Interstate 81 may be the most fatal highway in the state according to police and highway officials.
It stands out because highway fatalities are down statewide. Last year was the deadliest in a decade for the 148 mile stretch of road between Wythe and Rockbridge counties. The fatality rate this year is on pace to match 1998's toll. Twenty-six people died last year along the stretch and with five months left this year, at least 16 people have died.

One person is allegedly counting change stolen from a pay phone, another photo is captioned as a person breaking into an ATM machine. Other concertgoers are show allegedly fueling fires, and playing on downed sound equipment.

Police say they've received about 40 e-mails in response.
The associated press, which owns the rights to several of the pictures, is protesting their use without permission.

It's one way to clear the courtroom in Colorado. Soon lawyers won't have visit the courthouse to file a lawsuit, they can do it over the Internet.
Judges will be able to e-mail their orders and decisions. It's the first statewide internet-court system in the country... officials say it's an experiment... whether it spreads to other states will depend on how well it works here.

A piece of Internet history is about to disappear. The Cleveland Free-net came online in the 80's, and helped spark the Internet craze that led to web sites and chat-rooms. The old, text-based system will be unplugged at the end of September because it is NOT Y2K compliant.

Mike Weddington is a world champion wake boarder.
He gets paid to compete and perform demonstrations.
But on this day he's coaching members of the Smith Mountain Lake Water Ski Club.
For David Prillaman it was a chance to perfect a trick he's been working on for months but never been able to hit.

Noodling is an acquired sport with a little kick and a lot of bite!

It's the sport of catching snapping turtles.. before they catch you! And this father and son duo immerses themselves in this uncommon pastime. You have to be careful to get them by their tails, because if you don't the turtles will. Make no mistake about it, these guys bite. But there is a reward to hunting these snappy creatures, they produce half of their body weight in white meat.
