Saturday Firefigters plan to set controlled
backfires on 250 acres to help contain
the fire.

They hope to have it 100 percent
contained by tomorrow, but it could be
several weeks before it's fully
extinguished.

So far, it's consumed almost 37-
hundred acres.

It's been a scary couple of days for
people who live near the fire. Lynn

GRAPHIC=Radford University The head volleyball coach at Radford

University has resigned.

Jerry Pruitt say he is resigning to
deal with a chronic illness.

This was Pruitt's second stint as
coach.

He served as head coach during the
19-99 and 2000 seasons, leading the
Highlanders to two appearances in the
Big South Championship game.

Pruitt returned in March of this
year.

In a release today, he said the
physical, mental and emotional stress
triggered the undisclosed illness.

Radford's Athletic Director Greig
Denny said the University was saddened
at Pruitt's departure and wished him a
quick recovery.

(END SOT) << In the State of Virginia when you

think of the most talented football
prospects your mind will most always
drift towards the beach and the
Tidewater area. That part of the
Commonwealth year in and year out is
hotly contested on the recruiting trail
and is a priority for all the colleges
in-state, including Virginia Tech.
That is one of the main reasons that
Frank Beamer hired Curt Newsome.

(NEWSOME BITE:)

The Hokies hired Newsome from
James Madison which was his first
College Coaching Job and where he first
had to recruit.

(MATTHEWS BITES:)

One recruiting tool that helped
Newsome nab 18 in-state player for
J-M-U this past signing period was the
Dukes new Football facility the
Pleckner Center which has now been open
for almost an entire year.

(MATTHEWS BITE:)

Both Newsome's current and former
team open the 2-thousand and 6 season
on September 6th. Between now and
then, recruiting for both. Grant

The little bundle was born at an

But the big question on a lot of

No pictures of baby Suri just yet...for
now... her stroller will have to

do. It was delivered to the Beverly
Hills home of Tom Cruise and Katie

Holmes following the birth of their
daughter on Tuesday. She weighed in

at 7 pounds...7 ounces and is 20 inches
long. The name Suri means

princess in Hebrew and Red Rose in
Persian.

Everyone is said to be doing well, but
no details of the delivery are

available. The birth had been planned
to take place as a "silent"

procedure under the tenants of the
Church of Scientology...which is the

religion of both Cruise and Holmes.

Scientologists believe words spoken

while in pain can cause potential
problems for mother and daughter.

sot: Jess Cagel/People Magazine: Editor

at Large

(Karen Brown Standup bridge)

There's an ironic twist to this
story....Suri was born on the same day

actress Brook Shields gave birth to her
second daughter.

(track)

Shields and Cruise had a very public
feud last year after he criticized

the actress for taking anti-depressants
following the birth of her

daughter. Shields fired back...calling
Cruise's remarks a quote

"ridiculous rant."

This is the first child for the 27 year
old Holmes while Cruise has 2

kids from his marriage to Nicole
Kidman. The 43 year old Hollywood

super-star proposed to Holmes atop the
Eiffel Tower...but no wedding

date has been released.
