Bush's hydrogen fuel cell plan seen as long-term benefit (AP)'A Bush administration proposal to pump more money into hydrogen fuel cell research is aimed at finding an answer to one of the technology's most perplexing problems: how to get the fuel to where it can be used, when no such cars will be commercially available for years.

The Center for Service and Learning offers many different opportunities to UVSC students. Among these opportunties, is the Service-Learning Distinction program.

Baby taken from mall found OIC, suspects in custody Associated Press A baby kidnapped while his mother went to smoke a cigarette was found in good condition Wednesday at a YWCA facility in downtown Salt Lake City, and the suspects accused in the abduction were taken into custody. Earlier Wednesday, police said the transients who allegedly took the infant boy from the ZCMI shopping mall Tuesday night were trying to teach the mother a lesson. The suspects carried 212 month-old Nicholas into the YWCA in search of products to help them care for him, said Carrie Romano, chief development officer for the YWCA. She identified them and immediately called police. "They were coming to getresources-diapers, diaper ointment and formula," Romano said. "I'm so grateful that they saw us as a resource and that we were prepared and recognized them and the baby is now safe." The suspects and the mother,19-year-old Jennifer Triplett, were part of a group of seven homeless people The Rowdies showed a lacS of Esn t Snag any sharp objects when class at IDs game last Saturday Bis so ta see this mavis NelXNcws is your student produced news source For breaking news and calendar events visit NetXNews.net stydeont who socialized with each other, said Salt Lake City Police Lt. Jim Jensen. The group discussed that they believed Triplett wasn't caring for the child properly, Jensen said. When Triplett left the ZCMI Mall food court around 6 p.m. Tuesday for a cigarette, she left her son with the group. Upon return, her son, baby carriage and diaper bag were gone, Jensen said. A "Rachael Alert"- Utah's version of the Amber Alert child-abduction warning system was issued at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to find the child. Jensen said police delayed using the Rachael Alert because "it wasn't a stranger abduction. These are people who know each other, socialize with each other." Triplett said she lives in a family shelter because she lost her job. Her son suffers respiratory problems, she said, but she's caring for him as best she can.

College is one of the busiest times in a person's life. Students balance work, school, extra-cirricular activities and occasionally sleep. Lack of time is often cited as a major reason for not participating in volunteering work. "There is always time to volunteer," said Rachel Bryson, coordinator of the UVSC Center for Service and Learning. "You can always find an hour a week of time you spend just.... doing nothing. If you can organize yourself and find just an hour a week to volunteer... it's makes so much difference." The Center for Service and Learning provides hundreds of opportunities for students to volunteer in Utah County. "We have connections to over a hundred agencies in Utah County and depending on the level of involvement. . . people can find things. . .if they have only one hour every month to spend they can do something and it will make a difference to some place, some where, some NetNews News from the world wide web: NewsPoftcs CNN.com Foxnews.com wsj.com nytimes.com netxnews.net christiansciencemonitor.com Entertainment: theonion.com eonline.com launch.yahoo.com moviefone.com allthetests.com 'Music Online: billboard.com liquidaudio.com hardcorejukebox.com 'Student helps: howtostudy.com makingcollegecount.com edu.com fastweb.com firetalk.com 'Sports: uvsc.eduathletes majorleaguebaseball.com nflfans.com nfltalk.com nhl.com espn.go.com nba.com wnba.com I320kfan.com cougarnet.com Rape crisis center looking for volunteers krvslal Hired Utah county crisis line is in need of volunteers answering phones, listening, referring, and helping people deal with problems in their life.

By providing referrals people can help alleviate the challenges accompanying callers with their difficult circumstances such as relationships, stress, depression, suicide, economic problems, physicalsexual abuse, and drug use. The job itself isn't difficult. Many of the volunteers bring their homework for in-between calls. The schedule is one s people," said Bryson. There are many different volunteer options available to students and other members of the community so no matter what a student's interests, time constraints, or skills, there is likely an opportunity available to fit their needs. Some students may feel that they don't have the skills to be of any real help to anyone or any organization. All that a student needs to serve is willingness. Also, students may have more skills that they believe they do. Bryson said, "There are so many needs in the community that require specialized kinds of skills and often it's college students who have those skills, either they're learning them in classes or they have jobs with those skills." In addition to individual volunteer opportunities, the Center for Service and Learning also offers students a Service-Learning Distinction program.
