The 2011 Agreement on Cooperation on Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue in the Arctic divides the Arctic region into eight sectors and assigns a sector to each of the "Arctic Eight" nations to undertake primary responsibility over search and rescue operations, as shown in the map below. The Arctic search and rescue agreement, along with the International Maritime Organization's Guidelines for Ships Operating in Arctic Ice-Covered Waters, and other widely accepted treaties such as SOLAS, COLREG, and MARPOL, regulate maritime traffic in the Arctic.

Lets see. A MVP caliber player for a player that had a record setting meaningless game. Let me find some dog crap a 4th round pick then make the deal. Harvin stays put.
Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 11/6/14
MINNEAPOLIS - NOVEMBER 22: Percy Harvin #12 of the Minnesota Vikings smiles from the bench against the Seattle Seahawks at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on November 22, 2009 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)
The Seahawks need a receiver badly, and the Vikings would love to have some insurance in case Christian Ponder craps out. It could be a match made in heaven for both teams. Harvin wants a new contract and is expected to holdout until he gets one, including off-season activities. Matt Flynn became expendable when rookie Russell Wilson burst on the scene and wrestled the starter job away fro Flynn in the preseason. According to Eric Williams of thenewstribune.com, feels it's a win-win situation. Williams writes: 'The 24-year-old Harvin is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He's an explosive playmaker who has a history with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and receiver Sidney Rice from their time in Minnesota. I think Harvin is the type of explosive playmaker Seattle is looking to add offensively, and could be work the risk of giving up a second-round pick. Harvin's injury issues could be lessoned by the fact that he would be more of a complementary player for Seattle, and therefore won't be used as much. And Seattle also has another chip – quarterback Matt Flynn. The Vikings are looking for competition at quarterback, with Joe Webb's struggles in the playoffs against Green Bay exposing the team's lack of depth at that position. Flynn could go to Minnesota and compete with Christian Ponder for the starting job, and provide more depth at that position for the Vikings.' var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

I like a trade with Arizona, Percy Harvin for Minnesota native and former Vikings ball boy, All Pro (WR) Larry Fitzgerald better! Matt Flynn would be a good addition to the Vikings roster also!
Oh..HELL no! Minnesota has NO CLUE how to bargain and trade. We would end up with a mascot from a bar leaque or an 18th round flag football GIRL before MN was done 'trading'. And for another lemon QB?? Keep Harvin in Minnesota!
What?? Matt Flynn, a guy who got beat out by a rookie, and only played well for a game or two when he was in Green Bay? C'mon, quit smoking your crack pipe. Percy is one of the best players in NFL - hands down and if the Vikes can't get equal value through the draft and/or current players then keep him in MN and give him a nook for allthe whining he does.

It's Time For A Bikini Party
June 30th, 2014
There aint no party like a bikini party. Actually, that's a lie. Lingerie parties are fairly similar. This is all guesswork because I've never been invited to either. Shame really because I'd look pretty damn ravishing in a two piece.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Convention Centre to add 340K square feet in $180-M expansion
By the end of the year the city's downtown will begin another significant upgrade with the start of construction on the much-anticipated 340,000-square-foot addition to the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
The $180-million project will be built on the surface parking lot south of the current 492,000-square-foot facility, which will also receive an upgrade to its mechanical systems.
The city and federal and provincial governments are covering up to $148.6 million of the costs, with the remaining funding coming from new incremental property tax revenues from an integrated hotel and commercial development that will be built adjacent to the convention centre.
It is expected that the construction will start before the end of this year, with an anticipated opening before the end of 2015.
The expansion to what was once the largest convention centre in the country will mean a much busier meeting and convention trade in the city.
In the past Winnipeg was unable to even bid on some of the larger conventions because existing facilities were not large enough.
"It's become evident that the growing list of requirements for large conventions and meetings are getting harder to accommodate," said Klaus Lahr, president and CEO of the WCC. "In the end, there was an overwhelming response by everyone to just get shovels in the ground."
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger, said, "This project is fundamental to our ability to showcase our province and city to the world as new attractions near completion and the remarkable transformation of Winnipeg continues."

I know dogs eat poop, but...
My 4 month old dog is doing well with his house training. He's indoor-outdoor and is very good about not pooping on the lawn (we have kids, so this was an important thing to train for us!).
But argh! He finds poop in the bushes (where humans can't find it) and brings it onto the lawn to eat. And he leaves it there. It isn't HIS poop. It's cat (although it doesn't smell like cat poop) or raccoon (although it's on the ground) or I dunno--what does opossum poop look like?
So I accept I can't make him stop eating poop and I can't stop the poop from appearing and I can't really fence off where the poop appears because it's where I really want the DOG to poop and it's a large area. I just don't want poop on my lawn. :)
I know, I'm asking too much. I tried spraying bitter apple stuff on his finds in the hopes he'd decide poopeating wasn't for him. He just finds fresh poop. Should I try treating his found poop treats with something really unpleasant or should I just give up?
Dogs who are deficient in digestive enzymes eat poop to recycle the enzymes that are in the poop. Buy digestive enzyme capsules at a vitamin store or aisle and sprinkle the powder over his food each day. The poop eating should come to a stop after a week or so. Also feeding canned pumpkin is beneficial as this vegetable is rich in enzymes.
I should have added to the message above that puppies in particular often cannot manufacture the enzymes needed to digest their food, so coprophragia is most typically found in puppies. However a dog of any age may be lacking in sufficient enzymes needed to digest their food.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into the pumpkin/enzyme thing.
As far as picking up poop, it's hard to find hidden poop in a heavily planted yard, and cats are somewhat famous for their burying! Or whatever is pooping in the yard--we were unaware of it until the dog came along. And yes we pick up the dog poop, but that isn't what he's eating. He has SOME self respect! :)
Currently MY dog's poop is under control and not being eaten. It's mystery poop. And I wouldn't even mind if he ate ALL of it but he leaves pieces on the lawn.
I miss my kitty! ;P
DS has had that trouble with his dog. It is hard to find all the poop to remove from the yard, especially since cats bury it. Also, we have skunks, raccoons and opossums contributing to the poop, and it would be impossible to survey the whole yard. His dog was diagnosed with giardia from eating poop and was on medication for this for a while. Apparently it does not affect the dog too much but can be transmitted to humans, according to the vet.
Most people give me the reason "Because dogs are gross." Of course they are cat people. :) But I certainly can't argue with them!
Mine seems to have broken his poop searching habit with the cold rains we've had lately, but we'll see if he remembers the joy of poop.
Tucker, my 8 year old Chi/MinPin mix will eat his own poop if I can't get to it fast enough. I bring a sandwich size ziploc bag with me when I take him out to potty. However, if I get distracted for even a moment, he manages to poop and eat it before I can pick it up. Yuck!

Intel Brings QuickAssist Support To Linux: Crypto & Compression
Published on 03 June 2014 04:36 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
Intel has published a new Linux kernel patch-set that adds Quick Assist Technology support to Linux along with a driver to handle their DH895xxC hardware accelerator. This is a new chip for trying to accelerate cryptography and data compression tasks.
Quick Assist Technology is a new Intel technology for better accelerating cryptography and data compression operations. The Linux implementation consists of a kernel driver to connect to the Linux kernel crypto framework and a Linux user-space library with a QuickAssist API for application porting. Intel Linux developers have already patched OpenSSL's libcrypto and Zlib for taking advantage of this Intel technology.
Of course, these patches won't excite everyone in light of recent security concerns and trusting large US corporations with cryptography tasks... Intel's Linux patches are open-source but their acceleration engines require binary-only firmware blobs to function.
Unfortunately I don't have much more information on this Intel DH895xxC chip at this time. Among the algorithms that Intel's "QAT driver" can accelerate are SHA1, AES, and SHA256.
The Intel QAT driver patch-set for the Linux kernel can be found on the
kernel mailing list
while more information on Linux support for QuickAssist can be found at Intel's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Exergy Exergy "Available energy" redirects here. For the meaning of the term in particle collisions, see Available energy (particle collision). In thermodynamics, the exergy of a system is the maximum work possible during a process that brings the system into equilibrium with a heat reservoir.[1] When the surroundings are the reservoir, exergy is the potential of a system to cause a change as it achieves equilibrium with its environment. Exergy is then the energy that is available to be used. After the system and surroundings reach equilibrium, the exergy is zero. Determining exergy was also the first goal of thermodynamics. Energy is never destroyed during a process; it changes from one form to another (see First Law of Thermodynamics). In contrast, exergy accounts for the irreversibility of a process due to increase in entropy (see Second Law of Thermodynamics). Exergy is always destroyed when a process involves a temperature change. This destruction is proportional to the entropy increase of the system together with its surroundings. The destroyed exergy has been called anergy. For an isothermal process, exergy and energy are interchangeable terms, and there is no anergy. Exergy analysis is performed in the field of industrial ecology to use energy more efficiently. The term was coined by Zoran Rant in 1956,[2] but the concept was developed by J. Willard Gibbs in 1873.[3] Ecologists and design engineers often choose a reference state for the reservoir that may be different from the actual surroundings of the system. Exergy is a combination property[1] of a system and its environment because unlike energy it depends on the state of both the system and environment. The exergy of a system in equilibrium with the environment is zero. Exergy is neither a thermodynamic property of matter nor a thermodynamic potential of a system. Exergy and energy both have units of joules. The Internal Energy of a system is always measured from a fixed reference state and is therefore always a state function. Some authors define the exergy of the system to be changed when the environment changes, in which case it is not a state function. Other writers prefer a slightly alternate definition of the available energy or exergy of a system where the environment is firmly defined, as an unchangeable absolute reference state, and in this alternate definition exergy becomes a property of the state of the system alone. The term exergy is also used, by analogy with its physical definition, in information theory related to reversible computing. Exergy is also synonymous with: availability, available energy, exergic energy, essergy (considered archaic), utilizable energy, available useful work, maximum (or minimum) work, maximum (or minimum) work content, reversible work, and ideal work. History Carnot In 1824, Sadi Carnot studied the improvements developed for steam engines by James Watt and others. Carnot utilized a purely theoretical perspective for these engines and developed new ideas. He wrote: "The question has often been raised whether the motive power of heat is unbounded, whether the possible improvements in steam engines have an assignable limit—a limit by which the nature of things will not allow to be passed by any means whatever... In order to consider in the most general way the principle of the production of motion by heat, it must be considered independently of any mechanism or any particular agent. It is necessary to establish principles applicable not only to steam-engines but to all imaginable heat-engines... The production of motion in steam-engines is always accompanied by a circumstance on which we should fix our attention. This circumstance is the re-establishing of equilibrium... Imagine two bodies A and B, kept each at a constant temperature, that of A being higher than that of B. These two bodies, to which we can give or from 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which we can remove the heat without causing their temperatures to vary, exercise the functions of two unlimited reservoirs..."[4] Carnot next described what is now called the Carnot engine, and proved by a thought experiment that any heat engine performing better than this engine would be a perpetual motion machine. Even in the 1820s, there was a long history of science forbidding such devices. According to Carnot, "Such a creation is entirely contrary to ideas now accepted, to the laws of mechanics and of sound physics. It is inadmissible."[4] This description of an upper bound to the work that may be done by an engine was the earliest modern formulation of the second law of thermodynamics. Because it involves no mathematics, it still often serves as the entry point for a modern understanding of both the second law and entropy. Carnot's focus on heat engines, equilibrium, and heat reservoirs is also the best entry point for understanding the closely related concept of exergy. Carnot believed in the incorrect caloric theory of heat that was popular during his time, but his thought experiment nevertheless described a fundamental limit of nature. As kinetic theory replaced caloric theory through the early and mid-1800s (see timeline), several scientists added mathematical precision to the first and second laws of thermodynamics and developed the concept of entropy. Carnot's focus on processes at the human scale (above the thermodynamic limit) led to the most universally applicable concepts in physics. Entropy and the second-law are applied today in fields ranging from quantum mechanics to physical cosmology. Exergy In 1873, Gibbs derived the mathematics of "available energy of the body and medium" into the form it has today.[3] (See the equations below). The physics describing exergy has changed little since that time. The term exergy was suggested in 1956 by Zoran Rant (1904–1972) by using the Greek ex and ergon meaning "from work."[2] Mathematical description An application of the second law of thermodynamics Exergy uses system boundaries in a way that is unfamiliar to many. We imagine the presence of a Carnot engine between the system and its reference environment even though this engine does not exist in the real world. Its only purpose is to measure the results of a "what-if" scenario to represent the most efficient work interaction possible between the system and its surroundings. If a real-world reference environment is chosen that behaves like an unlimited reservoir that remains unaltered by the system, then Carnot's speculation about the consequences of a system heading towards equilibrium with time is addressed by two equivalent mathematical statements. B, the exergy or available work, will decrease with time, and Stotal, the entropy of the system and its reference environment enclosed together in a larger isolated system, will increase with time: Gibbs In the 1870s, Josiah Willard Gibbs unified a large quantity of 19th century thermochemistry into one compact theory. Gibbs's theory incorporated the new concept of a chemical potential to cause change when distant from a chemical equilibrium into the older work begun by Carnot in describing thermal and mechanical equilibrium and their potentials for change. Gibbs's unifying theory resulted in the thermodynamic potential state functions describing differences from thermodynamic equilibrium. For macroscopic systems (above the thermodynamic limit), these statements are both expressions of the second law of thermodynamics if the following expression is used for exergy: where the extensive quantities for the system are U = Internal energy, V = Volume, and Ni = Moles of component i. The intensive quantities for the surroundings are PR = Pressure and μi,R = Chemical potential of component i. Individual terms also often have names attached to them: PRV is called "available PV work", TRS is called "entropic loss" or "heat 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia loss" and the final term is called "available chemical energy." Other thermodynamic potentials may be used to replace internal energy so long as proper care is taken in recognizing which natural variables correspond to which potential. For the recommended nomenclature of these potentials, see (Alberty, 2001)[5]. Equation (2) is useful for processes where system volume, entropy, and number of moles of various components change because internal energy is also a function of these variables and no others. An alternative definition of internal energy does not separate available chemical potential from U. This expression is useful (when substituted into equation (1)) for processes where system volume and entropy change, but no chemical reaction occurs: In this case a given set of chemicals at a given entropy and volume will have a single numerical value for this thermodynamic potential. A multi-state system may complicate or simplify the problem because the Gibbs phase rule predicts that intensive quantities will no longer be completely independent from each other. Exergy the Greek for "transformation" because it describes the available energy lost during transformation from heat to work. The available work from a Carnot engine is at its maximum when the surroundings are at a temperature of absolute zero. Physicists then, as now, often look at a property with the word "available" or "utilizable" in its name with a certain unease. The idea of what is available raises the question of "available to what?" and raises a concern about whether such a property is anthropocentric. Laws derived using such a property may not describe the universe but instead describe what people wish to see. The field of statistical mechanics (beginning with the work of Ludwig Boltzmann in developing the Boltzmann equation) relieved many physicists of this concern. From this discipline, we now know that macroscopic properties may all be determined from properties on a microscopic scale where entropy is more "real" than temperature itself (see thermodynamic temperature). Microscopic kinetic fluctuations among particles cause entropic loss, and this energy is unavailable for work because these fluctuations occur randomly in all directions. The anthropocentric act is taken, in the eyes of some physicists and engineers today, when one draws a hypothetical boundary and in effect says, "This is my system. What occurs beyond it is surroundings." In this context, exergy is sometimes described as an anthropocentric property, both by those who use it and those who don't. Entropy is viewed as a more fundamental property of matter. In the field of ecology, the interactions among systems (mostly ecosystems) and their manipulation of exergy resources is of primary concern. With this perspective, the answer to, "available to what?" is simply, "available to the system" because ecosystems appear to exist in the real world. With the viewpoint of systems ecology, a property of matter like absolute entropy is seen as anthropocentric because it is defined relative to an unobtainable hypothetical reference system in isolation at absolute zero temperature. With this emphasis on systems rather than matter, exergy is viewed as a more fundamental property of a system, and it is entropy that may be viewed as a co-property of a system with an idealized reference system. A historical and cultural tangent In 1848, William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin asked (and immediately answered) the question: Is there any principle on which an absolute thermometric scale can be founded? It appears to me that Carnot's theory of the motive power of heat enables us to give an affirmative answer.[6] With the benefit of the hindsight contained in equation (3), we are able to understand the historical impact of Kelvin's idea on physics. Kelvin suggested that the best temperature scale would describe a constant ability for a unit of temperature in the surroundings to alter the available work from Carnot's engine. From equation (3): Rudolf Clausius recognized the presence of a proportionality constant in Kelvin's analysis and gave it the name entropy in 1865 from 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Exergy real world. A system may be maintained at a constant temperature to simulate an unlimited reservoir in the lab or in a factory, but those systems cannot then be isolated from a larger surrounding environment. However, with a proper choice of system boundaries, a reasonable constant reservoir can be imagined. A process sometimes must be compared to "the most realistic impossibility," and this invariably involves a certain amount of guesswork. A potential for every thermodynamic situation In addition to and , the other thermodynamic potentials are frequently used to determine exergy. For a given set of chemicals at a given entropy and pressure, enthalpy H is used in the expression: For a given set of chemicals at a given temperature and volume, Helmholtz free energy A is used in the expression: Engineering applications Application of exergy to unit operations in chemical plants was partially responsible for the huge growth of the chemical industry during the 1900s. During this time it was usually called availability or available work. As a simple example of exergy, air at atmospheric conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition contains energy but no exergy when it is chosen as the thermodynamic reference state known as ambient. Individual processes on Earth like combustion in a power plant often eventually result in products that are incorporated into a large atmosphere, so defining this reference state for exergy is useful even though the atmosphere itself is not at equilibrium and is full of long and short term variations. If standard ambient conditions are used for calculations during plant operation when the actual weather is very cold or hot, then certain parts of a chemical plant might seem to have an exergy efficiency of greater than 100% and appear on paper to be a perpetual motion machine! Using actual conditions will give actual values, but standard ambient conditions are useful for initial design calculations. One goal of energy and exergy methods in engineering is to compute what comes into and out of several possible designs before a factory is built. Energy input and output will always balance according to the First Law of Thermodynamics or the energy conservation principle. Exergy output will not balance the exergy input for real processes since a part of the exergy input is always destroyed according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics for real processes. After the input and output are completed, the engineer will often want to select the most efficient process. An energy efficiency or first law efficiency will determine the most efficient process based For a given set of chemicals at a given temperature and pressure, Gibbs free energy G is used in the expression: The potentials A and G are utilized for a constant temperature process. In these cases, all energy is free to perform useful work because there is no entropic loss. A chemical reaction that generates electricity with no associated change in temperature will also experience no entropic loss. (See fuel cell.) This is true of every isothermal process. Examples are gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy (on a macroscopic scale), solar energy, electrical energy, and many others. If friction, absorption, electrical resistance or a similar energy conversion takes place that releases heat, the impact of that heat on thermodynamic potentials must be considered, and it is this impact that decreases the available energy. Applications Applying equation (1) to a subsystem yields: This expression applies equally well for theoretical ideals in a wide variety of applications: electrolysis (decrease in G), galvanic cells and fuel cells (increase in G), explosives (increase in A), heating and refrigeration (exchange of H), motors (decrease in U) and generators (increase in U). Utilization of the exergy concept often requires careful consideration of the choice of reference environment because, as Carnot knew, unlimited reservoirs do not exist in the 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on wasting as little energy as possible relative to energy inputs. An exergy efficiency or second-law efficiency will determine the most efficient process based on wasting and destroying as little available work as possible from a given input of available work. Design engineers have recognized that a higher exergy efficiency involves building a more expensive plant, and a balance between capital investment and operating efficiency must be determined in the context of economic competition. Exergy Measuring exergy requires the evaluation of a system's reference state environment[2]. With respect to the applications of exergy on natural resource utilization, the process of quantifying a system requires the assignment of value (both utilized and potential) to resources that are not always easily dissected into typical cost-benefit terms. However, to fully realize the potential of a system to do work, it is becoming increasingly imperative to understand exergenic potential of natural resources[3], and how human interference alters this potential. Referencing the inherent qualities of a system in place of a reference state environment[4] is the most direct way that ecologists determine the exergy of a natural resource. Specifically, it is easiest to examine the thermodynamic properties of a system, and the reference substances[5] that are acceptable within the reference environment[6]. This determination allows for the assumption of qualities in a natural state: deviation from these levels may indicate a change in the environment caused by outside sources. There are three kinds of reference substances that are acceptable, due to their proliferation on the planet: gases within the atmosphere, solids within the Earth's crust, and molecules or ions in seawater[7]. By understanding these basic models, it's possible to determine the exergy of multiple earth systems interacting, like the effects of solar radiation on plant life[8]. These basic categories are utilized as the main components of a reference environment when examining how exergy can be defined through natural resources. Other qualities within a reference state environment include temperature, pressure, and any number of combinations of substances within a defined area[9]. Again, the exergy of a system is determined by the potential of that system to do work, so it is necessary to determine the baseline qualities of a system before it is possible to understand the potential of that system. The thermodynamic value of a resource can be found by multiplying the exergy of the resource by the cost of obtaining the resource and processing it [10]. Today, it is becoming increasingly popular to analyze the environmental impacts of natural resource utilization, especially for energy usage[11]. To understand the ramifications of these practices, exergy is utilized as a tool for determining the impact potential of Applications in natural resource utilization In recent decades, utilization of exergy has spread outside of physics and engineering to the fields of industrial ecology, ecological economics, systems ecology, and energetics. Defining where one field ends and the next begins is a matter of semantics, but applications of exergy can be placed into rigid categories. Researchers in ecological economics and environmental accounting perform exergycost analyses in order to evaluate the impact of human activity on the current natural environment. As with ambient air, this often requires the unrealistic substitution of properties from a natural environment in place of the reference state environment of Carnot. For example, ecologists and others have developed reference conditions for the ocean and for the Earth's crust. Exergy values for human activity using this information can be useful for comparing policy alternatives based on the efficiency of utilizing natural resources to perform work. Typical questions that may be answered are: Does the human production of one unit of an economic good by method A utilize more of a resource's exergy than by method B? Does the human production of economic good A utilize more of a resource's exergy than the producution of good B? Does the human production of economic good A utilize a resource's exergy more efficiently than the production of good B? There has been some progress in standardizing and applying these methods. 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia emissions, fuels, and other sources of energy[12]. Combustion of fossil fuels, for example, is examined with respect to assessing the environmental impacts of burning coal, oil, and natural gas. The current methods for analyzing the emissions from these three products can be compared to the process of determining the exergy of the systems affected; specifically, it is useful to examine these with regard to the reference state environment of gases within the atmosphere[13]. In this way, it is easier to determine how human action is affecting the natural environment. Exergy quantitative fashion through a sustainability metric: Does the human production of an economic good deplete the exergy of Earth's natural resources more quickly than those resources are able to receive exergy? If so, how does this compare to the depletion caused by producing the same good (or a different one) using a different set of natural resources? Applications in sustainability In systems ecology, researchers sometimes consider the exergy of the current formation of natural resources from a small number of exergy inputs (usually solar radiation, tidal forces, and geothermal heat). This application not only requires assumptions about reference states, but it also requires assumptions about the real environments of the past that might have been close to those reference states. Can we decide which is the most "realistic impossibility" over such a long period of time when we are only speculating about the reality? For instance, comparing oil exergy to coal exergy using a common reference state would require geothermal exergy inputs to describe the transition from biological material to fossil fuels during millions of years in the Earth's crust, and solar radiation exergy inputs to describe the material's history before then when it was part of the biosphere. This would need to be carried out mathematically backwards through time, to a presumed era when the oil and coal could be assumed to be receiving the same exergy inputs from these sources. A speculation about a past environment is different from assigning a reference state with respect to known environments today. Reasonable guesses about real ancient environments may be made, but they are untestable guesses, and so some regard this application as pseudoscience or pseudo-engineering. The field describes this accumulated exergy in a natural resource over time as embodied energy with units of the "embodied joule" or "emjoule". The important application of this research is to address sustainability issues in a Assigning one thermodynamically obtained value to an economic good A technique proposed by systems ecologists is to consolidate the three exergy inputs described in the last section into the single exergy input of solar radiation, and to express the total input of exergy into an economic good as a solar embodied joule or sej. (See emergy) Exergy inputs from solar ^ , tidal, and geothermal forces all at one time had their origins at the beginning of the solar system under conditions which could be chosen as an initial reference state, and other speculative reference states could in theory be traced back to that time. With this tool we would be able to answer: What fraction of the total human depletion of the Earth's exergy is caused by the production of a particular economic good? What fraction of the total human and non-human depletion of the Earth's exergy is caused by the production of a particular economic good? No additional thermodynamic laws are required for this idea, and the principles of energetics may confuse many issues for those outside the field. The combination of untestable hypotheses, unfamiliar jargon that contradicts accepted jargon, intense advocacy among its supporters, and some degree of isolation from other disciplines have contributed to this protoscience being regarded by many as a pseudoscience. However, its basic tenets are only a further utilization of the exergy concept. 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Energy of a system is... its ability to produce motion conserved by the first law of thermodynamics different from zero (E=mc²) Exergy of a system is... its ability to produce work Exergy only conserved for reversible processes and destroyed by irreversible processes equal to zero when at equilibrium with the environment unlimited for reversible processes due to the second law a measure of quantity and efficiency of utilization efficiency by utilizing laws of thermodynamics developed in the 19th century. independent of environment parameters dependent on environment parameters limited by the second law of thermodynamics for all processes a measure of quantity only Implications in the development of complex physical systems A common hypothesis in systems ecology is that the design engineer's observation that a greater capital investment is needed to create a process with increased exergy efficiency is actually the economic result of a fundamental law of nature. By this view, exergy is the analogue of economic currency in the natural world. The analogy to capital investment is the accumulation of exergy into a system over long periods of time resulting in embodied energy. The analogy of capital investment resulting in a factory with high exergy efficiency is an increase in natural organizational structures with high exergy efficiency. (See maximum power). Researchers in these fields describe biological evolution in terms of increases in organism complexity due to the requirement for increased exergy efficiency because of competition for limited sources of exergy. Some biologists have a similar hypothesis. A biological system (or a chemical plant) with a number of intermediate compartments and intermediate reactions is more efficient because the process is divided up into many small substeps, and this is closer to the reversible ideal of an infinite number of infinitesimal substeps. Of course, an excessively large number of intermediate compartments comes at a capital cost that may be too high. Testing this idea in living organisms or ecosystems is impossible for all practical purposes because of the large time scales and small exergy inputs involved for changes to take place. However, if this idea is correct, it would not be a new fundamental law of nature. It would simply be living systems and ecosystems maximizing their exergy Philosophical and cosmological implications Some proponents of utilizing exergy concepts describe them as a biocentric or ecocentric alternative for terms like quality and value. The "deep ecology" movement views economic usage of these terms as an anthropocentric philosophy which should be discarded. A possible universal thermodynamic concept of value or utility appeals to those with an interest in monism. For some, the end result of this line of thinking about tracking exergy into the deep past is a restatement of the cosmological argument that the universe was once at equilibrium and an input of exergy from some First Cause created a universe full of available work. Current science is unable to describe the first 10–43 seconds of the universe (See Timeline of the Big Bang). An external reference state is not able to be defined for such an event, and (regardless of its merits), such an arguments may be better expressed in terms of entropy. Comparison of energy and exergy Based on [7]. Exergy is a measurable value that is decreased during the conversion of useful energy to useless energy. Therefore, exergy measures the actual potential of a system to do work. The exergy consumed to create something, a product or service, is more than the work done to create it. Exergy is the work that can no longer be done elsewhere 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia because the economic good was made. Exergy has been described as a measure of energy quality because of these traits. Exergy period of time with a good software package to determine exergy flows in the plant. Choice 3 would require all of choice 2 and converting multiple items usually thought of as economic overhead into terms of exergy. This could be a challenging task requiring considerable thought, but with several assumptions here and there (and more software to keep track of the accounting), it could be done. Choice 4 would require a repetition of choice 3 for multiple industries, governmental agencies, and all other human activity to convert raw materials to the product. It seems unlikely that many producers would take the time to determine the complete exergy history of their product, but if we ever live in a world where producers were required to perform choice 3, we might be able to get a reasonable estimate of choice 4. Choice 5 in combination with choice 4 is the only option that is relevant to environmental sustainability. Choice 5 requires exergy information from the field of systems ecology and many additional assumptions. However, with this information, we may address the questions: Does the human production of this item deplete the Earth's natural resources more quickly than those resources are able to regenerate themselves? If so, how does this numerically compare to the depletion caused by producing an entirely different item using an entirely different set of natural resources? Choice 6 represents all exergy changes on Earth in terms of one "currency" that may be used to estimate the relative value of different natural resources, but this value appraisal would not be on a time scale relevant to human activity. Choice 6 is useful for systems ecologists to consider exergy concepts as a driving force for the emergence structures in nature using a concept like emergy. Choice 7 is the consequence of this line of thinking carried out to its fullest extent. It is a thought experiment to restate the cosmological argument. Exergy is highly multidisciplinary (This section will probably be shortened and added to the "Utilization" section as a table if possible) The cumulative exergy consumption of a good is a sum of the exergy decreases that occurred in order to create it. An initial state for an analysis might consist of exergy contributions from: 1) the material entering individual reactors or other unit 2) the material delivered to the industry and used for all the units in the industrial process. 3) the material purchased from other industries and all the associated indirect exergy decreases involved in transport and administration to get the material and process it. 4) all the initial natural resources used directly or indirectly to make the good. 5) all the initial ecological inputs (such as solar radiation, tidal forces, and geothermal heat) that created the natural resources. 6) These multiple inputs related to a single reference input (such as solar radiation). 7) This reference input is related to a single input of exergy to the universe from some external source at a time in the past when the entire universe was at equilibrium. Choice 1 (if there are few components) is a tricky undergraduate homework problem in chemical engineering if a chemical reaction occurs in an open system. The worked example above utilizes choice 1 for a closed system with no reaction. Choice 2 would require an in-house exergy accounting analogous to a process mass balance or energy balance. If there are a reasonable number of unit operations, a professional chemical engineer could do this in a short Quality of energy types (exergy-to-energy ratio will be in this article. exergy-to-exergy will be moved to Exergy efficiency. Some will be removed.) 8 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The ratio of exergy to energy in a substance can be considered a measure of energy quality. Forms of energy such as macroscopic kinetic energy, electrical energy, and chemical Gibbs free energy are 100% recoverable as work, and therefore have an exergy equal to their energy. However, forms of energy such as radiation and thermal energy can not be converted completely to work, and have exergy content less than their energy content. The exact proportion of exergy in a substance depends on the amount of entropy relative to the surrounding environment as determined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Exergy is useful when measuring the efficiency of an energy conversion process. The exergetic, or 2nd Law efficiency, is a ratio of the exergy output divided by the exergy input. This formulation takes into account the quality of the energy, often offering a more accurate and useful analysis than efficiency estimates only using the First Law of Thermodynamics. Work can be extracted also from bodies colder than the surroundings. When the flow of energy is coming into the body, work is performed by this energy obtained from the large reservoir, the surrounding. A quantitative treatment of the notion of energy quality rests on the definition of energy. According to the standard definition, Energy is a measure of the ability to do work. Work can involve the movement of a mass by a force that results from a transformation of energy. If there is an energy transformation, the second principle of energy flow transformations says that this process must involve the dissipation of some energy as heat. Measuring the amount of heat released is one way of quantifying the energy, or ability to do work and apply a force over a distance. However, it appears that the ability to do work is relative to the energy transforming mechanism that applies a force. This is to say that some forms of energy perform no work with respects to some mechanisms, but perform work with respects to others. For example, water does not have a propensity to combust in an internal combustion engine, whereas gasoline does. Relative to the internal combustion engine, water has little ability to do work that provides a motive force. If "energy" is defined as the ability to do work then a consequence of this simple example is that water has no energy — according to this Exergy definition. Nevertheless, water, raised to a height, does have the ability to do work like driving a turbine, and so does have energy. This example means to demonstrate that the ability to do work can be considered relative to the mechanism that transforms energy, and through such a conversion applies a force. From this observation we might wish to use the word "quality", and the term "energy quality" to characterise the energetic differences between substances and their propensities to perform work given a specific mechanism. That is the abilities of different energy forms to flow and be transformed in certain mechanisms. With this lexicon, we can say that energy quality is mechanism-relative, and the energy efficiency of a mechanism is energy quality-relative – an internal combustion engine running on water has nearly 0% efficiency since it has the propensity to transform little or no water-energy into thermal-energy. In order to clarify things here we might think of this as the "water-efficiency". The mechanism of interest is also our system of reference, such that the choice of energy quality specifies a certain system of reference. Thus with respects to the internal combustion system of reference, it has a low "water-efficiency". Exergy of heat available at a temperature Maximal possible conversion of heat to work, or exergy content of heat, depends on the temperature at which heat is available and the temperature level at which the reject heat can be disposed, that is the temperature of the surrounding. The upper limit for conversion is known as Carnot efficiency and was discovered by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot in 1824. See also Carnot heat engine. Carnot efficiency is where TH is the higher temperature and TC is the lower temperature, both as absolute temperature. From Equation 1 it is clear that in order to maximize efficiency one should maximize TH and minimize TC. For calculation of exergy of heat available at a temperature there are two cases: the body releasing heat is higher than the 9 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia surrounding, or, the temperature of the body is lower than the surrounding. Exergy exchanged is then: Exergy where Tsource is the temperature of the heat source, and To is the temperature of the surrounding.

IAB Innovation Days - "Content Matters" - New York, May 17, 2012
Speakers: Jon Steinberg, President, BuzzFeeed Andy Wiedlin, Chief Revenue Officer, BuzzFeed 10:00 am - 10:30 am Skylight Soho 275 Hudson Street New York, NY 10013
Content Matters
No Place for Ads?
Social Advertising and Branded Content
On the social web there is no place for ads—only content and sharing. Increasingly users are accustomed to consuming and sharing a blend of the personal, funny, and serious, all in an intermingled feed. Brands can succeed on the social web by developing "content gifts" for audiences and measuring the social lift that comes from harnessing the network effects of SuperSharers on major social platforms. Through a mix of data, case studies, and anecdotes, Jon Steinberg, President, and Andy Wieldin, Chief Revenue Office, both of BuzzFeed, discuss the origins and future of social advertising.

So I've been getting a lot of blog requests to do a "daily routine" post so I thought today I would share what a typical day consists of! :)
6am: Liam wakes up to eat... sometimes he's up, and other times he'll nurse and drift back off to dreamland! If I'm lucky I can usually get another 45 mins or so of sleep!
7am-9am: Liam and I start our morning play time! He usually hangs out in his mamaroo while I make my coffee and get Justin's clothes & lunch ready! We also like to look at books, sing songs and he loves playing on his play mat!
9am-12pm: He eats again around 9 and typically goes down for his morning nap! Here lately he's been really clingy and only goes down if I rock him! So once he's asleep I try to get a few things done around the house {and watch my morning shows!} By noon, Justin typically comes home on his lunch break and we eat lunch together!
12pm-3pm: He's usually hungry again around 12:30ish! He eats and then we spend some more time playing, or running errands! If we're out he almost always falls asleep in the car! I try to do some tummy time in the afternoons too even though my child HATES laying on his belly and almost always rolls over to his back!
3pm-6pm: After he wakes up from his last nap around 5:15-5:30 we try our best to try to keep him up until bedtime! I usually turn on music and figure out something for dinner and put Liam in his little bouncy seat in the kitchen! If we go out to dinner he usually sleeps until we're done! Here lately the weather has been nicer so we also go on family walks!!
6pm-9pm: If it's bath night, {I usually give him one every other or every two days} we give him a bath, I'll give him a little massage, play for about a half hour, read books, sing songs and say our prayers! At 8pm it's lights out! I rock Liam to sleep in his nursery and then put him down in his rock and play! He still sleeps in our room through the night but we're in the process of trying to transition him to his room! We leave him in his room until Justin and I are ready for bed! It's nice because it allows Justin and I to spend some time together! Around 11/midnight Justin will carry his bed + him into our room! Sometimes if he starts to wake up I will nurse him but most nights he sleeps right through everything!
9pm-6am: HE SLEEPS!! :)
I think it is KEY to have your baby on a good routine! It works great for us and I would be lost without it!!

McDonald's Considers Putting Items That Cost More Than $1 on Its Dollar Menu – What?
What's in a name? McDonald's is considering changes to its Dollar Menu, and may soon include items that cost more than a buck.
What's in a name? McDonald's is considering changes to its Dollar Menu, and may soon include items that cost more than a buck.
Some of these combos make things like liver actually sound good.
ConAgra Foods Inc. is recalling some Kroger's Break 'N Bake chocolate chip cookie dough packages, because they contain peanuts.
The stuffing is my favorite part of Oreo cookies. I was very upset to find that I may not be getting double the stuffing in Double Stuf Oreos.
It looks like the Cilantro was sold at most of the Meijer stores here in the Flint area.
Nearly 30 different types of cat and dog food are being recalled by the Procter & Gamble Company because they could possibly be contaminated with Salmonella. That came from the FDA.
McDonald's hopes some classical music won't stop people from coming Bach.
Finger lickin'... freaky?!?
Cantaloupes distributed to grocery stores throughout Michigan in July could be tainted with the Listeria bacteria.
McDonald's is changing the beef it uses for its hamburgers.
This could be very dangerous. A company has issued a voluntary recall of a salsa product.
I have often enjoyed a great meal at Ruggero's. The move is going to make the experience even better.

Karl Rove: Can We Believe the Presidential Polls?
Karl Rove served as Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush from 2000–2007 and Deputy Chief of Staff from 2004–2007.
I've seen a movie like this one before. I was in my 20s and director of the Texas Victory Committee for Reagan-Bush. Our headquarters was in an old mortuary in Austin. That seemed an appropriate venue when, on Oct. 8, 1980, the New York Times released its poll on the presidential race in Texas, one of 10 battlegrounds. (Yes, the Lone Star State was then a battleground.)
According to the Times, the contest was "a virtual dead heat," with President Jimmy Carter ahead despite earlier surveys showing Ronald Reagan winning. A large Hispanic turnout for Mr. Carter—and the fact that Texas was "far more Democratic than the nation" (only 16% of Texans identified themselves as Republicans then)—meant that Mr. Reagan "must do better among independents" to carry the state. Our hurriedly called strategy session at the mortuary had more than the normal complement of hand-wringers.
Then came more hard punches. On Oct. 13, Gallup put the race nationally at Carter 44%, Reagan 40%. The bottom appeared to fall out two weeks later when a new national Gallup poll had Carter 47%, Reagan 39%.
That produced more than a few empty chairs in phone banks across Texas. But most volunteers, grim and stoic, hung on, determined to stay until the bitter end. Only Election Day was not so bitter. Reagan carried all 10 of the Times' battleground states and defeated Mr. Carter by nearly 10 points.
Every election is different and this year won't replicate 1980. But context might be helpful to edgy supporters of Mitt Romney...
