption dinged 4Q GDP
Tuesday, February 24, 2015
The labor slowdown at West Coast ports during contract negotiations likely sliced a full percentage point off of fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product, Deutsche Bank Chief Economist Joseph LaVorgna said. The U.S. economy grew at a 2.6 percent annualized pace in the last three months of the year, according to a preliminary government estimate. In the third quarter, GDP raced forward at 5 percent. LaVorgna based his conclusion on the assumption that without a slowdown...
Westbound transatlantic helped by strong U.S. dollar
Monday, February 23, 2015
The westbound transatlantic trade grew 8.4 percent in 2014, with volumes in the fourth quarter 12.6 percent higher than in the same 2013 period, London-based Drewry said. In the latest issue of its Container Insight Weekly , Drewry said, "The late surge was given a shove from the dollar's strengthening against the euro. Over the course of 2014, the two currencies' average exchange rate was virtually unchanged, but the euro did fall by around 6 percent against the dollar in the f...
Going global: Doing it right
Saturday, February 21, 2015
On Second Thought with Andrea Appell "We are going global!" Four familiar words proclaimed by many U.S. companies, large and small. For a company and its employees, these words are thrilling, energizing, and motivating. But what does this actually mean to each function of a company? How does the movement to "go global" impact you? How can you get it right? Sales or product development professionals may interpret this call to arms as developing new products and laun...
Enough excuses already
Saturday, February 21, 2015
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies It is difficult to predict tipping points, the combinations of events and trends that result in a large break from the past. They usually become evident after the fact. It is possible that congestion in port gateway regions in many parts of the world is more of an indication that a milestone has been reached in global freight movement, and not simply the result of a few short-term issues that can be corrected by a few targeted investments. If so, then not...
Letter to the Editor: Skipped sailings hurt supply chains down the line
Saturday, February 21, 2015
In Ben Meyer's Container Analytics column, "Skipped sailings still on the rise," in the February issue, he has hit on an important topic. He discussed it with regards to overcapacity and carrier attempts to adjust it. However, there is another take on blank sailings—slow steaming, schedule revisions, alliance changes, alliance operations, and other actions. It goes beyond the transpacific and occurs throughout all the trade lanes. Also, skipped sailings as a global ...

As most offices are shutting down for the evening, activity at the headquarters of Info-X Software Technology is reaching a crescendo. Set amidst a bustling industrial office section of Gurgaon (a suburb of New Delhi, India) Info-X's offices glow with light as night sets in. That's because the bulk of Info-X's work is handling the IT and back office needs of freight forwarders and non-vessel-operating common carriers in Europe and North America. Info-X, like a handf...
Kintetsu buys APL Logistics in $1.2 billion deal
Tuesday, February 17, 2015
The Singapore-based parent company of liner carrier APL has sold off the carrier's sister company APL Logistics to Japan's Kintetsu World Express for $1.2 billion, the Tokyo-based company said Tuesday. The price is considered higher than most analysts expected APL Logistics parent NOL to fetch. NOL said in August it was exploring a sale or initial public offering of its logistics business . Initial reports suggested NOL was seeking around $750 million for the business. &n...
West Coast congestion, new alliances hurt liner reliability
Monday, February 16, 2015
Liner service reliability fell to a record low in January as the effects of U.S. West Coast congestion and the phasing-in of new alliance services took their toll, according to the Carrier Performance Insight , published monthly by global shipping consultancy Drewry. Overall on-time performance for the three key east-west trades slumped to 48.6 percent in January, down 9.4 percent from December, which itself was one of the worst months of 2014. Drewry called the performance leve...
CORRECTION: 2015 economic outlook mixed for Americas
Monday, February 02, 2015
A chart in Friday's AS Daily showing a consensus "forecast of forecasts" for economic growth in the Americas included a keying error showing projected U.S. GDP in 2015 at 2.0. The real estimate is for 3.3 percent growth.
Picking a winner
Saturday, January 24, 2015
February is always a crucial month for transpacific shippers, coming as it does near the beginning of ocean carrier service contract negotiating season. This year, the stakes have been raised with systemic operational issues and the threat of work stoppages at U.S. container ports, which makes picking the right carriers, and choosing the right allocations for each of those carriers, all the more vital for shippers. One element of those carrier selection and allocati...
It's likely to get worse
Saturday, January 24, 2015
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies It won't take much trade growth in future years to exacerbate congestion at U.S. seaport gateway areas unless significant investments in freight movement capacity take place. U.S. GDP is estimated to have grown 2.5 percent in 2014 with a much higher rate of growth in the second half (severe weather in the first quarter negatively impacted activity), while containerized imports appear to have grown 6.2 percent (based on data available th...
Commentary: IT concepts with staying power
Saturday, January 24, 2015
You might recall American Shipper put out a series of reports five or so years ago with transportation analyst Merge Global on the future of logistics and various transportation markets. As is the case with such consultancies, Merge Global has become Logistics Capital & Strategy, though stalwarts like Brian Clancy (a co-founder of Merge Global who often wrote in American Shipper ) remain, as does industry vet Ted Prince, most recently with Kansas City Southern. ...
Commentary: Ports are learning business lessons
Saturday, January 24, 2015
As the founding partner of management consulting firm Summit Strategic Partners and a former port director, Stanley Payne sees interesting similarities between start-up companies he assists and port authorities. For one, ports and startups always seem to be looking for money. Then they price their product unrealistically low to gain market penetration. But after years of higher and higher sales and volumes, both face the harsh reality of profit expectations, Payne s...
Trailer orders reach near high in December
Friday, January 23, 2015
Orders for truck trailers reached 45,500 in December, the second highest month ever recorded, according to the freight analyst FTR Associates. The number of orders was 1.5 percent below October 2014, the highest month on record. Trailer orders for 2014 totaled more than 360,000, by far the best order year ever, FTR said. "Dry van orders set an all-time record, as original equipment manufacturers aggressively sought orders to book into the third and fourth quarters,"...

Friday, January 23, 2015
Erwin Saddle Creek Logistics Services, Lakeland, Fla., has promoted John Erwin to vice president for Saddle Creek Transportation. The new position was created in response to the rapid growth of the transportation division. Erwin joined Saddle Creek in 2011 as director of operations support and maintenance. He has overseen the development of the company's compressed natural gas fleet and a doubling of overall fleet size. SMC3 has picked Andrew Slusher to become its next pre...
Deloitte: Transportation becomes more about bytes than hard infrastructure
Tuesday, December 30, 2014
The turn of a new year is always rife with recaps and predictions, and this end of December is no different. One interesting place to turn for some tea leaf reading is a new website assembled by Deloitte on the future of transportation . The site mostly focuses on what the consulting firm sees happening in the passenger transportation realm – everything from self-service airports to drivers tied together in a veritable "internet of cars." But the predictions invaria...
GPS for mitigating supply chain risk
Saturday, December 13, 2014
On Second Thought with John Tabor Supply chain risk has become a hot topic lately with concerns about rising transportation costs, regulations, and capacity issues. As I write this column in early December the Los Angeles-Long Beach port disruption has already dramatically affected this year's holiday selling season. Tens of thousands of containers sit idle on ships, in ports or transportation providers' yards loaded with inventory that was supposed to already be on store shelves. &n...
Commentary: Proselytizing yield management
Saturday, December 13, 2014
Management consultant Oliver Wyman suggests the container shipping industry needs to focus on yield management to regain profitability. Joris D'Incà, a partner at Oliver Wyman's office in Zurich, said liner companies have focused on restructuring, optimization and cost-cutting—taking steps such as renegotiating port tariffs, optimizing stowage, reducing the cost of overhead structure, slow steaming and larger ships to drive down unit costs. But these steps haven't p...
Commentary: BPE Global at 10
Saturday, December 13, 2014
In March 2006, I remember attending an event in Oakland about trade with China and hearing a dynamic speaker talk about trade compliance. Not knowing anything about trade compliance at that point, the speaker sounded thoroughly impressive. Nearly 10 years later, every time I hear Beth Peterson speak, whether it's at a conference, or on one of the many webinars she does with us, she sounds just as impressive. Peterson celebrated the 10-year anniversary of her global ...
Risk on his mind
Saturday, December 13, 2014
Just before Thanksgiving I spoke with Andrew Kinsey, a senior marine risk consultant for Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, who addressed a variety of issues on his radar screen. A retired master for both Maersk Line, Ltd. and the U.S. Military Sealift Command, he was returning from Alabama where he had done a loss control survey of the primary container terminal in Mobile, operated by APM Terminals. He believes Mobile, like Houston, is well positioned to ben...
GTM's small fraction
Saturday, December 13, 2014
I was pretty caught by surprise when I read that Thomson Reuters and KPMG had inked a partnership in early 2014 to offer global trade management software and services in the South America market. To my mind, the number of providers of such software and services could fit in a pretty tight circle, but clearly, that circle needs to be expanded. That Thomson Reuters—known in the mainstream as much for publishing as for providing trade compliance and free trade agreemen...
Saturday, December 13, 2014
There's a sense among many transportation executives that freight payment is a different kettle of fish than other types of accounts payable. A sense that paying carriers and logistics companies carries with it more nuance than paying other vendors. However, Adam Hall, senior director of international logistics for the national retailer Dollar General, isn't buying it. "People have looked at freight payment as unique, but I don't think it's that unique,...
Strong cargo volumes expose 'simmering cauldron' of port issues
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
Drewry says strong cargo volumes from Asia to North America's west coast have "exposed severe shortcomings in the overall supply chain network." "Current slack season volumes will give some respite to the USWC (U.S. West Coast) port congestion but fundamental issues need to be addressed by the industry's stakeholders if this not to be a recurring theme," the London-based consultants wrote in the current issue of their Container Insight Weekly . Drewry said vol...
Port congestion in SoCal harming liner schedule reliability
Tuesday, December 09, 2014
Congestion in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has hit carrier schedule reliability hard, according to research from the maritime analyst SeaIntel. Schedule reliability industry-wide fell 40 percent into the two Southern California ports in October, and 50 percent into the next port of call, according to SeaIntel's Sunday Spotlight . The ports have been plagued by a mixture of operational issues tied to chassis availability and the impact of larger vessels di...
Carrier schedule report says reliability improved from August to October
Tuesday, December 09, 2014
Maersk Line and Hamburg Süd had the highest schedule reliability among container shipping lines in October, according to performance rankings published by the shipping consultancy Drewry. The rankings are a part of Drewry's new online version of its Carrier Performance Insight report, developed in conjunction with the shipment management software provider CargoSmart. Drewry found that Maersk Line and Hamburg Süd were "by far the most reliable carriers" in the t...
2015 Outlook
Saturday, November 01, 2014
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies At the time this column is being written, the data indicates the global economy and international trade are likely to continue growing in a sustainable way in 2015, supported by the ongoing U.S. recovery. The not-so-good news is that congestion issues faced by the freight movement industry in the United States and in many other parts of the world could continue. Hopefully, actions being taken now will provide some relief. Insufficient policy support for i...
Emails thrown out
Saturday, November 01, 2014
In February and April 2011 Kentucky Fuel Corp. entered into contracts with Celtic Marine for the transport of coal by barge from terminals in Kentucky and West Virginia to New Orleans and Darrow, La.

On Dec. 7, 2011, Celtic filed suit against Justice for breach of the guarantor's agreements, all...
Container shipping recovery coming late 2016 or 2017
Wednesday, October 08, 2014
Drewry is predicting a recovery of the container shipping industry in two years, possibly by late 2016 or 2017. When it comes, the London-based consultant said the turnaround will be based on the "formation of the new mega alliances and the continued reduction of unit costs, rather than the matching of supply and demand at the individual trade route level" and improved freight rates. Neil Dekker, Drewry's director of container research, said "the possibility of mat...
Filling bellies
Saturday, October 04, 2014
As summer turned to fall, the International Air Transport Association had some good news. International air cargo volume was up consecutively for July and August, and outperforming 2013's numbers throughout the year. There was a caveat — demand has increased slower than global economic activity. This wasn't pre-recession growth for air cargo, but the sustained uptick in worldwide freight tonnage showed a vast improvement over recent years when air freight had been sluggish...
Export warning to all startups
Saturday, October 04, 2014
On Second Thought with Beth Peterson Many new startups are innovating products that include encryption—which is always subject to export controls. Because they aren't familiar with export regulations, companies inadvertently violate them when building new products; they don't know that all technology products require an export control classification number (ECCN) and possibly an export license. U.S. export regulations can apply domestically and follow U.S. origin goods as they ship around t...
Commentary: Avoiding Incoterm misuse
Saturday, October 04, 2014
Contemporary anecdotal evidence suggests, and recent empirical substantiation supports, the phenomenon that shippers are continually misusing Incoterms. This practice continues among the world's shippers despite the International Chamber of Commerce's insistence that certain terms are solely intended for maritime or intermodal containerized freight. But the fault may not lie solely on the buyers and sellers or their designated freight forwarders. International banking institutions often fail...

Intermodal's growth potential
Saturday, October 04, 2014
The intermodal industry has been on a roll since the financial crisis, with total volumes climbing every year since 2009. This year that growth has continued. The Intermodal Association of America said the industry handled 7.95 million containers in the first half of 2014, both domestic and international as well as trailers, up about 5.5 percent from around 7.54 million in the first half of 2013. Speaking at IANA's Intermodal Expo in September, Noel Perry, managing ...
Coming age of crew-less ships?

Economic role of freight transport infrastructure
Saturday, September 06, 2014
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies Economic recovery has put the spotlight on the inadequacies of freight movement infrastructure, prompting significant efforts, both rhetorical and substantive, to boost supply chain capacity. It is also instigating a lot of debate about planning for the future, given major trends and events such as the growing size of container vessels, expansion of the Panama and Suez canals, growing crude-by-rail volumes, regulation of truck drivers' hours of service, r...
Driverless trucks and zero inventory

Class 8 truck orders up 29% in August
Thursday, September 04, 2014
Industry analyst FTR has released preliminary data showing Class 8 truck orders in North America for August were up 29 percent year over year at 24,947 units. Class 8 orders have now had 19 consecutive months with year-over-year increases, FTR noted. August orders, while were helped by summer dealer incentive programs, were the strongest for the month since 2005. Class 8 orders for the latest six-month period through August reached 316,000 units, FTR said. "The str...

The ultimate global logistics challenge
Sunday, August 17, 2014
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies A few years ago the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimated the size of the world's middle class and forecast how it would grow. (The OECD's middle class forecast, along with the U.S. Census Bureau's world population estimates, is shown in the corresponding chart.) According to the OECD study, published in 2010, the global middle class should be 75 percent larger in 2020 compared to 2010 and by 2030 164 percent larger. ...
Commentary: An American Shipper columnist's farewell
Sunday, August 17, 2014
Last year, I retired and I'm about to retire again, and this time from writing for American Shipper . I've been writing a regular column for the publication for a couple of years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. But it's time to pass the pen to someone more active in the field. It's too bad that more people in our industry don't write. I did it, because it was fun and interesting and for the responses that came to me from American Shipper readers. Besides, it looks pretty ...
Cultivating supply chain talent
Sunday, August 17, 2014
CSCMP, universities work with companies to prepare graduates for growing field. As the field of supply chain management becomes ever more important as a competitive differentiator among the world's leading companies, so does the necessity to attract the brightest, most capable talent in the field. The problem is the supply of talent is not sufficiently keeping up with demand, according to recent studies conducted by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals in partne...
What does 3D printing mean to logistics?
Sunday, August 17, 2014
Executive IT Corner with Biju Kewalram I saw my first "3D Printer" in action nearly 12 years ago. The basics of the technology (called additive manufacturing) have been around since the 1980s. I watched with fascination as a printer-like device, (albeit a very large printer), attached to a computer, slowly used a plastic raw material to construct a small model of a famous building. The degree of detail in the finished object, complete with all the architectural aspects of the o...
First Sale in crosshairs
Sunday, August 17, 2014
The First Sale rule has never been popular with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and is under assault again. In July, the agency proposed amendments to its internal compliance publication, which guides enforcement personnel on how to do their jobs, essentially forcing importers to keep extra documentation to verify their claim of first sale privileges and substantially increasing their record-keeping burden. The rule allows a company to base the value of an import...
Infrastructure windfall
Sunday, August 17, 2014
McKinsey says governments can generate $1.4 trillion benefit through more efficient project delivery. Experts at management consulting firm McKinsey & Co. say there are smart ways for governments, in the United States and around the world, to stretch their transportation dollars and better leverage private investments to close the gap in infrastructure supply. A study last year by researchers at the McKinsey Global Institute argues that nations generally can obtain the same...
The U.S. infrastructure climate
Sunday, August 17, 2014
Port investment brightens, but outlook remains cloudy for toll roads, airports and other public assets. Businesses, economists, and policy experts say there is a crying need for government to invest in infrastructure because it is a foundation for economic growth and makes U.S. exporters more competitive in global markets. Meanwhile, federal, state and local governments are severely constrained from closing the infrastructure investment gap by limited funds and anti-tax public sentiment. &n...
Shifting gears
Sunday, July 13, 2014
Strategic View with Walter Kemmsies It has been five years since the 2007-2009 recession ended, but only in the last few months have aggregate macroeconomic and freight movement industry data series indicated that activity has generally returned to pre-recession levels. As capacity utilization rises, negotiating power should shift from buyers, as has been the case in the last seven years, to sellers. Buyers may end up disappointed as sellers renege on deals they agreed to when their competi...
The cloud simplified
Sunday, July 13, 2014
Executive IT Corner with Biju Kewalram You can't avoid factoring in the "cloud" in any current discussion about software or system acquisition. Cloud-based capability now appears on most lists of selection criteria and technology requests for quotations for software. But what is the "cloud" and what does it mean to logistics companies making systems investment decisions? The key thing to note is the cloud is ultimately about infrastructure and the underlying technology on which...
In the 'Distress Zone'
Sunday, June 08, 2014
Container carriers experience another difficult year with soft demand, excess capacity. 2013 was another tough year for the liner shipping industry, with the container operations of 15 public companies examined by American Shipper losing an aggregate $530 million. While some companies—most notably, the world's largest container carrier Maersk Line, with an operating profit of $1.6 billion—did well, it seems likely that many carriers will have difficulty sailing out of their sea...
Commentary: Compliance's unstoppable transformation
Sunday, June 08, 2014
Global trade compliance doesn't evolve as noticeably or quickly as fashion changes with the seasons. However, the fashion brand Gitano was forever transformed almost overnight by the powerful effect of enforced trade compliance. Gitano, a designer of jeans had been a thriving apparel manufacturer until the company's executives pleaded guilty to charges of evading import duties on their merchandise in December 1993. After an ensuing multimillion-dollar penalty case and loss of th...

Figuring out what's outside
I live in SE PA and this spring my landlord planted some new plants in the yard. I actually got the gardening bug and started taking care of them, weeding and watering regularly. They seem to be growing ok, but as we approach colder weather I am unsure of what to do with these plants. I saved the plant stakes from the retail pots.
One of them is called "Sedge" and is labeled "Colorful grasses".
The other is "Hosta Albo Marginata" and says Perennial.
Do I need to clip these for the winter or remove them altogether? How do I clip them?
the hosta can be left in the ground, it is perennial meaning it comes back each year. (dies to underground in the winter, regrows).
I am not sure about the sedge, I usually think of sedges as swamp grasses. I don't imagine there is much to do with it.
The hosta can be dug up and divided once it looks like it is getting big. (probably once every 2-3 years) You just chop the roots of the plant in half and replant and then you have 2 hostas.
The sedge you might try checking to seed if it has seedheads. If they aren't eaten by the birds you can store them overwinter once they have dried on the plant and try planting the seeds in the soil come spring to see if they will grow more.
There are jillions of ornamental Carex (sedges) so we would need a picture to help you give it a real name. Many of the sedges are extremely hardy, but others are not. No telling about yours without a species name. Hopefully he purchased it at a nursery that only sells plants that will be expected to survive in your area.
The hosta will be killed back to the ground with the freezing weather, but will come back in the spring.
The Sedge retail stake says "Carex Comans Bronco"
I also have another plant out there (link below) that I haven't identified yet. When it was first planted it had peachy colored blossoms but I haven't seen blossoms since around May. Any ideas on what it could be and how to care for it during winter?
Thanks! The tips so far have been most helpful.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Your ornamental grass, also called 'Leatherleaf Sedge' is reported to be hardy to -10 deg. F. Your other plant looks to be one of the Satsuki azaleas, can't say for sure without seeing the bloom. Azaleas flower once per year, in the spring (early to late, depending upon the variety).

TV Chef Nigella Lawson Photographed in Violent Encounter With Husband
Unsettling photos of Nigella Lawson and her husband, Charles Saatchi, have emerged, showing Saatchi, a U.K.-based advertising mogul and art collector, grabbing the famous TV chef by the throat.
The images, published Sunday in the U.K.'s Sunday People, have prompted British police to probe the incident "to assess whether an investigation is necessary," ABC News reports. Saatchi, 70, is photographed squeezing the 53-year-old Lawson's neck at the restaurant Scott's in London as she winces in an apparent struggle to break free. She later left the scene in tears.
"It was utterly shocking to watch," a witness to the June 9 incident was quoted as saying. "I have no doubt she was scared. It was horrific, really. She was very tearful and was constantly dabbing her eyes."
Now, Saatchi is defending himself in a statement to The London Evening Standard, saying: "About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella's neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasize my point."
He continued: "There was no grip, it was a playful tiff. The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place. Nigella's tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt. ... We had made up by the time we were home. The paparazzi were congregated outside our house after the story broke yesterday morning, so I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled."
A spokesperson confirmed Monday that Lawson had left the family's home with her children in tow.
The couple were married in September 2003. Lawson was previously wed to journalist John Diamond, who died of throat cancer in 2001.
According to The Telegraph, Lawson called Saatchi an "exploder" in a 2007 interview, adding: "I'll go quiet when he explodes, and then I am a nest of horrible festeringness."
Famous for her best-selling cookbooks and TV series airing on the BBC (and Food Network in the U.S.), Lawson stars as a judge on the ABC reality show The Taste, which was recently renewed for a second season. She has been promoting her new book, Nigellissima, which arrived in February.
