Friday A college spokesperson says in a
statement the school installed the
alarms in several of its residence
halls -- as a temporary safety measure
while waiting for a more permanent
system.

One person remains in stable
condition at Lewis-Gale hospital, but
is improving.

And upward bound students who
were on campus during the incident
returned today.

The students were moved into
different residence halls for the

arguably the best rookie in Nextel Cup,
finishing the season with 2 wins, but
he wound up 20th in points, with as
many bad results as good. Today, the
21 year old took a serious step towards
making the Chase at New Hampshire.

TNT Pole sitter Ryan Newman is great :00 in qualifying, but doesn't do well in
crowds. Newman moved up the racetrack,

spinning the leader, Tony Stewart at
lap 91 to bring out the yellow.

But just seven laps later,
Newman was on the receiving end of a
Michael Waltrip shove as the 12 car
ended up in the fence.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s day came
to a premature end when the 8 blew an
engine at lap 135.

Waltrip and Robby Gordon
tangled under caution with 3 laps to go
setting up a green,white, checkers
finish.

Kyle Busch got away on the
final restart and beat Carl Edwards to
the checkered flag,as Elliott Sadler
and Denny Hamlin ran out of fuel while
running in the top five. It's Busch's
first win of the season, and third of
his career moving him to 4th in the
points.

OLN Stage 14 of the Tour de France :00 turned ugly today about 25 miles from
the finish in the foothills of the
Alps.

David Canada and Rik Verbrugghe
lost control of their bikes on a right
hand turn, crashing, sending both
riders to the hospital. German rider
Mathias Kessler then plowed into Canada
and over a safety barrier. Canada
suffered a broken collarbone while
Verbrugghe broke his leg and sustained
a laceration on his left arm.

Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo won
the stage. Spain's Oscar Pereiro is

still the overall leader.
