Pallet trends to watch in 2011
What are the most important issues facing the pallet industry in 2011 that might also affect pallet users?

What is the pallet industry watching? To find out, we talked to Chaille Brindley, publisher of Pallet Enterprise, the leading trade publication covering the pallet industry. Brindley also publishes The Pallet Profile Weekly, and The Recycle Record, two newsletters that cover issues of interest to pallet manufacturers and end users alike.
Brindley identified three stories he's going to be following next year.
A new pallet mandate from Costco
Last August, Costco released an addendum to its structural packaging specifications (http://www.unitedpacificpallet.com/resources/files/CostcoPalletSpecAddendum.pdf). Starting in January 2011, the club store will no longer accept 48 x 40-inch GMA stringer or runner style pallets at its distribution centers. Instead, suppliers are required to ship their products on 48 x 40-block pallets. The club store will accept shipments on rental pallets from iGPS, PECO Pallet and CHEP.
"Equivalent one-way block pallets that are a better value than renting from iGPS, PECO and CHEP" are also acceptable under the new specs. Those pallets must be the equivalent of a PECO or CHEP pallet based on a detailed report using the PDS pallet design system from the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association. Last, while Costco sorts rental pallets for the Big Three, if you ship in your own pallet, don't expect to get it back: Costco says it won't return or exchange pallets that aren't part of one of the recognized pallet pools.
Why this is an important story? According to Brindley, it represents the first time that a U.S. retailer has specified a block pallet for its distribution center. "Retailers have advocated for rental pallets in the past, but they have accepted other pallets coming into their distribution centers," he says. "This is the first time I can remember a retailer trying to get rid of stringer pallets." Block rental pallets are generally a higher quality product than a GMA or other stringer-style pallet, but they are also more expensive to manufacture. That probably explains why Costco doesn't want to give them back. As Brindley explains, Costco has purchased a lot of new block pallets over the past year.
What's the impact on pallet users? The mandate won't have much of an impact on manufacturers already participating in a pallet pool. The fact that Costco will sort pooled pallets for return, but not alternative pallets, is a potential big deal to Costco suppliers who are shipping on their own pallets. "They'll have to decide if they're going to move some or all of their pallet business to CHEP, PECO or iGPS, or give up an expensive block pallet," says Brindley. If you're not in a pallet pool – and many manufacturers are not – Brindley doesn't think you should change all of your logistics to meet the Costco mandate. "There's something to be said for not putting all of your pallet eggs into one rental model," he says, adding that large shippers may want to divide their business among the three rental pools. He is also waiting to see if Costco blinks and agrees to sort non-rental pallets for pickup. "I know that the pallet industry would like Costco to sort them out," Brindley says. "I think if Costco is going to mandate the specification, they're going to have to be willing to return the pallets. But we'll see."
One other related development Brindley is watching is a new pallet pool proposed by the industry known as the Pallet Industry Management System, or PIMS. You can learn more about this initiative at http://www.pimspallet.com. The concept behind PIMS, according to the organization, "is based on a collaboration of pallet producers and recyclers, grocery and pharmaceutical customers working to ensure delivery of exceptional pallet quality, performance and durability on an industry-wide basis." Costco has said it would accept a PIMS design for the Costco standard provided the pallet has an official PIMS marking. The next step is for the pallet industry to come together to get PIMS off the ground. "PIMS is the white wood answer to the pallet rental pools," says Brindley. "It is currently in development, and I'm not sure if it will take off. But it is attracting interest from pallet users and pallet companies alike."
Brambles acquires IFCO
As Modern reported last month, Brambles, the parent company of CHEP, has announced its intention to acquire IFCO, the pallet and returnable plastic container (RPC) management company. Given their respective sizes, how the two companies come together once the regulatory approvals are over is of potential interest to every pallet user since CHEP dominates the rental market and IFCO is a major player in the pallet management and recycled pallet markets.
What's Brindley's take? "I believe Bramble's real interest in IFCO was not for its recycled pallet and pallet management business, but for the returnable plastic container business and that they will merge that with CHEP," says Brindley. When it comes to pallets, in his view, the two companies will probably continue to operate as separate entities. "The cultures are very different," he says. "CHEP works with some of the best pallet recyclers and logistics providers, most of whom are very automated. IFCO is known as a conventional pallet recycler that focuses on the high volume, commodity end of the pallet business." That said, Brindley would not be surprised to see CHEP try to convert IFCO customers to the rental model, and to use IFCO's logistics expertise to get rental pallets back into the market faster. He also wouldn't be surprised if IFCO pulls back on the aggressive pricing strategy it previously used in the market, which could ease price competition in the short term.
What's the impact on end users? "If you're an IFCO customer, when this all settles out, I wouldn't be surprised if you get a call from CHEP down the road," Brindley says. "And before next year is out, I wouldn't be surprised if we see pallet prices go up and a shortage of cores in the used pallet market in some parts of the country. Actually, we are already starting to see tight core supplies in some markets."
Food safety and drug recalls
The most visible pallet story of 2010 was the recalls by Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer of product alleged to have been contaminated by the chemical, 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA), which can result from the breakdown of another chemical called 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) when a treated pallet becomes wet and releases a moldy, musty smell. Although TBP is banned in the U.S., it is used as a fungicide to treat transport packaging materials, including pallets, in some South American and Caribbean countries. In the case of J&J and Pfizer, the allegedly contaminated product originated in Puerto Rico.
Why this is an important story? "I think it's a made-up crisis chasing a real issue," says Brindley. "It's made up because whatever happened has nothing to do with pallets manufactured in the United States. Whether pallets are at fault or not, whatever happened with the recalls had to do with off-shore manufacturing and different standards for treating wood in the Caribbean than the standards in the United States." At the same time, Brindley acknowledges that the issue has put a spotlight on pallets in the purchasing departments of pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods companies, and not necessarily for the better. "It's good in that people have pallets on their radar screen," he says. "Too many people look at a pallet as a pallet and now they realize that's not always the case. But it has also caused a lot of worry in the marketplace. End users need to realize this is a sanitation and storage issue and not a pallet issue."
What is the impact on pallet users? "Pallets need a little bit of respect," says Brindley. "Pallet users need to realize that a pallet can go anywhere. You have to think about climate and regulatory issues." Brindley advises pallet users to talk to their pallet suppliers about how they intend to use their pallets, and pallet suppliers need to be thinking about how to treat their pallets if they're going into an environment where wood pests, international regulations, mold or sanitation can be an issue." Those are both issues that the pallet users and suppliers alike are trying to sort through.

India slammed arch-rival Pakistan on Wednesday over a firefight in the disputed territory of Kashmir in which two of its soldiers were killed, and said the mutilation of one of the bodies was "inhuman".
Officials said Pakistan's envoy to New Delhi was likely to be summoned during the day to register a protest over Tuesday's incident, in which Pakistani troops crossed the territory's heavily militarized Line of Control (LoC) and fired at an Indian army patrol. The body of one of the soldiers was found "badly mutilated" in a forested area on the side controlled by India, Rajesh K. Kalia, spokesman for the Indian army's Northern Command, said. However, he denied Indian media reports that one of the bodies had been decapitated and the throat of another had been slit.
"Pakistan Army's action is highly provocative," Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony, told reporters in New Delhi. "The way they treated the dead body of the Indian soldier is inhuman. We will convey our protest to the Pakistan government."

Firing and small skirmishes between the two countries are common along the 740-km (460 mile) LoC despite a ceasefire and slowly improving bilateral ties. The Indian army says eight of its soldiers were killed in 2012, in 75 incidents.
However, incursions by troops from either side are rare, and one Indian media report said Tuesday's incident marked the "first major ingress" since the ceasefire was agreed in 2003.
Pakistan has denied the latest Indian allegations. A Pakistani military spokesman said they were "propaganda" aimed at diverting attention away from a clash along the LoC two days earlier in which Pakistan had said one of its soldiers was killed after an Indian incursion.
India denies that its troops crossed over the line during last weekend's incident.
India considers the entire region of snow-capped mountains and fertile valleys an integral part of its territory. Pakistan contests that and demands implementation of a 1948 U.N. Security Council resolution for a plebiscite to determine the wishes of the Kashmiri people.

Thank you for your harrowing Summer Storm stories.
Whew! What thrilling rides!
So this week, let's hear your family fireworks stories. Tell us how they did it in the "old days" of Grandma and Grandpa. Parades, bizarres, or town picnics. I happen to know in SE Idaho, there used to be "dance halls" - not the saloon type, but large buildings built especially for the community to get together for dances when celebrating. The Forth of July was one such occasion - I'm sure there were fireworks in there too. Maybe there's some stories like that in your family tree.
Or tell us about the time your uncles and your dad were throwing firecrackers at each other. Or the time your husband burnt the seat of his best-friend's mother's new minivan (and his buttocks) because he thought he could light the firecrackers and then throw them out the window - that was closed (sadly, yes, I know the person with this story).
For personal stories, is there a particular celebration that sticks out in your mind? Have you watched fireworks on the water? In a big city? Private showing? Lots of choices. Even feel free to talk about the day leading up to the display - homemade ice cream, cookouts, carnivals, or fairgrounds. Anything goes here - so long as they end up with a BANG! :)


text: Texas Panhandle Rehearses to Handle Livestock Disasters April 7, 2014 05:54 AM Tweet © Wyatt Bechtel TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email Planners in the Texas Panhandle — a major region for cattle feedlots, hog production and the dairy industry — have completed an 18-month $1.4 million program to help minimize and survive natural or man-made disasters such as a major disease outbreak. The Amarillo Globe-News reported that an important theme during the Texas Panhandle planning process was the threat of diseases — such as foot-and-mouth disease — arriving through natural means or possibly by terrorism. The viral disease afflicts animals with divided hooves and can spread quickly, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department. It was eradicated in the United States in 1929 but the USDA makes extensive efforts to prevent it reappearing. At any given time in the Panhandle region 2.5 million cattle are in feedlots, 90 percent of the state's hogs are being raised and dairies producing 1 million gallons of milk a year just for a cheese factory in Dalhart. "The loss of large-scale feeding operations, from any cause, will result in catastrophic economic losses," said Walt Kelley, project manager of the Regional Resiliency Assessment Program. The planning effort involved business leaders, county judges and other emergency management offices such as sheriffs' departments. They were advised by major livestock producer associations, academics, and state and federal agencies involved in agriculture and emergency operations. They studied scenarios for disease outbreaks such as a situation that forced livestock trucking to be stopped, or required officials to deal with thousands of cattle corpses. They also discussed how to contain any outbreak and keep businesses either operating or ready to operate as soon as possible. Texas Cattle Feeders Association president Ross Wilson said the planning helps cattle feeders in natural disasters and in response to animal disease. Long-term benefits will come from talks among the groups involved in the planning, said John Kiehl, regional services director for the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission, said. "If we can build on what has been started with this ... by taking the conversation into other states, we can make serious strides in protecting an industry that is critically important to the entire nation," he said.

Morgan RV Resorts-Owned Facility Owes Taxes
January 21, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Morgan RV Resorts-Owned Facility Owes Taxes
White County, Ind., businesses and residents are hoping that attempts to bolster the area's economic lifeblood — the tourism industry — won't stall in the wake of a large outstanding bill.
As reported by the Journal & Courier, Lafayette, officials discovered recently that Monticello's most popular recreational attraction owes the county hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.
Indiana Beach Amusement Resort, owned by Morgan RV Resorts, owes White County an estimated $347,000 in combined property and innkeeper's taxes, according to the county's tourism authority and treasurer.
Indiana Beach has neglected to pay an estimated $180,000 in innkeeper's taxes, which partly go toward promoting the area's tourism industry, and about $167,000 in 2011 property taxes.
And the financial health of Morgan RV Resorts has been called into question.
Morgan RV Resorts recently agreed to sell 11 of its RV communities to Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership LLC of Michigan for $135 million. Since the deal hasn't been finalized, it is unclear whether Morgan's assets in Monticello are part of the agreement. The company did not return numerous calls and messages from the Journal & Courier.

In a clash of culture, The Carter Family Portraits replaces famous artworks with famous people, specifically Beyonce and Jay-Z. The two are seen in iconic paintings like Grant Wood's American Gothic or Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. The Tumblr gallery has a lot more to offer and extends to both classical and more contemporary works, which seems to say that the celebrity of Jay and Bey transcend all time.
The Photoshopped images are of varying quality (some look flawless while others need more work), with a general knowledge of art history represented (no deep cuts here). But, aside from this, when they "work," these images are an amusing look at the combination of celebrities, the different forms that it takes, and what the mixture of high vs. low culture looks like.

This is a contribution to the 23rd Accretionary Wedge blog carnival hosted by Geology Happens.
I work on the microfacies, diagenesis, geochemistry and raw material properties of Jurassic shallow-marine carbonate rocks. Unfortunately that is about as much as I can openly discuss about my work details because the project is sponsored by and part of a German constructon material supplier. But that does not matter. There are plenty of issues that I love. Let me tell you about a few of them.
Shallow-marine carbonates: Even though my thesis is related there are issues I would far more enjoy. These are the recent shallow-marine carbonate environments. I enjoy watching images and aerial fotos of reef systems. The Great Barrier Reef, the reefs of the Red Sea or the Bahamas. Just to name some of the better known ones. Nevertheless I am most curious about the non-skeletal carbonates like Ooids. Their deltas and formation is still a not completely solved puzzle and a variety of conclusions on their depositional environment can be drawn from their different internal structures. For example radial or tangential ooids. Yes and, maybe it is just a good excuse to some day actually go to see the Bahamas or the Red Sea.
Calamine Ore deposits: There used to be a number of Calamine (Galmei in German) mines in the Aachen region and around Brilon in central Germany. I would very much like to work on these kinds of deposits to find out about their mineralisation history, the palaeoclimatical controls on weathering and supergene ore formation. There is a lot of recent interest into these because of the lack of sulfides in these which makes it more environmental friendly to mine and smelt the ores.
Phosphate deposits and terrestrial evaporites: Both of these I want to work on because I know little about them. I know their uses for fertilizers and the chemical industry but their formation is a mystery when considering the details, aside of the general parts I assume every geologists knows. Sedimentary phosphorites are the most common source and directly linked to the activity of life. They are peculiar. Rare. Geologically speaking. Island or Guano deposits are small, rather recent bird droppings. Last but not least some carbonatites and pegmatites rich in apatite. Nice, shiny minerals.
Tantalum and Niobium deposits: I don't even know why I like these so much but I would really love to work on some tantalite placers in Namibia or elsewhere. This would almost have been my Master thesis topic - if financial issues wouldn't have killed it. *sniff*
So I now told you what I want to do. Some of it. Because what I do now I cannot talk about. Now all that is missing is to find someone to support all of those interests or winning the lottery that I don't play.
I am a Carbonate and Economic Geologist - when I am not being lost or travelling. :-)

I've always been envious of carbonate geologists for all the cool places (i.e. modern environments) they can go and study. As a geologist woking in the clastic world, the best places where I can see cool rocks are dry and barren. No scuba diving or snorkeling while thinking about production rates. Oh well.... So keep doing what you are doing, there are so many interesting problems to solve.

I have to admit that I never saw a contemperous carbonate environment. I only know them from the fossil record. Though I would of course love to see them in real. Generally, I love the sea-side. Even if there are no carbonates.

Sometimes a captivating design idea hurtles from left field. Like this.
Okay, so the poor kid was disqualified. But the fact is that while knitting and watching the Olympics I was shown SHOT after SHOT of that stunning Dutch speed skating UNIFORM, inspired my next design idea (to be completed as soon as possible). Today I picked up the yarn at Windsor Button:
The pattern will be called GO DUTCH. I'll be getting down to work this very evening.

The reason that these high deposition rates can be achieved is due to the fact that plasma production takes place in an upstream plasma source operated at sub-atmospheric pressure. At this high pressure, plasma production is very effective (with ionization degrees up to 10% and dissociation degrees up to 100% when molecular gases are used).
This results in large flows of reactive ions and/or neutrals once the plasma expands into a downstream, low-pressure region. In this region, the large 'amount of reactivity' can be used to dissociate large flows of deposition precursor gases (NH3, SiH4, H2, N2O, DEZ, TMA, etc.).
The remote nature of the ETP technique also allows for easier optimization of processing conditions and more freedom in reactor and substrate design and size. Finally, ion bombardment of the substrate is virtually absent as there is no electrical power coupling into the downstream plasma.
Using multiple ETP sources an excellent coating homogeneity is achieved. Typical coatings are SiNx, SiOx, amorphous Si and ZnO(Al) layers to be used as optical, protective or electrical coatings.
Applications are found in encapsulation of thin and flexible electronics and production of amorphous silicon coatings on anode foils for next generation Li-ion batteries.
Our proprietary expanding thermal plasma technology was developed in collaboration with the University of Technology in Eindhoven.

Wow, has there been a flood of stuff in the last few days about the genealogy blogging world! Everything from the impact of technology to making a profit...
I'll just throw out my two cents on that last issue, if I may.
I don't believe that more than a small handful of genealogy blogs are making any serious money. The field isn't big enough to support more than that, and most of us do it primarily as an adjunct to our hobby, not to support it entirely. In support of that position, let me discuss this blog, Indiana Dillmans.
You may have noticed I have Google Adsense and possibly Amazon affiliate links. I've run this blog since early January of 2011, about 3.5 months. In that time I've had just over 1600 page views, pretty small in the big picture, but very gratifying to me. I wasn't sure I'd get anyone else interested in what I had to say! Those 1600 page views have netted me (in theory!) a grand total of about $3.00. Yep, three bucks. And I say in theory because I have not received a payment. Google doesn't pay out until you have a certain amount coming. Granted, by using Blogger I have little or no cost up front in the blog, but I have spent many hours getting it going and continuing to post. This is not a paying proposition for me.
I don't understand the mindset of those who say we shouldn't profit from our genealogy blogs. America is the land of opportunity, and people have immigrated here for centuries for the express purpose of creating a better life for themselves by taking opportunities to make money to improve their lot. Where do people get off saying I shouldn't do that? Okay, so the tradition of family history (as opposed to professional genealogy) is to share information freely. I get that, I do share my data when asked. But I'm not charging for that data on my blog! Technically, I'm not charging for anything on my blog, I just include some advertising links. And I try to keep that minimal as well, since I personally don't like seeing a lot of advertising alongside what I'm trying to read. This probably explains why I've only racked up $3.00. If you don't like the advertising, I won't be offended if you stop reading my blog. Disappointed, perhaps.
What about guys like Dick Eastman? Consensus seems to be he has the biggest genealogy blog out there, and he does charge for some of his output. Good for him, if enough people are willing to pay for what he's saying! We're all free to choose to pay and read, or not. If his information is really that important to you, then admit it and pay! Much of the information he's been writing could be found elsewhere, but then it might take you a bunch of time to do your own research and get the same level of information. If you have more time than money, and that's your inclination, then by all means! But if your time is valuable, then it might just be worth paying Dick for his efforts in doing the research for you. I bet he thinks his time is valuable, too!
For some of you, it may be about the money. Everything costs, these days, and there's never enough money at the end of the month. I understand perfectly. I've been unemployed most of the last two years due to the lovely state of our economy. Sites like Ancestry.com have all of those images and lovely data, but I can't afford the subscription at this point. So, what can I do? I look at alternate sites. My public library offers Heritage Quest, which has a lot of images and indexes for genealogical data. Familysearch.org also offers a lot of this material. Both are free. Would I like the data on Ancestry? Sure! And when I can afford it, I'll pay. But the point I'm trying to make is that there are free alternatives that will get you pretty far, if money is your issue.
I guess my overall position on this is that if you're offended by genealogy bloggers trying to get a little back out of their blogs in a financial sense, then you're not living in the present, you're stuck in the past. We're at the point, for most of us non-wealthy folks) where putting food on the table and a roof over our heads has become much less of a given thing, and we need to place priorities on our activities. Things that can make some money will naturally come out ahead in the priority setting. If you can make a little money with your blog, go for it!
Whew! That was about triple what I planned to say when I started. If you've stuck with me and read all the way through, I thank you. I'm over the worst of my cold, and finished training for my new job, so I should be back to posting more regularly now, and hopefully you'll get more useful content real soon!
UPDATE: I went back and looked at the blog stats, and it's about 1950 views, not 1650. So, a few more pages viewed, no more money earned. This is definitely NOT a source of income for me.

DURHAM, N.H. - Senior forward Micaela Long (South Boston, Mass.) registered a goal and an assist to lift the No. 5 University of New Hampshire women's hockey team to a 3-1 victory against the University of Connecticut on Saturday afternoon in its season opener at the Whittemore Center.
The Wildcats, who extended their unbeaten streak in the series vs. UConn to 14 games (12-0-2), open the season 1-0-0 overall and 1-0-0-0 in Hockey East, while the Huskies are 0-1-0, 0-1-0-0.
The teams skated to a scoreless deadlock in the first period, with New Hampshire garnering the most chances early in the contest, registering eight shots to UConn's three in the first stanza.
New Hampshire came close to drawing first blood in the 11th minute when Raylen Dziengelewski (Southwick, Mass.) forwarded a pass over to an open Kristine Horn (Utica, Mich.) at the top of the crease. She attempted to put the puck past UConn goaltender Alexandra Garcia but was turned away. Moments later, Dziengelewski would try her own luck against Garcia as she fired a shot from the right circle but was fought off once against by the netminder.
Despite the flurry of early shots by the Wildcats, the Huskies would make the most of their early opportunity in the second period as Brittany Murphy picked up a pass from Cristin Allen, skated across the blue line into the low slot and put the puck past UNH goalie Lindsey Minton (Richardson, Texas) at 1:24.
The Wildcats would respond firing on all cylinders as they put together several scoring chances, totaling 12 shots in the period while holding UConn at bay with just four.
New Hampshire wouldn't waste much time making the most of those opportunities either as they would strike back with a goal of its own on the power play after Long and Kelly Paton (Woodstock, Ontario) both tried putting the puck in the back of the net at the top of the crease but were turned aside by Garcia on both attempts. Kelly Cahill (Farmington Hills, Mich.) would seize the opportunity as she picked up the puck off Long's deflected shot and punched it into the net from the left doorstep at 9:54 to tie the score, 1-1.
The Wildcats would add another goal later in the period as Long received a forward pass from Bryanna Farris (Carleton Place, Ontario) and fired a laser shot from the top of the left circle to give UNH a 2-1 advantage at 18:39. The assist marked Farris first career point.
New Hampshire wouldn't turn back in the final stanza as Brittany Skudder (Plainview, N.Y.) picked up a loose puck and pushed it up ice to Kristina Lavoie (Fonthill, Ontario) on the left wing, and she crossed the puck across the ice to an unmarked Julie Allen (Brampton, Ontario) at the top of the right circle. Allen, in turn, flipped the puck past Garcia at 5:17 to help secure the win for the 'Cats and give both Skudder and Lavoie their first career points.
Minton compiled 12 saves in the contest for the Wildcats, while Garcia tallied 27 of her own for the Huskies. Horn led the Wildcats with five shots, while Long, Allen and Dziengelewski each notched three of their own.
UNH has a 28-3-2 overall record in season openers, and that includes 13-2-1 at home (5-1-1 at the Whittemore Center). The Wildcats are 7-0-1 in the last eight season-opening games.
The Wildcats return to action when they play host to Quinnipiac University on Sunday, Oct. 4 (2 p.m.). Tickets for all women's ice hockey home games are available at the Whittemore Center Box Office, online at www.unhwildcats.com, or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000. Season tickets are available by calling 603-862-4000, ext. 5.

Obama Exhorts Congress To Act On Immigration [VIDEO]
President Barack Obama prodded Congress Tuesday to send him a bill by fall remaking the nation's immigration laws, even as the Senate prepared to cast its first floor votes on the landmark measure opening a door to citizenship for millions.
"Congress needs to act, and that moment is now, " Obama said, surrounded by immigration advocates, business and religious leaders, law enforcement officials and others in the East Room of the White House.
"There's no reason Congress can't get this done by the end of the summer," the president said. "There's no good reason to play procedural games or engage in obstruction just to block the best chance we've had in years to address this problem in a way that's fair to middle class families, business owners and legal immigrants."
The Senate was set to vote Tuesday afternoon on a pair of procedural measures to officially allow debate to move forward on the far-reaching legislation. The measure would boost border security and workplace enforcement, allow tens of thousands new high- and low-skilled workers into the country, and create a 13-year path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.
Both votes were expected to succeed by comfortable margins, because even some senators with deep misgivings about the immigration bill said the issue deserved a Senate debate.
Ahead of the votes, senators were readying amendments on contentious issues including border security, back taxes and health care coverage. Some Republicans said they were seeking to strengthen enforcement provisions so that they could be comfortable voting for the bill. Other GOP measures were already being dismissed by Democrats as attempts to kill the bill by striking at the fragile compromises at its core.
Meanwhile House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made his most positive comments to date on the issue, saying Tuesday he thinks there's a good chance that legislation can be signed into law "by the end of the year."
The way forward in the House remains unclear, because the chamber is dominated by conservatives many of whom view a path to citizenship as amnesty. But Boehner said he hopes for committee action by the end of June.
"I believe that it's important for the House to work its will on this issue," Boehner said on ABC's "Good Morning America." ''And I would expect that a House bill will be to the right of where the Senate is."
"I think, no question, by the end of the year we could have a bill. No question," the speaker said.
As debate opened Tuesday in the Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the bill written by a so-called Gang of Eight — four Republicans and four Democrats — would need stronger provisions on border security and other issues to earn his support.
"The Gang of Eight has done its work. Now it's time for the Gang of 100 to do its work — for the entire Senate to have its say on this issue, and see if we can do something to improve the status quo," McConnell said. "At the risk of stating the obvious, this bill has serious flaws."
Nonetheless McConnell said he intended to vote to allow the debate to go forward. The real fights will come in the days and weeks ahead as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., aims to push the bill to final Senate passage before July 4.
The bill's Senate supporters were working to determine which amendments they could accept to lock down more "yes" votes from the GOP side without losing Democratic backing. They are aiming for a resounding show of support from the Democratic-led Senate that could pressure the House to act.
Heated debate is anticipated on the border security elements of the bill. The bill sets up a system wherein immigrants may only begin taking steps toward citizenship once certain border security requirements are met. But opponents say those "triggers" aren't strong enough.
An amendment announced by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas., would require 100 percent monitoring of the entire U.S.-Mexico border and 90 percent of would-be crossers to be stopped or turned back before anyone can get a permanent resident green card. The Senate bill, authored by a bipartisan group of eight senators, also sets those figures as goals, but doesn't make the path to citizenship directly contingent on them.
"It's time for us to adopt real triggers," Cornyn said Monday. He said his measure was "essential to accomplishing the goal of bipartisan immigration reform."
But in an interview over the weekend with Univision, Reid dismissed Cornyn's amendment as a "poison pill."
"If people have suggestions like they did in the Judiciary Committee to change the bill a little bit, I'll be happy to take a look at that," Reid said. "But we're not going to have big changes in this legislation."
It's not likely to be Cornyn's, but supporters of the bill were looking for a border security measure they could support. It could be an amendment pushed by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., an author of the bill who's talked about giving Congress a more direct role in developing a border security plan that the bill now leaves to the Homeland Security Department.
Other disputes will surround amendments being pushed by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, to strengthen requirements for payment of back taxes in the bill and require previously illegal immigrants who get green cards under the bill to wait five years before beginning to access benefits under the nation's new health care law.

Anyone involved in Toastmasters? It is a great way to learn public speaking and leadership skills. If a person ever gets into a debate speaking skills are very important. I have been in it for a short while and its helped me a lot in talking in front of groups. Leadership is lacking nowadays and people that learn to speak well can send a powerful message of liberty.

Colts owner is a weird dude. But he's honest. So when he tweeted Sunday afternoon that he'd give $8,500 to the first person to correctly predict the outcome and score of the Ravens/Patriots game (with a one-point cushion), there was no reason not to take a guess. One Colts fan named Jason went with Baltimore, 27-13 (he was off by one) and waited.
As Jason told a Phish message board, he received a DM from Irsay after the game requesting his mailing address. This afternoon, a FedEx package arrived. You can see the contents above—$8,500, in hundred-dollar bills, and a note from Irsay (click to enlarge).
As Jason writes on PhantasyTour, "I think [Irsay] is the best owner in the NFL." But he's slightly biased.

1998 Meulenhof Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (10/10/2013)
It's a little bit surprising to say that a 15 year old, inexpensive wine (this cost $11.99 on release) is just starting to mature, but well, there it is. Lots of fruit still showing, mostly on the lemony side, but not tart/astringent. It has a subtle level of creaminess, just enough to provide a touch of richness/breadth to what is otherwise a very sleek wine. It's classical spatlese, not modern, overstuffed auslese sold as spatlese, and as such provides refreshement and very easy drinking pleasure, while still being complex and clearly evocative of the Treppchen. What a lovely wine, from a producer, that while not among the Mosel elite, still provdes wines that make me smile, time after time.

Tate knows he has to let it go and let his former colleagues in the police deal with it. But when the coffin is opened and its occupant is not the old man supposed to be inside, he knows he cannot walk away. He can't let the police keep digging either, because they are getting dangerously close to digging up the real truth: the truth about him. With the evidence mounting against him, Tate must stay ahead of the police and out of jail in order to find a killer. A killer who could turn Tate into the very man he despises.

As many of you know, our very sweet, new dog Vinnie has been extremely sick and in the animal hospital since Friday night. We are very, very worried, and are awaiting test results that will help determine what, exactly, is wrong with our poor boy. Please, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers...he has been through so much these last several days, including a blood transfusion. I cannot even go into detail because it saddens me a LOT.
So today, while out and about, I came across this lovely angora goat. He reminded me of Vinnie...sigh. He and I got to talking, and discovered we have so much in common - especially our love of fiber. He has agreed to live with us, and become my knitting buddy. Ain't he the cutest? His name is MO (short for MoJo).
Hurry home, Vinnie. We all miss you so stinkin much!!!

KEENE, N.H. – Junior Alexandra Taylor (Harbor Springs, Mich.) started the cross country season on a high note for the MIT women's team as she won individual honors at the Keene State Alumni Invitational. She was not the only Engineer to have a strong race, as MIT also took the team title by taking six of the top 10 spots to easily take the team title over host Keene State.
Taylor covered the two-mile course in 11:29, just edging out Jeptui Cherutich from American International who was also credited with the same time of 11:29. The Engineers went on to take places 4-6, with senior Brooke Johnson (Shoreham, N.Y.) starting the parade of Engineers with an 11:37. Right on her heels was freshman Nicole Zeinstra (Holland, Mich.) at 11:39 and sophomore Dacie Manion (Old Town, Maine) in 11:42.
MIT also took the Nos. 8 and 9 spots when freshman Allison Hallock (Boulder, Colo.) and junior Martina de Geus (Los Altos, Calif.) crossed the line with times of 11:52 and 11:55. In all the Engineers went on to take 12 of the top 20 spots in the event.
MIT will return to action in two weeks when it takes part in the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational on September 15 at 10:30 a.m.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The MIT field hockey team fell to host Springfield College, 3-0, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference game on Saturday. With the win, the Pride improved to 9-3 overall and 4-0 in NEWMAC play, while the Engineers fell to 4-8 on the year and 1-3 in conference play.
Becca Gamble recorded Springfield's first goal, scoring just 13:10 into the contest on a pass from Jane Kelleher. The game remained scoreless until the Pride struck again at the 42:13 mark. Allie Eisele found the back of the net on a rare double assist by Brittany Veazie Eileen Jenkins. Springfield's final tally came in the form of an unassisted goal by Christine Gibbins with just 1:22 remaining.
Two goalkeepers played one half each for the Pride in this game. Emma Kaplan came up with two saves in the first half, while Julia Kincade made three saves in the second stanza. For MIT, Alexa Herman had six saves as she played all 70 minutes.

REHOBOTH — The Rehoboth Republican Town Committee is meeting Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at the Palmer River Elementary School cafeteria, 326 Winthrop St.
The committee will be nominating its slate of candidates for the April 7 Rehoboth town election, through its annual caucus.
On Saturday, the Rehoboth Democratic Town Committee will be holding its own caucus at 10 a.m. at the Blanding Public Library, 124 Bay State Road.
Candidates for the upcoming election have already started to take out election papers.
All election papers are due at the Town Clerk's Office by next Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 5 p.m., with the required supporting signatures from 45 registered town voters.
Rehoboth Town Clerk Laura Schwall said previously that the caucus events are held by each of the town's major political groups as a mechanism to nominate candidates, instead of them having to search the town for 45 registered voters to provide them the required signatures.
The caucuses are open to registered voters of the respective parties and unenrolled voters.
The positions that are up for election include two spots on the Board of Selectmen (three-year terms), and two seats on the Dighton-Rehoboth School Committee (three-year terms), Schwall said.

For those who are learning kanji
Hey guys, so I just have a question for everyone who's learning kanji.
Right now, I'm almost done with my first kanji book that teaches me around the first 250 kanji, and the company has an overall of 4 workbooks, claiming to end at about 1000 kanji if you were to buy and read them all.
What my question was that, if I was to finish all of these workbooks, where do I go from there? Because doesn't your average Japanese newspaper require you to know around 2500 kanji? Is there a more efficient way to practice kanji in a more orderly manner once I'm finished with the first 1000 instead of searching for the ones I don't know?
I just feel like, although it's effective, that searching through the web or some random novel for things to read and discover takes a lot of time, and I'd like to reach the 2500 mark in around 5 years. (learning around 2-3 kanji per day.)
Living in Tokyo and can 10/10 confirm this is anime af
If you are going to work with a book, then try another one.
For example Remembering the Kanji by James W. Heisig teaches you 2200 characters.
I think the books you are buying are focussed on selling you as many books as possible and you're even better off with just searching the Kanji on the internet.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
Remembering the kanji is a great book. Another rec I'd have is Read Japanese today by Ben Walsh. I really liked how it covered the evolution of each kanji from the early pictographs the Chinese used all they way until the Japanese picked them up. While it doesn't give you stroke orders I found it easier to remember the symbols by what they first represented.
While most students out of high school know over 2,000 kanji you only need about 900 to be fairly literate. Get urself a good kanji dictionary and ur set.
I started out by trying to memorize them and write them all but now I find it is better to learn them on demand with a good dictionary. This way I am learning relevant kanji instead of ones I will soon forget. I find unless I read a lot of Japanese I tend to forget them so it works out that the kanji I encounter at least a few times are the ones that stick in my head. Kanji you encounter once are not useful unless you are a Japanese literature student.
Learning jukugo is more important than just learning kanji in the long run anyways. Just putting random kanji together makes no sense for many compound words. They are more than just the sum of their parts.
For home use The Kanji Dictionary is great and I have an awesome pocket progressive Japanese-only dictionary for away from home.
Good to see people who actually take an interest in learning the language properly. I don't see any particularly good reason why one shouldn't be able to learn Kanji in much the same way as it's learnt in Japan. As far as how much/many you should know, obviously, the more the better, but, that said, between 1000 and 2000 (the right ones that is) should be enough to get you into university in Japan. about 1000 or so should cover most manga, ads, anime, video games, etc. To be safe, learning the 2100 odd Jouyou Kanji would be my firm recommendation. By the time you've got that down pat, using a Kanji dictionary should be pretty much second nature. And beyond the Jouyou, I'd be inclined to recommend you just learn them as you go. There's tens if not hundreds of thousands of Kanji, seriously, for every single word in the Japanese language, there is technically a kanji equivalent, but, not even the most proficient among those of us who speak/read/write the language know all of them.
The best way to learn the language is to get out there and use it. Get yourself some Japanese books, magazines, manga, newspapers, etc. Try joining some Japanese social forums and learn to use Japanese wrong the right way (if that makes any sense). The more you learn the more you realise just how much you do not know. You will not know what you don't know until know enough to appreciate that you don't know it. So just work your way through the Jouyou kanji (while learning the rest of the language properly too of course) and by the time you've worked your way through that, you'll be set to at least be able to figure out for yourself how to figure Japanese out yourself.
I really hope that doesn't sound too cryptic. Best of luck, I hope you find great success with learning Japanese and fear not, it really is one of the simplest languages in the world (if you can get your head around English, you can get your head around Japanese).
I'd recommend using several techniques. The contrast amongst them should help reinforce your memory of the kanji and vocabulary you learn.
I definitely recommend Heisig's "Remembering The Kanji" series. There are 3 volumes, but the first two are what you need. I'll warn you that the series isn't as good for teaching you all the pronunciations.
To help with that, I recommend Anki. This is a program that uses spaced repetition with flash cards. You can download sets for free. I'd recommend getting a kanji set as well as a vocabulary set.
Finally... read! Practice what you learn. You'll remember it better that way. There are many dual language books that can help ease your transition to reading Japanese books, so you should start there.
You'll still need to work on grammar, though.
Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to check out this book called "Remembering The Kanji"
When it comes to pronunciation, I think I'm ok because I have Pimsleur's Japanese that pretty much hammers the language into your brain; and I save all the grammatical stuff for my workbooks and dictionaries :)
But seriously! Thanks! You've all been a great help.
Living in Tokyo and can 10/10 confirm this is anime af
I have the book A Guide To Remembering Japanese Characters from Kenneth G. Henshall and I like it very much. I also use the site http://www.surusu.com/ to do flashcards and it is very good. Finally, I subscribed to the Word Of The Day from the website http://www.japanesepod101.com/index.php. I receive a Japanese word every day for free. Try it !
What helped me was to of course to write and memorize the kanji.
But what was even more important was as someone said: to use it in real life as in reading books, manga,newspapers and so on.
It can also help(when learning to read) to find a japanese chat friend.Then you get to practice what you've learned and probably will discover new kanji characters as well. Good luck!
Anki. Not a book. It's a free application you can get on your phone or download to your computer. You can make your own Kanji lists or use lists other people have made. I use it for my JLPT test studying. Very helpful and... free. :)
The thing with kanji is to not only learn the words it can be associated with, but to focus on learning both the on yomi and kun yomi readings. Kun yomi is the Japanese reading. On yomi is the Chinese reading. It's usually associated with the kanji when the kanji is in a word, or not first in the word. Knowing the different readings will help you be able to read it in a word you have perhaps never seen before. From there it's an easy look up in a dictionary now that you know how to read it.

Just know that the book is not about learning the readings or pronunciation AT ALL.
It is strictly a book about using mnemonics to remember the meaning of individual kanji in English.
There is no Japanese taught in the book.
Memorizing straight kanji will only take you so far, as most words are compounds and every kanji has multiple readings. I would strongly recommend learning words, and learn the kanji as you increase your vocabulary. Good books to do that with are the JLPT study guides, I like the "Nihongo So Matome" series. Most are broken up for daily practice with 8-10 new kanji a day, but also with 5-6 words per kanji that use that kanji. My N3 kanji book had about 200 new kanji, but also from those kanji it taught me close to 1000 new words. Take that information and drop it into an Anki deck and you will be golden.
In the computer age, reading kanji is also becoming more important that being able to write it, as your PC will do that for you.
I use my Galaxy S3 phone with apps
I plan on learning it myself time permitting. It's been something I've wanted to do for the last 7 years I had quite a few Japanese friends some years ago and I learned a little bit from them but not nearly enough.
If you're a Sword Art Online fan, or enjoy gaming feel free to add me
I first studied through the meanings of the elementary school kanji (a bit over 1,000 kanji), then I drilled through those meanings many times. I'm about 300 characters into the junior high kanji now. After study and drilling, many characters are still very fuzzy, though I seemed to pick up some of them quite easily. The fuzzy characters tend to solidify when I learn words that use them. As mentioned by others in this thread, learning words is very important for learning kanji.

Bierhaus NYC
- Expired
- Midtown East
- German, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Bars
There's a staircase in East Midtown that leads straight to Bavaria. Trust us – these steps pave the way for a day (or even just a lunch break) spent enjoying the pleasures of a spacious German biergarten — and it's all just a short climb up 3rd Avenue.It's true that one can find just about anything they're hankerin' for in this fine metropolis. So it should come as no surprise that there's a staircase in East Midtown that leads straight to Bavaria. What does strike us? These steps lead to more than just an exploration by the plate – they pave the way for a day (or even just a lunch break) spent enjoying the pleasures of a spacious German biergarten — and it's all just a short climb up from 3rd Avenue. Foliage drapes a skylight in the center of the room, offering ample sunlight, while long picnic tables encourage group revelry and the kind of open-air mingling we love at outdoor beer gardens. Even on a rainy day, we imagine staring out at the Alps over a brew. Skyscrapers may stand in for mountains, but the authentic food and drink is a nod toward beloved Bavarian traditions.
For a quick lunch, we head straight for the lineup of bratwurst and other roasted, boiled or grilled versions of the popular sausage. The spot's signature wurst is a roasted pork and veal number served with Germanstyle potato salad, sauerkraut and a choice of sweet or spicy mustard. (Pro Tip: the Wurst Sampler offers a roundtrip flight of the Bratwurst, Käsekrainer, Chicken Bratwurst and Baurenwurst all in one go.) We're also big fans of Bierhaus' Bavarian spin on ye old sandwich and salad. The Pork Schnitzel Sandwich has a juicy edge over it's sliceddelimeat peers that'll keep this spot flashing on our midday radars. (Heck, lightly breaded and fried pork filets will do that to a person.) And the Bavarian Beef Salad is hardly a light affair with its rich mixture of thinly sliced beef, bell peppers and tomatoes paired with a boiled egg and potato salad. Pint-soaked happy hours and dinners inside the Bierhaus also necessitate a hearty foundation of food in our stomachs. Before polishing off a liter of Hofbrau, break bread with beerlovin' coworkers and friends over a Bierhaus Pretzel. Then, move on to conquer Sauerbraten, slowbraised beef marinated in wine and vinegar, and Roasted Hendl, an herbroasted halfchicken with homemade spätzle. Now, does Oktöberfest really only have to happen once a year? We think not.
Menu Highlights:
Bratwurst, $13
Bierhaus Pretzel, $4.50 regular / $9.50 large
Pork Schnitzel Sandwich, $13
Bavarian Beef Salad, $15
Jägerschnitzel, $20
Roasted Hendl, $16
Monday through Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Thursday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 4 a.m.
Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Sunday, 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Horse packing in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks is on hold because a San Francisco judge says the parks are violating the federal Wilderness Act.
The issue percolated for years before exploding last month, leaving packers one chance in May to forestall a ban that many say will cripple their industry.
Wednesday, Rep. Devin Nunes stoked the fire by blaming the Obama administration for caving to environmentalists and not pushing for a compromise.
Sequoia & Kings Canyon Superintendent Karen Taylor-Goodrich wrote in a March 12 letter to 16 pack stations that no permits would be issued until the matter is resolved in federal court.
More than two dozen other businesses that operate within the park are also affected. These include back-country trips booked through REI, Outward Bound or any other commercial guide services.
