Nikitin is chairperson of the Bellona Environmental Rights Center in St. Petersburg, Russia, which defends the rights of Russian citizens to unspoiled natural resources and reliable information. Until 1985 Nikitin was a Soviet naval captain who served as the chief engineer on nuclear-powered submarines. From 1987 to 1992, he worked as a senior inspector for the Department of Defense's Nuclear and Radiation Safety Inspection Department. He became a public figure in 1996 when he was arrested by the Russian security police and charged with high treason after contributing to a Bellona report on the risk of nuclear contamination from the Russian Northern Fleet. He was found not guilty by the Russian Supreme Court in 2000.
In response to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, countries such as Germany and Switzerland are preparing to phase out aging nuclear power plants. The Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom), however, is taking a very different approach. In 2001, Rosatom began extending the operation of nuclear power plants that had surpassed their projected life spans.

This invention relates to a machine for separating water from, or dewatering, aggregate soild substrates which contain significant amounts of water. The method has specific relevance to fossilized biomass materials such as peat and coal but also is applicable to other biomass substrates such as agricultural and forestry residues (bagasse, corn stover, sawdust, etc.), crops deliberately grown for their fuel or chemical valve, and sewage sludge. The present invention provides an energy efficient method for removing water from these materials prior to their ultimate use or interim conversion. Since the production of energy or fuel is generally the ultimate use for these substrates, an energy efficient dewatering process could be mandatory for those containing a relatively great amount of water.
It is quite likely that the invention concept will be applied to solid/liquid separations than those described above since nothing in the concept of plug flow contacting restricts its use to water or aqueous fluids. Because of the relatively great amount of energy required to evaporate water, compared for example, to hydrocarbons, dewatering processes benefit most by use of the invention rather than evaporative or other conventional separation methods.
Water laden materials can often be dewatered by compression, the applicability of which is dependent upon the solid structure of the material. The predominant effect of compressive loading on water laden substrates of the type considered here is compaction of the solid structure which reduces the void volume available to the water. Material with a rigid structure, such as a particulate mixture with a wide size distribution, is usually difficult to compress. Peat, for example, can be economically dewatered down only to about 75% moisture content by mechanical squeezing.
A commonly used method of dewatering material such as filter cakes is air displacement. This method is most applicable to materials with an open and uniform pore structure. Where there is a wide particle and hence pore size range, it is very difficult to displace water from the finer void spaces using air because of the tendency for bypassing through the larger channels.
Nonaqueous liquid displacement of water from a porous material has been used commercially only rarely and then with materials that have high value compared to the biomass and similar type substrates considered here. The main drawback to solvent dewatering is the high cost of solvent recovery and/or loss relative to the product. Our copending patent application, Organic Solid Substrate Dewatering Process Utilizing Primary and Secondary Solvents, Ser. No. 280,264, filed July 2, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,339,882, typifies interest in liquid dewatering brought about by the high energy cost of conventional dewatering methods.
Liquid extraction, which is the commonly used and well understood separation process most similar to dewatering by solvent displacement, occurs by bringing about contact between differing liquid phases (one possibly intermixed or associated with a solid) so that a redistribution of the components in the original phases will occur. Design of contacting devices for liquid extraction is based on the definition that an equilibrium distribution, the ultimate product of perfectly intimate contacting, will be achieved from a single perfect contacting stage, (see for example, Treybal, Mass Transfer Operations, Ch. 10--Liquid Extraction). It is well known, however, that for packed columns, such as are commonly used in chromatographic equipment, much better separation can be achieved than would be expected if one assumed the column to be a single equilibrium stage. This is explained in chromatographic theory by showing that the moving zone of contact does not reach equilibrium in the sense generally used in chemical engineering unit operations. This invention demonstrates that a similar phenomena can be used in a liquid displacement dewatering process, especially when used in combination with an energy efficient liquid separation method.
In our copending patent application, Organic Solid Substrate Dewatering Process Based on Plug Flow Contact by an Extractive Fluid, Ser. No. 327,610, filed Dec. 4, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,397,100 we disclosed the advantages which are achieved in the dewatering of organic solid substrates by contact with an extractive fluid when the organic solid substrate phase and the extractive fluid phase are both kept in plug flow during contact therebetween. It was disclosed there that a displacement of the water originally present in the substrate can be achieved such that a substantial fraction of the displaced water will be of relatively high purity, thereby reducing the quantity of the extractive fluid which is necessary, which, of course, reduces equipment costs and extractive fluid/water separation costs. The present invention relates to an improved apparatus which utilizes the plug flow concept disclosed in the above-mentioned patent application.
The present invention relates to an apparatus for dewatering aggregate solid substrates. The apparatus is comprised of a frame, two movable permeable belts, means mounted on the frame for guiding the movement of the belts, roller means mounted on the frame for positioning the belts such that the substrate is guided and compressed between them, means for contacting the substrate with a displacement fluid while it is compressed between the belts such that the fluid collects between the top belt and the roller means before permeating through the top belt and contacting the substrate, means for removing relatively pure water which is expressed by the fluid through the bottom belt, means for further compressing the substrate to remove excess displacement fluid, and means for removing the dewatered substrate from the apparatus. In a preferred embodiment, the means for contacting the substrate with the displacement fluid is comprised of a pair of circular flanges mounted on each end of the roller means and a perforated displacement fluid feed pipe mounted on the frame and positioned above the belts so that displacement fluid flowing through the perforated pipe flows out of the perforations and collects on the top belt between the roller means and the flanges which form a liquid seal. In another preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes means mounted on the frame for collecting both the relatively pure water stream and the excess displacement fluid stream.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the apparatus of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a partial view of the apparatus illustrating the means for contacting the substrate with the displacement fluid wherein the fluid collects between the roller means and the permeable belts before permeating therethrough to contact the substrate.
The present invention relates to an energy and cost efficient apparatus of removing water from aggregate solid substrates, especially peat, coal, and biomass materials. These solids commonly have a high moisture content which must be reduced before they can be effeciently used as a fuel source, a chemical source, or disposed of, as the case may be. The apparatus is also useful for removing other liquids from aggregate solid substrates.
In the apparatus of this invention, the solid is first contacted with a nonaqueous displacement fluid which removes at least a large portion, if not all, of the water contained in the substrate. Experimentation has revealed to us that by keeping both nonaqueous displacement fluid and solid in plug flow a separation of the water and solid can be achieved wherein a major portion of the water is unmixed with the displacement fluid despite the fact that the water and fluid are necessarily (for success of the method) miscible. Our concurrently filed commonly assigned copending application entitled "Method for Dewatering Organic Solid Substrates by Miscible Liquid Displacement" filed April 11, 1983, describes and claims a method for dewatering organic solid substrates. The machine of the present invention can be used to carry out that method.
By plug flow we mean that elements of a moving phase move at the same velocity through a particular space and, therefore, elements of different residence time in a contact zone are not mixed. The simplest way to obtain dual plug flow contact between two phases is to keep one phase stationary and drive the other through it at sufficient velocity that momentum in the flow direction greatly exceeds the turbulence generating forces that would tend to promote mixing of fluid elements at different distances in the flow direction, so-called axial mixing for cylindrical geometry. When the stationary phase is solid and the fluid phase is of low viscosity, such as in chromatographic columns commonly used for chemical analyses, the condition can be achieved most easily since the solid will not be moved or dispersed at flow velocities sufficiently great so as to preclude significant axial mixing.
Our experiments have shown that for certain substrates, such as peat, water can be removed by chromatographic-type displacement using a relatively low flow rate of watermiscible solvents. A large amount of water can be removed by fluid drainage through vertical, cylindrical columns packed with the substrate, which is stationary. A continuous process, which is desirable for commercial dewatering, would move both substrate and solvent moving in plug flow through a contacting zone thereby producing the essential conditions for dewatering by this method.
FIG. 1 shows that the dewatering apparatus 10 is comprised of a frame 12, permeable belts 14 and 16, flanged roller 18, and perforated displacement fluid feed or delivery pipe 20. Flanged roller 18 and perforated pipe 20 are mounted on the frame 12.
Belt 14 is guided around guide rollers 22, 24, 26 and 28 so that it moves to flanged roller 18. Belt 16 is guided around guide rollers 30 and 32 before it also moves to flanged roller 18 which is rotating in the counterclockwise direction. The small arrows indicate the direction of motion of the belts 14 and 16.
The substrate is deposited on the upper surface of belt 16 and thus guided, as shown by the large arrow, between the belts 14 and 16. The substrate is compressed as the belts 14 and 16 are guided around the flanged roller 18. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that as the belts 14 and 16 are guided around the flanged roller 18, displacement fluid from the feed pipe 20 collects on top of the belts between the flanged roller 18 and the flanges 34. A liquid seal is formed by belt 14, roller 18, and the flanges 34. The displacement fluid will permeate through the belt inner 16 and then through the substrate. The speed of the belts 14 and 16 is adjusted so that the water is displaced through the outer belt 14 while it is located over the collecting tub 38. Water is expressed partly by the action of the compression of the belts 14 and 16 but mainly by displacement of the infiltrating, miscible displacement fluid. The water then falls into collection tub 38 which is mounted on frame 12. The water can be removed from the tub 38 through drain 40. Vacuum box 36 (see FIG. 2), the use of which is optional, increases the driving force of the fluids through the belts 14 and 16 and the substrate. When a vacuum box is used, the water flows into the box and then to a vacuum pump suitably plumbed to discharge the water as desired. The water collected in the tub 38 or vacuum box 36 is relatively pure as long as plug flow contact is maintained between the displacement fluid and the substrate and the belt speed is sufficiently fast so that the substrate is moved on to the following series of rollers before the displacement fluid reaches the outer belt 14.
The belts 14 and 16 containing the compressed substrate therebetween are then guided around compression rollers 42, 44 and 46 which are also mounted on the frame 12. The action of the compression rollers 42, 44 and 46 is such that excess displacement fluid is compressed out of the substrate through the belt 14 and into the vacuum box 48, or in the absence of a vacuum box, falls into the displacement fluid collection tub 50 which is mounted on the frame 12 and has a drain 52 for removal of the displacement fluid therefrom.
After they pass around the compression rollers 42, 44 and 46, the belts 14 and 16 separate. The substrate is removed from the apparatus 10 as shown by the large arrow. A substantial amount of the water originally contained in the substrate has been removed and it contains only a relatively small amount of the displacement fluid which can be removed by any convenient method such as evaporation or pressing.
The displacement fluid may be any liquid compound, preferably an organic compound, which is miscible with water, and will not dissolve the solid substrate from which the water is being removed. The following compounds are suitable for extracting water from solid substrates including peat and sewage sludge. The list is representative and many compounds by way of substituent additives or isomeric variation are also suitable. Expensive, corrosive, or foul-smelling compounds have not been included even though some of them might be usable with appropriately modified extractor designs.
Alcohols are especially suitable for use as the primary solvent in the present invention. Monohydroxy, C1 to C20, dihydroxy C2 to C5 including glycols such as ethyl glycol and propylene gylcol, and trihydroxy C3 to C5 are all suitable compounds. Generally, as the chain length is increased, more hydroxy or other polar substituent groups are required to achieve miscibility with water. Ketones are also suitable for use as the displacement fluid. Various C2 to C4 ketones such as acetone, diacetone, alcohol, and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone are examples of such compounds. Aldehydes can also be used. C2 to C4 aldehydes such as 3-hydroxybutanol and 1-amino-butanol are suitable. Straight chain and ring compound ethers are suitable as the primary solvent also. C4 to C8 ethers such as dioxane, dioxolane, morpholine, diethylene monobutyl ether, 1-hydroxylacetone, dimethyloxazole, butyrolacetone, valerolacetone, and pentenoic acid 4-hydroxylacetone are suitable examples. Caryboxylic acids, especially C1 and C7 acids such as formic and acetoacetic acids can be used. Straight, ring and multiple ring amine compounds can be usedbecause of the polar nature of nitrogen. The preferred amines are C2 to C5 such as benzylamine N-acetylethanolamine, t-butyl amine, diethylenetriamine, allylmethylamine, ketine, 3-methylpyrazole, diazine and pyrrolidine. There are a large number of amides which can be used because the polar nature of the nitrogen and oxygen atoms permit compounds with a larger molecular size to maintain water miscibility. Amides containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms are particularly suitable, for example, 2, 4-dinitroacetanilide and N, N-dimethylpentenoic acid amide. A wide variety of carboxylic acid esters can also be used. They follow the same pattern as that of the amides. Examples of such compounds are ethylglycinate, tetrahydrofurfuryl acetic acid ester and carbitol acetate. In addition to the above, there are a small number of compounds which are not represented by a substantial class. Examples are acetonitrile, various imines, azirane and azetidine. It should be noted that the preferred solvents for use in the present invention are methanol, ethanol and propanol because of their low cost and availability.
For best results in the contacting of the solid substrate with the displacement fluid, the mass ratio of the displacement fluid to water should be 1:1.5 to 3:1. If the ratio is less than 1:1.5, then insufficient water will be removed for most conversion processing and a ratio of more than 3:1 is not necessary because an excessive amount of mixture separation and displacement fluid recirculation will be necessary.
The rate of fluid displacement and the dewatering rate are controlled by only four general factors:
(1) the resistance to fluid flow of the mass through which the fluid travels (the substrate and the permeable belts),
(2) the pressure difference across the belts,
(3) the cross-sectional area through which fluid flow occurs, and
(4) the viscosity of the fluid.
Once the apparatus has been constructed and the solid substrate and displacement fluid chosen, all of these factors are constant. The means through which plug flow contact between the substrate and the displacement fluid is maintained is maintaining sufficient displacement fluid pressure and flow resistance of the mass through which the fluid moves.
Consequently, the appropriate speed of operation consistent with plug flow is strongly dependent upon the permeability of the solid substrate in its compressed state and also upon the permeability of the permeable belts. Thus, the ideal or appropriate speed of operation is best determined for a particular substrate (or even for individual lots of the same substrate because the permeability will very likely vary substantially) by running a trial of the method on the disclosed apparatus or some other apparatus utilizing the method. If the speed of operation is too fast, it will be obvious because the water will be expressed downstream of the collecting tub 38 and the fluid collected in tub 50 will contain water in excess of the low concentration desired. If the speed of operation is too slow, then the purity of the water will drop significantly because of displacement fluid penetration through the outer belt 14 before passing roller 42.
The permeable belts can be made of any of the materials typically used on fourdrinier paper machines, such as polyester, nylon, brass, or steel, just to name a few. The weave and material of construction are selected based on substrate and displacement fluid compatability. The weave should be one that does not become mechanically attached to the substrate during the initial compaction between belts 14 and 16. Consequently, designs (weaves) that minimize flexing of the wires of which the belts are comprised and whose openings are not of a size and shape close to that of the substrate's component particles are preferred. For example, peat, which has a high fibrous particle content, would be dewatered most effectively using belts that do not have narrow openings whereas coal slimes or slurries containing mostly bodies of a roughly spherical shape would have less likelihood of adhering to a slotted belt than one with openings congruent with typical constituent particles. Belt blocking is not only a problem from the standpoint of separating the dewatered substrate from the belts but could also impair uniform flow of the fluids in the vicinity of the blockage during the dewatering and displacement fluid drainage steps.
If a metal belt material is chosen, it should not be sensitive to corrosion by either the displaced water (which might, for instance, in the case of peat, contain dissolved humic acids) or the displacement fluid. Polymeric belt materials should be selected on the basis of ability to withstand to compressive stresses which will be needed to obtain compaction of the substrate as well as absence of susceptibility to crazing or swelling as a result of contact with the fluids involved. Generally, the susceptibility can best be established using standard immersion tests.
Sources of information on the permeability of the belts are the belt manufacturers and published reviews such as "Fluid Flow Through Woven Screens" by J. Armour, et al, AICHE Journal Vol. 14, No. 3, p. 415-20 and "Hydraulic Behavior of Synthetic Non-Woven Filter Fabrics" by A. L. Rollin, et al., Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Vol. 60, p. 226-34.
The permeability of these belts should be in the range of 20 to 200 darcies (1 cubic centimeter per second flow of the fluid with a 1 centipoise viscosity through 1 centimeter of material with a 1 square centimeter cross-sectional area under a 1 atmosphere pressure differential). Laboratory methods of measuring the permeability of the compacted substrate could consist of filling class columns with substrate, compacting it mechanically and draining displacement fluid through the column with or without air pressure above the fluid head, as discussed in our copending patent application Organic Solid Substrate Dewatering Process Based on Plug Flow Contact by an Extractive Fluid, Ser. No. 327,610.
Interpretation of such results, for the purpose of application to a machine of this invention, can be complicated since unavoidably the density and hence the permeability of compacted columns vary along the column. As an example, columns of shredded peat indicate a variation:
Δv/VO ≐2/3e-0.2x
x is the distance in centimeters from the pressed surface, and
ΔV is the change in volume of a layer of initial volume V.
We recommend that columns of several thicknesses be tested and the determined permeability from these tests be used to extropolate a value for the substrate thickness for continuous dewatering as herein discussed. This is necessary because usually a substrate thickness as low as appropriate for continuous dewatering cannot be conveniently tested in a column because of its low permeability. For accurate measurements the ideal method is to use a laboratory scale version of the machine discussed here and in the copending application.
The dewatering rate of the apparatus can be increased by varying two parameters. First, the contact zone cross-sectional area can be increased by increasing the width of the machine. Second, the displacement fluid pressure can be increased. It is proportional to the height of the displacement fluid pool above the belts which will normally be as large as the flanges and the diameter of the flanged roller will allow. Ultimately, the pool height will be limited by the size of the flanged roller which would be excessively expensive if greater than a few feet.
An alternate means of increasing the effective displacement pressure is to mount vacuum boxes below the first drum which seal against the bottom surface of the outer belt. By such means, production rates as much as 200 times that described in the following example can be obtained. For even greater production rates without enlarging the machine's dimensions, pneumatic pressure could be applied above the displacement fluid pool. This would be a relatively expensive modification since the pool would have to be enclosed in a presure-tight vessel which was sealed against the belt edges.
The apparatus of the present invention is used to dewater compacted peat with a permeability of 25 darcies. This level of permeability provides sufficient flow resistance to produce the desired plug-like uniform displacement of water by the displacement fluid, which in this example is methanol. 2.6 pounds per minute of granular, 75% moisture--95% by volume air and/or moisture peat is fed into the apparatus so as to be disposed in a uniform 1/4 inch thick layer between the moving belts. The peat has a density of about 0.80 grams per cubic centimeter. A displacement fluid height equivalent to 1 inch of water is used in the displacement fluid collection area to drive the displacement of the water by the methanol. The belt speed is 5 inches per minute. Water containing 5% displacement fluid is collected and the water content of the peat is reduced to 10% moisture.

The Beatles Rock Band
(PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 )
All You Need Is LoveBy Kane Roderique-Walker Score:
Oct 26, 2009 11:04AM PST
'Lovingly crafted' is sadly not a phrase associated with many games these days. This is because the gaming industry is driven by an incredible thirst for profit. Not innovation, not quality, just cold hard cash. The games themselves reflect this, as for the most part, games produced are rushed, opportunistic, money-grabbing disasters. In recent years the rhythm genre has become one of the worst offenders, with Activision pumping out stale Guitar Hero sequels and spin off's year after year. This is why it's so refreshing to come across a game like The Beatles: Rock Band, which is thankfully about the music rather than the money. Obviously there is profit to be made, but the level of care, attention and sheer reverence poured into this title is down right startling in the current landscape of gaming.
It's evident from the off that Harmonix has created a gaming experience that focuses entirely on The Beatles and their music. Unlike band specific titles from the 'other leading brand', there is no filler here. It's all Beatles, all the time. Just the way it should be. Some might argue that a track list consisting of all Beatles songs might alienate those who wouldn't consider themselves Beatles fans, and for some this may well be the case. But what this game does is introduce a whole new generation to their music, gamers and non-gamers alike. The party and social gaming aspects of this genre mean that the appeal is broad enough to draw in - through word of mouth, the Beatles name, and the fact that it's a Rock Band title – a huge audience. I am a prime example, I had never seen the appeal of The Beatles, but to be fair, I had also never really given them a chance. This game has brought their music into my world in a fun and engaging way. In the same way Guitar Hero and Rock Band have expanded my musical horizons in the past, The Beatles: Rock Band has done the same only in a much more specific way. I'm sure my experience will be similar to a huge number of the people who buy the game. The rest are clearly fans so will enjoy it either way.
The games structure is much more similar to early Guitar Hero titles, than past Rock Band experiences. World Tour mode is nowhere to be found. You're given a list of songs, and you have to play through all of them. The game aims to chart the entire Beatles career, so songs are divided into different events, representing different periods in the Beatles lifetime. You start off playing iconic gigs like 'The Cavern Club' and the 'Ed Sullivan show', and work your way through each of the bands milestones until the final show on the 'Apple Corps.' rooftop. As you progress through the story, the song selections do a great job of showing the development and changes the band went through, both in terms of their sound and their looks. From a player perspective this is incredibly rewarding, you really begin to know and relate to them more. In addition to this there are a number of unlockable bonuses like photographs and video clips offering insight and anecdotes, further demonstrating the care and attention to detail put into the game, and generally boosting the appreciation that the overall experience encourages.
The games 'lovingly crafted' quality transfers over to the presentation to. The user interface utilizes simple shapes and colours to create a pleasing, more minimalist feel, whilst still encapsulating the themes and feel of the games definitive visual style. The note highway has seen some renovation since Rock Band 2. The colour palette is much brighter, with more pastel shades and a more varied range of hues. The Beatles, although not quite unrealistic are stylized caricatures of themselves. Their movements and facial gestures, drawn from their real life counterparts, give them a sense of character and personality that most music game avatars lack. Each location is also charmingly rendered, screaming crowd and all. Although once you get to the years in which the band stopped touring and did all their recording at 'Abbey Road', you are treated to 'Dreamscapes', acid-trippy visual free-for-alls. Each is song specific, and as you can imagine, the more abstract and drug-fueled tracks produce the most, shall we say 'creative', experiences.
Everything about this game screams quality, time, love and passion. The four things missing from most games, it's the way games should be made. I hope that other developers and publishers and look at this game and take on board what Harmonix has achieved. It's an incredible title, exactly what the industry needed to refresh a sinking genre, and demonstrate how to save it. Only once you've played it can you can truly appreciate the magic that is, The Beatles: Rock Band.

These are yummy! I had to add a little bit more flour than stated to get the flour consistency correct. I also had no fast rising yeast so I just used bread machine yeast. I made two batches, one batch in a pyrex dish and one batch on a pizza stone. Both were good but I preferred the ones that were baked in pyrex because they were nice and soft. I also cut some of the dough into breadsticks and they were great too. Thanks for the wonderful recipe I will definitely be making it again.
Very good!!! A dough recipy that is easy, and actually rises!!!
I never write reviews, but these buns were sooo good, I had to. Thank you hotmomma! I agree with previous reviewer, the possibilites are endless

George Ruyle Honored as Ag-100 Council's 2010 Faculty Member of the Year
Extension range specialist George Ruyle, professor and chair of the Rangeland and Forest Resources program in the University of Arizona School of Natural Resources and the Environment, has been named the Arizona Agriculture "100" Council's 2010 Faculty Member of the Year.
The annual award recognizes faculty in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) who are leaders in their field and who demonstrate consistent excellence in professional endeavors in service to the agriculture community, along with an outstanding work ethic.
During his 27-year tenure at the UA, Ruyle has served as educator and scientific advisor to Arizona ranching and range communities, using a hands-on approach to demonstrating knowledge tested in real world situations.
He is a certified professional in range management and a Fellow of the Society for Range Management, where he has held numerous offices, including president of the Arizona section and chair of the Rangeland Assessment and Monitoring Committee. Additionally, he has served on the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Rangeland Classification, which published the National Academy Press book "Rangeland Health."
"George is extremely effective in his work," says Gene Sander, CALS dean. "His professional expertise is outstanding, and he builds very strong relationships across the board. He is one of the most respected authorities in range management in the Southwest."
Rangelands, including mainly grasslands, shrublands and savannas, but also some forests and woodlands, comprise about 75 percent of Arizona's land, according to Ruyle. He notes that rangeland serves multiple, sometimes competing uses, including "wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, recreation, open space, scenic beauty, watershed, natural uses and now even uses like storing carbon."
Only about 12 percent of Arizona's land is privately held, with the remainder about equal parts state trust land, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Indian lands. Thus managing rangeland involves balancing conservation and production goals while taking into account the various groups involved.
"As an extension specialist, outreach is my primary responsibility—working with individuals and local communities, usually through the county Cooperative Extension office and in collaboration with state and federal agencies," Ruyle says. "I view my role somewhere between practitioner and scholar, providing a theoretical framework for both the ecological and social aspects of range livestock production."
The Arizona Agriculture "100" Council, an organization of Arizona agribusiness and agricultural production leaders who support CALS, presented its award to Ruyle at its spring meeting in Tucson on March 26. Also known as "Ag-100 Council," the group was created in 1990 by Bartley P.Cardon, agriculture dean emeritus.

Robert Millikan received a Nobel Prize for determining the charge on the electron. To do this
he set up a potential difference between two horizontal parallel metal plates. He then
sprayed a drops of oil between the plates and adjusted the potential difference until drops
of a certain size remained suspended at rest between the plates. Suppose that when thepotential difference between the plates is adjusted until the electric field is 10,000 N/C
downward, a certain drop with a mass of 3.27 x 10^-16 kg remains suspended.
a.what is the magnitude of the charge on this drop?
b. Th electric field is downward, but the electric force on thedrop is upward. explain why.
c. if the distance between the plates is 0.01 m , what is thepotential difference between the plates?
d. The oil in the drop slowly evaporates while the drop is beingobserved, but the charge on the frop remains the same. Indicatewhether the drop remains at rest, moves upward, or moves downward.explain.

No more gray areas here: Fifty Shades of Grey has apparently found its new leading man.
Actor Jamie Dornan has reportedly been tapped to replace Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey in the upcoming movie version of the erotic literary series, beating out such rumored contenders as Broadway star Billy Magnussen and The Borgias actor Francois Arnaud.
So who, exactly, is the dashing star who'll be filling in Christian Grey's big, um, persona? Here's what you need to know about Jamie Dornan.
He Looks Good Naked: The 31-year-old Northern Irishman is a former Calvin Klein model, having made a splash posing in nothing but skivvies for the brand's skin-tastic underwear campaign.
Sorry, Folks: He's Off the Market: Dornan is married to actress Amelia Warner – Colin Farrell's ex-wife – and the couple are expecting their first child together.
He Smolders in Any Era: Yes, the guy is also pretty dashing when he's all covered up – Dornan starred in Sofia Coppola's rocked-out period drama Marie Antoinette.
(Screen) Size Doesn't Matter to Him: The actor can take on both the big and small screens. U.S. audiences know him from his role as Sheriff Graham on ABC's Once Upon a Time, while, in the U.K., played a serial killer on the BBC TV series The Fall.
He's Got a Musical Side: The actor apparently knows how to light up a stage as well. He reportedly played with a band called Sons of Jim, which disbanded in 2008.

Last Modified: Thursday, June 19, 2008 at 11:37 a.m.
HOUMA -- The prosecutor called it a tale of "lost innocence" and "a story of dysfunction."
Prefacing the first day of testimony Wednesday in the trial of a 62-year-old Dulac man accused of repeatedly raping and sexually abusing a young girl who lived at his house for about six years, a defense lawyer countered that the accusations are outright "lies."
Albert Norman Pierre Sr., of Shrimpers Row, faces one count of aggravated rape of a child under the age of 13 and one count of molestation of a juvenile. Pierre was arrested Dec. 5 by Terrebonne Sheriffs detectives following allegations reported to the Sheriffs Office in 2006.
He is standing trial this week in District Judge Randy Bethancourts courtroom.
If convicted, he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
Assistant District Attorney Mark Rhodes, who is prosecuting the case, called Pierre "a child molester" who repeatedly raped the girl, now 14, while she was between the ages of 6 and 12.
"You dont get put in that chair, you earn that spot."
In a terse opening statement that took less than a minute, Houma attorney Craig Stewart said the allegations made against Pierre are false.
"Its a bad thing that were here for," Stewart told the jurors in response to the graphic accounts of the abuse described by Rhodes. "But you have to realize -- it never happened."
The Courier has withheld the name of the alleged victim and the names of any relatives who testified because of the nature of the accusations.
The child of a drug addict and convicted sex offender, the alleged victim lived with her paternal great aunt from a few weeks after her birth to when she was between the age of 6 or 7. At that point, she was handed over to her paternal grandmother, Pierres live-in girlfriend. The couple lived in a Dulac home Rhodes called a "hellhole."
Pierres home was just one of several settings, including boats tucked away in secluded spots and Pierres pickup truck, were the sexual abuse is alleged to have taken place.
The alleged victim, now 14, told the jury Pierre would force himself on her while she slept in the same bed he shared with the girls grandmother. The older woman, who complained of back problems, occasionally slept on the coach.
"I would wake up in the middle of the night sometimes, and he would be on top of me," she said.
The victims half-sister, who often visited the house, said when she was 13 Pierre offered to get her a "goody bag" that contained condoms and lubricant.
As further evidence of "lustful disposition" towards young girls, the sister said Pierre made the girls pick out short shorts at Wal-Mart, rather than the basketball shorts the girls wanted.
Terrebonne Sheriffs Detective Lt. Cher Pitre, who interviewed the alleged victim, said the girls account of the abuse was detailed, included references to specific locations and was consistent throughout.
The girl said she was previously ashamed of the abuse and didnt report it because she was afraid, she said. On the stand Wednesday, she vigorously defended her version of events.
"Because its true," she said. "I swear. Im 100 percent positive its true."
A poor student, rebellious and combative, the girl made three suicide attempts, including once at school when she tried to cut her wrists, according to her great aunt.
"This nightmare didnt end," Rhodes said. "This nightmares still going on."
Since leaving the house, however, the girls grades and attitude towards school have improved drastically, the aunt testified.
The girls family members called by Rhodes testified Pierre also displayed unsettling possessiveness when it came to the girl, especially when she visited her father, a registered sex offender, his wife and children.
"Norman always had to know where (she) was at every minute," said the girls stepmother, who is married to the alleged victims father.
An angry call from Pierre precipitated the girls disclosure of the alleged abuse, the stepmother testified. The call upset the girl, and she allegedly told Norman, "You dont want me say what you been doing," according to the stepmother. The alleged victim then sat outside the house and cried, telling her little brother "Normans been doing her things," the stepmother said.
Stewart and his co-counsel, Damon Brown, portrayed the behavior as understandable protectiveness given the girls fathers past. In cross-examinations, they pressed for details on past lies told to family members by the girl, including a trip to the skating rink when she was supposed to be at a friends house.
The trial continues today, when the prosecutions case is expected to conclude, and the defense is scheduled to call witnesses.

Ngarewa Bachop (3) finishes her popcorn beneath new street
art in a Moray Pl, Dunedin, driveway opposite Rialto by the
London-based street artist Phlegm.
The artwork was completed on Tuesday.
Dunedin City Council communications and marketing manager
Graham McKerracher said it was good to see more art ''spread
around Dunedin''.
Asked what he thought of it, he said ''it looks like an
insect. It's not one you have to scratch your head about, and
start seeing different images in it''.
The artist arrived in Dunedin last Saturday, and will leave
the city on Sunday.

Jackson Pollock, One: Number 31 (1950)
From a distance, the surface of the first painting displayed in the Museum of Modern Art's exhibit on Abstract Expressionism [1] seems like an intricate and confusing web. On closer inspection, however, an extraordinary clarity is evident, and the beauty and complexity of the poured and dripped paint hits the viewer with full force. Lines of silver, white, and black crisscross each other as tiny fragments of red, yellow, and blue appear throughout, above and below the rhythmic lines; the handprints in purple and red—on the upper right, the lower left—seem to extend the raw canvas beyond the confines of its physical shape. The entire painting, Jackson Pollock's Number 1A, 1948, is a visual syncopation comparable to an ecstatic Gregorian chant or a solo by John Coltrane. It is one of the many extraordinary pictures in "Abstract Expressionist New York" (on view at MoMA through April 25), an exhibition that extends over three floors and consists of hundreds of paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photographs. All the work is drawn from the museum's extraordinary permanent collection.
The term "abstract expressionism" was first used...

@MISC{Bouaud95methodologicalprinciples, author = {J. Bouaud and B. Bachimont and J. Charlet and P. Zweigenbaum}, title = {Methodological Principles for Structuring an "Ontology"}, year = {1995}}
The knowledge used in most AI applications does not rely on a formal model of the domain. Therefore, it has to be normalized to ensure that the formal exploitation of its representation conforms to its meaning in the domain. Considering the intensional (non extensional) nature of concepts, which reflects the essences of the objects they denote, this normalization relies on a commitment on type definitions by necessary and sufficient conditions at the knowledge level. Our claim is that the taxonomic structure that accounts for the intensional nature of the ontology can be nothing but a tree. From this starting point, we derive methodological principles to constrain and justify the structuring of ontological types. Based on this methodology, we advocate understandability of an ontology rather than a putative reusability. 1 Introduction The ontology is the heart of any knowledge description: knowledge is intimately related to the ontology, since it is necessarily expre...

The 84-year-old entertainer was convicted of 12 counts of
indecent assault against four girls, one of whom was as young
as seven or eight.
He is likely to be jailed at his sentencing on Friday.
"I feel gutted and dismayed but it's very important that we
do everything we humanly can to protect vulnerable young
people," Mr Abbott told ABC radio.
The assaults took place in the UK between 1968 and 1986.
The main complainant was a childhood friend of Harris's
daughter Bindi.
Harris was also found guilty of assaulting Australian woman
Tonya Lee at a London pub in 1986 when she was 15.
"Sexual abuse is an utterly abhorrent crime," Mr Abbott said.
"It's just sad and tragic that this person who was admired
seems to have been a perpetrator."
