State lists 10 probable swine flu cases
The Great Northwest Athletic Conference on Thursday night canceled this weekend's conference track and field championship meet in Monmouth, Ore., because of a probable single case of swine flu on the Western Oregon University campus, which will be closed at least through Monday.
Western Oregon also postponed a four-game baseball series this weekend at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, and a four-game softball series at Western Washington University in Bellingham.

Seattle Times

Music & Nightlife
Tonight: In all of 20th-century music, few works reach the sublime heights of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana." There's nothing subtle about this barrage of orchestral and choral music — its scope is epic, its pacing cathartic, its lyrics in Latin. Hollywood has long felt "Carmina Burana's" blockbuster gravitas: Its opening movement, "O Fortuna," appears in films as varied as "The Omen," "Excalibur," "The Doors" and "Natural Born Killers." Tonight the Seattle Peace Chorus — 65 singers strong — plus the Western Washington University Orchestra will wallop Town Hall with the full 90-minute performance. It starts at 8 p.m. ($13-$17).
