THOMAS ROBERTS, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We're glad to have you with us for the start of a new week of CNN Student News. I'm Thomas Roberts. A long recovery: The governor of New Jersey was severely injured in a car accident last week, but doctors say he's doing better than expected. A technological triumph: After a battle of the bots at the FIRST Robotics Competition, three teams are taking home the top prize. And an eco-friendly abode: Some homes are being designed with the environment in mind, and thinking green is helping owners save.

First Up: Corzine in Crash

ROBERTS: First up today, the governor of New Jersey is recovering after a car crash late last week. Governor Jon Corzine was injured Thursday when his SUV was involved in an accident on the highway. Among his many injuries, Corzine suffered a severely fractured leg and a dozen broken ribs. But after two surgeries, the governor's doctors say Corzine is doing better than expected. Jim Acosta has the latest on the governor's accident and long-term outlook.

JIM ACOSTA, CNN REPORTER: Authorities have found the driver of a red pickup truck that was wanted in connection with the crash that nearly killed New Jersey's governor. But now state police say they aren't charging the driver of that pickup because he wasn't aware he had inadvertently caused the wreck. Investigators believe the pickup slid onto a shoulder then overcorrected, forcing a third vehicle to swerve and clip the governor's vehicle, resulting in the accident.

Two days after the crash, Corzine's doctors performed the first of two scheduled surgeries on the governor's severely broken leg. Even though Corzine remains on a ventilator, unable to speak and unaware of his surroundings, doctors called the procedure a success.

DR. ROBERT OSTRUM, COOPER UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: He is back in the trauma intensive care unit in stable condition and his vital signs are slowly, I will reiterate slowly, improving.

ACOSTA: The horrible injuries to John Corzine only underline the need to wear seatbelts. A spokesman for the governor says Corzine may not have been buckled up while he was en route to the meeting he had arranged between radio personality Don Imus and the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Still, doctors handling the governor's care see reasons for cautious optimism.

DR. STEVEN ROSS, COOPER UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: He is doing well from a much better than any of us would have expected from a respiratory standpoint. And during the course of the next two days, we'll be starting to see whether or not we can allow him to be a little bit more awake.

ACOSTA: It may be six long months before Corzine can walk again, and perhaps weeks before he can resume his duties as governor. His doctors should know more about his long-term prognosis after his next scheduled surgery on Monday. Jim Acosta, CNN, New York.

Rockin' Robots

ROBERTS: Last week we told you about the FIRST Robotics Competition in Atlanta. Thousands of teens from more than 20 countries spent six weeks designing their technological tactics. But opponents became allies during the tournament, as teams had to work in groups for the final battle of the bots. After the dust settled, Reynolds Wolf caught up with the newly-crowned champs.

REYNOLDS WOLF, CNN REPORTER: Hi folks, I'm Reynolds Wolf reporting from the Georgia Dome for the 2007 FIRST Robotics Championship. And it is over. The journey that began six weeks ago for about 10,000 students finally came to an end just a while ago. We're gonna meet the winners from South Windsor, Connecticut, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Worcester, Massachusetts. Let's begin over on this side. Where are you guys from?

CHRISTOPHER JELLY, COMPETITOR: South Windsor, Connecticut.

WOLF: How was it. How was it for you?

JELLY: It was pretty good. We didn't expect to win at first, but, the match just progressed and we...

WOLF: What was the greatest thing about your team? What's the greatest thing about your robot?

JELLY: I think the claw and the defense we can play is the best think about the robot.

WOLF: Well, it worked out well for you guys. You did really, really well. We're going to move on. Look at this, look at this great contraption. One of many that took place in this event. You know what is so cool, is that these incredible robots are about as different as the kids that put them together, all unique. Absolutely. Let's move on to our next group. Young man you look like a winner. Where are you from?

COLIN RODDY, CONTESTANT: Worcester, Massachusetts.

WOLF: Massachusetts representing very well. How was this event for you?

RODDY: It was absolutely amazing. We had our ups and downs, but for the most part, our robot performed flawlessly. Our teammates were great. In the finals they worked with us very well, and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

WOLF: How's it going, Las Vegas?

ALEX SAMBVANI, CONTESTANT: Doing good.

WOLF: Doing great?

SAMBVANI: Yeah.

WOLF: Tell me about your robot very quickly.

SAMBVANI: Well, we have an arm that we were able to score pretty quickly with. We picked up these inner tubes off the ground and we also have a ramp that can lift up a robot a foot off the ground.

ANNOUNCER: Two...one...

WOLF: Congratulations again to the winners. It was a tough battle for them, but we have a lot of smiling faces. And all of them want to come back, right back here in 2008.

Reporting from the Georgia Dome, I'm Reynolds Wolf, CNN.

Shoutout

RICHARDSON: It's time for the Shoutout! What baseball team did Jackie Robinson play for immediately before joining the Brooklyn Dodgers? If you think you know it, shout it out. Was it the: A) Kansas City Monarchs, B) Montreal Royals, C) New York Yankees or D) Durham Bulls? You've got three seconds -- GO! Montreal was the last stop on Robinson's journey before he got to the major leagues. That's your answer, and that's your Shoutout!

Jackie Robinson Day

ROBERTS: It was an historic event when Jackie Robinson made that move from Montreal to Brooklyn. By joining the Dodgers, Robinson broke the color barrier, becoming the first African-American to play in baseball's major leagues. Yesterday was the 60th anniversary of that momentous occasion, and dozens of major league players honored the milestone by wearing Robinson's number 42 on their jerseys. Although the color barrier may have been broken more than a half century ago, a study by USA Today shows African-Americans make up less than 10 percent of the players in the majors right now, the lowest that number's been since the 1960s.

Going Green

ROBERTS: If you hear someone talking about a greenhouse, you might think of a glass building that's home to a lot of plants. But some houses are built with a different green in mind: the environment. These eco-friendly homes can help you save some green, too. Greg Hunter shows us a few of the ways for a house to go green.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GREG HUNTER, CNN REPORTER: Les Bluestone builds homes that are environmentally friendly, like this new townhouse in the Bronx. But this house isn't just green, it saves you green too. Les, this is a toilet with two buttons. Why?

LES BLUESTONE: Greg, these are our dual-flush toilets. It's a new technology. This button here on the right is for a liquid flush; this one is meant for a solid flush.

HUNTER: Saving water and money. Replacing aerators which control the flow of water on faucets and showerheads will too, from three to five hundred dollars a year! This energy efficient boiler heats water for all three floors of this building, saving another 300 dollars a year. But you don't have to be in a new house to save money. An easy way to be green is to change your old light bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs.

JENNIFER BOGO, EDITOR, POPULAR MECHANICS: If you replace every one of those bulbs with a compact fluorescent, you'd save about 180 dollars on your energy bill every year.

HUNTER: And for under 100 dollars, a programmable thermostat that will automatically lower the temperature in your home when you're sleeping or at work. One of the more unusual green and money saving devices: this green roof atop architect Richard Cook's Manhattan office building. The soil and vegetation act like insulation. But there are other benefits.

RICHARD COOK, ARCHITECT: To look out over this prospect of Manhattan and in the foreground see our green roof is something that we see as beautiful and makes us feel good and it makes a healthy more productive work place.

HUNTER: The reason why these fluorescent light bulbs are so inexpensive to operate, they use 75 percent less power. If you put these all over your house in every outlet, you'll save a couple hundred dollars a year. Greg Hunter, CNN, Brooklyn, New York.

Before We Go

ROBERTS: Before we go, a race that brings back childhood memories. Before your first car or even your first bike, chances are you probably tooled around town on a Big Wheel. These three-wheeled terrors took on the twists and turns of San Francisco in the seventh annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel race. There are no permits, no insurance and very few rules, just lots of people trying to pedal their way to the finish line.

Goodbye

ROBERTS: Not so successful there, for some. And that'll wheel us to a close. Thanks for watching. We'll see you tomorrow for more CNN Student News. I'm Thomas Roberts.
