Judge Redirects Malpractice Verdict in Bluefield
A three day malpractice trial over neurosurgeon Dr. Hillier ended when Judge Charles Haden II redirected the verdict for the defendant.

Federal Policy On Coal Criticized In Hearings
At a Pittsburgh hearing of the House Energy Committee subcommittee, lawmakers and union leaders condemned federal energy policy for shifting focus away from coal. Rep. Walgren urged broader federal effort to keep coal viable, while John Jarvis of the United Mine Workers warned that three decades of policy have weakened the economy and security. Rep. Mollohan warned sulfur emission limits could render the region noncompetitive, and Jim Scahill of the Pennsylvania Coal Mining Association cautioned Pennsylvania’s coal could hinge on sulfur content as the industry faces acid rain legislation.
