For the first time since September 27, 2013, Texas Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar suited up for a regular-season game Thursday night when he served as the designated hitter for the Hickory Crawdads during an injury rehab assignment.
Noticeably more filled out and chiseled than he was as the Crawdads shortstop in 2011, the now 22-year-old Profar missed the past two seasons with a torn shoulder muscle that he suffered in a weightlifting session during spring training, according to the Rangers media guide. After unsuccessfully trying to resume baseball activities several times last year, Profar finally underwent shoulder surgery in February 2015.
Profar has been in Hickory since Tuesday and finally hit the field Thursday night against Charlestown (S.C.) as the designated hitter. He is expected to DH again on Friday before the Crawdads hit the road for Delmarva (Md.) for a five-game series with the Shorebirds. It is not yet been determined how long Profar will be with the Crawdads.
In front of several of the Rangers front office brass – which included senior director of player development Mike Daly and senior director of amateur scouting Kip Fagg – Profar went 1-for-4 with a sharply-lined single to right in his final at bat of the game in the seventh prior to his removal for a pinch-runner.
Batting left handed in all four plate appearances, Profar was jammed by a fastball for a 4-3 grounder in the first. He then popped up a fastball to second in the third before topping a curve ball in the fourth for a weak 1-3 comebacker.
As far as the shoulder goes, Profar said that it felt good and the prescribed throwing program is coming along well. Profar is not expected to do any throwing in games until this fall.
While Profar missed playing the game over the past two seasons, he doesn't envision a major setback of what was once a fast-track journey to the majors once he resumes playing on a regular basis.
Profar understands the full recovery of his shoulder is a long process and that it will take time. Rather than being in an anxious rush back to get back to Arlington, he is content to let the process play out as he gets back onto the field.
One perk of Profar's time in Hickory is the opportunity to play with his younger brother Juremi, an infielder with the Crawdads.
NOTES: Profar is the sixth major-leaguer to rehab in Hickory. Others included Jason Bere ('96-'97), Jim Abbott ('98), Josias Manzanillo ('02), Adam LaRoche ('08), and Daniel Bard ('14). Profar is the first former player to return to Hickory in a major league assignment… Profar is the 51st player to play for Hickory in 2015. That ties the club record for the most players on a Crawdads roster for a season. The 2008 team also had 51 players… The Profar brothers are the second set of brothers to play for the team at the same time. In 2014, pitchers David and Ryan Ledbetter were on the roster together for the first month of the season. Pitchers Jose and Anyelo Leclerc wore a Crawdads uniform a year apart. Jose pitched for Hickory in 2013 with Anyelo coming a year later…. Profar comes to Hickory at the age of 22-years, five-months. According to Baseball Reference.com, the average age of South Atlantic League hitters is 21.5-years-old, while the average pitcher is 22.0.
In the space of three seasons, Jerad Eickhoff has gone from low-A starter to a highly-sought trade piece that brought then- Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels to the Texas Rangers. In many ways, the ascension of Eickhoff to major league pitcher is a continuation of a series of events that started at Mater Dei High School in Evansville, Ind.
In many ways, Eickhoff was the normal midwestern kid who played whatever sport was in season at the time, but it was in baseball that he excelled. A third baseman mostly in high school, Eickhoff said he threw only about six innings in junior season before his coaches convinced him to give pitching a longer look. He increased his work load to 45 innings in his senior season before heading off to the junior-college ranks.
After his freshman season at Olney (Ill.) Community College, Eickhoff was the 46th round pick of the Chicago Cubs. However, he chose to return to Olney CC for his sophomore season, during which he struck out 116 in 88.1 innings and earned NJCAA All-American honors. The Rangers picked him up in the 15th round pick in 2011 and signed him away from a commitment to Western Kentucky.
Eickhoff spent his first pro season in the bullpen, splitting time between the Arizona Summer League Rangers and Spokane. He went on to make 25 starts for Hickory in 2012, when he posted a 13-7 mark and a 4.69 ERA in 126.2 innings.
His repertoire with Hickory was a fastball that sat in the 90-94 mph range with an occasional cutter to go with a changeup and curve.
As his pitching career rocketed from a high school junior third baseman to a spot as a major league starting pitcher, Eickhoff's stop in Hickory was about learning how to understand what he could and could not control.
The start I remember most from Eickhoff's 2012 season came during a game on July 3rd at Greensboro. Much of the early-inning events worked against Eickhoff.. A misplayed, inning-ending grounder turned into a two-run homer in the first. Two more errors, a passed ball and a disagreement with the umpire's strike zone led to three more runs in the second. At that point, Hickory Crawdads pitching coach Storm Davis made a mound visit.
Eickhoff eventually battled through five innings and the Crawdads rallied back for a 7-6 win – a victory that manager Bill Richardson said was to that point the highlight game of the season.
Eickhoff went on split the 2013 season at high-A Myrtle Beach and AA Frisco and then returned to the RoughRiders in 2014. He was added to the Rangers 40-man roster last winter and spent this season at AAA Round Rock before going to the Phillies chain, with whom he pitched at AAA Lehigh Valley.
Below is an interview I did with Eickhoff, during which he talked about learning to come to terms with what he could and could not control, as well as how he got into pitching.
Eickhoff: My dad (Ron) got me swinging a plastic bat at a whiffle ball when I could first walk. He kind of got it kick started. I enjoyed being in sports.
Did all of you play sports?
Eickhoff: Yeah, we did. We had a pretty athletic family…I played football from 5th grade until my freshman year. I put that aside. I didn't want to get hurt as baseball was my priority. I played baseball and basketball all four years.
What did you play in basketball?
Eickhoff: Shooting guard. I just kind of got some mismatches because I was a taller guy for that position.
How did baseball become a priority for you?
Eickhoff: I guess for me, I just enjoyed me and my dad and my brothers would go out on a Sunday. My grade school had a baseball field there. I just enjoyed taking ground balls and taking fly balls. When you are younger you enjoy, "Dad, see how high you can hit it up; see how high you can hit it and I'll see if I can catch it," and stuff like that. I just enjoyed being on the field and enjoyed getting better at it. It helps that I could hold my ground. I could compete and I just liked having fun.
Did you play other positions in high school?
Eickhoff: I actually didn't pitch. I only pitched six innings my junior year. I pitched like 45 (innings) my senior year. I played more third base.
How did the transformation to the mound get started and what was it like for you?
You kind of accept that; you don't think about it then. As the years kind of took place and I didn't know college was going to be coming about. Some junior colleges started calling and wanted me to pitch and liked me on the mound. That kind of kick started it and I saw my future started opening up. Maybe I could do this in college and see where it takes me. I just needed to get bigger and get more apt to pitching.
What did people see in you and maybe who was the first person to get you started in that direction?
Eickhoff: I think the biggest thing, first of all, was my body type. I was 6-3 at the time, 175 (pounds) and skinny. I had a decent arm. I could get it across the infield from third base. I guess coaches noticed that that I had played with. I had a good motion; (the ball) looked good coming out of the hand. I think that was the starting point for it. Baseball is such a mental game and mentally I was able to do that sort of thing.
Is there somebody that kickstarted you into that direction, or did it evolve?
Eickhoff: I think it just sort of evolved. My high school coaches, Jeff Schulz, and my pitching coach at the time, as well as Buddy Swift. He was my summer coach. They were all three together in the idea that my feature was in pitching.
Did you have the opportunity to go to a four-year school?
Eickhoff: I did have some opportunities to maybe walk-on and get a smaller scholarship. But the way it was panning out was that I'd fight for a spot. It might take two or three years to see some actual playing time. For me, it was important to get playing right away. If I'm playing, I'm getting better. That's what my coaches always preached from day one, my dad as well. I think that was the biggest thing, just getting to play every day and being a key factor on the team and really contributing.
What were some highlights for you in high school?
Eickhoff: When I was a sophomore (2007), we went to the state finals (against Norwell High). I wasn't on the varsity team. I was on the reserve and I got moved up. Although I wasn't on the field, I got to be with the atmosphere of the state finals.
We faced the number 9th overall pick that year, Jarrod Parker, who's now pitching for the Oakland Athletics. That, for me, was a thing I wanted to experience again when I was on varsity the next two years and try to get to things like that. That was a great experience for me.
When you were drafted by the Rangers, was there a thought of waiting a year to see if you could bump up, or the opportunity was there and you took it?
Eickhoff: It was pretty tough for me and my family. I've always been a school guy. I'm pretty apt on the academic side. It was tough to weigh the options. People were saying, "Yeah, there might be more down the road, but you have this chance you have to take right now." It's hard to weigh that. The college is upping their scholarship and Texas is calling and wanting you bad. I think I'd been wanting it for so long to play professional baseball and that opportunity was there, I just felt the opportunity was right and I made the decision.
How did the adjustment to pro ball go for you? What were some things that you had to learn pretty quick?
Eickhoff: I think the biggest thing, which I kind of learned of myself, and my junior college coach (Dennis Conley) instilled in me, it's about yourself and what you can do for yourself as an individual. It's about a team, but what do you do off the field to get yourself ready for that. That's what being a profession is all about is taking care of your business. Your individual goals will come together in a team goal.
That's the biggest thing is taking care of yourself. Keeping your body in check and maintaining your arm care and the conditioning. Take everything upon yourself.
You've gotten off to a 10-4 start (at the time of the interview in early July 2012). I know some of that has been run support, but what's been the key to your success so far?
Eickhoff: I can't complain about the run support. The defense and offense has been really great for me. I tip my hat to those guys and what they've done. I'm just trying to stay consistent and do my best for them as well and get outs and help my team win.
Being a 15th round choice, do you feel like you have to work extra hard because of the draft selection and the coming from a not well-known baseball school?
Eickhoff: Knowing me and my nature, I've always worked as hard as I can. If I was a first-round pick I'd work the same amount as I do now. That's a big thing, to work hard from day one. That's what my mom and my dad instilled in me. I just continue taking it day by day and keep working to see where things take me.
One of the things Storm Davis said in talking about you is having you learn how to let things go that you can't control. Has that been a part of the process of learning to be a pro, whereas before you could strike out a bunch of guys?
Eickhoff: Absolutely. Me and Storm talk every day, and D.C. (Rangers minor league pitching coordinator Danny Clark) as well, about focusing on what you can control and that is when the ball leaves my hand. That's the end of my control. That's all I can do is do that. I can't make the plays at shortstop; I can't make the plays at second. So, what happens, happens. What I can do is make good pitches and hopefully get good results by ground balls and strikeouts. That's the biggest thing, just letting things pass that I can't control.
Is that a continuation of learning about letting go of things you can't control, like being a 15th-round pick?
Eckhoff: Yeah, I wish I was a first-rounder, but that's passed and what's happened, happened. I just continue to work every day and do what I can. What I control is conditioning and the effort I put in and the throwing program and things like that and keeping my body in check. I'm a competitive guy and I'm going to do what I can to try to make it in this game.
What's the thing that you will need to work at most moving up the chain that you'll have to work hardest at?
Eickhoff: One of the biggest things is just letting things go. No matter how bad things may seem on the field, if I give up six runs or so, just reel it in and work on keeping those innings shorter and keeping those innings from exploding. Maybe keeping it at one or two runs instead of five runs. Just continue to pitch instead of walking out and letting negative things seeping in with doubts. Keeping and staying positive, as skip (Bill Richardons) says, "Stay the course" and continue with what I can do and what I can control and be myself as a pitcher.
What do you think has been the biggest success of your season so far?
Eickhoff: I think the success is, obviously, I've been very fortunate to stay healthy. I'm very fortunate for that. I know a lot of guys that have had injuries here and there. I continue to work on things with Storm and Danny Clark and translating that from the bullpen to the game mound when the hitter steps in. I think that's the biggest thing that has helped me translate the success that I've had.
The reports we are getting is that he's a very durable guy. The biggest thing for Jerad is to be able to make adjustments during the game. I think that's one of the positives he has at a young age. I think his work ethic comes into play during the competition. So, Jerad has got a really high up-ceiling, for him. We see a lot of good things that he's doing. He's starting to be able to command the baseball when he's behind in the count. So, I think there's a lot of combinations there that's leading to that success that he has.
With guys at this level, a lot of times quantity is not always quality. I think he separates himself with the quality of work that he puts in along with the quantity. I think that's the way he looks at it and I think that's what we see. So, he is separating himself. A lot of times with young pitchers they don't know how to work. I think he will seek out that information and he's put it into his play.
What's the biggest thing he'll need to work on from here going up the chain?
He's no different than anybody. Obviously, being able to throw strikes behind in the count is one. Number two, just having overall better command. As you go higher, obviously mistakes are not as forgiving. I think he'll adjust to that. I think he's got the capability of adjusting to that and he's got the aptitude to adjust to that.
What are some things that have set him apart in his first full season?
Jared is a really hard worker, so he's physically up to the challenge, not that the other guys aren't. I'd think he'd be the first to tell you that he's not blessed with a lot gifts that some are blessed with. He's got a good arm.
He's retaining better. He's not fighting himself as much out there. He's very perfectionist oriented. When things aren't going perfect, it's a bit hard for him to slow pitch-to-pitch. He's getting better at it.
What is the thing he'll need to work on moving up?
I think physically, he's going to have to get bigger. I think he's going to need to put on some weight. He was weighs about mid 220s. He's going to have to get into the mid 230s, maybe 240 before it's over with.
I think his stuff, like I tell these guys, mostly their stuff and delivery is going to look the same now as it will five years from now. There'll be tweaks here and there.
I think he needs to keep commanding the fastball which sets up his cutter and curve ball. When he's doing that, he's going to be successful.
At 6:01 EDT on Saturday, August 15, 2015 at L.P. Frans Stadium, pitcher Dillon Tate threw his first pitch as a member of the Hickory Crawdads – a 98 mph heater low and away to fellow first-rounder Kevin Newman of West Virginia.
The bespectacled, right-hander went on to throw 15 pitches in his maiden outing as a Crawdad before turning the game over to teammate Brett Martin.
Thirteen of the 15 pitches Tate threw were fastballs, all reading between 97-99 mph on the stadium radar gun (which is currently a tick or two fast). Seven went for strikes and two of those missed bats – both by Jordan Luplow on the only strikeout.
The fourth-overall selection by the Texas Rangers in June 2012, also threw two sliders: one taken for a strike at 90; the other at 92 was swung through.
For his part, Tate was pleased with how the short stint played out.
After signing with the Rangers, Tate pitched just two one-inning stints with short-season Spokane, sitting out for six weeks in between the two after resting a tired arm.
The product of UC Santa Barbara threw 103.1 innings during his junior season with the Gauchos. With the amount of work during the college season, the plan for the remainder of the season is to limit the young hurler to one and two-inning stints.
Ragsdale said that the abbreviated starts will enable Tate to adjust to life as a pro.
Dillon Tate pitched one perfect inning with one strikeout in his debut.

Seeing Inside Sand: Visualizing Force Chains with Photoelastic Disks
As their name suggests, so-called "granular materials" are made up of "grains" -- small (but macroscopic) pieces of sand, glass beads, coffee grounds, or almost any other solid you can think of. Granular materials can flow like a liquid (like sand in an hourglass), resist deformation like a solid (like the sand under your feet at the beach), or quickly transition between these states (like pebbles in a rockslide).
Kepler's New Year's Gift — On the Six-Cornered Snowflake
Some things never change. In winter 1610, Johannes Kepler was stressing out about holiday gifts -- in particular, one for his friend and benefactor, the rather grandly-named Johannes Matthaeus Wacker von Wackenfels. Kepler, at the time employed as Imperial Mathematician at the court of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, records his musings on the problem in the opening pages of his now-famous discourse, The Six-Cornered Snowflake.
Termite Climate Control
Termites are among nature's most spectacular builders, constructing mounds that can reach heights of several meters. Relative to the size of their bodies, these structures are considerably larger than the tallest skyscrapers constructed by humans [1]. Surprisingly, in many termite species, individual termites don't spend much time in these mounds. Instead, they live in an underground network of tunnels and chambers that can be home to millions of individual insects. But, if not to live in them, why do termites build such intricate and gigantic above-ground structures [2]?
Fluids That Flow Themselves
When we think about fluid flow, we generally think of motion in response to some external force: rivers run downhill because of gravity, while soda moves through a straw because of the pressure difference created by sucking on one end. Recently, however, scientists have become interested in a class of fluids that have the capacity to move all by themselves -- the so-called "active fluids." In this paper, Kun-Ta Wu and his co-workers explore how such a material can turn its stored chemical energy into useful work: cargo transport.

Dancing with the Stars 29: Carole Baskin, Pasha Pashkov end premiere
Dancing with the Stars	 September 15, 2020
Tonight's Dancing with the Stars 29 closed with a performance from none other than Carole Baskin. Why is she a part of this show? That's something we're still trying to figure out.
Carole is, by far, the most controversial contestants of the season — and we're not really sure what her fanbase is going to be out there. We can't say that we're altogether surprised that she was cast, though, largely due to the fact that this is a franchise that loves to throw controversial people out there onto the ballroom floor. It's just an enormous part of their DNA by and large.
Want to get some more news on Dancing with the Stars in video form? Then check out our latest discussion below! After you do that, subscribe to Matt & Jess on YouTube and then also view our series playlist. We'll have more updates soon enough.
So what did Carole and her partner Pasha perform in the premiere? We knew entering the episode that her song choice was "Eye of the Tiger" — go figure, given her noteworthy status from Tiger King.
The hard thing about Carole at the moment is simple: She has zero dance experience. She's not someone who seemingly knows what she's doing out there, and Pasha has to work with her from the ground up. Let's make it clear — Carole isn't a good dancer. She was a little bit more game than we really expected it to be, but she did try to at least nail the moves and the technical nature of the dance.
As for the score, Carole got an 11 — the lowest overall score of the night. This wasn't exactly something that is going to draw a lot of votes, to say the least.

2022 Year in Review, Part 1: January-April
Dec 27, 2022 Updated Jan 5, 2023
The first four months of 2022 saw a rapid rise, followed by a just-as-rapid fall of COVID-19 cases in Santa Cruz County. Meanwhile, federal law enforcement began to move on an investigation into an alleged bribery scheme involving the former county assessor, a large property owner and a local business consultant.
Jan. 1: New year begins with surge in COVID-19 infections in local area
Santa Cruz County saw a post-holiday surge in confirmed COVID-19 cases, with the number of new infections among local residents jumping from 133 during the week ending Dec. 30, to 412 during the following seven days. The numbers continued to climb, reaching a single-day record of 288 new positive cases on Jan. 18.
Meanwhile, as the county's residents and health professionals tried to identify and respond to new infections, they were hamstrung by a shortage of COVID-19 tests, as well as delays in receiving the results from labs overwhelmed with submissions.
By the end of the month, the County Health Services Department had added 5,219 confirmed COVID-19 cases to its tallies in January – 670 more than it logged during the entire 2021 calendar year.
The dramatic increase in coronavirus infections coincided with the arrival of the highly infectious omicron variant of the disease. However, while omicron is highly contagious and can cause serious illness and death, its effects were less severe than other variants like delta, especially among those who have been vaccinated. Amid the surge of new cases, local health officials reported six new deaths and 36 hospitalizations related to COVID-19 during January. That compared to 10 deaths and 37 hospitalizations added to the county's dashboard in December.
Jan. 11: NPD responds to report of shots fired, find one person dead
The Nogales Police Department received a call shortly after 4 a.m. on Jan. 11 from someone reporting shots fired on the 900 Block of Grand Avenue.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a male in a motel room with obvious signs of trauma. "Officers checked on the male and it was determined that the male succumbed to his injuries and was deceased," NPD said in a news release.
The victim was later identified as Jose Francisco Haro, 43, of Nogales. There were no arrests made in the immediate aftermath of his death, though it was later revealed 43-year-old Gustavo Aguilar Chavez was identified as a suspect and put under surveillance.
Jan. 13: Homicide suspect shot after firing at Nogales police
Gustavo Aguilar Chavez, a suspect in the death of Jose Francisco Haro at a Nogales motel, was shot and taken into custody after opening fire on police in a downtown neighborhood.
Police Chief Roy Bermudez told the NI that slightly before 10 a.m. that day, Aguilar realized he was being tailed and fled in a vehicle that he ultimately abandoned in the area of Dumbauld Street, firing a handgun at police as he ran off.
Officers chased Aguilar to the back yard of a residence on Court Street as he allegedly continued to fire at police, until he himself was shot. No officers were injured, but Aguilar was flown to a Tucson hospital, treated and booked into the county jail 12 hours later.
Jan. 16: Police say two in critical condition after shooting in Nogales
The Nogales Police Department received a report of shots being fired around 11:30 p.m. Upon arriving at the 2800 block of N. Grand Avenue, officers discovered two men with gunshot wounds, and both were flown to Tucson for medical treatment.
One of the two people, 46-year-old Jeffrey David Boyer, later pleaded "guilty except insane" to attempted second-degree murder. On Dec. 19, he was sentenced to 10.5 years in a state mental hospital.
Jan. 22: Port of entry vaccination requirement begins for 'essential' travelers
U.S. visa holders crossing through the land ports of entry from Mexico for work, medical or educational purposes – aka "essential" travel – were never subject to the restrictions that kept other visa holders from crossing between March 21, 2020 and Nov. 8, 2021.
But starting at 12 a.m. on Jan. 22, those travelers were required to prove that they had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 – the same requirement that U.S. Customs and Border Protection imposed on people engaged in "non-essential" travel when they were allowed to begin crossing through the land ports again in November.
Jan. 19: Tubac fire station plan stalls after land sale fizzles
The Tubac Fire District Governing Board met to discuss purchasing land on the corner of the I-19 East Frontage Road and Bridge Road to host a new Station No. 1, but emerged from executive session with no action after the seller withdrew the property from consideration.
Board members did not cite a reason for the seller's withdrawal.
Jan. 27: Feds charge one, implicate two others in alleged bribery scheme
Federal law enforcement arrested Nogales-based business consultant Luis Manuel Flores on charges that he facilitated a $2,000 bribe paid to a Santa Cruz County official in exchange for "fixing" a property owner's tax bill.
Flores, 62, was released the day after his arrest on his own recognizance.
One alleged co-conspirator, identified in the complaint filed against Flores only as Person A, owned two warehouses with a large cement parcel between them. The other, identified in the complaint only as Public Official 1, was described as "an elected official and agent of Santa Cruz County with authority over property valuations for purposes of assessing taxes."
Jan. 28: Long-awaited repairs begin on cross-border sewage line
After years of neglect, sewage spills and foul stenches, repairs are finally beginning on the faltering pipeline that carries approximately 12 million gallons of wastewater each day from the U.S.-Mexico border to a treatment plant in Rio Rico.
Representatives of the federal, state and local entities that had long been at loggerheads over the pipeline's repair gathered near the northern terminus of the nine-mile-long conduit known as the International Outfall Interceptor, or IOI. They heralded the start of the first three phases of a five-phase process that, rather than replacing the IOI, would seek to shore it up with a slip line inserted inside.
Jan. 29-30: Buffalo Soldiers commemorated in Nogales
Descendants, researchers and enthusiasts gathered to commemorate the Buffalo Soldiers – segregated units of Black troops – who were stationed in Nogales from 1910 to 1933 at the former Camp Little U.S. Army base.
The effort was spearheaded by Donna Jackson-Houston, who founded the Nogales Buffalo Soldiers Legacy Association in 2021 after discovering her grandfather Lucius Jackson had served as a Buffalo Soldier.
Among other duties, the soldiers stationed in Nogales participated in a conflict that would alter life along the U.S-Mexico border: the Battle of Ambos Nogales in August 1918. But they were also community members who left a lasting legacy in the city.
"What makes the story more important," historian Anthony Powell said, "is that it has relevance today, as it did a hundred years ago."
Feb. 2: Nonprofit gives up facility meant for children's museum
The nonprofit organization behind a long-anticipated children's museum in Nogales decided to give up its possession of the former clubhouse at the city's defunct Palo Duro Country Club, said Nogales City Attorney Michael Massee during a city council meeting.
"They're basically tendering the possession of the building back to the city," Massee explained, adding: "It was, you know, a vision that hasn't come through."
The announcement came after a years-long wait for the Santa Cruz Children's Museum. A key player in the museum's conception – property owner Dino Panousopoulos – did not respond to the NI's requests for comment.
Feb. 7: Wave of COVID-19 infections diminishes rapidly
The number of new COVID-19 cases in Santa Cruz County showed a significant decline during the first week of February, according to data from the County Health Services Department.
The department added 505 new cases to its tallies during the seven days leading up to Feb. 7 – an average of 72.1 per day. That was down from 1,375 cases (196.4 per day) during the week ending Monday, Jan. 31, and 1,698 cases (242.6 per day) during the week ending Jan. 24.
The trend continued, and by the last week of the month, the health department reported a seven-day total of only 36 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 – an average of a little more than five per day. With the number of new infections decreasing so dramatically, Santa Cruz was, as of Feb. 28, one of four counties in Arizona where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said healthy people could consider going without masks in public indoor settings.
Feb. 9: AG settles overtime lawsuit against former sheriff
The Arizona Attorney General's Office quietly settled a lawsuit against former Sheriff Antonio Estrada and his second-in-command over unworked overtime paid to Sheriff's Office employees, collecting only a fraction of the allegedly misappropriated money in the process.
The lawsuit originally filed in June 2021 by the office of Attorney General Mark Brnovich had sought to recover not only the $196,842 that the Arizona Auditor General said was paid out under the scheme from 2013 to 2018, but also asked for triple damages under provisions of the Arizona Racketeering Act. That could have put Estrada and former Capt. Ruben Fuentes on the hook for nearly $600,000 in restitution and penalties, The Associated Press reported at the time.
But according to the settlement agreement filed at Maricopa County Superior Court, Brnovich agreed to drop the suit in exchange for a joint payment from Estrada and Fuentes of just $10,000.
Estrada's lawyer, Douglas Clark, said he thought the case "turned out very well for the (former) sheriff," adding that he didn't think the suit "ever should have been done."
Feb. 11: Local fifth-grader is county spelling bee champ
When tasked with spelling "montmorency" in front of a crowd at the VFW Hall in Nogales, Angelina Coil seemed unfazed.
The fifth-grade student at Sonshine Christian School spelled the word without a pause, clinching first place at the 2022 Santa Cruz County Spelling Bee.
Coil had certainly studied, and, she said, she enjoys writing. But still, she added, "I was amazed" to snag the victory.
Miguel Valenzuela, a sixth-grader at Wade Carpenter Middle School, was the runner-up after a back-and-forth with Coil for several rounds.
Feb. 14: Police procession brings sheriff's deputy back home
Law enforcement officers, loved ones and community members gathered to pay their respects as the body of Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Deputy Guillermo Vasquez, Jr. was returned to Nogales from Mexico, where he died of reportedly natural causes on Feb. 10 at the age of 30.
The procession traveled two-and-a-half miles from the Mariposa Port of Entry to Martinez Funeral Chapels, where officers from agencies including the Nogales Police Department, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection joined their counterparts from the Sheriff's Office in saluting Vasquez outside the bay where the hearse came to a stop.
Speaking outside the funeral home, Sheriff David Hathaway described Vasquez as a "fantastic, humble young man cut down in the prime of life," and an "optimistic, upbeat guy; always friendly, always smiling."
Feb. 19: Rio Rico High School wrestler wins state championship
Competing in front of a large crowd at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Jesse James Octavio-Callejo of Rio Rico High School pinned his opponent from Yuma High School in the second period of their Division III title match to earn the state wrestling championship in the 285-pound weight class.
The victory capped off three days of state-level competition for the 17-year-old junior, and earned him a hero's welcome from his friends in the RRHS community when he returned to town later that night.
"I was nervous, having to wrestle in front of all those people. But when I won, it was like the most joyful thing in the world," Octavio-Callejo said.
Feb. 24: Mayor and council interview two city manager finalists
The Nogales mayor and council narrowed their search for a new city manager to two candidates, whom they interviewed in person at City Hall on Feb. 24.
The two finalists were Edward Dickie, town manager of Dewey-Humboldt in Yavapai County, and Gerald Flannery, CEO/general manager of the Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Community Association.
Dickie and Flannery, along with Robert "Fritz" VanVolkenburgh, chief of staff to a county commissioner in Brevard County, Fla., were interviewed via video the week prior.
The City of Nogales had been seeking a chief administrator since the council and former manager Edward Johnson agreed to part ways in May 2020.
March 11: SR-189 ramps unveiled to improve cross-border traffic
Local and state officials gathered amid the roar of traffic to unveil a construction project that had been two years in the making – an overhaul of State Route 189, also known as Mariposa Road.
The $134 million endeavor reached a major milestone when two flyover ramps opened to traffic at the intersection of Interstate 19 and SR-189.
The newly opened flyover ramps provide a direct passageway between Mariposa Road and I-19. Local and state officials say that will alleviate some of the area traffic, allowing trucks to make a more streamlined route to produce warehouses.
March 11: Man who died in Nogales in 2016 identified as killer in Washington cold case
Police in Washington state announced that they had identified Douglas Keith Krohne, a man who died of accidental electrocution in Nogales in 2016, as the perpetrator in a 26-year-old homicide.
In a news release, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office said forensic genome sequencing and forensic genealogy had led them to conclude that Krohne was the killer of 61-year-old Patricia Barnes. Her body was found on Aug. 25, 1995, after she was shot twice in the head and left naked on the side of a roadway.
Krohne, who was living in Washington at the time, eventually made his way to Nogales. On Sept. 30, 2016, Krohne died after he tried to prop up a tall metal pole in the Bird Hill Mobile Home Park, possibly for use as a television antenna, and made contact with a power line, Nogales police said at the time.
March 14: NUSD makes face mask use optional two weeks after county ends mandate
The Nogales Unified School District returned from spring break with a new policy in place regarding face masks.
In a message sent to the NUSD community late the previous week, Superintendent Fernando Parra announced that masks would now be optional at school, on school buses and at school events.
On March 1, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors signed a resolution on rescinding a mask mandate in all county-owned buildings.
The changes in policy came as the number of new confirmed COVID-19 infections among local residents fell to an average of approximately one per day.
March 17: Man who murdered Rio Rico woman on I-19 gets 34 years prison
A California man was sentenced to 34 years in prison in the 2019 shooting death of a woman from Santa Cruz County on Interstate 19 in Green Valley.
Mateo D. Zavala pleaded guilty in January to the second-degree murder of 25-year-old Marilynn P. Pacheco, as well as to charges of domestic violence and aggravated assault, and was later sentenced at Pima County Superior Court.
Motorists started calling 911 around 5 p.m. on June 29, 2019, to report the driver of a Jeep Cherokee – Zavala – was shooting at a red sedan on northbound Interstate 19. Pacheco, who was in the front passenger seat, was killed, and the man driving the sedan escaped on foot with his 3-year-old daughter. According to family members, Zavala and Pacheco had been involved in a tumultuous relationship.
March 23: Parents charged in death of 3-month-old baby
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office said it had arrested both parents of a deceased 3-month-old baby.
The baby's father, 31-year-old Fredi Calderon of Rio Rico, was arrested Tuesday and booked in the county jail on charges of first-degree murder and child abuse, Sheriff David Hathaway said in a news release. Calderon's bond was set at $1 million.
The mother, 30-year-old Fantasia Chambers of Rio Rico, was booked into the jail on child abuse charges with bond set at $500,000.
The two were still in custody, with their cases awaiting resolution at Santa Cruz County Superior Court, as of December.
March 26: Sister cities, Suns team up for binational basketball camp
Nearly 250 children from both sides of the border took part in a Phoenix Suns basketball camp at the Nogales Parks and Recreation Department gymnasium.
The camp was offered as part of a newly updated sister cities agreement between the governments of Nogales, Sonora and Nogales, Ariz. that was signed on March 3 at City Hall. The sports-centered pact called for events for Ambos Nogales youth on a monthly basis, in hopes of giving them opportunities for physical activity that had been lacking during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of the basketball camp on March 26, participating children from Mexico were granted U.S. humanitarian visas that allowed them to cross the border for the event.
April 4: Two candidates meet deadline to run for mayor of Nogales
Arturo Garino, the current Nogales mayor, and Jorge Maldonado, a former councilman, were the only two mayoral candidates to file nomination petitions in time to have their names listed on the 2022 ballot. (A third write-in candidate, Peter Lella, emerged later in the campaign.)
Meanwhile, seven people met the April 4 deadline to get their names on the ballot in the race for three available seats on the Nogales City Council.
Three were incumbents seeking re-election: Hector Bojorquez, Esther Melendez-Lopez and Jose "Joe" Diaz. The other four were Jose "Joe" Agosttini, a retired U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer; John Doyle, a former city councilman and mayor; political newcomer Vicente I. Gonzalez; and Miguel Angel "Mike" Melendez, a local businessman.
The primary election was scheduled for Aug. 2 and the general election for Nov. 8.
April 6: City appoints manager after lengthy search
The Nogales City Council unanimously approved a contract for new City Manager Edward Dickie during a public meeting.
The city has been without a permanent manager since Edward Johnson's departure from the post in May 2020. Nearly two years and multiple interviews later, council members narrowed their search down to Dickie, who had been serving as the town manager of Dewey-Humboldt, Ariz.
His contract called for him to start at a salary of $145,000, which would go up to $150,000 after a year on the job. He was also promised a one-time payment of $3,500 for relocation expenses.
Starting in March 2021, the city worked with California-based consultant CPS HR to assist in the search process. But when the company presented the mayor and council with 11 permanent manager candidates in fall 2021, they honed in on one finalist who ultimately didn't take the job.
After restarting the search, a representative of CPS HR told the council in January 2022 that no recent applicants were qualified for the position. The company expressed plans to widen its search bracket, and by Feb. 2, CPS HR announced it had collected more than two dozen new applications.
Later in February, the council interviewed Dickie, along with two candidates based in Florida and Colorado, respectively. Dickie progressed to a second interview round and was ultimately appointed.
April 6: Maldonado steps down, Gradillas takes his place
After Jorge Maldonado resigned from the Nogales City Council to run for mayor, the city's six remaining councilmembers swiftly and unanimously appointed Octavio Gradillas, Jr. to fill the position in a move that appeared to have been settled prior to the public meeting.
While proposing the appointment, Mayor Arturo Garino said Gradillas "has accepted to be a council member." Moments later, he made a motion to appoint Gradillas and the council voted unanimously in favor with no discussion.
Under state law, Gradillas will serve on the council for the remainder of Maldonado's four-year term, which ends on Dec. 31, 2024.
Gradillas, a former police officer, had recently been working as a real estate agent and serving on the City of Nogales Board of Adjustments.
April 13: After lengthy debate, county supervisors approve South32 land donation
The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors approved a much-discussed and debated land donation from South32, a mining company pursuing a large-scale project in the Patagonia Mountains.
Under the deal, South32 agreed to donate a 134-acre parcel of land to Santa Cruz County. With the donation, however, the company sought an easement to build a road across the land parcel, running through the Cross Creek area northeast of Patagonia.
Before approving the measure, the board heard more than an hour of comments from residents, who strongly urged the supervisors to delay their decision and ask more questions about the nature of the donation.
The donation proposal first came to light in January as a vaguely worded agenda item that led some to believe the county was planning to donate land to South32. The pushback from that episode led to board to delay a vote.
The supervisors then held two study sessions – one on March 30, and another on April 5 – in which some residents showed support for the mine for its financial investment into the community, while many others expressed opposition.
April 19: County hires outside attorney to prosecute major cases
With several high-profile criminal cases in the works for the Santa Cruz County Attorney's Office, the county opted to outsource the prosecution of the cases, hiring Susie Charbel, a Phoenix-based lawyer who previously served as deputy attorney for Maricopa County, to do the job.
County Attorney George Silva told the NI the move was necessitated by a lapse in available personnel at his office. "We got hit with a bunch of cases in a very short period of time. And we just did not have the personnel in the office to handle them," Silva said. "So we're doing the next best thing to keep these cases moving."
The county agreed to pay Charbel a flat rate of $20,000 to prosecute the cases against Fredi Calderon and Fantasia Chambers, a Rio Rico couple charged in the death of their 3-month-old baby. For Arizona v. Lowell Robinson, a case involving a rancher who fired a gun in the direction of a sheriff's deputy, she was to be paid $8,000.
Additionally, the county agreed to pay Charbel $160 per day for food and lodging expenses.
April 22: Fuentes pleads guilty in bribery conspiracy
Former County Assessor Felipe Fuentes pleaded guilty to participating in a long-running bribery scheme in which he reportedly accepted thousands of dollars of cash and other gifts. In exchange, he allegedly used his office to give favorable treatment to a local property owner matching the profile of Dino Panousopoulos.
Panousopoulos himself was not charged in the case. But a local consultant who allegedly acted as middleman in the scheme, Luis Manuel Flores, was indicted by a federal grand jury on April 20 on seven criminal counts.
Fuentes, 62, who stepped down as assessor in 2020, avoided being indicted when he pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
According to a charging document filed against him, between approximately June 2019 and March 2020, Fuentes received "thousands of dollars in cash payments" from Person A. In return, Fuentes allegedly assisted Person A by altering, or offering to alter, the values of several land parcels belonging to Person A in the county.
According to the indictment, Flores helped orchestrate the illicit payments. In some cases, the document alleges, he physically handed Fuentes thousands of dollars in cash. Grainy photographic images and transcriptions of presumably surreptitious recordings were included as purported evidence.
The document spelling out the charge against Fuentes alleges a much longer period of criminality, "beginning from a time unknown," but starting in at least 2007.
April 23: Mingus' 100th birthday marked with celebration of music, history in Nogales
Jazz aficionados and musicians from as near and far as Nogales, Rio Rico, Kansas City and New York gathered in Nogales.
They came to honor the 100-year anniversary of the jazz giant's birth in Nogales, and to dedicate a memorial to Mingus that also pays tribute to other Black Americans who enriched the local community.
Mingus Memorial Park stands near the former entrance to Camp Little, where the all-Black "Buffalo Soldiers" of the 10th Cavalry Regiment – including Mingus' father, an Army sergeant – were stationed from 1910 to 1933. The Mingus Centennial Jazz Celebration kicked off with a ribbon-cutting at the park, a decade-long project at the corner of Western Avenue and Bejarano Street.
Mingus' son Eric Mingus was on hand for the dedication, making his first visit to his father's birthplace.
The ceremony was followed by an afternoon-long concert featuring the Nogales and Rio Rico high school jazz bands, as well as the NHS Alumni Jazz Band, the Kansas City Latin Jazz Orchestra, Alan Lewine's AZ Xtet and Mingus Dynasty Quintet.

What is PL?
Why PL?
Using PL?
How To/Tools
What is Plain Language?> Definitions of Plain Language> Elements of Plain Language
The Elements of Plain Language
Joe Kimble, a law professor and a major force in plain language in the United States, published this October 2002 article, The Elements of Plain Language, in the Michigan Bar Journal.
I originally published these guidelines in 1992, in the Thomas M. Cooley Law Review.(1) Although I think they hold up pretty well after ten years, I have tinkered with them recently. So here is the 2002 edition:
A. In General
1. As the starting point and at every point, design and write the document in a way that best serves the reader. Your main goal is to convey your ideas with the greatest possible clarity.
2. Resist the urge to sound formal. Relax and be natural (but not too informal). Try for the same unaffected tone you would use if you were speaking to the reader in person.
3. Omit unnecessary detail. Boil down the information to what your reader needs to know.
4. Use examples as needed to help explain the text.
5. Whenever possible, test consumer documents on a small group of typical users—and improve the documents as need be.
B. Design
1. Make a table of contents for long documents.
2. Use at least 10- to 12-point type for text, and a readable serif typeface.
3. Try to use between 50 and 70 characters a line.
4. Use ample white space in margins, between sections, and around headings and other special items.
5. Use highlighting techniques such as boldface, italics, and bullet dots. But don't overdo them, and be consistent throughout the document.
6. Avoid using all-capital letters. And avoid overusing initial capitals for common nouns (this agreement, trust, common stock).
7. Use diagrams, tables, and charts as needed to help explain the text.
C. Organization
1. Use short sections, or subdivide longer ones.
2. Put related material together.
3. Order the parts in a logical sequence. Normally, put the more important before the less important, the general before the specific, and the ordinary before the extraordinary.
4. Use informative headings for the main divisions and subdivisions. In consumer documents, try putting the main headings in the form of a question.
5. Minimize cross-references.
6. Minimize definitions. If you have more than a few, put them in a separate schedule or glossary at the end of the document.
(The next four items apply to analytical documents, such as briefs and memos, and to most informational documents.)
7. Try to begin the document and the main divisions with one or two paragraphs that introduce and summarize what follows, including your answer.(2)
8. Use a topic sentence to summarize the main idea of each paragraph or of a series of paragraphs on the same topic.
9. Make sure that each paragraph develops the main idea through a logical sequence of sentences.
10. Use transitions to link your ideas and to introduce new ideas.
D. Sentences
1. Prefer short and medium-length sentences. As a guideline, keep the average length to about 20 words.
2. In most sentences, put the subject near the beginning; keep it short and concrete; make it something the reader already knows about; and make it the agent of the action in the verb.
3. Put the central action in strong verbs, not in abstract nouns. ("If the seller delivers the goods late, the buyer may cancel the contract." Not: "Late delivery of the goods may result in cancellation of the contract.")
4. Keep the subject near the verb, and the verb near the object (or complement). Avoid intrusive phrases and clauses.
5. Try to put the main subject and verb toward the beginning; don't pile up conditions or qualifiers before the main clause.
6. Put the strongest point, your most important information, at the end—where the emphasis falls.
7. Prefer the active voice. Use the passive voice if the agent is unknown or unimportant. Or use it if, for continuity, you want to focus attention on the object of the action instead of the agent. ("No more legalese. It has been ridiculed long enough.")
8. Connect modifying words to what they modify. Be especially careful with a series: make clear whether the modifier applies to one or more than one item. (Examples of ambiguity: "educational institutions or corporations"; "a felony or misdemeanor involving dishonesty.")
9. Use parallel structure for parallel ideas. Consider using a list if the items are at all complicated, as when you have multiple conditions, consequences, or rules. And put the list at the end of the sentence.

Nexstar Revenue Up 50% in Quarter
By Michael Malone 06 August 2015
Nexstar Broadcasting Group reported second quarter net revenue of $221.3 million, a 50.6% gain over the previous year's second quarter. The quarter's local revenue was up 33.4% and national grew 48.8%, for a 37.5% increase in core revenue.
"Nexstar's consistent operating momentum and financial growth was evident again in the second quarter as we delivered another period of record financial results with profitability metrics all exceeding consensus expectations," said Perry Sook, president and CEO. "Contributions from recently completed acquisitions combined with organic core advertising, distribution and digital media revenue growth and our focus on managing operations for current cash flow and future growth, resulted in all of our non-political revenue sources posting substantial second quarter increases."
Digital revenue grew 60%, to $21.2 million, in the quarter, while retransmission revenue climbed 99% to $69.7 million.
Sook credited the group's acquisitions for the growth. "Second quarter BCF, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow increases of 45.4%, 51.0% and 64.8%, respectively, reflect the value of our initiatives to actively expand our scale through strategic, accretive acquisitions while managing costs," he said. "The value-building accretive transactions completed in late 2014 and early 2015 added 27 stations as well as a digital media advertising and programmatic technology provider to our growth platform."
Sook said there is plenty of room for the company to continue growing.
"Our station platform now reaches approximately 18% of all U.S. television households," he said. "As such there remains considerable opportunity for Nexstar to further expand our platform through additional accretive station and digital media acquisitions and we remain active and engaged on this front."


Centuries old gardens, witnesses of sometimes millennia old cultures threaten to vanish all over the world. Since the still remaining gardens gradually meet with appreciation, further research has to be executed to preserve and restore them in a responsible way. Recognition of the garden's authentic parts hereby is essential. Mixing of cultures, decay and injudicious restoration changed many of these gardens into a distorted shadow of the past.
Approaching the art of gardens from different scientific angles the symposium had to reveal artistic and botanical exchanges by different cultures. One of the central themes was the restoration of the Hortus of Clusius at Leiden which has been created in 1593 by the cosmopolite Carolus Clusius, a typical representative of late Renaissance humanistic Europe. Through Clusius scientific contacts many new species like the tulip, the hyacinth and the narcissus were imported from Turkey by way of complex trade routes.
A definitive botanical nomenclature only was laid down in 1753 in Linnaeus' Systema Natura. Clusius' descriptions of the structure of plants however are almost poetic, considering the plant a reflection of God's creation and universal harmony. Many of his discoveries were beautifully rendered by the painter Jacques de Gheyn ll, which water-colours formed a wonderful source at the Hortus' restoration. Only one third of the plants present at that time was of medical nature so Clusius' garden probably was Europe's first Hortus Botanicus. Species from distant countries unfit to resist the northern climate were sheltered in the Ambulacrum on the southern side of the Hortus, which harboured a varied collection of naturalia, ethnographica and historical objects as well. This 'Theatrum Sapientiae' served both science and education showing riches from a continually extending world.
During the symposium also the reconstruction of other Renaissance garden complexes was treated like the terraced gardens to the north and south of the Viennese Neugebaüde by Maximiliaan II (ca. 1568). Unlike Western gardens the Islamic gardens are turned inwards and rich in refreshing water thus forming an oasis in the midst of the noisy outside world. Walled in by an arcade they consist of a square court with a tile-floor and a basin or pavilion in the centre.
Originally these gardens were meant to reflect paradise, which the Koran describes as a garden. Thorough bio-historical research to trace the origins of the plantation of Spanish-Arabic gardens is very urgent. During the Middle Ages many Arabic and classic writings on botany and medico-pharmacology were spread all over the world by way of Christian Spain. Arabic literature on botany went to Andalusian libraries and was taken to the north by migrating Jewish scientists.
The immense spreading of the Islamic art of gardens was connected with centuries old cultures, which partly assimilated the culture of their predecessors such as the Abbasidian dynasty (7th till 12th century). Persian influences turned the famous monastic gardens of the Abbasidian empire into extensive palace gardens with several inner courts, ingenious irrigation systems and a harbour on the bank of most of these gardens.
The third day of the symposium was dedicated to the memory of the German physician and botanist Philipp von Siebold (1796-1866), who entered the service of the Dutch East-lndian army. After his settlement at Leiden (1829) his collection of Japanese plants, animals and ethnographica was sheltered in the State Herbarium. All his life Von Siebold endeavoured to improve Japanese-Dutch contact.
The Japanese garden partly forms an assimilation of Chinese ideas on the art of gardens, which tradition is grounded on a tradition of 4000 years. Most important characteristic of the Chinese art is the consciousness of the human unity with nature, borrowed from the principle of 'Tao', the unity of all things. Water and rocks being the most important ingredients man added bridges and pavilions to these gardens, which present themselves to the walker like organic structures.
Most gardens of the late Ming-dynasty (1368-1644) belonged to the aristocracy and to imperial circles. Apart from being a medium to show richness and status these Ming gardens were mainly social spaces where the honoured literati held elegant assembles. At the end of the Ming period a new social class of merchants arose which needed manuals on social and cultural education. Ji Cheng's Yuan Ye (1630) is the first manual on the art of gardens.
Assimilating many Chinese influences the Japanese art of gardens especially developed in the Heian period (9th till 12th century). One of these elements is the 'winding water-path' just as the island in the traditional Japanese garden, the 'Shima' symbolically housing lost unspoiled nature. Although derived from the Chinese tradition the 2000 years old Korean art of gardens differs from the Chinese leaving the extant order of nature as untouched as possible.
The asymmetrical design of these gardens is open and directed towards the surrounding landscape. Characteristic is the partition into a front-, inner- and back-garden with terrace cultivation against a mountain slope thus forming a background to the rest while rocks are used for colourful pavilions and the connection of the different elements.
Thus the symposium on the world's gardens before 1600 pointed out that the collections of Horti Botanici urgently need to be studied at the reconstruction and restoration of historical gardens. For real comprehension one has to examine all of the cultural and scientific as well as economical and social circumstances always considering these gardens came into being in the track of very old cultures which continually affected one another. To recognize authenticity one has to travel far back in history.

"Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis"(1) is term that has been coined to define a unique or unusual clinical and histopathological presentation of type B viral hepatitis in liver allograft recipients(2). However, it is also seen with other viruses, such as HCV(3, 4) and in other severely immunosuppressed patients, such as renal and bone marrow allograft recipients and those with AIDS(3, 5-10). Other names have also been used to describe this entity. These include "fibrosing cytolytic hepatitis"(11), which draws attention to the degenerative changes in the hepatocytes, including cell swelling and cytolysis. "Steatoviral" and "fibroviral" hepatitis have been used to draw attention to the heavy viral burden that causes swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and hepatocellular degenerative changes, including steatosis and to the fibrosis that develops despite a paucity of inflammation(12).
When FCH was first described, it was postulated that the B virus was capable of directly injuring the hepatocytes, because of under these special circumstances viral proliferation was unchecked, resulting in massive overproduction of viral particles and antigens(2). Subsequent studies did indeed show high levels of viral replication and antigen expression, re-enforcing the notion that the B virus can be cytopathic under certain circumstances(1, 2, 11-16). Further studies of HBV+ liver allograft recipients have shown that this more aggressive clinical and histopathological presentation may be related to infection with pre-core mutants of the B virus(5-7, 17-20).
Since FCH is unusual in the general population, the common factor of immunodeficiency in the diverse patient populations mentioned above, is likely to be the most important predisposing factor. This leads to unchecked viral replication. The effect, if any, of MHC non-identity between the liver and the immune system is unknown. However, the occurrence of FCH outside of liver transplantation, where there is MHC identity between the immune system and the liver, suggests that non-identity is not a crucial factor(1, 2, 11-14, 21).
In contrast to elevations of the liver injury tests as is seen in the initial presentation of most cases of hepatitis B and C after transplantation, FCH is usually accompanied by dramatic clinical symptoms. These include nausea, malaise, jaundice, abdominal pain, and progression to hepatic failure and encephalopathy over a periods of weeks to a few months. Biochemical evidence of liver dysfunction and injury are usually skewed toward a cholestatic profile, as might be expected from the name, with marked elevation of serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase. Unfortunately, many patients rapidly progress to liver failure. Thus a histopathological diagnosis of "FCH" carries ominous clinical connotations, although prolonged survival in a patient treated with ganciclovir has been reported(22). Treatment of such patients with anti-viral agents, might initially decrease viral replication, but because of the concomitant lack of viral cytotoxicity, viral mutants can arise.
FCH is characterized by marked hepatocellular swelling, lobular disarray and cholestasis, with only mild or no portal or lobular inflammation. This is usually accompanied by cholangiolar proliferation at the interface zone, which is often combined with acute cholangiolitis and fibrosis surrounding the cholangioles. A well developed cirrhosis however, usually does not develop. Spotty acidophilic necrosis of hepatocytes and lobular inflammation, which are usual features of acute hepatitis, are inconspicuous in FCH. Overall, the histopathological features are similar, but not identical to, those described for "cholestatic" hepatitis in the general population. In HBV+ recipients, FCH is also characterized by massive expression of hepatitis B core antigen, which is seen in the same hepatocytes that show the degenerative changes such as cell swelling and steatosis and focal necrosis. A massive overproduction of the surface antigen can be seen in some cases, but these usually do not show the classical FCH histopathological or clinical profile. In these cases, there is marked cytologic distortion of the hepatocytes, lobular disarray and mild necro-inflammatory lobular activity, similar to HBsAg transgenic mice(23).
Non-viral causes of liver allograft dysfunction that can produce histopathological changes similar to those seen in FCH include ischemic injury, most often related to delayed hepatic artery thrombosis; adverse cholestatic drug reactions, and biliary tract obstruction. All of these insults can cause centrilobular hepatocellular swelling, Kupffer's cell hypertrophy, cholestasis and cholangiolar proliferation. The clinical history is extremely helpful in such cases: being aware that the patient is positive for HBV or HCV virus infection makes the pathologist cognizant of the fact that FCH should be in the differential diagnosis. The considerations are similar to those when establishing a histopathological diagnosis of amyloidosis: if you don't think of it, the diagnosis can be easily missed.
Histopathological changes that are helpful in making the correct diagnosis are usually quite subtle. Obstructive cholangiopathy is recognized by periductal edema surrounding the small and large bile ducts and portal neutrophilia and/or eosinophilia with true acute cholangitis. In contrast, there is no periductal edema, nor true acute cholangitis in FCH. Instead, there is acute cholangiolitis, or neutrophils surrounding ductular structures located in the interface zone. Interestingly, macrophages also frequently surround the hepatocytes and cholangioles, as well. Distinguishing between ischemic injury and FCH can be very difficult, especially if one does not think about the diagnosis of FCH. One subtle change that is helpful in some cases is the presence of hepatocyte macronucleoli in FCH, and their absence in ischemic injury. Any areas of coagulative necrosis or evidence of biliary obstruction or stricturing in the portal tracts is also helpful in distinguishing between the two, since ischemic injury frequently results in necrosis of the large, peri-hilar bile duct that leads to biliary sludge formation and "ischemic cholangitis(24, 25)". Finally, the clinical history is most helpful when trying to determine whether an adverse drug reaction is responsible for the constellation of findings described above. Since the time of onset of FCH is usually more than several months after transplantation, in cases of suspected adverse drug reactions, the clinical history should include mention of newly introduced pharmacological agent that is potentially hepatotoxic.

Giving by grantmaking foundations in the U.S. jumped to $42.9 billion last year, growth of 10 percent in the face of a slowing economy, a new report says.
Although the economic outlook is murky, more than half the 72,000 foundations in the U.S. expect to give more in 2008 than in 2007, and almost two-thirds of foundations awarding $10 million or more in grants a year expect to give more next year.
The combined assets of all foundations rose again in 2007, reaching an estimated $669.5 billion, up almost 9 percent over 2006, a development the report says bodes well for increased giving in 2008.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave away almost $1.6 billion in 2006, more than any other U.S. foundation.
All types of foundation saw increases in giving, but community foundations led the way with a jump of 13.9 percent in 2007 compared to 2006, marking the fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth.
Combined, community foundations awarded $4.1 billion last year, and their assets totaled $49.9 billion, up 12 percent from 2006.
Giving by independent and family foundations grew 12.7 percent to $30.9 billion in 2007, with assets totaling $509.1 billion, up 12 percent over 2006.
Giving as a percentage of assets, required by law to be at least 5 percent for independent foundations, reached an average of 6.1 percent, up slightly from 6.0 percent in 2006.
Corporate foundations reported slower growth, up 6.6 percent to reach $4.4 billion in 2007, the report says.
