    The pore space of sand is typically about 25%, while the pore space in clay is about 40%, which might seems counterintuitive. It is the degree of interconnectedness of the pore spaces that determines the material's transmissivity, and sand is more transmissive than clay.  Below the river 90 feet you will find sand. Below that sand in the area we are talking about you will get into silty, clayey formations like the Hell Creek Formation. Below the river you have essentially 100% saturation so the oil, being lighter than and immiscible with water, moves upward. Now beneath a reservoir groundwater movement is downward, but the density gradient between the oil and the water will trump the hydraulic gradient.

    And yes, I am a hydrogeologist.

    The pipeline will not leak so this conversation is a non issue. The pipe, welds, coating are all inspected before installing it. Cathodic protection will protect the pipe from corroding. Inline inspections will catch any issue before it leaks.

    The protesters are not exclusively Sioux tribal members but many are from all the tribes that have been affected over the years.  You mention what I believe was a language tie to the Sioux called the Siouan Language which is spoken by the Mandan, Hidatsa, not sure of the Arikara, and a number of other tribes.  I first was introduced to this by a professor at the University of North Dakota named Art Raymond who I believe at the time was writing a dictionary of the language.  I do not know the exact make-up and number of the protesters as to which tribes they belong to, however the water involved potentially affects a large amount of the United States.  The question I have for my home state is… how has the oil cleanup of the Williston Basin progressed and are we relying on the similar type of government rules and government oversight to move the oil without additional damage to North Dakota and to the water that flows from North Dakota to other parts of the country? 

     

    You realize they already installed the same pipeline across the Missouri near Williston. There is no harm in installing this pipeline. Do you know how many pipelines are installed across rivers in the US? Thousands

    So Dalrymple is going to use military and police forces to attack, beat and arrest unarmed women and children to protect his personal investment in this pipeline.  I guess we can officially start referring to the state of ND as a third world petro state.     

    The state must protect the legal right to construct the pipeline. These people are breaking the law to try to stop this pipeline. The pipeline has been legally approved and upheld in he courts. These people are not protesters, they are riotors. Their classification changed when they started to break the law.

    the state of North Dakota needs this pipeline so that our oil can be shipped cheaper and be more competitive on the world market. We need this for our economy and the people who work in the Industry. When it is started up the rail oil volumes will crash to close to nothing. Now you know why Obama and Hillary are trying to block it so they can protect thier big donor Buffet. I'm done with this corruption so I'm voting for TRUMP

    My son has been down for both Junior Day and Homecoming. He loves the coaches and is excited with the prospect of playing for the Fighting Hawks. He's a DB/KR from Winnipeg. Take a peak at his tape below.

    Don't forget us Canadians!

    I like prospects that are excited to have an opportunity to become part of the UND community! Whether he gets an offer, PWO, or tries to walk on, UND is a great place to get a degree and excel in life. Players with dedication are the kinds of men he wants in his football family.

    That shows the value in having our games broadcasted by a quality outlet. It's good to see people are paying attention! Now if only all road games could be on midco HD!

    President Kennedy Message on Athletics

    Why keep any of the sports on the chopping block? No one comes to UND because of any of those sports other than the athletes  themselves. Yeah these decisions are tough and can affect some student athletes but they need to be made to keep the financial health of the athletic department. We should not be keeping these sports by raising prices of other team tickets or by asking for more state funding.

    these sports are a waste of money and we need to cut the fat! There is no return on investment.

    Non-UND FCS Thread

    None of the remaining games will be easy wins. Our schedule may be easier with out UM or Eastern Washington but that doesn't mean the rest of the big sky are cupcake opponents. Has anyone seen the schedules for some teams out east?

    If we are the fourth ranked big sky team at 7-4 at the end of the season I think we would still get in.

    Gameday: UND vs SUU 1PM

    If Santiago is unstoppable then yes run him as much as possible but if can't get it going consistently then we need to rotate the backs and keep them fresh. we have so much talent in the backfield we need to put each of them in position to make defenses pay.

    also how do we know Conner is ok after that hit to the head? Any confirmation that he is ok?

    I challenge someone to explain why the sport is considered boring and if you use physicality please explain to me how UND minny games are more physical than some mens games and how its ok to cut a sport just cause you dont like it.. some folks in atlantic hockey prefer football yet some of those schools still have hockey

    The games are so slow and not as much skill as the men. If I wanted to watch less talented hockey I would go to high school games. Most Bantam A teams could beat women's hockey teams.

    you must not watch NHL games if you think women's games are more physical.

    i rather watch women's bball or volleyball 1000 times more

    She had to have initially pressed charges if the UPD began an investigation.  Why she withdrew them is up for speculation but she obviously wasn't fine with this initially. 

    It's an interesting decision by Kennedy.  I wonder if you can still be kicked out of the dorms for playing your music too loudly since, apparently, racially harassing your neighbor is now acceptable.  

    No one was racially harassed or else the investigation would have found that and actions would have been taken.

    To which even remotely analogous situation are you referring?  Kelley and Kennedy both did their fair share of investigating and condemning, but I certainly don't recall any students being punished where First Amendment rights were implicated.

    I'm pretty sure the gamma phi's had forced diversity training for their offensive banner.

    im happy how Kennedy handled this situation and I suppose I jumped the gun to criticize the decision to investigate. It good to see some common sense in higher education.
