High Numbers of Black on White Crime
Posted in the West Virginia Forum
United States
#25 May 25, 2008
First off I want to say that I am not a racist. I see people by thier actions, not thier color. But I do have to ask why there are "blacks only" colleges? Why is thier Black Entertainment Television?.... I'm just saying...people talk about how blacks are treated unfairly but whites don't have "whites only" colleges or White Entertainment Television and so on. I guess I just don't understad because whites would never be allowed to have "whites only" anything these days. Like I said I am honestly not racist...just curious.
#26 May 31, 2008
black onwhite is rampant
#27 Jun 8, 2008
I lived in South Africa before migrating to Australia in 2000 because I feared for my family. People have to live in gated communities with barb wire and electric fences. It's awfull and has gotten worse since ANC took over. The black on white crime is astronomical. People blame it on aparthied but the primarily reason for aparthied was because whites feared black crime. No one gives a shit about skin color but when that skin color is committing crimes at 10 times the rate of another color then it becomes an issue. How couldn't it? Not to say that all blacks are bad. I had many black friends in SA and still do. But why all the crime by blacks?
United States
#28 Jun 11, 2008
listen... i live in biringham alabama. i'm a strong age 47 guy, a white guy
for the most part 99% of the afro are good people, but there is a SERIOUS crime problem.
for 5 years living out here i had no problem, then 3 times in 3 months attempted robberies.
the teenagers believe in beating up a grown up
again, i have to say 99% of the people are good people, but there is definitely a culture of lawlessness... it is the culture or is it the drugs
all i know is this.. i only hope they chose to build on their strength instead of obtaining and building on a criminal record.
the crime really isn't that bad AS LONG as you avoid any sort of drug or drinking, that is out of the question in a africian am neighborhood... the WORST TIME when crime occurs is from 630 - 800pm when everyone's home, the porch monkey's .. that probably is the most dangerous time.
and i agree, almost exclusively, the young black males on drugs are very dangerous, not all of them, but even 1 out of 100 is too many.
as long as you avoid most of the drinking/drugging environment, you will avoid 99% of the crime, it always involves those two.
United States
#29 Jun 11, 2008
just to clarify....
do i believe it based on blacks?
I would say the drugs and drinking BY FAR are the BIGGEST factor
NO... i don't believe alot of the stereo types at all
by when drinking/drugs are involved, the young black males definitely when in groups can become quite dangerous
i've never heard of such nonsense as shooting at police and shooting one another... it's only 1 out of 1000 that would commit such insanity, but the rest of the group is influenced too.
again... i really hope they invest in themselves so they can earn a living instead of a criminal record.... where i come from that kind of nonsense doesn't go on NOT to that extent..
disagreements yes but a fight would be a serious issue... unheard of to have this "hunters" mentality of the young black males... you literally would HAVE to be on drugs to become that violent and even more perverse to enjoy it
how much of that are the psychotropic prescribed medications, the illicit drugs, and the culture... i would say 1 out 500 - 1000 would be a very good feel
#30 Jun 23, 2008
The above is for anyone who do not believe it is a demographic problem. And keep in mind, it is only 12% of the population.
Since: Jun 08
#31 Jun 25, 2008
The problem is the whites that are responsible for most of the political corruption keeping the blacks down are not subjected to the consequences because of their status. It's us white middle to lower class that are dealing with the crime from blacks that rich whites keep down. The media has turned on the whites now too. Hate crimes are never accounted for in blacks on whites crime, but if a white kills a black it will be considered so at least half of the time. I pray for the day we can all get along and be equal.
#32 Jun 29, 2008
Black people aren't to blame for their problems today....
.... Black 'culture', on the other hand, is to blame. Very materialistic, arrogant and entitled.
#34 Sep 28, 2008
You are all knuckleheads. And mostly for the sam reason lol. The whiteys don't want Barack for Prez cuz he is black, the blacks want him so they will finally be represented at the top position in the country and the stigma of alot of deep passions will be resolved when this happens. Well I hate to tell you all this cuz the media will not due to it will ruin the storyline for their newscasts but... Obama is only 1/16th black, not even black enough to mark it legally on a government form. He is actually half white, 7/16th Arabic, and as stated 1/16th black. Even when you look at his name Barack Hussein Obama, all 3 are Arabic, not African. His great grandfather was only half African which makes his grandpa one quarter, father one eighth, and him one sixteenth. Although his children will be just over half black because his wife is black so even though he is basically half white and half arabic it will be like having a black president because we all know that a black woman is the boss of the house!
#35 Oct 5, 2008
Bigot? Just a way to close down all debate when you have no counter argument, its the coward's way out. It's ironic since the true bigots here are the ones who won't accept the blatant truth staring them in the face. Come up with more bogus excuses as to how these statistics are false, all those statisticians must be hardcore nazi kkk members right? On another note how can anyone be surprised by this? Are you completely shut off from the world around you that you don't see these influences spread all throughout the black american youth culture, mainly hip hop artists who promote this kinda thing. Watch this footage of blacks in compton if you truly want to see how blacks behave in non pc america.
#37 Oct 21, 2008
Wow you're incredibly stupid, you should use some of that time you have on your hands to get you a life
#38 Oct 30, 2008
all excuses is what we hear from these supposed civil rights a$$ holes..
check the prisons.. there are your criminals, the truth is right there but of course there will be tons of excuses made for these sub human pieces of garbage.. excuses.. because we as white people know the truth and the civil rights black/hispanic satanists will try and mold us into politically correct submissive robots ripe for the slaughter. Too bad civil rights a$$ holes!! we are taking note of everything you are doing, the tall walking of our payment is coming. we will avenge our raped and murdered white brothers and sisters through any means necessary to balance real justice..
United States
#39 Oct 31, 2008
You are a serious, serious racist. You hate white people so bad you can taste it. What a bigot.
United States
#40 Oct 31, 2008
I am white and I am not voting for him because he is black. The only people who bring up his race happen to be black. It is because he is a junior senator with no experience. President of the United States is not an entry level position. Please get over yourself and realize the real racists in this race are the 92% of blacks that vote for a man because of his skin color. Just another black on white crime.
United States
#41 Oct 31, 2008
YOU are seriously all wrapped up in race. Man, I don't think most people care what portions of what he is except people like you. Get over yourself, you are the bigot and your a racist. He is unqualified for the position. End of story.
United States
#42 Oct 31, 2008
Black on WHite crime is so bad the FBI and the Justice Department won't even release the statistics to the public. The last time they did was in 1995 and it said roughly 90% of racial crime was blacks commiteing crime against whites. Shocked?
#44 Nov 17, 2008
how about one of you and your mom take a walk in harlem around 10:00pm than tell us all about it.after you get out of the hospital walk through a white neighborhood let us know how you made out.if you are in the morgue disregard the second half.
#46 Dec 15, 2008
Exactly. Blacks ARE sub-human animals.
Morvin, AL
#47 Jan 12, 2009
well here it is 6 months later and i am getting
out of this TOTALLY corrupt City of Birmingham
I may have come out here free from prejudice,
but after what i've seen here is black
bahavior... i am really sorry, i can't deal
with all the assaults, violence, crime and
how dangerous this city is
Absolutely... whether it's drugs or culture
or genetics.. i really don't care.. almost
guarnteed unless extreme care is taken,
guaranteed you will be a victim of crime and
a victim of SERIOUS crime every 2 - 4 years
i could care less. this kind of bahavior
and corruption never would occur in a middle class neighborhood.. the police are corrupt
the mayor is indicted for corruption, the
county is corrupt and bankrupt.. and i have
to say.. i will NEVER live in a city that
the majority are afro american. for some
reason the violence, assaults is highly valued
in this culture which is absent in the middle
class and i am living in a afro middle class\
area.. even so gun shots + violence is very
common.. that does NOT occur in a white middle
class setting.. they can have their Birmingham..
i'm out of here.. this area is a complete dump
#48 Jan 15, 2009
We have black only colleges because whites didn't want blacks to have higher education so we created our own. We have BET, so what you have MTV MTV2 and VH1 those stations aren't geared toward black people. So we created a TV station so that we can see people that look like us on TV

The Virgin and Child, c. 1518-1520
Bernard van Orley
Flemish, 1488 - 1541
oil on oak
24 x 18 cm
Purchased 1984
National Gallery of Canada (no. 28531)
This is the left half of a diptych, a pair of images hinged together. The other half, now lost but known through copies, showed Margaret of Austria (1480-1530), Regent of the Netherlands. The Christ Child has broken away from feeding at his mother's breast to turn to Margaret, commanding her "veni", "come," to which she replies "placet", "willingly." The diptych format divides the sacred from the profane - the holy figures from the portrait - but the continuous space between the two halves - the room in which both Mother and Child and Margaret appear - unites them both. Orley was Margaret's court painter; she kept this work in her own collection. The photograph shows an early copy of the work, perhaps made on Margaret's order as a gift. A diptych of this size is an intimate work, meant to be used and held as much as looked at. We must imagine the action of opening and unfolding the work for contemplation, before closing it again.

Loch Ness Bed and Breakfast
Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 23 miles southwest of Inverness. . Loch Ness is best known for alleged sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie".
It is connected at the southern end by the River Oich and a section of the Caledonian Canal to Loch Oich. At the northern end there is the Bona Narrows which opens out into Loch Dochfour, which feeds the River Ness and a further section of canal to Inverness. Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish loch by surface area at 22 sq mi after Loch Lomond, but due to its great depth, it is the largest by volume in the British Isles. It contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water on the Great Glen Fault, which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south.

MONTVALE, N.J. — A&P will be able to emerge from chapter 11 next year, thanks to an agreement to receive $490 million of debt and equity financing from private investors comprised of The Yucaipa Companies LLC, Mount Kellett Capital Management LP and investment funds managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management L.P., the company announced Friday. The agreement is subject to approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
The investment will form the basis of A&P's plan of reorganization, which the company said it anticipates filing prior to Nov.14.
"This investment commitment is a very important step in A&P's financial and operational turnaround," said A&P's president and CEOr Sam Martin. "It positions us for a bright future with solid financial backing from sophisticated investors who know our company and industry well, and who also share our vision for A&P's future."
Martin continued: "We have been working diligently over the last year to execute a successful turnaround at A&P by enhancing the value and in-store experience we provide to our customers and by successfully driving substantial efficiencies across our operations and supply chain to reduce our cost structure. Going forward, these investors are committed to supporting further operational and service improvements. With this fresh capital investment and the court's approval of our plan of reorganization, we anticipate emerging from chapter 11 early next year in a much stronger competitive and financial position."
A&P filed for bankruptcy in December 2010 after years of battling hefty debt and intense competition. At the time, the grocer was reported to have total debts of more than $3.2 billion and assets of roughly $2.5 billion.
A&P said will be a private entity when it emerges from bankruptcy in 2012.

The opening stanza of the Cameroon national anthem begins, "O Cameroon, thou cradle of our fathers." This is literally true for me, the son of an immigrant from this small West African nation.While I've lived most of my life in the United States, I did spend my teenage years in Cameroon. Ever since I heard that Starbucks was launching a coffee from Cameroon, I've been alternately anxious, nervous and proud. That coffee is Starbucks Reserve® Cameroon Mount Oku.When my family relocated from Wisconsin to Cameroon in the late 1980s, we became fully immersed in Cameroonian culture. It was the first time we could physically embrace my father's extended family, and our immersion included our mealtime routines. For a tween/teenager, it was exciting to try new foods such as achu – pounded cocoyams with red palm oil soup. And breakfast no longer meant pancakes or cereal. Instead, we ate much more colorfully – puff-puff (sweet, fried dough) with hot peppers, beans and rice stew, and dodo (fried plantains with salt and pepper). We also drank lots of Cameroon-grown tea with freshly baked bread from local bakeries and locally sourced chocolate or peanut butter spreads for our morning meals.What we did not drink is coffee. In retrospect, this surprises me, but I don't recall drinking any coffee or seeing anyone else doing so for the five years I was in Cameroon. Robusta coffee is the nation's fifth largest agricultural export, but the country is better known for world-class soccer, cacao, bananas and rubber. My father actually tended some robusta coffee trees in his youth, and our family is from northwest Cameroon. This is the only region in West Africa with suitable climate and elevation for raising high-quality arabica coffee.Starbucks has never offered a coffee from West Africa. Thus, I had no frame of reference for how the Cameroon Mount Oku coffee would taste. When the day came to finally taste it, I had spread the word among my fellow partners, family and friends. I was invited to be the "guest of honor" at a small coffee tasting and really hoped the coffee would be good. Otherwise, that would be a difficult conversation! At the same time, I was so proud to see "Cameroon" written in such a beautiful way on a beautiful package.The coffee did not disappoint! The aroma presented an interesting floral note but the taste was nutty and chocolaty and rich. The surprise was the peppery finish, which I thought would go perfectly with some pepper soup and ripe plantains. This coffee has now become my favorite –at least while it is available. I also bought a case and sent some to my father and other family in Cameroon and around the United States so they could share in my excitement.
Reading your story has made me eager to sample Cameroon coffee myself. That will be my second purchase on my Starbucks card (the first was Hot Chocolate).

I am 9 days post op, my splint has been off for 5 days. The skin on my nose is peeling all over (which I know is normal). I wanted to know if it is safe to apply moisturizer or just to leave it alone. I have grapeseed oil and avocado oil that are pure with no agitating ingredients, and I also have commercial moisturizer. Also if it helps any, I had external rhinoplasty but no incisions on the outside. All answers are very appreciated, thank you

Organic Spintronics
- Answer fundamental questions about the basic properties of spin excitations in organic semiconductors (OSEC).
- Apply this knowledge toward development and fabrication of spin-related OSEC devices.
Why Organic Spintronics?
- Rich physics from the precursor polaron-pair state: spin-mediated organic electronics.
- Rich chemistry: OSEC are lightweight, environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and very versatile.
- Engineering and commercializationpotential: several existing companies focus on organic optoelectronics.
The goal of IRG-2 in Organic Spintronics is to provide insight to the following questions:
- Can we control the ratio between spin triplet and singlet excitations in OSEC and organic devices?
- Can we control and manipulate the interaction between spin-aligned carriers and nuclear spin polarization?
- Can organic-ferromagnet electrodes serve as spin injectors into OSEC?
- What are the temperature limitations of organic spintronics?
- Can we control the spin-injected current by an external electric field?
- Is there a Hanle effect in organic spin valves?
- How do we make devices stable?
Potential Applications
- Organic spin-valves → inexpensive mass-producible magnetic sensors (data storage).
- Spin-organic LED with color tuned by magnetic field → displays.
- Organic optoelectronic devices → environmental sensors (e.g., electronic properties change as a function of imbibed gas).
- Organic photovoltaics → more efficient, inexpensive, and robust solar cells.
At the initial funding of the MRSEC, teams participating within IRG-2 are organized as follows:

Mancini has shrugged off the rumours over his position and remains confident he has the backing of City's owners. Clichy is a big fan of Mancini and hopes City chiefs will keep faith with the Italian as his record proves he is the right man to take the club forward.

The Browns signed former Buffalo Bills slot receiver David Nelson to a one-year contract today, a league source confirmed for the Beacon Journal.
ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported a deal had been struck. Nelson visited the Browns this past Thursday at their headquarters in Berea.
"Hey Cleveland …" Nelson wrote on Twitter this evening.
Nelson, 26, spent the past three seasons with the Buffalo Bills and became an unrestricted free agent last month after the team chose not to offer him a $1.323 million qualifying offer that would have made him a restricted free agent. The 6-foot-5, 214-pound Nelson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament Sept. 9 in the season opener last year and had knee surgery shortly after.
In 2011, Nelson started 13 of the 16 games in which he appeared and tallied 61 catches for 658 yards and five touchdowns. During his rookie season in 2010, Nelson caught 31 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns. Nelson has been targeted 146 times in his career and has dropped just six passes, according to ProFootballFocus.com.

Upper Big Branch Mine disaster
Coordinates: 37°56′14″N 81°32′37″W / 37.937256°N 81.543572°W The Upper Big Branch Mine disaster occurred on April 5, 2010 roughly 1,000 feet (300 m) underground in Raleigh County, West Virginia at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch coal mine located in Montcoal. Twenty-nine out of thirty-one miners at the site were killed.[1] The coal dust explosion occurred at 3:27 pm.[2] The accident was the worst in the United States since 1970, when 38 miners were killed at Finley Coal Company's No. 15 and 16 mines in Hyden, Kentucky.[3][4][5] A state funded independent investigation would later find Massey Energy directly responsible for the blast.[6]
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) released its final report on December 6, 2011, concluding that flagrant safety violations contributed to the explosion. It issued 369 citations at that time, assessing $10.8 million in penalties.[7] Alpha Natural Resources, which had bought Massey Energy in 2011, settled its corporate criminal liabilities with the U.S. Attorney for $209 million.[8] Investigation of possible personal criminal liability continues,[8] with one former superintendent, Gary May, pleading guilty in March 2012, and "confess[ing] to conspiring to 'impede the [MSHA]'s enforcement efforts'". The CEO of Massey Energy at the time of the disaster, Don Blankenship, was convicted in 2015 of conspiring to willfully violate safety standards. He was found not guilty of charges of securities fraud and making false statements.[9]
In April 2012, coal producer Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR) (the then current owner) said it will permanently close its Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia.[10]
The explosion occurred at 3:27 pm local time (19:27 UTC) on Monday, April 5, 2010, at the Upper Big Branch South Mine near the community of Montcoal, about 30 miles (48 km) south of Charleston. The mine was operated by the Performance Coal Company, a subsidiary of Massey Energy.[2] The explosion ignited from an unknown source with high methane levels being a contributing causal factor. Twenty-five men were initially identified as killed.[11] Four days later, four missing men were found dead for a total of 29 deaths.[12][13] Investigators later faulted Massey Energy for failure to properly maintain its ventilation systems, which allowed methane levels to increase to dangerous amounts.[6]
Rescue and recovery mission[edit]
Emergency crews initially gathered at one of the portals for the Upper Big Branch Mine in Birchton, West Virginia, about 2 miles north of Montcoal and 3 miles south of Whitesville on Route 3 (on the west side of the road).[14] Kevin Stricklin, an administrator with the Mine Safety and Health Administration, stated 25 were reported dead and 4 unaccounted for. There are four boreholes to the mine; rescuers said they must drill 1,200 feet (370 m) through one of them to reach the affected area where survivors were located. Officials stated that there were two rescue chambers – ventilated rooms with basic supplies for survival – in the mine. On April 6, 2010, at 2:00 am, high levels of methane and carbon monoxide were detected forcing the team of rescuers to higher ground, further delaying the search.[15]
By Wednesday April 7, eleven bodies had been recovered, while fourteen still had not.[15] Although there were no indications that the four missing miners were still alive, the operations continued in rescue mode, rather than moving to recovery. Joe Manchin, the Governor of West Virginia, said, "Everyone is holding on to the hope that is their father, their son."[16] On the morning of April 8, 2010, the rescue efforts were suspended due to dangerous levels of methane in the mine.[17] Smoke in the mine, still present on April 9, indicated that there was an active fire in the mine making conditions hazardous for rescuers. Rescue attempts were set to resume later that day.[18]
According to an Associated Press story,[19] the two safety chambers in the mine were inflatable units made by Strata Safety Products with air, water, sanitary facilities, and food sufficient to support more than a dozen miners for about four days; they could possibly support four miners for longer than 96 hours, though only if any miners managed to reach a chamber after the blast.[20]
Late on April 9, Governor Manchin announced that the bodies of the four missing miners had been found, bringing the death toll to 29. The miners had not been able to make it to either of the safety chambers. Conditions were so poor in the mine that rescuers who were inside on the first day of the rescue operation unknowingly walked past the bodies of the four miners.[21]

Due to the large concentration of toxic gases in the mine, MSHA investigators had to wait for over two months to enter the mine for investigation.[22] Investigators were able to enter the mine on July 2, 2010.[23]
On May 19, 2011, the independent investigation team released a report which faulted both Massey Energy and the MSHA for the blast. Massey was strongly condemned by the report for multiple failures to meet basic safety standards outlined in the Mine Act of 1977. "A company that was a towering presence in the Appalachian coal fields operated its mines in a profoundly reckless manner, and 29 coal miners paid with their lives for the corporate risk taking," read the report. "The company's ventilation system did not adequately ventilate the mine. As a result, explosive gases were allowed to build up." Also detailed in the report are allegations that Massey Energy threatened miners with termination if they stopped work in areas that lacked adequate oxygen levels. Numerous other state and federal safety standards that Massey failed to comply with were detailed in the report.
Investigators also say that the U.S. Department of Labor and its Mine Safety and Health Administration were at fault for failing to act decisively at the mine even after Massey was issued 515 citations for safety violations at the Upper Big Branch mine in 2009. The report lambastes MSHA inspectors for failing to issue a flagrant violation citation which could have fined the company up to $220,000. Investigators claimed that this citation was entirely necessary given Massey's failure to meet basic safety protocols and the investigators found it "disturbing" that the violation was not issued. The failure to issue flagrant violation citations was attributed to MSHA which also failed to notify the miners and their families that they were working in a mine which had not met minimal safety requirements. As further evidence of MSHA's failures in the lead up to the UBB mine explosion, the report discusses how MSHA safety inspectors failed to enforce the safety protocols at Massey Energy's Aracoma Alma No. 1 mine. In 2007, a fire broke out at the Aracoma Alma No. 1 mine killing two miners. The report described the fire as "preventable" and cites an internal MSHA review following the fire which found that inspectors "were shocked by the deplorable conditions of the mine" and that MSHA inspectors had "failed" to enforce adequate safety measures. Furthermore, the report outlines how in the lead up to the blast the UBB mine "experienced at least three major methane-related events". One in 1997, another in 2003, and a third in 2004. Instead of addressing these issues, "Upper Big Branch management elected to consider each methane outburst or explosion as an anomaly." Furthermore, MSHA officials "did not compel (or to our knowledge even ask) UBB management to implement," safety precautions following these events.
The report states that Massey used its power "to attempt to control West Virginia's political system." The report cites how politicians were afraid of the company because it "was willing to spend vast amounts of money to influence elections." Massey intentionally neglected safety precautions for the purpose of increasing profit margins according to the report. Safety precautions in mines are "a hard-earned right paid for with the blood of coal miners" read the report's introduction.[6] These findings were repeated by miners and their families.[24][25]
It was claimed that the FBI had launched a probe investigating the possible bribery of federal officials overseeing mining industry regulation by Massey Energy.[26][27]
In November 2014 the then CEO, Don Blankenship, was indicted by a federal grand jury on four criminal counts, including conspiracy to violate safety laws, defrauding the federal government, securities fraud and making false statements to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.[28]
Prior history of safety violations and fatalities[edit]
In 2009, the company, Massey Energy, was fined a total of $382,000 for "serious" unrepentant violations for lacking ventilation and proper equipment plans as well as failing to utilize its safety plan properly.[29] In the previous month, the authorities cited the mine for 57 safety infractions.[30] The mine received two safety citations the day before the explosion, 600 in the preceding 18 months, and 1,342 in the preceding five years. The CEO of Massey Energy, Don Blankenship, has received criticism for his apparent disregard of safety.[25][31] The Upper Big Branch Mine-South, where the explosion occurred, has been in operation since October 1994.[32] Between 2000 and 2009, two fatalities occurred at this mine.[33]
In the previous year, 50 of the safety violations, more than 10%, were categorized as "unwarrantable failures to comply," which indicates willful or gross negligence; this was higher than the 2% national average.[34]
According to miners at Massey, many employees knew the Big Branch mine was hazardous; to protect themselves some experienced miners had left in months prior to the explosion.[24] One miner said mine officials "buy off judges and have political connections. They disregard safety rules; they get away with it. And most of all they work you to the bone."[24] Another miner said "When you work for Massey, you give your life to Massey.[24] According to the World Socialist Web Site, many of the mine's infractions prior to the explosion entailed a sharp increase in coal production.[24]
MSHA final report and Dept. of Justice settlement[edit]
On December 6, 2011, the MSHA concluded its investigation, deciding that the disaster was an entirely preventable coal dust explosion. It said "the root cause of the tragedy" was "unlawful policies and practices" of the company and issued 369 citations at the same time as the report.[7][35][36]
On the same day the U.S. Attorney announced a settlement with Alpha Natural Resources, which had acquired Massey Energy's assets and liabilities in 2011.[8][35]
Alpha Natural Resources will pay a MSHA $10.8 million civil fine plus $209 million for the Dept. of Justice settlement.[7] The settlement comprises $46.5 million in restitution payments, $34.8 million in fines for safety citations, $48 million for a health and safety research and development trust fund, and $80 million for safety improvements during two years. The restitution payments are $1.5 million to each of the two survivors and the families of each the 29 fatal casualties. The civil fine is about 5 times bigger than the previous largest fine for a mining accident. The settlement ends the corporation's criminal liability, although investigation of possible individual criminal liability continues.[35]
The 1000 page MSHA report dismissed Massey Energy's theory of a sudden surge of natural gas. It said 12 of its citations were related to the disaster, including 9 in the most severe "flagrant" category. Most important was failure to check for methane and failure to clean up coal dust. It recounted examples of a corporate culture more devoted to production than safety, and recounted examples of employees sanctioned for delaying production in order to resolve safety issues.[35]
While the investigation found the physical conditions that led to the coal dust explosion were the result of a series of basic safety violations at UBB, which PCC and Massey disregarded, the report cites unlawful policies and practices implemented by PCC and Massey as the root cause of the explosion --- including the intimidation of miners, advance notice of inspections, and two sets of books with hazards recorded in UBB's internal production and maintenance book but not in the official examination book. The investigation found that the operator promoted and enforced a workplace culture that valued production over safety, including practices calculated to allow it to conduct mining operations in violation of the law.— MSHA News Release 11-1703-NAT[7]
Public reactions[edit]
State and federal leaders, including Governor Manchin, United States Senators Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, United States Representative Shelly Moore Capito, and Cecil Roberts of the United Mine Workers of America, all expressed their condolences to the families of the workers.[37] On April 5, 2010, Governor Manchin and President of the United States Barack Obama spoke over the phone; the president expressed his condolences and offered federal assistance.[38] The American Red Cross and the Salvation Army have sent workers to the scene to provide emergency response vehicles, mental health counselors, food and water.[39]
Davitt McAteer, former leader of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, had harsh words for the disaster citing lessons unlearned from the 2006 Sago Mine disaster: "That was defining of Sago. That was one of the first things that we are not doing enough and we know how to remove methane and control dust problems and the fact that we had an explosion with methane or dust suggests that we are not doing enough to protect miners."[40] Days before the disaster a United States Department of Labor report emerged entitled "Journeyman Mine Inspectors Do Not Receive Required Periodic Training".[41] The report detailed the federal government's shortcomings in retraining its mine inspectors.
Massey Energy is the sixth-largest coal company in the country, owning 56 mines. Historically, this area of West Virginia has been dependent on coal production and on Massey Energy.[42] Relatives of the missing and confirmed dead expressed their anger that they were not notified directly by Massey Energy executives, but found out information from the company website or government sources. "They're supposed to be a big company", said Michelle McKinney, daughter of a missing employee, "These guys, they took a chance every day to work and make them big. And they couldn't even call us." McKinney was alerted of the incident by a local school.[15] Miners stated that they were warned of reprimand or losing their jobs if they took time from work to attend funerals.[24][25] A former miner asked, "Is a lump of coal that valuable to you that you can't even give the miners a day off to mourn their friends?"[24] A miner's wife told the World Socialist Web Site, "These are the miners' brothers; they know them better than their own families, and they can't even attend their funerals."[24]
Ted Turner commented on CNN about the mine disaster, stating "I'm just wondering if God is telling us He doesn't want to drill offshore (in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill off of the Gulf of Mexico.). And right before that, we had that coal mine disaster in West Virginia where we lost 29 miners ... Maybe the Lord's tired of having the mountains of West Virginia, the tops knocked off of them so they may get more coal. I think maybe we ought to just leave the coal in the ground and go with solar and wind power and geothermals..."[43]
The West Virginia University Mountaineers will wear Nike Pro Combat System of Dress uniforms, designed to pay respect to the deadly explosion at the Big Branch Mine, for the 2010 Backyard Brawl against the rival Pitt Panthers.[needs update] According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, West Virginia will wear a shade of white "that looks as if it has a fine layer of dust on the jersey" and has accents in university gold that "references the canaries used long ago to test toxicity in mines." The helmet has a thin yellow line, designed to look like "the beam of light emitted by a miner's headlamp."[44]
The Upper Big Branch Miners Memorial in Whitesville, West Virginia features a 48-foot (15 m) black granite monument with life-size silhouettes of twenty-nine miners etched on the front.[45]
The reverse side of the monument tells the "Story of Coal", a brief summary of the coal industry and its impact on West Virginia and the nation. Also etched on the back is a tribute to all coal miners who have suffered illness, injury or death as a result of working in the coal industry and a tribute to the makeshift gazebo memorial. The names of all twenty-nine miners killed and the two survivors are listed as well. Dedicated in July 2012, the memorial also includes a bronze sculpture and plaque recognizing the local first responders and mine rescue teams from West Virginia and neighboring states that aided in recovery efforts. The bronze sculpture was created by West Virginia native Ross Straight.[46]
Beside the parking area is a gateway to the memorial. Three interpretive signs tell the story of the Upper Big Branch Disaster and serve as an introduction to the events of that day and following week.
The memorial and plaza were designed by Rob Dinsmore of the Chapman Technical Group and built by Pray Construction.
In January 2013, a web memorial, www.ubbminersmemorial.com, was launched.[47]
In popular culture[edit]
Singer-songwriter Ray Harris's song "West Virginia Coal Mine" is a song about the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster. The song is written from the point of view of a miner.[48]
Hip-hop-bluegrass fusion group Gangstagrass recorded the song "Big Branch" with Portuguese-born artist Tomasia in their album Lightning on the Strings, Thunder on the Mic, released in 2010.[49][50]
Guilty plea[edit]
"People who run coal mines have a fundamental obligation to be honest with mine regulators," said Booth Goodwin, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, in announcing the guilty plea of a former superintendent of the Upper Big Branch Mine, Gary May, who confessed to conspiring to impede the Mine Safety and Health Administration's enforcement efforts.
He added, "When mine operators resort to tricks and deceit to keep government officials in the dark, our mine safety system unravels and miners are put in harm's way." May owned up to giving advance warning of inspections and concealing violations including "poor airflow in the mine; piles of loose, combustible coal; and scarcities of rock dust, which prevents mine explosions." When the plea was announced, May faced up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.[51]

Sony Hopes to Sell 5 Million PS4s in 5 Months
Jason Mick
September 19, 2013 9:02 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Electronics superpower hopes to best PS3's sales by 40 percent
Sony Corp. (
) saw sluggish sales of the PlayStation 3 after in launched on Nov. 11, 2006. In the console's first three months on the market it garnered are mere 3.6 million units sold. Although sales would eventually come back to life convincing Sony that there was life left in its console hardware business, the company was intent not to repeat on the relative miss of the PS3, instead looking to return to the successes of the PlayStation 1 and 2.
I. PS4 Aims to Wipe Bad Taste from PS3 Launch
The PlayStation 4 is set to launch on Nov. 15 in North America, a week before Sony's arch-rival in the console business Microsoft Corp. (
launches the Xbox One
. And Sony is already boldly predicting that it will sell 5 million consoles in the first five months of availabiliy, besting the PS3's sales by 40 percent.
If Sony can pull that off, it will be an impressive success story in an era when consoles are seemingly suffering the fate they bestowed upon their PC brethren -- market cannibalization. As mobile and social network gamings have boomed, sales of new console games have dipped, according to market researchers.
But Sony has benefited from near-flawless public relations in the wind up to the PS4 as Microsoft
has bumbled
multiple times
inflammatory terms
that outraged gamers, only to later turn back
on some of them
. Sony
had the lead as of last month in presales
in the online retail outlets like Best Buy Comp., Inc. (
) and Amazon.com, Inc. (

Microsoft is getting the head start on Sony in Europe, where the Xbox One launches Nov. 22 (the same dates as Microsoft's North American console launch). Sony's Xbox One will get started in the EU retail market on Nov. 29.
Piper Jaffray Cos. analyst Michael Olson suggests that Sony may be able to meet these targets. In
a comment
, he predicted that Sony would sell at least 3 million PS4s this holiday season. That would mean Sony would only need to sell 2 million consoles in Q1 2014 to meet its goal.
II. Sony Gets Aggressive Price Wise
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) CEO and President Andrew House bragged to
that the PS4 has "a more attractive price" than the Xbox One, or the Sony console's own predecessor, the PS3. The Xbox One retails for $499 USD; the PS4 retails for $399 USD. The PS3 debuted in two differents SKUS -- one with a 20 GB hard disk drive (HDD) ($499 USD) and one with a 60 GB HDD ($599 USD).
Despte the aggresive pricing, Sony predicts that the PS4 -- which will initially be sold at a loss -- will achieve profitability "significantly sooner"
than the PS3 did
. (Microsoft
hopes to make a profit on each console sold from day one
, thanks to its higher price point.) Sony's PS3 took roughly two years to achieve profitability, finally making money for Sony
in Q3 2008
. Afterwards form factor shrinks, yet again plunged it back into losses, until late 2009 when it appeared to
finally become profitable for good
Sony will take a small loss on the PS4 at launch, but the Xbox One will make a profit from day one, thanks to a higher price. [Image Source: Heavy]
Mr. House
at the Tokyo Game Show, "[Switching from custom components like the CELL processor to PC components] has enabled us to reduce the scale of investment significantly, massively so in comparison to the PS3."
Mr. House was asked about Microsoft's recent announcement that it was working on
"hundreds" of TV show ideas
, in addition to the
show it has already committed to. Mr. House says that Sony could eventually offer up similar exclusive TV series or miniseries content to the PlayStation Network's 150 million+ subscribers, but when asked if anything was coming this year he clarified, "I don't think we are going to push the market."
It sounds like Sony is content to rely primarily on games to try to push the PS4 to the 5 million consoles sales mark in November and over the four following months.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

At the highest level, dwellings are classified as private or non-private. A private dwelling accommodates a person or a group of people, but is not available to the public. Included are: houses, flats, and apartments; residences attached to a business or institution; baches, cribs and huts; garages; caravans, cabins and tents; vehicles; vessels; or dwellings of the above types that are under construction.
All other dwellings are non-private and are available to the public. They may be available for use either generally, or by virtue of occupation or study, special need, or legal requirement. Such dwellings may have facilities (such as a dining room) which are for shared use. These dwellings include: hotels and motels; guest houses and boarding houses; hostels; public and private hospitals; homes for the elderly; educational, welfare, religious and charitable institutions; prisons and penal institutions; defence establishments; work camps, staff quarters and seasonal quarters; motor camps; and other communal dwellings. If this type of accommodation includes units that are designed for the exclusive use (temporarily) of one or more people, the units are considered to be part of the non-private dwelling and not separate non-private dwellings. Private residences that are attached to non-private dwellings are, however, considered to be separate private dwellings.

I received the sample and loved the feel of this moisturizer and it did a good job as a sunscreen. Most of all, I loved the smell! It was so light and fresh. I loved it so much that I ordered the full size product but was disappointed because the product did not smell the same. It smelled a little 'off' or 'old'. It still works well and feels nice...just doesn't smell as good and that's really what drove me to purchase it.2

BBC Review
A polished debut full of gloom and grunge from a 21-year-old on the rise.
Mike Haydock 2012
"Are you ready for the next big thing?" sings 21-year-old Hannah Clark on Tyrant Song, the hardest and rockiest cut on this debut album. Grunge riffs power away behind her, and there's no doubt about it: her question is wickedly rhetorical.
This debut is a polished pop gem that could elevate Clark into the mainstream. Her template is simple but effective: cribbing a delicious gloominess from Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails, and sugar-coating it with catchy choruses. One of the songs here, The Black Lodge, is named after a fictional setting in David Lynch's Twin Peaks – and Clark tries to draw that Lynchian sense of uncertainty and unpredictability, of things lurking in the shadows, into her pop structures. The result is reminiscent of Howling Bells, and it's no surprise to find out that Dan Grech-Marguerat, who produced the Australian band's Radio Wars album of 2009, is behind the mixing desk for Bad Dream Hotline. His signature is all over it.
As well as Tyrant Song, Get Money and Genie in a Coke Can are the obvious radio hits-in-waiting, both edging close to glam rock as they stomp from the speakers, and both carrying a message. "Get money, die young, live fast, die young, get money, get numb, get numb, get numb," Clark sings on the former, apathy and anger filling her voice. On Genie in a Coke Can – note the sly nod to/dig at Christina Aguilera – a spoken, mocking middle-eight spouts: "I want all the men to salivate when they see me, I want, I want, I want…"
Morally at least, it's a step up from Rihanna. But does she have the songs to emulate that pop siren's success? Not yet: for every Get Money there's a Jailhouse, a song that lacks the essential sparkle to make it remarkable. But as far as debuts go from 21-year-olds, this is hugely promising, and it would be no surprise at all if Foe found herself all over the radio by the end of 2012.
