State officials have found a minor hiccup in the wording of the new interlocal agreement between the city and county. But after a vote last week, the issue has been resolved.
At last Tuesday's regular Fiscal Court meeting, County Attorney John Bertram told magistrates that the Department of Local Government found a common mistake in that a termination clause was left out of the agreement.
Campbellsville water customers will soon notice improved water quality and pressure.
During its regular meeting Tuesday, Campbellsville City Council members approved a resolution that would begin a $1.8 million water line improvement project.
David Bowles of Monarch Engineering told Council members that the city was among 25 out of 203 applicants approved by the state for water projects.
The approval offers the city a $656,000 grant and a 20-year $1.2 million loan at 1 percent interest.
The county isn't in the mowing business, and it's not about to start.
Mowing of nuisance property was a topic of much debate at Tuesday's regular Taylor Fiscal Court meeting, just as it has at earlier meetings this year. But once again, magistrates ultimately took no action.
Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers told magistrates that he has a list of 14 properties outside the city limits that have been declared nuisances. Rogers said he gets calls nearly every day reporting nuisances.
The city's crystal ball seems to be in perfect working order. Despite a 24.5 percent increase in health insurance rates last year, Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young and City Clerk Cary Noe budgeted for a 10 percent increase this year thanks to some predictions from health care insiders.
As it happens, 10 percent was a little on the high side. During a special meeting Monday, Campbellsville City Council members approved new health insurance rates for city employees.
Plans to build a new water tower are temporarily on hold.
During Campbellsville City Council's regular meeting Monday, Mayor Tony Young told Council members that the city will not receive the $1 million state Community Development Block Grant it had applied for. And the reason why left Young and a few council members upset.
"[Department for Local Government Commissioner Tony Wilder] told me we're not going to get it. He said our water rates were too low," Young said.
Congressman Hal Rogers, R-Somerset, and PRIDE recently announced that Taylor County and Campbellsville met the "Get Five for PRIDE" challenge during PRIDE Spring Cleanup Month, the anti-litter campaign in southern and eastern Kentucky in April.
"Last year, I couldn't believe more than 30,000 people would volunteer to pick up trash across the region, but PRIDE volunteers had another record-breaking year for 2011," Rogers stated. "The old tires and used appliances tossed over the hillsides are finally becoming a thing of the past.
Mile markers will soon be installed along Green River to help rescuers find people in emergency situations.
Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers told magistrates at last Tuesday's regular meeting that he has been given approval from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff to install the markers.
He said there have been drownings at Green River on the past two July Fourth holidays, and mile markers could have helped rescue workers during the searches for the two people.
Just as at a Campbellsville City Council meeting the night before, a discussion about the Economic Development Authority took center stage at Tuesday night's regular Taylor Fiscal Court meeting.
Mark Johnson, chairman of the Campbellsville/Taylor County Economic Development Authority Board, said he wants to talk to magistrates about whether the EDA is doing what is expected. And, if not, he said, the EDA's purpose needs to be clarified.
"I'm hearing that we're not doing what you want," he said.
A possible miscommunication led to a lengthy discussion regarding the future of the Economic Development Authority during Monday night's special Campbellsville City Council meeting.
Mark Johnson, chairman of the Campbellsville/Taylor County Economic Development Authority Board, told Council members that he needs clarification on recent actions taken by the City Council and Taylor Fiscal Court regarding EDA funding.
Taylor County's magisterial districts will change next year. And, on Friday, magistrates took the first step toward making the change official.
The Taylor County Reapportionment Commission presented its report to the Taylor Fiscal Court during a special meeting Friday morning.

I wish I could say I was excited to be here. I was yesterday, but then I noticed that people have avoided the post for my programming project, which is honestly the whole reason I registered, like the plague. I figure this might be a good time to ask why, and what I can do to fix it aside of going open sores, or being a member of the community for a year.
So yeah, I'm kinda down, and whining a bit, but I think I have good reason for it. It's not all Neowin though, I've shown this to 3 groups, and a good bit of friends too, but they all say they're too busy, it's a virus (It's not :\ ), or just don't reply. I held Neowin at high reguard when I joined, but now I'm worried it'll just be the same thing.
So here's the topic I'm sad about, if anyone wants to see: http://www.neowin.ne...impledock-v001/

Sophomore Planning & Moderation
The curriculum of the first two years at Bard College at Simon's Rock is designed to allow students to complete the requirements of the College's associate of arts degree by the conclusion of their second year. By that point, they should have acquired the writing and thinking skills and basic general education in the liberal arts and sciences required to make informed decisions about the two remaining years of undergraduate study.
At this point, students may choose to complete their bachelor of arts degree at Simon's Rock or transfer to another college or university. Sophomore Planning and Moderation are the formal processes that the College has designed to assist students in making this decision.
All sophomores complete the Sophomore Planning process. This involves meeting with their academic advisors early in the sophomore year to assess their progress toward completing the AA degree and discussing Moderation and transfer options individually with the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students planning or considering completion of their BA at Simon's Rock move from the Lower College to the Upper College through a process called Moderation. Through Moderation, the student selects concentration(s) and related courses, reviews work to date, discusses interests and goals, explores Leave to Study Away options—including the College's Signature Programs—and plans a program of study. Students initiate the Moderation process by speaking to their current academic advisor and selecting faculty members in their area(s) of interest. Together with the advisor, a student chooses a Moderation Committee of faculty members familiar with the student's work. Prior to the conference,the student prepares a written Moderation Statement that explores these matters and distributes it to all members of the committee. The committee will require the students to submit a sample of their written work. At the conclusion of the meeting the students decide whether to retain their original academic advisor or to switch to a faculty member on their committee.
For the student, Moderation is an opportunity to explore options and seek advice; for the committee, it is an opportunity to assess the student's readiness to undertake the advanced course work of the Upper College, including a Senior Thesis. Acceptance into the Upper College is not automatic and is confirmed by a formal letter from the advisor to the student summarizing the course of study that the student and the committee have outlined for the coming two years. Normally, Moderation occurs in the first semester of the sophomore year; in all cases a student is required to moderate before registering for classes as a junior. In general this process should be completed by March 1 of the sophomore year, since Moderation is required for students to apply for one of the numerous BA merit scholarships. Students moderating by April 15 have priority for admission into the Upper College. Students must have moderated into the Upper College in order to apply for returning student scholarships, register for courses for their junior year, or to receive a Leave to Study Away.
Students planning on transferring to complete their BA studies at another college or university should meet with the Director of Career Services to discuss transfer procedures; they should also meet with the Associate Dean and their academic advisor to discuss possible transfer schools. Transfer applications may be due as early as December 1 (for fall entrance) and as late as April or May. Students who are considering transfer are encouraged to begin to explore this option in the summer between their first and second year at the College.

That doesn't work in an MMORPG. Just look at the graveyard of PVE focused MMOs that were popular for a month, then died off due to lack of content or no 'endgame'.
Players want something that is interesting to do with their friends and characters once they are max level, and the only game that has managed to keep them interested with PVE is WoW because it has the sub numbers to pay for it.
As you stated world pvp is one of the few ways to create interesting content without astronomical costs. Zenimax thinks that using some of the ideas from DAOC will make the 'endless king of the hill' interesting for players.
The sense I get from a lot of posters here is that all they want is another 30 days and done game that is somehow going to continually produce infinite pve content with 1% of WoW's budget. Investors and devs aren't spending years and hundreds of millions to create an MMO that people will only pay a box price for and then leave. RvR is the most effective solution which is why every game tries to do it.

Its honestly for two reason, one you'll never have a major sucesful AAA mmorpg without pvp post daoc/wow, will not occur. you may get 200k subs top and trickle from there. The reason is simple no one want to do the same thing over and over, pvp is an entire differnt playign field and style. Its refreshing to pvp after pve ing for a long time... and vis versa. Well done pvp is a miracle and keeps subs and makes subs grow.
However, i do find all the talk of teso's pvp odd and the nature of it also (the basic concepts for it seem right on with what you would want however.)

They should ditch the RVR and go with what a true ES mmorpg should be like- total free for all pvp with consequences. Just because the humanoids in your virtual environment are now pc's and not npc's shouldn't change a thing. Of course that would totally turn off a lot of potential customers so I understand that the design team has to make compromises and balance. B)

First off, this is my first post - ever - on mmorpg.com! So hey :p
Ive been following ESO for some time and played all the old (and new :p) Elder Scrolls games - I was surpised when I saw that RvR was gonna play such a huge role in the game. It hard to tell at this point if RvR will be the only or even the major part of the end-game - but for arguments sack lets say it is:
I understand why they would do this and to some extend I think its a smart move: PvE content (in a Themepark-type game) is hard to keep up to date and player go through it faster then anyone can make new (quality) content - even the behemoth World of Warcraft will see alot less activety in the last months before a major patch or expansion - and any new developer will have a very hard time making new PvE content fast enough to keep the majority of players engaged.
I have no doubt that there will be lots of good PvE content in ESO and an amazing story (if they follow the recipe from the old single player games), but after we've played through it - they need something for us to do while they make new content.
RvR and PvP in general is alot easier to keep "interesting" (if you are into PvP that is) as the "encounters" are more varied - because its basicly "made" by other players. Several games have tried to incorporate this into PvE through player made content (CoH, STO and others) with more or less luck - but PvP is the easist way to do it.
With this in mind RvR makes sense: All the Elder Scroll games revolve around conflicts - and with ESO the titel and the conflicts go Massive Multiplayer Online. I do hope that the main focus of the game will be PvE and the story with Molag Bal as the main antagonist will lead to epic raids and fights- but if the RvR part is done right - im sure ill spent just as much time doing that while waiting for the next patch.
TL:DR: Themepark MMOs based on PvE will run out of content - hence RvR can fill the gaps while we wait for more PvE.

I get your point but to design the game around a gap filler...and for it to have such a big impact on the PvE side of things...just smacks of lazyiness and lack of imagination. As others have mentioned, myself included, it just looks like Matt Frior wanted to do a DAOC2 game, got the ES IP and ran with it with no attention to what an ES MMO could be great at.
Faction locked races are a design limitation and if you actually sit down and really look at how you could have good PvP without doing it the options open up vastly. Keep all the good stuff about ES, keep all the good stuff about 3 faction RvR and just get rid of all the crap stuff that has lots of fans up in arms. It all stems from someone stubbonly sticking to how it was done in DAOC without updating it for now and TESO.

I wouldn't say gap filler, more like another option for people to do. An mmo is a gathering for people with different tastes. As far as pve goes gw2 is doing factal dungeons. Neverwinter is going to have player made content. There are things to do besides just rvr.
It concerns me ESO is so focused on rvr to the point the game is being built around it.

The game sounds pretty fun but I wish they would have bought the DaoC license from EA and made the game into DaoC2 instead, now they will make the fans of the original game dissapointed. Or they could have made a new IP for that matter, or licensed some IP better fit for this type of game.
Firor is not bad but he is the wrong person to turn ES into a MMO. ES have been about exploration since Daggerfall and the DaoC model is just too limited for that.

And to think this is going on what little stuff we know, there are tons of new information that is yet to come.

Unless a game is designed from the ground up for pvp with pve resource competition the pvp will always be a side-sport gap filler.

I still think they should have turned this game into DaoC2 instead though.

I agree, not as much a gap filler as another thing to do - saying its a gap filler implies that its "not fun" or just something to pass time with (which it could be argued any video game is), but if done right RvR can be fun, and even if I prefer quality PvE, id rather have quality RvR then bad PvE - and if that means I have to do more quality RvR while I wait for the quality PvE Ill happily do so.
Rushed PvE content is killing games I cant count the number of times ive leveled to max level and had a blast, only to find that the endgame was bad, none-exsisting or lacking - SWTOR and GW2 are the latest exampels for me. GW2 had RvR to keep me playing longer while waiting for new content - but imo it wasnt quality RvR - due to small maps, lots of bugs, latency issues and the neverending resets, free transfers and no factions.
MMOs could take a page from the Action MMOs such as diablo and the new Path of Exile - random generated loot keep things interesting longer - make instances and raids have a better chance to get good results (and higher drop rate/massive drops) - and the complexity in character development in Path of Exile helps alot (lots of viable specs). The game itself is so/so - but character development and random loot keeps people coming back.
I wouldnt say im concerned - but I hope they do it right.

You're wrong. Or you're being intentionally ignorant.
If we're talking about a game like SWTOR, then I can see PvP being labelled as a gap filler. It's barely there, and done so poorly that you really can't consider it a major focus of the game. However PvP is a major feature of all of the games I listed above. Major features =\= gap fillers.
Popularity of games that utilize PvP more than others is also meaningless in this debate. Popularity can definitely be used to measure success based on that feature, but does nothing to define the feature itself and it's relevance to the game.
So, there's no need to be dismissive of it just because it's not something that you enjoy. For you, perhaps PvP truly is just a 'gap filler', regardless of the game. I can say that I feel the same way about dungeons and raiding. However I know better than to brazenly label them something that they're not.

The only success SWTOR achieved was to sell millions of boxes... and then drive every hardcore PvEr out of the game within a month, PvPer within 2, and semi-hardcores left after patch 1.2 .
It's a free2get-scammed cheap wannabe-wow-clone.
EDIT : to stay in topic :
Wait and see FFS poeples... old school MMOs like most of us loved 'em were those well mixing PvE and PvP. Not those focusing on ONE side.

A big part of multiplayer games is player vs player. It is content that basically keeps the game fresh. Going for a PvE focused game is a losing battle, you will never keep up with the content locusts. Well designed PvP will keep players around.

United States - Canada Border Program
The EPA Office of Emergency Management (OEM) administers programs jointly with Canada to prepare for and prevent environmental emergencies along the northern border of the United States.
International Joint Advisory Team (IJAT)
|OEM's Director serves as the EPA chair of the U.S. National Response Team, and OEM's Deputy Director serves as the U.S. Co-chair for the International Joint Advisory Team. The IJAT is a policy and advisory body with overall responsibility for the maintenance, promotion, and coordination of the United States-Canada Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan. It consists of representatives from all appropriate federal agencies in both countries that are responsible for environmental emergency prevention, preparedness, and response.
|Regional Joint Response Team (RJRT)
|The EPA Regions head their geographically corresponding U.S. Regional Response Teams, which are required to supply a representative to each Regional Joint Response Team. The RJRTs are responsible for the development, maintenance, and effective implementation of the respective Regional Annexes to the United States-Canada Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan.

Canada - United States Joint Contingency Plan
The Canada-United States Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan provides for an international coordination mechanism to ensure appropriate and effective cooperative preparedness, reporting, and response measures between Canada and the United States when an oil release or hazardous substances emergency occurs along the shared inland boundaries.
On October 28, 2009, EPA released an updated Canada-US Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan. This Plan describes how the US and Canada will work together to prepare for and respond to emergencies that cause or may cause damage to the environment or may threaten public safety, security, health, welfare or property along the inland boundary. The Plan ensures appropriate cooperative preparedness, notification, and response measures between Canada and the United States, coordinates the federal response to a significant polluting incident, and provides a mechanism for cooperative responses among all levels of government. It also facilitates assistance between the countries when the polluting incident is large but only affects one country.
This Inland Plan has been revised and updated to reflect the current laws and regulations of each country, supersedes the Canada-United States Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan signed on July 25, 1994, and complements the Canada-United States Joint Marine Pollution Contingency Plan (the "Marine Plan"), which describes a joint response mechanism for any polluting incident that threatens the waters or coastal areas of both countries. Implementation of the Inland Plan is the joint responsibility of the Canadian Department of the Environment (Environment Canada) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The revisions were the result of a partnership effort between U.S. EPA and Environment Canada, and in consultation with the Departments of State and Homeland Security.

One feature of the Canada-U.S. Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan is the development of Regional Annexes that include, among other matters, the definition of the jurisdiction, roles, and response procedures of regulatory and support agencies within specific regions of each country. The Regional Annexes and the geographic areas they cover are listed below. The Regional Annexes will be posted as they are signed.
- Annex I - CANUSWEST (1998) – includes the combined border of the Yukon Territory and British Columbia with U.S. EPA Regions 8 and 10 (Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska)
- Annex II - CANUSPLAIN (PDF, 2001) (37 pp, 196K) – includes the combined border of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba with U.S. EPA Regions 5 and 8 (Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota)
- Annex III – CANUSCENT (2013) – English (PDF) (52 pp, 3.7MB) | French (PDF) (52 pp, 3.7MB) – includes the border of Ontario with U.S. EPA Regions 2 and 5 (New York and Minnesota)
- Annex IV – CANUSQUE (2013) – English (PDF) (40 pp, 2MB) | French (PDF) (40 pp, 2.1MB) – includes the inland boundary of Quebec with U.S. EPA Regions 1 and 2 (New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and New York)
- Annex V – CANUSEAST (2013) – English (PDF) (36 pp, 2.3MB) | French (PDF) (36 pp, 1.8MB) – includes the inland boundary of New Brunswick with U.S. EPA Region 1 (Maine)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder that results from food and stomach acid backing up into the esophagus from the stomach.
This condition can cause serious health issues. Treatment for GERD includes lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery.
The valve between the esophagus and stomach opens to let food enter the stomach. With GERD, the valve doesn't close as tightly as it normally should. This causes acid reflux, a burning sensation that can be felt below the breastbone.
The following factors contribute to GERD:
- Abnormal pressure to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a valve that keeps food in the stomach
- Increased relaxation of LES
- Increased pressure within the abdomen
Risk Factors
The following may increase the chance of GERD in adolescents:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Alcohol use disorder
- History of a hernia
- Neurological impairments
Adolescent GERD may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your teen's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- 24-hour pH monitoring—a probe is placed in the esophagus to keep track of the level of acidity in the lower esophagus
- Short trial of medication—helps confirm diagnosis if GERD symptoms are relieved during the trial period
Images of internal body structures may be taken with:
- Upper GI series
- Upper endoscopy with biopsy
Treatment options vary based on the severity of the GERD. Options may include one or more of the following:
Lifestyle Changes
This may be all that is needed to relieve GERD symptoms. In some cases, these may be recommended before medication is prescribed. These changes can be tailored to an individual person based on their habits. Lifestyle changes include:
- Eating smaller, more frequent meals
- Avoid overeating
- Avoid late night meals
- Sleeping with the head of the bed elevated
- Avoid lying down within 2-3 hours after eating
- Consider looser clothing that doesn't bind the stomach area
- Lose weight
- Quit smoking
Foods and beverages to avoid may include:
- Chocolate
- Fried foods
- Peppermint
- Spicy foods
- Caffeine products
- Carbonated beverages
- Foods high in fat and acid
- Alcohol
Medication may be needed to relieve symptoms and heal any damage to the esophagus. Many medications for GERD are available over-the-counter and by prescription. Your teen's doctor may recommend the following:
- Antacids
- H-2 blockers
- Proton pump inhibitors
In more severe cases, the doctor may recommend surgery or endoscopy.
The most common surgery is called fundoplication. During this procedure, the surgeon wraps part of the stomach around the LES. This makes the LES stronger and prevents stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus.

topic is for people with chronic pain caused by problems other than cancer. If
you are looking for information on pain caused by cancer, see the topic
Cancer Pain.
Pain that lasts for 3 months
or longer is called chronic. Pain is your body's way of telling you that
something is wrong. It's normal for you to have pain when you are injured or
ill. But pain that lasts for weeks, months, or years is not normal.
Chronic pain can occur anywhere in your body. It can range from being
mild and annoying to being so bad that it gets in the way of your daily
Anyone can get chronic pain. It's more common in older
adults, but it's not a normal part of aging. Older adults are more likely to
have long-term medical problems, such as
diabetes or
arthritis, which can lead to ongoing pain.
The cause of chronic
pain is not always clear. It may occur because brain chemicals that usually
stop pain after you get better from an illness or injury are not working right.
Or damaged nerves can cause the pain. Chronic pain can also occur without a
known cause.
Common symptoms of chronic
pain include:
If you
have pain for a long time, it can make you feel very tired and may lead to
It can get in the way of your usual social
and physical activities. You may have so much pain that you can't go to work or
The emotional upset may make your pain worse. And your body's defense
system (immune system) may get weak, leading to lots of
infections and illnesses.
Your doctor can
find out if you have chronic pain by asking about your past illnesses and your
overall health. He or she will also do a physical exam.
You may
have tests to find out if a medical problem is causing the pain. Your doctor
may check for problems with your
nervous system and may order blood tests. He or she
may also ask you questions to check your mood and mental health and to see how
well you are able to think, reason, and remember.
In most cases, test results
are normal. This can make it hard to know the exact cause of the pain. But this
doesn't mean that your pain isn't real.
You can use home treatment for
mild pain or pain that you have now and then. Exercising, getting enough sleep,
and eating healthy foods may help reduce chronic pain.
over-the-counter pain medicines such as acetaminophen,
aspirin, or ibuprofen may also help. You may want to try
complementary therapies such as massage and
Talk to your doctor if your pain does not go away or if it
gets worse. You may need to try different treatments to find what works for
you. Medicines you take by mouth, shots of numbing medicine,
nerve stimulation, and surgery are used for some types
of chronic pain.
It is important to make a clear treatment plan with your
doctor. The best plan may include combining treatments.

Just what we wanted
By Happy for the holidays
from Northern Florida
This is a perfect Christmas tree for the space we wanted to cover and for the ornaments we wanted to hang. The tree perfectly fills just over half of our 8ft x 8ft glass sliding doors. The design of the boughs of the Noble Fir are perfect for hanging ornaments both in the interior of the tree and well as on the exterior of the limbs. (Glass and shining ornaments look beautiful glimpsed in the interior.)We chose the incandescent lights because we were afraid the LEDs might look too bright. The incandescents are perfect for us; and critical to us is the fact that, if one bulb goes out, the rest of the string stays lighted.

Chemistry majors explore the nature and composition of matter and the laws that govern chemical reactions and apply these principals to solve a range of problems. Whitman's hands-on policy allows extensive use of our instruments, beginning in your first year with experiments involving pH meters, analytical balances, visible spectrophotometers, and, in some cases, atomic absorption spectroscopy and gas chromatography.
Since we strongly emphasize undergraduate research at Whitman, you will have ample opportunity to apply your scientific knowledge in much the same way as professional chemists. Students in the Chemistry Department recently conducted research on the treatment of wastewater effluents, environmental impacts of dredging, hydrogen fuel cells, polymer preparations, and the biochemistry of tumor cells. Collaboration with faculty members on research may result in publication in professional journals.
The department offers a range of courses which illustrate the development and use of various scientific models and experimental methods, as well as exploring the role of chemistry in the study of other sciences. You will find that some department courses, such as Introduction to Environmental Chemistry, explore the role of chemistry in everyday life, emphasizing ways in which basic chemical principles apply to an understanding of such contemporary concerns as radioactivity, acid rain, global warming, and air and water quality. If you wish to major in any of the basic sciences, we recommend that you take General Chemistry or Advanced General Chemistry and the associated laboratories, which offer an introductory survey of all fields of chemistry (inorganic, analytical, organic, physical, and biochemistry). As you advance in your studies, your course program may include more focused courses such as Instrumental Methods of Analysis, Environmental Chemistry, Topics in Biochemistry, and Physical Chemistry.
Beginning with Quantitative Analysis and Chemical Equilibrium, you will perform extensive analysis of your laboratory data using computerized spreadsheets. In advanced courses, you will be introduced to such instrumental methods as mass spectrometry, atomic absorption, infrared, fluorescence, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, electrochemistry, gel electrophoresis, and centrifugation. Our aim is to give practical experience with modern chemical instrumentation so that you can learn not only what an instrument does, but also how it works.
Chemists are uniquely suited to address the technical aspects of many global problems of the 21st century. Whitman's recent chemistry graduates are working toward goals such as protecting the environment, feeding the world's people, providing clean energy and improving health.
By your senior year as a chemistry major, you will be able to analyze data, propose quantitative and qualitative solutions to problems, operate state-of-the-art lab instrumentation, and write and speak effectively using language appropriate to each chemical field. You will complete at least three credits of an independent project, which often takes the form of a summer research internship. We believe your senior research should expose you to cutting-edge research problems which foster creative thinking and enhance problem-solving skills.
One of our department's most important resources is the Penrose Memorial Library. Penrose is one of only a few college libraries in the nation open 24 hours a day during the academic year. Penrose houses 18,000 journals, over 200,000 government documents, and more than 400,000 catalogued volumes. In addition, the Orbis Cascade Alliance, via the Summit online catalog, will give you prompt access to more than 26 million volumes in college and university libraries in the region.
In August 2002, the Chemistry Department moved into a newly constructed, 35,000-square-foot addition to the Hall of Science. The addition features spacious teaching and research laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation, "smart" classrooms equipped with the latest computer technology, seminar rooms, wired and wireless connection to the Internet, a 20-station computer laboratory, and numerous study lounges filled with comfortable and functional furniture and large windows affording spectacular views of the campus and surrounding community. We are currently developing an instrumentation center for the life sciences that will make analytical instrumentation available to the entire science division faculty and students.
Chemistry is often called "the central science" because it connects with both the mathematical sciences (physics, math, and astronomy) and the descriptive sciences (biology, medicine, and geology). Students graduating with a chemistry degree are prepared to work in a wide variety of areas in industry, government, and education. Over the past 10 years, about 80 percent of all chemistry majors have pursued graduate or medical school degrees.

Making Cheese in Somalia
This was sent to us by our new friend, Mohamed Jesow (pictured at right).
Dear Ricki;
Happy New Year to you and your team at Cheesemaking.com. It was great dealing with you last year and I look forward to again ordering more supplies from you this year.
Really, the cheesemaking book (Home Cheese Making), rennet and some other supplies that I ordered from you last year was beneficial to us in starting our cheese making venture at Tropical Village Farms in Somalia, East Africa.
I have attached some pictures of our farm and some samples of our cheese making which I believe we can still improve and experiment in making some other types of cheese.
Please see www.tropicalvillage.net for more pictures.
The Farm provides food for the Tropical Village resort. What the farm provides includes milk, cheese, vegetables, eggs, honey and meats. It also provides mangoes along with other fruits such as grape fruits, limes, guavas and papayas.
In commemoration of my school, Southwestern University of Oklahoma, formerly Central State University, we have named our ranch Oklahoma Cattle Ranch.
In our farm, we have a cheese maker whose name is Joseph "The Cheese Maker." The Cheese Maker is from the old school of Italian cheesemaking. But it is a long time since he was at the top of his trade and he is just beginning to reach there once more.
Given the colonial history of Somalia, we have a cultural heritage largely influenced by Italian culture special in the areas of food and kitchen- "Cuccina Italo-Somalo" as we call it.
You might know that on top of the rich Italian food culture is "Spaghetti e' Formaggio" or in English- Spaghetti and Cheese.
I think Parmigiano-Reggiano originated from the town of Parma in Italy. We basically make it from unpasteurized cow's milk.
The country has been in civil strife for sometime now and we at the Tropical Village Farms are picking up the pieces and trying to revive the cheese producing industry again.
In fact, thanks to the quality of the rennet and cheese coloring we got from you last year, our cheese quality was much better than previous years.
Thanks again
Note: The cow was being milked by Dr. Aweys Ali, our veterinary doctor at Tropical Village Farms.

Taylor Luttrell-Williams (14) in Terlingua, Texas
Winner of Our 35th Anniversary Essay Contest
Taylor's winning essay may be found in our December Moosletter.
We seem to have picked a very interesting young man to be our contest winner. See if you don't agree when you read part of a thank-you note his mother, Glenda sent us:
...Tay has maintained straight A's, has gotten an impressive scholarship to two amazing music camps for fiddle and banjo, runs cross country, is his 9th grade class student government representative, moved to the state level history fair for writing an amazing research paper focusing on the impact that the border closures had on the communities on BOTH sides of our border in our area, and makes delicious cheeses and ice cream.
Tay asked that for "HIS' Christmas gift, I purchase a goat for a family in need.
Your recognition of his strengths and talents and also gift of the new press has made his hard work so worth it!! He is on CLOUD NINE!!!
I asked Taylor a few questions, so we could know more about his life:
Where do you get your milk?
Terlingua is a very isolated desert town, and my nearest source for milk is on a ranch in Marathon, TX, 110 miles north of Terlingua. I make monthly visits to this ranch, where I stock up on raw milk (I primarily use raw milk).
On average, I receive 8 plus gallons of milk from the goats and jerseys, in exchange for working.* I work with the cows milk shortly after I receive it, and I freeze the goats milk to work with over time.
* Usually, I help sanitize cheese making equipment (the owner makes cheese too) and clean jars and milk cans, but this last visit, I helped cover hay bales. The owner of the ranch is always very generous and supportive!
What have you been using for a press and a "cave?"
I use an old dutch style cheese press that I have been borrowing, and I am happy to have one of my own now.
Because the only caves in Terlingua are mine shafts, I settle with a wine refrigerator. This is a small, but nice refrigerator with adjustable temperature settings. I have fitted the interior with aging mats on racks, and use a small humidifier (or sometimes a bowl of water) to maintain adequate humidity on the bottom portion of the fridge.
Have you had any challenges to meet when making your cheese?
Over the course of my cheese making experience, I have not encountered many problems, other than a few (I have found that some cheeses do not play well with others), and also discovered the problem with UP organic milk and curd formation!
What are your cheese making goals?
As for my goals, I intend to make cheese as long as I can, hopefully for the remainder of my life.
My main goals are to further my interest by branching out and learning about different styles of cheeses, from different animals, and from different areas around the world, while learning the science behind cheese also.
Cheese making is something that I wish to keep as a life long hobby, doing it because I want to and not because I have to. Most importantly, I hope to perfect the art of cheese making (over time) and create cheese that is both aesthetically pleasing and delicious.
Cheese making has presented, for me, an unusual kind of hobby, but I plan on developing it, and sticking to it.
What are your other interests?
The pictures that I sent to you are some photos that I took during the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, Washington. Apart from cheese making, I dedicate most of my time to playing the fiddle and the banjo.
I have been playing violin for about seven years, three of which were dedicated to playing classical music. At some point, when I was 10, I decided that I was going to branch out, so I quit my classical lessons.
For the last four years, I have furthered my music, playing a variety of fiddle tunes including Cape Breton style, French Canadian, Irish, Klezmer, Spanish/American, and Old Time traditional American tunes primarily.
About two years ago, I took up the fret-less banjo, and I immediately loved it. Because of Terlingua's amazing music scene, I have been given the chance to play music with some interesting people, and my music has taken me many places. I love playing the traditional forms of music, learning about their history, and helping to preserve them.

What a great winner and example of a fine young man! I hope Tay continues his passion for cheesemaking, music, education and community involvement. I fully expect to see him at a future American Cheese Society competition and who knows? Maybe he can add a blue ribbon to his already many accomplishments. Well done and congratulations Tay!

Pages are public profiles that let artists, public figures, businesses, brands, organizations, and non-profits create a presence on Facebook and connect with the Facebook community. When someone likes a Page, they can start seeing updates from that Page in News Feed. When someone likes or comments on a Page post, that activity may be shared with their friends, increasing the Page's exposure and reach.
