Chemical Oxidation Applications for Industrial Wastewaters
Industrial pollution control is the most important field of environmental protection. Its importance originates from the impact of wastewaters, and other pollutants, emanating from a variety industrial activities. This impact is mostly through toxic, hazardous components of the wastewaters which demonstrates itself as acute responses e.g. toxicity as well as long-term consequences such as carcinogenicity and bioaccumulation in the environment. Another challenging feature of industrial pollutions is its diversity in terms of both manufacturing processes and the pollutants involved in the waste streams. Micropollutants, a most characteristic outcome of industrial pollution, are the compounds with which the nature cannot deal and mitigate their impact to prevent excessive damage on natural processes of all kinds. Therefore, industrial pollution control and treatment, mostly aims to either totally destroy or convert the micropollutants and other toxic pollutants into such forms that the nature can cope with them properly. Within this context, one of the most effective tools for the treatment and control of toxic pollutants is chemical oxidation.
The primary function of chemical oxidation is to destroy a pollutant e.g. mineralization of an organic matter or to modify its structure so as to be accommodated by conventional treatment methods or natural processes. That is why the role of chemical oxidation in the control of industrial wastewaters has become increasingly important. One of the advantages of chemical oxidation is its almost innumerable modes of operation as far as the oxidants, combination of methods and environmental conditions are concerned. As a result of these chemical oxidation applications to industrial wastewaters has long been a focus of research giving rise to a significant accumulation of knowledge and literature.

Textile Industry
The extreme complexity and variety of textile preparation, dyeing and finishing industry wastewater make the overall evaluation and global unification of treatability studies devoted to the effluent originating from this huge sector rather difficult. For instance, operating costs of electrochemical, photochemical, photocatalytic treatment systems as well as processes where oxidant production are mainly based on the use of electrical energy (ozone, electron beam irradiation, sonolysis, etc.) are mainly assessed with respect to electrical energy consumption calculations. On the other hand, in solar irradiation applications the costs of the collector material per unit area may play a decisive role in determination of investment costs. In other applications (wet air oxidation, wet peroxidation, supercritical water oxidation, or catalytic wet air oxidation) capital investments are relatively high; reactor materials and associated equipments (pressure-tight valves, high pressure pumps, heating devices, etc.) are mainly contributing to the overall costs, but energy self-sustainable systems can be operated below a certain calorific value provided by high-strength waste streams. The colour parameter is one of the major concerns of dyehouse effluent due to ecotoxicological risks imposed by its metabolites in the discharged environment and for aesthetic reasons. All the above exemplified chemical oxidation processes are quite effective in the removal of colour from dyehouse effluent. In most treatment cases complete oxidation cannot be achieved under technically/economically feasible treatment conditions. It can be concluded and in particular the more energy (cost)-intensive advanced treatment process should be applied in combination with conventional ones for pre- or post- treatment purposes. Depending on the chemical oxidation process employed, more recalcitrant and/or toxic oxidation intermediates or end products can be formed during treatment of textile industry wastewater. For instance, investigators of electrochemical treatment processes have reported the formation of active chlorine species as well as organically-bound organic halogens (AOX) that increase the toxicity of the treated wastewater to levels being more detrimental than that of the original dyehouse effluent not being subjected to chemical oxidation. Considering the fact that the main purpose of chemical oxidation is to reduce the toxicity and inertness of textile industry wastewater, it is important to verify in preliminary treatability experiments under what chemical reaction conditions potentially toxic oxidation intermediates build up in the reaction solution. Most of the emerging, advanced chemical oxidation processes are still not affordable in large scale for textile industry wastewater treatment; in particular no application exists for treatment of real dyehouse effluent via supercritical oxidation or sonolysis. Studies devoted to these advanced oxidation processes are limited to aqueous dye solutions. More efficient means of cavitational energy production from different sources and the development of more efficient heterogeneous catalysts that promote the application under milder, e.g. sub-critical conditions could be encouraged in future studies.
Leather Tanning Industry
The leather tanning industry is of a considerable pollution load in terms of both organic and toxic parameters. Water pollution control in the industry can be best managed by segregation of waste streams into three main flows: sulphide containing flows, chrome containing flows and other waste flows. Evaluation of other in-plant control methods together with newly developed process modifications has also been made. Control of reduced sulphide species in the segregated waste stream has been carried out by chemical oxidation. Catalytic air oxidation, which has been the most common method, has been evaluated in terms of theoretical and practical aspects. A critical assessment of design and operation parameters has been made. Use of other oxidants was also evaluated. Hydrogen peroxide was suggested for use as a polishing step. Among other oxidation applications reviewed electrooxidation and and peroxymonosulphate oxidation have been evaluated as promising methods. Other chemical oxidation applications to combined raw, mechanically treated and biologically treated effluents were also critically evaluated in terms of enhancement of biodegradability, reduction of toxicity, colour removal and reduction biologically inert COD. Electrochemical oxidation methods applied to pretreated wastewater were evaluated as promising technologies. Ozone was determined to preferentially oxidize biodegradable COD and suggested for use within or after biological treatment. The assessment of advanced oxidation methods indicated their high potential of application to secondary effluent as a polishing step.
Metal Finishing Industry
The metal finishing industry is one of the largest industrial activities in the world using a wide range of chemicals. If not properly managed, the chemicals used in the metal finishing operations may adversely impact public health and the environment. The best management policy encompasses efficient raw material, energy and water usage; (ii) the substitution by less harmful chemical in the production; and (iii) minimisation, recovery and recycling of wastewater and wastes. Capital, operation and maintenance costs as well as achievable treatment levels are important key factors for wastewater and waste minimisation, recovery and recycling implementations. When these factors are considered, stream segregation seems to be the most feasible approach in the treatment of metal finishing industry wastewaters with different character in the view of maximisation of removal performance and reduction of treatment cost. Within this context, the application of oxidation/reduction techniques to stream segregated flows of the metal finishing industry can be evaluated as follows.
Oxidation/reduction techniques used in the treatment of cyanide, hexavalent chromium and precious metals bearing wastewaters are well-established and straightforward methods. Among them, alkaline chlorination for the destruction of cyanide, chemical reduction by reduced sulphur compounds for reduction of hexavalent chromium and electrolytic metal recovery for precious metals are the most widely used treatment methods in the metal finishing industry facilities because of moderately low costs. When properly applied, satisfactory removal efficiencies ensuring discharge standards can be satisfied by these methods. Some oxidation/reduction techniques, particularly those used in the treatment of complexed metals, are sensitive to reaction conditions and their misapplications result in unsatisfactory pollutant removal efficiencies. Some methods yield partial oxidation products of pollutants or certain by-products such as cyanate, ammonia, nitrate and sulphate which necessitate an additional treatment step prior to discharge to receiving media. Some processes are expensive to operate and/or energy-intensive methods and hence they are considered economically applicable only for the source-based treatment or for the treatment of small wastewater volumes. Some techniques such as photochemical and photocatalytic oxidations required specific reactor designs. Application of some techniques such as electrocoagulation produces treatment sludge and brings on an additional sludge treatment costs. Therefore, optimisation of operation conditions is a crucial step to minimise sludge production and operating costs as well as to maximise process performance. Besides these limitations and economical constrains, all oxidation/reduction techniques introduced in this chapter of the book are effective treatment methods in the removal of specific waste groups of the metal finishing industry under the defined operation conditions.
Pharmaceutical Industry
The occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals in the environment and particularly in aquatic media have received considerable attention by scientists during the last two decades. Although they appear at relatively low concentrations, they may impose serious negative effects on water quality. Pharmaceutical processes use numerous raw materials and generate significant wastes and emissions of considerable variability and complexity. However, compared to other industries, production and process profiles are relatively well established and environmental management procedures have been standardised. In designing bulk manufacturing processes special consideration has been given to the availability of the starting materials and their toxicity as well as wastes (mother liquors, filter residues, by-products, cleaning and rinse water) and emissions generated. Due to purity concerns, solvents that are considered as the most toxic and/or hazardous compounds of pharmaceutical manufacturing activities are often not reused but sold for non-pharmaceutical uses, fuel blending, recycled or destroyed via incineration. Specific chemicals produced in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes enter aquatic and terrestrial environments mainly through non-point sources and different routes via discharge of industrial, agricultural and domestic wastewater. A considerable scientific literature exists in the treatability of different pharmaceuticals in aqueous solutions or real pharmaceutical wastewater, however scientific reports have focused on the chemical oxidation of aqueous model pollutants (analgesics, antibiotics, hormones, etc.) being typical for this industry. Consequently, it becomes very difficult to draw general information from the available data about the merits of chemical oxidation processes for the treatment of actual pharmaceutical wastewater. Recent treatability studies have demonstrated that most pharmaceutical formulations can be efficiently treated with emerging processes including AOP and ozonation. From the practical point of view, treatment-at-source may be a more realistic option at drinking water plants where ground and surface waters can be chemically oxidised to achieve destruction of pharmaceuticals together with other micropollutants as well as at pharmaceuticals manufacturing plants where formulation effluents are generated.
Pulp and Paper Industry
Pulp and paper industry is a globally growing industry that consumes a significant amount of natural resources, raw materials and energy. Due to this fact, minimising the environmental impact of this sector is important. The characteristics of the wastewaters generated from various processes of the pulp and paper industry depend upon the types of processes and wood materials, process technology applied, management practices, internal recirculation of the effluent for recovery and the amount of water being used in a particular process. The majority of pollutants released in pulp and paper industry originate from the pulping and bleaching stages. The high organic content of pulping wastewater, coupled with the presence of chlorine, results in the production of many highly toxic chlorinated organic compounds. Of prime concern are chlorinated phenols, guaiacols, catechols, furans, dioxins, aliphatic hydrocarbons. Some members of this family are known to be toxic, mutagenic, persistent, and bio-accumulating and are thought to cause numerous harmful disturbances in biological systems, and pose a human health risk through long-term exposure via drinking water and through bioaccumulation along the food chain. End-of-pipe treatment of wastewaters can be accomplished by integration of traditional biological treatment processes with chemical/advanced oxidation applications. Chemical oxidation technologies have revealed that the applied processes are effective and promising applications for the treatment of pulp and paper industry wastewaters. Ozonation is efficient in removing COD, TOC and colour as well as increasing the biodegradability of the wastewater in many cases. However, it is rather an expensive process. Wet oxidation in its modifications (catalytic wet oxidation) is an effective technology in reducing the COD content of the wastewater and enhancing the biodegradability. AOPs such as Fenton, photo-Fenton, H2O2/UV-C proved to be effective when they are applied as tertiary treatment process. Electrochemical methods proved to be an efficient treatment option for the treatment of pulp and paper industry wastewaters. Combinations of two or more physicochemical processes can be used for the enhancement of removal efficiencies. Currently, the most important task seems to be the assessment of the operating conditions of chemical oxidation processes with regard to specific use of chemical oxidation and its way of coupling with biological treatment.
Pesticide Industry
The pesticide industry is an important part of the world economy. In pesticide industry, the manufactured pesticides are complicated organic molecules and their production requires the operation of sophisticated chemical processes and due to this sophisticated process, pesticide industry wastewaters contain a variety of pollutants. It is not possible setting one generic wastewater discharge characteristics for all pesticide manufacturing processes because of the differences in wastewater quality generated. Chemical oxidation processes such as ozonation, ozone-based AOPs, H2O2/UV, Fenton, and Fenton-based AOPs etc. are used as a pretreatment stage to enhance biodegradability and reduce toxicity, prior to biological treatment in pesticide industry and these technologies are found to be effective. Biodegradability of pesticide industry wastewaters can be improved, and their phytotoxicity can be reduced after the application of AOPs. An important aspect in the chemical oxidation applications to pesticide industry wastewater is to determine to extent of oxidation in a way that while the toxicity is minimised to keep an adequate level of organic matter to support biological treatment. Beyond the technical feasibility, this point is also important in terms of economical point of view.
Gold and Silver Mining
Many real gold mines processing large pieces are no longer available all over the world. In consequence of this exhaustion, gold has to be mostly beneficiated from their low-grade ores using the extracting techniques. One of the main obstacles in extracting gold or silver from their low-grade ores is the separation from the gangue. In order to separate gold or silver with high recovery efficiencies, cyanidation has been still the most common applied leaching technique, all over the world, since 1890 owing to its inherent advantages on recovery process. Additionally, flotation process applied for the recovery of base metals such as copper, lead, and zinc, is accomplished using low concentrations of cyanide. Thus, these operations realised with either low or high cyanide concentration are addressed potential toxicity issues in regard to the ecologic system surrounding the mine sites as well as human life. This potential hazard to environment has also been exactly pointed out the catastrophic failures of some tailings impoundments resulting in their mismanagement operations or their faulty designs. During the last decade, this serious environmental concern has been triggered efforts on the replacement of cyanide with less hazardous lixiviant in gold and silver mining facilities. Widespread research has been undertaken for the identification and development of less toxic lixiviants. Results obtained from these studies performed at laboratory or full scale demonstrated that leaching with thiourea, thiosulphate, thiocyanate, and halides can replace with cyanidation but there are some limitations hindering their widespread adaptation in gold mining operations. For instance, in spite of their effectiveness, thiourea and thiosulphate are unstable and exhibit low recycle efficiencies. Additionally, their detoxification costs are relatively expensive. Halides are expensive and difficult to handle and control. Recovery with thiocyanate is still under research. The patented coal-oil agglomeration process seems to be replaced with mercury amalgamation as it is only suited to process free gold particles. In view of these findings, cyanide will still continue to be used as the lixiviant in gold and silver mining sites unless a plausible, benign and environmentally friendly non-cyanide alternative is found out and proved with all aspects including occupational safety, environmental safety, availability, selectivity, recyclability, detoxifiability, and feasibility at a large scale. Within this framework, rigorous adherence to the best management practices for cyanidation process in the gold and silver mining sites is crucial.
Chemicals Industry
Chemical oxidation applications are used for the control of chemical industry wastewaters. Organic chemicals manufacturing industry produces wastewaters having high organic matter content which is for the most part biodegradable and can be handled by biological treatment, however, the main pollution control problem lies in the micropollutant content of wastewater. The control of micropollutants used to rely on polishing treatment methods such as adsorption that are employed in the end-of-pipe treatment plant and mostly following biological treatment. The new approach is the control of micropollutants at the source by the use of pretreatment technologies as an integrated part of manufacturing processes. This new approach has been reflected in the evaluation of wastewater control strategies of the industry. The emphasis has been placed upon the control of micropollutants at the source by the application of chemical oxidation methods. Wet oxidation application in its various modification as well as newly developed and quite effective reductive dechlorination applications have been assessed as far as targeted pollutants and operation methodologies are concerned. Among the other chemical oxidation methods the two promising applications; Fenton's oxidation and electrochemical oxidation, particularly by the use of newly developed quite effective electrode materials, have been critically evaluated.
Other Industries and Municipal Landfill Leachate
Alcohol distilleries
Alcohol distilleries, a common process, worldwide, produce concentrated wastewaters containing only organic matter as a pollutant. This waste stream needs to be pretreated to remove hardly biodegradable polyphenol content and enhancement of biodegradability, prior to aerobic or anaerobic biological treatment. Chemical oxidation processes have been exclusively employed for the pretreatment. The promising technologies, ozonation which removes polyphenols selectively, advanced oxidation processes and electrooxidation have been evaluated regarding to their effectiveness and application bases. Electrocoagulation process with its very high organic matter removal performance seemed to serve not only as a pretreatment but functioning as a part of end-of-pipe treatment.
Olive Oil Industry
The olive oil industry presents a crucial sector for many Mediterranean Countries that account for almost 95% of the olive oil production worldwide. Olive mill effluent constitutes a serious water pollution problem, due to the unique features associated with this type of agro-wastewater, namely seasonal and localized production and its polyphenolic, difficult-to-degrade, high organic carbon content. Olive mill wastewater is considered as eco-toxicologically dangerous affecting all biota in water and soil; its dark, brownish colour inhibits the absorption of sunlight utilised by photosynthetically growing organisms and also forms a film layer on the water surface thus preventing oxygen transport from air to water. Different physical, chemical and biological processes have so far been proposed for olive mill effluent treatment. However, none of them have proven to be successful and therefore advanced treatment combinations are currently being investigated. Among them, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have received considerable attention in the past few years including ozonation, wet air oxidation, electrolysis, Fenton, Photo-Fenton as well as TiO2-mediated heterogeneous photocatalytic treatment were intensively investigated for complete toxicity and phenolics removal accompanied with partial oxidation of organic matter. Moreover, attempts have been made to integrate AOPs with biological processes to enhance the overall treatment efficiency and decrease operating costs associated with AOPs.
Municipal landfill leachate
Municipal landfill leachate is a liquid waste percolating through or emerging from solid waste. It can be collected using several systems and contains soluble, suspended, or miscible constituents removed from solid wastes. Biological processes including aerobic and anaerobic systems are the most common treatment methods used to treat landfill leachate with high organic matter contents. The combinations of biological processes with physical and chemical treatment methods are also widely applied to landfill leachates. Among them physico-chemical treatment techniques, oxidation methods such as Fenton, photo-Fenton and other advanced oxidation processes are capable of enhancing the abatement of recalcitrant organic molecules or converting them into more readily biodegradable forms in old and biologically treated landfill leachates. Recently, electrochemical techniques proved to be very efficient in reducing organic matter and colour and oxidising ammonia from raw and pretreated landfill leachate.

The number of Princess Cruises illnesses has risen and authorities say that 66 passengers and 17 crew members have now been sickened by the highly contagious norovirus. It was previously reported on Monday that 37 passengers fell ill while the cruise ship was docked in San Diego. A report from the Associated Press via ABC News on April 9 confirmed that the Princess Cruises illnesses were caused by norovirus, a common gastrointestinal virus that can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
The virus is transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact, and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces, Wikipedia writes.
The Crown Princess of Princess Cruises left Los Angeles on April 5 for a seven-day cruise along the coast of California. Due to the norovirus outbreak, the ship was forced to quarantine the sick in their cabins.
Regarding the Princess Cruises illnesses, Princess Cruises spokeswoman Karen Candy said that crew members performed extensive surface cleaning and applied disinfecting gel throughout the ship to prevent further spread of the virus.
Passengers were also encouraged to use their own bathrooms when possible and wash hands regularly. The Crown Princess is on a seven day cruise that includes various stops in California after leaving from Los Angeles on Saturday.
There were seven cases of norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships last year, with a total of 1,238 passengers. That's less than one percent of 21 million passengers who traveled on the Cruise Line International Association of that year, UT San Diego reports.
The Center for Disease Control reported that another Princess Cruise ship was hit with an outbreak of norovirus this year. Reports indicate that 181 passengers and 11 crew members were affected by the disease while on the Caribbean Princess.
Earlier this year, more than 300 people on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship became sick during a voyage. According to the statement regarding the matter, 281 of the 3,050 passengers and 22 of 1,165 crew members of Explorer of the Seas suffered vomiting and diarrhea. The CDC said the cause of the illness was unknown, CNN reports. More on that story in the video above this article.
The CDC is currently investigating the Princess Cruises illnesses and an official report regarding the incident is expected to be released soon. Updates to this story will be posted here as they are made available.

Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, will be observed this year from sundown on Friday, Sept 13. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a day of fasting and prayer that is celebrated on the 10th of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, 10 days after Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Yom Kippur marks the end of the "Ten Days of Repentance," or the "High Holidays," and grants Jews a last opportunity to obtain forgiveness and absolution for their sins in the previous year. According to Jewish belief, on Yom Kippur judgment is passed on each person for the coming year. In order to be worthy of forgiveness from sins, this day is devoted to spiritual repentance and a commitment to start the new year with a clean conscience, secure in the knowledge that God forgives every person who truly regrets his misdeeds.
The idea of purification is fulfilled by fasting: on Yom Kippur observant Jews fast from the evening of the holy day until the following night. The fast is intended to not only cause physical discomfort, but to relieve a person of involvement in physical matters so that he can concentrate on the prayer and spiritual introspection required on this day.
Even though most of the Jewish population in Israel is not religiously observant, Yom Kippur has and remains a special day for all and has retained its unique character. Many Jews who define themselves as secular and do not visit the synagogue all year long, go to prayer services on the special day, and many also observe the fast, completely or partially.
Holiday Customs
- asking for forgiveness. In addition to the prayers during the days of repentance preceding Yom Kippur, on the holy day itself or before it, it is customary to ask forgiveness from anyone whom one might have offended. According to Jewish belief, Yom Kippur atones for the sins between man and God, but not between man and his fellow man - people must grant one another forgiveness individually.
The meal before the fast
- on the eve of Yom Kippur there is a religious precept to eat a holiday meal that ends before the beginning of the fast at sunset. The fast begins immediately after the meal.
- Religious Jews spend the whole of Yom Kippur day in synagogue devoting themselves to prayer. The prayers include a general admission of sins, and each person silently adds his own personal sins. One of the important prayers is Kol Nidrei - All Vows, named after the opening words of the first prayer, which cancels any vows that a person has made. It is customary to go to synagogue dressed in holiday clothing, and many people wear all white clothes, symbolizing purity.
The blowing of the shofar
- At the close of Yom Kippur, the shofar - a ram's horn - is blown to mark the end of the day of prayer and fasting.
On Yom Kippur there is almost no traffic on the roads, and many families go for walks along the city streets. Even in Tel Aviv, a city with a clearly secular character, where there is hardly a day or an hour when businesses are not open and the street are always full of cars, car owners respect Yom Kippur and avoid driving on this day.
Children of all ages, on the other hand, take advantage of this day when the streets are empty and are out on their bicycles, roller blades and skateboards. All businesses are closed on Yom Kippur, including those that are usually open on Shabbat. All Israeli radio and TV broadcasts are also suspended, and only the foreign stations have programming as usual.

The College first admitted women in 1969. In March of the same year, the Nursing School announced that it would accept applications from male students. The dean of the School, Sister Rita Marie Bergeron, OSB, cited expanding the supply of professional nurses as the main reason for the change. Three male students graduated in 1976, among them Richard Haas, the first male to enroll. In an interview published in The Washington Post on May 17, 1976, Mr. Haas recounted how, as a volunteer firefighter in Prince George's County, he was nicknamed "Flo" and was continually questioned and teased by his fellow firefighters about his status as a nursing student. However, that changed when "we had an accident where two people were killed and seven were lying in the street. A little girl was pinned under a car. Nobody knew where to start. I kept pressure on the girl's femoral artery for 45 minutes [and saved her life]' Nobody asked me any questions after that."

Gov. Jack Markell signed into law Senate Bill 6 in to law yesterday. The new law will raise Delaware's minimum wage to $8.25 in two incremental steps over the next two and a half years. The minimum wage will go up 50 cents to $7.75 on June 1. Another 50 cent increase will come on June 1 of 2015.
Delaware last increased its minimum wage in 2009, when the federal government increased the national minimum wage to its current level. Once the full increase is implemented, Delaware will be on par with New Jersey, where the current minimum wage is $8.25. The current minimum wage in the nearby states of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania is $7.25.
According to the Delaware Department of Labor, up to 40,000 people, nearly 10 percent of Delaware's workers, could be affected, either directly or indirectly, by this increase.
"Even as we have made progress in creating more jobs and getting our state's economy on track, we have much more to do to give opportunity to those earning minimum wage," Markell said. "I am proud to sign this bill and wanted to do so on the same day it passed to reflect the commitment that I and many members of the General Assembly share: we cannot wait any longer to get this done. Raising the minimum wage represents one of the fastest ways we can act to give a boost to many struggling working families."

Obesity is a preventable disease but is still one of the leading causes of death in our society.
Obesity contributes to pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers, gall bladder disease among others.
Reasons being poor diet, physical inactivity, and combining excessive weight with alcohol, drugs, and smoking additions.
Poor diet: eating junk foods, processed foods, and drinking soda are all bad habits that can and will make you obese over time.
Physical inactivity: Couch potato, internet fanatic, and an office job are all sedentary lifestyle problems that contribute to weight gain.
Alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health and can pack on the pounds.
Drugs: prescription and street drugs can both be harmful to your health, too much can lead to other health problems, addition, or premature death.

Requirements for Honors in History
- 10 history courses (with a grade of "C" or better), which include:
History 4000 (Honors Proseminar), taken in junior year. Majors wishing to continue to HIST 4001 are required to find a thesis supervisor by May 1st of their Junior year.
History 4001 (Honors Guidance: Thesis Research) taken in the first semester of senior year
History 4002 (Honors Guidance: Thesis Writing) taken in the second semester of senior year.
- At least a 3.5 average within the History department.
- 3 of the ten courses must be in history before 1800.
- 4 of the ten courses must be outside of U.S. History.
- 2 of the ten courses, must be seminars. One of these seminars must be a 4000-level seminar. HIST 4000, 4001, 4002 and service-learning 4000-level courses may not be used to fulfill the 4000-level seminar requirement.
Note: History majors who wish both to study abroad (or in Cornell-in-Washington) and to enter the honors program should consult their advisors or the DUS as soon as possible after declaring a major. The department requires honors students to enroll in History 4000 before writing a thesis in their senior year, and cannot enroll simultaneously in 4000 and 4001 (the first term of thesis-writing). So planning ahead is essential, especially if you intend to spend a full year abroad.

Gilad Atzmon: In the Small Hours
In the Small Hours
Gilad Atzmon & The Orient House Ensemble
Refuge (Enja)
Gilad Atzmon (alto sax),
Frank Harrison (electric piano), Yaron Stavi (bass), Asaf Sirkis (drums).
Composed by Gilad Atzmon.
Recorded: London, no date given (probably 2007)
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
On this track, multi-reed player Gilad Atzmon displays a beautiful, huge alto sound that exudes feeling on a lush ballad built in a most classical and efficient way. One often thinks of Cannonball Adderley as an obvious influence, both as far as alto tone and articulation are concerned, but also because of the use of the Fender Rhodes to provide both harmonic background and atmosphere. Some mainly see Atzmon as an artist who frequently expresses his provocative political opinions on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (which he fled by emigrating to London). Others are not too sensitive to his world-music oriented compositions. A track like this should simply convince everyone that Gilad Atzmon can also be a deeply rooted jazz stylist.

Pre-Market Primer: Markets Reel From Italian Deadlock; US Futures Up Ahead of Housing Data, Bernanke Testimony
Vincent Trivett
Italy is looking ungovernable.
US stock index futures rose this morning despite political deadlock in Italy that prompted a sell-off in European equities and bonds.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will begin his two-day semi-annual testimony before Congress at 10:00 a.m. Today, he will face the Senate Banking Committee.
US investors also have a full economic calendar as well. At 10:00 a.m. February consumer confidence numbers come out. Economists expect to see the index rise 2.4 points to 61.0. The housing market will also be in focus. At 9:00 a.m., the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index is expected to show a 0.8% rise in the price of homes in January in the 20 cities that it studies, after rising 0.6% in December 2012. The Federal Housing Finance Agency is also expected to simultaneously report a 0.7% increase in home prices. New home sales are expected to have sold at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 381,000 in January, after hitting a rate of 369,000 in the month before.
Before the opening bell,
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures are up 0.23% at 13,820. Futures on the
(INDEXSP:.INX) rose 0.25% to 1,491.20 and
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures climbed 0.18% to 2,707.25.
The election results in Italy could result in its economic and fiscal reforms rolling back. The center-left group led by Pier Luigi Bersani narrowly won the lower house of Parliament, but the Senate produced no winners. Reformer Mario Monti's party came in fourth place and the two parties did not garner enough seats to form a coalition, as expected. Comedian Beppe Grillo surprisingly won a plurality of votes. Silvio Berlusconi ruled out forming a coalition with Monti, but might join forces with Bersani.
The euro fell to $1.3097 on the dollar today on the Italian political deadlock. Italian 10-year bond yields jumped to 4.86% from 4.37% before the election, the biggest jump this year. At a bond auction today, Italy sold 8.75 billion euros of short-term debt at an average interest rate of 1.237%, up from 0.73% at a sale last month. Spanish yields also rose 30 basis points to 5.4%. Italy's
(INDEXFTSE:FTSEMIB) stock index slipped 4.18%, with financial shares falling as much as 10%. Trading on some Italian banks was halted almost immediately at the market open. French, German, Spanish, and UK stock indices all declined.
In corporate news,
Home Depot
(NYSE:HD), the biggest US home improvement retail chain, posted earnings of $0.68 per share, beating estimates by $0.04. The company also said that it will earn $0.07 per share more than expected in the current quarter and announced that it will buy back $17 billion in shares and increase its quarterly dividend by 34%. As with rival
(NYSE:LOW), which reported yesterday, Hurricane Sandy and an improving housing market contributed to Home Depot's sales and profits.
(NYSE:HPQ) unveiled a seven-inch tablet computer running
(NASDAQ:GOOG) Android operating system. At $169, the tablet undersells
(NASDAQ:AMZN) Kindle Fire as well as Google's own similar offering.

Matthew Bryan-Amaning and Darnell Gant each had 10 rebounds. Washington jumped out to a 43-18 halftime lead and never looked back.

He played in 233 games, starting 224, during seven years as a player for AIA. Romar served as player-coach in 1989 and directed the team to 21 wins in 1991-92, including a victory over NCAA Final Four participant Florida. That year he averaged 24.4 points, 5.9 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting 54.5 percent from the field, including 49.5 percent from beyond the 3-point arc and 83.7 percent from the free throw line. In 1992, the 34-year-old Romar scored 45 points against Michigan's "Fab Five" freshmen, who went on to reach the NCAA championship game. Romar set single game records while an AIA player for most points (54) and assists (21). He remains the team's all-time assist leader (1,689) and No. 2 in all-time scoring (4,244).

In order to access AdWords via API, you'll (or your codes) need to be authenticate via through OAuth 2.0. This guide is focusing on getting the OAuth Access token so that you can call the API from your codes.
To do this, we'll first need to create a credential to access the API. API credentials are manage with Google Developer Console.
- Create New Client ID using Google Developers Console. (See the steps here https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/authentication - Create a client identifier and client secret)
- During the step #7 choose Web application and enter
- "https://developers.google.com" in AUTHORIZED JAVASCRIPT ORIGINS
- "https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground" in AUTHORIZED REDIRECT URIS
- Save and you will see the Client ID being created as below
- Head over to https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground, click on the gear icon on the top right corner and you'll see the following dialog.
- Check "Use your own OAuth credentials", and enter according the the screen shot below. The Adwords API is not in the selection, so you need to manually input "https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords" in the Select & authorize APIs input field.
See the highlighted boxes in the screenshot. You'll also need the Cliend ID information that you previously generate.
- Click the "Authorize APIs" button and login with your AdWords Account when prompted (only if you're not already logged in)
- You will then be redirected back to the OAuth 2.0 Playground's Step 2. At this point, an Authorization code has been generated for the Client ID.
- Click on "Exchange authorization code for tokens" button, and the Access token will be generated for you. There will be a counter telling you when the Access token is going to be expired and you'll need to click the "Refresh access token" to renew it.
- That's it, that is how you get the OAuth 2.0 Access token for Google AdWords API.

Earlier this year, the UCLA-USC Center for Population Health and Health Disparities began a program called Proyecto MercadoFRESCO in which a few corner liquor stores in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights each received a green makeover. $25,000 was given to them to restock their shelves with healthy foods instead of the chips, beer and soda that is the usual for customers of liquor stores. The effectiveness of this campaign has been the subject of controversy, with many different opinions: Is this an effective strategy against bad cardiovascular health for the residents of Eastern Los Angeles? Where does culture begin, and economics end? And vice versa?
Winners of the smackdown Destinee Arriero and Estephanie Alvarado set up outside Yash Liquor Store.
The store quadrupled their normal produce sales for a day during the three hour-long smack down.
Under the direction of the school's principal Ben Gertner, Alex Ortega (Director of the UCLA Center for Population Health & Health Disparities), Reanne Estrada (Creative Director for Public Matters) and Mike Blockstein (Principal of Public Matters), a Market Makeover Smackdown was to be 100% planned, organized and executed by the juniors and seniors of Roosevelt High School's School of Communications, New Media and Technology.
The organization and school is planning another smackdown with two other liquor stores in Boyle Heights sometime early next year, follow the school on twitter @RooseveltCNMT and website for details.

A revised budget proposal submitted by Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper on Wednesday indicates that his office believes revenues from marijuana sales will hit nearly $1 billion dollars by July of 2015, the Denver Post reports.
According to a proposal submitted by the Governor's budget office on Feb. 18, Hickenlooper expects state revenue from taxes on marijuana sales -- both recreational and medicinal -- to reach almost $51 million dollars by the end of the 2013-14 fiscal year in July, and cross $130 million by the end of fiscal 2014-15. Extrapolating those numbers based on the tax rate of recreational and medical marijuana sales, the Denver Post estimates recreational sales revenues to surpass $600 million dollars by the end of FY 2014-15, in addition to nearly $350 million in medical marijuana sales.
From the pot to the money, that's a lot of green.
Nevertheless, the proposal was careful to point out that these figures can fluctuate as Colorado begins the process of collecting the first taxes in the world on legal recreational marijuana.
"It is important to note that these amounts are estimates based on a number of assumptions of the new industry, including consumption patterns, market price, the number of retail stores entering the market, and other economic and control variables," the report says. "We anticipate that these projections will change monthly as more data is collected and actual revenue could fall short of these projections."
The Post says that these are the first estimates the state has released since recreational pot sales began in Colorado on Jan. 1, and that they are "significantly higher than previous projections."
Last year, Colorado collected $9 million dollars in taxes from medical marijuana sales and the budget office expects that figure to raise to $10 million this year. However, the real tax boon comes from recreational sales, which the governor's office expects will bring in $35 million to the state's coffers by the end of this fiscal year, and a whopping $117 million next year.
So where will all that tax money go? Colorado voters approved an additional sales tax on recreational marijuana in November, the first $40 million of which must go toward school construction. After that, Hickenlooper's budget office recommends the tax money be allocated towards "resources to protect public safety and health and to prevent underage use." According to the budget proposal, these include:
• Youth marijuana use prevention ($45.5 million);
• Substance abuse treatment ($40.4 million);
• Public health ($12.4 million);
• Regulatory oversight ($1.8 million);
• Law enforcement and public safety ($3.2 million); and
• Statewide coordination ($0.2 million).
As evidenced by those figures, the Governor's office wants to place an emphasis on underage use, exposure, and prevention.
"We view our top priority as creating an environment where negative impacts on children from marijuana legalization are avoided completely," the budget proposal said.
If the financial figures in the budget proposal prove true, there's little doubt that Hickenlooper will have the necessary funds to help make that happen.

Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
Dt 6:2-6; Heb 7:23-28; Mk 12:28-34
The Great Commandment
Every morning when I wake up, I make a list of things I need to do that day. The list begins with the most urgent item that I need to accomplish. When you have a lot on your plate, you have to learn to prioritize by doing what is most important. Today's readings from Scripture invite us to rededicate ourselves to a total commitment to love God and neighbors as a top priority in our life.
In today's Gospel reading, a scribe wanted to know the most important commandment of the Law. Since there were as many as 613 commandments found in the Torah, he asked Jesus, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus cited the familiar prayer of Sh'ma Yisrael or "Hear O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone!" All faithful Jews understood the importance of this prayer found in Deuteronomy 6:4, which is read in today's first reading, and would agree to the value and necessity of wholehearted and unreserved love of the one God. Every pious Jew recited this prayer in the morning and evening. Devout Jews even wore this prayer in the phylacteries or prayer boxes affixed to their wrists and foreheads to constantly remind them of the great law. The Sh'ma was contained in the mezuzah mounted on the doorframe of every good Jewish home. Jesus, however, went further than the ordinary expectation by citing an obscure passage in Leviticus 19:18, namely, to love the neighbor as oneself. Interestingly, Jesus took two laws and made them equal and interdependent by merging them into one great commandment. Consequently, Jesus invited the scribe, who was a professional interpreter of the law, to move beyond the legal aspects of the law and to open his heart to understand that the love of one's neighbor was as important as worshiping God.
Jesus' Great Commandment, to love God with one's whole being and to love the neighbor as oneself, is found in all three Synoptic Gospels. However, each of the Gospels records this teaching in a different context and addresses a different audience. In Matthew, as in Mark, Jesus is teaching in the temple in Jerusalem, but in Matthew, a Pharisee asked Jesus, for he was out to test Jesus (Matt 22:34-40). In Luke, while Jesus was teaching in Galilee, a lawyer confronted Jesus and demanded to know the greatest commandment. Here, Jesus did not give the answer but asked the man to say what he believed. The man answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself" (Luke 10:27). Jesus complimented the man's good response. Noticeably, in the Gospel of John, Jesus gave only one commandment: "Love one another as I love you" (John 15:12).
The Scripture readings this Sunday conveniently summarize the basic tenet of the Law. To love God with one's whole being and to love the neighbor as oneself is more important than any sacrificial offering. Fulfilling this Great Commandment is what makes a person truly holy. The saints, whose lives we celebrate this week, were completely committed to loving and serving God as well as their neighbors. If we follow their examples, we too will not be "far from the kingdom of God."

MULTIMODAL At its last meeting of the 2013/14 biennium, the UN's TDG Sub-committee swept up a lot of outstanding issues. The new chairman will, though, still have plenty on his plate for the coming years
CONFERENCE REPORT San Antonio's new Grand Hyatt offered a home-from-home for DGAC delegates at last year's annual conference. With all the recent shenanigans at DOT, there was plenty of opportunity to have a collective grumble and bandy around some arguments
Objections asideMULTIMODAL The most significant achievement of the UN experts at their December session was reaching agreement on the difficult topic of limited quantity markings.
CONFERENCE REPORT The rush to put in place security regulations after 9/11 raised concerns that there could be a conflict with existing safety provisions. As last year's DGAC conference heard, however, their implementation is bringing opportunities for business improvement, as well as for service suppliers
CONFERENCE REPORT The thin air of New Mexico energised delegates and speakers at last year's DGAC conference, which was just as well as following the programme required an alert mind.
The 'enterprise approach' being taken by DOT and PHMSA means that contact with the regulated industry is vital to support rulemaking decisions and generate the data that underpin them. DGAC's 29th annual conference offered an ideal opportunity for regulators and industry to get together and, broadly speaking, industry seemed to like what it heard
Some regulators like to put it about that there are no more major changes in the pipeline. That's not what it feels like for industry and last year's DGAC annual conference gave delegates plenty to think about
One of the lengthiest and most contentious meetings of the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel ended last November in agreement on some far-reaching provisions. Those who ship dangerous goods by air should be aware that there are some significant changes coming, some as soon as next year

Are you hooked on connecting with old and new friends online? Are you using Facebook, LinkedIn and other sites as both social and job hunting tools?
Career coaches and recruiters tell you that you must be using these sites to network and promote your career. But what about all the personal networking you do online? How might that affect your job search.
Companies are looking at your personal life online and finding reasons to reject your application. A recent survey by Careerbuilder showed 45 percent of companies reported that they use social networks to screen candidates.
As FastCompany points out in the article "If You're Applying for a Job, Censor Your Facebook Page," Facebook probably receives too much attention from recruiters considering most of your Facebook information, images, status updates and things you say are of a more personal nature.
[W]hile you may be well up on the usual habits, norms and joys of social networking, your prospective employer really really isn't. And of those employers who did surf the social 'Nets, 35% reported rejecting a candidate thanks to data they found there.
Look at these stats as to the reasons why, and how many of the employers acted on such data:
- Provocative or inappropriate photos or info–53%
- Drinking or drug use–44%
- Bad-mouthing previous employee, colleague or client–35%
- Poor communication skills–29%
- Discriminatory comments–26%
- Lied about qualifications–24%
- Leaked confidential info from previous job–20%
The drug use, leaking info and lying…okay, I can understand. But if you step back and think about the others, they're absolutely shocking. If you're using a social network, it's to share aspects of your private life.
Is that really the best use of Facebook by hiring managers?It doesn't matter. The fact that you aren't using the privacy settings of Facebook to your advantage means you are allowing prospective employers to see things unintended for them.
Not sure how to change your privacy settings on Facebook? At the top of the page look next to your name on the right and you'll see the "settings" link. Go there and review all the options you have to share or hide your profile information and images. Facebook gives you a lot of choices with privacy, so use it to your advantage.
In the article, "Social Netiquette: Mind Your Manners" social networking experts talked to TheLadders' Kevin Fogarty and had this to say about online behavior:
As any number of college students and one Miss America contestant can tell you, it's bad form to record your indiscretions and post the evidence on a public Web site. Embarrassing photos or remarks can surface during your job search. Recruiters and hiring managers routinely search social-networking sites for background information, and many will hold photos of youthful hijinks against them.
Protecting the company image, the image of its employees and the amount of time you might be wasting on the site versus doing actual work is in the best interest of a company. While these networks provide an amazing way to distribute, the openness of theses sites is allowing companies to find reasons why you aren't the ideal employee.

Black and white photography looks past the exhuberance of color into the true form and spirit of the subject. It is music without words.
I am a complete leaf fanatic. Growing up in Tennessee and Missouri, there were plenty of opportunities to wander in the woods and play in the leaves. It wasn't until I moved to Texas that the obsession with foliage really kicked in.....longing for that which was now in slim supply, autumnally speaking. I came to photography in my thirties and felt like it was the missing piece found at last. I was amazed to discover that my father had a darkroom as a young man, and my maternal grandfather was a photographer in World War I. It was in the genes. What a glorious thing to have woven into your fabric!

A couple of weeks ago I was going through a presentation for a couple dozen people, and I mentioned I'm Jewish. I was surprised when the reaction included more than a few gasps. I wondered what they were thinking. This was in a city on the main freeway between San Francisco and Sacramento, so it's not like we were in some place where Jews are unheard of.
Did it mean they had never knowingly met a Jewish person before? Were they surprised because I didn't fit some stereotype they have of what Jewish people look, dress, or act like? Were they surprised that I would say such a thing out loud?
Needless to say, it wasn't an appropriate venue in which to voice those questions out loud, nor to seek answers to them. I certainly didn't (and still don't) have a close enough relationship with them to expect entirely frank answers, in any case.
It did remind me, however, of the interesting place held by minorities whose differences are not apparent at first glance. Unlike some other types of minorities, we can – and often do – make decisions about when, and when not, to "out" ourselves. It's one of the things we Jews have in common with those in the LGBTQ community.
I remember many years ago I conversation I had with a gay colleague, who was telling me how great it felt to be at the San Francisco Pride Parade. "On one hand, I think I shouldn't feel that way," he said, "I feel very assimilated, and people where we work don't care one way or the other that I'm gay. But for some reason, it felt liberating to be surrounded by other gay people."
I assured him there was nothing wrong with feeling that way. "At the Pride Parade," I offered, "you know nobody's going to ask you something like, 'Why aren't you married yet?' that shows they assume everyone is straight. I feel the same way in December, when I'm at the synagogue. Even though I'm very assimilated, it's nice sometimes to be someplace where I know nobody is going to wish me a 'Merry Christmas.'"
Although I generally have no problem telling people I'm Jewish, sometimes it's hard to decide whether or not to bring it up. A number of years ago I had lunch with a client in Monterey during the week of Passover. Of course, he suggested a seafood restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf.
It just so happens that I'm allergic to fish. It's God's little joke that I'm only allergic to "regular" fish, not to shellfish. So, in a nutshell, if it's kosher fish I'm allergic, and if it's treif I'm not. So there I was, in a seafood restaurant, not eating "regular" fish because I'm allergic, not eating shellfish because it isn't kosher, and saying, "No, thank you" to the bread because it's Passover. Do I explain to the guy why I'm eating chicken, and little else, in a seafood restaurant, or do I just let it pass unless he asks?
A similar situation happened while I was at dinner as part of the interview process for the job I now hold. I was eating pasta with red sauce, and the vice president's wife was next to me eating pasta with green sauce. "Look," she said, "together we make Christmas!" I thought about mentioning I'm Jewish, but wondered, briefly, if it would hurt my chances of being hired. Then I thought, "If they're the kind of company that doesn't want Jews around, I'd rather find out sooner rather than later," so I spilled the beans.
Her response was, "Oh, you're in a mixed marriage, too!" To this day I don't know whether she was referring to the fact that she's Catholic and her husband isn't, or whether she was commenting on the fact that she's black and he's white. Either way, I knew I was going to be okay.
Although I've had such positive experiences with "coming out" as Jewish, those gasps I heard in the training class give me pause. What do they mean? What were they thinking? Will there be a time when declaring my Judaism will result in something worse?

The hugely experienced group of senior executives joined the association at itsAGMand at an important time as it helps fight the industry's corner on a number of key issues, including rising insurance costs, Government red tape and the recent tax attack launched on business cars.

Miami Marlins video: Jose Reyes homers off Ricky Nolasco during intrasquad game
First off, apologies for these video clips being a bit bouncy. I shot them through the screen behind home plate and was trying to keep the netting out of the frame. It was super windy, plus I was freezing because my clothes were damp from getting caught in a downpour earlier in the morning. I ran out of gas. I… I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT!
I'm all about the excuses. Two points to whoever identifies the above movie quote.
Even as teammates, Reyes continues to torment Nolasco. He drove the second pitch of Nolasco's intrasquad game outing Sunday over the right-field wall for a leadoff homer at Roger Dean Stadium. As a member of the Mets, Reyes was 16-for-47 (.340) with a double, triple, three homers and a .963 OPS off Nolasco.
"I wanted to make him feel good about himself," Nolasco joked. "A sinker just cut over the plate. Get [the homers] out of the way now. Honestly, yeah, I kind of laugh at that. Of course, first hitter I see. That's good, good for the confidence. That's fine. No big deal. Just going out there and trying not to pretty much hit anybody while you're working on your stuff."
At the end of the clip you'll get a good view the special handshake Reyes and Hanley Ramirez devised.
Nolasco and Carlos Zambrano each pitched a five-out, first inning for their respective sides. Zambrano gave up a leadoff single to Aaron Rowand and eliminated him with a Donnie Murphy double play grounder. Outfielder Kyle Jensen's RBI-groundout off Rob Rasmussen proved the deciding run during the three-inning contest. The clip below is Zambrano pitching to Scott Cousins.

The Valley Street Campus of Gadsden State Community College was recently awarded a grant from Home Depot designed to provide colleges a chance to upgrade their campuses. Earlier this year, Home Depot offered Historically
Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) an opportunity to apply for a Retool Your School Grant with the goal of issuing grants for projects that have a lasting impact.
Winners were chosen by a combination of public, online voting and review by a distinguished panel of judges. An important component of the grant process was popular voting from community members as applicants finishing in the top ten HBCUs chosen by popular votes were eligible for grant funding in one of three tiers or options. Gadsden State was the recipient of a $10,000 Tier 2 grant. Grant funds will be used to create student friendly outdoor study spaces with the addition of new landscaping and outdoor furniture.
November 1 is scheduled for the Home Depot Project Day. Volunteers from Home Depot, Gadsden State, and the community will begin at 8:00 a.m. and continue until the project is finished. November 15 will be an alternate date if inclement weather presents a challenge. There will be an opening ceremony to kick off the day's event and additional community volunteers are needed. Gadsden Job Corps Center and Quality of Life Health Services are also providing volunteer assistance. Dr. Valerie Richardson, Gadsden State vice president, commented that, "Daniel Landrum, Oxford Home Depot store manager; Carl Kraiza, Home Depot pro sales associate; and Gadsden State's grant team have been instrumental in helping us to develop this project."
President Raymond W. Staats said, "We would like to thank everyone in our community for taking time to vote. Without your support we would not have been considered for this grant. Our students are excited about the opportunity to beautify the campus and grateful for the community involvement."
For more information or to volunteer contact Misti Morgan, at 256-549-8270 or email@example.com.

Approximately 30 residents and campers at the AltaLakeState Park were given a level 1 evacuation notice (which is an alert that residents should be aware of the danger that exists, and monitor local media outlets for information). The level 1 evacuation notice remains at this time.
The fire was called in shortly before noon on Sunday and began to spread and was declared a State Mob fire by 4:45 Sunday evening.
The fire is estimated to be at 4,000 acres, burning in heavy sage and timber, in steep terrain.
Local fire districts from Chelan and Okanogan Counties, the Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service, Washington State department of Natural Resources, Okanogan Emergency Management, Washington state Patrol Fire Mobilization and Washington State Department of Transportation make up the crew of 210 personnel.
No injuries have been reported at this time- and a 13-mile stretch of Highway 97 was closed overnight, but has been since re-opened.
KOZI is in contact with fire officials and will keep you updated with any confirmed updates.

5 Tips on prenuptial agreement
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 7:00:00 AM in Kirk Kara (26)
Prenuptial agreements are a great way to set the record straight to avoid future friction between you and your partner. Even before you give her a most lovely Kirk Kara wedding ring, here are a few tips to keep in mind how to tread prenuptial talks. First, talk about it long before the planned wedding. The more time you have, the more chances you can iron out difference, if any. Second, don't get emotional. State facts objectively (this harder for women); and should either of you fall into the emotional trap, step back and set another day to cool things off. Third, use the tax season as a pretext to discuss the prenuptial deal. People are more in tune to discuss finances during this time. Fourth, establish goals, not future faults. The aim is to protect both of you from untoward events. Fifth, do some research about your state's marriage laws.
Kirk Kara is available at Shreve & Co. in Palo Alto, California.

This is a Genesis-based alphabet book written and photographed for my children and grandchildren. My hope is to encourage faith in the true God, Who made heaven and earth. He kindly has left clues about His power and loving character all over the earth and sky... AND, He had a great Book written (and preserved!) that fills us in on much more about Him and the good news of the great salvation He's provided through Jesus, God the Son! May we not be quick to discard information/wisdom from that good Book, the Bible. Preferring secular theories of beginnings has been in style for a long time, but truth is deeper than style. Reality fits well with biblical stories and doctrines.
I am a Christian. I am a wife, mom and grammy; a homemaker, Bible student, writer, photographer, teacher, birth doula, reupholsterer, and hair cutter. I've been married to Roger for over thirty years, have six children, and nine grandchildren so far!
