The Red Sox got out of debt with one big hand. Now is not the time to push the chips back into the middle of the table. When FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Wednesday that the Twins placed Joe Mauer on trade waivers, everyone immediately looked in the Red Sox' direction. They're the guys with the extra cash flow, and everyone wants to know how they're going to spend their newfound riches. But while the Red Sox could realistically afford (financially) to make any move now that they've gotten rid of the hefty contracts of Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and...

This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/936,665 filed Sep. 24, 1997, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,888,273 which claims the priority of U.S. provisional patent application Serial No. 60/026,918 filed Sep. 25, 1996, and which are both incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the purification of a constituent gas and also to the generation and the subsequent separation and purification of a constituent gas from a mixed gas flow. More specifically, the present invention relates to the generation of hydrogen or purification of hydrogen from a mixture containing hydrogen. The apparatus utilizes one or more gas extraction membrane for removing hydrogen or other extractable gas from a mixed gas flow.
The common technology for extracting gases such as hydrogen from industrial streams, for use in the electronics industry for hydrogenation or for changing the balance of hydrogen in those streams is to use membranes. The membranes are disposed in a housing. A mixed gas flow is conducted to the housing wherein the extraction occurs. Extracted gas (such as hydrogen) is preferentially extracted through the membranes and exits through an outlet port. A second outlet allows for the exhaust of raffinate out of the chamber, Examples of such chambers are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,205,841, and 4,468,235.
Many protocols require the mixed gas to be at elevated temperatures. In such cases, heat is lost from the housing, through the housing walls or carried away with the extracted gas, thereby resulting in the loss of thermal efficiency of this system. Furthermore, heating methods currently in use tend to produce large thermal gradients, with the gas extraction membrane often being heated excessively in some areas and being under heated in other areas. The result of this is decreased flow rates and/or damage to the membranes. Johnson Matthey, Ltd., as used a system of multiple heaters and temperature controllers, but this approach is energy inefficient and does not control the temperature much better than the single heater as the multiple controllers often fight one another.
Raffinate flow control and safety are also problems with the currently available purification and generation systems. The inventor has observed an input gas explosion during hot start up. Similarly, explosive conditions can result from a cool down in air when the module, full of combustible gas, sucks air in through the raffinate port. In either case, an explosive mixture of air and gas mixture suddenly contacts a hot membrane and thus creates a serious danger. This danger is all the more severe if the present invention is used as a hydrogen generator to fuel a fuel cell, e.g., to run a car, because of the demanding operating environment and the variety of mechanical talent, and the desire for a unit than can be turned on or off instantly.
Pure gas suck-back can also ruin a membrane if the sucked-back gas has already been mixed with a component, like arsine, that can poison the membrane. Purified hydrogen is mixed with arsine in the manufacture of semiconductors.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a high temperature gas purification system including a housing, a gas heating means for heating a mixed gas flow within the housing and a gas extraction means for selectively passing therethrough a constituent gas from the mixed gas flow. An annulus surrounds the housing for insulating the housing by circulating the incoming mixed gas flow about the housing and then injecting the mixed gas flow into the housing for extraction by the gas extraction means. A second annulus is optionally provided to enhance the transfer of heat from the extracted gas to the incoming mixture.
The heating means includes a heating chamber disposed within the housing and in thermal contact with the gas extraction means. Alternatively, the heat is applied from outside of the annulus. The heat can be electrical, or steam, and includes the possibility of providing a fluid conduit for conducting raffinate from the gas extraction means to the heating chamber. In this case, the heating chamber contains a catalyst for reacting the raffinate (e.g., with air) to generate heat within the heating chamber. This set-up is particularly useful if the invention is used as a hydrogen generator, e.g., as a methanol or ethanol reformer, when combined with a suitable catalyst within the housing.
The housing includes an outlet for releasing raffinate mixed gas flow therethrough and flow restricting means of controlling raffinate movement out of the housing.
Other advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a gas purification system constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of a gas purification system farther including a conduit for recirculating raffinate air into the heating chamber of the system;
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of a third embodiment of a gas purification system constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of a fourth embodiment of the present invention which includes flat sheet membranes; and
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of a fifth embodiment of the present invention suited for generating hydrogen from methanol and water.
An apparatus for extracting a gas, preferably hydrogen, from a mixed gas flow containing a constituent gas to be separated is generally shown at 10 in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 shows a variant of the invention wherein like parts are shown by primed-like numbers. Extraction of a constituent gas from a mixed gas flow using the instant invention is typically facilitated by elevated temperatures. Temperatures in the range of between about 70� C. and 700� C. are useful in promoting increased diffusion rates and catalyst activity. With the use of elevated temperature systems, heat management becomes an important factor in the efficient operation of the gas purification system of the instant invention.
The operation of an apparatus of the instant invention at an elevated temperature poses minimal safety hazards under start-up or shut-down conditions owing to operation of a flow restricting means to lessen the seepage of atmospheric air into the apparatus. Without the innovation of the instant invention, during start-up, the presence of air in contact with gases, such as hydrogen at increasing temperatures as the apparatus reaches steady state operating temperature and pressure is an explosion hazard. A similar, hazard exists upon shut-down. In the instant invention a flow restricting means restricts the back flow of external gas, such as atmospheric air from entering the apparatus and only allows the unidirectional movement of gas out of the apparatus. The flow restricting means illustratively includes a frit, a plenum or check valve. Preferably, a frit or check valve is adapted as a flow restricting means. With the frit or check valve closing in response to a pressure within the apparatus decreasing below a pre-selected threshold.
Generally, a gas purification system 10 of the present invention includes a housing shown generally at 12, the housing having a substantially annular side wall 14 and top and bottom walls 16 and 18, respectively. The shape of the housing 12 is not critical with regard to the various aspects of the present invention.
The housing 12 includes a gas heating means in the form of a heating chamber 20 which is shown in FIG. 1. Heating means are well known in the art and illustratively include, electrical heating, such as an electrical cartridge heater or a combustion source which are readily disposed within the chamber 20 to heat a mixed gas flow within the housing 12. Alternatively, a furnace or heating tape is provided surrounding the apparatus 10.
Preferably, the housing is 1.0 to 4 inches in diameter. The heating chamber 20 is approximately 0.25 to 3.0 inch in diameter. It is appreciated that these dimensions and the ratio therebetween are readily modified to accommodate different throughput requirements and heat management efficiencies of scale.
The assembly 10 includes a gas extraction means for making an extraction from the mixed gas flow. The system employs a single coiled membrane 22 or 22′, multiple coiled membranes, 22″, or multiple straight membranes 22′″ or 22″″ Representative membrane designs of the instant invention are shown in FIGS. 1 through 5. For hydrogen extraction, the membranes of the instant invention preferably consist of a hydrogen extractable material selected from: palladium-coated refractory metals, or alloys of refractory metals, polymers, palladium-silver, palladium-copper, porous metals, silica, and ceramics. The tubes generally have a diameter of 0.020 to 0.25 inches.
An insulating gas annulus 24 surrounds the housing 12 in order to insulate the housing 12. This is accomplished by the annulus 24 circulating the mixed gas flow about the housing 12 and then injecting the mixed gas flow into the housing 12 for extraction by the gas extraction membrane 22. More specifically, the annulus 24 is in the form of a jacket about the wall 14 of the housing 12. Preferably, the annulus forms a hollow cavity 0.03 to 0.2 inches in thickness, about the housing outside wall 14 and the inner surface of the outside wall 28. The annulus 24 includes an inlet 30 for the entry of the mixed gas flow there into and a communicating portal 32, the mixed gas flow exiting the portal is contacted with the extraction membrane 22. A passageway 36 is provided for removal of the extracted constituent gas.
Preferably, the mixed gas flow inlet 30 and portal 32, into and out of the annulus 24, respectively, are on opposite sides and opposite ends of the housing 12. In this manner, mixed gas flow entering through the inlet 30 flows circuitously about, around and effectively jackets the housing wall 14 prior to exiting from the annulus through the portal 32 and contacting an extraction tube 22. In this manner, the housing wall 14 is simultaneously insulated by the jacketing gas within the annulus 24 while the mixed gas flow within the annulus 24 is preheated prior to entering the extraction membrane 22. Thus, the flow through the annulus 24 serves to preheat the incoming mixed gas flow with heat that would be lost in the environment and/or would go out with the purified hydrogen via the passageway 36. Thus, configured, annulus 24 serves to preheat the mixed gas flow while conserving energy within the system. A particularly effective form of this annulus is shown in FIG. 5, where the annulus 24″″ is extended and set opposite a second annulus 50 in which flows the exiting purified constituent gas. These two annuli serve as a form of curved 'flat-plate' heat exchanger, greatly improving the thermal behavior of the system.
The assembly 10 optionally includes a flow restricting means for controlling raffinate mixed gas flow out of the housing 12. The flow restricting means is preferably in the form of a flow restricting frit or check valve disposed proximate to or within the outlet channel 34 of the gas extracting membrane 22. An example of such a flow restricting frit is a porous metal flow restrictor (Mott Metallurgical Corporation, Connecticut, USA). The flow restrictor 38 provides a measure of internal raffinate flow control, improving safety, making small units simpler to build and larger units easier to operate. Optionally, a flow restrictor is adopted to fit within the passageway 36 to prevent backflow into the housing 12.
One of these safety features is serving as a flame arrester so that a fire in the raffinate cannot bum back into the purifier membrane 22 and also so that fire in the purifier membrane 22 cannot shoot out of the gas discharge outlet 34. A second safety feature, operative in the case of a hot start up or sudden shut down, the flow restrictor 38 prevents the sudden contact of explosive mixture with a hot extraction membrane 22. It is appreciated in those aspects of the instant invention having multiple gas extraction membranes contained within a single housing that an added measure of control and therefore safety is attained by butting each such membrane with a separate frit or check valve to each membrane or butting each separate membrane to an exhaust tube that contains a frit or valve therein. Such an exhaust tube entering an outlet channel by way of a manifold or each such exhaust tube leading to the exterior of the apparatus housing.
A system 10′, in FIG. 2, is shown to include fluid conducting means in the form of conduit 40 for conducting raffinate mixed gas flow from the gas extraction membrane 22′ to the heating chamber 20′. The heating chamber 20′ contains a catalyst, shown schematically at 42, which promotes an exothermic reaction (e.g., burning) of the raffinate mixed gas flow to generate heat within the heating chamber 20′.
With specific regard to the mixed gas flow containing hydrogen, the catalyst 42 can be selected from the group consisting of mixed oxides of palladium, platinum, and rhodium. A catalyst from this group combines oxygen from the air with hydrogen and other combustible gases in the raffinate flow to generate heat. Further, the housing 12′ includes a vent 46 or feed tube 47 (FIG. 5) in fluid communication between the heating chamber 20′ and an exterior of the housing 12′ for allowing fluid flow of air into the heating chamber 20′ for reacting with the raffinate bleed on the catalyst 42 to generate heat within the heating chamber 20′. Heat is generated within the heating chamber 20′ when it is filled with the appropriate catalyst 42 and is presented with the raffinate bleed via the conduit 40 and the outlet channel 34′, the raffinate containing hydrogen plus impurities, and with air that counter diffuses in through the top vent 46 or which enters under pressure through the feed tube 47. Thus, the heating chamber 20′ is heated with a limited requirement of any external energy being expended possibly for start-up and temperature control.
The vent 46 is in the form of a mesh or a tube which keeps the catalyst 42 in place, and allows reaction products e.g., water and carbon dioxide to leave the heating chamber 20′. Alternatively, a controllable mechanism monitors and controls the amount of oxygen entering the heating chamber 20′. Such an active control vent is regulated by a thermal, pressure or like feed back mechanism.
The above described heating method is most appropriate for use with 60% to 90% hydrogen mixed gas flow sources. Examples of such sources are petrochemical fuel-gas streams, and the products of methanol, ethanol, or petroleum-water reforming. A flow restrictor 38′ is preferred in combination with the system of the instant invention. Without such a restrictor 38′ careful control of the raffinate flow is required, else a flame may shoot out of the catalytic combustor (the heating chamber 20′). Further, a restrictor can prevent very hot air from being drawn back into the device when the flow is turned off. This drawn back air may lead to an explosion. Hence, the addition of the restrictor 38′ in combination with the recycling raffinate/catalyst heating mechanism of the instant invention provides a safe and efficient heating system.
In the invention as shown in FIG. 1, a mixed gas flow enters the annulus 24 through the inlet 30 and effectively jackets the housing wall 14 thereby insulating the housing 12. Simultaneously, the mixed gas flow within the annulus 24 is preheated prior to entering the core of the gas extraction membrane 22. The mixed gas flow enters the gas extraction membrane portal 32 and hydrogen gas is extracted from the mixed gas flow and exits through passageway 36. The raffinate mixed gas flow exits the extraction tube 22 through outlet channel 34, the flow of which is controlled by the restrictor 38. As shown in FIG. 2, the mixed gas flow circulates through the conduit 40 into the heating chamber 20′ so as to react with ambient air entering through the passageway 46 so as to react on the catalyst 42 to generate heat.
Thus, the present invention further provides a method for purifying gas at high temperatures by heating the mixed gas flow within the housing 12 and making an extraction from the gas. The method further includes the steps of insulating the housing 12 by circulating the mixed gas flow about the housing 12 and injecting the mixed gas flow into the housing. By injecting, it is meant that the pressure head of the mixed gas flow entering the annulus 24 forces the mixed gas flow through the portal 32 into the extraction membranes 22.
The instant invention optionally further includes the steps of conducting the raffinate mixed gas flow from the housing 12′ to the heating chamber 20′ and reacting the mixed gas flow on the catalyst 42 within the heating chamber 20′ to generate heat within the heating chamber 20′.
This step involves the entrance of raffinate via conduit 40, the entrance of a second reactant, e.g., air by vent 46 (FIG. 2) or an inlet tube into the heating chamber 20′ for reacting on the catalyst 42 to generate heat into the heating chamber and the venting of products via 46. An electric heater, 100 is optionally provided for start up of the system of the instant invention (FIG. 5).
The annulus 24 of the present, invention is a more effective insulating layer than a stagnate gas because the continuous flow provides feed heating that would otherwise have to be provided by some other heating source. In the end, this improves temperature uniformity and reduces the heat loss to the environment. For a proper choice of annulus size, the annulus combined with a thermal insulating blanket is more effective at conserving heat than a thermal blanket alone. The flow through this layer preheats the incoming gas with heat that would be lost in the environment and/or would be carried away with pure hydrogen.
FIG. 3 shows two spiral tubes 22″ functionally in combination. Again, double primed numerals are used to indicate like structure between the several illustrative figures. FIG. 3 illustrates the use of multiple tubes, the number of the tubes depending upon factors including the interior space of the housing 12″. The increase in tube number increases throughput. Thusly, a predetermined size housing 12″ can include multiple gas extraction membranes and thereby increase productivity and effectively decrease costs. It is further appreciated that each of multiple tube arrangement is optionally configured with an individual flow restrictor for each tube (not shown).
In FIG. 4 like structures between the several embodiments are shown as triple primed numerals. In FIG. 4, the present invention is shown to include an annulus 24′″, and a flow restrictor 38′″ in combination with multiple straight gas extraction tubes 22′″. Such an embodiment has numerous applications for the extraction of constituent gases other than hydrogen. Certain ceramic membranes cannot be coiled but are nonetheless operative as extraction membranes in the present invention. Hence, the flexibility of the present invention is demonstrated in the application of gas extraction membranes other than spiral metal membranes. Likewise, the embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 4 is. operative with the fluid conducting means discussed above for conducting raffinate mixed gas flow from the gas extraction tubes to the heating chamber of reaction catalysts to generate beat within the heating chamber.
The elevated temperature of operation and the pressure gradients associated with gas membrane extraction may induce deformation of the membrane 22′″. In embodiments of the instant invention, such as that depicted in FIG. 4, where a mixed gas flow is simultaneously in contact with the interior of the housing 12′″ and a membrane 22′″, there is a likelihood of membrane collapse, owing to the mixed gas flow pressure exerted on a membrane. To prevent such deformation a coiled support is optionally inserted within a membrane (not shown). The coil support preferably has a pitch of less than about 30�, larger pitch angles do not provide adequate stiffening properties. More preferably, the pitch angle is between 3� and 25�. The coiled support is constructed of a material having a higher rigidity and tensile strength than the membrane in operation. Furthermore, the support is not reactive towards a constituent gas, under operation temperatures of the instant invention. For extraction of constituent gases other than hydrogen, membrane materials specific to the constituent gas are selected from those known to the art, either alone, or coated to increase gas extraction efficiency.
In FIG. 5, the present invention is shown with an annulus 24″″ that is extended to enhance recovery from the extracted constituent gas as it flows through a second annulus 50. In FIG. 5, four primed numerals indicate like structure between the several figures. Further, included is a reforming catalyst, 44. The reforming catalyst allows the module to accept organic feeds directly. For example, a mixed flow of methanol and water or of ethanol and water illustratively serves as feed stock. The mixture is heated in the annulus, vaporized, and contacts the catalyst, 44, thereby generating hydrogen. The hydrogen is then purified through the membranes 22″″ and collected at 36″″. The raffinate is then combusted at 20″″. Preferably, the raffinate is combusted on the combustion catalyst 42″″, providing the heat to maintain the reaction. In FIG. 5, a membrane reactor 10″″ is built with flow restrictor 38″″ and annulus 24″″ for generating hydrogen, preferably from an alcohol and water mixture or from a gasoline and steam mixture. A methanol (or other) reforming catalyst 44 is disposed within the housing 12″″ and adjacent to the extraction tubes 22″″. Hydrogen is formed e.g., by the reaction MeOH+H2O→3H2+CO. Much of the hydrogen is collected at the annulus 50, where it is cooled and fed to the exit passageway 36″″, the remainder is vented to combustion within the heating chamber 20″″ along with non-reacted components CO, CO2, alcohol and H2O. Hence, this system includes two different catalysts. A first catalyst is the methanol reforming catalyst 44 for generating hydrogen from methanol and water. Ideally, this first catalyst also operates as a water-gas shifter catalyzing the reaction CO+H2O→CO2+H2. A second catalyst is contained within the heating chamber 20″″, as discussed in detail above, for generating heat within the chamber.
The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

Speakerfile CEO Peter Evans to Speak at Digital Book World in New York City
Digital Book World 2013 will be exploring a vital topic today, addressing a key question for publishers-how much should they rely on startups and other industry outsiders to transform or reinvent the publishing industry? This comes after a wave of startups have emerged over the past few years that are promising to revolutionize the business.
Peter Evans , CEO of Speakerfile, takes the stage at Digital Book World 2013 along with fellow panelists Dominique Raccah , CEO and Publisher of Sourcebooks, and Michael Cader , Founder of Publishers Lunch, Publishers Marketplace, and the new Bookateria. Rick Joyce , Chief Marketing Officer of The Perseus Books Group, will be moderating this diverse panel on Driving Innovation in Publishing. Representing a range of viewpoints from publishing to technology startups, the speakers will discuss the quest for the "New New Thing" in books and who should lead the coming revolution.
"Publishing is moving beyond the book. We are entering a world where everyone can be a publisher, which presents challenges to existing players in the industry," said Peter Evans. "Speakerfile is playing a critical role in the discussion about how authors can be discovered and connected to a massive marketplace of conference engagements and media source opportunities. Many publishers are now seeing a book as just one element of an author's overall thought leadership."
Speakerfile is not alone in their view of the changing publishing model. With over 6,000 experts and authors on the platform with expertise on over 12,000 topics, clients across a range of industries as diverse as healthcare, IT, professional services and industry associations all use Speakerfile to publish content related to their experts and authors.
"A year ago, when I met Peter Evans of Speakerfile at Digital Book World 2012, I was impressed with the company's software platform and the way it connects author experts and thought leaders-with their publishers and agents alongside them-to conference organizers and meeting planners. Events and media are eager to find the best possible speakers to inform and engage their audiences and Speakerfile is great at helping make these connections," said Philip Turner, New York-based publishing executive.
"After working the Speakerfile team for the past year, and seeing the publishing clients I've introduced to Speakerfile find an abundance of new speaking engagements for their authors, I am more convinced than ever that Speakerfile is becoming a dynamic engine of discoverability for publishers, bringing authors and their books together with motivated audiences." A publishing industry veteran, Turner has held a number of senior positions with publishers in New York City over the past 25 years, acquiring, editing, and publishing many notable titles including the first paperback edition of Barack Obama 's Dreams From My Father, and Ambassador Joseph Wilson 's The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity. He operates Philip Turner Book Productions and produces the popular blog, The Great Gray Bridge, while also working with Speakerfile as their representative to the publishing industry.

A thistle to Iowans in the U.S. House of Representatives who voted with the majority party Thursday to slash food subsidies for the poor. Although the Congressional Budget Office has pointed out that spending on such things as food stamps is not what's really driving deficits (that would be entitlements like Medicare and Medicaid), House Republicans have for some reason made the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) enemy No. 1. They initially proposed cutting $20 billion over a decade but upped that to $40 billion. This is expected to eliminate or reduce the $1.40-per-meal ...

After a failed attempt to secure public funds for stadium renovations, the Miami Dolphins' brass has focused their attention on bids for Super Bowl 50 and 51. And they're sure thinking way out of the box. According to Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post, the Dolphins want to place a U.S. navy aircraft carrier in downtown Miami -- aptly titled "Super Bowl Park" -- and play a football game on the deck. The carrier would come retrofitted with a full 120-yard field. "I imagine they'll be playing touch football on it, not tackle," Volin quipped. NBCMiami.com reports the plan also includes "an interactive video exhibit and extensive transportation plan that includes a water shuttle and railroad that would drop people off near the park." "We've submitted the best bid that we can in every aspect," Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said. "From a Dolphins perspective, we're doing every thing we can." Everything but thinking logically, it seems.

By JEFF MEZYDLO, STATS Senior WriterA season-high five-game losing streak might not be the only major concern facing the Texas Rangers.Back spasms could keep slugger Josh Hamilton out of the lineup Saturday night when the AL West-leading Rangers look to get back on track against the visiting Minnesota Twins.The leading vote-getter for next week's All-Star game, Hamilton is considered day to day after he injured his back when he dropped a fly ball at the warning track in the fifth inning of Texas' 5-1 loss to Minnesota on Friday. He left the game in the bottom of the frame after going 0 for 2.The health of Hamilton is merely the latest issue facing the Rangers (50-34), who have hit .209 and been outscored 34-9 during their five-game skid. The two-time reigning AL champions have not dropped six in a row since April 15-21, 2010."We hit a funk," manager Ron Washington said.

Oakland Raiders (4-10) at Carolina Panthers (5-9) One of my favorite trends is the six and six trend, which says that teams who finish with 6 wins or fewer are 23-64 ATS since 2002 as favorites of 6 or more. So far this year, teams that are currently 5-9 or worse are 2-5 ATS as favorites of 6 or more this season. The Eagles failed to cover week 1 as 8.5 point favorites in Cleveland. The Lions failed to cover as 6 point home favorites against the Rams week 1, then again as 7 point home favorites against the Colts a few weeks back, and then once again in Arizona last week as 7 point road favorites last week. The Raiders failed to cover as home favorites of 6 against the Jaguars earlier this year. The Bills and Browns covered as 6 point home favorites against the Jaguars and Browns respectively recently. I didn't go against the Eagles week 1 because there was really no way to know they'd be this bad. I went against the Lions week 1, but for different reasons. I went against the Raiders...

April Berntson was among the top finishers for Valley City High School at the Packer Relays Friday in West Fargo. Berntson took sixth in the 1,600 as the Hi-Liner girls took 11th of the 13 teams at the meet with five points. The Hi-Liner boys did not score at the meet.
The West Fargo High School softball team is, simply, among the elite softball teams locally.
"They're pretty much undefeated in North Dakota for two years now, at least," Valley City High School coach Jason Lindgren. "I bet they don't have five losses all together in those two years."
It's a record that could strike fear into many opponents, but will be a welcome challenge against the Hi-Liners Tuesday when the teams play a one-point game at 4:30 p.m. at the Valley City State University softball complex.
With plenty of games played in a short time, tournaments have a way of testing teams.
So by the end of the Valley City Junior High Invitational softball tournament, the hosting Hi-Liners were simply drained.
"We played right away at 9 a.m., then we had an hour off," Valley City coach Lucas Potter said. "After that it was one game we won, another game we won, so by the time that third game hits, what are you going to do?"
Photo Stacy Wendel/Special to the Times-Record
The Valley City State University softball team finished the season with the second highest win total in program history, and Wednesday, some of the team's key players received individual recognition for their efforts throughout the year.
VCSU seniors Katie McBride, Jane Pettit and Cyndi Figol, along with junior Adrianna Boychuk, were named to the Dakota Athletic Conference All-Conference team.
The Valley City junior varsity track teams were in Fargo Thursday for the Davies Junior Varsity Invitational.
The boys finished in fifth place at the meet and the girls took third.
The only Hi-Liner to win an event was Tia Wagar, who won the 3,200 meter relay, but the team also had success from Barbra Zubrod, who took second place in the 800 and 1,600 meter runs; Jamie Ronning, who took third in the 800, and the 4x100 relay team, which took third.
In a doubleheader split with Fargo South Thursday, the Valley City Junior High baseball team had plenty of reasons it could have gotten down on itself.
For one, until the Hi-Liners had a walk-off hit to win the first game 4-3 in six innings, they never held a lead.
Then, in the second game, the team allowed six runs in the top of the first inning.
But in both situations, the Hi-Liners simply kept swinging the bat, playing defense, and generally having fun.
The result were two close games — a 5-3 win in six innings, and a 9-6 loss.

Respond to Review of Terra Sana
by Beanie779
Review: My boyfriend and I went here a couple of times and thought it was an absolutely great restaurant. The stuff were amazingly friendly and the food was also fantastic. Vegetarian and vegan options were clearly marked on the menu and the staff spoke a fair bit of English so ordering was a breeze. We also received some free coffee at the end of our meal which I thought was really great of them. Like I said, the food was really great, if we ever went to Malaga again I would definitely go here again.

July 6, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Associated Press has learned that a
congressional hearing involving Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and former trainer Brian McNamee has been postponed. A lawyer involved
in the hearing says the House Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform is informing witnesses that the January 16th session will be
pushed back.
But plans are still in place for a January 15th hearing before the same committee about the Mitchell Report on baseball's Steroids Era. Scheduled witnesses that day include commissioner Bud Selig, union leader Donald Fehr and former Senate majority leader George Mitchell, the report's author.
Plenty has happened since that committee arranged the second hearing.
Clemens filed a defamation lawsuit Sunday against McNamee, who told Mitchell he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone in 1998, 2000 and 2001. A TV interview with Clemens aired, and the pitcher also held a news conference and played a recording of a 17-minute telephone conversation he had with McNamee.

High Adventure 2015...
Troop 342 will once again take on 70 miles of the Green River in Utah, for the 2015 High Adventure Activity.
Scouts ages 14 & above will have the opportunity to see one of the most scenic rivers in the United States and experience the
canoeing adventure of a lifetime! But that's not all! Ask one of the experienced leaders about the drive down the canyon to
Mineral Bottoms. An experience in itself!
The 2014 Troop 342 Yard Sale was a Rousing Success!
Now in its 22nd consecutive year, this year's gigantic Yard Sale broke records for stuff sold and income earned! The proceeds of this event are used for Troop scholarships, activity subsidies, awards, capital expenses and maintenance of Troop equipment. We had 2½ semi-trailer loads packed to the ceiling with collectibles, antiques, tools, furniture.... you name it, we had it! Enjoy the pictures of this year's event!
This is the Greatest Show on Earth!
Troop 342 was able to secure a slot at the famed Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, New Mexico, for an 80-mile+ high adventure backpack activity. The opportunity only happens every 4-5 years, so we truly feel fortunate to have secured a trek this year!
Cycling Merit Badge
Wellington Lake:
Platte River:
Hardy Scouts braved frigid temperatures and high winds to ride the mountains and city paths to complete their Cycling Merit Badge. Six rides total,
exceeding 150 miles. The last 50 miles completed in less than 8 hours. Shown here are the rides at Wellington lake, a combination of trail and road;
and the ride along the Platte River, beginning in Lakewood and going through downtown Denver.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 1/15/13
Denver Broncos president John Elway told reporters that they intend to pick up their two-year, $40 million (total) option on quarterback Peyton Manning's contract, according to ESPN. This is hardly surprising given how things went for them in 2012, but it's still a considerable amount of money to be paying anyone. "I don't think he's going anywhere," team owner Pat Bowlen said. "I got more than I expected." Manning led the Broncos to securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC, ripping off 11 straight wins during the regular season. The signal-caller put together a compelling argument for the MVP award this year, but couldn't get past the Ravens in the divisional round of the postseason. The post Broncos Intend to Pick Up Option on QB Peyton Manning's Contract appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Nicholas Tse plays a special agent from a police force known as 2002. He, however, is not an ordinary police officer and has the ability to see ghosts. In the beginning Tse's partner is Sam Lee, however it is Sam's time to reincarnate and so a new partner must be found. The new partner comes in the form of Stephen Fung, who can also see ghosts. Fung (apart from being afraid of ghosts) thinks it is great being the partner of Nicholas Tse and everything runs smoothly until Fung finds out that the unit only operates in human-ghost partnerships in order to continue working for 2002 one must die.

I remember the guy i bought it from said that there were some leaky valve seals. is this most likely the problem and if so is it a pain to fix. Also where can i find a kickstand for her? Also cleaning the carburetor would probably help her run more smoothly.
Thanks for helpin out a NOOB
I would definitely clean the carb and maybe replace the gas if it is old. I've seen old gas put out blue smoke, though not a ton.
The valves on the XT are relatively easy to get at if you are handy with tools. It is possible to remove the top end from the bike with the engine bolted in, but it is a very VERY tight fit. You have to take the gas tank off. Then I loosened the cam cover and slid it out over the cam chain with some coaxing. It seems like it won't clear the frame and cam, but with a little puzzle solving skills it does
I admittedly haven't gone farther than that, having no consumption issues at this point. I went that deep to service the cam chain itself when we thought it had skipped.
Whether or not the valve seals are the issue stands to be seen. I'd say replace the gas, and clean the carbs good and see if the smoke cleans up. I mean, it is the cheapest and easiest thing to do first, and it never hurts to clean the carbs. If it doesn't then I'd dive into the valve seals, and maybe pull the cylinder to look for worn/bad rings or piston wall damage.
Also, I haven't looked into it, but maybe see if XT500/XT350 kickstands are the same from around those years.

EDINBURG, Texas (AP) - Jabari Peters scored 24 points and Kaheem Ransom added 23 on Friday night to help Sam Houston State top Texas-Pan American 77-73.
Paced by Justin Leathers, who scored 12 points and had six rebounds, the Broncs led for most of the first half until Peters hit one of his 3-pointers and sparked a Bearkat run that tied the game at 29 at the half.
Ransom sank a pair of free throws early in the second half for a 57-43 lead, the biggest of the game for the Bearkats. But the Broncs fought back, trimming the deficit to 72-71 with 18 seconds left before Peters and Ransom iced the win with free throws.

Guinea scrambles to contain deadly Ebola outbreak
Published on Mar 24, 2014 7:48 PM
CONAKRY (AFP) - Aid workers and medics battled on Monday to contain west Africa's first outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus as tests on suspected cases in Conakry allayed fears that it had spread to the capital.
More than 60 people have died in an outbreak of the virulent virus raging through Guinea's southern forests but tests on three haemorrhagic fever cases - two of them fatal - in Conakry were negative, the government said.
"The Pasteur Institute in Dakar worked urgently all last night on samples taken from suspected cases here in Conakry which were all negative," said Sakoba Keita, the health ministry's chief disease prevention officer.
"So for now, there's no Ebola in Conakry, but haemorrhagic fever whose nature remains to be determined."

Ohio State Senior
40: 4.85e
Shows good strength and power when working on the edge. Shows a very good bull rush when working against either the tackle or guard. Shows ability to beat tackle with an inside swim move and flashes some burst to close on the QB. Has a decent first step and is able to get upfield and be disruptive. Has the strength to hold up inside and get leverage against the run at the point of attack. Has a good motor and is able to give chase and work laterally down the line to make plays in pursuit. Is a nice athlete that does a nice job getting his hands up and batting down passes.
He is a bit of a one-note pass rusher, relying on his power and bull rush to beat blocker. Needs to improve his technique and hand usage to be a more consistent bull rusher. He needs to ddevelop more pass rush moves. He lacks the speed to really challenge the corner on the outside. Doesn't really get off blocks too well. Can lose battles at the point of attack and get engulfed by the double team or blown off the ball in short yardage.
Heyward is the son of former NFL player, the late great Craig "Ironhead" Heyward. He is a power player that played both end and tackle in Ohio State's hybrid 3-4/4-3 scheme the past few seasons. He was a four year starter that had pretty consistent production every year. His best season as a pass rusher came as a junior, where he had 6.5 sacks. That total dropped to 3.5 this past year. But overall, he combined for 163 tackles, 37.5 tackles for loss, and 15.5 sacks. He is currently sidelined with an elbow injury he suffered in January, but it is expected to be 100% by the time the season rolls around. He hails from Suwanee, GA.
When I watch Heyward play, i see shades of Richard Seymour. His strength and ability to dominate one on one blockers is why I'm reminded of that. Heyward doesn't get as much love as other defensive ends in this class because he's not a very dynamic pass rusher. But he has the potential to get better there. I'm not sure he'll ever be a great pass rusher, and be more of the type that gets 2-4 sacks. But if he does improve his technique and hands, coupled with his strength, he could be a productive sack guy that could get upwards of 5-8 a year. But he's more of a disruptor than a guy that is a closer like Seymour. But Heyward's true value is his ability to play the run. He needs to get better there, and again, improving his technique will help him do a better job getting off blocks. But he's got the size, bulk, and strength to be a force against the run and in the same way as Seymour and Aaron Smith, very difficult one on one matchups for most NFL guards and tackles. Like Smith, he's probably a guy that isn't going to make a ton of splash plays, but his ability to stuff the run and disrupt the passing lanes and free up his teammates should make him a real asset for any defense. He fits best in a 3-4 scheme of course, but can get looks in a 4-3 scheme at defensive tackle. But he's not as effective when playing inside against guys that can match his strength. He's a work in progress, and even if he makes no improvement from this point on he should be a good pro like Antonio Smith, but has the upside to be one of the premier 3-4 ends in the league like a Seymour or Smith.
Heyward isn't a great fit here in Atlanta unless the Falcons forsee him as an effort interior player. He could replace Anderson on the outside as a left end and play on running downs. But his primary long-term value in Atlanta is probably to bulk up and play defensive tackle. He wouldn't be a great interior pass rusher, and probably only be a threat to give the team 2-3 sacks a year, but he could potentially develop into a nice run stopper. But again, in a 4-3 scheme, Heyward's upside is limited and he's more of a role player than an impact guy because quicker, more explosive ends and tackles will eventually come along.
For a 3-4 team looking for a powerful end with upside, Heyward merits a selection in the middle of round one. He has Top 15 potential.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 4.0
Quickness: 3.0
Pass Rush: 2.5
Point Of Attack: 3.5
