like you know, putting a featherweight
into the ring with a heavyweight. You
wouldn't do that and out on the road,
these smaller, lighter cars are at a
disadvantage.

A DISADVANTAGE OF ABOUT 300 TO 800
POUNDS COMPARED TO SMALL AND MIDSIZE

THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY
SAFETY FOUND PASSENGERS ARE NOT GETTING
ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN MOST OF THE

the best choice to begin with.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, MINI DOES NOT
NECESSARILY MEAN MINIMIZING THE GAS
BILL. SOME OF THE BIGGER CARS ... EVEN
MIDSIZE VEHICLES LIKE THE HONDA ACCORD
... COMPARE WELL WITH THE MINI COOPER
FOR EXAMPLE. BOTH AVERAGE 34 MILES TO

THE INSTITUTE SAYS THE DEATH RATES IN

BOTH MIDSIZE AND LARGE CARS. SO THE
BIGGEST WARNING HERE IS TO PARENTS OF
TEENAGERS WHO ARE THE RISKIEST DRIVERS.

(bite - Lund/4408) It's a young person.
You get them a small car, but these

After a reporter noticed a bandage on
the first lady�s leg last night,

the White House acknowledged Laura Bush
had a malignant skin cancer

tumor removed from her right shin back
in early November.

A spokesperson for the First Lady says
it was squamous cell carcinoma.

It's the second most common form of
skin cancer.

(Video From: Cleveland Clinic)

The Cleveland Clinic's Doctor Justin
Woodhouse says it can easily be

treated if caught early.

(Sot: Dr. Justin Woodhouse/Cleveland
Clinic)

"they're usually slow growing and once
they're taken care of there's no

real problem with them long term."

(Sirgany Bridge)

When asked about why nothing was said
about the cancer, Mrs. Bush�s

press secretary said that the First
Lady considered this a private

matter.

But a few details have now been
revealed that Mrs. Bush noticed a sore

on her leg in late October that wasn�t
healing. A biopsy revealed the

tumor and right before Election Day, a
nickel-sized patch of skin was

removed using a local anesthetic.

The White House emphasized the cancer
was detected early and caught

early and that Mrs. Bush continued with
her schedule, totally

uninterrupted. Doctor�s point out Mrs.
Bush does not have melanoma,

which is the most dangerous form of
skin cancer.

(Sot: Dr. Justin Woodhouse/Cleveland
Clinic)

"melanoma tends to be more aggressive
than squamous cell skin cancer,

it's the one that of course everyone
fears the most."

The experts say 98 percent of the
patients who have the type of cancer

Mrs. Bush had, and get treated early,
recover with no further

complications.

It will replace the current jail which

When the state of the art facility
opens it will initially house more than
120 prisoners and have room to grow...

This Season Whitaker is in treatment for :00 alcohol-related issues, and will be in
rehab when the Hokies head South to
take on Georgia in the Chik-Fil-A Bowl.

In a statement, Whitaker says
he's come to the conclusion that he has
a problem and he needs to battle it
head-on immediately.

It goes on to say that he has
entered an in- patient program, and
hopes to emerge from that as a
stronger, better person.

Frank Beamer says he admires
Whitaker for seeking help. And that
he's confident there's going to be a
successful ending to Whitaker's story.
