| Virginia Tech mourns one week after shooting, classes resume
Washington, April 23 (DPA) Thirty-two white balloons were released into the air at Virginia Polytechnic Institute Monday morning, as classes resumed one week after the university suffered the worst massacre in US history. A bell tolled 32 times - once for each victim - on Drillfield at the heart of the university campus starting at 9.45 a.m., when police first heard reports that South Korean student Cho Seung-Hui had barricaded himself into an academic hall and opened fire in classrooms. The 32 balloons were released shortly after the bell toll, steps from Norris Hall where the shootings took place. Hundreds of orange and maroon balloons - the university colours - followed as a sign of the campus and world's solidarity. Students also gathered at West Ambler Johnston Hall across campus, where Cho killed a female student and resident counsellor a full two hours before entering Norris Hall.

'Stars light up Sendai, knock Giants out of league lead
The BayStars, who have finished last in the Central League in four out of the past five years, are in third place--a half-game back of the Chunichi Dragons. The Giants fell to second, winning percentage points behind Chunichi. Saeki said it's too soon to worry about who they are facing or their first three-game winning streak this year. "The mood of the team is good, but we have to keep moving forward. We're not focusing on other teams so much, we're just trying to go out and play our brand of baseball," Saeki said of the BayStars, who are fourth in the CL in homers with 14. "Our team doesn't produce a lot of home runs. We have players who concentrate on putting hits together to score." But without closer Marc Kroon, who is out for the next three games to be with his wife during childbirth, the BayStars had to put together a makeshift crew in the bullpen.
