Real-life lesson learned at WSU conference

OGDEN -- Mound Fort Junior High School students who attended last week's Weber State University "Preparing for the Real World" conference got a real-life lesson on adapting when things go wrong. So did conference organizers.

Multicultural Youth Conference begins Friday

OGDEN -- Minority students from Ogden, Davis and Weber school districts will converge on Weber State University for the 17th annual Multicultural Youth Conference.

Cultural Cuisine: Defense Logistics Agency employees celebrate Multicultural Day

HILL AIR FORCE BASE -- With airmen stationed there from all over the world, Hill Air Force Base has an employee base that's one of the most diverse in the state -- and on Tuesday, you could taste it.

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation group at Hill held a Multicultural Day featuring authentic ethnic food from Africa, America, Barbados, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and Scotland, as well as cuisine from Native American and other cultures.

WSU students: What would you say behind my back?

OGDEN -- If you traveled to a foreign land and strangers on the street looked you over, what would they say about you behind your back?

And what if you handed them a marker and asked them to write impressions, good or bad, on the back of your T-shirt?

(The Associated Press) This is an undated image obtained from the Twitter page of Anders Behring Breivik, 32, who was arrested Friday in connection with the twin attacks on a youth camp and a government building in Oslo, Norway. Breivik is a suspect in both the shootings and the Oslo explosion Friday.

Norwegian police probe darker side of boyish-looking suspect

VIENNA — In the photographs now circulating around the world, Anders Behring Breivik looks almost preppy. Neatly parted blond hair frames a boyishly handsome face. The upturned collar of a peach-colored polo shirt pokes through a dark Izod sweater.

It’s hard to reconcile the softly smiling young man in these professional studio shots with the monster who witnesses say donned a police uniform and ruthlessly hunted down scores of young Norwegians, even firing at those who jumped into freezing water in a desperate bid to escape his rampage.

“I’ll kill every one of you,” he shouted at victims, witnesses recalled.
