The next time you go to a concert at the Roanoke Civic Center, you'll most likely have to buy and drink alcohol in a beer garden.
You won't be able to consume it in the arena where the event is being held.

The House of Delegates and state Senate have approved competing versions of a new state budget that are radically different.
The Senate plan would substantially boost funding for public education, transportation and the environment.
House Republicans also muscled through a measure that provides nearly 9 billion dollars for public schools but strips millions from transportation and freezes the money used for local police agencies.

The attack traumatized Japan.just as the Oklahoma City bombing would

their country was no longer safe and free from terror. They learned
that thousands of bright young Japanese had converted to this fanatic
cult that sought to destroy the world they knew.

He promised a 30 percent return on investors' money, while investing only a small portion of the seven to 20 million dollars the government now estimates he took in.
Agents found Warren himself hiding in a crawl space beneath the house.
