A selected contaminant is removed from a gas stream containing an unselected component that is also absorbed by the solvent, although to a lesser degree than the selected contaminant. In a typical application, hydrogen sulfide is removed from a natural gas stream that contains carbon dioxide as an unselected component. The process employs a solvent absorption/regeneration sequence, carried out in an absorber and regenerator, to remove the selected contaminant (hydrogen sulfide, for example) from the gas stream. The overhead gas from the regenerator has a higher concentration of the selected contaminant than the original gas stream. This contaminant rich overhead gas stream is partially employed as a recycle stream that is combined with the original gas stream, with the resulting combined gas stream being fed to the absorber. The increased partial pressure of the selected contaminant in the absorber shifts the operating point, resulting in increased absorption of the selected contaminant relative to the unselected component. The regenerator overhead gas has a relatively high concentration of the selected contaminant.

This invention relates to the treatment of gas streams, and in particular to an improved method for solvent extraction of hydrogen sulfide and other contaminants from sour gas feed stocks, tail gases, ammonia, and flue gas streams.
Hydrocarbon fuel sources such as crude oil, natural gas and coal are often contaminated by significant amounts of sulfur compounds. When the sulfur compounds are burned, objectionable odors and pollutants are created. The extraction of sulfur, generally present in the form of hydrogen sulfide, from feedstocks and tail gases is thus a vital aspect of refinery, natural gas and coal liquification operations.
Hydrogen sulfide is usually removed by solvent extraction, with subsequent regeneration and recycle of the solvent. In many cases, carbon dioxide is also present in significant amounts. The solvent must therefore be selective for hydrogen sulfide in the presence of carbon dioxide. Suitable solvents include aqueous solutions of secondary and tertiary amine, such as diisopropylamine (DIPA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and triethanolamine (TEA). The feedstock gas is contacted with the amine at relatively low temperatures in an absorber to remove the hydrogen sulfide. This step produces a rich amine stream, loaded with H2S and CO2. This rich amine is passed to a stripper/regenerator, usually a tray type column. The solvent is heated and gives off a concentrated acid gas, leaving a lean amine stream that is recycled as fresh solvent to the absorber. The H2S rich concentrated acid gas is routed to a sulfur recovery unit to be converted into elemental sulfur by the well known Claus process:
The Shell Claus Off-gas Treating (SCOT) process for removing sulfur components from Claus plant tail gas was first brought on stream in 1973.Since then, the process has been widely used in the oil refining and natural gas industries, with more than 150 units constructed all over the world. In the standard SCOT process, sulfur compounds in Claus plant tail gas are catalytically converted into hydrogen sulfide. After cooling, the hydrogen sulfide is removed by solvent extraction, in the manner already discussed. The SCOT off-gas (the gas not absorbed in the absorber) is incinerated.
The advantage of the SCOT process is the use of familiar refining technologies. Application of the SCOT process for different types of gas treating units and Claus units raises special design considerations. The sulfur dioxide emissions from the Claus and tail gas treating plants make a significant contribution to the total sulfur dioxide emissions from a refinery. It is therefore important to reduce the sulfur dioxide emissions from these plants to the lowest possible levels.
The standard SCOT process is able to recover 99.9% of total sulfur, resulting in a 250 ppmv sulfur concentration in the SCOT off-gas. In recent years, the demand for higher sulfur recovery efficiencies has resulted in the development of two improved versions to the SCOT process. These are the Low-sulfur SCOT and the Super-Scot processes. The new processes lower the total sulfur content in the SCOT off-gas to less than 50 ppmv, while maintaining low operating costs.
The Low sulfur-SCOT (LS-SCOT) version is characterized by the use of an inexpensive additive to the amine solvent. This additive improves the regeneration of the solvent, and produces regenerated solvent having less hydrogen sulfide, which in turn results in a lower off-gas hydrogen sulfide concentration. Treated off-gas specifications as low as 10 ppmv hydrogen sulfide can be achieved. Because of the additive, LS-SCOT units are preferably designed as a stand-alone SCOT unit. However, the LS-SCOT version has also been tested successfully on integrated SCOT units with DIPA and MDEA solvents.
The Super-SCOT version is based on improved stripping by two-stage regeneration and improved absorption by using a lower lean solvent temperature. These two features can be applied separately or in combination.
The performance of an amine regenerator is normally limited by the equilibrium conditions in the bottom. This condition leads to a direct relationship between stripping steam and the solvent leanness. In order to produce leaner solvent (mol H2S/mol amine), a higher specific steam rate (kg steam/m3 solvent) is required. As in the LS-SCOT method, a leaner regenerated solvent will result in a lower hydrogen sulfide concentration in the SCOT off-gas. However, it is not necessary to regenerate the entire solvent flow to this lower leanness level. The Super-SCOT process therefore uses two-stage regeneration, in which part of the amine solvent flow is more deeply stripped. The resulting super-lean solvent is routed to the top tray of the absorber, while the normal lean solvent enters half-way up the absorber. The use of an additive changes the equilibrium conditions; less steam is required for the same leanness, or a greater leanness can be achieved with the same steam rate.
It is well known that the solubility of hydrogen sulfide in amine solvents increases when the temperature is lowered. Thus, using a lower amine temperature results in improved extraction of hydrogen sulfide from the feed gas, which enables a lower hydrogen sulfide concentration to be achieved compared to the normal SCOT process.
The Super-SCOT method has been shown to achieve a hydrogen sulfide concentration of 10 ppmv H2S or a total sulfur concentration of less than 50 ppmv, and to reduce steam consumption by 30% compared to the standard SCOT unit. Cascading the solvent similar to the standard SCOT is an option to save operating costs.
Because the acid gas from the SCOT regenerator is recycled back to the Claus feed gas, it is important that inert ingredients in the concentrated acid gas be as low as possible in order to avoid build up of inerts, which can severely limit throughput in the Claus/SCOT system. As already discussed, carbon dioxide, which is not treated by the SCOT process, is often present in significant quantities. Therefore, the solvent used in the SCOT process should preferably absorb hydrogen sulfide more readily than it will absorb carbon dioxide.
Because the capacity of the sulfur recovery plant is critical to the capacity for producing finished product, there is continued interest in improving Claus plant capacities and several incremental improvements have been developed for the refining industries.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,263,270, issued to Groenendaal et al., discloses a process for handling gases containing large quantities of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen sulfide and CO2 are extracted by absorption, then the absorbed gas is subjected to the Claus process. The Claus off-gas is reacted in the presence of a catalyst with hydrogen or carbon monoxide, followed by a second extraction that is CO2 selective. Some of the feed gas is bypassed around the Claus unit in some cases.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,153,674, issued to Verloop et al., discloses a process for treating a gas stream that is high in CO2, low in H2S, and also contains significant amounts of COS or other organic sulfur compounds. The process is quite similar to that disclosed in Groenendaal et al., except that the feed gas always bypasses the Claus unit, and is combined with the Claus off-gas before entering the catalytic reactor.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,001,386, issued to Klein et al., discloses a process using cascaded absorbers with a common desorbtion column. A Claus plant and reactor like that in Groenendaal treat the first absorber off-gas before it is fed to the second absorber. The absorbent from the second absorber is cascaded through the first absorber before being desorbed, so that the desorber always processes absorbent having higher H2S partial pressure than that of the Claus off-gas.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,153,674, issued to Verloop et al., discloses a Claus process adapted for increasing the H2S concentration in a gas stream, particularly a gas stream to be fed to a Claus unit. In this process, the feed gas stream flow rate is measured prior to entering an absorber. If this measurement falls below a preset value, a second absorber is connected in tandem into the process similar to the cascaded configuration of Klein et al.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,483,834, issued to Wood, discloses a solvent extraction system that uses an added splitter column to separate the regenerator overhead stream into an H2S stream and a CO2 stream, followed by recycling the CO2 stream back to the absorber inlet. The method has the disadvantage that separation of H2S and CO2 is reduced by recycling the CO2.
The foregoing patents show the continued interest and need for the development of processes that can remove contaminants from gas feedstocks with lower operating costs and more complete removal of sulfur from the gas. A process that can achieve these results with lower capital investment is also desired.
The object of the present invention is to remove a selected contaminant, by means of solvent extraction, from a gas stream that also contains unselected components that can be absorbed in significant amounts. Another object is to achieve the previous object with minimal modification of existing apparatus. Still another object, for streams containing sulfurous contaminants, is to achieve more complete overall removal of sulfur from the gas stream than the conventional SCOT process. A final object is to maximize the capacity of downstream units by reducing the amount of unselected components present in the gas stream discharged from the regenerator.
In general, these objects are achieved by a modified solvent extraction method. The solvent used should have a marked capacity for absorption of the selected contaminant, and relatively less absorption capacity for the unselected components in the gas stream. That is, the solvent used has relative absorption constants greater than one, for the selected contaminants relative to the unselected components. These constants vary directly in proportion to the partial pressure of the selected contaminants in the feed stream, i.e. the absorption capacity of the solvent for the selected contaminants increases with the partial pressure of the contaminants, and does so more quickly than the absorption capacity for the unselected components. Either physical solvents, such as water, propylene carbonate or methyl cyanoacetate, or chemical solvents, such as monoethanol amine (MEA), diethanol amine (DEA) or N-methyl-diethanol amine (MDEA) can be used in such a process. A portion of the contaminant rich gas from the regenerator overhead is recycled and mixed with the gas stream entering the absorber. This raises the partial pressure of the selected contaminants in the gas fed to the absorber, causing a shift in the relative absorption constants that in turn causes greater absorption of the selected contaminants and less absorption of the unselected components. Thus, the separation between the selected contaminants and the unselected components is improved.
An obvious advantage of the improved separation for sulfurous contaminants is that less of the unselected components are sent to any downstream sulfur recovery unit (e.g. CO2 to a Claus process), so the sulfur recovery unit need not be sized to handle the additional gas loading. Greater rejection of the unselected components at the absorber results in a lower total mass flow rate to the sulfur removal unit without significantly affecting the flow rate of the selected contaminants. Thus, either a smaller, less expensive sulfur removal unit may be used or an existing sulfur removal unit can be run at greater capacity.
Another advantage of the invention is the more complete removal of the selected contaminants, due mainly to the improved absorption achieved from increasing the partial pressure of the contaminants fed to the absorber. The efficiency of the basic absorption-regeneration process and the overall efficiency of tail gas treatment are improved.
Finally, the method of the invention can be practiced using a single absorber, instead of both a non-selective absorber and a selective absorber, as in the Groenendaal et al., Klein et al., and Verloop et al. methods. The method also does not require additional columns for further processing of the regenerator overhead gas, as in the Wood method. This results in capital and construction cost savings. However, cascaded absorbers and regenerators can still be employed to improve yield or operating costs, just as in the aforementioned methods.
These and other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description and the associated drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic of a general embodiment of the process of the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic embodiment of the process for tail gas treatment, using a single absorber/regenerator cycle.
FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment thereof, using a multiple absorber/single regenerator cycle.
FIG. 4 shows a schematic of the prior art Super-SCOT process.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic of a Super-SCOT process adapted to employ the process of the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a general case absorption-regeneration process 10 according to the invention, intended to treat a gas stream 12 having a selected contaminant and one or more unselected components. For the following discussion, selected contaminant is defined as one or more chemical components in the stream that is/are intended to be absorbed by the solvent. The unselected components are defined as those components not intended to be absorbed, although some significant absorption can occur. Each of these components depends on the type of gas stream being treated. Table 1 lists some areas where the process of the invention can be employed, along with the selected contaminant and unselected component(s) for each case.
The feed gas stream 12 is fed to a mixer 14 and mixed with a hereafter described recycle stream 16, and the combined gas stream 18 is fed to an absorber 20. In the absorber 20, the selected contaminant is absorbed by a contaminant lean solvent having the properties already discussed. A physical solvent working at relatively high pressure (in the range of 300 psia) can be used for processing natural gas to remove CO2, H2S, COS and CS2, while a chemical solvent is used for processing oil refinery or coal liquification acid gas. Chemical solvents are preferable in the latter case because they can be used to absorb the selected contaminant at slightly more than ambient pressure. A sweetened gas stream 22, with minimal selected contaminant content, is discharged overhead from the absorber 20, and a selected contaminant rich solvent stream 24 is discharged from the bottom of the absorber 20. The contaminant rich solvent stream 24 is preheated in a heat exchanger 26 and sent to a regenerator 28.
In the regenerator 28, the selected contaminant is driven out of the rich solvent stream 24 by heating. The released gas stream emerges from the regenerator overhead as a contaminant rich gas stream 30. The remaining contaminant lean solvent stream 32, now substantially free of selected contaminant, is used to heat the contaminant rich solvent 24 in the heat exchanger 26. The lean solvent stream 32 is further cooled in a cooler 34 before being recycled as a fresh solvent stream 36 to the absorber 20.
After passing through a cooler 38, the contaminant rich gas stream 30 is physically split into two chemically identical streams: a product stream 40 and a recycle stream 16. This splitting can be achieved by any of the normal means used to split gas streams. Some examples include a three-way control valve, two independent control valves, or two independent flow restriction devices such as critical flow orifices. Variable flow control elements are preferred, as these allow the process to be easily controlled for optimum recycle rate, as will be discussed in a later embodiment. The product stream 40 is passed to another process unit, such as a sulfur recovery unit. If the product stream 40 does not require cooling, the cooler 38 can be used in the recycle stream alone.
A novel-feature of the invention is the recycling of the recycle stream 16 to the mixer 14, where it is mixed with the feed gas stream 12. While recycling is common in chemical processing, recycling the regenerator overhead gas has not, in the inventor's knowledge, been employed for solvent extraction. For this discussion, recycling means the returning of all or a fraction of the total mass flow of the designated stream, without any substantial chemical separation or reaction being performed on the stream. Minor treating such as removing entrained liquid or drying the stream can be employed. Thus, the recycle stream 16 has substantially the same chemical composition as the product stream 40. Since the recycle stream 16 is almost entirely made up of the selected contaminant, recycling this stream causes the partial pressure of the selected contaminant in the combined gas stream 18 to be greater than the partial pressure in the feed gas stream 12. This in turns causes a shift in the absorption equilibrium which favors increased absorption of the selected contaminant and relatively reduced absorption of the unselected components. The overall separation of selected contaminant from unselected components is significantly improved, while requiring minimal added equipment. A compressor 42 is required in applications where the inlet pressure at the mixer 12 is higher than the discharge pressure at the cooler 38, such as for natural gas sweetening.
FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment 50 of the claimed process, adapted to treating acid gas streams in industries such as petroleum refining and coal gasification. An acid gas feed stream 52, air 54, and a hereafter described concentrated acid gas stream 56 are processed in a sulfur recovery unit 58 that discharges an elemental sulfur stream 60 and a tail gas stream 62. Hydrocarbon fuel gas 64 and air 66 are fed along with the tail gas 62 to a reducing gas generator 68 for substoichiometric combustion. As an alternative, the tail gas stream 62 can be combined with a hydrogen rich refinery gas stream (not shown) rather than employing the reducing gas generator 68 and the fuel gas and air streams 64 and 66. A hot gas stream 70 is discharged from the generator 68 and sent to a reactor 72, where sulfur dioxide and sulfur are converted to hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a cobalt-molybdenum catalyst or its equivalent. Carbonyl sulfide and carbon disulfide are also converted to hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide in the reactor 72.
An effluent gas stream 74 from the reactor 72 passes through a boiler 76, generating waste low pressure steam 78, and continues to a quench column 80. The quench column 80 emits a sour water stream 82 and a hydrogen sulfide bearing acid gas stream 84 that is treated by the claimed process. A mixer 86 combines the acid gas stream 84 and a hereafter described recycle stream 88, feeding the combined gases 90 to absorber 92, where hydrogen sulfide is absorbed by MDEA or another H2S selective solvent. Sweetened gas 94 is passed to an incinerator (not shown) for thermal decomposition and disposal. A hydrogen sulfide rich solvent stream 96 is heated in a heat exchanger 98 and fed to a regenerator 100.
In the regenerator 100, the heated solvent gives up its absorbed gases, which emerge as a hydrogen sulfide rich concentrated acid gas stream 102. The lean solvent stream 104, substantially free of H2S, is returned to the absorber 92 after passing through the heat exchanger 98 and a cooler 106. The concentrated acid gas stream 102 is physically split into two streams, with one stream being employed as the recycle stream 88 and the balance 56 being re-processed through the sulfur recovery unit 58. Since the pressures at the sulfur recovery unit 58 inlet and the absorber 92 inlet are substantially equal and somewhat lower than the upstream pressures, the flow rates of the concentrated acid gas stream 56 and the recycle stream 88 can be set by selecting pipe sizes so that there is no need for variable flow control devices such as valves. However, using such a device has other advantages, as will be discussed later.
FIG. 3 shows the process of FIG. 2 using two cascaded absorber columns. Elements in FIG. 3 performing the equivalent function to elements in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numbers. The FIG. 3 process duplicates the FIG. 2 method up to the mixer 86, which now feeds a primary absorber 110. The primary absorber 110 performs the initial absorption of hydrogen sulfide by the solvent. The partially sweetened off gas 112 from the primary absorber 110 is fed to a secondary absorber 114 that further extracts H2S, discharging a sweetened product gas 116 that contains a lower concentration of H2S than that obtained using the FIG. 2 method. The sweetened product gas 116 is passed to an incinerator (not shown) for final disposal, and in some cases can be sent directly to the incinerator stack, bypassing the incinerator. The H2S rich solvent streams 118A and 118B from the primary and secondary absorbers 110 and 114 are combined into a single stream 120, that is heated in a heat exchanger 98 and fed to a common regenerator 100. Regenerated solvent, substantially free of selected contaminant, is cooled in the heat exchanger 98 and a cooler 106 and supplied as contaminant lean solvent to both the primary and secondary absorbers 110 and 114. As in FIG. 2, the concentrated acid gas 102 from the regenerator overhead is physically split into two streams, with a recycle stream 88 being sent back to the mixer 86 and the balance 56 being sent to the sulfur recovery unit 58.
The embodiment of FIG. 3 has the advantage of producing a sweetened off gas with lower H2S concentration, but requires a second absorber.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a prior art Super-SCOT process, before and after enhancement by the inclusion of the present invention. The prior art method will be discussed first, so that the added features and advantages of the present invention can be contrasted to the prior art afterward. Elements that perform equivalent functions in FIGS. 4 and 5 are given the same reference numbers.
In the conventional Super-SCOT process, an acid gas feed stream 130, air 132, and a hereafter described concentrated acid gas stream 134 are processed in a sulfur recovery unit 136 that discharges an elemental sulfur stream 138 and a tail gas stream 140. Hydrocarbon fuel gas 142 and air 144 are combined with the tail gas 140 and combusted under substoichiometric conditions (i.e. insufficient oxygen for complete combustion) in a reducing gas generator 146. A hot gas stream 148 is discharged from the generator 146 to a reactor 150, where sulfur dioxide and sulfur are converted to hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a cobalt-molybdenum catalyst or it equivalent. Carbonyl sulfide and carbon disulfide are also converted to hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide.
An effluent gas stream 152 from the reactor 150 passes through a boiler 154, generating waste low pressure steam 156, and continues to a quench column 158. The quench column 158 emits a sour water stream 160 and a hydrogen sulfide bearing acid gas stream 162 that is treated by solvent extraction.
In an absorber 164, hydrogen sulfide is absorbed by the H2S selective solvent and sweetened gas 166 is passed to an incinerator (not shown) or the incinerator stack for final disposal. A hydrogen sulfide rich solvent stream 168 is heated in heat exchangers 170 and 172 and fed to a first regenerator section 174A.
In the first regenerator section 174A, the heated solvent gives up its absorbed gases, which emerge as the hydrogen sulfide rich concentrated acid gas stream 134. A lean solvent stream 176 from the first regenerator section 174A is divided, with part 178 being passed to a second regenerator section 174B and the balance 180 being cooled in the heat exchanger 170 and recycled to the absorber 164. The partially processed solvent stream 178 is further treated in the second regenerator section 174B. The released gases 182 from the second regenerator section 174B are returned to the first regenerator section 174A for further treating. A super-lean solvent stream 184 from the second regenerator section 176B is cooled in the second heat exchanger 172 and a separate cooler 186, and recycled to the absorber 164. The concentrated acid gas stream 134 from the regenerator overhead is sent to the sulfur recovery unit 136 for further treating.
In the improved Super-SCOT process of FIG. 5, a mixer 200 is added before the inlet to the absorber 164, and combines the acid gas stream 162 with a recycle stream 202 that is split off from the concentrated acid gas stream 134 discharged from the first regenerator section 174A. The balance 204 of the stream goes to the sulfur recovery unit 136 for further treating.
The concentration of H2S in the concentrated acid gas stream 134 varies with the percentage of the stream that is employed as the recycle stream 202. As the flow of the recycle stream 202-is initiated and gradually increased, the mass flow rate of the concentrated acid gas stream 134 will decrease, but the mass flow rate of hydrogen sulfide in the stream 134 remain substantially the same. At some point, this effect flattens out so that further increases in flow rate of the recycle stream 202 have no substantial effect on the flow rate of the balance stream 204 sent to the sulfur recovery unit 136.
The optimum recycle stream flow rate is determined by a process controller 206. A flow meter 208 measures the volume flow rate of the recycle stream 202, while another flow meter 210 measures the volume flow rate of the balance stream 204. An analyzer 212 measure the H2S concentration in the balance stream 204 which is multiplied by the total stream flow rate to find the mass flow of H2S going to the sulfur recovery unit 136. The controller 206 adjusts the flow rate of the recycle stream 202, using a variable flow restriction 214 (e.g. a control valve), to obtain the smallest practical flow rate for the recycle stream 202 while maintaining the desired mass flow rate of H2S to the sulfur recovery unit 136.
A comparison of the processes of FIGS. 4 and 5 helps to illustrate some advantages of the claimed process. Assuming that the flow rate and composition of the acid gas feed stream 130 are the same for both systems, the tail gas streams 140 will be substantially equal, as will the other streams prior to the absorber 164. The sweetened gas H2S concentration will also be roughly equal for both systems. However, the flow rate of the sweetened gas stream 166 will be significantly greater for the invention, due to better separation of the selected contaminant from the unselected components.
The claimed invention has been shown in several embodiments. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to these embodiments, and is amenable to various modifications and changes within the scope of the claims and this specification.

Lula Bowman has finally achieved her dream: a teaching position and a scholarship to continue her college education in mathematics. But then a shocking phone call from her sister, Jewel, changes everything.
With a heavy heart, Lula returns to her Oklahoma hometown to do right by her sister, but the only teaching job available in Dunn is combination music instructor/basketball coach. Lula doesn't even consider those "real" subjects
Determined to prove herself, Lula commits to covering the job for the rest of the school year. Reluctantly, she turns to the boys' coach, Chet, to learn the newfangled game of basketball. Chet is handsome and single, but Lula has no plans to fall for a local boy. She's returning to college and her scholarship as soon as she gets Jewel back on her feet.
However, the more time she spends around Jewel's family, the girls' basketball team, music classes, and Chet, the more Lula comes to realize what she's given up in her single-minded pursuit of degree after degree. God is working on her heart, and her future is starting to look a lot different than she'd expected.

ActiveX is a loosely defined set of technologies developed by Microsoft in 1996 for sharing information among different applications. ActiveX is an outgrowth of two other Microsoft technologies called OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model). As a moniker, ActiveX can be very confusing because it applies to a whole set of COM-based technologies. Most people, however, think only of ActiveX controls, which represent a specific way of implementing ActiveX technologies. Many Microsoft Windows applications use ActiveX controls.

Audi Quattro - Group B, the Days of Madness
Credits for this video: www.youtube.com/amjayes
Group B was introduced by the FIA in 1982 as replacement for both Group 4
(modified grand touring) and Group 5 (touring prototypes) cars.
Group A referred to production-derived vehicles limited in terms of power,
weight, allowed technology and overall cost. The base model had to be mass
produced (5000 units/year) and had to have 4 seats. Group A was aimed at
ensuring a large number of privately-owned entries in races.
By contrast, Group B had few restrictions on technology, design and the
number of cars required for homologation to compete—200, less than other
series. Weight was kept as low as possible, high-tech materials were
permitted, and there were no restrictions on Boost, which turned out to mean almost
unlimited power. The category was aimed at car manufacturers by promising
outright competition victories and the subsequent publicity opportunities
without the need for an existing production model. There was also a Group
C, which had a similarly lax approach to chassis and engine development,
but with strict rules on overall weight and maximum fuel load.
Group B was initially a very successful concept, with many manufacturers
joining the premier World Rally Championship, and increased spectator
numbers. But the cost of competing quickly rose, and the performance of the
cars proved too much, resulting in a series of fatal crashes. As a
consequence Group B was cancelled at the end of 1986 and Group A
regulations became the standard for all cars until the advent of World
Rally Cars in 1997.
In the following years Group B found a niche in the European Rallycross
Championship, with cars such as the MG Metro 6R4 and the Ford RS200
competing as late as 1992. For 1993, the FIA replaced the Group B models
with prototypes that had to be based on existing Group A cars, but still
followed the spirit of Group B, with low weight, 4WD, high turbo Boost
pressure and staggering amounts of power.

Comments about Whirlpool Diamond Steel 4.5 Cu. Ft. Duet Front Load Steam Washer:
I love doing laundry. After a very low tech, top loader which lasted 17 years, this washer and it's numerous cycles is a revelation. Cleans very well, and gets most stains out without pretreating. This particular model has a cartridge that you fill once with HE detergent, and then the machine determines the amount of detergent to add based upon setting selections and size of load. This is great to make sure you use the correct amount rather than be heavy handed. It has done an outstanding job on my husband's very dirty work clothes as well as delicate antique lace curtains.The spin cycles can be a bit "whiney" (think sonic jet engine) but since my laundry room is off the kitchen, this isn't a major issue. I have tried every setting, and have been pleased with all of them. The on/off button is sensitive, and I have inadvertently turned the machine by brushing against it. Note, the button to start the machine takes more pressure and so the machine did not start, just turned on. Cute musical tones (which can be turned off) when the cycle is finished.The major con is that the drawer with the detergent cartridge/fabric softener/bleach container ends up with a great deal of water in it after washing. In talking to the Abt repair man (who was over to check out another appliance), this is a design flaw and there is now way around pulling the drawer out, removing the detergent injection cartridge, and emptying the water, then putting it all back. If you are just doing one load, this might be a pain, but if you are doing a number of loads in one day, this isn't much of a problem. As with all front loader, you also need to leave the open after you finished washing clothes to dry out the machine and prevent odors, and clean the washer with Afresh. This model has a clean washer cycle and will let you know when you need to do this.We originally purchased the pedestals to go with the washer and dryer, however, that made them too tall to fit under our built in cabinets in the laundry room. I was concerned that it would be difficult to get our clothes in and out, but we have not have any issues retrieving items. Since we do not have the pedestals, you will need to bend over to see the temp, spin, soil settings straight on if you are going to modify them, since the lights seem to illuminate more than one setting if viewing from an angle.Great Abt delivery people! They delivered other appliances to me and were very informative about use. The installers immediately recognized there was going to be a problem with using the pedestals, took them back, and we received a next day refund of the purchase price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This series of occasional papers explores key issues and themes surrounding the internationalization and global engagement of higher education. Papers include analysis, expert commentary, case examples, and recommendations for policy and practice.
Based on an analysis of standards of good practice set forth by organizations in the U.S. and around the world, this paper identifies key issues entailed in developing and implementing sound international partnerships, and explores strategies for addressing them effectively. Examples and advice from a variety of programs and institutions are included.
This study explores international joint and dual degree programs administered by U.S. colleges and universities. Topics include program characteristics and policies, academic focus areas, partner locations, and programmatic challenges, as well as the role of joint and dual degree programs in broader institutional strategy and planning.
This paper explores issues discussed by North American and European institutional leaders at the summer 2012 Trans-Atlantic Dialogue, including the impact of the economic downturn on internationalization efforts, the role of student mobility, curriculum, and co-curriculum in internationalization, language and cultural issues inherent in global engagement, and student learning assessment.
This paper examines emerging opportunties for colleges and universities to engage globally, and asserts that institutions are better served in partnerships abroad if they have undergone the process of comprehensive internationalization first. Topics include models for collaboration, institutional "foreign relations" policies, fiscal motivations for global engagement, and higher education's role in national interests and public diplomacy.

Tonight, we packed the Tsongas Arena in Lowell for Chris Tomlin's "Burning Lights" tour. It was a great night of worship! At the beginning of the night, I decided not to bring my big camera with me, because I was just going to enjoy the concert, instead of viewing it through a camera lens. For the most part, that's what I did, but I couldn't help but capturing a few songs on video. If he ever tours in your area, I highly recommend going!

OZARK (KFSM)- A local mother is preparing to meet the man who now has her son's heart after he was killed in a motorcycle wreck.
Kevin Keech's mother, Kelli Cox, said he died after running into another vehicle at an intersection on March 1, 2014 in Franklin County.
"He had a huge heart," Cox said. "He always said he wanted to help people."
Cox said emergency crews took the 19-year-old by ambulance to a Fayetteville hospital.
"They took us to a room and we thought we were going to discuss how we're going to treat him and they told us he didn't make it," Cox said. "Just reliving that day, it's pretty hard to deal with that."
Cox said she's been in touch with the man who has her son's heart by email.
"He is a 55-year-old man," Cox said. "He's from Nebraska."
Cox said it's amazing…

Not enough evidence, God! Not enough evidence!

The great atheist philosopher Bertrand Russell was once asked what he would say if he found himself standing before God on the judgment day and God asked him, "Why didn't you believe in Me?" Russell replied, "I would say, 'Not enough evidence, God! Not enough evidence!'"
Interesting sentiment from Russell if you think about it for a minute.
I'm not trying to show any disrespect for Russell, or to diminish his intelligence, or make light of his sincerity in the least. I am sure Russell's beliefs were sincere and I believe he had genuine and, in his mind anyway, logical and rational reasons for having such beliefs
That being said, the statement "Not enough evidence, God! Not enough evidence!" is loaded with problems.
Problem number one is what God Himself has to say. I don't think He minces any words here. [emphasis added]

Generic PostSaturday, March 28th, 2015
I'm not a big submachine gun person. But when I was given a brochure from the Nevada Pistol Academy, I had to think twice. I wasn't torn between wanting a submachine gun or not. I couldn't decide if the design was wonderful or horrible. It used to be so easy. In the 1950s, graphic design was good if it had Helvetica and a Swiss grid. Then the 1960s Fillmore posters and Herb Lubalin shook that all up. When the Cult of the Ugly thing happened in the 90s it was even more confusing. And now the Default Design Dutch-like work has everyone wondering if something is designed or not designed.
Is the Pistol Academy brochure the height of Default Design and irony? It uses naive system font typography, has white boxes on top of images with Japanese characters, and a Times Roman map. If a designer I respected made this would I love it and think the mix of centered and flush left copy was genius? It's all quite confusing.
Let's leave it this way: if you love default Dutchy design, this is a work of art. If you don't, it's undesigned and bad. Or you could stay somewhere in the middle and wake up at 3am wondering, "Is that Nevada Pistol Academy brochure delightful or disgusting?"

way behind already....
I know I'm already way behind on things relating to plants this season. Quick! while my granddaughter is napping I'm trying to get some seeds started under some florescent. lights. Among the packets I've picked up are Zinnias. Are these ok to start indoors?...or do they do better to wait and plant the seeds outside in early June? I'm in Sturgeon Bay, Door County WI.
I also have some sweet pea seeds...which should soak overnight. first. Would these appear faster if I start them indoors? I'm dying to start something now that I've got the light fixture hanging level above my dryer.
Darn...baby's waking up.....I'll got something started before the sunset!!!
thanks drakens.....Right now I'm just talking about starting seeds indoors - under lights. I did put seeds for poppies out last week though...because they benefit from alternate feezing and thawing before they germinate. And I put in some sugar snap peas as well.
Drakens, you aren't kidding there.
After over a week of 70's (and one day of 80!) here in Chicago.... I couldn't help it and purchased annuals.
Talk about overly optimistic (sigh....shakes head). All will be spending the next several days on my kitchen table, as SNOW is predicted on Monday.
Zenda (goddess of weather to the sailors) is really screwing with us!

Seattle, Air, 9 Nights, Alaska Cruise, From $1,209

Starting January 26, 2012, all packages including airfare are required to include taxes and fees in the price. Please contact the tour company to see if the cost of this package has been affected.

This rug is a great looking rug. I received many compliments, but it just wouldn't stop shedding. I've had the rug for over 4 months and was really hoping it would stop or slow down- NOPE- and I've had enough. Plus, I've a newborn and I just can't see him crawling around on the rug and my watching to see if the fibers will end up on or in his body.
Perfect fit for my dinning room. It turned my cold dark wood floors into a cozy, welcoming space to be in. I love love love the rug.
I have had my rug for over 2 months and have received so many compliments but It needs lot of care so when I vacuum I vacuum it very gently like a baby but one thing I can tell you it leaves a statement in your home when some one walks in, its very soft and very rich looking. I am rather surprise that some will such a product on OS.

EXA Acceleration For The Old ATI Rage Driver
Published on 29 April 2012 09:46 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
31 Comments
If you happen to be an unfortunate soul still using an old ATI Rage graphics processor, the "R128" driver now has EXA acceleration support after about a decade and a half of the hardware being around.
XAA support set for removal
within the X.Org Server, many of these ancient graphics processors / drivers could go without 2D acceleration for anyone out there still using such outdated hardware but still insisting on running the latest software. However, for users of the ATI R128 open-source driver, there is now EXA acceleration support for this X.Org driver.
An independent user, Connor Behan, decided to implement EXA support with the XAA support set to be stripped away. The R128 driver then has accelerated support for solid, copy, and composite operations with EXA. Testing has been done with and without DRI support, with and without the Composite extension, and it's support looks to be in good shape for this XAA successor. Hardware cursor and X-Video support are also supported, but it might need additional work according to the developer.
Tacking in EXA support to the Rage 128 open-source driver is about a 2,000 line patch, which for now can be found on
the xorg-devel mailing list
until integration into the DDX driver.
The R128 driver supports all ATI Rage 128 graphics cards, including the ATI Rage Fury, XPERT 128, and XPERT 99 AGP cards. This is hardware from the late 90's in the days of AGP 2x, OpenGL 1.2, Microsoft Direct3D 6.0, 250nm manufacturing, and a transistor count in the single-digit millions.
