You may see this on bargain sites and forums across the internets today, so we ware mentioning it here as a false-alarm alert. We hate to be Debbie-Downers, but it's better to be disappointed early than late :)
One of the listings generating some excitement at Amazon today is what appears to be an Olympus E20 for $15 . That's what the title suggests. However, when you page-down to the "Product Description", you will discover that this is actually just a battery for the Olympus E20.
If you need a battery for the E20 that's good news! Hopefully they will fix the title of that product listing so people don't get excited that they are going to get an old but solid digital camera for just $15!

Nine workers remain hospitalized Friday, four in critical condition with burns over 10 to 40 percent of their bodies, as the result of an explosion and fire Wednesday morning at US Steel’s Clairton coke works, in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area.
In total, 20 workers were injured in the blast that occurred at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Clairton’s B batteries. Workers were performing maintenance work when fumes from the coke battery ignited. The force of the explosion twisted steel beams and blasted down block walls. Parts of walls and pipes were strewn over a wide area. It took fire crews until nearly 3 p.m. to extinguish the resulting blaze.
Workers standing a few feet from the explosion site were enveloped in a fireball, Allegheny County’s Emergency Management Chief Robert Full said. The workers wear fireproof clothing, boots and hardhats on the job. Official say that some of the fireproof uniforms were burnt through.
Three workers were taken to the burn unit at West Penn Hospital, one by air; they are suffering from severe burns to the head, neck and face. Six of the injured were taken to UPMC Mercy with burns to their faces and extremities. Six others were taken to UPMC Presbyterian and one is being treated at UPMC McKeesport.
