...seafood, and the specialty of the house is shelled crayfish, deep-fried and topped with a cloyingly sweet, caramelized peppercorn sauce. Served with rice, it ought to be accompanied by Chinese water spinach, cooked in a chili-infused shrimp paste known as belachan. For dessert, go for the sago gula melaka, a mixture of boiled sago, warm coconut milk, palm sugar and shaved ice. The cost of an average dinner for two (without alcohol) is around $50, a modest tariff for food that is invariably sedap. That's Baba Malay for "delicious," and a word that will hopefully live...
...miners in a faster, quicker and safer way then we ought not to be engaging in mining where the risks are so great. We should not permit mining at that level of risk." Indeed, it was the long delay in getting to miners that caused 12 deaths in the Sago coal mine disaster in January 2006. In that case, there was no collapse, but rather an explosion in the West Virginia mine.

Still undergoing therapy at a rehab center in Morgantown, W.Va., McCloy--brain damaged from inhaling carbon monoxide for more than 40 hours--can walk with help and speaks well enough to ask for hamburgers, says family spokeswoman Aly Goodwin Gregg.
