TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va., Jan 3 (Reuters) - One body has been found in the West Virginia mine some 36 hours after an explosion trapped 13 miners, a Red Cross volunteer said.

Tamila Swigler said the body had not been identified and that rescuers had not yet located the remaining 12 miners. Officials had reported poisonous gas in the mine.

3. A little robot in the mine
is that all the federal government has to offer to ensure productive and safe working environments for a major source of our country's energy?

Excuse me for being offended at the complete lack of national energy management infrastructure.

4. W's Mine Safety Bureaucrat is a political hack like Brownie.
Less business regulation, more voluntary compliance, etc.

No, I don't want to hear Bush's prayerful thoughts about this. It's more about the corporate wallet. Employees be damned.
