GRAPHIC=Carbon Monoxide Lead Carbon monoxide is hard to detect

because it is has no taste and no
smell. Severe poisoning cases can
affect the central nervous system and
the heart.

If you wonder just how bad a case this
incident appears to be, consider these
numbers.

ENG#=4 VO-NAT

VO-NAT When the gas is measured at 25 parts
NO SUPER per million, that's considered unsafe.

When officials first tested the air
inside the affected building today, it
registered at 500 parts per million.

That means the air in the building
contained 20 times the level of carbon
monoxide that is considered unsafe.

carbon monoxide leak at Roanoke College
killed a man.

*CG locator Salem
July 2006 He was staying in one of the
college's residence halls for a church
conference.

100- others at the conference
were sent to the hospital.

A little more than a month later
Roanoke College had another leak...
this time at a fraternity house.

The Virginia Department of
Housing is taking a look at requiring
detectors in apartments and dorms...

Earlier this year Virginia
lawmakers killed a bill that would have
required all public and private
colleges to install carbon monoxide
detectors in any building at risk for a
leak.

The year before, lawmakers killed
a separate bill that would have
required detectors in all rental
properties in Virginia- at risk of a
leak.

safely.

The Ivy Lane neighborhood does

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor is to Redshirt
this season. But that can always
change with an injury or Taylor's

put him on the field.

The benefits of being able to
learn for a season without the
pressures of playing are especially
beneficial at the Q-B position.

(MATT RYAN:)

The balance of red-shirting
talented Freshman for their first
season and trying to win games is
different throughout the A-C-C.

Warthogs vs. Avalanche We pick it up in the bottom of :00 the 4th. The Avs trailed 4-zip, when
Pat Osbourn slaps one to right field
for a single to plate Mitch Einertson
to get Salem on the board.

Still in the 4th. Orlando
Rosales delivers a base knock, and the
right fielder can't make a play, so
Osbourn raced in on the error to make
it 4-2.

Just a few batters later, Jose
Lopez cranks a gapper to left
centerfield.
