ATHENS – Georgia coach Mark Richt remains vague about the "NCAA issue" that kept Kolton Houston sidelined all last season. But as evidenced by Houston's regular presence with the No. 1 offense at left guard during spring camp, the Bulldogs obviously expect to have him for the coming season.
"We anticipate him to be able to play, but it's not set in stone yet on him," Richt said.
Houston is listed as a redshirt sophomore in Georgia's spring media guide, even though he has not played since he has been with the Bulldogs. The Buford native was redshirted in 2010, his initial year of eligibility, then appeared to be a rising star in 2011. He was listed as backup to Kenarious Gates at left guard heading into preseason camp.
But by the time the season began, Houston had dropped off the depth chart. Richt has never referred to Houston as "suspended," only that he was ineligible due to "an NCAA issue." Requests to interview Houston have been denied since last fall.
The NCAA can suspend student-athletes from competition for one full year for a positive test of one of its random screens for banned substances. But The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Freedom of Information requests for documentation regarding the status of Houston's NCAA eligibility have been denied by UGA citing federal laws that protect students' academic and medical privacy.
Richt remained evasive when pressed on the issue again Thursday.
"What did we say it was?," he asked rhetorically. "I forgot how much I've said so far."
Reminded by another reporter of his standard reply, Richt laughed. "Yeah, NCAA issue. That's what it is, an NCAA issue."
Nevertheless, it's clear the Bulldogs are getting Houston ready to play. During the short times the media is allowed to view practice, Houston has been lining up at left guard with the No. 1 unit.
Junior Dallas Lee, who is also a Buford product, started seven games at guard (and five at left guard) before breaking a leg against Florida this past season. He seems to be working more with the No. 2 unit.
"[Offensive line] Coach [Will] Friend is rotating the lineup around pretty good, so I wouldn't say Kolton [Houston] is ahead of Dallas [Lee] right now," Richt said. "On any given day or in any given rotation he may be in there and Dallas may be with the 2s. But they're moving back and forth."
So far, Richt likes what he's seeing out of both players. The 6-foot-5, 291-pound Houston was an 2009 AJC Super 11 selection and an Under Armour High School All-American coming out of Buford High.
"We think Kolton can play," Richt said. "He's got a ways to go but, again, and I say this to the team a lot, I'm not that worried about who the starters are. I'm worried about how many guys are ready to play football for Georgia in the Southeastern Conference. That's what I'm hoping these guys can prove to us. All those guys are fighting for that.
"Do I think Dallas can? Yes. Do I think Kolton can? Yes. We're working our way through some of these other guys. Gates has already done it. Chris Burnette has already done it. So we've got guys that can do it."
The Bulldogs are having to replace three starters off last season's offensive line: left tackle Cordy Glenn, center Ben Jones and right tackle Justin Anderson. Currently the first five are Gates at left tackle, Houston, sophomore David Andrews at center, Burnette at right guard and sophomore Watts Dantzler at right tackle.
"We have high hopes for Andrews," Richt said. "Right now he's the No. 1 center. If he can get it done that will help us a lot, free up a guy like Burnette to stay at the guard position. We wouldn't have David line up at anything but center at this point. But he's doing a great job as far as knowing what to do and working on communicating and everything that has to be done. Next to the quarterback he's got the toughest job there is as far as recognizing things, communicating things and doing it really fast."
The second unit has JUCO transfer Mark Beard at left tackle, Lee at guard, walkon Hugh Williams at center, Hunter Long at right guard and Austin Long at right tackle.
OTHER NOTES: Richt said quarterback Michael Tamburo of Suwanee has decided to give up football. The junior out of North Gwinnett injured a knee but will remain with the team in a "student assistant" capacity. . . . Junior wide receiver Rantavious Wooten was unable to practice Thursday due to a pulled leg muscle. . . . The Bulldogs began their "competitive phase" of camp, as Richt called it, with their first contact practice of the spring. The coaches kept score of drills that pitted the offense against the defense and "the defense won the day," Richt said.

I humbly say this but I have nice feeling about this team! Heck, I also like our chances against the reptiles for years to come. A 20 year swing would be nice in our favor. Being from Jax it would be nice to see more big trucks sporting the "G" on the front like the days of old. Can I get a witness?
Does anyone have info on Michael Tamburo's exit? I never really heard any reporting on him… Just curious. We have many quality QBs in the stable and more coming.

ESPN's DawgNation By Edward Aschoff March 22, 2012 1:38 p.m.
"Questions arose about Murray's play when the stages got bigger. Murray went 0-4 as a freshman against ranked teams, and in 2011 he beat just two ranked teams. Georgia's first two losses came to ranked opponents (Boise State and South Carolina), and its last two came in the SEC championship game against No. 1 LSU and in the Outback bowl against the 17th-ranked Spartans.
In Murray's last four games, he threw eight touchdowns-to-six interceptions, including four picks in the last two games.
The criticism is justifiable, and Murray is the first to admit it. He knows his demeanor changes in bigger games. The pressure starts to mount and he feels as though he must totally take over each game.

"By doing that, Murray tries to put his entire team on his back. He wants to make that great play every play. Sometimes he loses trust in teammates because he feels as though he has to make sure he's doing everything perfect, rather than right.
But that's wrong, and Murray knows it. He ends up rushing plays, losing concentration and missing easy oppor tunities. For as talented as Murray is fundamentally, he knows he has to a x the Superman persona to take this team further in 2012.
March 22nd, 2012
10:46 pm
"Murray also wants to develop better chemistry with his targets. That began with the extensive 7-on-7 drills and the extra passing sessions, but it will come full circle with more communication and patience in practice. More trust will help Murray realize that he isn't the only player on the field."

I agree with Douglas Dawg. The line wasn't very impressive last year, so I don't see how it's a concern to replace these guys who left. I really like the young guys we have going and believe they'll be much more productive through the 2012 season.

"With arguably the easiest schedule (again) in the SEC, Mark Richt will be expected to take his Dawgs back to Atlanta."
Alabama and LSU both expected to be better than our beloved Dawgs in 2012, as Alabama beat 2 teams who season end are Top 5 teams, and LSU beat 3 teams who season end are Top 5 teams for 2011.
Arkansas figures to be tough, coming off their Top 5 season end rank, and return the Top Quarterback in The SEC according to SEC Coaches.
2010 Auburn beat 3 teams who season end are Top 10 teams.
2009 Alabama beat 2 teams who season end are Top 10 teams.
2008 Florida beat 2 teams who season end are Top 6 teams.
2007 LSU beat 2 teams who season end are Top 10 teams.
Trolls ? No, what we have around here are DISNEYdawgs.com who have to LIE about what we've done this Current 4-Year Period, to try to make it sound as if NO ONE CAN BEAT teams who end season are Top 10 teams. Sure they can. Just not us. This is not helping UGA to say that there is some LAME EXCUSE FOR IT. In fact, you are hurting UGA, because Heaven Knows, EVERYONE KNOWS we cannot beat the TOP TEAMS. Your LIES notwithstanding.
Some of us, actually expect MORE.
Now, what was it you were saying about teams who season end are Top 10 teams as to why we haven't beat ANY teams Top 10 Season End – since beating # 9 Auburn in 2006 a year in which we Lost 4 games including to 4-8 Vandie ?

Here is yet another example of how SEASON END rank for Mark Richt are kept for all 11 years to-date :
The facts remain :

(3) Site after Site after Site keep stats season end top 10

"If you want to keep up with the Dogs, minus the fake UGA fans spewing long diatribes about Murray and other Dog players, you might want to check out LeatherHelmetBlog."
I read that blog every day. He gets 3 replies in a day to his blog post. We get sometimes 1,000 posts to a blog here at the AJ-C. Regularly, hundreds of posts. And, ecdawg does not CENSOR posts. The facts are his blog is a good blog. But, your statements about it, are absolutely mis-leading. No blog gets the number of significant posted replies that the AJ-C gets for all the Bulldogs' Blogs, and if you need me to point out this Salient Fact, so be it "Dog fans" even if you have NEVER POSTED TO THIS BLOG.
Everyone has their right to their opinion in America, whether you like it or not. What your problem seems to be is that you fall into this group who feel that ONLY YOU CAN CRITICIZE our football program.
I am firmly convinced we go 13-1 this up-coming 2012 season. Of course, I said 12-2 for 2011. So, I am slightly over-optimistic after reading every blog and every reply at every blog.
Instead of telling everyone else that they cannot have their opinion, but only you and using a FAKE HANDLE to do so – so that we cannot go back and show you your own CONTRADICTORY posts on the same topic where you too said EXACTLY THE SAME CRITICISM YOURSELF under your normal handle here, try formulating a reply which is NOT EXCUSES, or statements by you that NO ONE IS WELCOMED TO THEIR OPINION, but you.
If you add up the replies to Bulldogs' Blogs, all of them, combined they do not add up to the total replies on AJ-C blogs. Try reading them, you might learn something.

I have been optomistic about our Oline when alot of you were wetting the bed about losing three from last year. I agree 100% with whomever said we could do alot better this year with who we have rather than who we had last year………….These young Dawgs, especially ones like Kolton Houston have been chomping at the bit for some time now to get on the field and pop someone…………We have a pretty impressive stable of linemen, not to mention a few dinged-up waiting their turn when recovered…………I remember the days pretty clearly when I played, and I believe with an infusion of new blood sometimes is the key to creating the chemistry needed to get on a serious streak. One more year for Murray, a whole boat-load of backs, great recievers, a young agressive Oline…………….not to mention what will surely be one of the toughest Defenses in the nation……………..Heck-yea !!………..Bring-on 2012 and trolls be damned………….The University Of Georgia Bulldogs are going to be stout this year, I just hope we are stout enough to take that next step, putting some distance between us and Florida, South Carolina in the East………and gain some ground on Alabama, LSU in the West…………….Folks you never know, we win the East, we might be strong enough to win that game in the Ga. Dome in December and go on to the National Championship game…………….GO DOGS !!!! GATA !!!!

No. Michigan State was ranked # 17 at game time. At season end, Michigan State was NOT in the Top 10. http://www.nationalchamps.net/NCAA/past_AP_Polls.htm
UGA season end the # 5 team in The SEC at # 19. We beat two of the 48-teams who ended in the season with 8-Win Season, none of the 36 who ended season 9-Win Seasons and none of the 27 teams who end season 10-Win Seasons.
We were fortunate to be ranked the # 5 Best Team in The SEC.
We had NO BUSINESS being discussed by the likes of you as a Top 10 team.

"It's good to have a reminder that for every errant miscreant, we have a host of young men working to live up to their commitments to the team and the university."
"I thought this was true when I said it."
Absolutely correct. We have today now 78 on Scholarship and have now 27 who have been arrested and kicked-off, suspended and transferred, arrested and transferred, or just plain did not live up to their commitments to the team and the university. Therefore, you are totally correct that nearly 3 to 1, we have a HOST of young men working to live up to their commitments whom Mark Richt gave Scholarships to for this up-coming 2012 season remaining steadfast to their commitment to the team and university.

"13-1 SEC East Champions 2012, Using a team's "season end" ranking, as you put it, is a tired tactic used by people who try to manipulate statistics. Obviously a team that end the year in the top 10 only lost 1 or 2 games along the way, so everyone's record against them is going to be reflected poorly. The ONLY statistic that goes in the books (and always has) is the ranking of an opponent at the time the game is played. For example, your philosophy doesn't credit UGA's win over Auburn last year as a win versus a Top 25 opponent, because AU didin't end the year in the top 25……however, we all know that Auburn was in the top 25 at the time of the game, so that is what the actual records will show.
Your obvious distaste for Murray, Richt, or the whole program in general is quite obvious to everyone here. Save us the time by not posting your same old tired rants every day."

"I understand the frustration people have with the coaches, but at the end of the day players win and lose ballgames. We had players in positions to make plays to win games this year, and they failed.
It's just way more fun for people to pile on the coaches than the "poor players".
Just so that I am clear here now, first you say that the coaches are NOT RESPONSIBLE for the LOSSES but only just the players are.
Second, you say that
Then, you run in here today and say these teams did NOT beat top 10 teams, yeah they did :
Alabama beat 2 teams Top 5 season end
LSU beat 3 teams Top 5 season end
2010 Auburn beat 3 teams Top 10 season end
2009 Alabama beat 2 teams Top 10 season end
2008 Florida beat 2 teams Top 6 season end
2007 LSU beat 2 teams Top 10 season end

NO. URL Links above to site after site season end top 10.
You just don't like it that Mark Richt is 3-13 vs teams season end top 10 while ALL THESE OTHER TEAMS DO BEAT SEASON END TOP 10 TEAMS, don't they and don't you ?

We were two field goals last year from finishing 12-2 and a top10 finish. Cant' wait to see how Marshall Morgan will do under pressure. With all the rule changes to kick offs there won't be near as many balls run out of the end zone and there will be a lot more that make the end zone.

"Will Aaron Murray FINALLY Win the Big Game in 2012
Posted by ImYourHuckleberry on 3/22/2012 7:17:58 AM
"On the front page of ESPN yesterday they had an interview with Aaron Murray that was conducted by Edward Aschoff. It really was a great article because it probed into the psyche of Murray. It dug deeper into the statistics and showed how Murray has struggled against Top 25 teams. For the record, he is 2-8 against Top 25 teams in two years. For UGA to finally be able to break through and get Coach Richt his 1st BCS Title as a head coach that will obviously need to change. Here is the most important quote from the interview that Murray had about his struggles:
"He knows his demeanor changes in bigger games. The pressure starts to mount and he feels as though he must totally take over each game. By doing that, Murray tries to put his entire team on his back. He wants to make that great play every play. Sometimes he loses trust in teammates because he feels as though he has to make sure he's doing everything perfect, rather than right."
If he did not realize that he tried to take too much responsibility on his own shoulders then he would continue to make all of the same mistakes in 2012. UGA is going to have one of the best group of tailbacks in the country if they all stay healthy and he needs to lean on them. If you can dump the ball off to an Isaiah Crowell or Keith Marshall in the flat instead of forcing the ball downfield they will make you look really good. Also having great tight ends like Arthur Lynch and Jay Rome to catch short passes and bull their way through defenders for solid gains. The receivers are also talented enough to take a quick slant and break a tackle and take it to the house.
Simply put, Murray does not need to make a big play and do the spectacular on every play. He just needs to take what the defense gives him and trust that he has the athletes to make plays. If he does that his interception number will go down at below 10 and his completion percentage will get up. That would result in a lot less 3 and outs and a lot fewer quick switches for the UGA defense.
If Aaron keeps this mentality he WILL win the big games and UGA will be better for it. Expect his record to turn around against Top 25 teams and Aaron Murray WILL NOT be the reason UGA why UGA loses a big game!"

Yeah, but we weren't 12-2, were we 7576DAWG ?
I wish we had been, but I am not WISHING AWAY the losses to South Carolina and to Michigan State, which BOTH were a DIRECT RESULT of Aaron Murray – according to
And, we still were blown out by LSU 10-42 when again Aaron Murray threw that game away, as well.
And, I don't think anyone thought that Boise State's QB was worse than Aaron Murray either in that blow out.
Fact is Aaron Murray was not the better QB against any of the 4 teams who season end Top 25.
That runs his string to 11 games now where the other QB was SUPERIOR to Aaron Murray.
The way the South Carolina and Michigan State games unfolded 7576DAWG, there was no one on any blog who wrote the game was LOST other than by AARON MURRAY.

Trinton Sturdivant Started 21 games for us at Offensive Tackle, and he is the # 4 senior gone from our OL after the 2011 season, a season in which Trinton Sturdivant was named SEC Academic Honor Roll and Recipient of the Bill and Jane Young Football Scholarship for 2011.
DGD like Trinton Sturdivant should not be forgotten just because he had an injury in practice and it ended his career, a career again in which he STARTED 21 games at OT for us. He is a member of our 2011 team in high standing, on Scholarship for 2011, and a senior OL – gone after the season.
4 SENIOR OL gone after 2011 – ALL STARTERS.

the best qb at uga is hudson mason,but again we have a coach who is way to loyal to coaches and now players such as murray.
it is going to be interesting to see how well Zack Mittenberg plays at LSU since he will be the starting there this year.
My feeling is zack will be in the NFL before Murray's does.In fact,I will say Murray will never play in the NFL.
Hudson Mason has a far better arm and more accurate than Murray ,but we will never see it since
Coach Richt will not open up the competition,this is similiar to not facing the fact that certain coaches did not either until the dawg nation finally were heard when willie was fired as defensive head coach.
IT takes richt so long to make a decision both on players and coaches that is why alabama wins national titles and uga continues to make excuses for losing big games!j

Houston must be a war criminal to be suspended by the NCAA for a year. After all, the kid from Alabama got two games for taking a trip from an agent, the kids from Ohio State get five for illegal benefits and lying to the NCAA (but you can play in the bowl! We're sorry we have to do this! If you hadn't be caught by the media, we would've ignored it, we swear!)
The NCAA is arbitrary and inconsistent. It is time they were abolished.

It could be a number of things that both the student and school do not want to discuss for personal reasons. Possibly he was taking a drug for ADHD but that particular drug is banned so he had to change his meds. The NCAA may have chosen to monitor his progress for one year.
As another poster stated, if Houston was suspended for PEDs, his Spring status should be listed as Sophomore. Kolton is still listed as a Redshirt Freshman on georgiadogs.com, but I have heard that in the 2012 Spring Football Media Guide he is listed as a Redshirt Sophomore, which means he wasn't formally suspended.

They have goals in mind different than that of others. Killing demons is all fine and well, but that's not stopping the naga from trying to drain Zangarmarsh completely dry.
When it comes to 'classic' dungeons being run for any and all city reputation (Orgrimmar, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff, Darnassus, etc), that's because you're killing threats that affect *everyone* on Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.
Besides, the tabards from the Outland factions are in and of themselves part of the rewards for gaining exhalted reputation with those factions.

+ sketches about some projects I have at the moment.
my van Helsing film sequenz project
my carneval project poster
woha.... ages passed since the last entry
here we go again
Venossaur looks amazing man! haha
Personally I'd say a few pieces have some blurry parts which were overmade. Just keep an eye on it and tro to raise you contrast in the edges, specially when it comes to cylindric forms such as venossaur vines and dragon tail.
I also really appreciated your keenness to tridimensional modeling. Ever tried Sculptris or ZBrush!? I think it would give you some great momments of joy (and some of fairly pain) hehe
Keep it coming!
Andrew: oh thanks I also like venosaurus most so far.
yeah. I know Zbrush. will learn is soon, I hope. have to try this. Think this will be very funny creating sth in 3D with that programm. Looking forward to this!
have here some new stuff what I did lately:
This was a spontanious project for only one hour. It was interesting what comes out ^^

@ Psychobuddy: hey man !!! Thanks so much
don´t worry, I won´t stop ^^
moin moin!
I´m back ^^
yeah, there was much uni stuff I had to do the last weeks/month. but I didn´t stop drawing!
here are some new concept of my current project:
Wa-hey, a One Piece fan.
There is an impressive amount of variety in where you are doing, you seem to have a good balance in skill between drawing all these creatures, vehicles and environments, and plenty of imagination to back it up. Scrolling down, your painting definitely seems to be improving too; you're pushing away that blurry feel some of your older pictures had and it is all looking much crisper. And your use of perspective has really grown too. It might be helpful to have a look at how different materials behave under light - for instance, how the highlights on metal occur, how bright they are, how does it vary for new/old items, the colours, etc. to crank up the believably factor of a picture. Keep up the good work!

Testimony of the
American Society of Safety Engineers
Before the United States Senate
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions
"The State of Mine Safety and Health"
Chairman Enzi and Members of the Committee:
My name is Mike Neason, and I am a fifth generation miner and a Certified Mine Safety Professional. I manage safety and health for the mining operations of Hanson Aggregates in Kentucky and surrounding states – both surface and underground mining. I come before you today in my role as Administrator of the Mining Practice Specialty of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE). ASSE represents more than 30,000 safety, health and environmental (SH+E) professionals dedicated to seeing that every worker has the best possible opportunity to go home healthy and safe from their jobs each day. The Society is the largest professional safety organization and, founded in 1911, has been in existence the longest.
ASSE's Mining Practice Specialty – one of thirteen ASSE practice specialties covering the spectrum of safety and health professional interests – currently has more than 350 members. My colleague members are men and women on the front lines of managing mine safety and health in coal and metal/nonmetal mines, surface and underground, or providing training, auditing and consultation services to the mining industry.
We commend the Committee for looking critically at mine safety and health issues today, both in terms of what can be done to prevent another disaster such as the Sago mine catastrophe two months ago and also to discern what can be done to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). ASSE shares your concern. We have established a task force to review mining emergency preparedness and communications in response to the recent tragedies. Through ASSE's alliance with MSHA as well as our partnership with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), we intend to help encourage an effective, proactive federal response to the concern many share over this nation's commitment to mine safety and health.
For today's purposes, ASSE reviewed the two pending Mine Act reform measures, S. 2231, introduced by Senator Robert Byrd on February 1, 2006, and S. 2308, introduced by Senator Arlen Specter on February 16, 2006. Our comments here are initial reactions largely to the ideas contained in these bills. Following the work of ASSE's task force examining these same issues, ASSE will be able to provide the Committee with a more elaborate response, which we look forward to doing.
As a preliminary matter, it is important to recognize that, while the loss of life in the Sago disaster was unacceptable to mine safety and health professionals dedicated to doing everything we can to make mines safe and healthy places to work, it is far from indicative of the overall state of mine safety and health in the United States. To the contrary, mine safety has drastically improved over recent decades, and last year marked the lowest number of fatalities in U.S. history, capping a general trend of declining fatalities, injuries and illnesses. The successes should not be overlooked based on this failure.
These strides were achieved, first, through tough and effective enforcement of this nation's mining laws. It should not be overlooked, however, that efforts of government, state and private sector initiatives, often working in cooperation, also played a necessary role. Because of the commitment from each of these sectors, technology is getting better and better at engineering hazards out of mining and removing miners from exposure to hazards. We are now seeing greater computerization of mining methods having a substantial impact on our ability to manage the safety and health risks within mines, with a substantial promise that even better protections can be achieved.
Many of the technological advances we already have in place were developed through the efforts of dedicated researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which houses the former Bureau of Mines. As we indicated in a recent letter to you and Senator Kennedy, ASSE was extremely disappointed that a NIOSH representative was not permitted by his agency – the Department of Health and Human Services – to participate in last month's roundtable on mine safety technology. NIOSH's Mine Program is already positioned to conduct effective intramural research, and, by expanding its already proactive outreach to academia and private sector resources, to support extramural research and develop pilot programs that can test the viability of new mine safety technology in real-world situations.
With all due respect to Senator Byrd and his fully understandable effort to examine new approaches for protecting miners – especially since the unacceptable price of Sago tragedy is being paid by citizens of his own state – ASSE cannot support legislative proposals, as included in S. 2231, that would create an Office of Technology within MSHA or in any other way diffuse this nation's already limited mining safety and health research. Any duplication of NIOSH's technology transfer and research infrastructure would only spread resources thin and most likely add a needless layer of bureaucracy that would delay the development and implementation of new measures to protect miners.
Significantly, Congress originally tasked NIOSH with performing the research to inform MSHA regulatory decisions in the 1977 Mine Act, in which Section 501 directs NIOSH to "conduct such studies, research, experiments, and demonstrations" necessary, among other things
(T)o improve working conditions and practices in coal or other mines…to prevent accidents and occupational diseases originating in the coal or other mining industry…to develop new or improved methods of recovering persons in coal or other mines after an accident…and to develop new or improved means and methods of communication from the surface to the underground area of a coal or other mine.
The same legislation created MSHA, and the rationale for assigning these responsibilities to NIOSH rather than MSHA was to keep research independent and distinct from regulatory and enforcement influences. The reason to for keeping these functions separate still exists. ASSE could not support creation of a duplicative effort within MSHA. MSHA should have every resource necessary to focus on enforcement and reaching out, not only to NIOSH, but the private sector as well to help ensure that its methods and the expertise of its staff keeps current with technological advances and incorporates ongoing change into its culture. A new commitment to outreach, not a new department, is not needed for that to occur.
If any change is needed, it is the current Administration's commitment to NIOSH. For Fiscal Year 2007, $5 million has been proposed to be taken from NIOSH, this after many of its essential capabilities were taken away in the name of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reorganization. We urge the Senate to reject this reduction in commitment and increase NIOSH's resources so that NIOSH can better fulfill its mandate to conduct mine safety and health research, develop technology and provide training support materials.
With respect to mine safety technology, the Sago disaster has pointed out that gaps exist in protections for underground miners – both coal and metal/nonmetal. Although many mines, such as the ones that I oversee, go beyond compliance with MSHA's mandatory standards, others unfortunately adhere to the bare minimum standards, with the result that lives may be lost due to inadequate respiratory protection and technologically obsolete communication systems.
As indicated at the February 15 Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety hearing, the market makes readily available products that function in the same manner as the one-hour Self-Contained Self-Rescuers (SCSRs) but provide expanded protection from toxic gases that can be created in mine fires or present in gassy mines even without an accident. Promising technologies also exist for locating or communicating with miners underground, such as the text messaging technology currently being tested in approximately 140 mines throughout the world. We agree that redundant communications systems that can demonstrate effectiveness make a great deal of sense.
However, when considering what is and may not be feasible, focus must be placed on post-incident functionality when electrical systems may not be working. We urge both NIOSH and MSHA to investigate this issue thoroughly and to explore the utility of technologies developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, and the fire service industries post-911 for communication with firefighters in emergencies. Although we understand that there may be real promise in current communication advances, the transfer of such technology to the underground mining industry is very much in question. Neither Congress nor MSHA should rush to force solutions by assuming the viability of these products before in-mine tests and research can be conducted and such products become commercially available. At this point in time, there simply is no one-size-fits-all solution to underground mine communication, respiratory protection, or mine rescue, as much as we all would wish it.
Although, as Senator Specter suggests, some mines might easily adopt oxygen stations that provide a four-day supply of clean air for all mines in each working area of a mine, this might not be readily accomplished in some smaller mines such as those in the anthracite sector, or those with low passageways. There may, in the alternative, be other ways of achieving the goal more feasibly in such mines. Until the information is available, such regulations should not be congressionally mandated. While the Mine Act has historically been considered a "technology forcing" statute, there are realistic limits as to what can be achieved. To be truly effective, any action meant to improve safety – whether mines or any workplace – through technology must fully consider whether appropriate "off the shelf" technology is readily available before mandates are put in place.
Congress must also be aware that, in the metal/nonmetal sector, approximately 98 percent of underground mines are classified as "small business entities" under U.S. Small Business Administration criteria. Many coal mines especially are small business enterprises with as few as five employees.
ASSE hopes the Committee will consider this reality and look for creative solutions, such as establishing new tax incentives, giving operators some credit against citation penalties to encourage them to adopt new technology quickly, or making establishing small business loans for the purchase of mine rescue, communications and personal protective equipment. Such measures should help expedite the necessary protection of miners without unnecessarily diminishing the economic viability of these mining businesses, many of which are located in economically deprived areas of our nation.
Both legislative proposals offered by Senators Specter and Byrd would increase significantly penalties for violations of MSHA standards. ASSE fully supports strong enforcement and the role meaningful penalties can play in focusing an employer's attention toward safety and health of its workers.
From the popular reaction to the Sago tragedy, it is apparent that many outside the mining industry may not be aware that MSHA already has more enforcement power than any other federal agency, including: mandatory quarterly inspections of all underground mines; warrantless search authority and automatic right of entry under Section 103(a) of the Mine Act; strict liability enforcement powers; mandatory civil penalties for all citations; and civil penalties that have been increased from $10,000 to $60,000 in the past decade. Under Section 110(c) of the Mine Act, individual agents of management can be personally fined up to $60,000 for actions or omissions that constitute aggravated conduct – a power lacking in the Occupational Safety and Health Act covering every other industry. Moreover, the current Mine Act has felony criminal enforcement provisions of up to five years of incarceration, and, unlike OSHA, no injuries need occur for MSHA to recommend criminal prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice.
However much we would like to think that increases in maximum penalties may be appropriate, in the day-to-day reality of the mining industry that I work in, the heightened penalty levels of $500,000 for high negligence violations (compared with OSHA's $70,000 maximum), the $10,000 minimum penalty for "serious" violations -- especially when compared with OSHA's maximum of $7,000 for similar violations – and the other enhanced penalties and "user fees" suggested in S. 2308 and S. 2231 could very well put the average, well-meaning mine out of business with a single penalty.
Moreover, as drafted, the legislation offering these increases is often ambiguous. For example, "habitual violators" would be subject to a minimum penalty of $20,000 for "significant and substantial" citations. However, the legislation does not define "habitual" and includes no statute of limitations after which a repeated violation would no longer trigger this mandatory minimum. Because MSHA does not "group" violations into a single citation as OSHA commonly does, it is not unusual for a mine to have multiple guarding or equipment violations in a single inspection. If each individual citation were assessed at $20,000 because these triggered the "habitual" provision, most mines could not withstand the penalty burden and continue to operate. This area must be more critically explored before any new categories of penalties are created.
We also want to caution the Committee that some provisions of the proposed bills, though well intended, should be reconsidered following this hearing to ensure that unintended consequences do not result in everyone's understandable eagerness to prevent another Sago from occurring.
For example, provisions that would deny the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (FMSHRC) authority to modify penalties, or requiring abatement action on all citations within 24 hours – have critical due process implications that cannot be overlooked by this Committee if it is to move forward an effective program of reform.
It also appears that, while the technology provisions of the proposed legislation largely concentrate on underground coal mines, the penalty provisions would cover all categories of mines, including surface aggregate operations that do not involve the same level of hazards as do underground operations. Such action appears unwarranted at this time. In particular, Section 7 of Sen. Byrd's bill incorporates the definition of "coal mine" from the 1977 Act, which expands coverage to surface and underground metal/nonmetal mines and to all independent contractors performing any work at any mine, surface or underground Congress' intent with respect to the proposed Senate legislation must be more clearly articulated to prevent inadvertent expansion of the provisions to those outside the underground coal mining sector.
Other suggested provisions, such as a $100,000 minimum fine for failure to notify MSHA of an accident within fifteen minutes, are simply unachievable and may result in unintended consequences in individual situations. In many cases, especially in small mines with few workers, those who would make the call to MSHA must also be involved in immediate rescue activities longer than this time period would allow. Current provisions state "immediately," which the FMSHRC has interpreted this to mean "two hours or less." Moreover, there are eleven categories of accidents where this fifteen-minute notification requirement would apply, as set forth in 30 CFR 50.2(h), so it could very well not be apparent within fifteen minutes that an incident such as a mine fire or a non-fatal injury falls into the immediately-reportable category. Clearly, we all like the response to mine tragedies to be immediate, but fifteen minutes is probably less than can be mandated effectively, especially given the enormity of fine for failure without regard to the impact of the accident. We urge the Committee to work with MSHA, NIOSH and stakeholders to reexamine this provision in order to determine a more meaningful way to ensure emergency response.
With regard to mine rescue teams, Sen. Byrd's legislation would direct all coal mines to have rescue teams consisting of their own employees. If this is to be achieved, the consequences of either closed mines or a market for coal that bears this cost must be understood. Many small mines have too few workers to field a team. This is why MSHA has for many years permitted mines to join together to form area rescue teams of highly trained personnel. This practice has been demonstrated to work effectively over many years and can remain as an effective option.
ASSE commends the Committee for its consideration of these various issues as well as Senators Specter and Byrd for their efforts in defining specific solutions to issues with which we all struggle. This leadership is needed if we are to move forward and help prevent another Sago tragedy. However, we urge the Committee not simply to assume a lack of MSHA enforcement powers or too weak penalties are the root cause of the failures we have seen. Along with an examination of penalties and more stringent requirements, the Committee must consider other factors that may not be readily apparent.
It could be that the most effective solution is that MSHA make better, smarter use of its current powers and target enforcement resources more directly at the proven "bad actors" rather than being required to inspect all mines in exactly the same way, regardless of their compliance history or safety and health performance. It may be appropriate, if the Mine Act is reopened, to provide the agency with more flexibility in terms of these mandatory inspections so it can deploy its inspectors where they are most needed. More effective and not merely more severe enforcement may very well be the answer we all seek. Again, we urge the Committee to work with MSHA, NIOSH and stakeholders, both within industry and organizations like ASSE to help make these determinations. .
ASSE thanks the Committee for including us in your deliberations. We stand prepared to provide further technical assistance through our Mining Practice Specialty as the Committee continues to explore these critical mine safety and health issues. We also pledge our support in working with MSHA and NIOSH as they look for new methodologies to protect miners and to improve existing standards, programs and outreach efforts.

By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The baton was passed from the greatest of Mets to their brilliant new star when Hall of Famer Tom Seaver threw the ceremonial first pitch and Matt Harvey started for the National League at Tuesday's All-Star game.
Seaver became the first Mets pitcher to start the Midsummer Classic when he took the mound in the 1970 game, a year after helping the New Yorkers win their first World Series.
The three-time Cy Young recipient as best pitcher in the National League and career 300-game winner gave way to fireballer Harvey, 24, when the game began and Citi Field fans roared for both men in a stirring start to the festivities.
"When I'm warming up out there and they start chanting my name, that's something that you, as a kid, I don't think you could ever imagine," Harvey told reporters.
"This whole experience has been absolutely incredible for me, something I'll never forget."
Harvey, who has compiled a 7-2 record with a sterling 2.35 earned run average (ERA) for the offensively challenged Mets, became the youngest All-Star starting pitcher since the Mets' Dwight "Doc" Gooden started the game at age 23 in 1988.
"It was so much fun," said Harvey, one of a record 39 first-time All-Stars in the game. "Just being in the locker room with all the guys, the whole experience, the Red Carpet; it being in New York, and starting.
"As a kid, I don't think you could have dreamed of doing something like that. It was a tremendous honor, and something I'm very thankful for."
Harvey got off to a bumpy start.
His first pitch was sliced down the first base line by Mike Trout for a double and the hard-throwing righthander hit Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano just above the knee with a 96 mph fastball in the next at-bat.
Cano, who escaped with just a bruise, was replaced by a pinch-runner but Harvey felt terrible.
"Obviously that was the last thing I wanted to do was go out there and possibly injure somebody," Harvey said. "When he came off, I apologized and made sure that he was okay."
After the game Cano said: "He said: 'My bad.' I said: 'No problem.' I know he don't want to hit nobody. Just part of the game."
Harvey collected himself and struck out 2012 Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, got major league home run leader Chris Davis to fly out to center and struck out Jose Bautista to end the threat.
After a one-two-three second inning, he left the mound to roars from a crowd of more than 45,000 that was the largest ever to attend a game at Citi Field.
The National League lost 3-0 but for Harvey it was a night to remember.
"This whole experience has just been, you know, breathtaking," he said.

Elevate Your Garden's Beauty
Cultivate a picturesque landscape with a beautiful arbor. These outdoor frames can be used to define a walkway or garden entrance, or to add another dimension to ground-level plantings. We have a wide selection of arbors in various materials and styles. Choose the perfect design to create a garden scene with classic elegance.
Wrought Iron
Wrought iron arbors are steeped in artistic tradition. Iron has been worked into delicately scrolled and flourished fencing, gates, and trellises for centuries. This ornate look adds timeless beauty to any garden area.
Mild steel construction is a strong and economical choice. Some steel designs emulate the ornate wrought iron looks of the past, while others offer more contemporary options. Steel is a good choice for bench and swing models for years of durable strength.
Vinyl is a great low-maintenance option. UV protection ensures they will not fade or crack, and they can simply be hosed off with water for a bright, clean appearance. Vinyl styles are often white, so choosing this style can create a cohesive landscape with a white house or white fencing.
Wood lends a natural look to your yard or garden. This style is often made from cedar for outdoor durability. Wood arbors can be stained, painted, or left natural. Untreated cedar will age to an attractive silver grey, or you can use a wood sealant to preserve the bright cedar color. These styles can be a perfect complement to a wood deck or other yard elements, like natural wood fencing or garden borders.
Gabled, Arched, or Flat
Consider what you prefer, as gabled, arched, or flat styles all produce a different effect. Arched designs are a classic choice, while gabled peaks add a twist of visual interest. Flat pergola arbors can evoke a traditional cottage or Asian aesthetic.
Gates, Benches, and Swings
Location will help determine what features you choose. As the welcoming fixture for a yard or garden, a gated style may the perfect look. Bench and swing designs can create a cozy alcove within the garden, offering protected seating while supporting vining plants.
There are many climbing plants that will make good use of this new, supportive frame. Some favorite flowering vines include sweet autumn clematis, climbing hydrangea, wisteria, roses, and honeysuckle.
Finish the look with key accessories. Planter boxes or side wings can help to visually anchor your new arch. Also, doors can be added to many open designs to transform them into a gated garden entrance.

By GEORGE HENRYAssociated Press
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is still trying to gauge what his team will look like this season.
That's not easy to do during offseason training activities with some players unable to participate and others inexperienced.
But entering his 27th season as a coach in the NFL and 15th as a coordinator, Nolan says that it's far too early to be concerned.
Starting linebackers Sean Weatherspoon and Stephen Nicholas are sidelined recovering from offseason surgeries, and prized rookie cornerback Desmond Trufant is back in school completing his degree at Washington.
The Falcons aren't sure when the three players will return, but coach Mike Smith indicates they'll be back for a mandatory mini-camp June 18-20.
Until then, Nolan will look at other players on the depth chart.

Parvati devi dasi: Srila Prabhupada Samadhi Mandir, Vrndavana
20 Sept 2011
Dear Devotees. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Attached, please find photos of two huge wonderful paintings measuring 8′ X 6′ (without frames) in the back of Srila Prabhupada's divine Samadhi, which will be replaced in a couple months at Kartik Festival with the new bronze bas reliefs depicting Prabhupada's multifarious activities and mission. One painting is the famous picture of San Fransisco Rathayatra, and the other the famous picture of Hippie Hill Park also San Fransisco. We are hereby opening up the auction of these unique paintings for whoever has a place to put them. We would like to ask that the bids open at $2000 for each of these magnificent paintings so we can make up the balance for a few extra costs incurred in the installation and the finishing touches. I will periodically update you when the bids come in so anyone can top the price if they want. May the competition begin! I hope this meets you well.
Your servant,
Parvati devi dasi

Cats Don't Like Water?
Cats have long been known to be one of the most difficult pets to give a bath to. You pick the cat up, speak calming words into it's ears, and "MREOW!!!"…all four legs extend to the four corners of the sink. It seems that cats hate water…but their history would tell you a different story.
In times past, sailors would have cats onboard, and thought that they brought good luck. Besides the fact that they made great companions for long (perhaps months at a time) journeys at sea, they also served a couple of extremely important purposes.
First and foremost, the cats protected the ship, it's cargo, it's men, and it's pantry from rats and other disease carrying vermin. It would be disastrous if any of these items were to be destroyed in the midst of a lengthy voyage.
Second, cats have long been thought to be able to detect weather. They have been known to be extremely sensitive to their surroundings (including atmospheric conditions) because of their heightened sense of sight, smell, and taste. Common folklore has suggested that when a cat sneezes, it will rain soon; and that weather could also be predicted by examining the way that a cat bathes itself. Other people suggest that a variety of other cat activities can also predict bad weather, wind, and much more.
As a side-note, there once lived a British cat named 'Simon'. Simon was a part of the British Navy and served on HMS Amethyst. He was wounded during the Yahgtse Incident 1949, and ended up receiving the 'Dickin Medal' for his acts. Unfortunately, Simon did not live to receive his medal; but will be forever remembered for his dedication to the British Navy.
So…then next time you go to set your cat in the bath, you may want to remember all of the ways that cats really do belong near the water. You may also want to remind him that his ancestors did so with the utmost bravery.

Shares are down 74.3% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Doral Financial as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its feeble growth in its earnings per share, deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- DORAL FINANCIAL CORP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, DORAL FINANCIAL CORP reported poor results of -$14.84 versus -$2.00 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 280.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $28.26 million to -$50.87 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry and the overall market, DORAL FINANCIAL CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $25.70 million or 58.71% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 74.06%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 301.75% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
