College Football 2012 – Week Three Preview
We've had our first round of big upsets, with Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Wisconsin all falling out of the Top 25. And with some big games on tap next Saturday (Clemson vs. Florida State, Kansas State vs. Oklahoma, Michigan vs. Notre Dame), a bunch of big names better not get caught looking ahead this week.
Here is what to watch for in college football this weekend.
LSU Crushes Washington 41-3
College Football 2012 — Week Two Preview
Week One told us a few things. Like that Alabama is really, really good.
This week, we don't have any matchups between ranked schools, but we do have some intriguing games that should tell us a bit more about some of these teams. Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Florida all have challenging road games against BCS-conference opponents. Oklahoma and Stanford, who struggled last week, will try to work out some kinks. Missouri and Texas A&M get their first tastes of life in the SEC. Poor Savannah State will be obliterated by another Top 25 team. And Alabama and Arkansas can set up the first top 10 matchup of the season.
Here is what to look for this week in college football:
College Football 2012 – Week One Recap
After an off-season filled with scandal and controversy, seeing college football back on the field was a welcome sight. While early season games for Top 25 teams often feature blowouts of lesser opponents (and we certainly had several of those), this week we were also treated to a pair of matchups between Top 25 teams as well as some outstanding individual efforts. Some questions were answered, other teams now have even more. Here is a recap of all the action in the Top 25 this weekend.

French Atomic Energy-Output Cuts Would Harm Economy, CEA Says
June 6 (Bloomberg) -- President Francois Hollande's plan to lower France's reliance on nuclear energy by 2025 would create economic problems for the country, according to the head of the nation's biggest nuclear research institute.
Reaching the goal of deriving just half of France's electricity output from atomic reactors by 2025 from the current 75 percent "isn't possible without creating great difficulties for the country," Bernard Bigot, chairman of the French Atomic Energy Commission, told reporters yesterday in Saclay outside Paris. Prolonging the lives of existing reactors to about 60 years would make more economic sense, he said.
French Energy Minister Segolene Royal will provide details to the cabinet on June 11 on a long-delayed energy law that is expected to outline France's future production mix. Hollande's target for dependence on nuclear was accompanied by a pledge to shut the country's oldest plant at Fessenheim in 2016.
France will need "at least" 35 atomic reactors in 2050 and so should start a "progressive replacement" program of the existing fleet, Bigot said.
State-controlled utility Electricite de France SA operates the country's 58 nuclear reactors, which have an average age of 28 years, and is building another at Flamanville in Normandy.
By keeping the country's atomic capacity steady and adding renewables to meet future electricity-demand growth, France could meet Holland's goal by 2050, said Bigot, who called himself a "technical expert" rather than a policy maker.
The CEA is pushing ahead with research into a next-generation atomic reactor even as EDF and reactor builder Areva SA encounter delays and cost overruns in starting up the so-called third-generation EPR models under construction in France, Finland and China.
In the lead-up to the French energy law, promoters of atomic power like the CEA and EDF have relied on different models for predicting future electricity demand to justify keeping reactors running than detractors who want them shut down.

"My first ever tiny prints labels order and they look great! Love the colors and quality of the labels. Will definitely be ordering more."
"Recently moved so order these pretty address labels. Was very pleased with them. The labels I ordered are simple, elegant, modern, traditional but everyday useful. Delivery was very quick, arrived 3 days after I ordered. Will be ordering from Tiny Prints again in the near future."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"I'm not a huge fan of chevron, but these labels stuck out to me so I bought a sheet (I couldn't pick one design so I got 3 that order!). They are very cute! The fonts and colors work well with the design and they are perfect. :)"
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"

5 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Stryker (Flower Mound, TX).
I reached out to the HR person in the Flower Mound location and got an immediate response wanting to set up an initial interview. This first interview was a typical "get to know you" interview. I was asked on the spot to go ahead with the second interview with Gallup company. These were personality questions. I was then called back about 2 weeks later saying they were moving on with other candidates.
Interview Questions
- typical questions Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Stryker (Flower Mound, TX) in November 2010.
First interview was just a quick phone screening to determine whether or not I met their basic requirements. This interview was less than 20 minutes and very easy.
Sample question-Tell me a bit about yourself.
Second interview was more in depth with a larger amount of "tell me about a time when..." questions. Took approximately 40 minutes.
Step 3- Gallup personality test. Hardest of the 4 steps. This was an hour of rapid fire questions that ranged from "tell me a time when.." where you had a chance to explain to "on a scale from 1-10" questions with no logical order.
Last portion of my experience was a third phone interview with a hiring manager. This was a more in depth version of the second step. I never heard back after this step.
Interview Questions
- On a scale from 1-10 how persuasive are you? Answer Question
- Tell me about a time when you had an idea that was opposed by your group and how you dealt with it. Answer Question
- No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day – interviewed at Stryker (Flower Mound, TX) in June 2010.
I arrived at the building for my interview only to be told they changed the location to a different building. After walking around the outside for quite some time an associate helped my find where the interview was being held. He had to ask the receptionist. I finally get to the place and two other people were in the waiting area. I sat for over a half an hour before anyone came out to see if I arrived. The two other people and myself were escorted to a conference room with over 25 other candidates. Apparently the interview process had been going on for an hour. We were asked questions about ourselves and why we want to work for Stryker. This was the worse interview I had ever been on. I for one do not like speaking in front of a large group. Being on an interview you are nervous to begin with and then having to speak in front of an audience was very disconcerting. The job description did not give any indication of speaking in front of an audience. After this process was done we turned in our resumes and were excused. I will never, ever apply for a job at this company again.
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Stryker (Flower Mound, TX) in February 2010.
Email from HR to schedule phone interview; Lengthy phone interview with several short questions: Some questions were simply yes or no answers, some had you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 (how persuasive are you, how competitive are you, etc), and some were short answer. Interview went well, had seen many of the questions she asked me online (that other people had posted) beforehand. Apparently I did well (according to post-email correspondence), however I'm waiting for an update.
Interview Questions
- Do you learn a little about a lot, or a lot about a little? Answer Question
Helpful (1)No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at Stryker (Flower Mound, TX) in January 2010.
I am still in the middle of the process. I was contacted the company. I had an friend working in a different department that recommended me. I was invited in for a face to face interview on Monday. Went in for face to face interview. Then was invited to take the Gallup. Just scheduled Gallup. Will take Gallup tomorrow. We will see.

I have a svn repository, R, that depends on a library, l, in another repository.
The goal is that when someone checks out R, they also check out l. We want l to still be in its own repository so that l can be updated without dependence on R.
I don't know much about external svn links, but I believe that when depending on a svn-based library one can link to it externally, 'ext'.
If l is in a git repository, can I do something similar? I'd like to preserve the goal stated above.

Every child deserves a chance to play baseball.
The Miracle League of Pensacola provides physically and mentally challenged children a safe and spirited program in which they can hit, run, and catch on a baseball field – just like other kids. MLP offers a unique and memorable opportunity these children would not otherwise have.
The Miracle League of Pensacola is a place where every player plays, every player hits, every player gets on base, every player scores, and every player wins – every inning. Players who need help with hitting, catching, and throwing the ball are paired with a "buddy" who helps out.
Rainer Maria Rilke, a German lyric poet at the turn of the 20th century, wrote: "This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess." Watch a Miracle League game from the bleachers and you will be moved as you have never been moved at any other athletic event. It will be unforgettable, and you will be glad you were there. Then you will want to come back. Then you will want to do whatever you can to help.

In this course, author Alicia Katz Pollock shares the keyboard shortcuts, workflows, and commands that can transform the casual Word 2010 user into a pro. This course covers helpful and lesser-known techniques for making document navigation, content creation, formatting, layout, working with data, graphics integration, and publishing easier. Alicia also includes her favorite top 10 formatting tips in Word, from clearing existing formatting to inserting lines and creating abbreviations with AutoCorrect.
When you're working on a Word document it's rare that you'll finish it in one sitting, that's not really a good idea anyway. It takes time and distance to proofread a document to catch all your errors. Here are four ways to return to a recently used document quickly. Let's start right in Windows. Come down to your Start button and click on it, if you see Word on the list, great! If you don't though, down here under the Search, you can go ahead and search for Word and you'll see it right at the top of the list. Either way, right-click on it and you'll see an option to Pin it to the Start Menu, I'll click on that.
Now when I click on the Start Menu I'll always see Word right at the top. Now when I hold my cursor over the arrow on the right a pane flies out with my Recent Documents and I can just pick them off the list. Now notice that there's a thumbtack on the right. If I have a document that maybe I don't use it all the time, so it might not show up under Recent, but it would be really handy for me to be able to get to it quickly. I can pin it to the top of this menu, then it'll always stay here even as the Recents come and go. And if I ever don't need it there anymore, I can just click on the thumbtack again to unpin it, and it'll go back into the list.
I'm going to go ahead and open up the twotreesemployeemanual. The second place to open Recent files is up under the File tab on the backstage view, click on Recent. In the left-hand column you'll see a list of all your recent documents and on the right you'll see a list of all of your recent folders. The thumbtack trick works here too. To the right of each of the files, there is a thumbtack and when I click it, it pins it up to the top. So again, even if you haven't used it recently, you have easy access to it.
You can also pin your most commonly used folders, and if later on you don't need them simply unpin them again. Next, there is a check mark down at the bottom of the screen that says, Quickly access this number of Recent Documents and the default is 4. As soon as I hit the check mark, my four most recent documents show up on this pane on the left-hand side and that's nice. So that when I'm working on a document, if I want to open up the recent file, I just go to the File tab and there they are. I want to go back to Recent again and go back to Quickly access this number of Recent Documents, and notice that you can increase this number all the way up to 10.
The next step is that you have the ability to customize how many files show on this list. Let's go up to Words Options. At the bottom of the Backstage view on the File tab you have Options and I'm going to go to the Advanced section and then scroll down to Display. Right here it says Show this number of Recent Documents and you can change that number all the way up to 50. I'm going to leave mine at 25, so I'm going to click Cancel. Setting your preferences for viewing your recent files will keep them readily available, saving you from having to browse through your file system frequently to find what you're looking for.

This project provides 100 divorced women with land and housing. The women will speak out on the need to provide land and housing to divorced women in a country where family property belongs to men.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
This project adresses the issue of homelessness among divorced women in Uganda. The current practice on customary land, which makes up 65% of land in Uganda, is that the man controls family property. In the past the clan structure ensured that a woman was not sent off land except when she committed a crime like murder or witchcraft. With the weakening of the clan structure, many women are being rendered homeless. This project will provide a home to divorced women and impact practices on land.
How will this project solve this problem?
For each of 100 select divorced women provide: 1. House and garden 2. 2 malaria nets per family 3. 20 computers to be shared by all women 4. 10 protected springs to be shared by all women
Potential Long Term Impact
1. 100 women and 600 children will be assured of a home and a livelihood 2. The project will make visible the plight of women in the transition from communal to private land ownership 3. 10,000 families will see the need to let women own family lan

Samson Meteorite USB Condenser Microphone
We featured Samson's original Meteor mic way, way back in 2011. Now, three years later, comes the sequel, sporting a logical name: Meteorite USB Condenser Microphone ($60). The design is highly similar to before, but it's been shrunk down into a smaller package, consisting of a spherical microphone with an integrated cable, and a desktop stand.
Coated in chrome, Meteorite has the same retro stylings of Meteor. It plugs right into your Mac—or an iPad or iPhone, if you have a USB adapter—ready to work with any audio software you may want to use. It supports the same 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz resolution as its big brother, with a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz.

The effectiveness of a prefabricated earth drain installed in a generally vertical manner in soil is improved for enhancing the expelling of pore water from the soil to the surface. The soil surrounding the earth drain is hydraulically fractured either while the drain is in place or while the earth drain is being installed. Propping agents may also be supplied to the surrounding soil after hydraulic fracturing for propping fractures in the soil to maintain continuous flow to the drain. Radially extending fissures may also be formed in the surrounding soil either mechanically or through the use of hydraulic jetting and a propping agent is supplied to these fissures either in the form of particulate material or a continuous ribbon of porous filter fabric.

This invention relates generally to soil improvement, and more particularly to improvements in vertical prefabricated earth drains used for soil consolidation acceleration, liquefaction mitigation, remediation and contaminant removal.
When loads are placed on the surface of soft, saturated clay deposits, large settlements often result because of compression of the clay material. In saturated material, this settlement can take place only as pore water is expelled. If the permeability of the compressible soil is very low, this process takes place very slowly. Total settlements of several meters are common and often take years to occur. This time-dependent process is called consolidation. A process called sand drains and surcharging has been used in these cases since the 1920's (See D. E. Moran, U.S. Pat. No. 1,598,300).
In this process sand drains (columns of sand) are installed vertically on a regular area pattern through the soft layer to be treated. After the sand drains are installed, a sand or gravel drainage blanket one to three feet thick is placed over the drains to permit water to flow out of the drains. An earth embankment is placed over this drainage blanket. The thickness of the embankment or surcharge is normally calculated to produce loading roughly 10% greater than the anticipated final design load planned for the project.
The sand drains now provide free drainage paths within the clay mass. Without drains, drainage from any point within the clay must take place vertically, either to the surface, or downward to a permeable soil layer below, if such layer is present. With drains present, the drainage distance from any point within the clay is to the nearest drain. Drains are spaced so that drainage paths are much shortened, and consolidation occurs much more rapidly. The surcharge is left in place until the consolidation process is nearly complete (commonly about 90%). This creates a condition where the soil skeleton (or soil grains) is loaded to a level equal to or somewhat greater than the anticipated design load. The surcharge is then removed and the project proceeds. Since the soft soil skeleton has been precompressed to a load somewhat greater than the design load, no more settlement occurs.
In the late 1960's and early 1970's, wick drains were developed as an alternative to sand drains. Wick drains are not truly wicks, but are composite drains composed of an extruded flexible plastic core shaped to provide drainage channels when the core is wrapped in a special filter fabric. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,820,296. The filter fabric (geofabric or geotextile) acts as a filter, constructed with opening sizes which prevent the entrance of soil particles, but allow pore water to enter freely. The finished wick material or drain is strip or band-shaped, typically about ⅛ to � inch thick, and approximately 4 inches wide. It is provided in rolls containing 800 to 1000 feet of drain. An example manufacturer is Nilex Corporation of Englewood, Colo. USA. Its product is sold under the trademark MEBRADRAIN.
More recently wick drains have been used to aid in the removal of contaminants from soil or aquifers (See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,582,611). In one variation of this process, wick drains are inserted into the contaminated soil or aquifer, water is injected into one or more of the wick drains, and water with contaminates is removed from one or more wick drains.
Another recent development is the use of larger composite drains as a replacement for the sand or gravel drainage blanket. These drains are similar to wick drains but with much larger cross sectional area. They are placed to accept drainage out of the vertical drains and to provide horizontal drainage from under the surcharge. This "under drain system" is very efficient, and is usually cost-effective when compared with a sand or gravel layer.
In another variation, the surcharge may be replaced by a system that applies atmospheric pressure to the ground surface. To apply this method an impervious membrane is placed over the area to be consolidated. The edges of this membrane are placed into a trench and buried to provide an airtight seal around the perimeter of the membrane. A vacuum is then drawn from under the membrane. A system of horizontal drains, as just mentioned, is placed under the membrane and distributes the effects of the vacuum uniformly throughout the treated area. The maximum pressure that can be realized in practice is about 70% to 80% of atmospheric, and is equivalent to approximately a 15-foot high embankment.
Another application for vertical prefabricated drains in ground improvement is for liquefaction mitigation and remediation. One of the most destructive effects of earthquakes is their effect on deposits of saturated loose, fine sand or silty sand, causing a phenomenon known as liquefaction. When liquefaction occurs the soil mass loses all shear strength and behaves temporarily as a liquid. Such temporary loss of shear strength can have catastrophic effects on earthworks or structures founded on these deposits. Major landslides, lateral movement of bridge supports, settling or tilting of buildings, and failure of waterfront structures have all been observed in recent years, and efforts have been increasingly directed toward development of methods to prevent or reduce such damage.
When loose sand is subjected to repeated shear strain reversals, such as caused by an earthquake, the volume of the sand will decrease. If the sand is saturated and drainage out of the sand is prevented, it will be understood that since the volume of the sand is decreasing, the pressure of the water must increase. As the water pressure becomes greater the grain-to-grain contact pressure in the sand must become smaller and smaller. When this grain-to-grain contact pressure becomes zero, the entire sand mass will lose all shear strength and will act as a liquid. This phenomenon is known as liquefaction and can occur in loose, saturated sand deposits as a result of earthquakes, blasting, or other shocks.
Treatment of soil to improve liquefaction resistance has taken the form of densifying the soil, providing reinforcing elements within the soil, providing drainage, or some combination of these. Traditionally the most cost effective of these alternatives has been the use of stone or gravel columns to provide reinforcement and/or drainage. Such columns are spaced at intervals within the liquefiable soil. Although the stone or gravel column method has been used extensively in the past, recent research has called into question its effectiveness. For example, see "Drainage Capacity of Stone Columns or Gravel Drains for Mitigating Liquefaction," Boulanger, R. W., Idriss, I. M., Stewart D. P., Hashish, Y, and Schmidt, B., 2nd Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics Conference, Seattle, Vol. I, 678-690, 1997, and "Mechanical Behavior of Stone Columns Under Seismic Loading," Goughnour, R. R. and Pestana, J. M., 2nd Int. Conf. On Ground Improvement Techniques, 7-9 October, 1998, Singapore.
One recently developed method of treating liquefiable soil for earthquake protection, comprises a plurality of substantially vertical prefabricated drains positioned at spaced intervals in the liquefiable soil and a reservoir, which is adapted for draining off water that is expelled from these composite drains (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,800,090). The object is to provide pore water pressure relief from a series of spaced locations within a liquefiable soil by providing an open drainage path, which operates as efficiently as possible-i.e. requires as little pressure as possible to move the required amount of water.
In the previous application where vertical drains were used for consolidation acceleration, drainage through the drains normally takes place over a period of several weeks, months, or even years. In this case, drainage must take place during strong shaking of the earthquake event, which is only a matter of seconds. The drains used in this application must provide flow capacity at least two orders of magnitude greater than normal wick drains.
One product that meets this requirement is the larger composite drains as mentioned above. This product is similar to wick drains but with a thickness of 1 to 1� inches, and a width of 6 inches or more. Another recently developed product is corrugated plastic pipe. This product is perforated or slotted and can be wrapped in a geofabric. When used for liquefaction mitigation this product will have an inside diameter of from 2 to 10 or 12 inches.
Installation of vertical drains is accomplished by means of specialized equipment, consisting of a crane-mounted, vertical mast housing a special installation mandrel. The mandrel, containing the drain, is intruded by force directly into the ground from the bottom of the mast. After reaching the desired depth, the mandrel is withdrawn back into the mast, leaving the undamaged drain in place within the soil. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,213,449. Sometimes vertical vibration is applied to the mandrel to aid in penetration. Typical spacing for wick drains is from three to ten feet. This well proven method of ground improvement has found extensive application where foundation materials are saturated and compressible, with moisture contents up to 100%. Such foundation materials include clays; soft, fine silts; organic deposits; and peat or "muck". This method is very cost-effective and has virtually replaced the older sand drain method.
Installation of drains intended for liquefaction remediation (earthquake drains) is accomplished with similar equipment. The mandrel is larger to accommodate a larger drain cross sectional area. As with wick drains, vibration is often applied to the mandrel to assist in penetrating the soil. However, in this case, the primary purpose of vibration is to densify the soil, since liquefaction potential is also reduced as a result of soil densification. Commonly fins are added to the mandrel to improve transmission of vibration to the soil, thus enhancing the densification process. Densification of the soil is accomplished simultaneously with drain installation. Earthquake drains spacings normally vary from 2 to 6 or 7 feet.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,190 discloses a method and apparatus for enhancing the effectiveness of prefabricated composite vertical drains. This is accomplished by actively pumping water from the drain for some period of time. Temporarily pumping water from the drain will carry fine soil material out of the soil and into the drain. This suspended fine soil is pumped out of the drain and disposed of. Removal of fine soil material in the vicinity of the drain will increase the permeability of the soil near the drain, thus permanently enhancing the effectiveness of the drain.
The method and apparatus of the present invention pertain to improvements in the effectiveness of such prefabricated drains which are installed in a generally vertical manner in soil to be treated for expelling pore water from the soil to the surface. The primary improvement resides in fracturing the soil surrounding the drain by applying hydraulic fracturing.
In one embodiment the drain is provided in the form of a perforated tube and fracturing of the surrounding soil is accomplished by providing a seal between upper exterior portions of the tube and the surrounding soil, and by further subjecting fluid within the tube to hydraulic fracturing pressures for fracturing surrounding soil with fluid under pressure applied via the perforations in the tube. Hydraulic fracturing pressures may be applied throughout the entire internal depth of the tube or the hydraulic fracturing pressures may be confined by subjecting fluid in a preselected segment of the tube only with hydraulic fracturing pressure. This latter method may be accomplished by providing spaced packer units within the tube.
In addition to the novel feature of fracturing soil surrounding the prefabricated drain novelty is further provided by supplying a propping agent to the surrounding soil after fracturing for propping fractures in the soil. As an alternative, the present invention also teaches the supplying of a propping agent to the surrounding soil prior to fracturing for propping fractures in the soil thereafter created by fracturing.
A further embodiment of the present invention provides the alternative of hydraulically fracturing the surrounding soil as the drain is being installed with fluid under pressure. This embodiment may be further enhanced by supplying the fracturing fluid under pressure to the surrounding soil in pulses. In this embodiment, a propping agent may also be supplied to the surrounding soil being fractured during the step of fracturing, and, in fact, the propping agent may be supplied in direct combination with the fracturing fluid.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, hydraulic fracturing of the soil surrounding the prefabricated drain may be omitted and radially extending fissures are instead created in the surrounding soil mechanically or with water jets and a propping agent is supplied to the radially extending fissures to prop them. In this embodiment of the present invention, the propping agent may be supplied to the fissures in the form of particulate material or as a continuous ribbon of porous filter fabric.
The concept of generating fractures in soil or rock by liquids being pumped into the formation at high pressure and high rate of flow has been recognized by the oil industry for many years, and was first applied in 1932. The importance of hydraulic fracturing in geotechnical problems was not pointed out until recently ("Hydraulic Fracturing in Field Permeability Testing," Bjerrum, L., et al., Geotechnique, London, England, Vo. 22, No. 2, June 1974, pp. 319-332). More recently fracturing has been used to enhance wells used for in situ soil remediation (see for example Venkatraman, S. N., Schuring, J. R., Boland, T. M., and Kosson, D. S., "Fracturing for In-Situ Bioremediation," Civil Engineering, March, 1996, 14A-16A)
It is believed that hydraulic fracturing occurs in a borehole because of the wedging action of the water acting on the walls of the hole or the wetted zone around the hole ("Laboratory Study of Hydraulic Fracturing," Jaworski, A. M., Duncan, J. M., and Seed, H. B., J. Geot. Engr. Div., Proc of A.S.C.E., Vol. 7, No. GT6, June 1981). When hydraulic fracturing is induced from a cylindrical bore, vertical cracks tend to form radially from the bore walls. These cracks can extend for some distance from the bore, thus providing preferred flow paths through the soil into the bore. This effectively increases the area through which fluid can flow from the ground into the bore. Flow of water from the soil into the bore is greatly enhanced. The prior art, however, does not suggest or perceive the possibility of using hydraulic fracturing in combination with prefabricated earth drains as taught by the present invention.
The prior art in regard to oil and gas wells also teaches that the effect of the fracture created cracks can be further enhanced by carrying a "proppant" in suspension in the fluid pumped into the formation. This proppant fills the cracks as they are created with some permeable material and assists in maintaining the crack as a preferred drainage path (see for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,051,900).
Other objects and advantages appear in the following description and claims. The accompanying drawings show, for the purpose of exemplification, without limiting the invention or claims thereto, certain practical embodiments illustrating the principals of this invention, wherein:
Enhancement of vertical prefabricated drains in accordance with the teachings of the present invention by hydraulic fracturing of the soil surrounding the drain can be accomplished while the drain is in situ or while the drain is being installed. Enhancement of vertical drain operation by hydraulic fracturing of the soil after the drain is installed will, by necessity, apply only to tubular drains of sufficient diameter to allow access to the interior of the drain. In most instances, such drains will generally apply to drains intended for liquefaction remediation wherein the generally vertical prefabricated drains are installed on a regular area pattern as previously described with uniform spacing between the drains in a liquefiable soil.
One product, as previously mentioned, that meets these requirements for liquefaction remediation is a corrugated plastic pipe as illustrated in FIG. 1. The drain pipe 10 is perforated or slotted with slots 11 and the drain pipe 10 is generally wrapped, but not always, in a geofabric. The drain pipe 10 illustrated in
Referring to
A fracture fluid pipe 16 extends downwardly and concentrically into perforated pipe 10 and provides access to insert fracture fluids under pressure into the pipe 10. An interior packer 17, smaller, but similar in configuration to exterior packer 12, is installed between tube 16 and the interior of drain 10 and is inflated with air or water under pressure through tube 18 to inflate the packer and prevent the fracturing fluid from escaping from the top of drain pipe 10.
Fracturing fluid, such as air or water under pressure, is thus applied to the bottom end of tube 16 to a column of water and/or air contained in drain pipe 10 which thereby applies hydraulic fracturing pressure for fracturing surrounding soil 20 with fluid under pressure applied via the perforations 11 of pipe 10.
The pressure to be achieved to produce fracturing must be in excess of the overburden pressure at any depth plus the tensile strength of the soil. Liquefiable soil will always have a low tensile strength. The hydraulic fracturing is accomplished, in this example, by applying air pressure, water pressure, or air pressure over water. In fact, the drain pipe 10 may be filled with water or other liquid via the fracture fluid pipe 16, and then the fracturing pressure may be applied by air release from an air pressure tank. Typical fracture pressures will be maintained for a period of 5 to 20 seconds. After fracturing has occurred, the water may be pumped from the drain to further develop the preferential flow pass created by the fractures as is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,190.
The structure illustrated in
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, it is desirable to supply a propping agent to the surrounding soil after fracturing for propping fractures in the soil in order to maintain the flow within the fractures. A propping agent can be carried in suspension in the fracture fluid, or the propping agent may consist of some solid particulate material that penetrates the crack or cracks formed by fracturing. This particulate material holds the crack open thus maintaining an open flow path to the earth bore and ultimately to the interior of the earth drain pipe 10.
Another method in accordance with the teachings of the present invention for carrying a propping agent into the cracks or fissures is to install the drain within a preformed matrix of some granular or particulate propping agent or material as indicated, for example, at 22 in FIG. 2. The fracture fluid will then carry the particulate material 22 into the cracks as they are formed during hydraulic fracturing. Apparatus in accordance with the teachings of the present invention for installing drains within such an envelope is illustrated by the probe or mandrel 25 shown in
In this embodiment, hollow mandrel 26 is comprised of inner and outer elongate coextending concentric pipes 27 and 28 respectively having top ends 29 and 30, and the bottom ends 31 and 32 with an annular space 33 provided therebetween maintained by annularly spaced and positioned spacers 34.
Inner pipe 27 is dimensioned to receive elongate prefabricated drain pipe 10 therein as illustrated and a sacrificial bottom closure 35 closes the bottom end of pipe 10, and when pipe 10 is in full upward position within inner tube 27, closure 35 also closes off the bottom ends 31 and 32 of concentric tubes 27 and 28 for driving or crowding the entire probe 25 downwardly into the earth.
A pressure tank 36 is secured to the top end of outer pipe 28 whereby the sealed interior of tank 36 is registered with the annular space 33 between concentric pipes 27 and 28 for forcing a propping agent under pressure from the interior of tank 36 down into this annular space 33, all the way to the bottom thereof. An airlock access 37 is provided on the top of pressure tank 36 for introduction of the propping agent or particulate material into the interior of tank 36. In addition, a fluid access pipe 38 is also provided for tank 36 for introducing fluid under pressure into tank 36 for assisting in driving the propping agent downwardly into the annular space 33.
A line and pulley arrangement 40 is provided adjacent the top end of concentric pipes 27 and 28 and is configured with line 41 and pulley 42 for pulling the prefabricated drain pipe 10 upwardly into inner pipe 27. Pulley arrangement 40 is sealed off from the annular space 33 as illustrated so as not to permit the propping agent contained within annular space 33 and the interior space of pressure tank 36 to interfere with the pulley arrangement 40 or to find ingress into the interior of pipe 27.
This entire probe 25 is mounted on a carrier such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,800,090. This mounting arrangement permits the probe 25 to be inserted downwardly into and withdrawn from the ground.
The sequence for drain installation is as follows:
1. The pull line 41 extends all the way down through the inner pipe 27 and is clamped to the upper end of precut drain pipe 10, which is also fitted and secured with a sacrificial plate 35 at its bottom end.
2. The drain pipe 10 is pulled up into the interior of tube 27 by the pull line 41 until the sacrificial plate now covers the open bottom ends 31 and 32 of the inner and outer pipes 27 and 28 respectively.
3. The carrier, such as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,800,090, now locates the probe 25 over the desired drain location.
4. The probe 25 is then vibrated vertically while being crowded downwardly into the ground by the carrier.
5. When the desired penetration depth into the ground is reached, the airlock 37 is opened and a measured amount of particulate material as a propping agent is placed into the pressure tank. This particulate material falls down through the annular space 33 between the two pipes 27 and 28, fully filling this annular space.
6. Air lock 37 is closed and air pressure is introduced into the interior of pressure tank 36 via tube 38 and is controlled to roughly 1 psi per foot of depth of probe penetration into the earth.
7. The probe 25 is then vibrated vertically by the carrier as it is withdrawn. The sacrificial plate remains in the ground anchoring the drain 10. As the probe 25 is withdrawn, the particulate material forms an envelope around the drain. Air pressure is reduced within the interior of pressure tank 36 as the probe is withdrawn.
The structures illustrated in
One problem which must be overcome with this arrangement is that the fluid flow from the nozzles 55 will "short circuit" to the ground surface as the probe is being crowded downwardly into the earth thereby creating an annular space around the hollow mandrel 30. In order to minimize this problem, the fracturing fluid that exits nozzles 55 is applied in pulses. That is, high volume and high pressure fluid are applied for a short period of time, one to ten seconds. The flow is then shut off for a period of time, for example, from five to ten seconds, during further penetration of the mandrel. These off times and on times are adjusted for specific field conditions.
The pulsing of the hydraulic fracturing fluid thus allows the mandrel to penetrate into virgin soil during the off period through crowding pressures applied by the carrier, thus sealing the bottom part of the mandrel against the surrounding soil. Also, during this period, any fluid in the annular space surrounding the hollow mandrel 30 will have time to drain and the soil further up the mandrel will again come into contact with the mandrel, thus resealing at a higher level. Thus if the on-time is maintained short, fracturing will occur before this newly established seal is broken.
These hydraulic fracturing pipes 56 may also be used in conjunction with any conventional hollow mandrels used in the industry and are not confined exclusively for use with the unique mandrel 30 illustrated.
In the arrangement illustrated in
In addition, the hydraulic fluid being ejected from nozzles 55 may be under such pressures and directed whereby jetting action of the fracture fluid is created. In this instance, the nozzles 55 would be smaller and would perform as fluid jets. The fluid is in this instance delivered at a very high pressure of for example from 1,000 to 10,000 psi at a relatively low volume. This jetting action will actually penetrate or cut into the soil to a designated radial distance thus providing an effective preferred drainage channel in the surrounding soil. Additional fracturing beyond this radial distance may also occur an directed in a radial pattern outward from the tip of the probe 25 to create radial fissures or cavities.
As a further alternative, proppants may be suspended in the fracture fluid to aid in maintaining the fractures opened. However, one problem that occurs in this instance is that the propping agent or abrasive can quickly erode the jet orifices of nozzles 55. In order to avoid this situation, the structure of
Chemicals, which undergo a chemical reaction with water or soil, may also be dissolved or suspended in the fracture fluid. One particularly promising approach in this regard would be to use a slurry of unslaked lime as the fracture fluid or jetting fluid. Experience is shown that unslaked lime reacts with clay materials forming materials with permeabilities 500 to 1,000 times that of the undisturbed soil (Broms, B. B. and P. Boman, "Lime Columns—A New Foundation Method," Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, ASCE, Vol. 105, No. GT 4, April 1979).
Turning next to the structure illustrated in
This system provides a vertical drain that is installed with uniformly spaced radial drainage appendages or arms in the form of the ribbons 74. The ribbon 74 is fabricated in rolls and is fed down through the hollow interior 71 of fin 70 to terminate at the respective sacrificial anchor plates or lost anchors 75 as shown. The ribbons 74 are pulled back upwardly until the respective lost anchor 75 rest against the bottom of the fins 70. The anchor plates 75 thus prevent mud or soil from entering the hollow chamber 71 containing the ribbons 74. The probe, together with its interior earth drain, is installed as usual as previously explained.
After the probe 28 penetrates to the desired depth it is then withdrawn as with normal installation. The lost anchors 75 stay in the ground and anchor the radial drainage material in the form of ribbons 74 and the central drain, as previously explained, is also retained in the ground by sacrificial plate 35. When the mandrel 30 is withdrawn from the ground, the radial drainage material or ribbons are cut and reattached with fresh anchor plates 75 along with a new central drain pipe 10 and the installation process is repeated for the next drain.

Sweet Pea Cheese
Great cheese and milk
By: Laura Harthan (Aug 23, 2013)
The cheese and milk from Sweet Pea is absolutely wonderful - lots of fantastic flavors, and several varieties of cheese. Their milk all comes from animals housed at the farm, and you can see the cheese processing room and into the milking parlor right from where they sell the cheese and milk. Their animals are healthy and happy, and the people there are some of the best you'll ever meet.
