We are always struggling to stay online as a free alternative source. Folks in the Pacific NW know who to call to give or get information. We have been in pro news photography for coming on 50 years now...the last few were done out of generosity. This Christmas Season please consider us as a service...Help us continue. We are NOT a non profit group. I pay for it out of my pocket. Anything you can do out of your good Christian kindness? Kick or push better the Paypal button below. Thanks and may God bring you just what you want.

— North Cascades Highway is closed for the winter.
State Department of Transportation spokesman Jeff Adamson said Tuesday morning that crews evaluating the condition of the highway through Washington Pass were stopped by a snow slide 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep. More snow was cascading on two nearby chutes.
The avalanche crew and folks from our Twisp shed were only able to get up as far as Liberty Bell Mountain and had to turn around and come back,” he said. “It’s not safe for anyone to try to go up there and clean up.”
About three feet of snow piled up in Washington Pass between Sunday and Monday morning, prompting Transportation to temporarily close the highway at 3 p.m. Sunday. The state elected to keep it closed overnight Sunday and Monday.“I’m sure everybody was happy that it was open all the way through Thanksgiving,” Adamson said. “Typically, if it’s open past Thanksgiving, I’ll get telephone calls from people who own businesses up there who say, ‘Thanks for keeping it open.’”Last year, the highway - also known as state Highway 20 - closed Nov. 20. The state typically reopens it in May after spending weeks clearing snow, but earlier this year it reopened April 16.

A 36-storey skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan is being seized by the US government in what the the Justice Department is calling “the largest ever terrorism-related forfeiture”.
Prosecutors say the Alavi Foundation and Assa Corporation, the joint owners of the Piaget Building on Fifth Avenue, are guilty of money-laundering and breaking Iran sanctions.
Manhattan Federal prosecutor Preet Bhasara claims the building’s owners have been diverting rental income and other funds from the building to Bank Melli, Iran’s biggest state-owned bank.
