KENNEWICK, Wash.-- The Benton County Sheriff's Office is telling former jail inmates it's time to pay up.
The sheriff's office sent nearly 1,800 bills out to collect money for costs the inmates racked up in jail.
The charges are for things like medical visits and property damage.
The sheriff's office is looking to collect more than $1 million in debts and is considering using a collection agency to help with the process.

SNK America's HPS-120A five-axis profiler is designed for complex, simultaneous five-axis machining and contouring of titanium, stainless steel and other difficult-to-cut materials. The machine's horizontal design enables chips to quickly drop from the cutting area, eliminating heat build-up around the spindle and reducing re-cutting of chips, thereby prolonging tool life.
Features include through-spindle coolant and coolant shower with large-volume coolant. An optional high-efficiency chip conveyor removes large quantities of chips. The table tilts to the horizontal position when machining is complete to ease work unloading and reloading. Twin-table APC models increase productivity by enabling machining on one zone while the other work zone is being re-fixtured with work.
Turcite-coated slideways damp vibration. The rigid spindle design features a high-torque A-axis spindle motor and a large saddle for the C axis to ensure high rigidity of the rotary axis spindle head. The spindle drive motor has a spindle speed range of 40 to 4,000 rpm and delivers up to 926.4 foot-pounds of torque needed for machining tough materials.
More technology – a lot more!
IMTS 2014 will be the year's largest showcase of new product technologies and new process innovations. If you're looking for machining, tooling, systems, software, solutions and more, you'll find it at IMTS 2014.

This purple-on-the-outside, white-on-the-inside tropical fruit is one of the most delicious, hard-to find ingredients around. But if you can get your hands on some fresh mangosteens, it's worth it.
Mangosteens have gotten some high praise over the years. Consider this blurb from author Desmond Tate in his book Tropical Fruit: "By popular acclaim, the mangosteen is held to be the most delectable of all the tropical fruits, and it has been proclaimed their queen. There is no doubt about the luxury of its taste. It has won unstinted praise down the ages from all who have encountered it." And that's one of the more restrained comments on the subject.
Mangosteens come from Thailand, which is essentially the U.S.'s only source of the fruit. Their delectable taste and seasonality make them hard to find. According to the New York Times, Queen Elizabeth I is said to have offered knighthood to anyone who could procure her one unspoiled. No one ever managed to.
As a rare tropical fruit, there's really only one variety of mangosteen. (And, no, it's no relation to mangoes.) Also called purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), this fruit has a thick, purplish, inedible rind. But cut it open and you'll hear angels singing: On the inside, the mangosteen contains a delicious, pale white, multi-lobed fruit. Many connoisseurs prefer eating it raw, but you can also mix it into fruit salads or blend it into smoothies.
Mangosteens are only available in the U.S. after being harvested in Thailand, which occurs during the warm summer months.
If you get the chance to pick some mangosteens from a grocer or Asian fruit market, you may not have much chance to be choosy, since these fruits are both rare and popular. However, a good mangosteen will be a bright, unblemished purple on the outside. Also, the harder the mangosteen's shell-like rind, the better. Skip over the soft or splotchy ones.
If you'd like to keep ripe mangosteens fresh, place them in your fridge's fruit drawer. They'll keep there for up to a month.
Getting to the white fruit means cutting open the mangosteen's outer rind, which can be quite tough and measure as thick as 1/2 inch. To do so, you'll need a serrated blade, like a steak knife or bread knife. Using a slow sawing motion, gradually cut down through the rind. Stop when you think you've reached the fruit, then use your finger to pry the rind apart. If it won't come open, saw some more.
Typically, tropical recipes will call for one or more of the mangosteen's whole inner fruits, which are called "arils." These can be sliced, cubed or blended.
If you have to use a similar ingredient, try mangoes or strawberries.
Mangosteen lovers find it very difficult to describe its flavor. Some have compared it to lychee, a sweet, juicy Chinese fruit. Others say it's something like a cross between mangoes, peaches and clementines. Mangosteens have a distinct, ambrosial savor that's difficult to place, much less replace.
Try adding mangosteen to any of our heavenly fruit recipes for an added taste of the tropics. You can spear mangosteen on these Fruit Kabobs with Tropical Fruit Coulis, add them to Gingered Fresh Fruit Salad or blend them into Tropical Smoothies.

NEW CHESTER, Wisc (WSAU) The state will help pay for road improvements to accommodate an expanded dairy farm in Adams County that will equal Wisconsin's largest. The firm of Milk Source plans to double the size of its dairy herd at the New Chester Dairy in Adams County. It will have 8,400 cows, same as Wisconsin's largest existing dairy farm – the Rosendale Dairy near Pickett, which is also owned by Milk Source.
Thursday state Agriculture Secretary Ben Brancel and Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb will present a $240,000 grant to the town of New Chester to re-do the road that serves the dairy. The company put up $300,000 last month for the road project.
Milk Source also owns dairies at Omro, Coloma, and Kaukauna – plus a show-cow farm in Freedom, and a calf-raising facility at Greenleaf.

GENERIC NAME: trastuzumab
BRAND NAME: Herceptin
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Trastuzumab is an intravenous drug that is used to treat breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast (metastasized). It belongs to a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies. Other monoclonal antibodies include rituximab (Rituxan) and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg). The cells of cancers have various receptors on their surfaces. Chemicals bind to these receptors and cause changes within the cancer cells. One of the receptors that occurs in about one-third of all breast cancers is called HER2. HER2 is known to control the growth and development of the cancer cells and the production of new cancer cells. If HER2 receptors are present in large numbers on the cancer cells (often referred to as overexpression of HER2), then the cancer cells may multiply and grow quickly. Normally, the immune system produces antibodies that will detect and attack HER2 receptors to slow the growth of cancer cells However, if HER2 is present in large numbers, the immune system may be unable to control HER2. Trastuzumab is a man-made antibody developed using molecular cloning and recombinant DNA technology. Trastuzumab is thought to block the HER2 receptors when there is overexpression, thereby blocking growth of the cancer . Trastuzumab was approved by the FDA in 1998.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Trastuzumab is available as a powder in a vial containing 440 mg of drug. It must be mixed with a liquid before intravenous injection.
STORAGE: Trastuzumab should be stored at 2 C to 8 C (36 F to 46 F) and should not be frozen.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Trastuzumab is used to treat metastatic breast cancer or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma among patients who overexpress HER2. It may be used alone or combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs.
DOSING: Trastuzumab is administered intravenously. When combined with other drugs for treatment of breast cancer the dose is 4 mg per kilogram of body weight followed by a weekly dose of 2 mg per kilogram of body weight. When used alone for treatment of breast cancer or for treatment of gastric cancer the dose is 8 mg/kg initially followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Paclitaxel may increase blood levels of trastuzumab.
PREGNANCY: Trastuzumab can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women and should not be administered during pregnancy.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether trastuzumab is excreted in human milk. Nursing mothers should decide whether to stop nursing or discontinue trastuzumab.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects of trastuzumab are diarrhea (25% of patients), a prickling or burning sensation in the skin (9% of patients), either an upper respiratory or a catheter related infection (26% of patients), increased cough (26% of patients), nausea and vomiting (23-33% of patients), rash (18% of patients), and infusion related side effects including mild to moderate chills and/or fever (40% of patients). More patients experience these side effects when trastuzumab is given in combination with paclitaxel. Back pain may occur in 22% of patients receiving trastuzumab alone. More serious but less-common side effects may develop if trastuzumab is given with paclitaxel and other chemotherapeutic drugs, for example, cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) or doxorubicin (Rubex). Damage to the heart including congestive heart failure (CHF) or ventricular dysfunction may occur in 19% of patients receiving trastuzumab with another chemotherapeutic drug in contrast to 2% to 20% of patients receiving only one of the drugs. Trastuzumab also causes serious and fatal pulmonary toxicity. Other less-common side effects of trastuzumab alone or combined with paclitaxel include decreased red and/or white blood cells, increased heart rate, body swelling, acne, and herpes simplex infections.

May 30, 2012: Toys R Us Recalls Imaginarium Activity Center
About 24,000 activity centers that sold exclusively at Toys R Us have been recalled due to choking hazards.
What's the Deal?
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Toys R Us Inc., of Wayne, New Jersey, has recalled about 24,000 Imaginarium 5-Sided Activity Centers. The small wooden knobs attaching the xylophone keys to the end can detach, causing a choking hazard to young children. Toys R Us has received eight reports of the knobs detaching. No injuries have been reported to the firm.
Do You Own It?
This recall involves the Imaginarium 5-Sided Activity Center. The multi-sided center has two triangle-shaped ends with a wooden multi-colored xylophone on one and a mirror on the other. The three sides are square-shaped and include moveable block letters, rotating gears, and sliding shapes. The name "Imaginarium" appears in a blue, oval-shaped logo underneath the mirror on one end. The second 'i' in the logo is dotted with a shooting star. The recalled product has model number 46284; Toys R Us item number 295909; and has the barcode number 000799985462841. The model number is printed on the back of the box, directly above the bar code. These numerical markings do not appear on the actual product.
The play center sold exclusively at Toys R Us stores nationwide and online at www.toysrus.com from August 2009 through September 2010 for about $25.
What Should You Do?
Consumers should immediately stop using the product, move it out of the reach of young children, and return it to a Toys R Us store for a refund or store credit. For additional information, contact Toys R Us toll-free at (800) 869-7787 between 9 AM and 11 PM EST, Monday through Saturday, and between 11 AM and 7 PM Sunday, or visit the firm's website at www.toysrus.com/safety.

Positive Discipline: The Key to Well-Behaved Kids
Even with these points in mind, I've read several articles that address the issue of spanking where the writer says it's okay to spank if the child is in danger – for instance, if a toddler is running into the street or reaching out to touch a hot burner on the stove. They suggest that at these times a few pops on the rear end are okay. I must admit this naïve mindset baffles me. Why in the world would we want to teach our children about safety by hurting them? Does you ski instructor jab you with his ski pole to teach you not to jump off the chairlift?
A parent who believes that spanking is the only effective way to teach a young child about safety issues is not giving the child enough credit. Children – even little ones – can indeed learn about safety through our teaching them. As a matter of fact, through teaching they will learn much more, as they can absorb the reason for the rule, and over time, can learn to make good decisions on their own. I watched two friends one summer teach their toddlers not to run in the street. Mom A gave her toddler a swat on the rear every time he went into the street. Mom B picked up her toddler, looked him in the eye, and said, "NO street! Dangerous. Stay by Mommy." By the end of the summer, both children learned to stay out of the street. Which child understood why? And which child has better communication with his mother?
Positive, respectful, consistent discipline is the real key to raising well-behaved children.

After being delayed from Aug. 11 until Sept. 8 at the end of last month, Amerie's In Love & War—her first album under her deal with Def Jam—has been pushed back yet again. But lest you think it's a bad sign, the Nov. 3 release date is a good thing—at least, according to a missive from the singer herself. "Very happy w/my album date! Got the one I wanted," she Twittered last night, appending a smiley-face and a cryptic note about how the date had a special significance to her. Hmm. Anyway, a new single from the album came out last week—the muscular "Heard 'Em All," which is a nice little workout that's a product of a collaboration between Amerie and "Flashing Lights" co-producer Eric Hudson. Clip after the jump.
Very happy w/my album date! [Twitter]

Fort Meade, home to the National Security Agency, the Defense Information Systems Agency, U.S. Cyber Command and other key organizations, was a net winner in the 2005 round of base realignment. With 52,000 service members, civilians and contractors, the Army installation in Anne Arundel County is the largest workplace in Maryland.
But by the time Army Col. Edward C. Rothstein took command, military spending was beginning to tighten again.
Rothstein's tenure as garrison commander, overseeing security and emergency services, public works and construction, family care, morale and well-being programs, coincided with the government-wide spending cuts known as the sequester and furloughs.
With less money to provide services, he had to prioritize, and then communicate his choices to the workforce and the wider community.
Rothstein, who has spent 30 years in uniform, stepped down this month in advance of his retirement in February. At the change-of-command ceremony, Thomas J. Schoenbeck of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command credited Rothstein for leadership in implementing programs focusing on readiness and resiliency.
Schoenbeck called the soon-to-open Army Wellness Center "a fantastic operation." During a time of declining budgets, Schoenbeck said, Rothstein "expertly provided services to support and secure the customer base here at Fort Meade," built "lasting relationships with local, state and federal" authorities, and "spearheaded innovative programs that will lead Fort Meade well into the future."
The 49-year-old New Jersey native plans to remain in the area. The Baltimore Sun caught up with him the day after the change-of-command ceremony — as he headed with his wife, Audrey, and their teen-age children to Florida and Disney World — to ask about leadership and Fort Meade.
Your time at Fort Meade has coincided with tighter budgets, sequestration and furloughs. What has been the greatest challenge?
The biggest challenge is having to say no to an activity or an opportunity that somebody wants to do because it may not be aligned with the priorities of where I put my people and my money.
Now it has been more of a challenge over the last year because of the fiscal constraints. So I really had to focus my budget and my money on life health safety issues. And then when the furlough came into effect, understanding now I have a workforce working a 32-hour work week, I really had to align their work with our priorities. And stay away from some of the tangential issues and opportunities that if we had a robust economy and workforce, we'd be able to accomplish a lot more.
This is important to me. Being a soldier, having soldiers under my charge, we all wear the same uniform. I never ask someone to do something that I wouldn't do myself. However, leading Fort Meade and the garrison workforce, I have a combination of soldiers in uniform and then a large civilian population. And the challenge with the furlough is I can sympathize but not empathize. I can sympathize with what they're going through, but I'm not walking in their shoes. The boots I wear were not furloughed.
I found over time with the civilian workforce, it's not just about losing the money that they're losing with the 32-hour work week, but actually not being able to accomplish the job that they had in front of them. It is a piece of self-worth that they're missing.
And that's a real challenge to me because as a soldier, we work 24-7. Until the job is done I can keep people there until we get the job done. I cannot do that with the civilian workforce. Even though they want me to. Even though they want to be there longer hours, I've got to tell them to go home, and I've got to say we will not finish the job today. We'll see what we can do tomorrow, and try to accomplish what we can in a 32-hour work week.
I think sometimes we're short-sighted because we talk so much about money and we lose what really matters in most cases: that self-worth. My workforce was very dedicated to getting the job done. So the continuing resolution, sequestration and then the impact of sequestration, which caused a furlough to be in place, it added to each other and has created a very difficult time.
How do you lead in difficult times? How important is communication?
I had commander's town halls. I used the media, and also our internal communications, like the Soundoff [the base newspaper]. Communication is really important, and it's important that I'm very transparent, so what I tell my workforce, I also tell the community. So we manage expectations through clear communications, where transparency on what our priorities are is known to the community.
A case in point, our swimming pool broke a few months ago. It's a recreational tool and for fitness. I didn't have the money to fix it. We've got to prioritize our money. And people are going to be upset losing a pool. So I shared that with the community, saying these are my priorities, and I let them know. It allowed them to now understand why we've made our decision, as opposed to just saying, the pool's closed. Because that does nobody any good.
Mitigation on a lot of this is good understanding with the community both inside the fence-line and outside, but also the counties and the community outside the fence-line understanding our challenges. And they've reached out to us to say, "Hey, how can we help?" So they've allowed us to use pools and golf courses. Through the increasing discounts for military and Department of Defense civilians. I mean, that's pretty cool stuff, and the way that it happens is through good, effective communications and transparency.
What are the challenges ahead for Fort Meade?
The challenge for the Fort Meade community and the workforce is the level of ambiguity that still exists. We're in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, and we are hearing the rumblings or the comments that there may be another sequestration or a continuing sequestration into the new fiscal year. What we don't know is what are those impacts.


text: UNDATED (KDAL) - Following the Russian government's decision to delay its American adoption ban by one year, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar yesterday reached out to President Vladimir Putin to call on his government to allow for the completion of adoptions that had already begun prior to the ban. Klobuchar joined 70 other members of Congress in sending a letter to the Russian president. She also wrote to President Obama urging his administration to apply pressure on the Russian government to process the pending cases. Klobuchar last week met with Minnesota families affected by the ban and is working with the State Department to ensure their adoptions get done. According to a press release, the State Department estimates there are currently 500 to 1,000 pending Russian adoption cases in the United States. Minnesota has the highest rate of international adoptions in the country.

Grid parity in cost between solar power and cheap generic viagra deals grid-supplied electricity is likely to begin being reached in the where to get cialis in canada US in as little as 2 years, and within the next 25 years, many of the largest metropolitan areas will reach the point where solar is less expensive. An animated map from Energy Self Reliant States shows the picture.
This timeline includes no government subsidies in the calculations. It uses a baseine cost of solar power in 2011 at $4.00 per watt, installed. Using the average residential grid supplied electricity price for each metro area, it makes the two assumptions based on present trends to determine when the uk levitra price of www.bm-cultura.de solar drops below grid: the cost of solar decreases by 7% per year, and the grid electricity price increases by 2% per year.
Based on these assumptions, the San Diego CA metropolitan area will be at solar parity in 2013, and within the next 25 years, many of the largest metropolitan areas will reach the point where solar is less expensive.

A car's elegance should be kept even after applying a tuning package, and that is exactly what tuner, Wheelsandmore, believe and achieve for all of their tuning programs. For example, their new package for the Maserati Granturismo offers a hint of an exterior package, as well as a little more power as a minimalistic approach to making the sports car that much more appealing.
For the engine, the tuner is offering an ecu upgrade combined with a new handmade stainless steel exhaust system with valve flaps. The result is a total of 447 HP and 500 lb-ft of torque.
The performance is further upgraded with the special forged, lightweight 20" 6Sporz wheels with Dunlop Sportmaxx GT tires, 265/30/20 at the front and 325/30/20 at the rear.
The package for the Maserati GranTurismo is rounded off with a Street Comfort coilover kit made by KW suspensions in Germany. This kit can also be used for cars with a serial skyhook suspension.

Hey Perhaps this story should be on the editorial page. It certainly is not a news story, for the subject dates back to time immemorial. But we have received several opinions about date methods on the Weber campus and surely it deserves a lot of consideration. Isn't social life almost as important as studying? We think so. Generally speaking, the co-eds are complaining because the fellows are so slow about dating them. The male members of our college are complaining because they say the gals are mostly taken by far-sighted men who make their home in Ogden and started "operating" long before school started. Now something is SNAFU somewhere. Why don't you students give us some of your opinions regarding this subject? After all, this paper belongs to you too. We would be glad to print material on "Weber Dates." Here is the story of an apparently unhappy young girl. One of our editors wrote the reply. How about writing to the "Forum," and giving us your reaction to these letters. Dear Editor: 1 am writing this as an inquiry from the co-eds of Weber college to the veterans. Would they please reply? What is wrong with Weber college co-eds? Something must be the matter with the majority of us as we are never asked to attend Dixon - Miss Wellin Address Convention Title 'Head Counselor' To Replace 'Dean' "Because of the present trend of times, men and women deans soon will not be known as 'deans,' but Head Councilors," said Miss Welling, Dean of Women at Weber college at the forty-ninth annual convention of the Utah Education association, held Oct. 10, -in Salt Lake City. "Three Utah schools have already adopted this system and it has been found to be very satisfactory," she added. In explaining the system, she pointed out that all activities, other than academic, would be handled by the one person; and would thus eliminate the difficulties arising out of having two deans. President Henry A. Dixon also addressed the conference of 5,000 teachers from Utah. Highlighting the convention was a speech by Dr. T. T. McSwain, professor of education at Northwestern university. He pointed out the urgent need for better understanding of student-teacher problems. "The purpose of education should stimulate youth to' ask questions," Dr. McSwain said. He further explained that if Utah Is to have improved schools, proper attitudes must be in the minds of the teachers. "A child learns only what he takes out of the living of others," he concluded. Music for the convention was furnished by the L. D. S. tabernacle choir under the direction of J. Spencer Cornwell. Frank W. As-per was at the console. Veterans Guidance Center Broadened, Acclaims Anderson Weber college veterans administration may now boast a guidance center which compares favorably to that of any school in the state, it was reported recently by George N. Anderson, director of that office.This center brings the federal authority of the regional office to the campus; thus saving time and money formerly spent for travel. According to Mr. Anderson, advisement cases, which formerly have taken as long as eight weeks, can now probably be handled in half that time. Appearing very enthusiastic about the new office, the director, in praising the co-operation received from the school, said, "Weber college has been bending over backwards to help establish the new office." He also emphasized that considerable gratitude was due Dean Merlon L. Stevenson and Dr. Robert A. Clarke for their efforts. Mr. Anderson recently succeded Dr. Vern F. Larsen, as vocational guidance director. It's Your Party So Don't Stay Home Who The associated students of Weber college. What? A Halloween barn dance. Where? In the college ballroom. When? Tonight, Oct. 29. 1946, at 9:00 p. m. Why? For the enjoyment of the the students of the college. What to Wear? Print dresses, levi's and old clothes. Main Features of the evening. Spook alley and refreshments (cider and doughnuts). Committee in Charge? Larry Williamson. Melba Charlesworth. Ettalue Fernelius, Blake Storey, Bob McAllister, Mary Bingham, and Janice Shupe. chairman. Admission? Fifty (50 cents. Fellas! The Gals Want Dales Thayne Is Head of Soph Class Melvin Thayne is the new president of the sophomore class as a result of the special election, held last week, to fill the vacancy which was created when Jack Critchlow, originally elected to the office entered the armed service. "Mel," as he is commonly called, is a veteran and ran close competition with Jim Blair and John Murphy, also ex-service men who were seeking the office. Since his return to Weber, Mel has been active in school functions. He holds the position of treasurer in his social club, Phoenix, and is also the co-editor of the W. C. handbook. Other officers of the soph class are Carol Spackman, vice president; Marilyn Robinson, secretary, and Kay Randall, historian. Men's Dorm By ROBERT H. ODENTHAL Smoking Privilege Granted Henry Aldous Dixon and the administrative council set a precedent on Oct. 21, at their regular weekly meeting, when they granted to the men of the dormitory the privilege of smoking in their rooms upon the recommendation of the standards committee. Early in the school year, the dor-mites voted strongly in favor of being allowed this privilege. Their plea was presented before ths standards committee by Tom Lawson, the dorm director, and officers of the dormitory; Odenthal, Prucell, and F. Wright. Intramurals Entered At the most recent meeting, held at the dorm, it was decided that the dorm-men would participate in intramurals.. Members of the intramurals committee are Don Breneman and Don Hayden. There are quite a few athletes living at the dorm and their chances of making a good showing are of the best. Type of Organization For the present the organization at 440 24th street, is run along the lines of a social club, having meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month. The groundwork is being laid for entrance into the politics of W. C. Just how strong a force it will prove is difficult to forecast at this time. Committees Decoration of the dorm was left to the whims of Cal Lucy and Don Hayden. The first result of their activity is the presence of a large moose head in the Lounge of "Wildcat Inn." 7' school functions, or go anywhere, for that matter, with a male student.I, for an example, am no movie queen or future Petty model. However, 1 am by no means a candidate for a Zoo. I follow the "Your best friend won't tell you" advertisements faithfully so 1 won't be caught in any of those dragnets to popularity. I dont crack jokes every five minutes or tell witty stories constantly, but at times I can produce a fairly good anecdote. There are plenty of girls on this campus who are just the same. We don't shine in any particular field, but we are pretty good at doing a variety of things. A Dateless Co-ed. Dear Dateless Co-ed: After thoroughly reading your letter several times, I decided, being an eligible vet, to give your letter special attention. You have some fine points and I sincerely hope the subject doesn't stop with this issue of the Signpost. Since arriving at Weber, 1 have had the opportunity to talk with other fellows about the subject of "women" or "date bait," or what have you, as they relate to our leisure hours. There are 800 men in Weber and there are only 500 women. Your statement about "not being invited to school events" sets me, and I am sure others of my sex, back on my heels. For others, like myself, have been having the same trouble, reversed, of course. '- T f , 1 VOLUME 10 1 500 Hear Warren In First Concert Of 46-47 Season Violinist Next; To Appear December 10 The 1946-47 community concert season got underway Wednesday night, Oct. 19, as Leonard Warren, Metropolitan opera baritone, sang before 1500 attentive listeners in the Ogden high school auditorium. Singing such favorites as "Barber of Seville," by Rossini, and "Eri tu," from "The Masked Ball," by Giuseppe Verdi, Mr. Warren was called back for many encores by the appreciative audience. The baritone exhibited a virtuosity and ability which thrilled his listeners. Joseph Sykes, the piano accompanist, played three solos, each was well received. Many agreed the Metropolitan opera star's performance speaks highly for the forthcoming music season. The next musical program scheduled is Dec. 10, when Angel Reyes, the famed violinist, appears here. Freshmen Urged To Join Social Orders Mae Welling, Dean of Women, announced recently that freshmen interested in affiliating with cial club should come to her office sometime on Nov. 4, after the rush season, and state in order of preference which club they would iiKe co join. At this time plnKu anhrwit lioto rtf students they would like to pledge. These lists will be matched up and tne mas mailed .Nov. 8. She Stressed thRt Tlrt hiHc aria given out except those which pass mrougn tne otnce of Dean of Women.At the end of fall quarter, pledges will be checked for elegibility. Students' requirements are a maintained grade C average. If they do not meet this requirement they are ineligible for initiation for a quarter, or until the time they make the grade average. All members of clubs must maintain this average also or they become inactive, and are unable to participate in any club activities for a quarter. The school administration sponsors and maintains social clubs; therefore they stress these requirements.Debaters Practice For Coast Tourney The Weber college debaters are meeting each Monday at 5:00 p. m., to discuss their question in preparation for a tournament in Los Angeles early in December. The object of discussion will be, "Resolved That Labor Should be Given a Direct Share in the Management of Industry," and will be used in the west coast debate. If you are interested in debate, and would like some assistance, go to M-215 on Mondays, 5:00 to 7:00 p. m. Mr. Monson and members of Phi Rho Pi will be glad to help you. Sec. 562 P. L. & R "State Of The jUnion" Selected This Week Pictured above is Student Body President Ernie Bingham and the former Miss Donna Wilkinson. They were married on October 14 in L. D. S. temple, Salt Lake City. Donna attended Weber during spring quarter last year Mastermind Lecture Series Opened By War Correspondent Mass Erika Mann, noted war correspondent, author and playwright, opened the Master Mind Lecture Series last Monday in the auditorium with a convincing analysis of the German situation. She stated that fascism cannot be stamped out in Germany until the western powers and Russia reach agreement.The Nuernburg trials, while setting a precedent for making individuals responsible under law for their part in wars of aggression, certainly did not de-nazify Germany. Thousands of Germans, with identical ideas, but who did not happen to be occupying a governmental position of importance, enjoy complete freedom and are using that freedom to perpetuate the "master race" theories of Rosenberg and Hitler. Miss Mann stated that 80 percent of Germany's war production machine remained intact. Such a situation considered along with the zonal system, whereby different countries pursue dissimilar policies within Germany, does not help the de-nazification process or allow for harmony and the achievement of the goals towards which the United Nations are working. Miss Mann explained, "Germany OGDEN, UTAH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, is the key to world peace.Un-re-pentant Germany had decided that as long as nothing is settled, nothing is lost; and the possibility of War between the U. S. and Russia feeds the imagination of thousands of Germans who were too deeply indoctrinated in the philosophies of fascism to change by Germany's failure in this war. While not fully explaining just what she meant. Miss Mann stated that "revolution in Germany cannot be brought about from Heaven or from without". By this she seemed to mean that occupation forces and other rather unco-ordinated efforts could not change the German people from fascistic to democratic.The only way dominant philosophy in Germany can be changed from fascism to liberalism is through an intellectual awakening or realization within Germany itself, she asserted. "And this," she pointed out very strongly, "is not possible while the eastern and western powers are busy mistrusting and disagreeing with one another." Mutual agreement is a mutual responsibility but as far as the United States is concerned, one of our weaknesses is placing too serious an interpretation on the smaller differences which have arisen between us and Russia. Perhaps the main trouble is getting introduced. After all, a fella can't walk up to a good-looking blonde, standing in front of the gym, and say, "I'll pick you up at 8:00 o'clock tonight." No, we aren't bashful. (Are we fellas!) But, after all! Some promoter of "Love on the campus" might suggest wearing name tags for a week. Or mabe "Eligible" lists of male and female students could be furnished; complete with descriptions and the vital statistics (phone numbers, that is). And then we could have "open" week. That is, any woman on the campus who is asked by a male student must date him. Naturally, gals who are going steady and married women and men would be omitted from this plan. All a, fella would have to do is walk up to a nice looking gal, get her attention and say, Sunday night at 7:30 O. K.? Now where do you live and what is your name?" As these ideas are the height of fantastical day dreams, they will never materialize, except in Shangrila, (How do you spell that, anyway?) and there they are not needed as time isn't important. Therefore, you poor suffering females, who never "Step out," except with a member of your sex, (disgusting, isn't it?) will have to sit back and wait for . . . well, you know. Editor. P. S. The Weber Men's dormitory phone number is 2-0447. We have nearly 40 eligible bachelors. 1946 First Community Theater Play Set November 14, 15, 16 G-Items By EDGAR DENNY Introduced in our last issue, this column again brings you news for veterans from the vets office. With a large per cent of the student enrollment made up of veterans, it is considered essential to devote a column to the publication of information pertinent to the former servicemen. Although the veterans office is the focal point for such news, it is to be understood that any material from student sources will, if considered current, be used. If you have something on your mind, see me in the Signpost office, room 402 in the Moench building. Guidance Center A guidance center has been established which will be able to cope with a large part of the problems incident to vocational advisement. With George N. Anderson as director, this office promises a more prompt and less detailed approach to the advisement of veterans. Located in the Veterans Administration office, It will serve not only Weber college, but the entire Ogden area. Veterans having program or vocational problems are urged to take advantage of this service. Subsistence Forms When is becomes available, form 1961 (estimate of income) must be filed by all veterans attending school. On this form you will express your estimated income for the ensuing four month period. Filled out every four months, these will be used to determine the amount of subsistence a vetd-an will receive. No further information is available now, but the veterans office expects the forms soon. Announcement will be made when they are available. Rehabilitation Many have been asking what distinction is made between a non-disabled veteran and a disabled veteran under the G. I. bill. Perhaps it will be better understo -: if a few minor differences of status are pointed out. Pay is, of course, one difference. There is no restriction on the outside income of a rehabilitation student. He receives, in addition to the reguiar subsistence, a disability pension. The reason for a pension is easily seen. A man who has a handicap, requires a little more backing in order to overcome it. The backing is proportional to the handicap. Rehabilitation students must take a full course of stury, while non-impaired veterans may take a full or part time program, as they desire.Disabled veterans are also given extra training as an aid in overcoming vocational handicaps. We have about 10 rehabilitation students on the campus. They follow the example of disabled veterans in many places should do well. Accarding to a recent survey, the percentage of failures among these students was considerably lower than among non-disabled veteran students. - . - w NUMBER 3 Cast Six Weber students and one faculty member have been awarded roles in "State of the Union," the first Community theatre play, to be seen here Nov. 14, 15, and 16, according to John Kelly, director. The students are Laura Aldous, Rondo W. Olson, Richard E. Terry, Griff Richards, and Max H. Jar-dine, and Lowell L. Manfull. "Theso students were chosen," said Mr. Kelly, "because of their ability to portray comic characters in a comic situation. 'State of the Union' is a political satire based on attempts of the Republican party to choose a presidential candidate for 1948, and is as funny as the earlier play written by the same authors, 'Life With Father'." Laura Aldous plays the part of a Republican housekeeper who can stomach Democrats only when they aren't Roosevelt Democrats. Rondo Olson is an industrialist who is ready to spend thousands to return the country to free enterprise so that he might turn over to his G. I. son a financial, uncontrolled empire, ready-made without the aid of a G. I. Bill of Rights. Lowell Manfull is a bartender who knows how to make Sazaracs and knows the formula for recoery therefrom. Griff Richards, Richard Terry, and Max Jardine are alternating on three roles, among which is the waiter who "knows his onions." When asked to identify the faculty member taking part in "State of the Union," director Kelly replied, "I was very flattered when the director decided that I might take the leading man's role. "It was tough comptition, but in the end I won out. Grant Matthews, the contemplated Republican nominee for the 1948 presidential campaign is a challenging role. "His political ideas are very simi-lare to mine, so, of course, I am delighted to be able to declaim them. If I never get closed to the White House than the Weber stage, it will have been a pleasant experience. Frankly, I don't think Harry Truman need worry." Among others in the cast are Grace Carlson, who plays Mary Grant Matthews' wife; Gladys Sergeant, the third member in the triangle; Julian Stephens, the political boss; and Lee Saunders, the Washington reporter who feels that if Dewey had listened to him, he would have stood a better chance a better chance, that is, not a chance. Mrs. Carlson is new to OgJen audiences, but not new to the stage. Her acting has delighted theatre audiences throughout the country. Mrs. Sergeant is the acting instructor at Mound Fort high school and has appeared in numerous Ogden plays. Mr. Stephens is an actor and director of wide experience. He was the director of "The Young in Heart," the hilarious comedy which closed last year's Community Theatre season. Lee Saunders is a KLO announcer whose theatre ex perience includes parts in the New York Federal theatre.

Clark Telescope at the Lowell Observatory: Flagstaff, AZ
The 24″ refractor Clark Telescope was built in 1896 on Mars Hill over Flagstaff. It's the first of several telescopes built and operated by the Lowell Observatory, founded by Percival Lowell two years earlier. When Pluto was discovered from another telescope at the observatory 1930, its name was partially chosen because of his "PL" initials, though he had unfortunately passed away fourteen years earlier. Percival Lowell's dome-shaped mausoleum is located just steps away from the Clark, the telescope where he dedicated the last 23 years of his life to astronomy.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Highlighted by home games against Wisconsin, BYU and Ohio State, Washington State University Women's Basketball Head Coach June Daugherty announced the Cougars 2012-13 nonconference schedule Friday.
WSU will face nine postseason teams, including six NCAA Tournament teams and last year's WBI Champions during this season's nonconference slate. Washington State will host Western Oregon for an exhibition contest Nov. 3.
The Cougars open the season at the Opening Tournament hosted by the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis Nov.10-11. WSU will face the Gophers, the defending Women's Basketball Invitational champions, in the season opener before matching up against the winner/loser of the Villanova/South Dakota State matchup the following day. Both teams went to the postseason last year with SDSU appearing in the NCAA Tournament while Villanova advanced to the third round of the WNIT.
Washington State will play its next three games at Beasley Coliseum, hosting Monmouth University, Nov. 16, University of Wisconsin, Nov. 18 and Brigham Young University Nov. 24. Washington State posted a 69-51 victory over the Badgers in Madison last year while BYU is coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance after it claimed the West Coast Conference Tournament title last season. The game against BYU will also be a doubleheader with the Cougars men's basketball team and will be a day after the Apple Cup.
The Cougars head to California the final week of November to take on UC Riverside, Nov. 28 and NCAA Tournament participant Fresno State University, Nov. 30. The Bulldogs are the defending Western Athletic Conference champions.
Following a two-week break for finals, WSU will host The Ohio State University, Dec. 15. The Buckeyes make the return trip to Pullman after the Cougars traveled to Columbus last season. Both Daugherty and associate head coach Mike Daugherty played basketball for the Buckeyes with Daugherty (June) a member of the OSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
Washington State will close out its nonconference schedule with three road contests, heading east to face the University of Louisville, Dec. 18 in Kentucky. The Cougars dropped a 75-71 decision to the Cardinals in Beasley Coliseum last season. WSU will wrap up its road trip with a stop in New York to face 2012 WNIT semifinalist Syracuse University, Dec. 21.
The Cougars close out the 2012 calendar heading 75 miles north to Spokane, Wash. for a matchup against NCAA Tournament sweet 16 participant Gonzaga University, Dec. 30. Washington State dropped a two-point contest to the Bulldogs in Pullman last season after Gonzaga scored the game-winner in the final seconds.
WSU's Pac-12 Conference schedule will be announced at a later date.

Collaborative Models Built on Partnership and Integration
The MMRF has forged a courageous and dynamic approach to the methodology of cancer research. By overcoming previous pitfalls that held the industry back, the MMRF has propelled the frontier of multiple myeloma research to a new level. Essential to this approach are 4 groundbreaking initiatives that have revolutionized the way research and drug development are conducted. With these models, the MMRF can dramatically accelerate the pace at which lifesaving and new life-altering drugs can be brought to patients.
Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC)
Founded by Kathy Giusti in 2004, the MMRC was the first clinical network that brought together leading academic centers solely dedicated to Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. Today, the MMRC leads 16 entirely integrated member institutions propelled by highly defined metrics that mandate accountability and promote team-based science—a concept previously novel to the industry. The MMRC has campaigned more than 30 trials of today's most auspicious compounds and combinations where over 1000 patients—many of whom had run out of options—received lifesaving treatment. Notably, the MMRC began trials 60% faster and enrolled patients 10% faster than the industry standard. MMRC clinical trials currently have eight drug studies entering the last steps before FDA approval.
MMRC Tissue Bank
Launched with the MMRC in 2004, this is the first and largest multicenter, GLP-quality biobank that integrates patient tissue samples with corresponding laboratory and clinical data. The tissue bank provides researchers with an unprecedented critical mass of more than 3500 bone marrow aspirates and matched peripheral blood samples. For the first time, this allows them to conduct cutting-edge genomics studies as well as correlative science studies associated with MMRC clinical trials.
Multiple Myeloma Genomics Initiative (MMGI)
With the MMRC Tissue Bank serving as a cornerstone, the MMRC aligned its strategy with the Broad Institute and TGen to launch MMGI in 2006. MMGI is the world's leading comprehensive genome-mapping methodology of its kind. Its objective is to uncover the genes and molecular pathways involved in myeloma, and to identify new targetable, vulnerable, and druggable aspects of the disease. In 2009, the MMGI took another step forward with unparalleled advancement in myeloma genome mapping and has currently mapped the genomes of 100 patients and counting. All research is channeled into a public portal prior to publication. To date, over 900 researchers across the globe have accessed this intelligence.
Multiple Myeloma Personalized Medicine Initiative
The MMRF has never stopped pursuing all outlets of innovation in racing towards the goal of eradicating multiple myeloma. One such endeavor is personalized medicine. Supported by the MMRF's broad influence over clinical studies and the genomics industry, the Multiple Myeloma Personalized Medicine Initiative was founded in 2011. A cutting-edge program that aims to match patients with treatments customized to their individual molecular profile, the CoMMpassSM Study is an essential pillar of the Multiple Myeloma Personal Medicine Initiative. It is currently the first and largest study of its kind to focus on disease progression and response to treatment based on patients' genomic or molecular profiles. Similar to the MMGI, data from CoMMpass will be placed prior to publication into a public portal. More importantly, academic and pharmaceutical industry partners in this initiative have given up rights to any inventions, which will undoubtedly speed the drug-discovery process. CoMMpass is now enrolling patients at community and academic centers nationwide.
Resolute in the mission to help as many patients as possible, the MMRF has shared these models with many research organizations, opening the door to great leaps in innovation to advance treatment for a multitude of cancers and other life-altering diseases.
The table below shows how our collaborative techniques have helped confront and solve specific challenges to yield significant results and new innovations in patient care.

It is designed to assist in achieving reasonable safety of all persons and materials during the process of, or as the result of, rigging, lifting or moving of loads.
The Metropolitan Chapter is now the New York City Chapter. Chartered in 1924, the Metropolitan Chapter was the first Society chapter, according to Chapter President Peter Amato. "It originally included the Long Island and Hudson Valley sections before they became their own chapters," he says. The chapter's bylaws indicate its geographical area as the Five Boroughs of New York City. "In addition, Metropolitan can theoretically be anywhere," Amato says. The move to change the name began in July 2009, culminating on April 5 when the ASSE Council on Member and Region Affairs approved the motion to rename the chapter.
Several ASSE members were featured in an article about the SH&E profession published in the February/March 2010 issue of Career World, a magazine for high-school students who are college bound, as well as those heading directly into the workforce after graduation. The magazine is distributed to about 95,000 high schools across the country.
Entitled "Play It Safe," by Brian Fitzgerald, the article highlighted several SH&E professionals from various industries, and presented their advice on the profession. Members interviewed included:
The article offers an overview of the profession, advice and suggestions from the various SH&E professionals, and asks readers to think about other areas of the community that SH&E professionals might work.
Fred Miller, CSP, is now regional health, safety and environment coordinator for Stantec's U.S. eastern region.

The National Action Summit for Latino Worker Health and Safety was held to ensure that workers understand their rights to a safe workplace and to highlight the hazards and challenges faced by Latino workers. The event, held in Houston, TX, hosted workers and representatives from various organizations such as employer associations, SH&E professionals and community groups, and provided workshops, panelists and keynote speakers. ASSE Region III members and members of ASSE's Safety Professionals and the Latino Workforce (SPALW) group were also on hand to provide their expertise. "While workplace accidents nationwide are slowly decreasing, accidents among the Latino workforce are on the rise and we continue to help, through ASSE, to prevent those injuries and illnesses," says SPALW Chair Zeferino Banda.
ASSE members participated in many of the educational panels, SH&E classes and hazard recognition program, and helped provide insight for attendees. "We look forward to continuing our efforts in increasing workplace safety for all," says ASSE Region III ARVP of Finance Cindy Lewis. "ASSE provides many resources for Hispanics and those who work with a Latino workforce on how to communicate workplace risks and solutions all aimed at enhancing workplace safety for all."
On March 25, 2010, ASSE members participated in a Remember the Triangle event held in New York City. A meeting was held to discuss plans to have a permanent memorial installed at the Asch Building (now known as the Brown Building), site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. In addition to the memorial, meeting organizer Leigh Benin noted that children should always be taught about the tragedy, the lessons learned and that something positive resulted from it—the formation of ASSE. During the meeting, ASSE members also met with descendants of those who lost their lives in the fire, descendants of the Asch Building owners and the great-granddaughter of the lawyer who represented those owners in court.
We recently asked ASSE members to share their stories of following a parent into the SH&E profession or of having a son or daughter follow them into the safety profession.
Here's the story of Ed Kelley and daughter Kristin Herman.

Mariah Carey had an embarrassing incident when she nearly tripped and fell on Monday night's Jay Leno show. Read more and see video of Mariah's near-fall below.
Mariah Carey showed off her curves in a low cut black dress and super high heels. But those sexy heels almost caused Mariah to eat the floor when she tripped and stumbled before composing herself.
Carey laughed off the incident and told Jay Leno, "You know when I tripped, I had choreographed that earlier!"
After Mariah's interview, Leno helped the singer avoid any other mishaps by escorting her off the stage.
Mariah looks a bit more curvy than usual which has led many to speculate she and her hubby Nick Cannon could be expecting.

The exhibit at 715 Central Ave. features more than 20 contemporary works by five Northern California ceramics artists that explore themes centered on animals.
Hobart, 30, is an artist and art teacher from Marin who has shown his work professionally since 2002 and has been sculpting for nearly 18 years.
"Part of being an artist for me is spreading my passion and knowledge of ceramics and sculpture as a teacher," Hobart said.
He developed a passion for incorporating the environment into his art during his time among the redwoods at California State University, Humboldt.
As curator, Hobart chose artists for "Animals in Clay" who also draw inspiration from nature.
Other exhibitors are Bill Abright, Maile Iwanaga, Monica Van den Dool and Wesley Wright. Hobart described their styles as ranging from lighthearted to somber.
His own work, he said, explores the overlap of nature with humanity.
Hobart will speak about the exhibit during a gallery talk from noon to 2 p.m. Feb 16, a Saturday.
The exhibition runs through March 9. All events are free and open to the public.
