In the digital age we live in, the Sistine Chapel isn't farther than a quick Google search away. Photographs of the ceiling there have richer detail than ever before, information about Michelangelo is available at one's fingertips on a multitude of websites and inside a plethora of books. But is seeing it on a screen or on a page really the same?
Not if you ask Ann Tuttle, professor of management and one of three faculty members who supervised a group Field Period™ to Florence, Venice and Rome the week after Commencement for 16 Keuka College students.
"It's not the same to read about it as to experience it," Tuttle said, contrasting the biweekly meetings members of the group held over months of preparation, to learn history, art, culture, and language with the 10 days the group spent in Italy itself.
"Seeing the things we'd learned about for ourselves was so much better and more meaningful than I could have imagined. Immersion in a culture is fulfilling and moving, it helps you to understand there is more out there than what we know," Tuttle said.
Students and faculty who experienced the wonders of Italy together will share their experiences Monday, Sept. 29 from 5-9 p.m. at the North Education Conference Center, and will also serve refreshments. All members of the college community are invited to come and see the culmination of the trip, much of which was coordinated through Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Denise Love. Last year, Love coordinated a group Field Period™ to Vienna, Prague and the Slovakian cities of Nitra and Bratislava along with Dr. Klaudia Lorinczova, assistant professor of education, and Melissa Newcomb, assistant professor of art. Newcomb returned for this year's trip, and the group also welcomed Dr. Jean Wannall, professor of occupational therapy, and her husband, Nathan Wannall, who helped serve as group Field Period™ leaders too.
Following the pattern set last year, students again kept online journals and blogs detailing their personal reflections in words and photographs.
"I imagined Michelangelo spending all of his time in there, working on the perfect detail," wrote Kelsey Harmer '15, after visiting the Sistine Chapel. "At first I was a little disappointed that we couldn't take pictures, but it made me appreciate the artwork so much more."
For her part, Newcomb said she was "overtaken with emotion looking at a masterpiece I had only seen in a photograph or video. I could have stayed there all day."
The trip was educational for her too, even as a professor, she said, especially since she has always dreamed about seeing Rome after studying so much art history.
"I can now say I have seen real masterpieces. I can share the experience and passion with my students. I can reach out to students in a different way now that I have walked through Italy. Passion will definitely be present in the classroom," she explained.
The group was able to experience making real Italian pasta, riding on gondolas in Venice, visiting Pompeii, and enjoying the beautiful waters surrounding Capri. Of course, some experiences don't always go according to plan. For example, authentic Italian cuisine is entirely different from the Italian-American food most of the students were expecting, as Brittany Gleason '15 discovered at an Italian restaurant where, under pressure, she ordered pizza with sausage on it.
"A few minutes later they brought out a large pizza with sliced hot dogs on it. So, today I also learned that 'sausage' here means our hot dogs," Gleason wrote.
Guided daily by an Italian native named Mario, both students and chaperones wrote about their newfound love for gelato, Italy's slightly more intense version of ice cream. While in the city of San Gimignano, the group was able to get gelato at the famous Gelateria di Piazza, which many consider the best in the world.
According to Kayla Hall '15, they weren't kidding.
"I thought the other places were good," Hall wrote. "Did you know that the best way to tell if a gelato is of good quality is to hang it upside down? If it falls off you have a lame gelato, but if it stays on, it is one of the good ones. This one stayed on!"
In addition to its rich history of food and art, Italy is also known for its considerable architectural achievements, dating back to the ruins of ancient Rome. Perhaps best-known is the four-level Coliseum, or Flavian Theater. Built of concrete and stone, the stadium was used for animal fights, staged sea battles, and the famous gladiator matches.
"When you look at the Coliseum today the floor is removed, so you are able to see where the slaves were kept before they came up for battle," wrote Jenna Bird '15. "This was pretty surreal to experience because we were able to see exactly where slaves were kept essentially before they were sent to their deaths."
"Pictures don't do any place justice, especially when it comes to the scale of architecture," described Newcomb. "It's overwhelming but wonderful at the same time. It makes you really appreciate the experience of how something so massive and beautiful was created, how all the tiny details were created by hand. Each part tells a story, and you could study it for days."
"Even though we saw so much and maximized our time, there could never be enough time," Tuttle said, "It made me want to go back, to see more someday."
"I want to say thank you to Keuka College and all of those that have supported group Field Period™, because it is a life-changing and life- enhancing experience," Tuttle said.
Additional students who participated in the group Field Period™ included Alyssa Ange, Shawnee Brown, Amber Callahan, Marina Kilpatrick, Brittany Kuhn, Brianna Longwell, Brooke Reynolds, Anna Tomasso, Haley Tuttle, Justin Merrill, Lakwan Alleyne-Hall and Ian Wentzel.
Twenty-two faculty and staff members were recognized for their service and dedication to Keuka College at Community Day Aug. 19.

More photos from Community Day.
One senior is fascinated with her family history. Another is focused on finding beauty in any body. And yet another is fixated on beads and jewelry. This trio of artists will showcase signature works during "Mixed Media Minds," the senior art show at Keuka College's Lightner Gallery.
Friendship resident Emma Wolf has crafted mixed media collages of her great-grandmother's family using a typewritten essay, old photos recreated on tracing paper, and a wash of coffee grounds and water to create a vintage look. From collage renderings of parts of the bodies of many women, Kaye Field of Torrington, Conn. has fashioned one body, with a mirror in place of the head. Meanwhile, Ayuko Sakurai of Yokohama, Japan, south of Tokyo, has crafted multiple works with colored beads, jewelry and fabrics.
Each young woman is a visual and verbal art major, and all three will be on hand to greet the public at an artists reception, Thursday, April 24 from 4:30 – 6 p.m. at Lightner Gallery in Lightner Library, where light refreshments will be served. The show continues through May 16.
According to Melissa Newcomb, assistant professor of art, this exhibit features not just three unique styles, but three creative approaches to communicating an idea, emotion or experience, with each artist incorporating pieces of her life experiences
According to Field, body image and the concept of beauty remains an intrinsic struggle for women everywhere and became the subject of her work, "Beautiful Reflections." She chose to use a variety of media "to depict how no woman and no person is the same. We are all created differently and all of these differences are what make us all beautiful," she said.
Field said the women who participated in her project came from all over the world and showed their courage and bravery by sending her photos to use as inspiration for the work.
"The mirror is a big part of this piece. Everyone should look in the mirror and be able to smile at their reflection," Field said.
Wolf, too, could cite courage and bravery of strong women in her family history, such as her great-grandmother, Lula May, and other relatives who survived in regions of Florida where wild, untamed shores and marshes made daily life a struggle. Scattered for display below her mixed media works of Lula May as a child, and later, an aging woman, are knickknacks and small treasures: old-fashioned pocket watches, arrowheads, a large seashell, and an heirloom quilt. A 1938 sepia tint photo shows Lula May as a young mother, standing on a windblown beach, with a child at her feet. Other family members also appear in Wolf's creations.
"I became avidly interested in their struggle for survival and how they were able to push through and move on to better things, when times got tough for them," Wolf said. "I wasn't quite sure what to focus my project on, but writing the essay helped me figure that out."
Another prominent piece within Wolf's "Strong Roots" exhibit is a sculpture of a tree rising out of the pages of a book. The work, "Family Tree," serves as a visual metaphor, she said.
For Sakurai, the intricate work of beading or sculpting jewelry echoes the same multiple dimensions, colors and facets of her personal history, studying abroad beginning at age 15 and traveling to more than 10 countries. One work she will display is a handmade dress designed from egg shells and other unique materials. According to Melissa Newcomb, assistant professor of art, Sakurai has been working on the dress for over a year.
"As I see something, I often find a connection between it and something I remembered [from my travel or study], which gives me a new layer of knowledge," Sakurai said. "Different objects or ideas are connected through my interpretation. This makes my world muti-colored and multi-faceted, like a well-polished crystal and also stimulates me in combining both traditional and contemporary styles and concepts of art."
During her January Field Period™ with a jewelry designer, Sakurai handcrafted her own unique gold necklace, and that experience ultimately led her to the Metal and Jewelry graduate program at Rochester Institute of Technology, where she will begin taking courses this fall.
Just this year, Keuka College began offering a new Art and Design program, providing more studio courses to give students opportunities to learn skills in a greater number of mediums. The increased diversity helps students build a portfolio with greater breadth, as well as develop strengths in a particular area, Newcomb said.
"In this case we have three seniors displaying work in multiple mixed mediums, which shows a range of experiences not only in their skills and abilities," Newcomb said. "It also becomes a very personal but rewarding way to share their story, whether it relates to the past, present or future."
In the few months that Keuka College has boasted an expanded curriculum in its newest major, Art and Design, students have begun digging into new studio art and digital design courses. Now, they're showcasing what they've learned.
Currently on display at Lightner Gallery in Lightner Library at the College through April 11, the student art show features a collection of digital illustration, mixed media and other designs from the new classes. These pieces are in addition to the photography, paintings, drawings, ceramics and sculptures created in existing classes.
"What you see when you walk into the space is the range and breadth of what the new art and design program offers," said Melissa Newcomb, assistant professor of art.
On Thursday, March 20, from 4:30 – 6 p.m., an artists' reception with light refreshments will be held at the gallery. All members of the campus community are invited to attend the event, which is free and open to the public. The work in this show has been crafted by freshmen, sophomores, and juniors as well as seniors whose major is not in art. Graduating seniors in the current program will exhibit their cumulative art portfolios later, in the final gallery show of the academic year.
"This year's student show work is stellar," said Winsome Zinkievich '14 of her fellow artists. "Though each piece is unique and tells its own story, each piece also compliments all the other works presented."
Those distinct differences proved a bit perplexing however, when it came to handling logistics for the exhibit, Newcomb pointed out.
"The layout was a challenge because everyone has their own individual style. One piece is not like the next – so how do you create a sense of flow? But it came together with more than one set of eyes and it worked out wonderfully," she said, crediting Zinkievich, Jesse Ninos '17 and Mitch Leet '16 for help crafting the overall design of the show.
This year's show demonstrates the strength of the talent being developed at the College through the old and new programs, said Leet, who switched to the new art and design major this fall. Some of the additions to the curriculum include Foundations of Design, the prerequisite course in which students begin developing their art portfolios, Mixed Media, Visual Design, Digital Illustration and Digital Storytelling.
"I'm very excited about the future of art at Keuka and I feel very lucky to be part of such a fantastic show," Leet said.
Keuka College has received approval from the New York State Department of Education to offer a major in art and design beginning in the fall 2013 semester.
The major is geared toward students interested in design, visual expression, and digital communication.
Keuka's program provides "practical, career-entered advising and experiences" that a recent national report on education in the arts recommends, "including a first-year introduction to the principles and practices of building a professional portfolio and a stand-alone, upper-level seminar focused on "Art in the World,"' said Doug Richards, professor of English and chair of the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts.
"While fostering creative development and personal expression, the major provides the skills and experiences essential for success in the field of design and visual communication. The program's enhanced emphasis on digital media and graphic design will open up cutting edge opportunities for students as they transition to the workforce or advanced study," said Richards.
Students may choose to pursue a stand-alone, core-major program in art and design, or an art and design major with any of the following concentrations: advertising/marketing, communication, digital graphic design, small business/entrepreneurship, studio art, theatre arts, and verbal arts.
"The new program has more of a design influence, and reflects that there is more interest in digital media," said Melissa Newcomb, assistant professor of art. "However, students will not be limited to design, and will learn layout, digital publishing and how to build their portfolios."
As the "artistic community" at Keuka grows, Newcomb believes there will be more opportunities for students to share their work on campus, build their portfolios, and enhance their marketable skills.
Added Newcomb: "Ever since I arrived at Keuka, I've had this big dream of where I want to take the art program. I feel very good about where it is going."

28. November 2011 - 13:21The results of the recently completed census have yet to be completed, but one is already known – there are fewer people in Serbia. Every year a town of about forty thousand inhabitants disappears. Warnings have come true, warnings of demographers who have been sending dramatic messages primarily to authorities to do everything possible in order to approach this problem seriously, and, above all, influence fertility rate increase by economic measures.

24. November 2011 - 15:29Services catering for the poor in Kosovo and Metohija have for years been working in very difficult conditions and would not be able to survive but for help from individuals and associations. The aid of more than one million dinars, which the Football Association of Serbia recently sent to the village of Prekovac, near Kosovska Kamenica, the centre of catering for the poor in Kosmet, is very important for the continuation of work of such services.

Southland Golfers Encouraged To Sign SCGA's Pace Of Play Pledge
STUDIO CITY, Calif., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Southern California Golf Association this month launched a Pace of Play Pledge, urging Southland golfers to change the culture that accepts slow play and play faster. Leading and serving amateur golf in Southern California, the SCGA hopes to use its platform to educate golfers with helpful tips that can often alleviate slow play. For a limited time, all who sign the pledge will receive a Pace of Play bag tag with helpful hints for their foursome.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130129/DC50763LOGO )
"We hear too often how frustrated golfers are with lengthy rounds," said SCGA Executive Director Kevin Heaney. "With this pace of play program, we look forward to working with Southland golf courses and industry leaders to make golf more enjoyable for everyone involved with the game by gathering feedback and highlighting success stories."
Commonly known as a deterrent to the game of golf, pace of play was once again in the spotlight this week when Tiger Woods publically acknowledged a frustration with the pace of play at the Farmers Insurance Open. Among the tips being shared by the SCGA for faster play are:
- Walk fast
- Know where your group is in relation to the group in front of you
- Get your yardage and be ready to play before it is your turn to play.
- If someone isn't quite ready to play, another player should play before them
- When any shot heads toward rough, a water hazard or trees, all players should watch closely as to where the ball lands
- Read your putt before it is your turn to play
- Recognize when someone will need the flagstick attended or your ball marked.
- Place your golf bag or park your golf cart near the next teeing ground

Is Bogota's gun ban responsible for a drop in homicides?
(Read article summary)If a new gun ban in Colombia's capital is linked to a drop in the murder rate, it could potentially serve as a model for the rest of Latin America, writes guest blogger Geoffrey Ramsey.
Fernando Vergara/AP/File
• A version of this post ran on the author's blog, insightcrime.org. The views expressed are the author's own.
The city of Bogota has seen a significant reduction in homicides after passing a ban on carrying guns. If the two developments prove to be related, the ban could provide a model to other violence-plagued cities in the region.
On February 1, newly-elected Bogota mayor Gustavo Petro introduced a three-month ban on carrying guns in public, saying that to carry a weapon represented "not a defense mechanism, but a risk." On April 30, Petro declared that the ban had been a success, and had contributed to a 31 percent drop in homicides when compared to the first four months of 2011. April in particular saw a particularly large drop in homicides, and with only 96 murders reported, was the most peaceful April on record in 15 years. Because of this, Petro and local army officials (the military is responsible for gun regulation in the country) announced that the ban would be extended for three more months.
If the ban continues to see success, it may prove permanent. Petro has expressed interest in this, and says that he wants to change the attitude of Colombians towards weapons, in order to "generate a culture of tolerance and love."
At first glance, the gun ban and corresponding drop in homicides seems to provide a compelling model for cities elsewhere in the region. As a report recently published by the Inter-American Dialogue noted, most of Latin America's homicides are concentrated in urban areas. Indeed, access to weapons has been cited by some commentators – including InSight Crime – as one of the main drivers of violence in Caracas, especially among poor youths in the city's slums. If restricting the bearing of firearms had so much success in Bogota, why not export it to other violent hotspots in the hemisphere, like Caracas, Rio de Janeiro, or San Pedro Sula?

Reggie Bush's lofty goal
Can the Dolphins' RB really accomplish his goal of leading the NFL in rushing?
You love to see players who exude confidence and Reggie Bush is one of those guys. Never known as a feature back in the Saints offense, and with just one year of over 160 carries in his NFL career, Bush recently declared that his goal is to lead the NFL in rushing in 2012. Big words. The question is, can he realistically accomplish this feat given added responsibility in a new offensive scheme, or is this just bravado-filled rhetoric?
We saw Bush make a jump last year, but what he does in 2012 has a lot to do with scheme. So let's take a look at Dolphins' offensive scheme, how Bush will fit into it and, between the two, whether he really has a shot.
With a new head coach in Joe Philbin and a new offensive coordinator in Mike Sherman, this offense will have a vastly different look. It will be a West Coast look with a one-cut-and-go run game and a zone blocking scheme up front. However, the Dolphins aren't quite as athletic in the trenches as they would like to be and there are some real question marks on the right side of this unit.
To read more about whether Reggie Bush can lead the NFL in rushing and how he fits in Miami's new offense, plus to get all of Insider's NFL content, sign up to be an ESPN Insider.

Match Preview
Wenger shocked at Pulis departure Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted he did not see Tony Pulis' departure from Crystal Palace coming. Palace's plans for the new Barclays Premier League season, which starts at Arsenal in Saturday's late kick-off, have been thrown into disarray after Pulis left the Selhurst Park club late on Thursday. Pulis was named manager of the season for 2013/2014, having guided the Eagles to safety following his appointment last November at a time when the south London club were rock bottom, but went on to finish comfortably in mid-table. Former Stoke boss Pulis had reportedly been left frustrated by the club failing to push through deals for various players he targeted to strengthen the Palace squad. Palace issued a brief statement on Friday morning, which indicated Pulis had left by "mutal consent", with several candidates such as Malky Mackay, Neil Lennon and Tim Sherwood likely to be interested in the vacancy. Wenger revealed there had been no indications of any issues when he caught up with Pulis at a pre-season Premier League managers' meeting at the start of the week. "It was a complete surprise to me and what kind of consequence that will have on Crystal Palace, I don't know," said Wenger, who is the longest serving manager in the top flight. "The only thing I can say is that he's done a remarkable job last season and he made a miracle. I don't really know why he left, but it took me by surprise. "I have (never) seen that (manager leave so close to start of season) before, so you can always be surprised. "I was at a managers' meeting on Monday with Tony Pulis and nothing indicated that he would not be here (on Saturday) afternoon." Wenger added: "Maybe Tony Pulis was the manager of the season last year because he took the maximum out of his team during the period he was there - that is the real job of the manager." Arsenal hope to have defender Laurent Koscielny fit following a minor Achilles problem. Keith Millen will be in caretaker charge of Palace again. He said: "We are all shocked from the players to the staff. "We knew the frustrations of the club that we hadn't brought in as many players as we wanted but as far as training is concerned we had no inkling this might happen. "The players are asking why. This has happened now three times what with Dougie (Freedman) leaving and then Ian (Holloway) and now Tony. "So they're asking why. It's important to reassure them they've done nothing wrong. "Tony loved working with the group and they are a great group to work with. "Now all of a sudden they're wondering who is going to come in and what direction we're going." Martin Kelly, Fraizer Campbell and Brede Hangeland could be handed debuts for the Eagles.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Wrapping up a criminal case that ruined lives from Washington state to New Jersey, a federal judge today is scheduled to sentence a real estate executive who admitted to running a Ponzi scheme that bilked 600 investors out of $75 million.
U.S. District Judge Bruce Black is expected to give Doug Vaughan no more than 12 years under a plea agreement reached in December when Vaughan pleaded guilty to two felony charges.
It was unclear on Tuesday, however, whether the 65-year-old Albuquerque man would be able to live out what could be his final years in a minimum-security federal prison camp for white-collar criminals or a traditional lockup with more hardened convicts.
Defense attorney Amy Sirignano says the U.S. attorney's office reneged on a deal that would have landed him in the less restrictive environment of a prison camp.
As part of the original plea agreement, she said, prosecutors agreed to Vaughan's request to voluntarily surrender and to be able to go to a prison treatment plan for alcohol issues.
Both actions would have reduced Vaughan's score under the federal prison system that will determine which lockup he qualifies for.
But prosecutors in their presentencing report opposed those two points.
"The government went back on its word," Sirignano said, "... and that's outrageous conduct."
Sirignano was meeting with New Mexico U.S. Attorney Ken Gonzales Tuesday afternoon. A spokesman for Gonzales said she could not comment on the case but that a response would be filed before Vaughan's sentencing today at 2 p.m. before federal Judge Bruce Black in Santa Fe.
In her filings, Sirignano cites a Dec. 12, 2011, letter in which assistant U.S. attorney Gregory Fouratt said he would not oppose the treatment program or voluntary surrender, which means Vaughan would not be taken into custody in the courtroom after his sentencing.
But in his presentencing report to the court, Fouratt wrote that Vaughan has had plenty of time to get his affairs in order.
"Whatever benefit may accrue to Vaughan were he allowed to 'voluntary surrender' is dwarfed by the measure of justice the victims will derive from witnessing Vaughan finally begin his incarceration," he wrote.
As for the defense's request that Vaughan get treatment for alcohol issues, Fouratt wrote the defense was seeking that treatment "only to trim up to a year off his prison sentence."
He said that while the defense maintains Vaughan drinks Chardonnay on a daily basis, so do millions of other people "and thousands of doctors recommend doing so."
"Most importantly, there is no credible evidence that the long-term Ponzi scheme that Vaughan masterminded and operated was fueled by alcohol," he wrote. "Greed, narcissism, an insatiable desire for the spotlight and the adoration of others, perhaps, but not alcohol."
The scheme involved people loaning money to Vaughan in exchange for promissory notes that carried high interest rates and were issued through his now-defunct Vaughan Company Realtors. The loans were supposed to be used for real estate investments but prosecutors say Vaughan used the money to support a lavish lifestyle and pay back earlier investors. The scheme collapsed in 2010.
Vaughan had victims in at least eight states, including New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington.

scory commented on the blog post Protecting DC's Metro from the FBI and Facebook
Living in Washington, I can tell you three things about Metro operations and "security":
1. Metro can't run its frakkin' trains and buses on time, because they can't maintain them.
2. Metro can't deal with real security issues — personal thefts on trains, assaults in Metro-controlled spaces — that it currently has.
3. Metro's management and governance are a bunch of useless elected officials and bureaucrats (and I'm looking at you, Jim Graham) who are hopelessly out of touch with the real needs of riders and the businesses — including the Federal government — they support.As for me, I'm loading up my gym bag with the nastiest set of gym kit I can find. Take that, security theater!

A good friend is working with the JSF Program and thought I make him something that no one else has. It is a follow up to the Bud Light Lime F-18 I made a while back. This was built from the latest technology in super lightweight and super strong aluminum. It has 16oz of thrust even!!!
I used super glue gel to glue up everything quickly. It took longer to drink it than it did to make it.

Hey everyone. I've had the x-runner for about a year now and baffled things up with the body kit not knowing the full extend of how low the x-runner really sits. Really mad at myself, but I know some touch up is in the trucks future.
The body kit holes that the clips slide into a few have busted out. My fix was a horrible looking zip tie quick fix so it wouldn't slide on the road while driving.
My idea of a good fix for now without buying a whole new body kit. Is too drill some small holes where the holes are and put a bolt, washer w/ rubber gaskets on each side to avoid scratching, and a nut to hold the body kit in place. Instead of stainless steel i'm hoping to find a matte black screw or have them powder coated, but alas thats my idea.
Any input is always accepted. Pics below

TORONTO, Ont. – The former executive director the Salvation Army's north Toronto warehouse has now been charged in the alleged theft of thousands of toys and donations from the charity.
Toronto police said David Rennie, 51, who surrendered to police at around 9:30 a.m., has been charged with theft, possession of stolen goods and breach of trust. He will appear in court on Jan. 4, 2013.
Rennie was fired last week after it was discovered that $2-million in toys was stolen from the warehouse near Victoria Park and Lawrence avenues over 24 months.
Police said they are looking for another suspect.
At a news conference, Monday, Toronto police said a significant amount of the stolen toys has been recovered.
Maj. John Murray, with the Salvation Army said he is grateful for their hard work.
"We're very pleased to know that the public who donated these goods, their kindness will certainly go to the intended purpose," Maj. Murray said.
Investigators said among the missing items they recovered were bikes donated by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, stacked in the warehouse's washroom. They were supposed to be delivered to a summer camp run by the Salvation Army.
A total of four search warrants were issued in the recovery of the stolen property. One-hundred-and-fifty skids of items were found — enough to fill three tractor-trailers.

With no survivors in West Virginia mine blast, focus shifts to responsibility
Investigators say 'no stone will be left unturned' in finding the cause of the Upper Big Branch mine explosion. Criminal charges are rare following mine disasters, and causes for explosions can be complex.
Rescuers working 1,000 feet underground in the Upper Big Branch mine returned to the surface early Saturday morning with bad news: There were no survivors left in the worst US coal mining accident in 40 years. Twenty-nine died.
"We did not receive the miracle that we prayed for," Gov. Joe Manchin said in a barely-audible voice. "So this journey has ended and now the healing will start."
But healing isn't all families, investigators and even President Obama want: Capping off a draining and sadly familiar scene in Appalachian coal country, Americans now turn inevitably to the next question: Who – or what – is responsible?
IN PICTURES: West Virginia mine explosion
The investigation is sure to once again test the uneasy tension between coal operators and safety regulators as mine experts try to reconstruct what caused the ripping blast – and whether it could have been avoided.

Ive had my Droid X for a while now and really love it, but lately Ive been having trouble with the GPS. About a month ago I couldnt get a GPS signal at all, I actually left my phone on my lawn for an hour to see if it would pick up a signal and it just kept searching. I cleared out all of the data from all my apps, then did a factory restet and the gps was reliable for about 3 weeks. Then on monday I opened the GPS and it closed itself as soon as I opened it. I thought nothing of it, opened it back up gps worked fine. The next day I was driving and all the sudden lost gps signal, about 2 miles later it came back, and worked fine for the rest of the day. I cleared out all the data on the phone again, turned the gps off used my app killer to close everything, then did a battery pull. it worked good until today. Today I was driving I lost GPS signal and it wouldnt come back no matter what I tried. I cleared data, pulled battery, un installed updates then reinstalled them, finally I got desperate and did a factory reset still no GPS. What can I do?
Have a couple of options for you to try. Quick question, first. Are you rooted? That will help a lot to know. Anyway, get an app from the market called z device test. It's free and tests lots of hardware. Then get faster fix. Also free. It always took forever for the gps to lock onto me. Faster fix makes it work within a few seconds on my X. Fantastic app. Another thought, not sure, but I'd imagine that there are apps to count the satellites for gps that your phone uses. That might tell you something, too. Let me know if any of this helps. If not, we'll see what else we can figure out. Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums
being rooted gives you system level access to your phone... We have nothing to fear but running out of beer
No I am not rooted. My previous phone was a blackberry curve and I used to mess with the OS all the time but it became quirky after a while so I decided not to mess with my Droid.
I couldnt install faster fix because it requires you to be rooted. What is involved in being rooted, does it change the reliability of the phone? I tried Z device test and found out my gps works, what I did notice is that I have 11 satellites all in green. Then I decided to do a test I put an address in the gps and tried to make it give me directions. Then I opened Z device and looked at my satelites, the phone said searching for GPS z device only had one in red. Then All the sudden I had 9 or 10 all the way up in red, then they started to turn green one by one and I was now gpsing, I drove 5 feet everything went to 0 and I had no gps. I then drove around my block circling the same streets for about 15 mins watching Z device and all the sudden had full service and no problems I drove for 20 mins to my destination. Another thing I noticed is today it worked perfect for 3 deliveries, then my keyboard wouldnt appear when I went to put my destination in, but if I pushed in the area where it should be I could get letters. After 3 reboots the keyboard came back but now it wouldnt get a signal. Sometimes if I open Z device and see all the satelites are green Ill open up the gps put in my destination and as soon as it gets ready to navigate they all drop out on Z device. It seems like the GPS software or driver isnt working right. I have a few little odd things my phone does, like the browser crashes, sometimes youll type a word on a text and it takes a second or so to show up, when I type in a phone number and hit send on the phone it takes it a few seconds to actually start dialing, Ill be almost next to my router and it wont pick it up, then the phone sits long enough to lock and when I unlock it TADA its connected. I'm starting to think maybe the OS is corrupted or something is there a way to just reload everything on the phone besides factory reset?
On the back of phone where the battery is to the left of the tab you can see the GPS antenna and on the battery cover you can see where it rubs. Try placing a piece of tape over the spot on the battery cover and check the signal then. Probably not the problem but worth a shot.
No it should not affect the signal unless the antenna was damaged Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums
I found this on another forum and it worked for me. "I noticed while holding the phone in a certain way with the battery cover off, I would get a fix on all satellites almost instantly (using GPS Status). After some testing, I found that putting pressure on the piece of plastic between the battery pull tab and SD card was the solution. With a little MacGyver ingenuity (folded a movie stub in half, placed on that spot, and put the cover back on), I now have perfect GPS reception, indoors and out. I'm not sure if this is the issue for everyone with a Droid X and GPS problems, but it should at the very least help some."
To the OP I am having almost the same exact problem as you! It works fine sitting in my house but as soon as I get out of my house and start driving I lose the signal, so irritating! I need to get this fixed I need gps for my work!
Any luck? I just bought a used phone. No GPS I am looking for a fix to this. All of the tape and wedges and other stuff has not worked. Thanks
