there's a hole in my meyer lemon tree-HELP!!!
please help me diagnose! here is what i can tell you:
a citrus nursery planted this Meyer Lemon tree (i think it was a 15 or 20 gallon at the time) for me last May; i usually have people do the planting because i know that citrus is susceptible to foot rot and i want to have the experts do the planting.
a couple of months ago i started noticing this hole developing at the base of the trunk; i had the nursery come out to take a look at it and they said it was an injury (mind you, i do not own a weedwhacker nor done anything to possibly injure the tree; bascally i water and fertilize and remove organic matter near the trunk, that's it). they said it would heal up and it would be OK and not to worry
it could be my imagination but the hole is getting gradually bigger
in the meantime the tree flowered nicely last month and now has loads of fruit
some of the leaves are splotchy yellow but i did not worry too much about that b/c i thought it could be old leaves, yellowing due to fruiting/weather/fertilizer, etc.
however last night i did a bunch of Googling and i saw pix and info. about something called citrus collar rot. does anyone know whether my tree has this???? and is this something that could be contagious to my other citrus trees?
here's the photos:
ejperryman, you could be right, but I think the tree's problem is a serious disease called foot rot, caused by the soil born fungi Phytophthora. Since the problem happened during the winter months, the fungi type is likely Phytophthora citrophthora. The fungus causes lesions that can eventually spread around the circumference of the trunk, killing the cambium and slowly girdling the tree. If this happened the tree dies. Sometimes if the lesions cease to expand or the fungus dies, the affected area is surrounded by callus tissue and begins to heal. Control varies a little depending if your tree is growing in a generally wet location, or in an arid climate. Copper fungicides applied prior to the beginning of the rains are usually effective
hi! thanks for the advice. i went ahead and applied a copper paste to the hole and general area; hopefully i will be able to arrest whatever is going on
in the meantime i did go to a citrus grove this morning and i saw a whole bunch of orange and other trees with similar holes on their trunks and those trees seem to be healthy and fine; maybe my tree is not doomed
we'll see

Moya making waves this Spring
I've really enjoyed watching the Detroit Tigers' pre-season games so far during Spring Training. I especially like seeing the former West Michigan Whitecaps players wearing the 'D', and hanging with the big boys in major league camp. Nick Castellanos is hitting the ball very well, and proving so far he'll fit nicely into the hot corner at Comerica. It's fun to watch Casey Crosby on the mound, trying to get back to that form that made him a top prospect, and the likes of Hernan Perez, Eugenio Suarez, and Devon Travis patrolling the infield. There is always that one player, however, that really stands out, and this season that guy seems to be outfielder Steven Moya. The 22-year-old started out on a tear this spring, going 2-4 with a double, a triple, and four RBI's against Florida Southern College in the Tigers' exhibition game. He recently followed that up with another impressive performance against the St. Louis Cardinals, being a home run away from hitting for the cycle, and knocking in another four RBI's. So far in Grapefruit League play, he's batting .412, with two doubles, a triple, and five RBI's (stats against FSC don't count). Moya was added to the Tigers 40-man roster in December, but despite his play, few think he'll make the Tigers' roster out of spring training.
"I like what I see, but he's young," manager Brad Ausmus told Chris Iott of MLive.com. "He's inexperienced, really. He's had some freak injuries that he missed some time with. I definitely like him. He still needs some time in the oven. He's swung the bat well from day one. He really hasn't let up at all offensively."
Moya played for the Whitecaps during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. In 2011 he struggled a bit, hitting .204, with 10 doubles, and 39 RBI's. He improved drastically in 2012, hitting .288, with 14 doubles, three triples, nine home runs, and 47 RBI's in only 59 games before being injured. He also played in the 2012 Midwest League All-Star Game, going 1-2 with two runs scored, and three RBI's on a bases-loaded triple. We should have a good chance to see Moya play this season if he stays in the minors, as we'll be making stops in both Toledo and Erie form some games this June. All the best to him the rest of the spring, and for the 2014 season.
UPDATE: Moya has been optioned to Double-A Erie SeaWolves. The Tigers also cut five other players on Friday, bring the number of players in major league camp to 40. Moya's final big league camp numbers are a .333 average, with five doubles, and one triple in 21 at-bats.
"You can make an argument he was the MVP of camp. The problem is that he was in A-ball and he really just needs to play. He needs experience," Ausmus stated to MLive.com. "We certainly have a high ceiling for him. But asking a guys with 90 games in A-ball to go to the big leagues is an enormous jump. So, the best thing for Steven Moya is to play."

Whitecaps Update: Tigers in West Michigan
Whitecaps Winter Banquet: Last weekend the Whitecaps held their annual Winter Banquet, and over 20 current Detroit Tiger players, along with GM Dave Dombrowski attended. The players who attended included Al Alburquerque, Joba Chamberlain, Bryan Holaday, Austin Jackson, Steve Lombardozzi, Justin Miller, Rick Porcello, Max Scherzer, and Drew Smyly. Former Whitecaps now with Detroit also attended, like Nick Castellanos, Andy Dirks, Don Kelly, Hernan Perez, and Bruce Rondon. Some Tiger coaches also made an appearance, along with announcer Dan Dickerson. Whitecaps' owners Lew Chamberlin and Denny Baxter spoke about the ballpark situation, and feel confident it will be ready by opening day, and fully restored by the Midwest League All-Star game in June.
"It will look better than ever, and we will be ready to go into the future for another 20 years", Chamberlin stated. "Those are ambitious goals, but that's what we're going to do."
Dombrowski also spoke, and showed the Tiger organizations support for their Single-A affiliate. He stated: "When you see the commitment of Lew and Denny and their staff, and also the community involvement and what you are doing and what you are overcoming, it shows what type of individuals that run this franchise and are involved in this city. From the Detroit Tigers perspective, we have no doubt that the West Michigan club will be ready to play and we'll do whatever we can. You have our total support."
There were also auctions that took place at the event, and they raised $58, 528 for YMCA Inner City Youth Baseball and Softball programs. Jon Connolly was unable to attend the event, but the former 'Caps pitcher was inducted into their Hall of Fame. The event at DeVos Place was also a homecoming for other alumni like Castellanos, who is slated to be the Tigers starting third baseman this season. He seemed to have fond memories of his first full pro season.
"At this point, that was still my most favorite season that I ever had," Castellanos told MLive. com. "I had the most fun, I learned the most and it definitely gave me an idea what pro ball was going to be like. It's a day-in, day-out grind, and I fell in love with it. I think that we had a great deal of the fan support that we had here, they made playing so much fun. It was definitely a reality check. It introduced me to professional baseball."
Tiger Fridays: Oh, yes! The Tiger Fridays are back in West Michigan this season, with some great former players making appearances. The 'Caps brass has secured another impressive list of Tiger alumni, as well as one special guest for a special night. We kick it off on May 30, with Ron Leflore making an appearance. I remember ready his book, and it was really eye-opening. I recommend it for any baseball fan. On June 6, they welcome Daryl Patterson. He was a member of the 1968 World Series Champions, going 11-9, with a 4.09 ERA. Glenn Wilson comes to West Michigan on June 27th. Wilson suited up for Detroit in the early 80's. July 18 will be a homecoming for Grand Rapids native, and '68 Champ Mickey Stanley. Stanley was an excellent fielder, winning Gold Gloves in 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1973. On August 1st, the 'Caps will be celebrating the 1984 World Series, with former manager Tom Brookens (who led West Michigan to the 2007 MWL championship) representing the Tigers, and Steve Garvey (who played at Michigan State), representing the Padres. The Tiger Fridays will conclude on August 22 with Craig Monroe, who now works as with Fox Sports Detroit. I would really love to make it down to meet Mickey Stanley, though. We'll see how the summer goes!

Loons alum Kershaw wins NL Cy Young
Los Angeles Dodgers' hurler Clayton Kershaw has won the Cy Young award for being the best pitcher in the National League. With a recor of 16-9 and a microscopic ERA of 1.83, not too many can really argue. Before he became a star on the west coast, however, he honed his stills in the Midwest League as a member of the Great Lakes Loons in 2007. I remember a lot of talk about him back then, like everyone knew that this kid was going to be that good. In 25 starts for the Loons, he ended up 8-7 with a 2.95 ERA. The sad part is, though, I never was able to see him pitch down in Midland. And to think, just one season later, he was making his big league debut with the Dodgers. A new team in 2007, the Loons had Lance Parrish as their manager, who was a member of the 1984 World Series Champion Detroit Tigers. So, the only game I attended that season, I was more determined to meet a local hero like Parrish then an up-and-coming superstar. That was my mistake, though seeking an autograph from a starting pitcher isn't an easy task. On days they pitch, they're not allowed to sign autgraphs, and on days they don't they're not really out of the dugout, or even in uniform at times. It would have been nice to have seen him pitch, but it's always good to have alumni do well and make through the system, and in Kershaw's case excel at the highest level.

Wil Myers wins AL ROY
Congrats to Wil Myers of the Tampa Bay Rays on winning the 2013 American League Rookie of the Year award. I was lucky enough to see him play back in May while he was still a member of the Durham Bulls of the International League and even back in 2010 when he was playing for the Burlington Bees of the Midwest League. Wil posted a .293 average, with 13 home runs, and 53 RBI's this season with the Rays. Just another example to get out to the Minor League ballparks when you get a chance. You never know what future award winners you'll be witnessing.

Former Lugnut no-hits Tigers
Despite having one of the worse records in the Midwest League this season, the Lansing Lugnuts fared very well against their in-state rival West Michigan Whitecaps, affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. Some of that magic must have sprinkled onto Lugnut alumni Henderson Alvarez, who, as a member of the Miami Marlins, through a no-hitter against the Tigers yesterday. Detroit had no answer for Alvarez, who needed on 99 pitches to shut down mighty Motor City team in a 1-0 victory. For Alvarez, the season ended much better than it began. He started the season on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, and missed the first three months of the season. Pitching for Lansing in 2009, he went 9-6 with a 3.47 ERA with 92 strike outs. Coincidentally, he faced five former Whitecaps in yesterday's game: Don Kelly (0-4), Andy Dirks (0-3), Omar Infante (0-2), Nick Castellanos (0-1), and Roman Santiago (0-3). Former 'Cap Luke Putkonen took the loss for Detroit, after giving up two hits, walking a batter, and throwing a wild pitch. A former West Michigan catching combo was left on the bench, however, as Alex Avila for Detroit, and Rob Brantly for the Marlins did not play. If the Tigers don't break out of this offensive slump, it could be a short run in the play-offs this season.

Current and former Whitecaps dealt
It's the trade deadline, and the Detroit Tigers decided to make some moves to improve the teams chances at making the post season. Unfortunately, the moves included trading away two West Michigan Whitecaps alumni, and one of their current players. The Tigers' first move took West Michigan's starting left fielder Danry Vasquez and sent him to the Houston Astros organization. In return, Detroit acquired relief pitcher Jose Veras. Vasquez struggled last season with the Whitecaps, but went down to Connecticut and ended up leading the NY-Penn League in hits. This season he's been hitting .281 with five home runs and 39 RBI's. He started the season hitting in the number three slot, but moved to lead-off hitter in June. He will be staying in the Midwest League, however, suiting up for the Quad Cities River Bandits.
"It made me sad that I will be leaving the Detroit Tigers organization but it made me excited that Houston made a trade for me," Vasquez stated to Ben Chiswick, the Whitecaps' radio announcer (and courtesy of MLive.com).
The Tigers next dealt outfielder Avisail Garcia and relief pitcher Brayan Villarreal to the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox in a three-way deal. The full deal sends Garcia to the ChiSox, Jake Peavy from Chicago to the BoSox, Villarreal to Boston, and the Tigers get short stop Jose Iglesias from the Red Sox. Iglesias is said to be one of the best young middle infielders in the game today, so it will be excited watching him in Detroit. Villarreal has been sidelined in Toledo due to a thumb injury, but has been up with Detroit part-time for the last three seasons. He is 4-8 with a 4.56 ERA with the Tigers. During the 2008 season he split between the GCL Tigers and the Whitecaps, he was 1-6 with a 4.69 ERA and 37 strikeouts. He spent the entire 2009 season in West Michigan, going 5-5 with a 2.87 ERA and 118 strikeouts. As for Garcia, he was one of the top prospects in the Tigers organization, hitting .241 with two home runs and 10 RBI's with the big club this season. He also played in West Michigan in 2009, splitting the season with the Lakeland Flying Tigers. He hit .264 with 31 RBI's that year. Spending the entire 2010 season with the Whitecaps, he hit .281 with 17 doubles and 63 RBI's. Good luck to all three players with their new clubs. We'll still be keeping track of these guys.

Jurrjens back with Tigers
Former Detroit Tigers and West Michigan Whitecaps pitcher Jair Jurrjens is back. The Tigers signed him to a minor league deal, and he will report to the Toledo Mud Hens today. He last pitched in Detroit in 2007, before being traded to Atlanta. Despite his health issues, the Tigers are hoping to put him into the rotation, and not the bullpen as of yet.
"He kind of came on the scene pretty good," Detroit manager Jim Leyland stated. "Pretty calm. Pretty collected. Make a good impression. Evidently, he's had a lot of health issues since we had him, so I don't have any recent update on him."
Back in 2007, he went 3-1 with the Tigers, with a 4.70 ERA. Pitching for the Whitecaps in 2005, we was 12-6, with a 3.41 ERA and 108 strikeouts. He was a member of the 'Caps 20th anniversary team.

2013 Baseball Trip: No shoes, black sox, no problem
'Shoeless' Joe Jackson Museum-Greenville, SC: While in Greenville, we also visited the 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson Museum, which is located right behind Flour Field. The folks who run the museum are the nicest you'd ever meet, and they love their baseball. They stated that they spend more time at the museum than their own homes! They are also extremely knowledgeable about Joe and the history of baseball in the area. The museum is in Joe's home that he had built-in 1940. Unfortunately, many of his trophies and memorabilia were taken after the death of his wife. It's believed that family members came to the house and took most those items. It's a nice little museum and a must for any baseball fan in the area, especially if your taking in a Drive game anyway.
Learning from the Pros
Carpenter Field-Charleviox, MI: This weekend the boys and I headed south to Charlevoix so Trevor could participate in a baseball clinic hosted by the MLBPAA Alumni and Little League Baseball. A good number of former Major Leaguers were on hand to teach kids ages 6-16. Some of the players on hand were Doug Mirabelli (Red Sox), Roger Mason (Tigers, Mets, Giants), Dennis Rasmussen (Yankees), Bruce Look (Twins), and Rob Ellis (Brewers). The alumni did a great job of giving the kids instruction in a positive manner, and they were all very patient with the younger kids. Trevor had a great time, and really learned from it. They were also talked to about respect and hard work, whether you're playing baseball or doing anything else in life. My only regret, actually, is not fudging Brian's age and letting him join the fun. He would have done very well, also. After the clinic the kids were given hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips for lunch, and the MLB Alumni signed autographs for them. The weather was beautiful, and it was a great day for us all around! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants their child to succeed.

Bruce Rondon Q & A
Here's a question and answer segment off of MiLB.com by Andrew Pentis. There's been much talk about Bruce Rondon this season, and he's been under the microscope all spring. After a few shakey innings, he's settled down in his last few outings and thrown the ball pretty well. Hopefully he keeps his off-speed pitches under contol, and really helps the Tigers out this season. Rondon pitched for the 'Caps in 2011, with a record of 2-2 with a 2.03 ERA, 19 saves, and 61 strike-outs. Here's the interview by Pentis:
The last time the Tigers started grooming a closer with 100 mph heat and a tattoo running down his forearm, things didn't go according to plan. Joel Zumaya, who sported flames on his skin and whipped his elbow high into the air and seemingly above his cap, struck out 97 batters in 62 games as a rookie in 2006. His violent motion limited him to an average of 27 relief appearances over the next four seasons, and he hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2010.
Bruce Rondon is not Joel Zumaya.
And his style gets results. After saving 29 games with three Detroit affiliates last season — nine more than his Opening Day goal — Rondon is MLB.com's No. 92 prospect and in his first Major League camp. If he succeeds there, few among the long-tenured Tigers will remember at all the hurler he only slightly resembles.
Thanks to Tigers official Aileen Villarreal for transcribing and then translating Rondon's Spanish into English.
MiLB.com: How would you describe your mind-set and approach while on the mound?
MiLB.com: Has that always been your attitude?
Rondon: Always. Every time I'm on the mound, I always think I'm the best. Off the mound, I don't think that, but when I'm on there I have to have that mentality, that I'm the best and that I'm invincible.
MiLB.com: Your repertoire should inspire self-assuredness. Tell us about it.
Rondon: Fastball, slider and changeup. The fastball, I try to throw over 100 [mph]. The changeup is around 92-93. The slider is around 86-88. From last year 'til now, I would say I have [improved my] control. I've worked very hard to control them.
MiLB.com: You're obviously known for your fastball. Were you always able to throw hard growing up or did a specific mechanical change in your career increase your velocity?
Rondon: Yes, I could always throw the ball pretty hard. Actually, they didn't let me pitch when I was young because I threw the ball too hard. Everyone knew [I could pitch], but they wanted me to hit. [Then I was converted] into a catcher.
MiLB.com: Could you have ended up playing that position?
Rondon: Honestly, I never loved being a catcher; my love was always pitching. It was something that always inspired me, that caught my attention, that motivated me. I felt happy pitching, and it was just always what I loved. so when they asked me if I wanted to pitch I was very excited and of course said yes. [That was when] I signed with the Tigers [on Sept. 12, 2007].
MiLB.com: Before you made your way to the States, what was baseball like at home in Valencia, Venezuela?
Rondon: The crowds over there are very aggressive. It's a little crazy, but it can be motivating because when you do well, the whole stadium gets up and cheers. On the other hand, when you don't have a good outing, you have to know how to handle it with the crowds. The greatest thing in the world for me is when my family is able to watch me play. Sometimes I'm sad when I'm playing here and look in the stands and they're not there. When I was growing up, I would always tell my dad that I was going to pitch professionally so that they could watch me play.
MiLB.com: How good of a hitter were you? Do you think you could have made it as a position player?
Rondon: During batting practice, I was good, but not really during the game. Maybe after practicing, I could learn, but I don't think so.
MiLB.com: How old were you when you turned to pitching full-time?
Rondon: I was 15. [I had] never practiced. I knew I could throw, but I had to start from point zero. When they told me I was going to pitch, I was so excited that I was going to be pitching that it didn't matter about taking the hits I was going to take. I wanted to learn, so I started with just my fastball. I didn't have any other pitches aside from my fastball. Once I got to the Tigers, they helped me with my pitching and I have really learned a lot.
MiLB.com: What is the fastest reading you've registered on a radar gun?
Rondon: 104 mph — against the [Class A Advanced] Yankees at their stadium in Tampa. My teammates told me after the game. They said, "Rondon, we have some news for you." I asked them what had happened. They told me I had thrown the ball 104. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. Then they showed me the radar gun and I said, "Wow."
MiLB.com: Have you ever been on a team with a pitcher who threw harder than you?
Rondon: It has always been me so far.
MiLB.com: That would seem to inspire a nickname. What's yours?
Rondon: Up to this point, I have not gotten one.
MiLB.com: Bruce doesn't seem like it would be a popular first name in Venezuela. Where does it come from?
Rondon: My dad loves Bruce Lee. My dad wanted to name me "Bruce Lee." My mom didn't want the "Lee," but she was fine with the "Bruce."
MiLB.com: Where does your dad's admiration for the martial arts master come from?
Rondon: He loves all the Bruce Lee movies. He always asks me to get him Bruce Lee movies from here and shirts and those kinds of things. [Lee] was big for him because he made it to the United States by himself. My dad would always tell me that I would make it to the United States by myself and I was going to accomplish big things … and here I am now. Things have happened where I think, "Wow, my dad was right."
MiLB.com: So your name works on a couple different levels …
Rondon: Maybe he chose that name became [Lee] never lost faith. I would always tell him that I loved baseball and he'd tell me, "Son, you have to work a lot and work hard because it will be very difficult for you to be in the United States by yourself." I didn't believe him because I was young, but everything that he told me was true. Sometimes [now] my family will call me and tell me, "Son, you came out in the newspaper next to Miguel [Cabrera]," and I tell them sometimes, "I'm next to him and can't even believe it."
MiLB.com: What would it mean for your family back in Venezuela if you make a Major League Opening Day roster?
Rondon: I'll tell you this, they probably wouldn't sleep the night before. They really wouldn't sleep because that's what they've been waiting for. If [the Tigers] tell me I'm making it, I probably won't sleep that night, either, from thinking about it so much. Thinking to myself, "Wow, it's me — I'm the closer." It would really be something special if they gave me that news, like a dream come true.
MiLB.com: Do you notice a different feel to the ninth inning, compared with pitching in the seventh or eighth inning?
Rondon: Honestly, I don't like throwing in the fifth, sixth, seventh innings. It just isn't the same attention, it's not the same adrenaline. When you come out in the ninth inning, people are waiting for the ninth inning. People are thinking, "Wow, there comes the closer." And that is what motivates me, what gets me going.

Demand for frac-sand appears to be sinking in western Wisconsin...for now
The demand for frac-sand appears to be sinking in western Wisconsin and Minnesota – as least for now. Over 100 silica sand mines opened in the Badger State in recent years, the most in the nation, amid a demand by oil-and-gas companies to use it in their domestic drilling equipment. However, the Winona Daily News quotes both industry and government officials as saying the demand for frac-sand has cooled off greatly this year – but it will grow again soon.

- University of Athens: On 20 March Izabella Majcher presented a paper titled "Immigration Detention under EU Law and International Obligations of Member States" at the conference "Regulating 'irregular' migration: International obligations and international responsibility," held at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
- UN Committee on Migrant Workers: In March the GDP provided submissions to the UN Committee on Migrant Workers for the List of Issues Prior to Reporting for Honduras and Nicaragua, to be adopted at the Committee's 22 session in April 2015.
- UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: At the request of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, the GDP submitted a list of final edits and additions for the "draft basic principles and guidelines on remedies and procedures on the right of anyone deprived of his or her liberty by arrest or detention to bring proceedings before court, in order that the court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of his or her detention and order his or her release if the detention is not lawful." Read the submission here. This intervention follows on the GDP's previous submission from January 2014, which were provided as part of a thematic study undertaken by the WGAD in preparation for the drafting of the basic principles and guidelines. Read the January 2014 submission.
- Odysseus conference: on 6 February 2015, Mariette Grange chaired a session "Introducing the notion of alternatives to detention in the EU policy-making " at the Odysseus Network Final Conference of the "Made Real" Project: Alternatives to Immigration Detention in The EU: The Time For Implementation organized at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium.
- International Studies Association: Cecilia Cannon, former research assistant at the GDP, presented a paper she coauthored with Michael Flynn at the ISA's 56th Annual Convention in New Orleans (18-21 February 2015). The paper was titled "Does Privatization Explain the Poor Treatment of People in Immigration Detention?"
Detention News (français, español)
The Global Detention Project is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
"The [new U.S. House of Representatives government funding bill] adds 2,000 agents at border ports and mandates that Immigration and Customs Enforcement 'maintain a level of not less than 34,000 detention beds through September 30, 2014.' This represents, at a cost of 2.8 billion, 'the highest detention capacity in history.' It is mindless to keep throwing billions at border enforcement and detention at a time when illegal immigration [in the United States] is at historic lows. ... Why make the people who run a vast and expensive law-enforcement apparatus responsible for keeping prison beds warm rather than communities safe--especially when there are low-cost alternatives to detention that don't involve fattening the bottom lines of for-profit prison corporations?"
New York Times, 20 January 2014
"[Immigration] detention is the opposite of criminalization in the sense that it is putting people in prison without using the criminal process. ... The present system we have is one of administrative discretion that allows a vast amount of detention to go on without any proper rules of law and oversight. If there is going to be detention it should be criminal rather than administrative. That would make it much harder to detain. Governments would have to rethink because the criminal process is just a lot more difficult, and more costly, and more demanding."
Dan Wilsher, Presentation at the Graduate Institute, 8 March 2012.
"Allowing the private sector to run immigration detention will mean ... an ever increasing number of people coming into the system and staying there longer ... as companies seek to maintain and expand their markets."
Stephen Nathan, Presentation at the Graduate Institute, Geneva, 2 March 2010
Featured Countries
With Libya experiencing large-scale internal displacement as the country becomes increasingly engulfed in civil war, migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees are finding themselves systematically exposed to arbitrary and indefinite detention. Concerns highlighted by observers include the increasing absence of oversight at detention facilities as social services in the country grind to a halt, the involvement of militias in detaining foreigners, the lack of any legal process providing for detention, the corruption and endemic anti-black racism apparent at detention facilities, and the "abysmal" and "unacceptable" conditions at most facilities. Despite these concerns, the EU and Italy have continued to invest millions of Euros in Libyan detention efforts and maintain pressure on the country to block the passage of migrants and asylum seekers hoping to make it to Europe.
In early 2014, Austria opened its first specialized immigration detention facility. The development comes after more than two decades of criticism from national and international observers, who have pressed the country not to detain migrants and asylum seekers in prisons and other criminal facilities. The opening, however, was accompanied by controversy because of the decision to outsource security and other services at the facility to a much-criticized private prison firm, G4S. The development also coincides with marked decreases in the numbers of people detained for immigration-related reasons, which have gone down by some 30 percent over the last five years, a trend observed in several other EU countries.
Germany's immigration detention policies contrast sharply with those of its EU neighbours: It makes widespread use of prisons and it places authority over immigration matters in the hands of regional authorities. The decentralized nature of this system presents important challenges in getting comprehensive information about detention practices and establishing accountability. For instance, federal authorities often claim that they do not have statistics on immigration detention and some regional authorities have claimed that information about this issue is "sensitive." Germany's detention policies were the subject of recent ground-breaking legal cases at the Court of Justice of the European Union, which ruled that Germany cannot rely on the fact that there are no dedicated detention facilities in a given Land to justify keeping non-citizens in prison pending their removal. On the other hand, the number of detainees in the county has sharply fallen in recent years. One official told the Global Detention Project, "There are important discussions going on right now in Germany about whether we should be detaining immigrants at all."

"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
"I love these announcements because they are not like every other announcement I see. The matte finish makes it look like a higher quality (rather than glossy finish). I personally used the coffee color rather than the pink which made the pink in the heart (date) pop more. The only thing I wish I had done differently is get a professional picture taken, but that's on me, not Tiny Prints."

Is this okay for insulation?
I called a few spray foam insultion companies, and got one guy to call me back. He came out and gave us a quote; this is his reccomendation... Spray closed-cell foam half-way down the wall (taking down the fiberglass batts that are inbetween the floor joists above the foundation to spray) 1" thick. He quoted the job at $500, or offered to spray top to bottom for $1000.
I'm at a loss here..sounds like a great price, but I'm concerned it won't do a good job insulating. DH has already put up the studwalls, so attaching XPS would be a PITA. Thoughts?
I just had closed cell spray foam put in my basement.
Not sure I understand why he would only do 1/2 a wall - that wouldn't work as far as adequate insulation. Depending on the size of your space, $1000 seems a bit low. I paid $1900 for 3" of closed cell applied to 3 walls (24 feet each). We tried doing it on the blank walls which didn't work and ended up spraying after the framing was up. It really is the best (but most expensive) solution for insulating below grade.
In a 4,000F. heating degree day location, R-5 in the upper half of the basement will cut heat loss from the basement by half, according to Building Science Corp. ( See link.)
But since we don't know your zone or the area covered, it's impossible to know whether this is a fair price or sufficient in itself as insulation.
You should be aware though that is against Code to leave the sprayed foam as is. It must be coated or covered in a fire-rated material.
Here is a link that might be useful: Understanding Basements
Our basement is roughly 30'x35', and our walls are about 8 or 9' high. We live in northern Kentucky.
E- He only quoted doing 1" thick, so maybe that's a good part of the price difference.
Worthy- I read through your link-a lot of good infomation that I'm just not processing right now. My brain is taking a Sunday.
Also, if I have spray foam put in should I put install things like in-wall speakers before the foam is sprayed or after?
Thanks for the help!
The International Residential Code, which has been adopted in many US states, requires R-10 continuous or R-13 if placed in interior framing, in basements in Climate Zone 4, which includes most of northern Kentucky.
If you're planning a conventional framed wall interior, spray all the way to the floor. Then just fill the space between with fg batts (or another inch of the foam) and you'll meet the Code. Mount speakers, electrical boxes etc. on the framing. If for some reason you want or need something mounted on the foundation, Tapcon an inch or two thickness of rigid extruded foam on the wall first.
If you go with the inch thickness only, be sure it is consistently at least an inch thick.
Here, where minimum wage is $10.25 an hour, your quote would be cheap.

Irish students oppose gay marriage ruling
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
"It is a similar ruling to that of Celia Kitzinger and Sue Wilkinson who were told by the High Court in London that their Canadian marriage could not be recognised in the UK."I disagree. The ruling in the UK was about whether the marriage would be recognised as marriage or a civil partnership, as I understand, but the case in Ireland seems to be more about having any rights at all. Since the difference between marriage and cp is almost entirely one of language, it's a different issue to the actual lack of rights in Ireland. This isn't to say the language isn't important. I admit I'm not totally up on all of this, but that's how it seems to me. Right?

Looking for ID for an old favorite
If anyone knows the name of this one, I would really appreciate it. It is just like one I have had for many years. Its a very hardy plant, but recently the blooms have changed color. One leaf I rooted bloomed with pale blue edges and also the plant bloomed in the dark color only the last time.
I am giving the link, since it is someone else's plant, but it is the same as mine.
I am sorry, I don't know how to make a link.
Thanks so much.
On this page there is a flower that looks quite like that one. You have to scroll down the page to find it.
Not sure if the leaf description matches your plant. You can try searching for African Violet Chimera and look at a few of the websites that show up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Royal Dazzler
AND - I was Googling something unrelated about AVs and stumbled on a blog and the banner at the top looks like your plant. The information at the side says its Yukako.
Here is a link that might be useful: Houseplant Guru Blog
You probably have Optimara Chico. Below is a link to a picture; the picture is obviously more purple than blue.

A farewell to arms: Is it time to get rid of our guns?
Our best shot at protecting the common good isn't to keep loading up on guns.
A few weeks before Adam Lanza began his shooting rampage among children in Newtown, Connecticut last December, Catholic priests in Chicago were leading weary processions against gun violence on the city's gang-terrorized South Side. If the Newtown murders were a shock to the system, the regular gun violence that claims hundreds of lives each year in Chicago and other cities across the country has become so "normal" that the mayhem only occasionally warrants the raising of an editorial eyebrow.

This is such a masterpiece... I actually felt the terror of that man when watching it :S
Just awesome. The suspense kept going throughout, and it managed to be scary without a jump scare or any obvious threats. I especially loved the setting, the cabin was isolated and lonely, making it more creepy. The ending was not the monster(s) I was expecting, but honestly it just as horrifying. Death by furries... Kinda makes you shudder.
Everything was awesome, Ending made it even better :P

show me your 'entrys'
Actually, in a lot of smaller homes, the entrance and living room are all one in the same. :)
I have a ranch style home. When you walk in the front door, you are in the combined living room/dining room. We recently pulled up the carpet and we will have the wood floors re-finished in a couple of weeks. What we need to decide is what to do with the "entrance".
When you come in the door, directly to your right is a small coat closet. Then in front of you is the dining area and to your left is the living room. We have about a space that is about 80" wide by 52" deep to put flooring down. Depending on the flooring used, we may need to cut out some of the wood floor, unless we can just lay right on top of it. Currently there is a place where slate used to be that is about 52" by 52" and it just has subfloor.
So, what kind of material would you use for this tiny entryway? My dad suggested Duraceramic, which we are considering, but it has got mixed reviews and I'm not sure its my final choice. I went to a tile shop and now I am considering travertine. The good news is my Dad is a contractor, so we can get a lot of materials at cost. The bad news is if Dad is not willing to install, we have to pay someone labor. If Dad installs, he accepts payment in the form of a couple of home cooked meals. But Dad is not as young as he used to be and I think Dad is going based on what he thinks will be easiest.
This is an old picture of mine. I actually have a separate entry, though small. It is L-shaped and I am standing on the side to take the photo. That is the front door on the right, the coat closet next to it, and the opening to the living room opposite the front door. I am standing in the L that goes to the den (fka the garage). The flooring is tile - we are on a cement slab. The living room is wood and there is a transition piece between the tile and wood to cover the height difference. There is carpet in the den and it just butts up to the tile.
If your house is like my mom's house, the "entry" is just a square of tile inside the door. When I grew up, there was no tile there, the whole thing was wood floor. She added ceramic tile a few years ago and I don't really care for it. I'm sure it is less worry than cleaning the wood after people come in with wet feet, but like steph said, the tile is higher than the wood and I swear I trip on it every time I'm there because the corner of it has to be crossed to walk from the bedrooms to the dining room.

13 Years In Jail For Writing On A Sidewalk With Chalk?
Originally published on Sun June 30, 2013 12:37 pm
There's no evidence that he wrote anything obscene.
His messages could be easily erased.
And they don't seem to have upset many, if any, people.
But in San Diego, 40-year-old Jeffrey Olson is on trial for expressing his opinions on sidewalks outside three Bank of America branches. He's charged with 13 counts of vandalism. Jury deliberations began Friday, our colleagues at KPBS say. If convicted on all counts, they add, he faces up to 13 years in prison.
Just what did Olson say on the sidewalks from February 2012 to August 2012 that led to complaints from the bank and the vandalism charges?
According to Gawker, the things Olson wrote to express his anger over the financial mess that banks got into and the federal bailout they needed in 2008 included:
-- "No Thanks, Big Banks"
-- "Shame on Bank of America"
The messages were "always on city sidewalks, washable chalk, never crude messages, never vulgar, clearly topical," Olson told the local CBS affiliate before the judge imposed a gag order on the prosecution and defense.
This case has understandably raised questions in San Diego about whether authorities should be prosecuting Olson. The Union-Tribune writes that:
"If the city loses the case, it might be chalked up to jurors who question if the city should be spending taxpayer money bringing charges against someone who plied his activism — or vandalism — using something that can be easily washed away with a hose.
"During jury selection, Deputy City Attorney Paige Hazard asked 12 potential jurors if they thought the case against Olson was a poor use of taxpayer money. At least six hands shot up.
" 'I think this is a tremendous waste,' said one."
We have a question (not a scientific survey of public opinion).

Not really…there are a lot of beautiful people who still feel insecure about themselves. People pick up on that and it makes them seem awkward and a little less likable. You can be as ugly as sin, but if you're charming and well-balanced people tend to like you.

The CG in this series was pretty bad. The ocean too. I mean, the characters don't really blend in with the backgrounds or anything.

Honeymoon at PoseidonPosted Oct 15, 2014
This family run hotel gives you the beauty of positano at a fair rate without skimping on the luxury of the experience. It is a beautiful hotel with an amazing roof top restaurant and pool. I can't rave more about the staff who were kind friendly and accommodating. We even met one of the owners who made our honeymoon even more special by treating us to good company and dinner. He sets the tone for the rest of the staff. Overall an outstanding experience. I highly recommend the hotel especially if you want a personal human touch.

This hotel was amazing. I had a large terrace connected to my room, providing me with a gorgeous ocean and hillside view every morning. Breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations and scheduling taxi rides. The hotel itself is in a very central location, only a short walk to the beach and close to the shops. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Best hotel in PoitanoPosted Sep 29, 2014 on Hotels.com
Positano is basically a small valley converging on a beach. The Poseidon is on the right side with the best view down the Amalfi coast. The hotel is very traditional but the service, location , ambience and food are immaculate even the walk down the hill into town is just right. My wife and I will definitely go again. Go for an upgraded room and save yourself a fortune versus the Siranuse

Første natten var mindre bra. Rom 31 hadde fukt på badet og luktet mugg. Hotellet ordnet nytt og flott rom med fantastisk utsikt. Servicen på hotellet svarte ikke helt opp til de fire stjernene. Unntaket var Angelo i resepsjonen som var veldig hyggelig og flinkt til å følge opp.

Fantastic hotel with caring and professional staffPosted Sep 8, 2014
Pros: The staff were always helpful. You could tell they took pride in their work and wanted guests to truly feel welcome to the hotel and the town.
Cons: Little, if anything, could be improved. Minor suggestion: hotel staff could memorize room numbers. Asking for the number seemed impersonal at times.
Location: Located on Via Pasitea, there is a pharmacy about 300 m away, and about 100 m away there is a narrow set of stairs and alleys that leads to the beach.
Hotel Poseidon is a truly wonderful place to stay in Positano. Whether watching the sunrise at breakfast or having a drink on the terrace after dinner, the hotel staff are conscientious without being over-bearing and the views are stunning. My wife and I stayed here last week for our Honeymoon. We stayed in a Superior Room, which included a private balcony with a view overlooking Positano and the sea. The room itself was clean, well-appointed with antique furniture, and small but not cramped, which was fine because when at the hotel, we were often on our balcony, in the hotel's lounge or on the terrace. The bed was comfortable. The housekeeping staff kept the room immaculate. With the patio doors closed, the room was quiet. We found the hotel's location to be perfect for our needs. We were far enough away to enjoy the sounds of the village from our balcony without any one sound disrupting our stay, but able get to the beach in less than 10 minutes down the steep stairs and alleys near the hotel, if needed. Lastly, and most importantly, the staff at Hotel Poseidon were excellent. We had to check out early in the morning. Without any hesitation, one of the head servers offered to let us into the restaurant at 6:30 am for a simple meal and coffee while she and her staff prepared for the 7:30 am breakfast service. This was just one of many small kindnesses freely provided by the hotel staff during our stay, the sum total of which made our time at Hotel Poseidon unforgettable.

Beautiful and ComfortablePosted Sep 2, 2014
We had a corner suite with a large balcony. The scenary was beautiful, the hotel is clean and the staff are very nice and helpful. Two things you should know: it's quite a walk to the beach and center of town (especially on the way back up the stairs when you're tired and heavy!). Two: if the people next door are smokers and they sit in their balcony and smoke, expect your own balcony to be useless as the smoke will come to your side and into your rooms. Other than that, we loved it, for a small village of Positano the hotel Posidon exceeded our expectations.

Mikkelsen: Hankook making big steps
|By David Evans
|Saturday, October 16th 2010, 15:46 GMT
Andreas Mikkelsen says the latest development Hankook tyres have helped him find more pace from his Ford Fiesta S2000 - with the Norwegian running a close second on the Rally of Scotland.
Mikkelsen is just 12 seconds adrift of Juho Hanninen's lead Skoda Fabia S2000 on the Perth-based event's opening day. The 21-year-old moved into second place when transmission trouble his leader Guy Wilks' Skoda, but Mikkelsen is within striking distance of his maiden Intercontinental Rally Challenge success.
"The morning went really well," he said. "We had no problems at all - except for hitting a deer on the first stage.
"We have a new tyre from Hankook here and it's making a lot of difference for us. It has a softer sidewall on the tyre, which means we can run with the car stiffer, meaning we don't have to compromise the set-up of the car at all.
"Okay, we could still do with a little more lateral grip, but really the tyre is a good step forwards."
