Large-scale design and testing of an improved fine coal dewatering system
M. le RouxI; Q.P. CampbellI; W. Smit
ICSIR Mining Technology
Fine coal (-500 |m) is notoriously difficult to dewater. It is not uncommon for a dewatered product to have a moisture content as high as 30 per cent after vacuum filtration. This poses several handling and financial problems to such an extent that a lot of fine coal is discarded onto slurry waste ponds. A novel way of dewatering fine coal was developed at North-West University. It entails deliberately damaging the filter cake during dewatering to allow for an increased flow of air through the cake at the expense of the applied pressure differential. This method resulted in an average improvement in final cake moisture of between 3 per cent and 5 per cent when executed in the laboratory under controlled conditions. A device was designed that could be fitted onto existing belt filters that would damage the filter cake as it passes by. This device was tested on a vacuum belt filter installation at a coal beneficiation operation in the Waterberg coal field in South Africa. The results showed a 3 per cent reduction in final moisture of the cake, proving the validity of the method at full industrial scale.
Keywords: fine coal, dewatering, filtration.
South Africa has an abundance of coal reserves and is currently one of the leading producers of coal in the world. Since most of the southern hemisphere's coal deposits have a high ash content, beneficiation plays an important role in the upgrading of coal. However these washing methods are responsible for the generation of fine (-500 |xm) and ultrafine (-100 |xm) material. It has been reported that as much as 14 per cent of all ROM coal can report to the fines fraction while 2-3 per cent will end up being classified as ultrafine1.
These fine fractions have a lot of associated moisture and are normally in slurry form, or at best, a very moist solid stream. Over the years, the fine coal has been discarded into slurry ponds, but now that the value of it can be realized, either it is added to the final product as is, or alternatively, it is upgraded, dried, and sold. This has led to rapid improvement in fine coal processes like spirals, froth floatation, and fluidization. The main reason for not fully optimizing these processes is the amount of moisture in fine coal. Removing the moisture efficiently will yield definite benefits in finances and the handling of fine coal, and will have a positive impact on the environment.
Rong2 defined three types of moisture in coal: namely, surface or free moisture, inherent or capillary moisture, and chemically bound moisture. Of these only the free moisture fraction can be removed using mechanical means like filtration or centrifuging. Studies done on fine coal showed that it is not uncommon for a fine coal filter cake to have a moisture content up to 30 per cent after filtration. Such a high moisture content impacts negatively on the possible revenue from the coal. Tao et al.3 showed that a 1 per cent reduction is the moisture content of 3 million tons of clean coal will lead to a saving of US$300 000.
Le Roux and Campbell4 showed that by deliberately perforating a fine coal filter cake during dewatering, the increased the airflow through the cake will yield a drier product. A reduction of up to 7 percentage points has been reported. This phenomenon is shown in Figure 1.
From Figure 1 it is clear that the dewatering rate increases rapidly at the point where the filter cake was perforated. The end result yielded a filter cake that was about 5 per cent drier than for the standard filtration test. This process was optimized by Le Roux et al.5, who showed that any type of perforation applied through the top third of the thickness of the filter cake will be sufficient to obtain the additional decrease in moisture content of the coal.
The project was done in two parts:
The first part of the project entailed a detailed laboratory study to determine the validity of the process on a sample of coal and to optimize the procedure
The second was the design, building, and commissioning of a full-scale rig to be added to current filters to enable full scale testing of the method.
Part 1: Laboratory setup and results
A 25 kg coal sample (proximate analysis shown in Table I) from the Waterberg coal field was used. The belt filter product was sampled, sealed, and taken back to NorthWest University. The sample was divided to make up the feed of 350 g for each test run, which delivers a similar cake thickness as for the full-scale filter. The divided samples were remixed with water, flocculated, and fed to the system shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 shows the filtration system, which consisted of a glass bell jar that could be evacuated, with a filter head fitted onto the top of the bell. A glass beaker, situated inside the bell jar on a load cell, was used to collect the filtrate and measure its mass continuously. Real-time data was captured on a computer. The setup was operated to emulate full-scale belt filters, having a retention time of 300 seconds and an applied vacuum differential of 60 kPa. Damage to the cake was inflicted at several time intervals during the course of dewatering by cutting slits into the surface to a certain depth using a spatula to determine the optimum positioning of the designed rig on the belt filters.
Summarized results from the above tests are shown in Figure 3. The solid line on the graph represents the final cake moisture obtained for the standard filtration test, where no cuts were made in the filter cake. It is used to draw a comparison to the data points that represent the moisture levels obtained in the final filter cake, when damage was inflicted to the cake at certain times after 100 per cent saturation in the dewatering cycle. The lowest moisture level was obtained when the cake was damaged at the point of 100 per cent saturation, i.e. when all the inter- and intraparticulate voids were completely filled with water, without any excess water present. This test yielded a final cake moisture of 21.8 per cent, compared to 24.9 per cent for the standard filter test. This serves as an indication of the positioning of the test rig on the belt filters. The tests were repeated three time, and the results gave a standard deviation of ± 0.68 per cent.
Part 2: Full-scale test rig design and results
The full-scale test rig had to serve two purposes: it should act as a test apparatus to check if the practical results agree with the laboratory results; and it should serve as a prototype to test the mechanical design. The apparatus was designed according to the following specifications:
It should be easy to fit the apparatus to an existing belt filter
It should operate with minimal maintenance
It should run without external power
It should be easy to move the apparatus along the length oi the iiler in order to modiiy the point oi perioration
The apparatus should fit in a small delivery vehicle.
The results in Figure 3 showed that the best time to inflict the damage is at the onset of 100 per cent saturation. Translated to a full-scale belt filter operation, this will be at the point on the belt where the superficial water disappears from the filter cake surface. Le Roux et al.5 further determined that the best way to damage the cake in the laboratory was by pressing a cylindrical object axially into the cake. It was, however, also shown that the method for inflicting the damage had little effect on the final cake moisture, and was required to disturb only the top third of the cake.
The mechanism to achieve exactly the same effect in the plant is somewhat complex. It was decided to use a polyurethane roller with grooves (see Figure 4), which would damage the cake in a manner qualitatively similar to the laboratory tests. The damage was inflicted by disturbing the surface in such a way that fine cracks form throughout the cake. It is important to notice that the surface should not be ploughed. A ploughing operation would form large slots in the top layer of the cake, which in turn would cause a significant drop in the applied pressure differential across it.
The set of profiled rollers spanned the width of the filtration belt. The height of the rollers above the belt could not be set constant as the height of the filter cake varies throughout the length of filter. The roller geometry was chosen so that the base of the rollers should follow the surface of the coal layer to obtain the necessary penetration. This simplifies the control of the roller height significantly. Compression springs force the roller into the coal layer. As the layer thickens, the spring force increase somewhat, but not to the point where it can force the base of the rollers to penetrate the coal layer. The force that the springs exert on the rollers can be adjusted. This allows the apparatus to be placed anywhere along the filter belt. The spring force will be low in areas where the coal layer is soft (the water content is high) and high in areas where the coal layer is hard (the water content is low). The operator has to manually adjust the spring force so that the rollers have the necessary penetration. The apparatus is equipped with a mechanical stop to prevent the rollers from coming into contact with the filter belt. During the first test runs, it was found that coal buildup occurs in the grooves of the roller. This coal buildup compacted inside the groves and effectively changed the roller operation from cutting the cake to only compressing it. Static scrapers were designed and retrofitted to remove the coal from the rollers. A detailed drawing of the apparatus is shown in Figure 5.
Installation and commissioning of the rig went without any problems (Figure 6). It was placed at several intervals along the length of the belt to obtain the most suitable operating point in terms of stability and final cake moisture content. This position was found to be as close as possible to the onset of 100 per cent saturation, similar to the laboratory results shown in Figure 3. At this position, the operation on the belt was stable, yielding a grooved belt discharge as shown in Figure 7. The dewatering impact is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 shows a similar trend to that of Figure 3. The solid line represents the final cake moisture content obtained for standard operating conditions on the filter, while the data points represent the final cake moisture obtained by running the apparatus on the filter at different positions in relation to the 100 per cent saturation point. It was again possible to reduce the final cake moisture by almost three percentage points, resulting in a cake moisture of 23.8 per cent, compared with 26.7 per cent obtained during normal operations. Tests were not repeated due to time constraints. However, the setup was left to run for more than ten minutes at each setting, ensuring that steady state was reached before sampling.
The test rig complied with all the preset design criteria, as it was easy to fit onto the filters and delivered the required damage to the filter cake without it harming the belt.
It was possible to simulate the belt filters in the laboratory and to determine the positioning of the rig, which was found to be at the point of 100 per cent saturation. The laboratory-scale rig reduced the filter cake's final moisture content by three percentage points. The full-scale rig was designed as a set of rollers with grooves that inflicted the damage to the cake. Apart from coal buildup that hindered the bearings, for most part the rig ran smoothly, and complied with all the design specifications. During full-scale testing, the final cake moisture was again lowered by three percentage point, the same as was achieved in the laboratory, therefore proving the validity of the method.

With more than 50,000 people from around the world attending the Rio+20 conference in Rio De Janeiro, the global conversation has reached an almost fever pitch. Presidents met with students, students with indigenous groups, indigenous groups with Nobel prize winning economists, economists with reporters, and reporters with just about all of us.
But for one, brief moment, it is fair to say a group of four men managed to rise above the fray and capture everyone's attention.
Amid the pomp and circumstance of yesterday's ceremonial opening, the lights briefly dimmed and astronauts from the International Space Station greeted the delegates in short video produced by our friends at NASA, the Russian Federal Space Agency, and the European Space Agency.
The video was greeted with stunned silence before the delegates, including scores of presidents, prime ministers and government ministers, erupted into thunderous applause.
Well done NASA, thank you a most unexpected moment of zen here at Rio+20.
Join the conversation on Twitter by following #USRIO20 and #RioPlus20.

@ Benjamin,
Howabout posting a link to that NASA vid.?
Then see if you can get the major global news networks to air it so a few billion people on this planet can see what condition Humanity's condition is in.
See, rather than "stunned silence" you need a bit of public outrage and concern voiced regarding the global environmental degradation one can see from space to get governments to realize they ultimately must answer to their people, and have a mandate to change directly from them.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Dipnote Bloggers,
Thanks for that..., I was hoping to see a more substantial presentation actually. In fact, since the thought is on the brain, simmering...the President has this keen wish to promote green industry and energy and have the US play a leadership role in leeding folks out of the climate change abyss while improving the global economy an all...maybe the folks up at the station and he can dop a joint one-hour power-point presentation complete with video of deforestation, desertification, along with humanity's visable foot print on the planet (the city lights on the night-side flyover were nice, but that's not exactly what I'm shooting for in the way of educating folks)...as seen from the station and various enviromental monitoring means of corrolating data.
What kind of weight would this lend to the conversation?
Oh, have him invite his counterparts from other nations to then have a public moderated discussion on the tail end of that and ask the public, and industry to contribute any ideas they may have from the entire world, and multiply the imput of 50,000 in rio to a collective pool of though of 7 billion all thinking about what sustainability looks like at the same time, and I flat gurantee you someone will have vision and idea.
But as it stands at this point in time, I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of the world's population is riddled with doubt as to whether anyone in power really cares or not.
And folks can bust that myth in the process.
I'm glad this Rio conference was attended by world leaders, but now they got to bring the message home.
The way I look at this is that regardless of whether folks are on the same page as to how to properly address the problems inherant with conflict, climate change and economic hardship facing modern civilization today, humanity will sink or swim depending on whether folks have reached common consensus on what happens if they are not solved within this decade.

Core'Sages–Tutorial Tuesday!
February 8, 2011 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, Queen & Co.
So do you want to see our Make-n-Takes from CHA??? They were so CUTE and everyone loved them. They really showed off Core'dinations Cardstock and how versatile it is. So bust our your Fiskars Paper Crimper and let's get started. And we want to give a huge shout out to Glue Arts for supplying us with the Extreme Adhesive Glue Squares for this. They worked brilliantly!
Hats off to Design Team Member Lydia Jackson for this awesome idea and Tutorial!
Steps to create Flower:
1. On the back of a 3×3 piece of cardstock draw a loose spiral.
2. Then tear the spiral shape, tearing away from your body.
3. Sand the torn edges of the flower to make them look antique
4. Using petal roller or quilling tool, roll flower from the inside edge of the outer ring of the swirl
5. When you get the the center circle, remove the flower from the tool.
6. Place an Glue arts adhesive square on the center circle and push the flower into it to hold.
Steps for Creating the Leaf:
1. Fold green cardstock in half.
2. Run it through a paper crimper on a 45 degree angle.
3. Cut (or Tear) a half leaf shape along the fold.
4. Unfold and sand the textured side.
5 Adhere leaves to the bottom of your flower.
Voila you have a beautiful Core-sage!

Not trying to start a BP/Guthrie/Tavares/etc thread, but I was watching Sportscenter this week and saw this guy playing for the Braves.
Through 69 at bats, he is hitting .377/.419/.507 2hr 9rbi 5bb 7k 6sb.
He played for Columbus last year, and I assume left as a minor league free agent. I don't think he really lit it up here, so again, this isnt a BP or Wily Tavarez thread.
Obviously it is highly unlikely he keeps this stats up.

Skip to comments.NH Attorney General threatens arrest of Free Stater
Posted on 05/01/2005 5:02:55 AM PDT by Dada Orwell
Concord, New Hampshire, April 30, 2005
Seacoast entrepreneur Mike Fisher doesn't look the part of a manicurist - or an outlaw. But he's about to become both.
Invoking the patron saint of civil disobedience, Fisher plans to violate New Hampshire's cosmetology laws - right in front of the officials who enforce them. And representatives of Attorney General Kelly Ayotte have already threatened him with arrest.
Fisher, 23, of Newmarket, is one of the 100+ "Free Staters" who have moved to New Hampshire since it was targetted for migration by a libertarian group, the Free State Project. In general, New Hampshire has fewer regulations and taxes than most states. But Fisher says there are still too many controls on small businesses, and the time has come to simply flout them.
His plan is to show up in front of the New Hampshire Board of Barbering, Cosmetology and Esthetics, a bureaucracy that regulates nail salons. There, he says, he will administer an unlicensed manicure - for profit - "regardless of what they threaten me with."
After deciding his course of action, Fisher sent the Board a note informing them he would be showing up at their office to break the law they enforce. That triggered a call from the Attorney General's office; one of their investigators informed Fisher police would be present and he would be arrested immediately if he attempted to perform an unlicensed manicure.
Fisher says he got the idea from watching the movie "Gandhi."
"The British government (In India) had salt licensing laws," he says. "You could not make salt without a license. Now we cannot cut nails without a license, and I really don't see the difference."
A computer repairman, Fisher admits that until April he didn't know first thing about manicuring but has now learned the basics. He points out that anyone who *does* want to work as a manicurist would not be able to stand up to the Board the way he is doing. "They could lose their ability to get a license." he says.
It's the principle of the thing that bothers Fisher and a desire to see a rollback of state restrictions on most industries. "In a free country," he growls "people do not need permission to start a business."
As in most states, it is a misdemeanor in New Hampshire to administer a manicure without a license. An increasing number of other small business activities also require licenses. Fisher believes these simply provide a barrier to entry for young entrepreneurs like himself without effectively protecting the consumer or the public. "Private institutions and competition are more effective protectors of the customer," he adds, "and these are both weakened when government tries to do the job."
Supporters are invited to attend, join the fun and witness Fisher's act of civil disobedience. But you do not have to disobey the law yourself unless you wish to man the tweezers! The event will be on Monday, May 9, at noon, at or near the NH Board of Cosmetology at 2 Industrial Park Drive, Concord, NH 03301.
What: Civil disobedience against "manicure law" Why: To call attention to state govt. overregulation of small business How: By delivering a manicure without a license Where: At or near the enforcing bureacracy: NH Board of Barbering, 2 Industrial Park Drive, Concord, NH 03301 When: Monday, May 9, noon (in the event of extreme weather, call the numbers below for a status report) Who: Mike Fisher, supporters from NHfree.com, whoever wants to join us. Expected turnout: 10-20

I've often worried that some of these "Free Staters" were as soft as a grape.
Oh, right. That will get the Darwin award.
You're soaking in it!
They are going to wear out their welcome real quick, which is no surprise. They need to start in vacant territory rather than messing up an already functioning state.
Mr. Fisher doesnt understand its all about the money. The state doesnt care about perfection in the manicure , or if your cuticles are cut too short, They want their licensing fee.
New Hampshire has been trending to the 'rats and this will not help.
"...Mike Fisher doesn't look the part of a manicurist..."
Nor does any man, for that matter.
There's a non-functioning state just to the South, that is, at least intellectually, vacant. Mass. AG Tom Riley would do a Janet Reno on him.
A worthy effort, but I fear this will simply start to turn the general public against the Free State Project. These are the kind of idiotic regulations we need to fight against, but the whole point of the project was to do it through democracy and the legislative process.
Well, I certainly hope they are going to make this man register as an unlicensed manicurist. The public needs to be warned about these dangerous criminals! < /sarcasm >
There's a small Masshole invasion going on. The Masshole libs have destroyed MA. Now they're trying to escape their own liberalism and try to make a "kinder, gentler" New Hampshire. The border towns are full of Masshole transplants.
Bingo. That is the motivation behind the enforcement, or lack of it, of most of our laws. I mean, did you really think traffic cops were motivated by their concern for public safety...like they're supposed to be?
so , this is from my podiatrist ,...Mahatma Gandhi walked everywhere so his feet were tough,with sort of a poor diet,he was frail and had bad breath,that's why he was AKA ,...the Super Calloused,Fragile Mystic,Hexed With Halitosis
However - I agree with him in principal.
A license . . . to manicure someone's nails? Ridiculous!
Instead of the state (government) creating monopolies through regulations and restrictions, couldn't the state provide certification, but not require it? Then business could choose to certify or not. Buyers would have the option of shopping at a certified or uncertified business.
Let the market decide.
If he tried this in Massachutes or New York, he would get thrown in prison for longer then a child rapist.
Cutting someone's nails without buying a government liscence or paying a hefty fee to a big union boss?! -He is an enemy of the people!!!
"They need to start in vacant territory rather than messing up an already functioning state."
Yes, He should try this in New York.
There's a difference between starting a business and performing a manicure with unclean tools. Wait until he gets an infection and see how fast he changes his mind.
Not having a license makes the tool unclean? What kind of logic is that?
At least with a license, the customer has some recourse.
There is no recourse without a license?
Any customer of any business, licensed or unlicensed, has a recoursed called a "lawsuit."
Too late. The FSP was one of the fundamentals (along with the Massh*le ivasion on election day) that turned this formerly conservative state blue. NH now has a Democrat governor (some say almost as smart as Patty Murray), and they added 31 Democrats to the State Legislature. Conservatives that don't have roots in NH should look to the south and west while they can.
Which is worth spit without insurance to cover it.
Which is dumber? A law to regulate someone cutting nails or paying someone to cut nails?
There was an article posted after the election that showed, the southern counties/districts where people from Mass had migrated overwhelmingly voted for Bush. It's the mid and upstate areas, that have been trending blue...I don't think Free staters are to blame for this, they haven't been there long enough. Maybe you're also seeing an influx of Mainers from the east...
There are less than 750 FSP'ers in the entire state of NH... I think that the margin was greater than 750 votes for sKerry . NH needs to get their voting laws set up to prevent and detect fraudulent voting.
Yeah right. All 75 of us Free Staters who had moved to New Hampshire by then were the reason that 14,000 of angry Concord residents turned out Craig Benson, who was laying a bunch of them off and who was having the temerity to expect government to live within its means.
You're right, this state has problems, but the Free Staters are coming in as reinforcements for the conservatives against the tax-and-spend gun banners. Blaming us for Lynch's victory is nonsense.
If you look at the town-by-town election results on the Secretary of State's website, you'll see that every town along the Mass border except for the far eastern ones had healthy majorities for both Benson and Bush.
The current count is 358 in New Hampshire, including Free Staters who were already here before it was chosen. Fewer than 100 had actually made the move by last November, including my wife and I. Not to mention the fact that every last Free Stater voted for Benson.
Bloody 'ell. This idea is so naiive that words fail Me. Obviously, you have never attempted to utilize such a method at any time whatsoever. If you do, I can assure you that you will be sorely disappointed with the results of such an attempt -if you do indeed decide someday to become something other than an armchair quarterback.
What makes you think that those persons established in positions of 'authority' that are determined to extract a 'license' (read:DOLLARS) from you is going to do anything but obstruct and deny you the ability to perform ANY action without obtaining a 'license' to do it? Not to mention finding more ways to obtain ever increasing numbers of them and fee amounts as well? I am astounded that such naiivite continues to exist in this day and age. I see W.C Fields observations continue to hold true no matter how many years go by.
In order to do it through "democracy," you have to make the general public aware of the ridiculous fact that manicurists are required to undergo a state-approved 300-hour course at a state-approved school and pass a state-administered exam in order to trim and paint other peoples' fingernails for money.
I can assure you that most people are not aware of this, except of course the manicurists themselves. A publicity stunt such as this, with broad coverage in the media providing tens of thousands of dollars worth of free advertising, is a way to attract attention to the issue so that the legislative process can be engaged by more than a handful of individuals.
In the meantime, though, the Board of Cosmetology is protecting New Hampshire from these dangerous threats to the health and safety of its citizens:
Fisher has just received notice (on May 3 I think) that the Attorney General is suing him. It's an injunction to prohibit him from performing this unlicensed service.
Apparently they sent the county sherriff himself to deliver the notice. They are playing hardball with him somewhat like the British did with Gandhi. The scale may be smaller but so far he seems to be on the same historical track.
The protest itself has been declared a violation of the law since they don't have a "permit;" so now it looks like there will be a pretty serious police presence.
Attorney General's Office Cancels Lawsuit Against Outlaw Manicurist
Concord, NH
After filing an injunction to stop Newmarket resident Mike Fisher from administering an unlicensed manicure in front of the licensing board office, the New Hampshire Attorney General's office has unilaterally backed down and withdrawn the injunction.
Initially, the state tried to crack down on Fisher and discourage him from engaging in his act of civil disobedience. A sheriff was sent to serve Fisher with a notice of hearing for a lawsuit to prevent the illegal manicures and make the consequences far more severe. However, after at least one phone call from the press, the Attorney General's office called Fisher in a more reconciliatory tone, attempting to back off from their initial threats.
Ann Larney, Chief of the Civil Law Bureau of the Department of Justice, repeatedly asked Fisher to give the state any reason to cancel their lawsuit against him but he politely defended his plans and refused to back down. "We do not want to use the full power of the state unless necessary," Larney told him. "She was very friendly with me and I appreciate that," Fisher said. Within an hour, Fisher received another call saying the state's petition for injunction had been unilaterally withdrawn.
Regarding the state's actions, Fisher said, "I will not back down. Apparently the state might give in, for whatever reason." He was not given an explanation for why the lawsuit was cancelled, but at one point Larney said, "we want to wait and see what happens on Monday." She later warned, "if you go through with this, we'll file for a more broad injunction against any similar future actions."

Pueblo County ventures into the world of weed
Pueblo's venture into the retail marijuana industry will be gradual.
"As far as Pueblo, for the short term, we're not going to see a whole bunch of new stores. The environment isn't going to look a whole lot different to the citizens of Pueblo," said Pueblo County Commissioner Sal Pace, who has led the county's regulation efforts.
In the first year, just 10 medical marijuana dispensaries will be allowed to transition to the new retail market. That could change come 2015.
"Then we'll see what the market allows for after that, but, people are not going to see a huge influx of marijuana establishments in Pueblo. Hopefully, we'll see a huge influx in tax revenue, though," Pace said.
The county touts its new regulatory model and, for now, has hired one enforcement officer from within the county staff.
A planning and zoning employee with past law enforcement experience will spend half his time on marijuana enforcement.
Licensing will be handled by the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder's Office, which also will collect the county's marijuana sales tax revenue.

Image Analysis and Segmentation in Adobe Photoshop for Quantification of Intrapulmonary Arteriovenous Shunting at Various Levels of Acute Hypoxic ExposureBeasley, Kara M (University of Oregon, June 4, 2009)[more][less]Beasley, Kara M 2009-10-30T18:31:42Z 2009-10-30T18:31:42Z 2009-06-04 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/9896 37 p. A THESIS Presented to the Department of Human Physiology and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Sciences, Spring 2009. A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: It was hypothesized that intrapulmonary arteriovenous (IPAV) shunt pathways would be recruited at rest under various levels of acute hypoxic exposure. Thirteen participants with healthy lung and cardiac function were studied to determine the changes in shunting induced by 30 minute exposures to four levels of hypoxia: Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2)=0.16, 0.14, 0.12, and 0.10. It was found that the threshold of hypoxic exposure to induce IPAV shunting in all subjects occurs at an FIO2 of 0.10. It was also observed that shunt magnitude increased over the 30 minute exposure and with more severe levels of hypoxia and a limitation with the current shunt assessment methodology was identified. The development of a quantitative scoring system, using image analysis Adobe Photoshop software was then developed, which revealed trends in the data not previously noted due to limitations of the previous qualitative system used to assign shunt magnitude scores. Specifically, an inverse relationship between arterial oxygen tension and shunt magnitude was identified using this quantitative system. The significance of these shunt pathways may be extensive as they could contribute to pulmonary gas exchange inefficiency and they may allow for emboli to bypass the pulmonary circulation resulting in neurological sequelae such as transient ischemic attacks, migraines and strokes. en_US University of Oregon University of Oregon theses, Dept. of Human Physiology, Honors College, B.S., 2009; Intrapulmonary Intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunt IPAV Quantification using Photoshop Image segmentation Image analysis Hypoxia induced intrapulmonary shunting Echocardiography Quantification of shunt Image Analysis and Segmentation in Adobe Photoshop for Quantification of Intrapulmonary Arteriovenous Shunting at Various Levels of Acute Hypoxic Exposure Thesis

Great choice for a 3/day multiple
Posted by Reviewer1369916 on Jan 11, 2012
I researched many and this multiple, with its broad range of carotenoids and the mixed tocopherols as well as good forms of other vitamins and minerals was the best for the buck. Beyond this multiple one can make sure to be eating right and add more bioavailable trace minerals, essential fatty acids from small fish or krill oil,primrose oil, magnesium (malate or citrate is a good choice), C, and zinc and be in pretty good shape.

If anyone lives in or near Cranberry TWP this is a cool little known local place to ride.
http://tinyurl.com/33pfws <-- google maps
It is of dubious legality and I take no responsibility for you using the area!!
I would never suggest taking the group to this area. I can't stress enough that it is at your own risk!
It is well used by the locals. I always see fresh dog tracks and footprints when I am back there. Also I often see or hear the ATVs and I see them parked in many of the yards in developments that i pass when using the trails. I even see a mountain biker now and again. (though rarely).
The trails through the woods here connect many of the developments. I run these trails with my dogs on a weekly basis and have mountain biked back there many times as well, never had a problem.
The trails are pretty wide ATV type stuff but can be challenging due to the massive ruts the ATV tires put in them. Also the puddles look innocent enough but sometimes are a few feet deep, so stick to the edge of ANY puddle or you might flip over your handlebars (not that I have done that )
How to get there
Park behind Target on 228 and make a left on the road that runs behind target.
When you hit a stop sign make a right and proceed up a dirt road. Eventually you will enter what appears to be a dump or sorts. You shouldn't have much trouble finding all of the trails that go around this area. There are lots of jumps and cool little things everywhere. There is a trail that veers off to the left into the woods. The map above covers 4+ miles but there are many other trails I haven't been on.
On the GPS above I enter through the rear of a development. I only do this when on foot. On the bike please use the dirt road.
Its a nice place to go if you want a quick run or ride without having to drive 20+ minutes to get to a park.

From the Melted Ice of the Arctic Comes the Unbelievable Grolar Bear
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Topics of Interest british tabloid the sun, grizzly bear, grolar bear, northern canada
Published on August 20, 2008
Section G Living, Green Report / Media, Nature / Non Human Stories
Comment 1
I always enjoy a good hypothetical survival story. Let's say you were abducted by aliens and given the choice of mating with a greenie or dying a slow, painful death. Would you get it on with the martian? I bet you would.
Global warming seems to be putting the polar bear in a similar situation. As ice in the Arctic melts, the polar is finding itself forced onto the beach while the grizzly bear moves further and further north. And it's not just their habitats that are overlapping. Scientists say mating of the two species has produced a hybrid they're calling the "grolar bear".

General Information
This section includes a variety of general information that is related to the activities which take place under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Such information is broad in nature and includes documents such as recent CEPA 1999 annual reports and fact sheets.
Fact Sheets
CEPA Annual Reports
- (CEPA Annual Report for the period of April 2014 to March 2015 (PDF Format, 1,350KB)
- For previous annual reports, consult the Archives
Interdepartmental Cooperation
The Environment Canada/Health Canada CEPA Management Committee
The CEPA Management Committee was established pursuant to the 1990 Memorandum of Understanding between Environment Canada and Health Canada concerning toxic substances and CEPA. It oversees Environment Canada and Health Canada programs dealing with priority substances, new chemicals and biotechnology products, the development of regulatory and non-regulatory control options for toxic substances, amendments to CEPA and its regulations and other related issues. Joint subcommittees have been set up to address new chemicals and toxic substances.
The National Advisory Committee (NAC) Under CEPA 1999
Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, Section 6 provides for the CEPA National Advisory Committee (NAC) to be the main intergovernmental forum for the purpose of enabling national action and avoiding duplication in regulatory activity among governments.
The Environmental Registry
The Environmental Registry was launched on Environment Canada's web site with the proclamation of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) on March 31, 2000 as required under Section 12 of CEPA 1999.
The goal of the Registry is to make it easier to access current information related to the Act such as:
- Regulations
- Canada Gazette notices and orders
- Permits
- Guidelines
- Codes of practice
- Agreements
- Plans
- Policies
- Substances
- Enforcement and compliance actions
Most importantly, the Environmental Registry is available for Canadians to understand how the federal government administers CEPA 1999 and to participate in the consultation and decision making processes under the Act. Industry, environmental, labor, health and aboriginal groups and individuals are examples of those who are continually invited to participate in a wide variety of public consultations.
Since the launch of the Environmental Registry, ongoing efforts have been made to increase the Registry's reliability and user friendliness. The Registry continues to expand in order to serve Canadians better and now encompasses thousands of documents related to the Act. The content and structure of the Registry is always evolving as new documents are added and as improvements are recommended by users.
If you have suggested improvements to the Environmental Registry, please write to: email@example.com

Changed the formula; ruined the taste.
Posted by Reviewer1613097 on Oct 14, 2013
Until recently, Olympian Labs sold an outstanding chocolate pea protein powder. The last time I went to buy it, I couldn't find the same package. I hoped that this would be the same product, but it isn't at all. The old one tasted just great. This one is awful. I'm using a half measure and mixing in a half measure of another protein I have, and doctoring it with extra cocoa powder until I can finish the package, and then I'll have to start searching all over again for something else. What a disappointment!
Taste is bad..
Posted by Reviewer1502771 on Jul 02, 2013
I have tried a few pea proteins and I keep going back to Thorne Research Chocolate. That is the best. This one is bad compared to that one. Will be going back to the Thorne.

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator.
I recently attended the "European Development Days" meeting in Brussels, where I had the opportunity to meet with donor and country partners to discuss our shared health and development goals. Overall, I was encouraged by the desire for partnership and collaboration expressed by representatives of both multilateral and bilateral programs.
I spoke on a panel entitled, "Creating a Global Health Policy Worthy of the Name." I presented on President Obama's Global Health Initiative and its role in helping to maximize the impact of our health investments, in conjunction with countries and other partners. For me, three major themes emerged from the conference:
The need to strengthen health systems
There was much agreement on the need to use our resources to support partner governments in planning and implementing health programs, whether that is through a mechanism like the International Health Partnership Plus, which supports joint assessments of national health strategies, or PEPFAR's Partnership Frameworks, where the U.S. Government and the partner government outline commitment and activities over a five-year period. But there was also recognition that if governments are going to meet these roles, we must help them gain the capacity to adequately manage, oversee and eventually finance their health systems. To that end, there was much discussion of "technical collaboration," rather than "technical assistance." We need to work with governments and country counterparts as partners, supporting them to develop and maintain the necessary skills.
One example of the way in which we are doing this through PEPFAR is our Medical and Nursing Education Partnership Initiatives, which aim to transform African medical education and dramatically increase the number of health care workers. Through the medical initiative, the U.S. Government is awarding grants directly to African institutions in a dozen countries, working in partnership with U.S. medical schools and universities. The initiative will form a network including about 30 regional partners, country health and education ministries, and more than 20 U.S. collaborators. The goal is to dramatically transform African medical education to increase the number of qualified care providers available and develop the scientific expertise needed for research and innovation, empowering countries to lead health programs and fulfill their responsibility for the health of their people.
Ensuring that our collaborations are broad and multisectoral
There was recognition of the ways in which priority areas for our respective governments -- including food security and climate change -- intersect with the changes that we are hoping to make in the health sector. For example, efforts to improve yields in the agricultural sector not only reduce famine, but contribute to the nutritional gains of children. And addressing climate change and energy issues also helps to address conditions which are linked to environmental concerns, like the respiratory infections tied to indoor air pollution.
My European colleagues commended the United States for the work we are doing in these areas -- capturing the synergies around nutrition with both Feed the Future and the Global Health Initiative, as well as the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves public-private partnership that Secretary Clinton announced in September.
The power of collaboration
At the meeting, all expressed a desire to work together in a more coordinated fashion with local partners in the countries where we work. There was broad agreement that we needed to reduce duplication and emphasize our core advantages and strengths, whether they be service delivery, technical coordination, or capacity-building. We have already seen this take place in several countries, such as Nepal, where the U.S. Government is partnering with other donors around the government's Joint Financing Agreement. The meeting provided a good venue to highlight the different types of partnerships -- both public and private -- that the U.S. Government is working on in the health sector, and dispel any notion that we seek to go it alone. Global health is a shared responsibility, and the discussion demonstrated that our partners are eager to join us in exploring how our collaborations can make our investments go even farther.

Brian Eno waxes poeticPosted by Christian Carey in CD Review
Brian Eno
Drums between the Bells
Warp CD
For his second CD on the Warp imprint, Drums between the Bells, Brian Eno collaborates with poet Rick Holland on compositions that combine spoken word with alt-electronica.
Spoken dialogue atop music constantly bombards us on TV and in the movies, but the music is backgrounded and the dialogue is unmetered. The Eno/Holland collaboration puts poetry and music on relatively equal footing. And while the constituent elements may be 21st century experimental electronica and post-modern language, the material actually hearkens back to an older artform, the 18th and 19th century genre of melodrama.
Melodrama has gotten a bad rap in recent years. today, we often use the term melodramatic to describe something that's overwrought. Even though composers as prominent as Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven composed them, for the most part, musical melodramas haven't remained in the repertory. That said, one of our most prominent contemporary musical genres, hip hop, certainly is a marriage of spoken word with music on relatively egalitarian footing. But then, the MC is, in a sense, a musical soloist as well as an orator; his or her voice acts in a punctuating and percussive manner that is a bit more overtly metricized than Mozart's melodrama, or than the collaboration between Eno and Holland.
That said, the balance and pacing of music and spoken word on Drums between the Bells works well. And the recording exhibits a wide range of demeanors both in terms of narration and musical approach. It certainly helps that a number of voices are heard throughout the album, including Holland, Eno, classical vocalist/visual artist Nick Robertson, Anastasi Afonina, and Elisha Mudley, providing a great deal of inflective variety. Eno takes care of most of the instrumental duties himself, with strings and guitars added by guest collaborators.
The album opener sets an uncompromising tone. "Bless this Space" pits a gravelly and booming bass vocal against Leo Abrahams' edgily distorted and angularly deployed electric guitar playing. On the cut "Fierce Aisles of Light," the music veers towards trip-house with rap riding buoyantly atop the beats. It's not surprising that the cut "Glitch" explores the experimental electronica from which it takes its title, with the poetry emitted in robotic stabs. "Seedpods" pits electrofusion riffs and string synth chordal pads against each other and a more theatrical oration. Elsewhere, as on "Dreambirds," Eno references his justifiably famous ambient soundscaping, creating lush tapestries which beautifully support Holland's more reflective poems.
Even if the notion of spoken word takes you back to awkward memories of children's theater, or lame college open-mike nights masquerading as wannabe poetry slams, you needn't give up on melodrama entirely. Give this Eno/Holland 2011 reboot of the genre a try. Drums between the Bells is well worth questioning your listening biases.

Topic: Dynamically creating form fields
I'm writing an application which stores people. People can have a number of addresses.
I'd like to have a form whereby clicking on a button ('Add address' say) would create some extra fields for a new address to be added.
Ideally the address would be submitted using AJAX then added to a list of existing addresses on the form. This list would have 'Edit' and 'Delete' buttons next to the entries so they be altered. Deleting would also be handled by and AJAX request.
Does anyone know any good examples for this sort of behaviour? Can anyone offer some pointers as to how this can be achieved?

Sony Corp., a company that only has a fraction of the PC market and which joint venture Sony Ericsson has an insignificant share on the market of mobile phones, plans to become the world's second largest supplier of slate PCs.
"We would really like to take the No. 2 position (in the tablet market) by 2012. At this moment, the timing of (those tablet) announcements versus (their) availability today is a different story. iPad is the king of tablets for sure. Who is going to be (the) second player?" said Kunimasa Suzuki, deputy president of Sony, reports Cnet News.
While at first the plan to be the "number two" may seem as the lack of ambitions, in reality this is a very serious claim. Provided that tablets will become a new form-factor of personal computers and thus a substantial market share, being the "number two" will result in millions of units and sales that may count in hundreds of millions of dollars. Moreover, Sony may sell content for its tablets.
"When our tablet comes out it will have content of its own. We have television and film studios working very hard to create content specifically for it," said Howard Stringer, chief executive officer of Sony.
While it is very likely that Sony will use Google Android platform for its tablets, it remains to be seen what additional features does it plan to implement onto its devices. For example, the company could enable some of its exclusive game titles - particularly those developed for the PlayStation Portable 2 that may rely on touch-screen - on the device. Additionally, the company may add features from its feature-phones to provide better functionality than Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Remember When Democrats Shut Down Government During the Bush Administration? Me Neither.Posted Thursday, March 10, 2011, at 6:27 PM
Reagan speaking on behalf of big business health care and insurance companies as early as the 1960s.
Warning, this next bit is not my work. I just find facts to be rather stimulating. I know what you're saying. Actually, but I listen to Rush Limbaugh and he only says things like "The Obama Regime" to conjure up scary images of communist Russia in my mind, in turn forcing me to grasp my Bible even tighter and hate Obama even more blindly than I did before. Sorry. You should leave this blog immediately. Here we listen to anyone who has facts to back up their rants. If not, they can leave. I'll go ahead and preface with this statement because the trolls hunger for anything they can make an argument against that does not regard facts.
So, straight from the depths of rational thinking, I bring you (with sources that are linked, and again before Swift et al make any comments, these sources were simply compiled by moveon.org, not created by moveon.org):
Top 10 Worst Things about the Republicans' Immoral Budget
The Republican budget would:
1. Destroy 700,000 jobs, according to an independent economic analysis.
2. Zero out federal funding for National Public Radio and public television.
3. Cut $1.3 billion from community health centers--which will deprive more than 3 million low-income people of health care over the next few months.
4. Cut nearly a billion dollars in food and health care assistance to pregnant women, new moms, and children.
5. Kick more than 200,000 children out of pre-school by cutting funds for Head Start.
6. Force states to fire 65,000 teachers and aides, dramatically increasing class sizes, thanks to education cuts.
7. Cut some or all financial aid for 9.4 million low- and middle-income college students.
8. Slash $1.6 billion from the National Institutes of Health, a cut that experts say would "send shockwaves" through cancer research, likely result in cuts to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's research, and cause job losses.
9. End the only federal family planning program, including cutting all federal funding that goes to Planned Parenthood to support cancer screenings and other women's health care.
10. Send 10,000 low-income veterans into homelessness by cutting in half the number of veterans who get housing vouchers this year.

1. Moveon.org is about as far left as you can get! Therefore, it is a liberal biased source.
2. I really don't care what is posted against the GOP since I'm a Christian first, Prolife/paleo-conservative second, and vote for only pro-Constitution/pro-life Republicans.
3. Actually, what do you think about my newest blog entry? You'll notice, I don't watch Fox News and seldom listen to those talkshow hosts you liberals love to hate and smear.

By the way, welcome to the blogosphere! I look forward to friendly dialogue with you, even if you do hate us conservatives.

Yes, Swift, you are correct that MoveOn.org is a liberal organization. However, they did not create the above listed statistics. The links that are posted are simply compiled by moveon.org, thus the addition of their website in the citation. If you click on the page, you'll be redirected to other organizations like the Washington Post, etc.
Thanks, Dexterite. Glad to be here.
-- Posted by Actually on Thu, Mar 10, 2011, at 6:26 PM
ALL the data vetted by moveon.org? Really? OK, I'll start with the first item:
The Republican budget would:
1. Destroy 700,000 jobs, according to an independent economic analysis.
The link takes you to the Washington Post. According to the Post:
a. The Report cited in the headlines was written by Moody's Analytics. This is one of the companies that gave mortgage-backed securities a AAA (nearly risk-free!) rating until late 2007. If this doesn't shake your confidence in their "analytics", I suggest you research the timeline of the housing debacle.
b. The Moody's report was cited as agreeing with a report issued earlier that give dire consequences for the republican budget. This report was written by the other beacon of financial soundness and ethics, Goldman Sachs.
Of course, this is just the first point. . . but time is short, so I'll let the other 9 go for now. By the way, Actually, I think you should rest easy about the cuts: The "cuts" you speak of are almost entirely effective in later years. Years in which we will have an entirely new budget. Republicans talk of cuts to get votes, but their budgets never seem to get to the year in which something is ACTUALLY cut. So rest easy.
-- Posted by Zam on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 1:42 PM
Yes Actually; just ignore my comments. Only liberals are educated.
Actually, your god is government; your religion is secular humanism. This is why you call spending cuts immoral. In your liberal thinking, anyone who disgrees with you is a right wing extremist. Bearcat72 is completely right in his post on the "On the Street forum where he calls you a "very typical narcissistic liberal". We conservatives care about cil rights which is why I re-posted the comment I made on the 1964 Civil Rights Act. You liberals love to play the race card. Well guess what? We conservatives are NOT racists. All the government spending on social programs, beginning with the New Deal, has NOT eliminated poverty. It has never gone under nine percent.
-- Posted by swift on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 3:43 PM
Fair enough, Zam. All good points. Now pay attention. If you read my blog, I simply posted these statistics to stir up some debate. I'm not endorsing moveon.org, nor am I claiming these numbers are entirely objective. I knew good and well that by posting the moveon.org links they would instantly be attacked for being liberal-biased. That is fine with me, as this publication and the blogs posted lack any liberal points of view. Now then, you make a good effort at trying to defame the source of these statistics. You do, however, fail to mention anything about the author of these report, Mark Zandi. The article clearly states the he is a registered Democrat who advised John McCain, and also dealt with both parties during the creation of the stimulus. I am very well aware of the housing debacle. I know it is a favorite bit used by the right, too. However, the point is that Zandi predicts bad news for BOTH parties. The relevance of these numbers are especially significant for the G.O.P. as they have been elected promising economic growth. I don't know how causing more people to lose their jobs will result in much growth for the middle-class American. Ah, I'll leave my comments about Reaganomics here for another time.
My bottom line is this, though. The Republicans are risking working hours for many government employees because of a potential shutdown thanks to their unwillingness to compromise on their already faulty budget. I'm not going to argue the salvation of Goldman Sachs or the Democratic ties to the group. It doesn't exist. However, I don't want to devote this blog to condemning every single leader over their practices. I'll stick to condemning the Republican party, especially since they now have more power and should be delivering on their campaign promises. If their delivery results in lost jobs, funding, and the like, then I hope people understand what they're voting for when they support the G.O.P. What's more, the blatant hypocrisy and blind hatred that is promoted by the Republican party garners the need for this attention. The ideological differences between the two parties should be explained to voters. I want to try to do that. Again, this post wasn't anything of significance. I'm working on getting my first original post regarding education funding under the Reagan administration up sometime soon. I want to analyze Reagan's policies then, as I feel they are very similar to the Republican rhetoric we are now hearing.
Nonetheless, thanks for posting. I hope to see you around more often. I appreciate the thoughts. I can't say that I'm going to classify you as winning (yet), but you certainly aren't one of the trolls.
-- Posted by Actually on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 3:56 PM
Swift, I'm not ignoring your comments. Also, you and Bearcat72 missed the joke on my post about Bearcat72 dreaming about me. Here, I'll explain it. Every single person who posts anything liberal on this website is accused of being me in disguise. This is because I changed screen-names over four years ago, and created one joking name of justinbieber. So, it was a joke. I figure it was fair as every single post I make results in Bearcat72 barraging me with personal attacks and insults instead of factual and intellectual debate.
Now then, any post I make with links has to do with legitimate statistics or facts. I do not post websites that I find to be interesting or that agree with my ideological views. That's why I don't have time to click on your links. Also, I don't have time to read your blog. I don't agree with you, and I don't hardly have the time to post on this blog like I would LIKE to. So, I will focus on getting my views out. Take them or leave them.
However, I will ask that you refrain from joining with Bearcat72 on the angry attacks, name-calling, etc. If you can only argue in that way, please do not bother posting here. I would much rather have someone like Zam post thoughtful insight than some fanatic ramble on about my "secular humanism." By the way, you don't know what my religious views are, so please do not assume that because I do not practice rampant consumerism that I do not believe in a God.
Finally, your argument about civil rights is moot. While I have alluded to the racism that exists in the right-wing in the past, I have not done so since this last round of debate has started up. I have simply pointed out that an increase in funding for education is necessary for the poor, not a cut in it. If you consider it a coincidence that the poorest of our country are minorities, so be it. You're right about the voting record on the Civil Rights Act. The Southern Democrats of that time are no longer in power, however. Further, most of the South now votes Republican. I don't think the Democratic party is now voting against the Civil Rights for anyone. If anything, they're more proactive for equal rights for everyone than the homophobic Republican party is. Then again, your party also likes to lie to people so they can secretly tape their comments and cause them to lose their jobs just so they can prove they aren't hateful, bigoted, etc.
Good day.

So, if you'd like to address the information posted above, please feel free to do so!
Also, if anyone is interested in watching two interesting films, I recommend the following:
The Corporation:
Manufacturing Consent:
By the way, yes one of these films features Noam Chomsky. I know. Liberal. However, he is quick to condemn the actions taken by Jimmy Carter regarding East Timor, arm sales that should indeed be condemned. So, I always argue that Chomsky is objective. I feel he is in this film, as well.
-- Posted by Actually on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 4:12 PM
Actually, what about the Right to Life for the unborn? When you refer to the GOP, why do say, "your party"? The Republican Party is NOT my party! I'm a conservative, and I voted almost straight Constitution Party in '08. I was vice-chairman of the Prohibition Party from '03 to 'o9. I still consider myself a Prohibitionist. That being said, traditional Judeo-Christian moral views have never been promoted by the Democratic Party. Anyway, keep blogging, Actually! In looking at my list of eleven blog entries, six are on politics. Five are on non political topics. So my next blog entry will not be political. I'm checking your newest entry even though I don't go to movies.
-- Posted by swift on Fri, Mar 11, 2011, at 4:33 PM
As you stated, Actually, you posted the list and the moveon.org source as a means to get a response . . . and you did.
As to trying to "defame" the sources: Defame is definitely not the right word. Discredit is probably even too strong. Let me restate: I'm not comfortable basing my belief on the success/failure of Republican budget cuts on predictions made by financial companies who's actions, according to both parties, brought the country to the brink of economic disaster.
On a different subject,
"The ideological differences between the two parties should be explained to voters. I want to try to do that. "
Now THAT is should be an interesting post! I look forward to it.

Color Dash was a success
Natasha Christianson, Minot
Give360, a giving circle within the Minot Area Community Foundation, recently held The Color Dash 5k at Roosevelt Park in Minot. Participants who came out for the dash experienced running/walking through colorful powder clouds at each kilometer, pre-race music, a crazy hair booth, costume contests, food vendors and a color explosion finale. This colorful, fun mess helped the Give360 organization raise close to $13,000 toward the planning of a local children's museum.
Along with the many paid registrants, Give360 could not have done this without the tremendous support from many area businesses.
Also, thank you to the Minot Park District for allowing us to host The Color Dash 5k at the Roosevelt Park and for all the hard work its staff has done to bring the park back to immaculate condition after the flood of 2011.
