CNN Student News - Apr. 23, 2007.doc

CHRISTINA PARK, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We're glad you're with us for the start of a new week of CNN Student News. I'm Christina Park. As the Virginia Tech community struggles to recover from last week's shootings, some students say they plan to come back to campus and finish out the semester. A tragic end to an aerial performance by the Navy's Blue Angels, as one of the team's pilots is killed in a crash. And your home may have an unlikely energy hog, but a group of companies is hoping to aid the planet by thinking green when it comes to computers.

First Up: Students Return

PARK: First up today, a decision to return. Virginia Tech is still recovering after last week's shootings. The president of the university has praised the college's faculty, staff and students for their ability to pull together after the tragedy, and is urging them to take care of one another. While classes are scheduled to resume on Monday, students have been given the option of withdrawing or taking their current grades without finishing the semester. But Gary Nurenberg met several Virginia Tech students who insist on going back.

LAUREN EMERY, VIRGINIA JUNIOR: Thank you so much for calling.

GARY NURENBERG, CNN REPORTER: Under the watchful eye of her mother and of her dog Matrix, Virginia Tech junior Lauren Emery spent part of the weekend checking email from professors planning for the last two weeks of class.

NURENBERG: She's among three Washington area students who tell CNN they'll return to Virginia Tech for the resumption of classes on Monday despite the school's offer to give all students full credit if they want to quit for the year.

EMERY: The school is such a part of me that I could never imagine leaving. And I don't think, of course, it's gonna be easy, but I really do want to go back.

NURENBERG: Freshman Tifanny Pripeton needed some time at home.

TIFFANY PRIPETON, VIRGINIA TECH FRESHMAN: But I do want to return and spend some time at school and tell those people that I love them and give them a hug and, you know, finish up my classes and have that closure.

NURENBERG: Freshman Danny Voltmer said he was stunned by the wounding of his friend.

DANNY VOLTMER, VIRGINIA TECH FRESHMAN: I didn't know how to react. I was in shock and all I could think was, 'oh my god, oh my god, I hope she's ok.'

NURENBERG: It changed them all.

PRIPETON: I know these people. This is so close to me, and it scared me.

VOLTMER: It'll never be the same. I'll never be able to walk by that area without turning my head.

NURENBERG: Turning your head toward it or away from it?

VOLTMER: Toward it.

EMERY: I can't even imagine what that's going to be like, but I feel like I owe it to the students to go back and just finish the year out.

NURENBERG: So, older than they were a week ago, but with the resilience of youth, they're returning to the place where they feel they simply have to be. Gary Nurenberg, CNN, Washington.

Blue Angels Crash

PARK: The Blue Angels are the Navy's precision flying team, putting on aerial demonstrations for millions of people every year at air shows around our nation. But as Joshua Levs reports, a Blue Angels show came to a tragic end in South Carolina Saturday.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOSHUA LEVS, CNN REPORTER: The missing man formation, marking the loss of a Navy pilot who had joined its elite aerial demonstration team. The ceremony comes as investigators try to piece together what happened.

The air show Saturday appeared to be going beautifully. The Blue Angels were in perfect formation, putting on the kind of demonstration that's made them legendary for over 50 years. Then, near the end of the show, this: in this CNN I-Report video sent to us by spectator Teresa Richardson, you see one of the six jets topple through the air and spiral downward. Then a huge plume of smoke rising to the sky. People from another vantage point saw something very bright.

BUZZ HENRY, WITNESS: I seen this big old fireball going across the sky. I said, 'hey, that ain't in the show.'

LEVS: Buzz Henry ended up finding and leading authorities to the pilot's body near a pond. Chunks of the F-18 Hornet had crashed into homes. Officials say eight structures were damaged and some people were hurt.

CAPT. SARAH KANSTEINER, U.S. MARINE CORPS: According to officials on scene, eight individuals were injured. According to reports and the best of our knowledge, these injuries can be characterized as non life-threatening.

LEVS: How did it happen? We can't see it, but a military source tells CNN the jet clipped a pine tree during a sharp turn at the end of the exhibition. Officials have no public comment, while an investigation is conducted.

KANSTEINER: I can't confirm anything about the cause of the crash at this time.

WILLIAM WINN, DIR., BEAUFORT CO. EMERG. MGMT: This is difficult for us. Beaufort County is a close-knit community with our military friends and neighbors.

LEVS: Authorities decided the show must go on, though without the Blue Angels. And it did, giving spectators a chance to celebrate the magic of flight. Joshua Levs, CNN, Atlanta.

Who Are the Blue Angels?

PARK: So just who are the Blue Angels? In the aftermath of Saturday's crash, Fredricka Whitfield gives us some background on the elite flyers and the purpose of their aerial demonstrations.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FREDRICKA WHITFIELD, CNN REPORTER: 51 years. That's how long the Navy's elite aerial demonstration team has been thrilling air show crowds around the world. Looping, rolling, roaring in formation inches apart, just over the heads of 15 million thrilled air show fans a year. Remarkably though, given the difficulty and danger of the stunts, the number of Blue Angels crashes is low. Before Saturday's crash in South Carolina, the last Blue Angel fatal accident happened almost eight years ago, during a training flight in Georgia. The last fatal crash during an air show? 1985. All of these thrills, these risky maneuvers, these death-defying stunts, they have one main purpose: recruiting. Air shows bring people, lots of them, watching the Navy's coolest pilots flying the coolest jets, in hopes of a rush on recruiting offices.

Shoutout

AZUZ: Time for our first Shoutout of the week. What is a kilowatt? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it a unit of: A) Power, B) Weight, C) Speed or D) Volume? You've got three seconds -- GO! A kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts, which are measurements of power. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

Green Grids

PARK: Yesterday was Earth Day, and at events around the country, people were doing their part to protect our planet. If Earth Day inspired you to find ways to conserve around your house, you might want to turn your attention to an unlikely energy hog: your computer! Jacqui Jeras explains how a group of technology companies is hoping to curb the costs of clicking away.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JACQUI JERAS, CNN REPORTER: Remember those primitive times, when people actually had to get in their car and drive in order to buy a book or book a flight or bid at an auction? No more gas guzzling for a lot of chores we now routinely do online. So that's good for the environment, right? Well, the computer servers that handle all of those transactions also gobble a lot of energy.

TOM BRADICICH, IBM: For the first time we're seeing the amount of money spent to provide electricity and cooling for the computer equipment is now greater than the actual money spent to buy the computer equipment.

JERAS: The giants in the tech industry, including IBM, Sun, AMD and Intel, have created a non-profit organization called 'The Green Grid' to adopt energy-saving measures globally. IBM in Silicon Valley is running software that puts computer servers into standby mode when they're not in use.

WILLY CHIU, IBM SILICON VALLEY: We saved $39,000 in this small cluster, about 800 machines a year, because we are able to reduce the energy consumption.

JERAS: Data centers use one to two percent of all of the electricity in the United States, and that's expected to double in the next five years. Conservation groups are working with the tech industry to get better performance out of every kilowatt.

NOAH HOROWITZ, SR. SCIENTIST, NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL: And if we can, we can reduce the need for about a dozen large coal-burning power plants.

JERAS: It's not just the big tech types who need an energy diet. Consumer electronics now use almost 15 percent of the juice in many homes. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends turning off your computer, monitor and printer when you're not using them, and buying Energy Star-qualified equipment, which use up to 70 percent less energy than their conventional counterparts. That way, you'll save gas and electricity when letting your fingers do the buying. Jacqui Jeras, CNN, Atlanta.

Before We Go

PARK: Before we go, a birthday party that needs a lot of candles on the cake. You were all alive to see the turn of the century a few years ago. But this Indiana woman has seen the turn of two centuries. In fact, she's probably seen more than anyone else in the United States. That's because Edna Parker, who celebrated her 114th birthday this weekend, is the oldest living American. And she certainly still has her sense of humor. During the birthday festivities, Parker joked she'd lived so long, she probably knew George Washington.

Goodbye

PARK: And that'll blow out the candles on today's CNN Student News. Thanks for watching. I'm Christina Park. More CNN Headline News is on the way.
