Civil rights groups had hoped to
block what will be the city's first
municipal elections since Hurricane
Katrina -- because they believed
displaced residents' voting rights
would be violated.

However, a federal judge ordered
the elections to proceed -- and for
parish officials to make sure everyone
has an opportunity to vote.

Election officials set up special
polling places in Houston, Dallas,
Atlanta -- and even as far away as

14-10 as four Virginia Tech
quarterbacks combined to complete 17 of
26 passes for 217 yards and two
touchdowns in the Hokies spring game
this afternoon.

But as Mike Stevens explains,
Frank Beamer and his staff, don't
appear any closer to naming a starter

under center.

Later, Chaz Carlson goes to work
and picks up another hard earned goal
and Roanoke was rolling. *CG final Guilford

Russian piglets trained to run,
swim and play ball took part in the
third annual Pig Olympics, held at an
exhibition center near Moscow.

During the short-distance running
race, coaches had to run behind the

pigs to keep them on track.

Another event was a game called
*porkball,* where teams of piglets
played with a ball covered in fish oil.

*Pig Swimming* is a new event
this year.

But the animals seemed more
interested in bumping into each other
than staying in their lanes.
