(( cole and guardboats
the USS Cole and the hundreds of navy, FBI and private contract personnel who have come into Aden as a result of the attack on the ship have already been on a high state of alert. The Cole itself is guarded by small boats, carrying armed marines.

(offshore )

as many of the us personnel as possible are staying on the small but powerful fleet of navy warships being kept just offshore here to minimize their exposure. ...and that of thousands of crew members and marines already on board the ships. But there is also a sizable contingent staying at a hotel in the middle of Aden that is being guarded by marines and troops from the Yemeni army.
a bomb making house
the fact that the bombers of the Cole are now suspected of having used a network of safe houses and other sights around Aden have led investigators to conclude that this was a large scale sophisticated operation. But they are unsure if any of those involved in the attack might still be in or around Aden and therefore still a threat.
on camera
the complex nature of this operation has investigators here still working on the theory that only osama bin lauden has the resources, the know now, and the network of contacts necessary to have pulled this off. But thus far the case against him is largely circumstantial. Lacking the one thing the investigators need to link bin lauden to this attack...ironclad evidence.

[SUPER=03-Bedford Co./April]

Volunteers tested more than 450 streams across the state last spring to determine if the waterways were still contaminated from acid rain.
While a few of the streams showed a slight improvement in water quality, the acid levels were getting- worse in the rest.
That's cut the state's brook trout population.
Officials say the new numbers suggest that the 1990 Clean Air Act is not doing enough to protect the nation's ecosystem from pollution.

More than a dozen guns were seized by Roanoke police last week from the man suspected of poisoning dogs along Memorial Avenue.

[SUPER=03-Roanoke/Friday]

According to the search warrant return filed yesterday, James William Bowers kept an arsenal that included a 9- millimeter (Rooger) Ruger, a .357-Magnum, an automatic rifle and a pellet rifle... 14 guns in all.
Bowers was once convicted of assault and ordered to surrender all firearms.
Police obtained the warrant based on information from neighbors who said Bowers had shot at their dogs- -or threatened to- -before.
In addition to the guns and ammo, police seized a container of anti-freeze and some hamburger from Bowers' home.

They believe Bowers set meat out in neighbors' yards to entice the dogs, and that the meat was laced with anti-freeze.

Prospective homeowners along Leesville Lake may not know the water level is unpredictable.

[SUPER=03-Campbell Co.;]
The lake rises and falls by up to 13 feet, with no pattern or warning. That's because the dam pumps water in and out of Leesville Lake to make electricity. So new homeowners must build floating docks and pay extra to protect their shoreline. And boaters may not expect the changes in depth.
