W3C, which hasn't had a CEO since at least last July, has hired ex-Novell CTO Jeff Jaffe, who was reorg'd out of there at Christmas.
He's supposed to run the place day-to-day and do battle with its bureaucracy, standards process, political in-fighting and budget on an MIT salary without stepping on Tim Berners-Lee's toes. Berners-Lee remains director.

Jaffe was four years at Novell and said on his last blog that a lot of his time was spent cultivating relationships with Microsoft, SAP and IBM. Before that he was five years at Bell Labs as president of research after doing 20 years at IBM, including a stint as corporate VP of technology. He went to MIT, by the way, and since he was working in Massachusetts anyway doesn't have to move.
By way of welcome Jaffe was attacked on Slashdot as one of the architects of the notorious Novell-Microsoft patent deal as well as "a software patent supporter, Microsoft apologist, and no fan of the FSF," the Free Software Foundation and its GPL license. See also the charming http://boycottnovell.com/2010/03/08/jeff-jaffe-w3c-workgroup/.
At W3C Jaffe is going to have to deal with the breakaway Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group, or WHATWG, that went off in a snit because W3C was dragging its feet and decided to abandon HTML for XML-based technologies.
It was subsequently invited back in but got to keep its own operating processes, which are at variance with W3C's. Its major drivers are Mozilla, Apple, Google and Opera. While Microsoft, IBM and Apple are co-chairs, the editor (and the power) now comes from Google.
They're operating WHATWG/HTML5 - ya know like in HTML5 v Adobe-proprietary Flash and the web as platform - sort of like an open source program. The spec is over a thousand pages long, and it's based on current practice with stuff tossed in. There was an argument between Og Theora supporters (like Mozilla) and Apple, which supports only H.264. They couldn't settle on a video codec, so it omitted it altogether.
See http://www.talkstandards.com/flash-back-and-flash-forward-the-role-of-proprietary-standards-and-innovation/ for a somewhat simplistic view. Flash supports H.264 and an earlier version of ON2, now owned by Google.
SYS-CON Events announced today that the "Second Containers & Microservices Expo" will take place November 3-5, 2015, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

The Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), which enables organizations to seamlessly run in a hybrid cloud model (public + private cloud), is here to stay. IDC estimates that the software-defined networking market will be valued at $3.7 billion by 2016. Security is a key component and benefit of the SDDC, and offers an opportunity to build security 'from the ground up' and weave it into the environment from day one. In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Reuven Harrison, CTO and Co-Founder of Tufin,...

Container technology is sending shock waves through the world of cloud computing. Heralded as the 'next big thing,' containers provide software owners a consistent way to package their software and dependencies while infrastructure operators benefit from a standard way to deploy and run them. Containers present new challenges for tracking usage due to their dynamic nature. They can also be deployed to bare metal, virtual machines and various cloud platforms. How do software owners track the usag...

You often hear the two titles of "DevOps" and "Immutable Infrastructure" used independently. In his session at DevOps Summit, John Willis, Technical Evangelist for Docker, covered the union between the two topics and why this is important. He provided an overview of Immutable Infrastructure then showed how an Immutable Continuous Delivery pipeline can be applied as a best practice for "DevOps." He ended the session with some interesting case study examples.

One of the ways to increase scalability of services – and applications – is to go "stateless." The reasons for this are many, but in general by eliminating the mapping between a single client and a single app or service instance you eliminate the need for resources to manage state in the app (overhead) and improve the distributability (I can make up words if I want) of requests across a pool of instances. The latter occurs because sessions don't need to hang out and consume resources that could ...

Microservices has the potential of significantly impacting the way in which developers create applications. It's possible to create applications using microservices faster and more efficiently than other technologies that are currently available. The problem is that many people are suspicious of microservices because of all the technology claims to do. In addition, anytime you start moving things around in an organization, it means changing the status quo and people dislike change. Even so, micr...

Take the Long View with Digital Transformation By @IoT2040 | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #Microservices #InternetOfThings
Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve. Digital Transformation means: handling all the data types being found and created in the organizat...

Approved this February by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), HTTP/2 is the first major update to HTTP since 1999, when HTTP/1.1 was standardized. Designed with performance in mind, one of the biggest goals of HTTP/2 implementation is to decrease latency while maintaining a high-level compatibility with HTTP/1.1. Though not all testing activities will be impacted by the new protocol, it's important for testers to be aware of any changes moving forward.

Modern DevOps Tool Kit By @Logentries and @NewRelic | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Containers #Microservices
Auto-scaling environments, micro-service architectures and globally-distributed teams are just three common examples of why organizations today need automation and interoperability more than ever. But is interoperability something we simply start doing, or does it require a reexamination of our processes? And can we really improve our processes without first making interoperability a requirement for how we choose our tools?

The Internet of Things. Cloud. Big Data. Real-Time Analytics. To those who do not quite understand what these phrases mean (and let's be honest, that's likely to be a large portion of the world), words like "IoT" and "Big Data" are just buzzwords. The truth is, the Internet of Things encompasses much more than jargon and predictions of connected devices. According to Parker Trewin, Senior Director of Content and Communications of Aria Systems, "IoT is big news because it ups the ante: Reach out ...

Where the Network Got Invited to the Party By @LMacVittie | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Docker #Containers #Microservices
At DevOps Summit NY there's been a whole lot of talk about not just DevOps, but containers, IoT, and microservices. Sessions focused not just on the cultural shift needed to grow at scale with a DevOps approach, but also made sure to include the network "plumbing" needed to ensure success as applications decompose into the microservice architectures enabling rapid growth and support for the Internet of (Every)Things.

Avant-Art, the Hunter Museum of American Art's young-minded contemporary group, will host Hunter Underground on Saturday, Feb. 23, beginning at 8 p.m.
This is the sixth year for Hunter Underground, an event that features food, beverages, entertainment and a chance to party in the basement of the Hunter Museum. The event also offers a silent auction of art geared toward the new collector.
Works in the silent auction are from local and regional artists and galleries. A preview of the silent auction items will be available at huntermuseum.org in early February.
One of the most popular elements of Hunter Underground is the Smash and Grab gallery. With a suggested donation of $25, Hunter Underground attendees can be entered into a drawing. Names will be drawn throughout the night. Attendees whose tickets are drawn have 30 seconds to enter the Smash and Grab gallery to grab a work of art to add to their personal collections.
"Smash and Grab is a fun way to add to or begin a personal art collection," said Lindsay Richardson, Avant-art committee chair. "The key is to buy multiple chances so you're more likely to take home one of the works by some very well-known artists."
Hunter Underground is sponsored by FirstBank and Brewer Media, and tickets may be purchased via the Hunter's website or by calling 267-0968. Advance tickets are $40 per person for members of Avant-Art, $50 for non-Avant-Art members. Tickets are $60 at the door. Tickets include event admission, food, beer, wine, signature cocktails and soft drinks.
Tickets are required. Attendees much be 21 or older. Visit http://www.huntermuseum.org/welcome/hunter-underground.html or call 267-0968 to purchase tickets by telephone.

Long runs. Fresh snow and if you are lucky enough you might be able to ski with some snow-monkeys like we did.
Great Ski Resort and best tree skiing. The Japow was terrific. Check out the ski guide services provided by "Powder Recon" for excellent guides, terrific value, beautiful and well priced accommodation and terrific local culture at local restaurants
We love Suginohara ski resort. Great snow and a choice of terrain makes it an ideal resort for everyone. Down the bottom is nice and gentle for beginners whilst up the top there are challenging runs for the experts. And if you want a really long run, ski the gondola.
If you are really lucky you will get to see...
What can I say? No lift lines, cheap tickets, deep powder, this place is great, only downside - some better cafes. Not much choice.
The only issue for us, coming from Akakura Onsen in late March, was the cessation of the shuttle bus. But it wasn't an issue because Kougakuro royokan gave us rides there and back! Having skied at Onsen, Akakan and Suginohara, it was a no brainer to choose Suginohara on our fourth and final day. We were lucky to have sunshine...
Incredibly long runs but they try to groom the slopes too heavily. One of the longest gondolas in Japan with some good red slopes and a lot of green slopes. We skied there two days with some moderate powder on the first day that was compressed into slick icy patches by the groomers overnight.
We loved skiing Sugi for a day! There is plenty of terrain and big wide piste slopes! The lifts are all top quality.. Especially that spacious gondola!!! Easy to get to from akakura onsen via the free shuttle! Only down point is there wasn't a lot of challenging steep slopes but still had a great day here!
Great variety of skiing, big wide groomers, powder, powder-trees, uncrowded, park area. Best resort in the Myoko area
great off piste runs and a fun little park. if there is lots of powder, get there on the first bus before it all gets tracked out!
Very snowboarder friendly resort- hardly any flats and all the lifts have footrests. Wide groomers for beginners and lots of powder in the trees for intermediates. Beautiful tree-lined runs with views of lakes below. Our hotel owner told us that you can even see Mt. Fuji from Suginohara if you come on a clear day. Definitely come here if you...

"It posits that social groups that have more members are going to be more attractive to join, and it posits that social groups have a social status or utility,"
Sounds like the standard BS of conflating the lack of a religion as a religion itself.
To paraphrase, "Not having a religion is a social group just as much as not collecting stamps is a hobby."
The study is suggesting that identifying as non-religious has a social "utility"
And does not collecting stamps have a social utility?

Disney Channel's MAKE YOUR MARK to Return 10/19
Justin Bieber and Olympic Gold medalist Gabby Douglas appear, Debby Ryan ("Jessie") and Roshon Fegan ("Shake It Up," "Dancing with the Stars") will once again host and platinum recording artist Cher Lloyd and top choreographer Rosero McCoy are set to judge Disney Channel's popular talent competition for kids, "Make Your Mark: Shake It Up Dance Off." The multi-platform TV, online and radio initiative culminates with two special telecasts, including performances by "Austin & Ally" star/Hollywood Records recording artist Ross Lynch and "Shake It Up" stars Bella Thorne and Zendaya, among others, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19 and SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

Child and youth crime rates continue to fall, but statistics show some serious offences are on the rise.
Youths committed 3582 offences that went through the Youth Court in 2011, down from 3939 offences in 2010, according to Statistics New Zealand.
Of those, 1812 were discharged and 786 were not proven, compared to 1872 and 822 respectively in the previous year.
Homicides were down to six in 2011 from nine in 2010 and acts intended to cause injury offences fell from 537 to 516.
Sexual assaults were up, however, from 72 in 2010 to 81 last year.
The only other offences on the rise were abduction and harassment, and property damage and environmental pollution.
The majority of crimes were committed by young men, nearly 2850, while woman committed 732.
Across all age groups, only children aged 12 and 13 were involved in more crimes, up to 12 last year from three in 2010.

After X-rays, Jake Peavy says right wrist 'will be OK'
|09.13.13 at 12:00 am ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — After the Red Sox' 4-3 loss to the Rays Thursday night, Jake Peavy emerged from the trainer's room with his right wrist taped up. The pitcher had been hit with a sixth-inning line drive off the bat of Tampa Bay's Desmond Jennings.
Peavy stayed in to throw three more pitches (along with a one-hop pickoff throw to first baseman Mike Napoli), retiring Jose Lobaton to end the sixth, before calling it a night.
After the game Peavy had X-rays, which came back negative. The righty said he believed the injury was just a bruise and wouldn't be anything to worry about.
"Just the line drive hit me on the wrist, the outer part of the wrist," he said. "It will be OK."
Peavy got a no-decision, allowing three runs on four hits over six innings, while tying a season high with five walks. He has allowed three or more runs in each of his last two starts after not managing the feat in his previous four starts.

Suicide: Time to talk
In June the Timaru Herald published the first of a series of features on suicide in South Canterbury.
People came forward to share different but profound ways that mental health issues and suicide have impacted on their lives.
For many, their message was this: people shouldn't be afraid to get help, for themselves or for others they believe could be in need of it.
Many agencies in South Canterbury provide mental health services or can connect people with others that provide those services.
The following isn't an exhaustive list, but it is a place to start.
These are agencies in the community you can telephone or walk in to during operating hours and receive help or guidance on how to get help.
Remember, if you believe someone is at risk of suicide, don't wait - phone TACT, South Canterbury's psychiatric crisis helpline, on 0800 277 997. The TACT line is answered 24/7 by a trained and experienced mental health nurse who can, if needed, get in touch with an on-call psychiatrist.
The family doctor
Your general practitioner is likely very familiar with your medical history and has a good idea of what services are available that would be best suited to your needs. GPs can also connect patients with South Canterbury's Brief Intervention Service, which provides a limited number of free individual counselling sessions and can lead to longer-term care if needed.

Contract chipmaker GlobalFoundries Inc has appointed former Motorola Mobility chief Sanjay Jha as CEO, as it prepares to invest $9 billion to $10 billion over the next two years on next-generation semiconductor manufacturing.
Jha, an industry veteran who presided over Motorola's sale to Google Inc (GOOG.O), replaces Ajit Manocha, who was appointed CEO in mid-2011 but now reverts to serving as an adviser to Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Investment Company, GlobalFoundries' owner.
Some in the industry had speculated that Jha would be tapped to run Intel (INTC.O), a job that ultimately went to Brian Krzanich. At GlobalFoundries, Jha will spearhead the chip company's build-out of a leading-edge facility in Malta, New York, plus upgrades to facilities in Singapore and Germany.
GlobalFoundries competes against leading contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), which is also investing heavily in technology to make smaller and costlier integrated circuits.
Growth has slowed for the global semiconductor industry as PC sales sputter and consumers switch to mobile devices. But ATIC executives say contract chip manufacturers will continue to grow at a double-digit pace as more firms outsource production.

(May 23, 2013) -- To alleviate the shortage of physicians in South Texas, The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio this spring accepted the first students into a seven-year Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biology degree and Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree program. It traditionally takes eight years to earn both degrees.
The first 20 students in the FAME (Facilitated Acceptance to Medical Education) Program will start at UTSA this fall and are expected to graduate from the UT Health Science Center in 2020 with their medical degrees. FAME will increase the effectiveness and relevance of pre-doctoral physician education, while shortening its duration and decreasing its cost.
Voelcker Scholar in first class
FAME inductee Brianna Bal, 18, will graduate this month from St. Anthony Catholic High School in San Antonio. Three summers of scientific preparation as a Voelcker Scholar at the UT Health Science Center helped prepare her for this new chapter. The Max and Minnie Tomerlin Voelcker Fund's Biomedical Research Academy provides an immersive biomedical research education and college preparatory program at the Health Science Center for high school students. As a Voelcker Scholar, Bal studied a compound called rapamycin and its effects on aging.
She exhibits a determination that is characteristic of FAME students. "The program will focus a lot of our classes on medical education, so instead of taking classes that won't really matter for becoming a doctor, we will go to classes that are specifically designed for students coming into medical school," Bal said. "There will even be classes that other students have not had before -- blended courses with professors from UTSA and UT Health Science Center teaching together."
She aspires to become an endocrinologist -- a physician who specializes in the body's glandular system, which controls functions such as blood sugar stabilization, bone growth and reproduction. "My goal is to practice endocrinology in the San Antonio area," Bal said.
One of Valley's own joins program
Nearly 300 miles to the south, Bobby Palmos of Harlingen also looks forward to getting started in FAME. "Being a part of the seven-year B.S. to M.D. program is extremely exciting to me," Palmos said. "I first became interested in medicine when I was about 11 or 12. People would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I would say, 'I want to be a doctor.'"
Palmos, soon to graduate from Early College High School, attended summer medical institutes in Harlingen starting as a ninth-grader and worked with medical students and physicians to help set up free clinics in poor border neighborhoods called colonias. He began shadowing physicians at Valley Baptist Health System in 2011. In the summer of 2012, he traveled to Guatemala with a medical mission team. "In four days our team completed 72 surgeries, and during that time all doubts of becoming a physician were erased," he said.
Palmos plans to return to the Rio Grande Valley after medical school to practice as a family physician, he said.
Statistics reflect state's need
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) State Physician Data Book, Texas in 2010:
The FAME program is designed to remove hurdles faced by South Texas students who, by the time of their high school graduation, have the interest and focus to enter such a program.
'We expect these students to become trailblazers'
"We are excited to welcome the outstanding group of students in our joint program with the Health Science Center," said George Perry, dean of the UTSA College of Sciences. "We expect these students to become the trailblazers of this new UT System initiative, which will reduce the time and expense needed to earn a medical degree, increase the effectiveness of professional training, assist in the transformation of medical education and increase the number of practicing physicians serving the South Texas region. The lessons and new curriculum we develop will be transformative for other programs at UTSA."
"Addressing the physician shortage in Texas will take many forms and this program is an important one," said Francisco González-Scarano, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine and vice president for medical affairs at the Health Science Center. "This type of program has been proven at other schools to be an excellent career path. It will be a valuable option for those students who are focused on medical school as they leave high school. Furthermore, if this program is eventually expanded, shortening the time required in order to become a physician will have an important effect on the physician shortage in Texas."
Three years at UTSA, four at the Health Science Center
Students will hit the books at UTSA for three years to earn the B.S. degree in biology. Courses in biology, chemistry, genetics, physiology and other subjects will include medical school preparation specifically designed for FAME students. The College of Sciences and other UTSA colleges will offer this instruction.
FAME participants will begin studies at the Health Science Center in their fourth year. Upon matriculation, pilot program participants will be integrated with the Health Science Center's incoming medical school class. UTSA will award the students their B.S. degrees in biology after they complete their fourth year in the program.
It is estimated that 75 percent of the students who enroll in the pilot B.S.-M.D. program will complete it. The program will include exit points that will allow the remaining students to pursue a variety of majors or pre-health professions with little to no loss of course credits.
Principal leaders in accomplishing the B.S.-M.D. seven-year program include David Henzi, Ed.D. in the Health Science Center School of Medicine; Hans Heidner, Ph.D., UTSA assistant chair of biology; and Alan Vince, Ph.D., director of the UTSA Health Professions Office.
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, one of the country's leading health sciences universities, ranks in the top 3 percent of all institutions worldwide receiving National Institutes of Health funding. The university's schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry, health professions and graduate biomedical sciences have produced approximately 28,000 graduates. The $736 million operating budget supports eight campuses in San Antonio, Laredo, Harlingen and Edinburg. For more information on the many ways "We make lives better®," visit the Health Science Center website.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is an emerging Tier One research institution specializing in health, energy, security, sustainability, and human and social development. With nearly 31,000 students, it is the largest university in the San Antonio metropolitan region. UTSA advances knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. The university embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property -- for Texas, the nation and the world.
Robert Penn Warren said: "How do poems grow? They grow out of your life." That is certainly true for Carmen Tafolla. An associate professor of practice with the UTSA College of Education and Human Development, Tafolla has authored more than 20 acclaimed books of poetry and prose, including "The Holy Tortilla and a Pot of Beans." It won the Tom´s Rivera Children's Book Award in 2009.
Tafolla is a San Antonio native who grew up on the West Side. Attending a private high school, she realized that the literature did not positively portray her community or the people who lived there. She determined to change that in her writing. In published works for both adults and children — more than 200 anthologies, magazines, journals, textbooks and readers in four languages — Tafolla reflects on the rich Mexican-American culture of San Antonio in which she grew up.

International Tanker Management (ITM) managed and Marshall Islands flagged tankers MT PORT LOUIS, MT ALTIUS and the bulker MV PORT MELBOURNE reported that they have became the first vessels to be officially issued with LRIT Conformance Test Report Certification following the successful shipborne equipment conformance testing of the vessels' Inmarsat C equipment.
The event marks a milestone in the development of LRIT. ITM has been participating with the on the development of LRIT and in particular with the development of the LRIT shipborne equipment testing. The completion of the first LRIT conformance tests show the high quality and innovative operational standards of the ITM fleet.
Lars Modin, Managing Director of ITM stated, "We are extremely pleased to be the first operator to be tested and certified under this new legislation. We are now well placed to respond to the demands of our clients and their requirements for LRIT compliance." He was keen to stress the benefits of testing early using Pole Star's LRIT conformance test. "Being able to test our equipment early meant we were able to resolve any issues with terminals early. The technical standards of this test combined with the fact that Pole Star is an approved tester for several maritime administrations helped enormously with the planning and management of our vessels, all of which contributes to our commitment to this regulation. With 100,000 terminals to be tested between now and December, we knew we couldn't afford to wait."

Dynamo Taunt Dallas with Metroplex Billboard
Only two times?
The Dynamo are using a Dallas-area billboard to taunt soccer fans up there about the greatness that is them, at least compared to the Dallas MLS club.
Placed between the city and the FC Dallas stadium in Frisco, it's intended to remind fans who has the trophies in this rivalry.
The Web site MLSsoccer.com reports:
"We consider them our rivals because the in-state portion and I think Houston in general has a hatred for everything Dallas," Dynamo senior vice president Rocky Harris told MLSsoccer.com. "This year, we wanted to get the passion out on both sides. On Facebook we saw fans were talking up the rivalry. We thought we should tap into what the fans were saying."
It went up Monday. Hasn't been defaced yet.

Soundscapes, textures and ambiences ready to use as Kontakt instruments or WAV loops. These sounds are divided in two main categories as the source materials: concrete and gear. The raw concrete samples were recorded in different places across Europe (Paris, Dublin, London and Naples) using studio or handy equipment. The raw gear samples were recorded from hardware synthesizers like a Custom Eurorack Modular Synth, guitar pedals and noisy toys like a Thingamagoop 2. Everything was then processed and boxed inside a Kontakt instrument with a custom performance view. The pitch bend is assigned to a ±24 pitch transpose, good for glitch effects. All samples are perfect loops, so if you don't have Kontakt you can load them directly.

Charllotte and Malena have access to an empty gym to workout. They decide to workout in their underwear to stay more comfortable. This is quite the treat to any onlooker, being that both girls have tight, petite bodies along with nice curves. They start on the treadmill where we get to see gorgeous asses bounce as they walk. As they are squatting Malena spots Charllotte extra close and suggests she do some squats without her underwear. Being the fun loving blond she is Charllotte goes with it. Malena spots her by the ass this time and it drives Charllotte wild. They then start kissing and before long Malena goes down on Charlotte. Then Malena gets on a piece of exercise equipment to give Charllotte easy access to her pussy. But it doesnt stop here. Malena gives Charllotte a little more by eating her ass next. Both girls get quite the workout having had their tongues and pussies well exercised.

Persistently high employment by U.S. standards – upward of 9 percent – figures as a prominent issue for politicians of every stripe seeking to gain or hold political office in the 2012 election.
Perhaps you've had the good fortune of avoiding the campaign advertisements thus far. Enjoy the quiet. They are coming, and the mantra is jobs, jobs, jobs.
"Energy, Jobs & the Economy: Powering America's Future," a report issued in June by the Consumer Energy Alliance highlights the vital role that the energy sector plays in the economy and job creation.
"[T]he lack of a national energy policy has severe consequences for the economy now and in the future – costing hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions in lost revenues … hurdles to domestic energy production could result in the loss of over 500,000 existing or potential jobs," CEA writes.
Better understanding the opportunities and challenges to creating and filling these jobs is the subject of a new study under way at the National Research Council (NRC), the operating arm of the U.S. National Academies, titled "Emerging Work Force Trends in the U.S. Energy and Mining Industries."
The study was made possible thanks to strong congressional support led by Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico) and funding provided by the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
It will analyze:
AAPG members Sally Benson, Joel Renner and Reginal Spiller all are members of the study committee.
One of the information sources the NRC committee undoubtedly will be reviewing is the recently issued "Status of the Geoscience Workforce 2011," authored by Leila Gonzalez and AAPG member Chris Keane of the American Geological Institute's (AGI) work force program. Using data collected independently – along with available federal, industry and professional society sources – the report provides a broad survey of trends, education and jobs across the geosciences.
Earth science education in primary and secondary schools (kindergarten through high school) remains a challenge: In high school only three states – Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina – require earth science coursework for graduation, and in 12 other states earth science credit counts toward graduation.
The lack of an Advanced Placement (AP) or honors course in geology further restricts the exposure students have to the geosciences as a possible course of study in college.
In response, university geoscience departments have developed targeted outreach programs to high school students. As a result, the study finds, these departments are "making progress in filling the gap caused by the lack of an AP geology course, increasing geosciences enrollments at the undergraduate level, and building community awareness of the importance of the geosciences."
This is having a positive impact on the number of geosciences degrees conferred in the United States – bachelor's degrees were up 7 percent in 2009-10 over the previous year, and master's and doctoral degrees were up 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively.
That is good news, but it's not enough.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports there were more than 260,000 geoscience jobs in 2008. The demand for geoscience jobs will grow 35 percent by 2018, according to AGI estimates, when they factor both job growth and normal work force attrition.
That's more than 350,000 geoscience jobs in 2018 – yet, only 1,500 geoscience graduate degrees are conferred each year in the United States, leaving a significant shortfall in the available domestic labor pool.
This shortage is evident in the oil and gas sector, despite the typically higher salaries than in other geoscience sectors. For oil and gas, "the number of younger geoscientists in their early 30s is approximately half the number of those nearing retirement age."
The situation is even worse in the government sector.
"The demographic wave that the oil and gas industry sees looming on the horizon is already crashing over the federal scientific work force," said Chris Keane, who is AGI's technology and communications director.
There is no shortage of societal needs requiring geoscience professionals, the study notes. But there has been a consistent shortage of skilled workers to meet these needs – and this shortage undermines both "public awareness of the profession as well as [in] investment in geoscience education."
One essential ingredient to maintaining a strong geoscience work force is investment in research and development, which is a principal driver of science and technology employment. The federal geoscience R&D investment has shrunk since 2004, the study finds.
That is yet another compelling reason for us to highlight the need for geoscience R&D, and especially a robust federal oil and natural gas R&D program.

GEO-DC welcomed eight AAPG members to Washington, D.C., in May for AAPG Congressional Visits Day 2011.
This annual event is an opportunity for AAPG members to meet with legislators and their staff – as well as regulators and policy makers in the Executive Branch – to talk about energy issues facing the nation.
Our conversations in May centered on the interrelationships of energy, gas prices, the economy and the environment. We also discussed the need for a federal role for research and development in the petroleum geosciences, and talked about hydraulic fracturing technology.
Sincere thanks to all of our participants: Paul Britt, Ross Clark, Cheryl Desforges, Mike Fogarty, Pete MacKenzie, Clint Moore and AAPG past presidents Will Green and Dan Smith. Thank you for helping bring science to our nation's policy makers.
If you'd like to join us for a future CVD please email email@example.com to be added to the invitation list.
We'll publish dates for our next CVD as soon as they're available.
The Tarim Basin is one of the most important hydrocabon-bearing evaporite basins in China. Four salt-bearing sequences, the Middle and Lower Cambrian, the Mississippian, the Paleogene, and the Neogene, have various thickness and areal distribution. They are important detachment layers and intensely affect the structural deformation in the basin. The Kuqa depression is a subordinate structural unit with abundant salt structures in the Tarim Basin. Salt overthrusts, salt pillows, salt anticlines, salt diapirs, and salt-withdrawal basins are predominant in the depression. Contraction that resulted from orogeny played a key function on the formation of salt structures. Growth strata reveal that intense salt structural deformation in the Kuqa depression occurred during the Himalayan movement from Oligocene to Holocene, with early structural deformation in the north and late deformation in the south. Growth sequences also record at least two phases of salt tectonism. In the Yingmaili, Tahe, and Tazhong areas, low-amplitude salt pillows are the most common salt structures, and these structures are commonly accompanied by thrust faults. The faulting and uplifting of basement blocks controlled the location of salt structures. The differences in the geometries of salt structures in different regions show that the thickness of the salt sequences has an important influence on the development of salt-cored detachment folds and related thrust faults in the Tarim Basin.
Salt sequences and salt structures in the Tarim Basin are closely linked to hydrocarbon accumulations. Oil and gas fields have been discovered in the subsalt, intrasalt, and suprasalt strata. Salt deformation has created numerous potential traps, and salt sequences have provided a good seal for the preservation of hydrocarbon accumulations. Large- and small-scale faults related with salt structures have also given favorable migration pathways for oil and gas. When interpreting seismic profiles, special attention needs to be paid to the clastic and carbonate interbeds within the salt sequences because they may lead to incorrect structural interpretation. In the Tarim Basin, the subsalt anticlinal traps are good targets for hydrocarbon exploration.
This year's AAPG Woodford Shale Forum focused on new information and optimization. Included were presenters from the University of Oklahoma, Halliburton, Black Swan Energy Services, and Devon Energy just to name a few.

Content personalization is on all content creators' minds. That takes many different forms, but one element of targeting the right audience and delivering the right content to them is as simple as catering to their age group. Each age demographic has a unique psychology and world view that influences the decisions they make-including what content they consume. What attracts one demographic will not necessarily attract them all. So how do you get your content in front of the right audience?
