Young Tiger roars!
——Tagenarine Chanderpaul's half century leads West Indies to victory over New Zealand in warm-up
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, CMC- Tagenarine Chanderpaul compiled a powerful half century to guide West Indies to a comfortable six wicket win over New Zealand in a warm-up match yesterday before the start of their campaign in the ICC Under 19 World Cup here tomorrow.
Chanderpaul rekindled the innings with a top score of 62 allowing West Indies to overhaul the 147 scored by New Zealand who batted first at the Sevens Stadium Pitch 2, Dubai.
The young cricketers from the Caribbean stumbled to seven for the loss of two quick wickets within three balls in the third over after opener Shimron Hetmyer was caught for two and Nicolas Puran was also caught without scoring. But the son of the famous West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, struck seven fours and brought his side back on course featuring in two half century partnerships before he was forced to retire hurt.
Chanderpaul teamed up with Jeremy Solozana in a third wicket stand that produced 66 runs, resurrecting the chase from two for seven to three for 73.
Solozana scored 35 which included five fours.
A second partnership for the fourth wicket between the young Guyanese batsman and Jonathan Drakes yielded 50 runs.
Drakes, who hit four boundaries, scored 28 while Brandon King was unbeaten on 16 as West Indies cruised to 151 for four.
Earlier, captain Ramaal Lewis led a bowling attack that created all sorts of problems for the young New Zealand players who lost their first three wickets with only 54 runs on the board.
Resistance in the middle of the innings offered hope in the form of a 46-run, fourth wicket stand between Robert O'Donnell and Shawn Hicks.
O'Donnell top scored with 31, Hicks scored 27 while Tim Seifert added 23, the main contributors as the last six wickets tumbled for the addition of 47 runs.
Lewis finished with three for 26, Charles 2-9 and McSween 2-24
On Monday, West Indies Under 19s scored a comprehensive nine wicket victory over Afghanistan Under 19s in a warm-up game.
West Indies begin their campaign in the ICC Under 19 World Cup against South Africa in Dubai tomorrow.

The global warming alarmists in the liberal media always latch on to events and blame them on climate change. It's their regular M.O. But recent reports claiming climate change was responsible for drowning five Pacific Islands misrepresented the science.
This irritated Dr. Simon Albert, a researcher at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Queensland, one of the scientists whose paper was "misrepresented by alarmists," according to Breitbart London.
ABCNews.com claimed on May 9, "Five Solomon Islands Disappear Into the Pacific Ocean as a Result of Climate Change."

I don't normally write about social issues, but with so much media coverage and hundreds of articles written about the assault on free speech from students at the University of Missouri, Yale, Claremont, and other colleges, I wanted to make a connection. From objections about Halloween costumes, to the right to a "safe place," to shouting down speakers they don't agree with, to a hundred other "micro-aggressions," today's college students are being called "cry bullies" for wielding their victim status like an axe.

When It Comes to Engaging the Culture, Will We Ever Need to Draw a Line?
The Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case has brought Christian cultural engagement back into the limelight. There have been some wild blog posts and other responses in light of the announcement – a shocking number completely hysterical. But we need to remember that while the Supreme Court sided with Hobby Lobby, the wider culture is moving in a different direction. As Ed Stetzer reported after the ruling, "A LifeWay Research study conducted in November of 2012, shows most Americans support mandatory contraception coverage through ObamaCare. In other words,
Should we Boycott, Protest, or Engage Secular Culture?
Karen Covell, Director of the Hollywood Prayer Network had an interesting conversation with an employee of a major ministry regarding their position on boycotting the entertainment industry. Karen, (like most of us Christians in the entertainment business) prefer to think of boycotts as a completely last resort. It raises plenty of money for fundraising campaigns, but as a strategy to change the culture, it simply rarely works.
But Karen responded to this ministry with such a clear and direct explanation of her position, I thought it worth posting. With Karen's permission, here's her letter:
What Are You Willing to Risk to Inspire Change?
I was in Greensboro, North Carolina recently and visited the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. Located in an old F.W. Woolworth retail store, it's the original site where in 1960, four African-American college freshman sat down at the store's "whites only" lunch counter. I was in first grade in nearby Charlotte when it happened. While it wasn't the first "sit in," it was remarkable for sparking similar nonviolent protests that spread like wildfire throughout the South. As more and more sit-ins happened, people started boycotting stores with whites-only lunch counters. Sales in those stores dropped by a third, prompting the entire
Why Boycotts Rarely Work
Although I obviously recoil at those who trivialize our faith, and sympathize with other Christians who feel offense, I've always been consistently resistant to boycotts – especially when it's about Hollywood – for a number of reasons:
First, if boycotts worked, why don't missionaries do it? Can you imagine surrounding a tribe in a 3rd world country, criticizing them, calling them names, and boycotting them? Would that actually change their behavior? No. The key to success in missions is to develop a relationship of trust, become one of them, and then share your faith. Instead of always criticizing, what if we did that to Hollywood?
Second, I have yet to meet a single person who has accepted Christ as a result of a boycott or petition drive.
Third, as a strategy, boycotts are incredibly risky. In most cases, they backfire and actually work against you. For instance, during the last Christian boycott of Walt Disney Studios, Disney profits actually went up and they experienced record sales.
Fourth, I'm one of thousands of dedicated believers working inside Hollywood trying to make change happen from the inside. When Christians criticize Hollywood from the outside, it makes it very difficult for us to make a difference.
Fifth, "petitions" generated from direct mail campaigns rarely work. Christians in the industry will tell you that when networks receive packages of these orchestrated petitions, they usually toss them in the trash. Want to know what works? Original, individual, considerate letters from concerned viewers. Those letters get noticed.
Sixth, in my experience, boycotts make very little change happen, but they raise a great deal of money for the organizations behind them. For the most part, I believe the real reason for these petition drives and boycotts are simply fundraising strategies.
What do you think? I'd love to know your opinion.
The American Family Association Versus Gap: Why Boycotts are So Often a Bad Idea
The American Family Association has embarrassed themselves again over another boycott – this one against Gap. The Mississippi-based ministry last week issued a boycott against Gap Inc. — the retailing giant whose brands include Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic. They've called for a "two-month boycott over the company's failure to use the word 'Christmas' in its advertising to Christmas shoppers." As the ministry says,
How to Confront the Culture – One More Miracle Theater Post
I fell compelled to write one more post as a result of all the responses to my pointing out the Miracle Theater's full page ad in USA Today. My biggest disappointment is how quickly a discussion like this disintegrates into personal attacks, gossip, and strife. Honestly, I was a little amazed at how much some people got off topic, and raced into areas that mattered very little to the issue at hand. You want my opinion in a single post? Here it is:
It's Time to Focus on Digital Missions
While we spend most of our time exploring the digital media world for entertainment, or the wonderful uses of new mobile devices, we often forget much more significant advances brought about by digital technology. According to The Economist magazine: "Opposition movements around the world are able as never before to swap ideas with citizens of repressive regimes. That is partly because of the ease of digital communication." When I read that piece, I started thinking about how we could

I'm new to fixed gear bikes
I've looked around all the bike stores around San Francisco.
Box Dog, Free Wheel, Pedal Rev, AM Cyclery.
I'm a size 59cm on the pista - it fits literall just right as far as vertical clearance.
Of all the bikes I looked at, the Pista is the cheapest one I could find so I'm leaning towards getting it with one front brake.
I am new to this, so can anybody give me other suggestions? anybody selling a decent bike for a 6 footer? customs are too expensive right? other thoughts? should I really get this bike?

Medicare Enrollment: Should Dentists Opt In or Opt Out?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced on June 1, 2015, a delay in the enforcement of the Medicare Opt-In or Opt-Out requirement to June 1, 2016. The previous date for health care providers to notify the federal government of their Medicare decision was June 1, 2015. The American Dental Association continues to seek a legislative repeal of the requirement that dentists who treat Medicare beneficiaries must opt-in or opt-out of Medicare to prescribe medication to their qualifying patients with Part D drug plans. The GDA created The Medicare Decision Guide for dentists who are navigating this process. Between now and June 1, 2016, dentists may access this updated guide here:

Anyone having troubles with this? Started sometime on Wednesday I think, not able to get ABC channel 5 in HD OTA.
All other OTA channels are working fine. Not sure what to do to fix it.
Yes..it's been out for about 3 days. Their website says "crews are assessing the issue", but doesn't give any more information that that.
Basically, we are all SOL until WOI is able to fix the problem.
Thanks...found that link now...
Digital Transmission Problems
When was the last time you had ABC HD? I think it's been out for me for months, but all the other channels work fine...
We had it this week...first I noticed the outage was Wednesday.
Yeah I noticed this last night. Hopefully fixed by sunday when housewives is on. Now that I think about it, I don't watch any ABC shows right now.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
Having it fixed for tomorrow would be nice.
WOI-TV HD has always ate my balls. I gotta stand in my living room with foil on my arms to get it to come in on a good day.
External DB2 antenna myself, I got ch5 in the upper 90s. I never ever ever ever get pixelization on 5,8,13, or 17. Just need to find the right antenna and run a cable outside.
Agreed,...gotta go with a good antenna. None of the indoor ones are worth a hoot if you ask me. I have a big 110" one on my rooftop in a residential neighborhood right next to my dish and have never had a problem with any OTA HD signals.

Wow, that's not good
I'm not sure if channel 5 HD is different, but their normal over the air signal doesn't travel as well and is more subject to interference due to frequency, or bandwith or something like that.
No problems here either (outside of this current technical difficulty), well, when I switched to the outdoor antenna Brian noted (thanks Brian!)
You mentioned getting channel 5 in the upper 90s...what are you referring to?
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd that with a state-of-the-art television, you have to hook it up to an outdoor antenna to get reception?
Attempting to debate with a person who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to the dead. - Thomas Paine
No doubt, seems odd.
But there's no better quality HD than OTA.

On your tivo/DVR/whatever, you probably have a OTA signal meter. I lock in in the upper 90s.

I've just had a major bug in Azalea Town. When I entered Kurt's house, the emulator's screen gets all weird: it alternates black lines and lines with weird squares and I can't get out. Has anyone encountered this before? I downloaded the game from LaZ's website.
Also, is it just me or the game is way more difficult than before? It took me over half an hour to beat Falkner. In the previous Beta and regular GSC I used to beat that gym without even healing.
One last thing, I was looking for a Wooper on route 32. I killed one by mistake, I then had to search for almost AN HOUR before finding one again! Is it supposed to be that rare?
Except for that, great game! Keep up the good work!

I would like to know why New Bern�s convention center was not flying the American Flag on Memorial Day? This day is for honoring our military and our country. Not flying our flag at this site which is one of the key features of this city is inappropriate, insulting and shameful especially when it has flown every other day of the week. I�m sure there is no shortage of American flags if you needed a new one. So much for our city�s patriotism.

One of the most enjoyable part of being an electronics person is creating your own gadgets and using them in daily life. In this article, we are building one of those with the help of SoloPCB design tools, a digital desk clock with temperature display feature.
The brain of the circuit is a Microchip PIC18F252 microcontroller. It acquires precise time information from DS1307 real time clock via I2C interface and displays it on four digit 38 mm seven-segment display with the help of MAX7219CNG display driver. The temperature data is read by the on-chip ADC module of the microcontroller from LM335 temperature sensor which outputs 10mV per kelvin degree linearly. The temperature data is also displayed periodically.

A 4-year-old Vancouver girl was in critical condition in a Portland hospital Sunday night after nearly drowning about 5 p.m. Sunday at Klineline Pond at Salmon Creek Park.
"She was being watched by her 9-year-old sister who lost track of her," said Clark County sheriff's Sgt. Randon Walker. "We have no idea how long she was underwater."
A bystander spotted the girl face-down in the water and pulled her to shore, said Dawn Johnson with Fire District 6.
Walker said, "An unknown subject did CPR on her," and when deputies arrived the girl was breathing "but did not respond to stimuli."
The child, whose name was not released, was taken to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, then transferred to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, where she was listed in critical condition.
"The damage to her lungs is significant enough that the doctor said he could not predict the outcome for another 24 hours," Walker said.
Walker said the park, where deputies talked to the girl's parents, was packed on Sunday. He added that people in the park said they believed the CPR was performed by a nurse.
Walker said Monday will be another hot day and urged people to use caution around water.

Arrive in San Cristobal where a guide will be waiting to meet you and transfer you to the ship. The first excursion of the trip starts at the Galapagos National Park Interpretation Center provides a complete history of the Galapagos, primarily focusing on its volcanic origins to the present. Tijeretas Hill provides an excellent location to view the bay and the surrounding areas of San Cristobal. Have the chance to observe the magnificent and great frigate birds that wander this area.
Observe unique colonies of marine birds, including albatross, while exploring the stunning landscape of Punta Suarez. Espanola is very isolated from the other islands allowing it to have a high proportion of endemic fauna. Make friends with the whimsical sea lions that inhabit the beach at Gardner Bay. This location is also an important nesting area for sea turtles. Further inland, Nazca and blue-footed boobies nest near the trail and Galapagos doves peck around and finches go about their day to day business unaware of visitors. Further down the trail there is a blowhole, a fissure in the lava where water spurts high into the air resembling a geyser.
One of the Galapagos most famous islands due to many unique stories about past settlers is Floreana. Post Office Bay is home to a unique "post office" which was a wooden barrel that was used as an unofficial mail box in 18th century by whalers and other frequenters of the island. The tradition of this unique feature is to leave a postcard in the barrel and grab another to mail when you get home. Floreana is also a magnificent site for swimming and kayaking, or climbing down into lava tunnels and exploring the inner workings of this island. Watch your step because this tunnel has been kept untouched and completely natural over these many years. Punta Cormorant is a great site for bird-watching. Cormorant Point has a large lagoon where an array of species including flamingos, stilts, and pintail ducks tend to wander.
Santa Cruz is the second largest island in the Galapagos and the only island where six different vegetation zones can be seen. The small town of Puerto Ayora is the economic center of Santa Cruz Island from tourism, fishing, boat building and commerce. Santa Cruz is also the center of the archipelago, and has the largest population of the four inhabited islands. A trip to the lush greenery of the Santa Cruz highlands offers a welcome contrast with the arid scenery of the smaller, lower islands. You will get a chance to see enormous pit craters, lava tunnels and giant tortoises roaming freely.
Isabela Island is the largest of the archipelago, formed by five volcanoes, as well as the youngest of the islands. Located south of Isabela Island are the Wetlands which consists of lagoons, swamps, and mangroves. There are paths that wind through the swamps and are excellent for viewing various bird species including common stilts, whimbrels, white-cheeked pintails, and gallinules. Puerto Villamil is a friendly port and will be your home-base during a diverse and exciting day where choices for adventure and relaxation abound. Visit the Tortoise Breeding Center where visitors and locals are educated on the importance of the giant tortoise. This is also a facility that helps protect the giant tortoise in its first years and prepare them for survival in their natural environment.
Elizabeth Bay consists of several islets and is on the western side of Isabela. This is a wonderful mangrove ecosystem that is a refuge for sea turtles, rays, blue-footed boobies, penguins, herons, and more. Moreno Point is located just southwest of Elizabeth Bay on the west coast of Isabela Island. Surround yourself by some of the most magnificent scenery while observing different types of lava and pioneer plants. In the tide pools, have a chance to spot green sea turtles and possibly white-tip sharks. This area is made of up rocky shores that are great for observing penguins, sea lions, blue footed boobies, and marine iguanas.
Urbina bay is located in Western Isabela, at the foot of Alcedo volcano. Have the opportunity to observe sea turtle nesting sites as well as penguins and flightless cormorants. It is also one of the best places to see Darwin's finches and large land iguanas. With some luck, you might spot the giant tortoises which like to feed within the site's dense vegetation.
Tangus Cove was a main hub for pirates, buccaneers, and whalers to use. The high ridges are covered with the painted names of hundreds of ships that came to the island. This is a practice that is now forbidden. Take a hike on a trail that goes through an area of vegetation and the volcanic landscape of Darwin volcano. Once the top has been reached, enjoy the incredible view of the whole cove and Darwin Lake.
One of the most pristine and dynamic ecosystems in the entire world is Fernandina Island. The lava fields from the eruption of La Cumbre in 2009 stretch towards the ocean from its base and dominate the landscape. Punta Espinoza is a narrow piece of land where some of the most unique species of the Galapagos can be seen. Amongst these are the flightless cormorant, Galapagos snakes, marine iguanas, penguins, and the Galapagos hawk. A panga ride allows for the opportunity to study some of the Galapagos' spectacular geological rock formations. In this area you can see Nazca boobies, pelicans, swallow-tailed gulls, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and penguins. A wonderful snorkeling site that would be tested out is Punta Vicente Roca. Here you can usually see turtles and various types of fish.
Admire the red volcanic rocks surrounding a beautiful red sand beach that is home to a colony of sea lions and a pelican nesting site on the island of Rábida. Follow the trail that leads to a salt water lagoon where you can view various types of shore birds. Rábida is considered to be one of the best snorkeling sites in the Galapagos Islands, so enjoy the opportunity to go snorkel. Puerto Egas (James Bay) is located on the northwest side of Santiago Island and is home to a black sand beach with eroded rock formations surrounding it. The trail crosses the dry interior where you will pass the remnants of a salt mine and tidal pools that are home to an abundant variety of invertebrate organisms including sea urchins, octopus, and starfish. Have the chance to also see marine iguanas, finches, oyster catchers, and possibly the Galapagos Hawk. At the end of the trail is one of the only places in the islands where the Fur Sea Lions can be viewed.
Start the day with a trip to Chinese Hat (Sombrero Chino), a small island off the coast of Santiago Island. It got its name from its unique shape that resembles traditional Chinese hat. Here you can observe Galapagos penguins, eagle rays, sea lions, and marine iguanas on the rocky shoreline. This is an excellent snorkeling site so enjoy some time for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking.
While on a visit to the island of Bartolome, enjoy some superb Snorkeling around Pinnacle Rock where penguins are usually seen. From the highest point on the island, encounter different volcanic formations, including spatter and tuff cones, lava flow, and lava tubes on your way up. At the summit there is a wonderful view of Sullivan Bay. There are opportunities to see sea lions, pioneer plants, reef sharks, rays, and colorful reef fish while touring the island.
North Seymour is located slightly in the north of Baltra. This is a low, flat island, formed as a result of submarine lava formation uplift. It is covered with low, bushy vegetation that contains the largest colony of magnificent frigate birds in the Galapagos. The male frigate will inflate its amazing red gular pouch in an attempt to attract a mate. There is also a large population of blue-footed boobies in this area that perform an amusing courtship dance when nesting conditions are right.
Genovesa, also know as Tower Island, is the northernmost island in the archipelago that is allowed to be visited by non-diving cruises making it extremely remote and home to literally millions of birds belonging to many different species. Have the chance to see the red-footed booby as well as frigates, swallow-tailed gulls, and even endemic owls. El Barranco, also known as Prince Phillip's Steps, is a steep path with stairs carved into the rock that leads to a plateau with an abundance of bird life amongst a Palo Santo forest. The inhabitants are abundant and amongst there species the Nazca boobies, Galapagos doves, mockingbirds, petrels, and, with a little luck, the short-eared lava owl. Darwin Bay is home to a stunning coralline beach that is perfect for a relaxing stroll. A trail from the beach immerses you into lush mangroves where red-footed boobies nest, and there are multiple opportunities to enjoy the other local inhabitants that roam this area including sea lions, swallow-tail gulls, frigates, and more. Snorkeling is a must here as sharks, colorful reef fish, rays, and tortoises are common.
Despite South Plaza Island's small size, it is home to a large Opuntia cacti forest, land iguanas, and one of the largest sea lion colonies in the central region of the archipelago. Sesuvium is an endemic plant that inhabits this island and is a great climate indicator in that it changes colors with the seasons. Greenish-yellowish during the rainy season and a bright red during the dry season. This vegetation makes a nice home for Nazca boobies, swallow-tailed gulls, and other kinds of sea birds as well as various types of finches. Santa Fe was uniquely formed by an uplifting rather than by a volcano and is home to endemic species including the Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos Snake, rice rats, different types of finches, and the Galapagos Mockingbird. Wander around the island to see salt bushes where Galapagos hawks and Santa Fe land iguanas tend to wander. Enjoy the company of friendly and playful sea lions as they accompany you during your snorkeling activities.
Enjoy an excursion to Punta Pitt which is located on the eastern tip of San Cristobal Island. Take a hike up to a plateau to view the spectacular landscape which is so unique and beautiful it is definitely worth the effort. Watch out for the Red-Footed Boobies nesting in the cliffs. The water is great here so enjoy the opportunity for kayaking, snorkeling or swimming. Cerro Brujo's breathtaking beach is also home to an abundance of sea lions. They are curious and extremely friendly creature that make for an awesome up close and personal experience. This is also the first coast where Charles Darwin first stepped foot on in the Archipelago!
The Galapagos Turtles Breeding Center was created to conserve the San Cristobal tortoise species. The center has the goal to educate the tourists on conservation topics and protection of the environment. This area contains native plants and giant tortoises living in their natural habitat. This is a great location to see these amazing creatures in all stages of life. Really get to know these incredible and gentle creature before you head home from this amazing adventure. The Interpretive Center is a scientific research and environmental education facility that helps with conserving the natural beauty of the Galapagos. Later, return to the airport at San Cristobal and head back to the mainland.

What MLB Season Scheduling Means to Your Supply Chain
By Paul Homchick-Oracle on Mar 11, 2014
For the entire history of Major League Baseball from its founding in 1869 until 2004, the game schedules were developed by hand.
Great strides in operations research were made in World War II with the adoption of linear programing techniques, and great armies and navies were deployed and supplied using the new science of operations research, but baseball scheduling was more complex than that, and still done by hand. In the 1960s computing power exploded, with IBM placing powerful machines in most major corporations, but baseball scheduling was too hard, and it was still done by hand. Thirty years on, microprocessors brought down the cost of computing so that you could easily buy sixty-four or one-hundred twenty-eight, or two-hundred and fifty-six computers and set them all to working on the same problem. But the programmers still couldn't come up with a better schedule than Henry and Holly Stephenson could generate by hand.[Read More]

Oracle Introduces In-Memory Cost Management Applications for Process and Discrete Industries
By Terri Hiskey-Oracle on Mar 05, 2014
In 2013, Big Data" surpassed "Social Media" and "Mobility" as one of the most searched concepts on the Internet. Gerd Leonhard, a noted futurist, author and CEO of the Futures Agency, stated that Big Data's economic and social importance will rival that of the oil economy by 2020. With the ever-increasing global adoption of smart phones, we are heading towards 5 billion connected devices. With the addition of other electronic devices such as sensors, wearables, and smart homes, that number is expected to grow to 50 billion by 2018. The amount of data being collected across all of these platforms is mind-boggling, and companies that realize the potential of what can be done with that data are breaking away from the pack. Those companies understand this potential and are now investing time and money into tools that can convert all that data into information that drives actionable insights.

This is a letter of thanks to those of Craven, Pamlico and Jones Counties, the three counties that MERCI Clinic serves. Frequently, I find myself in awe at the continued and genuine caring support for MERCI Clinic extended by this community. MERCI Clinic patients are those of lesser income without benefit of health insurance. Some work, others do not or cannot. Some are homeless; others move from couch to couch with no permanent address. Many just cannot afford any of the extras � �Do I go to the doctor, or buy food, or pay the light bill?� Most of those who work are not paid for time away to go to medical appointments; there is no such thing as sick leave. Many have difficulty with transportation or the funds to purchase the gas to get them to the clinic. But, certain elements weave a common thread through their lives as MERCI Clinic patients � they have a medical home; they are treated with respect; their medical and dental care and medicines are provided without a cost,
It is our community that sustains the clinic so that we can continue to offer the excellent medical and dental services that we do.

This invention relates to a process for the refining of wheat based on the combined use of dry milling and wet milling procedures, and using a unique wet milling sequence, to obtain high quality wheat starch and an animal feed.
A wheat kernel consists of three major components: (i) a fibrous outer layer or wheat bran, (ii) germ, and (iii) endosperm. The endosperm contains two important ingredients, wheat starch and wheat gluten. Wheat starch has a wide variety of applications, including its use as a constituent in adhesives and in paper making, as a food thickener, and as a source of dextrose sugar and other food sweeteners. Wheat gluten, in its naturally occurring "vital" form, can be admixed with water to form a cohesive, pliable mass which is useful in the preparation of bakery goods.
A variety of methods for refining whole wheat are known. In the more conventional processes, which are based on the use of dry milling techniques, the bran and germ are separated from the endosperm while in the dry state, and the endosperm is dry ground into fine particles, i.e., wheat flour. The wheat flour is then refined further to obtain wheat starch and wheat gluten. Commercially, the separation of starch and wheat gluten from flour is commonly effected by forming the flour into a dough or batter, mechanically consolidating the gluten into solid masses and washing away the starch. Typically, the germ and bran are discarded as undesirable by-products.
More recently, wheat refining processes based on the use of wet milling techniques have been proposed. In general, whole wheat kernels are soaked in water to soften, or "temper" the wheat kernel, the soaked kernel is milled to split the outer layer and to remove at least the bran, and the resulting endosperm or endosperm and germ is treated further to obtain a baking dough or separated into a starch fraction and a protein (gluten) fraction. See, e.g., Rodgers et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,851,085, Galle et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,958,016, Durst, U.S. Pat. No. 3,788,861 and Rao et al, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,790,553, 3,979,375 and 3,891,613.
In German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,642,628, there is disclosed a process in which wheat is dry milled to separate endosperm fractions from the kernel, the endosperm is dispersed in water, and the aqueous dispersion is separated by centrifuging into a starch-rich fraction and a gluten-rich fraction.
It is an object of this invention to provide a combined dry-wet wheat refining process which makes efficient use of all of the major constituents of whole wheat in the formation of end products.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a new wet milling procedure for wheat endosperm which facilitates the separation of wheat starch in high yield.
It is another object of this invention to provide a unique wet milling sequence which enables the use of relatively short steeping times.
These objects are realized by the wheat refining process described below.
According to this invention in its broadest aspects, there is provided a wheat refining process, comprising:
(A) dry milling whole grain wheat to provide
(a) an endosperm fraction,
(b) a germ fraction,
(c) a fiber (bran) fraction, and
(d) a cleanings fraction;
(B) wet milling the single endosperm fraction of (A)(a) by sequentially
(i) steeping the endosperm fraction,
(ii) separating the larger wet endosperm particles from the smaller wet endosperm particles,
(iii) milling the larger wet endosperm particles to reduce their particle size,
(iv) recombining the smaller wet endosperm particles of (ii) and (iii) into a single fraction, and
(v) steeping the endosperm fraction again to provide a mill starch slurry;
(C) separating fine fiber tailings from the mill starch slurry of (B)(v);
(D) separating the defibered mill starch slurry of (C) into a starch-rich fraction and a protein-rich fraction;
(E) concentrating the protein-rich fraction of (D);
(F) directly combining each of the fiber (bran) fraction, the cleanings fraction and the germ fraction of (A), the fine fiber tailings fraction of (C) and the protein-rich concentrate of (E) to provide a wet animal feed product; and
(G) drying the wet feed product of (F) to obtain a final animal feed product.
The term "dry milling" is used herein to mean milling the whole wheat kernel in substantially the dry state, without presoaking the grain, to separate the kernel into its major constituents, e.g., fiber (bran), germ and endosperm, as well as wheat cleanings in minor proportions.
By way of illustration, the process of this invention is carried out as follows:
Dry whole wheat kernels are first cleaned to remove chaff and other external vegetable matter. The cleanings are used in the preparation of the animal feed product. The cleaned wheat kernels are then mechanically treated to separate an endosperm fraction, a fiber (bran) fraction and a germ fraction. The means used for separation are not critical, and conventional techniques can be employed. As an example, mention is made of the dry milling procedures disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,642,628, which is incorporated herein by reference to save unnecessary detail. In this procedure, wheat kernels are passed through a mill subdivided into several groups of passes, each of which includes at least one pair of rollers and a sifting installation such as a plansifter, and the wheat endosperm is separated from the wheat germ and fiber (bran).
The endosperm fraction from the dry milling step is then subjected to a wet milling procedure. In this procedure, the particles of the endosperm fraction are first steeped, then the larger soaked particles are separated from the smaller soaked endosperm particles, selectively milled while still in the wet state to reduce their particle size and recombined with the smaller, unmilled endosperm particles. The combined particles are then subjected to a second steeping step. The residence time of the particles in each of the two steeping steps can vary. In general, however, the total residence time of the endosperm particles in the two steeping steps combined is preferably in the range of from about 2 to about 6 hours.
Preferably, the first steeping step is conducted for a period of about one-half hour. The steeping medium in which the endosperm particles are soaked comprises an aqueous solution of an acid, e.g., sulfurous, or a base, e.g., sodium hydroxide. If sulfurous acid is used, an initial concentration of from about 2,000 to about 4,000 ppm of SO2 in water is preferred. If an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is used, the solution is preferably adjusted to an initial pH of from about 10 to about 11.5. It is to be understood that as the endosperm particles remain in the steeping medium, the sulfur dioxide concentration or pH may undergo change. Accordingly, additional amounts of acid or base may be added to adjust the steeping medium to the desired value during either of the two steeping steps. After the first steeping step is completed, the endosperm particles preferably possess a water content of from about 25 to about 35% by weight, wet solids basis.
The steeped endosperm particles are then passed through a sieve or screen of suitable pore size such that the larger particles, e.g., more than about 50-75 microns in diameter, are retained on the screen and the smaller particles, e.g., about 50-75 microns or less, pass through together with most of the process (steep) water. The larger particles are collected and milled while wet, preferably with an impact mill, to reduce their particle size to about that of the smaller particles, e.g., 50-75 microns or less.
The milled particles are recombined with the smaller particles and process water, which have been bypassed around the mill, and the composite is next subjected to the second steeping step. It is advantageous to employ elevated temperatures, e.g., about 90° to 130° F., for both steeping steps and to maintain the endosperm particles in suspension in the process water by suitable means, such as by agitation or recirculation of the process water. This completes the wet milling portion of the process. A mill starch slurry of endosperm particles in process (steep) water, normally having a specific gravity of from about 7° to about 9° Baume, is thus obtained.
The mill starch slurry from the wet milling step is then treated to separate and recover any fine bran fibers which may still remain. This is done conveniently by passing the slurry through a sieve or screening device having a pore size of about 37 to 53 microns. The clean-up tailings which are retained on the screen, comprising a wet mixture of predominantly fine wheat fiber and a minor proportion of endosperm agglomerates, are used as a component in the animal feed product.
The filtrate from the sieve, still in the form of a mill starch slurry, is then treated to separate and recover wheat starch. To this end, any conventional means can be employed. Suitable separation systems include an all-DorrClone system, such as disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 734,683, filed Oct. 22, 1976, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,144,087; systems comprising centrifuges for starch separation and hydroclones for starch washing; and systems comprising centrifuges for both starch separation and washing. Preferably, the separation system comprises two or more hydroclones connected in a multi-stage countercurrent arrangement, e.g., the aforementioned all-Dorr Clone system.
The hydroclone, or liquid cyclone, is a cone-shaped tubular device into which the mill starch slurry is forced under pressure. The size of the tangential inlet orifice is selected to produce a rotational velocity of the feed material sufficient to result in a separation of the particles according to differences in particle size and settling rates. Thus, a heavier, starch-rich fraction, comprised primarily of "A" starch, is collected as an underflow stream, and a lighter, protein-rich fraction, comprised predominantly of non-vital wheat gluten and a minor amount of "B" starch, is collected as an overflow stream. The starch-rich fraction can be dried to yield a prime, high quality wheat starch product.
The terms "A starch" and "B starch" are recognized in the art to roughly distinguish between two types of wheat starch granules which differ according to particle size and settling rate. "B" starch has virtually the same settling rate as wheat gluten and is thus not readily separated from the latter using conventional equipment. "A" starch, on the other hand, differs sufficiently from wheat gluten in settling rate such that these two constituents can be separated without the need for special equipment or separation techniques.
The protein-rich fraction is collected, concentrated, preferably in a centrifuge, and then combined with the dry milled bran fiber fraction, cleanings fraction and germ fraction and, in addition, the wet fine fiber clean-up tailings, to form a wet animal feed product. The wet feed product is ultimately dried in a heated enclosure to produce the final feed product.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a preferred procedure for carrying out the wet milling step of the process.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram showing, in detail, the wet milling and fine fiber separating steps of the process.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram showing, in detail, the wheat starch separating, protein fraction concentrating and animal feed production step.
The process of this invention is further illustrated by the following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
With reference to FIG. 1, dry, uncleaned whole wheat is conveyed to a dry milling station where it is screened to remove large and small pieces of chaff and other admixed vegetable matter, and is further processed to separate the fiber (bran) and wheat germ from the endosperm. The dry milled endosperm is wet milled to form a mill starch slurry, from which fine wheat fiber tailings are then separated, and the defibered mill starch slurry is thereafter treated to provide a protein-rich fraction and a separate starch-rich ("A" starch) fraction. The protein-rich fraction, containing wheat gluten and "B" starch, is then concentrated. The cleanings, fiber (bran) and wheat germ from the dry milling step, the wet fine fiber tailings and the wet protein-rich concentrate are all combined and dried to form a final animal feed product.
With reference to FIG. 2, in the wet milling step the endosperm fraction from the dry milling step is, in sequence, steeped, the larger soaked endosperm particles are separated and milled while still wet to reduce the particle size, the milled endosperm particles are combined with the unmilled endosperm particles, and the combined endosperm fraction is steeped again to form a mill starch slurry.
Because of the small size of the wheat germ, a clean separation of the germ from the endosperm is not always possible. Consequently, the endosperm fraction may include some wheat germ, in minor proportions. This presents no difficulty, however, since the presence of wheat germ will not interfere with the subsequent wet processing of the endosperm fraction.
With reference to FIG. 3, the endosperm fraction from the dry milling step is measured from scale meter 2, into steep tank 4, where the dry endosperm particles are mixed with water and an acid, e.g., sulfur dioxide gas, or caustic, e.g., sodium hydroxide. Preferably, a weight ratio of process water to endosperm solids in the range of from about 5:1 to about 6:1 is used. An amount of sulfur dioxide, or sodium hydroxide, sufficient to provide an initial sulfur dioxide concentration of from about 2,000 to about 4,000 parts per million (ppm), based on the water phase, or in the case of sodium hydroxide, an initial pH of from about 10 to about 11.5, is added. During this first steeping step, the process water is preferably maintained at an elevated temperature above room temperature, e.g., from about 90° to about 130° F., especially preferably about 115° F. Vigorous agitation is applied to keep the insoluble wheat solids in suspension during steeping. In general, about one-half hour of steeping time is sufficient, but slightly longer retention times can be used, e.g., about 1-2 hours.
After the first steeping step is completed, the soaked endosperm particles are pumped from steep tank 4, through centrifugal paddle screen 8, e.g., Indiana Canning Machine Co., Model No. 77, or equivalent, preferably having a pore size of about 50 to 75 microns. Filtrate stream 10, comprising process water and undersize particles, i.e., about 50-75 microns or less, passes through while oversize particles 12, i.e., greater than about 50-75 microns, are retained on the screen. Oversize particles 12, collected from screen 8, are milled in impact mill 14, e.g., a 40-inch Entoleter impact mill, preferably operated at speeds of about 3100 revolutions per minute (rpm), to reduce their particle size to no greater than about 50-75 microns.
Filtrate stream 10, which bypasses around impact mill 14 along with the major portion of the process water, and impact mill discharge stream 16, are both combined and sent to steep tanks 18, 20 and 22 for the second steeping step of the wet milling procedure. Steep tanks 18, 20 and 22 are preferably equipped with agitators and connected in series by overflow. The endosperm particles are maintained in suspension in the process water, in the steep tank, using agitation, for a period of about 4 hours. As in the case of the first steeping step, the temperature is maintained in the range from about 90° to about 130° C. This can be done conveniently by recirculating the process water through heat exchangers. If necessary, suitable amounts of sulfur dioxide, or sodium hydroxide, can be added to adjust the SO2 concentration or pH to the desired value.
After the second steeping step is completed, the endosperm fraction, in the form of a mill starch slurry of endosperm particles and process water, 24, is removed from the steep tanks and passed through fine fiber separating and clean-up screen 26, for the removal of fine bran fiber tailings. A screen pore size of from about 37 to about 53 microns is preferred. Wet fine fiber clean-up tailings 28, are collected for inclusion in the animal feed product. The remaining endosperm particles, still in the form of a mill starch slurry, 30, pass through screen 26 and are collected in mill starch hold tank 32.
With reference to FIG. 4, the mill starch slurry from mill starch tank 32, having a specific gravity of from about 7° to about 9° Baume, is pumped through pump 34 into hydroclone separating system 36. Hydroclone system 36 preferably comprises a plurality, e.g., from about 10 to about 14, stages of 10-millimeter internal diameter DorrClone units, manufactured by the Dorr-Oliver Co. The mill starch slurry is first directed through hydroclone stage 38. Overflow 40, from hydroclone stage 38, which comprises a protein-rich stream containing a major proportion of non-vital wheat gluten and a minor proportion of "B" starch, is pumped through hydroclone unit 42. The overflow from hydroclone unit 42, comprising a still further protein-enriched stream, is collected for concentrating.
Underflow 44 from hydroclone stage 38, comprising an "A" starch-enriched stream is directed through the remainder of the hydroclone units in hydroclone system 36, in turn, whereby an increasingly "A" starch-enriched underflow is obtained from each further unit in succession. Ultimately, starch-rich fraction 46, comprising prime "A" wheat starch, is collected. Fresh process water, which is fed countercurrently back through hydroclone system 36, represents the only fresh water input to the entire process.
With further reference to FIG. 4, the protein-rich overflow from hydroclone unit 42, is sent to concentrating station 48, comprising a MERCO BH-30 centrifuge, or equivalent. Underflow 50, comprising a wet protein-rich concentrate, is sent to animal feed dryer 52, where it is combined with the wheat cleanings, fiber (bran), germ and fine fiber tailings fractions previously collected during the process. Overflow 54, comprising used process water containing a minor amount of wheat insolubles, is recycled back to the process for further use in steeping.
The end products of the process as just described, are a prime wheat starch fraction and a high protein animal feed product.
Because the process is continuous instead of batchwise, inventories within the system are low and the entire operation can be quickly started or stopped at any point.
The process of this invention is further illustrated in the following examples.
One-hundred and two pounds of uncleaned dry wheat kernels, containing from about 12 to about 14% by weight of innate moisture, are passed through a sieve having a pore size of about 1/4 inch round holes, and over a 12 mesh wire screen, and substantially all of the chaff and other vegetable matter in external admixture with the kernels are separated. The cleaned wheat kernels are then dry milled to provide an endosperm fraction, a wheat germ fraction and a fiber (bran) fraction.
A total of 18 pounds of fiber (bran) and wheat germ, combined, and 82 pounds of endosperm are thus obtained. The endosperm fraction has the following composition:
______________________________________ DRY SUBSTANCE PERCENT BY WEIGHT______________________________________Starch 79Protein 11Fat 0.4Fiber (Bran) 0.5Other 9.1 100 TOTAL______________________________________
The dry milled endosperm fraction is immersed in a tank of aqueous sulfurous acid, having a concentration of about 2,000 ppm of sulfur dioxide, at a temperature of about 115° F., with vigorous agitation for a period of one-half hour. A ratio of sulfurous acid to endosperm solids of about 0.017:1, by weight, is used. After one-half hour, the soaked wheat kernels and process water are pumped from the tank through a screen, Model No. 77, Indiana Canning Machine Co., having a pore size of about 50 microns. The larger endosperm particles, greater than about 50 microns, are retained on the screen. The retained particles are collected and milled on an Entoleter impact mill, having an internal diameter of about 40 inches, operated at a speed of 3100 rpm, and the particle size of the endosperm particles is thus reduced to about 50 microns or less. The milled particles are recombined with the filtrate from the screen, which comprises sub-50-micron particles and process water bypassed around the mill. The recombined endosperm fraction and process water are placed in a second steep tank, where the mixture is maintained at a temperature of about 115° F., for about four hours, using vigorous agitation.
A suspension of insoluble wheat endosperm particles, comprising a mill starch slurry having a specific gravity of 8° Baume, is recovered from the second steep tank and passed through a Starcossa centrifugal screen, equipped with a cloth having a pore size of about 53 microns. Fine wheat fiber tailings and a minor proportion of endosperm agglomerates are retained on the sieve and collected, while the remainder of the slurry passes through. The portion of the mill starch slurry which has passed through the centrifuge screen is directed through a series of 11 DorrClone hydroclone units, 10-mm internal diameter, available from Dorr-Oliver Co., and connected in countercurrent arrangement. A protein-rich overflow stream, which contains non-vital wheat gluten and "B" starch, and a starch-rich underflow stream, which contains prime "A" starch, are taken off from the hydroclone system. The protein-rich stream is concentrated in a MERCO BH-30 centrifuge and a protein-rich concentrate is obtained.
The protein-rich concentrate from the BH-30 centrifuge, still in the wet state, is combined with the dry milled wheat cleanings fraction, the dry milled wheat germ fraction, the dry milled fiber (bran) fraction and the wet fine fiber clean-up tailings collected from the Starcossa centrifugal screen, to form a wet animal feed product. The wet feed product is dried in an oven at 250° F. for about 4 hours, forming a final animal feed product.
A yield of 53 pounds of prime "A" wheat starch, or 52% by weight, and 49 pounds of animal feed, or 48% by weight is obtained.
Other modifications and variations of the process of this invention will suggest themselves from the above description. It is to be understood, therefore, that changes may be made in the embodiments shown without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
