U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has designated a new marine highway in Chambers County, Texas.
The "M-146 Marine Highway Connector," which is sponsored by the Chambers County Texas Improvement District No. 1 and the Chambers Liberty Counties Navigation District, spans the 25-mile waterway between the Cedar Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel, connecting to the Port of Houston on the M-10 Marine Highway Corridor.
A container-on-barge service currently operating on the M-146 has already reduced regional roadway traffic by approximately 2,000 containers per month. A marine highway is a designated route for transporting cargo on water, reducing pollution and congestion on roads.
Since 2009, the Department of Transportation has designated 19 Marine Highway Routes, and invested $130 million in projects supporting Marine Highway services. In addition to highlighting the role waterways play in moving freight throughout the region, designated Marine Highways receive preferential treatment for any future federal assistance from the Department or MARAD.

Berkin Elvan's death hits public rage high in Turkey
12 March 2014 [12:37] -
Protesters clashed with police in cities across Turkey on Tuesday after the death of a 15-year-old boy who was hit in the head by a tear-gas canister during anti-government demonstrations last summer, Reuters reported.
Police unleashed water cannon and tear gas on thousands of demonstrators, another pre-election headache for Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan as he battles a corruption scandal that has become one of the biggest challenges of his decade in power.
Istanbul and Ankara have both seen protests in recent weeks against what demonstrators regard as Erdogan's authoritarian reaction to the graft affair, which has included new laws tightening Internet controls and handing government greater influence over the appointment of judges and prosecutors.
Berkin Elvan, then 14, got caught up in street battles in Istanbul between police and protesters on June 16 while going to buy bread for his family. He slipped into a coma and became a rallying point for government opponents, who held regular vigils at the hospital where he lay in intensive care.
On Tuesday evening, police fired water cannon and tear gas in Ankara's central Kizilay square to scatter several thousand protesters who chanted: "Government of Erdogan, government of corruption, resign resign". The police pursued the protesters into sidestreets where small clashes continued.
There was similar police intervention against thousands of protesters on both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, among dozens of places across Turkey where posts on social media had called for protests on Tuesday evening.
In the Mediterranean city of Mersin, two women were injured when struck by a water cannon vehicle, one of them suffering a head wound, the Dogan news agency said. Four police were also reported injured in the clashes there.
Police detained 20 people as they skirmished with protesters trying to march to the offices of Erdogan's AK Party in the Black Sea city of Samsun, Dogan reported.
In the southern city of Adana, protesters threw stones aimed fireworks at police lines as water cannon vehicles advanced against them, spraying water. Large numbers also protested in the western cities of Izmir and Eskisehir in the most extensive protests since last summer's unrest.
Residents in some Istanbul districts banged pots and pans with spoons from the windows of their apartment blocks, reviving a form of protest popular during the summer.
Crowds chanted "murderer Erdogan" and "the murderer state will be brought to account" as mourners carried Elvan's coffin, wrapped in red cloth and strewn with red carnations, to a "cemevi", an Alevi place of worship, in central Istanbul.
Alevis are a religious minority in mainly Sunni Muslim Turkey who espouse a liberal version of Islam and have often been at odds with Erdogan's Islamist-rooted government.
Among the throng of up to 1,000 people, some waved plain red flags, while shopkeepers in the Okmeydani district pulled down their shutters as a mark of respect. Elvan's mother, flanked by a group of women, stood crying at an open window.
"We have come here because of the murderer police. They will be held to account. Berkin Elvan's blood will not be left on the ground," said Ahmet Ekinci, one of those in the crowd.
Elvan was the sixth person to die in violence during nationwide protests in late May and June over Erdogan's plans to bulldoze an Istanbul park. The protests turned into one of the biggest shows of public defiance of Erdogan's 11-year rule.
President Abdullah Gul, the first senior figure to publicly comment on Elvan's death, sent his condolences to the family.
In the Aegean city of Izmir, school children and university students staged sit-ins. The Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions (DISK) said it would join Elvan's funeral in Istanbul on Wednesday.
"Their children steal billions, our children are killed going to get bread," DISK said in a statement, referring to the corruption scandal which erupted on December 17 with the arrest of the sons of three cabinet ministers.
Erdogan has cast the corruption investigation as a plot to unseat him by U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former ally whose followers say they number in the millions and who wields covert influence in the police and judiciary.
Gulen said in a message of condolence to Elvan's family, published in the Zaman newspaper that is close to him, that Turkey was experiencing difficult days and that the "mind of the state has become overwhelmed by anger and hatred".
"This atmosphere of hatred is undermining society's need for love and peace and efforts to understand one another," he said. "Little 15-year old Berkin Elvan is the latest victim of this atmosphere."
Leaked voice recordings, many of them purportedly of Erdogan, have appeared on YouTube over the past two weeks, part of what the prime minister sees as a campaign to sully his center-right AK Party ahead of the local elections on March 30 and a presidential race five months later.
Erdogan has condemned the illegal tapping by Gulen's followers of what should have been encrypted telephone conversations and has described some of the leaked recordings as "fabricated montage". On Tuesday, he rounded on the cleric again and suggested there could be more leaks to come.
"I ask you, for God's sake, you listen to people's private phone calls, you use them for slander and blackmail, indeed you go further and spy on and record people in their bedrooms," he told an election rally in the southeastern city of Bitlis.
Gulen has repeatedly denied unleashing the corruption investigation.

Jaipur: Beleaguered Rajasthan Royals on Monday terminated the contract of the three players -- including India pacer S Sreesanth -- arrested on charges of spot-fixing in the ongoing IPL besides filing an FIR against the tainted trio.
"Based on the information provided by the authorities, the contracts of all three players have been suspended pending enquiry," Rajasthan Royals chairman Ranjit Barthakur said in a statement.
"We have already filed a complaint with the Delhi Police against all three players earlier today," he added.
The IPL last week found itself engulfed in a sensational spot-fixing scandal after Sreesanth and two of his Rajasthan Royals teammates were arrested by the police which claimed that they received upto Rs 60 lakh from bookies for bowling one manipulated over.
The IPL today stepped up security for the four remaining teams in the cash-rich T20 league by providing them an officer each from the Anti Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).
"The security deployment for the team has been expanded, again in close consultation with the BCCI. The franchise is in daily contact with the police authorities in Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai for providing any cooperation/information that they might require," Barthakur added.
A special cell of the Delhi police arrested Sreesanth and his teammates -- Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan -- in Mumbai last Thursday for indulging in spot-fixing in at least three IPL matches as per arrangements with bookies, who have underworld connections abroad.
Rajasthan said the franchise has "initiated" additional internal measures.
"We have initiated additional internal measures, all developed with the full support of the players at their weekend regroup in Jaipur."
Barthakur further added: "The franchise has been hit very hard across the board, and we have executed the strongest possible course of action in keeping with our zero-tolerance approach to these terrible actions.
"As stated earlier, we will protect the good, as well as seek punishment for the bad."

Technological leaps in mining techniques will make this metal IRRELEVANT.
demand is going to collapse for this pig. mining leaps have nothing to do with it.Indians were the primary consumers of gold. They are broke now and have to pay 10% on the dollars that they have borrowed to buy gold. Since gold does not pay interest that money will never be paid offso where will the Indians find money to buy more gold.Holding 1.6 million oz if they start liquidating with no bid the price is down to 300.
India is a busted society, I was mortified when I read about all the missing women, all the elective abortions because females aren't wanted. All the lonely men who can't find brides. They need to tear that society down and rebuild it.
marketwatch is owned by the faux news, "hack little girls phones while they are murdered", murdoch empire.faux news hosted the beckster for years as he pushed physical coins to his red-neck auidience.now the faux news empire is getting on the gold collapse bandwagon: amusing and evil. Is pal murdoch going to avoid jail in the UK? caught in blatant lies.

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Three graduates of Hood River schools have decided to "Aim High" and pursue a career in the U.S. Air Force.
Kameron J. Methvin, 20, Taylor M. Tyynismaa, 19, and Aaron C. Lingel, 21, are currently undergoing training in an occupational specialty after completing boot camp last summer.
Tyynismaa and Methvin are 2012 graduates of Hood River Valley High School and Lingel is a 2010 graduate of Horizon Christian School in Hood River.
Methvin was the first of the three recruits to fulfill eight and a half weeks of basic training requirements at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated with the rank of Airman on July 5 and is currently studying Geospatial Operations Intelligence at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas. He is the son of Tony and Stacey Methvin of Hood River.
On July 19, Lingel earned the rank of Airman and is now training at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, N.M., as a "remotely piloted aircraft sensor operator." He is the son of Darren and Debbie Lingel of Hood River.
Tyynismaa became an Airman on Aug. 2 and is currently stationed at Lackland to receive training in Security Forces. She is the daughter of Edward and Terri Tyynismaa of Hood River.
The local Airmen are among 35,000 recruits who will go to boot camp in Lackland during 2013 to learn basic warfare skills. The base operates under the jurisdiction of the 802nd Mission Support Group and is the only entry processing station for the Air Force.
Recruits are taught the core values of "Integrity First, Service before Self, Excellence in All we Do," through a rigorous program that centers on military discipline, physical fitness, drill and ceremonies.

The present application relates generally to systems and methods for seismic exploration, including the acquisition and processing of seismic data to estimate properties of the Earth's subsurface.
The principal type of data used to explore for oil and gas resources is seismic reflection data that image subsurface geology. There are three seismic wave modes that can be used for subsurface imaging—a compressional-wave (P) mode and two shear-wave modes (SV and SH). When geophysicists acquire seismic data that have all three of these modes, the data are called full elastic-wavefield data. Full elastic-wavefield data have been acquired by deploying three separate orthogonal seismic sources at every source station across a prospect area. One source applies a vertical force vector to the Earth, a second source applies a horizontal force vector in the inline (X) direction, and a third source applies a second horizontal force vector in the crossline (Y) direction.
A system and method of acquiring and processing full elastic waveform data from a vertical-force source comprises providing seismic waves into the earth from the vertical-force source, sensing reflections of the seismic waves at multi-component geophones placed along the surface of the earth, and processing the reflections of the seismic waves to generate full elastic waveform data.
According to another exemplary embodiment, a system and method of processing horizontal shear wave mode data from a vertical-force source comprises providing seismic waves from the vertical-force source, sensing reflections of the seismic waves at multi-component geophones placed along the surface of the earth, and processing the reflections of the seismic waves to generate horizontal shear wave mode data.
According to another exemplary embodiment, a system for acquiring and processing shear wave mode data from an explosive source comprises a vertical-force source configured to provide seismic waves, a multi-component geophone, and a processing circuit. The multi-component geophone is placed along the surface of the Earth. The geophone is configured to sense reflections of the seismic waves. The processing circuit is configured to process the reflections of the seismic waves to generate horizontal shear wave mode data. The processing comprises providing polarity correction to the reflections to achieve the horizontal shear wave mode data.
According to another exemplary embodiment, a system for acquiring and processing shear wave mode data from a vertical-force source other than an explosive source comprises a vertical-force source, a multi-component geophone and a processing circuit. The vertical-force source is configured to provide seismic waves comprising compressional P mode and both fundamental shear modes (SH and SV) in the earth directly at a point of application of the vertical-force source. The vertical-force source is a non-explosive source. The multi-component geophone is placed along the surface of the Earth. The geophone is configured to sense reflections of the seismic waves. The processing circuit is configured to process the reflections of the seismic waves to generate shear wave mode data.
One or more embodiments described herein may provide a method by which full elastic-wavefield seismic data (P, SV and SH modes) can be acquired and processed using only one source, a vertical-force source. The embodiments may be simpler and lower-cost than using three orthogonal-force sources. The embodiments may be used in oil and gas exploration and exploitation where seismic data are widely used. The embodiments may remove numerous technical, environmental, and cost barriers that limit applications of full elastic-wavefield seismic data.
One or more embodiments described herein may involve departures from conventional seismic data processing strategy.
One or more embodiments described herein may reduce the cost of acquiring complete elastic-wavefield seismic data. The daily rate for utilizing a single vertical-force source is less than the rates of deploying both a vertical-force source and a horizontal-force source to acquire equivalent data. Further, data may be acquired quicker by deploying a single source at each source station to create full elastic-wavefield data rather than deploying a vertical-force source and a horizontal-force source. The longer a contractor works to acquire data, the greater the cost of the data.
One or more embodiments described herein may provide the ability to acquire elastic-wavefield seismic data across a wider range of surface conditions, such as swamps, marshes, rugged mountain terrain, dense timber, and agricultural regions. Vertical-force sources can operate in a wide variety of surface terrains. For example, shot hole explosives can be used in swamps, marshes, heavy timber, or rugged mountains, all of which are places horizontal sources cannot be deployed at all, or at great cost because of site preparations. Vertical vibrators can be deployed in high-culture and residential areas without causing physical damage to buildings and infra-structure.
One or more embodiments described herein may provide a wider choice of seismic sources. There is a limited choice of horizontal-force seismic sources—such as heavy, horizontal vibrators or inclined-impact sources. The total number of horizontal vibrators across the world is small. The number of inclined-impact sources is less. More of each type of source could be manufactured if demand appears. In contrast, there are hundreds of vertical-force sources. The dominating classes of vertical-force sources are vertical vibrators (hundreds around the world) and shot hole explosives (available anywhere). Vertical-impact sources are few, but they too can be manufactured in mass if a market is created. For vertical seismic profile (VSP) data acquisition in remote areas (for example equatorial jungles), an air gun fired in a mud pit would be a vertical-force source. One or more embodiments described herein may allow geoscientists to select from a large menu of vertical-force sources: vertical vibrators, shot-hole explosives, vertical-impactors, or mud pit air guns.

The propagation velocities of the SH and SV shear modes may differ by only a few percent, but both shear velocities (VS) are significantly less than the P-wave velocity (VP). The velocity ratio VP/VS can vary by an order of magnitude in Earth media, from a value of 50 or more in deep-water, unconsolidated, near-seafloor sediment to a value of 1.5 in a few dense, well-consolidated rocks.

Horizontal-Force Sources and SH/SV Illumination
Referring to
A horizontal source-displacement vector oriented in the Y direction (left side of figure) causes SV modes to radiate in the +Y and −Y directions and SH modes to propagate in the +X and −X directions. A horizontal source-displacement vector oriented in the X direction (right side of figure) causes SV modes to radiate in the +X and −X directions and SH modes to propagate in the +Y and −Y directions. If a line is drawn from the source station 302, 304 to intersect one of these radiation circles, the distance to the intersection point indicates the magnitude of that particular mode displacement in the azimuth direction of that line. The orientation of the particle-displacement vector remains constant across the image space, but the magnitude of the SH and SV particle-displacement vectors vary with azimuth as shown by the SH and SV radiation circles on

Vertical-Force Sources and Direct-S Illumination
One type of source used in onshore seismic data acquisition applies a vertical displacement force to the Earth. Among these vertical-force sources are vertical weight droppers and thumpers, explosives in a shot hole, and vertical vibrators. Such sources are traditionally viewed as only P-wave sources, but they also produce robust S wavefields.

The calculation of
A definitive way to illustrate the P and direct-SV radiation produced by a vertical-displacement source is to analyze its downgoing wavefield using vertical seismic profile (VSP) data. One example of VSP data acquired in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico with a vertical vibrator used as a source is provided as

The term "SV" is used above to describe the S-wave radiation. However, as will be seen below, the term "SV" should be replaced with the broader term "S", meaning the radiated S-wave energy is both SV and SH when the radiation is considered in a 3D context rather than as a single vertical profile.
To illustrate the principle that S-wave radiation produced by a vertical-force source consists of both SV and SH modes, the pattern displayed on the right of
Field Test
The Exploration Geophysics Laboratory (EGL) at the Bureau of Economic Geology initiated a field-test program to quantify the geometrical shapes and relative strengths of compressional (P)-wave and shear (S)-wave modes produced by a variety of seismic sources. The first test program was done at the Devine Test Site owned by The University of Texas at Austin and managed by EGL researchers. Sources deployed for this initial test were: 1-kg package of explosive positioned at a depth of 20 ft, a horizontal vibrator, a vertical vibrator, and an accelerated-weight that impacted the Earth vertically and at inclined angles.

Transforming VSP Data to Wave-Mode Data
In a vertical well, azimuth orientations of X,Y horizontal geophones deployed by twisted-wire cable differ at each downhole station because of receiver-module spin. As a result, phase shifts and amplitude variations introduced into data by station-to-station variations in receiver orientation do not allow individual events or distinct wave modes to be recognized, particularly S-wave events that tend to dominate horizontal-sensor responses. In this case, receivers are mathematically oriented to specific azimuths and inclinations to define downgoing and upgoing P and S modes.

To determine inclination angle Φ (
Data transformed to this second coordinate system defined by an azimuth rotation of θ and an inclination angle of Φ have optimal separation of P, SV, and SH modes, with P, SV, and SH being the dominant data on the rotated and tilted Z, X, and Y sensors, respectively.
Referring to
SV waves produced directly at the source means SV waves are generated exactly at the point where a vertical force is applied to the Earth. There does not have to be an impedance-contrast interface close to the source to cause SV to come into existence. SV will propagate away from a vertical-force source even in a thick, homogeneous medium in which there are no interfaces.
In contrast, P-to-SV conversions occur only at interfaces where there is an impedance contrast. Any time a P-wave arrives at an interface at any incident angle other than 0 degrees (normal to the interface), some of the illuminating P energy converts into reflected and refracted P, and some converts into reflected and refracted SV. Thus P-to-SV conversion occurs at interface coordinates remote from a source, not directly at the source point. A converted SV mode requires two conditions be present: 1) an interface across which there is a contrast in acoustic impedance, and 2) a P-wave raypath arriving at that interface at an angle that is not normal to the interface. When the incident angle is 0 degrees (raypath perpendicular to the interface), the P-to-SV reflection coefficient is zero. At other incident angles, the P-SV reflection coefficient is non-zero.

Although vertical-force source data do not produce the same S-wave data polarities as conventional horizontal-force sources, data polarity reversals, corrections, inversions or adjustments in appropriate portions of seismic image space transform vertical-force polarities to horizontal-force polarities. After these polarity adjustments, vertical-force source data can be processed just as horizontal-force source data are, using known algorithms.
A constant plot gain is applied to each data panel on each of
According to theory, SH data do not convert to either P or SV modes as an elastic wavefield propagates through a layered Earth, and conversely, P and SV modes do not convert to SH modes. No SH data panel contains P or SV events, which indicate the wavefield separations displayed on
Another piece of evidence confirming the two S modes shown on
Data Processing
There is a difference between S-wave source displacement vectors produced by vertical-force sources and conventional horizontal-force sources. The S-wave displacement applied to the Earth by a horizontal-force source is shown on
S-wave data-processing strategies across the seismic industry are based on the assumption that data polarities are constant across the entirety of seismic image space. Thus the polarities of S-wave data acquired with a vertical-force source can be adjusted to look like constant-polarity data produced by a dipole source via a data-polarity adjustment.
Referring to
The azimuth direction of positive polarity in crossline and inline directions is arbitrary. However, once a data processor selects certain inline and crossline directions as being positive polarities, he/she has automatically divided inline and crossline seismic image space around a vertical-force source station into two polarity domains—a positive-polarity domain and a negative-polarity domain.
A real-data example of this data-polarity principle is illustrated in
The data processing for SV and SH wave modes produced directly at the point of application of a vertical-force source differs from that of processing converted-SV data. With direct-source data, data polarities are reversed in the negative-offset domain, and once this data-polarity correction is done, data in the two offset domains are processed as a single data set, not as two separate data sets. Direct-source S-wave data can be processed with common-midpoint (CMP) strategies; whereas, P-SV data are processed with common-conversion-point (CCP) strategies. Velocity analyses of data are done differently in these two data-processing domains—common midpoint versus common conversion point.
The EGL test data show that vertical-force sources, commonly perceived as P-wave sources, generate more S energy directly at the force application point than they do P energy. In one embodiment, the S energy is generated directly at the force application point of the source, rather than through applications of P-to-SV mode conversions at sub-surface interfaces.
In addition, field tests show vertical-force sources produce a high-energy, high-quality SH mode directly at the source station in addition to an SV mode. This statement is confirmed by:
Thus, the EGL source test program evidences that full-elastic-wavefield data (P, SV, SH) can be acquired using vertical-force sources.
The existence of SV mode data directly at the source station can be contrasted with SV data which is converted at impedance-contrast interfaces in the Earth from P to SV mode by some layers of media below the Earth's surface, which can be referred to as "near the source." There are only two ways to generate an SV shear mode: 1) use a source that produces an SV displacement directly at the source station, or 2) use a source that generates a robust P wave and utilize the converted SV modes that P wave produces when it illuminates an interface at any incident angle other than 0 degrees.
As explained above, SH data are observed in data produced by the three general types of vertical-force sources (vertical vibrator, vertical impact, shot hole explosive), which means an SH displacement occurs directly at the point where a vertical-force source applies its force vector to the Earth.

A velocity filter is any numerical procedure applied to seismic data that emphasizes events that propagate with a certain targeted velocity behavior and attenuates events that propagate with velocities different from this targeted velocity. There are numerous algorithms available to seismic data processors that perform velocity filtering. Some of these filters operate in the frequency-wavenumber (f-k) domain, some in the time-slowness (tau,p) domain, some are median filters in the time-depth domain, etc. Velocity filters allow primary P reflections to be segregated from P multiples, and S events to be isolated from P events.
Converted SV events have a faster velocity than do direct-S events because a converted SV involves a downgoing P wave; whereas, the downgoing raypath for a direct-S event is S (much slower than P). Velocity filters can be designed that pass the slow velocities associated with an S-S event (downgoing S and upgoing S) and reject the faster velocities of P-SV events (downgoing P and upgoing SV).
At a block 2006, the processing circuit is configured to reverse polarities of inline and crossline horizontal-sensor data acquired at negative offsets, as described above with reference to
At a block 2010, radial sensor data are set aside as an SV data base, and transverse sensor data are set aside as an SH data base. This segregation of SV and SH modes allows the modes to be individually introduced (e.g., as separate data sets) into the data-processing stream starting at block 2012.
At a block 2012, any one of numerous velocity analysis procedures available in the seismic data-processing industry may be applied to each wave mode, P, SV, and SH, separately. Popular velocity-analysis options are semblance stacking, frequency-wavenumber analysis, and time-slowness analysis. This step identifies an optimal velocity function for each wave mode that will emphasize primary reflection events for that wave mode and attenuate noise, interbed multiples, and spurious events from competing wave modes.
At a block 2014, static corrections are applied to improve reflector alignment. These corrections involve time shifts of data acquired at each source and receiver station. Because these time shifts are applied to an entire data trace, they are termed static corrections to differentiate them from dynamic time adjustments done by other processes. One static correction removes timing differences caused by variations in station elevations by adjusting time-zero on each data trace to mathematically move all source and receiver stations to a common datum plane. A second static correction removes timing differences cause by different velocities being local to different source and receiver stations. The end result of these static corrections is an improvement in reflection continuity.
At a block 2016, any one of many noise rejection procedures may be applied to the data to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Some noise rejection options may be simple frequency filters. Others may be more sophisticated tau-p, f-k, or deconvolution procedures.
At a block 2018, the data are stacked (or summed) to create an initial image. Embedded in this step is a dynamic time adjustment of reflection events called a moveout correction that is applied to flatten reflection events to the same time coordinate at all source-receiver offsets. A data-acquisition geometry may cause many source-receiver pairs to produce reflection events at the same subsurface coordinate. In stacking, the flattened reflections from all source-receiver pairs that image the same subsurface coordinate are summed to make a single image trace at that image-space coordinate. When this stacking process is extended across the entire seismic image space, a single image trace with high signal-to-noise character is produced at each image point in the image space. It is at this step that a data processor gets his/her first look at the quality of the velocity analysis and static corrections that have been applied to the data (e.g., by displaying the data on an electronic display, printing the data using a printer, etc.).
At a block 2020, the data processor has to decide if the image is satisfactory or if the data processing should be repeated to improve the accuracy of the velocity analyses that perform the dynamic moveout corrections of reflection events and to improve the accuracies of the static corrections that time shift reflection events at each source and receiver station. If the decision is to repeat the imaging process, the procedure returns to block 2012 and proceeds to block 2020 again. If the Earth consists of flat horizontal layers, these stacked data are a good image of the subsurface geology. If Earth layers are dipping or faulted, these stacked data are not a true image of the geology, but they still indicate the quality of the true image that will be created when the data are migrated (Block 2022).
At a block 2022, the data are migrated. Migration is a procedure that utilizes a seismic-derived velocity model of the Earth to move reflection events from their coordinate positions in offset-vs-time image space to their correct subsurface positions in the Earth. Numerous migration algorithms are available in the seismic data-processing industry. Some algorithms are proprietary to data-processing companies; others are available as commercially leased software or as shared freeware. Time migration assumes velocity varies only in the vertical direction. Depth migration allows velocity to vary both vertically and laterally.

Extant Data
The systems and methods described herein may be applied to processing of extant or pre-existing or legacy sets of seismic data. According to one example, a memory comprises seismic data which may be raw, unprocessed or partially processed. The seismic data may have been generated months or years prior to the processing of the data. A processing circuit may be configured to process the seismic data to generate, provide, or achieve full elastic waveform data. For example, the processing circuit may be configured to reverse polarities of horizontal sensor data acquired at negative offsets as described herein to generate S mode data, such as SH mode and SV mode data. The processing circuit may further be configured to extract P, SH, and SV modes from the previously recorded data. In one embodiment, the seismic sensors will have been receiving data for a sufficient period of time, such as at least ten seconds or at least twelve seconds, in order to receive all of the slower-moving SH and SV modes in addition to the P mode data.
According to one embodiment, sources other than explosive sources (i.e. non-explosive sources, such as vertical vibrators and vertical-impact sources) may be used to construct S-mode images, such as SV and SH images. The advantages of non-explosive sources include that they are acceptable sources in environments where explosive sources are prohibited or impractical. Exemplary advantages include:
S data can be acquired in the widest possible range of environments when vertical-force sources are utilized. Explosive sources can be used in swamps, mountains, etc. where non-explosive sources are not feasible or practical, and vibrators and vertical impact sources can be used in high-culture areas (cities, roads, etc) where explosives are prohibited, and when budget constraints limit source options.

Please bear in mind that I was referring to redundant tests slowing the test suite. Redundant is being used here to mean unnecessary. If you are advocating more tests, each of which increases coverage to some degree, then I am in agreement with you.
Redundancy in the test suite - by definition - is pointless, and serves to lengthen the wait every time it is run, and that will multiply up and become, as I said, an issue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the critical importance of technical training and customer service excellence, LG Electronics USA has expanded the "LG Excellence Contractor Program," a comprehensive training and contractor recognition program designed to assist independent HVAC contractors in selling, installing and servicing LG residential home comfort solutions.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110203/CG42292LOGO-d)
The LG Excellence Contractor Program helps set participating contractors apart from their competitors with extensive technical and customer care training on today's advanced ductless HVAC systems. To enroll in the program, contractors must be nominated by their local distributor or an LG sales manager, participate onsite in a local LG Contractor Opportunity meeting, and complete product and applications online training courses available as part of the LG Learning Management System (LMS) or through certified instructor-led training courses in one of the state-of-the-art U.S. LG Training Academies in Georgia, Texas, New Jersey and California.
"As duct-free solutions become increasingly popular versus traditional heating and cooling systems, accurate and proper installations and services are necessary," said Mark Hatala, national distribution installer manager, LG Electronics USA Commercial Air Conditioning. "At LG, we know that long-term efficiency, comfort and reliability start with proper installation of the equipment, and we're proud to work with our distribution partners to support residential contractors nationwide through our LG Excellence Contractor Program."
To help expand the LG Excellence Contractor Program, first launched last spring, LG has brought together a team of "LG Ambassadors," a dedicated group of key distributors that works with the LG sales team to recruit and call on local contractors.
Upon enrollment in the program, contractors can take advantage of a number of attractive benefits for 2014, including:
- Lead referrals from consumer outreach campaigns and listing on the LG website contractor locator, making new customer acquisition easier than ever,
- Access to LG materials including advertisements, literature, vehicle decals and promotional items to assist in marketing efforts,
- Ongoing training available online or in one of four regional training academy locations,
- Customer-focused technical support through the LG support line, and
- "LG Perks Points" for sales of eligible LG duct-free products through the LG Perks incentive program.
In addition, contractors who complete all of the requirements of the program and become LG Excellence Contractors receive a one-year limited labor warranty inclusive of the indoor and outdoor equipment. LG Excellence Contractors also receive double Perks points to help them earn great incentives faster.
LG duct-free split residential systems represent some of the industry's most innovative home comfort solutions available in the United States. LG's goal is to ensure that contractors provide superior customer and product support to builders and homeowners who purchase LG products.
LG's extensive training and certification efforts, with a focus on the LG Excellence Contractor Program, will be highlighted at the AHR Expo. For more information, please visit LG Electronics AHR Expo booth number 7923.

Some of the maritime industry's leading practitioners have urged global shipbuilders and suppliers not to let the current shipping boom distract them from what must remain their top priority: the construction of quality vessels.
The comments, made at the 7th annual meeting of Lloyd's Register Asia's China National Committee (CNC), came as global shipbuilding capacity was set to eclipse 50 million compensated gross tons next year, raising concerns about the number of inexperienced yards entering the market and the growing pressure to find increasingly scarce skilled workers.
Zhang Guangqin, the President of the China Association of National Shipbuilding Industry, said with the appreciation of the Yuan, rising interest rates, and surging raw material and labour costs already threatening to curb the global appetite for new ships, any slip in shipbuilding quality could bring an end to the current demand cycle.
"Quality issues are the best excuses for ship owners to stop ordering and, with so many challenges emerging for the yards to manage, strengthening quality management should be the most urgent and important task," Zhang told delegates in Sanya, Hainan Island. "This year needs to be the Year of Quality for 's marine industries."
The CNC meeting hosted by Lloyd's Register was attended by more than 40 of the country's top builders, owners and designers who collectively challenged the industry to renew its commitment to quality, noting that failure to do so would reach beyond the industry to adversely impact on the overall 'Made in China' brand.

Early harvest reports suggest that frost and wind may have mildly affected the Bartlett pear crop in Hood River Valley.
Orchardists in the lower and middle parts of the valley began picking Bartletts this week, following the smaller harvest of Star Crimson pears in the lower valley.
"The quality is not as good as we had last year, based on fruit size and some frost marking because we had quite a few cold nights," said Craig Mallon, field supervisor with Duckwall Fruit in Odell. He said markings from "limb rub" seem to be prevalent, following an "exceptionally windy year" in the valley.
The result could be that some of the Bartletts, primarily destined for canneries, could be downgraded from top grade, Mallon said.
"We're just getting some fruit in from the lower valley, but the first indications are that it is lighter crop than we thought," he said.
"From what we see now, the last couple years had some very nice quality, clean pears, and it looks like in certain areas of the valley this crop has a few more defects to it and may be a bit smaller," Mallon said.
Orchardist Steve Bickford of Pine Grove said his Bartlett crop will be "a little less than last year, but a good crop." He expects to pick 1,200-1,300 bins of Bartletts.
Mallon said the pear bloom dates were "a tad late," in April, and the weather was cool in the crucial first six weeks following bloom day.
Mallon said harvesting of upper valley Star Crimsons should start next week, followed by upper valley Bartletts a week after that. Bartletts make up about 30 percent of the pear harvest in Hood River Valley.
The estimated start for the county's primary pear, Anjous, is Sept. 9 in the lower valley, Mallon said. Upper valley Anjous start later in September. Anjous comprise 60 percent of all pears picked in Hood River County.
Bickford was glad to be harvesting.
"This is the time of year when we start to make money instead of spending it. This is the culmination of the entire year," he said.

Agency accepting oral comments on Solid Waste rule proposal
Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - 18:12 Updated 1 year ago Edited from a Press Release
The proposed rule revision establishes protocols for the proper handling, management and disposal of drill cuttings and associated drilling mud generated in the exploration and production of oil and gas from the horizontal drilling process. It also requires radiation and leachate monitoring at all facilities receiving drill cuttings and associated drilling mud.
The comment period ends at the conclusion of the public hearing.
The proposed rule, once approved by the Legislature next spring, would replace an emergency rule that went into effect July 10. The emergency rule mirrors the proposal the agency will be taking comments on at the July 30 hearing. The proposal can be viewed on the DEP's website at http://www.dep.wv.gov/pio/Pages/Rules.aspx.
