Hi all,
These are just some thoughts about Naruto and the nine tail fox throughout the series so far. I thought it would be a good idea to break this up into two parts; Naruto's perpective and the fox's perpective.
Naruto's Perpective
Spoiler!Sage mode as stated by Pa frog only can be achieved by people who have large amounts of chakra and the gutsiest. Now as we all know Naruto managed to master sage mode, but why was Naruto able to master sage mode and not Jiraya? So the only think I could think of that separated them was the nine tail fox. Naruto actually if you think about it has been training for sage mode his whole life. Naruto's chakra circulatory system has been trying to find an equilibrium with nine tails fox's chakra ever since it was sealed in him. I believe his experience in handling the nine tail's chakra essentially an external chakra source like natural energy, allowed him to handle natural energy easier and hence mastered sage mode. Though the nine tails stopped Pa frog from fusing with Naruto for unlimited sage chakra, but he also helped Naruto in my opinion to master sage mode over the years. You can't have everything I guess. I reakon this is a far better reason as to why Naruto mastered sage mode other than the fact he's the hero of the series. And yes I know plot no jutsu is very powerful, but my theory is plausible.
Another instance where I believe the nine tail fox is making life difficult for Naruto (not in sage mode) is the rasengan. Even though he's capable of making a technique like fuuton rasengan he still needs a clone to form a rasengan. It was stated by Jiraiya that Naruto can't spin his chakra randomly very well in one hand so Naruto uses a shadow clone to spin the chakra randomly while Naruto supplies the chakra and makes sure the chakra remains compressed during the random spins. Jiraiya implied at that time Naruto was too young to spin his chakra and Kakashi also stated Naruto is a bit young to use the Rasangan on top the hospital roof after the encounter between Naruto and Sasake. But after the time skip(3 years) Naruto was still unable to perform a rasengan with one hand and ironically three years was same amount of time it took the Forth hokage to complete the rasengan where the Forth hokage would have been able to do it in one hand, as Jiraiya has never saw the method used by Naruto to spin the chakra using hands up until that time. Konohamaru I believe is the exception, Naruto taught him the rasengan at a even younger age than he learned the move, so I'm willing to put it down to age as to why he needs a clone to form a rasengan. I then came to the conclusion Naruto has major difficulties spinning his chakra and it has nothing to with his age. Basically the fox is fooling around with Naruto's chakra making it difficult for Naruto to spin, simply by being present in Naruto's body. This also would explain why Naruto uses shadow clones a lot to bypass problems when he is forced to deal with high degrees of chakra control. But on the flip side with the ability to make so many clones he can train a lot faster than anyone else and his skill in using shadow clones increased through repeated use which allowed him to add wind chakra to the rasengan, again you can't have everything.
Here is a page referring to Naruto's chakra spinning difficulties.
Here are pages from the manga regarding the fox making it difficult for Naruto to control his chakra.
Finally I'd like to sum up what I think is happening between Naruto and nine tails there are the obvious advantages the nine tails gives, stamina, regen, strength and speed etc. But also he tries to make Naruto dependent on him by being a burden and not allowing Naruto to use his chakra effectively. With this all in mind now I would like to share with you a cunning plan the Fox has been orchestrating from the very beginning. I see all the advantages the fox gives as bait to show that Naruto can confine in him to achieve Naruto's goals so Naruto would use him often. While the fox hides his true motives which we saw during the fight with Pain clearly was to be released. Now your all probably wondering how I could come up with such a conclusion with the nine tails fox orchestrating a complex plan for complete control over Naruto and here's why. Based on how the seal works it allows the nine tail's chakra leak from the seal and mix with Naruto's over time. I also believe that "jutsu" the Forth left for Naruto to complete will accelerate this process. So the fox realizes he's fighting a losing battle for control and eventually all of his chakra will mix with Naruto's, which would explain the Nine-Tail's reluctance to aid Naruto in battle and desperately trying to trick Naruto to take the seal off his cage like when he was fighting Pain.
Here are pages referring to the nine tail's chakra leaking from the seal and mixing with Naruto's.
Here is a page regarding the nine tail fox's reluctance to aid Naruto.
And finally here is a page outlining the nine tail fox's desperation and anger when the forth intervened just in time to stop Naruto from releasing him.
Fox's Perspective
Spoiler!We are told by sakura at the start of the series and again by pa frog in the middle of part 2, the continual use of chakra exhausts the user's stamina(psychical energy/life energy what ever word you prefer). So once the user rests their stamina returns and so too their ability to mold chakra again.
Before I go any further the pages where either Jiraiya or Minato talk about what is actually sealed are commonly misunderstood. After the forth hokage was killed by the death god he later mentions to Naruto within his subconcuss he sealed half of the fox's chakra where chakra is made up of the two halves spiritual and physical energy. Jiraiya earlier in part 2 before he died against Nagato told us in fact the spiritual energy(yang) half was sealed within naruto by Minato. The red chakra we see naruto using while in fox mode is the fox's but as to how the fox uses his chakra despite the fact he only access to his spiritual energy is what I'm theorizing.
There are key differences with regards to the fox while he is in Naruto's body that can't be forgotten. In my opinion the way Naruto used(pre-so6p seal) the fox and vice versa is quite complicated and underrated by most. Naruto is a very unique host especially if you compare him to killer bee.
Chakra is created by mixing spiritual energy and physical energy together, how well you do this determines how good your chakra control is.
As we all know before the Fox was sealed within Naruto he had his full chakra (spiritual(yang) and physical(yin) energies). Minato sealed away the fox's physical(yin) energy within the death god and the spiritual(yang) energy within Naruto for him to use. Other than the fact Jiraiya explicitly said this, this is backed up further by the fact that Naruto(pre-so6P sealing) could only access the fox's spiritual energy via highly intensified emotion such as anger. The same way how Sasuke's evolution of his sharingan is driven by intensified emotion and we all know now the sharingan represents the spiritual energies of the so6p.
We also know Minato setup the seal in such a way to leak small amounts of the fox's spiritual energy over time. We were told Minato's seal was put in place to make sure Naruto didn't get taken over by the fox in his younger days until he was ready to take on the fox mentally and forgive himself for feeling dark emotions subconsciously about his village.
But lets look at this from the fox's perspective, he is character in the series and wants to be free.
Originally we all thought the red aura Naruto had while in fox mode was the fox's chakra as absolute. But spiritual energy on its own can't create chakra. It became the red chakra we came to love when the fox molded his spiritual energy with Naruto's physical energy. Which makes total sense as Naruto was barely in control in most of his fox-tail modes and this is further backed up how Naruto did a one handed rasengan while in fox mode against Sasuke. Now that the fox can mold chakra and can replenish his chakra with the help of Naruto's body he has an opportunity to reign havoc in the world once more. Jiraiya's statement about Naruto in 4-tail mode was "he is like a miniature kyuubi" further show us what the fox's plan was all along. And just because Naruto has resealed him now this doesn't mean his role in the story is over. After Naruto stole a large portion of the fox's spiritual energy the fox was still able to create the largest ball of energy we have ever since in the series to date.
I think kishi has already shown us Naruto's physical energy and the fox's spirtual energy merging for a chakra blast in four tail mode where the fox is firmly in control of Naruto's body.
I believe the blue balls are Naruto's physical energy and the red balls are the fox's spiritual energy, originally I though the red balls was Naruto's blood. But then it hit me, it can't be blood because Naruto's blood burned when it came into any contact with the fox's latter transformations.
That's pretty much all I wanted to discuss, Lets us know what you guys think.

Midwest Division?!
Brett Martin
February 28 2013 09:32AM
Spurred by the relocation of the Jets, and a myriad of travel concerns from other teams, the NHL has decided upon their Realignment plans.
It's unofficial at the moment, but as it stands now, the Jets will no longer find themselves as members of the Southeast division, which must be a relief to both the Team and the Environment as their travel schedule will no longer be ridiculously FedEx'esque. Sadly, us Winnipeg fans will have to say goodbye to those classic Hockey rivalries with cities like Sunrise, Florida, and Raleigh, North Carolina. But on the bright side, Steven Stamkos can enjoy his best years lighting up some other teams.
I'm sure you've read the news, but if you haven't, check it from the Horses(NHL) mouth here. The current proposal retains the 2 Conference format, but with 2 divisions in each, rather than 3. The Jets will be in the Western Conference in a newly created 'Midwest' Division. I was hoping that the NHL would see fit to put the Western Canadian in the same division, a la the days of the good ol' Smythe Division. It would be the renewal of classic rivalries. Just imagine the Flames, Jets, Oilers and Canucks all battling for playoff spots! The fun! The grudges! The chance for decades-old revenge!! But it isn't to be. Stymied again. Instead, new rivalries are on the way. Let's take a look at who the Jets will now find themselves clashing with in the Midwest Division:
Chicago Blackhawks - It should be fun to have the Blackhawks in the same division. Jonathon Toews gets the chance to both shine in, and torture the souls of, his hometown. We'll get plenty of Kane on Kane action. As the Jets rise to prominence, the Hawks will surely their to contest them every step of the way.
St. Louis Blues - Good grief. The Blues are one of the best up-and-coming teams in the League, chopped full of young, promising talent - and now the Jets are going to get a good heaping dose of them every year. Great. On the upside, it'll be nice to see a Steen skating in an NHL rink in Winnipeg again.
Nashville Predators - Barry Trotz, Shea Weber, Pekka Rinne, and whoever else they have under contract that year, are always good. Trotz has deep local Hockey roots, so let's hope the Jets destroy the Predators, forcing them to fire Trotz, who is then immediately hired with by the Jets and offered any/every job he wants.
Minnesota Wild - I
f you love up-tempo, exciting, offensive hockey, you're screwed! A team never compared to the Oilers of the 80's, or the Russian Red Army, NHL Canadiens, and WHA Jets of the 70's, watching the Wild makes you want to gouge your eyes out and plead for Actually I just thought a positive. A geographic rivalry! This could actually be fun. Minneapolis is the closest NHL city, and they love their Hockey there in a very Canadian-like manner. There is a good chance of a pretty intense situation brewing here. And since JetsNation has Minnesota native Dustin Byfuglien on their team, Jets fans can already claim preliminary victory over their Wild counter-parts in what should be a fun, and possibly great, rivalry. Cue the Wild Sucks jokes!
Dallas Stars - The Jets WILL mess with Texas!
Colorado Avalanche - Another team chopped full of young stars. Jets fans will get their share of Matt Duchense, Gabriel Landeskog and more. Thank goodness this isn't the 90's, and they don't have Sakic, Forsberg and Roy anymore - but this will still be a team to reckon with in a few years time, if not earlier.
So as you can see, the Jets are in for a tough ride. Regular doses of Kane, Toews, Parise, Duchesne, Weber and more should be fun to watch, but tough to beat.
With Reports suggesting that the Top 3 teams in each division will qualify for the playoffs, along with 2 wild-card spots for the top teams in the Conference outside the aforementioned 6 playoff teams, the Jets find themselves in tough still, even though they only have a 7 team division.
In fact, if the league re-aligned today, the Jets would find themselves in 6th place in the Midwest, ahead of only Colorado. So let's count our blessings that the Jets will spend one more year in the Southeast division, where they are currently tied for First, even though they're technically 9th in the Conference.
That said, with the continual growth of our own Superstar Kane, along with Wheeler, Bogosian, Byfuglien and Ladd, and whatever Jacob Trouba and Mark Scheifele can bring, it's safe to sat the Jets may very well be the team to beat in the Midwest in the years to come.

this is a great new show on cartoon network (yes great and cartoon network, something that has not been said together in a good while ). this show is based on DC comics. not really a parallel of any of the DC series but bases on a mix of the DC universe as a whole with a few twists.
the pilot move premieres NOV.26 in an hour long special with the series starting in January i think. you should be able to catch the special here and there on re runs or the internet.
here are a few links to check out to see if you want to get in on the show
interview with the creators
over all i will not give any specifics about the episode away. BUT the animation way good not to flashy but not bad in any way. there are some small surprises and the plot starts to get deep and show some sub plots even in the first pilot episode. over all even thought i do not give to much of my time to cartoon network any more, lets just say i will be watching this. all in all comic fans should check this out (no matter how old you might be LOL) it looks really good.
oh and to me this does not really fall under anime but f i am wrong sorry for putting it in the TV section.

Do you need more dinosaurs, time travelers, and girl power
in your life? If so, I have two fantastic graphic novels for you. First up, is Paper Girls, Volume 1 by Brian
K. Vaughn, the writer named by Wired Magazine as " the greatest comic book visionary of the last five years." This suspenseful mystery starts
with a slow burn as four paper delivery girls head out to cover their route the
morning after Halloween in 1988. After
the girls accidentally set off a strange machine, the story kicks off at
break-neck speed, and soon the girls are facing off against dinosaurs,
laser-blasting knights, and sub-human creatures that might just be from the future. It's intense, fast-paced, wicked
fun, and the series is only just beginning.
Also, make sure to check out the Lumberjanes series by Grace
Ellis and Noelle Stevenson. Lumberjanes follows five "hardcore lady types"
spending the summer at a crazy camp surrounded by bizarre supernatural
mysteries. The girls fight werewolves, solve riddles, and avoid the ever-watchful
eye of their group counselor in this manic, off-beat, fantastic read. This
series has been out for a while, but you can catch up on Hoopla digital.
Both of these series are a great mash-up of sci-fi, fantasy,
action, and mystery with fabulous artwork. So what are you waiting for?
I have a history of being a latecomer to particular pop culture moments. Though I tend to love low and high brow culture fairly equally, I have snobbish moments and tend to assume if millions of people like something I probably won't. The best example of this is Harry Potter. I was about 13 years old when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published and I had absolutely no interest in joining that craze. I was in Moscow when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published ten years later, and refused to even tag along with friends for the midnight release at an English-language bookstore. But after I started library school I decided I should probably see what all the fuss was about. And of course I loved the books. That is all to say I am fully aware The Walking Dead is presently one of the most popular series on television, you are probably watching the current season, and you may have already devised ways to cope with waiting a week to see a new episode (or even waiting months between seasons!). I know, I am really late to this party. Since I binge-watched nearly 80 episodes in less than one month, and only four episodes remain of the current season, I'm looking for ways to feed my obsession between new episodes/seasons.It appears Hoopla, a library service perhaps best known for streaming movies and music, will fill that void. Hoopla now offers access to comics, including all 24 volumes of the collected The Walking Dead. Comics check out for three weeks, and the great thing about Hoopla is that everything is always available – no holds, no waiting.
Having spent most of my life in libraries as either patron or staff, I naturally gravitated to this little 7" x 7" gem. The subtitle gives a good indication of what the book contains: A Visual Journey to the World's Most Unusual Libraries. The seven chapters are 1) Libraries on the Move, 2) Animal Libraries, 3) Tiny Libraries, 4) Big Libraries, 5) Home Libraries, 6) Mobile Libraries, and 7) Not libraries. Most of the 'institutions,' and I use that term loosely, are definitely cutting edge and/or unorthodox. I love the pictures of the camel carrying books as The Mongolian Children's Mobile Library, the Elephantine Library in Laos, the Biblioburro in Colombia, and the book donkeys in Venezuela. Libraries exist in surprising places and are structured in widely diverse ways. The book shows that libraries are alive, well, needed, and used -- all over the world.
Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand is famously credited with the saying "information wants to be free", but it was hacktivist wunderkind Aaron Swartz who took his quote as marching orders and set out to actually make it free – with both troubling and thought provoking results. The new book The Idealist: Aaron Swartz and the Rise of Free Culture on The Internet by Justin Peters reads like a highly contextualized biography of Swartz and the history and circumstances that led to his tragically taking his own life in 2013 rather than face what most characterize as an overly aggressive federal prosecution for anonymously downloading massive amounts of academic articles from the JSTOR database. Peters veers off from the Swartz storyline multiple times to give context and a sense of history to the complex history of intellectual property in the US, something that he is criticized for in Stephen Witt's NYT Sunday Book Review of the book. But I loved the veering off and the lively and accessible prose that Peters uses here. Aaron Swartz believed deeply in the power of open access to information as the central idea that makes our democracy so powerful. I will leave it to readers of this book to make up their own minds about the status of that ideal today and what they are willing to do about it. Highly recommended!
For more about Swartz and his story, I recommend the great documentary The Internet's Own Boy.
I recently tuned in to one of C-Span's book review programs, and
the author being interviewed immediately struck a chord. Speaking was
Dr. Wayne A. Wiegand, an alumnus of WMU's School of Librarianship (an
institution still held dear by some of us) in the early 1970s. He also
has degrees in history. These, combined with his professional library
and professorial experience, make him eminently qualified to write this
book. Subtitled A People's History of the American Public Library, this
2015 work observes that 'despite dire predictions in the late twentieth
century that public libraries would not survive the turn of the
millennium, their numbers have only increased.' He discusses the public
library as a public space, a place for accessing information, or a home
for reading material that helps patrons make sense of the world around
them. The first sentence of the introduction says, 'It's an indisputable
fact -- Americans love their public libraries.' What a wonderful
John Palfrey's Biblio Tech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google adroitly and lucidly argues for the preservation of that most democratic of public institutions, the public library. Clearly I am the very definition of "preaching to the choir" when it comes to the premise of this book, but Palfrey's clear perspective and the light he sheds on a path toward a public library model that keeps pace with technology and our digitally evolving society is well worth reading and thinking about.
For someone who loves books and reading, and is inflicted with an incurable case of curiosity, working in a library is often both a blessing and a curse. I read hundreds of book reviews every year, I see tons of books every day, and I talk about books with patrons, coworkers, and friends incessantly. On top of those sources, my love of bookstores and the existence of the internet means there are untold book discoveries to be made. All those books lead me to seek out even more books, and there's really no hope I'll ever get to all the titles that catch my eye. Earlier this week, while working in the 400 Dewey range of adult non-fiction (the section for language) I stumbled upon a newer book called 101 Two-Letter Words by musician Stephin Merritt, front man of pop band the Magnetic Fields. It's a little book of short poems, one for each of the two-letter words allowed in Scrabble. I recently started playing Scrabble again, so this book was a happy discovery. Merritt's poems make memorizing the two-letter words easier and more enjoyable. Here are a few poems:AIThe ai, a threatened three-toed slothFound only in Brazil, munches on leaves and sleeps in trees.I hope it always will. QIQi, in Chinese medicine:vitality, or breath;say it "chee," as in "Say cheese!"Its opposite is death.SH"Sh," says the librarian,"people are trying to read.And turn that goddamn cellphone off,before I make you bleed."The book is illustrated by Roz Chast, whose graphic memoir Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, appeared on numerous best of 2014 lists and was a National Book Award finalist. 101 Two-Letter Words persuaded me to finally pick up her book and reminded me that the library's digital magazine service, Zinio, now offers access to the New Yorker, which Chast works for as a cartoonist. My to-read pile continues to grow!

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Geoff (Alabama Asylum)
What are some ways that haunters have been tracking how your advertising is working? If you have posters displayed, flyers, radio ads etc. How do you know which ad is working more then the other?
Geoff (Alabama Asylum)
Good idea but this is the issue that I am having about that. We use the same thing of a coupon on the flyer and we get some back but we also put out thousands of flyers most people read it and know it and show up but don't save the flyer for the coupon. This makes you miss out as to the count of if that advertisement worked.
Whoever gives out the actual tickets at your attraction could just ask when they are doing the transaction. They could have either software <even a word document could work) or even as basic as a paper checklist. Even if they didn't get them all marked, that person would have a really good idea about what worked the best by the end of each night. "How'd you hear about us?" Check.
Coupons on flyers is the best way. If you have the cashier at the ticket window asking and writing down how they heard about you, your line will take forever. We did almost 15,000 people last year and our ticket line was 30 minutes at times. I would stand near the front entrance to our haunt and ask some random people. We gave all our employees flyers and had them write their employee number on it. They were rewarded for promoting for us.

The Bureau of Land Management North Dakota Field Office has received a right-of-way application from Enable Bakken Crude Services, LLC (EBCS) for a proposed Bear Den Phase 2 pipeline project in McKenzie County and is seeking public comments throughout a 30-day public scoping period. The comment period will end on Jan.17, 2014.
The purpose of this public scoping period is to obtain feedback on relevant issues that may influence the scope of the environmental analysis associated with the project application, including alternatives; and guide the process for developing the Environmental Assessment. EBCS filed a right-of-way application proposing to construct, operate, maintain and decommission the proposed Bear Den Phase 2 Project which would include the construction of an approximately 14 mile-long welded steel crude oil pipeline and an approximately 14 mile-long composite produced water pipeline.
The proposed pipelines would transport oil from existing producing oil wells in McKenzie County to an existing outlet pipeline and transport produced water from the same wells to an existing, approved disposal well. The proposed pipelines would be buried and follow existing pipeline and utility easements to the extent practicable.
The BLM is the designated lead Federal agency for preparation of the EA. The U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are cooperating agencies. The BLM intends to prepare the EA to analyze potential socioeconomic and environmental resource impacts by the proposed project Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended.

The Bureau of Land Management North Dakota Field Office is seeking public comments regarding the proposed Enable Bakken Crude Services, LLC (EBCS) Bear Den Project. The BLM will accept comments on the Environmental Assessment (EA) for a 30-day period which will end on July 6, 2013.
The proposed project would include construction, operation and maintenance of crude oil gathering and produced water conveyance pipelines. The project would gather crude oil from numerous wells in McKenzie and Dunn counties south of Lake Sakakawea, east of Watford City and deposit the oil at a central storage and transfer facility near Highway 85, south of Watford City. The project would also convey produced water from numerous oil wells to a State of North Dakota regulated disposal well.
The EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the construction of 68.5 miles of three to eight inch diameter welded steel crude oil pipeline and 59.4 miles of three to six inch diameter composite produced water pipeline. The proposed crude oil pipeline is designed with a capacity of 14,000 barrels of oil per day and the produced water line is designed with a capacity of 3,500 barrels per day. The pipelines would be buried underground and would follow existing pipeline and utility easements and corridors where feasible.

New ideas and technologies, stricter enforcement of safety measures discussed at third annual International Mining Health And Safety Symposium
Adopting new technologies and strengthening enforcement of regulations are two ways in which mining is becoming safer. Both strategies were among those addressed by officials from government, industry and academia during the third annual International Mining Health and Safety Symposium organized by Wheeling Jesuit University and the Utah Labor Commission, and held in Salt Lake City July 28-29.
The gathering began with a moment of silence in memory of the six miners and three rescuers who lost their lives in the tragedy at Utah's Crandall Canyon Mine last August, and in opening remarks, Utah Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr., asked those assembled to dedicate their efforts to those nine victims.
The accident at Crandall Canyon, and others occurring over the past two years at Sago and Aracoma mines in West Virginia, created a sense of urgency that echoed throughout the conference. "We cannot let these miners die in vain," said symposium organizer J. Davitt McAteer, vice president for sponsored programs at Wheeling Jesuit University and former assistant secretary of labor for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
"This event is a first step. It involves representatives from all areas that are integral to the process of improving safety. We must be able assure miners that we can protect them because we understand the issues."
The Crandall Canyon accident was attributed to coal bumps or bursts, sudden violent failures of coal and enclosing strata that displace large amounts of material. The symposium included a panel of national experts on the issue, who addressed recent research and developments in controlling stress levels and energy levels, and in using data from seismic monitoring for prediction and prevention; a technology used widely in the oil industry and in South African gold mines.
In addition to seismic monitoring, tunnel boring was proposed as a technology that could go beyond its original application and be used to assist in mine rescue operations.
"The answer is in the rocks," said McAteer. "Once we fully understand the rocks, including coal, then we can mine the coal safely."
Turning toward other initiatives inspired by recent mine tragedies, Consol Energy President/CEO J.Brett Harvey renewed his 2007 call for zero accidents and described the top-down, zero-accidents approach recently started throughout the company.
"Productivity does not trump safety," Harvey stated, recalling the impetus behind the new approach. "The better we are at the technology, the safer the mine will be, but there is a behavioral side as well." He went on to describe Consol's new policy of empowering employees at all levels to cease activity when an unsafe situation is observed or encountered, without fear of repercussions. "They have my support," he said of employees who report unsafe conditions or behaviors, and any repercussions will be investigated. A new zero-accident-based training program is also part of the initiative.
Echoing Harvey's belief in a top-down approach to safety was Richard Stickler, assistant secretary of labor at MSHA. "We at MSHA are serious about improving mine safety and will use every available tool to do that," Stickler said. "Miners deserve nothing less." He went on to discuss changes that MSHA has instituted recently to improve mine safety, including increasing the number of on-site visits during which inspectors create awareness of risks and encourage operators to follow safety procedures.
Other recent MSHA initiatives include beefed-up employee training on new ground-control software, posting on the Web site a list of best practices for deep-cut mining, re-examining ground control plans and establishing an Office of Accountability.
Recent approval of emergency response plans incoal mines has resulted in reduced response times, Stickler reported, and a new emphasis on enforcement has increased the number of safety violation penalties to 140,000 per year.
Panel discussions on advances in communications and tracking technologies by officials from MSHA and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) revealed a number of new technologies undergoing evaluation and some already approved, including MineTracer, a wireless system designed specifically for use in underground mines. Recently approved by MSHA, MineTracer was among a group of technologies on display by vendors at the symposium.
"It's a new age for communications and tracking in mines," said panelist David Chirdon of MSHA. "In two years you won't be able to recognize the environment in terms of what you will be able to do in communications and tracking."
Attending the symposium from start to finish was Wendy Black, whose husband, Dale, was one of three rescuers killed at Crandall Canyon. Speaking of the number of leaders present for the talks, she said, "Wheeling has done an excellent job of getting everyone here. If we can save just one life as a result, it will have made a difference." McAteer summed up the conference with these words, "We will not tolerate accidents. We need to be able to go underground, on the surface, and mine minerals safely, and then bring those miners home."
The International Mining Health and Safety Symposium is coordinated by Wheeling Jesuit University's National Technology Transfer Center and the Utah Labor Commission, and it is sponsored by MSHA, NIOSH, the United Mine Workers of America, The State of Utah, the Utah Labor Commission and the Utah Mining Association.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
At the recent commission meeting, Delena Fish of the Division of Workforce Services gave her quarterly update to the commissioners. "Our fiscal year runs from July 1-June 30 each year. All of the reports and statistics are on our Web site for review. We have taken on 100 cases from the St. George office and the St. George office is doing the interviews. This helps keep jobs in Emery County. Last year in this region, we lost 40 positions," said Fish.
"We have also begun on-line applications recently, a program which we are piloting for the State. The entire state will begin with on-line applications in January 2008. Also, this partnering with other offices is a good thing. We can do some of the work for the offices that have a big caseload," stated Fish.
Fish told of the Healthy Family Coalition, in which many state agencies in the two county area came together and presented the Family Night Out at Emery High School. She said this was a great first try and they will continue to do this program. Another project the DWS is involved with is the Castle Valley Economic Summit, which was presented this year in the new Carbon County Expo building.
The DWS partnered with these same agencies and did a free dental clinic in Castle Dale. The clinic provided the opportunity for anyone in the county without dental insurance to get needed dental work. "It was a great success and we plan to do this every year. We are also trying to plan a dental clinic for Green River," Fish said.
Fish said that unemployment rates are up slightly in Emery and Carbon counties due to the layoffs at the Murray Energy owned mines. Most of the Crandall Canyon miners who were displaced have been reassigned to other mines. "One big difference in unemployment procedure now is that vehicles are an exempt asset. Most people are eligible now to apply after their sick leave and severance has been used," said Fish.
She said that with the way Murray Energy worded the layoffs as temporary, the DWS cannot help those people, but Murray has plans to call the miners back within the next few months.
Another issue which was discussed at commission meeting was the lack of Christmas decorations on the courthouse. "We have just repaired the courthouse roof to the tune of $80,000," said Commissioner Gary Kofford. "Maybe I'm a Scrooge, but we removed all the anchors and electric cords to do the repairs. Now the roof is very slick and dangerous for employees. I just don't want to do any damage to the newly repaired roof."
The discussion turned to ways to decorate the building without doing any damage to the roof. It was decided to look into the matter.
Ray Petersen of the Emery County Public Lands Council reported about several county roads. For a number of years, the county has been maintaining these roads at the request of the Bureau of Land Management, and the BLM recently offered the rights of way to Emery County. The application process was begun and the application is now final on the following roads: Turtle Canyon; the Turtle Canyon extension, Humbug, the Wedge extension east; Fuller's Bottom; North Salt Wash; Gillis Ranch (the Frenchman); Horse Bench; Cedar Mountain near Mussentuchit Road; Justensen Flat, Kimball Draw; Justensen Flat past Copper Globe, Rod's Valley; the state pond road; the North stub of Poison Springs; and the Reed Nielson home base loop off I-70.
"We will be applying for Title 5 which is allowed by FLPMA. If approved, these roads will become part of the Emery County B road system. We will in the future receive funding for maintenance if approved," said Petersen.
Ken Brown and Mark Walsh of the Western Counties Alliance, were on hand to give a presentation of the function of their group. They said they watch public land issues for those counties that belong to the Alliance.
"We have made strides, along with other groups," said Brown. "Our purpose is to assist counties, along with industry, to bring resolution to land issues. We coalesce with other counties in other western states for public land issues. We focus our attention more specifically on helping our members through the process." He stated that membership dues into this alliance are $7,500 per year.

An Arapahoe County building inspector has been arrested on suspicion of burglary and theft. Lambert Leon Iringan, 65, is being held at the Arapahoe County jail on $200,000 bond.
Iringan, a Centennial resident and a county employee since 1998, was taken into custody Sept. 13 in connection with an incident the previous day. He is suspected of unlawfully entering the home, then the bedroom, of an occupied residence in unincorporated Arapahoe County, according to a sheriff's office news release.
A woman told the sheriff's office that a man entered her bedroom, which was dark, while she was in bed at around 8:30 a.m. Sept. 12, walked to her dressers and began opening drawers. As the suspect removed an article of clothing from a drawer, she announced her presence, authorities were told. The suspect, later identified as Iringan, ran from the room.
The victim told Arapahoe County sheriff's investigators she was having her basement remodeled and that the contractor for the project was scheduled to meet with a county building inspector the morning of Sept. 12.
The county has placed Iringan on paid administrative leave, pending the result of the investigation. He faces a charge of second-degree burglary, a felony, as well as a misdemeanor theft charge.

Skip to comments.Observe and Serve: RESOLVE to SAVE the U.S.A.
Posted on 01/06/2013 2:46:50 PM PST by Lazamataz
It is clear to any man or woman of honor, that America has fallen from the mortal pantheon of Great Nations. We have, as a people, dwindled into a selfish and self-seeking lot, whose primary focus vacillates between maintaining our grasp of pop-culture, and making sure our prodigious guts are filled. It was not always thus: There was a time when we embraced God; when we would reach out to our fellow man in charity; when we would help nations in distress.
Now, as we slide to socialism and communism, where the State enforces a 'charity of poverty', as opposed to the charity we could well afford from our excess and profit, it seems more and more each of us looks to what little we can personally get. What, we ask ourselves, can our country do for us? Not too long ago, John F Kennedy turned that question on its head, and challenged us to ask ourselves what we can do for our country,
The taking class has been filled with the ranks of those who have always been takers, but I increasingly observe that it appears the taking class seems to be filling, also, with otherwise honorable men and women. They seemingly fall into despair as the nation drifts ever-left, and they begin to wonder if they should accept the Soma -- the poison of government entitlement.
It is human to want to take the easy way out. The easy way can consist of telling the lie, taking the shortcut, accepting the handout, not being your very best at all times.
No. Do not succumb to this.
Rise above the base. Rise above the profane. Raise the bar to a new standard.
Serve as an example for others to follow. Demonstrate standards that are forgotten. Teach your children about excellence in their writings and readings, and to maintain a clarity of thought. Reject the banal and the tepid misinformation of so-called Mainstream Media. Stand with pride in every manner of your affairs. Dress well when attending church. Say your prayers of thanks every time you eat. Always act with ethics, no matter how you may be tempted to do otherwise.
Maintain your body with regular workouts. Maintain your mind by immersing yourself in only the finest and most wholesome, thought-provoking literature. Interest your children in great literature by speaking about it reverently and piquing their interest. Find like-minded people and share your thoughts and discoveries, that the reach of the ideas may be greater.
Read the original words of the Founding Fathers, so you can know what they intended this nation to be. Learn the Constitution and all the related documents produced at the time. Be able to refute the lies of a tyranny-favoring, lazy Administration.
Be moral at all times. Look to God for answers on your daily choices. Pray every morning that He might guide you, and help you to stop looking to selfish and self-seeking follies, and instead to be a servant that can help us restore the standards of Godly and righteous behavior we have long-ago abandoned.
Be pillars. Be the best you can be. Be an example for others to look to in awe, and perhaps to decide to emulate.
Live a life of excellence. It is how to save our country.
Your comment served as fodder for this Free Republic editorial. I even borrowed some of your words. Thank you.
Tell me if you agree with me.
Excellent writing.
Well done and well met, bro.
I do my best to live honorably and install that ethos in my three sons.
It is disheartening to see so many others, some in my own extended family, give in to their realization that, in the current social climate, playing by the rules is for suckers.
It's nice to have someplace to come to read from like-minded folks.
install = instill (facepalm)
I'm actually writing this to myself, as much as writing to anyone else. :)
Laz, you just inspired me. My adult daughter about to head back to school just read this too, and felt the same. That attitude is what we need in this country now. Thanks.
Awesome. Thank you!
I can't imagine any thinking conservative who could disagree with your essay, Laz.
Making it reality is not for the faint of heart, I fear, as we sink slowly into the ooze of socialism. But, making it a reality should not be taken as a futile endeavor.
Righting this ship will take bold action by many. Let's start here, with your words.
Thank you.
A better outcome, I could never hope for.
Absolutely the best thing you have written.
Maybe there is hope for you yet...
Whoa. Easy there with the crazy talk. ;)
Joanie, look at this piece of Laz.
As shineing a piece of rhetoric as one could
ask for in this troubled time.
It still drips with inspiration for those who can see the condensation.
...wait a minute, I found it. It slipped off the desk and fell behind the chair.
Did you just write "Piffle" at me? ;)
My sister observed about her eldest son, a 26 year old who's still working part time as a barista at Starbucks while he "takes meetings" with potential investors in his silly, shallow movie script, that he spent 3 years in California, living with a bunch of friends who "see nothing wrong with going on unemployment".
We are in desperate need of people who meet the criteria Laz describes. I wonder how to go about motivating bright but lazy minds to actually READ the foundational documents of faith and nation. Steve Curtis Chapman described it a decade or more ago as "playing Gameboy [while] sittin' in the middle of the Grand Canyon". CS Lewis talked about a little boy sitting making mud pies in a slum because he can't imagine what is meant by a holiday at the shore.
There must be a way. I pledge to seek it and share my suggestions here on FR - they may not be much, but perhaps they'll spark a mind brighter than mine.
"Lord, heal our land." My regards and my respect, gentlemen.
BTTT's are slippery little suckahs.
No it's not. It's animal-like. Humans aspire to better things. That said, your piece is spot on, because I don't think the takers/looters are human. They lack a lot of other human characteristics as well, such as compassion and conscience.
Series, excellent piece, these are the words our
President should be speaking but what we get is
class division, envy, and hate.
Any acolades I might offer would be poor in comparison.
Very impressed.
Hopefully, my essay above will thoroughly confuse and disturb you. :)
Excellent advice....couldn't agree more.
"install = instill (facepalm)"
Actually, "install" makes sense when you think about it.
Thank you sir. If you see fit, spread these words on venues you may have: Facebook, et. al.
Amen brother!
Do all of these things in humility, and serve the forgotten among us with love.
"Actually, install makes sense when you think about it."
Right. Some people may be inclined to resist the instilling and need to have something "installed" with a bit more forceful persuasion.
You're gonna have to rise above "I'd Hit Hit" first, bud.
Morals are the core of a society. More laws or taxes won't help. Before we can elect great leaders we have to raise them.
I agree completely with tet68 - couldn't have said it better myself. Awesome work, Laz.
In fact, I'm gonna hit every single point in this essay.
"Ping for later." I'm bookmarking this thread so I can find it again later.
I know bro. I was just funnin'.
Good Job Laz!
Happy New Year!
Bookmark for reflection.
Great post Laz. I regularly pray that the Lord would have mercy on America and remove the evil that He has so rightly afflicted us with in the person of Obama and his minions, and replace them with His called out holy ones to serve our nation.
Good words, Laz.
Nicely done. Thank you, Laz.
Sure Laz. Anything you say.
Thank you for the wake up call. This morning's Sundays School lesson was Matthew 5:12-16. I take your comments to heart, and this is how I will be a light to the world.
Most excellent Sir!

AK Steel to build large-diameter tube mill
AK Steel, Middletown, Ohio, has invested $8.5 million at its wholly owned subsidiary, AK Tube LLC, to produce large-diameter stainless tubing that will assist heavy-truck manufacturers in meeting new standards for diesel emissions. The company said the investment includes a resistance weld tube mill and associated equipment capable of producing the tubing.
The new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, that go into effect Jan. 1, 2007, are designed to lower particulate matter and hydrocarbon emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines. Due to the significantly higher exhaust temperatures that will result from the new emission designs, diesel engine manufacturers have specified large-diameter stainless tubing for many of the exhaust system components.
Completion of the mill is expected in mid-2006.

Canadians Redmann and Saxton eliminated in main draw at World Tour
SHANGHAI – After a strong performance in qualifying on Tuesday, Christian Redmann of Toronto and Ben Saxton of Calgary bowed out in first round action on Wednesday at a stop on the FIVB World Tour circuit in beach volleyball.
The Canadian pair provided a tough opposition to fourth-seeds Matthew Fuerbringer and Nicholas Lucena of the U.S., who eventually won the match 21-17, 17-21, 15-11.
Redmann and Saxton still had a chance to advance through the loser's bracket but fell to Santos Barbosa Thiago and Marques Silva Harley of the powerful Brazilian squad 21-13, 21-19. The Canadians advanced to the main draw with two straight set wins in qualifying on Tuesday.
Josh Binstock and Richard Van Huizen, both of Toronto as well as Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta.,(in photo) were eliminated in the third and final round of qualifying. Maverick Hatch of Comox and Sam Schachter of Toronto fell in the second round of qualifying.
In women's qualifying on Wednesday, Kristina Valjas of Toronto and Caleigh Whitaker of Sharon, Ont., were eliminated in the third and final round, Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney, both of Toronto, in the second and Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., in the first.

Super Cute! Runs Very Large
"This shoe is super cute on! When I purchased them I heard they run large so I ordered a size smaller. I am typically always an 8.5 and ordered an 8. However, I probably should get a 7.5 but I was able to adjust them with the shoe lace to make them tighter. I think they are much bigger in the ankle section then other booties but they also run a little wide, anyone who is considering purchasing these should think about getting them one size down. But they are super cute!!!"

On September 25, 2010, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago reopened after a devastating fire two years ago. With great joy and pride, the Chinese American Museum, the Mayor's Office, and the Consul General of China honored a core group of Field Museum staff from Anthropology and ECCo along with others from the Chicago museum community as well as Chicago firefighters who battled the blaze. Field Museum staff were central in helping the Chinese American Museum with fire cleanup and care of the surviving artifacts. ECCo has had a long-standing relationship with the museum, first through the Cultural Connections program and then through the Chicago Cultural Alliance.

Saturday of the 7th Week
The Gospel according to Luke 9:1-6
At that time, Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal. And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them." And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Celebrating 6th Anniversary! Six years ago, I started this SQLAuthority.com blog. There are so many things I want to say today – it is very very emotional. Instead of writing long I am including few images and cartoons.
Last month we have also reached 50 Million Total Views on this blog. Here is the screen captured at that time.
In 6 years there are total 2192 days (including 2 leap year day) and my total blog post count is 2300. That means I have been blogging more than 1 blog post every day. Here is the quick glance to all the numbers.
Here you can find the list of all the 2300 blog posts.
I am very glad to see my many of the friends stay in USA, India, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia in that order. You can see the geographic distribution of the support I receive on the blog from worldwide.
On this day I would like to call out one 2 individuals who contribute equally or more in my success. When I started this blog 6 years ago, I was walking alone. After 2 years my wife Nupur joined my journey and 3 years later my daughter Shaivi joined the journey. Here is the example of the common conversation among us almost every day –
Shaivi: Daddy, play catch-catch.
Nupur: Shaivi, daddy will play with you once he finishes tomorrow's blog.
Shaivi: Daddy, Finish Blog. Okey. I play catch-catch (alone).

A colorful statue nicknamed the Pizza Bandito that sat in the grass just outside Lone Tree's Mellow Mushroom restaurant has vanished.
Although Pizza Bandito is described by the Mellow Mushroom as a "reformed fast-food felon" and bears a striking resemblance to the McDonald's Hamburglar, he was the new restaurant's mascot.
Restaurant employees said he was last seen the evening of Sept. 7.
"Pizza Bandito was not only a mascot, he was a friend," kitchen manager Matt Danley said in a press release issued by the Mellow Mushroom. "I don't mean to sound extra-cheesy but if patrons notice that our pizza is a little salty, it's just because we can't stop crying."
The 40-pound, hollow statue was bolted to the ground overlooking nearby Park Meadows Drive.
"The Pizza Bandito was last seen wearing what can only be described as a 'riot of color'," according to the press release. "He also had a flat-brimmed Porkpie-style hat and bandit mask. He is 42 but is often mistaken for mascots half that age."
Lone Tree police are trying to obtain surveillance footage from the adjacent KeyBank ATM to see if it includes video of the theft.
Restaurant employees estimate the statue's value at about $3,000.
The Mellow Mushroom is offering one free small pizza a month for a year to anyone who provides a tip leading to the Pizza Bandito's return. To report information, call the Lone Tree Police Department at 303-339-8150.

New Year's Beauty Resolutions: Editor's Edition
If your teeth aren't white, you could be tacking an additional decade on to your appearance. "It doesn't make sense to dye your hair, get Botox, and use antiaging serums if you're not whitening your teeth," says Nancy Rosen, a cosmetic and restorative dentist in New York. The good news is "whitening your teeth is one of the fastest ways to turn back the clock." For the quickest option, ask your dentist about Zoom! Advance, a one-hour in-office treatment that can lighten your teeth by three to 10 shades. Prefer at-home options? Here are the shortcuts to a brighter smile.
Pictured: Karlie Kloss shows off her pearly whites at Jason Wu
You already know what's staining your teeth: your latte, red wine, berries, to name a few. We're not saying to give them up, but you do have to take precautions to prevent discoloration. For the afternoons you can't resist that Diet Coke fix, use a straw to keep staining under control. Another way dentists advise controlling stains is to snack on crunchy fruits and veggies. Apples, celery, pears, cucumbers, and carrots are all "high in water content, which stimulates salivary production to help clean your mouth," explains Irwin Smigel, a cosmetic dentist in New York. Your waistline will thank you, and so will your teeth. Already a fan of chewing gum? After a glass of red wine, pop a piece of Supersmile All Natural Professional Whitening Gum ($5 for a pack of 12). Loaded with calcium peroxide, the gum works between meals, fighting plaque, discoloration, and cavities, and it's especially helpful after having carbs or highly acidic food and drinks (like white wine), which can cause enamel to wear down, making teeth more susceptible to stains from anything you consume afterward, Smigel says.
