I am sick of people saying that abortion shouldn't happen.
Why can't you just let the woman decide??
It's her body, it's her life - let her decide. Yes, I agree with what some one said a few post earlier - if they didn't want to have the child, then they shouldn't have done it. But society has changed, situations change, people change. Some times you've made bad choices in life.
There are so many situations, which I wouldn't want to bring a child up in. No one has the right to tell a woman yay or nay. It's her life. And she should judge accordingly.
I am against those who abort, simply because it was an "accident". But hey it's there choice and there beliefs. I'm not the one who should change there beliefs
If a person doesnt believe in abortion - then don't have one! Let women make up their own mind.
well again, i am not making a desicion but i will show the ideas portrayed by both people. the pro-lifers think about abortion in an ethical way. even if the baby has not been born yet, technically it is still alive. so why cause death to a being that has done nothing. many people get abortions because of their own fault, such as they forget to use a condom, or they were not thinking about the long run with a child, so they take the easy way out. if i were a woman that is about to bear a child i do not want, i would not take his/her life away, i would give birth to it and put it for adoption, therefor i do not rob the child of a life, but i do not cause it harm by having a life with someone that doesnt care. pro-choice people think about this in a semi-reasonable way. they believe that since the baby is of the mothers flesh and blood, the woman can treat the baby in what ever way they can. they do not look at the options of, 'if i used a condom', or 'why didnt i think about this more', they see it as, 'o well. i dont want it, so kill it' i like to refer to abortion as the easy way out for foolish people. even tho the majority of mothers have an abortion because they cannot afford to have the baby and take care of it, they do not realise that for a low cost, they can offer life to the baby, rather than taking it away from it. so either way you think about it, i cannot choose, because, thankfully, i will not have this problem, but in life, ethical reasoning is not always the answer.
Want Credits Fast? Love The Thrill Of Gambling? Then Come On Down And See For Yourself!
I think it should be up to the mother to decide what is best for her. People think that if you can't take care of the kid, have it and give it up for adoption. It's easier said than done. You look into your childs' eyes when it's born and you can't give it away. You know you can't take care of it but you can't bare to give up your flesh and blood. It would be heartbreaking.
Also, a lot of people say "well they should have used a condom". You can't always use that excuse. If a woman is raped, would YOU want to have that child? You want the father to be some sick man that beat you up and raped you? Heck no. Of course you don't so don't bring a child into the world under such sick circumstances.
I don't agree with people being ignorant though and having abortions just because they were stupid and thought "well it was just one time, how could this happen" crap. That's all it takes sweetie is one time so don't be an idiot.
true it is the anniversery of Roe vs. Wade but the thing that disgust me is that the whole case was a lie. Norma McCorvey (miss. Roe.) lied through the whole thing. Well more like her lawyers did. They told everyone she was raped. Wich she wasn't they said many lies to the judge and to miss. Roe they never really cared about her interest. And now after we made abortion legal we have killed more people than all of the wars we've had combined. And even then the argument that let the women that are pregnant decided if they want a abortion don't know the thruth. The abortion clinics lie to them. Heck Carol Evett who was a Abortion clinic director in Dallal Texas would put the patients in her car when ever they would 'complications' and drive them to a doctor who would keep his/her mouth shut about the number of woman who were maimed and killed in the abortion facilites.
Don't know the truth? what truth is there to know about abortion?
Your talking about one clinic right? ONE. I'm sure there are clinics out there that do the right things.
I feel as if, if you say, make abortion illegal - it's taking away a womans right to her own body and her own life. Freedom of speech and choice!
^ Exactly, it's like taking away a person's right to wear what they choose or eat what they want.
another thing i don't like is that the abortin clinics lie to the womans faces about it being "safe and legal" it is so not safe. In the abortion clinic in dallas mentioned earlier 1 out of the 500 woman would eighter die or be miamed. But that is not the only thing that can go wrong in a abortion. You can have your urinary tract cut, or perforations in the uterus, all of these require surgery. and in the abortion clinics they don't even have enough equipment to stop bleeding and one of the complications rarely publicized is when the bowels ar pulled out of the "private area" and results in colostomy. which they will live with for the rest of their lives.

Product Information
- The Adventures of Captain Underpants published by Scholastic
- Written by: Dav Pilkey
- We recommend this book for kids ages 7 and up
What It Is
The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey is now available in full color for the first time. This special edition also includes an all-new, 16-page bonus section, including "Behind the Underpants" and fun facts.
In the book, fourth-grade class clowns George Beard and Harold Hutchins create the greatest superhero of all time: Captain Underpants. These mischievous kids then bring their superhero to life when they hypnotize their school principal and make him think he is Captain Underpants. Things go awry when the newly christened Captain Underpants runs off. George and Harold must chase after him and help him solve crimes, with the help of some fake doggy doo-doo, of course.
Is It Fun?
Kids who love comic books and superhero stories will love this humorous book. Captain Underpants fans will like the new bright and colorful illustrations and the extra content, giving them an inside look at how Captain Underpants came to be. The book might even inspire kids to create their own comic book superheroes.
Who It's For
The Adventures of Captain Underpants is for ages 7 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
The Adventures of Captain Underpants took the number one spot on the American Library Association's 2012 Top Ten Most Challenged Books List. The reasons? "Offensive language" and "unsuited for age group". Let's be clear. This book is certainly no Fifty Shades of Grey. Captain Underpants contains no bad words. And while it's potty humor might not be suitable by some opinions, it's certainly appealing to kids in the recommended age range because it's silly, with a little bit of harmless naughtiness thrown in. Most importantly, it gets boys in that age range to read. Ultimately, it's up to parents to decide if this is a book to add to their child's home library.

Taxi drivers have it tough
As Sharjah residents come to terms with a hike in taxi fares, longtime UAE blogger Alexander McNabb contemplates how tough taxi drivers in this country have it.
October 24, 2010 4:23 by Samuel Potter
When taxi fares went up in Sharjah earlier this month, none of the newspaper stories covering the event made mention of the fact that drivers' targets went up as well. Drivers now have to earn Dhs 10,000 in a month to gain a 35% commission.
We're still paying the Dhs20 inter-Emirate surcharge between Sharjah and Dubai (and vice-versa), which was introduced, if we remember, because of the heavy traffic between the two. That traffic's no longer a problem, but the taxi companies are never going to let an easy Dhs15 go. (Dhs 5 goes to the driver, at least that was the idea). It's expensive stuff, this taking a taxi. And yet the drivers seem to be worse off than ever – although I don't see the large numbers of middlemen at the taxi companies and regulators suffering.
The drivers are under enormous pressure, with a series of iniquitous fines that includes a Dhs100 fine if they lodge the day's takings after 6pm. If a driver doesn't make his daily target of Dhs 275 for three days running, that's it. Out. The cap on daily petrol expenditure and a requirement that 50% of all travel should be passenger-carrying, means that drivers won't pick up in certain areas, taxi 'black holes'. Sharjah's University City, for instance, is highly unpopular with drivers. Many drivers have private customer lists (like Mr G, who runs a massive network of customers and is more frequently on the phone than off it) but resist University jobs. Their least favourite is University to airport – a 10 minute ride that entails travelling 30 minutes out of the city and back again.
Drivers who become involved in accidents have to sit around while the car is in the workshop – not earning a penny. As if that isn't bad enough, they have to pay the insurance excess, which is Dhs1,500. That's about two week's earnings. At least the high excess keeps the company's premiums down, hey.

919 Hidden Ridge
919 Hidden Ridge
Irving, TX 75038
Map It!
919 Hidden Ridge is a six-story, Class-A office building located in Irving, Texas. The building, constructed in 1998, is managed and owned by Columbia Property Trust, a national purchaser and manager of Class-A office buildings across the U.S.
The current energy management system (EMS) has been utilized to obtain the greatest energy savings possible, utilizing off-hours temperature set-backs, timed equipment schedules and cooling economizers. The building is equipped with 12 unitary air handlers with condenser water coil economizers and variable frequency drives. Temperature controls monitor outside air temperatures to take advantage of cool outside air. This has allowed the facility to gain optimal efficiency from the system and equipment.
Over the last year, as the building has transitioned to Columbia management, the property's ENERGY STAR score has increased by more than 15 points. This has been achieved at a minimum expense by optimizing the existing mechanical equipment to function at its highest level of efficiency.
Please note: Narrative information in this profile has been provided by Columbia Property Trust or a representative of this facility.

Wearable technology is set to impact industries of all kind and recent PwC research found that sales of wearable devices will hit 19 million by the end of this year. While it's still early days wearables will become part of the workplace much like the laptop, smartphone and tablet has over the years.
Forward-thinking organisations of all kinds are embracing and experimenting with wearable technology in many ways. One of which is Dubai Police Force who have been testing Google's head-mounted wearable device, Glass, to help fight crime. We spoke with the CIO and director of smart services at Dubai Police, Colonel Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi on his experiences on using Glass and on wearable technology in general.
PwC UK: Can you please explain your role in the Dubai Police Force and what it entails?
Khalid: I am a general director of the smart services at Dubai Police where we have 4 strategic goals:
1.The prevention and reduction of crime rates
2.Detection of crimes and the arrest of criminals
3.Readiness to deal with crises and disasters effectively
4.To control the roads securely
The General Department of Smart Services supports the above by providing all necessary means of technological infrastructure, systems, software and electronic services.
How did the idea of using Glass to fight crime come about?
Dubai Police has a long history of embracing advanced technologies and is the first, at Arab World level, to introduce "Electronic Services" and use GPS in police patrol. We have a dedicated team that studies and acquires the latest technology for test use and pilots case studies in our environment of which Google Glass is one of them.
What have been the results of using Glass so far?
Google Glass is still not officially available on the market as a production wearable device and thus it has its strengths and weakness. We have found in our testing that Glass communication with a server is impressive and it is very easy to capture an incident instantly and send it to the server for analysis. On the other hand, the battery life of Glass is weak and does not stand the Dubai heat very well.
The jury is still out as to whether Glass will gain mass market among consumers but we're increasingly seeing more valid uses for it in a commercial/government setting. What are your thoughts on this?
The City of Dubai has set a strategy to become the smartest city in the world and this strategy will reflect on all government entities to utilise the latest technology. However, it is very early to judge how well Glass will gain market share especially since it is yet to have an official consumer release and the device we have today is a developer version. In addition, we still haven't seen its implication on laws and policy in the country.
What's your view on the wearable technology space in general? Room for growth or a passing fad?
I think Smartphone devices have reached their max, this is the time and maybe the era of wearable technology.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's Alec Ounsworth Books First Headline Tour
By Tom Breihan on January 12, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. EST
Last year, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth struck out on his own, releasing two solo albums under two different names. Under his own name, he dropped the New Orleans jazz/funk experiment Mo Beauty on Anti-. And under his Flashy Python alter ego, he self-released Skin and Bones, an LP of more personal, indie-centric fare.
But when Ounsworth hits the road, you'll get every variation of Ounsworth there is, as he will play Alec Ounsworth songs, Flashy Python songs, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah songs. Three artists for the price of one!
Later this month, Ounsworth will open a few Cold War Kids shows. When those are done, he'll embark on his first ever solo headlining tour. We've got all those dates below.
Premiere: Alec Ounsworth: "That Is Not My Home (After Bruegel)"
By Tom Breihan on September 22, 2009 at 4:50 p.m. EDT
When the news came out that Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth had traveled to New Orleans to record a solo album with local ringers from bands like the Meters and Galactic, it looked like a calculated genre move.
Like Paul Simon going Afropop on Graceland or Cat Power toying with Memphis soul on The Greatest.
But the Mo Beauty track "That Is Not My Home (After Bruegel)" sounds way more like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah than it does like New Orleans jazz, funk, or blues. The horns and drums and guitars aren't there for push-pull interplay; they're there to propel the song forward.
Mo Beauty is due October 20 from Anti-. To read Ounsworth's thoughts on the album, click here.
Click below to hear "That Is Not My Home".
Listen to Clap Your Hands Man Alec Ounsworth's Flashy Python Album
By Tom Breihan on August 12, 2009 at 4:35 p.m. EDT
We already told you about Mo Beauty, the solo album that Alec Ounsworth, frontman of the on-hiatus Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, will release on Anti- on October 20. But when Pitchfork spoke with Ounsworth a couple of weeks ago, he told us that he'd also recorded another non-Clap Your Hands album, this one under the moniker Flashy Python. According to Ounsworth, the Flashy Python album is "more about me trying to erect some grand statement" compared to the album he recorded under his own name.
As it turns out, the Flashy Python LP, which is titled Skin and Bones, beat the Alec Ounsworth album into stores, or at least virtual stores, anyway. Stereogum points out that Ounsworth has already self-released the Flashy Python album via the Flashy Python website, and it's available on CD, vinyl, and download, with different pricing tiers for each.
You can also stream the album via a handy widget, which is featured below, as well as read the album's lyrics and liner notes. Skin and Bones includes appearances from members of the Walkmen, Man Man, Dr. Dog, and Mazarin. It's basically a traditional indie rock album, but it's a lot more dour and downbeat than anything Ounsworth recorded with CYHSY. It's also got plenty of unexpected production touches, including churchy harmonies and voicebox guitar solos.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's Alec Ounsworth Talks Upcoming Projects
By Ryan Dombal on July 23, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. EDT
Back in January, we reported that Clap Your Hands Say Yeah were taking a break from touring and recording, and lead singer Alec Ounsworth was "testing out solo material with new collaborators." It was all a tad vague and mysterious. Did this mean the end for CYHSY? And what of these "new collaborators"? Half a year later, the answers are finally starting to roll in.
Ounsworth has not one but two new solo-esque endeavors on the way. As previously reported, there's Mo Beauty, a solo album recorded with New Orleans funk and jazz vets-- including George Porter, Jr. of the Meters, Stanton Moore of Galactic, and Robert Walter of Greyboy Allstars-- out October 20 via Anti-. There's also a self-released record due this summer credited to the moniker Flashy Python. The latter includes contributions from members of the Walkmen, Dr. Dog, and Man Man. "I'm confused as to which project I'm addressing at whatever particular time," admitted the singer-songwriter in a recent chat, in which he gave us details about his upcoming records and talked about the future of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

When Robert Johnson Sr. and Tamara Johnson learned they were having a son, it was a celebration. Now the couple has three sons, all of which attended or currently attend L.C. Bird High School. Johnson is living a dream as, beginning in fall 2015, there's a very good chance he'll have three sons playing Division-I sports.
It wasn't until Sunlee and Helen Nguyen's oldest daughter started playing on the Meadowbrook tennis team as a freshman that tennis exploded with popularity in the Nguyen household. Now, it's a way of life.
It would be a fair assessment to say that Thomas Dale freshman Jacob Johnson can swim like a fish.
The indoor track season saw solid team efforts from the Thomas Dale girls and boys, as well the Matoaca boys. Individual standouts were plentiful as well. Here's a preview of who to watch for during the upcoming outdoor season.
Bird softball has a new coach, Deanna Owens, and a new outlook for the 2014 season. "Having a new coach really brought us together," said catcher Carrie Cochran. "The chemistry is unreal."

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 18, 1961 S. VASAN ET AL SEPARATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM AMMONIA Filed June 5, 1958 C02 STRIPPING MEA SOLUTION STRIPPING ABSORPTION FEED GAS CO AND NH:
AMINE PURIFIER SR/N/ VASA/V LUCIE/V H. COOK INVENTORS V United States Patent 2,992,703 SEPARATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM AMMONIA Srini Vasan, Brooklyn, and Lucien H. Cook, Port Washington, N.Y. Filed June 5, 1958, Ser. No. 739,997 6 Claims. (Cl. 183-1142) This invention relates to a method for treating gaseous mixtures containing both ammonia and carbon dioxide for the separation and separate recovery of these two materials. It is more particularly concerned with the final purification of the ammonia after the separation of ammonia and carbon dioxide to obtain an ammonia product which contains less than about 2 parts per million of carbon dioxide by volume.
Mixtures of carbon dioxide and ammonia, with or without other fixed gases and water vapor, are encountered in a number of industries. Thus, for example, such mixtures are found in coal gas and in the conversion of ammonium carbamate to urea. The process of this invention is particularly well adapted for the treatment of concentrated gas mixtures of the type encountered in urea manufacture and in the manufacture of melamine by heating urea, either alone or in the presence of anhydrous ammonia, since it accomplishes the rapid and substantially complete separation of the two gases and purification of ammonia. In its broadest aspects this process is concerned with the separation of carbon dioxide from ammonia down to a few parts per million. In one of its narrower aspects the process is based on the removal of the carbon dioxide from the ammonia and other gases, if present, by scrubbing the feed gas with an aqueous solution of a weak base capable of reversible combination with carbon dioxide followed by the final step of removing the carbon dioxide impurity from the ammonia. A wide variety of weak bases such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, water soluble amines and the like are known to be suitable for carbon dioxide absorption, and may be used, but the preferred class are the water-soluble alltylolamines such as the mono-, diand triethanolamines, propanolamines and the like. It is understood that the preferred ammonia-carbon dioxide separation process employing these amines follows that described and claimed in US. Patent 2,785,045, dated March 12, 1957.
Whenever ammonia is cooled and compressed it is imperative that the remaining carbon dioxide be re moved prior to these operations because if present in ammonia so-lid ammonium carbamate is formed. This compound is a source of considerable trouble whenever encountered in plant operation. If the temperature and pressure conditions are right the carbon dioxide reacts with ammonia to deposit solid ammonium carbamate to plug lines and valves. Furthermore, the grains of ammonium carbamate if present in the ammonia being compressed will scour the cylinder walls of the compressor.
It has been found that although a substantially complete separation of carbon dioxide from mixtures thereof with ammonia can be obtained by a combined absorption and partial stripping of the aqueous absorbing solution as in the patented process referred to above, there will remain in the ammonia olf gas up to 25 or more parts per million of carbon dioxide. In the past this remaining amount of carbon dioxide has been removed by a caustic scrubbing, preferably with a solution of sodium hydroxide. However, this method of final scrubbing is in some ways objectionable because there is a loss of product ammonia gas. Furthermore, some reagent is lost bycombining with carbon dioxide since 2,9Z,703 Patented July 18, 1961 regeneration of the product is often more expensive than the use of fresh reagent.
In the preferred practice of this invention the enriched solvent from the absorbing stage in the solution scrubbing of ammonia-carbon dioxide gas mixtures is subjected to an initial heating, the extent of which is limited to that necessary to strip out or drive off the dissolved ammonia without, however, liberating more than a minor proportion of the absorbed carbon dioxide. The gases so liberated are returned to the absorption stage, thus preventing any substantial loss of ammonia from the gases undergoing treatment. The partially stripped enriched solvent is then further heated in a regenerating stage, with the result that most of its combined carbon dioxide is liberated as a substantially ammonia-free carbon dioxide gas, after which the regenerated solvent is cooled and returned to the absorption stage. The ammonia gas product after removal of carbon dioxide is then passed through an absorbent bed of molecular sieve material composed of an activated zeolitic compound which contains voids having the minimum dimensions not less than about 4.0 angstrom units. Preferably, the smallest dimension should be about 5 augstrom units.
The equilibrium data for carbon dioxide and ammonia adsorption on molecular sieve material .indicate that at the condition of operation described above the equilibrium adsorption capacity for ammonia is 0.15 lb. of ammonia per pound of molecular sieve, whereas the equilibrium of adsorption capacity of carbon dioxide is 0.005 lb. of carbon dioxide per pound of molecular sieve. It has been discovered that it is possible to preferentially adsorb carbon dioxide from ammonia gas, thus stripping the latter to less than 2 parts per million by volume of carbon dioxide even though the equilibrium capacity for carbon dioxide seems much lower than that of ammonia. Another surprising feature of this invention is that it was found that the presence of ammonia in the gas enhances the adsorption capacity of the molecular sieve for carbon dioxide several times. In fact the capacity for carbon dioxide adsorption was found to be enhanced 2-3 times of that indicated by the equilibrium data. Actual dynamic adsorption capacities of carbon dioxide in the presence of large amounts of ammonia have been found to be 0.013 pound of carbon dioxide .per pound of molecular sieve. Evidently the presence of ammonia at the conditions described exerts a synergistic effect over the adsorption of carbon dioxide. These high values were obtained even with the sieve loaded with up to 0.2-0.25 pound of water per pound of sieve. It was also found that no plugging due to any compound formation had incurred. The molecular sieve bed was easy to regenerate and the adsorption was repeated without significant lessening of its capacity.
It is the principal object of this invention to remove practically all of the carbon dioxide which remains in gaseous ammonia after a preliminary scrubbing to remove a major portion of the carbon dioxide down to about 25 par-ts per million. It is a further object of this invention to remove both the residual carbon dioxide and water vapor from an ammonia gas by passing the impure ammonia through an activated zeolitic material having voids whose narrowest dimension is at least about 4.0 angstrom units. Other objects and improvements will become apparent in the further discussion of the invention set forth hereinafter.
The invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawing wherein the single figure is a flow diagram of a preferred embodiment thereof. In this flow sheet the items of equipment are indicated more or less diagrammatically, it being understrom units.
stood that any preferred equipment may be used for the purpose indicated.
Referring to the drawing, reference number 1 indicates generally a carbon dioxide absorber wherein the feed gas may be scrubbed with a cooled aqueous carbon dioxide absorbing agent which is preferably an alkylolamine solvent. The absorber may be a packed tower, a bubble plate column, a gas washer or any other suitable form of gas and liquid contact apparatus that is preferably provided with internal or external cooling coils for removing heat generated by the carbon dioxide absorption. The absorber 1 is operated in combination with a stripping column 2 which may be a separate column, as shown, or may be a lower extension of the carbon dioxide absorber 1. A suitable heater 3 is provided in or adjacent the base of the stripping column 2 in order to impart an initial limited heating to the enriched solvent, and downflow and upflow lines 4 and 5 are provided if two separate columns are used. The feed gas, containing both carbon dioxide and ammonia, may be introduced in the up-flow line 5 as indicated by the arrow, or it may be introduced directly into the base of the column 1.
The ofi-gas from column 1 is then passed through'line to adsorption equipment which contains beds of adsorptive material. Here the carbon dioxide is preferentially adsorbed on a molecular sieve comprising a zeolitic mineral either natural or synthetic, which initially has been dehydrated by heating to temperatures of approximately 650 F. to drive off the water of crystalli'zation. The dehydration treatment leaves the zeolite with approximately the same crystalline structure as the original zeolite. There is a slight shrinkage of the crystalline structure of the zeolite molecule when water is driven oif during heating of the preferred zeolites, but in any event there remains an interstitial void within the molecule which will vary in dimension according to the original crystalline structure of the hydrous zeolite. These voids should have at the narrowest dimension of the void an opening of at least about 4.0 angstrom units and for a process such as described herein, an opening of 5 augstroms is preferred. It has been ascertained that the best zeolitic material for separation of impurities from ammonia, according to this invention, should have a crystal structure approximately that of chabazite, which is a calcium zeolite with an opening of about 5 ang- While these are the preferred types of zeolitic minerals to be used as adsorbents in this process, other natural or synthetic zeolites may be employed in the process of this invention if they maintain their crystalline structure on dehydration at 650 F. and the narrowest dimension of the interstitial voids is 'at least about 4 angstrom units and preferably 5 angstrom units. Fibrousz'eolites similar 'to natrolite have not been found useful since the crystal lattice collapses on heating to dehydration temperatures. Dehydration of the zeolites can be carried out at temperatures as high as about 880 F. but the preferred practice in preparing the natural or synthetic Zeolite as an adsorbent is to heat the mineral to about 650 F. Dehydration is facilitated by heatinto the stripping column 2 wherein it is subjected to an initial limited heating. This heating is carried out only to the extent necessary to drive off the dissolved ammonia which, with a small part of the carbon dioxide that is also unavoidably evolved, is recirculated back to the absorption column through line 5. It will be seen,
therefore, that when steady conditions are attainedthe ammonia dissolved in the absorption column 1 is liberated r-: n H.
in the stripping column 2 and reintroduced into the absorber so that there is substantially no net loss of ammonia from the gases being processed. These gases, substantially free from carbon dioxide, are withdrawn from the column 1 through line 7 and after being washed with aqueous alkali, if necessary, are obtained in a carbon dioxide free condition. The ammonia gases so purified may be converted into liquid ammonia, either by direct condensation or after compressing without interference from the plugging of condensers or pipes due to ammonium carbonate or ammonium carbamate formation.
The carbon dioxide removed from the gases in the absorber 1 and contained in the enriched solvent leaving the base of the stripping column 2 is recovered by subjecting the enriched solvent to a second and more extensive heating in a regenerating stage. For this purpose a stream of the enriched solvent is withdrawn from column 2 through lines 6 and 15 and passed through heat exchanger 16 and line 17 into a regenerating tower or column 18 which may be a fractionating column provided with packing or with bubble plates or other contact means. The column 18 is provided with a reboiler or other heating means 19, which is preferably a tubular heater in which high pressure steam is condensed around the heating tubes. The solvent flowing downwardly from the base of the tower through line 20 is split and a portion flows through the tubes of the heater 19 to be re turned to the stripper 18 through line 21. A tubular condenser 22, supplied with cooling water, receives the gases and vapors leaving the top of the regenerating column through line 23 and a part of the condensate draining therefrom through line 24 is returned to the column 18 as reflux, the remainder being discarded. A stream of substantially pure carbon dioxide, containing little or no ammonia, is drawn off from the top of the condenser through line 25.
The regenerated or lean solvent solution is withdrawn from the column 18 through .line 26, which preferably connects with line 20, and is passed through the outer portion of heat exchanger 16 to assist in heating the enriched solvent entering from line 15. The lean solvent leaves the heat exchanger 16 through line 27 and is further cooled in a cooler 28 by indirect heat exchange with cooling water, after which it passes through line 29 into a storage tank or'surge tank 30. From this tank a stream of the solvent is continuously passed by way of line 31, pump 32, cooler 33 and line 34 into the top of the absorption tower 1 for reusein purifying further quantities of feed gas.
It will be seen from the foregoing description that the stream of aqueous alkylolamine solvent is recirculated continuously through an absorption stage, an ammonia stripping'stage wherein it is partially heated, a regenerating stage where it is further heated, and a cooling stage which may comprise several successive cooling steps. Experience has shown that this repeated heating and cooling of the solvent may cause decomposition products to form therein. In order to offset this degradation, a small side stream of the regenerated or lean solvent may be taken off from line 26 through line 35 and passed into an amine purifier 36-which is a still in which the amine is distilled in the presence of sodium hydroxide or other alkali. The resulting vapors o'f purified alkylolamine and water are passed through line 37 into a condenser 38 and the condensed alkylolamine is returned to the remainder of the solvent by pump 39 and line 40. The
solvent may .be further protected against decomposi tion, if desired, by adding small quantities of a known or preferred inhibitor such as copper iodide, vanadium compounds and the like.
tion column '1 after treatment with the monoethanolamine solution contains from about 25-50 parts per million by volume of carbon dioxide. To remove this amount of carbon dioxide down to 2 parts per million or less, the gas flowing through the line 7 is preferably passed through a cooler 8 to reduce the temperature to around 40-60" F. Cooling will reduce the amount of water contained in the etlluent gas. In an alternate method the gas leaving the column 1 can be cooled with cooling water to 100 F. and the resulting gas sent through an adsorber containing a mixed bed of a dehydrating agent such as alumina, silica gel and the like, followed by a molecular sieve bed. By such a modification, the primary dehydrating agent such as alumina removes the major portion of the water loading of the gas and only a small bed of molecular sieve is required to remove impurities like carbon dioxide. This modification eliminates the need for expensive refrigeration facilities and thus makes the process more economical.
The gas leaving the cool-er 8 flows through the line 9 to the adsorption vessels 10 and 11 which may contain a bed of molecular sieve or optionally a bed of some desiccant activated alumina or silica gel, as a lower layer followed by an upper layer of molecular sieve as shown in the figure. According to the figure, the upper beds 51 and 52 will contain a molecular sieve which has been described above. The lower layers 53 and 54 contain the desiccant which will remove practically all of the water vapor from the incoming gas prior to the contact of said gas with a molecular sieve which is an avid adsorbent for water. By appropriate means well known in the art of treating gases, the valves 55 and 56 are so manipulated as to direct the flow of the ammonia, plus water vapor and carbon dioxide through the proper regenerated adsorbent bed. The illustration cited above describes the mixed bed operation but the process can be successfully operated with cooler gas being sent through a bed consisting of a molecular sieve only.
After having passed through the adsorbent bed until such time as the carbon dioxide reaches the breakthrough point the ammonia gas then flows through the line 61 and out to a storage or further use through the valve 62. This valve is so adjusted as to direct a prescribed amount of ammonia through the heater 64 where the temperature of the ammonia gas is raised to about 400 F. Thereafter by proper manipulation of valves 67 and 68 the heated gas is used to regenerate the remaining adsorbent bed while the adsorption operation is being accomplished in the companion adsorbent bed. Only part of the heat necessary for regeneration is supplied by hot ammonia being recycled through the heater 64. The remainder of the heat required for regeneration is supplied by heating coils embedded in the adsorbent. The heat to be transmitted through the walls of the coil may be furnished by any conventional means; such as a heating medium flowing through the coils or an electrical heating unit. Since the molecular sieve simultaneously dehydrates the 'gas to a very low dew-point as it purifies the gas, the product gas obtained will be practically dry. If a portion of such a dry product gas was used for the regeneration of the molecular sieve bed, the temperature needed for regeneration can be considerably lowered, since regeneration is effective at lower temperatures with a dryer gas.
During the regeneration operation the ammonia and carbon dioxide, as well as water vapor that has been adsorbed onto the molecular sieve is driven oii and returned through the line 69 back to the absorption column 1. By this action no ammonia is lostsince all of the gas from the regeneration operation is led back into the system rather than being vented to the atmosphere. Considerable savings are made by this improvement in the treatment of ammonia and carbon dioxide gases be- .cause even if negligible amounts of ammonia were absorbed along with the carbon dioxide the loss would amount to a substantial sum in the course of a years time. Through this improvement there is no venting of .any gases to the atmosphere before the final carbon dioxide is removed from the ammonia. Another feature of this total recycle regeneration system is that theheat liberated on a fresh molecular sieve bed by ammonia adsorption is eliminated. If any other inert gas were used for regeneration, then the unit has to be purged with ammonia before use.
After regeneration the purified ammonia flowing through valve 63 is permitted to bypass the heater 64 to thereafter flow into the regenerated bed and cool said bed down to a temperature preparatory to a subsequent adsorption operation. The figure shows the flow of the oling gas back to the absorption column 1 through the e 69. As this cooling gas represents only about 1-5 'ofthe total gas flowing through line 61, the return of this ammonia into the system would not be of such an economic loss as to preclude its return into the absorption column in a small plant. However, for large scale plants handling about tons of ammonia gas per day or over, some provision could be made to return the cooling gas back into the line carrying purified ammonia at some point in the line after valve 62. While the figure shows the heater 64- in the line directing the return of purified ammonia into the adsorbent beds for regeneration, it is also contemplated as part of the invention that the use of the heater 64 may be completely avoided by placing heating coils in the adsorbent beds to transmit heat thereto during regeneration.
In the mixed bed adsorption system it was found that the regeneration gas should be passed countercurrently to the adsorption flow scheme and also that the hot gas should first contact the molecular sieve bed of the system and next fiow over the alumina type dehydrating agent. This is necessitated by the fact that an alumina type desiccant is limited to a temperature of up to 500 F. and this scheme avoids the superheating of the alumina, thereby sintering it. Fortuitously, the above mentioned scheme which used dry product gas for regeneration allows the regeneration of the molecular sieve bed at temperatures as low as 400-500 F.
The invention has been described and illustrated above when two adsorbent beds are employed for the steps of adsorption, regeneration and cooling. However, it is within the purview of the applicants invention that a single bed be used with intermittent adsorption, regeneration and cooling steps and ammonia being supplied from storage for regeneration and cooling. A more effective scheme would be the use of three separate beds in which the adsorption, regeneration and cooling operations can be accomplished simultaneously by appropriate piping and valves.
The invention will be further illustrated by the following specific example. It will be understood, however, that although this example may describe some of the preferred features of the invention, including specific beds, concentrations of gases entering the adsorbent vessels and operating temperatures, these features are given primarily for purposes of illustration and that modifications and substitutions may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims,
Example Two adsorbent vessels were established, each containing three foot deep beds of activated alumina and an overlaying bed of a molecular sieve which is approximately two feet in depth. This bed of molecular sieve was made up of a synthetic zeolite which had been heated to about 650 F. to drive oif the water of crystallization and leave the zeolitic material with voids having the smallest dimension of at least 5 angstrom units. The ammonia gas containing 68 parts per million of carbon dioxide and 1% water was introduced into this bed maintained at a temperature of 60 F. Most of the water vapor was adsorbed by the alumina bed and the remaining water, plus the carbon dioxide content, was adsorbed in the zeolitic bed. Adsorption continued for 4 hours until the carbon dioxide started to break through the zeolitic bed as indicated by an I 7 infra-red analyzer. When the carbon dioxide beganto break through the zeolitic bed the valve permitting the flow of gases into the bed was closed and thereafter gases were permitted to flow through the second adsorbent bed. While the second stage of adsorption was being accomplished a portion of the purified ammonia was heated to approximately 400 F. and allow to flow countercurrently through the first bed in order to drive off the carbon dioxide, ammonia and water vapor from both the zeolitic and alumina beds. This regeneration process was allowed to continue for approximately 2 /2 hours, at which time the bed was completely regenerated. Thereafter cool purified ammonia was allowed to flow countercurrently through the regenerated bed for 1 /2 hours to lower the temperature of the bed down to that appropriate for subsequent adsorption operation. The ammonia flowing out the line 61 and through valve 62 contained 2 parts per million of carbon dioxide and also had a low dew-point.
What is claimed is:
l. The method of removing carbon dioxide from a mixture of ammonia and carbon dioxide in which the carbon dioxide is present therein in an amount in excess of 2 parts per million by volume but not greater than 50 parts per million by volume, which comprises passing said gas mixture through a molecular sieve comprising a bed of activated zeolite having voids whose narrowest dimension is at least 4 angstrom units in length to preferentially adsorb the carbon dioxide, continuing adsorption until the carbon dioxide reaches the break through point, heating the zeolite bed by indirect heating means in addition to a countercurrent flow of a portion of the purified ammonia which has been heated to regenerate the zeolitic adsorbent bed, thereafter cooling the adsorbent bed with a cool carbon dioxide-free ammonia gas.
2. The method according to claim 1 in which two (2) zeolitic adsorbent beds are used simultaneously wherein one bed is used for adsorption while the remaining bed is being regenerated and cooled.
3. The method according to claim 1 in which the adsorbent beds comprise a series of beds with a dehydrating material used in the bed which is first contacted by impure gas, followed by second bed of the activated zeolitic material.
4. Amethod according to claim 1 in which the narrowest dimension of the voids in the zeolitic adsorbent is at least 5 angstrom units.
5. A method of separating carbon dioxide from gaseous mixture of ammonia and carbon dioxide which comprises first separating out the carbon dioxide to the extent that no more than 50 parts per million by volume of carbon dioxide remains in the ammonia, thereafter contacting said gas mixture with a reduced amount of carbon dioxide through a molecular sieve comprising a bed of activated zeolite having voids whose narrowest dimension is at least 4 angstrom units in length, to preferentially adsorb the carbon dioxide, continuing adsorption until the carbon dioxide reaches the breakthrough point, heating the zeolitic bed by indirect heating means and in addition flowing a heated portion of the purified ammonia through the zeolitic adsorbent bed in a manner countercurrent to the direction of the flow of gas during adsorption, and thereafter cooling said adsorbent bed with cool carbon dioxidefree ammonia gas.
6. The method aizcording to claim 5 in which the ammonia used for heating and cooling is returned to the first carbon dioxide separation step.

Tucson Values Teachers and Walgreens connect
business and education partners for
6th annual Tucson Supplies Teachers supply drive.
Tucson Values Teachers, Walgreens, Tucson Association of REALTORS®, Pima Federal Credit Union, Cox Communications and KVOA News 4 Tucson's Kristi's Kids Partner on Largest Regional School Supply Drive
TUCSON, Ariz. (August 4, 2014) – Tucson Values Teachers (TVT) and Walgreens combined forces with the Tucson Association of REALTORS®, Pima Federal Credit Union and KVOA News 4 Tucson's Kristi's Kids, as well as a host of other community partners in sponsoring Tucson Supplies Teachers, Southern Arizona's largest school supply drive.

November 26, 2014
November 17, 2007
WASHINGTON (AP) - Photos taken by the Smithsonian along the Appalachian Trail are providing glimpses of wildlife - much of it hidden from visitors - in the forest surrounding the famous footpath.
Researchers attached 50 motion-sensitive cameras in the spring to trees near the trail, but a few dozen yards back to avoid being set off by hikers. More than 1,900 photos have been collected, giving a closer look at the hidden life of the forest - much of which is nocturnal, researchers found.
"We hike during the day, and they hike at night," said William McShea, a Smithsonian ecologist who has led the project.
The goal of the project, part of an effort to study air, water and wildlife along the entire trail, was to document animal traffic along a nearly 600-mile stretch of the footpath in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. To ensure animals stopped in front of the cameras, researchers placed a mixture of animal secretions near the cameras.
White-tailed deer were seen most often, but pictures of more rarely seen animals were also snapped, including a long-tailed weasel, a flying squirrel, wild ponies and more than 10 bobcats.
"There is some wildness left out there," McShea said. "There are wild animals that are living in (and) among us."
However, the Eastern cougar, which is feared to be extinct, was not found. Researchers did see more black bears than they expected, spotting them in 75 of the 273 locations in which the cameras were placed.
The pictures also give a glimpse into the personalities of the animals. Deer often stare blankly, while bears sometimes attacked.
One series shows a bear coming at the camera, and in "the next picture, it's pointed at the ground," said Peter Erb, a former intern at the National Zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Va., a branch of the Smithsonian where the project was based.
Bears also tended to treat the boxy cameras as scratching posts, producing some extreme close-ups of what are believed to be bear rears.
"I don't know of anything else that's that black and furry," volunteer Trish Bartholomew said.
The occasional human was also photographed, in a familiar pose, Smithsonian intern Nicole Daurio said.
"They took a picture of the camera," she said, "while it was taking a picture of them."

Lovina Villa Rental Photos and Description
Villa with 4 en-suite Bedrooms, Sleeps 10, Direct Access to Beach, incl. Staff
Light, air and space are the principles in the design of this beautiful modern villa. It is built by using natural materials such as paras stone, hardwood and bangarai Javanese teak. Eye-catcher is the thatched roof made from alang-alang, Balinese grass.
The villa is set up very spacious and has a large tropical garden and a beautiful swimming pool in which you can swim laps. The pool is surrounded by a large sun terrace with sun beds, umbrellas and a Bale Benong near the beach to relax.
The villa has 4 large and stylish furnished bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, air conditioning and fan. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms built in typical Balinese style. The villa has a fully equipped kitchen and a tastefully and luxuriously furnished living room with glass doors to the terrace from which you have a magnificent view over the Bali sea. All conveniences available such as Wireless Internet, Satellite TV, DVD with sound system, books, CDs & DVDs and 6d/w Staff at your service.
Lovina and Dolphins: Lovina
Villa The Mango Trees is located directly at the beach of Lovina-Beach, about 10 minutes drive west from Lovina, the tourist center of the north.
Lovina is a small but lively village with restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, Spa's for massages and treatments, a supermarket, a local market and even a Swiss Bakery for fresh bread in the morning.
In and around Lovina you have a rich choice of restaurants with delicious national and international cuisines. The prices are still very low, especially in this north part of Bali.
Lovina however, is the most renowned for the dolphins which you can see every morning at dawn during a boat trip. Due to the large population of shrimps at this particularly coastline you will find here year round many dolphins. The boat can be surrounded by dozens of dolphins jumping and playing. If you book a trip, you can arrange to be picked up by a boat in front of the villa. In hotel Melka in Lovina you can actually swim with dolphins.
Snorkeling and Diving: The Balinese sea near Lovina offers several places for great snorkelling and diving. Because of the shallow and calm sea, you will have a good view of the tropical fish.
Certainly worthwhile is a snorkelling or diving trip to Menjangan Island (1 hour drive & 30 minutes by boat). Around the island you will find many colourful fish and coral and this snorkelling site is also very convenient for children as you can start snorkelling directly from the shore of the island. Also worthwhile is a trip to the East coast of Bali (Tulamben) to dive to the famous American war wreck U.S. Liberty.
There are a number of PADI diving schools in Lovina, including a 5 star PADI school called Bali Spice Dive and the well-known school Blue Season Bali Diving at the Zen Resort in Seririt. If you book a snorkelling- or diving trips with one of these schools, they will pick you up at the villa.

Arizona Coyotes
Report: Phoenix Coyotes ready to host outdoor game
People have said for years that hockey wouldn't work in the desert, but behind new ownership, the Phoenix Coyotes are making an impact this season both in the National Hockey League and the Valley.
But the owners are reportedly not stopping at new advertising. They want an outdoor game.
Daly: Phoenix Coyotes told him they're prepared to host an outdoor game— Hockey Central (@SNHockeyCentral) December 9, 2013
The outdoor game would be part of the NHL's Stadium Series, something he also said the league plans to continue on an annual basis but possibly with fewer games.
Daly did not speculate on a venue for the game.
The NHL has recently begun experimenting with outdoor games in warmer climates. The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings will play an outdoor game at Dodger Stadium on Jan. 25.
