The bomber set of the explosion at a shopping mall in Kfar Saba, Israel. At least 20 people were injured in the blast which included an infant and a 2-year-old girl. In a phone call a group identified as the Jerusalem Brigades claimed responsibility, which they stated was a response to the deaths of two Hamas members killed earlier in the week. Major Earthquake in Alaska The largest earthquake recorded in North American occurred last Sunday. The earthquake that struck 75 miles south of Fairbanks, Alaska registered at a magnitude of 7.9. The earthquake, which struck at 1:12 p.m., was felt throughout the entire state. The Alaska Earthquake Information Center reported that the quake was a shallow one, meaning it was centered only 3 miles below the earth's surface. No injuries were reported. Winter Storms on the Way According to David James, the manager of the Brigham Young University weather station, we may be getting regular snowfall in the valley this week. James stated "It wouldn't surprise me if by the second week in November we start getting some regular snowfall in the valley." This is good news for the valley because of the drought we have been experiencing and the ski resorts across the state. Most of Utah's ski resorts plan to open before Thanksgiving. $25 for Freedom of Speech In the small town of Virgin, Utah, residents are charged $25 each time they speak. The Mayor Jay Lee was the fabricator of the fee, which was put in place in order to keep meetings short and civil, instead of turning into "gripe session," as Lee called them. Lee has canceled the entire public comment periods of town meeting before in order to save time. . ;.(i,:risi:iis(iTiii; bib ido the tire ; NetXNews.net Don't forget, you can see NetXNevs broadcast daily on the campus montiors every hour on the hour.

They are focusing on preventing suicide, especially among youth, in Utah County. "We are currently looking at all angles on how to combat suicide in out region," said Greg Hud-nall, Student Service Director for the Provo School District. "Our committee will implement help from agencies, clergy, parents youth groups- from everyone who has solutions to help us deal with this tragic problem." Dr. Kenneth Tuttle (IHC) thinks that it is a communities' job to get involved. "Ideally, schools, mental health agencies and hospitals should be working together, not only to provide effective treatment for at-risk children, but also to provide better social support to our children in the schools with volunteer groups," Tuttle said. The groups coming together to work along side of the Provo School District are the Provo City Intermountain Health Care (IHC), Utah county Department of Health, and several church, youth and civic groups. All together there are a total of 28 Provo agencies getting involved. Suicide ranks third as a cause of death among young (15-24 year old) Americans, behind accidents and homicide. The State of Utah ranks 5th nationwide in suicides. During 2001 when there were seven adults and two juveniles that killed Steve Hamburger NetXNews themselves in Provo. This year five adults and two juveniles have committed suicide so far and there are two more months to go. "This is not a school district problem. This is a community problem. And if we're going to address it, it has to be everyone coming to the table together," said Hudnall. The program will include public education through pamphlets, speakers and a conference. Booths will be set up all over Provo during community events, fairs and meetings. There will even be a booth set up at the Provo Towne Center Mall. The conference in April will have expert speakers and is free to the public.

Security Council that makes clear that Iraq must disarm, a senior administration official said. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the proposal has broad council support. Secretary of State Colin Powell worked out some of the final points during a telephone conversation with French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, the official said. The Security Council plans to meet Wednesday morning to consider the U.S. draft. The official said the resolution, the product of six weeks' intense debate, takes into account the views of the United States and other council members. "It makes clear that Iraq is in material breach (of prior resolutions)," the official said. Earlier, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher spoke of "growing support in the council for a strong resolution that makes clear to Iraq that it has failed to comply in the past, that it needs to comply with a tough inspection regime, that there'll be serious consequences if it doesn't." Powell also conferred during the day with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and three foreign ministers, Igor Ivanov of Russia, Jorge Castaneda of Mexico and Joschka Fischer of Germany. The text has been revised to reflect protracted diplomacy involving France, Russia and other Security Council members that object to threatening war against Iraq if it should refuse to disarm or to cooperate with weapons inspectors.After voting Tuesday in Crawford, Texas, President Bush ignored a reporter's question about whether he thought a compromise resolution was near.

OnAccess is involved with such things as registration, grades, and book match over the inter net. People with a iers - J ers Jed Smedley NETXNEWS MAC users are being left out of the ONACCESS loop. If you have a MAC Macintosh comput- not be ab,e to use ONAC- have had difficulties in using OnAccess or they have not been able to use it at all. The Center for Student Computing (CSC) has been testing all the possibilities to determine why Macintosh computers have been having such a problem. The testing came to the conclusion that the problem was in the older Internet Explorer by Microsoft. The Internet Explorer has a layering JAVA script that just does not allow things through the OnAccess to work on a Macintosh. The newer version, version 7, of Netscape works fine with the Macintosh allowing people to be able to access OnAccess. "The administration had problems with the social security number login," said David Tobler, Director of CSC. "And so we made it so there was a different student portal, this brought "Onaccess" continued on pg. 3 page. "Iraq" continued on pg. 3
