## GENERAL INFORMATION

- Operator:		Jim Walter Resources, Inc.
- Mine:		No. 7 Mine
- Accident Date:	October 12, 2006
- Classification: 	Fall of Roof
- Location: 		Dist. 11, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama
- Mine Type: 	Underground Coal Mine
- Employment:	491
- Production:	10,000 Tons/Day

## ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION

- On October 12, 2006 a 56-year old Special Projects Manager, with 32 years total mining experience, was fatally injured in an underground roof fall. The rock that separated from the roof and struck the victim measured 83-inches long x 43-inches wide x 7-inchesthick, and had a roof bolt through one end which failed at or near the anchorage point. The victim was checking ventilation controls in anticipation of increasing fan ventilation pressure in the area, and was in an area of the mine that had prior roof falls and deteriorating roof conditions, affecting the immediate roof and installed support.

- Hydraulic Oil Puddle

## ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

_*Root Cause*_: The immediate mine roof and installed roof support had deteriorated over time, resulting in hazardous roof conditions in the area traveled by the victim. Adequate precautions to eliminate the hazard were not taken.
_*Corrective Action*_: The mine operator installed additional standing support in the area of the fall to make the immediate area safe for the investigation. All entrances to the accident site area were timbered off with danger signs posted to keep miners from entering the areas of unsafe roof.

## ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS

**§104(a) Citation, **No.** **7689677: Issued to Jim Walter Resources, Inc., No. 7 Mine for violation of §75.202(a)
- The operator failed to adequately support or otherwise control the roof to protect persons from hazards related to falls.
- On October 12, 2006, while inspecting and working on ventilation controls, a miner received fatal injuries when a piece of roof rock fell from the brow of a prior roof fall, striking the victim on the head, back, and lower body. The mine roof in this area and adjacent entries had prior roof falls and deteriorating roof conditions from the time of its initial development in November of 1980. Additional measures were needed to protect persons working or traveling in the area from this hazard.

## BEST PRACTICES
Take extra precautions when traveling in older mine areas, paying particular attention to deteriorating roof conditions. 
Thoroughly examine the roof, face and ribs, immediately before starting any work, including traveling and routine observations. 
Remain alert for changing roof conditions.

## Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality – Clinical Issues in its Use in Validation of Surrogates

- Peter C. Albertsen, MD
- Farmington, CT

## Problem:  Accurate assessment of cause of death is important for

- Determining clinical outcomes
- Calculating cause-specific survival rates
- Calculating population based mortality rates

## How is this done?

- Review of medical records
- Review of death certificate
- Interview family or other care givers

## How are Death Certificates Used?

- Information on death certificates is coded using ICD 9 - CM terminology

## How are Mortality Rates Calculated?

- A computer algorithm reviews the ICD 9 codes and determines the “official” cause of death
- The number of prostate cancer deaths is tabulated
- The total number of deaths is divided by the standard population at risk to determine a rate per 100,000

## How is Cause of Death Determined in Large Clinical Trials

- Cause of death committee
- Members from different specialties
- Review medical records
- Ideally should follow an algorithm
- Cause of death determined by consensus
- This process currently used by
- EORTC trial
- PLCO trial

## How Well Do Death Certificates Agree with Medical Record Review?

- Agreement in 87%-92% of cases involving medical record review
- Agreement in 80% of cases when following ICD-9 coding rules
- Disagreements in medical record review were equally likely to favor prostate cancer or another competing medical hazard

## Disagreements Usually Occur if

- A man has more than one cancer
- Men with prostate cancer also develop lung cancer or colon cancer.  It can be difficult to determine which cancer leads to the death
- A man also has significant heart disease
- The ICD-9 coding rules give greater weight to cancer than heart disease when listed on a death certificate

## Summary

- An explicit protocol for determining cause of death is mandatory for any clinical trial that relies on cause-specific survival as the endpoint
- Two approaches can be utilized
- Review of medical records by a committee blinded to the treatment assignment
- Death certificates processed using the ICD-9 coding rules

## Temperature effects on borosilicate glass structure

- Jonathan F. Stebbins, Stanford University, DMR 0404972

**Ca aluminoborosilicate**
**           “****E-glass”**

- Oxide glasses rich in silicon, boron, and aluminum are widely used in high-tech materials from fiber composites to liquid-crystal computer display screens. Their atomic-scale structures must change a lot with temperature, in ways that affect their physical properties greatly, but little is known about these changes.
- We are using high-resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to detect and quantify such changes. We have recently shown for a typical glass composition that higher temperature promotes the conversion of borons with 4 oxygen neighbors to borons with 3 oxygen neighbors, plus the formation of a “non-bridging” oxygen. Although long hypothesized, this is the first time that the details of this reaction have been so directly documented.

## Structure and properties of oxide glasses: 

- career development for the high-tech materials industry
- Jonathan F. Stebbins, Stanford University, DMR 0404972

- Our program trains students with diverse backgrounds in the science of oxide glass structure and properties. Three recent examples include T.J. Kinczenski, who finished his Ph.D. in Spring of 2005 and has gone on to a career in the research lab of Corning, Inc.; Lin-Shu Du, who was supported in this program as a postdoc and who left in early 2006 for a research position at a chemical company developing amorphous materials for the electronics industry (as well as many other products); and Jingshi Wu, a talented young woman with a mineralogy background who is interested in high-tech oxide materials and who is currrently working in our Ph.D. program.

## The Reorganization of World Trade

- A Framework for Asking Questions
- William Gruben
- Vice President &
- Director, Center for Latin American Economics

## No matter what kinds of countries we are talking about −

- Agriculture’s share of exports falls
- Minerals’ share of exports falls

## Slide 3

## Slide 4

## Slide 5

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## If Mineral and Agricultural Exports Are Down, What’s Up?

- Manufacturing
- Transition to production that requires more education, which has positive aspect in and of itself
- Back in the 1950s, economic development theorists thought the shift from primary products to light industry was the route to long-term growth − but not like this

## Slide 10

## Slide 11

## A Question Some People Forget to Ask

- Does trade have more than efficiency and wealth effects?
- Is there a downside from all of this manufacturing?
- Child labor?
- School Dropouts?
- Business cycle booms and crashes?

## The complicated phenomenon of fragmentation

- The big increases in trade that we have seen in the last two decades has largely been intra-industry trade
- This suggests fragmentation
- Part of a product is produce in country A, sent to country B for more processing, sent to country C for more and then back to country A
- Business cycle effects

## Mathematics is cumulative.

- Properly done, the topics in each year depend on the topics covered in previous years.
- When one fails to take this cumulative nature into account, the study of mathematics degenerates into a relatively meaningless list-making and memorization of unconnected factoids – something particularly damaging for weaker students.

**Notes:**
Figure 1.1 Comparison of DNA typing technologies.  Forensic DNA markers are arbitrarily plotted in relationship to four quadrants defined by the power of discrimination for the genetic system used and the speed at which the analysis for that marker may be performed.  Note that this diagram does not reflect the usefulness of these markers in terms of forensic cases.

**Notes:**
Figure 1.3 Comparison of the DNA profiles for two individuals obtained with multiple short tandem repeat (STR) markers.  STR length variation at unique sites on 10 different chromosomes are probed with this DNA test to provide a random match probability of approximately 1 in 3 trillion.  A gender identification test also indicates that the top sample is from a male while the bottom sample is from a female individual.  These results were obtained from a spot of blood the size of a pin head in less than 5 hours. The DNA size range in base pairs is shown across the top of the plot.  Results from each DNA marker are indicated by the letters A-J.

## Lessons from the First Case Involving DNA Testing

- Describes the first use of DNA (in 1986) to solve a double rape-homicide case in England; about 5,000 men asked to give blood or saliva to compare to crime stains
- Connection of two crimes (1983 and 1986)
- Use of DNA database to screen for perpetrator (DNA only done on 10% with same blood type as perpetrator)
- Exoneration of an innocent suspect
- DNA was an investigative tool – did not solve the case by itself (confession of accomplice)

- A local baker, Colin Pitchfork, was arrested and his DNA profile matched with the semen from both murders. In 1988 he was sentenced to life for the two murders.
