Study finds overweight teens who are satisfied with their bodies are less depressed, less prone to unhealthy behaviors
Big Girls Don't Cry
A study to be published in the June 2012 issue of Journal of Adolescent Health looking at the relationships between body satisfaction and healthy psychological functioning in overweight adolescents has found that young women who are happy with the size and shape of their bodies report higher levels of self-esteem. They may also be protected against the negative behavioral and psychological factors sometimes associated with being overweight.
A group of 103 overweight adolescents were surveyed between 2004 and 2006, assessing body satisfaction, weight-control behavior, importance placed on thinness, self-esteem and symptoms of anxiety and depression, among other factors.
"We found that girls with high body satisfaction had a lower likelihood of unhealthy weight-control behaviors like fasting, skipping meals or vomiting," said Kerri Boutelle, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. Boutelle added that the positive relationship shown in this study between body a girl's happiness with her body and her behavioral and psychological well-being suggests that improving body satisfaction could be a key component of interventions for overweight youth.
"A focus on enhancing self-image while providing motivation and skills to engage in effect weight-control behaviors may help protect young girls from feelings of depression, anxiety or anger sometimes association with being overweight," said Boutelle.
Additional contributors included first author Taya R. Cromley, PhD, of UCLA; Stephanie Knatz and Roxanne Rockwell, UC San Diego; and Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, PhD, MPH, RD and Mary Story, PhD, RD, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

Cybercops close to domain conduct deal
Law enforcement agencies and domain name registrars are nearing agreement on ways to start to clean up the domain name industry and mutually help prevent cybercrime. Here in Singapore, at ICANN's 41st international public meeting, registrars have held a series of meetings this week with police and governmental representatives, …
Hey coppers and feds, you crack down on the spammers and other scumbags reaping the info, then I'll put my correct details in my WHOIS entry, until then fuck off!
same ole same ole
The best they can hope to do is keep honest people honest by browbeating them senseless. The crooks, spammers, neer-do-wells and scufflaws? Sheeeit, they ain't worried. Meanwhile I have to check up on my Russian bride... she'd being held at a checkpoint, en route to my loving arms, and I have to send some more money to bride the guards. There's some Nigerian dude who is to show up at my front door and I'm to pay him. Gotta run...
name and shame the registrars?
What about a blacklist of registrars who don't operate a good code of practise and tag any domains registerd by them as suspect so security software can block them. That way only the criminals will register there, tough on the innocent but they'll either bring pressure or move.
How about...
...stopping the registrars from publishing the home address of everyone who buys a domain via WHOIS unless you pay a fee to obscure it?
Simpler and cheaper to just lie glibly on the form in the first place. Plus if the data isn't out there in the first place, it won't escape.

To view Ana Martha's paper "Chicago Heights, IL: Community Profile" click here. The paper was produced for the required core course UPP 502.
What is your academic and work background? What did you do before enrolling in the MUPP program at UIC?
I got my Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Tamaulipas (Tamaulipas Institute of Higher Education), in Tampico, Mexico. At that time, I had been working for 2 years as an intern in an architecture and urban design firm. After graduation, I continued to work there for another 2 years, until I decided to pursue my Master's Degree in Urban Planning. After a long process, I got a Fulbright Scholarship and here I am.
What attracted you to planning and made you decide you
wanted to be a planner?
In college, I took a few courses in Urban Theory and Urban Design. In my practice, I have had the opportunity of working in several Urban Design projects. This fueled my eagerness to learn how to plan for cities and develop solutions for the complex problems they present.
Why did you want to study planning at UIC?
The program, the professors, its strong concentration in Economic Development and its location in one of the greatest cities of the world.
What are some of the highlights of your time as a student--classes, projects, internships, volunteer involvement?
My first semester was full of positive surprises. In the beginning, I was nervous about pursuing a graduate degree in a language that is not native to me, but I shared the classroom with a lot of other international students and that was very comforting. This was also great because I got to learn a lot about urban issues from all around the world.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
I see myself working in Mexico, in a planning consultancy firm, involved in Economic Development projects. There is a lot of potential for doing great things in my country. Also, I don't intend to leave architecture all together; after all, it is one of my greatest passions.

The SF Examiner
SAN FRANCISCO — BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey said Wednesday that he has ordered an internal review of how his department responded to an incident at a San Francisco station last month in which a man stripped naked and harassed people.
"If there were any procedural failings we will correct them, and if there were performance issues with our officers we will address them," Rainey said.
Yeiner Perez Garizabalo, 24, a trained acrobat, is charged with two felony counts of false imprisonment, four misdemeanor counts of battery on public transportation and one misdemeanor count of sexual battery for the May 10 incident. Rainey didn't specify what about the BART police response to the incident troubled him. He declined to say if his agency had filed an arrest report but said that will be one of the issues the internal probe will explore.

As explained here, it is a way to show disdain for an idea by saying it twice, except the 2nd time you impose 'Schm' as prefix or on top of the first consonant: Â
He sells on eBay now? eBay schmebay !
You hanging out on Facebook now? Facebook schmacebook !
(Often done to humorous effects, it enjoyed some rise of recognition along with the popularity of the Jerry Seinfeld show.)
I know of only 1 other language that has that same kind of expression; but in that, Vietnamese, it is the last diphthong, -iếc:
Nuôi chó nuôi chiếc ! : showing disdain for keeping pet dogs.
Du khách du khiếc ! : showing disdain for tourists.
All that is just to ask the obvious question: Â Are there many languages that have a similar pattern of usage?

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered how a previously unknown hormone serves as a messenger from fat cells to the liver and are investigating the potential of developing a new treatment ...
A newly identified signaling pathway that stimulates glucose uptake in brown fat cells might be useful for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, according to a study in The Journal of Cell Biology.

We have now owned the 2350 for a little over a year and have made several trips in it, two were over 1500 miles round trip. Occasionally, someone on this forum will report spoting another PC. Since we seldom see other PCs, I ask this question: does anyone have any idea how many PCs are out there? Has PC ever released to the public their production unit numbers? It is so seldom we spot a fellow traveler in a Phoenix Cruiser, I just wonder about these numbers.

The back end of our 2351 was an inch or so lower than the front end until I installed super spring leaf springs. Now the back end is a bit higher than the front end and the ride is noticeably smoother. Also the coach looks better with the rear end raised.
We had removed the air bags on our previous coach (Born Free 24rb) and replaced them with super springs to help with the jarring over bumps in the road.

We have the 2100 and did many of the after market corrections--air bags on rear axle, heavy duty shocks, sway bars, etc. and it greatly improved the handling and tail drag (due to rear water tank and holding tanks). Even if we couldn't improve the handling, with the shorter length we can travel many roads and park in many places that larger rigs cannot. For us, the trade off is worth it.

We have the 2100 and struggled with that. Covers for that length RV were not wide enough so went with the smallest we could that would fit. Our first cover was too big in length and height. Took a lot of creative nipping and tucking and still it drug on the ground and froze in snow melt (at 9,200 in the Rockies) doing damage when we wanted it out in April. We were also concerned about potential damage from rubbing in the high winds. That did not happen and we were able to mend the damage and use it a few more winters. This fall (2014) we purchased one for a 22 foot travel trailer from Camping World ($296 total). Seems very well made and fits like a glove with the use of one additional tie above the windshield/below the bull nose and we were good to go. Problem with a stock motorhome cover on a PC is our units are narrower and shorter in height than most motorhomes. Whereas the travel trailer is closer to our height and width. Won't know the whole story until we go to remove the cover but at this moment am very happy.

We just traded up from a 2100 to a 2552. Ride and handling of the 2552 is vastly superior. The only driving adjustment has been wider turns, I just check the side mirrors on turns and am able to stay between the lines with no problem. Towing a midsize car on a dolly was no problem either, normally I do not tow. Drive one, I think you will be a believer. 2travelI believe you.
The 2100 has the worst wheel base to length ratio and has the fresh water tank over the rear bumper too, so it is going to handle the worst of all models. With that said, something can be done about it through aftermarket suspension upgrades like we did with our 2007 2350. Model 2350 is not as extreme as the 2100 but still needs a little help.....at least ours did back in 2007. The current E350/E450 chassis 2008-2014 is better.

Call Phoenix. They may have a source for a custom-fit cover. Custom covers fit right to prevent wind damage to the RV's finish from flapping cover material. Water runs off better, and some even have a zippered opening for the main entry door. That allows you to get inside with the cover otherwise undisturbed.

This past weekend in preparation for our next trip I extended the slide to do some lubricating and noticed the metal strip on the bottom of the coach opening where it meets the bottom of the slide had a fair amount of rust on it.
Should clean up with a light sanding and some touch up paint when and if we find warmer weather

We are looking for a RV Cover, but have not found one that is 28 foot and wide enough for our RV. Does anyone have suggestions of where to locate one that will fit the 28 foot 2552?
Would appreciate your suggestions? Names of manufacturers or sources. It's cold already so we would love to find one quickly.
If you haven't been able to find a cover, what other methods or adaptations have you used to cover.
Calmark with make a custom cover, but it's expensive and would not be ready for 2 months.

'Hawkeye' sign-language issue inspired by Utah teen
Hawkeye #19 featured the Marvel hero during his period of hearing loss, which writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja used as an opportunity to tell a story through American Sign Language. The issue's title page included the dedication "For Leah," and as it turns out, "Leah" is 17-year-old Utah resident Leah Coleman, KSL.com reports.
Her mother Rachel Coleman worked with Fraction on the issue. The two met through a concert held by Rachel Coleman's Signing Time television series in 2012, when Fraction related how much he loved ASL due to its visual nature. He later contacted her for assistance in bringing ASL to Hawkeye #19.
Howard the Duck gets POP! vinyl bobblehead
In the wake of Funko's adorable "Dancing Groot" POP! vinyl bobblehead toy, inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy, another somewhat obscure Marvel character is about to get a POP! treatment of his own. As revealed this afternoon on Twitter by Marvel's Ryan Penagos, Howard the Duck will make his POP! vinyl debut later this year. While the release date isn't available, it's likely Funko will reveals details later this week, along with more information on Dancing Groot.
Warner Bros. debuts 'Teen Titans Go!' oversized Comic-Con Bag [Updated]
The massive Comic-Con International bags are back, and Warner Bros. has provided Robot 6 with an exclusive first look at the Teen Titans Go! bag fans can get at this year's show in San Diego. The bag features Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven in their chibi-style animated incarnations.
Marvel-designed Brooklyn Nets mascot won't return next season
Bad news for fans of the BrooklyKnight: Grantland reports the Brooklyn Nets mascot won't return next season, and is likely headed for mascot limbo. "We put a lot of effort into the BrooklyKnight," the team said in a statement, "but we've decided to go in a different direction."
The current mascot is the result of a 2012 consulting deal with Marvel, which designed a basketball-themed superhero in a metal mask and shield. As the BrooklyKnight's Instagram shows, the Marvel connection continued to play a role in his appearances. In addition to photos of the mascot with Nets fans, there are shots of the "official superhero of the Brooklyn Nets" at New York Comic Con 2013, posing with cosplayers and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. convertible.
Legendary reveals new pages, date for Morrison & Irving's 'Annihilator'
Legendary Comics unveiled Grant Morrison's Annihilator at New York Comic Con 2012, only for the creator-owned project to drop off the radar. However, now the publisher has released new details about the upcoming series, including a Sept. 4 release date and a first look at pages.
Featuring art by Frazer Irving, Annihilator centers on on Ray Spass, a former screenwriter with a brain tumor who gets a big break to write a huge blockbuster film.
Own the Infinity Gauntlet with Hasbro's Comic-Con exclusive
Ever want to get your hands on the Infinity Gauntlet? If you're headed to Comic-Con International in San Diego, Hasbro has you covered. USA Today debuted the first look at the company's Comic-Con exclusive, which includes a four-figure pack of 3 3/4-inch figures — Nebula, Starfox, Mistress Death and Thanos with mini Infinity Gauntlet — packaged with a foam version of the iconic Marvel artifact.
5-year-old cancer patient's family, friends become superheroes for his funeral
Get ready to tear up: WPLG TV reports 5-year-old superhero fan Brayden Denton passed away on May 8 in Newton County, Indiana due to a rare form of brain cancer, and in order to honor him, his family donned the costumes of his favorite characters for the funeral.
Rick Grimes takes on Walter White in Epic Rap Battle
The Epic Rap Battles of History YouTube Channel (Warning: Not safe for work due to language!) has had quite a few incredible fictitious match-ups over the years, including Batman vs. Sherlock Holmes, Doc Brown vs. Doctor Who and Master Chief vs. Leonidas (all also NSFW). However, it's likely none comes close to the most recent production: a rap battle between The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes and Breaking Bad's Walter White.
The Joker is straight outta Gotham in mc chris' 'Part Six'
Forget Straight Outta Compton, mc chris' take on the Joker is Straight Outta Gotham!
The rapping, rhyming mind behind Fette's Vette and the Friends EP — a whole album dedicated to the allies of the Dark Knight — has released an advance look at Foes, an album inspired by (you guessed it) the villains of the Batman universe, via Soundcloud. Although the recording is decidedly NSFW, Batman fans should definitely give it a listen as it's a really excellent take on the Clown Prince of Crime that explores his motivations, origins and lifelong battle with Batman.
Dreamworks animator's "Action Movie Kid" brings his son's playtime to life
It's easy to be jealous of kids in the modern era — they have so many wonderful toys. However, one dad has taken playtime to the next level by using Adobe Aftereffects on brief clips of his son playing around. Dreamworks animator Daniel Hashimoto alters clips of his son James to reflect the childlike wonder everyone felt as a kid when playing with lightsabers in the toy store or pretending a Nerf gun was actually a grappling hook. Hashimoto uploads the clips to the Action Movie Kid YouTube channel, and each of them has a different action movie spin.
Sean Galloway pits Robin against Red X for Emerald City print
Convention season is a time for some of the biggest announcements in the industry, but it's also the time when artists release a whole bunch of new art and prints to sell on the circuit. Case in point, Sean Galloway — who readers will recognize from his work on the Wednesday Comics Teen Titans story with writer Eddie Berganza — will have some new prints for sale at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, one of which he revealed on Twitter after "5 minutes of a power nap."
Art Adams covers Legendary's 'Godzilla: Awakening'
Legendary Entertainment has released the official cover for its Godzilla graphic novel tie-in, Godzilla: Awakening, by fan-favorite artist Art Adams. His take on the King of Monsters is, of course, highly detailed, with particular attention paid to the texture of the skin and scales.
Co-written by Godzilla screenwriters Max Borenstein and Greg Borenstein, Awakening features the work of a number of artists, including Eric Battle, Yvel Guichet, Alan Quah and Lee Loughridge. Arriving May 7, the original graphic novel serves as a prequel to director Gareth Edwards' film, although no concrete plot points have been revealed. Check out Adams' cover and the Godzilla: Awakening synopsis below.
Obama reveals 'secret project': 'We're building Iron Man'
"Today I am joined by researchers who invent some of the most advanced metals on the planet; designers who are modeling prototypes in the digital cloud; folks from the Pentagon who help to support their work — basically, I'm here to announce that we're building Iron Man."
That's a direct quote from President Barack Obama during a White House manufacturing innovation event. Although it was a joke — "I'm going to blast off in a second. This has been a secret project we've been working on for a while. Not really. Maybe. It's classified." — the reality is that Iron Man-like technology has been in development, in one form or another, for some time.
Scroll Saw Scribbler puts Kevin Collert's Avengers designs on wood
Woodsmith Justin Christensen runs an Etsy shop and Facebook page under the moniker Scroll Saw Scribbler, where he posts photos of his various pop-culture-inspired woodcrafts. His latest project is Avengers themed boxes/wall hangers with images of the superheroes shadowed behind recognizable images of their alter egos. So far, Christensen has crafted Iron Man, the Hulk and Captain America for some gorgeous — and impressively precise — pieces of art. Although he didn't design the images, he did hand make the box and carve the design into the wood. The original design is credited to Kevin Collert, a graphic designer from Ohio.
McGruff the Crime Dog actor sentenced to 16 years in prison for marijuana and grenade launcher possession
It's not actually the character McGruff the Crime Dog, just an actor who formerly portrayed him — though I'm not sure that makes this story less ironic. In a surprising twist of fate, CBS Houston reports McGruff actor John R. Morales has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for possession of 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons — including a grenade launcher — and 9,000 rounds of ammo. Though Morales pled guilty recently, the bust took place in 2011, after Galveston, Texas authorities (and drug-sniffing dogs) discovered contraband in the actor's car when pulling him over for speeding.

- Studio: Palm Pictures
- Release Date: Jun 6, 2003
- Starring: Angelica Lee, Lawrence Chou
- Summary: A supernatural thriller, which has redefined fear for Western audiences by offering a glimpse into Eastern rituals and attitudes surrounding death. (Fortissimo Films)
- Director: Danny Pang
- Genre(s): Drama, Thriller, Horror
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 18 out of 26
Mixed: 7 out of 26
Negative: 1 out of 26
A brilliant little exercise. As a horror movie, it packs one genuine scare after another, right up to the moment of its inconceivably ghastly end. As a mystery, it unfolds with an almost supernatural elegance. And as a metaphor for the movies themselves, it's truly exceptional.
Although almost nothing about The Eye is surprising, the movie is nevertheless engrossing, as it mutates from horror movie to ghost story to psychological drama to disaster flick (a late, stunning twist). It casts a spell strong enough that viewers won't want to look away.
This moody Hong Kong thriller puts a stylish new spin on the old "Hands of Orlac" horror motif.
Like the horror-flick hacks who infest Hollywood like termites, the Pangs don't build suspense, they assault the senses with twitchy photography and Danny's editing.
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 14
Mixed: 5 out of 14

Sep 24, 2012Mun is a girl of twenty blind since the age of two years, which, thanks to a corneal transplant from a donor unknown, regains his sight. After a while, however, Mun also begins to see visions of mysterious and very disturbing. In fact, now she is able to see the souls of the dead that in the beginning, since he could not yet see well, she mistook for real people. She not only sees dead people, but also creatures dressed in black and the pure white face that accompany the souls when they die. This will be the beginning of a nightmare for her. The movie the Pang brothers is formed by a cast of great actors. The plot is not very original, but the film works thanks to an excellent director who manages to combine the tension and fear with some really dramatic and moving.… Expand
M.DayeFeb 4, 2006Genuinely terrifying and, though it does borrow frequently from the archives of horror, there is a modern twist added which gives it a slight sci-fi touch.… Expand
ChadS.Jul 9, 2006Unlike the boy in "The Sixth Sense", Mun(Angelica Lee) doesn't try to help the dead people. Even though the ghosts seem relatively benevolent, the music suggests otherwise.

G011 /00 US. Cl. 73-151 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for analyzing the elastic waves in a steel sucker-rod having a transmission line, a signal generator, and a display unit. The wave equation of the steel rod is solved to provide quantitative values for the load on and displacement of the rod at any point on its length.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the performance characteristics of a pumping well. More particularly, the invention is directed to a method and apparatus for analyzing data received at the surface of the well to determine downhole conditions. The invention has specific application to the analysis of pumping problems in the operation of sucker rod pumping systems.
For pumping deep Wells, such as oil wells, a common practice is to employ a series of interconnected rods for coupling an actuating device at the surface with a pump at the bottom of the well. This series of rods, generally referred to as the rod string or sucker rod, has the uppermost rod extending up through the well casinghead for connection with an actuating device, such as a pump jack of the Walking beam type, through a coupling device frequently referred to as the rod hanger. The well casinghead includes means for permitting sliding action of the uppermost rod which is frequently referred to as the polished rod.
In deep wells the long sucker rod has considerable stretch, distributed mass, etc., and motion at the pump end may be radically different from that imparted at the upper end. Through the years, the polished rod dynamometer has provided the principal means for analyzing the performance of rod pumped wells. The dynamometer is an instrument which records a curve, usually called a card, of polished rod load versus displacement. The shape of this curve reflects the conditions which prevail downhold in the well. Hopefully the downhole conditions can be deduced by visual inspection of the polished rod card. Owing to the diversity of card shapes, however, it is frequently impossible to make a diagnosis of downhole conditions solely on the basis of visual interpretation. In addition to being highly dependent on the skill of the dynamometer analyst, the method of visual interpretation only provides downhole data which are qualitative in nature. As a result it is frequently necessary to use complicated apparatus and procedures to directly take downhole measurements in order to accurately determine the performance characteristics at various depth levels within the well.
Recently, however, a new technique was devised for determining downhole conditions from data measured uphole at the polished rod, for example, see the copending application entitled Method of Determining Sucker Rod Pump Performance, by Sam G. Gibbs, Ser. No. 596,371, filed Oct. 21, 1966, now Pat. No. 3,343,409. In that case, it was shown that downhole conditions could be accurately determined by measuring and analyzing the loads and motions measured at the polished rod. Typically, time "ice histories of polished rod load and displacement recorded at the well site are taken to a digital computer center where digital input is key punched from readings done by hand from the cards. Computer output is generated as a series of points that subsequently must be plotted to make a dynagraph card indicative of downhole conditions. This method, although provcn to give effective results far superior to the old methods, is still time consuming and therefore expensive. For example, this method may take a day or more to produce the desired information.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The following and other objects of the invention are achieved by a method and apparatus for simulating the performance of a pump in a pumping well from the wave motion at the surface end of a sucker-rod string that extends upward from the pump. The time histories proportional to polished rod load and displacement are provided as input to a model of the sucker-rod string to simulate the operation thereof. An output quantity of the analog corresponding to the velocity of the suckerrod is integrated and provided as to one input of an X-Y coordinate type display while a quantity corresponding to the sucker-rod load is taken from the analog and provided as the other input to the display.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a new and more useful way of analyzing the dynagraph data.
Another object is to provide a way of producing the desired information at the well site.
And finally it is an object of this invention to provide the desired information in minutes rather than days.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram partially in longitudinal section, showing the general arrangement of apparatus in a system in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side elevation showing a portion of the apparatus at the rod hanger;
FIG. 3 is a graphical illustration of polished rod load versus time;
FIG. 4 is a graphical illustration of polished rod displacement versus time;
FIG. 5 is a mechanical model of a sucker-rod string;
FIG. 6 is an electrical analog of a sucker-rod string;
FIG. 7 is a block diagram-schematic of an electrical system made according to the teaching of the invention; and
FIG. 8 is a pump dynagraph that would result from an application of the invention to a practical well situation.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a well having the usual well casing 10 extending from the surface to the bottom thereof. Positioned within the well casing 10 is a production tubing 11 having a pump 12 located at the lower end. The pump barrel 13 contains a standing valve 14 and a plunger or piston 15 which in turn contains a traveling valve 16. The plunger 15 is actuated by a jointed sucker rod 17 that extends from the piston 15 up through the production tubing to the surface and is connected at its upper end by a coupling 18 to a polished rod 19 which extends through a packing joint 20 in the wellhead.
As best shown in FIG. 2, the upper end of the polished rod 19 is connected to a hanger bar 23 suspended from a pumping beam 24 by two wire cables 25. The hanger bar 23 has a U-shaped slot 26 for receiving the polished rod 19. A latching gate 27 prevents the polished rod from moving out of the slot 26. A U-shaped platform 28 is held in place on top of the hanger bar 23 by means of a clamp 29. A similar clamp 30 is located below the hanger bar 23. A strain-gauge load cell 33, described in greater detail hereafter, is shown bonded to the platform 28. An electrical cable 34 leads from the load cell 33 to a recorder 35, and a taut wire line 36 leads from the hanger bar 23 to a displacement transducer 37 (see FIG. 1). The displacement transducer 37 is also connected to the recorder 35 by the electrical lead 38.
The strain-gauge load cell 33 is a conventional device and operates in a manner well known to those in the art. A particularly suitable load cell is the model 1011 manufactured by the Lockheed Electronics Company, Los Angeles, Calif. When the platform 28 is loaded, it becomse shorter and fatter due to a combination of axial and transverse strain. Since the wire of the strain-gauge 28 is bonded to the platform 28, it is also strained in a similar fashion. As a result, a current passed through the strain-gauge wire now has a larger cross section of wire in which to flow, and the wire is said to have less resistance. As the hanger bar 23 moves up and down, an electrical signal which relates straing-gauge resistance to polished rod load is transmitted from the load cell 33 to the recorder 35 via the electrical .cable 34.
The displacement transducer 37 is a conventional unit such as the Model WR 8150-A also manufactured by Lockheed Electronics Company. The displacement transducer unit 37 is a cable-and-reel driven, infinite resolution potentiometer that is equipped with a constant tension (negator spring driven) rewind assembly. As the hanger bar 23 moves up and down, the taut wire line 36 actuates the reel driven potentiometer and a varying voltage signal is produced. This signal, which relates voltage to polished rod displacement, is also transmitted to the recorder 35 via the electrical lead 38.
The recorder 35 may be any one of a number of instruments for recording an electrical signal. For example, multichannel magnetic tape recorders have been found to work very well. A further example is the Model G22 Dual Channel Recorder manufactured by Varian Associates, Inc. The recorder 35 is provided with a high torque motor which drives a strip chart at the rate of 60 inches per minute. Data from the strain-gauge load cell 33 and the displacement transducer 37 are simultaneously and independently recorded on the common chart to produce curves as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows a typical curve of polished rod load versus time and FIG. 4 shown a curve illustrating polished rod displacement versus time.
The key part in the analysis of the pumping system performance is the method for deciphering the force data which are measured at the polished rod. This interpretive process is based on a boundary-value problem comprising a differential equation and a set of boundary conditions.
The sucker rod can be thought of as a transmission or communication line, the behavior of which is described by the viscously damped wave equation:
at x a: 1
a=velocity of sound in steel in feet/ second;
B=damping coeflicient, l/second;
t=time in seconds;
x distance of a point on the unrestrained rod measured from the polished rod in feet; and,
u(x,t):displacement from the equilibrium position of the sucker rod in feet.
Further details on the development and validity of this equation can be found in the copending application previously referenced.
Information regarding downhole operating conditions is transmitted through the sucker rod in the form of strain waves which travel at about 16,000 feet per second. This information is monitored at the polished rod, preferably in the form of curves of polished rod load and 4 displacement versus time as shown respectively in FIGS. 3 and 4. The boundary conditions are then formulated with this measured information or data and because Equation 1 contains no gravity term, the rod weight must be deducted from the polished rod load. This yields a dynamic load-time curve which, together with the displacement time curve, constitutes the boundary condition data required for a steady-state solution.
The boundary conditions are where:
D(w,t)=recorded polished rod displacement, ft.
W =static weight of the rod, lb.
L=total length of the rod string, ft.
u displacement of sucker rod at arbitrary position and time, ft.
t=time, sec.
x=position along the rod, ft.
a=velocity of wave propagation in the sucker rod, ft./sec.
c=damping coefficient, l/sec.
Since only a steady-state solution is desired, boundary conditions, Equations 2 and 3, will be sufiicient for a solution of Equation 1.
Careful analysis has shown that Equation 1 may be very closely approximated by the loop equations of a mechanical model as shown in FIG. 5. The sucker rod may be though of as a series of masses, springs, and dashpots. Forces F(t) and F(t) are the forces exerted on the sucker-rod string by the prime mover and pump respectively.
The equations of motion for the mecahnical model of FIG. 5 are:
As the string of mechanical elements in the system of FIG. 5 is increased, Equation 4 will approach the form of Equation 1.
The recorded force, U(wt), and displacement, L(wt), at the polished rod are the consequences of the action of the force F(t) and pump load F(t). For a steady-state solution, the displacement and the load at the pump-side of the rod can therefore be calculated from the solution of Equation 1 with boundary conditions Equations 2 and 3, by setting x=L.
In order to enter the boundary conditions, Equations 2 and 3, into the lumped parameter system as shown in FIG. 5, a slight modification of these equations is required. The difference form of Equations 2 and 3 may be written as:
where l=L (total length of the rod string)/n (number of rod sections). Combining Equations 27 and 2-8 gives a am W where:
L=inductance (henry) R=resistance (ohm) C=capacitance (farad) Q=charge (coulomb) x=distance (feet) t=time (sec.)
Equation 9 may be closely approximated by an electrical analog of the model of FIG. 5 as shown in FIG. 6. After making a substitution of the loop equations for the circuit of FIG. 6 are: ai orqawm l. L" )R 2 2 Q2 Q1 2q2 C2 {13 Q2 Again as the number of circuit elements in FIG. 6 approaches infinity, Equation 10 will approach the form of Equation 9.
For a mass-inductance analog, the scale factor relating inductance, charge, and electrical time to mass, displacement, and mechanical time are S S and S in the following set of equations:
Inductance L (henry)=S m (lb.-sec. in.) (11) Charge Q (coulomb) =S l (in.) (12) Electrical time t, (sec.)=S t (sec.) (13) where m=total mass of the sucker rod divided by the number of segments in the simulating system l =total length of the sucker rod divided by the number of segments in the simulating system The scale factors for all other quantities may be determined in terms of S S and S i.e.,
Current i (amp)-=S v (in/sec.)
S =S /S Voltage E (volts) =S F (1b.) I S5=S1S2/S32 Resistance R (ohm) =S c (lb.-sec./ in.) S6=S1/S3 Capacitance C (farad=S -l/k (in./l.k.)
The boundary conditions are satisfied if the current i; through inductor L is of the form To complete a working simulation system, it is necessary to have a means for imposing the boundary conditions, i.e., controlling the oscillation of m or the wave form of i and measuring the response of some parameters of the final element of the approximating mechanical or electrical system.
For reasons of size, speed, economy, and convenience, the electrical simulation system is the preferred embodiment, and complete details of it will be hereinafter described.
As best shown in FIG. 7, a variable speed tape recorder receives on two independent channels a signal from the strain-guage load cell and a signal from the displacement transducer. The signals are recorded at some tape speed V and are played back at another tape speed V V is chosen to be substantially larger than V for scaling convenience. The measured load L(wt) and displacement D(wl) as measured on the sucker rod are supplied from recorder 35 through leads 40 and 42 respectively to the inputs of differentiators 44 and 46. The differentiators may be any one of several well known in the art and described in detail in Soroka, Analog Methods in Computation and Simulation, McGraw-Hill (1954). The output of differentiator 44 is supplied through lead 48 to variable multiplier 50. Variable multipliers are well known in the art and a detailed account thereof can be found in the work by Soroka, referenced above. The output of variable multiplier 50 is supplied through lead 52 to one input of a summing operational amplifier 56 where it is summed with the output of diiferentiator 46 supplied through lead 54 to another input of operational amplifier 56. The output of operational amplifier can be seen to be the sum of the time derivatives of the sucker-rod displacement and load. It is supplied through lead 58 to variable multiplier 60 where it is multiplied by the appropriate scaling factor in accordance with Equation 18.
The function of the above described apparatus is to provide a signal modified by the boundary conditions to the modeling means. This signal generating function although described above in electrical terms, may be done with mechanical elements. Details again may be found in the work by Soroka, cited above.
The output of variable multiplier 60 is supplied directly to the input of transmission line 70 wherein L L LIP-1) n; 1 2 n-l, n; and 1, 2 n 1 C are respectively precision variable inductors, resistors and capacitors all of which are well known in the art. An oscilliscope 72 may be provided to monitor the input signal.
In accordance with the above analysis, the pump load and velocity are simulated by the voltage across C and R and the current through inductor L respectively. To obtain the pump displacement it is necessary only to perform an integral operation on the current through L This can be easily achieved by supplying the voltage signal across R through leads to the input of integrator 82 since there is a linear relationship between the voltage across and current through a resistor. The proportionality factor and any other sealing factors may be accounted for by a variable multiplier 84 that receives its input from the output of integrator 82 through lead 86.
Integrator 82 may be of the mechanical or electrical variety. Both are well known in the art, and details on their construction and operation may be found in the work by Soroka, cited above.
Any proportionality or scaling factors relative to the load function as well as the weight of the rod are ac- 7 counted for by summer 90. The voltage across C and R is supplied through lead 92 to the input of summer OPERATION OF THE INVENTION The invention can be used to solve a practical problem by selecting the proper values for the components. First the scaling factors as defined in Equations 11 through 18 must be chosen. For example, they may be chosen as follows:
Substituting Equation 20 into Equations 11 to 18 yields the equations for converting a mechanical model, FIG. 5, to a corresponding electrical model, FIG. 6. The equations are as follows:
Inductance L (henry)=10 m, Mass (lb.sec. /in.)
Charge Q (coulomb)=10 1' Displacement (in.)
Electrical time i (sec.)=lt Mechanical time (sec.)
Currenti (amp)=10- v, Velocity (in/sec.)
Voltage E (volt)=10 F, Force (1b.)
Resistance R (ohm)=10 c., Damping coefficient (lb.-
Capacitance C (farad)=l0 (I/k), k=spring constant (lb./in.)
Electrical frequency w (rad./sec.)=10 w Mechanical Frequency (rad/sec.)
As an example suppose that field data was as follows:
length of the sucker-rod=6,000 feet diameter of the rod=% inch speed of sound of the rod 16,000 feet per second Further suppose that the rod was divided into 10 subdivisions. Then the magnitudes of masses, spring constants, and damping coefficients for the corresponding mechanical model can be calculated from the following formulae:
Spring constant: k=- =2,500 lb./in.
An electrical transmission line model may then be constructed by calculating L, C, and R from the corresponding m, k, and c in the mechanical model according to Equations 11, 12 and 13. The values of L, C, and R can then be substituted into Equation 10 and are also used to determine the values of R, L, and C as settings for the variable inductors, resistors and capacitors in the electrical model.
Boundary conditions are imposed on the transmission line by controlling the input thereto. Signals proportional to the load and displacement of the polished rod are recorded on a tape recorder at a velocity v, such as 5 in./sec. The signal generator that is connected to the output of the recorder modifies the playback signals to conform to Equation 19. The output of the signal generator is connected to the input of the transmission line.
A dynagraph of the sucker-rod at any depth in the well can be quickly made by sampling the current through the inductor and voltage across capacitor for the segment in the electrical transmission line model corresponding to the depth in the well of interest. For example, if one were interested in a dynagraph of the sucker-rod threequartcrs of the Way between the polished rod and the pump, one would sample the current and voltage of the transmission line element of the way between the signal generator and end of the transmission line.
Damping coeffieient: c: m=9.15 lb.sec./ln.
The current and voltage at the point of interest on the transmission line would then be passed through integrator '82 and summer 90, respectively, and from there, as earlier described, to an XY display unit. For example, a simple oscilloscope could be used, and a permanent record of the dynagraph could be made by photographing the face of the oscilloscope.
Thus, it can be seen that the present invention provides the apparatus for and method of determining the performance characateristics of a reciprocating well pump located below the fluid level of a well and having a piston therein with a sucker-rod string extending upward to a polishedrod connected to a reciprocating prime mover means at the top of the well, wherein the cross-sectional area of each rod size in the sucker-rod string, the overall length of the rods in the sucker-rod string, the weight of the sucker-rods and the pump piston, and the weight of that portion of the sucker-rod hanging in said fluid are predetermined, and wherein the load and displacement for said polished-rod are monitored, said method comprismg:

Q down big soon
no boc im not. Still it should of had a better day but I think will be just fine. And after Christmas the earnings should be out of this world. I wouldnt sell at this time. I know your short term thinking and of course we could go lower before it rises. Ive seen it many times. I dont see any major problems with Q itself. Even though the S&P has dropped 7 or 8% Q held up pretty well during those times while other competitors fell. Even though they expect another S&P drop of 8% im sure Q will hold its gains.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Boc I will sell q now.
LOL gutboy08 said IT was "out" days ago. Boc sure is a lying POS as he impersonates gutboy09. He is so jealous, 09 has a family, a house, a job and boc aka 08 has nothing.

Mail backs Midnight in Cheltenham Gold Cup
Last updated at 14:30, Thursday, 15 March 2012
PUNTERS are going crazy over tomorrow's Cheltenham Gold Cup showdown between Kauto Star and Long Run, but the Evening Mail sportsdesk are keeping their fingers crossed for a less-fancied runner.
We have teamed up with Ladbrokes Barrow to place a £25 each-way bet on 10/1 shot Midnight Chase in the highlight of this week's racing in the West Country.
The 10-year-old finished fifth when Long Run triumphed last year, but has form on the course, having won there in good to soft conditions in January.
Deputy sports editor Paul Turner picked him over the big two and said: "I wanted a horse with a good each-way chance and both Kauto Star and Long Run were too short in the odds to make that worthwhile.
"Midnight Chase has a good record at Cheltenham and I'm hoping he can do as Imperial Commander did two years ago and upset the two favourites."
Any money raised from the charity bet, kindly donated by Ladbrokes, will go to St Mary's Hospice.
