In Brief

Today’s Staggering Stat: If the federal government had simply divvied up the $127 billion it has spent so far on rebuilding New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina hit two years ago, each of the city’s residents would have had $425,000 cash in hand with which to buy a house and start life over somewhere else.

The Politico says:  John Warner to announce plans tomorrow

As part of pregame ceremonies remembering the April 16 campus shootings, Tech will amend its traditional entrance for the season opener against East Carolina and let the Pirates enter the stadium at the same time as the Hokies.
