Justin McBride, who graduated in 2009 with a double major in biology and biochemistry, started dasjj.com in April. Dasjj.com is a website that specializes in selling notebooks and pens made from recycled materials.

The blaze that authorities initially said would end in a couple of hours instead spewed flames and smoke from a derailed tanker car for a second day Thursday with no end in sight, as crews scrambled to prevent it from igniting railcars loaded with toxic chemicals nearby.

Hundreds of people have had to evacuate, including the entire town of West Point and some people from the outskirts of Louisville.

Eight international graduate and undergraduate students are waiting on approval to form an organization that will help equip international and domestic Baylor students to interact in unfamiliar cultures as they study and work abroad.

Baylor graduate Dr. Nirund Jivasantikarn and his son Ekapon Jivasantikarn are traveling to various universities to recruit graduating seniors to teach English in Thailand for 10 months from June to March with a two-week break in October.

The Jivasantikarns will host an information session on the teaching program at 4 p.m. Monday in 203 Cashion Academic Center in the Hankamer School of Business.
