CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Proposed rules that would allow more modern dust monitors in U.S. coal mines may be delayed by President Barack Obama's order requiring federal agencies to halt pending regulations while his administration reviews them.
Mine Safety and Health Administration spokeswoman Amy Louviere says the U.S. Department of Labor is working to identify rules affected by the directive and take necessary action.
MSHA proposed the coal dust monitor rule Jan. 16, four days before Obama took office. The proposal would set new criteria for government regulators to use when approving personal dust monitors for coal mines.
The industry now relies on 1970s vintage technology, which the government wants to replace.
Coal dust is a big issue in mining because it can cause black lung disease.

Posted By: graydon: Man, I wish these people who claim The United States OF America was formed as a christian nation would do a little research before making such outrageous statements,the facts are there it's no secret,it just didn't happen.I just can't understand why they can not be happy having the freedom to believe in whatever supernatural being/or beings they choose and not try to change history to suit their views.I feel being a good citizen is not trying to take our freedoms away from fellow citizens but stand up for their right to choose a path that may be different from yours or mine,one of our founding fathers said something about peoples beliefs,that it didn't matter to him what they did or did not believe for it neither picked his pocket or broke his bones.Good thinking then and now. Posted By: angie: To just me Donna: I AGREE COMPLETELY Posted By: To, Don I just wonder how many will take the picture thing serious.. Humm
Fact is maybe, Ari maybe, NO WAIT DANIELLE, Where the heck has Frank been latley?.: I went out of state to a hospital this past Monday,and THEY CHARGED SEVEN DALLORS.Like we were parking on Kings Island's lot BTW No parking spots were available to patients so you had NO CHOICE.Even better,did you know they charge now for Camden Parks lot? $8.00 parking lot fee $450.00 hand stamps for the entire crew. Picture of"little Mikey"on the Carosel Priceless-I guess if you think it is worth not eating for the next month to sit little Mikey on a plastic horse.HELLO PEOPLE that is why we have computers now. With this economy we sit our boys in the front yard in swimming trunks with shovels,pails,and shells.Get thier picture,run back in and find a scenic beach background.You do know that really works for children under four.AND HECK NO THAT IS NOT FAIR.THEY CHARGE PEOPLE 3,500 DALLORS FOR AN MRI,48,000 dallors FOR A TWO NIGHT STAY.NOW THEY CHARGE US TO BRING OURSELVES THIER.From now on I will hold them up make excucses,untill they get my car,then hand them my BC card!

I TOLD YOU!! Just in case your not the reader from this morning, look at post Jan 5:51am and look at the location bar on that comment. I got it, BABY!! Told ya so.. Told ya so. I know what that consists of..Ohh off the subject.. Sorry, I got a little side tracked Ari, I bet your UNEMPLOYED or cleaning the crap off the shoe, of a shoe shiner's costumer.. Posted By: donna: TO JUST ME: AMEN! Posted By: Don: Did anyone see that KDMC is charging for valet service now? $2 to park your car. What is everyone's thoughts. I think it a fair price. You have to pay for everything else. Posted By: Ann: Is anybody else sick of hospital commercials? Hospital charges are outrageous. These costs could be lowered if they didn't spend so much on advertising. Besides, does anybody really remember what hospital advertises what? It's a huge waste of money and a nuisance to television viewers. Posted By: Ari: yes I am a woman, and I went to Marshall and recieved a buisness degree. No i never said I was special , I have my problems just like evyeone else but I dont ask for sympothy or help when I bring it on myslef Posted By: just me: I have no problem with a black man or woman being the president of the U.S. If we are a nation for equality then this shouldnt be a problem with any of us unless you are racial. My concerns are that people are already saying that he is on the right track and he has only been in office 2 days, and it doesnt matter how good of president he is in the eyes of the liberals and the eyes of evey african american he will always be the best because of his views on liberalism and that he is a black man lets go back to what this country was founded on. And it was founded on the word of God. I didnt vote for this man not because of his color but because of the views that he stands for,but he is OUR president so I will pray that God will speak to his heart concerning our country and that God will guide him in the direction that this country needs to go. Posted By: Bet you can't guess who this is "Wasted". LOL- TO: ARI: Ari,I think you need to practice social skills, acting like that no one will take you serious.Pretty soon you will have to change your WSAZ screen name. People is going to get feed up and ignore you.Is it the hype of someone signing in,trashing you to the dogs?Not to mention they search out your name to do just that.Reread your comments first they are paragraphs,then it goes to a few sentences of hyper- tension,and now we are at your one sentence comments,trying to prove you are sain.Marshall is an equal,non discriminating school,they take the mentally challenged as well as the "Norms".Check out all thier programs and just what Marshall has to offer
Do not try and convience us,you are"special"in that type of way,when we all know your"special"in the other.Tell us EXACTLEY what classes you took,so we will all better understand,and give you the "Special" treatment you deserve.Ari, us adults are talking you need to hush, and go play... Good GIRL!
Posted By: To Ari: I was shocked to see that you posted that you are a woman, after all the comments that you have posted on this website, I thought for sure that you had to be a man. Posted By: To: ARI-
Ari,I defended you and your spelling topic.It was so sad,to scroll down to the bottom and read your comment.When you speak,you are speaking to EVERYONE,as a whole.I get NO help,I have applied.I am a young mother,that recieved BAD NEWS.I am 30and I have worked since15.My husband works so hard,but the medical bills are pileing up,along with traveling out of town.If help does not come,I will NEVER tell my kids they are hungry because I am a loser. They WILL EAT and I WILL die,if it comes to that.I will tell them to make a difference!What does it matter if someone is married or not?Life's dish is NOT,on the same"China"you eat off.I am really sorry you have not researched the other side.The other side prays that they will have enough medicine,so they can hear thier kids laugh once again.It is so different how you look at the world when are close to losing it.People WERE wrong in critizing you,and I would back you again.No matter if you can see them,they can they can still make you cry. Posted By: a citizen: To the Marine who flew his flag at full mast yesterday upside down: Please don't protect my country-your bigoted attitude does not defend this country. It attacks and degrades it from within. Now is the time to work together to make this country strong again not to drag us down with dated ideals. We are one nation not a nation of division-we are all in this together. Posted By: jess: here's a few thoughts for both sides of the gun control issue...If people kill, not guns, who defends one's home? Guns or people. Remember this also. When next you open you next NRA issue or similar publication, compare the amout of text devoted to ads supporting the 2nd amendment and ads for gun manufacturers to the amount reserved for gun safety. there is a big defference. And yes, I do read these publications. These groups and the like support commerce more than they do constitution. I have never heard of common sense being for sale, or that surgery or jail time fixes that common human problem either. Quit hiding behind this and wasting oxygen debating the issue and take a little responsibility for a change. Posted By: To Joe: First of all, Obama is not "part Muslim" ilke you are "part Indian," because Muslim (Islam) is a religion, not an ethnicity. Secondly, the majority of people on here just PROVE why West Virginia has a bad reputation. The spelling and grammar on here is atrocious, and the small-mindedness is even worse. It's like you're trying to brag "Oh MY people were more repressed," "No, it was MY people who were..." Guess what, most of you, myself included, who are part Native American, look like every other white person walking around. You personally are not discriminated against (unless it's because of your lack of education). Whether you want to believe it or not, minorities ARE still discriminated against every day. I'm not saying everyone discriminates against them, but yes, some people are ignorant enough to judge someone by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character. Posted By: : What's this i hear bout Obama being on the sides of gays? I mean i read something where he supposedly said "they will get treated equal" i understand EVERYONE should get treated equal, but do gay people REALLY believe that he's going to "fight" for them? he has more on his plate right now than what gay people want. And im not meaning this in a mean way, I dont believe in gay marriage, but like i said he is for EVERYONE not just gays and gay people think he's going to do something miraculous for them....I have nothing against gay people, i have gay friends, i just dont believe in gay people getting "married" besides marriage is defined as a man and woman coming together as one, so gay marriage
Posted By: Greg: Has anyone ever heard of just which brands of peanut butter have been effected in the salmonella outbreak?If it's just generic brands who are they and where are they sold at.I myself haven't heard any brands mentioned on tv or even on the FDA website either so any info would be a great help.I also thought that the FDA required makers of food products to list the maker of the products instead of who the distributer is which I found to be the case on all peanut butter jars that I have so how can I find out who makes what that is on out store shelves.. Posted By: Lisa: To Joe, I couldn't agree more with you! I started watching some of the inaugeration and got so turned off by the media making a huge thing about race. And then for so many of the ones they interviewed would talk about what this would mean to their forefathers. I am SICK to death about hearing about how "oppressed" the blacks are...it isn't our fault what happened to their forefathers! I am so against and sorry for what happened to them, but IT IS NOT MY FAULT! As a matter of fact MY forefathers (Cherokee and Choctaw) were MORE oppressed and are still the MOST mistreated. Some would say even should have the most rights since they were here first..but i don't agree..i think ALL should be equal..REGARDLESS. So until we come to a point where the Native American has equality in ALL things we as a nation are failing the ones we owe the most too! Joe, if you start an alumni consider me joined! By the way..i have mixed Grandkids and an AWESOME black son-in-law so don't even say i am racist! Posted By: larry: hahaha Just listen to yourself's Posted By: Joe: Glad to know someone agrees with me because I am not racist at all but I am sick of double standards in the black and white thing if people truly want the racist issue to go away then they need to stop having so many racist things like a black beauty contest where white people can not join but yet if they was such a thing as a white beauty contest and only white people could be in it they would be so much yelling over it,but yet they can have a black beauty contest and nothing is said, I am sorry that they was slaves but I didn't do it, I am part indian and nobody talks about how many indians was killed. Posted By: Ari: did you hear on the news yesterday after Obama gave his speech that whoever was up next his first words were from the Negro National Anthem-1st off why would you do that and 2nd why do they need there own anthe? yYou guys are right, most black people are more racist towards whites then the other way around, they need to drop it with the slavery thing and african american, you are american and slavery is over and donw with there was bad things that happened to all different ethnic people Posted By: Sophie: I was very pleased with the presentation of the historical events we witnessed yesterday. It was carried out with much consideration for all Americans, and with a sense of class and dignity that I've not known to be put forth by any political event. Aside the obvious historical "firsts" for this President,it is the hope that America is again moving forward that makes this a gleeful celebration. It is hard for me to fathom that someone of my own age is now the President; but in knowing this, it is a comfort as he has experienced my generation firsthand, and can see the mistakes of the past no longer have to keep us from a better future. Of course he is only a man, and he will make mistakes not unlike others before him. Let us each examine ourselves to see what positive changes choices we can make to keep America what we know it to be - the best country on earth; Land of the Free and home of the Brave. Posted By: A Marine: An international sign of distress is for a state, fort/post or embassy to fly it's nation's flag full staff but upside down. Yesterday, 20 Jan 2009 at noon, my flag was upside down. God help the United States. Posted By: Ari: I went to Marshall and say what you want I could care less if you think I can spell or not, you can understand me enough Posted By: to c.j.: for displaying a conferate flag c.j.you say this is unchristain but you proudly voted for a man who believes the slaugher of unborn babies,believes in infanticide.on judgement day i prefer stand by the man with the flag,not because i believe in it,but believe god can educate him if god knows its wrong.how do you convince an evil person that the taking of any human life is wrong?????????you cant if you are so arrogant that you know more than god almighty.!!!!!!!!! Posted By: to joe: believe it or not,joe is right.if a white person would throw a white party they would be called racist by black people.i dont know where you were educated but schools have been intergrated for decades.every child was taught in the same class.teachers could ignore every one but the black children,they would have been reprimanded if they had.and yet the same old racist crap never dies its always,every bodies fault.i have no guilt,feel no guilt,when it comes to slavery,my family could only afford themselves.it time people speak up about this reverse racism.nobody speaks up about the 10s of thousandsof white soldiers who died to free them,there is no appreciation hardly a memtion of these families sacrifice,somebody always owes them.if people would quit listening to the likes of jesse jackson,sharpton etc. who make their fortune off the mythe of racism .they would see a different america.each person is responsible for how their life is lived no matter what color of skin. Posted By: Rick: Most of you people need to get a life. Posted By: to c.j: you proudly voted for a man who believes in the slaugter of 50 million un born babies,who also believes in infanticide.a conferate flag offends you!!!!!!!!!!so goes our great country!!!! Posted By: Joe: Yes I was watching the news and I seen where they was having a obama party at the black alumni which is fine but I bet if they was a alumbi called the white alumni they would be something said about it, why is there this double standard, I know right now obama will fix things but this black thing how it's a miracle needs to be over and done with people wants the race issue to be gone but yet people keep on saying how a black man will be in power now if you really want to get technical he is part muslisum just like I am part indian it doesn't matter what color or your back ground just as long as the job get's done, people get over it and again I think I am going to start a alumni called the white alumni of huntington just to see what people would say, please post this I want to see what kind of response it get's because it's the truth a stink would be raised if they was a all white alumni "just saying it like it is" Posted By: ME: Hey Ari, just curious, what college did you attend? You seem to talk the talk but your educated self can't spell! Posted By: Donna: To Anon...please dnt take it personal about the big deal over a black President...it is in fact a huge deal...a great victory for the black race...something that they and every skin color should be proud of...its not about race its about the pride that all of us carry..to witness our first black Preseident...I am not racist either or black...but I am so proud that the country has come this far...and every person who has been discriminated against because of color had a reason to be proud today...ignorance no longer rules Posted By: To the "literate" ones..: Who gives a big CRAP,on spelling.This is so freaking old,PEOPLE!This has got to be the same people everytime,that do not know thier heads from,well you know the old saying.If you do not understand the issue,I am sure if you ask someone on here,they will be more than happy to explain,so you will understand the serious topics that concern us as a community.Think about it,we all went to the same schools.You should start a conversation pertaining to the FACT that some children get"swept under the rug".What makes you more gifted? OHH I know,you use "Spell check".Is that how you really get by?Let me ask you."What happens when you have to sign your name to a document with no computer or no spell check?" "You"the ones who DEPEND on spell check,definatly is not confident enough about thier own literacy, to be teasing anyone elses"Illiteracy".Did you know children who tease other children more than likely have an issue in thier lives and they are just tring to hide it, by humilating other kids? Posted By: To Anonymous on Jan 19, 2009 at 11:34 PM: If you love your kids so much, why did you make them with a person that is violent? Domestic violence isn't something that just shows up one day. Don't blame us for your poor judgment. You expect people to foot the bills for your mistakes and not have to face the responsibility for your irresponsibility. Posted By: Rob: Why do people keep referring to him as "the first black President"? His Mother and 2 of his Grandparents were white.....that does not make him the first black president, but he is president and for that I am thankful. It is about time we have a smart well spoken person to lead this country. Posted By: To Ari: What college did you graduate from, because you spell worse than my seven year old. Posted By: Anonymous: Just thought you should know: The County Court House needs more handicap parking spaces.Spaces are provide for the people who work there(alot of them can walk better than me) but what about the people who have go there and can't find a place close enough to park. This happened to me. I have asthma and can't walk very far without getting out of breath. Shame on the county and the city of Huntington for not providing more spaces. Posted By: To ari: Ari, You and some others on here need serious anger managment and therapy. I will not debate you, I know your type, I treat them every day Posted By: angie: I Have hopes that Obama will fix the problems of this country, and with all the news of people buying his bobble heads and things, I think he is boosting the economy already... Posted By: Ari: yes that's exactlly it I despise myself-in my colege eduated, good job, recently married , no kids, no debt life eveything just sucks that I took the time to do things the right way, no I dont have kids and I am a she not a he Posted By: RoaneCo.: Hey Little Mary Miss Perfect, you may want to get your spell check fixed! I believe it should have been often not ofter. Posted By: : I am so sick of hearing about the first black president! When are people going to realize racism isnt even a factor anymore! People are making such a big deal out of it and it's just making the nation sound MORE racist than it is! We arent our grandparents or the ancestors who were! I wish people would get over it! He's a man who is our president and I will honor that! However, I am just disgusted that racism is still being brought up. When it goes UN-NOTICED, is when racism will be over! God Bless Mr. Obama and I hope he does this nation well! *I am not racist by the way* Posted By: : Well, duh. I know why he used the word "breed". And there you go, lumping people into one big ol' stinky category. Do you personally know every single parent? Do you know everyone's reason for being single? Believe it or not, not every single parent is a "baby mill" that has no responsibility. I am a sinlge parent because I thought that would be better than staying with a man that beat the $#* out of me. What kind of lesson would that have taught my children? You can look down your noses, you can arrange a public stoning, I could care less. I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I read to my children every night, I help them with their homework, I go to church, I volunteer, I go to school, I go to work, I sacrifice daily so my children don't go without ANYTHING. So, you can continue to type your ugly, full of hate comments, and I will continue to teach my children to pray for people like you. God bless. Posted By: Cheryl: Oh Mary, how OFTER do you use spell check? LOL Posted By: O Mary?: he he--so much for your perfection on spell check....lol...maybe you should take your own advice instead of downing others. SOMETIMES what you post on these things, no matter how much you spell check, still come out wrong. Plus not everyone has the time to do spell check,...some of us actually work for a living and only have time to make a quick comment. I think the substance of the comment is way more important than the spelling at times. It's not like we're here to win any creative arts awards....but you go right ahead n s/c away....you're doing such a fine job of it! rofl Posted By: Mary: I love it E. I hate when people don't use spell check. I ofter make mistakes but I make sure I fix them before sending a letter or email. I have gotten letters from people and I wonder how they made it through school......... Posted By: To Anonymous: While I agree there are some good single parents, there are tons who are little more than "puppy mill" mommies. Posted By: E: Someone fixed the spelling mistake on the video player. Thanks! Posted By: To Anonymous on Jan 19, 2009 at 06:56 PM: I think the reason Ari and the other poster used "bred" is because the people in this situation typically take no responsibility, just like a stray that's not neutered. Let's have kids and expect society to pay for our total lack of self control or common sense. Posted By: CJ: Today while traveling in Boyd County south on State Route 3, I passed a home which displayed a huge Confederate flag on one side of the front door and an American flag on the other. This sent a whirl of emotions running within me as it suggested defiance at the inauguration of my President. I voted for Barack Obama, I am proud of that fact, and it gives me great pride to know that the majority of people in this country have made a conscious effort to view mankind irrelevant of color. There is no honor in supporting the issues of the old South, and there can be no claim of Christianity by those who support the condemnation of mankind because of race. I find great pleasure knowing that those with this asinine way of thinking are now becoming a minority. The Confederate flag is a part of this country's history, but there can be no integrity supporting what it represented. I will be watching the Obamas tomorrow as they begin their journey, and I wish them love, hope, and success! Posted By: E: I often read the comments that people post on here. My biggest pet peeve is improper spelling and punctuation. The comment at 11:57 am is just one example. Making fun of someone for the way they live and for not finishing school is not something that I want to read about. Especially when that comment is so horribly written. I am looking at four comments and each one has at least one spelling mistake. The video player on WSAZ.com even has a spelling mistake. Ingauration should be I-N-A-U-G-U-R-A-T-I-O-N ! Spell check, people, spell check ! Posted By: : So Ari, kids should be punished for the sins of the father, or mother? I honestly hope that you have no children, because I would hate to think that there would be other people in this world that would have the same values as you. Because someone needs help doesn't mean they have screwed up their life. You can't lump everyone into one category. It seems to me that you find joy in others people's suffering. Maybe you secrectly despise yourself, and you're just turning those feelings you have inward, outward. Do you need a hug, Ari? And by the way, animals are bred, not humans. Here's a hug for you Ari
Posted By: Donna: I think getting the children together for I have a dream speech is a great Idea....I dont like discrimination of any kind...I happen to be caucasion and honestly it is an embarrassmant to my race when someone shows thier ignorance in such a hateful way...I believe everyone should be treated equal Posted By: Ari: no I am not off and even if I was I wouldnt watch anything about it today and dont plan on watching the inaguration tomorrow Posted By: History n the Making: how about instead of the poll question 'are you off today for MLK day' you ask, IF your off today do you plan on gathering your children around the TV to watch his "I have a dream speech"? I think today would be a great day to help our children understand the importance of tomorrow's ignauguration (and some adults as well) Posted By: Ari: I was asking if you were married cuz if you werent then it's not my fault you dont have any help. WHoever posted that comment about people breeding with little thought was right on.People sleep around have 3 or 4 kids, by different people, dont finish school, have no love or anyone to help them then grips about it. it's your own fault, next time your kid is hungry tell them the real truth-that your a * and screwed up your own life along with theres
