UK Study Identifies Best Practices & Key Lessons for Drying Pallets Manufactured from Non-kiln Dried Timber
Fight Mold: European pallet association conducts extensive drying study to prevent mold and stain growth on wooden pallets. Research finds best practices and key lessons.
By Staff
Date Posted: 7/1/2014
TIMCON Pallet Drying Study
UK pallet association releases industry study of kiln drying pallets to come up with effective strategies for fighting mold and stain. Offers solutions for common industry problem.
Due to the increase in demand from customers for eliminating mold and stain on pallets using kiln drying, and for sound science to back up claims made by European pallet producers, industry leaders recently responded by releasing the results of the largest study of its kind.
The Timber Packaging and Pallet Confederation (TIMCON), the national pallet association in the United Kingdom, has been very active in commissioning an in-depth pallet drying project in response to reports from members concerning issues with stain and mold. TIMCON has also issued a "TIMCON Best Practice Guide to Timber Stain & Mold" for users of wooden pallets and has recently drawn up a protocol for pallet manufacturers for kiln drying of assembled pallets.
This new guide is very important and ground breaking work as mold can be a concern to pallet users, and there is limited scientific research available about this complicated subject. The research was led by Ivor Davies (Ph.D.) of Edinburgh Napier University Forest Products Research Institute (FPRI) and has resulted in drying specifications and quality control measures to allow for standard moisture content levels based on best practices.
The research in the UK is limited to Sitka spruce timber species, and it looked at 1,360 pallets from 18 kiln batches. Although there are some variance from species to species, the idea was to conduct research on a common species to develop baseline understanding that could be applied throughout Europe.
Arthur Jenkinson, who worked with TIMCON to coordinate the research, said, "The study found that the actual moisture content of the pallets varied greatly even though the kiln settings were standardized."
He added, "There was a high range of moisture content, and a probability of mold forming on the wetter parts of the pallets in certain environments." This tendency to have the moisture content vary greatly even on a single pallet is one of the reasons why TIMCON discourages offering guarantees. It has developed a three tiered approach that can help companies offer ranges of service depending on the amount of time the pallets are dried in the kilns.
John Dye works for Scott Pallets, one of the largest pallet companies in Europe, and as president of TIMCON has been involved in the study. Dye said, "To us mold is a challenge, but it is a challenge that we as an industry have always maintained we can meet, and now we have the scientific data to back this up."
When it comes to making claims that are hard to back up, it is believed that on occasion pallet companies in the UK, as well as the United States, have been responding to customer pressure by guaranteeing mold free pallets and a set maximum moisture content for every pallet.
Dye warned that manufacturers making these claims were potentially causing harm to the industry because it has always been believed that it has been nearly impossible to guarantee that all the components of a manufactured pallet will have the same moisture content level. And now this report scientifically backs this up, yet more importantly, it shows that pallets dried using best practice guidelines can keep the potential variances to a minimum.
Dye explained, "When you kiln dry pallets, you can get wet zones. Pallets sit on top of each other and can potentially foster mold in those areas. It is important to keep pallets off the dry kiln floor."
Study Results and Conclusions
The UK study has come up with various quality levels that are based on average moisture content not the condition of any one pallet or any one spot on a pallet. The various service levels differ in the moisture content range, amount of time spent air drying, and the performance level. See chart 1 for more information. .
Pallets in the new study were allowed to air dry under well-ventilated, covered storage for 14 days prior to being placed in a kiln. Jenkinson said, "Because we air dried pallets first, the moisture content of the undried timber was conditioned reducing variability with the added benefit of reducing kiln operating time by an average of 35%
Then pallets were dried in the kiln to various schedules between 19-25 hours to reach targeted moisture contents ranging from 15-22% moisture content. Pallets were then removed and allowed to cool down for two days before being tested with a moisture meter. Throughout the process, pallets were stored under cover to prevent rewetting.
Jenkinson commented, "Proper storage is critical to make sure that moisture content is kept to the desired levels. That is why simply using kiln drying lumber may not be an effective solution because if it is allowed to be stored or transported outdoors, the drying process can be rendered ineffective due to rewetting."
The survey led to the development of best practices for the entire process including how to take moisture measurements. Jenkinson stated that they discovered they made the best readings if measurements were taken in at least five points in wet and dry zones.
Readings could vary widely even in the same kiln run or on the same pallet depending on the environmental conditions, temperature, humidity, moisture content, placement of pallets, type of kiln, wood species, etc.
When looking at current practices, the study found that existing procedures was usually not sufficient to make 100% guarantees. Jenkinson explained, "Current practices in Europe actually fell around the common standard or somewhere between common standard and standard plus depending on the levels of controls used by each manufacturer." However it should be noted that some pallet manufacturers have been working closely with their customers and in many cases were following many of the guidelines in the best practice document already.
Dye said, "We published the users best practice guidelines to help and make users of pallets aware of the importance and their responsibility for proper handling and storage of the pallets after delivery. For example, there is no point in premium dried pallets if they are going to be off loaded and stored outside."
Best practices include storing pallets inside in a space that encourages air flow in some cases using fans or the appropriate level of spacing between pallet stacks, and rotating stock so the first pallet in is the first pallet out.
Looking at best practices, Dye commented, "The study has shown that the best way to do this is to air dry the pallets before putting them in the kiln."
Mold Treatment & Prevention Strategies
Pallet companies can take steps to reduce moisture content variance. There are a number of options. The first starts with drying pallet longer to reduce moisture content.
Niels Jorgensen, president of Kiln-direct.com, said, "Most of the kilns that we see dry pallets run about 200 degrees Fahrenheit and go between 12-36 hours depending on how dry they want it. After about 16 hours, the pallets lose about 12 lbs. of water for an average GMA pallet. This is the standard that we are seeing among customers. Most need 12-18 hours to get the moisture content low enough to prevent most mold."
Another strategy is to use large fans and appropriate spacing to allow pallets to air dry in storage. This is a best practice that should be followed by both pallet suppliers and users alike. Storing pallets inside where they will not get rained on is a smart move to keep the moisture content low. One innovative company has developed an approach that retrofits trailers to encourage air flow as a load of pallets is moving down the road. You can find out more information at www.aftstrailers.com.
There are chemical products that can be used to prevent mold growth. ISK Biocides has become one of the most popular companies because its PQ-80 product is approved for food contact. For more information on ISK call 800-238-2523.
A different chemical approach is X-Mold, which basically encapsulates the wood preventing oxygen from getting to the mold spores. X-Mold still exists although it is not as visible in the industry as it once was.
And a new company to target the pallet industry is Osmose Inc. Michael Pompeo, director of technical development at Osmose. He said, "Performance of these products is affected by the temperature and humidity of where the wooden pallet is stored."
Osmose is now offering Cellbrite to the U.S. market after it has been used successfully in Europe for wooden packaging that comes in contact with food and other sensitive products. It protects against mold growth and blue stain.
When it comes to applying chemicals, you can either use dip tanks or spray applications. More automated processes help improve performance and reduce the waste of chemicals. Some pallet companies even use hand application methods for small lots with a hand sprayer. But this tends to waste chemicals and cost more in the long run.
Study Availability
TIMCON members who want to receive certain designations will be required to submit their drying data to ensure that they are meeting the technical specification so that they can claim that they are meeting the TIMCON standard. The Essential Guide Pack including Dry Specification Guide will soon be provided free of charge to TIMCON members. In addition, a guide for pallet users has also been developed and is currently available.
TIMCON is making its complete pallet drying Essential Guide Pack available to members only. U.S. pallet companies can join TIMCON to obtain access to this material. A general overview of best practices has been prepared for pallet users. You can download a copy of the information from www.palletenterprise.com. Look for "TIMCON Best Practices Guide for Timber Stain and Mold."

Talking Point
Liberalism, not interventionism, will work in Iran
By Andrei Codrescu
They are not just reading "Lolita" in Teheran. They are also reading Hannah Arendt, Karl Popper, Jurgen Habermas and Richard Rorty. A Velvet Revolution inspired by Western liberal philosophers is underway in Iran. The theocratic regime of the mullahs is violently suppressing student demonstrations for freedom of speech and women's rights. Dissidents are being jailed, beaten, tortured and disappeared. We hear very little news of these horrors, and there has been only a muted response from American and European liberals. Young Iranians are dying for liberal values we take for granted in the U.S: democracy, freedom of speech and assembly, women's rights, plurality of views, the right to peaceful dissent.
A fiery new book by Danny Postel, "Reading Legitimation Crisis in Tehran," takes issue with American liberals for their listlessness. There is as much at stake now as there was in Bosnia and Kosovo in the '90s. Iran is as ripe for dramatic change as Czechoslovakia in 1989. Part of the problem, Postel argues, is that the George Bush neo-cons have stolen the agenda of American liberalism with their rhetoric of freedom and democracy, a discourse that sounds idealistic but is clearly not, as evidenced in Iraq.
Iranian intellectuals see this clearer than we do. They want the support of intellectuals and N.G.O.'s, but not any sort of interference from the U.S. government, certainly not armed intervention. It's a fine line, one that Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has emphasized, by calling on "human rights defenders, university professors, international N.G.O.'s" to support the human rights struggle in Iran. "All defenders of human rights," she has said, "are members of a single family," And Akbar Ganjo, another eminent dissident, has put it in no uncertain terms: "We don't want intervention; we only want the moral support of the global community for our fight."
The Iranian drama is a great opportunity for American liberals to reassert their proud tradition of defending human rights at a time when radicals on the left and the right can't see past their hatred of each other. The left ignores the democracy movement in Iran just as it ignored the democracy movements in Eastern Europe that led to the collapse of those tyrannies. The right is using rhetoric to make its case for war. The liberal philosopher Ramin Jahanbegloo, an Iranian dissident who has been imprisoned and now lives in exile, told Postel that "…freedom is possible even in a world of secret police and of the rule of autocrats. Freedom is a universal human possibility. In a country like Iran, where you have a vibrant civil society, the most unlikely things happen on the margins of politics."
Sounds familiar to me: that is the sound of philosophy, art and liberty that toppled the Berlin Wall. There was no military invasion there, just a unanimous call for human rights.
Liberals, dust off your John Stuart Mill and Tom Paine, and quit cowering before hacks of the con, neo or not. Say it loud, I'm liberal and I'm proud, and there will be freedom but no war in Iran.

A Bill of Rights—for Homeowners
Homeowners in California were hard-hit by the real estate crash and the recession—more than 1 million homes in the state were lost to foreclosure from 2008 to 2011. But new legislation will give increased protection to California homeowners threatened by foreclosure and may set a precedent for other states to follow.
Governor Jerry Brown signed the California Homeowners Bill of Rights, Assembly Bill 278 and Senate Bill 900, into law on July 11. State Attorney General Kamala D. Harris, a Democrat, introduced the bill. Its proponents included the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, Courage Campaign, Consumers Union, Center for Responsible Lending, and the National Council of La Raza.
A Patchwork Guide to the (Disappearing) Neighborhood
How have foreclosures transformed the layouts of Detroit, Las Vegas, and other cities? Artist Kathryn Clark's mapped it—in quilts.
The California Homeowners Bill of Rights provides homeowners with access to courts by strengthening provisions in the national mortgage settlement that 49 state attorneys general reached with the five biggest banks that service borrowers' mortgages.
The main elements of the new law address methods used by mortgage lenders and servicers that have contributed to the high number of foreclosures. The most egregious of these are: "dual tracking," in which the lender appears to be working with borrowers to avoid foreclosure while actually pushing the foreclosure process along; "hot potato" treatment of borrowers by making them speak to multiple servicer representatives who give conflicting information; and "robo-signing," the repeated filing of foreclosure documents without verifying their accuracy.
The new law, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2013, is unmatched nationwide. Other states will likely consider duplicating California's law.
Our homes tell the story of where we come from and who we are. What happens when we lose them?
A long-excluded workforce finally gets the protections it deserves.

Blocked Tear Ducts: DacryocystorhinostomySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Dacryocystorhinostomy is a type of surgery sometimes used to treat blocked tear ducts in adults. It is rarely used in children.
This procedure creates a new passageway between the tear duct sac and the nasal cavity, bypassing the blocked tear duct. To do the procedure, the doctor needs to make a cut (incision) in the skin by the eye. A tube is inserted through the tear duct sac and into the nose through a hole in the bone. This tube is left in the nose and stitched in place.
Adults who have long-term tear duct blockage that is not caused by an infection often need to have dacryocystorhinostomy. If the person has a tear duct infection, surgery will be delayed until the infection has cleared.
Either local or general anesthesia can be used during this procedure.
Antibiotics applied to the eye or taken by mouth are used to prevent infection after surgery.
After about 3 days, you return to the doctor's office to check the placement of the tube and to have the stitches removed. The tube is left in place for at least 6 weeks.
The risks of dacryocystorhinostomy include:
- Bleeding from the nose.
- Infection or blockage of the tear ducts.
- Tube displacement (the tube shifting out of place).
You will have a small scar where the surgery was done.

Big EMR Vendors Agree To Interoperability Scheme
Anne Zieger is veteran healthcare consultant and analyst with 20 years of industry experience. Zieger formerly served as editor-in-chief of FierceHealthcare.com and her commentaries have appeared in dozens of international business publications, including Forbes, Business Week and Information Week. She has also contributed content to hundreds of healthcare and health IT organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies. Contact her at @ziegerhealth on Twitter or visit her site at Zieger Healthcare.
John's Comment: See my coverage of the CommonWell announcement on EMR and HIPAA.
Could it be that real interoperability between vendors is on the way? Five big EMR vendors — including three hospital-oriented giants and two doctor-focused players — have come together during HIMSS to announce plans to create common standards for health data sharing, reports Forbes.
Cerner, McKesson, Allscripts, athenahealth and Greenway Medical Technologies have joined to create a new non-profit called the CommonWell Health Alliance. (As most wags have noted, Epic is conspicuously absent from the mix.)
The partners haven't disclosed a lot of detail as to how they plan to achieve interoperability amongst themselves, but the scheme seems to rely on creating a unique national ID. "Without a national ID and the ability to create true data that can be safely and securely sent between individuals, we are going to introduce new systemic risk back into the system," Neal Patterson, founder, chairman and chief executive of Cerner told Forbes.
Patterson, public citizen that he is, said that the CommonWell Alliance isn't a commercial effort but "an obligation." That certainly sounds lovely, but with five hyper-competitive public companies forming up this effort, I'm skeptical to say the least. Besides, if it's an obligation, why isn't Epic so obligated?
John Halamka, Chief Information Officer of Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center in Boston, has probably sniffed out more of partners' true motivation. "They're thinking of it as an enabler for new technologies," Halamka suggests to Forbes, a move which can "raise the tide for all boats."
Whether it raises any boats or not, creating interoperability links between these vendors certainly can't hurt. After all, the more data sharing the better, particularly by major players with significant market share.
That being said, there's still the matter of Epic being out of the picture, not to mention other major EMR players. How much of a practical difference the CommonWell Health Alliance can make is very much in question.

No, she certainly should not. She is happy manipulating that child. And so pleased with the results. She knows better but continues to fill her head with fantasies of a life that never existed. Faith is too young to know any better, Sharon knows better.
It is horrifying watching her simultaneously destroy Summer and Faith for her own means. 8)
The one positive is that Faith is very young. With the right kind of therapy there is hope for her. Maybe the emotional abuse has not permanently scarred her. Summer, on the other hand, is much older so it will be more difficult for her to adjust to what Sharon has done to her.
Half the people in Genoa City have found out at some point in their adult life who their fathers are. Summer grew up with plenty of love & both her parents thinking she was Super Girl. I doubt if she is going to be too scarred. Both her potential daddies are rich men who love her. Scarred is when you find your real daddy is on death row awaiting execution for serial murders. lol.

General Comments: Futures were lower on some long liquidation after bulls could not take out resistance at 125.00 NY September. London moved much higher on some industry buying tied to less offers from Vietnam on ideas that producers there are about sold out and some reports of insect infestations that could hurt production down the road. Offers from origin are still hard to find, especially with Brazil closed for a holiday. Demand was not much stronger than the offer and the cash market remains very quiet. Sellers, including Brazil, are quiet and are waiting for better prices of the next crop. Buyers are interested on cheap differentials, and cheap futures. Brazil weather is forecast to show dry conditions, but no cold weather. Current crop development is still good this year. Central America crops are seeing good rains now. Colombia is reported to have good conditions. Robusta prices are holding stronger as the Vietnamese export pace has really dropped.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.745 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 118.15 ct/lb. Brazil should get dry weather except for some showers in the northeast. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get showers, and rains. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 0 delivery notices were posted against July today and that total deliveries for the month are now 810 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 120.00, 117.00, and 116.00 September, and resistance is at 125.00, 126.00, and 127.00 September. Trends in London are up with objectives of 1900 September. Support is at 1820, 1790, and 1755 September, and resistance is at 1905, 1940, and 1950 September. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 140.00, 137.00, and 134.00 September, and resistance is at 150.00, 151.00, and 155.00 September.
General Comments: Futures were mixed to higher on follow through buying from last week and also on ideas that crop conditions are getting worse in Texas. Traders were also getting prepared for the next round of USDA supply and demand estimates on Thursday that could show decreased stocks for this year and next year. However, USDA is unlikely to make any significant changes at this time. Parts of the Southeast are getting too much rain and Texas growing areas remain mostly hot and dry. Conditions in Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri are below average now. Futures held the short term range. It is possible that futures can work lower again as demand has turned soft, but production and weather might be more important in the short term. Weather for Cotton appears good in India, Pakistan, and China.
Overnight News: The Delta should be dry and Southeast will see showers and rains Thursday through the weekend. Temperatures will average near normal. Texas will be mostly dry. Temperatures will average above normal. The USDA spot price is now 82.23 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.612 million bales, from 0.610 million yesterday. ICE said that 281 notices were posted today and that total deliveries are now 2,873 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed . Support is at 86.00, 85.20, and 84.00 October, with resistance of 87.00, 87.45, and 88.00 October.

In all honesty I've still got plenty to learn, but the best thing my tutor ever taught me is when using watercolours to use a restrained pallette and go from there.
I get the complementary colour stuff... it's the shades, placement, light and shadow (and having a decent drawing would help) that needs to be addressed. I will endeavour and post.ReplyDelete

Their main business may be games and related accessories but GameStop also sells refurbished iPods, iPads and iPhones.
Pretty soon, they might just start selling MacBooks, too.
An anonymous GameStop employee sent in a picture of the retail chain's inventory screen that seems to suggest that you might be able to buy Apple's popular laptops through the video game mega-chain.
If the prices on the screen are any indication—and they may just be placeholders—these likely would be refurbished Macbooks, like the iOS devices GameStop sells.
> Of course, this could be just a trial program in a test market, too. Kotaku's reached out to GameStop for comment and will update this story as needed?

Forgive me if this has already been hashed over, but it seems like there's a more elegant way of dealing with the elongation of koblenz. Just seems like an impassable between mainz and trier would be a better, more visually appealing solution. As it stands, the terit looks kinda weird, and koblenz isn't exactly the sort of burgeoning metropolis that on its own would warrant such an acreage.

This map looks fantastic. You've created a completely unique feeling map, that's easy on the eyes and feels German. My only comment is the faint image in the background of the map. I can barely see what it is (in fact I really cant). Is there a reason for it (I haven't went back to read all the pages). Also - I personally think your minimap would look better without the territory borders on it. Just keep the main bonus region borders.

Change Emden to Bremerhaven. That way you got an explanation why Bremen is landlocked (which is actually a port city from back in the Hanse days, seatrade was very important for the development of the city) and the territory of Emden streches so far east and north when its actually on the most western side of germany...
apart from that, the rivers and mountains are all not really realistic so I doubt we have a dire need to change a few of them when we dont change all. Im all for adding the mountain range between Trier and Mainz. That would actually be one of the most realistic impassables on the map
Also im all for the coat of arms, although you could make them a tad more visible (esspecially for Norddeutschland and Sachsen-Thüringen, these are neary invisible). You could leave them out on the minimap though

Dan Innis: Why I am running for CongressBY DAN INNIS
October 08. 2013 5:12PM
The American Dream is at risk. It is with understandable concern that we all watch events unfold in our nation's capital. Will our President and our representatives work together to solve the problems that are threatening our future? If the past few years are any guide, compromise will be hard to achieve.
But I believe in our nation and I am confident that with the right leadership in Washington we can see our way to a bright future. That is why today I am announcing my candidacy.
My background is humble. I was born in Ohio, the first of three children. It would not be an exaggeration to say we were poor. Making ends meet each month sometimes required my father to take a second job. My parents emphasized the importance of ethics, hard work and the promise of education. And they taught us that if you did the right things, told the truth and made good decisions, each of us could achieve the American Dream.
As a boy I developed a keen interest in business and looked forward to reading my grandfather's Forbes magazines when he was finished with them. I was the first person in my family to attend college, which I was able to afford with the help of scholarships, a Pell Grant and student loans. After spending some time working in the private sector, I returned to school, received my Ph.D., and became a college professor.
For almost seven years I've been leading the business school at the University of New Hampshire, preparing the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs. As dean, I have helped grow undergraduate business enrollment from 1,700 students to more than 2,200 students while working to raise private funds to construct a new, state-of-the art facility for our students and the business community.
Along with my work as an educator, I co-own and operate a successful small business in Portsmouth. We have worked hard and the business will expand later this year. I am proud to be a part of the New Hampshire economy.
I am not a politician. I have not lived my life making decisions based on running for elected office. Rather, I have built a business, helped to educate future leaders and helped my children to become responsible adults.
The American Dream has been there for me. It is important to me that it is there for my three children and the generations that follow. I believe in American exceptionalism, and I firmly believe we need to change the course in Washington and get our nation back on track.
As New Hampshire's next representative in Congress, I will have four priorities.
First, we must get our fiscal house in order. We have a spending problem in Washington and our growing national debt carries a huge cost. I believe we have a moral obligation to future generations to work together and finally get Washington spending under control.
Second, I believe our federal government is too big and is found in too many places. We know the uncertainty of government policies causes businesses and families to behave cautiously, which leads to fewer opportunities for working families to get good jobs. As Congressman, I will work to responsibly shrink the size of government and help get America back to work.
Third, I will work to reform our tax system. We need to make our individual tax rates sensible, simple and fair. I also support cutting our corporate tax, which is currently the highest in the world. If we want to grow business at home, we have to act like we want business here.
Finally, we must invest in the future of our America. Smart infrastructure and education investments are critical. Without a solid transportation and communication backbone, we lose our competitive edge. In addition, our community colleges, universities and vocational schools all play a key role in our future competitiveness and they must be made more affordable to all.
My goal is to go to Washington to represent the people of New Hampshire. We are the "Live free or die" state. It is not just a motto. It is part of who we are, and our values must be heard in Washington. I believe that I have the life experience, skills and values to make a difference. I hope I will have the opportunity to meet and talk with you on the campaign trail soon.
Dan Innis, former dean of the UNH Business School, lives in Portsmouth. He is running for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 1st District.

Indiana begins passenger rail talks with Amtrak
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Department of Transportation has begun negotiations with Amtrak over continuing passenger rail service four days per week between Indianapolis and Chicago after the loss of about $3 million in federal funding, the agency said Tuesday.
The announcement of the Hoosier State line talks came one week before a key deadline: Amtrak has said it will not interrupt service in states that have begun good-faith contract negotiations by Oct. 1.
INDOT already was holding talks with mayors and other local leaders in communities with stops on the line, and the local officials are making local funds available as part of a financing package, INDOT said.
"Governor (Mike) Pence supports the joint local and state effort to continue this passenger rail service, but with the negotiations, there are still a number of hurdles to be cleared," INDOT Commissioner Karl Browning said in a statement. "There's common interest among state and local officials to ensure that the service is accountable for the tax dollars being invested."
Congress voted in 2008 to end federal support for Amtrak routes of less than 750 miles. At least seven of the 19 states affected already have signed operating agreements with Amtrak, INDOT said.
The Hoosier State line -- with stops in Crawfordsville, Lafayette, Rensselaer and Dyer -- carried 37,000 passengers last year. Amtrak's long-distance Cardinal service, which operates the remaining three days each week between Cincinnati and Chicago via Indianapolis, is not affected by the withdrawal of federal funding.
The estimate that Amtrak provided in May to keep the Hoosier State passenger rail service in operation is $2.96 million annually. Divided among each one-way passenger, this is approximately $80 in government support for each $24 ticket, INDOT said.
Communities that contribute funding would have a say in overseeing performance of the line, INDOT said. Specific contributions among all parties will not be known until negotiations with Amtrak conclude, it said.
At the request of lawmakers, INDOT has completed a cost-benefit analysis of the existing passenger service and four options that Amtrak provided for improved frequency and departure times. INDOT said it will present the study to lawmakers Thursday and post it online.

Raymond Bellavance serving 30 years in prison
Appeal heard in Maine topless coffee shop arson
Raymond Bellavance serving 30 years in prison
Maine's supreme court justices heard arguments from a 51-year-old man who's appealing his arson conviction for setting fire to a topless coffee shop in Vassalboro.
Raymond Bellavance is serving 30 years in prison for burning down the Grand View Coffee Shop in June 2009.
Prosecutors said he was angry because his former girlfriend was dating the owner.
His attorney argued that Bellavance was denied a fair trial and an impartial jury.
At Belliveau's sentencing, the judge said she imposed the maximum sentence because it was "sheer luck" nobody was killed.
Seven people, including two infants, were living in a room connected to the shop at the time of the fire

Facebook sex app let's you get closer than ever to friends
IT IS the Facebook app that was never going to struggle to find a user base. And the app that confirms what many suspected all along: in social networking, thoughts of contact of a more intimate kind are never far away.
Titled, with total lack of euphemism, "Bang With Friends", the app allows people to anonymously register an interest with sleeping with their Facebook contacts.
If their interest is unrequited, it remains a secret. If the other party has also ticked the box to register their interest, then they are both made aware.
Or, to borrow the language of the app itself, they see their "Down To Bang" button change to "Awaiting Bang" - and then, well…
The result? More than 20,000 users have signed up in just four days. And no shortage of controversy and concern followed close behind.
But for the creators - an anonymous group who have revealed, perhaps unsurprisingly, that they are Californian college-aged males - the transactions is simple: "We're just giving you closer access to the truth.
"It should be something you're expressive about, that you're comfortable with, and if there's a beautiful woman or a handsome man you're interested in, you shouldn't hold back."

The public offering of Pfizer's animal health subsidiary Zoetis raised $2.2 billion on Thursday, making it the largest IPO of a U.S. company since Facebook.
Zoestis' CEO Juan Ramon Alaix said in an interview on CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' that his company was positioned well to be a public company, with a unique portfolio and strength in emerging markets.
"It's the right time" to be independent from Pfizer, he said. The performance of Zoetis, which was up over 20 percent immediately after trading opened, could wet the appetite for more companies to initial public offering in 2013.
In the U.S. IPO proceeds, excluding Facebook, fell 35 percent in 2012 from a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Shake Shack, the upscale burger joint started by restaurateur Danny Meyer, hopes to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering.
The chain, which began in 2001 as a cart selling Chicago-style Vienna Beef hot dogs in New York's Madison Square Park, on Monday filed paperwork for the IPO with U.S. regulators.
Many industry watchers expected that Shake Shack, which opened its first Chicago shop in November, would list shares. The company said it plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SHAK."
"We have always been so incredibly grateful for the enormous number of people from all walks of life who genuinely love Shake Shack,...

On Oct. 19, 1936, she was united in marriage to Roy E. Stickelman. He preceded her in death in 1988.
Stickelman was a life-long member of the First Baptist Church in Gothenburg and was a Sunday School teacher and choir director.
She will be remembered for her lovely porcelain dolls and the many hours spent in helping others create their own, according to family members. In 1995, she was awarded Outstanding Citizen by the Gothenburg Chamber of Commerce, and was an honorary Pony Express rider for the year of 1995.
Stickelman was preceded in death by: her husband, Roy; two brothers—Eldon Joneson of Cozad and Wallace Joneson of Florida; two sisters—Alyce Williams and Gretchen Kerr, both of Gothenburg; a grandson, Courtney Stickelman.
Survivors include: her son, Brad (Janine) Stickelman, and their son, Corby (Sherry), and their sons—Barrett and Decker; her daughter, Sherril Whitaker, and her daughter, Stacey Basham; nieces, nephews and their families.

LONDON (AP) — Gary Barlow says he's "flattered" to receive the 21st Music Industry Trusts Award in recognition of his work with British music and charities.
The singer, songwriter and producer — who also serves as a judge on the U.K. version of "The X Factor" — was honored Monday in London at a dinner held to benefit charities Nordoff Robbins and the BRIT Trust.
Barlow, perhaps best known as a member of the band Take That, said receiving the award is "amazing" but added, "I've visited the schools that are benefiting from tonight, and they're incredible places and they need help and they need funding, so that's the real reason we're here."
Past recipients of the award include Sir Elton John and Kylie Minogue.

Derry native helps invent new ambulanceBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
February 15. 2013 10:37PM
DERRY - It only seems natural that a man from the hometown of America's first man in space would latch onto a space-age technology in helping design the world's first self-disinfecting ambulance.
Derry native Mark Brassard said he came up with the idea while peering into an ambulance at a trade show last summer. Last month, the first self-disinfecting ambulance rolled off the vehicle assembly line of Osage Ambulance Company in Linn, Mo.
Brassard, who has a background in renewable energy, had been studying the effects of atmospheric hydrogen radicals, also known as hydroxyls, on airborne and surface-borne pathogens. When he looked into the back of the ambulance at the trade show, he said he realized these hydroxils could be used to keep both patients and emergency responders safe.
"I looked at all of the equipment, hoses, gauges, and dials inside the ambulance," Brassard said.
"It dawned on me they were all places a virus or bacterium could hide and threaten human life."
Microscopic hydroxyls are made of some of the smallest atoms in the universe and are capable of penetrating even the smallest nooks and crannies to disinfect and decontaminate.
Hydroxyls are made through the natural interaction of sunlight with moisture in the air. According to Brassard, hydroxyls are nature's way of cleaning the environment.
"All of us know linens smell so much cleaner and fresher when hung outside to dry," Brassard said. "That's because of hydroxyls. They're all-natural air and surface cleaners that are completely harmless to us, but they're extremely effective against germs, mold and odors."
The hydroxyl generator inside the ambulances is a technology that was pioneered by NASA, which first used one to disinfect and deodorize the interior of the space shuttle without using harsh chemicals.
The hydroxyl method is more efficient and less toxic than using typical cleansers such as bleach and ammonia, according to Brassard.
Even armed with the space age idea, Brassard said not everyone immediately jumped at the idea.
Barry Michael Bashkoff, the president of Cromwell Emergency Vehicles (an Osage Ambulance dealer),
was the first one to take Brassard's idea seriously.
"Mark came into the Cromwell booth and began sketching his idea of building a hydroxyl purifier into one of the ambulance cabinets," Bashkoff said. "The idea made a lot of sense to me, and I understood the science behind it, but we pack a lot of unique equipment into our vehicles already. I didn't know if the device could fit."
Bashkoff said Brassard's persistence paid off, as he measured and determined how the device could fit into the ambulance.
The device combats germs and odors in the front and back of the ambulance.
"It goes up into the cabin of the ambulance and disinfects and sterilizes there, as well," Brassard said. "The driver as well as the person riding in the back are protected."
Florida-based HGI Industries manufactures the Odorox hydroxyl device used in the Osage Ambulances.
"We monitor our industry very closely, and we don't know of anyone who has used the technology in this way," said Ralph Kubitzki, HGI's research director. "Mark and Barry have created the first ambulance on the planet with a fully functional immune system."
Brassard said several of the ambulances have been sold already, with the first one going to a community that had some of its fire and emergency equipment damaged during Hurricane Sandy.
He said he believes it's only a matter of time before every ambulance has a built-in hydroxyl purifier and that the use of the technology will spread.
Because hydroxyls are effective against germs, yet harmless to pets, plants, and humans, Brassard said they will be used more in hospitals, restaurants, schools, day care centers, fitness clubs, office buildings, and homes in the near future.
"Within five years we'll be seeing hydroxyl purifiers anywhere there's mold, odors, harmful chemicals or germs," Brassard said.

Book Recommendations?
As someone who has been carrying for a year now with no training other than spending (way to much) time on these forums what can you guys recommend from a professional point of view? Looking at some of Masaad Ayoobs stuff and wondering what would be best. I compete in IDPA, am a decent shot and am very comfortable as I have shot all my life. I have always had a HD pistol, but made the decision to carry last year after a friend of mine was murdered. I posted another thread about walking into my house after leaving the door open recently which could or could not leave one to vulnerabilities. In other words it got me rethinking the whole situation. I want to be the most responsible and prepared CCW holder I can be. What books are out that that address this kind of mentality? I am interested in formal training, but haven't look locally yet. I would like to get started by reading some stuff. Thanks.

I all ways recommend Bill Jordan's "No Second Place Winner". Jordan is one of the last of the gunfighters.
For one of the best gun books on safety and a really great read, is Skeeter Skelton's book on misses.

Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry by Mas Ayoob provides an excellent overview of many different concealed carry topics, with good pictures of various carry methods along with thorough discussions of each method's pros & cons. Strongly recommended.
The Concealed Handgun Manual by Chris Bird offers solid lessons woven in with engaging stories about how people defended themselves using handguns. Again, strongly recommended.
(Disclaimer: this one's mine.) The Cornered Cat: A Woman's Guide to Concealed Carry by Kathy Jackson gives a lot of practical info for female shooters, and a lot of general information including ethical, social, moral, and legal considerations of using deadly force that should be helpful for both men and women.

Highly recommend both of them, for both the practical wisdom put forth in them and as a great historical record of the last great gun slingers.
Colonel Askins wrote a great book too, "Unrepenant Sinner", and while long on stories and gunning and soldiering, it has very little in the way of practical advice, but still a great read.

Rory Miller's books, David Grossman's, Gavin de Becker to name a few other authors, all have useful knowledge.
Coopers old book Principles of Personal Defense... buy it.
That Amazon link will take you to other related books, most listed in the above posts.
As Ayoob points out, you really need to know your State's laws on the subject along with the fact that an attorney who knows the subject is going to be paramount in the event you actually use lethal force and how to deal with the aftermath. So maybe something from Alan Korwins group as well.
And just because... Sun Tzu, The Art of War has age old wisdom worth taking to heart (he wrote a little while before firearm use became the norm ).

Strong agreement with Rory Miller's material. His books -- Meditations on Violence, Facing Violence, and Scaling Force -- are all excellent explorations of very critical concepts in self defense.
If you have time for only one of Rory's books, I'd recommend Facing Violence. Lots of excellent, excellent information and a bajillion "ah ha!" moments.

Something that I haven't seen mentioned is a book of gun laws pertaining to your particular state. As far as I know, there are books for just about every state that has most or all of that particular states gun laws, plus an easier to read and understand non-legalese explanation of the laws.
The Arizona Gun Owners Guide book helped me from getting in trouble. I had been under the impression that I could go onto school property (had to drop off and pick up my daughter from pre-school, located on a high school campus) with my gun as long as I had a permit. I could have it on in the car, but if I left the car I'd have to take it off and put it out of sight and lock the car. Well, after reading that I found out that the gun had to be unloaded prior to entering school property, regardless of anything else. If I had been caught, that little indiscretion could have been really bad for me.

Most Federal laws are very general (not all, of course). State laws are usually much more specific and expand on some of the general federal laws. Which is why I recommended a book specifically about state laws...such as (if you're from Arizona):
There's books for practically every state, and I know that particular book actually goes into federal laws that are pertinent as well.

Despite winter weather, Lions feel primed for 2013
Team: Lansing track and field
Last year's top finishes: 2012 regional champions
Coach: Brian Malm
Key returners:
* senior Malika Baker; multi-state medalist (400, 800 and 1,600 meters)
* senior Nashia Baker; multi-state medalist (800 and 1,600)
* junior Lindsay Davis; multi-state medalist (400 and triple jump)
* senior JT Hager; multi-state medalist (4x100 and 4x400 relays)
* senior Jimmy Bormolini; multi-state medalist (4x100 and 4x400)
* senior Joe Henry; multi-state medalist (4x100 and 4x400)
Newcomers to watch:
* junior Kyle Saunders; 300 and 400 hurdles
* junior Cole Hoing; 800 and 1,600
* sophomore Carli Bohannon; 400 and high jump
* junior David Potter; 100 and 200
* freshman Jolee Ritchhart; pole vault and sprints
Team Outlook: STRENGTHS — A large group of upperclassmen who possess state experience is the biggest feather in Lansing's cap this year.
For the girls, the squad is dangerous in most events according to Malm, while the boys' best asset can be found in the sprinters' events.
WEAKNESSES — Like everyone else, the weather has really affected the Lions' preparations.
"We are struggling to get 10 quality practices in for our athletes before the first meet," Malm said. "Our technique time has been minimal and our learning curve is delayed. We have also been plagued with a couple of season ending injuries."
Big meets: At KU Relays April 19; At Shawnee Mission North Relays May 2; At KVL meet May 11
Coach says: "Last year we had perfect weather over the spring break to work on technique and conditioning.
"This year that is not the case. We have a lot of upperclassmen who have put in the time in the weight room and competed in indoor meets.
"They have a lot of goals for themselves and the team this year. We are eager to get the season started to gauge where we are and where we need to be so that we can compete in Wichita in May."

"Deep Breath," the feature-length "Doctor Who" season-premiere episode that debuted on BBC America on Aug. 23, will be coming to Blu-ray and DVD on Sept. 9.
Directed by Ben Wheatley, the episode was written by current "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat and set the Doctor and his companion, Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), on very familiar territory in Victorian London — the city is threatened first by a rampaging T. Rex and then by repair bots run amok, harvesting human organs for their own purposes.
The installment marked the beginning of Peter Capaldi's tenure as the cosmic time-traveler, though the Scottish actor, best known for his role as a foul-mouthed government official in the political comedy "The Thick of It," is no stranger to the "Doctor Who" universe.
He appeared in the 2008 episode "The Fires of Pompeii" alongside the 10th Doctor, David Tennant, and in the "Torchwood" miniseries spinoff "Children of Earth,"
GRAPHIC: Meet the many faces of 'Doctor Who'
Capaldi made his debut as the Doctor in a brief scene in November's 50th-anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor." A few weeks later, he made his more-official entrance in last year's Christmas special, alongside Coleman.
The Blu-ray and DVD will include a number of special features, among them a prequel scene and a behind-the-scenes featurette that was only seen during theatrical showings of "Deep Breath" this past weekend.
The episode garnered a high level of interest — "Deep Breath" ranked as BBC America's highest-rated season premiere.

Open Typesetting Stack
PKP is currently working on an XML publishing workflow whereby article components (submission documents, citation lists, article metadata) are transformed into NLM XML for subsequent use in the publishing process. This meta-project consists of numerous sub-projects, and is itself directly inspired by PKP's Lemon8 project.
Previous iterations of this project include the OJS XML Galley Plugin (a standard component of OJS), the Citation Markup Assistant (also a standard component of OJS), and Lemon8 (an external application, since retired). The current focus of the project is on converting OJS submission drafts into NLM XML, which can in turn be converted to HTML and PDF galleys.
Project Contacts
- | Demonstration Instance (this is unlikely to produce publication-ready results currently, but can be useful for getting most of the way to good output, if you're already accustomed to getting your hands dirty with markup!)
- Note that we're still feeling out the capacity of the demonstration instance, so please get in touch if the server appears to be significantly slower on one day than it was previously -- it might be time to scale up.
PKP XML Conversion Service
PKP is developing a standalone service for converting unstructured documents in a Microsoft Word or LibreOffice compatible format to structured NLM JATS XML, and from there, creating attractive, usable HTML and PDF article views from the XML. This is intended to decrease the labour involved in the layout stage, and facilitate the creation of archive-friendly and web-native article formats (as well as facilitating indexing in PubMed Central). This work has been funded by Stanford University's MediaX incubator under the direction of John Willinsky since 2012.
We are also providing an OJS plugin which integrates into the OJS workflow and treats this parsing service as an API, which will be available in OJS 2.4.5. In 2013, we released an early proof of concept of this functionality, which we are now redeveloping in combination with the Open Library of the Humanities.
The code for the webservice, as well as documentation for querying the API, is available | here. The results are perpetually improving, but we have not yet decided when or if it will be officially declared to be out of (or in) beta.
The code for the OJS plugin is available | here. Currently, the only plugin settings that can be configured are the desired Citation Style for the Journal and the desired CSS for the HTML version of the parsed article, if you don't want to use our provided CSS. Currently, the plugin is designed to generate new XML/HTML/PDF galleys from the markup server, replacing existing galleys, every time a new review or layout version of a submission is uploaded. This will change in a future version, but for now, be careful not to overwrite existing files if you don't wish to use the markup plugin workflow exclusively.
