Transparency my ass.
I really wonder how a libtard gets such ideas. The Republicans in the country are largely FOR pipelines. The Demotards and their railroad-owning buddy Warren Buffet, want more railroads.
Mod up!
If you want to do what the high-dollar bank auditors do that I have to deal with (banking IT customers), just BUY a pen test app, run it on network, and hand over a 300 page PDF that includes goofy things like "LaserJet 4000 Printer - Old/No SSL web interface. Upgrade firmware recommended."
Exactly. If they wanted health care reform, they'd have cut the insurance companies out of the middle, place malpractice lawsuit limits in place, etc.
My rates went up about 25% the first year, deductibles DOUBLED. Second year, another 25% on the premium, they game us some funky health savings fund as a "bonus" but after you go through the $500 the company places in there, you're on the hook for the next $5000 in deductibles.
We used to have a nice 80/20 plan...
People getting subsidies that weren't supposed to get subsidies, or got too much, and now have no job, but have to pay back some of the subsidies because it's not counted as income?
Oh, don't forget that the IRS sent out everyone's 1099 (or whatever it was) with incorrect info, causing people to have to pay their tax-prep service AGAIN for amended returns.
Great process, that Obummercare is.
Get your head out. Of course he didn't personally do that, but I know MANY doctors (including my old family physician), simply said "enough of the BS" and quit their practice. My doctor, that I wish I could have kept, is now back at the Univ. of Iowa med school...
330+ page summary into four pages? This isn't fucking Cliff Notes you saw when writing a book report in high school!
Mod parent up!
Exactly... Once it's under the jurisdiction of the FCC, there's very little we can do. I'm envisioning FCC licenses for various websites. You're a blogger? You reach over 10,000 "listeners"? You must pay for a broadcast license! Just like the airways are "common," the interwebs will be considered "common" and could be subject to the same rules as you see in radio/TV.
Amen -- 300+ pages of 'regulation' that's conveniently not set to be publicized until after it's approved.
Can't wait for them to rule on licenses for websites like
Much better than melting: I target shoot my old drives with a 5.56 62 grain steel core round. Pretty much shreds everything with one hit.

Hi I'm Leah president of ATN World News. We air to over 15 million listeners weekly around the world through WWCR a world wide super station. We are News & Inspiration. We post the news the mainline news is silent on through our daily news blog and we are re-posted in several online newspapers. You will find Current News, Exposés, Conservative News Reports, Bible Prophecy and updates on Israel. We are also doing Interviews with some of the top Christian Music Artists in the world today, concerning current issues for a time such as this. Many of the artists are Multi-Dove winners, Grammy nominated and have earned Gold Records.
ATN World News
ATN World News
I feel it is like Christian Music history in the making, a movement, a crucial part of reaching people with biblical teachings they may not receive in their church, but will receive from their favorite artist. It's not just their music we are talking about, but also world events in light of Scripture. For instances, you will hear Dallas Holm (songs, Rise Again, I saw the Lord) talking about Bible Prophecy and a falling away through false teachers. Michael Card (songs, El Shaddai, Love Crucified Arose) speaking on current news and trials and how to deal with suffering. Another legendary Christian Music Artist, Scott Wesley Brown (songs, He Will Carry You, Yeshua Ha Mashiach) is doing several broadcasts with us because he is on our ATN World News Team, he brings facts, stats, and current news info all with a Biblical understanding. Then, there's the music itself from all these gifted artists we have interviewed and will be interviewing. News with music inspiration.
You can download our broadcasts for free from itunes under ATN World News and you can check our daily news through our blog and several social sites. We here at ATN are living in the Soli Deo Gloria (Glory Belongs To God Alone)! Come join us! We love you and most of all God loves you! You can leave prayer requests on our contact Pg. Blessings!

"Ugly websites convert better than pretty websites."
Anyone who has been around marketing or conversion optimization for long has heard that.
It's a very simplistic view of website design, but it's not completely incorrect.
The typical "ugly" website looks like it was designed 10 years ago by a high school computer whiz.
Despite being hideous to any designer, there are some incredibly popular and/or high-converting ugly websites out there.
So before you go spend 50% of your budget on a new updated website design, let me show you why ugly designs are often best from a user's perspective.Continue Reading

A partial hand-count was demanded afterwards by Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich and obscure Republican candidate Albert Howard, revealing thousands of mis-tallied votes had occurred on Election Night in towns across the state.
New Hampshire, Utah and dozens of other states use the same type of voting systems that were shown to be easily manipulated in the climactic final scene of the 2006 Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Hacking Democracy as well as numerous scientific analyses carried out across the country over the past several years.
Nonetheless, while some 20% to 30% of voters will be forced to vote on 100% unverifiable touch-screen voting systems next year, the very same paper-ballot optical-scan machines that failed in 2008 in the New Hampshire primary and in this month's Provo Municipal Council race (and in dozens of other elections over the years) are set to be used once again all across the country during the 2012 Presidential election cycle.
It's unlikely that voters in any of the elections held on those systems will see ballots actually counted by human beings prior to "winners" and "losers" being declared on Election Night. It's also extremely rare that hand-tallies will be carried out afterwards or that elections results will be allowed to be overturned thereafter, even in the event that mis-tallies are discovered.
Watch the climactic final scene of HBO's Hacking Democracy , when the results of a mock paper ballot election held on a Diebold op-scan system in Leon County, FL are invisibly flipped by the op-scan system to report the opposite of the votes seen cast on the actual paper ballots...

Near-Gem 1812 Half Eagle, Wide 5D Variety1812 $5 MS64 NGC. B. 1-B, Miller-118, R.3. Wide 5-D. The obverse is well struck, while the reverse has only the slightest weakness of strike on the eagle's plumage. A pinscratch is carefully concealed within the shield, but the surfaces are otherwise pleasing and have luminous bright luster. The final star has a notch on the lower outside corner, which is generally acknowledged as a signature of engraver John Reich. Reich also designed both sides of this scarce type, with the eagle motif undergoing only minor changes for nearly the next century. (NGC ID# 25PL, PCGS# 8112)

The formal commissioning ceremony for Shoalhaven 30, the latest addition to the Marine Rescue NSW fleet, a $680,000 Steber 38 offshore rescue vessel, took place today (Sunday 28 August) at Greenwell Point on the NSW Illawarra coast.
Shoalhaven 30 in action
Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos, said 'Shoalhaven 30, will be a valuable addition to marine search and rescue capability on the South Coast, boosting safety for the local boating community.'
'This is one of four new vessels of its kind that will be purpose-built in 2011 by internationally successful NSW boat builder, Steber International, of Taree, to meet our search and rescue specifications,' Commissioner Tannos said, 'and she forms an important part of our strategically located safety net of offshore vessels covering the NSW coastline.'
'Our coverage of the Illawarra to mid South Coast is exceptional with Marine Rescue units operating from ten separate locations in the 84 nautical miles between Wollongong and Batemans Bay.'
Shoalhaven Unit Commander Bill Carter said, 'Shoalhaven 30 provides Marine Rescue Volunteers operating out of Greenwell Point a far more capable platform for carrying out marine rescues in their area. She can be deployed up to 30 nautical miles offshore and is faster, safer and can operate in more adverse conditions than any previous vessel stationed at Greenwell Point.
'We carry out around 120 rescues each year from here and Shoalhaven 30 is equipped for the job to ensure that future rescues are performed quickly, efficiently and safely for both the volunteer crews and the crews of disabled vessels. State of the art electronics on board include Raymarine navigation, Icom marine radio electronics, Furuno AIS (Automatic Identification System), FLIR night vision, Radio Direction Finding and advanced first aid equipment, including Australian Defibrillators cardiac defibrillator and oxygen therapy.
'This is a busy fishing and cruising region,' he continued, 'Boaties putting to sea at Greenwell Point routinely fish popular areas including the distant Sir John Young Banks, Jervis Bay Canyons and the Kiama Canyons chasing not only smaller fish but also the larger seasonal pelagic species.'
'Shoalhaven 30 has also been given the additional name of A.M. McGilvray II, after the founder of the original volunteer marine rescue organisation her in the 1970's.'
James Glissan QC, Chairman of Marine Rescue NSW said, 'More than 5,000 working hours have gone into the construction of Shoalhaven 30, involving shipwrights, electricians, upholsterers, marine engineers, cabinet makers, fibreglass laminators and apprentices.
'We are proud that we have been able to make an important contribution to the NSW economy and development of local skills in our state.'
Commissioner Tannos acknowledged the vital support of the NSW Government and the boating community for Marine Rescue's essential services.
'The generous financial support MRNSW receives from the State Government and members of the boating community as a contribution from their boat licences and registrations has enabled us to embark on an ambitious program to modernise our rescue fleet, including commissioning Shoalhaven 30,' he said.
'Our number one priority is safety on the water for both our volunteers and the boating community. We are working to provide our volunteers with up-to-date, safe and reliable equipment so they can continue providing the NSW recreational boating community with their valuable services.
'The ongoing annual Government grant of $1.4 million, plus around $5 million from the boating community through NSW Maritime, means that MRNSW can depend on about 50 per cent of the budget we need to provide NSW with a world-class marine search and rescue, radio network and education service for safer boating.
'Even with this funding support, as a community-based organisation, we still need to rely on our volunteers' energetic fundraising to contribute towards the $14 million we need to provide our valuable services.
'Shoalhaven 30 at Greenwell Point is another tangible demonstration of Marine Rescue NSW's commitment to saving lives on the water.'
Commissioner Tannos reminded boaters to always log on and log off with their local Marine Rescue radio base whenever they are on the water. To find your local base, visit click here.

All Purpose Nigger: A reference to a person who is tasked with performing many types of (often menial) duties at the request of others. The APN, despite the use of the term "nigger" does not have to be black. APN would be similar to "jack of all trades" except in a more derogatory sense.
Call the APN and have him run that cable through the ceiling tiles.
Yes, yes... I'll pick-up the dog shit right away 'cuz I'm such a good APN.

First thing I do after installing Windows is disable User Account Control. It's completely useless if you know what you're doing, and it's annoying to allow a program you trust every single time you launch it. Now if it had a "remember this choice" option then I might leave it on.

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Reaching an entire new realm of sonic possibilities this time out, Awake is situated in the present, reaching Hansen's vision of Tycho like never before. "This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record."
Following 2011's Dive LP, the San Francisco, California based designer toured extensively, accompanied by a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) continued to join Scott on the road, but it was the particular addition of Rory O'Connor's live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision for what the future of what Tycho could be. "After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album," Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho's creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current incarnation.
In a cabin near Lake Tahoe last winter, Hansen and Brown began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn't until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with O'Connor that it all fell into place. "It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record," says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with live instruments coming to the forefront. Perhaps it was leading up to this all along, songs like "Montana" and "Awake" perfectly exemplify Tycho's new, amped up, sound – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while "See" and "Dye" echo ideas from previous works but with a clear with a view to the future. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might have previously layered under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns. Together they bridge an ethereal middle ground between old memories and new experiences, "While I grew up in California, I spent a lot of time as a kid in places like Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Montana," says Hansen, "I got back in touch with those areas over the past few years and they inspired me a great deal." Hansen went on to build those images into the foundation behind the artwork for Awake, "I created the cover art to be a symbol, or a flag, to represent this fictional region comprised of idealized elements of all these western states."
Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen's visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. "This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit," notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition from Hansen's delicate solo approach to constructing a song, tweaking each peak and valley, but 'Awake' is three like-minded people coming together where music becomes the sole purpose and true expression becomes the result.

Can You Find the Correct Answer to This Tricky GMAT Question?
This is hard to confess publicly but I must because it is a prime example of how GMAT takes advantage of our weaknesses – A couple of days back, I answered a 650 level question of weighted averages incorrectly. Those of you who have been following my blog would understand that it was an unpleasant surprise – to say the least. I know my weighted averages quite well, thank you! For this comedown, I blame the treachery of GMAT because it knows how to get you when you become too complacent. The takeaway here is – no matter how easy and conventional the question seems, you MUST read it carefully.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS Mass Transfer from CO2 Drops and the Apparent Solubility of CO2 Under Deep-Ocean Conditions Yi Zhanga, Ronald J. Lynnb, Gerald D. Holderc and Robert P. Warzinskib* a University of Pittsburgh, Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 1249 Benedum Hall, Pittsburgh, PA 15261 b U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, P.O. Box 10940, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 c University of Pittsburgh, School of Engineering, 240 Benedum Hall, Pittsburgh, PA 15261 *Corresponding Author FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS ABSTRACT Understanding the behavior and fate of CO2 in aqueous systems is important both for developing potential CO2 sequestration options and for understanding the impacts of seepage or leakage of the stored CO2 into aqueous environments, such as an unintentional release of CO2 into the deep ocean from a sub-oceanic sequestration reservoir. To address these important issues, the National Energy Technology Laboratory has developed a unique facility to better understand the behavior of CO2 in aqueous environments under high pressure. In this device, individual CO2 drops are observed during suspension in a countercurrent flow of seawater and dissolution rates of the drops are obtained by direct measurement through high- pressure windows. Dissolution rates have been obtained under a range of conditions that include those that exist in the deep ocean down to 3000 m. Similar data were also obtained with elevated levels of dissolved CO2 in the seawater that simulate the conditions that may occur near a release point. It was observed that stable hydrate shells would form if sufficient dissolved CO2 was present. A model was developed based on the dissolution rates obtained at different background concentrations of CO2 that allows calculation of mass transfer coefficients and apparent solubilities of CO2 at different temperatures and pressures. The impact of different background concentrations on the mass transfer coefficient was also investigated. The model also accounts for the impact of a hydrate coating on the drop. The apparent solubilities obtained from our study were found to be higher than literature data. Utilization of our data for modeling may be desired to predict the fate of CO2 released into aqueous environments like the deep ocean, since they were obtained under more realistic conditions. FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS INTRODUCTION Nonatmospheric sequestration of carbon dioxide is the subject of great national and international concern (Carbon Sequestration, 1999). Large potential sinks include geologic formations, soils and vegetation, and the deep ocean. In both geologic and oceanic systems the CO2 is often in contact with water, seawater or brines. Understanding the behavior and fate of CO2 in such aqueous systems is important for developing many of the potential options and for understanding the impacts of seepage or leakage of CO2 into aqueous environments, such as unintentional release of CO2 from a sub-oceanic storage reservoir into the deep ocean. The behavior of CO2 in water and salt water has been addressed in previous work (Aya, et al.1996; Hirai, et al., 1996a, 1996b; Holder et al., 2001; Mori, et al, 1997; Teng, et al., 1996; Radhakrishnan, et al., 2003; Teng, et al., 1998b). An important issue that impacts research in cold aqueous systems under pressure is the possible formation of the ice-like CO2 hydrate. The hydrate may be beneficial in that it could potentially seal any unintentional releases from sub-oceanic storage reservoirs as the CO2 migrates through the cold ocean floor sediments. It could also influence the behavior of any CO2 that enters the ocean environment at depths below about 500 m. For example, if it forms a thin shell on a CO2 drop, it could slow the dissolution of the drop. At depths above about 2700 m, this hydrate-encased drop would rise to shallower depths than a drop without a hydrate shell, thus transporting the CO2 farther up the oceanic water column and likely reducing the time before the CO2 reenters the atmosphere (Warzinski and Holder, 1999). While the research mentioned above has greatly contributed to our understanding of the behavior of CO2 in aqueous systems, there is still some uncertainty with respect to the rates of dissolution and mass transfer associated with a CO2 drop in an under-saturated aqueous system and on the impact of hydrate on these processes. At the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) a unique device is being used to study the behavior of CO2 under simulated free rise or free sinking conditions (Warzinski et al., 2004; Haljasmaa et al., 2005). This device, the High-Pressure Water Tunnel Facility (HWTF), is currently being used to measure the rates of dissolution of CO2 drops and the impact of hydrate at various conditions of temperature, pressure, salinity, and dissolved CO2. In this paper, the dissolution rates for CO2 drops obtained in the HWTF are presented. They are then used to determine mass transfer coefficients for CO2 drop dissolution in seawater both in the absence and presence of hydrate. By varying the background concentrations of dissolved CO2, the solubility (or metastable solubility) of liquid CO2 in seawater has also been determined. This is especially useful when hydrate formation occurs on the surface of a liquid CO2 drop, which can make the measurement of CO2 solubility difficult, since the solid phase can be inadvertently mixed and sampled with the aqueous phase. There are limited data on the solubility of CO2 in seawater (Teng, et al, 1998b; Stewart, et al, 1970) compared to the extensive studies on the solubility of CO2 in water (Chapoy, et al., 2004; Diamond, et al, 2003; Anderson, 2002; Crovetto, 1991). The present study provides this information under conditions that attempt to simulate the natural behavior of CO2 as it enters the deep ocean, either through unintentional releases or through an engineered system. EXPERIMENTAL The basic operation of the HWTF has been previously described (Warzinski, et al., 2004; Haljasmaa et al., 2005). It basically consists of a flow loop that is used to stabilize a rising or sinking object (bubble, drop or solid particle)in a visual observation section using a countercurrent flow of water and internal flow conditioning elements that prevent the drop from contacting the walls in the device (Warzinski et al., 2000). It also incorporates automated systems for controlling the position of the object in viewing FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS windows and for measuring and recording the size, shape and motion of the object. Pressures to 34.5 MPa are possible. The experimental data reported in this paper are for rising CO2 (99.5% purity) drops suspended in a downward flow of 35 salinity artificial seawater that was prepared following the recipe given by Millero (1996). The same CO2 was also dissolved into the artificial seawater to prepare solutions of seawater with various levels of dissolved CO2. RESULTS Dissolution data We have previously presented limited experimental results from the HWTF on the dissolution of CO2 drops in water (Warzinski et al, 2004) and seawater (Zhang et al., 2004). Here we report additional data for CO2 drops at simulated depths from 500 m to 2500 m, temperatures from 2oC to 14oC and at dissolved CO2 concentrations of 0 wt%, 2 wt%, 4 wt% and 4.6 wt%. These data are shown in Figures 1 through 4, respectively. For the data at 0 wt% and 2.0 wt% dissolved CO2, nearly all of the points in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, are the averages of the results for two or more individual drops. At the higher CO2 concentrations fewer replicate experiments were performed. The error bars in these Figures represent the standard deviation of the data and in some cases are smaller than the symbol size. The error bars for temperature represent the deviations between individual experiments. Within any given experiment the variations in temperature and pressure are typically less than "0.1oC and "0.01 MPa ("2-m depth, respectively. The dissolution rates generally decrease with decreasing temperature, increasing depth and increasing amounts of dissolved CO2. No stable hydrate formation was observed except at 2500 m simulated depth and 2.0oC, although hydrate formation is possible at any of these depths at temperatures below 10oC. The dissolution rate data obtained at 0 wt%, 2 wt%, 4 wt% and 4.6 wt% dissolved CO2 were fit to first and second order polynomials of the form: dR/dt = aT2 + bT + c. Table 1 gives the values for a, b and c and the sample coefficients of determination. As evidenced in these data, a linear correlation fits the individual data sets for 0 wt%, 2 wt% and 4 wt% very well with nearly all r2 values greater than 0.98. The data sets at 4.6 wt% were not described as well by a first order polynomial which gave r2 values for the three shallower depths less than 0.50. Inspection of the 4.6 wt% data shows that even though some curvature of the individual data sets is apparent, all of the dissolution rates are close to 1.5 µmol/cm2s indicating that the effects of pressure and temperature are minimal at this higher level of dissolved CO2. Also noteworthy is the fact that the only time a stable hydrate shell formed on a drop was at the highest level of dissolved CO2. The point in Figure 4 represents the average of three separate drops. The shell on these drops became visibly less thick with time, as evidenced by the change from a rough, translucent shell to a nearly transparent shell in a matter of minutes. While the presence of a hydrate shell may not be discernable from the transparency of the shell, our visual observations show that when a drop with a hydrate shell is present in the HWTF the drop surface is more rigid than in the absence of the shell. That is, it is subject to less distortion (wobbling) by the flow in the HWTF. Hydrate shells, not even transitory ones were observed on any of the drops other than that noted.

In this paper we will illustrate this procedure and a modification of it; however, a more complete presentation will be the subject of a forthcoming journal article that is now being drafted. The dissolution behavior of the liquid CO2 droplet is described by Equation (1). d ( ρ co 2V ) = −kA(C s − C ) (1) dt Where, ρ co 2 is the molar density of liquid CO2; V and A are the volume and surface area of a liquid CO2 droplet, respectively. k is the mass transfer coefficient in the boundary layer between the liquid CO2 and seawater, or between the outer hydrate layer and seawater if hydrates form. Cs is the interfacial concentration of the CO2, which is the solubility of CO2 at the system pressure and temperature. When hydrates are not present, Cs is the two-phase solubility where the CO2 phase can be either gas or liquid. When hydrates are present, Cs is the CO2 solubility at three-phase equilibrium (VLH) and will be denoted by Csh. C is the ambient concentration of CO2 in seawater which is sometimes set at non-zero values in the experiments. FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS For the purposes of this paper, the equivalent spherical diameters of the drops are used in all calculations. Although drop non-sphericity can be an important factor in drop dissolution, in most experiments it was rather close to unity (0.7 < E < 1, where E = height/width of the drop). Equation (1) can then be converted into equation (2). dR ρ co 2 = − k (C s − C ) (2) dt Hence, the rate of dissolution of a liquid CO2 droplet can be obtained by measuring its shrinkage rate, dR/dt. Equation (2) applies whether hydrates are present or not. Hydrate formation does induce a significant change in the rate of the interfacial mass transfer, as subsequent calculations will demonstrate. However, the lower rate of mass transfer is due to the lower solubility of CO2, Csh, not to a reduction in the mass transfer coefficient as proposed by Teng, et al., 1998a. At a fixed temperature, the dissolution rate is a function of the ambient CO2 concentration, C, in water, as shown in Equation (2). If we plot the dissolution rate vs. CO2 concentration, C, at a fixed temperature, the absolute value of the slope should be the mass transfer coefficient k in the boundary layer as indicated in Equation (2). The solubility of CO2 in water Cs can be calculated from the intercept, which is - k × Cs. In our previous paper (Zhang, et al., 2004) we described the use of a correlation for mass transfer coefficient given by Cussler, 1997. We have since discovered an error in our earlier work which when corrected resulted in this correlation providing values for k that are five times higher than our experimental values. We have recently examined another similar correlation by Clift et al., 1978: ∆ρ k = 0.45( ) 0.3 g 0.3ν 0.4 d −0.1 ( Sc) −2 / 3 (3) ρ where k is the mass transfer coefficient; g is the acceleration due to gravity; ν is the kinematic viscosity; d is the drop diameter, ∆ρ is the density difference between a CO2 drop and the surrounding fluid; ρ is the ν density of the fluid surrounding the drop, and Sc is the Schmidt number defined as Sc = where DL is DL the diffusion coefficient of CO2 in seawater. We found that due to the different background concentrations in the experiments, the density of seawater was different, and hence, the flow velocity was ∆ρ also different, which had an impact on the mass transfer coefficient, k. This will be reflected in , ρ which is the fractional density difference, and ν , which is the kinematic viscosity of seawater. Note that the correlation for calculating density of CO2 aqueous solutions given by Teng and Yamasaki, 1998, only applies to certain conditions when the mole fraction of CO2, xCO2, is the solubility of CO2 at the given pressure in the seawater. If the seawater is undersaturated as in many of our experiments, the correlation will not provide the correct density. The correlation for calculating the density of seawater with dissolved CO2 given by Giggenbach (Giggenbach, 1990), which was also used by Fer and Haugan (Fer and Haugan, 2003), was used in this paper. The density of seawater without dissolved CO2, which was required in the FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS correlation, was obtained by the UNESCO equation of state (UNESCO, 1981). An online program was used to obtain the value from the UNESCO equation of state (Kelley, 2003). Viscosities of seawater containing various CO2 concentrations were obtained by correcting the viscosities of aqueous solutions (Kumagai and Yokoyam, 1998) to those of seawater solutions. Linear correlations between mole fractions of CO2 in aqueous solutions and viscosity were developed. The viscosity of the aqueous solution when the mole fraction of CO2 in aqueous solution was zero, which was the viscosity of water, was substituted by the viscosity of seawater (Chemical Hazards Response Information System, 1999), assuming that mole fraction of CO2 has the same impact on viscosity of seawater solution as that of water. The temperature dependence of the diffusivity, DL, of CO2 in seawater is based on the assumption that it DL µ varies by ≅ constant, were µ is the absolute viscosity of the seawater, as suggested in Perry's T Chemical Engineers' Handbook (Perry, 1997). DL is 1.9× 10-5 cm/s at 1 bar, 24 °C in seawater (Millero, 1996). k For the condition of our study, density and kinematic viscosity change, but 0.3 ≅ should be ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν − 0.267 ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ constant at a fixed temperature based upon Equation (3). Our original model (Equation 2) was modified as follows to include the effect of density and viscosity change on the mass transfer coefficients. This modified model enables prediction of mass transfer coefficients at different background concentrations of dissolved CO2 at a given temperature and pressure, which can be compared with the values obtained from the correlations. dR k ⎡⎛ ∆ ρ 0 .3 ⎞ ⎤ ρ co 2 =− ⎢⎜⎜ ⎟ ν ⎟ − 0 . 267 ( C s − C ) ⎥ = − K ( C s '− C ' ) (4) dt ⎢⎝ ρ 0 .3 ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎣ ⎠ ⎥ ⎦ ⎜ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν ⎟ − 0 .267 ⎝ ⎠ k where 0 .3 =K (4a) ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎜ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν ⎟ − 0 .267 ⎝ ⎠ 0 .3 ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎜ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν ⎟ − 0 .267 Cs = Cs ' (4b) ⎝ ⎠ 0 .3 ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ and ⎜ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν ⎟ − 0 .267 C = C' (4c) ⎝ ⎠ While k will vary from condition to condition, K should remain essentially constant at a given temperature and pressure. When the dissolution rate is plotted versus C ' , the slope will be K, which is the mass transfer coefficient corrected by the density and viscosity effect. The actual mass transfer FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 0.3 ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν − 0.267 coefficient, k, can be obtained from k = ⎜ ⎟ * K at any condition.

An example, using the experimental data collected at 25 MPa is shown below. In these experiments, a seawater velocity in the range of 6 cm/s to 13 cm/s was required to stabilize the droplets in the viewing section of the HWTF. Figure 5 depicts dissolution rates calculated from the regression equations shown in Table 1 as a function of corrected concentration of CO2, C', for the experimental data at 25 MPa. The dissolution rates were calculated at seven different temperatures (14oC, 12oC, 10oC, 8oC, 6oC, 4oC, 2oC) for the four different levels of dissolved CO2 used (0 wt%, 2 wt%, 4 wt%, 4.6 wt%). A straight line fit of the data is adequate. 4.5 14 C 4 12 C Dissolution Rate *10 , mol/(m s) 10 C 2 3.5 8C 6C 3 4C 2C 2 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 C' Figure 5. Dissolution rate, ρCO2(dR/dt), as a function of corrected CO2 concentration, C', at different temperatures at 25 MPa By using the method described above, the solubilities of CO2 in seawater, Cs, and the mass transfer coefficients, k, were determined as functions of temperature for a simulated depth of 2500 m (25 MPa). The results are shown in Figures 6 and 7, respectively. Also shown are calculated results for the solubility of CO2, Csh, and k when hydrates were present. Note that some of the solubilities are the FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS solubility of CO2 in a metastable state since some temperatures and pressures were at conditions where hydrates can form but did not. As can be seen from the Figure 6, the presence of hydrate decreased the solubility of CO2 in the surrounding seawater dramatically. This is an actual equilibrium solubility. In general, hydrates did not form because the bulk solution was undersaturated with CO2. The only place where the reported solubilities actually exist is at or near the interface. Also note that the mass transfer coefficient when hydrate was present is also shown in Figure 7 by the solid circle. The procedure for obtaining this value is described in the next section. 40 35 Solubility of CO2 in seawater, 2 y = 0.0959x - 2.6208x + 38.874 Cs or Csh, x10-2, mol/m3 30 2 R = 0.9901 25 20 15 with hydrate 10 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Temperature, oC Figure 6. Solubility of CO2, Cs or Csh, in seawater as a function of temperature at 25 MPa from our experiments. The determination of the solubility of CO2 when hydrates were present, as shown in Figure 6, requires further explanation. We assume that the water adjacent to the drop is saturated with carbon dioxide. When the hydrates are absent, this saturation is the (metastable) solubility of liquid CO2 at the system pressure. When the hydrates are present, the solubility is the three-phase (VLH) solubility. If the concentration was any higher, more hydrate would form from the supersaturated water. Thus the driving force is Csh – C when hydrates are present and Cs- C when they are absent. However, the mass transfer is limited by the water phase and the mass transfer coefficient should be the same whether hydrates are present or not. Using the correlation for CO2 solubility, Cs, developed in Figure 6, the dissolution rate at 2oC as a 0.3 ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν − 0.267 function of the corrected driving force when hydrates were absent, ⎜ ⎟ (C s − C ) , at 0 wt%, 2 ⎝ ⎠ wt% and 4 wt% of background concentrations is plotted in Figure 8. A linear correlation is shown.

FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS slope of this correlation is the mass transfer coefficient, K, at this temperature with or without the presence of hydrate shell. The mass transfer coefficient at 4.6 wt%, k, was obtained by multiplying K by 0.3 ⎛ ∆ρ ⎞ ⎜ ρ ⎟ ν − 0.267 ⎜ ⎟ . Using this k and the experimentally measured dissolution rate in the presence of hydrate, ⎝ ⎠ Csh is obtained from the following equation and shown by the solid circle in Figure 6. dR ρ co 2 = −k (C sh − C ) (5) dt To test the validity of using the value of K obtained when hydrates were not present to obtain the k when hydrates were present, we compared our three-phase solubility (1251 moles/m3) to that calculated using the method of Diamond and Akinfiev (2003), which gives a value of 984 moles/m3. The close agreement supports the use of one value of k whether or not hydrates are present. DISCUSSION The mass transfer coefficients obtained from the data obtained in the simulated deep-ocean conditions in the HWTF are two orders of magnitude larger than those obtained in the static system used by Teng, et al., 1998a. It has previously been shown that even a small flow of 0.3 cm/s can cause a factor of 10 increase in the value of k (Radhakrishnan, et al., 2003). Also, in our experiments, a small (typically 0.7 cm diameter or less) CO2 drop was injected into a large volume of circulating seawater (16.4 L). Under these conditions the ambient concentration of CO2 was nearly constant as the drop dissolved. In contrast, the system used by Teng et al., 1998b had a volume of 0.07 L and the concentration of the CO2 in water column changed as the CO2 dissolved. In our previous work in a static 0.04 L cell, the observed dissolution rates were also lower (Warzinski et al., 1997). From a design perspective, the mass transfer coefficients reported here are those expected when CO2 droplets move under their own buoyancy in a large volume of seawater. We have also compared the mass transfer coefficients determined from our experimental data with those obtained from the correlation of Clift et al., 1978 (Equation 3). The results are shown in Figure 9. The agreement is much better than that previously found when using the correlation of Cussler, 1997, as previously mentioned. We are currently working on a modification of the correlation of Clift et al, 1978 that further improves the agreement. Finally, Figure 10 compares our solubility results with the values determined by Teng et al., 1998b. The disagreement is larger than would be expected. Ohmura and Mori (1999) suggest that Teng's solubilities may be low. Our values are also higher than those obtained in fresh water (Diamond, 2003), which we did not show here. We think what we obtained are apparent solubilities, not true solubilities of CO2 in seawater, and the difference reflects the limitation of the models as described below. However, the apparent solubilities we obtained will be more useful for design purposes, because they will yield more accurate estimation of dissolution rates.

Comparison of our results and calculated results on mass transfer coefficient, k, of CO2 in seawater under different background concentrations at 25 MPa. The possible reason for obtaining higher solubility is the following: the mass transfer coefficient changes in a non-linear way as the concentration approaches saturation. Our method, which applies when the dissolution rate is proportional to concentration difference, is approximate in that situation. Diffusion flux is proportional to the chemical potential gradient, D0 c1 ⎡ ⎛ ∂ ln γ 1 ⎞⎤ − j1 = ∇µ1 = ⎢ D0 ⎜1 + ⎜ ⎟⎥∇C1 , ⎟ (6) k BT ⎣ ⎝ ∂ ln x1 ⎠⎦ ∂ ln γ 1 which will lead to D = D0 (1 + ) (Cussler, 1997). Applying the four-suffix Margules equation ∂ ln x1 (Prausnitz, et al, 1997): ln γ 1 = α 2 x 2 + α 3 x 2 + α 4 x 2 2 3 4 (7) to the equation of diffusion coefficient, becomes: D = D0 (1 − (1 − x2 )(2α 2 x2 + 3α 3 x2 + 4α 4 x2 )) , 2 3 (8) FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION DOE/NETL May 2-5, 2005 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 40 Cs, Teng (19980 35 Cs, This work Solubility of CO2 in seawater, Csh, This work 3 30 Cs or Csh, * 10 , mol/m 25 -2 20 15 10 5 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 o Temperature, C Figure 10.

The above derivation shows that the diffusion coefficient, D, is a function of concentration and it changes with concentration in a non-linear way, which indicates that the mass transfer coefficient can also behave in a similar way, especially at higher concentrations. Summary Dissolution rates of CO2 in seawater under simulated deep ocean situation were reported. A model was developed to obtain the mass transfer coefficients and solubilities of CO2 in seawater. The study shows that the model can give fairly good prediction of mass transfer coefficients, however, the apparent solubility obtained is higher than true solubility. For design purposes, the solubilities estimated here are needed for calculation of dissolution rates at design conditions. REFERENCES Anderson, G. K.

I'm not embarrassed to admit my obsession with the ABC Family series Jane By Design, starring Erica Dasher and Andy McDowell. The duo do a great job of convincing us that the fashion world is cut throat and full of drama. As stressful as the series makes the industry seem, they also make it look ultra glamorous with all the clothes, accessories and celebrities that make it on to the show.
One of the main characters, Gray Chandler Murray, played by Andie MacDowell, asserts her power over the entire Donovan Decker fashion house looking polished and proper in designers like Alexander McQueen, Lela Rose, Vera Wang, Valentino and Prada. One thing Gray loves her her Lia Sophia jewelry. She's worn several pieces I own on the show, including the gorgeous Electra necklace from the Zingara Collection.
The Lia Sophia Electra necklace ($450), a stunning 15-inch choker style, is a bold piece with clear cut crystals surrounding tangerine resin goes with almost everything in my closet. It matches my crisp white dresses, my little black dresses and even jeans and a white t-shirt.
Come fall, I'll be pairing it with draped jackets and printed sheath dresses for a touch of glamour. The necklace also makes a wonderful companion to evening gowns for black tie events. The necklace also comes in turquoise, plum and clear in both antique and matte silver finishes if orange isn't your cup of tea.

Today's post is by Joe Russo, IBM Connections designer:
Ok, just to be a pain, I'm starting with civics lesson. In the United States, there is a process by which bills become law. The House of Representatives vote and if the majority agrees, the bill passes to the Senate. They vote and if majority agrees it goes to the President. He can sign the bill, making it a law, or he can veto it, and it goes back to congress for rehashing...or if it's near the end of the term, he can simply pocket veto it. This allows him to safely do nothing with the bill, neither making it a law or vetoing it...congress has to wait until the next session of congress and go through the whole process again.

Nice bike ride with pleasant guy (forgot name). May have been best part of trip. Not too strenuous.
Monkeys were in evidence. IT IS HOT THERE. Excellent food. Very relaxing. Just right for us, maybe not so much for thrill seekers.
